The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1871-03-02

The writer visited this Institution, at
Lauderdale Springs, on Friday last, to at
tend a special meeting OF the Board OF
Trustees, called chiefly for the purpose OF
electing a Superintendent, in place of Prof.
S. S. Cranberry, recently deceased. The
attendance of the Board was unusually
large-Prof. T. S. Gathright, presiding.
Capt. 7. J. Dupree, of Noxubee county,
and a steadfast friend of the Home, was
unanimously elected superintendent, and
will no doubt accept the place. He will find
it difficult to fill the place of the lamented
Cranberry; but he seems peculiarly fitted
for the position, and the children at the
Home have long since learned to know and
love him.
A considerable amount of business was
transacted by the Trustees. The present
location-one mile North of Lauderdale
Station-it appears by the reports submitted
to the Board, has been entirely paid for, and
there is now in the treasury sufficient to
subsist the children for the next few
months. The buildings, however, are in
sufficient and unsuitable, and an effort will
be made to erect commodious and comforta-
bic dormitories during the coming summer.
There are now Ill children at the Home.
Applications are daily received for the adj
mission of others, buthave to be denied for
the want of room. The children all seem
happy, are comfortably clad, and generally
have plenty of plain fare. They attend
school alternate days, and ARE variously en-
ployed the balance of the time.
The present favorable condition of the
IT Al.
concerts which have been given by the
children. Mr.. Trimble is now on a tour,
with thirty of the children, through Ala
bama and Georgia, where we are sure they
will be affectionately and generously re-
ceived. NTH meantime, let our own peo-
pie continue to contribute to the sustenanee
OF the children, and to the permanent es-
Enlistment of this great public charity.

1t appears that All Sin, 'whose smile
was [so] pensive and childlike," came
naturally enough in possession of those
powers of artifice which wrung from Bill
Nye the declaration: "We are ruined
by Chinese cheap labor" for we are told
that the Chinese, at home and abroad,
are inveterate gamblers-card and dice
being the principle means whereby they
while away the time and lose their
money. Chess, draughts and dominoes
are also, it is said, highly in favor, and
lotteries possess for them peculiar fas-
cination. Shop-keepers gamble away
their wares to customers, street-iugglers
win their patrons spare cash by means of
their cheating tricks, and gambling
houses, similar to those of Europe or
America, flourish in all the large cities
of the Flowry Kingdom. One peculiari-
ty of the Chinese pack of cards is that
they contain many more than the Ameri-
can, fact which may account for that
numerous Z" hand of Jacks that All Sin
held in his sleeves on the occasion of his
unlucky game with w. Nye

the invention. Il Is composed Of pairs of
rollers similar to car-wheeIs, secured upon
a suitable axle, which revolves upon ordina-
! ~ friction rollers This rotary track has
its wheels ten feet apart and under it the
cars are suspended by rails thirty two feet
long that glide over the rollers with perfect
freedom and safety. Six strong elliptic
springs kconnect these rails with the cars

Gated in buildings or under the Streets
These engines are one mile apart, and pro-
pei an endless wire cable or chain around
light horizontal drums, sixteen feet in di-
ameter. The attachment to the car is so
simple that boy ten years old can work
IL. and the cable is so constructed as not to
be liable to get out of order or break; but
if such an accident should occur, a new ca
bic being ready, can be put in in few min
utes.
The cars are intended to be thirty feet
long and ten feet wide, divided into three
compartments, and seating comfortably
forty-two passengers each. They may be
run singly or in trains and safely, thirty
miles an hour. The stations It is proposed

more than telegraph poles, which, by the |
way, as well as lamp-posts, may all be dis |
pensed with along the line, and this struc- |
ture be used instead. Superior eheapness, !

The Great VernaI specific.

No class of invalids are more sensitive to
changes of seasan and variations of temper
allure than dyspeptics, and persons of bill
ious habit. Tender lungs are not mere east
ly affected by these vicissitudes than tender
stomachs. If there is a tendency in the
system to indigestion, biliousness, or bowel
complaints, the variable weather of early
spring is almost sure to develope one or
other of these ailments. Intermittent fevers
are also more prevalent in thespring months
than at any other season except autumn
In view of these facts, this seems to be a
proper time to invite especial attention to
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a medicine
which for a long series of years, has proved
superior to all Others as a remedy for the
above named disorders, and as protection
against the miasma which frequently pro-
duces and always aggravates them. 1t was
formerly the practice to give violent ca
thartics as "spring medicines nor is YET
the custom entirely obsolete. Nothing.
however, can be. more ill-judged and I'M
philosophical. The chillir moisture with
which the air is loaded at the breaking up
of-winter, presses heavily upon the vital
forces of the body, and reinforcement, not
depletion, is what it requires. The Bitters
is genial and excellent tonic, moderate
Alternative. andjust enough of an aperient to
regulate, without CONFUSING, the bowels

said to be very interesting, the descriptions

True Hospitality.

Many a wife might read the following
paragraph from Emmerson, and be wiser
therefor:
o excellent wife! incumber not yourself
and me to get curiously rich dinner for
this man or woman who has alighted at our
gate, nor bedchamber made at too great a
cost. These things, if they are curious in
them, they can get for few shillings in any
village; but rather let the stranger see, If
he will, in your looks, accent and behavior
your heart and earnestness, your thought
and will, that which he cannot buy at any
price in the city, and for which he may well
travel twenty miles, and dine sparingly and
sleep little, to behold. Let not the emphasis
of hospitality lie in bed and board; but let
truth and love. and honor and courtesy,
flow in all thy deeds.

AN important decision in a bankruptcy
case has just been rendered in the United
Stats District Court Of New York. by Judge
Blatchford. Eight creditors had proved
their claimes TO the amount Of 1881 600, and
consented 70 the choice of trustees, who
were relatives Of the bankrupt: but another
creditor objected TO the confirmation of the
decree: on the ground of this relationship.
The court decides that a relative ola bank
rupt can be legally appointed his trustee in
BANKRUPTCY. where there is nothing but the
fact OF relationship to show that he will not
discharge his duty toward both bankrupt
and creditor. The decree is, therefore,
affirmed. This decision settles an interest
ing point.
