When DR.. Clarke published his little book
on this topic he called out multitude Of re-
plies. Most Of them consisted Of two parts,-
virnlent abuse of his opinions and complacent
parade Of the writer's own. It did not seem
to occur to anybody, at first, that facts were
what would settle the question. The tide has
turned at last, however, and educators nre be-
ginning to investigate what hos been done
for tho sake of seeing what should be done,
instead Of evolving both sets of ideas from
their inner consciousness. The atlantic for
December contains an account Of an
admirable system for the higher education Of
women, which has stood the test Of sixty
years trial in Paris.
This system was devised by II. Colart.
His successor is II. Remy. The classes meet
only once week, and the session lasts only
q recitation. The lessons are given out one
week beforehand Their mastery requires an
average of four or five hours of daily study.
The 6 iris sit, during recitation, around
q long table. Their governesses or parents
are at one end of the room, where rows of
chairs ere placed for them. The first exer-
else is essay -reading. II. Remy reads one or
two of the best Of the essays handed in the
week before, and comments upon them. A
recitation of about forty lines of poetry fol-
lows. In this n. Remy skips from name to
name, allowing each pupil to give only line
or two. This is the only verbal exercise.
Everything else is in writing A question
is asked, and ench pupil writes in
her e1ercise-book the answer, The as
sstart-teachers, who are women, inspect
the answers, and give the successful pupils
small counter apiece. This programmes is pur-
sued through the two hours. When the ses-
sion is over, the number Of counters received
by each pupil is recorded The standing Of
each is thus fixed. II. Remy teaches in this
way two elementary, four middle, and three
superior classes. Tho first set is for girls
from $ to years old; the second for those
from to Is; and the third for those
from Is to 20. A girl who has
passed through his classes may fairly
be considered as not only cultivated, but q
cultured, woman. The marked feature of the
system is that it does not make those daily
demands upon the feminine physique which
Dr.. Clarke regards as so fatal. The pupil
can rest whenever she ought to do so. In
giving her this privilege, the ColartRemy
plan is unique.

bevond its natural limits The first IS the
tariff, which, by taxing foreign competition
almost out of the market, concentrates our
demand upon our vanishing forests. The
second is the fact that the price does not rise
and SO check demand The reason for this
is, that transportation is the chief element OF
cost in the wood delivered at our doors, and this
decreases SO rapidly that it counteracts the
otherwise inevitable rise in price. The destruc-
ton of our forests is an evil, not only be-
cause it threntens to deprive the country, ere
long, of an Indispensable rnw material, but
because it has bad climatic effect. It is
vigorously denied that forests influence the
rnin-fall, but the facts are the other way.
Their capacity to greatly increase the annual
rainfall has doubtless been exaggerated, but
they guard the ground from the scorohing
rays Of the sun, and SO preserve it's moisture,
and thus, indirectly at least, result in more
rain.
The remedy for these threatened evils is in
tho creation, by law, of large forest-resel :cs,
and in the encouragement of tree-planting by
the State and the individual. Nebraska has
already done good deal in the latter way.
She offers rewards for forest-culture, and ap-
propriates, we believe, an annual SUN for
reo-planting by her own officials, appointed
for that purpose. The Kansas Pacific Rail
road Company has set out number Of trees
along its line, where it was said no tree could
grow, and has had the satisfaction Of seeing
large proportion OF them thrive. Other
Western railroad companies and other West
ern States would do well to follow these ex-
auples.

That very useful, elastic, and suggestive
article, the United States Census, furnishes
some very interesting facts which have di-
rect bearing upon nearly all the phases of the
woman question now agitating the communi-
ty. These facts, in addition to their bearing,
present some very unique and curious infor-
nation. It has been one of the chief
grounds Of complaint upon the part of the
advocates of women's rights that the various
trades, professions, and occupations are mo-
nopo1ized by men, and that the women are
kept out of lucrative situations which they
are qualified to fill. The census furnishes
some important testimony upon this point.
In the following table we give the principal
occupations of females in the United States,
with the numbers severa11y employed:

