He is a "right good fellow "a standing
dish at every ball and dinner party, and
we'll up in things past, present, and to come,
here and everywhere. He himself gives
the cream Of good dinners, and every guest
finds
nHis soups scientiflc--his fishes quite prime
His pates superb-and his outlets sublime
He opened five letters Of invitation to
dinner, and this is what / desire to draw
attention to-in three of them the menu
was enclosed. Thus golrnlstS are able to
know beforehand where their tastes will be
best consulted, and to accept accordingly.

REV MR. EvERETT's ADDRESS BEFORE TIE
ALuMNT-oTHER MATTERS.
special Dispatch by Western Union Line.l
BEcNswIcK, July 13.-The address before
the Alumni, by Rev. g. @. Everett, of Bangor,
to-day,was upon The College VS.. the World 2
He discussed the educational influences Of the
college and of practical life. He admitted that
there was mode of teaching even the living
facts of the present so that they would be life
less, and that dead language could be SO
studied as to throw a light upon the history
and character of man. He argued with great
cogency and eloquence that certain studies in
science and in literature never used in practi-
cal LIE, were eminently practical, inasmuch as
they furnished the mind with the best prepa-
ration for the discharge of the duties of his
calling, as O. merchant, legislator or lawyer
He showed how diffusive is the influence Of q
college education in refining and elevating the
tone of society, and said If you could not tell
man educated in college from one educated by
business, You could tell whether or not a man
had been brought up in community of col
leges
The address occupied an hour and quarter,
and was closely listened to and frequently APP
plauded.
The Alumni Association met Immediately
after the address, at Chemical Hall, Governor
Chamberlain, the President, in the chair
More than hundred graduates were present.
1t was proposed to raise among the Alumni
$4,000 TO complete the Memorial Hall, and
fund of one hundred thousand dollars for the
general uses of the college; and a committee
was raised to solicit subscriptions among the
graduates. . fifs fsaftae Il.
