with innumerable electric cells, who can AT

feet in length IT is powerful enough to kill the
largest animals when it discharges its nervous

FEMALE MEDICAL STUDENTS IN GERMANY
The Herald of Health for September contains an
interesting letter from DR.. Mary Stafford on the
treatment she has met with at the various Ger
man medical schools. She writes from Breslau,
and says: Having been two years, nearly. in
Vienna, without meeting with an obstacle to i'm
pede the progress of my studies, almost feared

and deserved reputation by his discoveries and
writings: In Vienna | was interro.

1t is curious fact that one of the first cases
IN Georgia under the enforcement act was not
against the kuklux, but against some negro
0Ilclals. 1t appears that the British bark
trace, Captain Irvine, touched at the port of
Darien early last July, and while there several
OF me crew mutinied. The captain thereupon
mad them placed in irons, and afterward trans
lerr Se 10 inc city jail. Application was at once
made 70 Tunis G. Campbell, local magistrate
LOT a writ OF hdbedS corpus, and that official
not only granted the request, but went
iurther aud took possession of the Grace, placed
her IN charge OF several of his executive Off
GERS, and subjected the captain to various other
annoyances OF semi-legal character Com
plant OF conspiracy was accordingly made
against campbell and his men, and the case was
brought before United States Commissioner
Lee. The trial occupied some time and M.
tracted much attention, but the commissioner.
while censuring Campbell, held that the evil.
dence did not sustain the charge OF conspiracy,
as the crime is defined in the kuklux act, and
discharged him and his associates.

AMERICAN NEUTRALITY IN THE GERMAN
Warbler Wachenhusen points out in the
Cologne Gazette that Prince Bismarck could
easily have rendered Gambetta's leUee en- n,aSse
during the late war inuocuous of he had
thought it worth while, Or (which also is not
improbable,D if Prussian thrftiness had been
able to put its hand in its pocket" Mr.. Reming-
ton, the principal agent for the purchase of
arms employed by the Tours government, Or
dered, says Herr Wachenhusen, 100000 rifles
and about 75,0000 900 cartridges in America for
the use OF the new French army of the repub.
lie. These arms were purchased partly from
private firms, partly from the United States
government, which, Gin order to preserve a
show of neutrality" sold arms "to American
citizens without inQuiring about their destina-
ton, although neither the government nor any
one else in New York had any doubts on the
subject, and the arms were at once shipped di-
rect for France under their eyes" The arms
were to be sod by auction, but the sale was
postponed for fortnight at the request of Herr
Won Gerolt, the German ambassador, who tele-
graphcd to Prince Bismarck for authority to paw
the necessary deposit of twenty per cent,
which would suffice to shut up for time the
source on which Gambetta relied for arming his
new troops. "The princes reply arrived on the
18th of October, the day fixed for the sale.
Bismarck wrote that it was matter of indiffer.
ence to him who bought the arms and where
they went to- and he did not consider the con.
duct of the American government a violation of
neutrality. Two days after all the arms were
shipped for France. If the German chancellor
did not care where they went to, why should the
American government? Remington afterwards
sold TO France during the war 100 batteries
fully provided with ammunition, etc., and his
mandatory is now delivering to the French
government 1900 rifles day, as his contract does
not expire till next September. With these wea-
pons Gambetta armed the northern, western and
| southern armies. On the Loire the arms we
found were almost exclusively American, and
me hrst batteries of breech-loaders which Gen.
GAurelle de Paladines brought up against us at
Ooulmers were probably from Remington's
works. The American arms have not saved
France, but if the German chancellor had paid
| the deposit OF twenty per cent, Gambetta won Id
hardly have been able to arm new troops in adj
| dition to the army of the Loire, which. more
| over, would itself not have been ready" Herr
| Wachenhusen adds that Prince Bismarck evil
| IDENTIFY foresaw, when he determined not to stop
| the supply Of these arms to France, that he
| would get them cheaper on the Loire than in
| America-a calculation which will hardly be ap-
preciated by the wives and children of the Ger
man soldiers who persisted in the sanguinary bat
| ties round Orleans.

Some journals, quoting the figures from the
advance sheets of the tables of population of the
census just issued, moralize over the assumed
fact that the whole number of Indians in
the United States is less than half that of the
Chinese. The former, according to the census
number about $4,000 and the latter somewhat
more than 10000 This would be surprising, i
true; but in fact there are single tribes mort
numerous than the whole body of Indians &C
cording to these figures. The census enumera
ton only included the Indians in the state
and elsewhere who form part of white commu
mites. Besides these there are the numerous
tribes under the care Of Indian agents, number
ing about 100000, and the Indians of Alaska
estimated at about $1,000. 1t will be many
years before immigration gives us anything like
this number of Chinese, if it ever does so.
