EXAMINATIONS. The several papers of the younir gentlemen with few exceptions, were highly creditable and gave evidence of study and careful preparation. As compared with previous examinations there was a decided improvement in the orthography and handwriting of the class, and also in the style of com position. Very few grammatical er rors and mistakes in spelling were noticed. From the scope of the ques tions propounded for answer in the examination room, it was apparnt that they covered the ground in each study as well as could be expected, and showed that the professors had been faithful and exhaustive in their teachings. From time to lime the newest and most approved text books have been substituted for those which had been supplanted by the discove ries and improvements in modern science, until now the university is supplied with the very best produc tions of the most distinguished authois in all the branches of her curriculum. ATTENTION TO FUNDAMENTAL STUDIES. We would, howeve-, recommend, in view of the imperfect scholarship of many matriculates who are receiv ed, that as formerly, before the insti tution of the university system, the students in every department be re quired to stand an examination at the end of each term in arithmetic and geography. Too much stress cannot tie laid upon the importance of thor ough training in these useful branch es, which underlie the very founda tions of practical knowledge. NUMBER OF STUDENTS. For the current year the chancellor reports in attendance a total of 1,279 matriculates iu all the departments of the university. These are devided as follows: VIA KOKOMO. leaveC. H. A D. Depol <• C.

Richardson by the board of trus tees, provided they would furnish good board to the students at $12 per month. These exemplary aud culti vated ladies have tally oomplied with their obligation, and the young men have now the benefit ol a bountifully supplied table and refined female socie ty together with a room in the college, rent free, at the above very moderate outlay. This was the regular charge for board in the palmy, ante-bellum days of old. . Should auy desire, how ever, to five even cheaper, it is per fectly practicable to do so by forming messes, hiring apartments, purchasing their supplies conjointly. In this manner the cost of board might be reduced to about 87 per month. The board were invited to dine with Mrs. Suramey and Mrs. Richs ardson respectively, in an informal manner, and found their large estab lishments in the best order, and an abundant spread of wholesome and well cookeu food. INCOME OF THE UNIVERSITY. An examination of the books of the venerable treasurer, W. L. Mitchell, LL.D, showsjthe finances of the institution to be in a healthy con dition, and its pecuniary affairs adv mirably managed. The cash balance on hand, Jnne 4, was $6,514.41. The following are the receipts of the current year to date: Cash on lian-i at close of financial year, (Jnlv 10, 1SS0) t 7,906 56 Collected irom all sources since 25,443 67 4 excellent Kterary foun- L '" shall it be said that the Total $38,849 18 To this amount must be added, when collected, Kent of professors’ dwellings, esti mated at $ 1,000 00 One Jnlv 1,1881, on interest upon Terrell tend 700 00 Due July 1,1MJ1, interest on bonded investments.... 1,960 00 land- station, after sending forth iers in the cause of free ed- dted midway in the work tBawdvjhaae iqetituriopB toput?

Let us hbpe r then that very soon all the doors and portals of our time honored state university will be thrown wide open to receive, without money and without price, every son of the com mon-wealth who thirsts after know! edge and literary fame. TBE GENERAL MEASURE. We are glad to chronicle the fact that under the liberal donation grant ed by the board, of trustees for that purpose. Professor White is engaged in bringing order out of chaos by separating, classifying anew, and la belling thousands of the valuable minerals and curiosities which, since the war, have been lying pell-mell in one confused heap. When his labors are concluded this museum will be an ornament to the university. APPARATUS. Under the guidance of Professors Cbarbonnier and White the board visited Moore college and carefully examined the chemicals, mineralogi cal specimens, and y&ried and costly apparatus, which at heavy expense have been added to the univerisity within the past few years. Every thing was in perfect order and in its appropiirte place. It is claimed that no institution nqjth or south is better equipped than our university, or pos sesses more perfect facilities for the practical teaching and illustration of chemistry, engineering and the phys ical sciences generally, the analysis of fertilizers. Under a late law the work of test ing by chemical analysis the numer ous commercial manures offered for parfiaHientarian in the south: r ' : the KOcit' cdi&EGE experimental’ •FAfeM.’ m ' ,| i ’" S!,v , The. board, accompanied by Col. -ChariMtnbier, the venerable professor of law; W. XI Mitchell, LL.D.,aad Ferdinand Phihizy, visited and care fully examined the experimental farm, which is under tbe eharge of the pro fessor of agriculture and horticulture —Gen. Wra. M. Browne. ' Tbis eircumsoribed^areaof ground, small as it is, can and will be made of vast benefit to the general interests of the husbandman. The farm has been made self-sustaining and not a dollar was drawn from the treasury of the university for its support during the past year. General Browne resides on the premises and gives bis personal attention to every detail. forty-two tests of fertilizers have been made, covering the most popular brands in use. Each is applied to a section of five rows—the alternate five receiv ing no artificial help. The results will be kept separate and carefully noted. Tbe professor is also instituting an* other very interesting and useful test. This consists of 26 sets of five rows each, on virgin soil just cleared, upon which the best nitrogenising com pounds have been applied in equal quantities. The object sought is to ascertain how much nitrogen is nec essary in the growth in that fertilizing element. The result may tend great ly to cheapen the cost of fertilizers. Experiment as to distance in the planting of corn and cotton, and the various modes of cultivation are bes ing tested also the preseht year. About forty-five acres are in culti vation on the farm, and the work seemed to be .systematically, and skill fully done. One.very important ad dendum, however; is still lacking, and Grand Assembly. It provides for tbe appropriation of $20,000 by the ' ■ ^jpake the cotton exposition a Number 34.

