LEAIiNED LADIES.
From the t. Y. lYibune.
This Leirg the annual saeson of Univorsity
jubilees, it would be impossible not to notice
tlia spcce vrbich young women now claim in
the reports of tLofie highly interesting cele
brations. A great uuany girls, wo observe; in
different parts of the land, are receiving the
degree of A. 11. t which, for obrious reasons,
in their CRRe, scents to have been substituted
for the liacculaureate. It is utterly impossible
to call a fresh, blooming, and beautiful de
ruoiKt llo a "Bachelor of Arts," for the most
enthusiastic tea-drinker of the Sorosis must
ece tbe solecism of such an addition. Neither,
an we understand it, is the feminine "A. M."
to be regprded an an initial expression of
"Aitium Maginter," for that would bo eiivully
ininropor. It signifies, as we are told, Mia
tresa of Arts," and means about as much .
when it is given to women as wIihu
it is given to men which is very little in
deed. We have always felt that this Mas
ter's degree Mas about the absurdest leg'icy
sent down to ua from the scholistic
ogep. V are tempted, about this time au
nuH'ly, to enquire: "Master of Arts! What
Aitsi' All of them? Tainting? Poetry?
Sculpture? Architecture? Law? Physic?
TLeology? Civil Engineering? Tho Useful?
The Mechanical? The Liberal? The Polite?
Tbe Arts of Wex or the Arts of Peace? Ali!
the cabalistic letters give us no information
upon these points respecting the fortunate indi
viduals who have been decorated. A student
taltes his "A. D.," and goes immediately iuto
the cod-fif;h or cotton business. Three years
after he boldly approaches his Alma Mater
with the requisite fees in his hand, and do
niftuds of bei a Master's diploma. The com
plying dame battens to grant his request; and
be watches proudly away, to the music of a
brass band, bearing the attesting skin neatly
tied up with bonny blue ribbons.
We have looked over the programmes of
several of the female commencements, and,
lor ail that we can see, they are exactly like
the programmes in the colleges devoted to
the other kind of young human beings.
These graduating girls, equally with the boys,
develop a prrpeumty to select ambitious sub
jects, and what is reported of the exercise
shows the same queer aping of profound
wisdom and the same suspicion on the part
of the writers, that the reading of their per
formances subjects the world to some danger
of i premature conflagration. Here, for
instance (:.n a Chicago newspaper), wo had
an account of the coramencemeut of tho
No? lb western Femalo College at Evanstou.
Everything was according to the orthodox
pattern, including a "Salutatory" (in the
P.oman tongue), "Music by the Band," and
"Ibo Valedictory." The reporter is kiud
enough to give bis opinion of the
performances, as reporters are sure to do
upon such occasions. Of the "Salutatorian
ess" it is observed that "her motions
were extremely graceful." The next address
was well digested, and bad a vein of humanity
running through it." The third "went on a
little too fast." In the fourth, "Homer,
Cicero, Demosthenes, and several other well
known gentlemen now dead, were compli
mented. The fifth "was historical, geo
logical, astronomical, romantic, high-flown,
and comprehensive." The sixth (on "Geo
logy") was "written with a dashing and flow
ing pen." The seventh "regretted the un
solved condition of tbe problem of the North
west passage.'' The valedictory followed,
"bringiug tears to many a bright eye," for it
wbb (says the discriminating reporter)
"couched in choice language, went straight
Loie, and was delivered in a feeling man
ner." Then certain young women were made
"Laureates of Arts,' aDd certain "Mistresses
of Arts," and still others "Mistrusses of
Scnnco;" the alumni had the usual dinner
and all was over !
Wo have but little to add to this account
by way of comment, but we feel that we
should show ourselves devoid of sympathy
ind wanting in gallantry if we failed to con
dole with tho joung mistresses of the N. W.
