A Considerate CoIored Man


He tapped the egg gently with his
knife, and it popped, and people all
over the house began to examine the
gas fixtures TO see if the gas was prop

This egg doesn't seem to be quite
fresh" remarked Gilhooly. having
opened the window.

Admission to the Industrial Insti-
tute and College.

j. Application must be made 10 ths
County Superintendent OF Education.
2. The County Superintendent adopts
his own method of deciding to whom b
will give the scholarships appointed to hi
county.
3. He has authority 10 conduct exami-
nations to determine whether applicants
are prepared to enter the 1st, or Freshman
class. Where examinations viii cover the
following subjects, to-sit: Reading, Spell
ling, Writing, Geography tnot including
Physical Geography, Practical Arithme'
tic, History Of the @. s. and English Gram
mer. presume no pupil viii be eonsid'
cred that cannot make IS &c, on her ex-
aminations.
In this way the County Superintendent
gives appointment TO as many as the ap-
portionment allows his county; to .hese ne
gives certificate of appointment and OF
approved examination. This certificate.
with payment OF the required fees in ad-
vance, admits the pupil TO the first or
Freshman class.
Suppose there are more applicants than
the County Superintendent can appoint.
He selects by his method the number al
lowed and gives them certificates of APP
pointment-he sends me list OF these
appointments; with these he sends me in
addition a list OF all applicants who he
has not appointed. When these reports Of
County Superintendent are all in, have
list Of all applicants and Of all the ap-
pointments made
1t will probably happen that some coun-
ties will not take up all their quota in full /;
so that there will be many vacant places.
/ will then proceed to fill the vacant places
by applicants on my list II necessary, /
can continue these appointments until the
number of students is four hundred. Two
hundred can board in the College; others
will have to get board in private families
in town. A number of families offer to
take boarders at from $1,000 to $500 per
month for meals, lodging, fuel and lights.
III applicants do not desire to stand the
entrance examinations before the County
Superintendent they can be examined at
the College on the opening OF the session,
October 22d, 1885.
Those who receive appointments from
me will have the same privileges and ad-
yantages in all respects as those appointed
by County Superintendents of Education.
Every appointee will have free tuition in
the Literary Department, the Normal De-
partment and the Industrial Department.
Charge will be made Tor Music on Piano
or Organ, for Oil Painting and for Fancy
Work.
1t is my purpose that this College shall
do thorough work in all departments.
County Superintendents will be particular
in conducting these examinations. Pupils
who expect to apply for admission should
have accurate knowledge of the Grammar
school studies mentioned; if they are
lacking in preparation they should study
again, especially Arithmetic and Gram
mar.
Superficial work will no more be tolerated
in this Institution than in a College of
high grade for young men. The girls of
Mississippi can come up to this high
standard. This fact has been demonstrated
by the standing of girls in their classes in
the University of Mississippi.

The Pretty Cup.

They were very devoted parents, and
loved their little son. But it was not
the right sort of love. 1t was too all
absorbing, of that which is akin to
indolatry. They petted and caressed,
and gave up to him in everything.
Caresses did well enough, but humoring
a child so much is bad plan.
Perhaps this couple attached no wrong
to it, as this was their only one, still
the sin is not less great.
"How handsomer the father said,
patting the curly head that rested on
his knee, and the pleased smile of his
wife bespoke their thoughts alike.
The truth to tell, he was lovely, this
young being with such wonderful soul
| speaking eyes which seemed to indicate
a broad fund of intellect for future
years. Each feature was well formed,
and the active limbs plump and round.

So the fond sire foolishly spent the
hard won thousands he had honestly
earned in fine frocks and expensive toys
when plain top would have answered
the last purpose as well. / once knew a
sweet, refined girl, who never had any
play things except boy baby doll and
she was perfectly happy.

In wild fair field grew,
Where no sun did scorch, or rain o'erfow,
And only kissed BY the dew.

A Mexican City.

