Seeming to forget the parcity of his audience, and reuemberjng 9qIj the personel ot the aelect bat appreciative few present, the patriotic pathos of the speaker was lis. tened to with the greatest deffereoee tad pleasure He told the people that while the rich might go dowa in their pocket , as they nocbt to do. to commemorate the worth o ' and virtue of oar great departed heroes. it was tbe peopl) of North Carolina, of whom Vance was one, sqouid duhu mis moo amen t with their nickles and 'heir quarters.

Our readers know that we heartily ap prove of education on an industrial line. Every boy and every girl, whether there is Deed for it or not should b fitted to do something well thai they may be properly equipped fcr the battles of lite and lor Un reason we believe that every n r u: i-e-ment should be given to the tw State Institutions, Agricultural ami M.-clianj-l College for boys and the K..rmul :ind Industral Institute lor girls. We are gratified at the excellent work that has been doDe in both these schools. bat we wish now to speak particularly oi the latter and its suu-ess from facts lurn ished by President Ctia. D. Mclver. "The commencement programme lias beeu prepared with a view to giving tile people of the Stiitj an entertainment worthy of their attention, au l with the hope that the aien and women of North Carolina would be induced to actend the commencement occasion ol the State Normal and kdustraial School and be- pooie njort) interested in the work aDd success orthU theij' ypangesj lnsmuuuu of learning, and at the sunie liine Que which has the largest number of North Carolina students ever enrolled at any college. From the day that the institution ws opened in October, 1892, the number of applicants for admission has been more than twice as many as could be accom modated in the dormitories of the institu tion, and abnt 150 students this year have b.osraed in private taiuihes. 1 lie number of students enrolled is 390. ex clusive of the Practice and gbaervation School, More than twenty Of tfcese are grad uates of other institutions; one.tlurd of them ate paying their expenses without help from parents; about two thirds of them say that if they bad not come to this institution tbey would not have at tended any college for girls in North Carolina; about three-fourths of them ex pect to become teachers; they represent eighty pf the ninety-six counties in the Statet and the average ?lge is neany twen ty J- . It is the only Institution, -orin Caro lina where the State or any church in the State has given any material aid to ehearjen education for the white women of the State except at the cc-educational collesres. VTbis is an Institution belonging to the Slate, The tacts stated abo?e indicate what a wide field of usefulness the insti tution has before it if it can receive from the State something like the same support that is given to either ot thp Sfate a in stitutions for men, The Normal and Industrial School bos had more applicants for admission than it CHild accommodate. Itns only indi cates how great a demand there is tor an institution ot this kind If the Stnte would make a sufficient appropriation to enlarge and properly equip the plant, wbipb is, in tne main, a nonauon from tbe town of Greensboro to" seen re the lo cation, 750 to 1.000 students then within few years might reasonably tie ex pected." Tbe State should see to it that the financial encouragement needed is forth coming. Uive tne gins 01 me eiaie every opportunity possible. We'd Like to Have Him Coine.

The Star giving au account of the death of Mr. J. B.

Its Mala Object to Secure ForAlrn Trade for the South The Good Res nits Expected at Wilmington and Els.where Thn Star of Friday morning announced A special nieeting of the Wilmington Pro duce exchange to be held that afternoon. Col. I. W. Avery, special commissioner of the Cotton States and International Ex position was to make an address in belialf qf the Exposition. It is to be held in the Jail of next yr-ar Col, Avery seeks to get Exchangts to errdorse the Exposition and urge the State authorities to make an exhibit, and to ask. our Senators and Representatives in Congress to favor an rppropriutiun by the general Government tor a national ex hibit, It is stated tltat the main object of the proprietors of the Exposition is to secure for this country the foieign trade of all countries southh of us the West Indies Mexico; South and Central America whose trade amounts to eleven hundred millions of dollars, of which this country now gets about one-flKhi the balance go ing fo other countries, when it ought to pome to the United States, Alabama, it is said is itie first coa) state of the South, with Mobile a gulf port, and yet her shipments of coal to these countries is very small, while England two thousand miles further, sends them annually $8,000,000 worth of coal. Ship merits of cofee frqn) these poultries to. the Uqifed State annually amount to $120,000,000, and of this the South gets only six millions, Wilmington used to have some of this trade', but has none now, and this exposition