Stanly and Cabarrus counties have arranged for a joint Institute to be heJ4 at Misenheimer & Lentz's Springs from Juiy 9 to 20 inclur sire. The exertions of the Super intendents of Public Instruction for these counties to bring about this assembling together of those who have in charge the educational ad vancement of our children for a mutual exchange of ideas, cannot be too highly spoken of. We have no doubt but that a rare treat is in store for those who aail themselves of this meeting together, and we believe ft will be of vast benefit to everyone present. We trust that success, in its broadest sense, will attend it. In this busy working age, when the accumulation of houses, lands and bank stock accounts engross the minds, the thoughts and acts of evr ery one. let us not forget that edu cation is the stepping stone to all success, national or Mate, public or private. The influence of our teach ers on the general tone of moral and mental improvement is becoming more marked each year. Our schools and colleges are to decide the status of a new generation, and our pres ent system of education has become almost a national academy. The majority of our colleges and higher ghouls are under the supervision of clerical teachers, whose moral in fluence ;s brought to bear on those under their charge. This same in fluence has entwjned itself around our common schools so that our whole educational course is almost assimilated to a common standard. As apoople we are, through our ed ucational progiess, encouraging and building up a reputation for intel ligence that will be felt in the nations, halls and in the private parlor. The influence of our edu cational institutions is lifting the whole people to a higher plane of moral aud mental jc.ilture. The mind brightened by intellectual advance ment realizes more fully the bright and beautiful in creation; the woods and fields, the hills and vales have a sweeter charm and looking upward to the azure blue above, man realize that an omnipotent hand fitted him, in the creation, with mental faculty to study and enjoy his handiwork. Let. us give to every educational enterprise our full and undivided support, and by our aid' rnak.e Caro lina, initillfctually, the vxUj state, and let Stanly and Gahamis, by their presence at this Iastilnte, endorse the course of those at -The head of their conmv.n school system, and thereby give a greater jm.pctus to progressive education. iiichmoud, Va., has a population 3.f 100,000 aud is growing rapidly. THE NATIONAL TICKET. No ticket that either party has presented fa the people for their suffrages since the war has com manded such universal respect, or embraced so many elements of popu lar strength as the present Demo cratic slate for President and Vice President. Whatever faults Mr. Cleveland has exhibited and neither he nor his friends claim perfection for him have been trivial and even his enemies admit that they have come from the head and not from the heart. The great striking charap; teristic of the man is his unflinch ing, unbending desire to do the thing that is right, aud he never fails to define his pqsition on any given subjept so clearly a4 SP sharp ly that there pan be no mistake as to where he stands. He is not a favqrite with the average politician, nor has he everbeen the politicians' candidate. His nomination four years ago was made in forced Qbedi encp to the direct and lpudly-ex? pressed, wfsh of the people, and this year it was even more so. For the people with that intuitive sagacity that never errs recognize in him their friend, and they know that whatever contests may arise, pr whatever issues may be presented, he will always be found on their side and battling for their rights. And it takes a man with more than ordinary nerve and backbone to brush away the rnjsts, and fqgs in which so many measures are en veloped when they are brought be fore the President and sternly, unwaveringly do the thing that is right. Many of his own party and his own friends have to be offended, and he has to bear much undeiserved reproach andabues. Mr. Cleveland has been through all this, and he stands to-day before the American people as tfra type of everything that is great an4 ennobling in national politics, and the bravest and most fearless President since the days of Andrew Jackson. And if ever there was a nomina tion made that just suited every body, and everybody wanted, it Mas the nomination of the second man qn the ticket, Allen G. Thurman. He has been sp long a great figure in national affairs, and his record is so grand, so simple, so stainless, that the rank and file of the Democracy positively love him. It will be like voting for an intimate friend to deposit a ballot for Thurman next November, and about six millions of his personal friends will avail them selves of that privilege, no matter what the weather is, It must have been an inspiration (hat brought out his naine aud sent it through the convention with such a whoop and hurrah, and the wisdom of it will be very clearly set forth when the returns come in next November. Anyhow the ticket is invincible, and the struggles of the dying Republican party would he laugha ble if they were not pitiable, I XSER FRITZ. A pall of gloomy sadness again hovers o'er the Fatherland. Na tional grief at tle death of their beloved Emperor, Frederick the Third moves all Germany. In less than a year this great home-loving people have been called on through the dispensation of a M ise providence to jnonrn the loss of two great rulers. Kir.er Wil liam, who by a just administration knit the hearts of Germany together as one man i3 no more. Unser Fritz, as li wa3 wont to be called by his soldiers who followed him with confidence and love o'er many a bloody battle field, is cold and dead at the commencement of his reign. A nation mourns. Jday the youthful prince who now ascends the throne as Emperor, so rule that, like his father and grand father, all Germany will love and respect him. America, as a nation, sympathizes with Germany jn this loss of her great rulers with-4 symr pathy almost of close relationship, many of the sturdy citizens of this greatest Republic being German pr qf German descent.

