the CLASSICS DYING our.

GEeek sBd Latin No Longer Cultivated -
in Days Conc ny.
It is an undoubted, If lamentabio
fact that the day of the classics is
practically over. Many q buried literary
treasure will perhaps lie hidden for
years in their Greek and Latin dress for
all that the world at large will ever
know of them. I had occasion, says q
writer in the Epoch, TO ask for a certain
translation few days ago, in one of
the largest book stores in New York,
and the buyer" told me: 1--WE keep
very few Of the classics, and it doesn't
pay TO stock up any more. There il
absolutely no demand for them, and q
perfectly equipped bookstore can be
sustained nowadays without n single
classic on its shelves. Take our modern
orators, and how often will they en-
ploy quotations from Cicero, Demos
themes, Plato and the others2 Not one In
hundred. Formerly when Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Wendell Philips.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Edward
Everett and Amos Bronson Alcott were
on the 'lyccum,' it was necessary for
those who heard them to have a
knowledge Of the classics TO intelligent
ly follow them. But, now, good landsI
the 'lyceum' is dead, and SO are the
classics Probably Ave times year
we have call for one, and IL doesn't
pay to keep q stock for these stray de.
mapds."

GETTING THE DEMOCRATS IN
A HOLE.

Men and brethren of the silver
States, do you not observe in all Of
the Eastern Republican, papers that
the Republicans OF tue East are
chucklipg in their sleeves because
they imagine that the Democrats are
getting themselves into q hole, as it
is expressed, by favoring the free coin
uge Of silver. The boast is made loud
and long, and with the undisguised
hope, not to say conviction. that some
partisan advantage is 10 I've reaped
from it in the approaching Presi1
dental election. Ali II this means
something or nothing. There is an
implied meaning that the Democrats
ire going to lose caste with the gold
bugs of Wall street and the East. II
the Democrats are 10 lose by it, the
Republicans are to gain by il, OF
course. What follows? What should
I low? Are the people Of the silver
States going to stand supinely by and
10 oho HhiVy Obhb IN NOtLAS LOL
them go down, without an effort to
resent the selfishnees and arrogance
o Lhe gold power of the East? Are
We going to stick to party forever and
ct rive while doing il? Home interest
should be the one vital issue with the
people Of the mining States in the
coming election. :, We should oil unite
and go as one man for that party or
that candidate which gives the great
est promise of benefit to orr local in
terest and industry. There is no
other sensible course to b. pursued in
the present depressed cond tion Of the
mining region. II the Democratic
party, as represented in Congress,
shall got itself into hole in trying to
help silver, how many Republicans
are there in the mineral West who
will lend II h md to pull it out? This
il the point, anI votos talk in a case
Of this character. II we are silver
men we will stand by our friends and
damn our enemies. IS,RtineL.

1GSaasn Women VINO Compare Fsyo5ablj
With Eur0peAns.


With Europeans.
In the early centuries OF Islam,
almost until the extinction OF the Sara
senic empire in Abe east, says the
Nineteenth Centdry, women continued
to occupy as exalted position as in
modern society Zobeida, the wife of
Horun, plays conspicuous part in the
history of the age, and. by her virtues;
as well as by her accomplishments,
leaves an honored name to posterity.
Humieda, the wife of Frauk, a Medenite
citizen, left for many years the sole
guardian OF her minor son, educates
him to become one of the most distin-
guished juris-consuls Of the day.
Sulsinsh or Sakina, the daughter q
Russian and the granddaughter of All,
was the most brilliant, most accom-
plshed. and most virtuous woman of
her time--''la dame des danes de son
temps, Ia plus belle, la plus gracieuse,
la plus brilliante de qualities" as Perron
calls her. Herself no mean scholar,
she priced the converse Of learned and
pions people. Duran, the wife of the
Cali.rh Nahum; Ummul-Fazi, Mamun's
sister, married to the eighth imam of
the house of Ali; Umm-i-Hsbil, Mamun's
daughter, were all famous for their
scholarship.
In the fifth century Of the Hegira, the
Sheikha Sbuhda, designated Fakhrun-
nissa ("the glory Of women''), lectured
publicly at the Musjid-l-Jama of Bag
dad to a large audience on literature,
rhetoric and poetry, says writer in
the Nineteenth Century. She occupies
in the annals Of Islam a position of
equality with the most distinguished
ulemas. What would have befallen
this lady had she fiourished among the
Acknowledgements of st. Cyril can be
judged by the fate Of Hypatia. Posi-
bly, she would have been torn to pieces
by enthusiastic Christians, but she
would to a certainty have been burned
as witch. Dzat-ul-Hemma, corrupted
into Dzemma, the lion heart" the
heroine Of many battles, fought side by,
side with the bravest knights.
1t is calumny, therefore, to say that
the Islamic system has lowered the
status of women. The teacher who, in
an age when no country, no system, no
community gave any right TO women,
maiden or married, mother or wife
who, in q country where the birth of q
daughter was considered q calamity,
secured to the sex rights which are only
unwillingly and under pressure being
conceded to them by the civilized ma
tions of the nineteenth countrywide
serve the gratitude of humanity. If
Mohnmmed had done nothing more his
claim to be q benefactor of mankind
would have been indisputable. Even
under the laws as they stand at present
in the pages Of the legists the legal po-
sition of Moslem females may be said
to compare favorably with that of Euro
pepn women.
