Clevelsnd Is a very beautiful city, covering, I am told an urea ol thirty square miles, and tonuuniog about one hundred and aeventy Qve tboosaiid Inhabitants. For miles tbe city extends along the shore of Lake Krie, and a constant breeze rendera the atmosphere de ligbtfnt. Koclid Avenue seveu miles in length, is ssid to be tbe most bautiful street in America. The private residences of the many mtllioujJrea of Cleveland ate very elegant- Oor now io process ot erection, is tbe wonder of tbe city. It is built of stone and will cost when completed over two hundred thousaod dollars. The style of architecture is cew. My fellow delegate, and 1 are pleasantly provided for in Ktst Cleveland. All tbe delegates so far a I can learn are well cared for, and by the best people of tbe city. North Carolina is represented by only three delegates. Mr. T. Mow bray, Bingham's School, and Sam uel L. Trogden and 11. . Caldwell ot Oreeniboro. There Is one thing that it gives me g res: pleasure t mention. tbe delegstes from tbe North and thoe from the 8ooth, seem to have a mutual deaire to be kind to each other and whether the qtestion "where are yon from V la ansa ered North Carolina (or any wbere In the aonth) there is another pressure of tbe hand. I have beard tbe spirit of sectionalism j many times dep'ored aud tbewisb blten expres sed for a better understanding be tween tbe different sections, f be lieve it ia not the least of tl good results ot tbe Yooog Mens Christ ian Association tbst abetter feeling a m a . a Las become cneeouereu in me different delegations. ; Tun South bas boasted of open banded hospi tality and C33 do so, but let her not think tbafabe is alone. I have be come convinced that tbe Ohio eo ple ran be clever too. The Convention is a ereat suc cess. It surpasses any idea one can conceive. Such,' enthusiasm and zeal and love in, and for the great work. Such a christian har mony and such devotion to the grand cause is Indeed and in truth enough to warm the hardest heart. I wish all the members of the Greensboro Association could hear a prayer ofTercd by L. W. Mars hall, or one by F.k Von.' Schluem back and could hear the short spir ited speeches of such men as E. D. Ingcrsoll and Dr. John "A Vroadus a a a a a ta m mm and could nc-r 11. lnai.t: sill ier sio and could witness the en thusiasm these and other men can arouse. 1 nere is a mighty power at work in every heart and the Great Spirit seems to be outpour iug continually. , ' Mr. Moody was expected to at tend the convention but he has not yet arrived, he is detained out West by some work of importance. The College delegations are nu merous and they are full ' of vim. One of the Money Kings will give them an entertainment Friday eve ning at his private residence. Your correspondent expects to be present as-the representative by proxy of the North Carolina State University. i, , - : .

There is nothing like lantern-jawed religion to be seen, everybody seems happy and full of life. There is cot a little 'huinar at each aession, and it is iudnlgid in by both speakers and hearers.

If the cause of Ltemperai.ee was thereby promoted there woald remaiu the serious qtif-s'iou wliet her such an abridge ment of the liberiiesof the people, il thoroughly enforced, would uot endat'ger more vital interests than tbe law is intended to conserve But as a matter ot facf, and in spite of the public sratemeuts of tbe orators ot that tcbocl', the pro hibitory law bas never in any State promoted the cause of temperance. I. The immoderate nse of intox icating drinks does far more evil we think than the use of tobacco ; but Ihe difficulty with the prohibi tory law is two fold; it does not diminish the evil, and it it could bo so cii forced that it did prohibi the sale aud use of liquor, it would d a greater publifibarm by taking away the foundation of all free in stitutions the consent of tlu gov erned. ! ft. With very much evil from their abuse, there is also much prat; tical good from the proper use of stimulants.
