The experience OF the late DR.. J. G. Holland
us Superintendent of Schools ut Vicksburty Is
thus rccounted by Edward Eygleston Ia the De-
ccmber Century: at the end Of tho tedious
river voyage he found that the public schools
which he Ind been called to snperiutcnu had
not yet been orgHnszcd, and that, beyond Il de-
partEncrt for girls, they had no existence. Ur.
Holland WIS warned thnt discipline was out of the
question:, that II he exacted obedience he would
be put out by the larger boys. There ensued
stern light for supremacy between him unC1 his
rebellious pupils in which his quick decision OF
rhAracter. gave him The mastery. Even at Il
later day than this, such thing Us tho shooting
Of u SchDolmnster for whipping Il boy was not
unknown in the Southwest, ana it is Il wonder
that Dr. Ho1lAnd escaped yiDlence. N0lhtnK but
his superior quckneas and unfaItering coIrnge
saved him. Once, the larger boys resolved on
revengc One who had suffered i share punish
8nent ut his hands provided himself with club,
and backed by crowd of bury, oyergrown
scho0l-fellOWs, waited to attuck the teacher
OH bis way to the pDst-office- Seeing tho crowd,
anu knowing Its meaning, DR.. Holland Axed
his steady dark eyes on the one who had the
club. cienched his fists, and walked straight
forward through the very midst OF the group.

the terrible mnster- When the rebels has dis
pcrsed the te;chcr found the prints Of hfs natts
in tue palms of his hands. Though he stail In
Eicksburg but fifteen months, he wrought a
revolution In its educauoua} system. In less
than u yeur from his coming, the private schools
we're I'LL given UP, except one which derived its
support from Out-of-town pupils. The schools
were graded, and were taught in one building
under his supervision.

want to say he was the originator Of the nom
sense after the theatre was over but as tho
Georgia man said at tho hanging, he s. had
nothing more to do with it than furnishing the
rope" Perhaps Mr. Abbey furnished tho rope"
which lot of hobblcd boys hitched to the coupe,
and. dctaching tho horses, pulled tire-engino
fashion through the streets. Patti and Nicolini
tof coursc) entered the carriage. Tho driver
jumped from tho box and remained like SEN
sihfe man with bis Intelligent ouadrupeds,
while. whooping aud shouting, n crowd of men
aud boys clung to the ropo and wildly dragged
tho singer anu her cavalier from the Academy to
the Picrrepont House, turning corner On two
wheels like an exhilarntcd butcher cart 4 more
undtgnttied proceeding could not ue Imagined.
Then Patti got away from the ropes and boys
and into her apartments. 4 ser.tnnde COM
1ncnced and she appeared ut her window. a brass

Gus crowd soon gathered. Pntti in the window
did Some Little T0udlekins business; she clapped
her hands and jumped up mud down with about
rs much elasticity us Il dasher in n churn.
Then she got excited to such degree that she
began to throw things out the Wii,dow-state
bouquets and 9 tray OF fstisirs and almonds.
It was Il wild time all round. Abbey and his
