NY WAY OF CORRKcrIoN.

The Ohio State Journal In recent issue
says, 1.-THE papers OF Washington have pa
thctic way just now of appealing to Congress
to assume the debt incurred in the street Inn
proyements Of that city. The National Capital,
1t ls said, belongs to the Nation; whatever
improves 1t benefits the Nation, and 1t Is but
fair, therefore, that the whole country should
hear the expense of its advancement" Our
excellent contemporary has, we suspect, been
reading the ISLANDERS and misrepresentation
Of the opposition press in regard to the Dis
trict, and not the Washington papers. Ger
tainly, we have never seen In any one Of the
journals printed here any such appeal as that
above alluded to. All that they have ever
advocated Is that the Government should pay
Its proportion Of the expense OF the improve
mept OF the avenues and streets In other
words, that 1t should pay for the grading and
paving around the public buildings aud
Grounds, as citizens pay for similar work In
front OF their residences, places Of business,
and property. The Government owns an i'm
mensc amount Of property here, and II is GER
taluly unfair to expect that the expense OF
Improving and making il tapproaehahlo should

The Pope's Barber.

The 1rst great feature which cannot fall to

maps OF Earopela gaogaphsrs, which give the
topography Of the region, is that the Danube

these levels are separated by elevated ridges
which cross lis coNrse at various angles. In the

into many arms. forming innumerable little
islands. 4 large portion OF the valley, however.

soil; In some cases this resembles our glacial
drift In Others, over great extents, II Is like the
bun formation of the Mississippi valley, that

when near the river resemble our terraces Of
modified drift, but they do not seem TO have
been changed at ell since their deposit from
quiet waters. Except In the immediate river
bottoms there are no deposits OF stratined grav-
els, such as are so common along most OF our
Western streams. The glacial DRIFTS on the con-
trary are nlled with rolled masses, larger and
smaller, as we md them nearer or more remote
from the mountains whence they have been de-
rived. There is evidence, however, OF some
modification OF the drift In all the tributaries OF
the Danube that now from the Tyrollen Alps Of
Styria, such AZ the Sszbach, the Inns, and the
Ruhs, which present the most admirable illus.
trations OF the terrace formation. and where the
gravels are often so firmly cemented as to have

Female kducatlon in England.


There Is On old ard very Saxon proverb which
SAYS, "Neyer let your pigs know you are driving
them to market" The University college, Of
London, has for q year or two been adopting that
plan In the matter OF educating women. The
friends OF the plan Of co-education of sexes, or
Of opening tho higher Institutions to women,
have for some time been aware that while other
colleges and universities have been engaged In q
fierce struggle about the name and form Of the
thing, women have been quietly receiving the
advantages, not only OF examinations, (that they
now have at Cambridge and OSfOrIl,t but also OF
the very lecture-rOoms and professors OF the Col
lege OF London. The matter has been kept rather
quiet, but the HIH Nall Gdlsffs has q paragraph
which Iusy produce some tTepidiiion. IL says
that "the lecture hours are so adjusted that when
attendance on the ladies' classes do not meet,
but the presence OF ladies' In aud about tho col
iege Is now taken as a matter Of course, excttes
no particular observation, and has never given
occasion for an act OF dscourtcsy.' But the
fact is,lsiies sre gradually being limited along
with the male students, They have already got
into several OF the Ordinary classes, and this
week will probably be admitted into one or two
more, unless the paragraph referred to exctcs
the alarm Of the "fogles." The number OF ladies'
attending the classes last year was nearly three
hundred. A large NUMBER OF ladies attended
the fine art department with the male students.
There are seventeen classes beside the nue arr

being hungry for month. These articles and
the conn remained on the sidewalk until late
the next forenoon, surrounded by paid mourn

IN the matter OF giving full value for the money
received. At the cemetery, after the cOiiin had
been lowered, hired mourners and two chill.
dTen OF the deceased walked round the grave
once, while the husband remained standing
silently by. Then vessels containing food were
put In the grave Ut the head and foot OF the cot

to be put In were live chickens and ducks, and
these were promptly covered with earth. The

apples, nuts, candy, &C., were laid upon the

Chinese returned home In their carriages, while
some Christian boys, who had been closely
watching the proceedings, gathered up the fruit,
