WOMEN As pinisainAllin;
No feature of the general question oftScra.
man's Rights is exciting more attentilli than
the recognition of women as regular medical
practioners. There Is scarcely•a meeting of
a medical associaticat in which this question
does not come up, and it is generally dis
posed of aFlspeedily as possible- by deckling
that this particular right of women is not to
he respected at present. The Philadelphia
County Medical Society's Convention pre
sented lately an argument taking ground
that there were not a sufficient number of
- well oducated - wotnen, or Womensufficiently
well educated, to embraco this profession.
If this is the only reason for el:eluding 'fe
males, the argument falls to the ground. Ob
erlin, Antioch, Vassar, and RutgeniCollegei
are graduating every year hundreds of young
women, who, so far as-education and gener
al accomplishments are concerned, are vasUy
in advance of many of the young men who
go to Philadelphia, or Now York, or enter
medical colleges elsewhere, to become what
Bob Sawyer calls ."saw-bones in training."
It is not likely that women will evtir become
eminent surgeons ; but in this, as 1011 as in
every other pursuit, women will find their
proper place. No woman has yet written
a great epic, or a noted opera, anW even the
great pianists are found among men. But
those- women who are entirely competent
- will take that place in the medical profession
for which they are fitted: The question has
used the bounds of controversy and already
assumes the phase of an established fact. All
that remains is to see whether what woman
promises to do professionally can be accom
plished, and if the introduction of this new
element in the medical profession shall be
an additional and-valuable means of allevia
ting human suffering.
now EVERY MAN CAN" Prim-rut: .t Ifomx
sTEAn.—The falling off of business in most
of our cities and towns, and the probability
that before long many
o working,men may be
thrown out of employment, Lq eausini atten
tion to be directed to the opportunities for
this elass.of our population still existing in
the unoccupied lands of the West. The Gov-.
ernment-still onus millions upon niiilionq of
acres, which it sells for a mere song, and to
those who have a taste for agriculture, the
chance -which it affords them is without a
parallel in any other portion of the world.
The homestead law, passed May 20th, 1862,
provides that any person who Is the bead of
a family, twenty-one years of -age, n citizen
of the I,:nited States, or one who has filed his
intention to become so, in accordance with
the . naturalization laws, and who has not
borne arms against the United States or giAen
aid or support to their enemies, shall be" tfi
titled to enter one quarter section (IGO acres)
of unappropriated lands on which he has
filed a pre-emption claim, or which may, at
the time his application is filed, be subject to
pre-emption, the price being $1.2.1 or less per
acre ; or lie can enter eighty acres or less, at
42.50 per acre, ip he located in a body. Per
sons applying for the benefit of this Act are
required to make affidavit to the above enu
merated qualifications of age, citizenship, &c.,
arid, in addition, must take oath that the ap
plication is made for their ezelusive' benefit,
and that the entry is made for the purpose of
actual settlement and cultivation. The affl-
davit is to'be made to the Register or Receiv
er at the Land office. On filing said affidavit
and paying ten dollars to the Register or Re
ceiver, the applicant will be entitled to enter
the land he proposes to cultivate. The cer
tificate and patent will be issued after the
claimant baS occupied and cultiTfited his
land for five years,'which fact must be proved.
Besides the ten dollars paid to the Register or
Receiver, each of. these officers receive one
per cent. on the value of the purchase at the
time of -the entry, and an additional one per
cent. when the claim is finally established.
In every portion of the West where the Gov
envaent owns large tracts of land it has es
tablished offices for its gale, where persons
wishing to locate under the Homestead Law
can secure such information as they request:

imagines the other to be respectively an angel
and a God, (alas ! how soon they are de
ceived); at the end of the first month, the
end of the honeymoon, is' the "sugar wed
ding ;" two years after the 'marriage is the
"paper wedding;" the fifth anniversary is
the "wooden wedding:" the tenth the " tin
wedding ;" the fifteenth the "crystal wed
ding;" the.twentieth the " china wedding ;"
the twenty-fifth the " silver wedding ;" the

