MTVPPISG. Stimulated by the false ambition which the boaated school system of oar day insanely fosters, and spurred on by fear of that misera ble farce, examination day4 a ten year-old girl of Deuison, la., stud ied the dull text-books until her memory suddenly vauished uud left her nil idiot. There is nothing strange alout this. The only thing marvellous alout this busines is the natural hardiness of the human intellect, proven by the fact that our schools do not graduate whole classes of human beings devoid of memory. Oar misguided educators seem to have interpreted the Declaration ot ImlciHMidenee to mean that all men arc born mentally and physi cally equal, and to have ignored as wholly imaginary the physiological differences between boys and girls. Instead of au educational system, they have devised a sort of mental sausage-staffing machine to fill so mauy brains with so much hashed dictionary in a given time. .The varied receptive capacities of a hundred minds, the individual characteristics of a hundred chil dren, no two of whom arn alike, the differences of nervous organi zations, none of these things enters into the calculations of our educa tional sausage-stuffcrs. -There Is a certain amoant of written rubbish to be crammed into the memories of a hundred children, and just so many months to be devoted to stowing the stuff away, and In or der that it may be got stowed in any shape whatsoever, false pride, false ambition and falso shame are invoked to equalize conditions and natures that are not and never can be made equal or even similar. The understanding is not educated by this system; only the mechanical I r . i zacuiiy ot memory, and! that in committing words without sense too often. v But the crowning achievement of human stupidity is that villainous contrivance of examination day, which is held up before the youth ful mind as the ultimate bugbear and inquisitional terror of the year, and the only effective purjose of which is to enable the mental sau-sage-stuffers to determine how much intelligence they have suc ceeded in ruining in a given time. If the children who graduate from our schools in tnese nays Know anything worth kuowing, it is in spite of the text-book, high-pres sure system and by virtue of their natural ability to pick np informa tion by observation. It is no wonder that loss of health, wit and ujemory result from this stupid 83'stem. The only won der is that there are stupid people nan to eontinue such a system j anu even uiai wuuucr uisappvurs wheu we reflect that the present sausage-stuffcrs were themselves stuffed in the same machine. The Political Dog 8 1 aria North Carolina Wahinrto Port. Senator Matt Hansom, of North Carolina, is in the city attending to business connected with the Potomac flats improvements. In answer to a ouestion concermn? the claim of the Republicans "to the old North State" in the next Presidential election the Senator spoke as follows: ".North Carolina is a Democratic State ; will go Democratic in 18S4, and there is no foundation for the impression which the Republicans seek to create that they can cap- tore the State next year. They m1 tfcrt snrnA rrr In tlm loat: iven cauvasses and may aflect a little more confidence at present because the- last Democratic, majority on the popular vote was small. The prohibition question had been voted on in 1881, the excitement incident to that issue had not died out and entered greatly into the canvass. That issue is now settled and our people are generally united, the action of the last Legislature hav ing taken it entirely out of the political field.n j How does 2iortb Carolina re gard the Republican party in its National character and policy V asked the W. "The people of North Carolina' said the Senator, "love Constitu tional government: are intensely devoted to their rights and have no idea of outside interference with their affairs. This is the tradition- al character of a people cool, calm and slow iu coming to their con clusions, but firm and determined in maintaining them. Any attempt of the Federal Administration to carry this State by the abuse of its patronage will be resented and will recoil on the Republican party which, as we understand it at pres ent, represents this policy. North Carolina has been less influenced by Federal patronage than any State in the Union. Her people are not omce-seekers, and they will never consent to have their power transferred 1 to Washington to be administered by what you call bosses. j "What are the business relations of the South to the Republican party V 'There has been a great deal said about the progressive spirit of the Republicans, but all the present prosperity in that section is owing to Democratic rule, for everybody is aware that the Re publicans are only known there by the frightful and ruinous track of the carpet-bagger. Since the Demo crats have gained ascendancy busi ness has improved in every way and all our resources have been started into development. The farms, the factories, the railroads, the schools, the credit, public aud private. In fact all the elements of a people's prosperity are thriving under the Democratic rule. Why should there be a change backward to the party which has left a blight on the land, and why should any- body not look forward, hopefully, to a National Democratic victory in 1S.H4 I The relations of the two races are satifactory to both, and a continuance of this happy state of affairs precludes any chances for a recurrence to Republicanism. Cer tainly recent events in Virginia af ford no inducements to join any such coalition as j has prevailed iu that State. Our people had enough of the Republican party in 1808, 1SG9, 1870, and the experiment in Virginia has accomplished nothing to break the established precedent or evil which Republican domina tion in the South has brought to every State in which it was tried.w "Are there any divisions among the North Carolina Republicans V "The jeople outside the State overlook the fact that there are greater dissensions in the Republi can ranks than' in ours, for hun dreds of Republicans last year re fused to vote the coalition ticket But there can be no solid and con servative character to the Republi canaparty in the South. Its ele ments are bad and it makes dis creditable uses of its opportunities. It seeks to disturb the natural re lations between labor and capital aud institutes the rule of the dis contented and Itarbulent. This is all false to the spirit of American portance of holding a fair this sea business and progress, and it may I son. Much rood was done for be stited as a fact, that Reoubli cans of character in the North, who are not interested in the absolute partisan politics would not consent to sco the South turned over again to their own party. That is the simple, hard fact The North is interested in the development of the South. The time has come when this feeling is paramount to prejudice, and the whole country wishes to see honor and credit maintained ia that section. The Republican party did not do it, and this is why North Carolina will not try any more In hers.77 I GREENSBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 14, "OMRIp" VTaklngUp. Cor. ot Ui Kewa and Obaerrer. I have not told yon all about the material prosperity of our State. Here Eain nt man poirt, I find new life. A company has been organized to build a railroad from Winston to Fayetteville, passing nigh Point, Bush Hill, Trinity College, Kandleman Facto ry, and then along by the long line of cotton mills all down Deep laver. The grading was commenced on ly a few days ago, and Mr, W. H. Snow, the president, informs me that they expect to have the road running to llandleman. 16 miles, oy eeptember next. This puts irew lite into High Point, causes people to move in, repair old buildings and build new ones rapidly. The corporation extends one mile -from the depot each way, and it really seems as if the ground will soon be occupied. A new LTJMBEB COJiTANY has iust been formed with a capital stock of $50,000. There is also a sash, blind and door lactory, of some $10,000 investment, and also another one in the western part of the town of about like investment. There is also the WILLOW BROOK COTTOJI FACTORY, a $75,000 investment; situated near the depot, and run by steam.

