Abuse OF THE DIsTRIcr.-The unanimous

plimentary recognition of public service worthy
special record. This gentleman, animated BY
an honorable ambition, has done work under
circumstances that would have DISCOURAGED q
man not possessed Of bis high courage and in
d0mitable will. Not the least Of these has been
the torrent Of personal abuse poured on his I'M
prote cted head by the press Of the United States
We say unprotected, for our unhappy District 10
without the political influence that comes OF
votes upcer which most leaders may find ehel.
ter. For example, We have seen the press of
New York devote columns to our city while not
daring to utter . word against the corruptions
1t home. And this Is the same Of almost every
other municipal corporation In the country. No
falsehood has been too gr0es for publication.
And no falsehood, however hbelous, could ind
correction or even contradiction. And yet We
can say In the end. We have said In the begin.
ming, We have done more work Of better sort,
for less money and in ahortsr time, than can
be found in any part Of the country; and more,
We can show greater work than any part Of the
world.-CaPisai.

FEMALE PHYSICIANS.
Proof that Women are adapted 10
the Healing Art.

IN. Y. Correspondence of the Cincinnati
Commercially
The question of female doctors has got
beyond the stage of discussion in New
York, and has become one of the great
facts of the medical profession. We have
three female medical colleges, in which,
at this time, some two hundred lady stu
dents are preparing for professional lite.
The course of study in all of them is ac-
cording to the established system in med
ical colleges. | know that some of the
professors, male and female, are learned
and capable medical teachers; and l
know that the examinations for diplo-
mas are conducted in arigorous and me-
thodical way. / have before me ca
talogue of Homeopathic physicians in
New York and Brooklyn, in which | find
the names of twenty lady practitioners;
and if to these we add those who adhere
to Allopathy, or other systems, We shall
find not less than fifty lady doctors here,
in regular practice, some of them being
expert in surgery as well as in medicine.
Many of them are exceedingly success
full, and derive handsome incomes from
the profession-several going as high as
ten thousand a year or more. 1t is abb
surd to say that women are incapacitated
for the medical profession. They GER
tainly practice it in this place.
Not long ago was witness to the re-
markable skill of lady doctor in pc
cuIiarly difficult case. The patient him
self was member of the medical frater-
nifty, afflicted with a complication of dam
gerous diseases. He was attended by
three of the most distinguished practi-
TONERS of the regular faculty in Ameri-
ca, who after exercising all their powers
upon the patient, gave him up, and pro-
nounced his recovery impossible, and his
speedy death inevitable. Under these
circumstances he was visited by lady
doctor of his acquaintance, who, learning
he had been given up, took his case in
hand, brought him through, and COM
pletely restored his health in few weeks
So far as / know, all the lady doctors here
refuse to take male patients, and confne
their practice to their own sex. know
Of two lady practitioners, however, in
other localities who take all patients that
come, regardless of sex, color or previ-
Gus condition.

men and Women.

Men love things, as facts, possessions
and estates, and women, persons; and
while man regards only abstract scien-
tific acts, woman looks only at the per-
son in whom they are embodied. Even
in childhood the little girl loves an im-
itation of humanity, her doll, and works
for it; the boy gets hobby-horse or tools,
and works with them. But the noblest
quality wherewith nature has endowed
women for the good of the world is love
that love which seeks no sympathy
and no return The child is the object
of love, and kisses, and watching. and an
swers them only by complaint and anger;
and the feeble creature that requires the
most repays the least But the mother
goes on; her love only grows stronger the
greater the need and unthankfulness of
its object; and while the father prefers
the strongest of their children, the mother
feels more love for the feeble and querru-
lous

Gardening for Ladies.
Julia Coleman, in the Ladies Floral
Cabinet, writes thus enthusiastically in
plea for outdoor exercise for the ladies:
81 know one lady whose sensible doc
tor told her, twenty years ago, that she
was half gone with consumption, and
that her only chance of life was to be in
the open air az much as possible. And a
perfect bower of paradise was her little
yard. Was the soil poor? She enriched
it. Were her varieties Indifferent? She
procured better. Nearly all her flowers
were fragrant. Fifteen kinds of roses
bloomed under her hands, and a success
sion of flowers filled out the summer
Peaches, plums and raspberries we're
trained en- espelier, and choice squashes
ripened on the roofs OF the out-houses.-
Tomatoes we're trained to single poles
and yielded luxuriantly; and ruby straw
berries peeped out even from the grass.
She, herself, looked as fresh and vigor-
GUS as you could expect one to be whose
half decayed lung had left her with in
sufficient vitality. But her life was saw
ed, and the garden has been happiness
to herself and blessing TO others"
All kinds of poultry and meat can be
cooked quicker by adding to the water in
which they are boiled, little vinegar or
a piece of lemon. BY the use of an acid
there will be a considerable saving of
fuel, as well as shortening of time. It's
action is beneficial on old, tough meats,
rendering them quite tender and easy of
digestion. Tainted meats and fowls will
lose their bad taste and odor if cooked in
this way, and if not used too freely on
taste of it will be acquired.-House-

his name was heard no more. But

to meet her; but others said he had
