In the year 1788 the Legislature
of Georgia passed acts granting for
ty thousand acres of land to aid in
the establishment of a university.
The original design was to organize,
as far as possible, after the manner
of Oxford and Cambridge, England,
by establishing, at different times,
several independent colleges, all of
which should be under one common
government constituting the Uni
versity of Georgia In* furtburar.ee *
of this plan, Franklin College, of
the University of Georgia, was
formally inaugurated in the year
1801.
It was organized with the usual
curriculum of four years, with the
four regular classes of Freshmen,
Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. In
the early history of the college, the
Faculty were in the habit of spend

The Bridal lVine-Cup.
In 1851 there lived in a small town
in the Slate of New York the deacon
of a certain Christian church, who was
noted for his liberal qualities, who
was in the habit of giving large wine
suppers among his brotherhood of the
church, and as a general thing, the
guests would return home rather more
intoxicated than they would have been
if they had staid nt home and enjoyed
the pleasure of their own families, and
saved themselves the trouble of carry
ing the big head upon their owh shoul
ders on the following day, as was the
case. The scene which I wish to rep
resent was one of a similar kind
Upon a Christmas day of ’51—it was
the marriage of the only daughter of
the deaeon—it was a night of joy and
glee. After the marriage had been
performed, the bottles of wine were
brought forth; all present filled their
goblets full of the poisonous nectar,
except one who stood like a marble
statue. It was the bride ; while the
words were spoken from one of the
crowd, “Pledge with wine,” cried the
young and thoughtless Harry Wood;
“Pledge with wine,” ran through the
crow .
The beautiful bride grew pale; the
decisive hour had come. She pressed
her white hands together, and the
leaves of her bridal wreath trembled
on her pure brow ; her breath came
quicker, and her heart beat wilder.—
“Yes, Marion, lay aside your scruples
for this once,” said the deacon, in a
low tone, going toward his daughter.
“The company expect it; do not so
infringe upon the rules of etiquette ;
in your own home net as you please,
but in mine, for this please me.
Every eye was turned toward the
bride, for Marion’s principles were
well known. Henry had been a con-
vivialist, but of late his friends had
noticed the change in his manners—
the difference of his habits—and to
night they watchad to see, as they
sneeringly said, if he was tied down
to a woman’s opinion so soon.
Pouring a brimming goblet, they
held it with tempting smiles toward
Marion. She was very pale, though
more composed, and her hand shook
not, as, smiling back, she gracefully
accepted the crystal tempter and raised
it to her lips. But scarcely had she
done so when every one was attracted
by her piercing exclamation of “Oh
how terrible!”
“What is it?” cried one and all,
thronging together, for she had carri
ed the glass to her arm’s length, and
was fixedly regarding it as though it
was some hideous object.
“ What?"she answered, while an
inspired light shone from her eyes;
“ wait and I will tell you. I see,"
she added, slowly raising one of her
jeweled fingers at the sparkling li
quid, “ a sight that beggars all de»
scription; and yet, listen—I will
paint it for you, if I can ; it is u
lovely spot; tall mountains crowded
with verdure, rise in awful sublimi
ty around ; a river runs through,
and bright flowers grow to the
water? edge. There is a thick,
warm mist, that the sun seeks vain
ly to pierce. Trees, loftly and
beautiful, wave to the motion of the
breeze. But there a group of In
dians gather and flit to and fro with
something like sorrow upon their
dark brows, and in their midst lies
a manly form—but his dark cheek,
how deathly—his eyes wild with
the fitful fire of fever. One friend
stands beside him, I should say
Bellows, Anvils
Stock and j kneels, for see, he is'pillowing that
HILDf*. N ! 1C K FltsO*
poor head upon his breast Genius
manly bosom. The bride stood yet
upright, with quivering lip, and
tears streaming into the outward
edge of her lashes. Her beautiful
arm had lost its extension, and the
glass, with its little troubled waves,
came slowly toward the range of
her vision. She spoke again; every
lip was mute'; her voice was low,
faint, yet awfully distinct. She
still fixed her sorrowful glance upon
the wine-cup.
“ It is evening now; the great
white moon is coining up, and her
beams full gently on his forehead.
He moves not; his eyes are out of
their sockets ; dim are the piercing
glances. In vain his friend whis
pers the name of father and sister;
no soft hand and no gentle voice
bless and soothe him. His head
sinks back ; one convulsive shudder
—he is dead.”
A groan ran through the assem
bly. 'So vivid was her description,
so unearthly her look, so inspired
her manner, that what she describ
ed seemed actually to have taken
place then and there. The}- notic
ed, also, that the bridegroom had
hidden his face and was weeping.
“D.;ad !” she repeated again, her
lips quivering faster, and her voice
more broken—“and there they
scoop him a grave; and there, with
out a shroud, they lay him down
in the damp, reeking earth—the
only sou of a proud father, the idol
ized brother of a fond sister; and
he sleeps to-day in that distant
country, with no stone to mark the
spot. There he lies—my father’s
son, my own twin-brother, a victim
of this deadly poison! “Father,”
she exclaimed, turning suddenly,
while the tears rolled down her
beautiful cheeks—“father, shall I
drink the poison now?”
The form of the old deacon was
convulsed with agony. He raised
not his head, but in a smothered
voice he faltered, “ No, no, my
child, in God’s name, no !”
She lifted the glittering goblet,
and letting it fall suddenly to the
