There was a pleasant gathering in the parlors at Sherry's ht evening, the oc casion being the final meeting of the sea son of the I'atria Club. Upwards of a hundred members and guests were present to listen to the addresses by S. V. White and G. T. Winston, president of the University of North Carolina, on the question of "The Race Problem in the South " The question as treated by each of the speakers was of deep inter est. "Injustice toward the African race once brought u'fearful heritage of death, bereavement and poverty to our land," said Mr. White. "Throughout our na tional existence there has always been a conscience which recognizes the sacred ness of human rights; and I plead with wy brethren of the South to mould the negro voter by kindness, by education, by magnanimity, into channels which shall enhance the true greatness of the State. Let me urge upon my kinsmen to throw aside prejudice and to strive to lift up, not to trample down, these poor among you." President Winston summed up the race problem in the South by the 'statement that it was a matter neither social nor political, but industrial. "It depends," he said, "entirely upon the capacity of the negro for improvement. Since emancipation he has progressed intellec tually, but not morally nor physically. This want of moral progression in the ne- t'm in one nf the most iliseniirflcim' ftAt. c e--o urcs in tho treatment of the race. The South has a kindlier personal feeling to ward the neuro to-day, however, than the North ever had or ever dreamed of having still there is abundant room in the South for Northern philanthropy. But the elevation of the negro must be accomplished by their own efforts under guidance of their own leaders, assisted by Southern white men who appreciate their virtues and sympathize with their vices." THE WALDEXSES. WOMEN IX BUSINESS. TAKING THE PLACE OP MEN IN MANY PURSUITS OF LIFE. The Washington, D. C, News well says: "The news that a large colony of Waldenscs is about to be established in North Carolina is very pleasant news in deed. The Wa'dencsian Italians are among the best of all the different kinds of Europeans Dwelling in the north of Italy, in the shadow of the noble Alps, , they are a hardy, straightforward, indus trious, virtuous, law-abiding people, celebrated from tho remotest times for their excellent qualities. The arrival of the large band of Watdenesian immigrants is a very different thing from the inroad of a lot of anarchists, or paupers, or jail birds from the slums of European cities. Their idea is to settle in North Carolina on property acquired by purchase, and to become thrifty American citizens, like their neighbors of native American citizens, like their neighbors of nativo American origin. Such immigrants are thrice welcome. They show their good sense by choosing a Southern State for their new home. The West, va;t as it is, has become overstocked iu its most desir able sections of lute years. Moreover, its climate is inhospitable and uncertain. The South is now the El Dorado of the United States, the garden of the republic, and the surest avenue to wealth for every man who has wit enough to make a suo - cess of life under any circumstances whatever." It was a famous saying of Lord Broug ham though attributed by him to some body else unknown that it was the whole end of king, lords and commons, and of the whole machinery of the State, to bring twelve good men together in a jury box, writes, writes T. W. Hieginson in Harper's Bazar. In a similar way it was once said by an experienced Ameri can lawyer that the most important result of all the great recent changes in the po sition of women new laws, new educa tion, new professions would be found iu the ereation of a race of business women, who would look after their own money matters, instead of trusting them utterly to men. It is inevitable that this result must in some degree follow. A race of women brought up to read, write and cipher, to keep books and send business letters, to study constitutional law aud political economy, to sit on school committees and charity boards, to manage tenement houses and prisons, to practice law and medicine, and make their own wills, cannot possibly remain in that State of pupilage which was once the only nat ural condition of their sex. Whether it is pretty or otherwise, graceful or other wise a race of busiuess women is upon us. For observe that it is not needful that each individual woman should do all these in person, or indeed, any of them; the moit secluded woman still feels the effect of the general change, just as the disturb ance of the central waters of a lake finds its way at last, though inOuitesmally,iuto the remotest nook. The social alteration is in the air, in the uewspapcrs, in the whole habit of life. A prominent philanthropist in a city of a hundred thousand inhabitants once called my atteution to the fact, and proved it by comparison of documents, that whereas forty years before all the leading charitable associations of that city had men alone for their officers, they were now chiefly carried on by women, even the office of treasurer being now in femi nine hands. A MARVELOUS POWER. Hood's Cures. In saving that Hood's Sarsaparilla cures, its proprietors make no idle or extravagant claim. Statements from thousands of reliable people of what Hood's Sarsaparilla has done for them, conclusively pro.'e the lHCl- iiuuu 0 uuioayttiii mivsi Hood's Pill's acts especially upon the liver, rousing it from torpidity to its natural duties' cure constipation and as sist digestion. As to devices and inventions for in creased spead of transit, Mr. George Sheffield, of New York, claims to have discovered a motive power that outdoes everything ever before attempted iu this liue, aud Mr. Sheffield is neither a vision ary nor crank, but a practical inventor who Iias in ado and spent a good deal of money out of his patents. His latest motor is said to be simple in construction and requiring small space for its operation, yet of such power as to drive a steamship like the Teutonic across the ocean from New York to Queenstown in three days and a half, or at the rate of over thirty-five miles an hour. To do this will necessitate no big boilers for generat ing steam, nor coal for fuel. All that would be needed for the voyage, says Mr. Sheffield, wuuld be a barrel of ordinary powdered sugar, a barrel of cholarte of potash, and enough sulphurio acid to sup ply the combustion essential to keep the machinery iu motion, the gases formed by the combination of the sugar, potash, and sulphurio acid constituting a force much more powerful and far less dangerous thau steam. That his project is looked upon as no impracticable chimera is evident from the fact that a company capitalized at SI, 000, 000 has been incorporated to promote it, and that 850,000 have already been sub scribed for an experimental demonstra tion of its feasibility. If it prove to be what tho inventor claims for it, it foreshadows a wonderful revolution in methods of transit, the greatest of the age. Let us wait and see, "Secing's believing, isn't it?" says Mr, Sheffield, interrogatively, and in this day and generation surprises have ceased to (surprise. Washington Pust.

