8 Tl 1.35 DAILY EVISNIING TELEGKAI'11 PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1871. ciTf ist i! i' x i k n c iiT SAWBOXES AHAI.V. Haw ti I.ooka nt iba .rilaln-tirtnreo nt the' llrastdr at hnrilT rniioata llovr he l.enras la Aii7 the I'rleclilee o( the "Curative Art." Recently we pictured tbo medical student In bis tragic rvle as a dlsector. Now we briefly tprsk of him as lie appears at the clinic. While all people naturally regard with abhor rence the work of dissection, tliny cannot deny thatitisof eminent service totheyouthfnl ..'Kicu lapian In the prosecution of his ditlicnlt study of medicine; and it is likely that if the student in general would pay more earnest attention to this department there would he fewer ((uaks, and a saving to the atllicted ponton of the community of an Incalculable amount of misery and torluic. Kjiial in importance with this branch of study U the inttructlou Riven at the clinic; or, In te. nis perhaps more generally un derstood, instruction at the bedside of the patient. For if a studcut can be taught how to put in practice day by day the theories he has acquired, and shown bow to utilize what he hat stored in his memory, then his advancement will be rapid and cuil'iin. So great is the importance to the embryo phvsieian of the clinical lectures, that all medi cal schools have established them, as also have the managers of charity hospitals, not only for the purpose ot affording a more thorough know ledge ol the science toils votaries, but to extend to a great community of poor poople advice and treatment in all their ailments without cost. Let iib look into one of these clinical lecture rooms. We enter with a crowd of visitors the portals of that estimable institution, the l'enn tjlvaula Hospital; but once within the gate, wo separate ourselves from our companions, who pursue their way through the open ward of the hospital, pass down the centre walk, and enter a neatly-appearing and comparatively new wing to the Institution on its northern side, which has an open roud way beneath it. Here, w hen we have mounted a series of steps, wo find ourselves upon the loftiest point of au am phitheatre where the medical and surgical cli nics are held. This room Is capable of setting about 200 persons, with semi-circular rows of stats, and steps between the rows so sharply inclined that, unless one is unusually wary, he will be quickly precipitated to the bottom. There is at the foot of this declivity a vortex, a little circular piece of Moor, in the middle of which stands a movable pedestal, whereon rests a black oll-cloth-covcred table, supported on a pivot, enabling it to be turned around with a slight effort. It is about ten o'clock in the morning, and the students from the various medical colleges swarm into the amphitheatre, crowd into the seats, and, until the cull to order, keep up a distracting buzz of conversation, re lieved by bursts of laughter. Soon the lecturers arrive, and in a moment the doors leading into the vortex of this amphitheatre are throwa open, and a patient, haggard iu look, trembling with lear, and with a silent appeal tor gentleness, Is rolled in and raised upon the oil-cloth-covercd table, where, with his bead supported, ho re clines. Four hundred eyes glare down upon him, aHd strong odors from chemicals, among which is easily distinguished the pungent smell of chloroform, aseail and almost overpower him. Tbo lecturer then, when all Is quiet and every ear attentive, suddenly breaks an oppressive silence, during which tho trembling victim hears nothing but the beating of his own heart, by entering upon an elaborate diagnosis of the dlteate which alllicls the prostrate person, cites similar cases that be has cured, describes the symptoms, and how tho disease may bo dissi pated iu its first stages, with a summary of what the usual results are when it permeates the entire system. To auy one but a medical person, the Latin technicalities used in such a lecture would appear the most barbarous jargon. Tho character of these lectures may be belter shown, though some of the words may perhaps be inex plicable to the reader, by citing a spuulmea la brief, thus: "Mr , aged 30, has had qnlte a violent cough for six months. Ills mother, lie states, died of con sumption, as did also his sinter and brother. Ills 1 at tier never had anything or the kind. XJe his had pleuriBy, which has left adhnslou between the external and internal pleura it trie right side. .Res piration is not free, aud there Is tuburouloas rale. Tiie respiratory murmur la free over both lungs, but weak. His appetite is good. He coughs at niiiht and throws up much mucus la the morning. He is in imminent danger of consumption unless lie commences immediately to secure himself against It. Let him take Fluid extratit San guinnria, two drachms; syrup ol Tolu, four ounces; fluid extract of frvtiui Virginiana ( lid cherry), two drachms; mix, and give a teaspoonful every three hours." The surgical clinics (the above being a speci men of the medical lecture) are perhaps more interesting, because sanguluary. Often in the hospital a patient Is in process of preparation, by the observance of certain dietary rules, and treatment, for many weeks before he is ready to be taken before the class to undergo a ditQcult surgical operation. A vast number of people, . among them many who arc In good circum stances, undergo operations at the surgical clinics of our hospitals and colleges; for not only Is the dillicult process carefully gone through with, but a great expense is saved. A fortnight ago, a wealthy gentleman living on West Arch street underwent successfully the dangerous operation of lithotomy at one of these clinics, and escaped a bill of $200, which is the usual price charged by any first-class surgeon. Each medical college, as we have said, has its clinics, conducted in the same manner, and in amphitheatres similar to that at the Pennsylva nia Hospital and having seen one vou have seen all. Next to that we have specially de scribed, the clinic at the Almshouse Hospital stands the most important. At colleges devoid of hospital arrangements for example, that attached to the University of Pennsylvania certain days are set apart when advice will be given and operations performed free of cojt. The impression may prevail that these are poor because gratuitous. But this is erroneous, since the most distinguished physicians and surgeons of Philadelphia are appointed lor clinical ser vice: and whf uever there is any vacancy in tho staff of lecturers, there is always a spirited rivalry among the M. D.'s to secure the position. They seek it because it enhances their reputa tion, and in teaching others they do but leach themselves. There are uow delivered at the Pennsylvania Hospital two elinlcal lectures a week, on Wed nesdays and (Saturdays, while at lilockley the number has hewn increased to six. At the latter the doors of the clinics are open to all grades of students, without price but the apple of discord Las fallen Into them and the female students are received with inaulfett indignation by the a j.le students. At the Pennsylvania Hospital the rule is that clinical lus truction may be given to females at the option of the lecturers, but only in tha female wards. Thus a recurrence of the disgraceful scenes which attended the pro miscuous clinics here given last year are avoided. Tn Recent Pnni!KiKS in Frankford F.xniiNED. On Wednesday last Mr. Wyoming Vardll, residing on Oxford avenue, above Frankford, had a set of harness stolen from bis stable, lie at once Informed Lieuienant McLea and fcergeant Shields of bis loss. From infor mation received the officers visited an uuoccu pied house In Frankford, where they were told two young men named Thomas E. Richardson and John RUey ware in the habit of sleeping. Upon entering these premises Sergeant Shields arrested Kiley avid the Lieutenant took Richard son itto custody as be was endeavoring to escape by a cellar window. The stolen set of bamef s was found on the first floor. The pris oners after their arrest acknowledged to have stolen five other sets of harness, and told whero they bad sold them. ilev also admitted having stolen a lot of lead pipe from a house in that neighborhood. Alderman Kerne committed them both jto prison for trial. Tub English Oi'EUi. A season of English opera will commence at the Academy of Music on February 0.

