The ceremony of conferring degrees in the
University of Edinburg takes place in the
Eprlng. Onr uniTersity is not yet famished
Xrilh a common hall. In this respect it is at
present surpassed by Glasgow, which has in
the Bate Hall one of the finest academic
halls in the kingdom. This deficiency is,
howeTer. in conrse of being splendidly sup
plied, for the McEwan Hall, now a-build-ing,
promises to be at least as magnificent as
that of Glasgow. It is the gift of Mr. "Will
iam McEwan, a wealthy brewer of Edin
burgh, and one of the members of Parlia
ment for the city, and its cost wtll be nearly
5600,000. In the meantime, the university
holds its collective meetings in the Synod
Hall, on the Castle Terrace.
The annual laureation, or commencement,
bs yon say in America, affords an excellent
opportunity for seeing the celebrities of the
university grouped as it for a picture. It
is a gay and interesting scene. The body of
the hall is filled with some hundreds of
young men wearing academic caps and
gowns and hoods, distinctive of their diflei
ent degrees, all looking bright ana happy in
the prospect of receiving the reward ot their
labors; but many ot them bearing in their
pale laces the outward and visible marks of
the examination ordeal through which they
have recently passed. The galleries are
thronged with their friends, most of them
ladies, who have come to see them capped
"with the erudite hand of Chancellor In
fills." A LOOK AT THE CHANCELLOR.
The chair is occupied bv the Chancellor of
the nnivertity, and round him are clustered
the members of the Senatus Academicus and
the honorary graduates. The Chancellor is
a man worth looking at. He is John Inglis,
the Iiord Justice General, or Piesident, of
the Court of Sessions, the Supreme Law
Court ot Scotland, a man ot power in Eiiin
burch, and beyond it, in many capacities.
He was elected to the Chancellorship in
18G9, in succession to Lord Brougham. He
owea his election partly to his personal mer
its, no doubt, but chiefly to the lact that, as
Xord Advocate, be was the author of the
universities bill of 1858, which re ormed the
constitution of the Scottish universities, and
started them on a new career of unexampled
prosperity.
Mark him well; he has a strong Scottish
face, bespeaking a will that is not easily
thwarted, lie is the greatest living lawyer
in Scotland, and he has had few equals in
the past. He is also a Tory ot the Tories,
and there are few things done by his party
in SLOtland in which his firm hand is not
concerned, though it never appears on the
surface of things.
That solemn looking elderly gentleman
sear him, with gray hair and beard, is Sir
William Aluir, Principal ot tne university.
He is a venerable looking man, with mild
and lack-luster eyes,, which indicate an
amiable and benevolent character. He is
in his 71st year.
CEXEBBATED HIS GOLDEN "WEDDINO.
The celebration ot his golden wedding on
the 8th ot February last was an occasion oi
great rejoicing in academic and fashionable
circles. Sir William's reputation was made
long ago is an administrator in Jndia,
where he reached the high offices of Lieu
tenant Governorof the Northwest Provinces,
and Financial Minister, and finally was
appointed a member of the Suprpme Coun
cil. He has also a literary reputation as
the author ot a standard "Lite of Mohomet."
His election to the office of principal was
due, in part at least, to the lact that his
eider brother, Dr. John Muir, a distin
guished Oriental scholar, was the founder ol
the Sanscrit chair in the university, and
tendered it important service in other
Ways. The principal is also vice chancellor
of the university, and takes a deep personal
interest in the moral and religious welfare
of the students, with whom he is a great
favorite.
Near the Principal there sits a man with
Strongly marked leatures, a keen eye and
grizzled beard. That is David Masson,
pro essor of rhetoric and Euglish litera
ture; the friend of Carlisle, whom he resem
bles in many features of character, and
znore and more iu personal appearance He
is undoubtedly and far away the greatest
man of letters now living in Scotland. Even
in the university he is a ciant among pig
mies. When all the professors around him
are forgotten he will be remembered as the
author of "The Life of John Milton and the
History of His Time," not only the greatest
work on hi subject, but one of the few books
produced in this country that will live en
duringly. A FEIESD OF CO-EDUCATION-.
In politics he is a strong Liberal, and he
has made himself prominent as an advocate
of the claims of women to participate in the
higher education and in the learned pro
fessions. His style is undoubtedly ponder
ous, both in writing and in sneaking, but it
is full of matter and profound in thought.
