COLLEGIATE EDUCATION FOR
WOMEN.

The Trustees of Cornell University,
New York, su institution intended to
offer the advantages Of the most elevated
system Of education to the class Of stu
dents which usually have the advantage
of resort to the high class establish
meuts, have been petitioned to extend
the advantages they control to women.
Students in colleges and universities
have been from time immemorial of the
male sex. Now it is requested that
young women may have a chance to
drink tat the fountain Of science"
1t is urged that women who are intended
to be teachers-and the applicability OF
the Cornell University to the instruc-
ton of teachers is conceded-ought to
have the right to attain the highest de-
gree of education, so that they shall be
better fitted to give accurate instruction
in whatever positions they may hold.
The memorialists say, very truly, that
the want Of accurate knowledge in
many teachers causes them to give
wrongful instruction, and when the pu-
pills are advanced, n great portion Of the
work of teachers Of the higher grades
is occupied by attempts 10 dissipate and
correct former errors. Hence, the as
signment of cultivated teachers to the
lower schools is n matter Of judicious
economy, saving time, preventing igno-
rance and elevating the standard OF ed
ucation generally. The normal schools
do something toward the training Of
accomplished teachers ; but the normal
schools have not the means Of instruc.
ton in the highest branches of education
and knowledge, such as are capable OF
being taught in the universities. But,
unless university education is accessi-
BILE to women, the female sex must still,
in matters Of instruction, be inferior to
the male sex. This is Il wrong which
the petitioners in this instance seek to
avoid. They make out q strong case,
and it really appears strange that, if
woman is fitted to be the companion and
friend to man, she is not entitled to
know as much as man.

REESE RIVER ITEMS.

From the Rcveille, September lith.l
QUEER CANINE TAsrE.-Hnbit and ne.
cessity may account for the most singu-
lar tastes in men. And perhaps in
beasts, also. On Saturday night we
witnessed an instance Of the degree in
which the normal taste Of the dog may
DO perverted. The animal was not FAM
ished nor at all in want Of food, bat was
as we'll fed and cared for ms any dog
could desire. Yet he ate with yes,
great slices of Limburg cheese, aud US
fast as be swallowed one piece be
vagged his tail briskly for more. II
was Just the cheese" for him, for his
eyes dilated and q stream Of saliva
flowed from his mouth Us he received
each morsel. 1t was no ordinary, mild
Limburg, but was old and soft, and
emitted nm odor that would have made
q wolf howl. After the dog had eaten
plentifully Of the marvellous compound,
we watched him with increasing inter-
est, in the certain expectation Of seeing
hin, seized in q fit and die q violent
death !; but we were n%stonished on Sec
ing him 20 under q table and sleep the
sound sleep Of a puppy. We have re-
solved to sift the pedigree of that dog.

q brace of hare. The game was young
and plump and as fat as rolls of butter.

is cooler the city might be supplied
with fresh fish daily. Reese River

fresh and cooked brown and crisp, is q

means.

AFTER rHE HONOR.

Now that the railroad across tue
Rocky Mountains is becominsa fixed fact
there are a number Of eager aspirants
TO the honor Of having been the first to
publicly urge the construction OF such a
road. Asa Whitney and DR.. Carver
have made such claims, the latter con-
tending that he advocated such q
work as early as ls47. Now another
person puts in a still earlier claim. L.
GAYLORD Clard, editor Of the old hn'eE-
erboeker magazine, writes to the New
York Tribune, that as far back as the
spring Of 1888 he wrote Of Pacific rail-
road thus glowingly in his magazine:
There will yet be built a railway
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Let
the prediction be marked, for the work
will be accomplished. The great com.
m~unication will be made with links Of
iron "long drawn OUT The treasures
of tho earth in that wide region are not
destined to be lost. The mountains OF
coal, the vast meadow seas, the fields
Of salt, tho mighty forests, with trees
200 feet high, the stores Of magnesla,
the crystallized lakes Of valuable salts,
these were not formed to be unemployed
and wasted. Tho. reader is now living
who will make q railroad trip across
this vast continent. The granite noun
tains will melt before tho hand OF en-
terprise valleys will be raised, and the
unweary 6resteed will spout his hot
white breath, where silence has reigned
since the morning hymn Of Young Crea.
ton was pealed over mountain, Hood
and field. The mammoth's bone and
the bison's horn, buried for centuries,
and long since turned to stone,
will be barred to the day by the
laborsrs upon the Atlantic and
Pacific Railroad. Rocks, which
stand now rs on the night when Nonh's
deluge first dried, will heave beneath
the action Of "~villainous s~altpetre (; !"
and where the prairie stretches away,
like the round ocean girdled with the
sky, with its wood fringed streams and
flower enameled turf, and its herds of
startled b~uffaloes, shall sweep the long
Kissing train of cars, crowded with pas
sengers for the Pacific sea-board. The
very realms of chaos and old Night will
DO invaded. While in place of the roar
of wild boasts, and the howl of wilder
Indians, will be heard the lowing Of
herds, and the bleating Of fiocks. The
pillow will cleave the sod Of many u rich
valley and fruitful hill, while from many
a dark bosom shall 60 up a pure prayer
to the Great Spirit,
WHOSE abode is In the heavens,
Whose wampum Of peace is the bow In the
sky"
Mr.. Clark, therefore, considers him
self Individually far ahead of Whitney
and Carver, and wants to know If any
person claims to have been inspired
with the glorious thought of n trans
continental railroad previous to that
time. Now here's q chance for glory It
anybody is ambitious, and has ground
on which to base his claim.

