Mi- liary Manly is chairman of the committee who hart charge of thia de partment. There is a rirh display of embroidery work, in which is some of almost erery kind, drawn linen work, and outlining. There ia a beautiful splasher and wash stand mat; some hand-made baby dresses, which de serves special notice; a mat knit from fibre of aloe and crocheted, which is intereeting and really unique; a home made chair (the "Avery"), which hav ing been handsomely upholstered with Sean!, embroidered, novel and ele gant; beautiful silk patch-work quilta; nsnnel embroidery; very handsome baby cap, of merino embroidered with silk; table i quarts outlined in silk and also drawn linen ones; sofa pillows, one worked with gold beads very pretty; a very hnridaotne table cover; a great variety of hacd embroidery on linen; and some genuine Madras work from India. The drawn linen work was beautiful; the embroidery on silk bolt in cloth was exquisitely done, and the outlining could hardly be exoelled. Is writing up these department we oin make no fairer comment than to quote the opinions of visiting ladies who know how to judge of the merits of such things. They say that they have never seen a finer display of needle work. There is also in this department an infant's dreea, made entirely by hand by a lady 73 years old. It is exquisitely embroidered. PAHSTINQ AND HOME DECORATIONS In the south tnd of the hall on the third floor is an attractive exhibit of painting and decorative work, by Miss B. Enelaud. of Asheville. There i a great variety of home decorations There ia brocade enameled, which is beautiful: embossed paintings; Dresden work; China painting and glass decora tions. The decorations 'consist of moat any article from cloth to a pleo of lace. The exhibit is altogether interest ing. ' Mr. England also exhibit) team evaporator for drying frail and vegetables, and in the mechanical de partment a "wagon jack." Included in thia exhibit is some re markable specimens of bracket work by a gentleman who Uvea in the country, not far from rhi city, whos name w could not learn. There are three piece a match case, a frame for a clock and a bracket, which were sawed out with a fret saw. They are gems of ingenuity and mast be teen to be ap preciated. .VSCKIXaJiEOUS D1FABTMXNT. Oa the second floor, north aide of tb passage way, we found the display of oar enterprising townsman W. H Oliver, who offers insurance on nearly all insurable sub j9cts except matrimony and under very favorable ciroumttances might be induced to take a risk even on that. Next we found the largest fruit grower in North Carolina, Dr. Q. K. Foust of Alamance county. He ex hibits a fine line of canoed tomatoes, peaches, pearr, berries, apricot, nec tarines etc, all of bis own growing, canning and preparing. The doctor was one of the most successful com petitors for premiums at the fruit fair last summer and received the greatest number of awards of any exhibitor. He is from near Graham where many of our townspeople refuged dnring the war. . Then we found an exhibit of archi tectural drawings by our young towns man Herbert Simpson. Next we came to the coffee exhibit of air. John Dunn. He had every. variety, tempting to the eye and doubtless to the taste when properly manipulated. A huge coffee mill stood guard and in readiness for use whenever called upon. Near tbU was an elaborate display of shoes by J. A. Patterson. Everything adapted to foot wear and foot comfort seemed to be here arranged in a moat attractive style. A floe home made dek theu came in for notice. It was oiad by J. C. Hay of Kinstjn and wull worthy of a favorable mention. Then we found an interesting ditplay of articles in the interior deorative line exhibited by Meears. E. EL Dewe; & Co., frole agents for North Carolinn of the A.rner Interior Deooraiinc Com pany.

Betides these his display of glass and fancy ware was very fine. The exhibit of John Suter, furniture dealer was superb. Fine desk, bed steads, chairs, work basket, baby carriages. And everything suitable to housekeeping in the line of comfort or luxury. Here we descended to the basement where in the northwest corner we found an excellent display of seed peas, beans, oats, rye, rice, wheat and other seeds by S. W. &, E. W Small wood. Also hay and ground eed Here too were some beautiful colard and cabbages exhibited by Mr. G. D, Bow den. These were of the largest proportions and moat beautiful colors Also a large lot of sacks of flour offered aa premiums by Meetrt. Wm. Powell & Co. FLORAL HALL On the second floor f the main building, in the southeast corner, ia "Floral Hall." Here we found a' most beautiful display of nature's handi work. The walls of the room are taste fully decorated with evergreen and flowrs and all ayailable space is occupied by flowers, flowers, flowers. On the wall opposite to the door are the words 'Floral Hall." in large letters, ingeni ously made of holly berries and box. On every side, arranged in artistic order, are sweet smelling bouquets of the rsrest and most carefully selected flowers a magnificent one from Kins ton; a great variety of geraniums, hy aoiatha, primroses, calls lilies ("Solo mon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like these"); lemon trees with the fruit hanging upon them; an orange tree, with its golden fruit to delight the visitor's eye There ii a bos of woods flowers from Miss Lucy Duffy, of Catharine Lake, which is much ad mired.

Cen tenary plant; ether rery handsome ruitio stands of' flowers There are so many different kinds that the reporter will not attempt ta name them. There j were more than fifty different names We must say tha this exhibit is not surpassed in real loveliness by anything in the building Mies O.ivia Mettt, chairman of ilie Floral committee, as auted by other members of the com' mittee Dreg ides. No one should mies this room. FABM AND GARDEN PRODUCTS. In the two rooms on the south side, on the first flxr, is an interesting ex hibit of farm and garden produota. In the oentr of each room ia a mound of corn, (pumpkica, potatoes, rutabagas, cabbage, etc. In one room the mound of vegetable is topped off with a large buoketof peas on one aide, a stand of tomato plant in the middle and a bucket of oats on the other side. Placed on shelves aroond the rooms; are ex hibit of the fines! Irish potatoes, ruta bagas, sweet potatoes, turnips, corn, peas, ground pear, etc., etc., we ever saw. There ia an exhibit of 125 samples of marl from Jones, Crayen, Lenoir, Pitt and Onslow counties; a display of very ' fine hams: bundles of hay of very fine quality; shuck mat, etc. A sample of most any eatable vegetable grown in Eastern North Carolina may be seen. There it also in this department a patent truok barrel, made in three dif ferent sises, exhibited by Dr. H. D. Harper and S. H. Loft in, of Kinaton, which w thnk ia the best thing of the kind we ever saw There is also an excellent fruit and vegetable crate by Bailey Webb, of Einston. for whioh a patent is pending There is a specimen of iron Ore, which was excavated about 20 years ago from three feat below the surface while digging a ditch oa the lands of David P. Lee. in Pamlloo county ore of this quality abounds in that section. There ia a patented friction cburn, by Mr. Geo. B. Webb, of Einstoo, which is a simple bat unique arrangement. There ia also exhibit of skins coon, deer, fox. squirrel, mink, etc. Also a skeleton of a wild boar's head ; stalks of cotton full of open bolls; cotton seed; sample cf can syrup; basket of aweet gum con tain in a four pounds; a basket of garden peas from Mr. Tbomia 0ena, of Beau fort, which were planted November 20 and picked January 25, this being the second picking; and many other inter esting exhibits. MACHINERY HALL Entering this department we were struck with the enormous display of machinsry, tools, agricultural imple ments and mill machinery exhibited by Messrs. Whitty & Gates, of this city belt, lace leather, cant hooks, briar hooka, pump, bam, single trees, grub hoe and saws of almost every descrip tion from lire tiny key hole saw to the largest circular saws, not omitting the hand and croes-cut saws of latest im provement. Blacksmith's tools were not neglected, and anvils, vices were there. Thia, added to their enormous collec tion of harrows, cultivators, feed cut ters, grain fans, cotton planters, plows, etc. , made up the largest display in the grounds. Near this was the exhibit of our townsman L. H. Cutler. He has a mass of useful house keeping articlea and builders' material. Beginning with the bread tray he has some as fine as ever ornamented the aide of an Edgecombe county kitchen in the palmiest days of that noted county. He excelled also in a display of fine ranges, heaters, door knoba, pulls and bells, abot guna and mechanics' tools. Also a handsome ex hibit of various colored paints. In thia nnighborhood was the exhibit of J. H. Crabtree & Co., whose engines, lathes and bage circular saws made one feel like standing further or get