Work.
Friday evening June 9Th. the commence
mens exercises of the Raleigh Male Acaxie-
my were held in Tucker Hall in the pres
enee OF Large and appreciative audience
The exercises were As follows:
Prayer by Rev. J. 5. Watkins. Dccla-
nations: Appeal 10 the People OF South
Carolina" by John ii. Rogers, ..Mas.a-
chusetts and South Carolina by Z V.
Harris; "Falue of Classical Education, -
10y James W. McGce; '.Shamus O'Brien, i"
by C. j. Merrimon; The stars and
Stripes, by Thos J. Stephenson. Voices
of the Dead, 3" by Andrew W Goodwin.
The Tariff" by Perrin Busbee; The
trasted," by John W. Marshall; The
Teacher, the Hope of America" by Eddie
H. Sholar; THE South Faithful To her
Duties, by John G. Engelhard
Annual address by II. A. London, Esq,
of Pittsboro.
The boys declaimed remarkably well.
especially Masters Perrin Busbcc, John
Engelhard and {. j. Merrinlon
Mr.. Londons address .as full OF many
interesting facts and excellent advice
Capt. Fray thanked the audience for
their attention and said he regretted to
announce that Mr.. Jackson, who was an
able and successful teacher would not be
with them next session, which begins Sept
1st. The boys made very interesting
commencement.
The continued and increasing success of
the Academy under the management of
Messrs Fray and Morson is source of
qualification to the citizens of Raleigh.
They began their work six years ago
with fifty pupils and during the session
just ended they had 1873. No institution
in the land has the patronage OF larger
proportion of the foremost people in its
community than this school has, especially
of the people of Raleigh, and to certain
extent of the neighboring counties. The
best men in the city not only patronize it
but are proud of it.
The position that the Academy holds in
the community is unique. Unluckily in
most Southern towns no larger than Raj
eigh, there are half dozen private prepar
atOry schools-too many for any one of
them to be what it ought to be. On
the other hand, it is not a pretentious
effort ''to prepare students for practical
life" 1t is more nearly like the Eng
lish preparatory schools for boys than al
most any other school we have in North
Carolina. Beginning with the fact that a
boy is a boy, and must be handled and
trained as a boy, and deserves thorough
instruction indeed more thorough, If
any distinction is to be made) in his pre-
paratory studies as in his college career,
Messrs. Fray and Morson, we'll trained
teachers, acquainted with our education
al methods and necessities, have solved
the problem for us here. Their school
fills the measure Of Raleigh's necessity
precisely. A boy there is under good dis
cipline, in the hands of good teachers, and
in most excellent companionship with
other boys.
The work of these gentlemen goes on
during tn. year so mOdestly and quiet
ly, that THE CHRONICLE makes no apollo
gies for congratulating its patrons once a
year on such an institution and for saying
that we all have reason to be proud of it.

1t is common to hear the complaint
that the profits of farming have become
very small. The truth of the matter is,
that circumstances have put farmers
upon a basis of business principles, and
the farmer who is a business man,
makes money; the one who is not makes
none. To obtain the highest profits
from his business, the farmer must use
his brains more than he did thirty years
ago. Land is higher and competition
is sharper; the best farmer ought to
know just what each crop, each field,
and each animal has put in or taken out

know what crops are most profitable
upon each particular field, and what

PAPER AND INK,
How They Are Responsible for Defects in
the Eyesight.

How They Are Responsible for Defects in
the Eyesight.
The colors of paper and ink are fan
more responsible for defective eyesight
than cross-lights from opposite win
dows, light shining directly in the face,
insufficient light, or small type. If
these were remedied the principal cause
of the mischief would still remain, the
real root of the evil being the univer-
sally used black ink and white paper
These, says the writer in question, are
running the eyesight of all the reading
Nations. He argues that the rays of
the sun are reflected by a white body
and absorbed by a black one, and that
we print our newspapers and books in
direct opposition to the plainest correct
principles of optical science. A book
or newspaper as now printed being read
by us, the eyes do not see the letters,
which, being black, are non-reflective;
the outlines of the impressions of the
type reach the retina, but they are not
received by the spontaneous, direct ac-
ton of that organ. The white surface
of the paper is reflected, but the letters
are detected only by a discriminative
effort of the optic nerves. This constant
labor irritates the nerves, and, when
long continued, exhausts their suscepti-
bility As proofs, the writer cites the
well-knOwn fact that the human eve
can not long sustain the glare of a
white surface without injury. The sun
light reflected from fields of snow, I'M

or from the white sands of the desert,

thalmia.

the eyes of all reading people would at
once be relieved of a binding strain-a
continuous effort bound to result in per-
manent weakening of the eyes. Ma
ture and science, says the writer above
quoted, tell us that the color of all
printing paper should be green. Green
grass covers the ground, green leaves
are on the trees and green is the color
most grateful to the eye.
Green newspapers would be a novel
ty, but in time we would grow accus-
toned to the tint; green school books
would please the children; but green
grounds would sadly mar the high art
engravings for which a number of
American magazines have become
noted. And, if our scientific friend is
correct in his conclusions, green paper
would sadly cripple the trade in eye

HOUSE PLANTS.
How to Attain Success in the Cultivation of
Indoor Plants.


Indoor Plants.
Success is not always attained in the
cultivation of indoor plants, not alone
in producing bloom but in even retain
ing life, and the reason may be charged
to the neglect of some minor details. 1t
is not necessary to have a large pot and
large bodies of soil, as too often that
viii induce the growth of roots at the
expense of bloom and beauty. Then,
too, little attention is given to tempera-
ture during the colder months, as a
room containing plants will frequently
show a temperature of eighty degrees,
and as the fire dies out fall to sixty de-
grees, or even less. This is most disas-
troUs to plant life. Again. plants are
liable to collect dust on their leaves.
which excludes the necessary effects of
moisture Many people think that an
excess of water used in mOisteninp
plants viii not occasion harm. This is
a grave error. As good a plan as any
is TO cover the surface of the pots with
tea leaves or some substance thatawill
retain the moisture and also assist in
equalizing the temperature. A dish of
water set in the plant-room viii con-
tribute, by its evaporation, a degree of
mustn't 10 1iC plaiOS- W attE III IuOlSl7
ening plants should be about the same
temperature as the room, and the pots
turned every day or two so as to pre-
sent a different side to the sun. A tea
spoonful of ammonia to a gallon of
water is an invigOrator to plant life, and
will frequently induce profusiOn of
bloom. Try to keep the temperature of
the room in which your plants are stu
atcd at as even and steady a HEIGHT as
possible, and do not give too much
water, but enough to keep them moist.
