It seems to be a most extraordinary season for fish along onr North Caro lina waters, as indicated by the following which appeared in the New Berne Fish a Phnty. ple yesterday to transport the immense catch of fish from Morehead and Beaufort. It is reported that more fish are being caught down there now every day than can be handled ; one hundred and fifty barrels of mullets were allowed to spoil at a fishery a day or two ago because of the want of facilities for handling them. Another crew gaye away a hundred barrels of the same kind ot fish to any one that would carry them away. The lar gest hauls are made at some fisheries about twenty miles down the coast from Beaufort. A member of a crew, as bis share of roe taken from one day's catch, received enough to bring him $110 in cash right onjthe shore." ttxt An English woman has written some very pointed things about the rest less American, and to the question, "Can a man who hurries be a good husband ?" The World A Hurrying Husband. in Chicago, takes it up, and while agreeing that Americans may seem all in too much hurry, still thinks that a man who hurries need not necessari ly be a bad husband. It eays that there are some American husbands who run to catch crains and even "hustle" for a seat who treat their wiyes and children as kindly as do their English brethren. Continuing, The World To-day says : "Nevertheless, there is an element of truth in the criticism. The American has a great deal to struggle against when, after the constant strain of the day's work, he tries to relax, to play the loyer to his wife and to enter into the simpler life of the home. That he so often succeeds in the attempt is a tribute not only to the essential manliness of the American man, but to the tact and patience of the American woman. We get along a great deal better than might be expected by an unsympathetic observer, but we could get along better if we gave more time to the effort." till "Brains may be more important than money.but nowadays the best way to convince the world that you have brains is to make money." Money Measure of Success. dents within the past year. And there is no question abjut the truth of the statement. A man's power to matte money is the criterion by which the world judges him. It is a humiliating fact, but nevertheless a fact, crs latter ysaio character does not always count as much 'n a ; man's favor as Lie money. It has not always been so and it is to be hoped that there will yet be a reversal of tbe world's opinion and that the power of money making will not remain the standard by which a man's ability is judged. "Worth in character makes worth in life," we remember was the subject of an anniversary oration by a student at Wake Forest college some twenty years ago or more ; and evsn within that period such a theme was regarded as most fitting tor such occasion. But if that same student could call bacii the years and stand before au audience on a similar occa sion his theme would be just as appropriate to the thought ot the times if he were to make it : "Ability to make money is the world's standard of a successful life." There is no question that tbe tendency to mage money the chiei good among men is becoming dangerous to the real manhood ot this land. N:iy,it is not only becoming dangerou?,thebreak-neck speed of the race -for money is already a serious menace to the maintenance of good charac ter. Men everywhere are selling their bodies and their souls for a mess of p.ot'.ase la the form of mortgages, checks and bonds ; .and it Is not an un common thing to hear one man say of another, "He will etocp to any thing for the sake of a dollar." Right about us every day men judge their fellows by their power to make money, and men who are regarded as good men ireely place this false estimate on their neighbors. It is high time that we should throw aside this false standard and place value on men's real character rather than upon their ability to drive sharp-bargains where by! they get the credit of being successful. There are some other things by which io judge a man's real value to the world besides property which he controls or the bank account to his credit. xttx ' Dr. Bassett, instructor iu History in Trinity college, has recently and suddenly come into prominence by reason of an extraordinary utterance in print. He is editor of the South Atlantic Quar Er. BaSSett and BooXer. anrJ jn an articie in that journal headed "Stirring up the Fires of .Race Antipathy," he gaye expression to ideas that are not held by any Southern man yei heard from. Dr. Bassett's article was a long one and there is not space here to review It even. Among the striking things he said were these : That the negro race will yet gain equal ity with the white race ; and that Booker Washington is tbe greatest man born in the South during the past hundred years except Robert E. Lee. To be sure, the press of the State and the.wbole South is excoriating Dr. Baesett for his mistaken views and ill-timed expressions. He has been drubbed on all sides and that vigorously, and he ought to be. He is repre sented as being an able man and a high-toned Christian gentleman, but somehow he has missed the mark a long way in his opinion of the negro race and in his judgment of great men in the South. About the most ex pressive comment we have seen on his article is the following taken from the Biblical Recorder, which is mild and yet pungeni : "As we surmised, Dr. Baasett's article 'Stirring up the Fires of Race Antipathy,' has become the subject of sensation. It is the most radical, deliberate utterance that has been heard from a Southern man, and we are not snrprieed that the pro tests against it are vigorous and passionate. Dr. Bassett holds that the ne gro will yet win equality ; and he declares Booker Washington the greatest man born in the South in a hundred years. He also predicts conflict and trouble. Tbe negpo neyer will win equality, North or South. He has lost for years steadily in the North, and he has had nothing to lose in the South. We deeply regret that Dr. Bassett arises at this time to fire the ne gro race with this delusion a time when the negro is getting rid of it. Nor do we believe Booker Washington so great a man. He is the greatest negro up to date, but any comparison with white men is defective and nn- called for. If Washington were a while man and had white men to cope with, a comparison could be made. How much ot his distinction and emi nence is due to 6he dark background against which he stands, no one can estimate ; but our impression is that were he white he would be practically unknown. We hope that the Trinity professor will reconsider and revise bis utterance. Of his good intentions there can be no doubt. He is act ing under humane impulses ; but hia conclusions are false to the faots and to his better nature."

C!a every i n i m r r r - OH, WHY SHOULD THE SFZBZT OF MOETAL BE PEOUD ? WILLIAM KNOX. William Knox, a young poet of con siderable talent, was born in Scotland, in 1789, and died in Edinburgh in 1825, at the age of 36. Author of Tbe Lonely Hearth, Songs of Israel, The Harp of Zion, etc. His father was a respectable yeoman, and be himself succeeding to good farms under the Duke of Buccleuch, became too soon his own master, and plunged into dissi pation and ruin. His talent , then showed itself in a fine strain of pen sive poetry. Knox, spent his later I years n Edinburgh under bis father' ' roof, and amidst all his errors was ad mirably faithful to tbe domestic af fection, a kind and respectable son, and ah attached brother. The poem here quoted was much admired by Abra ham Lincoln, who often repeated and referred to it. Oh, why should tbe spirit of mortal be proud? Like a swift-fleeting meteor, a fast-flying cloud, A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave, He paseeth from life to his rest in the grave. As the young and tbe old, tbe low and the high, Shall cruor.ble to dust and together shall lie. The leaves of the oak and the willow shall fade, Be scattered around, and together be laid ; The Infant a mother attended and loved, The motherjthat infant's affection who proved. Tbe father that mother and infant who blest Each, all, are away to that dwelling ol rest. The maid on whose brow, on whose cheek, in whose eye, Shone beauty and pleasure her triumphs are by ; And a!ik3 from tbe minds of living erased Are the memories of mortals who loved her and praised. The head of the king, that the sceptre hath borne ; The brow ot the priest, that tbe mitre hath worn ; The eye of the sage, and the heart of brave Are hidden and lost in tbe depths ol the grave. The peasant, whose lot was to sow and to reap ; The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up the steep ; Tbe beggar, who wandered in search of his bread Haye faded away like the grass that we tread. So the multitude goes, like the flower or weed, That withers away to let others succeed ; So the multitude comes, even those we behold, To repeat every tale that has often been told. For we are tbe same that our fathers have been ; We see tbe same sights that our fath ers have seen ; We drink the same stream, and e feel tbe same snn, And ran the same coarse that our fathers have run. The thoughts we are thinking our fathers did think ; From the death we are shrinking onr fathers did ahrink ; To the life we are clinging our fathers did cling. But it speeds from us all like a bird on the wing. They loved but tbe story we cannot unfold ; They scorned but the heart of the haughty Is cold ; They grieved but no wall from their slumbers will come ; They joyed but the tongues of their gladness is dumb ; They died ah ! they died we, things that are now, That walk on tbe turf that lies over their brow, And make in their dwelling a transient abode, Meet the things that they met esr their pilgrimage road. Yea, hope and despondency, pleasure and pain, Are mingled together in sunshine and rain ; And tbe smile and tbe tear, and the s ng and the dirge, -Still follow each other like surge upon surge. the wink of an eye; 'tis the to ths draught of a breath From the blossom of health paleness of death, From tbe'gilded saloon to tbe bier and the Bhroud ; O, why should the spirit of mortal be proud ? you know' what you are T.ti !
