The Christian Advocate. UKVTJ. bTbOBIJITT, Editor. BALEIGH, MAY 14!1373. r7I7 nirtJ.V LIFE THE row t " - The wholesome air around 3 at lv and constantly continues its benign work, healing the vitiated blood in our veins. Even if we arc unabio t understand the secret of its power, and are unconscious o. Jt3 lOUuSUtB c rdwsvs, when n in lis presence, renewed by ila insing breath. Quietly the sun pours do. n its beams upon the vegetable wonu, and constantly renews the fcce cf na ture. Ia like manner, a holy ate af ff s all that como under its icuaeuee. V rcfiy not be demonstrative, nc 01- ten articulate, if it bo only huriacn ious and constant; if it contrary breathe a heavenly atmosphere around it, and shine in the light of God's countenance, it will operate effectively upon all that come within its h allowed circle. There is no voice in the light-house tower that elands en the dangerous civw t the enhance c the haibc "there 13 the way, or ima a plaeo of dan -" T or'v s:acd9 c.;iQv,!-e ni-.il kindly in the l". night and through the terrible gtue, and pours its blessed light down po the raging waters, ever the dangerous rocks, and out upon the angry sea, nntiltho houie-top-r of the distant ciiv are burnished with its beams. The exposed, chilled and wecrj saw . 1 . n i - - -. -,f the rejoices, as m ics night, and the uncertainty ana . ger of his voyage, he catcnes -j euring and comforting light. Hej blesses this fcilent, but eloquent coast guard, standing so faithfully at its pest, as he tails under its gentle ben edictions, and looks out upon the stream of its light and is guided by it to the desired haven. A holy life may be for a time in audible;" God may not have bestowed upon it the gift of tongues, bat it stands forth amid the darkness around it and shines with brilliancy. It pours its blessed rays upon this busy, surging life, exposing both its danger ous places and its tafe channels, its warm beams fall with a genial bene diction upon all that approach it, and its light streams down the river of life until it xesla upon and discloses the walls and to wers of the celestial city. It is a high honor to preach the Gospel, and one may eagerly respond to the divine call "Hers am I, send uie." There is, however, a humble office, perhaps not lass effective in re sults, which any one siay SU, that of presenting daily before a:: cnbeHwIrg world tho unanswerable, r.llhoni-h un spoken, argument of a holy lifo. In the great day of eternity, it will b seen what a power unto saltation such a life has been. It will not be sur prising if more stars should shine m the crowns placed on such browr , than upon some whoso rarer gifts and op portunities have not been sanctified by the grace of a holy temper and a consecrated life. We do not mean an inactive life when we speak of a quiet one. A holy life cannot bo inactive. The sun must keep shining, the living tree must bring forth fruit. The author of all spiritual ifa has said, "Ho that abideth in mo ",ul I in him, the sasne bringeth forth much fruit.'' Tuis vital principle which Chiht -i?en,does not expend itself in holy e-jaotionj and exercises, but it becomes the invigora ting current, running through the whole daily life, producing fruit in the family, in the social circle, in the place of business, and every where. This is one cf the marked elements of power in a holy life its constancy. Preaching 13 occasional, and religioss service has H3 periods; but a holy life is like a river, running night and day, and making its banks green through out its course. A holy life is irresistible. Preju dice and willfulness may oppose the most moving discourses, but they can not stand up against a truly holy life. They may not yield fully to it, but they must be convicted by it. It ap proaches men ia unexpected hours and places. It cannot be counterfeit ed. Men may speak like angels, pray like saints, and weep like the suffering prophet, and shout like tho trumpets of the Levites, but they cannot live a holy life unless they are holy. They may keep up a solemn appearance, 1 hey may use a round of sanctified ex pressions, they may seem to have a heavenly air and a saintly tone about them, but they cannot exhibit the spirit of Christ unless he ie formed within them. The fruits of the Spirit do not grow on the natural branches; the constant peace, love, parity, ear nestness of holy purposes which spring from the Gospel, bear on their face the unmistakable evidence cf their own authenticity and origin. The youngest and the humblest are conscious of the difference between the real thing and its faint imitation. Children and servants need not bo told that a great blessing has fallen upon the father or mother in a house hold. Can one approach a fire with out being warmed? or open his eyes in broad daylight without being con. ecious of the presence of the sun ? One cannot bear a holy heart in his bosom