Testimonial from our Chicago
Teachers who have used them.
Tho undersigned, having for
many years used and thoroughly
tested tho Upright Pianos manu-
facturcd by Mcssrs. Steinway s.
Sons, have recommended them to
their friends and pupils, and now
feel it almost q duty to publicly
express their opinion regarding
their 1,nfleniablc superiority.
Prominent among the points OF
| excellence Of this form Of Steln-
way Piano, is its exceptional dura-
bi1ity and capacity for long stand~
ing in tune; its power ofresistinG
the sevcrest trials and atmospheric
changes, its superlatave perfection
in richness, power, purity, and
depth of tone, which, combined
with its sympathetic and singing
quality, have not hitherto been
attained in parlor piano.
AS an instrument for tho draw
ing-rooln or parlor, we 1lnhestta-
tingly declare the Steinway Up
right to be the most desirable Of
all Pianos, and confidently pre-
dict that, owing to its .rnquestion-
able advantages, it will ere long
s..p2rsede all others.

that men could not be made temperate by

had become merely one Of expediency.

EThe safety and certainty of action of Castor Oil,
for both children and adults, has made it at all
times popular, because 1t is q reliable medicine
n ONLY OBJECTION
to its constant use isIthe difficulty OF administering
it to children and its nauseOusness to adults. Both
these objections are now entirely overcome. The

long ~practical experience, has at length succeeded
in accurately combining,

'Eeilow- Cifizens--By the lamented death Of
our worthy and eminent Governor, Tod. r.
Caldwell, the Constitution devolves upon me
the powers and duties OF the office Of Governor
OF North Caroira. And while feel scnsibly
the great loss the State has sustained by the
| death Of Governor Caldwell and the response
| bilities thus suddenly and Unexpectedly impo-
sed upon me by the Supreme Ruler of the Uni
verse, | shall place my hope and trust in Him
as my rock and my defense, my shield ana
my strength, to enable me TO discharge my
official duties according to the Constitution
and the laws; and to properly represent the in
terest and majesty of the people, and the char
acter and honor of the State. With clear
conscience and upright intentions, ] shall Try
to discharge the duties of the high Office TO

fully, as true and loyal son of North Caro-
lima. ] desire The promotion of education,
morality, and virtue, that the people may be-
come more prosperous and happy under a wise
and liberal Government administered fairly

ihsnring the full enjoyment of civil and reli-
gious liberty. desire that honest industry
and labor may be justly protected and reward
cd, and the vast and varied resources of the
State may be more fully developed. ! desire
that free public schools may be established and
supported in every township and county Of
the State. We all know that free Government
must repose and must exist on The basis Of in
telligence and virtue. One of our first duties
is to educate all our citizens so that they may
understand and appreciate their duties, and
cherish feelings Of respect and affection forour
country, her rights, her laws and institutions.
Proud of The historic fame of North Carolina,
and of that patriotic feeling which has ever
marked the devotion of her people to free in
situations, am anxious to perpeuae and in
crease that fame by such legislation and such
system of Improvements as will lead 10 the
| gradual and safe development of all our re-
sources, and of jealousy encouraging what
ever shall render the people Of the State con-
tented and prosperous, her character respected
and her institutions prosperous, solid and per-
manent. In all the matters Of administration
| ! shall adhere TO the maxms Of tho fathers OF
economy and simplicity, and Of rigid accoun-
liability TO the people Of all public funcliona-
rics and | shall endeavor TO illustrate this
maxim in nv own official conduct. Having
spoken thus briefly, with profound sense of
the responsibility devolved upon me, and with
an unfaltering trust in Almighty God for help
and guidance, now assume my duties as Go
vernon of the State"
