Itj has been given out that recently rej-reientative- from fourteen "hovel facto ries held a -ecre. meeting in IJo.-ton and forrne-l a combination.

A compilation of Xorth Carolina pot try by Rev. I fight C. Moore, is a handsome little volume and deserves a place in every library in the State. There is much more poetical talent in Xorth Carolina than many suppose, and a careful perusal of this volume will astoni.-h tho'e who have not read it. We should be gladto see the work liberally patronized for two reasons : First, it would show appreciation of our native poetical talent ; and secondly, it would lie a means of encouraging the compiler to even improve on his first edition. We think Mr. Moore can be reached by addressing him now at Winston. Ceneral FitxIIugh 'Lee'.- address be fore the graduating class from the Uni versity College of Medicine in Rich mond last week was "a most happy hit in eloquence and wit. In addressing the forty young doctor? he began thus : L idles and Centlemen "In those days was llezekiah, the King, sick unto death, and he sent unto all the physi cians that they might come from the north, and from the south, from the east, and from the west, that they might heal him." And here Sciipture is ominouslv si- lent concerning the remedies used, but sump up the result in the closing verse of the chapter : "And llezekiah slept with his fa thers." Figures taken from the Railway Age 'iow that there is considerable decline in he construction of railroads in this c untry. In 1SS7 there were nearly lo.OOtJ miles of track laid in this coun try, but it lias been gradually diminish- mg until in lS'Jo there were only 1,803 miles of track. The total railway length in the United States is 181,000 miles, and if our country should equal Croat Britian in mil way ratio to square miles vte should have 402,000 miles. It the State of Illinois should be made the ratio according to square miles of territory we should have 522, 0( miles, while making Massachusetts the ratio according to square miles we should have 772,000 miles. That is, if everv State in the Union had as many miles of railroad according to square miles of territory as Massachusetts has this country would have 772,000 miles of road. It now loks like there will I e about l,7"0 miles of track laid in the vear IS'.'G. The Old Dominion Steamship Com pany's steamer Wyanoke sailing from Richmond to Xew York collided with the United States cruiser Columbia near Xewport Xews about V o'clock on the morning of April 2Sth. It ws badly damaged and sank in thirty min utes. There were 110 persons on the ill-fated steamer, 107 passengers and 42 officers and men of the steamer. None , , nond -whiff fire- were lost except- " 1.- man who was mougut r- 1 . . . . , down with the steamer, me passen gers were successfully transferred to the Columbia in time to be saved and were carried ashore. The people of Xew port Xews were generous and kind and ,c.on made them comfortable. It was sit an hour of the night when raot of the passengers were asleep, so they lost their baggage and much of their wear ing apparel. There were many colored oeoole on as steerage passengers going w.vtl, to find summer employment nmPnf them jumped overboard but were saved, and preparation was made ,v.uw Xews for their temporal ..n r.r tiifi whites, the comlort as wen us. story of escape by some of the passen gers was thrilling. ufantoff fin Idea 7ho can thick r,r anme simple thing to patent?

We have seen something of the or ganization, and wort of Ue principal missionary societies, and wish to call your attention to another Impor .nt department of mission work that of woman's work for women. Woman 's place in the gospel was secondary only in that she was not made an apostle was not called to preach. In all other relations she held a first place and the service she rendered was graciously ac cepted by her Lord. Her burst of ser vice extended from Africa, the proph etess, who spoke of Christ to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem to that elect lady who trained her children to walk in the truth, women minister ed to Him of their substance. The Samaritan woman gave him her testi mony, the Syrophenician mother her faith ; the woman that was forgiven mfich, her love and her tears. oman was truest to Him, most un selfish and most constant in her faith and service. When the disciples, save John. h;nl tied and left him in his hame and agony, the women were there. They saw him going with his own blood, reviled, insulted, rejected, and loved and trusted Ilim. She was last at the cross; and first at the tomb, and first to find a risen Saviour, and first to carry to the church and the world the news of the resurrection. In the early christian church, as shown by the Xew Testament and the writing of the early christian fathers. some women were special!" set apart as deaconesses, to care for the poor and sick, and give private instruction to those of their own sex who could not be taught by men. Widows were often employed in this work. "They were in fact the Z age : when the state of society and of family life,'espeeially among the Greeks, resembled, in many respects, what we find to-da' in heathen lands." This otlice was merged, into the men, when human inventions took the place of divine order and finally disappeared from church history. The work of the Moravian church, the only church that gives more min isters to the Foreign than to the Home held, has observed this primative order. Their women bear their part very much, as Friscilla, I'll oe be and Persia bore theirs in the first christian mis sions. This order came bacfc in some form, with all the churches in this cen tury of missions, all the churches have their woman's missionary societies and board, and their missionaries in all the foreign mission fields. This is neces sary because the great majority of heathen women are absolutely out ol the reach of the ministrations of men, and because all of them etand specially in need of such woman ly trainig as christian workers alone can give to raise them from the degra dation into which they have fallen and fit tneni for filling their rightful place in the christian family and the chris tian church. Xo movement or work has been productive of so much good, both at home and abroad. Reward at Last. Selected. Verily the life of a country editor is a path of thorns. His bread is promises and his meat is disappointment. His creditors chase him by day and the devil grinneth at him in his dreams by night. He sendeth the paper to a subscriber on credit and the subscriber payeth him not. Then he stoppeth the delinquent's paper, and the delinquent singeth tra la ! and borroweth it of a neighbor. He whoopeth up the township pliti- cian and the politician gets elected and knoweth him no more. He puffeth the church fair gratis and then attendeth it and payeth his quar ter and receiveth two oysters. He boometh his town, all things therein, and yet receiveth no support and is a man without honor in his own country. Two young people marry, and be giveth them a great puff and they go housekeeping and take not his paper. Yea, he is bound down with woe and his days are full of grief and trouble and vexation of spirit. Rut the sorrow endureth only for a night and joy cometh in the morning. He ploddeth along and endureth in patience, and it is written that he will receive his reward at the judgement. Democrat.
