ENQUIRER-SUN COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1800.
EVENING AT THE FARM.
Me twilight rises end with hurried pace
Fast follows where the red son kissed the send;
With misty touch oooceals his last warm trace.
And blows her softening dusk breath o'er the
land.
The drowsy bird note dies upon the breeze;
Shy flowrets lock their faces from the daw;
The shadow falls no longer from the trees
Where sport tired lambkin rests, or sober ewe.
The barnyard clamor ceases, kine are fed;
The soil flecked field horse mnnehes in his stall;
The watch dog turns him' to his straw lined shed.
Nor deaf through sleep to faintest danger call.
Within the &rm house porch in dreamy mood.
The day worn toiler takes his well earned rest,
While huddling youngsters watch with round
eyes shrewd
To catch the dustman in his evening quest.
It is the hour for silent spirit bands
To speed with white winged prayer—now per
fect grown,
As day’s king, Labor, folds his weary hands,
Nor yet has beckoned Slumber to his throne.
—Josephine Puett Spoonts in New Orleans Times-
Democrat.
She Caught a Mouse. '
Sunday evening a gentleman and his
wife, who live on a street pretty near
the tunnel, attended evening service at
the Fourth church and took seats in the
gallery. The service was about hall
over when they were annoyed by a con
tinued tittering and scuffling hack o 1
them, and looking around they saw sev
eral girls standing upon the seats, while
a number more^ were moving uneasily
about as if trying to avoid some danger.
Just then the word “rats,” uttered in a
stage whisper, partially solved the
trouble, and the man turned toward his
wife. His wife is mortally afraid ol
rats and mice, and the mention of the
word “rats” sat her to thinking.
Presently the people in the gallery be
gan to leave, but the scuffling continued
until the lady whispered to her husband
that they, too, had better go. So they
arose and left, and the lady breathed
freer when she reached the street. When
they arrived at home they were laugh
ing at the incident, when the lady
screamed and jumping into a chan
grasped something in the folds of hei
dress. “It’s the mouse,” she said to hei
husband as she clung to her garment.
She was right, too, but it was dead,
probably from the clutch she gave in hei
excitement.—Hartford Courant.
Editor Warner on the Slot Macbine.
Charles Dudley Warner, while moral
izing upon -a well known tendency of
modern times in Harper's, has some
thing to say regarding the possible
future development of some recent fa
miliar inventions. “Perhaps,” says he,
“we may expect a further development
of the ’slot’ machine. By dropping a
cent in the slot one can get his weight,
his age, a piece of chewing gum, a bit ol
candy or a shock that will energize his
nervous system. Why, not get from a
similar machine a ‘good business educa
tion,’ or an ‘interpretation’ of Browning,
or a new language, or a knowledge of
English literature? But even this would
be crude.
“We have hopes of something from
electricity. There ought to be some
where a reservoir of knowledge, con
necting by wires with every house, and
a professional switch tender, who, upon
the pressure of a button in any house,
could turn on the intellectual stream
desired. There must be discovered in
time a method by which not only infor
mation, but intellectual life, can be in
fused into the system by an electric cur
rent. It would save a world of trouble
and expense.”
Long Prayers.
An Irish priest at Annnergau told the
following story of his bishop: His lord-
ship and a chaplain came to see the
Passion play. They would fain have
had a room each, but this was not possi
ble. They knelt down separately to say
their prayers by their little cots, and
presently it crossed the mind of the
chaplain that it would not be well to
make his orisons shorter than the bish
op’s, and he glanced over his-shoulder to
see if his lordship was about to make an
end.
The bishop, presumably anxious not
to scandalize his chaplain by the short
ness of his prayers, also glanced over his
shoulder and waited. The process was
repeated several times. Both suppli
cants were very »I red, and in time both
fell asleep. They were found in the
morning on their knees still and sleep
ing.—Pall Mall Gazette.
Quite a Traveler for a Turtle.
W. E. Hellenbrand. of Oldtown, came
into possession of a turtle lately at
Pushaw, which bore upon it the evi
dence of having reached years of discre
tion and of having been—for a turtle—
quite a traveler. It was marked “J. W.
Sewall, 1871,” and Mr. Sewall remem
bers that when camping in his boyhood
on Pushaw lake he found the turtle near
the outlet and cut his name upon its
shell. The animal was found a short
time ago in the “Tkorofare,” near Orson
island, some sixteen miles from its
former place of capture, showing that it
had traveled on the average about a mile
each year. Mr. Hellenbrand's son Wal
ter marked it and released it for further
adventure.—Bangor (Me.) ComrnerciaL
The Oldest Place in America.
“Do you know the oldest place in all
America?” said Gen. John B. Hender
son, of St. Louis, to a circle of friends.
“I don't mean the oldest town in the
country or on the continent, but the land
first found on the western hemisphere.
.No? Well, I thought not. It is Mount
Marcy, in the Adirondack mountains.
Agassiz and other geologists have fig
ured out that Mqunt Marcy was the
point of land that made its appearance
first above the water when the western
hemisphere was evolved.”—Chicago Her
ald.
True Happiness.
Mrs. Muggers—I see a prominent soci
ety belle is dead. If there ever was a
perfectly blissful existence on earth she
enjoyed it while she lived.
Mr. JJ aggers—Because she was a so
ciety . **Ue? \
Mrs. Muggers--No; because she was
engaged twenty-four times and never
married.—New Yot;k Weekly.
