John AlcCultougb seems to agree
fully with Laurence Barrett in his
estunato of Henry Irving, the Eng
lish actor, who is almost worshipped
by the theatre-goers. Ho says:
"Mr. Irviug is unquestionably the
most wonderful and versatile actor I
ever saw. His performance of Mam
let is inexpressibly weird, poetic and
beautiful, and each line of the text is
read with scholarly care. It is a
different Hamlet from -the one accep
ted by most modern critics, but it is
one that will make a strong impres
sion on every thoughtful person."

The preliminary examination of

would be ultimately increased to
$100,000. The peculations are found
not to have been confined to falsa
telegraph bills, bat extended to nearly
every branch of the expenditure of
the half million annual appropriation
for the Signal Service."
The Norfolk vegetable market, the

A nanawar Accident on Bandar.
Quite an exciting runaway, with a nar
row escape from serious results, occurred
on Matket, between Eleventh and Twelfth
streets, on Sunday afternoon. Mr. E. D.
Goodman and a young lady were returning
from the Sound in a buggy, when, just as
another buggy, occupied by Messrs. J. D.
VonGlahn andflGeo. R Dyer, passed them
on the street, the young lady, who was
driving, touched up the horse with her
whip, when he jumped so suddenly that he
severed one of the shafts of the buggy
where it bad already been broken and
patched by the owner, and the broken
shaft, striking tbe animal on the
legs, caused him to start to run
away. At this juncture Mr. Goodman
attempted to aeizo the reins, but in the con
fusion he pulled on only one rein, and thiB
turned the horse towards the sidewalk,
when tbe buggy collided with that occupied
by Messrs. Dyer and VonGlahn, (they hav
ing driven to one side to avoid that very
result), tbe shock capsizing Mr. Goodman's
buggy and throwing himself and the lady
upon the ground, when -the horse broke
loose and ran. down the street with
parts of tbe broken Bhaft attached, causing
a scattering among the large number of pet
destriana on tbe sidewalks. In the mean
time Messrs. Dyer and VonGlahn had dis
mounted and were rendering all necessary
assistance to Mr. Goodman and his lady
companion, and the latter, who bad fainted
from tho shock and fright together, and
who had also sustained some slight bruises,
was assisted into Mr. C. H. Conoley's buggy,
who bad driven np in the meantime, and
was taken to her resldence.while Mr. Good
man was placed in Messrs. Dyer and Von
Glahn's vehicle and taken to his home.
Fortunately no serious injury waB sustained
by either party.

THE FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE OF THE
NURSERY. The following is an extract from, a
latter written to the "German Reformed Messen
ger." at Chambersborgh, Pa.:
A BENEFACTRESS. Just open the door for
her, and Mrs. Winslow will prove the American
Florence Nightingale of the Nursery. Of this we
are so sure that we will teach our HSusy" to say,
"A blessing en Mrs, Winslow," for helping her to
survive and escape the griping, coli eking and teeth
ing siege. MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SY
RUP relieves the child from pain, and cures dysen
tery and diarrhoea. It softens the gums, reduces
Inflammation, cures wind colic, and carries the in
fant safely through the teething period. It per
forms precisely what it professes to perform, every
part of it nothing less. We nave never seen Mrs.
Winslow knew her only through the preparation
of her "Soothing Syrup for Children Teething." If
we had the power we would make her, as she is, a
physical saviour to the infant race. Sold by all

DURING THB PAST SESSION THIS INSTI
tnte had the greatest number of pupils for tho
twenty-one years of its history.
No institute in the South has a more experienced
and successful corps of teachers, and from the tho
roughness characterizing every department of In
struction, no better Normal School can be found.
The Instructress in English Language, History and
liahed an nneaoaled reputation as aa accomplished
teacher. The instructress In Modern Languages,
daring her attendance at Amherst Normal School
of Modern Languages, was assigned a class to teach
byJDr. Baavear hunself. who complimented har
thoroughness of instruction In the highest terms.
The instructress in Elocution has for four or firo
years been one of the most accomplished teachers
of the Augusta Female Seminary (Miss Baldwin's).
Staunton, Ya. For tbe thorough and aacceasfol
manner in which Mathematics and the Natural
Sciences are taught, reference is unhesitatingly
made to the officers and teachers of ithe late
Normal School at Chapel Hill, where tho instructor
in these rdepartinents was engaged in teaching.
The Art Exhibit at the last commencement waa
pronounced by the citizens of Charlotte the finest
they had ever seen in the estate. The instructress
In this department, after study big at the best Art
Schools ia the North, spent a year studying her
profession ia Europe, and is not only an accom-
pusnea oat expenencea leacuer. xne janaic de
partment, under the direction of Dr. Bides, is uori-
valled in the South for the thoroughness and high
