nau outgroWn the warfare OF the Faculty,
now consisting of combined strength of 500
chapters with 10000 members in the United
States alone. They greatly aid in development
OF perfect harmony in morality, manly affec-
tion and intellect. The lesson of politics
learned and practiced under their influence at
colleges fitted college graduates to assist in pre-
serving our free institutions, They taught the
students the philosophy of man in his relation
to himself and his fellow-man, and brought
together the educated from all colleges and
combined them together to advance education
| and good and pure government.
DR.. Gunnison gave powerful address on
"The Prospects and Perils of Education, -

| thusiasm by the brothers.
Subsequently the members were entertained
| by collation. on the invitation of the Kappa
| Lambda Chapters of Tufts and Bowdoin Col
| leges, under whose auspices the meeting of the
| Grand Chapter was held.
The Zeta Psi Fraternity is one of the Oldest
and largest college fraternities in the country
and IS the first to establish chapters without
| the limits of the United States It has grad
| uate associations in the New England, Middle,
| Western and Pacific States, and is noted fol
| the number of its members that have achieved
| positions of prominence in politics, religion
and letters. The internal machinery of the
society is said to closely resemble that of the

mission OF Dakota as State and remarked

sion was wholly partisan and malignant
Mr.. Garland said the first expression In the
Senate against its admission came from the
Senator from Maine (Mr. Hale)
Mr.. Hale said he had objected to the ad-
mission of Dakota because the repud alton
of the Yankton county bonds had been sane
toned by the Territorial legislature and he
thought it was neither right nor fair that his
action should be characterized as it had been
by Mr.. ingalls,.
On motion of Mr. Malone resolution was
adopted instructing the Secretary of the Treas

tion.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5.-Allison q. Mason,
Boston business man, has sued Aaron K.
Frick, flour dealer and note broker of this
city, to recover a $1,000 Denver City bond
alleged to have been stolen. Six thousand dol

What is a CrsoleP

Mr.. Cables long-promised historical
sketches on New Orleans are begun in the
January Century with an illustrated answer
to the query, "Who are the Creoles?'' in
part as follows: "Even in Louisiana the
question would be variously answered. The
title did not, here, first belong to the descen-
dants of Spanish but of French settlers
But such meaning implied certain ex-
cellence of origin, and so came early to in
clude any native, of French or Spanish de-
scent by either parent, whose non-Alliance
with the slave race entitled him to social
rank. Later, the term was adopted by-not
conceded to-the natives of mixed blood,
and is still so used among themselves. At
length the spirit of commerce saw the mon
ey-value of SO honored title, and broad
ened its meaning to take in any creature or
thing of variety of manufacture peculiar to
Louisiana that might. become an object Of
sale: as creole ponies, chickens, cows, shoes,
eggs, wagons, baskets. cabbages, negroes,
etc. Yet the creoles proper viii not share
their distinction with the worthy "Acadl-
an.' He is creole only by courtesy, and
in the second person singulaR Besides
French and Spanish, there are even, for con-
venienee Of speech, ''colored' creoles; but
there are no Italian, Siclian, nor any Eng
lish, Scotch, Irish, or Yankee" creoles,
unless of parentage married into, and them
selves thoroughly proselyted in, creole soci-
ETY.. Neither Spanish nor American domi-
nation has taken from the creoles their
French vernacular. This, also, is part of
their title; and in fine, there seems to be no
serviceabe definition Of the creoles of Louis
lana than this: that they are the French
speaking, native. ruling class. There is no
need to distinguish between the higher and
humber grades of those from whom they
sprang. A few settlers only were persons Of
rank and station. Many were the children
of the casket-girls, and many were of such
stock as society pronounces less than moth.
ing; yet, in view of that state of society
which the French Revolution later over
turned, any present oyerplus of honor may
as well fall to the children of those who
filled the prisons before as of those who
filled them during that bloody conyulsion

The announcement from the State capital
produced a genuine sensation throughout the
city. The following is the reportof the leglas-
tive committee.
the Comptroller and Treasurer report they
have visited the Office of the treasurer and up
on inquiry find that the treasurer is away
from the capital and bas been for two days
and they are not advised when he will return.
His clerk states he cannot go into settlement
of the treasurer's account until his return.
They also have information from bondsmen
or some of them that the condition of the
treasury is such that they feel justified in re-
commencing that the workings of the treasury
be stopped until an examination can be
had"
The Senate adopted the following joint resa-
luton;
Whereas the Senate has reason to believe M
L. Polk, present treasurer, is a defaulter for
about four hundred thousand dollars,s and
whereas, bond given by said officer is not suffi-
Giant in amount to secure said deficit therefore
Resolved by the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives that the Attorney General of the
State be and is hereby instructed to attach in
stanter all available assets belonging to said
M. I. Polk, provided sufficient grounds exist,
to the end that the same may be held
for satisfaction Of said deficit.
The missing funds are supposed to have been
lost in speculation in stocks. Treasurer Polk
left Nashville Wednesday and was last heard
OF at Milan, Tennessee, from which point he
wrote that he would return Sunday. He is 81
years old, a graduate of West Point and served
four years on the frontier