without others taking "knowl edge of him that be has been with Jesus." It expresses itself in conver sation, in temper, and in household discipline; in gentleness, patience, kindness, unwcrldliness, and joy in the domestic religious exercises. uap- py is that family circle when permit ted to rejoice in the light of each a life. What a power over the suscep tible mind of childhood must it exer cise! How real, as illustrated in ench a daily exampls, does the truth read at family prayer becomel How im pressive to the members of the family who have been, heretofore, taught thft relijrion consists only in conform- of iiy to outward sacraments, ia such a constant victory over the world, the nosh, and the devil! A holy life can be carried where the sermon and nraver-ineeting never go. It is tract noon the divine life which may be distributed without offense in any place and before any company, and whatever may be tne eenumema w thn persons present, er their pursuits, if will be road with interest and not without profit. The Christian Church is suffering for want of holy life power. The daily life of Christians is not what it should be. Too often it drives men from the Saviour rather than draws tkem to him. For this God holds us i-esconsible. We are not holy, simply because we will not avail ourselves o: the provisions of Grace. Out of su a heart and life as ours, if he is per- mitied to come in, Christ can mae a life and a river of salvation. Will we admit him ? From our agents and subscribers m aU parts of the State, we receive com .-M-.u of defective postal arrange n.P'-.'s and assurances that if there a,.r. iter mail facilities, our circu ,htKm ..ir 1. mol it.iea COUid 03 I ir'nt.v lacreusou. w j the cases, it is the fault of the poo pie th-uives, who are to be benefitted by increased facilities. They content themselves with compiamis, nt cr-Try their grievances and wants to the proper source. They perhaps mention the matter to their represen tee ia Congress, who soon forgets the matter, or if he brings it to the at tention of the Postmaster General, cither contents himself with that sim ple service, or has so little influence that his suggestion or applicatioa is of no effect. We suggest to all who are in d cf mail-routes or post- ollices, to bring the matter to the at- rf rVwl Tlinmns U. Lions: oi Suusbais the thorough going and ef ficient special agent for the P. O. De partment in North Carolina. He has tho ear cf the P. O. Department and his suggestions are cf gre.it avail. iiore-over he has tho assurauee of the higher officials that upon proper ap plication, routes will be opened and ..Tr.(i;..M Aatn.hliab.ed. There ia no Hiore prompt and efficient official than Col. Long; his duties are ardu ouo, but he is equal to them and per forms them with fidelity. We speak advisedly, for we have had occasion to observe his energy piomptness and fidelity. Through his timely inter ference which we invoked, some ugly looking mailers were investigated, and proper remedies applied, and we arc- glad, in this connection, to make public our acknowledgments of his valuable and highly appreciated ser vices. It is said that he has opened more old offices than any special agent in the South, and wo have been gratified at seeing in several exchanges Dem ocratic and Republican deserved tributes to hi 3 zeal and efficiency. Yopu Subscription has Expired. We send out, to day, bills to thosa of our subscribers whose subscription has exiired. Thus far, our old sub scribers have been prompt to renew when notified that their subscription had run oat. We shall expect the same from those of our patrons to whom we now send bills. Remember the subscription price of the Advocate ia only $2 a year when paid in ad vance, bat if payment be delayed six months, $2.50 will be the price. Our preachei'3 are requested to look after renewals, and to send us a3 many now narneB as possible. Many are only waiting for you to call atten tion to the paper, or to apply to them in person. They are accustomed to send their subscriptions through their pastor. When you fail to re mind them of it, they naturally con ciado that yoa feci but little interest in it, and they readily persuade them selves that they can very well afford to do without its weekly visits. Through your influence tho circula tion of the Advocate may be greatly in creased; and inasmuch as we send you the paper free of charge, we feel to appeal to yon for your aid, earnest co operation and unceasing effort to place it in the hands of all o::r people. Every Methodist ought to havo his own church paper. We return thanks to the managers for an invitation to attend the com mencement party complimentary to the graduating cla33 of Trinity College, N. C, on Thurday Evening, June 13th 1873. The card is of a beautiful de sign, end does credit to the taste of tho:e who had tho matter in charge. Wa will try to be present.

