MR.. w. NJ. ANDERSON,

of Trenton, Tenn, was the first
speaker. His subject was "The Strug-
gle" We wish to congratulate Mr..
Anderson on the marked improve
ment of this speech over the effort he
made last year. Yet we have to COM
plain, to some extent, of the same fault
of which we then accused him. He
bends his subject to the display of in
formation, going out of his way to
pick up obscure and high sounding
geographical and historic names. His
sentences were well arranged, his
ideas good and his voice fine. He said
that the philosophic historian studies
the human race as unit and consid-
ers its history as whole. His object
was to point out the constant struggle
through which man has gone in the
attainment of all that is good in gov
eminent science and religion.

Mk. w. F. DOWD,

of Aberdeen, Miss, spoke ON "The
Permanence of Government" He be-
gan by asserting that all ancient gov
ernments, no matter what were their
perfection or defects, had eventually
failed. Permanently of government did
not depend so much on the absolute
perfection of its plan as on the charac-
ter and temperament of the people gov
erned. The United States is threaten
ed by the great increase in crime.
Leading thinkers recommended uni
versal education as remedy for this
evil, but education often only gives the
natural born criminal wider scope
for his yillainy. Intemperance in the
use of alcoholic liquors was a source
of much danger to the American peo-
pie and the perpetuation of their liber-
ties. He should hate to hear of Il reign
of bribery and RIGHTEOUSNESS at Wash
ington, such as had appeared in the
capitals of the great nations of the
past and marked the beginning of
their decay. Rather let our liberties
perish at the hands of cong uering
tyrant than suffer such doom. Mr..
Dowd is in no sense an orator, and
don't succeed well in impressing the
audience, but his speech had less OF

than some of the others delivered.

suggested the thought of writing similarly to
Sir Walter Scott. Her brain may well be
called the mother of the Waverley Novels.

given employment in the prison shoe shop.

the company at will, as do most of the older
prisoners. His cell has been furnished BY
friends. through local dealer, with carpet
and easy chair. A large hanging lamp was
sent in, but was returned by the officials be-
cause it would be in the way and use up air
which the prisoner would require. A small
er lamp with wall bracket was substituted
Fish bears the tedium of prison life uncom-
plainingly, although evidently despondnet at
times At first he did not wish employment,
preferring to remain in his cell. but afterward
he changed his mind. He is in receipt of
considerable correspondence, but he has
written only one short letter to his daghter-
During the first three months he will be al
lowed to write three letters: after that one
in six weeks, unless by special permission
Once a month he will be allowed visit Of
half an hours duration with friends. Bust
ness visits are allowed as often as may be
necessary. Fish is treated precisely an any
other convict of equal age and health.
