BECAUSE HE KISSED A WIDOW.

years editor of the Journal, Oh that city,

man advanced in years to the diknity Of
grandfather. 1t was charged that he
had kissed widow, and, although moth
ing more of worse was urged assinsthim,
yet be was allowed to withdraw from, the
church to avoid charges. He sold out
his paper, his resignation as ipostmxstsr
was accepted before it was rendered, and
he has disposed Of his property with the
intention Of moving from the city. In the
Journal, of yesterday, Mr.. ,Thayer pub
lished card, in which he alludes TO the
reports and ISLANDERS circulated ab0at him.

CHARLOTTE OF MECKLENBURG'"
A Scrap Of History from an Address
before the Normal School at Chapel
Hill, N. C.. on July 81, 1883.

by Kemp F. Battle, Ill. D., Pres, of University
of North Carolina.
In176l, Admiral George, Lord Anson,
with all the pomp and splendor which the
British Navy could supply, was bringing
from Germany a blooming BRIDE to the
young King, George III. Her name was
Charlotte. She was princess of Meek
lenburg Streltz. These names are great
in history.
Few men stand out ia English history
more distinguished for romantic daring as
navigator, for the strong, sturdy quail
ties OF English sailors, descendants of the
old Northmen who issued from their fro
zen fastnesses in Denmark, Norway and
Sweden, like an irresistible torrent, to
conquer the, nations, than George Lord
Anson. He led a squadron around Cape
Horn id the pefils Of winter, and alter
many vicissitudes, cmeumnayigated the
globe. He was the pioneer Of tn, great
victories of the English Navy. File was
the teacher OF Nelson. lie it was who
first announced and acted on the daring
order which has led to 20 many victories
over Overwhelming odds, by English over
French and ,Spaniards, and in the War of
! 1912, BY Americans over English, ''close
with the enemy quito gun, hand to hand,
cutlass to cutlass, 20 matter what odds
against YOU" IN early life he purchased
lands on the waters Of the Pee Dee but
his dreams OF forest happiness were brok
en- by the alarum of war. ln1749, when
at the zenith Of his popularity his name
was given to the. vast country which exI
tended from the limits of BladeD to the
far waters of the mighty Mississippi. d,
George the III began to reign 10 l7GO,
for few short ycau one Of the mort
popular kings who ever sat on throne,
both at home and in. the colonies, though
I in COURSE OF time his 'obstlnacy aliehated
many Of his subjects and lost him the
American possessions. .i;tL
When his BRIDE the honiely but sensi-
BILE and pious Charlotte of Meeklcnburs
Strel,ty, came from the north OF Germany
| to England, She was the favorite Of the
DAY.. Itwas the fashion to admire every
thing German, from the stern Frederick,

blows of the Seven Years War. to the
blooming maidep, whether princess or
"pansemadchen " or goose girl. The bride
was received in London with enthusiastic
oyations. Her manners, conversation and

mendously exciting time. Horace Wal.
pole writes, "Royal marriages, corona
tions and victories came tnmbling over

globe like the work of lady romance
writer. | don't know where | am. ! had
scarce found Mecklenburg Strelitz with a
magnifying glass on the map before | was
whisked to Pondicherry. Then thunder
go the tower guns; behold BrogHe and
Soubrire are totally defeated by Duke
Ferdinand Of Brunswick at the battle Of
Minden." Z" The joy of this period and
the satisfaction over this marriage extend
ed to the wilds of North Carolina, and
the good queens names, Charlotte of
Mecklenburg, we're affixed, as soon as the
news came, to newly created county and
town. She was woman Of noble char
acter. She was model Of domestic vir.
tues, and the court through her influence
was pure in the midst Of a corrupt society.
And when our ancestors, in the angry
passions of war in l779, expunged from
the map the hated names Of Tryon and
Butte, iand when the inhabitants Of this
section were the fiercest fighters against
her husband, their swords sharp as
hornet stings, they allowed the names OF
the good queen to remain as perpetual
tribute to all womanly virtues.
Note the coincidence, that just as Ad-
miral Anson introduced Charlotte Of
Mecklenburg into England, as its Queen,
so in the distant North Carolina the
county of Anson in North Carolina politi-
cal history went before and was usher to
the county~Of Mecklenburg.
1t should be warning lesson to all
rulers that only thirteen years alter this
ebullihon of loyal affection, the most de.
iant resolves and the most spirited action
against England's King came from those
enlightened men, whose county and town
bore the name of England's Queen. The
chords of sentimental devotion snapped
when strained by hard and real assaults on
inherited liberties. With many sigh
over the sweet past, now turned into bit
terness, our ancestors addressed them
selves to the stern task before them.

FEDERAL AID IN EDUCATION.
The Interstate Convention at Louis
vile, KY.

The Interstate Educational Conven-
tion met at Louisville on the 10th instant,
Judge Beckner presiding, Col. Asbury
Coward, the State Superintendent of Edu.
cation Of this State, was present as one OF
the delegates, the States representa- d
being: Alabama, California, Connecticut,
District Of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, To-
diana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missou-
ri, New York, Pennsylvania, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee,
/ Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia.
At the session Of the convention on
Thursday the proceedings were opened by
the introduction of a preamble and reso-
lutions by the Hon "a. s. Willis, of Ken
lucky, reelting that the convention ap-
proves most heartily the adoption ofsome
measure of material legislation which shall
carry out the measures which are now
pending in Congress looking to an appro.
miation to be distributed among the sew
eral States in aid of popular education,
The resolutions were referred to the COM
mittee on resolutions. '
/ Dr. S. L. NJ. Curry, Of Virginia, en-
tered into an interesting discussion of the
subject of Federal aid to State schools. "
After showing that the basis Of all free
dom was intelligence and integrity, and
that no legislation was 50 important as
that which would lead TO the education Of
the people, DR.. Curry argued that uni
versal education, even approximately,
was impossible, except through Govern
ment aid. He asserted that it was fact
that universal education had never exist
ed through private aid. Prior to the
war, the slave excluded, tho wealth Of the
South was greater than any other coun-
| try. It had its colleges, but 1t had no
public schools, so that only the wealthy
few had the advantages of education,
and It was d lamentablei fact that the
mass of the people was ignorant and illit-
crate.
! According to tho speaker, dcnomina.
tional education would never affect O
whole community, aud the cheapest de-
fence for the property and lives of the
citizens of any State was education. lie
stated that in the entire South, at pres
ent the entire school fund was paid by
the white man, though it was equally dis
tributcd among both whites and blacks,
Hc prarsed Kentucky for her recent ac
ton in putting both white and colored
children upon an equal basis as regards
the distribution of''school money. He
