IT is not particularly surprising that the
German press should have been reused we'll
nigh to frenzy by the Journal de saint Pc
ters5ourg's article concerning German wO-
men. The article was as follows:
1t is very evident and very well known
that the German women occupy the lowest
rank in the great family of European females.
No comparison can be made between them
and such representatives of the sex as Russian
and French ladies-to even attempt it would
be absurd. The German woman, so truly
extraordinary, is devoid of all the appear
ances of womanhood. She is a sort of by
brid being, something between the female of
the human race and mammifer of the low
est animal tribe. "Mammifer," indeed, is
the precise word. German women are not
lowered with any Of the characteristics. of the
feline race, as agility, grace, quickness, gay
ETY.. Their distinctive characteristics are
vulgarity, coarscness, lazineSs, torpor and
weakness, and all these are so ground into
their nature that those who endeavor To
transform themselves and look elegant rescm-
bic heifers crowned with roses
The Germans who have been susceptible
on the subject of their women ever since the
days of Tacitus, are naturally furious over
this insult to the German women, and the
article has contributed not little 10 the
growing bad feeling between Germany and

The troubles in Middlebury College are Of
the most serious character. They originated
in cane rush in the chapel on Tuesday
morning of last week, and another one We'd
nesday morning. Thursday morning each
one Of the Sophomore class was given q
dement's, and each Of the Freshman class 1G
dement's. This made one Sophomore, G.. G.
Lcavcnworth, 50 many dement's that he ac.
cording to college laws, was suspended.
This So offended the balance of the
Sophomore class that they held class meet
nng and resolved thai the action of the facul
ty was un'iuly severe towards Leavenworth.
This resolution they sent to the faculty by
four members of the class, together with their
notification that they would go into volun-
tary suspension until their comrades case
had been rcconsidered and he had been
taken back. The Freshman class then
boiled all duties and defied college laws.
Then the Seniors, sympathizing with the

faculty:
To the Co!i,Js Faculty Whereas, we the under
signed members Of the Senior class, believe that III
Justice has been done in the action of the faculty
towards G. G.. LrayenwOrth; and whereas, we
believe that the final decision and action OF the
faculty in their dealings with the sophomore class
have been unduly severe therefore. We hereby
protest against such action, and furthermore We
propose To absent ourselves from all college cXrr-
cises until satisfaction has been obtained
Signed by all the members of the Senior class

Saturday morning the Junior class sent in
their designations. Ed W. Parker, Il son of
Prof. W. II. Parker, is a member of this class.
The students have all been ordered home,
and ii they do not signify their i'll
tention of returning and abiding by college
laws within one week they are to be dishOn-
orally dismissed Both the students and
faculty maintain their positions, each refus-
ing to concede a point, and the situation
seems to be of the most serious kind and
liable To end in the complete breaking-up of
this institution The students, however are
hoping to have a corporation meeting and it
is possible that a compromise will be made.

Railroad Progress

The progress and construction of
the railroad become so rapid as TO
be difficult to report accurately
without personal Inspection. The
track is now laid beyond Mohawk
Station. We reported in our last
issue that station would be estab-
lished at or near this place, which
is about sixty-two miles from
Yuma, but this idea has been
abandoned on account of the
want Of water, and, in few days,
station will be established
some five miles beyond Mohawk,
to be called Texas Hill. The grad
ing is now far ahead-some twenty
miles from this point. In few
days the saloons, hotels, etc, of
Adonde, will be removed to Texas
Hill, and the latter place will be
rife with hustle and business for
some six or eight weeks. We un
derstand that the next station will
be at Gila Bend, which is likely
to be reached about the 10th
or 10Th of next March. The next
station will be at point some
five miles south of Maricopa
Wells, where town Is being laid
out, from whence there is a good
level country nearly all the way to
Tucson. The stage line will remove
to TexasHill and connect there with
the trains. The telegraph line is
being kept up with the progress of
the road. The number Of men
emp'eyed is about 1,200-1,000
Cninamen and about 200 white
men, Yuma Eapositor.
