An amendment of M. Paris was adopted, providing that degrees to be awarded by the Board of Examinors consist half of Stute and half I of free professors. This is regarded as | a victory for Ultmuiontanes, as the free professors are clerical. Dublin, June 17.?The gentlemen com- J posing the American Team have been elected honorary members of the princi? pal clubs. London, Jnne 17.?The Times says the j French University Education Bill, as amended, makes changes of immense importance. It gives a death-blow to a syBtem of educational despotism under which a secular and often skeptical body has hitherto shaped the higher teaching of young men wlio tilled the professions and matte the laws of the country. Malcolm, Hudson and Co., Japan mer? chants, and Anibol Gonzales & Co., mer? chants, have failed. It is believed their liabilities are not heavy; their failure was caused by the suspension of Alex? ander, Collie & Co. Several additional failures, mostly East India houses; general feeling of dis qnietnde in business circles. Halifax, June 17.?The steamer Virgo, ashore at St. Pierre, went to pieces Tuesday night. The captain of a vessel at Cape Causo spoke the schooner Trea? sure, the captain of which reported two of his dories and four men absent forty eight hours; they were.probably lost, as the weather was rough.

Boston, Jnne 17.?The Union Volun? teers, under General Banks, presented regimental colors to the Fifth Maryland. 75,000 strangers here. The Southern ?soldiers have the lion's share of the hos? pitality. The day was cloudless; entering trains swarmed with visitors; notwithstanding the crowds, order is excellent; but few arrests. State troops lead the parade. Most hearty shouts reserved for Phila? delphia regiment, olad in gray; Mary? land Fifth; Charleston Light Infantry and New York Seventh. . The Maryland Fifth bears its elegant flag, presented yesterday. The parade of soldiers occu? pied two hours in passing the State House.

Speeches were also made by Eminent Commander Patterson, of the Coaur De Lion Commandery, and Eminent Commander W. E. Tanner. A collation closed the exercises. The gen? eral display was the most inagniticent ever seen in this city. Columbus, June 17.?Indications are that Governor Allen will be nominated by acclamation. All tho Counties are represented. A hail-storm tore off part of the roof of the Stato House, while the Ohio Convention was in session. Tho Convention nomi? nated Wm. Allen Governor and Samuel F. Carey Lieutenant-Governor. Washington, June 17.?Tho instruc? tions for the guidance of tho Sioux Com? missioners are nearly completed at the Indian Bureau, but the Commissioner of Indian Affairs indicates that they will not be given to the press?at least, not until after the Commissioners are en? gaged in their labors. He hopes to have the negotiations effected without the in? terference of such outside parties as fol? lowed the Indians to Washington, and therefore deems it prudent to withhold the instructions from the public.

Tho Secretary of War returns from West Point on Saturday. Treasurer New will bo here June 25.

Jacob's factory is burned; loss $30,000. Atciuson, Juno 17.?Vast swarms of locusts are passing North. Their in? stinct seems to bo to travel North-west; but few of tho pests remain in town. Beports from five-sixths of tho Stata promise immense crops. It is estimated that the Arkansas valley will produce 2,000,000 bushels -wheat; North-western Kansas as much more in rye, barley and oats.

