THE NEW PRINCIPAL.

DR.. Robinson Who Will Have the Direo-
tion of the High school Hereafter.
From everything that can be
learned, the school board has made
no mistake in the electing DR.. E.
v. Robinson, of Muskegon, to the
principalship of the Kock Island
High school. MIR. Robinson is q man
OF about 80 years of age, Tue, robust
physique, rudy complexion, .
genial manly bearing and is in every
word and action perfect gentleman.
He is . graduate in the classical
course from the university of Michi-
gan. after which he taught for a few
years and then went to Europe to
complete his education. He entered
the university of Leipsic. where .he
received his Phi. d. degree after COM
Pleting two years Of work. DIR.
Robinson then returned to this
country and was imm ediately cleo ted
principal Of the Muskegon High
school, where he had under his i'm
mediate supervision $50 pupils. This
| position he held until he was induced
by . more favorable engagement to
accept . similar position in this city.
Mr.. Robinson. is recognized as one
Of the foremost high school
men of the country. He is we'll
known throughout the middle and
eastern states, is in touch with the
great universities of the east, is q
student Of educational questions and
is at the present time working in
conjunction with Supt. Young on
ways and means Of putting the Rock
Island High school in the front ranks
of the very best in the Mississippi
valley. That these two men, backed
by the hearty cooperation of the
board Of education, will do this, there
is not the shadow of doubt. 1t is
the purpose OF their having the
school in charge to broaden and
siren CITIZEN the course of study and
employ teachers of such scholarship
and teaching powers that the school
shall bs placed upon the accepted
list OF the best universities of
the land. The boys and girls who
enter the Rock Island High school
this fall and those who are already
members will have reason to be
proud of their alma mater when
they shall receive diplomas of grad.
uation. The indications now point
to membership of nearly three hun
dred for next year. DIR. Robinson,
with his young wife. to whom he
was married last June, will arrive
here about the 18th of August.

The Memphis papers are
laboring industriously to
trace every case of yellow fe-
yer, so far reported in that
city, to the McFerrin case.
Even if they establish their
claim, we fail to see how any
consolation can be derived
therefrom. The fact that the
fever is in Memphis, that it
is spreading, that it causes
death, is sufficient, no matter
from what source it emenat-
ed, whether of local origin or
imported. The press of Mem
phis and many of her physi-
clans claim that the fever
cannot possibly spread in the
city, on account of its thor
ough and complete sanitary
SYSTEM; but the fever contin-
ues to spread. We admire
the nerve of our Memphis
friends. We all love the
"Queen of the Chickasaws,"
the most prosperous city in
the South; but, for the pres
cut, we prefer to have as lit
tie to do with her as possible,
and under the circumstances,
she can't blame us. Possibly
Memphis will yet learn that a
strict quarantine is far more
effective in preventing the
introduction and spread of
yellow fever than any SANTA
ry system devised by man.

covey of local comets until they
fash their 'long tails of phospho-
escent nothing across the steadfast
stars. f" That's what a man must
do to Texas, and il is not too much
to say that our Bob ''done it."
The Knoxville Journal is also
moved to eloquent description of
that Texas speech:
He told them how "Texas was
the biggest waffle on the griddle of
North America" and how this large
waffle ''was sweetened with the
honey of happiness pouring from
the bunghole of prosperity and
buttered with pure Democracy. :"
The bunghole caught the crowd,
and they had an interview with it
Immediately. Then Bob resumed,
and told how the honey of Texas
is poison to tyrants, and how her
bees ''sting to death the invaders
of her soil," and how her ''cities
and hamlets and homes are the
bee hives of prosperity, rich with
the honeycomb of smiles and well
come" He might have again COM
pressed the welcome into a bomb
shell and again exploded it and
scattered over the plains and prai-
ries of Texas the celestial per-
fume from heavens choicest labora-
tory of a million forget-me-nots.
But Bob never explodes the same
cartridge twice. His oratory is like
his waffies, always steaming hot,
fresh from the cook-room of the
gods, and sweetened with the am
brosia of angels. Order is not ex-
pected of the brilliant meteors that
dart across the cerulean ornament;
they are without beginning, and
their end cannot be estimated by
the exactness of mathematical cal
culation. So of Bob's metaphors.
He sings them with a promiscuous
recklessness that is bewildering and
in defiance Of all rules of rhetoric;
but this detracts nothing from the
dazzlingness of their brilliancy.
Bob is a law unto himeslf, and can
laugh at his critics who are ham
pered by the iron-clad formulas of
passiOnless collegians. lie uses his
metaphors as he does his politics,
for pyrotechnic disply on festive
occasions, and in a realm where
there is no place for -blooded
critics,

ed to Mr.. Leland. The following
notice of her death is taken from

After about ten days illness Mrs.

Ashland Hams.

This is the way Mrs. Henry Clay
made the celebrated Ashland hams.
For every ten hams of moderate size
she took three and a half pounds of
fine salt, one pound of saltpetre,
and two pounds of brown sugar,
and after mixing them thoroughly
together, rubbed the hams Herewith
on both sides. They were then
packed in tight box and put in a
cool clubhouse for about three weeks,
then taken out and put in a picking
tub or hogshead, and covered with
brine strong enough to float an egg.
After three weeks they were taken
out, rubbed with fresh salt and hung
up in a well-ventilated house for a
few days to dry, then hung in the
smokehouse and smoked with green
hickory or walnut wood until the
color of bright mahogany, when
each ham was sewed up in canvas,
the bag whitewashed and hung to
dry.

Taylor in Texas.

Texans held a state fair at
Dallas last week and observ-
ed s'Tennessee Day." Gov.
Taylor, with his retinue of
gallant colonies, was on hand
and made a speech, of course.
In regard to that speech the
Commercial Appeal says:
And our Bob has surpassed him
self. He has scared to heights that
would make the American eagle
dizzy and tired; he has expanded
like the wild and gustful tornado,
which, at first no larger than your
hand, swells with the swelling gale
until it swallows the entire heavens.
He has run hurdle race among the
stars in pursuit of the fugaciOus
metaphor, and he has plucked the
hot tamale, heated by lightning
fresh from the frowning clouds.
Under other circumstances it may
be that he would subject himself
to legitimate criticism. If he were
addressing an audience of pale faced
bean-eaters in Boston, or were
speaking before a literary society
of Wichita, Kan, we might insist
upon more subdued and lassoed
kind of eloquence, that he should
dope his imagery and fly his meta
phOrs closer to the ground. But
Texas is big state. 1t is rich in
grass, opossums, sneeze-weed and
lofty Imagination. 1t is a state
where orators grow on enchanted
mesas, where the gurgle from the
best gurgleries of Kentucky is heard
from the early morn till dewy eve,
and where the Hon. James Socrates
HOgg lives, breaths and displaces
409,7l2 cubic inches of atmosphere.
Hence the Boston Library Brown
