Upon a high and rising ground

Where, from tho great offspring Of

Learning is taught to Female youth.
Our "Cjty Eatbers" soon will meet
In their new HALL, on Walnut street,
Which, with the ENGINE HOUSE below,
Adds new attractions to the row.
The LADIES, now, with hounces wide,
Their hoops sprcad out from side TO side,
Tho busy streets porambulato,
Attending LYCEUN and Debate,
Showing that Fashion has tho rule,
And Woman is its willing tool.
Death, with a cold, unsparing hand,
Has taken many to that land
Where all is happiness and joy,
And loveliness without alloy,
Where we, my friends, at last, may rest,
At Cons right hand forever blest.

perhaps more tastes, much better. 1T is
veritable lasses, luscious on cakes, de-
licious on warm bread, delightful be-
tween slices Of bread and butter. Its
peculiar favor is very agreeable, and it
has a ruby glow of luxurious sweetness,
in appearance captivating, to those who
prefer sweetness for dessert instead Of
the waste of sweetness on the desert
air, Mr., Clarke had twelve acres of the
Chinese Sugar Cane, and has made sew
enty-one forty gallon barrels Of molas-
ses, ten barrels of which he has had re-
fined by Mr.. Chas Louis Geise, Of this

The Poppy

A letter received at the Patent Ofico
from Germany, says, the poppy is cul-
tlvated in southern Germany to a large
extent, as a substitute for sweet oil
1t has supplanted the use of the i'm
ported olive oil wholly in that coun-
try. 1t is further stated that the soil
and climate Of the United States is
highly suited for the culture of this
article, and they might provide the
whole Union with sweet oil, and thus
save a large sum Of money, which goes
to France aud Italy.

Cofee and MIX.

Dr. D. A. Caron, Of Paris, has re cent
ly been engaged in investigating the ef-
feet Of broakfasting ON this favorite
beverage, and from the results, he
thinks that he is justified in asserting
thatm ost Of the nervous and allied
disorders which affect the dwellers in
large cities are traceablo to this source.
He further informs us that when the
coffee is mixed with milk, its nutritious
properties are neutalizcd because of
its fermentation being retarded. Cof-
fee and milk in a bottle were twenty
seven days before they began to decom-
pose, whilst milk ana sugar were only
three days. 1t is evident that the as
tringent properties Of the coffee hinder
the digestion of the milk; and at the
same time, the caffeine Cor active prin-
ciple of Coffee) is set free, and acts on
the membrane Of the stomach in the
same manner as vegetable alkalies, pro-
ducing the most disastrous consequen-
ees to the digestive apparatus. He tried
many experiments on himself and
friends, and found that in a few hours
the pulse was lowered from so TO 68,
from that it went down to Sc, when he
took some food, and it Immediately
rose to72. He concludes by informing
us that many cases Of irritation, uer-
vousness and hysteria have been entire
ly cured by a gentle course of tonics,
and giving up the use of coffee.

MEN OF BUsINEss.-Rare, almost as
great poets, rarer perhaps than verita-
bic saints and martyrs, are consummate
men Of business. A man to be excell-
ent in this way, must not only be vmi-
ousIy gifted, but his gifts should be
nicely propOrtioned to one another. He
must have in q high degree that virtue
which men have always found the least
pleasant of Yirtues-prudence. His
prudence, however, will not be merely of
a cautious and quiesoent order, but that
which, being ever actively engaged, is
more fitly called discretion than prud-
enee. He requires a great knowledge
Of character, with that exquisite tact
which feels unerringly the right moment
when to act. A discreet rapidity must
pervade all the movements of his thought
and action. He must be singularly free
from vanity and is generally found to
be an enthusiast, who has thear to con-
ceal his enthusiasm.

