The Higher Education Of woman.

From the Popular Science Monthly.]
We yield to no others in the earnest
ness of our belief in the higher educa-
ton of women; but we want to see them
take the matter In their own handsa and
work system of mental cultivation
adapted to their own natures and
needs. The higher education as en-
bodied III existing institutions cannot
meet this requirement. 1t is, in fact,
under indictment for non-adaptation
TO the present wants of men; and one
of the most profound and important of
of the reforms of our age is that thor
ough modification of collegiate methods
of study that shall bring them up to the
demands of modern life. That they
now answer to these demands but very
few will maintain. There are many,
and the number is increasing, who do
not go to college because the education
there obtained is thought TO be of
little use to the possessor, if not
indeed hlndrance to him in
his future experience with the
world. Thousand ignore all consider
alton of the usefulness Of what is to be
learned, and go or are sent to college
because it is the proper thing, fashion
of society, and has its social benefits;
and many undoubtedly 80 because
they have been made to believe that
the old education is the perfection of
human wisdom for mental discipline,
and is, after all, the best thing even for
practical life. Yet the distrust of the
system is deep, and has already made
itself so powerfully felt that the col
leges have been compelled. to yield to
1t, and In many cases to modify their
methods of instruction and create sup
Elemental schools devoted to modern
knowledge. The higher education of
men is thus in state of conflict and
transition; the old education is given
away, and new education is rising in
its place.

just overreached the prescribed age
that is supposed to make men of them.
Could such things exist without the
result that follows:
That our subject may be more fully
understood we will here state that Mrs.
Davis was a widow; not the species
that Samuel Weller so dreaded, but a
pleasant, accomplished lady; and Mr..
Musser was a widower, well established

EVERY body understands that the
editorials OF daily paper Nre written
during the day and night before publ
cation.
As we write this Csay Tuesday at 3
u, NJ the city election Is in progress.
What the result viii be, ut this hour,
we do not know. Mr.. Long or Gene
raj Cabcll may be elected.
But this we do know, that great
majority Of the people OF Dallas are
protested democrats, They know that
General Cabell sacrificed brilliant pros
poets when he resigned his Office az
captain in the United states army and
followed Virginia, his native state, in
the cause Of secession, They know
that Mr., Long, Swiss citizen Of Dal-
las, left the country to avoid u particle
patton in the war, and after the strug-
gle was over, he came back to Dallas
aud sought and held every Office he
could get hold Of under the military
and radical government, in which
there was either money or power to
Cypress.
The people of Dallas know this per-
fectly well. They know that Mr., Long
has prospered and made money. They
know that General Cabell lost all he
had by the war; and is poor. They
know that he has been true to the
cause of liberty and has spurned every
approach seeking to undermine his
virtue. Vet we blush to say that some
men, protesting to be democrats, have
industriously labored to defeat the in
corruptible Cabell with the polite,
non-committal Long. II such things
can succeed, where, in the name of
God, is the encouragement for men to
be honest and faithful If the opposite
is to prevail, why should any man
advocate honesty? Why not all turn
out to be selfish, low-down and I'M
principled? Answer If you can.

During the day yesterday, we were
rejuvenated and made to rejoice by
calls from number of old time friends,
chiefly down to Dallas in attendance
Oh the State Medical association,

some of whose friendship date back

Current Notes.

The Wilmington, N. c., Journal favors in
fation. 1t says: .'To us it seems clear that
there ought as rapidly as possible to be ma
terlal, substantial expansion and imitation of
the currency.....If any thing can save The farm
ing interests of the South from the bankrupt
cy now impending over it, it will be an in
Hated currency; in other words, cheap and
abundant legal tender for the payment OF
debts" Set up the printing presses.
The Philadelphia Press is still resolute re-
specting the Centennial despite the unfavor-
able action of the Senate aud the Philadel-
phia Assembly. 1t says: "We feel that Phil
adelphia is still in command of the position,
and that if Congress declines to reconsider its
adverse judgment, the great duty OF celebrat-
ing the Declaration of Independence may be
appropriately discharged by the people Of our
great city,"
Harper's Weekly predicts that San attempt
in the White House to Johnsonize the Re-
publican party failed, ard an effort to Butler
ize it will be equally useless"
The Washington Chronicle says that it is
no use tor the friends of the Centennial to
expect anything of Congress, and suggests
that Gen. Hawley aud his associates revive
the original plan of forming syndicates all
over the country, allow commission of five
per cent, interest the ladies, get up stocks
in shares Of ten dollars and assure the people
that the money contributed will be honestly
expended.
There is a curious rumor afoat that the
people of the Azores have requested President
Grant to annex them, and that the President
replied that ''the era of popular will had re-
placed the age of conquest"
Our Canadian neighbors are taking consid-
cradle interest in the subject of protecting
home industries, by increasing the tariff on
imported goods which come in competition
with domestic manufactures, The Toronto
Globe opposes the policy, and says it will not
be tax on Yankee production but on Eng
lish.
The Catholics OF New Brunswick are max
ing strenuous effort to have the free school
system of that Province abolished by the As
sembly. We trust that our ''Bluenose" neigh
bors won't forget that we are ON the '.home
stretch" of the nineteenth century.
The Boston Advertiser now puts Senator
Hamlin las voting against Simmons ccnfir-
nation in a list of the yeas and nays on that
question. Of the twenty-nine Senators vot-
ing for confirmation twelve were Democrats.
The Philadelphia Press says that the
Credit Mobilier was great political b,under
and weakened the confidence of thepeople in
many prominent leaders. 1t is matter of
congratulation that the Press has learned
this fact for it cannot any longer support
Tom Scott's $50,00O,OOO Southern Pacific
Credit Mobilier.

Gen. Hersey,

To the Editor of the Press:
notice in the Argus of this MORNING a
characteristic article full of slurs unon Cen
Hersey. Had the editor read the manor.
enough to have beeu respectfully well informed
he would have learned that Gen. Hersey has
been sick and confined to his house most Of the
winter. The writer has just returned from
Washington and knows that Gen. Hersey has
been to the House, attending to his duties, both
in the House and in Committee rooms when
he was hardy able to sit up, and often against
the earnest solicitations of his friends of both
parties, as well as the advice of his physician,
and when urged to go to some different climate
tor his health positively refused, saying he
must remain in Washington to attend to his
duties when able to leave his room.
Maine never had a Representative more earn
estly devoted to all her interests than he is.
Such slurs from such source may, and no
doubt will, annoy, bnt cannot injure man as
well known to the people of Maine as Gen.
