AUSPICIOUS COMMENCEMENT OF THE FLFTT- iOUHTH SESSION ENLIVENED WITH A FLOOD-TIDB FREIGHT OF VISITOBS. Cor. ol the News and Observer. Wake Forest, N. C, June 12, '88 Last week the twenty-two acres of shaded and green-Iawned campus and mile square of village were immersed in the dignified stillness of classic hush and goods-box whittling. : The dreamy haziness of springtime lan guor bung over and punctuated the disinclination to human locomotion. A fat, slow running, yellow, bench- legged fice, with an appendant caudal tin can that didn t scare worth a cent, would have afforded infinite relief. Tbe caterwauling of a Sr Thomas, the yowling of a mangy, hoarse dog baying the place where the moon ought to have been, or , the of a resUesB infant have been hailed with wails would rapture. Presto, change ! The scene shifts. Twas the calm before the storm. he blare of the trumpet setting the quadron afield has Bounded. The reveiTe has stirred cooks, caterers and housekeepers into the annual activitv. The gjradutui7 Ale'pacand wears :L customary, compassionate, sen ioric, don't-you-wish-it-was-you smile. The irrepressible small boy, always prevalent in large numbers every where, follows, dances and capers to the music of Iardella s Richmond band. Tbe darkey who carts the cut grass off the campus lawn jaun tily places his head-gear at a iorty-nve degree angle tilt and the countryman, who drives in a load of alleged spring hickens, has added another leathern sallows and a new checked shirt to his apparel. Tbe week marks with lurid pig' jaent the commencement of the nft. hlty Wake fourth session of grand bid vvaKe Forest College. And its career ofJ. prosperity was never onK more up ward bound. Two hundred and thirty students are enrolled and double, or quadruple, tbe number pf outgoing seniors will be supplied in the matriculates to be entered. Even so early, applicants are coming in on the well-freighted trains for examina tion and the professors are busy. It is said that Senator vance, juage Fowle and O. H. Dockery, the last two rival candidates for Governor, will be the guests at the same man sion at the same time, a fact that de notes tbe heterogeneous mass of in congruous political matter tnat wui disport itself in a welcome way at tne college during this festive week. Persons living a scant ntty mile distance, as in the writer's case, nave little idea ot tne ex tent, excellence and equipment of the college. Lea laboratory,a highly ornamental structure with exterior design -to give pleasing antique effect, is about completed. The building is of brick, two sto ries high in the main portion, with wings all in the shape of a "G." It is 130 feet long, containing nine large rooms, heated by furnace and pro vided with gas and waterworks. The chemical apparatus is of tb'e newest and most approved sort and cost $2,000. The cost of the edifice is over $13,000, and it is beyond all doubt ihe best equipped laboratory in the South in the most advanced methods of the sciences. The labora tory takes its name from a man named Lea, who was the largest con tributorover 18.000. A stranger is agreeably struck with the comparatively young men filling the professors' chairB, but. they have skimmed the cream of tbe most pro gressive American and Euiopean Bchools and bring to their specialties capacities for the most thorough in- si ruction. Each bears tbe highest testimonials from the best authorities in educational matters. The school cf natural philosophy, geology, mineralogy and kindred sciences has a museum provided with specimens from these kingdoms so as to give the student the advantage of object lessons. And bo it 'is in every department. With these aids, where is tho neoa of a Tarheel boy leaving his State for a higher education? There is uo hippodrome work, or dress parade business about the col lege. They will receive no immoral boy and if one becomes eo after en tering, or if he fails to study or im prove, his parent or guardian is . qui etly notified to withdraw him, thus obviating the disgrace , attendant upon expulsion. Numbers of stu dents, with bombastic sound and seeming, don't seduce the faculty irom the tine oi absolute honesty in dealing with a boy or his parents. There are ten chairs and ten schools at present filled as follows : C. E. Taylor, B. Lit. (Univ. of Va ), D. D , Professor of Moral Philosophy and Political Science; VV G. Simmons, A. M4 LL. D., Professor of Physics and Applied Mathematics; W. B. Roy all, A. jM., D. D., Professor of Greek; L. R. 1 Mills, A- M., Professor of Pure Mathematics; W. Royall, A. M., D. D., Professor of English and Modern Languages; W. L- Poteat, A. B Pro fessor of Natural History; C- L Keese, Ph. D. (Heidelberg), Professor of Chemistry; Q. W. Manly; A. M., Ph. D. (Leipsic), Professor of Latin; W. H. Michael, A. M., Assistant Profes sor pf