C SATURDAY JUNE .Mes-rs Kuweit and .Marks' marks. R - We publish herewith the beau iful :e mtrks made yesterday in the Court Li us by Hon. Dan'l. L. Russell and Mr. J I Macks, on the occasion of the nietiiig o; the Bar, bell in tender respect aod regan' to the memory of the late Col Win. S. Devane. The resolutions , and Judge Cantwell's reunrks iu preeu'ing them, appeared in our yesterd-iy's is-ue. It was a matter of great regret to us that we could not publish all then, but this was simply impossible, as the meeting was held at too late an hour for its accomplishment. We give the remarks in the order in which tney were made. Mr. Mack said: A variety of circumstances, Mr. Chair man, seems to render it peculiarly appro prUte that I should avail myself of the present mournful ecca on to pay a briet but just tribute to the memory of Col. W. S. Devane. Although the disparity of age was plainly discernible and visible, and although our professional intercourse was of short duration, still our departed friend and brother had endeared him self to mo by his Kind and gentle dispo aition, his noble and manly bearing, and above all by the willingness displayed on every ocoasibn to render advice upon such questions as so often perplex the youoger members of our profession. Sel dom the occasion that he passed our office without coming in to chat a little, urave and thoughtful at one moment, humorous and witty the next, it is not a wonder, then, Mr. Chairman, that one who possessed such t aits could not fail to endear himself to those he came in con tact with. It is unnecessary and at the same time impossible for me to detail to those who knew him longer and better the many virtues that Col. Wm. S Devane possessed, and hence I shall not on this occasion detain you with a repeti tion of his life as written on the pages of history, but shall content myselt by testifying my heartfelt and sincere grief at the loss of one who not alone deemed it a pleasure, but a duty, to assist his younger friends of the profession whenever and wherever called upon. I wreath this garland around the memory of our friend, regretting my inability to do bet ter. He has been called to eternal rest, his presence is sadly missed; may we not hope that he is transplanted from this earthly sphere to neavenly bhs7 My younger brethren of the profession let me en this occasion appeal to you to emulate the virtues of our departed friend so that we will, when it shall please our Heavenly Father to re move us from this world, become as truly missed and our memories revered and honored. I respectfully second the reso lutions of the Committee. Judge Russell spoke after the reopen ing of the Ceurt. His remarks were as follows: I do not feel that I ought to omit this opportunity to give expression to my re gard and esteem for him whose loss we now deplore. Far more than ten years, amid all the struggles of the most ex citing period in the civil history of North Carolina a period of destruction and re construction, ef revolution acd reaction, of fundamental changes in government and convulsions in Society so universal that there wai no man or wonjiau but felt them in their very heartstrings; a period during a part of which, as has been the case iu all countries amid sudden chang s iu the cherished habits and institutions of a people, the passions ol men were aroused and were as intense as if organized war existed ; a period of achievments of follies, of surprises ef exi gencies, when men were hurled and cast about by the storms ol constantly recur ring events which they could not control; when thir minds were as cleudy as the political honzju around them; when all were changing and none consistent; when the lriend ef to day might be the enemy of to-merrow amid ad these strifes and contentions, we maintained a friendship unimpaired and unbroken. Firm aud decided in his opinions on all subjects, he never was tne man to attempt to force them on others by exhibitions of intoler ance or bigotry, fle knew that it was not consistent with our happiness aud welfare that people should be restrained ef the largest liberty ef thinking and acting tor themselves, nor that they should receive their opinions from select teachers. Im bued with this spirit of liberality, he couid ditfei- without hating. Wheu I came to tne Bar in 1866, Co . Deyane was one of the most accurate aud best read law yers in this circuit. Four years of terrible service in the held had not consumed the very considerable legal acquirements of which he had been the master in 18GI. "The wise saws and ancient precedents" ol the lajy came back to him naturally when he returned to the profession after the war. But then the wounds and injuries and dise ses which his physical system had received in the camp aud on the field had scarcely beguu taeir fatal work. Suffering greatly from these cause, as the body yielded to pain the mind in a measure gave w .y . He served his State with exceptional fidelity, and really gave bis blood aud bis life in its service. His life and his death were not leas admirable than they would have been had he fallen on the held of battle, amid the shouts of his victorious soldiers, and leading an army with banners. The quality of this man's character which shone out as promiuently as any other, was his manly, open and intrepid courage. The Emperor Charles the Fifth, ' 1 EEVIEW. I whose opinion of the nature of men is not to be despid not because he was n Emp ror,for Kings and .Einpero s are gn . eraliy made of the smallest and me i, s of mankind, but because he was a grt-a mas er of human nature said that th man wh n. ver knew fer never was b(;rn. Of all men whom 1 hivnever known Wil liam S. Devane earn- as near as any to the ideal bro whose existence was d s puted by the great Spaniard. He had a courage, mori aud physical, which uevpr blanched in the presence of danger, and never shrank under distster. He coulu face danger and death with a calmness and intrepidity such as is given to few mortals. Of suet "sterwr stuff" hetoes and mar'yts are made, th' men whrule the human race from the rack, the stake and the scaf fold. And yet he was warm-hearted, generous tender, genial, afiectionkt , neer forget ting a favor, and preferring to give rather thu to reeeiv. . h m. When stricken by the grim baud of death, he was surround ed by his family with cWo of his little cnnaren on his knee. Trulv "The bravest are the tenderest ; xne loving are the daring." Such a character snines with that swe. t and beautiful radiance