Educating Women.

Higher education among the middle
classes has,within the past few years,
wrought a far greater change in the social
status of women than all the vaporing
wordiness about their abstract rights and
wrongs could ever have done; and here,
as in other cases, practice has shown its
advantage over theory. Secure in the
possession of hat power which has been
alphabetically identified with knowledge,
the true +" girl of the period" regards as
useless and efete all questions as to her
intellectual equality with men. And well
she may do SO, considering the evidences
of her power and capacity, in the face of
the world. Take, for instance, the recent
examinations of the London University.
In French two ladies stand in the first
class, none of their male rivals having
got beyond the second. In German
there is a lady in the first class; while
one has obtained honors in Latin, two in
English, and two in mathematics. These,
together with the student from Newn-
ham, who has taken honors in botany
and chemistry, may smile at the old
fashioned preiudices which deny to
womnnkind any footing on the difficult
paths of science.-LOndon Telegraph.

A Jewish Legend.

According to the Jewish and Mohamme-
dan tradition, King Solomon, who was
wise beyond all othermen, knew the lam
guage of animals, and could talk with
the beasts of the field and the birds Of
the air. A Rabbinical story is told of
him which runs in this wise One day
the King rode out of Jerusalem with q
great retinue. An ant-hil lay directly
in his path, and Solomon heard its little
people talking.
Here comes the great King !" he
heard one of them say. Ellis fatterers
call him wise and just and mereiful but
he is about to ride over us, and crush
us without needing our sufferings."
And Solomon told the Queen of Sheba,
who rode with him, what the ant said.
And the Queen made answer
"He is an insolent creature, o King
1t Is q better fate than he deserves to be
trodden under our feet"
But Solomon said
at Is the part of wisdom to learn Of
the lowest and weakest"
And he commanded his train to turn
aside and spare the ant-hill. Then all
the courtiers marveled greatly, and the
Queen of Sheba she bowed her head and
made obeisance to Solomon, saying:
"Now know I the secret of thy wis.
dom. Thou listenest as patiently to the
r~eproaches of the humble as to the fiat
teries of the great"

One Question Too Many.

A shrewd old gentleman on the wit
ness-stand, testifying in a case of as
sault, was very careful on his direct ex-
animation to say that it was his "im-
preston" hat the defendant struck the
complainant with a club, The vague
ness and uncertainty with which he
stated this impression +" induced in the
young lawyers mind the belief that he
could worry the old gentleman on his
cross-examination. So when the wit
ness was turned over to him he began !:
"You say, Mr.. Jones, that you have an
impression that the defendant struck
this complainant with club. Now will
you please tell me what reason you have
for any such impression?' "Why, bless
your soul, Squire Strong" said the wit
ness, "I seed it with my own eyes,"
"That will do" said Squire Strong,
hastily, "you can step down." and, turn
ing to his associate, he added, "Id bet
ter have let him alone" The moral we
suppose is that there are times when it
is quite possible to draw out too much
information on a cross-examination.

ABombay dispatch gives the following de-
tails of the land slip at Naine-Tal, Bengal,
which resulted in the death of a number Of
British officers, soldiers and OF her persons:
Grain began falling heavily Friday, and poured
steadily until Saturday afternoon, when the
gauge showed a fall of twenty-five inches in
forty hours. AS IN effect of such an enormous
mass of water pouring Down into the confined
settlement, which is simply a basin formed by
a circle of hills, it can be imagined that all the
roads were cut to pieces. In the forenoon,
Saturday, it is rumored the Victoria Hotel was
in a dangerous state. The alarm was given to
the visitors in the hotel, who took shelter else
where before the building fell. About thirty
natives were buried in the ruins. The police
and a band of laborers and soldiers we're
quickly on the spot. About noon there was a
sudden roar and rumbling, followed by vast
clouds Of dust; and while the place shook the
lake rose in a moment far above its usual
height and swept in massive waves toward the
Weir, when an enormous land slip came down.,
burying the hotel and the band of rescuers with
the disastrous result already mentioned.

the MAINE ELECTION.
Democratic, then Republican and then
Democratic.
The Parties Take Turn-About at the wheel
Grinding Ont Majorities.

The later the returns the more complicated
the situation. The latest returns received at
Democratic headquarters from 1876 towns give
Plaisted 73,493; Davis, Is, 542. The towns to
hear from gave in 1879 a Fusion majority of
1877. The returns will give Plaisted q plurality
of 11S, If the towns to be heard from vote the
same Is last year. An Augusta dispatch Of
Sept. 10 says the election returns SO far give
Governor Davis a plurality of about two hun
dred votes. There are still several towns and
plantations to hear from, and there are some
discrepancies in the returns received by tele-
gaaph, which make it difficult to ascertain the
result Of elections. 1t is evident, however, that
the vote is close, and it is quite probable only
an official canvass Of the returns will decide
who is elected.
PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 21.-Returns from all
but ono town, Sheridan, are received, showing
o plurality of 179 for Davis, less 20, which
Sheridan gave the Fusionists last year. But
partial comparisons made with the returns
made to the Secretary Of State show errors
enough in the telegraphic returns to give o clear
plurality to Plaisted. The returns will have to
be compared with the returns to the Secretary
of State in order to establish their correctness.
Finding errors in the Geographic returns to
the net amount of two-thirds of 1 per cent.
copies of tho official returns have been carefully
footed and compared with the footings received
from Augusta. An error is found of 100 in the
footing-up of Penobscot County. The seven
lacking town are added, and the final result is:
Davis, 1850; Plaisted, 1854; Plaisted's plural
ity, TIA. The scattering were not on the sheets
received here, but the Augusta footing 475) is
probably correct. This result must be very nearly
correct, although some towns are still not Of
fetal, and the Democratic State Committee,
although their tables are not complete, agree
that they will come ont very near this. Although
these figures are from official returns, the official
canvass Of them is not made until the Legisln-
ture meets in January, and only that body
takes cognizance of errors in them. The
plurality Amendment is carried by q large
majority.
BosroN, September 21.-The Journal, of Au-
gusta, Maine, telegraphs as follows: "Our foot
ing by counties, gives Davis IS, $40; Plaisted,
1880; scattering, ATS; Davis over Plaisted,
100. There are seven towns, or plantations, to
hear from, besides the uncertainty about the
vote of towns yet to be received in determining
the result. There is possible and probable in
accuracy of some of the figures already given;
also questions about other inaccuracies which
appear in the returns, all of which, with the
close vote. render the result SO doubtful that
it can only be determined by the official canvass
OF returns at the opening of the Legislature. ~

