10 PROFESSOR HUXLEY. Lecture on Education at the Inauguration of the Johns Hopkins University. | THE SCHOOL AND © THS UNIVERSITY. Liberal and Medical Education—Encourage- ment of Intelligent Research. THE FUTURE OF AMERICA, Barrimonn, Sept, 12, 1876. Professor Thomas H. Huxley, of London, England, at the invitation of the trustees of the Joins Hopkins University, to-day delivered an address on “University Education”? at the Un imaugaral exercises, which took place in the Academy of Music, Protessor Huxley declined to receive any remuneration tor his tervices on the ground that 1t was a pleasure to him to contribute to the foundation of the University. Professor D. C. Gilman, President of the University, welcomed and introduced Professor Huxley, not only 43 a man of science, but as a teacher, sayirg for many years be hat been a Prolessor in the Royal School of Miners in London and that he had recently occupied a professor’s chair in the University of Eduburgh. Vrofessor Huxtey, upon being introduced, amid loud applause from the large audience present, spoke as follows :— GeytLemeN oF tHe Boarp oF TRUSTEES OF THE Jouxs Morkixs University :— The actual work of the university founded by Johns Hopkins commences to morrow, and among the many marks of confidence and good will which have been bestowed upon me in the United States there is nono Which I value more highly than that conferred by the authorities vf the university when they Invited me to deliver an address on cuch an. occasion, for the event whica has brought us together is, in many re- Spects, unique. A vast property is handed over to an Administrative body hampered by no conditions save Vhese:—That the principal shail not be employed in buildings; that the funds shall be appropriated in #qual proportions to the promotion of natural knowl- adge and to the alleviation of tho bodily sufferings of mankind; and, finally, that neither pclitical nor eecles- astical sectarianism shall be permit ed to disturd the impartial distribution of the testator’s benefaction, Ta my experience of life a trath which sounds very much like a paradox, bas often asserted itself, viz. :—“That a man’s worst difficulty begins when he is able to do as ho likes.” So long as man is struggling with obstacles be has an excuse for failure or shortcoming ; but, when fortune removes them all and gives him the power of floing as he thinks best, then comes the time of tal. Phere is but one right, and the possibilities of wrong tre infinite. 1 doubt not that the trustees of the Johns Hopxins University felt the full force of this truth when they entered on the administration of their trust a year and a half ago; and I can but admire the ac- tivity and resolution which have enabled them, aiaed Dy the able Preeident’: whom they have selected, to lay down the great outiines of their plans and carry it thus lar {nto execution. I have been endeavoring to see how far the principles which underlie the plan are m accordance with those which bave been es- tablished in my own inind by much and long continued thought ou educational quesuous, Under one aspect a Uuiversity 13 4 particular kind of educational institu. tion, und the views which we muy take of tho proper hature of a university are coroliares trom those which we hold respecting education in general, 1 think it must be admitted that the school should prepare jor the university and that the university should crown the edifice the foundations of which are laid in the tchool, University education stowld not be some- ting disiinct from elementary education, bat should be the natural outgrowth and developinent of the latter, Elementary education should enable an average boy ol fifteen or sixteen to read and = write his. own — lauguage with ease and sccuracy, and with a sense of literary excellence derived trom the study of our classic writers; to have a general acquaintance With the history of his own country and with the great laws of social exist ence; to have acquired the rudiments of physical Belenc Jair knowledge of elementary arithmenuc He shouid have obiamed an acquaint- nd geometry. imple than by precept, co with logic, rather by © while the ncquirement of th nis of muse and frawing should have been pleasure rather than work. 1 1 EDUCATKC It scoms to me that such a training as that to which Uhave referred may be termed liberal with pertect ac- curucy iu both the senses in which the word ts em- ployed, It is Lberal im breadth, It exiends over the whole ground of things to be known and of facuitics” to be traiued, and it gives equal importance to the two great sides of human uctivity— artand science, In the secoud place it 1s tiberal in Jue sense of being an’education fitted for freemen, tor ton to whom every career is open, and from whom their country may demand that they should be fitted to perform the duties of any career; but it is of vital importance to the weltare of the community that those Who are reiieved from the need of making a livelihood, And still more, those who, stirred by the divine im: pulse ol intelidctual thirst or artistic genius, should be enabled to devote themselves tothe higher service of tueir kind as centres of intelligence, interpreters of bature or creators of new forms of beauty, and it is the tion of w university to furnish such mon with meaus of becoming that which it 1s their y und privilege to be, For this end tho university 1 coter no ground foreign to that occupied by the tiementary school, Indeed it cannot; for the ele- mentary iastruction Which | have reierred to ewbraces alt the’ kinds of real kuowledge and mental activity known to man, ‘The university can add no new de- partments of knowledge, can offer no now fields of mental activity; but what it can do is to intensity and specialize the Instruction in cach departinent, ’ MEDICAL EDUCATION, After a reference to the details of the work of a University the speaker discusxed at some length the education of medical students. Ho said:—Lt ds clear that the university and its antecedent, the school, may best co operate with the medical school by making due provision for the study of those branches of kvowiedge which he at the foundation of medicine. At present young then come to the medical schools without a conception of even the elem + physical teience, aid learn for the fiest Wins st there are such Wienees us physics, Chora ¥ aba Liysiowgy, and are introwuced to wim, use ching.