which distin guishes the planet of the evening in the Western sky. Col. McRae at Davidson. Hon. Dur e in K. McRu, of this city, delivered the address at Davidson Com mencement on Wednesday. The Char lotte Observer publishes a full report of the proceedings of the day and we extract that portion relative to the address. It says: Dr. Hepburn then introduced the or. ator of the occasion, Hon. Dune in K. McRae, of Wilmington. The speaker ap peared as a man of about fifty years, rather slender, with iron -gray side-whiskers and mustat he, and bright, piercing gray eyes. His subject was the relation of geuius and talent. For an hour and a half he held his audience spell-bound. I am aware that reporters of newspapers bave said the same thing of many speak ers; they are expected to say it often when it is not altogether true; but in us ing this form of expression as applied to Col. McRae, it is used advisedly. His manner is just enough dramatio to merit the elosest attention; his style is elevated and abounds iu attractive sentences of wit and wisdom; now a graphic descrip tion of the genius of Homer, a brilliant comparative picture of Scipij Afrioanus, a touch which seams to bring Shakespeare and Dante to life, a hapfy analysis of the characters of England's four greatest statesmen, of Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Lee and Grant; then a bright sally of wit, a happy hit upon the pretentious wisdom, the ioilies of the day, and a beautiful figure of speech. None could keep from listening; all were sorry when he stopped. The applause throughout was hearty and whole souled. The clapping of hands, which followed the close of the address was renewed when Judge Fowlo walked across the rostrum and oonrat ultated the speaker. That the readers of the Observer may not think that your correspondent has spoken with too much enthusiasm of Col. McRae's etiort. he will quote a re mark of Judge Schenck, who said that it was the most brilliant literary address ho ever heard This opinion is concurred in by many other persons equally capable of judging its merits. North Carolinians are proud of their distinguished eon. I hope to be able to furnish the Obser ver with some extracts from this brilliaut address! At the close of Col. McRae's speech, the audience called ou Judge Fowle, who responded by saying that like one who had been asked bis opinion on some mili". tary matter, he would reply that he oould not speak of war in the presecoe of Han nibal poiutiug towards Col . McRae. This gentleman quickly repsonded that it was hard. y fair to compare him to Han nibs.!, whom he had just described as ugly and ungainly. Another Exodus. Messrs. W. Han stein and Adolph Bear will leave this city on Wednesday next for a trip to the old country. Our young friends propose visiting most of the places of interest across the waters daring their trip and will return about the first of Oc tober They are going on a visit of busi ness aad pleasure combined, i e. they will make it their business and pleasure to bring back a "piece of calico." We wish them a pleasant trip and safe re turn. Sleeping Ca s. Through the courtesy of Capt. James Knight, we were shown a car which the W. C & A R. R. Co. is changing from a Parlor to a Sleeping car, to be run from here to Augusta, Ga. The alteration .nakes the car equal, and in some respects superior, to the ordinary Pullman Cr. This is one of the two cars which wll be changed for the same purpose, to run to the same point. It is being furnished, upholstered and equipped in the best s;y 'e and when completed will make a "soooas" on a night ride to the South agreeable and refreshing.

The National Bell Telephone, See the Repout of the Richmond State Newspaper. We may seem to refer rather frequently to the telephone but it is because we are impressed both with the wonderful character of the discovery and its wide range of useful and beneficial employ ment. Prof. Alex. Graham Bell isj yetsearcely more than a boy under thirty years old, we believe, yet he has reiason to be thankful that, whatever else he may do worth noting, he has already achieved a high place among the world s benefactors Manv examples misht be civen of W S V C ' valuable time saved in emergencies physicians promptly summoned and the like which demonstrate the advantages to Society developed at this comparatively early!stage in the history of the telephone. Perhaps one of the most pleasant in stances of the beneficent results of this invention occurred on Sunday last in con nection with Rev. Dr. Hoge s church, in this city. A member of hn family has for several years been confined to her room as the result of an accident. She has thus been for: these years deprived of the privilege, which too many of us with full use of our limbs value lightly enough, of attending church. Last week a Blake Transmitter was placed upon one of the pillars of the pulpit, almost entirely hidden from sight by a book placed against it, po that its presence was perceived by very few of the congregation. A small insul ated wire ran down inside the pulpit rail and across the angle of a stair, up the waiascoating and along under the top rail out through a gimlet hole in the window frame, and to the top, of the parsonage, passing down through the ventilator into the chamber of the invalid young lady, where it was attached to the ordinary Bell hand-tele-phono Ins perceptibly to all around the little instrument did its work, conveying to the of .the patient sufferer the sounds rjFLthe well-known voice in the pulpit for the first time in long years. Of course' the reverend doctor waa anx ious during tbe morning sermoi, as his thought reverted to the distant listener, to know if she heard, and bts pleasure may be imagined when he learned that the entire service, sermon, prayers, hymns organ and singing hal been p'ai ly audible to the person for whose com fort tbe arrangement had been planned. And in tbe afternoon sermon, in referring to mysterious things in nature, be said: "This little telephone oarries my voice over au invisible wire to the room of one who has not been permitted to enter the house of God for years, and sha hear a every word t say as distinctly as you do-' After tbe service several friends of the lady conversed with her from the pulpit and were informed that she had heard the lowest tones pf the preacher s voice and tbe lowest notes oi iae ergon at the other end ot tne church, and distinguished the different "parts" in the music of the char. jel4 It PLEASE 50TICE.
