cause believe that there Is nothing to say
about it but what VIII give unmixe ed
pleasure TO its friends. Leaving details
for future letters, | must content myself
now with the general statement that the af-
fairs of the University are in excellent
working-order. That was indeed heavy
gale that swept her sails and tried her tim
bers last Summer but the old ship has
righted herself, and now. with canvass full
and ropes all tight, she is moving steadily
forward, toward the accomplishm ent, let
us hope, of worthy destiny. No school,
public or private, in Mississippi, can boast
of better order, or more constant habits of
study among Its students, or more of that
which the French call Peatente cordiate, be-
tween faculty and students.
On the morning before Thanksgiving
Day, the Professor who had the charge of
chapel services, before Diminishing the stu
dents said to them in substance: 81 wish to
detain you a moment, to say few words
which | am sure you will be as glad to

asked lately by many persons, represent
ing different parts OF the State, how the
boys are doing in the University this year;
and my answer has always been that they
are doing excellent work and behaving
beautifully. But tomorrow, young men,
Is your first holiday this session, and your
first special temptation to dissipation and
| am sure that speak for every
member OF the faculty when / beg you to
see to it, that while, on the one hand, you
give thanks to God for His great blessings
upon US all, on the other you do nothing
to discredit the University, or to unfit you
for taking up your work on Friday just
where you leave it to-day" We have
heard of questionable conduct elsewhere,
but here the day was observed decorousIy,
and on Friday the boys pressed the har-
ness with about their usual vigor
Up to date there has been no case of DIS

Of the University has been excellent. On

Pompey Higgins bought a ticket at
Vicksburg from the Louisville, New
Orleans and Texas Railroad Company.
he boarded freight train of the COM
pany and was carried nearly three
fourths of mile beyond the usual stop
ping place at Warrenton. He requested
the conductor to back the train to War
renton, which the conductor, in harsh
manner, refused to do. Higgins then
got out and walked back, the night
being dark and rainy, and the place
where he got out wet and muddy. He
then brought this action against the
railroad company, alleging that the de
PENDANT "wilfully and wrongfully refused
to back said train to said station" The
jury found for the plaintiff and assessed
the damages at five hundred dollars.
The defendant appealed.

the Court.
The recovery of $500 is not an undue
punishment of the appellant for the
