The Two Breckinridges.
IEorneYis Propress.l

The appearance of Rev. DR.. r. /. Brock
inridge, as he advanced to take his post as
temporary chairman of the Union National
Convention, at Baltimore, on the It'll of June,
1864, was most impressive. There stood one
of the historical characters of the age-s
spotless divine, self-sacriicing idealist, an
unselfsh patriot-one across whose eventful
path not q single doubt as to his sincerity had
ever thrown a shadow, and whose lofty moral
integrity had never been questioned either by
the enemies of his church or the advocates of
slavery. What he aaid before the Conven-
ton has been widely and proftably read.
But how he said it could not be painted or
printed. First of all was the evidence, not
necessary to be made clear to those who sat
in rapt attention under his utterances. of the
perfect unpreparedness of his speech. The
shorthand reporters took it down as it fell
from his lips, and then carried it to Wash
ington by the evening train, and wrote it out
for the Daily Chronicle (my Washington
daily paper, in which it was published next
morning without the slightest revision by
the reverend author. And assert that never
has any production been more logically or
rhetorieally exact. The voice of DIR. Breck-
inridge is weak although he is not yet sixty
FIVE, but his manner could not be more grace
full. Every word dropped from his
lips ike coins of gold--clear cut bright,
and beautiful, and all his sentences were be-
gun and closed with higher than artistic
skill. A few instances will suffice to prove
this last assertion. Here is one: "You have
to organize this party thoroughly through
out the United States You have to put it
into form, in whatever form your judgment
may suggest, that viii contribute all that
wisdom. backed by energy and a most deter
mined effort, can produce to gain the victory
which have already said was in our power.
More than that, you have TO lay down with
clearness and precision the principles upon
which you will carry on this great political
contest, and prosecute the war, which is un-
derneath them, and the glory of the country
which lies before us if we succeed. Plainly,
not in double sense. but briefly, with the
dignity and precision of great people, utter
ing by its representatives the political prin-
ciples by which they intend to live, and for
the sake of which they intend to die, so that
all men everywhere may understand precise
ly what we mean; to run your fIirrow so
deeply and so clearly that, while every man
who Is worthy to associate with freemen may
see l. and pass over it to us, every man who is
unworthy may be either unable to pass or

CONCERNING WOMEN.

In Paris about fifty French women are
studying medicine.
At Smith College the lady teachers are not
called professors" as the men teachers are,
but simply 'teaehers."
Caroline f. Hastings. NJ. d., for the past
seven wears lecturer and demOnstrator 10 the
school of medicine, Boston University, has
been appointed to the full professorship OF

By an unanimous vote the trustees of Han
over College, the oldest in the State of Indi-
ana have Just decided to admit young wO-
men on the same terms as young men. The
institution is under Presbyterian control, and
it is nearly the last of the fifteen Protestant
Colleges of the State to accept co-edueation.
The woman evangelist Mrs IAN Colt, has
travelled a distance of 143,417 miles during
the fourteen years of her ministry; has
preached 4,294 sermons, besides conducting
1888 other religious meetings, and writing
1858 letters. The strain of so much work
has, however, proved too great for her at last
Her nervous system has received repeated
shocks. and she retires from the field prob
ably forever.
Il is a sad and pitiful sight, exclaims NJ.
Labouchere, to see a woman clinging to her
lost youth by such sorry devices as lalse
'fronts," and youthful gowns, and kittenish
ways How useless it isl How much better
to realize honestly and frankly that youth
that glorious, happy, aeeting gift of the gods
has gone forever, and to turn firmly from
it and look for the beautiful things that are
left in life. Here is one who has done so,
and in her calm eyes and gentle mein there
is nothing that is unlovely, though, perhaps,
little that is sad. Her old age viii be beau
tiful, indeed.
A foreigner, who has been a resi-
dent in this country for three years,
said to me some time since that he found
culture more general among women than
among men here. Reading and hearing so
much, as one does, about the neglect of fe-
male education, his remark surprised me,
but on second thought see much truth in
1t. While it is true collegiate education is
rarer among women than men, it is equally
true that the pursuits of the average man
are in direct opposition to the requirement
of culture, while his daughter or wife has
generally greater opportunity for the i'm
provement which is the result of reading.
And though trashy" novels are often the
sole food of female minds, yet even they con-
tain some elements that are beneticial.-FOr-

