The Americ0n Educational MOnthly
tabulates the number of our universities
and colleges and their instructors and
pupils, from 1870 to 1873 inclusive.
From the table we learn that the drift is
still III the wrong direction-the multi
plication of weak institutions instead of
strengthening those already in existence.
Thus, during the years named, our So
called seats of learning have increased
fifty-seven, while the addition to the
number of students has been only $3.50
or 80 pupils for each new college or
university. No such number can sup
port faculty equal to thorough col
lege education.

Purchasing Horses.

In examining horse, be careful not
to let the dealer or one of his assistants
hold him, for many an unsoundness is
hidden by particular position the horse
may be placed in by the dealer, and the
fear of the dealers whip often makes Il
horse FESTIVE and appear to have more
life than he generally has, and it makes
1t hard to examine horse when he is
constantly moving. If the general APP
pearance of the horse please the eye of
the purchaser, he can then begin to ex-
anime him. First look at the teeth to
find out his age. The following rule is
generally correct, viz:
year-Incisors all visible.
years-NippeTs lost their marks.
years-Permanent nippers have come.
years-permanent dividers have come.
years-Tusks up in a horse a mare has
none
years-Mark gone from nippers, and nearly
from dvidels.
ycars-Mark gone from dividers: the cor
ners are level
s years-Teeth more oval.
years-Nppers rounder; diyiders oval.
After this it is difficult to Judge. Next
examine the eyes. If they shine and
look bright, and no spot or blueness is
visible, and the horse blinks when the
hand is raised near them, we may con-
clude that he is all right il that respect.
Next the wind. If on pinching the
windpipe the horse gives an asthmatical
cough, there is something wrong If he
seems to heave irregularly in the flank
his wind is bad, and if, when frightened
by the whip or anything, he grunts, he
is also unsound i'll that respect.-R. h.
Triton, IN country Gentleman.

The tornado that recently devastated a sec
ton of Georgia and South Carolina was one of
the most appalling visitations of the kind that
has ever been experienced in that region of
storms. There is great distress in the devasta-
ted district embracing eight counties in Geor-
gia and two or three in South Carolina. The
destruction of property is immense, and the list
of killed and wounded appalling. The path of
the tornado was from 200 to GOO yards wide. The
cyclone was cylindrical in shape, and rotated
with fearful velocity from north to south. The
front cioud was black IA night and half q mile
high; rear was Illuminated by bright light.
The tornado was preceded by dull, heavy
roaring, az Of heavy artillery in the distance.
1t spent it, greatest fury in about three min

The Tiitan-Beecher Trial.

re ! ittNn-o eeCf1SI ! rial.
FIFTY-FIRsT DAv--Nothing new or sensation
al was developed. An old nurse of the Titon
family testified * to Beeehcrs visits to the
house at the time the retraction is supposed to
have been obtained and rs to Theodores con-
duct at the time of his dismissal from the Brook
lyn Union and the independent. A clergyman
from bloomington Indiana, who heard nlton's
lecture on Marriage and Divorce, testified as
to some of the sentiments it contained but there
was nothing startling throughout the day.
FIFrV-sECoND DAY.-The testimony elected
was OF more importance than usual 1t was
proved that Woodhull's Steinway Hall speech
was mailed as GOLDEN Age pamphlet, and
Tilton paid the postage on it. The old
story Of Moulton's many prevaiications -
wherein ne said that - If Beechers's long Life
wouldn't retute Woodruff nothing would -
was dilated upon at length. Just pre-
vious to adjournment an amusing quarrel
took place among counsel over the possession
of the Plymouth Deacons' book of records.
Sherman did not want the names of the poor
Of the church" revealed to outsiders but
the other side were curious to see if Mrs.
Tilton's name was among the list of pensioners.
A number of pretty girls attended, who were
probably never in court of justice before, and
at times they seemed alarmed lest the wrang-
ling counsel should Noceed from hot words to
fsticuffs.
FIITY-THRD DAY.--Another bad day for Til
ton. 1t was Bessie Turner, the girl who occu-
pied the dual position of servant and companion
to Mrs. IT.. that made it bad for the plaintiff.
Her testimony alluded to lis domestic peculiar
ities and the manner in which he treated his
wife. II was a most extraordinary story, and.
if not impeached by the prosecution, leaves
Theodore Tilton little hope of escape from
eternal infamy.
FIFTY-FoURTH DAY.-The direct examination
of Bessie Turner by Judge Porter for the de-
Tense was concluded, and the witness was
passed into the hands of Judge Fullerton for
cross-oxamination. Her veracity suffered
somewhat by the keen questioning of the great
inquisitor, who involved her in several contra
dictions. She was made to acknowledge that
her version of the narrative had been arranged
by the aid of steuographer, Brother Shear
man, and Judge Porter.
