 A@ ooDRow WILSON, president WV of Princeton college, delivered
 w a lecture on Universities and the National Life" in Association hall last night. which is the first of a series that will be given under the auspices of the Princeton club. He said:
 ''The subject is so broad in it's relation that the term national life must be de- fined. A singular and vital thing of the United States is that it requires every thing of it's citizens. Every man must be ready to do service that In other coun- tries only certain men of certain classes are called upon to do. This Is the country that the university must serve, each after it's own kind. I can see that the nature of their patriotism Is that of the friend ship kind, like the friend who serves his friends whom he knows best. And 1t is the same of the country. That is true pa triotism.
 "The character of this country can be set forth in different ways. One thing that our raee-the English race-is proud of. is not so much its achievements as the motives of these achievements. That has been the common welfare, the friend ly- cooperation, the good relationship. So the heart of men has expanded. We have realized that the government was for the common government. for all. Therefore. no man could call himself noble who has not stood In his neighbours s place, as he would as friend to friend.
 Then the methods of these achieve ments have been those of voluntary CO., operation. We have not been told by the government what to do. but it has been left to each individual to decide. The great thing Is our power and facility In combination, in common interest There Is the instinct of cooperation and order ly action that exists In no other race. This is really the political instinct when we come down to the last analysis It is not only that but the leading word in all our work is public spirit.

TO THE FENCED oENTlAN.

By William Cullen Bryant Thou blossom bright with autumn dew, And colored with the heavens own blue, That openest when the quiet light Succeeds the keen and frosty night, Thou comest not when violets lean Der wandering brooks and springs un-
 seen.
 Or columbines. in purple dressed. Nod OCT the ground-bird's hidden nest Thou waitest late and comest alone, When woods are bare and birds arc
 flown,
 And frosts and shortening days portend The aged year is near his end. Then doth thy sweet and quiet eye Look through its fringes to the sky, Blue-blue--as if that sky let fall A flower from its cerulean wall. I would that thus, when shall see The hour of death draw near to me Hope blossoming within my heart May look to Heaven as I depart.

Great Educational Work.

Speaking of the summer school of the south, an official of the University of Tennessee said:
 We will bring together next summer in Knoxville q faculty of about 100 in- struotors and lecturers which has never been equalled before in this country for scholarship and skill in teaching We have drawn upon the faculties of all the great universities and have usually se- cured their best This faculty cost us over s15OOO. and we are giving their services to southern teachers free of charge for tuition.
 This school is one phase of the south ern education campaign and we feel thus that we have a right to appeal to the newspapers to make 1t known to the teachers. The University of Tennessee is giving everything it has to the cause, the people of Knoxville have subscribed $l0,oO0 and the general education board an equal amount. It is all for the benefit of the teachers of the south"

The Impossible Frenchman.

TAre Is certain Frenchman who Is
never met with beyond the borders OF
stageland. If found in France, he would
probably be put in irons as a dangerous
lunatic. He gets himself up like a Jack-in-
the-Green, poses and attitudinizes like b
man afflicted with st. Vitus' dance, and
speaks language peculiar to himself His
presence Is rarely If ever, Justified some
times he Is progressively polite, at others
mysteriously super-subtle. He periodically
emits remarks about "perfidious Albion"
like reptile ejecting venom, usually apro-
pos Of nothing and to nobody's apparent
concern. He frets his little hour and goes
out like damp squib.
Stage sailors are continually "hoisting
their slacks;" sea sailors rarely do so. The
former are, therefore, interesting, If only
on account of this popularity. They are al
ways employing extravagant oaths, talking
contemptuously of '1and-lubbers," and
they can take con board" In fact, nearly
every other word they utter has some refer
ence to Shop"
However morally bad they may be them
selves, they always stand up strenuously
for virtue. and they will forego a great
deal Of pleasure to get zone in at the
villain. It matters nothing that the latter
has no personal difference with them-they
will do 1t on principle. Altogether, they
are tolerable, sometimes amusing.
some Nu1SanceS.
Frankly. the sisters of the music halls
are an incorporating nuisance, and the
Juvenile artistic might be placed in the
same category. The former are usually
remarkable only for their facility in muir
dering the kings English and destroying
harmony. for their innuendo or blatant in
decency. This. with whirling skirts
and obtrusive calves, is poor substi-
tute for ability. In the case of the serio
1t is much the same thing, except some
times more so. No doubt, some Juvenile
performers are. taking age into considera-
ton, rather clever; but 1t is the kind Of
cleverneSs that Is best confined to the nur-
sery.
The miser of melodrama Is a remarkable
parsonage. He Is usually very painstaking
in making 1t apparent to those most in
terested that he has an abundance Of port
one of the simplest things in life with the
aid Of little violence. to obtain possession
Of 1t. He will wander about In his shirt
sleeves, hugging his gold, and snarling and
swapping at all and sundry like dog with
rabies. He usually dies as he has lived,
miserabiy, and everybody feels satisfied
that It serves him right.
There are many other stage characters
equally remarkable in their way and in
comparison with real life. These include
the lawyer who frames special laws for
kee. too willy for words, usually found in
the purlieus Of musical comedy: the pert
servant girl. the turnkey. the weeping and
the garrulous old woman. It is a very dis
torted mirror in which such creatures can
be seen reflected.