sawed. There were some of the largest circular aws that we ever saw. is ear nere was an interesting inven tion exhibited by Mr. James AUtn, of Wilmington an automatiocar ccupler, which seems to be a good arrangement, and will doubtless take place gracefully in the long line of patented car couplers of the country. Major A. R. Denaison shows a com plete sample of the manipulations of ootton seed, cotton seed oil, cotton seed meal and ootton seed oil cake, all in elligently labeled that all might under stand. He also shows the turpentine from the tree to the barrel, and the implements from the axe that cuts the box to the scraper and dipper, bucket aad box used iu its dipping out. A genuine tar kiln was established on yesterday and proved an interesting affair. The 8. H. Gray Manufacturing Com pany have a fine display of their plates and dishes. Abram Lee exhibited some magnifi cent specimens of native woods, among them holly, ask, pine, cedar, dogwood, gum: These specimens were elegantly prepared aad reflected credit on the exhibitors. A, hay press near by was exhibited by Messrs. Butt & Bell, seemed to be of home manufacture and invention. Mr. W. T. Gilehrist was offering a fine line of veterniary article and instru ments for the treatment of horses. Geo. D. Dale was exhibiting a minia ture engine, and Mr. F. F. Cherry, of Aurora, has a col ton planter which plant cotton, corn and other grain with equal readiness and precision. NATIVE WOODS, The woods of Eastern North Carolina have beeD long neglected except in the oase of pine, cypress and juniper; but the time has oome when the other vari eties will attract attention, and no doubt prove as profitable to the lumber men as have any of those which have been hitherto in use. In the exhibition of Mr. Abram Lee, in Machinery Mall, mere are some notably fine specimens of holly, gum dogwood, cedar, ash and poplar, that show a remarkable quality for taking a polish, which is an important feature in manufacturing furnitures etc. ft the room with the farm productp. Rev. Edward Bull has a? large tini re markable exhibit of native aud other woods. There are about Seventy differ ent hinds to be seen. They have been carefully collected by Mr. Bull, and he has spent no little time fa getting them. For some pieces he tramped several miles. They am nicely prepared. The pieces are uniform in size, being about six inches ia length and twelve to thir teen inches in circumAsrrnce. There is a piece of papaw, for whioh he went nine miles. There are aix varieties bf native oak. Mr. Ball takes great inter eat in such things and deserves credit for thia interesting exhibit. BEAUFORT COUNTY. Here we come to one of the moat charming retreata at the, fair. Tbefirst thing that striken the eye, is the Wash ington Gszette office, octagonal in ah pe, pagoda like, and built entirely of copies of the Gazette. Over the door is a pair of beautifully polished ox horns with a picture of the editor holding a Gazstte appearing just below the horns. Above the room is an old fashioned bread tray, with the Gazatte sign inside. The in terior of the office is decorated with boquets of grasses, quaint furniture, stationery, curios etc, and is quite a resort for the boys and girls, as well as older persons, desiring a moment's rest or a tete-a-tete. The BeauTort county room has not a crowded exhibit, but has something of excellence in almost every branch of industry, scienoe and art. There is an elaborate collection of grasses, a varied and beautiful display of fern-pictures, lady's fancy work and decorative art by three sitters; rice bulling, manufacture of balutters. spools, shuttle blocks, tray a, tubs, har nesses, plows, all have representatives of the highest order in this little world of industry, map-drawing, point and houiton lace, spotter work, crazy work, crayon work and commercial college balance sheets, atfd a thousand other things, add beauty to the walls and nooks and corners. A map of Washing ton today, curios of her past, and indi cations of her future prosperity are all shown here. Musio and flowers are not even lacking, and those who desire to whiff the weed that Raleigh taught his gallants to smoke iu capacious bonds may be gratified. It is a very creditable exhibit to Beaufort county, a nd if she does not win the $50 prize will be close to the victor. Mr. H. A Latham, editor of the Gazjtte, designed and col lected the exhibit and hank in charge, j MISCELLANEOUS. EXHIBiTS Mf. C T. Randolph, manufacurer, of thia