It is a better thing to have greatness thrust upon yon. Fred Grant, eldest son of Ulysses, is a good kind of a fellow in his way, as his West Point companions testify. But whilst his classmates are simple Lieutenants, Fred is Colonel. And this simply because he is the son .of the mighty Ulysses. VVie know a young North Carolinian who stood a long way above Fred in the class, and who has served some eight years, mostly' on the frontier. He is still a Lieutenant of Cavalry, whilst Fred signs his name "Colonel," by the grace of fa voritism. These things make a man think so highly of American fair-play and justice. And now "Colonel" Fred, covered with laurels won on the "peace establishment" and in cities, has leave of absence to hasten to Europe to accompany his famous "big-dad on his junketings. We agree with the Baltimore Gvzetle that it is highly desirable that he should "occasionally copy off the log of the Richmond and send it to some enter prising third term paper in this coun try. It would be painful at this juuoture to have a hiatus in the his torical travels of the Grant family. It is necessary to a proper state of public anxiety that there should be continuity in the annals of Ulysses, the Modern Wanderer." more InYestiffatlon ILte cipher Dis patches tbla Time.

Greensboro correspondent of Raleigh Obtenerz Our people- have assur ances of the early completion of the Fay etteville road to this point.

Two graves have no monuments or stones. Those with tombs are Lewis B. Holt, of Orange county; Zenas Johnson, James T. Smith, of Anson county; and John A.

Perry, of Texas, of the Philanthropic Society. We learn this from a Chapel Hill letter in the Raleigh Observer. A negro woman, named Luce Hutching, aged 60, was found frozen to death, at Raleigh, on Thursday night. The JTetM says: It was in evidence before the jury of inquest that she was at times, de mented, and while in that condition would tear off her clothing. The body presented no appearance of any bruises or wounds, nor were any found upon medical examina tion. , The skin of both knees was torn off, doubtless caused by her attempts to crawl up the hill. The verdict of the jury was death from exposure to the cold. V The Legislature meets on i the 8th of January. Thus far there are' not more than forty-niae candidates for the Speakership. Cannot another disinterested patriot, who has remarkable gifts for the place, be persuaded to become a candid date? There ought to be fifty. Rather than that any should ' be disappointed let llttm rotate a new Speaker every day. The business cannot possibly suffer, as all are masters of Jefferson's and Cushing'a Manual, and all have had large experience in presiding over deliberative assemblies. Raleigh Observer: Wyatt Mc Kever McKensey, who was in November last convicted of the murder of George Goode, made his escape from . the jail of Rockingham county on the night of the 26th, together with other prisoners.

It portrays the sufferings and sac rificed .Vf th;e : early Christians of . pagan Rome; tells in thrilling tones bf their trials and tribulations,' of their fleeing to the catacombs beneath the ancient city, and of the great benefits derive to their faith from the example and i martyrdom of their representatives. About twenty youngs ladies, arrayed in rich and varied costumes, depicting to a considerable extent the dress of that early day, took part in the performance; and so well did the youthful actresses sustain the characters they personated that , we have seldom seen an audience or more appreciative. better pleased The entire careful train of that natu- rendition showed much ing and.bore the impress ralness and appreciation of the several characters on the part of the youug ladies, which is so pleasing to witness in young attempters of the drama. The good Sisters and their pupils have every reason to con gratulate themselves upon the success of their efforts, and can safely feel that their works of preparation were not spent in vain, when such an elegant and beautiful entertainment,and one which was so highly appreeiated, was the result of their efforts.' We might particularize as to some of the characters, but when all did so well and so fully come up to the mark of expecta tion, it would not be fair to discriminate. The performance .was in every respect a capital one, as the frequent Applause of the audience testified. Pardoned by the Gsverfeor.
