Mnmen,a Advancement

The eufraachisement of women is the
immediate purpose announced by the -uf'
frage association, but II naturally covers
a far wider field in the coming destiny of
the other half of human society.
The great respect and interest mani
Tested In all schemes for wOmen's ad
vsncemeDt III the country is caught up in
the old world, and nerves progressive
women in tradition-ridden countries to
as ire and labor for their natural rights
as human beings too.
At this moment the French women are
making heroic attempts to enter the
learned professiC ms. A few weeks ago
Brussels woman made application for ad-
mission to the bar, after having taken her
degree in law, and the denial of her APP
plicatiOn by the court stirred mp good
deal of discussion in the French journals.
Not long ago Mile Sohnlize, very attrac-
tive and Intelligent Young lady, read a
thesis before the medical school In Paris
on the practice of medicine by women.
The disting uished DR.. Charnot was called
upon TO answer positions, and tried to
cover up his inability to do 80 by the
rather tame French ruse OF com pliment-
ing her on her beauty.
Even the Car is unable to head off the
ambition OF the Russian woman to excel
in letters and the learned profession, IN
spite of his cruel resort of banishment.
The German women are making great
strides 10 the professions, in the face OF
that widespread pr, JUDGE which holds
woman 10 be the mere ward and servant
of her husband. A bill is now pending
before the French Chambers giving wo-
men at the hsad of business houses the
right TO vote for judges of the tribunal
of commerce.
Thus does the seed scattered in the land
of the free speech and free mental &C
tivity take root in the old conservative
countries and promise fruits even more
fay-resching in their ultimate effects than
the mere local privilege OF casting bal
lot for Smith a. against Jones.

The AtrociLles of a Slave March.

Prof Henry Drummoud, in June Scribner's.
No one who understands how human
life is estimated by savage peoples will
doubt the shocking and revolving &C
counts of travellers regarding this phase
of the traffic; and no one who knows
what an Arabs heart is made of will make
any discount even for the eIagg Grafton OF
an orator, a. he listens TO the following
citation from speech delivered the other
day IN London by Cardinal Lavigerie.
"The men who appear the strongest,
and shose escape is TO be feared, have
their hands tied, and sometimes their

Gigantic Ghost In White.

II is said tast ghost has been seen ia
ridges OF Walker county, Ga, the other
night by some parties returning from
church. Il appeared N the road az near as
they could guess, 100 yards ahead OF them.
1t was in the shape of human being
when first seen-eye looked like two great
balls OF fire, teeth rs white as snow,
hair almost trailing on the ground. A.
they neared the object il appeared az a
women dressed, of giant size. The party
became scared, and, but for fear of being
laughed at, weuld have turned ard run.
A few moments consultation with renewed
energy oaused them TO advance. They
had moved bat a few steps when thekhost
commenced moving backward, all the
time appearing larger to the Heightened
party. II moved on about 200 yards,
when very suddenly it appeared 10 ex-
plode and throy its fragments in every
direction resembling the explosion OF a
lamp. Every fellow made for his respeo-
tive home scared within an inch OF HIS
life. No explanation of the apparit.on
has been offered.

The Pumpkin Marquis. "
Youth's COMPANION.

