The University of Virginia by its an
nual catalogue appears to have 347 stu
dents, about half from that State, Texas
being the next largest contributor with
20 students. According to the principle
laid down by Mr. Jefferson, its founder,
the University of Virginia has always
pursued the elective system; that is, the
several branches of learning are taught
IN Independent schools in the university
Each OF the leading PROFESSIONAL chairs
constitutes a school, so that there is the
school of Latin, the school of Greek, the
school OF political economy, etc. A stu
| dent Joins as many of these schools as he
pleases, but in each must pursue a pre-
scribed course. Of the above number of
students, lis are pursuing Latin, 81
Greek, 1O4 modern languages, 113 math-
ematics, 90 law, % political economy,
10 history, literature and rhetoric, from
AZ to AZ medical sciences. There are IS
professors and instructors, of whom Prof.
Schele de We're is perhaps the best known.
There has recently been little discus
sion in the New York Nation as to the
number of men sent to college in the
Southern States as compared with the
Northern. 1t is certain that the South
ern collegiate institutions are not Ian
gushing for students. However much
the common school may have been neg
lected at the South, the collegiate educa.
ton has never been. This is strongly
illustrated by the fact that in the last
Congress the chief Southern States had
a much larger proportion of college grad
nfac h,n,, h. n N
States also, thanks to the small colleges
which have brought college opportuni.
ty home to the people at large, send more
college men into public life
than some of the Eastern States. Nor
can it be said that Harvard would have
done better by these graduates than did
their own dLm3 mGtres, for Harvard actu-
ally had fewer alumni in the Forty fourth
Congress than in the Congress which
framed the Declaration of Independ-
ence. Massachusetts in 1916 sent
four Harvard men to the Continent
al Congress; in 1876 she had three Har-
ward men in Congress, and they were the
only representatives of that institution
there.
But as to the relative number of col
lege graduates sent by representative
Southern and Northern States, we pre-
sent the following tables, deeming only
those college-educated who are said in
the Congressional dictionary to have been
" graduated" by certain colleges, and
not including those who are indefinitely
said to have been educated at" an in
stitution. The first column represents
the whole representation of the State in
Congress, the second the number of col
lege graduates which it sends:

II.
A year or two after the opening of our
story Mrs Mervin, worn with constant
confinement, accepted the invitation of
an old schoolmate, and, taking Minnie,
went to Vermont, to pass the warm days
of the summer. The other children re-
manned at home with tried house
keeper, who would De sure to look after
them carefully. Frank had his club and
would occasionally come to Vermont and
pass the Sabbath during Mrs. Mervin's
stay. He had known Mr.. Banks, the
husband of his wife's friend, in former
days, and had professional interchange
of courtesy and business with him, as
they were both lawyers, but hitherto
there had been no visiting between the
families
On her arrival at her friends house
Mrs. Mervin was most cordially received,
and made to feel quite at home. The
years that had separated them since they
had left school dwindled into nothing,
and they soon were interchanging thought
and feeling as in long years before, when
they walked arm in arm about the play
ground of the old academy, or rambled
in the park adjoining it, Both had chill
dren whom they loved and were proud
Of; both had intelligent and intellectual
husbands; both had beautiful homes.
But Mrs. Mervin was not slow to per-
ceive, as they sat together sewing in the
cool mornings, that her friend was far
above her in sweep of thought and grasp
of intellect. She was mortified that of
many subjects that came up naturally in
the course of conversation she was quite
ignorant, and though she could talk flu
emily in regard to carpets, embroidery
and dress-the latest discoveries of
science, the latest achievements of art,
the last new book she knew nothing
about, and was dumb when they were
mentioned How did Mrs. Banks man.
age to keep up with the age, and she so
far behind it? Their children were near
ly the same in number, their household
cares not widely different, their husbands
in the same profession. Here was
mystery, and she watched for its solu-
ton.
She noticed that at night the young
children were put to bed early, before
Mr. Banks came home, so the house was
quiet She noticed, too, that the sew
ing-machine, the work basket, even the
knitting work, was invisible at nightfall,
and however awry or difficult the house
hold arrangements had been during the
day nothing but serenity and cheerful
ness shone in the evening parlors. While
those of the children who were permitted
to appear at the table amused themselves
in the dining-room or read in the parlor,
Mr.. and Mrs. Banks gave themselves
wholly to themselves and their guest.
The news of the day was discussed, the
last new book reviewed, or some impor-
tant discovery rehearsed, while at inter.
walls the conversation dropped into that
pleasant small talk which MAKES up so
much of social interchange. Occasion
ally they passed the evening at concert
! or a prayer-meeting, but MIR. Banks was

