The Baptist University
By general consent it was decided
at the recent Baptist State Convert
tion, that the Female University o'
the denomination ought to be locat
ed In Raleigh. This, is from every
standpoint right and proper, because
oar city offers such inducements as
can hardly be found in any other
portion of North Carolina. We hope,
therefore, thsfc a new impetus will be
given to the matter, and that before
long the institution may be in a fair
way to commence.

Chamber of Commerce.
There was a fair attendance at the
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
last night, and an interchange of
views took place relative to the mat
ters presented for consideration. The
subject of an extension of the corpo
rate limits of Raleigh underwent much
discussion resulting in a decision
that the movement was inexpedient
at this time. The question of making
application to the legislature for
power to issue bond to the amount
of $50 001 was widely discussed and
defacted by a but all vote.
The Board urged the t-xtunsion of
Morgan street.
Death of Capt. London.
The death of this g utWuan, who
is so well known in Rtleigh, and
throughout N. Carolina, took place
recently at Birmingham Ala. of
pneumonia. The following from the
Wilmington Messenger will be of in
terest to his many friends. He en
tered the United States Military
Academy at West Point in 1869, and
in 1873 he graduated with distinction,
being commissioned as second lien
tenant of the Fifth Cavalry. He was
assigned with that command to ser
vice at the West, and was an active
participant in several wars on the
frontier. For gallant and merito
riaus conduct he was breveted first
lieutenant. Soon afterwards he was
promoted to captain and served with
his command up to a couple of years
ago, when he was detailed on recruit
log service in Philadelphia and New
York. Capt. London aboat two
months ago was assigned to the com
mand o' a company in the Fifth
Cavalry and was granted leave of
absence until February. About six
weeks ago, some time in November,
he was here on a visit to his father,
and from here he went to Birming
ham cn a v'.sit to his brothers,
Messrs A T. and John London.

Our Insaurt.
In thj report of the Attorney Gen

there were eleven prisoners that be
ca i' insane after being sent to conn
ty jails. The report does not of
course, ttat whether these persons
become ks-iue from being incarcera

was the result of crimes committed.
In either event, it is a rather bad
showing, especially as it is knowu

People We've Met.
A woman's enters Swindell's store,
Stepj to a clerk who stands near the door,
Asks him to show her the latest style,
And she pulls over the goods meanwhile.
Says she: "I want a dress for my niece;
Will you please show me that under piece?
Oh! 1 d dn't fee it was a polka spot;
That is too iear the one she's got.
That piece with stripe would just suit me,
It's just as pretty as it can be;
But she wants so lethlng better to be sure,
With a sort of vein running through.
She don't want too daric nor yet too light,
Not a striped piece, nor yet very bright.
I think she'd like what you showed me last.
But do you think the colors are fast?
Cut off a sample before 1 decide,
I'll take houce a piece and have it tried.
I han a dress like this last fall,
And the coloi s did not wash at all
I like those patterns there on the end,
I'll take a few samples for a friend.
Sow one off this if you'll be so kind,
And one off i his if vou do not mind.
They're the nicest styles f've seen this year.
I most always do my trading here;
I've got a piece that came from here.
I ve forgot the price 'twas pretty dear
It's sort of d rk, plain gray.
Do you think you hay? it along this way.
The dress is spoiled if I can't get more.
Label these samples with a bill,
I'll know where I got them if vou will.
I'll take them home; if she thinks they'll do !
You'llseeme backinaday ortwo."
