Tlie Impartauce of Learning Dive deep into the chambers of melitiive thought, an-J try only to esliinate the' intrimii worth of learn-' tr.g No pen, however powerf J, ha vet portrave 1 its v.,lu9. N J pen. trow- ever p r ect, at description, has ever yet c -mplet lv pi Mure i its b -auty or a'r'v dt scribed its v.st imoortance! For naught would I raise my frail p: n 'iri the rit,'einpt, when, to ray min 1, i die mo.it bri'liant light of the intellect jud world to-day wou'd fail far to j reach th i arae in description of i s ben St, its necessity or its power. Had not e Juca'i mal' advantages, and facilities for intelletu 1 improve-tue-it and culture, been thrown around this generation, what would be our condition to-da, and what our future destiny ? Go with me to sections of unfortun ate illiteracy, where the liht of learn ing never shines, where ignorance reigns supreme, and I will show you crime, debauchery, inhumanity, ruin, and degredation. Individuals inhabit thes3 sections who eke oot a mot miserable exii ei.ee, unt.itored, untrained, and total ly ignorant o" the elevating and refia ing iuflueiiCes of learning; ignorant of t' e happiness it aflords; ignorant if all its benefits. Their lives are but an "empty dream;" they have lived to uo purpos-; they bave accomplished naught, and ea i is their destiny. Visit a community where iustitu tions of learning are erected, where iiliiji us training is practiced, and how great the contrast ! how different the manner of livi ig! Ignorance l:a a ten lency to vice, v ce tj crime, and crime to perdition. E lucation, on the other hand, tends toward mora'ity, morab'ty toward Cbristiaaity, aud CLristiaoity lea Is to heaven. Take an untutored, reckless boy and place him under the tuition of a worthy instructor, and so soon as he makes the slightest advincement he begins to feel encouraged, and as his mind gradually developes and strengthens into knowledge, he thus gradually abaud m his meaner trais, feels a natural pride of bimself and county, dvelop -s fully into manhood widi a s'orehohse of knowledge, waves a sceptre, finally, o'er the hill of emi nence; is loved by hi country and honored by men. It is better to have a reputation for inte'.ligencaWd cul ture, than to have wealth. E lucition driv s awav id'eness; it stimulates the inner mtu and encourages him to ac tion. Seldom do you find intelligent, learned men idling their time away; they have a bu-in ss, the heart is sat up n an oVj -ct, and they find pleasure an 1 profiit in its pursuit, j: The unintelligent idler has no ob ject, he sees no cause fjr action, he abominates the very idea of energy, he detests m at horribly the thought of study, he closes scornfully his very eyes at the eight of a book, and spends bis life with an empty mind; indolence written upon his brow, clothed in tat tered garment, he dies a wretched being, unknown, unhonered and) un- 1 f sunsr. Le Irning j r -pares a man for use fulness in the world; it fits him for the better discharge of home duties, it fit him for the entertainment of frienda and stringer, it fits him for society, f r hi.jh lite, for the church of God, it ju ilifies him for the government af fairs, if they devolve upon him, it .rives him inexpressible satisfaction even to read. Learning is a source of happines3, and man livts in dark ness without it. It is important in all branches of business; it is indispeasable on the far oj, in the workshop, ia the factory ia the mercantile house, in the edi t xra sanctum, in the pulpit, on the Btasre and with all men of trade. With education the homes of men are made happy. It is highly impor taut that the fair sex, God's last and best gift, to man, shou'd be highly cul tured. Eery talent with which God has endowe J her shoal 1 b j itnproved, that she may be the better prepared to discharge the"" duties, and pi eside over the affairs of the household, and to shape the destinias of the world's sleeping hopes. f Realizing that education is, a price less boon, a thing of grand signifi cance and of aloiost indispnsible need to all humanity, I entreat the parents of this fair and noble land of ours to educate at all hazards your sjn3 and daughters. Prepara them for the stern realities of life, fit them by edu cation to go forth intj the world with enlightened, cultured min Is, ever mov ing upon a high pune, looking to a higher standard. S. F.

