SPECIAL MENTION.
The health of all the inmates
of the Asylum is now quite good.
The American Banker^s Asso
ciation is tobe heldat Louisi^ille,
■ Oct. 10th and 11th.
Gen Cox says that nowhere
in Europe do the masses equal
our own masses in comfort, hap
piness or intelligence.
Tne North Carolina Press As
sociation is to visit Boston and
the Exposition, leaving Norfolk
Oct. 2nd.
Owing to the abson.e of the
Superintendent we are unable to
acknowledge the contributions
to the Orphan . Asylum this
Rev. Dr. Mundy has resigned
the pastorate of the Baptist
Church at Warrenton, N. C., to
acc«pta Ck ll to Greenville, 8. C.
Rev. P. W. Eason has accep
ted a call to the pastorate of the
Baptist Church at Fayetteville.
We learn from the “Torch-
Light’^ that the town commis
sioners have recently purchased
of Mr. John Johnson ten acres oi
grouj.d lying west of the town
for the purpose of establishing a
iiew cemetery.
Hon Thos Ruffin has tendere i.
his resignation as an Associate
Justice oJ the Supreme Court,oa
account of ill health.
Mr. il, A. Gudger has been ap
pointed a commissioner to repre
sent North Carolina at the Na
tional Conference of Charities
and Correction, now in session at
Louisville, Ky.
Capt. T. C. Williams, secreta
ry of the State Agricultural So-
cioty, publishes a call for a meet
ing of the farmers of the State
at Raleigh, during the State Fair,
to effect an agricultural organ!
zation.
The attention which the North
Carolina exhibit at Boston ha;
attracted has resulted in the re
ceipt by the Agricultural depart
ment of numbers of letters from
Massachusetts people asking for
information about the State.
An editor in Georgia says:
“Gold is found in thirty-six coun
ties in this State, silver in three,
diamonds in twenty-six and
whiskey in all of them, and the
last gets away with all the rest.”
A low wall of rock is now be
ing placed arouiiithe main Asy
lum building. The space within
is to be filled with gravel, thus
forming a terrace about the
building. The bare ground out
side the wall is to be set in grass.
The visits of ministers to tee
Asylum are greatly appreciated.
We are glad always to have them
conduct religious services. We
have been favored with such
visits recently Lorn Revs. W. S.
Hester, R. H. Marsh and Dr.
Baird.
The new Methodist Protestant
Cl urch, called New Rehoboth,
eight miles from Oxford, is to be
dedicated on the First Sunday jn
October. An inter. sting occa
sion is anticipated
The railroads are moving to
have a new standard of time
adopted.which will add the hours
aft er midnight to 12, so that 11
O’clock in the morning wiU be 23
o’clock and noon will be 24 o’clock.
Tlie dials of clocks would have
tb be made into 24 divisions of
time, atid the troublesome A. M.
& P. M. would be avoMed.
Col. A. W. Shafii'er, of Raleigh,
is engaged in the preparation of
a scIioqI map of North Carolina
on a scale of 6^ miles to one inch,
larger than any now in use. It
is to exhibit the . town
ships of I he various counties,and
other features of interest. There
should be a good map of the
State in every school-room in
North Carolina.
• Rev. Walter A. Patillo, a col
ored minister has secured many
signatures to a petition reques
ting that the colored Orphan Asy-
Iqm be located in the vicinity of
Oixford. We believe the com
mittee appointed to decide the
question of locatioi meets iu
Henderson on Saturday next.
Superintendent Mills is this
week in attendance upon the Na
tional Coi.fereuce cf Charities
and Correction, in session at Lou
isville. It is an important meet
ing and we hope will be produc
tive of great good. Gov. Vance,
Ctpt. E. R. Stamps, Hon. J. 0.
Scarborough and H. A. Gudger,
Esq. are associated with Mr.Mills
as representatives from North
Carolina.
A report of the late sevent h
annual State convention of the
Y. -Vj.^s Christian Association,
which was held at Hickoiylast
week says : “The committee on
permanent organization reported
as follows: For President, A.
M. Witherspoon, of Statesville;
Vice President, T. P. Johnson,of
Salisbery, and Dr. Templeton, of
Dallas; Secretary, G. M. Smith-
deal, of Greensboro; Assistant
Secretary, Mr. DeVault, of Ashe
ville . The Raleigh and Charlotte
a sociations sent written re
ports The Raleigh association
is doing quite an extensive bo
ne volent w-:.rk.
A movement has been propos
ed to endow a home for disabled
ex-Confederate soldiers in this
State, A gentleman from Edge
combe, writing to the “News &
0 server,"’ offers to be one of
500 to give ^100 each; Mr. Ec-
eles, of Charlotte, offers to bo an
other of the 500. “A Private in
tlie war between the States”
from Durham puts down $500,
and the Tarboro “Southerner”
$100. This is a fine start. Let
us have the home for our disa
bled sodiers.
EDUCATIONAL.
Alabama has over 200,000 chil
(Iren that are not enrolled at the
public schools.
The most convenient habit you
can acquire is that of letting your
babits sit loose upon you.
A man must stand erect, not to
be kept erect by others.
■ vhoso pul.s money into a good
religious school makes an invest
ment that will pay for time and
eternity.
The Stale fair will be held O’c-
ti her 15th; the Agricultural and
Mechanical fair at Rocky Mount,

