ShOrt-Sightedness.


1t will not be forgottn1 that Gov
ernor Ireland took a decided stand
against the admission of students
from other states to our universit V
This opposition is born of a narrow
ness of mind. a range of prejudice and
short-sightedness almost incredible.
Suppose Connecticut and Massachus-
sets had pursued this narrow policy
where would be old Yale now, and
where Cambridge? and how circum-
scribed would have been the range of
the usefulness of these two grand old
institutions of learning. Suppose
New Jersey had retained Princeton
only for the young men of her own
borders. The simple suggestion is ri
diculous, and it reflects no sort of cred
it upon either the state or the people
and it has awakened disgust in the
minds of all intelligent and liberal
men In Texas. This state is winning
golden opinions all over the world, be-
cause of the rapid advance she has,
and is still making in the matter of
schools of all sorts, grades and char
acters. The intent of the founders of
the university to build mp here an in
stitution of learning equal, if not SUI
perior to any in the United States,
was indeed most wise and laudable
one, and one which, while it would
confer unspeakable advantage upon
the youth of Texas, would also prove |
q vast blessing to other states as well
whose young men would seek the adj |
vantage in Texas denied them in this
way at home. Besides this, the rev.
enue derived from the students from
other states, would have been telt to

Probably not since the steam ship
City of Columbus, was cast away
upon the treacherous rocks of the New
England coast, last winter, has there
been a.similar accident SO really dis
tresslng as that reported in the dis
patches from Missouri this morning.
The Grand river furnishes a horror in
which according to the latest summary
twenty-five lives have been sacrificed
not to.a mere accident, but, as appears,
to the negligence and carelessness
which permitted an unsafe and faulty
structure to be crossed by the trains.
Grand River bridge, according to the
statement in the dispatches, is what is
known, in railroad parlance, as "false
work" Every mechanic knows what
sort of structure that is-that 1t is
generally of temporary character
not inter ded to be permanent, and
usually to be used temporarily. That
the bridge was utterly unsafe.
has been proven by the event, by
which dozen persons have lost their
lives by drowning, and IS many more
by being crushed in the rreck as the
rain sank into the waters Dclow. In
his case the responsibility chiefly rests |
With the authority, which allowed the |
Use of so frail and treacherous
tructure. |

MinnIe Palmer snubs a Lord.

From the Boston Daily Globe.
| Considerable speculation has lately
been INDUCED in, says London spe-
cial, as to the motives that led Queen
| Victoria's cousin, Countess Volckman,
to invite Miss Minnie Palmer to spend
last week at the Countess mansion in
Essex. 1t has now transpired that
the invitation was really in the fur
therance of a matchmaking design,
in which species of amiable conspira-
cy the Countess is said to be almost
as much of an adept as her royal
cousin. 1t seems that certain
young and susceptible peer had be-
come smitten with Miss Min
MES somewhat literally displayed
charms in "My Sweetheart" and
wanted to make her his sweetheart.
He confided his desire to Countess
Volkman, who said; elf you want to
make her your wife I'll invite her to
my house where you can see her and
make love to your hearts content"
The meeting was successfully arrang-
ed. and everything went on velvet
until my lord made his declaration,
and laid his heart, title, broad do
mains, ETC.. at the feet of the pretty
actress. Vastly TO his establishment
Miss Palmer rejected his suit, and it
is said that she actually carried her
democratic irreverence for British nc
bility to the leDght of saying that
when she married she believed she
would prefer real man and not
dudelet.
