VICTORIA AND ALBERT.-The grief Of

Consort seems to be uneeasing. A Lon
don correspondent of the New York Sun
writes:
She had the arm of the late Prince
Albert nodded in wax and clothed, and
would pass hours with it drawn through
hers, absorbed in melancholy reflections
recalling the past. The apartments OF
the deceased were kept in precisely the
same order as that observed in his life
time; his slippers and dressing-gown reg
ularly aired; his clothes, boots and toile,
apparatus placed as though be might
come back at any moment to claim them.
She slept land sleeps with his painted
portrait pinned on the bed head and
framed with immortelles beside her. Hell
letter paper and envelopes were SO deep
ly bordered with black that the white
space resembled a mere patch of sable
ground. Lastly, she kept all her ser
wants in the completest mourning for
long, long time, and wanted the Prince
of Wales, even after be got married ant
set up for himself at Marlboro House, t.
do the same, which the young man fiatl!
refused to do.

WOMAN.

A true man can never cease admiring-
ever adoring-the gentler sex; but how
best to express admiration for her is the
question. A genuine spirit Of gallantry
which brings every chivalric man to brave
any danger in her defense is the spirit
which, since the Dark Ages, has actuated
civilized man. But in the later years
some of the sex have begun to pirate
about rights-the right to vote and hold
Office, to pursue the same avocations and
wear the same garments as man-and In
their folly have drawn to their support
some of the sterner sex. The especial
advocates of "woman's rights" have
pressed their ideas with such persistence
as to render them so formidable that
their arguments and pleas must be met
and overthrow. To accomplish this
purpose, and thus save society from re-
lapsing into chaos, some of the best
minds of our country have been engaged.
Co-education of the sexes is now the par
ticular branch Of the woman question to
which attention has lately been directed.
We find the following leading propositions
in the Atlantic for December, which we
trust arc so plain that "the wayfaring
man, though a fool, may not err there
in, yet not too plain for the most re-
fined and dignifed Of our readers, male
or female:
/. The organization of woman defines
for her special career of her own, as
that of man does for him.
2 The maturing process in the female
covers the same four or five years
which are commonly given to education
in the better instructed classes.
3. If the brain is overworked during
this period, the force intended for the
development of the special life of the
/ female is diverted from it, and there is
an arrest in the development Of physical
womsnhood.
4. The co.educatian of the sexes is
generally understood to mean theil
Identical education, and it is in this
/ identical education that the dangers
pointed out in the essay are to be looked
for. The co-education of the sexes i.
an experiment which the poverty OF oul
colleges practically prohibits, and which
presents an inherent difficulty in tn.
matter of adjusting the methods of in
struction to the physiological needs O
each sex; but these difficulties are no
insuperable; "the former can be removed
whenever those who heartily believe il
the success Of the experiment choose t.
get rid of it, and the latter by patien
and intelligent effort.
3. Periodicity is the type (law) of fe
male force and work; persistence, of NAL
force and work.
6. A boy may safely study six hour
daily, girl not more than four, or Q
most, five hours. She also requires
remission, and sometimes an intermis
sion, of both study and work for one c
more days at certain regular intervals.
7. The physical evils which follo'
from neglect of compliance with th
physiological conditions of maturin
womanhood are most evidently man
tested after school-days are over.
8. Special and appropriate educatio
for each sex is the need Of the time.

OFF THE TRAcK.-The Ogden Junction
usually very correct-draws an erro-
neous conclusion from the fact that Mr..
Blaine has been reelected Speaker of the
House of Representatives at Washington.
In this connection it says
The Spsakership is stepping stone to
the mansion now occupied by General
Grant, and he is not forgetful of the his
tory of one Of his predecessors who was
translated from the fauteuil of the House
to the Chief Magistracy James X. Polk
exchanged his seat as presiding officer of
that body for the position Of head of the
Republic, and Mr.. Blaine has in sight
that illustrious instance of the chances Of
promotion. He is young, popular, and
his ambition is inordinate. Deeply I'M
bued with all the prejudices of the puri-
tan, he yet possesses the faculty of gloss
ing over his intense partizan predilec-
tons. by pursuing an even course of APP
parent moderation, and preserving reti-
cence which disarms opposition. The
nomination and election of Blaine to the
Spsakership next Monday, brings into
prominence his name as a prospective
successor to the hero of Apponattox.
James X. Polk is the only Speaker OF
the House who ever attained the Presi.
dency, and therefore it can hardly be
said fairly that the Speakership is step
ping stone to President. Mr.. Poll
was Speaker in 1885, was Governor Of
Tennessee in 1889, and President il
1915. If he stepped from the Speaker
ship into the Presidential chair, it was
big step indeed. Vice President or Sec
rotary Of State is shown to be more of
stepping stone to the Presidency than thu
Speakership. Of the Vice President
who became President by election W

Buren,; of Secretaries of State who at

A RUSSIAN journal relates very anus
ing story about new religious sect
which has lately sprung up in Porchow
department of Pskow, Russia. The
founder Of the sect is monk called Ser
aphinus, and for this reason his follow
ers are known as the Serasinowski. The
founder only admitted women to the new
religious society, and each one that
joined was first compelled to let her hair
be cut of, as sign of submission. The
number of adopts increased SO largely
that the good Seraphinus would soon
have had the hair Of all the women in
the district cut off, if the police had not
interfered. After a careful investigation,
the authorities discovered that the
founder of the new faith had brother
who was q hair-dresser, and that he had
realized large sums by sending him the
hair The good Seraphinus is now in
prison.
