Cooking, Sweeping and Intellect.

According to Miss THOMAS. president
of Bryn Mawr College, women should
be willing to cook and dust if it is neces-
sary, but they should realize that it is
not an intellectual occupation, and on
deavor To broaden the mental horizon. "
The moral and even religious quality of
sweeping done in the right spirit was
asserted by GEORGE HERBERT in lines
which have been quoted to DEATH and
the artstic and intellectual side Of sweep
ing is obvious enough to men, whether
1t is To women or not, Compare the
clumsy, careless, slatternly, unscientific,
eye-of!ending bunglcr the BOBBY at the
bosom, raising dust storms, with neat
handed PHYLLIS, delicate and dexterous.
As an athletic exercise, even, sweeping
is held in high esteem and vainly COM
mendcd 10 soft Campanian lollers by
testy old physicians. For the cultivation
of bodily grace and strength and SYM
metry Of arm, this womanly art excels
many more pretentious forms Of sport !:
and we should hate TO believe that il
isn't more intellectual pursuit than
most reading of books or hearing Of
club essays.
IL cooking is not an intellectual occu-
patton, what occupation is intellectual?
In importance. physical mental and
moral, what other art or craft comes
anywhere near it? As the human ma
chine is stocked so will it go. The good
old habit Of cannibalism. now disappear
ing fast, may have received too many
fanciful touches in its long course and
development, but it was founded upon
early observation and reached the dig
nifty of science. 1t may be considering
too curiously to consider that a man
must not eat hare lest he grow oowardly
and that lon-steak will make him brave.
A warriors heart may not impart his
qualities to the victorious chief who
ioasts upon it. There are pueriltics and
dogmatisms in almost every system;
but something of tho sincere milk of
truth flows from these doctrines of the
anthropophagi. They were the first, or
among the first, to see the power of diet
upon the constitution and the morals.
The Indebtedness of progress to the long
pig stage of culture will yet be admitted
gratefully.

We think the writer Of this letter is in
error in his premises and assert ions
There is no eternal conflict between
law and justice, for the common law il
just, and nearly all our statutory law is
not in contravention Of equitable prin-
ciples. Nor can it for one moment be
maintained that in this country the rich
can buy law, while the poor must suffer.
The Constitution was framed and the
laws are enacted for rich and poor alike;
u
trials any discrimination. the tendency
is to favor the poor man and to discrmi-
nate against the rich. for juries often
find against corporations and against
wealthy individuals merely because such
defendants are assumed to be rich.
When we consider the Molineux case.
the suggestion Of our disgruntled corre-
spondent. that the result would have
been different if Gen. MoLINEUx had
been unable to meet the expense imposed
on him, would seem absurd, and with
out any basis in fact
II MoLINEUx's family had been too
poor to employ counsel the Court would
have assigned counsel to defend him.
and the Court of Appeals would have
reversed the judgment Of conviction.
because of the admission of improper
and incompetent evidence, even though
that distinguished lawyer, JOIN g.
MILBURN Of Buffalo, had not argued
the appeal before that great court: and
the jury, on the second trial, would
doubtless have brought in the same
verdict of acQuttal even though the
