LtMtrMX.: -.y- Oor erteemed friend of the Oteeni boro Workmen1 written up tfcs Lanier fam'djv, whence tbe gifted Georgian pojpt sprang. The great grandfather ibf ' the poet came from England, Hi -name waa J amea. Bm on Sampson jraa born in Bocldng bam county ln 1705, He married Betay Maaieji Tbey bad nine aona and three dagntera, . Of tbeae aona one waa Staling, and be tired in Mississippi, lie waa the father of Sydney Lame, the poet. The Work man gives thtbiatorr of the family with some f illness. The poet left many kin in Jfrorth Carolina and in other Sontheil States. Among the kindred are Itov. Thomas J. Ogbnrn, Mrs. Alfred fteid, of Bockingham county, and r. V7 S, Moore, of Greensboro. We. are glad to know that the poet of good North Car olina stock; !i 1 We may mention here that we are -quite assured that the rery gallant Major John Pelham, who came from Alabama, was born in Person county. We are not able to establish the fact conclnsively,but we havetone excellent witness, who forty or fifty years ago lived in Person conntymd who had a very accurate memory, was the aonl of troth and honor, was markedly intelligent, and was a cyclopcedia of facts, incidents and names. We re- . fer to the late Dr. Thomas P. Atkinr son, oar venerated and dear friend, lie told as in 1870, that he was j en tirely satisfied that Pelham was a na tive of Person county. Pelham made a splendid record in the war. No politician has lost ground fast er than Mr. Bayard. He is not only much criticized by the opposition papers, but be is sharply flipped; by many of his own papers. We con fess to disappointment in him. We never regarded him as one of the greatest intellects of the Senate or of the country, but we did give him credit for more of judgment and un selfishness than he seems to really possess.- That be is a pure, able, honorable and patriotic genlleman noone can truthfully deny. Here is the way one of the ablest and most scholarly of Republican papers, the Philadelphia American, writes of him: " - "Mr. Bayard has not disappointed many of those who know him the best. He sim ply has been 'found out' He is a man well fitted to play the political dictator in a small State like Delaware, and he has so cial qualities of a kind which is relished m certain circles. This and a certain pose in public, and a name which ffiinig the callow brood of young Democrats, con stituted his stock in trade. This and nothing more. . He is not a master of any branch of government administration. He - has not borne the brunt of lend defence . . ... lor ms party, on any 01 ue great contro versies which have arisen under the consti tution. He has rendered it no such service as Mr. Bullitt did by his opinion , on the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. He has not stamped his name on any impor - tant measure of legislation as Senators Mc - Pherson and Pendleton and He Thurman did. " He is not a great master of r like Mr. Sherman, although he likes to : pose as one. The range of his ideas on : public questions is extremely narrow.' HOKBEAE, SCHOOLS AND QTJ ACKER Y The Normal Schools of the State - have done much good, and, we have i no doubt, much eviL The evil comes from the system of teaching that has been imported from the North sand so readily j .received by ' the native teachers. ; J We r egard this hard, me chanical system with as much disfa vor as we ; do the essays of Noah Webster written in a kind of Pigeon- - English, and his efforts to reconstruct -the English' language, written and spoken, without sufficient ability and learning and with no real consistent fixed principles of reform. We sin cerely believe that he has proved a positive curse to , the American1 peo ple, lie undertook to set up a sys tem -of spelling at variance with standard English authorities, and being rejected by quite half of the learned in his own New England and by nearly all of the refined and scholarly Southerners, what resulted? The less scholarly were suppled with his dictionaries, and most of the newspapers had free copies given, and now wej have spelling at random, as to some hun dred and fifty words, and a pronun ciation as offensive as possible to the educated . ear. We have thauo-h t - - 7-0- more than onoe that we would! note the blunders of all public speaking we heard tvunrnuuitk' !.. " J luwiHl VI DU would give a list of words with their pronunciation, omitting of course all personal reference. When we hear speakers pronounce deaf as " old .i a n-ww- I - . . i vu eusxer pronouces it, we are ready to pick up hat and leave , dreading what is to follow. When we hear men constantly mispronounc ing the commonest words and then v" going off into e-speoial and Aum-ble j and a few pronunciations made trite j by example and iteration we are quite f eady to cry out for deliverance. ' j Now we bold old N6ah responsible I for much of this execrable pronnncia 4 tion. There is now no American standard, lien bare got to be a law unto ihtnueUe and we bare a jar' gon -and pronnndatios that are positively ofUadt to tdactUd tart. Take the last word we have written, How many speakers pronounce