A State School For Girls.

1t is claimed by the women of Mississip
pi in behalf of their sex:
l. That women need and deserve educa
ton at the hands of the State as much al
men. 1t is just as necessary, and Just al
constitutional to educate one sex as thu
other.
2. The constitution provides fora system
of public schools and says expressly thai
the Legislature 'tshaH as soon as ~practica
bic establish schools of higher grade. >
These schools of higher grade have beer
established and are being maintained by
the State, for every other class, white males
colored males, and eotOred females, and il
there is anything in our Code or Eonstitu.
ton which prohibits class legislation, it If
unconstitutional or unlawful not to estab.
llsh school of higher grade for white fe-
males. 1t is not only unlawful but unjust
to discriminate against them on account OF
their color.
3. Because the State cannot educate all
she should educate none," is an argument
which applies Is much against institutions
for white males and negroes, as against
those for white females. The University
and A. and N. College cannot educate all
the white males, but these institutions are
doing good work, and their influence is
felt all over the State.
Private female schools are doing good
work but they cannot do enough. One mo-
BILE College President in south Mississippi
has educated many girls in his school as
charity pupils, but his means are limited.
and even if he could educate them all. stilI.
as matter of right, the State should
make suitable provision for the education
of her white daughters"
Napoleon once said the great need of
France was mothers, and there il a Mace
DOMAIN cry in Mississippi for educated.
practical, women, to be mothers to the sons
and daughters of the State. Avenues are
opening, too, so that women may become
bread-winners, producers instead of con-
sumers, and the State owes IL to them. and
TO herself, to ct them for some work in
life. =
We need a Normal School, that women
may be trained for teachers. All educa-
tors contend that normal schools are es-
sentlal to the success Of the public school
system, and whilst women are largely en-
gagged in teaching in our public Schools.
Few OF them have been fitted for the yvork
by special training. Tbs postal teleOraph

Valdosta Items.

VALDosTA, GA, March 10.-Our town
is growing rapidly, as the new buildings
springing up in almost every quarter in
dictate. Soon the new stores-phenix-
like-will rise from their ashes, and fill
the unsightly hiatus occasioned some
time ago by the dread visitation of fire.
Real estate has enhanced wonderfully for
the past two months-gone up 30 per cent.
or more.
The academy here is utterly incommen-
surate to the requirements of the place,
and its general appearance is a sad COM
mentary on the progressive spirit of the
citizens.
Yaldosta is very much in need of pub
lie library,
The cold snap some week or more ago
placed on an equal footing all the truck
farmers, as those who had fields of water.
melons up saw their bright prospects of
future wealth vanish in night, and now,
with melancholy visages, begin to plant
de moro. 1t is to be feared that they will
commit the folly of oyer-production, as
was the case last year.
For the past two months the young men
Of this county have been worshiping at the
shrine of Hymen; and, while they have
almost invariably sought the fair ones of
Brooks, the young ladies of Lowndes have
looked on with a calm equanimity and a
stole Indifference characteristic of mar
tyrs. Let the young men still fitch from
Brooks, and gather hither the rare exotics
to mingle in delightful harmony with our
indigenous beauties.
Last week ground was formally broken
on the Florida Midland and Georgia Rail-
road, which is to run from this point via
Madison, Fla, to Dead Mans bay. 1t
will be another of the many arms reach
ing out from the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railroad, and will gather the
rich stores from a section comparatively
undeveloped. 1t will pass through a sec
ton of country of almost unbroken pine
forest unsurpassed in quality by that of
any other section; besides, the soil is
light loan, is we'll adapted to truck farm
ing Their intention seems to be to push
the road to completion. r.

A BEAUTIFUL SINNER.
How Baltimore Family Expiates til
Folly of a Misguided Member.

