VANDERBILT, NASHVILLE, TESS. ]

Mn. Enron:
To night we have had the anniver
sary of tho Philosophic Literary So
ciety Of V. U. Before the hour APP
pointed for tho opening Of the exer'
cises the chapel was filled with the
culture and beauty of Nashville.
The gentlemen selected to repre-
sent the societies on the occasion
were Mr. T.. l.. Lyons, La, from the
Philosophic, and Mr.. @. g. Butt, n,
c., from the Dialcctic. Owing to in
disposition Mr. Lyon was un'
able 10 perform the duty assigned him
by his society. consequently MIR. Butt
was left TO boar the colors alone. He
entertained the audience with one OF
the best speeches ever delivered in
the chapel by student on a like oc'
casion. His theme was, "The College
Boy" and ably and wittily did he
speak in defense Of that not sufficient
ly appreciated member of society.
Rev. &. w. +. Price, ID. d., acted
rs master of ceremonies, and at the
close of Mr.. Butts speech addressed
the audience for several minutes in
his usual fclicitous style.
Last night we had, at the Masonic
Tneater in the city, the commence
ment OF the Vanderbilt and Nashville
Medical College. One hundred and
twenty-five received diplomas and
were sent forth to practice the heal
ing art. l notice there were several
Texans among the graduates.
There is large number OF Texas
boys in the University. A few years
ago a Nashvillian would have used
"Texln almostas a synonym OF "bar
barian" how it is different. Texas
ranks third in the number of students
here, and am happy to say that they
are bringing no diacredit upon the
Lone Star State.
They are all good students SO fan
as l know, and everyone OF them ID
proud of the grand state from which
he halls.
Tomorrow night we will have the
commencement OF the Department OF
Pharmacy; SO, you see, this is u week
of unusual interest among the stu
dents.
Vanderbilt is fast coming into no
tice, and if not now,-lnd L think it
will soon be the University Of the
South. Here are facilities for young
mans prosecuting his studies for any
situation he may wish to occupy.
Young man, if you desire to fit your
self for the conflict that is before you,
come to Vanderbilt ana take course
in whatever department you wish,and
then so forth to fight and to conquer.
During my stay at the University,
Mr.. L litor, L have never written you,
but unless you consign my letters to
the waste basket, and positively for
bid all communications, you may eX-
pect to hear from me occasion lily in
the future. Worry Trdiy,

THE DEATH of Mme. Blanc, the
widow Of the famous proprietor of the
gambling-rooms, at Monaco, will place
her son-in-law, M. Roland Bonaparte
it is questioned whether he is enti-
tied to the princely style--in posses
sion of very large fortune-one that
can be measured only by the million.
As the young man at the time of his
marriage had nothing but his scanty
pay as lieutenant and his fa-
theirs life closed in absolute want, this
is not the least curious vicissitude
of fortune in the history of family
noted for its ups and downs. 1t is
quite among the possibilities, it may
be added that this marriage may have
its effect upon the map of Europe, OF
rather upon such maps of Europe as
show the little principality of Monaco
What with the opposition of religious
people who travel through that beau
tlful Fart of Europe, the growingpre-
judice on the continent against Ii ems
ing gaming-tables and the abominable
scandals reported almost daily from
Monaco, there is already strong
feeling both in France and Italy
against the further liberation of gam.
bling on the territory of their littlt
neighbor, and the French in a time oI
political excitement are not likely T.
view with complacency the transfer
of possible campaign fund of som
millions to the possession of an activ'
and soldierly young Bonaparte, to b.
perpetually fed by the profits of O q
gantic gambling enterprise.

MOney-HOw 10 Keep IL.

The way to keep money Is to earn
it fairly and honestly. Money so
obtained is pretty certain to abide
with its possessor. But money that
is inherited or that in any way comes
without fair and just equivalent, is
almost certain to 90 as it came. The
young man who begins by saving a
few dollars month and thriftily in
creases his store every coin being
a representative ofgood, solid work,
honestly and manfully done, stands
a better chance to spend the last
part of his life in affiuence and COM
fort, than he, who, in haste to be-
come rich, obtains money by DASH
ing speculations, or the devious
means which abound in the foggy re-
gions lying between fair dealing and
actual fraud. Among the wisest and
most thrifty men of wealth, the cur
rent proverb is-money goes as it
comes. Let the young make a note
of this, aud ses that ii may long
abide with them.

"Who did ?"
"Well, never mind that. Wait till
I'm through with the story. Pres

when he gave his brokers orders by
telephone to buy, other parties got
in considerably ahead of him. He
investigated, and 1t was Just the

he quit thenp Oh, no; he just hired
man to look after that wire, and
the detective traced 1t to where it
was cut in the middle and the two
ends brought down into certain
place so that every message had to
be transmitted twice each way"
"Well, what could he do about
it"
"Wait and you'll see; don't be

reverse all instructions. For in
