SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Recent accurate dwellings confirm
the conclusion advanced by Mons.
Bourdalieu in 1864, that the average
level of the Mediterranean is about
twenty-eight inches lower than that
of the Atlantic.
Some of the mines from which the
inhabitants of England in the stone

1890 years.

of the fact.
Dr.Monkman has shown that a light

Mons. Erickson, of Copenhagen, has

Bosh About Freedom.
Laramie Boomerang.l

There is an immense amount of cfferves-
cent talk and writing about free men all over
the world, but especially in this country, and
yet most Of 1t is the merest bosh. Where can
you find free mans Who in this world is
freea It may be possible to give salts
factory answers to each Of these questions, but
it does not look that way. We are all slaves;
not alone slaves to our passions, our affec-
tons and our duties, but slaves in another
sense We are not and cannot be our own
masters. Turn which way we will, we are
confronted by a barrier of some kind that
compels us to defect from our chosen path; it
may be law, 1t may be custom, it may be the
fear of the wagging of censorious tongues, or
it may be any one of a hundred other causes,
but the fact still sxists that absolute freedom
of action is unknown and impossible.

The Better Way for Cabbage.

AS many persons are very fond Of cabbage
who cannot digest them cooked in the ordin-
airy way, will give the way in which they
meet with the most favor upon our table:
Boil q firm head of cabbage, and when half
done drain off the water and pour on more
from the boiling tea-kettle and slightly salt
it. When tender, set aside until thoroughly
cold; chop up fine, and add one-half teaspoon
full butter, pepper, two eggs, well beaten.
Mix all well together, and bake until brown
in a pudding dish. Serve hot.

almost none of it.

Madelia Times: "The fact that the
river is so low at Minneapolis that only
a part of the mills can be furnished with
power is an evidence that this was fore
seen by the water power company and
the effort made to get the government to
appropriate money for building dams
ON the sources of the river forming res
ervoirs to hold the water back. This
was done with pretense of aiding nav
igation, which is all bosh. 1t is purely
for the benefit of that water power COM
pany, which charges high for the power
used, and not another dollar of govern
ment money should go into those reser-
voir operations. Let the power company
pay their own expenses, both for build
ing and sustaining dams, and for all
damage caused by iowage. Too much
public money has already been expended
by government in work at the falls, and
it should be stopped"

Redwood Gazette: The man that
receives by far the most general rec
ogniton as a fit candidate is ex-Gov.
c. X. Davis. A looker.on in State
politics reminds us that aside from
being one of the brainiest men in the
State ''Cush' Davis is on record as an
mtiring advocate of the rights
of the people in their relation to great
corporations. Some years ago Ire lee
tured on the railroad problem, his
lecture having the significant title OF
':Modern Feudalism." The transport
tation question is coming forward as
one of the great national political is
sues, and our millionaire Senators are
not to be relied on for wise legislation
to restrain the modern feudal railroad
barons. BY all means let Minnesota
send Senator in sympathy with the
masses of it's citizens, and with a
tongue in his head to contend for
their rights in the national councils.

Chicago Inter Ocean, Jay Could.
either directly or Indirectly, has built
twice as many miles of railroad in
the last ten years as any other citizen.
His millions have not lain idle. They
have gone with those of others he
could influence, largely for the devel-
opment of the country. BY his gen.
ious for combination dead properties
have been given life, and the railroad
facilities of the Southwest doubled if
not quadrupled. That he has been
selfish in this is not denied, but never
theless he has laid the country under
obligation. 1t is peculiar fact that
nearly all Mr.. Gould's railway enter
prises have been Western; and init
mately associated with the devel-
ment of the country. In all
cases his effort has been to build both
for the benefit of the stockholders
and the people. There has been in
his railway management none of the
niggardliness attributed to Mr.. Van
derbilt. The operatives of his roads
have been as fairly paid as those of
any other roads, and he has never in
his management shown disposition
to forget that the object Of railroads
is the accommodation of the public.

The Current: Our government has
patented 45,000,000 acres of the public
lands to certain railroad companies,
and double that acreage is condition
ally pledged to various companies.
The cutlery against the donations of
public lands to railroad companies is
irrational, for the country has certain
ly not suffered by such liberality.
Great and indispensable highways
have been opened across the continent,
and vast area of land Contiguous has
been brought under cultivation, while
towns and cities have sprung up, ro-
bustly increasing the trade of the
country. Severe criticism of the
policy of land grants is justifable in
cases where a purely paper and intan-
gible railroad company holds grant
without complying with the condi-
tions of the donation.

A State Female College.

Aberdeen Examiner
We heartily endorse the views en-
pressed by Mrs. Annie G. Peyton, of
Hazlehurst, in communication pub
lished in Tue CLARION of the 9th inst,
in advocacy of State Female College.
We have ever since the war been sta =
wart advocate of the policy of extend.
ing equal facilities 20 the races who dwell
side by side in Mississippi, in all matters
pertaining to educational advancement
and demanded for them both free schools
separate of course from the first
Legislature that assembled at Jack
son after the surrender, and now that
our girls appeal to the law makers for
such higher educational provision as has
been long accorded to the boys, we hope
the Legisla ure will grantit We can
not see why the boys of Mississip ii
should be given free collegiate advan
ges at public expense, while the girls
who aspire to mount beyond the rudi-
ments are forced to pay their own way
up the higher rounds,
To be sure the doors Of the State Uni
versity and Agricultural College have by
action of their trustees been thrown
open to girls, but then many parents are
averse to the system of "co-education of
the sexes" and in addition to this obiec.
lion it must be apparent to all that the
course of study and school regimen best
suited to the young men who attend the
university is not exactly adapted to the
other sex, and, in the language of Mrs.
Peyton, sit does not furnish training in
practical pursuits whereby women m ay
earn a livelihood"
1t Is not necessary in the practical in
auguration of this scheme that the State
shall incur large expenditure, for mum.
Der of excellent college buildings are
available that could be leased for a term
IT four or five years at moderate rental
If we are not mistaken such a build
ing can be obtained upon reasonable
terms in our neighboring city, Colum.
bus, and If the State entered upon the
experiment in this way, merely provid-
ing for the rent of the building, the EN-.
ployment of the teachers, furnishing the
school-rooms, ETC., the scheme would be
afforded fair trial until the next meet
ing of the Legislature.
II we had such an institution the sew
eral counties would of course be entitled
to representation in its advantages in
proportion TO population, and these
scholarships could be granted as prizes
to the girls in the common schools, or
given as awards in competitive exami-
nations. -
The experiment ought to be tried.
Give the girls fair chance in the
struggle for education's highest honcrs.
