A recent writer in the Forum deoltres
that no odo, unless ho bo a teacher of
youth, should preseibo, unasked, an
other's reading. Bees use I am the
teacher of your children and nave made
a stady of children's literature for a
number of years, will jou allow me to
make a few suggestions on the subjoot?
Many men who are setmlj engaged in
business hoye not time to carefully in
vestigate this matter. For this res son,
I trust I may be permitted to call your
attention to it, without even the ap
peararoe cf a desire on my pert to al
ia de; in the remotest manner, to any
offiir of yours or of your children which
does not beor directly upon their intel
lectual life.
AU children should bare access to
books that are healthy intone and suited
to their capacity. If such books are
supplied, you need hare little fear of
the pernicious literature with whioh the
oomntry is now flooded,
No ohild ought to be allowed to
choc se its own books The did rule that
one -should select his books as he selects
his friends, only after an introduction
by some responsible porty, is a good
rule for children to follow, at least until
the habit of reading good books becomes
irmly fixed.
Some people, anxious that their chil
dren should eorly learn to love tho
books of the greatest authors, place
Maoaulay and Gibbon and Thackeray
and Shakespeare into the hands of young
ehildrea who oannot .appreciate such
literature. As a result, children be
oome disheartened in the attempt to
road what they oannot understand, and
harm, rather than good, is the result
The main oljeot in selecting books
should be to get such books as children
will read and enjoy and learn to love.
It should be the constant aim of parents
and teachers to seo that children ao
qaire, early in life, the reading habit
which, if once fixed, will never be
eradicated.
On the other hand, some parent
seem to hate an idea that pupils ouglt
not to read books while tbey are at
tending school, but should devote their
whole time to their school work, and
not attempt to read bocks until after
school days are over. I think that this:
u a dangerous doctrine, for in all prob
ability if children do not acquire a lote
Of reading early in lift, they will never
learn to love books. When people arc
grown, it u too late to look for the
formation of a habit whioh micht easilV
have boon formed ia childhood. The
reading of books need not and ought not
to interfere with the ehild'o regular
work at heme in the preparation of les-i.
sons for school. There is time for both
and ample time, betides, for recreation.
If only one-half aa hour a day be de
voted to tho reacuc of tcoks. a revela
tion would occur in the lives of k ant
children. ' i
Again there are seme who think that
they ought not to rpend monev for
Other books fur their children than the
regular school text-bocks. Althoufb
the latter are indispensable. 1 do not
hesitate to say that you need never ex
pect your ehudren to become educated
men and women by the use of school
text-books alone. I do not believe that
any teacher will gainsay this A course
of reading, wisely selected, should be
followed as suj plemesury to the regular
lessons or tne senool.
For the views whioh 1 have f mreesed

Mr. Morrill, from the finance oom-
mittee, reported back favorably the bill
to fix the charge for passports at $1, and
it was immediately parsed.
Mr. Allison, from the committee on
appropriations, reported back the House
bill making appropriations to supply the
deficiencies for the public printing, with
an amendment requiring the money to
be : expended ratably. The amendment
was agreed to and the bill passed.
Mr. Morgan effered a resolution call
ing on the President for the correspon
dence with the govercment of Nicaragua
relating to the Nicaragnn ship canal as
to a treaty on that subject whioh was
pending in the Senate the 4th of Maroh,
1885. Adopted.
The concurrent resolution for tho hol
iday reeess from tomorrow to January
4th, Was presented and agreed to.
Mr. CuUom called up the conference
report on the inter-state commerce bill.
He said that he did so for the purpose
of giving the Senator from Iowa (Mr
WUscn) an opportunity of making some
remarks upon the bill,, after whioh (in
accordance with tie suggestion of many
Senators on both sides as to the imprac
ticability of the action on it before the
holidays) he would let the bill go over
until after the holidays. He announced
however that when the Senate reeamed
its session he would sgain call up the
conference report and insist upon its
consideration frcm day to day ml dis
posed of.
Mr. HiJson, cf lows, thereupon
proceeded to addrecs tho Senate in favor
of adeptirg the report. At the conclu
sion of Mr. WilEtn's remarks Mr. Cam
den ir quired frcm Mr. Cullom as to his
intentions in regard to the mansgmest
cf the bill. He said that he regarded
it as a wise and conservative measure;
that the country demanded the passage
cf seme such bill, and that it was the
duty of Congress to act upon it. A
large portion of the time of the session
after the holidays would be taken up by
the appropriation bill, and unless this
hill was acted upon promptly and in the
early part of the session it was liable
hit to be acted upon at all, and would
fail for want of time.
Mr. Cullom replied that his own pref
er en oe would be to proceed with the
consideration of the bill after the holi
days. He appreciated the fact that tho
bill might be easily allowed to fail
for want of time, but so far as he was
concerned it should not, for he had the
tower to prevent it. He would ask
the Senate to resume its consideration
immediately upon reassembling after the
recess, a he Dill then went over, and
the bill to establish agricultural experi
ment station in connection with the sg
ricultural colleges was taken up as un
finished business, and it was arranged
that it should retain its place on the
calendar.' The Senate then went into
executive session and afterwards ad
journcd.

