From an old Student, to the Hine
 mon University School.

Being former student of that well known school, will write few brief lines to the students and ask for it's publication in the MoN- TIcELLoNIAN, if it does not meet with the waste basket.
 School mates, 1 would have ask ed you for q short space in your magazine but the fact that abler pens may develop thoughts far greater to be placed upon it's pages, have constrained me to re- sist my first impulse. Fain would l persue each copy of your splend- i'd magazine. No doubt can be had that you have sent fourth the richest thoughts of the age and will soon be blooming on countless pages. Europe's greatest writers may one day be glad to quote from your fowery pens. Millions who stand on the loftie pinnacle of fame many stand with out stretched bands, eager to grasp your work.
 The pen has ever been the gold. en medium through which thoughts and deeds are transmit ted down the stream of time and proclaimed 10 posterity. The tones of ancient lore still exert silent, yet potent influence during our present time. Such being the case, no sane man, reasoning from any standpoint whatever, can deny that the press will play an important part, in shaping and controlling of the next generation.
 Then school mates, let us press upon you, who are preparing to make the most of life, that if you would elevate humanity and exert an influence that shall be felt and shall bless, swhen favorites of fame are forgotten" you must make known and preserve the thoughts of your mind, by use of the pen. It befits you to write something. Lord Bacon has truly said, "writ- ing maketh an exact man. you cannot well afford to neglect this important phase of your educa tion. Crystalize your purest and noblest thoughts upon paper, and thus, "Honor the proud by which mind speaks to mind and heart to heart"
 If you wish to make your exer- tions in behalf of progress felt, you must write, for however swift ly ''the agents of modern pro gress'' move the pen must pave the way.
 ''Busy pen, proud Commerce filings,
 Her wealth abroad on countless wings,
 And Scinee opes her thousand springs,
 Guided by works of thine.'
 Then learn to use this great motor of civaliztion, by contri- outing to the columns ofyour mag azine, productions that are pure and thoughts that are noble. 1 hope that you will all realize the importance of writing and be stow a good portion of your time in that way. While the student k prosecuting his studies in the diff eront branches of science, mathe | matics, etc., he should not forge 3 to give equal time to writing.
 Dear schcol mates, though

Jacks fired two shots with pistol; one striking the wrist and the other the hip of Devine. The wounds are not fatal. Jacks made his cs- cape.

reading. All occasions of mixing with society l absolutely reject. Society and its youthful actors no loger claim me as an admirer. 1 often eni joy the sweet converse of my parents, l find much to be gained by listening to their pro. found thoughts. Nothing is more gratifying to me than when I am too tired of studying, to join them Tn another room and hear thelr discourse en the decline of Amer, lca's liberty. Proud America. My object ln studying now, k when another session has been opened, 1 may be able to join some college in Virginia.
 Young men of the South. now is the time tor you to secure an ean- cation. The cries ot sad war are too strong. The poor must brave the rich. Only few more years at most and you must he an exile to another hand. The closing years of the nineteenth century will surely bring on the necessity of bnckling on your napsacks and hastoning to the battle ground. Our country will need such heroes as are willing to brave the dan gers of moral battle-tields and m. hinchingly face the livlng issues ot the day.
 Must the name ef freedom be lost? No, no. Guard your liberty and protect your rights. Guard it, defend it; send mp tar it your pray CTS, if need be, sacrifice for it your lives. Prepare for the con tlct.
 Many young soldier will bid farewell to his native home and to his weeping parents, and never return; on the battle field his grave will be. The only comforting thought to the aged ones left be- hind will be that their beloved son, fell fighting for his liberty Many poor soldier to-day, lie wrapped in the silent dust of ob livion.
 The music of the drum sounds sweet to young soldiers but when they are forced to face the flying bullets, and see the prostrate forms drifting into mighty gulf through which runs Il toamihg torrent Of fraternal blood, their aching and quivering hearts long freedom and q sweet rest at home. Peace, peace, Q let 1t be!
 Atew more words to the stud ents and l am through. l hope that when you all read these llnes you will think of the one who wrote them
 Dear teachers and school-mates, the fact that shall ever see you all again IS rather precarlous, but l hope that none ot you will ever be an exile to that forgotten shore. While l am gone, remember me, and If we never meet on earth again, o may we meet on that beautiful shore.

Reparation for injuries to the Englisl
police is of course mere excuse, if th
report is correct; nations do not seek re
dress for such injuries by at once threat
ening military reprisals. They begin b,
diplomatic representations.
The Belgians some time ago hanged ;
British subject with scarcely the formalit,
of drum-head court-martial, but Eng
land has not yet threatened Belgium will
armed invasion.
The real point in Venezuela is the dis
puted territory. There is not foot O.
land west of the Essequibo river to which
England has an undisputed title in law
and by historical evidence; yet she ha.
gradually pushed forward her boundary
beyond that river until she has seized from
Venezuela territory as
Large As the State of New York.
If ever there was proper case for arbi
tration it is this. But England thus ia,
has declined arbitration and has kent
steadily on Selling land in Venezuela.
The possession of all this land, if reports
are correct she now proposes to confirms
by military invasion and the use of force.
Such action involving forcibe acquisi.
ton of new territory is gross violation
of the Monroe doctrine. and direct and
wanton attack on the United States.
The English say that they cannot rccog-
nize the Monroe doctrine; that it is not
international law. That is true enough.
The independence of the United States
was not q principle of international law.
but it is fact which we made England
recognize.
The Monroe doctrine involves the posi-.
ton, influence and supremacy of the
United States in the Americas Those
are facts which must be recognized II
England can disregard them, other ma
tons will do the same, and in "a short
time we will be surrounded by European
dependencies.
Our Past Action.
We forced France to evacuate Mexico.
We cannot permit England to occupy
Venezuelan territory. If we allow Eng.
land to land troops and invade Venezuela
and hold new territory, we abandon our
rights and our duties and our we'll es
tablished position in the western bemi.
sphere, and sink in the scale of nations.
To this, in my opinion, the American
people will never submit. If England
thinks they will, England is grievously in
error.
cannot imagine that Lord Salisburv's
government desires to force war on the
United States, but the policy it has an
nounced can have no other result if per-
sisted in. The appearance of British
fleets and armies for the conquest of
American territory anywhere will bring
on war with the United States, for the
American people will never allow such
action on the part of any foreign power,
and ought not to do so.
1t is said that President Cleveland has
already sent vigorous dispatch to Eng
land in regard to Venezuela If he has
done so he will have the cordial support
of Americans of all political parties. The
president and congress, Republicans and
Democrats, will be united in resisting at
any cost any seizure or armed invasion of
any American territory, such as is now an.
parently proposed by England with refer
ence to Venezuela.
