where it Uounaheil for twi centuries or more,
under ita chartr granted by William and
Mary, and Hai rani, its older rival, waa for
yoara its stipendiary.
Tho glory of the old dominion, aa cxomplificd
lh "Middle I'lautatiou," is a half -forgotten
memory. The very tombstone and moss-covered
moaumeiiU of tho early colonial govern
ors and magnates, are yielding to the corrod
ing baud or time, and Williatn and Mary, which
tho loyal adherent of Church and king hoped
would porpctuate liberal learning and respect
for establinhed rule in tho Now World, exiata
only in a ground of decaying college halls.
There ia no place in Virgiuia whore one may
moro profitably study what remains of tho old
regime, or take notes of tho readjustment of
Virginia in hor relations to modern progress
and civilization, than this point
As Willianisburx is ropresontativo at the
land-owners who, until the civil war, held al
most baronial eway in eastern Virginia, to to a
great extent is William and Mary Collogo typi
cal of tho ancient eoat of cnlture and learning.
The town has about the same population that
it had two hundred years ago; certainly no
more than when Sir William Berkeley was
ruler here under the Stuarts. The place aeems
to have neither increasod nor decreased in all
of two centuries or more.
I stopped here primarily to visit 'William and
Mary College, and incidentally also to study
Virginia society and characteristics in a place
where their strongest points would bo most
likely to come out in bold roliof. My compan
ion was a young Philadelphian, a graduate of
Ilirvard. Thre was nothing to disturb tho
primeval solitnde of the villago save a lively
set-to between two colored boys, for the privi
lege of carrying my valiaa from the depot, and
tho victor in the contest made up for this by
demanding douMo price when he reacho I the
hotel. A short walk brought mo to the court
house sqnaro across which a plank walk the
only otio in town and perhaps the ouly mu
nicipal improvement of tho kind undertaken
for fifty years, had been projected a
few days before. There was no conten
tion between hack drivers for our patronage,
for they are unknown in Williamsburg. The
first siroet-croBsing on tho way was marked
Duke of Gloucester stroot, by which nam9 it
has been known einco the foundation of the
city. Another wa-j marked Naau street, an
other William street, and the entire uomencli
tnro carried one back to tho time of William of
Orange and beyond his day.
The walk through tiie v.llage to the college
took us through tho principal part of tho
town, and at the fame time gave us a fair idea
of it. About one-half the houses were hipped
roofed, wiih dormer windows, after the style
of the better class of residences still found in
the old towns in New York first t et.lod by the
Dutch. The roofs were covered with moss
aud hVheiiB. and were green with age. Though
it was the middle of tho after. ioon, the
streets were almost as qniot as Goldsmith's
decerted viilags. On our way we passed the
Episcopal church, a flue structure built on the
model of an English church of the better
grade and covered with a luxuriant growth of
ivy. The hand of the city church clock in the
steeple had stopped at half past 1 1, and on in
qui y as to how long time hd ceased t j be re
corded, a passer told us that it had stood so for
rive years.
The college buildings of William and Mary
were in a lair state of preservation. The de
sign for their construction was furnished by
Sir Christopher Wren, tho architect of St
l'aul's. in London. In the middle of the walk
Ira ling tip to the main entrance was a statue
of Berkeley, Baron Botetonrt, erected in his
m-.-mory by tho house of Burgesses of Vir
ginia. "Liko the college, his lordship has un
dergone many hardships A vandal soldier
during the late war knocked off his head with
a canon -ba'L It was cemented '.n pla e again,
but ever since his lordship soems to bo suffer
ing with a crick in his neck. He was also
made a target for ritlo practice by the war
riors, and in conse-i nonce a good part of his
loi dehip's nose is mibsing. causing him to pre
sent a plebiau and generally disreputablo ap
pearance. We wandered about the place for some time
without teeii g anyone. A colored man, who
was engaerd in mending a broken ax-handle,
at last told us that we would probably find
I olonel Lweli in tne main building. A march
though the doerted halls was without result,
and we mad a detour to another part of the
grounds and returned after an interval. By
tliis time there was a group of live urchins
playing marble on the front steps. They
were the sole represtatives of the tine corps
of students, the rlower of Virginia and the
onth, who once filled the place. One of tho
lads conducted us to a wiq, where he said we
would find Tresidont Ewell, a brother of the
celebrated General Ewell. of Confederate
fame, by the way. The president had his head
quarters in a large room, one end of which
was filled with astronomical instruments and
apparatnses used in demonstrating natural
philosophy, the other with a lot of fenee-posu
and chips.
ti.ese few salient points will give one an
idea of the college, the second oldest in Amer
ica.and one which, if it hail not been spoiled ef
its ante-revolutionary grants, would now bo
the richest not only in America, but in the
world. One can not realize the chango better
than bv imagining Harvard, with its centuries
of rich historic associations, reduced to the
same Mate.
The institution brought down to these
truita, without regular classes, or, in fact, any
students since 18:4, gave Washington the only
certificate in the nature of a degree ever be
stowed on him namely, a certificate as sur
veyor. It was here "that Thomas Jefferson
6tuliod moral phi osophy and history aud im
bibed the principles which in after " life ha so
thorongh'y imbued iuto his followers, and
which survive h.ru long after ho hinis?TT has
mouldered into dnt. Three presidents
of the United Stateji graduated here

