Now, however, the gentlemen waking up to the fact that this are monopoly of the fair sex must be stopped, and are vieing with them in all the details which 80 1 to make up a successful toilet.

This is owing principally to the fact that Mr. Will. N. Bayless, whose establishment on Fourth street, between Main, and Market, is well knows, has been educating our fashionable gentlemen up to this point, and has succeeded in convincing them. He undoubtedly carries the most recherche stock in all the very latest novelties in Dishing goods, neckwear, under-clothing, in town.

OUR STUDENTS. Reception at the Walnut-street tist Church Last Night. A PLEASANT GATHERING. An informal reception was given last night by the members of the Walnut-street Baptist church to the students in the different professional schools of Louisville. By 8 o'clock the spacions lecture-room of this church was crowded by the members, friends and invited guests, Dot less than 300 medical and seventy-five or eighty theological, besides legal and commercial studente, being in sttendance.

The entertainment was introduced and interspersed by music. Rev. Dr. Manly, of the Baptist Theological Seminary, offered prayer. Rev.

Dr. EatoD, the pastor of the church, gave prelude in the way of some very racy and sparkling remarks as to the relation of the different learned professions. He was followed by Dr. m. Bailer, of the Louisville Hospital of Medicine, who congratuiated the scudents upon the superior social advantages the eujoyed over those of former generations in being admitted to the social circles of Louisville.

When he was a student of medicine it was almost an impossible thing for a student to gain admission into the best society of the city. Students need, in their absence from their homes, the influence of good and reflaing society, and receptions like the present ODe would be of great service to them. He urged young men to cultivate their moral Datures, as therein would find their true greatness and greatest happinesa. He did Dot believe that, as a class, inedical men are skeptical as to religion. Some eminent paysiciane have been devotedly pious.

Dr. Bailey was followed by Dr. J. A. Ireland, of the Louisville School of Medicine.

He was glad to meet students of all professions from all parte of the country; was especially gratifed to 800 the ladies. They are in every good work. Dr. Ireland then gave a brief review of the bistory of medicine, bowing that the science of medicine and of theology have in all ages gone band in band, and the preacher and the doctor are musually helpful. He.

too, repudiated the idea that physicians, as class, are unfriendly to religion. Luke, the companion of Paul, and author of two of the books of the Bible, was an eminent phreician. Doctors. a8 rule, are brave men. When all others fly in terror from the ejidemic they go to the relief of their schools should eings, together to build ap a suffering All our professional great reputation for Louisville as an educational center.

The next speaker was Dr. D. W. Yandell, of the Louisville University. He thought the stadents bad come out not so much to be lectured as to get acquainted with the pastor and his congregation.

Students in a large city and away from bome are subject to great temptations. They should be true men, religious men. If they were members of the church st home they should join church bere; go to bool and the prayermeeting as they did before they came here. Dr. Yardell then gave some poinis in the lives of some of the great physicians in Great Britain, putting strong emphasis on their pronounced religious character.

In all Foglish-speaking countries the best men are connected with the church. Men, doctors as well 86 others, who bave the most business to do. bare the most time to go to eburch. Rev. Dr.

Manly said he always obeyed the orders of the pbysicians (when be is sick). Dr. Eaton bad said that the next item on the prozramme, was grace, and handebaking. he boded Well, all that would 18 profit by its Like his departed father, be was ladies all the time. Dr.

Eaton protested against the use of the phrase, "falling 1u love." That is preposterous. People should rise in love. At this point the talking and the handshaking became too general and promiscuous for the reporter's pen, hence the fluis. PROF. TOBIN THIS AFTERNOON.

A negro named Geo. Williams was guilty yesterday of outrageously brutal conduct, should send him up for a long term. He entered the bouse of Annie White, colored, in Congress alley, and set to work to clean out the place. He began by announcing that could lick anything that wore bair, and then waded into the work of demolition. Tackling the woman, he thumped her lively and almost chewed off her thumb.

Lena Knox, an occupant of the house, came to the woman's assistance, when the man struck her blow in the face, knocking out one of her teetb and splitting ber lip. He then dragged Annie White's beby from the cradle and began mopping up the door with it. About this time Officer Wilson arrived and took charge of the He was locked up OD the charge of disorderly conduct. FOR HER HEALTH'S SAKE. Annie Patterson, of color, who Was in the employ of a family on Jefferson street, above Preston, found the family pocket-book in the cupboard yesterday morning, and concluded to take a trip for the benefit of her health.

After purchasing a few articles to complete her traveling outfit, she repaired to the Shortline depot, and was awaiting the departure of a train, when Officer Ragland hove to sight. Thinking that his presence in that locality was not an omen of good luck for ber, she gathered up her bandies and started on a liseig run. As ber load became heavy, she began to distribute her packages along the wayside, but the officer continued to gain on her, and, as a last resort, sbe threw sway the pocket-book. but was finally captured. There will probably be a change route and a new point of destination selected for her.

When the Tronble Begins is the time to grapple with dyspepsia. To allow such a remorseless foe to health and comfort to take undisputed possession of the stomach is to surrender needlessly the zest of life and become a voluntary martyr to unspeakable pains and penalties. No malady is more difficult to cope with, none in its chronic form so obstinately resists medication.

But tackled at its inception with Hostetter' Stomach Bitters, dyspepsia speedily vanishes, carrying with it the multifarious symptoms which attend it, and which, in their chameleon changes, inspire more erroneous beliefs regarding their cause than those of any other disease. Wind on the stomach, hearthurn, water brash, palpitations, pain after eating, a sinking sensation at the pit of the stomach between meals; these and many other barassing indicia of the complaint make speedy exit when the great stomachic is persistently resorted to. It improves the appetite, strengthens the nerves, counteracts the effects of fatigue and exposure, and 18 a reliable antidote to the poison of malaria. je7 Su, ADDITIONAL TELEGRAPHMARKETS.
