Matters.
The fair is over, and it was a suc
cess.
The Governor and others spoke
on Tuesday.
Prof. Langston spoke Oft Weenes
day, and it was a btg day.
Senator Blair spoke on Thursday,
also O Hunter and E L Thornton,
the coming orator.
Mr Johnston White left last Mon
day night to enter the medical school
at Raleigh.
Mis* Delia Toole returned to St
Augustine lost Monday night.
Miss Mary Barner and Mrs. Della
Evans left on Monday night for the
fair at Raleigh.
Revs D J Saunders and W A Al
exander, of Wilmington, passed
through our city last Tuesday en
route to the Synod in Abbeville.
The sheet music composed by our
Miss Lucinda Bragg was greatly ad
mired by all.
Mr David McCame’s pencil draw
ings attracted the attention of all
visitors of the fair.
Friends, please pardon all defec
tions in this paper. We spent all
week at the fair. That is why we
are late and have so little news.
Mr R E Grier, of Matthews, has
the medical department of
Shaw University.
It is reported that Rev J A Wright
of Monroe will soon resign his charge
there for a new field in Virginia.
The oil paintings on exhibition
at the fair by Miss Libbie Leary,
were sjmgly grand. They will fit-'
tingly grace the reception rooms of
the United States.
The crayon drawings by Mrs. Geo.
7 . Wassom were in our judgment
the best on exhibition. They were
as perfect as life.
Mrs. J. A. Tyler has just spent a
week with her husband out upon his
work. She seems to have enjoyed
it and probably would make a very
good traveling minister.
Ebenc-zer Baptist Church is ad
vancing with the times. A base
ment has been dug under it and
heaters added and stoves dispersed
with Brother Haughton wilnotbe
left.
Mrs. Geo. T. Wassom had com
posed a piece of sheet music for
the Industrial Association, in honor
to Senator Blair, entitled, "Coming
to the Fair.” Our knowledge of
music would not allow’ us to pass on
tiie merits of this piece, but from
the reputation of the lady all are
ready to pronounce it good. She
had also a poem.
Governor Scales said in his speech
last Tuesday, if you have a home of
your own, your debts all paid, you
can defy the world, the flesh and
taxation. Let all try to get a home,
for there is no place like home.
Our colored grated school build
ing is about completed and as soon
as the new furniture arrives and is
properly fitted up, teachers and
scholars will "move over to their
winter quarters.”
We regret to learn of a very seri
ous accident that occured last Mon
day morniug in the family of Mr.
R. T. Weddington. His oldest
child, Annie, in some w;.y caught
fire in the absence of its mother and
was severely but not dangerously
burned,
Mr I. P. Murphy of Statesville is
well known throughout western
North Carolina. We are glad to
sav he worked nobly for the State
ticket on election day, while Mott
tore them up and filled his pockets
with them. Messrs Murphy, Cham
bers Murdoch and others deserve
credit.
Mr. A. P Tranthan and Misses
G. D. Johnson, Sallie Hampton and
Mary Massey left Monroe last Mon
day night to enter the formal at
Franklington. Mr. William Davis
had preceded them while Miss Jessie
Houston had entered Scotia. All
these are sent out from the little
Presbyterian church in Monroe.
The exhibits in the fair from
Hampton, Va., Normal School were
conspicuous. Tin ware, wooden
ware, shoes, harness and clothing
were among the articles made by
the pupils of the institution.

We are informed that Biddle has
J.e m’-st prosperous opening this
yeat of any in its history. Its new
president and colored professor are
to be congratulated.
Rev E H Collet, of the Graham
Street Church, has just returned from
a two weeks visit with his family in
Raleigh.
The mushroon politicians have
gone into their holes, to remain till
the “flowers that bloom in the
spring.” Then they will come out
to air their political nonsense in the
Mayor’s election.
When political discussions enter
in the church or a secret organiza
tion, trouble may be expected. Any
church or organized society that al
lows these things will find that its
usefulness will be impaired. A house
divided against itself cannot stand.
There has been a general increase
by the Republicans in all parts of
the United States. Republican mem
bers • of Congress have been elected
everywhere, and the next election
will give us a Republican President.
As we have not seen the "Inde
pendent” lately, we guess she is
dead. Poor little thing! Its little
rag fluttered in the breeze; but when
the cold winds of defeat struck her,
she faded like a tender blossom.
