ALL FOR ScIENcE.-A homing pigeon
has returned to civilization from
Andree's polar balloon, but to bring
the tidings with which it was freighted
has cost the noble bird its life. In.
stead OF being allowed to complete its
journey to the dove cote in the city
where the message was to have been
received, the pigeon was ruthlessly
shot by a seaman, near North Cape.
The news from the arctic explorer was
not, after all, of very startling ma
ture nor of special scientific interest.
Andree simply reports that he has
passed the sd degree of north latitude
and that the outlook was favorable.
This means that he was within eight
degrees or about 4S0 nautical miles
OF the mysterious goal to reach which
hundreds of lives have been sacrificed
by various nations. The Greeley
explorers reached much farther
northing a few years ago; the Ameri.
can flag having been unfurled to the

the parallel of 50 deg "a min., O,

Again in the Harness.

The friends OF Professor f. Benja-
min Andrews, late President of Brown
University, are determined that the
valuable services Of that ripe scholar
shall not be lost to the world through
the complications of political disagree
mcnt. 1t will lie remembered that
he nobly rendered his resignation as
President of the above institution, q
few days ago, rather than he held in,
by bit and bride, in the expression OF
his views on the silver question
Mr.. John Brisbane Walker, u New
York journalist and millionaire, now
comes forward and generously ten
ders e. Professor Andrews the presi-
dency of his newly launched educa-
tional venture, the Cosmopolitan
University. Professor Andrews has
consented to take charge of the in
stitution and active work will be COM
menced Immediately with a compe-
tent corps of assistants.
The novel character of the new
university has already established
for it a widely extended and favorable
reputation. AS Mr.. Walker states his
ideas, the school will be a popular
college, modelled somewhat after the
Chautauquan mo, cment; its work
being conducted on the correspond
ence and advisory plan. Hundreds of
men and women throughout the
country who have neglected their
earlier opportunities will be thereby en-
abled to profitably and pleasantly pur-
sue such courses of studies as their
station and calling may render the
most desirable.
AS has already been intimated, in
struction will be wholly given by cor
respondence. Students will pursue
the lectures of the various professors
comprising the faculty, instead of
listening to them in the classroom,
and they will read the answers to their
questions with sue h hints and sug-
gestions as will best subscrve their
wants in every department of the col
lege curriculum. The President and
his assistants will be aided by an adj
visory board of ten scholars and
scientists drawn from the best ma
terial of the day.

Count Against Prince.

All Europe is moved over the late
sword contest between the Prince Of
Orleans and the Count of Turin. A
newspaper article written by the
prince, rather sharply criticising some
oi the army officers of Italy, caused
bad blood to coagulatc between the
two noblemen. They fought out theil
difficulty in Paris, and the encounter
ended in favor of the count, the
prince having received serious
sword-thrust in the abdomen while
his adversary was only slightly wound.
ed in his hand.
The princes spirits are not, how
ever, overcome by bodily suffering
His zeal and proves, though produc.
tive of physical pain, have placed him
in Rapport with the people of France
and with that volatile people it affords
long step towards realization of his
ambition to mount the throne. He
has caught the eye of the people, and
every pang that racks his frame
softens the popular heart towards him
as a possible sovereign. The true
cause of the duel was the princes al.
lance with the King of Abyssinia
who whipped the Italians last year
and the criticisms were but the pre-.
text for an attempt at his life.
Paris and Rome are in frenzy OF
excitement over the affair; the one
capital city deploring the dangerous
condition of the prince, and the other
being wildly jubilant over the success
of the kings nephew. When the
news reached Rome, the eternal city
was moved to far greater extent
than when Paul went there to preach
the Christian religion to a people
sunk in heathenism. Bells were rune
and an ovation was rendered to the
count in honor of his proves and
skill.
And now, his Holiness, the Pope
steps in and threatens to excommuni.

OF the Catholic church. This means

A NOVEL warfare has been opened
between the towns OF Fulton and Rock
Island, ILL.,, over the location of the
headquarters of the order of Modern
Woodmen of America. 1t seems that
at late convention of the order,
held at Dubuque, Iowa, proposition
of the Rock Island people to donate a
building for the officers of the order
was accepted, and instruction given
the Head Clerk to remove the ar
chives of the order to that town. A
temporary injunction was issued by
the court, whereupon Rock islanders
to the number of SIS, chartered a
train and went to Fulton to remove
the Office by force. They were met
by an excited mob and a pitched
battle ensued. The scrimmage lasted
an hour or more, and 30 or 35 partici-
pants were wounded, some of them
fatally.
