The jirinclpnl bminosa before the board of regents so far has been the examining of Iht- reports of iho heads of depart- inonls.

The move to bring the1 high tchools into closer coinmnnion with the university vas inaugurated about two years ago. Already there lire seventeen of the e sehools on the accredited lis-lof feeders to Iho university ; the. pupils c-omlng there from being admitted into the university on credentials of gradimtion. The report of lieutenant Dudlny shows a rapid increase in number * and interest in the military department , in the com panies are about 100 caduts. On accQiml of lack of room il is unptusiblo to have drills except in pleasant weather , thus depriving tlio companies of this privilege during a major portion of the school year. llo recommends an appropriation of & 20,000 for the erection of an armory nnd gymnasium , llic building lo bo known as the " ( Jrant Memorial Hall.

Hridenstono and Charles Oxford. This coinmiltoo was recommended by the Stale Medical Society. Jt is probable the board will ask for an appropriation of $ : n,00l ) for erecting a building for the in- iltistrial college , in which tlio branches of agriculture , civil engineering , me chanics' arts and practical Hcienei ! shall be taught , as contemplated by the act of congress endowing this college. borne liinu airo a committee of the faculty communicated with members of the legal fraternity as to the advisability of establishing a law school. J'ho answer's were almost unanimous in favor thereof. The board , wishing to get more infornw- 011 the subject , passed a resolution to ap point a committee to confer with the blato Har association , and if m Iho judg ment of the members such a departure Is needed , then to secure theirco-oporation. This association meets while thu Icyisla- turu is in session. The reports from the several depart ments .show that the work done by the MiidonIs is of 11 very creditable nature , and that their general demeanor has been gootl The completion and equip ment of the chemical laboratory .makes this department equal to that of any in stitution in thu country , nnd the large number of .student * taking the scientilic course shows that this liberal fippropua- tion is highly appreciated. The build ings are boated by steam , and the plant is ono of the lineal in llu- state , and is a remarkable changn from the old steve sp.ilem , which was in vogue until lnf3ear \ , and the risk from lire lias been proportionately decreased.

The soss-ion thus far lias been a scries of adoption and rejection ami revision of the rules governing the educational insti tutions in the stiitu under this denomina tion and the relation thu schools alruadv established will bear toward the univer sity itself , when established. There is a great diversity of opinion among bielh- ren regarding thu filiations and Htamliiurs ot thu Methodist school * in operation ami especially tire the mumbi-rn from thu western part of the state ( .landing up tor Ihesn schools and watching thatthuydo not lose their identity or tno good name they luivo already gained as etlucationol institutions. Up to the noon hour yesterday the ncslion of location hail not re-ached uvou U isoussion but it was very evident that this question came in as an intlncncu. ovury stop of tlio wny thus far taken , ami numorons complaints were made that it was in a great measure the oauso of the dilatory proceedings. It was evident yesterday that the ilrift of sentiment for thu location was favorable to Omaha ami several reasons combine lavorablj to this pofnt , The principal are that thu delegates from tno Western Nubraska oonforeneo have no competing point in their jurisdiction but tnoy are anxious for the success of Mallaliou uni versity at Hartley , and some of them are anxious to c.stablUh a college in north western Nebraska inClmdron the country. I'or this reason they will Ineatu thn uni- Surbttv so that it will conflict as littlci ns iiossiblu with local schools. Thu north Nebraska conforunco is divined betweuti Central City and Omaha , und thu Ne braska conference has both Vork and Lincoln as contestants within its borders.

It was quietly staled yestonlay. but frnmnn uxcellont source , that Secretary of Stale Laws hail selected Hen Cowdry , of Columbus , for his deputy , and the news of the selection seemed to give ov ccllont sathfaclion. Mr. Cowdrv is nl prow-iit one of the sccrctarles'ot tno rail road commission ami none of thorn rec ognize more than himself the incllicicney and u = cles9iiess of the commission as nl present constructed. Hen presumably roeogni/os thai Hie legislature will make short work of the abortion when it as sembles and therefore is not lolh to accept the position of deputy sec-rotary of stute which is a p'a !

