Fortunate Clarksrille.


Clarksville Tennessee, was the for
tunate contestant for the prize Of the
great Southern University Of the Pres
byterian Church. This institution
will have the patronage of the Synods
of Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi.
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. The
endowment fund is now large, and the
Presbyterian Church In the above
named States have the ability aad en-
lightened christian benevOIence, "a
contribute sum sufficient and ample
to make it first class University. DIR.
Palmer of New Orleans, man Of ma
tional reputation as scholar and Dr.
vine, has been rendered the Chaneel-
lorship, aud will no doubt accept the
position for which he is so eminently
qualified, and which would render ad-
ditioaal popularity to it. We eongrat-
ulate our Presbyterian friends in the
magnificent prospects before them Of
an Institution so important to them,
denominationally, in the great South
west.
We congratulate our friends of
Clarksville, ON their good fortune, as a
reward TO their liberality in their mu-
niicent donation to an object so wor-
thy. In our estimation, no place in
the State is more worthy of this boon
than Clarksville. She has the wealth,
the progressive energy, the intelligence
and the moral worth that render her
worthy of SO great boon. With all
her other advantages, Clarksville is a
very healthy locality, in the midst ola
choice agricultural section, easy Of ae-
cess, and her citizenship thoroughly
and aPpreciative. More
over, she has two of the best weekly
papers published in the West, that are
u power, as exponents of her refine
ment and civilization, and will keep
every good and noble enterprise nov
ing and living. What glorious pros
pect has Tennessee, to become ere
long the first State in the Union, in
great educational enterprises. The
graat Vanderbilt University at the
capital of the State, soon to take the
first place on this continent as the
leading University next to her in po-
sition and importance, with colleges
md high schools in every division of
he State, whose halls we may hope
shall be cowded with the youth of
1ur pround and glorious State, and
thousands from other States in the
yreat Southwest, upon whom the bies-
'ings of her higher standard of edu-
.etion will fall. In this connection it
must be apparent to all, that first
ate common school system embrae-
ng all the children of the State, COM
,ining the graded system of schools,
S the greatest need of to-day to the
,eople of this State. Only by prop
rly regulated system of public schools
he basis of all other educational en-
erprisss, can We hope to make the
olleges and Universities blessing 20
,ur own youth. OF what avail will
,e our numerous high schools, unless
he lower grades, which are nurseries
nd feeders of the others, be cherished
nd fostered upon wide and liberal
'asis2
By all means let our people demand
system of the very best public
ch00ls, to reach all classes, and thus
pen to all the doors of our colleges
nd Universities.
Legislators please take notice and

A WELL-PLAcED FAMILY.-There
is rumor that the Crown Prince of
Holland will marry the Princess Thyra,
a sister ofthe Princess Of Wales. This
will in the course of nature make the
princess Queen Of Holland. The King
of Denmark, her father, is one of the
poorest monarehs in Europe, and has
perhaps the smallest kingdom: He
has done remarkably well with his
large family. One daughter will prob
ably be Empress of Russia, the other
Queen of England. One son is King of
Greece, another will be King of Den-
mark, and now another crown comes in
to his family. To have children reign

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, May 4.-The
following is an abstract of the leading
information published by the National
Crop Reporter to-day; Returns are
now coming from correspondents in
the cotton States, the deductions from
which will be published next week.
They Indicate that, In all those States
except Texas, the area planted IN cot
ton this season is considerably less
than the area planted last season,
while the acreage of corn is about cor
respondingly increased.
There is very general complaint Of
the destruction of the first paintings,
both of cotton and corn, by the cool
weather and high water. Much of the
replanting has been accomplished, but
it is feared that, owing to the lateness
of the season, a considerable area will
have to lie over. As far as can be
Judged from the report received, the
stand May 10 was considerably below
full average, although the stand of
corn was much superior to that of
cotton
