visit to this country Some years ago he married the
daughter or sister of the Emperor OF Brazil and some
talk was made of erecting kingdom for him out OF
some Of the Brazilian provinces 1t all ended in smoke
however.
The Prince like the other members of the Orleans
family is very rich old Louis Philippe having taken
care to accumulate vast treasures and invest them main

Not many years before the revolution of 1848 Louis
Philippe with the view of conciliating the popular
feeling in favor of Napoleon negotiated for the removal
of his remains from st. Helena sending out De Join
vile, in the Belle Poue frigate to bring them home tc
France. The funeral pageant on the occasion of the
Imperial remains being deposited beneath the DOME of the

From the Western Democrat
State Educational Association nf N. C.

The undersigned, Executive Committee of the State
Educational Association of N. c., would hereby give
notice that the next annual meeting of the Association
will not be held until time during the ensuing FALL
The Committee has been induced to fix period later
than usual for this meeting by reasons which they
gard as entirely satisfactory but they do not deem
necessary to give these reasons in detail now and will
ony aude to few of the leading considerations which
have had an influence in forming their determination
In the first place, by holding the meeting mdSun
mer important sections of the State are virtually ez
cluded from the privilege of inviting the Association to
meet In their midst, number of the delegates do not
like to go far East or South at this season of the year
Secondly, it is impossible to fix time for the meet
ing when there will be vacation in all the schools and
to hold the meetings to suit those teachers whose schools
are not in session. is to confne the active membership"
the Association to part only of its friends.
Thirdly, the last meeting ordered such large amount
OF business to be prepared for the action of the next
that the Committees having it in charge should be Or
lowed the longest possible time.
Fourthly, it is very desirable that the officers Oh mt
Common School System should attend the meetings o.
the Association, and this they can do more conveniently
during the Fall than about the time of harvest
