to order an investigation of its affairs. Mr..
Barrow, Commissioner of Accounts, has been
directed to examine the business and accounts,

If the University in this city existed solely
for the benefit of the present body of students,
the public would see the academical depart

these young persons have not confined their

impertinent resolutions declaring hir unworthy
of his position. The other day the Chancellor
had occasion to pass through one OF the hall
ways. The students formed themselves in two
lines, and As he walked between them raising

Boston love Language.

from INC NOTTIsTOWN HtTUIu.
1t was a Boston girl who asked ::
"NVhy is it that two souls, mated in
the impenGtrable mystery of their
nativity, float by each other on the
ocean currents of existence, without
being instinctively drawn together,
blended and beautiful in the assimil-
ated alembic of eternal love ?" This
is an easy one 1t is because butter
is forty-fvc cents pound, and good
seal-sk!n sacquo costs as high as $500.
The, neccssaries of life must expert
ence a fall in price before two souls
will readily blend in the assimilatcd
alembic and so forth.

The publication of the details of
The battle at Spitzkop between the
Beers and the English was one of the
most marvellous fcats of newspaper
and telegraph enterprise ever known.
The London Standard sent Mr.. Cam
eron, the resolute, African explorer.
with the British advance to report its
operations. He accompanied it in
its difficult march to the summit of
the fatal height. When the Beers
made the gallant charge in the face of
the British bayonets, about which
they brag so much, and poured over
into the basin from which they drove
the English like sheep, Mr.. Cameron
was knocked down, run over, tram
pied upon and captured. lie showed
his newspaper creden tials and note

fessional identity, was requested to
act as flag of truce bearer TO enable
the English to take care of the wound

that night and wrote his dispatch of
$500 words. This dispatch was put
upon the army field wires and reach
ed the coast. Hence it travelled upon
the east coast of Africa over 5000
miles, and tapped the East India
wires in the gulf Of Eden; thence on
the bottom of the Red sea another
1000 or 5000 miles TO the Mediter-
ranean to Italy; thence through Italy
and over the Alps and through
France and across the British chan
mel to-London. Not stopping there,
il goes TO Yalentia, on the west coast
of Ireland, and speeds across the At
lantic to New York, and across the
continent to San Francisco, and on
the following morning it is printed
in every daily newspaper in the civ
ilized world-a thousand of them in

The WIDOW of 4 Dead President.

The widow of James X. Polk, now
more than eighty years of age, was
recently visited by a correspondent
of the Louisville Courier-J ournal,
who thus describes her: 81 was sur
prised to find in Mrs. Polk a lady of
active movement, bright and ami
mated face, clear and firm voice, and
quick and responsible memory. She
is of medium height, rather stout,
but not obese: has bright and most
pleasing face, without the lines and
burrows accompanying great age, and
her gray or darll-bluc eyes are even
vet sparkling and full of sweet ami
nation. In her beaming face there
still remain abundant traces of the
rare and radiant beauty, lit up by
earnest vivacity, which made her so
attractive and conspicuous thirty odd
years ago, as mistress Of the presi-
dental mansion, and by courtesy or
,cx-of1icio, first lady in the land"

Bennett, n very rich American, has
settled himself in the former resi-.

gances, made light by the ownership
of millions, have not in any degree
damaged him. For example, Bennett

all honorarium of 100000 francs to
come to Pau, where he played n Sc
ries of concerts, of which all Pau
were guests.

| have a horse by the name of Jericho.
He is mare. l have seeu remarkable
horses before, bnt none so remarkable as
this. l wanted horse that would shy,
and this fills the bill. [ had an idea that
shying indicated spirit. If it is correct
1 have the most spirited horse on earth.
He SHES ut everything he comes to with
the utmost Partially. He seems to have
n mortal dread of telegraph poles espe.
cially and it Is fortunate that these are
on both sides of the rad. because as it
now is l never fall off twice in success
ion on the same eide. If fell on the
same side it would get monotonous after

thing he has seen to day, except hay
stack. He walked up to that with an
intrepidity that was astonishing.
And it would fill anyone with admira-
ton to see how he preserved his self
possession in the presence of barley
sack. This daredevil bravery will be
the death of this horse some day. He is
not particularly fast, but l think he will
get me through the land. He has only
one fault. His tail has been chopped off
or else he has set down on it some time
or other. and he has to fight flies with
his heels. This is all very well,
but when he tries to kick fly off the top
Of his head with his hind foot it is too
