IN KIITKKN MINUTKS.
Our citizens living in the vicinity of
West Gaston Street ami court house
square were startled about 1 1 o'clock
last night by the re;ort of a hurrying
messciiL'cr in miest of Dr. Glenn to
hasten him to the home of Mr. Geo. T.
Terrell, whose wife's mother, Mrs.
; Sarah Chamberlain, had by mistake
swallowed a large dose of the fluid ex
tract of nuxvomica in place of a tonic
remedy which 'he had been taking
under the direction of her physician.
But the drug, in the quantity which
Mrs. Chamberlain had taken a large
swallow or more ten to fifteen drops
being the maximum dose was deadly,
and before the Doctor arrived the pa
tient was dead.
The circumstances, as detailed to
our reporter, are about as follows : It
was between 10 and 11 o'clock last
night. Mrs. Chamberlain occupied a
room to herself. A short while, but no
one knows how lone, after the drug
had been swallowed, Mrs. Terrell heard
some one fall in Mrs. Chamberlain's
room, and running to ascertain the
cause she found that after falling to the
floor Mrs. Chamberlain had recovered
herself and was lying on the bd.
In
a broken way she said to her daughter,
"I've taken the wrong medicine. Take
hold of my feet and pull them; I have
the cramp." These were her lasf words,
for speech then failed her, and in the
space of fifteen minutes she was dead.
This sad affair furnishes its own com
ment on the danger of confounding
the harmless with the deadly drug, and
should serve as a warning against our
habitual carelessness.

About Iron mid !.
A friend has favored us with a copy
ot the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal, of New York, for March 29th, in
which we find two articles relating to
affairs in North Carolina. The first
is an announcement which has hereto
fore appeared, with a correction, as to
the report about the failure of South
em ores fo the purpo-e of making
Bessemer pig, with also the moral to
Southern ironmasters: "Do not at
tempt to ship your pig iron to North
ern markets, but convert it first into
t eel by the basic open hearth pro
cess, and then you can ship it any
where," This is very good. Trie
second is an article from an occasion
al correspondent in North Carina
who presents the main facts as to the
North Carolina Steel and Iron Com
pany, located in this city. After giv
ing some other preliminary facts, the
writer goes on to speak as follows :
It is proposed to build at an early
date, two furnaces, each of Ji tons
daily capacity one for Bessemer pig,
and the other for mill and foundry
iron and ultimately to build rolling
mills and develop other industries for
the utilization of the products ot tke
turnaces Greehsboro it near the cen
ter of a region in which a number of
beds of.ore havebeen describee! by
LeVey Kerr, ' Wilbur, Smith and
others, as of excellent quality for the
manufacture cf good iron and steel "
This is all in the line of our grow
ing imerests, and is entirely devoid of
exaggeration.
Horriinr H- anil Other Thing.
An observant gentleman who sells
nice goods across the way came in
smiling this morning and said that there
was, a rumor out that Dr. Benbow
would shortly tear' down thej.vooden
houses between Houston's and the
corner of Sycamore and South Elm
Street, known as "Herring Row", and
put up modern brick stores in their
stead. This so stirred the sensibilities
t
of our automatic rhyme grijuler that it
rattled off the following before the en
gineer could throw off the band :
O Herring Row of long ago,
Frail pile of moss and tinder;
No mortal man on earth can show,
Why you are not a cinder.
Just here the belt was thrown off,
and the grinder as it came to a-siop
stammered out something about savory
snacks, fish and oysters, clean shave,
&c, &c, and then stood still.
VcnI-'h Opinion
Wesley Smith was in conversation
wirh a gentleman the other day, when
the action of the colored convention
held in this city was mentioned.
Wesley criticised the action of the
convention, and said that the leaders
in the movement were going back on
the Republican party
"But," says the gentleman, "Wesley,
I understand that it is charged that
there is no opposition to the conven
tion, except a few spittoon cleaners
and low-down niggers." :
"I ain't no nigger," . says Wesley.
"Dar never wus but one nigger, and :
de preachers doan preach about but
one nigger in de Bible."
"Who was he ?" inquired the gentle
man. 'Doan you know ?" responded Wes
ley i "why it was nigger Demis."-

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
TDK COMMKNCF.MF.NT THIS YEAR WII.I. 1!F.
AN' OCCASION' OK ISTKKKST.
The usual and long standing order
of exeidses of the Stale University
Commencement will hereafter be
changed so that instead of all day
Wednesday of commencement week
being occupied by a speaker and preach
ers from abroad, the sermon will be de.
hvered on Sunday before and Wednes
day will be given up entirely to the
alumni. On that day the alumni as
sociation will meet, deliberate on meas.
ures for the advancement of the inter
ests of the Institution, have a social
reunion and see and greet old friends
and dine together. But the chief event
will be the alumni address before the
association and visitors. This is to
have a practical significance. The
various denominational colleges of the
State all have agents in the clergymen
of the churches to which they respec
tively belong. The University has no
agents except its alumni. It is heart
ily wished that every one of these may
be greatly interested in the welfare of
the Institution. The University needs
an endowment. An effort will be made
at the coming commencement to "start
the ball rolling" by endowing a choir
of History a choir very much needed
now.
. The alumni address will directly tend
to this end, and instead of the speaker
being a man from abroad who is en
tirely uninterested in its success except
in a general way, he will be a friend
and one who is willing to contribute
his efforts to the end desired.
An effort will be made to so amend
the University charter that the alumni
may elect a certain per cent, of the
trustees of the Institution. An effort
will also be nude to organize branch
alumni associations in the prominent
towns of the State. Raleigh and Golds-
boro already have them. Greensboro
should have one. Some of its most
prominent citizens are alumni. Let
thcin start that "ball rolling."
Another Cigarette Vicitm.
Wakefield W, Price, of Salisbury, 18
years of age, died of meningitis at
Salisbury last Friday night. The doc
tor, however, said he would not have
died but for the effect of cigarrette
smoking. This is the same as to at
tribute theleath of the young man to
the cigarette, and is after the style of
strong drink, when a man after follow
ing the drink habit for a number of
years is attacked with heart failure.
The stimulant of whiskey, which would
now bring him around all right, cannot
be employed with success. The heart
fails to respond to the remedy, which
has been habitually abused, and the
patient dies of heart failure. But he
wouldn't have died but for the whiskey
These twin destroyers are loose in the
community.
