pity on the poor dying boy. See Luke
XIV, 11-S2,a which passage tells the
parable of the prodigal son; but there
was no answer, except to forward the
remains when Charles was dead.
CHARLES A. GOODMAN took GREAT
pains to get a little money from Miss
Roberts, in Cincinnati. They boarded
in the same house, she being dress
maker and he reputed ex-army officer.
He told her that he was very wealthy,
although the fact was that he was pen
niless adventurer. She fell in love with
him, but hesitated about marrying him
before learning something of his antece
dents. One day he pretended to faint
away, and, on being put to bed, said
that his illness would quickly kill him,
as it was the result of an old wound
which he had long known would finally
prove fatal. He expressed a desire to
marry Miss Roberts before he died, and
bequeath her all his property. She con-
sented, and they became husband and
wife. Then he recovered, permitted his
wife to pay his board for several weeks,
borrowed the $50, all her savings, and
disappeared. eggs 7'aT
LIFE in Memphis is described as be-
ing only little more wholesome than
death. Yellow flags are displayed at
every turn and crossing. The hospital
sign was counted in eight places along
one short square a few days ago, and
since then two others have been added.
The curfew-bells now tolls at 9 o'clock,
and after that hour the streets are de-
serted. In the last epidemic crowd OF
whisky drinking nurses and seltzer-wa-
ter doctors kept the town alive. In this
epidemic the only sign of life is the en-

Meteoric Rivers.

There are four or five of these masses,
but that of August, which we encounter
every year, and that of November every
thirty-three jyears-thc most astonishing
of all-are the chief ones. The great
November mass is supposed to have
existed outside of the solar system till
about the year 1876, when it ram near
enough Uranus to be dragged FROM its
course by the attraction of that huge
planet and set in motion round the sun.
We have met it every third of q, century
since, but the records are very incom-
plete. 1t is estimated that il, is now
about 200 miles through and over
SOC, O,0O0, 200 of miles long so that the
head is almost touching the earth's orbit
while the. tail is back between Jupiter
and Uranus. Its length is SO great that
moving twenty-five or twenty-seven
miles a second it takes two years to pass
clear. round the earth, and the conse-
quence is that we have two fmeteoric
displays in two successive years,in 1882
i'm Europe, in 1888 here, in 1866 in
Europe, and in 1867 here. The August
ring is encountered every year, and
spreads clear round its orbit, though it
probably started in a lump, like the
November body. If so it is an older
body than that of November, the latter

iointing attraction of the sun long

, Haryard's Chinese, Professor.

oThe arrival of the, gprgeously cos
tuned new Chinese Professor at Har-
ward, Ko Kun Hua, with his wife, five
children and interpreter created some
stir in drowsy Cambridge. President
Eliot being away yachting, the party
was temporarily quartered in the hos
pital building, near Holiness Field.
The establishment OF the professorshlp
is due to the efforts of Francis T Knight
of this city, at present United States
Consul at New Chwang, China. Mr..
knight, when last here, in the. early part
of 1877 proposed to President Eliot the
establishment Of a Professorship OF Chi
.nese at Harvard, reasoning that 1T would
be. of great advantage to young men in
tending to enter commercial life, and
who would be likely to engage in
business with. the. East, to have
a /. speaking familiarity with the
Chinese language President Eliot
took counsel with the. Boston mer--
chants engaged in the China trade, and
then wrote to Mr. Knight, stating his
harmonv with his views. subsequently,

of the plan having been raised ,by pri-
fvafe subscription, the fary ard lInIyer-

place "on every Monday, Tuesday ex

Lord Palmerston assures US, provided
for the possibility of Good Friday hap

The centennial celebration Of the
settlement Of Middle Tennessee, at
Nashville, to take place April 9th,
1880, will be a notable day in Tennes-
see annals. The programme embraces
orations from some Of our most distin-
guished citizens, among whom we
mention Albert T. McNeal, Esqr., Of
Bolivar, whose theme will be ''Andrew
Jackson, John Overton andt he Settle
ment of West Tennessee" We heart
lily commend the selection of Captain
McNeal as one of the orators ON that
occasion. His subject, full of historic
interest, will serve to aid him in max
ing most valuable literary contribu-
ton to the historic Importance of that
anniversary.

tonic properties Of good aneedote he
restored healthy appreciation in the
mind Of all hearers. Though chock
full Of fun, he is as leyel-headed man
as ever saddled the high-mettled stock
of old Summers best blood. Come
again, Cam. Stein Of Shelby, Friedel
of Madison, Simmons Of Hardeman,
Doggett Of Salisbury, each contribu-
ted much to the interest Of the occa-
sion. Rev. John Park, of Bolivar, in
an able address closed the exercises.
He is a cogent reasoner and one of the
most popular Presbyterian divines in
Tennessee.
Thus passed a feast of reason and
flow of soul amid circle of select lit
erary brothers. These annual reun-
ions stimulate educational enterprise,
slarpen intellect, test teaching meth
DDS, start new theories and explode
old ones and Enthusiastically lead to a
purer and brighter era in the educa-
tional history of the State.
Our Commonwealth Will enter, in
the near future, new and richer fields
of material enterprise, if only our peo-
pie viii be guided by the torch of
learning as lifted aloft by our distin-
guished and learned educators.

the avenues Of employment which may be
and ought TO be opened to women. and for
which they may receive special preparation
in school, which occupied the entire remain
der Of the session, and the question seemed
to arouse such deep and practical interest
that motion a committee was appointed
to investigate and report to the Institute
what avenues of employment may be and
ought to be opened 20 women. and as to
Pchools"-Profs. Foute, Brown and Park
were appointed on said committee.
EVENING SESSION JUNE 25TH.
President Trousdale called the Institute
to order at 8 o'clock. After some excellent
music by the string band, the Messrs. Gray
favored the Institute with 'Larboard Match
fine Duet for male voices to which they
did full justice.
President Trousdaie then introuced Prof
Z. ). Douglass, of Hendersonviile, who de-
hvered an able, eloquent and we'll written
address on the subject OF Educational As
tendency" We say delivered, because, al
though pre- pared in manuscript, the speaker
soon became inspired as it were, with the
grandeur and beauty of his theme and be-
came rather the orator than the reader, In
well-chOsen words and eloquent periods he
drew Contrast between the ascendency Of
ignorance and that of education, depicting
IN glowing colors, the miseries OF the one
and the glorics OF the other. BY statistical
and other proof he painted out with painful
accuracy the present condition of Tennessee
and showed that the education of the mass
es must no longer be postponed or neglected
We would preserve putation and .ie. Prof
Douglass speech should be in the hands Of
every magistrate and school director in Ten
nessee as an exposition in unmistakable
language of their duty to their State and it's
children.
Miss Lizzie Wood, of Bolivar, then laid
the Institute under obligations by sing
ing in a most gracious and captivating
manner, one Of the brightest and sweetest
vocal selections We ever heard, whose words
gay and piquant as they seemed to be,
received additional beauty and expression
from her easy and skillful handling of both
