SEX IN SCIENCE. The question of sex in
the medical profession is not yet settled, and
probably never will be until it is arranged on
the principles Of justice and common sense.
The question of the education of women in
medicine is no longer an open one. People
may still discuss the prOpriety and the wisdom
of women studying medicine and surgery but
the fact is now beyond their grasp. There are
several respectable Medical Colleges devoted to
the education of women in this profession, and
it is Impossible for the strctest cOncave of
Galens to deny the fact that well trained and
accomplished doctors are coming out of them
every year. 1t is merely an exhibition of
puerile spite for the learned gentlemen to say
they will not recognize these ladies as practi-
TONERS 1t will not materially inure the wo-
men, doctors. Those who wish to employ them
will do so with all the more alacrity if their fa-
vOrites are thus made the object of a stupid
and illlberal prescription. If in a critical case,
where physician had refused to consult with
respectable female doctor the patient should
die with the sound of that refusal ringing in
the ears of survivors, it requires no gift of
prophecy to tell us on which side will be the
gratitude and on which side the resentment
1t is this question, whether they shall bru
tally adhere TO a nOldy tradition, to the disad
vantage of the profession and the danger of the
sick, or GRACEFUL admit what every body knows
that there are ladies qualified to practice
medicine in a reputable and successful way.
When they have done that, they can 5etake
themselves with the more vigOr to the extirps-
/ ton of Clarlatanry in all its branches-N. T.

FLOWERS AND CHILDREN.-ln an article In
the May number of Art or the influence of
toys in educating and forming the tastes Of
children, Blanchard Jerrold writes charmingly
on the subject of flowers. He says: 4" | would

open balconies for the baby scholars where,

WHAT IS A LIE?-There are purists who
maintain that all deception, every attempt to
miSead or TO put upon false scent, is a lie
that every act of domestic strategy comes under
this denomination, and is therefore a lie but
this will not hold. Lies have to do with words
Birds and beasts are often cunning deceivers
but to lie is strictly human The lips speak
guile, the hand indites it. To enlarge the field
of lying is virtually to tolerate it, In seeming
to be more strict VIC become less so. The per-
son who argues that Lord Chesterfield man of
the world, who~accosts with smiles, men whom
he would much rather meet with swords, is a
liar opens the f1oodgates TO verbal falsehoods
We cannot do without some polite dissmulation
OF expression; we do not allow ourselves the
luxury OF babbling countenances, but prefer to
keep our thoughts to ourselves. If this is
lying, as well be hanged for a sheep as for
lamb, and lie loudly and persistenty whenever
1t SUITS u.s. Ut course we much prefer a coun
tenance that tells US the mind behind it to one
that cOnceals it,. but this does not hinder the
frankest from the occasional necessary decep-
ton Of blandness and smiles No doubt Hor-
ners honest face, which had all the COM
mandments written on it, was equal to this
degree of untruth Nor can we be less lenient
to the innocent wiles and subterfugcs of gayety
When melancholy had her look.
Then mirth was in her heart
Hypocrisy may indeed be a course of lying, but
not necessarily through deliberate, spoken false
hood. NJ Vambrey gives it as his opinion
that the DerviSe's cloak is the ne plus ultra OF
hypOcrSy-a patchwork of Jagged rags, tacked
together with pack thread without and often
lined with rich silk whitman acted falsehood
yet it would serve the wearer little if his
tongue were not ready on all occasions to back
| it.

battle between two swarms of bees few days
ago. One swarm he says, took fOrcible posses

attacked defended their rights, furious fight
commenced, and the battle ragged from 4. 80 to
9P. NJ. Next morning, as the sun appeared,
the battle was resumed, the marauders ap-
pearing not in good condition, yet showing
great pluck The carnage continued without

