From the New Orleans Times Democrat
How rapid progress the women of the south
are making In the matter of education is well
shown in the University of Mississippi 1t was but
a few years ago that this university was thrown
open TO girls, but in that time they ha We forced
themselves to the front, and this year they won
all the prizes. young lady has won
the first honOrS and will consequently be the
valedictorian. The senior class will be repre-
sented by a young lady among the speakers as
will also the juniors, while among the competi-
tors for the sophomore prize defamation is
still another OF 1.-THE fair sex" The experiment
tried at Oxford for admitting girls to the mi
versity with the same privileges as the male
students can therefore be pronounced success.

James Henry, of Rockaway, was married
thirteen years ago; but owing, it is alleged, to
the interference of her mother Mrs Henry left
her husband twelve years ago. Mr.. Henry says
he made a diligent search for his wife after
ward, but failed to find her. Mrs Henry turned
up last week in Brooklyn, and tried to have q
warrant issued for her husbands arrest on u
charge OF abandonment. She, however, fol-
lowed the advice of Justice Walsh, and called
on her husband, who, to her surprise, received
her with open arms and introduced her to his
friends as his lOng-lOSt wife.

AN INVENTION THAT PROMISES TO SUPPRESSED
THEN.

The Indianapolis Nescs says: Edwin Byrkit
of this city, has recently made and patented an
invention so wholly original and unlike any
thing applied to the same purpose, and so likely
to work a revolution in an important part of the
business of house building that it deserves no.
tice. Everybody knows that the old split oak
lath. and The later sawed pine lath, not only
allowed plaster to crack ii the corners OF walls
mortar, between the lathlng and the wall,
where 1T had fallen through the spaces of the
iaths, and this wet muck would frequently
warp the ''washboardS' nailed on the freshly
plastered wall, Mr.. Byrkit's invention dis
penses with laths altogether, does away with
the irregular and sprincy surface that Is so
hard to make the '.i;rst coat stick to, and al
drying. 1t is q sort OF ceiling of plank, tonsued
and erooved like n floor, each plank channeled
in the back TO prevent it from warping, and the
whole inner surface plOwed n half or three
quarters of an inch deep at intervals OF an inch
or two. the projecting tongues taking the place
of lath and doing its service far more cffeCtu
ally by being wider ut the surface than at
projecting edges, while the SOldid portion of the
plank keeps the mortar in place and prevents
its being forced through and lost In the hollow
OF the wall, rs in the old way. Less mortar is
needed for any room thus ceiled, and the solid
plank backing of the plaster secures it against
cracking, while the Tshaped tongues hold it
firmly against any disturbance that would
hliing certain vacant spaces in a solid plank
wall. The invention has been tried within
month or two, and found to work as perfectly
as WAS anticipated. As it costs less, or no more
than 1athing work, the probability is that it
will come into use speedily.

Indian Territory Lands.

The letter of ex-GOy. McCook, OF Colo
RADIO, to Secretary Lamar, in which some
rather startling facts respecting the lands
in the Indian Territory are given, is pretty
certain to attract the attention of the gov
eminent.
According to this letter it appears that
100000 acres Of the best land in the
Territory is in the hands of cattle COM
panies and spectators at the small
annual rental Of IL cents per acre. At
the rate At which the lands are passing
out Of the control Of the Indians it will
MOI be long before the Indians will be
without lands.
The loss of their lands, however, is not
more to be deplored than the presence in
the Territory OF a class of white men, the
agents and employees Of the cattle com
panies, who apparently leave no means
untried to demoralize the Indians and to
excite a feeling Of discomfort and dissatis-
faction among them.
A mistake was made when the cattle
companies were admitted into the Terri
tory. The Indians were living happily
and contentedly. There was no good rea-
son why the government should favor a
policy that could do the Indians no posi-
bic good and was certain to do them harm.
A few rich men, however, saw chance
to make money by renting lands in the
Indian Territory, and the rich generally
got what they wanted while the Republi-
cans had control OF the government.
1t has been said that several Senators
are among those who are interested in the
cattle companies, and that the companies
are so strongly intrenched in their posi-
tions that, if they are dislodged at all, it
will be with great difficulty. 1t would be
interesting TO know to what extent white
men are indirectly responsible for the
outrages which the Indians in the differ
! ent Territories have committed during
the last quarter of a century.
