THE SCHOOL LAW.

The school law of Mississippi has done its
first work, and not one particle of advantage
has been secured to one individual in the
State. The State Superintendent, an adj
venturer of the first water, has made money,
and legions of understrappers have become
familiar with the handling of money not
their own. Instead of benefting the coun-
try, the minds Of the people have been made
more acquainted with wrong. On general
principles of State policy, free public
schools are necessary; but wisdom in or
ganization, and a knowledge of what is
required are much needed.

THE EMINENT NAN.

That man you call Alcorn is certainly a
strange man, if not desperately bad man.
Is it possible that all Southern Governors
are mean? Hopes were entertained that
AlcOrn was better than the balance. His
former social status, and the connections he
has with the best people of the country,
warranted the trust; but Holden, Brownlow,

chronicle their deeds? Posterity will re-
member their names, but to shudder!

woman was foully dealt with. The young

THE HOUSEHOLD ANGEL.

Her name shines not in hammered field.
Where right and wrong SO boldly war;
Nor rings her voice in any cause
Which men and women battle for -
Yet in her presence, subtle, sweet,
You long TO kneel and kiss her feet.
No wondrous romance wreathes her life
Nor hath she led martyr train:
Nor beautiful nor rich is she,
But poor, and-some would call her plain;
Yet in her two dear eyes you see
A beauty shining constantly.
No silken robe enfolds her form;
Nor dainty leisure has her hands;
Her jewels simple ring;
ribbon binds her hairs smooth bands;
Yet in her garments simple grace
Her souls regality you trace.
No gift she has to shake and thrill
A thankless world with warbled songs,
and art that wakes the ivory KEYS
To other hands than hers belong;
Yet in her words OF tender cheer
A richer music char ms the ear.
She walks in humble ways of life,
That lead oftimes thro' gloom and shade;
And cares and crosses, not few,
Are on her patient shoulders laid;
Yet smiles and drinks each bitter cup,
And keeps her brave eyes lifted up,
And homely ways she wreathes with grace,
Harsh duty turns to loving zest;
And CHEEKY hope and steadfast will
Are at her side in work and rest
Yet never dreams she you can spy
The angel looking from here eye.

The mmander-in- Chief Of the French
Army Of the North.

Louis Leon Cesar Faidherbe, nov
Commander-in-Chie of the French
Army of the North, was born at Lille
on the Sd of June, 1918. He was ed
ucated at the college in that place. en-
tered the polytechnic school IN 1888,
then went on to the military school at
Metz, which he left in 1912 with lieu.
tenants commission in the 1st regiment
of engineers. He served first in AL
geria, where he remained throughout
1874 and 1915. Having obtained the
rank of captain, he sailed, in 184S, TO,
La Guadalupe, where he acquired
much colonial experience, and became
Injured to life in the tropics. Having
failed IN obtaining an appointment
at Senegal, he returned to Algeria
IN 1850, where he constructed the
outlying fort of Bou-Saada, took part
IN the campaign of Kabylia, under
Gen. Saint-Arnaud, and also in the ex-
petition of Gen. Bosquet to the Alger-
ian highlands. The services he per-
formed at the time of the disaster
which then occurred were rewarded by
the Cross of the Legion of Honor At
the end of that year-1S52-he was, at
his reiterated request, sent to Senegal.
Here he soon gave proofs of remarkable
administrative ability, and, after two
years. residence, showed such knowl-
edge Of the needs, the dangers, the
economy, and the practical policy of
the colony that in 1854 he was made
Governor of the French possessions in
Senegal. M. Faidherbe now devoted
himself to the fulfllment of the task
he had so long wished to take in hand
the thorough renovation of the colony.
He carried on successful warfare with
the Moors of Furza, bus his principal
warlike achievement was the struggle
he carried on for some time, and over a
great extent of territory, with
the prophet El-Hadii-Omar, who
had conceived the idea of
founding vast Mussulman Empire in
Central Africa, and driving out all for
eign intruders. He compelled this
apostle of Islam to submit in 1860, and
left Senegal to command the sub-divis-
ion of Sidi-bel-Abbes, having been
made Lieutenant-Co of Engineers
In 1855, and Colonel in 1858. But his
absence was soon felt in the colony, his
policy was not maintained, his instruc-
tions were neglected, and everything
refrigerated. On the Goth of May,
1863, M. Faidherbe, raised to the rank
of Brigadier- General, resumed the seins
of government in Senegal. Two years
after, his health requiring his return to
a less murderous climate, he took the
highest command in the subdivision of
Bone. M. Faidherbe has written much
on the manners, language, and history
OF the African nations, as well as on the
topography, geology and archaeology of
the districts they inhabit He is a
member of the Geographical Societies
of Paris, London and Berlin.

