;PhilosophicaI Plan.

RAILWAY.
;PhilosophicaI Plan.
IN this Seminary we have been led to adopt
the Philosophic plan of each Professor and his
class devoting their whole time and energies to
a single study until completed. We have been
led 10 this by seeing SO many students
disheartened, or rendered superficial, by being
required to carry forward three or four studies
at the same time. Then each Professor was re-
Quired to hear so many recltations and the time
was so broken up that il was out of the question
TO give each subject and each pupil the required
attention. In Introducing this method, we ex-
pected TO be able to make our classes much more
thorough and practical, but not only are We
succeeding beyond our expectations IN this par
ticular, but we are accomplishing a great deal
more in the same time, as well as doing IL much
better In graduating, one-third of the time
and expense is saved, matter of great consider
alton TO every one. After thoroughly mastering
the Common Branches, students complete the
Scientific Course in two, instead OF three years,
as heretofore required; devoting three months
to Algebra, two TO Geometry and two to Chem
istry, and one month each TO all the other stud
les. Our course is full and practical, and the
time allotted to each study enable US to do vast
ly more with il than is usually done. We ex-
plain this on the principle, that men show the
greatest results in a given time, when they de-
vote their whole energies to one thing. 1t has
been claimed that students deyoting their who'll
time to one study would become weary, but we
find instead of this being true, that the student
having an opportunity to concentrate his whole
energies upon one subject, succeeds, and as q
result of his success. an enthusiasm is awaken
ed before unknown in schools: the Student be-
comes genuine philosopher IN search OF truth.
New Studies are commenced monthly, at which
time students can enter and remain long as
desired. Glasses for Fall and early Winter, will
be formed September 18th, October 18th, and
November 9th. A class will commence Algebra,
November 9th, and go regularly through with
Mathematics. By our plan we propose to make
this more thorough class than any ever con-
Quoted on the old system. Those wishing to
enter il, would do well to engage rooms soon
The department OF Music and Painting, are
now Offering the very best advantages.
The Ladies' Ornamental Course is short but the
most practical and useful. All is left out that
will not De practiced in woman's appropriate
sphere. And they are made so thorough, and
such q love of science is induced that they will
carry il into and adorn every department oflife;
and not as is too frequently done. lay ii all aside
as soon as they graduate.

" Dexter a Morrill, Colt--A Curious
ENpOSlirG.

A discovery has been made in regard
to the famous trotting horse Dexter,
now owned by Mr.. Robert Bonner, OF
the New York Ledger, which is destined
to create no little stir among the horse
fauciers Of this country, and at the same
time take the credit Of that celebrated
horse from the Hambletonian stock,
(where it has always been awarded and
place it to the credit of the Morrill, blood,
where it belongs. In short Dexter
was raised in Danville, Caledonia county
his sire was the old French Morrill,
horse, and his dam the Bovee mare
This, in brief, is the. pedigree Of this
wonderful horse, as the story goes. The
person who has made this discovery is
Cornelius Russell, man who came here
from Rockford, Illinois, last year. The
manner of the discovery, as we under
it, was in this wise:
Mr. Russell became impressed with the
similarity of Dexter to the Morrill, stock,
and by considerable correspondence and
inquiry, he traced his horse back from
New York to Chicago, from Chicago to
Lower Canada, thence to Concord, N. H.,
and from the latter place to Mr.. Bovee,
now of Passumpsic, but who then lived
in Danvillc. On talking with Mr.. Bovee,
the latter said he raised certain colt
such year, which was an uncommon
likely one and brought him a good price.
This colt went to Concord, N. H., after
which he lost trace of him. In describ-
ing this colt he described Dexter perfect
ly and those who have seen this celebrat-
ed horse, know that he is peculiarly mark
ed. In addition to this we understand
Mr.. Russell has the affidavits of all the
parties through whose hands Dexter pass
ed from the time he left Mr.. Bovee until
he came into the possession of Rrussall
at Chicago. Onlearning these facts, Mr..
Russell purchased the Bovee mare at
once, and together with the Cushman
and Richard Flint horses, which he al
ready owned, started last Monday for
Illinois. This, in brief, is history of a
remarkable case of horse imposture, and
the result of its exposure must set up the
Morrill, blood, while those who have paid
such enormous prices to get the same
breed as Dextcr-as they supposed
must feel rather cheap Caledonian (St

