The Board of Directors met on Octo-

l. The discrepancy between the report
of Board, as recorded and as printed in
the Minutes of the Az ably, was found
to be the error of the secretary.
2 The appointment of Rev. DR.. E. L..
Patton as provisional tutor in Hebrew
was commended, and he was requested
to give instruction also in Greek.
3. DR.. Mack declined to act as fnan-
cial agent during 1886, as the continued
agitation had prevented the raising of
funds from being a success.
4. Rev. DR.. Girardeau rendered his
resignation, to take effect at the close of
the present session. The Board, by a
committee, urged him to withraw it, but
he declined. The matter was postponed
until the next meeting with the hope that
In the meantime he might be induced to
withdraw his resignation.
5. The auditing committee reported
that DR.. Woodrow rad not been over
paid for his services in 1882, which was
adopted.

Your readers have been informed dur
ing the past few months of the death OF
two of our honored trustees, the Hon. T.
T. Tredway and Judge F. N. Watkins
Both were widely known as men of in
telligence and virtue and of pure Chris
tian character. The we're very useful
to US and will be much missed. Col. J.
P. Fitzgerald, of Farmville, has been
elected as Judge Wstkins' successor in
the treasurership. He is an alumnus of
the college and thoroughly and intelli-
gently devoted to its interests.
During the past wear, three of our
older alumni have aied; Hon. R. D.
Turnbull, of Brunswick Rev. J. L. Kirk
patrick, D. D., of Washington and Lee
University, and Prot S. o. Southall, of
the University of Virginia. Mr.. Turn
bull graduated in the class of 1928, with
the Rev. Robert Burwell, D. D., of Ra-
leigh, N. G. The only older graduate Of
the college than these known to me is
Col. Colin McRae, Of Richmond, who took
his degree in 1922, with Hon. Andrew
Hunter, Rev. Drewry Lacy, D. D., Prof.
W. N. Page, and others, as his class
mates. DR.. Kirkpatrick graduated in
1882, in class of eight. Among them
were Hon. Walter D. Leake, and Rev. F.
Jacobs, D. D. Prof Southall graduated
in 1885, in the class with our late Presi-
dent, Rev. j. M. P Atkinson, D D.
A handsome and commodious addition
has been made during the past summer
to the residence of Prof Holiday, who
at the expiration of thirty years of inval-

improvements are now under contempla-

OCTOBER 7th, 1885.
MeSSrS. ElIitOrs,-Ou session opened
on the 4th ult., with very brilliant ad-
dress to- the students by Rev. r. @. Reed,
of Charlotte, on Work. 1t was a gem of
its kind. Full of good sense and spark.
ling with wit, it produced the happiest
impression. Certainly not since my con-
nection with the college have the students
gotten 80 soon and so steadily to work,
and they appear to be keeping at it.
Doubtless we owe Mr.. Reed something
for this.
Another most pleasant incident of our
opening was the presence of Prof. Addi.
son Hoge, who after two years absence in
Europe, looked fresh for work and glad
to be back amid old and congenial scenes.
His students will greatly profit by the
extended period of study and observation
spent by him abroad. Greek is one OF
the marked features of our institution,
a much larger proportion of our students
taking it than is common in some other
of our Virginia schools Besides his class
room work, Prof. Hoge has consented to
give in the college, beginning tomorrow
evening and continuing weekly, a course
Of Readings from Homer, the fruit OF
very mature study. These lectures will
be Of popular character and will be
open to the public. Prof Walter Blair
will give a similar course on Antiquity
after Christmas.
There are at present one hundred and
ten students on our rolls, which is Just
about the number at this time of last
year. OF these, II are from Virginia
q from West Virginia from Texas
and the rest from North Carolina, South

A Big Attraction.

Among the many features TO be seen in
the museum of Frank A. Robbins New
Show, which will exhibit here on Thursday
September Gath, is Aimee, the Tatooed Lady
She is in fact living artgallery, there being
no less than 700 different objects wrought
in red and blue ink upon her fair skin
They resemble all sorts of beasts, designs
aud secret -emblems. Mile. Aimee has Il
remarkable history, having been born in the
ancient city, St Augustine, Florida, where
she was society lady much sought after by
the elite of the city. Her father, who was
sea captain, had mania for tatooing and
had compelled his sailors TO endure the most
fearful torture to satisfy his morbid desire
On one OF his voyages TO the Pacific Ocean
his wife and beautiful daughter accompanied
him. His vessel was captured by the South
Sea Islanders, who, when they saw the
wonderful marks upon the bodies of tho
crew, and learned that the captain was the
author of the strange devise, insisted upon
his tatooing his own wife and daughter
His wife could not endure the fearful torture
and yielded up her life. Mile. Aimee being
young and in the first bloom of woman
hood, bore the terrible ordeal with so niue h
bravery that she impressed even the savag
brutes TO such an extent that after she had
recovered they granted herself and father
their liberty. To complete the seven hun
dred different pictures which are upon her
body required the skin to be punctured over
three millions octimes and two years OF labor.
Mr. Robbins, at great expense, engaged this
wonderful example of human endurance, and
she will be on exhibition at each perform
ance. She is a remarkably handsome and
intelligent lady, and is always pleased to
converse with her visitors and relate hel
wonderful story.

Nearly all of the counties of the State
have nominated their delegates to the DEM
ocratic State Convention on the 10th in
slant and their county ticket. All of this
work has been completed without jar, ex-
cepting in Anne Arundel and Allegany
counties. In the former the opposing fac
tons were headed by DIR. Wells and Michael
Bannon. So bitter were these factions that
at the primary in the eighth district a Ban
non man shot and wounded Wells man
in the face, though not fatally. DIR. Wells
secured control of the convention and car.
red the day. In Allegany the factions were
divided into canal and anti-canal. The anti.
canal faction, headed by ex-Congressman
VIM. Walsh, withdrew from the convention
and nominated State delegates, who will
contest the right of a seat in the convention
In opposition to the canal delegation.
Without an exception all the counties
have signfied desire to have Mr.. Turner
re nominated for the COMPREHENSIVE and
Mr.. Jones for the Clerk of the Court of APP
peals.

degrading and disheartening letters of social
distinction and advantages, to bid it walk
abroad through the free creation in its own
majesty, to war against all fraud, oppression
and violence by striking at their root, to re-
form the infinitely varied human misery
which has grown out of the old and false
ideas by which we have so long been mis-
governed, to spike the cannon, bury the
bayonet and substitute harmony among all
classes of the community. This is the phi
losophy of the Democracy.
These ideas lead us TO the conclusion that
the Democratic cause is one which not
only ought TO engage the whole mind Of
the American nation, without any serious
division of its energies, to carry forward the
noble mission entrusted 10 it, remaining be-
fore the nations of the world as the repre-
sentative principle, and as the constant liv-
ing examplar of its results, but which
ought peculiarly TO commend itself to the
generosity of youth, its ardent aspirations
after the good and beautiful, its liberal and
unselfsh freedom from the narrow prejudice
of interest