Many who are suffering from the
effects OF the warm weather and are
debilitated, arc advised by physicians
to take moderate amounts of whiskey
two or three times during the day. In
q little while, those who adopt this
advice frequently increase the number
of drinks and in time become con-
firmed inebriates. A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating
liqnors, and which is intended espe.
CHILLY for the benefit Of debilitated
persons, whether at home or abroad. is
DR.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con-
taining the juices Of many medicinal
herbs, this preparation does not create
an appetite for the intoxicating cup.
The nourishing and the life supporting
properties of many valuable natural
productions contained in it and we'll
known to medical men have q most
strengthening influence. A single
bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its
valuable qualities. For debility aris.
ing from sickness, over.exersion or
from any cause whatever, a wine-
glassful OF Sea Weed Tonic, taken
after meals, will strengthen the sto-
mach and create an appetite for whole.
some food. To oil who arc about
leaving their homes. we desire to say
that the excellent effects of DR..
Sohenck's sessonsble remedies, Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. are
particularly evident when taken by
those who are ipiuriously affected by a
change Of water and diet. No person
should leave home without taking a
supply of these safeguards along. For
sale by all druggists. A9tl3

IHE RIOT AT SOMERYILLE, TENNES
sEE.-The election of the 9th had been
hotIy contested, and many negroes had
attended the polls during the day
heavily armed, and some had openly
threatened to bnrn the town. During
the day. q prominent negro politician j,
named Cash Warren, had cursed and
abused young brother of Mayor Hen
don, and on yesterday, encountering
Mayor Hendon on tho street, began to
abuse him. and finally snapped pis
tol In the Mayors face, who then drew
pistol and shot him dead. Almost
simultaneously two or three shots were
fired at the negro by the friends of the
Mayor, who had collected there, among
whom was Oscar Burton, who was
charged with firing at Warren when he
met his death. by the negroes. who
had become very much incensed at the
death OF Warren and threatened to
kill Burton, who, about II o. clock, ap-
peared on the streets, armed with a
donble-barrelled shotgun and pistols
Judge j. G. Reeves. Albert Reeves,
the Sheriff elect, and another brother
named Paul, attempted to arrest and
disarm Burton, and, owing to report
that body of negroes were marching
into town, Burton refused to be arrest
ed and they opened fire on him. wound
ing him severely in four different
places. He returned the fire with q
shotgun, mortally wounding Paul and
Albert and then fell himself, but ruis-
ing himself ON his elbows. drew his
pistol and shot J. G. Reeves in the
shoulder. irlicting dangerous but
not fatal wound. Tho party of ne
groes who had congregated then open
ed fire on Burton, shooting him in q
number of places. and one rushing up
put pistol to his buck. In all, he re-
ceived thirteen wounds, anu if any
provo fatal, which the doctors doubt,
1t will be the one last mentioned. The
excitement that followed was Intense.
Reports spread that negro minors had
been sent to the country to stir up the
various colored societies, and Mem
rhis was telegraphed to for aid. Many
negroes left town as was supposed to
procure reinforoements, among whom
was Williamson, who. in q speech dur.
ing the canvass, said if tho Civil
Rights bill was not passed he would
ride in blood up to his bride bits, was
captured last night, but escaped after
wards. On the arrival OF the military
from Memphis. they found the citizens
In arms and the town under strict

great JOY by the whites.

SIGNALS OF DISTRESS. When the
eyes have become dull and heavy, the
nervous system morbidly sensitive, the
muscles hacoid, The complexion sallcw.
the body languid. the mind listless,
and the fire and energy which shoald
characterizs health have wholly or
measurahly disappeared, the indi-
viaual exhibiting these symptoms may
take it for granted that his stomach is
diseased, his liver disordered, his
blood impure or impoverished, and
his constitutional stamina and vitality
impaired. What his case requires is
imm ediate and judicious medical treat
ment. He need not, however, put
himself to the expense of consulting
physician. It is as clear as the sun in
a cloudless sky that he is dyspeptic,
and it ia as certain "a any demonstrated
fact can be that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will cure dyspepsia and all the
brood of bodily and mental ills OF
which it is tho parent. Let him COM
mence course of the remedy at once,
and, following the directions faithfully,
continue to take it until every disa-
greeable symptom shall have disap.
peafed. If it be case of long stand
ing, the cure will not be sndden and
immediate. The great tonic and cor
rective, potent as it is, does not work
miracles; but surely, though gradu-
ally, it will restore the sufferer to per-
feet health. From day to day his eyes
will become brighter, his nerves tirner,
his muscles more elastic, his com.
plexion fresher and clearer, his spirits
brisker. In due time he will be once
more in flt condition to fight the
battle OF life vigorously and effectively,
and will admit that, if dyspepsia is our
national disease, we have in Hostel
