THE MEDICAL CoLLEGE.-We are glad TO
learn that the prospects of the College for
the session which viii open next week are
decidedly encouraging. But for the INJURY
which the crops have suffered from The un-
paralleled drought, o natural effect Of which
has been to impair seriously The ability OF
many young men to meet the expense of q
medical education, the increase in the size
Of the class would no doubt have been con-
siderable but as it is there are indications
Of a gratifying addition to the numbers OF
the last session. The College certainly pre-
sents fair claims to such increase Of patron
age. The organization of the Faculty Is
now more complete, and the facilities for
practical instruction more varied than at
any former period. Clinical lectures will be
regularly delivered on medicine, surgery,
diseases of women and children, and dis
eases Of the eye and ear. The present i'm
proved condition of the College Hospital
will materially enlarge the field for this most
valuable kind Of instruction.


With our State Legislature once more Sit
ting in the old capitol, and the Agricultu-
raj Fair again displaying its wonders and
bringing together the solid men OF the State,
Richmond will present attractions during
the ensuing season of which for some time
past she has not been able to boast; While
as it regards the expense Of living, stu
dent Of the most moderate means will ind
nothing to complain of, as he can readily
obtain board ut prices ranging from twenty
to thirty dollars per month.

NEW PAyrNG.-The granite macadamizcd
paving put down on Franklin between
Eighth and Ninth streets is to be rolled flat
with tiye-ton roller, now being manufac-
tured for the city, and to be completed in
few days The roadway will, it is thought,
be as firm and as good to travel on as the
granite block pavement on Main street.
As it stands now, without rolling, it is simply
nuisance to those who drive over it and to
the neighbOrhood.

RETURN GAaE OF BAsE-BALL.-The Pas

propriated to the worthy object Of caring
for the scattered remains Of the Confederate
dead. The Pastime Of Baltimore is one Of

The Medical College of Middlesex,
Massachusetts,, having for long time
considered the influence of public
schools OH the health of children, au.
thorized the publication of the follow
ing facts as the opinion of its men,
bers:


l. No child shall be allowed to attend
school before the beginning of his sixth
year.


=. The duration of daily attendance
including the time given to recess and
physical exercises-should not exceed
four and a half hours for the primary
school; five ard half for other schools.


3. There should be no study required
out Of school-unless at High School /;
and this should not exceed one hour.


4. Recess-time should be devoted to
play outside of the school. l.room-un less
during stormy weather-and Is this
time rightfully belongs to the pupils,
they shonld not be deprived of it except
for serious otfenses; and those who are
not deprived Of it should not be all lowed
to spend it in study; no child should
ever DO confined to the school-room
during an entire session, and in primary
schools there should be more than one
recess in each session.


5. Physical exercise should be used in
school to prevent nervous and muscular
fatigue and to relieve moaotony, but
not as muscular training. 1t should be
practiced by both teacher and children
in every hour not broken by recess, and
should be timed by music. In primary
schools every halfhour should be broken
by exercise, recess or singing.


6. Ventilation should be amply pro-
vided for by other means than by open
windows, though these should be used
in addition to special means during re-
cess and exercise time.


I. Lessons should be scrupulously ap-
portioned to the average capacity of
the pupils; and in primary schools the
slate should be used more and the book
less; and the instruction be given as
much as possible on the principle of
"obiect teaching

The Mississippi "Loysl Leaguers" are
calling loudly on Senator WILSON to
come into their State and save. the negro
vote to the Radical ticket. 1t seems
the black brother is getting rather OBJ
streperous on their hands, and they fear
his perversity will carry him to such a
length that he will vote for DENT.
Something must be done and that right
speedily, and so in their extremity they
invoke the Massachusetts, Senator to
come to the rescue. Their consterna-
tion is rendered more amusing by their
explanation, that they haven't any doubt
of ALcoRN's election, even if DENT
should get a good share of black votes,
but they deem it important for future
elections to keep the colored voters
united and within the fold of the Re-
publican party"


