SoYTH CAROLINA reopens next October
its 'itary academy at the Citadel in
Char, N, and the News and Courier ex-
presses hope that the Citadel Academy
may become, Sin time, the West Point of
the South" Why the Southern States,
which enjoy equal and common advantages
in West Point itself, need another West
Point, the News and Courier might find it
hard to explain; but it is of no great conse-
quence anyway-except as one more sign of
the foolish Southern habit of treating and
talking of the 'South'' as land by itself, a
habit which has done its inhabitants inf
mite harm in the past, and which institu-
lions, like the Citadel Academy, will perpet-
uate in the future.

His Gift Of Elocution.
Emma Lazarus in the Century,


have never met with any allusion in print
to Emerscns gift of elocution, and yet no one
who heard him read stanza of poetry was
likely to forget it. He INDUCED in no elocu-
tionary tricks, no studied intonations, bat his
voice took on an added sonority,. the verse
seemed to flow from his lips with mingled
force and sweetness which thrilled through the
listeners every fiber. 1t was my good fortune
to hear him read one evening Mr.. Stedman's
ballad of "Ossawatomie Brown" which was
an especial favorite of his. So powerful was
the impression created by the subdued organ
tones, the majesty of his delivery, and the he
roic ring with which he narrated the stirring
tale and chanted the refrain, that confess to
having been then and since utterly unable to
form critical estimate of the poem itself.
Whether it be one of the noblest lays ever sung
by man, or modest and unpfetentious ballad,
1 leave it for unbiased critics to determine; for
my part, am glad to give it the full credit OF
the magical effect produced by its adequate in
terpretatioD.

unless the pressure for admission is too

be numerous. Unless the assassin has great

Carlyle, Emerson and Hugo.
fAtlantic Mouthly.1

He could not fall in with the current OF his
time, as Emerson and Victor Hugo did, his
philosophy was reactionary, and his influence
short-lived. He united with German mysSi-
cism and romanticism an English worship OF
force and caustic Scotch humor that were
quite foreign to it, and the compound of for
eign philosophy and native practice was not

the expectations that have already been au-

THE Philadelphia North American of
Tuesday has the following to say concern
ing sermon delivered in that city Sunday:
DIR. McCook would doubtless have been
greatly disappointed if his fulminations
against Sunday papers and Sunday labor
had not appeared in whole or in part in yes
terday's morning journals, and yet such
publication necessitated the labor of report
ers, editors, compositors and Others on Sun
day. DR.. NcCook in his excess of zeal
merely did what many others under similar
circumstances are apt to do-talk about
matters with which Athey have very imper-
feet acquaintance. The reverend gentleman
claimed to be thoroughly posted, and yet
made the remarkable assertion, and one
wholly unfounded, that London has no Sun
day papers. Weak logic is bad enough as
an elementin pulpit discourse, but will
full or ignorant misstatement is matter for
which there can be no excuse. The Church
has quite enough on its hands, quite enough
legitimate work to do without hunting
around for sensational subjects to make SER
mons about.

of Maine expects to get his Prohi-
bition cohorts together in the course
of a few days to consider what shall
be done about the Republican nominations.

be accomplished through the Republican or
ganization, then the general says the extre-
mists will 'let the Republican runners

of Maine are in no condition to spare til e

that-but are the temperance men in posi-
ton to accomplish any practical good either

ANOTHER millionaire has made in his
lifetime a noble disposition of his wealth for
the public good, and Mr.. Slater, the Connec-
ticut philanthropist, has found worthy ri
val in Mr.. Paul Tulane, of Princeton, N. j.
Mr.. Tulane has conveyed to trustees real es-
tate valued at 100000 for the purpose of
affording the youth of New Orleans with
facilities for acquiring a collegiate educa-
ton. There are, it is true, many people
who think that the practical advantages of
collegiate education are not so great as is
generally supposed, but however tAat may
be, Mr.. Tulane's splendid munifcence fur
nishes another signal illustration of Ameri-
can liberality. There is perhaps no country in
the world where SO much money is given by
the rich for the benefit of their less fortu-
nate fellows as is given in the United States.

WHEN an engineer on the Clearfeld, Pa,
railroad tested his upper gauges the other
day, he found the water in the boiler all
right, and was turning his attention to the
track when he heard his father plainly say,
"Try the lower gauge" As. his father had
been dead eight years, this surprised him;
and while he wondered, he heard the voice
again, clearly ordering him to try the lower
gauge Then he tried the lower gauge and
found the boiler foaming and within few
minutes of an explosion. This the engineer
will go into anybody's court and swear to.
