Madame Francois*, the midwife ol Catherine de Medici, lectured ably to students of both sexes. James Guillemeau was a French surgeon ot eminence, who died in 1U13 but the obstetrical observations which gave value to Ins books were contributed by Madame Verronne.

Madame Breton patented a system of artificial nourishment for infants,in use in France as late as 18:30. iVt ^h e age of twenty four, and in the year 1730, Elisabeth Blackwell, of London, published a work on medical botany. It was in three volumes folio, will illustrated, and was the first of its kind in any coun try.

We iney n by this, of course that la bor should be iu harmony with cap ital, and that both should work to gether for the common good. To this cue! tberc must be protection af forded to the American laborer, against the utilair competition oi lor eign labor. In saying this, ve do not imply that American labor can not successfully compete with any other iabur, in an open field and fait* play. Oil- the contrary, we are firm ly convinced that American laborers of every grade are fully comptent to coutend in the labor market ol the world with any just and equal ^com petitors. What American labor wants is protection against ihe cheap, impoverished, ignorant labor ot the oilier three-quarters ot the earth, con trolled by abundant capital and direc ted by akilietl handh. This foreign cr.pital can buy up the labor of tiie O'.d World at.star vaiiun rates. It i an compel the for eign laborer to ^jrt w up it:, ignorance, to subsist on a mere pittance, to ab negate I.is political power, and, there lore, to produce ore, uta less price, than anv other o^a ot laborers.

Just htrc is the «famg*r against which the honest lud.nstry of Ameri ca should be forever on us guarJ.
