70 tne speakers, in fact never within the
secoiecncn oiye old inhabitants has their

poys. Neison Lee opened with telling
speecn, 30 entirely different In its sentiment
from the style OF tour late cru der" that
our people take 10 him kindly, believing
tnAt MS utterances come from a warm and
open hearted man. VIM. Quinn followed
eAnvIeing tne young and rising generation
W .n'oM ON the letters OF intemperance,
Bro. Wlliin in few words told the tale
OF runs degrading effects. Henry w, Nor.
row, being introduced, gave a graphic de-.
scription Of the mental herrors nrodnced
oy intemperance, and as he warmed to the
subject the crowd ceemed to be affected and
gradually drew higher TO the speaker lesl
word should fall 10 reach them.
Bro. Willisms added his mite in a few
choice remarks, when Rev. q. r. Bristor
was invited to give helping hand.
Tais being the first occasion our citizens
nave had TO hear this gentlemen on this
question, great attention was given, and
aoly did he meet the issue without malice
or harsh words to the seller of drinks, 40 en-
tirely at variance with his predecessor thai
as he finished hearty amen responded
from every one.
Mr. Lee now appealed to all TO COME
forward and sign. In an iucr.dible short
time he reported 50-then 70, and on statine
that 81 had signed the first night; fresi
lot went up until 95 was reach d, making ,
total OF 176 in two nights. The subject il

ORIGIN OF WoRDs.-The title of (Sub-
lime) Porte, which may often be seen
applied to the court of the Turkish en-
pire. The principle gate at the entrance
of the Seraglio at Constantinople, is a
noble structure Of marble, built by Ma
homet IL, as recorded theron by an in
scription In gold and azure. This gate is
called by way of eminence, the Porte,
from the Latin portd, gate; and from
this, one OF the most prominent objects
about the royal residence of the Grand
Turk, doas his court derive its common
name, Formerly the gate In question
was guarded by fifty mutes VINO con-
versed in signs, and the inmates of the
dwellings within, were as fettered cap
tives. But. in this respect at least, our
age has seen great and good reforma-
ton. The chains of prejudice have been
thrown off, and the women of Turkey
are in progress Of being restored to the
freedom which has been SO long with
held from them. The prince it is said,
has set the example by opening the
Porte, and permitting those within to
enjoy, at tb~ will, the blessed air of
heaven. o.+l. l-.l

DE. Granf.

The university of Oxford is about to
confer upon General Grant the degree
of Doctor of Laws. 1t will not hurt
Grant half so much as it will the univer-
sity of Oxford; for it certainly tends to
bring academic degrees into contempt
and ridicule to see them conferred In
this absurd way. There is probably no
subject upon which Grant, all uncultured
as he is, is SO profoundly ignorant of, as
law. While he was President he sent a
message to Congress In reference to the
salary of the President "as fixed by the
constitution" blunder solludicrous that
il set the country into multitudinous
laughter. After seven years service as
President he did not know enough about
our constitution to know that his own
salary is not one of its provisions. Not
only is he ignorant of law, but he des-
pises it, and has always beaten it down
with the brutal insolence of the soldier.
He(even packed the. Supreme Court to
reverse the legaltender decision; he up
held by force the lawless act of Durell,
knowing it to be lawless, and he trampled
down law and Legislature with his troops
in Louisiana. He pardened every whis-
key thief that the law convicted, and
kept around his person branded breakers
of the laws of common honesty as we'll as
of his country's statutes. This is the per-
son who is to be made Doctor of Laws.
What education opportunity did he ever
improve? He passed at the foot of his
class at West Point; he was put out of
the army for drunkenness; he became a
tanner. Out of that calling he came
when the war broke out, and he rose by
the force of soldierly ability, courage and
good luck to be the leader of the armies.
Butihe knows Io moreabout law nowthan
he didwhen he was soaking hide in tan
yard. The honors paid to him as a SOL
der are all we'll enough; but the attempt
to make him Doctor of Laws only
cheapens the academic honors of Oxford
and leaves Grant in his original dense
and hopeless ignorance.
