War of the Medical Students Ended.

Despite the boisterous and ungentcmmly
opposition of the young men connected with
the Pennsy wanna Medical College. the Trus.
tees of that institution have fully settled up
on the policy ofadmitting women to its class
es. At recent meeting Of the Trustees, it
was decided to hold separate clinics, on two
days Of each week for the benefit of the fo-
male students This seems to be virtual
admission that women are entitled to all the
advantages enjoyed by the other sex in thc
study ofanatomy. Admitting that a female
physician should be familiar with all the Sc.
crets of physiology, and the intricacies Of hui
man construction, the question arises, how
shall she attain such information? Those
who have any knowledge of the operations
frequently performed at clinics, can see many
reasons why they should not be performed be-
fore promscuous classes-thoueh it is impor-
tant that none who design to practice medi-
cine and surgery should be entirely excluded
from them. In organizing separate classes,
the Philadelphia Trustees relieve women
students from doing violence to their native
modesty if they wish to procure ndispensa-
Bile information while at the same time thew
save them from the liability to jeers and in
suits on the part Of their male associates.
The question of woman's adaptability to
the high and sacred mission Of nurse. physi.
elan and healer is no longer a debatable one.
Since the days Of yellow fever at the South.
the advent Of Florence Nightingale ON the
Crimea, and the heroic services Of Miss Dix
and hundreds like her in our military hospi-
tails, the want of endurance has no longer
been urged, and the capability Of scientific
education was the only problem remaining
open This has been answered by a score Of
thoroughly disciplined female physicians, who
underwent the ordeal Of searching examiua-
ton, and are now in extensive practice
while wherever the opportunity is afforded
as in Philadelphia-they are not whit be.
hind their male competitors in all the higher
8toinments Of the profession. Notwithstand-
ing the difficulties that have attended a rec.
ogniiion Of her right to practice, woman is Ger.
tain to advance rapidly in this sphere of eff
fort aud the time is not distant when, in ref.
erenee at least to a peculiar class of cases.
affecting her own sex, the wonder will be that
men were ever employed at all.

Brain Waves.

1t Is a well-known fact that we often think
OF people just before we meet them. when we
may not have thought Of them for years be-

OF the death Of friends who may be thousands

that as light is the result Of waves Of ntber

Mr., Richardson's conduct had been perfectlv

deceased and was glad, he said TO have an
opportunity OF expressing personally his
warmest sympathy with Mrs. Richardson un-

her.
Mr.. Mcfarland was informed in prison very
early Of the death Of his victim. &" Is he

This was said quite coolly, and without any
