(iiriTYsiit iui. Aug. yi! A number of gentle
men met at the Springs this morning, and visited
the Apple Orchard, Coach Orchard, Wheatflcld,
Bound Ton. nnd intermediate points, occupied :
respectively by the troops of the '2A, 3d, 5th and
tit h corps, and two divisions of the 1st. The '
party consisted of (ienerals (iraham, Kobinson, i
licYcreatix, Jiingham, Hunt, Dana, Sweetzer,
Medill, Webl), Newton. Stannard, (iat.es, Uax
ter, Duff and McCallister; Colonels Hums I
ami liauku, and other military ollicers: and
also civilians, tonclher with members of
the Hatlle-field Memorial Hoard. The positions
of the above-named corps were lixed, and
about twelve hours wen; spent in the work. The
parly were in wagons and on foot, and over one
hundred stakes were driven at important points.
Some of the inot intricate iiestions, about
which there had been varying opinions, were
delinitely settled. The places where Sickles,
Hancock, and (iraham were, wounded and others
killed were designated. The only spot where
nicn were killed with bayonets, on either side,
to any extent, was carefully examined and
marked. A number of the most prominent (iuue
rals and other ( llicers, who participated in the
battle in the woods and fields, nnd on the hill
sides, on the ground examined to-day, were
present on the occasion, (ieneral Hill, of the
Second Maine, has fixed the position of his bat
tery, which (. pcned the battle on tho lirst day,
to he rinht of the barn on the front ridge, be
tween the Cashtown road and the railway cut.
A number of ollicers who participated in the
lirst two days' light left here this morning, tho
several positions of their commands having been
lixed on the field. The general lines of the third
day's battle will be staked to-morrow.
The marble statue representing ''Plenty" was
to-day placed on the monument in the Soldiers'
Cemetery. The remaining corner will be occu
pied by that of '-Peace." The statues of "War"
ami "History" have for some time been in posi

Novels are not more eagerly devoured by
the unthinking multitude than the clap-trap
written in the present day about women.
Pope's famous line, "And fools rush in where
angels fear to tread," can be so fitly applied
to no other kind of criticism, and naturally
enough, as it requires little else but audacity
and proves extremely lucrative, the crop is
abundant. One may safely say that a young
author's fortune is made who can abuse
women in a lively, ill-natured, and authori
tative manner.
Frivolous, discontented) irrational, a crea
ture of whims, a devotee of fashion; a victim
of ennui, morally, physically, and intellec
tually feeble such is the woman of the pre
sent according to tho satirists. The marvel
is that they wish to see unchanged what they
denounce as contemptible. If anything is
proposed by which some of these faults must
inevitably be eradicated, these consistent
clitics take afl'right. Let us keep these angels
of perfection as they are, cry they, soft
cushions whereon forest masculine asperities.
What would the world be like if woman
kind were changed from the lovely
thing it is ? and so on, the inconse
quent multitude listening and believing.
Fortunately tor all, this kind ot writing.
like any other form of sensationalism in lite
rature, is ot the day only, and will pass away.
What has been said so often will tire even tho
foolish at last, and "We have piped unto you
but ye have not danced" will bo the lamont
of these once popular detractors. A great
change, moreover, is taking place in public
opinion regarding the education of women.
