WOMAN A ND T HE HOME, ft«*s Tendencies o f H l |h w E d u c a tio n— It Im proves In s te a d o f lo w e r s th e Status of D om estlo Life, • •‘The hotter trained women of the fq- taro will have their sorrows, but half a i, too misery of our generation goes | | «through lack of pursuit; unfitness for ' '' any bocause of the dofeotive mental training we have had ..,..... .There is a hotter time coming*—I shall not see it, but i sm glad to have seen its dawn,” So wrote Mrs. William Smith, more than twenty years ago, from her own stand-point of loving, holpful wifehood and self*supporting, reliant womanhood. Since these words were penned, so many college doora have been opened to woman- in both England and Amer­ ica, and so many industrial avenue* are being opened out upon their paths , that men, especially those-of the. Mr. Grant Allen order of mind, fearing tha t theiv untried eyes may be dazzled by -the sud­ den flash of light, are crying out in dis­ may that this brilliant vista may unfit women for domestic life with its: bum­ bler cares and joys. • ^ It does not seem to havo been admit­ ted In any court of justice that a man is a better husband, father or citizen be­ cause bo is ignorant, yet this’ theory ' with regard to woman seems to lie .at the base of most arguments against her superior education. One person states that the cultivated woman ha»' less heart than the uncultivated, as if heart wore a quality to be trained out of peo­ ple as the green color is bleached Cut of head lettuco; another claims that she has lost her taste for domestlo pursuits, while a third urges that, she is less like­ ly to marry. And this, whilei educated womon all over the land are entering heart and soul Into schemes for the im­ provement of the race, are reducing housekeeping to something approaching a fine art, while those Interested in col­ leges for women are deploring the fact that useful- women presidents and pro­ fessor^ will' allow themselvoB to be drawn.lnto matrimony to tho manifest detriment of the Institutions over which they preside. Bather should we find cause for rejoicing in this fact, that higher education is not opposing itself to natur,o but joining hands with it in its nobler demands, proving that it means not simply preparation :for col­ lege or school teaching, but training for life with all its varied duties and inter­ ests. Doubtless such education, by ren­ dering women self-reliant and self-sup­ porting, prevents their marrying for a home or a living, which ighoblo motive has been a more or less potent factor In promoting marriage; but while thus in­ terfering with some marriages,, does it not immeasurably raise tho plane of. married life? I An age that demands something more of its male geniuses than that they shall go through life with their eyes on the stars, or on a folio, while their foot tread ruthlessly upon the conventionalities of life, or upon the sensibilities of tbeir .follow"travelers, should grasp tho equal­ ly pertinent truth that any ono-sideded­ ucation of women, whether purely in­ tellectual or sololy domestic, or exclu­ sively othical -is unsatisfactory and in­ complete, Mon should be quite as in­ tolerant of tvinsomo Doras and Noras who servo badly cooked dinnors to their households and forge checks, as they are of femin^no philanthropists and blues who dine upon Africa, with ten envelopes in the gravy, and sup lipon sonnets to the moon, while neglected husbands and children browse a t large. The principal reason why men are more lenient toward the former elasa than the latter, is that they are oonscious of being, to a oertain extent, responsible for the foot that Dora snd Nora are ig­ norant play-things, the out-oome of a time-worn masculine theory that pretti- ness is all, while with regard to the evo­ lution of the female philanthropist and blue, men have had nothing whatever to do, never having in. tbalr wildest dreams of progress wished them to be. They know that they have, like David Copporfleld, kissed away the tears of their doll wives when the accounts would not come out right and that they have sneered and qulSsSd when they havo seen women trying to learn how the accounts could be made to come out right While Twrite, the picture rises before me cf a home whose mistress reaches out a helping hand toward many schemes of philanthropy, guilds for working-women, neighborhood guilds, and clubs for the enlightenment of woman in her own sphere, of life, yet who.finds the highest work for band snd brain in the aweet inclosure of tier own walls, where charac ter and health am being bu ilt up for future usefulness snd enjoyment, A woman who Is capa­ ble of solving abstruse mathematical problems, or of grasping still rhore in­ volved questions of social reform, yet who brings her trained mind to bear up­ on small and great questions of house­ hold economy, who studies the hygienic properties of food and insists that her children shall have no pudding until they have eaten a certain amount of mealv who reads political economy be­ cause her daughter is studying it *t Col­ lege, who teaches her children