Women in Our Colleges.

Prof. Tyler, of Michigan University,
which threw open its doors to tho admis.
sion of women in 1870, in recent erti.
Gle, says
According to the most recent returns,
III of that sex are now availing them.
selves of the right to university instruc.
tion thus recognized. In the distribution
which they have made of themselves
among the several departments. there is
no little signi6cance-four of them have
chosen the law, forty.seven medicine. and
sixty.six literature and science. Before
1870 there were several colleges in
America which had adopted the system
of co.education but all of these had
adopted that system from the beginning.
Michigan is the first university which,
having begun its life and attained emi.
nent success upon tho exclusive system,
then deliberately incorporated upon itself
the new and more comprehensive plan
The resolution was by no means hssty
one, or taken with much cheerfulness 1t
had been under consideration for twenty
years, and when adopted at last, it was
adopted with no little anxiety. Our ex.
perience of FIVE years has, think, con.
vinced everybody here that this anxiety
was not well founded. Neither good or.
der nor the scholarship of the university
has suffered any harm from the presence
of ladies in its class-rooms, while the ply.
sical disasters to the women themselves,
which an eminent medical authority has
oflate clearly demonstrated to be the penal
consequences of feminine toll at tho dry
and arduous tasks of university study,
have thus far strangely failed to make
their appearance in this neighborhood
Indeed, the ladies here seem to thrive lu.'
dicrously well under the rugged regimen
to which they have been put; and their
omission to verify the predictions Of an a
Driori alarm is something bordering upo n
the cruel. A benevolent mind observing
theee .hiaes sAn hardly do loco 'h@n uttor
word of kindly caution to oil persons
who still desire to take unalloyed comfort
in tho doctrine that women are not fit for
universities, or that universities are not
ct for women.

A young man of brilliant talents was
admitted to the bar in the northern part
Of the state. Being very successful as an
advocate he was admitted also to partner
ship with one of tho leading lawyers of the
state. His counsel was sought by many
10 difficult cases. He was sure to win the
jury, if ho could bc kept sober. One
employing him must stay BY him night
and day to deal out limited quantities of
brandy, never leaving him to himself.
Cannot the downward course Of such q
life be anticipated Sunk to the lowest
strata of society, he married a disreputa-
BILE woman, who. however. was kind and
faithful to him for long time in his
greatest extremities. At length her for.
bearance came to be too great a virtue
and he was left alone. One morning a

Pints and quarts Of filthy Catarrhal dis
charges, Where does it all come from? The
mucous membrane which lines the chambers
of the nose, and its little glands, are diseased,
so that they draw from the blood its liquid,
and exposure to the air changes it into cor
ruptiOn. This life liqnid is needed to build
up the system, but it is extracted, and the
system is weakened by the loss. To cure,
gain flesh and strength by using DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, which also acts
directly upon these glands, correcting them
and apply DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy with
DR.. Pierce's Nasal DOuehe, the only method
of reaching the upper cavities, where the
discharge accommodates and comes from. The

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are SCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP, SCHENCE's SEA
WEED Tonic and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
and If taken before the lungs destroyed, speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. J. Fl. Schencks Of
Philadelphia, owes his unriVRlled success in the
treatment Of pulmonary diseases
The PulmOnic Syrup npens the morbid matter in
the lungs nature throws it of by an easy exPectO-
ration for when the phlegm or matter is ripe slight
cough win throw it OF, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the PulmOniC Syrup to do this SChenek's
Mandrake Pills and SChenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
SChenCk's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkah Of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents SQUIRTING. 1t as
sists the digestion by tOning up the stomach to a
healthy condition. so that the food and the PulmOu-
ic Syrup will make good blOsd then the lungs heal
and the patient will surely get well if care is taken
to prevent fresh cold
All who wish to consult DR.. SchenCk, either per-
sOnally or by letter, do at his principal Office

zr4RYELOUs OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.


