THE NEW NORTHWEST, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1881. TECHNICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN. "Stacy," the Washington correspondent of the Woman's Journal, writes of the recent Senatorial debate on the bill to establish colleges for indus trial and technical education : Suggestions for industrial education come largely from the newer States of the West and trom the bouth. The amendment of Senator .Morgan, of Alabama, was especially interestiiiR as coming from that section that has been used to most conservative ideas concerning the sphere of men. He proposed "to require each State and Territory to establish in laid colleges, schools for the instruction of females in such branches of leohnical education as are suitable to their sex." Mr. Jones, of Florida, objected mildly that this biu was mainly important as a means of "enlight enfog that portion of the American people who were intrusted with the duties and powers of gov ernment," and that its value would be weakened "by taking away this fund from the education of the male portion of our population and devoting it to the education of femxles." Mr. Morgan re sponded in a manner worthy of the once-famed chivalry of the South. Said he : "I do not think we shall ever have any men in this country who are worth anything, unless they have good moth ers. If I wanted to improve the stock of the American people, I should address my efforts first to the improvement of their mothers. I think I should be able to secure a much better develop ment through the education and improvement of tthe women of this land, than could possibly be done by bestowing all we could possibly accumu late on the beads of the men of the present gener ation. We have a great many well-edu-cated, thoroughly-trained, beautifully-accom-jplished women in the United States, who ought lo have the means of supporting themselves .-almost to an equal degree with the wisest nd strongest and best-tutored men in the land without the necessity of being compelled to follow .after .some drunken fellow who calls her wife, and daking at his hands what he may be disposed to iiestow upon her as a gratuity or as an act of char ity. Mr. President, we shall not have even the men of this country thoroughly well educated, and imbued with genuine, manly principles, until means are provided whereby the women can live. Loud applause in several watching hearts. Look at the crowds of elegant ladies who come here from all parts of the United States for the purpose of getting employment in the Govern ment departments. We ought to provide for them in some other way than by putting them upon tiie mercy of politicians. Th very influx of these ladies proves some serious infirm ity in the very groundwork of our educational .system." " It is a new epoch in the history of civilized States, it is worthy of Athens, that a Senate gives up a week to deliberating on popular education. The Bureau of Education informs mo that where there is the desire to institute technical training for use and not for the glory of exhibiting one more snowy "branch," it can be eilecteu in a very simple, inexpensive, but valuable manner. George Francis Train. A correspondent of the Congrcgaiionalist tells how George Francis Train ruralizes in New York City. On one of the settees in Madison Square, swarthy, bare-headed, arrayed in faded nankeen in Summer, and blue flannel in Spring and Autumn, he reclines through all the not too stormy days, reading newspapers, writing, talking at all times, the trusted guardian of toys and extra garments of the children little girls m jmrtieular who matte the square their play-ground. With these he is iue inosi popular until living, rur si a. urs aim more this settee lias been bis home, though he spends his nights in a little room at the top of some houf-e, the location of which he will tell no one, and whose custodian he says lie has not seen for three years. He has eaten but one meal a day, a breakfast of cereals and fruit, with collco; never tasting fish, llesh, fowl, eggs, milk, butter, nor any foods than those first named ; nor does ho ever desiie others. He never wears under-gar-meuts, and appears, as he claims to be, indifferent to changes of weather. Underneath his suttee, witli his straw hat, always lies a badly-defaced wallet of ancient form, plethoric with its literary productions in prose and verse, on a great vari ety of topics, mainly passing events of the day, and his pencil does sharply pierce not a few vul nerable persons and things. These pieces lie kindly reads to such as ask to hear ; but he says no paper dares to print more than one of them; "if it did, they would bust it to Hinders." Angus M. Smith, one of Sir John Franklin's companions in the Arctic regions, lives in Cleve land, Ohio. Smith says that he left England in the Terror, the companion ship of the Erebus, and managed to reach the Devil's Thumb. The vessel landed broadside against the Ice banks, and was thrown entirely out of the water. His party remained in that region for two years. He finally returned to England, and wanted to go with Franklin on his last trip, but his wife persuaded him to give up the notion.

As only about two in a hun dred live, an early extermination of these birds is probable. A Florida paper suggests that a law be enacted forbidding the capture of young mocking- uirus. "SaV.

Her heels ilew up, hor head went down, And struck upon the Ice, Displaying both her striped hose, Which surely was not nlee. She Jumped up quickly on her fcot, And said she did not care; But on the hose a card was seen, Marked "Fifteen cents n pair." Sfuikspcure. NOT FOIt JOE. Tho thrush In the thicket Is singing, The lark Is abroad on tho lea, And over tho garden gate swinging A maldon Is waiting for mo. She will wait till she's weary, I'm thinking, Though eager I am for the tryst; She will wait till the bright stars are blinking, And sigh for the kisses she missed.
