APPALLING CASUALTY.
Three Mea Killed.

An appalling accident, resulting
in the death of three men and the
im minent peril Of s. fourth, occurred
this morning, at half past nine
o o'clock on the southeast corner of
Lake street and Wabash avenue.
The men were painters, in the en-
ploy of F. G. Johnson, corner of
Clark and Ontario streets. For a
week past three of them had been
engaged in painting the exterior of
the five story brick building, Nos.
80 and 81 Lake street, occupied as
a Wholesale boot and shoe estab-
lishmcnt by Messrs. Daggett, Bas-
sett & Hills, and they used for the
purpose Of ascending a scaffold or
staging about forty feet long and
three feet wide, in two parts, sus-
pended from the roof fronting on
Lake street by blocks and tackle, a
set being on each end, resp, ctively,
and one sustaining che two stages.
which were spliced in the centre.
Another man was added to the
number to day, and about 9 o'clock
this morning the four ascended to
within a few feet of the roof with
their painting material and began
work, the distance being about sixty
feet from the board sidewalk. They
had but fairly commenced opera
tions when a small iron ring in the
centre tackle broke, by reason of
the weight and flaw in the metal.
causing the two stages to part and

Senator Revels Helps a Constitu-
emf .+

H
Wonders do not cease in these
days. The appearance of colorcd
man in the seat III the United States
Senate made vacant by the resigna
ton of jeff Davis, constituted a
distinguished mark in the progress
of events. This has been followed
by another event still more clearly
indicating the extraordinary era in
which we lie. We refer to the pre-
scntation to the Senate by Mr. Rev
els, of the following resolution of
the Legislature of Mississippi, bear
ing the signature of the Governor
and the great seal Of the State, ask
ing pardon for jeff Davis and other
rebels:
Eeso'ye1, That the people Of Mis-
sissibpi, having adopted Constitu
ton Republican in form, and the
Leeirlature of said State having rat
flied the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, the Congress of
the United States is hereby respect
fully petitioned for the speedy re-
moyal of the disabilities of all citi-
zens of the State of Mississippi, and
that Senator Revels be requested to
present the action Of this body to
the Senate Of the United States.
Little did the proud and naughty
Davis, when he shook from his feet
the dust of the Senate Hall, On his
retirement to take the lead of the
rebellion dat was to strengthen and
perpetuate slavery through the ov
erthrow Of the Union thing that his
firstsuccessor would be negro cho
sen by MississippiLegislature,and
that amoag his first acts would be
his intercession and the presentation
of petition for his pardon, for the
crime of treason committed in snch
rebellion. The history of the world,
we venture to say, furnishes no Pa
rallel for this extraordinary turn in
events. But for the known existing
facts, the case would be incredible

Lady Doctors in Scotland.

For some time it has been matter
of grave and anxious deliberation
among the heads of the University
of Edinburg whether or not ladies
should be admitted to the medical
curriculum and to the medical de-
gree. That University, founded
as far back as the year 1882, not
only has character to maintain as
the metropolitan among the four
great academical institutes of
Scotland, but because it is also one
of the greatest and most renowned
medical schools in Europe For the
last century it las stood extremely
high in this respect. Don't wonder,
then, that doubt, anxiety. all serious
discussion arose out of the proposal
to permit women ''to walk the hos
pitals,'' to learn medicine, surgery,
pharmacy, and to be regularly auth
orized, after it was ascertaned that
they had passed through the regular
form, complied with the usual routine
OF study, and obtained requisite
knowledge of the healing art to re
ceive the title represented by the
initials M d. and obtain the
University license to practice Tho
art of healing. 1t is to be remem-
bered too, that the Scotch ere a
dobting people, slow in foming an
opinion, and almost reluctant to

tating three of the men to the side
walk, and causing their death i'll a
short time afterward The fourth,
William johnson, brother Of the
employing painter, quickly seized
the rope of the tackle on the east
end of the platform and olung to it.
One of the employees in the store
ran up on the roof, reached over
its edge, grasped him by the coat
collar, and hauled him safely up.
The three men who fell were car
ried into the store. in an uncon-
scious state. William Greeman
was standing on the west end of the
platform when it fell, and had his
neck broken, besides receiving fatal
internal and other injuries. He
lived about ten minutes after the ac-
cident. Next to him on the scaf-
fold stood a young German, He
also died few minutes after being
taken into the store. His injuries
were internal. Thomas Flvnn was
in the center of the staging. close to
the others, and next to johnson.
He received a frightful wound on
the forehead, just over the right
|eye, besides broken limbs and inju-
ries which would cause death. He
lived until about quarter of elev-
en- o'clock. -- r. -...., .so+
Several physicians were soon at
the scene of the. casualty but the
unfortunate men were beyond the
reach of human skill. The coroner
went promptly to the place, and had
the bodies removed to the ,Armory,
preparatory to an inquisition. Sew
eral persons on the opposite side of
the two streets, who saw the scat
fold give way, and the three men
fall amid a shower of paint brushes,
ETC., described the scene as horri7
bic, causing their blood to chill
with horror. The bodies were COW
cred with the paint, which was
scattered over the front wall of the
building, on the sidewalk. Hanging
downward by the ropes, fastened to
either end of the root, we're the
stages, which wers removed shortly
after the occurrenee.-[ Chicago

