Gen. R. N. Batchelder. the new quar-

army, was born in New Hampshire IN
1882. He enlisted as first lieutenant
and regimental qnartermaster in the
First New Hampshire regiment, and
rose rapidly through various grades
until he became chief quartermaster Of
of the army of the Potomac in 1864,
which position he held until the close
the war. He received more breyets
than any officer of the quartermaster'
corps for meritoriouS service during the
war.

THOSE EYES.

sHer eyes are brown you say. Perhaps
they are,
I would not say they were not. am far
From saying what l do not know; and
Know motif they are blue as is the sky
Or brown. or gray, or other shade or hue;
Because / look not on her eyes as you
Or other men may look. To me, the prize
Is simply found in this, they are her eyes.
That is enough for me; the world lies there,
And light or dark, that world Is wondrous
fair
So fair do not think to set it down,
And say to this or that, Her eyes are
brown
To me they are the suns rays, which com.
bine
All colors in but one-the light divine:
And when look into them. far beyond
see that which should make a man more
fond
Than any touch or color. tint or shade;
And seeing that, my peace is quickly made
If doubt there were, lay the burden down,
Content to hear you say, Her eyes are
brown"

CO-EDUCATION.

The discussion Saturday in the Nation
al Educational council was extremely
interesting, yet on account of the diyis-
ion of opinion there was no satisfactory
solution of the question whether OF not
it is desirable for boys and girls to be
educated in the same school. AS mat
ter of fact, the problem of co-education
is solving itself; or, rather, is being
solved by what seems to be the inherent
disposition of the American people to
take up every new fad, without regard
to its value or deslrability. Whether
desirable or undesirable, co-education is
already an established feature of our
American school system so far as it re-
lates to schools supported at public ex-
pense. And there is decided tenden-
cy towards it among the private institu-
lions of learning.
So far as the common schools are con-
cerned, it is impossible to separate the
sexes. Nor is it matter of so much
consequence with children of tender
years, especially where they are all the
time under the immediate restraint of
home influence. But it is possible that
in the department of higher education
we have overstepped the limits of pro-
prety, if not of safety. in too promiscu-
Gus mingling of the sexes. The argu-
ment as to the mental capacity and
physical strength of woman being equal
to that of man does not apply here.
Grant all that is claimed for woman by
the advocates of co-education, there still
arises the question as to the lack of re-
stralning influence, which is of vastly
more concern to the future wOmanhood
of America than the question Of mental
equality or of equal privileges. That
was very strong point made by
Miss CONWAY during the discussion
of this topic last Saturday, when she
said: Every girl should be so closely
and carefully directed that her thoughts
may be turned towards full life, with
the freest possible play of her facul-
ties" 1t is noteworthy fact that some
eminent educators who advocate CO.
education admitted that they did not
practice what they preached. They ex-
hibited lack of confidence in the cor
rectness of their theories by refusing to
send their own daughters to mixed
schools.
There is no question about the duty
of granting equal opportunities to both
sexes. UnquestionablY, the girls are as
capable of receiving as high education
as the boys, and they are entitled to an
equal chance. But it doesn't follow
that they must be educated together.
In the beginning God made them male
and female. and no amount of theoriz-
ing will ever obliterate the lines of
separation which nature has estab-
lished, and which all the instincts of
propriety approve.

tons of the farms of this country; vir-

tons of the farms of this country; vir-
tually none SO far as the main products
are concerned. England and the Brit
ish countries took 81 per cent of these
exports, while this country bought of
them but Sc per cent of the imports.
That is, Great Britain bought of the
United States S160,000,0OO more than
this country took in return. More than
half the total of products the United
States sent abroad went to the subjects
of Great Britain. England is a
great manufacturing country, but
has insufficient agricultural re-
sources. 1t is the chief customer
for the surplus farm products of
this country. The production of the
United States is largely in excess of the
home demand. Other countries need
food, and buy of us very much in the
proportion that we buy of them.
Human nature has a good deal to do
with even international traffic. Ii a
tariff prohibits any competition of En-
glish manufactures with those of this
country, there would be the strongest
stimulant for the British people to look
to other countries, where they are al
lowed to trade, for the food products and
cotton wanted. The chief sufferers
would be the growers of cereals and cot
ton in this country. So far as the agri-
cultural interests are concerned, 1t
would be Of more advantage to have
reciprocity with European than with
SPANS h-American countries.

If the Southern negro is deprived of
his political rights and his vote sup
pressed. as the advocates of the bill

men who should know the fact, and
since they are Republicans they are the
very men who should be willing to
testify to it, and not suppress OF deny
it. if it is fact. When, therefore. they
calmly and deliberately say, in reply to
the passionate TRADES and bullet rhet-
oric of such men as Henderson, of Iowa.
that the negro vote is not suppressed,
that elections are fair, and that the
negroes are not all Republicans by any
means, their testimony should certainly
be regarded as credible by Northern
