What Owed his Mother. '
Mr Ruskin, in the Fore Ciavigera, says:
How much I owe to my. mother for hav
ing so. exercised me in the Scriptures as
to make me grasp tbem Id what my cor
respondent would call their "concrete
whole," and, above all, taught me to rev
erence tbem ae transcending all thought,
8nd adorning all conduct I This she
effected not by her own sayings or per
gonal authority, but simply by compell
ing me to read the Book thoroughly for
myself. As soon as I was able to read
with fluency, she began a coarse of Bible
work with me, which never ceased till"!
weot to Oxford. She read alternate verses
with" uie, watchiog'alfirst every in ton a
tion of my voice, and correcting the false
ones, till she made me . understand the.
verse, if within my reach, rightly and en
ergetically. It might be beyond me al
together ; that she did not care about ;
but she made sure that as soon as I got
hold of it all, I should get hold of it by
the right band. In this way she began
witn nrsi verBe or irenesis, and went
straight through to the last verse of the
Apocalypse hard names, Numbers, Le
vuical law, and all ; and began again at
Ucpesis the next a ay. it a name was
hard, the better the exercise ' in pronun
ciation ; it a chapter was tiresome, the
better the lesson in patience ; if loath

few verses by heart, or repeat, to make

was already known ; and, with the chap

the whole body of the fine old Scottish
Paraphrases, which are good, melodious,
and lorcelul verse, and to which, together
with the .Bible itself, I owe the first cul
tivation to my ear in sound. It is strange
that, ol all the pieces or the .Bible which
my mother thus taught me, that which

