At the moment of this writing, the whole English-speaking race at least, if not the whole civilized world, is literally and affectionately mourning the loss of an excellent woman sovereign; hut not all the reverence for high yirture in highest place, with all the sense as of almost personal bereavement, can assign to “The Queen” any very positive guid ance of world's affairs; a restraining in fluence, at some critical hours, may be gladly and gratefully acknowledged. In the shadows of a fabulous past, or in the stragglings of a crude political condition, are the famous names to be rather found, which illustrate the capabilities of female rule among the nations. The Semiramis of antiquity has scarcely reached a place in actual record. It is a common remark, that the matrons of Homer hold a rank of far higher dignity than their successors of the more * historic and enlightened time. Back of Homer, how the myths and legends abound with their fame ! the one realm, of earthly kingdoms, where substantial equalization of sex is realized. But when the full flower of Grecian glory opens, we hear from Pericles, by report of Thucydides, that the true honor of woman is, to be as little as possible heard of in public, for either good or ill. And faithfully does the great historian adhere to his standard, if he thought well of his countrywomen; in all his marvellous eight books, which throb with such dense compression of human interest, scarce three or four mentions of womankind whatsoever will be found, and these with hardly praise or blame. In the decaying times of Alexander’s successors, they come forth again in more prominent function. A great poetess might appear on the threshold of the historic period; a gifted teacher or inspirer, an aspirer crowned by tradition with all attributes of highest intellect, might adorn the sphere of Pericles; but in actual govern ment of states, the baud of woman is sus pended during the noonday cf Greece. In the case of Rome the story is the same. So long as we traverse the pe riod of legend, we are sure of potent in fluences from women. As the imagina tion of man inclines to dream of woman rather than other objects, thus in so far as this faculty has entered into his rec ords, women will inevitably come to a larger share in them. We may observe the prodigious role of Helen in the Trojan war, so long as it is poetry, and the col lapse even to disappearance of that role when it becomes plain history, in Thu cydides. In like manner we have our Amata’s, Lavinia’s, Clelia’s, Volumnia’s, Lucretia’s, of the mythic Roman period, on whom the events of the empire turn; their gradual withdrawal from the stage of public action, save as wives or mothers of heroes, lifted into note by their sons or husbands, during the clear historic age— for Cleopatra belongs to the decadent phase of Greek succession mentioned; and their reappearance, empress or barbarian queen, as the shadows fall again upon the ancient world. As we had controlling women in Herodotus but not in Thucydi des, so we have in Livy but not in Taci tus; unless indeed when he tells of Ger mans. It is assuredly not because the popular mind was not familiar with the idea; for as we have seen, the best-known literature was full of it, besides the scheme of deities, in which the goddess bore a fairly equal part with the god, apart from the sovereignty of Jove. While those medieval shadows linger, the being who is commonly esteemed to shine at most advantage by night-lights will be found once more in high evi dence. Our Fredegonda and Brunehault, our Lombard Rosamond and leading Christian queens, await us at the entrance of the darker ages; Boadicea and the prophetesses of the North, to whom so much of national impulse was ascribed, were typical of peoples yet uncivilized. Throughout the Middle Age this initia tive of women may be traced, in both the spirital and temporal sphere; in female saint and abbess, in queen and heroine As that interspace of the old and modern world approaches its conclusion, lights of fact grow clearer, and woman stands re vealed in them, holding on as it were with a firmer grasp as long as possible to the vantage she is likely soon to lose. Margaret of Waldemar earns her title, Semiramis of the North. The holy Jeanne of Orleans rises far above the dreams of fable; and she has no success or, as she had no foretype, whoever else may wield or impel the sword. Isabella the Catholic shows what purity and force of femine virtue may fill a thorne; Mar garet of Anjou, what termagant energy and will; still another Margaret, of Na varre, what enlightenment and salutary sweetness. When we remember an ear lier Margaret, the Saint of Scotland, and more slightly a number of Margarets be side, we seem to find this name the full est of honors among all those of women. Shakspeare, whose historic outlook is most especially a retrospect of these feu dal ages, has no objection to live femi nine royalties; the heroine who knows her way through affairs a good deal better than the men, the princess with a very decided notion of her own, the well-liorn matron generally. A general glance about odd corners of all man’s ruder estate, will yield the like evidence. All the Amazonisms, polyan dries, towering prerogratives of woman whatever, haunt these obscurities, and shun the daylight of civilization. So the overstrain of devotion in the regime of chivialry, the implicit homage to woman as superior and dispenser, passes with OUR HOUSE IS Weekly Adding the Latest Things IN § Va <!