SK STUDY AND PRACTICE Of 3IEDICIM? BY WOMEN. eiety Jw-accustomed to do the fair grossest In astice. When acci-a of life and death and poverty them with the multitude to le for bread, there Is no special ilty, exerted in woman's behalf. -In because of her innocence, weak- and ignorance of herself and of world, as she is now falsely edu she is the more wronered and L-eJ, and if she seek to exert her in any unusual sphere foul-uthed slanderers or selfish il critics are too ready to condemn "unwomanly" that which they ad more as 'competition'." "What-r, therefore, is calculated to make men think, whatever is designed to young women self-supporting, transforms their character induces tp purpose of being more than submissive slaves of caprices, whatever gives them a power vo support themselves and Mens their sphere of usefulness and as integral social facts, finds a in the Statesman.

Recently efforts in the same direction have in the medical profession, a reason of this is not to be sought any peculiar fitness of women to lice medicine, but must be attrib- 1 to the fact that in this direction cause support in cer- -fentscommon to all civil-mmunitiea.

The C000 persons who attended bis ministrations at Georgetown will confess beneficial results in their daily conduct through all their lives. All are more or less influenced by bis impassioned, earnest discourses that appeal to the affections and emotions and never fail to produce marked practical results. There are "backsliders, but these will slide in both diiections, and are better men than if they only pursued one fixed course down that facile dexentum Averni which all of us have often traveled with greater cr lets velocity and danger to immortal souls.

Tbe Georgetown meeting was protracted through two weeks. Major Peon preached thrice each day, and 4C9 converts rewarded his toils and soaga and prayers. It is a well known fact that the morals of Williamson county were such that the local option law could not be executed within its confines. The attachees of the courts found that fees and litigation and fights and broils, while the law existed and was obeyed, were suspended, and that the local option act was almost equivalent to the blotting out of the docket of the crim inal court. This was unprofitable to placeholders, and every device was employed to render the law odious and inefficient.

Success crowned these efforts, and whisky was uncorked and unrestrained till Mtior fetn came preaching immersion in cold water, instead of alcohol, and expounding the simple principles of genuine Chris tian piety. He has wrought such a revolution in popular sentiment, that the good citizens of Williamson county now believe that temperance may become the handmaiden of Christian virtue, and say that Major Penn has accomplished such changes in the forces and direction of public opinion that judicial records of popular vices and crimes need nevermore be made; that the country will become peculi arly attractive to the best and repul sive to the worst elements of society that burdens of local taxation will be crreatly alleviated and Williamson county become, in its moral as in Its physical aspects, the most attractive of the commonwealth. It will thus be seen that the good done by Major Penn is practical and financial as well as re ligious. It affects society at large as well as the church and they who would enter Paradise after death will ever be foremost in converting terrestrial homes into abodes of virtue, purity and truth. FATHERS OF THE WEALTH.

Elisha Prewitt, who was in the city yesterday, came to Texas in 1820, crossing the Sabine February 22. He settled in East Liberty county. lie remained there ten years and then came to uastrop in isjz, Juiy z. Judge Fisk, of Brownwood, who taught school in Bastrop, was there before 1830. Of tbe living of to-day, who were in Bastrop prior to 1836, there are Wm.

M. Ilornsby, of Horns- by's Bend, near this city Rufus Perry, of Blanco, James Wells of Georgetown, and Desha Bunton, who lives across the river opposite city, and J. J. Tannehill.alsoiof Austin. In 1830 he was too young to remember much of ante- revolutionary events.

Of ladies of those old days, three survive, Mrs. Jonathan Burleson and Mrs. Martha Mitchell and Mrs. Reynolds (Miss Christian) who still live at Bastrop. Governor E.

M. Pease, in those days. waa a esv voune man in Bastrop. His name appears aa witness to a deed made in 1833 in that aucient village. Aaron Burleson then lived there, aa did hia wife, who waa then very young, Mr.

Prewitt can remember at this mo ment, besides Willis Avery and Lyle Osborn, no other living inhabitant of Bastrop. William and now live on the line between this county and Bastrop came here in 1833, Tbe Berrys, Jack and Bates, came to West Liberty in 1821 and to Bastrop about 1834. Batea lives now on Big Brady creek, in McCulloch county, and Jack in Coleman county, and McGehee ia digging nugeeta in Llano county, The first settlers of Texaa from the United States, in 1820,, were Buxton, Paulding Ashe, Capt Orr, Beaaley, Prewitt. Jim Rodger. Re son Green and William Duncan.

