sisters. l have known her long and well,

to the cause of education, and her noble

is proud of the mississippi Woman" But
is there not a more excellent way" to bene-
fit the women, especially the mass OF them?
Establish Normal School for them ex-
clusively if preferred, gradually extend the
course of instruction, add departments from
time to time for teaching telegraphy, kind
ergarten, culinary matters, science as spe-
cialty, &c. In a few years State female
college may become a necessity. Let the
students be drawn, by special enactment,

THE New ORLEANS DEMOCRAT AND New
ORLEANS TINES, CONSOLIDATED DEcEM-
Der l, 1881.
A representative newspaper must find its
way into every business establishment and
to every fireside around which clusters even
the most ordinary intelligence. Is there
any question in the minds of the people iv-
ing in the Southwestern and Gull States
that the Times-Democrat is that paper;
that it embodies all Of the elements and
possesses all the qualities that they can rea-
sonably expect to find in favorite journalg
The enterprise, push and progress of the
New Orleans Democrat during the past
eighteen months have become proverbial.
No journal published in the South has
made such progress in the same period OF
time. The New Orleans Times has been
for many years recognized as one of the
leading journals inthe country.
The consolidated issue, The Times Dem
ocrat, will embody the best elements, the
highest virtues of both. 1t will simply be,
without question, the ideal paper of the bu-
sness man, the mechanic, planter farmer,
the family, the people, OF all classes and
conditions. II is waste of time to enumer-
atc inc eAccllcicleS OF IT'S issues. III Is the
embodiment of the modern newspaper.
Every department in il has been raised to
the highest standard. The Daily or the
Weekly Times Democrat should reach ev-
cry place of business and every home in
the Southwestern and Gulf States.
The subscription rates for the Daily are
as follows, payable in advance:
One year every day.. .sl9. Six months . sc
Postage prepaid.
The rates for the Weekly are as follows:
One year Saturdays. 81 so Six months. .75c
Three mynths. so Posta &c prepaid.
The Weekly is never less than II pages in
size, and is really the best and cheapest
weekly paper published.

NORMAL CHAIRS,

In our State University and A. andM. Col
lege. This has already been done in sever
al State universities, and in the University
of Edinburgh, Scotland. Lectures on ped
agogics are delivered in Oxford University,

would not he lowered in dignity, nor injur-
ed in efficiency by having one also. Prof
Long, as labor of love, is delivering a
course of lectures on pldagogics to VOL
unteer class. All honor to him.
SOME REFLECTIONS.
If Mississippi is ever to be fully redeem
ed, her people happy and prosperous, her
crops varied and abundant, her population
self-sustaining, then, education, moral and
intellectual, must be generally difused. If
the Legislature wants Immigrants to pour
into our borders and settle among us, it
should make the State attractive by furnish
ing ample means for educating the children
of those already here and all who may
come. Elevate the public taste and senti-
ment SO that farm houses. barns, and stables,
bridges, school houses and Other, public bull
dings shall be better and more elegantly
built. Develop, by properly educating the
masses, high sense of honor, strong love
for our State a just pride in her institutions,
and great respect for law and order.
The writer was appointed by the Teach
crs State Association at its last session to
present memorial to your honorable body
on the subject of Normal Schoois This
he did some time ago, but il was referred
without reading, owing, he supposes, to
other matters of public importance de-
manding immediate attention. He has
therefore chosen this method of reaching
you, hoping that the subject will be duly
considered and acted upon favorably by
YOUR honorablebody... Whatever you do, by
all means establish at least one normal
school. #h

A Sensible Conclusion.

The conduct of President Garfield's
physicians during his illness did not
always commend itself to public ap-
proval, and the autopsy showed that
there had been a serious misapprehen-
sion on their part in regard to the ex-
tent and location of the wound; but we
dare say they did the best that could

concerned, and doubtless no medical
skill could have changed the result.
Now comes the question of their COM
pensatiOn.
A short time ago it seemed probable
that this would give rise to an acrimo-
NOUS controversy! According to the
the various statements published, each
physician wanted the lions share of
the appropriation for himself, and was
inclined to place rather low estimate
on the services of the others.
Thus one account stated that DR..
Bliss thought he ought to have fifty
thousand dollars.
It is pleasant to be assured that there
is to be nothing like quarrel over the
coffin of the dead President. DR.. Bliss
is authority for the announcement that
neither he nor the other physicians
will present any bills to the Congress
sional committee which 10 to pass upon
their compensation. He says they are
content to receive whatever Congress
may give.
This determination on their part il
sensible conclusion, and they ought to
adhere to it.-Sun.

She Boxed his Ears.

