A large and heavy plank Of wood

that it had o most picturesque appear.
ance; fair damsel of 19, we'll dressed,
was nailed on the plank SO 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 special inscription
was written above her head, whosoever
pities her and endeavors to save her life
they are guilty Of 'tsaan to yu choag,"
which means, "If men save her they are
thieves, and if women save her they are
DETAINED" The particulars are that this
young damsel belonged to wealthy fam
lily, and her two brothers are petty Man,
darins who, holding certain posts in small
yamans at 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.

Educating Women.

Higher education among the middle
classes has, within the past few years,
wrought 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 it's
advantage over theory. Secure in the
possession of that power which has been
aphoristically identified with knowledge,
the true "girl of the period" regards as
useless and efete all questions as to her
intellectual equality with men. And we'll
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
ard chemistry, may smile at the old
fashioned prejudices which deny to
womankind any footing on the difficult
paths of science.-London Telegraph

THE MAINE ELECTION.
Democratic, then Republican and then
Democratic.


The later the returns the more complicated
the situation. The latest returns received at
Democratic headquarters from 1856 towns give
Plaisted 73, 493; Davis, "a $40. The towns to
hear from gave in 1879 Fusion ma iority of
167. The returns will give Plaisted plurality
same IS last year. An Augusta dispatch of
Sept f9 says the election returns SO far give
Governor Davis q plurality of about two hum
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 a. Returns from all
but one town, Sheridan are received, showing
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 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 telegraphic returns to
the net amount of two-thirds of per cent
copies Of the official returns have been carefully
footed and compared with the footings received
from Augusta An error is found of too ia the
footing-up OF Penobscot County. The seven
lacking town are added. and the final result is:
Davis 49, 640 Plaisted 73, S14; Plaisted's plural
ity, ia. 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 viii come out very near this. Although
these figures from official returns the official
canvass of them is not made until the Legisla-
ture meets in January, and only that body
takes cognlzance of errors in them. The
plurality Amendment is carried by large
majority.
BosroN, September 21.-The Journal, of Au-
grlsta, Maine, teiegraphs as follows: sour foot
ing by counties, gives Davis 73, 579; Plaisted,
73, $50: 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" +"

For Slim People Only.

Bloomerism is being revived in the
Chateaux of Brittany. I have been shown
an invitation to a slender beauty to pass
a week in September in the woods of the
ne-et-Vilaine, in which she was requested
to try and get her luggage into very
small space, as great many guests was
expected, and there was not room for
wagon loads of trunks 1t was suggested
to bring gray tweed suit, of which a
sketch was inclosed, for morning and
promenade wear. The suit was gen
tleman's, adopted to 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
