A WICKED JOKE.
How the OH Exchange Dude Was
Imposed Upon.
New York rimo,.s

The members Of the Oil EXCHANGE
are rather swell set Of young men,
but the lead in the matter Of clothes
is taken by a youth known as 1.-THE
dude, whose name is withheld for the
sake Of his relatives. This dude
strolled into the Exchange during q
dull hour yesterday, and Solomon in
all his glory was never arrayed like
one Of him. To begin near the bottom,
his feet, 1.-THE dudes, not SOlomOn's)
were encased in the glossiest Of patent
feathers; his trousers fitted like the
paint on a lamp post; his coast had
never a creise from tail to top; his
linen was starched until it shone, and
his collar was perfection itself and
raised his chin so that he could only
gaze at the floor at the hazard of cut.

top. Altogether he vas radiantly,
dazzlingly beautiful.
The dude stopped near the middle
Ofthe floor, struck an attitude much
affected by garden statuary, and gazed
serenely and pityingly upon his COM
monplace fellow>brokers. But hor>
ror Of horrors A rude man came
behind him and jerked the silken tile
from his head, and the next moment
il was thrown TO the floor, had received
vicious kick, and dozen brokers
we're runningafter it. They surrounds
ed it, scuffled for it, and away it sailed
again toward the ceiling with the en-
tire membership Of the Exchange,
save only the owner, in wild pursuit.
Round and round the floor gamboled
the merry brokers with the hat before
them. Now it was suffering in their
midst, then IL shot over the floor in
desperate efforts TO escape, only to be
again overtaken, trampled, kicked,
and trodden until il presented an ap-
pearance as il it had been lain down on
by COW and then spent a summer un.
der dust heap, and the gay brokers
were tired out and perspiring,
The dude during this terrible period
stood aghast, and, with horror de-
picted in every feature, turned in
frozen despair as the ganbols Of his
wicked associates led them to the four
cardinal points of the rooms compass.
But when a grinning messenger boy
brought him the battered corpse Of
his precious deer he forced smile
which was only desolato mockery OF
happiness and remarked:
Jaw, dawn't care anyway 1t was
an old hawt."
Then the rude man who had torn
the tile from the unhappy adolescents
head approached and handed him the
silken hat uninjered, and the dude
learned that he had been the victim Of
a wicked joke. An old hat had been
substituted on the floor, while the
joker held the victims tile behind his
back. And it came to pass that the
noise OF the unholy laughter was so
great as to jar the ticker into the tape
basket, aud the dude will wear a
Derby hat to day and forever after
while on the floor Of the Exchange.

 monument on East Rock little better than sarcasm If East Rock, which by stretch of language we cali East Rock Park, held the ,or,e relations to the city as Central Park bo15s to New York, or Boston Common to tba citv of Boston, then the case would be different but to erect costly monument in snch A place, unprotected, unguarded and out of harmony with all it's surroundings does not seem consistent with prudence. l I think the fears of our venerable town born' citizen are ill-founded. The fact that A number of old tombstones on which were engraved the most grotesque and 1ncongru- ous hieroglyphics imaginable were removed from the most central, and what has since been the most beautiful, spot in the city, IS no evidence that future generations will de- mand the removal of structures or edlhces which do not violate taste or ordinary com mon sense The churches on the Green are by no means unsightly or offensive to the eve, and there is no probability that the con- crepations who use them will ever allow them to become so.

 The Massachusetts Medical society is walk ing up circular was recently sent to every member asking him ''Do you favor the admission of women to the society on the same terms with men p The society has l, 343 members. Answers to this question were received from l, 132, of which 709 were s'yes," 400 mo" and 9 indifferent" From this it appears that majority of the whole society, and seven to four of those who an- swered the circular sent to them, favor the admission of women on terms of equality. Answers to other questions sent show that 336 members have consulted with female physicians, while 6S4 have not that 931 do not object to consulting with woman on account of her sex, while 14G do object.
 But notwithstanding the favor with which female healers appear to be regarded by the male healers in Massachusetts they cannot yet become members of the medical society. Dr. James R. Chadwick, who has been look ing into the matter, finds that seventeen State medical societies, representing the old est and most enlightened States in the Union have voted that sex is no disqualification for admission to their ranks, and that no State
  mission now shuts it's doors in their faces; In thirteen of the States, all but one of them (New Jersey) at the South, no women had ever applied for membership. In the other States 115 women had. two years ago, thsir fitness to practice medicine acknowledged by the authorized censors of the profes- sion. Dr. Chadwick tells his brethren that many women are already practicing medicine in Massachusetts, and he very sensibly points out that the main question before the society is whether it ought not to protect the public by distinguishing such as are fairly educated from ignorant and fraud uient practitioners at the same time giving to those whom it finds qualified the advan- tage of participation in the scientific exer- cises of the State and district societies.
 There is certainly ID good reason why well educated female physicians should not be admitted to whatever medical societies they choose to join. They have come to stay, and, as the Boston Herald forcibly puts it: The male societies can no more prevent wo- men from qualifying themselves to treat the sick, or stop people from employing them who prefer to do so, than they can induce patients to submit to the regular treatment in vogue fifty years ago. The question is not one of sex, but of capacity. A woman is not to be chosen as physician. or tabooed as one, because she is woman; the aptness the l learning, the skill, are all. There is an es- pecial fitness in having wom en physicians in great number and variety of cases, which sensitive men, no less than sensitive women, are more and more coming to appreciate The profession now happily embraces quail I fled women as well as men. It's schools and societies should be open to both on equal terms

 The work of freeing the slaves still goes on in Brazil. The Condessa de Barral Pedra Branca gave liberty on her birthday to forty slaves, the last she possessed, raising to about one hundred in all the number she has eman. cipated gratuitously. In Ceara, the head quarters of the movement, the Quixeramo- bim society commenced it's existence on March 25 with the emancipation of thirty two slaves. On the 11th of the same month ty slaves were freed; on the 18th the town of Pereira formed society which is prepar- ing to make a number of Alterations. Seve- ral emancipations since last mail are reported from Pernambuco. In Amazonss a bill has been brought in to vote 10000 milreis to the Emancipation society of Manaos and at the opening of the library two slaves were freed.
 citizen of Missouri sued railroad compa ny for injuries received at crossing and re- covered. The plaintiff just before reaching
 
 for the train at the most favorable point for seeing and hearing one. He was in his wag- on drawn by mules, and neither seeing or hearing the train attempted to cross. Just as he approached he observed the train right upon him, when his mules became un- manageable and the engine struck the wagon and team, killing one mule and in ficting on plaintiff injuries rendering him 8 cripple for life. The bell was not rung, nor the whistle sounded. The Supreme court af- firmed the judgment, holding that to ring the bell or sound the whistle is an impera- tive duty for which no excuse is receiva- ble. Holding also. that though the statu- tory signals should be given by the railroad company if they should be unheard or un- needed, and traveller undertake to cross, it would still be the duty of those in charge of the train to avoid collision, if the danger was discovered by them in sufficient time to enable them to do so. And on the other hand, when the statutory signals are not giv- en, if the traveller on the highway, by look ing along the track of the rsilroad, could dis cover an approaching train, and thus get the same information by the eye that would be imparte6 through the ear by the statutory signals whsn given, fails to look, but ushes headlong to the danger, and suffers injury, he would be guilty of contribu tory negligence. which would prevent recovery for dam- ages for injury received