When Mrs. Ellen Helena Cheetham
entered the Justices court in Brooklyn,
| on the 10th inst, to attend the further
examination of the charge made by her
aged husband, James Cheetham, that
she had assaulted him, she was dressed
in velvet, with diamond and gold orna-
ments. A telegraph operator testified
that on Dec. 15, at the dinner table,
Felix Lobe showed a ticket for course
of dances to Mrs. Cheetham, who said:
"Would you like me to go with you
some time?" Mr.. Lobe said: eyes; but
you would not go.' "WelI," said she,
'if [ did go with you, I would go with
a gentleman Mr.Cheetham, who sat
at a side table, looked up with one eve
and down, with the other, which indicat-
Ell to the witness that his jealousy was
excited. After some of the boarders had
quilted the table Cheetham told Lobe
to pay what he owed, and leave. Lobe
denied that he owed anything. Mrs.
Cheetham said that he had already
paid, and then Mr.. Cheetham began to
talk about Mrs. Cheetham's visit to a
picnic against his wishes. AS the talk
grew louder Lobe said, in broken En-
glish, that the talk did not concern him,
all that Cheetham said happened before
he left Germany, and he did not under
stand half of what was said. He offered
to pack his things and get out of the
house. Then there was a crash and a
sound of struggle. Lobe was half way
up tn basement stairs at this time, and
Cheetham, calling out, said: "Mr. Lobe,
you are gentleman; want you to pro-
tect me from my wife. My life is in
danger" Mr.. Cheetham went out of
the house, saying that he was going for
a nr,Iicon,on Mpc rtn
after him, but Lobe prevented her pass
ing the parlor door. Her hair was
down, and was flying about her face
and shoulders. She shouted after her
husband, "Good-by, and Heaven bless
YOU"
Felix Lobe, who is clerk in a dry
goods store, testified that when Mr..
Cheetham asked him to leave the
house, Mrs. Cheetham said, "Mr. Lobe,
[ hope we shall have the pleasure of
seeing you often" Mr.. Cheetham then
said that he was master of the house,
and Mrs. Cheetham boxed his ears. He
repeated his statement, and she boxed
his ears again. Mir. Cheethan appealed
to him for advice as to what he should
do, and the witness said, "I would act
like man." Then the witness went
out, after which he heard the creckery
smash. He turned around and saw
Mrs. Cheetham holding her husband
against the wall, with both hands in
his beard, while Cheetham was strik-
ing her in the eye. Mr.. Cheetham ap-
ealed to him fer aid, saying that his
wife struck him'nrst ana thaJ she meant
to shoot him. Lobe did not see any pis-
tol in Mrs. .Cheetham's s hands.
Mrs. Cheetham was found guilty of
assault, and required to give bonds in
the sum of $500 to keep peace for six
months. She quickly furnished the
bonds, and went away with smile of
triumph.

Smith was out.

A Griswold street lawyear was sit
ting in his office the other week when
stranger appeared at the door and
said:
BEG pardon, but can you tell me
where Smiths Office is?'
"Yes, sir-next door,"
The stran ger uttered his thanks and
passed to the next door, which was
locked. Returning to the lawyer, he
observed:
'Smith seems to be out?n
"Of course he is. If you had asked
that question in the first place I
should have answered it by telling you
so."
The visitor had troubled look on his
face as he passed out of the building,
but that look was gone when he re-
turned next day and inquired OF the
lawyer:
How much will you charge me
for verbal opinion in little mat
ter?"
"Oh, about S."
The case was stated and the opinion
given, and the stranger was moving
away when the lawyer said:
my fee, please"

"You haven't:'
"Of course not. If you had asked me
that question in the first place should
have answered by telling you SO.

E5unfing for the Poke.

It has often occurred to school chill
dren, and perhaps to people of mature
minds to inquire why there was SO much
desire to find the North Poie-why so
many millions of money and SO many
hundreds of human lives had been
squandered in the fruitless search?
Up to the present time it is hardly pos
sible to conceive that any nation or
people was reallyin want Of the article.
Governments, as such, have their
hands full in looking out foT the do
mestic affairs Of their own people and
keeping an eye open for their foreign
relations. But after SO many sad and
expensive results in hunting for the
North Pole and making such bad
business of it, why shouldn't scientific
exuberance expend its energies in talk
ing a look after the South Pole?
Wilkes Exploring Expedition re-
vealed the existence of vast conti-
nent south of the Antarctic circle. The
explorers coasted along its northern
shore for nearly one hundred degrees
of longitude, or five-eighteenths of the
earth's circumference; and it is quite
probable considerable of it was over
looked. If either polar axis of the
earth was reached before the human
mind can be supremely happy, why
not organize a hunt after southern?
Such a hunt would have the attrac-
ton of limited possibilities, while the
continued search over the old, disas-
trous fields of the north has been dem
onstrated to be surrounded by unlimit-
ed impossibilities.
If these enterprises are simply to
enlarge the field OF geographical knowl-
edge or the scientific horizon, or settle
any abstract theory-like that of
"Symmes' Hole''-it would seem that
the much neglected end of the earth
in the Antarctic seas should be looked
after. AS mere schemes of na ational or
individual advertising the difference
may not amount to much Times
Star.
