The Wesleyan University.


 The Wesleyan endowment fund of $500, -1 900 has recently been increased to $500, 1000. George I. Seney, the New York banker and philanthropist, became interested and added $100,OO0 to the fund upon condition that an equal sum be raised among the friends of Wesleyan. The sum was raised and second amount of $50, 900 was contributed, when MT. Seney again came forward and gave the other $50,O0', which increased the fund to $S0A, ,000. MT. Seney has before given $100, 600 to the university for the establish ment of free scholarship, and with all his generosity has subscribed $55O,00 of the total amount of the fund. He has proposed to give still another $100,O0 on condition that an equal sum be raised, and thus swell the total to $1, 100000.
 The Drowning of Two Boys i'm Middle town.
 The drowning of two bright little boys in Saddle Hill district, Middletown, on Mon day afternoon, brings the warning to parents to give the caution to the boys not to ven- l ture on the ice The two boys were Albert | s. and Osmin Atkins. Osnin ventured on 1 the pond, broke through, and his older I brother, in trying to save him was pulled in l and both shared the same sad fate It is said that it is very doubtful, though, that many an older person would have displayed the courage and real bravery that was shown in | the action of Albert, little boy only Is years old, in his efforts to save his nine year | old brother Osmin. In about two hours af- l ter their bodies were recovered, and when ! found, they were both locked in close em- brace. Both boys were well known and very much liked, being considered among the brightest. They were the orphan children of ! the late Osmin Atkins. For about year they have been living on Saddle Hill with l their grandmother, Mrs. Knowlton.

INDIANA ELECTIONS.

The people of Indiana have adopted
several amendments to their State Con-
stitution, one Of which changes the time
Of holding the State elections from
October to November. A few years ago
there were three States which, from their
large population and the equal division
of parties, exercised through their Octo-
Der elections potential influence over
the Presidential election in the following
month. These States were Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana. Pennsylvania dis
covered some time ago that this pivotal
position could only be maintained at the
expense of the purity of her State cleo
tions. Both parties strained every point
to carry in October State whose verdict
sent an army Of camp followers into the
ranks of the successful party. As
goes Pennsylvania, so goes the Union,"
became a political proverb The whole
force of both parties was concentrated in
that State to obtain the moral effect of
victory assured that the battle for the
coming month would thereby be substan-
tally gained OF the three States, Penn
sylvania was the first to retire from this
position. Indiana has now followed her
example, leaving Ohio alone of the large
States to indicate in October the verdict
of November. 1t is not probable that
Ohio will long stand the entire brunt of
the National contest. A faction which
was bad enough when its responsibilities
were shared by three States will become
intolerable when narrowed down to one.
There will be time before 1884 for Ohio
to follow the example Of Pennsylvania
and Indiana in SO amending her State
Constitution that her State elections will
take place as in most OF the other States,
on the same day as the Presidential cleo
ton.

Tur K1w1.K1wr-In a little compart.

THE KIwI-KIwI.-In little compart-
ment of the ostrich house resided the
principal object of our visit, that quaint
est and most uncanny of birds, the ap-
teryx or kiwi-kiwi, which were long
thought by naturalists to be mythical
creature. 1t never comes out at all but
at night, and even then, on this occas-
ion, he had perceived our approach and
taken up his usual place of concealment
among the straw. 1t is little monde
script, with long, curved beak, no tail,
the nearest rudiments of wings, which
are not visible through the plumage, and
large, powerful feet, with which it kicks
in very formidable manner, while it can,
by striking them on the ground, make a
tremendous noise quite disporportionate
to its size. 1t lives chiefly on worms,
and having its nostrils set at the very
tip of the beak, can pry them out in their
nocturnal rambles without the aid of
eyes. Having discovered the whereabouts
of worm, it is said to entice them to
the surface by stamping on the ground.
We cannot vouch for this as fact, and
must confess that if we were worm we
should be anything but allured by such
burglarious clatter overhead. Saturday
