THERE is good deal of dlsap- pointment in regard to the State Industrial @ University finding expression in the state press The same thing took hold of~the re cent legislature and came near de feating the usual appropriations. The conditions and circumstances which eliminated in the loss of Gen Hill have thrown their shadows across the University, and It will take something more than childs- play to remove them. The fate oi the University is in it's own hands It will have to prove itself worthy oi confidence again before the people will give it.

Quite sensation was created in the Southern hotel at St. Louis on Tuesday by the discovery of a hor- ribly mutilated man packed in a trunk which was removed from q room. The head was severed from the body. and on a paper found in the trunk was written, "So perish all traitors to the great cause" It proved to be the body of man named c. A. Preller, of London, and he was probably murdered by his room mate, who left the hotel several days previously.

Supreme Court Decision Tn the
 case of Perry.
EAKlN. J.

Perry vs. Little Rock & Fort Smith
 Railway Company, (Pope)
 The plaintiff in this case sued the defendant claiming that it was in- debted to him for work done. The facts were that before the road was purchased by the present corpora tion It was under different name, and was different corporation; that it being in an embarrassed condition, some of the stockholders individually advanced money and engaged the plaintiff to work in extending the same; that these same stockholders afterwards purchased the road.
 HELD: That the plaintiffs case did not come within the rule that, where one deals with the projectors of a new corporation that he can enforce the contract when the corporation is formed, because private parties act ed for themselves in this case with out authority as officers to bind the corporation, and in the absence of a lien on the property, the company cannot be held llabIe.

IMPORTED MEATS.

Attorney General Garland has fur. nished an opinion to the secretary of the treasury, in which he held that salted meats which are exported with the benefit of q drawback of duties on foreign salt, used in curing meats, are entitled to be reimported, duty free, upon refund of drawback. This opinion applies particularly to the case of the Anglo-Amerlcan Pork Packing Company, of Chicago, which recently exported large qST artsS of pork cured with foreign salt. Gpea which they received the drawback. The meat, not finding a ready mar ket abroad, was reimported, and, un- der the decision made by Secretary McCulloch, the company was requir- ed to pay duty on both meat and salt, as foreign goods.

THERE are two styles of newspa- pers. One sees the needs of the pub lie and tries to educate public senti- ment accordingly. The other watch es the drift of pubic sentiment and tres to jump aboard and rlde into popularity. The one is found in the front rank contending for principle of advantage to the public, the other lis found in the retinue of anything that will bring it dollar. It often occurs that a paper of this sort will suddenly change opinions, and es
 pecially upon questions affecting public morals. To-day you find it very much in favor of temperance, to morrow it advocates free whisky
 The next day if public sentiment shift again, it shifts also. It for sakes the exalted position of pub

In 1911, during the reign of Charles
ii, my great.grandfather was born, and
became noted iron aud copper founder.
In the reign Of George l the deficiency
Of copper coin in Ireland was so great
that for pence small coins called traps"
and bits of card board tf nominal value
were in circulation. The Government
determined, therefore, TO remove this
pressing want by supplying Ireland
with much better copper coinage than
it had ever possessed before. William
Wood, yielding to the corrupt usage of
the day, ga,e bribe to the Duchess of
kendal. the Kings mistress, to procure
him the contract. 1t was granted him
by the Wing Ministry 10 l722- 3, and
he issued farthings aud halfpence to
the value of fi0S, 900, superior in
beauty and value to those of England.
They were. says Leake, "undoubted-
ly the finest copper coin ever made for
Ireland" and Rudding confirms the
statement in his Annals of Coinage. ;
Dean Swift, however. desirous of aveng.
ing himself on Sir Robert Walpole and
the Wings for the defeat and disgrace
of his great patrons, Oxford and Boiling.
broke. availed himself of this opportu-
nifty TO vent his spleensagainst the new
coinage and infiame the Irish against
the Ministers who had made the mis-.
take of ordering it without consulting
the Irish Privy Council and the Lord.
Lieutenant. He audaciously asserted
shat the English were intending to en-.
rich . stranger at the expense of the
whole of Ireland; and, among other
ballads and lampoons, excited the peo-
pie by the lines:
The hslf-penee are coming the nations un-
doing,
There 10 an end Of your plowing and baking
and brewing
In that you must all go to rack and ruin
He next anonymously issued series
OF letters, supposed to be written by
poor but independent.spirited draper
who did not mean to be ruined without
. good, hearty outcry. He thus worked
the nation up to spirit of rebellion.
IL was in vain that the Government
published the official report of Sir Isaac
Newton, then master of the mint who
tested the new coinage in l724, aud
pronounced that in weight. goodness
and tineness it rather exceeded than
fell short Of the conditions Of the pat.
ent; in vain that it declared no one was
compelled to take the money unless he
liked. The excitable population, Cath
olies and Protestants, Wings and
Tories, rich and poor, would not receive
it. Woods effigy was dragged through
the streets of Dublin and burned, while
the portrait of Dean Swift as the savior
OF Ireland was engraved, placed on
signs, woven in handkerchiefs and
struck on medals. = Mary Bowitt, in
