DR COPPER AND THE LEIIIOII UNIVERSITY.
—Dr. Coppee, the President of the Lehigh Uni
versity, Is, we understand, expected to return
home In the course of a few weeks from his exten
sive European tour. this many friends will be
very bapyy to welcome him anow to our Valley,
and the University nt Bethlehem will doubtless he
the gainer from the varied experience which such
an attentive observer Is sure to gather Iron, a visit
to the great Universities at Oxford, Cambridge
and elsewhere. No one can travel through such
elassk ground ne has lain within Dr. Coppce's
route, and mingle with such distingutshed schol
ars as those to whom he has so readily attained
access, without adding largely not only to his
stores of learning, but also to that enthusiastic
devotion to study and resent eh which. already
signally marks his literary life. We therefore
congratulate the University upon the near ap
proach of its President's return, and earnestly
hope that with the advantages thus .reaped by
him, this noble Institution may commence Its new
year with even greater assurance of SUCCCSN and
a determination upon the part of all concerned in
its welfare to realize to the utmost the beneficent
&Mans of its honored founder. We doubt not that
the Doctor will make this his chief aim, and wo
bespeak for bins the hearty . cooperation of all
lovers of and practical knowledge. .
Already the University's graduates have ob
tained positions of honor and Importance, and we
shall be surprised if their Alma .3fat;w ever have
reason to be anything bat proud of them.—Eus

SUNDAY FUNEDALS.—The Easton Free
Press says that on Sunday last, in most of the
churches, an announcement Wll3 made, that
while a ' majority' of the clergymen in town
would discourage funerals, they would not
hesitate, but they would gladly assist in the
burial or the dead in their official capacity.
Tim • majority' of our clergymen have un
th ■'aedly been judged falsely in this matter,
and now that they have made public mention
of their position, we hope the public will give
them just credit..
We clip the above from the Easton Express:
A more ghastly announcement we never read.
The clerymen are said to have announced
with dreadful inconsistency,,that they would
"di.seourage funerals" and '• gladly assist" in
the burial of the dead. Now as to discour
aging funerals, we must say, without people
are to be denied the privilege of dying, it Is
rather unrortunate from a sanitary point of
view, that the clergymen should attempt to
do away with that useful institution, the fu
neral. But, we are told that, "in their of
ficial capacity," they will " gladly assist" in
the burial of the dead. The only conclusion
we can draw from this is that in private
life the Easton clergyman will endeavor to
"discourage funerals" which in themselves
are quite discouraging enough, and, officially
he will go into the busint•ss of interment with
ghastly joy.
We are glad toi sec that the " Free Press"
tells them plainly that "they have been judged
falsely" and certainly think they deserve
" credit" from the public for their extraordi•
nary behavior—that is of course if the Easton
" Free Press" and " Express'' have stated
the matter Eddy.

