MINNESOTA THE COUNTRY FOR CoNsuMP-- Ts'Es. IT The St. Paul Pioneer has obtained from the State Department ct Washington copy of an interesting report by Dr. Leas our consul in Madeira, upon the subject of "clinate as a curative agent in consump- tion."A The report will be published in the Commercial Relation for 1867. Its author is an educated physician, was for several y ears att the Health Department of the city 1of Baltimore, and has served, as consul, in Central America, Russia, and Sweden, and is now at Funchal, Madeira. He says that the long established reputation of Madeira as q resort for consumptives is "disintegra- ting This fact may be accounted for by the increase of consumption among the lower classes of the island by the vacations with which the stupid government sur rounds invalids, and by the revolting sys- tenn of begging which is allowed and en- couraged in the streets of Funchal. South ern France and Algiers do not possess so fine climate, but they are more accessible, the local authorities are polite and active in their care of visitors, and the current of invalid travel has turned from Madeira to those countries and to Egypt. The climate Of all these southern resorts, Dr. Leas thinks, is still to be recommended to inva- lids in the advanced stages of consumption where the utmost that can be secured is the prolongation of ife But to persons lin the first or forepart of the second stage he recommends a residence in the highe, northern attitudes, especially in Minnesota. The object to be attained Is the thorough oxygenation of the blood.

THE LADY CRITIC OF THE TRIBUNE.

a The New York Tribune employs lady critic named Miss Kate Field. Kate is al- so the correspondent of the Springfield Republican, writes for the Atlantic Month ly and seems to be quite genius in her way. She is daughter of Cyrus W. Field of the Atlantic Cable notoriety. One of the theatrical papers says of her:
 '"The critiques with regard to Ristori that have appeared in the New York .Tri- bune have all emipated from the pen of Miss Kate Field. Mir. Field is wealthy man; his turn out in the park is one of the finest in New York. His daughter is young lady of remarkable beauty, and as much character in her way as the well known Yankee cantatrice, Miss Kellogg, who boxes and fences as well as she sings, and whose knowledge of music-and she is an accomplished musician-is but slightly superior to her. knowledge of the good points of a horse and dog. Miss Field is an ardent admirer-one might say she throws into her essays in the Tribune all the emotions of her nature. Indeed, she has ikened Ristori to an angel from hea- ven, somewhat to the Comparatively dis advantage ofthe angel On Ristofi nights Miss Field proceeds, immediately upon the conclusion of the performance, to the Fri
 bune office, which is distant two miles from the theatre. Her escort through the poor y-hghted and deserted streets of the lower city consists of coachman and footman
 She usually arrives at the Tribune office about midnight, and attired in full eve ming dress, mounts the narrow and crook ted stairways of the building to burst as sort of becrinohned nrolite, upon the vision l of the assembled Jenkinses of Mr. Greeley's
 establishments 4Flinging her cloak, aside,
 she seizes pen and paper, and constructs ther criticisms, losses her copy to the open
 mouthed Ganymede in attendance. and followed by her fiunkey, sails out again to
 her carriage, and SO to- her Fifth Avenue l home, to await the appearance of the jour-
 nal to whose columes she has contributed. The scene in the office during the visit of Miss Field is strange one. The Tribnnf

BEECHER ON FEMALE SUFFRAGE,

| ] The following is an extract from the lec- ture of Mr., Baecher, at Albany recently: 1 As to women, their right to vote turned
 on the question whether they are human beings. If they are, they ought to vote. His mother possessed nature more noble,
 character more exalted, and mind more
 enlarged, than he-why, then, should he stand before her and say: ''I shall vote and you shall not" Suppose the case re- versed, and women, holding the franchise, the question should arise, as to the right of
 man to share in 1t. -'
 How would you like 1t if 8 woman would | say: "We are better than you, we are
 more refined, we are more yirtuous, we
 bear the children, govern the boys and the young men, why, then, should we not also govern the old men?" The fact is, said the lecturer, man could not urge one reason
 where women could urge ten. Questions of morality and taste nowlargely enter in- to the framework of politics. In morals.
 woman ls more firm and infexibfe than
 man, while in discriminating taste she is greatly his superior The world is attain ing higher political civilization. and in this, as in allthings else, God has taught us that 1t Is not good for man to be alone. We need her higher intuition and more ex- alted purity. Civilization is not monosex-
 ual. There can be no civilization whele
 men have only men s thoughts and woman
 only woman's thoughts. There must be
 mutual blending of the two. ''1
 But 1t IS said that politics are too vilefor
 women.2 But are they not vile because solely vlrlie? Women would purify them The lecturer then proceeded to argue that the possession of ballet would give new poweP to the family The mother would be wiser, and so would the children. 1 Girls would not be so frivolous. They are l giddy because there is nothing put in the brain. Invest them with new 1esponsibil-
 ities, and you will steady them. Sewing i on shirt buttons and making bread are not
 degrading, but they should also look high
 CT. Woman is adapted to lift the world tor
 ward the stars. Why not invest her with i the power to do so more effectually?

LADIES DRESSES AND THEIR Cosr.--A la- dy correspondent of San Francisco pa- per writes: s"One lady of my acquaint- ance, of refined and cultivated tastes, and noted for her tasteful wardrobe for home as well as street costumes, expends upon it $10 per month. Of course her own grace ful handiwork is apparent in a large pro- portion of her. apparel. Another, less cir cumscribed,. dresses very handsomely on $15 per month; and still another, whose genteel outfit attracts many an observant eye upon Montgomery street, succeeds in keeping her expenditures within $3O per month. These are not suppositional cases, nor isolated ones; their name is legion. Commenting upon this item, the. editor re- marks: We suggest to the ladies in, ques- ton that they can make good thing of i: financially, by opening school in this city for the purpose of teaching women how to dress with taste and economy. If they can teach women how to get themselves up in good shape at an expense of from $120 to $40 per annum,7 we venture to say they can realize more than the teachers of any other art in existence. .5
