SCORNED HER FATHER.

Notions ON Education by an
Advocate of Equal Suffrage.
Much amusement has been caused here
by the trial of an action in which M. de
Caste, the deputy for Brest, sought to
have his daughter-who is forty years Of
incompetent to manage her
own affairs. The lady was married to q M.
Esquirou. M. de Caste is the champion of
"Women's Rights in the French chamber.
Not only would he give women votes, but he
is anxious to see them sitting in parliament
"a deputies or senators. A fortnight ago he
introduced a bill to that effect, but it W as
rejected summarily without discussion It
was, therefore, with surprise that politicians
heard of the abnegation of his cherished
principle of women being a. good as men-if
no better-in managing the affairs of the
nation as we'll as their own, by seeking this
introduction against his own daughter. NJ.
de Caste set up the plea that Madame
Esquirou was hysterical. The lady's reply
wasemphatic and disclosed peculiar system
of education.
'You say am nervous and hysterlcal,'
was the answer to her fathers request;
"well. it is not your fault if am not driven
we're only professor. You wearied me al
most to distraction. During the night you
used to come into my room and put ques-
tions to me in English, German, or some
other language, and half asleep as I was,
you insisted upon me answering in the
same tongue. With your hobby about this
equality and the rights of woman, learned
when was seven, things which only mar.
ried people should know. and to-day you
demand my introduction"

be correct Master Pip, under the hands O.

Special Officer Charles Breens, who is de-
tailed at the Coliseum, told an INDEPEND-

The Report That Miss Davis VIII Not
Marry MIR. Wilkinson Confirmed.

NEW York, Oct. l6.-A special to the
Sun, from Syracuse, n. Y, says: The ell
gagement of Miss Winnie Davis. the
Daughter Of the Confederacy, to Mr..
Alfred Wilkinson, of this city, which was
announced legs than six months ago, and
which created 80 great surprise in all
parts Of the country. has been broken.
Intimate friends here of Miss Davis author
ize this statement. They assign as the
cause the i'll health of the yonng lady.
Miss Davis has not been in good health
for some time, and she went abroad for the
purpose of recruiting her strength. Her
trip was beneficial, but did not restore
her fully to health He mother and her
intimate friends felt that under these
circumstances it would he best that the
engagement should be- broken, and this
step was most reluctantly taken by Miss
Davis. On the other hand, some of Mr..
Wilkinson's friends are of the opinion
that the recent reverses of his family, his
moderate income, and the still more
recent burning of the old homestead, had
some weight in shaping Miss Winnie's
decision. Mr.. Wilkinson has had nothing
to say, even to his most intimate friends,
and conducts himself admirably under the
somewhat trying ordeal. He refuses to
he interviewed on the subject, and seems
much immersed in business. The state
ment is made in a local paper that some
time ago prominent gentleman of this
city received a request from the South

Depew's Tribute to Cleveland.

q. Y. Correspondent; Philadelphia Tines
At the dinner given to John Russell
Young, at the Aston House, New York,
last Thursday, in honor o: Gen. Roger a.
Pryor, Chauncy NJ. Dcpew paid high
compliment to cx-Prcsident Cleveland,
who was one of the guests. After speak
ing about the distinguished men about
the board, he said: "If were asked to
name the most forccful character in
American life, the man who best repre-
scnts the energy, the answering dctermi-
nation and the courage of the true Amer
lean, the man who knows duty, and it
alone when public service commands it..
the man who wars in war, and is for peace
in peace, would name General ". T..
Sherman. But ii am to name the typi-
cal American. the man who loves and be-
licvcs in his country beyond everything
else, the man who determining once in
what direction his duty leads. cannot be
swcrved from the path. the man who is
doggedlv persistent in what he believes TO
he right, the man who thinks not of self,
but Of his country and its needs, | would
name Grover Cleveland What he has
accomplished is the very highest tribute
to the possibilities Of American citizen
ship. y country lawyer in the city Of
Buffalo, he shed lustre upon the high pro-
fcsson which he has chosen. AZ the
mayor of his native city he presented as
his record clean and economical admin
istration Coming into the highest posi-
ton in the land without previous expert
cnce snd with scarcely precedent TO
guide him in the conditions which sur
rounded him, he won the affection of his
party and commanded the respect of
his opponents. find myself in one Of
the proudcst positions of my life in being
permitted to present to YOU Grover Glove
land ~ the typical American.
Mr. Cleveland sat next to Mr.. Dcpcw,
and when he arose he bowed first to that
gentleman. and said feolngly: "If what
has been said Of me is true. occupy a
prouder position than | ever dreamed of
doing" He then quickly dropped the
subject of himself, and without the
slightest reference to politics or public
affairs spoke simply Us member Of the
bar. He presented the appearance of q
man in the perfection Of physical vigor.
1t was interesting to study the conflicting
emotions expressed in the faces of those
who earnestly watched and listened to
him. Murat Halsted, for instance, one Of
his most biting critics in the public press,
viewed him at first distrustfully, but
before he had been speaking long the Field
Marshal's hands were the most vigorous
in their applause, and it was curious TO
notice how men turned to their neighbors
and muttered, There is no doubt that
Cleveland is great man." He impressed
every one with the fact that he was not
an orator or an after-dnner talker, but
that he was thinker, and that he felt
earnestly everything that he said.

If we were asked what particular section

attractive field for enterprise and invest
GINA. AS we have not one dollar in
vested in any shape in Virginia We con-
slider this an unbiased opinion We be-
lieve that capitalists will find it to their
advantage to investigate this most prom
Using field for the employment of capital.
We do not say this in disparagement Of
the claims of other Southern States, for
we are believers in the whole section,
but think we recognize in Virginia the
beginning of a series of industrial pur-
suits and enterprises which will make the
old Commonwealth hum with activity, and
will produce most promising opportuni-
ties for profitable investment. Virginia
has Jagged behind her sister States in in
dustrial advancement wholly, in our opin-
ion because of the unsettled condition Of
her debt and the obstruction which was
thus placed upon the inflow Of capital.
Happily, there is good reason for believing
that this hindrance is about to be re-
moved. and that the people of Virginia,
realizing the Importance of unblemished
credit, will respond to the movement to
settle the debt and that satisfactory
compromise will be effected.
The bondholders are showing every dis
position to effect settlement Of the debt,
and arc depositing their bonds under the
agreement of the committee. There were
