On last Sunday the steamer

made an excursion to Elk City,
with a number of people on board
from Toledo and other points on
the bay.
Jude Pipes was among the

many regrets, all hands declaring
they would spend part of the sum-

this place on time. What a hand
shaking we got here, a finer,
healthier set Of men never could
be found in any conutry. The
lovely air at this elevation seems
to make our clothes fit better or
rather tighter.
At l p. m. we all assem- bled
around the school house, as there
was not room on the inside to hold
the people. The regular tariff
sermons were preached on both
sides, also the systems of the diff
ferent educational branches. At
sun down every one of us retired
to their respective quarters and
the residents to their homes
among the hills.
We had the pleasure of looking
at some Of the finest horses that
can be produced in the United
States.

goner; in the three.years course, Misses
Chandler, Davidson, Hogue and Messrs.

the ships. Every body hal a very enjoyable
time, especially on the return trip There

THE TOWNylLLE HIGH SCHOOL.
BY LI2zIE GRANT.

You know I told you few weeks ago,
That of our school I would tell something
more;
We haven't very much to tell you to-day,
But hope il will interest you what we do
have to say,
AS its about our school, that We prize 80
high,
And that closes on fifteenth day OF July.
Nearly all the other schools are already
vacated,
But ours continues, as I have already
stated,
Nor any of US are sorry, for we all like to
90.
The boys like it much better than to have
cotton to hoe;
To go to school this season is the girls
great delight,
For after studying all lay, they can rest 80
well at night.
Eut soon the day will come when our
school must vacate,
Then we'll lay away our books and our
states,
But with not as much pleasure as you all
may suppose,
Tor it makes Us feel sad for our school to
OF course, we are glad to get to rest for
awhile,
And enjoy the sweet breezes of our eli
mate so mild.
We have news to tell you, that we know
will make you glad.
We are going to have the best time we
ever have had,
For our teacher told us that on the very
We might have pic mic before we all
scatter away.
We want all our school mates to be sure
and be there,
And il we don't have nice time, We shall
certainly think queer.
There you'll meet all Of your old school
mates SO dear.
Who are being trained with the tenderest
care.
We want ell the par MS to be present, too,
For it will MAKE us !tei !n.irirr than il

But GU, 5, you will have to Il:;n out The

We hope our teacher will enjoy the day,
too
For he has learned us AS much as any
teacher could do.
He used so much patience when we were
stumbling along,
Trying to distinguish the right from the
wrong,
We thank him so much for his close 40.
tention,
And many other things too numerous to
mention.
We all wish him pleasant vacation,
And hope he is pleased with his new stu

Enough so any way to teach for Us again,

no one complain.

met. No one expected Mr.. Davis to
cope with Prent;ss. Many expected that
he would be utterly annihilated, demol-
ished, rained, but he was not. Calm,
conscious and dignifed, he held bis
own in that memorable conflict and
when he retired from the field he had
his colors unstained, and as they said,
brought off his dead and wounded and
was ready for battle again on the morrow
The result of the encounter lifted Mr..
Davis up as an orator and debater, and
be was by common consent placed at the
head of the party and kept there. His
brilliant service in the Mexican war
that came on soon after added to his fame
and nothing that he ever did lessened
the regard and the affection of the peo-
pie for him. The two men, Dsvis and
Prentiss, were Mississippi's idols. What
the latter would have been we know not,
for death cut him down early. he died

