Saturday, May 27, 1882.
With this issue we enter into
our second volume of tbe Stab,
which has twinkled the past 12
months in the homes of the thou
sands, for whose patronage we re
turn our thanks, and solicit a con
tinuance with a hope to make the
paper even better than it hae been
the past year.
One year ago to-day we ven
tured out upon the sea of journal
ism, and sent forth onr salutatory
in which we said : "We shall
contribute our every effort in
bringing tbe chasm which un
principled fanatics have placed
between tbe two races, believing,
as we do, that the prosperity of
our race redounds to that of tbe
other."
We have at all times and under
all circnmstances endeavored to
follow this declaration of princi
ples that we set forth in our first,
yet we have been placed under
circumstances by which public
sentiment called upon us to deal
with solid facts, this we have en
deavored to do without weighing
the consequences that niight fol
low, and have at all times used
plain Engiish with no uncertain
sound. We have endeavored to
be honest in our views, which ger
minated from unselfish convictions
of an honest heart; and this de
claration we hope to follow in the
future as in tbe past.
Our subscription list has grad -ually
grown from hundreds to the
thousands, and we feel safe in
launching' out for another year
upon the sea of journalism, feeling
that our patrons will aid us in the
future as in the past.
OUR TRIP WEST.'
We left Goldsboro on tbe 14th
inst for the west, wo first halted
at Gieensboro, here we met our
talented young friend C. II. Moore
and he accompaned us to Winston
the next day, we meet his honor
Judge M. S. Eure, who was hold
inp-Forsvth court, an took rooms
at the New York iiestaraunt-anti
rested from our Journey. The next
day we attended Court and ar
ranged our Legal bnsiness after
which we took a Strole through
the Ancient Town of Salim which
is Southwest of Winston-any
Stronger that has never Visited
this Double city Winston-Salem,
butiwhat will se"e the Big Coffee
Pot that divided these two Muni
cipalies. There are some as whole
soulted people in this section of
North Carolina as ever Breated the
breath of life, and in point of thrift
and go ahead they Excel the
Eastern people. We meet Dr.
W. H. Wheeler and the Ed of the
Union Republican-and a host of
other leading Gentleman of that
section,on the night before we
left for other parts, the citizens
gave us a grave ovation with the
brass band and called upon us for
a speech" to which we responded
in our best style Prof Chas, H.
Moore's remarks on this occasion
was very pointed and enjoyed by
tne vast crowd of both white and
colored that came out to hear of
what we had to say. The next
morning at 6 o'clock we took the
cars for Greensboro, there we re
mained until the next morning,
From there we went to Salisbury
and spent a day With our old
friend Prof. A. S. Richardson
Editor of the Star of Zion and
fmm h Ar ft we took passage for
Charlotte to hear the Address oi
Senator Bayard on the occasion of
the Meolenburg Gentermial here
we met the Leading Republican
of the west-andthe indications are
that the state convention on June
7th will be a large one, aud it wil
require the best talent in the state
ti manure! the affair, to avoid a
serious nenderenee for aRepubli
can victory this tall every Repub
lican in the state ought to attend
and show his appreciation of tbe
struggle the independents an
making for liberty in the state and
wholesome laws." The people or on
in favor of O. II. Docery or Col. I.
J. Young for congress at large but
will be stisfied with either of these
Gentleman-the weekest man we
met in the west with the people is
the pomp with out power in the
5th District.
Raleigh, May 25, '82.
Editoa Star .-While visiting
.Raleigh this week we attended tbe
commencement exercises ofSbaw
University, and we must say that
the exercises were good and tbe
orations well delivered. We have
not time to speak of all the orations
separately, but will say that all
done well. Among tbe graduates
were J. S. Lee, of Yancey ville, W.
T. H. Woodward, of Winnsboro
S. C, H. P.. Cheatham, Hender
son, besides two who took their
degrees. The music was good;
the closing piece was composed by
J. S. Lee, one of the graduates. .
We also visited St. Augustin
Normal Institute. This school isl
nnder the charge of Prof. Harris,
and well does he deserve to be
praised,, for bp labors earnestly
and diligently amoDg his pupils.
He has seven teachers and 145
pupils under his charge, and all
seem to be laboring for the good
of their pupils. While there we
listened to several recitatious,
which showed to us that the teach
ers had not been idling their time
away.
We then turned our steps to the
Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute.
