AN AsTHMATIC PRISONER,


He was fat man, almost as
wide as the corridor door, and as
he came out, one of the neWsbOyS
whispered:
"What a sinker he'd make for
a fish line!"
"Your name is Rufus Jackson,
is it"' asked the court.
"Yes-certainly-of course my
names Rufus Jackson" Whcezed
the fat man in reply.
And you hail from MilWau-
KEEP"
why, yes-certainly. Lived
there twenty-eight years"
And you was drunk last
night?"
mo, sir-no, sir-I deny the
charge in tOtum. Never was more
astOnished in my life sir. Per-
haps you have taken me for some
one else"
perhaps [ have. Mr.. Jackson,
but if you weren't drunk how
came you to be lying fiat on the
walk, hat in the gutter, satchel
in the street, and your feet spread
all over? And when an officer
raised you up, Mr.. Jackson, you
plainly and distinctly exclaimed {:
'Zon't g'way am lemme' lone Pll
knock 'er head off = Would d
sober man make such a remark"
"May it please the court" said

said the court as the prisoner
paused, ''once | was like child.

and after thorough investigation and
trial. the Board were brought to tho
conclusion that the best interests Of
the University demanded change in
the faculty. Not recognizing the claim
to life estate in 0 professors chair,
the Board proceeded to make such
changes as in their judgment would
best promote the interests Of the whole
people of tho State without regard to
tho political or religious faith of tho
members Of the faculty, either old or
new. In considering the qualifications
of an occupant Of, or on applicant for
a position in the faculty, tho Board did
not inquire into bis political prselivi-
ties or religious faith. Whether our
predecessors have dono so or not wo
will not now discuss. We believe
that We have secured men Of frst-class
talent. devoted to their profession, aud
who will reflect credit upon the Uni
versity and honor ppop the State.
The office Of President is still vacant,
but the Board hope, shortly to secure
the services Of a President who will
be oil that the friends Of tho iustitu.
ton could wish. In tho meantime tho
duties Of the Executive have been de-
volved on the Vice President, DR..
Lott. The board will cudeavor faith
fully to discharge its duty both to tho
University aud tho people Of the State
regardless Of the calumnies and bitter
dcuunciations that have been heap ed
upon them by those who would rule or
ruin the University.

70 The People Of IVES! TTrginia:
The State OF West Virginia, aided
by the Government Of the United
States, has established q University
for he liberal education Of her sons,
and to carry out the object Of its es-
,ablishment the Legislature ha, au-
thorized and required the appointment
Of a "Board Of Regents who ore
charged with the management and
control Of the same. Ia tho year
1878 tho present Board Of Regents
were appointed and entered upon the
discharge Of their duties. The Board
were glad to witness the progress tho
University had already made but re.
grCtted that it had assumed the char
aoter and peculiarities Of o local rather
than that Of a State institution. The
causes which led to this lOcalization We
will not now discuss. it is enough to
say that this, as well rs other causes
were seriously hiudering the prosper
ity Of the University and depriviug it
of the patronage Of a large portion Of
the State. The Board felt tue duty
resting upon them to correct this evil.
Not desiring to afford even an opportu-
nifty to cvil.disposed persons 10 injure
tho University by INDUCING 10 false
criticisms and unjust dcnunciation Of
its government, the Board resolved
not to make such changes in tho facul-
ty Of tho University rs tho cmcrgcn.

to euro the evil il possible in another
manner. They accordingly released
the President Of Tho Faculty from oil
