There was Beauregard, the favourite son of Louisiana, who immediately succeeded him in command of the army; there was Bragg, his energetic and indefatigable chief of staff; there was Buckner, who so gallantly fulfilled the chieftain's orders, by the herioc but fruitless defence at Donaldson.

"It is remarkable, too, that among this distinguished assemblage there were three men, Beauregard, Bragg and Hood, who had each in turn succeeded to the command of the army upon which the life and the death of its first leader seem to impress a peculiar character and a strange fatality-an army, whose history was illustrated by so many heroic deeds and so many signal misfortunes-an army which seemed to have inherited its heroism from his life and its misfortunes from his death.

the loss of freedom. Moreover, the treatment of the bar was not always such as to encourage much mental vigor. Lord Mackenzie relates that one day Gallicus was pleading before the Emperor Claudius, near the banks of the river Tiber, when the advocate, having irritated the Emperor, was by his orders thrown into the river. Some days after a client of Gallicus brought his case to Afer, the most celebrated advocate of the age, and requested him to plead it before the Emperor. Who told you,' said Afer, 'that I was a better swimmer than Gallicus?

7. ROMAN LAWYERS AND THEIR FEES.

SCHOOL EXAMINATION IN ERFRID.-On the 19th December, the half-yearly examination of S. Section, No. 17, in the Township of Ekfield, taught by Miss M. Campbell, was held, and on the next day December 20th, the examination of S. Section No. 6, taught by Miss Mclntyre, was held. These Schools were examined in all the branches generally taught in our Common Schools, in the presence of the Local Superintendent,

pupils in all the branches taught. Various appropriate addresses were given by the Local Superintendent, Trustees, and others. At the conclusion, the pupils of each School, presented the Local Superintendent, with an address, accompanied with a purse, well filled with Canadian Currency, as a token of their affection, and their appreciation of his services among them, and his interest in their secular and religious training.—Com.

At first the Roman pleaders received no remuneration beyond the services which every client owed to his patron.-Subsequently, when law had become a difficult science, it became the practice for clients to reward their advocates by making them presents, which (to evade the Cinctan law passed to prevent this) were disguised as secret loans. Before the fall of the republic these fees equalled in magnitude the largest fees known in modern times.

-LAVAL UNIVERSITY.-It is said that the Rev. Mr. Brunet, of Laval University, will replace the Rev, Mr. Langevin, the newly appointed Bishop of Rimouski, as Principal of Laval Normal School. The University of Laval has founded three medals for competition, which will be annually awarded to the three best scholars in French poetry. They will be embellished with a design representing the arms of the University, and be of gold, silver and bronze respectively. The first subject for competition, next May, will be "the discovery of Canada."

BRITISH AND FOREIGN. WASHINGTON COLLEGE, LEXINGTON, VA.-A Richmond paper, remarking on the prosperity that has attended this ancient institution since the appointment of Gen. R. E. Lee to the presidency, thus speaks;— "Applications for the admission of students continue to pour in from all the States, but mainly from the South. It is thought, from present indications, that Texas will send the largest number, next to Virginia. Gen. Lee's own estimate for the next year is three hundred students, and we all QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY.-A meeting was held in the Convocation Hall of know that he is never over sanguine.

It was perhaps the desire felt by the public to learn something of the nature of this change, and also the growing interest which is being taken by the people of Kingston in the affairs and success of the Arts department, that led to a very full and highly respectable audience being present at this meeting. There was a good attendance of students, and the hall was filled with visitors, both ladies and gentlemen. Introductory addresses were delivered by the Principal, the Rev. Professor Mowat and and Dr. Dickson. The proceedings were concluded with the benediction.Kingston Cronicle and News.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.-The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge has fixed the "Atlantic Cable, 1866," as the subject for the Chancellor's English poem medal for next year. The Sir William Browne medal for Greek Lyrics is to be given for the best poem on the Prince of Wales at Petersburgh, and the subject for the Latin Ode is, the November Star Shower.

CALENDAR OF THE MCGILL COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY.-We have received a copy of this University Calendar, got up with all the preciseness and care one would expect from the learned body which controls its operations, and printed with the greatest neatness and taste by Mr. Becket. It consists of eighty-eight pages, and, as will be seen by the table of contents, affords every possible information relative to the University itself, and the Colleges and Schools affiliated with it Following the Almanac for the Academical year, which commences in September, we have the names of the Governing Body, General Announcement, Officers of Instruc tion, Faculty of Arts, List of Donations, Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of FREE PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARIES IN U.

