which is the only mark that points out -the

The feuce is the same as no fence, at all, in

pony was "exP? rtjeid from wherever Sliutland

Shetland pony and that the pony in question was
nn American animal.! The lady seemel deter
mined that theShutland Isles should not be lost
in oblivion by Iter companion, and by way of
a clincher replied ihat "aheknew it was a Sfiut

Kot it from the man that made Shutland ponies."

Fourth of July. 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. The business of the meeting
will be to elect Or Select an orator and appoint
a committee to fix up a programme and see that
it is carried through. ' j

taken from tbe Charolotte Demock at, containing
several qaestioa aboat the University of the State
We desire all oar friends to be thus frank, and give

1st Every coonty in tie State is entitled to fend
one studenf free of tuition. "TLere are five here at
present, under that provision. Beyond Uiisrr

the means to pay. is welcomed to the iUnive;sity snd
iu privileges fiee of tuition. : That is one of the
most liberal offers ever made by, t-a j institution in
tbis.coantry. 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

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

during theear. The commencement promises to
be truly interesting. Though there are no grad

graduating addresses, though they are by! those
who have not had the usual advantages. The iu-

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. '

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.''

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.

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.
STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.;
Last evening the executive committee Of
this society held a meeting at the office of tlie
secretary. Messrs. RIacknall, Hines, Creech,
Nichols, Arrington and Denson were present.
A programme for the ensuing fair was marked
out. The committee will endeavor to make
the coming exhibition the most complete ever
held in the State. The resignation of Major
John Deverenx as secretary was received add
adopted, and Capt. C. B. Denson of Pitts boro
elected in his stead. Captain Denson will en
ter at once upon the discharge of the duties of
his office. That he will make an efficient and
zealons officer is beyond all doubt. Raleigh

INVENTION BY A BLIND BOY.
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. Walter
is too xxr lo get a patent for his invention, so
here is a chance for some benevolent pereon to
help a poor, afflicted and deserving boy on the
road to fame and fortune. It is said that there
is money in tbe invention, and mayhap in
helping Walter along money might be gained
by the helper. '"Cast thy bread upon the wa
ters," etc., and so on. Raleigh &n ad. -

A Widely Applicable Eeinedy,
Few remedies are applicable to such a wide
range of disorders as Ilostetter's Stomach
Bitters, and this not because it has special
proprieties adapt, d to tbe cure of each such a
pretense would be manifestly absurd but on
account of its wonderfully improving effect
upon the general tone of the system, and its
alterative action upou the organs of nutrition,
secretion and discharge. Besides its wel
known proprieties as a remedy tor intermit!
tent aud remitteut fevers, dyspepsia, constS
pation, torpidity of the liver, general debility,
urinary and uterine difficulties, it invariably
proves to be highly serviceable in overcoming
anoemia, hypochondria, rheumatism, insom
nia, and many other disorders and disahiliticl
originating in poverty or impurity of the bloody
