Princeton, March II.
Dear Mother-I am not making
so much progress as l expected in
my studies, because there's a great
deal else TO attend TO here. But we
have lively times. / have just re
turned from the burial of Billy
Cook. He was shot last Tuesday
day night because he wouldn't al
low the sophs to take of his panta-
looms and paint his legs red and
green barber pole fashion. This IS
the last degree conferred on tie
freshmen by the sophs. / wish you
would send me a six-shooter, two
hundred cartridges and a double
barrel shot gun. We amt going TO
stand any more nonsense from the
sophs. After prayers this morning
our class were all busy making
sand bags. We're putting up bar
ricade on the east end of our build
ing, and intend TO mount it with q
six. pound canonade. The losses in
our class have been pretty heavy
this week. John Hilton is very
low with a bullet in his stomach
and Seward Livingston is not ex
pected TO recover from the stab in
his side,and Jack Rhinelander IL
famed for life by a bullet in the
knee, and Sam Astor has lost the
sight Of one eye from n brickbat
There isn't q whole window glass In
our college building. But you wait
motherl You just wait a few days
and you'll hear something! We're
undermining the sophs' quarters
We're working day and night. The
tunnel Is now 40 yards long. II
goes straight over the campCs and
under old Prex's building. View,
established communication with his
cellar, and tell you a drop Of clar'
ct or Burgundy Is very nice 70 have
after n fellows handled n pick and
shovel half the night. We shal
use dynamite. Keep shady, moth
err. There won't he a soph left by
this time next week.
Your afectionate son,

Desirable Advertising Mediums.

The New York Sun maintains
that "what makes 9 journal desira
BILE as medium for advertising is,
first, a large circulation, and second
ly, the hold it has on its readers
the moral and intellectual influence
il exerts upon them. A paper may
be printed by the million, and
thrust as a gift into every mans
hand, and yet as an advertising
medium it may be of no reaf val.
ue. But a paper which has the
confidence of its readers, which at
taches them TO it, and steadily az
fecks their opinions, provided It's
sales are great, is one into which q
wise business man will get his an
nouncements, even at large cost
Vast sums OF money are every yeal
wasted in advertising, simply from
lack OF understanding this very
plain principle"

try, and l shall not attempt a repe-
tition. 1t preserves ard repeats
distinctly and accurately every word
and every tone of voice used by the
speakers. In the present instance
it produced in the hearing of the
crowd a great variety of words and
sounds. The whole repertoire of
barnyard music, from the cooling of
dove to the quacking of ducks,
cackling of hens, growing of COCKS
and lowing of cows. Then it re-
peated snatches of opera music
sung into the mouth piece, also
Yankee Doodle, Dixie, Old John
Brown and other popular airs.
Then it would burst out in scraps
of poetry such as "Bingen on the
Rhine" "Maud Muller" "Old
Mother Hubbard" slack and Jill"
&c. Then whistling, laughing, cry
ing. shouting and singing by turns.
''Mary had little lamb,
Its heas were white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went,
The feas were sure TO 60"
This, and scores of other bits Of
talk or poetry were given with
amazing accuracy and distinctness.
Mr.. Edison, like every great man,
is a most modest, unassuming gen
tleman, but possesses wonderful se
MUS as an inventor. He has taken
out in the last few years 15S patents
and 70 caveats, and is just now upon
the threshold of his life's work.
Success to him.
THE LAST CARD OF THE PACIFIC MO-
NoPoLIsTs.
Congress has not made great
progress in legislation during the
past week, but the committees gem
orally have been hard at work. In
the House Committee on Pacific
Railroads an effort was made by an
attorney of some French holder of
bonds issued by the Memphis and
Ell Paso railroad, to invahdate the
title of the Texas d. Pacific to its
franchises; but Gov. Brown, vice
President of the last named road,
proved to the satisfaction of the
Committee the perfect right and
title of his road to all its claims.
This last move of the obstruction
lists has come to naught, and the
continued and violent opposition to
the L. 81 p. by the California Rail
road Syndicate only increases the
strength of the measure which they
wish to defeat. Men that were
doubtful one month ago, are now
the ardent friends of the Texas q
Pacific, and there is every assurance
that this session of Congress will
give to the South and West the one
great measure which they demand
as a simple act of justice. j. L. t.

