A FATAL DUEL.-A Morganton, n. c.,
dispatch Of last Saturday to the Charleston
Sunday NeWs says: Information was re-
ceived here tonight of duel which occur
red yesterday in the mouth of mica mine
in Mitchell county, in which Col. Nellis
Borden formerly of Louisville, KY, and
Mr.. Linebeck, of Mitchell county, were the
principals. The weapons used were pistols
Borden was instantly killed. The trouble
between these two gentlemen grew out of
dispute about mining. During the past few
months intense excitement has prevailed
among the people of Mitchell and the ad-
Joining counties, growing out of the dlscov-.
ery in that section of immense veins OF
mica, some of which have yielded as much
as three or four hundred dollars day. The
report of these valuable discoveries has at
tracted mining engineers and spectators
from many sections of the Union. Among
those who visited Mitchell county, attracted
thither by these mines, was Col. Borden,
who was the victim of the meeting this
morning. Col. Borden was we'll known
mining speculator and engineer in Louis
Vile and we'll known throughout this State.
Soon after he went to the mica mine coun-
try he worked several very rich mines,
among which was one claimed by LlneDeck
& Bros, of Mitchell. The meeting between
Borden and Lnebeck to-day grew out OF
dispute about their respective claims to the
mine in which the encounter TOOK place.

CoLoRED CHILDREN AND THESCHooLs.--
Education is universally acknowledged to
be one of the chief corner-stones OF enllght-
ened governments, and all enlightened ma, ),
tions provide for popular education. If it
help all other nations and races why should
it ruin the negro? 1t may ruin negro boys
as a. field M hands, and we believe it does,
but for that matter most white boys do not
enioy field labor much after having had
SCHOOL @ advantages. But if education i'm
proves negroes mentally and morally" can
the white people, in good conscience, on
that account withhold education from them !:
There are $4,000 white and 10000 colored
children in the public schools Id oonen Iar,
these Is, 900 white children are denied the
benefit of the public schools. It can't be as
sumed that they will get an education any
how. Such an assumption would bepuerile.

The NORMAL INSTITUTED teach
er who can possibly spare the time and mon
ey should attend the Institute in Spartan
burg. Board may be obtained in private
families at four dollars week for the ses-
sion. twill be a little higher at the hotels.
The railroads generally give reduced rates
to teachers. The Institute will begin the
18th of July and continue four weeks. A
secretary will be appointed, who will make
all arrangements asto the securing of board.
The following are some of the reasons why
teachers should attend.
1st. Teachers who are not perfect can learn
something.
I'd. They will be the better prepared to
work after old plans or to make new ones.
Sd. The teachers work tends to isolate
him from his fellows and the community.
One session at the Institute will draw him
out and bring him into sympathy and har-
mony with others engaged in the same
work.
4th. They will have more exalted opin-
ions of their profession and work.
9Th. Spartanburg is delightful place to
spend a month or two in the summer. Good
water, mineral springs, fine drives, pleasant
nights and a bracing air make the place at
tractive. -,
9Th. An excursion to the mountains will
be made during the session. This is rev.
elation of wonderful scenery, especially to
persons who have never been in the noun
tains. Special rates are given to those who
wish to run up on the Asheville road on
Saturdays and return Mondays.
7th. In few words, it may be said that
the teachers meeting in Spartanburg this
year, will be furnished with ample means
for Improvement, recreation and social en-
joyment. The daily lectures by the regular
faculty, the special lectures by distinguish
ed educators, and the teachers meetings
will furnish an amount of valuable intorma-
ton that will compensate one for the time
and money spent in coming to Spartanburg.
Let there be grand rallying OF the TEACHERS
of the State. It will do them good.-Coro-

The statue contains SO tons of copper and

"A Washington dispatch of Saturday
says So large number of congressman
are absent at Chicago and elsewhere, or
paired with absent members, that there is
very little prospect of the presence of vot-
ing quorum to dispose Of important contro-
verted measures in the House of Represen-
tatives before the end of the week. The un-
finished business in the Senate is the Utah
bill. Senator Hoar, who has it in charge,
has gone to Chicago, and has requested Sen
ator Ingalls, to take charge of it during his
absence. It will be called up each day, and
if Senators have formal speeches to make
on it the opportunity will be afforded: 1t
is more likely, however, that it will be
temporarily laid aside after being formally
taken up each day, and that the time OF the
Senate will be given to the consideration of
important and non-partisan measures on the
calendar.

