Catered at the Poet one at Nr 6 asseeoad-claes natter ; EWM)ATI0N AND PROTECTION Tber;e are talismanio words that arouse the spirit and charm the soul. Dear to every heart, they have been converted by Repnbli cans into party shibboleths. Education in Republican methods comprehends a knowledge of po litical ledgerdemain by which a man can be robbed aud i'eel that be has been benefited by it, and iho returns of a State can he ma nipulated nntil the defeated be lieve that they are the victors and can prove it by the actual situa tion. Bat passing by such absurdities, it is pleasing to know that educa tion and protection are advancing. The disciples are not limited to any class or confined to any territory. Mr. Blaine is always in quest of knowledge, and he sometimes learns what he does, not wish to know, from unexpected quarters. Re cently he inquired of the Oommer cial Exchange, of Philadelphia, how to form closer relations with South America, and the Exchange replied : admission into this coun tritOall raw or manufactured ma terial absolutely free of duty from Haid countries, no matter whether such material be intended for direct consumption or for use in the arts and sciences, or for subsequent manufacture; provided reciprocal action is takeu by said govern tnents touching our goods im ported into their jwrts. ''We unquestionably condemn the payment of bounties or sub sidies to efther steamship or sailing lines other than the proper and generous compensation for carry ing the mails, but recommend the relief, of vessels engaged in the trade" from all charges as iar as practicable, and the allowance of Americans to buy foreign bottoms and sail them in foreign trade, only under the American flag, and the establishment of direct rapid com munications between the several interested countries lor the con veyance ol mails, passengers and goods." NOM Mr. Blaine is o wiser if not a happier man. But protection is the uuigic word of tne Republican party. The poor man sees it and believes that it is the shield that will protect him from the chilling winds of poverty, and the weak bear it and fly to it as a refuge against the strong. But "protection" in the political sense is "a claim of right to tax the great mass of the people for the particular benefit of the few; and this on the assumption that later all will come in for a share of tho blessing." The pro tectionists, without the slightest regard to the powers conferred upon Congress, and in disregard of the powers actually conferred, boldly assert it. to be the duty of that body to impose taxes for the pur pose , of securing a monopoly to manufacturers. The Democracy is advancing to tb(resue ot education and protec tion. Its motto is eduoation and protection for all 1 The New Eng lander and the Southron i the Wan'fifacturet and the farmer ; the merchant' and the artisan every American citizen the recipient of eqnal rights and privileges. no' luau yucuuuuB tuo nguiui the government to levy taxes (or the legitimate expenses of govern ment; on the. contrary, every good citizen is read; to pay , Lis part to the expenses ?of the go vera men t economically administered, bat the ngnt to tax tor tne protection ox private interest its a monstrous doctrine that cannot stand in the light of an enlightened public senlt ment.

What is JBoage Banks T It is that portion of Oartere county, ly ing between the Government prop erty, known as ort JUscoa. t and Boguetalet, on the Onslow bay. itognaaoond Jnterveninc between the banks and main 1 land. It is sublime, the sublime and ' beautiful have always been : (jlaaeed , ; by thinkers as the noblest! of : human tastes, sublimity, decking its self in majesty, arousing feelings ' 'ftf , & i a. i j. t ! ' reverence, wmie oeauiy, ,iu us j ar rays of Color and form, charms and delights our senses forever. Nature has revealed both in her panorama of scenery without the seasons in this particular instance, and favored spot. Here, her hills resembling the snow capped peaks ot the Blue liidge mountains. And yonder the dark blue sea with its flashing waters gravitating to her very hill sides, attest the sublime and beautiful handiwork of the great Architect of the universe. It animates nature. It reveals facul ties in their highest tastes. These banks are wonderful in many instances, for scenery, fish ing and gaming, birds, deer, coons, etc., abound, and are happy and contented in their own nativity having never been disturbed by filling of the forest, only to hear the thrill of the whistle of some pass ing steamer, we not only fiud the deer, birds, etc , but lu re we find docile cows standing in the bntter with their civilized cousins who has relented her fierceness and servejas a milky mother for the benefit of man. It is also a fine stock farm, with its many nacural marsh pas tures. Here we liud tho nutive horse, known as the pony, reared without mechanical food, or shelter, the