Discussion still continues upon the
co-education of the sexes, and is likely
to be kept up until the experiment has
been tried ON large scale. The officers
of the University of Michigan and of
Cornell and Oberlin universities regard
the system as success. President
Eliot, of Harvard College, on the other
hand, contends that it is growing un-
popular, and that it Is best that each
sex should have colleges of its own.
The right way to settle the question is
to try it on scale not heretofore
deemed practicable, and for q number
Of years, sufficiently to test the expert
ment thoroughly. This will be done,
no doubt, before long, and will be the
only method OF solving problem
that theorists have already discussed
sufficiently.

NEW WAY OF ORA WING TIE BAB1

NEW WAY OF ORA WING TIE BABY.
A lsbor-saving young genius in Evans
ton, ILL.,, recently saddied the duty of
drawing the baby out for an airing upon
noble mastiff. He made nice harness
out of the clothes-ine and had just got
it nicely adjusted, to the evident delight
of the cooling occupant Of the carriage.
when the noble mastiff's favorite play
mate of the other. sex frolicked past.
Utterly oblivious Of the new duty en-
joined upon him, the dog sprang after
his companion, and the two started for a
run at a reckless pace. A howl from
the startled hopeful brought both parents
to the scene, and then ensued chase
for dogs and baby which beggars de-
scription. Up one street, down an
other, through blind alleys, across
crowded streets, and all that time that
baby gathered lungs as the crowd in
pursuit gathered members. At length
a friendly stump precipitated the pre-
cious infant, all in its lovely white en-
broidered clothes, plump into choice
mud-puddle, from which he was fished,
dirty, but unhurt. But the boy geniusl
Well, he stands around or leans ON

HEWsPAPER GRUMBLERs.


Grumbling about newspapers, says
the Boston Traveller, is as ancient as
newspapers themselves. And notwith-
standing the multiplications of these
modern conveniences, and the sleepless
efforts of publishers to adapt their pa
pers to every variety Of taste and every
grade of sentiment, affording, one
might think, ample opportunity to
readers to suit themselves perfectly
yet there is still, perhaps, as much
grumbling about newspapers as there
ever was.
We suppose it does not often occur to
the grumblers that possibly they them
selves may be at fault, may be unreason-
able, may expect impossibilities, may be
out of humor, may have fit of indigna-
ton or spleen, or may be stupid or unap-
preciative. It may never occur to them
that the men who toll night and day to
furnish them with the latest news, and
the greatest variety of information and
entertainment, are mortal, and some
times tire themselves, and get sleepy
and cross and stupid and forgetful and
careless, and need, and deserve, too,
some consideration and even sympathy
from those for whom they increasingly
work.

that everything that is made by human
hands and brains must of necessity be
imperfect, however strong the desire
and earnest the effort may be to have it
faultless. And above all, they forget
that newspaper cannot be made for
general circulation, and yet in every
thing exactly suit any one person. A
thoroughly good, enterprising newspa-
per is really like a well spread dinner
table; it contains variety as well as
quality-somcthing for every taste, and
enough of each kind to satisfy any
reasonable appetite.
1t is not expected that any guest of a
table should eat Of every dish provided.
1t is not supposed for a moment that
every dish will be palatable to every
guest, or agree with every ones diges-
ton but it is thought, and reasonably,
too, that from the abundant bill of
fare every guest can select enough
that will be digestible and agreeable
to make a substantial and satisfactory
meal.
just SO it is with every well edited
paper. No man is expected to read
everything in the paper, or to like
everything if he reads it; but every man
is expected to find enough that is good
and useful and acceptable and agreeable
in the ample columns spread out before
him to be a full equivalent for what the
paper cost him, and if he happens to
find on the carte an article which Of
fends his taste, or is in opposition to his
views, he has just to let that alone and
leave it for another, whom it will Just
suit, and for whose taste it was gotten
up. In choosing his restaurant, he
should select one whose general style
suits him, and when his taste changes,
or the character of the paper deterior-
ates, he should change and try another;
but never fret himself or vex his neigh
bors by grumbing and scolding about
his newspaper, which, after all, is about
as necessary to his comfort as his din
nor

THE YEARS TwEL pElCHILDREN.

THE 1E1RS TWELVE CHILDREN.
January, fat and rosy, strides, st
His old heart warm, well clothed his sides
with kindly love for young and old.
The cheerier for the bracing cold,
Laughing welcome, open filings
Hisdcors, and as be does, he sings.
February, bluff and cold,
Der burrows striding, scorns the cold,
And with his horses, Two abreast,
Makes the keen pIow do his behest.
Rough March comes clustering down the road.
In his wrathy hand the oxen goad,
Or, with rough and angry haste,
Scatters the seed DER the dark waste.
April, child, half tears, half smiles,
Trips, full Of little playful wiles;
And laughing, meath her rainbow hood,
Seeks the wild violet in the wood
May, the bright maiden, singing goes
To where the sunny hawthorn blows,
Watching the lambs leap in the dells,
List'ning 20 the simple village bells.
June, with the mowers scarlet face,
Moves DER the cloyerfield space;
And fast his crescent scythe sweeps down
Ger spots from whence the lark has flown.
July, the farmer, happy fellow,
Laughs 10 see the corn grow yellow;
The heavy grain he tosscs mp
From his right hand, rs from cup.
August, the reaper, cleaves his way
Through golden waves to break of day:

THERE is now on foot the gigantic
project of tunncling the Rocky Noun
tains. The investigation has been
thorough, and the conclusion is that the
project is feasible in every particular.
The idea is to tunnel the mountains
from a boint abe mt one mile below
Black Hawk to the Middle Park, ruiz
ming in northwesterly direction. The
tunnel to be run will, it is presumed,
cut many rich veins of gold and silver,
and thus great mining interest he de-
veloped. Some idea of the magnitude
of the task may be gathered from the
fact that the tunnel, if completed, will
be twelve miles in length. 1t is in
tended to make it large enough to be
used for railway purposes, and SO, if a
road is ever to be constructed to
the Middle Park, it will find its most
convenient route through this tunnel.
The company will be called the Sierra
Madre Tunnel Company, and the incor-
por,.tion papers for its organization have
already been filed.

IT seems that the practice of duefling
is not to go unrebuked in Georgia. The
Grand Jury of Fulton county, in that
State, have found true bills against the
principals and seconds in an affair of
honor which came off few days ago.
It is evident that duelling is getting to
be looked upon even in the South in its
proper light-as a crime.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ENGLISH women.

CBARAcTERIsTICs OF ENGLISH WOMEN.
English women are very thorough and
practical domestic managers. They
surpass our women in this respect.
They are more ready, regular, and sys-
matte. This is due partly TO the social
conditions. They are less variable in
energy and feeling, and the fixed cir
cumstances of their life give them fixed
habits. They so on with the work and
in the surroundings to which they were
born. They do what they have always
seen done, and in the way they have
always seen it done. AS there are no
experiments to be made, there are few
chances for mistakes.

POLICE PARADE IN BROOKLYN.

Yesterday afternoon the "or platoOns'' OF the
Brooklyn police force paraded in all the pomp and
pride OF blue cloth and brass buttons, armed with

Of stone, OF full ten tons weight. This was with
difncuty removed and the body taken out, terribly
crushed and mangled. The face and upper part OF
the head were mashed TO jelly, the upper part OF
the body was horribly burned, the boots torn from
the feet and not "a sign or them can be traced,
showing the fearful power and effect OF the ex-
plosion.
The CorOner's jury convened this morning and,
after iul hearing OF the witnesses to the dread

his own life and caused that al the nine others;
that the nine Others met their death by the after