Perfect,, ac.cord exists between the faculty and students and among the professors thie&selves. The relation* ’dUthi «t&hp» t*#«rtJwthw youngare also of a very friendfy character. Nothing remains to be done but for the authorities to unite npon free tuition, and under the fos tering care of the legislature and the combined and earnest efforts of her alumni and an appreciating people, onr glorious university must certainly attain in the near future to the very highest plane of excellence, and be come the peer of any institution in America. All of which is respectfully sub mitted. H H Jones, W C Wilkes, R J Willingham, Thomas G Pond, Alex R Jones, W S McCarty, S P Ore. The foregoing report was unani mously adopted by the board and-the undersigned appointed to deliver tbe same to your excellency.. H H Jones, Thos G Pond, Alex R Jones. o not see why the bill shall not pass without objection. There is apery reason why it should .and no vallditme ‘ajjnpst'iB, The .enterpris ing gentemen who have gone ahead to inaugurate and forward the~expo- sition in Atlanta deserve great cedit aad4tiajjQthinfc.bqt_right now that they should receive the substantial enqp^ragaafent of flie' legislature in this appropriation. It will not do fbr Georgia to fall behind other states in the exhibit she.makeo and pride should induce tho general assembly to give this aid, if,there weye no stronger mo tive. But thert'is a stronger. This expenditure will iu all likelihood be the meand of enriching the stale ten fold in calling attention to our re sources,.in inducing capital to come hero and in drawing immigration. The Benefits that may accure are not to be computed while no kMs or harm can result. Nearly all the other states will be represented aud Geor gia must not fail to present a showing commensurate with her tame and worthy of her high character as the empire state of the south. We hope the legislature will ungrudgingly give the money.l In this connection we will say that Athens is not moving in the matter as she might. Some action should be taken by our business men to be rep resented and they, iu connection with the city council should take steps to have Athens claims ao presented as to induce a portion of the expected benefits to come in our direction. It is a matter worth consideration: gale jwau devolved upon Prot. White, that is a good gin'and several other of tbe university and his class.

