prattle with sweet childish , inno

ly llowers .stood in the centre of the
table, flanked on one side by rad

ful things. He thought of Nellie
and of her love for flowers, and for
a moment almost envied Bob Bur

comforts Nellie ahould have. Tak
ing his hat from the stand he was
about to low himself out, when
his friends begged leave to detain

A correspondent of the Cincinnati

The. " Wailing Place at tho Walls
of the Temples" still has its de

in humiliation before it even now:
We looked from the walls of the

Tkauic Affair. On Thursday
night, the 25th inst., Wm. Elwood,
of Rutherford county, was brought
to Charlotte by ShenffB. F. Eogan,
charged with tho murder of a man
named Sandford, about two miles
from Kings Mountain Station, on
the Air Line Railroad. It appears
that Elwood and Sandford were
employed in goldi digging, and are
said to have been on intimate terms.
On Sunday, the 17th, they being to
gether at the house of James Falls,
Sandford begged Elwood to give
him some pistol cartridges he had
in his hand. Elwood said, 4Come
out here anel I'll give you a load :"
and tho two walked away from the
saiel Elwood, and presenting. his
"r:";,..r":VrrJr "v
pistol, shot him through the brain,
causing instant death. Elwood
seemed greatly surprised, and cried
to Mr. Falls, the only witness pres
ent, that it was an accident. This,
indeed, would appear to have been
tho case, thongh it is one of those
culpable accidents arising from the
careless handling of : fire arms that
ought to be punished in some way.
Elwood was arrested and carried, to
Shelby, and BubsequenUy to Char-
lotteto be brought before Judge
liosauon a wru oi -tuweas corpus,

The Wonders oi' Australia.
The Brisbane (Australia) Courier
publishes the following oflicial tel
egram from Mr. Walter Hill, the
Government botanist, dated from
Card well, and received by the
Queensland Secretary of Lands:
44 We have examined the banks of
the Mulgrave, Russell, Mossman,
Daintree, and Hull rivers, and
have been more or less successful in
finding suitable land for sugar and
other tropical and semi-tropical
productions. The ascent of the
summit of Bell en den Kerr was suc
cessfully made by Johnstone, Hill,
and eight troopers. At 2,500 feet
in height we observed an undescri
bed tree with crimson flowers,
which excels the Poinciana
regia, Colvillia racemosa, Lm
gersstroma regia, and the Jacaran
da mimosifolia. At 4,400 feet a
tree of fern, which will excel in
oos clais. A" palm tree at life same
hPin-ht. whioh will rivjdnnv of the
others of the Albore-
British-India species in graceful

ness. On the banks of the Daintree
we saw a palm tree cocoa, which
far exceeds the unique specimen in
the garden of the same genera from
on the banks of tho river Johnstone,
for the purpose of examining the
land, an enormous fig tree stood
in the way, far exceeding in stout
ness and graneleur the renowned
forest giants of California and Vic
toria. Three feet from the.ground
it measureel 150 feet in circumfer
ence ; at fifty-five feet, where it sent
forth giant branches, the stem was
nearly eighty feet in circumierence.
Tne river jonnstono. wunin a um-
ited distance of the coast, offers the
first and best inducements to sugar
cultivation."
How to Get Aloiiff.
Do not stop to tell fetories in busi
ness hours. If you have a place of
business, be found - there when
wanted. No man can get rich by
sitting around stores and saloons.
Never 4fooP in business matters.
Have order, system, regularity, lib
erality and promptness. Do not med
dle with business you know nothing
about. Never buy an article you
don't need, simply because it is
cheap and the man who soils it will
take it out in trade. Trade in money.
Strive to avoid hard words and per
sonalities. Do not kick every stone
in the path. More miles can be
made in a day by going steadily on
than by stopping. Pay as you go.
A man of honor respects his word
as his bond. Aid, but never beg.
Help others when you can, but
never give what you can't aflprd to,
simply because it Ls fashionable.
Learn to say 44no." No necessity
of snapping it out dog fashion ; but
say it firmly and respectfully. Have
but few confidants; the fewer the
better. Use your own brains rather
than those of others. Learn to think
and act for yourself. Be vigilant.
Keep ahead rather than behind the
times. Readers, cut this out, and
if there be folly in the argument,
let us know.

years, and" .where are the good laws
I which we had a right to expect
from them ? . What have the people
received in return. for Jthe hundreds
of thousands of dollars paid in as

went into the pockets of the Benit

It is true we have a Congressional
gerrymander, with one district run
ning from the Virginia line on the
North across the entire Stato to the
Atlantic Ocean on the South, and
another district running from Ran

