Women as Physicians.
To the Etrtor of Th 4 Press :
: "1 lace aim dames" is an injunction not mere
ly of gallantry, but, in many domestic relations, of
decency and common sense. Especially should room
be made in the field of medical practice for educated
and sympathetic women. The vanity 'of our sex
may deny to the physically weaker one the power of
profound reasoning, or the talent of great and ori
ginal discovery ; but how many of the able practi
tioners of the healing art of the superior sex arere
,
nowned as deep thinkers, or discoverers of new
laws or ;unknown facts of science? What do they
know but What they have been taught by their pro
fessors and books or have Picked up empirically
the practice of their profession? Will any one
doubt that, if women are permitted the same oppor
tunities, they will make an equally sagacious and
advantageous use of them There is, therefore, no
'natural inaptitude that shuts out woman from the
honors and usefulness of medical art. Nay, more: is
all time she has shown a peculiar readiness and
adaptation in that direction. No man is [rata
rally a doctor; but every woman is by right
divine a nurse. She stands at the physician's
aide; his most efficient executive, his trusted
lieutenant in his attack upon the citadel of ill
nem. Now, it has ever been deemed that an un
questionable passport to promotion to a higher grade
of service is to be found in fidelity, skill, and suc
cess, in the discharge of lower and preparatory duty.
Bow unjust it is that Woman only should be an
exception to this rule of right! With ample intelli
gence, a delicate expertness, patience,' and tender
ness inexhaustible, a heroism that no danger can
- daunt, and a consciousness of duty that sustains her
in labors most onerous, and offensive, she exhibits
every qualification for higher trust that could, be de
manded. Indeed, if a competitive test upon the basis
of similar qualification could be established, by which
to try male medical candidates for diplomas and
degrees, how many of the now successful aspirants
could abide the ordeal? Must women, then, forever
fight on as privates in the ranks, without hope of
winning a commission in the great warfare waged
by science and skill against disease and death?
The enlargement of woman's sphere of - work is
.
one of the most pressing social problems of this age.
The solution may be remote, but is inevitable. We
may promote it by a liberal and just acknowledg
ment of-her - abilities and claims to aid in the divine
task of assuagint the ills of physical humanity. To
tale cffice,.espeoially, 'does woman seem summoned
by our moral sense of fitness, and by the holy voice
of nature.
I am, dr, very respectfully,
A 'FRIEND OF WOMAN
Tobacco for the Soh:tiers.
To the Editor of The PresB
•Sin: Allow the to make known to the benevolent
readers of The Press a want that exists almost uni
vernally among the wounded soldiers here in the
hospktals—that is the want of tobacco. As soon as
they become convalescent, that intense longing, so
well understood by those addicted to the use of
tobacio, returns, and increases as health returns,
until, as soldiers have told me, "the.days are awful
long without it." The true American soldier sel
dom begs, and least of all for a luxury. So they
must forego this gratification, unless some one is
Thoughtful enough to bestow unasked. Notwith
standing the soldier's delicacy as regards begging,
- there le one place in the city where he has not the
least hesitancy to ask—the Sanitary Commission.
Then . the question is, cannot some (or all) of our pa
triotic citizens each contribute a little—a paper of
smoking tobacco, or a " plug" of cavendish, cigars,
or pipes—and, although most of it will soon "end in
smoke,” the gratitude of the recipients will' not be
so evanescent, and surely their sacrifices for the
country commend them to almost every indulgence.
Then send donations of the article in question to
The Sanitary Commission, 1307 Chestnut street,
where it will find its way into the hands of the sol
dier. lam respectfully yours, A. W. fit.