city, has on the grounds an exhibit of buggies, etc. There are open and top buggies, carriages, and ladies' pbw.ons. They are the prettiest wo ever saw, of the very latest style and well put up. Mr. Randolph obtained the premium on bug'.ies at the last Goldsboro Fair. Henry Miller fc Co., of Goldtboro, exhibit, in the Beaufort county room, the celebrated I vers & Pond pianos, manufactured at Boaton. They show a style of "S" of this make iu old Spanish mahogany; that for beauty of finish, purity of tone and general good quali ties, we think excels anything shown at previous Fairs. This piano has five patented improvements key bottom, key bottom support, music rack, soft stop and wriat plank. The Ellis Carriage Manufacturing Company, of Kinston, have buggies on exhibition. Tbey are neat and ap parently very durable. THE POULTRY DEPARTMENT. Entering this department we landed where our pilgrim fathers did, at Plymouth Rock. They found but one, but we discovered a trio of as fine a specimen of Plymouth Rock chickens as we have seen. Also another trio of Partridge Cochins, Langshanga, Brown Leghorns, WyandotU, White Manorkas, and Brabmas. Also a quartette of Houdans and a family of Bantoma, ten of whom have arrived in the world since the beginning of the present Ex poeition. Then a splendid coop of Muscovy ducka, Puddle ducks, Pekin ducks, each claim attention and ad miration. And a combination of the U6eful and ornamental in a coop of pea fowls, and geuuine tamo wild geeee greet you, together with some very fine native cross. Game Ban torn chickens and a huge turkey gobler weigLiog 35 pounds, all the exhibit of our towns man Ralph Gray. Mr. W. H. Bray has on exhibition three coops each Of elegant Plymouth Rocks, Buff Cochins and Toulouse geese, Imperial Pekin ducka and as fine a specimen of bronze turkeys as a Christmas dinner could demand. He has also some eggs that are attractive in appearance and huge in size. Messrs. Wood Bros., of River View, show eome fine specimens of fowls. They have four coops of beautiful Buff Cochins, one each of Pekin Bantoms and White Leghorns. Mr. John W. Small wood shows a fine exhibit of Cochins, Game, native Houdan, Ban torn, Langshang, Plymouth Rock, native Frizzly, half Bantom, white and native, turkeys. Also some Guinea fowls, Muscovy, Puddle and Pekin ducka. Mr. J. L. Rhem exhibits a fine lot of duoks and turkeys. And Mrs. Willet a pair of large white turkeys, and also a brood of young ones of the same species. Besides the above, there was a number of exhibits but we could not obtain the names of exhibitors. They were of the same varieties of those already named, except some Black Game, Dusty Miller, Brahmas and Frizzle chickens. CATTLE. Among the horned cattle there was some magnificent specimens. Messrs. Hackburn & Willet had, two bulla, full blood Uolsteins; three heifers of the same stock, which gie as high as five gallons of mik per day, and ten graded stock of Holstein, Jersey and Ay shire of extraordinary milking qualities. They have a pen of nine beautiful calves; of ttuse throe are full blood Holstein and aix of other fine breed. They have ten fine native calves. They have a fine yoke of oxan which will tip the beam at figure) very near to two tons. Hogs Of hoga thoy showed a pen of fine Poland China pigs seven monthj old which looked at least two years in sizs. A fine brood sow and a pen of six fat hogs now ready for the butcher's use. There wi r some oiher hogs that we could not K r of the owner, but no doubt the juJgej when thry went around found them. Mr. J. L. Rhem exhibited some ele gant milch cowa, and a calf a year old, which was extremely large for its age. Here again the awarding committee was ahead of us and no doubt duly con sidered the merits of each and every exhibit. A COLLECTION- OF BIRDS In the fish, oyster and game depart ment there ia a large and very intereet ing collection of birda, domestic and foreign, exhibited by Mr. A. Dughi, bird fancier, of Raleigh. There aie seen about a hundred different kinds. Mr. Dughi saya that he has endeavored to get birda to represent every country, and be haa succeeded in a great meas ure. We give the names of eome that are rarely seen in this country : There are African finches, Australian and African parakeets, lizird canary, white Java sparrows, which we thick the most beautiful little bird we ever saw, Afri can dovea, ring dovea. English magpie. African love bird, bird of Paradiae (very pretty), cuckatoo, which is an African bird and a