"NAZING- CONDEMNED.


We are glad to see that the Stat
University at Berkeley is determined t
put an end to the wretched practice o
"hazing" that has been so lamentabl,
common in our American colleges. I
is almost as bad as the custom of duel
ing among German students, long sc
notorious and always SO barbarous. The
older students put vn airs and combine
to degrade and impose mean, burden
some or odious work upon the novices
or new members, and if these do not
meekly submit to the disgraceful treat
ment, as they seldom will, then their
cOnceited and dictatorial elders go to
any excess Of brutality to enforce their
orders. 1t is relic of old feudal habits,
totally unsuited to the age in which We
live, and the republican institutions
that we all profess to admire and honor
Let the infamous practice be abolished,
and let boys be taught severe but sal
utary lesson, who dare indulge in this
brutal habit. Every parent will COM
mend the action Of the University au-
thorities in making an example of the
recent offenders at Berkeley.
The Chicago Times: Vanderbilt has
not only disposed of his interest in the
Union Pacific, but the Times has trust
worthy information that he has sold his
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy stock.
His interest in this property was var
iously estimated in speculative circles
at from S3,500,00O to $6,000,000. In
conversation with reporter of the
Times several months ago he admitted
that the interest exceeded S4,000,000,
though he laughingly declined to state
the exact amount of his ownership in
that road. 1t is asserted by persons
who have some knowledge of Mr.. Van
derbilt's schemes that he is transferring
his interest in Union Pacific to the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, and
that the money derived from the sale
ofChicago. Burlington and Quincy stock
has been invested in the Lake Erie and
Western.
Yesterday met Jefferson Davis. He
said that in the presence of General
Garfeld's coffin he was unable to say a
bitter word or to feel animosity against
any portion Of the American Union.
The eX-President of the Southern Con-
federacy is an unobtrusive elderly man
Of methodical habits and simple tastes.
He appears to avoid angering topics
and is reticent in giving his opinion
about the leading men Of the South who
plunged with him into the terrible adj
venture in which he was worsted. Jeffer-
son Davis and General Mcclellan, who
is also now here, have found themselves
face to face in hotel parlor, and ex-
words of corteous greeting
General Mcclellan is on very friendly
terms, I hear, with the Princes of the
Orleans family, and has received fiat /
tering marks Ofattention. -Paris Letter.
A deformed body is often concealed

A dispatch from Washington yester-
lay states that Tyner has resigned.
This indicates that he has given up the
