The Providence Journal gives the
following account of how an ener-
getic American lady made her way
to professional privileges and hon
ors. Success is the way to prove
fitness of any arduous or honorable
profession. What woman has done,
woman still may do. The Journal
says;
One Of our fair countrywomen has
won a brilliant triumph in Paris,
and broke down the barriers which
have fenced out ladies from the med
ical schools of France. Miss Kate
Putnam, the daughter of the distin-
guished New York publisher, find
ing it impossible to secure admis-
sion into the medical schools of New
York, came to Paris, hoping for bet
ter fortune. Everybody told her it
was folly to think of entering the
Partisan schools, for no lady hat
ever been admitted. But she had
the plucky American spirit, not east
ly daunted, and, to her surprise, the
first application, made through a
friend to one Of the professors for
liberty to enter his dissecting-room,
was granted. But her JOY was
short-lived, for the next day came a
courteous note from the Professor
himself, saying thatsth request was
granted with the understanding she
would wear mems clothes.
This was q cold blanket to her
hopes, for ber true womanly dclica-
cy would stOop to no such disguise.
But she watched her opportunity,
waylaying the Professor on his way
to the lecture-room, and arguing her
case shrewdly. He told her very
coouy that the cases in which ladies
had entered his rooms had been in
male attire, and he thought it indis-
pensablc. But with adroitness and
wit she pointed to her little figure,
and gravely asked how she could
cheat anybody into a belief of her
masculine character? The disguise
would only make her disguise the
more conspicuous. The Professor
was pleased with her earnesmess,
yielded the point, and gave the Gov
eted entrance without conditions.
The Professor watched her closely
for g few days, and being satisfied
with her capacity and success, asked
her why she did not enter the school
in full,
Her heart leaped at the question,
but she dcmurcly replied, II am
told it is impossible by no
means" replied tho Professor; IF
you make an application, l Will see
that it is granted" She was soon
enrolled as a regular studcrt, and
an English girl, encouraged by her
success, made a similar application
and was also admitted. The two
ladies proved themselves fully equal
to the work in hand, keeping abreast
of the best students in the class, and
at the closing examination Miss Put
nam, TO the great delight of the
Dean and Faculty, answered readily
the most difficult questions, and re
ceived the mark Tres satisfait," the
highest ever given, and given to her
alone this year. as Paris fashions
give law to Europe, the question OF
admission for ladies to the medical
schools of the Continent may be re.
garded as practically settled,

SAD ENDING OF A RoMANCE.
a Private Soldier Condemned 10 Dea Ii
for Falling In Love.

To-day, just as the sun is at mer-
idian, just as with solemn sound the
! great bell of the st. Louis Cathedral
Itoll forth the hour of noon, soldier
will pay the penalty Of crime for
which military justice knows but
one expiation. The United States
barracks, below the city, has been
the place selected where the execu-
ton is to take place. and the green
sward Of the parade ground will ere
many hours be stained with the
crimson life-blood ofthe unfortunate
man.
He was member Of one Of the
companies Of United States troops
stationed near a village in one of the
interior parishes Of Louisiana. Near
the camp Of the company was the
plantation of a wealthy gentlemen
who had sympathised with the Uni
on cause during the war, and who,
therefore, was the object of special
attention on the part of the officers
OF the command then performing
provost duty. The planter had a
large family among whom was a
daughter who possessed in a remark
able degree that rare type Of beauty
for which the women of the South
are noted, She had imbibed the
sentiments of her father, and, there
fore took great pleasure in enter
tanning the officers who frequently
visited the house.
The First Lieutenant of the COM
p8ny, Ambrose Black, at once con
ceived warm attachment for the
beautiful young cre6le, and endea-
vored in every way to induce her to
share his feelings. Strange to say,
however, the lady treated him in a
peculiarly polite but formal manner,
that proved her heart was ice to-
ward him. This was a great shock
to his vanity, and he was at q loss
to understand it. Finally the ex-
PLANTATION came, when one of his
companions, playfully railing him
upon his i'll success, stated that he
had discovered why the lady refused
to smile upon him: he had accident
ally witnessed an interview between
herself and Private Alfred Blake, the
soldier who had BEN detailed to
guard the house-an interview
which proved conclusively that the
heart of the maiden was irrevocably
the priyate's and not the officers.
This intelligence was too much
for Lieutenant Black. His pride
was wounded in its most vital point.
He had been forestalled where his
heart was most enlisted, and by one
of his own subordinates. Seeking
Private Blake at once, he poured out
the walls of his wrath upon him,
taunted him with his position, and
declared he would send him where
he should have no more opportuni-
ties of dallying with a shameless girl
while on duty. Alfred Blake had
borne much, but this coarse aIlusion
to the woman he loved better than
life, fired heart and brain, and with
one blow he struck his officer pros
trate upon the ground in the pres
ence of his company.
Then followed the trial-which
was rendered inexpressibly touching
by the presence of the woman who
had dared to love a private soldier

LYING ABED IN THE MORNING.

love to rove in the shady grove,
Where the gentle zephyTs are floating;
I love to sit at the. social board,
Where buckwheat cakes are smoking;
l love 70 gaze at the golden blaze,
Where Sol the West is adjoining,
But this .J,e lar better than all
To lie abed il the morning.
That po.ts should sing of the joys Of spring,
Is not in the least surprising;
But I can't conceive how man should weave
a sonnet to early rising
Though Franklin Of old was o sage, am told,
can't go with him in scorning
The blissful scenes in the land Of dreams,
When lying abed in the morning.
I love to lie when the sunbeams shy,
Come peeping through the curtains;
When phantoms bright regale the sight
With visions OF coffee and mullins;
When the birds loud thrill from the distant hill
The chorus of nature Is joining;
If there's aught below can Danish woe,
'Tis lying abed in the morning.
Let those who choose, retire to snooze
When the ducks and chickens are going,
And rub their eyes when forced to rise
at the chantic.eers dismal growing;
They loose thu sight of the gorgeous night,
And spend the days in yawning;
Til midnight damp I'll burn the lamp,
And lie abed in the morning.