A DEAF MUTE COLLEGE.
DEGREES CONFERRED ON STUDENTS
WHO CANNOT HEAR.
The Wonderful Progress In the Education
of the Deaf and Dumb—The Curriculum
of the National College at Washington.
Some of th? Work Done.
Very little is known about the ancient
treatment of the deaf, but Aristotle is
credited with saying somewhere in his
musty works that the deaf are wholly
incapable of receiving intellectual in
struction. History tells us, however,
that deafness was sometimes deemed a
visitation of divine wrath, and that the
poor victim was frequently destroyed to
save the family honor, or was classed
with the idiotic or insane and treated as
an outcast. This opinion must have
prevailed many centuries, for it was
within the last 150 years that it was dis
covered that the deaf were capable of
receiving intellectual instruction.
A college for deaf mutes was founded
in the city of Washington about twenty-
six years ago to combat the popular
prejudice. The college grew and thrived.
Few people know anything about the
National Deaf Mute college, or the Co
lumbian Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, as it is known officially, at Ken
dall Green, Washington. A man who,
had he lived 1,000 years ago, might have
been roasted because he could neither
hear nor speak today studies moral phi
losophy, the calculus and ancient and
modem languages, and graduates from a
college with a degree.
THE COLLEGE.
The Columbia institution was incor
porated in 1857, and has since then been
sustained by congress as an institution
where deaf mute children living in the
District of Columbia and children of
soldiers and sailors should receive free
education. Ample provision is also made
for deaf mutes from the states and ter
ritories, who have not the means of de
fraying the expenses of tuition, which
amount to $250 a year. The institution
continued for seven years as an ordinary
high school, hut in 1864 it was decided
to organize a collegiate department, and
congress passed an act authorizing the
institution to confer collegiate degrees.
The institution was then divided into
two departments, the school and the
National Deaf Mate college. In one of
his annual reports Dr. Edward M. Gal-
laudet, the president of the college, says:
“The object of the directors in estab
lishing a school of this grade, thus tak
ing a step unprecedented in the history
of deaf mute instruction, was in part to
prove what had been doubted by some,
that persons deprived of hearing and
speech could, in spite of their disability,
engage successfully in the advanced
studies pursued in colleges for the hear
ing. The more important end in view,
however, was to afford to a class of per
sons in the community, already numer
ous and increasing steadily with the
population, an opportunity to secure the
advantages of a rigid and thorough
course of intellectual training in the
higher walks of literature and the lib
eral arts.”
The best evidence of the success of the
movement can be found in this parar
graph from the annual report of 1887,
which tells what pursuits some of the
graduates followed;
WHEEE THE GRADUATES GO.
“Fifty who have gone out from the
college have been engaged in teaching,
one has entered the ministry, three have
become editors and publishers of news
papers, three others have taken positions
connected with journalism, ten have en
tered the civil service of the govern
ment, one while filling a position as in
structor in a western institution has
rendered important service to the coast
survey as a microscopist, two have be
come accomplished draughtsmen in arch
itects’"offices, one has been repeatedly
elected recorder of deeds in a southern
city, and two others are recorders’ clerks
in the west.
“Another has been elected city treas
urer and is at present cashier of a na
tional bank, one has become eminent as
a practical chemist and assayer, two
have taken places in the faculty of their
alma mater and are rendering valuable
service as instructors, some have gone
into mercantile and other offices, some
have undertaken basiness on their own
account, while not a few have chosen
agricultural and mechanical pursuits in
which th©> advantages of thorough men
tal training will give them a superiority
over those not so well educated.”
Congress has been liberal with the
institution. In 1881 a fine gymnasium
was completed, which cost $14,600,
Most of the students in the college are
graduates of the lower department of
the institution, but not a few received
their early education in separate local
schools. v The entire curriculum, includ
ing an introductory year, embraces a
period of five years. Candidates for ad
mission to the introductory class are ex
amined in these subjects: The com
mand of English as shown in oral or
finger-spelled conversation; in rendering
at sight paragraphs selected from school
books and from newspapers; in extem
poraneous English composition; arith
metic; history of the United States;
history of England to the beginning of
the reign of Henry VH; political
geography; physical geography, and ele
ments of natural philosophy.
The curriculum of the college is about
the same as that of any other college. It
includes mathematics, English, Latin,
Greek, history, zoology, botany, chem
istry, physics, physiology, French,
German, logic, mental and moral
science and political philosophy. The
degrees which the college has conferred
are: Bachelor of arts, bachelor of
science, bachelor of philosophy, master
of arts, master of science and doctor of
philosophy.—New York Son.
CLOSE CONTEST. I
Chicago, November 13.—A special j
from Pierre, S. D., says: In many of the
counties the election of members of the
; Legislature has been so close that an offi
cial canvass is necessary to determine who
was elected. Corrected returns have been
received from about all the counties in
doubt, and it is beyond question that the
Legislature lost in both branches to the
Republicans. The House will probably
give four majority for the Democratic. In
dependent, Fusionists, while the Senate
will have not less than three, giving them
seven majority on a joint ballot to elect
United States Senator.
THINKS INGALLS WILL GET IT.
Atchison, Kans., November 13.—W. J.
Buchanan, chairman of the Republican
State central committee, in an interview
yesterday, said: “I have no doubt Ingalls
will be re-elected. I could, were I so in
clined, give the names of the men who will I
vote for and elect him.” i
