THE STliDIBD. FllIDAY, May 17, Jas. r. Cook, ) Lditors and B. E. I-Iakkis, f l'roprie tors. THE COMMENCEMENT SEASON. At this season of the year acade mies, colleges and universities are casting around for and announcing the selection of an orator for their commencement exercises. It is the "red letter" period of the year. Perhaps to this character in such exercises are due so many failures in the life's work of so many young men and women. Not a few of the speakers, in flattering terms, make the weaker ones believe that life is a ladder whose - topmost round in im portance and weight can be reached with a single bound. They uncon sciously lead them to believe that honor and dignity so ewtet and so big to the majority of mankind lie in the professions, and around them the brightest constellations of brain, character, influence, honor and fame revolve. They unfortunately fail to lift up to the admiration of all the dignity and importance of manual labor. At the door of the average commencement orator can well be placed many of the faults advanced against popular and higher educa tion. The profuse compliments in which many speakers indulge make vain and cause many young men and women to Attach too much impor tance to their own individuality and their own efforts. If our commencement orators can invent a way to induce the boys and girls of the country to do a little more thinking for themselves, and to cherish a love for all honest labor, and not be ashamed of those things taught them by their fathers and mothers, the condition of the next generation will be an improvement over that through . which we now move. The colleges themselves are re sponsible for no little of the injury of which we speak. A high school pops up in some village or at some X-road, and shortly it passes itself for a full-fledged college. They make A. B.'s, A. M.'b, Pkl Vs, I). D.'s, LL. D.'s and many other distinctions out oi weak, superiiciai, vain men, who in themselves are total failures. They even buy thess titles sometimes. These degrees are thrown around by the wagon load to such an extent that they have lost their meaning and their weight. The time was When Ph.D.,D. D., LL. D. and other titles would introduce a man hon estly and fairly, hut you can't weigh a man to-day by the handles he wears to his name. "What a glorious thing it would be for the colleges, for the men them selves, and especially for the boys, if eome of these honored few would decline to accept of the degrees so often thrust upon them by one-horse colleges and academies passing as colleges ! But, then, it seems a pop ular thing to sail under false colors. Ex-President Davis's Letter. Fayetteville Observer. Beauvoir, Miss., May 3, '89 Gentlemen Your very kind and gratifying letter of the 18th ult. has been received. I would gladly accept the invitation to attend the meeting to celebrate the ICOth anniversary of the ratification by North Carolina of the Constitution of the United States and to officiate as orator on that oc casion as invited: but it is not only doubtful whether ! shall be able to attend, but improbable that I could satisfactorily perform the duties of orator. I must ask of you to accept the assurance that I would meet you as invited, health and strength per mitting, but request of your kind ness and consideration that you w ill select some other person for the hon orable position of orator to which your people, in mass meeting assem bled, have in such flattering terms assigned to me. North Carolina, first in assertion of the unalienable rights of man, prompt in open resistance to en croachment by the crown upon the charters of the colonies, steady in the maintenance of the Declaration of Independence, slow to grant pow ers which might be perverted to the impairment of her liberties, and faithful throughout her existence as a sovereign State to every obligation of compact, is to be honored and revered as well for her promptitude to resists aggression, as for her care ful guardianship of the community rights of her people. Presenting to you, and through you to your associates, my sincere thanks for the honor conferred upon me, I am ever faithfully yours, Jzffersox Davis.

