Wo have just received information that tbo life of one of the most rcmarka blo men that ever lived in North Caroli na terminated a lew days ago at his homo, about five miles north of Tiinity Col lege. The name of this unfortunate being is Jay Hill, aud at the time of his death he was nearly 70 years of ago. He has been an idiot from birth, bet since iu fancy has possessed physical si length to a rare degree aud was well formed in every particular with tbe exception of his head, which was so extremely ill shaped as to give him more the appear ance of a beast than a man. When but a child he was often so violent that it was necessary to chain him to the floor. Notwithstanding this unnatural existence be grew and strengthened day by day until his chain was not sufficient to hold him, and two or three times be broke loose and fled to the woods. During his brief liberty he was as violent as a tiger, and it was dilli cult to recapture and return him to his place of confinement. lie was fastened with stronger bonds, and with the excep tion of a few days he remained chained to the floor in the same room for about fifty years. He bad an insatiate desire for tearing to pieces anything that he could get, and at times it was impossible to keep him clothed. Flax was spun into coarse, strong threads and woveti into cloth which was doubled and quilted and made into garments fur him, but with his teeth and talon like fingers he tore them iuto threads. He has been known to tear to pieces a solid stick of hickory wood with noth ing out his teetn ana lingers. He ate as ravenously as a lion and could drink, without the slightest pain, boiling coffee. lie was very daugerous. On several occasions different members of the fami ly narrowly escaped being killed by him. One evening a sifter started to go out of doors. She passed too near him and he sprang at her with great force, knocked her through the open door iuto the yard, so badly injuring her that it was not thought possible ior her to live. The writer has often at enventide heard his demoniac veils when more than a mile distant. His father provided for him before his death, lcaviug property euough to maintain a wretched life through all these years. It was stipulated in the will that he should not be taken to an asylum, and that he should be kept on the old homestead. Greensboro Xorlh' Shite. WE STICK TO OUR MAN. Some of our people are rather previous iu nomiuatiag a candidate for Governor as the election is a long way off. We have no objection to Mr. J. S. Carr, and think he would make a good Governor, but we have a man whose headquarters is anywhere in N. C. and feels at home in the humblest household from the moun tains to the sea shore. He possesses a great big charitable heart, as well as be ing one of the brainest men in (he State and we rise from our old split bottom chair and uouiinate the noble Dr. B. F. Dixon, tho father of the orphans, as the man above all others most suitable to be next Governor of the Old North State. He can do as much as any man to foster and encourago every enterprise that will advance the interests of our people. Ox ford Ledger.

The Richmond correspondent of the New York Herald sends the following to bis paper: Here is a true story of ex rebel officers at Richmond. On the night before the unveiling of the Lie statue about a score of them, wiih their friends, were sitting in the Westmoreland club, when one of theui, an officer of high Confederate rank, now a resident of New York city, said: 'I see that Representative Flower, of New York, has introduced a resolution, asking Congress to give 25(1,000 toward building the monument that city prom, wed to erect to General Grant. I hope it won't be done. New York should re deem her promise, and it is to her shame that she has not. I see that Congress proposes to give .iUii,UUO to erect a monument in Washington. That is right. Grant should be buried at Ar lington. 'Now, I have been prosperous and have means. I propose to wait until September 1. and if at that date New York has not raised the money for tbe monument she agreed to erect I intcud to start a subscription of Southern men and head it with 20,000. I will then ad vertise for subscriptions iu every southern newspaper and limit them to Southern men." There was a momentary silence, when a leading ex-officer rose and said, "I agree to add 5,000 to your subscrip tion." Then, in quick succession, officers rose and pledged various sums, until with in a few minutes 50,000 had been thus raised. If names could bo given the public would see that these were no idle boasts, but the words and subscrip tions of sncn able to pay the sums they pledged and intending to go into the movement. COME BACK FROM DEATH. Last week Miss Polly Luusford, of Gaddistown, Fnionr county, Ga., aged 1C years, was taken suddeuly ill, and Dr. Jones, of Aathens, was summoned to her bedside. He pronouueed her illness due from cold and exposure, and told the mother of the young lady that there was little chance for her daughter's recovery. For three days the young lady grew worse, and on Tuesday morning, to all appearances, died. The neighbors and friends of the family had gathered in, and the body of the dead girl was pre pared for burial. Her arms were crossed over her breast and her eyelids closed. No color of life was visible in her cheeks. Her hands and face were cold, as if dead, Her pulse had ceased to beat. The cof fin was sent for. But as the mother and friends of tho deceased sat around ber inanimate form and mourned her as dead, she suddeuly returned to life. Unaided, she arose from her bed aud went to the water buck et and drauk a glass of water.

