K ! For the Democrat In the year ending Novj the 80th, 1889, (under the old school law) there were taught in the county of Buncombe, Out side of the city of Asheyille, 08 public schools ; of these 82 were for whites and 16 for colored. ! .These schools averaged about j 34 months in the year. In addition to the 82 free schools for whites there were 7 pay schools taught in districts where there had been houses built the year be f ore, for which the public money had been spent. So -adding j'the 82 free schools and the 7 pay schools we had 89 seems to prefer encountering a jungle tiger or a Kafflr warrior dressed in a string of beads to meeting a soft voiced, tender faced woman, for, as he expresses it, "Women appear to me so soft, so very unlike (at least what I have seen) the rude type of mankind, that one soon feels when talking to them that he must soften his speech and drawl or affect a singular articulation lest offense be taken where none was intended. Hence men are seldom sincere to women. j "I am absolutely uncomfortable when speaking to a woman unless she is such a rare one that she will let me hear some common sense. The fact is, I can't talk to women. In their presence I am just as much of a hypocrite as any other man, arid lit galls me that I must act and be affected and parody myself for no other reason but because I think, with other men, that to speak or act other- wise wcjuld not be appreciated. It is such a f alse position that I do i not care to put myself into it." i j Stanley 'is quite a traveler, but there is an undiscovered country he has never explored, whose labyrinth he has never threaded, whose mystical, intricate river courses I he has never traced, whose mountains of inspiration and valleys of despair I he has never measured, and which might prove as difficult of in- vasion, as wonderful in revelation as the interior of the Dark Continent, and that is thaiieart of a woman, for he says: further: "For the life of me I cannot sit still a moment when anything approach ing to love ! comes on the tapis.'' One woman friend only has this peculiar man of , fame to whom he can speak, for "af ter kthe first few minutes of i strangeness have gone she oon lets you know that! i chaff won't do." and he concludes hisj singular letter by sending to this friend a message: "Please say a hearty friend wishes her daily enjoyment of her lfe." j The Thankless IJeggar. An interesting anecdote is related by the "Yugend Freunde" of King Alphonso X, surnamed "The Wise." who succeeded to the throne of Leon and Castille in 1252. On. learning that his pages neg lected to ask the divine blessing before partaking jof their daily meals, he was deeply grieved and sought diligently to point out to them the evil of this omis 3ion. i plan to dine with him.

For the buildinjr the purchase of another, together with the amount paid to citv teachers, there has been spenV foi public (education in the city for the last two years $30,401.42. The greater amount of the city money was spent, as can be seen, for buildings. The Count- Superintendent receives this year about $550. The cost of coun ty teachers institutes is $100. The per diem of the members of the; County Board of Education, together with office expenses, fuel, postage, stationery, etc., amounts to about $130. (The cost of the 13 houses built outside pf the city is Contained in the $ll,00j.2. heretofore; mentioned). The amount spent in the county schools, etc.,1 last year, was about the same, as this. So the county (city in cluded) has spent ik,the two last years for public education a little more than $00,000 Tlie school property of the whole county (free school) is now worth fully $00,000. The increased interest in public schools in Buncombe, for the last few years has been wonderful. In 1884 the whole public school fund was $0,631 for country and town.