University upon the extremely flippant and
flabby way in which all their fine things
(which no doubtcost them gallons of mid
night kero.ieno.) have been reported to the
country. But repo-ters who are of an iudo
lent disposition, or who are pressed for room,
find a ready resource in adjectives, of which
their assortment (especially of those which
are complimentary) is usually (as the haber
dashers suy) "large and well selected." It is
thought to be quite enough to inform man
kind that a speaker was ''eloquent," or "af
fecting," or "bumorons," or that "his re
marks were well received by a large and
"apprecintive audience;" and what he really
did bay is generally considered of but little
imvortanco. But apart from curiosity, to a
fair amount of which we are willing to make
confession, we think it would be interesting
and instructive to know something of the
t Sect which a quasi collegiate course of in
struction has upon the minds of youug
v vmen. Does it, for instance, serve to de
velop tnd strengthen the logical faculty iu
which most women are deiiciont, so that
hereafter, with these Mistresses of Art at
least, we may be able to hold high argument
without a jumble of premises and conclu
sions, without perpetual begging of the ques
tion, and without that most irritatiug of ex
pedients, the argumentvm ad homincm ? Un
questionably, the Female University must be
a va.il improvement upon the old-fashioned
t oai ding-school, to which misses were con
B'grjed vith the "two towels and ajspoon" re
ouired bytberules. Under any circumstances.
it is, at least in opportunity, better than the
curriculum of worsted work, painting on vel
vet (with a verv little French, music, and
drawing) which was formerly pursued in young
Indies' seminaries; but it is an improve
ment only as it is likely to ailed the
imiauits and tastes of a more advanced period
oi life. To be sure, tbe tule here i the same
which, ia common fuirness, we must equally
apply to institutions for yoaug men. If
student spends four years in acquiring an
elementary knowledge of the ureek language,
and at once upon bis graduation begins to
forget tbe little which ha knows of that noble
tongue, it may perhaps be saying too much
to aver that bis time has been wasted; but
apart from a necessary improvement of his
literary taste, that will bo unpleasantly near
to the truth. Ho if a young woman who
nron leaving ber "university' can construe
Virgil or Horace without mora than au
occasional reference to an English traus
lation, gels married, 1ms half a dozen
children, and is forced to devote her
re'it to the constantly multiplying cares
of fcer household, it is probable that
iu ten years she will Imraly be abl
to read even the simplest Latin irose. Tun
the ( biection to sjitnding too much time upou
the flatties fpplit vi'b equal force both to
boys and girls. It is only when there exists
in the student of either aex an absolute and
well-marked tst-te for these studies that they
can be pursued with muoh hope of advantage.
Still, the young women, who have now their
colleges well endowed, and each with n re
spectable faculty, can no longer complain
that they are debarred from what is usually
called a liberal education. In this, as in
runny other matters, there no longer exists
uriy reason for ancient protests ana stereo
typed fault-finding. For ourselves, we have
always considered discussion of the equality
of the sexes as a lamentable waste of time
which should be precious; for the question,
it appears to on, is not one of equality, but
of difference. But when so much is to be
decided, we must not object to experiments;
and woman can no longer plead that she is
cruelly and despotically cut off from Op
portunity. ENGLAND'S RULE IN IllELAND.
Frcnti tht A. Y. 2vus.
Mi. Glaitstoue's Government resorts to
singular expedients by way of proving the
esri.c h-tness of its desire for the pacification
of Ireland. The reconciliation of the Irish
people to English rule was one of the pur
poses professed at the formation of the Min
ihtry, whose strength in the House of Com
mons Keen ed to be a guarantee for the ful
filment of its pledges. All its perform
ances, however, have been inconsistent and
unstitisfactory. Each succeeding attempt to
do justice to Ireland has been followed by
messures equivalent to a confession tuat no
real progress towards an enduring settlement
hud been achieved. Coercive measures have
cast a sbsdow over measures avowedly
friendly in their nature. The dises
tablishment of the Protestant Church
was attended with the enactment of authority
to "proclaim" districts, and to subject news
papers to processes and penalties not known
in England since the days of Castlereagh.
Ibo diKcussiou of the Lai-d bill in the House
of Lords proceeds simultaneously with the
passiige of a Felony bill through the Com
mons. An anectation of friendship and a
stern exercise of force go on together. The
Ministeis who set out with a promise to give
order and security to Irelund practically con
fess that they do not understand the causes
of ber trouble, or that they are unable or un
willing to apply adequate remedies. A liberal
government, after months of trial, virtually
acknowledges that the maintenance of its
power in the disaffected isle depends upon
the free use of weapons, from which even the
despotisms of the present day have instinc
tively sLrunk.
1 Le suppression of Protestant ascendancy
for that is what disestablishment logically
means was doubtless the removal of a sub
stantial grievance. But though it went too
far to please the Anglican bishops, it did not
f.o far enough to satisfy the liouian Catholics.
