GENERAL NOTES.

The students of Cornell University have just
celebrated revolution which the rest OF mankind have
frequently but Intellectually attempted Thcy have abol
shed the high hatthe anomaly Of ciyilAuon-that Is
cold in Winter ard hot in Summer and Citing protec-
ton against neither storm. Like all reormefs,
their exceeded the strict requirements Of the

coverings except the regulation colege-Cap Tie ceIt

tOrchlgt procession sbeeed ghosts bore and accom-
panied the remains through the STREETS OF ltaca 70 inc
funeral pyre. capariOu- colin was stuffed with tle
faed hats During the cremation cycops delivered
solemn eulogy the departed The burial OF the ashes
the students donned their gaton caps and returned
to college in a condition OF attitude.
There is high authority for believing that
men only, "of creatures rational, " levy cruel war;
wasting the earth, each other TO Destroy IL would be
pleasant also TO believe has been lately asserted by
some prominent ladies, that II women held control In
public affairs there would be bloodshed. But
such theory opposed by what the great antagonist OF
shams would call the Nerites," and espeelaly wheh
women assocate Themselves together is unsafe to pre-
seiles for instance while the men were ATTACKING WIN
persopal violence the the present Gov
ernmerlt a womeu's club had passed much more for
midable resolutions. Sidney smith mas recoroeu w
opnon that the roasting alive passengers railways
IN England would stop until bishop was burnt
Similarly the womens club OF Marsees declare accord

their city becomes It's victim.
Even the rough life and downright realities
Of existence mining regions fail to rub OF some OF
the old superstOns. There yet, appears people
to be found who credulou enough to be imposed on
by men who profess to perceive the whereabouts OF
water and OF precious metals underground by some SUI
pernaural means and without experience in surface oh
seryatons scientific induction. one Of these mediums
OF suberranean knowledge writes TO THE TRIBUNE, as
sertng his marvellous powers and tolls IN this connet

have been endeavoring sell out To coners; but
the latter prefer 10 experiment for themselves The op
eratOns that promise most success OF the tunneng
kind; one OF these tunnels into White Pine Mountain i
already begun and is intended 10 penetrate TO dstanc"
OF more than yards IL Is 10 De hoped that the tun
mel is not projected upon faith In the indications fur
nished by anybody who Processes to have the faculty

airs from Heaven blasts from the other place that fur
nish his Impressions he does not say; but IL would be
advisable for OF his deuded victims TO test his
senstiyeness TO external influences by the personal
