To supply a growing need for high
class academy for young men in this
city, meeting was held a short time
since at the Texas National Bank, with
Mr.. j. S. Alexander in the chair.
Matters we're fully discussed and COM
mittees we're appointed for the purpose
of raising fund, presenting plan for
an academy and securing the services of
a thoroughly qualified principal.
Sufficient encouragement has been
received and permanent organization
has been effected by the election of the
following Board of Trustees

Charles Hugo, s. t. Lowry, MD,

der, President; Sam Maverick, Trea-
surer; James Duryee Stevenson, Secre-
tary; Messrs. Patterson, Hugo, Frank,

cure suitable location tor the school.
On April "a said committee reported,

public, through the press, a statement Of
the purposes and scope of the academy,
and to notify Prof. w. b. Seeley, late
classical master in the Newark Acad-
envy, Newark, N. j., Of his election to
the principalship. The latter has been
done, and Prof. Seeley has accepted the
position. The general scope and pur-
pose of the academy Is as follows: 1t
proposes to offer thorough, systematic
course Of training, based on modern
educational methods, by which the
youth Of this city, and others who may
enroll themselves as students, shall be
thoroughly prepared for college, for
scientific schools, or for business life.
The werk of the school shall be divided
into three departments, known as the
primary, the intermediate and the
academic.
The primary department prepares for
the higher classes, so that a boy may be-
gin his school life in the academy and re-
main there till ready for college. The
academic department shall be divided
into two courses, the classical and the
scientific. The instruction In the clas-
steal course shall fit the pupil for the
Freshman class OF our best colleges and
universities. The instruction in the
scientific course shall be designed to i'm
part thorough knowledge Of the higher
branches of an English education, and

Mr.. Secley devoted himself TO teaching as u

great credit to him. ] remember how they
surprised Professor Sloane, of Princeton, by

said to the writer the other day:

large numbers of men pay literally to-
ward the support of temperance socie-
ties. 1t is safe investment,
1t is asserted that the balance of po-
litical power is held by the temperance
element in Texas, Arkansas, and
Georgia. In Missouri temperance is
strong in the small towns.
Ex-Gov. Dingley, of Maine, is respon-
sible for the assertion that on an aver
age each inhabitant of the United States,
outside of Maine, drinks S15 worth of
alcoholic stimulants every year. In
fourteen states of the union there are
laws which demand that the effects of
alcohol upon the system shall be taught
to children. "A graded system of text
books is now ready representing five
ject. Between thirty and forty differ
ent works on physiology, with special
reference to alcohol and other stimu-
ulants, for school use, have been issued.
Both England and America lay claim
to the honor of starting the fist total alb
stinence society. The English claim is
founded upon the fact that in 1882 So
ciety at Preston, England, adopted the
principles of total abstinence. 1t is also
declared by this society that the word
teetotal originated with them in this
way: Dickey Turney, stammcring
farmer, referring to a moderation
pledge which had been in use, said
IN have nowt to do wi this bothera-
ton moderation pledge. I'll be right
down tee-tee-total forever" In !. letter
dated Troy, Pa, Sept. 10, 1885. Rev.
Joel Jewell disputed both these claims.
He says that in 1927 he was secretary
of a temperance society in Hector, N.
Y, whose constitution included total
abstinence clause. In writing the names
of members on the roll he prefxed the
letters o. p. to the names OF those who
adhered to the old pledge and big T
to those who were total abstainers.
"By continually explaining that I was
for total" he says, 1--WE were directly
called T-totalers. and this was the ori-
gin of the word, years before it was
coined in England. F"

The New York STOCK Exchange.

The New York Stock Exchange.
II was recently mentioned in several
journals as O matter to be deplored by
the people of that State that the bonds
Of Georgia had been refused q place on
the list Of the New York Stock Bx-
change. An article by JOHN +. HUME,
Esq, in the October No. of The Forum
will disabuse every mind Of the i'm
preston thus sought to be made upon
it. Mr.. HUME says the list is a list oil
acknowledgements up in a good
degree Of the noble army oil
frauds. All watered stocks are
there all stocks in which there is much
room for speculation all stocks which
it is desirable to put off on innocent
purchasers all stocks owned by men
who shear " the lambs "; oil stocks oil
bad character, in q word. But the
Baltimore and Ohio is not there; nor
the Pennsylvania; nor a number Of
others which Mr.. HUME names.
Mr.. HUME possibly exsggerates
somewhat 4; yet after all due allowance
is made for that fact, it remains indu-
bitably true that to list stock in the
New York Exchange is not to make it
good stock, nor to insure . high price
for it. According to Mr.. HUME, the
best stocks are not there.

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. %, 1856.
Well, that's a good joke on US. We
have been for years protesting against
the silly regulation Of the Post-Ofiice
Department which requires letters to be
sent to Washington which are addressed
to a place as well-known by the name
in the address as by the post-ofiice
name, and now we are charged with be.
ing the asthor of that unwise regula-
ton. 1t is toe bad but we have been
credited by at least one Virginia paper
with the law requiring postage on pa
pers to be charged by the pound and
not by the letter. So we are ahead yet.
Yes; the regulations of the Post
Office Department are just as "M."
states them. But we object most de-
cidedly to being held responsible for a
regulation which we have for so many
years been endesvOring to have abOl-
ished.

AS the wanderer happened to be in
St. Louis, visited the headquarters Of
the Virginia Knights, at st. James Ho-
tel, on Tuesday, met number Of our
Virginia boys from Richmond, Lynch
burg, Norfolk, and three 70 my
(StauntOnl home-boys. To-day when
the procession of at least 35, 900 in line
passed on Fourth street, where l sat,
with a few st. Louis friends, in the crowd,
as the Virginia delegation passed, one
enthusiastic old Virginian cried out,
"0ld Virginia never tire" The cheers
rent the air. Just at that point every
Virginia Sir knight took off his hat,
laid it on bis left shoulder, and dropped
his head, returning the salute. That
was the only command that acknow-
lodged the salute. 1t is q beautiful day,
and not less than 100000 witnessed the
procession, which was grand.

Nothing is easier than, having COM
puted the number Of workers for wages
in any community, to estimate what an
enormous force their votes would con-
stitute. If these votes could be cast
together it would be fortunate thing
for the politicians who were able to
concentrate them. But 1t would be one
of the most disastrous things that could
beiall any community. To array the
class Of workers for wages against their
employers and neighbors, and to use
their votes for the sole and avowed
purpose of lettering their condition at
the expense of the rest Of the commu-
nity, is as grave a crime against society
as any man could commit. York
Times.
A timely warning. Whoever does
aught to divide the community into
classes takes upon himself fearful re-
sponsibility. So also he who, feeling
or fearing that the community has al
ready been so divided, undertakes tc
perpetuate that division by unwise poll
cies Of any sort, is guilty of grave in
discretion and misjudgment, to say tn
least. The healing Of these differences
should be assigned to wisdom, expert
ence, q conciliatory spirit, and the ca
pacity to look upon both the gold AM
silver sides Of the shield before begin

The Providence Journal has over
looked the interrogatory which we last
week respectfully put to that paper.
We therefore repeat it, and ask special
attention to it. Can silver dollars fall
in price below gold dollars, even as
much as 2 per cent. so long as silver
dollars are transmitted into gold at the
custom.houses and internAl.revenue
offices of the country? Fiat money and
money made good by the fact that il
will pay any tax that gold dollars will
pay are not one and the same thing.
