The press of the State have quite
generally complimented Mr.. JOHN S.
LONG for his excellent sketch of FEN
NO B. SATTEKTHwAIrE, which ap-
peared in The SENTINEL few weeks
ago. The Raleigh Chronicle, and the
Progress and the Gazette both of
Washington have reproduced the arti-
Gle entire, while Mr.. K1NGsBURY, of
the Wilmington Star in commenting
on its merits says, "Of course it is
well DONE" and the New Berne
Journal contained the following:
John s. Long, Esq, is contributing a
series of articles to the Winston Sentinel,
the first of which appeared in Thursdays
paper and was upon the Recollections of
Fenno B.Satterthawite, of Washington. Mr..
l.. brings out inbold relief many of the ex-
cellent qualities of this truly noble man,
and it will be a valuable addition to the
biographical literature of this section of
North Carolina.

EDUCATIONAL ITEMS.


A few centuries ago teacher was
called lore-smith.-Southern Jour-
saalist
The highest object of education is
development.-Dr. James Freeman
Clarke.
Education is not confined to books.
The world is great school.-E. T.
Ioacbridge.
Much of the usefulness of a teac her
depends upon what the pupils think
of him.-sShooI Journal.
We can better do without armies
and navies than without education
for the masses.-Robt. c. Winthrop.
cit is better to inspire the heart
with noble sentiment than to teach
the mind a truth of science.-Ed-
yard Brooks.
The popular craze" business is
nowhere more dangerous than in ed
ucational affairs. Any educational
movement, when made to assume
such character, becomes little bet :
ter than she "roller-skate craze"
EFT i'd ona,.e gerues.-C. W. Levens.
THE SENTINEL is pleased to note
the establishment of new school at
Oaks, Orange Co., n. G. Mrs. L.
w. Weathersbee, formerly of Chapel
Hill, is principal and Misses McIver
and Howard are assistants. The
fall. term begins on the 9th of August
and continues 20 weeks.
The SENTINEL acknowledges the
receipt of an invitation to a grand
union Educational Picnic, to take
place at Leaksville on August 18th.
The object of the picnic is to awaken
a greater interest in the cause of ed
ucation. The following compose
the committee: J. M. Price, c. S.
Hamlin, J. H. Lane, J. B. Taylor.
Union Literary Academy, Lambs
vile, Chatham county, will open on
August 10th. Mrs.. B. Turrentine,
graduate of the University, is prin-
cipal and is assisted by Miss Flora
A. Dixon, Mrs. w. G. Turrentine,
and Mr.. S. M. Durham. This school
has already made some reputation
and is we'll equipped for doing good
work.
The latest in the way of words is
"Spook." Its new meaning is sup
posed to have originated in New
berne. It was scattered broad
cast at the Black Mountain
Teachers Assembly and is now
part of North Carolina vocabulary.
Its meaning is something like ''to
court, !" "talk soft" &C. "Spoo king"
at Black Mountain was always in
order, we imagine.

CONVERSATIONAL ART.

A Rare Gift Which Requires Inspiration -
We'll knowledge.
Between talking and conversation, in
its finest possibilities, there is as wide
difference as between walking and
dancing. Conversation is one of the
fine arts, and we venture to assert that
it is a rarer one than music. There can
be found dozen people who can rem
der sonata acceptably, who can pro-
duce an average drawing or painting
or write a readable novel, to one who
has the gift, the grace, the supreme
charm OF conversation. 1t is the art of
arts. 1t necessarily includes all others,
not in matters of technical knowledge,
but in their essential elements. Only
true culture-that culture which is an
achievement, not an external acquire
ment-can produce conversation. Talk
is cheap and largely mechanical, and
Is OF no Importance save as one of the
conveniences of existence; but CONVEX
sation is a gift of the gods. A woman
IS by no means necessarily cultivated
because she happens to have studied
this, or known that, or because she has
travelled, or lived in a certain grade of
society. True these things conduce to
culture, but they do not necessarily
confer it. To know this or that fact
in history or in art, to have read q
novel, or listened to an opera is of
little consequence unless there has been
a response in mental vigor, unless these
isolated data give their fine aroma,
their essence, that enters into and is
assimilated in character and re-
produced by intellectual activity.
The average woman may be
taught to be pianist, as she may
be taught embroidery; she may be
trained to a certain technical degree of
excellence in pictorial art; she may be
cultivated in all conventional forms of
etiquette; but she can no more be
taught, by external means, to be a good
conversationalist than she can be
taught to write q novel or a dramatic
poem. It is the tragedy OF life that the
generality of people have nothing on
earth to say that is worth the saying or
hearing They have read the latest
novel; they have met the reigning
social Hon. But what have they to
show for it? They will inform you
that they Hke-er dislike, as may be-
the novel, the opera, or the Individual.
And what does that signifyp Their
personal preferences or prejudices are
OF no possible consequence. But the
woman who can dramatic her impress
sions-who has certain definite reasons
for the faith that is in her, who can tell
you what the author means in the
novel, or to what degree the artist
realizes lyric art, or who can define for
you something in the personality of t1e
reigning social lion of the moment
how rare and how precious does such
one make the hour. She brings to life
new insights, new magnetisme; new
forces. Conversation IS, too, very
largely spiritual relation. with
one man." says Emerson, II walk
among the stars, while another pins
me to the WALL Conversation is
stimulated, drawn out, OF repressed
and extinguished to q great degree by
these mutual magnetisms Of tempera-
ment-Boetop TS1ce&e1.

