cn.nPERATTYE HOMES.

We nerceive that several companies have
been started for the purpose OF buying lots OF
land within a short distance OF the city, ana
building houses on them They use the term
Cooperative" in their title, but the plans
proposed do not seem to carry out any leadlng
idea of that system. For instance large
number of lots, already laid out are sofa 10
company for q given sum, and these are sou
TO persons wishing to build at prices SUFFICIENT
TO cover the original cost. This is no CO.
operation at all, but speculation lhat 'Ie
lots are sold for what they cost is well enough;
but suppose they cost more than they were

cered, they will become pOpul2 ana VIII 90
immense good but it will be well to guard
against the schemes of real estate agents ana
land specuators who arc on the watch 1or every
turn by which they can take an advantage
The proper aud only just way to purchase
building lots Is to buy the land by the acre. ana
in as large body as the funds will justify
from twenty to fifty acres-and dlVlue II ln'o
lots. No lot should should be less than nlty Dy
two hundred feet, which will give good-szed
garden, and also space for the planting OF
small fruits and some orchard trees Land
can be had on some lines of road, and within
forty minutes ride of the city, for SoOO
or $1,000 IN acre. But if taken at some
point where there is no station, prices Will be
much lower, and arrangements can be made
with the railroad, on the condition OF making
certain improvements, for the establishment Oh
a station.
In this way homes may be obtained for com
paratively small sums, and the advantage
derived from the enterprise will belong TO
the Association. In the organization and de-
tails of management, by which payments are to
be made money advanced, and profits distrib-
uted, many things are to be considered, and
wise and just men will be required to lead the
way; but these at present we o'not propose to
consider. We take the occasion now to protest
against any scheme which uses cooperation for
the private aims of individual speculator

In very remarkable magazine article, the
essential parts of which we print on the second
page of this paper Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
tells anew the story of Lord Byron's separation
from his wife, one of the saddest scandals of
our modern literature, in the light Of a con-
versation had with Lady Byron four years be-
fore her death, but at a time when she sup
pOsedherself to bedyiDg. Interesting and graphic
as is the recital the new facts positively estab-
lished are not so many as might have been
expected That Lord Byron was libertne all
the world knows. That the worst any one could
say of Lady Byron was that she was faulty
faultless her husband was the first to admit.
The present story cannot therefore, add any
thing to the general appreciation of Lady By
rOn's character, nor can it do more than add
one, albeit the fOulest shade of darkness 10 q
character which the world has already accepted
as very black.
Mrs. Stowe now sets forth that the separation
between the poet and his wife was not due to
his brutal treatment, beginning as she herself
tells us, at the very church doors, when he
exclaimed, Madam, you will find you have
married devil,p and continuing all the years
of their welded life, but to Lady ByrOn's dis
cOvery of an incestuous intrigue between her
husband and his own sister, which began before
their marriage, and continued under her roof.
This horrible statement rests simply on Lady
Byron's assertion that she had discovered evil
dence of it,, although Mrs. Stowe adds that it
is now, we'll known in England, and leaves it
to be inferred that the guilty sister had her
self made confessions to the aggrieved wife.
1t remains to say that Lady Byron's reason
for making so frfghtful a revelation against
her dead husband was belief, urged by
her friends, that it was necessary to
exhibit his true character, to check the popu-
lar and pernicious influence of his writings;
and that Mrs. Stoves reason for now bringing
the whole matter before the world is q desire,
since the publication Of the Countess Guicci-
oils Memoirs, to vindicate the memory of the
Wife against the ISLANDERS of tho Mis-

The University of California, which Is just
organized upon popular basis. at Oakland,
opposite San Francisco, has wisely discarded
the system of dormitories and commons, thus
avoiding the great evil of the old college plan,
which brought hundreds of young men ripe
for mischief and predisposed to idleness under
two or three roofs 1t is easy to comprehend,
while the gregarious method promoted and
even suggested characterization, that students
leading quiet and comparatively isolated life
will be in the best possible position for dill
gence, and in measure guarded from the
evils of social dissipation. We expect to see
the time when in all our colleges the barrack
system will be abandoned.

The first examinations of women under the
new regulation admitting them to Cambridge
University have resulted in triumph for the
sex which we record with unfeigned delight
Thirty-six candidates presented themselves and
twenty-five were accepted, and several of these
received special marks of distinction in vaii-
GUS branches, such as arithmetic, religious
knowledge, and languages. The Cambridge
where this happened was the one in England
not, we are sorry to say, the Cambridge in
Massachusetts,, where nevertheless we warrant
more than twenty-five girls out of thrty-six
would be found qualified for admission.

