I cordially concur in the opinions expressed by Mr.Kmith, of Johns-IIonkins ITnivAritv and others in regard to the wis dom and expediency of locating our colleges and universities in centred of wealth and nounla- tion. The day of rustic colleges has perhaps foreyer gone bv iaud in the light of cotcmporary experience we stand aghast at the unwisdom of our ancestors who strove assiduously to bury their seats of learning in the deaths of primeval forests. Nearly all the moulding educa tional forces of modern and an-i cient eras, have had their origin and inspiration in cities. The germs of all literary and asthet ic culture were developed in Athens transmitted through Home, Paris and London all great concentrations of material, as well as intellectual nower. The hresistable tendency of or ganized science and litoaturc has always been in the direction of towns and cities It is in them that the "enthusi ism of humanity" has had its freest exercise, and that the achieve ments which have made our complex civilization possible have been performed. To de scend to move familiar exam ples drawn from our own expe rience. The special charm of Harvard is its proximity to Bos ton with the rich facilities for every form of mental cultiva tion that it furnishes. The Johns Hopkins University owes its almost phenominal success, in a great measure, to its situa tion in the principal city in the South and its convenient access to Washington, now becoming the scientific centre of our coun try. The fortune of Randolph Macon College has been made "by transplanting it from a wil derness to a point in the vicini ty of Richmond. Some of our most deserving collegiate insti tutions in North Carolina, it seems to me, are rendered inca pable of extension or wide de velopment on account of the unfortunate character of their situation. 1 may venture to fpeak with some freedom of Davidson, as it is under the con trol of my own church. No one can doubt tliat the academic standard at Davidson teaching is is h'gh. that the thorough and excellent and that many of its graduates have earned houo'.aole iccognitien in special lines of study pursued in some of our most renowned universities. Yet the gloomy and forbidding surroundings of Davidson have deterred many a promising student from enter ingits halls. The same criti cism possibly applies to Trini ty with equal force, though am not aoiH to speaK irom per sonal knowledge or peisonal observation. In the selection of Collegiate sites our forefath ers appear to have ignored the social nature of young men anc to have forgotten that the train ing and culture of that nature is one of the essential phases of rational education When W3"remeinber the com plete isolation of students in a country college from the liber alizing and expanding influence of town and city life the only marvel is that they do uot ve lapse into partial savagery, in some instances they are almost absolutely cut off from so:?ia refinement by tlie isolated na ture of Iheiir situation. Chape Hill is, so lar as l am aware much more fortunate tnan any other institution in the State in this regard, and has always been the centre of a cultured and charming society.

William.1, chairman of the Hoard ot Coun ty Commissioners of Cumber land, was ex-oflicio 1'iesident of the Board, and Henry L. Cook, sq , of Cumberland, was olec- ed Secretary. The Hoard fixed he value of tho road bed, track, ight of way and property on on the right of way, fcc, &c, at G74,4J0.8.S,and the rolling stock, vc, at 120,870.00, making at total of 8795,335.88. The total number t)f miles of track is 24908. The 8795.335.88. was divided up between the twelve counties according to tho num- r of miles in each county. Under the appointment Cum- eriand gets 5100,929 50, for tax ation, which is the largest with the exception of Guilford coun ty. Outside of this the road las about 7,000, worth of prop erty vvhich could not be includ ed in the above as it is vot on he right of way, but is given n to the list taker as is other property. In addition to the above the value of the franchise of the Toad was fixed bv the lovernor, Auditor and Treasur- ei , at 36,810.49. Next year Sampson, Fender and New Han over counties will be included. Henry Underwood, a negro, who left this county a year or two ago, is charged with murder in Florida, and Mr. E. B.