A newspaper correspondent describes
the approach to the city of chihuahua,
as follows:
At a turn of the road the city itself
came in sight, nestled at the foot of
the hills, the two tall campanile of
the great cathedral dominating the
landscape, and the low, white, fat
rooted houses lying upon the terra cot
ia surface of the ground with a most
Oriental effect. Indeed, everything
about the spot is distinctly Eastern.
Across the plains as we rode from the
station to the ground. the gay serapes
of the horsemen recall at once the bur-
nous of the Arab. The magnificent
horsemanship, as they fly across the
open country, is another point of re-
semblance. Dressed in short jacket,
with wide, flowing trousers, feet thrust
into immense hanging stirrups of or
namented leather, deeply fringed; .

liant blanket, tossed somewhere across

Don't forget that it is the enemies of
temperance who declare prohibition to
be failure. There is not distillery or
a brewery in prohibitory Maine, and
the liquor tax collected by the Govern
ment is but three cents per inhabitant,
while in New Jersey it is $2,40, and in
the country at large $1,S3. If prohibi-
ton did not prohibit, the liquor inter
ests would not oppose it.-American

TRICKS ON THE TRACKS!
Dangers from which Engineers
Save the Public and Them
selves.

One who is accustomed to railway
travelling can scarcely realize how much
he Is dependent for safety upon the en-
glneer. Added to the responsibility Of
their station, engineers are also in con-
slant danger of accidents caused BY the
tricks of Jealous rivals.
The rivalry, it is said. sometimes
prompts TO the doing OF utterly mean
tricks. A Nickel Plate engineer after
his very first trip was laid off because
he had ''cut out" ali the bearings of his
engine. He was re-Ins tated. however.
after he proved that some rival had fUed
h{s olinJ can lgitR emery. Another new
. lgineer was suspended for burning out
the tiues of his boiler. Through grief
at the loss of his position ne died, and
then a conscience stricken rival confess
ed that he had put OF iH the tank so that
il foamed and showed water at the top
guage, when in reality there was scarce
ly quart in the boiler
These intense jealOuSies, together with
the terrible anxiety incident TO their
work, has a terrible straining effect on
the nerve, and statistics tell us that,
though Locomotive Engineers may look
strong and vigorous, they are not all a
hearty class. Ex-Chief Engineer A. s.
Hampton, indianapolis, Ind, (Div. 143)
was one of those apparently hearty
men, but he says: The anxiety,
strain and jolting came near finishing
me His sufferings localized in catarrh
or the bladder, but he used Warmers
safe cure faithfully for twenty weeks
and now exclaims, Il am a we'll man"
I. 5. Ingraham, of Cleveland, Ohio, as
sistant Chief-engineer, and other prom
lnent members are also emphatic in its
praise.

BALTIMORE, October Seen. JohnA.
Logan was rendered a banquet at the

invincibles, of Maryland. About 125
people participated in the banquet.
After the removal of the cloth, Gen.
Logan was welcomed by VIM. Marineat
Republican candidate for clerk OF
the court of appears. Gen. Logan
responded by returning his thanks
to the Logan Invincibles, and paid a
high compliment TO the sociabIllty,
hospitality, energy, wealth, intel.
igence, and growth of Baltimore. Ot
national affairs he said: This govern
ment is a republic IN name and will
be until the people shall be educated up
to the point where every citizen shall
have a voice in the affairs of the nation
without limit or hindrance. He de-
clared it the duty of every
honest man of whatever party
to speak and vote against
all who tolerated fraud or violence to
deprive the American citizen of his bal
lot and voting for his choice. The edu-
cation of illiterate was the greatremedy
to relieve the country from the disgrace
now resting upon it. because of the
brutality exercised against the rights of
American citizens III many parts of the
Union.

Smallpox Scare

New York, October S.-A sick negro
arrived in Albany from Montreal yes
terday. a physician said he was suffer
ing from the preliminary symptoms of
smallpox. A purse was made and he
was put on board a train from New
York this morning. After the train
pulled out he announced the nature
of his ailment and inside of
a minute the car was detached from the
train and side tracked, but under orders
it hitched to a later train. and with its
solitary passenger hauled to this cfty.
where the health officers declared that
he was not suffering from that disease.
He was, however, isolated. The arrival
of his car at the Grand Central Depot
caused a sensation.
