A larty of gentlemen spoke to us last Saturday in regard to the 4th of July. They thought that we 0ught to have a real big time. A grand oration in the morning. Have the cannon brought and employ Us obstreper ousncss to aid iri applause, a grand procession, the military, bntid, a fantastic biigade and the citizens to escort the orator through the princi pal street before the oration is delivered. We think this a capital idea. All our neighbor cities have had their big days and Salisbury raii6t not be behind tem.;- Several gentlemen ! were mentioned for the orator of the occasion, but they could find no belter person for the position than Prof. A. W. Oweni. He was interviewed, but would not consent, positively. He thought there ought to be a meeting and the orator se lected. 'We agree with him and knowing pur peo ple as wedo, wedonot hesitate toannounce'that there will be a public meeting in the court-house next Tuesday night the 30lh Inst. All are in vited to attend.

I hope this will 'be consideied fair and satisfy opposition to a great extent." u 2nd. The food voted by the last Legislature to tbe University was, according to Congietsioual re quirement, either to be applied to the! establishment of aa institution! in which: the Agricultural and Mechanical arts should be taught, or to . be pail hack to the United States. : Io either case the people wonld have the money to pay; bnt in pay ing to tbe University, THET get tub benefit of it as they would not, appreciably,! in the other case. ' " ; . i 4 Forthermore, the only practicable way of ap propriating a fund to tbe benefit of all the denonri nations alike, is to give it to aa institution which Lis designed, and constituted to bestow like benefiU, ioipartially, upon all the denominations. How else could it be done? What basis 'of devision is is concievable if you decide to, distribute auiong denomlnalioos T. What good would! be done, by such little sums as would fait to any one church ? No, sir: it h a common fnnd it is pltced, free of denominatioaaiym, in a public institution in which alj sects and all parties are represented. . h 3id. Instead of resenting courteous ii.quiries, the immediate agents of the University respectfully solicit all who are interested to make them. We are also thankful for all sngge-tions as to tbe best : course to be pursued to give the University a sure and permanent ehdownmeut and to render it as efficient as possible in the accomplishment of the gseat ends for which it was established. Of course no one enjoys nngenerons piejadgment 4th. The terms of the admission are not too high. They are as low as ' any intelligent man in the world wonld make the.n. if a boy has a barely respectable knowledge of the rudiments of English, he cau enter and take a course of studies. If he knows enough about grammar, arithmetic and geography to be able to duly profit by our instinc. tion, he is admitted and aided and encourage by the faculty. At the same time, in order to make and maintain a high standard, of scholarship, the requirements for thorongb graduation are, as they ought to be, quite extensive. Hence all classes are provided for. We offer those who have had fewer advantages, the best that they are capable of im proving; and we require of those that have pood preparation, the moat that they are competent to do. If a better plan can be proposed, it will le adopted. W thank you and the Democrat for the article that proponnded the questions. It is pleasant to be so remembered as to be inquired after. The session is dosing very gratifying!'. All are now working hard over the examinations. His cau for devout thanksgiving that there has not been a single case of severe sickness among the student during theear. The commencement promises to be truly interesting. Though there are no grad nates, there will be original addresses by reprcsen tatives of the two famous societies. These Kjeech. e will compare favorably with the better class of graduating addresses, though they are by! those who have not had the usual advantages. The iu- ptelligence about patronage next session is very en couraging. Weasktobe watched to be coun seled in the proper spirit to be held to onr duty to be aided only as the interest of the State! may demand and to be sustained by the members of the press and tho rest of onr fellow-citizens in au effort to bestow the lest possible tiairii g, intellect ual and moral, on our young meu. ! VKilL. Mrs. Susan II. Waddell, wife of Hon Hugh Wadded of Wilmington, has hi on appointed Corresponding Secretary of lha Historical Department in Indejiendance Hall, Philadel phia. It is her duty to collect i.i North Carolina such mementoes and souvenirs