I’ay for it now. Read our interesting letters and send us in a little money. Livingstone College commencement will be on the 15th of May. Mrs. Dr. Sinclair, of Livingstone College, died on Wednesday afternoon. The city has had a lamp put in front of Grace church and before the M. E. church. The Presbytery of the Yadkin will convene in Salisbury on the 16th of April. Springfield, 111., has a colored democratic newspaper. Wonder who will support it? The Gold Dust comes to us this week from Durham. Rev. W. T. H. Woodward is editor. Rev. F. R. Howell has gone back into the missionary work, and his ad dress is Newberne, N. C. j The District Sunday-school con vention of Fayetteville District will be held in Carthage next fall. Rev. G. W. Murphy, a Zion preacher, and a subscriber of ours, died at Troy on the 20th. The county stockade was destroyed by fire on Thursday night None of the prisoners were hurt nor escaped. We have an invitation to attend the graduating exercises of the Leonard Medical school at Raleigh. There were five graduates. Rev. Mr. Powell will preach to morrow afternoon from the subject : “The unpardonable sin.” Go to the First Raptist church and hear him. The Committee have our thanks for an invitation to attend the 7th annual joint Kxhibition of the Clariosophic and Mattoon association last night. Mr. Pearson is still conducting the revival meeting in Wilmington. Very large crowds attend daily. The steam ers on the Cape Fear arc running excursions from Fayetteville and river landings. Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite, of the United .States Supreme Court, died, of pneumonia, last Friday morn ing. He filled the place 14 years— being appointed by President Grant. Mr. Cleveland will appoint his suc cessor. The colored Presbyterian Church at Carthage is one of the neatest little Churches in the country. It has hand- ■ some organ, which, with the choir, is behind the preacher. It is one of the j most intelligent congregations we have mot in some time. Rev. Wood is set ting a fine example for all preachers. His work does not only show at home, but by his influence more than a half dozen boys and girls went off from Carthage to high schools this session. Brethren do you do your duty in that way? Zion Methodist Church at Carthage is one of the neatest in the conference. It is handsomely finished and has a good membership. The choir is seat ed behind the preacher as in Grace Church in this city. They have gallery all round. Rev. E. W. Dix has charge of this Church. The Enterprise Social Club gave a very pleasant entertainment on Thurs day night at the Odd Fellows Hall. A very fine supper was served and all enjoyed the night. Elders Tyler, Rives and Stitt were among the guests. Democratic papers are publishing that Prof. Price of Livingstone College is favorable to and will support Mr. Cleveland. We state from good authority that the statement is untrue and without foundation. It may be intended to draw Prof. Price out. Who will the republicans of this Congressional District send to Chicago? Let us divide between the white and colored. W. C. Coleman is our choice from the Western end. If you go to the centre we will nominate Jno. S. Lewis. Let us hear from the dear people. The editor of the Wilmington Bulletin was brought before Judge Mcares a few days ago for using lan guage about the Judge which was thought uncomplimentary. He was dismissed with the payment of costs. We must be careful with the language we use concerning our judges. It came near being another case of libel. Ward Meetings. The Republicans of this city will hold their ward meetings Tuesday night. Ward 2at the Mayor’s court; ward 3 at the Episcopal school-house on Hill street. A full turnout is re quested to elect delegates to county convention. The Way Opening. In our travels during the last two weeks, we came across a newspaper published by two white democratic lawyers, who employ a colored printer, and he has a little white devil under him. At another town a white edi tor advertises for “an intelligent colored boy to learn the printer’s trade.” And all this in North Caro lina. SCOTIA SEMINARY. Dear Editor —Allow me space in your widely read columns to assert that I had the pleasure of exhibiting my “Panorama” in Concord two nights, assisted by Mr. J. L. Mont gomery. The first night in the Pres byterian lecture room. Next day we visited Scotia, and heard some of the recitations, which were evidences of thorough training. Professor Satter field and his amiable wife proves to be worthy preceptors. Indeed, their moral, religious, industrial, domesti cal and educational training are sec ond to none. No young lady who will adhere to the instructions given them there can ever prove a failure in the world. More such teachers and more such institutions will eventually raise us to a higher standard. In conclusion, we hope the 152 teachers and pupils who patronized our exhi bition in the chapel were pleased. Yours, for success, E. M. CoLLKTT. Charlotte, N. C., March 27.

