TO YOUNG WOMEN.
A Buncombe Girl's Views of Female
Culture.
I want to talk awhile to the young
women of the South, the bright, intelli
gent girls just out of school, who are be
ginning to consider what further study
is necessary in order to become useful
women ; and the young wives and moth
ers who mean to give to the world the
influence of happy homes. I wish, es
pecially, to have the attention of busy
young women, of women who work, and
who expect to work, whether in the daily
rounds of precious household tasks, or
at some occupation chosen as a means of
support or independence".
You have proved by your school rec
ord that you have bright, appreciative
minds, responding with healthy enthu
siasm to the demands of knowledge and
art. Some have acquired a taste for
facts, historical and scientific, and some
have tleveloped a habit of reflection, of
independent thought, the noblest aim of
a liberal education. Some have discov
ered some special taste or talent, as for
music or painting, and may wisely de-
termine to make that your chief study.
When you have done this, determine to
be satisfied with nothing short of perfec
tion in that study. Having made this
vow, you have done much to fortify
yourself against age and satiety. Life is
never a burden to that person who is
self-devoted to some art or profession.
But whether or not you must cultivate
some special taste or-talent, do not give
to one study the whole of the time you
have allotted to self-improveoient. Sci
ence has taught you that the mind, like
the body, in order to a healthy growth,
must have' vigorous daily exercise ; and
that this exercise must put to use every
faculty of the mind, lest it grow out of
that order and beautiful proportion that
alone can please God, and that he has
set a- hi 4 seal of approval and delight
upon all created things.
What can better furnish regular men
tal exercise than the study of the present
condition of our country? of its history,
and the causes that have made it what it
a ' . 1 1 1 . 1
is,
supreme among tne enngntenea na-
tions of the world? of the principles of I
its government, sprung from the heart
of a noble people, on the struggle to re
concile loyalty and honor with tyrant'
and oppression ? of the problems that
must be solved before we can reasonably
hope for a future of continuous growth
and prosperity ?
I know well the general opinion as to
woman s taking any interest in pontics.
I know how lo"dly men proclaim against
it, adding, by way of consolation for the
ignorance they thrust upon us, that we
are perfect as we are, and queens in our
own right. But they do not really mean
what they say They are but phrases,
these flattering tributes to woman's ig
norance, that, like a campaign song,
have caught the ear, by no merit of sense
or justice. Yet, we have been queens,
though rarely in a despotic sense, but,
rather, in the sense of lovins: service.
Very dear to us women is this royal pow-
er, and the noble praise that has fallen
even to the lowliest among us. And
shall we risk the loss of what is so dear
and precious? Yes, if risk there be,
that we may hold in truth and justice
that power that else may cease to exist
but in memory or prophecy ; that we
may prove,
in the face of scorn and op
position, the depths and heights of that
devotion that has been the inspiration of

lar with her woman's power to bless and
beautify, and to train her children for
God and her country, instructing them
in the beliefs and principles which their
fathers have established in toil and hard-
ship, and which they are ever ready to
defend with their life-blood.
There can be no steadv, continuous
prosperity for a nation whose women
are encouraged to choose ignorance as a
part tf their womanliness. There must
be a cleaner, purer erovernment. when
woman brings her mind religious by
nature, more virtuous from habit and
environment to bear upon the problems
that are baffling the wisest men, and
driving them to almost superhuman ef
forts to avert the evils which threaten
the existence of the republic.
In time of war, since Spartan days,
women have always proved that dearer
than life and happiness is their fidelity
to truth and honor, their devotion to the
land of their birth. Shall these virtues
languish in time of pesce ? Is home less
dear because within its walls are peace
and security ? - Do not that peace and
that security depend on the intelligence
of the inmates ?
This is an argument for woman's
rights, for woman's obligations; not the
right of suffrage, though that may in the
line of progress. It is a simple declara
tion of the duty that rests upon all wo
men of acquiring such knowledge as
shall prepare them to fill most v:iselv
that position which has ever been the
source of their highest honor and praise,
as the wives and mothers of men.

! The Three C's Road.
Col. Frank Coxe, president of the
Three C's railroad, upon being asked
what effect the failure of Barker Bros
of Philadelphia, would have upon the
progress of work on the Three C's re
plied that Barker Bros, held some of the
bonds of the road, but a very small pro
portion. He heard further that it was
thought in Philadelphia that Barker
Bros, would get on their feet ag ain.
"You can say also," said the Colonel,
that I have heard of no difficulties to
the railway growing out of this failure,
and if any existed therefrom, I, as presi
dent, would have been likely to hear of
it."

He Has Gone to Chapel Hill to Study
Law He Favors Crisp, of Geor
gia, for Speaker.
From the Daily Citizen of the 22nd we
get the following: i ,
Hon. W. T. Crawford arrived in Ashe
ville yesterday afternoon, on his way to
the University at Chapel Hill. He was
in the best of health and spirits, and
looked much better than when the worry
and fatigue of the late campaign were
fresh upon him.
GOING TO CITAPEI HILL.
"I shall go to the University," said Mr.
Crawford, "and review the law course
before applying for license to practice,
which I expect to do about February 1
I shall then go to Washington and re
main until Congress adjourns, fn order
that I may observe the workings of that
body."
IN FAVOR OF CRISP FOR SPEAKER.
"I am inclined to favor Crisp, of Geor
gia, in the speakership fight," he contin
ued. "I agree with The Citizen when it
says that to refuse to vote for a man
trom tne boutn simply because ne is
from that section, is, to a certain extent,
an acknowledgement that that fact is a
disqualification, and I am unalterably
opposed to making any such concession.
There will certainly be a Southern man
in the race, and I shall vote for him,
whether it be Judge Crisp or some" other
equally as capable. The Southern rep
resentatives have long been acting upon
the idea that it is good policy to keep
our leading men in the rear, and I think
the time has come for the South to pro
ceed upon the principle that this is one
country, and allow men to stand upon
their merit, regardless1 of the section or
state from which they' come.
VANCE WILL BE RE-ELECTED.
I have no doubt as to the re-election
of Senator Vance, notwithstanding the
fact that some of the prominent Alli-
ancemen of the State have said - that the
Alliance members of the legislature will
not support any man" who is opposed to
the sub treasury" bill. Senator Vance's
position with reference to that measure
was as well known during the late can
vass as now, ana tnose men were eiectea
1 . 1 A 3
with the distinct understanding that
they were to vote for him, and they can
not afford to ero' counter to the will of
the people who selected them in this
important matter, and they never would
have received the votes of the people if
they had declared their opposition to
Vance before the election. . . '
HE HAS HEARD FZOM MR. EWART.
"Yes, I have heard from Mr. Ewart
since the election. He wrote me a very
pleasant letter congratulating me most
cordially on my election, and expressing
his gratification- that nothing had oc
curred during the canvass to interrupt
the friendly personal relations which
have always existed between us. Mr
Ewart is now in Washington."
Mr. Crawford left on the midnight
train for Chapel Hill.