of the Revolu tion of 1776 as their owners may be willing to contribute for exhibition in Philadtlphialu ring the Centennial. There must be many in teresting relics of such a character in this section which furnished so many gallant spirits to the cause of freedom and was the scene of some of the most stirring events of the memor able struggle for Independence. .We herewith publish an appeal by Mrs. Waddell to the people of the State, and trust that it wili meet with a prompt and hearty response. It is proper to state that any article of the character indicated sent to Prof. Kerr at Raleigh will be carefully guarded by him, forwarded to Philadelphia, and at the close of the Centennial Exhibition, returned to the owner free of expense. MBS. ;WADDEIX'g APPEAL. Having been a.signed the duties of corres ponding secretary in North Carolina in the historical department of the museum in Inde pendence Hall, Philadelphia, I desire to ap lenl to the patriotic pride of my countrymen to furnish such memorials and souvenirs of the heroic struggle of J776 as may be in their possession, and are also illustrative of the gal lait part borne by their ancestors. Twelve.of the thirteen colonics fince be come States are now unrolling their historic pages for the purpose of embellishing the apartments appropriated to each, and we feel assured that tbe aon and daughters of our dear native land will never permit her to sit at the b:ise'of the monument to liberty and patriotism while her sister Slatas, without one star upon their brows more brilliant than hers. are dv me energy and hdelity of their children placed on the apex of t Tie pillar. Need we recall to North Carolinians the glorious record made by their fathers in resisting oppressive taxations, from the stamp tax of 176G to the tea tax of 1775, or touch the nerve that vi brates the name of Alecklengurg, or that of liotrtyV first libation at Moore's Creek Bridge, or that first instruction to her representatives inApril, 177C, to go for independence. Where shall we find deeds of any sister State surpas sing these? Can we be recreant in the presence of such aoul-stirriiig memories? If so, then indeed have the counsels of the wise been brought to naught, and the blood of the brave been shed in vain. We will not, we cannot believe it. Our appeal U to all who can bring souvenirs that shall vindicate the fame or brighten the escutcheon of the good i old-"North State." With such we shall be most happy to tor res pond, and we will take this occasion to say that we are authorized by the committees to guar antee the safe; return of every article which may be sen, through us, free of every expense of transportation, both to the city of Philapelpbia and when returned to their respective proprie tors.

Itidcpcr, din t Dlsorgan izcrs. Our level headed contemporary, the Wilson Advance, lifts up its voice against independent candidates and spares not. The Advance "sincerely hopes that the "Democratic party will be spared the in "fiictioii of independent candidates and 'disorganize! s iu ihe great political strug gle before us. The issues involved in "ihe campaign arc too mighty, and there "is too much at stake to tolerate disor ganization of any kind. Tbeie never "was much of an excuse for an independ ent candidate iu fact, we always re garded the name a misnomer ; for what "sort of independence is it, to be iude "pemletit of your own party friends, and "dependent chit fly 'on Radicals and ne "gioes for suppoit. That is what we "consider the most abject dependence.'' Rightly ppoki n adds the Wilmington Star : The is no reason in the toleration extended to men who for the love of no toriety . or the spoils of office present ihcmselves to be voted for by a few faithful friends and nearly or quito the whole body of Ihe oppo3iiion party. Toleration of such men as Conservatives is political treason. It woiks disastrously, breaking up the Conservative organization, encour aging the enemy, afiid promoting a spirit of selfish office-seeking, which is doing much to undermine our system of gov ernment. Office is honorably won and worn. But there is loo much love of office. The good of the people is lost sight of, and office -bearing from a duty becomes a wanton pleasure and a moral degradation. T We hope, with the Adoance, that we shall not be afflicted with independent candidates this year iu North Carolina, at least to any ; considerable extent. Heretofore in neaily every campaign there have been good parly opportunities lost by these pests ot Egypt plagues and abominations -who cover themselves in the thinnest of disguises, but who are yet dangerous when operating among the unenlightened and unwarv.''