It is to remind you that your subscription has expired, and that you should renew at once. "PJTY TIS 'TIS TRUE" An Evangelical alliance a meeting representatives of tt-o various Christian denominations of the world, will be held in New York next October, where matters of general interest to the christian cause will bo discussed. the meeting the delegates and others pre sent should partake of the Lord's Sap per, but remembering that the Bap tists would net participate m this, the idea was abandoned. On this the New York Independent remarks: Ont of deference to the Baptists.the Evangelical Alhanco meeting in New York'next October, w.ll dispense wi h the celebration of the Jjora'a sapper at iTiv KPssion. The decision is a courte ous and proper one in view of the state of things; but oh ! tho pity of it that the cna outward badge ana sac rament of unity which our Lord left to his disciples should thus be denied fhpm when thev meet ia grand coun cil. What ceremony could be more strikin" when Germany and France, England and America unite ia enns f.ian nonnultation? what more untor tunate thon the position of a Chris- Han hndv which assumes at sucn oc casion to say to its brethren : We re 1 - -n,;fVi -rn 1 in ofllebraiim fuse to unite with yoa in celebrating this rite, because we are of opinion that voi have imperfectly performed another rite ? Upon this tho St. Louis Christian Advocate thus comments, ably, wisely and calmly: ' To our mind there is a deeper sig nificance in th3 matter than that inti mated by tho Independent. It is not that they think other denominations have imperfectly perlormeu a rite, aai that they have not performed it at all. Oar Baptist friends do not regard sprinkling or pouring as baptism in any proper sense of the word, and think that no one can lawfully partake of theLord's Sapper until they have been I baptized that is, immersed. And in Iview of the full bearing of the subject, it becomes a curious question in what sense do they meet, confer, and deliberate in the Evangelical Al liance with other denominations ? Do they regard these as Christians in re aiity, or only as Christians in name ? Do they look upon their own church es as simply exhibiting the best form of Christian organization, or do they regard them aa the only legitimate forms ? If the first, fben it seem3 rea sonable that they might look upon others aa true Christians, and as such partake of the holy stcrament with them, notwithstanding the errors they might suppose to be connected with their sj stem of organizitioa. But if the second that is, if they regard their churches as the only legitimate forms of church organization then they mast look upon them as the only true churches, and if so they are per fectly right in declining to commune with other denominations. Then another question arises: If these be the only true churches, are there any Christian people outside of these churches ? To this question a categorical answer, yea or nay, must sooner or later be given. If it be ad mitted that, under any circumstances, there be one true Christian outside of the Baptist Church, then there may be ten, or an hundred, a thousand, a million, or tens of millions, or any number whatever. Bat if nay if it is affirmed that there are no Chris tians outside these churches then the subject becomes one of greatest im portance, and it behooves us all to in" quire into it with all the earnestneBs candor, and ability we can command. To be a Christian is to embrace fully the doctrines of Christ, to imbibe his spirit, and to follow in his footsteps, and the question is narrowed down to whether this is done or can be done outside the cemmunion of the Baptist churches. If it can not, then other denominations of so-called Christians are in a lamentable condition. It it can be done, thou, with all our respect for the ministers and members cf those churches, we fail to perceive the propriety or consistency of their course ia refusing to commune with other professed Christians. This, however, is their matter and not ours, and we have no quarrel with them on the subject. THE POPE. It is expected by some that the mass that will be sung for the soul of Pope Pio Nono, whose death, is every day looked for, will be a wail as well over the fall cf papal power, which means the death of Romanism. The strip ping the