my child's mind, chiefly repulsive -tbe

The Scotch Irish Presbyterians
In regard to the famous Declaration o
Independence, adopted on May 20,1775
at Charlotte, the county seat of Meckleo
burg county, In the colony of North Caro
lina, an impression has been created that
the step was the work of Scotchmen.
Tne truth is that they were grandsons
and great grandsons or men woo had
emigrated from Scotland to the Province
of Ulster, in the north of Ireland, more
than a hundred years before. . Inheriting
the proverbial Scotch industry, thrift, in
tegrity, morality, intelligence, courage
personal, political and religious independ
ence, and acquiring more genial and en
thusiastio qualities from their Irish asso
ciations and connections, they developed
into that peculiar and remarkable race.
" The Scotch Irish Presbyterians."
It is a fact not generally known that
in the. years 1636, soon after their estab
lish ment in Ulster, some, of these emi
grants projected a settlement in New
England. They are spoken of by Cotton
Mather as a Scotch colony. In the month
of September of that year the Eaglewing
sailed from Lough Fergus for the Merri
mac Kiver with 140 passengors, includ
ing the celebrated preachers Robert Blair,
John Livingstone, James Hamilton, and
John Al'Clelland. The vessel was driven
back by stress of weather, and the nex
year these ministers returned to Scotland
where, they affiliated with the still more
famous Johnston of Warriston. and Al
xander Henderson, and became promi
tent in the commotione, civil and reli
gious, which led to the subversion of the
English throne and the execution of its
treacherous occupant. . .
Two-thirds of a century later, in con
sequence of persecution from a govern
ment which in some sense owed its ex
istence to the heroism shown al the ter
rible siege of Londonderry and the crown
ing victory of the Boyne, the emigration
from Ulster to this Country began in
earnest, and from about the year 1720,
swarm followed swarm from the great
hive, some of the emigrants stopping in
New England and New York, but the
greater part passing into the tipper re
gions of Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the
Carolinas. From them have come some
cf the most eminent men, and families
particularly; in the Sooth and West. Of
this stock were General Alexander, bet
ter known as Lord Stirling ; General
Montgomery, the great Clinton family
(at first Bettled in Ulster county, New
York,) and many other . distinguished of
ficers and statesmen of the Revolution,
among whom were fire of the signers of
the Philadelphia Declaration of Inde
pendence Tnornton, Smith, Read, Tay
lor, and Rutledge. It baa furnished,
three Presidents of the United States
Andrew Jackson, Jamas K Polk, and
James Buchanan; two Vice Presidents
George Clinton and John Caldwell Cal
. noun ; two candidate for the Presidency,
the equals of any Do Wilt Clinton and
. tloracd Greeley; and a Chief-Justice of
" the United States John Rutledge. Jack
son, Polk and Calhoun were direct rep
resentatives .of the patriots of Mecklen
- burg.
Rjbert Fulton was of the same stock.
It is of this rAUtti the Edinburgh Re
view for April. 1863, in D article on Ul
ster, says : "These emigrants were the
.hardy , aud resolute , Prsby ierians .who
fought; ;'bq bravely . years afterwards
.again! the British Government In. the
American war the men of whom Ban
croft says, 'The first public voice in
America lor dissolving all connection
with Great Britain came, Dot from the
Puritans of New England, the Dutch of
New York, nor the planters of Virginia,
but from the Ssotch-Irish Presbyterians.
They brought to ' the New World the
creed, the independenceand the courage
of the Covenanters.', a,Well might Lord
Mount joy ay, in 1784, that America- was
lost by the Irish emigrants." S. Wl Pres
byterian. ' .Stanley in Africa. ';..''
Henry M Stanley, tbe famous . African
explorer of the Herald, is once more beard
from, after a silence of . several months.
At that date the intrepid explorer was
Rearing the American and British
into the wildernesses of Africa, and carry
ing tnat emblem of civilization, the shot
gun, iuto the bowels of inhospitable re
gions. Since then Mr Stanley has done
work which has cost creat labor.1 bnt
which will have much value: and c Father
Adam could scarcely have had a more se
rious undertaking' in naming the beasts
and birds, than has fallen to the lot of Mr
Stanley in bestowing appellations on the
nnmerons lakes, gulfs and Tivers which he
has discovered. Mr Stanley claims to have
discovered the important -river, "-Kageera;
wmcn &3ws into the victoria Nyanza from
the southwest; bnt Speke saw it, and fre
quently mentions it, as well aa the expan
sion of it, which Stanley has named Lake'
Windermere. -
Mr Stanley was also able to lake a sur-"
vey ot Jjake Tanganyika in his exploring
eoat Miaay A.uce, veritytag'ftosoin.e, extent
the previous explorations; of Lieutenant
Cameron in that quarter, and naming a
spacious gulf at the northern end of the
lake after Burton, a brother exDlorer.-
Mr Stanley makes a shrewd and import
ant inference from the poritv and color
of the watet of the river Kaceera above
mentioned, namely that it rises either
far to the westward of Lake Tanganyika,-
ui tuai u course is mterrontea ov a lase.
where the waters are purified as in a
great settling basin. To this possible
iaKe, tne existence ot which, it is to be
hoped, Mr Stanley may settle before his
return, he has given the name of Alexan
dra, in honor of the Princess of Wales,
ana tne natives assure him that it is two
days canal sailing in width, and lies 'be
yond the mountains of Ugufu, being call
ed by tbem Nyanza Chu Ngoma. Thesa
various discoveries, though of no striking
mportanoe, add an interesting chapter to
tne nistory or African exploration, ana
once more exhibit Mr Stanley in the light
or a Bnrewa, SKiiitui and adventurous
traveler. American.
Journalism Twanty Cantnries Ago
The first-Roman journal, published
over a.uuu years ago, appeared only once
a year. This paper, intended to be read
by the public, was knotfn by tbe title
Annates Maximi. The editor of this pa
per was the "Pontiles Maximus," 1 whose
duty it was to chronicle all the important
events of tbe year. Tbe news was written
on white wooden tablets and attacked to
the residences ; of citizens. It must have
been a curious eight to see the. old Rod
mans crowding around these tablets to
get a look at the latest news. But the
thirst after knowledge and the cariosity
of the people grew rapidly and in such
measure that the government, the only
issuer of a journal, found itself obliged to
issue a daily. It is interesting to know
that some of these journals, having reach
ed the age of 2.044 years, are still in exis-
tence. The name of the first daily jour
nal was Acta Popuh Romam Diurni: it
appeared daily either as "Album," i c, the
tablet hung out in public or tbe contents
were written with red chalk on the walls
of the bouses. The contents, of the jour
nal comprised what would be classed as
daily news in our modern papers. Doubt
less it will interest some of our rdera to
peruse a verbal translation from the oldest
j mrnal extant, issued one , hundred . and
sixty-eiglit years before the birth :of Christ .
"Consul Sicniaa was the acting judge to
day. There was a heavy , thunder-storm,
and the lightning split an oak at the foot
of the hills of Veli. In a. hostelry at the
foot of the bills of Janus there was a. fight,
in which the landlord was badly wounded.
Sitinins punished some butchers on ac
count of their selling meat which bad not
been inspected,, the money thus paid was'
used to erect a chapel to ,; the Goddess
Laverea. The broker Auaidius fled jfrpm '.
town to-day, taking money with .Jbim .be
longing to. ojbber people.; He, was, caught,
and. had to refund the money. The brig
and Demiphon, who was captured by offiV
cer Nerva, has been crucified to-day. .The
flotilla from Asia arrived to day.'.' It, const
be of interest to journalists to know, that
Julius Caesar, the greatest of , all Romans",
oaid special attention to journalism. He'
saw the necessity of instructing the .people
in everything occurring in the State, and'
we find this quotation in Siietonius : "Ju
lius Caesar as soon as he .had entered bis
public office, caused not only to be writ
ten, but also spread among the people
the proceedings pf the Senate." . Tttis was;
the first political paper, and as it contain
ed news about buildings, births', deaths,
executions, and anecdotes, it can be liken
ed very much' to our modern papers. It
seems incredible, but it, ; can s be proved,
that already in the olden'times there were
stenographers who took down the speech
es made' in the Senate or in public- They
were called "Notarii," and we find a place
in Suetonius wbre Augustus is angry be
cause the stenographers ' reported the.
speech of Ctejarfor Metellus ju a very Im
perfect manner. N Y Observer. j