Great excitement has been created
here by the Bingham -Turlington affair.
Some of our eitissns went on the search
for Miss Turlington yesterday and re
turned laat night. They report in sub
stance what appeared in the Nxws Ann
Obsbrvxk this morning. It is certain
that Bingham passed through Morris-
ville with the young lady in his buggy
and that about a mile this side of Mor
ris vilie, where hands were working the
road, he was traveling alone. Tho
bands say he turned out of the road and
crossed the until stream where they
were working on the bridge below. It
is said he seemed excited. Today the
oountry between the two points men-

Bingham while hero, waiting for the
evening train, went to a store and in
quired for cartridges Colt's No. 38
The merchant asked if he had a pistol,
to whioh question no response was given.

Bingham walked out of the store.

ton within one and a half miles north
west of Morrisville. They were seen
together in the buggy going through
that town about 12 0 clock in the day,
and about 2 o'clock Bingham was soeu
driving alone along the road to Durham
one and a naif mues from Morrisville,
by a party of men who were
repairing a small bridge over
a ditch running across the road.
This makes it appear that two hours had
been ooraumed in driving one and a
half miles. Between these two points a
party of fourteen men with Mr. Jno. G.
B .Grimes, steward of the institution and
Chief Police Heartt, of this cityhave
for the past thirty-six hours been
making a thorough search for a distauoe
of one mile from the road on each aide
Various buggy tracks and tracks of in
dividuals have been discovered in out-
of-way places, but nothing was distinct
for a long enough distarco to be of aid
m a discovery of any kind. Last night a
special messenger of tho Niws ah On-
bbxvxb came in from the vicinity it
which the searh ia being prosecuted.
and reported that preparations were
being made to draw the water from
Well behind an uninhabited house near
the road. Mr. M rimes gave it as
his cpinion that the dead bodx
of Miss Turlington would bo
found therein, and it is really a plao
well fitted for sueh a deed of violence as
is supposed to nave taxen place. Tne
following is a brief description of the
locality:
Between the town and the bridge
there are, leading from the main road.
throe by-ways over whioh vehicles are
accustomed to pass, all of whioh if fol
lowed for the distance of a mile lead to
secluded and gloomy spots. Two of
them lead from tho left and one frcm the
right Of tho road. Near the points whioh
two of these paths lead there are inhab
ited residences. There is aa uninhabit
ed houses aear where tho other path
leads from the road, not farther off than
one hundred yards. Behind this house,
and probably twenty yards distant from
it, is a well about seventy feet deep in
whioh there is usually from sixteen
to twenty feet of water. The well is
a verv old one and was never used for
drinking purposes. This was the ob
ject for which it waa dug, but a free
flow Of water waa never secured and it
was afterwards used as a cistern for
holding water for stock, etc , when the
dwelling was inhabited. This locality is
familiarly known in tho vicinity as the
"Taj lor Place." Having been unin
habited for years, there is a thick
growth of shrubbery and weeds in the
grove around the house which gives the
place an isolated appearance. This
spot ia about one Half a mile from the
nearest habitation and is not in view of
any, and at the latest reports the search
ing party were exploring the old wsll
Chief 'police heart sent a message to
Mayor Dodd yesterday, saying that if
V. aaa a
no discovery snouid oe maae curing
last night, that more help would be ao
oeptable today. Two brothers of Miss
Turlington arrived in theoity yeeterdiy
and dined at the institution, after which
one of them went to the hardware store
of Messrs. T. H Briggs & Co. and pur
chased ropes and hooks for the purpose
of dragging streams, sounding wells,
&o. , and left for the scene of the rearch.
The Star says: "One of Miss Turling
ton's brothers left Wilmington for
Charlotte to endeavor to overtake the
supposed murderer, and will probably
go on to New York in search of him."
A gentleman who lives near Durham
was in this city yesterday, and said that
last Friday evening he was in Dur
ham' when Bingham reaohed that
place and saw him go into a
hardware store, buy cartridges and
load3 a pistol. This circumstance
was not noticed at the time, but sine
the development of other facts becomes
significant.
A letter from Mrs. Bingham yester
day to a gentleman in this oity states,
that Walter Bingham has for the put
month been somewhat depressed, seam
od to be in a very melancholy state(that
he would sit all day and look into the
fire and could ' not be aroused to take
any interest in anything. She Would try
to get him interested in reading, but
failed in every effort. Last Thursday
he roused up and told her that he waa
going to Durham. She thought he was
going there to make arrangements for
the sale of some tobaoco and was glad
to see him taking an interest ia some
thing.
she states that he had been suffering for
seme time past with a malignant ease of
catarrh which had gone so far as to dis
figure his nose. He told her about a
week ago he felt like the catarrh had
eaten a hole up into hia brain, and
he would go orasy or it would kill him.
There is scarcely any doubt as to the
insanity of Bingham at present and the
sympathy of tho people of the State
generally be felt for the famtly of the
young man.
It wu stated yesterday that a
detective left the train bound for
Raleigh ; at Brasefield vesterdav.
This point is simply a railroad siding
eight miles frcm Drrhim. Another
detective is pursuing Bingham, who is
thought to have started for Council
Bluffs, Ia., to find Mr. E. M. Goodwin,
whom he . supposes to have been
his rival,' with the ''intention of
killing hm. Mr. Goodwin has been
notified by telegraph to keep a lookout
for him, and have him arrested ia case
he should go there.
