Free Scholarship I" U'O Slate College.
The Executive -Committee of the
Board of Trustees of the Pennsylvania
State College have determined to es
tablish 11 fly free scholarships In the In
stitution one for each Senatorial dis
trict In the State. All tuition in the
college Is already free. These scholar
ships, In addition to the tuition, will
entitle the holders thereof to exemp
tion from tho payment of other college
charges, for incidentals, room rent,
fuel and use of furuitmren ..-
It Is believed that this can be done
without adding materially to the ex
penses of the institution, whilst its
bcnellU w HI be enlarged to the extent
of these scholarships.
The conditions are that the scholar,
after a competitive examination of the
studies required for admission, receive
the Hppointmcut from the Senator of
his district, and that said scholar be nt
least fifteen years of age, of good char
acter, and fully prepared for admission
to the freshman class. The student so
appointed slmil be entitled to the ben
efits of his scholarship for the four
years of his college course, provided
that his conduct and class-standing be
satisfactory to the faculty. So soon as
a vacancy occ.irs, from any cause, the
Senator of the district shail linye au
thority to till the scholarship by a new
appointment, under similar condi
tions. The subjects for examination fur the
year 1881-2 are, for all applicants, the
common English branches, physical
geography, higher algebra (to quad
ratics), geometry (4 books), and United
States history. The special require
ments of applicants for admission to
the scientific course will be (he ele
ments of natural philosophy; the spe
cial requirements made of classical
students are Ciesiir (8 books), Cicero's
Orations (!), and Xciiophon's Ana
basis. A student whose qualifications
fall in some respects below the stan
dard, but are In others so much above
that standard as to give a reasonable
hope that lie will make up his deficien
cies, may he admitted on probation.
Should no one present himself who is
entitled to enter as a freshman, a well
qualitied applicant for higher class
standing may be admitted.
Senator Hall has appointed Messrs
George R. Dixon, of itidgway; J. B.
Johnson, of Wilcox; N. II. Scheiick,

oute a sho.t lime since. It had been

iJtlll bllil Itl'il.'II 11 KIloW t'l tll't lOA'll.
Then he was ill a prosperous condition-
He had hinds, money, horses,
sacred catl'c, and a reputation equaled
by few men on earth. Oil thai occa
sion the pavilion was filled. Dan was
in his happiest, niood. But an acci
dent happened One of the seats ave
way and struck in its fall the limb of
Mrs. Judge Connolly, and broke it
Rice employed and paid the'fidioute
physicians for their services. He told
Mr. Connolly to go to Gir.ird and pick
out the best horse from his stables.
Mr. Connolly mow Judge) iH'ir po'.;e
of legal damage, neither did Rice.
Tiie hitler was not pclsoluilly to blame
for the accident: but lie regretted it
and showed ti willingness to pay.
Judge Connolly took his order, went
to Girard, picked out his hoie. The
limb got well in a Miort time, and the
lady is still living. On Rice's last
visit to Tidioute he remembered the
accident. He loofeid up Judge Con
nolly, gave him tickets to his show;
he was invited to dinner, which invi
tatiou he accepted. He ate and talked
several hours, told of his conversion
to temperance, told till about Murphy,
and all about Moody and Sankey and
the mechanical methods to bring about
repentance, of the money they make,
how they buy up influence as they no
into a new town, and how they man
age to gobble up the profits from the
sale of their song books, and how Dan
got left by them. Their income, he
avers, is very large, tihd these two per
auibulaliugshowmeii arc more wealthy
than many persons suspect. Their
methods were such that Dan Rice, the
circus. man aud ('lown could not toler
ate them, and took up Ihe purs'uit'of a
clown iu preference to being a Moody
and Sankey saint. Iu the evening he
put on the mottled suit, entered the
ring, aud made a speech which pleased
his auditors. He told, lu conversation
with Judge Connolly, how he hap
pened to withdraw from the canvas
several years ago, when he was a can
didate for Congress. In conclusion lie
told Judge Connolly that he was t lie
most singular person he ever met in
bin travels, us he was the first and only
person whose family got injured by
attending his show, who did not
threaten or tlid not in fact sue to re
cover damages. The Judge thought
there wus 110 use in talking sue to so
generous a man, and the consequence
is they are good friends, though oiie a
clown the otUer a judge. Warren

TOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
'1
It Is a most ngroe.iblc dressing, which,
's itt once harmless and effectual, for pro
tcrving the hair, It restores, with the
(tloss ami frailness of youth, failed or gray,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness ,ofteu
though not always cured. . It checks falling
61 the hair immediately, and. causes a new.
growth in all cases where the glands arc
not decayed ; while to brushy, weak, or
otherwise disused hair, it imparts vitality
aud strength, and renders it pliable.
The Vioon cleanses the scalp, cures nnc
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by lis cooling, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of tho
humors and diseases peculiar to the ecajp,
keeping It cool, clean, and soft, under
which conditions diseases of U14 scalp and'
hair are impossible.
...I,
A3 a Dressing for Ladies Hair,'
Tho Vioon is incomparable. It is color
less, entitling neither oil nor dye, nd will
not soil w kite cambric. . It. Imparts an
agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an
article for the toilet it is economical and
unsurpassed iu ils excellence.
