HOW J)AViDL. SWAIN";BE CA M $ PRESIDENT O F THE JJNIVERSITY OF V 1--NORTH CAR- w olina: o y Brother LYeecy,: of the Elizabeth Cith Economist, commenting npon a recent address of President Battle, introduces ,e following bit of his tory, which will li&ve an interest to the section of which-the subject pf notice was a native. Mr. Crcecy say3 : The reference to President David L. Swain recalls an incident in his life for which we are indebted toPaul Cameron and which may not be out of place here. He was President of the University for nearly thirty years of useful and distinguished administration. He was undec a cloud of sadness .when the idea of the Presidency first entered his mind, lie had been solicitor ofthe first judicial district, Judge ofthe Superior Court, Governor of the State, a prominent candidate for the U. b. benate, and a conspicuous n member of the Convention of 1835. His ter.u of office as Governor . was about expiring. One evening he was eutinz in his office in the ca ji tal grounds in Raleigh, when Judge Nash, of the bnpreme Court, passed through she grounds and called in to see him. During the con versa tion that ensued he said to Judge Nash, that he was troubled to know what to do when his term of office as Governor expired, that there was no racancy in politics, the bar was crowded, and he was under the 'ne cessity of doing something. He then added, that the Legislature, then in session, had to supply the vacant place in the Presidency of the university, and he had thought of being a candidate for the place. Judge Nash did not encourage the idea. Gov. Swain, though a man of literary tastes, and thoroughly equipped in the learning of the world,was not thoroughly equipped in the learning of the schools, and the President of the University was especially a representative of learn ing in Worth Carolina, Dr. Cald well, the president deceased, having been eminent in learning, uov. Swain quickly saw the idea was not approved by Judge Nash, and he asked him to consult Judge D.Cam eron about it, and he would be gov erned by his opinion. Judge Nash was then on his way to Judge Cam eron's in Iialeigh to tea, and during the evening mentioned the subject to him. Judge Cameron was star tled when the name of Gov. Swain was mentioned, and he said at once that he wondered he had not thought of him before, that such a manager of men as he was, was certainly able to manage boys, Gov. Swain was brought forward for the place, was elected to it, and conducted his administration of nearly thirty years w ith the most eminent ability, usefulness and distinction. A special dispatch from Chatta nooga, t'enn.,says: Chas. Carton, a swindler, was arrested at Birming ham, Ala. He swindled parties in this city out ot yu,UUU worth of land, He will be brought here on a requi- on the governor of Alabama. He is wanted in several States and cities, where he has committed similar crimes. Ex-1'residents do not seem to last very long. Their widows, however, hang on to life more tenaciously. A yearly pension is being paid by the country to the widows of Presidents Tyler, Polk, Grant and Garfield, ana the two former have now survived their husbands nearly half a cen tury. t aminglm Post. The Verdict Fnanimons. W. D. Suit, Drnggist, Bippas, Ind,, tes tities: "I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy Every bottle gold has riven relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Kheumaliiin of 10 -years stancine." Abraham flare, druggist, Bellyille, Ohio, ainrms: "lne Dest selling medicine 1 have ever handled in' 20 veara' exneri- ence, is Electric Bitters." Thousands of othen have added their testimony, so that thn verdict is unanimous that Elec tric Bitters do cure all diseasesof the Liv er, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a uottie at 11. 11.

