THE OXioEDASTLCM MATTER
)tt another place in this issue
there ia priited a letter from Super
intendent La wrencp, of the Oxford
Orphans Asylum. The Standard
very gladly gives epace to Mr. Law
rence's letter and regrete the lack of
epace at hand to 'publish a number
of certificates accompanying said
letter.
Without entering into a contro
versy with Mr. Lawrence or any
one else The Standard desires to
impress upon his mind the fact that
this paper did not at all "arraign the
conduct of the Oxford Orphan Asy
lum for cruel and inhuman treat
ment to children etc." There has
always been and always will be, we
presume, a difference cf opinion
among men as to what ought to be
published and what ought not.
The Stakdard did not make
these charges, it did not father them,
bet in its news mission it deemed it
not at all wrong or imprudent to
publish them. And . in the light
now before us, we cannot see that
any injury has been done, but on
the other hand it will bring people
to know tee institution who other
wise have never giyen it any thought
or interest.
The statements Tee Standard
published were made in public ar.d
- were on their rounds before thi
paper took them up. It did so, not
in a spirit to endorse or deny (for
it did not have the facts on both
sides) but to bring tbeui to that
point where the authorities might
reach them atvd have an opportunity
to make" their own defense and thus
correct any erroneous impression.
If there was error on The Staxd
abd's part, it was an error of the
head and not of the hear:. And, in
leaving this subject, it must be eaid
that The Jstaxdakd has not
changedjts opinion about the wis
dom of publishing the statements of
the little sick boy, of whom lit.
Lawrence himself speaks so well.
The Standard did not quote Ar
thur arfEif
We v oulv gladly publish the cer
tificates Mt Lwrence Eent had ve
the space; and if he thinks necer?.ry
ands desires, we shall do so in
another issue. There seeniB, how
eyer, no lack of satisfactory infor
mation for the public in this letltr
of Mr. .Lawrence, the prompt and
clear cut leUer of Mrs. Smoot'aril
the published interview with Mr,
Go wan Dusenbury.
The whele matter sent us would
make fully seven times as much as
that published.
We have in possession letterB of
commendation and great praise for
the present administration of the
Asylum, from Dr.. G A Cogeshall,
attending physician; Director J U
Currin; T II Christie, manager of
the farm; J I Bill, head of the shoe
department; Mrs. Belle Austin,
matron; Rebecca Morrison, cook at
the boy's building; 'Irese Grimsley,
Laura Rewland and Elva Blair,
teachers and lookers after the dining
room.
H1STOBT GETTING RIGHT.
A question, in the following
--ardB. was Dut to the Self-Culture
agazine, puousnea in xxew xcts
and Chicago :
"Which was the greatest general,
. Grant or Lee ? Was Grant's success
due to his superiority as a general ?"
After sayiDg many nice things
about Lee and his father, "Light-
Horse Harry, the edi.or of this
excellent Magazine follows up the
.- elements of generalship of these two
great generals Bnd soldiers to the
disparagement nf - neither until it
answers the last question in these
beautiful, truthful words that, com
ing from the source they do, make an
unpolluted and uncontaininated
Southern "heart full to overflowing.
Here is the brief sentence :
"We see not how anv historian, at
even the remotest distance of future
time can recall the colossal memories
of Gettysburg without shrinking
from the task of disparaging the
sreneralshin of Lee; pitted there
gainst Meade instead of Grant; and
if we follow Lee and bis beaten army
to their last stand, face to face with
Grant there seems to be no escape
from the fact, that the awful frown
of destiny and not the failure of
Lee gave to Grant the final triumph
fit the tJuion' '

Two matters came before the con

The repcrt of the Constitutional
Commission appointed by the last
convention provokes much debate
It is admitted to contain many use
fui provisions, but ia objected on the
ground that it unduly enlarges the
powers of the Bishops and curtail
those of the other chrgy and of the
laity.
The proposition to change the
name of the churcn will come up
again. Some wish to have it sailed
"the American Chuich," others "tbf
Holy Catholic Church," wbile there
is another class that insists on the
name "tie Church.'' Tee subject
of church union will probably be
discussed again, but with no hope
of a coming together cf the denomi
nations on the basis of the Four
Lambeth propositions. If church
union ever comes, it is now recog
nized by the Episcopalians that