He is a most effective lecturer and orator,
seizing with strong Aberdonian grip the
points which strike him as most material,
and pounding away at those with a peculiar
rotatory action oi his clenched fist which
helps to drive conviction home. Though GS
years of age, he is still lull ot fire and vigor.
When a student grows indifferent or
troublesome, Masson has a quiet war of
putting him down, or pulling him up, which
rarely mils, Not long ago he was annoyed
by some students reading an evening news
paper in his class it meets at i o'clock in
the afternoon especially on Fridays, when
College Kens is published. One day a
student took out his newspaper as soon as
the lecture began, and read it right under
the Prolessor's nose. The Professor seemed
to take no notice of him. In the course of
his lecture, however, he had occasion to
speak of newspapers in a literary connec
tion. He came to the words, "The char
acter of a newspaper," then, pausing lor a
moment or two and fixing his gaze on the
offender, lie continued, "is not such that it
should be read in theBbetoric class." If the
young man had had a bucket of cold water
thfbwn over him he could not have looked
xnore miserable. The offense was not re
peated. CHAB3IIKG AT EIS FIFE.
Delightful as Masson is in his classroom,
or in general society, he is most charming
when you meet him with a few select friends
over a quiet pipe. His reminiscences of his
college days at Aberdeen, and his descrip
tions ot tellow students, are wonderfully
racy and graphic. He has also delightful
stories immediate and personal, and not
hearsay of Douglas Jerrold, Dickens and
Thackeray, whom he met frequently d tying
his residence in London. In many respects
liaison's position in Edinburgh is unique,
both as a teacher and as a man of letters.
The melancholy-looking sage beside him,
with the dreamy eyes and the untidy beard,
is Prof. Camobell Eraser, who succeeded the
great Sir William Hamilton in the chair of
liOgic in 1856. He is 71 years of age. He has
been 34 years a prolessor in the university,
and is now the latherot the Senatus. A few
months ago bis old students and other
iriends presented him with his portrait,
painted by George Eeid, E. S. A., as a
token of their regard for him; and, in truth,
Wjisn-ii a. mntt lovable man. The smile that
constantly plays on his kindly face is An
index ot his mild and genial nature. Fops
ten years belore Ms appointment to nis
present chair he was professor of Logic in
the Free Church College of Edinburgh.
OTHEB MEN OF NOTE.
Around him there clusters a group of art
proiesEors, some of whom are men of note.
That tall, ungainly figure, resembling that
of an overgrown schoolboy, belongs to Prof.
Sellar, an elegant scholar of the Oxford
type, and well known to the learned world
by his criticisms of the Boman poets. The
joung man beside him, with the classic face
and dark mustache, is Prof. Butcher, in the
chair of Greek. His prose translation of the
Odyssey, executed in collaboration with An
drew Lang, is the most vivid and delightlul
of all the English renderings of the great
epic
His classroom is right under that of the
professor of Logic Campbell Fraser and
the noise and tramping ot feet which seem
not inconsistent with the pursuit of tbe art
of reasoning sometimes disturb the academic
repose of the Greek grove. On one of these
occasions the noise became intolerable.
Butcher closed his book, abruptly saying,
"Gentlemen, Prof. Fraser'a conclusions do
not seem to agree with our premises." Be
yond Butcher we see the pugnacious, self
assertive face of Henry Calderwood, once a
TT. P.clercyman, aud now professor of Moral
Philosophy.
A GBEAT PHYSICIST.
Beside him tits Peter Guthrie Tait, pro
fessor of Natural Philosophy, and one of
the authors of "The Unseen Universe. In
oppearance he is a modern Koger Bacon or
Michael Scott, of Balwearle. He is cer
tainly one of the greatest physicists of the
day but in everything outside of the scien
tific sphere he is wonderfully narrow
minded and bigoted. His neighbor, Prof.
Crvstal, holds the Mathematical chair. He
has been called "Ths Differential Calculus
in Spectacles." .
When the medical graduates come up for
presentation, the list is readout by the
Dean of that Faculty, Thomas Kichard
Fraser, Professor of Materia Medica, His
delicately cut and highly intellectual
countenance bespeaks a finelv strung nat
ure. His reputation as the foremost phar
macologist in Great Britain marked bim
out, in the opinion of the scientific world, as
the fittest man to succeed the illustrious Sir
Bobert Chnstison in the chair he now holds.