noble lessons by means of mottoes painted up­ on the wails by her own bands, and fchoso playful fancy decorates the wash- *:snd «f her little girls with afrrewsome Ufagon whose mission is to remind them «f their morning and evening duty to teeth, surely combine* the ideal tnd the practical in he? dally life in A wimp? that would be quite impossible tea woman of less briadth and culture. Mush of woman’s service is severely practical, dealing as It does with the constantly recurring necessities of the hour. The ordering of dinners and sup­ pers, tho cleaning of silver and the dust­ ing of furniture, the making and patch­ ing ofgarments, seem to fill Up the reper* toire of many a woman’s days, but she' who by her wider outreach and her higher mental' training is able to make of her home a seed bed of aspiration rather than a mere haven for rest and a granary for food is working toward the truest development of family life. Not toward tho destruction of the homo, but toward the development of suoh homos as this, is the higher education of wom­ an tending; homes where the food will, not bo less savory, or the beds lesa com­ fortable, or the floors less highly polish­ ed because the woman wbopresidea over its material interests brings into their arrangement a mind trained by habits of study and thought, to usp .and value time, who so prizes' culture th a t she cheerfully foregoes some superfluous flounces and embroidery upon her chil­ dren's garments for the sake of gaining coveted leisure for reading, yet who does not grudge time to,the minutest de­ tails of the domestic economy because she realizes, with her larger mental vision, their outcome in health and character, and reooghizes that in the ■humbler links of the ohain of daily service lie Heaven’s evangel to the race," as truly as In suoh ministry a s th a t of the Elizaboth Frys, the Florence Nightingales^ and the Sister Doras.— Anne H.

Frau­ leln Von Chsuvin, having been prevent­ ed through ill-health fromgoing th,rough the regular school routine, including languages, has concentrated ail her in­ terest in the study and observation of animal and vegetable life. She has, by her ingenious experiments uid discov­ eries, proved herself a natural scientist of the first-class, and enjoys a wide and general reputation as such. Her a viary is a regular Noah’s ark where she, as she says, by her love forces the most different animals to live peaceably together. Vultures, pigeons, ravens.owls, fowls, a parrot, a stork, peacocks, ducks, etc,, all get on together in the best pos­ sible manner, and know and obey tho. voice of their mistress. A Siamese cat has its quartors in the same cage aB some Egyptian rats; but they tako no notice of each other. Fraulein von Chau- vin’s collection of butterflies is tho most perfect in Germany. Also within the vegetable world this gifted lady has wroiight many wonders, and she has reared flowersand seeds where no botanic garden has succeeded. Her health does not allow her to read or write much; but one or two of her treatises have attract­ ed great attention.—London Queen. IN T H E INDU S TR IA L FIELD . A DLOcnof admirably arranged houses for working women is being orected at Bedford Park, a suburb of London. I t is impossible for a woman to suc­ ceed in New York as a stenographer who does not know something of every thing pertaining tobusiness, A woman first established in 'the Islo of Harr,is tho wool weaving industry, which is now so lucrative to the natives. Four hundred womon are omployod in spinning, dyeing and. weaving tho cloth so appreciated now for tailor gowns and general costumes and wraps for real ser­ vice. T hkiie are how 130 women in tho Bor- lin telephone exchanges. It has been decided to use only womon in future, as it has been found that tholr voices are much more audlblo than men’s, owing to the higher pitch. Tho men previously engaged havo not been discharged, but have boon gradually drafted off to dif­ ferent work. In one of tho smallest ex­ changes there are fifty womon working eight hours a day, only the chief snd In­ specting staff being men. A V ienna correspondent aaya: “One- third of all the poatand telegraph clerks and all tho telephone clerks, as well as the teachers in girls’ schools, are wom­ en. Lately a lady oculist, Frsu Dr. Kerschbaumer, of Salzburg, was allowed to open a hospital of ber own. School teachers aro welt paid, their salaries ranging from $300 to 5500. A largo pro-: portion come from noble families and thoseof officers and governmontofflclals. The position of governess, on the con­ trary, is much disliked. T iiekk are. says tho Churchman, fow trades and professions now which wom­ en have not entered. The last census gave a return of 347 women blacksmiths in tho United Kingdom, over 10,000 women book-binders, over 3,000 women printers, about 134,000 women teachers, About 2,300 civil service womon clorks, over 1,100 women painters, nearly 3S,000 women engaged in medical work, nurs­ ing, etc., nearly 500 editors, compilers and authors, and morn than 1,300 en­ gaged in various departments of. photog­ raphy.

