What the South Pays the North for Food.

Atlanta (Ga.) constitutional
1t has been ascertained that the South
has this season paid to the North $780,
000, 900 for wheat, $50, 200, 900 for
corn, s72, ,000, 900 for meats and about
So, ,0O0, 900 for hay, butter, cheese,
oats. apples, potatoes, etc. The North,
in other words, draws on US for about
s200, 600, 900 4 year to liquidate bills that
should not have been made. This sum
Is far more than we can afford to pay for
bread and meat, if We wholly depend
upon cotton. This drain has impoyer-
ished Us, and from bitter experience
we have at last learned to do better
The North viii next season be able to
take from as over 500, ,O00, 900 on ac-
count Of provisions and grain, and a
year later the South should be fully
selfsustaining. It must be done if
there is to be any real independence in
the South.

The ship Island Railroad.
Aberdeen Examiner.l

aberdeen EXamlner.l
Col. Jones S. Hamilton, the most enter
prising and energetic man in the State OF
Mississippi, in company with ex-Chief JUS
tice SimralI, was in Washington last week
looking after the interests of the Brandon
and Ship Island Railroad, which is among
the roads whose land grants it has been pro-
posed to declare forfeited on account of no
work having been done upon them.
The Railroad Committee of the Senate
while ayerse to legislating in the premises
at the present session, seems to be unanl-
nous in the opinion that it requires posi-
tive action on the part of Congress to effect
a forfeiture, and that If the Company should
90 to work and complete the road the sec
retary of the Interior would be compelled
to issue the patents for lands in accordance
with the original grant, and that no act of
Congress declaring forfeiture could ever
be obtained while the work of construction
was progressing.

COMMITTEES during his visit in May had a
roqver(i,l and convincing effect; it also ere

Women Physicians.
peal.

The Council of the Massachusetts, Medi-
cal Society vote against the admission of
women to membership in "the profession"
but it is creditable to the members of the
society that they voted 104 to go on the
passage of the following resolution
That in the opinion of members here
present, it is expedient that well-qualifed
women be admitted to fellowship Tin the
State Medical Society on the same terms
as men, and that the Secretary be requested
to lay this vote before the Council tonight"
This resolution vas communicated to the
Councillors, who make up the soeiety's re-
view board, and was summarily knocked in
the head, because, like the barber spoken of
by Dickens, the line must be drawn by the
doctors somewhere, and. if not on "pathy,
then on sex.
The majority of mankind and womanklnd
will fail to appreciate the reasonableness of
such exciusiveness and prejudice, since
even in Massachusetts, female physicians are
appointed to responsible positions in hospit-
AIS and prisons, and are found in every
considerable village and city in the land.
Most of them are graduates ofsome respec-
table medical college-the field of quaekery
and humbuggery being left almost exclu-
sively to their envious brothers-and they
are quietly winning their way to success
and the confidence Of the community.
Women are the mothers of the race, and
there is nothing about this mortal life OF
ours that is more ofa mystery to them than
to the men. Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
thinks she knows something about men,
because she has lived with one of them as
his lawful wife for over thirty years, and
raised six boys of her own to manhood.
Women are adapted by nature aud taste
to engage in the practice of medicine.
There is nothing indelicate about it moth
ing that the women may not understand az
well as the men, and nothing that they
cannot master as well by proper application
and intelligent judgment. Indeed, 50 far
as the treatment of her own sex in the most
delicate hours of woman's existence IS
concerned, and in the care of children,
well-trained female practitioner should GER
tainly not be excluded because she IS q
woman. IF she is excluded at all, let It be
because she is an ignoramus or quack, and
let her abide by the same rule that would
shut out her more pretentious brother IL
the point be made that the woman physic-
ian is not properly qualified, the answer IS
ready that she never viii be so long As she
IS denied admission into medical societies
and some medical colleges, on account Of
the sane blind preiudice which recently ex-
eluded her from the Harvard Medical
School. Chicago Journal.

Romantic Girls Who Started to See
the World.

Two young ladies were arrested at Mer-
ced, Cal, May %, in the southbound emf
grant train by Under Sheriff Woods, of San
Bernardino county. One of them is a min
or, and the other little over is years of
age. They had developed romantic turn
Of mind, and determined to travel and see
the world. The elder drew $1,000 out of
the San Bernardino Bank, and taking the
younger with her, set our visiting the most
of the interior places in Arizona, California,
Nevada, and Utah. As they had exhibited
impatience at the control of the guardian Of
the younger, and Of their relatives before
starting, their friends became uneasy and
set the officers upon their track, who, after
a long chase, overlook them here and 3rres-
ted the younger, the elder agreeing to also
return with the Sheriff. They had no male
companions in their rambles. Each is said
to be mistress Of fortune ni $50, 900 in her
own right, the proceeds Of an estate. Their
travelling seems to be for the purpose Of OBJ
servation. They proceeded on their way to
San Bernardino with the Under Sheriff in
good spirits and not much put out by the
arrest.-Alta California.

an incorporated town the right to make

A young couple who we're married in this
city last week were discussing the ante-nup-
tial preparations in the presence of bright
youngster Of fifteen, who had been reading
up something of the literature of the p. X.
Among other accessories and incidentals, the
style and color of the gloves to be worn
was considered, and the youngsters opinion
was asked. "Get boxing-glovesw was the
ready reply. The appropriateness Of the
suggestion was conceded, but if it was adop-
ted the articles were laid away for use after

Foreign Immigration to the South.
st. Louis Republican.