He is one of the most successful and most
pleas mt lecturers in the university, and his
genial and gentle nature makes him a uni
versal favorite.
A MANT-SIDED MAN.
Even in these respects he must yield the
palm to the venerable Sir Douglas Mac
Lagan, the Professor of Medical Jurispru
dence and Police. His carefully dressed
hair and curled whiskers give the impres
sion of a man who is conscious ol the posses
sion of good looks. He is in his 78th year.
His fame as the University laureate, being
author of the "Condisci Puli Canamus," a
favorite students' song, will endear his name
to many generations oi students yet to come.
His most striking feature is his many-sidedness.
It has been well said of him that "He is
a medical man accomplished all round;
trained first as a surgeon, aiterward as a
family physician and now a consnltant and
lecturer on clinical medicine, a medical jur
ist, teaching the lawyer medicine and the
physician law, an expert in chemistry and
toxicology; a skilled analyst, good alike for
an opinion in applied science or in a trial
for murder; one of the calmest, shrewdest
and most sal -respecting witnesses that ever
stood in a witness box; a musician few
purer tenors have ever sung; a poet, an
archer ot the Body Guard, a fisherman, a
shot, a telling speaker lor a good cause and
a faithlul triend. He is not one man, but a
battalion."
HIGH SALABIED MEN.
In that respect MacLagan is run very
close by CrumBrown.the professor of Chem
istry. 'Of the other medical professors not
xnnch need be said. Sir William Turner,
with a strongly developed head, suggestive
of the tenacitv of the bulldog, is not only a
great authority on anatomy, he is also a
successful administrator and a manager of
men. He and Prof. Crura Brown divide be
tween them tbe enviable distinction of be
ing the best paid men in the university, for
their incomes, according to recent Parlia
mentary returns, approach very closely to
the 4,000 limit. Science, in their hands, is
evidently not a beggarlv pursuit.
That sharp-featured and active little man
beside Turner is Prof. Anuandale. the
achievements of whose knife are now as
well known in America as they are in Great
Britain. The one outstanding figure in the
Faculty of Divinity is that ot Prof. Flint,
who has been represented, not inappropri
ately, as a champion of tbe Church Militant
clad in panoply of steel. He has essentially
tbe face of a s'tudent, lean, fallow and with
severe, deep sunken eyes. Evidently, also,
he is not a man to be trifled with either in
philosophical or ecclesiastical controversy.
It is reported of him that when a student
had finished a trial sermon in his class one
day, Flint said to him, "That is a verv good
practical discourse, Mr. M., but it has no
connection with the text."
While we have been scanning faces and
making notes the business of the day has
been going forward. Now, there remains
only the address of the Promoter to the
newly enfranchised graduates, and there
after a short service in St, Giles' Cathedral,
which closes the ceremonies of an Edin
burgh commencement.

An Inscribed Pig Recently Found In England
nod iIib Story It Tells.
London Illustrated News.
In Januarv last a man plowing in a field
called Bowdales, adjoining "The Cliffs,"
near South Cave, on the old Boman road
leading to Brough, East Yorkshire, the
Boman station where a ferry crossed the
Humber, came upon a pig of lead, measur
ing 22 inches in length, Xt inches in
breadth, 4J inches in depth, weighing 9
stones 9 pounds, which bears the following
inscription in raised letters: C-IVL-PBOTI-BBIT-LVT-EX-AEG.
A portion of the
blocK appears to have been cut off, but for
tunately without defacing the inscription.
An account of it having been submitted "to
Mr. Haverfield, a well-knowu authority on
Boman inscriptions in England, he
replied that it was no doubt a relic
of the Boman lead trade. About

A. Roman Pig of Lead.
70 inscribed pigs of lead have been found in
various parts of the Boman Empire.of which
46 have been found in our island, and a few
of the others for instance, one lately found
near Boulogne may have been the product
of British mines. Some bear the Boman
Emperor's name, others the names oi pri
vate individuals, probably the lessees of the
mines. The title maybe expanded: Caii

ms, British (lead) Irom Lutudse, prepared
from silver. C. Julius Protus was the cap
italist who worked the mines, and the mine
itself was at Lutuds, a place which wm
probably in South Derbyshire. The lead is
said to nave been prepared irom silver, be
cause the silver was always extracted, and
the more valuable metal gave the name.

