Unhtness of Women for Doctors In In
sane Asylums and Elsewhere.
RIoHmosD. January 4. 1892.


RICHMOND, January 4. 1892.
To he Members Of tie Legislature:
find in a late editorial you take very
decided ground in favor Of female doctors
in the insane asglums Of the State. With
your permission / desire to discuss this
subject with you or any OF your numerous
correspondents under four heads.-to wit:
Historically, Politically. Morally, and
Scripturally. / propose. II you please. to
write one article under each or these heads
and 1t shall be brief as possible.
1. This movement Is new and comes
from q section fond of novelties and isms,
many of them already tried and exploded.
We think ourselves wiser than our fathers.
Paul's morals are not comprehended By
one tenth of the Christian world The
Christian women in his day were alive to
good works. Yet we hear OF no doctors
among them. Our late distinguished DR..
Etrlbling would turn in his cofiin at this
new idea. 1t was not one of his dreamed
wants, much less felt wants." No medi-
cal staff OF an insane asylum ever sug-
men have superior endowment for
this new and untried field / said in q
publication year ago on another subject
that not one woman in fifty Is qualified
TO be doctor.n Not that they want sense.
Their minds are quick. but doctor must
have strong nerves and never lose his
head, as it may be death to the patient.
From all can learn this. new departure
comes from suspicion that some one or
too doctors in charge of these asylums have
not been as pure as they should be. Not
one In ten nor one in fifty, only one or
two all told. The betrayal BY Judas on
this ground should have caused the Cos
pel TO be taken from men and given to
women. SO also as there IL now anil then
base preacher, the Gospel should
be committed to women. What could be
more absurd There Is in ell asylums head
female nufse who under the direction OF the
doctor can get from the insane woman all
the information that female doctor could
get. They are in constant attendance on
the patients and generally get their conh-
The boards Of directors in making se-
Iections Of physicians must use greater
care than heretofore and get good Chris

To me Editor Of tbs Dispatch.

To ne Editor of tbs Dispdich:
A rents B o farm for the year 1891 for the
sum of 1925. b sub-rents q part of the
land to G for one fourth OF the crop. Be-
fore the end OF the year A finds that there
will not be enough In the hands of b TO
satisfy his rent. Has A the right to Dis
train ali of C's crop to salty his (A's) rent.
or Just the one fourth that Q agreed TO give
BIZ j. W. X.
The whole crop Of the under tenant upon
the leased premises referred to In the
above query is subject to distress for rent
due by the original tenant. The Code of
Virginia, 1887. section 2791, provides that
"the distress may be levied upon any
goods of the lessee, or his assignee. or under
tenant found on the premises. or which may
have been removed therefrom not more
than thirty days"
The fact that the rent is payable in
part Of the crop does not change the law,
which permits all of the goods OF the
under tenant on the premises to be dis
trained for rent due by the original
tenant.
The crop, or three fourttS Of it. belongs
to the under tenant. 1t is his goods. and
therefore may be DISTRACTED as'above set
forth. If an under tenantswishes u escape
such liability he must make an agreement
for the purpose with the owner Of the
land.

Ayers

CO. Lepper. Druggist, Fort Wayne, Ind,
writes: my lifttc sister, four years Of age,
was 30 III from bronchitis thatwe had almost
gwen up hope Of her recovery. Our family
physician. . skilful man and OF large expert
ence. pronounced Il useless to give her any
more medicine, saying he had done all II was
possible 70 do, and We must prepare for the
worst. As . last resort We determined 70
try Ayers Cherry Pectoral, and ! can tfuiy
say, with most happy results. After taking
q few doses she seemed to breathe easier.
and, within week, was out OF danger. we
continued giving the Pectoral until safisned
she was entirely well. This indispntaoie
evidence Of the great merit OF Ayers Cherry
Pectoral has given me unbonnded conn.,

