ADANGEROUS WOMAN.

Penelope Penfeather," who has an Interesting column in the Boston Her aid, has got 8 description of Mrs. Rog- CTS, the Vermont murderer, from a woman friend, and perhaps it is worth attention. Her chief characteristic" says the describer, lis excessive ego tism and personal vanity. Indeed, dur ing her Brattleboro trip her chief thought was the impression she would make. Her dress the arrangement of her hair, were vital matters to her. She is what I would call 8 dangerous woman, owing to a certain subtle fas- cination which she undoubtedly pos- sesses over low order of men, It is an inherent quality which she has nat urally without any trouble of acquir- ing. Her black eyes have a fashion of contracting and dilating like those of a serpent when charming a victim. To me she is utterly -epellant, in spite of the pity l could not help teellng for her, as one woman must feel for another in such mortal stress I didn't want her hanged, but feel that she should be shut up out of any possibility of mis- chief, for mischief she will do if she has any degree of liberty. She Is dan gerous to the welfare of any commit nifty, and should not be allowed beyond the limits of the prison wall or the guarded inclosure of an insane asy- lum.'
 This seems likely to be at least mild ly true. Mrs. Rogers has certainly shown herself to be a dangerous woman.

THE pEoNs OF OLD MExico.

The Mexican peon Is the backbone of the Republic. Without him the great landed estates, or haciendas, would lie in idleness, while agricultural and Icommerical interests would stagnate. Of cast-iron constitution, he can endure, apparently without effort, the hardest sort of drudgery. His energy
 comes from a diet that consists chiefly of ground peppers, beans or frijoles
 and large quantity of tortiIas. He works from six to six, enjoying in the meantime his two simple meals. In
 general the Indian farm laborers are iof submissive and respectful disposi- tion. Like the negroes of the South, they are not far from the main build ing, so as to be OF hand, whenever their services are required. They us- iually insist, however on celebrating their holidays, which lessens their real usefulness about 25 per cent. The
 holidays are numerous and afford the llaborer frequent opportunities to quaff from the stupefying pulque bowl. Their
 stock of surplus change is not apt to be excessive; it cannot be when most
 of them receive but little over twenty
 cents day. Field hands in the States of Guanjuato, Michoacans and Quere-

4 GREAT WEEK.

This has been a great week for Yale. Such weather as has been handed out is rarely seen. even in this glorious cli- mate. Such a wad of money as has been handed out is rarely seen in these parts. Such fun and gayety are not common around here. Neither is such a baseball score. And we are glad to be able to say that such a victory as Yale had at New London yesterday is not the regular thing. It was too close for comfort, and the performances in the forenoon were not close enough for comfort. But, however. Alls well that ends well, and the big race ended well.
 Ali may not be gold that glitters, but the Yale glitter is conspicuous this year and it indicates genuine things. Perhaps New Haven ought to be proud enough of Yale not to say much about taxes for awhile.

taro receive a cuartillo of corn in ad- ditioB to their wages of twelve cents a day. One haeiendada who voluntarily raised the wages of his hands to eigh- teen cents a day found himself with out labOrers for two days of the week.
 As the extra wages supplied living
 means for the entire week, what was the need of working?
 These laborers are of all sizes and ages; but whether young or old, all
 bear alike upon their brow the depres- sing and degrading leathern thong that makes of them beasts of burden. The effect of this customary strap on the shape of the head is seen in fact that the peons, the country over, have peak-shaped heads, tending toward Ithe shape Of the pointed hat. The sup ply of laborers is, so to speak, peren- Eia!. The young muchacho receives
 his training in watching the sheep and
 the goats. acting as messenger, or prodding the burros in the pack-train. When he is about sixteen years old, he takes his place with the regular laborers, and begins to cast his eye about for a helpmate. The wife may prove useful, and earn a small wage
 at some such operation as sowing seed.
 Her life will be a monotous one. A
 strip of cloth serves as dress and skirt. strip of leather provides 3

 clothing for the boys is even as simple. All that is required is jorongo,

is expeqFa to be accomplished through e saucation of the negro? What shf ful education do for race? That is easstion which is constantly being as and especially 8 question which th people of our country are yitally fl efested in in it's application to the DE man in this country. Edu- cation is of little value for any race, except as t is used in manner to in crease human usefulness and human happiness
 'The nesto race needs professional men-college and university graduates. It needs people thoroughly skilled and educated ln the various industries up- on which the masses of our people de- pend for. sustenance.
 Education should help the negro to become reliable in his labor. The charge is constantly brought against us that we cannot be depended upon as laborers for continuous service; that if the wage is paid on Saturday night. the employer is never certain that any large proportion of the labor CTS will return on Monday morning; that many will not return until the last cent has been spent. Our leaders should see to it that our people are constantly taught to shake off and get rid of the Unfortunate habit. The dis position to move year by year from one plantation to another, from one com munity to another, is of little advant- age to use.
 NO one should seek to hide the fact that the race labors under certain dis advantages. At the same time, when all conditions of life are considered, I do not hesitate to say that, as far as my experience and observation are concerned, the negro has better chance to work out his salvation here in the Souththan in any portion of this or any other country. In point of ma terial possessions, in education, in moral and religious growth, we can- not find in the world s,0O0,OOO of color ed people Who are so far ahead as is true of the SOOO,0OO here in the South ern States.
