THE FORECLOSURE SUIT AGAINST THE
NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILR0AD.-Eliiah
MYERS, holder of $l6, 600 Of tho original
issue of the seven-thirty bonds OF the
Northern Pacific Railroad, has brought
suit to fOrclOse the mortgage. The de-
PENDANTS arc tho Railroad Company, and
,Jay Cooke and VIM. b. Ogden, the trus-
tees OF the mortgage. The plalntiff al
leges that under the trust deed they are
required in default Of payment of inter-
est, to notify the company and then on
ter on the lands, and after six weeks
notice lsell the lands for tho benefit OF
the bOndhOlders; that default has been
made in tho last January and duly in
terests, but that the trustees have not
acted under the deed. Ho further al
leges that some time ago the directors re-
solved to- issue no more seven thirty
bends under this mortgage, nor any
bonds bearing any higher interest than
six per cent, but that since there have
been issued more seven-thirty bonds
and the issue of still more is imminent.
He claims that all such bonds are not
projected by the mortgage. He further
alleges that the lands are liable to taxes
which the corporation cannot pay, thus
endangering the whole security. He
asks an order that the trustees go on and
take the proper steps to possess them
selves of and sell the lands for the bene-
fit Of the holders of the seven thirty
bonds issued before 1874 only, that the
present trustees be removed, and the
company restrained from issuing any
further iseven.thirty bOnds.-J0tWnal Of

FEMALE pHYsICIANs.-Femalep physicians
are said to be increasing i'll popularity III
England, The Saturday Roview asserted
that women do not wish to be attended by
women; but this has called forth strong
testimony to the contrary. A medical
practitioner writes 10 the London TIMES
that the women OF the lower classes are
overwhelmingly in favor of physicians OF
their own sax, although tho upper and
middle class 3 still distrust them. Tho letter
says that .'in tho only hospital i'll London
where women can bo attended by female
physicians the influx of patients Is so great
that to prevent tho work ilom becoming

profession is ono for which women have
