The Spaniards are making some talk about disturbing the dust of Co lumbus removing it to Spain and have imposing ceremonies. While Spain has not asked our counsel in toe matter, we are of the opinion that to bother about trying to find Colum bus' duet now will be lost energy. The following is at least a little amusing if not witty : On the morning after his recent ap pointment as Honorary Physician to the Queen, Professor Wilson, of , the University of Edinburg, conveyed the glad tidings ot his glory to the pupils in his classes by writing on the black board in his laboratory the following simple statement : "Professor Wilson informs his students that he has this day been appointed Honorary Physician to the Queen." In the course of the morning he had occasion to leave the room, and on his return he found that one of the young men had added to the announcement the line, "God save the Queen !" Like so many other things that silly people begin, that kissing business has been "run into the ground," to use a slang expression. We thought the papers hard up for news when they said so much about that silly woman kissing Hobson ; but the following from a report of Admiral Schley 's-visit to Washington last week is nauseating and sweeps over the line of modesty and decency, we think. Here is the item : "The officers and clerks from the Navy, State, and War departments crowded the corridors leading up to the Navy Department, until it was im possible to pass through. "They crowd ed around the Admiral, eagerly reach inar forward to shake his hand. The ady clerks were even more demonstra tive, and the Admiral was kissed by ' old and young, without discrimina tion." j Mr. Richard H. Edmunds, the ver satile editor of the Manufacturers' Re cord, of Baltimore, was interviewed in New York a few days ago as to the el ect the war with Spain will have on Southern progress, if any. Mr. Ed munds, true to his mission, the up building of all worthy Southern enter prise, readly expressed himself. Of the entire nation he said that the war "has iorcea n America me searching eyes of wide awake men ooking for fields for enterprise and investment, fields in which the rights and possessions ot the individual are safe guarded to the utmost, and where social, industrial and commercial possi bilities exist in the greatest numbers." Mr. Edmunds talked hopefully of every section of the United States, and especially the South. His enlerview concluded with the following para graph : "And so, taking into consideration the new impetus that will be given to Southern development, I am inclined to think that if Judge Kelly of Penn- nvlvnnia were now alive instead ol j saying, as he did, shortly before his death, that the South afforded the most inviting field for the enormous onnrria3 and aurolus accumulation of the North,' he would say with truth hot. thft South to-dav constitutes the focal spot of opportunity for the ener- eies and capital of the world. My own faith in the early and rapid progress o the South, based upon the admirable characteristics of the controlling pop ulation, the assurances of the decline of Dopulistic agitation and a growing realization on the part of the whole ,nr-iA nf it natural endowments in v v most of those things which underlie successful human endeavor, has been greatly strengthened by a study of the benefits which it will derive from the recent world-wide advertisement of the United States, and likewise by the contemplation of the mighty tidal wave of prosperity whose inflow is even now upon this nation.

Anything that is not of the very nature of the thing itself, that is foreign, suggests, or is itself, an imper fection or a fault. It is so in the dress of a lady or gentleman. It does not draw attention to itself by any ambi tious ornament or special display. It . j x, - v i ' a I for admiration, but gently commands I respect, and exercises a pleasant, but indefinable, influence. And so it is in manners and conversation. In very truth, essential virtue and goodness is a spirit that, in a thousand ways and forms, makes itself manifest. Like the ointment of the right hand, it bewray eth itself. The whole world aspires to, and hopes for, a common tongue. Uniyers al weights and measures, a currency that shall be good everywhere, and be a just and safe measure and vehicle of value. Being of one blood and family, members one of another, and mutually dependent, we may look for means of intercommunication and interchange of commerce. We have common water, common air, and common blood, and we may well look for those other things that faciliate and promote com merce and healthy and happy associa tion. The time will come when the whole world shall be of one language, as in the beginning : when wo chiill all I gather in the unity of the spirit, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, and sbal1 nil be conformed to His im age, in the worship and service of the Almighty. The harmony of the Chris tian world is not to come of the settle ment of theological controversies and disputes, or the adjustment of ecclesi astical dignities and titles and govern ments, or a conformity of rituals, but of a single heart, and an eye singly and nlmnlv cot nn tho Rgvinnr na Hft Is f At roia h TTa manifested in the Gospels, and as lie mifocta TTW1f tn th dAvrnit nn1.

The best currency, the standard and measure ol value, everlasting truth, absorbs, swallows up, digests all that is good and true and valuable, and establishes itself. So the universal language and common tongue will come made up of all that is best m every language. Meantime, in all the diversities of interests, and -principles and thoughts, and desires and pursuits and condi - tions in nations and communities and ndividuals, there are multitudinous languages and tongues and dialects and vocabularies. And almost every man has a language of his own, and his own way of interpreting things.- . A common language comes of com mon natures, common experiences, common associations, common feelings, common ideas. No doubt, every liv ing thing has a language belonging to its kind animals and insects. Communities and social circles have their special languages and dialects. The purity, dignity, and delight of their language depend on tne purity dignity, and pleasantness of the thoughts and feelings and ideas that thev represent tiiBxr SJ .... -1 . are instified. and by their words they are condemned. And on the other hand a common, vulgar, low-graded soul will display itseli in vulgarism like the troubled sea casting up mire and dirt.

