ADVANTAGES and FACILITIES.
This large annual enrolment which exceeds
that OF any school or college in the State and
that Of any State Normal School in any other
State, enables us 80 give unqualled facilities in
the rangeof studies pursued and in the num-
ber OF classes sustained In each branch, so that
aperson entering n. any time, will be likely to
hind such classes as he desires.
But the unprecedented success ofthis school
is owing mainly TO its peculiar and effective
methods OF instruction and management. For
the most part, pupils will accomplish more
than Twice rs much, here,- IN any department
cfstudy as in any other institution in the
same length OF time, while the expenses are
much less, here, than elsewhere.
Both sexes enjoy eqnal advantages, and this
Is the only institution Of any reputatio on, in
which this is really true. aICT. n

Work has been commenced at Minneapolis
on the st. Louis l. Minneapolis Railroad, and
the Tribune sage there ia now scarcely doubt
that the grading Of the entire road from that
city to Carver will be ready for the iron early in
the fall.
The Decatur {nl.) Republican Of the 23d
eayB: "1t hAs been known here for some time
that tbs only Obstacle in the WAY Of the early
completion OF our new route to Chicago lay Ia
the difficulty Of securing the right OF Way into
that city. It is true that a sort of arrangement
was entered into some months since. between
the Rock Island Road and the Decatur Compn-
Of the former from Mokena to Chicago
distance OF 81 tnilea-but complications arose
which seemed to indicate that other arrange
uents would have to be made. We are happy,
however, to announce that no such trouble
will ba necessary. 4 telegram from Mr.. Bpody
was received on Tuesday By Major E. o. Smith,
which states that the understanding with the
Rock Island Company IL perfectly satisfactory,
and the Engineer Corps will proceed 1t once to
locate tho line, We are unable to say when
active operations will be commenced, but there
can be no doubt that the work win
be pushed rs rapidly as circumstances
will permit, and that the entire line will be
completed in avery bnef period. It should be
only little over 100 miles tn length, and thst
it paseess through country very favorable
tor railroad building. Judging from the man-
ner in which the Same company pushed the st.
Louis Road, and the fact that the l4tt er passes
through county much rougher and more
broken than the route to Chicago, it is fair to
presume that the time spent in completing the
line to its northern terminus will ba less than
was consumed in reaching st. Louis"

II is reported to us, on what we believe to
Ire Trustworthy authority, that there is this
Foundation for the report that a pail-up life
insurance policy for fifty Thousand dollars
was to be given to tho President. It IL said
TINT General Horace Porter. one Of the Prcsi-
dent secretaries, and A1r, James Wheeler, hia
hrother-in-law, havo been for some time solic-
iting subscriptions to this end also, that in
Philadelphia ten Thousand dollars were sub
sc1ibed; and that in this city nearly dozen
subscriptions were obtained, and among them
that ct Collector Grinnea.
No policy has yet been issued, and probably
none will be, 30 it is now said. That is to say,
the project does not meet with favor. We
hope this is trua. It is not pleasant to be told
that suct piece Of begging orignated III ths
Presidents household; and If thestory !. ,rne
