The High Price Which They Generally

No kind of psssage to degree by
mere exam nation, however rig d, could
ever have done for Scotland what her
true system of graduation has d ne for
her. BY it she grounded her sons in
knowledge, honorcd them with her
mark of approval. stamped them with
her own seal and let them go forth into
the world to develop the k ow edge they
had gained and apply it to the r own
wants and natural progress in the paths
ti.ey had chosen as their own. Had
Scotland admitted her daught rs to the
same privileges from tn first, what an
inca!culable bon she would have con-
ferred on h manity. She would have
proved by the best experiment TO what
extent women may rival men, andwhat

system, alike injurious to men and
womea, mignt then never have been de-

of it.
The present system is not graduation.
The degree obtained under it is not,

VIII III ng sort OF manner to crest OF
the mountain of learning, not a steady
journey to that crest by we'll known
paths, with good guides as conductors
through every step of the way. To
women this rapid mode of ascent would
be hi ardous if they could become, by
long training. of the same strength and
capacity with men; if, that is TO say.

Unde any circumstances. under any

though they may give up every thought
of matri mony, are unequal to the st. ain.

THE BIG FOUR AND THE VIADUCT.

compelled to aid in the matter. That company

william Watson Woolen,s Return.


On Saturday afternoon the report had been
well spread over the city that William Watson
Wooden, ex county attorney, was mysteriously
missing and had been absent from his place of
business and usual haunts for two days. There
was a fear expressed by his mother and brothers

Woolen) that he had committed suicide, as be
was in ill-health, suffering from insomnia, and
had met with financial reverses that had taken
away all his possessions, including his home
stead. Some one had seen him near the river,
and there was dread surmise among his rela-
tives and friends that he had committed suicide
by drowning
However. at IL o'clock on Saturday night Mr..
Wooden appeared at the residence of his brother,
Dr. G. " Wooden, apparently in his usual con-
dition, mentally and physically, and entirely I'M
conscious of the stories that had been going
around concerning his mysterious disappearance.
He said he had gone to Chattanooga on business
on Thursday last, and had not considered it
necessary to leave word with anyone, inasmuch
as his family was out Of town. His relatives and
friends were, of course, greatly rejoiced at his
return, and ne was sent at once to his mothers
residence to relieve her anxiety.

Release of Work House Prisoners.

The police are complaining vigorously that
persons who have been sentenced to the work
house have been released before the expiration
of their terms. Between two and three months
ago, John McCue, well Unknown rufian, was
given six months sentence in the work house
for an assault on one of the guards in that nsti-
tuition, he being one of tbs gang who tried to es-
cape from the place several months ago. With
his term not more than half expired,
the police were surprised to find him on the
streets on Saturday night knocking men down
wherever an opportunity offered. 1t is matter
of wonder in police circles by what authority he
is turned loose now. He was very bad man to
handle and the work house authorities are said
to have kept ball and chain on him, being in
constant fear of him. Releasing him is almost
equivalent to loosing mailman the streets.
He was arrested on Saturday night for knock
ing down two men because they refused to treat
He is now in the station house, and says he does
not know why he was released before the expir-
alton Of his term.

The Revival at Eletcher-Place Church.
Following the quarterly communion at Fetch

were begun last evening. under the ministra-
tons OF j. Allen OHara, of Alabama This
evangelist is quite young, not more than twenty
one or twenty-five years of age. but he has been
preaching since his fifteenth year His presence
is without magnetism that subtle influence
which draws crowds to Moody, Jones and others
of this class of Christian workers. There is
mannerism which one familiar with it will
recognize as common to the old-style exhorter.
He has no fund of anecdote, or at least he used
none to enliven his appeals or lessons. Last
evening he chose for his topic Christ the Great
way of exhortation than in sermonizing.
as the first essential to the salvation
of sinners This was the balm in Gilead that
could heal sin-strlcken hearts He urged upon
the young the great safety that lies in church,
and begged them to give their hearts to God.
Mr.. OHara is earnest, but he has not the power
of Sam jones' nor is he a master of oratory He
keeps his utteranees on one key, which is of
somewhat mournful sound From this there is
no variation But to his sincere and forceful
illusions to the grace God offered the world.

The boy in the fable cried
this SO often for fun that when
he cried it in earnest nobody
needed him.
So it is to some extent with
the phrase in the margin OF
this notice. 1t is such an
easy refuge for some dealers
that others who do as they
advertise hesitate to use it.
But in some cases there is
no other word.
For instance: We have an
immense stock of Millinery
Goods. 1t does not move fast
enough. It must be made to
move. The only way to do it
is to sell it as stated in the
margin.
Now, therefore, all our hats
and trimmings will be so sold
until the whole lot is closed
out.