The wise are more inclined to weep than to
laugh over the frivolities of the sex, and see
no reason why this as well as any other ele
ment of unhappiuess should not be eradicated
from society. On one point we imagine alike
the serious-minded and the scoffer, the re
former and tho epigrammatist, to be
at one namely, that frivolity is evil
and not good. Thoso who love the
truth for truth's sake, and consider each indi
vidual life as an important unit of humanity,
are bestirring themselves to remedy tho evil;
those who live without any sense of moral
responsibility whatever try to hinder the work
from pure selfishness or prejudice. To discuss
tho numerous schemes on behalt ot the better
education of women is quite foreign to the
purpose of this paper. A lew of these have
already passed from the ordeal of popular con
tempt into the sunshine of popular favor; some
still in embryo are too rational to meet with
opposition from any quarter. Many others will
doubtless bo proposed when the world is ready
for them. To own in the lace ot these 1 acts
that the woman of the future will resemble
tho woman of tho present is to deny the
entire sex all capability of moral and intellec
tual growth. If occupation exercises any in
fluence upon tho character whatever and
there is little doubt that it exercises great in
fluence generations to come will indeed feel
thankful for the change. Deprecating as we
do the sweeping assertions of clap-trap
critics, we are forced to admit that there is
wide room for improvement. Women are
not universally so beautiful, so wise, and so
good as they might be, and it is to the inter
ests of humanity that they should be beautiful,
wise, and good. Consider, in tho first place,
tho question of beauty. The more hopeful
look f orward to the time when something of
the old (Ireek feeling for physical perfection
shall have revived, and a simpler and more
healthful life shall have tilted women to be
come mothers of a noble race. In this re
spect we are wiser than of old, but, though
hygiene and common sense have done much
tor ourselves, they nave uoue mucn more lor
ouv children. We of the present generation
are tho offspring of tight-lacing mothers; but
sini'U waists, tight shoes, and other ubomina
iinrw nvp, no loncer universal. Dress is much
better adapted to out-of-door life than
formerly. Etiquette has been relaxed,
and our young women enjoy a
freedom from physical restraint undreamed of
by their grandmothers. Health has ceased to
be tho monopoly of the other sex. Still the
inn mr it v of women lead far from wholesome
lives; and as beauty is more or less a matter
of health, too much can never be said against
c,.v, .i,ua r.f it. rh are vet in fashion. I he
worst of these abuses is that they load to a
perversion of taste. Quite naturally the
fragile type of beauty has become the standard
of the present day, and men admire in real
life tho lily-cheeked, small-waisted, diaphanous-
looking creatures idealized by living
artists. When we become accustomed to a
nobler kind of Thwanty we shall attain to
loftier ideal. Muiu will beck iiouiliiy raiuttr
than prettiness, strength rather than weak
ness, physical perfection rather than physical
degeneracy, in the women thoy select as
mothers of their children. ArtistB will re
joice and sculptors will cease to despair
when this happy consummation is reached.
Let none regard it as chimerical or Utopian.
A very little rationalism brought to bear
upon daily life would placo physical well
being within reach of woman of all ranks;
and where health leads the way, beauty is sel
dom slow to follow.
Few will deny that wisdom whose essence
is common sense has a largo share in deter
mining the happiness of social and domestic
life. Is it not reasonable to suppose that tho
various reforms in female education will have
proportionate effect upon the female charac
ter, and that the woman of tho future will
differ from tho woman of tho present intel
lectually as well as physically ? Steady cul
ture, increased habits of self-nil iance, wider
views of life, and a keener appreciation of
the truth for truth's sake, can but enlarge
and elevate the whole sex. Tho obvious in
ference is that just as a more healthful mode
of existence will invigorate and beau
tify tho bodies of women, so a ra
tional mode of existence will strengthen and
improve their minds. Frivolity, pettiness,
inactivity, and other faults of which men
most complain, will make room for opposite
qualities; and who shall aver this to be against
tho interests of humanity ? Perhaps nothing
causes more domestic unhappiness thau
downright silliness. A foolish wife will often
bring about as much mischief in hor hus
band's home as a persistently evil-tempered
one could do, and with the best intentions in
tho world, is sure to hinder and hamper him
upon every occasion. Now, silliness is the
fust stronghold of evil that a good system of
education will storm. Just so long as
girls are trained to frivolity and
irresponsible habits from childhood up
wards will they become frivolous
and irresponsible wives and mothers. In
granting, then, that the woman of the future
must of necessity inherit a large share of
physical and intellectual excellence, we are
led to extend the same happy prophecy to tho
moral faculties. Women often commit grave
as well us small errors, not because they are
perverse by nature, but because their reason
is at fault, and they fail to recognize the pro
portionate relation of things. Again, haliits
of subservience induce a cowardly attitude of
mind. Very few women havo tho courage to
be individual. Very few women estiniato
their own lives of any value in the
fullest sense of the word. They know well
enough that they have sme use as wives,
mothers, and daughters; but that they can
have any share in the well-being of the world
does not occur to them. Self-development
conveys to their minds something quite apart
from tho duty of wife, mother, or daughter,
while the truth is that self-development
embraces every other duty. Ill, there
fore, does it become thoso who satirize women
to hinder any efforts made on their behalf,
whether educational or social; always remem
bering this, however, that such efforts are
likely to do very little good which tend to
niiike of women weak imitations of men.
