Asesilaneaus.a
ssGenerOsity.s,

The Cincinnati Commercial in reply to
the Enquirer, touching the definition of the
word generosity" in connection with the
Slough and Hosea contested election, gives
the following definition. We have not ex-
anined Walker or Webster, but are entire
" satisfied that the Commercial is cor
rect. Il says ~
at is stated in the Enquirer of yester-
day, Mr.. Slough "has determined to per-
form an act Of generosity which we may
look in vain to see initiated by any member
of the opposition That act of generosity
consists in refraining from an attempt to
hold seat in the General Assembly, to
which he was not elected. As the organ of
Mr.. Slough's party takes pains. to put this
among the extraordinary efforts of the De-
moeracy at decency, we feel willing to agree
with it SO far as to admit that it was more
than we expected; and by no means, in
strict accordance with Democratic prece-
dent. But how it comes to be generosity
is another affair and depends upon eireum-
stances. Agentleman had a fair opportu
nity to steal your watch, but does not do it.
Now if the gentleman is thief to refrain
from the larceny may be an act of generos-
ity; but if he is an honest man, there is
not only any generosity in the case, but
the gentleman will never be inclined tolook
upon it in that light. The generosity of
Mr.. Slough consists in retaining from an
attempt 10 do wrong when the chances of
success were the reverse of fiattering. 1t
is like that of the light fingered individual
who refrains from the watch, because the
eye of the owner followed his motion.

,saw-Dusf as Litter for stables

,SaWsDusf as Litter fOr Stables.
= Some. weeks ago an article appeared in
the columns of this paper, in which saw.
dust was found superior to, straw by the
person who had tried it in N H., the first
mentioned is, that it occupied less room il
the barn, which is not unfrequently, a:
rs the case in this paper, a matter
ter of importance. Next, saw-dust is alb
serbs more of. the fertilizing matters about
the stable, the person using it being very
sure that the ammonial emanations, were
less srtong on opening the doors in the
morning than when straw litter was used.
Next it is said to be much less ofa chore
TO clean the stable, and also, that so little
comparatively had to be trown out that one
load lasted long time. The next thing
named as an advantage of saw-dust as lit
ter is, that the manure heap occupied so
much less space than when straw was used,
and thus admitted more easily of being
protected by covering from the waist
ing effects of exposure to sun, wind
and rains. Then again it is an obvious
advantage to have in ones yard manure in
as small bulk as possible, and this is effected
to a great extent by the use of saw-dust.-
The same amount of fertilizing matter is,
probably, contained in one load of manure
made from saw-dust, as there would be in
two or three loads of that which had been
made fom straw litter. Then, too, in the
field it would be free from all the trouble
which had been made from straw litter.
- With so many points of superiority, we
think it probable that saw-dust will, hear
after, be more generally used, at least in
the neigborhood of saw mills. If found to
a be convenience or an. advantage toany of
our readers, it win give us pleasure to know
that we have so far succeeded in accom-
plishing the object of our constant desires,
labors and exertions which is, to render to
oar readers the greatest amount of ualata-
bic. services possible.-Atbany Country

WiIberfOrce University.

The Methodists, ever foremost in works
of Educational and Christian philanthropy,
have established Colored Peoples Col
lege at Xenia, in this State, styled Wilber-
force University. The institution has been
inaugurated under the auspices of the Gin
cinnati Conference of the Methodist Episcc-
pal Church, other Conferences in the West
concurring, for the better education of the
colorod youth of our country. Many re-
ligious denominations are represented in
the Board of Trustees, and it is designed
to unite and engage the efforts of all Chris
tians and philanthropists in endowing and
sustaining literary institution of high
order. .a / 7f fas-
A valuable and beautiful property near
Xenia has been purchased, embracing fifty
two acres of land, with an edifce of two
hundred rooms, well adapted to, and ample
for college purposes. Nine cottages are
included, suitable for residences for teach
ers, the property having been improved at
a cost of $4,000 for a fashionable water
ing place.. 1t has been purchased for the
University at $4,000. The location is a
very eligible one, and the institution opens
under favorable auspices. Both sexes are
received, and may pursue either a partial
or thorough course of instruction. The
winter session will commence Nov. 18th,
and continue twenty weeks. The Rev.
John F. Wright, of Cincinnati, is President
of the WiIberforce University.
Ofthe usefulness and success of the In
stitution there can be no doubt. The col
ored population Of the Free States in 1850,
numbered 424,s and there is a rapid in
crease. Some have been educated under
great disadvantages, and many thirst for
knowledge Education is the great eleva-
tor of man of every race, and free colored
Americans will be able, as their minds are
improved and enlightened, to take higher
stand in the respect and esteem of their
countrymen, and in the citizenship of the
Republic Cleyeland Her.

,.Cass. to be Premier.

aInspector," the Washinton correspon-
dent of the New York Courier, under
date of February 21st, says:
I informed you in brief line last night
of the gratifying position taken by Gen.
Cass, Premier elect, in secret debate of
the Senate. The venerable Statesman de-
clared, in substance, that he should not
carry into the administration which is to
rule the country for the next four years, the
inevitable war policy with Great Britain,
but should favor peace not only with our
foster mother, but with all the world, ]
need not say that the announcement has
produced a very agreeable and tranquiliz.
ing sensation.
Il is construed as furnishing guarantee
that the foreign policy of the government
will be conducted upon principles adverse
to filibusterism. If Gen. Cass adheres to
his present resolution he will require and
receive the support of the Republicans
against that incendiary wing of his own
party which finds its aliment and home in
agitation. l- E IIE ~

The cold Red Cent?

AS the old ''red cent" is about being
called in, some of our cotemporaries are
writing its history and obituary. Thece
was proposed in 1882 by Robert Morris,
the great financier of the revolution, and
was named by Jefferson two years later.
1t began to make its appearance from the
mint in 1892. 1t bore then the head Of
Washington on one side and thirteen links
on the other. The French revolution soon
after created rage for French ideas in
America, which put on the cent, instead of
the head of Washington, the head of
the goddess of Liberty a French
liberty, with neck thrust forward and fiow-
ing locks. The chain on the reverse was
replaced by the olive wreath of peace. But
the French liberty was short lived, and so
was her portrait on our cent. The present
staid, classic dame, with a fillet around her
hair, came into fashion about thirty or forty
years ago, and her finely ehiseled Grecian
features have been but slightly altered by
the lapse of time. -''s = y -