Were these districts formefl for the
convenience of the people or for the

Let the public answer.
Then we have a large number of
Senatorial . districts organized to
cheat the people" of the 8tate out of
their rights, and to smother the
popular will.
Next wo have the spectacle of
these Democratic legislators gerry
mandering the Judicial Districts so
as to secure partizan Judges.
Then we see these Democratic
legislators
pass an amnesty act to
screen members of their own party
from being punished for the viola
tion of the most sacred laws.
In short, these Democratic legis
lators snowed so plainly that they
only eared for the interest of their

even their own party friends are
ashamed of them, and as a conse

Education Immigration.
-No : State can look forward to a
hopeful future which does not pro
vide for the education of its chil
dren. By means of education alone
can these children become useful
citizens.
North Carolina is far behind most
of her sisters in the American Union
in providing educational facilities
for poor children. This causes thou
sands of persons to grow up in igno
rance and comparative uselessness
who might otherwise be an honor
tc the State and the Nation. It also
keeps away from our bordera thou
sands of immigrants who would
like to come and bring their money
and their new1 ideas' and assist us in
building up our State. These im
migrants enquire how our public
schools compare with those of other
States, and they, go Where they can
educate their children on the best
terms. These, immigrants know
that want of education will doom
their children to perpetual bondage,
They know that witbout.education
they will be always the drudges of

have cheerfully consented to give a
brief historical sketch of each in
stitution and school for the educa
tion of the colored people, in and
about the city, with a statement of
their present status. ,
In entering upon this important
duty we have four reasons to as
sign for accepting it :
1st. Because my very soul bur.ns
with pride and patriotism when. I
look around, and see the many spa
cious and beautiful school buildings,
those towering monuments, 1 might
say, .erected to the memory of the
philanthropic people in the North,
dedicated to tho education, 'of tlio
negro. ' " .--
2d. Because I am struggling hard
to educate myself. i z,h
3d. Because I am deeply interest
ed in the education of the ' whole
people. I
4th. Because I am desirousof arous
ing my people to a sense of their
duty in regard to education. Shake
speare has well said, 44 Where Ig
norance is bliss, 'tis folly to -be
wise," and I add, that if we intend
to allow ignorance to predominate, it
is foolishness to educate the young.
An ignorant people is a powerless
people, because knowledge only is
power ; withoutit we may have the
wealth of a Rothschild or Astor, the
liberty of a King or Cannibal, and
We will be but a bubble on the
ocean of; life, but give ma knowl

Though ? the clouds
mayVeem to nbver i
thick blackness thereof darken our
pathway to intelligence, yet I can
see a glimmering hope in the future,
a sure hope, not far distant, which
is anchored in the rising generation,
and just as sure as ages continue to
roll, the sun of intelligence will rise
and carry these clouds before it, like
chaff before the wind. 44 What
moves mind but mind?" A strong
intellect jwill as naturally move one
of less ; powers as the stronger
muscle jwill move the weaker.
Therefore, for the reasons given,
and hope entertained, I shall en
deavor t6 give, from time to time,
such impartial sketches as my data
will permit. .
SIIAW ICOLiLiEGIATE INSTITUTE.
This flourishing institution owes
its origin to the meritorious labors
of Rev. Henry Martin Tupper, the
present 'principal, in the fall of I fi.uou, ana as mucn over aspossi
1805, Mr. Tupper opened' a school ble, to aid in furnishing this build-''
in tne ruia union iiouse." now
known as National Hotel. Here he
taught alone until the 1st of October, necessary, but they are first deslr
186(5. when he secured the assistance ous of showing to the world (more ;
of three other teachers who remain-
ed with him through the session of
180G-'G7 At the opening of the
school in IS67, two other teachers
were employed and aided him until
1808. January, 1869, Raleigh Insti-
tutewas! organized; u Through the
energetic efforts of Mr., T., the site
upon vvhich the second - Baptist
church now stands was purchased
and the building better known as
Tiinner's church was erected. In
this enterprise the colored, people
took no - little, interest, but. gave of
their scanty earnings and1 labor all
that theexigency of the times would
allow. Many friends in the North
made .liberal, donations, i and the
Freedman's Bureau gave $2,000 to-
ward the completion . of ? rooms
therein ifor school purposes.,! Soon

came fr6m a distance, were com-
pelled tOi return or otherwise get
"board and lodging", outside of the
school, i Thus it became, necessary
to erect other buildings for dormito-
ries, which was done on this same
lot. Finding this to be unequal to
the emergency, in 1870 Mr. X, as
agent for t the Baptist , Home JMis-
sionary p Association, purchased, the
valuables Barringer property, with
the beaxitiful mansion, much of its
furniture, all out-buildings; and
about twenty, or twenty-five , acres
of landl attached, for.$15,000. - Just
here I might say that this is an ad-
joining loo- to the Governor's Pal-
ace, anu i mere is no piace in
this city that was more lavishly
bededked with ornaments and flow-
ers of an endless- variety, than this,

At a social union of many Baptists
in Greenfield, Mass., by chance ho
was allowed to make a statement
in regard to his mission and labors
in this State, and, 44yankee like,"
ho took advantage of the opportu
nity,as a large number were present,
and said that he was in search of the

From this .remark (which would
seem idle in these regions,) the rep
rrpresentatives from : Brattleboro,
!Vt., voted that Mr. Jacob Estey, of
their town, should give the sum
'mentioned. Mr. Estey gave it and
fsent Mr. T. back in this direction,
rejoicing. In coining through Put
nam, Ct., he met Mr. George M.
Morse, Who gave him $2,500.
Thus with $7,500 he began the erec
tion of the Estey. building. The walls
Iwere partailly up when this amount
was exhausted, and the work discon
tinued. Again Mr. T. was at a
loss as to what course to pursue,
but soon he fathomed the depths
of this problem by the organiza
tion of a band of singers, which he
took North in the summer of '73,
and by his return in the fall they
had sung up, or realized by musical
concerts, $3,518.72. With this, the
work went bravely on' until Janu
