South Western Presbyterian.
TO the Friends OF the South Western
Presbyterian University, GdTkS-
rifle, Tenn.
take this method of presenting
10 your attention Il plan which has
been proposed for accomplishing, i'm
n simple and easy manner, an i'm
pOT:ant purpose. The library of
this institution is at present almost
exclusively scientific, made up of
magnificent and costly standard
works; il is desired to increase the
number and variety of the books on
our shelves. To this end it has
been suggested to solicit donations
from individuals, of bOOks-One or
two, or ten or twenty-such as they
may have in their private cOllec-
tiOns. 1t is probable that everyone
has in his possession some volume
or volumes for which he has no spe-
cial use, and which can easily be
spared, to be transferred to the Uni
Versity library, where it will Occu-
py its appropriate place and perhaps
subserve. a more useful purpose.
Let every friend contribute to the
institution at least one book; there
are many that can do much more
than this. Works of all kinds are
desired-histOlic literary, scien-
tific, poetic, az well as standard
works of fiction.
In this connection, 1 would add
that there are still other ways in
which our friends can materially
assist us. We wish specimens of
minerals and fossils to add to our
already extensive collection; and
particularly would we request the
donation of archaeological speci-
mems, which in Il large number of
localities within our bounds can be
without much difficulty obtained.
1t would add greatly To the interests
of our cabinets if all our states and di-
visions of states were represented
by their characteristic mineralOgi-
cal, geological and archaeological
specimens.
Once more. We have a small nu-
clcus OF a numismatic collection,
which we desire to enlarge. Any
old and foreign coins and medals
which may chance to be in the
hands Of any one, liable to be lost
and often unappreciated by those to
whom they may ultimately de
scend, may here find a safe and per-
manent abode, performing a useful
Office, in illustrating past history or
in aifOrding data for the same.
trust chat these suggestions may
meet with cordial and generous
response, and that all will bestir
themselves, at least to this trifling
extent, to aid those upon whom the
burden and responsibility of this
educational enterprise rest.
would only add that books or
specimens sent direct to the Chan
cellor, Rev. DIR. j. N Waddel, |

Ex-Gov. Hendricks has written
to Washington democratic politi-
elan a letter in which he says:
/ want you to teel assured. that |
have no grievance growing out Of
the Cincinnati convention. The
New York delegation assured the
delegations from other states that /
could not carry that state, and that
prevented my support from them.
A state that doubted my ability to
carry New York did well not to
support me. | want you to be as
sured, too, that / will most cheer
fully and earnestly do my part to
secure success, as will all my friends
i'm this state. We will carry this
state. The ticket takes very wen,
and will make some gains from the
republican ranks. We have no spe-
cial return of hard times, such as
you describe as appearing in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, but the
impression prevails that we ought
to have a change of national admin
istration. | have no doubt of the
success of the ticket.

EATING GROW.
How rhe word Had Its Origin, -
Kin Eat Crew"

Kin Eat Crow"
Inquiries are made as to the ORR
gin Of "cating crow" as used in
modern politics. The first allusiOn
to "eating crow" was made i'm the
KnickerbOcker Magazine, quarter
of Il century ago. 1t was n story of
a summer clearinghouse keeper on
the Hudson and of an indignant
patron. Whenever the latter ven
tured to suggest that the spring
chicken was rather tough, or that
the roast beef must have been cut
from the cows heOfs, he was direct
ly told that he was entirely "tOO
pertickcrler," and that the autOcrat
of the table and the house could eat
anything, even n crow. This set
tied the matter for the time being
but the bOarCleT convinced against
his will was of the same opinion
still, at all events in regard to the
quality of cdibles placed before
him. So often was the remark, al
kin eat anything; kin eat crow"
brought down on his devoted head
that he finally resolved to try the
old man. He went out hunting
one day, and succeeded in bagging
a very fine, fat old black crow. He
went into the kitchen, and by dint
of soft words and filthy lucre, in
duced the cook to allow him to pre-
pare the crow for the table. lie
boiled il nicely, and it wasn't such
a had-lOOking dish after all. His
heart misgave him; the tiinty old |
cuSs would eat it after all. The |
cook was a Scotch woman and used |
snuff. Borrowing all she had, he |
sprinklcd il literally over the crow, |
gave her another simmer, and then |
taking it ON salver brought it be- |
fore his host, saying as he set it !
down, Nov, my dear sir, YOU /
have said a thousand times, if YOU /
have said it once, that YOU could |
cat crow. Here is one very care /
fully cooked" 1t is said that the |
old man turned pale for moment, |
hut braced himself against the back |
of his chair, and with 81 ken eat