They EXCELSIOR" IS OUR MOTTO. Pete Vincent's Luck. Fireside Gem. Of the stories of the Overland Pony Express this, as illustrative of the nerve of the riders, is characteristic : t Peter Vincent, who was a rider for t heiart poayxpress through the sage brush deserkof Kevaas-nWjaDcli- i man in Pomona .Valley. "I guess I remember the days when we riders had to keep at work in the region where the Piutes were out for human white game. I'll never forget those times, 'When you see an Indian close enough, shoot hira.' One of our riders, a Mexican, rode into the station with a hole clean through him. He only lived long enough to tell " . .... , us an Indian shot him as he came through a quakenasp thicket about three miles l)ack on the trail. Some of us used to strap ourselves to the saddles of our horses, so that if we, were shot and mortally wounded thete might be some show for us to stay on bur broncos and get awav from the scilping knives of B, " - . -X . the Indians The Mexican was so strapped. "Well, some two days later I had to come through the sftne quakenasp thicket. It was a nariow trail, just wide enough to allow a porse and rider to pass. The trail was! crooked, and the brush was higher than the head of a man on horseback, anfi it shut off all view. "With my heart bounding against the roof of my youth, I put my rifle at full cock, dropped the reins on the neck of my pony, put both my spurs into his flanks, and went through the thicket like a streak of greased light ning. At the top of the hill overlook ing the thicket I stopped, and while the pony got breath I watched the thicket. I noted a shaking of the bushes in several places, and as there was neither cattle, horses, nor large game in the neighborhood that might account for the . movement of the bushes, I concluded there were Piutes I in thn t.hif.bet hut T had o.ome throuah ' " with such a rush that thev laiiea to get a shot at me. I opened fire on the spots where the bushes moved. They ceased to shake, and I was more than ever convinced that I had run an am- buscade. A lew days afterward two men were killed by skulking warriors in this thicket. "I never met the Piutes face to face hut once. Rounding the sharp shoul- der of a hill I was right in a camp ot them before I had noted a sign of In- I dians or they had seen me.

We have the right to expect of young men the high ideal, the hopeful aspira tion transmuted into action by high and strong and strenuous endeavor. And yet all this will go for nothing without a true and noble consecration. The man who succeeds is the man who ventures. "Nothing venture, nothing win" is wise motto, though the gamblers have misused it. The man who suc ceeds is the man who is willing to haz ard something for success, and the man who is never willing to hazard any thing for success remains on the dead level of mediocrity. When Luther went outside the walls of Nuremburg and burned the Papal Bull, he knew that up to that Time every man who had defied the Pope of Rome had paid the penalty with . his life and all his friends and followers had suffered with him ; but yet he risked, not only his life, but the peace of Germany and the welfare of those who gathered about him ; and nothing less than that would have aroused Europe from its long sleep. McClellan was a great engineer a great captain, a great organizer, but he was not a great soldier, because he was never willing to fight until there were no hazards to be taken; while Grant ran by the batteries of Vicks ruin nut himself off from his own DJ ' supplies, put himself between two ar mies, ran the risk of being ground be tween the upper and nether millstones and won the great battle which cut the Confederacy in two, because he had the kind of consecration of one who is wiinng to hazard a great failure in or I Aar- that, ha mav win a trreat success AndiRnces think oratorv verv easy, it a nothing but talking. But the man who really holds the attention ot his audience always goes upon the plat- form with a tremulous heart, and al wavs is willing to fail if need be, in or- der that he may succeed if he can The great achievements of history have been wrought by men whower willing to lav down their own lives that they might win life lor otners Courage, enterprise, force, the q uaiity that make a forlorn hope, is what we want in young men.

It is the imi age and the best country the world ever saw. While we sometimes allow our liberty to run into license, and oiten abuse the blessed privileges we enjoy, still this is not the fault of our system of government, but it is because of our own blindness or prejudice or stupidity or down-right meanness ! Here in North Carolina, for instance, we have a class who would be delight ed to muzzle the mouths ana tie the hands of another class, and who in days that are past did that very thing. But the sun of civilization rose higher and higher in our firmament, until now, one man has precisely as good a chance as another. The day of caste and rank s gone. The folks who once banked on the mniience ot tamuy name ana prestige are now silly snobs ; the stren uous idea of the equality of men has become dominant. The fittest has survived, and men of merit rather than men of money are in the lead. So it has come to pass that a blacksmith may have and express an - opinion as well as a lawyer ; and whether or not that opinion carries any weight de pends not at all on what its holder does or weais, but upon how much there is in it for the good of the community. All this is the direct result of that glorious doctrine so happily expressed in our Declaration .of Independence, Where else under heaven but in Amer- thia irUnl atnt.fi of things? Even in our late civil war, men were promoted too often because of their descent now the matter 01 ascent cuts a much larger figure. It is true in one or two instances the sons of big men were allowed to be figure heads, but for posts of importance men of personal merit were selected. Samp son was the son of a day laborer. Use of Birds in Millinery. In an article on the use of birds in millinery, in the September Ladies' Home Journal. Edward Bok says : It is the same way with the bird-millinery question. The agitation of this sub ject is both timely and wise, and the suppoi t of every man and woman hav ing a spju-k of humanity can be relied upon so long as radical measures are not resorted to as an end. The com mon sense and humane feeling of wo men must be appealed to and reached. The tenderness of a woman is unfail me. and once the American women fully realize the barbaric tortures which , 1 thaiT - t ne wearing 01 oiru yiumago hats mean to the birds, they will, of their own free will and accord, and by the use of their own common-sense, and a humanity wnicn never iau8 iu u.- mal woman, stamp out the outrages which are committed so that their headgear may receive ornamentation, But to insult a woman's intelligence and freedom of action by passing laws prohibiting her from wearing bird millinery cannot be otherwise than in effective. The American woman can not be told by law what she shall wear nn hr hat. nnv more than can the VU JV J " American man be told by law, with .nv Hncrree of effectiveness, what kind of leverages he shall put into his m0uth.