fifth the "diamond wedding."
A NEW NAME
. FOl2 AN OLD DLSEASE.—
While a young.married lady wa's giving her
"liege" a hearty scolding. o.n a New York
train, another lady remarked that " Mrs.
,------ was evidently -suffering with a se
vere attack of Inflarimatien, if Me hivosi
tion."
How FASHIONS .11Q1AM AFFECT TILE AP
ITABANCE.—The ladies, particularly the
younger portion, will follow fashion in dres
sing their heads regardless of consequences.
No matter how hideous a peculiar manner of
arranging the hair may make them appear,
the hair is worn in that style so long as it is
the fashion. Of late the hump -or waterfall
has been worn high on the back of the head,
and it has been somewhat circumscribed
while it was made higher in its.prefection
from the head: Thu effect of this is to give
the lady an immense length of head, meas
ured by a line running from the pointof the
chin to the top of, the hump. If the
chin be long the more striking is the effect
produced, and the larger headed the girl can
make herself the more she is up to the fash
ion. Add to this fashion the little tint, oyster
shell—or whatever it maybe called—worn as
an apology for a bonnet, pitched upon the
forehead, with straggling curls as a forepiece,
and you see a piing lady who looks as though
she had, lost all her "friends—had been ill
with dyspepsia for a year, or had been fitting
herself for a foot race. All this applies' only
to those ladies whose faces are not particu
larly round or fut. It is gratifying to notice
that the waterfalls air working down on the
backs of the ladies heads, and braids have
been suspended therefrom to relieve% them of
their deformity somewhat.
GROW= OF Pnmstormma.—The popula
tion of Philadelphia is now greater than that
of any European city; except London, Paris,
and . probably Constantinople. The other
prominent and.. populous European cities
rank as follows; Berlin, in 1861, 547,571;
St. Petersburg, in 1858, 220,131;-Vienna, in
1857, 476,.W2 ;- Live in 1806, 484,337;
Naples, in 1862, 447,11 • ; Glasgow, in 1866,
4=,265. Philadelphia contained, in 1866,
665,529, and this has since, no doubt, been
increased to • upwards of 700,000, and may
now teach 750,000. The population of-Lon
don, according tothe census taken last year,
was 8,037,991, and of Paris, according to the
French census of 1860,1,825,274. The Press
says the growth of Philadelphia has been so
steady and uniform,its promerityrests on such
a solid basis, and there are so thw-obstacles
to its indefinite extension, that it is destined
at- no distant period to become one of the
most populous cities in the world, to rival
Paris or Landon, as it has already outstripped
Vienna, Berlin,Naples and St: Petersburg.

INTERVIEW WITH GEN. LEE.
llavingMade a somewhat close study of
the campaigns of General Lee, and having,
besides, followed with interest his operations
on the actual field of battle, I had long been
desirous of learning by personal sight and
converse what manner of man he L. -The
proffer of an introduction by a personal
friend enabled me to gratify Ibis wish; and,
after breakfast, we repaired to the residence
of the chieftain of the Army of Northern
Virginia. lt stands on Collegs Hill, and is a
modest brick dwelling with white wooden
pillars in front, placed amid a pretty garden
shaded with some fine trees and a large soli
tary weeping willow. The house is surround
ed 'by a high - fern hedge that lends it some
what the air of aristocratic seclusion,' Al
though it was no later than nine in the Morn
cGen. Lee had already gone to his'office
to the college, which is but a stone's throw
removed. Here was a table piled up with
papers, college catalogues and text-bOoks t
but no reminiscence of war was yisibie, no
sword, or spur, or insignia. Whatever met
the eye was entirely academic, not h 7 the
least military. And seated at the table was
a handsome-looking gentleman, dressed in a
uniform suit of pepper-and-salt color—a very
portly, well-preserved gentleman of some
four and fifty, with a fine bronzed complex
ion, a nobly-moulded nose, compact head,
gray hair, and beard of the same color, close
ly cropped—who rose to shake hands in a
courtly, gracious manner. It was' the man
who wielded the thunders of Chancellors
ville and the Chicahominy—it was President
Lea
With the putting of the harness of war,
Lee has laid aside all concern with the war
and its thoughts, reminiscences and passions
and is devoting himself exclusively to the in
terests of Washington College. To this fact,
was due that, on the occasion of this, my
first interview, I was only able to see him for
a few minutes; for he was on the point of
leaving to meet an appointment with the
Common Council of the town—a body be
fore which he had to lay a question of great
pith and moment, to wit: the grading of a
new pathway to the college building. It is
such abstruse and difficult problemsthat now
engage liis attention ; and if I learn alight,
he finds it harder to hold his own in these
controversies than he did in the deadly im
minent point of battle. He was good enough,
however, to make an appointment with me
for another hour; and on meeting him on his
return I had with him a long, full and frank
conversation. If it would be of any interest
to your readers to learn what are his views
touching such questions in the Virginia cam
paign as I had occasion to ask enlightenment
from him, it would yet be, impossible for me
to make•theSe public, seeing it was the ex
press request of Gon. Lee that I should re
frain from doing so. He has a mortal dread
of appearing in the papers, and, considering
how he has been misrepresented, this is not
wonderfuL- I may say' that with his friends
he never recurs to the subject of the war;
nor did he to me express any opinion on po
litical matters. I, understand, however, from
those who are in intimate daily converse with
him, that he is strongly in favor of the peo
ple of his State, and of the South, "coning
right up, frankly accepting the situation,
and earnestly pursuing the work of nieon
struction.r
Personally, lie is at present in the flush of
health. He frequently rides but; and ft - te
clearest image I have been able to form of
him in the war-like mood, came to me this
afternoon when, with high-top boots and
letithent gauntlets, he inde out on the game
gray horse that used to bear hint in the stress
of battle. He is greatly beloved by the peo
ple for his modesty, gentleness and goodness,
and is prodigious favorite with the children.
" If you should see him as he •moves about
among us," said one of the people of the
town to me, "and the unaffected kindness
and simplicity of his life, you, might fancy
what he would be in greatness." He has
added great prosperity to the town, and
Washington College, under his Presidency,
has been lifted from the grade of a broken
down nendemy to the position of a respec
able and highly,flourishing institution of
learning.
That Gen. Lee will figure in history, wheA
it comes to be written with full light and
without passion or prejudice, as a very able
commander, a skillful methodical soldier,
who made several admirable defensive cam
psigas, fought two or three brilliabt 'aggres
sive actions, protracted the war on the limi
ted theatre of Virginia for font...years by a
careful husbandry of his resources, and
finally succumbed only to greatly superior
numbers, may, I conceive, be readily con
ceded.
That he will figure, as the South now fig
ures him, in the light of a first-class Captain,
may, I believe, be fairly doubted. His char
acter takes its shape rather from an admirable
balance of intellectual and moral qualities
than-from the possession of an overmaster
ing power. Some men—a very few—are ad
equate ; "thev are supreme, they embody rev
olutions, they are alone worthy of study.
Lee was not of such. lie lacked passianlhe
lacked abandon ; perhaps—here 1 speak cau
tiously—lie lacked true conviction. And - yet
I think he lacked true conviction. For it is
well known that he was an ardent loveriief
the Union, and that he was, as I have learned
since I came here, always an emancipation
ist. He was, therefore, not the type_Of nor
the leader of that fierce and Titan spilt that
sought in the ruin of a nation to erect an
empire on the foundation of Slavet.y. • Such
a spirit needed embodiment in a brain and
hand swift and aggressive and flamboyant as
itselE Nor, on the other hand, was he' great
• enough to stand forth as a patriot; but he
permitted himself to. be drawn into the vor
tex of passion that seethed and bubbled in
his section, to be allured by poor blind falla
cies instead of following the inspirations of
greatness. I think he is far from happy. And
yet his fame as a soldier, though not fast
class, is very sound and complete, so that
now, away from the field of war, and buried
here in quiet academic life, arson g these se
cluded lulhcit seems as though hehad passed
away from earth. He is all that is left of
Virginia, Inagua mater drum, out of the
wreck of a revolution. Is it, then, wonder-
Jul that Virginians almost adore him?—'

