Perhaps iu uo way can the immense
Btrhlcs that Nebraska has taken in the
last decade ho shown than by a resume of
the educational work of the different
denominations during that time. The
prairie has not only been made to "bud
and blossom a the rose , " but the incom
ing thousands from nil parts of the world ,
that have settled in the rich valleys and
plains , have first of all niado provision
for thu education of their children. The
BOtl house , the frame building and the
bricK structure , some of thorn second to
none in the country , have followed each
other iu quick succession. Perhaps noth
ing so much surprises tho. foreigners
who visit the west us the cheerful liberal
ity with which the government , the state ,
and individuals endow the common
school , the seminary , the college and
the university. The Methodist Episcopal
church has not been behind in this on
ward movement in the cause of educa
tion. It might bccm premature to talk of
'four institutions of the higher gratia in
Nebraska for ono church , but these who
cavil must remember tint the present
decade will show at least 1,200,000 people
in our state , and with the cry echoing
trom all our borders "still they come. "
Illinois , with Chicagotho most wonder
ful city that the world has soon in Ms
phenomenal growth , and with its hun
dreds of other cities and towns all along
its great lines of travel , and on its wido-
* trotching lake , is said not to bo one-
twelfth developed in her latent rcsorccs.
If that is a fact , what will Nebraska bo
when her first thirty-five years' growth
bring a million and moro within her bor
ders , and the next decade will doubtless
more than double the number of her
citizens.
There is room then for those educa
tional Institutions , and the best time to
locate them is while laud is cheap und lot

to carry out the recommendations of the

Another college has been chartered
and n good .beginning madn at Central
City , on the Union Pacific raiway. Rev.
1) . Marqnctto is at the head of this insti
tution , and with the generous gift of
land and aid from the churches , it is
hoped that the crisis will soon be passed ,
und the school will become a prominent
part of the educational work in the
state. Each of these institutions repre
sents what is known in the Methodist
church as an annual conference. The
state has grown so rapidly that from
ono small conference there 'arc now
three , with about ono hundred members
each. The western part of the state ,
the frontier , has shown wonderful vital
ity m the work of the church , and llov.
Allen liartly conceived the idea of build
ing a university at n peint on the 1) . &
M. in Rod Willow county. Ho held
3,000 acres of land , and two-tuitdH ot
this ho gave to found the Mallalicu
university. When Bishop Fowler made
las otlicial visit to Nebraska last Septem
ber ho found these struggling institutions
in their incipiency , and moro or less de
veloped. He immediately advised a uni
fication of all the educational interests of
the church , with n central university.nnd
these schools as feeders for the one grand
institution. It was n hard struggle for
the schools to consent to the change and
give up the idea of a college or university
at every point named , but when the com
missioners mot , appointed from the three
annual conferences , and discussed the
matter , the whole plan seemed so natural
and feasible and wise that they , with a
little mental reservation that has now
passed nway , adopted the
SUOGKSTIONS OK BISHOP FOWLER ,
and subsequently they all fell into line ,
marching from the north and south and
cast and west , an educational phalanx ,
toward the central university.
On the 15th of December , 1880 , the
commissioners mot in Lincoln , and , after
carefully canvassing the matter , it was
decided to accept what was considered
the best oiler , 1270,000. and locate the
uinveroity at the Capital City.
The location is some three miles cast of
the city , and embraces a goodly number
ot broad acres , and of course a larger
number of lots to bo sold for the benefit
of the institution. A building is in course
of erection that will cost $70,000 , and is n
part nf the donation of the generous don-
ni/.ns of the capital city to secure the lo
cation
Invitations are already out and scat-
tared over the state to these intorcsted.to
attend the ceremonies ot the laying of
the corner stonu on September 23 , the
date of the annual session of the Nebras
ka conference. Hishop J. F. Hurst,1) . D. ,
will deliver the address , and an oppor
tunity will bo given to purchase lots from
the plat of the University place.
The leaders of this enterprise have
shown excellent judgment , and the
schools have given their cheerful
acquiesanco to ( ho whole plan ; and it
seems that much more can bo accomp
lished in this way than by separate
schools and suporalo interests. The sol-
logos at York , Central City and Hartly
well educate their pupils as far as is
usual in colleges in the sophomore year
and then transfer to the university.
The trustee * of the university will bo
chosen from the three conference iu equal
numbers. The university will prescribe
the text books for ull the schools , so as
to have uniformity in the course ot study
and will confer all degrees.
The schools , it is thought , can bo run

