VASSAR DAYS. ! Some chinr About a Thoroughly Equip ped Woman's College New York, June 11.—Vassar in June is N assar in its glory. Robins in the grass, the luxuriance of early summer verdure nui riot, scholastic buildings, their dignity set laughingly at naught by the fluttering gowns that dame about them, endless mazes of corridors ringing withfresh voices, sunshine' and an exultant sense of the new possibilities of woman hood have been threads in the tangle of impressions that commencement visitors to the girl family at Poughkeepsie have Uought away with them this week. As if it were not enough that Vassar was the first thoroughly equipped women's college in the world, the first institution ex pressly founded to do for young women what hundreds of schools were doing for young men; for beauty of situation and natural surroundings it is almost without a rival. It Seems a matter to regret at first that it should be so far from the river. The two miles that one travels east through Poughkeepsie and away from the Hudson water to reach it seem two miles too many. But from the instant one passes under the massive stone arch, with its great clock that marks the limits of the 200 acres of the college grounds, regrets of all sorts are lost in the delight of the eye, wearied with tho city pavements, in the gently rising ground, the June greenness, tho fine old trees, the stately brick piles modeled, they say, after the design of the Tuileries and masking the American newness of their wails that count a quarter of a century or so, but arc the veriest Infants as universities count'age, under a mantle of woodbines and ivy. With the flash of oars from the boats manned by girlish crews on the lake, the glimpses of bright faces down every avenue and the electricity of 300 young women who are in earnest in the air Vassar in June is an ex hilarating place, to sav the least. Whether it was at the baccalaureate ser mon in the flower-decked chapel on Sunday, at the annual concert, the alternately merry and tearful classday exercises round the tree sacred to ’B7, Prof. Mitchell’s dome party under the great telescope, or when the valedictorian had made her last bow and the heap of parchments was produced, it was impossible not to agree that Vassar students, take them together, are very pleasant to look at. Any group of girls at their blossoming period is not apt to be precisely disagreeable in aspect, but take a body of picked young women with intelli gence in their features and the character that will carry them through four year's of more or less steady mental training, and the faces they will turn to you make a picture brighter and more attractive than it would be easy to find elsewhere. If, as the statistics of the collegiate alumnae have it, only 28 per cent, of the girl graduates of the educational colleges on their list are mar ried, and only 23 per cent of the graduates of the women's colleges, it is of a certainty not due to any lack of the winsomeness or teminine charms. Vassar girls are apt to be pretty and almost without exception they like pretty things. The students’ rooms, as thrown open to commencement guests this week, gave one glimpses of cozy interiors, where the Greek grammar on the bookshelf was overhung by a spray of nodding June roses from the dainty flower vase above it, where the big lexicon on the floor lay comfortably on a warm-lined rag, where good pictures brightened the walls, running vines climbed about in the window seats and color bits and girls’ knickknacks were everywhere. The senior parlors, fitted up afresh by each succeeding class for its own especial use and delectation, afford another instance, if instance were wanted, of the love of the beautiful in homo decoration which no amount of higher educatipn could ever strangle in a true daughter of Eve. With their silk- hung walls, their waving curtains and drooping portieres, their rare etchings and quaint odd bric-a-brac, the only pity was that the reign of each new set of plenishings should be so brief. Vassar girls, like the rest of femininity, like to talk, and the cheerful din between courses in the big, sunny dining room, when freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, one and all, found their merry tongues loosened was something no visitor who heal'd it is likely to forget. Why does everybody chat fastest when eating ice cream? Wednesday has been ice cream day at Vassar from time to time immemorial and Wednesday dinners in the annals of the dining room stand out prominently at high water mark. The graduates in particular have had something to talk about this week, and it was impossible not to notice throughout the commencement days how full of plans for the future the wide awake class of ’B7 is. The Vassar girl is not quite the sort of young woman she is currently pictured in newspaper literature. She is not in any sense rampant. Her zeal for the good name of her college and her almost morbid dread of doing anything or saving