DEATH OF ItEV. M. L. LITTLE.
Liueoln Courier.
Seldom are we cnileu upon to
chronicle a death more sad I ban tuat
of Eev. M L. Little, Prosidei.t of
Gaston College, Dallas, N. V. It
has been the pleubure of tbo writer
to know tiiis noble and fcood man
from the earlv days of oar youtb.
It has been our pleasure too to hnvo
been counected with biui in Hie
school room for the greater part of
hree years, during the large part of
which time we were with him in hie
family. To the writer he has ever
been a true and svaim lih ucl, ever
eady to lend a helping I and and to
offer words of encouragement.
ltev. .Little was a native of Ca
tawba county- Ht wan for 33i-
ber of ears a citizen of Lined
, ,
county, aud owned a plantation
about live miles from Lincolatcn,
which he sold only about a month
ago to Mr. Robert Willis.
In the year 1882 he was elected
Princioal of the Hih School at
Dallas, Gaston co-mtv. tie had not
been in charge of tins institution
long until it gave evidence ofgeit
success. Filled with ir-domUuble
energy, aud always aggressive, ar d
a'.wiys ready to pu-U forward, he
conceived the idea that there was
need of another building in order in
accommodate the iu 'reusing de
mands of his school. So soon as
this need wan f.dly felt he originated
a plan by which through unt ring
perseverance he succeeded in raising
enough stock to form a corporate
norrmnnv which brought about the
J C
f-rection of one of the finest school
buildings in Western Nottb Caro
lina, the cost of which, when com
pleted in lc'84, was about i10,000.
In 1886, the directors of the pghosj,
by virtue of its character, author?!!
the arrangement of a collegiate
course, and the conferring of de
grees upon those who should com
plete the course. The majority of
the students of the institution being
girls, it was decided in 1887 to open
the college only to girls, though by
sneeial arrangements a few ma!e
i .
students have been allowed to re
ceive instruction in the College
The pcbool has always been an

through many sections of this State
and in South Carolina, and there is
many a young man and young lady
especially in the Garolioas whope
hearts will be filled with the deepeet
sorrow because of the untimely
death of their beloved teacher and
friend, the founder of Gaston CcK
lege.
Rev. Little was a minister of the
Lutheran church and waa a member
of the Evangelical Lutheran Tenne?
spo Synod. Hifi influence was felt
throughout the boundaries of Lis
Synod and the church has lost s
faithful, zealous Christian worker
whose death causes a vacancy that
will be hard to supply.
He entered tbn ministry when
only 21 years o'd and was married
ibout the same, time to Mikr Can-
nce Ilermtn. of Cawba county.
T wa1' about 42 years of arje. and

The worrcoT the modern sculptor
is limited in expression and is a
most inferior order. In a few
years his soulless handiwork will
hardly compare with the cum
brous efforts ot Egyptian talent,
with the sphinxes of the desert
sands. The chaste beaut v of the
classic period is gone and with it
all that entitled Sculpture to a
place among her sisters. Our
restless age finds few admirers
for aught that symbolizes holy
rest or inward quietude. Its de
mand is the sensational, the
rhapsodic, the emotional. The
sculptor must discard the princi
ple of his art if he would please.
Only a few dilettanti vpv find
that delight in the Venus de. Mad
let or the Ajollo Belvedere which
one time thrilled a nation; so
that even if the modern sculptor
were disposed by talent or incli
nation to add his tribute to the
genius of the ancients, the taste
ot his age would forbid. So much
is due to the evolution of fancv
an evolution retrograding and
debasing in the extreme.
The cause of this decline is not
chargable wholly to lack of ap
preciation, or to indifference to
merit and beauty however exhib
ited. It is rather due to the
modern fashions of dress which
themselves display curious no

logue of nervous ailments common
to horses.
Prof. Liantard, of the New York
Veterinary College, contributes a
chapter that will probably attract aa
much attention aa any in the work.
His subject is lameness. He first
makes clear the anatomy and func
tions of all parts of the horses legs
and then describes the bone and
muscle diseases and accidents that
may occur following this with ad
vice as to treatment, both surgical
and medical

accumulated and digested expe- j
rience in trie matter 01 tract ures
that one of the best veterinarians in
the world has acquired. The color
ed plates illustrating splint, ring
bone, enavin, dislocations, aud meth
ods of bracing and slingiug injured
animals surpass anything before
seen.
The diseases of the ankle, fetlock.
and foot were treated by Dr. Hoi-
combe, who explains why horses "in
terfere'' and "kauckle," "overreach"
and "balk." No part of the book
could be of greater practical value
than this. The colored plates here.
also, are superb.
Old veterinarians pronounce the
Anzoa model of the equine foot per
fect in delineation ana color. Horse
men who will learn this chapter by
heart aud study the illustrations
thoroughly will save a good deal of
suffering in the horse world and add
not a little to the wealth of the coun-
tfy- rs.
Dr. agou has contributed an
article on shoeing that Senator Joe
Blackburn says is worth a million
dollars. It carefully examinines the
foot, Bhows just why a horse is shod
and how it is necessary to protect
the hoof, and lays down a few simple
rules that can be easily learned and
practised.
Dr. Dickson closes this chapter
with a suggestion that it is nearly as
important tbat blacksmiths should