PERSONAL,

There is postofflce in Texas named after
Senator Vance.
DIR. T. D.sHaigh, of Fayetteville, has been
appointed by Gov. Scales, Director in the
North Carolina Insane Asylum at Raleigh, in
place of Mr.. W. s. Battle, resigned.
Rev. W. Wildman, now of Richmond, Va,
has accepted call to the pastorate of Spring
Hill Baptist Church, near Laurinburg, N. c.
and will return to this State soon.
P. M. Hale, veteran editor and one of the
brightest and ablest writers in the State, is
sick with what his friends fear is very SER
ious disease. He has in a great part lost hi g
ability to speak.
The Governor kept up to his standard of ap-
pointments in appointing Mr.. George H
Brown. of Washington, Judge Advocate Gene
raj of the North Carolina State Guards, vice
Judge E. T. Boykin, resigned.
The man referred to by Senator Vance as
brave enough to fight rattlesnake through a
fence and give the serpent the first sting, was
Captain Kitchin, of North Carolina, who was in
Congress one term.-Amgasta Chronicle.
Gov Scales will go to Reidsville in few days.
He will later spend some time at one of the
summer resorts. He expects to make a trip
over the line of the Atlantic & North Carolina
Railroad and to visit Morehcad.
Mr.. NJ. V. Lanier, of Oxford. has reconsider
ed his determination not to allow his name to
go before the convention for Supreme court
nomination and his friends will push him and
secure his nomination if possible.
Mr.. Thomas Dixon, Jr., who recently pub
lished a card Withdrawing from politics, be-
cause, as he said, he could mot be politician
and christian, has entered the ministry. He
preached his first sermon in the Baptist church
CT Shelby, on Sunday, July 25th, and it is rep
resented as being very creditable effort.

A BUsINEss PROPOSITION.


The efforts that are made from time
to time to give our readers new at
fractions cost money and we look to
them for the "wherewithaP, to defray
these extra expenses. Notwithstand-
ing this has been very dull year,
The SENTINEL is to be congratulated
upon the promptness with which its
patrons have come forward and paid
their subscriptions. There are still a
few who have neglected this impor-
tant duty either from force Of circum-
stances in some cases, and others from
force of habit. These readers are
just as warm friends Of The SENTI-
MEL as the more systematic ones, and
can at almost any time cancel their
arrears. It is our desire that all our
subscribers stand on the same footing,
and to bring about this result, we
make the following offer:
We will PRESENT one of our hand
some Autograph crayons of Governor
SCALES to every subscriber who be-
tween now and the LIST of July pays
up to January LIST, 1887. We want
to begin the new year Of 1887 with
clean books and we make this early
start to do it. After each account is
settled up to January LIST, it will be
no difficult matter for all of our SUBJ
scribers to make their annual payment
henceforward as they become due. By
this adherance to business method, we
will be relieved of the unpleasant task
of reminding our readers of their ar
rears, and it will. allow us to expend
more time and money and energy in
improving The SENTINEL, and max
ing it even more popular newspaper
than its present increase in circulation
would justify us in believing it to be.

BUNCOMBE,s L1rTLEJUDGE.

The other day the Asheville Citizen,
half humorously, half earnestly, in
speaking of so many hung juries in
Buncombe Inferior Court, remarked
that perhaps it would be better for
the county if all hands, including
Judge, jury and lawyers were hung.
This little witticism failed to touch
the judge on the ticklish point and he
forthwith brought Messrs. FURMAN,
STONE & CAMERON court and
tried them for contempt! This was
not all, for the little dignitary whose
bristles had been stroked the wrong
way, proceeded to impose a fine of
three hundred dollars!
Shade of departed Justice! What
are we coming to? It seems that an
editor can not even express his opin-
ion IS to the propriety of swinging up
little county judge, without incur
ring the anger and punishment cork
ed up in that august personage's vial
of wrath The dignity of the Mika-
dos Koko-Lord High Executioner,
becomes the tamest servility when
compared with the over weening self
respect of Buncombe's little-big auto
crat.
Seriously, we think this a most un-
just, uncalled for act of mock justice
and approaches too near the system of
espionage which certain European
governments exercise over the press.
As an advocate of the freedom of
the press, The SENTINEL believes it
i'll accords with our nations constitu-
ton, and as man, and a citizen of
North Carolina, we protest most earn
estly against such an act of outrage
and littleness coming from an official
pretending to administer the laws of
our State.
Not only has Mr.. SHUFoRD made a
spectacle of himself, as a man too
small to fill his Office with dignity and
reason, but he has attempted to over
throw one of the grandest principles
incorporated in our government. His
unutterable conceit and self-impor-
lance, rival that of FEB VANcE's
"town cow"
Never since 1868, has there been
such an instance of misused power by
the courts. We shall be glad of the
day when the county commissioners
and justices of the peace shall refuse
to place man upon the bench whose
littleness and deplorable incompetency
are so glazing and so outrageous.
