There was beautiful clear sunset that
night. Nancy Pingroo sat looking at it from
her sitting room window. All her heart was
full Of a sweet, almost rapturous peace. She
had had bare, hard life aud now the ono
earthly ambition, pitiful and melancholy as it
seemed, which had kept its living fire, was
granted.
And perhaps that Independent burial in the
vacant corner OF the ghasty Pingree lot
meant more than itself to this old woman,
whose great unselfshness had exalted her
over her almost cowardly pride
Perhaps she caught through it more strong.
ly at the only real prospect Of delight which
ali existence could hold for one like her. Per
haps she saw through ii, by her own homely
light, the Innocent City aud the Angel people,
aud the Sweet Green Pastures and Gentle
Flocks and Still Waters, aud Herself changed
somehow into something beautiful. Perhaps
the grosser ambition held the finer one with
it's wings.
As she sat there, Benny Field came to the
door for Jenny. They were going to walk.
Nancy watched them as they went down
the path. "'I wonder" said she, 'if they are
any happier thinkin' about gettin' married
than am thinkn' about gettin' buried"

A AMEErNG OF RIoH AND INFLUENTIAL LAND
OWNERS was held in London last week, atten
ded by such persons as the duke of Argyll,
the earl of Oarnarvon and the marquis Of
Ripon, at which it was resolved TO form a
large corporation to be called the national land
company, for the purpose OF securing grad
ual breaking up of the great estates of Great
Britain. The plan at the start ia buy land in
large tracts and sell it ia lots not to exceed
40 acres. under conditions to encourage fur
ther subdivision and prevent aggregation of
title; and. proposing to buy for cash, the com
pany will sell on credit, payment to be made
in instalments during q period OF not less
than 10 years. This ia very significant pro-
oeed ng; ii shows that the evils aud the grow
iugs dangers of vast estates in the hands of a
few men, while thousands are psnned in the
destitution and homelessnsss Of cities, and
while the farmers, who are the last reliance
of the nation, cannot own the land they spend
their lives on, nor insure anything but u
constant rent t-paying and poverty creating
life to their children, that these evils and
dangers are beginning to make a practical
impression upon the class who are principally
maintaining them.

returned to the tent, telling by the silent de-

Joy the poor fellow raised the signal flag,

was enough for the relief party they saw

shore with all possible speed. Long rose
again, and fairly rolled down the hill in his
eagerness TO meet them. The launch touch

towards him. The ice pilot of the Bear was
the first to reach him, spoke word of cheer,

the friend above spoken Of, to look over the
scores of photographs that have been sent
Mr. Ross from all sections Of the country.
Mr. Ross will not allow himself to engage in
any pursuit sufficiently confning TO not allow
him 10 leave home at any time to work on
what seems a reasonable clew. He occupies
the position of port warden Of Philadelphia

public sympathy expressed for the Ross fam

....A writer from Washington to the
Raleigh Chronicle who signs himself
negro" says he has been in Martin
ucated at Harvard college. taking the
degree Of A. NJ. During the war he
was a quarter master in the Federal
army. He believes that the white race
must rule. Here is an extract:
AS negro, l rejoice in the elevation
of my race; as man, l shudder at the
possil lie consequences of negro supre-
macy in my native State My expe-
rience of two years in Africa may pos
sibly have prejudiced me against my
own race; but | think not. l believe
the Anglo-SaXon to be superior not only
to the negro, but to every other type OF
man; and | regard the supremacy OF the
negro as an inversion of Gods order
stamped upon nature. l shudder at il
as l shudder to think what England
would be if the Saxon civilization had
yielded to the Mormon, or the European
to the Asiatic.'
He says that negro supremacy is i'm
minent in North Carolina unless the
white people are better educated, be-
cause the negroes at the present time
are being more rapidly educated anc
show more interest in education matters
than do the whites. Says he:
In twenty years there will be at leas
two thousand negroes in Nrrth Carolina
as we'll educated as myself, and th'
great body cf the negroes will be better

| lima, he must be better educated. Th

! We have read what the leading reli
gious Journals Of the State have said, And
they all agreed that it will be wrong be-
cause it will be ruinous TO the deuomlns
tIonal Colleges TO levy a tax upon the
people to run Chapel Hill As BIG fre
schoof We reproduce al opinion as TO
this point from three of our religious ex-
changes that are most widely circulated.
The Raleigh Chr,stian idrocdte l.deth.
odisO says
''sree tuition at the University, while
1t remains IN competition with the eol-
eges, would tend TO cripple and break
down the colleges, and this the State
cannot afford to do. 1t is a. much the
duty of the State to protect the Colleges
as it is to provide tor the University
Both interests must be carefully guarded
And then it is not right to tax those who
are sustaining Coles es, by voluntary con-
contributions, to give free tuition 10 a
class OF young men who do not need it,
when it will cripple aud place at disadvan-
tage the other institutions in the State. "
The North Carolina Presbyterian, pub
lished in this town, says:
I'VE seriously deny the right OF the
Legislature to destroy the denomlnational
colleges of the State by donating large
sums to the establishment OF mammoth
free college. Taxes are raised largely
from the property of friends and suppor-
ters of UNCONVENTIONAL college; these per-
sons will complain, and justly complain,
of the wholesale diversion of such funds
to pull down their educational institu-
tlonS.
IF the University can be made a
school Of technology, or University into
which graduates of other colleges may
enter to prosecute advanced studies, or
anything else which will not bring it into
destI uctive rivalry with other schools, no
objection will ever be raised by US, GER
tainly, but We do not so lose ourselves in
the contemplation of grand top stone
to our common school system as to shut
our eyes to the injustice Of this thing. ="
The Raleigh Biblical Recorder (Bap-
tist) says:
"But we are opposed to a free Uni
versity Of low grade, run in the interest
of any one class OF our people. Our de-
nominational colleges are obliged to
charged tuition, and their friends right.
fully complain that the State should not
come i'll composition with them and al
the same compel the payment of an adj
sum to maintain free tuition at Chape
Hill. Free tuition, ETC., at Chapel Hill
is just ground for complaint by thos,
who are supporting from their privat,
means the colleges of their choice, an,
who are compelled to meet the demant
OF the tax gather for an institution IL
which they have no interest other thar
than which springs from patriotic mo
tives'
The other idea is, shall the Universe
ty be made great school-equal in al
respects to the best of American col
leges? Calling it an University amount
to nothing. Yale College is equal t
the best. An 1cademy is quite as bi:
