The day fixed for the execution of
John B. Lehman is once more approach
ing 1t is Friday, January Sth, just one
week from New Years Day. While
there is possibility that the murderer
may again be reprieyed, it is hardly
probable, but there il really no question
but that he will finally be executed,
though it may not be until few weeks
later than the date fixed. As yet no
step has been taken to secure for the
condemned man trial of the question
OF his sanity, and it is anticipated that
his attorneys may ask Governor Mel
lette for respite until such trial is had.
If this be done, and the request be
granted, Lekm man will not hang January
Sth. There can be only one result Of
such trial--a delay of a few days, a
few more dollars added TO the county's
expense, and the final hanging Of the
murderer. We venture the assertion
that any jury of twelve men that may
be secured in this county, after listen
ing to proper expert testimony and the
evidence of those who have been in
daily contact with Lehman during the
past two years, will without any hesita-
ton pronounce him sane.

YOUNG WOMEN IN THE SOUTH.


They Are Securing An Education for Self
Only.
The fact that so large proportion of
the young women now attending south
ern colleges are securing an education
not for ornament but for use, not for
social culture merely but in prepara-
ton for self-support, has had the very
natural effect of making them more
earnest and diligent in the prosecution
of their studies. A much larger pro-
portion of college girls comes now from
the middle and poorer classes than for
merly. Many of the poor girls of the
south to-day arc the daughters of cdu-
Gated parents whose property was
swept away during the war, their cul-
ture surviving the loss of home and
property. And what will an educated
and refine mother not do, what sacri-
fees will she not make, in order that
her daughter may have the benefits of
an education? If poor she will prac-
tice the most rigid economy and sub
NIT to the severest personal self-de-
NAL if thereby her daughter is enabled
to enjoy the advantages of an educa-
ton; and many are the southern moth
ers who since the war have done this,
and more, to give their children an ed
ucation. And there are many noble in
stances in which an elder daughter,
having been thus educated through the
labor and economy of her parents, has
generously requited their loving self
denial in her tehalf by going to work
herself and helping each of her young
err sisters to obtain the education which
their parents were anxious but unable
TO give them. II is Victor Hugo who has
called this 'the century of woman" II
is certainly an age that has witnessed
great changes in the life, education and
labor of women everywhere; and these
changes have all been in the direction
of charging the sphere of woman's &C
tiyities, increasing her liberties and
opening up possibilities to her life
hitherto restricted to man. 1t is {
movement limited to no land and to nj
race. So fa as this movement may
