WOMEN as DOCTORS.
Forty of Them Graduate from a Phila.
delphia College.

From the Philadelphia Times
The Women's Medical College of this
city graduated forty physicians last week.
Forty years ago there was no opportunity
for woman to graduate as a physician in
any institution OF our country; and even
twenty years ago a woman physician was
next to freak in her community and con-
temptuously frowned upon by the profess
sion. Now forty women are graduated
from one institution in day, and there is
a general popular welcome Of the softer sex
| to the practice Of medicine.
There is not only no reason why women
should not be physicians, but there are
many and pressing reasons why they should
practice medicine. While there are few
things in the practice that they might not
be as well adapted to as men, they are
quite as well adapted to even the excep-
tional duties referred TO as male physicians
| are to many delicate duties they now per-
form for women without complaint In
large majority of the ailments to which
| humanity is subject, women physicians,
with equal intelligence and skill, are GER
tainly the equals of men III professional
usefulness, and there are many complaints
of their own sex which should especially
OO-AL AistAA0 lAAt SCI FIOeS VI NOuleil DlNSl-
clans.
The world has advanced with wonderful
rapidity during the last half century in
the recognition of the rights and capablli-
ties OF women. 1t is only forty-two years
since married women in Pennsylvania had
no right over even their own property ac-
quired by either inheritance or their own
labor, and they were then practically I'M
known as clerks and saleswomen; were
little known as teachers, and the profess
sions were regarded as entirely beyond
their reach. Now the world has learned
that woman is entitled to just an even
chance in every calling to which she is at
all adapted, and in medicine, law and
science she is now teacher and practitioner.
The old prejudice against unsexing women
by giving them any opportunity outside of
the kitchen, the laundry and the nursery
was the creation of unmixed ignorance,
and to-day the only just complaint that
women can make is against the yet preva-
lent custom of paying women less than
men are paid for precisely the same serv-
ice. Women are quite as refined now as
they were when unknown in the great bat
ties of life, and the whole tendency of the
age is toward the only manly theory of
giving women fair play all round.

be put out by steam than by hand. The

Philadelphia, kind of desert place, with
cobble-stones in the middle and bonded
warehouses all around and old stations and
shops. When the steam engine from the
West threw a noble stream of water
through the air, making the squirt nozzles
of the volunteer hremen seem ridiculous.
instead of generous cheer rising up from
the 10000 people assembled around, there
was universal boot. Property was of
slight account; public decency was not to
be considered if the fire boys were to be
respected. The firemen had their own in
surance association and put their signet
upon every building insured in the Fire
Association, so that in case of burning
they could save their own property
At last the City Councils resolved to
pass the law which had been passed in
other cities, making an economical and a
paid fire department instead of this
mighty rifi-raff OF volunteers, whose pa
rades every two or three years were the
great anniversaries of the city, of more
consequence than Westinghouse Birthday
or the Fourth of July. You would some
times see more than 200 engines ard hose
carriages in line, with sometimes 1000
men attached to each machine. The FIRE
rowdies, who filled the galleries OF the City
Councils, hooted the Councilmen as they
voted for the new department. The new
law speedily retired them. No doubt the
physical exercise of that sort of thing de-
veloped some traits not to be despised but
it was fearful waste of material One of
the most useful men to attack the old Vol
unteer Fire Department was Henry Wat

The Rest Enolish

After listening to English, real and al
legged, under various suns, and in places
and provinces far apart, within and with
out the United States, we feel moved to
conclude that the best English-shall we
say in the world ?-is spoken in the North
ern Mississippi Valley-that part Of the
east by the Allegheny Mountains, west by
the Rockies, north by Canada, south by
Mason and Dixon's line. What Not
excepting Boston? No; because at a GER
tain convention held recently we heard an
educational chief from Boston say, ''This.
is the soSs of all evil" And how about
the imperial city Of New York? Well,
the children in her schools pronounce
"murmur," "muymuy;" ''bird,h ''boid;'
murder" "muyder;" "park," "pawk;" and
at the conversation aforesaid several New
York gentlemen repeatedly invited atten-
ton tn the glories of ''the imperial State
of New Yolk'
Ia the Quaker city, too, there are Pc
culiarities of pronunciation, really charm
ing Notwithstanding somewhat of
course, upon the complexion, general APP
pearanee and viyacity of the speaker
but, nevertheless, the pronunciation is not
according to Webster nor Worcester. "No"
is now" ''go," "gow;;" "road," ''roud;"
''boat," ''bout;;D 'day," "dahee;" arain, p
''raheen," etc.
Getting down to Washington, one would
expect to find correct pronunciation -four
ishing luxuriantly, but the influence of the
South is plainly OBSERVABLE in the speech
Of the natives. 1.-TWO dollahs," "Conah of
H and Foteenth Streets" "Majah Bags
stock" Eyes, ah,"-these and similar ex-
pressions can be heard at every street
corner.
So We return to our original proposition
that, upon the whole, the people of the
Upper Mississippi valley speak the best
English. But, here too, there are con-
spicuous defects. Such words as calf, half,
and laugh are pronounced with an exasp-
Grating fatness on the sound of a. Then,
too-but here it will be wise to stop, lest,
peradventure, we might endanger the sta
bility OF our proposition.-T Topeka Kansas

Perhaps the best known clock in the
United States is that which surmounts the
old Estate House" in Independence square,
Chestnut street, Philadelphia. Itwas made
by one Seneca Lukens, Quaker watchma-
ker, who, in his old age, lived in Horsham
township, Bucks county, Pa, and whose
custom it was to go to the city once year
and wind up and lubricate the old time
piece, until he died at an advanced age,
about 1851. This ancient clock is the
companion of the Liberty Bell" which
was rung on the occasion of the Declara-
ton of Independence, July 4. 1776, in the
room on the ground floor fronting on Chest
nut street, or the left OF the main hall. A
much larger clock is to ornament the
tower of the new public building In the
same city. The bell of this is to weigh
nearly $4,000 pounds, and in it the famed
Westminster chimes will be used, ringing
in the quarter, half. three-quarters and
hour. The dial of this immense time
piece will be twenty-five feet in diameter
and three hundred and fifty-one feet above
the street. The minute hand will be
twelve feet and the hour hand nine feet
long, and the dial face, at night, will be
Illuminated by electricity, so that the time
may be observed in any part OF the city.
