Southwestern presbyterian University.
Christian Observer.

MEssRs. EDITORS II have seen
in some of our religious journals The
statement that at the recent meet
ing of the board OF trustees of. Da-
wilson College, professor G.. f.
Nicolassen, of the Southwestern
Presbyterian University, was cleo
ted to Professorship of Greek and
German" AT first reading, one
would naturally be led to suppose
that the Professor was elected upon
his own candidacy, which itself
would have been honorable to him,
OF course. But when it was known
that he was not only not can1i-
date for the position, but he de-
clined positively to become a candi-
date, though urged by private
friend to present his name, then
does it appear doubly honorable to
this young and rising scholar, that
he was called to so high and eligi-
BILE position in this venerable in
stitutiOn And our institution
which has been enjoying the benefit
of his valuable services during the
past session, prefers also her just
claim to, at least, a portion of the
honor, by indirect reflection, since
one whom we have enrolled among
the most valued of an accomplish
ed and able faculty, should be
deemed worthy 10 be sought after
by sister institution.
We do not, therefore, complain Of
the course pursued by Davidson,
since it is /, the me-honOred GUS
tom, in the Republic of Letters, to
honor meritoriOus laborers where
ever they are found and =, it has
furnished an occasion on which, to
our sincere and heartfelt gratitica-
ton, Prof. NicOlassen has warmly
expressed his preference to continue
in the service of the Southwestern
Presbyterian University, rather than
to accept this fiattering invitation
to Davidson College. The public
may be assured that no change is
contemplated in our faculty rs now
constituted.
Our prospects are favorable, and
we confidently trust, by the bless
ing of that gracious God, who has
thus far led and sustained us, that
our success i'm the future will be at
least, as it has been III the past,
land even more abundantly."

John S. Wightman, of Pennsyl-
Vania says of our State: That Ten
nessee is rapidly advancing to the
foremost ranks OF the excelsior
States of the union can now hardly
be disputed. The time is not far
hence when it will stand unequaled
among the other States. And why
not? Its mineral and agricultural
products are not surpassed by any
other State, except, perhaps, those
States which are specially noted for
some certain production. That Ten
nessee has rich farming lands, ex-
tensiVe timber tracts of the very
choicest kinds of timber, large
quantities of coal, an ineXhaustible
supply of iron ores, and the best of
facilities for the transportation OF
the same, is an undeniable fact.
The best evidence of the sterling
qualities of the State is, that every
soldier who has been there speaks
in glowing terms of the pure air
and water, the variety of elevation,
lovely valleys, the beautiful table
lands, and the healthiness of the
State OF Tennessee.
AnOtner strong argument IN favor
of this vast State of rich resources
is, that before the war the city of
Chattanooga contained but 5000 in
habitants. After the close of the
war soldiers from many different
States flocked back to this new gar
den of the South, and such numbers
That within.a short time Chattanoo-
ga alone was sWelled to and bOas-
ted of a population of 200 people.
At the present time hundreds of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana
farmers, mechanics, and capitalists
are emigrating to the State of Ten
nessee, and it is patent to every
man, be he farmer or what he is,
that now is the time to purchase
lands there, while they are to be
had at reasonable figures, within
the reach of all. There is no better
place on earth to make a home.
The people are extremely hospita-
BILE, and the best of schools and
churches are abundant.

Ftye Hoos Killed BY L,qbtn,no

Five hogs were lying under tree
on the farm of Col. ID. w. Irvine,
near Richmond, KY, when it was
struck by lightning. All five in
stantly rolled over on their backs,
with their feet in the air, apparent
ly stiff and dead. They lay in this
condition fully an hour, when the
colonel sent man to stick them
with knife that they might bleed
and be prepared for food. The man
took hold of one of the animals and
stuck it under the throat, but the
weapon was dull and the blade did
not enter the hide. Instantly the
hog jumped up and ran off, and the
other fourat the same moment did
likewise. All of them were stunned
but not hurt

The State officials of Tennessee
are in no danger of growing rich on
their salaries. For instance, the
Governor gets but $1,000; Comp
troller, $3.50; Treasurer, $500 /;
Secretary of the State, 81 500; Com
missioner OF Agriculture, $4,000,
Supreme Court Judge, $4,000. The
cost of living in the capital city OF
the State leaves her officials but lit
tie of their salaries at the end Of the
year.

THE New York Tribune says one
may see in Union Square, or in
Wall street, small, elderly man
who carries carefully wrapped and
strapped, a long tin case containing
a parchment which he will display
on the slightest provOcation. He
never offers it Tor sale-in fact, he
refuses to part with it-and announ-
ces his intention to present it on
his death to some historical society.
He is poor man, who ekes out his
existence with his pen. On such
occasions he explains that the doc
ument is the original Constitution
of the Confederate States, with the
signatures of those delegates who
originally met at Milledgeville, Ga,
for provisional organization. The
man was aid-de-camp on the stats
of Gems. Beauregard and Lee while
they commanded the Army of Vir-
ginia.

A RECENT survey shows that the
valley OF the South Forked Deer
river reaches eastwardly to point
within ten miles of the Tennessee
river, and the Jackson Wing .sug-
gests the plan of cutting canal
about fifteen miles in length and
uniting the waters Of the two rivers
This would improve the navigation
on the Forked Deer and shorten the
distance between the upper Tennes-
see and the lower Mississippi about
1000 miles and make the short cut a
great thoroughfare for commerce.
There are no engineering difficulties
in the way and the project is well
worth considering.

A Rich Man Starved.

"Yes, poor fellow" was the reply,

tStarvation Good gracious, the
man was worth $5U, 000n' Ia.
~ know that; nevertheless, he
died of starvation. Phi tell you
how it was. Jones was always fan
cying that there was something the
matter with him so he went to a
doctor one day and had himself eX-
amined, and the doctor informed
him that he had kidney disease,
and that, besides taking medicine,
he must diet himself. Said the
doctor: "YOu must avoid all kinds
of salt, salt fish, potatoes, cabbage
and vegetables of every kind"
Jones followed the advice, but found
himself no better. He went to an.
other doctor, and, after being eX-
ahmed, was informed that he must
avoid all kinds of fresh meat also.
This did not do him any good, as
he thought, and he went TO another
doctor, who highly approved of the
advice which had previously been
given, and further warned him
against all kinds of pastry, likewise
shell fish, including oysters and
CLAIMS. 1.-The best thing for you is Il
milk diet,"- said this doctor so
Jones lived entirely on milk. Not
feeling himself any better he went
to another doctor, who advised him
to avoid milk above all things if he
wanted to get well. This reduced
Jones to a diet of cold water and
fresh air, and, finding himself no
better under this regime, he went
to another doctor, who advised him
to beware of drinking too much
water and being too much in the air.
This last advice cut off the last of
Jones' articles of diet, and he died
of starvation, rs / have told you.
