The Preparatory Department OP THE INDIANA UNIVERSITY Will begin its thirteenth academical year at the opening of the Uniiversity, Sept. 3, 1885. Entrance examinations will be held in the Uaiversiiy building, Sept. 2nd and 3rd. Owing to the fact that this
Department of the University has
severed its connection with the High School of this city, there has been
some modi neat ion ot its course oi
instruction. As, a preparatory
school, its curriculum embraces on-
those studies which are essential
to the advanced work of the Uni
versity. The amount of time re
quired for the completion of its
course ot study is only two years, for the reason that experience has
shown that the average student can be properly fitted for satisfactory collegiate work in this period. This is a point in this utilitarian age which should not be overlooked by any one exiecting to attend school the coming year ; because it means, 1st, Economvof both time and money; 2d, Vigorous and earnest labor in acquiring the essentials of practical education ; 3d,
A short and sure step to the business activities of lift-; 4th, Longer
time For wider and more varied
culture through the facilities offered by the University. In addition
to these thoroughly practical considerations, preparatory students
will prohobry be entitled to the many and various privileges en
joyed by University students; all m m a M 11 3 a.
ot wnicn oner no small inaucemem to any one wishing to -acquire an education. It is believed that the prestige of Frep. pleasure and fame still asserts itself and that prospects of a large attendance at the opening of school in September are unusual-
good. Accordingly the prepar
atory instructors will be glad to
welcome to the new preparatory
building all of their old pnpils oi
last year and all new ones wishing a pleasant and speedy transit to the opportunities and advantages of the
University.

THE McKINNEY MATTER. At the aequest of tho County Commissioners, who guaranteed expenses, Silas Grimes and Frank Dobson went to Texas a few days ugo after L. E. McKinney. They secured a requisition from Gov. Gray on the Qovernof of Texas for authority to make the arrpst. When they reached Albany, McKinney
was gone, no one knew were, xi is said that McKinney was arresicd by the Sheriff ot Albany, on the wired instructions of the Secretary of State for Texas, and was placed in jail, but set at liberty by the Judge of the Court on the writ of Habeas Corpus, on the plea that the Sheriffs at Albany lacked authority, which could be presented as evidence for the arrest. Coburn McKinney was glad to see tho boys from Monroe and thought his father would be too, if they would wait till he came home. They didn't wait, and are now back in Monroe county ready to tell about their trip. The Normal School will close Friday with a Spelling Match and
general exercise. Members of the school, and several outside of the
school will take part in the exercises, and quite a lively time may be expected. The boys will spell against the girls. Besides the Normalites, the following citizens and students have been chosen to spell: Mrs. Bicknell, Miss Ballentine, Miss Bowen, Miss Spencer, Miss Jennie Bryan, Misses Stradcr, Hendrix, Hight, Porch, Berry, Misener Seward, Payne Foster, Sallie Adams ; Messrs.

of Elder Gardner of Salem, Ind., in the year 1817, from a comatose state of mind, she seemed to wake up and view the realities as they were,and her brighest though: and: moments, was just at the close of Ufa. She had strong consolation in the Word of God, and her fervent exhortation to heir friends, to meet her in Heaven, will long to remembered by them.

Fred. Douglass states that he s been invited to deliver his lec
ture on "Emancipation" at four or
five points in Indiana, and that, he will soon begin. The "boss" hammock is made of barrel staves, nicely painted and hung bv ropes, it is said to be much more comfortable than those made of twine and rope alone. A correspondent of Home and Farm gives the following as a cure for chicken cholera.: Take the weed known as dog-fennel, or daisy, and make a strong tea, and give it to
the chickens to drink, instead of
fresh water. Keep them confined
and allow them to have no other water, and they will sorm drink this tea. It will cure the sick ones and prevent the well ones from taking the cholera. It is a good plan to gather the weed and dry in the
shade, so as to have it iu case of
cholera. The sanitarians now advise that all drinking water should be
boiled smartly for half an hour, to destroy tbe germs of disease which aie communicated to the system
through water more than in all
other ways. This is especially to
be commended in all cases where
the drinking water is at all suspic
ions in its quality. When cooled by ice it loses the insipidity which the boiling imparts. It is claimed
that the use ot boiled water tor drinking affords immunity for cholera where it is prevalent. It's amusing, when soliciting, to have a man say, "It dosen't pay to advertise." Why does that man put out a sign ? That's advertising. Why does he obstruct the pavement in front of his store with samples of goods he sells? That's advertising, too. Why does he daub the head of a mackerel barrel or dry goods box with the words "Alt oUr goOds cheAp," and stick it up in a keg of beans or a pile of calico in
his store? Why does ha place his
name on fence boards, paint them on the pavement and insert them
in street gutter pamphlets? That's
advertising, but it is of that kind that never brings any returu.

He says he goes from here to Bloomington, Ills., and that the Forepaugh Show, for which he is press agent, will head for Texas. The unprecedented cotton crop is going to make the south boom this season, ana the shows will give them a chance to spend their money. A statement was publicly made in town a month ago that several graduates of the University had failed, on application, to secure licenses to teach in the common schools. A diligent inquiry failed to discover any of the graduates who had attempted the examination. Five members, of the class of '8o passed the July examination, two gentlemen aud three ladies. The gentlemen, who arc teachers of several years ejiporicnce, got 3fi months license, and the three ladies each
got a 12-months license, two of
them getting grades which entitled them to 24 months. Un iversity graduates may be relied upon, as a rule, to take the lead as teachers. A middle aged man with a half dozen children following him, stepped into Faris Bros, drug store and got a half dozen almanacs,
which he stewed away in his left-
hip pocket with a look ot contentment as he remarked he was "layin' in his winter's readinV He spoke the truth. There are hundreds of just such heads of families, whose only mental food through the long winter months is the almanac with its stale jokes and comic pictures.
