A PRACTICAL IDEA.
A General Association for the Training
of Nurses.
IN. Y. Tribune.l

IN. Y. Tribune.l
At the recent meeting in PHILADELPHIA
of the National Social Science Associa
ton an important paper was read by DR.
John Packard on the training OF nurses
The first institution for this purpose
and probably the most complete in its
system and working in the country, is
that under Quaker rule in Philadelphia
1t Is self-sustaining SO far as the nurses
are concerned, while the charity il
large and widely extended toward pa
tients. The woman is helped at a mini
mum cost to means OF earning bel
livelihood, and then placed in the way
OF earning it. So much the world owes
to all its citizens, however much pOliti.
cal economists may question whether il
owes any more.
It is now proposed that there shall be
a general association for the training OF
nurses IN every large city, and a central
bureau OF administration. In New York
and Boston two years study is required
in New Haven, fifteen months in Phila-
delphia, one year. instruction is given
in the management OF ventilation, light
ing, temperature, the handling of the
patient, administration Of food, medi-
cine, etc, besides the treatment of OBJ
stetrical cases, and to certain extent
of especial diseases. All this by old
fashioned people was held to come by
nature to most women with families
while the fact was it seldom came at all

roine Of the popular novel, from Evan
geline down, invariably soothes her
woes by nursing in hospital, where
she as invariably meets her long lost
lover in a dying condition, probably,
indeed, because the nurses are all he
roines.
In old times women were Skillful doc
tors. The Guineveres and KoSaiDunds
had little else to do than to learn how
to physic Lancelot and his squire when
they came home hacked ana bleeding.
The skilled nursing of women, except
among the religious sisterhoods, came
into disrepute for many years until Miss
with her corps OF lady aids
displaced the male nurses. 1t is largely
owing to that lady's sound English
sense that study and practice are now
urged as requisites for the female nurse,
instead OF purely sentimental require
ments. The present scheme goes be-
yond Miss Nightingale's plans. and il
carried into effect will provide efficient
helps to the physician, in family life as
well as in the camp or hospital. The
trained nurse is only and al
ways the adjunct to the physician. The
most difficult and useful part Of her
is to learn what not to do

With g. thermometer grazing ninety,
and the air almost at standstill, it is
quite refreshing to read the advertise
ment columns OF the San Francisco
papers. There, in the month Of June,
very nearly on a parallel with US, land
lords invite tenants to their houses by
recommending them as being shot" or
"warm," or on the warm, sunny side
of the street." It reads almost like
romance to us here, and not disagree
able romance. II, in addition, one can
get hold of DIR. Kane's Arctic Expedi-
ton, we'll illustrated with MOUNTAINS OF
ice and snow. and an old sec6hd-class
thermometer, one completely out OF
order, that goes up when it ought to go
down, and rice Ue7'sd, a man OF imagina-
ton can easily keep cool. We will not
say how necessary that is to his health
it is more: it is moral duty. All the
crimes and offences committed nova
days, says the Rev. Mr.. Kingsley, and
in this he is backed up by half-a-dozen
doctors, are the result OF overhead, ex-
element, worry, etc. With persons OF
little imagination, the best treatment is
ice water and fans. These are surer
representatives. OF crime in summertime
than hordes of policemen, besides being
much more agreeable medicines to our
people than the MetrOpOlitans.

An individual OF this city is in search
OF Professor Vineyard and his nameless

in-law. He has thought OF nitro

other explosives, the effectiveness Of
every one Of which, howeve", involves
the courage Of Guy Fawkes and imme-
diate contact with the object to be eA-

A great many biographical sketches
of leading politicians are flying around !;
they always do just about convention
times One of these in the interest OF
candidate for the Vice Presidency goes
over the various services rendered the
country by the candidate, AS Congress-
man, Minister, etc, winding up with an
account of how the candidates father
in law entered the Revolutionary army
when mere boy OF sixteen. THAT