CANNIBALIsM-The Hinge Of one Of the
Marqucsas Islands is at New York, and
will soon come to New England. He
was originally from Rochester, N. Y,
and now rejoices in the name of "Can-
nibal Jack" He says he has never tast-
ed human flesh, but his subjects eat il
with great relish. Their favorite meth
cd of cooking men and women, accord
ing to their kings statements, is as fol
lows: They take them just as you
would a pig, clean them and stuff them
with sweet-scented leaves and hot stones
Then they lay hot stores on the ground
for an oven, cover them with leaves, put
the bodies on these, then more leaves and
hot stones, and finally layer of earth
/ to keep in the heat and the steam from
the green leaves" Prisoners of war and
white men who happen to fall in theil
handsare their principal victims. "Jack
says he has several times saved white
men from being eaten by his subjects
but all his efforts to have them abandon
their habits Of cannibalism have been
entirely in vain. Despite the un-Amer
lean habits of his Marquesas subjects,
he proposes to return and take up the
cares of royalty, which he has Temporal
rily laid aside.

Connecticut Election.
A GRAND REPUBLICAN VICTORY

GRAND REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
The State election in Connecticut &C.
Cured on Monday, and resulted in
very handsome republican triumph, more
50, than before for two years. The Re
publicans elect their governor and entire
State ticket, gain two Congressman, and
carry the legislature. Even in New
Haven, when the democratic candidate
for Mayor was elected last year by near
ly two thousand majority, the citizens
candidate is elected over the democratic
candidate by 100 majority. The repub-
licans have gained generally throughout
the State, the issues have been squarely
put before the people, and the verdict Of
the State is decided and emphatic in ia.
vor of the republican policy. Thus the
last foothold of the democracy in New
England, has been swept from them

Cost of Official Negllgence.

The Philadelphia Press thus speaks OF
the cost of an official neglect of duty on
the part of Earl Russell: Five or six
wears ago, the Emperor Theodorus of Alb
yssinia, as he called himself, addressed
an autograph letter to Queen Victoria.
As q matter of course, it was opened and
read by the then Foreign Secretary,
Earl Russell. Not thinking it worthy OF
being placed in Victoria's hands, nor
even of having its receipt acknowledged,
it was placed out of sight in one of the
pigeon-holes of the Foreign Office. Not
receiving any reply, Theodorus consid-
cred himself insultcd, and laid hold of
certain German and British missionaries
and travellers, whose zeal or curiosity
had carried them into Abyssinia. Treat
ing these prisoners in a very cruel man
ner, and not paying any attention to re-
iterated requests to liberate them, Theo-
dorus received intimaton that Abyssinia
would be invaded by large British
force, Trusting largely to the inaccessi-
bility Of his dominions, Theodorus ridi-
culed the idea of invasion-the object
being, as he thought, only to recover a
few insignificant Europeans. The honor
of England, however, was at stake, and
war with Abyssinia was assented to by
the British Government and Parliament
while Lord Derby was Prime Minister.
The result was the recovery Of the pris-
oners and the defeat and death of Theo-
dorus. Great exultation prevailed
throughout England. But, the time
having arrived when the cost had to be
ascertained and paid, it now appears
that this little war has already cost 9S,-
100000 (say, $43,000,O00), and will Ger
tainly run up to almost 100000. II
carries with it the dearly purchased NOR
al: when official personages receive let
tiers, it is best to answer them before they
are put away out of sight in the-pigeon
holes of any public department. Lore
Russell's negligence caused England al
expenditure Of about $45,000,000.

RIGHT EVERY TIME.AA correspon-
dent OF the Baltimore Gazette says that
when President Grant was consulted
about the kellogg proposition TO parcel
out the offices among the States, he de-
nounced the idea and declared that SO
tar as he was concerned he would take
every officer of his administration from
Marblehead, in Massachusetts, if neces-
sary to secure faithful and efficient off.
GERS. He had no patience Che said
with the notion of dividing out offices to
the States, as if there were so much plum
der to be distributed. The public SER
vice alone should be consulted, and not
localities.
