PRESIDENT ANGEL. Providence
Journal, after alluding TO the fact that
President Angel has consented to 60 from
the Vermont to the Michigan University,
says:
This is one of the consequences of
work well done where he is. His FIVE
years of service in Vermont has made
him known, and made it sure that he
would be in demand in yet larger fields.
1t is one of the penalties which Burling-
ton must suffer for having drawn away
from Rhode Island one of our citizens ca
pable Of so much greater work than they
have for him to do. And now having set
his mark upon the small college where he
has tried his hand, and purchased a good
degree, he goes to the great University of
the West, where his brilliant powers and
his ample academic experience will find
opportunity large enough to satisfy all rea-
sonable ambition. He will take with him
great hopes and abundant good wish, S
from troops of friends in his native state,
who count his honor their own. He goes
fresh in the forenoon of manhood, taking
with him the promise of many useful years
He takes thorough New England culture
to that great seat of education where
boys by the thousand are to feel the force
of educational processes which he will di-
rect"

THE ASCENT.

Prof Huntington informed us that it
was magnificent weather that morning at
the summit. and that we could not have
selected a better day, apparently for the
trip. He knew better than to promise us
good weather all the way through, howcv-
ever, for the changes about the mountain,
and especially at the summit, are some
times very sudden and unexpected. In
few minutes our preparations for the
upward journey were completed, for they
comprised nothing more than the buck
ling on Of knapsacks, the putting on OF
buffalo overshoes and the grasping of AL
pen.stocks. The latter is an almost in
dispensahle assistant in mountain climbing
in the winter. We had brought snow
shoes for use through the woods if necces-
sary, but we found they could as we'll be
left behind. As for overcoats, we strap
ped them upon our knapsacks or disposed
of them as best we could, for the exertion
of the walk was likely to keep us warm
enough until we got near the top, and so
it certainly proved. Our party, four in
number, left the. base of the mountain at
quarter past ten o'clock. No travellers
ever had safer, surer, more experienced
or more intelligent guides than we two
newspaper men could boast Of.
We had received ample directions in re-
gard to the ascent in case we undertook
it alone, but with two such guides as Prof
Huntington and Mr.. Clough, we could not
90 amiss. Here let me add that no per-
son ou ght attempt the ascent of Mount
Washington in winter unless he is blessed
with more than common physical strength
and hardihood, for although under favor
able circumstances and with good weather
(which means the absence of adverse winds
moro than anything else,) the trip may be
accomplished safely enough and. in truth
with greater ease than in summer, yet the
sudden and severe changes liable to occur
are in themselves dangerous, while physl-
cal exhaustion in any case might lead to
serious results. There have been two in.
stances, at least, the present season, where

\ JEFFERsoS1AN SCuEME.-lt is, perhaps,
not generally known that Thomas Jefferson
once proposed to divide every county in
Virginia into wards of five or six miles
square, like the townships Of New Eng
land: 30 that. after ali, what is now con-
>idered in Virginia an innovation, and is
unpopular from the fact that it was not the
| free choire Of the people, was originally Il
| iavorite idea OF M. Jefferson, with view,
however, to the more general diffusion Of
| learning. For this purpose he prepared Il
| bill, proposing the divisions above-men-
toned. and 10 eStablish.in each ward free
school for reading, writing, and common
arithmetic; to provide for the annual sclec-
| ton of the best subjects from these schools,
| who might receive. at the public expense,
! i higher degree Of education 1T Il district
| school: and from these district schools TO
select Il certain number Of the most promi-
ncnt subjects. to be completed ut u univcr-
| >ity, where all the useful sciences should
| be taught. Mr.. jefferson regarded this
| measure as one Of several, including the
| law ahollshing entails, the law aboIishing
| the privilege OF prlmo3eniturc, and d.
ydinc the lands Of intestateS equally among
all their children, and the law for religious
| freedom, as laying the axe at the root of
| what he called pseudo ari>tocracy." He
contended that by the education plan refer

