rial desolation, are ideas inseparable
from such training. Far be 1t from the
writer to depreciate, or under-rate
the importance and value OF accom-
plished military leaders, especially dur
ing these restless and unsettled centur-
les through which we are now passing
when war may burst upon a peaceful
people without warning; or when riot
ers, socialists and foreign barbarians
may plunge peaceful city into the
horrors Of murder, and incendiarism at
any moment. But called upon as / am
to comment upon the general topic Of
college and university discipline, I do
not hesitate to record my opinion that
the school for training soldiers and the
school for training the citizens of a
country require two different kinds OF
discipline. Let our academies at West
Point and Annapolis be sustained, and
let them continue to be governed by
force and machinery, and train sufi-
cient proportion Of our youth to mill
tary skill and precision, but l do ear
nestly deprecate the idea OF controlling
the students OF our schools Of the arts,
and letters and sciences Of civilized and
citizen life by force and mere military CO.
ercion. Let military schools exist since
war seems a necessary evil, and let us
have military discipline for these mill
taiy schools. But the genius of our
sreat government is imbued with the
spirit OF peace, and union and progress,
md let us therefore see to it that our
young men who atter.l institutions
where the sciences and humanities,
and arts Of civil life are taught, shall en-
joy training and government adapt
ed to their preparation for an enlight-
ened citizenship among Christian men,
and for filing successfully the places OF
power and influence, demanded by the
country, and by our people, which are
soon to be vacated by the jurists,
statesmen, teachers, physicians, plan
ters and ministers of these passing gen.
erations. w.

DoAK'S DISH OF CROW.
The Way the lrrepressible Ayalan chean
Reconciles HimseIfto Bob Taylor.
Memphis Avalanche.

And, after all, while Bob was not our
choice, his fiddling is good. There
isn't much OF his political career and
record, what there is of it was brilliant
ly executed, animated and spirituelle.
In anecdotal translation Of Republican
foes he is unsurpassed.
Speaking ofanecdotes we are remind
ed of one expressive of the feelings OF
at least part OF the Democratic family
after the birth of Bob in convention.
There was a man little off in his
mind, who conceived himself to be in
a most impossible condition. His
friends demonstrated with him and rid
iculed the absurd hallucination. He
swore that there could be nodoubt OF it.
They told him he was a man. He said
he was aware OF that objection. 1t was
PLAUSIBLE and generally insurmounta-
Bile, but he knew what he was talking
about. A doctor was called who deter
mined to humor his strange delusion
The doctor told him he was right and
his friends were wrong and assigned
the exact day. AT the appointed time
the doctor came with a grounding he
had procured for the occasion.
Without wearying the reader with
technical details it is sufficient to say
that the doctor announced that all was
safely over, the patient 'Has we'll al
could be expected" and the child doing
we'll. The sufferer expressed an instan
desire to see it.
Here it is" said the doctor present
ing the grounding nicely done up il
lace and linin.
The patient looked at it fondly bu
with a solemn face, and said with
sigh:
FGod knows you are ugly. But the
Lord knows your nanny loves you.
The Lord knows the Democrati
party loves Bob.
And after all, Bob isn't as ugly as h
looked few days ago through othe
preferences and a belief still enter
tained, that his is not the wisest posi-
BILE nomination. We have already dis
covered political virtues we had neve
dreamed of before.

jeff Davis and Fairview.

The following is an extract from an
article in the August number of the
Southern Bivouac, by Col. E. Polk
johnson, of Louisville
"Then followed rapid inquiries after
the health and welfare OF old friends in
Kentucky, during which the marvellous
memory OF the man was shown. Call
ing them by their baps;smal names, he
would ask after the children of his for
mer friends whom he had not seen for
years when he was most familiar with
Kentucky. He appears to have re-
markable memory for names. Relat-
ing an incident connected with his not
very remote visit to his birth place, at
Fairview, in Todd county, KY, he gave
happy illustration Of this faculty. He
said that at the old-fashioned barbecue
given in his honor during the visit,
much attention was shown him by cer-
tain elderly ladies OF the neighborhood
which he had left when boy OF eight
years. One lady was especially atten-
tive and anxious that no one OF the Vi
ands should fail to reach the guest. AS
the dinner progressed, his mind revert.
ed to his boyhood days, and he recalled
a sunny-faced little girl whom he had
called his sweetheart at the mature age
of eight years, she being perhaps year
younger, So he asked the lady. ''What
became of Patty Bell p A flush OF graf
ifed pride swept over the dear old la
dy's face as she responded: "Why
Mr.. Davis, I'm Patty Bell" Not tht
honors won on the field in Mexico, thu
civic crown earned in the Senate, no
the high duties of proud presidenc.
had driven from his mind the name 0
a little loved one, though time with
merciless hand had carved strange line
upon her face when they two met again
upon the declining slope Of life."