KW This shows a falling off of nine in the aggregate for the preceding year. IN THE COLLEGIATE OBADE exclusive of the law and medical de partments and two post graduates, there are at Athens 148 undergradu ates—showing a gain of three over last year. In the branch colleges 152 are pur suing the studies of the freshman and sophomore classes, and when tbe five seniors and three juniors are added from the North Georgia college, it will be roen that the whole number of cellegiate undergraduates foots" up 308 against 274 for the past year— showing an increase of 34 for the university systsm; a pretty fair ad dition. Are tbe branch colleges FEEDERS TO THE PARENT INSTITU TION? Chancellor Mell informed the board that the North Georgia agricultural college at Dahlonega has contribut ed some" fifteen students' to the present junior class of the uni versity and promisee to be a val uable auxiliary. So far, the oth- branch ’fcoUegea have done nothing for the mother foundation. He stated, however that several young men .were expected at the oponingof the next season in Octo ber. These subordinate institutions have not as yet had sufficient time to jdem&natrpie wheth«.they will prove sources of aggrandizement or injury tbe university. It is to be hoped it many youths at the conclusion of prescribed 1 and limited educational course of the branch colleges, having lasted of the inspiring waters of the Pierian spring, will seek to drink deeper at the magical fount by avail ing themselves of the superior oppor tunities of the parent schools at Athens. It woald be premature to assert that these branches have been or will prove injurious to tbe main trunk of the university. But in the mean time we have the comfortiug assu rance that they are greatly exuanding the sphere and character of education in tbe section, where severally- lo cated. change has worked well in practice and materially expedited operations. Early in May the professor and his assistants, Messrs, Louis H. Jones and James A. Watson, aided by Due ^rimVand 81, mterert on U “ d ' jo4 «T fnelhberb of the class, had finished p their labors by the careful analysis of no less than TUREE HUNDRED samples of fertilizers which had been submitted by the inspectors for chem ical verification. The celerity and accuracy with whieh their task was perlormed, enable the; farmers before planting to make an intelligent selec tion of such compounds as were best adapted to their lands. This gave them an immense advantage m the pitching of their crops. In this con nection it is but proper to state that without any external aid whatever, one of the students, J. A. Watson, has succeeded in constructing several PERFECT TELEPHONES, which are now. in daily use in the college.

A beggarly showing indeed. Bat this furnishes the most werful argument that can be ad- ~ in favor of the total abolish, meat of scholastic fees and the im mediate inauguration of free tuition.

Failing to do so,there will be an immense loss of prestige and popularity to the uni- versity among the masses. However wrong and unfounded, tlio fact can- 1 not be diatinguised that i cores of sen sitive farmers and men in moderate circumstances, refuse to accept of the free scholarships tendered by trustees, from the belief that. their sons wards will occupy interior positionWin the university and be looked do' upon as charity students. Every attempt thus far has tailed to disabuse them ol this erroneous idea, and as a consequence onr noble institution languishes. Abolish thaj charges, however, which yield the pit iful sum of 82,000 only—an amount too,which will constantly ‘growsmallei and beautifully less,” and the first re sult will be a large increase of students at Athens from the ranks of the fresh man and sophomore classes in the inch colleges, many of whom, at- d them from motives of economy,” but ceteris paribffs,would greatly pre fer to go to the university direct,where the advantages are mmmparably su perior. As to the * FEASIBILITY OF THE MEASURE. U need only be said that the custom ary contingent fee of ten dollars per student, which is required in each of the branch colleges, with perhaps five dollars more to keep the appara tus in order and provide chemicals for daily use,would in less than two years double or treble the present amount derived from tuition. The report of the last board ot visitors showed also bow other sums could be raised,if nep essarv, by certain retrenchments aud expedients which were duly laid down but will uot be repeated. Suffice it to say if the experiment, were made we believe the effect would be. magical aphoMie"gr6wth and prosperity ot’our. beloved university. To show also that now is the time for nlctioD in .the premises, it is confidently stated that give accuracy to the various tests. The attention ot the honorable board of trustees is respectfully directed to this deficiency. “OU t WHAT A MAX f* MEB3KR AND EMORY COLLEGES with far* seeing and grounds of the institution .have been vastly improved and beautified within the past year. The credit J of this work must be divided between the noted horticulturist, Mr. Berck- mans, of Augusta, and Hon. Y. L. Harris. The former generously do nated a latge number of exotic trees and shrubs, the planting of which he personally superintended, and also dratted a plan for the laying out of the grounds. Col Harris, at 'nis own expense, has graded and terraced all the unsightly areas around Moore college, and covered with a coating ot Bermuda grass the erst-while far rowed hillsides and yawning gullies. No lees than 4,000 wagon loads ot earth were required for that purpose. Ip-Mr. Meeker, to», is much praise due for carrying out tbe plan of Mr. P, J.

