There were about one hundred persons at
Mrs Woodworths meeting last night, with no
special manifestations of any kind to chronicle.
II was to large extent an experience meeting,
and short talks were made by a dozen or more
persons, among them blacksmith King, who
made feeling allusion to his many falls from a
correct life, declaring he now belonged to the
Lord and bidding an eternal farewell to the saloons
which had been the cause of his degradation.

INDIANA EDUCATORS.
Discussion of Questions Relating to Educa-
tiOnal Work by the College Association.

The Indiana College Association met yester-
day afternoon in the Denison House parlors.
There were seventy five members present. max
ing it the largest meeting of the association
that has ever been held. w. w. Parsons pres-
dent of the Normal School at Terre Haute, read
the first paper of the session, 1.-The Relation of
the Normal School to the College" The second
paper was read by Prof. Joseph Swain, Univer-
sity of Indiana, his subject being 1.-THE Edin
burgh University" President L. 6. Hay,
Coates College. Terre Haute. read an interesting
paper on THE Sanscrit Language and Litera-
ture, and Prof VIM. NJ. Thrasher, Butler Uni
versity, one entitled 'Some Recent Discussions
in Celestial Physics" President w. T. Stott,
sons, of the State Normal School, were ap
pointed an auditing committee, and Messrs. Mar
tin, Mills, and McTaggart committee on nomi-
nation of officers.
In the evening the president of the associa-
ton, President ID. s. Jordan, of Indiana Uni.
versity. delivered the annual address, his theme
being 1.-THE Evolution of the College Curricu
lum." The address was an exceedingly able one,
and was listened to with the closest attention.
The orator favored the elective system in the
choice OF studies, and thought the tendency Of
college education was rather to superficial
Enlistment than to substantial learning. He
thought a few things learned were better than
smatrering of many things. He thought college
degrees B. A., NJ A, and Phi. d. of little value,
and that it would not be many years before the
colleges would cease to confer them as they now
do He suggested that too many institutions
were called colleges which were little more than
high-schools, and that the even more pretentious
name of university was much misapplied.
Prof. VIM. p. Trueblood, Earlham College,

Our Colleges" which was we'll received The

The mullen is much used in Ire
land as popular medicine in the
treatment OF phthisis. 1t is said to
increase, the bodily weight and to
relieve cough and dospnea. 1t is
employed by the people In the form
of decoction. The leaves are also
smoked in pipes and cigarettes for
the relief of asthma and bronchitis.
In this connection its value may be
greatly enhanced by the admlxture
of some leaves of coca. If combin-
ed with cubebs and smoked, exhal-
ing the smoke through the nose
gives almost immediate relief in
acute catarrh, checking the Watery
secretion and allaying the smarting,

seems necessary.

TbeyAgrioultural Wheel.


The agricultural wheel is an er-
ganization springing up very rapid
" in many of the West Tennessee
counties. 1t is an organization
cotton up exclusively and by and
for the benefit of the farming class,
and no man who is not an actual
tiIler of the soil can become 8 mem
Ger. Its constitution forbids any
wheel being organized in any cor
pcration, town, village or city. BY
reading the following preamble to
the constitution, one can get some
idea of its doctrine and what it pro-
poses to do:
THE general condition of our
country imperatiVely demands uni
ty of action on the part of the Ia
boring classes, information in econ
omy, and the dissemination of prin-
ciples best calculated tc encourage
and foster agricultural and methan
ical pursuits, encouraging the toll
ing masses, leading in the ex.
change of our commodities,
and the best mode and means of Sc
curing to the laboring classes the
greatest amount of good."
We hold to the principle that all
farmersz should save their meat
and bread, raise more corn, wheat,
oats and grasses, and less cotton,
so as to increase the demand far be
yond the actual supply, securing
better prices and holding the stock
of provisions from the greedy paws
of merciless spectators.
We hold to the principle that all
monopolies are dangerous 70 III. Tie
best interests of our country, tend
ing to enslave a free people and
subVert and finally overthrow the
great principle purchased by
Washington and his glorious COM
patriots.
| We hold to the principle that the
laboring classes have an inherent
right to sell and buy when and
wherever their interests are best
subserved, and patronlze none who
dare-by word or action oppose a
lust. fair and equitable exchange Of
the products of our labor.
"We denounce as unjust and IN
fair any set of men Who sell al
large profits to gain advantage over
the laboring classes and obtain the
product of their labor at greatly re-
duced prices, thus forcing patron
age and constituting hateful mo
nopoly, making free and independ-
ent men slaves"
The following IL the object OF the
order as put down in the cons'itu-
ton:
1.-THE object of the order shall be
to unite fraternally all acceptable
white males who are engaged in ths
occupation of farming, also all me
chauics who shall be actually en-
gagged in farming"

Dixon D. Williams.

z 1t is the business of the press to
notice any marked feature which
may appear in the community,
whether of social or religions
character. The person named at
the head of this article, dropped
down upon US last Wednesday
evening and has captured the
thought OF sthe community. We
have been in attendance at some of
his meetings, to learn, if we might,
the source of his strength. His
first congregation came naturally
from the press notices OF bis com
ing, but when in the midst of the
storm our largest church was insult
ficient, and when hundreds of peo-
pie were brought through such pour
ing rain and muddy streets as we
had on Saturday and Sunday
nights, there must be some especial
attraction.
In the first place, az intense earn
estness, which always wins the adj
miration of the people, is his to a
remarkable degree, without let
up from first TO last; whether in
prayer, address or song, Williams is
in dead earnest.
The next feature that impresses
US is his scholarship; his disconrses
are fresh with thought, very modi-
fed, concise, and this with him is
remarks BILE from two standpoints.
He is but twenty seven years old
and has been preaching but ten
months; true he has had the best of
early advantages, as we learn from
our esteemed citizen John r. Jones,
who was his class mate in college.
This may be explained for his hab
its of industry; save when necessa-
ry for rest, we are told that he sell
dom sees an idle moment; he is a
great reader and incessant in
thought.
Another secret of his success in
drawing an audience is his keen,
quick sense. He reads the charac-
ter of a people at once and takes in
at a glance the character of an au-
dience. He had not been with us
long before he felt obliged to speak
of the superior intelligence OF our
people, and at once adapted him self
by delivering thoughtful discourses.
We have seldom listened to q dis
course where so much original
thought had been given as in his
sernon Sunday msrning. But
another quality possessed by Will
liams, and without which success is
hardly to be expected, is his pure
devotion. We have been informed
that he surrendered n very lucra-
tive business position to take up,
for conscience sake, the work to
which he is to devote himself, and it
is conscientious devotion to work
that wins every where. He is pecn-
liar and eccentric. This reveals his
From his service
last night he seems to have q fund
of humorous Incidents on hand to
illustrate the phases OF truth which
he represents. If men can be made
better we say amen! And if Will
