SENATOR CCLLOM has introduced
little bill that will be of interest to th
Utah legislators. According to law th
government is in the habit of advancing
the expenses of the territorial courts

loin s bill enacts that the secretary o

DAKOTA , like a circusis billed for al
it's worth. There are now five bills be
fore the house committee for the ad
mission of the territory , either for the
whole of it or part. These are the
tFoseph bill , to divide the territory on
the forty-sixth parallel and create the
territory of North Dakota ; the Frederick
bill , to admit the whole territory this
yearj'the Springer bill , for division OT
the Missouri river and securing a popu
lar vote by the plan of. minority repre
resentation on the question of division
and admission ; Senator Butler's bill ,
which is simply an enabling act for the
whole territory ; and the Harrison bil

WHILE bogus lords from the conti

nicely across .the water. Vicky Wood-

extremely wealthy English banker , Mr.
Martin , of Lombard street. But the
dashing Tennie has gone her sister one
better in capturing Sir Francis Cook ,
who has lately been made a baronet by
the queen for his1 benevolence to lady
art-students in Kensington. Sir Fran
cisvas a widower when he fell under
Tennie's eyes and he quickly succumbed
to her charms of conversation. The
same fascination which drew the New
York brokers to the tapes of the tickets
in Broad street house of Woodhull &
Claflin attracted the two wealthy Eng
lishmen to the London parlors of the
firm in Westminster , as Lady Cook , the
queen's drawing rooms and holds the
rank over 'her untitled sister. It is a
strange wo rid , but cheek and persistence
in some cases are leading trumps in the
game of life.

Matthews will deliver the address to the
Ann Arbor law students at their gradu
ating exercises , June loth , 1880.
The services of the late John D. Phil-
brick , one of the foremost educational
men of the country , were most admira
ble commemorated in the X. E. Journal
of Education , which demoted its whole
space to tributes to Mr. Philbrick by
prominent friends.
On Monday , March 1st , a telegram
was received from Chancellor Manatt ,
stating that , if agreeablebe would visit
our city either on March 3d or 4th. and
deliver a lecture , which had been pre
viously arranged. As the opera house
had been engaged for Thursday evening ,
it was found necessary to arrange for
the lecture Wednesday evening. March
3d. Accordinglyonly a small audience
appearedby reason of the inclemency of
the weather. The Chancellor prefaced
his address by stating the purpose of
his visit to McCook , namely to examine
the school with reference to placing it
upon the accredited list of the universi
ty. He made an earnest appeal to our
people urging the necessity of maintain
ing good schools. The mission of the
university is to complete the workinau-
urated in our public schools. The
university is doing a grand work , and is
taking rank with the leading educational
institutions of the land : its faculty in-
ludes men who are chosen from the
jest specialists in this country and
Europe ; its instruction is thorough and
comprehensive. The testimony of Mod
ern Science as it bears upon Material
ism. The address was a scholarly pro
duction , showing fine mental vigor , and
) sychological research. AVe only regret
hat more of our people were not pres
ent to hear his address. Thursday was
spent in inspecting our school. His re-
) ort was most encouraging and is a
sLisaulous to higher attainments.Iau
uscripts of examinations in different
tudies will be submitted to the faculty
nd a decision rendered relative to our
icing placed upon the accredited list.
Vc arc ulad that our citizens have had
* f
he pleasure of meeting Chancellor Ma-
attj and to know that we have a man
t the head of our university who is so
mincntly qualified for the position , and
o witness his sincere earnestness in the
ausc of education.
