Hon. Kemp P. Battle
President of the Universitv of North Carolina.
By birth, training, education, char
acter and experience Hon. Kemp P.
Ha-tie seems to have been the man in
North Carolina to most successfully
administer the affairs of this venerable
and honorable institutioa.
E.ich succeeding year since his inau
ration, as President, its gain and
growth in all the elements of solid work
and broad culture have but served to
confirm the wisdom of the trustees ii
electing 4nm by an almost unanimous
vote to this position in 1876.
His grand-father Joel Battle entered
this University in 1799, and his father
Judge W. H. Battle in 1818.
President Battle graduated from the
University in 1S49 with the higher
honors of his class, delivering the vali
dictorv address. He was for a time
I after he graduated a tutor in the Insti
tution evincing to a remarkable degree
thus early those characteristics which
have sines made him so conspicuous as
a leader in all the various spheres m
which, as a public man, he has been
called to act a strength of will and a
personal magnetism, that seems to lead
all to say
"We'll do thee homage,
And be ruled by thee." s
Among
his
upils at that time are
vet found in leading and responsible
ipOsitions, such men as Major ttooejt
Bingham, Hon. Alexander Mclver,
Hon. A. M. Waddell, Jno. W. Graham
land a host of others who have added
wealth and fame to the State br their
probity, work and character. In 1854
Mr. Battle resigned his position as
tutor and began the practice of law in
(Raleigh.
His practice soon came to be very
lucrative and his eminent abilities at
tracted so much attention that he was
soon elected to the office of State Treas
urer. He was foremost also in organ
izing the Bank of North Carolina and
wits at once made one of its leading
directors. He wa.s appointed at this
time a director of the Insane Asylum
and served for years on its executive
committee.
At the breaking out of the war he
wits a decided Union man, but he con
cluded to go with the south and was an
earnest supporter of Governor Vance
during his term of office who relied
greatly on li is judgment and ability in
the administration of affairs at that
critical time.
In 1S62 Mr. Battle was made Presi
dent of the Chatham R. R. Co. Of
course these official positions brought
him in contact with the leading men at
the financi d center of the t ite and he
was chosen not only to revise but to re
construct the revenue laws of the old
common-wealth. In 18C2 he was elect
ed a Trustee of the University and de
veloped the plan of the reorganization
of he Institution, on a broader basis of
culture than had 1)een thought possible
before.
Alter the war he was the first to de-
vise the scheme of reviving the North
Carolina Agricultural society, throwing
into it such an amount of vitality ex
perience and good judgment as to place
it at once upon a permanent footing and
insuring its success. The interests of
agriculture in North. Carolina areas
much indebted to President Battle as
the interests of sound learning. He is
not only deeply interested in the agri
culture development of the State but in
the diversified industries which manu- j
facturing enterprises bring within its
domain. He has always given the sub
ject of popular education and public
; schools his best thoughts, realizing as
he does, that all the higher institutions
I of learning lxth public and private are
constantly fed from this source. He
j has now wisely added to the other de-
partments of the State University a

University of North Carolina but tender
them our congratulations that they
were able to secure one of our most
promising, capable, and energetic Nor
mal school teachers in the person of
Prof. N. B. Henry and place him at
the head of this important department.
The eminent services of President
Battle not only as an educator, but as a
christian gentleman or the highest cul
ture have endeared him to all the peo
ple of North Carolina both old and
young- but hese qualities have attract
ed attention outside of the State and

lar and equally honorable recognition
has been given President Battle on
many other occasions so that he is recog