square miles. This territory is covered
with houses, some of which are fourteen
stories high and in which fifty families re-
side.
1t is impossible for any one to see much
of New York in two days. It is too large
no one pair of eyes are able to take it in IN
so short time. 1t would take short life
time to gain thorough knowledge of New
York. A month, week, even day makes
q vast difference in the appearance OF things
in some parts of the city. Old houses are
torn down and new ones, larger and grand
er in every respect, are erected In their
stead. In the northern section OF the city
the greatest amount of building seems to be
going on. In fact, there is no place else to
build. Every few years multitudes OF peo-
pie move up town.
In some sections of the city, the houses
are all that immense wealth and the best
architectural skill and mechanical genius
can make them. The Roman Catholic
Cathedral is the finest structure of it's kind
on the Continents. This mighty building
surpasses anything of the kind in the city.
Here the devotees of the Pope of Rome
meet and humble out their devotional SER
vices. Atall times in the day, and perhaps,
night also, individuals may be seen in this
lordly temple. Some of them are reading
and some are praying, while multltudeS
simply come in and bow down to what is by
them regarded as the picture of our Saviour.
One Of the most beautiful places in New
York is the Central Park. This is situated
in the northern portion of the city and con-
tains near one thousand acres of land. In
the northern part of this park stands the
obelisk, which was brought a few years ago,
from the land of the Pharoahs. Your read
ers, no doubt, remember the fact: !tconsists
of single shaft of granite, with four faces
slightly tapering. Each of the four sides is
covered from top to bottom with hierogllyph-
les. The celebrated Vanderbilt bore all the
expense connected with the transportation
and erection of this obelisk.
In Central Park there is everything to
please and instruct. The menagerie is very

TRYING TO BREED OYSTERS.
Prof. Rice to Begin Experiments at the

Prof. Rice to Begin Experiments at the
Cold Spring Fish Hatcheries.
A bill appropriating $1,000 for investi-
eating the causes of the decline of the
oyster yield in and around New York city,
and for devising means whereby the
supply may be increased and oysters may
be protected from their natural enemies,
says the New York Sun, received Gov.
CIeveland's signature on June IA. To-day
Prof. II. j. Rice Of Fish Commissioner
Blackford's Fulton Market laboratory is
to begin experiments at the Cold Spring
fish hatcheries with a view to ascertain
ing whether oysters can be prOpagated
artifcially.
'sAs to the decrease in the annual sup
ply of oysters in the vicinity of New
York." said Prof. Rice, yesterday, sit is
very marked every year. Where there
were formerly prolific natural beds Of
oysters. now scarcely a bivalve can be
found. 1t is the result of careless and
extravagant reaping of the oyster crop.
This is especially true with regard to the
waters on both sides of Long Island and
in Princes Bay; but fishermen know that
it is generally true in every place whence
oysters are brought to the New York
market. Where the destruction will stop
no one knows, and it is late now to try to
arrest it. However, we are putting our
shoulders to the wheel, and will go to the
bottom of the subject, both theoretically
and practically.
"First, we will experiment on artificial
propagation of the OYSTER" said the Pro-
fessor. at has never been successfully
accomplished, because of the difficulty in
keeping the eggs after impregnation.
They are as fine as the finest dust. They
are so small that millions might be con-
tanned in tumbler of water. and yet you
could not see them. Only a microscope
will reveal their presence. The method
of planting oyster beds has been to visit
old oyster beds and gather the seed when
it has grown to the size Of your finger
nail.
GAS to the method of oyster propaga-
t,on . continued Prof. Rice, lit is much Ike
tbafof artificially reproducingfsh. There
il a. female oyster which deposits eggs and a
male oyster which eXudes milt, and from
the contact of the milt with the eggs the
voune oyster is produced. Details of our
method will be ready for publication at a
nrOper time. When we have succeeded,
as we hope, in reproducing young oysters
the old beds in the Sound and on the south
side of Long Island will first be restocked
| After that we will turn our attention tc
| the enemies of the oyster, such as the stal
| fish and the borer"

Three years ago Bennett was janitor OF