floor, it was dashed to pieces. Many
a tearful eye watched her move
ment, and instantaneously every
glass was transferred to the marble
table on which it had been prepared.
Then, as she looked at the fragments
of crystal, she turned to the com
pany, saying:
“ Let no friend hereafter who
loves me, tempt me to peril my soul
for wine, or any other poisonous
venom. Not firmer are the ever
lasting hills than ray resolve, God
helping me, never to touch or taste
the terrible poison. And he, to
whom I have given my hand—who
watched over my brother’s dj’ing
form in that land of gold—will sus
tain me in this resolve. Will you
not, my husband?”
His glistering eyes, his sad, sweet
smile was her answer. The deacon
had left the room, but when he re
turned, and with a more subdued
manner look part in the entertain
ment of the bridal guests, no one
could fail to see that he, too, bad
determined to banish the enemy, at
once and for ever from that prince
ly home.
Reader, this is no fiction. I was
there, and heard the words, which
I have penned, as near as lean
recollect them. This bride, her
husband, and her brother, who died
in the gold regions of California,
where schoolmates of mine. Those
who were present at that wedding
of my associates never forgot the
impression so solemnly made, and
all from that hour for-sworc the
social glass.
University, which, added to the
small amounts arising from tui
tion fees of the few students in at
tendance, constituted their salaries.
Had these lands been retained,
their aggregate value at present
would constitute a princely endow
ment, but, unfortunately, they were
sold for a mere song to meet the
then pressing demands.
The prescribed curriculum of
four years has continued in practice,
without material change, from the
inauguration of Franklin College
until the present year. The insti
tution has been in successful opera
tion for nearly three fourths of a
century, in which time it has per
formed a great work for Georgia
and the Southwestern States. It
numbers among its aluinui proba
bly more graduates than any other
institution of learning in the South
ern States, many of whom have
risen to great eminence in our na
tional councils, and have achieved
enviable reputations in the depart
ments of literature and science.
The first president of the college
was Dr. Josiah Meigs, lie was
succeeded by the following officers:
Dr, John Brown, of South Carolina;
Dr. Robert Finley, of New Jersey;
Dr. Moses Waddell, of South Caro
lina, and Dr. Alonzo Church. The
present chancellor is Dr. A. A.
Lipscomb, of Alabama.
The advances in science, and the
necessity of enlarging the basis of
the education prescribed at Frank
lin College, so as to place the insti
tution more in harmony with the
generation on which it is to act, in
duced the trustees to change the
whole system that lias been follow
ed for seventy years, and that has
performed good work in its day,
when collegiate education was only
designed fora limited class, and be
fore the value of scientific training
was fully recognized.
By the system now adopted, the
course is prescribed lor the younger
students and elective for the older.
In the Freshmen and Sophomore
years the studies are prescribed,
the only privilege of election there
being the election betweeu French
and Greek. All are required to
study Latin. After the completion
of the paescribed course of the
Sophomore year, the privilege of
election in the most general sense is
granted the student, provided he
elects a number of subjects sufficient
to occupy his time. Having made
the election, he is not permitted to
change his studies without the per-
mission of the Faculty.
There are seven academic and
three professional schools, under
the charge of ten professors. The
academic schools are so combined
as tp constitute a scientific course
and a classical or literary course.
Thus, while the privilege of elec
tion is granted the student, in order
to obtain a degree be is compelled
to follow one or the other of the
prescribed courses.
When the course in each school
is completed, the student is awarded
a certificate of proficiency, and
when lie obtains the certificates re
quired in the scientific or classical
course, he is entitled to the degree
of Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor
of Arts. The time a student may
have been in attendance upon the
lectures of a professor, is in no
manner an element considered in
determining whether or not he is
entitled to a certificate of proficien
cy. This is decided alone upon the
knowledge of the subject exhibited
by the student in his daily recita-
tbree years after receiving the de
gree of Bachelor of Arts, but is
awarded alone ii> those students
whoobtain cer tificatesof proficiency
iu each of the seven academic
schools, including, in the school of
modern languages, French and Ger
man. A degree, under this system,
will carry with it significance. It
will not simply signify that a stu
dent has attended the class-room for
a certain number of years, but it
will be evidence of actual attain
ments in each department, as exhi
bited by each student in his indi
vidual capacity. He will thus
early be taughtihe important lesson
of self-reliance, of relying alone on
himself, and noton the adventitious
aid of class influence.
The University is situated in the
town of Athens, a place noted
throughout Georgia and the south
west for its attractive beauty, its
cultivated society, and its delight
ful, healthy climate. It is in lati
tude 33 deg. 54 sec. and enjoys as
perfect freedom from malaria as the
mountains of New York. Upon
the completion of the railway
through upper Georgia to Knox
ville, Tennessee, the geographical
position of the University will be
more commanding. It will -occupy
an accessible central position in the
southwestern States which must
vastly increase its influence.
The chair of agriculture was en