Here is a tear (or its untimely end,
and may the grass always be green
over the grave where it is buried.
"Not a Sound was heard,
Not a funeral note,
As the paper to its grave they hurried,
Not a. Mugwump wumped
As the paper they dumped
In the grave where the ‘lndependent - lies
buried."
Mecklenburg county gave the
Democratic Judges nearly eighteen
hundred majority, or six times as
much majority as the legislative
ticket. Why was that? Because
Dr. Mott turned traitor to his party
and his county chairman here re
lused to distribute the Rhpublican
judicial ticket in the county. Is
Mott the right man for chairman?
Is Gordon, his pimp, the right man
for county chairman?
‘ Strange to say, our reply to Bish
op Jones’ letter appeared in the Star
of Zion last week. It did not follow
his letter, as we desired, neither did
Mr. Dancy’s correction of his unfair
and unjust insinuations come at the
proper time. We would not have
saia so much, had he have made the
necessary correction. The amount
of space taken up in the Star last
week concerning us was about five :
columns. It has previously devoted 1
several columns to the same subject, i
If Zion can afford so much space in
its organ to the personal flings of
two or three individuals, we can af
ford to keep three or four of the
same calibre writing a month longer,
and then they will dodge our points
and never try to meet our argu
ments. If all are satisfied with the
matter, then let it drop.
Magic Lantern Professors
Several times a year, for years
past, Charlotte receives visits from
colored gentlemen calling themselves
"Professors.” They carry with
them a little trunk or box containing
a "show.” They generally make
the rounds of the different colored
churches, where they show their
"show.” As an inducement to the
churches, they give a portion of the
proceeds to the church.
Now, this is all very well so far as
it goes, but it does not go fir enough.
In the fiisUjiiage the church is not a
theatre or "show house, but for Di
vine worship.
In the second place, these men
are here for the purpose of filling
their pockets, and not for any good
they can do the church. In many
cases we find them loud mouthed,
bragging on the money they make,
and to hear them blow off. one
would think it was a ten cent show
turned lose.
They only secure a church be
cause they wish to avoid taxes, and
they also know that if they did not
get a church they would not get a
crowd.
They show a few religious pictures,
then a whole lot of funny ones to
make people laugh. The religious
pictures are only to catch the church
people.
I have no objection to any one
making an honorable living, but
when men go into the churches with
a show, and a mighty poor show at
that. I think it is time to stop.
These magic lanterns arc getting
to be a nuisance, a hum-bug, and a
delusion.

The Hesperian.
The grand social feature of this
Week in Raleigh was the Hesperian
entertainment on Wednesday night
at Briggs' Hall. The Hesperian is
a literarj- and social organization
that has been in operation several
years, and is composed of the best
colored citizens of Raleigh. The
u--iderc-s -as delivered by Mr.
Wiley B. Hunter. It was a master
piece of composition, and most ex
cellently delivered. Mr. Hunter is
a young man of fine talent and cul
ture, and bids fair to reach high up
the ladder of fame.
The recitation by Mrs. Ada A.
Harris captivated the hearers and
held them enraptured from the be
ginning to the end.
Music Was rendered by the harpers
of Raleigh.
Alter the literary feasts, all pres
ent enjoyed the evening socially.
Some where in the neighborhood,
some of the young folks present in
dulged in “tripping the light fantas
tic toe,” but this was after many of
the guests were gone home, espe
cially some of our good Baptist and
Methodist friends.
The society was honored with the
presence of Hon. J. M. Langston
and wife. We noticed present also
the following visitors: Prof and
Mrs E E Smith, Fayetteville: Mrs
C Randolph, Mrs Emma Cooper,
Miss Oleona Pegram, Miss Hattie E

At the meeting of the Emperors re
cently held at Gastein the German
Princes wore the Austrian uniform.
They have been in the habit of doing so
now for many years. The Pall Mall Ga
zette says that the origin of this custom
dates from the courtesy of a monarch
whose life is more associated with feats
of war than with the scrupulous ob
servance of the details of a chamberlain's
office. In 1770 Frederick the Great had
to pay a visit to the Emperor of Austria.
