STATE FEMALE COLLEGE.
Evening POst.l

We fell in with Mr.. Marshall
Miller yesterday. lie had just re.
turned from Columbus, Miss. where
he went to attend q meeting Of
Trustees of the Mississippi Indus
trial Institute and College for girls.
He speaks in glowing terms of the
promising institution and Of the
beautiful city of Columbus. Ae.
eording to Mr.. Miller the Institute
and College will be one Of the
most beautiful and comfortable
public buildings in the Southern
country, beginning with capacity
for 200 boarders beside the faculty.
The rooms are large and thorough
ly ventilated. The entire buildings
will bc lighted with gas, which is
furnished In Columbus at from
$3.50 to $500 per thousand, and
supplied with water from the city
water works at s cents per thous-
and gallons. Steam heating ap.
paratus will be used throughout.
The grounds, % acres, contain =
yard with ornamental trees, a
largo garden, campus and exquut
site park with grand old forest
trees. Mr.. Miller thinks that il
the entire Union had been ran
sacked no more suitable person
for President of the College could
have been found than the present
incumbent DIR. II. w. Jones, A. M,
& l.. l.. ID. While the young ladies
who attend this institution will be
thoroughly instructed in useful
arts and industries such as phono
graphy, photography, telograpby,
type writing, designing engraving
and repousso, thcre will be u com
plcto normal training and a full
collegiate course. Under the al
lotment mado by the Trustees

threo pupils. Tuition will be fret

Washington Notes.
lPicayune Speeial.I

Secretary Whitney is resolved
not to he imposed on by John
Roach. He has required another
trial Of the Dolphin, one in the
sound and another at sea. Up TO
this time this vessel has not been
able to run ten miles at o decent
rate of speed.
Washington is cursed by a Re-
publican Police Judge named
Smell. This judge has heard the
case of the two culprits who dis
turbed the whole city by firing
cannon at tho dead of night and
has let them of with a compliment
and nominal fine.
The extent to which Malone car
ried the business Of using Federal
patronage in order to debsueh the
politics Of Virginia is illustrated
by tho records Of the Interior De-
partment in this city, This de-
partmont has hardly any relations
with Virginia or business in it ber-
doris. But there were on its rolls
on LIST October last no less than
50 Malone negroes aud 100 white
employees.
Tho creatures have been un-
earthed lattcrly. They show what
civil service reform amounted to
under the Arthur administration.
Notwithstanding Mahono's use OF
the patronage undor Arthur, and
his treachcry to tho Democratic
party, he has had tho audacity to
thrust himself upon President
Cleveland, and it is believed
would bo very glad to transfer his
allegiance to the new administIa
tion, but the Democrats Of Vir
ginia have no use for him.

YouRg Mems Democratic CIab.

The following resolutions we're
adopted at the Young Mems Dom
Ocratic Club on Wednesday oven
ing:
Whereas, 1t is notorious fact
that the government of our cOun-
ty is not being administered with
a proper regard to efficiency, hon.
esty or economy;
Whereas, One of the chief OBJ
stacles to reform in our county af-
fairs has been removed by the
change of national administration
concerning which our colored citi-
zens have been continually mislcd
aud deceived; therefore be it
Resolved, That we call on the
good citizens of the county, ire
spectiye of color, to come forward
for organization this summer and
devote themselves for a brief sea-
son to our local politics, not as
politicians in the sense which has
made that term a term ofreproach
but as business men who recognize
the fact that good government
especially in local affairs, is to
them amatter of dollars and cents.
Resolved further, That if tho
business men and taxpayers genor-
ally of the county will lead tho
way in the struggle fer the rule of
honesty and Intelligence in our
homo government, we pledge our
active personal service in the
cause, to carry out their plans,
and we confidently believe our
efforts will be crOwed with sue.
cess.
Resolved. That wo request the
newspapers of this city to publish
these resolutions and to urge thom
with all their undoubted power.
The following resolutions were
also offered to tho Club, and unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved, That we view with
alarm and regret the retention in
office, of The Republican Federal
ofllce-holders in our county and
Congressional district. While
heartily pledging ourselves to
civil service reform, we claim that
they are beyound the pale of its
protection and are not entitled to
an honorable discbarge,but should
be drummed out of camp.
In tho case Of tho Vicksburl
postmaster in particular we cal
upon tho Hon. l.. q. 9. Lamar
Senators George and Walthall
and our Congressman and Othel
lenders in tho party to use theil
influence at Washington to have
him removed, and wo deem
speedy action in this case tho more
imperative for the reason that ii
spite of repeated charges pending
againt him at Washington Of vic
lation of the civil service rule
be is an active candidate for th,
office of sheriff of this county a
the approaching election.
Resolved, That u copy be givel

The New York Tribune puts up
its vulgar blackguardism directed
against prominent Democrats. Its
special object just now is the new
minister to Russia, Mr.. Lothrop.
Probably it would be hard to find a
man in Michigan more respected
By both parties than this gentle
man. Since these SANDERS were
published tho Legislature of Mich
igan which is largely Republican,
have, by a rising unanimous vote,
vindicated Mr.. Lothrop, and de-
clared that he will confer honor
on the country at q foreign court.

DEAR SIR: Your favor OF the

first and only intimation / have
had that the people of the State
desire q canvass upon the part ol
those who aspire to tho nomina.
tion for Governor.
Such o canvass has never been
made in this State before to my
knowledge, and l see no reason
why there should be a departure
from tho long established custom
at this time.
My views on public questions
have boon frequently announced
to tho people in the different can
vases l have made, and, later, IN
an official message to tho Legisla
ture. If there 10 any dissatisfac
ton with these viows, or any de
mand for a further expression O
my opinions at this time, l am noI
aware of it. whatever may be thC
demand for the views of othel
candidates.
You say that it would doubtless
be agreeable to Gen. FeatherstOi
to participate in tho canvass yo,
suggegt. 1t may be true, but
question his Willingness to rotir,
from tho bench to mako q can
vass of this character. At al
events, l havo not my consent a
present to close a public office
which demands constant alton
tion, TO enter on q personal can
vass for the nomination for Gov

Broke Him of the Habit.

John Borley, Of Rondout, owns dog:
he is also ths possesser Of q number OF
chickens. For long time no eggs were
forthcoming. he regarded this as very
strange, as the fowls were always fed well
and had the best attention paid them. But
day after day, when he went to the nest In
search of hen fruit, he invariably drew
blank. He was positive that something
was wrong, and therefore decided to keep
q watch, for one day at least, to try and
discover the thief. Accordingly be con-
ceAled himself in the hen house. After
he had been there short time numerous
cacklings convinced him that the chickens
had got in their work. Immediately after
the csckling ceased Mr.. Borley was aston
ished to see his dog come sneaking into
the hen house, cautiously looking first
this and then that way. When satisfied
that it was not discovered, the dog went to
the nests and sucked all the eggs, taking
good care to carry off the shells in his
mouth, which it deposited into hole IN
the ground, and then scratched dirt on
them. Mr.. Borley had discovered the
thief. He at once put on his thinking cap
to devise a plan which would put stop to
further depredations by the canine. Go
ing info the house, be had an egg cooked
Calling the canine, he crammed the hot
egg into it's mouth, grabbed its jaws and
held them clossd for q moment. The dog
was never known after that to suck eggs