A little roll of metal red with fire waa placed upon the anvil, a sledge hammer fell twice upon it, three tiny sparks shot into the air, and the molds of the old year’s double eagle gold coins were wiped out forever. It was a thousandth part of the work that lasted all day at the mint, the destroying of the 1887 dies. This is a novel form of destruction that falls to the lot of the money making es tablishment’s blacksmiths at the end of each calendar year, and is the only sure way of preventing the wily counterfeiter from making spurious coin without re gard to date. The dies of the mint are the stamps that imprint on the coin all that fancy business that, when rubbed oft by time, gives the street car con ductor a chance to insult the holder by refusing to accept it. For instance, it stamps on the dollar the face of the beau tiful lady encircled by stars and makes a strong contrast on the other side by print ing a game looking eagle perched on ar rows under “In God we trust.” The die is a little round chunk of steel about three inches long, sloping off at tho top, which makes it look like a minia ture milkman’s can without handles. On the top of it is cut the face of the coin it manufactures, with the date of the year, and something to think about when you look at them ir> that the die of a penny costs the government no less than the die that makes the precious S2O gold piece. Coiner Steel, of tho mint, signed the death warrant of the old year’s dies. It meant the destruction of a thousand of 1887’s money makers. Every stamp, from double eagles to dollars in gold, from dollars to ten cent pieces in silver, the fives in nickel and the pennies in copper were doomed. The place of execution was the gloomy shop in the basement, weirdly lit by hungry firelight. At 0:30 o'clock the dies were taken from their cells upstairs and conveyed thither in black, coffin like pans. Coined gold jingled merrily on all sides as the procession passed. Whan regret had gold for the steel that gave it power to ruin souls? So the dies of ’B7 passed to their fate unwept. Tho little coiners of big money were first sacrificed. The dies of gold were flung by handfuls into the flames. There they lay until the steel grew red and the face of Columbia blushed crimson. They were not taken out by hand, but with iron tongs, and placed right end up on the anvils. Then the smith raised his sledge hammer aloft and struck each ono full in the face. A shower of sparks, a smashed sound and the agony wa3 over. The ring of the steel had gone, tho face vanished like magic and the die of tho past was but crushed, unshapely metal. —Philadelphia Press. Wickedness in Ilmzi). Sabbath in Para is a holiday, and not a holy day in any sense. Beside the daily morning mass, very seldom is there any service in the Roman Catholic church. Sunday morning many of tho women at* tend this mass; but the men almost universally stay away; some remain at home to work, but many more devote the day to drinking and the game. Those who wish to spend the day more quietly visit friends or take their families to Marco de Legua, a much frequented re sort three miles from the center of the city, reached by both horse and steam car. Steam cars only run to this resort, however, upon the Sabbath and other public holidays. In the evening twelve large churches, one of these the massive cathedral of the bishop, have closed doors, while both theatres, with a seating ca pacity of at least 4.000, are crowded to their utmost. Gambling dens and billiard and drinking saloons all do a thriving business, while the harlot watches at her window for the footsteps of the passer-by.—Rev. A. C. Smith in New York Christian Advocate. Writing One’s Own Memoirs. “I have,” says M. Alexander Dumas, ‘often been asked why I don’t write my memoirs. I don’t write my memoirs bo cause a man cannot write his own mem oirs without writing those of others, <>r without hiding from his own life that which the reader ought most to know. Those of whom I should have to write would rather that I were silent, and I have no desire to write about myself. The laurels of Jean Jacques and of Casa nova do not prevent mo from sleeping soundly at night—on the contrary. It is, however, permitted to draw episodes from one’s personal souvenirs which time has formed into a whole, to which noth ing more is to be joined, which form one more lesson on the absurdities of human life, and which can no longer hurt or do injustice to anybody.”—New York Tribune. Tho Richness of Our Soil. English Tourist (to citizen passing White House grounds, Washington monument in the distance) —Oh, er, I say, y’know, what is that blooming obelisk there?
