Charges that Must be Met.

From the Little Rock Gazette.
The subjoined appears IN the Tex
arkana Independent as commuica-
ton:
Mr.. EDITOR: Everyone in Fayette.
vile believes that the collegians
were drunk who so shamefully treat
ed young Taft, the marshal, last win
ter. They were acquitted by the
faculty both Of drunkenness and as
sault. The late president charges
in The Little Rock Gazette that
portion of the faculty took part with
the rioters against the maltreated
student. There are two things that
look that way. 1t is known that
Gen. Hill proposed to his faculty
that the case be submitted TO the
executive committee Of the trustees.
Saying that the brother of one of the
professors being one of the accused
and other accused who were the
special friends of certain professors,
the trial would elicit too much feel
ing.
But the faculty insisted upon try
ing the case themselves. ait was a
court organized to acquit," said a
prominent lawyer Of Fayetteville.
I'd. II the trial was fair, why did
these professors and their special
champion ID the board resist re
hearing of the case by the trustees?
Col. Gunter declared that decision
by the faculty must be finality.
Who ever heard of such doctrine
before? What is the use of a board
if it has no supervision over the
facnltyY FAYETTEvILLE.
Gen. Hill made certain charges
that cannot be ignored. The peo
pie of the state, whose money sus-
talns the university, are becoming
anxious to learn the ''bottom facts"
relating to the management of that
institution during the past ten years.
The one fact apparent to the public
is that the work OF building up
university in which the state could
feel pride has not yet been per
formed. The Gazette does not dc
sire to strike at any one. 1t does
not wish TO add to the present en-
barrassmcnts. But the facts are de
sired, and must come out.

PRICE FIVE CENTS.
True wonanhood.
AN ESSAY READ AT THE CLOSE OF GUM
LOG PUBLIC SCHOOL, FEB. IL, 1883.

In order to come 10 womanhood
We shall go back to childhood. In
regard to the mental education Of
girls. the laying OF the foundation Of
true womanhood, is the duty Of the
parents. There is little probability
of a vain, selfish, and thought!ess
girl becoming true woman in the
fullest sense. 1t requires great firm
ness, self control, yeneration and
benevolence.
Firmness gives tenacity Of mind
and feeling, while self control Will
enable her to adhere to that only
which is good, and essential to trne
womanhood.
Neneration is the foundation OF
The sentiment of piety or re- igiop,
snd that tendency to worship a SUI
pcrier power, and produce an emo
ton leading to respect whatever is
great or good. Benevolehce creates
a desire for the happiness of others;
willie she is happy in aiding others.
Thus true benevolent woman is
happy herself and also are all around
her. But, true womanhood cannot
exist without true, sound character
and nobility of soul. Character is
the foundation upon which to build
everything else and should be laid
firmly ami with care. One of the
noblest things of earth is true
woman. True to herself; true TO those
around her; true to her relations in
life and last but not least TRUE TO
HER COP. A true, noble, generous
woman, ready to help in every good
work, to forget self, for the good of
others, to raise the fallen, and sup
port the weak is not to be despised
II she were not the better half OF
creation, she could not still be deem
ed worthy of alteration by the other
half. Religion, therefore, is nec-
essary and indispensable element in
any great human character. There
is no living without it. Religion is
the tie that connects woman with
her Creator, and holds her to His
throne. To attain to the highest
standard of true womanhood We
must practice all the virtues and
graces of life, and abhor all vices and
everything that is degrading IN its
nature or that would cause any one
sorrow.
A true woman will never nnncces-
sarlly wound the feeling OF any one.
And she values the truth above eve
rything else, and believes the truth
which makes her free, and seeks that
wisdom which comes from above:
And brings her will under subjec-
tion and is ready at all times to say,
not my Will, but the will Of the Lord
be done. Woman has tact, is sagac-
ious, shrewd, makes the most of eve
rything, accomplishes her ends with
out tools, soitens, hardens and breaks
hearts without instruments, conquers
without fighting, kills without she'd
ding blood, rules without showing
authority, guides without taking the
lead, cenquers nati0as without draw
ing the sword, rules them without
swaying the sceptre She is the es-
sence of talent and power, she allows
man to hold the relns, but shows him
the way to go. She is the climax of
creation, the perfection of all that
has gone before her, "She sticketh
closer than a brother, is a friend, IN
deed. in time of need," and therefore,
an angel Of mercy.