curious one. South American tropial, African rose breast parrots, Australian king love parrot, (a remarkable bird), gray Java sparrows, European thrushes, Italian blackbird, European jiy bird, EcJgliah linet, bull finch, African white head, German gold finch, African black cap, English cross bill, Enplishchaf finch, English sky lark, African chestnut finches, which are very small and beautiful, and many others, including a groat variety of canaries, which are also very intereet ing. The school tjhildren who have rand of thpRA hirria havn now nnnnrtnni ty to see them. There are also prairie dogs, t vo ''handsome" monkeys, and guinea pigs. This is one of the moat interesting exhibits of the Fair and one may spend profitably a half hour study ing these birds. STOCK DEPARTMENT. Of line horses there waa a fine display of fine stallions. Messrs. Hackburn & Willtt exhibited one. also Mr. Joel Kinsty of Fort Barnwell; Wm. Hunter of Goldsboro and Dr. Linster Duffy of thia city. Capt. Bell of Wilmington had a beautiful two year old colt, and a fine animal was exhibited by Mr. L E. Pridgen of Greene county. As sad dle horses there were several entries; among them Mr. John Meaaic had a fine one, also Mr. John W. Stewart, Mr. Plaisted and Mr. Hugh Dortch, and Mr. Wm, Hunter of Goldsboro. A saddle mate by Major Williams. The colts included a number of fine animals; E M. Pavie'a, Chas. S. Bryan's and aome with the mothers. A jack and Jennie by Willet & Hackburn; a j ick by Jas. A. Bryan. Mules were also exhibited byJ-L Hahn. J. W. Stewart and others whose names we could not obtain. Mr. Samuel Ipock had a fine horse also on exhibition. We were listing these ex hibits just when the judges were ex amining the ftock for the prizes, hence we had to content ourselves with lim ited information. TAXIDERMY. Miss Alice Doffy's display of taxi dermy, in the room with the art de partment and exhibit of curios, was much admired. The representative of Harper's Weekly said that it waa "the chief attraction of the Fair." It was, we think, one of the most attractive features. There was a very intereeting scene arranged in a large glass case: On the outskirts of the woods, in the tall, thick straw and bushes, three frightened rabbits are squatted as still aa mice, but ready at the slightest noise to jump. In the back ground a fox is peering through the buabes at them and slyly creeping upon them. The animals look almost as natural as life. There are a number aof beautiful specimens of taxidermy, such as white British owl; a real Connecticut part ridge, which ia much larger than our "partridge" (quail); a ekunk, large horn owl, a beautiful mallard duck, white heron, summer duck, a large eagle. There were also beautiful cards of original design, easter chickens, etc.; game planks mounted with dead game: novel fans exquisitely made; a lamp screen, made of a green heron, which is unique aid ingeniously designed. Another ecene broken limbs and vines, with golden-winged woodpecker, swamp pparrow. linnet, red-winged starling and flying cquirrei perched uponthe limbs; very pretty. Miss Duffy's exhibit was beautifully and ar tistically arranged. Part of the space in the fish, oyster and game building ia occupied by Clarke & Morgan, taxidermists. They have an interesting display of their work. The birds and animals appear almost as natural as life. The exhibit is artistically and beautifully arranged, and there ia nothing on the ground that will be more intereeting to those who admire and appreciate the art of taxi dermy. We will not attempt to de acribe any particular piece of work, but suffice it to aay that the exhibit is by tha well known firm of Clarke & Morgan, aad fully sustains their repu tation. There are a half dozen or more different kinds of wild duck, cormo rant, or Bogue sound layers; eagle, gannet gull, brant, three kinds of owl, North Carolina and Florida rail, oyster birda, red birda, red-winged black birda, warblera, downy woodpecker, four kinds of hawk, five kinds of heron, aud collection of thirty quail. Of fish, there are tarpan, cero, gar and porgie. Of animals there are mink, fox, a deer's bead, a deer's horna, and hair seal. All of these animals were killed iu Eastern North Carolina and mounted by Clarke & Mprgan. A very credit able exhibit it is. There are ajeo included in this ex hibit a display of mounted deer horns by Mr. Henry Brown, and a large wolf, mounted in New York, exhibited by Mr.Wm. Hunter, of Goldsboro. This wolf was at the Fair last year