North Carolina and the Ex position, i WHAT TH SEW ORLEANS TIMES-DEMOCRAT SAYS OF IT. As one of the visible results of the World's Fair at- New Orleans, there are to-day several million Americans from every part of the United States., and foreigners representing all corners of civilization, who are convinced tuat North Carolina, one of the chief and most progressive Stat s of th new South, is a commonwealth poshes ied of an imperial array of resources, ag ricultural, mineral, marine and indus trial, such as few regi ma of like are can equ d aDy where on the earth's sur face. Prior to the splendid present rnent of the State's wealth and possi bilities, contained in its official exhibi', the same millions probably ha 1 little idea of North Carolina, bayond th -fact that it enjoyed the rather deteri orating pseu io ay m of the "Tar-heel State," made a good d al of turpen tine and resin, and was supposed to deal in fih and oysters to some extent. B yond this Tom Moore's lin. s in hie poe,n of the "Dismal Swamp'' were p-rhaps taken to indicate the physical conditions of the couutry. Surely the visitor to the North Caroli -ia exhibit would have hard work to reconcile the regal displ ty of products from great fisheries, fertile fiel Is, mines of gold, silver and precious stones, forests, buny looms, spindles, potteries, mills and furnaces, with a section wherein the trivehr would be compelled to j-aimer " through jtangled be" s of juniper weeds, and many a fen where the serpent feed, and man never trod before!" u The N;rth Carolina exhibit involves at once a revelation to the world and a revolution to the State. Both were needed to put one of the richest and brightest of our sisters in the fiont rank of ntw Southern progress, and they have come. The outside world has learned, practically, that fortunes await the skilled adventurer in almost any department of industry, while af. the same time the p-'op'e of the Old North State have absorbed the equally im pert ant lesson that to sell goods successfully one must advertise them iberally and intelligently. Of this alter fact there is probably a better appreciation in North Carolina than in most ether States, and the money needed to present and represent the State at the Exposition has n)t been grudged. Whit has been accom plished by these means has become already apparent at home. The more than able enabissy of live young South ern hien in charge of North Carolina' agricultural, inlusrial and scientific egaiibn at the Fair are reported as etieiving many enomiums and hou rs from their people . This is right and j just, , for they have done their work thoroughly ani well, an J dt serve the success that appears to crown their eff orts. Between Jan. 1 an! March 31 of the present year over $750,000 were adde I to the industrial capital of North Car olin", and the greater part of this sum is believed to be directly traceab'e to the State's exhibition policy. Much of the njoney is s,aid to c imp from sources until lately uninformed regard ing the State or its resources, among the new enterprises established $200,- 000 has been devoted to op?nin a rih copp.-r mina in the western par of the State; a company for the man ufacture of com-nerciil fertilizers from native rocks hardly known until the opening of the Exposition has been started. Machine thops, tobficc fac tories, lumbar, flour ani otton mih, and a variety of less notable enter prises complete the list. As in the cases of other Southern St te3, the mining industry of North Carolina is receiving a remarkable impetus Ir m the Exposition. The world has never before realized th it while Americans have been crossing a continent upon a slim chance of a hunt for the preci ous metals, the same were lying idly in a hunlred well-ascertainel locdi ties in the South, and only waiting f or skill and capital to u'ilize them. And in North Carolina the temptation to seek gold and silver is intensifie 1 by the f urther knowledge that rare gems, including dianoon Is of value, are be ing found and in some cases system- a'ical'y mined. Much gold has been taken from North Carolina mines, but the assrresate is as nothing to the future; produc'in when the known auriferons localities shall have been thoroughly prosp cted by the practi cal miners and scientists who have at lat taken fire on the subject and are onstantly going into the State on ex ploring tours. A great deal more could be said con cerning the opportunities for invest ment and setdement offered by North Carolina, and .illustrated in her won derful exhibi1. Her mountains of iron ore are richer than those of possibly any other State, and with transporta tion facilities, not long to be deterred, the development of her magnetic and Cranberry ores alone should create an immensa wealth and State industry.