Jessee Prew itt. father of the narrator of these facta also came to Tex. aa in 1820, when lisba was seven years old. He ia now sixty-six years of age, and seems in vigorous health. lie served through the wars of 183S and 1840 and 1860 5, and in divert and sundry Indian wars.

People of our time should bend reverently in tbe presence of brave old pioneers like Mr. Prewitt, whose modest per sonal worth never asserts itself, and the story of whose active, adventur ous life would constitute a more fascinating book than "Scottish Chiefs" or Weem'a "Marion." While Southern farmers cultivate cotton and sugar estates for commission merchants and not for themselves they can never grow rich. Western wheat-grower tried it and were bankrupted by the "cent per cent" they paid, and there can be no popular prosperity when the habit prevails. The cash system is not only honest but safe and profitable. Mortgagea are thieves that steal by day and night all profit of industry.

Wherever farms 3 I ana nomea are hedged in by mort gagea crop are blighted, rosea never blossom, houses are never repaired or painted, and the count! goes to decay. When will Texaa farms ahow that their owner borrow nothing and pay bo usury Chi? holm's conduct waa of such aa extraordinary character and hia Radi calism so Intense and devotion to Gov ernor Ames and hi cane so earnest that be waa deemed a carpet-bagger. On the contrary, ha waa one of the few white men of Mississippi who went, with the seal of new converts, into Ames' bosom and abhorred, the Conservatism of Alcorn. Tun most notable ot the many mat rimomal engagements recently announced ia that of Mr. Coleman Dray ton to Miss Aster, daughter of William Attor, and granddaughter of the late Mr.

William B. Attor, tba millionaire. ilAcai who wrote soaJmiraMy, as but brilliantly lurxfal in Tar lis- uiL-ut. llo was ia re nJ j.bil-osof:hical aud greater thin bis col- league, bnt not a match for many of them, who were really bis -intellectual inferiors, when set npon his legs and required to talk with bis tiDgue. lie was, therefore, induced to say of party leaders that the most fleet i ye speak ers are commonly ill-iuformed, shallow in thought, devoid of large ideas of legislation, hazarding the loosest speculations with tbe utmost intellectual impudence, and depending for success on volubility of speech rather than on accuracy of knowledge or penetration of intelligence.

The tendency of institutions like those of England and America," he adds, "is to encourage readiness in public men, at the expense both of fullness and exactness. The keenest aud most vigorous minds of every generation, minds often admirably fitted for the investigation of truth, are habitually employed in producing arguments such aa no man of sense would ever put into a treatise intended for publication, arguments which are just good enough to be used once, when aided by fluent delivery and pointedlanguage." And be despairingly closes with the remark that he "ff.rald sooner expect a great original work on political science, such a work, for example, as tbe Wealth of Nations, from an apothecary in a conntry town, or from a minister in the Hebrides, than from a statesman who, ever since he was one-and-twenty, had been a distinguished debater in the House of Commons A br am Lincoln living would be denounced by bis party of to-day with bitterness stronger than the pretended veneration for his virtues and patriotism which Republicans assert. lie declared everywhere again and again that the rights of the State, of which to secede was not one, should be maintained inviolate that each State had the absolute and perfect right to shape and maintain and control its domestic institutions as it chooses, aud the central government can not interpose in State as directed specifically by the Constitution. Lincoln used to assert this code of State rights, and yet if we repeat it to-day the Northern Republican press, pretending to venerate Lincoln's name and philosophy of government, would make a continent resonant of "znzoo," "old rebel gun "Chisholm," "Barksdale," and would not old Abe roar with laughter? Or would he weep over the follies and frauds of his race? That old enthusiast Bergh, who does infinite good in preventing cruelty to animals and barbarity in dealing with children in New York free schools, has taken up the cudgel to prevent vivisection as practiced upon dogs and rabbits by the doctors. Since we, with Bergh, kill and devour ani mals in order to prevent hunger, we can't see why the doctors may not dis sect, and thus kill animals in order to save our lives.

