A Classic Village.

EDITOR CLARION: Nestled among
stately oaks in the southern part of
Amite county, Miss is situated the
classic little village Of Gillsburg. A
few years ago this was an old deserted
farm, but through the energy and per-
severance of our worthy citizen, Mr. w.
A Gill, quite 4 little town has sprung
up, and a fine school.
TO one acquainted with the place of
old, it now seems like an oasis in a
desert. Your correspondent, impelled
by desire to see and learn, visited this
little village on the night of the 10th
inst, this being the anniversary of the
Hyacinthian Society. Quite an intelli-
gent audience had already assembled 10
do honor to the occasion. The exercises
consisted of vocal and instrumental
music, recitations and orations. The
young men acquitted themselves ad-
mirab!y, and all expressed themselves as
being highly entertained. The Society
was presented with a beautiful banner,
the work of Miss Ida Gill. Already
this growing institution of learning is
being felt throughout this and other
States. With a well equipped faculty
and healthy location, | see no reason
why this school cannot become one
among the best in the State. South
Mississippi has long felt the need OF
good schools. and has many re sons 10
be proud of this one. Xxx.

Periis OF the City Baby.

The question arises, What is it in
cities that is 50 hostile Ia infant life?
The subject is a complex one, and in
its analysis we must consider the vary
ing conditions surrounding the differ
ent classes Distinctions of rank are as
definitely marked among infants as
among adults There is none of the
democracy which obtains in the coun-
try. We have the infant of aristocracy,

environment peculiar To itself; its house,
its nursery and sleeping apartment, its
nurses and attendants. who solve the
problems of its food and raiment.
Take the matter of Inheritance. not of
money or lands, but of constitution.
The extreme classes found in the city
and not in the country, the very wealthy
and the very poor, are likely To beStow
on their offspring a latent tendency 10
disease. The ultra-fashionable mother.
the self-indulgent father hand down TO
their children overwrought nervous sys-
tens and weak physical powers, which
result in early death. or more often "a
life of protracted feebleness. In the
the children of poverty, intemperance,
and moral obliquity are incalculable.
The city infants belonging to the middle
classes often suffer because of the strug-
gle of their parents to maintain a foot
hold in society. and to mount the steps
in social life which will bring them to
distinction. 1t would be a long discus
sion to enter into all the questions of
heredity which influence TO fate of
child. They are vital questions. how
ever, which require the utmost delicacy
in handling, bat which are of tran
sccnding Importance 10 the individual
and to the race. Very little of the COM

and rearing choice stock exists in rela-

Cooped Up in a Coffin.

In village not far from Boston an
attempt was recently made to reform by
fright genial old chap who was so
strongly lin love with his cups" as TO
be habitually full. Friends had labored
with the erring brother in vain. and in
despair he was left for any one to re-

thy chose. A number of young larks
in the town decided to try the expert
ment of fright.
One warm summer afternoon the old
fellow got as full as tick. when the
committee on reform procured coffin
from an undertaken and placed the
soggy topper inside, with the lid turned
back to give him air. and conveyed him to
the churchyard cemetery, where, con-
ce.i.., behind the shrubbery, they await