The latter insist that the repudiation of An
glican pretensions in ecclesiastical matters
should be followed by the restoration to tho
liouian Catholic Church of edifices and pro
perties of which, in other days, it was de-
spoiltd; that the confiscations which were
among tbe earliest evidences of England's su
premacy should now be revoked. At the
moment, then, that we were led to look for
peace us the consequence of a great stroke of
le(tislaticn, we actually witnessed unusual out
bursts of popular discontent. Violent resist
ance to law became, in some districts, more
frequent than ever, the "Nationalist" Press
urging with increased vehemence the futility
of all attempts at compromise. Then came
the enactment of fresh coercive measures,
which stand upon the statute-book a melan
choly commentary on Mr. Gladstone's Irish
policy.
the pending .Land bill promises to be not
oi.e wliit more effectual. Judged by old-
fashioned notions of landlords' rights, some
of its provisions are radical enough. It
asserts a right of interference which the land-
ov neis of England and Scotland cannot view
with unconcern. But what to them would
savor of agrarianism, only half meets the
exigencies of the case in Ireland. The old,
uiidjing feeling of the conquered towards the
conqueror complicates a question otherwise
not difficult of solution. The tillers of Irish
Mollmxe no faith iu the intentions of their
"alien" lord. The sense of a common in-
teiest, and the presence of kindly feel
ings, which make possible harmonious re
lations between tbe owners and cultivators
of tbe land in tho other parts of the British
islands, exist only to a very limited extent in
Ireland. Tbe result is, that ere the Land bill
becomes law its failure as a measure of pacifi
es turn appears to be assured. The Irish
journals are analyzing its provisions, and de
monstrating their lusumoiency as means of
averting the cruelty and wrong-doing which
biive rendered Irish evictions infamous
throughout the world. Again, therefore, the
spectacle is presented of the passage of a
measure purporting to be for the removal of
injustice, and designed by its authors as an
indication of England s good will, but which
is so manifest a failure tnat a uew Felony bill
must be contrived to make England's autho
litv secure.
The gotnl intentions of the British Govern
ment towards Ireland we cannot doubt. It
has dared much and dene much to prove the
genuineness of its desire to remove chronic
evils and mitigate chronic discontent. And
jet there is no abatement of the popular
aversion to English rule. "Where there is
smoke there is tire" is a maxim as applicable
to Fenianism to-day as to Chartism thirty
yeais ago; and it is to confront Fenianism
that felony bills are couoocted and troubled
districts "proclaimed." Tbe revival of the
repeal movement, which has slumbered since
the death of O'Connell, is another sign
of the popular fever to which imperial
sedatives are in vain applied. More
significant still is the recurring expression
ol a conviction on the pait of the men who
aie neither remans nor Itepealera, that to
Ireland must be conceded control over its own
local concerns, leaving the Imperial re pre
sentation possessed under the act of Union
exi lnsivtly applicable to Imperial affairs,
W batever shape the final settlement may
assume, this now seems certain there can
be to eff ective legislation for Irish grievances
which does not recognize the means by which
XLe union was consummated as the crown
ing grievance of all. The organio relations
ot Great Britain and Ireland need revision
si.d amendment as conditions precedent of
peace.
If England will act as frankly and as boldly
toward Ireland as Austria has acted toward
Hungary, Mr. Gladstone will realize the happy
results union, unuer nis present policy, re.
main beyond bis reaeh. The task to which
Count Beust hart addressed himself, with no
ordinary sitcccbn. is identical in its nature
with that which bathe the uritisb Minister.
'lbeie iuny be differences of opinion as to
son e of tbe results which have rewarded the
exertions of Count Beust, but there is none
in reward to the fact that uuder his adminis
trillion tbe Hungarian difficulty has dwindled
down, and tint solid progress baa btien mide
in tbe woik f oruuiziug an. I consolidating
He Aubliiun-llui uuriaii empiro. That id tho
lesson which English statesmen may advan
tageously study. . Their greatest hindrance in
an unwillingness to measure Irish grievances
and Irish discontent by other than English
ideas. Let them allow Ireland to be the in
terpreter of her own wants, and the true
union will, for the first time, begin.
THE KEVISION OF TnE BIBLE.
From the London Standard.
Mr. Buxton hardly mended his case for
transferring the revision of the Scriptures to
a royal commission by changing the terms of
bis motion bo as to invite the co-operation of
the Government of the United States. Ori
ginally he called upon the House of Com
mons to affirm that "it is desirable the work
should be placed in the bands of a royal com
mission, instead of being left to a committee
of convocation," but upon further considera
tion be omitted all reference to convocation,
and simply moved for an address praying the
sovereign "to invite the President of the
United States to concur with her Majesty in
appointing commissioners to revise the autho
rized version of the Scriptures." Now it is a
debatable question whether the work of revi
sion should be left to a committee appointed
by convocation; but, as the Premier and Mr.