10 ne Editor Of ne Dispdichs
n one man rents from another house
And lot. With garden and orchard and pas
fr,Ye attached, containing Ia all say about
ten acres. for succession of years, and
the Yeutor Keeps several horses and COWS
and apulies as much Of the manure made
from his cattle to the rented premises -
n necessary and moves oil the manure not
needed on the rented promises 70 his own
land close by. when the renter leaves the
leased house and lot can the landlord de-
mand payment for the manure that has
been thus removedf n r. ..
If tho manure referred to in the above
query was made on the ten acres Of lard In
the ordinary course Of husbandry-that b
TO say, by the ANIMALS which cultivated or
psstursd it--then the tenant had no right
TO remove the manure from the leased
premises. II he 90 removed It he u liable
to his landlord for the value Of the manure
removed within the past ave years. The
statute Of limitations sppliesto all manure
removed prior to that time.
But IL the tenant kept a livery-stable.
or dairy, or animals which did not Guilt
vate or pasture tho land or eat the pro-
duoe thereof. and purchased large quanti-
ties Of food for such stock, we think, In
that case, he would have the right to re-
move the manure made by such stock from
the leased premises.
The object of the law IL to prevent an
undue impoverishment of the land. The
law will not therefore permit the removal
of manure from the leased premises which
was made from feed produced on the
land, or from feed purchased for the use
Of the animals which cultivated or pas
tured the land in the ordinary course Of
husbandry. 1t Is the policy Of the law
that this manure so made shall remain on
the land for its improvement.
The law on the subject can be found in
the Code of 1897, section N79, which reads:
IF tenant at will OF for years, without
a special license so to do. remove. by sale
or otherwise, from the leased premises
manure made thereon IN he ordinary course
Of husbandry. consisting Of ashes, bleached
or unbleacbed, collections from stables.
barn-yard, csttle-pens, or other places on
the leased premises, or composts formed
by an admirture of these or any of them
with the soil or other substances, such re-
moval shall be deemed waste within the
provisions of the preceding sections of this
chapter"
The preceding sections referred to pro-
vide for the recovery of damages by the
owner to the extent of the injury, and In
the event tina. the act was done wantonly
they provide for the recovery OF damages
three times greater than the injury done.

sour Dead Dundee"

To me Editor of he Dispatch:
Can you tell me who said, 20 for an
hour Of our dead Dundee?" Also the cir
cumstances that called the words forth? In
what history or book will / find them
NV acquaintance with Dundee Is princi-
pally from Sir Walter SCOTS "Old Nor
talityn in which as "Claverhouse he is
mentioned and IN Macaulay's History Of
England. Where can learn more Of him !
II. I. b.
CLAEKsvILLF. Va.
Graham OF Claverhouss. yiseount Dun
dee was the hero of Killiecrankie, q
fighter after Stonewall Jackson's own
heart. He led the Highland clans in 1889
against the troops engaged for the cause
of William and Mary, but fell in the mo-
ment of victory. The opposing general,
who expected rout and pursuit when
he saw the Highlands waver. exclaimed:
Their leader is killed. Dundee Is no
more.n The words which have become
historical in connection with Dundee
were probably first used by Gordon OF
Glenpucket at the battle of Sherifmuir.
Lord Mar having exhibited want Of en-
erey there -"Oh, for an hour OF Dundeel"
See Mahon's History of England, Volume
/. page 1874. subsequently the words
were variously used by balladists and
poets, and appear In one OF Woods
worth's sonnets.
"Oh, for Q single hour OF that Dundee
Who on that day the word OF onset eaveI"
Sec American edition Of wor dsworth by
Reed. Philadelphia. page 2A5.
Childs Harold, canto 4, stanxs II. face
tiously writes:
"oh, for . single hour Of that Dundolo,
The octosensrtan chief. BY Zsnthimue
Conquering foel"
The words attrib utsd BY Mahon to Glen
bucket may be found in the columns OF
the Richmond Examiner, though we have
searched in vain for them. They have been
expanded and, We think, improved. 81
thus:
.oh, for one hour Of the dead Dundeei"
It's supposed that the late John NJ.
Daniel, who YVES well read In British
history, applied these words to stonewali
jackson upon the occasion Of the defeat of
Lee q Gettysburg.

made a strong bid for the support Of the very
class which had been the backbone Of the TIL
man movement
The conservative papers-there are twice as
many Of that faith as Of the Tillman persuasion
took up these arguments and rubbed them in.
Gov. Tillman was clearly upon record, and
after brief period Of silence he had to meet
these issues. which he did by advocating quail
fed suffrage and the increased poll tax as
measures to bar ont negro votes and make
negroes contribute to the support of the
schools. But these arguments have not helped
him much. Thousands Upon Thousands Of his
former supporters have left him on account of
these policies, and many Tillmanite candidates
for the legislature have been forced to declare
against them. The conservatives have been Sc
curing larger and larger proportions of the
crowds at each successive meeting. their men
actually outnumbering the Tillmanites at some
Of the Tillman strongholds. The Sheppard
men had played a card which would have been
a sure winner in a longer game. With one
month more Of campaigning their success
would be certain, but they have barely ten
days left. The whole question now is whether
TIllmanite msjorities Of 200 or 800 in each Of
dozen counties can be wiped out by conserva-
tive recruits by the 30th instant. In my judg-
ment when the day of election comes it will be
a toss up between the two tickets. The con-
servatives think they now only lack about forty
votes Of having a majority in a convention Of
$40. The Hllmanites claim that they will sweep
nearly every county.
There Is q very curious situation az to the
third party movement, which I shall have to
discuss in another letter.
