BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
To-day the Board of Trustees will hold their
annual meeting, at which important n.easures
for tho future improvement of the buildings,
apparatus and library will be discussed.
In MEMoRIAM.
The annual session OF the Alumni AssOcia-
ton this afternoon will be of unusual interest.
on account OF the completion of a noble monu-
ment to the memory of the twenty sons OF
Colby University who found their death in the
defence of the country. The design is modi-
fled copy of the masterpiece of the great
Danish sculptor Thorwaldsen. The original
commentaries the heroic fidelity OF the Swiss
Guards, whose defence of the mobbed King of
France, August 10. 1892, will ever bs remem-
bered with admiration. Every traveller speaks
of the Lion of LucerIe, carved in the broad
sandstone cliff just outside the city, as one of
the most touching tributes to soldierly devo.
ton known to art. It's very simplicity height
ems the effect produced by beholding it. None
can fail to experience that sympathetic appre-
ciaticn of heroic self-sacrifce which is the best
tribute to the memory of the soldier.
The figure is that of q majestic lion in the
agonies of dissolution. He has fallen PROSTATE,
his name still bristling from the fight, and
drops OF blood are oozing from the wound in
his side where the shaft of the deadly spear
still adheres. A wonderful agony is pictured
on the marble cOuntenance indeed one can
easily fancy the howl of mortal anguish issuing
from its massive Jaws. But the shield of the
Republic is secure beneath the ponderous head
dropping upon it, and is firmly held even in
death by the protruded claws fixed in it.
The sculpture is the work of Milmore of Bos-
ton. The material is Italian marble and weighs
about three tons, being eight feet in length.
It is placed in recess prepared in the wall
about seven feet above the floor. Below it a
marble slab, seven feet in width, contains the
names OF the deceased soldiers, and over them
this inscription is placed:

A Curious Aspect.

Our Courthouse Square presented won
derful view yesterday-fOr Courthouse
Square. We took a sort of obique squint
across that tract Of country yesterday
morning, and saw more things in five min
utes' so Iare look, than we ever cav before.
A yelling crowd of men and boys on one
side were enjoying ferocious battle be-
tween O lot of rats and terriers, which
lasted some time, and the rats came out
second best. There was an army Of
wagons, loaded with hay, wood, hoop
poles, clap-boards, fence posts, fodder,
corn. barrels, and great many other arti-
cles of produce. There were prize candy
sellers, wbi1ly gigs, hurdy- gurdies, horses,
cattle, pigs, mules, sheep, etc. Auction
GERS, selling everything frem blind mule
down to pinchback watch, including old
buggies, carts, wagons, anything and
everything under the sun, and among the
thousand or more men on the Square,
every one was trying which could make
the most roise and the worst noise Il was
a stirring scene, and no mistake; at times
our teeth ratified with the jar, our eyes
fairly danced at the exciting scene, and
the roof of our head nearly flew off by the
poise. We advise the removal Of the
Courthouse, as the Square Is too small 70

besides it looks bad to see the Courthouse,

East River BrIdged with Ice-An
Exciting Break-YOuDg America
i'm Danger.
East River is completely bridged over
this afternoon. The cause OF this IN
usual occurrence was an immense cake
of ice which floated down with the tide,
and became blocked up between the clty
and the Long Island shore. Thousands
of adventurous people seized the oppor-
tuuity to cross over to Brooklyn. Sud
denly an ominous rumbling was nesrd,
and a huge mass of ice became detached
began slowly moving out to sea, while
large assures were observed shorewards.
A general stampede occurred, and
about twenty boys, who failed to reach
the shore, saw themselves drifting out to
sea. They Immediately became fearfully
alarmed and shouted loudly for help.
The cries attracted attention, boats put
out to rescue the boys, and they were all
safely taken off. Three canal boats and
the tug boat Ontario were sunk by the
ice cutting them through.
Nine hundred and forty emigrants ar
rived at this point during the week end
ing to, day.

HAYTI.
wants TO be Annexed.

HAVANA, Feb. 1l.-Herald special
Late sdvices from Hsyti say another at
tempt at revolution has been made at
Port au- Prince. On the I'd inst. an at
tack was made on the arsenal, but the
rebels were defeated and a number ar
rested. A feeling of disgust prevails
among the respectable portion of the in
habitants at the unsettled state of the
country. They declare the frequent revo-
lutiops since the independence of Hayti
have operated to the detriment of prop
erty of the classes of wealth, and they
seriously contemplate annexation to the
United States, and only wait until the
cession of San Domingo is effected. This
feeling is rapidly spreading. The Presi-
dent, however, is popular.

day.
In the House of Commons, all CORE
spondence relating to the Franco Prus-
STA war was presented, and notice given
cf many questions to be put to the gov
eminent touching the foreign policy.
Mr. Gladstone made an explanation of
the reason why France was not repre-
scented in the London conference. PIus-
sian authorities had given Favre q pass
for himself TO attend the conference. He
should be sent as representative of France
but the Prussian flag having been viola
ted, when application was renewed by
Favre to the military authorities, the
bombardment begun and Favre refused

ment.

lations of the country, and demanded a
ministerial statement relative to the con-
dilion of affairs in regard TO Russia,
Prussia and France.
The Alabama Commission.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Times today
views with mixed feelings the appoint
ment of a commission. The settlement
of one tangible grievance, it says, is de-
sirable, but unhaPpily treaty has al
ready been rejected by the American
Senate, indicating but slight desire on
the part of Americans to remove the
grounds of difference. When the prin,
chile of the Alabama claims is deter,
mined, the individual claims may be ad,
iusied The tore of American discus
sion must change in all respects if good
| feeling is to be restored.

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT THE
CAPITOL.
All About Coupons.

On Friday last report was quite extern
sively circulated in the city that Attorney
General Heiskeu had given it as his Opin-
ion that coupons on State bonds were re-
ceiysble at the TTeasurer's Office IN pay
meut of taxs4. The report, as we under
stand, spread rapidly, and quite a large
number of persons sold their Tennessee
money at "a cents, and bought coupons at
81 cents. This had the effect to some ex-
tent Of depTeciating Tennessee money IN
the market
DR.. Morrow had been absent from the
city, but returned in time to correct the
impression that prevailed.
We may state that the whole excitement
grew ont of the fact that Attorney General
Heiskell had stated that perhaps the time
would come when the law, which is some
what ambiguous, would be thus construed.
But The Treasurer soon corrected the i'm
preston, and stated that coupons were not
received in payment of State taxes.

CANADA
And the Alabama Commission.

TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 11.-Canada pa
pers representing various political parties,
express great satisfaction at the appoint
ment of a commission to settle the differ
ences between England and America.
They consider that the appointment of
two Canadian statesmen on the commits
sion secures a just representation of Ca
madam rights. They express hope that
the results of the deliberations may be a
fair settlement of old differences, and
each country may go on its own way try
ing to do what is fair and right to its
neighbor. They say we don't wish to be
annexed to our friends across the line.
Let both countries understand that, and
if we can't become one nation let US con-
tinue good nelghbors and good customers
of one another as in the past.