this new and better era of our advanc-

It is the desire of this beneficent man

SIOTJX AGAINST PAWNEES.
A Chiefs Story of a
Fignt.
Great Indian
THE PAWXEES 8UKPRISED BY THE SIOUX
AND SLAUGHTERED A MESSAGE SENT
BY P.USoNiJRS.
The Sioux Chief Red Shirt who is
with the VildWestUhow at the Amer
ican exhibition in London, lias been
interviewed. The following are ex
tracts from the report of the interview:
'Did you eversee Buffalo Bill until
you joined the show?" "Yes, I saw
him long ago; but we never spoke un
til a little while since. All men of ur
Sioux nation know Buffalo Ball by rep
utation. The'first time I saw him was
at the fight at War Barnard Creek,
when the white men were too many
for poor Indians. It was twelve or
thirteen years ago; but (and here his
bloodshot eyes twinkled omniously)
that fight I can see now. Buffalo Bill
in the struggle killed Yellow Hand,
a great Indian brave, and took his scalp.
I tried to fight my way to the white
man to revenge mv brother, and al
though we got very near I could not
reach him. Had we met one would
have died. B$t the soldiars were en
circling us; fixe of our men were shot
down and we led. Then we would
have killed each other; but now we
have the same heai t, and we are broth
ers. Colonel Cody is awful good to me
and mv people.
Asked if there was any other fight
in which he was engaged, Red Shirt
replied: Yes; I will tell you of a great
fiodit of the Sion.v nation with the PaW-
npps. who were alwavs bad Indians.
ThAxr h:id ntatlnnr wnnlo on the hnnt
and killed them; they had attacked
our villiages mnd carried away our
children, and their yonng braves came
like snakes in the grass and stole away
our horses. The Sioux nation offered
to make a treaty of peace with Paw
nees, but the bad Indians refused, and
the grand council of Sioux sat down to
discuss how we should punish these
bad people, and every Chief there spoke
for going on the war path. Then we
made ready to fight. It is fifteen vears
ago, and f was a 3'oung Chief then; bat
my father whp was a great Chief, was
on the war path, and I was eager to
prove myselt a great warrior m his eyes.
1 collected my young men and we set
out, altogether 1,300 strong, under six
teen big Chiefs. The most experienced
warriors-were sent on two days' march
n advance to scout, and scouts were
hrown out on every side to guard
a' 1
against surprise, r or eigiit days our
braves marched against the enemy, and
then some srie3 came back and told its
that they had found the Pawned" village.
Many ot the f awnee braves were on a
big hunt, but nearly all the remainder
of the tribe were at the village. We
gathered round the camp without being
discovered, and the great Chiefs told
the young men how the battle was to
betought. .Not till the signal wasgiven

had killed ours, and revenge is sweet to
the red mm. All, however were not
killed, for we took thirty-six squaw pris
oners and carried them back to the Sioux
camp, where we were hailed with
shouts of victory, for we had brought
back with us over five hundred scalps
to show that these bad Indians had
beert punished. Besides, we had all
their norses and stores and trophies to
make glad the hearts of our squaws.
The fight took place in the southern
part or uig Beaver; out Hie wmte man

on our best horses and loaded with
presents, and the message we sent with
them was that we tried to make a treaty
with them, but they would not listen
to our words, and they continued to
attack our people and steal our horses.
Now we had killed all we could find
except the women, and these we sent
back to tell them how we punish bad
Indians who interfere with the Sioux
nation.

A Gruff Old Fellow.
On a railway train, a woman, pale
and careworn, sat holding a fretful
child. "Hush now; don't cry;' she
said, pressing her face against the
child's face. "That awful man"
meaning a gruff old fellow who sat
near "will come over here and snap
i 1 nr Till li

ful face he is making at us. Please
don't cry and we 11 see papa after
awhile. Oh, mercv, he is coming," she
said, as the gruff looking old fellow ap
proached her.
"I tan t m sike her hush, sir, she
said, pleadingly. "1 know thsit it s
very annoying, but I really can t help
it."
"Let me tsike her."
The woman, fearing to disobey, suf
fered him to tike the child, who, too
much astonished to cry, meekly submit
ted. The gruff man walked up an down
the car and once the trembling woman
fancied that she saw him press the child
to his bosom- When he returned the
little girl to her mother, the woman
asked :
"Are you fond of children, sir?"
"I I hardly know," he replud,
looking away. "I suppose I am. I
loved I say I received a dispatch this
morning telling me that my little girl
is dead."
He sat dowijj and a moment later, a
woman who had just got on the train
turned to a companion and said :
"Gracious me; just look at that gruff
old fellow. I wouldn't have him speak
to me for all the world. Arkansatc

