W. Draper, one OF The most distinguished
men in American science, keen and sue
cessful investigator; his gifted son also, Prof.
Henry Draper, an able investigator, have
both been called from their labors. As a
philosopher searching tbs profoundest intri-
caciss of human nature, Ralph Waldo EN-

no less than our own; We shall listen to he
wisdom of the sage of Concord no more.
Among poets chief stands the name OF the

for rains and foods. Each days telegraph,

serious results of overpowering floods in the
Rhine country and other places. In our
own country at the opening of the year the
lower valley of the Mississippi was vast

of that sad tune; its story is branded in The

be scourged with similar disasters-in
several cases more than once in the same
locality-ipdicst soznethins arrange IN

Anxious 10 See the Cotton Centennial

Special to the Appeal
VIcKsBURe, MISS, December 30.-Senator
Wade Hampton was in the city to-day on
private business. He said he was eager to
see the Cotton Centennial succeed, and great
interes, was taken in it by South Carolina
planters. He was going, in connection with
the Mississippi senators, to endeavor to Sc
cure for it charter, giving it the same priv
ileges as were granted by Congress to the
Philadelphia Centennial. He expressed
amazement that New Orleans had not been
quicker to grasp the opportunity, but could
not but believe that she would yet do so.
If not, some other city certainly would.

MR.. THOMAS BOYLE

The school Board.
The following gentlemen were interyeHed
concerning the proposed change IN ihecEsr-
ter of the School Board.
MR.. THOMAS BOYLE
said that the main objection he had 10 III.
bill introduced by Mr.. Lynn was thstat
provided an expensive style of school .sov-
ernmeni; that $500 could be mucs more
usefuliy employed than BY eiVingit 10 the
commissioners. He did not e-peci,dy object
to reducing the present numbs Of school
visitors; but then he saw no eszseials reason
for reducing it. BE said he regarded the
school interests as of mnsk more i'm portan nee
than any other, and thought there should be
larger number of men toguard them than
'ss'ese Of the-Isriss Distriks -
CAPT. JACK wAnzH
was met by an APPEAL reporter on The
street. He said that when be Considered
what the present School Board had done he
was opposed 10 changing the system. He
spoke OF what the old city government had
done for Memphis. He thought the present
School f3ard was COED enough. 1t had re-
duced use school debt from S55 900 TO 5000.
JUDGE T. W. BEows
said be was decidedly in favor of reducing
the nurabsr of school visitors. He thought
three was amply sufficient; indeed, be thought
three sensible men much more competent
to dispose Of The affairs of the schools thsn
the iprefent twenty. These men he did bot
think ought 10 be paid.
MR.. JOHN T. MOSS
thought change 10 the form of the School
Board was imperative; be did not believe in
such debating societies. A CON-
mission esisb ished like the Legislative
Council would be much more satisfactory to
the people and beneficial to the schools.
The present School Board took up too much
time in discussing parliamentary rules, and
thus neglected the vital issues presented for
settlement. "For instance" said be, sthe
previous question is supposed 10 cut of de-
bate, but the School Board sometimes takes
up half an hour in discussing the previous
Iafstion."
It will be seen from the interviews pub
ished in the APPEAL the past few days that
40 citizen outside Of the School Board has
yet been found who <as 10 favor of con-
iiuuing the present rfg anization.

Couat Won Wimpffsp, Ausiro- Hung arian

He left his home in carriage at 10 o'clock

in the right temple, the ball passing out
through the opposite side OF the forehead.