Davis lived to eighty.two, just twice as

THE WILL

Mental philosophers have divided the
powers of the mind into three grand de-
partments, the intellect, the sensibilities
and the will, but it is not ny purpose to
treat of the twill" in regard to its phi
losophical or metaphysical relations to
the several other facilities, but in its in
Auence and bearing in regard to practI.
cal life and individual conduct.
Its Importance becomes manifest when
We know that it is the basis and founda-
ton of all character and of all success.
We find that wherever this power is
worthily exercised it generally leads to
success, and the end in view will be
accomplished.
Take profession if you choose, it
matters not what, and this power will be
the underlying principle, the main
spring Of action which leads to the high
est success and the upbuilding of those
noble principles which characterize the
hero in either action or endurance, and
make the masterful man.
Here stands man of whom the world
might be proud; born genius whose
name ought to shine in the literature of
his age. His pen might be welded with
the power of a Shakespeare his oratory
light even surpass Demosthenes, but
alasl What sad, sad pity that such
genius aboud be wasted, thrown away as
1t were, and the bright, young life which
gave it birth q failure, and all for the
want of proper energy, of "will"-the
main focus-the pivot about which all
the other powers revolve.
Hero on the other hand stands man
who is not genius, but who has deter
mination and will" about him. De is
perseveripg, firm and iuaexible as rock
He has steadily advanced, notwithstand-
irg the many vicissitudes and adverse
fortunes which he encc ''nters, and which
requires such indomitable courage and
"will" to overcome. just as sure as the
sun will rise in all his reaplendent
beauty and glorious majesty to shed
light and radiance over this sleeping
world of ours, 50 sure will such one
continue to advance. 1t is impossible
that his life should be an utter failure
lie may stumble and fall, he may bf
overthrown time and again, but does tha
constitute failure? Not by any means
It only moves him to renewed energy
and causes him to exert more freely tht
power of his ''will," aud in the end ht
will come forward in triumph, and the
victory will be won. How important il
is for US to have this power
Why just look around you over thi'
grand and beautiful American continen

Inventor COOly's Airship.

M1DD1ETowN, N. Y, May 5.-John
F. Cooley, an ingenious sud enthusiastic
inventor of Penn Van, N. Y, thinks he
has solved the problem of successfully
navigating the air. A company of capi.
talists of his town, with Fl. R. Philips as
President, has furnished the money to
put the invention to practical test, and
has contracted for the building of one of
the airships at an Elmira chop.
The ship will be cigar shaped or in the
form of a double. cone, and about 300 feet
long and thirty feet in diameter at the
centre. The principle material to be used
is aluminium. There will be no car or
apparatus hanging beneath, as the pas
sengers and machinery will be carried
within the body of the ship.
The buoyant power will be hydrogen
gas contained in twenty separate cham
bers. The propelling power will be OBJ
tanned from chemical compound, the
nature of which is one OF Mr.. Cooley s
secrets, and which will operate propellers
weighing only one pound to the horse
power at the rate of 5000 revolutions a
minute.
Mr.. Cooley expects a machine of the
size indicated to carry ten passengers and
all needful machinery and supplies, at the
rate of from 100 to 200 miles an hour. He
maintains that his perfected airships will
at once put an end to all forms of war,
because no body of armed men and no
forti6cation could exist for any length of
time against rain of dynamite shells
from an airship.

providing for pension system was TO
com pensate the soldiers for any decrease
in their earning capacity on account OF
disabilities incurred in the service. 1t
Was never intended that pensions should
be given as graft or as reward for
patriotism, but in these latter days the
system has been constantly liberalized
until now there has grown up a demand
for pensions to soldiers who not only
never incurred any disabilities in the
service, but who are not at present labor
ing under any preceptible disability.
There are plenty of ex-soldiers now on
the pension rolls who are financially in
Independent circumstances, while there
are many other soldiers who need pen,
sions and are denied them because oil
some defect in the record of their service
or in the proof necessary to establish
their claim"
"You speak, Mr.. Euloe, of the contin-
ued liberalizing of the pension laws. In
what way is this done, and what is the
purpose of it?"
ut has been done by legislation, and
by the Interpretation of the Law. The
board Of pension appeals has broken
down the established rule which obtained
under the general law. I speak of the
general law in contradistinction to the
Act passed by the last Congress, which
provided for dependent pensions, making
the granting of pension dependent on
the need of the soldier rather than upon
the origin of his disability. Until
the pension system was debauched by
dragging it into politics in the last fifteen
years it was necessary for the soldier to
trace his present disability back to hi'
