Judge Sliepherd's mother died when he was but two years old and the death of his father foIlTr.ved in 18.VJ. Soou thereaf er he came to xCt)rth Carolina with his oldest broth er, William S.. and settled at. Mur - IreeslKiro, which he ma le his home . till the war cameoii, when, at the ' age of fourteen, lie enlisted in the i- Confeiierate army. Ueing too young for other service, he was made'mar Iver" and; as such continued for twelve mouths, when he was select ed as millitary operator in which capacity he did both field aud sta tion work till the close of the war. f v. Here as elsewhere he distinguished J bimsolf for his fidelity to duty. The fall of his elder Jbrother Lieut. W. S. Shepherd, while leading his company at Sharpsburg, deprived him of his chief counsellor and friend, and when the war closed he ihad to begin the battle of life aionCj without money and dependent upon his own exertion. Not discouraged, however, he took charge of the tele gr,-ph oJliee at Wilson, N. C-, and supported himself while he prosecut ed his btudi.es- espeeiallj' the law. Jiurvldch he early developed a fond.- (tess aud aptness. After several years of such preparation and work, lie entered the State University,' where he studied law under the late AVm. H. Hattle, and was admitted to the bar in 1SG3. He began the prac ticc of law in Wilson, but in 1871 moved tu Washington, X. and formed a co-partnership witlj Major Thomas Sparrow. Already rising iiis pr,de?sion, in 187'i he was most happily married to Miss Elizabeth eldest daughter of Mr. Silvester T. )rown.. Two sons have bleseilthis uniou, James E., tlcceased. and Silvester 1J. She-lierd. Judge Shepherd was a member of j the constitutional convention of) 1873, ana though the youngest man j in the ronvpntion. h wa nri -,thft ,..'. , , , .-..n. nucic auw- 'his as in ! bc;an 1 of the in ,,.- i .t . i bearing: ami .conduct there ana in his profession was such that in Ihe guminerof 1882 he was nominated superior court judge for the first district, to which position he was elected at the ensuing election, fill ing in the meantime, by appoint ment of Governor Jarvis, the unex pired term of Judge Eure, who had resigned.

"- . On the bench Judge Shepherd has developed his fine legal ability by the most patient and assiduous study. He is noted lor his moderation and conservatism. In manner he U kind and alFable, raodeat and unos tentatious. He is popular with the bar as well as the people. This ap pointment rs eminently fit. It will give universal satisfactiWn. The new Chief Justice will prove ) a .worthy successr of the profound Jurists who have gone before him. State Chronicle.

Yours for Education. William M. But: weiu Rich Square N. C, Nov. 21. The art of not hearing should be learned by all. Th:re are so many things which it is painful to hear, very many of which if heard will dis turb the temper, corrupt simplicity and modesty, detract from content menLand happiness. If a man falls into a violent passion and calls us all manner of names, at the first word we should shut our cars and hear no more. If in a quiet voyage of life we find ourselves caught in one of those domestic whirlwinds of scolding, we should shut! our ear as a sailor would furl his sail, and, making all tight, scud before the gale. If a hot, restless man be gins to inflame our feelings, we should consider what mischief tha fiery sparks may do in our magazine below, where our , temper is kept, and instantly close the door. If all the petty things said of one, by heedless or i'l-natured idlers were brought home to him, he would become a mere walking-pin cushion stuck full of sharp remarks. If we would be happy, when among good men we should open our ears ; when among bad men. shut them. It is not worth while to hear what our neigh bors say about our children, what our rivals say abouti cur business our dress, or our axlairs.
