CONFECTIONS.

this bequest was invested in State stock, Septer four, Rose, and Satanparilla

ber 4, 1998-viz: 8199,500 in 500 bonds of State of Arkansas, $1,000 each, at six per cent, semi- annual payments, and a further investment of 88,270 87 in bonds of Michigan, at six per cent. These securities are variously spoken of but they are guaranteed by the General Government. More than $100,000 interest have already accumulated since this investment, and betwoon five and six years have gone.

Fugitur, interea, fugitur irrevocabila tempas. Time has passed with irrevocable flight, and the pation has reaped no fruit, and there has been no diffusion of knowledge from this magnificent dona. tion.

Such is the clear and express words of the bo quest, that committees in Congress in whom it has been referred, and every reflecting man who has examined it have been convinced that the fund cannot be appropriated to the education of children or the foundation of seminaries of learning. It is alone and exclusively for the increase and difu sion of knowledge among men and the location of the establishment for this purpose must be in Washington,
