Pnylnga-Tennle C. Claflln and Her Own Ac
rennt ol Herself. ,
Man, they say, in doomed to disappointment. If
this saying be true, then have we the proof positive
that we are nothing other than human, since last
night we were terribly disappointed. Having been
apprized of the presence of Miss Tennle C. ClaMn,
one of the tirm of Woodlmil A Clanin, In our
city, we were entrusted with the task of "inter
viewing"' the somewhat celebrated personago,
and accordingly repaired to the Continental
Hotel, where Miss Clutlin is staying, and sending np
our card with some little degree of nervousness,
awaited the return of the colored servant. We pic
tured to ourself meantime, a sallow-vlsaged, sharp
featured, toothless, crabbed piece of femininity of
about the age of forty, and a regular stump orator.
AVhllst we were forming this Idea, we were requested
to step tip to one of the parlors, and In a few
moments Miss Tennle C. Claflln appeared, accompa
nied by her mother, a lady of about sixty years of
age.
THE YOUNO BROKE BESS.
Tennle is an out-and-out blonde, having clear
cut features, a profusion of rich early hair, and
sparkling blue eyes. She Is about years of age
and as active as a kitten. As she entered the room
we took a quick view or her, and noticed that she
was about four feet four inches in height, attired In
a black silk dress with train and blue velvet jacket
cut low In the neck. Engaging in conversation
with her, we found her sharp, interesting, and
somewhat Inclined to witticism, seeing only the
bright side of life, and determined to make herself
and others happy. We found her voluble, Intelli
gent, and smart, and on the whole a true embodi
ment of the "progressive" woman of the nineteentn
century,
KOT A YANKKB.
Making known the object or our visit, we at once
entered on business, and our first question was
VAre you a Yankee ?"
"Not a bit of it."
"What then?"
"I waa born in Ohio, but am somewhat of a mix
ture." "How so?"
"Well, I'll tell yon. My father is a downright, go
ahead Yankee, and my mother a German, and. I
mvsclf an Ohloan."
"What constitutes yonr family?"
"What do you mean by my family?" was the reply
received.
"We mean have yon brothers, sisters, etc. ?"
Smilingly she answered, "Oh! yes I I have six
Bisters aud one brother."
"Are they all as smart as you ?"
"Well, I just reckon they are. "
A SELF-EDUCATED WOMAN.
Onr next question was, "Were you cdacated In
Ohio?"
Miss Claflim quickly responded, "I am self
educated ; never went to school a day in
my life; received- the rudiments from my
parents, and the rest picked 1 up my gel r.
Never read a novel, and never Intend to. What little
time I can spare from business I give to the perusal
of such literature as I can prolit by. 1 believe there
is work for woman to do in this world, and she
cannot know too much ; therefore I make hay while
the sun shines, and waste not a minute knowingly."
NO STICKLER FOR DRESS.
"You apparently don't desire to make yourself
prominent in point of dress?"
"No, sir; 1 want my brain to gain me promi
nence." "Do you believe in woman Imitating the dress of
masculines?''
"No, not altogether. I think that a reform can
and must be made In the dressing of woman, but I
don't think that site must wear breeches, etc I
think that If women would follow the goddess of
fashion less, and practise good sound sense, there
would be less misery in the world, and but few If
any McFarlaud-Klchardson cases."
Noticing the absence of diamonds or jewelry of
any kind, we said, "You appear to practice what
yoil preach."
"Certainly," was the reply; "I have gone into this
movement for the advancement of women, with an
intention of work, and I want no gewgaws to
adorn my person.''
"You believe in setting a good example, then ?"
"Most assuredly !"
1IKR BUSINESS LIFX.
"When did you first enter business life ?"
"When I was eight years old."
"Where?"
"Chicago."
"What business?"'
"Well, I sold apples."'
Observing our expression of astonishment she im
mediately added: "I'll tell you how it came about.
My father, at one time, was somewhat wealthy, but
becoming involved in a coal land speculation, he
lost all he had, and for a time we were in trouble
and had a hard struggle for existence. Then it was
that 1 sold apples, and I am proud that I, at that
early day was enabled to do something for the
parents who have done so much for me."
"What was your next business adventure 1"
"I next started as a doctor."
"With what success?"
"Enough to support my father and mother and
educate eight children."
"All yourown?''
"Oh.no!"
"What then?"
"Nieces, nephews, and others." ' .
"How came you to enter Liroad street?"
"Because I wanted to make nitoney."
"Do vou tti ink vou can?''
"Certainly ; 1 am just as capable of so doing as
any of the 'bulls' or 'bears.' I went Into liroad Btreet

