Struck Oil.

Detroit Free Press,
1t was Woodward avenue car. A
lady richly dressed sat in corner of the
car and said to some one with her:
II smell kerosene OIL"
$50 do |" answered her friend.
One after another got into the car,
and the lady in the corner shifted sus
piciously, and at last fixed her eyes upon
quiet-Iooking little man near the door.
Il believe he's got the oil, " she said
in a stage whisper to her friend.
81 know it, replied the friend. There
ought TO be a law against carrying kero-
sene in the street cars. Such an odorn'
and she glared at the little man.
81 shall inform the superintendent"
said the first lady aloud.
II shall inform the president of the
road" said her friend, with fixed and
CLASSY stare.
Ladies" said the little man, cheer
fully, "hadn't you better move on? The
kerosene from that lamp in the corner
of the car has been dripping on we ever
since we started, but SEEM We both know

Stock-Gaps-The Railroads VII
Continue to Keep Them Up.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 10, 1881.
Editor Meridian Observer:
There is great misunderstanding as
to stock gaps. Chief Engineer Bous-
caren has not issued any general order
on the subject The only order was one
referring to particular case, in which
litigation was forced upon the company
in spite of legal decision in company's
favor. have no intention whatever to
make general new departure, and stock
gaps shall be maintained as in the past.
JOIN SCoTT.
The above explains itself 1t will be
seen that the newspapers which started
the story did so on a single isolated case,
which President Scott says grew out of
a case of litigation. 1t is gratifying to
have the assurance that there is to he
no new departure, but that the roads
will keep up the stock gaps as usual.
We see no necessity of anybody tearing
his hair about this matter. This is a
country of law, and we all have to abide
by the law whether we like it or not.
The constantly recurring differences
between the public and the railroads
will have to be settled as other differ
ences are. In the meantime it should
be remembered that we can't get along
without the railroads.-Observer.

CORSETS.

We have obtained the Agency for this
City of DR.. Warmers Celebrated Corsets,
and will hereafter keep in stock the fol-
lowing noted brands:
"Coraline, " " Nursing, Health, "
q Abdominal, " and Flexible Hip"
Prices are sl.Oo, $3.50 and $500.
Misses SOC.
These Corsets have a world wide rep
utation. Made of caustic fully boned
with Coraline, which is superior to horn
or whalebone. In place of the usual
finish each Corset is srEAM-MoULDED,
giving to it beauty of outline and ell
eganee of style superior to the finest i'm,
ported goods. 1t gives to the wearer
ease, comfort and perfection of form
not obtained in the ordinary Corset.
This Corset is the best value for the
price ever offered in the United States.
SATISFACTION GUARANTEED.
Warner Bro 5, the makers of these
Cersets, are comparatively new firm
but so rapid has been the increased sales
on their goods, that they now rank as
the largest CORSET MANUFACTURERS in
the United States, if not in the world
It is all due to the CoRALISE with
which these Corsets are boned that
make them 50 celebrated.

Education-Ths Demand of
the Age.
Extracts from paper by DR.. Raymond,
President of Vassar College.

[ Extracts from paper by DR.. Raymond,
President of Vassar College.
When Mrs. Willard, the venerable
pioneer of improved education for wo-
man, while appealing for aid to the Leg
islature of New York in 1920, urged her
plea on the ground that woman was con-
stitutionally capt to teach, and might,
with suitable training for herself become
qualified to replace men to some extent
in the system of popular instruction,
there were few to whom her views did
not appear chimerical.
But is it not high time to inquire, now
that, to so great an extent women have
become the instructors of the people,
not merely in primary and grammar
schools, but in academies and seminaries
also-is it not time to inquire into the
character of the preliminary training,
the amount and style of the culture
which our female teachers bring to the
work. / do not hesitate to avow the
belief that the education of the nation is
to-day emaseulate and weak, compared
with what it might easily be made by
simply raising the qualifications of its
female instructors; and this from no
want of real or native capacity in them,
but solely from their want of opportu-
mites for obtaining breadth, fullness,
and thoroughaess of culture.
Teachers Institutes do next to moth
ing to supply this lack. Normal
schools cannot fully remedy the evil,
unless you expand your Normal schools
into colleges Nothing will reach it
but adding ta the valuable agencies al
ready at work for the training of teach
ers, the means Of liberal culture for the
highest grade; and by alternating the
character of the women-instructors
alone, might raise the standard of the
national intelligence, a hundred per
cent. in generation.
Let him that hath ears to hear, hear
the voice of God Summoning woman to
"come up higher" and calling upon a,
to prepare steps for her ascent. And
here there would seem abundant causes
for dependency.
Every thing is to be done, and no one
appears to feel fully the Importance of
doing it. But there is no room for de-
spondsnoy in the work of God. If this
| Is not His work, let it come to nought
IF it be, He viii provide and have His
instruments ready as fast as he needs te
use them.
The college that PROCESSES to do the
work Of college for women, whether
separately or in connection with tbs
other sex, stands engaged to establies
and maintain. first, a course of tru :
| liberal education, and second, a plan
adapted to the circumstances and pecu.
| liar needs Of women; and it should be
held by public sentiment to both parts
81 the obligation. This viii be found Il
| involve the necessity Of chairs Of ii
strnction not called for il the ordinars
colleges for men only, together with {
peculiar personal, social and domestic
/ regimen, adapted to the care and com
fort Of young women away from theil
parents home And this brings is (
the one universal desideTatnm for 1T
! timing any earthly go0d-m9neg-
oumeats special endonments for ii,
! liberal education Of women.

The Power Behind the Throne.

Vicksburg Post.
Our morning contemporary has an en-
terprising correspondent at Jackson, who
not only finds time to write up the news,
but assist tae Speaker of the House in
the formation of his committees. We
have not seen his handiwork in any of
President pro tenn Reynolds's com mittees
as yet, but no doubt the able correspon-
dent will also be willing to give Mr.. Rey-
nolds little advice and assistance in per
forming the arduous duties of his official
position. And if the Governor should
need few pointers" we expect the
aforesaid correspondent will he equal to
the emergency, and willgive his valuable
assistance in guiding the ship of State. .
What a pity the Herald had not sent
this correspondent to Washington he
might have obviated all the difficulty
that Speaker Carlisle had in selecting
his COMMITTEES, and there might not now
be such dissatisfaction over some of the
important ones.
