the President. He don't say that the OBJ

wax figure" for his show, but he gives
the following account Of it:

pleased. That, 'sed he, puts me in mind OF
q little story. There was man out in our
parts who was so mean that he took his
wife's coffin out at the back winder for
fear he'd rub the paint of the doorway.

an adjacent town who had green cotton

evil be consigned to infamy by the
record of enlig htened and christianized
history for all time" The Albany Journal
(republican) says:
"If we are to credit the Washington
correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, Gov.
Stanly's conduct has been grossly mis-
represented. General Burnside, who is
paying flying visit to the North, rather
gives it his entire approval. 1t appears
that, so far from closing the negro schools,
Gov. S. said that, in case North Carolina
returned to the Union with the anti
school law in full force, he would feel
called upon to enforce it and close the
schools of the kind in question. Misap-
pretending Gov. Stanly's remarks, Mr..
Colyer closed the schools himself.
ut would have been more discreet for
Mr.. Colycr to ascertain whether he was
hurt or not, before trumpeting his griev-
ances to the world and coming North to
play the martyr"