papacy of temporal powsr by Victor Emmanual, was an event which marked the decline of papal influence, and foreshadowed its ultimate deitruo tion. Those who believe in prophecies May find some interest ia the fact that St. Malachy, an archbishop of Ireland, who wrote in the early part of the twelfth centnry, predicted that only one hundred and one Popes should reigh after his timo. Ho prophesied concerning the character and fate of these, each of whom was mentioned not by name, but by an epigrammatic Latin phrase which would designate his cnaracter, career or end. Many of these prophecies have been fulfilled. The one hundred and first pope is called "crux da cruce" which means "a cross from a cross," and this is supposed to mean crucial per secution from a king whoso royal em blem is a cross. Pope Pio Nono is number one hundrod and one from St. Malachy 's tinio, and he haa safTe-r ed great crosses and sorrows from Victor Emmanuel whoso emblem o authority is a crown eurmoanted by a crosB. One thing is certain, that the Car dinals are filled with anxiety lest the Papacy Bhould come to an end. We do not know that these prophecies are considered in such a serious light as to produce this anxiety, but the at titude in which Victor Emmanuel stands i? of itself sufficient to arouse the fears of the Pontifical College and Romanists generally, that a collapsa of the long sustamed papal tyranny is not far distant. RELIGIOUS WORSHIP. There is no picture more sublime ad beautiful than a congregation of devout, earnest worshipers 01 ai- miVhtv G,,1. In the place where they are accustomed weekly to meet the Great Shepherd, as the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand; after the necessary toils of tho wees are passed, and the rest and peace ol God comes down upon them, we mean devout, earnest worshipers not the fashionable. It may occur in marble fronts, under towering spires and chimes of balls, where there are carpeted isles, cushioned slips, mag- nificent chancel, frescoed ceilings ana i all that attracts the eye by its glitter I and gorgeousness, or it may occur ia the forest where all th se tnings are lacking, the worshipers, humble and poor, and their house of prayer in accord with their own plain dwell- ingi. How beautiful to see the un- pretentious, peasants clad in the new- v . ly and freshly washed garments, lead- ing their offspring into the house 01 devotion, and Sabbath after Sabbath in conjunction with fheir like-minded neighbors mingling the voice of prayer and supplication and praise. Such worshio, whether it occur in the one place or the other, eendeth up tho I flavor of fresh incense ana spreaa3 tne halo of a purifying power over all who come within the limit of its influence How vastly superior is the worship rendered from such hearts, than from thosj who, in the glitter of worldly display, pass through the manipula tions and genuflections of a hollow ritual, whether it occur in Papa! Cath- edral or Protestant Chapel. How vast the responsibility cf him who stands by lot ia the sacred desk to give shape and appointment to this loading forth of the heart conscious of great guilt, to a sincere aud humble trust ? and confidence in approach though humbi9, yet bold in the place where God displays the Bhekinah and in the newly elected form of the Urim and Thumim in the last dispensation not by breast plate, but by the flame of the burning spirit writing his ans wers of peace and solace apon the heart. Goldsmith furnishes us with a fine heart-picture of this goody man in "the Deserted village." Oar read ers will excuse an extended extract from this master fetroke of crenius which will live snd bear reputation as lorn a3 the English language in written or spoken, and the heart beats respon sive to the truthfulness of its nature. Afier a short des ription of hi3 sim ple home, he thus speaks of him : "A man be was to all t'ua countr dear, And passidg rich with furty pounds a-jour, Remote from towns ho ran his godly roo, Nor e'er had changed cor wished to chance his place. Unskillful he, to iaa or seek for power. By doctrines fashioned to the varying hour; For other aims his heart had learn'd to prize More bent to raise tho wretched than to rise. His houso was kuown to all tho vagrant train, He chid their wanderings, but relieved their pain; Tho long remembered beggar was his guest. Whose board descending swept hie aged breast; The ruined spendthrift, now no longer proud, Claimed kindred there and had his claim allowed; Tho broken soldier, kindly bade to stay, Sat by his Are and talked the night away. Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride, Add e'en his feelings leaned to virtue's side; But in his duty prompt at every call, He watched and wept, he prayed and felt for ail; And as a bird each fond endearment tries, To tempt its new-fledged offspring to the Bkies, He tried each art, reproved each duU delay, Allured to brighter worlds, and led the way, At church with meek and unaffected grace His looks adorned the venerable place; Truth from hig lips prevailed with double sway And fools who came to ecoff remained to pray. The service passed around Uie pious man, With steady zeal, each honest rustic ran; E'en children followed with oudearina wilo. And plucked his gown, to share the good man smile His ready smile a parent's warmth expressed Tbi-ir welfare pleased him and their cares distressed To them his heart, his love, his grio's were given, Put all his serious thoughts had r3ot in heaven As some tall cliff that lifts Its awful form t -.veils irom the vale and midway leaves the storm Though round its breast the roking clouds are spread Eternal sunshine setUes on its head. Contributor. The Methodist Episcopal Church proposes to celebrate the Cektexxial cr the First Methodist Asxpal Cos feresce is America, The Methodist preachers of America first assembled in annual Conference in Philadelphia 1773,and the general committee appo inted to superintend the Centennial dthecommemoraUonoftbat, recommen event by every Methodist Church in the land.on July 13, 1873. The Cele bratioa will take place in the city of Philadelphia, and the memorial exer cisea will be held in the old building in which the Conference of 1773 met It ia desired that all branches which have sprung from the original body, shall participate in the commemora tive Celebration. We have received a circular from the Committee of arrangement who propose" that the essays and addresses to be delivered on the occasion of the Annual Conferance Centennial, shall embrace an outline of tho HLtory of the Organized Methodist Church, for the Century, taking in such topics as Methodism in America before the First Annual Conference; The First Annual Conference, it3 Men and their Deeds; The First Churches; The various Conferences since formed; The Principal Historic Events; The Preaching of tho Olden Times, and the General Operations of the Church. To carry out this project the Com mitcee request the speedy co-operation of all who can m any way assist in making this Celebration worrhy of the event which it will commemorate." We attended the annual meeting of! the North Carolina Conferen ce S. S. Society, held at Charlotte last week, but returned too late to give an ac count of our tiip in this issue. Har mony and go.d feeling prevailed, the discussions were interesting and profitable, and the addresses good." In short, it was a distinguished suc cess. An extended notice will appear in our nest. Error in Minutes Explained. Bbo. Bobbitt: On page 31 the Board reports from Hillsboro District $551.07 for Missions. Ou puge 46 the Financial Lxhibit g10W8 ony $141,93. This leaves a margin of over a hundred dollars to be ged to Bro. Martin's 15.50, I pres ime the Book1 of the Mission Board give him credit for $123 00, which ho says he paid. I suppose I am responsible for part of the error. I made up a Fi- nancjai Exhibit from the Recording stewards' Reports. 3ro. Martin s Report was made in penoil mark, and did not have the He cording Steward's name. For Missions, some of the figares were not plain. I could not tell whether it meant $115,50 or $015,50. ke left hand figure was made by two -3 of the pencil. I am satisfied that it was intended for $115 50, and that this was the amount 0f j3ro. Ji.'a mission collections at the nme fog blank report was filled out. j n-esume when Bro. Martin ap pr0ached the Treasurer's desk to hand ia bis Mission money, he concluded to make it even $120,00, by adding $1,50 out of his own pocket. He has done many things like that 1 tnow other ministers wno pay m more money than they collect. Yours &o.f A. D. Betts. P. S. Please tell us through the Advo