NeKon McDowell , of the secretary s force at present , it Is under stood , will be rt'tniiifd , and he is to the ollice well nigh indispensible , a Ids MX years' service has caused him to bo posted as lo the exact pigeonhole win re every paper liot and the routine in the secre tary'sofllec is not easily learned.

The judge found for Iho defendant - fondant , Mr. Lansing , in the case , which will now go to a higher court. The other decision reached was in the Kaufl'man-Iiraco case , in which the Kuufi'innns sought to have n real eslalo deal set aside. It seems that some time since a trade was made , the KaiilVmans Iradinj'ahonsc and four lots in Hast Lincoln with Brace for certain school lands and leases. The trade was made before the boom in Lin coln realty and the . Kautl'mans trailed to gel a stock farm , whieli in the ea > "o tried they claimed they did not get and the land was not as represented. Judge llayward in this case tound for the de fendant Draco and the case , like Iho oilier one ciled , will probably go up higher. TCMfKlIANPn AT MINDKtf. Senalor-eloel Lewis A.

Tin1 Hones of Ktiormotto Hcnst.i Kx- Itiiincil in Spokane County , M' . T. Tnconm ( W. T. ) Daily LedgerW. . M. Lee , the well known fruit grower of Tii- coma , gives the particulars of a wonder ful discovery of bones of extinct animals in Washington territory , which will at tract the attention of the students of natural history aud urclueologv all over the world. In u lellcr to "the Ledger from Spokane Fall ? , just received , he says ; The face of the whole territory showa unmistakable evidence of great volcanic upheavals. On my trip through Spokane county 1 slopped at Latah , and in convocation with Mr. Coplen of that place , rcg.ij'dinp the volcanic formation of that section , no informed me lhat ho had examined some largo bones of great antiquity. Accompanied by Mr. Coplen I went to the spring where the idles were dug out. it is located on n strip of springy prairie. Tlieexcavation around thu spring Is twelve or fifteen foot deep ami thirty or forty feet across. The bones were covered by .several distinct layers. The lirst layer was ancient peat , then gravel , then volcanic ashes , then a layer ofcoarsope.it. From this spring were taken no less Uian.nino mammoths , or elephants of diflcrcnt si/cs , the remains of a cave boar , and hyenas , extinct birds , aud a sea turtle. Mr. Coplen kindly pre sented my with nonio specimens of these relics. The dimensions ot seine of the bones of the larger mammals wcro won derful to look at. The horns wcro a kind of n lusk and protruded from the head just below the eyes , extending downward below Iho jaws , ( lion upward over Iho hfjid. lly dioppii.g the head in Iho act of feeding the circle of the horns that oxtondtid below the jaws partially rested on the ground , giving support to the head , which is estimated to have weighed a ton. The horns were worn away several inches deep at the bottom of the turn or half circle , indicating constant use by rubbing on the ground or rocks. One of these horns was ten feel and one inch Jong and twenty-four inches in circum ference. It weighed 1-15 pounds. Ono of the tusks measured twelve feet and nine inches in length und twenty-seven inches round. It weighed ? ! T > pounds. The jaw weighed hKt.y-thrco pounds. The molar teeth weighed eighleen pounds each. Some of the ribs were eight feel long. The pelvic arch was six foot acro-s , anil an ordinary man could walk erect through this opening. This huge and antique monster was eighteen feet and siv inches high , and was esti mated lo weigh twenty tons. Ju.st imagine far back in the misty bygones genes of antiquity , probably before Iho appearance of man upon the earth , that Washington Territory was the homo of these monstrous animals , that roamed over the great prairies , traversed the Col umbia river , and made the genial climes of Pugct Sound their haunts in winter. It matters not what the theories may bo in regard to these imbedded bones of .such huge proportions ; why iso many of them were piled together in those .springy places ; what period or ago the animals lived , at what time the great change took filaco which made thorn disappear from the continent ; whether they lirst made their appearance in this part of America and whether or not it was then a tropical climate. IMaccd on tlic 1'iMinion Jji t. lialtiinore Sun : Captain hcwib llailoy , a veteran passenger conductor in the service of the. Baltimore and Ohio Rail road , on Friday ot'last week took Jus last trip , tin- company having pensioned him atl.'J5 per d.iy. lie is feixty-nino years of ago and is still halo and aeliye. and would have preferred to continue in ac tive service. Captain Bailey began in 1811 as fireman on the old Winchester and Potomac railroad , running from Harper's Ferry to Winchester. In 1818 ho was made conductor of a freight train and in ISlfi ho was promoted to pas senger conductor until the road was burned during the war. After its rebuilding and extenlion to Strasburg ho was Mill conductor , und then the road xvas finished to Hurrison- burg and then Statinton , and three years ago it was completed lo Lexington , Cap tain Bailey extending his ' run with the completion of each division of the line , llo never had an accident in which any of his passengers wcro injured. He is comfortably well off , and owns a hon.se and lot in Wjnchcbtor. In 1811 Bailey was at a .station seven miles east of Win chester delivering wood from his father's farm to the railroad company , when a freight train with.eight curs came along. The engineer , who was also conductor and liroman , asked Balloy if ho did not want a plaou to act as fireman , 'o which the latter gave an allirmativo anstvorand ut once began duly. The roud jcn had strap-iron rails. Arizona Obituaries. Ari/omi Howler : With a ghoulish glee seldom equaled in An/.onu journalism , the pultv-faco editor of the Paraly/.er an nounced the other day that we are dead , and printed our obituary.

