WHO WILL He BE?-THATs THE QUEs-
TIoY, BUT MEANTIME ALL WHO ARE POSTED
AND Know THING Oh Two ARE GOVERNED
AccoRDINGLY.-Next week things become
lively in Chicago again. and the gathering
of the clans will be accompanied by the
throng of lookers-on and general sight-seers
which will convert the Garden City into
very Paris of brilliancy. 1t is not to be
wondered at that the remarkably low rates
made over the entire system of the b. & o.
should be attended by so large an outpour-
ing of people. Over the whole line from the
Atlantic, the glorious Chesapeake and the
great rivers to the lakes, the rate is but one
half the regular fare, or one fare for the
round trip. The tickets go upon sale at all
stations on July 3rd, remaining on sale
every day to and including the 7th, good
for use any day and upon any train to and
are good for return trip at any time up TO
and including July 18th. Every aecommo-
dation is being provided by the railroad
company TO insure the utmost satisfaction
and comfort of the patrons and nothing will
be left undone to complete such preparations
as will render the most complete success
certain.
Elegant b. & o. sleepers will be attached
to all through trains, and not only will they
make the trip without change, but new and
most comfortable regular coaches as well.
When it comes to time, the B. & o. has
record which has never been equalled, and
when safety is considered, no road in the
world equals its record for upwards of half
a century. The b. e. o. depot in Chicago is
by all odds the most advantageously located
and the best arranged in that city. Those
who have travelled know what it is to be in
crowded union depot, with the trains OF a
half dozen roads coming in and going out !;
eyerybody's baggage heaped up indiscrim-
inately, and employees so harrassed and both
cred by countless questions as to be in con-
dition to answer none of them to the point.
The passenger becomes if anything more
mixed, and ten to one gets on the wrong
train, has the check for some other fellows
trunk, and upon the whole wishes he had
meyer been born At the Chicago depot of
the B.. " o. there is none of this confusion,
no wrangling, pulling or rhauling. No trains
but its own come in or 60 out. No baggage
piled up of other roads, and everything so
Systematically arranged that getting on the
wrong train: ::or a jumbled condition of things
in any respect is impossible. The depot i'm
mediately adjoins the Exposition building,
it being hardly two minutes walk to the
grand structure which, being the scene of
both Conventions, will undoubtedly mrrk
the spot where the next Presidents name is
finally made certain,

Never before has there been such a
LARGE and continuous strain of lmmigra-
ton from our State as has been going
on this wear. The exodus is to Georgia,
Alabama. Texas, and Florida. 1t is
sad and alarming to see tie large num-
Der of immigrants that load the trains
of the Wilmington x Weldon road since
January set in, and bound, as they all
say, for more prosperous Southern
States. They 20 from all the counties
east of Raleigh, and what is so much to
be regretted. most of them go 10 stay,
taking their families with them. True,
a majority are colored, but many are
whites, and not a lew are men oil means,
and others are mechanics, 1t IS signifi-
cant too that very many OF the negro
laborers who left a year ago to work in
%turpentine and upon railroads have not
returned at all. and nearly every one
who returned has gone back since the
holidays. The two other railway routes
also have taken a large number of i'm
migrants to these States from the mid
die IA ear western counties. Not
only very much of our best labor. but
large amounts of capital. and hundreds
upon hundreds Of our educated and
choicest young me l, have left, and are
still leaving North Carolina.
1t is published, i'll exulting tones. that
the Boston Exposition and other lntiu-
,nces have brought five hundred new
corners 10 our State. and that fifty tami-
lies have settled in different counties
within the last few months. and that
many men are making enquiries, &c,
&c. This is all gratifying of course TO
every true North C%arolinian. But
when it is borne III mind that thousands
have left of late and are leaving. while
only hundreds have come, it shows the
increasing necessity of mending our eff
forts to prevent this sorrowiul and
ruinous drainage Of the very life-blood OF
the State. While our State authorities
claim to be doing what they can to intro
labor and capital into the State. il
~ equally incumbent upon them to

