n. which he lwrformed accord
The 5th day, the aforesaid
Governor, accompanied with a
lusty Friar and twenty other
Spaniards, with their servants
and negroes, came down to the
seaside, where our ships rode at
anchor." They were courteously
received on board the ships by
the English and royally enter
tained. The Governor and his
suite to show their appreciation
of the courtesies of the English,
"caused a great herd of white
bulls and kine to be brought to
gether from the mountains,' fur
nishing their entertainers with
"horses ready saddled" and for
some time they enjoyed the pleas
ure of hunting the "white bulls"
three of which were killed.
"After this sport, many rich
and valuable presents were ex
changed betwreen the parties and
the next day, we played the mer
chants in bargaining with them
by way of truck and exchange of
divers of their commodities, as
horses, mares, kine, bulls, goats,
&c."
"On the 7th day we departed
with reat good will and on the
20th we came to anchor at Ocra
coke." In the history of this colony
their "light horsemen" are men
tioned several times in connection
with their battles with the Jn
dians. The Spaniards had discovered
Florida, built forts, towns and
roads, traded with Indians, many
long years before Raleigh ever
thought of sending colonies 'to
America, and had no doubt fre-
quenUy met with theTuscaroras.
4 The Tuscaroras held commu
nication with the five nations, liv-
inT
as far North as NewT York,
and there is no reason to doubt
f rom their restless j and roving
disposition, they wandered as
far South. Is it not reasonable
to supiwse that they had every
i
opportunity to do so and in their
trading, why not ; trade tor
horses:
Besides the Mora toe held its
original name over eighty years
after the introduction of horses
in North Carolina and how much
longer we do not know; if they in
creased at all, and there is no rea
son to doubt it there would be no
necessity for the Tuscaroras to
seek them elsewhere. ' On the
Banks in Eastern Carolina there
is a breed of horses called the
Banker Pony, that in truth may
be said to be wild, tho' owned by
the citizens of the place; they are
never fed, never protected from
the cold winds of winter, but find
their food from the coarse grass
found growing in that locality.

Bertie County Teachers'
Association.
This body of educational work
ers met at Windsor, N. C, on
May 24th, 169:. Tliirty-four
teachers were present together
with a large intelligent and appre
ciative audience. The program
was well and attractively ar
ranged, for morning, afternoon
and bight exercises. The morn
ing part was taken up principally
by and address, "Education in re
lation to civil liberty, " by Prof.
J. H. Sledd, A. M. Lit D., of
Edenton Academy. This address
for thought, beauty and force,
was equal if not superior to any
thing along that line of thought
ever delivered before a Bertie
audience. Those of our citizens
who failed to hear it missed a
treat in literature.
The afternoon and night were
contained exercises of a variety
calculated to instruct, entertain
and interest the , enthusiastic
hearers wTho enjoyed to the fullest
extent the many and superior
recitations by several of our
young lady teachers. They all
acquitted themselves admirably,
Some important queries and
other matters were discussed by
Rev. L. M. Curtis, Hon. F. D.
Winston, Prof. J. H. Sledd, J. A.
Modlin and others. Among those
queries we re. What can be done to
increase the attendance at our
public schools? &c.
Also was fully discussed the
result of the late legislative act,
abolishing the county boards of
Education and county superin-
tendents, as well as the change of
selections of school books from
State, to that of county adoption,
This latter especially we thought
exceedingly unwise. After a full
and enthusiastic discussion of the
above with other facts of interest
the following resolutions wrere of-
fe red and. unanimously adopted:
ResolVed That the thanks of
this association are hereby ten-
dered Prof. J. H. Sledd, A. M.
Lit" D., for his able scholarly and
instructive address.
Resolved That the thanks of

charge of the duties of his office.
Resolved That this associa-
tion is deeply indebted to the Pa-

organ, and the Windsor Ledger
for donation of space for notices

ment upon the work of our asso-
ciation. The printing oi very

Woman's Bights.
Thousand's qi years ago when
God's chosen people passed, dry
shod, through walls of water piled
high on either" side, there went
along-with that great multitude a
dark eyed Jewish girL And, when,
at Moses calL the waters rolled
back again, and covered their
pursuers, then this dark eyed
Miriam, taking her timbrel in her
hand, and calling on all her Jew
ish sisters to follow with her, went
forth, with music and with danc
ing, and there on the shores of
that stranger land, they sang to
gether woman's first song of tri
umph to her God.
Beautiful, queenly, gifted Mir
iam! Peerless as a leader among
those Israelitish women, through
the ever deepening shadows of
fho centuries since then, she
stands out clearly defined the
woman of genius, the confidant of
Moses and the strong, true help
er of Aaron.
Hundreds of years after Miri-
am's work was laid aside a fair j
y0uno- girl named Esther left old
Mordecai's house that in the
ling's palace she might better
plead for the emancipation of a
down trodden people. She did
not piead in vain for the golden
sceptre was held out to her and in
the Jewish homes was light und
gladness.
Centuries after when the Sav-
ior grew weary of walking over
tne hills of Galilee He rested in
tke home of Mary and of Martha,
There it was that other Mary
bathed His feet. And later on
when those same feet had been
nail-pierced upon Calvary and
shrouded in grave clothes the
ioved form had been lying, then
algo was that in the shadows of
tne early Sabbath morning two
Marys stood first at the rolled
away door of the sepulchre. "
jt was jn those days that Dor-
Lg made her garments for the
poor, Lydia sold her purple and
Lne iinen and but a few years
later tkat Aquilla taught Apollas
and Priscilla and Phoebe exhort-
jn the early Christian church.
Among the Greeks the wis-
om of Hypatia was reverenced
littje less than was that of Ans-
totle. Her lecture halls were
crowded with theiiterati of Ath-
ens ami she died for what she
thought was truth.
ThelnartyrsofRome'scoUseum
were not all men;, for St Agnes
perished there when only sixteen
years of age and there perished
aiso hundreds of other brave no-
ble Christian women who footsore
and weary preached unnst m

I At the intersection of twoof the
finest streets of ew Orleans
there stands the only statute
erected to a woman's memory in
America. Yet she who is repre
sented there, with herarm thrown
around a little child was only an
unlettered .Irish dairy woman.
All New Orleans knew her as the
'Orphan's Friend" and her fun-
eral was larger than ever known
in that city, save that of Jefferson
Davis.
Ah, "Margaret Haughery" saw
the opportunity for her "Woman's
Rights" through the narrow win
dow lights of an attic chamber.
She took the work as it came; it
widened and broadened in her
hands, until, for years before her
death, she gave daily to the poor
of New Orleans three hnr.d red
loaves of bread.
Who can measure the influence
of Clara -Barton's work or the
consecrated efforts of Margaret
Bottome?
How many of us have again and
again sung the beautiful hymns:
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus,"
"D raw me Nearer, " "Rescue the
Perishing," and uany otliers.

Fanny Crosby, earth s light went
aut when only six weeks old. Yet
her sweet songs of praise, to the
number of nearly four thousand,
have been known wherever the
English tongue is spoken, and so
joyously certain is She Of God'S
goodness, that seldom does One
'
note of sadness creep into a single
song,
But why goon? vfhe opiwrtu

young man sent a letter to a Ger

added:

The father replied courteously,
stating that hi s daugh ter had
given him authority to represent
ner at the appointed place at the
time agreed on. His jiostscnpt
was as follows:
-Dat mine son may make no