is to help her regain it. Direct trade is one of the great purpo ses of this movement; and the State of North Carolina with he.r great tobacco interests, her cotton manufacturing, the second in the South, her established port of Wilmington, one of the oldest and best on the Southern Seaboard, will b one of the chief beneficiaries of this ip-? creased trade. President Cleveland Not at Xorehead. Thursday the Buoy tender Violet, on which President Cleveland started on his second fishing trip in North Carolina waters avrived,atMorehead or rather anch ored off Fort Macon in sight of that place. This was about 11 o'clock in the morning. That afternoon about three o'clock, she went off presuma bly for a trolling trip, i,eturued. in an hor or two anq anchored at the same place remaining all night and leaving yesterday morning it sunrise. It being known that Cltveland had been aboard this boat it was taken for granted he was there still and telegrams were sent out to several papers accordingly. In tact, s qme one qn the Violet, "a-fat and handsome per sqn," was considered to be Cleveland. Pilot reported that they observed this gentleman "while the steamer was out trolling, pulling up the Spanish mackerel and blue fish as fast as he could throw out his lines.'' Bu,t the President was not there at all ! The fat and handsome" gentleman was somebody else, Cleveland got off the boat when she was at Hatteras. Will Summer In the CatskiU Mountiaos. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hallock left by the Neuse yesterday evening 'or the Catakill Mountains in New York State, where they will make headquarters for the Bum mer, returning early in November. Mr. Hallock migrates as regularly as the birds he loves to write about en joying the pleasures and privileges of gen tlemen of wealth and leisure, without the auxieties and responsibilities of a house keeper who maintains a dual establish ment. He finds at all times congenial employ ment in writing up lor publication the objects ho discovers in his travels. It is ever a pleasure to have Mr. Hal lock and his wife about. The Catskill Mountains are a great re sort in the summer. There are about 500 hotels in tbe range, from the small ones that accqmnodate about a score up to the mammoth one 1,800 feet in length that accommodates three thousand. It is said that 50,000 visitors are there in the sum mer. Large Yields of Wool. The Durham Sun tells of J. S. Carr's having ten Shropshire ewes sheered and getting from them seven and a halt to ten pounds of wool each' These impor ted sheep are ot the finest breed. To obtain such clippings as the above must insure profit to the sheep raiser, It pays to have good hreea 'n everything. Xnd how incomparably better a flock of profitable sheep is than one or two hounds or curs that may be found on many a farm while the sheep are absent from them. More sheep and fewer dogs in the country will make a big change fjr the better. Elegant North Carolina Work. Mr. J. W. Stewart has just received at his livery establishment one of the hand somest carriages that ever entered the city. It is of North Carolina make, be ing one from the factory of Tyson and Jones, Carthage, N. C, vhich makes as. elegant riding vehicles as are used in the State. The carnage is not only handsome now but the beauty is enduring, because there is no imitation work about it. Its mate rial and workmanship is first class all the i way thiough. We are glau to see such ! high class work being done in North Carolina and glad also to see the I home industries of tbe SUtt; being I patronized by our people. Miss Lida Carr, of Durham, the accom plished daughter of Col. J. S, Capr, will recite at the laying qf the corner stqne qf the Confederate monument in Kaleigh, on the 22d, that grand poem of the South's Poet Laureate,Father Ryan, "The Furled Banner." The State convention of Kansas Demo crats has declared for free coinage, a t iriff for revenue only and an income tax. The third congressional Democratic conven tion of Tennessee favors free and unlimit ed coinage of silver, the Wilson hiu (original the repeal of tax on State Bftnks, and tabled a resolution endorsing the administration. A GRAND PLACE. A Partial Description of Gieno Stock Farm, Ons'ow County. The Episcopal excursion on the ICth inst. gave quite a number of New Bernians their first trip down New River and their first visit to the grand stock farm of President Thos. A. Mclntyre, of the W. N. & N. R lilroad, tliat region liav- ing at quite a recent date first been made easily accemble from New Berne by the opening of the railroad and the running of a steamer on the river in connection with the road. New river is really more of an estuary than a river proper. Seven miles above Jacksonville is as high as it can be navi gated by land it Is only four miles from Jacksonville to the highest navigable point. lhe view of tbe New river at Jackson ville does not begin to give a fair idea of that stream. It is quite narrow there but it quickly widens out below, and at President Mclntyre's farm is betwe. n ona and two miles wide. It