OSCAR WILDE.

Rhilosophy.

Oscar Wilde is by no means the fool he
has been represented if we may judge
from the description given of him by the
intervieser of the New York Mad and
Express. The personal appearance of the
esthetsc has already been described He
is very tall, but is far from being IS con
spicuous, either In dress OF manner, as
some of the morning papers have repre-

musical, and his gestures are graceful.
ALLEGED INTERVIEWS
After few Introductory remarks about
his voyage across the ocean, which he
seemed TO enjoy exceedingly, he said that
he was sorry TO read in the American
papers alleged interviews with him, which
if true, were exaggerated uniustly and
unreasonably.

SOCIETY IN New ENGLAND. = The
death of Jennie Cramer cast no gloom
over the family Of her betrayer. One of
James Malley' sisters has married since
August s. 1881, and the other sisters
have been among the gayest of the gay
in New Haven ever since. Society in
one New England town at least is with
out as much shame as one would expect
in Salt Lake City. Chicago Herald, Rep
Yes, and the defendants acted as if on
picnic. Blanche appeared in new
dress nearly every day, and faunted gay
feathers and scarfs. The Malleys ''came
in, bowling, smiling, each with big
bouquet of flowers, and the air of mere
spectators. Ifthere were any ku Klux
in Connecticut the whole party would be
hanged as soon as the verdict of acuuittal
comes in; but as it is the Malleys and
their strumpet will go forth to conspire
against the virtue of other fast and frivi-

GREENSBORO FEMALE COLLEGE. Not
simply Methodists, but North Carolinians
in general, were gratifed when the wires
announced that arrangements had been
effected to secure the retention of the
handsome buildings and grounds OF
Greensboro Female College, for the Con
ference; so that the fourishing school of
Rev. L. NJ. Jones might not be interrupt
ed. Ten or dozen publicspirited gen
tlemen put their shoulders under the
mortgage ; and now the held is clear for
a new epoch in the history of the institu-
ton. The managers BEGIN right by send
ing out cash advertisements. Our State
Press is ever ready to help all Educational
Institutions; but Editors must lice, and
their feelings are naturally with those
who recognise this fact, and do not ask
them (by lnference) to work for noth-
ing, and board themselves, and give
what's left to Charitable, Educational.
and Patriotic purposes.
The Greensboro Seminary has an ex-
cellent location in a pleasant, healthy,
and accessible town and is very highly
spoken of. We recolect hearing at the
station iwo pretty pupils expressing
pleasure at getting back although
they arrived at nidpigh and had 10
iea:e heme on New Years day.

The same paper, which is published

Judge Tourgee in the Greensboro Repub-

the enlargement of the Republican State
Committee by three members at large"
instead of two, was a scheme 70 get in
the Raleigh Revenue Ring" when it
was found that the colored delegate,
Leary of Cumberland, had crowded him
out. DR.. Chaplin adds
''We also learn that the member for
this district was selected, rot by the del
egates to the convention from this dis
trict, but in the private Office of the Col
iector. and none but those favorable to
the revenue ring were invited. At least
three of the delegates from this county
were not invited and we hear that dele
gates from other counties were treated in
the same manner. We expect to turn

Farmer and .uechauic sees in North
Carolina anything, or anybody, that de-

award 1t. Nor is it slow to condemn
when condemnation is necessary. We
desire to say word to our readers about
the b borner School at Oxford This in
stitution has situation second to none in
our State. It's instructors, Jas. H Hor-

Horner, are gentlemen thoroughly edu-
Gated; and more, they are thorough
teachers. The morale of the school is
good. No uncertain sound comes forth
from this school,. Parents wishing to rear
healthy boys, healthy in body, healthy in
mind, healthy in spirit, will know this
may be done by reading the neat ad