| sought out from every condition Of life, and
completely prepared by education for de-
feating the competition Of wealth and
birth for public trust. His PROPOSE
ton had for further object to impart
to the wards mentioned those portions
of sel-government for which they are best
| qualified. 10y coniiding to them the care of
| their poor, their roads, police. elections,
the nomination of jurors, administration OF
justice in small cases, elementary exercises
Of ml.tia-ln short, as he expresses if, "to
have made them little republics, with Il
warden ut the head Of each, for all of those
which, being under their eyes, they would
better manage than the larger Republics of
the country or State" He even said such
a system would be "the keystone of the
arch Of our Government" The scheme is
mentioned in a letter of Mr.. Jefferson TO
John Adams, October %, 1913. The Vir-
ginians may perhaps find some consolation
in the township system from the reflection
that it has the sanction OF Mr.. Jefferson,
not always, however, the most practical OF

ton before the coroner RuIloff refused to
show his hat. and the coroner not insisting
upon it, the hat was left in liis possession.
and cut into pieces by him Ia his cell. He
now SAYS that bis reason for so doing was
that there was blood In the bat, coming
from severe wound made In his head by
the cold-chisel thrown down the stone
steps by the clerk, Burrows, on the night
OF The murder. Rullcf bad concealed the
wound by washing all the blood away, and
arranging his haw over il in particular
manner. His shirt was also drenchcd with
blood, and he tore that up.
1t Is impossible to induce Ruloff to make
any further revelations. He maintains the
same stolid ind ference to his fate that has
characterized him throughout his trial aud
sentence. and devotes his whole attention
to his Pathological investigations" upon
which subject he will dilate to visitors as
long as they will listen. 1t is still hoped
that Il full confession may be had from him
in regard to the planning Of the robbery
and the subsequent bloody events, although
he says that his statement to the court ut
Elmira contained all that he has to say in
the matter.

The Dead Alsve-Haow the Spirit Of a
Supposed Dead Man was afe Spirit
OF Living aIan-Triclks that are
Nufr


An aged and hichly-respccted gentleman
OF New Albany, Ind. who for many wears
has been very firm believer in spiritual
shaken in the dogma Of this ism by revela-
tons that have come directly to him through
the living instead OF the dead. Ii was in
this wise:
Over twenty years ago favorite son of the
gentleman in question went into the British
navy. Fora time the father received letters
from the son; but in the course of the passing
years these letters ceased TO arrive, and over
eight wears passed without the father re-
cciring any information from the son
other than that communicated through
spiritual mediums. Most Of the spirits
agreed that the son was dead but at one
period a medium or mediums insisted that
he was alive, and would arrive on n GER
tain vessel at a certain time at New Or
leans. The time arrived ard passed, and
even to this day no such vessel has arrived
at New Orleans.
The majority-nearlv all. indeed-of the
| mediums, for the past five or SIX years.
have agreed, in their communications with
lie father, that the son was dead that he
died. SEINE held, in Ireland others in an
island Of the ocean. The father himself be-
lieved that he frequently held communica-
was backed by the testimony Of several me-
diumS. who attested that the son had come
| to them from the spirit land and talked
with them, not unfrequently referring to
| his near relatives that were known to be
| dead. The fathers belief was so peculiar
| rs to be Il consolation to him in his sup
posed bereavement and thus the matter
stood until recently.
A few weeks ago, Just how many we can
not state with eXactneSs, the father re-
ccived letter from the son he had mourned
as dead, and with whose spirit he had so
frequently held, rs he imagined, sweet con-
verse. The letter was received by the
father at the New Albany post office, and
announced that the son was alive and in
good health; that he was at present, and
had been for nearly eight years, 4 resident
OF Australia. The facts in relation to the
supposed death Of the son, and the COM
munications held by the father with his
supposed diSembodied spirit, are quite
familiar to the citizens Of New Albany, and
have frequently been the subject of COM
men'. particularly so On account of the
simple and serene faith of the father in the
supposed revelations made to him directly
from the son or through the mediums he