The industrial issue of the Observer says, after a careful estimate, that 3,625.00, is paid to operatives in the various in dustrial establishments in this city every week. This is a hand some showing. The industrial issue of the Fayetteville Observer made its appearance last week. It is a 32 page edition, containing cuts of various buildings and streets, the history of the city and her enterprises and enterprising bus iness men. It is a magnificent feat of journalism. No such paper was ever issued here be fore, and the editor says it is the largest paper ever issued in the State by one man. The able hitehead deserves warm con- gratulation. ihe Young Men's Christian Association, of this city, has se cured the services of Mr. G. G Harley as General Secretary of the Association. He arrived last Tuesday from his horn in Co lumbia, S.

We hear that Col. F. Gardner, Civil Engineer of the Atlantic Coast Line, will soon be here with his corps of engineers. It is hoped that this means the completion of the 'iShort Cut" railroad. Rev.

I IOW Till-: SUPEltlOlt COURT .JUlHillS STAND lSKFOUH THE SUlMtEM K COURT. The State Chronical, of recent date, gives the information that in the last number of the North Carolina Supreme Court Reports there are opinion, on 86 appeals from judgments in the Superior Courts, and that the Superior Court judges fared as follows at the hands of the higher tribunal: Judges, Affirmed. Over-ruled. Connor, 10 0 5 0 7 1 1 C 4 1 14 3 10 3 4 3 1 J 2 1 4 5 0 2 2 2 Shepherd, Merrimon, Montgomery, very, Clark, McRae, Gilmer, Shipp, Phillips, Graves, Hoykin, Meares, We have heard alwyers say that a showing such as the above is very misleading, and we are sure it is misleading in many ways. Some judges decide a great many more cases than others, and this deserves to be taken into consideration; but even if it were not, the number of times a judge is sustained or over-ruled is not the best test, prbably, of his ability or learning, Thus wo see above that Judge Graves' who if by common consent one of the very soundest lawyers on the bench, was aitirme 4 times and over ruled 5; Judge Boykin, another one of the best, had only two appeaTs and was over-ruled in both. Returning to the other point just made, we see that there were 17 appeals from Judge Clark and only 1 from others and 2 from others still; so we perceive some of the diffi culties in the way of making an accurate comparative estimate of the judges from a table like the above. We have heard it said that the late Chief Justice Pearson, while a Superior Court judge, was over-ruled more fre quently than any other judge on the bench at the time, though we do not know how true this is. borne judges, it is said, are "afraid of the Supreme Court and do not sit upon knotty causes if they can help it; and in past years it was said that newspaper publication of their relative standing before the Superme Court made some of them even more timid about deciding cases.

SHE LOVED NOT WISELY BUT TOO WELL. The family mansion of the Christie's of Oak dale was a gand old building, its tall ga bles, and narrow windows draped with ivy ; and the fluted columns of the wide porches, garnished with trailing roses, whose rich red hearts glowed like drop:? of blood in the sum mer sunshine. Within oue of the large lowceiled rooms, all softened lights, and dusky shadows, a man sat in a deep cushioned chair, his elbows resting on the marble top of a table before him, and his hand some face buried in his hands. "Must it all go all my fath er's lands, and my beloved home! " groaned Ashburton Cliristie, as he lifted his haggard face, and gazed out at the fair domain with troubled eyes; for Ashburton had a Christie's love for his birth-place, and the Christie home-love was a by word in the county. "All fro!" echoed n. full sree.. vmcA- nri hhnrtn t,,r,.o,i with a start, to see a vouns? irirl leaning against the back of his , - rj t ' chair. "Why Winifred," he exclaim ed in a surprised, but not pleas ed tone, "When did you ar rive?" "I have just come," explained Winifred Deane, Ashburton's pousin, as she laid aside her hat, and sat down on the opposite side of the little table. Her dark brown yes met Ash burton's blue orbs for a moment, and then her rjifhor rlnin face flushed a lovelv crimson. Win- ifred was no btautv, and she knew it, yet there was