An American Institution.

The wonders Of American marriage
would, if they could be truly describ-
ed. interest European people more
than the rude and boisterous life de-
scribed by Bret Harte. 1t would as
tonish a Frenchman, for example, to
know that American fathers rear their
daughters in luxury. smile on their
marriages with penniless clerks, and
make absolutely no provisions OF a
steadfast kind for the future Of these
daughters. The Frenchman might
ask in amazement, not why poor hus-
band is accepted, but how the daugh-
ter of luxury is to be provided for, land
on what resources her children are to
leana He would probably be told
that the fathers mission ended with
the daughter marriage he would see
a complacent smile on the father
face as his friends congratulated him

took him to the station house, where a
charge of assault with deadly weapon

the expulsion Of the former from the

German Universities.

From MaCmllianS Magazine.
aContrast with these limited viewsof
University life the larger conceptions
of German universities. In Germany
the bureaucracy, as well as all the
professions, must pass through
course of university training. Even
Roman Catholic priests must take their
general education within university.
The essential idea of German unlvers-
tiles is that they are not only teaching
institutions, but also repositories OF
human knowledge, from which the
life Of the nation should be fed ana
sustained. They contend that a uni
versity should give the fullest repre-
sentation Of existing learning IN It's
academic staff that it should widely
diffuse that learning through its
teachers and that it should Wlden
the boundaries of learning by the re.
searches of it's professors, fellows, ana
graduates. This high and full excep-
ton Of university life is not much
more than half century old in Ger
MANY. but has already produced
marvellous development of culture
among the people. Though no Ger
man university would be considered
complete unless it's professional fac
ulties were in as full activity as It's
philosophical faculties, still the sep
aration of university education from
the State license to practice dlmlnlsnes
the tendency to Brodstudlen, ana IN
duces students to master the sciences
as thoroughly as the technics OF their
professions. Study for knowledge and
not for examination distinguishes the
German from the English universities.
The highest culture which the nation
possesses is given through university
training. but the culture is true one,
for it is not merely disciplinary, but Is
a preparation of the mind for an IN
telligent and scientific pursuit or a
life's occupation. The German uni

U.iYES INTERVIEWED.

CINCINNATI Sept. 10.--A correspondent OF

while on the way to Fremont. asked him how
he came to construct his policy. which was
seemingly so at variance with his recent views

campaign and IL it grew upon him gradually.

Mr.. Hayes replied as follows:
