Of coarse It Is not true that Captain De Wolfe is or will be a candidate for tnsyor sgalnst the regular nominee of the Democratlfl party. Capt.

I have told all those who bsve sp- proached me on the subject that on no! a eandldaU and my name will not be before ths convention." To suppose that Capt.

The people of Meriden, Conn, were bound to see Mrs. L.anrtrv on her re cent professional appearance In that city, but they did not propose to make themselves baukrupt by so doing. So they formed syndicates of about twenty persons each, and each syndicate bought one aamiasioo ticket, rne nrst man (by lot) of the syndicate went in and gMzed at her for live minutes, and then went out and gave his return check to number two. who in turn went in for a few minutes and then gave his check to number three, and so on until all the members or tbe syndicate had feasted their eyes upon the Lily.

A delpia, April 26 There was a large attendance at tbe Irian JM auon al Convention to-day. all tbe ; delegates seated and the seats in the galleries be ing filled. Shortly before twelve o clock ex-Mayor T V 1'owderly, 01 Scran ton, t'a, a noted labor leader, stated that as soon as the committed of seven arrived ine convention would be called to or der. A few minutes later Mrs Delia Parnell entered escorted by Alexander Sullivan, of Chicago, who introduced her amid tremendous applause as "a greater than the mother of the jfJrac- csi." A.t 12 o'clock: Sullivan, who Is a brilliant young lawyer of Chicago, at the request of ths committee of seven j and in pursuance of the official eaUj caned ine body to order and addressed ine convention. . After invoking Him in whose bands are the destinies of nations that the proceedings may be characterized by wisdom, toleration and prudence; thst tney may result in mat actual unity which alone will Insure substantial progress in securing justice for our motherland, he said: "We bold the anomalous position of being the only fairly and freely chosen parliament wnicn may assemble to consider tbe welfare of a wretchedly oppressed. plundered and misgoverned people and we are restrained at the same time from stepping outside the functions of aux iliaries to patriots who are heroically struggling at home and in an alien ami hostile legislature In the. vain nope of awakening tbe long suspended con science of a powerful and brutal foe. uow great are the possibilities, bow great tbe responsibilities of this con vention. e have met neither on one hand to dictate to our brethren in Ire land anything nor on the other band to apologize to them and our common enemy for anything, r We have met to organize and concentrate all the forces of our race, that their united strength shall be made potential in our national struggle. we nave met to solidly ail elements of our national syrnpathy.that hereafter mere snail oe an authorized body to speak not for a party, not for a man. but for united exiled Ireland. We have met to tell our brethren in Ireland that It is theiis to choose the road which leads to liberty and ours to msrch with them noon it. The Racial blood that flows in our veins shall feel the same pulse beat as theirs, and that beat shall be as firm and as stead v as the tap of a drum on the morning of battle. It is eminently proper that we should assem ble around tbe cradle of American In dependence, for in its achievements the Irish race won the first enduring tri umphs against tyranny, which it shall continue to resist until its clutch is loosened from civilization. In these precincts It is just that we should de clare inthe words of the organic instru ment or ine ttepaoitc that "all men are created free and equal." and that tbe political liberty we enjiv belongs equally to our kindred in Ireland. in these precincts tbe fathers of this Republic entered upon the discussion of tbe grave questions with a wide di versity or opinion, but with a single ness of aim. They contemplated many methods, but all tended to a common purpose. Their debates were protract ed and free, but they were conducted wim dignity and decorum, isr neither their silence nor their speech did they afford aid or comfort to the enemv. Grateful for their example let us enter upon our ouues wttn an overmastering sense of a high and holy responsibility. it was tne nooie ooastor me voung patriot who was sbout to sscend the scaffold that be bad wished to procure ror nis countrv tne guarantee that Washington had procured for America. In the spirit in which Robert Emmet died we live. In his words, we are -determined on delivering our native country from the yoke of foreign and unrelenting tyranny and to place her independence beyond the reach of any power on earth." That we mav have nnon onr delibera tions approval of the Almighty God and of all just men who have liberty. we must snow tn this parliament or our race, assembled in tbe City of Brotherly Love: that every party is less than the cause, that every Individual is esteemed below our country and that eveay xnsnman is a brother. His speech was most wsrmlv receiv ed. Tbe official call was read bv Rev Dr Rett s, who presided over the last National Convention in Chicago. Sul livan arose and said the nominations for temporary chairman was In order. siooney was recognized oy tbe chair. He nominated Rev Morris J Dornev.of Chicago, as a patriot priest, whose name is known to all irishmen. Col Michael Roland, of the committee of seven sec onded tbe nomination. Iter Father Retts. from the platform said that the character of the gentlemen who had nominated and aeoonded Father Dor ney seemed sufficient to Insure bis elec tion. Tbe mention of his name by tbe merest child would suffice that man was Father Dorney. --A man in the rear of the hall arose ' amid hisses and said : "It is not fair that things should be set op and nobody else . allowed an opportunity to say anything." .The chairman said an opportunity would now be offered - for further ' nomina tions. Tbe man then -nominsted Mr Finerty. of Chicago, but that gentleman arose and declined tbe. nomination. Father Dorney was elected without a dissenting vote. On being conducted to tbe chair Fstber Dorney said that in bis zeal he hoped he compensated for his voutb. and that he was forced to say that he" would nave preferred to De on me floor. lie thanked tbe newspapers for the kindness they had accorded to tbe Irish In their reports of this convention. This was a Parliament held by a people who ought to have another method of cbos- ing a A'arlisment. The Irish needed a a place in the estimation of the world hich bad hitherto been denied, them. Tbey were exiled from their fatherland ror me highest purposes ever placed before a people. As freemen let them take advantage of them all. let there be cherished a good, hearty, brotherly feel ing towards those who differ as to methods. Qld Capt. Jack Barry started the Amerioaa navv here. Let Irish men here start their Ship of 8tate.

