MINOR TOPICS.

THE Philadelphia Bulletin attributes the
degeneracy of juries in that city to the
fact that the lists are MAIDS up from very
poorly framed assessors lists. 1t is quite
impossible that the most conscientious and
pains-taking judge can have personal
knowledge Of the fitness of SO many per-
sons to serve as jurors, and many of the
fittest people drawn get excused from
service on trivial grounds.
In theHebrew synagogue at Washington
last evening Mr.. Simon Wolf delivered a
lecture on the theme "Have we not all
one Father? ?' in aid of the Irish relief
fund. Mr. Wolf was introduced by Gen.
James R. O'Beirne, secretary of the Irish
relief executive committee. Addresses
were also made by other members of the
synagogue, by Rev. C. w. Dennison, a
Protestant clergyman, and by prominent
Irish citizens. GA fair amount" of money
was realized.
A GENTLEMAN has given the Washing
ton Republic a striking illustration of the
rapid rate at which our country is filling
up. Twenty-Five years ago, in the employ
of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail-
road, he crossed the state of Illinois on the
line of that road. From station to station
scarce a house could be seen. The country
was wilderness. Ten years later, in 1865,
he assisted the construction Of the Burling-
ton & Missouri River railway. Iowa,
from Burlington to Omaha, was the paral-
lei of Illinois in 1855. Now civilization
stretches two hundred miles west of
Omaha, till it reaches the gravelly soil of
the foothills, where artesian wells are es-
sential to civilization. The tide Of settle
ment has rolled down the eastern slope of

The Y. Nj. C. A. Convention.


On Saturday afternoon and evening the
meetings of the district convention were
held in the Duke street NJ. E. church.
The attendance was not large. The topics
discussed were the Importance Of the work
of Ladies' anxiliaries," the duties and
Importance of the work of the general
secretary and executive secretary, how
best to arrange for social and literary work
in connection with the associations, and
work in behalf of boys. These matters
were discussed at some length by John c.
Lynch of Harrisburg, A. F. Hostetter esq.,,
of this city, and several other gentlemen.
Yesterday morning a conservation meet
ing was held in Y. NJ. c. A. hall, and in
the afternoon young mems meeting was
held in the Presbyterian church. The
meeting was conducted by Mr.. D. r.
Thompson and was participated in by
several other young men. Last evening a
service of song and farewell meeting was
held in St. Johns Lutheran church. The
meeting was conducted by Mr.. VIM. NJ.
Bessey, who made an address. He was
followed by Rev. R. w. Hufford, who
spoke at considerable length. The con-
vention then adjourned. The very unpro-
pitious weather which has prevailed was,
no doubt, the cause of the unusually small
number of delegates present from abroad.

THE COLLEGE TROUBLES.
Resignation OF Professor Smytbe.

Resignation OF Professor Smythe.
At the conclusion of morning prayer in
Franklin and Marshall college chapel this
morning. President Apple announced that
the faculty had come to y settlement of
the difficulties between the professor of
mathematics and the Sophomore class. and
had made q disposition of the case. 1t
was conceded on all sides that the method
pursued by the class in making their
grievances known was irregular and un-
lawful and thwarted what might have
been reached in lawful and orderly way
Though the difficulty was occasioned by
the conduct and influence of portion of
the class, the dissatisfaction became
general, and the class as body rebelled,
and unlawfully "cut" the professors
Rotations. Since the faculty first learned
of the dissatisfaction, they have held
number of lengthy meetings, at which
was discussed, not 50 much the act itself,
rs the degree Of punishment to be meted
out to the offending members of the
class. The professor demanded the dis
missal of the offenders. but the faculty
desired a conclusion less severe, which
yet would do justice to do both parties.
1t was decided that the offenders
apologize to the president, promise good
behavior for the remainder of the year and
attendance upon all recitatiOns, and that
they be placed on probation until the close
of the collegiate year. Upon this the pro-
fessor handed the faculty his resignation of
his chair, to take effect Immediately. The
committee on instruction Ga committee of
the board of trustees) were Immediately
apprised of the matter, and they met this
morning to take immediate measures to
temporarily fill the vacated chair. The
hope was expressed that this might be
done by tomorrow, SO that the mathe-
matical course shall 80 on without inter-
ruptiOn. In the interim. the other recita-
tiOns and lectures of all the classes will go
on according to the schedule. The result
of these difficulties is to be regretted, as
Prof.Smythe is Il man of great scholarly at
tainments. He bears with him the highest
recommendations of the faculty, both as u
gentleman and a scholar; and also their
heartiest good will and that of the better
disposed class Of students. The Opini on is
universal that it is difficult to fill the va
cancy with another who is as thorough :.
mathematician as Prof. Smythe.
