EVENING EDITION.
STATE HISTORY RELIGIOUS AND
SECULAR.
Rev. Mat IL Moore, author of an
interesting work on Methodist Pio
neers in North Carolina and Vir-
ginia; has contributed an instructive
.paper to .the- Statesville Christian
Advocate on the ''"Early Methodist
Educational Movements, and the part
North Carolina played in them." Mr.
Moore undertakes to show as fol
lows: "That the first project for Methodist de
nominational education in America was
inaugurated in North Carolina; that the
first 'money paid for this purpose wa&f paid
by two citizens of Halifax county; that the
first contribution towards a book concern
went from North Carolina; and that the
first Methodist 'District' or -'Conference'
school in America was established on the
Yadkin river, in Rowan county; together
with tome interesting facts relative to the
curriculum taught in that institution,
which have recently and accidentally come
into my possession." f j
We think Mr. Moore conclusively
establishes his points. . We were
much entertained by his -discussion
which was clear and showed research.
He has decided talents for this kind
of work. Our friend, Rev. N. B.
Cobb, a competent writer, is about
entering opon the preparing of aHis-
-tJfy of the Missionary Baptists of
the State. Prof. Sylvester Hassell,
of Wilson, has been engaged for five
or Bix y ears in writing the History of
the'Primitive Baptists and it is now
about to be issued. It will make a
volume of a thousand pages. He is
amply furnished for such an under
taking. Rev. Dr. Bernheim, formerly
of this town, has written and pub-
1 lished a "History of the Lutheran
Church in North Carolina" in a stout
octavo. By way of parenthisis, let
us mention that Moore's' History of
North Carolina does not 'once refer
to the Lutherans that numbered when
ixe wrote some sixteen; thousand,
or two and a half times more
than the Episcopalians number
ed then in the entire State, j A sin
gular omission! We would be glad
to know that Dr. Rumple, of Salis-
: bury, was engaged in writing a his
tory of the Presbyterian Church in
Northy Carolina. His excellent
, sketches of Rowan county show how
well he could perform an important
work of this kind.
: Mr. Moore is quite a young man,
but he has ability "and aptitude for
'' biographical work, as he has shown,
i and we have no ; doubt he could pre
pare a history of Methodism in North
. Carolina that would show marked re-
: search, and that would be lucid in ar
rangement and style. Of course he can
: not be expected to undertake such a
magnum opus and perform at the
same time the labors, of an active
itinerant. But this might be reme
died. Supposing that North Caro
r lina 1 Methodists would like to have
the history of their great, vigorous,
aggressive, earnest,, denomination
' written, we might venture to suggest
.. no luiiowa 1 or ineir couBiaeration :
-Letvthe ' next v. Conference request

Moore Historiographer of the Con- Virginia and Johns Hopkins can 1m-ferenceor-two
. .years. Then let a part he .ought to : be equal to all re
salary of $1,500 annually be allowed quirements that could be made upon
him, the sum to be raised in the'seve:
ral Presiding Elders 'Districts, with
such aid as they may get from be-
yond Roanoke in the. Virginia ; sec-1
tion of North . Carolina, and in the j
Holston Conference that holds terri-
tory in North Carolina. In two
years Mr. Moore could complete his
work and do it thoroughly. :J : -'
We return- to Mr. Moore's com
munication. The two subscribers to
the first Methodist school in the
United States were "Gabriel Long
and Brother Bastion," of, Halifax, as
is recorded by Bishop Asbury. We
learn from Mr. Moore another inter
esting item. That the hrst conter-
enoe school ever established in the
United States was "Cokesbury
school in Rowan county." George
McCloskey went to that school.
Mr. Moore has George's Greek Gram
mar, which has - his name in two
places.
Moore:
But let us copy from Mr.
"The book was printed in Philadelphia
in 1789. On the title page is written,
'Georcre McCloskey. Cokesbury College,
June 24. 1794." Now. Qeoree would have
led us into the error of supposing this a
reference to the school at Abington but for
his juvenile propensity for scribbling
which left upon the back fly-leaf these po
tent words. 'George McuiosKeys wees
Orammar. Cokesburv School, Rowan coun-
tv. North Carolina. August 9, 1794. It is
a Greek erammar, written in Latin, bear
ing the simple title, "Graecae - Grammticae
Institutio Compendiaria, In Usum Schol-
arum. Autore Edv. Wettenhall, D. D.
