This lussocia tiou of our druggists in for the pub lie good and idiould be encouraged And wmtained. The association has been duly incorporated by the Legis lature and its object (a expressed i" Section 313(5 of The Code) "is to fuite the phai uiacbsU and druggists' of this State for mutual aid, encour agement and improvement, io en courage Hck-'ititic research, develop pharmaceutical talent, to elevate the stiindmdof professional thought, and ultimately restrict the practice of pharmacy to pioperly iputlitied xlnig gists and apothecaries." Tlie public geneiaily are especially interested in the lust elaase of the above, that is. in restricting "the practice of phar macy to prspeily tpiuiiticd di ug gists." It is very right and proper t'hut our law-iinikcrs hltould endeavor o protect the people from the fatal mistakes of incompetent druggists, ami He highly approve of the enact liienls made for that purpose, as con tained in The" Code. Vol. II. chapter At the annual meeting held lust neck an old Cliatliamite. Mr. If 15. florne, of Fayct I exilic, was elected president of the association for the ensuing year, which was an honor most, worthily bestoxved. Tiik Hi.-ToiiY and geography of Noith Carolina should be nioie thor oughly taught to th) children of the State. Every child should lent u all about the important actors and events in his Slate's history, and should also be familiar with the location and boundaries of every county. ;!,c 'uuhch of the '.".e.iittx scats, important towns, river, mountain. Vc. di course we do not. wish to underesti mate the importance of learning his nry and geography crneti'IIy- -of foreign countries and other States of llie Union but we desire toitnpitss the especial uoed of a more tin-rough knowledge of our own State. In an Klitv column x c iopy troni tiie News and Observer some inierostiiig infm--matiou us to the ougiti of the names :f the counties of North Carolina, arid w e doubt not tins information will be entirely new to nine tenths of our readers, simply because such faetsliiive not been suiiicic nt !y t iulit jli our schools. It has often been said that Noith Carolinians have le.-s State pride than the citizens of other (it ut i-s. ami this niny be on account of their ignoialice of their State's his tory and lewoiirce-i. Let the teach ers of the lisinj; to remove this. The I'iuti F.xtit held at (ireens Itoro' lust week was n'l'tc a success iiotii in tiie quality and iiiantity of the fruit exhibited and also in the number of visitors in attendance. Among Ui premiums a'.xarded we are pleased to notice tlnxt some were to ci.izcns of this county, but this is usually the case when Chatham ft nit competes with that of ot Ik r counties. The address delivered by Hon. James V. Keid has been much compliment ed, as all his addresses are. He stated that the magnitude of the Aait b'.siness may no estimated when it is declared that about SloH.tlno worth of fruit trees are shipped every year from Guilford county. The name of the association that holds rhe anuuiii fruit fair was changed to tiie North Carolina Horticultural So ciety. The fair next year xvill be hold at l'avettexilie. The Aistuias government has re fused to receive Mr Keiley. who was appointed by President Cleveland, as llie United States Minister to that couutiy. The reason alleged for this refusal is that Mr. Keiley 's xvii'e is a Jewess, and could not be received tit -ii,rt: but the true reason is that tiie Austrian Emperor is afraid that his reception of Mr. Keiley miht olVeml the King of Italy, whose father was .nice denounced by Mr. Keiley in a public speech. We hope that Presi dent Cleveland xvill not only not ap point another man iu Mr. Kciiey's place, but also dismiss the Austiian Minister at Washington. This coun try can survive an interrupt ion of diplomatic relations with Austria, and bo none the worse for it. The dk.ati of Mi. J. J. Litchfoid at lUlcigh hist week will be heard with much i egret by his many friends throutrhout the Slate. He was a man whom we knew xveil and held in high esteem, and upon our visits to Ihiioigh j heieafter we shall sadly miss his; cordial greeting and cheery counten-1 Knee. For many years past he had been the secretary of the democratic ; Si ate executive committee, and was! 8 tireless utid indefatigable winker I ill eveiy political campaign.

Iudian Agent i Hobiuson's first woik is in Wisccm i sin. lie has been ordered tlnre to 'settle with the 'Winiiebiigoes. j After an arduous .-ix months ctun ; paign with the office-seekers. Senutor Hansom left the city yesterday, and j xvill take a well -earned rest until the ; Administration returns from its vaca tion. He has spent hardly an idle I moment sinco the adjournment of j Congress, and his hand is visible in j every North Carolina appointment i made bv the new Administration. ' The President's go slow policy is 'still maintained, despite Democratic ! protests and personal importunities, j He has been deceived, and cotiso jipiciitly moves cautiously. He ctin ' not he 'hurried. He has a marvelous way of finding out things, and the ; accuracy of his information is some times stalling to the expectant office seeker. Yet nolxvithstaiiding his j caution he is sometimes deceived. It j has just transpired that a convicted : horse thief has been appointed to an ; important office iu Colorado. The : scoundrel was endorsed by promt ' neiit Republicans und his appoint ment was made upon their recom mendation. Among his endorsers the late Secictary of the Interior Teiier is prominent. And in this 'connection it can hardly be pleasant to i he President, as he sits musing in the soft txvilight of the Adiion ' ducks, that txvo of his judicial ap pointments are rrgai ded by the knowing ones as tilling the exact specitieaiious ot' the case which ! brought out his recent indignant ietier to one of the men who endors ed the applicant's pnpci s. The woods stem loin fuii i:i' had timber this year. these things will suggest an all sufficient explanation of the delay ; in l ending appointments. Those xx ho kuoxv him concede to kimrtat xx i.-doin. lb; has gone to New York for a month's .ii-.tl i--u. but it is thought the I Vtinici ;it ic fences in that State causes more solicitude than his health. The iiiugxviimp vote is stiil an iu-tcic-ting factor, ami both parties are b.dding for it. The President's vig oious civil service reioini policy has a. li mited 1 inocials. and it remains to be seen how many niug'.t t.icp xotes it has inputted. The kind of civil it-lot In lioxv on tiial is a stupcll ' doit fraud.

A foini of moilitii .'ition of the law xvhich sei iii- to have a good many supporters is to amend it so as to provide that utter a candidate shad have passed an examination l.e or .he shall be eligible to appoint ment without the foi inula of having the muni sent up by tiie v!!:luissioii. For instance a man passes exainiua tion ami gets a certilicaie that h" i deemed competent bv the board for service in t!ve gox'i rnincnt ei: ploy. He can go with that certllicate and ask foi appoinlineiit. and if the up-pi-luting poxver .-et s lit to select him. that shall be iega!. Under the iaxv its it now stands the power of ap pointment is vested ill the commis sion. This is el. a;ly an usurpation of power. The law is unconstitu tional. Col.

If machinery has given the rich man luxuries, it has ' given the poor man the necessaries and comforts of habitation, and cloth ing, and travel, such as he never had before. The pi intiug press, especial ly, is the poor mail's servant and , benefactor, scattering abroad our in tellectual wealth, Jaisiug all to an i intellectual level, and binding all into ione xx hole.