SOMETHING ABOUT TEETH Why do some
peoples teeth come out more rapidly than
others The reasons for this are probably
many. About the middle of the last century
Peter Kahn, a Swede, visited America, and
wrote sensibly about what he saw. He OBJ
served frequent loss of teeth among settlers
from Europe, especially women. After dis
cussing and rejecting many modes of explana-
ton, he attributed it to hot tea and other hot
beverages; and come to a general conclusion
that =" hot feeders loose their teeth more readi-
ly than cold feeders" Mr.. CatIin who some
years ago had an interesting exhibition of In
dian scenery, dresses weapons, &C., noticed
that North American Indians have better teeth
than the whites He accounts for the differ
ence in this strange way, that the reds keep the
mouth shut, where the whites keep theirs
open. The teeth, he says, require moiS-
ture to keep their surfaces in good work
ing order; when the mouth is open, the mu-
cous membrane has tendency to dry up, the
teeth loose their needed supply of moisture,
and thence come discolOratiOn, tOOthache, tic
dOulOureux, decay, oOseness and eventually.
loss of teeth Mr. Catn scolds the human
race generally for being less sensible than the
brutes in this respect, and the white race es-
specially in comparison with the red We keep
our mouths open far to much the Indian
warrior sleeps, hunts and smiles with his
mouth shut, and respires through his nostrils
Among the virtues attributed by him to closed
lips, one is excellent-when you are angry,
keep your mouth shut Chambers Journal

AN OPINIoN.-A Western paper evidently
does not believe in prize-fghting. OF the late
affair it says: The mistake made by the Sher-
if in Canada was in not firing first and reading
might have saved his own watch and money,
and at the same time performed an act of in
ternational courtesy, which would have been
deeply appreciated on this side"

ATTACK ON THE LEGISLATURE.

AS Governor Warmoth has kept himself
remarkably cool and collected since the
Legislature adjourned, and as he is now
broadly traduced for actions committed
during his administration, it must be
plain that what he has done to give
offense to his Republican friends must
have been committed before or during the
last Legislature; and since this is the con-
clusion to which all reasonable men must
come, is it not plain that every attack
upon the Governor is an attack upon the
Legislature? If he has done wrong, the
Legislature has assumed his ofenses by
allowing them to pass without censure
The laws which he is said to abuse were
passed with the approval ofthe Lieutenant
Governor. The power which he possesses
was voted to him by the friends Of the
Lieutenant Governor. And though his
annual message recommended modiica-
ton of the election, registration and
printing laws, the Legislature refused to
accept the suggestion, and perslstentIy
asserted that he should be continued on
duty with extraordinary authority. As
the Legislature did all this, and as the
Lieutenant Governor helped to doit, why
does he not tear his own hair as the au-
thor of his own misery? Why do his
friends hammer away at the Governor,
when they should be hammering. them
selves and the Legislature? And why
does not the Legislature generously step
in and assume the responsibility of its
own actions? Or if it does not feel in
the heroic mood, why does it not put on
the air of authority, and say to the
troubled waters, ''Peace, be still?"

AN ANALYSIS INVITED,

In the voluminous letter which the
solid and dignifed Lieutenant Governor
Dunn, Of Louisiana, writes to the great
and useful Editor Greeley, Of Nebraska
andi Texas, the literary chemist will not
fail to find matter which will fully satisfy
him that the production had composite
parentage. One part Of the document is
ponderous, after the manner of the reputed
author; another part is malicious and per-
sonal, after the style of Carter; and the
third division partakes Of a nature some
what democratic in its conception. Where
Mr.. Dunn supposititiously perambulates,
perhaps his own pen did the work !;
where he presumptively fagellates, it
seems that the work of revivalist preach
er is discoverable, and where be hypothet-
ically ventilates, the odor of a disappointed
contractor salutes the attention. 1t will
afford the student of curious literature an
entertaining job to dissect the letter which
the Lieutenant Governor writes to, the
editor, and as the article is fresh, the anat-
omist will be all the more successful in
discovering its constituent elements. A
resume of the post mortem examination
will discover, if we are not mistaken, that
three men wrote the production, and that
each one of these men is gifted with his
own particular reason for disliking Gov
ernor Warmoth. Perhaps all of them have
been refused some favor. Perhaps all of
them have some point to make against the
people which the Governor intercepts, and
perhaps theinquest which is now invited
will discover all and singular their personal
reasons why political letter was written.

