Honors for Woiih-ii at lli<> Xorilnvt-st<> ' 1 I'ui v?Tsily. Among the graduates in law at the recent commencement were Mrs. Mary M. Xecus, of Oakland, California, and Alice M. Albright, of Illinois. Of the twenty receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts two were ladies, and one of these. Miss Cora Raw'ius, took the Brandon $100 prize tor the highest scholarship in the class. The $100 Kirk prize for oratory was also won by a woman, Miss Nettie .!. Hunt.?Woman's Tribune. A ?l?raska <iirl. Miss Blanche.Jones, of Lincoln, won Hivt iiri/M iti Mn? annual oratorical contest of the High School, and ill her subject, "Nationalism," betrayed a well trained mind, and an intelligent knowledge of a somewhat abstruse subject. When women are so rapidly "coming to the fore" tbe Western girl is sure to find a place in the van.? Woman's Tribune. A recent Census bulletin shows that there are in round numbers 7,470,000 negroes in the United Sates, of whom about 580,000 reside north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. The same bulletin states some other facts which will be a great surprise to many jjeople. Of these millions 056,OSS'are mulattoes, 105,135 are quadroons, and are ocotroons. It will thus be seen that nearly six-sevenths of the negroes in this country are of unmixed African blood. Less than a year ago a leputable Methodist editor traveling in the Southern Stutes expressed it as his conviction that the mulattoes were more numerous than the unadultera ted negroes. His view was based on what he had seen in towns ami cities, ami along lines of railroad, and was, therefore, without an adequate warrant.?Nasville Ch. Ad. Men who have a dozen irons in the fire are not the ones to go crazy. It is the man of voluntary or compelled leisure who mopes, and pines, and thinks himself iuto the mad-house or the grave. Motion is all Nature's law. Action is man's salvation, physical and mental. And yet nine out of ten are wistfully looking to the coveted hour when they shall have leisure to do nothiug or something only if they feel like it?the very siren that has lured to death many a successful man. He is only truly wise who lays himself out to work till life's latest hour, and that is the man who will live the longest, aud will live to most purpose. ?A greater truth aud a more important truth can scarcely be enforced on the ministry than this from the Watchman, Boston; "If the ministry to-day is losing influence, we believe that the loss is due far more to a decline of pastoral work than to a decline in the quality of sermons." Some of the pews of Grace Episcopal Church, New York, are owned by pers >ns who are not members of the congregation, and they receive large revenues from the pew rentals. "Very unedifying," the Rector observes, "from a religious point of view," is this condition of things. Our Legislature has passed a law that no more lottery tickets will be sold in Loui-iana alter lk-eeniher Ml, 1S93. Of course Gov. Foster will sign it. That settles the lottery tor goou.? N. 0.
