Young, schollarly,1 bright; fluent, his writings sparkle with wit, thrill with enthusiasm, 'arid abound with splendid logic. He stands up at the head, and North Car olina can ill afford to part with him. He goes to Baltimore to engage injthe newspaper work. The Indians have been "trip ping the light fantastic" in the f 'ghost dance." The 3Iorgan ton Jlerald thinks it probable that the Indians are just cele brating the recent' Democratic victory, and are not desirous of white scalps. It is more prob able however that they are in copartnership with the Repub licans, and are simply "dancing the ghost Idance'' over the ghost of their former greatness, just as a matter of convenience and pass time I f ' ; LOCAL DOTS.