Tnere are many ,hich clothe th highway robber with h riism. They consciously or unc mscnudy tach that it is a virtu ous act t) steal from the rich, and, re taining a proper c un mission, g ve to the poor. Tiiere was a time when a goodly portion of the popul ition of England were rather proud of tiieir smuegLrs and highwaymen than oth erwise. Mostof them were represent ed as men sourel by soue ri?vous wrong which they were engaged in rec'ifying. The trash writers find a fine field for th-;ir pf-n? ia vividly, and in an exaggerated way, bringing that age down to the pres nt, and c'uculat ing ideas which hve become obsolete with intelligent peop'e, among clase-i that have not the pover to discrimi nate, and who glory in the " bio d and thunder" stories f jund io fifth-rate journals or books.

G.Krga Arstingstall, the noted ele phant trainer, now managing twenty elephants in Barnu.n's circis&aid to a New York Mnil and ExprtS3 reporter that for twenty three years Le had done nothing but tr dn and manage elephan's. "I rule them all through fear, a id not affection. They are nat urally very aff c'iona'e anima's at times, but are euro to lake advantage of any conc-ssi n granted thorn on that soore. If I s e a keeper b ;com- ing ki id to an elephant I discharge hioa and hire another. The first thing I teach a baby elephant is his -name. Then I compel him to come when h's name is called. If he is tardy about leirning I puni-th bim severly. The cours 3 of tr lining is long and ardu ous, and depends oa the amount of intelligence the animal possesses. The African elephiats are mora tra : table than the India elephants, and if any thing have more intelligence. Most of the trainei elephants are from Af rici. I have some elephmts thit are disposed to have fakirs, i. e., to make a pretense of p-rforning wkhout ac tually coming up to the excellence re quired.

The s'lip-neht fs a little thought vViil show. The work of transporting th ) lumber from Alexander's.' to Wilmington was b.gun on Thursday of last we3, ani the shipments have averaged about eight car loids.per day. Yesterday there were ten car loads. Ea?h car is loaded to its full est capacity and ca-ries 30,000 pounds of luuiber. This lumb r, which is going to Europe, is s lid to be the finest in the world, and great care 13 t i'-ten ,in its shipment. To prevent the lumber fr ia being injured by r .in it i3 car ried in box cars, as much care being taken wi h it as it it was so much dry goods. Every plank in this shipmei & is of poplar, and is stacked with great regularity in the cars, each car being filled fro oa ioor to roof, leaving a smill aisle m th centra of the car for the loalin and unloading force bo work in. Ea -h plank is carefully icsp e'ed by the railroai hands, ard a c nrect a3count is kept of all that are split or otlr-rwiss damaged. The trausfer of the luuib3r at Char litte is a tedious "piece of w.rk, and aa Observer reporter wis yesterday afforded a good opportunity to in spect som of tae Eu'ope-boand wealth of North Carolina forests. Sev eral lumber dealers w.re grouped around the cars admiring what they prouiuaced some. of the most beauti ful lumber they had ev r seen. The squirely cot poplar p'anks were well seisoned, dry aud light, ani were perfect, . being sonn 1 n.nd without knots. Tae planks var'e 1 in length fro n 1(! to 18 fe-1, and wera fr?m 1 o3 inches thick Th y were in vari ous widths, and through the aid of a fooL ruls it- wns f iunl that thi nar ro vest pi rA was 2 1 i-iches wid. , aud i'iQ broa'es" was 40 inch -s wide.

The be luty of this lumber consists not only in its size, but in it3 clearness and perfection. The European buy ers are authority for the stitemmt tbat no country in the world cm pro duce lumber superior to the shipment that is now being made to them.