We fiirfT the following obituary iu the Millinery Irade Iievieto. There U tme correction- which we are enabled to make which greatly enhances the grace ut a most praiseworthy act of the deceased life. It was on the occasion cf a thanks giving dinner given by Mr. Kahnweiler, to which all his old creditors were invi ted, and when they were all seated at the tab e they weregreatly surprised to find, each under his plate, check- for the seve ral amounts that were due thera. Mr. KahuwcuVr was horn in Germany and came to this country at a very earlv age with his parents who settled in Phil adelphia, 'j f -v fl ; -T ij He firat started life as a business man iu Wilmington, N.O., where he was soon recognized as the leading dry goods mer cbautof; the place ; combining with his other business a millinery department, he formed ihe foundation of his later sue cessful labors. Here he accnmalatedla fortune, but losing a greater portion oftit dunng tho war, he retired 16 Europe, where he made a prolonged stay. Re turning to this country again-it 186G, he commenced a fancy goods business In New Yoik. but being unfortuuafe. was compelled to compromise with haVcredtt- ors. paying 33 cents on the dollar. I lu 1769, iu conjunction withJiia broth- er in-laW,!Mr. August Lewis, he estab lished the business of ladies' trimmed hats, which rapidly developed into proportions so large that to-day his house is consid- ered the leading one in the bnsiness. On thanksgiving day of ihe year 1874, Mr. Kahnweiler performed an act whi.-h though s-midy just iu itself, hannens In seiaom among men that the names bf thosewho are honorable enough to do it should be recorded as brilliant examnlfes ..il . ri oi uonesty ana lutegnty. He visited all bis old creditors with whom he had for merly compromised, and to their great sur prise left them each a check for the old balance of the G7 cents on the dollar, wijh interest, thus wiping out what he always considered a stain upon his good reputla. tion, by paying in full 100 cents on the dollar. 1 .f I i . . . r v. Sinking of a Hotel into the Earth St Louis Journal, May 23. f Considerable excitement was created in ast St. Louis yesterday morning on the discovery that the Belleville House, a two storv frame just south of the Pittsburg Railroad aiid Coal Company's dike, near the southern limits of the city, had disappeared in tbe quicksand. The circumstances connected with the unusual oc currence are as follows: The house, which is used as a hotel, was built on piles, bat, a few days before, showed evidences of an inclination to sink into the earth. On Thursday night it sunk about two feet, but the proprietor, Air. F. W. Decker, not apprehending anything se rious, pait very little attention to the matter. On Friday night the guests went to bed as nual, but at a late hour the clerk, Mr. Geo. lleubner, discovered that tbe premises were getting rather unsettled, and gave the alarm. i r. . i. j . I, - , . utriuic me unique eou io realize wnat was going on the building had sunk fortv-eight feet, carrying with it ten persons. Alter con siderable difbculty they were all rescued, badly frightened, but not hurt. The backwater from the river soon surroiiuded the place where the house stood and wonld very probably have car ried it away if the gable end, all that is visible, had not been securely fastened with ropea to terra firma. Mr. Decker's loss on the building is about $6,000, and on the furniture about $1,000. Tbe house was recently pnrchased by its present proprietor, and in all probability it entirely disappeared last night, as very littlof it was visible al a late hour. FATAL ACCIDENT. We learn that last Saturday Mr. Frank Owens, who resides in Stokes county, softie four or live miles west from West field, acci dentally killed himself. The particular of the sad occurrence are as follows : Mr. Owens went to a neighbor's house to borrow a gun to kill some 'squirrels for a sick person. The laily of the honse let him have the gun, and he asked her il it was loaded. She replied that she di.l not know, but believed that it was. Mr. Owens then look the cap off and set the gun down to blew in it. Whilst blowing in the muzzle he took his foot and pushed the brimmer back, which coming down on the tube discharged the gun, literally blowing his head off. He leaves a wife and three children to mourn his sad fate. So says the M. Airy Watchman.

Walter McCurry, of McDowell county, nri pupil in Ihe institution tor the dear and dumb and blinJ, has invented a machine for splitting shucks for mattresses. The machine was built entirely under his directions, he not receiving a single suggestion from anv one. It is Mid by Lcompetunt judges to work admirably.