cate, where we can obtain more copies of these minutes. Tell us again , to whom shall we Bond the money an how much ? The Printer ought to be id without delay, when he has done his work so wall. A. D. B. Copies of the minutes can be order ed of Dr. Craven at 25 cents pe COpy. iliDITOK. Dear Bbo. Bobbitt: I am obliged to you and Bro. Martin for calling my attention ty the Missionary report i the published minutes. The whole report is a mass of con fusion and inaccuracy. I had not noticed the report as in the minutes, until my attention was called to it by Bro. Martin's card. I really cannot see how such confusion could nave been made in this report un less my figures were unintelligible to those who copied the report for the minutes. If tbore wore one or two in accuracies, I might think they were mistakes in my figures; but the pub lished report abounds in mistakes. Ou my Conference rough, Bro. Martin and his circuit are credited with $115 50. Ou tho last night of the Conference I think, (but aftwr my report was prepared for our anniver sary) Bro. Martin handed me $5.00, requesting me to incorporate it in his report, which I did, making the alter- ation with a penoii at the tin J as it stands on my report before me. Cred iting him and his circuit with $120.50, Hillsboro District foots up on my re port $540.07. On page 31 of publish ed Minutes, the amount is 551.07. On page 17 that District foots up 433.23, but the figures in the column only make $403.23. I can't be held responsible for this confusion. In other districts, the confusion is worso. As early as I can I will prepare my report and send you for publication in the Advocate, which I hope yoa will do me the jus tice and kindness to publish. I hope the brethren who are incorrectly re ported in published Minutes, will wait for my roport. Please insert the above card in your next issue and murfi oblige your brother, Lexmon Shell, Mocks ville, April 20 ;h. TO HELP SMALL SUXOAY SCHOOLS. Many brethren haye said to us: We want the Uniform Lessons, but are not able to take ten Magazines. If you will only send tho Lesson Papers with P"e.,aZ':nf;S' WecaUrai3e fche mn" ey.' This seems reasonable and we now propoc this: When as many aa five Magazines, are sent to one address, we will send six Lesson Papers with each Magazine. Thus: $5.00 wiil pay for five Maga zines and 30 Lesson Papers for one year; $2.50 will pay for them for six months. In response to my call for "names and post-offices" last winter we havo received many answers and wo have sent out more than fifteen hundred specimens. The increase in our subscription lists has been so ?Iom& anf ?ar May i89nes have run short, although we printed a large extra edition. We will have enough next time. Now let us hear from the small schools. Atticcs G. Hayoood, S. S. Secretary. Nashville, may 3, 1873. THE LUTHERAN SYNOD OF N C. AXD THE BIBLE CAUSE.

The question of a witer supply for the city ought to be agitated. The need of water nas been sadly felt at the fires Wat nave occurred ia the city heretofore. We unaerstana iui some one who has experlenoe in such matters, nrnnnspa for $50,000 to build a reservoir at the Caoitol and supply the necessary pipes. This ought te bo considered, and if feasible, accepted. There would doubties3 ue asaviug of that amount of private property in the next five years. Messrs. Gulley & Green have enclosed about nine acres of land npon which they intend to establish a heanery for the production of eggs, improved chickens and domestic fowls or ai i kinds. Pio-Nio. On last Friday the Sunday school of Edenton Street Methodist Church enjoyed an excursion to Kittrell's Springs, where to gether with invited guests, they pic-nickod o their hearts' content. Thursday had been s-t apart as the day for the pic nic, but Old Prob- abi'.it ies predicted rain, and rain u am w an extent that precluded excurting" and pic nicking on dry land. But on Friday ne hearts ol those who had pinned their faith to Old Prob., were cheered by his predictions and made gladder still by the sunhm.i thu lollowed. Nine or teu coaches had been ohartered which were closely packed by the eight hundred and eighty-seven people(wilh eix or eight fractions,) who were on pleasure bent Falling into procesdion at luttrell s Depot t&ey wers jeined by friends from other local ities and marched