Women in the Professions.

Many of the law and medical schools
OF the United States are open to women
on the same terms as to men. and OF the
majority Of 125 theological seminaries,
exclusive OF the Roman Catholic, oppor-
tunltles OF study similar to those enjoyed
Dy the young men are afforded them,
though they may be neither matricu-
lated nor receive q degree. The
numberof women practicing law
IS far greater in the Western
States than in the Eastern, and o large
proportion of the schools, especially of
those connected with the State Univer-
sites, are free to them.
Of the three law schools in New En-
gland, only one is open to both sexes.
that OF the Boston University. The
school has, however, I am informed, not
yet graduated a woman. The women
OF the East who desire to read Kent and
to learn forms of procedure prefer to
obtain legal education in the more
private advantages Of lawyers Office.

opinion regarding women's preaching,
but few have been admitted either to the
pulpit or to the theological seminary
Although the number has greatly in
creased in the last decade, in 1870, of
1884 clergymen, only sixty-seven were
women. The Methodist and Universal
LIST churches have probably proved more
cordial in granting clerical privileges to
women than the churches Of ether lead

number OF women turn than enter both
the legal profession and the clerical.
The first medical school for women
ever established Female Medical
Educational Society-was organized in
Boston in November, 1848. For thirty
years, in both Europe and the United
States, measures for giving women q
thorough training in medicine have been
pushed very vigorously. At times the
contest between those favoring and those
opposing their practice of the healing
art has been waged with the bitterness
of the anti-slavery struggle. The gen
eral result, however, has been victory
for the women. In Europe there are no
less than twenty-five schools Of high
standing, in which they can receive a
medical education, the large majority Of
which have been either opened to them
or established within the last ten years.
In India, 100000 Of whose women
ere forbidden by social custom from re-
ceiving the attendance of male physi-
clans at their homes, severa! schools
have been formed since 1867 for afford

a regular medical training. OF the

the country IN June, 1880, was $3.50, with q
total banking capital of $3.50, O49, 800, and
9 total Of deposits Of $2.219, S33, 29O.
The comptroller recommends that the law
now IN force be so amended that national
bank circulation shall be redeemed upon q
percentage Of notes outstanding; that banks
IN operation shall pay their proportion Of
the expense, and the remainder be borne by
the government, which alone receives the
benefit, and should, therefore, pay its just
share.
The government has for the past ten
years annually received averages of more
than 100000 of taxes upon deposits
upon system unknown elsewhere in any
country, and it is certainly but just that it
should bear the expenses of redemption of
those notes, from the circulation OF which
it receives the entire benefit.
The total amount Of national bank notes
received for redemption by the comp
troller of the currency and at the
redemption agencies of the treasury
during the year 1880 is shown to have been
$500, 988,94O. The number of bank notes
which have been issued since the organiza-
ton of the system is 137, 678, 229, valued at
$989,O88,985. OF these 1886 $3.50, valued
at S647 zoos, 534, have been redeemed, and
80, ,343, valued at $342,O63, 451, were
still outstanding on November 1. 1880. The
amount of national bank currency destroyed
during tho year ending October 81, 1880,
Was $35, 539, 66O.
The comptroller ssys: The total losses
charged off by the banks during current
year were 14,7O6, 4O6 and for four years pre-
vious $685., O68. The total losses charged
of during the last five years are more than
25 per cent of the entire capital of banks.
During the last five years the average num-
Der Of banks annually emitting dividends
on account of losses has been
~ per cent. The average amount Of capt.
tai upon which no dividends have been paid
during that time is $42,266,244. From
which it follows that for continuous period
of five years about 1-72 per cent. of the
whole number of banks in operation have
paid no dividends and nearly one-tenth of
the total capital has been unremunerative.

Screaming Women.

The woman who screams at every
thing, from mouse to a COW, is of little
practical use. How will the wife who
screams at nothing deport herself when
her husband is brought home with a
broken leg, her child has fit, the fam
lily fortunes go to sudden ruin, the house
catches fire, the ceilings fall in, the
pipes burst, and, to use Shal1speare's
expression, call is in extremity p The
little scream, so feminine, and to some
ears so appropriate in the days Of white
muslin gowns, dainty little hats, and
rosebud cheeks, always blushing, will
have very different sound for the har-
assed man Of business, the long suffering
husband, the anxious father; he will
look with envy on those happy fellows
who possess wives who do not scream.
Properly considered, this question of
screaming should have great weight in
mans choice of partner for Life. The
little scream is invaluable as an index
Of character. Morally well-bred woman
would dream of screaming at COW any
more than of losing her temper with
careless servants before company. She
has been taught self-possession under
emergencies as duty owed to society,
and it becomes matter of course. A
man, therefore, in choosing wife,
should ask himself whether such a
calm, dignified bearing, presence of
mind, and a reluctance to inflict dis
comfort on others, are not qualities that
outlive mere beauty. Partly, therefore,
to vulgarity, and also partly to vanity,
must the scream be attributed. There
are girls SO helplessly addicted to self
adulation, women SO morbid]y anxious
for notice, that they will do anything
short Of committing murder in order to
attract attention. What they cannot
effect by good looks, spirit, or even an
attractive appearance, they connive by
the scream. A scream CRATES scream
is odious scream has no meaning, but
it makes the bystander stare it awakens
a spurious sympathy for the moment
All we can say is that, all things con-
sidered, the man who marries woman
who screams deserves the misery which
is in store for him.

GOSSIP FOR THE LADIES.

Although the Princess Of Wales is
never extravagantly dressed, she is said
to be more perfectly costumed than any
other lady IN England, be they English
or foreign. BY the side Of professional
beauties, she stands out boldly from
them all, star pre-eminent, both in
womanlJ qualities, the grace Of mother
hood, and her own queenly beauty. She
is fresh as q rosebud, but seems unoon-
scious Of her charms, and the admiring
gaze Of crowds never seems to disturb
her equanimity. Her last costume,
worn at Fulham, was OF peacock green,
studded with golden disks, and the sun
light falling upon it made it radiant and
sparkle like gold cloth. The bonnet
was made to match, with trimming Of

Rev. Mr.. Irwin, of Moorhead favored
the people Of jamestown with his pres
ence in the pulpit last Sabbath. We do
not know of what denomination Mr.. Ir-
win is, neither do we care, but to our
notion, he is the first man any religious
denomination hes ever sent here that
seems to fill the bill. Mr.. Baldwin is q
gentleman and a good man, and as such
we like him; but he is getting too old to
do us justice. During the year there has
been no less than fifty played out, half
educated, celestial expouudcrs of Holy
Writ, sent here by the heads Of different
denominations, and for what, God only
knows. As gentleman they are undoubt-
edly all right enough, but as ministers
they have proved themselves wholly in
capable of doing our citizens justice. This
may seem rough on the portion
Of the clergy referred to; but is
no worse for us to kill them than is for
them to kill Us. We want good preach
er, one who is reasonable in his religious
views, and can give US something besides

hashed and rehashed since the bloody days

class refined and intelligent, and we claim
that tits not fair for the chiefs of the diff.

cure the evil is to deal with it as you
would any other public wrong.