Beresford Hope pointed out last night, there
can be very little doabt as to the inadmissi
bility of Mr. Buxton's second proposition.
It is, of course, highly desirable that we
should, if possible, produce such a version as
may be acceptable to the thirty odd millions of
English-speaking people on the other side of
tbe Atlantic, but if tLis is only to be secured
by tbe co-operation of American divines there
are obvious difficulties in the way. Biblical
scholars are few and far between in, America,
and it unfortunately happens, from their po
sition in the religious world, that tbe three or
our whose services might be acceptable
wculd by no means contribute to render the
new version popular among their country
men. Moreover, there is a fundamental hin
drance to the proposed joint action of the
President of the United States, seeing that
the Constitution expressly and designedly
bars the chief magistrate and his colleagues
from ident:fying themselves in their public
capacity with any distinctively religious
movement. As Mr. Hope reminds us, the in
fluence of Jefferson was successfully exerted
to exclude any reference to the existence of
a Supreme Being or any official recognition
of Christianity. Even if this obstacle could
be removed, it would not be wise to overlook
tbe dangerous influence which the Urge
and nourishing liouian (Jatholio commu
nity would exercise in the composition
of the American contingent. The sects
are at war, but tbe lloman Catholics are
a powerful and united body, and their efforts
would be directed, not so much to improve
tho Protestant version as to bring it into
harmony with the llomish version. It is ob
vious, however, tbat Mr. Buxton s proposition
to enlist Amei ican co-operation was an after
thought, and that bis main object is to take
the question out of the hands of convocation
as the representation of the Established
Church. The member for East Surrey asserts
with perfect truth that the authorized version
is tbe property not of any particular Church
or sect, but of the nation at large, and, as a
corollary, that no one Church or Beet is en
titled to monopolize the work of revising it.
But we are not aware that either convocation
or tbe Church have set up any claim of this
kind. Perhaps, as the largest and most in
fluential Christian body in the eiapire, the
Church of England had a right, and was in
Borne measure bound, to take the initiative;
but no one who examines the constitution of
the proposed committee and remembers that
the most eminent Biblical scholars, totally
irrespective of Church or creed, were invited
to share in its labors, can doubt that convo
cation approached the work in the largest
and most enlightened spirit. We can under
stand and sympathize with the protest of
churchmen like Messrs. Henley and
Newdegate, who shrink from tampering
with the authorized version. We think
their fears are exaggerated and that they
overrate the danger of making the text of the
Bible a subject of "free handling;" but they
at least take up an intelligent ground of ob
jection. But we cannot understand why the
Church of England is to be debarred from
playing a prominent part in a work in which
she is so vitally interested and in which the
scholarship of her clergy entitles ber to take
the lead. Mr. Percy Wyndham considers
tbat ecclesiastics are unfitted by their profes
sional habits for the work of Biblical revi
sion; but is not this equivalent to saying that
experts are specially disqualified, or that an
architect is the last person to be consulted
about a design for a house, or a railway en
gineer about a tunnel or a viaduct ? It is easy
to sneer at convocation as Mr. Buxton does.
It is a venerable, but, thanks to State ty
ranny, an almost impotent body, and it is
simply absurd to speak of it as given to
"usurpation." Possibly it might become very
tyrannical and despotic if it had the chance;
but.considering how it is fettered and gagged
at present.it would be as reasonable to charge
a man bound band and foot with abus
ing bis liberty. All tbat convocation has
done in this instance is to take the initiative
in giving effect to the almost universal
demand for a revision of the Scriptures. It
has nominated a committee to undertake the
work, which comprises, in addition to an
impartial selection from the most learned
divines of the Church, all the most eminent
Biblical scholars among the Nonconformist
bodies w ho could be induced t J co-operate.