A special London despatch to tho Boston Traveller, states that there is no doubt a revolution is brewing in Madrid, and capitalists were refusing to advance any inoro money to Alfonso's Go? vernment. With a foo implacable and active in the rear, Cuba in a state of suc? cessful revolution, and widely discordant elements at homo, it is indeed but a Ju est ion of time when tho poor young upo of crafty counsellors, who sits on the Spanish throne, will go back to his mother at Paris. Isabolla herself has no earthly chanco of power in Spain, and the next revolution will doubtless toss the crown into Don Carlos' hands?whe? ther for better or for worse, time will re? veal. Number op Milks of Cable in Opera? tion.?The recent announcement of the completion of the new Atlantic Cable has led to the publication of some interest? ing statistics in regard to the rapid pro? gress made in the application of the cable as a means of communication be? tween commercial countries. By these statistics it appears that, aside from the cables between Europe and the United States, which are now five in number, of an aggregate length of 9,020 miles, there have been twenty-nine laid between other countries since 1807, of a total length of about 28,001 miles. This gives a grand total of nearly 38,000 miles. The lines between Europe and America, except the one whose completion is now announced, arc under the management of the Anglo-American Telegraph Com? pany. It is astonishing how many people have been trying to save Beecher. Moullon tried his best to save him, and Beecher wouldn't be saved; Carpenter, tho artist, left his precious pallet and brushes to save him, and Beecher, in effect, kicked him down the back stairs; Bowen tried to save the rash und parox? ysmal man of "umbrellaed excuses," but Plymouth Church threw mud over him for his pains. Barricaded by Plymouth gold and taking unto himself the attri? butes of the god Pan, the "great de? fendant" reclines amid the fragrance of his pulpit bouquets, and talks frivolous? ly to his people, or plays the antics of a buffoon on his platform, his every effort being to excite laughter while he trifles with the most sacred subjects. A Severe Hail Storm.?Messrs. Pel zer, Bodgers A Co., of this city, received yesterday, from one of their correspon? dents at Darlington, a box containing a half-bushel of hail stones the size of a pigeon's eggs, and several stalks of corn, which were cut to pieces by the stones. The hail storm occurred on Saturday afternoon last, and was one of the se? verest ever known in that section. The corn and cotton plants were cut down, and in one spot over twenty bushels of hail stones were gathered. Those hail stones were so large that thoso which were gathered on Saturday and expressed to this city wero as largo as pigeon's eggs when they reached here yesterday morn? ing, over three days after theythad fallen. [Charleston Xeios ana Courier. Some of our young readers may like to try the experiment of making a hanging garden of sponge. It is a pretty novelty. Take a white sponge of largo size, and sow it full of rice, hemp, gross and other seed; then place it in o shallow dish, in which a little water is constantly kept, and as the sponge will absorb the moist? ure, the seeds will begin to sprout before many days. When this has fairly taken place, the sponge may be suspended by means of coids in the window, whore a little sunshine will enter. It will thus become a mass of green folisge, and it should be refreshed with water daily, so as to be "kept moist. Mr. Moody doesn't allow any mishap to interfere with his revival meetings in London. In the midst of o recent dis? course, and the height of its interest, two or threo quickly succeeding shrieks came from the centre of the audience. Moody stopped as if it were a signal shot from Satan's line and said: "We'll stand up and sing -Bock of Ages, Cleft for Me, ' and the usher will please help that friend out of the hall. She's hysterical." There were no more "hysterical" demonstra? tions during the evening, and the con? gregation scarcely realized that there hail been any interruption in the service. """At one of Moody's recent revival meetings in London, he called on all those who wished to go to heaven to rise. A jolly .lack Tar present did not respond to the invitation, but remained in his seat. Thereupon Moody asked if it conld be possible he did not wish to go to heaven also. "Yes, your honor," re? sponded Jack; "I wish to go to heaven." "Then why don't you rise with the rest?" "Because," replied Jack, very slowly, and surveying tho whole company with a scrutinizing glance, "because 1 ain't going to ship with any such a looking crew as this!" Jay Cooke is credited with this mode of fishing at Put-in-Boy, for a. descrip? tion of which all lazy fishermen will be thankful: "He had a large glass jar, filled with minnows, in the place which he frequented. Tlio big fish would swarm around the jar, seeing their covet? ed prey, and hungry for tho expected feast lie would drop his hook among them, and haul out tho victims of his novel delusion with the utmost ease and readiness, until tired of the unsporstman like sport. "No, I don't want none of your light? ning-rods," snid a Kentucky farmer, last week, to a man who had stopped at his house to put up patent lightning con? ductors. "I ain t afraid of lightning, it's the thunder I believe's going to knock us all endwise, some day." "You don't seem to comprehend," said the peddler; "these ere silver-tipped rods are light? ning-rods, and the gold-tipped ones are thunder-rods?just what you want," and ho persuaded the old man in ordering up the gold-tipped rods. A remarkable instance