After going through the Museum and Experiment Station, (corner of Edenton and Halifax streets) you might visit the STATE LIBRARY. on the corner of- Edenton and Sal;a bury streets, where Mr J C Birdsong will be found, who takes great pleas ure in having visitors call in the Li brary, and show them through the rooms, where the thousands of books ranging in value from 50c to $1,000 per volume can be found, also por traits, old manuscripts, map oi the Gettysburg battle, showing the posi tion of troops on each day, newspa pers from eyery section of the Statp, magazines, etc, and should you have time for reading, histories, travels, biographies, theology, science, and fiction are at your disposal that will enable the visitor to pass away the time. By the ay the number of visitors to this institution has in creased a hundred fold in the 1 et few years, and the Librarian has time for little else than serye those who come to read and see the rooms. Leaving the Library you go northwe t two squares and you arrive at the en trance of the INSTITUTION FOR THE DEAF, DUMB AND THE BLIND. on the corner of McDowell and Jones streets, where you will find the oblig ingSupenntendent, W J Toung,ready - to receive, 6how the visitor through the building, and should you get there during recitation hours.you will find it entertaining and instructive in witnessing the mode of instruction provided by our State for those un fortunate girls and boys, and how eagerly they seek and how rapidly they learn the sign language. Then as you go east you will reach the COTTON PLATFORM, where you will find, the Compress at work, and the large bale of cotton is taken and compressed into one third its original size, and so proficient are the employees that every minute a bale goes through the press and ready for shipment. Continuing your walk you soon arrive at the CONFEDERATE CEMETERY, where sleep the remains of the gal lant Confederate Soldiers of North Carolina, who laid down their lives' X 1 WATER WORKS, where you w 11 be much interested in viewing the massive machinery at work that suplies our city with water for all purposes. Leaving here the horses are turned in westward course and soon you enter the grounds of the INSANE ASYLUM, where you will find Dr. Wood, the kind, courteous head of this institu tion, who takes great pleasure in showing visitors through the building provided by the State for the care of this unfortunate class of our citizen's. Ton will greatly enjoy this visit, find ing everything neat and clean, and leaving you will wonder how it is possible to keep everything in such good oraer with so many , afflicted people to look after. The next place of interest you reach is PULLEN PARK After ridisg through this once bar ren field, you are surprised how soon such a place ran be transformed into such a beautiful place, and what one sees now is nothing to what it will be soon under the master-hand of Mr. Pullen, who so generously donated the site to the city. Enter ing the park on the east, after driving through the well-laid out drives, you stop in front of the AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE, where you place yourself under the charge of President Holladay, who will conduct you through the Horti cultural, Agricultural and Mechani cal departments, where the boys of our State are fitted to become useful men when they arrive to manhood, capab'e of filling every position in life. Continuing your ride north ward, you reach in a few minutes the extensive DAIRY FARM of Dr. Lewis, where you will find one of the best-kept dairies in the coun try, and not excelled by any in New York State, and his herd of fine cows are certainly beauties, as they are seen nipping the grass and clover which abound on the farm. After witnessing these things, you resume your journey and soon reach the STOCK FARM of Capt. B. P. Williamson. This is yet in its infancy, but Capt. William son spares neither trouble or expense, and he is amply rewarded in knowing that no stock farm of Kentucky sur passes his. The fine stock which Capt. W. will exhibit at our next State Fair will be the envy of every one. Already several fine colts ae in the hands of that master trainer, Mr. J. P. Scott, and as they step around the track you can see that he is no novice but a master-hand holds the ribbonB. After looking into the stables, feed-rooms and the different runs for colts, horses, etc., you re sume your seat, and soon reach the Capitol Square, where you dismiss your driver ; placing yourself in the hands of Capt. Roberts, you Boon enter the halls of the Senate and House of Representatives, where yon BROUGBTON J CO, Real Estate Agents, RALEIGH. N C.