anything or looking anything to bring discredit on it makes tier in many ways a far more con servative uud seif-restrained individual than she will be in a half-dozen years may hap, when the sharp edges of her education have a little worn off. But in spite of this tel (consciousness that acts as a check to keep her from any unless it be a very well con sidered unconventional plunge tho Vassar girl has not the smallest notion of going home, folding her hands and swinging in a hammock until her destiny in the shape of an eligible young man turns up. There is hardly a gil'J among the graduates of this week who laid away the keepsakes of her college life in her trunk without a matured plan for work that she took home with them. Circulating among the seniors as they gathered in knots for farewell talk in the hallways, the library or the long tree-shaded avenues one heard of this young woman who would teach, that one who was going abroad to study, another who wanted to to a journalist, Several—more perhaps than thought of any other profes sion—who would lie physicians, and yet others who were interested in social questions. The age of the average college graduate is rising u little and at 22 or 23 the Vassar girl turns an earnest, though not too serious, eye upon the world. One of "the most vivid impressions which the visitor brings away from Vassar is that of the democracy of the place. Society divides itself into classes inevitably every where, but. neither money nor social station have any depreciable weightin determining your standing at Vassar. A larger propor tion of the students than at most other women's colleges probably- come from wealthy families, lull year after year it happciie that the most courted student is olio of those who hold free scholarships, Ifollars don’t count, gowns don’t count, but as tho college world arranges itself, two things fix your place for you, your brains aud your capacity for good fellowship. Your popular girls are your bright girls with character, and your girls who can engineer frolics. A day at the college is enough to give you the reason why Commencement always smiles on healthy, well-conditioned graduates. Vassar girls are well taken care 'of. Each student has her separate bedroom where she can secure entire privacy and get a needed relief from the nervous strain of living with 800 and coming in and going out to the sound of gongs. She can be where she needs to be, alone. For study purposes from two to four bedrooms are grouped at* >nt a common parlor, an arrangement which divides the students into scores of cosy families. The resident physicians, as a rule, find their task a very light one, and Dr. Lucy M. Ilall shows figures that give a better average of health than that enjoyed by the young men at Amherst. The gala days of the week were more brilliant this yoar than usual, the graduat ing class being larger and tho prospects of the school more flat tering than for some time before. Dr Taylor, the new president, is very popular, aud seems to have inspired fresh life in every department. Mrs. i’aylor and tho little people, whose childish faces brighten the corridors, give a touch of home life to the routine of college days that is very charming. Tho alumnae. than whom o school has a more devoted body, have been at work this year, and their gift, rf 814.000, raised for the Maria Mitchell Astronomical Endowment Fund, and of nearly $20,01)0 for tho gymnasium, renewed their zeal for alma mater and brought them out to commencement in force. A tour about the place itself, through the long of the main building, glancing in at the library with its bookshelves, its Bronzes and its marbles: pausing at the conservatory door and strolling across the grass to the observatory, with its round, central dome and its two wings, where Prof. Mitchell has domiciled herself cosily within reach of the telescope, to the Vassar Brothers’ laboratory ■witii its fine modern front, gives one a better idea than any number of commence ment essays of the work the school has done and is doing for women, and of cause for rejoicing that one lives in the nineteenth century when that work is thought, worth doing. E. P. H. CONDENSE DJMGHTNING. Some Interesting Points About Edison’s Different Electric Systems. New York, June 11. —In the base ment of Broadway, at the corner of John street, is a circular iron plate on whose surface raised letters indicate that it belongs to Mr. Thomas A. Edison, America’s greatest inventor. Every other evening about 8 o'clock, after the busy thoroughfare has been deserted by every son of toil, excepting it may bo the thirsty tramp and the thirstier policeman, an intelligent, neatly dressed man carrying a medium-sized box emerges from the dusk and stops at the plate. From tho box ho draws a singular looking rug about two feet square and four inches thick, com posed of loosely wound and more loosely woven cotton wick. On this he kneels and, then with a queer assortment of cold