WOman's Rights and wOman's
Wrongs.

Miss Emily Faithful bid adieu to her
American friends in Steinwsy Hall
New York, few evenings ago, IN a
speecb mainly devoted to the much
abused theme.oi womsn's rights. She
is reported as saying:
The problem, what we shall do with
our redundant women in England is
answered by some philosophers by pro-
posing emigration and marriage. But
emigration has already been largely
tried and Scotch, English and Irish
women have been sent 10 Australia and
America in great numbers without
much diminishing the gravity OF the
problem; while as for marriage, there
10 vet to be found the woman to saw
"No" when tine right man appears As
long as the number OF women in Great
Britain exceeds that OF the men by SIX
per cent, marriage will not wholly do
away with the d I'll 'ulty unless NOR
moDism is tried True marriage is the
crown and glory of woman's
life; but il must be founded
on love, and not on the
desire OF home or ot support, while
nothing can be more deplorabie, debas-
ing and corrupung than the loveless
marriages brought about in our upper
society by craving ambit on and a
longing for q good settlement. Love-
less marriages and different standard
Of morality for men and women are the
curses OF modern society. The dignity
o. labor is not yet properly appreciated.
We agree that work is honorable in
man, hut are not vet convinced that
lileness Is disnonorable in woman
A contempt o work is at the bottom OF
the mind Of fashionable young lady.
FnvolItv is 80 general that 1t Il sur
prls ng that 80 much good survives IN
spite Of neg lect. So long as we lrown
down and Sneer at the efforts to enlarge
wpman's sphere we are encouraging
frvohty and IdIeness in women. Wehear
the interests and rights OF women spoken
OF as it these coud be separ ated from
those OF man, as If men and women
were creatures OF different kind. A
most common and mischeviOus -ror Is
a. which would make won g. the
mere shadow aud attendant OF her lord,
as If shadow could be true helpmeet
W. have long since heard that mans
sphere is the world; wOman's is home
But women have part IN the world
too, while men are not CT piers in the
hone circle. The sneaker protested
against setting up an deal standard and
recognizing no womanIiness but such
a. con formed 10 that standard The
material need OF opening fresh avenues
TO woman is obvious; the moral neces-
sity is also OF the utmost importance
Women must have such occupations as
will give them true aud genuine sympa-
thies with their fathers and husbe nds,
who are toiling day by day for their
support, while the women dependent on
them are wearying outthe hours trying
10 kill time. In this way wide guilt,
constantly expanding, is opened between
men aud women.

An Hour IN General Lees Room.

From the Lexington CVL.) Gazette.
In strolllng around, the first spring
day, we stopped at the Memorial
Chapel and ptsspd through the rooms
particularly associated with the memory
OF General Lee. The guard-s student
Of the University-wslked with us
through the apartments
Over tie marble slab, in the center
nj the library room, are wreaths Of
flowers, crosses aud crowns OF imn.or-
teLleS in q circle OF autumn leaves. The
MARI ole is inserted in the floor and over
the vault.
From this room a door leads into the
office once used by the Secretary OF the
Faculty. This is now bare and empty
From this apartment q door opens
into small hall and then into the
Generals R oom," ss it is called. It is
well known that it's furniture has never
been changed. 1t remains as lett by
General Lee
The round table in the center OF the
room is still covered with bis papers
all orderly arranged. The scraps of
blank paper were kept in a systematic
manner, A professor took q piece for
a memorandum. when the General
handed him a fragment from another
lot. He had intended the first sheet
for another purpose All bis writing
was done at this table. He used 80
arm chair with leather seat and on
rollers. He wrote rapidly, rarely inter.
lining or emitting words. There was
no such things as rough drafts. He
finished at single heat whatever he
had in hand. When bis feelings we're
enlisted be never paused down to the
last period. HIS orders" or rather
addresses 10 the students, aud impor-
tsnt correspondence were fuished with
the ink wet on the first lines. He
never dictated. and used the Official
secretary spayingly.
His isyorIte pen was large gold
one OF curious model. 1t was almost
as broad rs it was long. 1t was heart
shaped. A irm in Baltimore owsed
the pattern. The first pen Of this kind
used by him was accidentally injured
The writer, at the request OF General
Lee, carried il to Baltimore, while on 8
Northern trip, and had it repaired, and
another made from the original die.
The inkstsud is still on the roand
table. The ink is raised by stmos-
pberic pressure applied BY screw. The
Instructions on it directed the ink TO be
lowered when not in use. He never
tailed to turn the screw and let the ink
down into the stand before leaving the
office. One oil his secretaries noticed
his regularity in this particular.
There was q lounge in the room, but
he was never known to rest himself for
q moment on it There never was .
pair OF sIipPere or robe de chdulbrs IN
his room. 1t is needless TO say no
cigars or pipes were there he wasn't
friendly 10 tobacco. But once was be
known to violate the smallest proprie;y
OF his position. During dull routine
OF Faculty Meetings" in warm weather
the President dozed 'or q few moments.
He sat, as usual, erect, bat bis eyes
gently yielded to the heat and bum-
drum. His coileages, with courtly
grace, let the bushes pause tall the brief
nap coded, and then started with the
last words the Chairman hsd heard.
