HOMICIDE.
Madison Journal

Quite a tragedy occurred at the
Mounds, Saturday night. William John
son was killed by Willis Woods, both
colored. Johnson was of an overbear.
ing and tyrannical disposition. He
forced Woods daughter. who was To-
gally married to another, to live with
him as his wife. She rebelled, and on
several occasions sought refuge and pro-
lection at her fathers. This exasper-
ated Johnson, and he sw0re revenge
against Woods. She has been at her
fathers since June, and every means
| and threat was used by johnson to again
get her in his power. On the fatal even
ing. Woods went to the Mounds and step
ped into Mr.. Hoggatt's store, when he
was called out. in the dark, by johnson
and his accomplice, Tom Pagan. An
alteration at once ensued, and in the
fight Johnson wa, fatally stabbed to the
heart. He walked some distance and
fell dead.
Deputy Sheriff Coats started Sunday
morning, so soon as the news OF the
homicide reached him, and found Woods
on the way to Delta to surrender himself
He is now in custody. The Coroner, DR.
Mailer, has held the inquest.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES.

The President of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College, has the following to
say about the method of conducting that
Institution:
When student enters the Agricultu-
raj College he is set at manual labor,
three hours each afternoon, every day
of the week except Saturday and Sun
day, and he continues this work until
within few weeks of his four years
course of study. 1t is long continued,
real work, and for it he is paid wages
from eight cents an hour as the highest
down to nothing, if he earns only that.
The students work as faithfully as they
study, and they study as we'll in this
college as students study in any college
with which l am acquainted. There is
as much ambition to stand we'll in wages
as in lessons, and large proportion OF
the students ask LOT, anu SOmeClllieS IT,
ceive additional work on Saturday. Nc
doubt one might see students and par
ties of students at times neglecttu OF
careless in their work, as he may alst
see them in their studies. But as gen
eral thing the work is we'll done, ant
you may any afternoon see parties o
students under one of their number as
foreman, and solitary students uncon
scious of observation, working steadil!
and with faithfulness that show the!
are interested in their work, and ar
conscientious in the discharge of dut,
and the gaining of correct habits o

BURNED ALIVE OR HORRIBLY
MURDERED.
,Pointe Coupee BannerD

just after the Banner had gone to
press last week, the news reached as
that some time after midnight of We'd,
nesday the 18th October, the store OF
Mr.. Morriston, situated on Bayou For
doche, in this parish, abont twelve
miles back from the Mississippi river,
was discovered to he in full blaze and
was quickly consumed.
Mr.. Morrison had been keeping this
store for about a year, and was known
to occupy the store alone at night. Az
nothing was seen of him abOut the
place by those who went to the fire after
its discovery, search was made among
TIE smoking ruins, and few Of his
charred bones were found. It is thought
by the neighbors that this is case Of
murder, robbery and arson, for the
reason that certain jewelry and other
gold pieces which were known to be in
the safe, were not found therein after
the fire.
Mr.. Morrison was an elderly man and
a comparative stranger in the parish
having come here for the first time last
year for the purpose of opening the
store III which he found bis death. Dur
ing his residence on Fordoche, however
he established for himself most excel
lent reputation among his neighbors.
We learu that be Was furnished ir
his business by John Chafe' & Son, Of
New Orleans, and they will no doubt
suffer by this terrible calamity.
Our local authori les should leave n,
stone unturned to sift this affair to thu
bottom and ascertain whe her crime
has been committed. and if so, VIII

Tasted Dretful Queer

We have heard Of people curing Others
of using strong drink, by putting an
emetic into their whisky bottles. Tue
following story, told in Harper's Drawer.
illustrates the wedding manners Of sew
enty years ago, and the simplicity Of
green yonng Benedict.
A minister of Newburyport was once
called up, after he had gone to bed, to
marry a couple. The hour was late, and
the minister's wife did not rise to wit
ness the ceremony, but gave her husband
Larticular directions for entertainment
of the wedding guests
Don't forget to pass the cake and
wine. doctor" said she The cakes is
in the corner cupboard. and You'll find
the wine on the third right hand shelf in
the side hoard"
The doctor promised obedience. put on
his clothes. aud went down to perform
the ceremony. Returning half hour
later, he found his wife sitting up in bed
with an anxious expression on her face.
"Doctor,' she cried, did you give them
any wine"
Certainly, my dear, just as yen told
me-"
mot from the decanter IN the third
shelf of the side-board p
There is exactly where you directed
me to fud it, wife,"
'Dear! dear! Did they drink much OF

