The Prices of English "Chaperonage."

A serious drawback to the cause OF
higher education for women in the Eng
lish universities is reported from Oxford.
The cost of "chaperonage" has risen.
The older women, who are considered
indispensable escorts to the girl students
who attend examinations and lectures,
are demanding and receiving higher pay
than ever before. In many cases the
students cannot afford to meet this in
creased expense, and daring reformer
has suggested that chaperons be dis
pensed with. While this has Mortified
the conservatives. it has pleased the indie
pendent young women. who are begin
ming to realize that there is no lurking
peril in the streets of Oxford. San Fran

Lady Florence Dixie has taken off the
gloves, if l may so put it. The time has
come, she declares in her latest mani
festo, for woman to assert herself and to
dethrone that too long worshiped and
dreaded tyrant-man! And there is only
one way, cries Lady Florence, in which
this can be done. Women, as women,
can never hope to effect the desired revo-
luton. Women, if they wish to do
anything, must disguise themselves as
men," patriotic mothers" are invited
ito train up their girls" with view to
this new plan of campaign. eff had a

Negro Emigration to Liberia.

We are in favor Of judicious emf
grafton to Liberia We should like to
see large number of young men with
ambition and energy, Of mlddle-aged or
old men with experience and capital, OF
old and young men and women with
education and culture to train the
Young, of mechanics and agrlCuturists,
20 there to settle that county, the only
one in addition to Hayti where the
problem of negro government is being
solved. We have visited Africa more
than once, and have inspected the
territorial domain of the Liberian Re
public, modelled after the United States
in its Legislative, Executive and d.
cial Departments and we speak Of what
we know and have seen. We say
calmly and deliberately, that it pres nts
magnificent possibilities to the negro
race of the United States, and is the
only place deserving mention upon the
face of the globe now left to the black
man where there is a ghost OF a chance
to demonstrate his ability for self
government and play the drama Of full
fledged manhood, My only fear is that
if they do not avail themselves Of these
possibilities soon, England, through her
colony OF Sierra Leone on the north,
and France, from the south, will absorb
the republic of Liberia, unless protected
by the United States, and this splendid,
if not the only opportunity will pass
away from the negro forever -BtShoP

Instead of an Eiffel tower or Ferris Wheel
it is proposed to have at Antwerp verita-
BILE castle in the air, the conception of an
engineer named Tobiansky 1t will be con-
structed of steel and bamboo tubing, tov-
cred with silk and sheet iron, and will be
80 feet long and have floor space of 200
square feet. 1t will be suspended from
captive balloon at a height varying from
800 to 1 500 feet, according to the strength
structure, including the balloon and all &C
cessories, with that of $50 persons, will be
about 10 tons, and it can be lowered to the
ground in about 80 minutes
The balloon will be anchored to the earth
by four great vertical cables, and large
number of guy ropes are relied on to pre-
vent it's escaping from control. 1t will
consist of two hemispheres of triple silk,
divided into three cylindrical compart-
ments. It's surface measurement will be
9,311 square meters and it's volume 74,079
cubic meters.
The balloon elevators, each capable of ac-
commodating 10 or 10 persons, will connect
the air castle with the ground. From the
dizzy elevation ordinarily maintained hun
dreds of miles of the fiat Belgian country
can be seen, and thousands of electric lights
will gayly scintillate from the balloon as it
hovers amid the clouds by night. Compe-
tent engineers pronounce the scheme feas-