chisels, cleaners, jimmies and wrenches removes the plate after much toil from the metal frame in which it was so firmly set. Beneath is a large square chamber whose walls and floor seem to be incrusted metal. Near both top and bottom are ponderous rings of polished copper separated and held in place by unrecognizable pads and washers of some dark substance that looks like silky India rubber. From each ring wires radiate, passing through the walls of the chamber and losing themselves in tho earth below the pavement. The man gloves his hand with a rubber glove and works a few minutes with the complicated attachments, here removing a piece, there tightening a screw, here changing the position of a wire and there inserting an insulator. As he paused I asked him which of the many electric systems begotten in Menlo Park he was engaged upon. "This time upon the Edison illuminating, though I superintend several others and frequently am called in to consult upon electrical matters by out side concerns. To-night I am testing and regulating.” "Why do you take so many precautions?” "Partly for my own safety and partly for the sake of doing first-class work. You see there is a current moving through those two "uains, as we call them, that could kill 100, 000 men in an instant. If through careless ness X put myself in its way and got'its full force that would be the last of me. A year ago I was a little thoughtless or clumsy, and slightly ‘grounded the negative main.’ That is, 1 touched that upper ring of cop per when one knee was on the bare paving stone. Here’s what the current did.” lie rolled up his coat and shirt sleeve, and dis played a muscular arm that looked as if it had been engraved with a chisel and then eaten with nitric acid to produce an etching plate. "1 was in the hospital over a month for that, and it was so tough a lesson that I’ll never forget it. I’ll show you how strong that current is. “He took a* broken pair of fine pliers, and holding them with a cleft piece of wood touched one end to the upper copper ring and one to the steel cover rim. In ail instant tho gray metal broke into sparks and flame. He removed it with the remark: “That current would bum up a crowbar or a lamppost if it were properly directed.” “Is there much danger?’ “There used to be, but it grows smallor every day as we know more about handling electricity. It's like a horse sometimes that runs away. It will get into railroad tracks and knock a horse over and sometimes kill the animal. Sometimes it leaks out of the wires and gets into a water or steam pipe and then paralyzes some of these Italians you see digging up the streets nowadays. They think it is the devil and hold a prayer meeting. Sometimes it gets us boys. Down in Wall street one day the lights were be having badly and I went down to see what was tho matter. Everything was all right inside the offices, and so I went out in the street to see if there was a leak or e. bad wire. It was raining a little, just a drizzle. I put my hand on the plate glass window and I was knocked down just as clean as if Sullivan had done the job. You see the wire leaked just over the window, and the layer of rain on the glass along with the gold lettering, made a good conductor, and I got the benefit of the job. I was sore the next three days, but I fixed it up all the same as if nothing had happened. We hate to let on to outsiders when we get caught ourselves. It don’t look professional and they always guy us.” "Do your wires perform any work beyond illuminating?” "Certainly, all sorts and kinds. It runs fans in restaurants, revolving hair brushes in barber shops, sewing and knitting machines in private families, passenger and freight elevators, dentists’ augers and the bellows for church organs. It rings the bells in flats and opens doors, and protects houses from burglars. Then it is now used, and so far as I know these are the latest ideas out, in reinforcing telegraph and telephone circuits, in nickel, bronze, copper, silver and gold plating, in putting nietal on the backs of looking glasses aud in running electric clocks. “There are probably newer things than that, but I haven’t heard of them yet. Every day there isn’t less than one new patent on some funny racket or another. I saw one that was put in an-up-town brewery last month. It was called a compound im proved tele-thermometer and the name wasn’t as big as the work the little thing would do. - It, would ring a bell better and quicker than you or I can do if a watchman went asleep, if the engine ran too slow, if the room grew too cold or if it grew too warm, if a fire broke out or if the water pipe burst. In fact, it would do everything that n good brewery hand would do except drink its employer’s beer.” “How do you know how much force you us®?” “Oh, that's simple enough. Edison lias got it down so fine that we know. I might say how many pints or ounces we turn out at the central office, how much flows in each wire, how much leaks, how