pass at least two more courts before he is
clear of the charge Of 'theterodoxy."
The origin Of this mixed system of
trials Is curious. In 177S Phillips acad-
eray was established by Samuel and John
Phillips and successive foundations of
theology" have been added by others,
the conditions varying. Some Of the
latest donations were made on the express
condition that a common standard of
faith should be agreed on; but as the
first provided that the Westminster Con-
fession should be the standard, and others
did not, an ambiguity arose. The result
may be briefly summed up in this gov
erning provis0; That the board Of visitors
should try all cases; but in certain con
tingencies there should be an appeal to
the civil courts, especially on purely legal
questions and the making up Of the
record. In Professor Smyth's case it may
bo stated thus: The state court decides
on the proper presentation Of the case,
and then the board Of visitors try it.
Professor Snyth's alleged 'haterodoxy"
consisted in various teachings, but the
one mainly attacked was his insistence

What in past years has annoyed the
Prince has been the slavish imitation Of
his dress affected by the mashers and
dudes, more especially the latter. who are
Of American birth. Last year he took eff
fectual means for putting a stop to this
folly. Immediately ON his arrival the old
order of things prevailed. The cut Of his
coat, the pattern Of his waistcoat, the
shade Of his necktie, were sedulously
copied. Then a happy idea occurred to
the Prince. He ordered from some un-
known source hideous suit of dirty,
blanket -hued tweed He put on a red
shirt with blue collar wore soft felt

Nashville seems to have monopoly Of
southern universities. On its outskirts
are located Vanderbilt, Fisk and a
Baptist Theological institute. The Van
derbilt university was founded in 1878 by
Cornelius Vanderbilt. Up to the present
time the Vanderbilt family have given
81 400, 900 in cash TO this school The
grounds comprise seventy-six acres. and
are unsurpassed in beauty. It is a preat
park Of magnolia, catalpa and other
lowering trees. The university IS divided
into seven branches. with splendid struc-
lures for each branch of study. While
the university is non-sectarian in char
acter Of instruction, it is operated under
the auspices Of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
The Fisk university, for the education
exclusively of colored men, was estab-
lished in 1866 under the auspices Of the
American Missionary society of New
York and the Western Freedman's Aid
commission Of Cincinnati. This institu-
tion is housed in two magnificent struc-
lures. It is operated as a university and
has educated q great many missionaries
for special work in Africa One Of the
buildings, Jubilee hall, was erected at q
cost Of $500, 900 by funds raised by the
celebrated band Of Fisk jubilee singers,
who made concert tour around the
world several years ago. Nashville is
doing more for the education of colored
people than any other place in the world
The University of Nashville is the old
est institution Of learning in the south.
1t was chartered by the legislature of
North Carolina in 1884. and has been an
important educator continuously ever
since. Beside, there are half dozen
other large schools, q state school for the

Ger grievous wounds his sins had made
At length came Doubt a tempter bold.