Higher Education Advancing.

ltentral Inrlstlan ADVOCATE.
The catalogues of our educational institu-
tiOns for this year show wonderful gain in
the higher education OF women. Not only
do we find larger number of women in the
college and sub-freshman classes, but the pro-
portion Of women is steadily gaining, and
they are apparently carrying off more than
their proportionate share of the honors. 1t
will hardly be doubted that such an announce
ment affords matter for congratulation. Our
women-girls, perhaps, we ought to say
are evidently in earnest about education; and
the boys and young men are quietly taught,
in the only way they ever could have been
convinced, that college education is about tax
ing on new life, and possibly may become a
more serious affair than it has been. For the
women now entering the colleges are of the
best class, of superior natural abilities and
aspirations for a larger life, and in most cases
for sphere Of greater usefulness. What
may be the outcome of all this we do not
pretend to know, yet we have quite stable
faith that education is among the most desir-
able possessions. There are in some quarters
suggestions of evil, of possible revolution
that may deeply affect our social life. How
it would turn out, If the women become bet
ter educated than the men, is matter of
serious thought with some people. Our own
faith is that if the women get fairly ahead,
as it seems likely, their sympathies and finer
moral sense will lead them to deal justly and
charitably with those whom they have out
stripped in the race.

What To Do.

Referring to the pending political can
vass. Lille Deveraux Blake, President of
the New York Woman's Suffrage Associa-
ton, says in the Woman's Journal; at
seems to me that in the coming campaigns
woman suffragists, as body, can not advo.
cate either party. General Garfield told
Miss Anthony, in a recent Interview in his
own home, that he was not in favor of our
cause, and last spring he said to Mrs. Spencer.
who is a near Reighbor, that he was so much
opposed to woman suffrage, that he intend
ed, when he had leisure, to write pamphlet
giving his reasons against it. 1t is true that
he voted in favor of the bin giving Mrs.
Lockwood the right to practice before the
Supreme Court, but he did not do this, as he
explained to Mrs Lockwood, because he fav-
ored woman suffrage, but because he was OPP
posed to any restriction of the rights of any
individual to earn his or her own living.
General Hancock has not yet been heard
from, but it is not probable that he will
avow himself friendly to our cause.
"Under these circumstances, it appears to
me that in regard to the general question
between the two parties, each woman has a
right to be gaided by her political prefer
ences, while in localmatters l earnestly hope
that woman sufragists everywhere, both
men and women, win do their best to defeat
those candidates for Office who are opposed
to the reform. and to elect those who are fay
orable to it, without regard TO party"

/ shall never forget my last interview
with John @. Breckenridge. 1t was on the
evening of the 9th of August, 1861, being
the last day of the memorable called session
which was assembled on the 4th day of July
of that year, by Presidential proclamation.
Widely as we had differed. or personal rela-
tons were unchanged. He knew how sin
cerely grleved l was, when, as early as 1858,
he allowed Mr.. Buchanan and the extreme
South to force him into the support of
Lecompton, and how reluctantly, in the
black and bitter years that succeeded, felt
constrained to denounce him. In the called
session he had led the opposition to Mr.. Lin
coin with vehement unjust, and unsparing
ability. And now he was going to Ken
lucky. "Goodby," he said, "goodby." "No,"
said, "not 'goodby,' Breckenridge, but
farewell. You will never again take your
seat in the United States Senate" He SEEM
ed to be surprised as he said: "What do you
mean? l will undoubtedly return to my
post in December" mo, nv dear John,
YOU will follow your doctrine into the Con-
federate army; YOU will 90 there to show
that you are with the enemies Of
your country" To which he answered
and when he spoke the words think he was
honest: aft go over the lines it will be TO
bring back my runaway son, Cabell, who
has gone into the other army wholly against
my will; but we shall meet if we
live, in the winter" II wish it could be so,
my friend" was my reply, " but still I feel
that your goodby will be long farewell"
And this was the last of John G. Breckln-
ridge in Congress.

But met John G. Breckenridge in 1867 in
Paris and found man much changed and
very respondent. Mr., Greeley had just written
him kind letter, cheering him in his gloom,
and advising his return to his country. All
bis old loye of the Union had returned. Sc
cession was as dead, in his opinion, as the
dead Pharaohs, and what his great uncle
said in Baltimore, in 1864, was his creed, as
it is to-day.