OIK HORSE CARS. A Colllslao at tirrtm oad Fraaklla Street. About 9 o'clock this morning a car of the Green and Coates Streets Passenger Railway, with four horses attached, was coming down Green street at an ordinary rate of speed. As they approached Franklin street a Richmond car of the Union line crossed Green, followed closely by a Navy Yard car. The swingle-tree of the leaders of the Green street car caught in the dasher of the latter, and the animals were dragged for some distance. Tho pole horses becoming frightened commenced kicking, and for a lime the bind heels of one more vicious than his companion beat quite a lively tattoo on the dasher, to tho utter t onjternatlon of the driver. He wound up this unseemly behavior by thrusting his head through a window of the Union car. After lolnurelv surveying the as sembled passengers, the aflrightcd brute with drew it. Meanwhile both Jehus, in connec tion with their respective conductors, fell to Violently abusing each other, In which they were joined by the byttanders and a few Impa tient passengers. Soon the gruif tone9 of tho conductor of tho Green street car, a burly Eng lishman, was heard asking the passengers to pet out of the car "and help to shove her back." This was received with anything but good humor by the riders, who, muttering "curse loud and deep," tumbled pell-mell out into the two or three feet of snow pilcii tip on either side of the track, and pushed the car back. The Union line car then went on Its way down Seventh street, and ns soon as the harness had been adjusted the other carstarted oJl'at a lively rate of speed. Whereupon there was an imme diate rush for the rear platform ny ttioso who had aliuhtcd to assist in getting tbe car under way. Finally, all succeeded in getting a foot hold, nnd soon they were comfortably stored way inside. AN OUTRANK. A Your Ittnn Nrnrly Ilrnrrn to Dentil nnd Kohbt-d on the UUIivv.iy. About two weeks ago a young man named William Willia-d returned to his home in tho tipi er section of the city shortly after midnight. Learning that bis sister, who was vWithig a friend, w:is not ft home, he started after her. W ten on Girard avenue, near Hancock street, he was accosted by a strange man, who iniired the time. As WiJliard was in the act of replying the etninper knocked him down, and two other men run over from the market house. The three then beat bim to Insensibility, and after robbing bim of his watch, W) In money, sleeve buttons, aud shirt-studs, threw him into the glitter, where he was subsequently found by his sinter while on her way home. He was con veyed to bis house and a physician called In, but up to the present writing he still remains unconscious; it is feared lie cunot live. Three young men, named William B. Buck, Jacob Everly. and Thomas Doran, have been arrested on suspicion of being tho parties who com mitted the villanous act. Alderman Shoemaker committed the trio to await the result of Wil liard's in juries. The Piiiladkm-hia SoriETr rott Am.e- VIATINO TIIK MlSEltlES OF PlliUC PlUSONH.

