FEMALE FILLS FOLi TIIE FA.G.VN.
From the JV. Y. World.
An argument Las been snggested in favor
of thorough female medical educatiou which,
we confess, never occutred to us before, an I
which is conclnnive. At the recent FeuiHyl
vania Hospital congress we road that a cou
tribntor "warmly urged the propriety of
women receiving medical training, and espe
cially adverted to the need of trained female
practitioners to reach the families of the
various Asiatic nations." This man is proba
bly a frustrated missionary. Thi3 idea of
BendiDg female doctors to the Eastern
heathens should be developed so as to be
fully understood. A sort of oriental Liberia,
whither enfranchised females might go and
do, within the limits of decorum, of course,
what they please, is not a bad idea. There
should be a stipulation against their return
ing too soon. As the exact spot is not speci
fied at which this feminine experiment on
Asia is to begin, one must speculate about it.
Passing by Turkey, Egypt, though not
Asiatic, would probably come first in order.
This is the land of iShiphrah and Fuah, of
whom we read in the good book, and Zip
porah, who had a purgical tendency, and of
ess reputable females like Cleopatra and the
ady of the Captain of Pharaoh's guard.
Still, if we may trust Mrs. Grey, who, with
the Frincess of Wales, visited the Khedive's
domestic circle, everything, bating plurality,
is entirely unexceptionable. The ladies are
very fat, resulting from the want of fresh air
and exercise, and dirty, from want of fresh
water. Here an active, wiry, clean little
woman with a crop, from Philadelphia, might
do great good. A sharp, angular figure and
the crop would preclude the Viceroy's atten
tions or the jealousy of his wives, and the
Eatient would doubtless prefer being handled
y a woman with a masculine tendency than
one of the other sex womanly inclined. In
Arabia, stony, Bandy, or happy, there is not
room for any but veterinary practice, and
Mesopotamia, where Adam delved
and Eve spun, though excessively unhealthy,
has never, since the days of Semiramis, or at
least Zenobia, been a good place for enter
prising, energetic women. Hindostan and
China are all that are then left for this ex
periment on the 'first families" of the
heathen. 'What the British Government or
the native princes of Bengal will say to the
new American invasion it is not easy to fore
tell. With one opium is an article of culture
and export for mere poisoning purposes, and
with the other there is a fashion of burning
widows, which might cease to be voluntary,
and extend to single women. We only hint
at these difficulties to sue how they can be
obviated. In China, we admit, there is
ample space and verge enough. Chiropodio
science is tne bran cn to be practised ,,here,
and the American female surgeon who can
. persuade a Chinese woman to have her
loot put to rights, and then do it,
will have performed a prodigy. Dr. Peter
Parker's ophthalmic exploits will be nothing
to a triumph, over inverted toes, and, if this
new plan of missionary medicine succeed, it
will do more to put female China on its feet
than all that Mr. Burlingame accomplished.
That there may be social difficulties we admit.
Coctume, however, is not one of them, for in
China all the men wear petticoats and the
women trousers. There, as everywhere, it
will be the first step that costs. When, years
ago, the most enlightened of Eastern states
men visited the French Minister at Macao or
Canton, he wrote to his imperial master,
after a dinner party where ladies were pre
sent: "These barbarians have a dreadful habit
of exposing their women to publio view.
They actually sate at the same table with
your slave, who was much disturbed there
by." What Keying would have thought of a
mixed clinio can only be imagined, and how
the feminine matriculates of a brotherly love
are to gain access to the inner circle of hea
thendom we do not know. It is said that
once, when Lord Talmerston was importuned
to appoint a troublesome intrusive person to
a consulship, he told his secretary to bring an
atlas and find the most distant point on the
globe's surface. Thither he sent the bore.
Cannot Miss Dickinson be induced to migrate
and be made dean of the new medical college
at Pekin? Mrs. Stowe would find a congenial
borne at Petra, and Miss Anthony, like the
Triumvir, is yet young enough to try to make
her "mark" in Egypt.
FAR-WESTERN WAYS.
From, the N: Y. Tribune.
We had a number of despatches on Wed
nesday from localities in the Far West
Montana, Utah, Kansas which gave striking
and grizzly illustrations of frontier manners
and customs not yet wholly abolished in
America.