The Toledo Commercial of last
week says:
The entent of tie evils arisinf from
prostitution are little understood by
even the great mass of those living
in cities, where its effects are most
felt. Whether we consider its influ-
ence upon the health of the people
or upon their morals, there is no
vice which equals this. The facts
which have been collected through
various sources, all demonstrate tho
truthfullness of the assertion that
prostitution is waging a succe s sful
warfare against civilization.
Toledo, like all other cities, suffers
from this source to an extent little
suspected by the better classes of
her people. Our men of business,
and our women who have the cares
Of families upon them, certainly do
not properly understand the infiu-
ence which are at work upon the
society into which they are leading
their children If they did, it would
not be possible for them to be so in
different and SO little informed upon
this subject.
From the best information that
can be collected, there are in Toledo
about seventy five houses of prosti-
tntion-open and notorious places
of resort, these houses will probably
average three inmates each, m aking
a total of 225 public prostitutes. In
addition to these, there are a large
number of what are known as 'kept
girls young women who are the
nistresses of single or married men
and are kept in private rooms which
are rented and fitted up for them by
their fancy men, We do not sup
pose the number of this class will
exceed rs, thus making a total Of
300 open and avoWed prostitutes in
the city. -s

MEN WILL BE FOOLED.

Ought I to be ashamed of myself
for thus exposing the cherished Sc
crets of my sex? Well, I am not,
and for this reason: nobody will
believe 1t. and the masculine popu-
lation will go on being fooled as
contentedly as before. The acting
is too perfect, and the victims too
willing and too blinded by their
own conceit, for my disclosures to
do them any good or the feminine
world any harm. Women will go
on their way victorious and rejoic-
ing. Men will still be victimized,
just as they always have been, ever
since Eve persuaded Adam to eat
the apple, because she would want
somebody to take care of her and
buy her dresses after she should be
driven ont of Eden. They despise
the truth, go on in their folly, and
probably take me for malignant
tongued spinster of forty five, in
stead of pretty woman of twenty,
who knows all about 'em.

The preliminary examination of A.
T.. Robinson, for the murder of Mary j I.
Lunsford, took place to-day before the
Mayor. Dentists Decamp and Taft
testified to the surprising similarity
between the cast taken from aobinsen's 5
mouth and the corresponding marks
upon the woman's arms. The counsel
for the defense. owing to the excited
state of the public mind, preferred to
close the examination at this point, ,and
allow their clint to be committed tor
trial before a higher court. The pris-
oner was, therefore, relnantled.

ALL SORTS OF MEN.
There is a great difference in
men. Some are as true hearted and
unsuspicious as Newfoundland
dogs; Others are like rat terriers,
always nosing around under the
impression that there is something
going on that they don't quite
understand. Some are noble and
genarous; others thoroughly mean
and contemplate. Some are mod
est; others overrun with vanity and
egotism Some are invariably kind
and considerate; others go about
with their eyes shut, in utter igno-
rance of the trouble they are giving
by their carelessness. Some are
slow and steady and to be depen-
ded upon; others quite brilliant and
unreliable. Some have a taste for
detail aud attend to all the minutia
of a subject, while others care only
for great principles, and require a
thing to be gigantic before it arrests
their attention. Men of genius are
always uncomfortable to live with.
Absorbed on one subject, they ig
more trifles, and trifles make up tn e
comfort and discomfort of life
Men have talents for different things,
and some have talent for being
good husbands. 1t was probably
neglect and annoyance that made
Xantippe shrew. The founder of
stoics could not be expected to
sympathize with the trials of house
keeping. Mediocrity is best suited
to matrimony. One never wants to
be too close to brilliant light.
THE INCONSISTENCY OF MEN.
Men are most inconsistent beings.
Those among them who write most
beautifully of domestic happiness
generally quarrel with their wives,
and they who spend the largest
amount themselves oftenest wonder
what their women kind can want of
SO much money. They hate vanity
in woman, but are always pleased
with compliment themselves, and
can be coaxed into slmost anything
by little judicious fattery. They
like to receive plenty Of attention,
and are frequently jealous of their
own babies. They always imagine
that women have nothing to do
nothing to worry about, and, though
very fond of rehearsing their own
troubles when they come home at
night, never have patience to listen
to those of their wives. "What
can q woman have to worry her,
sitting at home all day p they won
der. heerits 1s..-s
THE SHREWDNEss OF WOMEN.
Women are adopts in turning all
the weaknesses of masculine hu
manity to their own account They
suit themselves to the different
tastes of the men they meet, flatter
their vanity and facinate them with
out the unfortunate victims of their
wiles having the slightest suspicion
of what is being done. They never
exhibit the kno wledge they have
gained. but always allow the sub
ject of their Investigations to sup
pose that he is reducing the very
impression he is trying to produce
Invariably, to all appearances,
taking him at his own valuation
bnt secretly marking him down a,
exactly what he is worth. They
know who like spirited women
and who is pleased with extreme
