ONE day last week the overseers of Har
ward University took decisive action regard
ing the faculty and the new departure of
that body in voting recently TO dispense with
the study of Greek as q requirement. Toe
overseers emphstically resolved that the re-
quirements for admission in 1885 shall be
Il lose of 1884, and that no change shall be
made until ordered by the board OF over
seers. A special committee was appointed
to consider whether the faculty has not been
infringing upon the legitimate powers of the
overseas. AS the faculty claims exclusive
jurisdiction over the college curriculum, an
interesting quarrel is pending.

UNDERGROUND TELRaRAPaY.

The Pennsylvania Legislature, through q
Senate committee, have been Investigating
the question of underground telegraphy.
The leading argument was made against the
system by Mr.. NJ. f. Olmstead, of Harris
burg. The points he made are worthy of
consideration, ss this question has been &C.
cssionslly discussed in this State. Messages
may be sent under ground, IS we'll as under
water, but the best that science has been able
to do for the underground system is TO make
il bear about the same relation 70 overhead
lines that canals do to railroads. The adj
venced methods of rapid telegrsphy can not
be operated successfully on long distances
where part of the wire is under ground.
The Hon. William Henry Rawle, OF Phils.
depths, sitting as Master in Equity, had
taken the fullest testimony of experts, and
in q recent opinion had declared that, no sat-
isfsctory method had yet been devised to sup
ercede the overhead wires. Even il they could
be operated successfully, the underground
system is so expensive as to increase the
cost of telegraphy aud prevent its use for
many OF the purposes to which it is o
ada pied. Messages sent 5000 miles under
water cost forty cents per word. From New
York to San Francisco they are sent over
head at FIVE cents per word. The overhead
lines were erected at great expense under
charter contracts of the State, which would
be violated If their removal is compelled.
The bill is therefore in conflict with the Fed
erai Constitution, which prohibits the States
from impairing such contracts. As the lines
are used for interstate commerce, their
removal or the increase OF the cost Of tel
eeraphy by this bill would violate also the
] commercial clause of the Constitution and

THE
Celebration OF the 3,337th Anniver-
sary of the Hebrew Liberation
From Bondage.

The celebration of the Hebrew holiday,
Pessch, or the Passover, began last evening.
Jewish reckning begins and ends
the days at six o'clock in the even
ing. According to the traditions
this is the 3.337th anniversary OF the
internationally KING Phsrao OF the Isrselites.
1t is estimated that there were COO, 900 fit for
war released. According to the Bible this
was only after the ten plaques had been sent
upon the Egyptian Government, which
seem TO have finally had the effect of dis
couraging the King, and as q relief
he agreed to liberste his slaves. The
last plague was the death of the first born
in every Egyptian household and among
the domestic animals of the Egyptians. The
Israelites were exempt from this disaster.
but in order TO avoid the dread insitation il
was necessary that the blood OF the Paschsl
lamb be spriDkled upon their door posts,
that the angel of death would be able 90
discriminate between them and their
task masters. The order releasing
them was so quickly made
that there was no time to make leayened
bread before preparing for the journey TO
the promised land, and so cakes Of unleav-
eDed bread were made. This explains LIS
viticus xiii, > and 6:
In the fourteenth day Of the first month at even
In the Lords Passover. And on the fifteenth day
OF the same month is the feast OF unleayened
bread unto the Lord. Seven days ye must eat I'M
leavened bread.
The first and last days of the seven re-
ferred TO are observed by sacred cere monies,
and the remaining days as any other holi-
day. There has never been q time when the
Jews bay failed to observe this holiday.

e RATION AND REPRESENTATION.

f RATION AND REPRESENTATION.
Mr.. John z. Winston, OF North Oarolins,
who is collecting Information concerning
taxation and representation, has written an
article upon the subject, in which he gives
some astonishing facts. The census OF 1880,
he says, shows that there ale l. 600. 900 peo
pie in the United States engaged in gsinful
occupations. OF these : 900 900, or seven
seventeenths OF the whole, ara engaged in
agriculture, and yet of the 400 members of
Congress two only are agriculturists. The
other great productive industry, manufac-
turing. fares but little better in representa-
ton. The eleven-seventeenth this of the popu-
lation manufacturers, sgriculturis.s, aud
those dependent Upon them owning three
fourths OF the total wealth of the Nation,
are practically without representation in the
Government, to the support Of which they
contribute 80 per cent. OF expenses; while
six seventeenths of the population-those
engaged in trade and transportation, per-
senal and professional services, owning less
than o~ne-fourth OF the Nations wealth, aud
psyipg 10 per cent. of Government expenses
have absolute control. The "a, 900 lawyers
have almost 200 times more representation
in Congress than the 100000 farmers.
Worse still, Representatives are too often but
the agents or attorneys of associated capital.

A Worthy Member of the House.

Communicated.
The House contains several members who
are deserving of more than passing mention,
prominent among whom may be named
Hon. Thomas NJ. Smith, Representative from
Warrick County. He was q soldier during
the War OF the Rebellion, and served his
country faithfully on the field. For six
months he was a. inmate of Andersonville
Prison, and in every emergency proved his
courage and fidelity. Mr.. Smith is also a
soldier of the Gross, and g. q minister OF the
gospel has added not a little to the record of
the House for morality by his walk and ex-
ample and in nearly every instance has sus-
tanned Wit credit a leading part in legisls-
ton. He is a man of family, and has
fonr children to call him father.
Mr.. Smith is a candidate for the
Superintendency of the Knightstown SOL
diers' Orphan Home, and his candidacy
combines all the essential qualities requisite
for filling the Office acceptably. The House
and Senate have almost unanimously united
in recommending him for this pl4cs, and If
ability and merit are regarded in the ap-
pointment OF a Superintendent, Mr.. Smith
will receive the place without trouble or
competition. The writer was a comreds of
Mr.. Smiths during the war aud knows him
to be eminently qualified for the position as
n gentleman, a soldier, aud a Democrat.
The best evidence of a mans worth is the
endorsement and recommendation OF his
neighbors and intimate associates. Tais sp.
prevail Mr.. Smith has in its fullest sense aud
none would rejoice more, in the event he
received this appointment, than those who
have known him longest and best.
