Is ANOTHER COLUMN we print statement
Of the condition Of political affairs In West
Virginia, written by gentleman who enjoys
tho confidence of the Administration, and
who Is thoroughly posted on the subject.
The muddle which has prevailed in the new
State is explained SO clearly and in such an
interesting manner as to add to the general
interest which the subject Itself CllcitB.

TIE UNUSUAL ENERGY Just now being dis
played by the Board of Health is due to the
effective manner in which the acting health
officer, DR.. Bliss, attends to his duties. He
Inds time, in addition TO that demanded by
his extensive private practice, TO supervise
the affairs Of the health Office in a manner
deserving the highest commendatlon. The
active interest awakened in the Legislature
regarding the work Of the board is also due
TO his efforts, conjoiutly with those Of Prof.
Laugstou. Our people may rest assured that
In such hands tho health Of the city cannot
suffer.

THE sPEALERsnIP or TIE SENT HOUSE..
The Buffalo Courier, which is not very good
authority upon Republican political movements,
attempts TO discuss the next speakershlp Of the
House Of Representatives. Tue chances now, II
thinks, arc between Blaine and Maynard. The
asperslons upon Mr.. Blaine, (which seem like TO
recoil on the Tennessee statesman" The an
nouncement OF Mr.. Blaines intentions as fol.
lows would seem TO lack foundation In fact:
al ia positiyeiy stated and believed that Blaine
Is pledged TO q course which will innict political
destruction upon all members who were impll-
Gated in the credit mobllier, or active ana LIN IN.
would exclude Garfield as chairman OF the AI-
preparation Committee, Dawes "a head OF the
Ways and Means, and sconeld as represetatlre
OF the Naval Committee. Kelley would meet
with no special marks Of respect At his hands,
The Richmond Whig says that every village in
the Union which can boast Of church, post
ofice, blacksmith shop, and one or two stores,
has the ambition TO expand into city, and the
residents will talk by the hour about the adyant-
ages pertaining TO their locality. Our cotempo-
rary does not seem TO know which u prefers, the
city or the village, although hopes TO see Rich
mond In q short time take high position In tie
latter class. II says: "For those who love tran
guilty, social freedom, safety, and cheap and
easy living, village life has many charms, but y
has several serious drawbacks. one IL the duh,
dead sameness that prevails; the other the i'm
possibility Of keeping private and domestic Af-
fairs from the knowledge Of curious nelghbors.
Everybody knows everybody else's Affairs. vii
ages are also liable at times TO be thrown into
dlsaRreeable excitements consequent upon the
falling out OF two three families, each OF which
mas its partlsans. Such q quarrel sometimes en-.
brolis the whole population. AZ such aStime Of
ferment nothing can be more unpleasant than
village llfe."
Here is the reverse Of the picture: "Take the
city OF New York for instance. II literally
sWarns with nurderers, thieves, burglars, pick
pockets and humans OF all descriptions. As
large as the police and detective force employed
Ia, II Is found altogether Inadequate, and the
New York Legislature, In compliance with q
strong popular demand, has recently passed
The depredations OF the large class OF profess
sioual thieves and other criminals who are con.
stantly prowIng about In order TO prey upon the
community"

The LABOR QUESTION Is being agltatei through
out the South, and Its novelty in that section de-
mands universal attention. In Raleigh, N. C.,
the lAbOrers Of every class, including mechanics,
have STRUCK" for ten hours as legitimate days
labor, and extra pay for work done after ten
hours. There are volumes Of argument to show
the progress Of labor reform In this assertion OF
power which has hitherto been dormant and no
doubt many huminltarians North will be aston
ished TO learn from this statement for the INST
time, that heretofore twelve hours have been
the customary days labor In the South. Bat,
what Is more significant and at the sans tim,
very natural, the sham Conservative or Demo-
cratic party Is opposed to the "strike." This Is
In keeping with the traditions Of the party which
has always opposed the elevation OF the labOring
classes, and now attempts to perpetuate the
ignorance entailed by slavery on the working
millions OF the South.

Commercial, which were written to him by the
late Chief Justice Chase during the reconstruc-
ton period Of 1903, In which the writer took
strong grounds against the election Of Seymour
and Blair. lie says: Judge Picrrepont has made
the true issue between Seymour and Blair and
Grant and Colfax. lie analyzes II well when he
SAYS that Il Is an issue between Blair aud Revc-
luton and Grant and Peace, leaving Seymour and

Sage College, or the female department Of Cor.
nell University, was laid. The object Of this
branch Of the university Is to furnish higher
educatorial course for women; In fact to give
them the same opportunities and advantages as
young men, What we desire 10 specially call
attention To In connection with the event Ia the
address Of Chancellor winchelL Of syracuse Unl-
yerslty. The higher education OF women, said
he, In substance, does not Imply that all women
ought to go 10 college; that college educated
women shall participate IN public life. 80 far as
we men arc concerned, the only question which
we have any right to ask lsr "Does she desire
higher education7" These propositions are so
plain and selt-eyident that It would seem to be
utterly unnecessary TO argue them. Chancellor
winchell goes still further. lie not only main
tains that II Is our duty to AFFORD women all the
educational facilities she wants, but that the
concession Of these privileges TO her will only
mature and strengthen those very qualities
which the opponents OF the movement believe
will injure and destroy them. First OF all, he
holds that advanced studies conserve the truly
feminine In woman" Horrible visions Of blue
stockings will rise up before the imagination.
The chancellor eudeayors to dispel them by as
suring US that nature, not culture, made them
masculine" Another proposition laid down by
Mr.. winchell Is that women succeed In scientific
studles," and fortines I, as follows;
''The best student In the Calculus which I ever
met with was Joung woman. The clearest and
most ready demonstrator OF geometrical propO-
sitions that ever saw was young lady. HIS
tory has recorded how Hypatia taught philosophy
IN the platonic school In Alexandria, and how,
IN the Middle Ages, the University Of Bologna
served itself with series Of illnstrious female
professors. laura Bassl was professor OF mathe-
matlcs and natural philosophy, and besides men,
had crowds OF learned women from France and
Germany TO attend upon her lectures. 50 great

Bring mournful minds and faded leaves,

Which thou hast craved so long.

Awake and dream no more
All silent now thy youthful lutte,
But witherd fewers, loved voices mute,

But death will come, or soon, or late,
Then brighter visions may await
Thy entrance, through tho darksome gate,
Beyond life's mortal shore.

Friends may deceive, and vows recall,
And youthful fancies vanish ali.

In certain street in the neighborhood of

which are the pest and scourge of society. l
allude to low gaming-house.

taer, emerged from a house in the Palace Road,
on the Surrey side of Westminster Bridge, and
needless of the pelting storm, against which
the umbrella she held in her hand offered but
a poor protection, sue pressed her baby to her
bosom to still its cries, and threaded the wet
muddy streets which, after she had passed over

Square
1t is easy to see that she has purpose in

the difficulty she incurs as she drags her feeble
limbs painfully EDWARDS, striving to keep az

Rough men speak harshly to her, nay, they
utter an imprecatiou as she pushes her way
fearing only one thing, and that is, losing sight
of the persen whom she follows.
At length the man stops for a moment at tn,
end of dark, narrow street, and taking hi
handkerchief from his pocket, he wipes ava.
the drops of perspiration which stand on hi
brow, even on that cold, bleak night. Th
woman pauses also, and leans against the wal
