Rev. d. L. Wilson and Mr.. Z. w.
Ewing represented the Pulaski
church. Mr.. Ewing was elected a
delegate to the general assembly,
which, is to be held at Houston,
Texas, next month. Mr.. Wilson,
in speaking to his congregation last
Sunday of the presbytery, mention
ed fact which reflects great credit
upon his church. He said that the
church at Pulaski had contributed
more money for carrying on
the business of the presbytery than
all the other churches in it's bounds
combined. He did not complain,
however, that this church had con
tributed too much.

Mr.. G. w. McGrew put about
two hundred carp in his fish ponds
last week and was to receive two
hundred more this week. He had
already in the ponds about two
hundred and fifty fish, besides the
spawns of one season. He has two
very pretty ponds, which are sup
piled with pure, clear water from
the cave spring, and with his pres
ent stock for a start they will soon
be perfectly alive with fish. He
has some very fine specimens now,
the largest of which are supposed
to weigh about eight pounds. The
writer had the pleasure of seeing
them the other day as they were
being fed and it was an exciting
scene when they exposed their
broad sides to the light of the sun.
The interest in fish culture is grow
ing rapidly in Giles. There are a
great many new ponds in the coun-
ty. In this immediate vicinity we

Sam Davis, the Nevada humorist and
editor of the Carson City New Appeal,
has a wide celebrity on the Pacific coast
for humorous writing. The large litho-
graph Of VIM. II. Gillette, who heads the
Madison Square theater Pirate Secretary
company that appeared here, seems to
have attracted Davis attention, for he
recently wrote respecting it:
"The oyer-life sized face Of the 'Pri-
vate Secretary that starcs ut everybody
from the Autograph sheets is one Of the
most peculiar physiognomies that was
ever seen. A man may be thinking Of
something when he happens to look NJ
and catches a glimpse Of those mournful,
beseechine eyes. One is apt to start, OF
feel n shudder run through them, as they
meet the dreadful face. Ii looks like the
face of a man who had lived on misery as
a steady dict all his life, and had taken
three square meals a day of it. If you
should meet such a face in the street YOU
would be tempted to kick the owner of
the sidewalk, and then rejecting a mo-
ment you would think you ought to give
him five dollars. The face is of an un.
fortunate outcast who has been a slave
and laekey all his life, drinking of mis-.
fortune and hard luck, who never claimed
his wi soul, and had only been taught to
look upon himself as a machine, to always
obey orders and draw his miserable pit.
lance at the end Of the month.
The Internal picture will make a man
have the blues for weeks, and some men
in town say they wake up in the night
and see those horrid, haunting eyes CLEAN
down upon them. If a great artist should
paint an allegonal picture Of Famine, he
could do no better than TO copy those eyes,
and after that he would not have to be
particular what he did with the rest OF the
figure. A drunken man saw the face last
night in Jack Mageo's saloon and invited
II into a restaurant to get a square meal ,

BALTIMORE, Md, July 1S.-Frederick
Burmeister, a well known wealthy Ger
mar restaurant proprietor, whose wife
committed suicide under peculiar circum-
stances, took his own life this morning
Deceased was 40 Year, OF age. He was OF
%tyrannous disposition, and frequently
abused his family when under the infu-
ence of liquor. About the LIST of last Dc

He then went home and assaulted his
wife. Shortly after she was found by Il

He Won't Do It Again.

ST. GAINESVILLE, o., July 1s.-John
Oglevee, a miner. was picking wild rasp-
berries on Frank Boggs' farm, two miles
northeast of town, this afternoon. He
caught sight of a snake, and, supposing
it to be harmless, seized it by the tail.
1t was a copperhead, nearly a yard long,
and its fangs were suddenly sunk into his
left thumb. Oglevee mounted a horse
and hastily came to town. On his way
he sucked the wound and foolishly swal-
lowed this poisoned saliva. Upon arrival
here, Ogelvee received prompt medical at
tention and a quart of good whisky, which
he drank as an antidote. He will re-
cover.

were exchanged before Oakley fired on
Smith. Before Smith could return the
fire he was shot dead in his tracks. Mute

take part, firing at Oakley, when he was

be altogether sorry as / have since
had an opportunity Of learning the
opinion OF the leading Church clergy
man of the island on the subject. And
my remarks are rot TOO late, if you
care to insert them in your paper, as
the Commissioners appointed by the
Governor are still busy with their
work.
First let me take your w remarks
and comment upon them srriatim
It is certainly possible, that a sys.
tenn of Compulsory Education may
be advisable in one Presidency and
not in another or ever in one part Of
the same. But still there seems to be
no great difficult in framing an Act
which will meet the requirements of
all Presidencies. In fact whatever
Act we have it must make allowances
for the circumstances OF different
Presidencies, which vary so much.
You seem to draw contradictory de-
auctions from one fact ; for in one place
you say that the Inspector General Of
Schools is more capable than any one
else to report on the subject. While
in another place you say as "a matter
of fact there never has been any in
spection of the Schoolsin the Leeward
Islands. That there has not been an
Inspector of Scho0Is-there certainly
has been an Examiner OfSchools called
by the Government "InSpector Gene
raj of SchOoI s." The inference here
seems to be that the so called Inspec-
tor General of Schools is NOT the
most competent person to report on
the subject. Probably he knows very
little about the Schools beyond what
Ome under his eyes on the ExamIn-
alton Day. And the tale which that
day tells is very often q very false
tale of the state, discipline, efficiency
or even numerical standing OF some
schools.
You certainly hit the right nail on
the head when you say there ought
to be a system of closer inspection.
1t would be a simple system to make
our Local Boards, which are at present
Local Boards of Health and Parochi-
al Boards, to be also Local School
Boards. And let it be the duty of the
Local Board to visit every school in
the Parish orDistrict and report there
on to some Central Board.
| maintain that Elementary Edu-
cation is the business, not of religious
bodies, but of the Government. Every
civilized Government has recognized
this obligation. Germany has had
her system of Government Schools
for many years: and so too have
other countries. England woke up
TO the fact more recently, and although
the Church of England is still an en-
dowed Church, the burden Of sup
porting Schools is no longer forced
upon her. 1t is hard for disendowed
bodies like the Church of England
in these islands, the WesIeyans, and
Moravians to have to support or even
partially support Schools. When by
Government the Church was discs
tohliShod in khoSo ;sionfs sbo CobooIS