How a Baltimore Family ExpiateS the
Folly of a Misguided Member.
1t was recently that had occasion to yis-
it the House Of the Good Shepherd, says a
Baltimore letter to the Philadelphia Press,
and became possessed of the reason why
the devout Catholics of the MacTavish
family have surrender to the church so
much of their money and lands. Miss
Emily MacTavish, a woman of great
beauty and a leader of the highest social
circles of Maryland, had just then taken
the black veil in the Convent of the Visi-
tation, and had professed her wish to be-
come one of the Sisters of the Good
Shepherd. Her abandonment of the world
Of society had created a sensation that was
the most immediate and prominent topic
Of conversation and even Of newspaper
discussion.
She had bequeathed the larger portion
of her money to the church, and those
who saw the ceremony of her entrance
into the nunnery will never forget its
solemnity. When she came to the front
of the altar, clad in her white satin robes,
there were many regrets expressed that
she was thencefOrth to be dead to the
world. But if there is sOlid truth IN the
idea of yicarious sacrifice, she was an
offering and an atonement for the sins Of
one OF her ancestors.
Passing through the hallway of the
House of the Good Shepherd. / entered
the audience or reception room, just be-
yond which the Sisters were moving about
in their whitedlannel garments. On the
wall of this room is an oil paintng-a
life-siZe picture of a lovely woman IN the
bloom OF youth. Her abundant black
hair is cOmbed and pulled at the side in
consonance with the style of forty years
ago. Her dress is lOw-necked, and the
splendid neck and bosom are not hidden
from sight.
'Who," asked Rev. Father John Fo-
ley, President of the institution, sis that
WOman?''
s'The picture is that of Margaret Mac
lavish, and Margaret MacTayish became
the famous Mrs. Howard, the mistress of
Emperor Napoleon Ill, and the only
woman of whom the Empress Eugene
was ever jealous. Margaret MacTaYish
went with some members of her family TO
England about the year 1850 and married
there a Capt. Howard, an officer in the
English army and a connection Of the
Towards of Norfolk She was in Paris at
the time of the coup detat, and engaged
the attention Of Napoleon. 1t is not known
where or when she died, and perhaps the
sole relic of her splendid and guilty life is
the picture upon the wall Of the House Of
the Good Shepherd in Baltimore"
Sand now" a Catholic priest asked
me, ''can you wonder that the MacTayish
family are still doing penance for the
guilt of Margaret? In their view her sin
was all the greater because it was so
nearly associated with an imperial
throne. Napoleon undoubtedly loved the
woman, and her affection for him is not
subject to questioning. The family have
given thousands upon thousands of dol
lars to Catholic benevolent purposes, but
their interest still centres upon this
refuge Of the wretched and fallen, and
which might be given their name if the
rules of the church permitted it,"

LELAND ALUNATIC.
One of the Famous Family of Hotel Men
in an Asylum.


Lewis E. Leland, one of the noted fami-
lies of hotel keepers and the proprietor OF
the sturtevant House, says New York
special of the 9th inst. to the st. Louis
Republican, is under restraint as dam
gerous lunatic. The tact has not been
secret for some time, despite the efforts
made to suppress 1t, but it has only within
the lastfew days become the common talk
of the street. Six months ago, when Mr..
Leland's strange actions first compelled
action by his friends, he was confined
within the walls of private asylum, but
was discharged in a few weeks appa-
rently fully restored to mental and physi-
cal health. 1t was not long, however,
before he developed more dangerous
form of mania. He became subject to
spasms of violence, in one Of which he at
tempted. it is said, to cut his throat. 1t
was At last impossible to ignore the fact
that his being at large was a constant
menace to himself and his surroundings,
and it was decided to put him under re-
straint permanently. Tue disappearance
and fate of Charles Delmonico just at that
time FASTENED the action OF his brother,
who took charge of his affairs, and Lewis
E. Leland was taken to a private asylum
up WV g hnCAC uC mas oiANE a
securely guarded prisoner.
Lewis Z. Leland started life as a clerk
in the United States Hotel, and afterwards
was room clerk at the Metropolitan, when
his uncles, Maj. Leland and Warren Lee
land, kept the hotel. subsequently he
ran the Oriental Hotel in san Francisco,
and on his return East made an extended
trip to Europe. When he came back to
this country he opened a hotel in little
house above the SturteYant House, where
Brooks shoe store now is, and gradually
extended business, taking in adjoining
property until the hotel grew into
the present Sturtevant House. His
brother George, who was keeping the st.
Charles Hotel, joined him in the enter
prise, and about 1870 they opened the
Sturtevant together. Lewis had mean
while become interested with Charles in
the Deleyan House at Albany, but aban-
doned his interest before the failure of
this venture. Warren and Charles Le-
land, who had successfully maintained
the Ocean House at Long Branch, failed
in the attempt to make the old Coleman
House, in this city, pay as the Leland,
and legal troubles of an annoying charac-
ter resulted. This was the most recent
failure in the family.

CoLoNIsTs FOE LIBERIA.

