institutions in the West Mr.. Eliot then
referred to the personal testimony of
teachers, citing the matron of Oberlin.
who told him that she would allow no
girl IN whom she was interested to enter
the college. In the public school system
there Is no more safety for girls than for
boys. More than two:thirds of the bows
who enter Harvard College are educated
by tutors or at private schools. Wepdcll
Phillips followed in short address. He
maintained that the University was nuh.
lie institution and that girls who had the
proper.qualifcations had the right to en-.
ter it. If he had daughter whose health
and education were such as to warrant
her in entering Harvard he would carry
the case to the Supreme Court and de.
mand it as right. Mrs Howe made
lew caustie remarks, iudulging in some
severe personality toward Pres. Eliot,
which brought Prof. Agassiz to his feet
to defend that gentleman, the latter har-
ing lett the room during Mrs. IS re-
marks. Mrs. Livermore spoke of the abi-
lty OF woman to endure the intellectual
strain of a college course. She had tried
to enter Harvard at II and had felt the
disadvantage all her life of her inability
to do so. Colonel Higgnson closed the
debate. He thought that the remarks of
Pres. Eliot that 400 young women away
from home would be subject to greater
dangers morally than 400 young men un-
der similar circumstances, was particular
unfortunate, and he could not expect any
woman, solicitous for the character of her
sex, to hear such statement without in
diguation and that assertion concerning
the co education of the sexes being an ex.
pertinent was mistake.

year.
We must plant them both East and
west. The ease with which our Wes
tern soil can be cultivated, its freedom
from stumps and stones, and its cheap
ness, give every advantage to the Wes
tern planter. But it is said there are
beds ot coal at the East; so there are in
the West Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska
appear to be well stored with coal.
But too much reliance should not be
placed on coal 1t does not grow and
consequently it must ultimately become
exhausted. England supposed she had
supply for thousand years but last
summer coal panic so severely affected
the industries of that country that the
shock was felt almost all over the world
The only trouble with the fuel ques-
tion in Nebraska is for the next few years
We can raise wood in that time There
is grove of cottonwood in Seward coun
ty. which, when only four years old, show
ed trees four inches through and fifteen
feet high and if there had been ten acres
of it, it would, from that age, have yield
ed family perpetual supply. Cotton
wood from the seed often springs up in
corn fields, and grows as high as the corn,

the next five or ten years what will you
do 7" The herd law obviates the neces-
sity of fencing, yet the people are plant
ing fences, which cannot blow down aud
do not rot and, harsh as it may sound to
Eastern ears, corn makes au excellent
fuel. 1t is ascertained that pound of
corn is worth as much as a pound of
coal and there is generally such pie
thora of this commodity that it can be
had for fuel much cheaper than many an
Eastern household can be supplied with
coal. The question of pressed fuel, from
weeds and straw. is now being agitated

already used Seeding forest trees are

Wild Girl in Greene County, Pa.

