President Bascom of the University
lFrnm the State Journal. J

John Bascom, Just elected Presi-
dent of the University of Wisconsin,
has long been Professor Of Rhetoric
and English Literature at Williams
College. He is a ripe scholar and a
profound thinker He ranks high as
an author and lecturer, and possesses |
that faculty most important in 4 |
teacher, the power 10 clearly i'm
part instruction TO students, and in. |
spire them with an eager longing for |
knowledge. The Regents were for
tunate in securing his services. He
is most cordially commended by
President Chabbourne, who takes a
deep interest in the success of our
University, and holds President Bias
com in high esteem
We take the following from
the columns of the Milwaukee NeGS,
which is evidently from the pen Of
one personally acquainted with
the new Presidents:
"Prof. John Bascom has been for
many years professor in Williams
College, and has, alike with Mark
Hopkins and Paul AnseI Caad
bourne. maintained the high repul.
tati0n which that institution posses,
ses among the Universities Of the
East.
John Bascom Gas he prefers sim
ply to be caIled) stands to-day in
in the foremost ranks of eastern
scholars. HIS own researches and
ideas, as we'll as HE clear, concise,
simply reasoning, established his po,
sition among New Elglaud's think
ers. Scarcely branch but that has
felt the influence of his clear, compre-
hersive mind. His athletics is the
cassbook in many colleges, and TO
him is due, perhaps The honor OF
having first reduced the fragments OF
this science to systematic harmony
and order, clearly defining the laws
of the true, the beautf and the
good. His works on ethics and po.
lltical economy, as well aa his many
contributions to periodicals, form
valuable additions to the literature
of these subjects FIR the last few
years, he has been regularly chosen
in the list Of the Lowell lectures at
Boston.
But it is in the the classroom,
where those who have been SO fortu-
aate az to have sat under his in
struction. that he has won his great
est honor. His straight firm figure
as leaning over the desk, he wonId
bring up, from where we had n3I
to look, thought, and hold it before
US in the clear light of day; hi:
original manner Of bringing out oul
own thoughts, that we ourselves
might inspect them, as we'll as III,
amount of work that we performec
while under him, and the large
amount that still cIings in our mem
! ory, brings him back 60 us as one 0
the best instructors we ever had.
His departure from Williams Col
, lege will bring regret to every sor
of that venerable alma Mater.
Bringing the experience of year
; ia College work, and a mind enrich
ed with extensive travel and re
search, the advent of John Bascon
to our State University will be th'
precursor of renewed vigor and pros
perity,notonly to the University but
to the cause OF education throughout
the State" H. f. W.
President Bascom will receive ,
hearty Western welcome and foo

THEIR REooRD.-An analysis of
the vote for the repeal of the Salary
grab shows that the Democracy
have as little to boast of in this con-
nection as they had in connection
with It's passage. Only eight votes
we're cast against the repeal; of
these three were Republicans and
five Democratic or Independent.
Twelve Senators were absent or not
voting and of these three were Re-
publicans; the other nine Democrats
ar Reformers. OF those voting to
repeal, nearly four>6fths were Re-
Dublicans.

s@- The Green Bay (Wls.) Gazette
notices a remarkable case OF opthal-
mic surgery recently performed by
DR. G. E. Houghman, of the Milwau-
kee Ear and Eye infrmary, on a citi-
zen of Green Bay, Mr.. c f Games,
now in bis 10th year. Mr.. Eames
has been blind for five years with
cataract Of both eyes. One Of his
eyes had been previously operated on,
and the cataract successfully remov-
ed, but inflammation subsequently set
in, producing such intense pain that
the eye had to be removed. The
other eye was operated on by DR..
HoughmaD, the cataract removed,
and the sight restored, but, on the
tenth day after the operation, infam.
nation set in with such Intolerable
pain that Mr.. Eames begged the Doe
tor to remove the eye. The Doctor
first punctured the eye with need
e, but without effect. He then tried
an experiment of his own-that of
ancing the eye ball. About half a
teaspoonful of coagulated blood fol.
lowed the withdrawal of the lance.
The relief Of the patient was instan-
taneous, and Mr.. Eames is now at
home ia perfect health, with eye
sight completely restored after five
years of blindness. The Gazette
speaks of this operation on the eye
ball for the removal Of matter caus-
ing inflammation as original with DR..

lB- General Joseph Hough for many years
an active citizen and politician of Bucks coun-
ty, died on Sunday week at the residence of
his son, Bryan Hougb, ut Frenchtown, New
Jersey lie was about n years old. General
Hough was born on farm near Castle Valley,
in Doylestown township, and was raised in
this vicinity, becoming familiar with the men
who were in active life here during the first
third of this century. He married daugh-
ter of Joseph Cowell, of Point Pleasant, and
moved to that neighborhood. After the Del
aware Canal was lailt, and while it remained
the property of the State, Mr.. Hough occu-
pied an official position in its management
In early life he was an Anti-Mason and Wing,
but thirty years ago or more became Demo-
GRAFT, and was afterwards leading spirit in
the affairs of his party within the county
He was for a long time an unfailing attendant
at county meetings, and his influence was
sought by candidates who wanted to succeed.
But it appears that he was never himself
elected to public office, and we do not know
that he ever asked for one. In later life, when
he resided in Philadelphia, IL is said that he
became a Republican. General Hough was a
man of pleasant address and popular manners
and was much respected by his acquaintances
His military title was an honorary one, prob
ably derived from his connection with some of
the militia organizations that existed twenty
or thirty years -Inteihgenccr.