Terrible Fpjht in a Bear Pit.
Philadelphia Dispatch, 2-tth ult., to the New
Turk Herald.
G ,
Taere was a fierce fight among the
bears at the &oWwictJ Gardens thin
afternoon, the battle lasting nearly one
liAin. -
About a year ago the society was
presented with a beautiful little black
bear, which had been caotured in an
unsettled portion of the State. At the
time of its presentation the animal was
too young to be put in the pit with the
other bears so it was placed in a cage
adjoining the lion and tiger house. i
Day by day it grew laner and more
beautiful. It was the pet of the "Zoo." i
Last week Headkeeper Byrne eame to j
the conclusion that it was old enough i
to affiliate with the; other beasts. It
was named "Bessie," and on Monday
last was placed In the pit with fire oth
ers of various species.
All the brutes with the exception of
Danger, a big, cruel looking grizzly,
took kindly to the new-comer and show
ed it marked attention, and it was not
long before the dormant jealousy of the
grizzly was aroused, and he began to as
sume a threatening attitude.
This atternoon Bessie, being in an
especial sportive mood, plavf ully tapped
the grizzly alongside of tne head with
her paw. Danger retaliated by knock
ing Bessie clear across the stony enclos
ure, and taking a piece out of her neck.
The tsiste and sight of blood, so long de
nied the grizzly, seemed to infurate it
to the utmost.
The black bear crave vent to cries of
fear and pain, and Keeper George Har
rison, who happened to be near by, seiz
a short iron bar and made a rush for
the pit.
The visitors, hearing the affrighted
cries of the bear and rightly conjectur
ing that something was amiss, hurried
after the intrepid keeper.
Harrison, who is a man of magnifi
cent build, entered the pit from the
rear and sprang in the midst of the
snarling, snapping, fighting brutes,
striking right and left.
The crowd of men, women and child
dren that hung over the-iron railings
gazed with partid face3 down upon the
combat, which was being waged with
fierce intensity.
Frenzied with rage and bleeding from
a score of ut;ly scratches, the big griz-
J ' J ' v . . . i . i uv lUV Mill tu AtCJIVl IUJU
bore him heavily to the floor.
"Oh, My God, he'll be torn to pieces!"
shrieked a woman, holding her hands
before her eyes to shut out the scene of
death that was momentarilv expected.
Concentrating all his powerful
strength, Harrison struggled and re
gained his feet. The grizzly, backed
up by the other bears, renewed the at
tack. "Come out or you'll be killed," yelled
a man.
Harrison made no reply -but taking
a firmer hold dealt the nearest animal
a blow on the head that sent it gyrat
ing across the pit. In an instant the
six frenzied brutes closed around the
keeper, who fought with the strength
of a maniac. He handled the shaggy
coated animals as if they were puppies.
But excited to the highest tension they
seemed not to feel the force of his
blows.
Such a contest, where the odds were
so uneven, could not last long. Harri
son's terrific struggle begsin to tell on
him, and the bears were as savage in
their attacks as ever, and the spectators
trembled with excitement.
At tins juncture HeadUeepflr Byrne,
followed by Keepers Ft rd, Shannon
md Murphy, arrived with stout club.
and entered the pit. After a .lively
struggle of ten minutes' duration they
succeeded in subjugating the brutes.
Stretched upon the stone floor, if s
eyes covered with the film of death,
was the body of "Bessie." The other
bears crouched in one corner and growl
ed sullenly at their keepers.
Harrison, his clothing torn in strips
and his face, limbs and bosom indenteu
and bloody from the claws of the
brutes, staggerod out of the pit to re
ceive ui'Min assistance.
Said he to a Herald correspondent :
"I've travelled with circuses for many
years, and hsid many encounters with
animals, but this one eclipses them all."
The Eoad to Wealth.
No man better understood this road
than Abraham Lincoln. And heie is
what he said about it in his first an
nual message : "There is no such re
lation between capital and labor as as
sumed, nor is there any such thing s s
a free man being fixed for life in the
eondition of a hired laborer. Both
these assumptions are false, and all in
ferences from them are groundless.
Many independent men everywhere in
these Stsites a few vears back in their
mm m it m
lives were hired laborers, ine pru
dent, penniless beginner in the world
labors for wages tor awhile, saves a sur
plus with which to buy tools or land
for himself, then labors on his own ac
count for another while, and at length
hires another n?w beginner to help him.
This is the iust and generous system
which opens the way to all, gives help
to all. and consequentlv energy and
progress and improvement of condition
to all."

