The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1881-09-01

Ir speaks well for large number
of citizens of Lauderdale county that
they have solicited over their own proper
names, Capt. Thomas H. Woods to be
come a candidate to represent the couF-
ty 10 the Legislature, and it speaks well
for Capt Woods that he has consented
to the sacrifice of personal interests
which such public service will require.
The unusually important subjects which
will demand the consideration of that
body at its approaching session, require
that the people should enlist the scr.
vices Of men of greatest ability and
highest integrity. Capt. Woods will
meet all the requirements of the position
and indeed any other, State OF feder
al, the people could confer upon him.

There are parties IN this city who
have been robbed by the swindling
concern above described. We have a
very intimate acquaintance with one
person who was taken in and done
for For years the monthly INSTALL
ments were promptly paid, and finally
paid up life policy was secured, upon
which they took care rot TO pay cent
of dividends Recently policy holders
have been served with notice that the
concern has been put into liquidation,
which means that having drawn large
sums from its unsuspecting victims, it
has shut down on them and literally /
robbed them. We concur with our
Louisiana contemporary in the belief
that the Legislature of his State should
give the subject attention" The
victim to whom we refer, has no other
recourse but to pronounce against the
of the robbery the impre-
cation that they may get their deserts.

The Tichborne Claimant.

The New York Herald Of July LIST
prints three columns Of San Francisco
dispatches purporting to be the result
Of the conversation with Gen. Barnes
regarding the Tichborne claimant, who
is said to be residing in San Diego
county. If any body, as smart as this
man evidently is. wa playing a part, he
would endeavor to act 1t carefully.
This man don't and the idea never
seems to enter his mind that any one
will believe his right. Then it is q
great mistake to suppose that he is SO
ignorant and illiterate as reported; he
has the easy, quiet, dignifed airs Of q
gentleman and SO impresses you by his
conversation. His handwriting is GER
tainly remarkable for that of an igno-
rant sail maker, as Ferris is represented
to have been; 1t is of that purity of
French character, and so well marked
that the ordinary person who has ever
noticed 1t, will remark the similarity.
I have in my possession q brief state
ment Of the wandering life Of the pres
snt claimant, written by himself chron-
oil Hically from his earliest recollections,
which at another time it might be de-
sirable to publish for the purposes Of
study; butts French and English are
mixed and l withhold it now.

PROF. RILEY ON AGRICULTURAL
SCHooLs.-The American Agricultural
Association publishes a journal, the
last number of which contains an ar
ticle from Prof. c. V. Riley, on agri-
cultural schools, Of interest to farmers
and agricultural school trustees. Great
Britain has three agricultural schools,
an English, Irish and Scotch, each self
supporting and costing not more than
500 0 each q year each is intended
to train three classes of agricultural la
borers-gardeners, small tenants and
large farmers. Prussia spends two or
three million dollars annually upon the
State forests and farms. The farms of
the State are rented to praticai farmers,
who are bound by their leases to take
pupils In agriculture and to keep
blooded stock for Improving the breeds
Of the surrounding community, and to
introduce such machinery on trial as is
recommended by the agricultural min
lister of the crow No seeds are dis.
tributed free. except in time of scarcity,
but railroads have to carry free articles
for exhibition at agricultural fairs.
The highways are lined with fruit or
other trees, and the government super
vision Of forests is strict. Prof. Riley
thinks our commissioner of agriculture
needs q national board Of agriculture
as advisers to superintend his plans and
expenditures, else he ought to be taken
into the cabinet. Prof Riley THINKS he
is too autocratic and has too much re-
sponsibility.
