THIS PAPER JulvurtlHiuKßuremi HOSpnu o BtVwher» advert« '• ouuiroota war be fur it 13i Mi .V YOitlw* J_L- " ' —~ The Meiican bill that lias passed kvotli the Senafe ami House only requires the iVesident's signature to befcomo law Nest Wednesday, t'eb. '2nd will be the 89th anniversary of our peace with Mex ico. That would be au appropriate day for the President to put his signature to the bill. .Johnes G. Clark has given §I,OOO - 000 to endow a new educational in stitution to be created at W uieester, Mass , and to be known as Clark Uni versity. Would that some noh man Would endow the old Univerity of North Carolina with a corresponding sfiii). In Act it would give us unmixed pleasure to know thai Mr. Clark or some other man of dollars had given SIOO,OOO. — Wilmington Star. It woulJ better serve the cause of higher education in our country if wealthy benefactors should contribute their munificence to institutions that al ready have affexisteii.se instead of look ing to the perpetuation of their names by endowing new ones to bear the names of the founders. In the State of Mas sachusetts where Ma. Clark lias endow ed t/ffl sev institution which is to bear his name, there already exist Harvard University, Amherst College, \\ illimn? College, Tufts Collog, the University of Buston, and the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology. Wo should not regard it as an insurmountable task to secure an eudowmcnt of SIOO,OOO, for the University of North Carolina from one or a number of individuals. Ibis writer would feel sifficiently self assured of his ability to effectuate such a sug gestion, should his zeal bn aroused to the poiut of action, that success would give him no unbounded pleasure, an J failure much mortification. Johu Roach, the government ship wilder U dead- He considrrcd i . . bankrupt » year ago, but it is LOW an nounced that after settling up the estate more than a million dollars will be leli for his family. A good ballance for the "poor" bankrupt ship-builder. Minister Jarvis has arrived at Ral ejgb from Brazil on leave of absence. Mr. Pendleton, U. S. Minister ts Ger many is on his way ti New York, and Mr. Cox has resigned his position as Minister to Turkey. To that u gov ernment has at this time no minister at Berlin, Vienna or Constantinople. Our government has remained unrepresented at Vienna ever since the Austiian gov ernment declined to "accept the cerden tiata of Mr. Kciley as U. S. Minister, nn the"ground that it was contrary to tin usage ot tho court of Vienna to receive any one at its court who was of Jcwi.-h birth. Mrs Kciley though a Christian is of Jewish biitb. It was reported | some weeks ago that our government was about to make an appointment t' that court. "We should be glut! to sei ; Mr. barles Ingersoll of Philadelphia appointed to that place. Wo copied last week an editorial brief from tbe Wilmington Star in which that paper considers the Agusta Chronicle in erroi in saying Julius Cresar was not above 5 feet 5 inches high. \Y e agree with the Star, for Csesar is described a. tall and slim, though we cannot give his heigth in feet and inches. We re cur to tbe subject in order to show a most remarkable instance how far cc tempoary opinion, and history which is founded on it, may be in error on such a point of ordinary observation. Tbe ootemporaries of Louis the Fourteenth thought him tall. Voltaire speaks re peatedly ofhis majestic statue yet, it is certain as any fact can be, that" he was rather below than above tho middle size. Says Macaulay: "He had, it sceuis, • way of walking, a way of holding himself, * way of swrlhng his ohcst and rearing his bead, that deceived the eyes ofth mu'ti'ude" nfter his death the revolutionist,violated tbo roy al cemetery, his coffin was opened, hit body was exposed' and it appeared, that the prince's untjestio figure which had been so ling and so loudly extolcd by iuftory, was to truth a little man. THE MEXICAN PENSION HILL. Tlio House l-as concurred in the Sen ate ameudiiK-nts to tho Mexican Pen sions bill. The bill now only requires Presidential approval to become a law It provides that a pension of u month shall he paid to all surviving of fleers and enl s ed men, including mr rines, militia and volunteers of ill military and naval serv ces ot the Uni ted State*, who being duly enlisted, ao tual'y served sixty days with the army or navy of the United Slates in Mexi." or oa the coasts or frontier thereof, 01 eu route thereto, in the war with thai uution.or wore uctuall, engaged in bat tle i:s said war in - were honorably dis. charged, and to such ether officers ami soldiers und sailors as may have been persoually named in any resolution o! Oougrcss for any speeiGc service in r-ai«l war ; and the surviving widows of suet officers and enlisted men. Provided, that such widows have not remarried provided, that every such officer, enlist ed man or widow who is, or may become 02 