Oft has it been my lot to mark A proud conceited talking spark, lieturning from a finished tour, Grown teu times perter than before. t or, if a word you chance to drop, The "raveled fool jour mouth will stop . . "Sir, if my judgement you'll allow, I've seen and sure I ought to know." And begs you'll pay a due submis sion, And acquiesce in his deeision. Two traveler?, of such a caste, As o'er Arabias wilds they passed, Discoursed awhile in friendly chat Now talked of this and then of that. Conversed in turn upon the matter, Of a cameleon's form and nature, "A stranger animal," says one, 'Sure never lived beneath tha 6un, A lilzzurd.s body, lean and long, A fish's head a serpent's tongue; 'Tis first his form, and then his hue. Who ever saw bo fint a blue?" "Hold there," the other quick replies, "Tis green, I saw ic witb.these eyes, Stretched in the sun the beast I viewed, Aud saw him eat the air for food." "I've seen him sir, as well you, And must again affirm him blue. At leisure I the beast surveyed Extended in the cooling." "Green! sir, green! sir, I assure you, Green! cries the other in a fury. "v hy! sir, d've think I've lost my eyes?" "Twere no great loss," his friend re plies, , "For if they alwavs serve you thus, You'll find them of but little use," So high, at last, the contest rose; From words, it almost came to blows, Till, luckily, they met a third, To htm the question referred. Aud begged he'd tell them if he knew, Whether the thing was green or blue. "Sirs," cries the umpire, cease yortr pother, 'I he creature's neither one nor t'other. I caught the animal last ui;ht, And viewed him by candle lght, I marked him well: he's black as jet, You stare, but, sirs, I've got him yet, And can produce l.im.HPray sir do. I'll lay my life the thing is blue." "And" I'll be sworn, that whvn you've seen, The reptile, you'll pronounce lm green," ".Well; then, at once, to end the doubt, Replied, the man, "I'll turn him out," Then full before their eager sight, Produced the beast,, aud lol 'twas w hi tew Tke Teachers' Extrati to Europe, Those who have iu charge the manageuient of the N. C. Teachers' Assembly, deserve much praise for the efficient manner in which they have always prepared for the pleas ure and entertainment of the mem bers of the Assembly. But they have fairly eclipsed themselves, and the teachers of every other state, in providing what promises to be a most enjoyable excursion to Europe this summer. It will a six weeks trip, leaving Morehead City July 4tb, and return ing abwtit Ai g 20th. They propose to visit Ediuboro, Glasgow, Belfast,! (aud the celebrated Giant's Cause way near there), Ayr( Bum's. home) Loudon and Paris. At each of the two last places, they will remain six days, taking in the great Internation al Exposition at Paris, which is of iitatlf amply worth what the whole trip costs. The cost for the entire trip will be only $150K which will include all necessary expenses. The appointments are first class in every way. Think about it teachers, and think fast, for you must apply to Mr. Eu gene Harrell, Raleigh, N.

Palatini Ntablc Perhaps in no other direction has the fancy of rich Americans reached so extravagant a point as iu the con struction of 6tables. A few days ago a man in one of the smaller citie3 of New York State gave a dinner party in his stable, to cele brate the completion of that struct ure, lie is a rich man, but not par ticularly well known. There is no lack of old-fashioned and uncon ventional houses in the town where he lives, but perhaps no one building in the place will ever achieve such notoriety as this stable is destined to attain. Everylody has been jiiore or less amused at the common spec tacle of a ten thousand dollar house and a fifty thousand dollar stable, but few 6tables hae reached the proportions of the one which has jnst bestowed a new distinction upon Syracuse. The fact that it cost con siderably over five hundred thousand dollars is of small consequence com pared to the ineffable grandeur of detail of the establishment When the groom steps back from cleaning the harness, he will stand at ease upon a soft and thickly woven Turk ish rug which was bought at a great bargain, we are gravely informed, for a thousand dollars. Many of the portieres which divide the dif ferent compartments of the stable were quite as expensive as this rug, and the draperies throughout are of the most valuable- sort More wor thy of note, however, than any of these details, is the fact that, in the small blacksmith's- shop which is located in one corner of the building, the ffistheticism of the owner has reached such a point that att of the tools, including the forge and the anvil are either nickel or silver plated. Whether a horse trots any better for being shod bysilvsc-nlated. tools and led through embroidered poffeieres arid over Turkish rugs to a boxed stall which is carved in rosewood and mahogany, is a ques tion for experts to answer.

A Brave Man rm4 a Bald t'aptalv. Is Mr. Flagler, the proprietor of the Ponca Jde Leon Hotel, of St Augustine, Florida, if we may judge from the following taken from the Baltimore Sun: "Curious stories come from the Ponce de Leon Hotel in St Augus tine. Mr. Flagler's expenditure there, now amounts to nearly $6,000,000. Early in January thin were only twelve guests in the hotel. At the same time two bands . vv tre engaged in the hotel. One was a Spanish band that played during the dinnfr hour on mandolins aud sang quaint Spanish songs. The other was a famous New York band, which played in the courts at the morning ana evening concerts. Mr. Seavey, the manager of the hotel wrote Mr. Flagler and sug gested as there were only twelve guests in the house, he dispense with one of the bands. Mr. Flag ler wrote back that he didn't want any sugestions from Mr. Sevey as to how expenses could be decreased, but that if he had anything to say as to how the attractiveness of the hotel could be increased, he would be glad to hear from him. Mr. Flagler does not seem to be dis couraged. He has just bought the railroad running from St Angus tine to Palat&a and from St. Augus tine to Jacksonville. Last Sunday he changed both of these to broad gauge roads and shortened the schedule more than half. He is mil ii nr in lr!l ira nt'iir im St. John's river so that the vesti bule trains can run into St Augus tine, to coast $300,000, a magnifi cent church aud a union depot that will cost $200,000. This depot he will surround with a superb park. He is paving every street running to the hotel with asphalt at his own expense) to make St Augustine tlx grandest pleasure spot on earth. His Russian baths iu the Alcazar cost $300,000, and are luxurious beyond description. He says he will spend $20,000,000 before he has completed hi3 pleasure plant to meet his ideas."

A large amount of provision were-brought at Troy N. Y., by Elbert Anderson, a Unit ed States contractor. The goods were inspected at Troy, by two brothers named Ebenezer and Sam uel Wilson, the Itater of whom was known among all the workmen as Uncle Sam. The packages of goods were marked E. A. U. S. A witty workmen was asked what these let ters meant, aud jocosely said it must be Elbertt Anderson and Uncle Sam. The latter term soon came to be in current use for the United States.
