FROUDE ON EDUCATION.

Mr.. Froude, the English historian,
hos been appointed Rector OF tho
University OF. st. Andrews; and on
the day OF his inauguration he DE-
livered an address To the studsuts.
which, in many OF its Passages, has a
u"iveral application, and especially in
those which relate to education rs a
mcans Of Independence.
IL said there were two ways of be.
inS independent. Ii a. ma, required

hc produced little, he must require

Old scholars before his audience the
mon whose studies added nothing to
the material wealth OF the world, aid
VIII" were content to be poor The
thirty thousand students who assem-
bled at Paris from all parts Of Europe
to hear Abclard hud the use OF their
own legs i'll going there, and were
satisfied. They did not grumble be-
cause they had no money wherewith
to ride. They represented alike the
con.pensations OF he intellect and of
mai"al labor. They had taken their
stand, having made thrh. own choice,
and lid nos :ook for wealth in the
sphere which they hal deliberately
accepted, knowing that wealth did
not grow there, nor. any where, out OF
: the material conditions. THIS was
the most important thing Eor man to
make up his mind to i.s the outset Of
lite. Hu then knows what he is doing
and walks inteIligently through the
world, without quarrelling with the
! facts.
But the old system of education
WAS all wrong. A man of to-day
must be trained to live iu to.day-to
grapple with the energies, difficulties
; ana obstructions Of the times which
make Ills life. To cram u lads mind
with Infinite names Of things which he
never handled, places he never saw or
will sec, and statements Of facts which
he could not POSSIBLY understand, was
like loading his stomach with marbles
for bread giving him stone. A
man must earn his living; that was
the primal necessity. He must main
tain himself in honest independence.
No education WAS worth q rush that
did not aid man to do this, for the
millions must toll with their hands or
the race will soon cease to exist. But
there would come AL amelioration of
labor The benefcent light when it
descended would be light which
would make labor more productive by
being more scientific, which would
make tho humblest drudgery not un-
worthy human being, by. making it
at the same time an exercise to the
mind.
Indeed, from first to last, it was a
practical address. Educate to tho
business Of life-that WAS the burden
of it. Learn the MOI ern in prefer.
ence to the dead langrages, and learn
many OF them. Do, not forget to
establish your mind in the physical
sciences either. They will be sure TO
prove Of iues,imable value at some
time or other vi ones life. And above
all things, be honest. As John Knox
said, "Know God, aud stand by the
good cause, and use your time we'll"
This is the whole duty OF man.

Another Curious Entertainment.
DIvINxs, LAWYERS AND cHuRoKMkN ALL
MAsoUERADIN0.

A dinner party WAS recently given
in Fifth Avenue, which was at once
novel and d'stingue. The guests com
p'issd eminent lawyers, doctors OF
divinity and medicine, men Of letters
and members Of the military and ma.
val service. The host is widely
known III both hemispheres as an &C.
complished scholar, q powerful theo.
logical controversial and Jealous
churchmsn, and an ardent lover OF
the arts, 6e|ies-iethes, and good cheer.
Lis devotion to philosophy by NO
means interfere with his relish for the
gayer amenities of society. Our So
ciaSfestivities and resources of recre,
alton owe much to his happy inven-
ton. To him belongs, among other
things, that Of recent grating Of the
brilliant and graceful features of the
Augustan age upon our social recrca-
tions.
Tho menu of this dinner was very
choice, and was admirably seasoned
with attic salt. As entrenaets to the
t"hh .fruti and biscuit glace, there
were placed before the guests, by the
servants, a variety Of mysterious
scaled. packages, resembling large
notices. A very distinguished cap
tain Of Mexican war and novel wri-
ting fame, was the first to attack the
portcntous little mystery before him.
1t unroled with u report like y pis-
tol shot. Other guests followed ex-
ample, and u succession Of mimic
thunders startled the company. Un-
rolling their packages, the guests sud-
denly found themselves in possession
Of splendid set Of charactar cos.
tunes ready to be donned. These
costumes were of the lightest tissue
paper, variously and brilliantly color
ed, tastetully ornamented with gold
leaf and other materials. They rep
resented motley array of persona
ges, charactcrizing diverse nstionali-
ties and classes OF society. Being
distributed among the guests at ran
dom, and each gnests putting on the
one he received, the most amusing
contrasts were tho result. The ge-
nial man of letters was transformed
into warrior; the reverend doctor of
divinity appeared in brigand's cloak
and high pointed hat; while the
loose gown, night-cap and high top
knot Of our grandmothers fell, of
course, to the most dignified, proud
and sensitive parsonage of the COM
pany. Harlequin, as luck would have
it, came not to the sobcrest, but to a
congenial spirit, able to keep tho ta-
BILE in an incessant roar. The several
characters not only ate in their cos
umes, but made speeches, wrangled, re-
cited poems, enacting with great spirit
and abandon the roir Of the moment.
The divert,sxemsnt WAS q complete
success, giving aNost welcome varia-
ton to the customary routine of din
ner parties, and securing o fresh in
fux of life and gayety, to fuse diverse
clements and characters in one accord
of good fellowship. We heartily well
come these aesthetic novelties as u
proof that cultivated mirth il not iu-
consistent with a devotion to stern
duties, and the highest aims Of learn
ing and life. As antidotes to mental
strain, science pronounces them not
only valuable, but almost indispensa-

Grant did a very graceful
act in ordering Admiral Davis,

South Atlantic squadron, to
offer a free passage back to this
country from Brazil to any vol
untary exiles. 1t is we'll known
that large numbers of persons
from the South, in view OF the

lettering their fortunes. 1t is
also known that most of those
who sought a refuge there have
been sadly disappointed and
long to return to their native
country, but are unable to do

free passage to all such as de-