eiiiprians, and ures thit in a mat
ter of such vast import sine to the
national wealth too little attention is
paid by the State to the care of the
most useful of all domestic animals.
The hope is expressed that chem
istry will devise some preparation
thst may be safely applied to the
hoof in a way to harden it into a
substance resembling horn, and al
low the horseman to yank off the
iron shoes aud drive his beast bare
footed. Iu this way the lightnesp.
strength, and elasticity of the horse's
foot would be regained.
Uncle Jerry is not wholly content
to rest on his laurels and stop with
his book on the diseases of horses.
He has mapped out another volume
on breeding and hopes to be able to
publish it in the course of a year.
Senator Stanford, iu speaking the
other day of horse breeding, said :
"Thare are 13,000,000 horses in
the United States, according to the
recent census. Imagine what a
value we could create if we improved
each one of this vast number of ani
mals so that the . individual was
worth $50 more than he is. This is
surely possible. 1 am President
of a street railroad in San Francisco
where we have hundreds of horses.
The average life of our animals was
three years. But one old hose
stood that hard life nine years His
service was bo exceptional that I
looked up bis record. I hired de
tectives to trace him from one sale
farm that raised him. I found his
sire was a horse with a pedigree. His
dam was of good blood, though not
standard. That explained the supe
rior usefulness of tbat horse to my
mind. He bad better bones in sub
stance, form, and length, better
muscles, better neryes, better heart,
lungs and digestive orgrns, and he
was worth $100 more on these acs
counts than any other horse we had
Now, I say tbat whether we raise
horBes for the plough or the track,
blood will tell, and is worth money,
iMectioneer earned 5ui,uuu a year
for me because he was a good horse.
The old street car horse earned
three times as much for us as his
fellows because he was a good horse.
Each in his place proved a great
truth, and it is time we all know it.
I think t: e Secretary's book is splen
did in scope, simplicity, and com
pactness.
"I hope hi will succeed as well
with that on breeding. It is quite
as much needed as the other. Both
mean the addition of millions to the
aggregate wealth of the country,
which, of course, in turn means un
told increase of comfort, intelligence,
rest and progress to man."
Highest of all ia Leavening Power.

ABSOIIJTEDf PURE
SENATOR RANSOM AND THE
CLOSURE RULE.
N. C. Intelligencer.
Iu a recent number of the InleiH
gercer werresoed the belief that
tSeuator V's diplomacy was
very tffeSiimi i",irii,.lbft"a
of the chjsure rule, aud, consequent
ly, the FrVie bill. A correspondent
of the Statesville Landmark, writing
from Washington under date of the
16th, coi firms our belief, and adds .
"I was told by a prominent North
Caiolina gentleman here last week,
that as a member of the Demosratic
committee to look after the closure
rule, 'Senator Ransom bad more to
do with the present status of that
odious measure than any other one
man in the Senate.1 I had been un
der the impression that Senator
Gormau was the moving spirit in
this important matter and gave him
credit for it in this correspondence.
I hasten with very great pleasure to
do justice to our distinguished sen
ior Senator. I have reason to belieye
that my informant referred tc above
was correct in his statement, and I
know him to be a thoroughly relia
ble and unusually cautious man.
Moreover, he is not prone to give
Senator Ransom credit unless he
knows he deserves it. By this one
act of diplomacy aud masterly gen
eralship, Senator Ransom has place 3,
not only our own Commonwealth,
but tne entire South, under the
weightiest obligation to him."

ihe aged General Harrison, though
occuring from natural causes, cannot
be counted, ir view of all the circum
stances, as aught but tragic. In
December of the next year, 1842,
occurred the tragedy of the United
Slates ship Somers the mutiny, the
trial by court martial and the execu
tion of three sailors, one of whom
was the son of the actual Secretary
of War. In June 1843, the Presi
dent with some of his Cabinet, jour
neyed to Boston to attend the cere
monies of the dedication of. Bunker
Hill monument; and there Hugh Le.
gare, Secretary of State, was stricken
with a mortal disease, and died. But
the tragedies of the administration
had not reached their climax. On
February 28, 1844, at the invitation
of Commodore Stockton, the Presi
dent, with his fiance, a Miss Gardi
ner, her father, and with the mem
bers of his Cabinet aud nearly 100
other persons of high official rank,
embarked on Captain Ericson,s
screw steamer Princeton, belonging
to the new Navy, to inspect the new
machinery, and to watch the firing
of the two great guns which the ves
sel mounted. On the trip down the
guns were fired twice. On the home
jvard trip, above Mount vernon,
preparations were made to fire a
third shot. Around the gun stood
nearly all the principal men who car
ried on tin Governm
States. iUe rur

for the breaking of his left ear drum.
SAVE MONET AND SUFFERING.
One feature of the thousands of
testimonials that have been given in
behalf of S. S. S. is remarkable. In
numbers of instances it is related
that a great deal of time and money
have been spent in a vain effort to
to 8esure relief from disease in the
usual way. A knowkedge of the vir
tues of Swift's Specific would have
saved the time and the money, to say
nothingof the preventions of the
suffering. There need be no suoh
mistakes madej now. The great