DRuoaED.-A suspicious looking in
dividual, late Monday night, scraped
acquaintance with a young man belong
ing to this city by inviting him to take
II drink, and the superstition is that he
administered a powerful drug to his
companion, for the poor fellow in a
short time thereafter was thrown into a
violent fit, which rendered him insensi-
BILE, for an hour or two, to all things
mundane. He has entirely recovered
from the effects of the dose. Robbery

this precious scoundrel. He was disap-
pointed, however, as the young fellow
had nothing Of any value about his

NoBLY SAID.-The editor Of the An-
burn Stars and Stripes utters the follow
ing words
1t has been truly said that "psacc

war;" One Of the greatest of these lie
forgiveness, and magnanimity toward q
fallen foe ; but to win this victory it is
not necessary to forget the ofense

Grafton. One of the speakers who nd
dressed the Auburn Democracy on o
recent occasion, said that Republican
orators had nothing to offer the people
in the present canvass but gaping
wounds, scenes of blood and carnage,
and all the horrors attendant upon the
late civil war, and be said such things
we're horrifying. VIZ will admit that
the heart grows sad thinking of the he
roes who went down to honored
graves in the war waged by the de-
mon Of human slavery, far from
home and friends, with no loving
hands to Irvine the laurel around
their honored brews, amid the tramp
ing of contending hosts, and the fear
ful rebel yell ringing in their cars. Yet
they died for country, and that the d.
vine right Of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness might be trans
mitted q priceless, heritage to future
generations. We would not, if it were
possible, forget the heroisms and sacri-
fees of those noble martyrs to the cause
of human freedom. Living, we checrcd
them on and following them with our
blessings; and the graves that hide
their earthly forms shall not obliterate
the memory Of their heroism, nor in
duce us to r%elinquish the cause which
they gave up their lives to perpetuate.
It is well to hold them up to the rising
generation as types Of the most exalted
patriotism.

COMPARE THE TWO.

Kentucky gave two-thirds OF her sons
to the rebel cause, and q Democratic

Vermont, fifty would cover the number.
In Kentucky o nan is hung If he de-
clares that treason should be punished.
In Vermont, free speech is tolerated on
any subject not filed with obscenity
or profanity, and eveu to suppress that
the greatest moderation is always
exercised. In Kentucky obscene ex-

couraged for proof Of which see the

lucky is q State full Of vice, and where
crime is seldom punished. Vermont
receives her full share Of emigrants
from foreign countries. Kentucky is
avoided almost altogether. Kentucky
had to DO closely watched and guarded
all through the rebellion. Vermont
ever stood ready to furnish for the pro-
lection Of the Government her full

NASHVILLE, September lG.-Governor
Brownlow has issued q proclamation
declaring the existence of armed
bands Of secret conspirators against the
State, who have been committing and
continue to commit outrages on defense
less and inofensive citizens. He recites
tue Act Of the Legislature giving him
the power to call out the militia, and
says "ln pursuance Of this Act, | call
upon the good, loyal and patriotic
people, white aud black, Of every
county in the State, to proceed without
delay to raise companies Of loyal, able
bodied men, and report the same to me

white or black, so organized, will he

pend entirely on the conduct of the
people themselves in the several coun.

he no occasion to call out the troops
but that the efforts of oil citizens to pre-.
serve the peace will succeed, and thus
ohviate the necessity Of this stern re-
sort. But if, unhappily, better

stored, and | nm compelled to put down

adds that he prefers these troops shall
be raised in Eas, Tennessee, and there
fore he does not limit the number Of
companies in any county In reference
10 the promise of the Federal troops to
keep the peace, he says: "Should tho
Department Commander be furnished

will cheerfully cooperate with him. In

CHAPTER II.

About an hour after this brief conversation be-
tween Annie and myself, and while we were al
sitting around the spacious fireplace, discussing
war topics, an old negro came into the room, and
taking large ire-brand from the hearth, departed
without uttering word.
"What is old Pompey after?" asked young
Matthews, addressing his father.
"He complained of our Confederate matches
and declared it impossible to ignite one of them
so I gave him permission to take a chunk from
our fire"
''But what does he want with fire at this time
of night?" asked young Matthews.
"Well, Charlie, said the old man, with sly
wink, which I did not fail to observe, ''our young
guests would find their bedroom rather chilly
without fire; 80 I ordered one to be made"
'Their bed-roomr' said Charlie, with an ex