Literature has amusing stories of peas
ants ard workingmen who, suddenly
raised 70 wealth snd position, imagined
themselves mad or dreaming. Doubtless
their feelings under sucA circumstances
might resemble those of Bottom, the
weaver, when he found himself beloved
by TitanIa, the fairy queen. There are
persons, however, who can bear off unao-
customed honors with credit to them
selves and their new positiOus.
On the accession of tho present
Manchu dynasty in China, in l644, the
heir of the last Ming Il nperor was made
a Marquis. During the reign OF the last
Emperor but one, the holder of the mar
quisate Cied without sons, and reference
was at once made TO the family records
TO ascertain who was the next heir.
1t was found that he was an obscure
person, who had been entirely lost sight
of by his family, and for long time il
was impossible to trace his whereabouts.
Finally, however, he was discovered sell
ing pumpkins outside the gates OF Pekin,
and was with difficulty convinced that
he had become heir to large fortune and
a title. He was rustic 10 manners, and
quite destitute of education, though an
honest man, who had always done his
best to support himself and his family
without inoUrring debt.
The officials by whom he wss discover
ed at once hurried HIM away, washed,
shaved and combed him, exchanged his
rags for costly raiment. For several days
they devoted themselves 10 polishing his
manners, and teaching him the phrases
needful TOR a presentation at court, and
he was tben brought before the Emperor
as the new Ming Marquis. His claims
were allowed, and he at once took posses
sion of his palace and estates.
He is described as a KIND hearted man,
who has done his best TO educate him
self and thus fulfill the duties Of his high
position, and as he has sons, 80 that the
succession is secured, his family is now
in as strong a position ~ ever.
He is popularly known as the Pump
kin Marquis" and one would be interest
ed la knowing whether ne writhes in
hearing the sobriqCet, or enjoys it as.
one unbroken link between the present
and has former humble life.

rs much. When Prise sprang over the

"Hst and sEulln battle ensued Az one

fedvrate back Almost within the Federal
lines, bat Frank held on TO the flag like
grim death. BY universal consent, firing
stopped all along the lines. The soldiers
of both sides laid down their arms -
witness the struggle, and cries OF go il
Reb!' "hold to u, Yank!' etc, resound
ed al along the lines.
The two game chickens fought over
the entire ground-back and fotth-fir

tough and wIry, finally "Out-windea" the
Federal, got possession of the starry

pursuer, who was following with a bay
onet charge. All this time Price had re-
taiued his loaded oarblue still swung

step entsngled his feet in the hig ami
tripped him within sixty feet of mis- regl-

made a rush toward him With bayones

crate but to unsling his carbine and fire

close by his side.

fight with" remarked young Price, but

With bloody nose ard battered face,
Price carried his trophy into this breast

The incident was published in the Rich

most remarkable OF the war. Frank still
retains the flag as q valued memento OF
the desperate struggle which crowned
him victcr. i; Indicates what fun Gen.

the Test of Men-Grant, Lila

Scribner's Magazine

The nature eff every man Is so mystefi
Gus, so immeasutable Ind unfathomable,
that what seems to others the narrowest
mental orgauiEation may contain within
itself untx pected resources. This is the
hidden cause of the invariable appearance
of great men in times of national trial
and disturbance, At such times, 9nite
unpretending individuals come 10 the
front by the forces of nature that form-
erly lay concealed within them, and they
vim fame, perhaps immortal fame, like
Cromwell, g rant, Lincoln, for qualities
that would scarcely have attracted notice
in common life and in ordinary times
the fact of such appearances of great
men ought to warn US all against the pre-
sum ptiOn of setting bounds to the future
of anyone, except IN matters where tech
nicsl excellence is necessity. II man
cannot play the fiddle at thirty years of
age we may safely predict that he will
never become al accomplished violInlst
but when there is no technical obstacle
the limits cannot De ixed. Scott fell IN
to woodworking ccidently, and a very
trivial circumstance "a search for fishing
tackle that made him stumble upon the
unfinished manuscript of "Waverly'D
caused him to re, ume it after a first
abandonment. George Eliot spent her
time in translating German philosophical
books, not at all suspecting the existence
of her own gifts as novelist, until Lewes
urged her TO make experiments. pos
sible external cause in either of these
cases would have left the gift dormant
forever. If Byron had not appeared
Scott would have remained the first poet,
so that he would not have turned to prose;
for Shelley and Keats counted for hardly
anything in those days, and Wordsworth
WAS unpo palar. If Miss Evans had mar
ried rioh or binary man the intellectual
side of her nature would have overshadow-
ed the artistic, and she would never have
been anything more than a student and
expounder of philosophy.
Unthinkiug people express an aston
ishment at Piles of this kind which
is in itself unreasonable. They think 1t
very Surprising that anyone should sue
coed in pursuit for which he has not
been trained, but that never happens.
