CONQUESTS, ANCIENT AND
MODERN.

1t must be remembered that the
modern conqueror is, in two respects,
worse off than his Roman predecessor.
The ancient conqueror could impose q
tribute, which the comparative mild
ness of modern nations will scarcely
tolerate, and il was once worth while
TO conquer poor and savage races for
the sake of obtaining slaves, which the
civilization of modern Europe no
longer endures. Thus 1t appears that
the principal motives which spurred
men on to war in former times no lon
ger exists, and that if it is the duty Of
statesmen to act solely for the happi-
ness of tho people they govern, it is
equally their interest to avoid wars
from which the mildness Of modern
manners prevents them from winning
even the miserable advantages that
war, il successful, could once afford.
But the case against war is still
stronger when we consider that we
have already obtained, without she'd
ding drop Of blood, all and more than
all that the most successful war could
possibly give Us. We won Canada by
series of bloody battles, but Austria
lia we obtained without any battle at
all We sought in the imperial way
to mako our colonies in North America
our tributaries, and they separated
from us, after inf'icting upon us de-
feat and humiliation unknown TO us
before. We supposed that we had
lost great and irreplaceable dominion,
but we found that for all useful pur.
poses we had lost nothing by the sep
aration; for all pacific uses the United
States were still at our service. So
long as vacant lands in temperate lati-
tudes exist on the earth we have at
our disposal, without shedding drop
of blood, all that the most successful
war can give US. Just as we have dis
covered that any amount Of territory
may be acquired without war, 90 we
have discovered and clearly proved
that wealth beyond the dreams Of
avarice may be acquired without plua-
der. Tho way to grow rich is not to
Iplundcr and ruin other people, but to
assist them in becoming rich them
selves. The Roman empire perished
because the subjects were unable TO
endure the weight Of taxation. Eng.
land fourishes because her peaceful
industry can supply the demands Of
her government, and yet leave enough

A number Of geptleman-electrici

TO SUPERINTENDENT

The signs of the times indicate the
application Of largely increased num-
bers of persons for teachers certificates
during the current year They will
come to the examinations possessing
all degrees Of qualification for the work
of teaching, very good, good, fair, poor,
and very poor. The purpose Of this
article is to request Superintendent to
adopt at their examinations euch q
standard of qualification as will shut
out all applicants except about enough
to supply the schools. In this way
the schools will be protected from the
rush Of incompetent teachers, the
teachers profession will be strengthen
ed and elevated, and the educational
interests of the public will be greatly
subserved. The threatened evil is o
swarm of incompetents in our school
rooms at very low salaries. II moi
checked, it viii drive the best teachers
out of the profession and greatly de
crease the efficiency Of orr schools
The men TO guard the school interests
fhus jeopardized are the Superintend
ents. 1t is their duty to do It without
fear or favor.

The HerOism OF Senator Ransom.
raleigh Observer

There is a good story told at the ex-
pense of Senator Ransom of this State.
The Senator was guest at the Atlantic
Hotel, Beaufort, on the night when the
storm swept the hotel away, and, barely
escaping himself, stood at the side of Col.
/. J. Young, in safe place. Both gen.
llemen were gazing at the hotel, when
Senator Ransom said, excitedly, "Colonel,
there are ladies in the house yet, and
they must be rescuedW "Why, General y
replied his companion, "there are no
ladies there, and if there were, mortal
man couldn't we them" "But they
must be saved. See, seeW shouted the
Senator. COL Young looked. Senator
Ransom was pointing to the flying win
dow curtains of the hotel, mistaking
them for signals made by ladies in
distress,
