the way the party gave the cold shoulder

adjustcrs don't like very well the treat

desperate effort made in caucus win
ter before last to prevent Wingdeld

that old veteran, Frank Ruflin, who had
rendered such invaluable services to the
party, when he asked for the easy and
dignified Office Of Secretary Of the Com
monwealth, was told that that office
was to be bestowed upon my excellent
young friend Flournoy, from Bristol,
Tenn, and that he must put up with
the Second Auditors place. And
it is amusing to be informed that in

mention these little matters to show
that the leaders Of that party will not
learn anything; will not forget any
thing, except such as prudence would
advise them to remember; will not for
give anything; will not acknowledge
anything they had done wrong; nor
will it reward any one outside Of party
ranks for any service, however valu-
able. This must be Bourbonism, |
fear, in its worst form. Looking at the
situation from my standpoint, | can

especially if the people are to
understand that none others except

il was not until the invention Of the
balance-spring, about the year 1860,
that any rapid progress was made in the
direction of good time-kccping. The
invention Of the balance-spring is
assigned both to Huygens and to Dr..
Robert Hooke, an Englishman, and it
is claimed that il must rest with
the latter, whose enunciation OF the
theory Of its isochronism in the words,

the rapidity with which the brass es,

caused the introduction Of ruby cylin-
ders, but the difficulty and expense OF
making rendered them unsuitable for
ordinary watches. The Swiss, how

women ut Oxford and Cambridge.

London Daily NeWs.
Those who wish to see the benefits
of University education extended to
women have every reason to be salts
fed with the rapidly-increasing success
of the ladies' colleges at Cambridge and
Oxford. Since the first establishment
of Newman and Girton Colleges the
governing body Of each Of these institu-
tons has had constantly to face the diff
ficulty ofproviding accommodation for
rapidly-increasing influx of students.
At Newman there are now rather
more than one hundred students--forty
in the south hall, presided over
by Miss Clough, and fif.y-one in
north hall, the head of which
is Miss Helen Gladstone, besides about
dozen out-students, who are re-
siding with their relatives in Cambridge.
These numbers will very soon be con-
siderably increased. The number OF
vacancies expected at the end of the
academical year is twenty-five, and
there are already forty applications for
entrance for the ensuing term. The ex-
perience of previous years leads the
authorities Of the college to anticipate
that the number of applications for en-
trance will at least be double
the number of expected vacancies
at the beginning of the Michaelmas
term. At the council meeting on Satur-
day last il was therefore resolved that
another house must be engaged and
prepared for the reception of students
in October next. This rapid develop
ment is the more satisfactory because
it does not imply rivalry with similar
institutions. All the colleges are -four
ishing. Girton College has lately
added new wing, and the additional
rooms thus provided were Immediately
occupied. The Oxford Colleges are
making up for lost time, and in few
years it may be expected that
Someryille will be equal in numbers
TO Girton and Newman. Lady
Margaret's College, at Oxford, which
was started on a strictly denomination
al basis, has not developed so rapidly
as the other three; but Someryille,
like Newman, has been obliged to hire
house from next October for the
temporary accommodation Of the large
ly increased entry Of its students, and at
a meeting summoned by invitation al
the house Of Lord Aberdare to-day a
special appeal will be made to those
who wish well to the higher educa-
ton Of women to provide funds to en-
able Somerville Hall to erect new
building. The present hall, which is
presided over by Miss Lefevre, sister o.
the Postmaster General, has its compile
ment Of twenty-four students, and it il
proposed, if possible, to obtain funds
for the building Of second hall, to be
under the care Of vice-principal, fol
the accommodation Of thirty-five stu
dents. Considering that the admission
of women students to the Tripos ex.
aminations at Cambridge was only sane
toned by the University in February
1881, and that somewhat similar con
cession was made by the University o
Oxford so recently as April, 1884, tn
progress that has been made is highl.
satisfactory. 1t encourages the hop
that it will not be long before the an
cient universities will follow the exam
pie of their younger sister Of Londol
and admit women, not only to thei
examinations, but also to their degrees
