It is not possible for all men to agree on any subject, tne tenets or which are not self evident: and yet men seem frequently incapable of tolerating disagreement. This intol erance of the unavoidable is the basal irretant in human affairs, and the man who expects everybody to agree with him, and Bets down all who do not as enemies, is the most unfortu nate of all men. He is apt to become soured with his surroundings, and is just fit for a hermitage, There is nothing in the affairs of men so in tolerable as intolerance. A Fox Killer. The Wilmington Star of Sunday says: "Lumber," a very fine fox hound has been presented to the Wilming ton Pox Club by Mr. William Boy lan Jr., of Raleigh. The "Boylan pack" is known all over North Carolina, so the donor will be believed in what he says in tun following letter to Capt Phil Thomae: "Am now breeding to his father 13 years old; lias run twelve seasons and been at the death of between 475 and 500 foxes VVe went hunting last Sat uxday in tne rain and caught3 foxes between 9 and i o'clock.