years of age, or who is, or may be come subject to any disability or depeu demy equivalent to some cause prescrib ed or reconized by the pension laws ol the United States as so far reason for the allowance of pensions, shall be entitled to the benefits of this act . but it shall nut be held to include any per son not with** the rule of age or disa bility or dependency herein defined, 01 who incurred such disability while in any manner voluntarily engaged 111 01 aiding or abetting the hits rebellion against the authority of the Uuited • tatcs. Section 471ti, Revised Stat utes, is repealed, to far as it relates tc this act. OUR STATE CONTEMPORARIES Nearly everybody who owns land ii Ashe county could make more moiic, aud become more prosperous it' he woulc put it to better use. The prevailing idea seems to bo co have as much lane a? possible, not one-fourth of which i: kept uudcr cultivation, but lavs around idle year after year, doing nobody auv good; whereas better results would bt attained by a more intensive system ol farming on a smaller tract of laud, Raise the best varieties of apples and other fruits; pay more attention to vom orchards. Plant an acre or two in ma ple sugar trees, if you could haul a wagon load of tieo .sugar to market ev j ery yea* u wwuld be- a wwidertul !», lp jto you. See that \our pastures ire | kept in good order, and if you can raise | two to three cattle or horses every year j for sale, so much the better. Hogs are j | unprofitable beasts about a farm, and j what is worse, their flesh is an unwhole j some article of diet, liaise poultry- j chickens and turkeys—there is nearly always a sale for eggs, aud there will ! be a greater demand for them when u j railroad roaches us and more hotels are 1 built, and a better loeal demand for! your poultry. Plant your surplus hill j sides with best varieties of grapes and j small fruits. Raise sweet potatoes and j I peanuts. Experiment in the cultivation ' lof gen.sing and other valunhle roots and herbs. Keep a few sheep if you have | enough laud. Make as niueh huticr! aud cheese as you can. Take a f summer boarders when they come, it I your houses are large enough. Kneour- I [ago Manufactures, support your home I 'papers liberally, read more, give less attention to party politics- In short,! put your lands and resources to the host i i possit.l-j u :e, fcerp > Nt and always re ! men. her that >-v Is the best poli ' oy."

'1 ho home:-toad law and exemption Ijiws in North Caro lina are the greatest curse that has ever been put on the State. They are in tended to benefit the pom but have made him pooroi by adding cost and ex cessive usury to his misfortune aud noc-' essities. They have mado some men indolent and shiftless and oaused others , to beaouio liars and deceivers. They have done no man any good but have harmeif the whole State and everybody : in it. They prevent any fair assess- i meat of the lauds of tne State, canse J litigation and cause a general want of confidence among our people. Their 1 repeal or abolition would be the best 1 move towarßs the good old time, and ' we long to see it done. —Hickory Caro- ' linian. \ Let no Stato or District Board as- , sesu the value of our property.

Wilmington Slur: I'eanutsbavo ad vanced in price, ar the result ol a small "boooul" that began the latter part i f last week- The supply in this and other maikets is ieprasonted as light and but little new stock is coming in. Quotations in the \\ llmingtou market have been advanced ten cents per bush el of twenty-eight pounds on ail grades. The first through train from Wil mington to Hutherfordton, on the Caro lina Central ltailroad, will run next Monday, the :25th inst., leaving this' ! city at (i a. ui. aud reaching Hutherford ton at 840 p. m. There seems to be every prospect that the Carolina Cen tni will be extended to Asbeviile. The distance from Kutbertordsoa to that place is only forty-two miles. tvilem Press : We were shown a few days sinec, a letter from an enterpri; ing and wealthy Northern gentleman, who wishes to eoiua South and engage in tin rock qctarrying business, and asks for information as to granite iu this vicinity | sustable for building p irposes. In an swer we meutioti a few : A few miles east of town is tlif Mastcn, Flat lioek, and several other quarries. Ou the i west almost within sight of town are j several, although kndcvlopetl. North west, near I'futftcwri, 10 miles distant, isl'fuff s l.iuibkilu. Near Geamatiton, 1 1 miles, are very valuable marble and limestone beds not forgetting the inter esting petrified forest. These "rock beds" will be near the l'adkit Valley lUllroad, now being built. The most valuable grinuo duarry is Rear Ker nersville on the N. W. N. C. Railroad, and only 11 miles fnnu Salem. Uelow \\ anglitown, on the old I'lauk roatl, is the Wecvill qtiarr . This will give some idea of llic "rook rapacity " of ihis / svuiiun. i CONDITIONAL StMAIARI".
