WHY WoMEN ARE NOT MAuNANIMoUs.
What women in civilized countries most
ly want is magnanmity. Men of high
minds are constantly disappointed when
they find this lack of the magnanimous re.
vealing itself in the character Of some wo-
men who otherwise seem 80 admirable.
But men themselves have hitherto, in Eu-
rope especially, 50 shaped and limited the
moral training Of woman as to render
magnanimity virtue of almost impossi-
BILE attainment. The errors OF women are
in their degree almost always the common
errors Of seryitude. But there is some
thing more than that. The whole training
of womanhood is directed to the culture
merely of one virtue 1t is not indispens-
able or even necessary to a womans hon
or and repute that she should be truthful,
or generous, or benificent, or brave. She
has no need or inducement to cultivate the
magnaniinous qualities. Society only asks
her to be chaste. If you will cultivate but
one flower, you cannot have a parterre.
In days not far removed from our own,
man was only called on to be brave and
truthful-he might be as ferocious and vo-
luptuous as he chose therefore, his COM
mon vices We're ferocity and prohigacy.
Women are commonly trained even now to
believe that so long as they are 'virtuous,'
and magnanimous therefore, their com
mon deec Is are insincerity and meanness.
- From McCarthy's "Lady Judih.

CULTIVATION ny SrEAd.-One of the
most notable features of Horace Grceley's
visit to New Orleans was an excursion 10
the Magnolia Plantation, owned by Mr..
Effingham Lawrence, an enthusiast in ag-
riculture, to witness the practical use OF
the steam plow. The plantation Is 50 miles
below the city, ON the river, and hut hys
miles from the Gulf. rhither the party
was conveyed on a steam-tug. Mr.. Gree
ley was much impressed with the perform
ance of the steam machinery in the cuti-
vation of sugar, and especially astonished
at the ease, rapidity and thoroughness
with which it cultivated" between the
long rows of growing cane. The apparat-
us, which embraces the ordinary plow,
guided by wheels and elevated or depress-
ed by mechanical contriyance, is drawn
throu the ground by two portable en-
gines lone placed on each side of the field
with strong wire rope. The plowing was
to the depth of twenty-four inches, the fur
rows turned over being of immense size.
\ harrow fifteen feet in length by five in
width is drawn over the ground by the
same engines. In another portion of the
field a subsol plow for breaking up the
Jumps and ploughng between rows Of
cane was also in operation and worked by
steam. Though of course lighter instru-
ment, its execution seemed equally effect
i've. He closes a long letter on the subject
in these words of prophecy; "The day is
not remote wherein the 'harrens' of Long
Island and New Jersey, the rich intervales
of the Connecticut and Susquehanna, will
be protitably plowed and titled 10 depth
of twenty y-four to thirty inches by steam
power and far larger and surer crops than
those of the past will therefrom he real

THE COLUMN VENDoME.-Jfhis grand
pile, erected to commemorate the family
of Bonaparte and the cause of French I'M
perialism, has at length fallen before the
insane fury of the Paris mob. Construct
ed by imperialists, it was supposed to rep
resent principles dstasteful to the msniacs
whom the sway of the mob has placed in
temporary power, and so its destruction
was decreed. The column which now lies
in three pieces upon the ground near its
former base, was erected by Napoleon L.,
modelled from that OF Traian at Rome, and
covered with bas-reliefs east from 1900
pieces of cannon taken in war, represent
ing the victories of the French in the cam
paign of 1905. 1t was begun in 1906 and
completed in lsl0. The material of the
shaft was Of stone. cased with bronze. The
figures were eight feet high, and the length
of the spiral 500 feet. Rising to an eleva-
ton of lj3 feet, and surmounted by an I'm
pcrial figure. the column was for sixty
years prominent object in Paris, and its
artistic beauties were the subject of gener-
al admiration.

