Young gentlemen, Low difficult it is to realize and abstract ideal! How hard it is lo make something that you have never seen something nf whirdi vnn liavn Imrl nnlv n. rlr-- scripiou. Suppose that Mr. Jeffer son, when planning tho University of Virginia, had said to r. contractor: "I want you to build a library exact ly like Roman Pantheon," and when the contractor asked for drawings, suppose Mr. Jefferson had answered: "Oh, drawings are not necessarj, I will give you a full description of it." Do you think the contractor would Lave undertaken it? It might have been possible to do such a thing, but it would certainly not have been easy to build that house from a mere description. How much better to hayeafu'l drawing of the proposed building. A complete model of it would have been better still. Aud best of all, if such a thing were possible, would have been tha Pantheon itself standing before him, so that every detail of the work might be determined by and com pared with the original. Now as it is with the architect of the material building, so it is with man as the ar chitect of his own character. Be sides abstract instruction he needs a model to work to. Lie needs a pat tern to go by. Lie needs an embodi ment of his ideal. Cau at;y such model be found? Is there any such embodiment of ideal munLu 1 in the universe? Yes, there is. Not in any of world's heroes however. Not in George Vashington, though Everett did try to indicate his char acter by describing a perfect circle with his ringer in the air, for while he was a man of unusual symmetry and poise, there is one authentic case of a public outburst of .temper and profanity many a sin besides. No, Washington was a sinner, and Cicero and Seneca; and Paul and M oses. Is there anywhere an incarnation of manhood? Yes, there is. In that one whose fear of God and whose obedience tollis commandments were perfect, who is thereforo the holy mar. tho whole man. the perfect man, the ideal man at his best, man is he was when he left his creator's hands, and who is therefore called the second Adam, and who calls him self by the title of "Son of Mau"' more frequently than by any other because us Siddon sujr, he would teach the fact that "He is tho repre sentative or ideal man the one son of our race who is not unworthy of its high origin, in whom its original idea is perfectly realized." But notice. The very fact that he is unique the very fact that in the whole history of the human race there has been but one perfect man but one who filled to completeness the outlines of God's ideal proves that there is something radically wrong with the rest of us. There is. Indeed there is. That desperate and universal malady which puts us be yond the healing power of auy mere truth, whether abstract or embodied. What boots it to know that the fear j of God and obedience to His law wii make us whole when there is within us an inborn antipathy lo God and a fatal gravitation to a disobedience? What boots it to know that Christ is a perfect example if we have no spiritual power to imitate him? And so we come to the next great truth. Christ is more than a mere example. He is an almighty Savior. To fear God and keep His commandments we must have a spiritual power with in us. luat power tourist supplies. To them that have no might in- creaseth strength. Without him we can do nothing. But we. can do all things though Christ strethening us strengthening us from within by the power of his spirit. Here we reach rock bottom, obe dience to Christ, through the power of CLrist, by faith in Christ. Thus and thus only can we fear God aci keep bis commandments. Thus and thus only can we become whole men. Will you not thoughtfully consider that relation today, as you turn your backs upon your boyhood and look forth to the life that lies before you? Years ago Dr. H. A Boardman wrote a little book enti led "The Great Question." On reading that title, one naturally won ders what the great question is, and when he looks within he finds it to be only this "will jou consider the subject of personal religion?" That s the grest question. Will you? If you will then you can answer that other great question What is the whole of man? Otherwise you can not. What is the whole of man? Money, answers the average Ameri can, as he bows before the Almighty Dollar. No, says Solomon, I have tried that. What is tLc vLolo of man? Ccltief, says the apostle of literary dilletanteism to kno v the best that has been said and done. No, says Soloman, I have tried that. What is the whole of man? PowER,says the votary of ambition. Tlace says the political demagogue. Sessua enjoyment, says the epicurean, let us eat and drink f;r tomorrow we die. Even Thomas Carlyle, with all his pessimism and doubt knew better than that. After sailing over all the seas of humau speculation and sounding ail the depths of worldly philosophy, be wrote at the close of life this conclusion: "The older grow, and now I stand upon the brink of eternity, the more comes back to mo the sentence in the cate ehism which I learned wheu a child, and the fuller and deeper its mean ins becomes what is the chief end of man Man's .chief end ii to glorify God and enjoy him forever." Carlyle was right. Solomon was nnnt. uod is nsut. iNotninor but the eteral God and His service can satisfy the cravings and aspirations of the immortal soul. And so, cen tlemen, 1 make no apology for pre senting as the subject of your Bac calaureate meditation this ereat truth concerning this perfect man hood and the method of its attain ment. I make no apology for ur ging upon you the consideration of your personal relation to the Saviour of sinners who alone can make of you a whole man. When the sufferings of the late Senator Benjamin 11. Hill of Geor gia were ended a few years ago by death and his will was opened and read, it was found to contain at the close the following passage: "I now give aud bequeath to my wife and children that which some of them already posess and which I assure them, in full view of death is far richer than gold and more pre cious than all human honors. God is a living God aud Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners I beseech them to Lave faith in Christ, for by this faith alone can they be saved." That was the rich est legacy ever ieft by a father to a family: and that was a noble testi mony of Senator Hill to theprecious ness and power of the religion of Christ. It's the best thing to live by. It's the best thing to die by. It's the one thing i.eedful in life. It's the one thing needful in death. It's the one thing needful in eternity.