We are indebted to John Messinoer
Esq, OF Nindridge, Greene County, Pa,
for the following account of young VIC
man, who for eighteen years has been
running wild in the woods in this neigh.
borhood We know Mr. Messenger to be
truthful and reliable man and every word
of his statement can be depended on. In
fact he so enters into particulars, and gives
names and dates, that it is impossible to
disbelieve his statement extraordinary as
it is. He writes:
a man living near Windridc, Greene
County, Pa, had borne to him five chill.
dren, four girls and one boy. His name
is Daniel Lewis. When quite young the
boy and second daughter, named Lucinda
Lewis, developed quite fondness for
hunting, and were out nearly all the time,
roaming the woods in search of game.
They seemed to delight in nothing so
much as the life of hunter, and would
be gone from home for weeks at time.
After some four or five years, the boy quit
it and entered on the more industrious
pursuits of life, but the girl continued In
the chase. Drawing herself more and
more from human intercourse and re-
straint, she has become wild woman,
fleeing from the approach of her kind
with the speed Of deer.
During the carly years of her solitary
life she used to approach her fathers
house and enticc the dogs to follow her,
learning ain. ost any breed Of dogs, to be-
come good hunters. In the hope of bring
ing her back to her home and to civilza-
ton, her brother followed her and shot
the dog she had taken away, using every
inducement to get her to 60 back with
him. But all in vain.
For eighteen years, since she was
twelve years of age, she has lived this wild
life; sleeping in the center of straw stacks
during the night and hiding in them dur
ing the summer the wild and cultivated
fruits she intends for her winter store of
provisions. She is now thirty years old,
aud is as wild as the most untamed deni-
zen Of the forest.
Mr.. Messenger says he at one time while
out hunting, met her in the woods. Her
long black hair, covering her face and
her eyes, was matted with burrs and
leaves, aud her black eyes made her
startling picture. She remained perfect
ly still until he got within twenty feet Of
her, when she turned and fed with a
swiftness no man could hope to rival.
\ few days since she was seen again
and then had in her hand three pheasants
and four rabbits, but although these en-
numbered her, she eludcd every attempt
to capture her She has been so long ia
the woods that she has become perfectly
wild. Her dress is made of the skins of
wild animals and a blanket that she has
taken somewhere during some of her
nocturnal predatory tours.
The case is a most extraordinary one.
That girl of twelve years old could thus
give up the endearments of home, the
pleasures of human intercourse and the
delights of civilized life, aud for eighteen
years live like wild animal as Lucinda
Lewis has done seems TO us something be-
yond possibility, and nothing but our
having the fullest confidence in our in
formant, would induce us to ask the pub
to believe such a thing possible Vheet-
ing Register.

Collegiate Education for Women.

At the Social Science Convention held
in Boston, on the 14th of May, President
Eliot, of Harvard President Raymond,
of Vassar Professor Agassiz, Colonel
Higginson, Wendell Phillips, Mrs. Liver
more, Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, Mrs. Chey.
ney, Mrs Dali, Miss Mitchell and other
distinguished men and women were pre-
sent, all anxious to hear or participate in
the discussion on the "Higher Education
for Women" Colonel Higginson was
the first speaker, and he opened with a
very fine and telling address, strongly ad-
vocating the opening Of our colleges and
universities to women. Prof. Agassiz
then took the floor and said that he held
1t to be an imperative necessity, in an en-
llghtened community. to grant to women
all the privileges, political and educa
tional, which man may claim. He did
not see any necessity for discrimination
between what shall be taught to woman
aud man-one sex being Intellectually no
more active than the other. When he
took his degree at Munich, in 1880, the
subject of his thesis was "Fcmjna hu-
mama superior mare" and in this he
had assigned the better part to women,
because they control the future destiny
Of nations by the education they initiate
At the time he was appointed professor
at Harvard he opened the museum and
his lecture room TO women. Now, among
the assistants in the museum, there arc
about an equal number of either sex, and
the hearers in the lecture room are also
| divided The same is the case in the
! Anderson School of Natural History. =
President Raymond held it to be an un-
settled question whether liberal educa-
tion is the same thing for woman as for
man. The intellectual pabulum for the
two might require some notifications
but he believed that sound philosophy
and the result of experience would war
rant the statements of Prof. Agassiz. Al
Vassar they had far outgrown the ques
ton whether girls can keep up with boys
They have gentlemen professors at Vas
sar, aud the question among them is how
to keep ahead of the girls. AS to the eff
feet upon the health be would challenge
the United States to turn out 400 young
women, between the ages of l6 aud u
who would compare with the Vassar Cot
lege girls. He knew of no healthier oc-
cupation than study correctly pursued =
Miss Mitchell corroborated the state
of President Raymond relative to the
health at Vassar Pres. Eliot next came
upon the platform and as the representa-
tive of Harvard University, was listened
to with attention He thought that the
co education Of the sexes was cOmpara-
lively new experiment in this country =
1t has been tried principally in the West,
but is now on the wane there, and seems
to be reviving in the Eastern and Middle
States. The experience of Oberlin Col
lege, which has been one of the most sue
cessful of these institutions and has the
services of the most devoted men and wo-
men, has been such that they have es'
tablished separate or ladies department
They still admit ladies TO the college
course, but their last catalogue shows l4U
students in the ladies' department and
in the college. This is the case IN many