But the doctors are not generous and when carving up liv ing animals and watching effects of wounds and of the trans fer of life currents the animal is commonly subjected to the influence of anesthetics and dying or dissected is unconscious of pain. Bergh often overleaps bounds of common sense when rushing forward madly in obedience to impulses rather than convictions. Bergh's reason is founded in his emotions. Thb canal ring, the Federal govern ment, the Custom House, Tammany and Conkling, haye combined to de feat Robinson and elect the machine politician Cornell. One would infer that all good people and taxpayers of the State, of whatever partisan predi lections, would support Robinson, who has lessened the cost of the State government one-half.

But the more stealing the more tbe politicians are well pleased, and knavery commands votes in New York, and Tammany is irresistibly drawn towards Cornell. Its orators declare that they prefer his election to that of Robinson. The Tammany of San Francisco has also gone off after plunder and confisca tion, and is a happy riddance even if Democracy be defeated. Boston has the largest and Abing don, Virginia, the next largest Sweden-borgian church in the world. The society is also very potent in Philadel phia.

It ia by the uninitiated deemed a fascinating sort of transcendentalism. Discarding the Trinity they: make Christ the very God and believing especially in the "communion of saints" they contemplate much the same future life as that anticipated by Choctaws in happy hunting grounds when divested of physical assuming a spiritual form and trotting along the same patha and in the same dogged manner as before that change denominated death has supervened. We don't believe they take much stock in the sulphurous bell we read about. Tilden writes with not a little ferocity and strength of antithesis when he aays to Cyrus Field "Tbe noble faculty of memory sometimea fails in good men, and distorts or dis colors the truth but Mr. Field's mem ory has reached that last stage of in firmity in which it remembers what never happened." Mr.

Tilden ia not a desirable Democratic candidate for the presidency, but his mind keeps at white beat it thia paper of hia ia criterion. The great pedestrian match fcr the OXeary belt and the championship of America began at Madison 8quare gar den, New York, Monday. Represen tativea from Canada, England, Scot land and seven different States are entered for the race. It will attract much interest, no doubt, but without wholly absorbing the public mind, did the great Aatley walk. Neither will the political canvas be suspended in consequence.

Ttlden denounce as untrue in every respect the statement of that "prominent member of the National Democratic Executive who pre tended, a few daya ago, that be had in terviewed the distinguished gentleman. Mr. Tildes has made no reference, public or private, to ue snot gun policy of conducting elections tn the South, TH3 Chicago Text has IntrrTteWtd Hon. Jcrrc at the urtu Democrat, who, "liscUimiD oy preference for TiMcn, sty: I don't think Tildcn wants tn be a candidate in 18S0, but he can have the nomination if tie is willing to take it. All sigts show luitttue fraud of which be was the victim in 1370 gives uim a hold np in, the' popular heart which is hard to Usson.

Iic-sMes, he is known to be a man consummately fitted for the first office in tbe nation, a thoughtful statesman, a studious doctrinaire, with a knowledge of practical affair which makes bis julgment almost infallible. As reganls the once much-talked-of cipher dispatches, what do they provt? Why, this, and only this: That those loathsome miscreants who held returns in their bands tried to blackmail him demanded money as the price of an honest ceit Ccate and a true return. He indignantly and in-sUnily refused to rol.btd, and then the scoundrels fabricated fraudulent re-turnn, for which they were paid by the Hayes men. I defy any man to lay his finger upon one scintilla of evidence beyond what I have stated which connects Mr. Tilden with these infamous rascals in any other way.

But the false returns were all paid for by the administration which they -put in powe. Eery one of that godless crew.ia provided with a profitable office. There is double bareness in this. To reward men for corrupting election returns is unspeakably bad, but to do it with money taken from the public treasury is such an infiuite outrage that it casts common brilery or ordinary stealing quite into the shade. It is said Mr.

Tilden ought to have seiz-i the presidency and had himself inaugurated at all risks. This is unmitigated nonsense. If the house of rep-resertuives had declared htm elected, then he would have been-unfaithful to his duty if be bad not taken possession but when his political supporters in Congress permitted him and his constituents to be out of their could lie remedy the wrong? llow especially, can members of Con gress, who committed that grave error, throw the blame uoon him? Grant has peculiar ways of doing things. His firmness and persistency oi purpose degenerate into amazing obstinacy. Fjr fifteen years it has been everywhere published aud an nounced from tho stump by ten thou sand rinems stump sneakers that in 1849 he was addicted to habit of in famy among Digger injuns" about Stockton, California.