Languages; E. G. Beckwith, A. M., Tutor of Mathematics. The following are the officers of the faculty: Rev. C K. Taylor, President; L. R. Mills, Bursar; K. ii. Beckwith, Secretary; L. Potea, Curator of Library and Reading Room; W. H. Michael, Keeper of Rolls; G. W. Manly, Curator of Gym nasium. The college buildings are worth $50,000, and the endowment fund amounts to $170,000, yielding an an nual income of $12,000. Whenever the accumulation justifies it a chair is added and. scientific apparatus par chased. It is gratifying to note that one college in the State is not compelled to perpetually pote as a public beggar before the State crib. The competitive declamations were delivered Monday night by ten stu dents of the two literary societies The boys wore without t aining under a professional elocutionist, and, considering that disadvantage, did exceedingly wolf. The prize was the ueclaimers medal and was awarded by tho judges, Messrs C M. Cooke, Nicholson and Dossey Battle, to J. H. Grant, of Goldsboro. The band has not been stingy with us music today. This evening at 8.15 Dr. J. B Powers, of Wake Forest, will deliver the address before the Alumni. At 11 o'clock tomorrow (Wednes day) lion. Z. ii. Vance will address the literary societies. At 8.15 p. m. Uev. W. H. Whitsett, D. D . of Lou s- ville, Ky., will preach the sermon to the graduating class. lhursday will be devoted to ad dresses by the graduating clas and the closing exercises of the session. Gov. Vance, though not in his best form and feather off the hustings, will.never fail to draw a crowd of Tar heels and not half try and in a bad climate for trying. He is canonized in the hearts of the people. Dr. Whitsett bears the reputation of be ing a divine of rare eloquence and power. The close of this gala occasion will be emphasized and. culminated with a grand promenude and regalia swap ping in which th orirU wrHT engulfing smiles and transfixing glances, while the boys will sport their tallest and stillest collars and charcoal-eboETzed upper lips. !s othing stronger than a mild con versational ;s ever indulged in here and flirting is strictly tabooed. Dosset Battle. Fwraker mm tkte Rampage. The waving of the red bandanna has already bad tbe effect of stirring up Gov. Foraker, of Obio. He not only denounces Mr. Thnrman as a free trader, but says the Republicans have several other things scored up against the venerable ex-Senator. "It is a matter of common report," says Foraker, "that Judge Thurmen and all his family carried delicacies to Confederate prisoners -while locked up at Camp Chase, three or four miles from here, during the war- .1 never heard that any Federal soldiers got any of the delicacies, fie was a cop perhead, out and' out, the Republi cans in this State won't forget their sons who are sleeping under the sod." Mr. Thurman laughed outright when bis attention was called to Foraker's ut terances.: In regard to the charge of being a copperhead, be said suffi cient answer to this was tbe fact that when a candidate for Governor 'in 1867 he was beaten by less than 3,000 votes, whereas the previous year the Republicans carried the State by 43, 000 majority. This was when his war record was fresh in the minds of the people of Ohio. In regard to the Confederate soldiers' delicacies busi ness, Mr. Thurman said: "How tenderly do I remember what a good Samaritan my wife was in those days. Govl Dennison and Gov. Tod often spoke of the goodness of Mrs. Thurman is distributing to the sick, forlorn and captive ones fruit and fresh things. Gov. Foraker does not attack me when he mentions those incidents: He attacks Mary," and the Old Roman spoke with pathetic tenderness of the woman who always speaks of him as "Allen, dear," and he to her as "Mary, my dear." Con cluding his : reference to this matter, Mr. Thurman said : "But le Foraker howl. He and all his little dema gogues can go to the old Harry. They cannot ruffle me. Let them howl, say." It is very evident Foraker has touched up the wrong man this time. The Old Roman bits with an ungloved hand. lialUmore bun. Gen. Sheridan's Mother Dead. By Telegraph to the News and Observer.

The rrince o Wales this morning received a tele gram from Potsdam stating that the condi ion of the Kmperor Krederick is very serious. The Prince on re ceipt of the telegram ordered that the usual State procession to Ascot Heath be abandoned. Potsdam, June 12 It is consid ered by the Emperor's physicians that tbe Emperor's disease has posibly reached the oesophagus. At the same time they consider that the difficulty he experiences in taking nourishment may only be temporary. London, June 12 A dispjtch to the Exchange Telegraph Company from Berlia states that the Emperor can only take food by aumcial means. Berlin, 9 30 p. m. Although the Emperor is slightly better the great est a ixiety prevails.

Ihe closing exercises of '87 and 83 give most pleasing evidence of progress, even be-. ond the record of previous years of this rapidly rising school. The community and visiting friends have been treated to four entertain ments, t ach of which must on every account be voted a success.! The first was given by j(the little girls chiefly as a compliment to the patrons and immediate friends. On the second evening occurred the annual celebration of the Caliopean Literary Society. The program presented us as we entered the crowded hall promised something good in the taste displayed in the selections and tho variety offered. The enthusiasm of the appreciative audience bore witness to the grace and ease with which the yo ing ladies rendered tneir parts. sislnf", iiiss rlobgood, favored us, the one with a selec ion from Rossini and the other with a selection from Liszt. We expected something good from them and were not disappointed. We take it that these ladies will even be gratified to be assured that the efforts of their pupils deserve to be mentioned with those of their teach ers. The young ladies favored us with a most entertaining, "Illustra tion of Collins' Ode to the Passions. The exercises were closed most ap propriately. The curtain rose and for an instant we looked upon a bou quent of faces and forms so charm ing that we cannot soon forget it. Take it all in all, this was the most successful and beautiful entertain ment ever given by the Society. Thursday the 7 th, was the last and great day. Then we bad an oppor tunity to see and hear the results of the year's earnest and diligent efforts of conscientious and competent teachers. After bearing the -essays of Misses Binie and Lilly Hunter of Wake county and the valedictory of Miss Cozart, daughter of the enter prising citizen of progressive Oxford, we feel that this school is not only doing good and thorough work, but that it is earnestly and successfully endeavoring to stimulate the ambition of its pupdls. To these 1 three was accorded the privilege of graduation. Their diplomas were delivared by Rev. (J. A. Jenkins, one of the professors, in a graceful, suitable and touching address. If these young ladies take the position in life that their present honors promise, they will bless the commu nities in which their lots are cast This school does not have "swarms" of graduates, the standard of gradua tion being high. The annual address was delivered by the Rev. H. W. Battle, of New Berne. His theme was "Culture (full, thorough and well rounded) of the Intellect and Sensibilities." It would not be fair to attempt a con densed report. We do not know whether it was one of his best efforts, but it was well conceived and grace fully presented. At times tbe speaker rose into flights that compelled one to believe that he was listening to one who possessed the gifts of an orator. During the afternoon the publio were allowed to visit the Art Gallery, which contained in well arranged or der the best efforts of the art pupils and a most excellent display it was, consisting of crayon drawings, oil paintings, .pastel painting, painting on silk, plush, china, &o. Knowing the gifts and accomplishments of toe art teacher who has spent several years in New York city in tbe Cooper TTmon Art Nchooi and under private masters, we were prepared to find the work of her pupils fully abreast of all the styles of art.

The music-loving people attended, while those who go to concerts forfun and talk were conspicuously absent. The selections were of a high order, and we note with pleasure that In the concerts of this school music pupils of all grades, the advanced and those not advanced, are brought out and permitted to do their best. Where all did so well it is invidious to make distinctions, and yet the following gems should be pointed out : Uom age Handel, Moscheles, played by the gifted Miss Edwards, of Wil mington; Anchored, a song, by Miss Sally Street, who has a wonderfully Bweet contralto voice; The Daisy, by Miss Spainhour, a pure arrd strong soprano; nun umme and song, by anas riorence iiesiie, who has a deli cate toncb; Fra Diavo'o. b-r Miss Watson, a strong, (vigorous performer: impromptu, schubert, by 3Iiss Ma mie Hobgood, who performs almost as wen aa she sings, and of her Bmg ing we bad a specimen in the morn ing in the beautiful song "Harbor liar; V alse btynenne, by Miss Evie Street; and La Gazelle Polka, by iuiss liouie Lurnn, who gives prom' ise of becoming a most excellent per former. xne spienaid new jvnabe piano just put in added to the occasion.

