Idly the sails hung heavy 'sanst the sast;

The Difference.

The effects of the new Postal law on
the press are widely different, and
while it is generally felt to be petty
exaction, and one which reflects no
credit on Congress, and one which
that body will not only be ashamed OF,
but hasten to undo, some members Of
the press, we are pleased to say large
majority, accept the situation as grace
fully as possible, and determine to ez-
change with the brethren as hereto
fore, and a few would rather have the
present system than the old one OF
free exchange. There are others,
(Dailies) however, who look to the
damage to themselves, and will only
exchange with the weekly press on the
latter paying postage on both.
1t would be strange if it We're not
so: the world would hardly progress if
it. were not made up Of all kinds and
varieties of people. Geo. W. Mason,
Jr., Of the New-Bernc, On. c. Re-
public Courier, goes a step beyond
the least unselfsh, and says:
awe shall continue our exchange
list same us at present. We shall pay
the postage on all exchanges sent to
US, and shall mail our paper to them
as usual. If any publisher receiving
our journal cannot afford to pay the
postage, we shall prepay the same upon
notice"
The law in it's effects reminds US Of
a remedy in medicine, which, while
its influence is of happy character
on one, is injurious to another.

Brief Mentions.

The evils feared, that postal cards
would be used as means Of offensive
communications, have not been real,
lied, where the cards can be obtained,
and it is not likely there will be any
trouble here in this respect, for we
can get none Of them for good or evil
purposes. We do not understood why
it is that the Newbcrry Postotice can,
not get supply Of them.
The terrible fires which prevailed
last year in the Northern woods, and
caused such an immense destruction
Of property, seems likely to be dupli-
Gated this summer. The summer has
thus far been very dry, and the debris
of the forests catches like tinder and
burns with fearfulrapidity. The New
York Herald insists that some legal
safeguards must be provided for the
protection of the woods, though it will
be most difficult thing to do.

Nelcs d; Courier, has issued writ #

Roanoke College.

The commencement exercises Of
this institution, lately closed, proves
from the accounts received that it is
capable Of impartipg as high degree
of c. ure as any other of its charac-
ter. It is steadily increasing in popu-
larity and the number Of its students.
The last was its twentieth session, and
during which our talented young
friend, Mr.. Z. ". Bedenbaugh, Of
Newberry, has had the honor of finish
ING q course ST studies which Will fit
him for life's duties. We are glad to
know that Mr.. 3. has graduated with
distinction. His address on this i'm
portant and interesting occasion was
on the "Triumphs of Chemistry
The Roanoke Times in commenting
on previous effort Of Mr.. B., the oc-
casion being a contest for the orator 5
medal, makes the following compli-
mentary allusion:
''The first Grafton was by q. ". Be
denbaugh, of Newberry: S. G. His
subject "Connection of Taste with
Genius" The speaker laid down as
his main postulate that true genius is
not to be put to the line and plummet
of technical rules and restrictions !;
that it receives not its birth in the
slowly accommodating forces of the
minds progression, but that it springs
full-panoplied in the attributes of its
power from the hand of its Maker.
It was shown, too, that although the
imprint of genius is made by the
Divine hand on the plastic human
soul, the man thus set apart from his
fellows, if true to his lofty origin, will
not ignore the laws which form true
taste. The fires of genius will blend
beautifully with the rainbow-tinted
rays of aesthetic culture. Olympus,
with its summit touching the heavens,
loses none of its grandeur because its
sides are covered with pleasant woods,
caves and grottoes. All the sons of
genius, from the days of Homer to the
present, have, in their flights along
the ETHEREAL plains, often poised the
wing to pluck the flowers of fancy
from the laughing meadows of earth.
In illustration of his theme, the speak
er cited the productions and achieve
ments of those intellectual giants who
have piled up the monuments of their
power and glory for the admiration of
coming ages. His diction was classic
and chaste, and his graceful delivery
evidenced his study Of the graces Of
oratory."

institutions are in u prosperous and

The Pic Mic Saturday.


1t appears as if the earnest wishes Of the
young people were needed, as the day for the
pic mic was all that could be desired. The
wind was cool and refreshing, and the sky
cloudless. With such promise, there soon
collected at the rendezvous Prof. Pliers
Academy-a majority Of the beauty and gal
lantry of the town. Here dray loads in great
number left, forming gay procession, and
passing down Main St., by the depot, went
heller, skelter, as if each was racing TO reach
the gaol first and win the honors.
O'NcaPs old mill was reached in due sea-
son. and the young girls and boys, pardon
us we mean ladies and gentlemen, began to
cast sly CLAN ceS, yet very significant ones, at
Each other; and, suddenly and with wonder
fnl simultaniety, a spirit seemed to move
| each other, as it were. Before you could
look around, couple after couple sought the
cover Of some shady spot to recline at case
on the verdant carpet Of grass to indulge in
the pleasures of an uninterrupted tete-a.tete.
We noticed that this selfish perambulating
of couples was the most conspicuous feature
Of the day; but who could expect otherwise
in this period Of advancement. The "Wild
Irshman, ""Steal Partners" and other ju-
yenile sports we're in disrepute. From the
dots we could gather and from private OBJ
servation, there were maay gordian knots
tied and severed. 1t seems aS if fishing was
intended to assist in passing The ennui Of the
day; but whether it was to fish for the deni-
zcns of the water or to catch dry land fish,
is very doubtful question. We understand
fish bit finely, but few were taken. But one
thing is certain, we observed specially in
the later sport.
At o'clock, instinct or the pangs Of hun
ger, We don't know which. drew all the stray
parties about the grove Of oaks just to the
left Of the mill, where a most abundant sup
ply Of the good things of this world were
spread, composed OF both SweetmeatS and
substantial eatables. From observations you
would suppose thatfew had eaten anything for
several days, yet it was gratifying to see the
young people enjoy themselves so much
Though all ate until some had to be assisted
from the ground, yet the tables seemed as if
untouched. The gentlemen who had the
kindness 10 treat the fair ones to ice-lemon-
ade are due many thanks aud much praise.
By their consideratenrSs they won many
hearts. The evening was spent similar 10
the forenoon. At O'Clock such q swarming
around the wagons never was seen before.
A dark threatening Cloud hurried off the Pic.
Eichcr$, who returned 10 their several homes
in gay spirits, and highly pleased with the
days sport.
4 more pleasant day never was spent, nor
more lively gathering Of the Young MISE;
and muStcls Our wish is that il may be re-
pcatcd al no distant date, at this most happy
place for Picnic.