No one can doubt the bona fides with which
the committee has been chosen, and we ques
tion whether Dissenters will not be disposed
to applaud rather than condemn the zeal
which prompted convocation on behalf of the
Church in taking initiative. We do not hesi
tate to Bay that under no other auspices would
tbe labors of any body of revisers have had a
chance of ending a general acceptance. Mr,
Buxton contends that the work ought to be
undertaken by the State ; and Mr. Gladstone
and bis supporters appear to have at once
perceived the awkward anachronism which
would result if a liberal government were to
assume the supervision of a purely religious
enterprise just at tbe time when it is
the policy of tbe liberal party to break down
every tie which links the Mate with religion
Of course Mr. Gladstone did not justify his
opposition to tbe motion upon grounds like
these. He declared that the Government
were decidedly opposed, as a matter of prin
ciple, to placing such a work as the revision
of tbe Scriptures in the hands of any civil or
publio body. He admitted it was highly
necessary that tbe revision should be pro
ceeded with, but proteased himself persuaded
that it could not be usefully undertaken by
the State, and that it was undesirable that
any version should be prodnced under cir
cumstances which would warrant the impres
sion that it was imposed upon the country by
authority. The present version, it is well to
remember, was tbe fruit of long-protracted
labors, and was not adopted as the authorized
version until it had been stamped by the
acceptance of a whole century. Kemiuding
the House tbat tbe motion, if carried, would
compel the Government to ask for a very
considerable Bum of money, th Premier in
sisted that it would be best to leave the mat
ter in the hands of those who were properly
interested in it, and for his own part he was
not disposed to censure convocation for
undertaking, at its own cost, and on its sole
responsibility, the conduct of a great work of
publio usefulness. Mr. Buxton was fain to
withdraw his motion.
DEPRECIATION OF DICKENS.
From the K. Y. World.
Of all disagreeable ways of saying disagree
able things, commend us to the way of saying
them as things tbat one would not say on any
account, and shifting the responsibility of
their utterance upon some imaginary and
scandalous third person, whom one avails
one self of the occasion mildly to rebuke. As
thus: "The late so-and-so was a person
whose estimable social qualities endeared him
to a large circle of friends. It may perhaps
be said by the censorious that the develop
ment of these very social qualities led to oc
casional manifestations of dissolute conduct
abroad and domestic violence which estranged
tbe fond heart of a once devoted and trusting
wife and blasted the prospects of his unfortu
nate children, but far be it from us to revive
these unpleasant reminiscences at such a
time. W e prefer to remember only his bet
ter traits." Tho advantage of such a course
is that it affords ready recourse to the excuse
of the street boy when collared for throwing
injurious snow-balls "Please, sir, it wasn't
me; it was the other fellers as throwed it.
Of this sort, in a marked decree, is the
eulogiBtico-depreciatory style very commonly
adopted by pulpit orators and by the reli
gious press; and nowhere has it been more
prominently displayed than in the case of the
late Charles Dickens. We have had praises
of bis morality sandwiched between hinted
doubts of his Christianity; admiration of his
genius and the philanthropic use he made
of it in the alternate paragraphs with godly
innuendoes of bis want of reverence to the
"cloth;" and now the secular side of his
character is attacked in an impersonally per
sonal sort of way, and even his literary abi
lity apologetically decried. "The genius of
Dickens was not kingly; he was a kines
jester," says the Independent, writing of him
w ho, more than any other author of our time,
guided his pen to a right royal, earnest pur
pose, is or did be "invent the characters
which be drew. As a matter of course, how
ever, "this is not Baid to bis disparagement.
But alas that dreadful harbinger of fur
ther onslaught:
But his peacll took wild freaks till its llbertv be
came license. If lie found a character, he made a
caricature oi it. ir ne cnacovereu a situation, he
made a travesty of it. Deficient in Dlot. loose in
style, frivolous in details, Cailyletsli In expression
an inese criticisms may ne justly urged agauiBt cer
tain parts of his many books. But who cares to
pick these flaws in Dickens at any tune, and least of
all the near hour of his funeral?
Who, indeed ? Surely not the Independent.
which would not for worlds "emphasize the
fact" tbat he "was not a daring thinker;"
that "bis mind was not cast in an heroio
jnonld;" that "he was never quickened by
that nne mBtinct lor popular liberty which.
in a land of kingcraft, ought to have made
him a democrat, a radicaL-an iconoclast."
No, the Independent would "do him no in
justice of that sort, but "contents itself
"with what he was a lover of his kind; a
friend of the friendless; a champion of the
poor, the degraded, the outcast, the forlorn;
whose "career was a prolonged beneficence
to bis fellow-beings." Let you and us, dear
reader, thank our stupid stars that in our ap
preciation ot the latter qualities we were not
profoundly critical enough to discover that
their possessor could be a mere jester and ca
ricaturist of unheroic mind, and devoid of
the tine instinct which inspires in conoclasm
and radicalism.