ful. He swallowed il and then pre-
pared for a second onslaught; he
looked his bOarder straight in the
eye and calculated, "I've eaten
crow" and took his second portion.
lie lifted his hands mechanically,
as if for a third onslaught, but
quickly dropped them In the region
of his stomach, and rising hurried
~ and unsteadily, retreated for the
door, muttering as he went, "but

BY VIZ. IrAIsEnAErn.

The weary traveller counts the miles
That stretch between him and his home.
And, each one passed, he softly smiles
At thought OF welcome rest to home
The sailors cast n longing look
To where the wished for haven lies
And scarce the brief delay can brook
TIL when its shores shall greet ms eyes
Impatiently the soldiers wait
The time the campaigns toll shall end,
When peace shall take the place or hate,
And every foe become n friend
The prisoner counts the tardy hours,
And scores them on his dungeon WALL
And dreams OF home begirt with flowers
When freed at last from captive thrall.
So does the traveller DER life's sands
Press onward toward his heavenly hOInes
That city builded without hands,
Among whose mansions is his own.
Sweet memories OF loved ones there
Give to his tagging feet new strength,
Though long the cross lac bears
Twill lie at Jesus feet at length.
The sailor olt LIES troubled sea,
BtsSet By storm and ternpesf-tOssed,
Peers through the mist II he may see
How far or near the friendly coast.
He longs to anchor safe at last
In quiet haven of repOSe,
Where free from every stormy blast,
He may in peace his voyage close.
The war-wOrn soldier Of the cross,
Reset by foes and battle-Scarred
Who counts his victories by loss,
Yet faithfully keeps his watch and word
Longs for the hour when, foes trod down,
His victory shall be complete,
Ana he receives the vlctor's crown
And rests at last ut Jesus feet.
With care they grid their lOins about,
They rOnse themselves like honest men (;
Whate'er oppose they put TO route.
And press their onward way again.
So, lighting, fainting, pressing on
ASzailcd by foes and tempeSt-blast,
The prize they struggle for is won
They reach the Fathers house at last.

Mr.. Henry HerndOn, of South

day, which resulted i'm the death OF
the latter. Bell had, until two weeks
before, been in the employ of Mr..
HerndOn, some words passed as to
the cause of Bell'S leaving. Bell
gave Herndon the lie, HerndOn
struck him with a riding switch, and
Bell then struck HerndOn on the
head with clab, knocking him
down. HerndOn arose with difficnl-

pistol, the first shot taking effect
in the back of Bells neck. Bell ran
about forty yards, fell and expired
in few minutes. Mr.. Herndon's
head is seriously hurt, the scalp be-

An old gentleman having packed
away $lO0, 900 which he made in oil
at Petrolia, Pa, into his secular, found
the greenbacks mouldy. AS he
spread them out i'm his orchard to
dry while the farmer, his wife,
daughter and hired man garded them
and the passers by watched the pro-
ceedings, il IS hardly wonderful
that he has been twice awakened in
the night by masked burglars. The
first time they got 81 900. The second
time the old man and his wife
fought them, the neighb0rs chased
and caught them, and they are now
in the penitentiary. The old man
still keeps his greenbacks in the
house, believing them safer there
than in the banks. HE says Tie will
vote for Garfield and Arthur.

REPUBLICANS may argue as they
please that Hancock is not a states
man, but the common sense cOnclu-

which has been so happily put in
words by Senator Bayard: eff Il
man who can turn foe to friend and
bring n conquered enemy 10 allegi-
ance be not a statesman, then, pray
tell, me what is craftsmanship"
Such is Unpopular perception which
is worth more than all the reason
ing on the subject. Let them de-
mOnstrate that Gen. Hancock can
not be statesman and the people
will still know that he has given ev-
idence in his career of the highest
craftsmanship. Mr.. Bayard has
caught the popular verdict and has
happily expressed it in words