The Montana incident was of the lynch-law
order one of those rude and terrible occur
rences which have been frequent enough in
the Rocky Mountain regions during the last
few years, but the features of which can only
be realized by people who have been present
at a spectacle of the kind. Two men,
charged with the crime of robbing and at
tempting to kill a resident of Helena, wera
caught and brought before a citizens' meeting.
According to custom, a number of leading men
delivered speeches to the crowd, insisting that
it was Eesessary to publio safety to strike
terror to the outlaws; and, as always happens
at such times, an advocate of law and order
also made his appearance, protested against
any interference with regular authorities, and
urged the people to disperse all of which
advice was of course ignored. A committee
of twenty-five persons was appointed from
the crowd to conduct the trial. The prisoners
at once confessed their guilt, and at 2 o'elook
in the afternoon the committee condemned
them to death, the execution to take place at
half-past 4. At that time some JJOOO people
were gathered near the hangman's tree, and
the wagon, on which stood the prisoners with
ropes around their necks, being driven from
nnder them, they were left dangling, and
"justice was satisfied." "The whole affair,"
according to the despatch, "was carried out
in a quiet but determined manner.
The Utah incident, which was also of tho
lynch-law order, was of even a fiercer na
ture than the foregoing. A man having
killed a United States Marshal somewhere
near Bait Lake City, was pursued by a "lot
of Mormons," to whom it would appear he
f?ave fight. The result was that he was finally
tiLot, but not until, in the desperate struggle,
he had wounded three of his pursuers, one of
them mortally.
The Kansas Incident is one of those hor
rible eocentricitiea cf frontier life whioh soiue
novelists delight to wurk up. Two "influen
tial citizens" of the town of Monticello had a
quarrel, -which they apreed to "settle ' by
fighting it out in a dark room one of the
couibntanU being armed with a ravolvei. au 1
the other ith a bowie-KLife. On tUa iep jrt
of the pistol being heard by the outsiders,
the door of the darkened room was burst open,
when it was found that one of the "influen
tial citizens" was shot through the lungs,
and the other had his throat cut. Neither of
them was dead, but both are believed to be
mortally wounded. In other times, mortal
combats of this Rort in dark rooms were oo
OHniotinl incidents of Southwestern life; but,
until he present affair, we have not heard of
such an occurrence for many years.
Gradually, yet with rapidity, the reign of
law and order is extending over the vast
regions west of the Missouri. In a few years,
the horrible practice of lynching will have
entirely disappeared, and with it many of the
barbaritiea w hich have existed too long among
our fighting frontiersmen.
TnE REV. C. I. SMYTH, TIIE FOURTH
COMMANDMENT, AND THE SUNDAY
LIQUOR LAW.
From the A'. I'. IleraUL
The Rev. C. li. Smyth, of the Presbyterian
Church of this city, on Sunday, the 10th of
April last, after preaching a very good ser
mon, invited two newspaper reporters to take
lunch wilh him. The reporters accepted the
invitation, and the party of three repaired to
n neighboring restaurant, where, in the course
of the repast, the preacher called for the ex
traordinHry mixture of gin and milk, of which
he drank or sipped a quantity; and one of his
guests, in like manner, called for and dis
posed of a pitcher of gin and milk, as some
thing new under the pun. It further appears
that in these proceedings the preacher not
only violated the fourth commandment, as re
corded in the second book of Moses, but like
wise the Sunday liquor law of the State, and
"that although the company were seated in a
private room, no blessing was asked, at least
audibly or apparently, on the repast." Fur
thermore, the accused caused his son to assist
one of suid reporters in "deciperfng or writ
ing out" the notes of the sermon preached on
said day by the accused.
These facts were established against the
minister before the presbytery sitting on the
subject, Moderator Finley in the chair. Rut
Mr. Harper, of the Investigating Committtee,
submitted the following extenuating circum
stances: First, that the accused did not ask
either of his guests to take any intoxicating
drink. Second, that the accused was laboring
at the time under a considerable degree of
physical exhaustion. Third, that the quantity
of gin used by him was not large. Fourth,
that the accused did not exhibit any symptoms
of intoxication on the occasion. Next, in
balancing the account, the committee having
reported against the gin, in connection with
I he time, place, and circumstances, although
the facts had been greatly exaggerated in the
specifications against the accused, submitted
in conclusion the recommendation of a re
buke to the accused for his censurable con
duct, and an admonition with am engagement
on his part "to walk by the grace of God
more circumspectly in the future." There
port was adopted, and the rebuked Brother
Smyth is doubtless satisfied that his punish
ment is not greater than his offense.