JJOT A "BULL," NOR A "BEAU."
"Are you a 'bull ?' "
"No, Btr."
"Are you a 'bear ?' "
"No, sir."
"Then what are you ?"
"1 am a woman."
Remarking that we had ocular and auricular
demonstration or mat law, we saui:
"Do you take neither end of the horn ?"
"Well, sometimes I bull and sometimes I bear; I
nave no 'hobby' to chase, but buy and sell at dis
cretlon. I never work on a margin and don't con
eider it safe to do so."
PHILADELPHIA BR0KEB8.
"Have you been amongst our brokers ?"
"1 have."
What do you think or them ?"
"They are a fine set vf fellows, but awful slow,"
"Did you operate ?"'
"No! They wanted me to bull 'Reading,' out I
couldn't see it."
"How were you received ?"
"Oh ! first raw; one handed me a cigar and I took
It. Do vou smoke 7"
Answering that we occasionally indulged in that
Email railing, sue prouueeu a genuine Havana, ana
said, "tinioke that alter dinner."
She then went on: "Well, after handing me the
cigar, another gentleman desired to furnish me with
a light, but I refused, on the ground that the Stock
Room was not used for smoking purposes, but for
business."
"W00DHCLL & CLAFLIN'S WEEKLY."
"now about your new paper 7"
"Well, 1 think it is a success."
"You are here now on business relative to It ?"
"Yes, I desire to get you slow Phlladelphlans to

"Everything that will ennoble woman and bring

"How do vou intend doing this?"
"I mean to show woman her faults, lead her out of
the ways of fashion and make her turn to and help

paid Miss C. We confessed that she was, since she
talked faster than we thought.
"Well, then, why shouldn't woman be elevated?"
our answer was, "oi course i wnynotr
After promising to read the new paper we changed

"Yes. sir."

"In Illinois. "
"Was your husband younger or older than your-

"He was my senior."

"Yes, we were divorced." -"WhyBO?"
"Well, 1 married to find a helpmate. Instead of

"What sort of a character was he ?"

