colleges. On the contrary, the Uni
versity and Denominational College
at Clinton have both had larger at
tendance since it's existence, whilst
the high schools all through the State
are more largely attended, which
would go to indicate that its influence
has been to awaken the educational
interest throughout the State and has
actually been the cause OF the partial
education of hundreds of boys who
would not have otherwise received
any at all.
MERIT OF THE TRAINING.
Desiring to compare the relative
merits of the training given here with
that at other institutions, we were
allowed to attend the class exercises,
and were favorably impressed with
both the thorough manner of the pro-
fessors and with the proficiency of the
students. We were invited to give
these to numbers of the senior class,
with thirty six hours to prepare essays
upon them. (It is fair to the young
gentlemen to state that they had only
been out of the junior class eight
weeks.) These essays were produced
in good English, read in good style,
and some of them we're so able as to
greatly astonish us.
INFLUENCES OF THE COLLEGE UPON THE
AGRICULTURE OF THE STATE.
It was our desire to ascertain if
possible what, if any, influence the
College was exercising on the agricul-
ture of the State, in addition to the
educational influence upon the indus
trial classes. We were reliably in
formed, since the College established
it's creamery, it has influenced the
erection of twenty others, some Of
which are very successful and have
competed successfully with Elgin and
other-W Western and Northern creame-
ries, which has moved this industry
several hundred miles south Silos
have been erected all over the State,
and farmers are now improving their
cattle, who before did not believe that
Mississippi butter could be sold at all
In competition with the Northern
product.
The numerous letters to the officers
of the College, which we had the
privilege Of inspecting, on all kinds
of farm topics, with the larger num-
ber Of visitors who came to the Col
lege to get information on stock breed
ing, horticulture, draining and kindred
subjects, indicate that the people Of
the State largely look to the College
for guidance in agricultural matters.
We learned of one community whose
agricultural matters had been so
changed and improved by the infu-
ence of two boys returning to it from
the College that the section has been
named after them. Time to canvass
and investigate would doubtless dis
cover many more. There are many
other evidences of the good influences
of the College, which would render
this import too long.
Respectfully submitted.

sam Jones and His grandmother.

A little incident which took place in
Wesson is being told on every street cor
ner here. 1t is about as follows: 1t seems
that Sam Jones was trying to draw line
between the man that goes to heaven ard
hell, and in his remarks refers to his
grandfather and grandmother in the fol-
lowing manner: My grandfather was
good man, as good as ever breathed the
breath of lite, and he went straight to
heaven. My grandmother was a bad
woman she never attended church, and
did not take any stock in the Bible and /
know she went to hell" About this time
a young man left his seat and started
toward the door. This did not p ease the
reverend gentleman, and he remarked !:
Yes, there is a man who is going to hell,
too" This young man proved to be a
commercial drummer, aud whirling around,
politely answered: 'Well, if that is the
case, is there any message you wish to
send to your grandmother ?'-Summit En-

What Not to Saw.

There are several ''don'ts' which should
be observed whenever two or more women
are gathered together, but which, alas, are
frequently disregarded. For instance, don't
say to a friend, How stout you are grow
ing" No lady likes to be told that she is
growing or has grown stout fit be a fact,
she is doubtless well aware of it and anx.
ious to keep Others from discovering it.
Don't say, How thin you are, either,
for both women and men loathe to be told
that they are either stout or thin. Unless
you can say, How well you are looking,
1t is better to make no remark on the per.
sonal appearance Of your friend.
Don't tell a friend who has ON partic-
ularly becoming gown or bonnet that she
looks ten years younger than in anything
you have ever seen her wear. Don't tell
her, either, that it is the most becoming
thing you have ever seen her wear. This
IS an impeachment Of her taste heretofore,
though you have no such thought.-DreSs.

WISDOM IN CHUNKS.

