FRAUDULENT TRAFFIC IN HONORARY DEGREES. The following article appeared in the London Atheneum of April 25th : «If there be any gentleman on our list of readers who wishes to write L. L. D., behind his name, and is not particular as to the source whence his right to do so is derived, we have news for him. Mr. Sim , of “Clinton Col- lege, Arkansas,’’ is coming to and, cl with 2 box of diplomas, all of which are going at an alarming sacrifice. The following cireu- * lar heralds the approach of Mr. Simpson, which | we print for his benefit in our most conspicuous | columns without advertisement charges. It | shall not be our fault if the dispenser of so mucb pleasure to others does not grow richer and happier by degrees. Cuiston CocteGe, Arkansas, U.S. A., : . February 24, 1357. Sir:—Some time ago one of our trustees re- ceived a letter from a literary friend of his in England — complimentary of you, and ex- pressing @ wish that our coll should confer on you the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. I have the pleasure of informing you that at the last meeting of our Senatus Academicus, held on January the 16th. 1857, it was resolved unanimously that the honorary, degree of Doctor of Laws be conferred on you, and that » diploma confirmatory of the act of the Senate be sent to you at the earliest opportunity. Such ee act of the Senate to be subject to the College by- jaw of date June 3d, 1854, viz:—“« and that those on whom the honorary d of L. L. D. _ is conferred shall pay only a third part of the usual matriculating and uation fees, which third part is £3 10s. which sum is to be expen- ded on the College Library and Museum,”’ &c. Our Mr. Simpson is preparing to leave this for England; he takes your diploma with him, and wil: t it for you on his arrival. As Mr. S. will be in England for a very short time only, you will oblige us by writing to Mr. 8. when the diploma reaches you, ackucwiohziag its re- csipt, and please at the same time to send him the College fee of £3 10s., as he (Mr. 8.) is au- thorized by our Senate to receive the same— and, with the very kind wishes of our Professor, 1 am, your obedient servant. Jaues Lacper, C. S. Mr. Simpson's address for at least a week after you receive your diploma will be as under: Mr. Charles Simpson, (of America), care of Mr. Maynard, Mathematical Bookseller, Earl's Court, Leicester Square. London. We need scarcely add, that Arkansas is a backwood State—that there is no such college as‘ Clinton College,’’ and never was—and that the village schools find scarcely any support in the State. These trifling facts may not impede the desire to sport L. L. D.; and therefore, wishing to be useful, we have left the London address as we find it in hiscircular. In ite issue for the following week (May 2d.) , the Atheneum says: j Few of our readers. we fear, are likely to purchase the diplomas of Clinton College, Ark- ansas,or indeed of any other college in the ’ackwoods of America. Ourcorrespondence on the subject is considerable, and shows that there ismore than one Richmond in the field. A ate rule for an intending purchaser of a dip- joma is—to consult the American Almanac. The following note—which shows a variation of the tune—is worth preserving: Betuost House, Gainsborough, April 28th. ** My brother. who resides in Bradford, last | week bad a diploma of L. L.

