IN PRESIDENCY AND FACULTY.
As stated in The Chronicle
Tuesday morning, a meeting of
the northern and southern trus
tees of Biddle University was

The resignation of Revs. w,

groes-Sanders, Grinki and
Brooks.
Messrs Barringer, Hutchinson,
Reid and Oates, the southern
board of trutees, could not ap
pove the action of the Freed

changes, and and they rendered
their designations as member

As WILDE seen the only whit,
members of the present faculty

bread cut light and white and
sweet; when her tea biscuit were
pronounced as good as her moth
er's; when she was promoted to
buildings, to cup-cake, to pie
paste, to fruit-cake, to preserves;
when her first jelly translucent
as stained glass, her pickles were
at last put on an equality with
her grandmother's. And if she
lived on a farm, this child of a
wise mother, she knew by this
time how to make hutter, and
perhaps the cheese, to prepar
the sausage meat, to pickle the
pigs feet, to make the Drawn.
This familiarity with work the
wise average mother has seen
to it that her child acquired, al
most without knowing that she
did so, even when there was a
servant in the house, and, if it
were necessary, only expert
mentally, so that when the day
of trial came, it was no day of
trial at all to her. The daughter
may prefer her book, her piano,
her pencil; it is to be hoped she
does; but she is ready and equal
to her broom, her saucepan, and
her fiat-iron. She goes about
her work so quickly, SO deity,
with such knowledge, neither
splitting nor cluttering, that it
hardly seems to be work, and
the results are wrought so easily
that you feel as if it were all a
process ofnature, and the dainty
meal, the clean house, the
bright lamp, came about like
the sunrise or the filling and
emptying of the tide. And the
beauty of it is that Bridget or
Frederick or Gretchen or Betsy
may come or she may go, but
this young daughter is always
there. Whether they come or
whether they go, she is the girl
that stays, she is always on
hand TO repair their wrong, she
is the bright, willing, loving,
strong, and happy staff to lean
on. In every home where the
mother has had love and fore
sight, and the daughter has had
obedience and ambition, there
is perfect composure on the sub
ject of the servant-girl question.
No matter what the other girls
may do. there is always-Hea-
ven be blessed for it!-(and I'M

The farmers are in the midst
of wheat harvest this week and
the crnp is turning out quite
well-it will be at least an aver
age crop. The warm days and
nights are bringing the cotton
and corn out of the kinks but
they are wofully over run by

to save their wheat. Tobacco

Direct VS.. Indirect.

The Lynchburg Advance says:
Everybody knows how the price
of sugar has come down since
raw Sugar has. been permitted
to come in free of duty The
Republicans are never weary of
pointing to this reduction as a
boon conferred ON the poor man
by the Fifty-first Congress.
These same Republicans never
tell the whole story, for if they
did the fraud in the whole trans
action would be made apparent
to the dullest apprehension.
The people are relieved, they
say, of a tax of $60,oO0,oO0 per
annum. So far so good. That
sounds well. 1t looks like prac-
tical relief. Now look at the
other side. A bounty of Sl5,-
900, 900 is paid out of the pub
lie treasury to the American
producers Of sugar; so that re-
duces the relief from $50, 0o0,-
600. to I $45, 900, 900 per annum,
and introduces into our system
the mischievous feature. of pro-
lection for a class, name y, the
sugar planters. What claim
have they for government pro-
lection any more than the to-
bacco planters, or the producers
of corn, wheat or any other
farm crop, unless.it be that they
have been enjoying tariff pro-
lection for so many years that
they have come to look upon 1t
as a right and would regard
themselves as wronged if de-
prived of protection in some
shape. Well, the sugar plant
ers are now quartered on the
government as pensioners, as
pets of protection. In other
words the government pays
them every year a bounty of
$4,000, 900 to encourage them to
prosecute their own private
business for their own indiyi-
dual profit. Take another view.
The $40, Doc, 900 taken from the
cost of sugar is only transferred
toother Misunderstanding, hard
ware, crockery. glass, tin plate,
etc., as necessary to the poor
man as sugar. So, after all our
debt of gratitude to the billion
dollar Congress dwindles down
to nothing. One lesson, how
ever, has been taught. by the
sugar reduction, which ought
to make, an impression. IL is
cheaper to pay a direct bounty
to the pets of protection than TO
lay a tariff to accomplish the
same object indirectly. 1t is
easier to pay 100000 than
$G0, 000, 900. Why not apply the
same. principle to the other pet
classa Why not, for instance,
pay a few million per annum as
bounties TO the manufacturers
of clothing and hardware and
crockery and glass and tinplate,
and relieve our people from the
heavier burden of a protective
tariff: Ii would be a good bust
ness transaction saving annu-
ally millions 10 the unprotected
masses, millions now paid out
in the shape Of indirect taxes.
Where the justice or equity OF
the transaction would come in,
is not our business to point out.
The truth Is, there is no justice
in protection. The whole thing
is robbery. Our only concern
just now is 70 inquire which
form of robbery would be Least
oppressive 10 the people, anC
the conclusion, from our exper
ence with sugar is, that the
direct bounty being less costly
Is preferable 10 the indirect pro
tectiys tariff. OF two evils is Il

Unique Railroalins.

Georgia has unique railroad train,
which is described by the Atlanta Con-
stitution.. 1t runs from Chamblee up on
the Air Line road out to Roswell, a dis
lance of only about fifteen miles. but the
little train is famous. 1t consists of one
car, which is divided into three COM
partmcnts, an engine without any of
the modern improvements, without
even tender, the wood being piled up
in the cab. AS soon as everybody gets
on the train starts. There is no pre-
liminary bell ringing or warming from
the engine, but you are off, humping
and rolling around {; the rate of about
nine miles an hour, before you know it.
At different places along the line, ut a
road crossing. in the middle of cotton
patch or cornfield, or anywhere n pas
senger presents himself, the little train
will stop.

Queer Kind of Pudding Made and Eaton
In Africa.
Saleh, Stanley's attendant, said it
was curious to watch Stanleys white
officers when introduced to chiquanga,
IL kind of pudding made of boiled man
ioc root. Neither the taste nor odor of
this food is at all inviting at first; but
necessity brings all whites as well as
blacks to regard it as the bread of life
before many months of residence in
central Africa.
When SANKEY'S white officers had fin
ishcd their small stock of timed pro-
visions and rice, says st. Nicholas, they
were absolutely compelled to fall back
on the manioc dishes; but the sourness
of taste of this African pudding is Sc
rious barrier to the enjoyment of it,
and some stubborn persistence is re-
quired before the white man halls
chiquanga as delicacy; but like other
white travellers, these officers began to
like it, and when they passed beyond
the districts where it grew, and were
forced to adhere to roast plaintain
diet, they regretted bitterly that they
had no manioc.