The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says !:
The phenomena attending the storm
which passed through st. Charles last
Sunday leave no doubt as to its true
character. 1t was one Of those terrific
meteors with complex motion, progress
sive as we'll as rotary, having the fury Of
a great tornado condensed into track
of a few hundred feet broad. The mete-
or, revolving on its own axis, made the
wind appear to come from different d.
rections, and 50 strewed the''debrisindiEer-
emily in every quarter. This popularity
Of these aerial commissions has boen no
ticed in many storms of this description,
and forms characteristic by which they
may be easily identified. The appear
ance of the cloud, the rapidity of its pas
sage, and the column of water which it
is said to have raised from the Mississippi
river while crossing, all serve as addi-
tional distinguishing traits by which the
character of the phenomena is recognized.
On the ocean it would have been wa
terspout; on land its tremendous power
was apparently stimulated by resistance,
and it played with the works of man as
with the leaves of the forest. A great
many fantastic tricks have been per-
formed by meteOrs of this kind; but the
st. Charles phenomenon falls behind
none of them. The single feat of pluck
ing away the walls of the Jail and leav-
ing the cage and the cells st nding intact
will compare favOrably in marvellous
ness with any incident ever narrated of
the freaks of the whirlwind. Trees have
been stripped of their leaves and bark,
houses have been Quilted and left stand
ing, and thirty-tOn engines have been
blown from the tracks where they stood,
but nothing stranger than this st.
Charles Jail feat has ever been recorded
of meteor. 1t is too early yet to de-
eide whether the same storm leaped into
Indiana and passed through POtaka and
Princeton, but 1t Is by no means I'M
probable that such is the fact. A me-
teor of this kind often appears to re-
bound from the earth and pass through
the air for miles before again touching
the ground. 1t may be that our Mis-
souri, storm took a mighty bound of this
kind and came to earth again in Indiana,
but the evidence to prove this is still
lacking. All things show it to have
been of tremendous power and capable
of doing almost incalculable mischief. A
tornado of this size and violence, passing
up Fourth street for a mile, would de-
strOy $40, 600, 900 worth of property in
ten minutes, and prove more disastrous
than the greatest fire that has ever Wis
tied the city.

DRINKING WATER.

DIR. Hall is opposed to the immOderate
drinking of water. He says: The longer
one puts off drinking water in the morn
ing, especially in the summer, the less
he will require during the day; ifmuch
is drank during the forenoon, tho thirst
often increases and a very unpleasant
fuIlness is observed, in addition to a
metallic taste in the mouth. The less
a man drinks the better for him, beyond
a moderate amount. The more water q
man drinks the more strength he has to
expend in getting rid of it, for all the
fluid taken into the system must be car
ried out; and there is but little nourish-
ment in water, tea, coffee, beer and the
like; more strength is expended in car
rying them out of the system than they
impart to it. The more a man drinks
the more he must perspire, either by the
lungs or through the skin; the more he
perspires the more carbon is taken from
the system; but this carbon is necessary
for nutrition-hence, the less man is
nourished the less strength he has.
Drinking water largely diminishes the
strength in two ways, and yet many are
under the impression that the more wa
ter swallowed the more thoroughly is the
system washed out" Thus the less we
drink at meals, the better for us, If the
amount were limited to single cup of
hot tea or hot milk and water at each
meal, an Unreasonable good would re-
suit to all, Many persons have fallen
into the practice Of drinking several
glasses of cold water, or several cups Of
hot tea or coffee, at meals, out of mere
habit; all such will be greatly benefited
by breaking it up at once, 1t may be
very wen to drink little at each meal,
and perhaps it win be found that in all
cases It is much better to take single
cup of hot tea at each meal than glass
of cold water, however pure.

The same spirit that was shown through
Out the country at the time Of the Chicago
fire. the same generosity that followed up
the Boston fire and upon the Memphis
calamity, and at other times in recent his
tory, is being shown now in this city in
behalf of the women of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, who have been
brought to the verge OF starvation and to
actual death by the petty economy of the
Democratic leaders who starve women for
party capital. 1t is commentary upon
their acts and timely warning to them, as
it is rebuke, that the people have come to
the aid Of these suffering women and put
them under their own protection. 1t is the
same glorious spirit that poured out its
treasure to relieve Chicago and Boston and
Memphis that casts its shield around these
poor women. 1t is pride tc American
citizenship to know that such a spirit ex-
lists, and is as hearty aud sincere as i: is.
Humanity is ennobled by such acts OF genu-
iue generosity. Since the day that THE
REPU8LICAN called attention to the state of
misery existing among these unfortunate
women laborers of the Government, the
offers of relief have poured in from every
side, and spectacle is now afforded the
country which, in the name of decency, we
trust to never see repeated, namely, private
enterprise giving public benefits and aid to
the employees of the United States Gov