To a Man Who Would Marry.
Select the girl.

Select the girl.
Agree with the girls father in poli-
tics and the mother in religion.
II you have a rival keep an eye on
him; il he is widower keep two eyes
on him.
Don't put much sweet stuff on paper.
IL you do you will hear it read in after
years, when your wife has some espec-
ial purpose in indicting upon you the
severest punishment known TO a man.
Go home at reasonable hour in the
evening. Don't wait until the girl has
to throw her whole soul into yawn
that she can't cover with both hands.
A little thing like that might cause
coldness at the very beginning OF the
game.
II, on the occasion OF your first call,
the girl upon whom you have placed
your young affections looks like an ice
berg and acts like cold wave, take
your leave early and stay away. Woman
in her hours of freeze is uncertain, coy,
and hard to please.
In cold weather finish saying good
night in the house. Don't stretch it all
TO the front gate and thus lay the foun-
dation for future asthma, bronchitis,
neuralgia and chronic catarrh to help
you worry the girl to death, after she
has married you.
II you sit down on some molases
candy that little Willie has left on the
chair, while wearing your new summer
trousers Tor the first time, smile sweetly
and remark that you don't mind sitting
down on molasses candy at all, and that
"boys will be boys.' Reserve your
true feeling for future reference.

A KISS THAT'S QUICK.
There's great deal Of bliss in a lingering

There's great deal of bliss in lingering
kiss,
And oceans of solid rapture;
There are lots OF fun in a stolen one
lfyou're clever about the capture.
The cutest trick In u kiss that's quick
Is to put II where IL belongs
To sec that IL goes below the nose
And knocks ut the gate of songs.
A kiss that is cold may do for the old,
Or pass with near relation;
But one like that Is a work-that's fat
OF supererogation.
II you're going to kiss be sure of this
That the girl has got some heart In her
wouldn't give darn for the full OF q barn
Ofkisses without partner.
The point of this rhyme is to take your
time,
Kiss slowly, and do 1t neatly;
If you do the thing right and are halfway
bright,
You can win her sweet heart completely.

81 T.-GReYsToSE, AUGUST 4rII, 1855.
Once more, all-adjusting death,
The nations Pantheon opens wide;
Once more q common sorrow saith
A strong, wise man hath died.
Faults doubtless had he, had we not
Our own, To question and asperse
The worth we doubted or forgot
Until we stood beside his hearse?
Ambitious, cautious, yet the man
TO strike down fraud with resolute
hand,
A patriot, II partisan,
lie loved his native land.
So let the mourning bells be rung,
The banner droop Its folds half way,
And let the public pen and tongue
Their fitting tribute pay.
Then let us vow above his bier
To set our feet ON party lies,
And wound no more a living ear
With words that death denies.

To have fresh eggs the year round,
Keep hens that will lay them fresh every
day. To prevent fresh eggs from spoil
ing on your hands. cat them Or sell to
some one else. We make no extra charge
for these two valuable hints. The usual
inquiries about preserving eggs for sew
cral months have arrived with the return
Of summer. In answer, we have, as
usual, to say that we know no art BY
mems Of which eggs can be made to re-
tain the freshness of their youth for six
months or more, nor do we know Of any
method Of rejuvenating them after they
have reached their dotage. Il has been
proved that eggs will keep in fair condl-
ton two Or three months, simply packed
ii salt, or in dry, siftcd coal ashes. The
common method Of keeping in lime water
is probably as good as any. The formula
is two pounds Of lime, one pint Of salt,
and four gallons Of water. Stake the
lime in hot water. Put in only fresh
eggs, ana keep them covered with the
liquid. Eggs thus packed and placed in
cold storage, when the temperature is
between IS deg. and 40 deg, will prob
ably como out in edible condition six
months later; but they will not be fresh

Of them soon after they are taken from