■ OXFORDS * AND * SHOES JT'or IVIen, JL/adiew and Children See Ua Before You Buy 'Em R. S. Lipscomb Shoe Co. Next door to Cherokee Drug Co. the Middle Age. The fictions of court ship and other special gallantries keep a remnant of it current; these, with increase of light and truth, are probably some what on the wane. As the sun of the modern time arises, still in its morning mists, we come upon the imposng figure of Elizabeth. This able sovereign seems to mark the latest phase of advancement at which a female ruler can enact a ruling part. The barbarisms of the past are thick about the social frame work still; the splendors of genius and intellect, the forward movement of na tional and European life, the triumphs of thought and enterprise and literture, have not removed them yet. The chan nels of jxditical currents have not worn their definite courses; by inheritance and favoring condition, along with exception al quality, a woman may still govern a kingdom. It is to be observed that Eliza beth receives her high station, she does nothing^to attain it, as many of the fore going heroines did; that the loyalty of England, nourished on traditional ideals and edged with intense hostilities, furnishes a peculiar power of national motive to her career, the very embodi ment of English aim and character. For after all, Elizabeth is no such origi nating force as the greatest of masculine leaders have been; it is with these we are to compare her. After her day, there are still British queens to come; but none who will even appear as a motor of his tory. They will not lead on, like Wil liam III, nor derail and thwart like a Charles, a James, a George; best if they let the general management go its estab lished way, and watch every ^chance for good like Victoria. The last paragraph is likely to undergo a sharp correction at the hands of many a historical connoisseur. Two centuries later, it may he , said, and so near our ow n day as to demolish at a blow the whole frame of precedent so “laboriously raised up, a female ruler has appeared, who in the power of personal sovereignty eclipes all predecessors. Is not Catha rine II greater even ihan Elizabeth? and she reaches to the day of people whom we remember. This will curiously re mind the student of an observation he may probably have made on quite other and far more general 1 grounds; that in stage of civilization, Russia is very nat urally, for reasons perfectly obvious in her history and conditions, about two centuries behind the rest of t Europe; not inferior, only later, ‘held back longer, therefore cruder and more likely to re produce barbaric phases. It is but a rea- sonahle allowance, in all historic reckon ing that involves Russia, to judge any phenomenon of that country as we would judge a like phenomenon of^ other Euro pean countries some two centuries ear lier. If this very self-suggestion view be accepted, Catharine will be assigned to exactly the same place in human ad vancement as Elizabeth, that is as mark ing the latest phase of such a part. Dur ing the large portiou of that century in Russia the throne was occupied by wo men, whose reigning faculty culminated in Catharine; the prediction may be ven tured, that the day of such rulership in that land is now past; that Russia in her increasing enlightenment, will in this respect henceforth continue the example of other nations. If it were to be assumed from data such as these that women were leaving the sphere of influence in public affairs al together, the conclusion would be rash indeed. Montesquieu is credited with the observation, that one who should expect to understand the course of these affairs without account of female in- flueuce in them, would be like one ex plaining a mechanism without perception of its mainsprings. Perhaps without reckoning its friction and stresses, might be the closer figure; the essential motors are not likely to depend on sex, except as before suggested, when history passes into romance—with any tinge of that element, the other is likely to arise. But in whatever form, the personal influence is no doubt immense. The statesman, sovereign, justice, delegate, voter, has his feminine ties like another, and their sway may vary from lightest lure to strictest bondage. Where by inheritance, legitimate appointment, close domestic relation or any other shape of duty, the weight of such business falls of itself up on woman, she has born it with the same good faith and capability as other duties. Where she has distinctly assumed such a part, of her own will, the results have been more questionable. In the middle of the 8th century, when “the greater part of Europe was under government of women by no means conspicuous, for meekness’,’ no blame of it accrued to Empress or Czarina, Maria Theresa or Elizabeth, but a load of infamy to Pom padour, individual and political. Ex amination of the voluntary interpositions of women in the course of national affairs, would seem to yeild a pretty steady har vest of evil records; in so far as the di rection of them can be traced as femi nine, the working seems to have been for mischief rather than good. The princess Augusta had great right to watch over her young son George, and do all a mother could to inspire him with noble sentiments, fit for the royal seat he should one day occupy. What manner of man he should be, was of much cou- cern to her; how his conception of regal duties should lie framed, was probably a little out of her range. But she could feel intensely on such matters, and stung with the seuseof royal insignificance in the last two reigns, she urged insistently upon the growing prince her counsel, “George, be a King. ’’ That she was perfectly clear about the object, and the right of it, none can doubt*, and at .the young man’s time of life, such counsel might well take