Education of Women.

When Sydney Smith was asked his
opinion of the proposition to give wo-
men as thorough an intellectual train
ing as men received, he replied "I
could never discover any such mental
disparity between the sexes rs to JUS
tify the keeping of women in state of
domestic noodledom." The New York
Times, speaking of the " Higher Edu-
cation of Women" says "The time
is gone by when an English wit could
say, in reference to women lecturing,
1T is like dogs walking on their hind
legs they cannot do it well, but you
are astonished to see them do it at all
The claims of women to the best kind
of education can no longer be dismissed
with smile or a joke. Though these
claims may sometimes be mixed up with
strange fancies and false pretensiOns,
they are always entitled to serious con-
sideration. If what women claim Is
Just, however novel, their demands
ought to be granted. Prejudice should
not obstruct the way to justice. The
so-called women's rights have been set
forth with no small amount of wild talk
and pretensions. But thinking men,
men of fair and liberal minds, are not
much affected by that circumstance.
They are not slaves to the power of Gus
tom and routine. When reform or i'm
provement is called for, even amid con-
fusion and disturbance, they look for
what there may be good and practical in
it. Those who have done so in the case
of women's rights, who have given their
advocates an impartial hearing, have
not all been converted or convinced /;
but none of them questions at the pres
ent moment the right of women to en-
10Y whatever advantages Of education
the state or society may offer its men,
/ bers.

me "Gem Of the sea. !"

As seen by the tourist, Ireland is q
most beautiful country, possessing eve
~ variety of surface and soil, from rug
ged mountains to lovely valleys and ex-
pansive plains. The streams are every
where bright and clear, and generally
swift running. For so small a territory
there are remarkably large rivers and
lakes. With the exception of one or
two in Switzerland, there are larger
lakes in Ireland than can be found else
where in Europe. The Shannon is q
larger rlver than any in Great Britain,
and navigable for long distance. The
harbors are among the finest in the
world The climate is remarkably
temperate and equable. Many plants
which can only flourish ia lighthouses
in England, flourish IN open air in Ire
land, while the great moisture which
prevails is SO favorable TO vegetation
that the country is carpeted in almost
perpetual green. This verdure extends
to the mountain tops where there ia a
particle of earth, and on the sea shores
right down TO where the ocean-breakers
dash upon the rocks. From what I had
heard before visiting Ireland sup
posed it was nearly a treeless country.
But such is not the case. Every rod
square almost, which is unit for Guilt
walton, is covered with trees. Trees
abound on the mountains, and on the
steep hill-sides, and along many of the
roads and lanes and they may be seen
everywhere standing singly or in
elumps. Where one tree is seen in Ilii-
nois. from the windows of the train,
fifty may be seen in Ireland. The
hedge-rows add greatly to the beauty OF
the landscape. The foliage of the thorn
is q very dark green, and those live
fences can be distinguished for long
distances, subdividing the whole face OF
the country into squares like those on a
chess board.

W. T. SHERMAN, Gen.
Bazaine Sentenced to Degradation
and Death,

NJ. Tachard, counsel for Marshal Ba-
zine, in his peroration, said : "I deep
Iy sympathize with the valiant soldier,
overwhelmed by the terrible accusation.
I fear not death for him. He is brave
and fears nothing but the loss of his
homer, but for the sake Of his wife and
children. I feel most for France, which
will deplore the loss of the valiant SOL
dier. Your honor and patriotism for
bids that you condemn him. Vow know
what political trials on his spot.are, on
which posterity has raised a statue to
those executed after such trials" NJ.
Pourcet replied, demanding that ter
rible example be made as lesson to
the rising generation.
Before the judges withdrew Bazaine
said 4: "I have two words in my breast,
honor and country have never been
wanting to this proud MOTTO during for
ty-two years of service. I swear before
Christ that I have never betrayed
France"
After long deliberltion the judges
declared Bazaine guilty of the charges
of the capitulation of Metz and the ar
my on the open field, without doing all
that was prescribed by honor and duty
to avoid surrender, and unanimously
condemned him to death and to be de-
graded from his rank previous to his
execution.
After judgment had been rendered,
all the members of the court signed an
appeal for mercy, which Duke D'Au-
male Immediately conveyed in person
to President McAIahon. Bazaine was
greatly agitated when he heard the de-
cision of the court.

The Wheat Prospect.

