There are plenty of others who figured

On Tuesday night the ceremony of dedi-
eating the new Cabinet Building at the Uni
versity will take place. This building is
named from the venerable founder of the
museum to be placed in it, Prof. VIM. NJ.
Stewart. The exercises will include eulo-
CYSTIC memoir of that gentleman and dedi-
catory address by DIR. Palmer, of New
Orleans, who is now with us on his return
from the meeting of the Presbyterian As
sembIy at Louisville. Respect for the mem
DRY of our illustrious fellow-citizen, Prof.
Stewart, would alone suffice to interest our
citizens in these ceremonies, but when it is
added that a noble building will be dedi-
Gated to the united culture of religion and
science, that President Shearer will deliver
memoir OF Prof. Stewart, which he has
long been preparing, and that DR.. Palmer
will give to the occasion the browning grace
of his matchless eloquence, nothing is left
for us to say except that, spacious as it is, the
great hall of the college will, we fear, be
found too small for the vast crowd which
will attend.

A CHANGE OF COMMAND.

Sir Garnet WOlsley, the best Off
Ger in the British army, has been
despatched to South Africa to take
the control of both civil and mill
tary affairs in the colonies there.
This step supersedes both Sir Bartle
Frere as Civil Governor and Lord
Chelmsford as Commander-in-Chief
of the forces there, both which gen
tlemen have egregriously Numbered
throughout the late difficulties,
one in bringing on the war, the
other i'm conducting it disastrously.
Sir Garnet has shown himself an
administrative officer of consum-
mate ability as well as splendid
commander in the field. Indeed no
man can be a successful General in
modern warfare without combining
these two qualities in an equal de-
gree. 1t is hoped that military and
civil affairs in South Africa will by
this change be placed on a more
satisfactory basis.

The gastronomie powers of the editorial
fraternity have been severely tested in these
early summer days by the caterers of luxu-
ries for the palate. We recorded last week
the hospitality 81 Mr.. Lyon in inviting .e
press gang 10 samptuous treat al his ice
cream saloon, and we have now to reeofd
similar acts OF courtesy on the parts of
Messrs. g. 4. Roth and f. B. Ely.
9. A. ROTH.
This gentleman has recently established a
splendid restaurant on the French method
in one Of the new houses on the north side
of FranElir street, and in his genial way in
vited the members of the press last Tuesday
TO test the merits of his cuisine. A Ianch at
one p. N. was what the invitation specified /;
what we found was a sumptuous dinner
served up with cOnsummate culinary art.
The principal dishes We're beefsteak stewed
with mushrooms, roast spring lamb, spring
chickens fried and fricaseed, all the most
delicate vegetables of this bounteous season,
green peas, caulifiowers, asparagus and new
potatoes, the whole crowned and finished off
with Strawberries and cream. This was the
material, but "asateriem sHloerabat opus.'
Where Mr.. r. managed TO pick up so con-
summate an artist as the chef who presides
in his kitchen we cannot divine, but Del
iitohiSO HouAu nave Dcch piOuu VI the NSAA~
cate combinations which tempted the grate-
fuI appetites of the editorial corps. In the
way of fluid auxiliaries he sOrely tested our
allegiance TO the faith and discipline OF
Murphy by pressing upon ms "appetizers, y
''post cafes" and other pleasant sins, but our
faith stood all trials, and we must refer to
| our neighbors Ofthe Tobacco Leaf for testi-
mony TO the merits OF this portion of the
| entertainment.

at any depository of the United
States in sums of not less than
twenty dollars.
Sec. 6 we give rerbatim as being
the most important:
Sec 6-That section 1856 of the Revised
Statutes Of the United States be amended so
as to read as follows: ssSection 1855. The
gold coins ~ the United states and standard
silver dollars shall be legal tenders ON all
payments at their nominal value, when not
below the standard weight of tolerance pro-
vided by law for a single piece, and when
reduced in weight below such standard and
tolerance shall be legal tender in valuation
in proportion to their actual weight. The
Secretary of the Treasury is directed and re-
uuired to cause to be paid out, without dis
elimination, standard silver coin belonging
10 the Government which may at any time
be i'm the Treasury, the same as gold coin, in
liquidation of all kinds of money obliga-
tions against the Government
Sec. Subsidiary silver coins a
legal tender in sums not exceeding
twenty dollars.
Sec. 8-Silver certificates for de-
posits of silver bullion to be receiv-
able at par for payment of all dues
to the United States, including i'm
port duties, the certificates being
given at the actual market value of
silver at the time of deposit.
Sec. orders the coinage of all
silver bullion deposited up to the
full capacity of the mint, priority OF
deposit having the preference.
Sec. 1O-No coinage of silver au-
thorized by this bill except into
standard dollars.
Sec. ii repeats all conflicting acts.
Mr.. Warner has evidently given
good deal of attention to the sub
iect of currency and coinage, but
has not at present much parlia'
mentary experience, and he was
severely tested in carrying this
measure through the House, which
as we said, has received important
notifications in that body. What
will be its fate in the Senate we are
unable to say. 1t is satisfactory tt
observe that party lines have mo-
been rigidly observed either in vot
ing for or against the bill.