RS@The Fayetteville Observer, in its last issue, has
an article headed The Old Line Wings" in reply 10
some remarks of the Wilmington Herald. With the
general issue between the Herald and Observer, if an
issue be made we have nothing now to do. We simply
refer the article of the Observer for the purpose OF
pressing our dissent from one of its statements which Is
contrary to our recollection of facts The Observer
says =" 1t u.s. however wellknown fact that most OF
those former Wings who voted for Mr.. Buchanan, had
already left the Wing party and joined the Know No
things, as the American party was then called Look
over this State for instance and almost every prominent
is Of that description
Now, about here, know the case to be different
There gentlemen, formerly members of the Wing
party, who had at time joined the Know Nothngs,
who left that association and subsequently acted with
the Democratic party and voted for Mr. Buchanan but
nnetenths of the prominent gentlemen who joined the
Democratic party here had been Old Line Wings, and
had never gone into sympathised with the Know No
thing movement. We need not specify individuals or
quote names, but the fact is So and known to be So
We presume it will hardly be questioned by any one
acquainted with political movements in the town of
Wilmington.
Now for the State at large. Let us cite the first III
stances that occur to us-certainly among the most
prominent james w Osborne, Esq, Paul Cameron,
Esq, and Hon. Daniel NJ Barrenger. None of these
gentlemen had ever joined the order. None of them
could have been persuaded to join it.
There sort of affair at Baltimore calling itself
Old Line Wing Convention, gotten up to ratfy and
strengthen the Know Nothing nominations In that
affair the senior Editor of the Observer and other
gentlemen claiming distinctive Wing character partci
pated making reproducing less effect by the
operation. But the majority of prominent Old Line
Wings who went for Mr.. Buchanan, had never the
inside of Council room nor could have been persuaded
into the role of humble endorsers of Know Nothing
movements or nominations

During the latter part of the year 1885, School House
built in the of the Fifth street NJ Church. by the
contributions of few of citizens to be used exclusively
for free School, On the first of May last it went into op
Grafton closing the LIST of August having had
attendance of sixty Scholars opened again lst Octo-
ber md still continues having large number of scholars
The school open to admission for all INDECENT children
priority given those residing i'll the district The School
House is fne commodious building, fitted with many mod
improvements and capable of accommodating hun
dred scholars Books of all descriptions required also
supplied gratuitousy.
From the very marked improvement exhibited in the chill
dren since the of this school, believe
that large numbers will avail themselves of this opportunity
to lay the foundation for future usefulness and cannot
but anticipate great results from its success.
So far this undertaking has been sustained by few indi
yiduas upon whom has borne heavily and now call
upon the public assist in work deserving and calcu-
lated to do much good. The estimated expenses for the
present scholastic year of ten months $780, of which about
$3.50 remains be provided for there also debt of
$3.50 vet unpaid requiring 5000 to pay the debt and
continue the school Without this assistance it will be co-
sed at an early date result which will be serious injury
to the Children and sad disappointment 10 The friends who
have thus far supported it,
We aeal to our generous citizens help We invite
thorough inspection the school, and either member OF
this Committee will visit it with any citizen desiring to dc
so. Without the aid called for it must fail Its benefits
already visible its future benefits cannot be too largely

In the report of Fridays proceedings in the House of
Representatives appear some remarks of Hon. Henry
Winter Davis member from the City of Baltimore =.
We extract the following sentences:
For his part he held the newspaper press in utter
tempt He stood in terror of press and combination
he would take other notice than hold their
responsible for libel His reputation and that of b
gentleman i'll the House enough look in the face the
whole combined press of the country When charges
made in the newspapers only he did hold them worthy
the dignity of the House to be the foundation of an invest
CATION. But here different Men of Responsible
character made the charge from their investigation of tho
the books of of the merchant princes of the country
and that was adequate foundation for the investigation
The editors OF newspapers will feel very sorry when
they read the above,-very sorry.
1t reminds us of an anecdote When William Penn
Governor of Pennsylvania in company with friend
he took shelter from storm in the shop of comb
maker. The man violent, fouEspeaking man. and
conducted himself with such improperly as to draw up
on him a rebuke. He was very indignant and with an
air of great consequence informed his visitors that sure
ly they did not know who he was. am a Justice of
the peace said he. The comrade of the Governor qui-
city remarked he pointed to Penn my friend makes
such things as thee" If Mr. Davis has cut has teeth he
will be able to make the application and to profit by it
Meantime it is superatively silly for him to speak
he has spoken. We need not go beyond the very paper
from whose columns have taken the above extract
convict Mr.. Davis of gross libel. The word of the
editor of the National Integencer will pass where the
name of Mr.. Davis has not been heard. The most ex
avagant remark of the most reckless editor can
equal in uncharitabeness and injustice the above utter
ance of Mr. Davis. We do not know what the press is
to do unless they hold meeting and vote the utter
contempt mutual.-Alerandria (Va.) Sentinel.
