sciences. in civil and mechanical engineer
ing, and in the application of the sciences to
agriculture, mechanics, mining, the working
of metals, and manufacturing, than can be
furnished in the old four years curriculum
OF our colleges. They are thus making the
University answer the proper ends of such
an Institution, by furnishing thorough tram
ing for youth who desire to enter upon any
useful pursuit in life.
We have no doubt that the University
will soon have larger number Of students
than were ever seen within its walls at one
time. This place has peculiar advantages,
as the site for college. 1t is easily accessi-
bic by rail and steamboat from every direc-
ton. The unsurpassed beauty of the seem
cry, and the saiubrity of the climate render
it very attractive. The city is large enough
to furnish to young men that stir Of active
life and those advantages Of cultivated and
high-toned society, which are not unimpor-
tant helps in an education, The expenses OF
a student here are not more than one half or
one third as large as they are in the colleges
in the large cities. In this connection We
may add that there are several scholarships,
which pay the tuition of deserving young
men.
We are gratifed to learn that the lauda-
bic efforts of the Trustees and the Faculty
to enlarge the usefulness OF the University
are not unapprecnted. \ new interest IN
it's welfare has been awakened through the
State and among the Alumni, who are scat
tered over the whole country. Enough
young men to form a fine class-a much
larger class than has entered for several
years-haye already announced their inten-
ton Of presenting themselves for examina-
ton at Commencement. We are confident
that the Institution Is entering upon a career
Of more thanits former prosperity. We
trust that its many friends throughout the
State and elsewhere, viii second the effort:
of the Trustees and the Faculty, by speedily
completing the subscription, and thus enabl,
the University to enter upon its next veal
with One Hundred Thousand dollars IN ii
treasury in addition to its present resources

President johnson is in Boston Monday for
the first time in his life. He has not even
been in New England before, and in fact he
knows little by personal observation Of the
North as section. His present trip is con-
sequently something Of an event in his life.
We trust be will be received with the res
pect due to the head Of the nation, and if he
will make good use of his opportunities for
making himself acquainted with the clear,
intelligent and strong convictions of the
Northern masses, and their firm, yet not
indicative, determination in reference to
the reconstruction of the Southern States
and in support Of the policy of Congress, the
whole country may be the gamer by bis

ANNEXATION A correspondent oil the
Boston Traveller going through Canada
writes
All through Canada, on the boats, along
the canal, at the Falls, and at every oppor-
tunity, the annexation Of Canada to the
United States was preached and discussed.
Among a great variety OF people with whom
conversation was held only one was found
that did not heartily agree that 1t would
be a good thing to be annexed and let the
star spangled banner wave to the North
Pole.
The exception to this universal feeling.
declared with a good deal Of brusquentss
that the Americans could not rule them
selves much less Canada that they were no
fighters. and they ought not 10 let the Re
mans come to Canada, and by the way the
Fenians are a great scare and disturb beyond
measure the minds of these bOrdorers. /
only answered by asking him II be bad
heard Of the Queens Own and the battles
Of Ridgway and Fort Erie, at which the
fellow dropped his head and the subject,
while the American eagle gave pytIl
scream, and the institutions were gl0rIhed
in the presence Of crowd Of attentive lis
teners. There isn't a doubt, that with a
fair presentation of the whole question to
the people of Canada, they would vote two
to one to be annexed to the United States.
Let 'em come.

Reconstruction Matters.

The President has issued an order to the
Department Commanders at the South,
through the Adjutant Generals Office, d.
recting them to conform, on the nineteen
points mentioned, to the opinion Of the At
torney General. The various points have
sole reference to the registration Of Southern
voters, stating definitely in detail what classes
are disqualified. The order will admit to
registration many late rebels who were ex-
cluded under the orders Of the Department
generals.
Gen. Sheridan, who was directed to extend
the time allowed for registration in New Or
leans to August LIST " unless he had good
reasons to the contrary, reports his reasons,
which seem to be tolerably " good, to Gen.
Grant, a. follows:
My reasons for closing registration in this CT
ty were because had given the city two and a
half months, and there were no more to register.

TINS President has had a very kind recep-
ton in Boston lie was welcomed with
speeches by Gov. Bullock and the Mayor
and other dignitaries, and put through the
lions Of the Hub, IN grand style, the citizens
turning out everywhere in crowds to look at
him and Mr.. Seward. He made several little
speeches, in which he told the people that
he didn't come to make speeches; that
without egotism" he could say that his
life was devoted to the country and the Con-
stitution, and that every honest man was his
brother and that their reception Of him
was very gratifying to him, and he didn't
think it would detract from their own repu-
tation. OF course we all know that what,
ever Mr.. johnson says is wholly without
egotism, and the various little speeches
made by him on this tour do not on an aver.
age contain much more than three Is to
every two sentences.
Mr.. Seward was the guest of Senator SUM-
ner, and at the chief reception made some
what extended speech, in which We find the
following piece Of good sense, which is
worth copying:
We have got to learn this one simple habit of
acquescing in the choice we ourselves make of
President for four years, and then, at the txpi-
ration Of that time, improve upon the last
choice by making as much better one as we have
the sense and wisdom to do. There is the whole
solution Of our troubles.
We think the people have pretty general
impression that they can Improve upon the
last choice, if Mr.. johnson can be said to
have been, in any sense, the choice Of the
people and that they intend fully to adopt
that solution Of our troubles.

The CABINET ORGAS.-The most valuable
and distinctive characteristic Of the Mason *
HamlIn instruments is undoubtedly their quail
" Of tone. There is a liquid smoothness and
purity, freedom from harshness and hardness
Of character. which Is very notable and praise
worthy. Their instruments have a near an
proaeh to that round sorority which is sought
for in the dispasons Of a pipe organ. The "a
pidiiy Of their action, the quickness with which
the tone responds when key is touched, il also
a notable excellence. Their perfection IN this
respect extends their capacity to light, rapid
music, as well as those more slow and somber
strains which have been classed as organ music.