alive. Concluded on third page. EDITORIAL NOTES. Blair's blnnderbas has basted, blowing op his son, old Blair's Bill. Chicago has been selected as the place for holding the World's Fair. John D. Rockefeller, the oil king, is said to have an income of $750 and hoar. The Virginia Legislature has passed a bill making Robert E. Lee's birthday a legal holiday. If the State of Montana isn't ashamed of itself for electing such a legislature, it has a complete monopoly of its feelings. More than thirty British noble men are at present living on charity. In England, of coarse, In America they wonld be visiting. Philadel phia Times. We note with pleasure the re vival of the Durham Daily Globe, T. E. Eldridge Editor and publisher, R. E. Carr Associate Editor. We tender congratulations and best wishes. February made a most com mendable effort to give us a little winter weather? but was not much more successful than January and December. We will see what March and April have in store. The "plain living and high thinking" which Emerson recom mended to the American people has been amended by the wealthy peo ple of New York. They believe in high living and no thinking at all. -Pittsburg Dispatch. The ambitious Republican who wants the presidential nomination in '92 should come out boldly and proclaim that the colored Republi cans shall have their share of the offices. He should not forget, how ever, to have a full fund to draw on i darin the sittings Of the COnven- tion. Louisville Courier Journal. Many Illinois farmers have quit raising wheat as profitless, aud gone into apple raising; and now the tariff organs may beneficiently pat them on the back and remind them bow much they owe to the protection that makes existence a continuous feast of dumplings. Phil. Record. The indignation of the Republi cans is merely a pretense, but if it were genuine it ought to prove no obstacle to the Ohio Democrats. We have observed that the Repub licans are maddest whon. some of their swindles are undone. Now is the time for the Democrats of Ohio to begin and complete the work of reform. Atlanta Constitution. Centralization and consolida tion have sped rapidly under Re publican leadership and plotting, but never more rapidly than within the brief period since the 51st Con gress assembled, the leaders of which have distanced all their predecessors in the bold and long strides they have made in the direction of an absolute and lawless party despotism. Wil. Star. Editor Medill, of the Chicago Tribune, in one of his tariff-reform fits, predicts the defeat of the Republican party unless it thor oughly revises the tariff and thus removes the question from the next campaign. But can the Republican party thoroughly revise the tariff! Was it not to prevent this thorough revision that the protected manu facturers consented to having the "fat " fried out of them for campaign purposes? St. Louis Post Dispatch. The lower House of Congress again affords the whole country an object lesson. What it teacKes the ingenias American youth is that the supreme duty of a legislator is to stand by his party. Statesman ship consists chiefly in party leader ship. It is of secondary consequ ence, if not positively trivial, to in quire in any case whether the party position is right. The one thing to determine is what is party ortho doxy; he who never swerves from that is sure of salvation. Christian Leader. Foeaker's reputation is so well known, even in Canada, that the Canadian Ministers do not hesitate to assure Parliament that they do not believe there is a word of truth iu Foraker's statement that he received telegrams from Washing ton when he was Governor of Ohio asking how many men he could send to invade Canada. His pre vious reputation as a mere "blow- hard" was ruined by his Wood ballot box forgery, and he is now generally regarded as one who could not tell the troth if he wanted to and would not if he could. St. Lonis Post Dispateh. The New Berne Journal states that Mr. Jonathan Havens had sold a Mr. Dunn one hundred pecan trees which he proposed to plant on his track farm. We have seen mention made several times lately in our eastern State exchanges of the planting of these trees for the purpose of nut raising, whioh must prove a profitable industry every where where the trees thrive, and they will thrive anywhere in North Carolina. One acre of these trees when in good bearing would bring in more clear cash than ten acres of cotton at the highest market price, and once planted the expense