!, Colored School Commencement.

The eighth annual commencement
of the colored city school of Mt. Ster-
ling, held at the Court House on
Thursday evening, May 4th, was q
delightful revelation to many white
citizens who were privileged specta-
tors.
Connisseurs in this sphere of effort
and attainment pronounce the pro-
gram and its execution unsurpassed
in many respects by any entertain
ment of the kind enjoyed in this city
for many years.
Pupils and teachers alike merit
greet praise, and reflect honor upon
the community of which they are no
Insignificant constituents.
Choruses, solos, orations and recits-
tons moved in rapid succession, and
were so well executed that there was
no suggestion of monotony and no OPP
portunity for WEAKNESS.
After the presentation of diplomas
to the proud-looking graduates by
Professor Estill in a few we'll chosen
and impressive words of admonition
and congratulation, the operate quar-
tette rendered most creditably THE
Professor at Home" to the yet I'M
wearied crowds that filled the court
room and thronged the doors.
Several of the pupils were enthusi-
astically encored with especial persist
ence by the white members of tie de-
lighted multitude. Notwithstanding
the crushing crowds and the blazing
enthusiasm often aroused by the exer-
cises, the order and decorum was
above all criticism.
Professor Estill, the Principal of the
school, Is worthy of all commenda-
ton. His conscientious devotion to
his profession, his rare qualifications
for his special work, and his manly,
honorable and dignified bearing under
all circumstances and in all relations,
have won for him high position in
the regard of his fellow-citizens.

RFACTs AND OBSERVATIONS
On a Trip to Campton, Jackson

When the train reached Jackson,
and before sgoing to the Arlington,
the writer took jaunt afoot beyond
the big plat of the Day Bros. Lum-
Der Co., both on business and to see
the sights, Twenty new cottages, all
in row and alike, have been built on
the hill by the mining company for
their men.
We returned by the riverside and
through the lumber yards. The river
had recently flooded everything in the
yard. and several stacks of lumber
had been shifted. Kindling and stove

Piles of it being burned to get rid of
it. Why this waste, thought 1. Has
jackson no poor or rich who would
gladly haul it away ?issIt will come in
good place next winter. If the mar
ayers are TO burn it up thus, why do
not the town people lay in supply !?
You have heard about the bridge !?
stood on the bridge, but not at mid
night. 1t is certainly great thing
for Jackson, and no citizen of the
county should complain because the
county spent $4,000 for it. In Janu-
airy it was rented to the highest bid-
der for one year for 1880. The
lessee will, we think, make his mon
ey. The toll rates are very reason
able. 1 had rather pay cent any
time than to swim the river. Yet, If
man is contrary or stingy, there is
the river-go in. The rates are: For
one tootman, cent; two footmen, 2
cents, ad infinitum; horseman, one
way, cents; horseman, round trip,
8 cents; two horse wagon, each way,
5 cents; wagon with more than two
horses, one ways cents; round trip,
Is cents. Did not ask the price for
hogs, cattle and geese.
Jackson is coming to the front.
Macadamized streets must soon be ag-
stated. Mud holes in the town are
unstghtly.
We arrived too late to take canoe
ride through our hotel. The like had
not been known for many years, If
ever before, when the river was so
high as in the last flood.
You have been at the hospitabie

How to Prolong Life.

From the American Journal of Health.
'IntemperanCe anticipates age" so said
the late Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson.
The more the social causes of mental and
physical organic diseases are Investigated,
the more closely the origin of degenera-
tive organic changes leading to premature
degeneration and decay are questioned,
the more closely does it come out that in
temperance, often not suspected by the
person himself who is implicated in it, so
subtle is its influence, is at the root of
evil. When old age has really COM
menced its march toward final decay 1t
is best delayed by attention to those rules
of conservation by which life is sustained
with the least friction and the least
waste. The prime rules for this purpose
are-to subsist on light but nutritious
diet, with milk as the standard food, but
varied according to season. To take food
in moderate quantities four times a day,

There is one thing about West Point
that cannot be denied. 1t is thoroughly
democratic. The poor boy and the mil
nonaire's son are alike in the eyes of
his fellows. Any "plebe' whose father
is one of the 400, and who because of
that attempts to parade his social
standing, soon gets a fiattening out. In
the past few years the haze lessons
that have resulted in bodily injuries to
''piebes" have mostly, it is said, been
the result of putting on airs" by
''plebes" who did not know that dol
lars do not make bell buttons on a rich
boys coat look brighter to the cadet
corps than a poor boys bell buttons.
There is probably not college or
university in the United States where
"hazing' of some kind is not in vogue.
In the eyes of West Point cadet it Is
a necessity, if practiced in an innocent,
harmless way, to take the conceit out
of a newcomer. Pride at West Point
must always have heavy fall.
There was not a general in the army
during the civil war who was a gradu-
ate of West Point and who became
famous for his exploits or skill as
leader of soldiers" said an army officer
to the Times reporter yesterday, who
did not get a taste of the haze when
he was 'plebe.' Not one of them when
questioned ever denied that he had
reaped benefit by it: that it made him
think less of himself and much better
of his fellow students. But there was
no brutality in any haze measure be-
fore the civil war. If such thing is
creeping into West Point now, Colonel
Mills, the superintendent, / know will
crush it speedily. ''-Philadelphia Times.

How 100000 Volumes Are busted in
Two Weeks by Five Men.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The Newberry library, shining and
spotless from attic to basement, is
again open to the public Not only
the building itself, but every book,
pamphlet and paper in it has been
thoroughly renovated. To clean the
books alone it required five men two
weeks. and with each of these five men
it is now firm conviction that if some
inventive genius would turn his atten-
ton to a patent book cleaner instead
of churns and tack-lifters, he would
make a fortune.
1t is a herculean task, this cleaning of
100000 volumes, and to assign to one
man the cleaning Of 10000 seems, as
Jerome X. Jerome says of the German
facilities for performing ones ablu-
tons, like tidying up the Augean sta
bles with squirt. 1t was accomplished.
however, and the janitor who bossed
the job and did most of the work is
as proud of it as possible.
Each man was assigned a case, from
which he took the books, one shelf at
time, and after carefully busting
them with a feather buster, placed
them in order on a truck. The shelf
was then washed, the books taken up,
two at a time, slammed together,
whatever dust thus loosened blown off
and replaced.
This upheaval takes place in the
Newberry library every year, but some
of the others are not so fastidious. The
Crerar has never in the more than two
years course of it's existence been
thoroughly cleaned. 1T has it's daily
and weekly goings over. however, and
here trial has been made of a patent
buster. 1t consists of a fan enclosed
in a box from which extends a long
tube with feather buster at the end.
When set in motion the buster IS sup
posed to take off the dust which is
drawn through the tube into the box
by the suction caused by the rapid mo-
ton of the fan. But this has not been
success, and when the books are
busted the method of the Newberry is
used. This seems to be the only way,
as not only libraries but book stores as
well use it.