it er rectly? ' Bat we did sot purpose this long parentheak, Let as return to the Norma Schools. Tbey bate dome good in bringing teelsw together tad in arotmag deeper interest nod enthusiasm in their profession, f TbU much is worthy of all oommeodation, Oor objection to them ' baa bees the manner in which they have been conducted, or ratherj tho abuses that have followed spos the importation of literary amatterers and lingnistto hnmbngs, ; There is not the slightest doubt that the most offensive and flagrant empiricism has been foisted upon the State Konsil as the beet and latest system of teach ing. j- '? We would rejoice to see a commit tee composed of President Shepherd, of Charleston Peter M. Hale, of Bar leigh; James H, Horner and Mar cellns V. Lanier, of Oxford; Bobert Bingham, of Bingham's School; J, De Berniere llooper, of Cbapei Hill, and Bishop Green, of Mississippi, to nt in judgment upon the pronunciation, methods and scholarship of the hum bugs who have come down with their innovations and pretentions sys tem and tell the people what of it. The readiness with which the North Carolinians are YgnUed would be amusing if.it were not so painful. Tbey have accepted the teaching of these scholastic charlatans as if they were the embodiment of all that is learned and progressive in the world. A very competent scholar and teacher has written to us about this saddening feature among our teach ers. Whilst writing for our own eye we hope he will not regard it as "a breach of privflege,, if ; we copy a few passages from his admirable let ter. He knows whereof be affirm, and has had much to do with .our State Normals. There is no man in North Carolina more competent to pronounce judgment than he. He writes: -' . "There is a stronclj developed dkposi tion among many of our edneaiional leaders in North Carolina to disparage native effort. I wss painfully impressed with the extent to which this spirit had beea fostered daring last Sommer. Some of oor Normal Schools were o&ing their iaflnence to ingraft firmly into our soil the gross em piricism of the Northern common schools, and lam sorry to add thatitseemed to find speedy and hearty acceptance among a large section of oar teachers. Pore scholar ship, wide culture, enUiastasUe devotion were all rendered subservient to as debased a trpe of mechanism as I have ever seen In North Carolina, we seem to be victimized largely by edncatkmsl pre tender and chart slant from the North. I might name several coaspicaoas cases that have come under my owa observation. What is good in our people is neglected, or disparaged the sciolists are received - with reverence, and listened to with rapture 'the children's bread is taken and cast unto the dogs." This is a severe but just arraign ment, and it is the deliberate convic tion of one of the- most thoughtful, pure, scholarly and enthusiastic of native teachers.1 We hope the mania for clap-trap and pretention will have its little day in North Carolina and pass away as other evils have done. DEATH AHD SAOTTAT103F. It has been ascertained by post mortem examination that the awful scourge at Plymouth, Pennsylvania, is nothing but a severe form1 of typhoid fever, j The , mortality has been very great and the lesson should not be lost. It shows, that a neglect of sanitation produces Tesulls that are almost as alarming as a visitation of yellow fever or Asiatic cholera. The New York Newt saysii-.r t,:: J "The deputation of Philadelphia physi cians who have looked ' into this matter, have come to the conclusion, in entire ac cord with the committee of WHkesbarre doctoH, that the epidemic was caused by the excreta mi a typhoid patient finding its way into the water supply near its source. If this is so, the epidemic form of . the dis ease is not likely to be confined to Ply- mOUlD." v ': j t;: "S..- No town can; be said to have pro per . sanitation that has not good water supply. The public health to a considerable extent depends .upon the water used for ; cooking and drinking. The burial custom is an other matter to be watched, especially in times of malignant epidemic Peo ple cannot be too particular in such cases, and in cases of carlet fe ver, typhoid fever, malignant ma larial fever, and f all diseases that are serious ; and may be commu nicated by - exposure ouebt - to be looked afterby the health officers. Many a person has gone gone to his or her grave by the expo sure incident to attending funerals and burials. What is the present condition of sanitation in Wilming ton? The cholera, the yellow fever, or some awful epidemic 'like that scourging Plymouth, Pa., may come. Is the city set in order and is it pre pared?' . - - The late ex-Governor Gilbert CL Walker was a handsome - likeness of our distinguished Senator . Vance. The former had the : beauty and the latter the brains. We heard Walker and Doolittle and ex-Senator Miller, of Georgia,speak at a big mass'meet ing at Raleigh in 18Y2.' Miller made much the most eloquent speech, bnt Doolittle, who is a rather sorry fel low as to principles, made a very de cidedly etrong and impressive effort. Gen. Winfield S.

