DEATH OF Mr.. BuRLlNeAmE.


The telegraph announces the death Of
Hon. Anson Burlingame at st. Petersburg,
on .he Esd instant, after an Illness Of only
four days. The news created profound
sensation in Europe, particularly in Paris.
where Mr.. B. was well known and highly
esteemed. In this country a similar feeling
Of regret and sorrow prevails, When Mr..
Banks made the announcement in the Z. s.
House Of Representatives yesterday, be is
said TO have been affected to tears, the two
gentlemen having been bosom friends from
early youth, and the House participated in
his emotion. The death of Mr.. BuriDgame
is sad misfortune to the Celestial empire
whose Envoy 20 the treaty-making powers
Of Europe and America he las been since
the latter part Of 1867. He had succeeded
in making treaties with the United States,
France, England and Prussia, and was ne.
gotiating with the Court of St. Petersburg
at the time of his death Mr. Burlingame
was born in 1872 ia New Berlin { N. -,
and was, consequently, about So years ofage.
He graduated at Harvard University in
1886, studied law, and practiced at the Bos-
ton bar; was member of the Massachusetts
Senate, and subsequently, member Of the
Thirty-fourth, Thirty fifth and Thirty-sizth
Congress. In 1861 he was appointed by Mr.
Lincoln Minister TO Austria and subsequent
ly Minister to China, in which capacity he
continued to act until November, 1867
when Prince Kung, the head of the Chinese
government, appointed him Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to
the treaty making powers of Europe and
America. He was in fair way of accom-
plishing all the objects of his mission when
his death took place. Harrisburg Telegraph

A SMART muIatto member Of the Virginia
Legislature made quite a sensation the
other day by declaring in debate, Gentle
men, | have some of the best white blood
in Virginia coursing in my veins. On one
side can claim as high and honorable
descent as any Senator in this Chamber
Gentlemen, l am your brother! l am also the
colored mans brother. I represent both

African, and l desire to DO justice to my kin
on both sides The Southern Democracy
when dealing with the colored statesmen,
should be very careful whom they strike.
1t is not every white man South who knows
his own brother This able legislator, it
seems, has not only gumption enough to
know his friends from his enemies, but to
know who his relatives as well. The

Little Rock Conference Female College

At the last meeting Of the Little Rock

the subject of founding female college,
in this city, for the education Of the
daughters Of our growing State, was full

consisting of the following gentlemen,
was appointed to take such action as they
might deem necessary for the accom-

Pursuant to call by the agent, the fol
lowing members of the board met in this
city on Friday last, to take some definite
steps in regard to the matter: Rev. Il.
S. Hunter, VIM. Thompson, Rev. c. w.

For q number of years this subject has
been occasionally agitated in our amidst
but this is the first definite action that
has yet been taken. Having in success
ful operation college for young men,
with facilities equal to many older insti-
tutions of the kind in the country, all feel
the want ofa similar institution foryoung
ladies. Instead of sending them beyond
the limits of the State, for an education,
they should be taught at home; and we
trust that our liberal minded
of whatever religious or politi-
cal faith will second the noble efforts now
being made for the attainment Of this oh
ect, by generous contributions. l.. Il.