root. We are constantly assured by history, that the effect was decisive; that the portentous hard-headedness and exalted notion of prerogative which soon distinguished George III, were in stilled from this teaching. Result, the greatest disaster that ever befell their country. From the high places of his tory to the familiar experiences of life, such illustrations may tie found. Like other creatures, women will enter action, directly or indirectly, if their emotions are keen enough to drive them on. A keen emotion always does perfect duty for a clear insight, to those who feel it. Taking the main run of history, wo man hardly will appear in it as a factor. Scarcely of any great event or movement could we say, that it was brought about or effected in its course by womankind expressly; very much [as the passion of lovfe, reputed commonly to lie so regnant in all human doings, steadily disappears as we reach the same consideration of historic business. No question of the force, in any case, hut the sphere of it seems to end about where public history begins. Romance, as before, can do wonders, especially with the legend of the facts; hut whatever makes a part of the world’s actual record, seems contrib uted from other springs of action. Once in a while, indeed, the feminine element may seem traceable in important moments; curiously, its working is apt to be directly contrary to what might be expected of the gentler sex. When blows are to be struck for which the nerve of man is not yet quite strung, that of woman, as with Lady Macbeth, will bend up to the terrible feat. Among prime events of history, the French re volution of the 18th c ntuiy is one which may perhapsjbe considered to have re ceived, not its main impulse or direction, but some perceptible coloring,from the|in- fluence of women. With the Versailles eruption of ’89, that complexion seems especially to make its appearance; through many a figure afterward, individ ual and in mass, the dagger of Corday and the pen of Madam Roland, the Amazons who overhung the Convention and urged on its lagging wheels, the handmaids of revolution in its every sphere who intensified its fires, the in fluence continues; till the climax that stamps the character of this event apart from all the record of the world, the Reign of Terror, may be thought to reach its Utmost pitch through the impulse of women. There is a shrillness in all its accent, an absoluteness in its purpose, a personality throughout its career, that savors of the feminine. Let any man, of maturing years, of con stant interest in public affairs, and full social experience, who has talked with everybody about politics, regardless of sex—bethink himself at some reflective moment, in how far he has ever obtained what he would call an “idea” on these interests, from women. Lively mind, keen appreciations, enlistment of sympa thy in all degrees from the faintest incli nation to the white heats of zeal, pungent criticism, clear discernment of moral principal, very often he might expect; but anything that has essentially informed him about public affairs, that has made him understand them better? He is likely to find, that precisely the same trait which distinguishes the con versation and the thought of women oth erwise, which marks woman’s wit and woman’s reasoning, her duty, feeling and religion, will extend into this region also; a more personal way of looking at things, a reference to the individual rather than the applied principle, a predominance of emotion over judgment. So long as the question is of persons, or of things per sonified, the discussion is likely to be vi vacious enough; when a general horo scope is to be cast, a fatal want of propor tion, in the sense of elements at large or factors of political tendency, may com monly be discerned. It is not the more average class, but the bright and capable who especially signalize this lack. One, chosen as the representative and leader of women working for the public good the country over, in an opening discourse at a national convention of these, meas ures their knowledge of American insti tutions by the vow that We will never cease until we elect a President who will strike down at one blow the liquor traffic of the land. No doubt these are instances, and mere ^instances do not prove. Are they typical instances, fairly representa tive, or are they not? Those finer traits or talents, whatever they may be, which weave the charm of woman and embody her impalpable pow er, simply do not seem to reach so far, as the public sphere. Elizabeth and Cath arine are not famous for them, but get their political strength by being just about so much like men. The delicate attributes with which we credit the sex— instinctive rightness, quick impressions of the concerning truth, quick sense of the ludicrous which preserves from so many crudities, good nature, tact—no doubt belong to it; but they were “se lected” and evolved for the sphere of per sonal relations, they bear no reference to corporate action, and there is no rational basis for expecting them to appear there. How intense is the physical impression of a fine woman, close at hand, and what an impertinence her escorting gentleman looks beside her! Across even a wide hall, that presence fails, and the man, if either, is the nobler object. Accordingly, the very nature and limits of such action may be marked but by the more or less fitness and success of women in the given cases. The personal aggregation may be of five hundred, the corporation of five ; the rule will work all the same. A mere ly social company or party is an exten sion of the family, and is personal wholly; for a household is not complete