It is now without a pres ident, but will no do doubt choose one on the 12th of this month. No one will be expected to fill the place of Dr. Craven, but only to build well on the foundation so tell laid by him. In selecting a new presi dent, one of two iolicies win no doubt prevail, viz : some great man will be chosen that he tnay carry tfie collece, or some young man of good talents will be selected, nud the people will come to his aid and support. Irom present indica tions a man will Deselected who is an alumnus of Trinity and a mem ber of the conference. Sonic addi tional professors will propably be elected, aud there is probability of 200 students next year. If the doors shall lie thrown open to both sexes it will be easy to collect three hundred students. Mixed colleges are now common and pop ular.

Wheu he fell he caught one of Dun kley's legs under his body. Being unable to extricate himself, Dun kley drew his pistol and fired upon Waller, striking him somewhere in the region of the heart, Waller lived but a short time. Frait Growers Association.

He submits the following Biaiement: IT1 -.1 a! ' , ' . A A . . A , -.me Guuuuug occurreu early in the morning, just after breakfast. Sitton was at the house of mv brother, j David H. Shields, who lives near the mine, and but a short uisiauce irom my nouse. 1 carried my shot gun Nvith me, and on ar nving at my brothers house, I set my gun down outside the room in which Sitton was at the time. I went in and found Sitton preparing to leave, lie had bundled un his clothing for the purpose of leavincr. I told him that he had seduced my sister, and asked him point blank If he would not make the necessary reparation by marrying her. He replied: j '2o, not now.' I begged him to reconsider and say that he would marry her. He replied: P11 not do it I'll die first, With that I went outside the door, picked up my gun, and re-entering the room, shot him down. I took aim at his head, and did not look at him after -W ' m . - i nrea, bat turned immediately and left the room, locking the door after me. As quickly as possible I came on to Charlotte and delivered my self up to the officers. This is all I want to say about it. The killing was justifiable, and 1 only did what l ought to have done. My lather is an old man, and my mother is an old lady, and this thing will almost kin them, but l could not help it. I begged Sitton to marry my sister, whom he had ruined and he refused to do it, and I killed him." The girl was questioned by the neighbors immediately after the shooting1 as to the truth of the al leged seduction and most bitterly. denied the charge. She stated in the presence of two reliable wit nesses who will give their testimony in the court house, that Sitton had never touched her and the charge of seduction was all false. The peo ple of that community who know the young lady, regard her as a pure and virtuous girl and one who is beyond the wily reach of the seduc er. The tragedy is doubly Rad by reason of the family relations of the parties engaged. A sister of Mr. Sitton married David L. Shields. brother to the slayer, and it was under his sister's roof that Mr. Sit ton was i killed. Another sister of the deceased man was married to Rev. D. jG. Caldwell, of Concord, but who; is now pastor of Gilead and Prostieritv churches, in this county. I . The deceased came to Mecklenburg several years ago, from Due West, South Carolina, where he was born and raised. Tobicco Crop Prospect. I Win.ton Republican.

One of the St. Joseph papers is, reminded of a case that occurred scyeral yedrs ago, in which a young man actually died from a playful bite on thi thumb by a girl, and remarks : " It fre quently happens that the bite of a woman is poisonous." ' "V" borne naturalists who have writ ten about women seem to have been acquainted with this fact, but un fortunately their; observations have not been extended enough to defin itely set at rest the question wheth er the bite of every variety ot wo man is poisonous or not Mr. Wel ler, who had was more or less fam iliar with women, evidently held to the belief that only women who lost husbands wbre specially noxi- ar-a a . ja j ous. iiissomewuatiamousiermuia, generally accepted heretofore las authoritative, "beware of the wid ows," seem to be indisputable evid ence that his observations wre confined to the lone, lorn variety! of human female. Others have warn ed men against; women in general, but nntil the advent of the St. Jo seph young man; in the field of de-. monstrative science, none or them has been devoted enough to the In terests of mankind to bite himsplf with au ordinary girl and note the effects. The case of the person who died is too obscure to be of scienti fic value, except as it may possibly corroborate in some degree the St. Joseph episode.) . It is interesting in this connec tion to recall the dictum of an hum ble searcher for truth in Maine, who devote the best part of a long life to the pursuit of knowledge and the enduring of mother-in-law.

This terse expression has for years been ac cepted as a mere outpouring, of cynical prejudice, but in the light of recent researches it is clearly seen that he spqke not from the dis courtesy of dyspeptic ill-nature, but from accurate scientific knowledge. Who knows how many times he was bitten before the truth dawned up- on him f j i It is unquestionably settled that women are poisonous, and it ! now becomes the duty of the public press to sound the note of warning to all young wen who may be unconsci ously iucurringdanger, and to point out to them the; perils that lurk in the dimly lighted parlor after the old folks have retired. The number of young men, and old men, too, for that matter, who are daily running risks by carelessly approaching women liable to bite, is simply ap palling.
