ROauOke College.

We publish the advertisement of Roam
oke College for the session of 1SSS-S9.
This institution of learning is steadily
making substantial progress. The self
reliance upon which it depends is The
sufest guarantee that it will continue to
grow. The President and the Board
know that they cannot fall back on the
State, as other more pretentious, but no
more worthy or successful institutions,
can do. 1t is the character of the college.
established by hard work, careful dlsci
pline and successful results, to which its
friends look for its continued growth.
Its endowment fund is increased every
year by the liberality of friends; its library
is being added to every year. until now it
has over Is 900 volumes in it. The stu
Aents who attend. go away pleased, and
become voluntary missionaries in its
behalf. A Business Department has been
added to the studies. which will make the
course that much more attractive and
profitable. 1t is an institution that de-
serves the patronage OF the people of Vir'
ginia and elsewhere, and we are glad to
know that it is receiving it. Its indepens
dence is the strongest argument why it
should be supported. and we believe the
time is not far distant when it will take
rank with the first Universities of the
country.

/. < { + & a
The following paragraph from an
eastern daily SO well characterizes the
ridiculous behavior of the upper ten''
of eastern aristocracy as to merit a Sec
ond thought. 1t reminds one of certain
characteristics of shoddy nobility,
which considers it the height of all
earthly honor and bliss to have a Euro
pean nobleman, without penny of his
own. and with debts contracted in the
sporting field or at the green table, bow
to the wealthy daughter of an American
money prince, = and buy her hand
with an empty title.
Says the New York Press
THAT gallant ornament Of the British
army. Colonel Hughes Hallett, is regis
tered at the Brevoort.
1t is unusual for New York to be hon
ored with the presence of a more pro-
nonnced black-guard, and it is only to
be regretted that he comes somewhat
between seasons, so that his welcome
may thus lose something of the warmth
and enthusiasm which would mark it
at a more socially. convenient time.
When the Duke of Marlborough visit
ed America our Anglomaniacal society
stood on its head to do him honor. His
Grace is an English wife beater-a man
who, married to the daughter Of the late
Duke of Abercorn, struck his wife with
his hand and was legally deprived of
the custody Of his children, including
the future Duke of Marlborough, at the
time when his wife procured her di-
yorc.e
But Colonel Hughes-H -Hallett has
achieved almost as admirable fame.
The story OF his exploits at a country
house some time ago is still so fresh in
the minds Of English people that the
gallant colonel no doubt finds England
q stupid place to liyein. 1t is true that
efforts are making in certain quarters
to have him received in society once
more, under the plea that his niece and
alleged victim is a woman of doubtful
character. The Archbishop of Canter-
bury only few months ago administ-
cred stinging rebuke to him when he
attempted to attend garden party at
lambeth Palace. But the sense of de-
cency that still abides even in the liber.
al minded circles in which he former
" moved has been too greatly scandal
lied to permit him to be received again.
However, he probably feels sure of a
welcome among the tuft hunters in this
republic who swallowed Marlborough
whole; and although he is not noble,
hot iry live r,f II,
should not be allowed to stand in his
way for he is quite as disreputable as
any peer Of. the realm

He Informed me that his suspicious
had first been aroused by the uneasy be-
havior Of our ponies, which had paved
the ground and snifedithe air, acting as
though wolves were prowling around.
He thereupon stretched himself fat on

slightly raised, when he had the salts
faction to see his stratagem crowned
with success inasmuch as a couple OF

then that enemies were near, he awoke

coming out in support of Harrison, and
the statement of some wild.eyed travelling
man that New York will go from &c, OOC

lished for effect, and generally can be
traced to no reliable source. This morn
