Commenting upon this arrangement, the Right Hon. W. H. Smith said in Parlia- ment :

‘**T cannot help remarking on the extreme value of the principle which underlies the engagement which has been made with the Australian colonies. (Cheers.) It recognizes the principle of a common duty by the people of this country and our cousins, friends and children in'the colonies in connection with the protection and defence of the Empire. They recognize that they must do something for the protection of their own interests, and they express their confidence in the capacity of this country to aid and protect them. They do something in the way of helping them- selves, by imposing on themselves a consid erable annual charge, while they place th« control of the naval force in the hands of ow officers in the South Seas. I think we have in this agreement, which we now ask Parliament to ratify, the indication of a policy wiiich we may completely follow with great advantage to the common interest of all who eall them selves Englishmen, whether they are found in England er Australia, in Canada or the Cape

The Young Men's Party. {Halifax Herald.)

The success of Sir John Macdonald as a politica! leader is in no slight measure due to the fact that in his choice of ministers he has sought to keep in touch with the young men of Canada. Sir John himself is

a young “told man.” The late Hon. Thomas White was a young man. Hon. George F. Foster isa young man. Our own able provincial representative Hon. J.S. D. Thompson is a young man. Hon,

Messrs. Chapeau and Caron are also young men. It was not surprising therefore that a young manshould be selected in the person of Chas. H. Tupper, M. P., for the portfolio of marine aud fisheries. In fact, the liberal-conservative party is not only a# party of young men, but it embodies and voices the aspirations of the young men of Canada for a fall national life. a Ai = Re

A College Course in Journalism.

At Cornell University, Ithaca, arange- ments have now been made for a course in the elements of journalism, under the di- rection of Prof. Brainard G. Smith, which will be offered for election to juniors, seniors, and special students next year. The scheme will be emently practical in its purposes. After a preliminary course of lectures on the making of a newspaper, including the specific work of the various persous employed, the class will be organ- ized as the city staff of a daily paper, with the professor—who is a practical editor—as editor. The students will act as reporters

and their work will be carefully criticised. They will be instructed inthe preparation of copy, in condensation, in arrangement, and in minor editorial work. An effort wul be made to teach them to distinguish news, and the different importance of Various sorts of news. One of the main | effects of the course wil) be, it is expected, to disabuse student's minds of many foolish notions about journalism, while preparing them to begin work as newspaper men with aknowledge of practical details which is acquired ordinarily only by several years of unsutisfactory experience.

The anniversary exercises were brought to a cluse on Wednesday. The attendance st Lingley Hall was large. Mr. R. P. Alexande r delivered the valedictory. The degree of B. A. was conferred on Reginald Percival Alexander, Stanhope, P. E. L.; Aldren Allen, Albert, N. B.; Thomas David Blaikie, Great Village, N. S.; Edie Annie Elizabeth Burwash, Sackville, N. B.; Clarence Howard Casey, Amherst, N. S.; George Frederic Dawson, Campbellton, N. b.; Albert Charles Dennis, Margate, P. E. 1.; Peter Coftin Laverton Harris, Halifax, N. S.; William Jost Howard, Cornwall, P. i. I.; Fred Harris Pickles, Halifax, N. 8.; Sarah Hannah Letitia Shenton, Charlotte- town, P. E. 1.; Aubrey Cecil Smith, Sack- ville, N. B.

President Inch having handed them their diplomas, made a brief but feeling address. He said it was usual for him on behalf of the faculty to address a few words to the graduates. The task was a difficult one. He wished to offer them his congratula- tions on their arrival at this auspicious hour. As they were going from this in- stitution, he would urge upon them the principles whick had been pointed out to them while they were stacents. They went forth conscious of power and he pointed out to them the temptations and responsi- bilities that the consciousness of power brought with it. They left with the affec- tionate regard of ahe professor.

The degree of M. A. was then conferred on Rey. Dayid William Johnson, B. A., Herton, N. S.; Rufus Palmer Steeves, B. A., Woodstock, N. B.; Albert Bliss Pait, B. A. Sackville, N. B.

The honvuris causa were then conferred as follows : LL. D ° Professor A. R. Bain, M. A., Coburg, Ont.; D. C. L., Hon. Jus- tice Burbridge, M. A., Ottawa; D. Sc., Rev. John Burwash, M. A., Sackville.

ihe applause which followed the confer- ring of the several degrees was deafening

Dr. Burwash was obliged by the con- tinued applause to wake afew remarks. He said this was another tie that would bind him to Mount Allison. He had jong been connected withthe institution. A quarter of acentury ago he received his degree, and now he was thus highly honored by the institution. He took it as an ex- pression of the heart more than of judg- ment. He hoped God would bless the work and the institution.

Prot. Hunton announced that according to custom R. P. Alexander, who made the highest average in the whole course, was a lite member in the Alumni suciety.

In the Fine Arts Department we notice that Miss May Dawson’s pencillings are favorably spoken of.

depredations Athenian temples. Macaulay, in his cele- brated essay, evidently alluded to the des-

beautiful and Seotch Earl of Elgin in the early part the present century. He removed them to England and sold them to the Government in 1816 for £35,000 sterling, and they were still remain. Lord Elgin atthe time was act of vandalism, as it was called. Lord Byron wrote a fierce philippic on Lord Elgin for despoiling Athens of its Marbles, entitled, ‘* The Curse of Minerva.” Yours &c., Z.

information Given.

Sir,—‘* Quivis” asks for an explanation of a passage in Macaulay's Review of Mit, ford’s History of Greece. The allusion to the **depredations of Scotchmen ” is pro- bably in connection with the ** Elgin Mar- bles.”” Byron at a much earlier date gave utterance to the same idea :

‘* But most the modern Picts ignoble boast, To rive what Goth and Turk and time hath spared,” Childe Harold, Canto {{-—~XI-XIL.

Further search amongst Byron’s poems will, ] think, be rewarded by the discovery of further reference to the purchase and re- moval of the Elgin marbles.

In one of the leading histories of the thirty years peace, Miss Martineau’s, I find the following :

‘*In 1816 the House of Commons passed a vote for the purchase of the Elgin Marbles, for the sum of £35,090 stg. This was the first step the British Legislature had made in the encouragement of the fine arts. It was a step in the education of the people. Mr. Croker, who it appears was far in advance of his time truly and eloquently said : ‘The House had been warned in the present circumstances of the country, (the year after Waterloo) not to incur a heavy expense mere- ly to acquire works of ornament. 7 It was singular that, when 2,000 years aga, Pericles was adorning Athens with those very works, some of which we are now about to acquire, the same cry of economy was raised against him, and the same answer that he gave then might be repeated now: that it was money spent for the use of the people, for the encouragement of the arts, the increase of manufactures, the prosperity of trades, and encouragement of industry; not merely to please the eye of the man of taste, but to create to stimulate to guide the hand of the artist, the mechanic, and even the laborer, and to spread through all branches of society a spirit of improvement, @nd the means of sober and industrious affluence.’ ”

Mavaulay appears to have shared to some extent, Byron’s disgust at the removal of these and other masterpieces of ancient art. Possibly their ultimate destination might have been elsewhere, had such scruples pre- vailed—or worse still, these might, as many fine marbles, have found their way to the lime kilns! There, Mr. Editor, is, I think, a subject for debate, say next win- ter; Was the removal of the Eigin Marbles justifiable, under the then existing circum- stances / ’ I remain,
