The University.

The University.
There are ninety-one students present for duty
Since the establishment of the University ty-Janu
ary, S66-there have been hundred and sil
martriculates
Literary.
Mrs. Clara Mundt, the author of Joseph Seconc
and his Court, has recently published another new
historical novel, entitled Germany IN Storm ant
Stress Deutschland IN tStaun, und Drang.) L
has not been translated into English yet.
Garry Me Back.
Reports come to us from Alabama and Georgia
that some of the freedmen who emigrated farthe
west last year, are on their way returning to th'
Atlantic States, not finding the Ell Dorado in thu
farther west to which they hurried with some
what Incorporate zeal. This is to be regretted, i
true but we hope it is not true.
Sewing Machines.
Our ladyreaders are doubtless interested in know
ing that good sewing machines may be bought il
Columbia for twenty dollars each. They are said tt
do all kinds of sewing usually required in families
They have no frame like the common machines
but are fastened with screw to the edge Of any
table, and are worked by turning crank. They
sew with one thread, and are simple in then
structure.
Confederate Dead.
There are two hundred and sixty-one graves o.
our Confederate Dead in and around Columbia, IL
the keeping and care of the Ladies of the Memoir
al Association. Under the direction of these La
dies all the dead have been removed from then
several places of rest to one place in the Cemetery
Among them are many nameless graves; nameless
because either no name was originally marked upor
their graves or else the faint tracery OF comrade
pencil has yielded to time and become iDegible, o.
else the records have perished in some other way
Matrimonial.
One exchange tells us that, novel elopemen
occurred recently at Danville, New York. A wife
became poisoned against her husband through the
Vaccinations of lover, who furnished her with
money to procure a divorce and then married her
After living with her second husband WHILE she
became convinced she had been deceived as to hel
first husband and her old love returning, she elop
ed from her second husband, running away with
her first
This sort of conduct will tend to make the situa
ton of husband rather precarious and unpleasant
Another exchange informs us that in Washing
ton woman shot man because he did not marry
in Cincinnati another shot one because he did.
E These things show that the bachelor who con-
templates-or who does not contemplate - matri'
mony, is in some danger. What is to be done!
The Rural Southerner.
We have had conversation with Mr.. K. NJ
Stokes, the protector of the Southe'ner, and be
authorizes us to say that the paper cannot appea,
earlier than the first of March.
We make this statement for Mr.. Stokes in or
der that those who are willing to wait month
longer before drawing their own differences, may
do so. Those who are pecuniariy interested in the
enterprise, we presume, will hear from the propri,
etors in proper form, some time or other. We
have not been taken into the confidence of the par
ties and therefore are not prepared to represent
them in that matter.
Our personal obligation and responsibility to the
public will, or would, commence only upon the ap-
pearance of the paper and accordingly we feel al
liberty to leave the proprietors to make whatever
explanation they may have to make, in such man,
ner as they may select, and at such times as may
suit their convenience or business arrangements.
Personal.
Prof Joseph LIE Conte, ofthe University of South
Carolina, is now in Baltimore, delivering course
of Lectures by invitation, before the Peabody In
stitute. His subject is Coal and Coal Oils. The
Peabody Institute, it will be remembered, was es
tablished several years ago by George Peabody, the
world-renowned millionaire and banker. The orig.
inal donation was $5OO,OOO; and to this another
halfmilion has recently been added, making in all
one million dollars that Mr.. Peabody has given to
this Institute which bears his name in Baltimore.
This is but one Of many munifcent donations oi
like kind that he has made.
Garibaldi has written rigmaroleletter about the
President and Congress, in which letter he shows
two things that he is as ignorant of American
politics as pig and that he is bowling radical.
Very recently he has written another letter in
which he expresses sympathy with the Cretans.- -
From this fact alone it is safe to infer that the Gre
tans are in the wrong.
Governor Orr seems to be at work and in earnest
about restoring our State to the Union. If he
succeed in the undertaking without compromising
the honor of the State land nobody believes him
the man to do that he will deserve the gratitude
of his people.
For Ladies Exclusively.
We ''rise upon personal explanation"
1t has been gently intimated to us that certain
of our lady readers were startled by mention of
stocking suspenders Their delicate sensibilities
were shocked by the audacity of such liberty
such an invasion of the holy of holies of woman S
attire
We have two or three things to say about it.
I've thought we were giving information
that was valuable.
2-For the last six months our unsophisticated
and uninitiated eyes have been opening wider and
wider as one style of tiltereens after another re-
vealed more and more of the mysteries Of woman's
undergarments. At first we considered these dis
closures as accidental; and accordingly we shut
our eyes and walked on faster. But style after
STYLE lift after lift from gaiter-boot to stocking
and from stocking to fancy elastic garter with Or
namental tassel-the mode was tending toward:
the extreme that suggested the idea that clothe!
were worn for the purpose of uncovering as much
as possible of the human form divine, Tor other
wise, as the case might chance to be.) So that II
the end, even our hitherto unsophisticated minds
became open to the conviction that all these neither
beauties, so mercilessy thrust upon public atten
tion upon the public streets, were designed and de-
sired by their fair exhibitors to I've Seen We saw