Ladh- ; the Huh hjirund Minnrud :.M ic id inn : All nature seems to be in sympathy with this day. The sun in bis journey northward has waked the earth from its wiutcr'sslumbeisjhas tinle 1 the ever chang ing skies with Southern beams; has filled the woods with tho melody of birds; has ladeiied the air with the fragrance of flowers; has clothed with verdure the fields and tho trees, whilst the grass in its meridian glory is weaving its garlands above the hillocks beneath which our dead heroes are sleeping. Upon this me morial occasion; on this sacred ground, dedicated by womau's love to ber depart ed countrymen, let us pause. Lot us paisc aud utter one blessed expression of reverence and affection in comuieuion tion of those who crossed the icy river amid the angry shoutings of captains and the wild carnage of battle, and now "rest uuder tbe shades of the trees." In his tour to the Hebrides, Dr. Johnson wrote: ''Thai man is little to be envied whose patriotism would not gain force upon the plains 'lit Marathon or whose piety would not grow warmer among tho ruins of Iona." Cold indeed must be that Southern heart, which can stand unmoved amid these graves aud contemplate that hero ism which culminated in defeat, and Ithauk Iim, before whom angels and archangels aud cherubims continually bow that in the hearts of the purest and sweetest wo men of which time has any record, that these are receiving that adulation and gratitude which has never before been rendered, except to the conqueror. Of them we may say almost in the inguagc of Pericles in his ovation over the Grecians slain in battle. Having thus bestowed their lives upon their country they have achieved a praise which will never decay, a sepulchre which will always be most illustrious. Not that in which their bones lie moul- dcriuj' but that iu which their fame is preserved to be on every occasion in which honor is the employ of pen or tongue, eternally remembered. The whole earth is their sepulchre, nor is the inscription ou the column in their native soil needed to show their merit, but tho memorial of them, better than all inscription, iu every nation re- posited more durably in remembrance than upon their own tombs. The fame of the Confederate soldier, being thus secured, time, the great justi- fier, will record on imperishable- tablet, with golden lettered nieution, the sub lime graudeur of their Christian leader, Robert Edward Lee. And the poet and the orator with the historian will vie in preserving invioalatc the ever-increasing glory of America's grand soldier, Stone wall Jackson, the immortal. Though reasons of policy may prevent the rec tion to the Confederate soldier of .a natioual monument, yet the dead Confederate soldier will never be forgot ten. Gentle women throughout this Southern land has erected mouumcuts in his honor. At North Carolina's State capital there has been i reeled such a col umn At its base is sleeping a young Confederate soldier, who dfing wrote these lines, which Ids fair countrywomen had engraved iu the oolil m.tiblo abuve his head: "Sleep, soldier, sleep; the struggle, the hattle cry is hushed. tur standards have heen lowered, our blooming hones been crushed, Sleep! lor thy name is cherished by the p! lor thy name is cherished by bravest and best. Aud soldier s hearts and women's tears are with thee in thy rest." Let their noble sacrifices lead us to become better men and women. Could I make the granite ami the marble, dedi cated to thorn, speak aloud I would siy: Oh monuments erected by the people's love, commemorate the deeds of her he roes, whisper to our grand children's grand childred, that ny their faithfulness have showu us that iheie is one tliiuj greater than su:cess, and better than life it is the spirit of honor and devotion to duty. And further will anuounce to ull - who will hear, that we their surviving broth ers are willing to bear hko testimony with our bloi.il, iu behalf of a re-united aud happy union. THE UNIVERSITY. I'ltOF. WILLIAMS SUCCEEDS I)K. MAN (IUM A I'H.Mlt OF HISTORY EN DOWED. The 05th annual commencement of the University of N. C. was held last week. Col. Walter L. Steele, resident of the Alumni association, iu a eharacti tistio and humorous speech, announced the ex ercises of the day. lion. John Manning announced the presence of Judge James Grant, formerly of Iowa, but now of Grant Springs, Cab, who had won honor and wealth in a di.-tant State, who had returned home to his Alma Mata, promp ted by a love of the home of his youth. I'r. Manning then moved, and it was carried by acclamation, to elect Judge Grant honorary president of tbe Alumni association. R. II. Battle, Esq., was then intro duced, and delivered his address on the life of Dr. Charles Phillips. W. J. Peele, Esq., of Raleigh, then presented the tablet erected to the mem ory of Prof. Graves of old students. Mr. Peele's address was a clear cut portrait of the lamented Prof. Graves. Col. W. II. S. Burgwyn was next in troduced. His address was a long and full and careful resume of the most im portant epoches iu the history of the State. 