Thirty years ago collegiate educa.
ton cost an economical student from
81 GOO to 81 200 but SO great has been
the advance ia the cost OF tuition, books
and living that now the average cost for
each male student yearly is from $500 to
81 800 aud for each female student, from
S420 to $500, and consequently the
complete collegiate education Of boy
costs from 81 1900 to So 800 and of a girl
costs from 50. 100 to s10,500. This
seems to be putting good education
farther out of the reach of poor folks
children than it was thirty years ago.

RAILROAD TO TRoY.-In to day s
paper will be found communication
which we think deserves the attention Of
every one who feels an interest in the
future< welfare of Hickman. We must
have more railroad connections and
whether connection at Troy with the
Mississippi River road is one from which
we may secure desirable advantages is
the question. So long as Hickman is
the western serminus of the Nashville
aud Northwestern road, that would in
sure US a connection with the Mississippi
River road; but would that connection
answer the purpose and give us the same
trade as one at Troy? We think not
The principle trade Of Hickman now
comes from The lower part of Obion and
northern Dyer, which 10y this Troy cen
neotion, she would continue to hold; with
out il, it is more than probable it would
find its way to Paducah and Memphis.
We have not had the time this week to
give the matter that thought and inves-
LEGATION which it seems to merit, but will
attempt to do so hereafter. In the mean
time we trust all those interested-ard
there can be but few in this city and
along the line of the proposed road who
are not-will give us their assistance in
the investigation, and their conclusions
-us to the advantages which Hickman
would likely derive from such connection,

The Effect Of the Sickles and No
Farland Trials.

Judge Walton, in, his charge to the
jury in the Hoswell case, at Augusta,
Me-, laid down the law for jealous hus-
bands III STYLE that would seem rather
odd in this latitude. The ground taken
by this Judge is that the law against
murder Is a just law. and that the pen.
atty must be enforced upon the crilni-
nal, no matter what his provocat ion
may have been. In the present instance
the killing appears to have been done
when the prisoner had reason to believe
that his victim was in the act Of adul-
terry with his wife. Judge Walton was
"by no means certain that the prisoner
was not led to commit the fatal net by
his knowledge Of the result of the Sick
les and Mcfarland trials, and that those
cases have been the cause Of many. MUIR.
ders. These cases," contfnted the
Judge, "are useful only as beacons to
warn jurics against similar verdic,s.-
Their great notoriety is owing to the
fact that they were decidedly wrong
Intelligent and honest jurors should
know them to shun them. Ny belief is
that lenity to such offenders is cruelty t.
the innocent; that the introduction of a
lax administration of criminal law sac
fiflces more lives than It saves"

Boys and Smoking.


The French people carry the practice
Of smoking to a degree of perfection
which constitutes it almost fine art.-s
The men smoke, the women smoke and
the boys smoke. Whether the girls aud
babies smoke we know not, but they
have SO few of them that it does not,
perhaps make much difference whether
they do or not. The effect of smoking
in boys Is said, by All old medical writer
who has been investigating the subject,
to be most favorable to the development
not Of a manly, noble, healthy character.
but Of pallor. anemia, palpitation of the
heart, diminution of the normal
ground Of red globules, dyspepsia, want
Of intelligence, and o liking, more or
less decided, for strong drink. This in
formation must be decidedly gratifying
to the sevans of science who have so
often proved tobacco to be SO wholesome
a narcotic. Added to former evidence,
it will make an argument SO strong that
even that enthusiastic laborer against its
use, George Trask. will perhaps see the
folly of doing any more, and give up
his work of distributing tracts broadcast
to induce boys to let tobacco alone. or
course, they will not let it alone. It's
effects on French boys is incontestible.
What better evidence do they want that
they can use It? And then, again, this
same authority has noticeda very strong
objection to breaking off. He says
"Thoss who abandon the practice before
any organic LESSONS are produced, per-
fectly recover their health" This II
unfortunate. Why should boys wish to
be SO unlike other. people as to bo
healthy? II they arc sickfy they can b,,
petted and pampered, escape work, and
die and 60 out of this naughty world
early. But seriously, why do boys ever
smoke?, Because the example is set
by tlieir elders. They are the most per.
fect imitators in the world. They like
to try their hand at what they see others
doing. Set them good example and
they will follow 1t. Set them bad ono
and they will follow that, too.-Heratd

Casting Great Guns.

q. Guns are cast upright and mouth

are cast solid aud are afterward bored
In \ lathe. Guns above nine iuch cali
brc are cast with q core which, vile MI
drawn, leaves hollow space, which ii |.
subsequently reamed out by the proper
instruments. The furnaces in which the
metal is melted have very high cppqlae.
and, consequently, NO hlast,is required.
the DRAFT being sufficient to fusion..-
These furnaces arc 50 large that l23 tonaa
Of metal can be melted at one blast,-t
The mold 10 made in two TASKS, aat
considerable care Is demanded In their
preparation to insure success to tho cast
ing. They must be thoroughly dry, for
II any moisture remain IN them, they
would, when used, generate steam,
which would certainly destroy the cast
Ing, and might by explosion, seriously
damage the building and injure the
workmen. The interior OF the TASKS
are painted with mixture of molasses
and ground anthracite coal, aud then
placed on iron carriages and run into
ovens where they are baked until thor
oughly dry. The two TASKS or halves
are taken out keyed together, cauiked
with clay, and the core adjusted, when
they are ready for the reception of the
metal. The TASKS are then lowered into
the pits, aud buried up to the muzzIe,
when the metal is run in directly fror,
the cupal9., When the castilg is COM
plete, the gun is left undlsturbed for
twenty -four hours, when the core is
withdra awn carefully, and various pro-
cesses are resorted to for the purpose OF
thoroughly cooling the metal. Some.
times d Jet of cold air is introduced into
the bore Of the, piece aud at other times
cold water is injected in small streams
until the pieceis thoroughly cooled
This consumes various periods, accord
ing to the size Of the gun, those of twen-
ty inches requiring to be left undisturb- l
ed for month. The pits in which the
twenty iEch guns are cast have largo \
cranes overhanging them, eacl, Of !

tons, and has an Independent steam en-
gine operating 1t. Within the past four
weeks an order has been received at
the foundry, from the Navy Depart
ment, for twelve fifteen inch guns. Tho
first two are to be cast from the same
run of metal-ons hollow, on the Rod
man principle, and the othersolid, after
the Dahlgren plan-and these when
finished are to be subject to an extra
proof Of 500 charges each, for the pur-
pose of testing the endurance of each
class Of gun. This will be the first time
In the history of ordnance manufacture !.
where q gun of fifteen inch. calibre has
been cast solid, ana .the ,rccal.B will tp /,