W. The People of North Carolina. Jndge Clark at tlie University. The people of North Carolina have shown, themselves to be more than fiOVtJc"cro68 the love of liberty glow with a steadier and a more enduring flame They were the first to resist j British aggression at Wilmington. In grand words at Charlotte they wrote out the first Declaration of American Independence. At Halifax her Provincial Congress was the first to instruct for a national declaration of a separation of the colonies from Great Britain. In the hard contest that followed her people made both those declarations good. North Car olina has ever been grander in deeds than words and has always loomed up larger in war than in peace. In the la'e struggle she sent more soldiers to the field than any other Southern State, and nobly as the Old Dominion did her duty, North Carolina left more of her sons dead on Virginia's soil than Virginia herself. Our State grandly makes history, but, magnifi cently indifferent to her fame, she leaves it to others to write it None fought better than her sons in the Revolution, but 24ew iungiand was s "Ted to write the record. No sol- d y went farther than 1 e-s up the I Aits at Gettysburg while iUe fight was going on, but after the war is over other troops are pushed farther up the hill when it is no longer dan gerous to do so. No one who has ever seen her soldiers amid the fire of battle can fail to say, "I have seen them do their duty." Nor Ney, nor Massena, nor tho great Frederick, nor Cresar, nor any other captain ever red forth to battle better troops than those North Carolinians who for four long years carried tho fortune' of the Confederacy upon tbe points of their bayonets. Modest, brave, unambitious, indii ferent to fame, but tenacious of their rights, loving liberty and appreciating its blessings, the people of worth Carolina are a sturdy, an independent and a noble race. Those who know them best will appreciate them the most. Tbe women of North Carolina are above all praise. They are as true, as noble, as patriotic as any that history can boast or that poetio fancy has ever painted. No wonder their hus bands, sons, brothers and lovers nave never faltered in any hour of their country's danger. They could not and they dared not. As a gifted speaker lately said, dur women went into tbe war "carrying tne standard of the Confederacy in their fair bands and the cross of Heaven in their hearts." They are peerless, indeed, and "true lightwood at heart. A Doctor lilke a Mole. Why is a poor doctor like a mole? You can track him by his holes in the ground.

A terrible tragedy occurred late Saturday night, resulting in the death of Jeremiah G. Sinclair, of Ossipee, N. H, postal clerk on the Bangor and Boston night run. Sinclaii had just finished piling mail bags in the ear, and tbe signal to start had been given. When the conductor ordered the train stopped, which was dona after it had moved the length of two. cars, it was said that a man in tbe postal car had beu taken with a hemorrhage and muBt'be removed. Several persons rnsbed into the ear and found Sinclair lying on. t ha bags in a pool of blood. BWwaa'ptaeed in an omnibus arid carried to the Pe nobscot Exchange, where he boarded. On reaching 1 he place the man was dead, and it is supposed that he was dead .when placed in the omnibus. The body was taken to an undertaker to be prepared for burial, when it was found that, instead of resulting frm hemorrhage, death had resulted from wound in the breast made with some sharp instrument: annarnnltV double edged, cutting through his jumper and shirt, and penetrating his breast just below the left collar bone -to the depth of four inches. A larce artery was severed and death must have ensued almost immediately. The only persons known to have , been with Sinclair in the car were Postal Clerks O. G. Sillins, of Massachu setts, and Lyman Hayes, , who had run for years with Sinclair, thd latter having been on the road fourteen years They were arrested. A Bangor, Me., telegram of the 11th says : Ihe mystery of the m&il-ctr murder" is gradually being cleared up. It is rumbred thatihe two mail clerks have made statements, but the rumors cannot be substantiated. Hayes is reported to have said that a sudden quarrel came up between "Bel- ins and Sinclair about the handling of some mail at Waterville, and both ' men were exceedingly angry. .'Hard names were called bv each man and blows followed. That this was .the ' case, scratches on the face of the-dead man and upon Sellins' face would seem to indicate. They were quarreling in front of the sorting table. Suddenly, in a fit of ungovernable rage, Sellins seized a large knife which was used by the bead clerk in cutting twine and made a plunge at Jerry Sinclair, bury ing It deen in th .ia um a few moments. They took him over to the mail bags and laid him down. After the train started, Sellins threw the knife away, and this afternoon it was found. Hayes saw the" stabbing plainly, but it occurred so quickly that be was powerless to act in tbe matter. This is believed to be the. stbry which Hayes will tell in court. It is also said that Sellins confessed this morning to the marshal that he had committed 'the deed in self-de fense. He is said to have said that Sinclair had been drinking, and when the quarrel arose Sinclair walked the whole length of the car and attached him., Sinclair weighed over 200, while Sellins weighed but 150 and was afraid of him.
