President Andrews, of Brown Univer-
sity, INDUCED in paying tributes to Lee
and some Of our Southern generals the
other day. 1t resulted in bringing down
upon him walls of wra-h from the Union
veterans of Massachusetts. We NAV
make all sorts of Fourth of July speeches
about 'the closing of the brea CHI" 'the
stretching of hands across the chasrn''
between the Moth and the South, but
the fact remains that it is only necessary
to bestow the faintest need of praise upon
the leaders of the Confederacy in order
to stir up the old Bitterness and hatred
of thirty years ago. That this feeling
has heen transmitted from father to son
is evidenced by the roofing up of the vine
few months ago that had been trans
planted from General Lees tomb to enc
of our Northern colleges. An OLD sore
may heal over, but it takes n long time
to remove all tenderness from the spot.
More than double the length of time
since our late war has passed since Eng
land and France have had any difficulty,
and though the channel that separates
them is very narrow, France and Eng
land do not love each other yet. \ COM

TIE past decade, spiung up between. the
North and the South, but even this has
not been SUFFICIENT to remove the scale S
from the eyes of the North, so far as see

who fought for the Confederacy is con.
cerned. We would by no means be I'm.

North echoes the sentiments expressed by

has done.

the standard for this degree in our schools
ir the South that, until ono knows the
college by which it was conferred, it is
meaningless. Instead OF making de
gree of scholarship second only to that of
an a. NJ. degree, it frequently represents
TIE most meagre attachments. For this
reason the degree of A. b except when
bestowed by our leading colleges, has
come to be looked upon with suspicion.
1t is then exceedingly desirable that some
plan should be adopted by which the
schools comforting this degree can agree
upon some uniform standard by which it
is to be conferred

The appointment of Professor Fraser,

the Normal College at Farmville no
doubt caused considerable surprise.
There were some two score applicants for
the position, and that one who has not
been resident OF the State for MANY
years should have been chosen to fill the
position is likely to cause unfavorable
comment The position is not only one
that pays handsome salary, as teachers
salaries go, but it ia at the same time one
of the most responsible positions in the
state. 1t is here our young women who
are in large measure to supply our

After the war the pension appropria

the outside limit of honesty and patriotic
duty. From 1871 the pension appropria-

died of wounds or disease contracted in
the war, until 1878 it had fallen to 500,

QUALITIES OF AN IDEAL WOMAN.

.HE ideal women according to
the countess OF Jersey must pos
- sess the following four qualities
patience, tact, foresight and unseif-
ishness. The countess recently read a
paper before a gathering OF working
girls In London in which she said these
qualities were Of inestimable value to
women, and laid much stress upon the
Importance Of home life, its influence
both upon the individual and the ma
ton at large.
She paid tribute to the home life
of England, which she claimed was
proverbial for its purity and comfort.
all of which was due to the excellent
qualities of the women. She declared
herself as opposed to those who said
that II a woman was a good daughter.
wife and mother that was all that
should be expected of her. as nova
days women must take part in citizen
ship, especially when the interests Of
the women comes into consideration.
The countess believes that the Ideal
woman should be a club woman, and
through the intercourse Of club mem
bership. especially through fedora
lions, women will broaden their views
and knowledge will be acquired which
cannot help leading to the betterment
Of all classes of society.
