An entire new Faculty, elected in June,
1888, consisting of twelve professors,
two assistant professors and six in
structors, representing ten different
States and thirteen of the leading
Universities and Colleges of Europe
and America.
New Courses of Study opened, three:

3. Course in Chemistry.
Postgraduate courses of study have
been provided, in addition, and the
University has been opened for special
students.
Other improvements: An entire new
equipment has been secured for the Mill
tary Department, consisting of 270 cadet
rifles, accoutrements, two field-pieces of
artillery and implements, &c. the Stew

THE EXPENSES OF A STUDENT

Are extremely moderate, as will be seen:
l. About one hundred additional State
students can get appointments to cadet
ships, which, if they can pass the re-
quired examinations here, entitle them
to free tuition in the Collegiate Depart
ment. With this the total necessary
expenses of such student will amount
to $1S6 for a session of forty weeks,
including two suits uniform, board,
books, &C., but not including pocket
money or travelling expenses. Tuition
is $50 per session, hence the expenses
of other collegiate students will only

APPOINTMENTS TO STATE
SCHOLARSHIPS.

The State has established 275 free
scholarships in the College of Agricul
ture, Mechanic Arts and Sciences, the
Collegiate Department of the Univer-
sity, a number of which will be vacant
in June, 1889. County and City Super
intendents are required by law to hold
examinations on stated days in June of
each year, notice of which must be
given, and to report the applicants who
are found properly prepared, in the
order of merit, to the State Superin-
tendent. The State Superintendent
submits these lists to the Representa-
tives and Senators and they make the
appointments. Each State Representa-
tive and Senator can make two appoint
ments. uE
When the Representative and SEN
ators have made their appointments,
the President of the University may,
after the 10th of August, appoint any
young men remaining on these lists to
the vacancies still existing but these
places are vacated the following June

The mixing of these materials is
easily accomplished by spreading them

or a floor. For example, first thin
layer of acid phosphate, then cotton
seed meal scattered on it, then ground
bone or ashes, as the case may be, all in
very thin layers, then repeat, and after
the materials are all used up, shovel over
a few times thoroughly, and the mix

THE SILENT DEAD.

What hap dismays the dead' Their couch is1ow
And over it the summer grasses creep,
Or winter SHOWS enshroud II, white and deep,
Or long prevailing winds Of autumn blow.
They hear no rumor of our Joy or woe
The ways we tread are perilous and steep;
They climb no longer-free, at last to sleep
Our weariful, vext life no more to know
Do they forget their loves Of long ago,
And the glad hopes that made their glad hearts
leap?
Or the spent joys for which they used to weep,
When Love and Sorrow buffeted them sol
On US by winds Of Fate swept to and fro
Do they have pity whom no rude winds swept
How can tellf Their mystery they keep
Beneath the blossoms as beneath the snow.
And yet think. from that deep rest below,
They would be glad to rise. and love, and weep
Once more the thankless harvest field to reap
OF human Joy and pain-Iife's Whole to know.

His Lovely Innocence.

It had rained all the long. dreary day, and

bedraggled and wet, and his nice collar hung
limp adown his slender shoulders, when he

Because, grandpa, in looking over my

Are they females, tooi And if so, why are
they called 'heF" And the little lord peered
into his grandsire's face vith an anxious
eager look in his gobelin blue eyes, which
showed how great was his desire to be in
formed correctly.
''Ca away, child, you weary me-" said the
Oldham. And Little Lord Fauntleroy crept
sadly away and did not smile again even
once all the remainder of the day.-Albsny

Saloon eepers Taking Advantage of the Low
Rate Before Council Increases 1t.

There is curiosity manifested by some
as to what steps the City Council will take
regarding the higb-license law recently
passed by the Legislature. The increase
from 500 to $3.50 in the tax has caused a
sudden demand for licenses, the saloon
keepers laboring under the mistaken idea
that the new law will not go into effect be-
fore the years grant expires. Since
March 4 forty-eight licenses have been
issued, and thirteen since last Monday. 1t
is the opinion of Mayor Denny that q
license issued now will come under the
pale of the new law, if it goes into effect
before the year is ended. The increase in
revenue to the city will amount to $1,000,
but it is said that the Council will 60 little
slow in it's decisions until it is sure of the
disposition that will be made of the Curtis
board of control. Some of the council
men are opposed to throwing such large
sum of money into the hands of a
new Democratic board, but it is not be-
heved that such sentiment will influence
them to any great extent. BY some it is
thought that the high-icense bill has an
emergency clause that will enforce it i'm
mediately, but lawyers who have investi-
gated it, together with the State COnstitu-
ton, so far as itrelates to a question of this
kind, claim that such an emergency clause
as will give the law immediate force does
not exist
