Female Physicians.

Not long since large and enthusiastic meet
ing was held in New York, in the hall of the
Union League building. composed of the men,
bsrs and friends Of the Association for tho
Advancement of the Medical Education Of
Women. An able address WAS delivered by
Mr.. Robert b. Roosevelt, having for its theme,
The Social Influence Of Women Physicians"
Mr.. Roosevelt dwelt earnestly upon the great
good that must result 20 women from the ad-
vice and aid Of thoroughly educated and
| trained physicians Of their own sex. He drew
| a picture of the average American matron.
which none of US can fail to recognize. Pale,
delicate, aud puny, aud always suffering and
ailing he depicts her as thoroughly shattered
and broken down when she should be in
tho prime Of life, an object, us he asserts Of
wonder to the other sex, in many instances Of
pity, and in some cases even of contempt. All
these ills were laid to the want Of proper ad-
vice and treatment. He was a thorough con-
vert to the plan of admitting women to ovcry
advantage and privilege enjoyed by male stu
dents in pursuing medical education.
The next address was made by Miss Emily
Blackwell, NJ. d., a lady specially interesting
to her audience, and to everybody, wo may
say who feels an interest ir tho objects Of that
meeting. Miss Blackwell claims that tho
ability of women to become thorough and efii-
cient physiciaus and their power OF enduring
hospital work. is now thoroughly tested and
established. Among the women employed in
the "Woman's Hospital during the last
twenty years, sho assures us, fewer
days have been lost on account Of sick
ness than would be found to 10
the case in AN institute managed by men in
the same length of time. For our own part,
We eau only say that to this, as to every step
that promises advancement or benefit to tho
human race, either men or women, we give
our hearty sympathy and earnest wishes for
success. We can't deny that there is to US
something that is not all of sweetness and cap
tivation in the novelty Of woman being called
doctor" and the fearful profession of physi-
cian, which never can be properly learned
without peep into tho disscoting room seems
TO US so full OF nightmares aud apparitions
that We feel sure no ordinary woman could
endure IL and retain brains enough to DO
u physician. Still IL is all right, we sup.
pose; and those of the sex who choose this
profession show themselves only the moro
superior to the weaknesses aud folies Of other
women. One thing is certain, theis Is, or
ought 10 be, a wido field OF usefulness before
the womon.doctors. If there Is any adyan-
tage in the thorough comprehension of a pa
TENTS organization, In sympathy with the
feelings, in gentleness and tenderness, surely
one woman ought to DO suitable doctor for
another.
We will wager anything, though, that thcrs
will be women 50 obstinate and blind As 10
prefer the old-timed, stOve-pipsd and be- whis-
kered doctor 10 the gentle creature in the bon
net and vail.

Poets and Flowers.

OF living English poets, Mr. Tennyson alone
shows any real love for flowers. And this love
Is scarcely shown so much in the well known
song In Maud" as by little touches here ard
there--the long green box Of mignonetts"
which the emillcr's daughter has set no har case
ment edge-ths wild marsh -marigold" which
shines like fire In swamps" for the happy
May Quecn-or the water lilies which blossom
round the island of Shallott.
And who can forget the stanza in EN-
Memoriam?'
Bring orchis, bring the foxgloye spire,
The little spccdwclrs darling blue,
Deep tulips, dashed with fury dew.
Laburnums dropping wells Offre.
OF American poets Mr.. Lcngfellow has,
rather strangely, written nothing very men,
orable about flowers, but there are some pretty
verses Of Mr.. Bryant, and an occasional good
line of Mr.. Emerson, as where he speaks Of the
pentian ~ "blue-eycd pet of bluo-oyod
lover" or tells US that
Every uStcr in my hand
Goes home loaded with thought.
As we once again look around upon the
"barbs' that have sung, u Is clear that their
ihvorite blossoms have been the rose aud tho
daisy--the one recalling all the delights of tho
summer garden, the other all the freshness Of
the open field; one loved for its beauty, the
other cherished for its constancy.
The rose has but a summer roisn,
The daisy never dies,
says Montgomery in one of tho best known Of
his poems. Cowslips, violets, daffodils aud
ransies--"tho beautiful Puritan pansies." rs
Edgar Poe calls them-aro probably the next
favorites. Painters have done more for lilies
than the poets have; and carnations and tho
later flowers of tho year have never made
much place for themselves In the poetry of
England. The English garden of to-day still
awaits its laureate and, except where, in Mr..
Allinghams 'Thennia," vase and plot burn
scarlet gold and azure, We scarcely know Of .
description Of modern bedding out" and We
sincerely hope that the present fashion may
disappear before the thankless task Is under
taken.

The Dollar OF asa Grains.


Old Senator Christiancy wants dollar
of 434 grainsl The old Shylock. He will
not get 1t. -N.
The voice of Delaware in Congress
ought not to be cast against her citizens,
and their interest in favor of domestic or
foreign bondholders on the silver ques-
ton. ttt -. a.. fsa
Delaware that revolted at the tax OF
three cents pound on tea in 1776 must
have become very lamb in meekness to
suffer tax of four or five per cent. to be
saddled upon her now; and that through
the want of understanding in those who
have been sent to Congress.
If either of these gentlemen were so
young as to have not handled gold and
silver anterior to the rebellion in 1861 we
might find some excuse for their votes II
these votes should be recorded in favor
of adding six per cent. TO the public
debt by making the people pay in dol
lar that has four or five per cent. more
of silver in it than the dollar that the
contract calls for h avt.
Our Congressman are not SO young as
not TO know that before the war the gold
dollar passed readily in pieces of all the
various sizes from 81 to $40, and they
were exchanged or paid out dollar fol-
dollar with our silver dollars in 1861 and
up to 1873 the very year that silver was
demonetized. Denionetized by a conspiracy
as we now firmly believe Nth On, Intention
todefraud the people. After reading andcare.
fully studying the manner inwhich the bill
which performed this outrage was put
through both Houses we are compelled
to arrive at the conclusion that it was
done designedly and not grdtuitousls
either. We are tired of hearing the talk
about the dishonest dollar. The dishonesty
if there is any, is in the gentlemen who
had it issued and not in the good old
"dolldr ofu,e daddies." The daddies were
better men than the ungrateful sons who
attempt to dispise their work.
But to the point. The dollar of 3S4
grains, that is the two half dollars, whicl
together make 173 grains less than the
dollar of 4124 grains was, as each of the
gentlemen from Delaware in Congress,
know freely circulated ON par with the
gold coin in 1861 and up to 1873. The,
know that for many years previous L
1861 the two half dollars passed at pa
with gold and in exchange for gold
They were taken in the banks and pal,
out of the banks at par with gold in an,
amounts, and yet these half dollars onl,
weighed 1872 grains.
In one ofMr. Bayard's speeches he say
there were no dollars of Az! grains O
''dollap of the daddies." We do not ad
init this, because it is proved from Dl
Linderman's book that there were nearl,
two millions of them coined in 1928
But we take the assertion for what it i
worth to prove that the silver dolla
which passed so current on a par will
gold before the war was the subsidiar,
coin-the half dollar-requiring two t
weigh 384 grains; and now they want IL
to believe that a dollar of 4l2l grains i
too light to pay bond that was promise
to be paid in it.