"The student must of course, have been
auite familiar with the Latin to have used
it at all."
We have already referred at length
in a former article to the very valua
ble labors of Col. W. L. Saunders,
Secretary of State, in publishing and
editing the Colonial Papers of North
Carolina. Thus far some sixteen
hundred octavo pages have been is
sued and the work continues. It
will prove of the utmost importance
to the future historian of the State;
t was seen in the Star recently how
Col. Waddell has utilized it as to one
name. If Col. Saunders could -de
vote some years to writing a. history
ef the State it would be a good thing
for all interested. He has the abil
ity and the habits of investigation
necessary, is familiar with much of
the history already, and writes in a
style at .once luminous and vigorous.
North Carolina has no history worth
the name, but it has a vast deal of
material that can be worked up.
Mr. Cobb will find an interesting
point or so concerning the Baptists in
Rev. Hush McAdflen's Journal in
'Foote's Notes."
EDUCATION AT HOJHE AND
IN
GERMAN.
The able editor of the Richmond
Advocate has been discussing the
'custom of sending American youth
to Germany to complete their educa
tion. The Stab once referred to
the great dangers attending such a
course. Many young men nave oeen
greatly injured in their morality and
religious opinions by a year or two
in some German University. Even
men of learning and in the ministry
have been sorely perverted by the
rationalism of the German schools.
It has come to pass that a man
taught only in this country is not
considered full up in the books and
he must, therefore, go abroad to get
a title. The caustic and witty editor
of the Advocate thus puts it:
"There is somewhat of fussy vanity and
no little of fraud in going abroad to 'pursue
tneir studies in (iermany. Colleges en
courage this humbuggery. A log univer
sity with a professor who has drunk beer in
Berlin sets up a loud crowing in its cata
logue that stirs Its rivals to go on the mar
ket. The demand for 'Ph. D.'s with a
foreign brand :is in excess of the supply.
There is a rush to the Rhine of chin-
capin-college graduates to be gaited'and
gazetted as phenominal linguists. And the
fortunate Boards of Trustees and Curators
who secure a wonder of philology as he
lands on our shores 'felicitate themselves'
like Micah when he 'caught on to' the
young man of Bethlehem Judah, the only
genuine lievite in tnat end of the eartn.
The difficulties of being greatly
benefited intellectually, leaving out
of the count the moral and religious
aspects of the question, must be great
when it is remembered that but .few
American students can speak a word
of Dutch when they land from j the
steamer on German soil. The Ad-
vocate says as to this point:
' "The lectures are in Latin or German. It
requires two years of unceasing study by a
quick mind to have the German well
enougn in nana to eaten an acaress on a
literary or technical subject. As to under
standing what a .Professor says in rapid
utterance and with foreign accent' when
using tne LAUn tnat is out of the Question.
' "One of the half-dozen men in America
who' have done .worthy work and won
honest distinction in Germany, told us that
he knew but one American student who
even kept up an effort for two months to
find out what the University lectures were
about ! The brightest college-bred man
we ever knew, on returning from a resi
dence in Leipsic of years, spoke out plainly
against the deception practiced on wire-
grass couege and confiding visitors.'
Jt is time this r, exodus' to German
Universities had ended. It is an'ar-
rant mpostureandit is 1 possible to
teach men high enough in the United
States to equip them for .'solid work
in academy and college. If a man
wiU
him by other colleges ; in the land.
Let us give up' all pretension and
bosh, and come down io fair dealing
and - solid . work. -Many. - men have;
gone to Germany from the bouth;
who were damaged for this life and
possibly for thelife beyond.
: A DISPTJTED POEM, j .
A correspondent of the able Phil
adelphia "American still insists upon
the Miltonic authorship of the poem,
"On His Blindness." He is evidently
ignorant of the famous "Sonnet" by
Milton, on his blindness, and con-,
founds it with the poem of Miss Eliza
beth Lloyd, beginning with this stan
za and extending through some
twenty: 1 . ','!.;" y':'
, "I am old and blind-
Men point at me as smitten by God's frown,
Afflicted and deserted of my kind.
