GEN. EATON's LECTERE.
Education and Building of the sta

large and appreciative audience assem-
bled at the opera-house last night to hear
the lecture delivered by Gen. Eaton. United
States commissioner of education He was
introduced by DR.. Joynes, of our University,
as one not unknown to our people, and who
was once prominently connected with edu-
cation in Tennessee.
Gen. Eaton began by saying he had seen
many things to excite pleasure since he
came to Knoxville, and especially the Normal
School now in progress on College Hill
He congratulated the teachers i'll attendance
upon the great interest manifested in the
cause by them, and spoke of the interesting
lectures he had listened to in the Normal
especially that of Judge Temple on the
Pioneers of Education i'll Tennessee" He
had, he said, been undecided as to what
topic he would select, until he had heard
these lectures, but had determined the topic
for the evening, Education and building of
the State.
He then spoke on this topic for more than
an hour, and was listened to throughout
with the closest attention He made
copious drafts upon ancient and
modern history for illustrations of
his theory, and upon the whole delivered
one of the most chasto, scholarly, interest
ing and instructive lectures that it has ever
been our good fortune to listen to. The
larger portion of the address was devoted
to the practical influence of general educa-
ton, such as is afforded by the common
school system of our own country. 1t was
full of sound logic, beautiful thoughts, wise
conclusions and patriotic suggestions. A
synopsis of his remarks, such as would do
the subject and the speaker justice, is an
impossibility, and we will not attempt it. 1t
must be heard or read in it's entirety to be
fully appreciated

Successful Cooling Apparatus.
Washington Correspondence New Yor
Herald

1t is certain now that a cooling apparatus
has been found which will meet the views
Of the doctors. 1t has been in operation
during the day and has been found to work
very satisfactorily. The temperature of the
sick room has been about seventy-five de-
grees and the air is much dryer than the air
IN the other rooms of the Executive Man
sion. The President has spoken of the
change in the atmosphere. The tanning
has been dispensed with entirely. In order
to secure proper ventilation, one of the
windows is kept open. The other is shut,
as are all the doors leading from the
sick room. The cold air is driven up
through the hot ar flue and through the
register into the room. At the register the
temperature is much lower. The appa-
ratus which produces this result it quite
complex affair, and situated in the
basement There is first small tank filled
with ice. large tin pipe can runs into
the top of this tank from the open air. The
bottom of the tank is perforated with holes,
and below is another tank, which is filed
with plates covered with Turkish toweling
The ice-water drops down from the upper
tanks and saturates the covering of the
plates. Then connected with this is large
fan, which is run by steam engine. The
fan drives the air over the plates and then
into pipe which leads into large wooden
tank holding sixteen tons of ice. The air is
driven by means of the fan through this
mass of ice, and then out into the pipe
which conveys it upstairs. The
noise of the fan was conveyed by the reso-
nant qualities of the tin pipe up into the
sick room and the doctors were afraid that
this constant whirring noise would dis
turb the President. On being asked, he said
it did not disturb him. 1t was thought
best to remedy it, SO Major Powell,
of the Coast survey, who has taken great
deal of interest in the matter, devised the
expedient of taking out a section of the tin
pipe and substituting for it a section made
of canvass. This was found to work admi-
rably, and the apparatus is now in working
order. 1t gives such satisfaction that it is
probable that those engaged in putting up
the air COMPRISING apparatus will be told
that it is not worth while for them to con-
tinue. This latter apparatus has been in
process of erection for several days, and is
not yet completed. The COMPRISING ap-
paratus is made of iron, and is quite un-
wieldy, for which it is necessary to provide
an engine of considerable power to furnish
the steam. 1t is the intention to force the
compressed air through five lines of hose
which stretch along the ground and up the
outside of the building into the Presidents
room. The other cooling arrangements are
cooling the other rooms, and the success of
this apparatus will put an end to memor,
able episode IN this present week.

CAPTURED By INDIANS.

n xican Apach-s.
Cincinnati Gazette.

The intelligence of the capture by Apache
Indians in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico,
Hast Sunday, of Thomas Key Pugh, of this
4City, created considerable talk among his
8friends yesterday, Mr.. Pugh was, as is
well known, son of the late eX-United
States Senator George E. Pugh. The story
OF the capture, as far as at present known,
Is about as follows: Last Sunday party
of Names Apaches, twelve in number, at
tackled the Ell Paso and chihuahua stage
coach, six miles north of Lucero, in Chih-
uahua. as it was going slowly passing
Through some sand hills, between and 4
in the morning, killing the driver and two
. lead mules instantly. Mr. Pugh was taken
prisoner, but what his fate was is not yet
known. single other passenger and the
conductor escaped in the darkness. 1t is
understood that the Mexican authorities
have already dispatched several bodies of
troops to the Candelario Mountains to scout
for these Indians and Gov. Teresas has Or
dered troops from chihuahua to scout the
stage road. The captured coach was COM
pletely destroyed, and the mail and express
packages robbed and burned. The first in
timatiOn his relatives in this city had of the
occurrence was from yesterdays Gazette.
Upon reading the account of his uncle,
Pendleton, who telegraphed the facts to
Secretary of the Interior Kirkwood. Mr..
Pugh then visited Mr.. Justice Matthews,
who telegraphed Secretary of State Blaine
and General Sherman, asking the former to
call upon the Mexican Government for as
sistance in rescuing Mr.. Pugh, and the lat
ter to order troops is follow the Indians
into Mexico. Replies were received from
the secretaries stating that the attention OF
the Mexican Government had been called
to the abduction, and one from the General
to the effect that as much as he would like
TO, he had no authority to invade Mexican
soil under the circumstances. Mr.. Pugh
was greatly surprised at the intelligence,
stating to Gazette reporter that Tom left
the city three weeks ago for Washington
Territor, and was heard last of in Colorado.
But being possessed of prospective turn
of mind, Mr.. Pugh supposed he had gone to
Mexico on prospecting tour. He believed
that II Tom had not already been made
away with, he would be recaptured alive
Further developments are awaited with
great interest.