Tit SUBSTITUTE BBOKERS.—There is in
every community a class of adventurous nien who
ere never known to follow any particular pursuit,
or to belong to any honorable trade or profession.
They are of that kind possessing the übiquitous
quality. of being "always about." With :no mode
el living they live, and with no future prospects
revel in present success. They dress well and feed
well;'patronize fashionable resorts, and are never
smspeeted of being in reduced circumstances: They
are always "on the make," and continually realizing
in thernielves how much truth there is in the old
fproverb, "that it is an ill wind which blows no one
...good." The creatures of circumstances, they so
- .4nould and shape circumstances as that hey shall
be profited, even at other 'people's expense. At one
- time they are quack doctors or showmen- again
--turning up as horse-jockeys or gamblers. Yester
day they were small-fry politicians, or pettifoggyng
lawyers; today they are substitute brokers. Last
week they_were pedlet aof small wares, or vendors
of newspapers on railroad cars; now they are.in
the insurance business, soliciting patronage, or look
king after the claims of discharged soldiers, at a no
, =nal percentage. At the watering-places you
thll These industrious idlers, attracting attention by
the 'gaiety of their attire, and the originality of their
genius. They improvise horse races which don't
-come off', and turn an honest pinny by getting up
masked dances and sack runnings. On the prone
made none hold their heads higher, or look with
more contempt upon the lesser humanity. Their
way of existence is mysterious, and one finds a diffi
culty in reconciling the fact that the less work"a
men is guilty of, the better off fie becomes in the
world. The substitute broker is a new player upon
the every-day stage. He is a man of parts anti in

He has a keen eye and a ready tongue, affable in
manners, and not devoid of an open, generous heart.
His feelings are tender, and he is filled with corn

not complain of oppression in the conscription act,
but hie heart is filled with grief for the oppressed.
By a singular freak - of fortune, which always attends

by others , fruits shall you know him. For a consi

has no scruples of conscience as to the price at which
lie receives, and the price at which he gives.
He forms intimatesicquaintance with those whom,
under other circumstances, he would feel ashamed
to associate with. He searches in alleys and lanes,
along the wharves, and at the gates of prisons, for
men, whom he would entice away in the glare of a

.11NUEST Alqb VERDICT.—Coroner Con
rad, yesterday, held an inquest upon the body of
Mr. E. A. Marshal, of Carlisle. Pa. It seems that
he had recently,arrived in Philadelphia, in search
of a substitute. While standing with a few friends
on Delaware avenue, near Market street, on Mon-
Zay afternoon, a loaded wagon approached slowly.
Theparty stepped aside to let the wagon pass. air.
IVlaftbal, however, did not get far enough out of the
way. The hub of the front wheel struck him, and
he was thrown. The hind wheel passed over him,
from the effects of which he died shortly after, ad
mission into the Pennsylvania Hospital. The enro
l:ter made a most searching itivestigation'into all the
facts and circumstances attending the death of the
unfortunate mon. The jury rendered - a verdict`of
accidental death. The driver of the wagon, being
under arrest, was at once aischarged from custody.