The meeting was called to order at 11 o'clock by
the President. "William M. Wallace. Dr. Gross.
Chairman of the Committee or Arrangements, intro
duced the Rev. Mr. Witherow, who opened the pro
cecdlnes with prayer.
Dr. J. Aitken Meigs was tnen introduced, wno de
livered tne address or welcome.
Dr. Gross announced that the hours of meeting
would be rrom 10 A. M. to 8 P. M., and from 4 to tt
in the afternoon.
It was announced that thus far 104 delegates had
registered tneir names.
The President then delivered the annual address.
of which the following is an abstract:
"I will present to you the social view as the oppo
site of the professional address of Dr. Meigs. The
pnystcian, as a general ming, is biiui up in smati
towns, where he does not have the social advantage
of intercourse with fellow-laberers or his own class.
The necessity for this Intercourse in organized
bodies is not Btimcienuy ieiu uuc tne necessity
exists, and should be forwarded as much as
possible, not oniy lor tne improvement or lnaiyiau
als, but for the advancement of science. The physi
cian obtains, by reason or his profession, access to the
inner lire or an nis patients, lie nas bent over tne
cradle and heard tne motner s neartteic communi
cation when she herseir would suffer for those she
loves. He Is the confidant of the husband for the
wife's safety, and or the wife for the husband's. In
the less favored brancn or tne proressfon, it is the
practice to oDtaln practice by mixing with the
people and enlisting their sympathies. Some obtain
a better livelihood by the manufacture and the dis
pensing or medicines. But in whatever position he
is, he should aim never to sacrifice -in any way to
private advantage the life of a patient. We are
amenable to human beings of every kinds. It is
not intemperance or proianity mat is to be depre
cated. The day has passed when such thlnirs are to
be tolerated in the pnystcian. Tne Dest or education
and the most gentlemanly behavior are now re
nuired. What is there more disgusting than the
n ltliy anecdote or the inhuman jest in tne mouth or
the doctor ? Medical science and religion should go
hand in hand. It is a noted fact that the progress
of the science is accompanied by a rapid growth or
cnurcnes. it is aiso a tact mat nas passed current
that physicians are liable to quarrel. Though this
is not a fact to a great extent, the strong feeling or
rivalry can only be kept in abeyance by the mixing
together or the various members or the profession
in organizations like this. Each Individual entering
tne profession aoes it wita tne unaerstanamg mat
ho will exert his best powers to the utmost, and
promote the general cause of science in preference
to private gam.
"The iniluence or woman in her proper sphere is a
great help to the labors or the physician. She is the
best of nurses and the best of companions ror tho
sick. But supposing that we give her equal rights
with ourselves in the medical profession, is she
physically capable of answering the midnight! bell
and of traversing at midnight the dark alleys and
fmrlleus or a city, or the still more lonely country
anes ? Is she capable or dragging through mud and
rain for a whole day, and arter a nasty supper drag
through mud and rain for nearly the whole night
following? Has she the strength-of nerve in the
midst or a great excitement to apply the knife
ana bandage? Ana at a great crisis win she
have presence of mind enough to exert her best
judgment? But if Bhe is able to grapple with the
stronger in all these particulars, will not the exer
cise of all these powers deprive her of those gentle
accompusiimems wmcn renaer ner bo aearto us ?"
The thanks of the society, on motion of Dr. Stetler.
were returned to the President for his able address,
and a copy was requested for publication in the
minutes or tne association.
The roll of the association was then called by Dr.
Atkinson.
A motion was made that the reading of the
minutes be dispensed with, and a committee of three
appointed to examine them aud auy unfinished busi

Sptcial Despatch to the Evening Tclegravh,
Mr. Fitch, of Nevada, sent to the Clerk's desk and
had read a despatch from this city to the New York
Kvening Post relative to Cuban aiiairs, written by W.
Scott Smith, correspondent of the Kveninn J'osU
After tne article nad been read, Air. f iicn said: in so
far as the paragraph which has just been read by the
Clerk Intimates that I have either accepted or been
tendered any bribe, girt, or the promise or any bribe
or gift or valuable thing wnatever by Mr. N.

