Higher Education for women.

New YORK Herald.
The suggestion of President Barnard, of
Columbia College, that women should be
admitted to its halls on the same footing us
male students, 1t is to be hoped, will be
adopted. Harvard has, in a measure, paved
the way for radical reform of this kind
but it has done IL in a half-hearted kind of
way. In the matter of education men and
women should stand upon an equality. As
our colleges and universities, and In fact
our whole social system, are at present con-
stitutcd, women arc deprived ofeducational
advantages that are freely given to the
other sex. There is not single obstacle
interp0sed in the way Of the boys, but
mountains of obstacles are raised against
the girls. What the female sex has won in
the way of progress and advancement
has been achieved in the face of the gravest
discouragements. They have been com
PEELED to fight their way into medicine and
law, and, in fact, into every walk Of life
which promises the least emolument. The
time has come to give them fair chance,
and when the president of so old and vener-
able an institution as Columbia College ad-
vocates the throwing down of the barriers
against them the day. of their disenthral-
ment connOt be far distant.

Attempted Suicide In q Baltimore
Beer Garden,

Joseph Hartman, aged 35 years, at
tempted suicide yesterday morning in
Rost's Garden by drinking an ounce of
laudanum. He obtained the poison at a
drug store by saying that he was sent for
1t by Mrs. Langman, who wished it for a
sick cow. Not long after he was found
lying in Rost's Garden in comatose state,
but those seeing him thought him under
the influence of liquor. SO, for three
hours he lay there until Sergeant Carroll
found him. DR.. Rutledge was called in
and pronounced the mans condition criti-
cal, and at once had him sent to the City
Hospital Late last night he was not ex-
pected to live. He is unmarried, and has
been In the employ of Mrs. Langman for
ten years. On account of his habits his
family would have nothing to do with
him, and this, it is thought, preyed on his
mind and caused him to attempt suicide.
His father is a shoemaker, living on Bel
air avenue.

THE THREE-sIXTY-FIVEs.
Important Decision by the First Comp
trOller.

trOller.
In the matter of the payment of the in
terest on the three sixty. five bonds of the
District of Columbia, which Is by law d.
vlded between the funds of the U. 8.
Treasury, not otherwise appropriated, and
the resources of the District, Judge Law
renee has to-day rendered. decision. A
question had arisen, whether, under act of
Congress,in case of the insufliclency of the
annual appropriation by reason of the
temporary increase of bonds under act of
June 1G, 1880, as is now the case, there is
permanent appropriation made of the
revenues of the District of Columbia to
pay all the interest. In the decision 1t is
presumed that Congress would not make
inadequate provision for such an emer-
gency, and therefore it is held that the stat
utes do make a permanent appropriation
for payment of the entire interest from the
funds of the District. Judge Lawrence
holds that the only effect of the annual
appropriation made by Congress is to limit
the liability of the United States as to
payments from the National Treasury to
one-half the sum so appropriated. This
construction secures the payment of the
interest always, either under the annual
appropriations, or, in case these prove in
sufficient, then from the revenues of the
District.
