There is, at last, a university in Great Britain where women may study medicine and take degrees entitling them to practice. The University of Edinburgh has the credit of taking the lead in the reform, and has made it , complete by authorising the establishment of separate classes for female medical students, an arrangement not found necessary either in France or America, but agreeable to British habits. This great concession is due, we believe, mainly to the energy and perseverance of Miss S. Jex Blake, who refused to bo driven out of Great Britain to pursue her studies, and after suffering defeat upon defeat at lastporsuaded the Senate of the Edinburgh University th,a,.t women, having bodies, ought to be permitted to know a little, about them, • and use that knowledge for the benefit of others. The Paris Figaro makes the rather startling announcement of a great scandal about to be brought to light, iv which a priest and a doctor are implicated. The only portion of the mystery as yet revealed is that a yost moHem examination, was commenced too soon, and that the victim cried out under the knife.
