Soon the nu- t;3icrou balconies and windows on Fay nille street were crowded with ladies, fjthe street from the Yarboro House , .j,e Capitol was lined with dense -cuds of people expectantly awaiting i exercises of the day. Gallant mar- dashed back and forth on gorgeous jofe, and military companies formed in cks and manoeuvred here and there pre- ratorv to falling iato line for the grand cade. At 1 1 o'clock Governor-elect hwle was escorted to the Executive mion by the , committee of arrange- L3ts, when both houses of the General ijsemblv were notified of the readiness of t procession to proceed to Stronach's rehouse, where the imposing inaugural jremony was to take place. Both houses fth Legislature then proceeded down iretteville street to the warehouse, being ovtl by the procession. The proces- on was formed as follows: Platoon of o!ice, Charlotte, Wilmington and Golds- oro bands, military escort, carriages. In e first carriage rode Gov.-e!ect Fowle Gov. Scales, Senator King, chairman of e inaugural committee, and Capt. An- Tcnv, chief of the staff. In the second image were Mrs. Governor Scales, Miss e!en Fowle, Col. T. W. Strange and Ir.

The procession moved )wn Kayetteville to the music of the tads, proceeding to the Stronach ware- ?e. The mammoth building was pro- -SUV cecorated with tate and isationai Jr.s. A large and commodious elevated atform, holding one hundred chairs, had erected for the convenience of spec- 'ly-invited guests, Congressmen and 5cer. Immediate! v in front of the Dlat- . ------- rm were seateel the General Assembly : North Carolira, while the remainder of e large warehouse was densely thronged h citizens visitors and the attending npanies of the State Guard. Fully ooo people were present in and around e building. At 12.30 o'clock Gov.-elefct 'aniel G. Fowle, with the committee of wguration and escort, entered the hall took seats on the platform, when a -nd of applause was given by the audi ce. The place presented a magnificent 'fle. The mpmhprc rf bnth linnccc nf Legislature, as above stated, were in front of the rostrum. The fac- and younz ladies of both St. Mary's Peace Institute were present, while reds of the fairest ladies and most pmguished citizens of North Carolina ded the vast hall to its utmost. Prayer was then offered, after which Oath of office was administered bv Pki Justice Smith. Governor Scales n advanced, . with Governor Fowle on his arm, and said : "Ladies and rJemen, I have the honor and the sat- tion of introducing to vou the Cover- longed and resounding round of ap- and shouts went up fro.Tt the vast' "sibled multitude as a greeting to lina's new Governor. As Governor advanced to the front of the ros- the applause grew louder and louder 'i?C matnmotn building shook from its Rations When quiet had been restored, CCrnr Fowle in h0"1 rich magnetic f eloquent tones, began his inaugural ad- which we publish elsewhere in full, proceeded with his eloquent address, U K-M trC rcclucnl outbursts of applause. .. hi reference to Scales, Jarvis and the audience cheered enthusiastic- lJ of increasing the efficiency of the :nguished men present pronounced the address one of the greatest efforts of Judge Fowle's life. It was eloquent, manly and conservative, patriotic and statrsman likcj and the thousands of North Carol!- nians who were present were prouder of Governor Fowle after hearing his inaugural address than ever before. At the close of the address the band played "The Old North State Forever' while deafening ap plause aad shouts of "Long Live Governor Fowle" filled the hall. On the conclusion of Governor Fowle's addsess, Lieutenant-Governor Stedman dis missed both branches of the General Assembly, whereupon Senator King, the chairman of the inaugural committee, an nounced that Governor Fowle would hold an informal reception on the rostrum. Im mediately Governor Fowle was besieged by hundreds of - friends, eager to shake his hand. The members of the Geneial As sembly and ladies and gentlemen came forward in crowds to tender their congrat ulations to the new Governor. One of the most charming feature of the whole day was seen when the crowd had somewhat cleared away and the young ladies of both Peaee Institute and St. Mary's marched up on the rostrum and filed by the Gov ernor, each one giving him . a squeeze by the hand, and Governor Fowle never looked happier in his life, and we dare say never was happier than while thus the ob ject of this myriad of smiling, blushing, charming and widsome girls. It was a most charming wind-up of the happy occasion. How to Escape Sorrow. We often spend a great deal of time be waling grievances, which might be em ployed to much better advantage. There is a luxury of the woe in which people in dulge which rarely benefits others or them selves. We do not mean sourness, grumb ling -or melancholly. It is not that; it is of those secret, thoughts of the heart that we peak, which, like the dark outlines of a rock in the depth of a pool, lie only on the bottom and are entirely unseen on the surface. We ponder on our many trials. when it would be much better, figurativelyi or even literally to be on our knees thank ing God. If we but stop to think what he has done for us we ca.i hardly help smiling even in the midst of tears it is too much. Nothing is so certain to bring genuine, happy smiles to our faces as lo watch them glow in those of others, as the result of our sympathy, our gentle words or hope ful deeds. Who ever did a real kindness for another without feeling a warm glow of satisfaction creep into some shady cor ner of the heart and fill it with sweetness and peace? It is liketyinga not of violets, and mignonet into the button, hole, just where their perfume may rise deliciously to our sense all day. And what a pleas n re it will be when the present trouble is over, to remember even in darkest days we found time and inclination to give to others some portion of that teuderness or practical helpfulness which was the overflow of that generous spirit which -"finally bore us through it all to a happy and peaceful eud ing! "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep." The Vote. Harrison received 233 electoral votes and Cleveland 16S majority for Harrison 65. If New York had voted as it should have done Cleveland would have received 206 ard Harrison 197. The Northern States that voted for Cleveland were Cont neticut and Del ware. But there is one comfort. Cleveland received fully a mil lion majority of the white votes cast The negroes elected Harrison. He ought to give them a Cabinet appointment and other high places if he is grateful. Cleve land would have betn elected but for the needless machinery of the electoral col lege. Queen - Victoria intends to place an equestrian statute of the late Emperor Frederick In Winsdor Great Park, in close proximity to the statue of the Prince Consort. Consumption Snrtlj Cured.