In the South Eastern part of Arson

known a. the Haunted Valley" and
there be few spots that look more pic
turesque or decidedly more romantic than
this, for with the dark dismal ~ravines
that gradually ascend from the deep river
gorges, and the dragged and gigantic rocks
with their moss covered tops, which
seems reared perpendicularly twenty feet
and more from the earth, are of them
selves calculated to awe the strongest
imaginatlons, and while tradition a. well
as the history of the ''Charaw's'' mark
this as the inevitable spot where the
Tories aided by reiDforcements from Tar
letons Mercenary followers, oft times
met the struggling heroes for American
independence In deadly combat And
a towering old oak, under whose limbs
the shadows OF the disloyalist we're as
often left as caught, Is strange to say yet
a living monument of the past sufferings
and casualties as happened in those days.
and strange though true this same tree Is
still alive and as luxuriant as any 10 the

which overlooks the neighboring country

And TO the r~anchman if he desires to

The BLUE AND THE G.AY.-The
Asheville Ctti-ea regrets. As does the
REVIEW, the order which has been issued
by the Adiutant General prescribing a
uniform of blue material for the State
Guard. 1t can see no reason why this
change should be made, nor can We. The
gray has been good enough for Us hereto-
fore aud it will be good enough, we think
10 the end Of this chapter. It seems to
Us that there are plenty OF reasons for re-
tanning the dear OLD color aud hons what
ever for discarding it. The Adjutant
General, or the Governor, or whoever
originated til order sill do well TO recon
slider it.
The gray came into use in the Confed-
crate army, not 20 much as a distinctive
national color a. that military men had
reached the conclusion that strong or
bright colors endangered the life of the
soldier by making him a fairar mark for
the reach of arms Of precision. The Con-
tInental European troops are modifying
the colors, except, possibly, for holiday
parades. The British army has aban-
doned It's traditional red Several distin-
gulshed Northern volunteer regiments
have adopted the gray for the same reason
that governed Its choice by the Confed-
crates, namely, that it was a neutral col
or, and it was serviceable. We regret to
part with the gray and particularly SO if
the suggestion OF the OJseruer that ''the
age Of reconciliation has dawned upon
North Carolina at last, when our troops
don The blue" was the moving cause TO
the order. The South. ever since the
war, has been busy in plucking and ten
dering olive branches. This is the
heaviest one she has presented and it
strikes US as a superservice~ble display
OF anxiety to court the good will of the
loyal people Of the North. The South
has given abundant evidence Of its loyalty
70 satisfy all except those who will never
be convinced. The Ethiopian may
change his skin, and the leopard his
spots" but the Southern soldier, if not
loyal now, will not be made SO by chang
ing the color Of his uniform. Whining

CheerfuIneSS,

\ happy, c%ontented, cheerful DISPOSE
ton has been truly said to be a continual
feast. The man OF woman who take
pains to cultivate this disposition, does
much to ward off the troubles and trials
OF life The man of business has espe
cial need of this frame of mind, inasmucl
as adversities and drawbacks beset him at
every point. A tretful. peevish DISPOSE
ton greatly units him for the stern real
tiles which he is daily called upon TO
meet
Cheerfulness is contagious. Il not
on'y benefits those who practice it, but it,
influence is extended to Others, and is
the means of lifting many a soul from the
slough Of despond into which it has been
cast by troubles and blighted hopes.
rwo old ladies were discussing their
affairs over a pitcher of cider, of which
both we're inordinately fond. Said one
All! Sally, this is a bad, wicked world"
so it is, said Sally, but there "a great
deal Of good cider left an It,. That told
the who'd story. And how true it is with
all that can be said otthis vale oftears, as
the world has rather harshly been termed.
there is really SO much good cider"
and real happiness in it to trose who are
determined to take things as they are"
like Parson snow, without tretting and

but Is within the reach of the rich and the

''Unnumbcred blessings round our

to search them out, and duly appreciate
them. The poet has sensibly SAID
We may be good, we may be just,
But never can we be best,
If happiness have not her seat,
And centre IN the breast.