'The necessity for preserving the memorials of the past aud of trans mitting to posterity a just impartial his tory of North Carolina." Col. Burgwyn, began his address by combatting the claim made by President Haven, that the University of Michigan was the old est institution that may rightly be termed a State institution. It was not until 1817 that steps were taken to establish the university of Michigan. The Halifax convention in November of 177G declared that a university ought to be established, and in 1789 the legis lature proceeded to carry out the noble resolution of the Halifax Congress. The claim would not have been made if the people of North Carolina had secured an accurate history of the State. Colonel Burgwyn then proceeded to give a valu able account of the most interest events in the history of the Stale. We, in North Carolina, have had His torians, but our history is yet to be writ ten. Tho History of our State must be justly written, published to the world and transmitted to Pesteiity, in order that our own character and that of our ances tors may be vindicated from calumny, and may endure as a piiceless heritage for the youth of future generations. This work must be done at the Univer sity of the State, around which cluster the glories of a century, and where the State must look for its best, loftitst and noblest culture in literature, science aud art here in this vast building, erected by the patriotism of the peop'e, dedicated to noble purposes, iu the pres ence of this large assembly of the noblest aud best, of the beauty and wit of our land. The Chair of History was endowed by the Alumni Association. There was a large aud bii'.liant meeting of the Alum ui aud great enthusiasm prevailed. The endowment matter was begun by Prof. G. T. Winston, who read a letter from Mr. D. G. Worth, of Wilmington, donating one thousand dullars towards the endowment. Mr. J. S. Carr lollowcd the announce ment iu a gloriously effeetuid and elo quent speech which brought tears to th eyes of many. He closed his rennnks by doualing ten thousaud dollars to the endown'i-iit. Col. W. H. S Burgwyn, of Ilendersi a, followed with a learned, eloquent and patriot ic alumni oratiou, and gave one thousaud dollars. Subscription of five hundred dollais each were made by Hon. John Manning Prof VeiiiibUi, Judge Phillips, Jude Gilmer, fob Walter L. Steel, Mr. Ed C Smith, Mr. John D. Currie and General R. Barrinjrcr. Other lontributions rais the amount to 17,000. Then Governor Fu.v.e arose, and amid thundering applause, announced that his distinguished kinsman, Judge Grant, of Iowa, would make his subscription 8,000 thus raising an endowment of 25,000 for the chair. The Hoard of Trustees, with singular unanimity, elected Prof. Horace II. Wil liams us the successor to Dr. Mangum. He graduated at the University and ob tained tho degrees M. A. and J). A. in 18815. He spent several years studying Mental and Moral Philosophy. Ho was Professor of this chair at Trinity College and gave great satisfaction. Ho then obtained a fellowship at Harvard and has been studying Mental and Moral Philosophy aud Theology at that institu tion. Mr. Williams is a native of Gates county a young man about o0 years of age and is a licensed minister to the Methodist Episcopal Church. South. There is no young man in the State who has such scholastic athiinmeuts, or who is so peculiarly qualified to succeed Dr. Mangutn. A student of Dr. Man gum's, ho always entertained a loyal ven eration for his late instructor whose man tle he is to wear. Degrees of Doctor of Divinity were conferred upon Rev. F. L. Ileid, editor of tho Christian Advocate, of Raleigh aud upon Rev. J. II. Cordon, pastor of Edeuton street Methodist church, of Raleigh. Degree of Doctor of Law was conferred upon Justice Walter Clark, of the Supreme court and degree of Bach elor of Arts upon Prof. St. Clair Hester, of English literature department of the University. THE HAND OF PROVIDENCE. The Atlanta Constitution gives a little story, which we take occasion to use, in which one can almost sec the hand of that mysterious Providence which guides and guards our lives. A mother and her babe were seated in a car on one of the railroads goiug out from Philadelphia. The woman sat near an open window, holding her babe in her arms, it was Icapins aud laushins. clapping its hands as the traiu dashed on at a rapid rate of speed. Suddenly a sliafp curve was rounded, the coach gave lurch, and out of the coach went the baby out, into the arms of death ! But that was only as they thought. The distracted mother rushed to the doorv and would have sprung from tho platform, but the passengers restsained ber; the bell rang, the cngiue pulled up, and a huudred men went iu search of the baby, expecting to fiud only its mangled re mains on the road. But there, on a soft cushion of grass, it was unhurt, and aughing and clapping its hands still ! It was nothing short of a miracle. Perhaps, when from that flying train the baby fell to w hat seemed certain death, it was caught in the arms of an unseen angel and clasped to a breaat as tender as its mother's. Who knows? Weak Women. The more sensitive nature of the fe male sex -renders w omen much more sus ceptible than niMi to those numerous ills which spring from lack of harmony in the system. The nervous system gives wa, sick h;. d c' e is frequent, the appe tite is lost, aud ether ailments peculiar to tbe sex cause great suffering.