Worry kills more men than wars.
Experience gets there every time.
Great men can outgrow nick-names.
Wisdom waits to be asked for advice.
A woman tired of hearing of love is
tired of loving.
Many man lives on the reputation
other people make for him.
The truth about some men is not told
until after they are dead.
II every man could have his way, the
world would be almost depopulated
The man that never knows the time of
day is always too late or too early to wait.
Truths differ. Sometimes they are told
to mans face, and sometimes behind his
back.
Trusts are combinations of men and
corporations that can not trust one another
The man that guesses at probabilities
often oyerreaches the man that waits for
the truth.
Much sympathy is thrown away on an
ambulance patient. 1t may be only a case
of plain drunk
Sometimes it is wiser to beg pardon
than TO fight. The othor fellow may be
bigger, and a black eye is a cloud
When the policeman says "Move on p it
is wise 10 move. He has two advantages:
club and the semblance Of law.

Dog Who Tens Time.

Samuel Reid, the truckman, is the owner
Of very intelligent Irish setter, and he
never tires of telling of the many wonder
ful performances Of his pet. Last night
Mr.. Reid told his wife, in the presence of
the dog, to arouse him at o'clock this
morning, as he wished to 90 TO the Rose
dale dock to begin work on a large stock
OF freight which was awaiting his atten-
ton. This morning Mrs. Reid failed TO
awaken at the hour named. and Mr. Reid
was aroused by hearing his knowing dog
scratching at his bedroom door He in
stantly arose, and upon looking at the
clock discovered that it was three minutes
past O'clock Mr. Reid SAYS it would
take considerable money to tempt him to
dispose of the dog that seemingly so well
understands the English language, and is
withal so faithful and knowing. Bridge

First a Pigmy-Anon a Giant.

We are too apt 10 regard small ailment
much as We would some pigmy, unpleas-
ant of aspect and pTankish indeed, but in
capable of serious mischief. We ignore
the fact that itgrows prodigiously, strength
ems in proportion, and begets evil progeny.
A fit of indigestion, a slight bilious attack,
sensations of unrest and languor when the
system should have oeen braced by recent
sleep, unaccountable nervousness, inactiv-
ity Of the kidneys or bladder-what are
these but the precursors of obstinate and
serious bodily disturbance? In either Of
the above emergencies common sense and
experience unite in indicating Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as the best preventive.
Particularly should its use be prompt
when the languor, yawning, chilliness
down the back, and fevetisbness that pre-
cede mslarial attack, manifest them
selves. Incipient rheumatism grows apace
DON'T neglect it. So with constipation and

AFTER THE WAR.

From Shifting Scenes"
They had gathered there together,
Those veterans grim and gray
And many a scar from the civil war
They carried with them away.
Some there had fought with General Grant,
And some with General Lee,
And some had been with Sherman
In his famous march to the sea,
Oh many a savage fray they'd seen
Upon the soulful land plain,
And as they drained their glasses
They fought them DER again.
But as they talked of battles pest,
Fought by brave hearts and true,
The fire of Hate, gone out of late,
Began TO burn anew.
Then far in corner rose mar,
He was old and gray and bent
His clothes We're ali torn and tattered,
And on cane he lent.
seid-he: " I've stood ror many an hour
Where the shot fell thick and fast
But the cruel war is over,
Let the past now be the past"
Then came those veterans round him,
And fearful, grasped his hand;
And said - You've snoken, sir, Alright;
Twill be as you command"
And they drank his health together,
And his eyes grew glad and bright,
As the raddy drops of wine out-poured
Like blood in deadly fight.
At last said one Please tell, old man,
Where YOU got those gallant sears2
For we know you've many a tale to tell
OF long and cruel wars.
Was it at VicksbTrg's long-drawn siege,
Or on Antietam's plain,
Or where Lees veterans scaled the heights
OF Gettysburg in vain O.
The old man answered, and his look
Was sad and far away:
" In the shot-tower at ST. Louis
I've worked for many a day"

