1st Teacher of Deaf Mutes--W W. Bran

Governess-Miss Mary Kerr, reelected.
Physician-Dr. T. w. Shelton, in place of
DR.. B. NJ. Atkinson.
Carpenter-Henry Matthews, in place of Ed.
R. Doom.
All of these appointments take effect at the
end OF the present session, July LIST.
On the whole the appointments are good.
DR.. Vaughan, the Principal, is one of the finest
educators in the South and for years has had
charge of Female College at GordonsYile
BY disposition, requirements and experience,
he is most admirably fitted to discharge the
duties of the high trust committed to him.
MIR. DAVIS has peculiar qualifications for the
position to which. he has been chosen. For
years he has been the chief clerk at the Vir-
ginia Hotel, and has also held similar positions
in other cities. Of good judgment, pleasant
address, special training in the line of duties
to be assumed by him, courteous and kind to
all with whom he comes in contact, it would
have been difficult for the Board to have made
a selection that would have reflected more
redit upon it, or which would have more
surely redounded to the good of the Institu
ton. Mr.. Davis is native of Richmond, but
has resided in Staunion for the past six or
seven years.
Mrs. Lawrence, the matron, is lady in
every sense of the word, and one whose ex.
perience and amiability will be equal to the
demands of the trying position.
Prof. PoYntz was reelected to the place he
has worthily filled.
Miss Kerr, the governess, was reelected to
the position she has filled with such signal
success for years.
Miss Woodwards appointment is a good
one.
Dr. Shelton is one of the most popular and
skillful physicians in the State, than whom
none is better qualified to minister to the deli
cate natures placed under his care.
Mr.. Matthews, the carpenter, is an expert
enced and capital workman, and just the man
for the place.
The minor officers and teachers were con-
tnued TOR the present, and it is not probable
that any further changes will be made.
The Board meets again on the 18th of June.

THE influence of man like Jesse
James or of career such as he led, is
seen in its effects among the criminal
clssses. His life was romantic only in
the sense that 1t was an extraordinary
record of crime. His career was a
dead level of viciousness, depravity
and heartlessness. AS one of Guam
trelrs gang, in 1864, he assisted at the
murder in cold blood of 80 sick and
helpless Union soldiers. On the same
day they shot down nearly 80 Iowa
volunteers. This Was al Centralia,
Boone county, Mo. In the massacre
at Lawrence, Kansas, Jesse James
boasted that he shot sc persons. There
WAS nothing of the dashing desperate
in this. 1t was simply brutal thirst for
blood. In his later exploits rs bandit,
traln-rcbber, bank.robber, there is not a
single incident of warm color. He
was bold, audacious, but never manly
or chivalric. He shot Haywood, at
Mortified, when no object was gained
by it, and he frequently turned his pis-
tol toward the,yourger members of his
gang in away that showed an utter alb
sence of those qualities that have made
many desperate characters stand prom
inent in the romance of oulawry.
His many escapes simply encour-
aged criminals to greater boldness, and
his boastful brutality made other Grim
inals more brutal. His remaining con
federates should be pursued relentless
" to the bitter end, and all the class
taught the lesson that civilization has
no place for such outlaws,

The Most Precious OF Gifts.

Health is undeniably more precious gift than
riches, honor or power. Who would exchange it
for these, the chief objects of human ambition
1t is obviously the part of wisdom to employ
means for the preservation of health and the pro
longation of life which time and experience have
proved to be reliable. Many Of the dangers by
which health is threatened may be nulliied by the
use of that most irresistible of correctives ana
tonics, Iosetter's Stomach Bitters, which, by IN,
creasing vital power and rendering the physical
functions regular and active, keeps the system N
good working order and protects it against as
ease. For constipation, dyspepsia, liver compliant
nerv business, kidney and rheumatic ailments, IL Is
invaluable. and it affords sure defence against
malarial feyers besides removing every trace of
such disease from the system. Half wineglass-
full taken before meals improves the appetite ana
insures complete digestion and assimilation.

The visions that cast their soft witcheries DER

To see thee turn back from the bright shining

Thou art wrap'd, fondly wraP'd. i'll the dreams

Awake from thy slumber and heed the kind
warning.
All! shame that thou shirk st with pitiful plaint
And fearest to walk in the steep narrow pathway
Filled with the footprints of hero and saint.
To thee there is nothing sublime in denial,
Thou quatfst to the very dregs pleasures bright

'Twere better the waters of Lethe flowed DER thee,
Quenching thy wild dreams-dreamso of the soul.
Awake from thy slumbcr from the chains that
cnthrall thee.
Tower leonine in strong, noble pride!
/ Cast from thy pathway the sycophant traitors
! Who pledge thee in draughts of deception
dark tide.
| Repudiate her whose beauty allures thee,
| Nor shower on her fair lips Cupids sweet toll
| Those sighs on thy bosom are but for thy rival,
Oh rouse thee in time from the dreams of tht
soul.
Awake, oh. awake! and yet it is better
Sleep on. Too soon thou shalt know bite

In confidence lies the great charm of existence
Once severed, no power can restore 1t again.

But only a seraph from Heaven can roll