We are heartily glad these Radical
people are getting surfeit of negro
suffrage. They never would have
dreamed of giving the ballot to the
black, had they not supposed they
could control his vote for all time to
come. So supposing, they forced the
measure through, against the better
judgment of the whole country and over
the protest Of the people of the South.
They now realize that the negro is as
likely to ke controlled by one party as
another, and when he is controlled by
Democrats he is that much strength
they never would have had but for the
'1oyal" policy of epfranchising him. By
the time two or three more elections
have been bad in the South, the Radi-
calls will have learned fine lesson on
the subject of placing the ballot in i'm
proper hands, merely because they think
| they can control those who WELD it.

some "loyap rascal who makes profes-
sion of economy the cover for private

the prop0siinr involves an unwarranted
expenditure OF public funds. But if the
idea were to fit out another Tallapoosa
expedition to carry a gang of Govern
ment bummers on some junketing and
frolicing tour, we should not hear of the
slightest opposition. It's all right to
squander the public funds in enabling
a lot Of registering Radicals to splurge

peoples money for tue encouragement
of any branch of industry is not to be

A farmers mode of trying leaf lard,
one which produces few scraps, is to
add to every ten pounds of rough lard q
tablespoonful of salaratus during the
process of trying-out. We have tried
the experiment, and can speak from our

pounds of lard there was less than a
quarter of pound of scrap waste.

To Purify Lard from Salt, which it
often contains, and which is sometimes
added to increase its weight, it is only
necessary to melt it with two or three
times its weight of boiling water, and
when still in 0 liquid state, agitate it
we'll and set il aside to cool. When lard
is wanted for ointments or pomades, it
is always desirable to freeit from all
traces of salt. #E.E

There is growing feeling of indigna-
ton in this community at the utter dis.
regard, not only of decency, but of all
our laws, recently exhibited by the
Chinese 1t is horrible to reflect that
politicians are pursuing q course that
renders it even possible for these crea-
lures to obtain share in our govern
ment-perhaps controlling interest in
our elections. For long time past they
have exhibited peaceful, almost a sub
missive spirit, rarely committing any
graver offense than pilfering exposed
trifes; but suddenly they have changed
their conduct, and for months past the
courts have been burdened with investi-
cations of their crimes--investigations
that come to nought, for these people
have no regard for the sanctity of an
oath, and perjure themselves by the
wholesale. They have introduced into
our Christian city all the barbarous prac-
tees of their native land-they do not
hesitate to hatch conspiracies, abduct
and assassinate, and, what is worse, they
employ an organized band of braves to
slay their enemies or rivals, and gauge
the reward according to the punish
ment that may be inflicted upon them.
A Chineman can be paid to assassinate,
even with the death penalty staring him
in the face, and can ceoly stipulate for
the price of his neck to be paid to his
relatives in case he is hung.


Although cowardly race, when pitted
man against man in mortal fight, yet do
they display the most extraordinary stol-
idity and indifference when execution is
about to be done upon them. In their
own country line of fifty criminals,
condemned to be decapitated, will sink
upon their knees without coercion, bend
their heads forward so as to expose their
necks, and stoieally await the stroke OF
the executioner's sword. They hear the
dull, heavy thud at one end of the line,
and see the ghasty head roll upon the
pavement, without shudder. Some
times the executioner stops midway in
the line to resharpen his sword-they
listen without a tremor, and as he ap-
proaches them closely and their turn
comes next they adjust .heir necks more
conveniently for the stroke. There ia
nothing about this of the spirit that
sometimes actuates Caucasian criminal
"to die game ut is simply british
stolidiiy. Creatures like these once
reused to the commission of crime are
eminently dangerous in community,
for the death that threatens them from
the law has no terrors to restrain them.
II is said they have carried their barbs-
rous practices to such an extent in this
city as to offer large rewards for the
heads of their enemies. What can be
done with such people2 They are
soulless, conscienceless, devilish. Their
vile passions, long kept in restraint from
submission to the moral influence of the
white man, are now breaking forth IN
barbaric fury-they openly defy our
/ laws, and with brszen insolence insult
our civilization. Let US exhaust all the
resources of law to restrain them, and if
they fail, let US advise them to return
home.