Tho PrexaiIInr WAY.

" Henry Lindley, three years ago came into the
employ of Andrew Tiffany, a farmer residing
near Jonesville, Mich. Alice, a daughter of
Tiffany, was at that time fifteen years old. She
was secretly married to a mar who subsequent
ly became an innate of the Penitentiary.
Lindley became fondly attached to Alice, and
persisted in becoming her sutton. She repeat
eddy repealed him, but SO persistent was his
wooing that she at last almost yielded to his
pleading. She, however, asked to be released
for a few days to think the matter over, when
she would give him a final answer He gave
her the time requested. Upon the appointed
day he detected her penning a letter to her
convict husband protesting her eternal affec-
tons for him. He then demanded whether she
would marry him. She re~solutely answered
"no." Producing a revolver, he shot the girl
dead, and going to another room, blew his own
brains out.

Chinese Cruelty.

A large and heavy plank of wood
foated past Hankow; the people saw
that it had a most picturesque appear.
ance; a fair damsel of 10, we'll dressed,
was nailed on the plankiso that she could
move neither her hands nor feet. Beside
her was the head of a Buddhist priest;
attached on the right-hand side of the
plank some cakes and other eatables so
fixed that she could bend her neck and
eat them. and on the left 5000 copper
cash, and inscribed below was: "This
5000 cash is provided for her coffin when
she is dead" and a special inscription
was written above her head, whosoever
pities her and endeavors to save her life
they are guilty of "nGn to yu chong,"
which means, eff men save her they are
thieves, and if women a v her they are
DETAINED" The particulars are hat this
young damsel belonged to a wealthy fam
lily, and her two brothers are petty Man.
darins who, holding certain posts in small
yamans at a place about twenty miles
from Hankow, used this cruel treatment
because she was guilty of criminal inter-
course with the beheaded priest whose
head was on the plank with her. Some
report that she is saved, and others that
she is still floating on the Yangize River.

For Slim Peanle Only.

Bioomerism is being revived in the
Chateaux of Brittany. I have been shown
an invitation to a slender beauty to pass
q week in September in the woods of the
ne-et-Vilaine, in which she was requested
to try and get her luggage into a very
small space, as a great many guests was
expected, and there wa not room for
wagon loads of trunks. 1t was suggested
to bring a gray tweed suit, of which a
sketch was inclosed, for morning and
promenade wear. The suit was a gen.
tleman's, adopted to a sylph-like form.
A tailor's wife at Vitry made it. There
was no reason why another suit of the
kind might not be procured in Paris.
Stout ladies were not asked to don this
masculine habiliment by the chatelaine
who invented" it. But she hoped that
all her slender friends who did her the
honor to accept her invitation would
adopt it, and she believed it would be
found more becoming in excursions into
the woods and moors than draggled pet

They SAY.

That coquetry is acontinued lie, which
renders a woman more contemplate and
more dangerous than a courtesan who
lev lies.
That before promising a woman GLOVE
only her, one should have seen them all,
or see only her.
That real love has nc age; it is always
in birth.
That it is a terrible thing tobe obliged
to love by contract.
That one expresses well only to love
which is not felt.
That you can trust your dog to the
end; a woman-till the first opportunity.
That of all heavy bodies, the heaviest
is the woman that we have ceased to
love.
That a woman who pretends to laugh
at love, is like the child who sings at
night when he is afraid.
That rivals who blow out each others
brains for the eyes of any woman, prove
that they have no brains.
That love pleases more than marriage,
for the reason that romance is more
pleasing than history.
That the highest mark of esteem a wo-
mrn can give to a man is to ask his
friendship; and the most signal proof of
her Indifference is to offer him hers

from a cruise, report that on the 18th inst, in
latitude Al degrees 80 seconds north, and longi-
tude 81 degrees 80 seconds west, she fell in
with a schooner, bottom up. b schooner
was in the track of vessels bound for this port,
and it was decided to cut a hole in the head and
sink her. As the boat moved around the
schooner q man was discovered with q rope
around his neck. He was bloated with water
and his features decomposed. The efiuvia
from the vessel was SO noisome and overpower-
ing that the conclusion was come to that ita
crew were lying dead in her cabin. It is thought
probable that the vessel is the British schooner
Gladiator, which sailed from Barbados for
Yarmouth, N. s., some time ago.

there are not less than 1,s00 people actually
suffering for want of food. This suffering,
however, is not confined to Norton County
alone. Phillips, Sherman, Decatur, Sheridan,

or no crops at all, and the people are in abso-
lutte want. Meetings are now being held in
Iowa and Missouri to raise contributions in re-
sponse to the call for aid. This deplorable con-
dition in Kansas has been purposely kept quiet
