Distinguished Women.

At the recent opening of the fifth
annual session of the Medical College
for Women in London, DR.. Geo. Ross
delivered the inaugural lecture. The
following is an extract:
History abOunds in narratives of
women who have distinguished theAn-
selves in every vocation of life. They
have attained the highest reach of
knowledge, and have accomplished
the most daring feats of valor. Is it a
question of intellect? Let Hypatia,
who was the most successful teacher in
the school of Alexandria in its palmi-
est days, who was the greatest philOs-
Opher of her age, who was the most
eloquent orator among many rivals,
who was far more learned than the
profOundest Of her erudite contempo-
raries-let Hypatia give the answer.
But not Hypatia only, for there have
been many as able and learned as she.
Was not ClOtilda Tambroui, even in
this century, professor Of Greek at BO-
logna, and the ablest Hellenist in
Italy? DIR. johnson told them that
Mrs. Elizabeth Carter was the best
Greek scholar in England. Madame
Dacier rivalled the most learned schol-
ars of her time. Caroline Herschel
assisted her brother William in his
astronomical labors, made for him
some OF his most labOriOus calcula-
tiOns, and enriched science with many
valuable contributions. Had not Mrs.
SOmerville also acquired eminent dis
tinctiOn in the same abStruse and diff
ficuIt study? The unfortunate and
erring Madame de Chatelet translated
the "Principia" into French, and was
not less learned than she was elegant.
Anna Maria Schumau spoke Latin,
Greek and Hebrew, and the chief
modern languages-Was well versed
in the Syriac, Chaldaic, Arabic and
EthiOpic, and had mastered all the
sciences taught in herage. The learned
Spanheim, SOssiuS, and Salmasius
were her correspondents. There had
been no grand epoch of human con-
tiict that had not given birth to its
extraordinary wOmen-tO its Anne
Askew, its Joan of Arc, its Agostinia,
its Charlotte COrday, its Madame RO-
land, its Florence Nightingale. A
Boadicea was the brightest name in
our early history; an Elizabeth one of
the most famous in our later annals;
Semiramis was the mightiest sover-
eign of her line; and in the Hebrew
records the greatest of all the judges,
the one that was meyer censured by
priest or prophet, was Deborah, the
mother of Israel. These were the most
brilliant stars; but there were a thou
sand more of scarcely inferior splen-
dor. The names of Bewan and La
Chapelle stood as high in professional
estimation as those Of any male pro-
fessors of the Obstetric art.

Liquor Drinking.

There are 5293 places in New York
city where liquor is sold, the annual
receipts of which are supposed to fig
ure up in the neighhorhood of $685.
236, $50. Capital invested in the traffic,
$500, 900, ,0Od. The annual arrests for
drunkenness alone, independent of
other crimes of which liquor is the
origin, fail but little short of $4,000.
OF lager beer there are upwards of
40, 600 kegs consumed daily. If all
the liquor shops were ON one street, it
is estimated that it would have to be
eleven miles in length to contain
them. Philadelphia is supposed to
contain over seven thousand places
where liquor traffic is carried on
either by Virtue of a license, or in de-
flance of law. The strict prohibition
law of Massachusetts, instead of check
ing the evil, only appears to add fuel
to the fame, and drunkenness is on
the increase. 1t is estimated that
there are 600, 600 persons in the United
States engaged in the liquor business,
Selling, not drinking against some

FROM CUBA.
Reported Atrocities by the Insurgent
Forces.
Reduced Rates for kilograms by the
Cuban Cable
A Colonization Scheme worthy Of the
Radicals.

= HAVANA, January 8.-The Prenza
announces the killing of thirty men
in the vicinity of Nanzela, few days
ago, by the insurgents.
The reduction in Cable rates gives
general satisfaction. A further reduc-
tion is contemplated when the West
India cable is finished.
The VOce de Cuba seriously advises
the re-pOpulation of the Island with
Spanish soldiers who have arrived
to put down the insurrection, and in
vites them to settle permanently in
Cuba, and thus exterminate the enc
mics Of Spain.
The VOce de Cuba to-day published
a telegram from New York, stating
that the the Junta yesterday resolved
to hire persons to assassinate the Span
ish Minister.
The capture of the Spanish Consul
and editor of the CrOaiStd, off Port au
Prince, by the Haytien insurgents, is
fully confirmed.

