 CAMBRIDGE.-I called on Mr. Asaph Hall Jr., who is student ln Harvard University. There are more than 1000 students, besides about 400 in other departments in Boston. The grounds are very extensive, and the Col lege buildings large and numerous. The Li- brary is very large, and arranged systematic ally. A new, large building is going up to furnish additional rooms for the students. The new Gymnasium will cost $100, 900. The largest building is Memorial Hall, and was built by the graduates of the College after tho close of the war. On both sides and one end nf the large room are marble slabs on which are inscribed the names of those who belonged, to the University or had graduated, and fel in the Southern war, with their age and where they died. There are two other great rooms, one occupied commencement days, and the other the great dining hall where 800 young men eat at once, and it is great sight from the gallery to look down on the long tables. This building cost nearly half million of dollars. As you enter the buildings occupied by the students, this notice meets your eyes. ''Beggars, tramps, peddlers and book agents not allowed in this building: they will be 1 handed over to the Police." The astronomi- cal Observatory is a large building with high tower which revolves, So as to use the tele- scopes. The students are not allowed to visit | it except few at time during their last years, and it was very doubtful whether I could go in, but MT, Hall said he would try. Prof. Rogers was very accommodating and showed us the great -Transit instrument, and every thing else. The great Telescope with a fifteen inch glass is twenty three feet long, and he has two flights of stairs to go up to look in- to the instrument. He has another way ot bringing his seat just high enough, so he asked me to sit with him, and he turned something which took us up. asked MT. Hall if his father had done any thing yet at the moons oi Mars, as this season was going to be favora. ble time to observe them. His reply was that he had letter last night from his mother who stated that Prof. Hall has again found them both. Prof. Rogers said tive thought we had found them, but we had not. H. N.
