Thure are, we believe, two institution3 of leaming besides our own íq the United States in which courses of instruction are given in "Political Science."' But so far as we have been able to ascertain the courses given by those institutions on this subject are not as comprehensive as that adopted by the university of Michigan. Thisuniversity, although belonging to the state is practically a national institution. The permanent increase of the university is derived from a gift of the nation, and all of the facilities it affords for educational purposes are given at nominal cost irrespective of residence, nationulity, or any conventionality. As one result of the establishment of this school, we expect to see an increase iu tho number of students from foreign countries as well as from various parts of the U. S. Frank Loslie's Popular Monthly. The September number is especially noteworthy. The opening article, by George Alfrei.1 Townsend, entitled "Days of Gloom in the White House," is timely and very interesting, embodying a history of the Presidential mansion, and the most prominent incidents in connection with the attempted assassination of the President. The article is illustrated by sixteen fine engravings. There are sketches, essays, poems, and an abundan t miscellany replete with interest and valuable information. The number is embellished with a handsome colorei frontispiece, "He Won't Hurt You," from Heywood Hardy's painting. The price of a single copy is only 25 cents, and the yearly subscription $3, postpaid. A specimen copy will be sent post-free by incloeing 25 cents to Frank Leslie's Publisning House, 53, 55 and 57 Park Place, New York. Detroit Free Press: "A report was cur rent on Saturday night that a young woman had died suddenly üomewhere on Abbotstreet.

Carroll, a millionaire manufacturer, who died in Baltimore a few days ago, has been admitted to probate in the Baltimore county court, and, in one respect is a remarkable document. After bequeathing all his property, estimated to be worth several million dollars, to his large family about equally, he places the sum of $100,000 in the hands of his executors to defend the will iu case of litigation. In this connection, he says: "While I have of ten been filled with disgust at the efforts of children to break their parents' wills, and the wasting of the fruits of their labors in litigation, I hereby express my hope and earnest desire that my children will cheerfully accept the provisions of my will. No oue of them has attempted lo influence me. I had rather my property were buried in the depths of the ucean than wasted in litigation and the peace and harmony of my family destroyed in the bitterness of contention." Therefore the income of $100,000 or so much thereof, oi of the principal, as may be needed, is set apart to defray any expenses reasonably iucurred in defeuding the will or resisting any effort to break or alter any of its provisions, and the rest of the $100,000 is to be divided among such of his children or their heirs as make no attempt to break his will or ïesrBt any of iu provisions. Should all acquiesce, then the $100,000 is to be thrown in witU the rest, and made subject to tbe división.