The fieidsville Review wrote an
editorial on the newspaper dead-beat
and the Statesville Landmark fol
lows it up as follows :
"The Statesville Landmark writes
about the same dead-beac, bnt from
another point of view. Our obser
vation and ei perience hp.ve been euch
as to tell n3 that the Landmark is
right that it baa sized the news
paper deal-beat up pretey accurate
ly. It est !
That is an interesting cud veil
written article from the Reicisville
Review, about the dead-beat sub'
scriber. It will touch a responsive
chord i the breast of every news
paper man in the State, as well as in
other lines of business. But tbe
Landmark's experience is .djEei'ent
irotn that of thj Review m one im
portant particer. Our experience
is that of the deadsbeat, instead of
co.nplimenting the paper, is gener
rIJj- a yery exacting individual, in
finitely more eo than the best cash
payiiff subscriber on tbe bo k. It
is tiiliicuifc to get tlio paper up to
the standard of excellence that be
rrqtiires of it, and he is generally
trte with his criticisms. After c
time when you begin to press him
for ctsh, be ib freo to say that the
paper is no account anil tnat he only
takes it as an accomodation to you
feeling it his duty to encourage
editors by subscribing for their paper
even if be never psjs for them.
And if yen should become hard
hearted enough to shut o his free
reading matter entirely, he will be
outraged ; he will be your enemy for
life. He will make it his business
to put in a word against you or your
paper on all occasions; he will tell
how it has deteriorated, he will won
der why people take your sheet at
all; and he will point out the excel
lencies of the rival newspaper. And
all this because you allowed him to
read .the. paper two or three years
withont'pay and then tried to col
lect out of the infernal scoundrel
what'was honestly your due."

General Mahone, the soldier, poli
tician and financier is dead. He had
been daubed "Little Billy Mahone."
There was nothing about him ex
cept physique that justified this
name. Gen. Mahone, though he
lost his grip and his influence, so
complished a work, be it good or
bad, that but few men would dare
undertake, and, if undertaken, could
scarcely hope for success. No little
man in mind, courage and ability
could accomplish what he did in the
Old Dominion.
That he at last failed, only re.
minds us of many, whose name3
siand conspicuously on the pages of
history, that flourished once but
died whipped and broken hearted.
He had many traits of character
that made him more than ordinary.
he helped many, when in struggles,
who in af er days turned,- d3 a dog,
upon him and abused his- name

even their children inherited it.

the type makes us say things we

Buffalo Bill's Great Exhibition Al

The event ia the a:n'isement
world this year wfll be the advent
of Buffalo Bill's Wild 'West. It is
over eight years since this great
educational eutertninment has bsen
seen ia this vicinity, and in those
years it has had an experience ano a
career unequalled in the woild's
history.
It hi)s mnji. - times traversed tbe
Atlantic; i-. was the crowning fa
tui-e at the great Carnival in Lons
don iii commemoration of the fif
teenth ye ar of tho reign of Queers
Victoria; it disputed with the iEiffel
T&wer tho palm for interest and
succesg at iLe World's Fair inPa'is
in 1S83; it traverse 3 Europe, croaaed
tbe "Alps aud tbe Pvrenees, and
camped beneath the tt lis of tho Al
hanJ r9 and within tho vast iutevior
cf the Colosseum a', XLme. Princes
potentates aud powers have al! bet-:i
srufifiis at its tablea aid hi va' 'earned
ths 16S8DE3 of the couq'lest cf the
New World from conqueror and
corqatrtd.
The unofficial recognition of right
governments is necessary to secure
ti'j different classes of horsemen
who compose the human interest cf
the show- There are Kussian Cosh
sacks end Indians and Arabs and
South Americas Cauchos and Cow
boys and Plainsmaii, of whom Col.
Cody is the type, and Mexican
Kur&iie from old Mexico, headed by
the truly wonderful Sijnor Oropezi
and Texas Vuqueros (Spanish Amer
items), thus including all the priml
tive men who are horsemen, and in
conjunction with them cavalry from
the United States, England, France
and Germany, representing the four
greatest cavalry nations of the
world.
To give the performance in ''as
complete form as it was given in
Chicago is required an auxiliary
coips of 400 tmployeesbesiden 400
arena performers, 800 in aU. There
aie 225 draught horses .which aro
used to haul the paraphernalia
alone, besides the 300 horses used
in the arena.
The magnitude of this enterprise,
vhich travels with all the require
ments of an army, ia in itself a mar
vel. It requires two trains to trans
port it, and carries with it not only
an army of men and horses, but the
largest portable grand stand, oa
pable of seating 20,000 people, ever
constructed, &Td a portable electric
light plant of 250,000 candle-power,
which gives "a lustre of midday to
objects below."
The entertainment,, too, has jbeen
greatly 'altered, enlarged and im
proved during these past eight
years. It sat ft the gates of the
Great Columbian Exposition at Chi
cago two years ago, and as "the key
to all," as it was justly called, rival
led in interea that greatest achieve
ment of civilized man.
Arrangements have been made to
give the show iu as complete a foi-m
as it wan presented in Chicago, at
the same time going through the
country ;from place to place and
making stands of one day, two day p,
one week and two weeks, accordica