THEBATTLE FIELD. plans of longstreet * fipaaeli bjr th e DU tlngulihedl Houtharn G eneral a t th e R eunion o f tlta Illu e an il th e G ray, a t Knoxville; T enn.—A Mia. ta k e T h a t D ispelled th e L i l t Chance o f C onfederate Sneceaa- A few days after tho battle of Chick*- maugk, the President of the Confederate States visited our array, then camped about Chattanooga holding the Federal army under partial siege. During that visit Mr. Davis called tho superior offi­ cers of the Confederacy then present to­ gether in council of war to discuss our affairs, and on one occasion asked our opinions as to tho most promising plaiv for further aggressive operations. It is important in this narrative that it should be here explained that prior to the consultation -referred to he called me alono to meet him, and that this in­ terview lasted the greater part of the day. The point made 'during our. con­ ference that should be noted hero is the opinioh expressed by myself, that our failure to vigorously pursue the Fedor- als after our success at Chtckamauga and reap the full fruits of our victory dis­ pelled our last and only chance for tho triumph of the Confederate oauae. At the meeting first mentioned Mr. Jefferson Davis inquired for suoh plans as his commanding officers might sug- -ges^forourfuturopperations. The pfan* suggested by myself was then to withdraw, from Chattanooga, change our base to1Borne, Ga., and ad- yanco by Bridgeport and Stevenson, Ala., and out the lino of Federal sup­ plies, etc. Mr. Davis gave orders for the execution of that plan, but just then a severe season of rain' began, whloh continued'and rendered the roads very heavy, and very bad. In consequence thereof our commander abandoned the proposition and held to his position at Chattanooga After some weeks, whe^n the weather ciearedL off and furnished us good .roads, a camp r umor roachedme that General Bragg contemplated a movement into East Tennessee against the Fedorals about Knoxville, and that part of my command had been selected as a detachmont that was to execute the Dlan.. ; About November 4, Bragg summoned Generals Hardee, Breckinridge and my­ self to bis headquarters and announced his purpose to detach my tropps from' Virginia With most of its cavalry into East Tonnossoo to attack and drive out the Fodorals under General Burnsidea Having outlinod his plan, bo paused as if invltingsuggestions, when 1'proposed, as a moans of facilitating his, purpose or amending bis plan, that he withdraw his army from Chattanooga and concen­ trate in a strong.position behind tho Chickainauga river, and at the same time withdraw his troops from. East Tonnossoo to tho main force. Then at the moment of concentration, having all things in roadlnoBS for prompt move­ ment, detach twenty thousand men into East Tennessee to march rapidly and striko promptly so as to finish tho work in timo to return or go into Kentucky, as tho Chief might deom best before tho troops of General Grant’s army, then un­ der orders to roinforco tho Fedorals at Chattanooga, could roach tlioir destina­ tion. As tho suggestion- failed to moot tho consideration I thought it deserved, I continued and explained t he apparent danger of sending so smalT a force for such heavy work and for action that should bo speedy, while our army at Chattanooga was holding long lines and attenuated along a grand ourvo, with the enomy in the center and within thirty minutes’ march of any point of our occupation. • The number of Fedaral troops in East Tonnossoo our chief reported as 23,000, and the force assigned for my opera­ tions against them was estimated at about 15,000. I insisted that my force was wholly inadequate to warrant dar­ ing or precipitate battlQ and that tho procrastination of a prudent campaign would give time for the arrival of Gen- oral Grant’s succoring forces, and that upon bis arrival he would march out two.or three columns of attack and feint and would surely break through our position. Nothing said, however, seem­ ed to impress the officers present, so I went over the matter and added that our text-books at West Point and tho axio­ matic military principles admonishod of the strength of the B’cderal position after tho arrival of thoir succoring forces and tho consequent peril of our position; that their column could lie re­ inforced in a few minutes, whllo along our lines reinforcements from ono point to another might he delayed for many hours. Our chief apparently thought It improbable that his line could be broken, and .plainly indicated that further discussion of tho subject would bo useless. Tho only favorable com­ ment upon my views was from General Hardee, who said: “1 don’t think that was a bad idea of Longstrcct’s.” 1was overruled and orders were issued for tho movement. While camp was being struck I wrote some of my Comrades from tho ' head of an empty flour barrel in tho rain, excus­ ing my failure to call and tako leave. I wrote to General Buckner giving him my view of the situation, and three months afterward ho returned my letter to me with the following note: • "M orkistowh , Term., F«1>. 