on the move. One peculiar low in
the herd will stampede the drove,
and woe be unto whomsoever stands
in their way. The COW boys (all
are called ''cow boys" if they are as
old as Methusalah) can throw a
lariat like a savage and are as fan
tastic in their "get up" as the cold
lunatic in Pulaski going by the
euphoneous name of Gen. Lee.
We return to Waco after a delight
full tour and enjoying the broad
hearted hospitalities of the ranches,
I to say farewell to friends, among
them loved school mates whose
hands 1 had not clasped, until this
visit, since we stood together on the
school room steps, when every leaf
of the book of life which had began
to unfold was golden leaf full of
glorious hopes and joyous antici-
pations.
CALAIS, for Time. and Death, and Care,
What gloom about our way they fingl
The dreams which each successive year
Seemed bathed in hughes of brighter pride,
At last, like withed leaves appear,
And sleep in darkness side by side"
Texas has a wide extent Of beau
tiful territory. She has her untitled
pastures, her rich and productive
soil teeming with wild fruits and
flowers. She has also her cultiva-
ted fruits, among which are figs,
grapes and peaches, said to be the
finest that grow under the sun. She
has neither stumps, gullies nor
rocks to impede the cultivation; yet,
s0here shall he turn when parched
beneath her burning sun, with
continent of dust down his throat,
for paldta6Le drink OF water?
She has, too, her Bermuda grass,
destroying in its sweep, running
along the ground with an unheard
of rapidity, climbing fence three
feet high, and diving down into the
earth as many more, to contend
with. She has, also, her bad roads,
her pestilential diseases, her sting
ing Lizards, her monster snakes,
her tarantula's, and last. tho not
the least, her cruel norther. Thus,
in whatever direction we look, we
find that necessarily where one set
of desirable qualities exist, there
will be a corresponding set of equiv
alent disadvantages; and the same
principles prevail throughout the
universe under Gods wise provi
dence.
So, amidst these reflections, the
brakesmaD cried out, Texarkana!
and we die, as it were, out of Texas,
and are born into Arkansas.

The Delinquent Subscriber.

One day last week, while sad and dreary,
As we wendell, weak, and weary,
Across the unswept floor:
We heard, at first, gentle tapping,
Then it became an earnest rapping,
AT our sarctum door.
"Come inl'' we said; while yet he pondered,
And in silence we still wondered
What for us could be in store;
Then, the door-bolt gently turning,
In he walked. Our cheek was burningi
Thoughts of crimson gore.
"a re you the man who does the writingl"
What word viii rhyme with this but fight
ing!
Quickly thought we, DER and o'er),
"Sir, we are" we gently told him,
Nodding to the boys to hold him,
If he tried to beat Us sore.
'Then you'll please give me credit
Opposite that little debit,
For two dollars more.
like your paper. aud viii take it
AS long as you will strive to make it
As good as it has been before"
We jumpedl He dodgedl Thus we missed
him,
Or we surely would have kissed him,
No matter if the boys did roar;
So seldom treated in this manner,
We felt inclined to sing hosannahl
Only this and nothing more.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion Of the American
people are to-day dying from the effects
OF Dyspepsia or disordored liver. The
result OF these diseases upon the masses
OF Intelligent and valuable people Is
most alarming, making life actually a
burden instead OF a pleasant existence Of
enjoyment and usefulness as ID OUGHT 10
be. There Is no good reason for this. IN
you viii only throw aside prejudice and
skepticism, and take the advice of Drug
gists and your friends, and try one bot
tie OF Green's August Flower. Your
speedy relief is certain. Millions of bot
ties OF this medicine have been given
away to try Its virtues, with satisfactory
results IN every case. You can buy a
sample bottle Of your druggists, sump-
ter ~ Lacey, for 10 cents 10 try. Three
doses will relieve the worst case. POSI-
lively sold by all druggists on the Vest