LOWER CANADA EDUCATION.-His Excellency the Governor Genera was pleased, by an Order in Council of the 15th October, 1866, to approve of the Resolution of the Council of Public Instruction, recommending that in view of perfecting as far as practicable our system of Public Instruction, and giving the best possible direction to Education in the interest of the youth of the country, it is of the utmost importance to compare the system adopted and the results obtained so far in Lower Canada with the systems and methods pursued in other countries, and that in consequence the Superintendent of Education should visit Europe and the United States at an early day, and report to the Goverument the result of his and observations, as well as the suggestions which he may think proper to submit with regard to public instruction in this country. His Excellency was pleased accordingly, by said Order in Council, to grant leave of absence to the Hon. Pierre J. O. Chauveau until the 1st May, 1867, for the pur. pose of carrying out the instructions contained in the foregoing resolution. An address was presented to Mr. Chauveau by the employees of his depart ment, prior to his departure for Europe. His Excellency the Governor General in Council was pleased, on the 6th November, 1866, to appoint Louis Giard, Esquire, M.D., Deputy Superintendent of Education for Lower Canada, under the powers conferreed by the Consolidated Statutes of this section of the Province, Cap. 15.-Lower Canada Journal of Education.

1. An ordinary Common School Library in each school house, for the use of the children and rate payers.

2. A General Public Lending Library, available to all the rate payers of the Municipality.

3. A Professional Library of books on teaching, school organization, language and kindred subjects, available to tea

chers alone.

4. A Library in any Public Institution, under control of the Municipality, for the use of the inmates, or in the County Jail for the use of the prisoners.

We cannot too strongly urge upon School Trustees the importance and even necessity of providing, (especially during the autumn and winter months,) suitable reading books for the pupils in their school, either as prizes or in libraries. Having given the pupils a taste for reading and general knowledge, they should provide some agreeable and practical means of gratifying it.

The Chief Superintendent will add one hundred per œent, to any sum or sums, not less than five dollars, transmitted to the Department by Municipal and School Corporations, on behalf of Grammar and Common Schools; and forward Public Library Books, Prize Books, Maps, Apparatus, Charts, and Diagrams, to the value of the amount thus augmented, upon receiving a list of the articles required. In all cases it will be necesssary

for any person acting on behalf of the Municipal or Trustee Corporation, to enclose or present a written authority to do so, verified by the corporate seal of the Corporation. A selection of Maps, Apparatus, Library and Prize Books, &c., to be sent, can always be made by the Department, when so desired.

Catalogues and Forms of Application furnished to School authorities on their application.

*If Library and Prize Books be ordered, in addition to Maps and Apparatus, it will BE NECESSARY FOR THE TRUSTEES TO SEND NOT LESS THAN five dollars additional for each class of books, &c., with the proper forms of application for each class.

The one hundred per cent. will not be allowed on any sum less than five dollars. Text books cannot be furnished on the terms mentioned above: they must be paid for at the net catalogue prices.

SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOKS AND REQUISITES. Application having been frequently made to the Department for the supply from its Depository of Sunday School Library and Prize Books, Maps and other requisites, it is deemed advisable to insert the following information on the subject.

1. The Department has no authority to grant the one hundred per cent. upon any remittance for Library or Prize Books, Maps or Requisites, except on such as are received from Municipal or Public School Corporations in Upper Canada. Books, Maps and other Requisites suitable for Sunday Schools, or for Library or other similar Associations, can however, on receipt of the necessary amount, be supplied from the Depository at the net prices, that is about twenty-five or thirty per cent. less than the usual current retail prices.

2. The admirable books published in England by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and by the London Religious Tract Society, are furnished from the Societies' catalogues at currency for sterling prices (i. e. a shilling sterling book is furnished for twenty cents Canadian currency, and so on in proportion.) These two catalogues will, as far as possible, be furnished to parties applying for them. Books suitable for

AND COMMON SCHOOL RETURNS.

All official returns which are required by law to be forand which are made upon the printed blank forms furnished by warded to the Chief Superintendent, or a Local Superintendent, the Educational Department, must be pre-paid, at the rate of one cent, and be open to inspection, so as to entitle them to pass through the post as printed papers. No letters should be enclosed with such returns. A neglect to observe this regulation has repeatedly subjected this Department to an unnecessary charge of 14 cts. and 21 cts. on each package, including the Post-office fine of nearly fifty per cent. for non-payment.

INDISTINCT POST MARKS.

In the course of the year, a number of letters are received, omitted. These marks are often so important, that Postmasters on which the post marks are very indistinct, or altogether would do well to see that the requirements of the Post-office Department, in relation to stamping the post-mark on letters is carefully attended to.

PRE-PAYMENT OF POSTAGE ON BOOKS. According to the Postage Law, the postage on all books, printed circulars, &c., sent through the post, must be pre-paid by the sender, at the rate of one cent per ounce. Local Superintendents and teachers ordering books from the Educational Depository, will therefore please send such an additional sum for the payment of this postage, at the rate specified, and the Customs duty on copyright books, as may be necessary.

It possesses the following advantages:-1. The ink is not liable to be spilled; 2. It effectually protects the ink from dust; 3. It prevents evaporation, owing to the covers and the small size of the aperture; 4. It has facilities for cleaning, but, the cover being screwed down, does not allow the pupil to take it out at his pleasure; 5. It is not, like glass, liable to breakage.
