he said cheerfully. Then he turned
over and resumed his nap.
Another man who must have drunk
the cup of disappointment to the dregs
was James G. Blaine. He was a man
of such consummate tact and mental
eQuipoise that he made a better show
of concealing his incurable hurt than
did Henry Clay, whom he resembIed in
more ways than one. In the convention
of 1876, in spite of Robert G. IngersolPs
eloquence and the famous "plumed
knight" incident, Rutherford B. Hayes
received the nomination. Before the
decisive vote had been formally an
nounced Mr.. Blaine had written his
note of congratulation to the nominee
and had made tender of his services
during the campaign But the most
cruel strain upon his mental resources
must have come when, the nomination

support of his party. On the day after
election he received the following mes
sage from William Walter Phelps: TOO
bad. Are you fairly well?" Mr.. Blaine
answered, Never better in my life"
Altogether, the most tragic episode in
the history of presidential contests was
furnished by the candidacy of Horace
Greeley. It is the sad testimony of
those best acquainted with the great
editor and with the details of that har-
assing canvass that the talented mans
rude awakening, although it must have
been gradual and not precipitated in
one crushing denouement. contributed
to his speedy and final mental and
physical downfall.

tution's cosmopolitan character has
faithfully been maintained.
The school was first called Kings

the site or which the first college build
ing was erected. 1t was a condition in
the royal charter that the president
must be communicate of the Episco-
pal church and that selections from the
liturgy of that communion should all
ways form a part of the daily religious
service. This was the cause of much
heated discussion. and after the Revo-
luton it was stricken out of the char
ter, but remains as condition of the
deed of gift from Trinity church.
The college suffered many reverses
during the Revolutionary war. 1t was
finally obliged to suspend, and in IT'S
the building was converted into mill
tary hospital. After eight years of in
activity the educational work was re-
sumed in pursuance of an act of the
legislature, the institution, in accord
ance with the changes which had taken
place, becoming Columbia college. In
1857 the college was moved from the
original site-which became later the
block bounded by College place. Bar

and Fiftieth streets. Here it remained
until 1897. Five years previous to that
time purchase OF a plot of land con-
tanning seventeen and half acres had
been made with the intention of erect-
ing suitable college buildings thereon.
This land was situated on Amsterdam

in 1897 the institution was reorganized
on the basis of a university.

viii give a final reception and banquet.
The great university which today oc-
cuptes commanding position on
Morningside heights, New York. may
boast of a beginning antedating by
many years the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. The subject of it's establish
ment was agitated in the colony for at
least fifty years before any actual step
was taken toward its accomplishment.
Finally in 1746 provision was made by
law whereby money for the purpose
could be raised by a series of public
lotteries. After five years the proceeds
of these lotteries amounted to the mu-
nificent sum of S1,7oO, which was hand
ed over to the trustees. Because two
thirds of these trustees were members
of the Church of England and some of
them were vestrymen of Trinity church
much powerful opposition arose, and
the project languished. The friends of
the enterprise did not abandon 1t, how
ever and the college was opened in
1854 in a house belonging to Trinity
church. The Rev. DR.. Samuel Johnson
of Stratford, Conn, was the first pres
ident. and there were eight matricu-
lants.
The original charter, which was
granted by George H., was so con-
structed that it quoted for a time the
opposition which had arisen among the
various denominations which had been
left out of the original PLAN. BY its
provisions it's board of governors was
made to include not only the rector of
Trinity church, but the senior minister
of the Dutch Reformed, Ancient Lu-
theran, French and Presbyterian
churches. 1t is owing to this fact that
Columbia is the only one out of all the
pre- Revoiutionary colleges in the Unit
al SfafaC that od a fhnn1nc-
ical faculty connected with it. Some of
the present trustees are Episcopalians
and some of them belong to the Dutch
Reformed church. There is also a
Presbyterian member of the board, and
another is Roman Catholic. A prom

Tbe Wonderful Preparedness Of the Japanese Nafio,

binary foresight and adaptability shown
by this unique people may be cited the
readiness and ease with which the land
forces made the passage of the rivers.
Every point in the detail of these often
perilous undertakings vas worked out
to it's most definite finish long before
the army set foot on Asian soil. It
seems incredible, but it is fact new
ertheless, that the material for making
the bridge across the Taltse at Lao
yang was ready to put in place many
weeks before it was needed. Much of
it, indeed, was brought over to the
mainland when the army of invasion
landed.
This bridge was a work which illus
trates admirably the depth and effec-
tiveness of Japanese resources. 1t was
made of boats separable into sections
so carefully fashioned that they could
be put into a harmonious whole with
surprising quickness. The exact loca-
ton of the crossing was determined be-
fore the embarkation of the army for
! Korea and there was consequently
neither lack nor oversupply of material.
The sections were, so small and the
wood of which they were constructed
was so light that they were easily
moved about and did not even require
ponies to transport them. Two men,
with a section strung upon pole, could
carry it without great fatigue, only
hating now and then to shift the ends
of the pole from one shoulder to the
other.
On arriving at the river the sections
were fastened together with bolts, and
the completed boats were ranged in
line, each in its turn being anchored
firmly alongside its fellow. In parts OF
the stream where the current was
strong the weight of the anchors was
greatly increased and the connecting
bolts were doubled. Planks were laid
lengthwise across this firmly anchored
foundation of wineries, and the struc-
ture was ready for use. 1t could be
taken apart and put into it's sectional
form in less than twenty minutes.