can come along with mother-in-law
who " fit in the Revolution" when

'Is there a w-lawyer about here ?"
asked reporter, trying to be witty, to
group OF lawyers seated in one Of the
district courts. Here is one, shouted
Sam NJ, who is reputed for his wit,
and has been known to lose sure case
rather than sacrifice joke. even at the
expense of his client Sam proceeded !:
Now, gentlemen, you may laugh as
much as you please at those COW cases,
but, notwithstanding the ridicule which
attaches to them, they not unfrequently
afford considerable field for the
display Of legal acumen. For in
stance: Very recently / was entrust-
ed with one of these cow cases by
a lady, lonely, poor widow, whose con-
dition and fair fee excited my sympa-
thies to such degree that / plunged
into the case with an earnestness and
vigor / scarcely thought / possessed.
The COW in question had fallen into a
pit up town, negligently left open by
the authorities, and she had broken her
neck in the fall / instituted .suit
against the city, and at the trial it was
made SO clear that the authorities had
been guilty Of the grossest negligence.
1t was generally conceded that the case
would be decided in my favor by the
Judge without hearing arguments or
leaving his bench. At the criti-
cal moment, however, the city at
torney brings in evidence against
our claim the incontrovertible fact that
the pit was on the dividing line OF the
that ttro-thirds of the cOlD had been killed
in the latter parish, and the demurrer
to the jurisdiction OF the court was sus-
tanned

It may not be untimely to call the at
tention of the Congressional Committee
to the necessity Of a wide and careful
distribution of the evidence it has taken
when it shall be in printed form. A
good deal Of the testimony will not then
appear, in some cases surely so insig-
nificant when it is coupled with the
documentary evidence on file. The ne
cessity of a careful distribution will be
manifest when it is said that the printed
copies OF the Durell investigation were
nearly all bought in or secured by some
hocus-pocus, by Durell's and Norton's
friends, as soon as it was printed. Even
to this day it is very difficult to obtain
one in this city, and the troubles Of
John F. Barrett, Jr., began here when
he lent copy, which ne had managed
to preserve, to the United States Grand
Jury.

What blessing it would be II the
newspapers had only a political "Old
Probabilities, to tell which way the
wind is blowing, etc. Suppose we of
New Orleans, after consulting our Their
mome:ers, should dogmatically declare
that it was hot, or even put it more en-
phatically, like Brother Beecher, and
then endeavor to force our weather on
the whole Union, what would the other
States say? Yet this is exactly what
has been occurring all over the country
for weeks. The state of the political
thermometer is highly Blaine, say the
Maine papers. 1--WE are now having a.
heavy spell of Norton" reply those of
the city of concentric circles, Indiana
polls. Every city loudly proclaims it's
political weather to be that of the whole
Union. Nothing can correct this but a
political Gen. Myers, to sit at Washing
ton, and issue daily circulars Of the con
ditiOn and prospects of the political
barometers. Light Morton winds,
south Blaine thunderstorm at Wash
ington. Prospects for the Southwest"
What are they? We should like to
know. Give us political "Old Probs."

CLASSIFICATION.

The market opened with moderate inquiry,
but the movement was checked by the unsatis-
claiming concessions, which factors were un-
willing to grant.
The business during the morning was conse-
quently limited, but later in the day pa ties came
together more freely and the sales summed up
the amount noted above.
All desirable kinds, including Che better de-
scriptions OF the lower grades az well as even
summing lists Of the medium and higher grades
were steady, but other descriptions, embracing
mixed lists Of the medium as well as OF the
poorer qualities continued irregular and easy. We
are consequently unable to lessen the wider
gauge given to our Quotations on Saturday. AS
. general thing, however. buyers failed to obtain
the concessions they claimed at the opening.
The dispatches were Ciscouraging, Liverpool
being reported quiet At previous rates, with sales
of 1000 bales, and arrivals quoted easier, and
New York 1-16c lower fpr spots and 3-3- @5-32 for
futures. On the other hand Foreign Exchange
ruled at an improvement Of about - u cent.
The Cotton Exchange will be closed tomorrow,
% well as the Exchangelat New York, and, we
presume, other exchanges.
The statement of the overland movement from
September to January 81, posted at the Elk
change this evening, makes the amount for
Warded direct to mills 173, 1856 bales, and the
quantity taken to spinners from the ports 49,
$50. This makes The spinners' takings GIL ,765
bales.
The Exchange makes the amount on ship
board not cleared before to.day's exports)
164, 1886 bales, embracing 7S,772f for Liverpool 80,
800 for Havre, 49, 4O6 for the North Sea, S767 for
Bremen, 1866 for spain, 224l for the Mediter1a-
mean, and 5155 for coastwlse ports, leaving in
presses, sgreeabiy to its account at II NJ.
2O9 159 bales. If we deduct from this the
amount sold, but not yet delivered, the balance
will be about $4,000 bales to represent the
quantity unsold, a large part Of which is with
held from the market, in transit or not yet sam
pied.
The Exchange reports: "Sales 10000 bales
Market steady" Its tales are made up from 8