without its visitors, as the house is not without its guest-chambers. Such a party may amount to hundreds; and here the wo man is sovereign. The radiant kindness, the impartial justice to all, the readiness for each person as that person arrives, and so for the whole demand of the occa sion—if any man could approach this talent, he would merely]lead us to say, as we do when a man has proved a pecu liarly gentle and capable nurse, “He is almost as good as a woman.” The social party exists for no object bnt the pleasure of the moment, or any larger objects are incidental; it has no constitution, only customs; mind and soul may beam in it, but its aim is not intellectual or spiritual. The moment any assembly of human be ings assumes such aim, the difference of qualification begins to appear. The es sential purposes are lietter held in hand by men. A lean this way or that accord ing to some personal consideration, is al most sure to take effect in the leadership of women. Many a collective movement, of which the object is simple and emo tional, as religious and reformatory ones, may he so promoted by the zeal and sin gle-heartedness of woman, that hardly any such difference appears, the compa nies in the case resembling the social parties, one kind of emotion being sub stituted for another. But exactly as any thing depends on the organization, and the conduct of its work as such, it is probably found to. do best with men. This is as far as all* possible poles from saying that the association whatsoever will do better without women; it will commonly be incomplete and maimed without them, as a home is without them, or without children. Men in proportion to their own advancement learn not only to enjoy the participation of women in their associations, hut to find something about that participation, even in promi nent parts, which contributes essentially to the aim, and would lie distinctly miss ed if omitted. But this does not seem to include the general direction. The fit ness of the thing is more clearly kept in view by men, the person finding proper part in relation to that. The experience of public offices, in which the places held bv women now are so large a portion, furnishes"many a sub tle evidence of these general truths. The woman seems to be about as good a clerk as the man; yet there is a whole body of conditions, which tend to bring about in equality, and the inequalities all draw in favor of the man and against the woman. So to put it, she does just as well for a day, but for a year not quite so well. Marriage raises the price of the man, it lowers or demolishes hers. Weather, accident, friction, tell more upon her than him. The reflection conies by the way. how vain must be the ideal attempts to enforce equal salary for equal work; another set of laws than those of Congress have to pass on that; it is like the stat utes to keep down prices in time of fam ine, which could oiil^' keep away relief. But the soul of the difference is within. By every evidence, in every uncalculated utterance, it is seen, that woman does not feel that mutual belonging of self and place, which man does. If her work is good as the men’s, she deserves the more credit for it, since nothing can make her feel it her own work, like that of the household or the holy cause, or the individual pursuit whatever. The time out of office, not the time in office, is the time that makes her life. Difficul ties about leaves of absence would appear to be generally hers. The frank instinc tiveness with which she regards the Gov ernment and its offices as a natural re source out of which as much in time and money is to be drawn as means admit, the total unconsciousness of this institu tion’s claims, and practice of little ways which would ai once he recognized as not quite honorable in private dealing,—keep us in admiration of the industry and fidelity we do witness on her part in gov ernment service. Men in such employ may do well to adopt in their own minds a principle of practical experience, which will do much to smooth intercourse and lighten little debates which are liable to arise: Never expect of a woman any perception of rights, as against personal rights. She may be capable of such per ception, and may show it; if so, then that is so much clear gain. By never counting on it, much will be saved as w r ell as gain ed. This is not law, or even treaty, it is only “mode of living,” which works well. An experiment upon the actual inter est felt in office business, might yield amusing results; if one should take an ac count of all the times that any two wo men and any two men in office, respec tively, were observed talking together with absorbed attention, then investigate the subject that had been engrossing them. The woman might have been en gaged thus eagerly upon some point of office work, the men might have been talking politics or base-ball, and put theif whole minds to it in each case; such things do happen ; but the question which would be found oftener making a per sonal interest of Jan office one could but call a smile to the face of experience. In one kind of office, women have taken a specially forward place with ev ery prospect of still further advancement if room be left for it—the library. Prob ably most of the library employees in this country are women; and there at least is a vocation of honor and dignity as well as usefulness, not expecting to he filled with inferior material. There, too, is a vocation, if any, in which an un questioned and working equality, in its general ranks, has been reached; where the work is desired by those who do it to be taken simply on its merit, without consideration of sex; with