SEPTEMBER s, 1871.

Although the effects Of the Persian famine
may have been somewhat exaggerated,
there is every reason to believe that the
sufferings and deaths from hunger in that
country have been, and are, fearful. In the
city of Ispahan alone q 600 Of the popula-
ton have died from want of food. This
fact would lead us to place credence in the
report that in some of the provinces nearly
cause of the famine is found in the fact that
the food crops failed in one section of the
country at time when nearly all the other
agricultural regions were devoted to the
cultivation Of cotton.

cepting as honest and reliable that which
better posted people detect at once as in
correct and unreasonable. The tele-
graph is worthless asa reporter of proba-
bilities, for, as general rule, it is
too cheaply managed to be entitled to re-
spect for the conclusions of its servants.
Very few men of brains manipulate the
press dispatches, and therefore what comes
to us from Europe as the probable course
of State craft is wholly unreliable, since it
is merely the outgiving of man who has
nothing to recommend him as statesman
or a politician. 1t was with full knowl-
edge of this inferiority on the part of the
agents of the telegraph that we discounte-
nanced the reported coalition Of Russia
and France against Germany and Austria.
1t did not come through legitimate sources
and was not founded on reasonable sug-
gestions. There was no cause, that the
outside world could discover, why Russia
and Prussia should draw the sword against
each other after having been friendly SO
long, and until the telegraph reporter gave
a reason for the quarrel which he an
nounced the REPUBLICAN refused to be-
heve. in the quarrel. The. news from
Europe at present justifes our disbelief.
Russia has assumed no unpleasant attitude
toward Germany, but, on the contrary,
has sought to assist in promoting har
mony between that power and Austria con-
corning some Roumanian dispute. And
in every other respect the condition Of
Europe is quiet.
New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1871-09-06
THE TELEGRAPH AND THE NEWS.

As was indicated in these columns two
weeks ago, the danger that threatened
Central Europe from the combined attack
of Russia and France has disappeared
by the disavowal Of the Car of any such
hostile intention. 1t is the misfortune of
the newspaper press that many of its
editors accept the reports of the telegraph
as reliable, when, in fact, they are merely
the sensational outgivings of stupid re-
porters, or the canards of brokers who
have bought the agents of the telegraph.
An acquaintance of many years with the
workings of the Associated Press enables
us to guard against being 1nisled by these
crazy or fraudulent dispatches. There are
hundreds of reporters employed in the
collection of news in various parts of the
world, and some Of these men are very
self-important individuals, always ready
to be sensational and notorious, and
frequently ready to sell their services to
any speculation. "A piece of bad news,
rapidly and boldly circulated, has been
known to affect the money market
most disastrously and unscrupu-
'lous brokers are ever ready to
use this manner of falsehood to obtain
an advantage in their business transac-
tons. The telegraph had been filled
with dispatches about the renewal of I'M
friendly relations between Germany and
France until the public would believe
nothing about the matter. Then it had
sought to unsettle the money market by
duplicating France in a Quixotic design
to restore the Pope. And as last resort.
the meeting Of the Emperors of Austria
and Prussia was made the occasion for
originating a coalition which was to pro-
yoke a war with Russia. All these dis
patches were either the vain conclusions
of stupid reporters, anxious to make
themselves notorious, or they were the
wells paid forfraudssof stock spectators.
The telegraph was used as piece of
pinchbeck jewellery to array some fool as
the oracle of the hour, or it was sold to
the brokers, in order that the money
changers might be frightened into selling
valuable stocks, in view of a general
European war. Some newspaper men do
not appreciate this contingency of stupid
ity or fraud, and are thus misled into &C.