bo much for the Church. Mow for the
press. According to the testimony of the
Herald reporter, whose fidelity to the facts
is established, the account of that Sunday
lunch, as published in the opera louffe jour
nal, was a false report, and, according to the
evidence ot the reporter directly oonoerned,
it was not his report, but a materially diffe
rent report. In other words it was a report
doctored, regardless of the consequenoes, to
make a sensation. Against this unscrupulous
Bohemianism we, in behalf of the llerald
reporter and all other faithful repor
ters of the publio press, must here
enter our protest. The Rev. Mr.
Smyth, from a kindly disposition to serve
the two reporters concerned, in reference to
that 10th of April sermon, invited them, how
ever unwisely, to lunch with him, and they
and he were betrayed in a little affair of hos
pitality by another party, and hence all this
fuss about a Sunday drink of gin and milk.
Why, even the professional robbers of the
Arabian desert regard the rites of hospitality
as a treaty of peace, which they are bound in
honor not to violate. If they eat or drink
with the traveller they are bound not only
never to betray him, but, when necessary, to
protect him within their lines of jurisdiction;
and when these rules are violated by the press
the press is brought into disgrace.
WrEED OUT THE ARMY.
Prom the X. Y. Sun.
Our readers must have noticed of late the
frequency with which courts-martial dismiss
army officers for drawing their pay twice for
the same period. This offense, now appa
rently on tho increase, was formerly entirely
unknown to the service. At first sight it
might appear that the corruption notoriously
infecting so many channels of publio employ-
ment bad at last laid its festering hand upon
those who were, only as late as last summer,
described by u distinguished divine as "a
body of men more largely incorrupt than any
other in tne community. iiut to those
acquainted with the circumstances the number
of these convictions, so far from being an in
dication of a low tone of moral sense in the
army, is a healthy sign of its disposition to
rid itself cf unworthy members who have
been tbrut into it through favoritism.
Since the war many good appointment of
volunteers of proved ability and integrity
have been made in the regular army; but at
the same time some men have been commis
sioned whose subsequent conduct costs an
undeserved reproach upon tnat clas3 known
as civilian appointments. These unworthy
men the better disposed officers are striving
to weed out, and in their efforts they should
have the encouragement of the Exeoutive
and the moral support of publio opinion. In
this work of reform the majority of tho offi
cer j perurui tneirpart, but the rresiuentnas
not hitherto sustained them. For, as a gene
ral rule, no sooner does a court-martial expel
a man than his name is sent to the Senate for
confirmation to the very grade of wqich he
was deprived; and in nearly every instance
the complaisant Senate has restored the dis
missed officer, in the face of the probable
summary muster out of over four hundred
unassigued officers against whom no charges
have ever been made.
. Last week two more offioers were court
martialled in this city and cashiered for
attempting to defraud the Government; and
already efforts are making to restore one, if
not both, to tie profession they have dis-
cTaced. Lieutenant li. Jr. ilyer of New York,
formerly a captain of volunteers, was ap
pointed a second lieutenant in the Seooud
United States Artillery in 18GG, and was tried
and dismistied the service for conduct unbe
coming an officer and a gentlemas. In his
remarks upon the sentence of the court
General Sherman says with reference to
Lieutenant Kyer: "Previous breaches of
discipline on the part of an officer
on trial, especially when each misoonduct
has already been suitably punished, can
cot justify me enforcement of
entente in itself not sustained." From this
it Hppeart-d Hint Lieutenant Ryer h-id more
thun once before incurred the disapprobation
of bis superiors for breaches of discipline.
He was finally brought to trial for presenting
fraudulent claims, and found guilty of four dis
tinct attempts to draw his pay twioe for the
same time. The Court sentenced him to be
cashiered, and to be confined for three years
in a penitentiary. The part relating to the
penitentiary was remitted by the President,
and the tax-papers of the country will hope
that the Exeovtive clemency will extend no
further.