is quoted by the Calcutta Indian statesman, illustrative of the early marriages among the Hindoos. In a case of theft tried by the magistrate of Hooghly, tho witnesses examined were the great-grand-niothor of tho child, the grand-mother and mother, and their re? spective ages wero taken down, as is usual in Mofnssil courts, as follows: The great-grand-mothor 10 years, the grand? mother 28, and tho mother only 10. BfA New Mexico editor, in a forgetful moment, the other day, was so impru? dent as to venture into his sanctum with? out having a revolver v lth him. The coroner's jury returned a verdict o "deliberate sulcido." "A magnificent array of bridal pre? sents on the occasion of a brilliant wed? ding," says a New York letter writer, "is indeed a very pleasant sight to behold." Yes, but the pleasnro of looking at such an array of costly gew-gaws hardly com? pensates one for the sadness he experi? ences on seeing them sent back to the parties they have been hired from. Woman suffrage is looking up. After an excited debute the Missouri Constitu? tional Convention has passed an ordi? nance submitting to a vote of the people the question whether or not the women of that State shall be entrusted with the ballot. Verily, agitation is a great thing, j and the hens may yet crow lustily in Missouri. The least attempt to hurt the feelings editorial is in this current story: "Arc you connected with a paper here?" asked a countryman of an inmate of the In? diana Insane Asylum. "O! no," was the reply; "I have been to the insane asylum and been cured; a man never runs a newspaper after he is cured." A secret enemy of the late Horace Groeley has written to the Inler-Oceetn, to say that the I.-O. is the only paper that takes the place of the old Tribune. When a journalistic man is in his grave, he should be prottwted front stich cow? ardly stubs, even if his paper was a little violent at times. A Friohtfux Example.?First de? gree ?Lemonade with a stick in it. Second degree?Brandy smash and port wine. Third degree?Bourbon whiskey, old ale and gin. Fourth degree?Bour? bon, brandy, old ale, gin, rum and apple juck. Fifth degree?All kinds every time; never say no. The editor of a Wisconsin paper has tried grass-hopper soup and pronounces it first rate. S\ e've no doubt that it is good?that it is perfectly splendid, in fact; but somehow or other, when they bring in any of those out-of-the-way soups, we generally don't feel hungry much. Two Illinois men who are no kin to each other look so much alike as to create confusion whenever they appear in the same town. "A comely catfish expression about their mouths" is what misleads the public more than anything else. The Alabama papers announce that an investigation by a board of commission? ers appointed to adjust the State debt re? veals that it amounts to nearly $32,000, 000, chiefly incurred by endorsement of railway bonds. There are said to be strong hinjs of repudiation. ?"?A Boston paper says: "No human being was ever burned in New England for witchcraft or sorcery." Then we say: "No human being was ever lynched West of the Mississippi for horse steal? ing." Blackville has celebrated its recent victory in the Court House war by estab? lishing a newspaper. Th# Blackville Sun is a neat, newsy and interesting paper and will prove of great benefit to the town. The case of Tilton vs. Bencher is near? ly at an end. It bus paid the Western Union Telegraph Company $750,000 in additional newspaper toils. It has con? sumed more space in the public prints than an entire Presidential campaign. GniEviNo.?That young man Caldwell, city editor of the Charlotte Observer, is in trouble. He remembers now, that in 1775, he could buy a quart of whiskey for twenty-five cents, and now it is fif? teen cents a drink. The Governor has appointed N. R. Scovill, Census-taker of Beaufort: Carter Boss, Commissioner of Election for Chester, rice Yocom, resigned: D. H. Gilmore, Commissioner of Election for Chester, vice J. Lilly, removed. As a substitute for the guillotine, an American inventor has laid before the French Government a self-acting ma? chine which takes the condemned out of this world in a twinkling, and the new apparatus only costs $2,000. j The murderer of Mrs. Keech, on Ma tun/a inlet, near St. Augustine, Flu., was captured in Volusia County, while mak? ing his way up the St. John's. He gives his name as Newton, and says he is from Illinois. The steamer Wisconsin, for New York, took out 100 Mormons, the last shipment of the season. Half of them were Ger? mans and the remainder natives of Great Britain. Wednesday was the 200th anniversary of the revelation made to the Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque, of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The day was oelcbrated in all Catholic churches. Tho compositor who substituted an "in" for a "w," in speaking of a lady troubled with "swelling of the feet," ac? complished the worst typographical feat on record. A Massachusetts reporter, in an ac? count of a fire, incidentally speaks of the time "when Messrs. Shadrach, Mosbach & Co. got the laugh on Nebu? chadnezzar." Advices from Santander represent that the political situation at Madrid causes increasing uneasiness. There is a rumor, which is not confirraod, that tho Carlists are about to bombard Bilboa. A Nowark girl hastened tho departure of a lingering gentleman caller, tho other evening, by remarking, aB she looked out of the window: "1 think we shall have a beautiful sunrise." The Lowell, Mass., savings banks have over $11,000,000 on deposit. A strong evidence of tho thrift of tho factory hands. * Tho machinery of the Atlanta water works is on the way to that city.
