One of the most learned and
digniiied members Of the Austin
Bar got a'terriblc rebuff from old
Uncle Nose last week. The old
man had Jim Webster hauled up
before Justice Gregg for stealing
his Spanish chickens. AS Jim
Webster has political influence, he
was defended by two prominent
lawyers. Uncle Nose was put on
the stand, mdmade ont a had case
against Jim Webster, testifying to
having found some of the chickens
in Jim's possession, and identify.
ing them by the peeuliarities of
breed.
The prominent lawyer then un.
dertook to max Uncle Nose weak.

lawyer, " suppose was to tell you

Enterprise Courier.
The question of establishing a
state college or university for the
education of girls is being extern
sively agitated by the newspapers
aud doubtless some measure look
ing TO that end will be introduced
during the coming session of the
Legislature. II strikesns that this
would be a splendid way TO cripple
the many excellent female eduea-
tional alinstitutions with which the +
State of Mississippi is now blessed. .
We have a number of excellent I
denominational aud private fe-
male schools, that are doing
good work in educating the girls of
the state; bnt the same cannot be
seid in regard to male colleges.
Outside of the two state institu-
tions, with the exception Of that
superb school, Mississippi College
at Clinton, there is not male
school of high grade in the state,
and thisis oMingin agreat measure
to the fact that the state has
taken in hand the higher education
of the boys within it, which is a
great benefit TO the few only.
Private enterprises have langmsh-
ed and died in consequence there
of. We very much fear if the
state begins to tamper with higher
female education, that it will be
really detrimental to the cause.
Whatever will have a tendency to
cripple or in any way take from the
female schools already established
viii be a positive injury to higher
| female education. And we Believe
such result win naturally follow
the establishment OF state female
college.
This question affords a fine field
for demagogism--for fine speeches
and fine articles in the newspapers.
There is a wide range for display
in speaking of what the state has
\ done for her sons and how she has
neglected her daughters. The
daughters ought to be thankful
that the state has let them severely
alone in this matter. There are
nearly twice as many educated
girls in the state to-day as there
are educated boys; and they are
better educated too. Throw aside
all sentiment in this matter ans
come down to plain facts. DOM

October election in Ohio, in very

a tine-loolSing and very intelligent
colored man, was placed In nomi-

ton county, and while everybody
else on the ticket was elected by
some three thousand majority,

Later, in Mississippi a similar in
stance of love for the negro was
manifested. At the November
election there were six pale faces
on the Republican ticket with Mr..
Spellman, colored man, who was
nominated for the position Of Sec
retary Of State. Mr. gSpellman is
an exceedingly intelligent man,
and we do not flatter him at all
when we say that he is quite the
rintellectual equal of two thirds of
the men on his ticket; yet when
the election came off, while the
whole ticken was beaten as it de.
served to be, the majority against
Spellman was greater than against
any other candidate on his ticket
The fact that the colored people
of Mississippi, of whom Spellman
is such a fair representatives cast
four-ffths of the votes polled for
the Republican ticket, shows the
perfdy Of the white Republicans,
and illustrate the stogyofthe little
girl whoesshever could stand the

The Behavior OF Audiences.

New York Ledger.
One test of a nations civilization is
the behavior of its audiences. An
audience is master of the situation,
and hence it can play the tyrant and
the bOOr if it will. 1t is strong enough
to break the interior of room all to
pieces, and hurl pei formers into the
street. Nay, it has been known, within
the memory of living men, to do such
things.
Usually an American audience is
perfectly decOrous and very good
natured. Sometimes, indeed, it is,
rather tolerant, and even applauds
what it knows to be inferior. for fear
Of wOunoing the feelings of the per-
former. We would not have it throw
its operS- .lass at "A careless singer, as
was done in Paris lately. Neverthe-
less, it is occasionally a duty to mani
fest disapproval, and this duty should
be performed with frmness and de-
cency AS rule, our audiences re-
gard too much the momentary happi-
ness of those who minister to them.
In one particular they are sadly at
fault: They DO not remain quiet and
attentive during the last moments Of a
performance. That is disrespe etfu' to
those who are instructing or entertain
ing us, and should be reformed alto
gether."

storm a certain amount Of electricity is
10 pass from the cloud TO the earth it will
take the easiest passage. Metals are
good conductors and when rods OF
them are put on buildings Of the
proper size and in the right way
the building is rendered comparatively
safe. A rod Of iron three-fOurths Of
an inch in diameter is large enough 10
conduct heavy bolt of electricity
The form OF the rod is OF very little
account and glass insulatOrs are entire
ly unnecessary. 1t is TO be remember
Cd that the electricity will take the

therefore have the rod run as direct as
possible from the top Of the building
20 the wet earth. 1t was formerly
thought that the tip Of the rod should
be Of some bright metal and very sharp
pointed; this is not required and the
rod may be painted without iDjuring it.
There is nothing about a lightning
rod that a blacksmith cannot make
any fancy twists are foolshness and
when made the rods can be put up by
the farmer at small fraction Of the
price demanded by the rod peddler. If
the reds are for the house the upper

easiest way to the earth.
The number of rods will depend up
Oh the area Of surface to be protected.
AS general rule rod will protect a
space around the point equal to twice
its height, though generally rods are
placed nearer than this. There is no
otject to any number of rods on a
building except expense. 1t should be
fixed in mind that badly erected rod
is worse than no rod; and it is from
this that rods have fallen in favor with
many. The rod attracts the electricity
and if ii is not able to conduct it safely
away the building is more apt to be
struck. Good rods, which may be very
simple, are protection, and every far
mer should diminish the risks OF his
farm property by erecting them on his
buildings, thus overcoming one of the
evil relations Of electricity to agIicul
ture.
