The Normal School at Knoxville.

Nashville American: The normal school,
conducted at the University of Tennessee,
at Knoxville, by the State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, has graduated 100
students, as teachers, this year. State Su-
perintendent Crawford addressed to them,
yesterday, their certificates to teach school.
He says that there is a growing sentiment in
East Tennessee that there should be at least
two normal colleges in each of the three
grand divisions. He thinks an effort will be
made before the Legislature to secure that
number

The Circus Next Week.

Next Wednesday, August End, the re-

Hamilton will make its advent into our city,
The Louisville Post in speaking OF them,
says: 'The list of performers includes the
names of some of the most famous in the
profession, and deeds of strength and daring
are performed that are not to be seen any
where else. The performance in the arena
is unsurpassed, and much that is interesting
and instructive may be learned from the
menagerie. Louisville will be visited by
many combinations this season, but in its
combined attractions none will surpass
May bury, Pullman 4 Hamilton"
The Louisville Sunday Argus says:
''The performances in the arena are of a
very superior character. 1t is compact and
neat throughout. Not single speciality is
unattractive."
I'VE are persuaded that the ancient Her
mes with all the subtle art and natural
resources of the Alchemists, was a very

ability, but to speak of him as "the great
est man that North Carolina ever gave to
the public service" is ridiculously absurd
and unjust. The writer says, that during
his service of forty years in Congress che
cast more negative votes than any ten
other members" Yes, and after voting
for the war of lSl2-'l5 with Great Britain,
he voted against the bills to provide for
carving on the war; And his negative
votes were given upon his avowed princi-
pie, that if the measure against which be
voted proved to be good, nobody would
take the trouble to arraign his opposition,
whereas if it was bad he would receive
credit for sagacity in opposing it. A rare
specimen of greatness this.
Philadelphia finds that the managers of
its Alms-House have been supplying bad

The various panics recently in churches
and theatres, by which many people have
been hurt and killed, the crowd rushing
madly and trampling men and women
under their feet, reminds me of an Incl
dent in the church in Baltimore where the
Wing National Convention was held that
nominated Mr.. Clay in 1874. A few old
men like myself may remember the i'm
mense concourse that visited Baltimore on
that occasion, the magnificent procession,
the banners, the arches, the enthusiasm,
which don't think have been surpassed
by anything since. Well, the body of the
church was given up to the members and
alternate members of the Convention, and
the galleries were packed with spectators.
Suddenly a startling sound was heard
from corner of the gallery, and the i'm
preston prevailed that it was falling. AS
one of the Secretaries of the Convention,
seated on the platform, l had full view
of all the church, and remember to this
day the calmness with which the multi
tude found the danger. In a moment the
Mayor of the city was at the place of dan
ger and in an authoritative voice and
manner ordered that part of the gallery to
be cleared This done order was at once
restored. Not an individual was hurt.
1t might have been otherwise if women
had composed half the assembage, as in
the theatres and churches, and had

Wonderful Freak of Nature-A Veritable
Horned Mani


Editor Home and Democrat Among
the many wonders of this progressive
age" there is one very notable which /
have never seen reported in our State pa
pers, though the subject was exhibited at
the Centennial at Philadelphia. About
80 years ago colored man-near Will
liamston (my native town) in this State,
named Drury Reddick, had comical
shaped excresence over his left eye. 1t
was by some pronounced "wart." 1t
gave him very little if any pain. The ex-
cresence would occasionally "shed off"
This process continued till about the year
1865, when the excresence continued to
grow out about Il inches, then formed
two prongs very much like, i. e., in sub
stance, a sleeps horn. Each prong at
tanned about inches in length, and re-
mained till the Fall of 1880, when it s'shed
off" again; but new ''horn" began form
ing at once, and while on visit to Will
liamston in December last, l met said
"Horned Man" on the street, with one
prong of the horn resting against the
right side of his nose, the other on his left
cheek. If any one wishes further intorma-
tion in regard to the case, refer them to
DR.. Alonzo Heapell, WILLIAMSON, N. c.,
W. T. Crawford, w. J. Hardison, Sheriff,
or Mr.. Albert Duggan, who exhibited
him at the Centennial. Respectfully,

The Notorious Bank Robber Escapes from
the ALBANY Jail.

Albany, Jan. 7.-There is intense excite
ment in police circles to-day over the
escape from the Jail of the notorious bank
robber, William Burk, alias "Billy the
Kid" The man was recently brought
here from Cleveland on a charge of bank
robbery at Cohoes, N. Y. and when lodged
in Jail the opinion was freely stated that
he would speedily be liberated. The facts
concerning the escape to-day are briefly
these:
There are two massive doors, one of iron
and the other of wood, separating the
prisoners cells from the jailors office.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon a young
man entered the Office, and, as usual, was
permitted to talk to the prisoners through
fine wire netting in the doors. While
thus engaged the jailor was called up
stairs, and when he returned the prisoner
and his confidential friend had fed leaving
behind the two keys with which the doors
were opened. Telephone and telegraphic
messages have been sent in all directions,
and Sheriff Houck offers a reward of 81 900
for the arrest of the "Kid." Burke robbed
banker in Cleveland of Sll7, 900, and is
one of the most skillful burglars in the
country.

Comparative Cotton Statement

The following is the cotton stateme,,
for the week ending Jan. 6:
Net receipts at all United
States ports during the
week, 14S33O 111e.a
Total receipts to this date, 3262 ,922 3 35a5o1s
Exports for the week, 121 1885 195eeI

Stock at Liverpool, $4,000 100000
Stock of American afioat for
Great Britain, 100000 $4,000
From the N. Y. Financial Chronicle II
appears that the net overland receipts of
cotton for this year are 373,5lO bales, last
year they were 1857 The consump-
tion of southern mills is put at lOO, 900
bales against $4,000 last year. Receipts
at the ports to January first were a,l96,.
637 bales, against {, 3,454,O ,O99 last year.
Stocks at interior ports are 42l 900, while
last year they were 5000. The result
of the showing is that of the present crop
there have already been marketed 4,Oe2,-
147 bales, against 4, ,s62 last year. So
despite all of the suggestions of short
crop, it would appear that the crop of 1881
is but 8s,7l5 bales short of 1880. But
then the weight of the bales of this crop
average SO far 4744 pounds against 1856
last year, which would make some differ
ence. The receipts from the plantations
last week were l42,97O bales against
9O,019 last year.
Because of the very bad weather in
January, 1881, the cotton marketed that
month was comparatively small. We can
not expect it to be SO small this year. The
result will be, probably, that the indica-
tions during January will point to crop
nearly as large as last year, and the price
may be Influenced by these indications.
1t is because of these comparatively great
recei pts that the price has fallen.
