drama was enacted in the dnGy
court room. y father and mother
brought Their daughter before the
Judge and asked that she might be

Girl. who could not have been more
ihan sixteen, was in Il state OF hys-
terlcal excitement, sobbing Is though
her heart would break, and evident>

father, a cold bloodcd looking person
Of determined aspect, cXplalned to

COMMENCEMENT AT A STATE IEsTI-
THTT0M

The commencement exercises of the
East Tennessee University at Knoxville
came of this week with unusual
eclat. The B~accalaureate sermon vas
preached Sunday night by Rev. P. D.
Cowan to a crowded audience at the
Opera House. Monday night oraticns
we're delivered at the same place by two
s~tudents-J. W. Wallace, Of Concord,
on =" The Study Of the Mind" and 7. j.
McLemore, of Brownsville, on The
Universally Of the Law" They repre-
scented, respectively, the Chi Delta and
Phil~omathesian societies. ColonelM Moses
White, formerly Of this city, delivered
an able aud beautiful address to the
societies, and presented the diplomas to
the societies. Tuesday night the very
elite Of the city, and many visitors from
. distance, were present, it being the oc.
casion of the annual address before the
Alumni Association of the University.
DR.. F. A. Ramsey introduced Col. Leon
TrousdaIe. the Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, an Alumnus of the class
of l84l, as the orator Of the occasion.
We find his address in full in the Chroni-
Gle Of Wednesday. 1t was perhaps the
happiest and most beautiful effort Of his
life, coming up to the full measure Of
his ripe scholarship, varied experience
and generous heart. His appeal in be-
half Of popular education was especially
effective and convincing. The address
was worthy Of the man and the high
position bestowed on him by the Gov
eruOr. Governor Porter was present,
but owing to hoarseness was unable to
speak. Colonel G. NJ. McGhee, secre-
tary and treasurer Of the University, at
the close Of the address gave the Alumni
an elegant reception at his residence.
The annual commencement took place
on Wednesday. The East Tennessee
Univeriity vas never in a more flourish
ing condition, and it is a State institu.
ton Of which every Tennesseean may
well be pro1d. Step, are about to be
taken to raise its grade by establishing
colleges Of agriculture, philosophy of
mechanics and letters. AS we have said
before, it is destined to become one Of
the principal seats of learning in the
whole land.

FemaIe Luxuries In the Ea.t Indiea

The ladies' in the above climate have
recourse to several modes of insuring
domestic comforts, to which we in CHS
country are comparative strangers, to-
wit: The punkah or ventilating fan,
which consists Of q long and broad area
of canvas, fixed in a suitable frame, and
suspended by cords from the roofs Of
the sitting apartments, and exercised by
means of native menials employed espe-
cially for that purpose. 1t may be con-
sidered IN indispensable article Of fur
niture in all inhabited dwelling. houses,
wherein a constant current of air is de-
Sirable. This ventilator is kept in per-
petual motion by means Of a rope, at
tached to the lower extremity Of the
punkah or fan, and is pulled toward the
agent, and as suddenly released, so as to
admit of the same keeping up a constant
u~ndulating motion. During the dry
weather in India the heat would become
intolerable to Europeans, were it not for
this mechanical mode of raising the
wind" Ladies, again, are, on their ARR.
val On the shores Of Hindoostan, much
annoyed by a cutaneous ailment, known
under the name of "prickly heat"
which is attended with an insufferable
irritation of the skin in the regions Of
the back and shoulders. To relieve this
torturing irritability, artificial ivory
hands, constructed upon a small! scale,
have been contrived, possessing a course
Of fingers furnished with o complement
of model nails; the hand is then screwed
into a short, light cane, and can be effect
ually applied to the back and shoulders
OF the sufferer, and thereby afford a
temporary relief from the iksome in
convenience attendant upon the individ
ual so distressed. Further, with a view
to keep the rooms as cool as possible in
India, capacious mats formed OUT Of a
odoriferous description Of grass,
which goes under the name Of kuss-kuss,
are supported against the open windows,
and are kept continually sprinkled with
water from the outside Of the dwelling
throughout the day.

SALARY SKIRMISHING.
How superintendent Picket Sc.
cured u Salary of $4,000 per An.
mum,

AMlAEL ~
cured u Salary Of $4,000 per An.
mum
Some days since the retrenchment
committee Of the Educational Board
presented a report cutting down the sal.
aries Of principals and teachers of the
public schools from ten to twenty-five
per cent, but recommended that Super
i%ntendent Picket should receive $2700
per annpm instead Of $4,000 as formerly.
The injustice of the salary grading hav.
ing been shown up by the LEDGER, some
thing had to be done to satisfy public
opinion, which is always in favor Of JUS
tice and fair play.
AT The adjourned meeting held last
night the report was read and a motion
was made to adopt that section giving
Superintendent Picket $4,000 per annum.
Visitor Hill objected, and showed that
the proposed salary was not graded
down on the same per centage scale'as
were the salaries of principals and
teachers, and he proposed $2l0O per
annum. This was being generally dis
cussed, until one Of the Picket men
moved hat the matter be postponed
until the other salaries we're determined
upon. When again called up Mr.. Hill
renew d his proposition Of $2l0O. Mr..
Randle proposed $500. Mr.. Fontaine
$24OO, Mr.. Vernon $500, Mr.. Treze.
want $2250, a discount Of twenty-five per
cent. Mr.. Hill showed that the Board
commenced retrenchmcnt by cutting
down the salary of the Secretary one
half and the salaries of the principals
and teachers from ten to twenty-five per
cent and he did not think it just or
fair to pay the Superintendent any
greater pro rata amount, consequently
he believed $2lO0 to be sufficient.
1t was resolved to take up these seve-
raj propositions in order, commencing
with the highest and with the following
result: Mr.. Vernon's proposition for
$4,000 was defeated, as wal also the re-
trenchment committees proposition fer
$27OO. On Mr.. Randle's motion for
$500 the following vote was taken: For
the Experimentation Randle, Wig.
gin, Smith, Kortrecht, Speers, Frank
land Townsend, Folkes and Vernon-9.
Against the proposition-Visitors Kelly,
Duffy, Martin, Fontaine, Churchill, Hill,
Rambaut, Trezevant and Glisson-9-a
tie vote. President DR.. Mitchell now
had to vote and decide tue matter, as the
next drop would be to Mr.. Fontaine's
proposition for $24OO. President Mitch
ell, after a little hesitation, announced
that he would vote in favor Of the propc-
sition for $25OO, aud the thing was done,
which established the rule that the man
or who did the heavydrudgery and
daily work in schools should be cut down
on salary many per cent. lower than the
man who superintended, who did com
~psrativeIy little work, and who received
a big salary,

dent occurred on the Dakota division Of
the Northern Pacific railroad, about half
way between jamestown and Dakota, on
Wednesday afternoon, and resulted in
the death Of VIM. Fitzpatrick, road mas
ter, and Charles N. Saunders, of Bis
marck. Mr.. Sullivan, Superintendent
Of the road, and Fitzpatrick were riding
on the pilot Of the engine at the time,
and at the point Of the accident the road
bed had been washed out a few hours be-
fore, leaving the rails and ties in posi-
ton. superintendent Sullivan and Fitz-
patrick both jumped, the former escaping
with some severe bruises, and the latter
being caught under the engine as it fell
over. He had been roadmaster since
the road was completed, and was %univer-
sally respected as an efficient officer.
The engineer and fireman were badly
bruised, but not seriously.
In the United States Court six persons
engaged in stealing government grain
have thus far been convicted and await
