THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
The Raleigh News says that "the
first session of the new life of the
University has been an encouraging
one, and promises healthy and vigor
ous life. In truth the uumber in at
tendance was larger than could have
been expected, because io September,
when the exercises were opened,
most young men had already entered
institutions whose sessions com
menced earlier in the season. .; There
is no question that the rmmber of
students will be largely increased
next session, for the management so
far has been wise and prudent.'
The News is gratified that the ex
periment tried during the past ses
sion of boarding in mess for nine
dollars per month each student dem
onstrates that the University of
Xorth Carolina is one of the cheapest
institutions in the country, and an
swers the objection thai?it would be
too expensive for any but the sons of
rich men. Chapel Hill, in truth, is
no longer the place to which idle
sona of wealthy fathers resort to vie
with each other in extravagance.
Concerning the Presidency the
Neics acknowledges it has no infor
mation, but infers "that the present
financial condition of the University
does not yet iastify the appointment
of a President with the large salary
required to secure the necessary high
talent, qualifications and influence.
The appointment is still deferred to
a future day, and in the meantime,
the Chairman of the Faculty will at
present perform the functions of
President."
We regret that the Trustees' at
their recent meeting did not see fit to
allow the publication of more facta
in regard to the progress made in re
storing the University. Great and
general interest is felt in the work.

THAT EXCURSION.
Keiarn of (be Ceateaalal Excursion-isM-Wfeat
It Said Aat the VlalC
Tbe Hauqaet, '
iSpecial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, Dec. 19.
The larger portion of the excur
sionists who went to Philadelphia on
Friday returned last night, reaching
here shortly past midnight.. The
Philadelphians undoubtedly did a
smart thing in getting this excursion
uj. The details were carried out ad
mirably. Tbe guest were all housed
at the first hotels of the city, with
every possible attention paid to their
cbmtort. The greatest surprise was
exhibited .by all the visitors at the
magnitude of the exposition build
ings, which is perfectly astonishing.
The banquet spread on Saturday
afternoon at Horticultural Hall Was
an extremely elaborate and handsome
affair. . Plates were set for about 900
persons and yet there was a very
large amount of unoccupied room in
the hall, which is one of the smallest
of the exhibition buildings.
Bishop Simpson, one of the origi
nal third-termers, stood up. over the;
President who sat in . tbe middle of'
the room, facing the whole company,
and said grace. The President dis
played his hearty appreciation of the'
good things blessed by the Bishop.'
A couple of boxes of cigars were
placed in front of him, and when he
had finished eating he put bis bat on
and commenced ''upon the 1 cigarsi1
The first toast was to the Presi
dent It bad been circulated around
that the President intended to make
a speech, and all V; were onMtbe qui
nificant allusions bearing on the isms
of lhe day.' Tbsy were disappointed,
however, K for .the President simply
bow and lcept on with his smoking.
Ex-Speaker Blaine, who sat a few seats'
from the President, responded to the
toast to commerce. He was greeted
wenfce 9 with terrifioeheers, and
there was an evident attempt.to give
a personal significance to the demon
stration, in view of his being a candi
date for the Presidency. The Presi
dent soon got tired of the speeches,
and attended . by his ever faithful
Philadelphia companion,- he retired.
..The, speeches. were all concluded
before six o'clock, at which time the
special train started on its return to
Washington. The entire expenses of
the excursion, from first to last, were,
It is understood, met by the citizens
of Philadelphia, not one cent Of tne
centennial f funds being used. The
impression produced upon Senators
and members wa very favorable, and
the centennial "commission are per
fectly confident that they will be able
to get the appropriation asked for
without serious objection.

Two more car-loads of the wood donated
to the Ladies' Benevolent Association by
Mr. J. B. Wilkinson and tbe Carolina Cen
tral Railway Co. through CoL Fremont
have arrived and been made ready for de
livery on orders coming through the proper
channel. : Mr. Jas. A. Springer continues
to deliver the wood to the poor in all parts
of the city without charge. The ladies are
to be congratulated on the-enlistment in be
half of their cause of such hearty sym
pathizers as these, enabling them to supply
the worthy poor with wood at absolutely no
cost to themselves for either the value of
'the wood, freight or drayage. We under
stand that Mr. Wilkinson is willing to fur
nish, for tbe next two or three months, at
his mill on the line of the railroad in Bladen
county, as much green wood as the Asso
ciation may require to supply the wants of
tbe poor, making no charge therefor. On
this wood the Association would have to
pay cost of loading on cars and some freight
charge, probably, as it would seem rather
too much to ask the railway company to
continue to carry it free. It remains to be
seen whether it can' be delivered here
cheaper in that way than it can be bought
from dealers.

Work on the foundation for the new

Nutt street, is progressing rapidly and it is
rUmored that it is 1 expected to have the
building in a condition for use within thir
ty days. The new pier constructing for
the companies is also coming along well
towards completion, and as tbe Common
Council, at its last meeting, gave permission
f of thVdf ivirig of temporary1 piling beyond
the end of the pier, for the purpose of.
mooring a vessel there in such a way as o
cut out the san'd from the bottom of the
ri7er, it is believed that a sufficient depth of
waterfwillscbVtained to enable the
largest vessels to load there. This improve
ment, with the new warehouse close at
hand.will add greatly to the facilities of the
two roads for the dispafch 6t business. .
