...instructors. He has returned, having with him studies of Venice, views of her palaces, interiors, and also a copy of V. Cappaccio, which, with a few pictures painted since his return, make up the exhibition. His style is in sympathy with the English water-color artists and has a touch of pre-Raphaelism about it. Mr. Bridgman has taken a studio at Cambridge, and there may be in this a fillip to "the Cambridge school...
...faculty oppose a fence because they believe the students oppose it. To do a thing distasteful to us and then excuse it by claiming that we wish it, is a little too much. Student nature can bear no more. This idea overpowers us so that we are unable to touch upon the other argument - the "aesthetic" argument as the HERALD calls...

The lecture will be "A Statement of Southern Problems," and will embrace the following topics: The industrial situation and outlook, the changes in agricultural methods made by free labor, the progress of manufactures since the war, the resources of the South.

The first, which levied very low duties, ranging from five to fifteen per cent., did not touch upon those industries which have since become the great objects of protective controversies. The controversy of 1789 has little connection with those of subsequent years. In 1808, after the embargo, manufacturers, in the sense that we understand them, began, and the textile fabrics and other goods of that class were...