State $8,000, being the interest on
a debt due from the State to the
University. This sum is wholly
inadequate to develop the UDiver
sity, and unworthy of the great
State whose highest educational in
terests it represents. Should an en
lightened public opinion in Georgia
endow its University with half the
munificence that has marked the
donations to the more favored insti
tutions of the North, it would in
augurate a new era in educational
development in the southwest, iu

Ax Agricultural College
for Boys.—A correspondent of the
Country Gentleman lias visited the
Michigan College, at Lansing, and
is greatly pleased at finding the
institution intensely practical and
thorough, the professors all work
ers, and the boys in earnest lie
says:
Some people have queer ideas of
such a oollegp. They think it is a
new-fangled notion, that professors
are stuck-up men, drawing big sal
aries, strutting about in broadcloth
and kid gloves, knowing nothing
at all of farming or kindred pur
suits, except a few theories they bav
got from books. There never was
a greater mistake. The professors
are practical men, and go into the
fields and gardens with the students
for three hours every afternoon.
They do not commonly take hold
and do the work of one hand, it is
true. This would not be best for
any man who is .foreman over a
large number of workmen, but there
is not one of these professors who
caunot do any part of the work
quicker, better and easier than any
of his students. They frequently
take up tools and show the boys
bow to use them. The pupils do
not receive very large pay for their
work—not more than twelve and
one-halfceuts per hour; but they
perform a great variety of labor,
all of which comes in handily with
the theories aqd lectures. No one i
Different Ways of Making; Tea.
The Chinaman puts his tea in a
cup, pours hot water upon it, and
drinks the infusion of the leaves;
lie never dreams of spoiling its fla
vor with sugar or cream. The Jap
anese triturates the leaves before
putting them into the jn.it. In
Morocco they put green tea, a little
tansy, and a great deal of sugar,
into a teapot, and fill uj> with boil**
ftig \vatcr. In Bokhara every man
carries a small box of tea about
him, a certain quantity of which he
hands over to the booth keejrer be
patronizes, who ooneocts the beve-
rdge for him. The llokhariot finds
it as difficult to [toss a tea-booth as
our own drain drinker does to go
by a gin-palace. His breakfast
beverage is Schitechaj ; that is, tea
flavored with milk, cream, or mut
ton fat, iu which bread is soaked,
During the daytime, sugarlessgreen
tea is drank, with the accompani
ment of cakes of flour uml mutton
suet. It is considered an inexcusa
ble breach of manners to cool the
hot cup of tea with the breath, but
the difficulty is overcome by sup
porting the right elbow in the left
hand and giving a circular move
ment to the cup. How long each
kind of tea takes to draw is calcu
lated to the second ; and when the
can is emptied, it is passed around
among the company for each tea-
drinker to take up as many leaves
as can be held between the thumb
and finger—the leaves being es
teemed an especial dainty.