This subject of the encouragement of re- Search, or, as it is somctimes called, the endowment of Search, has of late years greatly occupied the minds of men in Rogiand.

AMUSEMENTS, MR. COGHLAN IN ‘‘MoNEY.” A splendid audience welcomed the first appearance of Mr. Charles F. Cogblan in America at the Futh Aves nue Theatre last night, He made a decided hit, His Alfred Evelyn, in “Money,?’ is not better than that of a few of our own colebratea actors, but it is an exceptionally fine performance. Ho has a fine face, which recalls the portraits of John Pi:tipot Curran; abrightand unusually expressive eye and movile features, It is an actor's faeo, aud all good actors have a kind of samily hke- ness. His gestures are sew and swift, and bis defect is a certain awkwardness, or rather angularity, of man- ner, Ho {3 an intellectual actor. Is methods aro earnest, honest and true, There ts no tusin- cerity im bis style, and he commands re- spect by his directness and power, Thero is a maniiness about him that we particularly admire, and ho is free trom the tneks with which vanity sceks to compensate for the conscious want of skilL Mr, Coghlau is the best actor that England has sent to America for several years, In tho second act, Where Alired Evelyn telis the story of his lilo and love, he made a deep impression, and was called before tho curtain at the end of that act and when the curtain dropped upon the fourth, If the interest declined after the second act itwas not the fuult of the actor as much as that of the. author, “Mouey”? declines and has its anti-clmax in the fourth act. The auditors anticipate the end of the piay, aud Bulwer only stretches their patience, not their interest, upon the rack, Yeunyson, in a poem published in Punch but sup- pressed long ago, deseribed Lord Lytton us “the padded inan who Wears ‘the stays?” This padding we see in all bis plays. It is ike Kotzebue in his “stranger? — half talse and half true. There Wag one situation of which Buiwer was very fond—tho separation ot lovers by misunderstanding. lt is so. in the “Lasy of Lyons,” in “Richelieu,” and it 13 so iu “Money.”? He plays upon this theme ay a good voice sings a beauutul melody slightly out ottune, In A fred Evelyn we tind some touches of Hamlet and of Timon of Athens, There 18 an impres- siou Inade of more artifice than of art, Sull “Money”? hag great merit; it is eifective, it bas clever dialogue and strong elects, and when it is well piayed it never fails to interest the audience. ‘Yho performance by the Fifth Avenue company was generally good. Mr, Charies Fisher was eapecilly capital as Graves, and he and the “Sainted Marta” did much for the success of the revival of the play. Mr. John Brougham was, of course, capital, and made the selisb character of Mr, Stout more pleasant than it ought to have been, If Iago 1s nothing if not critical, so John Brougham 18 nothing if not genial. Mr. Davidgo was excellent as Sir John Vesoy, aud Mr. Bar ryimore appeared to advantage as Sir Frederick Blount, Mr. Jonn Drew was too young in appearance for Sit Dudley Smooth, but acted the character well, and the Old Member as empbatically do- veloped by Mr, J. H. King, a new member ot the company. Another first appearance nere was that of Mr, Frank Bennett, who rendered a small part cleverly, The ladies were not as successtul as the gentlemen. Misa Jeffreys-Lewis as Clara revealed some pathos, but there was too much of the “linked sweetness, long drawn out,” in her elocution, while Miss Emily Rigl's foreign’ pronunciation was hardly suitable to the réle of Georgina, We liked the Laay Franklin of Miss Mary Wells; it was meant by the author to be a kind of satellite to Graves, and if it had to be slightly burlesqued the author and not the actors should be blamed. Altogether “Money” opens Mr, Daly's» eighth season brilliantly, and it could hoid | the stage for a long while, tor Mr, Coghlan alone would make it an absolute success, THIRD AVENUE THEATRE, This week a new and attractive bill is being offered at Hitchcock’s Third Avenue Theatre. A crowded haugo was tho result on Monday night. Tho pro- gramme, though varied, was not too long, the per- formuuce concluding goon after ten. The minstrel quartet singing was very good and the two end men wero equal to their line of business, Three lady vocal- 1gi8 are among the attractions, Misses Ida Deverc, Eva Gray and Eunice Moors. Besides these thre’ wa Jobn Tudor, character vocalist, aud tho well knowa Ethiopian comedian, Cool Burgess. RPICURUS IN NEW YORK. SOME ACCOUNT OF AN OLD-FASHIONED CLAM- BAKE ON MANHATTAN ISLAND.

