Mr.. GEORGE PEABODY AND HIS SECOND
GIFT TO THE SoUTH.-The New Bedford
Mercury, of July 7th, says Mr.. George
Peabody's second gift to promote educa-
tion in the Southern States is even great
or than it had stated it to be, and adds;
Besides the valuable stocks, worth mere
than million Of dollars, he adds 1884, 900
in Florida bonds, which will ultimately
be paid, and will swell the amount Of his
gifts to this one object to nearly $4,000,
900. The letter to the trustees, advising
them of this new gift, was written by Mr..
Peabody himself, and shows the clearness
and vigor of his intellect, notwithstand-
ing the fact that he is suffering from n
disease of serious nature, painful and
prostrating, and which, he is conscious,
must before long terminate his life. This
interview between the great philanthro-
rist, lying upon his sick bed and the dis
tinguished gentlemen who have SO wisely
administered his magnificent charity, was
an exceedingly affecting one.
A description of it, and particularly of
Mr.. Peabody's remarks, not only in re-
gard to the educational scheme and what
he expects to result from 1t, but in rela-
ton to the war; would intensity the pub
lie regard for him, not only as one of the
greatest of benefactors, but as ore of the
purest of patriots-never for moment
faltering in his allegiance to the govern
ment, though never forgetting that the
North and South constitute one country.
He will not live to see the full fruits of
his noble charity. But the great banker,
in his best days, never embarked in a
scheme more certain Of success or prom
ising more magnificent returns. His edu-
cational fund is accomplishing and will
consummate what changes of the consti-
tuition could never effect, tho existence of
real and abiding harmony between the
North and tho South.
Mr.. Peabody we learn, designs to ad.
minister upon his own estate. Death
will find him possessed of only means
sufficient for becoming burial. He will
leave nothing for heirs to quarrel about.
His vast estate will not be tied up in
chancery, at the instigation of some ava
ricious heir at law, to the sore disappoint-
ment and suffering.of needy benefciaries
J He will finish his good work.

BEAUTIFUL WoRDs.-The following ex.
tract is from an address delivered before
the graduating class of Gen. Lees Col
lege by Rev. DR.. Holland, formerly of
Kentucky. His word-painting is not ex-
celled by anything we have seen for many
years, while his reference to Virginia and
Stonewall Jackson will enhance the ap-
probation of this beautiful extract:
Where, if not here, may one teel, in eX-
patiating upon nobleness of character,
that the theme is in echoing accord with
the spirit of the place. We are near the
grave of martyr chieftain, whose name
need not mention in tho village which
his memory, like precious spikenard pour
ed out of the rudely broken alabaster
box of pure life, has anointed with per-
fumes that breathe of Paradise We are
on the hallowed soil of State which, for
the illustrious dead that sleep beneath it's
cloud.tretted roof, seems natures own
Westminster Abbey. It's valleys, like al
coved aisles, are hung to fancys eye with
battle scenes that depict the sacrifice of
self for principle. Its mountains, like me-
mortal pillars, record the pureheartedness
of heroes who, in the path of. duty, march
ed up to death as to q friend, and took
from his outstretched hand the victor's
wreathes of immortality. Under its sod,
as in sacred crypts, repose tho dust of an
army whose remembered deeds of patri-
otic valor make us proud, even amid all
the corruptions which degrade our race,
that we, too, are men. From its wind
swept forests, as from the pipes OF a
grand cathedral organ, rolls ceaseless
requiem for the fallen, which ever and
anon swells with swifter timo into mar
tial strain that bids the living emulate
their virtues. Here, then, as in quiet
chapel Of this grand old State Basilica--
where to study excellence of manhood is
to hold intercourse with the spirit of it's
best exampe-so order the steps Of your
ambition, that when, in pursuing it's &C.
lestial end, you depart from the time
shore of life it may be but to join tho
gloriied band of soldiers for the true and
right who have already crossed over the
river and, with Jackson, arc resting in
the shade of the trees

-O On certain occasion, "Damon and
Pythias" was being played at q theater
in Washington. In the last act, as Da-
mon was about to be led to execution,
straining his eyes in the effort to discern
his friend in the distance, and asking, "Is
he coming?" locomotive whistle sound
ed close by. "He'll be here in the next
train,'' shouted a wag, and in an instant
the emotion was changed to laughter.
