IV President Grant made a visit
to the camp meeting at Round Lake
N. Y, July 18th, having come over
from Saratoga Springs. Whom it
became known that the President
was in the audience some curiosity
was manifested to see him, and a
few ladies stood on the seats for
that purpose. Bishop james intro
duced him to the congregation as
the President of the United
States = the President bowed and
the people applauded, the solemn
purpose for which they had assemb-
led seeming to have been forgotten
for the moment. It was only for a
moment; for, when the opening
prayer was offered that the bles-
sings Of the Almighty would descend
on the man called by Providence to
rule the destinies of the nation, a
ferYent Amen rose from the entire
congregation. After dinner, the
President was conducted by Bishop
Simpson to the preachers stand
again where he spent nearly an
hour in shaking hands with the peo-
pie. In the midst Of this, COM
pany Of about 200 little girls pas
sed by the stand shook hands with |
che President, singing as only child
rem can sing, "Oh I'm so glad that
Jesus loves me-" The President
was much moved by this incident;
and thought it was more lovely like
than the Knoxville style of sticking

r. And now comes the Philadel-
phia Ledger and the N. Y. Journal
of Commerce each saying that ru-
mors are current that the different
Railroad companies intend to COM
bine and do their own Express bust
moss that is, carry the packages and
receive the full price themselves, in
stead Of letting the profits go to Adj
ans Express Company. So, after
all the cussing he has received, Ma
hone will be initiated sooner or later

dead head contemporaries will ulti-
mateIy swear they were always OPP
posed to the principle OF compli-

their lifelong love for so patiently

OUR EDUCATYONAL INTER.
ESTS.

THE MASONIC FEMALE ACADEMY
No town in East Tennessee has
been more highly favored since the
war with school facilities than Nor
ristown. 1t is true, in other towns
large sums of money have been ex-
pended in school buildings, and the
people in these communities are sat-
is6ed that the outlay of money has
been judicious. The facilities for
educating their sons and daughters
at home, together with the intellect
ual and moral advantages, have al
ready compensated them for the
money expended. In our town the
expenditure of money for buildings
has not been burdensome. Save a
few hundred dollars, raised about
eight years ago to repair the Female
Academy, not one cent has been
asked toward building or repairing
school property. All that has been
done, has been done by Messrs.
Wilson, Carriger and Summers.
notwithstanding the apparent lit
tie interest our people manifest, our
schools have been most successful. |
Both have been full all the time.
For the last ssven years. mr. people |

daughters in the best of schools and
at the samn time the business of the
town has been kept alive by large
expenditures Of money from people
who have patronized the schools.
The number of boarding pupils has
never been less than sixty. These
pupils have not only paid their board
and tuition here, but generally pur-
chased their books and clothes from
our merchants. The average ex-
penditure has not been less than S.
per week for each pupil. This has
put $4,000 annually in circulation.
This is not all. Had we not had
the schools here, large number of
pupils would have been sent to
other schools, where the expend-
lures would have been considerably
greater than here, as schools of the
same grade and excellency as ours
are much more expensive in most
other localities. But the money is
really the smallest benefit. The i'm
provement in society, mentally and
morally, is the great advantage this
community has received. We wish
to call the attention of our people
to this subject, as 1t Is the most I'M.
pOrtant interest in Morristown.
The schools open the oath Of Au.
gust. Are you, citizens, thinking,
consulting, laboring, to make your
schools q greater success than hereto
fore? Are you speaking to your friend
from distance Of the advantages,
in cheapness, morality and thorough
ness of mental culture offered here?
We will speak this week, particu-
larly, of the Masonic Female Acade-
my. No more efficient corps of
teachers can be found any where.
Prof. Summers, the Principal, is too
we'll known for us to add anything
to his reputation as a teacher. But
we feel it duty to refer to a few
things. Seven years ago. he came
as q stranger to our town. He
brought with him all the savings of
his life, and has invested in the i'm
provements Of the town. privately
and publicly, more money than he
has received from the people for his
services as teacher. Besides this,
his merits as a teacher has enabled |
him TO maintain, by far, the most !
school for girls in East |
Tennessee. We would not detract |
from the merits Of other schools, but
only state plain unvanished fact,
when we say, that no school has
)een SO full all the time. The dis
,ipline and teaching have been as
rood as the numbers. We will con-
niue the discussion Of this subject
It another time.
