The engineers wife threw down her
sewing ana impatiently fastened into the
back yard to see noisy dispute among the
children. She selected Jack as the offend

movement, she ran Master Jack on sid

BY this time Bob, the guilty one, having
run on to secure turn-table of the back
fence, SO that he could run off in either di-
rection, screamed out ''Let up mother 4,

the wrong car, an you'll run by the right

coupled up and tried to make a flying
switch on the culprit, but he got on the

A Visit 10 the A. a. NJ Collage

A drive of four miles on road not many
degrees inferior TO she'll road, brings us to
the State Agricultural s. Mechanical college.
To those who have not seen the location,
would say the sight IS u most eligible one.
1t is open and the prospect is u fine one.
There are two thousand acres belonging to
the college, an amount sufficient to'snswer
the needs for many years to come.
| President John G.. James, formerly of the
/ Military Institute at Austin, is most pleas
mt and stfable gentleman, while he seems ia
every way fitted, from his extended expert.
ence and personal qualifications, to ill the po.
sition which he holds. Compared with his
pro ecessor the differences are many and
striking; but matter of delicscy would for.
bid an enumeration. Suffice it 10 say, how
ever, that the discipline is more rigid than
formerly; but this is not criticism for 1t is
as it should DO. The youth who are lassoed
on the western prairies and llsnos can scarce
J ly be refined in too much. The organic ma
terial to BIO wrought upon is good, but
requires much chlsselipg, hewing, polishing
and furnishing to bring out the perfect work.
However, think the faculty equal 10 the
emergency, the gentleman up the country
who writes himself president of Marvin
college, to the contrary notwithstanding
spent m hour with Professor George
son and most pleasantly. Professor G. has
charge of the agricultural Department proper
and is quite IN enthusiast Under his man
agement tho work of identifying the
grounds Is being Ms rapidly pushed forward
as the means nj his command will allow.
The campus in front of the college is being
lain off in II manner that will afford beautiful
drives, while at appropriate intervals, trees
of various kinds, shrubbery, etc, are being
planted. In our limited time the professor
could only give an outline MS 10 what his
general plans are. Going TO tho field we
were shown many kinds Of plsnts of forest
trees, Indigenous and exotic, with the latter
of which OK pertinent is being made TO see
which will thrive best in this soil and lati-
tude, and hence which cao best be recon-.
mended TO the farmers Of the state. The
famous California tree which is
said to counterfeit miasma bids fair
TO do we'll. Trial is being made also with
various kinds of cotton, corn, oats
fruits, large and small, grasses, clover, &c
In short and in truth the college is now
being made what its name indicates, On sgri
cultural and mechanical college.
Ia the evening attended meeting of one
Of the college societies. Tho young men
with one or two exceptions, showed that su
adequate amount of energy had been OK
pendcd on the various tasks performed, YET
all hid the fault, rs | think it, of keeping
their written speeches by them 10 which
they made resort in name. which detracteC
from tho general effect of what they said,

A Good Citizen Gone.

We are most sincerely panied to learn of
tho death of Young Barnard L. Bee, at San
Antonio, on the l5.h inst. The name is
historic and sacred in Texas. The elder of
the name, a man of wealth in South Carolina,
educated, refined and elegant in person and
manners, came to the relief of Texas in 1886,
and exhausted his princely fortune in our
cause, never asking cent in recompense.
He was secretary of war under President
Sam Houston, and, rs such, signed most of
tn land warrants issued TO the soldiers of
Texas. His name, good deeds and fame,
IN those early days, became embslmed in the
heart, of tho then people of Texas. Pa,ri
oti;m exhausted his fortune and he died in
his native Carolina His son and ramesalic,
Barnard h. Bee, IT,, WAS II graduate of West

J generally n public man Of influence ard

third of tho name, killed by u fall from his
