An Unusual Freak Of Nature.

John Wilson brought to this office
yester day an ancient curiosity curious
from its aye and the position in which
it was found, rather than from its an.
pearance. The object referred to is a
stone. oval shaped, about two inches
long and n inch in width around the
longitudinal and la;itudinsl centers a
slight groove is cut, as though it had at
some time been tied to some object with
a string, In the manner of an arrow head.
stone was taken from an oak tree
recently Gil. down a. Holden; the tree
made thirty four cords of wood. This
curiosity was found in a part OF the
trunk fourteen feet from tie ground.
where the oismetrical measurment was
six feet. The wood was SOLID above.
below, and around the stone, with the
exception OF a small cavity in which the
specimen lay; here was some decayed
wood and a small piece of bark. There
were two hundred and seventy-six con-
centric rings or layers outside the bark.

Railroad vs.. Stage Coach.

On this point Charles F. Adams, Jr
observes, writing in the February Aaan-
tie:
In proportion to the whole number
carried, the accidents to passengers in
1.-THE good old days of stage coaches"
were, as compared to the present time
of the railroad dispensation, about as
sixty to q This result, it is true,
cannot he verified in the experience
either of England or of this country,
for neither the English nor we possess
any statistics in relation to the earlier
period; but they have such statistics in
France, and very reliable they are also,
stretching over a period of more than
forty years. If these Freach statiGtics
held true of New England land con.
sidering the character of our roads, con
veyances, and climate, their showing
Il more likely to be in our favor than
against us-if they simply held true,
leaving US to assume that stage coach
travelling was not less safe in Massa-
chusetts than in France, then it wouid
follow that to make the dangers of the
rail of the present day equal to those of
the highway of half a century back,
some eighty passengers should annually
be killed and some eleven hundred in
jured within the limits of Massachusetts,
Alone. These figures, however, repre-
sent rather more than fifty times the
actual average, and from them it would
seem to be not unfair to conclude that,
Notwithstanding the great increase of
population and the yet greater increase
In travel during the last half century,
there were literally more persons killed
and injured each year in Massachusetts,
fifty years ago through accidents to stage
coaches than there are now through acct
dents to railroad trains.

Women Mt Michigan University.

Having been in happy operation for
twenty nine years as university exclu-
sively for men, in the year 1870 it
opened its doors in all departments for
the admission Of women. According to
the most recent returns, one hundred
and seventeen of that sex are now avail
ing themselves of the right to univer-
sity instruction thus recognized. In
the distribution which they have made
OF themselves among the several depart
ments, there is no little Significance
four OF them having chosen the law,
forty-seven medicine, and sixty-six
literature and science. Before 1870
there were several colleges in America
which had adopted the system of co
education; but all of these had a.
dopted that system from the beginning.
Michigan is the first university which,
having begun its life and attained emf
nent success upon the old exclusive sys-
tenn, then deliberately Incorporated up
on itsef the new and more comprehen.
sive plan. The resolution to do so was
by no means a hasty one, or taken with
much cheerfulness. 1t had been under
consideration for twenty years, and
when adopted at last, it was adopted
with no little anxiety. Our experience
of five years has, l think, convinced
everybody here that this anxiety was
not well founded. Neither good order
nor the scholarship of the University
has suffered any harm from the presence
of ladies in its class.rooms; while the
physical disasters to the women them.
selves, which an eminent medical au.
'hority has of late clearly demonstrated
to be the penal consequences of femin.
inc toll at the dry and arduous tasks of
university study, have thus TAR strangely
failed to make their appearance in this
neighborhooj. Indeed, the ladies here
seem to thrive ludiorously we'll under
the ragged regimen to which they have
been put; and their omission to verify
the predictions of an priori alarm is
something bordering upon the cruel.
A benevolent mind observing these
things can hardly do less than utter a
word of kindly caution to all persons
who still desire to take unalloyed COM
fort in the doctrine that women are not
hit for universities, or that universities
are not tit for women; such persons
should ALLURE the ne~ighborhood or in
situations like the University of Michi-
agn, and faithfully limit themselves to
speculative data.-By Prot. Moses Colt
Tyler, in Scri5ner for February.

Embroidery that Is Worth White.

There Is no such waste Of time, money.
and patience as the worsted work and
embroidery to which our ladies give up
so much of their leisure. 1t isn't beau
riful. II isn't u.eful, and it stands much
10 the wav Of educating the eye and the
general taste. Ui course girls Will
always make slippers and smoking caps
foI young men-at least l hope so; they
enjoy making them, and the young men
are not what l take 'em for if they don't
enjoy getting them. There is no reason
whatever why these things should not
be well designed; but they neyer will be
SO long as the girls are SO wanting in
taste as to put up with the patterns they
find in the shops. I suppose, however,
if the young men and msidens were not
SO easily pleased, or had a taste of their
own, there would be a supply of patterns
to meet a more exacting demsnd. So
long as people are in the %infantile state
OF mind that is pleased with little imps
and devils careering over slipper toes, Oh
chasing one another along a lambre9uin,
with foxes heads and tails, hunting
caps and whips, or with any out of the
whole catalogue We all know so well. not
much can be hoped for. But the advice
to take up embroidery did not have Ief-
erence to little love and friendship
tokens of the cap and slipper tribe. 1t
was intended TO apply TO more serious
works, such as coverings for furniture,
hengings for doors or walls, and the
like. Since things took a turn in Eng
land, and the arts Of furniture and house
decoration began to interest artists and
architects, and the new doctrine found a
sacred poet to father il and save il from
sinking into trade and commonplace, the
arts of embroidery have been inspired
with new life, and have enlisted in their
a number of good talents, who
have not only given pleasure to the pub
lie, but have found pleasure and profit
in it for themselves. Some Of the ladies
belonging to the families of the house of
Morris, Marshall & Co., have dis!in-
guishsd themselves by the beauty and
originality of their designs, II no less
tor the excellence of the workmanship:
and they have bee me important mem
bers of TIE business, their work and
their taste having not a little to do with
the success of the enterprise.-C arence
Cook, in Scribnertor February.