ILTiiited States District Court—Judge Cad-
wit - bider.
The court met yesterday morning, but there was
no business ready for the petit jurors; and they were
4lischarged Jinni this morning.
Court of Oyer and Terminer and Quarter
Seosiono—Judge Ludlow.
The court .was in session yesterday, and heard a
:number. of soldiers' habeas corpus cases. Four
minors were discharged. In one case the hearing
was continued until Saturday, in order to allow the
parents of the,boy to produce further proof of his
minority, the: evidence offered, not being clear
enough to satisfy the court on this point.
Another case was - interesting on account of its
:novelty: Jacob Rowland, the relator, was drafted
last year, in Chester county, to serve nine months,
'hut the examining physician gave him a verbal ex
mptier'. on account of physical disability. He never
presented himself, therefore, at the camp for drafted
- men, birt remained at home.. The term for which he
was drafted has now expired, and some friend:of his
told him it was necessary that he should have a writ•
lien discharge from the service of the United Statei,
and he accordingly came to this city and surrendered
himself to the provost guard as a deserter, and they
•held him as such. •The writ of habeas corpus was
- then sued out, and the court, yesterday morning, or
'tiered:his discharge, but only from the custody of the
provost guaci, not from the service of the United
THE POLICE.
Police Reminiscence.
The lots' history of Philadelphia contains some
- -very inters sting items that may prove acceptable in
'these 'dull times, as refreshing mementoes of the
past. We well remember one,Lthat _at the time
!mulled not a little consternation-among , the pollee
of Philadelphia. Charles Gilpin,`Esq., was Mayor
of the city at the time. It was previous to °orison
-dation. far. Gilpin was one of the 'mast energetic
functionarleithat ever filled the executive chair of
iPhiladelphia.' He was often astir at nights when
many of the " Oharlies,” as they were then called,
were fast asleep in their boxes at the street cornets,
instead of being abroad watching', with guardian
cal e, the property and the lives of the sleeping in
habitants of Philadelphia.
Mr. Gilpin used to resort to many expedients to
keep his men faithful to their work. Stormy nights
of rain, hall, wind, or snow, wereigenerally selected
by him to proceed on an adventure. This fact be
came proverbial ; so much so, that on such nights,
the men used to say to each other,las they were
about divergtog from the several station-houses of
-tbe old city proper, " Look out for Oharlie, to
!"
Mr. Gilpin, however, was shrewd, very energetic
and firm, and every way entitled to the confidence
which the community then reposed in him, He was
not to be outwitted In any manner, shape, or form,
and therefore, on one bright moonlight night in au
tumn, he went forth on a self-imposed mission. He
was so completely disguised that he could not have
known himself if half a dozen mirrors were beore
or all around him. His powers of mimickry were
excellent. He could talk with the sweet German
accent or the rich Irish brogue so that his nearest
friend would not recognize him.
On the night in question_, he appeared as a Berke
county Dutchman, remarkable in those days for
want of common sense. He had a gray wig on an i
huge whiskers to match;. an overcoat with cape,
pretty well floured like a miller. He affseted to be
decidedly intoxicated. The first favorable opportu.
nity afforded his Honor on the night in question, was
a police officer leaning against an old oil•lamp post ;
at Seventh and Arch streets.
The gentleman from Berke county staggered. up
against him
' exalaiming, " Vat's that you means, to
cheat a shentleman yen he 000 ms vrom Perks noun
ty—l reports you to der mayor."
" Yer , e a little drunk the night," responded the
"Charlie."
Pm a shentlemans vrom Perks connty mit mine
money ash I spend mit my vriends, vat I carries in
mine bocket.”
"And where De you going, old man, at this time in
the morning?" said the police.
"To der Pulls Head, on Market street."
"An ye have money about ye, a'int ye nfeered of
getting robbed 7"
"Vere's der Pulls Headi" said the stranger.
"I'll take ye there fora five."
"For five toilers 7" responded the Dutchman. "VY,
I gift you mine boeket-pook if you finds der Pulls
At this moment the book containing five hundred
dollars in counterfeit notes was handed to the officer.
. .
On taking it, he exclaimed, "I put ye into me
breast pocket for safe keeping." •
The two started away, the Dutchman staggering
pretty freely, and mumbling out something Barks
county dialect that the officer did not understand.
At the next street corner another officer was met,
and the Dutchman was handed over to him by his
fellow-official' who directed that he should be taken
to the Bull's Head tavern ; that he was a poor Penn
sylvania Dutchman, caught 'out late, and had no
money ; that somebody had robbed him.
The second officer treated the stranger very well.
While going along he read him a sound lecture on
the evils of intemperance, and the risk that stranger'
from the country always run when they come to the
city and get drunk. He finally landed him safely at
the Bull's Head. The Dutchman felt for some
money to reward the officer, but the latter refused
to take a cent. Telling the night watch of the