makes strange fel
lowships. You have
already read of this
Spanish dancer's
sudden fashionable
vogue in this town;
how several artists
gave admiration to
her contortiye poses,
and some Fifth ave
nue people followed
suit, whereupon she
ftly'fjlfv became a transitory
rac. xir&i, tuc
modish women would not think of going to
the disreputable beer garden in which she
performed, but would only look at her
when she was brought into their respectable
presence; but now, in their always adventur
ous spirit, the swells have taken partial
possession of that usually tabooed resort.
Every night they make up parties and sit
in the rows of boxes that fill the galleries,
witnessing the stage variety show in which
Carmencita is a feature, but interested still
more in tbe Blum scene spread out in the
auditorium below. A crowd is th ire smok
ing, drinking and chattering, Varery paying
much heed to the performance, and present
ing a spectacle which well-behaved ladies
seldom get the chance to see. This is a
curiously bold demonstration of "our best
society," and it serves well as a climax to
their town season of exploits.
A DOVE SKETCHING FABTT.
A coterie of more artistic young ladies, of
whose doings I know, but who are less in
the public eye than the McAllisters are.will
soon go the Catskills on a sketching expedi
tion. As a preliminary, they have read the
descriptions of the mountain scenery there
in Bryant's poetry. Cooper's novels and
Irving's tales, under the guidance of Prof.
Boyesen, of Columbia College. Thus pre
pared to seek out and appreciate the Catskill
sceuery, they will make their headquarters
for a month at the Kaaterskili Hotel, in the
center of these famous views, and will de
vote a fair share of their time to sketching
them. That seems like an un'rivolous and
excellent enterprise, and the partv con
cerned in it are the daughters of some of
our rich nabobs.
Anything to kill time. Anything to lift
the heavy weight of ennui or brighten the
dull life of boredom. "French betting" is
the name of a new game jnst introduced
into certain New York circles. Each guet
receives a slip of paper, on which to make
six bets, writing them out and signing the
slip. Then the lady ot the house gathers
them up, and proceeds to decide the bets,
keeping the name of the bettor till the end.
Now, the betsmnst relate to something per
sonal or peculiar about those present and
be something that will require considerable
aplomb to verily. For instance: I bet that
Miss B. has false teeth; I bet that Miss C.
has the smallest feet in the room; I bet that
Mr. A. does not dare show the contents of
his letter case; I bet that Mr. D. has the
largest bald spot; I bet that Mrs. J. has the
smallest waist, etc "French betting"
promises to become a favorite game.
A beauty's annoying fad.

has a little private fad of her own that dis
tinguishes her from the herd. The most
persistent and consistent worker of a private
fad that I have yet known is a fine-looking
girl who was married in a Fifth avenue
church a few days ago. This girl has been
in society for three seasons, and in all that
time she had been remarkable for her beauty
and lor a rather irritating eccentricity
She made a practice of always being a
trifle late at an event. If there is one point
upon which etiquette roots itselt it is on the
demand of promptness at every engagement.
This beauty was perfectly aware of this. It
took her just a few weeks in the early part
of her first season to discover that the guests
at any sort of a lunction arrived almost in
a body during the five minutes prececding
the appointed time. She noted that by con
forming to this custom she became lost as
an individual, and her arrival was not taken
the account of that she felt it deserved. It
wastheathathostsandhostesses began to note
that this imperious child invariably kept a
dinner waiting for fully five minutes. When
she did come her fresh, hearty, lovely en
trance dispelled the impatience of the
entire company, and she had the satisfac
tion of feeling that she had made an im
pression. TBE GLORIOUS CLIMAX
As I have said the unique girl was mar
ried a few days ago. The groom was at the
altar at the stated time. For 15 minutes
the clergyman, tbe organist and the audience
were impatiently awaiting the advent of the
bride. When the good humor of the occasion
had well nigh been exhausted the doors swung
back and the bride appeared on the arm ot
her father. The latter looked nervous and
worried, but tbe girl was fairly radiant in
the proud consciousness that she had brought
her fad to a glorious consummation. How
far the new wife will carry her habit in the
domestic exercises is an interesting question
that her husband will not be likely to an
swer. Tbe indefatigable and interesting girls on1
Murray Hill have been watching ProfTI
John L. Sullivan, Mr. Joe Lannon, ,lr.

