VOL. XXIII.-NO. 83.
It is a great thing to be born great.
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."

There are eleven students buried
at the University cemetery. Two graves
have no monuments or stones. Those with
tombs are Lewis B. Holt, of Orange county;
Zenas Johnson, James T. Smith, of Anson

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.

Kever McKensey, who was in November

The Kntertalament at 'tho Academi
ot the IaearnatloB Last Nlcht. ;
A large audience filled the spacious hall
of the Academy bf the. Incarnation last
night,' to Witness the Christinas' drama
presented by the young ladles of that insti
tution; The young ladies had selected : for
the evening' ntertaiument the play enti
tled; Fabiola,".. which was dramatized
from Cardinal, Wiseman's work' of that
name.' 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.
David Davis, the colored, baker, -who

was pardoned by the Governor on the 26th
inst, and arrived home Saturday night.
Davis is said to have conducted himself in
such a manner as to secure the good will
of all the officials of .the penitentiary, and
now comes home with the determination,
he declares, to lead an honest life.
