The Woman and the Fossils.

The woman did not ask for co-educa-
.tion in Columbia College, and that seems
to be reason why she should have no
education in Columbia College at all.
She modestly asked to slide in at % side
door at stated times and in stated ways;
but that would necessitate new system
and new college, and they would cost
too much. IL she had wanted education
along with the man that would have been
an easy thing to refuse-for precisely
what reason nobody knows, since young
men and women and old men and women
do have TO associate, and there is really
no harm in the bare fact of association;
but that she should ask education in an
other shape is equally obiectable for very
Biblical proverb.
The colleges are managed by very old
men. They are men SO old that they
ought to be chalked on the back.as Noahs
or Morgan Dixes. No man or boy, no
the privilege of getting an education and
paying for it. The privilege ought to be
as free to one as another, as are town
pumps and summer showers. There are
men who argue that ordinary persons
point, lest they improve too much and
that is necessary to general comfort. Of
the same species of logic is ths PROPOSE
tion that men should be made wise and
women should bs kept ignorant. st.
Paul said o foolish thing as to women,
and Solomon, who respected women
merely as they oficiated as concubines,
was equally unjust to the sex; and this
foolishness and this injustice have come
down to the managers of colleges as q
sacred Inheritance, without shadow of
reason to make it sacred.
What better right has man than o
woman to be educated? The intellect of
the one is as good as that of the other,
and it has right to be as good. Edu-
cation is in the market, as are CONNER
cial and other advantages. There is a
law protecting the civil rights of negroes.
1t seems to be necessary to have law to
protect the civil rights of woman. A
man and woman have equal rights in
every grocery, every dry goods store,
every place of amusement, every hotel,
SO long as they pay equal money; but
they attempt to buy an education and
the fossils of the college say that the
j mans money IS good, but the Woman's IS
fnot.
Can anybody imagine anything more
unjust than this? Is it political or COM
mercial or social fair play? What busi-
ness have the trustees of college to say
that this person shall have an education
and that one shall not? What business
have they to talk of the danger of inter
course between young men and women
who seek the advantages of their institn-
tions and are willing to pay for them,
any more than they have to talk of the
danger of the intercourse that attends
the party, the ball. and the more social
gathering?
| Women ask to be admitted to the Co.
lumbia College. and the privilege is re-
fused them! This will seem as strange
in 1900 as the fact that this country once
had slavery seems strange to US of the
present period.-N. Y. Graphic

Ell Perkins ON Buying Diamonds In
New York.

Since they have discovered diamonds
in Africa, they are getting too common
on Fifth avenue to be noticed. One
young lady, reported to be young and
handsome, wears finger ring diamonds
in her hair A Chicago lady. staying at
the Fifth avenue, alleged to have lived
with her present husband two weeks
without getting divorce, wears diamond
dress buttons; and even one of the col

went into Tiffany's great iewelry store

the best, Mr.. Tiffany" she said; 'please
show me some of them"
Here is nice solitaire" answered
the silver-haired diamond prince; s'how
do You like it?"
iPretty well." said the lady, revolving
it in her fingers. 1t shines we'll; but
are you sure it is solitaire, Mr.. Tifany?'
"Why, of course, madame"

be real solitaire" smilingly replied
Mr.. Tiffany, and then the head of the
house went up to his private Office, and
in the presence of four hundred clerks
sat down and wrote out his official guar
antee that the diamond named was O
genuine solitaire. As the lady bore the
certificate from the big iewelry palace,
she observed to herself: There's moth
ing like knowing you've got the real
genuine thing. It's really so satisfyin'
to be surep
But that evening her fiendish hus-
band refused to buy the diamonds. and
then this beautiful woman" said Mr..
Tiffany, .sall dressed up in silks and
laces, and garnet earrings cut on bias,
sat down in the hotel parlor and had to
refuse to go to the party at Mrs. Wither-
inton's because her jewels did not match
her polonaisel'
"Oh, dear!' said the great jeweler, and
in the fullness of his grief he poured a
coal scuttle into caseful of diamonds
and watches and silver spoons, and a
basketful of diamonds and pearls and
garnets into the coal stove.