ind as soon aa its work and aims arc

Will ftivo of their means to sustain and
dovolopc an institution that is a rcprcscn-
ativo of the church at the scat of
government.
The main building and the grounds are
; ift from the citizens of Lincoln , not to
. .ilncoln , but to the great Methodist
amily of the state first , and then to all
lonomiftations who desire to cducato
their children at the university. It be
comes the property of every church and
station , and all should feel an equal in
terest in building up an institution that
shall bo an honor to the church and the
state-nnd the great church that is repre
sented by so many universities and col-
.ogos and schools all over the land.
All differences about location , and
ether minor misunderstandings should be
forgotten , and a rallying cry should go
up from nil the churches and nil the
friends of education , to help on the good
work for the benciit of this and the coin-
in generations.
The chancellorship of the university will
bo held by Rev. C. F. Creighton , D.'D. . a
man every wav lilted by character , abil
ity and education for such a , position.
He is uu earnest , conscientious , nggrcs-
sivo man who will honor thu position ,
and make the university an honor to the
church.
The church as ono man should coma up
to the aid of this enterprise , with prayers
and gifts and legacies , and sacrifices
oven , until it stands on a firm basis , and
becomes a joy and delight and strength ,
not only to tlio denomination , but to the
sitored cause nf education throughout a
state peopled with millions from every
nation and clime under the sun.
The trustees uro moving on in their
work in n very olliciont manner , and
will , by constant attention and earnest
otlbrt , soon have the university ready for
occupancy , and , with Dr. Urcighton at
the head and an able corps of professors
and instructors , wo predict that the uni
versity will soon take front rank with the
educational institutions of this and ether
states. Much of this information 1ms
come from Uev. Dr. T. IJ. Lemon , who
is ono of the oldest and most honored of
all the men who have done such good
work for education and the church since
the settlement of the statn. Ho now
holds the position of educational agent
for the Methodist Episcopal church
throughout the state and is doing good
woric for the university.

Letter.
, August 20. [ Correspondence
of the HEK. ] A short ride on the Great
Western railway from Oxford , brought
us to what we had been looking forward
to us ono of the most important points
ot our tour , the city of London. Hut I
can say very little concerning London
that is new. Every one who crosses the
Atlantic goes to London , and nearly all
who go there write something about it.
I have endeavored in these letters to
omit the usual stereotyped descriptions
of buildings and places which every
school boy Knows well enough to recite.
In accordance with this principle , then ,
I shall not weary you with a pen picture
of the Tower or Westminster or fat. Paul's.
To be sure wo went to all these places ,
and our visits there were wonderfully
8atisfactorycxccpt nt Westminster which
wo only saw from the outsido. No ono
was admitted to the interior during uur
stay in London , as the decorations which
had been put iu for the queen's jubilee
wcro being taken down. Wo missed
seeing a Fcssion of the house of commons
too , all on account of the trouble
some Irish question. Mr. Kd. A. Perry ,
London correspondent to the P.ostou
Herald , very kindly offered to get us
passes , but thu evictions called him away
to Ireland and we were left. It is not so
easy to got into the houses of parliament
as into the capilol ; at Washington. Since
the dynamite outrage here no one lias
been admitted to the houses without
.special permission from a member.
Wo stayed in London two weeks , dur-
which time wo visited all the various
museums , palaces , public buildincn ,
parks , etc. , wliicn I shall not attempt to
describe. An afternoon in Hyde park
afforded us a view of London high lifo
which I shall never forget. It must bo
remembered that the social season in
London tlocs not close until about July
Ul , when parliament adjourns. Uur
vsiit there then was just at the close of
the season and the vicinity of
Piccadilly , St. James street and
Hyde park corner was lively with
superb carriages driving to and from the
olub houses and private residences.
Americans who havn not been in London
have little idea of thu splendor of a swell
London rquippugo. I shall not call them
beautiful ; gaudy is a better word , and
giddv sounds better still. Stockinged
footmen with satin kull breeches and
long frocks to mutch were not uncom
mon , while cocked hats , white gloves
and powdered wigs usually completed
the tray costumes of the two Dromios on
the box. Hyde park presented ti lively
spectacle on plciisant afternoons at four
or five o'clock , when huge red wheeled
carriages rolled around huliiud wnll bred
steeds in gold trimmed harness und close
clipped mane.
The palatial club houses of Pall Mall
and I'iccalilly were a great attraction ,
especially White's club in St. James
whoso bow window has been made fam
ous by so many novelists ,
\Vo were also much interested in the
priceless treasures of the British museum