Justice Marshall waa a student in tho
eclleee. and thongh he took no degree.
was for a long time one of the board oi visit
ors. In addition to being graduates, Jefferson
and Tyler were also residents of Williamsburg
after closing their college car-jer. Amo g
other alumni were fifteen Unite 1 States sena
tors, four signers of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, thirty-seven state and United States
judges, seven cabiuet officers, inclu .itig Wm.
Wirt, Winfield Scott, Bushrod Washincton,
John Randolph and a long list of names almost
qual in luster. When the college w..s fouuded
it was fondly hoped to make it for the aristo
cratic Virginians the Oxford as well as the
Westminster of their possessions in tho new
world The ancient pile ia now but a monu
ment to tha schol istic days of its distinguished
ons, spent w.t-.iii its wills.

A Tinker's Ham.
New York San.
What is a tinker's dam? Why should a tin
ker want a dam, and of w hat nse is a dam to
a tinker, in or out of his profeaaion? Graphics
As our esteemed contemporary is in pursuit
of information, we wiH reply that a tinker's
dam is a dam of dough or other suitable mate
rial, constructed by a tinker to confine his
molten solder to the business at hand ; aud
that, inasmuch as when a tinker's dam has
once served its purpose it possesses little or
no commercial vaine, the phrase has come to
be a frequently nsed and almost universally
understood synonyme for worthlessuese.

"You think you know it alL now," said the
grocery roan, "and yon are pretty intelligent,
for a boy that has been brought np carelessly,
but there are things that yoa will learn after
while that will astoulsh you. But what ails
your pa's tooth. The hired girl waa over here
to t'et xoiiii cor': .Meal for gruel, and aho said
your pa was gumming It, since Le lost hi

ing I horned pa'a loath before he g')t np.to see
if we couldn't fix them in tho dog's month, so
he could eat butter, l'a says it ia an evidence
of a kind heart for a boy to lie good to dumb
animals, but its a darn misan dog that will go
back on a friend. We tied the teeth in the
dog's mouth w ith a string that went around his
under jaw, and you d dide to nee how funny
he looked when he laffed. He looked junl

i he dog pawed his moutn a spell to get the
teeth out. sic! then wo gave him a bone with

and the teeth eamo off the plate, and bethought
it was pieces of the bone, and hu swallowed
tho teeth. iuy chum noticed it nrsi, sua no
said we had got lo get iu our work pretty
quick to save tho plates, slid I think we wore
in luck to save them. I hel l tho dog, and my
chum, who was butter scquaiute I with him,
untied the strings and go'., tho golJ plates out,
but there' were only two toeth loft, and tho dog
was happy. Ho wogglod his tail for more
teeth, but we hadn't any moro. I am going to
give him ma's teeth soino day. My chum says
when a d'-g gets an appetite for anything you
have got to keep giving it to him, or ho goes
hack on yon. But I think my chum played
drt o.i me. Wo sold tho gold plates to a jew
elry man, and my chum kept the money. I
think, as lo:ig as 1 furnished tho goods, he
ought to have given me something hosidn the
experience, don't you? After this I don'l have

I will tell you first what you will be glad to

He is liviug in the heart of the city pleasantly
and quietly. He is not. however, in entire se

cording to their "own sweet will, which is the
ruling power with tho rising generation.
Wo continued our conversation, after their
departure, with more easo. Our train of thought
naturally led to tho subject of immortality and
kindred subjects, and brought us to the discus
sion of.Dr. J.;R Nichols Vbook, "Whence, What,
Where?" It is attracting a groat deal of atten
tion from thoughtful minds in both liberal
and conservative circles. The poet
had evidently made a thorough t-tndy of
it He expressed himself as having been
much gratine.l by its perusal, in itself consid
ered, and also from the fact that it gave him a
pleasing anrprtHO to rjid such a look from
tho pen of Dr. Nichols, whom he had regarded
as devoted to exact scien-e in the life that now
is, rather than to rvsn:itial aud spirit uh I
meditation upon tiia life to come. I was glad
to find that we agreed iu thinki.ig the chapter
on death the finest in the book.
