Bishop Bowman, of the NJ. L, church. and
Rev. Dr. Martin president of Asbury Uni
versity, Greencastle, while being warmly
greeted socially on their visit TO this city
met with no financial success in the way of
raising the $50 600 required from the Meth
odists of Indiana before Asburv University
can become the legatee of Mr.. w. c. DePauw
for $500. 600 Immediately and 81, 900. 600 after
his death as an endowment of the institution.
OF course New Albany people do notfeel like
being liberal in this regard, for it is TO be re-
membered that Mr.. DePauw's original pur-
pose was to found a grand literary university
at this city. and was diverted from this pur-
pose by the opportunities of the authorities
of the Methodist church, who regard Asbury
UGversity as the most important educational
enterprise of the church in the West, and
properly, doubtless, and were of opinion
that a second institution would be fatal to its
interests not seemingly being willing that
that college should become part OF the con
tefuplated DePauw University. Another
reason for 4 lack of interest at New Albany
IN Asburv is that coeducation OF the
sexes has been adopted in its system, and
thar is not popular in Indiana. New Albany,
especially, is not partial 10 it. 1t has an in
stitution-DePauw College-devoted exclu-
sivelT to the higher education Of young wo-
men, and that has had struggle for estab-
iishment. The Asbury scheme OF coeduca-
ton will be fatal to to the interests of the
New Albany institution if carried out as
foreShadowed. unless the friends of the latter
Institution rally to its aid. Therefore, while
all the New Albany people were glad to
meet and most warmly greeted the genial
and greatly loved Bishop and his no less gen
fal companion, Rev DR.. Martin they could
hardly be expected. under the circumstances,
to financially assist in their mission.

MRS. COUGARS COMMENTS ON THE TRIAL,
From Our Herald.
About twenty or thirty witnesses have thus
far been examined in behalf of the defend
ant, but as yet not a particle OF the testimony
has been introduced bearing upon the pre-
tended occurrence which the defendant says
he saw on the night of the 10Th Of November
last, and which is the real subject matter of
the controversy. Our whole life, rs seen and
Judged by defendants witnesses, is being pre-
sented to the jury, as preliminary to the in
PRODUCTION of evidence on the main issue. 1t
is not proper that, pending the trial, we
should attempt to detail the testimony, or
comment upon it. We shall at present do
no more than to keep our readers posted as to
the PROGRESS made in the proceedings In all
the annals of the persecution of women such
a spectacle has never been presented or such
an insult to womanhood- and justice been
enacted ~
