A NEED OF TENNESSEE.

Chattanooga Commercial: The
sentence of several rather youthful
criminals to the rock pile in our
magistrates courts, lately, suggests
to us the inhumanity of the great
State ofTennessee in thus far failing
to provide a retreat.for these waits
wherein they may be turned from
the criminal course Ind saved from
the ultimate loss ofall principle and
sense of honor-wheref they can be
educated to noble and better life,
and learn how to add to, instead of
detracting from, the good in the
world. 1t is high time an asylum
for these. youths was established in
this State. Other states have reform
schools AMI farms, and youths who
have gone into these, seemingly lost
to all honorable motives have left
with their hearts overfowing with
gratitude to their teacher and in
structors for having saved them
from a life of degradation and
shame. IF our legislature can sue
ceed in settling all political disputes
and turn its attention to this hui
m me scheme, it will receive the
hearty appreciation of all who desire
to advance the morality of man.

DEATH OF THE OLDEST PEcS0N IN
AMERICA.

On Sunday evening. Jan. 10, 1881
there died in this city undoubtedly
the Oldest woman in America, and
as in nearly all previous instances,
was colOr-d person. Her name
was Sarah Clark, and rumor had it
that she frOze to death. bat upon in
vestigatio1 made by friends ofthe
old woman, the rumor proved un-
! founded, ond no doubt her death re-
suited from sheer old age. She was
the great grand mother of Henry
Williams. the driver of a dray team
in this city, and from him we
/ CLEANED the following particulars of
| this remarkable old woman. Mr..
| Williams is quite an old man =
| fifty we believe-and when a small
| boy Mrs. Clark appeared as old to
him then as before her death. She
never could tell when she was born
but often stated that bef re the
revolutionary war she was the moth
er Of two children. She did not
know where she resided at that time
but long while after.slle was taken
to keutucky as a slave. There she
livel for a number of years, feeling
then as though she had seen enough
of this world, and battled with its
troubles sufficiently to deserve a
different life, but that was not her
fate. In 1910 or thereahouts she
WIS brought to Missouri and as a
slave was shifted here and there I'M
til the late war, when she settled
down to die near Bonneville, Mo.
In 1872 she came to Rolla on visit
to her great-grandchild, Mr. Will
liams AS to her exact age nobody
knows, but if what she has told is
true she must have been 126 years
old. She also stated that she at
one time belonged 10 the Clark FAM
lily of Howard county this state, and
distinctly remembered nursing the
grandfather of Gen. Clark, Con-
gresham from the Eleventh district,
and who was afterward an officer in
the war cf 1912. After living to this
old age she passed away without an
attendant at her bedside.-Rolla |

THROWING A FAMILY 70 TIE
WOLVES. b

Self-preservation is said to be the
first law of nature, yet there.are cir
cumstances in which this law should
be infringed, and the safety of others
take precedence of the longing to
preserve ones own life from the dan
ger which threatens it. No one, for
instance, can read, without feeling
of Indignation, the subjoined incident,
related by Russian journal; "a
peasant, residing near Moscow, was
travelling through deserted part of
the country in a;conveyance contain
ing himself, his wife. and four chill
dren, when the party was pursued by
flock of bowling, famish1ng wolves.
The peasant urged the horses along at
full speed, but in spite of all, the
wolves gained every minute on the
travellers. A horrible death seemed
imminent, when the father. devised q
plan for personally escaping from
the danger. He took his youngest
child in his arms and deliberately
threw it to the pursuers. This avert
ed the danger for brief time, but
soon after the wolves were again fol-
lowing the carriage in search of fresh
prey. Successfully the other three
children were thrown to them and de-
voured, which enabled him and his
wife to reach neighboring village in
safety. The poor mother, who had in
vain implored her husband not to
sacrifice in this .barbarous fashion,
the lives Of the little ones, denounced
the unnatural parent to the authori-
ties. The case was heard in court
and the father acquitted, On the theo
ry that he had right to sacrifice the
lives of the children since his own
lie was at stake. The law of his
country may absolve him, but every
parent condemned him.

SLEEP.

"He giveth His beloved sleep" is a
text which each PERSONS life should
illustrate. In our active American
life we sleep too little and are up too
long. Halls journal of Health
saws. rtF as.Es-.Es
There is no fact more clearly es-
tablisn2d than this, that the brain
expends its energies and itself during
the hours of wakefulneSs, and these
are recuperated during sleep.
If the recuperation does not equal
the expenditure, the brain withers:
this is insanity.
Thus it is that. in early English
history, persons who were condemned
to death by being prevented from
sleeping always died raving maniacs;
thus it is, also, that those who are
starved to death become insane; the
blain is not nourished, and they can
sleep. The practical inferenees are
three: t>e
~ /. Those who think most, who do
most Framework, require most
sleep.
2. That time Saved" from neces-
sary sleep is infallibly destructive to
mind, body and estate.
3. Give yourself, your children,
yonr servants, give all who are under
the fullest amount of sleep they will
take, by compelling them to go to
bed at some regular, early hour, and
to arise in the morning at the mo-
ment they awake oti themselves.
Within a Fortnight, nature, with
almost the regr.s.rity of the rising
sun, will unloose ne bonds of sleep
the moment enough. repose has
beer secured for the wants Of the
system. -
This is the only safe and sufficient
rule; and as to tie question how
much sleep any one requires. each
must be rule for himself; great ma
ture will never fail to write it out to
.ths observer, under tie regulations
just given.
