NEW SUGAR PLANTATIoN.-The steamer, on Der
last trip to windward, landed at Molokai seventy
bead of bullock, belonging 10 Mr. J. McColgan, who
proposes TO start sugar plantation on land which
he hss lately leased from the administrators of the
late Kings estate The tract, which is located be-
tween Kaunakakai and Kauaaha, comprises about
four thousand acres, stretching from the sea to the
mountains, and is known as Kamaloo. OF this
about one hundred and fifty acres are low land,
and believed TO be adapted TO cane growing. The
cane will be cultivated by farmer who has already
gone TO work The mill is the same as that used on
Mr. McColgan's Eva plantation, and will be set up
in time to take of the crop, which will be ground
on shares. This system divides the risk and the
profit between the planter and manufacturer.

NOMAN'S RIGHTS At EVANSTON.

TO the Editor af The chtcaoo 7rtbnae:
SIN: Having daughter at the Woman'a Col
lego Of tho Northwestern University, I have
~ead with interest the communications in your
papor on tho above subject.
Judging from much that has been written,
one would suppose that this college was found
cd expressly to assert tho rights OF woman. It's
aims. I tako it, are far higher,-tho training up
Of disciplined, aef-ro1iant, cultured women.
Tho question above all others which first
concerns tho patrons Of tile school is, whether
tho department Of their daughters will bo
watched over with tigilant care. They will hold
tho proper authorities to rigid account for any
lack Of fidelity. This they we'll understand; /;

Thousand times better afford to auffer it may be

their hands,.

find fault with existing rules than to propos Q
others that would succeed botter, bog to aug-
gest somo ronsons why Rule O., as we'll as tho

and finally decide adversely through fear of in