A large crowd of people had assembled at the Cemetery ia advance of the arrival of the proceaocaj and to them it proved a beauti ful picture as the column advanced up the street to the entrance to Oakdale and up the avenue to the beautiful Confederate Xot, in the midst of which stands the hand some bronze statue of a Confederate sol dier, which is so strikingly realistic ia its appearance as to elicit expressioa of the warmest admiration from all who see it.

Orator and Chaplain took their seats, whea the exercises were opeaed by a mournfully beautiful dirge by the Cornet Concert Club, followed by the singing of the touchingly beautiful aad appropriate hvmn "Forget Not the Dead" by the choir, which waa impressively and handsomely rendered. The Chaplain. Rev. J. W. Primrose, of the Second Presbyterian Church, next ad dressed the Throne of Graoa in feeling and appropriate language, as follows: , - Lord God of Hosts, ia the name of Him who was dead, and is alive, and behold He liveth forevermore, the Conqaeror of ein and death, the Captain of our salvation. wa aland now at the graves of buried heroes and of buried hopes to effer praTer to Thee. Bereaved disci plea trusted- that the slain one would be he who should have redeemed Israel, nor were they disappointed of their trust.; - We thank Thee that no life of devo tion can ever die.- These being dead, yet speak. . The canre for which they died was lost. Even so Father, for so ft seemed good in Thy sight. We bow in snhmiunon to Thy sovereign wiU. But may their exam ple of fidelity to convictions, and dauntless courage, and generous self sacrifice, sur vive in the hearts of their children and their children's children. Thou dost de mand of Thy people that they he of good courage and play toe man; that unselfishly they seek each one another's weaL In Thyself Thou hast given us the brightest and only perfect illustrations of an unsel fish devotion, which despising the shame did manfully face death. These whom we this day day remember to honor were true to their convictions of right and duty, and were faithful therein unto death. . Whatso ever things n them were thus honorabk; may we ever think of these things. May they be to us and our chiktmn a precious heritage .which no defamation can ever makeodioua. From all our borders may the bitterness of past strife be banished; grant that former foes may now be fnenda; that North aad 8onth alike may admire and emulate that aeal for liberty and that courage of conviction, without which a people deserve not to he free. Let Thy blessing rest upon this people of these United 6tates,and upon all the departments of government both State and Federal. Let the people praise Thee O God. let all the people praise Thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase, and God, prep our God, shall bless us. . Amea. .

" Nothing ahall then be heard of the lost cause and furled banner of the South, as the heroic story of her brave daughters shall cross the waters of ' the great sea, drop down like a sobje of the troubadours amid the waking millions of captivity, aad cause the women of other lands to fnntof the enthnsasm of this. Who does sot admire the noble tribute of the poet Whittier to a woman of the North, who stood firmly by her owa section in the hour of terror aad danger f Take the high hearted mother of Henry the Fourth and Joan of Are out of the history of France, and the whole record be comes a mere narrative of cruel conquests and pompous parades. So our own country, the North aad (he South alike, owes a debt of gratitude to the moral sublimity of its women, which will make any cause which they espouse live forever. Political institn tions may perish like the throne of Zenobia in the desert; military aoumges like Sher man and the Duke of Alva may leave the whole country in the track of their moving columns a snuiliiig ruin; but the essential hfe of a cause, which, like that of the 800th, bound into concord the noble hearts of Southern women, shall out-live the throes of revolution, shall change the false verdict of history, and claim an eter nal freedom from decay. The perpetuity of our cause is foreshadow ed further by the courage and sufferings of oar gallant soldiery. It is not pretentions legislation nor a high sounding public pol icy, which constitutes the glory of a State. If the Southera people had saved nothing from the wrecks of revolution but their politieal maxims aad their dreams of a separate potitical existence, they would be poor indeed. But having plucked from the fiery storm a militarv fame, which, in ail the- martial aaaals of this world has aever been excelled, we can commit tfc lost cause and furled banner to aa impar tial posterity, beiievinr that full lustim will be done. Neither was it the mm firhtinr Qualities of our sokliera. or the ml. itsry skill of then? leaders, which entitled them to the highest eoasideraXioo from the historian of the fatnre.