The visit, which was rather a critical
one, was paid at the castle of Nenstadt,
in Morav a. It was only seven years be
fore that Prussia had been engaged in
her great struggle with the Empire, and
had thoroughly beaten Austria. Fred
erick feared that the too familiar blue
uniform might now awaken unpleasant
memories. He did not. indeed, wish to
discard the costume which belonged to
his country, so he discreetly adopted a
compromise. He and all his staff ap
peared at N'eustadt, not, indeed, in Aus
trian uniform, but in colors that were
not far removed from it. The coats were
white, the ornaments and facings of
silver, and there were no epaulettes. If
i it were not Austrian costume it certainly
j was not Prussian. That was the pre
cedent for a rule that now obtains, at
least on the continent, that when a
crowned head visits a brother soverign's
court, he and his suite wear the uniform
of the country in which they are guests.

Down-Town Clubs in New York.
There are more down-town clubs in
New York now, says Blakely Hall, than
there are general clubs in nearly any other
city in the country. The expenses are
not heavy, despite the high rents, for
there is only one meal of consequence a
day, and it is not necessary to have two
sets of servants in the business clubs.
The prime object of ail these institutions
is to supply an eating place, where men
of position in the business and financial
world may meet for a midday meal with
out being wedged into stuffy and ill
smelling restaurants along with a lot of
office-boys and small clerks whom they
don't care to come in contact with so
cially. Theave age New York business
man. if his interests are large or if he
presides over an extensive establishment,
is a very autocratic and exclusive sort of
person. He may be pleasant enough up
town, but to his smployes he is a very
g eat man indeed. There are more men
of the Dombey stripe in the commercial
world than people imagine. Anyone
who thinks that it is not so should go to
one of the big down-town clnbs and ob
serve thestdemn, reserved, trimly-dressed,
and. indeed, rather arrogant-looking men
who float into the club at the luncheon
hour, and bow with great dignity and
stateliness to one another. The entrance
fee to the down-town clnbs ranges from
s*o to $75, and the annual dues are low.
As a rule the restaurant supports the
club. The cuisine is always excellent,
and the furniture solid and substantial.
Down-town clubs never go through the
experiences with delinquent members
that rack the managers of the up-town
efuhe. for no man is admitted to the clnbs
below the city hall whose business integ
rity is not above reproach, and accord
ingly the widest credit is allowed to all
members with entire safety.

Ericsson and 01* Bull.
In coversation a distinguished ehemiat
and physician, who is also an enthusias
tic and critical lover of mnsic, told an
interesting story about Ole Bull and
John Ericsson, the great inventor.
It seems that they were friends in early
life, but drifted apart and did not meet
again until each had become famous.
Bull had charmed the ears of admiring
thousands all over the civilized-world,
while the part the great mechanician
played in naval warfare during the war
roused the North to enthusiasm and
startled the world.
When taking his leave Bull Invited
Ericsson to attend his concert that night
Ericsson, however, declined, saying he
had no time to waste.
Their acquaintance being thus re
newed, Bull continued to call on hia old
friend when visiting New York, and
usually when taking his leave would ask
Ericsson to attend his ooneert, but
Ericsson always declined the invitation.
Upon one occasion Bull pressed him
urgently, and laid:
“If you do not cornel shall hying my
violin here and play in your shop."
Ericsson replied gruffly:
“If you bring the thing here I shall
smash it.”
Here were two men the very opposite
of each other. Bull an impulsive, ro
mantic dreamer;Ericsson stern, thought
ful, practical, proving every movement
with mathematical precnion.
Bull’s curiosity was aroused to know
what effect music would have upon the
grim, matter-of-fact man of squares and
circles. So, taking his violin with him,
he went to Ericsson’s shop. He had re
moved the strings, screws and apron, »o
that the violin would seem to be in bad
condition.
A-, he entered the shop, noticing a
displeased expression on Ericsson’s faoe,
Bull called his attention to certain de
fects in the instrument, and speaking of
ita construction asked F.ricseon about the
scientific and acoustic properties in
volved in the grain of certain wood*.
From this he passed on to a discussion of
sound-waves, eemi-tones, etc.
To illustrate his meaning, he replaced
the strings, and improvising a few
chords, drifted into a rich melody.
The workmen, charmed, dropped thair
tools, and stood in silent wonder.
He played on and on. and when finally
he ceased, Ericsson raised his bowed
head, and, with moist eyes, said:
“Do net stop. Goon! Goon! I
never knew until now what there was
lacking in my life.”

Book* In Anolent Rom*.