much is wasted and how much is tapped and drawn off by our customers. It’s a sort of queer notion to tliiqk that you have got a thunder and lightning storm condensed In that apparatus and tiiat you are retailing in little chunks or piecos.” . During the conversation, bo had finished the work, readjusted and fastened the cover into the rim, luted it with red lead and re filled the box with his many implements With a cheery “good-night,” lie disappeared in the darkness on his way to the next chamber down Broadway. William E. 8. Fales. Practicing all Winter. “The St. Paul Pioneer Press tells this story about one of the prominent pliysi ciunsof that city. When he was sixteen years of ago ho left home to teach school in a neighboring village. He had expressed a strong taste for the medical profession, and when he returned home the next spring his father told him that ho might iiegm to study medicine if he chose. “Study!" exclaimed the boy; “why I hnv< been practicing ai! winter.” HU father then learned that an epidemic of measles hud struck tho neighborhood where his hopeful son was teaching during the winter, and that he bought a case of medicines, read up on the disease and set himself up as n healer with great success. His snare time after school liours put in this way had laid the foundation of his fu ture professional reputation. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 18S7-TWF.T,VE RAGES. A STORY WRITER'S OPPORTUNITIES A Talk With the Editor of Harper’s Magazine on an Interesting Subject. New York, Juno 11. —Ti e editor of Har per's Magazine, Mr. William M. Aldeu, is as busy a man aj you can find in town. His desk is always heaped with manuscripts of all kinds, fropi all sorts of people, on all sorts of subjects, and they come from all parts of the universe. The first impression one gets as he looks at Mr. Aldeu’s desk is that oue of Uncle Sam’s mail sacks has been emptied upon it. This is far f ram true, because the letters piled there have been very carefully read by another person, whose duty it is to silt the wheat from the chaff and to decide whether the articles he reads are meritor ious. If he thinks so he outlines the plot in a few lines on a little slip of paper, pins it to the article, and sends it to Mr. Alden, who is final arbiter, and who decides whether any of the articles shall be used. A good deal depends upon availability. Avery good ar ticle may he too long or too short, or may have been recently touched upon, or else contain some idea that the editor does not approve. But let Mr. Aldeu speak for him self. “What chance is there for a young writer in New York nowadays?” I ask. “A fair chance, I think,” he replies. “What I mean is, suppose a young man or woman should come to town with no other capital than a supposed talent for writing. What sort of headway could they make and what are their chances of success?” “The chances are greatly against them making money. My long experience as a magazine editor has given me. abundant op portunity to study the subject;therefore I can speak from experience and not from conjecture. Taka a young man fresh from college, a student of literature, who has given evidence of fine talents during his course of study, and he will be least likely of any to succeed as a magazine or newspaper writer. The reason is obvious. His mind his been dwelling in the past, his attention lias been absorbed in text books while the fleeting events of the passing day remain unheeded. Set him down to pen an article and he will in all probability write an cleborate and learned disquisition on some subject which has no timely or public interest. The magazine idea, as embodied in Harper's Monthly and the Century, has much of a newspaper char acter. What wo want is something novel and interesting, some exclusive information of importance, some stilting description of contemporaneous character. It is the mat ter we desire, not the style, although good writing is also an essential element in maga zine articles. You can see, therefore, the difficulties in the way of new-comers. In the first place, it is not an easy matter to hit upon an acceptable subject, and in the second place two-thirds of the articles that appear each month In the leading periodi cals have originated in the editorial rooms and iieea assigned to writers of established reputation to be worked up. About the average number of articles to one issue of a magazine like Harper's is fourteen. Take the hundreds sent in for each number and you can judge for yourself how limited the chances of success are.” “What kind of literature is most likely to meet acceptance?” “Short stories and poems. Women are far more successful in writing these than men. They are better equipped to meet the demands of the age. Most stories sent to the magazines by men embody some attempt at a plot. Now, almost every conceivable plot lias been invented, and it is almost a miracle when anything strikingly original comes to us. Women, on