Yet 1 am not cast down. 1
- About 1849,- LittelVs Living Age
copied it, and the papers generally
published it and credited it to that
able eclectic. Milton's sonnet was
written in 1652, and ends with
'They also serve who only Bt&nd and wait'
Miss Lloyd's poem is of very high
merit and not unworthy of Milton,
which is great praise. But we have
read it often and always with in
creased delight. Read these stanzas
and you will desire to read the entire
poem: , r
"I am weak, yet strong;
I murmur not that 1 no longer see; I
Poor, old, helpless, I the more belong.
Father Supreme! to thee.
"Oh I I seem to stand -
Trembling, where foot of mortal ne'er hath
been, 1
Wrapped in the radiance of thy sinless land,
Which eye hath never seen. ;
"Visions come and go;
Shapes of resplendent beauty round me
throng; ! ' .
From angel lips I seem to hear the flow
Of soft and hoi ysong. ' j
The American gives this history
of it:
''It first appeared in the Pennsylvania
Freeman, the anti slavery newspaper pub
lished in this city, of which John G. Whit
tier was for some time editor, and com
manded attention then, but subsequently
was lost to sight and then after some time
made its' appearance in an English journal
as a 'posthumous poem of Milton, found
among his papers. As such it was re
printed in the Home Journal, of New York,
some thirty years ago, but the attention of
that journal, (edited then by Morris and
Willis), was called to Us true authorship.
and the correction was properly made in
its columns."
Miss Lloyd "became Mrs. Howell.
Mrs. Neill, her sister, is also a poet.
Whether or no ; she ever wrote any
other strong and nervous verse we
are not able to say. j
The Chicago Current says:
"The Wilmington, N. C; Moknino
Stab, a daily paper edited by ' a working
scholar," expresses . its satisfaction that a
writer in Macmiuan a (English) Magazine
should have slightly depreciated the poetry
of Longfellow, preferring Poe s. ;
We cannot say that the deprecia
tion of Longfellow was exactly grate
ful to us. We do not know that the
English critic really underrated him.
It seemed to us that what he said
was very much in harmony with
mucn otner criticism we had seen.
We have an impression that Clarence
Stedman's opinion is not unlike that
of the writer in Macmillant bat" we
have not his work by us as we write.
The Current farther say b: ; -
"We cannot say that Poe was as much
a poet as Longfellow he was surely
greater disciple of Repetition. But we can
say that inasmuch as Longfellow forebore
blank verse, be was artistically timid.
We do not insist that Poe was a
greater poet than Longfellow al
though that is clearly the English
opinion. Tennyson has no doubt of
it. In . former articles wo have
copied many English j views to this
effect. Poe was more original than
Longfellow less an echo. He has
surely reached a higher strain and
possibly a higher art than the amia
ble, cultured and most enjoyable
New England poet. -i
As far as we can gather the news
relative to the Supreme Court there
is ' a ' steadily growing sentiment
against the renomination of the p res-
ent Supremo Court. The objection
I is to the extreme age of two of the
Justices and the almost certamt v of
some future Governor having to ap
point men to fill their unexpired
terms. -V Who that Governor may be
no man is wise enough to tell. He
may be a dark horse, a ; Prohibi
tionist, a Radical, a Democrat, or a
man of poor judgment and great
prejudices. Judge Merrimon, how
ever, has many friends among those
favoring a change.
In West "Virginia J73 per cent, of
the children . of . school age . are. en
rolled in. the public schools. In Ver
mont there are 72 per cent. . These
are 7 mountain counties! There are
I more children enrolled in South
Carolina . according to population
than . in New ' Hampshire." Blair's
'own State. , And yet the South is the
field of active benevolence according
to the New England apostle of ium
bugf The Constitution must be vio
lated to teach the young Sambo idea
how to shoot in the South.
The Administration will
firmly by the position it has taken in
the Mexican embroglio- that an
American citizen cannot be tried ,on
foreign soil for an offence committed
in the United States. In the mean
time "Americans are being murdered
in Mexico, and life and business are
at a hazard. - - - " t .
When a paper begins-a reply by
making a statement like the follow
ing we can have no further discussion
with it: " " " r ' . V
."Thft Wilmington Stak admits itself
susceptible of very low prejudices.".