"Why, yes;they emptied their glasses.
What shall we do! Doctor, l made ,
mistake-it was ipecac wine you CAV
them. Oh, how sick they must be! Do
dear, put on your cloak and 60 RICH
after them; they can't have got far"
The doctor found the bridal party a
the corner of the next street. "Wha
made you drink the winep he asked
Couldn't you tell by the taste tina
there was something wrong about it!'
The bridegroom answered, between hi
qualms, "She whispered to me that

labor. In the Sophomore or second year
of student, all his labor is performed
in the Farm Department, 80 that he may
be enabled to see the work on that de-
partment in it's entirety. In the Junior
or third year, he labors only in the Hor-
ticultural Departments for similar rea-
son. While seniors, in their last year at
college, they work upon farm or on The
Horticultural Department as they may
be needed, or as their future pursuits
may make them to choose.
The seniors frequently act as foremen
of gangs Of students at work. One stu
dent has had charge of the construction
of a drain, others of fence building, or Of
surveying and leveling for drains. In
the Horticultural Department, Professor
Beal says, Report 1873, p. 81: "Abon'
one.half of students of the institution
worked all the year in the horticultural
Department. Some of the most import
ant parts of the institution is given sep
arately to each of these young men while
they are overseeing certain kinds o.
work. One senior is set over some por'
ton of the department for the whole
year. One looks especially after the
vineyard; one the apple orchard; one tn
orchard of pears, cherries and plnms,
another the trees on the lawn, one the
wild garden and testing seeds, one thu
experimental and sample beds Of grasses
clover, ETC., another some portion Of thu
vegetable garden" These seniors worl
in these duties and at the same time &C
as assistant foremen in directing tn
labors of other students.

fessor in nice operations that cannot vel

BEAUTIFUL DREAALAND.

I love 70 visit the dreamland,
And walk in its realms Of light
Till | reach the beautiful castle,
Where dwelleth all things bright
Over the door is written,
In letters of glittering gold,
Enter. We child of oblivion,
And the things of the past behold.
Oh how love to wander
In the halls of that castle fair
For many vanished face
Smiles on me when I'm there;
And many a dear, loved voice,
That was hushed so long ago,
Speaks to me with a sweetness
This world can never know.
Dear forms that thought were dead
Meet me in drcamland's hall;
And hands | thought were cold,
Point TO the snow white wall,
On which are hung the pictures
OF cherished scenes of the past,
Painted in glorious radiance
Too beautiful to last.
None but the pure and lovely
Do meet in that castle bright,
And the softest, sweetest music
Fills my senses with delight.
AWAY from ealths sin and sorrow
Away from shame and care
Oh , I love the beautiful dreamlaho'
For I'm always happy there.

WHO STOLE THE CHICKENS ?
New York Starr


A darky came to a Galveston Justice
of the Peace and asked for warrant
for the arrest of Jim Webster. "Wbat's
he done ?" HE stole my chickens dar's
de- fedders in his yard" How do you
know those feathers belonged to your
chickens 7" Il kin prove it by COL
Jones. but l doesn't like to have him
brung into court, case he is modest
like" What's the matter with Col
Jones p Nothing, boss, but to tell de
troof, eber since stole his chickens
loses Ill confidence in de man as soon as
he looks me squar in de face"
The Galveston News gives this little
story, and the story has a moral. What
need that the complainant should adduce
testimony in his case when the accused
istot the fore to supply the missing links !?
What the necessity OF democratic
journals making an array of charges on
their own account against De Golyer
Garfield, when from his own household
of political faith have come the most
damning proofs against his pertidy and
perjury!
It has been we'll said that there is no
statute of limitations for fraud that no
length of time can take from crime its
characteristics or absolve the conseq-
uential punishment. If this be true in
! individual cases, when is the difference
when a community is made the victim
of plumber. and when high trusts are
made matter of barter and sale, and
honor and honesty are surrendered TO the
instincts of paltry gain
All that democratic journals and
orators have to do or ask is. "who stole
the chickens ?" and then cite the poss'
essors of the feathers to contOupd and
convict the delinquent. The feathers
are still there and in possession. Some
of the accomplices have, perhaps, feath
cred their nests vel aud are therefore
Jealous in defense; but, unhappily fol
their zeal and consistency, the origina
marks of the depreciation are lett, and
with such Indications, there can be ~
difficulty in solving the interestin!
problem.
Time, as we have suggested, can no
condone an otfense against nation an!
more than it wipe out unatoned-for
private outrage on law and honor; an
"out of their own mouths" the republi
can journals stand confessed as applaud
ing and defending that which they hat
erstwhile condemned. Seen years is
: short period in the lifetime Of nation
. aud vet seven years constitute suffcien
time to make the man who had violate
his representative trust. trafficked o
: his honor, sold his honor, sold his countr
:, and perjured himself in his desperation

MoIsT AIR Nor HEALTHFUL IN DWELL
INGs.-The theory is now ingeniously
maintained by Professor Briggs that the
summer condition of temperature. 62' to
6S', and relative humidity, so to So per
cent, is not desirable or even obtainable, at
other seasons, in the heating of dwellings.
His argument is, that the dry air of Amer
lea possesses both curative and preventive
qualities of great value, and that moist
air, which promotes vegetable growth, is,
on sanitary grounds, not desirable for
breathing. He states that the dew point
is far below the freezing point in well
warmed and ventilated rooms, where there
is nothing of that sensation of dryness
which is usually held to accompany the
heat of furnace, when not supplied with
water for evaporation. Again, new houses,
that are accounted unhealthy in Europe,
are not so in America, and gas burned in
rooms produces much less unpleasant eff.
fects in America than in England; what is
needed is an equality in relative humidity
between the interior and exterior air-thus,
II the outer temperature be 0, and relative
humidity 40 per cent, and the interior
temperature be 70', the interior humidity
ought to be raised to 70', by adding little
water