horse noted for his sublimity, and beauty, the great creator him 4elf refers to him as embodiment of glory and power. "Has thou given horse strength, has thou clothed his neck with thunder," Need the cow, steam, electricity and motors may come and go to be supperceed ed yet the glorious horse, God's greatest gift to mat), will never hault nor pass away, just as proud ly as Bucephalus, bore Alexander to conquer the world, did the Southern war horso bore Stonwall Jackson to the front. This island near Morehead City, acceptable by water, can be utilized and made one of the finest deer parks in the world. A thousand deer can be well cared for on them. Parties wishing particulars can get them by addressing G. W. Smith, Palo Alto, N. 0. imiFlfein Washington The "Drummer Evangelist'' be gan a series of meetings in this town at the Presbyterian church Monday morning the 27th, of Oo tober. Trom the first he had a crowded house which became more densely packed each morning and evening to the close, last night the 5th. Daring the meeting there were two hundred and fifty con versions. I do not think in the history of this town has there ever been such a religious victory in the same lengtti or time. Certainly not ia tho last thirty years. The U.. -fit- , . . resuiin oi me man s wont is to mv i 1 .. . . t ... . minu a wonaer, wnen it is consid ered he has only been engaged in regular work for a little more than- four mouths. There is something aoout uim wnicn is uitaciut to ex plain, indeed it passes an explana tion, but the chiefe8t means of his strength is his intense earnestness: n t i i . ii rv iieu ue prays ne taiKS as It talk ing to God and Christ standing be fore him. There is a marked dif- ference between his style in prayer ana in speecn, ne is much stronger in prayer to our mind than he is in bis discourses standing. Bis il lustrations are one of his best weap ons, they are given always with great interest, directly to the point and with great effect. His is in deed an incomprehensible power, for power he undoubtedly possesses. He reads a passage of Scripture as his text so to speak, yet in five minutes will be away from his sub ject still all the while dealing blo ws ana using arguments: Which are brought right home to one's heart and reason. He is sometimes severe, bnt seldom caustic. During a series of meetings twice a day for nine aays only 'twice did he say things which could to any particu lar individual leave a sting, in this I am told he is very different irom Sam J ones. As an orator his style win again almost pass explanation, sometimes the man fa very eloquent Voice always or nearly so pitched ia one key. Here in line, with his styly we will again be permitted to reter to his powerful .illustrations, they are told in 1 eloanenoe. oiten- times, making the young and old wipe a tear which U found involun tarily stealing along the cheek. He la undoubtedly a born leader. Be said, here he had ; been a leader in the devils service, he prayed God he might be a general ia Bis ser vice; judging from the results ot the man's work; his prayer is beinx answered. The religious center of tuts town was shaken,-: men and women, oia ana- .young, ;, were iroaaeaVbroaght to their felt and putto work; persons out of Christ from hiareachlflg'.re'aTIzed their danger 1 and f sought -peace tand safety: ;men.bv the , lyo hun dreds said theywon.ld in iuture. refrain fxomt the-i osft of awbte keyviBis .meetiog&wa'4ndeddf success, and it Is believed, certain. ly hoped, the reaulta will be lasiiug, in order. tj6'maket it JasUng Je raisea a land of three hundred and eighty-cne dollars with -which; to organize a Young .Men's ' Christian Association," and pat; bis young male converts at once in gear, we believe God is with this man, and u ao j. wno .; osn - be against him Speaking for ourselves we are heart and soul with him. One of his converts is Mr. Geo. A. Sparrow, a very prominenr attorney, in this section of the State ; it is thought be will engage in the ministry, if so we predict for him an illustrious future. Be will take with him into that work what too few of the minis try have: rare powers as a speaker, a rail and thorough knowledge of daman nature acquired after varied and long experience in his chosen profession. Understanding men's weak points learned as a lawyer, and in the ways of the world, he will know how to ad dress himself in attack upon the weak part of their fortification in sin. E. S.

Then I triad B. B. B and its effects were magical'. ' I cheerfully recommend it &a a good tonic and quick cure." Mrs. Matilda Nichols, Enoxvillei Tenn., writes: "I had catarrh six years and a most distressing cough, and my eyes were much swoolen. Five bottles of B. B. B., thank God! cured me." John M. Davis, Tyler, Texas, writes: "I was subject a number of years to spells of inflammatory rheumatism, which six bottles of B. B. B., thank heaven, has entirely cured.