the other hand, are more apt to employ situations which admit of a portrayal of subtle shades of feeling. These are the successful story writers of the present day. In poems the same holds good. Men write poems of description and action, women of passion and feeling.” “Can you mention a few men who have made their way to reputation through the medium of the magazines?” “Yes. there is Robert Burns Wilson, the poet. He has never published a volume of verse to my knowledge, yet his reputation stands high. Then there is Joel Chandler Harris who first made a hit by his contribu tions to periodical literature. George W. Cable owes much to the magazines, and so does Tom Paige. I could mention a num ber of others, such as W. H. Bishop, but their number is small compared with the number of women who have suc ceeded.” “How are articles and stories paid for by periodicals ?” “Well, the best of them have an estab lished rate, generally $lO per 1,000 words. Of course this is not an inflexible rule. Some especially good articles are paid special prices. For example, we have paid as high as SI,OOO for a five page poem. Stories gen erally run from SIOO to $250. The prices fluctuate a great deal. Much depends upon the renutation of the author. A man like Bret Hurte or a woman like Constance Feni more Woolson can make demands which others could not. Generally speaking young writers have a poor chance to mako a living from the magazines. Some prefer to try a a book, but publishers are chary and the in ternational copyright is still a thing of the future. Young writers, however, should consider this, very few of the successful lit erary men of the day achieved a reputation until late in life. If they have talent let that give them confidence that they will sooner or later gain the reputation they so much covet.” Foster Coates. A Chat With Brigham’s Tenth Wife. From the San Francisco Examiner. A pleasant-speaking, motherly-looking lady of some 60 years, with fas-t whitening hair, has been at the Russ House with her intellectual appearing daughter for some days past. She is a woman that, has led a momentous life for many years, so much so that the cold record of it would read like a romance. The lady is Mrs. Lucy B. Young, tenth wife of Brigham Young, President of tho Mormon church. She settled in Salt Lake when all the region round about was a howl ing wilderness —a Sterile, rocky waste. It was in the very heyday of her life that Miss Brewster, the charming belle of a country town in Illinois, left Unnumbered suitors to become the bride of a bright man gone mad on religion. But too strangely fascinating were his words, and she came. Even yet tho beauty of the girl eouid be seen in the serene, sensitive face. “I had thought to esratie all interviewers,” said the lady to the reporter. "So many recollections of these now fast-receding years throng my mind that fniti shut, them ail irom view. w “Yes, as vou say, I could tell a great deal that would interest your readers.

Sooner or later, however, it would appear that ft must, for though the Mormons are strong and confi dent in Balt Lake and Utah, they are not strong enough anywhere else to control things. Outride the fascinations of this t>e culiar belief, one sees other and broader opinions holding way. “No, 1 cannot speak of my dear husband, Brigham Young, nor of the stories about his reported resurrection.

The Gorgeous Uniforms in Which French Soldiers Have Gone to Battle. Tho soldiers of Napoleon I. v ent into but tle in their dress uniforms, gorgeous infantry charged the enemy in fantastic gaiters with forty buttons, mid tho guard wore into the fight hats which were deco rated with plumes a yard long. Every pri vate wore epaulet*. But iu our great war, says the Youth's Companion, even tho offi cers discarded epaulets except for the most ceremonious occasions, and replaced thorn with simple shfiuidor straps. “Like a field of rip' wheat,” snys a French historian, “waved the long plumes of the guard when they went into battle, and the enemy, recognizing at a distance these intrepid plumes, cried in indescribable terror: 'lt is the guard I’ And the battle was half won already.” During the campaign of 1850 in Italy the Third Regiment of the French grenadiers, supported by the Zouaves, were drawn up facing 30,000 Austrians during four hours under a broiling sun. Thev were hardly comfortable, theso grenadiers, for they were compelled to wear their immense bear-skin shakos every moment of this time, to say nothing of then heavy braided coats and the knapsacks upon their backs. Under the murderous sun some of the grenadiers had taken off their shakos. Gen. Wimpffen, who commanded the brigade, ordered the great, huts to be re placed. “Tho grenadiers,” he said, “fight, in their shakos. Cost what it may, we must hold our own. And now, boys' forward I” The grenadiers saved the day at Magenta, and the next day the big liear-skin lints eouid be counted on the field of battle by hundreds. “One