OUR ARKANSAS LETTER
LYMAN, Pons CO., Aux., July 11th
It was quite a relief to leave Little Rock, for
the excessive hot weather—the thermometer
being 102 0 in the shade—madeit very uncoul
fyrtable for one unaccustomed to a Southern
clime. For four days I was compelled to re
main In the "city of roses," before a boat
touched at the wharf, bound for up the river.
It chanced to be the Dardanellc. She had
discharged her Chinese deck hands, and Major
Adams, President of the Memphis and Arkan
sas River Packet Company, who had employed
them, set them to work on a farm, where they
will probably be of more service to their em
ployer, than they would were they retained in
the employ of the Packet Company. The it..
regularity of beats running on the Arkansas'
River, renders traveling tedious and inconve
niant. This is partly remedied by a stage
line connecting Little Rock with Fort Smith.
Tri-weekly stages are run, and, in spite or the
jolting passengers receive While crossing the
mountains, the stages are, in most instances,
filled with travelers, who prefer paying
twenty-five dollars and incidental expenses,
to slaying in Little Rock and waiting for a
boat. Yet many are compelled to do so. be
lug unable to pay the enormous price charged
by the stage company;
Leaving Little Rock on the night of the 29,
ult., in the morning, we found ourselves near
the mouth of•Pelnrm Creex. On either hank
arc mountains almost perpendicular, while the
bottom lands ill the valley stretch far int,. the
interior. As'very little of this land is culti
vated, we pass but few houses, and an (occa
sional hut, occupied by wood choppers. Af
ter passing Cadron river, at present the ter
minus of the 1,. It. C S. IL IL, we came in
sight of Lew isbiurg. There most of the land
on the mirth side of the river is cultivated, and
is very productive. At sundown we arrive at
Galley . Rock, and, grasping my " carpet bag,"
I go ashore, and proceed to the home of Mr.
Lewis, an old resident of Arkansas, whose
hospitality I enjoy until the following day.
Hiring , a Mustang I start for 111111. AV. A. Stu
art's, circuit Supt. of the 0111 District,who 11101
informed, lives "a right smart good little
piece" from Galley Rock. Evening found me
nt his hone. Mr. Stuart is an lowan, but has
been living in Arkansas since 'O5. Like many
others, he lost considerable ill trying to raise
cotton in '6O. Last winter 1w moved 011
a homestead two miles from Russel ville, and,
although the surrounding country still pre
sents a wild appearance. yin his family
seem to find enjoyment in their surround
ings, and prefer this Stale to the North.
Mr. Stuart reports the school system in his
District is gaining adherents, and that it is
working admirably in every county but Ibis.
No school tax was levied in this county last
year, consequently but few teachers can be o h.
tained. To the illiterate (and they are, not
lAnv) it is immaterial whether their childien
grow up in ignorance or have the privile4o of•
Intending school. During the months ol•.luly
and August, when there is no corn or cotton
to hoe, they consider it hoe warm to sit in a
school room all day, and their children must
therefor stay at home. 1 :till happy to stale,
however, that such is the case only ill certain
localities, where the system is regarded with
disfavor, simply because it was intnalueed by
Northern men. A colored school was re
cently started neat Lewisburg, but, the teacher
was threatened with death, and, fearing they
would carry their threat into execution, he
"lit out." The only coloied school ever
taught in this county, was the one taught in
Galley Rock last )'cur. It is doubtful whether
they will succeed in obtaining a teacher this
year, for no one seems to be willing to take
charge of it. There are scarcely any school
houses erected throughout the county, and
schools are therefore generally ; held in churches
which are, in most cases, old log cabins.
Scholars must furnish their own desks, if they
wish to writel Teaching school under such
circumstances is not very pleasant.
Republican clubs are being organized in
different parts of the State, preparatory for
the campaign next fall. In '6B, many negroes,
being intimidated by threats voted the Demo
antic ticket, and, as II result, there wa?. but a
slight Republican majority, since then, a great
many emigrants have come into the State,
most of them from the South Atlantic State,
nearly all of whom are in sympathy with the
Democratic party. Others, who served ill the
Federal army, and for 801110 time were associ
ated with the It^publicau patty, have turned
the cold shoulder, and gone over to the enemy.
Unless Republicans act promptly, and with
more 'harmony than they have been doing
lately, the Democratic party will succeed in
electing at majority 01 Representatives to the
Legislature, at the fall election.
Corn . and cotton in this part or the State
look very promising, and will yield more than
an average crop. Green corn has been in
market for nearly two weeks. Wheat was
poor, 11111 . 1 did not yield half a crop. Fruit is
a failure. U. S.

bllity of this certain remedy, which prove, it be
yond a &Mtn to be 811111 e plinth I have however,
foundby an analysis, that It Is not a chickweed as
stated In the article, nor Iran It the faintest rela
tion with that family of plants. I presume It Is
wrongly so called because the general appeAratice
of tire plant, Its infloresenee and filletillentioll, re
semble 011 r represent,•ttive of the chickweed family
in this latitude very much, but in appearance only.
The botanical name as given In the article (An
gelic l'Auiticea) is given without authority and we
cannot determine therefore whether the plant may
have over thus been called or not (I have my
doubts whether k IMF) but according to the reve
lations of the sclunce by our modern botanical
authors we do not even hind In tire whole vocabu
lary of Famllles,Tribes, Subtrilles, Genera, Sub
genera and species of plants that are known by
the title, Angelic. The plant In question I Owl to
