ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOO
Historic Ground on Which the Young Men of Louisiana Receive
 Their Training.

The Louisiana state university and agricultural and mechanical college is known as the military college of the south, says the Baltimore Sun. It is To- cated at Baton Rouge. and numbers among it's graduates many men who are now officers in the regular army. Gen. w. T. Sherman was the first president of the institution before the civil war, and, notwithstanding his espousal of the northern cause, his memory is still rev. cred at this scene of his former labors, and his life-size portrait in oils occupies prominent place in the handsome as- sembly hall of the college
 The site of the university is historic ground. It was for many years mill itary post, and the garrisons of France, England, Spain and the United States have all at different periods occupied it. After it was abandoned for military purposes it was turned over to the state of Louisiana for purposes of education. The original buildings, however, still stand, and, with the flag floating over them, present a striking and beautiful appearance.
 Here, in 1779, Calves, the Spanish gov- ernor general of Louisiana, after an en- gagement that lasted for three days, cap tured the British garrison. The Span iards were in turn driven out by party of Americans, and this marked the passing of west Florida from the do- main of Spain. In 1861 the confeder- ates captured the post, and the next year a desperate battle, involving both land and sea forces, was fought near by, and the confederate ram Arkansas was blown up in the view of the land bat teries.
 Many distinguished officers served here while it was still military post. Among those whose names are associ- ated with the place are Wilkinson and the first Wade Hampton, Winfield Scott and Zachary Taylor, Grant and Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Mcclellan and Joe Johnson, Bragg, Rosecrans, Longstreet, aarney, Thomas and Beauregard, For rest and Phil Sheridan, Hardee and Hood, Hancock and Custer, Admiral Porter and Bishop Gen. Polk. Among the great civilians we recall the names of Abraham Lincoln. Clay and Calhoun and Jefferson Davis. There is hardly a place elsewhere in the south so rich in historic associations.
 The university is true to it's traditions. The sons of Louisiana are soldiers by in. heritance, and while they revere the cause for which their fathers fought, nS northern boys are to-day more loyal to the flag which is lowered at sunset every evening to the well-known strains of retreat, while on parade of over 300 ca dets stands on parade at attention. Everything about the university is con- ducted on military lines, and by means of frequent inspections a proper system of discipline is constantly maintained

CURIOUS HABITS OF WRITING.
The scribblins Microbe Never Leaves One After 1t Gains
 Lodging.

The habit of writing is a curious habit and one which may not be out grown" said an old scribbler, in the New Orleans Times-Democrat "1t seems to be born in the blood. It is a part of the nature of some men to write things. Early in life they begin to yield to an inclination to jot things down; to scribble off a few thoughts at idle mo- ments, and between times, as it were; to versify bit; to philosophize; to put down maXims and aXioms, and to scrawl thousand and one little nothings which appeal to the fancy from time to time. Once acquire the habit and 1t is thine for aye. No amount of change in life's course; no upheavals of fortune no sudden shifts of fate and destiny; no nothing that may come with the feet ing years will ever once break the mind from the bent which prompts it to trace in the queer curling symbols which roll out from the pencils point the little playful nothings about which the soul is wont to dream.
 Dainty, delicate children are these little vagrants which one idly scrawls into existence between times. Often they are bright, deep, subtle and of the verities; sometimes they are morose, gloomy, of that sterner stuff which feeds the soul of the hungry pessimists; some times as light and airy as the very foam which bursts laughingly around the ankles of Aphrodite; but whether light, or profound, whether gay or sad, these things of mental loafng, these little pet nothings of mental vagabondage, are scintillants which cheer and amuse fellow as he hurries on from one mile- post to another An, for the habit of writing! It pays when the bank fails
 pays in the sweet consolation one may know from close communion with one's own soul, for man hath not known his soul until it glare at him in such cheap symbols as he may employ in efforts, always short of weight, to speak It's weighty sentiments"

A Tall One.

An American in Paris was one day looking at the Eiffel tower, when he was accosted by an enthusiastic French man with: "Ah! my friend, that is a beautiful tower, and I ooubt very much whether you have anything to beat 1t in America"
 "Wal, stranger" replied the Amer ican, q guess it's good for France, but in America we have tower so high that we have to lower the top at night"
 Lower the top at night?" replied the Frenchman. "For what reason?"

River Notes.

Dnring the past winter the lighthouse
at MARYLAND Point, in the Potomac river,
was badly damaged by the moving ice,
and much of the riprap work around 1t
was Carried away by the ice. The damage
to the light has been repaired, and the
lighthouse authorities are now preparing
to renew the stone riprap about the stroct-
ure. The tug NJ. Mitchell Davis has
taken large floating derrick machine
into Occoquan for the purpose OF loading
broken stone upon lighters to be carried
to the light and deposited on all sides OF
the structure. The riPraP will be made
very heavy in order to better resist the
power Of the drifting ice during the win
tiers to come.
Wikerson's wharf, short distance

Hot Wave Passes Away.

The torrid wave which had been in
evidence since last week suffered a col
lapse last night, and this morning broke
rainy and with decided change in con-
ditions, the temperature being much
lower. Late yesterday afternoon there
were indications of thunderstorm, but
the clouds passed over leaving but little
rain in their transit. There were some
thunder and lightning, but by no means
of a severe nature. There was some
reason to believe, however, that more
pronounced storms ragged somewhere in
the vicinity. West and north of Alex
andria the storm was severe, and one ia
taiity from lightning is reported. Mrs.
Eliza Putnam, wife of S. w. Putnam, a
Waterman in the War Department at
Washington, was killed by the electric
fluid in her house near Munson's Hill
about 5 O'Clock. She was alone In the
house when the storm came up. The
lightning completely wrecked one side OF
the house. but did not set ii on fire. Mrs.
Putnam was evidently standing near the
top of the cellar stairs when she was
struck. Her body was found greatly
bruised in the cellar, at the bottom of the
stairs, when the storm was over. Inc
interior of the house was completely
wrecked. Mrs. Putnam was about forty
wears old and leaves a husband and three
children, one baby few months old.
At the time of the storm the children
were playing in an outbuilding near the
house and returned after the storm to
find their mother dead.

Shot at Burglar.

Mr.. Robert Prettyman, living on AL

disco,ered negro man endeavorng to
enter the rear part of his residence last
night. and after having procured pistol
started after the trespasser. He pointed
the weapon in the direction of the man
and fired. The intruder made his es-
cape, and it is not known whether or not
he was injured by the bullet from Mr..
Prettyman's pistol. Mr.. Prettyman en-
deavored to discharge the pistol at the iu-
gitive the second time, but while "break-
ing" the weapon in order to examine
the cartridges the pistol was discharged,
and the index finger of Mr.. Prettyman' 5
right hand was painfully and seriously
Injured, the bone having been broken
and the finger lacerated. He procured
surgical assistance and it is believed no
serious results will follow, although the
injury has caused him considerable pain
