had mothers Of good heart and stout
sense. Mother wit, or lack Of it, de-
cides almost everything. Gumption
is an indispensable characteristic.
Now, gumption is inherited from the
mother. Higher style Of education
for women means more gumption. Is
it possible that any one wants to know
what gumption is? Then l will de-
fine it. Gumption is that quality Of
mind and heart by which-well, if
you do not know what it is, it is be-
cause you are lacking in gumption!
Bring woman's education to the per-
fection Of mans and there will be
more equipoise Of character, and
stronger equipment for the generation
following. Co-education is now pro-
posed at Columbia College. Co-edu-
cation is going to be the rallying
cry FOR the universities throughout
Christendom. We want more female
doctors. Naturally qualified by the
Lord with higher qualities for attend
ance upon the sick, why should wo-
man not have all possible advantages
Of improving her especial faculty in
that direction? Many Of us would
have been dead long ago had it not
been for maternal or sisterly or wifely
nursing. It is time that the world
stop deriding the female medical col
leges, as every spring they hand out
the diplomas to their graduates. We
want more womanly lawyers added to
the catalogue Of those who are already
pleading in the courts Of this country.
No one surely could plead for woman's
life like a woman. Our laws about
dowers, about divorce, about defense
against husbandly squandering of es-
tates, about the holding Of property,
will never be what they ought to be
until there are great number OF wo-
men with severest legal acumen, able
to shape statutes, and confront courts,
on these questions. Yea, we want fe-
male preachers. Surely she who was
last at the cross and first at the sepul-
cher ought to be able to tell the gos-
pei story with surprising effectiveness.
The pulpit has already had it's Miss
Smiley and its Lucretia Mott, and the
law in the Presby byterian Church, which
arraigned clergyman as criminal if
he allowed a woman to preach, has
been modified to let every presbytery
do as they think best. The doors Of
our colleges, now Set ajar to let women
crowd in, must be swung wide open.
[ hail the improved condition Of man
ly education as revealed in the annual
commencements and the improved
prospect for womanly achievement,
Notwithstanding the vote Of cele-
brated medical society against the ad-
omission of women to membership.

FHE EXPERIENCE
OF A LIFETIME,

Combined with attention, caution
and carefulness, have enabled the
proprietors of DR.. Guysotfs FELLOW
Dock and SarsapariIiu to make it
the best blood purifier in the
world, the surest strengthener of
the urinary and digestive organs,
the finest Alternative, the trpest
tonic. A lady who suffered from
weakness peculiar to her sex, in
writing to a friend said:
"Itried various kidney medicines,
but only found myself growing
worse. My husband brought me
bottle of Dr.. Guysotfs yellow Dock and
Sarsapnriia. Its effect was quickly
apparent. My complexion ere long
became clear and free from pimples;
I soon enjoyed gladstone freedom
from aches and pains; l became
less nervous; my habits became
regular; gained in flesh and have
been made to feel better every way.
I can not praise the remedy too
highly as a true friend to suffering
women and as a Strengthening
medicine"
It is the safest remedy lady can
use, as it leaves no unpleasant after
effects nor does its discontinuance
cause craving for it's further use.

which was returned with shot guns

crippled him, and he was captured.
He was brought up on the Sun

Without ever saying % good
word of themselves or q bad
word of a brother editor, they
will speak of all the men of the
town as able, talented, genial
and handsome, and of all the la
dies, from youth to hoary age,
as enchanting fairies and beauti-
FIJI bellies. We praise your
crops, your cattle and your pigs
and do not charge you a cent
for it. But the newspaper has a
voracious nav, within which
ink, paper and the products of
the editors muscle and brains
disappear as if by magic.
The editor is not like the lily
and the sparrow, that without
a thought for the morrow, are
fed and clothed by Providence.
The journalist, though you
might not think it, has, as much
as other people a need for food
and raiment. 1t is, therefore,
just that he should derive an
immediate and reciprocal bene-
fits in his arduous labors for the
public good. While he is boom
ing the town and country let the
citizens boom his paper.
If you want immigration,
don't waste money on pam
phlets, circulars aEd postage
stamps, but make your paper do
the talking for you. Enable the
editor to get out a good paper,
and then send out thousands OF
copies to the points you desire
to- reach. The newspaper will
be more likely to be read, will
reach more people, and will COM
mand more influence thar any
catalogue or dodger, however
we'll designed.
The newspaper published in
the locality can get up a better
description of it's territory than
can be composed in a possibly
distant Office.
Gentlemen and ladies of Opel

ing picture must be drawn by
the artist true to nature. Your
rolling prairies, verdant with
corn, cotton and a wealth of
grasses, meet on your horizon
with the emerald pillows of the
sea. Delightful breezes from
the gulf moderate your winters
and temper the rays of the sum-
mer sun. The roses do not lin
ger for spring, but bloom i'll
winter ; and throughout the
year the sweet incense of fra
grant flowers ascends to heaven
from a country lavishly endowed
with all that is needed to supply
the wants or minister to the en-
of man.
Still more attractive than the
matchless beauties and wonder
ful resources of this land ofsong
and story-this garden spot OF
Lou Isiana-is the royal hospi-
tality of your people. The
stranger will seek a home among
the communities that will give
a friendly greeting. You will
find no difficulty in securing the
immigrants you desire if you
will extend to them the hand OF
fellowship and a welcome as
hearty and a reception as splen.
did as that you have accorded