The newspapers said he was then and there a hideously disgusting, brutal drunkard, and world finally accepted the conclusion that Grant was at best only a reformed sot. The proper time came. Grant visit ed Stockton last week. He was wel comed most generously, and then Grant made a good-natured speech, in which he stated in the presence of many "forty- niners" that he was not the Capt. Urant they knew, and that he was never in Stockton till 1853.

He waited a decade to speak, and when he does is in the presence of those who could confirm or contradict. The whole country will be pleased to know that an ex-President was not the Capt, Grant who disgraced his name and race among Digger Iojuns. The Statesman baa given circulation to the story, and ia pleased to print the truth as due to itself, its readers and to Gen. Grant. In a report of Senator Mixey's speech in the Greenback organ of this city it is stated that the Senator is a vice pres ident of a national bank, and the in ference is therefore attempted to be made that ho is interested in United States bonds.

It is but justice to state that Gen. Maxcy is not now and never was connected with a national bank, and does not now and never did own a Dond ot the united states. lie is a stockholder of the Farmers' and Mer chants' Bank of Paris, a banking com pany regularly chartered under tbe laws of Texas, operated upon Texas capital and devoted to building up the business prosperity of the town and section in which it is located. He was at one time vice president and director of this bank, but resignei on account of bis ofli i tl duties at Washington. The only person present when Gen Sterling Price died twelve years ago on the first instant, were Mrs.

Stoddard and Col. John P. Bull. The latter near the close of the war, belonged to the personal staff of Gn. Price, and during his illness had been a regular at tendant at his bedside.

Culling Mrs, S. and Col. B. to approach the bed, he took a hand of each, nerved himself for the effort and broke the awful still ness by repeating in a calm, distinct tone the following lines: "Teach me to feel another's woe. To bide the faults I aee; That mercy I to oi her t-how Thai mercy show to me." It makes us feel sad to be omitted in the leuaram list of the great newspapers of Texas.

Honor is fleeted upon the appoint ing power when such men as Judge A. 3.

Dinkins, the State Fish Com missioner, is himself a very whale. His enthusiasm in behalf of fish cul ture grows out of the fact that in former years he was addicted to devouring shad from the Savannah and trout from mountain streams of Geor gia and the Carolinas.

He will always keep ahead of it, and, if necessary to keep out of its way, will wade over to the Sand- witch Islands. We see him now in our mind's eye striding over the summit of tbe Rocky Mountains and down the valley of the Gila, spanning the Gulf of California at a stride, wading out into the peaceful ocean still pursued by the Denison and Pacific and Texas Pacincltail ways and locomotives, tie will rest at last amid the temples and palaces of King Kalakona and dawdle out the dreamful daya of his existence among Sandwitched sea nymphs.

Mrs. Dr. Frank Paschal, nee Miss Ladie Napier, of San Antonio, who, with her husband, is now residing at Chihuahua, haa learned the Spanish, and often appears on the stage. Mrs. Paschal, who was formerly one of tbe most popular vocalists of Texas, sang the Mexican national hymn on the tenth of last month, the occasion of the celebration of Mexican independence, before an assemblage of upwards of 3000 persons in Chihuahua.

Her singing waa received with rapturous applause. Dr. Paschal ia one of the most popular men of the State of Chihuahua, and ia succeeding most wonderfully in the practice of hia profession. Often be is called npon to travel great distances to attend the suffering, but tbe wealthy Mexican pay him well for hia services, which justifies him in heeding the appeals. The wicked correspondent of the Nct ia finally anathematized and done for by "Nat in this neat paragraph: "We (meaning 'Nat had rather be an apostle of Major Penn'a, even, than a child of tbe devil, like the sender of the telegram alloded to.

Tbe strangest assumption ia thia para graph is that there are bo telegraph line "down stairs.

