Ii Is now conceded that at least in
one department formerly exclusively oc-
cupied by men, women have been sue
cessful. In one building, at least in
every two or three square miles Of the
State, women rules supreme.
Experience has taught us that for our
common schools the gentler sex sup
plies the best teachers. 1t would be
difficult to find in all our State fossil
SO antiquated and parched that he
wt uld wish to exclude the school mis-
tress from her domain But, notwith-
standing the universal approval Of
school government by women during
school hours, our system of schools
presents the singular anomaly of rcfus-
ing her voice in school government
out Of school hours In other words, we
are wiling to entrust TO women the ex-
tremely arduous and delicate duties OF
the execution Of our will as regards
school government, but have feared to
trust her with the framing of any part
of the system, or with the selection of
the school officers. For this distinction
we feel perfectly safe in saying no sound
reason can be given. If woman is
competent to teach and goyc IN school
she is certainly capable Of assisting in
the selection of the teacher, and of de-
cIaring upon what particular system
the senool shall be governed
This proG osition is independent of
the general question of woman suffrage,
and has been elsewhere demonstrated
to be correct in practice. To be sure,
should the experiment be tried, its re-
suits might in some measure afford an
argument upon one side or the other of
the woman suffrage question, as indi.
eating what would be the conduct OF
women at the polls, the temper and in
telligcnce with which they woul ex-
press their opinions, and other facts OF
similar character. But this, so far as
il goes, is an argument in favor of the
experiment, TO all who really and hon
estly desire to be right upon the other
question. Still the two questions are
in a great measure distinct. 1t is con.
ceded by all tnat women are especially
fitted for the training Of children, that
they take a greater interest in educa-
tional matters than men, and there
seems 10 be no reason whatever, as we
said before, why they are not as capa-
bic as men. Of deciding what shall be
the policy pursued in relation to
schools. In fact, if either sex is to be
excluded from a voice in school mat
ters, il should be the male,
At the last session of the Legislature
bill proposing to confer upon women
the right Of suffrage in school district
meetings, lacked but a few votes to en-
able it to pass the House Of Represen'
tatives, and at the time we thought il
required no more than fair discussion
to secure its passage
There is now good opportunity tc
remedy the defect Of the last Legisla
4 ture, and we trust that such a measure
as we have suggested may be put upon
our statutes at an early day Should
such law prove injurious, the injury
can lie repaired IN year, or at tarthes'
lin two years, SO that no very bad re
suits can possibly follow

WoNDns on EASTER ISLAND. In the
middle Of the vast Pacific ocean, three
thousand miles distant from the near.
est continent, rises the mysterious Eas-
ter island, abounding with the remains
Of remote antiquity, which greatly in
terested aud perplexed party Of sa-
wants who recently visited them. The
island is about forty miles in cireum-
ference, barren, without trees, destitute
OF resources, inhabited by a few sayages
who lead the most miserable existence
imaginable But upon thlsnarrow stnp
of land, so barren and unproduetise,
the astonished eye Of the explorer be.
holds forest OF gigantic stone statues,
about the origin and meaning Of which
the race dwelling around them knows
absolutely nothing. The smallest Of
these statues measure twenty feet ~
highth, while many measure thirty feet,
and few attain the incredible dimen-
sions Of fifty feet Some repose upon
long platforms constructed upon the
cyclopean manner; the greater portion
OF them wear crowns about six feet IN
hight, formed Of volcanic tufa, which
have evidently been placed upon these
statues after their erection. The fore
heads of the statues are retreating and
the mouths prominent, which indica-
tions may probably reveal the race who
constructed them. As regards the
workmanship displayed upon them, it
is rude and clumsy, although not des-
titute OF character and expression. The
questions concerning them, presented
for solution are, what do they represent
whose handy-work are they? and how
came they tncre2 There are no metals
in Easter island, nor even sllex; only a
few hard pieces Of stone are found cap
able Of being fashioned into axes, with
which perhaps those mysterious statues
were hewn. The stone OF which they
are composed is found neither upon
the island nor any Of the surrounding
islands; their number; dimensions,
and character, forming strange con
trast to the narrowness and poverty OF
the place whereon the are constructed.
How could this barren island have
nourished race of men capable of rails
ing such monuments Where is this
race and what country do they still
inhabit In reply to these speculations
several scientific men Of great authori-
ty hazard the opinion that the island in
question is only one of the submits Of
the submerged continent waich geolog-
ical evidence proves at one time TO have
occupied the whole of that part OF the
Pacific which is now called Polynesia
Several also show grounds for believing
that tie statues in question present d
Mexican physiognomy, and may have
been the work OF the kindred races Of
that people. Several Of these monu
merits are now on their way TO the
British museum, where it is hoped adj
ditiona light will be thrown upon them.

owning judges, buying Justices, etc,

The ninth regiment costs him about
$50, 600 per annum, and the opera house
at the rate of abont 100000 His per-
sonal eXpences are estimated at some
$4,000 while 100000 more may be
safely set down for things that have no
name. This makes $850,000 year,
which is assuredly a very liberal expen-
diture, requiring the vast receipts OF a
great railway to render such prodigil-
ity possible.
