The Historical Society. T.he Historical Society held its November meeting' m the history room, m. Tuesday last,-Dr. Battle presiding". Mr. W C. Smith lead the first paper of the evening" on "The In fluence of the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina During" the Eighteenth Century." He traced the settlements of the - Scotch Irish from 1736 down to the close of the Revolution, snowing not only their influence on education, but also the important part they ; played in the struggle for independence. At this period the clergy, being" the educat ed Class, engaged not -only in Telig"-: ion, but also in politics, since relig ion and education were fthen insepa rable. They could not conceive of national life without schools, colleg es and universities.; Rev., James Tate, who came over to this coun try direct from Ireland was the first to open a classical school in North Carolina. Prior o the Rev olution there were -only two char tered schools "in the ;state? but quite a number of independent ones. It is to Princeton College, he said, that education in this state owes its impulse, that-being regarded as the cradle of Presbyterian education. Dr Joseph Caldwell, the first presi dent of our Uniuersity, was a Pres byterian. Mr. A. h. Quickie read a paper entitled "Lights Thrown on t Negro Slaves." The paper treated of the methods and the advertisements used for the recovery of runaway slaves. They were never advertis ed by their full names, but only by The library.

In identifying them. thev were described by the marks on their bodies, or by the loss of an eye, a tooth or a toe. "The Emanciprtion Society in North Carolina," was the subject of a oaoer presented bv Mr. Tom- A. JL A. linson. He said that the histories of our state had dealt with the myths and fables connected with the settlement of our state, and had ignored altogether many organiza tions which were directly connected with our liistory. This society met for the first time in Gilford County in 1816 and by the close of the year 1326 there were sixteen hundred members connected with it. The charter members of this society were the leading men both in church and state. At this time there were more than half a million slaves in North Carolina and South Carolina together. The first work of the society, he said, was to create a feeling of interest among the churches, and in the second place to petition the legislature. Th? last meeting of this society was held in Randolph County in 1834. Mr. F. L. Carr read the last pa per of the evening on "The Senato rial career of George' E. Badger." The paper touched upon the educa tion and early life of Mr. Badger, but it was with his career in the U. S. Senate that it had chiefly to do. His position on the more im portant questions then in Con gress, was clearly set forth. He peered into the fu ture and always formed his opinions unmoved by popular opinion. Dr. Battle supplemented each of the papers by some valuable re marks, and in conclusion read a po em composed by a boy named (Wal lace on, the negro insurrection of 1831, and entitled "The Dogwood Gun." The meeting was well attended, notwithstanding the fact that there were two other same night. meetings on the The Philological Club. The Philological Club held its November meeting on Tuesday evening. Prof. Toy read a paper on the "Suivanie in Comedy," discussing her relations to her Mistress, and showing her to be the female coun terpart of the Valet. Dr. Ball, under the title of "The Jingling Bridle of the Ancients," gave a description of the various kinds of bridles in use among the ancients, and made some notes on their methods of managing horses. Mr. Home gave a brief outline of Le'ssing's Minna von Barnhelm, and Prof. Harrington read a paper on a iNeiriectea use ot tne latin Future Imperative." T. F. Sanford, agent for Gilreath & Co. of Charlotte, keeps on hand a line of furnishing goods in his room. Outting for November has some discussions on the new foot ball rules. A Wonderful Invention. Zoology teaches us that the hairs of-the head are hollow, and contain an oil that gives them life. In clipping the hair with scissors, this hollow is left open, and the hair loses its life-giving properties. I have a Machine named the Singeing; Machine, which removes the hair and at the same time closes up the hollow causing the hair to retain its life-giving properties, and therefore stopping the hair from falling out or dying and giving it a soft life growth. Call and examine this machine and have your hair singed. Special attention given to dressing Ladies hair. Cutting hair done with exquisite and artistic skill by the old University Barber of twenty years experience. The Singeing Machine is highly recom mended by scientists throughout the coun try.
