A savage Comment,

The report Of the President Of the
Agricultural College Of Mississippi,
which states that all students will b
,, require Cd to perform manual labor, leads
the Vicksburg Herald to indulge in the
following bit Of sarcastic comment;
'The SD ameful business will make the
faces Of many proud MiSsissippians
blush. Just to think, some of the boys
hsvs actually gone to work! What in the

To the Shivering;
The last gsrm ant you put on
j, the one that seems to bring
comfort. So ws'll talk about
overooats this cold day.
We have a little ulsteYstte
for very little boys, nice one,
Of good, warm, substantial
cloth, for s3 80; and there's
just as much comfort In it as
in one that you'd pay three
times as much fer.
A larger boy may have q
similar coat not quite so good,
may be, for $3.50; but think,
how much more cloth II tskesl
This boy is big enough to put
more costly dress on, II You
can afford 1t. His coat may cost
s12, If you like; but at that he
will have about the best coat
Of any boy On your block.
Another boy is forgetting
he's a boy at all-he's a man,
only not quite 90 round and
full as Q mAn--we call him Q
young man. We've got some
thing Just to'his nind-(he's
got a mind of his own now).
We've got plenty Of overcOats
for him; we'll only mention
these: e6 buys him q good,
warm, durable, decent coat
q proper one too, unleas he
ought to wear a finer one. go
will (to.day) buy him one Of
three sorts Of ulsterettes and
overcoRts that are marked
down because sUme sizes ere
lacking. s13 will buy him one
OF the EpgEsh-cloth ulstsrettes
advertised yesterday, worth %
mere, maybe.
A man may pay s6, or any
other sum up to $2S; and he
shall have q good bargain.
We have a thorough assert
ment for him to choose from.
He, at least, wants q cloth to
LIST, whether he wants it fne
or not. We know all about
what he wants; and our bust
ness has been eontrived so as
to serve him as thoroughly as
possible.
We'd like to have you think
Of warm undertaking of all
sorts when you come in. We
don't make this but We buy
IL with great carefulness, and
terve you a. well as II from .
our own factory.

Edwin FORESTS Chiyalry.

The manly elements of Mr.. Forests
character made him at all times the ready
champion of the weak and defenceless.
He was especially chivalrous in his con-
duct to women. This one instance is a
sample: He was returning from New
York after successful engagement in
that city, and seated opposite MIN in the
car were two young ladies. They were
travelling without male ssco,t. When
the cars stopped at Newark.a person en-
tered and took a seat Immediately back
of the ladies.
He was of the loud class, full of paste
jewellery, impudence aud bad manners.
The latter was soon painfully apparent
with reference to the ladies. He INDUCED
in offensive language, and seemed to
think the whole matter was good Joke.
In a short time the language and con-
duct of the man and the evident distress
of the ladies arrested the attention of Mr.
Forrest He left his seat, and facing the
obnoxious passenger said:
"Will you please vacate your seat?
You are offensive to these ladies'"
''Guess not" replied the man, with the
coarse and rude expression Of a bully
and q rufian; II have paid for my tick
ct, and will sit where I please"

said he'd lost the package intrusted to
him; "he'd lose anything. One day
last week I sent him to take pickle

her husband had, all his life, hoped to

In a moment she was seated beside
him IN the arbor. The twilight fell.
Hugh sat beside her. Janet, who had
torn off her gaudy dress, was on the 9TH
er side, the simple little girl Mrs. Asher
had known and loved. 1t seemed to her
that she was living in purer air thar
she had ever known. She told this old
man OF her husband, his work, all that he
had done or hoped to do.
Miranda, her dinner, her sham splend-
or, were forgotten. But she rushed in
upon them, at last, from the house.
'Brother, the constable IS here? He
has arrested this man! He was escaping
from town with your horse and buggy"
The constable appeared with his VIC
tim at the gate.
'Hugh9" cried Miss Julia. 1T is AL
phonse! Your footman last winter"
Hugh caught up the goblet and con-
fronted the mulatto with it.
Eyes, I took one," said the scared
wretch. 81 sold them to Miss Miranda
this morning. Be merciful, for Gods
sake.'
'Let him go. Hugh" said Mrs Asher.
She gathered Janet's hand in both of hers.
Your poor aunt she SAID, laughing
nervously. But she never finished the
sentence.
Miss Miranda left Newburgh the next
Cay. When Janet was married, in the
fall, she sent an elaborate pair of pillow
shams as bridal present. But she did
not come to the wedding.

A Spiders Suspension Bridge.

A new feature in the way of suspen-
sion bridge was recently seen across
the Housatonic river, short distance
north of Falls bridge. It was a single
thread of a spiders web suspended
from tree On one side to some object
upon the other, between 300 and 400
feet in length. How did the creature
manage to get it across? tits conjectured
that the engineering spider must have
calculated the distance, spun thread
of the required length, and then at the
right moment have thrown it out, when
it was carried on the wings of some ia
voring breeze, to the opposite side,
where it became attached. What was
the spiders object unless to seek some
retired spot to prey, or else to seek new
adventures? It is not known whether
the spider persisted in the attempt at
crossing, or whether it gained the shore
in safety.-Neap Milford CT. } Bay.

Results of Stopping His Paper.

A Sunday-schoo paper tells the fol-
lowing "whopper:" A certain man got
mad at the editor and stopped his pa
per. The next week he sold all his corn
at cents below the market price;
then his property was sold for taxes be-
cause he didn't read the Sheriff's sales;
he lost $40 betting on Mollie Mccarthy
ten days after Ten Brock had won the
race; he was arrested and fined $40 for
going hunting on Sunday; and he paid
$500 for lot of forged notes that had
been advertised two weeks and the pub
lie cautioned not to negotiate them.
He then paid a big Irishman, with
foot like derrick, to kick him all the
way to the newspaper Office, where he
paid four years subscription in advance,
and made the editor sign an agreement
to knock him down and rob him if he
ever ordered his paper stopped again.
