To What College Shall Mr.. Jones's Boy
Cor

friend in Pennsylvania asks us ques-
ton which interests many fathers of sons,
and is so important that it deserves a we'll
considered answer. This is it:

"PrSNWLvASIA RAILROAD, May % 1871
II Mr.. JONES insists that the college to
which alone he will send his son shall be in
place where there are no temptations TO
evil courses, he will be obliged TO keep his
boy at home, for there Is no such college
among the many the country contains. Per-
haps the surroundings OF Rutgers College
are peculiarly bad, and certainly the prev
alence OF gambling which he has discov-
cred in New Brunswick, is n dangerous
feature OF II university town. But II college
students are inclined to gamble they will
find plenty Opportunities TO crafty their
taste in that direction whether they live in
community where there are public gambling
places or not Yet ii is reasonable that a
father should hesitate 10 trust his immature
son to n college where the temptations to
gambling are patent to everybody.
But when parents send their boys away
from home to spend four years at Il college
they must expect that they will need TO
exercise constant self-control 10 keep from
falling into habits Of dissipation. What
ever their surroundings, whether they are
placed In a secluded village and preached to
by reverend professors Of almost ascetic
lives, or In n great university which of itself
is community of all sorts Of people good
and bad, and which is surrounded by the
temptations Of large town, the moral
quality of the youth Is sure to be put to n
severe test. That trial Is a part Of the col
lego education, and one of the most valuable
parts. The university Is microcosm in
which young men try their strength before
entering the greater world, and while tho
lrresolute may succumb to its temptations,
tho solid characters are fortified to resist
the evils to come.
That the greater part OF the college
youth bear the strain and are benefited by

No Room for Difference on One Point.

Whatever difference Of opinion may fairly
exist as to the wisdom OF the course taken
by the Democrats in lacking tho repeal Of
certain laws on to tho appropriation bills,
we think one thing is very plain, and this is
that such a course should never have been
entered upon unless it was to be adhered to.
1t was not justihablc, unless some great
principle was at stake; and If any great
principle was at stake, then to surrender
and succumb to the Executive after the first
faint show OF resistance, is cowardly in the
last degree.
II it be true, as the Democrats assert, that
the presence Of armed troops at the polls is
inconsistent with the freedom OF elections,
then they should never vote money with
out n condition that It shall not be- used to
pay armed troops for being at tho polls.
The Democrats should either not have
taken the stand they took, or they should
maintain it till the crack Of doom.

The success OF the Sucz Canal sooms to
have blinded the more enthusiastic advocates Of
the Darien Canal to the vastly greater dif1cul-
ties to be overcome before their project can DO

tho two cases. The topography OF the Egyptian
isthmus was slngularly favorable. or the long
ninety stretch between the two sens. nearly
ono-third was covered by n chain OF natural
lakes. which required only dredging to make
them navigable. The highest sand ridges bo-
tween Suez and Port Said were but eighty feet
above the sea level. There was no need OF locks
except tidal ones at tho two harbors where the
canal debouches into the sea. A rich country

We are sorry to learn from the debates in
the Reformed Presbyterian Synod that Reform
ed Presbytorians do not always pay their
preachers on tho nail. Forty congregations, it
appears, are delinquent in this important par
ticular and tho Rev. Mr., GREGG knows Of
preachers who have actually had to live on corn
dodgers in consequence. There is much worse
and moro innutritlous eating than n corn dod-
ger, properly compounded and baked; but it is
none the less hardship that preachers who DO
not relish 1t should be kept so poor by their
liocks rs not to be able to procure food more to
their taste.
We also observe with interest that the Re-
formed Presbyterians are much disquetcd over
the fact that the Constitution does not distinctly
recognize Christianity Of the Protestant pattern
as the true religion, and are anxious to have
this omission, as they consider It, remedicd by
II new constitutional amendment, This is

seems 10 suspect.

just as the question Of the best brake for
railways is now found TO lie beyond the mere
means Of applying It. so the best steering appa-
ratus may DO found to involve more than the
means OF turning tho rudder. 1t may be that
the whole power Of the engines of ship will
yet be brought to bear in bringing her round ;
indeed, this has already been done in the in
stance Of twin screws. and certain recent inven-
tions are said to apply this power at still greater
advantage. As regards the turning power Of
ships. therefore. the idea is now urged that
although there doubtless is n limit still. owing
mainly 10 Ignorance as TO what the turning
powers OF screw steamers really arc. and also to
the insufficient power now applied to turn the
rudders. the limit is far from having been
reached at any rate. II is TO be hoped that tho
risk attending the navigation OF screw steamers
nj present will-so far rs 1t depends on want Of
turning power-be considerably reduced.