Whether those who proposed to give it can "deliver tbe goods" remain to be seen. The latest interviewer says that Tilden confesses a deep interest in the reelection of Governor Robinson, and not so much on account of its general bearing upon the election of 18S0 as on account of tils desire to crush John Kelly and Tammany Hall, lie says that Mr.

Tilden is. if possible, doing more to elect the Democratic candidate for Gsvernor than if he were himself the man. His political sagacity and large expenence are being brought into full play, aud ho is contributing largely from his personal means to carry out his own plan of the campaign. He has made np his mind to destroy John Kelly and Tammany Hall, if this can possibly be accomplished. Concerning the result of the next National campaign, Mr.

Tilden represented as graatly discouraged. So strong is thia feeling that Mr. Tilden is not giving himself nearly so much concern to secure tbe nomination as tbe public seems inclined to believe. Mr. Tilden has reasons for not valuing the Democratic nomination very highly just now, and they were thus stated The Southern Democracy has handicapped the Northern wing of the party to an alarming extent during the last two years.

The attitude of the Southern Democrats upon financial questions, their many blunders in Congress, their repudiation of their State debts, their intolerance and outrageous treatment of those who differ with them in and lastly the many unpunished and condoned political assassinations Mr. Tilden thinks Illy calculated to make the Democratic nomination very desirable, except to a candidate who might be content to run simply for the honor of leading tbe party in the race. Mr. Tilden is represented, however, as lieing satisfied that be can obtain the nomination if he wants it. While the Republican managers of Ohio are delighting tbe public with the proud boast that they have already got tne democratic party of that State down and are going to hold it there, they are kept pretty busy in various other ways.

Anybody would suppose that, having satisfied themselvea that they have already won the election, there would be nothing more to do, but the Ohio politician never knows when to let ud. Within a few days the Republican State committee has sent out a fresh batch of circulars to those office-holders who have not come down with their voluntary contributionp, giving notice that it will be necessary for tbem to pay up. The committee explains that it is out of funds and it will be impossible for the campaign to go on if money isn't furnished, ihis is really an uncomfortable position for a party to be in which has already announced its own victory. If there is any money left in the pockets of the officials to whom these circulars are sent, it should be promptly forwarded in large amounts to pay the expenses of stuffing tbe vic tory in Ohio to keep it from perishing. Bo ropean Armlea Military Strengtli ot Various Continental Countries.

A Vienna correspondent, writing to the London Standard, says In Germany the reorganization of that army was fully carried out in 18G6, since which time the annual recruiting nas produced men. After making due deductions foi dead, sick. the strength of the German army may now do fairly put at UUU men of the line, and the reserves and the First Landwehr, all of whom are thoroughly drilled and ready to enter the field at any moment. These men are of various ages, from 20 to 32 years. Besides these, the German government can call out the Second Landwehr and the Landsturm, which include all tbe drilled soldier from 35 to 50 years of age.

These would, after making due deduction, number 1,300,000 men. All these 2,550,000 soldiers can be marched in twenty-four hours after their being called out, as all tbe quartermaster's arrangements are made in time of peace to enable this to be done. From this total must be deducted 200,000 for the fortresses, 150,000 for the coasts and against Denmark, and 100,000 for depots; so that 2,100,000 men are available for real warfare, and the last of whom would only require a fortnight at tbe most to be on the frontiers. The border fortifications on tbe Freneh side are completely finished and are fully armed. They are furnished with large stores of provisions, and communicate with the interior of the country by means of good railways.

France has, of course, good fortresses also on the German frontier, and these are strengthened by smaller barricading forts, but, in addition to the fact that they will but be completed aod in thorough working order before 1881, Germany has tbe advantage of a convex frontier which would facilitate concentric attickp, such as are regarded by military authorities as the moat successful. The strength of the French army is, on paper, men, bnt Sir Garnet Wolsely, as well as other authorities, calculate it at only about 1,800,000, among whom are more than 600,000 undrilled men. Besides this, the state of the territorial army and the Garde Mobile is so doubtful that France is considered to have ready for the beginning of a war not more than 1,000,000, of whom 400.009 must be deducted for garrisons, leaving 600,000 really available for action. Russia's force. although given on paper at 1,800,000 men, can not, as waa eiplainad at the beginning of the recent dispute, exceed 400,000 men on tbe German frostier.