{l, correspondent of the Rochelle (Illinois)
Register locates the following near that
place. Though the story is considerably
older than the correspondmt, it is worth
reading: "A. young lads heard that if she ,
would go out and pray three successive -
nights the Lord would tell her who she
would merry. Now - it-ha that her
father had a young man in his empppened,
loy who
had considerable wit and good humor about
him. One evening he was out on an apple
tree after fruit, when he heard some one
praying something like . this: "0, Lord who
will I marry?" The Idea popped into young
Doyle's (that being the young man's name)
mind that he would have a little sport at her
expense. So he spoke in a. Clawed voice,
.and said "Doyle." "No, Lord,. not Doyle,"
cried the astonished young lady. ' "Yes,
Doyle, or no one," again sounded from the
tree top in a sober, hollow voice. She arose
and entered the house, - resolvsd to try again
the next evening. Of course-Doyle did not
wish to spoil the fin, and so the next even
ing found him seated in the tree top. He
did not have long to-wait before the young
husband-seeker came and commenced pray
ing in the same way that she did the pre
ceding evening, and received the same -an
swer. The next evening also found her un- .
der the tree pleading to know her future
husband's name, and again she heard the •
answer, "Doyle or no one." She arose, feel
ing satisfied that she must marry Doyle.
• The next morning she met him and asked
him why lie did not dress up and put on bet
ter clothes. lie said lie was not able,
"Well," said she, "father is rich and he will
let you have money." He took that for
.a
pretty good hint and bought -a new suit of
clothes. In a short time he offered his heart
and hand, and was accepted. After their
marriage lie told her how her
. prayers were
answered. If any of the faif-readers of this
'Story should. think of pray i for a husband
do not go under a tree, or if you do'be sure
and examine it closely and see if there is any
one to answer it"
A Rica livernwrr.—A convention ofNorth

arm, and made an attempt to pull us in the
direetionle wished togo. He then left and

seemed by his actions to "desire us to follow
him. This we did, and when we reached
the pasture we observed the mate of the
horse entangled in a bridge which had

of his companion's. danger, came up and
_rubbed his head against us, showing great