All statistical information on the sub
iect of the wheat prospect of the world
point to the important fact that the
United States is the only country able
to supply the unprecedented demand
for wheat this year in nearly ali Euro
pean countries. The returns of the I'M
ports OF Great Britain to September
Both show that the gross value OF the
imports Of wheat for nine months is
about s99, coo, coo. Of which the United
States supplied s42, 900, 900 worth. The
proportion of wheat from Russis has
fallen from 13,000,000 TO 1000, 600
hundred weights, as compared With that
of 1872, while that received from the
United States has increased from 3, ,OO0,-
600 to 13, 600, 900 hundred weights.
Wheat Is usually exported fIOm the
north of France, but this year IL VIII
have 10 be imported, and the importa-
tions of the south OF France viii be
largely increased. Germany, Hungary
and Southern Russia are also deficient
ia their crops, and that European deal
era have accepted the returns as thor
oughly reliable, may be judged from
the fact that their exports from New
York alone, during the fourteen days
ending October 9th, were 3,5eo, Bog
bushels, en amount unparalleled in the
history Of that port. On the other
hand, the receipts Of wheat at MiiSau-
kee and Chicago have been largely IN
creased. the receipts at the former
place Of the present crop being 8, $50,
770 bushels, against 5,044 sos bushels
for the same period In 1872.

Our Tobacco Crop.

The great mass of the tobacco crop
of the United States is raised chiefly in
Virginia and Kentucky, although large
quantities are grown in Maryland, Penn
sylvania, Connecticut, and other states.
The crop this year in Virginia, it is said,
viii be large, and, though damaged by
drought and other causes, viii be an av-
erage one, with much fine tobacco. In
Kentucky, with the exception of the
Green river district, the crop VIII be
very good, and in some places larger
and better than last year. In Indiana,
the yield falls off about one-fourth, and
is not so good as last seasons. A sim
liar report of short crop and poor
quality comes from Illinois. Tennes-
see will give an average yield of fair
quality. Missouri VIII have an aver
age yield, bat the crop viii be mateii-
ally damaged in some localities. In
North Carolina the crop is large, but
damaged, though the yield viii be an
average one.

Marshal Razaine,s Career.

Francis Achilles Bazaine was born in
1911. He received his education at the
Polytechnic school of Paris, and entered
the army in 1881. Next year he served
in Algeria, and in 1886 was promoted to
a ieutenancy, receiving the cross of the
legion of honor on the field of battle.
During the two yeals following he
fought against the Cmlists in Spain,
and having been raised to the rank of
captain, return, to Africa in 1889,
where he saw lorg and active service.
In 1853 he had become brigadier-gen-
eral, and distinguished himself at the
siege of Sebastopol. He was again pro
NOTED to be a general of division, and
in 1856 was appointed inspector of sew
eral divisions of infantry. He accom-
panied the expedition to Mexico In
1862. and in 1868 succeeded Marshal
Forey as its commander. He received
in succession the commandership and a
grand cross In the legion of honor, and
in 1864 was created marshal of France.
His career was one of distinguished,
though slowly Won success, until the
reverses at Metz, in the French-German
war, which have proved his ruin.

MEMPHIS, Nov. d. 1873


MEMPHIS, Nov. d, 1873.
To Gen. W. t. Sherman, Csmmander-in Chief
Z. S. A, Washington, D. c..
DEAR GENERAL-By kilograms from
Washington and other sources, it ap-
pears we are likely to become involved
In war with Spain. If so, I presume
the seat of war viii be in Cuba. In case
we should become involved, and the
government should require assistance, I
hereby tender you my services as vol
unteer. I think could enlist from
1000 to 5000 men who served in the
southern army during the late war, at
short notice, and who could rendezvous
at New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola and
Key West, either as cavalry or infantry.
Yours, very respectfully,

ment with this Endorsement, :" Respect
fully referred to the secretary of war
for file." Among the hundreds of offers
that come to me, deem this worthy a
place among the archives, to await COM
ing events. regard n. B Forrest one
of the most extraordinary men devel-
oped by our civil war, and were it left
to me in the event of a war requiring
cavalry, would unhesitatngly accept
his services, and give him a prominent
place. believe now he would fight
against our national enemies as vehem-
emily as he did against us, and that is
saying enough.
[Signedl W. T. SIBERIAN, Gen.
I don't believe there viii be a war,
for neither government wants a war.
Again, in the event of war with Spain
on account of Cuba, the bulk of the
fighting would be afoat, for whoever
commands the sea can have Cuba. We
may not now have sufficient heavy iron
clad ships, but then some could be had,
and we have an abundance Of good naval
officers and seamen, when the result
would be certain, leaving for the land
forces the smaller task of occupation.
No part of this will likely be confded
to me, and, therefore, have sent your
letter to the war department, which can
only act after congress declares war and
provides means for its prosecution.

