THE registry in Virginia shows that
the blacks outnumber the white yo-
tiers largely. The fact seems to go
hard with the Democracy. Yet, we
cannot see why it should, for time and
again have we been told that the ne
gro would be controlled easily by his
former master. This being the case,
we should think there would be great
rejoicing overthe increased political
power secured by the negro vote. But
the mourning Rachels of Democracy
will not be comforted with such con-
ISOLATION, and mourn as those who have
no hope.

THE Providence Journal lifts a
warning voice against immoderate
muscular exercise, of which there is
some danger in the present passion
for base ball, rowing, ETC. That these
pastimes may be followed to an inju-
rious excess, it says, is shown by
facts developed in connection with
the recent death of a student of
Brown University, Mr.. Lemuel Gros-
venor Perry. A post mertem exani-
nation of his remains showed that
the death was caused by an abscess re-
sulting from Inflammation of the psoas

ercise at the time of the University

THE louisville Courier is greatly
disguised with Admiral SEMMEs. The
Admiral is equally disguised with the
Courier Democracy. Both have am
pie grounds for being displeased with
each other. The Courier desires the
Admiral to look to his own house
hold and be sure that its walls are
not glass before he begins to cast
stones" The idea of "a household
with glass walls is unique and alto
gether original with the Courier. We
trust that the Admiral will heed its
advice, and see whether his house
hold is made of glass. If it is, he
should be careful aud throw no more
stones. If he continues such sport
hemay have the painsof hearing the
crashing of his household by huge
powders from the Courier Office.
Such catastrophe might prove more
disastrous than the crashing Of the
iron hail from the Kearsarge through
the sides of his III fated Alabama.

BLACKBERRY WINE.-The Dayton
Journal prints the following rules for
making blackberry wine.
8 Measure your berries and bruise
them: to every gallon add one quart
of boiling water. Let the mixture
stand twenty-four hours, stirring oc-

into a. cask, to every gallon adding
two pounds of sugar; cork tight and
let it stand till the following October,
and you will have wine ready for use
without further straining or boiling"

A COMMITTEE of the Common Coun-
ell of Pittsburg have recently made a

Louis, to obtain information about
its best method of paving streets,
more especially concerning the Nj
cholson pavement, and as the result
oe their investigation, it is stated that
it is conceded the Nicholson pave
ment, when honestly laid down, al
though at first more expensive than
powders. is the best, and. in the
long run, perhaps the cheapest. 1t
is said that the Committee have OBJ
tanned facts Of such character. and
and in such amount, as to remove ev-
cry doubt and prepare the way for its
general adoption in that city.
And yet, notwithstanding the In
vestigations of the Pittsburg Commit
tee, the yexed question is by no means
settled. In Cincinnati the experi--
ment Of introducing the Nicholson
pavement has not proved successful.
There appears to be no question, at.
least, that on the Ohio river cities
it is more expensive than powders.

HARVARD CoLLEGE.-All of the
colleges and institutions of learning
in the country are in very flourish
ing condition, and the number of
students in attendance the coming year
will be greater than at any previous
time. But none are so strong, fnan-
cially, or in the number of students,
as +" Old Harvard In looking over
the proceedings of the Commence,
ment occasion last week, we find sew
eral items of interest. President
HILL, at the Commencement dinner,
said: saf
1t has been customary for several
years, at these meetings, for the
President to report 70 tho alumni the
state aof the University. L could
wish for the sake Of variety, that I
might not always be obliged to report
that it is still IN fo1rishing condi-
ton; but inasmuch as we last week
admitted the largest ~class,~I think,
that has ever been admitted-one

President Hill said further:
Quite an important change has been.

studies by the undergraduates. The
faculty and corporation have gone
back to that system which was yinau-

ment of that system, by which the
student is allowed, in the beginning of
his freshman year, to make his choice
substantially between classical and
historical studies on the one hand,
and mathematical aud physical stud

the change think, although it has so