have seen ovorything. The cream of the
collection in my mind was con
tained in the Klgln room where
are to be seen the remains of sculptures
by Phidias made to adorn the Parthenon
at Athens. They are known as the Klgin
marbles , having been brought from
Athens by Lord Elgin , and are consid
ered by many to bo the finest sculptures
in existence. A Greek scholar hud butte
to bo reminded of the Acropolis at
Athens to call to mind all its ancient
architectural glory. He can conceive of
the untolu value of the Elgin collection
when ho knows that it comprises the
frieze and two pediments of the Parthe
non.
Among the many thousand imuortant
mnnusprmts in tlio museum , those which
interested me most were thn original
manuscripts of "Gray's Elegy , " parts of
Scott's "Konilworth , " and papers ami
letters written by ull the old English
masters , such as Ben Jensen , Pope ,
Swift , Milton and Macaulay.
As the wonders of London are not
even to bo enumerated in so short a
letter as this , I shall not hesitate to leave
the city to your imagination and good
judgment. Hut first let me say a word
about American and English fashions.
It first dawned Juuon me in London that
thn American public allows itself to bo
imposed upon by tradesmen who pre
tend to keep tin with English styles.
On getting into London we learned that
all sorts of wearing apparel , hats , boots ,
shirts , cravats , and oven suits , repre
sented in New York as "latest English , "
were not English nt all. The wide
creased trousers which were so univer
sally worn in Now York were scarcely
over seen on Picccdiliy , while no one who
made any prctontion to style was overseen
soon in a brown or grey derby. Tall ,
sleek "chimney pots" seemed to have
dropped down on the heads of all. The
top of an omnibus looked like the top of
a square towe.t with the numerous silk
hats as turrets. The day of tiles has
.surely come < < galn to London. Every
body wears them'even young hovs of
fourteen ; while the self-respuoting Ameri
can slinks away into a corner on the
evening of his first day in town , and
squanders twenty-live shillings ( cheap by
the way ) on a new silk hat.
I might add that many customs which
have been introduced in America as Eng
lish , do not come from respectable Eng
lishmen , but are copied from
the ways of street roughs of the low
est class. All this , however , is not
a question of great importance. What
matters it if the Anglo-maniac of our
country isn't exactly up to the mnrkv
The ways of the two countries arc diHer
ein , and will bo so as long as the cast is
divided from the west.
Before kaviug tlio metropolis 1 must
not fail to mention what has now become
a London institution , the American exhi
bition. It has got to bo quite thu proper
thing to go to the exhibition now , since
Buflulo Bill and tiio rest of the show
have been rccojrni/.r-d by royalty. On
entering the main building one js re
minded very much of the centennial ex
hibition of 1870 , and although the Ameri
can exhibition does not compare with the
centennial in diminsions. it amply fulfills
its purpose and well deserves a vis'.t.
American wares are in process of man
ufacture by Yankee mnchitior.vvand the
busy hum of wheels and spindles M-rvo
wnll to Illustrate the ingenuity and in
dustrial advancement of our people. As
1 walked about amongst this scene of life
and activity , finch ns I had not before
witnessed in all London , a patriotic thrill
crept through my veins and I felt doubly
proud of being an American. The exhi
bition is on a much larger scale than I
expected to find it ; in fact I had
almost forgotten its existence. The
various duunrtmonts. not only of trade
and manufacturo.but also of the arts and
sciences are surprisingly complete , and
for an inststulion carried on by private
enterprise and capital , the exhibition is
rmunruubly satisfactory.