a quiet taste and quaintness about her, that attracted many admirers. For Winifred was rich, and an orphan, and had the means to allow her odd fancies full play. But the one man, who of all the world she desired to please, stood aioor, and scarcely ac corded her the cousinly interest their relationship sanctionad. Ashburton gazed a moment at the downcast blushing face, when it suddenly occurred to him that perhaps Winifred had coine with a purpose, so jje raised his handsome head a tri- fle higher, with some indistinct idea floating through his brain that it would not be quite the thing to accept help from a woman he had always held at arm's length Winifred seemed growing im patient at the silence. Flecks of color were coming and going in her cheess, and her lips quiv ered like a grieved child's. "Cousin Ashburton, I am sor ry for your trouble," she mur mured in a low sympathetic "I did not think the old homestead would have to go." "yll will have to go; as you are now aware, l nave little ready mouey. The old home stead is dearer in my oyes than in the eyes of the world; it will not bring more than twenty thousand dollars, and I endors ed for thirty." "A foolish proceeding." "True; but I thought Winton the soul of honor; I never dream ed of him absconding with his employer's money. I will never trust any man again." For Rufus Winton, the cash ier of aprominent banking firm, had induced Christie to endorse for him under the plea that he was working out some successful financial venture; and after the bubble burst, disappeared with thousands of dollars belonging to his patrons. "Ashbuirton," there was a lit tie tremblein Winifred's sweet, rather shallow affections wers full voice, '-I have thirty thou- not trustworthy. In the firit sand dollars that you may have gush of gratitude, for Winifred the use of, until you are able to De?.n's timely offer and help, he repay it if if " had made many mental resolves 'If what, Winifred" Ash- to love Winifred; for, with a burton leaned forward,his hand- man's intuition, he had fathom some face losing its haggard ed the motive that prompted look, as he listened eagerly. the offer. But gratitude soften "If von will love me iust a ed into friendship, and friend - little, Ashburton," blurted out Winifred, dropping her red face on the table; for to tell th- truth Winifred would have given twice as much Jor a portion of her cousin's love. Ashburton had a really kind heart and an impulsive nature, and Winifred's magnanimous offer touched him deeply. "Winifred, I do not deserve this," and going around to Win- if red's side, he laid his shapely white hand on her shoulder. Winifred looked up into his face with her heart in her eyes, Surely, if ever, a woman loved man this woman loves me, thought Ashburton, and with strange pain at his heart, he stooped down and kissed her on th lins. Two round arms were around light was dying out of the west his neck in an instant. I era sky, eo was the light of all "Oh, Ashburtoti you will take it! I cannot bear to ?ee you in troable." "Yes yes," A'-hburton hasten ed to say, tslowly and ter.drly nnclaspiug the warm plump arms Irom around his ' but I will nevr be able neck, to ro- pay your kindness." "I want nothing but your love and loving words, Ashburton," sighed poor Winifred. "You don't know how 1 have hunger ed for both." Ashburton sloped his arm around her waist, and with his face bowed on hers, vowed to love her as he loved no other woman. At the time lie may have been sincere, for an hour before his life had looked so desperate that no ray of hope could penetrate the darkness. Now, the gift of this loving, gen erous "woman had flooded his life with sunshine and the homo he loved could be sayed. "But, Winifred, you must not beggar yourself. It may be yers before I can return this money." "I will have the old home, and the rents from my town houses left," smiled Winifred, shyly withdrawing from his en- circling arm; "quite sufficient for m simple needs, cousin." "May God forget me, if I for get you, Winifred Deane," was Ashburton Christie's solemn an swer, "lor you nave been that best of all friends a friend in need." And as Ashburton himself drcve Winifred back to Hawley hope took a stronge hold on the young girl's heart, for she was so blithe, gentle and tender that she imagined that they would one day share