THE UNIVERSITY OF WORTH CAROLINA. As a citizen of North Carolina we take an especial interest in the pro gress and prosperity of her State University as one of the great educa tional institutions of the' State, and are glad to learn from a scheme of instruction recently- received from President Battle that the addition" to the faculty now enables it to extend its courses, and offer to its graduates and scholars from other States espec ial advantages in pursuing their stud ies in the higher and in special branches. To quote from the scheme: "Students who desire to be acquaint ed more intimately with literature or science, or to train their minds to habits of patient investigation and critical analysis, or to enrich their intellects with a broader and deeper culture, or to receive advanced in struction specially adapted to pre pare them for professional life, or to become teachers, are invited to exs amine the facilities for instruction of fered in these courses." A chair for the science and art of teaching has also been established, which is filled by Prof. N. B. Henry, of Missouri, one of the prominent educators of that State, who comes with the highest endorsements as to ability in his profession. The object of this department is to teach teach ers to teach in North - Carolina schools, and thoroughly fit them for the duties of such position. We believe in home schools, home education, as we believe in home in dustries, and are an advocate of edu cating our boys and girls at home, when they can be so educated. Our youth who are educated in schools abroad or in other States, not infre quently imbibe ideas that offset in their bad results all the good they derive from the books and studies they master. It is in the schools as well as at the domestic hearth the men and tho women of the future are moulded. We hope some day to see the Uni versity of North' Carolina one of the leading educational institutions of this countrj-, one that will thoroughly meet the requirements for a thorough education, of which the whole people of the State, irrespective of condition or sect, may feel proud. Such an in stitution President Battle is laboring to make it, and we take special pleas ure in chronicling the success that is crowning his efforts. The Tamlerbilt Skeleton. New York Letter. .r .-' . There died the other day, in the full plenitude of alleged honors, a distinguished lawyer named bcott Lord, who made a business of stirring up" domestic strife of this kind for the sake of tne great reward tnere was tho contest of rich TEXAS CATTLE KIN G8. in men's wills. He stirred up the half-witted son of old Commodore Vanderbilt to contest the will of his father, and was pre pared to flood the city papers with the most horrible details of, that father's life if it should become neces sarv. He forced a compromise bv his threats, else he would : certainly have carried out his purpose. I notice that some friend of Lord has denied that he instigated young Cor nelius to contest the will. - Idon't know how intimate this friend was with Lord, but Lord himself told me that but for his urging Corneliusjr., to contest the will, his brother, Wm. H. Vanderbilt, would have given the weaker brother nothing. And Cor nelius, jr., told me that if Lord had not urged him to the contest he could have secured ? more money by the amount of Lord s fees than lie finally got from his brother, a And to think of the price ho paid in exposing the faults of his old father to all the world. . I know that but' for the re treat, of the Woodhull and Claflin women to England the son's lawyer was prepared to reveal all the sick ening details of their relations to ,the old Commodore. ' When it came, to this i point William H. Vanderbilt cried a halt and bought off . the scans dal-mongering lawyer by paying his brother a sum which enabled him to give Lord a big fee on which ha viiv tuauy reureo.

Hartford Post. , - ; v . - i The public does not realize the enormous extent or the vast profits of the western cattle-raising brsuness, as this is now conducted in Texas," New Mexico and the plainsr as far north even asWyoming and Montana. The little book, "Cattle Raising on tne riains," trom tbe Appietons. bv Walter Baron von Richthofen. edves much valuable information on this subject. The author has been in the business and lived among the stock men of Colorado and other quarters. The quick; and large profits of the business, as this can be conducted by great syndicates or companies more especially; are tempting great num bers of foreigners, titled and others wise, to embark in it, and to keep extending not only their herds but their landed acquisitions, by pur chase or, apparently, by any other practicable means. The Prairie Cat tle Company controls a domain con siderably, larger than - the State of Connecticut. It is partitioned off into three divisions, each having its system of government, its herd of thirty or forty thousand cattle, its army of rancheros or cowboys, and its hundreds of horses, all busy, and all especially in use in the annual round ups, or gatherings of the cattle for counting and; for branding' the calves. This New Mexico and Texas company alone has 140,000 head of cattle, and a property, all told, that is rated at between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. Individual cattler kings are mentioned who own 40,000 head of cattle and 700,000 acres or more each, requiring 250 miles of fencing. Scotch companies, English com panies, French companies, titled fors eigners and untitled, as well as great numbers of Americans, are engaged in this profitable business. The Prairie Cattle Company began only three years ago, yet they now have 140,000 head' of cattle, after having sold enough to pay all expen ses to' date and leave a clean profit of about $300,000. Other syndicates are doing a similar large and profitable business. They find it profitable to grade up their stock. The improves ment of the old Spanish-Texan stock by crossing it with a strain of Here ford or shorthorn, or other blooded stock, pays very well in the larger animal and in the increased market price of the beef. Many of these great "cattle kings" have already be come millionaires, and -many more are fast becoming such. The Virtue of Chewing Gum. Macon (Ga.) Messenger." : - "Thinness is a physical character istic of Americans. I account for this because of the fact that they are in a new country to whose climate they have not become used. Even the descendants of people who came to America 200 years ago are not fuls ly acclimated. This is true, it mats ters not to what country people may remove. Natural history has demon strated that at least 300 years are res quired to acclimatize a nation that has taken up its abode in a new coun: try. Now, as thinness is a character istic of Americans, they ought to use whatever will make them fat, aad they ought not to use what will keep them lean. The habit of chewing gum causes certain juices which aid digestion to flow freely, unmixed with any injurious substance. The habit of chewing tobacco also causes these juices to flow freely, but the tobacco chewer either expels them from hie mouth or swallows them mixed with the poisonous juice of the week. I see you have your note book out; just dot down this fact: Twenty years ago the rule was that Southern women were thm and deli cate; it is not the rule now. South era, women are not physically equal led in all North America. Any phy sician who is as well informed as he ought to be will tell you that this is true. This change is due to the habit of chewing gum. You may smile, you may even laugh, if you please, out l am telling you a plain fact. As to Southern men, they are as thin and gaunt as they ever were, and so they will remain until tney cease to chew tobacco and begin to chew gum The Hew Zealander Moving East ward. Boston Manufacturers' Gazette " About 4,000 immigrants entered the State of California during the month of September.

Jt is a singular and somewhat unexpected occurrence that the present depressed condition . m t J - li tit oi Dusmess anu agriculture m ixew Zealand has 1 induced many people from that colony to . immigrate to California.
