WOMEN IN MEDICINE.
No Direction in Which Female Aptitude
Can Find Greater Usefulness.

No Direction in Which Female Aptitude
Can Find Greater Usefulness.
Itcan not any longer be said that wo-
mans sphere is limited to mere house
hold economies, and that the employ
ment of her skill and ability has no re-
lation to the happiness and comfort OF
the world at large. Perhaps there is no
direction in which her particular apti-
tudes can find greater usefulness than
in connection with medicine and sur
gerry. While it is scarcely forty years
since the first woman graduate in medi-
cine received diploma in this country,
the number of female practitioners in
medicine is every year on the increase,
and not u few of them have obtained high
rank in the profession. We find women
in all our hospitals eQuipping themselves
not merely as nurses, but for the service
of humanity as experts in the healing
art, and the facilities for medical train
ing are constantly increasing.
A most significant movement in this
direction is that which has taken shape
in connection with the Johns Hopkins
University and Hospital. The some-
what straitened financial condition of
prominent women of the country the
possibility of contributing to its relief,
and at the same time Fastening the es-
tablishment of a medical school in
which the benefits of the highest medi-
cal training shall be afforded. To this
end they propose to raise the sum of $500, =
900, which is to he given to the trustees on
the distinct condition that women whose
previous training has been equivalent
to that Of an ordinary preliminary medi-
cal course shall bs admitted to the in
stitution on precisely the same terms as
men. Committees are at work in six of
the principal cities, including Boston
and San Francisco, and considerable
contributions have already been made
to the furtherance of the movement. 1t
is not designed that this medical school
shall take the place of the ordinary
schools for women now in existence
but that it shall supply opportunities
for that advanced medical training
which they are now obliged to seek in
foreign schools. The prominence of the
ladies engaged in this enterprise. to-
gether with the obvious desirableness
of the school proposed, leave no room
for doubt that it will be successful.
We can see no reason why women
should not be admitted on an equality
with men in all our educational institu-
tions, of whatever character. Whatever
woman is able to do we'll and efficiently
without sacrifice of the primal relation
which she holds to society, she should
be permitted to do and helped to do.
Since her influence is the supreme
factor in every great moral reform, and
is rapidly becominga prime influence In
all social progress, it certainly is desir-
able that no obstacle should be placed
in the way of the largest possible utili-
cation of her capacities. es.-Frank Leslie's

Wrong Ideas OF Moral Traininr.

Moral training has yet to be organized
and systematized before it can be carried
on with efficiency on large scale, and
this will not be done until its impor.
tance is more fully felt than at present.
1t is taken for granted, in a loose kind
of way, that good character will come
of itself to most people. No one sup.
poses that knowledge comes of itself,
that mental power can be gained with.
out trouble, that trade or profession
can be successfully pursued without
previous systematic preparation. Yet
all or any OF these are more possible
than that character worthy of respect
and admiration should spring up with
out being built, or without either care
or knowledge on the part of the builder
of tho materials he uses or the way in
which to combine tnem.-N. Y. Ledger.

The Lottery Worl.srs.

New ORLEANS, June 1.-THE COM
mittee to which was referred the lottery
bill did not report it back the House
yesterday, owing to the alleged sickness
of Shattuck, the author of the bill, and
member of the committee. The antis
believe it is lottery dodge to evade
bringing their bill up until they can
buy some more votes. An infla mmatory
address issued by the lottery bo sses to
the negroes of East Feliciana parish was
sent into the parish by negro named
George Swazee. Swazee had left there
some years ago under a charge of mur-
der, and Sunday evening he was cap.
tured and hanged by masked men.

REPoRToRIAL ENTERPRISE.

road Station Late at Night.
OThe reporter who has been an opera
tor has decided advantage in getting
his copy to the Office by telegraph. A
year or two ago one who had knowl-
edge of telegraphy was sent to Dobbs
Ferry late at night on an extremely inn
portant affair. He arrived there at
eleven o'clock, had to drive a considera-
BILE distance from the station, and it was
one a. m. when he returned to the depot.
The last train had gone and the tele-
graph office closed long time before.
A watchlnan or track walker at the
depot said that the operator lived mile
and half away, and that he was i'll
anyhow, and that there was no possi-
bility of sending any thing by wire that
night.
When the watchman had ebligingly
taken walk up the track the writer
tried the office window, found the catch
rather loose, and with the thin blade of
a pocket-knife soon removed the fasten-
ing. To open the window, crawl in and
connect the wires in the switch board
was the work of a moment. IN. "
was called and raised, and the loop to
the newspaper Office asked for. Twelve
hundred words were sent in before two
o'clock, without copy, it being necessary
for lack of time to compose the story
it was telegraphed on the key. This
was done in the dark for fear the watch
man would see a light and come back
and shoot the reporter for burglary.

porter went outside, closed the window
and spent the remainder of the night
gazing at the moon and throwing peb-
bles in the Hudson-The Message.

LINCOLN, Neb., June II. AT 4:30
o'clock Monday morning terrific tor
nado struck this city, damaging proper
ty to the extent of 100000. Several
splendid brick blocks were leveled to
the ground, but no lives were lost A
funnel-shaped cloud dipped down at
Eighteenth and o streets, and after
wreclSing houses for two blocks rose
again in the air and disappeared. Ken
nelly's three-story brick block and the
Kitchen and Hardenbugh blocks adioin-
ing were unroofed. Buffers block across
the street was blown away.
The Bailey block, a three-story brick
just completed, was leveled to the
ground, crushing a cottage in its fall
Another block belonging to Bailey on
the opposite side of the street and two
story frame building belonging to James
Morley were also demolished. The fam
lily of r. e. Hafer were caught in the
ruins of the frame building, but received
no serious injury. The two-story brick
buildings belonging to Mr.. Clarke were
entirely destroyed. Nearly all the
buildings were unoccupied, which ac-
counts for the absence of fatalities.

an eight-foot lance which was close by
me, started to have a look az the mon

and check shirt and trousers on, and q
pair of braces to keep them up. The
negro had his cutlass and we ascended
the hill; another negro, armed with a
'cutlass, joined us, judging from our pace
that there was something to do. The lit

got about half mile in the forest, the

cautiously. At last 1 made the snake
out; it was not poisonous, but large
enough to have crushed any of US to
death.
On ascertaining the size of the serpent,
i retired slowly the way l came, and
promised four dollars to the negro who
had shown it to me, and one to the 9TH
'er who had joined us. Aware that the
day was on the decline, and that the
approach of night would be detrimental
to the dissection, thought that would
take it alive. l imagined, if 1 could
strike with the lance behind the
head and pin him to the ground,
might succeed in capturing him. When
l told this to the negroes, they begged
and entreated me to let them go for n
gun and bring more force, as they were
sure the snake would kill some of us;
but | had been in search of 4 large SER
pent for years, and now having come up
with one, it did not become me to
turn soft. So, taking cutlass from one
of the negroes, and then ranging both
the sable slaves behind me, told them
to follow me and that would cut them
down il they offered to fly.
When we got up to the place, the
serpent had not stirred. I could see
nothing of its head, and I judged by
the folds of its body that it must be at
the furthest side of his den. A species
of woodbine had formed complete
mantle over the branches of the fallen
cree, almost impervious to the rain or
ahe rays of the sun. Probably the