We clip tho following from Josephus Daniels' letter from Washington City to his paper, the ltaleigh North Caro linian ; A few nights ago 1 saw a scene that made me indisnant. A congressman from a far western State entered the hotel and as he stood near the clerk's desk, a plainly dressed gentleman walked up to him and said: "Can you spare me a few minutes of you " He did not finish the sentence before the Con gressman said in insulting tones, "No; damn it, I am tired to death of the per sistence of office seekers," and he passed on haughtily, leaving the offiee seeker as tounded and crest fallen. He walked over to the writing room and took a seat on a sofa looking the picture of dejection and desolation. I followed him, inspired by sympathy and a certain attractive sad ness in the man's eye, and sat down on the sofa near him and began reading my paper. Presently I asked him if he had been long in the city, and we full into conversation. To make a long story short he gradually unbossomed himself and, with wet lashes, told mo of the scene I had witnessed. His heart was well nigh broken. It seemed, from his story, that he had been a wealthy aud prosper ous business man with a penchant for politics. The young congressman, who had rebuffed him, was a struggling law yer of his city. He saw he had talent, gave him his business, spent mouey to insure his nomination, and spent more to insure his election. For several years he vr.is the Congressman's right hand man, and all in all had spent all hi fortune to advance his prospects and promote the success of the party. Now, that ho had lost his money and wanted a petty ' posi tion merely to earn his bread he was spurned and ill treated by the man he had helped into prominence and greatness. It was a pitilul story and when tho old man had finished I felt the tears in my own eyes. God pity him and pity the ngrate. 1 he old man had warmed a serpent in his bosom. ANOTHER DECISION. STATE ITEMS. THE NEWS FROM ALL OVER THE STATB IN A CONCISE FORM. The essence of Judge Taft's decision in the Ann Arbor railway case seems to lie in the following extracts taken there from: "The inter state commerce law made it mandatory upou connecting railroads to receive and deliver passengers and freight, and to afford equal facility for tho inter change of traffice. Corporations can act only through their officers, agents and servants, so that mandatory provisions of law which apply to a corparation apply with equal force to its officers and em ployes. An act when done by an individual in the exercise of a right may be lawful, but when done by a num ber conspiring to injure or improperly influence another, may be unlawful. One or more employes may lawfully quit their employers at will, but a combination of a number of them to do so for the purpose of injuring the public and oppressing en ployersby unjustly subjecting them to the power of the confederates of extortion or for mischief is criminal." Very good; this clears the air immense ly. Now let us have a decision to the effect that employers who combine to keep out of employment men who havo once left their employment or engaged in a strike blacklisted them, in short are also guilty of conspiracy for the purpose of depriving the discharged men of a means of livjehood. After the last great strike of telegraphers, a strike that failed, hundreds of meu who hail done nothing but combined for the purpose of attempt ing to secure living wages were "blacklist ed" and driven into other employments. It will also be refreshing to see a judge take ft special train to fly to the rescue of men who may call for such a decisiou as we have indicated. A judge was accom modating enough to do this in the Ann Arbor case, and it was proper that he Bhould provided he paid tor the traiu and was not therefore under "bligatious to the railroad enropiny l"r the public interests ikUiuudcd ln,U-t Jiatc action. But it will only be fair to show equal zeal for individuals as well as for corporations. Mount Airy Methodists are to build a 610,000 church. The New Bern bottling establishment was recently burned. The colored people at Warrenton have opened a skating rink. Baleigh is to have a primary to "ex press a preference" for postmaster. Mrs. Holding, wife of G. A.

The meeting of the North Carolina Teacher's Assembly will begin in More- head on Tuesday, June 20th, and last two weeks. The owners of property in Smoky Hollow, a disreputable resort in Durham, are taking steps to cleanse it of undesira ble people. The colored people of Charlotte are agitating the matter of building a cotton factory to be operated exclusively by colored people.

Johnston has more representatives at the University than any other county in the State. Fourteen of its young men are studouts there. Tho railroads will give special rates to all who wish to attend the Southern Bap tist Convention which meets at Nash ville, Tenn., in May next. It is said that Dr. Keelcy has sold out his formula and all his rights, property, etc,, of the bichloride of gold cure for drunkeness for 810,000,000. Fayettevillo is having water works put iu.
