The Columbian University Law School.

The advertisement of this school may be
found in another part of our paper, from which
it appears that its exercises and duties will be
resumed on the 11th instant, under the con-
duct of the same able and experienced faculty
who have already won for it a national repu-
tation. The long roll of its graduates, the
brilliancy Of its annual commandments and
the esprit de corps which exists among its
alumni are naturally matters of just pride to
the friends and patrons of the institution, but
we believe that they especially exult in the
tboroughness of the training which the school
is designed to secure for students of law. 1t
is to this end that all its courses and methods
of instruction are made directly tributary, and
the experience Of former years has enabled its
learned and skillful professors to combine the
greatest practicable dispatch along with the
thoroughness upon which they insist at every
stage of their discipline. The classes for the
coming year, we understand, promise to be
unusually large,

adequate expenses.
Mr. Roessle eaid that 1t was calculated that
there would be about two hundred visitors,

excursion, with a collation., and the securing
of a hall, wolld be all that would be expected
from the citizens. He did not know much

Foreign Mission Sociable.

DIR. and Mrs. Newman, assisted by the
ladies connected with the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society of the Metropolitan NJ. E.
church, gave an entertainment and sociable
Tuesday evening last, which proved decided
success. The entertainment opened with recita-
tions and singing, which were exceedingly
well rendered. The tableaux, under the i'm
mediate supervision of Mrs. j. G. Hester,
were extremely beautiful and reflected great
credit on this lady's artistic taste in the ar
rangement and grouping of the characters to
be presented. "Rebecca at the Well" being a
Biblical scene. brought forth continued ap-
plause from the audience. "Mercy's Dream"
was sublime, and when the curtain was
lowered on this scene the third time, the de-
lighted audience seemed to regret that they
could not gaze on the beautiful picture yet
little longer. The statuary representing
Faith, Hope and Charity was the last scene,
but not least, many expressing a desire to
have it repeated at some future day. Before
the entertainment closed DR.. Newman made
a few very interesting remarks, which pleased
all, after which refreshments were served

Caution IN the Puhlic

The merit and success of Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters are already clearly estab-
lished. This indisputable fact has brought
out number of imitators, who seek to be
benefited by imposing upon the public ar
ticles under the name of Capsicin and Capsi-
cum Plasters, as being articles similar to Ben
sons. Be not deceived. Their composition is
entirely different, and in no respect the same.
The words Capcine will hereafter be cut in
every plaster to insure the consumer against
counterfeits or limitations. Benson's Capcine
Porous Plasters are now conceded to be the
most effective remedy ever offered to the pub
lie. They give instant relief and cure quicker
than any known plaster, linimeut or compo-
sition. They cure where other porous plasters
simply relieve. They contain neither metallic
or mineral poisons. They are indorsed by
oyer two thousand druggists of excellent repu-
tatior. Price 25 cents. Can be obtained of
any druggist. sEABURT & JOHNSON,

Opening of the Law Department Of George
town Unlversity.

The exercises of this law school were re-
sumed last evening. The opening lecture was
delivered by NJ. F. Morris, ESQ.,, on the history
of law, being the first of course Oh that sub
ject he proposes to deliver during the term.
His lecture embraced rapid sketch Of the
origin and progress of the several systems of
jurisprudence, dwelling particularly on the
two great branches, viz: The common law of
England and the civil law which had its origin
in republican Rome; incidentally mentioning
the great law givers Of the world and the
result of their Iabors. He dwelJ at some
length on what is known as municipal law,
referring particularly to Blackstone's defni
tion of it, and what in the lecturers opinion
constituted the objections that might be urged
against it. He also referred briefly to the
subject of constitutional law, which is of
modern growth, comparatively speaking, and
defined the difference between what is known
as the British constitution ard ours. The
lecture was listened to with rapt attention,
and was frequently applaUded. After the
lecture the announcements for the term were
made by the dean of the faculty, Mr.. Hoff-
man, who also stated that the first lecture to
the junior class would be delivered by Prof
Rely on Thursday evening.

is being made by those intending household
renovations in not calling at Markriter's popu-

fore his second invoice of the latest novelties

are just received, and embrace the most beau
tiful and artistic patterns ever brought to
Washington. Markriter employs only the
most skilled workmen, and principally those
whose work has given his establishment such
a worthy reputation. Work to be done in
season should be ordered at once. Markriter
deals for cash, and allows no one to offer

The temperance lecture and select readings
by Mr.. D. W. Bruce, at McKendree church, on
Tuesday evening, was very pleasant affair,
and those who attended seemed to enjoy the
entertainment throughout the entire pro-
gramme. The lecture was well delivered, and
the flowery eloquence di played in "Happi-

convulsive laughter throughout the audience,
which was counter balanced, however, by the

RELIGIOUS WORK

arose in regard to letter from the board of
domestic missions, stating substantially that
colored churches must have colored pastors
and white churches white pastors.
Judge Drake thought the letter impertinent,
ard that If the board meant to say that it
was degradation for a white minister to take
charge of q colored church the members of
the beard ought to be dismissed from office by
the assembly.
Prof. Wescoet, DR.. Noblc aud others agreed
with the Chief Justice.
Rev. DR.. Wills defended the action Of the
board, and thought that the doctriue advanced
by the bosrd Of missiczs was right; that there
were many reasons why coiorsd preachers
ought to be the pastors of coloTed churches;
that they could enter more fully into the SYM
pathies of their own race, and could thus do
more good among them, and moreover, in the
providence of God, many colored men were
now being educated to instruct their own
people and to 60 as missionaries into Africa to
evasgelize that dark continent. The races
will accomplish the greatest results by acting
in their separate spheres; by not commingling