We are pleased to see that politi cally North Carolina is recognized by the National Democracy as de serving of a front seat in the syna gogue, and we must even again con gratulate our own couuty of Cabar rus on the honor conferred upon her by the appointment of one of her sons to the Vice-Presidency pf the National Cqnveutipn. Davie Letter. Epitors Standard: We are now in the midst qf harvest an we Gan hear the ring of the scythe. Wheat is considerably damaged by the scab, and will not be more than one half of an average crop. On last Saturday, the 10th inst., the ppmer-stone of the new Metho dist Episcopal Church South, to be built at Fulton, in this county, was laid with impressing ceremonies. Mr. A. C. Cornatzer's distillery panie very near being, destroyed by fire on last Saturday. His, distiller went tp breakfast and when he re turned about one half of the roof was on fire. Plenty of water and good pluck on the distiller's part saved the wall of the hPuse Dut the roof was all destroyed and stills damaged by falling timber. There are two Morman Elders, or Latter day saints, as they call them selves canvassing this couuty pretty thoroughly. They preached once or twice at Hunters old mill in this county. They claim they are sent here to enlighten the people in the true way, but we hope the good people of Davie county will give them to understand that they don't want any Mormouism or Latter day saiutism mixed with their present religious denominations. We say tjiey are nothing but' a delusion, and drum, tliem out and let them return to Salt Lake City, Utah, where they claim to nave supn a glorious country. Dr. Geo. H. Lippard has wholly revered from his recent illness and is now riding as usual. Oh, how they do squirm and try to find a way out, but we have a Fowle Holt (foul holt) on them, aud we know by their looks that the grip is a strong one, and is causing considerable un.iisin.;s3 in h Radi cal camp. Hurrah for Cleveland and Thur? man. C, JL. Radical Bill. Twenty years ago this fall there was an election held in this State, the equal of which had neyer occur red before, nor can ever be repeated. A large proportion pf the vote cast upon that occasion was from a class of people just enfranchised, in fact enfranchised by that vote, while thousands were disfranchised from that high privilege. The profligate legislature wasted the diminished resources cf the state as if bept on utler destruction. The governor elected then struck out to ayenge imagined wrongs that he had j received, whom the patriotic people refused three years before Ui elect him by their votes to a place to which he had been appointed by the au thorities at Washington; and as if infuriated,began the use of the posi tion to the utter destruction of the elate in all its brancees, legislative and judicial. Bogus bonds were itsued to fabu lous amounts, and as if determined that the poor children of the State should never be able to read the dia bolical acts of jthe day, the public fund W3.S fiendishly squandered. Moneys belonging to that fund jnr veei4 in well paying stocks, yere trams 'rre4 i& an investment in these valueless issues at dollar for dollar, when the eaipe were being hacked around the streets of Jjew York at fifteen cents on the dollar, and proved a Joss to those who bought even at that low figure. To finish up the matter the most horrible con spiracy against the rightsjof freemen was organized that has eyer blurred the fair pages of American history. An army was called tp the field solely responsible to the govern ment for its aets, composed of men in fijme cases brought from other States for their achievements in in fantry, and from this State in some instances for a like reason, marshall ed and equipped at enormous ex pense, and sent'forth to arrest who ever he might designate or their own evil propensities suggest, A number of the first iaen3 in every thing that constitutes & geptleman and potriot, were wrenched from their homes, and in the eyes of trem bling wives and wailing children were marched off by this horde pf irresponsible wreches to dungeons and pens reeking with filth and yer min, too loatliscmje jto meDtion, An equally irresponsible xcpurt martial was organized to try these prisoners and was in motion tq its vf ork of in iquity and bipod when the check came. The wits of habeas corpus from the Supreme