the more to he regretted because the rccur-
renee Of destructive floods this year renders
it more than ever imperative that something
should be done to guard against such disas-
tors in the future. Yet it clearly would be
worse than folly to 60 on with the ezpendi-
ture of millions in the construction Ioyees
which are liable to be swept away by some
unexpected outbreak OF the waters or ron
dered useless by some sudden detection Of
the current. The money had much bet
ter be set apart as a permanent relief
fund for the benefit of the inhabitants Of
the districts liable to iuundaton and the
Mississippi be permitted, as hitherto, TO
follow its own inclinations. What Congress
ought to do, under the circumstances, is
evidently to appropriate sufficient money to
thoroughly test the feasibility Of the pro-
posed plan for conGning the waters Of the
Mississippi in fixed channel without in
any way committing the Government to the
execution of the plan in its entirety. The
science of modern engineering is well nigh
infinite in its resources, but it essays q
herculean task when it attempts to curb
the Father of Waters.
The National tribune., 1883-03-01
Science versus Nature.

The report of the select committee on
the improvement Of the Mississippi, which
has just been submitted to the House,
is calculated TO shake public confidence
in the practicability of controlling its way
ward waters by artificial means. The
principal obstacle seems to be the i'm
possibility Of erecting works Of sufficient
stability to withstand the force of the cur
rent when the river is swollen by floods, and
Of anticipating the changes chat are con-
stantly taking place in its course and direc-
ton. The channel is constantly shifting,
and points that one year seem perfectly
secure may be exposed the next to the full
force Of the torrent. To carry out the work
Of improving the river ON the plan contem-
plated by the commission will involve the
expenditure Of perhaps fifty or one hundred
millions Of dollars with no certainty that it
viii accomplish the desired object. The
amount so far appropriated for the purpose
is about five millions of dollars, which has
been devoted mainly to the construction of
works at "Plum Point" and Lake Proyi-
dence," and although the appropriation is
nearly exhausted the committee report that
the improvement can be regarded as but
fairly inaugurated. This is certainly any
thing but a satisfactory outlook, and it is

always so apparent it is because it is az
rested in course Of development Thus, our
boys are educated with a view to becoming
lawyers, or doctors, or artists, or musicians
or artisans for the professions or trades, as
the case may he, while cur girls are educated
as rule without any special object in view
The acquisition Of a few polite accomplish
ments is all that is generally expected or
desired. This Of itself would be sufficient
to account for the rarity ofwomans appear
auca in the field of ofproteesiouaI pursuits.
Butit is nevertheless a fact that there are
few branches of human industry and skill
in which women have not OF some time or
other distinguished themselves, and the evil
dencc is abundant that woman's sphere, so
far as ability and opportunity go, has been
pretty much what she has chosen to make
it, Nor would we have if otherwise. 1t Is
true that there is no object wortbicr of a
woman's ambition than that of erecting on a
foundation of love and affection secure and
happy home, and that the duties and ol,liga-
tions Of maternity transcend all others in
Importance, but wifehood and motherhood
are not possible for all women, and there
are thousands with whom the naked ques-
ton Of brcad-winuiDg is paramount to au
others. For them the phrase woman's
sphere" has very different meaning from
that ordinarily attributed to it. Itmay en-
brace any Of the arts or sciences, the
crafts or trades. The factory, the count
iug-room, the shop-counter, the school
house the studio, the bar the clinic
all the occupations and professions which
constitute mans "pcculiar" sphere may of
necessity become a womaD's. To shut her
out from any Of these is not simply to take
an unfair advantage of the sex, but to sin
against humanity The elevation of woman
as a factor Of civilization is synonymous
with the elevation of the human race, and
jhc idea that hers is in some sense the in
ferior sex is a survival of the barbarism and
i2uaracc of past ages. The propriety of en-
dowiDg her with the ballot is but a side
issue in this great question of womans
rights.

Wnnnn's Sphere.

Precisely what woman's sphere is will
doubtless never be determined to uniyer-
sal satisfaction, and for the very good reason
that there is quite as much individuality
about one sex as the other. To remand wo-
man to the kitchen or the parlor as the only
suitable place for the exercise of her activities
is as unreasonable rs TO demand that she
forsabe all domestic duties and address her
self to the business of reforming our politics.
The truth is that woman's sphere is simply
that for which her individual disposition
and ability fit her, and can no more be COM
passed by q sweeping generalization than
that of man. There is as much variation of
talent and temperament in one sex as the
other, and if the NATURALIZATION is not

IN RESPONSE to numerous requests we
print, this week, number of extracts from
the testimony of witnesses examined by the
investigating committee of the FOrtieth Con-
gress concerning the conduct of the rebel
prison, Camp Ford" at Tyler, Texas The
sufferings experienced by the Union soldiers
at this prison were less poignant, perhaps,
than those which the inmates Of Anderson
vile were compelled to endure, but the
difference was only one of degree not of
kind. There, rs at AndersonviIIe, the rations
were Of the most scanty and unnutritious
character The sick were treated with the
most cruel neglect Blood-hOuuds were
employed to hunt down escaped prisoners.
and the guards displayed tendish delight
in shooting down their captives at the
slightest provocation. For all this there
was perhaps less excuse even than at Ander-
sOnyille. Camp Ford was located in a rich
agricultural and grazing country. Indeed,
the supplies of the rebel armies were drawn
very largely from that section, and an
abundance of wholesome food could have
been obtained by the prison authorities had
they chosen to procure it. The starvation
of their prisoners was premeditated and
intentional, and it is explainabIe only on
the theory that it was the policy of the
Confederate government to reduce as far as
possible in this way the fighting strength of
the Union forces. They hoped, indeed, by
pursuing this course to force the Federal
Government into consenting to a wholesale
exchange Of prisoners on their own terms
and thus secure the means of replenishing
their own exhausted armies, and it is one of
the strongest claims which our ex-prisoners
have upon the consideration of Congress
that their sacrifices hastened the overthrow
of the rebellion.
The National tribune., 1883-03-01

is that had the same careful regard been
manifested for the interests of our cz-sol-
Iiers that was displayed by the Government
IN its treatment of the bondhoIders, q ~uGi-
cicnt clerical force would long ago have been
employed in the Pension Bureau to have
disposed orits business without any uunec-
az=ary delay, and had this been done the
present senseicss hue and cry against the
cost of pensions would probably never have
been raised.