township in Cleveland county. He
erected a ten by t welve turf house, and
had the satisfaction of knowing it was
the largest (and only) house in town.
One day he slipped over to the county
seat and urged the county commission
ers into appropriating $4,000 to build
a four-room school house with a cupola,
took the contract to build it himself,
had his wife appointed schoclmarm at
$40 a month to teach his seven tow
headed, stub-toed bovs, and went home.
He built the school house, and it was a
daisy. One day the business end of a
cyclone played hob with Jeb's sod
house, and dropped it somewhere in
Manitoba. Halloway gathered his
family together and camped on the ox
cart for two weeks. Then an idea
struck him, and he went behind the
only tree in fifteen counties and kicked
himself. Two hours later his wife was
frying sausage in the school house and
he was sitting on the front steps in his
stocking feet.
He lived there for nearly ayear. One
day a prairie schooner hove in sight
and halted at the school house. An
enormous "Egyptian," climbed out and
unlimbered.
"This yer an inn?"
"Naw.'"
"Yourn ?"
"Naw."
Then the confiding Hall

Halloway looked dubious, but the
stranger had eight strapping big boys,

he quietly succumbed. Then the
Egyptian insisted that the school

use it in paintanaking afterwards) as
far as you wish the line of separation
to be. Next get a rod of iron :is long
as possible, but small enough to go into
the moutlvof the bottle. Make the iron
almost white hot, and dip it into the oil.
In a very short time a crack will be
heard, when the iron can be taken out
and the bottle will be found as neatly
cut as if with a diamond.

Cows Hot Giving Down Milk.

the milk. These are distributed
through the udder, and there are sev
eral circumstances whicli tend to make
a cow shorten this rehixation. Rough
treatment, fear, grief, solicitude, loud
noises, etc., are among them. The
I i. iL. t-i . t'Wmm'
circumstances inducing a prolongation
or the relaxation are comfort and quiet
tude, together with therelief afford
ed by the flow of milk.
The best way, according to the au
thority quoted from, is to avoid all oc
casion or disturbance and observe those
which promote pleasure .and quiet for
the cow and to milk as rapidly as pos
sible consistent with comfort, with a
view to getting the milk before the
"letting down" ceases. Milking rapid
ly does, not mean jet-king sharply or
moving with hasty or irregular motions
in the presence of the cow. . Sucji a
course would attract thcvery thing
aimed at. The motion of the milker
should not be such as to attract btfr
suspicions. They should be deliberate
and cool, but when set down to the
milking, let nothing be allowed to in
terrupt or retard the work This will
" i i" itji-
uiuuce continual letting down, by inv-
g reiiet to the udder. The milker
should bear constantly in mind the
fact that the letting down is short and
that every moment should beavailed df
to the best advantage. v Wfafti the
milk ceases to flow the milking ' should
stop at once, whether the milt is all
out or not. There is no use in hang
ing on after it stops coming, as this
only cultivates and confirms the habit
of "holding back." To give a cow the
least possible occasion for holding back
her milk is the best wayto prevent her
forming such a habit, and the surest
and reiidiest way to make her forget it
after it has deen formed. To break up
the objectionable habit, let the milking
be quick, but easy and regular.
Interesting Cure of Insanity.
An interesting instance of fighting
insanity by insanity has recently been
noticed among the Blackwell's Island
patients. Two lunatics had been re
ceived who were disposed to commit
suicide. In addition each possessed a
special delusion, one to the effect that
he was a cow, the other that his head
was an iron, ball, and was to be rolled
along the floor. They carried these be
liefs into action, one striking his head
against the padded walls of his cell, the
other rolling his head, and of course
his body with it, along the floor. The
two patients were placed together and
each was privately informed of the
other's weaknesses and warned to watch
his companion to prevent him taking
his own life. Thus each had a charge
in the other. Their vigilance was un
cesising. Eaeli supposed himself per
fectly sane, and this belief was acconi?
panied by considerable scorn for the
other's weakness of intellect and ac
compauyiug delusions. Gradually un
der the influence of this treatment the
patients were observed to improve. To
have their attention centered on definite
duty and on objects external to them
selves proved a tonic for their diseased
minds, and gradually a complete cure
was effected, and they received their
discharges from the asylum. Scientific

It is said that in Portland, Me., there
is a man with u false nose, a glass eye,
but three fingers and one thumb, one
ear, false teeth, false hair and. a cork
leg. For all this he is the liveliest man
in Portland. He walks ten niilesevery
day, rain or shine. He lias had three
wives, aud survives them all. and hasre-
l fused five chances to get married again,
so he says, since he buried his last wife,
about a year ago.
