A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

Inc National University made is annual
appearance before the National Educational
Association on Wednesday, the subject being
presented In an eloquent address by Professor
White, OF Cornell University. The telegraph.
&c abstracts are exceedingly meager, but
indicate that 1t was largely directed against
the multiplication of colleges, and especially
OF colleges founded upon sectarian basis.
The true principle of thorough education
ne held to lie in concentration of resources
While the older countries had found tb,s
out and were practicing upon it, the United
States was still scattering it's strength.
AS result we had 264 colleges. most of
them with miserably inadequate and incom-
piete libraries, faculties, laboratories and
apparatus Good college professors were so
nampered and lhsrassed by the want of
means and apparatus, and by the sectarian
splrlt' as to become helpless as educators {.
MOST Oh the colleges of this country were
only little schools with pompous, high
souuulng names. a traveller in the West

Tue institutions for advanced learning. and

pursue their collegiate courses He further
crltlclsed the sectarian colleges as asylums
Ior unsatisfactory clergymen, selected on the
principle that dull preacher must necessa,
EtIy be profound scholar 5Irt. : ri
The address is further described as being
largely in the audacious vein the main
proposition laid down and defended at length
being, that provision for the higher education
OF The people must be made by the people
at large through their State and national
Legislatures by providing firstcass college
or colleges, fully equipped and free from
sectarianism.
The special project for establishing ma
tional university at Washington under the
auspices of the general Cover nment seems
hardly to have put in ali appearance this
year. The only allusion to it we have yet
seen was letter from President Eliot, of
Cambridge, pro testing against the current
Misrepresentation of his paper On that
subject and adding that she simply discussed
the eXpediency of establishing a central
university at Washington under his control
Of the Government, and supported by nation
altaXation, and mainta ined that it is not
expedient to establish such an institution ;.
No one was and opponent of his who did not
explicitly advocate the establishment ofsuch
a university. .. .,.E .eaa.

A JEWISH SHEKEL.-We were shown
yesterday by Mr.. A. Wronski, of this city,
curiosity in the shape of silver coin.
1t is what is known as a Jewish shekel,
issued about 5000 years ago, in the time
Of King Solomon, and is near the size Of
what was known here in the good old
ante 6eZJuma times as a silver half dollar,
though not so thick. On one side is pot
of incense, with the inscription in lie
brew, "Sbekel Of Israeli" and on the re-
verse the fac ainaiJe of "Aaron's Rod"
which +" brdded, blossomed, and bore fruit
i'll n day" and the words, aIso in Hebrew,
!" TIE Holy Jerusalem" Considering the
period, even far beyond the recollection
of our "oldest inhabitant," when this
coin, which is now as bright as if just is
sued from the mint, was passing through
the hands Of those who then peopled the
world, it is certainly o great curiosity

THE.OHlo RIVER DISASTER.

4 conflict and confusion of statements
have, up to- the present, characterized the
reports of the number of persons lost by
the steamer Pat Rogers calamity at Auro-
ra. At the present, to9day, Captain Dan
lei Morton, who is at the scene of the
wreck experimenting the recovery of
bodies, says that fofty-five have been re-
covered, on whom fifteen have not been
clearly identified; such have been accu-
rately described, buried, and the graves
marked for the benefit of friends seeking
them. Two others--Jack Light, the
steward, and Zimmerman, the pantryman
of the boat-have not yet been recovered.
This makes forty-seven known to be lost.
1t is barely possible that the list may run
three or four more, but not probable. The
safe of the steamer has been found, out
the passenger list evidently has been
burned. The difficulty heretofore in
making an exact list of the lost was ow-
ing to the fact that the les have been
picked up on both the Kentucky and In
diana shores, for fifteen miles along the
river. Many of them have not been iden-
titled, and many, therefore, have been
counted twice, causing the loss to be re-
ported as high as sixty persons,