Tne Antecedents of Disease

Among the antecedents of disease are
inertness in the circulation ofthe blood,
an unnaturally attenuated condition of
the physique, indicating that the life
current is deficient in nutritiYe proper
ties, { wan, haggard look, inability to
digest the food, loss of appetite, sleep
and strength, and a sensation of unnat-
ural languor. All these may be regard
ed as among the indicia of approaching
disease, which will eventually attack
the system and overwhelm it, If it is not
built up and fortified in advance. In
vigorate, then, without loss Of time,
making choice Of the greatest vitalizing
agent extant, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, an elixir which has given health
and vigor to myriads of the sick and de-
bilitated, which is avouched by physi-
clans and analysts to be pure as well as
effective, which is immensely popular
in this country, and extensively used
abroad, and which has been for years
past one of the leading medicinal staples
of America. may2-lm

The Murphy movement" was in
augurated by Francis Murphy, an
Irishman by birth, who came to
this country when sixteen years of
age. He settled at Portland, Maine,
where he was proprietor of a hotel
and gambling house until he muir
dered a man, when he was tried
and received q severe sentence of
Imprisonment in the penitentiary.
An appeal was taken; case was put
of, and Francis Murphy remained
in jail two years, at the end of
which time he was pardoned. Dur
ing his stay in Jail be repented, and
resolved to be better man. After
his release he moved To Illinois,
where he lived a quiet, Christian
and exemplary life. On November
q, 1876, he commenced his temper
ance lectures at Pittsburg, PeDnsyl
vania, since which time the move
mens has spread over the entire
country with wonderful rapidIty
and snccess.-MeBphis appeal.

In the fall of 1877 Priest of the
Roman Church delivered a course
of lectures on questions at issue be
tween Romanists and Protestants.
which were widely circulated
through the missouri Republican.
Bishop Marvin was prevailed upon
to deliver these lectures in answer
to the more prominent errors OF
the Papacy,. not in a spirit of con-
troversy, for he was not a contro
versionalist nor q religious bigot,
but with the view of enlightening
those who perhaps would prefer to
be enlightened through this means.
1t was subsequently determined to
publish them in book form, and
here it is before us-concise, COM

A Railroad from Pulaski ito Clifton.

Since the decision of the Supreme
Court Of our state, that the sub
scription of $4,000, as voted by
our county, in the latter part of
1875, for the building of a railroad
from Memphis to Knoxville, is not
valid, owing to the defective char
ter, we cannot hope for this line to
be built. But, a road from Pulaski,
passing through Lawrenceburg,
Waynesboro, and to Clifton on the
Tennessee river could be built.
The strongest opponents TO the late
railroad project, favor this line.
Mr.. r. j. Cypert, who ives the lead
ing spirit in our county against the
former road, assures us that if q
charter can be procured for a road
from Pulaski to Clifton, that he will
vouch to Wayne county's taking
$4,000 stock, payable in one, two
and three years. That this would
be the making of Pulaski, none can
deny, for with this line, she could
reach out to st. Louis, Cincinnati,
and in fact all the cities of the Mis-
sissippi and Ohio rivers, and re-
eeive her freight at much lower
rate. than any rival point. We are
inclined to the opinion that Pulaski
and Lawrence county will JOIN
heartily in this enterprise. The
people of Lawrence responded no
bly, to the call before, while the
large majority of the people of Pu
laski are equally anxious for such
road. We are of opinion that
$4,000 to the county for Wayne,
Lawrence and Giles could be raised.
This would give us a capital of a
quarter of mi'lion dollars, a sum
sufficient, not only to complete the
road bed, but to lay the iron and
equip with rolling stock. 1t is
needless for US to argue the great
advantages such a road would be to
our country. Set the ball to going.
= Wayne Citizen
We believe that such a road, con-
Meeting with daily steamers on the
Tennessee river, and fed by the i'm
mense iron beds of Lawrence and
Wayne, would be great thing for
Pulaski and Giles county. BY the
connection alluded TO we would
have an outlet to all points
north and south, and that by the
cheapest possible means-wateI
transportation. 1t would give US 9
competing line, especially in freights
and make Pulaski terminus, there
by securing to US the cheapess pos
sible through rates. This one saw
ing would pay for the road i'll few
| years.
