IChicago News.
To-day John A. Logan plumes
himself an the chosen leader OF
the Grand Army Of the Republi.
cans, the devoted friend Of the ne.
gro, aud a ft standard bearer of
the Republican party. Before the
war he was o rabid Democrat and
q negro hater and prosecutor, and
aided and abetted secession.
Turning back the pages of the
journals Of the Illinois Legislature
it is found that he was the origi-
nator Of the black laws which pre-
vented the immigration Of free me-
groes into this State. This law
was passed Feb. ~, 1853. The
first section Of this barbarous law
provided for the indictment Of any
persons who should bring or cause
to be brought into this State any
negro or mulatto slave, whether
said slave is set free or not. The
true spirit Of the law is best sho wn
in the following section:
"Sec. 3. Ifany negro or mulatto,
bond or free, shall hereafter come
into this State and remain ten
days with the evident intentioA of
residing In the same, every such
negro or mulatto shall be deemed
guilty of high misdeneauor, and
for the first offepse shall be fined
the sum Of $50 to be recovered
before any justice Of the peace in
the county where said negro or
mulatto may be found. Said pro.
ceedings shall be in the name OF
the people Of the State Of Illinois,
aud shall be tried by jury OF
twelve men,
Succeeding sections provide that
the fine shall be increased $50
over the last penalty inflicted for
every successive conviction, and

osene oil, to a large lot of kidding
also saturated with kerosene, was
added. The fire was then started,
and when at its most intense heat
two of the grenades, which are
made of glass containing n liquid,
was broken in the flames, which

The second test was to show the

and 10 feet high, thoroughly tar

set up and the fire started ut the
bottom. When the blaze was
streaming out at the top four feet
or more, one bottle was broken in
at the bottom and extinguished
the fire as II by magic.

The Tulane University.

Col. VIM. Preston Johnson, the
wisely.selected president Of the
Tulane University, in his report to
the Board of Administrators, out.
lined the plan for organizing and
developing this great university,
from which we select a few
thoughts in order that the people
of Louisiana may be apprised of
the immediate as we'll as the pros
pective value of the princely gift
of the noble philanthropist Paul
Tulane.
In order to carry out the
thought of Mr.. Tulane Col. John.
ston proposes to establish a uni
versity that shall include the whole
field of higher education above
the elementary course. 1t will full
I'll the functions of the high school,
college and university, and provide
also for technical and professional
instruction. at will cover the
whole wide area of human knowl-
edge, rising through regular gra-
dations, higher and higher to the
very utmost attainments OF the
human mind.r In speaking OF
the wisdom of Mr.. Tulane in select.
ing the higher education of our
people for his work of benevo'
lepce, Col. Johnston says, that
Mr.. Tulane's bounty scattered in
elementary education would prove
of small avail directed as it is up.
on a single object, it will become
a tremendous engine of instruc'
ton. The university will have
the lifting power of a hydraulic
machine because its forces are
similarly exerted." THE educa'
tional system Of any people to De
complete must constitute finish
ed, homogeneous structure. 1t
should be a pyramid, with the
common schools at its base and
the university at its apex. Such
is the much-admired German sys-

IYonth's Comnanion.l

Youths Companion.
What is there about a graveyard
which so frightens people that
few care to enter one at night 7
Even the sailor who has faced q
hurricane or the guns Of an enemy,
will 20 long way round at night,
rather than take the short cut that
leads across the village church
yard.
An interesting story, which is
yet told at the firesides of Yer.
mont, brings ont the fearlessness
Of the hero Of Ticonderaga, and
his indifference to the supersti.
tiou that then ruled in the commu.
nifty. There was q dispute one
day in the village where Ethan
Allen lived, as to how far his well
known courage would permit him
to 60 In deeds Of daring. The dis
pute finally resulted in q wager
being proposed to Allen. The
terms were that he should 90 to
the graveyard on dark, stormy
night, without a lantern, enter a
certain vault, open q coffin, and
lay his hand on the skull of the
skeleton within. His word was
to be taken as the guarantee OF
the performance.
When a dark night came, not a
few Of Aliens admirers thought
that his courage would fail him.
But he went to the cemetery, en-.
tered the tomb, groped his way to
the coffin, took OF the lid, and
laid his hand on the skeletons
skull.
just then q sepulchral voice OK
claimed:
"That's my skull y
"All right" thought Allen, who
suspected that some one had fol
lowed him to see If he could
frighten him; "I'll show him what
| dare do.n
He replaced the lid. and open
ing another coffin, placed his hant
on its skull. Again was the sep
ulchral voice, saying:
"That's my skull ~
"That's a lie,r exclaimed Allen
mo man ever had two skulls"
From that day the villagers be
lieved that Ethan Aliens courage
was bounded by no human limita
| tions.
