as this, was to interest tlis students

i nest ionublc whether or not these
great improvements have been h"ii
elicial to the people generally. Fitly
years ago lliere were ai least a dozen
tailor shops in Itulcigh anil not less
than half that number of reach and
buggy shops. A northern made suit
of clothes was rare a sight, and at
traded a'inost us much, attention as
the clown of a circus. A northern
buggy or wagon was unknown to
our streets. Our shoes anil boots
were made at home and the only shoes
brought from a distance were the
slubtoed brogins manufactured in
the state penitentiary at Kichmoiiil,
Va., and a few line shoes for ladies.

IVrha)S 1 should have earlier
mentioned the name of thai good
man Dr Mason, for many years n c
'.or of Christ chinch. Those ho
remember him will leadily agree
with me in my estimation of him.
He was a man of profound learning
His devotion to the interests of li s
church, his simplicity and his in
tensity of feeling had made him v. i
iibsent-niinded. and many food j ikes
have been told at his expense No
one enj iyed these j ikes more than
himself, and often in telling a good
.me on himself he would forget what
he was talk inn about and commit a
greater blunder than the ope he was
tryinjf to explain. He laughed
heartily at his owm absent-mindedness

devout Christians than Dr Mason.
The f"Ood work he did in Raleigh
will be felt f r many generations

men, cxtieiiiC'V so, aud no one rea
lized it mine than themselves, or
enjiytd jokes at their expense bet

years ago of a countryman who
wanted to see Mr Primrose, koine
one told him to walk down Kayettn
vihe street, look into the stores
and the ugliest man he f aind would
be that gentleman. Passing a'ong
he saw Mr Towles and at once
greeted him as "M r Primrose. " "Ah
no," said Mr Towles, who had be
come accustomed to jokes of that
kind. "Do you see thai building just
aceross the street," pointing to. Mr
Lougee's sleiii across the way, "Go

over, and meeting Mr. fjoiigec-grei-t-ed
him as "Mr. Primrose." Mr

told the man where the object of h s

went, and on entering he met Mr.
Primrose near the door. Without
greeting him, but look in steadfastly
at the good man, he exclaimed,
"Well, I'll bedadblamed if I haven't

jokt's told at th expense of these
good men more than themselves.
Harry Keitu was a pony old

unfreiiieutly he indulged freely in
his irvu wet groceries, and when ad
inouished by his friends that he
should not do so, he always excused
himself by saying, "It is my birth

h'lfty years au'o, the Raleigh and

road runing iulo Kuleigh. One Would
leave here at 7 o'cJock a inaml reach

i ii 4. Stages ran from Raleigh to
Ka et tevi lie, to Tarboro, and to
t i reenslioro There was nothing so
sweet to the ears of the younga-the
stage horn As the stage, tlat
ancient vehicle of conveyance, ap
pioachtd the city the sound of the
"bugle" was heard in the distance.
The horn of the hunters in the
great Knglish reserves had no
sweeter sound. The coming of a
nobleman from t he old country would
not no create more excitement or
enthusiasm than the "coining in of
the stage" of years ago. The stage
driver of thone days was a great
man. He was a lion when in town,
an oracle, a man of learning, a power
among his fellows, and all the other
fellows too.
What would one now think of
news from Greensboro sixty hours
old; from Kayetterille forty-eight
hours old; and from Tarboro not less
than forty hours oli. Such, how
ever was the condition of affairs at
that time.

Career as an actor, aiui.it Ih ' same
time most deseiifl. occurred in
J tine, 1S'J when full's Coii-ge.
Cambridge, prcsen'ed the actor wi h
the honorary degree of Master, of
Arts. It was most des. rved from
the f.tCi that Oiis Skinner is one if
the deepest sludenfs in ho drama1 ic
profession and he lias done a very
great deal for the stage upon .vliu li
he is so shining a light. Only la t
summer Mr. Skinner restored the
acting version of "Richard III to
the crigiua1 text, and this, in addi
tion to all of his other duties. Thcie
have been but two actors who have
been honored with honorary degrees
by any of our institutions of learn
ing, the other being Joseph Jellers
sju, but Mr. Skinner was the lirst
actor to be honored, .for his degree
antedates that of Mr. Jefferson by
some time. Otis Skinner will, if is
announced, present his new roman
tic ccmcdy. "Prince Kutlo'ph," next
Wednesday nifht, January l!l h, at
Metropolitan ( pera House. The en
gagement of so distinguished an ac
tor, especially when the greatest
dramatic writers in the country all
agree that he is the best delineator
of the romantic and SnaKcspearean
drama which our stage possesses,
should crowd the theater. The play
which Mr. Skinner will present is
most delightful, telling a charmingly
romantic story, with situations and
climaxes drnmatic enough to suit the
most captious. His compauy is re
ported to be a very large nd well
balanced. organiatlon.