A IS Boston Girls and the War In
France.

A curious but interesting story is
told by the Washington Patriot, jour
nal edited by Mr. Harvey, lately Min
lister to Portugal, gentleman likely
to be well informed upon the intrigues
of Peninsular politics.
The Patriot says that for a long time
negotiations were going on for placing
upon the throne of Spain Dom Fernan-
do, the father of the King of Portugal
Dom Fernando was The wldower of
Donna Maria IL, and had married af-
forwards an American lady, Miss Hens
Ter, at the time connected with the
Grand Opera at Lisbon Miss Hensler
was a native of Boston, who had stud
led music in Italy, and achieved
some success on the operate stage,
while the charms of her person and the
graces of her character were universally
admired. Before her marriage with
Don Fernando, the Duke of Saxe-Co-
burg had created her Countess d'Edla,
and her position was one in every way
calculated to ensure her happiness.
But Prim and the Spanish Cortes were
unwilling to receive her as Queen Con
sort of Spain, and as the gallant old
Fernando made this sine qua non, the
negotiations fell through, and the
throne was offered to the Prince of
Hohenzollern. Then came the war
Such is the romantic story, from
which the Patriot thinks it clear that
the war resulted from ''the unsatisfied
ambition of Boston girl. Post hoe
is not always propter hoe. There never
yet was a war which was not traced up
hu rxyal r..

used always to declare that the war in
the Crimea would never have occurred

residing In one of the embassies

dinner for Lord Stratford de Radcliffe,
which was designed to compose all the
troubles between Russia and the west
ern powers. The soups were soothing,
there were pates q la 71acifc0tion and
conciliatory croquettes, and the cilte1ate
cordiate was to pervade and character
ize the whole menu down to the
Maraschino; but the fine lady had the
headache, the dinner was postponed,

ssOrder Of Old Women"

OA>~
To parody Juvenal's hackneyed line,
being men, nothing concerning women
is alien to u.s. We read, therefore, with
lively interest, that new society has
been formed in England, called "The
Reformed Order of Old Women" sort
of cross between burial society and a
convivial club. Some of the rules of
this sisterhood are curious. It's primary
object is declared to be the cultivation
of friendship, the pleasure of good
company, and the improvement of NOR
ais, and in these respects it is that
"every old woman shall cheerfully sub
scribe her wit to enliven the meeting,
as well as her money to defray the nee
essary expenses of the lodge" which is
like "the Sorosis" again. But other
bylaws full of painful suggestions fol-
low. .. Thus:
"Any sister swearing, or singing any
improper song, or giving any improper
toast or sentiment, shall be fined three
pence" Moreover, we fear that Betsy
Prig and Sairey Camp must both be
among the Odd Sister; if not, why had
the society adopted the following rule !:
"Any sister entering the lodge-room
in a state of intoxication shall be fined
one shilling; and every visiting sister
shall pay two-pence for ale, to be drunk
with the lodge ale the same night, and
any sister refusing to do so shall be
fined one shilling to our own lodge
fund.
eff they draws the Brighton Upper,
here" said Mrs. Camp, 81 takes that
ale at night, my love, it being consid-
cred wakeful by the DOCTORS" AS
there is an intimate connection between
wakefulness and the "wit" which
every Odd Woman is expected cheer
fully to Subscribe" it seems to be
rather an oversight that the constitu-
ton of this lovely choir does not insist
upon "the Brighton Upper" to the
exclusion Of every other brew.
