THAT HAsTY APPOINTMENT.

Governor Porter is very Sc
verely criticised, especially in East
Tennessee, for what is called the
"indecent haste" he made in ap-
pointing Colonel John Mckinney
as temporary Judge to succeed
Judge Gillenwaters. The vacancy
was permitted to exist only a very
short time, though we are not in
formed exactly how many hours or
days, if days there were. The Gov
crnor is not usually in a hurry
about such matters, and we confess
to a little surprise that he should
thus lay himself liable to remark
in this instance. To such an ex-
tent does Indignation prevail, says
the Knoxville Tribune, that on
Monday of last week the people of
Democratic old Sullivan" held a
public meeting in Blountville and

rHE COLoRrp NORMAL SCHOOL.

Upon invitation of the principal,

AHMED the work prepared by stu
dents of LIE Moyne normal and
commercial colored school, of this
city, for exhibition at the Phila-
delphia Centennial, and take pleas
ure in testifying that it is highly
crsditable to teachers and pupils.
Especial excellence was displayed
in map-drawing, of which there
was quite a variety. There were
also drawings of fruit, flowers and
other natural objects that would
compare favorably with the pro-
auctions of most schools where
drawing is taught. We also saw
specimens of composition, penman-
ship and bookkeeping, analysis of
sentences, examples in arithmetic,
algebra, ETC., etc., which evinced
careful training and commendable
progress. The institution seems to
be in a very h%ourishing condition.
1t was founded in 1871 by the
American Missionary Association,
which still sustains the school,
aided by a small endowment fund.
The faculty consists Of seven teach
,ers, including the principal. The
catalogue for the scholastic year Of
1894 shows an attendance of 1888
pupils, which, however, is greater
than the average. The design of
the school is to prepare teachers, in
which progress has been made,
doubtless, satisfactory to the friends
of the institution. The entire
course consists of four years, but
does not include the classics or
higher branches of mathematics.
Many of the better and more pros
porous class of colored people send
their children there in preference
to other schools. The institution
certainly affords the best facilities
and opportunity for developing the

capacity, and qualifying them for

An American invention is just
now attracting no little attention
in the sporting and business circles
in Paris. The invention in ques-
ton is the horse-cleaning machine
invented by Mr.. Small, Of Buffalo,

something over a minute. The
machine has not yet been described

stretching out his head and neck

The most vicious horses belonging
to the Artillery Of Vincennes, and
notably two savage brutes that
never could be groomed unless
thrown down and blindfolded, have
been brought for trial, and always
with the same result.
Mr.. Myers, Of the American cir
Gus, sent a beautiful full blooded
Arab, as wild as a deer, to be expert
mented upon, and had the satisfac-
ton of seeing the dainty creature
brought back with a coat shining
like satin. BY substituting pads Of
felt for the brushes on the machine,
a horse that has become accidently
wetted can be dried in a few min
utes. The grooming process only
occupies from one to two minutes,
and as two hours at least are requi-

by hand, it will be seen what boon

who own or take care of horses. A
