We publish this morning, as we have
published from time 70 time during the
psst few weeks, q condensed account of the
commencement anniversaries Of several OF
our institutions of learning. 1t will be
seen that two features are especially char
acteristic of all the college anniversaries of
the year as compared with those of former
times. These peculiar features are: first
.be presence of the returned heroes who
have fought for the country during -four
wears of war, TO the walls of Alma Mater I;
and. second, the remembrance and honor
Maid to the unreturning braves who have
fallen in defense of the Union. Wherever
8 college has held its commencement in
this happy yesr 1866, its sons have gather
cd in shoulder. straps, or %chevrOnA OF the
private's army blue, and bronzed faces as
well as fair ones have met the eyes of the
young orators of the occasion, IS they
assembled the steps of the commencement
Stspe.n And even more marked than
this, in every college gsthering-in the
alumni meeting-in the class. meeting-in
the speeches and addresses-in the con-
versstion of the day-has been the recol-
lection and the praise Of fallen heroes.
We are glad to see that every college
honors its returning heroes and commemo-
rates the memory of those who do not
return. We see that universally steps are
being taken by the alumni students and
friends of our colleges to erect monuments
TO the memory of those of their graduates
or students who have fallen in the war fol
the Union. This is as it should be. Nc
voung men went to battle with greater
slscrity; none have done better service
vbeiber courage or intellect be the stand
ard. than the undergraduates of our
schools. At the outset they appreciated
the necessity and the glory of the contest
and thew went forth willingly fought
noblv. and fell g~loriously. We need only
cite the record of the "Oberlin Company"
of the Seventh Ohio Regiments CON-
panv organized on the very first day Of
the war-one which even in the "Aghting
Seventh" was especially eminent for dis
cipline, courage and conduct and one
which has been entirely Oblitersted by
desth and disease in its four years OF
service. This is but one instance which
the history of slmOst every college can
psrslleL. Amherst hiss furnished ninety
six of her alumni to the war, and nearly
avery college in the land can exhibit as
honorable a record. Let then, the lists be
oom,iIed, let the monument be erected,
and let the memories OF these student
heroes who have fallen in the successful
struggle to redeem the country and who
sleep in the bosom Of a regenersted land,
bs forever cultivated in the college halls
which they left never to return.

TroubIe Among the Canadians.

A petition to the Governor General OF
Canada is being circulated for signatures
in Montreal and other Canadian towns,
praying thAt an investigation may be had
regarding statements made at the Detroit
Commercial Convention by Mr.. Potter,
United States Consul General, and reports
to the effect that shat gentleman has, du'
ring his residence in Osnads, been engaged
in secret efforts to bring about an annexa'
ton of that province to the United States
Mr.. Potter stated at the Commercial Con
ventiOn, as an argument in favor of aoro'
eating the Reciprocity Treaty, that within
two years from its discontinusnee the Va
nsdians will be applying for admission
into the Union

Ien unrIs Hns.0ne Friend Lerl.

Washington Correspondence Philadelphia Inq'r.
About one o'clock yesterday, q smart,
bright lad of about sixteen years called AZ
the Executive mansion, edged his way
through the crowd waiting for an audience
with the President and presented his card
10 the usher, requesting an interview with
Mr.. johnson. In a abort time he was sd-
mitted. "Well, my lad" said the Presi-
dent, 'how can I serve you p III learn,
sir" said the boy, shat Mr.. Davis is very
i'll, and l desire permission 70 take or send
to him some delicscieG suited TO his condi-
ton" III do not think 1 can act In the
matter" replied the President land I will
give you 8 note to the Secretary of War"
The boy shortly after applied at the War
Department and obtained an immediate
hearing. Upon interrogation he said he
was the brother of 8 Richmond editor. He
felt 8 greet deal of interest for JEFF. Davis.
He hsd seen him but once in Richmond.
That he heard he was i'll, and needed some
of the delicscies that in7slids usually
crave, and he wanted to supply them. The
lad was informed that no official informa-
ton had been received of JEFF. Davis ILL
ness, and the papers which give accounts
of his supposed sickness also state that all
the care required was bestowed upon the
prisoner. The boy expressed surprise at
the last statement, and remarking that he
would make further inquiry and call again
n two days, departed, bowling himself out
in the most dignihed manner.