We nave not learned the amount of his liabilities, or who is the assignee. - The Wilmington Star says :T The Baptists did well during the last twelve months in support ofthe Thomasville Orphanage. The re ceipts, official, were $8,230,93. One of the speakers in the convention was in error in stating the ngures at $10,000. Give Mr. jlillo, the Su perintendent, the coming year $10, 000 and he will accomplish mor9 and use it wisely. - ' , The Nno-Obscrver says : The Gov ernor vesterdav appointed Col. J. N. Amis. of Oxford, one of the directors ofthe N. C. Insane Asylum, vice' Dr. Bobt. Dillard, of Edenton, resigned. The Governor also appointed L. W. Barringer, Esq,, of Philadelphia, to represent him in the convention of Governors to be held in Phildel- phia next week, for the purpose of arranging for a celebration ot the 100th anniversary ofthe adoption of the Federal consttution. The Weldon New says : On Sun day morning one ot the doors of Maior Emry's store was found open and an examination showed that the building had been entered dur ing the night by a burglar who took goods out to the amount of about $600. A clue was found and Major Emry, with his accustomed energy, followed it up. The thiet was track ed easily because he wore rubber shoes. He was found near the fair grounds in a ditch with most ofthe goods lying around him. The Washmton Progress says : Mr. Tom Bobbins, living some miles below town, shewed us on Sunday night the livid scar of a terrible wound inflicted upon his head with a fence rail some two months ago by a black brute whose intention was robbery. Mr. Bobbins, will never regain the clear intellect clouded by that dastard blow. We also learn that Mr. Adams, who was brutally assaulted near Chocowinity bridge by three black devils a few weeks ago, will be an invalid for the re mainder of his life. ' The Lenow Topic says : Yester day evening, about an hour after dark, Mr. D. D. Coffey, Represents tive elect, was thrown from his horse near Mr. Henry Bowman's, on the John's River road about 7 miles from Lenoir, and had his right thigh broken. Mr. Cofiey was in town yesterday until late in attendance upon the Board of Commissioners, At Mr. Bowman's ,his mare, which is a splendid animal and nearly blind, became frightened at some hogs and, dashing off, bacame un manageable and rushed up the grad ed road which winds around the hill, and at a bend she jumped off an eight foot bluff and fell on top of Mr. Coney. Mr. James White was with him and going for Mr. Wm. Estes. eot a wasron and Mr. Coffev was conveyed to his home at Col lettsville. Dr. Scott went up last night as well as Dr. Kent FOOD FRAUDS. The Shameful Use of Lime and AUon in jsamng rowaers. Many food frands, such as chicory coffe or watered milk, although they ' are a swindle in a commercial sense, are of ten tolerated because they do not par ticularly affect the health of the con sumer; but when an article like baking powder, that enters largely into the food of every family, and is relied upon for the healthful preparation of almost every meal, is so made as to carry highly inju rious, if not rankly -poisonous, elements into the bread to the imminent danger of the entire community, it is the duty of the press to denounce the practice In the most emphatic terms. Among recent important discoveries by the food analysis is J that by Prof. Mott, the U. S. Government Chemist, of large amounts of lime and alum in the cheap baking powders.' These are, one the most dangerous, and the other the most useless adulterants yet found in tne low-grade, inferior baking powders it is a startling fact that ot overdone hundred different brands ot baknz powders so far analyzed, comprising all those sold in this vicinity, not one of them, with the single exception ofthe Royal Baking Powder, was found free from lime and alum.. The chief service of lime is to add weieht. It is true that lime, when subjected to heat, lei ves off a certain amount of carbonic acid gas, but a quick-lime is left a caustic so power ful that il is used by tanners to eat the hair from hides of animals, aod in dis secting rooms to more quickly rot the flesh from the bones of dead subjects. ; A small quantity of dry lime upon The tongue, or in me rye, produces ptaniui effects; how ranch more serious most these effects be on the delicate mem branes ofthe stomache, intestines and kidneys, more particularly of infants and children,and especially when 1 1 lime, taken into the system day u.;vr day anawnn almost every mcai. Tim is saidby physicians to be one ofthe chief causes "of indigestion, dyspepsia, and those painful diseases of the kidneys now so prevalent. . Instances ofthe most serious affecUoo ofthe latter onrans from arintlhgKrne water fonnd in some sections or tne west are noted m every medical journal. Adulteration wun lime is auite as mnch to be dreaded as with alum, which has heretofore received the most emphat ic condemnation from every food analyst, pnysician and cnenust, lor tne reason that, while alum is probably partially dissolved and passed off in gas by the heat of baking it is impossible to destroy or change the nature ofthe lime in any degree, so that the entire amount in the baking powder passes, with all its injuri ous properties, . into ' . the i . stomache. When we state that the chemist have found twelve per cent of one-eight af the entire weight of some samples of baking powder analyzed, to be lime, the wicked ness ofthe adulteration will be fully ap parent. . , J.-" . Pure baking powders are one of, the chief aids to the cook in preparing per fect and whojesome food. While those are to be obtained of well-estahlishe rep utation, like the Royal, of whose purity there has never been and cannot baa questirn, it is proper to avoid all otbere.