1, ISM.—General: It seems to me after reading this letter again that Its predictions are eo full a vindication of the judgment of your movement* then ordered that it should remain In your possession with a view that a t Some future day It may serve to Wladlcate the truth of history.* 1 place It at yoer disposal with that view, Truly your fdand, -g , r , SccRHKit, MaJ. Gen, “To Lleut-Gen Loagstreet," Out'move was ragged, aUtuhod and disconnected from the beginning. At Tyner’s Station wo wero .delayed by failure of the railroad transportation. General Stephenson, who was in com­ mand of the confederates there, occupy­ ing part of East Tennessee a t Sweet­ water and other points, was ordered to send all of his supplies down to the army a t Chattanooga and to withdraw with his troops upon my arrival at Sweetwater; while we, strangers to the country, without accurate maps and with inadequate transportation, were to operate against and pverrun a much superior force, woll supplied and- equip­ ped, and knowing the fastnesses of the mountainous country. We Were to meet at Knoxville ample re-lnforcemonts from Southwest Virginia, whloh were to equalize our strength, in numbers, with the Federate. Immediately upon relieving General Stephenson’s troops my plan was formed to cross the east branch of the Tennessee river above the confluence, advance along the east bank of themorth fork, and gain pos­ session of the heights about KnoxviUo and command a surrender of tho place. Our troops were arranged in position, McLaws on the right,, Jenkins on the Clinton road, deployed, and tho cavalry that was in hand' was sent to our ex­ treme left to hold the enemy till the ar­ rival of tho promised force from South­ west Virginia.. . Tho next morning ,the enemy’s outer line, about a thousand yards in fron^of his works,, was found to bo strengthened by rail dofonses thrown' up during the night. This was attacked, oarrlod, and occupied by McLaws; but his troops wore no much jaded and sofoot-sore that they did not exhibit their' usual! dash and' spirit. It waa not many days be­ fore flying, distressing rumors reached ua of anticipated; trouble to Gonoral Bragg’s main force. He sent General Leadbetter up with two brigades to re­ inforce, with others to attaok the eno- my’s works. Divested of all discretion it then' seemed a point of honor that the assault must ’be made. Aftor re­ ceiving tho instructions conveyed by General Leadbetter, and explaining t<r him tho condition of our affairs, I con­ sented, if he could find the point which he could say was really assailable, the att :k might be made. His first idea was to attack on the Northwest, and Genoral Jenkins, commanding in that quarter, with General E. P. Alexander, my Chief of Artillery, wore ordored to assist Goneral Leadbotter in his recon- rioisance. After a more thorough ex­ amination he determined upon Fort Saundors as the most assallablo and or­ ders wore accordingly issued. 1 met Major Goggin, of McLaw’s Di­ vision staff, riding' down from tho fort, who reportod to mo'that It was entirely useless for tho troops to go on, as tho works wero so strongly protected by net­ work of wire that thoy could not force thoir way in. Upon this report 1 order­ ed a recall. Goneral H. B. Johnson, who waa marching with his troops at my-sido.obogged that ho bo.allowed to go on, but, accepting Major Goggin’s in­ formation as reliable, 1 ordered him to march his troops back to camp. Gonoral Andorson’s troops wore so far advanced that thoy reached the ditch before the recall was given hint, and he sustained sovoro loss before ho coiild disongago his men. Subsequent information loavos very little room to doubt of our success had we pushed our ordors to the end. Tho following day a bearer of dis- patchos from Genoral Grant to General Burnsido was capturod, having an auto­ graph letter from the former to the lat­ ter, stating that three column* were then en route to auccor tho lattor—one by the aouth aide, one by Durham, and one by Cumberland Gap, under Genorala Sherman, Elliott and Foater, ' Upon the approach'of Genoral Sherman we drew off, marched around to the southwest, up the west branch of tho Holston to look aftor the column reported coming via the Cumberland Gap. The day after leaving Knoxville the infantry, ao long expected from Southwest Virginia, mot us on our march. A t Bogersvllle our column halted and our trains wero sent in search of supplies. On the 12th of December we were informed that the column under Goneral Sherman had be­ gun to countermarch and was on its way hack to Genoral Grant The next day we countermarched and moved hack, hoping to take up some of tho troops that bad ventured out In pursuit of ua RANDOM SHO TS .
