ARTEMus WARD on TIE CARDIFF
dANT.--lt is now suggested that the
Cardiff Giant IS one of Artemus Wards
lost wax figures. One of the papers
quotes the following account OF the
great showman's visit to Utica as cor
rohorative evidence:
In the fall OF 1856 l showed my
show in Utiky, a truly great sltty i'll

'sThe people gave me cordyal re-

ditions to find further on, new start
ing point, for life is not lorg enough
to enable him to bring the immense
weight of antiquity abreast with the
bard.tacts Of these days. One student
coming to this College wished to con
tnuc his Latin studies, but the oppor-
tunity was refused, not because there
were no professors who could teach it,
but because it is the object of this IN
stitution to demonstrate that young
men and women can acquire all that is
valuable in an education without assist
ance from the dead languages.
CHARACTER AND PROGRESS OF THE
STUDENTS.
Something is to be said of the char
acter and progress OF the Students
Their parents struggled hard to make
homes in the new country, and their
children have learned to be industri-
Gus and to attach value to money and
time. Of90 students in one class, the
first year, only one failed to atte ia the
next. Government is established, and
laws are enforced by the students them
selves, though | understood they re.
ceivcd hints as to what was proper. A
council OF seven is elected by all the
students; which reports every Monday
Oh conduct, and their clerk makes due
entry The occasion is important. for
the whole asscmbage is formed into
grave and dignificd body, and it OBJ
serves all the forms and rules OF q high
court. II serious oftense has been
committed, an investigation is had in
legal form, and when proved the cul-
prlt may be sentenced 70 two days
confinement in his room on bread and
water. This Judgment is risidly en-
forced, the condemned offers no resist
ance, nor does he appeal to President
or Professor, for neither has hand or
authority IN the matter. was assured
that this government is a great success.
In their studies they seek to be thor
ough and in reciting they ask many
questions, that they may understand
he subject in all its bearings. lnshort,
they seem to try to get all they can for
their time and money. Their societies
are two, one of literary, and the 9TH
er of scientific character. OF course
there are some deficiencies. ! noticed
they need a good Professor IN Horti-
culture, and that perhaps something
more of polite literature would be ben
cficial; but these, and still other things.
are certain to come in time. On the
whole. it seems to me that the Iowa
Agricultural College is an honor to the
State. and that the prorer course is
pursued 1t may seem small matter,
but | will state that where the young
women are OF the same age, and have
had the same eopportunitie asthe young
m n, they prove themselves fully equal

Dr. Champlin, one of the predcces-
sors OF DR.. Lyman Beccher, a. hitch
field, fell into religious monomania,
the burden whereof was that he had
sinned against the Holy Spirit, and in
consequence was certain OF eternal
damnation. But the good old man
expressed his entire acquiescencc IN the
divine will, aud began to prepare him
self Tor his internal residence. 1t did
not seem to him the tittcst possible

suitable for glorityins his Maker; but

He resolved to open a prayer meeting just

IEncore deux seniaines de sscheresse
intense d ajouter aux six Gu huit Qui les
ont precedses. Cette secheresse est sans
doute un avant- courenr dun hiver rigou-
reux, mortel pour les, ,animaux qui ne Sc
ront pas Inverness. 1'herbe est aujour-
d'hui brAl6e an ras de- terre, ct ne pousse
plus; ct ce quill do plus fachenx c'est
qu'elle ne pourra pousser avant les gla-
ces, qui viendront tuer ce qui pourra en-
core en- tester. =
Les proprietaires de vacheries ont de-
want eux uhe vilaine perspective.
