THE NoRMAIsINsTlTUTE.

Pupuant to notice heretofore giv- en the Normal Institute for the 9th Judicial District convened at this place on Tuesday last State Super intendent Denton and Prof. Jno. J. Ladd, of Virginia, arrived on the :l5 p. m. train, and at 2:30 the In stitute was opened at the Baptist Church.
 MT. Denton, acting as presiding of fcer announced that the first thing in order is the election of a Sec retary, Mir. NJ. H. Baird moved that Dr. J. K. Penman be chosen. The motion was put to the house and re- suited in the election of that gentle man.
 The chair announced the enroll ment of teachers names next in or der. The following names were en- rolled:
 Rev. o. H. Tucker, County Exam iner, Atkins, Pope County.
 T. A. Burns, Atkins, Pope Go. J. l.. White, Dardanelle, Yell Go. w. c. Hunt,
 J. NJ. Kimmell, Cabin Creek.
 J. w. Thompson, Conway, Faulk- ncr Go.

 The Chairman read letter from Prof. Hagan, of Dardanelle, stating that he would be in attendance We'd nesday. The Chairman stated that about all he expected to accomplish for that day was to get the Institute organized and ready for work. That having been now accomplished, he declared the Institute formally open ed and proceeded to make some in- troductory remarks, explanatory oi the objects, aims and results of such meetings He made an eloquent pointed, practical speech. It was deep.reaching and thoroughly con vincing. It was a forcible, earnest, elaborate appeal for the public school cause. It was terse, unan swerable argument in favor of edu- cation by the State-full of patriot. ism, fuil of sound sense, full of truth full of religion. It was such talk as is good for the people-good to stir up ali the philantrophical and patriotic feelings there might be in the nearer. After MT, Denton came Prof Ladd in one or his excel. lent and instructive talks--such a talk as teachers who were fortunate enough to hear It, might drink in lessons of ripe experience from such a talk as they may listen to and gc away with new feeling of pride and zeal in their profession.
 The Institute then adjourned with the announcement that Prof. Ladd would address the citizens of tho town, (and the Institute) at z! o'clock p. m.
 At that hour a packed house re ceived a treat. We cannot do the lecture justice. It was one of Prof Ladd's own jealous, earnest talks glowing all through with the warmth and ardor which flows from sou thoroughly enlisted and fired up in . good great and noble work. Forum. ate were they who heard it-great losers were they who failed to heal it

tration Of the West Point academy.
He regarded those who had gradu-
ated from that institution with won
der, as having survived a regime of
brutality, inhumanity and uncivilizcd
conduct. II have known for wears !"
he continued, "of young men going
therc-not colored young men, but
white young men-who have been
driven away by a system of conduct
on the part of the students there SO
disgraceful, that l intend to lend nv
aid, humble though it may be, on all
occasions to every kind OF finvestiga-
ton; to swell public opinion, as far as
| am able, to assist in doing it, to
humanize and civilize, if not possibly
to christianize West Point. That
ought to be done, or the institution
ought to be abolished. If this un-
speakable and internal outrage had
been perpetrated upon this young man
there is no length to which this gov
ernment ought not to go for the pur-
pose Of correcting such an abuse.
even to the extent Of abolishing the
institution. If it is impossible to
conduct this institution on civilized
and humane principles, it ought to
go down. | have attended institu-
tions of learning in my day, and Il
know that it is possible for young men
In large numbers to be assembled to-
gether and pursue their studies and
treat each other as gentlemen. But
there is something in this seminary of|
wal. to inspire young men with taste
for brutality that is perfectly amazing.
Whether it is because they are being
educated to war on their kind, or
whether it is the fault of the men in
management, | do not know. | take
no stock in the thought that this
young man cut his ears off; it is abb
surd and ridiculous. To my mind, it
is a part of system Of outrages that
| have known to be committed upon
young men from my own congressional
district, when | was serving in the
other hOuse-a part of that system
that makes young man fight for his
right to stay there while being edu-
Gated.
The morning hour expired pending
debate, and the resolution went over.
1t is likely that some good will come
out the outrage on that cadet yet.

CHASTITY TRAGEDY.
Burned 20 Death, Presumably by
Robbers.

CINCINNATI, April TO- Enoch
Masslander, a batchelor scventy.seven
years old, living alone on a farm in
West Virginia, three miles from
Bellair, Ohio, was found on
Wednesday last burned to death in
his house, with a large hole burned in
the floor, but by some means the fire
had been extinguished. The theory
Of the neighbors is that the robbers
bad tortured him to death trying to
get him to confess where his money
was. Three years ago three masked
men almost burned him to death for
the same purpose and it was generally
believed that he had large sum OF
money hidden in his house.