A Hint ro Fewates wuo Rive tx RAILROAD Cars.—A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com- mercial is to be credited with the ii - —— [mrad SARE se gentleman entered the “ladies car’ upon one of the eastern roads, and as the day coed chilly, appropriated an entire seat in the vicin- e stove. Passengers crowded in at every station, and soon every seat was taken Pg the one occupied by himself. Presently ladies (30 they appeared) entered the car, and as no one seei inclined te offer a vacan- ey at his own discomfort, our friend, whose gal- lantry ia proverbial, gathered up his shawl, | teens and himself, arose, motioned the adies forward, assisted them into the seat, and took a standing position not far distant. Not so much as a smile or a bow ised the kindness—it was evidently considered a mark of respect due to female dignity—a privilege which any gentleman might be moat to ac- knowledge. _ “Coolly done,” remarked an individual in a to our friend. ~ 'y,’’ was the laughing reply, ‘but T’ll give them a lesson by and by, and they'll be likely to remember.”* sf ee * Why, thee won't say anything, surely ?”” bs Indeed, I will—the opportunity is too good to be lost ;’’ and somewhat annoyed, it must be confessed, though less by the loss of his seat than by the rudeness of its ungracious oecu- pants, he walked away to the window and occu- pied his vision with the things without. An- other station—another bat ie ladies rose to depart. They had near! ly reached the door when a clear, manly voice called out, “Ladies.” There was a general hush, while every eye was turned upon the serene countenance of our traveler. “ Ladies, you have occupied my seat during the ride from L—, and I cannot allow you to leave without expressing my sense of the obligation, also the hope that when next you enter a crowded car and a gentleman vacates his seat for your accommodation, you will at least have the politeness to thank him.” A shout of applause rewarded the speaker, and the tadies, (?) lowering their confused faces, retreated hastily, to digest. as best they might, this sudden but merited rebuke. Did every lady, especially every young lady, know there is always in every car, omnibus, steamboat or other public conveyance, notwith- standing the ordinary external aspect of its oc- cupants, a self-appointed jury watching her actions and ready to cm sentence thereon, she would look well to her “manners,” and, in cultivating those indispensable outward sem- blances of good will, she would unconsciously foster the germs of an active and wide-spread- ing benevolence. Unobtrusive words of kind- ness cost nothing beyond the effort of speaking, and many 2 weary pigs has been bright- ened thereby. A simple “ Thank you,” coined in the heart and rung upon the lips with the genuine sound of the “true metal,” ts a more efficient weapon than the sword of the con- queror. ee p Srvon ees bli cantare ea nuggs opened his saddle bags to the In- dian woman for the land, Gen. eeu who wanted a slice, came to Suggs and said, ‘‘ Mr. Suggs,”’ said he, “I'd like to have an interest in your contract, and I'm willing to pay for it; I'll find the money to pay the Indlan, and give you an interest of one-third.’’ “Not ‘thout I was willing. would ye?” asked S: jeer- ingly. “Dll do better than that,”’ said Taylor, «Tl furnish the money and give you half the land sells for when we part with it!” Very proverbly,”’ remarked Simon, “ but onless some on ye counts me out five hundred. and furnishes el own money to buy the land with, I shall ve to onlock these here,”’ patting the saddle- bags. ‘‘ and buy it for myself.’ “I'll doit!” said Col.

A Peep at tue Couet.—By the assistance of C. W. Tuttle, Esq., late assistant at the As- tronomical Observatory of Harvard University, now resident in this city. we were able to see this comet on Friday last with Mr. Greenough’s achromatic telescope, notwithstanding the bril- liancy of the full moon and the strong twilight prevailing at that time. It was more satisfac- torily seen on Saturday night with the same instrument. At that time it was on the confines of the circumpolar constellation Cameleopard, near Ursa Major. it exhibited a round, nebu- lous massof light, slightly concentrated. of about two minutes of are in diameter. Its excessive faintness on both occasions was owing to the united effects of the full moon and strong twi- light. There being no known star within the reach of the annular micrometer, its position could only approximately be determined. The elements of this comet resemble those of the comets of 1532 and 1661, and if they are identical, then this comet has continued to re- ive around the sun once in every ten years since, unseen by human eye till the 25th of February, 1846, when it was discovered by Brorsen. The dimensions of its orbit are now well ascertained. Its aphelion is beyond the orbit of Jupiter by more than thirty-six millions of miles. At its perihelion it was just within the orbit of Venus. The comet's geocentric | motion, at this time. is mostly in right ascension, being upward of fifteen minutes of time daily from west to east. On the 244 instant it wiil be near the bright star Beta Urs Majoris. It was nearest the earth on the 8th instant, bein; then about twenty millions of miles distant. It is now receding from us, and will not be ble to the naked eye during its present apparition. This is the comet the Europeans announced would strike the earth in June. But in Amer- ica it has been confounded with the great comet of 1566, which has not yet appeared —New- buryport Herald. ee SUFFRAGE IN atH CaRoLina.—Governor B-agg, of North Carolina, notifies all persons en- titled to vote for members of the House of Com- mons, that polls will be opened on the first Thurs- day in August next, to take the sense of the voters as to the ratification of an amendment to the con- stitation of the State making the suffrage therein free.
