A Suggestive "Reminiscences.
he Editor OF the y. Y. Times:

TO the Editor OF the ". Y. Times:
Your editorial this morning, "The
Presidents First Year" suggests the pos
sible aspect Of the picture, or panorama,
as seen by the majority of Southern Re
publicars, and brings vividly before the
recollection of the writer a scene he wit
messed on the day OF Inauguration, one
year ago. 1t was in a large, old church
on st. Helena Island, off the South Car.
olina coast Probably 400 persons. Of all
ages and both sexes, were assembled
there only five or six of whom were Of
the white race. At the close of the exer-
cises Of the occasion, as newspapers are
scarce there and no telegraph nearer than
Beaufort, announcement was made that
the National Republican candidates had
been declared elected, and Hayes was
then being inaugurated There was not
a Democrat within those walls, but there
were some who had been driven from the
upper counties for Republcanism. The
manifestations Of satisfaction will never
be forgotten by the writer of this article.
Smiles, laughter, hand-shakings, hug
gings. and tears Of joy, while not few,
with clasped hands and upturned faces,
offered fervent thanks to heaven. Poor,
simple souls, they thought, (as we did
bh0u1J 40 bh0 htEiONS ~ OAihEOt
surrounded by the Rife Clubs, thought
when the United States troops came
"that means our protection"
Some of these Southern Republicans
had shed their own blood, dragged the
mutilated bodies of their murdered
friends from muddy bitches, and had suf
iered capture, threats, and blows while
endeavoring to coffin those loved ones
and been robbed, and mercilessly whip
ped for supporting this new President
They had thought such sufferings and
peaceable fidelity to law q recommenda-
ton to the support of the General Gov
ernment, and did not suspect that an
Administration for which they had en-
dured such hardships could give the
State into the hands of the minority Of
voters having only majority of murder
Gus weapons. They were under the de
lusion that 1.-The United States would
guarantee to every State a republican
form OF government" and that that
meant government by majority of votes,
not pistols and "sixteen-shooters What
wonder if henceforth they believe the
oftrepeated assertions of the Ellenton
murderers: you will find out that the
Republicans of the North are not your
friends !" Perhaps it is well that the
lamb should lick the hand just raised to
shed its blood" but all the worse for the
hand, even though the lamb become a
peace offering. H. N. K Corr.

From the n. Y. Times.l
College Follies.

President Eliot, in an article 10 the
current number of the North American
Review, wherein English and American
universities are compared. thus speaks Of
the habits of Oxford and Cambridge
"Hazing, rushing, secret societies,
secret institutions and badges, and
other barbarities and puerilities which
still linger in most American colleges are
unknown at Oxford and Cambridge; and
the relations between students and
teachers. undergraduates, graduates, and
dons are unreserved and thoroughly
friendly" The obnoxious practices OF
American student life are we'll classified
under the two heads Of "barbarities and
puerilties." They consist of inhospita-
bic and savage customs, practical jokes
whicn pass the limits of decency, and in
volve real cruelty, however steeled the
victims may sometimes be TO the endur-
ance of it, and boyish institutions and
performances which ought to be left be-
hind at the age which students in our
higher literary establishments have gem
orally attained. Hazing, in one form or
another. has long existed in colleges, and
ia slowly passing away with the advent
OF better manners and q more humane
standard of civilization. In the seven
ties, this evil reached n monstrous ex.
treme, so that the civil authority
was compelled to interfere to check it.
One OF the first things to which the "fox"
Ga freshman) was obliged to submit was
the surrender Of all his money, and the
indignities inflicted upon him sometimes
included the extraction of sound tooth
by the toughest methods at that time in
vogue.
Until a recent day, college pranks oi
all sorts have been indirectly encouraged
by the habits Of graduates. and even Pro
fessors, 10 recount, on commemorative
occasions and in private, their own di
verting achievements in this line, during
their undergraduate life, performances
which, il initiated by their younger
brethren, they would not be slow tc
irown upon and punish. Young men
have left their homes with the idea that
unless their college career should be sig
nalized by robbing hen-roosts, breaking
tutors windows. introducing cows into
lecture-rooms, burning out-houses, OF
other similar noble and dignifed ex
ploits. the period OF their education
would be tame and destitute of all TO
nance. BY degrees these foolish notions
are passing away. Athletic sports, such
as rowing, running, and ball playing
afford a vent for the surplus energy
which formerly expended itself in more
or less elaborate enterprises Of mischief
Unhappily the barbarous custom of pes
tering and seriously maltreating new
corners, is one that dies hard. II all ed
ucated and thoughtful persons woulC
seize every fit occason to denounce thi
mean and cowardly practice, which j
on the wane in almost all OF our respecta
ble institutions, its total extinction
would not be far distant.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1878-03-21

The Students in many Of the colleges
Of this country are disgracing themselves
as well as the name of the institutions
they are attending by the practice OF
hazing and other deviltries that are not
in taste with good breeding. While the
Christian world is called upon occasion
ally 10 pray for the success Of the cole
ges, the latter are beset by rowdy student
mobs which show that prayers 90 very
little way in making men out of persons
who would prefer to be classed as mere
roughs and brutes. II the professors and
those Immediately concerned in the edu-
cation of the young men under their
charge, can make no impression upon
them, that will aid them to grow up to
respect the rights Of others and have 9TH
ers respect them. the colleges had better
be disbanded We prefer an education
in a rude log cabin, under the care Of a
master who knows how to compel order,
in preference to sending to a college,
where a young man learns as much that
will prove OF disadvantage to him as that
which will aid him in fighting life's bat
ties on the highest principles Of honor.
There is something rotten in many OF our
colleges and prayer won't cure the evil.
There is something else needed Ma

What a Plant Did.

A little plant was given to a sick girl
In trying to take care Of it, the family
made changes in their way Of living
First, they cleaned the window, that
more light might come in to its leaves
then, when not too cold, they would open
the window, so that the fresh air might
help the plant to grow. Next, the clean
window made the rest Of the room look
so untidy that they used to wash the
floor and walls. and arrange the furni
ture more neatly. This led the father ol
the family to mend a broken chair OF
two, which kept him home several even
ings ter the work was done. he stay
ed home, instead Of spending his leisure
at tavern, and the money thus saved
went to buy comforts for them all. And
then. as the home grew attractive, the
whole family loved it and each other
better than ever before. and grew health
Ter aud happier with his flowers.

When the late war began, young man
the only son of a widow, who bad been
fascinated by Mr.. Beecher's preaching,
was moved by his patriotic exhortations
and influence to enlist, and was presently
killed in battle. His body was brought
home and Mr.. Beecher, going TO the
house, led the mother to the coffin, and
said to her that there lay her son before
her dead; that the young man, the hope
Of her life and the stay Of her age, bad
been murdered. cruelty murdered, and
that he, Beecher, was the assassin. And
thereupon he burst into so passionate a
paroxism of self accusation and reproach
that the mother became his comforter
instead Of receiving consolation from
him. Such an incident, entirely conso
nant with what is known of Mr.. Beecher,
would find a natural place in the pious
chronicles-I Harper's Weekly.