friend of, or purporting to act as agent or friend of
the cause of Cuban independence. It is an un
mitigated falsehood, and the author is a wicked and
cowardly liar. I believe that some weeks since a
f onion or tne committee on tne j uniciary or tne
louse was authorized by a resolution of the House
to Investigate charges or accusations that members
or this House bad been improperly influenced by the
promise of Cuban bonds, or of monev, I call
upon tne cnairman oi mac suo-committee, tne
honorable gentleman from Massachusetts, Mr. But
ler, to rise in his place now and state to the House
and to tne country wnetner any evidence
has been presented to that committee tending to
Implicate me in any discreditable manner whatever
Air. liutier, or mass. hit. speaker, i am oounu to
say, and it is at the same time a pleasure to say.
that there is no evidence whatever to implicate tue
gentleman from Nevada (Mr. Fitch) In any improper
transaction in regard to Cuba or anything else. I
desire to add runner tnat, in my view.wnenever any
evidence comes before an investigating committee
of the House, which in tne judgment or the com
mittee implicates any member or the House, it is
the duty or the committee to report the ract to the
House before proceeding with the investigation.
That is the course I should always pursue. I repeat,
there is no evidence Implicating the gentleman from
Nevada.
Mr. Fitch Let me further say in reply to this or
any similar slander with reference to the Cuban
question, which may be promulgated by irresponsi
ble anu aisreputauie persons mat i no not Know
Mr. N. D. Taylor, and, so far as I am aware, I never
met him or had any conversation or correspondence
witn nun upon tne suoiect or tne recogni
tion of Cuban independence or any
other subject I say further that, until after the re
marks which I made in December last upon my own
motion in behalf of Cuban independeuce, I never
met any member or tne cuoan junta, or any person
interested in any organized effort to sustain the
cause or Cuban independence. After I made that
speech I was called on by some gentlemen who did
me the honor to express their thanks for the few
poor, unavailing words I had uttered in behalf
of that struggling people, but no person who
called upon me. or who has ever communicated
with me since with reference to the possibility of
obtaining action irom congress or tue administra
tion witn regard to cuna, nas ever insulted me by
intimating tnat in tne event or tne success or that
people I could expect anything except their grati
tude and regard.
Mr. Maynard v ill the gentleman allow me to ask
mm a question 7
Mr. mien res, Btr.
Mr. Mavnard Has the gentleman's attention been
caned to a communication irom mi city.i tninK pud

I Old not see it in the Post. I do not
take that paper, and my attention was first called
to the matter by reading it last night in the Star, it
l may be permitted to say one word in addition 1
will remark that the purpose of this lie U as obvious
as the lie ltseir is baseless, weapproacn in a rew

House will help Spain to crush Cuba or not. It is
perhaps conjectured by members of the Spanish
Embassy, or persons in Spanish interest, that if

and Dermltted to bass unchallenged. . gentlemen
on this floor may be afraid to express the kindly sen

Cubans, and at the cost of a dinner or a five-dollar
bill some scavenger, who disgraces the reportorlal
fraternity, is induced to sounu tne preliminary note
of slander. I suppose we shall have the whole pack

say. in conclusion, is that, bo far as my action is con

Mr. Ingersoll then proceeded with bia remark, raplyinr
to tbe aigumenta of Mr. G.rnelci, and contending that it
waa pubho oontidence, not gold and silver, that formed'
the true basis of a paver currency.
He advocated an increase of tha circulating medium,
laying it down as an anom tbat tha nation whiub used tbe
most oircnlating medium waa tna nation which furnished)
tba greatest evidence of national prosperity and progres
sive civilisation. When Home waa at its height of glory '
and greatneas it had a gold circulating medium of seven
teen hundred millions of dollars, and witb tba faotura of
tba Spanish gold mines begun the deolioe of tbe Roman
empire. He ridiculed the idea of tbe United States re
suming specie payments, predicting that it would result
in national ruin and bankruptcy. It was easy for Great
Kritain to maintain specie payments with a ci-calatiag
medium of four hundred million dtllara in gold, and an.
anaaaliaooraa of M.u00,UU0in gold from nations whose
debts she beld. He protested against resuming soeoto
payments while tbe country was a debtor nation and bad'
not more than 8lM,(Xi,JU.
Ha declared that the idea of spsoie payment .u a deln.
sion, cheat, and fraud, and always bad been, and h
bi ped that tha people of tha United States would sea to

Mr. haorlall argued tbat tbia waa not the time for press

He explained and advocated an amendment which be had
ottered, authorizing an issue of $;m,(KiO,000 if greenbacks,
sail the redemption and cancellation of an eiual ataonnt
of national bank notes, witn a prohibition of any further
issue of national bank notes. He argued that the oironla

He therefore urged strenuously the adoption in whole,