Bull's Head that he had better put the Dutchman
to bed, he took his departure and resumed his official
business.
The next morning, at 10 o'clock, there was a scene
in the private office of. Mayor Gilpin. Officer --
was sent for
"Did you see anything of an intoxicated German,
about two o'clock this morning."
"I saw siveral men as was intoxicated, sur, and
One on 'em was purty Dutch, your. Honor."
" Why didn't you arrest them? You are aware of
the order P' responded the Mayor.
" Well, anw," said the officer, "as to the matter'o'
that, they were just doin' notiin', at all, at all."
"Didn't you take one of them to the Bull's Heed
Hotel; on Market street?" • .
"I did not, sur."
" Were you not at the Bull's Head yourself ?"
"Indade, plaze yer honor, I nicer - go off' me
bate.'" .
You are sure you didn't go to the BulPs Read l"
"As I have a sowl to be saved, I didn't."
"You didn't ask anybody for a 'Aver "
The officer did not seem to comprehend the Mayor,
who repeated the question. .
"Come,`out with it; did you 'strip' a Dutch-
Man 7" Strip, means to take all his money. - -
The officer was rather dumb•tounded. He then re
membered that he handed , over an intoxicated
Duichipan to a fellow-officer.
Officer No. 2 was called in. The Mayor intimated
very strongly that he had taken all the money from
the Dutchman.
• This.was indignantly denied. Officer No. 1 was
then charged with doing the same thing. He, too,
denied the accusation.
"Did not you put it into your breast-pocket for
eafe-keeping 1" said the Mayor, looking at officer.
No. 1 with a most penetrating gaze.
The officer turned pale ; he stuttered and stam
mered ; he equivocated, he was gone.
"Where's the five hundred dollars," demanded
the Mayor, who now spoke less in parable form.
"I—l was the drunken Dutchman; I was one of
the peaceable, drunken men, that staggered against
you at the lamp post."
" Come, give me the five hundred dollars—dip
gorge—where is the money?"
"At home, air," said the downcast officer.
" Who has it?"
"It is in me trunk, eur."
A messenger. was sent to the officer's residence.
The book with the $5OO was recovered; the officer
was promptly dismissed.
Officer number two was promoted, and from that
day to this he has ever had a firm friend in the per
son of Mr. Charles Gilpin, who could appreciate an
honest•man as heartily as despise a dishonest one.
(Before. Mr. Aldermai White.)
Concealed Deadly Weapon.
The young men known to the police as Buglers' ,
were arraigned yesterday morning at the Union
street station, on.the charge of disorderly conduct.
It seems that rate on Monday night, or, rather,
early yesterday morning, the defendants were' en
gaged in tearing out a house in Grissom street, for
Green's court. The furniture was pretty well
smashed, and the destruction of other things was
about to follow. Police officers 'hastened to the
scene, and arrested three of the parties and con
ducted them to the lock-up. -Certain residents in
the neighborhood • said they would appear against
them. They did not appear. On the person of one
of the defendants was found a dirk knife. The charge
of carrying a concealed deadly weaponwas preferred
against him. The accused gave the name of James
Wilson. He was ordered to enter bail in the sum of.
$6OO to answer at court. - The other parties were
bound over to be of future good behavior.
[Before Mr. Becoider Boon.
False Pretences.
David Sink was arraigned before the Recorder,
yesterday afternoon, on the charge of obtaining
money under false preteaces. It seems that he had
agreed to go as a substitute for Bernard R. Heifer,
a drafted man. At the provost marshal's office he
swore. that he was over 20 years of age. Just about
this time the father of the lad appeared With an offi
cer of the United States court, having a writ of
habeas corpus, demanding that the said boy be
brought before Judge Cadwalader peremptorily.
The writ was responded to at once, and the case
was heard before the Judge. The father swore the
lad was only 17 years of age. The lad was there
fore discharged. '
Mr. Coffey, the United States ; District Attorney,
immediately proceeded to the office of Recorder
Eneu, and entered a charge against the enthusiastic
South, of obtaining money under false pretences.
and making the United States Goiiernment lose a
man. On this charge the defendant was committed
to prison to await his trial.

A Y ER'S COMPOUND EXTRACT
SARSAPARILLA. —No one remedy is more needed
In this country than a reliable Alterative, but,the sick
have been so outrageously cheated by the worthless pre
parations of Sarsaparilla abroad that 'they are disgusted
even with the name. Yet the drug cannot be blamed far
the impositions from which they have suffer, d. Most of
the so-called Sarsaparillas in the market contain little
of the virtues of Sarsaparilla or anything else, They
are mere slope—inert and worthless, while a concen•
trated extract of the active variety of. Sarsaparilla com
pounded with Dock. StiDingia, lodine,'etc., is, as it ever
will be, "a powerful. alterative and an effectual remedy.
Such is Ayer's Extract of Sarsaparilla, as its truly won.
derfal cares of the great variety of complaints which re
quire an alterative medicine have abundantly shown.
Do not, therefore, discard this invaluable medicine, be
cause you have been imposed upon by something pre
tending to be Sarsaparilla, while it was not. When 7or
