The announce ment that King Manuel of Portugal is soon to pay a visit to England and the intimation that his visit is connected with his betrothal to Princess Alexan dra, daughter of the Duke of Fife and granddaughter of. King Edward, has had the effect this week of throwing the great white light of publicity up on that young lady, who has only re cently been presented to society.

In the teaching of Interest and kindred subjects we make the gain or loss such a part of 100, using common LAW DEPARTMENT. The year in this Department begins with the first Term, and continues for two Terms of sixteen weeks each. Requirements for Admission. The applicants for admission to this Department will be expected to have a fair education in the Common School Branches. , Methods of Instruction. The method of instruction will be by the study of text books, illustrated with the occasional study of cases. The instructors will expound and explain the text, meeting and removing the difficulties of the students by examination and explanation. Illustrative cases will be read and applied. f Lectures upon the different subjects taught in this course will be given from time to time either by one of the instruc tors or by eminent lawyers engaged in the actual practice or the profession. Course of Study. To complete this course will require two years. First Year. Ewell's Essentials, 3 volumes; Clark on Cor porations; Sehouler on Executors; Bisham's Equity"; Clark's Code ox Civil Procedure. Second Year. Revisal of North Carolina ; Constitution of North Carolina; Constitution of United States; Bagehot's English Constitution; Sharswood's Legal Ethics; Shep pard's Constitutional Text-book; Cooley's Principles of. Constitutional Law. EXAMINATIONS. si Written examinations will be given in all departments of the School at the close of each term. These examinations, will be made as thorough as possible. No student will be permitted to pass any branch of study until he shall have passed a satisfactory examination upon the same. We believe that one subject well understood is better for the student than a great number but partially mastered. - LOCATION. This School is situated in Goldsboro, North Carolina, in the Law Building, which is located on the corner of John and Walnut Streets, opposite the National Bank. We re gard this as an ideal location in an ideal town. Our town is one of the greatest railroad centers t f the State, among a people second to none in intelligence, morals, or that natural goodness of heart that make them so we I known, COST. The cost per Session will not be very great. Our idea is -to make the tuition charges so reasonable that it will be in the reach of all who may choose to better their intellectual condition, - igjtftmmm We are more anxious to aid those who need our help than to make the School a great financial success.
