[ New' York Horali Cable Special to ttie BKK. ] No man couli desire a greater tribute to his scientific repu tatlon that Prof. Vlrchow recently obtained not only in Germany , but in England am America as well. Several very eminent mcd leal authorities were of the opinion that enl ; a very dangerous operation could save th crown prince trom UeaOi by cancer. Uefor using this operation the different specialist agreed to submit the case to Vlrchow's decis ion. Accordingly three small pieces wcr cut from the diseased portions of the throat each piece In a section not bigger than a pen It may fairly bo said that Germany held it breath while toe scientist looked through hi microscope at the minute portions of royaltj Fortho physiciansVirchovv wrote out tw pases of reasons why the grow th In th prince's throat was. harmless and not cancel ous In its nature. Do far as 1 know thes reasons are equally convincing to both th cancerlte and antlcanccrlto physicians. J3i the mass of Germans did not want to rea the report of the great authority on cancer ) They simply related , "Virthow says It I not a cancer , " than ran to cheer the crown prince , perfectly convinced of security. WHAT vtuciiovr JA\S. 1 said to 1'rof. Vlrchow that many Ger man's In America would like to be assured directly from him ot the prince's safety. Ho permits me therefore to say to ) our German readers that ho examined three pieces show- lug a section of diseased portion of the prince's throat. It proved to be a harmless vvartllku growth , with nothing cancerous about It and no suspicion of cancerous growth near It. Cancer could not result from such a growth nor was cancer specially likely to occur near It. 1'achy- ( tcimla Vcrrulas , ho thought , a good name for tlio growth. It grew as a waity mass just where the voice formed. If neglected It might Increase. Its llrst effect was on the voice , but It Imn no effect on the general health. Ho said ho hoped thu trouble had been entirely cured without dostioylng the voice forming muscles of thethioat , just as a similar growth was removed from Pastor Stoeckcr's the antl-semctie le.adci throat without harming his voice. Such a growth , Vlrchow said , could not lead to strangulation , and so far as the larjnx was concerned the crown prlnco might live 1,000 jears. Pri vately Vlrchow told mo a large number of persons suffer In the same way as the prince , many much more serious cabcs being known. END OF THE IIKIOIISTAG.

The question Is asked whether or not this does not contain a bint whereby educational work In the United States may bo lurtlieied In an unprecedented way not at the public ex- but by public spirit at the c\pcnso if the pupils'.1 This novel tuo\cment called "unherslty \tunslon" has been In prozress In England i > r moio than ten jears , and theie Is now no .uestton as to Its popularity or success.

Not Cambridge lone , but the University of Oxford , Owens ollege , at Manchester , and the local colleges .tLlvcipool , Leeds , Birmingham , Hrlstol , ilieHleld , Nottingham , Cardiff and Hanger re all engaged In this democratic educ.a- ional mission. Tlio Idea Is talcing Hold of : oiiBcr\ativo Scotland and It has alieady been ut In practice by tlio universities of Aus- .ralla. Sooner or later the movement must weep America , for It Is essentially demo- ratlc. To a practical mind the most Interesting 'eaturo of this movement is Its economic jharactcr. It Is not altogether n missionary uovemcnt or an educational ciusadc. It has .ts business sido. It In primarily a case of -lemaml and supply , llepresontatlvesof labor and capital In England Im\o awakened to the lact that universities aio In possession ot a useful commodity called solid higher educa tion. Men beMn to realize that a coodKnowl- sdge of English liistory , political economy , nodal science , literature , and the aits makes or the general improvement of society and .ho development ot a better state ot icollng among Its members. The present demand is not for common schools , these exist alieady. The cry Is higher education for adult voters and persons past the school ago too busily enca ed perhaps In othei pursuits to permit of much continuous study , and vet able to glvobomo of their tlmo to intellectual im provement. Giaspin the situation and Its possibilities , public spirited individuals bavo formed edu cational societies or associations In towns and parishes. They have afliliatcd with ex isting local Institutions jof an educational or social charactei , such as local colleges , Insti tutes , literary and philosophical societies , church institutes , mechanics' institutes , night schools , etc , ; they liavo appointed active secretaries with subcommittees rcpin- sentlngthe ladles , young people who sell tickets , teachers , artisans ; without sectarian or political entanglements they have united the test forces of .the community , with the mayor ot ttomo public officer at the head ; thev have tnRen suDscrlptlon shares of live dollars , some persons tvklng several shares , others clubbing together tor one share , tint nil havlntt representat'on In the society. Upon such a hound ecoiiomicil basis thcso educational associations have undo their do- mauds upon the universities lot local In struction by lectures In systematic courses , costing from tlueo to five bhillliigs tor a course ticket. The universities meet this demand by a supply of well trained , enthusiastic young lecturers who.for a reasonable compensation , arc willing to give public courses In tnc towns anddlstiicts of England. The Cam bridge men no out from their comfortable Quarters to Icctuio to tlio people for n v aricty of considerations , good will , ambition for distinction , nubile splilt , scientific propa ganda and a tee ofJ5 toi a lecture once a week for twelve weeks. They agico also to conduct a class each week for review or dis cussion of the picvlous lectuie , and to correct voluntary exercises written at the student's own homo upon sot questions requiring private reading. This Involves laborious , painstaking work on the part ot both lecturer and student. The university aupolutb an examiner upon the term's work as maikcd out in the kcturer's printed syllabus of topics which , by reason of Its caieful analysls.sives much labor In note taking. Tlio examination leo Is ten dollars. Two sorts of certificates are given , "piss" and "with distinction. ' Theiu Is no fin ( her gradation of rank unless the local nuthoiities oiler piizes. A term's work of twelve lectures and twelve class exercises is tlio unit of the Unl- veislty Extension svstem. It costs altogether about fc-U5 , including the lecturers fee , advertising and other Incidentals. Kntei- prising towns and district unions quickly multiply their courses until they have a regular curriculum extending through three v ears , In various groups , such as (1) ( ) litera ture and history ; ( - ) natural science ; (3) ( ) the line arts. The courses in English history and political economy are very attractive.
