THE EDUCATION OF THE SEXES.

Professor Gum, OF the Medical College for
Women, delivered lecture last evening before
the Liberal Club. His subject was "Tne Education
OF the Sexes" The lecture presented nothing
new as an argument against the existing defects
and abuses OF our present systems OF education,
and the Improvements the lecturer pro-
posed have been time and again suggested
by every "liberal'' lecturer who has taken the
education OF women Tor his text. Still the
lecture was an interesting one. Although there
were many young girls present IN the audience
the Professor dealt plainly ana without any cir
cumlocuton with matters ana things which are
seldom, and even then very dehcately, touched
upon In lectures to mixed audience OF both
sexes. DR.. Gum contrasted the different way
IN which boys and girls are brought up, and de-
nounced the fashions OF Dress which created such
deformity in women and often rendered their lives
q waste and burden.

astronomers? Did 1t occur again In 1S74,n &c.

that subsequent reports from all or most OF the
expeditions will determine that the .sblack dropn
mentioned is thing more or less than the satel-

and 1886. In the Memoirs OF the Academy
OF Berlin for 1873 will found the result OF obser-

Mr. MOntagne In 1760 gave a detailed account OF
the satellite. Very many astronomers OF great
note at the period named confirmed the fact Of Its
