The following from the pen of
one of the most profound publicists
in the United States will be read
with interest. 1t may look out of
place in a non-partisan journal, but,
coming as it does from great poll
tical student, and presenting a new
and original picture of a great polit-
ical struggle, we give it place in
our columns rars.5
Both the great political parties
have put their candidates in the
field, each pair to make the best use
of their opportunities in the way OF
persuading tue people to give them
their votes. 1t is not necessary

treat of the nominees of other par
ties, though it is quite possible that
in certain contingencies, the bug

tions of the regular political proph-

PROUD OF His CoUNTRY.-A
prominent lawyer from Knoxville
was recently being driven by small
boy from Lancing to Wartburg in
the vehicle that plies daily between
those places. The small boy is very
greatly interested in politics, espec-
tally in the pending presidential
election, and at once seized the OPP
portunity of testing the opinion of
the prominent lawyer.
Small Boy-I say lawyer who do
you reckon will be elected President
this year?
Prom. Lawyer-Cleveland Of
course.
Small Boy-"Of coorse?" Why
do you think so?
Prom. Lawyer-Well among
other reasons, | guess he will carry

Small Boy-Well | don't think he
will, | think Blaine will be elected.
Prom. Lawyer-Now what are
your reasons for thinking SO.

d
The foundations are laid, upon
which a glorious temple of educa-
tion may be reared, and the rolling
centuries will cast around it, the
mantle of tradition, and fill all
inches with the busts of its noblest
sons. The work of the University
is now beginning to be known and
to react favorably. Students edu-
Gated here fill various positions
in law, physic, and divinity, and
their success is assuring and en-.
couraying, The University is rap
idly increasing numerically and in
fame, and bids fair to realize the
noble purpose of those who laid it's
foundation in times of difficulty,
trial and discouragement. Three
excellent stone buildings:-the Ii
brary, containing $4,000 vols, chiefly
theological; St. Luke's Theological
Hall; and the Hall of Science, have
replaced corresponding wooden
structures, and when the necessary
funds are forthcoming, the present
Church of St. Augustine will be
represented by worthier structure,
in stone and marble.
The town of Sewanee consists of
a series of residences, built on either
side of the main road and it's spurs;
and removed some little distance
from the street away among the
trees.
The approaches to the majority
of these residences is by winding
well kept carriage drives, amongst
lawns and flowers. This gives an
airof seclusion, and repose to the
whole village and reminds the wand
dering Britisher of some of the older
suburbs of London or other of the
ancient towns of England; the bare
faced newness of the thriving new
Country village is conspicuous by
its absence.
The tone of the matin and vesper
bell, strikes the ear dreamily, and
recalls thoughts of monasticism and
pelce, as we listened to its throb-
bings, then rose the tender memory
of "days that are dead but from
whose ashes may arise the better
days to come. In nothing is the
impression of the University more
perceptible than in the courtesy
which is habitually shownto visitors.
Here Rugby and Sewanee stand
upon common ground and deserve
honorable comparison. We hope
that the near future will enable us
to place before the public an edu-
cational scheme, that will do for
Rugby q work similar to that which
the University is doing for Sewanee
We have all the physical possibili-
ties of Sewanee, and more, may hel
shadow never be less, and ours
greater.
