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.

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 Yolno M.knnerciior Bali.. 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. Bills can be
paid until the 1st of May without penalty, but
after that date five per cent will be added.
Moiie Cakei.essness. bout 8 o'clock last
night, Oflicers English, McDerinott, and Kuhu,
of tbe Delaware Harbor Police, heard a peculiar
noise at the foot of Balnbrldge street. On near
Ing the wharf they perceived a bright light
through one of the cabin windows of the
schooner Chlmo, Captain Lunsle commanding.
Upon boarding the vessel they found it to be ou
fire. 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.

Beui.in, Jan. 25. The report of the arrival
of M. 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.

St. Lot: ih, Jan. 27 Governor Brown sent a
special message to the Legislature yesterday, In
which he very ably discusses the divorce laws,
and recommends the establishment of a State
House ot Refuge for juvenile criminals, a
thorough geological survey of the State, and a
complete revh ion of the revenue and insurance
laws. The Governor eecms to think adultery
the only rufliclent cause for absolute divorce,
and suggests that this act be made penal, and
when evidence of adultery is sufllcient to justify
legal separation, the guilty party should be
punished by the same judgment that grants tho
divorce.
Tbe Alabama nnd Chattanooga Railroad.
Chattanooga, Jan. 27. The Chattanooga
Times contains a report of an interview with J.
C. Stanton, General Superintendent of the
Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad. He says
the -reason that the January Interest was not
paid by bis road on the bonds endorsed by the
State of Alabama , was that it might be ascer
tained if the present administration of Alabama
would recognize the validity of the bonds issued
by the last Legislature in aid of railroads.
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. He will then pay Interest on
his bonds, and will ask no more indorsement
rom the State of Alabama.
