AN OPEN QUESTION.

The New York sun man has been read
at NaSsar and other colleges for ladies
and he finds that the women graduates of
this year "havc displayed an unusual
fertility of mind in their essays and ora
tions. They have ranged over all the
realms of knowledge and thought,
through all the domains of mind and
substance. amid all the fields of specula-
ton aud imagination. They have found
themes in physics and metaphysics, in
theology and the sciences, in government
and political economy, in history and
biography, in mechanics and romance,
in life, language, institutions, forms,
forces, progress, production, music, and
we cannot tell what else Among the
titles of the young women's essays the
sun discovers these "Locyker's Meteor C
Hypothesis" "MediHval Universities, -
Modern Humanism,' The American
Referendum. "The Ethics of Matthew
Arnod's Poetry" "Philanthrophy be-
lore anu dllCG NnIl>l WHICH Dear out
its assertions above quoted as to the
amount of ground covered. In con-
clusion the sun asks "Are not the young
feminine collegians getting ahead, in the
intellectual domain, of the young mascu-
line cOllegians:"
The answer is not easy. 1t may be
that they are, but the facts stated by the
sun do not supply an answer. If it were
shown that all these profound topics
were ably discussed, then the reply
might be in the affirmative. But it by
no means follows that the selection of
subjects like these proves depth of
scholarship or ability to grapple with
them. Indeed. it has been said, often
and emphatcally. by an experienced
educator, of the young man in college,
that if there is any question under the
sun of which he is absolutely ignorant
that is sure TO be the theme of his grad
uating Grafton. If the same is true OF
young woman in colleges, the sun may
be all wrong in its deductions.

VERMONT TO HAVE HER SHARE.

Attorney General Miller has rendered
decision to the effect that this State is
entitled to her share of the direct tax un-
der the act of Congress of March ,. 1891,
amounting TO Sl79. 4O7 50. 1t will be re-
memhered that when Vermont's claim
for this money was presented at the
treasury it was discovered that charge
against the State in the war department
that had never been audited or settled at
the treasury for about twice the amount
of her direct tax claim was still unset
tied. This charge was for arms. ammu-
milton and military stores furnished the
State during the rebellion. The question
was referred to the attorney general for
his opinion and he holds that the State is
entitled to receive her share of the direct
tax. Notwithstanding the charge against
her. He recites the facts of the st. AL
bans raid and the consequent alarm
along the Canadian border. Thereupon
the Vermont authorities appealed to the
national government, and President Lin
coin and Secretary Stanton ordered the
governor to call out the State militia,
promising to supply him with the neces-

Advocates of the parcels post for this
country are coming to be numerous now
that the express companies are putting
the screws to the public with extra force.
How the scheme works where it is in
operation is shown by the following
extract from an article in the June
Century:
We had sent our baggage, as we had
been advised, to the post office, where
we at once went. The bag which we
wished to post to Zermatt seemed to us
very heavy, but scythes and barrels and
bundles of Old iron, labeled and ad-
dressed, were lying on the floor, and we
supposed it must be all right, though the
postmistress, as soon as we had paid our
money, turned away without giving us
stamps or receipt, and had nothing more
to do with us. We need not have worried,
for the Swiss post office takes anything
and everything that the express com
panies at home would carry; and If one
does not bother bout his baggage, it is
as certain To turn up at his Journey S
end as it would he 10 disappear in Eng

managed asylums. no doubt, but every
once in while come reports of terrible
abuses in connection with their admins
tration. \ special committee of the
legislature has been looking into the
affairs of the State asy lum at Springfield,
H., which says it finds these facts,
among Others;
Many inmates have been beaten, kicked
and otherwise fearfully maltreated.
Patieuts were forced to work out in win

were indecently exposed and their feet
soaked with water while in one case a
patient was thrown into a heater and
held there until badly burned. Another,
with high fever, was taken from his
room and beaten for asking for water.
The vilest epithets were used to inmates
and their beds were in some instances
filthy. Although 100 gallons of milk
goes into the kitchen every day, none of
it gets into the wards. 1t is used or
stolen by the attendants. The committee
believes the inmates are deprived of the
early vegetables, and that they are sold.
The evidence clearly shows, it is stated.
that ;he superintendent. physicians,
supervisors and trustees have been in
pormed of these things. The committee
believes the treasurer of the hospital de-
posits the funds in bank and converts
the interest to his own use: also that he
has purchased Mexican dollars at a dis
count of 10 per cent and sold them at par.

A CHANCE FOR REFORMERS.

No country on the face of the earth is
so plentfully supplied with reformers as
this. They are of all sorts and descrip-
tions, and there is hardly field of human
action into which they do not enter. The
most vociferous of them are in politics !;
but the ballot, the spelling-book, the
prisons, the reformatories, the tenements
of great cities and a thousand and one
things besides receive share of atten-
ton. But there is one kind of institution
to the betterment of which they do not
appear to have applied their energies, or,
if they have, with little success, and that
is the lunatic asylum. There are well
