REIMOX OF THE 0F'

YAI.i: CLASS

The Firs!-Born *cls the Historical Cup.

From time immemorial it has been the custom at the first reunion of a class, three years from the time of its graduation, to present the first boy born to any member of the class with a silver goblet. In the nature of things it could hardly happen that a hundred young men of maturity should enter upon lile ami its duties r.t the close of a college course, and al the end three years be devoid of matrimony rul its legitimate consequence Th class hov is lnok.-d upon as inevitable, Mid there is no instance on record in ,vhich lie ha failed in come to time. At nine o'clock' la^t Thur-day cvi-iiing the class of T.7 gathered in the President's lecture-room, a locality his toric with memories ol "rushes," "ti/xles,'' "flunks/' and the diversiiied cuttings-up of old recitation days, when the class was in bondage to the law* and 1"'acuity. From that point the cla-s marched two and two acros- the college campus to the .New Havdn House where the class supper was to tind loetnen worthy of it* quality and quantity. A halt was made in the hotel hall, and while waiting for the supper room to open Jthere was a riutter and a rustle, and half a dozen ladies entered and sailed up stairs with a young ster among them. It was the ciass boy, mother and retinue. With one accord the class struck up the time-honored refrain:

And I shall bo hi:- a Aud I shall bo liis dml. And you see how ilii" A. H. Will look when HE': a dud.

The supper-room soon opened, and immediately the seats were tilled, to the number of about sixty, and the various courses of eatables were eaten through in one hour and a half, and the interesting hour was at hand. The class turned their chairs toward the head of the room, where a table stood, adorned with bouquets, and having a mysterious-looking box upon it. The doors were opened and the invited guests poured in, three-fourths of them ladies. The occasion seems in great favor with the sex. anil the boy and ceremonies are matters of intense interest apparently with them. After all were seated who could sit. and the standing crowd brought to order, the retinue and the lw entered, l'he proud father carlied the cteditable youngster in his arms. The happy mother entered alongside, of course, while the train of bridesmaids, it looked like, followed alter. They were seated, and the boy stood on his father's knee and eared about over the admiring crowd. Walter Chester Warren was the voting hero's name, and he did great credit to it. With all the royalty of 21 months resting upon him, he properly viewed papa and mamma and the class of his subjects on the occasion.

Mr. Thomas Hedge, of and in behalf of the class, then made the presentation speech, which was remarkable for its wit, humor and good taste, and while the audience were continually convulsed with laughter, there was not the least approach to anything that might bring a blush to the cheek of modesty. The father then responded in behalf of the boy, who, like a cute young one as he was, had seized upon the beautiful goblet and refused to be parted from it. It was amusing to see the fervent affection with which he regarded his acquisition. The goblet was hugged and kissed by the baby as though it were a lesser baby, and his little mouth made a response after his paternal had spoken for him with "Thank you, man," and "Hurrah for 't7!" gotten off in a baby dialect. At the close of the ceremony the class was presented to the boy and his mother, and a sort of levee held for half an hour. It was then time for baby to go to bed, and the ladies left at the same time. The cigar box was passed around, and the class toasts, speeches, jokes and reminiscences were indulged in till -1 o'clock this morning. Old days were brought back and old scenes lived over, and

While the curling-smoke arose Like incense ill the air,

there were no sighs breathed, as it wasn't the last cigar, but the laugh went round, and jollity waxed uproarious. One ot the class got off, with side-splitting efiect, imitations of the style and language ol the tutors and Professor*, whose instructions they formerly admired, and ilie roais of laughter were enough to waken the city. Everybody was called upon to say something, and everybody did -ouitwere witty, -offlt sober, some wi-e, voice silly, but all were applauded to the echo, and any one might be a fool with impunity, if he felt like it. Out of the I'd graduates, and other* who bad been members of the i-lu-s, over »it Aeie on hand. Since the day of graduation the class has not losi a member, though live connected with it died dining rI,• four years in college, and then memory wahonored with the deep silence as a cla'--nintc paid them a lilting tiihute

In the gray shades ol dawn this morning the meeting broke up, :md the cla-s marched to the ivy planted at the library building, snug the ivy parting song, and separated. In three years the class will again meet, but probably not with unbroken number*.--CW. Xnr York 'V, ln

A few Words of Warning. 1'iuroR Ko'. Kvu.i.r KKPPBI.I I AS:—It is a fact which cannot be ignored, disguised, concealed, or disputed, that for years to come, this Government will be administered by one or the other of the two great political parties of the country. It would be just as sensible for a man to shut his eyes, and deny that the Sun in the heavens shines upon him, as for him to deny the other proposition, which is equally self-evident.

It becomes the duty of all men, therefore, to examine the records of these parties in prjst vears, in order to see which 'ol ihem is the better entitled to their support. As 1 have in some of my former articles examined thcfe parties with reference to their loyalty, during the rebellion, 1 shall in this paper confine myself to a brief review of their respective claims upon the people with regard to their financial management. And. in order to "oring the question home to the men of Irdiana, 1 shall give a short review of the financial management of the affairs of our own State, tinder Democratic and

Republican rule. For near twenty years prior to 1860, the Democratic party held uninterrupted control of our State Government. On the 31st of October, 184!, the total debt of the State, foreign and domestic, amounted to SS,259,737.oO. On the 1st of January, 1S57, at the c\ose of Gov. Wright's administration, thfc domestic debt, $215,530, had been extingtdshed, and the foreign debt reduced to S7,772,811, making the total reduction untl»r Gov. Wright's administration S4S7,42^.50, in a period of seven years. The State Government for the next tonr fyears, wis in the hands of Governors Millard and Hammond, who

increased the indebtedness of the State in that time $2,406,954,09. leaving as an inheritance to the Republican party on the 1st of January, 1861, a State indebtedness of $10,179,267.09.

The Rebellion, inaugurated shortly after Governor Morton came into power, made it necessary to issue $2,000,000 War Bonds, in order to equip our troops and put them into the field, and during the summer of 1861, Congress levied a direct tax on the State of $904,875,33, which, added to the War Bonds made the sum of indebtedness accruing on account of the war §2,904,875,33. Add this to the debt inherited from the Democratic party, and we have the sum of $13,084,142,42. which was due and owing on the 1st of November, 1862. In less than eight years the administrations of Governors Morton and Baker have discharged of this isdebt edness $9,532,926,27, including all our foreign debt, and all our war debt, leaving as our only State debt $3,551,316,15, due to the School Fund of the State, and consequently owing to herself. In a recent speech Governor Morton speaking upon this subject, says: ''The Bond to the School Fund of $3,551,316,15, the State owes to herself, and is never to be paid, the obligation amounting to this: hat the State will semi-annually, for the support of Common Schools, pay a sum equal to the interest on this Bond at the rate of six per centum but as in the absence of this arrangement the Stale would have lo raise a like amount for the support of Common Schools, the indebtedness is only nominal and not redl.' So, in fai t, the .State is to-day out of debt In addition to the payment of the State debt, the Kepiibliean administrations ol i.iovernor* Morton and P.aker have paid out the sinn of $798,117,(11 on the public buildings of the State including the Normal School, Soldiers' Home, Northern Prison, House of Refuge, building for the Supreme Court and State Offices, enlargement of the Insane Hospital. Deaf and Dumb Institute, &c. All this has been accomplished, during a period of Revolution and Rebellion, by the able, wise and honest administration of the Republican paity while, on the other hand, as have shown, the public debt was increased bv and under Democratic rule, in time of profound peace. With all these facts staring him in the face, a man uiav be very lionet and vote to return the Democratic party to power to repeat their for mer performances but I would not give a red cent for his jwlymeiit indeed I should very strongly question his sanity.

Hut this is not all. Democratic financiering has even a darker phase than I have vet presented. In 18-jO Congress granted to the State all the "Swamp Lands" within its limits, the only conditions imposed being that the proceeds the sales should be applied, so far as nscessary to reclaiming them. The State accepted the grant, and provided by leg isliition that the net proceeds should go to the School Fund. These lands amount ed to

l.2r'J,t»3S

I'oherts

acres, and were worth as

estimated bv llov. Wright, Si,000,000 to the School V'und of the State, after paying the expense of ditching. The IVniocrncv had sole control ol their management, and every acre of these lands was gobbled up by Democratic politicians to build up their private fortunes, at the expense of the children ot the State and not a dollar of the proceeds went into the School Fund. By a trick of Anetw «Hcii., the lauds were purchased and paid for by "ditching certificates," issued bv the State officers, for work "to be done,'" yet the conveyances were made to the parties. About thirty years ago the State became possessed of 300,000 acres of land in Georgia, estimated to be worth at least one dollar per acre. Large sums had been offered for them and refused, but in 1853 they were sold, and by a Democratic Legislature confirmed, for the pitiful sum of one thousand dollars.— These are a but few samples of the financial management of the Democratic party when in power in this State and those who admire their skill in this lined and who desire a repetition of it in Na-, tional, State and County affairs are expect ed to support the Democratic ticket from the highest down to the lowest office

But I must stop for the present. rj.fi VERITAS.

MAN BURIED ALIVE.

Swallowed up in a Quicksand—Heroic Efforts to Save the Victim.

A correspondent of the Kansas Journal says: "This afternoon the citizens of Silver Lake were shocked by the intelligence that a man by the name of Price Roberts was partially buried in a well out on Big Soldier. In company with Dr. Ward and others of this place, I repaired to the scene of disaster. The circumstances are as follows: Mr. Elmore Randall engaged Mr. Roberts to dig a well. When he had sunk it to the depth of twenty-live or thirty feet, he commenced curbing with rather ti ail material, using grapevine secured by boards. When at the depth of forty feet, having dug five feet below his curbing, he was uiged by Mr. Randall and his fi iend-to come out but having struck water, he was anxious to secure the prize. Shortlv afterwards, Mr. Randall's ears were -tarted by the cry for help. Seizing the windlass, they dragged him up about fifteen feet, when the teaclierou.-i curbing gave way, forcing him to one side and under the bank, breaking his hold and entangling his in the curbing. I'.ui ied Up to bis I'bin, and with tin- fearful piorj/ec ol anol I||-I ^liile «-vi-i moim-ul, Mr. Parulal I. wii heroic l'oi lililde, di-M e/idi-il the well and commenced digging him out. lA-alh na- aioiind him and above billi on all -ide-. Y«t he woik«d mil iI he bail go' lb'- land away lo hi" Waicl. Weak and e'haus.ed, he wa* pulled out. fie mounted hi- horse and rode allei help When we reached the spot we found Mr.

ntill alive, and giving dm-ciion*

lo hose above bow to proceed. We con sii iicied :i curbing about twelvu feet long, and let it down, but owing to the curbing below we muld not get it to the bottom within three fee'. Moments were eternities to the poor fellow. The liist lo descend the curbing was a young man by the name of .Iohn°on, who pulled the sand away from his face, came up, and Mr. Randall went down with a hoe Mr. Roberts' appeal, "Save me, Mr. Kandall!" and the response of Mr. Randall, "My God, Mr. Roberts, 1 will save you if I can!" struck deep into the hearts of those above. This noble youth worked until fainting and exhausted he was pulled up and placed on a bed, and restorative.given him. An experienced well-digger was the next lo go down. He woiked faithfully, but gave up all hope of ge.iinv' him out. The sun had set, and deep dow into the darkness of that "chamber ot death," Mr. Roberts still continued to give directions. Dr. Ward went down with a lantern. A bottomless box was lowered to protect him from the inroad of the quicksand. We were fulfilling other orders of the Doctor when he exclaimed, "He is gone!" Another slide completely covered him, and ^almost fastened the Doctor in. Every effort was put forth to save him, but in vain. We returned home with the reflections that we had seen a fellow-being buried alive.

"WHY

are doctors called physicians,

mamma?" said a little, inquisitive girl to her mother who had just been visited by one of them. "Physicians," replied mamma, who was seldom at a loss for an answer, "comes from feeseek, as the doctors ride about all dav to seek fees."

Hon.

BEDFORD BROWN, of North Caro

lina, is a very respectable conservative gentleman but he only wasted his time when he sought to induce President Grant, to intervene for the purpose of preventing Governor Holdenfrom dealing with the fiends who are rioting in murder and villainy in that Stale Grant is not on that side.

A FEARFUL FIGHT

Most Horrible Death.

From the Enfala (Ala.) News-] MB.EDITOB: Last Saturday morning I was the witness of such a scene as I pray God I may never see again. I beheld a combat between a young man and a rattlesnake, in which the former was bitten and died in ten minutes thereafter. The particulars of the terrible affair are as follows:

On Friday last a young man named Graynor asked me to spend the night with him and go coon hunting the next morning, to which request I readily assented. We started out about three o'clock

A. M.,

and near day the dogs

opened on a trail in the swamp of Bear Creak. Just after sunrise the deep baying of the dogs informed us that the game had taken a tree. We proceeded to make our way through the bogs and tangled brush and vines in the direction of the dogs, until we came to a small space of firm ground, which was covered with a low growth of oak bushes. Here we halted a moment to listen for the dogs.

We had barely paused when we were startled by a loud, strange, la!tlingsotind issuing from beneath a low, thick bush, within a few feet of us. Though I had never heard that peculiar noise before, knew instinctively that it wa a rattlesnake, and sprang back in terror, remarking. "Gravnor, let's leave here." voit

"What,

afraid'." "Ye", jd I, "Well, S am going lo kill a pity to leave So here goes."

"I am afraid.'' he coolly remarked, "1 the snake it would be such a liin- fellmv lu re.

While Graynor was speaking 1 caught a glimpse of the snake, which, a• nearly, as I could judge, a'ppeared to be abonl eight feet in length, and three incite: in diameter in hi- huge pail. He was Ivirvg coiled up in perfect circles, ifh his head drawn back in a terribly graceful curve, his small black eves sparkling, his slender forked tongue darling swiftly back and forili, and his brown neck vwnllen with fatal wrath, while ever slid anon he twirled ibe warning rattles in the air, with a hatsh, blood-curdling sound. "For God's sake, let's go," said 1, •Juddering at the terrible sight. "Don't get scared," said U. "just climb a tree and he won't bite you. It ain't every dav ihat a fellow meets with such a line huge snake this, and it wouldn't do to lo -e him."

He had picked upn small -lick about a vard long, and, while speaking, was drawing back the bushes from above the snake so a-' lo yet a sight of him. lie threw his foot around over the bushes, aud tramped them down in -iicli a manner that the monster wa' lairlv e.vposrd lo view but jnsi as he did so, and before he had time lo strike, be snake made a sudden spring al him, and 1 turned away my face in horror. The next instant, Graynor exclaimed, "I've gol him, by George!" 1 turned to look, and uiili his right hand he was grasping ihe -uake bv llie lieek ill such a mannei thai he omit! not bile, while the mon-ier was gnisliing his teeth most furiously, and twining and writhing in huge folds around G.'s arms. All of a sudden, in some unaccountable manner, the snake freed his head, and quick as lightning plunged bis deadly fangs into G.'s right check when, dropping on the ground, be glided a lew paces and again coiled hi nisei up, keeping his head erect and ringing his fearful rattles. G. turned deadly pale, paused a moment, and then with a little stick advanced toward the snake. As he did so the snake made a spring at him, but G. struck him with the stick and knocked him back.

A second time the snake sprang at him, and he again knocked him off with the stick, but before he could strike a third blow, the snake had made another spring, and inflicted another wound in Graynor's arm. This time Graynor again managed to seize the monster by the neck, and dropping the stick, he drew forth his knife with one hand, opened it with his teeth, and then deliberately cut off the snake's head. Blood spurted from the trunk, and G., still grasping the snake, whose huge folds flapped and writhed around him, turned toward me, staggered and fell. 1 rushed up to him and asked him, "What in the name of God can I do for you?" "Nothing," said he calmly, "1 am dying. Tell them good and his features become frightfully contorted, his eyes rolled over as if starting from their sockets. and his black, swollen tongue protruded from his mouth. Then he fixed his red, wild, staring eyes upon me, and heaved a deep piercing groan a shiver passed over his frame, and then all was still. 1 was alone wiLli the dead.

Marking the place as well as I could, I hastened to a house we bad passed on the road, some half a mile distant from the fatal tragedy. Runners were sent through the neighborhood, and in the course of two hours some twenty ol the neighbors had gathered. Wo proceeded to the place which I found no difficulty in pointing out.

Good heavens! what a sight met our view. The face and body had turned to a deep purple, and were «w-nllen lo three timei the natural -i•/.(•. pre.-witing the riio-t horrible appearance I had ever witnes'Pd.

Onr Relation with Great Britain. Prom the Philadelphia Inquire*-J The subject of the "Alabama" claims, as developed in the correspondence between Mr. Motley, Mr. Thornton and Mr. Fish, does not.bear a hopeful aspect —six months more of "negotiations" comu to nothing. The British Government insisis that it is "difficult to look for hopeful negotiations when so strong an indictment is presented against the British Government" as was contained in the paper styled "notes," presented by Mr. Motlev, which seems to be a recital of all the former complaints against Great Britain and yet this paper, it was said by Lord Clarendon, "was considered by the I'nited States Government to be conciliatory." Mr. Motley ventures to suggest that the British Government ought to look this thing in the face, and to try to understand the question from the American point of view. But Clarendon sticks by the old British stupidity and obstinacy which produced this dillieulty in the heginning, and has continued it ever since. Finallv it conies to this, that the llritish Government testily declares that it believes "that for the settlement and disposition of the questions at issue, it is neither useful nor expedient lo continue a controversial correspondence, in which there is little hope for one of the Governments being able to convince the other, and in which their respective positions and opinions have been amply refolded and sustained."

This amount*, in plain Fngli-di, lo the declaration we do no! desire lo be bored with anv further reference to thi- 'inhjeci, and "we intend land exactly where we have stood ever since the pcrpetralion the wrong." When one Government makes a demand of another, lo whicluthc latlcr refuse.' to accede, what to lie done next'.1 War i", said to the last argument of Kings, and war, where pas:0Jiis are greatly excited, would follow pieciselv such condition of a Hairs as np*v exi-'ls between the L'nitrd States and Great 1-rit-siii.