In the "Hlustrlrtes Bchwelzerisehe*
Unterhaltungsbiatt fur Stenognphon” 1*
an interesting account of the production
of books in ancient Rome. It i* stated
therein that notwithstanding the Ro
mans had no printing presiea, books
were at that time produced much more
quickh and in larger number* than most
modern works. Paper waa used which
was almost woven oat of the fiber of the
Egyptian papyrus, which grows to a
height of ten feet, and which has given
its name to paper. A Roman residing in
Egypt assures us that the yield of hi*
paper manufactory would be sufficient to
support an army, and whole shiploads of
paper wore sent from Egypt to Rome.
Before books of any description were re
produced in large numbers, they were
read mostly either in private cirolee or
publicly, so that the author eould adopt
suggestions for the improvement of his
work. Wealthy Roman* used to own a
large number of slaves for all kinds of
services, which rendered labor cheap,
as they cost nothing in many cues, and
had only to be supported.
The works of authors were dictated to
a number of slaves, women also being
employed for that purpose. Even among
freemen and liberated slaves the desire
to obtain employment became to great
that hundreds of willing hands could be
had for writing books at a very low rate
of wages. The instruction imparted in
the workshops of Roman publishers ne
cessitated a regular course of training,
which was to teach the appren
tices an easy and elegant hand
writing. If a publisher had at hi*
disposal say a hundred writers,
and reckoning the working day at ten
bonrs, a document which took an hour
to write would be multiplied in the
oourse of a day to a thousand copies.
The writers became in time expert to
such a degree that they combined quick
ness with elegance. It ma t also be ad
ded that in cases where speed was the
first consideration, the use of steno
graphic contractions became general,
and we possess illustrations of their em
ployment in the old manuscripts still in
existence. We are also informed that
both readers and copyists were instructed
and trained, the former in the solution,
the latter in the application of contrac
tions. Their object was to copy works
as quickly as possible, the use of full
words being only resorted to for the best
works. The above brief account dem
onstrates to us the fact that the Romans
made the nearest approach to the inven
tion of printing, although they never at
tained to it. The movable stamp* of
iron or other metals used by the Romans
for marking earthenware vessels or other
utensils also prove this. But the art of
rapid writing, which was perfected by
them to an unusual degree, counteracted
a further development.
The Work of Beaver*.
Mahlen Withars, of Wind River, Mon
tana, tella in the New York Sun a atory
of beavers’ work, as follows:
I was acting as an agent for a man
who owned a large timber track in Can
ada West, and I discovered that timber
thieves were cutting some thrifty young
cedar trees along Weifer’s river. I could
get no traoe of the th eves, and one
moonlight night I watched the timber.
I hadn't been long on the spot before I
saw a dark object rise on the bank of
the river, and at it came up in the moon
light I saw that it was a bea > er. Then
I knew at once fonr-footed thieves were
taking the cedars. As I bad never seen
a beaver ent down a tree, I thought I
would watch the operation. This ons
selected a good-sized cedar near the
river bank and at once began work.
The rapidity with which he cut through
that trunk with his gr at teeth is almost
incredible. Almost as quickly as a chop
per with an ax could have done it, that
beaver felled the tree. Just before it
fell the beaver gave a cry that made me
Jump, and he scurried down the bank
and plunged into the stream. The tree
fell into the river, and under cover of
the noise it made I crept quickly to the
bank to see wbat the beaver would do
further. The fallen trees lodged in the
water, and the beaver came to the sur
face and began lopping off the branches.
In this work it was joined by three or
four others. They worked industriously,
and the noise they made with their teeth
could be heard a long distanoe. Thoy
lopped off those branches as if they were
working with hatchets and in a short
time the bare trunk was stretched across
the stream. Then the beaver* went to
work on the trunk, and they cut it up
in lengths of prooably four feet, and as
a length was eut it was Boated down the
stream until tree and beavers had disap
peared
Carnegie’* Castle.
Andrew Carnegie is building on the
summit of the Alleghenies, near Cresson
Springs, a house, or castle, which will
cost $1,000,000. The entire walls will
be built up altogether of the undressed
surface stone whit h is to be found on the
place, and they are no' to show in any
place a single murk of the chisel or ham
mer. Mr. Carnegie’s orders are positive
on this point, he having expressed a
wish to have as far as possible even the
moss on the rocks used in the walls un
disturbed.
Many people are busy in this world
gathering a handful of thorns to sit upon.