to the Springs where they were received with opon-armed hospaUlity by Maj. Blacknall, who had offered and now yielded the houses, grounds aid ail and sing' ular, the appurtenances thereunto belonging. or the enjoyment of the largo concourse ol visitors. We will not undertake to describe the happy scenes that were enacted on that day. Everything was done that is usually done on 6uch oocasions. Pleasure was the order ot the dy and joy wa3 unconflued- The pretty grounds were filled with prettier groups in whose midst nothing unpleasant came. In the large hull of the hotel a crowd gathered to listen to the strains of music that came Irom henrts fall of joy and throats full cf raulody. S?peochss were made by Rev. A. W. Mangnai, wh if m a normal condition when ho is eloq'ieat and felicitous, and by the writer, who wal fjl j wed by Mr. Joseph Creech. Mr. Creech, though a young man po.sses.se.- eloquence of speech and action,and his rui ' k were greeted with continued and dessrved ap plause. Dinner was announced aud despatched, Bu t the allernoon spent in auiiiiseineiita and pleas ures of various kinds. Beforo vacating ta? beautiful ground aud buildings, the Sunday sehoolandall concerned, at the instance ot Rev. Mr. liaugum, passed vote of thanks to the Messrs. Blacknall for their kind uii'l hospitable offer of the premises. The traiu re turned to Raleigh at 7 o'clock, nothing having occurred during the day to endanger, a (night or annoy the hundreds who had joined the ex cursion. To the efficient Chief Marshal, Mr. Kobt. Best and his corps of assistants is due the lack of contusion, and much of the pleasure that attended the day. Memorial Day" was celebrated on lubt Saturday at the beautiful "Oak Wood Ceme tery." A large procession, led by the Cornet Band, moved from the City to the Cemetery, where, after a prayer by Rev. A. W. Mangum, the orator of the occasion, Col. W. F. Green, ol Franklin, was introduced in happy style by Mr W. A. Bledsoe. The address was ot su perior merit eloquent and touching, recall ing the glorious memories that embalm our noble Southern dead, while it contained some important statistical information with regard to the forces employed by the North and South in the late struggle. Olive Logan iMrs. 5ykes) the distiiigui-tbud female lecturer of the Nurth, appeared at Tucker Hall on last Thursday, Friday aud Saturday nights, and lectured on "Girls," "The Passions"-md "Successful People." She was well received, a laige audience being present at every lecture. She is a lecturer ol remarkable talent, and quickly conquers the prejudice thit one entertains against tho ap pea ranee of females upon the lyeeum. The subject matter of her lectures was good, sen sible and practical seasoned, with occasional bits of wit and fancy. While she may be clanssd perhaps among "strong minded women of strong minded views," yet she presents her views in such a pleasing way that they fail to excite tho dis gust that usually attaches to such doctrines before a Southern audienoe. Her elocution is almost perfect voice and feature under fine control, while her gesticulation reveals in its extreme grace and beauty ,the thorough train. ing of the stage. STATE NEWS. Maj . Ii. W. York of Chatham has been e lected, and has consented, to deliver the An nual Address before the students of Sylvan High Sehool. Maj. York's well known repu tation as a seuolar ana orator will insure an interesting and instructive address on tho oc casion. Mr. Henry Andrews,an aged citizen of Hills boro, while engaged in covering a house slipped and fell from the roof to the ground, sustaining serious injuries. A young horse belonging to Mr. Ward of Hillsboro, while disporting himsell in a vacant lot, jumped into an open well was killed. Mr. Wm.

Frizzell (Conservative) has been elected Mayor of Fayettevillo. The Independent candidates for commissioners,allConservativeB were eleoted. The Friend of Temperance of this city bas been adopted as the organ of the State Coun cil of the Friend of Temperance for South Carolina. Professor Kerr has been urged by the press of the State and by private le.ters to attend the Vienna Exposition. He will probably at tend and look to the generosity of the Legis lature tor a reinbursement of his expenses. The Asheville Citizen anticipates a great crowd in Asheville next summer.
