A TERRIBLE domestic tragedy re-
Gently occurred at small village called
Silverstreet, in Newberry County, N.
c. Mr.. w. Spearman, respectable
gentleman of means and well known as
a successful farmer. upon coming into
his house just before dark, found his
younger brother at the supper table.
a want to speak to you. brother" he
said, and simultaneously drew large,
sharp knife out of his sleeve. The
young man, not suspecting anything;
bent over, and the other made a strike
and cut his throat. severing the jugular
vein and causing almost instant death.
The slayer then rushed into the adjoin-
ing room, with the knife in his hand,
and sought his wife. He threw his arm
around her neck, likewise cutting her
throat. With blood stained hands he
then laid the keen blade to his own
throat and made an ugly cash four
inches long. When assistance came it
was found that the two men were dead
The wife shortly afterward expired.
MIR. Spearman was a sober man, and
was thought to be on the most affection
ate terms with his brother and wife.
The only rational hypothesisof the aw-
full deed is that Spearman was suffering
under temporary alteration.

The Education Of Women.

There is steady progress all over the
world in the recognition OF the claims
of women to the best educational facili-
ties. France has agricultural schools
for girls. One of the chief is near
Rouen, which is said to have been be-
gun with capital of one franc by a
Sister Of Charity and two little dis
charged prison-girls, and to be now
worth $165, 200. This establishment
has 800 girls. from six to eighteen. The
farm, entirely cultivated by them, is
over 400 acres in extent. Twenty-Five
Sisters form tho staff of teachers. More
than one medal of the French Agri-
cultural Society has been awarded to
this establishment at Darnetel, and the
pupils are in great demand all over
Normandy, on account of their skill.
They go out as stewards, gardeners,
farm managers, dairy women and
laundresses. Each girl has, on leav-
ing, an outfit and small sum of money,
earned in spare hours. If they want
home they can always return to OAR
netel, which they are taught to regard
as home. 1t is noteworthy, also, that
a woman has just been placed in an inn
portant educational position in France.
1t is Mile. Juliette Dodu, who has been
appointed by M. Jules Ferry delegate
general for the inspection of the schools
established for the reception of little
children. under six years of age. Mile.
Dodu last year received the ribbon of
the Legion of Honor for splendid COLI
duct during the war. In England many
women are now residing at Cambridge,
in attendance on lectures; and a me-
mortal addressed to the vice-chancellor
of the University of Cambridge, pray
ing that the Senate will grant to prop
erly qualified women the right Of ad-
mission to the examinations for uni
versity degrees. and to the degrees,
has been widely signed. In this coun-
try the number of colleges and uni
versities offering their lectures to women
is yearly increasing.-7he Independent.

eusation; Mr.. Donnelly asks the Committee
on Elections to order an investigation in
order to clear himself Of the charge that he

Home nud Women.
Wide Awake.

II ever there has been a more
touching and eloquent eulogium upor
the charms OF home, and its dearcs
treasure. woman, than is contained il
the following extract from the Chris
tan Inquirer, 1t has not been our good
fortune TO meet it:
"Our homes, what is their corner
store. but the virtue Of woman, and on
what does social well-being rest but
our homes2 Must we not trace all
other blessings Of civilized life to the
doors OF our private dwelling? Are
not hearth stones guarded, by the holy
forms of copjugal, fial, and parental
love, the corner stone Of church and
state; more sacred than either; more
necessary than boil? Let our temples
crumblc, and our academies decay; lei
every public ediGce, our halls Of justice
and our capitals Of state be lcvelled
with the dust; but spare our homes
Man did not invent, and cannot i'm.
prove or abrogate them. A private
shelter to cover in two hearts dearer
TO each other than all lhe world; high
walls to exclude the proianc eyes Of
every human being; scclusion enough
Of children to feel that mother is Il
holy and peculiar name-this is home.
and here:is the birthplace of every
yiatuous impulse, OF every sacred
thought. Here .lhc church and the
state must come for their origin aud
their support. Oh, spare our homcs!
The love We experience there gives us
our faith in an infinite goodness; the
purity and disintcrcstcd tenderness OF
home is our foretastc and our earnest
Of better world. In the relations
there established and fostered, do we
find through life the chief solace and
JOY Of existence. What friends deserve
the name compared with those whom
a birth right gave us. One mother is
worth a thousand fricnds-one sister
dcaycr and truer than twenty intimate
companions. We who have played CD
the same smile, who date back to the
same scene and season Of innocence
and hope, in whose veins runs the same
blood, do We not find that years only
make more sacred and important the
tic that binds US? Goodness may
spring up, distance may separate, differ
ent spheres may divide but those
Eho can love any thing, who continue
to love at all, must find that the
friends whom God himself gave, are
wholly unlike any We can choose for
ourselves, and that the ycarniug for
these is the strongest spark in our ex
piripg affection.
