The war Of the rebellion effected a great reVolu-

the progress of sentiment in favor OF co-education,
and its introduction into so many institutions, both
old and new, is fast d~epriving that College Of its
pre-eminence in this respect, It has fine educa-
tional advantages, and its conservatory Of music
Is said to be amongst the best in the United States.
It's students, male and female, number more than
fourteen hundred in all Of its departments, and
though few of the young ladies choose the regular
college course, (most preferring the ladies' course)
yet it is open 10 all, on equal terms, and where the
studies are the same the classes recite together.
This is co-education. To be Of just the "same
Methods is not essential. Indeed, all of the more
prominent institutions are so e~nlarging the circle
of elective studies that there is much less of the
d" same method" in any of the educational institu-
tions than formerly and the time is not very dis
tant when the doors of all will be open to all who
are qualified, without respect to sex or color.

NUUASU VALLEY, July Sd, 1874
To the Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
sIR.-Although in your estimation, " rain Is the
normal condition Of this locality" it may be inter
esting to some Of your readers to know the difference
in amount, of one month as compared with another
the difference in the same month Of different years;
and the difference in quantity between this locality
and others not far distant, from which you are re-
eeiving and Publishing reports.
have predicted q wet summer-to the surprise Of
some Of ny neighbOrs-my prediction being based
principly upon the simple fact that ny record shows
about the same yearly average of rain, and as We
were much short Of our usual average during the
past year, 1 deemed it reasonable to look for the
balance during the summer.
The past month, here, has been unusually wet,
there having been no twenty -four hours during the
month without some rain, and upon six days the
amount fallen has been from one TO upwards Of two
inches per day.
The fall during the month has been 1851 inches,
being nearly four times as much as the May preced-
ing-more than double that Of April last-nearly
double the amount Of any month of June since 1868,
when we had 12.95 inches against 1896 in June,
1867; but 30 evenly has the rain Of the past month
been distributed through the month, that the guam
tity has scarcely been excess Of the full requirements
Of vegetation while subjected to the vertical rays of a
June sun.
On the first of last month there were hundreds of
acres in this valley without one blade of green grass,
it having been eaten to the roots by that curse of
this country, the peelua or caterpillar. Stock, cows
particularly, we're suffering for food; oxen used for
hauling heavy loads were compelled to perform
several days work upon less than one days food, but
thanks to q kind Provider of bountiful showers and
genial sun, the valley has nearly regained its usual
carpet of green-snimals now feed from grass Of fair
length, which will soon contain the nOurishment TO
more than supply the flesh and strength lost.
The springs are now as full as ordinarily during
the winter, and as "Old Sol" has started on his
little trip to light up the Antarctic regions, We may
reasonably anticipate an agreeable escape from
drouth during the summer, and disagreeable visits
and injunctiOns from the superintendent of water
for the city.

test the validity of the law unless
they disobey it. They do this under
the penalty of fine and Imprisonment

adjudged invalid, there is no compen-
sation intended to be made to the

every person who against his will, is

ish us with figures showing the
enormous profits realized by these

believed their own figures why do
they not sell out their shops, and get
up an honest railroad corporation,

To require them to run at o loss is
out of the question. If the Attorney
General and tho Companies would
settle upon it, the question might be
tried on an agreed case, in so short
time that neither party would be

where such diversity of views were
entertained on the difficult question
OF finance, and that all this labor
should be lost, the great weight OF

brought to bear in the case should all
be set aside by veto, was what the
friends of the bill had not anticipated,
and there is little wonder that they
feel their defeat somewhat keenly.
We say it to their credit that no par

veto was entirely consistent with the
expressed opinions Of the President,

dict that the future will show, that
by this exhibition of moral courage
new lustre has been added to the

Close estimates Of the Wisconsin
Weld for last winter are as follows !:


The leftover stock is estimated at
100000, 900 feet, making total for
the year of 1872, 600, O0o feet, or 3OO,-
100000 short Of last years crop
alone. Of the new crop, less than
the usual percentage is expected to
be floated down by freshets, and the
aggregate available stock this season
will probably not exceed 100000
600 feet, the balance being left in the
woods.
In Minnesota, on the Upper Mis-
sissippi, the new cut does not ex-
caed 150,0O0,000 feet, which added
to the old stock left over (27, 900, 900
feet at most), makes total, at a
most liberal estimate, of III 100000
feet from all possible sources, against
100000, 900 feet actually manufactur-
ed last year.
The market may be considered
safe, therefore, from over-stocking.

provision compelling the withdrawal
Of proportion of IS per ct. of legal

national bank notes are issued, one
dollar of legal tender shall be with
drawn. The anti-infationists demand
that as four dollars of national bank
notes are issued, two dollars of legal
tenders shall be withdrawn Speak
er Blaine proposes a compromise on
the middle ground Of forty per cent;
that is, as twenty dollars additional

IT Won't Do. OF all the mean
lodges Of the members Of Congress
who voted for the currency bill, this
is the meanest, most disreputable
and dishonest. They havo repre-
sented, or many of them have, that it
would increase the amount Of circu-
lating medium according to their
wishes; but now those members are
willing to expose their own hypocri-
sy, and tell US they were hoodwink-
ing their constituents, for all the
time the said members knew the cur
rency bill was measure Of contrac-
ton. President Grant would not let
them deceive the people in that way.
He tells them that the bill was ass
ed as a measure of expansion, and
will not allow them to palm off on
their constituents q contraction bill
under the disguise of imitation.
