CoRoNER's INQUEST.
terday morning police officers Angle and
Peasants, acting upon information re-
ceived, found the dead body Of female
mulatto infant in sink upon the premises
of Mr.. Marshall Pinkus, 507 Marshall
street. The babe was bound tightly about
the neck with piece of strong red tape,
leading to the belief that death was caused
by strahgulation. Coroner Little being
notified, Jurors were Immediately sum-
moned, and, after viewing the body, ad-
iourned to the second police station. Here
was heard the evidence of Omi Hill and
Jennie CASTOR, tending to criminate Mary
Jane Green, a negro girl, supposed to be
the mother of the child.
DR.. Peterfeld Trent testified that he
was called to see the suspected person
about two weeks ago, and finding con-
gestion of both lungs, treated her accord
ingly. He had made no examination with
regard to the matter before the jury.
Policeman Angle testified in regard to the
finding of the body, but declined to tell
from whom his information was received.
The jury, after patient hearing Of the
evidence, found that the infant met its
death on Thursday night or Friday morn
ing, February Goth, by strangulation, at
the hands of its mother, Mary Jane Green.
The accused was sick in bed, but was i'm
mediately arrested, and lodged in the So
cond station-house to await hearing.

| Il has been. established, he said, that the
camp fever is not, as was supposed, iden-
tical with typhoid fever; that malarial fe-
vers cannot only be prevented, but that
prevention could be induced by remedies
far less active than quinine; that yellow
fever does not, exist as an endemic in any
port of the United States north of Calves
ton, and that its existence further north
must be due to local cause THAT the use
of the lancet may be almost entirely aban-
doned with safety and the Importance Of
treating cutaneous diseases, such as
measles, scarlet fever, and smallpox, in
open hospitals, had been established !;
abundant ventilation reducing the NOR
tality to its minimum. ss..
The disputed question in regard to the
efficiency of negro as q soldier has been
permanently settled. In the Federal armies
there died in action, or from wounds !:
ofregulars, thirty per cent. Of volunteers,
thirty five per cent. of negroes, only six
teen per cent. So much for the battle
field. How in regard to the vigor of the
negro in camp? Here there died from
disease: of regulars, forty-two per cent. !;
of volunteers, fifty-nine per cent Of me-
groes, one hundred and forty-one per cent.
This Notwithstanding that the negro was
acclimated, while the white troops were
either foreigners or from distant and
different climate. Is it then uery s1rpri-
sing that the negro regiments were dis
banded at the close of the war;
Lastly, the Professor referred to that
most welcome lesson taught by the women
of the South. He referred with eloquence
and enthusiasm to their generous self.sac-
rifce, heroism, valor, and patient suffering,
in the cause of liberty. The Order Of
Sisters of Charity have always been justly
eulogized but in our war, sisters of charity
sprang up from every southern 6reside,
cheerfully surrendering their luxuries, re-
finement, and womanly seclusion, to min
lister to the wants of their suffering coun-
trymen. The women of the South have
always been admired for their purity of
character, for their exalted virtues, and
distinguished characteristics but by their
record during the war they have erected
in our hearts an altar at which they will be
loved and praised and remembered for
ever.
In conclusion, DR.. Gaillard addressed
himself particularly to the gentlemen of
the graduating class in words of kindness
and farewell, at the same time giving them
earnest advice in regard to the practice of
their profession and their duties in life.
The address was exceedingly interest
ing, and was listened to with profound at
tention. One of its greatest charms to
those unacquainted with the science of
medicine was its freedom from the dry
and unintelligible technicalities 80 often
abounding in such addresses.
