Temperance Lectures.

Mrs. Elizabeth Saxon delivered
two temperance lectures at the
-Eourt House in this city this week !;
Sunday afternoon and Monday
night. She drew a good audience
on the first occasion aud the fame of
her oratory having spread abroad,
the house was crowded to overflow
when she made her appearance the
second time.
Mrs. Saxon is a member of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union and has been delegated by
that eminently respectable and very
philanthropic organization. to work
up Tennessee. Her purpose is, by
making speeches to arouse popular,
interest in the temperance cause
and to organize clubs of ladies who
will bend their energies to carrying
on the good work.
She begun her lecture Sunday af.
ternoon by expressing her regret
that she had not been allowed to
speak in a church, saying that
GAINESVILLE was the first town she
had visited in Tennessee where a
church had been denied her. She
knew that people called temperance
apostles cranks &C., and she was
willing to accept the appelIation.
All srroaf rafOrpaary and hnpoonifa
rians had been so dubbed. Euhda,
Moses and Christ were all denounc-
ed as fanatics in their time. She
was surprised to find people who
knew nothing of the WOman's
Christian Temperance Union. 1t
was a body 10000 strong, spread
over the entire Union and was ac-
comprising much good. She begun
her work as a philanthropist at 8
years of age when she accidentally |
into Jail in Alabama. She
had worked among prisoners ever
since. Her father had died pris-
oner of war in the Irving Block in
Memphis. There were but four
penitentiaries in the Union that she
had not visited. Mrs. Saxon devo-
ted this discourse to discussion of
"Woman in the Temperance Work"
and announced that she would dis
cuss prohibition" on the following
night. She thought woman pecu-
liarly fitted for carrying on work of
this nature. Men always started !
out for the accomplishment of an
object with the motto "Peacably if
we can, forcibly if we must" but
women accomplished everything
peaceably. There was, or had been,
great prejudice against woman be-
ing heard publicly. 1t was once
thought that she should not express
her opposition to anything except
by "a protest in prayer or a shrek
III death" The influence of woman
was great. The church of God is
by woman. When she
felt discouraged in her work she had
gained renewed strength from
made by the prophet
Elijah when he discovered that the
enemy coming upon him was not so
strong as his defenders: "They that
be with us are far greater than they
that be against u.s."
The lecture was we'll delivered
and very attentively listened to.
The above is not a full synopsis of
what was said and does not purport
to give any idea of the forcibIe Ian
guage and well arranged sentences
in which the speaker clothed her
ideas.

My financial troubles have driven
me to despair have lost my only
chance to retrieve my unfortunate
brother and self, and the future is
too dark for me to struggle against

Gen. Ba(leau on Sheridan.


Gen. Badeau, in Century for the cur.
rent month, says of Sheridan AZ West
Point:
A vacancy occurring at West Point
when he WAS seventeen, Sheridan ap-
piled to the member Of congress from
his district tor the appointment. The
answer inclosed his warrant rs cadet,
and directed him to report at West
Point, June l, 1913. He brushed up h is
spelling and grammar, and passed his
preliminary examination without trou-
bic. When he entered the academy he
knew nothing OF algebra, geometry or
any of the higher branches of study,
But Cadet II enry w. Slocum, since ma
jor general of volunteers and
member of congress from New
York, was his room mate. Slocum was
an Industrious, Woodworking student,
and from him Sheridan derived
much assistance, especially in the
solution of knotty points of algebra.
The two boys were very much in earn
est and after taps, when the lights were
put out and every cadet was expected
to remain in bed, Siocum and Sheridan
were in the habit Of hanging blanket
over the window, and then pursuing
their studies. At the first examination
Slocum went up toward the head of the
class, and Sheridan stood several files
higher than he had expe cted with his
disadvantages. In 1852, in his gradu.
ating year, he had some trouble of a bel.
ligerant sort with another cadet, which
resulted in his suspension. He thought
at the time the punishment was unjust
but ripper experience convinced him that
the authorities were right and he was
wrong. He was suspended for year,
after which he joined the class of 1853,
and in this he was graduated.

Land Owners in ENGLAND.

The following fresh statistics in regard
to the ownership of land in Great Britain
will prove interesting reading: Twenty.
eight dukes in the United Kinydom pos
sess l5S separate est,tes, comprising
nearly 100000 acres. The other MEM
bers Of the peerage, 497 in number, hold
ing l,4S5 separate estates, embracing
about 100000 acres. o. $4,000, 600
acres III England an Wales, more than
u. 900, 900 are owned by body of men
which possibly does not exceed 1850.
According to Hon. George Brodrick,
warden of Morton College, Oxford,
nearly half the enclosed land Of England
and Wales is owned by about 1920 per.
sons. The largest landed proprietor
amongst the peers is the Duke of South
erland. who owns more than 1,mO,-
600 acres. His rent roll, however, il not
30 large as that of some peers with much
less property, his income from land
amounting to only $G56,S7j. while that
of the Marquis of Bute, who owns only
! 6,00O acres, is considerably more than
81 600, 900. The duke OF Buccleuch
comes second to the Duke of Sutherland
in number of acres and second to the
land comprises 1860 acres, and his
rent--oll is about 81, 10000. The Duke
Of Northumberland rent-roll ranks
next, being $SSO,0tO. and next to him
comes the Duke OF Devonshire, with
about $25.O09 less. The Earl of Derby
and Earl Fitzwilliam receive rents
amounting annually to about 500, GOO.
Altogether, there are ten peers who.
each receive over $4,000 a year from
land.

University Journalism.

One of the most interesting and valua-
bic features of Johns Hopkins Universe.
ty library is the newspaper bureau.
Prof. II. B. Adams refers to it in Lee
ture as follows: "a trained editor and a
staff Of assistants read all the represen.
tative dailies, in lrk superior articles up.
on economic, political, so.ial, education
al, legal and historical subj cts. These
are afterwards clipped and arranged in
newspaper budgets kept in large envel-
opes or oblong boxes. These are mark
ed with labels, and the list of subjects
includes everything OF value that finds
its way into the columns Of the press.
Bulletin boards are covered daily
with the best clippings from the
latest papers: arranged under the lead
ing heads of current topics. The CLASH
tication and preservation Of the best ar
ticles on economic, social and political
topics are not only valuable for the com.
ing student. but are useful to the student
Of to-day. How often does one wish
that he had saved the report of some
important political discussion, 4 Mayors
message, department report, divorce
statistics and those many facts and illus-
tratiOns that he could work into the
warp and wool Of his students tasks it

sneer at present politics. The best en-.
crgies of our time are revealed in the
newspaper and in political discussion"

A Life Of AdyeItIlre.

The English General Gordon. whose
achievements in China and Sou1an have
won durable place in history, has led
life full Of adventure and stirring in
cidents. At Woolwich. where he was
entered for the royal engineers, he was
rcbu<ed for incompetence and told he
would never make an officer. He res
ented this by tearing his epaulets from
his shoulders and throwing them at his
superior's :eet. He obtained commits
sion and shortly alter distinguished
himself in the Crimeai. war. In the
great Tapping rebellion in China Gordon
assumed command of the emperor's
forces and won everv battle. Always
foremost in a charge Gordon carried no
weapon, having only cane which he
1sed to direct the movements of his
troops. This cane the Chinese believed
was a magic wand, and this idea was of
immense service. In 1874 he was en-
gagged by the khedive to deal with the
Soudan difficulties. His five years,
work in this country put IN end 20 the
slave traffic and paved the way for the
emancipation of tho Soudan slaves in