The mistress of the tent, placing a
large kettle on the fire, wiped it
knows how much painting and var
nisbing facilitate cleaning. Inside
painting is therefore of great prac
tical utility, and affords on walls
opportunities for thorough cleanli
ness that paper-hangings can not
give. But painting as a matter of
taste is of hardly less importance
than as a matter of use. The influ
ence of colors in the aggregate can
not have less influence upon our
culture than that of music. Of the
two senses, bearing and sight, the
latter is the most iinjrortant. Still
we laugh down and j>ut to shame
the mail who annoys with jtoor
music, and treat him as a disturber
of the peace. But men paint the
inside of their houses with moat
inappropriate and discordant colors
with jterfect impunity. Few men
suppose that they are capable of
composing a simple song, yet there
are few who do not feel comjretcnt
to direct in selecting colors for their
houses. Nor is this the worst fea
ture of the case. Not half the paint
ers themselves understand their
business as a science, but arc guid
ed by what they think looks pret- * cnta
ty. Hence we see houses painted
in all the colors of the rainbow,
because that happens to be the
fashion ; or because it affords grati
fication to a semi-barbarous taste.
All that we urge is more diffidence
on the part of builders in this mat
ter, and culture on the jiart of paint
ers. Works and periodicals on
building oiJght to exhibit exam
ples of coloring authorized by the
best artists so that the public might
emerge from the darkness in which
nearly every one now gropes when
he begins to color his room. Chil
dren ought to be taught to distin
guish colors as a jiart of their educa
tion, and their school-house ought
to be beyond criticism as a work of
coloring. In this way the paint
ing of a house would come to be
considered as the most delightful
subject connected with building.
Lying About Arkansas.—The

Arkansas is full of Ku-Klux, and
that there are over 30,000 of these
disturbers of the peace in the State.

Mr. Pierce says: “Here in Arkan

such fools as Ku-Klux. Peace,

coarse tea and a little salt When
this was near boiling point, she toss
ed the tea about with a brass ladle
until the liquor became very brown,
and then it was jxiured off into an
other vessel. Cleansing the kettle
as before, the woman set it again
on the fire, in order to Iry a paste
of meal and fresh butter. Upon
this the tea and some thick cream
were then poured, the ladle put into
requisition, and, after a time, the
whole taken oft* the fire and set
aside to cool. Half pint wooden
mugs were bauded around, and tea
ladled into them, a tea forming
meat and drink, and satisfying both
hunger and thirst However made,

The Democracy on Tariffs.
—In Senator Mortou’s speech at
Indianopolis, be stated the “Demo
crats had no recognized policy uj>-
on the subject of the tariff," and
for prooff he said that the Dem
ocratic Senators from Maryland
were in favor of retaining the coal
tax, and that the Senators from
West Virginia were also for it By
the by. the latter are Republicans,
and their action could affect us we
do not see. We are then told that
the Democrats of Pennsylvania are
in favor of the duty on iron, and
Kensucky on hemp, and Louisana
and Texas on Sugar. Two pigeons
do not make a flock, and although
the Democracy are not entirely
unanimous * upon the tariff
they yet cast more than nine-
tenths of their votes for & revenue
of free trade tariff The Republic
are equally unanimous for a high
protective or prohibitory tariff.
