Jenny, who is going to marry MIR:
| Simpson as soon as that hopeful
young man gets a living. is obliged
| in the meanwhile to deny herself
many pleasures, lest Simpson should
take offense. She must eschew balls,
she must take care that nobody

pose she is obliged to let all chance
comers be speedily informed of her
engagement. Unhappily, the symbo-
lism of rings is always unregarded,
else the chance corners might dis
cover the tact for themselves by look
ing at the second finger OF Miss
Jenny's left hand. 1t Jenny has no
sisters to talk of her betrothal, and
if her mother does not accept timely

not speak to him as Simpson" for
this would sound strange; but If she
refers 10 him frequently as "Mr.

desirable differences from her appar

reconnoitre and consider. That |

sections would have been rejoiced to
thus stumble unexpectedly upon a
place where food and shelter might

NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE.

The question of calling an extra session OF
the Legislature, to take into consideration the
sale of the interest of the State in the Western
North Carolina railroad, is creating consider
able interest in that State. As to the prac'
ticability of the scheme, public opinion is di,
vided. The Governor, in bis manifesto, ar.
CUES in favor of the sale, and shows to the
people how, by the transaction, they may be
relieved of heavy burden of taxation, to con-
tinue for years, while under the conditions OF
the proposed contract, the road will be speed
lily completed to its termini, one branch from
Asheville to Paint Rock and the other to
Ducktown, thus opening up new means
of communication between the western part
of the State and the rest of the world.
While the Governors party is somewhat di-
vided upon the subject, the Republicans are
solid against the scheme, and the question in
volved will, in all probability, have an impor-
tant bearing on the next State campaign.

A SLOW RACE PREDICTED.

In the event of the nomination of Tilden
and Grant as the leaders of their respective
parties in the next Presidential race-and
right here we may say that Notwithstanding
all the speculation on the subject, there is no
probability that either will be nominated
but in the event of the leadership falling upon
the devoted heads of those eminent patriots,
a "slow race" and one in which the public
generally will feel little interest, is predicted
The Washington correspondent of the Spring
field Republican thus ventilates this phase of
the question as scanned in the political mazes
at the capital:
The Democrats continue shy about discus
sing the question of their candidate. The
shadow of Tilden hangs over the party. There
is a growing impression that the old man"
means to ca pture the nomination again, and
a growing fear among his opponents-and
they number an overwhelming majority of
the Democrats in both branches that he may
succeed. Members report that they find evil
dences in their districts that the same peculiar
methods are being employed in his interest
which were used so successfully in 1876, and
they dread repetition of the same result.
If Tilden could show united party behind
him in New York, his opponents would have
no hope ofpreventing his nomination as it is,
many of them feel far from confident that he
can be shaken off. Some of the most clear
headed Republicans have insisted all along
that Tilden was the predestined candidate of
the Democracy, and that nothing but death
could take him out of the way. Their faith
in his success only grows as time goes on, and
nothing will please them more than to find it
justified by the event. Tilden is unquestlon-
ably the favorite Democratic candidate with
the Republicans, as Grant is the choice of the
Democrats for the Republican nominee.
"Suppose it should be Grant and Tilden p
is the query which put to one of the shrewd.
est Democrats in the House day or two ago.
"Well," he replied with merry twinkle in
his eye, "that would be what we call out

the dismissal of q students from the Virgin.
la Military Institute, at Lexington, for DISC
bedience of orders and for breaking arrest.
The dismissed students had requested Gen.
Francis H. Smith, the superintendent, to
grant them an additional suspension from du'
ty, to enable them to prepare for examination
in descriptive geography, which he refused,
as he was on the point of leaving for Staun:
ton on business visit. The students refused
to obey the commandant of the Institute in
the superintendent absence, and were dis
missed upon his return. A few of the class
declined to join the rebellion, and three or
four of those who did returned to duty. The
superintendent has issued an order in the in
terest of discipline setting forth the facts in
the whole affair. The mutiny began on the
oath, and the dismissals followed promptly

West a slow race One of the popular
amusements at our country fairs is what is
called slow race Two men enter each
his mule, and each bets that his mule will 60
slower than the others. The conditions of
the race are that each shall ride his opponents
mule. For instance, suppose you and l were
to enter. You would bet that your mule
could 60 slower than mine, and I would bet
that mine could cover less ground than yours
I should mount your mule and do my best by
using the whip to make it get ahead, while
you, mounted on my animal, would lash it
with all your might and try to cover the dis
tance first. Now, that is just what l think
will happen if the Republicans nominate
Grant and the Democrats Tlden. There will
be lots of Republicans betting that their mule
is the slowest and doing their best to bring
Tilden out ahead, and any quantity of Demo
Gratis trying to make Grant cover the most
ground. Yes, Grant and Tilden would make
a slow race and no mistake"