italisIs. We do not deny that there
should be better adjustment OF profits
between employers and employees. Some
real progress was made in this direction
by the various iron mills OF oilhiacitX.And
Pittsburgh when a few years Ggo the
sliding scale system Of wages was adopted,
by which scale it was provided that when
the price Of bar iron and nails was so
and 10, the wages Of certain employees
should 60 up or down accordingly. This
plan has prevented many strikes and has
thus saved untold amounts to both capital
and labor. The principle Of such an
adjustment is the true one, because it
rests on a sound basis, and is one that
like all sound principles is SO simple and
applicable that it will always take care
of iself. There are other adjustments,
no doubt, that are possible in cases where
the one we have named can not be ap.
piled, and under the heat Of the present
discussion, growing out OF the recent
great strike on the railroads, they will
come 10 the front and sooner or later
be matters Of experiment.

HOSTILE INDIANS.
JOScph'S Band Promise TO Re-
turn and Show Fight.


SAN Francisco, August A Press
dispatch from Lewiston, August l, says:
Yesterday, Indian Joe and his family,
who have been with the people at Slate
Creek all through the Indian troubles,
and proved true and faithful TO the
whites, returned from Kamiah, where
they had been sent to ascertain the move
ment Of the hostiles. His squaw says the
Indians at Kamiah told her they were
going across the mountains, by the LoIo
trail with their stock and families, and
when they got them in secure place they
would return and fight the soldiers. She
also states that before leaving Kamiah
they went to friendly Indian camp and
drove of all the young squawg, beat them
with clubs, and forced them along like 80
many cattle; also, came back and robbed
them Of everything they could find, and
all their horses Of any value. She fur.
ther stated that the hostiles are to be re-
inforCed by other Indians from the other
side Of the mountains, when they will re-
turn. Her statements are considered re-
liable by those who have known her.
This morning, Lieutenant Wilmot,
with thirty men, started to 60 across
Salmon river, to ascertain il any hostiles
remained there, it having been reported
for several days that a few bad been
seen in that direction, and his object is to
hunt them out and destroy all their sup.
plies. August 2-It is now believed BY
an old acquaintance Of Joseph that he will
put away in safety his stores and extra
horses and return to Camas Prarie, re.
turning by Elk City on the Pietta trails,
which are much more easily travelled
than Lolo. This trip can, with a forced
march, be made in about seven days. He
has asserted his determination to burn
the grain on Camas Prarie, and then ar.
range his plans 10 go to Wilowa, and the

THE LABOR QUESTION IN THE CABINET.
A good portion Of the Presidents mes.
sage, upon the reassembling Of Congress,
will be devoted to the consideration oil
the labor question. 1t is known that at
the numerous Cabinet meetings, held
within the last two weeks, this subject
has in several instances been discussed
to the exclusion OF all other matters.
Several members Of the Cabinet are
known to favor the passage OF law pro-
viding for the organization OF commits.
sion, which shall have due regard for
the interest Of all concerned, producers,
merchants, employees and capitalists, SO
that on any question fair compromise
may be effected. A member OF the Cabi.
net, in conversation, spoke OF this plan
and argued that Congress has the right
to pass such law under the clause Of
the Constitution authorizing that body
to regulate. commerce with foreign ma.
tiOns and among the several States and
with the Indians. Such a commission
might be vested with power to examine
into the desirability OF chartering new
railroads and might require certain con.
ditions to be fulfilled, 40 as to establish
a reasonable certainty that the projected
road would be remuneratiye and that the
company would have means to pay for it,

failures.