would think there had been a battle of bears here,” someone said, with a melan choly smile, in passing the scene. Several days later, on tho plain of Me dole, the Emperor Napoleon 111, riding across the field, found that (Jen. Auger, who commanded a battery which was the kev of the whole engagement, hud lost ids left arm and that his shoulder had been broken by a shot from an Austrian cannon. Tho General, surrounded by surgeons, was dying beneath a tree on tho plain. Ho was 'still conscious, although speechless. The Emperor, greatly moved and wishing to convey some sign to the dying officer that he was raised before his death to the rank of gene, a! of division for his bravery on tho field, unfastened one of his own epau lqfs from his shoulder and put it into the dying man's hand. The General smiled fuintly, pressed the epaulet to his lips, and died. The Emperor rejoined his staff with one shoulder bare of its epaulet, and the rumor quickly spread abroad that he had had the epaulet shot. away. Even in the war between the French and Germans, in 1870, the offloers still wore epau lets in the field. At the hattle of Grave lotte a squadron of Freneh dragoons charged a column of Prussian hussars who had taken them in the flank. In the violence of the shock two of the opposing horsemen, both dismounted, found themselves cut off from the rest of the commands. One was a Major of the Ger man Hussars and the other an Adjutant of the French Dragoons. They faced each other, sabers in hand. The Tdajor dealt tho Adjutant a terrific blow. The Frenchman parried it. but the German’s weapons struck his epaulet and cut it off; the saber broke in two like a piece of glass. The Adjutant sprang upon his disarmed enemy and placed the point of his saber to his throat . ‘Surrender!” he cried. “You are un armed.” “Kill me,” said the hussar, coolly, drop phKJiis broken sword and reaching as if for biv revolver. “I am not unarmed • I have a revolver.” “Ban!” said the Frenchman. ‘There isivtKshot in it.” Itoyas true, and tho Adjutant led his prisoner away. It is bard to tell which more ,to admire—the officer who, in order that, his fate might be death rather than surrender, resorted to a heroic subterfuge, or the one who preferred to risk his own life rather than strike a disarmed enemy. HE FOUGHT FOR HIS SWORD. A Colonel Under Arrest Wins Re nown by Fighting with a Musket. From the Chicago News. Tho death in Buffalo recently of Gen. George M. Love, of the One Hundred and Sixteenth Regiment New York Volunteers, says the Baltimore American, recalls to mind a famous act of bravery which the General was too modest ever to have pub lished. Love at the battle of Cedar Creek iu 18(54 was Colonel of his regiment—the One Hundred and Sixteenth New York Vol unteers —and it was his gallant conduct at this battle for which he was subsequently brevetted Brigadier General. He was of a frank and genial nature, very companiona ble, full or good stories, and always en deavored to imbue toilers with his cheerful spirit. His popularity was so greet throughout the command that it necessarily found envi ous opposition, which came in the person of Gen. Dwight, then commander of the First Division of the Nineteenth Army Corps. The familiar and sociable ways of the genial Love were repugnant to the stiff and digni fied General of the First Division, and, un der some lame pretext, Love was deprived of Ids command and found himself on the eve of the battle of Cedar Creek under ar rest upon some insignificant and trifling charge. The next day the Confederat es, un der (Jen. Jubal A. Early, attacked the Union line, both in front and rear. Love was still under arrest. His friends requested the re turn of his sword aud command, but Dwight was implaeahle and would not re lent. Love, humiliated, secs the Confederates press upon his cherished regiment, his men rail back as they are fighting against double odds. His nature can stand it, no longer. He rushes among his toys, find, buckling on a cartridge-box, takes the musket from a dead man and fights in the ranks. His presence and noble example encourage hi* almost defeated men. The charge, under his lead, is made and the lost ground re taken. I/>ve is in the van. The lighting is most desperate, but the works are retalnffi, and in this hand-to-hand conflict I/ivc. with his own hands, plucks from the enemy the emblem of victory, being the first flae cap tured in the battle. After the conflict Love, attired as a private soldier of tin- One Hun dred and Sixteenth Regiment, with his car tridge-box on, with ft musket at, hi* side, to gether with hi* hard-earned priz**- the rap tured flag of the enemy—proceeded to the division headquarters to receive the hearty welcome due to a brave soldier. In ap proaching tho dignified Dwight, Love, in ins jovial way, said: k “Here, General, give me back my sword. Mere is a Confederate flag for it.” Dwight, refusing the brave soldier’s i-3pn *i, flew into a hot pas ;ion and order's!