annears theiw pretty much as- ttv Neuse does at New Rerna, and. at the portion called Stone's bay, 31 miles below Jacksonville, it is a good three miles wide. It Is often called five miles, but we are informed by those familiar with the river that the latter is nearer the correct figure. Near the mouth of this river grow oysters which many de clare are the finest in the world, and fish are of the finest flavor. The scenery, ftlqng the rvr 1 quite uiUy, and at ono of the most desirable sites throughout its whole length lies the magnificent farm and elegant winter home of Mr. Thos. A. Mclutyre, who is now in New York. The farm is on the southern bank. It has, in all, 3000 acres, four hundred; of which are in cultivation. By water It la ten. rqilea from Jacksonville, the nearest point on the W. N. & N. Railroad acces sible in that way; by land it is five miles to the nearet-t station, Verona. To a passer on the river tle farm shows but little, because, a. skjirt of woods has been left along the shore which partially hides even the nearest buildings. A pier with a warehouse on the end juts out from the landiug to deep water. The land here is considerably higher than the river, A road with proper slope leads to the high level ground above and then on to the buildings, while strong rustic steps are at the right for those who choose to use them in making tha as cent. The lo,Jge qr residence of Mr. Mclntyre and family is at the right a few hundred feet back from the river, near enough to give a view of it through the trees and get the breeze from it. The building is unique, pretty and well designed, and it is not in any field, neither is It erffd:, it is right in tlie wodii wth the exception of clearing enough around it to give a medium sized yard. The family being absent, the main portion of the house was closed, but the conservatory with its choice and rare plants was thrown open to the visitors. A little further hatk from the river and qq tbe opposite side of the road is the home of the superintendent, Mr. I.. A. Guy and bis family, a commodious place in keeping with the character of the farm. A little further on straight ahoad lie the poultry y&rd, barns, stables etc. There are eight roomy, well planned stock-barns, one being devoted to the cattle, the others to the horses, the stalls of the high bred ones being labelled in large printed cards with the name and pedigree of the animal that occupies each. The beautiful standard-bred Ken tucky stallion Wiseman, with Abdallab and Hambletoniao blood flowing in his veins is a magnificent animal, He was at the last East Carqlina Fair; there are also four thoroughbred mares of as fine pedigrees as can be obtained. The work horses of the farm are choice ones of their kind. Mr. Mclntyre is breeding a superior strain of mules, first class animals on each side being selected. The sire is tbe unusually fine jack, Monarchy ane of tbe best in the South, We can see no reason why the raising of horses and mules should not become a prominent industry with us, and a stop thus be put to the importation of so many Kentucky or more distantly raised ones. Wfh, the exception of two grade Jer seys, all ot the cattle on the farm are thoroughbred Holsteins and are perfect beauties. The poultry yards are divided off by wire fences. Besides the chickens a good number of turkeys and ducks are being raised. - beautiful nock of Pekins and a tew wild geese were within a wire fence enclosure which extends well out into the river, and on the land takes in a deep ravine in which the water fowl and deer have their habitation. A rustic bridge witn seats at tbe cen ter extends from one side of the ravine to to the other and on the farther side is an excellent bowling alley and a lawn tennis court. rut while we are speaking of the ' birds" we must not forget the pheasant. Tbey are few in number as yet, only a trio tor breeding purposes, but the supply will soon I iucreased. About forty of the eggs are now in setting under hens. The pheasants are a, highly esteemed game bird in Europe, and we understand Mr. Molntyre intends to turn some ol those he raises loose in the forests around him. About three hundred yards from the farm buildings is the track, a well made and perfecty kept one on which the horses are practiced. It is a half-mile one, about sixty feet ia width, with a judge's stand equal to those at fairs. The aoove win give some idea 01 the farm and the progressive farming that is being carried on there. It is well worth while to pav a visit to it. We found at the farm, Mr. D. A. Wil ley, staff correspondent of the Manufac turers Record and the Southern States of Baltimore. He had been spending a couple ot days at the farm, tq gather matter toy publication in these maga zines., ffe left at the same time the pic nic party did to continue his trip to other places. He will close bis tour at Mont gomery, Alabama. Mr. Willey had already visited quite ex tensively in our State, and had it in his mind to come to New Berne and visit our truck farms especially Hack burn & Willett's and other industries qf