see the large amount of news its editor

measure, many the crying evils at present
borne by the struggling classes in this grand

ALEX ANDRIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 81.

Two BILLS have been introduced into the
Virginia Legislature relative to the STATE
Board of Medical Examiners which demahu
more than passing notice. one OF .ne'o
looks to the repeal of the law provioing
such board. and the other to exemptlng
from passing before it the graduates OF cur
State Medical schools. The latter appears
n have bsen stimulated by petition from
the students of the Richmond Medical Col
lege. and both have elected from the presi-
dent and secretary OF the State Board OF
Examiners, as mentioned in our Richmond
letter of the 18th, circular in stout opposi
ton. Neither of these bills should become
laws. Leaving the doctors themselves TO
yisdicate the advantages to their profession
of a sufficiently high standard Of admission
to its ranks, we speak for the people on
who M the doctors have 10 practice. Iney
demand and they are entitled TO the utmost
practicable protection from incompetent
practitioners. 1t is not enough for man to
have medical diploma from an Institution
which depends on the favor of the public
and may be betrayed las many VIGOROUSLY
are) into giving diplomas unworthily. Be
sides such diploma, every candidate for
practice should have to pass an examina
ton before competent and disinterested
men who are wholly independent of any
college The public suffers too much alrea.
dy from malpractice to be willing to relin-
qush any reasonable existing safe guard
against it, In fact, examination by State
board is good thing every way. 1t tends
to stimulate the medical schools, to elevate
the profession and to protect the public
Why graduates OF State schools should be
exempted from it, and, still more, why they
should desire such exemption, is thing
cannot understand At any rate We trust
such desire may be disappointed, and, as its
expression Gu the part of the Richmond COL
legs students seems confession, on their
part, of weakness, we are surprised that it
has been formulated.

TIE RICH owners of coal mines and coke
furnaces are petitioniug Congress against
the proposed removed CT the tax on coal.
But all the poor people OF the country want
the tax removed from coal; and the prevail

high price of coal-may suggest to the MEM
bers of Congress while on their way from
their comfortable hotels to the comfortable
Capitol, that the want referred to is at least
worthy of little consideration.

REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATION.-1n
July, 1879, Mr.. W. B. Metcafe, then living
on farm in Central Pennsylvania, while
working behind team ofhorses was kicked
on the forehead by one of the animals, and
for some time suffered intense pain. A
local physician was called and upon ex
animation declared that the skull was not
fractured. but that he had received a severe
shock. This physician applied some salve
to the wound and said that in q short time
the sufferer would be well but that proved
to be g wrong prediction. Mr.. Metcalfe suf-
fered acute pain for several months and the
december following was taken to DR.. D.
Hayes Agnew, the n5ted Philadelphia
surgeon, who pronounced it an extraordi-
nary case of necrosis of the bone, and in
formed his patient that all of that portion of
the skull covered by the kick of the horses
hoof would have to be removed in order to
relieve him of the pain and to effect any
thing like permanent cure. he was taken
to the hospital at the University of Penn
sylvsnia, and there the operation was per
formed by DR.. Agnew and others A part
of the skull, oblong in shape, 6 inches in
length and a. inches wide, was removed,
exposing tue DTeln Toul hoout iucGes
above the eyebrows to the back of his head.
The exposed portion was trepanned, and
in few months MIR. Metcalfe left the hos
pita we'll man. Since that time he
has not been Inconvenience in any way by the
loss of almost third OF his skull Mr.. Metcslfe
few days ago, allowed the trepan to be removed
and tho wound exposed fer examination. Tho
most noticeable part of the wound is the large ex
tent of durl mater exposed, and its tendency to
form bone at the outer edges The scalp has
thoroughly healed and has become attached to the
dura mater, thereby forming a complete protoc
ton to the brain, whose pulsation can be plainly
of tbs vision in the left eye his general physical
condisioa is as good as it ever was and his gener
al health was never better than at the present
time The physicians who have examined Mr..
Metcalfes head claim it to be one of the most ex-
traordinary surgical operations ever performed,
and only wonder that the man lived to endure it

The CONTINUED strikes of the cigar makers
in New York induced the manufacturers to
offer prize for q machine that would lessen
the demand for hand labor 10 that industry.
The result has been that man named
Smaltz has invented a machine that will

and so simple that girl of ten years old can
be taught to iun it in an hour. Another

THE PROPOSED voluntary exodus OF the
>olored people from the South to Central
America will amount to nothing. The con-
dilicn of the SouSheFn colored people is not
rs happy Us it Was before the war, but it is
still good enough to induce them to stay
Where they are. rather than seek to better
in foreign lands-to bear the ills they have,
nan fly to others that they know not of.
Then, too, it is stated that certain rich col.
ored men are to supply the entire cost of
the exodus referred to. The colored men
of this country VINO have become rich must
necessarily be possessed of good deal Of
common sense, and are therefore entirely
too "smart"to be investing their hard earned
money in any such Improbable scheme.
The fate of the negro in this country is an
unsolved problem. but it is certain that he
will remain in the South as long as the
white people thereof will allow him to stay.
