Congressional Control of Federal
Appointments.

Members of Congress go to Wash
ington under a mortgage of all the
Federal appointments in their dis
tricts to men whom they know to be
incompetent or personally dishonest; ;
to men whose sole recommendation
is that they can pack nominating
conventions, intimidate opposition,
stuff ballot boxes, forge election re-
turns, and generally make elections
utterly corrupt. tits a striking illus
tration of this system that of all the
Federal revenue officers in the State
of Illinois appointed by the Senators
and Representatives in Congress,
more than half of them are now un-
der conviction of official crime, or
under indictment, or are fugitives in
foreign countries, or have been dis
missed for unfitness. These men,
bers of Congress when elected take
their pledges to Washington and sub
nit them to the President, and de-
mand that he redeem them, and
threaten him that if he dare to nomi-
nate any other persons, they will ap
peal to the Senate and have the nomi-
nation rejected! The President has
no alternative but to submit. The
Senate stands combined in solid pha
lanX for the preservation of the com
mon usurpation.-[ The Chicago Trib

To Mining and Mill Superinten-
dents:

The great and unparalleled success that has
been achieved by our Asbestos Non-Conduc-
tor for covering Steam Boilers and Pipes war
rant us in Offering it to you as the BEST AND
MOST DURABLE FELTING now existing.
This Company is the oldest and most exten-
sive in the United States, and by actual test
the Asbestos Felting has proven to be more
durable than any other covering extaut, 1t is
strongly patented and any use of the word
Asbestos" in connection with any other felt
ing is an infringement. Itcontains the best non
conducting. and fire-proof ingredients known
to science. Asbestos is a mineral long known
to chemistry as non inhamable and the most
positive retainer of heat in nature. Our pro-
cess consists in so preparing Asbestos with
other hbrous and glutinous matter as to form
a strong, elastic adhesive and indestructible
covering for steam pipes and boilers. which
we have fully demonstrated is pre-eminently
superior to any other covering now in use. 1t
is less expensive thsn Hair Felting aud can
be applied at any time while the boilers are IN
use. One covering VIII last in perfect order
as long as the boilers or pipes. BY absolute
test
IT Is KNOWN TO SAVE 25 TO 80 PER
CENT. IN FUEL.
1t is non.infiamable. indestructible and
perfect non conductor of heat and cold. Its
fexibility causes II to contract and expand
with the iron surface, thus preventing it
from cracking. AS it absorbs no moisture
and excludes the atmosphere the surface of
boiler or pipe cannot corrode. 1t is applied
in plastic state upon hot surface with
facility and in few hours becomes dry,
light, elastic and tenaciously adhesive. 1t
contains no lime or other corroding substance.
We challenge the world to produce covering
to compete with ours in durability and saving
Of fuel. We possess the sole knowledge and
proprietorship of this process, and would
caution all parties against worthless limitations
f our Asbestos Non. Conductor, our unprece-
on { ed success having started several worth
less limitations of it into existence protesting
to contain Asbestos. Superintendents and
engineers are invited to examine the material
and work at the Savage Mining Company.

The RIoody shirt.

Drapeau Rouge, the famous
French flag of Europe, was the
origin of the "bloody shirt" The
history of the celebrated ensign
dates back to the times of Charles
X of France, and told by the Hon.
Lewis Cass, of Michigan, an ortho-
dox Democrat, in a little volume
he wrote some years before his
death, while at the court of Louis
Philippe. 1t seems that in the
troubles that finally led to the revo.
luton of 1880, and the expulsion
Of the Bourbons second time
rather a third, Louis XVIII's flight
on the return of Napoleon from
Elba being the second, strictly
speaking-some extremely Jealous
patriot stripped off the shirt of the
workman who had been shot down
by the troops, and hoisted the be-
spotted garment upon a pole as a
banner and rallying flag. Hence
the expression Of waving a bloody
shirt, which Mr.. Cass AYERS then
became fixed term in politics.
Afterward the shirt as only par
TALLY red, and presenting merely
a blotched appearance instead Of
the sanguinary hue sought to be
given it, was superseded by an en-
tirely red flag, the drapeau rouge.

Female Doctors in Europe.

A correspondent of the Bund of
Berne has lately summed up in sue
cessiye letters from Zurich the pres
ent results of the much-contested
/" Damenstudium." 1t is now ex-
actly ten years since the first fe-
male student clamored at the gates,
or rather since the medical faculty
opened the gates to her; for she had
been attacking them by a diligent
prosecution of the medical course.
She was a young Russian lady. The
University of Zurich on the 14th of
December, 1867, conferred upon
her the dignity and rights of a doc
tor of medicine. Doctor or Doc
tress Erismann has since practiced
medicine with great success-frst
alone, and later as the wife and
partner of a medical man. Twelve
young ladies have followed her ex-
ample, all Of them standing the
test of the severe examination with
credit, and some with brilliancy.
Each of these ladies has received
from the medical faculty of the
University the degree of doctor of
medicine, surgery and midwifery.
Six Of these graduates were Rus
slams, two were English women
miss Morgan, in 1870, and Miss
Atkins, in 1879, one was a Scotch
woman, one an American, one a
Swiss, and the remaining two were
Germans. The American, Young
lady from Boston, passed with great
applause, and her public disputa-
ton, before receiving her degree on
the 22d Of June, 1871, created
much admiration. After short
but very promising practice, she
lost her life by shipwreck in the
Atlantic. In 1872, when Zurich
had brayed the worst of the storm
Of ridicule and anger, the Univer-
sity of Gottingen found courage to
stand at her side, and the first fe-
male academical student in the
Netherlands passed a successful
Examination in physics and mathe-
matics. The two latest, Russian
from Jaroslaw and Fraulein Fran
ziska Tiburtius, from the island of
Rugen, in the Baltic, have Just
maintained their thesis and been
admitted to the dignity and rights
of the doctors degree. The thir-
teen ladies who have received medi-
cal degrees have exhibited an un-
doubted vocation for the profession.
The extraordinary pressure of fe-
male students with which Zurich
was threatened at the beginning of
the movement has now subsided,
and is not likely to recur.
