and third in excellence as debaters. A peculiarity about this event is that the
 competitors who have been selected
 from all the candidates, at prelimi- nary trial, do not know until a few
 hours before the final debate in what
 order they will speak or which side of
 the question they will maintain. This is decided by lot.
 In Dr. Woolsey's Historical Dis course" delivered at our semi-centen- nial anniversary in 1874, occurs the fol- lowing passage: "I must aver the opin- ion that, if the school should be greatly
 enlarged and be put upon permanent
 basis of strength, increased accommo-
 dation, somewhere in a central spot not
 far from the courts, would be found es- sential'
 In the early part of the year 1891 the governing board of the school came to
 the conclusion that the time had come to arrange for building of our own, adapted to our existing and prospective means. Thereupon it remained to as-
 sure the Corporation of the University that if they would furnish desirable
 site we would engage that funds should be forthcoming for the erection of 8
 suitable building. The Corporation promptly acceded to our request, and in June, 1891, purchased a lot on the north side of Elm street, fronting the Green
 and midway between Temple and Col lege streets.
 An appeal to the alumni and friends
 of the University and of the Law school for subscriptions to the building fund met with a speedy and liberal response.

One of the most agreeable incidents of this feature of our work was the readi- ness wit h which the business men of New Haven rallied to the relief of purely professional school. They might have said, and not without some slight show of reason: We are already cursed with a congestion of lawyers and do not care to aid in increasing the number" On the contrary, they said in effect: If we must have lawyers let them be of the best, we'll equipped for their work, and taught, above all, to be honorable and minded gentlemen" It is most gratifying to me to remember that in several cases they gave two or three times and in one instance five times as much as was asked.
 Our first substantial encouragement came from J. w. Hendrie, of the class of 1851. well recall the day when, ac- companied by his classmate, the Rev. Dr. Munger, called upon him to solicit his aid. He heard our presentation of our case without comment or question, and replied: II will give you $5,0O0; you shall have my check for that sum be- fore you go." The entire amount given by MT. Hendrie reached the sum of $65, ,0O0. Dying in 1900. he did not live to see the completion of the building, but the name of "Hendrie Hall," which it bears, will perpetuate, to future gener- ations of alumni the memory of his mu- nificence.
 The next largest contribution-$15 ,00G was from Henry Fowler English (Y L. S. 1S74). whose father, ex-GovernoI English, had, in 1873, established li- brarY fund of $10,OO0. His full lengtl

Gently added another important and valu-
able discovery to his long list OF practical
Inventions His latest Is a preservative
fluid which keeps cut flowers In bloom
or bud, without change or injury, for an
indefinite period when submerged In It.
On Deoamber I'd DR.. Gregory had on
exhibition full blown pnks and roses In
bud, which were submerged In the fluid
october I'd. and they were as fresh and
perfect as on the day they were cut;
manned unchanged. Exposure to the at
mosphere sesmed to make no difference.
DR.. Gregory says that In former tests
with the fluid, preserved flowers. he
has found that they keep fresh and frag-
rant longer than the fresh cut flower,
not whitening or dropping their petals
and leaves as soon as those just cut
In plain water, for the reason that they
absorb sufficient quantity Of the pre-
scrvative agents to prolong life In the

To Boom Virginia Lands.

The Times Dispatch, believing In the
possibilities and potentiallties of old V1r-
gnia, Is in hearty sympathy with the
proposed effort Of the real estate own
ers and tho agents Of owners to boom
Virginia realty. We have long contended
that Virginia and Vrginians were not
sufficiently aliv,s to the Importance Of
advertising to the world the advantages
that all of us know We possess. We know
what we have and we know that Virginia
lands offer wealth to those who would
develop them to thor capacity. but 1t
must be admitted that we have not been
as diligent as we might have been In
letting the world know what We know
along these lines.
In this connection, 1t may be worthy
of mention that within the past two
weeks the business men of Philadel'
phia have raised. without very prodiglous
effort, the sum of 100000 to be used
in advertising the advantages Of the
region surrounding Philadelphia. This
money is to be used in newspaper and
pamphlet advertising, and to be used ~
once. Tho fund was readily raised BY
the contributions Of wholesale and retail
merchants. jobbcrs, market men, Tea
estate agents, bankers, ETC.. and the tunc
is already accomplishing results.

uttemost parts Of tho State. and "

TROPHIES Of the War.

| l Va SkA$ " SAs
A Washington correspondent OF the
New York Tribune. describing the gun
factory at washington, says that IN
huge semi.circie at the rear Of the adj
ministration building there are arranged
many trophies Of the Civil War one
of the most interesting Of these, no
thinks Is gun used In the famous en-
Engement between the onfederate IRON
clad Merrimac (virglnia) and tho United
states frigates Cumberland and Con-
gress, March S, 1862, when the chase Of
the guns muzzle was shot off. The gun
els, severely marked BY the efforts Of
the United States troops to spike the
piece before 1t fell into the hands Of tho
Confcderates Its bore Is about nine
inches, and was not rifled."
The correspondent quoted also says that
upon one Of the buildings in the yard
foresaid is the following inscription
''1vlthin This Wall is Deposited the Leg
OF Colonel Uric Dahlgren, U. 8. W,
wounded July 6, 1868, While slsirmishing
in the Streets of Hagerstown, After inc
Battle Of Gettysburg.
The explanation Of this Is that when
Dahlgren's leg was ampttated the person
who was in command Of the navy YARD
had the severed limb sepulchrcd there.
The popular impression in Washington IS
that Admiral Dahlgren, the father Of the
Colonel, had the leg thus Embedded IN
the wall, but daughter Of the Admiral $
has published card denying that. she
says the family does not know, by whom
that disposition OF the amputnted limb
was made.
Colonel Dahlgren recovered sufficiently
to return to the army and to lead brl-
sade In the daring raid towards Richmond,
intended to kill President Davis and his
Cabinet. to burn tho city and liberate the
Federal prisoners held here. Defeated
on the suburbs of the city and forced to
fly, Dahlgren was ambushed and killed
iii King and Queen county Upon his
person were found papers fully disclosing
the cruel plans Of the raiders.
The wooden leg that he wore passed
through various hallds.-and we might say
was worn on various legs-but shortly
a fter the war, If memory serves us well,
ii was somewhat forcibly reclaimed by
members Of the Dahlgren family.
What the correspondent says about the
marks on the "Merrimacs (VirGinia's)
gun is correct, we suspect When the Fed
erals evacuated the Norfolk navy yard In
1861 they attempted to destroy every
thing they could not carry off. Quite
likely this was one Of the guns they
spiked, or attempted to spike.
When Norfolk and Yorktown were
evacuated by the Confederates in May,
1862, greatly to the distress Of the people,
the Virginia was abandoned and burned
by her officers and crew. 1t was be-
lieved that she was unseaworthy, and
therefore, could not run out Of the Capes
| and that her draft Of water was toe
great to allow her to be steamed up the
James River more than short distance
So an end was put to her near CraneS
Island. In the course Of time the Fed
eral government employed wreckers t
save some Of her most valuable parts A:
