3H) t Charlotte bileniitr. TUESDAY, JANTJAHY ?; 179. DinDSON COLLEGE. tFrom the North Carolina Presbyterian. Jr. Editor 1 wish to set forth the claims of Davidson College upon the good people of our State. The point I propose to make is that Davidson College as a school for thor ough education, for first-class drill-work, is superior to any college which we have, or perhaps to any south of the University of Virginia. The University of Virginia is by com mon consent of all who know anything about it, regarded as the first institution for thorough scholarship in the South ern States. Now, of the six professors at David son College, four are University of Vir ginia men, and one a Washington-Lee man, a college founded on the same plan, pursuing the same methods of in struction, anal think officered to a con siderable extent by graduates of the University of Virginia. The whole plan and method of teaching at Davidson College is that of the confessedly best institution at the South, while the de mands and requirements for passing examination are based on the strict ex amination required there. Men trained at the University of Virginia, do not allow low standards of scholarship, and the professors at Davidson have made it their aim to require as strict scholar ship so far as they carry their students, as is required at the University of Vir ginia. They do not pretend to rival that university or any other real university in the extent and variety of studie3 re quired for degrees for Davidson is simply a college, doing college work, preparing youths by thorough teaching to appropriate the advantages of uni versities, such as Johns Hopkins and the University of Virginia. Davidson College does i not and will not lower her scholarship simply to get numbers ; thanks to her still large en dowment. She is "not on the parish," and the college is able to support itself even with a limited number of pupils. The president and professors of lan guages at Davidson are not only Uni versity of Virginia men, but have all studied at the most famous universities of Germany; they know what is con sidered learning there, and what schol . arship means there ; they are students and readers of German and French, and are keeping themselves in contact with the best learning and best books of those countries. The languages are taught at Davidson in the only way a language can be thor oughly taught, viz: by writing it. The professor of Greek at Davidson, a most enthusiastic teacher and a capital scho lar, informed me last June that he crave his last class the very same Greek exer- rases, inac xroiessor uuaersiieve gave him When he took his degree on Greek at the, University of Virginia. I do not mean ot course, mat ne put up tor ex amination all the Greek required of hinttjf for that embraces the reading of uiauy aumors not reaa in a college, ana Greek history, &c but he gave his class the very same English to be put into Greek which was given him the only real test, of ones knowledge of a lan guage. some of these papers were sent to a distinguished professor of Greek at one of the oldest colleges in Virgina, him self a University of Virginia man and he said "he would not have thought ouuu wees coma nave Deen written in any college if he had not seen it" In Latin, I hear that Prof. Sampson has done the same thing, giving the ex ercises mac xror. meters gives at the University of Virginia. In the scientific department the same nign standard is enforced as in lan Kuages. jtror. uarson s course in pure mathematics is about that given at wasnington-Lee. in chemistry, besidfis t,h orAnprnl chemistry, there is a full year of prac tical laooratory worK ior tnose who de sire it. In natural philosophy there is a very full course ; experimental physics a wnoie year; mecnanics a wliole year; astronomy a whole year. I have had in the last few days a fresh instance oi tne strictness of the exam inrtLiuu in tnis aepartment. i was in quiring of jfrof. Martin concerning the present chemistry class. He told me he gave one student 98 on examination, and then added, "that is a very high mark, tor not more tnan one in nve hundred ever get that from me. I have been here for ten years, and -do not think I ever gave 97 to more than three or four students." As to the president of Davidson Col lege, I know no college which has his equal in talents, scholarship and capa city for teaching in his department. He was educated under Dr.McGuffey at the University of Virginia, held the chair of mental philosophy at the Uni versity of North Carolina in its palmi est days, was president of Miami Uni versity, professor of Latin at Davidson, and then president of the college. He has attended lectures in Berlin, is a German and French scholar, and is more thoroughly master of philosophy and the kindred branches than any man I know. He is especially apt as a teach er, calling out all the enthusiasm of his pupils, and stimulating them to work. Few men possess his stores of learning, and long practice as a teacher has taught him what is adapted to the stu dent's mind. .He is emphatically an educator. If I had no other reason for sending a .son to Davidson, I would send him there to enjoy the benefits Aof Dr. Hepburn's chair. Dr. Hepburn's teaching is not only theoretical, it is practical has reference to the living issues of the day. He is not like so many mere professors and theologians a sixteenth century man living in the nineteenth century. He is a man of the day, using the lessons of the past to illustrate and explain the present Dr. Hepburn's department is especi ally rich in political economy and soci ology, questions of government, finance, &c. These are subjects of prime im portance, and it is upon just such topics our young men neea instruction. And now, Mr. Editor, 1 think I have given a reason for the faith that is in me in regard to Davidson. I do not wish to be thought as setting Davidson above what it deserves. I do not say this or that chair in some other colleges may not be as well filled as in Davidson ; I do not assert that the whole body of rofessors there are superior in talents the whole body in some other col leges. .But I do assert and believe that tak ing everything into consideration, the talents of the professors: the universi ties in this country and abroad upon which they have attended, the thorough ness and exactness of their learning, the method of their teaching, the exacts nessof their teaching, and the high standard required . for degrees that Davidson College is head and shoulders above any similar college . south of the universities' of Virginia. I am profoundly grateful that in North Carolina we have such a college. I believe its influence in the State in promoting the higher education will be incalculable. , This thorough education is just what we need in our State it is just that thing in ! which Virginia ex cels us and which is due in a great de gree to her University, whose exactness and thoroughness of teaching, Davidson College is closely following. Let no one think I am .attempting to T write up" Davidson. ' She is alreat y making her mark. Her students are al ready making her known by their schol arship and power of thought, as teach ers and pupils at the higher universi ties, and her reputation is every year extending itself. The graduates of -a r? Davidson take a high rank in the pro fessional and scientific shoois wnicn they enter. They are sought as teachers in North Carolina, South Carolina and the Gulf States, and no one that has been recommended as a teacher by the faculty, has so far as is known, disap pointed those who have employed him, A professor at Johns Hopkins In re ply to inquiries, said Davidson boys were prepared to attend his lectures or those anywhere else. I may add a pro fessor recentlv elected was compliment ed on his being called to a college of so high a character by the superintendent of education in one of our largest cities, These facts speak for themselves.

A I'e.r lied Huin.ui Il.n;-!. From the Winnemucca (Nev.) Silver State, De cember 2 1. J A curiosity which astonishes scientists and puzzles them to account for is now on exhibition in Gould's cabinet, at Mill City. It is a perfectly-formed hand, which apparently belonged to a boy about fourteen years of age. The hand is open, the lingers being slightly bent toward the palm, on which the thumb rests. The back of the hand seems to have been crus'ied or decomposed 1. fore it was petrified, but the palm, thumb, and fingers are perfect. We were informed it was found at the sulphur-beds near Rabbit Hole by one of the men employed in shoveling crude sulphur into the refining retort, and is supposed to have been imbedded in the sulphur bank for ages. The fingers are comparatively short, a fact which indicates that it did not belong to an Indian, as the red men's fingers are gen erally longer than those of whites, but the thumb is rather longer than the av erage. To what race the owner of the hand belonged, and how and when it was embedded in the sulphur, wijl probably ever remain unknown, unless some em inent scientist should investigate the hand and the sulphur bank where it was found, and explain these mvste ries.

This ts to certify that I hare used VEGETINE, manufactured by H. K. Stevens, Boston, Mass., for Rheumatism and General Prostration of tbe Ner vous System, with good success. I recommend VEGETINE as an excellent medicine for such complaints. Yours very truly, C.W. VANDEGRLFT.

Louisville, Ky., Feb. 16, 1877. Mr. H. R. Stevens: Dear Sir Three years ago I was suffering terribly with Inflammatory Rheumatism. Our minister's wife advised me to take VEGETINE. After tak ing one bottle, I was entirely relieved. This year, feeling a return of the disease, I again commenced taking it, and am being benefited greatly. It also greatly Improves my digestion. Respectfully, Mrs. A. BALLARD, 1011 West Jefferson Street SAFE AND SURE. Mr. H. R. Stevens: In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to me, and yielding to the persuations of a friend, I consented to try It At the time I was suffering from general debility and nervous prostration, superinduced by overwork and Irregular habits. Its wonderful strengthening and curative proper ties seemed to affect my debilitated system from the first dose; and under its persistent use I rapid ly recovered, gaining more than usual health and good feeling, since then I have not hesitated to give Vegetine my most unqualified indorsement, as being a safe, sure and powerful agent In promot-i lng health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy. Vegetine is the only medicine I use; and as long as I live I never expect to find a better. Yours truly, W. H. CLARK, 120 Monterey Street, Alleghany, Penn. VEGETINE The following letter from Rev. G. W Mansfield, formerly pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, Hyde Park, and at present settled in Lowell, must convince every one who reads his letter of the won derful curative qualities of Vegetine as a thorough cleanser and purifier of the blood. Hyde Park, Mass., Feb. 15, 876. Mr. H. R. Stevens: Dear Sir About ten years ago my health failed through the depleting effects of dyspepsia; nearly a year later I was attacked by typhoid-fever hi its worst form. It settled in my back, and took the form of a large deep-seated abscess, which was fifteen months in gathering. I had two surgical operations by the best skill in the State, but receiv ed no permanent cure. I suffered great pain at times, and was constantly weakened by a profuse discharge. I also lost small pieces of bone at dif ferent times. Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May, 1874, when a friend recommended me to go to your office, and talk with you of the virtue of Vege tine. I did so, and by your kindness passed through your manufactory, noting the ingredients, &e., by which your remedy is produced. By what I saw and heard I gained some confi dence in Vegetine. I commenced taking it soon after, but felt worse from its effects; still I persevered, and soon felt it was benefitting me in other respects Yet I did not see the results I desired till I had taken it faithful ly for little more than a year, when the difficulty In the back was cured; and for nine mouths I have enjoyed the best of health. I have In that time gained twenty-five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before In my life, and I whs never more able to perform labor than now. Daring the past few weeks I had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist gather on another part of my body. I took Vegetine faithfully, and It removed It level with the surface hi a month. I think I should have been cured of my main trouble sooner li I h d tak en lamer doses, after having become accustomed to its effects. Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or kidney disease understand that It takes time to cure chronic diseases; and, if they will patiently take Vegetine, it will, in my Judgement, cure them. With great obligations I am Yours very truly, G. W. MANSFIELD, Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church. VEGETINE Prepared by IL R. STEVENS, BOSTON, MASS. Vegetine Is sold by all Druggists.