And don't you forget iL RAILROAD RACKET. Important Changes of - Schedule A - Fast Train From Charlotte to Hew York Time: 21 Hours 52 and 53 to Go Back On. . - ; - - On the 13th day of May there will be an important change in the running of trains on the Richmond & Danville and Air Line roads, end two extra mail and passenger trains, Nos 52 and 53, are to be put j back on the run .between Charlotte ahd Atlanta. All this Is tbe result or tne session of the "time con vention." held last week at No. 48 Bond street. New York. ; It is supposed that the schedule ' on the Charlotte, Colom bia & Augt sta road will be changed to correspond with the changes on tbe R. & D. and Air Line, though we have no official information about that. By the new schedule trains on -the Richmond & Danville will ran as follows: ' : North-bound Passenger No. 51, will leave the Air Line depot at 3:30 o'clock a. m. No. 53 will leave the Air Line depot at 4:30 p. m as at present.-" South-bound Passenger train No. 50 will arrive at 1 :10 a. m. No. 52 will arrive at 12:10 p. nx, two hours earlier than the present schedule. Nos. 62 and 53 will be the fast trains between Charlotte and New York, and the schedule time will be 21 hours be tween these points, about four hours quicker than the old schedule. The time between Charlotte and Danville w ill be only five hours, one hour quicker than tbe old run. . The announcement that the Air Line day trains are to be put back on is official and may be relied upon. The trains were discontinued last fall, and ever since that time a periodical rumor would be heard first in Atlanta and next in Charlotte that tbey were to be resumed at such and such a day, until by and by it got to be a standing joke and the public soon ceased to pay any attention to it. But now that it is officially announced, the people will hail the news with delight. A New Traia et Cars. Capt. T. 3. Clarkson. one of the Char lotte, Columbia and Augusta's best known conductors, is now running a brand new passenger train, turned out from the company's shops at Columbia. The exterior of the cars is painted a beautiful shade of red. and the interior is most tastefully finished in white maple and black walnut. The cars are lighted at night by double lampa,nickel plated, and of a very pretty pattern. The entire car, including baggage car. is new, and all the work was done at the company's shop in Columbia. ; It is a credit to Southern workmanship and skill. The Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta is now running two; brand new trains, and their cars are generally rtmatked upon as being the most hand somely finished of any that run into Charlotte. A Ressarkable Trance. About ten days ago a colored woman was admitted to the county poor bouse, for refuge and treatment, es she was without home or friends and was suffer ing with a peculiar malady' denomina ted by the medical men, hysterio-cata- lepsy, or what is commonly known as a trance. Since the day of her admittance to the poor house she has stubbornly resisted all food or stimulants, and has swallowed nothing but a little water. Dr. Byers has been trying to get some medicine down her to awaken her from her trance, but unsuccessfully. She is as hearty and strong now as on the first day and the only question is bow long she can last. Some say that she can hold out for a montb.'but it is generally thought that she will get tired of it be fore that time. The City Election. The political excitement waxed hot yesterday for the first time since the approaching municipal election came to be discussed,' and yesterday may properly - be called the opening day of the campaign. It was rumored on the streets in the forenoon that 4CapL F. S. De Wolfe had signified his intention to run independent and his friends made open boast of the fact. This news was not long in spreading over the city and it was the general subject of conversa tion on the streets. A reporter of this paper, desiring to fret at tbe truth of the matter, approached Capt. De Wolfe on the subject and asked to be enlight ened. ":Vu''Cfw. . 'i'V "I am not a candidate now," he re plied, -but I won't say that I will not be, and if I do run," he continued, "you may bet Pm going to be elected." a city official yesterday told the re porter that a petition was being circu lated foreigners asking Capt. DeWolf e to run, and that it had been signed by over a hundred voters, but If each a petition is In existence we have been unable to catch Bight of It. .The proba ble candidature of Capt. De Wolfe, In the face of his card of a few days ago, positively declining to run, has livened np things considerably and .put the old pot to boillnsr over all of a sadden. From the best information 'the reporter could gather on the streets yesterday, there is no alarm In the Democratic camp. The old party will stand np bravely for W. C Maxwell, the nominee, and will elect him triumphantly over all opposition. . -;v -.-, .-, .a;;y Hotel ArriTsJs. . ... Cbntbax. Uotkx.-S. C Townsend, W.D.Brown, Baltimore; C. Johnson, New York; W.J.

