Mr.. L. schaefers lecture on "Noah's Ark" last
Friday, was ably delivered. The house was filed
with the elite of the city, who listened eagerly to
the history Of that ancient craft that SO bravely
bore up the ancestors Of the human and brute
creation. A gentleman at one stage Of the lecture
rose up and said that Mr.. SIS figures were wrong
in regard to the dimensions of that ancient canal
boat, but Mr., s, thought that few feet made but
little difference. Mr.. Schaefer says that he has
been requested to repeat his lecture in other cities
aud, no doubt, will do so at an early day. Space
forbids synopsis OF the lecture.

Self-Sacritice of a Young Girl.

Rev. DR.. Hayris of Memphis writes
thus to the Appeal of that city: 1t has
happened more than once in the recent
history of our unfortunate city that op-
portunity to heroic work, and out OF it
to pass to the martyrs grave, has been
seized by many an obscure man or un-
known woman of whom there is no
earthly record beyond the mere name in
the long death list. True in 1873, it
became more notably true in 1878, that
tho names Of many of our best and tru-
est are known to few, or it may be to
none save God only. Of course they are
none the worse for this, but it is the
misfortune of the living to be left with
out knowledge OF inspiring example. 1t
is with this feeling l wish to put on
record little note Of one such life an
death. When the Tobin family, on
Bradford street, were seized with the
fever, there was, of course, no provision
for hired nurses, since no one looked for
the fever so early in the season. Oppo-
site to this family, on the same street,
lived young girl, about seventeen years
old named Evelyn Widricks, her father
and little brother Freddy being the only
other members of the household. Evelyn
had not had the fever, but she went to
her neighbors in their distress, and re
mained with them from the beginning
to the fatal ending, Immediately after
the last of the Tobins was buried, the
infection spread to the family of Godsey,
living next door to the Widricks. With
out having rested, Evelyn began duty
there, and nursed these young ladies with
skill far beyond her years. 1t was there,
last Sunday morning, first saw this
dear child. sent her relief and beg
ged her to 60 to rest. Returning in the
afternoon, found the tireless girl still
on duty, and sharing the labor with the
relief nurse. The same night the fatal
fever laid her prostrate. Last night, in
her fathers room he begged to tell him
how his children was. [ could say no
more than she is rcsting-a truer word
than he thought meant, but tonight
they are both resting in Elmwood, where,
side by side, we laid the two to-day.

High-Priced Corn.

Until within few years the old COM
mon law rule prevailed in North Caro-
lima by which the robbery of orchards
or the theft of growing grain was not a
larceny, but merely trespass, and, as
such, not an indictable ofIense. The
planter might catch the freedman clan
destinely picking cotton from his fields,
but the law gave him no redress for the
grievance, as his only recourse was in
civil suit for damages, which could re-
suit at best merely in an idle and empty
judgment, the costs falling on the pros
ecutor. The absurd operation Of the
rule was strikingly shown in a case
where an old woman was indicted for
stealing three roasting ears flom a corn
field. II she had deliberately plucked
them from tho stalks ahl would have

False Impressions about Oxford

The silly novels which are written
about career in Oxford, almost invari-
ably represent the student as q noisy,
idle, drunken youth, whose chief wit
lies in practical jokes, who browbeats
his tutors, dodges the university author
tiles, cheats the tradesmen, and has all
his vulgarities condoned by the obsequl-
business of the college "dons," who are
ready to make any allowance for a
young man of spirit, who has liberal
allowance, and is the son of q country
gentleman residing in Blank manor
house. This absurd exaggeration had
some basis Of truth in it 80 years ago,
but has long ceased to be even probable.
At that time there were college officers
who, having taken their degrees at the
university, had also taken worse de-
gree in the school which taught Uriah
Heap his humility. The first process
against the mean adulation of rank and
wealth was made 40 years ago by Mer.
ton college, which refused to admit
what were called 'ftufts," that is, noble
men privileged by reason of wearing q
peculiar kind of cap and gown, and gen
tleman- commoners.t The rule has been
initiated subsequently by all the colleges
and for the last 20 years or so the only
persons who have been admitted in this
costume were the Prince Of Wales,
Prince Hassan, and Prince Leopold.
That some excuses would be made for
the son of Duke which would not be
allowed in the case of a commoner's
son, may be safely anticipated; but the
university and college authorities are
not much worse than English society is
generally, which shows marvellous ten
dcncy to the sins and escapades Of the
noble and the wealthy. "r.'''.'
