WHEN young man Charles Bradlaugh was
strong believer in christianity and member
of Bible class in the parish Sunday school,
While thus studying the Bible he came across
one or two apparent contradictions, and went
to the rector for light. But the rector was
stern man Of the old school, and instead of
helping the young man out of his difficulty re-
buked him severely for daring to find any diff
Guilty in Gods book, and advised him to believe
everything he read in it without asking any
questions. The advice was we'll meant, but was
the worst that could have been given in this
case. The young man at once quit studying
the Bible or believing in it, and the rest of his
career is known to the public.

PIG-EYED PETE, who has been a we'll. known
character around Atchison, Kan, for several
years, returned yesterday from California,
where he has been preaching. Pig Eye was
converted by the Salvation Army at Atchison,

the head OF the column. de says
that he converted as high as
twenty sinners in night in California
and frequently his collections amounted to So
day. He has faro outfit in Atchison which he
desires to dispose of, then he will return to
California. He says that by the time lie gets
back his sinners will be ready for repentance
again and he will save them. He is now arrang-
ing circuit over which he will travel once a
year. The average revival sinner backslides
once year Pig Eye THINKS and he will travel
his circuit by easy stages and snatch them as

THERE has been a remarkable change of
public OPINION said female physician of New
York city, ''in regard to the practice of med
cine by women. We used to be frowned upon
by responsibility, ridcued by the papers, and
scorned by the regular faculty. We were told
that we had no right to intrude in the profes-
sion, that we were unfit for it, that we could
never learn its mysteries, that the law
would be invoked against us. and that
nobody would employ Us. The medical schools
| for women were small and poorly equipped,
and it was hard to get the right kind of profess.
OrS for them But we were not discouraged by
obstacles and worked our way along till the
classes grew from half dozen students to a
| dozen or more. Things are changed now The
| old and violent prejudices against us havs dis.
appeared. There must BE- over fifty regular
| practitioners of our sex in the city, and some
! of them have incomes of $4,000 year. They
are favored by many wealthy families, and the
result of their practice is the best test of its
merit They are as well educated as their
| masculine rivals, many of whom are ready to
hold consultations with them. Look at the
women's medical college just opened in Fiji
| teenth street, with its chemical, phySiolo2 ical
and astrological laboratories, and its body of
professors. Its course of study is three years
and it has nearly hundred students. who have
come here from all over the union. This looks
like progress, and l believe that in fiftv wears
there will be as many doctors OF our sex as of
the other"
APRoPos Of the rebuff which the monk of
Llanwelly, Father Ignatius, received in New
York a lady correspondent, in writing to the
Inquirer says: Il must tell you of funny in
cident that occurred at a south coast village
not far from BouTnemouth. A friend of mine
had occasion to send her cook, q faithful but
rather initerate country woman into the
neighboring market to make some
purchases, which had been forgotten
earlier in the day. II was some time
before cooky returned, and on her mistress asK-
ing the reason of her being SO late she said.