P. M. General Gresham comes
down right hard on the Louis
iana Lottery. He has issued an
amended order forbidding post
masters to pay money ordcis
drawn to the order of M. A. Dau
phin, and directing them not to
deliver registered letters bearing
his address. Dauphin in order
to evade the order of the Post
Office Department, advertised
that such letters intended for
him be directed to the Now Or
leans National Bank; but the
l.’ostmaster-Mastor General not
to be outdone, directs that here
after no registered letters bo
delivered to the Jiank, and that
no money orders payable toil be
redeemed, until the Bank gives
satisfactory evidence that it has
abandoned the fraudulent
scheme.
Later.— Since the above was
written the State Court of Lou
isiana has ordered the Poslraas-
ter at New Orleans to deliver
mail matter to the Bank inten
ded for the Lottery. Ho has
been directed by the Postmaster-
General to obey the order until
reversed or modified, and the
United States District Attoi’ncy
at New Orleans has been directed
to take steps for ihe removal of
case from the State Court to the
Federal Court, and to move at
oiic() f(ir a dissolution of the in •
junction.
NEW f DVEETISEMENTS.
We call attention to the now
advertisements in this issus.
W. H. Hughes advertires Chi
na, Crockery, Glassware &c,, for
sale at Raleigh, N. C. and Ports
mouth, Va
J. C. S. Lurasden, Raleigh,

Raleigh, set forth the merits of
their mammoth stock of Diq
Goods, Shoes &c.
Soe also the advertisement of
the Branson House and be sure
to stop there when you visit
Raleigh.
Sheriff Bullock announces tliis
w^eek his appointments for col
lecting taxes. Look it up and
road it.
We cal! apec al attention 1o
the advertisement of the River
Bank Academy in this issue of
our paper. Mr. Lyon, the Prin
cipal, is a faithful and capable
instructor, and the school is sit
uated in a moral and thrifty
neighborhood.
The mark of a modern “student”
of the male sex is a black eye and
a sprained thumb, rather than“the
pale cast of thought” and eye
glasses. Is not this base-ball bus
iness overdone in some institu-
tioiisf
Fastidiousness is only another
form ot egotism, and all men who
know not where to look for truth,
save iu the narrow well of self,
will find their own image at the
bottom, and mistake it for what
they are seeking.
A good school-teacher is a price
less blessing to any community iu
which he discharges the functions
of that liigh calling. Do not
drive such from your midst by a
too rigid economy.
Nature has always resources in
reserve that are waiting for dis
covery. Hence the study of na
ture is full of fresh surprises to
the student. So it ever will be.
There will alwaj^s be an unsolved
secret to baffle the inquiring mind
and the ingenious scientific appa
ratus.
Tennessee has at least one pub
lic school teacher who might be
dispensed with. He goes to his
school barefooted, in his shirt
sleeves, without any collar on, his
shirt bosom open and his pants
rolled up to his knees, notwith
standing the fact he has nearly
grown young ladies among his
scholars. It is said that water
has the same effect upon him as
upon a mad dog.
An Austin .teacher overheard
one of the larger boys in the class
whispering to the boy below bim
tliatthe teacher was a donkey. The
teacher did not get angry at al).
He did not seize the boy by the
collar and draw him over the
desk where he could get at him
conveniently. All the teacher
did was to remark placidly: “Har
ry, I shall mark you deficient in
Natural History, because you can
not distinguish me from a don
key.”
Knowledge is not extempora
neous. It is not a sudden ac
quisition, any more than a ship, a
palace, or a city with "its splendid
mansions, spacious avenues, or ex
tended commerce, are extemporiz
ed creations. Knowledge comes
by endeavors, small, and yet con
tinuously repeated, It grows, as
wealth, by constant increments.
A CHEEREUL VIEW OF THINGS.
‘How dismal you lookl’ said
a Bucket to his compai;i.>n, as
they were going to the well.
‘Ah!’ replied the other: ‘I
was reflecting on the useless
ness of our being filled ; for,
let us go away ever so full,
we always come back empty.’
‘Dear me! how strange to
look at it iu that way!’ said
the Bucket ‘Now, I enjoy
the thought, that, however
empty we come, we always
go away full. Only look at it
in that light, and you’ll be as
cheerful as I am.’
An English traveler in Ireland,
greedy for information, and al
ways fingering the note-book in
his breast pocket, got into the
same railway carriage with a cer
tain liomau Catholic Archbisliop.
Ignorant ot his rank, and only
perceiving that he was a divine,
he questioned him pretty closely
about the state of the country,
whiskey-drinking, etc., etc. At
last he said, “You are a parish
priest yourself, of course?” His
Grace drew himself up. “I was
once, sir,” he answered with icy
gravit\. “Dear! dear!” was the
sympathizing rejoinder; “that ac-
ersed drink, I suppose!”
Peace is the evening star of tlie
soul, as virtue is its sun; and the
two are never far apart.
If you would learn self masleiy,
begin by yielding yourself to the
one great Master.

The ex-Sherift’of Iredell Cnunty, N.
0., Mr. W. F. Wasson, says : “Brown’s
Iron Bitters has improved my digestion
and general health.”
‘I engaged,” said a burly law
yer, “a chaise at Galway to con
duct me some few miles into the
conntrjq and had proceeded some
distance, when it came to a sud
den standstill at the beginning of a
rather steep incline,and the coach
man leaping to the ground, came
to the door and opened it. “What
are you at man? This is not
where I ordered you to stop. Has
the animal jibbed?” “Whisht, yor
honor, whisht!” said Paddy in an
undertone. “I am only desaving
the sly baste. I’ll just baug tlie
door; and the crafty ould cratnr
will think he’s intirely got rid of
yer honor’s splendid form, and
he'll be at the top of the hill in no
time.”
If you make it the rule of your
life to escape from what is disa
greeable, calamity may come just
tho same, and it would be calami
ty falling on a base mind, which
is the one form of sorrow that has
no balm in it.
Mr. M. E. Hawkins, Ridgeway, N.C.,
says,: “My daughter was thin, emaci
ated, with no appetite and much debil
itated. Brown’s Iron Bikers gave her
health,”