Foreigners coming to America do not find
their way into the Southern States. OF
500, ,655 immigrants since January /, 1882,
up to May 81, less than 1000 have found
homes in the South. While Pennsylvania
got 5000 and Ohio II, 900, the Southern
States received: Virginia, 153; Maryland,
19I; West Virginia, 1856; North Carolina,
%; South Carolina, g.: : Alabama, 68 !;
Florida, 49; Mississippi, 70: Georgia, 134 !;
Arkansas, ], los; Louisiana, 600 !; Kentucky,
500; Tennessee, 15T; Missouri, 430; Texas,
1900 Almost any one of the Northwest
ern States received more than all the South
ern States combined. Tue general impress
sion is that the presence of large negro
population in this quarter of the Union
turns foreigners away from it but the fact
that Kentucky got twice as many as Mis-
souri,, Louisiana more than 30 per cent,
and Texas three times as many, shows that
some other cause contributes to the result.

Smith who have been engaged with the
engineering party in laying out the line of
the Natchez, Red River and Texas Rail-
road between Alexandria and the Sabine
river, have completed their Iabors, and re-
turned to this city The road has been
surveyed and laid out to the Sabine river,
on the Texas border, at point about four
miles below the junction of that river and
the Anacoco, where it connects with the
Bremond road, which has also been recently
located to the Sabine river, and which runs
through the towns of Jasper, Newton aud
Trinity At Trinity it will connect with
the international and Great Northern Rail
road, and with the Bremond system running
west
This completes the location Of the entire
line Of the Natchez, Red River and Texas
Railroad, as far as at present projected, and
connects Natchez with all the Pacific lines
south Of the snow belt. When built this
road will pass through a good section of
country, a large part of which being virgin
forests and the rest some of the most fertile
lands in the State Of Louisiana, and the
trade of which will be most valuable to our
merchants We should take prompt steps
to make it tributary to us, commercially,

 En engagement.
 ALEXANDRIA,, Sept. 10.-A party of Bed- ouins succeeded in entering Fort Meks this this morning, but after desperate conflict were dislodged by the British at the point of the bayonet, leaving number of killed with in the fort. The boldness of this attempt upon strong fortifcation garrisoned by the British has greatly increased the feeling of uneasiness over the comparatively unpro- tected condition of this city. The English consul general having protested against the reported keelhaaling of native prisoners, the Khedive has ordered the immediate abolition of all punishments condemned by modern civilization.
 CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. .1O.-The negotia- tions between the Porte and Greece have proven futile, as the Porte has refused to abandon Katalepsi, the chief strategic point on the frontier, the possession of which was strongly insisted upon by Greece. It is feared the failure of these negotiations will result in revival of hostilities on much 1 larger scale, as both of the powers have been massing troops in the vicinity of the dis puted territory.

---------- Costly Worship of the Dead.

Great indeed are the expenses entailed on the living by the dead (writes Miss c. F. Gordon Cumming of the funeral customs of the Chinese.) In no land can the loss of a kinsman be more seriously felt. To begin with, there are heavy funeral expenses. The body must be dressed in fine new clothes, and another good suit must be burnt, as also his boots and shoes, most of his wardrobe, his bed and bedding, and the things most es- sential to his comfort when living, for he is supposed to require all these in the unseen world; and though paper representations are useful later, the real articles are needed for the original outfit. Then @ handsome coffin is essential, and the priests must be largely paid for funeral services at the house of the deceased, and again for their services in ascertsining the lucky day for burial while professor of flung shui must also be paid, to choose the exact spot where they may safely prepare the grave so that the dead may be safely shielded from the evil influences which proceed from the north, and encompassed by all the good which breathes from the south.
 From the tenth to the seventeenth day af- ter death, the priests whether Taoist or Buddhist, hold services in the house, to pro- tect tho living from the inroads of hosts of spirits who are supposed to crowd in, in the wake of their new friend, and as all relatives and friends of the family must be entertained, as well as the priests this is another heavy item of expense. In short, many families are permanently impoverished by the drain to which they are thus subjected, and which in the form of masses for the departed and offerings at his grave or before his tablet, are certain to recur again and again. To omit them would be to incur the anger of tht spitefu1 dead, who are now in a position tc avenge themselves on the living by infiictins all manner of sickness and suffering. Be sides if the priests know that there is any possibility of extracting money from the

The Prestdent's Eastern Trip.
 BAR HARBoR, Sept 1e.-The United States steamers Despatch and Tallapoosa arrived from Portsmouth at a. m. with President Arthur, Secretary of the Navy Chandler, Commodore English, Messrs. Wilson and Wells and several private guests. The trip from Portsmouth was very smooth. Tho President was received by T. B. Musgrave, the Wall street broker. He remained on tho Despatch quietly until l o'clock and then came ashore and lunched with Mir. Musgrave at his rivate residence in Edgemore. Secre- tary Chandler and wife were also his guests The President was visited on the Despatch by Senator Eugene Hale. He is looking bright and is evidently in better health and spirits than when he left Newport. Tho Despatch lies at anchor off the steamboat wharf and is thronged by scores of small rowboats. The vessels of tho squadron arrived later to day. To morrow there will be 8 naval drill and re- view of the crews in the harbor before the President.