LOST IN THE Focc.
Thrilling Experience of a aoboken
Ferry Boat.
She coIIides with a cunard Line
Steamer and Panic Ensues.

HUNTER's POINT, L. l., Oct. 2S.-One OF
the densest fogs ever experienced hung over
Long Island Sound this morning, and the
steamers Pilgrim, Nashua, City of Boston,
Idlewild and others were detained at White
stone. Their passengers were taken to tlie
village in a small boat and continued thelr
journey to New York by rail. Navigation
in Newtown Creek was stopped until ~
o'clock and hundreds of people from all
parts of Long Island were compelled to go
to Brooklyn to reach New York by way OIL
the bridge as but one ferry boat was running
tSp to 8 o'clock.
New YORK, Oct. pa dense fog prevail
ed in and around the city this morning, inn
peding travel on the railways and nayiga-
ton on both rivers to a great extent. The
first mishap reported on account of the fog
was collision on the North River. This
morning the steamer Hackensack of the
Hoboken Ferry Line, while on her trip to
this city, came into collision with the ocean
steamer Servia. The bow of the ferry boat
was carried away and great panic prevailed
on both vessels The extent of the damage
has not yet been learned.
The collision occurred off Pier AS, and, in
his freight, John Malloy, a sailor on the
Servia, jumped overheard and was drowned.
His body was recovered Several other
people jumped overheard, but were rescued.
A gentleman who was passenger on the
ferry boat Hackensaek this morning says;
The ferry boat left Hoboken at GAO and
started for this city. The fog on the river
was very thick and a person could not dis
cover objects 10 feet distant In consequence
of the delay caused by the fog the boat was
jammed with passengers. AS is usual on
foggy days a chain breast high was stretched
across the bow from cabin to cabin, and
nearly all the passengers were on the bow IN
front of and behind this chain. We had
been on the river for perhaps twenty minutes
when it became evident that the pilot was
lost and did not know where the ship was
We were going at half speed when suddenly
there loomed up in the mist not five feet
away the warehouse on the Cunard steam
ship pier at the foot of Clarkson street and
the steamer Servia was in her berth. The
Hackensack could not be stopped and forg-
ing ahead struck the Servia's bow with ter
rife force. Ten feet of the Hackensack's
bow was carried away and there ensned such
a panic as never saw before. We were
jammed back against the chain, knocked
down and tramped ON. Women tainted,
men yelled with terror and jumped for life
preseryers. The Hackensack at last backed
down and at 7.35 succeeded in making Bar
clay street. Many persons must have been
seriously injured.

STORM AND FAMINE
Further Reports of Destitution on
the Coast of Labrador.
A Hard Outlook for the Coming
Winter.

ST. JOHNS, n. F., Oct. 28.-The barkentine
Nellie has Just arrived here with two hum
dred and sixty shipwrecked men, women and
children who were rescued from disaster.
Several woman died from exposure, and 9TH
ers were drowned Over 1000 people are des-
titute and stranded on the coast. Five steam
ers have been despatched to their assistance.
The worst is not yet known.
QUEBEC, Oct. 2S.-Steamship Canada
which has just returned from her seasons
cruise in the Gulf reports considerable dis
tress ON the Labrador coast owing to the
failure of the fisheries. AT Esquimaux
Point out of population of $50 families only
20 have supplies for the winter and thirty
more have to get enough from merchants
who usually make advances to them to pull
them through. The remaining 100 families
have nothing whatever with which to face
the winter, and it will be necessary either to
bring them off the coast or to send supplies
to them. The commander is of the opinion
that these people should be brought off the
coast as it is useless to send supplies season
after season. The fact is that there are too
many people on the coast of Labrador. The
failure of the fisheries was due to the action
of the ice in the spring and the fall fishing
has been poor all over the Gulf owing to
rough weather. Prices for all kinds of fish
are low. Crops ON the south coast in the
counties of Gaspe and Bonaventure are
abundant. Four destitute families were
brought from Labrador by the Canada.
These have been cared for and sent out west.
They were all vaccinated.