" MOUNTAIN FORTRESSOF A KING. * LJmldliHt Plonks nuil Ulrls-A. Hnnl I load to . _ Travel. A coriTsnomlcnt of the Sail Francisco Chronicle , write ? from Seoul , in Corca , snys : On n bright September liny our little party went at the invitation of the King of Corea to vhit his famous moun tain retreat. One plucky laily was to ac company IB. A Foiltin chair nail boon wovitlinl for her , but slits preferred a hone. Early in Iho inorninu we wcro stirring about trying to set a look at our ponies without encountering their heels. Having made selections ami gotten the pear well arranged , wo prepared to mount. A foreigner , with his expanse of leg , rightly-fitting jacket , red hair and ominous looking hat , always seemed to strike terror to this mind of Corean pony. Tim poor brute lias iieen so accustomed to long whlto robes which wholly obscure the lignres of their beardless riders in tlicir butterfly hats , that the tight cloth ing of a western man gives him a sort of a devilish appearance. It is not un common in passing a group of women to hear them oxelaini with genuine amazement : "What is it ? " As thti ponies arc nl o somewhat skeptical , it often takes a number of grooms to hold one while the foreigner approaches and mounts. Oneo monntid , however , bar ring a few kicks and the fact that we could not get the ponies out of line , wo joggpil easily along with our lady friend taking th" load. Leaving the city by the west gate , we soon pasted n large gale or arch standing alone in the middle of the road , whieli was unite broad at this place. On cither side wore good build ings opening upon large stone platforms , as though meant for some Kind of audi ence chamber. This gate and ils accom panying buildings commemorates ono of the successes of China. The road upon whieli it stands is the high road to China by way of tiie northwest border. A tele graph line now follows iho road and con nects Seoul with IVking. It was a pleas ant morning ride of thirty li ( about ten English miles ) . The broad Chinese road soon after leaving the triumphant nrch parsed through a very deep and uirticiik pass , cut in a tortuous course out of the solid rock , which rose on one side to a di//.y height and would allow of u small , determined band doing much damage to an invading army by rolling lingo sioncs upon then. ( Tuny now nave Gallimr guns , and one of them could command this pib . ) UP TO mi : roimiKss. After getting through the pass our pourtio was winding , but upwards. The view was not extensive , as wo were shut in on all sides by high mountains , be tween whieli lay pretty valleys yellow with the crop of rice , .and bordered on Iho hilsides by cool , shady pine groves. Our road at last became a path , and finally got to be so rough that wo were obliged to di'-n.oimt and walk the rest of the way. Winding around a deep , rocky gully , with sloping bidet , of smooth black rock , we came to the gate in the wall of the fortress. The gate was so placet ! as to command the winding approach. It is constructed of huge blocks ot stone , and the wall which it pierces is quite a strong one , vunnsng down across a valley be tween two peaks and allowing the mountain stream which drains the fortress to pass out beneath it. The scenery from the gate to the heart of the fortress was grand and in spiring. The wooded , rocky peaks rose high on cither side , while the little valley was lilled with huge fragments which hail fallen from the mountains. Ever and anon we would get glimpses of litele sil ver waterfalls away up near the clouds , while below us the mountain stream had in many places hollowed out line stone baths , with cushions of soft , clear saatl , whieli looked indeed very inviting. Al though it was a hot day , wo were at such an elevation and were so exposed to the wind as it swept up the tortuous valley that wo could not sit long in a quaint lit tle pagoda like building built on natural stone pillars in the midst of the little stream and commanding a line view of rugged peaks and dainty waterfalls. Pushing on we soon came to a largo IJud- dliist temple , which seemed to bo the cen ter of the place. Horn wore numbers of priests with smoothly shaved heads , pe culiar round hats und of course , their heads , Wo pleased them by going in to gaze on their sleepy liudtta mid admire their sweet-toned bronzebell. . A COKKAN i'r.4t.r. . At this place we found the officers and band of music sent from the palace for our entertainment. Wo took our seats ( chairs ) at the table , drunk American beer , coffee , champagne , ate potted meat , and biscuits from England , smoked Uor- man cigars and nibbled at the C'orean dainties. While wo feasted on foreign articled in this weird , unknown place in a hitherto unknown country , the oll'uct was heightened by the strange , wild music , which at times became quite mo notonous , but would then twell up and seem to parlakoof the untamed nature of the surroundings. After two hours of this entertainment WQ strolled out to gut n better look ut the king's hiding place. On the north wo fonndtho walls of the place to consiet of three very high peaks of apparently solid stono. One wo called the "sugar loaf , " It resembled some what the dome of St. Paul's , and was as even in appearunce as though it had been hewn out From these j > oaks u ridge shuts in the place down to the month of the val ley , which is protected by a wall. Within still another wall Inrthcr up the valley , another succession of peaks und ridges , forms the Inclosuro on thn south and we&t , The hills are not so high in the oait , and are consequently capped by a wall , as is aNo the south fehlu. Proceeding south from the lluddist tgmplo we pulsed other articles ol food , i'l such ( imintitics as would be necessary for withstanding a long M < igo Indeed there is so much fertile even watered soil in the several square miles inclosed .by the walls ami peaks that it would be hard to starve out the occupants of the place. Wo inspected the palace erected for the king , to bo Ubcd in the ca---e of necessity. It was somewhat out of order , but could easily bo repaired , and life in it would ccrtumlr bo plei unt uith the line accmor.y all about. AN KX'lXNSlVl ! jVJUW. From the palace ji long ascent brought us to Jho southwest gate of the fortress , from the gallery of which we obtained a mag- nilicent view of the sea and Island ? , BOIIIU forty miles distant.logethcr with the coun try intervening. Ships could also be soon tit the porjt , thirty miles distant. While the Ilau river , whieli connects the port and capital by it * eighty miles ol uncer tain wandering , lay like a great lazy snake before us. We had refreshments again at this place , and u pany of dancing girls sent from the palace , met us hero and helped in our entcrtuinnuMit. Tina srato leads direct to the city and an attacking force would not bo apt to nt- tempt tp PIXBS it. Jt could be very easily held however. Jts approach is a stoop rugged duliio between two mountains , Ihu path follows a serpentine - pentine conrso , where travelers mus.tgo single lilc , and in pluoes a misstep Wtmid plunge one.down u stucjr precipice. Also , in many places there are paths iuude around a high lull of granite-sand. With n f w shovels the retreating 'party could destroy this path and get ln ido the gate , while the pursuers were finding an un certain path lower down. The ptith seems to bo left in as rough and no- glectcd n condition ns In possible In order to make it loss useful to nn enemy. The king himself takes still another Iway , only reached by a private gate in the- palace wall. This road loads lor much ol the distance over a lidgc ot granite sand , which is kept well rounded up all the time , but as soon as his majesty ha.i retreated across it it Is destroyed , and pursuit by this path is hopeless. Judging by tho'tronblo wo ex perienced in coming clown the dizzy'palli an enemy would have a hard time going up. As U was , only one of our parly was hurt , llo g ot , to going too fast over n sleep sand ridge , and not being able to catch hold of anything to stop Ida head long course , his legs refused to keep up with Ids body and he fell , susmininrr ti slight injury. II. N. The Klrnl Kcoii Twinge. As the season advances , the jtain < < and aches by which rheumatism makes itself known , are experienced after every ex posure. It is not claimed that Hood's Sarsaparilla is a specific for rheumatism wo doubt if there is , or can be , such a remedy , lint the thousands benolitted by Hood's ' Sar.saparilla , warrant I's ' in urging others who MiQVr from the rheu matism to take it before the lirst keen twinge. _ Some Sweets 1'or Mrs. Henry lirown in the Cosmopoli tan : A cream made of confectioners' ? ugar is Iho basis of all uncooked candies - dies ( Confectioners' sugar is another name for XXX powdered sugar , costing 10 cents a pound.