this place. He had already visited a number qf places aqd he pronounces Eastern jfqrth Carolina, from Wilmington to the northern line, one of tbe finest places in j the United States for raising vegetables ana suiamruus. MILITARY ENCAMPMENT. The Third and Fenrth Rerlaients U Cam at Morhead. Governor Carr bas decided that the Military Encampment of the Third and Fourth regiments must be at Morebead City this year. He does not state the exact date, but they will go there early i. July. This is as it should be. Morebead spent considerabla monev - -4 for the encampment last year, for which she received no renummeration, and the boys like it best there anyway.. Of course a military encampment means work for the regiments, but there will be a few momenta of leisure, and, if for no other cause, this alone would place Morebead far above any other place in the State. Naturally it is not surpass ed by any resort on the Atlantic coast it is of the rarest occurrence that refresh ing becezes do not blow from the ocean, and a finer harbor for sailing, fishing and hashing is unknown. The Episcopal Pieaie. The Episcopal 8aoday school picnic left by special train Wednesday morning, directly after the regular passenger of the W. N. & N. road. The front cars were devoted to tbe Sunday School children and their teach er, the rar to the other excursionists, while a baggage car in tbe middle carried an ample supply of edibles. It reached Jacksonville in good time, and the prog rim me was carried out with much enjoyment to the entire crowds At Jacksonville, all embarked on the steamer Geo. D. Purdy, Captain Taylor, which, runt in connection with tle railroad. The raptsin and his men showed commendable courtesy in seeking the pleasure of all on board. 1 1 he steamer has more seating capicity than her appearence indicates, and the two hundred picnicers had ample room to !c comfortably seated or to move free ly about in any part of the boat. Mr. Mclntyre's farm lies about ten miles below Jacksonville by water it was soon reached, and the pleasure seek- trs landed for dinner. It was prepared and partaken of in tbe natural nativs-torest grove that lies in front of Mr. Mclntyre's lodge on the high bluff overlooking the river. A long flight of attractively constructed steps led from the landing to the top. , was an admirable place lor the din ner, the. trees gave perfect shade and yet were far enough apart not to interfere with the building of the table. There was no undergrowth to give anj annoy ance, and the ground was well covered with clean dry pine Btraw and oak leaves so that all who chose could seat them selves on it and partake of dinner, tbus ftom wooden plates, a plentiful supply of which had been taken alongt and more of the picnicers in groups with filled plates ate their dinners thus, than there did at the tables. The spacious grouads and many at tractions, the poultry, the horses, and colts, (of which there are over half a hundred) the cattle, the deer, the phea sants, the dogs, the numerous and spa cious barn buildinss, the race track and the other general arrangements ol the farm, as far as tbey could be observed in so brief a time held the delighted attent ion of tbe visitors until three o'clock in the afternoon, two hours later than it was planned to leave there, This made it so, late that tbe ocean was not quite reached, the steamer came with in four miles ot it however, and then the homeward journey began. The parry arrived home at 8 o'clock precisely, after having enjoyed one of tbe most variod excursions that ever falls to the lot of a picnic party. They had a thirty-eight mile trip by rail, a twenty ne mile trip by steamer on a lovely river with a cool refreshing breeze blowing, spent several hours ashore in great enjoyment, and returned wishing only that the day had been longer. No better a trip could have been planned and none could bare passed off wiu Digner sautoacuoa man 11 aiu. "Misery Loves Company." It would seem from an incident that came under tbe observation of one of our citizens the above old adage holds true with animals as well as members of tbe human family. Tbe gentU man saw one of the newly muzzled dogs that seemed to be very much cast down thereat, moving along with bowed head and drooping tail until presently seeing two other dogs be went un to tbem and found they were in the same fix he was. Then seemed to come tbe spent of his dreams. He brightened up, elev ated his head, gave his tail the accus tomed curl and seemed to recover the spirit that had temporarily forsaken him. A Small Fire. Wednesday night at a quarter past IS o'clock, an alarm of fire was sent in from box 56, at the corner of South Front and Middle Sts. Tbe bakery of Messrs. Locus &, Lewis was iliund to be ou fire in the front por tion of the building where the goods, provisions, etc , were stored. Hj d rants were turned on quickly and in a very short while it was under con- troll. Tbe stock was damaged prob ably about $300, and tbe building slight. ly. The insurance is $1,000, carried by Mr. W. G. Brinson. The alarm was sent in by watchman