ao'iltle5 III hlBh social and official
positions. Beyond most men I
have had chance to study hufitaii
nature in all it's phases, and I do
not hesitate to say as one of tho re-.
suits Of life long observation, that
virtue, health, and happiness aro
best promoted by cultivuting q
love Of nature. It's teachings,
next to the teachings of religion,
40 most to make mon wise and
contcnted here aud hereafter.
YOUNG MEN SHOULD NOT ABANDON
COUNTRY LIFE.
May we not hope that the tasto
for rural lifo which once prevailed
in our land may be restored by n
better public opinion and by q
Judiclous system Of education
which shall uim at gaining that
knowledge which is needed by
our farming population n b Q
young men Of our country are
crowded into cities; they are
leaving safe, healthful, and useful
pursuits for the speculative chun.
ces Of town life. In too many in
stances they make miserable fail
ures, and shipwreck health and
character.
The practice which prevails
among our successful farmers, of
selling their lands and moving in
to cities and villages, does double
mischief. 1t strips the rural dis
tr'cts or their accumulated capital
and deprvics them Of tho wisdom
and skill gained by long experience.
Tho double drain OF tho young
and active, as well as tho old and
wealthy, is hnrltul to the moral
tone, as well az to tho material
power of the agricultural interest.
1t weakcns tho influence Of the
greatest industrial pursuit of our
land the ono upon which the
prosperity Of all others il based.
1t is our duty, then, not only
10 urge measures which will make
Inr'ning profit. bic but a'so those
which will make country life at,
!ractive. 1t must be lifted up and
made an intellectual profession
1t must not be shuncd, but it must
he sought ns II mode of life whicl
gives not onIJ just reward to labor
but honor and influence in OH
social and political system.
We find Il great diversity OF
tastes among civilized nations.
They are tho results Of oducn.
ton and public opinion. Our
tastes and habits should be made
to conform to tho condition of on,
country. Our chief wealth il in
our lands. Ourgrowth in greutne OBJ
depends upon our bringing intu
use our vast uncuItivated domain
These tastes and habits which
lead our people to turn their backs
upon country lifo arc hurtful to
our prosperity. Tho system OF
education which fails to give in.
tcI'ectual interest and mental nc.
tivity to rural pursuits is not
well directed, and does not meet
the wants and conditions Of the
American people. We must have,
AZ a basis Of politica! stability
ana business prosperity, not only
agricultural skill and mechanical
inVontions, but also tho diffusion
Of that kind Of knowledge which
will make our farmers and thor
families honor their pursuits and
love tho rural sconcs amidst which
they are carried on.

Hss The project for an international
exposition of the mechanic arts in
Washington is so far advanced that a
call will soon be issued for a meeting to
begin the necessary arrangements. The
names of some of the heaviest capi-
talists and largest manufacturers of the
country, it is said, will be signed to the
call-George Peabody, W. w. Corco-
ran and the Cookies among Others 1t is
understood, however, that an effort will
be made to induce Congress to give the
project liberal encouragement. Next
year Is mentioned as the time for hold
ing the exposition, but this is obviously
too short for the necessary publication
and preparation to insure the success
that may be desired, even if it is not
considered too soon after the grand

THE MISSING RAILROAD LINK

THE MISSING RAILROAD LINK.
The public have been greatly delights
ed and then greatly disappointed by the
antics of Mr.. Link, in regard to his
transactions with the Norfolk and Great
Western railroad. From what we can
gather from our exchanges there appears
to be a total mystifcation in the trans
action, why Link should have taken the
trouble and expense to have attended
the railroad meeting, employed counsel,
&C., &C., and then have backed out en-
tirely from the whole matter. Now, it
occurs to us that the operations of this
mysterious railroad Link may have
been a sort Of Reconnaissance in force on
the part of some of the Other graat ...ss
of railroads of the North, to find oa. Tie
condition of the Nor ..olk and Great Wes-
tern, its probable chances for being sue
cessfully carried through, &C., &c. Pos
slbly, the Pennsylvania Central or the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, had some
thing to do with this bamLoozling rail-
road Link. ...

The Roanoke News says: Judge Asa
Biggs of Tarboro, having associated him
self with the firm OF Kader Biggs & Co.

that place, offers for sale his real estate

ton the public has had of North Cara
lima losing one Of its most valued sons,
and we express sincere regret at the
loss. This gentleman stands deservedly
high as mel der Of the bar, and as a
citizen none can say aught against him.
In going to his new home he will carry
with him the good will of the people of
the State, and we wish him abundant
success in the mercantile world. We
don't know what oecasioned this move
on the part of Judge Biggs, but be be-

pose he has concluded to leave profess

THE SITUATION IN EUROPE.

THE SITUATION IN EUROPE.
The continuance Of peace in Europe,
nsplte cfall recent changes. de. lis
more upon France than upon au59 .her
European Power. Russia, Austria,
Prussia, are all SO much bent on carry
ing out domestic reforms that nothing
but the direst necessity will allow them
to think of war. The amicable and
satisfactory settlement of the Franco
Belgian difficulty has removed the
only cause of war which was really
alarming. The present reform move
ment in France has assumed that par
ticular character which, to- say the
least, renders foreign war extremely i'm
probable. The game which Napoleon
now has in hand is much more impor-
taut than the humbling of Prussia or
the acquisition of a few square miles of
territory. 1t is fact not without
deep significance that, simultaneously
with the Inauguration of sweeping and
radical reforms, Napoleon has taken
steps to reduce the effective strength of
the army. We have little doubt that
the example of France will be general
1 y initiated. The huge ornaments of
Europe are curse not only to the diff
ferent nations, but to the world. France
has an available force of a million of
men, Russia, Prussia, and Austria can
each count on almost as many. Italy is
expressing herself and running her
chances by maintaining large standing
army 1t is the same all over. War
with such forces would be dreadful.
But why should War be necessary ? 1t
is the dynasties, not the peoples, that
are interested in the maintenance of the
present condition of things. A grand
European federal republic is the only
cure for all this waste and consequent
misery. 1t is the standing armies of
Europe that are forcing upon tue
United States population and wealth.
Why should we complain ?
