PrcntiSS on Public Education

Speaking on public education,
S. S. Prentiss, the great orator,
said: 'sThe public school-the
free-the common school pro-
vided by law: open to all: claimed
from the community as right,
not accepted as bounty.
Here the children of the rich
and poor, high and low, meet
upon perfect equality, and com
mence under the same auspices
the race of life. Here the sus
tenance of the mind is served up
to all alike, as the Spartans
served their food upon the pub
lie table. Here young am bition
climbs his little ladder, and boy
ish genius plumes his half
fledged wing. From among
these laughing children will go
forth the men who are to control
the destinies of their age and
country; the statesman who is to
guide the senate; the poet who
will take captive the hearts of
the people and bind them to-
gether with immortal song: the
philosopher who, boldly Selling
upon the elements themselves,
will connect them to his wishes,
and, through new com binations
of their primal laws, by some
great discovery revolu tionize
both art and science.
The common village school is
our country's fairest boast, the
brightest jewel that adorns her
brow. The principle that society
is bound to provide for it's mem
bers education as well as pro-
lection, so that none need be
ignorant except from choice, is
the most important that belongs
to modern philosophy. It is es-
sential to republican govern
ment. Universal education is not
only the best and surest, but the
only sure foundation for free in
stitutions. True liberty is the
child OF knowledge; she pines
sd dies away in the arms of

Aspecial from Opelousas states
that the district court at that
place is engaged in trying a
question whose decision will no
doubt prove of great interest to
many Louisiana towns. From
what we are able to learn the ma
ture of the controversy is as fol
lows:
The City Council has apprO-
priated $4,000 to build plank
walks along the principal streets
of the town. A number of citi-
zens have appealed to the dis
trict court to enjOin the Council
from making the contemplated
improvements on the ground
that plankwalks are a menace to
the health of the community.
The special says that the plain
tiffS have introduced several ex-
legation that pla TX sidewalks ex-
clude sunshine and air from the
ground and thus produce mala-
ria Many objections have been
made to plankwall<s, but we be-
ieve that this is the first time
that they are alleged to be
breeders of malaria. But this is
an of age when science is making
rapid strides, and as the medi-
cal branch has been particularly
active in revealing new dis
coveries it will not be surprising
if the fears of the Opelousas
gentlemen are shown to be we'll
grounded. Already we have
been warned by learned scien-
fists that the common dust is
filed with disease breeding mi
crobes and that the very air
which we breathe is charged with
germs that affiict humanity with
all the ills that flesh is heir to.
The mosquito has cotton to be
so prolific disseminatOr of bac
terra that his bill is believed to
be as full of trouble as Pando-
ra's box Now if it should hap
pen that the once harmless
plankwalk is to be added to the
long list of things which seemed
to have been created and in
vented for no other purpose than
to depopulate the earth, for the
peace of mind of the human race
it might be we'll for science to
take a rest.
AS Lafayette has several miles
of plankwalks it will await the
decision of the court with much
interest.

HOnOring the Memory of Heroes.
New Orleans Picayune.
The celebration of Confederate
Decoration day yesterday was in
every way an emminent success.
The weather was all that could
be desired; the flowers were
abundant and lovely: the exer
cises We're simple, appropriate
and beautiful, and the attend
ance at the cemeteries was very
great. The fair sex, who are al
ways foremost in honoring the
dead, and particularly the heroic
dead, were largely in evidence.
A most pleasing feature of the
occasion was the placing by a
delegation of veterans from the
Union Army organizations here,
of floral tributes at the base of
the Confederate monuments in
the cemeteries. This was sim
ply the carrying out of custom
adopted here many years ago, of
participation by the veterans of
each cause, in the decoration of
the graves of the dead of those
who were once their adversaries.
There sleep under the shade
of the magnOlias in the National
Cemetery at Chalmette, in the
environs of this city, 12,5OO Fed
eral soldiers, who lost their lives
in the campaigns in this part of
the country, and many years ago
it was the habit of our lovely
Southern women, on the Occa-
sion of Federal Decoration day,
to lay flowers upon the grassy
mounds which cover these
strangers, whose wives, mothers.
daughters and friends are far
away. 1t was this beautiful ex-
preston of woman's tenderness
and pity that started this in
terchange of tributes to the
dead, and it has for a period long
antedating anything of the kind
Decoration day, whether of the
wearers of the Gray or the Blue.
1t is a beautiful custom that
has since been adopted and fol-
lowed elsewhere, and it is but an
expression of the fact that brave
men and noble women are ever
ready to honor the memory of
heroes who died in cause they
deemed right and just, and who
sealed their faith with their
lives.

CYCLONE IN MISSISSIPPI.
Seven People Killed and Much Damage
Done.

VICKSBURG, Miss, March 13-
A cyclone swept the southern
section of Copiah and the north
section of Lincoln counties yes
terday morning, killing at least
seven perple and leveling build
ingS' trees and fences. Mont
gomery, a village in Copiah, on
the Illinois Central Railroad,
was the worst sufferer and four
bodies are known to be under
debris of collapsed buildings.
Three miles further south a rail
road camp was wrecked and three
negroes killed. A passenger
train on the Illinois Central road
was struck by the storm and
every window in every coach
was blown in. At HazeIhurst
considerable damage was done.

Van SAINT, who has looked into
the matter with some surprising
results.
In Minnesota a man who is a
life prisoner is civilly dead. The
only way he can make any bind
ing contract, in the eyes of the
law. is through the board which
paroles him. 1t is not probable,
however, that the three members
of the board of control, separ-
ately or as a whole, will agree to
enter into a marriage contract
with any woman for the benefit
of the paroled life convict. The
only way for Younger to become
a married man in Minnesota is to
get a pardon, which will restore
him to the rights of living clti-
zen.
Another phase of the law is
that neither Jim Youngenr or his
brother Cole, if they establish any
business of their own, as has been
contemplated, can be held for any
debts which they may incur.

goland. German West Africa,
how to grow cottOd, have, &C.
cording to the report of tbs colo
NAL committee, succeeded in pro-
ducing cotton which is graded on
the Bremen exchange above
American middling. The Tus-
kegee negroes have demonstrat
ed that the land in Togoland is
suitable for cotton, of which
there is great abundance. The
only obstacle to the commercial
utilization of this product is
transportation, especially getting
the bales to the coast. The col

left for pedestrians or policemen
to find.
A fear is felt that more than
twelve men among those who
have come to Beaumont and were
afterward reported as missing"
have been murdered and that their
bodies are lying at the bottom of
the river. During the last three
months at least fifty inquiries for
missing men have been received
and while no one supposed that
the gang had murdered so many
as fifty. there is a fear that some
of the disappearance are due to
to their work.
FIVE bodies have been found in
the river since the first of the
year.
