COLUMBUS, MISSISSIPPI.
A Heading Southern FemaI,
Institution Of Learning.

Among the leading institutions of
learning in the south that have sur
vived the wal and increased in use
f%ulness, is the Female Institute Of Co.
lumbus, Mississippi. Columbus has
long been noted as a centre of intelli-
gence, wealth and refinement. 1t
was one Of the few places in our part
Of the country that almost entirely es-
capped the ravages of the late civil
strife and preserved unimpaired its
local institutions, customs, spirit and
society. The tread of unfriendl armies
was never heard in its streets, but
those who were friendly always re-
ceived a most cordial welcome there,
as many a survivor Of Forests com
mand and others can testify. The
place was noted for the number and
gallantry Of the companies it sent
forth, for the promotions Of its soldier
citizens and the hospitality of the
brave and beautiful ladies who re-
NAMED at home. No place in
the south ever boasted of more refined
society, Drawer men, or prettier girls.
Columbus is still a social and an in
tellectual centre, not a commercial
city strictly speaking, yet the entrepoi
Of a rich and prosperous county, q
seat Of culture and hospitality where
enterprise and public spirit are fully
abreast Of the times. Situated on the
banks of the Tombigbee river
which is nsvigable, with the vas
and rich prairies of Mississippi.
stretching to the westward and thu
piney woods Of Alabama to the east
it is one of the prettiest and health
lest little cities on the continent
Within the limits of Columbus ar
many prosperous business houses ant
elegant residences, with beautiful
yards and shade trees. 1t is a charm
ing place to visit and must be a delight
full place to live.
These facts and thoughts are sug
gested by a circular from the Colum
bus Female Institute before us, whic.
deserves more than a passing men
ton. This school has been in exis
tence thirty-ive years, and is in
very aourishing condition. 1
is literally patronized, as i
deserves 70 be by the cit

The PennsyIynnia Reunion.

To the number of three hundred,
there gathered at Harrisburg, the
other day, survivors of the Pennsyl-
vania corps who were called out when
the state was invaded. With desira-
BILE impartiality, both the leading pres
idential candidates were invited to the
reunion. General Garfield wrote:
Thanks, but | cannot be with you
am overwhelmed with correspondence
and visitors, so / cannot leave home"
General Hancock's note was in the
same strain Thanks for your cor
dial invitation to be present at the re-
union of the Reserves. | very much
regret that my engagements here
are of such a nature as to prevent my
attendance" The local report says:
"Garfeld's was read first, and was fol-
lowed by considerable applause, but it
was nothing in comparison to that
which followed the reading of Hars
cocks letter"

An Ohio lawyer furnishes to our

ed honestly a certificate of admission

the two years necessary for admission.
That there is something in this story
seems not at all unlikely from The
fact that in the sketch he furnished
to the Congressional Directory Mr..

ticed law" 1t will now be in order
for the Tribune to declare exultingly

LONDON, July 16.-The Paris COR
respondent of the Pail Mall Gazette,
in a letter describing the ceremony at
Longchamps on the 18th inst, says:
|"0f the old faces which became motto
rious or celebrated in official regions
when Comparison and moral order
were paramount, few showed them
selves at the review. One of the few
was that of Marshall Canrobert.
Another marshall (MacMahon) was
expected and a place was reserved for
him, but he did not come to occupy
it. One scarcely likes to dwell on the
causes of his absence. Harassed by
creditors and by the ~reproaches of his.
old friends, and grieved at the blow
which has been inflicted on the order,
he has become out of sorts and sees
life in the gloomiest colors. 1t is said
that he attempted last week to advance
to a point from which Hamlet recoiled,
and that a sombre idea has taken ho'd
of him which is a cause OF profound
anxiety and affection to his family y

The beautiful grounds surrounding