river is the initial movement in the
expulsion of the British authority
from the North American continent.
Some gs so far as to say that the Fe-
mans are at the bottom of it, but this
is denied by Minnesotans here who
profess to be well acquainted with the
movement. The President does not
deem it advisable, just now, to pub
lish the information received on the
subject at the State Department, as
requested by the Senate; but an army
officer of excellent judgment has been
ordered to visit the frontier, near the
scene Of disturbances, and report at
once. Meanwhile the British Gov
ernment will not be permitted to cross
any part of the United States with
troops or munitions of war.
THE COURT OF CLAIMS.
The Court of Claims meets on Mon
day, when many important decisions
will be rendered. The cotton cases,
which are the most important ones
pending, have been suspended to
await the decision of the several cases,
involving between two and three mil
lions dollars, which have been ap-
pealed, and are now before the Su-
preme Court.
MR.. PEABODY's REMAINS.
The Navy Department to-day re-
ceived dispatches from Capt. MeCOmb,
commanding the Plymouth, which
accompanies the British war vessel
Monarch, with the remains of Mr..
Peabody, and he informs the depart
ment that they will take the Southern
route, touching at Madeira and Ber-
muda, and they will not reach Port
land until about the 18th Of January.
THE PATENT OFFICE.
The business Of the Patent Office is
shown by the fact that during the
year just closed there were 1921
applications for patents, and 1886
IooHto, DGolOCo Iuo EcLoou6o. III loJJ
there were but 4,538 issues, and in
IS49 but ,07O. The receipts last year
were S693, ,l45, which is about $50, 200
greater than in any previous year.
The work is now brought up nearer
to the rate than ever before.
GEORGIA.
The &C lservatives of Georgia have
not abandoned the hope Of controlling
that State, and it is possible, after all,
that Congress, in order. to figure up a
majority of Radicals, may be com.
PEELED to resort 70 more reconstruction.
There is talk of a Democratic State
Convention IN Georgia, to discuss
questions Of party policy; among
others, whether, in order tOprevent
the carpet-baggers from getting pos
session of the State Government, it
not be advisable to ratify the XVIII
Amendment. In opposition to this

DEMOCRACY.
The 'Unterrified" of Indiana in Con-

INDIANAPOLIS, January S.-The
Democratic Convention met to-day
and nominated Gen. Bayless w. Han
ma for AttOrney-General, and other
State officers to inferior positions. The
resolutions denOunce the centraliZa-
ten schemes of Congress to regulate
the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court,
favor a fair and equal taxation, favor
the payment Of 5-20's in greenbacks,
condemn the policy of the Admins
tratiOn in buying such bonds, favor
abOlishing the National Bank system,
oppose the contraction of currency,
and favor the taxation of United
States bonds.

He was very properly styled the war

Gen. Pike, and none know better the

The Views of Or. 0sgOOd.

The New York Ecenilg Post says
A report is in circulation that DR.. S.
0sgOOd, well known as the late pastor
Of the Unitarian Church of the Mes
Siah, has joined the Episcopal Church.
He denies having done so, but says
that he has discon tinued his cOnnec-
ton with the Unitarian organization,
on the score of Objecting to sectarian-
ism In aGy form. He may, in future,
ioin the Episcopal Church upon a
broad basis, which shall not be ex-
acting on mere doctrinal points; but
at present he will devote himself to
literary pursuits.
In taking this step, of which he says
he gave his associates formal notice,
both last summer, when in Europe,
and since his return, he had no inten-
ton of disparaging or denying the
Christian name or character Of Unit
arians. He &eant simply to affirm
that he did nOtNish to remain in an
organization that began, and virtually
continued, in anti-Trinitarian views.
He says he is neither anti-Trinit :; :,
nor anti-Unitarian, but desires to
stand on the unseotarian foundation
of the apostles. His opinions, he re
marks, are not so much changed OF
late, as matured. He has always
been a liberal churchman, and has for
years desired more church organiza-
tiOns, more liturgical worship, and a
stronger affirmation of Cbrist's divin-
ity than at present prevails among
Unitarians. He will not again preach
for some months. His health requires
quiet and retirement.
The Doctor observes that he found a
general expression among the English
clergy, that the desire for worship was
greater than ever, but that the doc
trinal points Of the past excited no in
terest among the people. He speaks
of the sentiments of several high di-
vines of the Church of England as re-
markably liberal.
