A Rash Editor.

The Cleveland Press permits little
facetious diversion in its State news col
umn, which is conducted by young
Norwalk newspaper man named Foster.
1t is appropriate to say that he is unmar-
ried and unengaged. Last Tuesday he
published paragraph to this effect "a
Marion girl started her graduating essay
as follows: 4 am fairly wearied out
with the incessant prating of the lords
of creation on the duties and sphere of
woman"
The paragraph closed with the some
what dangerous assertion that the editor
would bet new spring hat that the
author of that discourse on womau's
sphere could not bake loaf of bread.
Saturday Mr. Foster received from
Marion large box. 1t contained sundry
light loaves of bread and cake, marvel
ously toothsome. accompanying afli-
davit bore the solemn oath of the sweet
girl graduate (who possesses the pretty
of name Mae Williams) that she had, un-
aided, baked the wheat bread marked
exhibit A." the two specimens of corn
bread marked exhibit B." and the
chocolate cake exhibit c." The no
tary's seal of Office was affixed to the
affidavit, and it was settled beyond a
doubt in Mr. Fosters mind that his rash
wager had been accepted. He therefore
went out and lavished his weeks salary
on a new spring hat Of course, he had
never seen Miss Williams Cincinnati

The Ideal Newspaper.

The Rev. George L. Perrin lectured be-
fore the Young Mems Christian Union Of
Boston recently, the subject being 1.-THE
Ideal Newspaper" He admitted the
wide influence of the press, and said that
by detailing the history of each day and
keeping men informed of passing events
it immensely broadens the horizon
their observations and enlarges their sym
pathies. Then he gave his idea of an
ideal newspaper.
First of all, it would be newspaper,
its first object being to find out and tell
what is going on all over the world. 1t
would persistently aim to tell the exact
and uncolored facts, so that in every
item of news the opponents of the paper
would accept them as unquestionably as
its friends.
The ideal newspaper would not be sen
sational. There is money in such sort o.
journalism, but SO there is in many othel
things equally disreputable.
The deal newspaper would be indie
pendent; independent of all party man
ayers, cliques, sects, and quacks. II
would not be mere trimmer for the
largest circulation, but would be bold
aggressive, full of ideas, and fearless tt
express them.
The ideal newspaper would be mora
in its aim. It would not undertake tt
justify itself in pandering to the morbit
cravings of its worst constituency on tn,
ground that there was money in it. Al
daily historian, commentator, teacher
and advertiser it would stand above it
constituency, and by emphasis, space
and comment be moral in its aim.

HEARrsEAsE.

A single p. nsy-velvet eyed
The flower she loved SO well to see,
Wien life was young and brave and we
Roamed mid the violets, sidc by side.
How sweet the sunlight on the leas,
As buds and blossoms, trees and birds,
Seemed harmed to silence by hor wordsl
And in her hand this sweet heartsease.
Too short tt ore dLysl The tolling bell
Long since proclaimed with solemn sound,
That she had left us heavenward bound:
And now This flower she loved SO well
Locks at me, with remembrance crowned,
Her grace deep in its velvet eyes,
And, many h ed, its beauty lies
Upon her grave and all around.
Hove it WE'LL And, if God please,
Its r"odest beauty, memory fraught
With raptures from those glad days
caught,
Shall bring me then, indeed, hearts ease,
Though now pilgrim, bent and gray,
Upon each velvet blossom plays
The kindly light of vanished days,
And pictured scenes long passed away.
So, when God takes this life He gave,
Plant pansies thic..ly DER my mound,
And let those flowers she loved be found
In sweet remembrance on my grave.

Doctor ]. T. Williams.

DR.. ]. T. Williams arrived home last
Saturday and will very soon hang out his
single to practice medicine. The DIR. is
recent graduate from Leonard Medical
College, and promises to make a fine
doctE. He came to our city about fy
years ago and is remembered as a teach
in our graded school. He is very
bright and studious young man and we
are proud of him. He passed satisfactory
examinations before the State medical
board, of which DIR. Graham of this city
was president. and was admitted to prac-
tlce medicine just as all other regular and
first-class doctors.
Yes, we are proud of him-proud of
him because he is negro, because he is
a native North Carolinian, because he is
an intelligent gentleman, because he is a
regular NJ. d., belongs to the same
society with all our white frst-class doc
tors, because he is recognized by them,
and Will do us good and honor our race.
We trust our people will take hold of
DR.. Williams at once. He has the best
wishes of the MESSENGER. Thrice wei
come, DR.. Williams.