May in the mountains of East Tennessee! !!
remember how the blue mist Rugged the
rocky peaks, while down the broken, jag
ged slopes, among the clinging pines and
cedars, long trails of gray fog waved slowly
to and fro. The cool air that hustled in
through the open windows of the cars as
they whirled along that serpentine way of
iron that leads from Knoxville east, had a
pleasant fragrance just braced little with
a touch of mountain frost.
My destination, so far as the cars could
take me, was little station village, whence
/ would go in carriage to the home of
Hon. Horace Naylor, some ten miles up the
valley of pretty little stream. The follow
ing letter from my honorable friend will
serve to explain further;
"DEAR Toni will have a carriage in
waiting for you at --- on the l4th. DO not
fail to come. My niece, of whom | have so

you will go dead about her. Come on

least. Very truly, HORACE NAyLoR.

The Omaha Herald publishes the following commem
orAtivo "lines" which written in oil seriousness
the death Of child OF Mr.. Tomkins, fatally burnc
IN that place recently
Come all my friends both old and young,
oh, harkl and you shall hear
How death did quickly snatch the child
The parents loved most dear.
Upon one sunny Sabbath day
The least one Of their hock,
While parents dear were not away,
Caught on the stove It's frock.
The parents saw their child in flames:
They saw, but could not save
This little boy-their second burned
From out his early grave.
1t minded them Of one they lost
In other days Of yore,
who died Of scalding just the same
While creeping on the floor.
Strange both should die on Sabbath day
The FOLKS in the next room,
Al hastened forward full Of grief
TO TINT depot Of gloom.
Months eighteen Lucius spent with them,
And cheered them with his smile,
But soon they mourned in weeds Of woe
That death did him beguile.
And now the little boy has gone
To Tint bright world above
The other four please come this way
And sing redeeming love.
Then, Tomkns, now a warning take,
Prepare to meet your God,
That you may join your happy hoch
In yonder blest abode.

INFIRMARY BARN BURNT.-On Mon
day night. about u o'clock, Doctor Car
others, Superintendent of the County
Infrmary, was awakened and informed
that the Infrmary barn was on fire. On
investigation it was discovered that an
insane man named Vergon, one of the
inmates, had escaped, and his tracks
in the snow leading to the barn, left no
doubt but that he set it on fire. Vergon
then went to his brothers, Mr.. F. P.
Vergon's. where, during the same even
ing. he was seen to provide himself with
matches and combustibles. Mrs. v.
Immediately rang an alarm and the in
sane man fed, pursued soon afterwards
by his brother, who soon found it inn
possible to capture him during the night.
Next morning. however. Mr.. Vergon re-
newed the pursuit and finally captured
the insane man at Mr.. Burlett's, on the
Scioto river.
The losses at the Infrmary. as given to
us by DR.. Carothers, are as follows:
Four horses, two COWS, two hogs, 2oo
bushels of oats, 10 tons of hay, one new
buggy. several sets of harness, &c. The
buggy and two fine horses were ihe
Doctors personal property the horses
were valued at $500. The total loss is
upward of $4,000, and was insured fol

with Germany are intimate and cor
dial. The commercial intercourse be-
tween the two countries Is extensive,
and is increasing from year to year,
and the large number of citizens and
residents in the United States of Ger
man extraction, and the continued
flow of emigration thence to this eouu-
try, have produced an intimacy of per
sonal and political intercourse ap
preaching if not equal to that with the
country from which the founders Of
our Government derived their origin
The extent of these interests and
( the greatness Of the German union
seem to require that IN the classifca-
| ton of this Government for foreign
/ Powers there should no longer be an
apparent un1ervaluatiOn of the i'm
portance of the German mission, such
as is made In the difference between
/ the compensation allowed by Law to
! the Minister to Germany and those to
/ Great Britain and France. There
would seem to be a great propriety IN
placing the representative of this Gov
ernment at Berlin on the same footing
I with that OF its representatives at Lon
I don and Paris. The union of the
several States Of Germany under one
Government, aud the increasing con-
mercial and personal intercourse be
tween the two countries, will also add
to the labors and responsibilities of
the Legation.
I, therefore. recommend that the
salaries of the Minister and the Secre-
taFy Of Legation at Berlin he respee
lively increased to the same amounts
IS are allowed to those at London and

ner prescribed by the Constitution,
If this were a bill for the repeal of the
test oath required of persons elected
or appointed to offices Of honor or trust,
it would meet my approval. The ef-
feet of the law, however, is to relieve
from taking the prescribed oath only
those persons whom 1t was intended
to exclude from such offices and to re-
quire it from all others. By this law