Tho ex cessively bad weather of last night did not prevent the Young Mamnerchor ball at the Academy of Music from being a remarkably brilliant entertainment. The building was rowded with a gay throng of ladles and gen tlemen, bent on enjoying themselves despite the snow and wind which made the Btreets of the city so dismal after nightfall, and tho whole aflair passed off In a manner highly satisfac tory to all who were concerned In it. The ball opened at 9 o'clock with a grand carnival pro cession, in which figured a great number of emblematic figures, the war between F'ranco and Germany giving hints for a variety of sug gestive devices, prominent among which was a series of tableaux representing the union of the German States and the awakening of the old Emperor Barbarossa, who greeted the Emperor William as bis successor. These tableaux were arranged in very artistic style, and were greeted with uproarlons applause. The dancinar, whleh commenced after the conclusion ot the tableaux, was kept up until a late hour, and the ball was pronounced by all who participated to be one of the most enjoyable ever given iu the Aca demy. Doings or the Wateii Dkcautment. Twenty-six miles and 1153 feet of water-pipe have been laid in various parts of the city by tho Water Department during the year 1870. The longest main, of unusually large size, Is that which Is laid from the Corinthian avenue basin to Washington avenue. Tho new water works at Belmont are now In operation and supply West Philadelphia. The reservoir, however, Is not yet connected with the main laid across the Schuylkill, near the Columbia bridge. At the Spring Garden works the foundations for the new double cylinder are nearly completed. This when erected jwill increase the capacity of the works about 10,000,000 gallons per day". At Falrmouut the work of blasting tbe rock to ac commodate the third turbine wheel is being rapidly pushed forward. The'Regietcr of Water is now busily engaged In receiving water rents fori&Tl.

One of the ollicers went lor the Weccacos Fire Company, who soon extinguished the flames. It appears that Captain Lunsle was endeavoring to fill a lighted coal-oil lamp, whereupon an explosion ensued. The captain was badly burned ahouttbe face and hands. Tiik CnE8Nt-T Street 8katinq Rink.

Favre at Versailles and that that he was received to-day created a great excitement, although at present it Is not officially confirmed. As soon as tbe news of the supposed inteuded capitulation was noised abroad, the streets were speedily filled with joyful crowds. Great numbers of people repaired at once to tne palace, in hopes of seeing the (Jueen, and to bear from her lips tbe glad intelligence promis ing a speedy return of peace. They were dis appointed in their expectation, as no telegram bad reached her Majesty. All public olllces and business generally were suspended, their opera tives being anxious to gather news. The general belief is, in well-informed circles, that the rumor6 of negotiations, looking toward capitulation, are true, for the fact of Jules Favre's presence at V rsallles is undoubted, but some believe h9 may have gone there in the hope of obtaining a military pass to the London conference. The fact is officially known here that only five days full rations are left In Parts from to day. At the War Office great preparations are making for the conveyance and reception of a large number of prisoners. Different locations are designated. FROM nilSIIIJVGTOJV. STha Bankrupt Law.

He was offered all the money he needed if he could obtain from Governor Lindsay a promise to recommend the present Legislature to acknowledge the bonds or agree to extend the time, but the Governor positively refused to do either. Mr. Stanton says he has provided money to pay all the floating debt and complete the road, which now lacks only forty miles, In forty days from date.
