LEGISLATION in Regard to Medicine.

Legislation in Regard to Medicine.
Editor Advertiser EVERY body is
discussing this important topic now
a-days, and l should like to air few
of my opinions. They have been
packed away so long I'm afraid they
will get musty. Meanwhile, 1 want
you to understand that only think
for myself Do not pretend to express
the views of physicians or mankind
in general, for l know nothing more
about physicians than L do about
Greek; and I have yet to find 1.-The
one" that comprehends the latter
class.
There seems to be pretty uniform
effort throughout our country to OBJ
tain State Legislation to regulate the
practice of medicine; and as these
efforts are by the people instead of the
physicians, the present is truly hope
full.
The administration Of medicine has
been the greatest bombUg Of the aOOrLd,
and no farce was ever played so well
and with such serious cOuntenances.
Hogarth's group of physicians, so
quantity and humorOusly expressing
the gravity of self-complacency and
ignorance, is the type of the past; and
am sorry to say is repeated too fire.
quently at the present day.
The people of Nebraska are seeking
protection for their health and lives /;
they are unable to find it upon the
pages of our statutes, and they ear
nestly ask aud demand some measures
for the purpose of elevating the stan
dard Of medicine, education and the
suppression of QuackeTy.
For nay part, L have no objection to
State Medical Boards to determine the
fitness of persons about to commence
/ the practice of medicine.
Neither would 1 care how high the
standard of attainment required, SO
that it was uniform.
I believe such examinations would
be a most powerful incentive to study;
that it would cause regular attendance
on lectures, and keep students in the
college to the close of the session.
Let the prominent schools of medi-
cine be equally represented in the
hoard of examiners; say two from the
Old-School, two Electics and two
HOmeopathics, and let the examina-
ton be upon those branches a0hjch may
be considered as forming the basis Of q
medical education.
1t seems to me that an examination
of college faculty should be suf-
licient, for it is to the interest of a col
lege that its faculty should graduate
none but deserving men.
The success of a college is based up
OH the skill and success of its gradu-
ates.
Besides, if such law as referred to
above is designed to prevent favOrit-
ism in graduating candidates, it will
fall short of its object, for experience
has shown us that State and Govern
ment officials are exceedingly prone
TO favoritism, while on the other
hand faculty will be much less So
their interests and that Of their college
being at stake.
AS we hope to elevate the standard
of medical education, we must have
more office pupiLGge; sag three gears
and attend at least ttUO fell courses Of
obstruction, and graduate IN some
School of Medicine either in the Uni
ted States or some foreign country, be-
fore dlJo,Oed to practice an the limits Of
this State.
Yours, &C.,
JOHN FLANAGAN.

7 AM DYING.

The following beautiful poem is taken from
the Memphis Bulletin. It is rarely we find
such a contribution to the columns of a
newspaper. 1t is sweetly, beautifully sad;
Raise my pillow husband dearest,
Faint and fainter comes my breath,
And these shadows stealing softly
Must, know, be those Of death.
Sit down close beside me darling,
Let me claSpsyour warm, strong hand,
Yours that ever has sustained me
To the borders of this land.
For your God and mine-our Father.
Thence shall ever lead me on,
Where upon a throne eternal,
Sits his loved and only son
I've had visions ana been dreaming,
Ger the past Of joy and pain,
Year by year I've wandered backward,
TIL was a child again.
Dreams of girlhOod and the moment
When / stood your wife and bride
How my heart filed with loves triumph
In the hour Of woman's pride.
Dreams Of thee and all earth cords,
Firmly twined about my heart
Oh the bitter burning anguish,
When first knew that we must part.
1t has passed and God has promised
All my footsteps to attend;
He that's more than friend or brother
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow DER the portal,
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal
And tis he that bids me come.
When life's trials wait around thee,
And its chilling billOws swell.
ThOul't thank Heaven that I'm spared then,
ThouPt feel that "all is we'll"
Bring our boys unto my bedside;
My last blessing let them keep
But they're sleeping do not wake them,
They'll learn soon enough to weep.i
Tell them often Of their mother,
Kiss them for me when they wake;
Lead them safely on life's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake,
Clasp my hand still closer darline,
This the last night Of my life,
For tomorrow I shall never
Answer when you call me ''wife."
Fare the well my noble husband,
Faint not meath the chaSt ming rod;
Throw your strong arm round our children,
Keep them claSe to thee-and God!

thought, and using economy, every
thing that is either useful or desirable
might be at command; yet, strange
to say, a man that brands" a thOus-
and calves per annum will let them
take the milk and he will send to the
North for his cheese, butter and milk.
He does not even milk enough for his
black coffee, but if he uses any, he
will buy condensed milk"

piled beyond my intention. Allow
me, therefore, to close somewhat alb

SELECT SCHOOLS.

Owing to the press of other duties,
was not able to follow up the subject
of ''Select Schools" as 1 expected /;
and now, without taking any notice
of an article published after my first,
purpOrting to be an answer to it, 1
will proceed at once to simply state
the reasons for considering. Select
Schools" /" as a general thing are inju-
rious to the real interests of education.
And first, their direct tendency is
to break down the common school, or
at least to cripple it sadly.

"Where every prospect pleases,
And only man is Vile"

There are men here who have herds
of cattle numbering from hundreds to
five, ten or fifteen thousand. The
summers need not be spent in gather
ing hay for them at great expense, nor
the winter months in feeding them.
They feed themselves the year round,
only requiring the COW boy to salt
the old ones and brand the young
ones.
The hogs are raised in the same
way. When slaughtered, they, the
same as the cattle, are taken from ''the
range" to the market =
Bees do well, ami not unfrequently
a single man owns from one to several
hundred "hives" of workers.

advantages of this large State, warm

OUR NEW COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.

Wickcrsham told Joshua Beans, Esq,
some time ago, that when Demo.
ocratic County Superintendent resign
cd, he would appoint one OF that poll
tics to Gil the vacancy, but he has
gone back on his promise. The truth
is that Mr., Wickersham had not the
courage to do what was right, even If
he was inclined that way. lie imag-
ines he is to be n statesman, and
wants the Radical nomination for
Congress in Lancaster, therefore he
was afraid TO appoint Democrat
lest il might hurt his chances. He
bad better 20 into politics as soon as
he can get there, for his usefulness as
State Superintendent is gone. We
believe Congress to be tho fttest
place for him. Having thus shown
The clovcn foot, he is it person to
step into Thaldeus Stevens old shoes,
and with little association with
Whittemorc, tho "modcl Congress