The Change from Boots and shoes,

Considerable attention has been called
to the calfskin situation. OF late years
the demand has been falling of, as other
kinds of leather have taken its place. One
of the principal causes of this lies in the
fact that long-legged boots havebeen qoisg
out Of favor shoes taking their place to a
great extent. This has had great effect on
the consumption of leather; upon an aver
age II requires about two and one-half 10
three times as much stock in the manufact-
ure OF boots as is required in the making
of shoes. In this way the use Of heavy
calfskins has greatly declined. During
the past few years the styles have run
more toward "dongola and " kangaroo y
leather for fine shoes, and this has been a
serious setback for fine lightweight calf
skins.-Bostoa Advertiser.

with these rock-heads, and gloried In their
eternal steadfastness. Feeling it an honor
! to be. of their company, volunteered for
duty on the point, to watch the enemy's
movements. So / CROPPED my way in the
darkness along the rocks, often on hands
and knees to resist the furious gusts of
wind that opposed me, and at last reached
sheltered niche on the verge of the point
The scene that came into view there was
| indeed worthy of the war of the elements.
The sea was all ablaze with phosphores-
cence; it even lighted the low clouds
sweeping along the horizon and ftfully
! revealed the hideous features of that
death-like shore.
The ocean, the mightiest power on earth,
! was now reused to its utmost fury, and
that fury was rendered still more impress
i've by an inward fire animating every
wave. Out on the reef, about half mile
off, the seas leaped high in the air, like
| flames; coming nearer, each individual
swell bore a burning crest on its black
form, and when at last it dashed against
the cliffs with deafening roar, it covered
them with sheets of fame and showers of
fiery spray; but still the rocks shone out
against the consuming fury with the same
immovable features The quieter waters
in my little cove offered some pretty sights;
each wave that broke came in bearing an
arch of light over its black base; other
waves swelled silently up the beach in
perfect darkness, but when the water
started back the entire strand flashed with
a flowing sheet of luminous foam. Then,
as the waters dashed over powders, the
spray became shower of moonlight gems
falling on the dark rocks. The caverns
along the foJt of the cliffs were lighted
as if by magic, deep down in the sea.
Ripples edged with light came kissing the
rocks with their graceful melting touch,
now playfully hiding in the night and then
pressing upon them with inward light.
But | soon turned again to the grander
spectacle seward, where an ocean of blaz-
ing seas, rushing, roaring, through the
night washed the black and jagged shores
with waves of ice-cold fire; and as the
wind lifted in, luminous spray the crests of
the waves, the night seemed to be peopled
with faint, trailing forms The deep was
yielding its dead, and the thousands who
had persisted on these rocks of Labrador
now fitted past me into the darkness. In
deed, the feeling of wonder verged at times
on tnat OF terror, SO magical ana unearthly
was the scene with the majesty of blazing
sea, the weird and CHASTITY scenery, the
bowling of gale-swept crags in the sky,
and the awful tempestuous night that
seemed to swallow us all-ses, crags, storm
and the phantoms from the deep. But at
other times the grandeur of the scene
overwhelmed all anxious thoughts, and
raised me to serene fellowship with all
that is awful and sublime. So when | re-
turned to the little beach and recalled my
narrow escape that day, and watched the
phosphorescent sparks shine out of the
dark sand al the pressure of every step,
like stars under my feet, felt as one who
had risen above all storms and now trod
through distant frmaments.-Ch Charles II.

to which an iron hook is attached, the lat
ter is inserted in a rope tied around the

then let down through the matches into

THE CUsToM-noUsE OFFICERS.

Insthese lonely places, about their only
chance for raking in revenue comes with
rarely-passing yessels-and You may be
sure that the golden opportunities are
never unimproyed. The authorities OF
San Jose are particularly friendly toward
the steamship on which your scribe is a
passenger-yet, not infrequently, unjust
demands are enforced; and what must
occur to those other vessels, compelled BY
law TO stop here, with whose officers they
do not feel on terms of interested friend
ship?
Let me give you few samples of the
