Gathrlght Memorial.

Anappeal to the surviving students
OF the Summelville Institute to ex-
press their appreciation of tie life
and character of Thos. S. Gathright
by placing q suitable monument
over his grave.
During the present year the writer
has consulted a large number of Mr..
Ga.hrights pupils as to the prosper
ity Of the above proposition. The
unanimous opinion has been that we
can and should give such a testimoni-
al Of our respect and love for our
teacher and friend.
1t is not proposed to press this
proposition by argument, or exhor-
tation. We believe that Mr.. Gath
rights ability, zeal and years Of
faithful labor in the great work of
educating the young men of Missis-
sippi, have left in our hearts a mon
ument, which will prompt each for
mer student, and many friends and
Masonic brethren, 10 contribute to
this fund
Col J. L. Power, of Jackson, has
kindly consented to act as treasurer,
and to see that the money is properly
expended.
Professor McInnis, of Texas A d
NJ. College, will cooperate with MS.
The writer takes the liberty Of
requesting the following gentlemen
to call attention to this movement
in their localities, and to collect aud
forward contributions to Col. J L.
Power.

Il happened in a rough mining
town in Colorado. There was a
grand ball at the ranch Of Whiskey
Jack, a well known character in the
"diggings, and the 'eliie" Of the
district responded to the call in full
force The party was held in a
rickety old barn belonging to the
host, and with a few red strips Of
flannel, a groiesque accumulation Of
mountain roses, and a row of dip:
ping candles, the appointment Of the
place were perfect My first partner
in the giddy dance was the wife of
the man who killed the village post
master because he refused him a
letter; she was fat, fair and forty,
and danced with the grace of COW.
My next partner was the daughter OF
this charming pair, young girl just
bursting into the loviness Of woman.
hood; she was badly freckled and
sported a Wart on her nose. My
next partner vas a blooming grass
widow, a fresh arrival; and then /
rested. l began to comment on new
faces in the room. My companion
in this pleasant pastime was heavy
bearded miner, uncoqth, roughly
dressed, tobacco slobbered, and very
profane. This was our first meeting
and l hoped it would be the last.
"There goes a hard looking case"
| whispered, as the wife Of the man
who killed the postmaster sailed by.
"She's a bad IN"
"Yas," replied the man; "Pd nate

an, elegant target she would make

Yes" l said, and turned my eyes
on atall, raw boned creature sailing
towards US supported by little man
with sandy whiskers and red top
boots. "Here comes the boss"

In yesterdays Index Mr. ]. H. Ee-
ford has q communication which
calls to our mind a subject We have
intended TO refer to on several oc-
casions-namrly, the Artesia hotel
and its preseuCmanageIment Many
complaints have been made Of Mr..
Chidney's conduct toward both la
dies and gentlemen, who do not
feel disposed to pay seventy-lye
cents for a meal ia order that they
may have the privilege Of sitting fo-
a short while in theparlor or Office
ofthe hotel It is true there is
regular waiting room in the station
house at Artesia, bat it is a poor
place for ladies to 60. The hotel
is the property Of the railroad com
pany, but Chidney seems to think
and ac' judging from all wehave heard
and seen, as if it was his individual
property. Now this is a different
style from that Of any former man
ager Of Artesia hotel, and il Mr..
Chidsey will accept our advice he viii
change his course Of proceedings to-
ward these land especially 10 lies)
who do not always feel hungry We
are certain of one thing Mr. Child
sey does not reflect the sentiment
and motives that characterize the
officials of the Mobile and Ohio rail
road in general It may be a "soul-
less corporation" as the average
citizen generally terms the moueyed
power, but we say without fear Of
successful contradiction, there is no
more obliging set Of officials and
high and low, than those
of the Mobile and Ohio railroad
Mr.. Chidsey is an exception, and
his methods are entirely different
from those which made Mr.. Smith,
his predecessor, one Of the most pop
ula men not only in our country but
up and down the line of the road

We all have a great horror of be
ing poisoned, without exactly IN
derstanding what it is Poison is a
disorganization Of flesh and blood,
or both Poisons are Of two kinds ;
one, the result of medicinal agents
taken into stomach or circulation,
the other the result Of bites or stings
Of living creatures. I will now
state two ideas, which, if generally
known and remembered, would save
thousands of lives every year. II
YOU have swallowed a poison,
whether laudanum, arsenic, or any
other thing poisonous, put q table
spoonful of ground mustard in a
glass OF water, cold or warm, stir
and swallow quickly, and instlntan
eously the contents Of the stomach
will be thrCwn up, not allowing the
poisonous substance time to be ab-
sorbed and taken into the blood /,
and, as soon as vomiting ceases
swallow the white of one or two q
eggs, for the purpose of antagonia
ing any small portion Of the p0isoE
which may have been left behind
Let the reader remember the prinoi
pie, which is, to get the poison on
of yOu IS soon as possible; tier
are other things which will have
speedy emelic effect, but the ad
vantage Of mustard is, il is alway
at hand, it act instantaneonsly
without any after mediciral effects
The use Of The white Of an egg
that, although it does not ualliiy a
/ poisons, it antagoDizes a large
number than any other agents s
readily attainable. But, while tax
ing the mustard or egg, send for

The very remarkable prevalence
of small pox in many sections OF the
United States creates an unwarrant-

THE BREECHEs MOVEMENT.

Accepting knee. breeches as the esthetic
clothes, several persons have written in
their favor that they will avoid the baggi.
ness to which trousers are subject at the
knees from the devotional posture and
from the habit Of sitting with one leg
resting on the other. Not to discourage
this movement, but to prevent disappoint.
ment in worthy effort, it should be men
toned that this idea Of the exemption Of
knee. e.breeches from being kneed is radi-
cal error, for their being tasted Just below
the knee and the tightness which BELTS
this garment allow no slack for the bend
ing Of the knee therefore, would knee
breeches be kneed more than trousers
That shorter form of breeches, which does
not come to the knee, would be requisite
to avoid this baggness. Yet the tights
worn under these would bag. The esthetic
clothes are not free from difficulty, but no
one should be discouraged. The cause is
worthy OF great effort, and Of great
sacrifce if necessary. Let every aspiring
esthetic say with Harry v: "Once more
to the breach, dear friends" The Scotch
Highland costume is absolutely exempt
from bagging at the knees. 1t has also a
picturesqueness far surprising Mr.. 0ecar
Wilde's black breeches, black stockings
and stiff dress coat, and more BETTING the
esthetio renaissance whose emblems are
the aunhower and tho lily.-ICincinnati