is done with. This is something that our farmers Bhoald 'give their at 1 tention to. Wilmington Star. CHICAUO. For several months a contest has been waged by New York, Washington, Chicago and St. Loui for the seat of the World's Fair The contest has been decided and Chicago is the victor. We are disappointed. We ad vocated the selection of Washing ton, bat we salute Chicago with genuine good will. How came Chicago to win? New York had the eloquent Depew to champion her cause, and had a decided advantage in being the commercial emporium of the West ern World. Washington City is the National Capital, andis neces sarily invested with the glory of the great American Republic. A World's Fair, in celebration of the discovery pf America, it seems to us ought to be held in the Capital or the most illustrious nation of the new world. But the discassiou is ended Chicago has won the prize. Why has Chicago won! They tell us that it is more centrally situated than any of its competitors, and that the Fair ought to be held in the heart of the country. But there is a better reason than this : a reason that is the chief element of success all over the world Chicago! has pluck, business sagacity and indomitable energy. Will the cities of the South learn a lesson of Chicago ! The City of the Lakes cannot approach New York in greatness and renown; and for beaoty, magnificence and and adaptability it is not to be mentioned in comparison with Washington ! This is a materialistic age. Cul ture, refinement and letters have not been relegated to the limbo of forgetfulness, but the firm and un conquerable resolve to win is the sesame that opens the gates on the highway of success ! There has been a depression all over North Carolina. The failure of crops, and the thousand ills that follow in the train have palsied our arms. Resolution can make the infant sinew strong as steel; rejuvinate age, and'on the brow of the tempest arch the rainbow of promise. He should blush to sink under the anguish of one wound who surveys a body seamed over with the scars of many. No South-, era man should faint because the ay is long and the burden heavy. "Up and at them," is the command of the old guard. Whatever the danger it must be met; whatever the obstacle it must be overcome. The young man who says "I can't succeed'' carries his greatest enemy in his own bosom a faint heart and an irresolute spirit. If we were permitted to give but one ad monition to the young men of North Carolina, we would say, have faith in Qod and man and go forward ! PERSONALITIES IN THE SENATE. "Cpme, my boy! do yoa take this parlor for a prize rfng !'' In the olden time the use of of fensive personalities on the floor of Congress was the inevitable pre lade to a challenge to mortal com bat. As a consequence the ears of visitors, at the National Capitol, were seldom offended by rude and discourteous words. We are no apologist for the duel, but we deprecate the sustom of indulging in epithets and in uendoes with insolent impunity. In this day it is no mark of courage to use blistering words, but it is evidence of good breeding to bear them with dignity and self respect. Lately the Senate has witnessed a war of words as harmless as blank cartridges in a sham battle. Cus tom makes Call and Chandler secure in their persons and trans forms the roaring of lions into into braying of jackasses. The country is to be congratu lated in that courtesy, wit, facts and arguments have become the weapons of gentlemen. Civilization is advancing iu the light of Christianity, and we trust that Senators, at least, will soon be able to distinguish between the actions of a boor and the conduct of a gentleman. But we do not care for Senators aa much as we do for the young men of the country. Senators have passed the formative period of life, and whatever has passed into the warp and filling of their lives will probably remain there unto the end. Bat our young men are putting on their unform in which to fight life's battles, and they must look well to its texture. We are so constituted that we I cannot escape the influence of of- fical station. Young men look to their seniors as exemplars worthy of imitation, and it is matter of regret that the examples of the great are not always elevating and salutary. Too little value is sometimes at tached to Ihe gentleman. We do not refer to the man of fashion, albeit a gentleman may be a fash ionable man, but wo mean one in whom all the elements meet to give the world assurance of a man.
