THE new Bowdoin catalogue makes quite
clear the important change that has been
made in the internal economy of the college
The scientific course is intended to relieve the
classical course of the more popular studies
that of late have been encroaching upon the
curriculum Of all colleges, thus preserving in
the old department 'sthe traditions of the
elders as to the importance of the ancient
languages, while those who are devoted to the
more modern pursuit of science and natural
history will have ample facilities offered them
The comparatively easy conditions of admis-
sion to the scientific course must result in a
large increase in the number of students.
There are now ten scientific students in the
Sophomore and eighteen in the Freshman
class. The number of Freshmen in both
courses is fifty-nine-a larger number, we be-
Heve, than have entered a single class since
the war. The Board of Instruction is now
composed of twenty-four persons, including
the lecturers in the medical and other depart
ments, and the professorships of Mental and
Moral Philosophy and Military Science are
now vacant. Among the lecturers are Wal
ter Wells, on Physical Geography and Meteor
ology, and William W. Thomas, Jr, on Scan
dinavian Languages and Instructor in Swed-
ish.

The Georgia Constitutionalist, Democrat, dis
approves of the action of the Legislature OF that
State in undertaking to replace Acting Cover

being to all intents the legal executive OF the
State for the remainder of the term Tor whlch
Bullock was elected. 1t says:
The nossibiIity has already been suggested
that the Executive may refuse to carry out the
act and if an election took place in defiance OF
him. three might be two political organizations
in the State claiming recognition from the Fed

Here is beginning which even Vanderbilt
or Tom Scott need not disdain! The compa-
ny that starts in life in State no larger than
Maine with 1856 miles of road, worth ten mill
ions, need not despair of being able to make
this State another New Jersey or Pennsylva-
mia. At any rate the combination is so for
midable that there is great necessity of placing
it under such wise and judicious restrictions
as the people still have in their power to inn
pose. Railroad monopoly is the great evil
that menaces us, and it must be resisted in
season, taking care that no injustice be done
to individuals or associations of individuals
upon whom rest such heavy and perplexing
responsibilities belong to those who own
and control our great railroad routes.

looking the new arrival straight in the face, not
cracking smile, and drawing from his pocket
a tapeline with which he was about to verify
his estimated measurement. s'What do YOU
mean, sir"' eagerly inquired the stranger
why, it's all right said Joe, putting the tape
line back in his pocket; ''you measure five feet
nine by two feet eleven by eighteen. III be
ready for you by 8 o'clock in the morning."
What have you to do with my measurement,
sir? What are you driving at sir?' inquired
the countryman, excitedly and angrily. 'Why,
you see" said Joe, I'm the city undertaken,
and the yellow fever is killing the strangers off
so rapidly that have to get their measures as
they come into the city. If 1 didn't, you see,
sir, that the dead bodies would accumulate on
my hands" AT this an unusual pallor came

The N. Y. Commercial says scene as dis
graceful to the present state of the law as it is
shocking to humanity, occurred in the Supreme
Court, Brooklyn a few days ago. A husband
sued for divorce on the ground of the adultery of
his wife, The case was referred, and the referee
in default of the appearance of the wife, re-
ported in favor of the husbands application.
The Court confirmed the report, and the child,
the only issue of the marriage, a boy over
seven years of age, was brought before Judge
Gilbert on writ of habeds corpus. His mother,
in whose care he had been ever since the separa-
ton of his parents (Which took place when he
was but eighteen months old5 accompanied
him. The Judge told the child he must 90
with his father. Thereupon the poor little fel-
low set up the most piteous cries and chung to
his mothers side, declaring he would never
leave her. One of the officers sought to seize
him, but he ran from him about the court room.

the mother meanwhile imploring the Judge to
spare her and her son the horror of such sep
aration. Nothing however, availed, and the
wretched little victim was finally captured and
borne from the presence of the sympathizinc
spectators, uttering the most piercing shrieks'
while the agonized mother fell fainting to the
floor.