HARRISOX'S SUXI-AY EXCURSION THE COLORED -VAN AXI) RROT1IER GETS AX OFFICE CORPORAL TAXXEU HAS THE VIG HEAD couxTixr: the money IX THE TREASURY RILL CHAXDLER AT HIS OLD TRICKS. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washixgtox, May 13th, 1889. Harrison's religious following will probably be greatly shocked to learn that the truly good and pious Benja min has been indulging in a sinful Sunday excursion. But such is the fact. Pious Benny left Washington Saturday morning on board of the Government vessel Despatch, and the sailing master's orders where to keen going night and day until the return to Washington to-night. And, to make matfers worse, he has led off with him such innocents as Sec retary Windoni, who has not yet en tirely recovered from the effect of his own indulgence at the last New York celebration; Secretary Rush, who, by the way, needs salt air very much since he was "fresh" enough to think that wielding a scythe for five minutes in the presence of several newspaper correspondents was suf ficient to popularize him with the agriculturists and working people of the country; and lastly, but by no means least, Joe Ilawley, who, al though born in the State of North Carolina, can and does constantly give the trickiest citizens of the State which he represents in the United States Senate Connecticut points in all manner of things. Mrs. Harrison was along, but so also were the two McKee children, who pro bably fully occupied her time, leav ing the four mark the number pious gentlemen to indulge in their favorite game to as great an extent as they might wish. What was done will probably never be known, as neither of the four concerned are likely to tell any tales. Chief Justice Fuller, finding the residence in the suburbs which he now occupies under lease to be too far from the capitol for him to walk to and from the Supreme Court room in the capitol, has purchased one of the most desirable private houses in this city, located almost in its centre. The price paid was 100,- 000 cash. Mr. Palmer, the new Public Printer, took charge of the Govern ment Printing Oflice this morning. Mr. Benedict, the retiring Public Printer, ha3 not been a popular official. No man can be, in that office, who properly looks out for the interests of the Government, but he has nevertheless been one of the very best public printers we have ever had. There has been less waste and more work turned out for the amount paid than was ever before known in the history of the oflice. At last the colored man and brother has captured a Presidential appoint ment. The lucky man was Rev. J. M. Townsend, of Bichmond, Ind., and the oflice was Recorder of the General Land Office; not a big office by any means, but just now the race is extremely thankful for anything it can get. Corporal Tanner is getting to imagine himself the "biggest" man connected with the administration. Some of his personal friends have already begun to talk of him as a Presidential canidate. If less than two months at the head of the pen sion bureau has had this much effect, what may be expected of four years ? The $190,000,000 in the United States treasury has all to be counted in order that Mr. Hyatt, the retiring treasurer, may take the receipt of the new treasurer, Mr. Huston, for the same. The count began to-day, and is expected to last something like three months Nearly four-fifths of the money consists of standard silver dollars. Mr. Wanamaker is opposed to one cent postage. He seems to have al ready become a victim to the fever that postmaster general always get soon after their appointments and seldom ever get rid of. That is the absurd desire to make the Postoffice Department self-sustaining. It is dollars to ginger cakes that some New Hampshire paper mill gets in its work early in the adminis tration of the new public printer. My reason for thinking so is that little "Billy" Chandler helped Pal mer fix up his bond and also went on it himself. Now Chandler never does anything for nothing, and his long experience in manufacturing government contracts in which lie has been ailently interested causes us to believe that in this case he will stick to the same line of tactics that have made him a rich man. The appointment of EirGoveincr Thompson, of South Carolina, as the Democratic, and Mr. Theodore Roose velt, of New York, as the second Republican member of the Civil Service Commission makes the board complete for the first time in many months. One of the first things that the commissioner intends to do is to contest the recent decision of the Interior Department that ap pointments in the census bureaus would be made without civil-service examinations.

Jerusalem is an inland town of about twenty-five families, situated on the stage road leading from Salisbury to Mocksville, twelve miles north of the former and six miles south of the later place, and is, or what has been, known as the forks of the Yadkin river, is about equal distance from t!:cbank of each river viz : two miles to each river.

There is con nected with thy saw mill shingle machines and planing machinery, all in a prosperous condition; and if all the families of the village would do as well as one of them did about a week ago it would soon double its population. It added in one day to the place one brood of sixteen chickens, one calf, one colt of fine stock, and a family of four kittens, and last, but not least, one fine boy baby weighing ten pounds net; all are doing well, and still there is ample room for more, includ ing all the above industries' as well as population.