nothing of the “look what we have done, though but women,” elsewhere apparent. In library circles of the present day, a man would be quite off his color, would he ridiculous, who should attempt any patronage of women in the, profession. Yet the li brary in its greater shape likewise, when it becomes as a corporate department with many subdivisions, has not been pre sided over by woman, and there does not appear to be much demand or tendency for that. Suppose it were put to the vote of the subordinate women themselves? The difficulty of proportioning larger af fairs would probably tell; and the correl ative dislike of women to be chiefed by their own sex. The hospital is said to thrive best un der the government of women; as a kind of household or nursery. In politics or office the impression as of something alien will not down, in the usual conversation of women. In the one, the wish to appear adept and “up to” matters, which besets us all in topics that do not belong to us, is noticeable often in a toleration or approval of prac tices and characters which would be ab horrent in private life—for that is the way politics have to be carried on, if they are to succeed; the right being apparently a different thing in the individual rela tion and the public. In office it is cu rious to observe how generally the whole weight of female teaching seems to bear in favor of the spoils system; not on prin ciple, but because the personal factors always tend so vastly to ore ponderate, the influences and the wrongs of particular cases, in this testimony. Thus the high aim of purifying the public mill by in creased admission of woman’s purer mor als into its manipulations, would seem like the expectation of refining the flour by cleaner water in the mill race. ****** At the head of the nation once there stood a man, almost unrivalled in our own and unsurpassed in any record, for strength of will and mastery of rale. This autocratic basis, fortified by every accessory of supreme position, boundless adulation and devoted following, was tenfold enhanced by clear integrity of purpose and intent of right, which added something like omnipotence to a charac ter by nature so potent. Such a ruler took the resolution, on some justifying occasion as he believed, that a certain jierson, wife of his cabinet minister, should lie socially recognized. Every conceivable circumstance which could favor the enforceiiient of such an edict, as an act of masculihe authority, con spired in the .highest degree; and fore most of all, sense of being |in the right. Andrew Jackson has known the bitter ness pi personal abuses heaped on an in nocent woman, still nearer to himself; and by the Eternal, this one should he protected. His absolute determination broke on its delicate subjects like a bil low on a rock. We may have no con viction or even opinion whether poor Peggy Eaton was "virtuous” or not; hut those cabinet women had not faith that she was, and power did not exist on the earth which could compel them. Fire might fly, ministries might shatter, Gov ernment readjust itself, but the unsanc tioned persons could not get into society, against the word of these creatures who held no office, cast no vote, led no army knew no statecraft, ran from a mouse. They could talk yery idle tattle it is like ly, they could live like butterflies, give out plans, and take small comprehension of large affairs, but once affixed upon a moral issue which they felt to be vital, their will was God’s will, sure enough. There 'is a great deep philosophy, which finds the progress of things in general shaped in three main steps, of every movement; a positive one, a nega tive called into action by this positive and directly opposing it, finally a unit ing one which gathers up the truth of each into a large whole. Our present subject may be considered to have ex hibited these three phases with tolerable clearness. The positive or “thesis” of Progress is the assertion of Man, in his virile form, as master. Then a negative or “antithesis” arises, denying this mas tery, in behalf of woman. It is the nat ural character of each phase to suppose itself the final one while it is on. But a “synthesis” follows, asserting and deny ing some of each, while showing that they cannot wholly contradict. It’s working in the case before us is to throw the work wide open to women as to man; increasing by innumerable ways her activities‘and capacities, and thus bringing out into more clearness the distinctions founded in nature, by which she partakes all human interests, equal or superior in the personal relations, in ferior in the political. Miss E«ra Ross delighted the audi ence with her magnificent rendition of three pretty airs. A feature of the evening not down on the programme was the introduc tion by Dr. Lodge by Prof. H. P. Griffith, who delighted the audience with one of his inimitable speeches. Prof. Griffith is always at home on the platform and the occasion and the man met in this instance. He puts a tire and vim in his speeches that at once inspire and enthuse and his au dience never tires of listening to him. . Dr. Lodge then presented the graduating class with the diplomas, prefacing the presetation with appro priate remarks concerning the alma mater of the young ladies. Miss Dew followed with a piano selection and Rev. Arch. Cree closed the commencemert exercises with the benedictioo. Altogether the college year just closed was the most notable and suc cessful in the history of Limestone College. Dr. Lodge and his asso ciates deserve the highest praise for their fidelity to the institution, and the success they have achieved is only the just reward of faithful work.
