Wey, a North Carolina missionary, who was on bis way from Hartford to New Yonfc, has complained to the police that he has been robbed of his pocketbook, containing be tween $1,000 and $1,500. Mr. Wey arrived in this city shortly before 7 o'clock v last night and strolled up and down, "the plat form at the Union depot, waiting for his train to start for New York. Two strangers, he says, brushed up against him and! removed the wallet from his pocket. He missed the money as soon ate the men passed and raised an alarm, but was unable to give any description of the thieves. The wallet contained checks fr; various amounts which had been col lected in Hartford yesterday for the mis sion. Mr. Wey' went to New York, but the money hate, not yet been recovered. Mr. Wey was rector at Grace Episcopal church, Waynesville. WAYNESVILLE.

'Howell1, daughter of Capt iAMea, Howell, president of the 'Bank, of Waynesviaie, has gone to "Lbs Angles, Cal., Where she will spend the winter at her uncle's, R. H. 'Howell, of that city. About two weeks ago several prisoners in the jail there, whose time toad nearly expired, were allowed the freedom of the corridors.- They abused this privilege and proceeded to gain- their freedom by loosen ing and removing some (bricks in- the outer waflL One of them came bade arM the others were all caught and returned.

WESTERN CAROLINA APPLES. The Rural New Yorker. "Thlere'' was a' rare chance at Ithe late American Institute "Fair at New York, to see the apples from various states, side fry side on the tables. IStrange as it may seem, the apples from Western North Carolina' -were the moslt attractive and best developed of any on -exhibition. They were from George E. Boggs, of Waynesville, and were grown from 2,500 to 4,000 feet above sea level. Such speel mtens of Newton Pippins as were shown by him, and a few others from the Mil regions of Virginia, put to shame the very best that came from (the Hudson; River Vallley. This apple seems to have found a ""far more-congenial home in those moum ianious regions that its birthplace atNeW- ton, It. I. From $4 to $8 per barrel are schools will go when the four months' sessions of their schools are closed, and to diminish the number of schools fromelev en to five, even if It 4s necessary to convey the children from the remote parts of the district to the school houses at public ex pense. By reaching the limit xf taxation, it is hoped 'that at' least a five months term may be secured next year 'for every public school in the county. A pressing (need tin the county is fox suitable houses for the schools, and the people are aroused to. this need, and are preparing to build the necessary houses by private subscription, af ter plans and spec ifications furnished by . Ithe board of edu cation. That our teachers may be better qual ified for their work, it 'is necessary to es tablish schools for their (professional train ing. It is proposed to locate "three of these schools in the county, to be in session dur ing the month of June and July, under the direction of six fully competent and skilled instructors, who are paid by the county for this work. A graded course of study, embracing the most essential ele ments of professional knowledge, will be followed in each school. At .the close of the session of .these training schools a general examination of all teachers not holding life certificaties will be given. The examinations will be upon methods, the history and theory of education, and upon the branches taught in our publis schools. The need of free text-books is so pain fully felt in our public schools that there is mo hesitancy on my part In advocating its adoption by our county board of edu cation. The poor results shown in many of the schools is due to the lack of books in the hands of the pupils, and the only rem edy Is to 'have the books furnished by the county, free of cost to all children, alike. We hope to do this for the next year. To show that the salaries of teachers is not sufficient, it need only to be mentioned that the minimum is $18 and the, maximum $50 per month.- Now, it is my hope and purpose to make, the Ua'tter figures apply . to the minimum, and any rate above that to the highest salary paid dn the county. But this means, of. course, that the teachers shall reQaitrvely deserve this increase. As they 'how are, perhaps -they ara paid enough for the class of service Tendered. The best teachers cannot and will not work for small salaries, and the system inau gurated will speedily 'limit the number holding license to those who may be s'lyled professional teacheHs, whose tenure of office may be secured and whose work con'tiinuous in the same school. I am aware that in thus closely drawing the .line I shall expose myself to the Vio lent criticism of many so-called teacher and offend others that desire to hold to the old way,; but, as I am in the service of ithe children of the county and not in the pay of any party or. corporation, I shall not hesitate to attempt to carry out these reforms. ."'" As to the "rust" referred to by the State Superintendent in the recent num ber of the Journal as existing in certain counties, it is but justice to this county, to ' say that not one old certificate has been: countersigned by me, and that none will ever be so countersigned while I hold the office of supervisor. Even new cer tificates issued by the supervisor's of' ad Joining counties are not valid here. It is a anost auspicious omen that a large percentage of our teachers in the one hundred and thirty schools are women. Our school committees have had the good sense to secure the services of many most excellent teachers of this class, ' ' - ? ' - ' II r!3S535Hc, Absolutely Pure V ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK.

