WHEN THE D. D.'s WERE lNvESTED.-The title Of
Doctor was invented in the twelfth century, at the
first establishment of the Universities. The first
person upon whom il was conferred was Irnerius,
a professor Of Law at the University Of Bologna
He induced the Emperor Loihaire H., whose Chan
celor he was, to create the title; and he himself
was the first recipient Of il. lie was made Doctor
of laws by that University. subsequently the title
was borrowed by the iacult, of theology, and first
conferred by the University of Paris on Peter Lom-
bard, the celebrated scholastic theologian William
Gorlenio was the first person upon whom the title
of Doctor Of Medicine was bestowed who received
il from the College at Asti, in 1929. For seyera

bat in the present century, and especially in thi.
country, these are many thousands Of them thai
the title is greatly diminished in value, and Is nov
hardly worth having.

Monday, Miss Matte Taylor, of Newport, received
from his Royal Highness magnificent diamond

The chain that binds us heart to heart
Each link was forged by saihted sircs
Amid the Revolutions fires
And coold-oh, where 80 rich flood?--
In Warren's and in Sumpters blood

When Terror rear'd her bloody lance
And man became distinctions child,
And woman in her passions wild,
Danced in The life-blood of her Queen,
Before tie dreadful guillotinel
Dissolve the Unionl Roll away
The spangled Flag Of Glory's day;
Blot out the history Of the brave,
And desecrate each Patriots grave,
And then above the wreck Of years
Quaf an eternity Of tears.
Dissolve the Union Can it be
That they who speak such words are free
Great God did any die to save
Such sordid wretches from the grave
When breast to breast and hand to hand
Our patriot fathers freed the land2
Dissolve the Union Hol forbear
The sword Of Damocles is there;
Cut but hair. and earth shall know
A darker, dcadlier tale Of woe
Than History's crimson tale has told
Since Nero's car in blood e'cr rolld.

Dead heroes leap from Glory's sod

TO BELLA.

BEatAl my love, to thee tune my Tyre,
And not to ESves; for my thoughts are Of thee
touch its bright strings, as the vestal fire
Flashes at thy shrine, like the sun-lit sea-
BELIAl sweet dreamer in this silent hour
The hour when Fancy doth her brow adorn
With purest gems, and the fairest flower;
sing to thee, and not to blae-eyed Morn.
BELLA sweet sleeper, art thou not dreamingi
Has thy spirit gone to that mystic land,
Where the sky with roseate hues is cleaning,
Aud Beauty by odorous winds is famed?
Tis the midnight hour and am alone,
Except, yon twinkling and radiant star
Looks thro my window, from the jeweld throne
OF night, in the blue Of heaven afar.
In that star may be thy spirit smiling
All and at me may be coyly peeping; ling
Adown its beams may come sweet words, begail-
The weary hours while thou art gently sleeping
BELLA l know that Fancy wings her fight
Far from earth, to Gull her fairest flowers
In dream-land she gathers her gems Of light,
And.wreaths Of love from Amaranthine bowers
hear the night-winds soft and gentle sighs,
As he passes by with his mantle DER him;
On toward the South aud her sunny skies
He moves, with guiding star before him.
A train of Zephyrs follow him along
With harps aolian, and with lutte and Tyre;
And the Fairies greet him with dance and song,
And light his way with the wildwood fire.
Ali the nght-wind hath soft and gentle sghs:
love to hear its music on the air
1t touches the heart, and sweet emotions rise
To make us hopeful, when we would despair.
DELLAl-farewelll on my wandering way
My sweetest memories shall be of thee.
Wilt thou not receive this trivial lay,
And cherish in thy heart thought of me2
But, am ! dreamer pa blghted hope
May revel wildly in my trusting heart;
And the deep channels therein may ope,
And all but Despair and his chains depart.
But, ah know. A voice comes to me
In gentle accents-musical and low
1t comes like echo from the distant sea-
"Where e'er thou art, it is there would GO"

The friends of Breckenridge and Lane are

epce over either Douglas or Bell. On the other
hand, Republicans supposed to be well informed,
say that Lincoln, if elected, viii retain all the
Southern Democrats in Office and make no changes
South in conversation with a leading friend of
the Administration, no longer ago than yesterday,
he stated that he thought Lincoln would be elected
and ifso, would be at the mercy of a Democratic
Senate. This consideration and the further fact
that Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet had favored
Lincoln in his race against Douglas would induce
the incoming Administration to retain the Demo-
Gratis in Office in the South as well as to divide the
foreign appointments with theml

on the Oft-treated question of the authorship of
"JuNIus LETTERS" in which he claims the honor
of that authorship for Sir Horace walpole The
Richmond Dispatch, in review of Mr.. Reece's ar
ticle, says;
To say that Horace Walpole could be convicted
before any jury in Chrstendom of writing the let
tiers of Junius, upon the evidence which Mr.. R. has
produced against him, would be only to repeat
what Lord Brougham said many years ago, of Sir
Philip Francis who, we think, upon the showing of
Mr.. r., most assuredly did not write them. We
shall, therefore, make use Of no such ex-
aggerated expression We will content ourselves
with saying that the probabilities are much sron-
ger in favor of Walpole than they ever were in ia
vor Of Francis, or any one else whose name has yet
been placed before the public. First and foremost,
he was the only man, except Burke-and he GER
tainly was not the author--who has proved himself
by his other writings equal TO the task In Brough-
am criticism in the Edinburg Review, upon the
book called "Junius identified with a living char
acter," numerous extracts are produced from the
speeches of Francis TO prove that there a strk-
ing resemblance between their style and that of the
world renowned letters. We confess we were new
er able to detect the slightest resemblance betw cen
the two. But with Walpole the case is entirely
different We read his letters and his memoirs of
the Court of the Georges without thinking for a
moment of Junius. But, like the position in Guy
Mannering as soon as weretold of the suspicion,
the likeness struck with the suddenness of light
ming, We were startled with its perfection, and we
wondered that we had never seen it before. 1t
seems passing strange how we ever could have
missed it. Nor is this ALL 1t appears that Wal
pole not only hated everybody that Junius hated,
and loved everybody that Junius loved but that
he assaed in his memoirs, which he was then wri-
ting, everybody whom Junius assailed with all the
rancor so remarkable in JuniuS and that too in al
most every instance before each particular letter OF
Junius appeared Junius hated the Duke Of Graf
ton so did Waipole. He detested Lord Mansfield
so did Walpoe. He assaied the Duke of Bedford
with an acrimony unexampled in the whole history
of politco-litemry warfare Walpole alone could
feel Junus manifested towards the Lutrells a ran
cor which seems preternatural in his attack upon
Lord Irnham, the head of the family There i:
something almost Internal in the savage fury with
which Walpoe attacks the same family.
