Colonel James W. Massie, Professor of Math-
ematics ia the Virginia Military Institute, died
on last Tuesday morning at O'clock; aged
forty-ive years.
Colonel Massie has been suffering intensely
ever since 1862, from disease contracted at the
capture of Fort Donelson, where SO great was
his exposure and fatigue that he was prostra-
ted for weeks, and never entirely recovering. =
At that time he was Lieutenant Colonel in
command Of the Fifty-frst Virginia regiment.
Colonel Massie, as mathematician, ranked
deservedly high, and as teacher, he had few,

WHAT A UNIVERSITY VISITOR SAID.

Dr. III. H. JeWett, of Milwaukee, one Of the
Board Of Visitors appointed to the State Uni
versity writing to the Milwaukee Meas, after the
Castalian Society public exercises, said:
The department OF the young ladies was every
way becoming-lady like, selfpossessed, modest,
nothing awkward or bashful, nothing mannerish
or Susan Anthonyish ABOUT it. I learn from the
members Of the Faculty that the result of this rst
years experience of the co-education of sexes in
the same class room if favorable to the practice,
The young wsmen are ambitious to maintain an
equality with their masculine fellow students, and
these latter are ashamed to fall behind the former
The presence of the gentler and falrer also,
brings into college life purifying and refreshing
element before unknown. phe ladies exert 8
marked influence on tie manners, habits, dress
and conversation of the young men. The inter
conrse between the parties is regulated by the
usages Of good society, under the eye of the
officers Of the University and the particular super
vision of the Lady Principal. There have been no
firtations There is no affected shyness, but all
sensible, frank and natural The young ladies
respect themselves, and therefore they are respect
ed by their brother students.

OPPOSITION.

There seems to be a tendency among some
men Of to-day, to adopt Grip Van Wrinkle
ISM as precedent for the future social
condition of mankind They seem to detect
in every movement OF progress, a lurking
evil, and without attempting or stopping to
clear away the mist of a long befogged men
tai vision, pronounce every effort, no matter
how we'll directed or how productive Of good
results, as ''new tangled idea, which, not
long since, we were given to understand,
means failure.
Now we do not wish to be understood as
against opinion, or mind against mind, for
such we conceive to be an absolute cOndi-
ton of advancement but we-and we be-
Iieve every candid thinking person-Gre OPP
posed to that principle which impels men to
substitute mere empty expression and ridl-
iculc for examination and sound Judgment
Opposition untrammeled by selfshness, is an
acknowledged motor of development and if
carried on in spirit of justice, truth and
charity, will tend to make men better.
IF teachers endeavor to teach Pennaans7bi1,,
If any other branch according to well de-
vised methods, give them your support UNI
less you can show wherein the work is de-
fective ; if teachers organize and meet in
association, dc not accuse them of forming
leagues, cliques or factions for pecuniary or
selfish motives do not attempt to bar down,
and reduce system and order to chaos for
the mere sake Of viewing the "subllmity'' Of
a ruin and dissolution which will inevitably
nsnare you into its midst. b
In conclusion, we would say to those Ge1O
who are in the habit of pronouncing every
thing teachers and the friends of education
do, ''a new-faAgled idealism," to pause for
a moment and ask yourselves the question
are we right or wrong ? This question con.
scientiously answered, will set you right and
bring about more charitable disposition
towards the teacher and his work, and thus
set the drift of your influence in direction
to accomplish muchIgood.g VIII you please

New YORK, July IA special dispatch from
Geneva says that the mode of proceeding on Tho
direct claims has yet been ascertained, but it
seems probable that the Court will consider seriG-
tim the character of the Confederate cruisers, and
accordinglyas they determine their character will
adiudge England responsible or not for the depre-
datons of one or all these ships. The character
OF the ship being thus determined, the Arbitra-
tors win next consider the award Of damages. On
this pontth will probably confer freely with the
counsel of either side. Should the views of these
not too widely differ as to the amount of indemni
ty, the Court may name gross amount between
two estimates. IF there should be no hope OF re
conciling the conflicting estimates, the Court will
refer the award of damages to the assessors proyi
ded for by the Treaty, and so conclude their Ia
bors. Now that the Arbitration goes on at Gene
va, it will likewise continue on. the San Juan
question at Berlin where Prince Bismark will
appoint distinguished international lawyers to de-
eide the question.

Last week we gave q brief account of
the proceedings Of the Sixteenth Annual
Convention Of the Wisconsin Editorial
Association reserFiDg some general and
personal remarks for this week. The
convention was one of the most interest
ing which we have ever attended, or per,
haps that has ever been held in the state.
And it was SO for various reasons. The
addresses and poem were able productions
and those in attendance seemed to have a
due appreciation Of the purposes and OBJ
Jecfs for which they had met in conven.
ton. And the people of Madison, like
the people Of other places where conven
lions have been held, had made timely
arrangements to make the members Of the
convention and the ladies accompanying
them, their guests during their stay in
Madison. AS the members arrived they
were met by committees on the cars or at
the dspots and assigned places at public
or private houses and furnished tickets
for Conveyance by omnibus to their re
speetiTe places Of destination. And from
the time Of their arrival to their depar-
ture they were treated as the guests OF the
city, and every attention given to make
them welcome and to feel themselves at
home And there was more time given
to remain in Madison than there has been
usually given to remain in places where
conventions have1 heretofore been held,
and there was more time for making the
excursion to Lodi and Baraboo than has
been usual in making excursions. Here,
tofore there has been too much undertake
en- for the time allotted for its accomplish
ment. On the present occasion there was
Just enough to do and just time enough to
do it.