Tilman and the fire Com panies quickly responded and did good service, te water works proving effective. Two of tbe young firemen, Messrs.Geo. Roberts and Albert Bangert were slightly nurt, but we are glad say not seriously. The Women Were Bhjht The following paragraph from the Wil mington Star is most sensible, and at this juncture, most apropos. "A strike was neaaea on in some Maryland coal mines the other day by tbe wives of tbe miners who held a meet ing and insisted that their husbands would show more lead-mule sense by striking to work and taking care ot their families than by listening to tbe walking delegates trom umo. 1 nc Maryland miners con eluded that their wives were level-headed and stuck- There are many thousands of deserving people wno would gladly accept tbe op portunity 01 getting meat and bread tor their wives and little ones, these people want to throw away. As things now he should be happy who can obtain work that will keen off suffering. New Bern aad Beaufort Base Ball. The base ball game between the teams of New Bern and Beaufort took place Wednesday at the latter place. The game was called off on account of the New Bern boys having to stop before it was concluded. Tbe reason tbey had to quit was that Mr. Jack Neal, catcher f.ite New Bern team, wu mawir r the excursion train, and he bad to leave to get his engine in readiness for the re turn. Tbe New Bern boys having to quit gave the game to the Beaufort team, but the score was tweve to four in favor of tbe New Bern team. Only five innings had been played when tbe game w as called off. There U dissatisfaction 01 the part of tbe New Bern team on account of Mot her of the Beaufort team objecting to de cisions of tbe umpire. Such interrsptions are strictly against the roles aod ia a pno feMiooal team it would subject tbe offen der to a fine. About five hundred people witnessed . tbe game, many of these were members of the picnic party and visitors frorr More head. Ths Methodist Picnic. The pionlc ol Centenary M. E. Sunday school, which went to Morehead Thursday is considered tlie greatest tliat ever left - New Berne. There were alout 600 peo ple along. Dinner was partaken of in the immeMe . diningroom ot the Atlantic Hotel which was sufficiently large for tbe purpose. Mr. Perry, the proprietor, with thai geniality so characteristic of him, which did so much last year to bring the hotel to its presant popularity, threw Its doot open to the excursionist and bade them ' make themselves at home; the servants CtT the hotel busied themselves making every thing as pleasant as if tbey had been guests of tbe hotel. . - A large number of the picnicers went over to Beaufort to witness the bail gamer others went to the fort, tbe banks, out sailing, eto simply for pleasure. Tbey all report having had a good time.. Struck la ths Eye. Miss Martha Thomas, daughter of Mr. Lon Thomas, of BeanUbrt, met with a painful accident while the base ball game was in progress there. Site was viewing the game from the upstairs window of the school house when a foul ball flew to where she was and struck her in the eye. The eye and a portion of the noes was badly bruised but about an hour afterward the indications were that no serious result would follow. "SEWS ADRIFT." "Plcked-Up" by The Journal Which Is.

During the thunder squall on Thursday evening tbe lightning struck the tall Chine berry tree on the sidewalk north of Mr. : W.JP. Burrus' residence scaring the trunk ; from top to bottom with a sort or rifle- twist which made a complete circuit of the tree. Tbe report was startling. Among the gallant beaux, who went with tbe ladies on tbe Episcopal picnie to Jacksonville yesterday, with Mens palpitating kindly for the feminine world, ' I wra Messrs. W. II. Oliver, who iasujass everything save matrimonial chances, and C. T. Hancock, who is always anxious to furnish brethereu of the press with a per- . sonal item. The New Berne base bail teem are pre paring to interest ths citizens with food ball playing all through ths summer sea son, and to do this tbey have got to ptrt their grounds in good condition cut down trees, fill up holes, etc. Tbe boys seem to be in dead earnest to equip them selves for ball playing, and any donations from our citizens to help them carry out their plans would be gladly received. Tbe rain which we had Thursday afternoon only reached about five miles from the city on Ibe Neuse road and only about three miles we are Informed, down tbe W. N, & N. R. R. The rain larther down a little earlier in the day wss be tween Maysville and Stella, but there was none either in Jacksonville or Swans bo ro. Tbe Wilmington Messenger lias it's be up because Governor Carr bas designated Morebead as the place of tbe military en campment. To say tbe least this state ment of it is of questionable taste: "With the Governor and other powers that be interested pecuniarily at Morihesd, we repeat that we feel no surprise at losing the encampment another year.'' This U a very grave insinuation against our chief executive, and one that should not be lightly made by auy one.
