them in the late afternoon, stayed till
the sun sank away, and fingered still
in the fading twilight, to be remind
ed that beauties also brighten as they
take their flight. We attended church
on Sunday at ImmanuePs Chapel.
Rev. A. G. Dixon, one of North Car
olina's brightest sons, is the pastor.
He was away, and DR.. T. j. Jones,
of Norfolk, ably filled his pulpit. Mr..
Dixon's is new church, but he is
doing wonderful work for the Bap-
lists there. The most interesting
place was the mandatory of St.
Jacobs Oil. It is too immense to
attempt description. Tuesday
morning an express train on the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad snatched us
over to Washington and returned us
at a o'clock at the rate of 40 miles
in IS minutes It is no trivial affair
to have the pleasure of visiting the
metropolis of such country as our
own commonwealth. We quickly
wendell our way to the Capitol and
fastened to get a view, from the top,
of Pennsylvania Avenue. We were
much interested in looking through
the different departments. The
Smithsonian Institute, the National
Museum, the Navy department, are
all places of great interest. The
miniature town Of Zuni is one of the
most interesting things we saw. 1t
is a fac simaile of the town of Zuni,
in the extreme western part of New
Mexico, on a knoll on the banks of
the Zuni river. The town is inhab-
tied by the Pueblo Indians, and the
perfect representation of their town
is much more interesting than can be
described. It was interesting to
note that in the entrance to the Ma
Wy Library there is statue from
Pompeii. Many other curiosities
claimed our attention, but we were
especially struck with the beautiful
grounds around the Agricultural de-
partment.
Our time for returning home had
arrived and though we had taken
in all the places Of interest, we had
to turn away and hope for the oppor.
tunity of visiting that beautiful city
again. Arriving at Baltimore we
shared the pleasures Of our friend
Pool, of Raleigh, spent another pleas.
ant night on the bay (and we did not
get sick either left friend Poole at
Weldon, and in due time we were
home again, having enjoyed to the
fullest extent week of travel if not
one Of rest.

The ablest address on the all i'm
portant subject of education that we
have had the pleasure Of perusing for
some time, was delivered by DR.. S.
S. Satchwell, of Fender county, Be
fore the Academy at Point Caswell
and published by request in the
Golsboro Messenger of recent date.
More such addresses will do much
to foster and encourage the cause of
Of education in our State. In his
address the doctor says:
No true and thoughtful citizen who
loves North Carolina, and is devoted
to the best interests of her people,
can view, without sorrow and alarm,
the painful fact that, in popular edu.
cation she stands the lowest in the
scale of all the States. If any Of us
can partake of the enjoyments of life
by day, or enjoy the sweet repose of
sleep by night, without being disturb.
ed by this melancholy truth, we are
either wanting in patriotic devotion,
or have not given proper considera-
ton to the significant fact, in the
science of government, that educa-
ton Of the masses is the corner stone
and life blood of free institutions. No
free government, State or national
can prosper or stand unless its citi-
zens have integrity and intelligence
Without these qualifications no peo-
pie can govern themselves. Unless
the masses have sufficient intelligence
to understand the principles of gov
eminent. and to direct its admins
tration, its foundation is shaky, and
they become the willing dupes and
victims of the various grades of char
latans, demagogues, and imposters
that lnfest every community of oul
ignorant stricken State. Not only
therefore does republican gov ern-
ment demand higher grade ofintel
ligence than any other form, but ed
!, ucation is essential to the very life
I and progress of civilization. This
fact is recognized in the operation!
of despotic governments of the ole
world. as we'll as in our own free gov
eminent.

there, he was lmpelled by the same mysterious
power to go into liquor store for luncheon.
Not liking the looks of the place, he went INTO
another of the same kind. The mysterious
power was evidently an evil one or 1t would
have led its victim into some otter place OF re-
ireshment. BY the time he had entered the
second liquor store, his control OF himself had
gone, and his recollection also nearly failed
him. He was induced to drink some beer.

subsequently, unable to state, and he also tried
his hand at game of cards with bar-room

was failure, bat the dimensions OF the failure
are not given, through a weakness OF memory.
Subsequently he emerged from the back door
of the saloon, lost his way, bat finally got home
in more or less bewildered condition. We
are not informed whether or not the chill was

CHILLS.

The malarial chill is one of the most
thoroughly established of American institu-
tons Ii prevails in all parts of tho land, and
is at once the most troublesome and the most
convenient complaint known to mankind In
some cases the chill is quite slight, and the
malarial symptoms are very strong In others
the chill is the principal development and it
attains dimensions which were never dreamed
of when the complaint was in its infancy.
Probably the most powerful chill on record was
experienced early In the present month 10y a
clergyman in Orange County, n. l., whose
case was reported in THE TRIBUNE the other
day. II had been racking this pious person for
some time and he had been trying to quiet it
with quinine. This remedy not piovng efica-
cious, patishiOner recommended whiskey and
furnished jug of it. When the clergyman felt
the chill gathering its powers for fresh wres-
tie, he lifted the jug to his lips, and, he says,
adrank thoughtlessly." The context appears
to justify the inference that he meant to say
acopiousy." Tho effect on the chill was very
remarkable.
1t at once started the reverend gentleman on n
walk. Happening in his walk to come to a rail-
road station, he was impelled by some power he

THE REpUBLICANs or ono.

There ia q great deal of talk about what the
Republicans of Ohio had better do. Az usual,
the lOudest and the most OF this talk comes
from those who slanGered all the leading Re-
nnblican statesmen Of Ohio, have quarrelled
with everything that the Republicans OF ONO
have done, have received all their victories
with outward amazement and more OF less IN
ward DISGUST. and have followed all their de-
feats with the familiar told you So" Per
hans the solcitude of such persons does not
greatly impress the Republicans OF Ohio; at all
events. their advice never has any weight. But
they begin their solemn chattering early every
season, all the same.
The Republicans Of Ohio have manifested the
possessio1 of considerable worldly wisdom III
times past Subjected to change of popula-
ton greater, perhaps, within the past twenty
five years, than any other important State has
exnerienced affected also in remarkable de-
gree by all the industrial changes OF two de-
cades of industrial reconstruction and revolu-
ton used as a sort OF srawnlng-p0nd by all
the political horesies notions and lsms Tor
quarter of century. Ohio has still been held
TO the Republican party in every decisive cleo
ton. The Republicans who have possessed the
sagacity requisite for this work have also con-
trived to secure q very satisfactory share Of
bonor and power for themselves during all the
changes since 1860, and we do not see much
evidence that they are all dead, or that their
hands have lost their cunning In worldly
point of view possibly they have managed their
affairs quite as well as any OF their critics have
managed their own. For instance, when Mr..
Sherman is decorated with censure by Mr.
Howard Carroll, one remembers that Mr. Sher-
man, since he presided over the first Republican
State Convention in Ohio. has been elected four
times to the House, tour times to the Senate,
and has spent as Secretary of the Treasury the
rest of twenty EIGHT years of continuous public
service, while it is Mr.. Carrols distinction that
the majority against him As candidate for Con-
eress was over one hundred thousand. In very
many other instances, the comparison of polit-
zeal histories to date would be IA little to the
advantage of habitual critics, and as much to
the credit of Ohio leaders.
Then, too, the Republicans of Ohio have man
| ifested teacha bleness-the one quality which Ia
