••I tell my people that the far-mers

their time going to conventions and
all these meetings and stay on

They wanted nn- to be at a gather-ing

me to preside. They said they
were going to get together and!

the agricultural community and
the best means of improving it.|
' Well. I wouldn't go. I told them I

; This Looks Bad for a North Carolina
Institution.
Advices from Charlotte, N. C,
say: The board of missions a,
Pittsburg, Pa., which furnishes the
means for carrying on Biddle
! University, has asked the resigna-tion
of President Johnson and two;
I of the professors in order to put in
I their places—Sander, of Wilming-
; ton. as president : Grunkc. of Wash- f
! ington, and Brooks as professors.
The hoard of trustees, in which are
1 several prominent citizens of Char- j
I lotte, has declined to indorse this
action of the Pittsburg board.
A meeting of the trustees from
Pittsburg and the trustees of this
place was held yesterday. The I
I Southerners entered an earnest
proles' against, the election of a
negro president, as the follege lias
always been under the rule of
white i ii ii. but the Pittsburg board
outvoted the Southern board and
the negro was elected. The white
professors immediately resigned:
also the gentlemen composing the
Southern board of trustees.
EXPLOITS OF A STAGE ROBBER.
He Contrives to Make Some of His
Victims Assist in Another Crime.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16.—Henry
B. Miller, stage robber of Arizona,
was registered at the City Prison
last night by Sheriff Paul, of Ari-zona.
About 3i years ago Miller
ran short of money, and went on
the road between Florence and Casa
Grande. While waiting for a
stage Dr. Hurley, of Florence, and
his coachman drove along the road,
and were halted by Miller. The
highwayman robbed the doctor and
his man of if-'ii. and then compelled
them to assist in holding up the
stage.
After driving their team into
the brush he tied their hands be-hind
them, put masks on their fa-ces,
and ordered them to stand in
the brush by the side of the road.
While they were in this position a
man named Saix drove up. After
he hail contributed 926 to swell Dr.
Hurley's contribution he was treat-ed
in the fame manner as the oth-ers
and took his position in the
brush.
When the stage arrived Miller
stood on the road and ordered the
driver to stop. The latter did so
without waiting to he urged, and
threw out the mail pouch and ex-press
box. Miller then released
his unwilling assistants and sent
them after the stage.
They reported at once at Flor-ence,
and a posse went out and ar-rested
Miller. He was tried for
robbing the express company, and
was sentenced to twelve years in
Viima jail. While there, he says,
he was approached by a United
States postal inspector, who told
him that if he made good the
amount stolen from the mail bag
the charge against him would be
dismissed. Miller says he paid
the money in January of this year,
and was pardoned by the Governor
of the Territory.
He went to Los Angeles and se-cured
work, but ill the latter part
of February he was rearrested. ta-ken
to Florence, tried on a charge
of robbing the United Stales mail*.
convicted, and was sentenced lo
ten years in San Client in. In com-pany
with the deputy Sheriff he
started for prison, but while wait-ing
for a train the deputy fell
asleep and Miller managed to es-cape.
A blacksmith furnished him
with a tile to take oil' his anklets.
He started across the desert, lie
su tiered severely for want of wa-ter.
In desperation he bit into his
flesh ami sucked his lliood. which
gave him strength enough to keep
on until be reached a w 'er hole in
the desert.
He sti'.ed at this well for a day
and drank so much that it made
him sick. Fearing that be would
die, he crawled to a settlement and
asked for assistance. His descrip-tion
had been furnished by the
sheriff, and he was placed under
restraint until Sheriff Paul arrived
to take him. Marks of his teeth
still show in his flesh.

Governor Jackson, of Missouri,
was a great favoriate among the
fair sex. His lirst wife was a Miss
Sappington. His second wife was
a Miss Sappington. sister of his
lirst wife. His third wife was also
a Miss Sappington, sister of his
lirsl and second wife. When he
came the third time to ask old
Col. Sappington for his daughter
the i 'oloncl said :
-Jackson, you have been here
three times now, and I haven't any-thing
left but the old woman. I
suppose you will come for her next.
but I give you due notice that she
is my own private property and you
can't have her."
Governor Jackson laughed im-moderately
at the Colonel's joke,
but he never had occasion to make
