Late in the autumn OF the year 1881, Mr..
Baldwin Mollhausen. a Prussian traveller,
pursuing his investigations in Northern
America, had occasion TO make return

only, and with three horses and mule, for

fearful cold of those snowy regions. pro-
duced the first disasters OF the travellers
by depriving them OF the services OF all four
animals. Their last horse was killed by ex-
posure to an icy gale. at spot IN the mis-
erabIe wilderness called Sandy Hill Creek
Here, now that their last means Of getting
forward had failed them, they were compel
led TO stop, at a period of the year when
every succeeding day might be expected TO
increase the horrors Of the cold, and the
chances o. death by starvation in the prai-
rie wastes.
They had a little Indian tent with them, and
they set it up for shelter. They bad also a
small supply of bad buffalo meat, rice and
Indian corn. On this they existed misera-

In the interim between the first and second parts
DR.. Wheat introduced the successful competition Of
this class in English composition, Elisha E. Wright,
of Memphis, Tenn, to whom Mr.. Buchanan present
ed the prize-Hawk's History of North Carolina.
The President said that though taken by sur
prise, he was happy to be honored as the medium
of this token of excellence. To be distinguished
for merit in composition was the greatest honor per-
haps any literary gentleman could enjoy. To the
man who writes it was a great merit. This excel
fence consisted in short, pointed sentences The
man who could write we'll. would soon learn to
think well and to speak well. But he who wrote in
long and disconnected sentences would find many
difficulties to encounter The ancient style of compO
sition was the best-emphatically the best. 1t was
the style of Calhoun and Webster: The President
wished great honor and prosperity to Mr. Wright
He next remarked upon the exercises of the day,
which were creditable to all concerned and alluded

pany proceeded to dinner, which served up IN
spacious room sufficient to accommodate hundred
persons. The President and the committee, with
some invited guests, occupied one table, and the
military companies another. All parties evidently
enjoyed themselves well, for they came forth from
the dining room considerably refreshed and some
what liveer. The sound of the steam whistle
soon brought all to the cars; and after few min
utes we were on the route again, with only twenty
seven miles to overcome.
On reaching station called " Huntsville Station"
a number of ladies standing OH the platform
awaiting the arrival of the President Being pretty
tired from the repeated descents and ascents to and
from the cars at the different stations and the time
within which the train to arrive at Raleigh be-
ing rather too limited it was not deemed expedient
to delay at this point. The President came on the
platform of the cars and was introduced to the la
dies on the outside by Governor Ellis, who remark
ed that there not sufficient time left to admit of
any more formal introduction. "Oh, yes, there is,
said the President, and he thereupon jumped from
the platform and advanced towards the ladies. The
usual greeting took place, and his Excellency re-
sumed his seat in the car when the train got under
way and proceeded at rapid speed reaching Raleigh
at twenty minutes past six o'clock this "wednesday
evening.

President AT CASTOR he was welcomed by not less
than two hundred of both sexes, who greeted him
by the waving of handkerchefs and other tokens of
respect. He mixed freely with the crowd at every
point, receiving their greetings with cordiality
which seemed to their enthusiasm to degree

hands with the President seemed to afford to all
was plainly attested in the joyous countenapces and
appreciative smiles which hailed his presence. At
every intervening station from Weldon to Franklin
ton the dining place, the President descended from
the train and renewed the same fatguing operation
of shake hands with the crowd. 1t was amusing
to see the large number of ladies assembled at every
point was struck with their neat, ladylke ap-
pearance. and the tasteful manner in which they
were attired They evidently put on their best in
honor of the President; and to him, indeed it must
have been an agreeable task. as it would be to all
men, to receive and acknowledge the greetings of
so fair and patriotic host of charming women
