says that because the older colleges Of
New England refuse to admit young
women, large numbers who can not at
ford to wait on the pleasure of these
learned corporations are studying in
Vassar, Smith, Wellesley and the supe-
rior academies of New England; but
not until these older colleges have fairly
made the offer of equal education, and
it has been deliberately rejected by young
women, can it be said that the question
is more than opened.
There is only one country in the
world in which there are no illiterate
people; it is the Sandwich Islands. The
population of the islands is 5000.
They have IL high educational institu-
tons, 1863 middle public schools, and 43
private schools. The public instruction
is under the supervision of committee
appointed by the King, and composed
Of five members, who serve without re-
Enumeration; the committee appoint q
general inspector and number of sub
inspectors. The Government takes care
that every person shall be able at least
to read and write, and pursues energet-
ically all parents who neglect to send
their children to school.
The st. Louis Baptist Association,
by vote of p to II, has expelled the
Second Church and its pastor, Rev. DR..
Boyd, for heresy. The Second Church
is the strongest Of the denomination in
st. Louis. Last winter it lost its church
by fire, and by invitation occupied the
Jewish synagogue. DR.. Boyd on one
occasion, while celebrating the LOrd's
Supper in the synagogue, invited Rev.
DR.. Elliott, Unitarian minister, to sit
with close-cOmmuniOn congregation.
This was one act of heresy, as charged.
Another was committed when Mr..
Boyd's congregation had q union service
with the Jews, and sang a hymn, as al
legged, with references to Christ careful
ly expurgated. The other specifications
were similar to these.
Foreign Notes.
The Empress Eugene is going to
Scotland on the invitation of Queen Vic
tOria.
The German Emperor treats his
troops in the most paternal fashion.
Good morning, my children" he says,
with kindly smile, as he rides past the
brigades drawn up to receive him, and
all the regiments answer, Justify, 'GOOd
morning, your Majesty"
"A new temperance movement has
been organized in Great Britain. 1t
takes the form of joint stock company,
with a capital of 81, OOO, 900, in shares Of
$5 each. 1t proposes to open temper
ance houses all over the kingdom. The
Archbishop of Canterbury heads the list
in the prospectus of the enterprise.
When the Emperors met at Alexan-
drowO, not only were the railway build
ings and approaches guarded by gems
darmes, Cossacks and police, but ex-
press trains were not permitted to pass
through the stations, and the passengers
had to remain all day in the village.
Along the line from Ottlotschin, the
frontier place, to AlexandrOwO and on
to Warsaw, mounted COssacks were sta
toned at every few steps.
The two young sons of the Prince
of Wales are both very fond of sea-serv-
ice; the younger one is to follow it as a
profession. They are bright, manly
boys, with look of their gentle mother
about the upper part of their faces.
They have just started off on a ship of
war for long cruise. They fare exactly
like their mess-mates except in one par
ticular-their sleeping accommodation
is somewhat better.
Prince Bismarck only allows trees
enough to be felled at Varzin to let light
into his woods. His letters to his sister
show how dearly he loves farming and
hunting, the forest and the quiet life Of
a cOuntryman. Luther Buchar is the
only official person who accompanies
him; he goes through all the important
papers which come from Berlin, and
prepares them for the signature of the
Chancellor. Buchar, who refused to
pay taxes in l848, and was therefore long
an exile on British soil, is exactly suited
to Bismarck and Varzin. He lived for
many years in POmerania, and was re-
turned by that place to the Berlin Ma
tional Assembly.
Persons who claim to be well in.
formed say that the ex-Empress Eu-
genie is one of the richest widows in
Europe. Besides her Hungarian estate,
she has castle in Spain and q fine place
in Switzerland. OF hard cash
she is estimated to have $780,
900. Recently she sold large
block of house property in the Rue
d'Alba, in Paris; and M. ROuher's
house, a well known political center, al
the corner of the Rue de l'Elysee, was
hers in her own right, and was sold last
year for $780, 900. The death of her son
adds to her estate, since he left her o
considerable amount of landed property
in Italy, and the Toulouse property Civ
en- him by General who had been his
equerry when he was . child. 1t is be-
lieved that she will give most of her es
tate to the Church.
