tutes, division institutes. There wa.
no more valuable experience for any
teacher than could be gained in thes,
Institutes. Another way to build ur
good teachers was to establish a great
normal college in the state, alway:
sending out new ideas. There was
the germ of such an institution here.
Foster it and build it up. Let a
young man come. from the remotest
part Of the state to the normal college,
and he would go back full of such
new ideas that his school would be q
model for all around him. The most
precious interest in the state to-day
was to retain this normal school, to
hold the fort, and establish it and
build it up, and SO flood the state with
accomplished teachers.
The State of Tennessee seemed to
him the state of all others which
should aspire to become the educa-
tional head centre Of the southwest.
This meant Il great deal. The Nash
vile schools were established IN 1852
with efficient teachers, and the whole
population was educated by them. Sc
when the wealthy men like Wander
bilt, and the trustees of the Peabody
fund, wanted to establish educational
Institutions, they naturally looked to
that city in the southwest which had
shown the most interest in education.
And while the schools of Nashville
cost but 100000 a year, these institu-
tons brought Nashville mere than
$260,000 annually. And what was
true of this city could be true of the
whole State.
He wanted the children of this
country to be educated so that they
should all be lifted up into a tue man
hood and womanhood, so that never
again would the red tide of war roll
over the country. The boys of Ten
nessee were like the boys of Maine;
the girls Of Kentucky like the girls OF
Massachusetts, only perhaps more fair
And when every STATE should wake
up, they would all join hands and
stand together in the great battle
against ignorance. DR.. Mayo was
greeted with the loudest applause at
the close of his address, which was one
of the most powerful and eloquent ap-
peals that could have been made for
as enlightened and advanced system OF
public schools as the state could afford.
The entire audience joined heartily ii
his conclusions, and were aroused to
a renewed interest in the public schoo,
question, which is widely spreading lt'
influence and making plain to all the
true interests of the state. 1t is 6
pity ten thousand people could no.
have heard the address.

The Dreadful Yet Noble Death Of a Hy-
drophobiac.

drophObiae
Cor. New ORLEANS Democrat.
DALLAS, Tex, February 28.-A
tragic death has just occurred in our
neighboring county of HILL, worth re.
lating and worthy of Virginius or any
other Roman father. One year ago
George Arnold came to Dallas on pri-
vate business, and while walking the
streets was bitten by worthless cur
which was frothing at the mouth and
showing other symptoms of hydropho-
bis. Mr. Arnold became alarmed
and very much excited when convinc-
ed in his own mind the dog was mad.
He went to a physician and had tho
wound severely cauterized. Then,
going home, he was still very uneasy,
and dreaded hydrophobia so much
that he hunted up a maidstone aud
had it applied for several weeks, off
and on. lie took every other precau-
ton which was suggested, resting all
the time under q mortal dread that
the virus had gone into his system and
would sooner or later kill him. He
had wife and several small children
living on a rather isolated farm, and
the thought that he might suddenly
lose his reason and harm bis little
babes horrihed him. The other day
he began to experience strange feel
ings, and at once concluded his time
had come. He then procured a
twelve-foot trace chain and a strong
lock, and went to the weeds. After
writing his wife 81 calm letter, in
which he told her what was about to
happen, giving directions as to his
wishes after death, and pouring cut
volume of love for her and her chill
dren, he ran the chain around a tree,
drew it through the large ring at the
end, and then wound the other end
around his ankles so tight it would
not slip the foot, locked it with the
lock and threw the key far beyond his
reach. The body was found two days
after still chained TO the tree. There
was all the evidence necessary to
show the horrible death from hydro
phobia. The ground was torn up to
the full length of the chain, the nails
of the fingers wrenched off and all his
front teeth out IN scratching and bit
ing the tree, and every thread of
clothing off his body.
The body was dreadfIIlly laeerated
with these, the only weapons the mad
man could use. He had judged
rightly what would have been the
consequence had he remained at home,
and knowing that there was no human
skill that could have cured him, pre-
ferred death alone, and in that way,
20 dong harm to those so near and
dear to him as a wife and a child.
/ Arnold was originally from Talla-
dega, Ala, where he married, and
where his widow has many friends
aad relatives.

The Duty Of the Hour.

If a parent were to see his son on the
verge OF a precipice, over which, if he
should fall, he would rush to rescue
him from his periloGs situation, and
every precaution would be taken to
prevent a recurrence Of the danger.
There are many parents whose sons are
exposed to a danger equally grave, and
yet because the peril seems to them
not immediate, they manifest no con-
cern. Men, whatever their views may
be upon prohibition or other means to
promote temperance, do not differ in

There was very nearly a catas.
trophe In the Santa Clara coal
mine, in the Santiago csfion, last
Saturday. The miners, fourteen
in number, had just left the pit for
dinner, when the mine caved in
along its whole extent to depth
Of seventeen feet. Only miracu-
lous interposition of Providence
can explain the escape of the men,
as, If they had remained in the
mine ten minutes longer, there
would not have been soul of them
left alive to tell the tale. In this
connection the remark seems to be
called for that the system of tim
bering in the Santa Clara could
not have been perfect or such a
casualty, which so nearly resulted
in q tragedy, would hardly be re-
ported.
Spring street yesterday was the
scene of the coolest and most BUSH

about Is years, stepped from the
sidewalk into the street and com.

they did, in 80 low a tone that It

parted them. AS he did so, one of
the boys leaned over and Missed

equally intense whisper, when
they started off In opposite direc.
tons. During the progress Of the
fight one Of the boys put his hand
to his hip pocket twice, as if to
draw n weapon, but not finding
one, or changing his mind, he
would recOmmence pounding his
adversary with renewed vigor.
The railroad man, Jack Kelly,
who was before the City Court
yesterday, was not arrested for
either burglary or assault with a
deadly weapon, rs was stated
through mistake by one of our con-
temporarIes. Kelly was detained
until 2 o'clock in the afternoon but
no one could be found who was
willing to swear out II warrant for
his arrest on the charge of burg,

Kelly with "exhibiting a deadly
weapon In rude and threatening
manner,"-a misdemeanor. This
was sworn to by officer Gerkins,
and was doubtless all that could be
made of the offense. The defend
ant was fined $50 for this-having
pleaded guilty. He also pleaded
guilty to disturbing the peace, and
was fined SIS. He paid both fines,

may be added that the woman at
