TEXAS students ut colleges and
universities outside of the State
have acquitted themselves with
great honor this year, AT the
Washington and loo, the Virginia,
and tho Kentucky Universities,
whore II largo number of our Texas
youths arc being trained for careers
of usefulness and distinction, they
have won many honors. Neither
have our young ladies' been behind /;
and At Stanton, Virginia, and the
Canadian schools, where some of
them are being educated, they have
been very successful. The daughter
of Captain Murphy. of this city,
carried off the medal of merit for all
Canada, given this year by the
Captain General of the Dominion.
In our home institutions we also
have right to be proud of our Dal-
las boys. In the official report of
the faculty of the Georgetown Uni
versity, we are pleased to notice
that Master Leslie Clark, son of our
worthy ielow.citizen, Captain W.
j, Clark, carried off the highest hon
ors of his class in Latin, Greek and
Political Economy.
BY the way, it is greatly to be re.
GREETED that it is necessary, or
thought by some to be so, to send
our children abroad to be educated.
This great State ought to have u
University of her own equal
to any in the land. AS it
is it must DO confessed that
strictly speaking, We have no Uni
versity in this State, the institutions
assuming that name although very
good schools, no doubt, and in some
instances conducted by men of
learning and skill, it is absurd
to call them, or claim for them the
character of Universities. Such
pretensions are calculated to dotract
from their real merits. The presi.
dents and professors OF these insti-
buttons, many of whom are alumni
of colleges and of real universities,
ought to be honest enough
not TO assume a character for
their institutions which they
do not possess. Still they are do
ing good work and ought to be
encouraged. But it ought not to be
our young men, who have the ambi.
ton to be thoroughly educated,
should be compelled to 80 be-
yond our own State. But it will
continue to be so until our Legisla.
lure endows q great institution Of
our own.

aud Vessel u Total Wreck.
DETROIT, August 2s.-The four.masted
propeller Persian was destroyed by fire
off Long Point, Lake Erie, Thursday
night. Tho Empire State arrived here
last night with the officers and crew OF
the Persian, from whom the following
particulars were learned:
About $50 o'clock Thursday night,
when about seven miles east Of Long
Point, Lake Erie, the first engineer, Thos,
Davis, Of the Persian, discovered fire in
the coal bunkers, and promptly gave the
alarm to stop his engine, and opened the
safety valve, Such rapid progress did
the flames make that the wood work
around the engine was almost instantly
ignited. Captain Flint, of the Persian,
ordered the boats manned, but before one
Of them could be launched, they were
hopelessly burned. Attention was then
directed to tho matches, and all were
thrown overheard, and the officers and
crew placed themselves upon them, each
hatch being capable Of sustaining two
persons. Fortunately the lake was very
smooth, or all must have lost their lives,
After floating about two hours the
schooner Montana hove to and picked up
the entire party, considerably chilled.
The tug j. G. Merrick soon came along
side, and the survivors were transferred
to her, and at midnight the Merrick
placed them on board the Tgppeller En-
pire State.
The crew Of the Persian consisted of the
following; Captain, :. l.. Flint; First
Mate, Thomas Casey; Second Mate, La
fAyette Slough; First Engineer, Thomas
Davis, Of Cleveland; Second Engineer,
James Love. lnadditiOn to these officers,
there was crew Of twelve persons. The
only passenger was Mrs. Davis, wife OF
the first engineer, who was sleeping
above the place where the fire started,
and did not awaken until rescued by her
husband, her bed being already on fire.
The Empire State reached the burning
steamer about 1880 o'clock and made
determined effort to save the Persian,
pouring three streams Of water on for
over tN0 hours, but without avail. An
attempt was then made to beach her near
Long Point, and she was towed about two
miles shOreward, but becoming too hot n
companion, and Cndangering the safety Of
the Empire State, sho was scuttled for.
ward by the first mate, Thomas Casey, and
left to her fate.
Her cargo consisted Of fifty thousand
live hundred bushels Of corn, and seven
teen thousand bushels Of wheat. The
grain was insured, but the hull, which is
undoubtedly u total loss, was uninsured.
The Persian cost one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars, was launched last
August, and until the advent Of the Com
modore was the largest propeller on the
lakes, having registered tonnage Of l.
$50 tons. She was owned by X. Il. Win