The Sanrear Method af Teaching Lan- suag-es ' : . ; : - i We are glad to know that Miss L. W. Long, of our city, has been employed to teach French in the University Normal School during Its next session. iMissL. has been a pupil of Prof. Sauveur, and she will illustrate his method of teach Ing the French language. The Sauveur method is the only nat ural system , ot learning a language. corresponding point for point with the way in which a child learns his mother tongue. English is banished from the class-room until the . pupil is ready for translation. The ear is trained and the words. Idioms and indefinable spirit of the langusge are rapidly, caught. Join ed to this training, constant p.actice in reading and writing from dictation and from memory f urn sh the best possible substitute for the study of French in France. At least half of the pupil's time is saved, and the other half occu pied to much better advantage than in the old method, since it exercises not his memory alone, but his reason and imagination. Not the least of the good results obtained is the habit of close attention acquired by tbe pupils, who find continually something to interest and to excite. The immediate practi cal use to which he puts his newly ac quired treasures gives' a feeling of in tense satisfaction and ' consequently ly makes an indeliole Impression. One who has tried it could never be induced to return to the ineffably dry occupation of copying page after page of exercises,Xo the effect that "the car penter's brother's new coat is at the bouse of the booksellers cousin," etc. The fundamental idea being that- from tbe start the language to be taught must be used as the only medi um of instruction, the proper time for learning grammar does not come till the" student has learned to speak, read and spell ; then he welcomes It and studies with enthusiasm what would previously have been uninteresting and almost incomprehensible, r After the grammar he is ready for the classics and capaple of reading with pleasure. This is no longer a theory but an es tablished fact ; experience has proved that one learns more rapidly and more surely in this way. The method has been thoroughly tested In many of the best schools and colleges with the most satisfactory results. At the Charlotte Institute for Young Ladies and at Peace Institute, Raleigh, it has entirely superceded the old method ; years of trial having proved its worth, neither teacher nor pupils could be persuaded to give it np. The most ardent disci ples bf this system do not claim that It works miracles. We do not assert that one. can thoroughly master a language in six weeks, or in six months, but. we know that it removes many obstacles from the learner's path and greatly les sens his labors. In the, hands of a spirited teacher it produces marvelous. results; bat he must be apt to illustrate and always on the alert to seize and to Improve every opportunity to impress an idiom and to stimulate the ambition of his pupils. ! Should any one doubt the truth of the remarks, let him ! go to Amherst, Mass, in July and seeing Dr. Sauveure College of Languages in operation, be convinced that "there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in philosophy." i , jfror. liocher. of Harvard- College, says : "It is not superficial. On the con trary, I know of no system that calls up more mental activity In both teach er and pupils. There is nothing me chanical or merely formal in it. It lends Litaelf to the highest teaching. Even the grammatical knowledge im parted by this method is broader than la rr v.n h. anw stthov" What is this storv about Dr. Mott being in town, and "Democrats" being closeted with Radical politicians and office holders on the subject of the may oralty y -is this a dajjer I see before mer .