The Propagation of the EngIIsh Par
1Fa~nne


The Propagation of the English Par
lament.
The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune thus describes the closing
ceremonies of the present session of Par
lament:
Parliament died the other day, very IN
impressively. About twenty gentlemen
assembled in the House of Commons, the
absent msjority of two hundred and odd
being mostly busy, el~ectioneering IN the
country, assisting to firing in the new" rath-
er than firing out the old" and preferring to
o~ficiate as political midwives rather than
undertaken assistants. No member of the
Ministry, however subordinate, appeared.
Precisely as the sonorous tones Of the clock
in the Victoria Tower (the numeral letters Of
which are taller han q tall man, and the
boom Of which can be heard half over
London, through the eternal, hum and roar
of the great city, announced noon, in came
Sir Augustus Clifford, Usher of the Black
Rod, gorgeous in blue in gold, Qike a book
of poetry, published by TicknOr & Fields,
Boston and conducted the few represent
atiVes of the people to the House of Lords
OF Upper House, as I should call it if
writing for an English newspaper. There
| about q dozen peers (smong them our
friend the Duke of Argyle,) had been quiet
ly gossipping, admired of a few ladies on
the opposition benches, and surveyed
by a number of spectators of the other
sex in the strangers gallery. Headed by
the Speaker $50 called Lueus a non lucenGO
because he never does speak except to call
q member to order, or on other exceptional
occasions) in his time. honored wig, accom-
panied by Lord Q. Russell, s~ergeant-at-
arms, the small muster of Commons ap-
pesred at the bar, whers the Royal Com
mission being read by the Hon. Slingsby
Bethel, (resding clerk vice Edwards of
unpleasant memory and q dozen or 80 of
bills, hurried intolaws. Earl Granville
read the Queens speech-of which, as it
will assuredly get printed in the Tribune
before thisletter, Ineed say nothing. Then
en.ued the propagation, and the eighth ses-
sion of the sixth Parliament of Queen
Victoris, or Long Parliament of Pslmers-
ton, was q thing of the past. Nothing
could have been quieter or more common
place, the whole proceedings occupying
no more than half an hour. The members
of either House came out chatting gaily in
groups of twos and threes, or yswning, or
looking bored, or relieved, as the case
might be- jumped into their broaghsm's
and bowled off to their clubs, houses, or
railway termini; the cabs in Palace yard
shouted "Keb, Sir" the spectators and
idlers ssunted of, and still went on the
hum and roar of mighty London. Every
way the thing was-barring the blue and
gold, and little cos!umery-unpretentious
and, in the best sense of the word, English,
IS dispensing with parade and glitter.

Disturbance at Brownsville; Texas.

On Saturday night 3 ball was given at
Brownsville by Federal of6cers-whether
or not in honor of the staff officers of Cor
tina, we don't know-but such officers we're
prominently in attendance at the ball. No
liquor was allowed at the ball, but all, not
w~ithstanding, got decidedly mellow. One
of Oortina's officers, richly attired, but
without his coat did not like the style of
dancing, and undertook to change the
trule and figure work" TO something better
adapted to his TASTE, To this end he 70
auested q senorits not to dance with the
Yankees. This fact being made known to
the officers of negro regiments, one of
them drew 8 pistol, and with it knocked
Coytins's chief staff officer entirely off his
uinS a, general MUS came very near
ensuing, but it ended in loud and long
drawn curses, without further demonstra-
ton of q knocks1own character. Whether
the knocking down of Cortins's chief of
staff in the house of his friends will affect
certain stealing transactions along the Rio
Grande, remains 10 be seen.
