Attorney Thomas has rendered an opin-
ion sustaining the plea of Dr. J. A Maloney.
a practicing physician of the District, for
registration inder the new medical practice

The new law went into operation June

be entitled to certifcation under the terms
OF the act without an examination and

OF the health office when the list ca M. to

law, being an essential, the board of metii-
cal supervisors were in doubt about the
propriety OF issuing certificate and fter
considerable discussion, some OF il by at
turneyS before the Commissioners the mat

District.
Health Officer Woodward filed a letter
in the case III which lie stated that from
his personal knowledge DR.. MalOney had
been recognized as practicing physician
prior to the adoption Of the ne W law. and
also expressing the belief that the omjs-
sion OF his name from the register was
due to a mistake. for which the annIica nj
was not responsible.
Attorney Thomas says that upon tho
facts reDorted by the health officer his
opinion is that DR.. Maloney is entitled tn

GOSSIP.

How frequently is the honesty and
integrity of mao disposed of by a
smile OF shrug! How many good
and generous actions have been shrunk
into oblivion by distrustful look or
stamped with the imputatioD OF pro-
oeediug from bad motives. by myste-
rious aud seasonable whisper! Look into
companies Of those whose gentle natures
companies Of those whose gentle natures
should disarm them. we shall fod DO
better account. How often does the
reputation o: helpless creature bleed
by report-which the party who is at
the pains to propagate it beholds with
much pity and fellow feeling-that she
is heartily sorry for hopes in God
it is not true-however, as Archbishop
Tillotson wittily observes upon it. is
resolved 10 the meantime 10 give the
report her pass. that at least it may
have fair play to take its fortune 10 the
world to be believed or not, according
to the charity of those into whose hands
it shall happen TO fall.-Addison.
