Wonderful, indeed, are the hap
p~enings of lite The pistol which slew
Abe Lincoln echoed down ten years OF
ruin and oppression to the South. The
pistol which laid Garfield low awoke the
spirit of patriotism in every quarter OF
the land and opened a new epoch fer
the South. Garield's Bloody Shirt has
killed Bloody Shirtism.'

Gen. w. r. Cox has placed a beau.
tiful memorial window in Christ Church
to the memory of his estimable wife
(nee Miss Penelope Battle) and two chill
dren. The window is deemed a very
superior work ofart; both in conception
and in execution. 1t is composed OF
nine hundred pieces of glass, shaped
and colored to form a striking design,
which must be seen to be appreciated.
Mr.. f. j. Hale says the window is fine,
than one named the -Four Marys,'
which vas executed In England fol
Grace Church, New York.
Indirectly, and for the first time,
we learn to-day that some of Judge
Alphonso G. Avery's friends construe
our Prohibition Personal" in July
last, as disparagment of the Judge, In.
stead of precisely the reverse, as was
our intention. In saying he came O
"hospitable and conyivial stock and
that 1.-The day had BEEN when he was
fond of a glass, we merely designed tc
add force to the further remark that
he was now doing his best for the
Temperance cause" Indeed, we have
often complimented the manliness OF
both Judge Avery and Gov. Jarvis il
taking position at the risk of future
honors, and against personal i%nclina-
ton.
The day after Robinson's circu,
came to Raleigh the Observer remark
ed; yesterday was the biggest day OF
the year to Mayor Manly. There
were a great plumber of cases, all grow
ing out of disorder on '%'Circus day.'
Space forbids an extended notice, but
the offenders were fined and sent to thu
guard house, right and left"
The same paper says. I'm the las,
two weeks about so, 600 worth of val
liable animals belonging to Robinson.
circus have died from the hot weather
The gnu, or horned horse, became
frightened at the tearing of canvas il
the gale, and got one of his legs he
tween the bars of his cage. In hi
struggles he broke the leg, which wa.
soon set by one of our physicians"
1t will be remembered that La.
year John Robinson's big elephant
caused a great uproar in Charlotte. OF
Sunday, and finished by killing hi
keeper. The same beast made troubl,
at other points, and Robinson shoulc
have been arrested for bringing him on
second tour, unless kept so chained
that no possible trouble could agar
occur. Yet we read in the Weldon
Fetos that several lives were endanger
ed in the open street. He paid n,
attention to the steel hooks used il
controlling him, but went wherever h,
pleased. The other large elephant wa
brought up, butted the Chief" severa
times, but to no purpose. He ran u,
and down several streets, and though
with heavy chains his keeper had on
time to noun a borse to keen nj
with him. There Was great excite
ment for a while, people running in al
directions, and one little boy cam
near being hurt he jumped into th
railroad cut just as the Chief touch
ed him with his trunk" Mother
should take warning from thisl Their
is no telling when this Infatuated beas
may trample their children into a shape
less mass!
