Misunderstanding Day.

10 all outward appearance, yesterday might have
easily been mistaken for Sunday. The streets were as
quiet and business fully suspended The members of
the different Churches attended public worship about
punctualIy, with their Sunday gotO-meetmg garments
and faecs on If any body exceeded bounds in the Oh
be-ioviul way we did not see it. The whole orderly
and impressive.
The Grand Lodge Of North Carolina, L. o. o. F.
being in session here this week celebrated the occasion
by marching in procession, in company with Cape Fear
Lodge and Others members of the Order to the Metho
dist Episcopal Church on Front Street, where ably
written lecture in exposition and defence of the prnc
pies of the ORDER was delivered by Rev DR. Cummings
of Asheville y. {.
The day wound up by supper and ball. For
the quality of the supper it is sufficient to say that it
was gotten up by Mr.. Holmes, who knows how to do
these things as they ought to be done. The ball or
party was ALSO we learn, very pleasant affair. We
trust that our visitors enjoyed themselves.
BHtz gave two entertainments, in the afternoon
and the other in the evening" both well attended be-
licve That in the evening We know Some Of the
tricks we had seen before perhaps, but they were so
we'll done as to justify repetition others were new,
and to ua, astonishing for do not belong to that
sharp class Of mortas who see through everything or
those still more unreasonable who think it wrong to
be pleased on to acknowledge il. We considered our
selves fully repaid for the time spent and were happy
to see the uncomfortable enjoyment OF young America,
masculine aud feminine. The Signor may be seen to-day
and tomorrow both afternoon and evening.

Painful Occurrence,

Last night somewhere in the neighbOrhoOd oil twelve
O'clock very painful occurrence took place at the cor
ner Of Second and Market streets. gentleman named
W. Ii. Robinson Of Philadelphia, fell from fourth
story window of the cast end OF the Carolina Hotel,
striking on the railing of the steps leading up on the
outside 10 the second story the lower story being occu-
pied by store He finally lit on the pavement, and
when taken up was found to have had his arm broken
in two or three places his skull fractured, and number
Of other injuries Whether he was Immediately killed
or not we have not heard certainly he did not long
survive.
That his death the consequence OF his own act,
and that it was done under the influence of temporary
arrangement think there is no doubt Some gentle
men occupying a rooms near, heard noise and
on looking out saw one holding by the hands to
the base Of the window and cndeavOrng, apparently to
obtain footing on the top Of the blinds of the story
below Before they could move or do anything, the
person. Mr. Robinson, it appears, dropped, falling as
we have stated The door Of his room locked. 1t
would appear though he had raised the window with
the view of throwing himself down. which he seems to
have partly DONE when he changed his intentions and
endeavored, but too late, to recover his place.
Mr.. R., we learn, was in some way connected with a
mercantile house in Philadelphia of high standing, but
whether partner or agent we have not heard. He is
said to have been very well informed, gentlemany
man. although his actions indicated something Of singu-
larity no doubt the result of that mental alienation
which terminated 50 fatally He was perfectly free
from the influence effects Of liquor, and as yet, nc
cause has been assigned for the arrangement under
which he committed the rash act
Coroner Wood held an inquest this morning The
verdict of the jury that the deceased to his
death by jumping OF falling from window of the Car
Dina Hotel for some cause unknown to the Jury.
He leaves wife and family in Philadelphia

The CHANCES OF WAR.-We do not know whether
the fighting in India can be properly clasSed with
regular or authorized warfare governed by the laws and
rules of civilized countries but however cassed its in
uences must be demonising. We notice by the details
of the capture of Delhi that the old King the descend
ant and representative of the Mogul Emperors, was
captured with his relatives, some fifteen miles South of
Delhi, and the relatives Immediately Shot-their bodies
carried back to Delhi and publicly exposed in the chief
police Office. This said to be the place where num-
Der OF European females were murdered.
Such exhibitions, both sides, cannot but degrade
the feelings of all concerned and SOW the seeds Of future
brutalities and lawlessness We 10 not question the
criminaty Of the parties They undoubtedly had been
leaders inEthe nsnrreconary movement and, as SUCH
had sanctioned brualitie for which they deserved death
But the degradation exposure of corpse as useless
as it is brutal The object was, doubt to strike ter
ror and it may have done that but it is in the nature Of
things that it should drive all offenders Of every grade
to desperation, and no fight ndomitaby than
those who fight TO fcnd off the halter from their own
necks anything but erocity be looked for from
the people Of India when they that the Europeans
practice after the same code for which they 50 much
condemn the SepOyS.

England is in the midst of financial panic. Every
body camorous for money and scared OF not getting

amount as lt to statement that the Bank OF England
has suspended but merely that the restrictions upon ITS
power of issue have been suspended by the Government

restricted to certain issue upon securities and all bills
issued over that amount must he based npon specie dol

pounds These restrictions to have been suspended

Boys.

Words are said to spring, in all languages dialects and
ngos from the needs of thought When the speech Of
has term which answers to the notion of home
when it knows name which expresses to the idea Of
Deity it is fair to presume that the soul of that people
lacks the sentiments these words convey In the rise
and decay too of slang epthets and expressions the
existence of the rule is shown. The street must
have its significant expressions, fanaticism must
have its can't the several professions their distinctive
and appropriate terms or It's technical language
When words become absolute, the fact indicates if not
the decay of the notions they severay express certain
ly modification and change in them corresponding to
the verbal transition. The altered terms applied in diff
fercnt periods to the same thing only evnces shades
in the thought attached to them.
Instead of the grand old of woman, with all its
wealth of meaning its suggestion Of hOnored matrOagc
and substantial housekeeping, the vague and undcfnd
epithet lady is now applied, by a miserable
Onaism, to our mothers, wives sisters and daught
So, in like spirit of fppery and nohingness not man
but gentleman is the common name of all individuals Of
the male SEX Now however, much of compliment Or
mutual admiration is intended in the application of the
appellatves-an appellatiOn whose very ndiScrminat
ness should suppose would suggest its futiliy for
the use of fattery-they surely give small credit to the
nobler and more solid qualities of our humanity.
There is another word, however, which seems to be
going rapidly into disuetude without leaving even
shabby substitute as oc,m tenenS. This is undoubtedly
because the thing sgned by the word is itself passing
into the realm OF remenicence and ceaSing to be-
an actual and continuing fact. The word we mean Is
Boy.
A pleasant anecdote to be found in most Greek prim
erS tells how DiOgencs out of his tub al high

who to that old fashioned description, who
would not feel aggrieved, if not nsulted at being de-
nominated by it? To be there is a street cpithc
not yet caught up by respectable and conservative e
cons-b'h oys-usualy applied to fast young men
but not especially applicable to juveniles generally
The term does not include all male children under =
years, but belongs promiscuously to certain obsrp
our characters beyond homage as well in it. Urcbn,

The Time to Die.

Il would like to die in Spring time,
If the flowers bloomed not so gay;
And the birds, returning to Us,
Sang not sweetly all the day.
Or I'd like to die in Summer,
If her gentle, fragrant breath
Sported not so softly round me,
Wooing me from thoughts of death.
would like to die in Autumn,
But could not bear to have
Chilling winds come sadly moaning
Round my newly covered grave.

If 'twere not for all its glee
If the bells and sleighs and snow storm
Passed it not so merrilv.
would gladly die at morning.
But / always waken then,
And would not need so soon
Thus to fall asleep again.
would like to die at evening.
But the stars are in the sky,
And love them, and their voices
Whisper, " Dear one, do not die.
SO III leave it to the angels,
When they are sent to bear me home.
And whene er hear them singing
I'll he ready then to come.