Chicago Herald : "One of the funniest incidents that over cnme under my no tice , " suul D'Alvini , the conjurer , "was out in Cheyenne a week or two ago. In our magic performance wo use a cabinet. and while iho 'spiritual manifestations are going on therein all the lights are turned oil * in the building. This evening two or three of ns were feeling a little glum , and we put our heniK together tmtl made UP pur minds that we'd do some thing tp liven up the performance. .In all conjuring shows , yon know , there is n board walk from the stage down to the center aisle of ( lie auditorium. We call this the 'run-down. ' Well , when this cabinet act was on two of us who wc.ro not engaged started out to have some sport The lights were to bo out only thirty seconds , so we had no time to lose , As soon as the gas was turned out wo skipped down the runway and into the aisle. There wo banged around lively among the spectators , hitting one a mil- hand clip on the lace and then another , Dulling their hair , bumping two men's heads together , and playing all such pranks , and its quick us lightning. Just before the lights wore turned on wo .skipped back onto the stage anil into the wings , und there slopped to watch the sport. As soon as the light came we saw that there was great commotion in the house. Fifteen or twenty men were on tlicir feet , and half a do/.eti were lighting with each other. One man had knocked his neighbor down under the seal , and another had his two hands into the hair of the man sitting next to him , Revolvers vers were drawn , and it tiucjincil that everybody was accusing everybody else of having taken advantage of the dark ness to play mean tricks. Jt was ten minutes before wo could gel the house quieted. " _ _ The Voltaic licit Co. , AtnrUinll.