SOLITUDE.
Fila WHEELER.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer.
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to q joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice and men viii seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and co.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.

For large and lordly train,
But one by one we rnust all file on

why he Married Her.

In the forthcoming fascinating bio
graphy of the heroic Lord Lawrence
there is, among many anecdotes, one
eminently characteristic of the man, who
was as strong in his affection as in his
will. He was one evening sitting in his
drawing room at Southgate, with his
sister and other members of the family.
AL were engaged in reading. Looking
up from his book, in which he had been
engrossed, he discovered that his wife
had left the room.
where's mothers" said he to one of
his daughters.
"She's upstairs" replied the girl.
He returned to his book, and, looking
up again few minutes later, put the
same question to his daughter and re-
ceived the same answer. Once more he
returned to his reading and once more
he looked up with the same question.
His sister broke in:
why, really, John, it would aeem as
if you could not get on for five minutes
without your wife"
That's why I married her," he re-
piled.

The Yankton Press and DdkotGiGn OF q
recent issue, says: According to the
latest rumors railroad building in Dakota
during the coming year will receive an
impetus never experienced in the territory.
The Northwestern will, il is said, build
from Redfeld through to the Missouri,
crossing tho river about fifty miles north
of Pierre. The present Missouri division
is to be connected with thu projected line
from Redfeld at Harold. Il is further
stated that this company will take posses
sion OF the James River Valley road upon
its completion. This, rumor has it,
is violation of the re-
cent contract made between the
Northwestern, st. Paul and North Pacific
roads not to invade one enother's territory,
and the two latter roads will begin eZtoDd
ing their lines in Dakota as soon as this
move is made by the Northwestern. The
St. Paul will push line to the Missouri
west from Aberdeen, and will also build
along the river, connecting Chamberlain
with Bismarck. The North Pacific will, it
is further said, build south from Tower
City. passing through some of the best
territory of its southern competitors"

Or They VIII be DISfranchtsed Election
Day-A Pertinent Letter.
To the Editor of the Globe.
ST. PAUL, Oct. IS, 1883.-It seems to me
to be necessary to call the attention of the
electors of this city to the fact that if they
wish to vote on Nov. 6, they must Gbso-
luteIy be registered. Our election law, as
amended last winter, practically does
away, in many cases, with the effect Tin
tended by the previous law Of afidavits.
The amendment reads:
''No vote shall be received at any general or
special election, if the name OF the person offer
ing to vote, and his place of residence clearly
and definitely stated, be not said register as
finally completed and certified to by the board
of registry above provided, unless the person
Offering to asste be personally kno1cn to at least
~ Of the judges of election, and Wnless such
person shall furnish to the judges the same a6i1a-
uts and evidence thGt he is entitled to Uote as is
required By this act Of q person echose vote is
challenged
1t Will be readily seen that in many cases
of non registered but otherwise qualified
voters, the fact that neither of the judges
personally knows the person TO be i voter
of tbs precinct in which he offers his vote
will for this election disfrauchise him.
In our rapidly growing city it is practi-
cally i'm possible to select three judges who
combined may know all thu voters Of their
precincts. The lists as now made are tax
en- from the final poll books OF last springs
election, and as there was then no contest
in the odd numbered aldermanic districts
the vote in such districts wss very light.
For instance: First district Third ward,
with o full vote OF at least 900 cast but 1876,
anu the third district Of the Fourth ward
with a full vote of at least 700 cast but 178.
The same proportion is found in ell odd
numbered districts. Ia ths two distri cts
mentioned there are over 700 voters in one
and over 500 voters in the other, who are
not registered. Yours respectfully,

next two weeks they will hold several re-
hearsais, the first of which will take place
Monday afternoon at 80 o'clock, al the

a pay class and the other free class, the
number of each class to be limited to
tsenty to twenty-five pupils. The ladies
are quite enthusiastic in regard to the
work, and without doubt will succeed in

tenn upon many whose after lives will be
rendered more nseful to themselves and to
society