A Cargo of Philadelphia Negroes
Others to Follow Next FalI-The Flu
ture of the Republic.
The American Colonization Society. To-
Gated on Walnut street, above Sixth, says
the Philadelphia Times Of the 10th INST,
is impatiently awaiting the arrival of the
ship MonroYia, in which is to sail a colo
ny Of negroes, who are to be sent by the
society to Cape Palmas, in the southern
portion Of the Republic of Liberia. They
are to go out for the purpose of settling
there and holding that section of the coun-
try against the encroachment of the Eng
lish Government. The Liberians have,
since the American Government with
drew its protection a few years ago,
suffered the loss of a considerable portion
of their territory, and the American
Colonization Society, the founder of the
Republic OF Liberia, is trying by Occupa-
ton to save to that republic all disputed
territory. Sierra Leone, extending from
the northern boundary of Liberia to the
Mamma river, is in complete possession of
the English, and the colonization society
is apprehensive lest the whole of that ter
ritory along the A lantic coast will soon
be entirely in the possession of the Eng
u
IBERIA stricken from the map.
A prominent member of the colonization
society was asked if he thought the little
African Republic was a successful exper-
iment. He said: Il once had great hopes
for Liberia, but | must confess myself
somewhat discouraged at the present
time. Unfortunately, they have followed
the example of Hayti and have raised the
color issue. There are two political par
ties now in Liberia, divided on that line,
and the popular cry there now is Liberia
for blacks J. j. Roberts. Liberals first
President and the George Washing
ton of that country, was defeated
when he last ran for office on
the color issue. He was very fair, all
most white, in fact, and native Of this
country. The Liberians now have black
President. who is a native of Africa, and
the colored or mixed people are given to
understand that they are not wanted.
Very few cOlOred people can now be in
duced to go to Liberia, the disposition be-
ing to let Liberia be purely a black re-
public. / am much discouraged regard
ing the prospects of affairs there, and
doubt II our government can be induced
to give it any support beyond recognition
as an independent power.
'That portion of Africa undoubtedly
has rich and varied resources" continued
the speaker, "but the colOred people of
this Countrywide mixed people, | mean
can no longer be induced to 20 there"
The colOred people of this city, strange
as 1t may seem, look upon the colonial
ton society with dIsfavor. They have
always mistrusted its intentions, and
think its purpose is simply to thin out the
negro population in this country.

A Fight with a Heron.

A few weeks ago Col. VIM. E. Sisty, the
Fish Commissioner of Colorado, went to
the State fish-hatchery, on the Platte
river, nine miles from Denver. While he
was inspecting the hatchery he saw a
large blue heron preying upon the young
fish in the box. He approached the
heron, expecting that the bird would
take alarm and fly; but the heron at
tackled him furiouslv. The bird was full
" as tall as Col. Sisty, and was so very
swift that he was upon the man in what
seemed an instant. He used his neck
with lightning rapidity, striking all the
time at Col. Sisty's face. Col. Sisty was
unable to do more at first than protect his
eyes, and the blows rained upon his hands
and left them bleeding. His face was also
cut in places, for the bird was quicker
with his bill than the man was with his
hands. After the surprise was over, Col.
Ssty prepared to assume the offensive.
Projecting mis- face with his hat, he rushed
in upon the huge heron, seized the erea-
ture by the body, and hurled him to the
ground. Then the struggle was soon de-
cided, for Col. Sisty grasped the heron's
neck, and held ON until his enemy was
checked to death. The heron was taken
to Denver and exhibited to hundreds of
people, who soon learned of the Fish Com
missioner's exploit.

THREE GREAT EDITORS

Reminded of Mr.. Blaine, and One of
Them Promises Not to be Rough with
Logan.
In 1876 Blaine was beaten at Cincinnati
by the position taken by the editors of a
number of leading Republican journals,
says Washington special, including
Medill of the Chicago Tribune, Deacon
Richard Smith of the Cincinnati Gazette,
and Field Marshal Halstead of the Gin
cinnati Commercial. These three still
live to fulfill the pledge that, in case that
Blaine was again a candidate, they would
show a record ofhis public life that would
kill him. 1t is time for those distinguished
journalists to bestir themselves. Blaine
is making wonderful leaps ahead. 1t is
reported that the Field Marshal is Of the
opinion that Blaine's record is outlawed
and that it ought no longer to count
against him. 1t is also said that the truly
good Deacon looks on Blaine as better
man than he was, and "the smartest of
the lot" The able editor of the Chicago
Tribune, it is understood, Is disposed not
to be too rough with Logan until there is
a finely defined bow Of promise in the
political sky.

A CONVICTs STORY
Which is Told to Mr.. Springer's Commit
tee in Letter.


tee in Letter.
Henry W. Burton, a life convict in the
Albany n. Y. )penitentiary, says WASH
ington special of the 7th, writes a long
communication to Mr.. Springer's commit
tee. He says in substance that when
arrested for mail robbery at Denver, in
1881, United States Marshal Wilcox took
from his (Burton's) person the sum of
$500, which was never returned to him.
Burton further alleges that while travel
ing from Omaha to Detroit Wilcox desired
a passenger sitting near them to assist
him in case the prisoner attempted to
escape. At the completion OF their jour-
ney Wilcox offered the passenger 10,
which the latter refused to accept, saving
that he had performed no service Which
would justify him in taking 1t, tnereupon
Wilcox persuaded the gentleman to sign
a blank voucher, which Wilcox afterward
filled out at leisure. Mr.. Springer saws
that, unless Wilcox is radically different
from other United States Marshals whose
accounts have been examined by his COM
mIttee, he charged the government with
the service of guard at 50 day, mileage
at 10 cents a mile, meals and other eX-
penses. The letter will be referred to the
Department of Justice, and Wilcox's
vouchers on that occasion will be sub
iected to rigid ANALYSIS.
