Educated Girls.

As timely to the opening Of the schools,
the New York Tribune explains a plan
which deserves note in Philadelphia: The
bows who finished their school course in
July are now beginning a new series of
college years, or entering. business, but the
girls-for most Of them the end of school
ing is the end of systematic study. Un-
less very favorably placed, the withdrawal
of the external stimulus is likely to be
followed by the pressure Of multitude Of
petty claims on time and attention, be-
fore which bright plans of reading and
study give way. Some such state of things
suggested to ladies in London, and by
their example to others in Boston, to es-
tablish a society to encourage studies at
home, and that in Boston has been in
quiet operation for about twenty months.
Its purpose is the inducing of girls to
form the habit Of devoting some part of
every day to study Of 9 systematic
and thorough kind; its mode of
operation is through the exercise
Of an oversight by experienced and
educated ladies over the home work
of younger ladies, and, this, of course,
mainly by means of correspondence. For
example, if girl Of seventeen Or over de-
sres to join the society, she gives her name
to the secretary, pays small initiation fee
to cover expenses of postage, printing, &C.,
and receives in return programme Of the
several courses open, in history, literature,
art, science, German, and French she Sc
lects the department of study which she
desires to pursue, and is put in communi-
cation with the member of the committee
who has charge Of the department. She
is expected to devote some portion Of
every dav or every week to careful reading
and study, order and system being SUBJ
stantial elements in the plan, and at least
once month to report progress to her Of
ficer, who, in return, gives advice, makes
suggestions, and encourages or stimulates
the student. Once year meeting is held
Of such az can come together, and gene
raj report is made, with special essays by
students, and diplomas are given. We do
not see, norcove, why the society should
not he copied indefinitely.

Forgery ~ . Countess.
A Paris letter to the London Daily Ners

A lady, who once cut a very great fig
ure in Parisian society, and whose salon
about the time of the Treaty Of ParA was
the constant rendezvous Of many diplo-
matists, has had long apd brilliant ca
reer ignominiously cut short BY the
Assise Court of Pau, which has found
her guilty of the mean crime Of robbing
her dying cook, and Of the legally more
serious one Of forging her signature after
her death. This adventures was known
at various times as Countess de Matignon,
Countess de Roux de Coincy, Countess de
Kersabiec, and Baroness de Saint Martin.
In reality che was never entitled to bear
any title. She was by birth Belgian,
named Marie Louise Forgeur, and the
widow of an obscure person named Bel
gofe. During the Empire she was several
times convicted of swindling, but owing
to mysterious protection she never under
went the sentences pronounced against
her.
With the empire her star paled. She
went to Pau in the autumn of 1869, ac-
companied by NJ. Martin, the son Of a
Paris agent de change. They put up at
the Hotel de France, the most expensive
hotel in the place and spent money enough
to get ready credit when they returned
,hither after the outbreak of the war in
1870. NJ. Martin was at that time
an invalid, and seldom appeared out Of
his room, but the lady succeeded in run
ming up heavy bills and borrowing money
in all directions. She, by plausible story
got 6,0o0f. from her physician, DIR. Names,
instead of paying her bill. But it was for
none of these things that she was prosecu-
ted. 1t was proved to the satisfaction of
! judge and jury that when her cook, an old
servant, named Catharine Gribaumont, was
Diving, and unable to speak, she rifed her
boxes, and took away a considerable sum
in gold, besides valuable securities. Not
contented with this, she forged paper re-
presenting the cook to be her debtor to
the extent Of $4,000 francs, and on the
strength of it sought to attach some prop
ertv which she knew the cook had left in
the hands of notary. When the forgery
was discovered she absconded, and it was
not till long afterwards that she was dis.
covered at Versailles and arrested, hel
companion, NJ. Martin, being in the mean.
while dead. A charge was made agains
her Of having poisoned the cook, whose
body was disinterrcd for examination; bu
decomposition had gone too far foranalysi:
to produce any results. Some evidence
was offered to the Judge of instruction
that the prisoner had been heard to say
Hemlock was very safe poison to use, bu
he did not see grounds to sustain the capi
tai charge, which was accordingly .aban
doned.
The Court sentenced the false countess te
ten years of that intermediate imprisonment
between simple confinement and hard labor
called "reclusion," which will not admit {
her being treated as frst-class misde
meanant.

Modern Medical Discovery.

It is claimed that disease, with a few exceptions, has been conquered by the research and intellect of enlightened men; and yet noted professor of New York admits that "of all sciences, medi- cine is the most uncertain," and that q thousands are annually slaughtered in the sick room" Certain "schools of m msdicine are in existence, one of which "makes the patient ill" in order to claim a cure; and another administers "sugar-coated bread pills, " relyingupon nature to effect her own cures. Dr. J. Walker, of California, an old and re- spected physician, tried both modes of treatment and both failed. He then ap- pealed to natures curative-herbs; and now enjoys rugged health. He has given the benefit of his discovery to the world, in the shape of Vinegar Bitters, and since it's introduction has sold a quantity almost large, enough to make small harbor, or to float the Great Eastern. Its curative properties are at tested by grateful thousands, @

Died Suddenly of Heart Disease.

How common is the announcement. Thou sands are suddenly swept into eternity by this fatal malady. This disease generally has its origin in impure blood filled with irritating poisonous materials, which, circulating through the heart irritate it's delicate tissues. Though the irritation may at first be only slight, pro- ducing little palpitation or irregular action, ordull, heavy, or sharp darting pains, yet by: and-by the disease becomes firmly seated, and inflammation or hypertrophy, or thicken1ng oi the lining membrane or of the valves, is pro duced. How wise to give early attention to g case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing ol pain in the region of the heart should ad- monish one that all is not right, and if you would preserve it from further disease, you must help it to beat rightly by the use of such remedy as will remove the cause of the trouble. Use Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery before the disease has become toe seated and it will, by it's great blood purifying and wonderful regulating properties, effect a perfect cure. It contains medicinal proper ties which act specially upon the tissues of the heart, bringing about a healthy action. Sold bY all frst-class druggists

Will Not Steal.

General Spinner, Treasurer of the United States, said to reporter: Yes, there has been money. stolen in the National Bank redemption agency. When Graves Graves is in -charge) found out he had thief with him, he carefully investigated and laid traps to catch him. He came to me one day and said he had clew. said: "Well, what is it?H He saidzhe suspected one or two women. I shook my head and said, e You are wrong. Awoman won f steal" Now I know they won't. They have not got the nerve. The reason why I prefer women as counters is because they won't steal ! If they do. steal. they won't take over one or two dollars, be cause, as I said before, they haven't got the nerve. If woman steals any larger amount you can make up your mud she has pal outside who is man.