very superior beauty of Mr.jHy Madden.
There are few men, it is jfrly well known,

startled and excited yonng lady sat, and his
da'k, piercing eye met her tender blue one
fairly and sympathetically. The look that
he saw there evidently deprived him some
what of his skill as a pugilist, for Mr. Mo
Auliffc not only jabbed him quite success
fully and with discouraging repetition in
the face, but once he lauded a punch in the
soft part of Mr. Madden's stomach that
caused the handsome gladiator to double up
and gasp in rather an awkward manner. '
This aroused ev.ery bit of pity that the fair
and worshipping maid in the box could feel,
and with quivering lip and eyes that looked
in the glare of lootlishts as though suffused
with tears, she tore a bunch of pansies from
the bosom of her dress,and, leaning forward,
threw it boldly straight at Mr. Madden. It
struck him in'the face, and he lunged out to
meet bis antagonist, who he thought was at
tacking him.
Upon realizing what had happened the
gallant Mr. Madden stooped for the flowers,
cast a radiant look of gratitude at the blush
ing girl who threw them, and then, after
lilting them to his lips, fastened them into
his belt From that -time on the contest
was his. Iu the two following rounds he
knocked Mr. McAuliffe about as though a
new inspiration of strength and skill had
taken possession of him. Upon finishing
the bout he umastened the flowers irom his
belt, pressed his lips once more upon them,
and with a respectful, though tender bow
toward his lady, vanished to the strains of
victory irom the band.
TWA DOGS.
A great deal of hnmor can be extracted
from tbe small incidents of the street, if
they are viewed with a genial eye. There
is a robust and fair-faced girl who possesses
two very excellent dogs, one of them a fine
and famished-looking white bulldog and the
other a sleek and elegant black poodle,
shaved after the most approved designs and
braceletted in silver. There is one peculiar
feature about these two dogs, and it consists
ot the relation borne by one to the other.

ing a stout leather strap attached to his
brass-studded collar, and instead of being
led by his voung mistress, whom he adores,
he must submit to following the poodle,
which holds the end of the strap in his
mouth and hauls the bulldog about when
ever, or whatever place, he wishes. There
is something humorous in this alone if only
looked at correctly, but its natural drollery
had a higher effect added to it when the
bulldog discovered a large Newfoundland
dog lollowing a child on the opposite side of
h trpl Hb Attracted the attention of
the poodle to the Newfoundland, conveying
to his guide bv what looked almost like a
sad smile and a wink that he desired to
cross the street and make the Newfoundland
do tricks. But the poodle was a sage and
peaceable animal, and he refused to allow
the bulldog to depart.
INTO OFEN BEBELLION.
At first the fatter obeyed the mandate,
but he suddenly grew rebellions and stopped
short, pulling the poodle clear about and
indicating that he intended to interview
that Newfoundland. For an instant the
poodle endeavored to hypnotize the bulldog
by the superior concentration of his dicta
torial eye, but to no avail. The other was
surly, and that he contemplated an open
mutinv was presently noticeable to the on
lookers. He dragged the poodle across the
street toward the Newfoundland, and despite
the fact that the faithful dog sat squarely
down, and bore tbe chafing of the pavement
with heroic equanimity, it was plainly ap
parent that the bull would sooner or later
reach the Newfoundland unless something
interfered to prevent.
That something presented itself in the
shape of the handsome young owner of the
dogs, who happened to glance over her
shoulder at the opportune moment. She
took in the situation at a glance, and with
a graceful bound she was out among the ve
hicles to avert the calamity pending. The
beautiful black poodle was by this time lying
flat with the bull still pulling him over the
ground, thereby despoiling his immaculate
fur, but not quelling his determination.
The instant the bulldog recognized his mis
tress, standing above him with a short wnip
upraised in her hand, he cowered down and
shut his eyes to receive the two sharp raps
that tell over his shoulder:. Then be looked
at the poodle meekly, took a sorrowtul
rrlnncR at the retreating Newfoundland,
and announced . himself ready to be led
quietly on as before. The poodle shook the
dust out of his curls, dropped the strap just
long enough to bark at the bulldog as though
in reproach, and then taking up the strap
again led his vanquished prisoner along at
the heels of the pretty girl.