WISE, OF VIRGINIA. General Henry A, Wise calmly and peacefully breathed bis last at forty-one minutes past eleven A. M. yesterday, at his residence in Richmond, Va. He had been confined to bis room since April last, during which time he suffered [rom a severe cold and cough, contracted, it is supposed, while in Washington argu- ing the contested election case of Piatt vs. Gore be- fore the House Comittee, His illness was further aggravated by a combination of disoases incident to old ago, and his suffering at times was very great, His end, however, was painless and he conversed to the last in his usual vigorous manner, At his bedside stood his wife and his two sons, Richard A, and Jobn 8 Wise, hia three daughters and two grand- sons, and a faithful nousckeoper, wuo had been in the family for thirty years. — Shortly before dissolution he appeared to be stronger than usual and was perfectly conscious, His lust expros- sious were characteristic and gave ovidence of an in teliect that was undiinmed up to the moment his spirit took its flight, Speaking of himself, he re- marked:— “My life has been devoted to virtuggand integrity. I never robbed the poor, and what is better and casier I never robbed the rich,” Ava later bour he called his son Jobn to his bedside and gave him somo good advice as to tho manner of bringing up his children, remarking:— “Take bold, John, of the biggest knots in life and try to untic them, Try to bo worthy of man’s highest estate, Have high, noble, mauly honor, There is but one test of anything, and that is, to bp right, If it is not right turn away from it. These were his last wores, Articulation failing him, ho afterwards gesticulated and signalled for whatever he wanted, and in three-quarters of an hour trom his latest utterance tho great Virginia orator and fiery ‘Tribune was no moro. The funeral will take place on Thuraday morning, and will be attended by a largo circle of relatives, the Executive and Stato oflictals of Virginia, the military and the populace geucrally, Since the war Governor Wiso devoted himself untir- ingly to his profession as his only means of living. Ho reused on all occasions to ** bow the knee,” and to the last he stood out almost a sohtary “rebel,” relusing to ask pardon for sins which he claimed never to havo committed, He took no active part in politics and was regarded as equally oppored to both the existing par- ties on the ground that they were equally rotten and corrupt. Governor Wise, of ante-robellion days, was one of tho Jast of that race of Virginia politicians who once made the old Commonwealth a power and an impulse in tho government of the nation. He was not so wise as Madison, nor so eloquent as Henry, but he was the off spring of a civilization which had plantations for its homes and politics for its sustenance. Yet be was called “the old man eloquent,’ im greater desert than many a talker who has bad the commonplace quota- tion applied to him. Ho was almost a great man, as he was certainly a powerful man, Ho hated Jeff Davis and he hanged John Brown. His early popu- larity was gained by un onslaught upon the Know Nothing movement, Hie was born im Drummondtown, Accomac county, Va., on December 3, 1806, und was descended trom the Wise family that setiled the Eastern Shore of his native Stato over 200 years ago. His parents died when ho was a child of some seven yeurs, leaving him to the care of bis relatives, by whom he was sent, in 1821, to Washington College, Pennsylvama, then pro- sided over by Dr. Andrew Wylic. Here he distin- guished himself asa debater, and im 1824 was gradu- ated with high honors. ‘The Joliowing year he entered the law school of Henry St. George ‘tucker, and in 1828 wus admitted to the B: Soon after, Mr. Wise went to Nashville, where he established a profitable practice and also married his first wife, the daughter of Dr, C. Jennings, a Presbyterian minister. In 1830 Mr. Wise returned to Virginia, and in 1832 was elected a delegate to the Democratic National Con- vention at Baltimore, where ho advocated the nomina. tion of Andrew Jackson. Daring the spring of 1843 hi became a caudidate for Congress ag, in some Tespeets, a supporter of President Jackson. His competitor for the position of Representative was Mr, Kichard Coke, who had held seat in the Lower House fer two terms and who had opposed the measures of the President during the nullification troubles, Mr. Wise, though opposed to the Force bill, was equally opposed to the course pursued by south Carolia, “The canvass was a very fierce one, The extreme State rights party used their utmost efforts to defeat him, but without avail, He was olected, and soon after foughta duel with Coke, whose arm Was shattered by a bullet during the encounter, The carver of Mr. Wiso in Congress was a inost success- ful one throughout the five terms during which he served. Although a democrat he was not a partisan— tn tact, he was so independent 1 his course that noth. ing short of his personal popularity caused his repeated re-election, He was one of the sevonteen democrats that went over to the opposition when President Jack- son ordered the removal of the deposits trom the United States Bank at Philadelphia. In 1836 he sup- yorted Judge