This Institution is under the prin
cipaKhip of W. F. Debnoui, a gen
tleman of patience and iitelli
gcnce. While there wo heard a
number of classes, one in essay
writing, and we must say, for tbe
short time some have been there,
that there are some who excel
those of our public school in com
position writing; this school num
bers 50. with tour teachers and
one matron--Mrt. R. E. Harris, of
Goldsboro. AH seem to bo mak
ing rapid progress, and working in
harmouy. We hope that it will
be oni luck to wait these schools
again soon. Mbs. G. T. W.

Editor Slar: The closing exe r
cises of the school to-night by A
B: Vincent near Saul's X Road
was witnessed on the 20th inst. by
one of the largest gatherings of
both races that has ever been seen
in this section among, the colored
people. The Examination com
mencing at 10 o'clock A. M. con
sisted of clones in arithmetic,
Grammar, History of the United
States reading and spelling &c,
Col. Geo. T. Wassom and Prof E.
H. Smith of Goldsboro having been
invited to deliver 'addresses on the
occasion rendered the large au
dience quite;eager for their arrival.
The Cornet Band f the Cross
Roads furnished music for the oc
casionmost of the prominent
white people of this section ot both
sex turned , out and expressed
themselves as ' pleased with the
exercises and even surprised atj
the rapid progress made by the
children.
The afternoon exercises consist
ed of dialogue recitations, ora
tions, vocal and instrumental mu
sic, after which Prof. Smith being
introduced, rose and spoke in com
mendable terms of the progress of
the school. He urged the people
to continue the good wprk, and se
cure the best inaf ruction attain
able. 4
Col. Geo. T. Wassoua being in
the western part of the State, was
unavoidably absent to tbe regret
of the large and appreciat ive au
dience which had assembled to
hear this distinguished young man
of our race.
Yours &o.,v
FACT.
THE GUITEAU CASE.
The argument on the appeal in
the Guiteau case closed last week
and it is now reported that the
court is equally divided on the de
cision, one of the leading points
being the question of jurisdiction
the President dying in New Jersty
and the trial having taken place
in the Dhtiict of Columbia. A
new hearing it is said will be or
dered before the five
Judges in
steap of foor. ygggj
Among the Zuni Idians, who
have recently come to ihe front by
coming East for ocean water, there
is said to be a social custom that
might be worth adopting in more
civilized circles. In Zuni-lacd
the houses belong to the women
instead of the men, 'to a man can
marry without first being obliged
to buy or hire a house; marrying
men are therefore abundaut among
the Zunio. On the other haDd, a
man who marries can occupy, hi
wife's house only during good be
havior, the wife having always
the right to put an uosUj-frti't n y
husband out of doois. Tuis.it a
privilege that would nuae many
au American wife irom abject
slavery to the rank of equal uart
ner in the conjugrtl. firm. But,
whether for husband or wif, the
Zuni plan is an advantageous oue;
it encourages early marriages, as
sures every woman of a home, so
that she need not marry merely to
get one, and it keeps husbands in
order, for almost any man will be
have himself if by so doing be can
avoid the onerous duty of paying
house rent. Eveninq Neics.
THE USUAL RESULT.
It is not to be denied that a good seeing
machine is one of tbe most important
appurtenances of the modern household
We thought we bad a good machine in
our household until one day the agent of
the New Home presented himself at our
door and proceeded to deliver an oration
upon its characteristic aaerits.
'lint, we answeied, "onr maohine
serves us nicely and suits us well, and we
do not care for another,"
The agent, however, was porsisteut,
and finally begged tbe privilege of leav
ing one of his machines with us, "for tbe
ladies to try."
Tbe request was not unreasonable, so
we granted it but more to oblige tbe
agent than anything else; for we really
did not want tbe maohine, and had not
be remotest idea of bnying it.
Tbe machine once in the house, it was
natural that tbe ladies should look it over,
They did so, and aa a consequence fell in
love with it. They say that without the
slightest wish to deory or disparge any
other machine, this, all things consid
ered, is. in their opinon. the most do
sirable one to be had.
The upshot of the whole matter was
that the old maohine was disposed of,
and tne Liieht Hunmns New Home in'
stalled into onr household a very fair
and satisfactory arrangement being made
witn tne agent.
It is pronounoed a genuine beauty and
a real comfort, and our folks wanted us
to teU other folks about it.
