Tuition Free.
Cor. state Chronicle
An impression seems TO ev;st -
some quarters that large amount of
tree tuition is given at the University
and that the denominational COLLEGES
are greatly damaged thereby. The
facts are, as follows:
Until 1887 each county in the State
could send one student free of charge
Tor tuition; but the l. Legislature of 8S7
repealed that law, and gave the Uni
yersity power to confer free tuition
only on the following classes of youpo
men:
| The sons Of ministers
2 Candidates for the ministry.
Cripples and deformed boys.
4 Young men intending to teach.
The free tuition given by The State
At the University is given only to these
classes. There is no other State aid

The University, like most educa-

Liberia, in Africa, has neither clock
nor timepiece of any sort. THE reckon
ing of time is made entirely by the
movement and position of the sun,
which rises at six a. m. and sets at six

The islanders of the South Pacific
have no clocks, but have curious time
marker of their own. They take the
kernels from the nuts of the candle

rib of palm leaf. The first or top
kernel is then lighted.
All of the kernels are Of the same size

Jury it was q river of considerable size,
upon which vessels Were Hoated as far
as historic Bladensburg, five miles
northeast of the capital city. The navy
yard is located at the junction of this
eastern branch with the main body of
the Potomac. The water is shoal, shoal-
ing constantly, and becoming almost
morass on account of the neglect of
congress to make appropriations for
keeping the channel clear. The eastern
branch is scarcely large enough and
deep enough to-day for navigation by
skiff; although occasionally it-rises and
floods the surrounding country.
Before the war the plant of the
Washington navy yard was an extern
sive, costly and valuable one. 1t was
famous all over the world for the skill
of it's workmen and the quality and
amount of work done there. 1t is not
generally known, but it is nevertheless
fact, that the second largest warship
ever built by the republic was con-
structed at this navy yard; the old Co
lnmbus, second in size only to the IA
nous Pennsylvania. The Columbus
was rated as a 112-gun ship of the line,
but she carried one hundred and thirty
six guns. Tho Pennsylvania was the
largest wooden warship ever launched
in this country. and the Columbus was
but little smaller. In 1855 congress au-
thorized the construction of six new
frigates, and all of them were completed
in time to participate in our civil war.
One of them, the Minnesota, was built
and launched here in 1857, staunch
ship of the line carrying ffty-seven
guns. Another of those six frigates
was constructed at the Portsmouth
yard, and named the Merrimac. The
latter vessel was sunLen at Norfolk by
the retreating United States officers,
raised by the confederates, covered with
an iron armor, and went forth to shat
ter and sink the Minnesota, as well as
another frigate, the Congress, in Hamp-
ton Roads The Minnesota had been
considered our crack frigate, but the
work done by the confederates upon
the Merrimac revolutionized naval
warfare.
For many years this navy yard was
an important one, and there have been
as many as five thousand people en-
ployed here at one time, but not since
the war. After the commencement OF
the civil war the place was neglected
and became small affair, ceased to be
construction yard, and was turned
into a foundry, repair and ordnance
workshop. The politicians could do

nothing with it, make no capital ont Of
it, and therefore they permitted it to
die right before them, and during a
time of war, too. It is but justice to
the statesmen of that day, however, to
say that the constantly shoaling condi-
ton of the river induced them to con-
slider it useless to keep on appropriating
money to keep the channel dredged. If
the navy yard had been located at Alex
andria, originally part of the District
of Columbia, it would have been better;
for there can always be found from
twenty to thirty-five feet of water clear
up to the wharves Of Alexandria, only
five miles below US on the main channel
Of the Potomac. The original selection
of the site was a blunder But, despite
OF all the neglect, and when the other
works were permitted to cease opera
tons, the gun construction was contin-
ned. The plant for this class of work
has been for many years in a superior