AN OPERATIC ROW.
Why the Audience at the AcaIe-

But two acts OF aida" were ia

the Mapleson benefit, but owing
to an operotic ROY" between Mile,
Ambre and Mile. Marimon. or rather
owing to trouble raised by Mile. Mari
mon, "Dinorah" was put off for hall
hour by the addition of this extra act
in order to allow time for the lady's
anger to cool.
The circumstances, as detailed by
some OF the leading stockholders and
manager, are these There is but
one dressing room for the prima
donna, and as Mile. Marimon and
Nine. Ambre were both to be provid-
ed for, Mr. Mapleson requested them
to adOrn themselves in the same apart
ment. This Mile. Marimon positive.
ly refused to do. She was the lead
ing donna, and she must have full
and undisputed use of the room.
Mr.. MaplesOn was anxious Ia
know where Nine. Ambre was
to go. Mile. Marimon did not
care. Monsieur le Directeur
might do as he liked. Nine. Ambre
might dress where she liked, but not
there. The room, the whole room
and nothing but the room she would
have, or she would not sing. Nine
Ambre held her ground, and so did
Mile. Marimon. They glared at each
other and at the impresario. He
wrung his hands and implored them
in several languages to dress now and
see him later as to the etiquette of the
thing, But they were stubborn. and
in despair he finally sent out for the
carpenters and divided the room by a
partition. Would that suit mademoi.
selle? No, it would not. Nine. Am
bre did not see it in quite that celes-
tial aspect, and remained, and very
sensibly paid no attention to the mat
ter. The Belgian cantratrice then got
into her carriage and drove away. wish
ing them all good luck and pleasant
evening. Matters We're desperate. The
extra act was run in and Mr.. Maple
sons ultimatum was sent to the New
York Hotel. Mile. Marimon mus,
return or Mr.. Mapleson would en-.
force his contract, as the public must
not be triaed with. Mile. Marimon
came. She sang her part, and hurried
away and to-day the Colonel debating
in his mind if the Prima Donna will
appear to: night in Lies Hugenots?"
He is sure she will, he saws, as she
would not ruin her place with the
public for the matter of quarrel over

SAN Francisco, April 1O.-Infor-

ters says that General Hatch, with a
part of his command, attacked three
hundred Indians in camp, in the San
Andres mountains. The fight lasted
six hours, the Indians at last retreat
ing and leaving their dead behind.
Captain Hy Carroll, of the Ninth
cavalry, and seven soldiers, we're
severely wounded. A large amount
of stock was captured from the Indi-
ans. They are supposed to be Mesca-
lero Apaches, as they retreated
toward the Mescalero Apache agency.
General Hatch, with his command,
are in pursuit.

OUEERswARE.
THE GRANT RECEPTION.

General Grant and party will ar
rive here next Tuesday, and will be
received courteously and with every
mark of respect due the man, and the
positions he has held in military and
civil life. All classes, without regard
to politics, nationality or war record,
will participate, or be represented in
the simple, but spontaneous demon
stration that will be made. For the
time being, he will be our visitor and
our guest, and we cannot ignore his
presence. 1t would be an affectation
ofignorance or sullenness to assume
that his visit was a matter of indiffer
ence. Whether he is candidate for
the presidency or not, it is unneces-
sary to inquire. In this free country
almost any man has a right to run for
Office, and to travel at will, north or
south, We reserve the right to treat
him as candidate upon his record
when he is SO announced, but these
things do not enter into calculation
upon an occasion like this. He will
not remind us that we were rebels,
nor will we recall for the time being
what we may have thought of his ad-
ministration. This would be in bad
taste and bad spirit on the part of
people noted for their generous hos
pitality. An ostentatious or extrava-
CANT reception would not be in keep
ing with our circumstances and recent
attitude before the world, but we
cannot and would not do less than
give General Grant formal and re-
spectful recognition. This feeling, we
fnd,is entertained almost unanimously
by the ex- confederates who went
through the war, and by citizens who
sent their sons or otherwise sustained
the cause. A truly brave man always
respects another, even if they have
fought on opposite sides. We pity
those (if such there be) who think
they would surrender or compro-
mise their manhood by paying their
respects to a great captain like Grant.
Say what we will about him, he will
be a colossal figure in history, and he
has been received as a representative
American citizen with the highest
marks Of respect all around the world.
If there is a man in Memphis who
would compromise his consistency by
turning out next Tuesday, he can stay
at home or go a fishing that day. The
proprieties of the occasion will be OBJ
served all the same. When General
Grant is nominated at Chicago, as he
probably will be, then it will be time
to discuss his record and his status
from a political standpoint without
restraint.
