A MODEL SCHOOL.
rAppeal-Avaranche. Memphis. Teen.

| appeal avalanche, MeD1phis' AceHJ
| During a short stay in Shreveport
that metropolis of North Louisiana
we had the pleasure of visiting. one
of the finest schools that it has beer
our good fortune to see for many
years. We refer to the flourlshlng
Seminary of that well known and
popular teacher, Miss KATE L. MEL
SON. whose untiring efforts to raise
the standard of education IN her
state, has won for her the esteem
and admiration of a large circle OF
friends. The school is situated on
the lower part of Texas Avenue, one
of the highest and most healthful
parts of Shreveport, and commands
an extensive view of the surrounding
country.
The building is very large, three
stories high, and capable of accomo-
dating comfortably sixty boarders.
Its attractive dormitory is spacious
and well ventilated, and one could
almost wish to be a school girl again
to have the privilege of sleeping ID
one of those dainty white beds:
Surely, only sweet dreams could
visit the young heads that nestle IN
these pretty little couches.
What contrast TO the olden times
when the word boarding school was
a synonym for every discomfort.
Then ink-stained floors and cracked,
discolored walls, were the order OF
the day. Now, these favored girls
wander through lofty halls, whose
snowy walls reflect the light pleas
antly. Large, airy recitation rooms,
furnished with every appliance OF
maps, globes, charts, ct cetera, rem
der the duties of both teacher and
pupil less arduous. Comfortable
seats, with desks of suitable height,
replace the hard benches OF former
times, so that now no girl need in
jure her figure and acquire bad car
riage by bending over her books.
The whole building is thoroughly
heated by steam, and water is carried
to every floor, furnishing an album
danA supply to the bath rooms, which
are bne of the most attractive fea-
turds of the establishment. Last,
but mot least, l must mention the de-
liyhful table. where most excellent
food is supplied, and the meals are
served not only with neatness, bat
elegance. The lady who has charge
of this department certainly has
made housekeeping one Of the fine
arts.
A numerous corps OF efficient
teachers assist Miss NELSON In her
labors, and she employee several
specialists.
We spent two days in this charm
ing institution, and were delighted
with its management, which is more
like that of q large, we'll ordered
family than a mere boarding-school.
W hen the shadows of day stole over

SHERIFF LAKE RESIGNED.
A Source of Regret tn the Parish at
Large.

I
Large.
On last Monday, shortly after tn
district Court had been formally
opened, quite sensation was created
bv MIR. John Lakes rendering bis
resignation rs sheriff of Caddo parish
For hours after this was the topic OF
general conversation, and to this time
lit still continues an interesting
theme.
The resignation of Mr.. Lake was
deeply regretted by, we venture, at
least nine-teDths of the citizens of
the parish, and by like proportion
in other parts of the State, where he
is known. And if the ladies and
children are to be included III this,
there would be such preponderance
of sentiment like we have expressed,
as would make it practically unanl-
nous.
Mr.. Lake has been sheriff of this
parish for more than twelve years,
and though coming into the office al
most stranger, he soon became by
long odds AID beyond all doubt the
most popular gentleman in his BALI
wick. We say almost a stranger, but
not entirely so, for by those who
knew what courage, honesty OF pur-
pose, true faith to principle, and de-
vOtion to a cause, was required to
free Democracy from her shackles,
knew him we'll and were glad to
do 40.
For the last four years about, he has
made a gallant fight against an oppo-
sltion which, though it may have been
clothed with legal justice, has been
merciless and unrelenting. Against
odds, and disappointed and betrayed
by some who had been the objects of
his favors, and from whom he had the
right to expect assistance. he has car
ried on a battle which for courage
and gallantry overshadows anything
that history, to our knowledge, has
ever chronicled, the "Charge of the
Light Brigade" not excepted, and
has come out of every one victorious.
The cruel cords have been frightened
whenever the opportunity was pre-
sented for it to be done, and though |
they cut into the flesh of the heart
and soul with heartrending anguish,
still undaunted he presented a def
ant front, nor would be cowed nor in
undated.
In the last election, notwithstand-
ing strenuous efforts were made by
few bosses to defeat him, he was
for the fourth time by an
majority ever two of
the best men in the parish.
John Lake pardon the familiarity
has resigned, and he goes out Of his
office still clothed. Harlanded and
with the respect of every
rue man, woman and child in all the
State. His friends cling to him still,
md to the world send forth in proud
accents that they feel honored in de-
,laring themselves his friends. Mr..
John Lake is a man, every inch Of
him, and in respect to charity, benev-
,lence and general manhood, towers
.bove almost every other man in this
erritory az does the oak tree above
he running vine. He is no longer
heriff, but he is still an honored gen.
leman among honorable people, and
It an election held next week could
vim fifth victory for the shrievalty.