When we examine the history of North Carolina we find the following lac!s: That originally North Charolina was divided into ouly three courties, Albemarie, Bath and Clarendon. Then in the year 1729 thf. county of Ciateudon was abolished and New Hanover county formed m its stead, and the then county seat was called New ton, afterwards Wilmington. In the year 1734 Biaden was formed lrom New Hanover, and comprehen ded at that time the whole western portion of the State as far as the limits of North Carolina extended. Then in the year 1749 Anson county was formed from Bladan county, which then embraced mere than half the State. Thi section of the coun try was Anson county when Henry Wideuer, the gieai old pioneer nf this country first settled on Henry's Fork river, and when Conrad Yoder bought his tract of land from him in 17G0.

The for m t M aT . ui a great jentril European Cus toms League is an accomplished fact, acknowledged by official cire'es. Ex change of communications between Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy ana Switzerland has resulted in the basis of an agreement which becam Known here to-day. Interest in the realization of the most formidable Zollverein ever conceived will over top every other public matter when the scheme is generaly published. In the meantime official circles alone know that negotiations have attained auennuejy successful stage. The terms upon which the commercial union was agreed on are meant to be held secret until after plenipotenti aries prepare a draft of the treaty. A conference for this purpose hs been arranged to meet at Berne on July 20. The league is to be an intimate commercial alliance in which no one of the contracting powers will be privileged to form a trade treaty with any other outside union unless it first obtains assent of other par ties to the alliance. It is understood here that the Government has obtained consent of the Federal States of Germany to denunciation of the treaty of Frank- ford and to accepting whatever grave consequences may arise from the hostility of France to such a course- The existence of the league will naturally affect the trading relations of the four contracting powers with 1' ranee, England, the United State ana every quarter of the glob-;. How far their independent action will be controlled depends upon the nature of decisions of the Berne conference price so low as to barely afford a subsistence to the producer, cannot be considered by a well regulated man, whose heart is in the right place and whose sense of right and justice is alive, with any other feeling than of the deepest indignation. Such things as these breed anarchists we do not like to think about them. A LESSON FOR NORTH CARO LINA BOYS. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

He was a family maD, loved home life, and loved his ellow-men.

The effect upon producers of the organization of trusts was shown in an article in this paper last week which told of what the cigarette trust, politely known as the Ameri can Tobacco Company, has done for the price of cutters. It has reduced the price on this grade of tobacco from 25 to 50 per cent. The loss alls directly on the farmers of the brignt tobacco belt. Let us say, to be conservative, that a cutter which brought 40 cents before the trust was formed now brines 31? cents. The 10 cents which the farmer loses goes immediately into tho pockets of those manufactures who belong to the trust. Now an effort is making to bring the plug tobacco manufac turers into a trust. It is stated in the papers that "Mr. Theodore Al len, the representative of a New York syndicate,", was in Danville and Winston last week with over tures to the plug manufacturers of those places to go into the combine. They resisted his overtures, howev er, and it is to be hoped they always will. With the great number of plug factories scattered every where it is almost impossible to conceive of a tiust which would embrace them all and thus control the price of wrappers and fillers as the price of cullers and smokers ia now controll ed, but if such a thing should hap pen, and the prices be brought down, a they would be, to the cost of production, it would almost be an invitation to the tobacco planters to combine together and do something rash.

Mr. Bridgers started his railroad life in an humble and insignificant position that of assistant to the roadmasn ter, but from that day his oath tLrough life has been upward and onward. His first promotion was in be conductor on a freight train. He then fided successively the position of conductor on passenger train; superintendent of stone masonry, and afterwards assistant civil engin eer on the XV. and A. Railroad in Georgia ; division engineer on sur veys on the A. and N. W. Railroad in West Virginia ; superintendent of construction of machine shoos at A. Roanoake, Va ; assistant civil engin eer on the E. T. V. and G. Railroad; supervisor cf track on the Pennsyl vania Railroad ; engineer of main tenance of way on the Wf. N. C. Rail road, and later on the Virginia Mid land Railroad ; superintendent of the North Carolina division of the R. and D. Railroad, with headquar ters at Raleigh, N. C; and now at the early age of thirty-six he is pro moted to the Superintendency of the Western N. C. Railroad with head quarters at Asheville. In this new position he controls more miles of track and three times as many trains as he did while Superintendent of the N. C. Division of the Richmond and Danville, while his new position is much more responsible and impor tant and more in line of promotion than the position held by him in Raleigh. His promotion to this responsible position shows his high standing with the officers of the great system with which he is connected. By his pleasant and gentlemanly bearing he has made a great many friends dur ing his sojourn in Raleigh, and they congratulate him upon his deserved success and bright prospects for the future. Many claim that he will eventually equal his illustrious father, after whom he was named, and in claiming this they could not predict for him a grander or nobler career. Raleigh regrets to loose Mr. Bridgers and his most estimable wife, but con gratulates Asheville upon the good fortune in having them in her midst- Wee'll write it down till everybody sees it Till everybody is sick of seeing it Till everybody knows it without seeing it that Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy cures the worst cases of chronic ca tarrh in the head, catarrh headache, and, "cold in the head." In perfect faith, its makers, the World's Dispensary Medical Aesoci- ation of Buffalo, N- Y., offers to pay 500 to any one suffering from chronic catarrh in the head whom they cannot cure. Now if tho conditions were re- versed if they ask you to pay $500 for a positive cure you might hesi- Lite. Here are reputable men, with yeais of honorable dealings; thout sands of dollars and a great name back of them and they say "We can cure you because we ve cured thousands of others like you if we can't we will pay you $500 for the knowledge that there's one whom we can't cure." They believe in themselve3. Isn't it worth a trial. Isn't any trial pre ferable to catarrh. Mirtle M. Tanner, Bonvillo, Inch, writes: "I had blood poison from jirth. Knots on my limbs were as arge as hen's eggs. Doctors said I would be a cripple, but B. B. B. has cured me sound and well. I shall ever praise the day the men who invented Blood Blara irere born."