beuph of the proud old State has been regarded. "Them papers is played out, was the defiant reply to the officer serving them; the Executive would not demand obe dience to them, hence in ruth the "Judiciary was exhausted.'' But light came in the d,ark period ancl it oame through Democratic unity. United efforts of Democrats broke tliH shackles from the limbs of these imperiled citizens, and by the man date of Judge Brooks, of blessed memory, they were marched out in to the free air of American pitizen- ship. United efforts of the imterri- fied democracy elected a majority of the legislature, and the Qoyernor was impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. The army of his choice and dependence was disband ed and skulked away to their letreats and once moee the light of good Qid English liberty broke over the Old North State. The same party under the same leaders confront us now, and would, if they had the power, re-enact the scenes, ' of that dark and gloomy period. Demoprats must remember that united we &t$nd,divided we fall Newbern Journal. Caiuer of the Larynx. A Berlin special says: The pattr mqrten examination was confined to a dissection of the neck, larynx and lungs. In the larynx, which was found to have been destroyed by suppuration, was a cavity about the size of a clenched fist. Dr. Macken. zie states, in the report which he prepared at the command of Empe ror William, that the disease was be yond doubt cancer of the larynx. He adds that the-diagnosis was ren dered very difficult, as the disease attacked the cartilage cf the larynx at the outset and afterwards de veloped chieily in the lower part of the cartilage. The National Zeitung says that the autopsy proved that the larynx was ppmpletely destroyed by cancer, and that putrid bronciiitis existed. There Was also inflammatioo of the finer ramifications pf the bronchial tubes,- into which putrescent partic les had entered. The whole larynx was jn a state of suppuration, and presented a soft, lumpy mass, with scarcely any trace pf cartilaginous Structure remaining. There was upthjug to show fhe existence of perf oration pf the walls separating the trachea and oesophagus. The choking sensation from which the Emperor suffered during the last days of his life, which was attributed to such a perforation, appears to have been really due to collapse of the larynx, owing to the destruction of the cartilage. Tpe direct cause of death is given as paralysis of the lungs. The post-mortem examina tion occupied one hour. A Bad Accident. The Richmond & Danville train due here from Washington at 12:35 p ra., last Sunday, did not arrive until 9 p. m. The delay was caused by tLe wreck pf the Loyiss-jjle express, a train which runs over the Virginia Midland line from -'Washington Chariot! esville. The train iiw the track when roupdiug a curve near Fairfax court house, and everything wept down the embankment, save the rear sleeper. The engine fairly flew into the air and was torn all to pieces; the baggage car was shivered to atoms j the second class car was crushed out of all shape, the trucks aud floor of the first class ear were broken up, and the forward end of the sleeping car next to the first class coach was crushed in like an esg shell. The rear sleeper regain ed on the track and was uninjured. Four people were killed outright, and twenty-seven passengers were injured, more or less. The men who were killed were the engineer, fire niaa, baggageman and a telegraph operator who was riding on the en gine, Their names could not be learned, but all, except the operator, were Chesapeak & Ohio employes.

At 9 o'clock the bells were tolled and the ministers who were to officiate at tbe Emperor's funeral took their places around the coffip in the palace. The choir sang the hymn8"Soon Thou Callest me to Higher Joys" and "Jesus is my Tmst." Chaplain Koegel jblessedthe corpse and mourners, after which the choir sang the hymn "If J am to Pie.''

During the lte civil war he was the first regimental commander of the 19th N. C. troops (the 2d cavalry) and saw niuch active service with this justly famous command to which he was always most affectionately at tached. Ixgalls, too has hopes of being struck by the lightning at Cnicago, He has run up his rod. It must be a free for all fight, indeed, if such a disgracefui character as Ingalls can be counted in.
