thought its star would wane, denied
the claim that our rich were getting
richer, and our poor poorer, but on
the contrary our poor are being lifted
up, asylums and homes are being
built for them to take care Of them,
and their condition is vastly better
than years ago. He wound up with
an appeal in uphoIding the good and
and the right at all times, and his
speech made good impression.
The judges then retired to compare
notes and render their decision. In
a short time they returned and
through their chairman, Hon. John
F. House, announced that the repre-
sentative to Nashville would be G..
w. Patterson, of Louisiana. The an
nouncement brought forth cheer
that nearly raised the roof, and made
the two Indians present hang their
heads with shame, when they COM
pared it with their puny war whoop.
Quiet being restored, r. A. Haden,
of Louisiana; w. s. Stewart, of Mis-
sissippi; and ]. M. Wells, of Mis-
souri, were announced as the COM
mencement orators. The result gave
general satisfaction, although, our re-
porter, and many of the boys thought
Mr.. Foster, Of Alabama, should
have had place. a
Many ladies and old people were
present and all agreed that it was the
best contest ever given. After the
ladies had retired the boys insisted
on a speech from Mr.. Patterson,
which was responded to by him in a
neat manner. After three cheers and
a tiger for the University, every one
went home satisfied that they had
spent pleasant and profitable eve
ming.

OLE BONY'S CRIME.

San Francisco Argonaut: A crime
had been committed in Mississippi
One lovely evening in May as a rosy
twilight was stealing on, little girl
dragged herself to her mothers door.
She had been gathering wild violets
and yellow jasmine along the brook and
intended to decorate her mothers hum
BILE mantel-shelf, but she had been
gone a long time. Her large blue
eyes We're bloodshot, and dark shadow
appeared beneath them, her flaXcn
brutal fingers stood out with inhamed
prominence on her tender throat. She
could not climb the steps, and called
out, family and piteOusly: Mother"
. The woman rose from her chair,
dropped her sci ssors and spools, threw
her work on the floor and gazed at her
child-stupefed and horror stricken.
She caught her up and pressed her to
her heart. moaning:
MY poor baby. my poor baby. Omy
God. my God!"
That night the child died. Mounted
men and men on foot were sent scour-
ing the forests, and towards morning
they brought in negro. He was the
criminal.
The younger and
MORE HOT-BLOODED
men insisted on speedy termination Of
the tragedy, but other counsels pre-
vailed. Here was Il rare opportunity
for the display of develish skill, horri-
BILE ingenuity and cruel refinement.
Bob Angel goes down tonight, don t
he?" said one.
"Yes-on the 93.'
AT ll:45?'
"Yes, at 1l:45."
"Send him down on Bob's engine"
The prisoner was held until the freight
train pulled up ut the station. When
Bob Angel descended from the fire-cab
he was followed by his negro fireman.
The latter had evidently just finished
his supper, for he was wiping the grease
from his shining lips and chin with
the back of his hand. He procured the
oil can and torch and was "oiling up"
as n long run between stations was
ahead. The negro had a neck like a
bulls: he was somewhat knock-kneed
and had splay feet of enormous size; he
was large and strong, and could crack
hickory nuts between his teeth like a
hog. He was called "Ole Bony," be-
cause he disdained to eat the meat only
of chickens. He ate bones and all.
"I'll turn him over to Bony," said
Angel; mot that | mind doing it my
self, but Bony will enjoy it so much"
Bony was called aside and the
CRIME REVEALED TO HIM.
AN that's the niger dar what done
it?n "Yes."
Bony went to one side and ''studied
the situation" pondering deeply. An

vorably Received.
AN ENTHUSIASTS PHILOSOPHY.
The New Jerusalem Which lie is to
Build-AstoundingP Precocity-
An old Head on Young
Shoulders.
AN ENTHUSIASTS PHILOSOPHY.
The New Jerusalem.

San Francisco Chronicle: Prominent
Jewish people in San Francisco are not
very favorably impressed by the project
Of Professor Merton, better known by
his pseudonym Of ''Sivartha," to restore
Palestine to it's ancient greatness and
rebuild Jerusalem. Every one who has
any claims to be considered we'll
informed christian knows that it is part
of the orthodox Jewish faith that the
eXiled Hebrews, scattered to the four
quarters of the globe, will be finally
gathered up by the omnipotent hand of
Providence and placed, in all the glory
of their pristine power in arms and art,
in full possession of Jerusalem. The
word Of the prophet hath so declared
and it has stood in the scriptures
through ages, a prediction which He
brews have revercd and christians re-
spected.
A belief in the words of the ancient
prophecy is most natural in the Jewish
people who in an almost miraculous man
ner have preserved, through centuries
Of vicissitudes, the characteristics and
traditions of their Oriental ancestry.
Even the wonderful tenacity of The Ir-
ish race in battling through centuries
for uauonal recognition is but a mere
modern instance compared with the
protracted struggle of the Jews for an
Independent existence. Almost a thous-
and years before the Irish people were
placed under the ban of eXpatriation the
children of a Abraham had been driven
from the valleys of Palestine and were
suffering the hardships of exile in var-
ious lands. Wherever this Oriental
people went they carried with them the
traditions OF their land of promise.
They had been in exile and in bondage
before and fate had favored them.
Their prophets had foretold that the
Babylonian captivity would be followed
by an era of great national power and
prosperity, and the words had come to
pass. The temple had been restored
and the glory of the epochs eclipsed.
When, therefore. the seer of later age
of adversity predicted the reconstruc-
tion of new Jerusalem after the Ro-
man conquest, and the politi-
cal ascendancy of his race once
more, the prophecy left an impression
which thousands of years have not en-
tirely effaced. The attention given to
the utterance of "Sivartha," and the
fact that the orthodox rabbis pray daily
for the restoration OF Jerusalem TO their
race, prove how slowly the faith in the
full letter of the prophesy is being re-
\ moved. In the spirit of the propheesy
the reformed as well as the orthodox
Hebrew church firmly believes.
REBUILDING JERUSALEM.
The comments OF enlightened He
brews on the Sivarthean scheme are
very interesting, inasmuch as they
demonstrate how far the civilization ol
the west effects the race characteristics
and traditions OF the east. When
therefore, IL is stated that even among

with hope to the coming not of the per-
sOnal Messiah, but that messianic time
when Jerusalem shall be reinhabited
and peace
O'er the world her olive wane extend,
And white. robed Innocence from heaven de-
Scend
No more shall nation against nation rise,
Nor ardent warriors meet with hateful eyes I;
But useless lances into scythes shall bend,
And the broad falchOn in a plowshare end,
Then lambs with wolves shall Craze the yer
dant mead,
And boys in tiowry bonds the tiger lead;
The steer and lion at one crib shall meet;
And harmless serpents lick the pilgrims
feet.
"Meantime, orthodox and unorthodox
alike, we regard 'Sivartha' as vision
ary if nothing worse" said the Jewish
citizen, and the four rabbis in black
tall hats and black coats all nodded
their approval of the layman's emphatic
comments,
