The war broke out Immediately, and as
he could not be safe in France, Hyacinthe
went to England, where he was able to do
something for his suffering fellow conn
trymen, and had time to study and observe.
It is from London that, on the 25th of
Decembe last, he issued his manifesto t.
the world, in the shape of an appeal to
the bishops. 1t is a great step forward
in the path he has entered. In that ele-
CANT document be deals heavy blows at
Papal Infallibility and points to the
bishops five wounds with which the
chu ch ia pierced. 1st, The obscuring
and hiding of God's word %, The
oppression OF the people by the priests
30, the celebacy OF the clergy 4th, The
s,irion which has taken the place of spir-
itual worship. These points were ably
developed, and the appeal caused great
stir in Rome. Hyacinthe, moreover, de-
clared that unless these wounds were
healed he would not resume his posifion
in the Romish clergy, and, should the
bishops turn deaf ear to his appeal, he
would bring to the preparation of the
Kingdom of God upon earth that free and
personal action which was the duty OF
every Christian.

his ground and persev~re in the course he
has taken.
He takes the positi IL that he is true
and old Catholic, while the Council has
erred and introduced dogma entirely

Gospel. He is excommunicsted by Rome,

Our first course of lectures given by
Dr.. Lord of Boston have closed. The
subjects treated have all been historical
and abouuded in useful information. The
The unknown Alumnus who thus kind
ly furnishes US with these free lectures
has our heartfelt thanks.
The College has at last commenced
operations for having gas in the building.
J. J. Tiffany & Co, of Boston, are ca
gagged in arranging the fixtures. The es-
timated expense will be $4,000. Gas
will be made twice week sufficient to
supply 400 burners. Many of the citizens
of the place will avail themselves of this
privilege of having their houses well illu-
minated.
The Medical College is soon to be fitted
up in a more becoming manner. $4,000
has been appropriated for this purpose.
Those familiar with the lecture room and
ball well know that for many years the
i'm tterior of this building has needed re-.
pairing. They now propose to put new
inside into the old structure. Quite a
number of the senior class who propose
practicing physic ter livelihood when
their course here is completed, are now
engaged in experimental chemistry, car
rying on their operations in the new
laboratory in Culver Hall, under the
di, ection of Prot. Diamond aud his assist
ants.
Cane rushes were the order of the day
a few weeks ago. The freshmen mani
tested good pluck, and now carry their
canes without molestation. Five soPho-
rnores weuded their way hOmeward, az

may again appear in the course of two

these r1lsl,es. In All these STRUGGLES the
frssh1nen have been sustained in their
actions both by the President and Faculty
who considered that the rights of fresb-
men are denied. The class of '72 voted
that freshmen have the right of carrying
canes, and that they should not be molest-
ed by their class. We have had no rushes
for the past two years, and now, while we
rather delight in the excitement of these
not bloodless scenes, we consider their re-
turn a precursor of much trouble.

The Grand Duke.
HIs COMING VISIT TO NEW YORK-A
PROTEST AGAINST sNOBBEBY AND
FLUNKEYISM.

The Liberal Christian gives the follow
ing wholesome advice TO those of our Cit
iz-us who may he brought in contact
with the Russian Grand Duke during his
stay in New York:
The elaborate preparation in progress
for the entertainment of the Grand Duke
Alexis, show that the young man will not
enjoy much peace or real liberty in our
glorious Republic, wbateAer other good
things he may find prepared for him.
Fortunately both for him and for ns, the
the arrangements are not in the hands of
our city fathers, and will therefore b.
more likely 20 escape the vulearity and
bad taste for which their entertainments
are noted. But we fear the honors of the
occasion will be very foolishly overdone,
and that all shoddydom will be most M
necessarily and dangerously excited by
the visit of the scion of royalty. Intel
ligent foreigners, who at home hear only
of our passion for liberty and hatred OF
all that has to do with empire, are very
much puzzled and surprised when they
come to this country, at the popular pas
zion for royal psgeants of all sort. Tbey
see our young women rave at the idea OF
the approach of prince. and older heads
with a reputation for balance on most
other subjects, quite turned by the visit
of some unfortunately royal young mar
on " hom the destinies of an empire are
good naturedly said to depend. We sup
pose good deal of this may be justly SET
down to a natural and unwholesome crsV-
ing FIR the ideal and picturesque, for
which our sombre, workaday republican
institutions afford 70 little opportunity
but tn" popular worship of station, posi-
tion. wealth, power, without regard to
mor~l or intellectual quality of the com
pauy is which they are found, must be
ad II itted A. The principal factor in this
ridiculnu. American fawning and toady-
ism. We hope New York will set the
other cities of the country an example OF
moderation and gsod taste in the offer
ings of her hospitalities to the Grand
Duke, that, at the close of his visit, be
may, if be choose, find some reason for re-
specting, as well as liking the great
American public.

The total cost of the repairs and improve

and Post Office was within fraction of
$4,000. The income to the Post Office
Department from boxes under the old ar
rangement was 1875 per annum, but our
citizens are already showing their appre-

Department by engaging the patent lock
boxes at the advanced rates of rental,

The Sailor.

The sailor looking out to sea,
Through the bleak darkness of the night,
Amid the throbbing of the waves
Still hears her voice so soft and light;
And fancy brings the sound to him
OF church bells ringing through the spray
And 10 the sparkle of salt waves
He sees green fields, and smells the hay.
Oh! well for him he has this thought,
This moments thought, forgetting care,
That, as the ship flies on apace,
He sees blue eyes and sunny hair
Tomorrow DER the CLASSY sea,
Beneath the glowing tropics sun,
Shall float loose timbers, shattered spars,
And all his dreaming shall be done.

Your columns have been much crowded Of late

have few thoughts sugge ted by the above, of
which u would like to re ieve ourse' YES, viz /:
Are there not too many men entering the medical
rrof- ssion who are totally unfit to perfo m the
work dsvolving upon them? Men with educa-
ton, no mental discipline; with low, gr"v-ling
ideas of their calling. Is not the medical protes-
sion the most respe table OF all the Professions
1t certainly deals with human Ii ie and life is
dear to all. We think there -hould be 'Ine fixed
standard of scholarship to which men sh ul at
tan before ent-rrg upon the study of medicine
How many unettered physicians we have-men
who learn most entirely from observation, who
scarcely ever consult Their boOks, whose medical
journals can be md upon their dusty sheve..
uncut and unread, who practice ths old regime of
20 years ago. And quacke what of that ! The

heralded by many papers-mauy of them having

sale of books of some defunct phy-ician, or noIe
at all. Men whose "f -otsteps take hold on hell"
What hindrance such men are To a true physi-
clan. They are living insult to the profession.
But we refrain from saying more upon this sub
ieet. There is one more thought which has oc-
