The poetry Walking by Jesus of course
can't be published. As there is no name
given with the vsrses. 1t is 10 us singular
that so many individuals send communities
tions tn papers without any name. There
ARE occasions when an Anonymous coutribu-
tion may I've published, but those occasions
occur 80 very seldom that no one i. justified
in attempting to evade the rule. Every
paper in the land has occasion frequently
every year to call attention TO the rule
that anonymous Communications will not
be published, and yet Persons who ought
to know better send poetry, prose, stories,
letter., etc, etc, in the hope that an sx.
ception may be made in his or her favor.
II We ever receive any poetry Of trans
cendent merit We may publish it, But it
lie certain that no anonymous commonplace
sffusion will he published.

We were not able to attend the shooting
Of the gun clubs at the Fair Grounds on
Friday afternoon last, but guessed that
the deadly marksmen enjoyed themselves
fully. Greatly to our surprise we learned
that there was no match shooting between
the Homer and D'Arbonne clubs. We
have not heard from the D'Arbonne club
any reason given for their failure to come
to time The Homer club all declare
that they have never seen . clearer case
of back out than that OF the DArbonne boys.
This we ind difficult TO believe. There
are too many crack shots in the DAT
bonnie club, and too many honorable gen
tlemen who surely would not permit them
selves to back down. However the Homer
club declare that they offered the DAT
bonne boys everything that WA fair, but
for some reason they would not comply
with their own agreement. This must be
settled. We suggest that the two clubs
Ok day and settle the question of the

10 . document that speaks losdly IN bis
fsvor and soes long way to answer the
charges urged against him BY the voald-os

The Colonel requests that the patrons Oh
the University extend it more than their
usual hearty support and encouragement.
Let not the University and the youth OF
the State suffer for any contention OF
boards of supervisors for the control Of the
institution or for any contest among per
sons for Office or place.
He says that whether the courts decide
against him or not, parents can rely upon
their sons being we'll cared for and well
taught"
His concluding words rsneot the greatest
honor upon the man: The undersigned
wbose connection with the University the
new board of supervisors would soon sever
forever, particularly appeals TO his friends
and patrons, and to the people Of Lousians
generally, who have 20 long given him
their confidence-snd their sons TO educate
and make men Otto rally to the institu-
ton under whatever board and president
It may legally be, and to give it their
hearty support. The school must ever
live, through its officers often change"
This is an exhibition Of magnanimity
that is no surprise TO those who know Col.
Boyd. We believe now, Is we did in the
beginning, that the cause Of education in
the South has no dearer friend than d. +.
Boyd. His words prove it.
In the controversy we do sincerely trnst
that he may be successful over all his
opponcnts, from those who were honest in
their opposition to the Other. who had
their own ambitious ends to crafty and
for that purpose made unsparing use Of
contemplate tools, means and arguments.
This man has devoted the better part of
his life and energy to building up the
school, He deserves far more at the hands
of the State and is much better fitted for
the place Of President of the University
than any Of those who oppose him.
That be may triumph over all opposition
is the hope OF one who has known and OPP
precisted him for many years.

A game called Willing" was playd4
in country houses last season, and has
recently become popular in girls
schools. TIE. girls select with their own
consent one of their fellow scholars,
on whom they lay their hands, and
whom it is alleged they can by mere
concentrated and unanimous power at
will make to obey their most absurd be-
hests. There is enough mystery and
even horror about the game to make Il
exciting, and success, when Il q
achieved, often produces . genera
fright which unhinges tho weaker minds
of the younger girls. Only this wesk
case has been reported OF young
lady who was " willed" last Whitsun-
tide. She had been healthy to the day
upon which she played with her school
mates. They mesmerised her-of thas
there seems to be no doubt-greW
alarmed, did not know how to restore
her, and left hor TO recover Is she
might. Since then she has utterly
changed. She has been daily in hys-
terics, unable to trust herself or to b
trusted, and is apparently incurable By
medicine.
