able Of the war. The distance is 6~fty-three miles,

ONE WAY TO PUNISH JEFF. DAvIs.-A novel sug-
gestion is made by the New York correspondent Of
the London Spectator, thus:
Davis must be condemned to death, but were l
President johnson, 1 would neither pardon him and
- - u --- 10
he were pardoned on condition Of exile, he would
merely lead a comfortable, perhaps q luxurious life
abroad, receiving much attention from certain people.
He must be conspicuously punished, and yet not
made a martyr either by his Imprisonment or his
death. Therefore, upon condemnation l would re-
prieve his sentence indefinitely, on condition that lac
gave his parole never to leave the country, and to re-
port himself once a month to the judicial or military
officer of the republic nearest to his place Of residence,
and once q year to the President at Washington.
From any position of public trust he is Of course
cut off. If necessary, he should be comfortably sup
ported at the expense Of the Government he sought
to destroy. and the becoming humiliation Of publicly
acknowledging its authority once q month while he
lived. And such an example would be more than O
hanging. This would l do with the chief civil and
military leaders of the rebellion.
HARVARD COLLEGE A CHARITY ScHooL-In n let
ter written by DIR. Peabody, of Harvard College,
he makes the following interesting statement Of the
charities of Harvard College, which will astonish
those who have been accustomed to think that the
advantages Of this institution were only for the rich ::
cit may not be generally known to what extent
Harvard College is a charity school. The funds dis
tributed by the faculty among poor students amouLt
to about twelve thousand dollars annually. A
nearly or quite equal sum is distributed by private
liberality, about half of it through the agency and
at the discretion Of individual members of the facul-
ty. The recipients of this bounty average not far
from one hundred, and many Of them have no other
pecuniary dependence. There is no department Of
their official duty in which the persons entrusted
with fhia charge are more diliDent. careful and faith
full than in seeking out the condition Of the poor
students, and in adjusting the aid awarded to them
in the due ratio of need and merit"
TRINITY CHURCH EsrATE-Trinity Church, New
York, owns a large portion of the lower part of that
city. The lots number gel, and were ell leased be-
fore the revolution. They are all covered by build
ings, and as the leases will expire in n few years and
revert to the church, with the buildings, it is estim-
ated that the property Of Trinity will then be worth
more than $25, O0O, 900. On the LIST of May. 1866.
the lease obtained by John Jacob Astor, in 1857, of
1886 city lots down town at rs cents per annum for
each. which are owned by Trinity Church, will ex-
pire, and revert back to the corporation. w. B.
Astor pays Trinity Church $500 per annum for all
the lots, being rs cents for each. II we estimate the
rental from each building on these lots at the low
average of $500, says the Express. the fortunate
leaseholder must receive on an invested capital OF
$3.50 an income of S1e8. 900 per annum Some OF
the buildings, however, are let ut higher rates.