Mourning In corea.

In walking through the streets of Seul
one often meets with figures clothed from
head to foot in a grayish yellow sack
cloth, with bright yellow hats, or rather
broad-brimmed straw baskets, on their
heads; men, moreover, who further dis
guise their identity by holding q strip of
sackcloth stretched on pieces of stick in
front of their faces. These are mourn
ers. In the year 1882 Japanese trav-
eler who landed on the northeast coast
found the officials and all the inhabitants
in this lugubrious masquerade. They
were in mourning for the Queen, who
was supposed to have been murdered,
but who, after the people had worn
sackcloth half year for her sake.
emerged safe and sound from the hiding
place where she had taken refuge from
the pursuit of her wicked father-in-law,
Tai-on-Kun. For Queen it is Gus
tomary to mourn twelve months, for
parents and near kinsfolk three years.
What deep influence this prescriptive
usage has upon the life of people is il
Illustrated by the following story of an
aged bachelor who was asked why
he had never taken wife. my par
ents, as well as myself, F" he said, ''were

rage another three years. Lastly, / had

Missing Newspaper Mail.

1t is the duty and it ought to be the
pleasure of the postal authorities to give
the same attention to newspaper as to
letter mail, but it is unfortunately the
fact that the failure to do SO is conspic-
uous and annoying A feeling appears
to have grown up among postal employees
that newspaper mail is of very little con-
sequence, and the result is that in The
same proportion as they are careful of let
tiers they are careless Of newspapers. Yet
the newspaper is often handy substi
tute for letter, and its contents are apt
to be quite as important. The delin.
quency in this regard is not new Habit
ual neglect Of sccond-class matter, ex-
cused, perhaps, on the ground of the as
sumed prior importance Of iirst-c class mat
ter, has been the rule. The situation
calls for the serious consideration Of the
Postmaster General, who ought to secure
complete reform in this important par
ticular. - Chicogo Herald.

Badly Scared by a Torpedo.

Gardiner Sims told a story the other
day about the trials now being made with
the new torpedoes lately delivered to the
Government at Willett's Point. They
we're testing one of these, and steered it
near to a sailing vessel moving at the rate
of six knots an hour. As it passed near
the ship they could see through their
glasses the whole ships company run to
the rail and look at the torpedo, then
rush into the rigging, the boats, any
where for protection. As soon as this
was observed by the officers they imme-
diately altered the torpedos course, and
laughed as the boats crew came to the
side again to see the danger fading away
in the distance. Eleven and a half knots
an hour were made on this trial, and Mr..
Sims believes that this rate Of speed can
be greatly increased after a time.-NeD

The Monroe brass band made our
streets lively last Monday throughout the

They made pretty good music and earned
pretty good days wages. 1t is good
band and we hope they all enjoyed the
trip to the sea.
The First Baptist church is now
endeavoring to raise money to build a

ton, each having healthy treasury.
Pride of Sharon Lodge of Odd Fellows

it success. Save up for it.
A number of young men were before
the Mayor last Monday morning for
gambling. He inflicted light fine of
s. or $40 upon each. This Mayor John
son did merely to warn the fellows.
Gambling is bad thing, and if Judge

the sharpers thousand Or two thousand
dollars they Will learn lesson of useful
ness. The gambling dens of Charlotte
ought to be broken up.
The State convention of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union will con-
vene in this city next Wednesday. The
temperance work is, in our opinion, a
Christian work and should be encouraged
by all Christians. In youth is the proper
time to instruct for manhood, and one of
the objects of this Christian Union is to
train up the youth in the ways of tenn
perance and morality. We congratulate
these ladies upon the good work they are
doing.
We are pleased to say that our colored
doctor has been most cordially met and
welcomed to our city by the medical fra
ternity- and white citizens generally. DR..
Graham, the president of the State med
ical society, extends to DIR. Williams a
hearty welcome. DR.. Williams comes to
fill an unoccupied place here and will
give no cause for friction with any one.
He is recognized and will be treated
fairly by our white physicians.

suggest to friend Scurlock 1t is now a
good time for him to visit our city. The
society will meet again next Monday af-

We are glad to say the society is doing
splendidly with over fifty members and a
juvenile society connected, in which the
young people are taught the principles
and benefits Of Temperance. ~
