The Wholesale Manu- ufacture Of
Doctors.

1t is a noteworthy fact that the med
ical schools of New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore alone have turned out
this season a total Of nearly if not quite
one thousand doctors, besides goodly
number of dentists. The Medical Re-
cord, in commenting on this rapid in
crease in the number Of practitioners,
says the proportion Of medical students
10 the population in 1910 was one to
1000; in 1S4o, one to $500; in 1871,
one to 500; and in 1877, one to a.
7O1; while the proportion OF theolosl-
cal and law students has increased on
ly about one-tenth as fast. The Re-
cord fears that over competitor will be-
get envy, poverty and dishonesty and
work harm to the community, and that
medical ethics will cease IN exist when
the proportion of physicians to popu-
lation is one to four hundred OF popu
lation. 1t remains to br seen whether
this shocking prophecy will be fulfill

The Oiiver.CamerOn Case.

The hearing in the Oliver-Cameron
breach of promise case was resumed
yesterday morning before Judge Cart
ter.
The hrst witness was DR.. George
Gould, of Kentucky. He testified that
he is a preacher, and is in charge OF
the Millersvills Female College; his
mother was sister of Thomas Oliver;
hs knew nothing of Mr.. divers mother
(who lived with Eim) adopting any
child while they lived in Raleigh, and
one could not have lived in the house
without his knowing it; he saw plain
tiff in Louisville in 1854; she was living
with his uncle, Thomas Oliver. i'll the
house on Walnut street, from which
his family had previously moved; he
never knew either his grandmother or
sister to visit the house while plaintiff
was in it. Plaintiff commenced writ
ing to witness in 1870, and continued
to do so until about two weeks ago.
The general purport Of the letters was
that, if witness did not use his influence
with Mr.. Oliver, to have him restore
the daughter, or pay plaintiff some
money, she would prosecute hin for
bigamy, and disgrace the whole family.
Mr.. Oliver is now on assistant in the
school at Millersville, over which the
witness had charge. He knew that.
for the passed twenty years, the life OF
Mr.. Oliver had been very exemplary
one.
Hon. A. G. Riddle was the next wit
ness. lie testified that Mrs. Oliver
called at his Office in August, ls76,and
wished to see him alone. She repre-
sented that she had lady friend oc-
cupying similar position to herself in
the Treasury aud that her friend had
become involved in difficulty with a
distinguished Senator. He asked il in
this state Of affairs any promise to mar
riage had been given, and she replied
'nOnc, whatever" He also asked if
any writings were in possession OF her
fr end, and she replied "none, what
ever, that the Senator was promi
nent man and did not write letters.

The Philadelphia "Star" says
"The anticipated dcclin" in the price
of beef has not yet manifested itself
On the contrary this staple has advanc'
ed in pric. abroad, and he influence
, of course has extended itself to our
markets. Our English friends, whos'
taste for good things will hardly b.
disputed, seem disposed to do the right
thing and pay fair price for American
sirloiDs and roasts, but the people OF
America would nevertheless like to
know why they cannot procure beef
here. where it is produced, as cheaply
as people who are supplied with it

THE COLORED EXODUS.
What Ex-Governor Pinchback Of
Louisiana says About 1t.

1OulSIdNh chy y AuVusses
Tx Governor Pinchback having been
appealed to by the planters OF Madison
Parish Louisiana, to check the migra-
tion OF the colored people from that
parish, writes as follows in relation to
it:
Ex-Gov. Pinchback, in writing from
Delta, Madison Parish, La, on March
II, thus describes the exodus: Before
leaving New Orleans heard of the
Kansas fever among the colored people
Of this section, but did not attach much
Importance to it, was, therefore, sur
prsed on nearing the Delta ferry-land-
ing. to find the bank of the river COW
cred with colored people and their little
stores of worldly goods. The crowd
awaiting transportation at this point
was estimated at 300, but | learn it was
swollen to 500 yesterday, when the peo-
pie took their departure ON the st.
Louis packet Grand Tower for Kansas.
A noticeable feature about their de-
parture was the fact that not one OF
that vast number was permitted to
board the steamer untilthe fare was paid
to st. Louis. This fact eXplodes the
erroneous idea that these people are
having their expenses paid by some
outside agency, and that the move
ment is not spontaneous one on theiI
part. Numerous reasons are alleged
for this remarkable exodus, but so fai
AZ | have been able to learn, the real
cause is an apprehension OF underlined
danger in the hear future. They re-
lieiously believe that the Constitution
al Convention BODIES them no good; thai
it has been called for the express pur-
pose of abridging their rights and lib
critics, and they are fleeing from thu
wrath to come.
They are absolutely panic stricken
Every road leading to the river is filled
with wagons loaded with plunder, ant
families who seem to think anywhere
is better than here. On my way yes
terday, to Milliken's Bend, lsaw larg'
crowd camped on the landing at Duck
port. A still larger crowd AWAITED
transportation at Milliken's Bend
There is no doubt in my mind tina
this movement has assumed formidable
shape, and, unless some means are de-
vised to arrest it, this portion OF th'
State will soon be entirely drpopulated
of its laboring classes.
1.-The entire congregations OF two OF
tn. leading Baptist churches OF tins
parish have alryady gone, and the estl'
mate of the number that has left since
the movement began is placed by the
white planters as high as 300. While
deeply deplore the condition OF things
up here, | am not certain but what II
will be productive of more good thar
harm in the end, in that it has taugh
the white people of Louisiana tha
there is point beyond which even ne
gro endurance cannot last"
Gov. Pinchback says meetings have
been held in Madison Parish, at whicl
Gen. Morey, William Murray, himsel
and others have attended and address
Ell the blacks, and he expresses the be
lief that their efforts will lead to mu-
tual understanding between the plant
ers and the laborers.

A WORD To TIE CoRPULENT.

Instead of regarding obesity as an alb
normal condition. many people have err.
roneously considered it "a AL evidence
OF health. and any agent that reduces
tat is therefore at once suspected of be-
Ing injurious. Starting % reason from
the false position that fat is an evidence
OF health, ii ia not surprising that they
should. very naturally. fall into the err
ror Of supposing that an agency possess.
ing properties capable Of reducing corpu-
lency would prove injurious TO the health.
Reasoning, however. from the rational ba.
sis. that an undue deposition of fat. DON.
stituting obesity, is not healthy but a
morbid condition, it is quite as natural
for rs to arrive at the opposite conclu-
sion, which is sustained by experience
and observation. .. e.. that the reduction
of fat in cases of corpnlency is invaria.