Senator Harris has been nominated in Tennessee. The nomination is equivelent to an election. Vestibule trains will soon be running be tween New Orleans and the City of Mex ico in 72 hours. We do not suppose Mr. Harrison will hereafter pay much attention to the North Carolina Republicans. Pretty steep! Strawberries sell in New York city for $11 a quart, and you must furnish your own cream and sugar at that Londau is aggitated over the possibiliry of a rupture between Germany and the United Stares, growing out of the Samoan affair. According to the views of the Baltimore Manufacture's Record the South is to be the "future centre of the world's iron and steel trade.

William Holloway,of Indianapolis, whe is a shrewd politicion, is authority for the statement that Blaine and Piatt will have place in the new Cabinet. Capt. Henry Jackson, a Georgia lawyer. has declined an offer of $2o,ooo a rear to go to New York city and become council for an insurance company. It is gratifying A report comes that White Caps have shown their hands at Bridgeport, Conn., and warned prominent club men in that city to spend evenings at home once in a while. The Charlotte Chronicle speaks in great praise of the Cleveland reform which has given a "backset to the bustle." It was al ways our impression heretofore that the bustle had a bacset when first introduced. "I don't say marriage is a failure," said Adam candily, as he sat down on a log jus outside the Garden of Eden and looking hungrily at the fruit on the other side of the wall, "but if I hed remained single this wouldn't have happened. Editor McCIure of the Philadelphia Times, says that the Scotchirish Congress to assemble in Columbia Tenessee, next May, will be a gathering of the race that has done more in propotion to its. numbers than any other for civilization. In the opinion of ex-Cheif justice McCIure of the Arkansas Supreme Court, an able Republican, the true solution of the; race problem is found in continueing the ballot to the negro but not to permit him to hold office. A Frenchman says he has discovered how to make pure gold by combining sil ver and copper under sunlight. With $30 he can make $720. The philosopher's stone has at last been discovered, may be. The Frenchmans name is Tiffereau. Evidently the Duchess of Malboro firds her title expensive. She has applied to a New York Court for $300,000 out of her allowance. She wants to buy a London home and maintain the dignity of her po sition and all these things come high. The New York World is to send its own "commissioner," Thomas A. Stevens, to Africa, to find Stanly and Emin. He is a bycycolist and circled the globe on an iron steed. In a f?w months it will be the Herald's turn to send some one to find Stevens. Ther were 245 railroad companies organ ized in the South during iSSS. North Car olina is credited with five of these. Ala bama leads with thirtv-nine. Then comes Georgia with thirty eight, Tennessee wiih thirty-one, Texas with twenty-eight, Ken tucky nineteen, Virginia sixteen, South Car olina six &c. The Governor of Michigan, in his last message, recommended the system of inde terminate prison sentences. In other words he proposed that no convict be sentenced for a definite period, but that the length of all stntences should depend upon the beha- havior of the prisoner and the evidences which he gave of repentence and reform. We congratulate Col. Cowles very hear tily on his success in probably securing a prompt report of his internal revenue bill to the House and action thereon by the members individually and collectively. We shall be enabled to see again the hol lowness of Republican pretences with res pect to repeal of the law maintaining' the odious system. Dr. Lyman Abbot, who is Ward Beech- ers successor in Plymouth Church does not "draw.' The receipts for 1SS8, were $20,783,01. Beecher once raised $68,000. Its average In his time was $40,000. There are no many Beechers. Dr. Abbott, how ever, is an exceptionally able and scholarly Divine. He is a sort of free-thinker or a disciple of the so-called New Theology. A mysterous German nobleman died in Washington last week and" left a will bequeathing $90,000 to three gentlemen in Tennessee. The will is in proper formi duly signed and attested, but the legatees have been unable to locate the $90,000. It is a very exasperating situation. They ara entitled to $90,000 unless the myster ious German nobleman was a practical joker. McCIure, of the Philadelphia Times, thinks that Mr. Cleveland will be a strong Presidential possibility for 1892 if the next fight is on the tariff. Hs says he does not share the popular impression that Hill is the strongest Democrat in the paity. If New York Is to determine the matter of who shall be the Democratic candidate, and the democracy mean to make an hon est, square fight for principle, Mr. Cle re fill necessarily be a strong man in the Convention to nominate.