They A UNIVERSITY NORMAL SCHOOL. It will be remembered that a recent attempt was made to transfer the nor mal school of Tennessee, which was largely supported by the Peabody fund, to Georgia. The project met with general commendation, and even recieved legislative indorsement. But in the eleventh hour the whole scheme fell through by the determination of the people of Tennessee to retain the school within their borders by contin uing to appropriate 86,000 anually for its support. Since then tbe whole matter, has rested; but the time has at length ar rived when Georgia can ncr longer re main passive on a question of,such vi tal importance. It is stated upon the highest authority that the successor of Dr Seare,IlevJ L MCurry.LL D, hi ni sei! a graduate of tbe State universi ty, has announced his willingness to make an annual donation of $6,000 to wards the establishment ot a normal college for the education of teachers ot both sexes in Georgia, provided that the legislature will appropriate a similar sum: The new constitution emphatically enjoins that a proper aye- tern of public schools shall be main tained in the commonwealth. But bow can this be done with incompe tent and inefficient instructors ? Just here,therefore,it is peculiarly apropos that the trustees ot the university should take the matterin hand and use every endeavor to incorporate this much needed school as a part ot the uni versity system and locate it at Ath ens, Thus placed,the students would have access to the library; could listen to the lectures of the several profes sors, and in turn to be leotured to by them on such subjects as were ger- main to their course of instruction. The normal college itself might be presided over by some educational ex pert elected by the trustees, and the whole be under the general supervi sion and control of Chancellor Mell, as is the case with tbe other branches of tbe institution. The board, after due inquiry, . has every reason to believe that the trus tees of the Luoy Cobb iustitute would still be willing to make good the for mer offer of a surrender of this beauti ful edifice of the university in fee sim ple, Ouon the condition that it be con verted into a normal college and form a part of the state university.

Two sprightly and beautiful young ladies were visiting their cousin, another sprightly and beantiful young lady, who, like her guests, was of that hap py age that turns everything into fun and merriment. If the truth were told, we fear we should have to record the fact that these three misses were just a httle bit tast. They were fond of practical jokes, and were constantly playing all sorts of pranks with each other. All three occupied a room on the ground floor, and cuddled up to gether in the bed. Two of the young ladies attended a party on the night in question, and did not go home until 11:30 o’clock at night. As it was late they con cluded not to disturb the household, so they quietly stepped into their room through the low, open window. In about half an hour after they had left for the party a young Meth odist minister called at the house, where they werh staying, and craved a night’s lodging, which of course was granted. As ministers always have the best of everything, the old lady put him to sleep in the beat room, and the young lady, Fannie, who had not gone to the party, was enstrusted with the doty of sitting np for the absent ones. and. of informing them of the change of rooms. She took up her post in tbe parlor, and, as the night was sultry, sleep overcome her, and she departed on an excursion to the land of dreams. We will now return to the young ladies who had gone to their room throngh the window. By the dim light of the moonbeams, as they straggled through the curtains, the young ladies were able to descry the outlines of Fannie (as they supposed) ensconsed in the middle of the bed. They saw mote—to.wit: a pair of boots. The truth flashed upon them at once. They saw it all. Fannie bad' set the boots in the room to give them a scare. They put their heads together and determined to turn the tables on her. Silently they disrobed and stealthily as cats they took their positions on each side of the bed. At a given signatythey both jumped into tbe bed, oue on each side of the un conscious parson,laughing and scream ing, “Oh, what a man! Ob, what a man!” They gave the poor, be wildered minister such a promiscuous hugging and tussling as few parsons are able to brag of in the. course of a lifetime. The noise of the proceedings awoke the old lady,' who was sleeping in an adjoining room. She comprehended the situation in a moment, and rush ing to the room, she opened the door and exclaimed; “Gracious, gals 1 It’s a man—it’s a man, sure enough!” There was one prolonged, consoli dated scream, a flash of mnsjin through the door, and all was over. The best of the joke is that the minister took tbe whole thing in ear* nest. He would listen to no apolo gies the old lady could make tor the girls. He would bear no excuse, but solemnly folded bis official robes about him and silently stole away. Query—Was be mad at the girls, —at the old woman ?

On this ground he declines this degree and title ot Doctor of Di> i vinitv, as conferred not only by Mer- | cer University,controlled by the Bap tist church ot Georgia, but by Da vidson Gollege, of North Carolina, controlled by the Presbyterian church of which he lias just received notice,' at the same time being deeply sensi ble ot tbe honor involved in this fa vorable judgment oi brethren so em inent in these two branches of the cbnrcb, and of their kind feeling to ward himself as thus expressed.’’ The Springfield Republican, one of tbe most respectable republican pa pers in the United States, declare* that Arthur onght to resign; and that a democrat would, of course, succeed him, as the democrats now control the senate, but this, would be &? preferable to a Vice President who spends his whole timeiii lobbying and endeavoring tp bulldoze the mem bers of a legislature, .
