From the Yale Courant
Our National schools Of Sciences.
Six years ago, Hon. J. ;. Morrill, then a
representative and now a Senator from the
State Of Vermont, secured the passage Of an
act in Congress by whicha very large portion
Of the public domain was set apart for the
establishment or encouragement Of scientific
schools in the several states of the Union.
The particular mode in which this grant
should be applied was wisely left to the peo-
plc OF each state, certain general restrictions
and conditions being imposed by Congress.
For example, no part Of The public grant
could be devoted to the purchase, or erection
of huilling-; and whatever form the new in
stiuuon, might assume, they must have a
definite reference to &" the liberal and urac-
teal education of the industrial classes. " On
the other hand, each state OF each institu-
ton could determine for itself course of
-uiy, the conditions Of admission, the expe-
diency of purchasing n farm, or workshop,
and the advantage of connection with or Sc
'emuee from the literary colleges already in
existence.

The End Of Four Great Wien.

The four great personages who occupy
the most conspicuous part in the history Of
the world are Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar,
aud Bonaparte.
Alexander after having climbed the dizzy
PIES bound with chaplets dipped In the
blood Of countless millions, looked down
upon . conquered world, and wspt that
there Was not smother world for him to con
quer-sst a city on Gre, and died in scene
Of debauch.
Hannibal, after having. to the astonish.

Alps, and having put to fight the armies Of
,he mistress Of the world, and slipped three
bushels Of golden rings from the fingers Of
| the slaughtered knights, ard made her
foundations quake, fed from his country,
being hated by those who once sxultingly
united his name to that Of their god, and
called him Hina Baal-died ct last in .

with his own hand, unlamented and I'M

| Cesa-, after having conquered eight hun
drsd cities. and dysing his garments in one
million Of his foes after having pursued to
death the only rival he had on earth, was
missrably assassinatsd by those be consid-
cred his dearest friends, and in that very
place tho attainment Of which bad been his
greatest ambition.
Bonaparte, whose mandates kings and
popss obeyed, after having filled The earth
with the terror Of his name, and after hav-
ing dsluged Europe in tears and blood, and
clothed the world in sackcoth, closed his
days in lonely banishment, almost literally
exed from tho world, yet where he could
sometimes see his ceuntry's banner waving
over the deep, but which did not, and could
not bring him aid.
thus these four men, who seem TO stand
the representatives of those whom the world
calls great-these four men, who each in
turn made the earth trcmble to its very
centre by their simple tread, severally died