her loan together. And for a few months Winifred enjoyed her fool's paradise. Then, when the sharp edge be- an to ear off AsMmrton's grat- itude, the poor girl began to re- rlize her mony was moro at tractive than herself. Ashbur ton grew careless, at first, then colder and colder, until thegirl's heart ached with pain. They were at a iasmonaoie summer resort, and, day after day, Win ifred watched her handsome cousin riding, driving,' rowing and flirting with a lovely young blonde, whom rumor said was fabulously wealthy. Winifred Srew restless ana spent most ot It t M "c, lv,lCiv-" ,wo " "y watching the white capped waves rwl1 m wUh that never ceasing murmurous sound that eemt:u typiusii oj. uer uurust. ne languid afternoon in the beginning of September, as she sat ona uue ooujuer, watcninp the restless waves with her sad ly pathetic eyes, Ashburton saw her and exclaimed, with more warmth than usual, : "I have not seen you lor days." Winifred looked up at him. He was so strong and s hand some, his eyes were so bewitch- ingly bright and Ins smile so wonder all the women were so fond of him. Haudsome, rich and re fined women, too women who wore their wealth and beauty with thegrace she lacked, and her heart softened toward him as he held out his hand. "lou might spare poor me a few moments each day, Ashbur ton. You know lam notattrac live in a fashionable crowd like this; but l nave been a true friend to you," she said gently "You have indeed," he assent' ed, stroking his blonde mus tacue, witn au uneasy light m his blue eyes. For Ashburton Christie lacked the mainspring of all "real feeling namely, principle, for his good deeds wereoftener the result of im pulse than any genuine desue to befriend his fellows, and his ship was fast drifting into that! feeling of indifference with which he had always regarded her. He looked at the little plain face now, and wished tha he could love her as she deseiv- ed to be loved. But one tres of Edith Coulter's blonde hair was dearer to him than all this young girl's blind devotion; yet his voice had a kindlier rinf, as he laid his hand on the bowed head, saying : "Winiferd, I will never forget your kindness. I neglect you, I admit; but still I never wholly forget you. Let us be friends, cousin.' a He stooped down and took one of the little hands in his. But there was no responsive clasp in Winifred's: for even as the future happtno-s dying out of her life. "I will be your friend always," said Wini f red, wearily. I have , few pleasant things to look bark upon in my life, but 1 will al ways be thankful I had the tower to help you." "I will pay 'you both princi ple nd interest when when "Whtn you marry Mis Coul ter," she supplemented, as her heart sank like lead, for she knew by the flush on his face why he hesitated. "Ye, Winifred, Miss Coulter and I are engaged. I told her the whole story, and she is anx ious to make your acquaintance. Come the evening ilr is grow ing chilly. Bwt Winifred drew back. "Not now, Ashburton. To morrow will do as well." She turned her hungry eyes and pale face from him, think ing, with a dull, throbbing pain at her heart, of the kiss he gave her, that bright sumiuf r morn ing. He left her, and like many another woman, who has drank the bitter cup or unrequited love to the very dregs, she laid her white face down on tho boulder and prayed that God would end her misery. Four hours later, Ashburton Christie and his affiance! wife were strolling along the beach, tho moon flooding tho beach, resting bright upon a bowed fig ure, hall-shrouded with a fleecy white shawl. Ashburton paus ed with an exclamation of sur prise on his lips "Winifred! you here yet and alone?" He laid his hand on the bow ed head, liut YMuiirea never stirred. He hastily raised her face, that the moonlight might fall on it, and Edith Coulter shrank away with a low cry, for death had set his seal on the closed eyes. Ashburton started back in horror as all the past coldness smote him like a knife. "She is dead!" "Who inshe, Ashburton?" bienthed Iwth Coulter, clinging to hMn, .'mot not your cousin Winifred ny) cois:n Winifred 'tilled by mytsngrati tude." Heart disease was the verdist, but Ashburton knew better; yet he felt as he gazed at the peace ful face, that God's blessed rest had come to Winifred. Olive Bell inGodey's Lady's Book for July, 1889.