Hugh L. White, of Tennessee, for the Presidency, and trom to 1840 Was among ‘the most prominent’ and determined opponents of the sub- treasury policy of President Van Buren. During the campaign of 1840 he supported Harrison for President, making numerous speccbes throughout New York and other States, aiding to a considerable extentin the eloction of that genticmen. Prior to that time he had wartly advocated the admission of Texas into the Umon’ as _a means of strengthening the slave In 1837 his participation as second m a duel n Representatives Graves, of Kentucky, and Cilley, of Maine, in which the iatter was killed, caused bin to bo severely denounced, although it waa subse- quently shown that he had’ made every exertion to have tie diflerences of the principals amicably seitled, In 1842 Mr. Wise was appointed Minister to France by President Tyler, but the nomination was rejected by the Senate. Ata later date, during the same year, ho was appointed and confirmed as Minister to Brazil. He remained at Rio Javeiro until 1847, when, his suc- cessor arriving, be returnca to the United States, In 1848 Mr. Wise gave a hearty support to General Cass, ani was one of the Presidential electors from Virgina, In 1850 he was elected a inember of the State Consti- tutional Convention, aud in 1852 was on the Pierce electoral ticket in bis State. In 1855 Mr, Wise made a fierco fight upon the Know Nothings, Who had begun to invade Virginia, He was at ame time a candidate for Governor, to which oftice, owing mainly to his personal zeal in the canvass, he was ed. 1: was in the year 1859, during Governor Wise's term in Virginia, that the famous raid of Johu Brown occurred at Harper's Ferry, in that State, Brown ex- ed by capturing the United States arsenal to 82- by causing an insur. of slaves, to make war on the slave-owners, he failed. With twenty-two men undertook to abolish siavery, Alter aights and a day against the Tmilitia of rectiol History tells he siave soil Brow | fightung two the neighborhood Brown and bis twenty-two men were deleated by the troops and arullery of the United States under Colonel Rovert E. Lee. ‘The new eiviliaas tion had tuet the oid, and for a moment was whipped. Wise was sorry that he had not arrived at the battle. field in time to give the survivors no quarter, or, at loast, to try them by court-martial. He saw, however, that Brown and hisiven were in civil hands, and ho gave them all the protection tn his power. Governor Wise was threateued with assassination if he did not liberate and pardon Brown. He was asked to send the old abolitionist to prison for life; butim the face of all opposition the stern old Governor, with one hand on hi stitution And the other «n the roli-cail of Virginia's slaves, decreed that Brown, martyr or no martyr, shouid die. In 186 Governor ‘Wise, having been succeeded by Letcher, was far from desiring that Virginia sbouid secede from the Union, His aoctrine was merely that a State might accept oF reject the federal laws and sutil main within the league, as a bead rewains upon a ring. He became a Drigadier general in the Confed- erate army, but was nowhei fulasa warrior, being driven out of the K Hey at first sight by General Cox; losing everything st Gauley Bridge, and finally finding himseit whipped from Roanoke Island by Burnside in a battle at which bis son was among the slain. Since the war he Das occasionally appeared with an old-time word avout polities, utterly tor getful of the fact tbat the demagogue and propagandist style of political discussions used at a time when Northern democrats were atraid of Sou: ern politicians, 18 bo longer powerful either In public journals or in’ party caucuses, Like some fleabicss #kull ho rose: above the graveyard of the past, iooked about tu the ghostly twilight, and oblivious of the new civilization, spoke as it the oid réyime were reigning, pnd sank to bis final rest According to the olden time he was strong; but he lived through only a little cycle of popularity, and wae abandoned by lis State when he showed any sign of independence, Ho was a better man atoong his peers than many whose reputa- Vons aro greater, HON. J. PARDUR. A despatch from Lafayette, Ind., announces the deatti from apoplexy, in that city, of Hon, J. Pardue. The deceased was the founder of Pardue University of Latayetio, and was in many respects a great benelae- tor to the city. Ho was universally respected, and bis sudden death is deeply regretted by the citizens of Lafayette. RIGHT HON. SIR JOHN R QUAIN. A cable despatch from London says that the Right Non.

WHAT THE HEALTH AUTSORITIFS THINK OF THE CRANCES OF AN EPIDEMIC IN NEW yORK. . ‘The health authorities do not scem to be at all exer- cised over anything connected with the cases of yel- low fever which wore discovered in the city last week, except as to the manner in which the Hegatp procurea the information concerning them, which it published yesterday, That isa source of no little mortification to them, as they hoped to be uble to keep the matter quiet, Their desire to do this was actuated by a wish to prevent alarm among the people, although they con- tend that there need be not the slightest fear on ac- count of the cases that have been made public.
