ELMwOOD.

Not long since. We strolled through
this, the most beautiful cemetery IN
the South, around which so many
tender memories cling. The winding,
gravslled walks, handsome cedars,
elms, arbor-vitaes tastefully arranged
and well-kept flowers, make up a scene
which can only be surpassed by the
far famed Greenwood Cemetery in
Brooklyn. Splendid monuments, over
living tributes to those who rest be-
meath them, are quite numerous with
III the sacred walls Of Elmwood.
Among them we may mention that of
Wade II. Bolton, who was assassi-
mated in 1869, just in front of the
west gate Of Court Square, by a man
named Dickens. A flmily fcud thus
caused the destruction of Of Che last
Of his race. The monument is Il re-
markablO one, being lifc-like repre-
sentation of Of tbs victim of this most
unfortunate vendetta, and cost, We
believe, $1,000 in Italy.
W. c. COVER
one Of the most imposing, and perho ps,
the costliest monument in the ceme-
terry, is that of w. &. Goyer, the IA
nous merchant prince, and is situated
in the prettiest part Of EImwood
Chapel Hill. The base of the figure
is variegated granite, all the more con
spicuous because of It's sImplicitity
surmounted by a masterpiece of art,
IN the Egyptian style. Little Cupid:
keep vigils at each side, while at the
height of nearly thirty feet, and
browning all, is the statue Of Mrs.
Goyer, true 10 life in every detail.
A WORTHY CASE.
Tho knights of Pythias' handsome
and attractive monument, carved ou
of solid marble, and indicative Of tbs
designs of the Order, next claimed our
attention. 1t is splendid achievement
in the sculptor's art, and fifty adorni
the knights of Pythias' lot in the pref
test part IF the cemetery.
Many other designs of equal sizt
aud beauty are to be seen here anC
there, but none of them impressed Vi
moro than the Memorial to the Confed
crate dead, around whose graves
unknown and unmarked as they are
| forever shines q halo Of glory that can
not fade away.
There is ngdeath. The stars go
down
To rise upon sotHs fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forovermore."

and Lapham is beginning to be spoken
Of as certain, and the votes show tina. a
breakup of the deadlock Is among the
possibilities. Conkling, it is said, utterly
refuses to withdraw. This was to have
been expected. A man who was capable
of resigning as he did, and then of making
this preposterous contest, was certainly not
capable of doing the one sensible thing re-
manning possible to him. He will there
fore, no doubt, remain at his "post until
he finds himself alone, and when his sue
cessor has been elected, and he is literally
thrust out of the contest, he will retire /;
that is to say, in the most undigniied and
absurd manner possible. And as for his
foolish friends, if they do not make up
their minds pretty soon to act like sensible
men, they will find themselves on the out
side of the Republican party, with very
slight chance of reinstatement. Had they
not been bewitched, they would have per
ceived month ago that their master was

D. o. MILLS GIFT TO THE UNIVERSITY

EDS. RECORD UNION 1t would be ex-
ceedingiy unfortunate if, through any mis-
apprehension of the facts, the munifcent
contribution of MIR. d. o. Mills to "good
learning" in California should be in any way
belittled in the eyes of the people of the
State, and more especially so if that result
should go out from this, his own home. VIII
you not therefore publish this in correction
of the error contained in an editorial article
in this mornings issue of the RECORD q MON.
The Regents are in fact not limited 10 the
manner in which they may invest this and
similar gifts, as they are in the case of money
derived from the sale Of lands granted by the
Government for the benefit of the University.
It is only necessary to refer to the gift by
Michael Reese of $50, eco to the University
library which is securely invested at ten per
cent per annum, yielding s., 600 annually for
the benefit Of the library. This is all had
intended to say, but l cannot resist the
temptation to improve the oppor-
tunity thus afforded of adding a single
word. The Regents iE their recent action,
have been severely, and to many, as it seems,
hastily criticised and abused. It is not my
intention to attempt a defense, nor could it
be made now by any one. for it is only time
that can demonstrate either the wisdom or
unwiadom of their action. d. O. Mills has
been a Regent for many years, is the Treas
urer OF the University, and is thoroughly con-
versant with all its affairs. Ee has, more
over, been in position during all these years,
to do at any time what he waited until last
Saturday to do. would respectfully submit,
therefore, whether the practical manifesto
ton by him at this time of faith in the future
of the University ought not to suggest to
those less favorably situated than he to know
whereof they speak or act, the propriety of
Withholding, for time at least, any very
pronounced expression of opinion TO the
effect that the changes recently made by the
Regents have been altogether bad, ill-advised
aud fatal to the University. Respectfully,
yours, FRED. NJ. CAMPBELL

THE ALBANY SITUATION.

The stalwarts at Albany have evi,
IDENTIFY discovered that their refusal to join
the Republican caucus placed them in a
very awkward position, and to cover this
they have impudeutly proposed to their
opponents the holding of another caucus,
on the thin pretense that the first was
in some way irregular. The answer they
have received to this prcposterous demand
is however sufficiently clear and direct to
put down even their audscity. Il is
shown that they have no shadow OF reason
for charging irregularity in the other
caucus that they had full opportunity to
join it and that the objections which they
urge against the nomination of Miller and
Lapham are Of a piece with their general
statements, namely frivolous. The reply
ends with dignified but firm declaration
Of the impcssibility of complying with the
proposition of the Conkling boilers. They
are therefore thrown back into their old
position, which is that OF factions deserters
from the Republican party. On the other
hand the real Republicans are making de.
cided Roadway. The election Of Miller

GRIscoM's FAST OVER.

And now another faster has completed
his selfimposed penance at Chicago. He
has shown that human life can be sustained
without food for forty-fye days, and he
seems to have come out of the ordeal in
much better condition than Tanner was.
It remains to be seen, however, whether
the man whom forty.tive days of fasting
could not kill, will survive the Gargan.
tuan repast he has ordered for himself at its
close. Should he succeed in digesting this
meal it will become necessary to revise
some OF the medical theories about the
necessity of dealing gently with the
stomach after long fast. OF
course the practical utility of these
fasts from scientific point of view
is very small, for while mar
may fast forty or forty-fve days where he
has all the conditions under his control, il
does not follow that man could do the
same if he was shipwrecked, or lost his
way in desert. We are also inclined tc
think that where it is impossible to pro
cure food the influence of this knowledge
upon the system is very depressing, ani
hastens the collapse of the sufferer
Griscom has beaten Tanner, and it is now
in order for somebody to beat Griscom
A fifty days fast will do it, but there il
little probability that the experiment vii
be undertaken, as Griscom's fast has beer
a financial failure. The fact is that ther,
is too little excitement in watching a faste
to attract the sight loving public.

blR MILLS DONATION.

We print note from Mr.. Campbell in
regard to the probable proceeds of the
Mills donation to the University. lie
gays in cases of this kind the Regents are
not restricted as to the character of their
investment. and that they can obtain Elk
per cent. at least upon the S75, 900 Just
presented to them by Mr.. Mills. We are
glad to learn that the sum will thus pro-
ducs enough TO pay frst.class Professor
a respectable salary. We cannot, how
ever, admit the force of Mr. Campbells
suggestion that Mr.. Mills gift ought to be
accepted as an argument in favor of the
good administration of the University.
Mr.. Mills has not attended great deal to
the affairs of the University, nor perhaps
is he specially fitted to form correct
judgment as to its educational manage
nenG. That he believes in the Institution
is . fact sufficiently demonstrated by his
handsome gilt to it. but from this fact we
,nnst declins 20 infer anything further.