We hope our young men will at once
complete the organization of the old
"Southern Star," one of tbe heroic com
panies which shed such lustre on tbe his
tory of North Carolina, at the battle of
Big Bethel. Many of tbe gallant men who
won this splendid victory are still among
us. Ut tne nrst organization there re
mains .with us, Lieutenant . Rainhardt,
now stiff with rheumatism contracted in
those hard campaigns,1 but with the old
fire of patriotism still burning - in bis
breast. Capt, Ed wards, was also a Lieut
in tbis : oompacy.and crew -erey in the
service Capt Specif Who? l08t a leg dur-
off the war, wa.3 the CfirBt Ser't, cf the
old company' Of. Jthe-econd orijaniza
tion, we ' Bttil "have its vP tain ' Hay nes
scarred all over with wounds pf ; honor.
so also Uoon, Ramsour, and Hoy le.
The "Southern Stars" roll has always
been a proud one, containing the names
of Lincoln county's best men the Aber
no'.hys, Adams, Bisaners, Carpenters,
(Joous, Caubles, Dellingers, Fingers,
Uaynes, Hills, Hokes, Hoovers, Rein-
bardts, Millers, RamBours, Rhodes.
Seagles, Shufords, Summerows, Sumners,
III I . t .
Wilsons, aDa a nose oi otners wnom we
have not room to mention. Of the pres
ent 9rganix uion, Capt Geo L Phifer, who
was a noe soldier and distinguished offi
cer during the war, was unanimously
e.ectea to command tbe company,
we nave tne material of tried veterans
i . . . .
ana young men just grown since tbe war
to make a fine company and. it is hoped
tnat tbe young men will meet substantia
encouragement in organizing their com
pany.
We hope to see the "Southern Stars'
succeed and that Lincoln county which
furnished each splendid soldiers as Major
Generals Hoke and Ramsour and Gen.
R Johnston will produce others in this
generation worthy ot her proud fame.