The death of Tin-Tu-Ling , observes a Paris correspondent , cannot bo said to plunge oven the Chinese nation into mourning. Thi child of the celestial empire , who did us the honor to tuke up his abode among us , did not obey very strictly the pivcoptb of Confucius con cerning Irnbits of austerity. llo was al ways to bo seen in the company of ladies who were not ovuutly pinks of morality. Ho used often to say , with a rollicking laugh that would pun" out h'u yellow rheoKM : "I loud at Paris the life of aDen Don Juan. " Under the pretext Unit he was a " ( Jinnose man of li-lttirst , " Tin-Tu- Ling used to drop in at the newspaper ollieud ami lay bunds on what theater tickets ho could find , It has since been discovered that it wis with this sort of paper that ho paid for Iho pleas ures which he obtained in certain quarters of the great capital. Such bargains can be driven only by a John Chlmumui. This strange individual was so clover that ho succeeded in being adopted by Thcophilo ( iaulior. and lie- came later the prolcge of Guuticr's .daughter , Alme.

J don't Know whether he retained nn exact knowledge of his own tongue , but I am tjuiic curltiln that ho spoke French and 1'iirUittn slang with rare perfection , Tm Tii Ling \\ub a jack of till tnulos lie has old tea , screens , opium and Chinese grammars. During the singe of Paris he had zx mo mentary desire to take to arms , and en listed among the "Friends of France , " n battalion composed wholly of foreigners.