Lieutenant J. A. A. Robinson's record, if
more brief, is not less varied. Formerly a
first lieutenant of volunteers, he was ap
pointed from Massachusetts a sooond lieute
nant in the Seventeenth Infantry in October,
lMx, and was transferred to the First Artil
lery in July, 180!). Joining this regiment in
August last, he was tried by court-martial for
"absence without leave, convicted, and sen
tenced "to be suspended from rank and com
mand, and to forfeit pay proper for three
months, and to be confined to the limits of
his post for the same period." This sentence
was so far mitigated as to inflict a fine of
only two months' pay proper, equal to $100;
and yet Robinson is already again brought
before a court-martial, end this time for the
graver offense of attempting to draw his pay
twice for the same month.
We learn that much maudlin sympathy is
expressed for Robinson, because he has com
mitted the offense but once; and strong hopes
are entertained of his reappointment from
the circumstance of his being a relative of
Admiral Porter. Can the Senate confirm suoh
a nomination?
' GIN AND JUSTICE.
From the N. Y. World.
The Rev. Charles B. Smyth has been found
guilty of having accomplished a compound
fracture of the Christian Sabbath, by in
dulging in gin and milk and the society of
reporters on that sacred day. With the
charges against Mr. Smyth the publio is
already familiar. His defence was quite a
remarkable one. He admitted the gin.
acknowledged the milk, and pleaded guilty to
the reporters; but he alleged in extenuation
of his offense that he did not pay his bill.
I ordered it to be charged to me, said Mr.
Smyth, "in order not to break the Sabbath
by paying it" from which it appears that
Mr. Smyth regards it as a breach of the
fourth commandment to pay his lawful
debts on Sunday. This is certainly a
singular phase of clerical morality; but,
alter all, it is what we might expect from a
man who was capable of mixing gin and
milk. The plea, ingenious as it was, did not
save the culprit, who was rebuked with
solemn severity by a brother clergyman. The
latter dwelt upon the heinousness of Mr.
Smyth's offense, and reproved him for hav
ing set a bad example to the reporters who
were partakers of his gin and milk. It is to
be hoped that this painful example will not
be withoat its effect upon the clergy. The
reporters whose duty compels them to at
tend the ministrations of Mr. Smyth and
other popular preachers should not be un
necessarily exposed to demoralizing influ
ences. If they are to be brought into
contact with heretical beverages in addition
to unorthodox doctrines, a certain deteriora
tion in their morals must be the consequence.
Mr. Smyth has taught at least three reporters
how to compound a beverage of which they
had formerly been in innocent ignorance.
If these unfortunate young men hencefor
ward wander from the path of plain and legi
timate drinking into tne strange and dan
gerous ways of gin and milk, their fall will
be the result of Mr. Smyth's evil example.
Now that justice has overtaken him, let him
see to it that in future he shall never so
adulterate his gin as to make it a snare for
innocent reporters.
A MORAL FOR SCHENCK.
From the Chicago Post.
Mr. Schenck says if his tariff bill is killed.
as it now promises to be, its epitaph will be
"nibbled to death by pismires," or "kioked
to death by grasshoppers. Bat we trust the
bill will not be killed. Let the pismires and
grasshoppers swarm about it, and divest it, as
they are rapidly doing, of its unjust monopoly
features, and then give it a fair field and
long life.
Let Schenck be warned. The pismires and
grasshoppers will bo to the giant Monopoly
what the Lilliputians were to Brobdignag.
Numbers go further than mere muscle and
meat.
Another thing. Before Mr. Schenck beats
the air any longer as the blind windmill of
the tariff, he ought to study political economy
as taught by these very pismires of which he
speaks in such contemptuous terms. The
ant, or pismire, is the very model of a healthy
and vigorous home industry. He is tho pat
tern worker of the universe, ne asks and re
ceives no protection. His gains are the dim
ple rewards of his own unaided labor.
Moreover and to this fact we call Mr.
Schenck 's particular attention the ant is the
great renovator of the universe. He is the
great cleanser of tho Augean stables of the
earth. He feeds upon offal, and withdraws
from exposure all the poisonous carcases
whose noxious gases are the chief enemy of
man. He has been known to consume every
particle of the unwholesome body of a mam
moth elephant. Think of that, Mr. Schenck !
and thank Providence for providing the ant
that shall clear away the corrupt carcase of
Tariff Monopoly when the House shall have
slain the giant and thrown its body out upon
the plain.
One more word to Mr. Schenck and we
are done. It is this: "Goto the ant, thou
sluggard! Consider his ways, and be wise!
