More than seventy years have elapsed since the last Irish secretary who subsequently become prime minister was appointed. In 1830 Lord Stanley, subsequently known as the great earl of Derby, was appointed Irish secretary and held that office till 1833. The other prime ministers who were previously Irish secretaries are the duke of Wellington, who, aa Sir Arthur Wellesley, was Irish secretary from 1807 till 1809; Sir Rob ert Peel, who filled tbat office from 1812 till 1818, and William Lamb (Lord Melbourne), who waa Irish secretary from 1827 till 1828.

Immediately after the conclusion of the political campaign in which Horace Greeley was snowed under by U. S. Grant, for the presidency of the United States, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in common with thousands of others, felt sad over the terrible desolation of his old friend, and just as soon as Mr. Greeley announced himself once more in journalistic harness, addressed to him the following letter: "Brooklyn. Nov. 9, 1872. "My Dear Mr. Greeley: I read your card in the Tribune with sincere pleasure, and congratulate myself and the cause of journalism on your return to a field in which you have won so much reputation and where you have done such service that the history of America cannot be written without including as an important part of it your life and services. You may think, amid clouds of smoke and dust, that all your old friends who parted company with you in the lale campaign will turn a mo mentary difference into a life long alienation. It will not be so. I speak for myself, and also from what I per ceivc in other men's hearts. Your mere political influence may fur a time lio impaired, but your own power for gexid in the far wider field of industrial economy, social &ud civil critof icism. and the general Bociety, will not lie lessened, but augmented. It is true tbat hitherto the times called for a warrior, and such you were; yet I cannot but think with regret how much ability has been spent by you that died with the occasion, and which might have built up positive and permanent elements. But I look upon your years to come as likely to be more fruitful and irradiated with a kind and beneficent light, which will leave your name in honor far greater than if you liad reached the highest office. I beg hat you will pardon my intrusion. especially when you stand in the shadow of a great domestic trouble. I hoped tbat a wold of honest lespeet and sympathy might not you. There are thousands whu would like to do ns I have done, and who with me will rejoice once more to be in sympathy with you in all things I am, my benefiier.t and patriotic. Hr. dear Greeley, very truly yours. "Henry Ward Beecher." well-bein- g 1 dis-plea- BUSINESS COLLEGE. Now Open it the Templeton' Tuition F01 School Yemr, IIO.

A Princeton man tells of an Incident of Dr. Woodrow Wilson's elevation to the presidency of Princeton which he regards as Indicative of the way in which he will hold the students in leash by ready wit and a genial smile instead of trying to awe them with his dignity. When darkness lent cover to the , jject, on the evening of the day on which the announcement of Dr. Wilson's election was made, some of the more boisterous spirits organized a celebration, and having requisitioned horns and a green grocer's stock of head lettuce, descended upon the new president. At the first toot of a horn he knew what was coming, hut before bedlam could break loose. Dr. Wilson was out among the' serenaders, grasping each one by the hand and thanking them individually and collectively for theil congratulations, pretending not to see the lettuce heads which the students made desperate ei?orts to keep out ol view and to get rid en When tne students recovered from this unexpected overthrow of their planB some one shouted: "Whats the matter with Woodrow Wilson?"

Anyhow, aa matters now stand, no other colony has such a glorious past to point to as the former South African republics. - Rsrarslons via (ha farlfle Hallway To points in Ohio and Indiana.
