TH0S2 ELECTRICAL FREAKS.

quj teav v ar-aiice with the com -juonly
accepted electrical theor-
pe wevo taught to believe that
the high volage produced heat,
and therefore expansion too in
stantaneous to be endured by
most subctances without injury,
.hence trees and poles are
splintered, houses are wrecked
and nerves are shocked, but we
have seen no theory accounting
for the lightning's making a hole
through a . wall or breaking a
glass, which admits so little
electricity into it as to be ranked
as a non-eonductor.
Thui. th3 more we harness

our bidding the more we realize
our ignorance of it and its capa-
We are well aware that men of
strict bu siness -ideas and leanings
are apt to place their money as
investments. By.this we mean,
of course, money placed for the
percentage that it will return to
its investor. A thrifty, intelligent
community, however, has a good
percentage of citizens who look
deeper and higher, than this, and
bestow their means with less care

i 1 Should Tor jQarolin a College
be located in Concord ' and be
founded on the'' rock-bed of a
. - ,,
steady prosperity, it would be as
catching the,, mountain stream
and turning. ,it .upon a new and
fertile field, where its hallowed
innunces' would be boui. lc i only
by the confines of eternity itself .
As well attempt to reckon; the
influences, of the sun- in the
growth of eath's choict fruits
as to calculate .the power of edu
cation to expanU the intellectual
man, intensify tho .roble emo
tions of the soul, and raise the
the counterpart into the more
complete image of Him in whose
1: kner .s man was crepf -Ci.
We need not say to our suc
cessful men of Concord that it is
plainly visible'-that much of cur
prosperity is built up on indus
try not the most conducive to all
round development of mind.
. Wc need not Say, too, 'that the

We feel that Concord's mor
characteristics eminently fit her
for the loctirion of the college
that is moat likely to find an ef
fectual bidder.
We wrong ho one in securing
it, and the advantages will be
mutual. Can we not see our way
clear to secure this -prize?
We were on the lookout for
McQlure-s ; Magazine with th e
poem, "Dreyfus." Our esteemed
contemporary, the Charlotte Ob
server, beat us to it, and, not
hesitating for a moment in our
credit to that journal for the
highest degree of accuracy in
everything in the newspaper
line, we followed its copy, Tues
day. The magazine is before
us, and we discover that in the
9tK line "by" shouid be in iplace
of "of.!' In second , stanza, the
8th line was wanting, a break,
over which we hung in reading
it but concluded to let it go. We
re-insert todays not willing that
any who wish to enjoy and pre
serve an accurate copy should
lack one. ,
Admiral Dewey is the biggest
man of the nation, just now, if
not in the world. ' What he says
about, the Philippines goes, and
some things go accredited to him
tnat he did not start agoing, but
the following is thought to be
his real sen tment:
"I have the question of the
Philippines more at heart than

theless, that the Philippine
question will be very shortly
solved. ; , .
; "The Filipinos are capable of

all qualifications for. it. It is
question of time; the only, way. to
