THE Joe Brown University is to
be the name of Georgia college, with
Senator Brown as patron.
-Unioa College, Schenectady, has
given to . lady the important post of
registrarship, and she is discharging
her duties with complete suecess.--Troy

Cardinal Manning recently told a
wealthy congregation, that an attempt
to reach the masses and to provide
something for the suffering of his poor,
was OF more account than an eudeaYor
to raise a second Westminster Abbey.
The old church at Nottingham
Center, VT, which was built in 1898,
but has been unoceupied and going to
decay for many years. has been pulled
down. 1t was used at the Centennial
celebration of 1880 by taking out one
Rutland Herald.
The Williams college Catalogue, :"
1SS3-84, is issued, and shows large
classes and a generally successful state
of things. The Seniors are tifty-four
in number, the Juniors eighty-four,
the Sophomores sixty-one and the
Freshmen eighty-fve.--Boston Post.
The school system in England bears
very unequally upon the artisan class.
The mechanic whose earnings are three
shillings q week for every member of
his family pays no fees, but if this sum
is exceeded BY q single cent he must
pay. The working classes are thor
oughly dissatisfied with thepresent reg
ulations.
The question of ''caste'' came up in
the recent meeting of the American
Missionary Association, the subject
being the work in the South. The Id
Uance says: .eShal we organize caste
churches in the South? No, because
caste is unohristian, equally in Geor-
gia and India No discrimination is
the wise policy proposed. rs
Rev. r. Clergyman, aged eighty
five, of Hinsdale, Cattaraugus County,
N. T., who has not preached for several
years, retired to his bed one night re-
Gently and dreameda complete sermon.
On the next night the dream was re-
peated word for word, and so wildly
was it impressed upon his mind that
upon arising in the morning he trans
ferred the .'dream sermon" to paper
and delivered the same from the pulpit
the next Sunday All who listened to
it pronounced it the best he ever deliy-
ered.-M Y Tribune. g
The Providence (R. L. Press
makes a strong plea in favor of conlpul-
sorry education and truancy laws.
Their effect" {" it says, 'shas been uni
formly salutary. OF course, it is not
claimed that they have entirely done
away with immortality and crime, nor
that they are likely to do so. But il is
claimed, and abundant facts support
the assertion, that the operation OF
these laws has directly resulted in a
large and gratifying increase in school
attendance, and consequent decrease
in illiteracy, immortality and crime"

A Warning to American Girls.

Joseph T. Potter, our Consul at Gre
field, Germany, has been making inyes-
legations in regard to matter of great
interest to our fair country women, and
the result of his labors is to be found in
a report full of information of the most
vital interest. He has been inquiring
into the results OF marriages between
American girls and German mobiles, and
what he tells us is most startling.
In thirtv-three marriages cited there
has not not been single happy union,
but either divorce or abandonment has
speedily followed the wedding. He
finds the reason for this unhappy state
of affairs to be that the American wives
have in every instance been brutally
treated, and in some cases absolute vio-
lence has been used. The brides were
expected to perform the most menial
Offices. In one instance, the husband.
who is an officer of rank in the German
army, demanded that his wife perform
the service usually expected from
servant of the humblest sort, and one
of the things she was ordered to do was
to superintend the cleaning of his boots.
This lady was the daughter Of leading
and the story she tells is most pitiable
one. sia7
Her hard-headed father took the pre-.
caution at her marriage to settle his
daughters fortune upon her. and tied
it up in such a way that she could not
relinquish its control even if she de-
sired to do so After many humiliating
tasks had been given this lady, the boot
cleaning was required. Then she re-
belled. She drew the line there, and
with her American blood at the boiling
point she fatty refused. Her warrior
husband. who, besides his military rank,
has the title of Count, attempted to en-
force discipline in his family by using
his riding whip upon his recalcitrant
bride, and after serious time of it she
evaded the fogging and left the bed
and board of the knightly Uhlan for
her native land. Her husband could
not prevent her departure, but tried to
compel the payment of q certain sum
of money by way of salve to the
wounds his sensibility received by her
abrupt departure. He did not succeed,
for the lady had no property in the
province that could be held SO she got
away without further loss of time.

A Faithful Dog

The daily papers contain an account
ofa singular exhibition Of fidelity on
the part Of house dog, witnessed in
Stspleton, 5. l., recently. On Tuesday
morning Mrs. Walter Oicll wife OF a
merchant in thst village, died. A Scotch
terrier named Fido had been a pet OF
Mrs. Odell for twelve years. During
the two months that Mrs. Odell WA
sick Fido remained continually beside
her bed After her death tho dog per
sisted in lying beside tho coffin, Bnd
follwed the ceskct to the hearse. into
which it tried to jump. When the
funeral c1Ttcge reached the grave Fiio
WAS there, having followed tho hcarse.
Fido returned home and took up his
former position beside the bed lately
occupied BY Mrs. Odell. The dog from
that time refused to eat, and gradually
grew weak and was evidently irritated
At any efforts to disturb or feed him.
At times the animal moaned in low tone.
Two days ago Fido came a cross a pair
Of shoes that formerly belonging to Mrs
Odell and had been thrown outdoors.
These he took up in his mouth and car.
ried 10 his selfassigned post near the
bed, and placing the shoes on the floor
laid his forepaws and head across them,
in which position he remained several
hours. During Monday night Fido
reused the household by bis mournful
bowling, and at 3 o'clock on Tuesday
morning, exactly one week to an hour
after Mrs. Odell's demise, Fido sud
denly ceased his winning, looked up,
rose TO his feet, barked quickly and
waged his tail as If pleased, then in
Stantly dropped his nose on his late mis-
tress's shoes and died.
