DISSEMINATION AGAINST WOMAN. The
National Standard of New York has a leading
article of nearly three columns in relation to the
proscrptive action of the medical board of New
York. 1t is of interest to many in this city from
the fact that its unjust discrimination was ex-
ercised against native of Worcester, lady of
great perseverance and with rare qualifications
Tor her professional duties. DR.. Mary J. Stud
ley, recent graduate of the Woman's medical
college of the New York infrmary, was
very DESTROYS to secure an appointment in
a public hospital, and offered herself for
for competitive examination, which is very
rigid, as the chances are few in comparison
with the number of applicants. After many
discouragements and rehutfs she was allowed to
appear and as the result of the examination
the lady was pronounced third on the list of five
successful candidates, number, one
woman and twelve men. When this list was re-
ported to the medical board, that conservative
body held an animated discussion on the pro-
priety OF giving woman the appointment.
There was no doubt of her professional OF
general intelligence or practical ability, but
only as to the propnety of Il lady being in gen
eral practice in public hospital. They seem
to assume that it would not be proper for her TO
treat the diseases of both sexes that young
man might treat; only such as The convention
alIties of society make proper for the ornamen-
tai lady. The oath of office that she would
take requires her to shrink from no medical ser
vice. portion Of the board held that it was
unjust and inconsistent not to give her the ap.
pontment she had fairly earned but they final
ly substituted the sixth name in place of the
third, and put in the name of gentleman of
inferior qualifications.
In the foreign hospitals women have an equal
chance, and it is a shame that ambitious CONF
petent women must leave their own country to
get the necessary practice "The justice of eX-
Guiding woman from the medical staff of a
hospital which contains feminine patients and
feminine nurses does not seem quite clear"
We wish DIR. Studley the success that follows
intelligent effort, and congratulate her on the
fact, that the discussion Of her case makes it
more possible for success in the future to any
equally deserving woman.

Sun.StrOkes.

There were fifteen cases of sun-stroke
yesterday, of which three are known to
have been fatal. In addition to those
mentioned in yesterdays LEDGER there
were the following: Mr.. Edward Raynor,
residing on Main street, near Poplar,
was overcome by the heat about three
o'clock in the afternoon, and died be-
fore medical aid could reach him. He
was about forty years old, and leaves a
wife and one child. Mr.. Jacob Gruber,
groceryman, corner of Third and Com
merce streets, was attacked by the heat
at one D. m, and died in few moments.
He was young man about twenty-three
years old. Mr.. Theodore Mas we'll
known butcher, was attacked while sit
ting in front of his shop, foot Of Jeffer-
son street. Hewas removed to his resi-
dence in Chelsea, where he is recover
ing. Mr.. VIM. Buchanan, while walk
ing along Main street, was overcome by
the heat, and fell in front of DR.. Minors
drug store. Prompt medical attendance
revived him, so as to admit Of his being
taken home. A Mrs. Gels was prostra-
ted while walking near the Beal street
market. She was conveyed home in a
carriage. A son of Councilman Marks,
laborer named Burns, an employe of
the Water Company, and an urmless
beggar, were also stricken during the
day, but recovered under prompt and
careful treatment.

Great holiness. Tomorrow is election
day. Court Square concert Friday night.
The City Council meets this day week.
Our streets are not much crowded these
hot days. Blessed be the ice man. Flee
tioneering goes bravely on to-day. The
street in front Of the LEDGER office looks
neat and clean this morning, thanks to
the chain-gang. Kentucky votes next
after North Carolira-Monday, August
9th. Cotton bolls will soon be plentiful
now; we have some on our desk nearly
ready to pick. The local election ex-
citement will eliminate tomorrow; it is
at fever heat to-day. The Recorders
docket couldn't fdrnish an interesting
item this morning. People have gotten
so used to the depredations of goats and
hogs that they have pretty much quit
complaining. The mortality in this city
has been greater the last few days than
ever before, except during the preva-
lence Of an epidemic. Hotel registers
are slim and business is generally dull,
Cornering" in chickens and eggs is q
feature of the Memphis market. Water
melons ought to be cheap; this sort of
weather is very favorable to their growth.
The patriots should rise early tomorrow
morning and be ready to vote before
they have been too much importuned by
rival aspirants. Scratch your ticket
as much as you please, so you vote for
me" is the way some of the candidates

The PoLITIcAL PRosPECT. - Colonel
John H. Male, of this city, who com
manded the fist Illinois regiment sta
toned here during the war, returned
yesterday from trip to his old home
near Decatur. He reports the Greeley
movement sweeping everything before it
like an avalanche in that State, and con-
siders it certain that Greeley and Brown
and the Liberal ticket will carry that
State by large majority in November
He says the Greeley men there are en-
thusiastic, while the Grant men are
lukewarm or Indifferent.

With the approach of every local cleo
ton the crops of Colonies and
majors" increase. Occasionally the
appellation Of Captain startles you,
but the titles "Lieutenant" and Mister
have long since passed out of existence;
they were killed during the war with all
the privates. Candidates have a weak
ness for calling everybody " Colonel,
especially those whose names they have
in some way forgotten or never knew.
The practice of inficting titles is for the
sole purpose Of Aattery, and is fash
ionable but shallow folly. If you believe
all you hear there must be at least
twenty thousand "Colonels " in Mem
phis. The tomfoolery" Of calling all
men Colonies is becoming Nuisance.
In many instances the appellation is
properly applied, but in the great ma
jority of cases, those whom they insist
on Coloneling never heard the whistle OF
bullet and never saw field of battle,
except from the window of a railroad
car, and that many years after the close
of the war. To put good, substantial
citizens in the stocks and pelt them with
titles is a criminal ohense. 1t may be
true that there are few who like this
patent style of giving title, chaps
who would like to be called Colonies, yet
who would make poor soldiers. AS
there seems to be no abatement of this
nuisance, it is well enough to notice its
existence, and especially as we have to
recognize the existence OF the Colonel"

This morning a Mr.. Kelley, we'll known
as a chicken peddier, was found dead in
his yard on Third street, between Con
cord and Overton. Kelley had been sick
for several days, and made his bed in the
yard to keep cool. Squire Spelman held
an inquest, and verdict was returned
OF death from an overdose of laudanum
administered by himself.
About the same hour Dr.. L. Brands
was found dead in his bed at the Seibert
House, on Adams street. An inquest
was held and verdict of death from con-
gestion, Superinduced by the heat, was
returned. He had been drinking good

Several colored laborers were reported

morning from the effects of sun, but we

Bank SuspendeSi. .

The City Bank, on Madison street, S.
II. Tobey, President suspended this
morning, an event not unexpected in
financial circles. The list ofdepositors of
the bank was small, and the impression
prevails that only few people, compare
lively, will suffer loss. The liabilities
are stated at $500 assets unknown.
The depositors we're generally personal
friends of Mr.. Tobey, aud for some time
past have been depositing very lightly.
A receiver will be appointed to take
charge of the assets of the bank aud a
statement will be published in due time.