What woman or man with one vestige of morality,-or compassion, can read -the shocking revelations from the women's wards of these institutions, without quiver- ering with- horror- and indignation. Who that iistens to ibhem 'is not impressed with the (thought, that such atrocities could never have happened if the state had pro vided women physicians for the asylum, aind matronis for the penitentiary What must be the anguish of those who have had daughters! and sisters in this -asylum. Poor, helpless, demented beings, sent to the state's institution ifor care and pro tection, to Ibe more Insulted and outraged than if they had been cast out upon the fields and highways. Ht is the duty of our state to protect her children, and who among them need great er care, pity and isalici'tude than those un fortunate oreajtures, who to being deprived of reason, are left more helpless and de pendent on our mercy than tflie tender in- fanit. Dr. Kdrby Smith, who should have been branded with infamy and dismissed m disgrace and' contumely from ms office, was mildly requested to tender his resig nation. (No peano of scorn ' rang out; against the criminal, be was quietly per mitted to retire. The voices of his accus ers have died to whispers, and fellow vo ters would shield him froim an ignomini ous fate. Dvein. tin. states where universal suffrage doest not prevail, the wisdom and proprie ty of having women physicians for the fe male wards in state asylums, ds so appa rent that a great many states, among them Southl Carolina, have appointed women for this service. tNot iailoner should the penitentiary be a place of punishment, its main object should be -she "reformation of state offenders. The chastened children! of the (State, many of whom have fallen more through ignorance thalt premeditated evil, should be trained bo realize the error of tneir ways, so that whm released they may start a better ca reer. ' . Chief Justice Chase once said: "The wickied -meni are not in the penitentiary, they are an the churches.". Convicted criminals are often not wicked, ithey are sdmpiy . weak weak in character, weak in iintelleat. lAnd how does the State proceed to' tredft these defective matures? They are sent to Jadls and penitentiaries that are schools -of crime, where they become steeped' ia vice, and hardened in sin. Poor women' convicts are degraded .to, shameless depths of iniquity- 'No wtadhful matron shelters them from danger. Had we a government that derived its just powers from the consenlt of the women as well as the -men ft governed we may have heard some woman's voice, that would have been regarded' in' our legislature, some woman that would have plead --for the proper pro tection "of her helpless or erring sisters; and our state may have been saved these disgraceful scandals. We need1 the inteaugence or women as well as imjeny interested in our govern mental affairs.. I cam - not conclude this article better than by quoting from the late Henry George's "Progress and Pov erty:"' . "The progress' of civilization necessitates the giving of greater and greater attention and intelligence to pulblic affairs. And for this reason I am convinved tinat we make a great mistake in depriving one sex of voice in public matters, and that we could In no way so increase the atten tion,, the intelligence and the devotion which may be brought to the solution of srwlial TrrohBems as by enfranchising our women. "Eveni if to a ruder state of sdciety .a xi the intelligence oi one sex -sumces nor me management of common! interests, the vastly more intricate, more delicate and more important questions- wmcn ime nTy&resis of civilization maikes of .public moment require the intelligence of women as of men, amd that we never can oouuu ll.Tlit.il w imtterst them in public, affairs. And I have come to Deneve -max very much of - the inattention, tne nippancy, the want of conscience, which we see ar.ifptfli Sin reeard to publ'ilc matters of itKA wppa-tPBt moment, arises from the fact that We debar our women irom uusjus .hr nmnw mart to. these mauers unoui- tog will! fully interest men unless it also interests women. There are vwxsv wuu say that women are less inirenigenx xnan men ; but who will my that t;hey are less Influential 7" , HEIjEJN (MUJttKiis lijuwjia. ' An Exciting Career.