That may pass for decent journal
ism in New York, but ? it ought hot
to be tolerated in North Carolina.
The short time will not be tried
by the British mill owners. The
short time will not suit but certain
kinds of business. It is thought to
be -objectionale in establishments
where machinery is used. . We be
lieve the new rule is losing ground in
the United States.
CURRENT COMMENT. '
' r- The eyes of thoughtful men
are evidently opening at the enor
mous increase f crime among the
educated, and they are beginning to
discover what the wise have all along
suggested, Ahat a great error is com
mitted when a generation is trained
to believe that smartness is more im
portant than virtue, and that quick
ness of perception is more commend
able than delicacy of conscience. We
are not sure that the exclusion of re
ligious precept from the schools is
the chief cause of the error referred
to. It is, however, one of the prin
cipal causes of that deplorable result.
We dread the introduction , of this
poison into our own schools, and beg
leave to suggest that, before we are
aware, we may find our youth im
pressed with the fatal delusion that
success in competitive smartness is
the high road to preferment. In
former times, on our southern soil,
the child was apt to learn, both at
home and at school, that the first
necessary thing was to be good and
honorable. Now we are in great
danger of leading them into the op
posite idea, that the brainy and not
the "conscience, must determine the
destiny; of man. Richmond. Ad
vocate. I " . :
The New York Herald de
mands that the Treasury shall exact
payment of duties in coin. Of course
that would drive the greenback to a
discount at once. Let it be done,
however. It would teach the people
tho value of a paper founded on taxes
and good for all debts, public and
private. That is what the greenback
ought to be. It never could fall then.
The demand of the Herald is the in
tent of the gold power. Greenbacks
are the disturbers of gold men's rest.
But the theory of legal tender tax
paper is unassailable. ; Reader, what
do you j think of a government that
will not take its own paper at par?

I COERCION AS A CURE
Salisbury and His Mlnlatera Are
Astree Upon an Irish Poller.
Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Star.
London, August 12. Lord Salis
bury for the moment means coercion ;
not a doubt of it. The landlords are
to have things all their own - way at
present, and remedies for admitted
evils must stand aside until force has
been tried once more and found
wanting. His speech admits of no
other interpretation. An overwhelm
ing majority of the party are carried
away with the idea that the Tories
have a mandate to govern Ireland on
the old lines. Hence these big words
and high sounding phrases.
: Salisbury's blast of defiance excites
little 1 apprehension among the Na
tionalists. The Prime Minister has
always proved himself readier to hurl
threatening sentences at his op
ponents than follow them up with
acts, t He is, at bottom, a political
poltroon, ready to eat his own words
whenever the necessary pressure is
applied.. The history of his past life
in omce abundantlv Droves it
The fact that coercion is at length
authoritatively acknowledged to be
the policy of the Tories clears the
political atmosphere. All parties
know how what is ahead., .For the
Nationalists the path of duty is plain.
A fierce attack on the government
will be opened as soon after the House
meets as opportunities can be advan
tageously made. . .backed by a ma
jority of - the Liberal party in Eng
land, Scotland and Wales, they are
expected by their allies to answer
Salisbury's challenge with no uncer
tain sound. Mr. Gladstone, I am in
a position to state, quite approves a
resolute attitude on the part of the
Nationalists to prevent the -Tories
burying the Irish question ; and what
he approves he will naturally support
with voice and vote. v

It seems that the Craven county coalition
has the sanction of the, county executive

of Messrs. Clark and Lane a different color,
but while it does so it also places the Cra

and should alone be exercised, by the Dem

Swift's Specific!
Is nature's own remedy, made from roots gath
ered from the forests of Georgia. The method
by which it was made was obtained by a half
breed from the Creek Indians who inhabited a
certain portion of Georgia, which was communi
cated to one of the early settlers, and thus the
formula has been handed downo the present
day. The above cut represents the method of
manufacture twenty years ago, by Mr. C. T.
Swift, one of the present proprietors. The de
mand has been gradually Increasing until a $101,
000 laboratory Is now necessary to supply tie
trade. A foreign demand has been created, and
enlarged facilities will be required to meet it.
