The Danger OF the Future.

North Carolina now has a licensed lay
lawyer-Miss Anna Holton. Of Guiliofi
and a licensed lady Doctor. Miss Anna
Laurie Alexander, daughter OF DR.. }. b
Alexander Of Necklenburg. Both have
regular sheepskins, in accordance with
law, and in the face Of disaiyantage atd
outside pressure which few ::uen could
have sustained, much less overcome.
" e see little need for lady lawyer: but
there i a decided propriety III having t.
male physicians We have not a doubt
that scores Of supeI-sensltIve girls either
ruin their health or lose life itself, rather
than tell their ailments to a man. OF
course these are cases of girls without a
mother, or elderly female relative to force
them to submit TO treatment
Any how whether we approve or not,
the coming Of Or. Annie. and DR.. Bessie,
and Kate Smith, VI. D., is something
you may as well set down for certainty:
so we copy a suggestion for our bachelor
friends in reduced circumstances
|
Twas April when she came to town,
The birds had come, the bees were
swarmIng.
Her name she said WAS Doctor Brown
| saw at once that she was charming.
She took a cottage tinted green,
Where dewy roses love to min1le;
| And on the door next day was seen
A dainty little single
Her hair was like an amber wreath
Her hat wa, darker, to enhance it.
The violet el Is that glowed beneath,
Were brighter than her keene,.-nceti
The beauties OF her glove and gown
The sweetest rhyme would fail to utter,
Ere she had been a day in tow
The town was 10 a tiutter.
The gallants viewed her face aud hands,
And swore they never saw such wee
things;
The gossips met in purring bands
And tore her piecemeal Ger the tea
things.
The former drank the doctors health
With clinking cups the gay carousers;
The latter watched her door by stealth,
just like SO many mouserS.
Her patients thronged the village street;
Her snowy slate was always quite full,
Some said her bitters tasted sweet,
And some pronounced her pills de-
lightful,
Twas strange Il knew not what it meant,
She seemed a nymph from Eldorado,
| Where er she came, where'er she went,
Grief lost its gloomy shadow.
Like all the rest, l, too, grew i'll;
My aching heart there was no que
ling.
| trembled at my doctors bill
And lol the items still are swelling.
The drugs I've drunk you'd weep to
hear
They've quite enriched the fair concoc-
ter.
And I'm a ruined man. | fear
Unless-I wed the doctor.

THREE MURDERERs TO HANG ON
THURsDAY.-The Fayetteville Sun says
Judge Avery sentenced Tom NJ. Tee,
Tom Mcneil, and Joe Howard, to lie
hanged on the 18th Of July next.
More murders have been committed
in Cumberland in the last Is months
than in that period at any time since the
war. Four foul dastardly murders in less
than three months.
THE first one was Roysl's murder OF
Chance. He killed him with an axe and
then literally chopped him to pieces, in
the presence of several witnesses, he es-
capped arrest. The second was Joe How
ard, who assassinated Cullen Blackman
within 50 yards of the latter house.
Thomas Gee, a very aged negro man
murdered a white woman within a mile
of the court house. Between them there
is supposed to have been an undue init
macy. He murdered her with some blunt
instrument breaking her skull. He has
also received the same fate as Howard.
The fourth was fratricide Two negroes
| in seventy-first township Mcneil by name
got into a dispute which terminated in
the murder of his brother by Thomas
| Mcneil, recently sentenced to share
Howard and Gees fate.

ambassador. Lord Randolph Churchill de-
clares himself too much occupied with the az

Immediately from Egypt. Sir Henry Drum

making Woodstock his stopping place between
London and Cairo to deliver speeches for Lord
Randolph Churchill The ministers here are
busily occupied with secret conclaves. All the
elements of the new drama are ready, only
awaiting the signal on Monday. Sir Henry

IONS about Egypts condition. Egypt" says
the Sahdard, ''iies before English statesmen as
an open book" therefore what everybody here
Is wanting to see is what action Lofd Salisbury
Will take. The retention of Dongola, at any
rate as lar as Akasheh, is understood to be the
suggestion Of Lord Wolseley, and his return to
London Is evidently for a final decision of the
whole Soudan question, except So far as the
