long and furious strides, may be seen about

Indians. This apparent squaw Is an Indian
man sentenced by his tribe to wear woman :
habiliments during the remainder of his
natural lite. IlewiH not converse upon the
subject of his degradation with Il white
man, and the indians give different accounts
OF the matter. Some say he was cowardlv and

ment was altered into the more terrible one
of aSsociating with women only, as long as
he lives. Certain 1t l. that the male Indians

repulsed his friendly advances with con-

ABUSED AND DESERTED
We take from the San Jose (Cal.) Patriot
the following particulars of the strange
adventures of Bennington girl:
y year or more ago there resided in the
town of Bennington, VT. a widower named
James Ward and his daughter, Josephine,
aged seventeen years. Ward was somewha
noted for his bravery during the rebellion.
and having lost an arm during the first bat,
tie in the Wilderness, was considered hero
OF more than ordinary merit. Josephine
was then lovely creature, innocent and
guileless. and was considered the belle of
the town. In June, 1873, there appeared

TAKING FOR GRANTED.

Our age is called sccptical age yet
there probably never was one when
more blind faith was felti persons or sys
tens having authority The truth is we
rarely know enough to either believe
or not believe upon basis of reason and
fact, so we are very apt to accept per-
sons and opinions as we do our tea and
coffee, upon the representations that are
made Of them.
What We require more than aught else
is sound and scientific basis to educa-
ton for both men and women--a sys-
TEN ard method that would teach us to
weigh evidence, to judge Of character
and statement, to attach only the legiti-
mate values to accidental circumstances,
aud carefully avoid the exaggeration In
to which even estimable and intelligent
people are in constant danger.of falling
and which discredits ideas and opinions
otherwise entitled to respectful consider
alton.
We talk about progress, and some of
us really believe that mankind is max
ing rapid progress in the direction of
mental and material, if not moral devel-
opment, yet practically we act as though
wisdom had been born and died in and
with the past. All our teaching of the
young is an incalculation of statements
which have been made and which they
are simply taught to accept as truth,
not to examine as to whether they are
truth or not. Yet all our schools of sci
ence and philosophy show that we are
only on the Threshold of exact knowl-
edge, and that what we know is Just
enough to light US to that which is still
to be known.
Within the past fifty years the dis
coveries in medical science, in chemistry
and philosophy have revolutionized the
teachings and practices of the schools.
Why may not the discoveries of the
next fifty years accomplish as much !?
The true theory of education is to teach
people to think aad act for themselves
to believe a thing because they either
know it, or because, after carefully
weighing evidence OF all sides, it seems
the most probable and natural solution.
The faith which comes fran knowledge
strengthens the credulty which is the
offspring of ignorance, weakens and dc
stroys."

ROANOKE COLLEGE.

This institution, situated at Sa-
lem, Roanoke county, Va, is be-
coming more and more popular
every year. Rev. ID. e. Bittle, ID.
d., is president, to whom appliea-
ton can be made for catalogue or
any information desired. 1t is
under the patronage of the Luthe-
ran Church Itsstudents are from
nearly every State in the South
and from several northern and
western states. Its graduates are
filling prominent positions in
church and state,in law and medi-
cine and as educators in various
portions of the country--a fact
which shows the high grade and
efficiency Of the institution. 1t has
a valuab g cabinet of minerals and
laboratory, library Of 10000 vol
umes and reading room containing
100 periodicals.. Its prosperity is
shown by the Roanoke Tim 81:
Roanoke College has opened
with the largest attendance ever
had SO early in the session. A
large proportion of the former
students are returning and new
ones are coming in daily The in
creasing reputation of the institu-
lion is manifest from the large at
tendance from other states, while
the county and state patronage
shows that the college is apprecia-
ted where it is best known. Stu
dents are already in attendance
fir M fifteen states. Next in num-
Der to Virginia, come Tennessee.
Mississippi, Texas, West Virgin
ia, and Maryland. A college that
thus builds itself up by hard work
and self-denying efforts, without
endowment and in the midst of
strong competition, deserves the
success it is achieving. Lot all en-
courage the faculty in their efforts
to still further increase the attract
tons and advantages of the col
lege, until it is made second to
none in the south.