The King of the Rag-Pickers.

In no capital does there exist a more
curious community than that very scru
tinizing body, the chffonniers of Paris
To watch them gutter-hunting is an
amusing sight; and the artistic way il
which bits of paper are picked up out O.
the street by help of long stick with 9
crook, and cast over the left shoulder in
to that basket, must often have awakened
the readers admiration. If ever there
was race apart, it is that of these gut
ter snipes. Whether in so gorgeous OF
advanced city as Paris, it is necessary
to have at 10 o'clock at night SO much
household stuff, meat, feathers, melon,
fruit and flowers as we nightly discover
by several of our senses to be in state
bordering on putrefaction, is perhaps tc
be questioned but, as the disease exists
the remedy is required; and it really
seems efficient. This, perhaps unpleas
ant, but to US most personal, question
was brought to my mind by the death Of
the "king of the gutter searchers," an
elected monarch who ruled firmly and
justly, and was besides sort of literary
dustman. The late Roi des Chiffonniers
was best known as LIE Pere Epingle ~
and his popularity may be estimated
from the fact that twelve hundred of his
constituents followed him to the grave.
Nor was that all. These pickers up OF
unconsidered trifes, who probably had
often given him good strong language
during his life, made series of orations
over his grave-after the examples OF
academicians, senators and deputies. No
body knows who the king was or whence
he came. Under his pillow was found a
packet of papers with this inscription
" To be burned after my DEATH" Round
his neck he wore miniature of Rachel,
the actress, and often, when one of the
inhabitants of the lie des Signes was in
distress the monarch would disappear for
some hours, and always return with mon
ey. He was veritably king of his quar-.
ter, and his people adored him. He
signed their agreements, regulated Their
differences and judged their offences
Every thief was Immediately expelled
and forever an event however, which
occurred but rarely. He was something
of doctor and himself mixed the med
icines which he distributed gratuitously
He was lover of books, which he lent
freely; and at evening ne taught chill
dren to read. 1t seems to me a curiou:
and instructive study, that of the deacon
of the lowest craft in Paris, rising better
from the gutter than many respectable
people, administering justice, stopping
crime, advancing education and teaching
young children, who probably had nc

A STORY OF MIsFoRTUNE.-On Mon
day a vessel arrived at our wharves from
Baltimore, having on board man about
fifty years of age named William Her.
bert Smith, who seven days before the
arrival of the vessel had been most seri
ously injured. While reefng a wet sail
in storm, he had fallen upon wooden
pin which had ruptured his abdomen
and left him in terrible condition. AS
soon as the vessel reached here DR.. Nor.
ton, the city physician, was sent for but
was unable to do anything to relieve the
sufferer. The man was strung up by the
heels and efforts made to return his pro-
truding entrails to their proper place,
but all in vain. He was therefore sent
to the marine hospital at Chelsea.
This man Smith has had most re.
markable history. Before the war be
was rich and prosperous. He owned a
large plantation about eleven miles from
Charlestown, S. c., and about 180 slaves
The Confederate authorities took his
slaves and put them at work upon earth
works in Charlestown, and most of them
failed to return. When Sherman march
ed through that country the Northern
soldiers drove off all his stock and burn.
ed his buildings, leaving him absolutely
nothing but his land. Then, as he ex.
presses it, came the hardest blows of all.
His daughter ran off with Yankee
lieutenant, and shortly after he lost his
wife by death. Left alone in the world
he traded his land for patent right,
and the patent proved worthless, although
the invention was good one. A desti.
tute, lonely man, he finally brought up
in Baltimore, and having been to sea
when boy shipped on board the vessel
that brought him here.
His appearance and conversation indl
Gated that he was man of intelligence
and education. He bore his terrible
sufferings like hero and philosopher
fully realizing that he is now a physical
wreck and that if he lives more years
he must drag out miserable existence