Bishop Rudigier of Linz is to be made
Cardinal. which is, perhaps, the boldest sign
we have had of the Gcumenical drift of things
at Rome. The honest Bishop was imprisoned
for seditiously preaching against the Austrian
laws respecting schools and civil marriage
which last he described as cOncubinage. His
acceptance of the EmperOr's grace has not
changed his mind and he will receive his new
hat probably for two reasons-frst, for being
a martyr; second, for being a rebel, in what
the ultramontanists consider a good cause.
The Pope is well pleased to reward his faith
full servant but his favor is no certain pledge
that he will attempt to do battle with ma
jority of Europe We hear that deep disquiet
is caused in Germany by the anger of the
Roman press against the liberal party in the
Church, which party is supposed to form the
majority in Germany, Hungary, the SlavOnic
countries, England, and America, but the
minority in France and Italy.

Sometimes a single word expresses the whole
matter. At the Kentucky School-Teachers
Convention last week, Mrs. Roberts, of the
Normal School, said that in her establishment
:" the finest scholarship was not regarded as so
"important a qualification of the teachers as
"tact and energy" We say nothing OF the
" energy" except that, as matter OF course,
weak, indolent dawdling creature will be good
for nothing as teacher. But the fine, natural
ability for teaching, which seems to us dis
tinct and not over common intellectual gift, has
heretofore been almost entirely dsregarded in
the selection of teachers. Not being much val
ued by committee men, instructors who in
rare degree have tact" for teaching have re-
sorted to private establishments, leaving the
public schools, in too many instances, to the
mercy of those who clumsily govern by the
coercion of corporal punishment

An English paper reports the invention OF a
surgical Injury beside which ether Is a
mere bagatelle. This is knife which cuts SO
rapidly that the patient has not time TO leei
if. The idea was undoubtedly borrowed from
the celebrated story of the man who had ms
head cut off with such neatness and dlspatch
that he did not know it until he sneezeo' u
was reported that the new instrument was
tried upon a rabbit, which went on calmly
eating its dinner in front, while IL was oeins
cut into ribbons in the rear. The inventor
DR.. Richardson, explains. however, that TINS
was not exactly the case. lie intended to try
the experiment, not upon rabbit, but upon
his own person, when, unfortunately the knife

tleman will be able to eat his dinner ID iront
and be cut to ribbons in the rear with all
imaginable relish and satisfaction

The affidavit of the Hon. Russell Sage, here
with printed, is very satisfactory to his many
friends, as proving him no party to the nefari-
| Gus conspiracies to lock up money and thus COM
pei the needy to pay exOrbitant interest, whereby
! the business of our City has been so seriously
! deranged and distracted Having known Mr..
Sage for many years, and having ever found
him acting the part Of good citizen, we were
panied at finding him in such company, and
heartily rejoice to find that he does not prop
erly belong there.
But we must inform Mr.. J. NJ. Scribner who
appeared yesterday as counsel for Mr.. George
p. Watts, that his remarks were a grave ag-
gravation of his clients Offense. Our Usury laws
are an important portion of our civil and Grim
inal code. They conflict with powerful inter-
ests upheld by shrewd and able men ; they
have been often and bitterly assaied, and are
not repealed simply because a great majority
of our people have determined that they shall
stand. When, therefore, lawyer declares
those laws $50 obsolete that nearly
"all business men have forgotten their
existence lie states what is grossly I'M
true, and what should have been promptly
reprOved from the bench Judge Cardozo was
elected and is paid to uphold and enforce the
laws, not to cOnnive at their disparagement
and overthrow. If lawyers stand up before
him to fout the laws of the land they should.
be told that they have brought their wares to
the wrong shop, and should take them away
directly.

What else is to be read respecting the match
will be found in the well-informed and candid
letter of our London correspondent. We think
all readers will acquit him of the slightest
charge of prejudice, respecting the match or
its adyisabillty. The points of his letter are
that the Harvards have faults which they must
unlearn, and disadvantages which they have
practically confessed, and that to pring 'nem-
selves to the mark. on the day OF the race
they must submit to native English coachihg
without murmur. There is reason IN this-
reason, too, to take hope that our representa-
tiyes at the oars will avail themselves OF every

tress. Resting. as the revelation does on tne
statement of Lady Byron to Mrs. Stowe with
out any mention of particulars, or production Oh
corroboratory proof, it is quite possible tna'
the world may be disposed as readily TO oelieVe

that her depraved and licentious husband was
a monster. Both on this point and on tne
propriety of the publication in any event. we
are likely to have an abundance of discussion
in literary circles.
