The venerable Professor Park made a
wholesome suggestion to the Corporation Of
Brown University last June. The Univer.
sity degrees of"A. NJ, D. d." and GIL.
d." have ceased TO be more than academic
compliments paid to Presidents, Governors
Senators, Congressman, College Professors
and metropolitan preachers. The new de
parture which Prof. Park advocates, will in
vess these empty titles with positive sig
nificance, by awarding degrees to those
who compete for them and really earn
them. Applicants for academic honor.
will, in accordance with this plan, offel
essays or works in special departments, and
the degrees will be conferred by competent
committees appointed by the College Cor
poration. The working plan of this system
has commended itself to the authorities a.
Brown, and it will be submitted to. th,
Corporations of other Colleges.

Enough in One Bed.

immigration to the State of MICHIGAN
was so great during the years 1866 that
every public house was filled every night
with travellers wanting lodging. Every
traveller there at that time will remonbcr
the difficulty Of obtaining bed in the
hotels, even if he had two or three strange
bed fellows.
The Rev. Hosea Brown, a Methodist
minister, stopped one night at one of the
hotels in Ann Arbor and inquired if he
could have a room and bed to himself.
The barkeepcr told him he could, unless
they should be SO full as to render it neccs,
sary to put another man in bed with him.
At an early hour the reverend gentleman
went to his room, locked the door and
soon retired to his bed and sunk into a
comfortable sleep.
Along toward midnight he was aroused
from his slumbers by loud knocking at
his door,
Halo! you, thcre!" he cried, "what
do you want there now?'-particular stress
on the last word
You must take another lodger, sir, with
you" said the voice Of the landlord.
What another yet p
Why, yes; there is only one in here is
there not? ?"
Gone! why here is Mr.. Brown, and a
Methodist minister, and myself already
and l should think that enough for one
bed, even in Michigan"
The landlord seemed to think 50, too
and left the trio to their rcpose.

letter which contains the following para.
graph:
In the summer of 1867 the writer was
called to st. Louis. During his stay he
visited Prof. Koch, an eminent geoloeist of
whom he had personal knowledge, residing
IN the city. In the course of conversation
Prof Koch pointed to a little low frame
house, from which the paint originally an.
piled had almost entirey disappeared, re-.
marking: Gen. Grant occupied that un.
pretending structure for two years previous
to his removal to Galena.' Lively interest
was at once excited, and, in compliance
with an expressed desire, Prof. Koch nc.
companied us to the humble dwelling, less
than half square distant A palmer,
cheaper, more unimposing abode we have
never seen. Its cost could hardly have ex.
ceeded $500, and yet, according to Prof.
Koch, Gen. and Mrs. Grant lived in it com.
fortably. Mrs, Grant, he said, notwithstand-
ing the straitened circumstances ofthefamily
constantly manifested cheerful disposi.
ton, never uttering complaints, and per.
forming her own house-work in addition to
the care of the little children, while her
husband was engaged in hauling wood
from his father-in.law's farm in st. Louis
county to the st. Louis market. Not sue.
ceeding in the business, he solicited and
OBTAINED the aid of number of friends for
the appointment of assistant engineer on a
line OF railroad about to be constructed
from st. Louis to the iron ore region of
Missouri. The effort failed, and then
under pressure of imperative necessity, he
accepted the tender by his father of the
charge of leather store at $50 per
month, in Galena, where he was found at
the opening of the great war"

The PAN-ANGLIcAN CoUNcu. REVIEWED
President McCosh, of Princeton College. in
a review of the Pan-Anglican Council, re.
Gently held in Edinburg, Scotland, declares
that it was in every way a success, and will
yield yet further fruit in the future. The
Scotch and American divines were mutually
delighted with each other. In travelling
through the Highlands DR.. McCosh found
that the influence of the Established
Church was dwindling away to nothing.
lie predicts that in few years it will be
disestablished, and that great stronghold
OF Presbyterianism, the free kirk, hold un.
disputed sway. Scotchmen are impatient
of anything like episcopacy, and have no
faith in the principal of State endowments
Alluding to the speeches that were made
at the Edinburg Synod DR.. Nc. Gosh takes
occasion to remark upon their extreme
orthodoxy. No concession, not the slight.
est, was made to the spirit of the age, but
the doctrines taught in what is, strangely
enough, known as the Shorter Catechism,
were unfinchingly maintained
