4 Timely suggestion.

IUfAVlIC
Some OF the Western papers are agltating for
soup-houses. Soup Is q wholesome article OF
food, and 1t IA generally agreed that 1t would be
well for Americans to eat more OF 1t than they
do. But Instead OF furnishing 1t free to who
ever will go for 1t, thus striking blow at the
pride and self-respect Of the poor who have those
manly qualities, and encouraging the ldleuess OF
the lndolent and thriltless, It would be vastly
better for a few public!sprlted men TO unite In
estabishinRa q restaurant where soup aud sml-
lar articles OF food shall be well cooked and fur
nished 1t cost. The best Of beef or mutton, or
vegetable soup, can be made for I'VE cents q
plate; and . clean restaurant where such artl-
ces shall be served up between 10 and 0 O'Clock
would meet real want In all our large cities,
aud be vastly better for all concerned than free
dinners. We cannot afford to strike at the hest
things In human nature, nor TO encourage the
worst,

what tho Women Want.


Thus, II the brothers OF family seek either Of
the liberal professions, or wish as professors to
. lucate their own sex, nearly one thousand COL
Icgcs and professional schools arc endowed for
their preparation and future support. but as
yet no such advantages have been provided for
the sisters Of family. There Is not real college
for women yet In existence, though many take
this ambitious name; for the distinctive feature
Of college Ia independent professors supported
by endowments securing such division OF care
and labor as never eau exist where an Institution
depends chiefly on tuition fees, aud on the char.
acter OF Its principal, as Ia now the case with all
so-called woman colleges. Even vassar Is no
exception, Its funds being all expended In build.
ing and apparatus. Instead Of leisure for self
improvement AMI the advance OF the gwen de-
pArtment the lady principals Of our higher
schools have had to 1t themselves to superln.
tend classes In most Of the college studies, aided
only by poorly trained assistants, while often 70
this is added the charge Of q boarding. house,
involving debts and dunning for needful rent,
fo1d and furniture, and all the care of q family
OF teachers and pupils. It was such multiplied
RESPONSIBILITIES that, IN ten years, changed me
from a vigorous, healthy woman TO q helpless
Invalid. And many Of our noblest women
teachers have met or are fastening to the same

Deacon Smiths OpInioo or Dana.


We published the other day apoom so bad
that we felt confident there was only one man
in America bad enough TO have written tive
refer. OF course, to tho notorious CHARLES \.
Dana. This morning we pubhsh another, which
we are sure we correctly attrihnte 70 the samo
bad man. This Dana Is the nominal editor OF
the New York sun, and he Il also the reputed
compiler OF the Household Book Of Poetry.
From the fact that whatever good thing appears
In the sun Ia due TO the labors OF q lawyer
named Bartlett and one stanton, We suppose
some one must have edited the compilations OF
poems to which we have REFEREED Dana, how
ever, taking credit for u. II Dana should he
intrusted with the care Of any future edition hl.
overweenlng vanity and hts shocking lack OF
taste would undoubtedly lead him TO republlsh
the poem we print this morning, and also his
former production on the Asiatlc cholera. We
warn the publishers, therefore, TO take care that
the reputation Dana has got from Btrtleus
labors does not secure for him wor. for which
neither ability nor Judgment entities him.

Ancient and Modern Art.

There Is at present ca exhibition in Four
teenth street, New York, what may he called a
complete collection OF me pottery AMI porcelain
OF the world-embracing speclmens thousand
years older than the Christian era, doul to the

Cnlcrar,,s Exumple,

A contemporary remarks OF Calcrat., the great
London haugman, that he began life by "sellng
rolls and smoking hot coffee" Without inquir-
ting into the effect which smoking hot coffee, In
stead Of smoking cigars, had upon Calcraft's
constitution, 1t Is worth while to Gail the atten-
tion OF the young to the success which this man
has achieved In life. Beginning In the humblcst
way, as mere keeper Of q sidewalk coffee and
cake stand, he has steadily risen by his frugallty
AMI honesty to his present proud position. We
may be sure that he never listened to teinpta-
tlon, that he never kept his stand open on sun
day, and that he always gave good money In
change. Ills story ought to NIL our ambitious
yOut. with new hope and determination to
achieve success by honest Industry. or course
every boy cannot expect tn be q hangman, but
the success OF CalcrIft shows that industry IA
sure Of Its reward, and the possibility OF riya!-
ing his good fortune to stimulate every small
boy TO diligence and frupality.

The Issue of the Rature.

Aud so this result has at least the one ehvan-

Tue CHAIRMAN OF the executive commit
tee of the Conservative party Of Virginia
has issued an address to the sham-chivalry
congratulating them upon the recent Demo-
cratic victory in the State, declaring that 1t
Is "a victory worthy OF the great principles
you advocate; worthy your patriot sires;
worthy the cause Of liberty and the noble
trlumyiratc that gallantly bore your dag and
rouscd your opponents upon every contested
field" The hollow mockery Of this bonn
bastlc declaration will disgust where 1t does
not deceive, aud ii will deceive only where
dupes arc ready to swallow falsehood as
truth. The world knows that the Democrats
Of Virginia had no vital principle ut stake in
the late canvass; that they relied upon base
prejudice and intimidation to secure victory
which proves them to be unworthy Of their
"patriOt sires," as II proves them to be the
greatest moral towards that Providence, In
Its inscrutablc wisdom, ever allowed the Garth
to be dlsgraced with. We do not expect that
single promise or intimation OF reform
made by them during the canvass will be
fulfilled. From q race Of liars, the degen.
crate sons Of gentlemen, the persecution Of
the Ignorant and the weak was to be ex'
pccted, and Is TO be expected in the future.
