Back Ia Life aud then TO Heaven.

The following touching incident is
related by the San Francisco News
Letter, and inasmuch as it is connect
ed with a performance of the gifted
Bergers, who reside SO near us. 1t may
have a local interest
An affecting incident occurred in the
academy Of music lately. Among the
audience was u wealthy family, one of
the members of which has for years
been in delicate health, born deaf aud
dumb. IL has been the custom of the
family TO take their afflicted daughter
with them, "a she seemed to enjoy the
excitement aud action, although she
could not hear sound. IL was OBJ
served that she seemed very much
amused at the comicalities of Mr. Sol.
Smith Russell, and enjoyed the chang
es in his facial expression rs much as
any of the audience. When SignoI
Togliapietra came to sing. it was no
ticed that. a curious light came into
her eyes, aud stretching out her arms
to her mother, she spelled on her flu
gers with the greatest excitement, the
words Mamma, / hear. The next
piece was an orchestral arrangement OF
''Trovatore." AS the composition pro-
ceeded, the tears fowned down the
poor child's cheeks, aud her excite
ment became so great that il was deem
ed prudent to leave the theatre. On
reaching home the exhaustion produc.
ed by the event of the evening was
such that the family physician was
summoned. As she lay on her couch
she reached forth her slate and wrote
"Mother / think Heaven must be mus
ic." The next day, in accordance with
her request, Mr. Russell vas sent fol
and lie kindly came and sang for tht
little sufferer. II was too late. DEATH
had marked the child for his own, and
she did not even smile. The little lips
are cold now, and there is vacant
chair IN the family circle.

@. As the University has attracted
TO its halls many who would not have
been drawn TO our denominational col
leges, IL has consequently done much
through its alumni in awakening gen.
eral interest in education. A large
proportion Of its 4,663 graduates are
settled in the State.
T. The University holds a relation
to the public schools, which the collie
ges, in the nature of things, cannot
hold, and so the University is able,
through the schools and by their aid,
to do work which the colleges could
not do.
8. The University has exerted a
special influence beyond the limits Of
OF this State, which could not have
been exertcd by the colleges. 1t is
well known that nearly every State
west OF us has established University.
Our Michigan University is generally
recognized as being one of the most
successful State Universities. Ii has
attracted, in a gratifying measure, the
attention OF both American and foreign
educators to Michigan. Such, be-
lieve, is fair and honest statement of
valuable results which the denomina-
tional colleges and the University have
wrought out here in Michigan. There
is enough for us all to do. colleges,
Normal school, agricultural college and
University,
We must guard against the fatal er-
ror Of supposing because Michigan has
been praised for her zeal in education
that she has not yet room for improve
ment in her schools, colleges and Uni
versity. Great room indeed there is,
we can afford to waste no strength in
unseemly and acrid criticisms OF each
other. We must have the most hearty
co-opperation. Let us have no fears
that too many OF our sons and daugh-
ters will be thoroughly educated. AS
well fear that our mines will be too
productive and our harvests too abun-
dant. We want everywhere men, high
minded. thoroughly trained men to de-
velop our resources, to preside over
our industries, to head our professions
to sit in our halls of legislation to rep
resent us in the national councils, men
therefore OF the amplest kindness. and
richest culture and highest and noblest
character, that schools, college or uni
versity can give us. Let us all do our
best in our halls Of instruction TO fol-
low the teachers, and we need have no
fear of our production Of this kind Of
men.
President Angell's paper was COM
mented upon briefly by President

whom said amen TO what had been said

THE RENNETT-uAY DUEL.
Another Accurate Account-The
Subscquent Proceedings.

New YORK, Jan. 30.-The Sun this
morning publishes what il believes to
be an accurate account of the late Ben
nett May duel. The only persons on
the ground aud witnessing the firing
were the principals and seconds, the
friends accompanying them keeping at
a distance and out of sight. Benefits
second measured off twelve PAGES.
The manner OF the principals toward
each other was courteous, but neither
uttered a word. Both used their own
pistols, Benefits being OF English
make and Mays in American. When
tue word was given May fired wide OF
Bennett: Bennett then fired over Mays
head, aud Mays second then asked,
care you satiefied?n 81 am entirely,
answered Bennett, in a clear, firm
voice. "Are you satisfied" asked
Benefits second ia his turn. 81 am,
am" replied May, quickly. The
principals advanced towards each other
and shook hands, bnt neither spoke.
They then repaired TO their respective
conveyances and were joined by the
others.
1t had been previously agreed that il
either was wounded or killed the mat
ter should be kept quiet until the 9TH
er could leave for Europe.
1t is still believed by many friends
that in good time there will be n recon
ciliation, and Bennett aud Miss May
will he married. Ii is also said tha'
Bennett will return from Europe in th'
spring.

Charged with Numbering h,. son.

The case of Henry Compton, charged
with the murder of his own son, in
Dover, last November, was on trial in
the Circuit Court at Adrian last week.
At the close of the evidence on Friday
Mr.. Compton was allowed to take the
stand and relate his story. Says the
Press
The old gentleman trembled in his
limbs and shook with emotion as he
took his way to the witness chair. His
statement was essentially as follows
On the day previous To the homicide,
James, the slain son, asked him to go
out into new field aud help him pick
up the sticks aud rubbish. The old
gentleman declined, saying that the
tumors on his arm were troubling him,
aud his physician had advised him not
to labor. Here he showed up his sleeve
and displayed his arm in proof OF his
truthfulness.) The son seemed dis.
pleased, and remarked, II do not ex-
pect you will do any work until that
barrel OF cider is gone" Next evening,
the son being out of humor, inquired
of him al the table il he was going to
vote for Cooper. (James was a green
back man. The old gentleman replied
that he would not. Some hard words
followed, and he arose from the table
and seated himself by the stove. The
son also arose soon after and drew q
chair. Observing this, and fearing
danger at the sons hands, Compton
noticing the gun in corner attempted
10 remove it to the woodshed to pre-
vent it from being used. The son met
the weapon with the chair. and on be-
ing interferred with by Mrs. Compton,
he next seized n stick Of wood and
struck the lock. At that instant the
charge was exploded and the tragedy
followed. The old gentleman bowed
himself in paroxysm OF grief ut this
point in his narrative, and wept bitter
ly, while his huge frame quivered with
deep emotion. He disclaimed any an
imosity toward the dead son, and said
it was his intention to have lived with
him the remainder of his days. The
sorrow-stricken parent finished his sad
statement by remarking, "If i had
served my God more, IL may be /
should be much better off than l am
now."
