his intelligence was more "sensational" than truthful. lie
is said to be one of the most plausible liars that ever lived.

John Morrissey won $50,000, in the recent fight
for the championship of America between Mike M'Coole
and Aaron Jones.

General Rufus King, late Minister to Rome, is
at Washington urging a claim to a mission to Greece.

Mr. Harvey, Minister to Portugal, is expected to
arrive at Washington immediately.
Samuel Wilkenson, late of the Tribune, has be-
come connected with the eastern division (Kansas

When Artemus Ward lay on his death-bed at
Southampton he turned to a friend by his bedside, with &
flash of the old humour in his kindly eyes, and mur-
mured, " What have I done that I should die so young ?
I never was guilty of a burglary, or ever committed the
minor offence of killing a publisher or even a newspaper
man ."

The Conference of Bi-it:ops at Lambeth Palace
received an unexpected addition last Tuesday by the arrival
of Dr. C. M. Williams, the American Bishop of China, who
reached London on Monday night.
A San Franciscan paper informs us that the King
of Hawaii is dying, and that his successor will probably
be Mrs. Bishop, a lineal descendant of a powerful chief,
and now the wife of an American banker at Honolulu.
The Round Table informs us that the " University
of Wisconsin, which has been reorganised in accordance
with acts passed by the state legislature in 1866 and 1867,
is henceforth to maintain these departments of instruction :
A College of Letters, with a four years' course in mathe-
matics, ancient and modern languages, literature, and
science ; a College of Arts, with a three years' course in
mathematics, modern languages and literature, and the
natural sciences in their application to agriculture and the
arts, beside a wide range of optional studies; a Prepara-
tory Department, with a three years' course, which will be
strictly limited to the preparation of boys for the University
course and will not do the work of common schools ; and a
Female Department, with a three years' course in language,
literature, and science, in which the recitations, conducted by
the University professors, will be distinct from the college
classes, while students, in addition to the prescribed
course, may pursue any optional study taught in the Uni-
versity for which they are fitted, and may also attend all
University lectures. For this department it is proposed
to provide buildings and make a fully organisedfemale col-
lege as soon as may be. After the present year there is
also to be a post-graduate course of one year for the study
of engineering and natural science. There is a legal re-
quirement that instruction shall be given in military
tactics; in this the assistance of the general government
is expected, and the matter has not yet been matured.
Whether it is purposed to make this compulsory upon the
students we are not aware, but we should have little doubt
in that event, that it must either soon be abandoned or
create much embarrassment and unpopularity for the insti-
tution.
