Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.

Please allow NE, Mr.. E'litor, il little
space in the columns of your valuable pa
per that ] may give public expression to
the qualification felt by all who had the
privilege of attending the annual concert
which, few evenings since, closed the ex-
ercises of the we'll l-known aud deservedly
popular school for young ladies so ably
conducted by the Misses Nash and Miss
for many years the centre of education
in North Carolina. The orits of this ad-
mirable school are too well known to re-
quire, in this hasty sketch, "A detailed men
ton; but | must here make an assertion,
which will find an answering echo in the
hearts and minds of the many parents who
have patronzed the school, that. to those
who desire their daughters thoroughly
trained, carefully watched over, and
brought up in an atmosphere physically
and morally pure, this institution offers
the highest inducements.
The recent concert was conducted by
Miss kanOuse, teacher of undoubted
taste and ability, and well did her fair
rosy checked pupils acquit themselves: all
doing well, and, showing to the utmost
extent their careful training, did full jus
tice to their accomplished teacher. Thanks
and praise are due them all, from the
junior misses to the more advanced schol
ars, Misses Kirkland, Cunningham, IiOr
ner and Jones, whose brilliant performan-
ces in solo, duet and quartet, delighted
the entire audience.
May all good things be granted to this
excellent school and its faithful Principals,

An Artist to Spend the Summer in Wc--
tern North Carolina.

Mr. F. J. Fisher, of Washington ID. c.,
a well known and popular Artist and
teacher of art, has decided to spend the
coming Summer in the mountains of North
Carolina-wth number of his pupils,
including Misses Best and Dowd-for the
purpose of portraying upon canvass some
of the picturesque scenery in the noun
tains of North Carolina; and We earnestly
hope that in transferring the grandeur of
those mountain scenes upon canvass, he
and his class will be so successful as to
cause every lover of the grand and beanti-
ful in nature, as they gaze upon those
pictures, to visit this, the grandest of all
the States on this continent. The party
will leave Washington the first week in
July and return about the first middle
of November
Mr. Fisher has had students from almost
every State and Territory in the Urion.
Among his present pupils from North
Carolina, are Misses Matte DOwd, daugh
ter of Hon. G. DoWd, of Charlotte. and
Roberta Best, daughter of Robert w. Best,
Esq, of Raleigh, now sojourning in Wash
ington City.
1t was the privilege of this writer, when
in Washington {. few weeks ago, to inspect
some Of Miss Best's work, both in crayon
and oil The full life size crayOn portrait
of little Natalie Albritton, is good pic
ture so life like, and executed in the best
style of the art Miss B. is certainly de
veoping wonderful talent in drawing
and painting and we wish her abundant
success.

According to the Tarboro Souther-
ner the colored population of that town
are excited over the alleged talking of a
negro baby fifteen minutes after it was
born, when three times in succession it
distinctly pronounced the word mother"
Since then the child, it is affirmed, has
kept up an almost ceaseless babble in its
efforts to talk.

ty Disease fastened its clutches upon
her and for seven years she withstooh its
severest tests, but her vital organs were
undermined and death seemed imminent.
For three months she coughed necessarily

bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption and was so much relieved on
taking frs dose that she slept all night

CAN YOUR BOY SWINE?

: -is .f, s..t F.-F.E
Can your boy swim? No. Then do
not trust him in any sort of boat until
he has learned the art, and feels as
much at home in the water as upon
dry land. You might JUST rs swell
send. him out alone into a crowded
street before he had, learned to walk,
He might possibly creep along all
right, and reach home alive or some
body might pick him up and for
him, but the chances: would not be in
his favor. So in boating the boy who
cannot swim may get along verylcom-
fortably for a while, and not suffer
from this defect in his education, but
the time will assuredly come. when he
will have cause to bitterly regret it.
It is one of the simplest, things in the
world, too, and can be learned in three
or four intelligently directed lessons,
such as can be had in any city" swim
ming school or from the experts in
any country village. By all means
talk swim to your. boy before you talk
boat, and stipulate as n of the con-
ditions of his having a. boat that he
shall first be able to swim a quarter of
mile without resting.---Hqrpe'r

THE BEAUTIFUL AND POETI-
CAL FORMALITY OF THE
WEDDING RING.

The ring is a customary part of the
marriage service; few churches reject
this symbol, which is so significant Of
an unending compact.
In the older countries, and espe-
cially among the Germans, a plain gold
ring with date and inscription is given
to the woman as a sign of betrothal,
and the same ring is againoused at the
marriage ceremony, after which a
jeweled ring is added to guard that
more precious one which was used as
a seal, and is to be worn always as 9
sign Of confirmation to earlier but
equally solemn promises,
In this country the engagement
ring is, as a rule, a ieweled n the
diamond taking lead in preference,
though other gems are admissible, and
are atathe present time Employed to a
considerable extent The fashion is
to hayezthe ring set whhGa singlesgsn,
as, d diamond, a sapphire, a pearl or
any other stone that may be preferred.

BENEFIT OF, EARLY RISING:

No reasonable being. remarks, a
medical contemporary, can deny that
a habit of early rising, conscientiously
formed and steadily persisted in, is
distinctly conducive to health, happi-
ness, usefulness and longevity. .Dodd-
ridge says the difference between '1is-
ing at five and seven o'clock in the
morning, for the space of forty years,
suppesing a man to, go ;tozbed at the
same hour at night, is nearly equiva-
lent to the addition of ten years. to a
mans life. Franklin tells us that the
morning hour "has gold in it's mouth"
and he also tritely remarks that he
who rises late may trotr all day, and
not have overtaken his business at
night. Dean Swift avers that he never
knew any man come to greatness and
eminence who lay in bed of a morning;
while good old Jeremy Taylor advises
us to let our sleep be necessary and
healthful, not idle and expensive of
time beyond the needs and conpenien-
ces of nature, and he further bids is
to sometimes be "cufious to see the.
preparation which the sun makes when
he is coming forth from his chambers
of the East" In =" Paradise Lost ]"
Milton speaks of Adams sleep, before
the fall, as "airy light from pure
digestion Bred" and that he was
awakened from it by the "shrill matin
song of birds on every bough.'lo %

CONCERNING Y L


Whatever May he Their Cause There II
No Merit in Them.
1t is difficult to define exactly what
We mean by Il tanH. There is a pOpu-
lar impression, which is nearly cor
rect. that it is something irregular, but
that it lacks in magnitude or intent
something of that which goes to con-
stitute a positive sin. In many in
stances faults are simply irregularities
in execution. or mere inattentions.
n%egatiOns. and almost always have the
quality Of being incidental: not inten-
tiOnal. not purpOsed. nor the result Of
passion.
There are a great many who suppose
that there is a merit in faults. We
think they do not discriminate very
wisely. 1t is true that perfect people
are the most d~isagrecable and intOler-
able people in the world-thOse So
called perfect men that, in order not
to speak wrong, never speak at all.
and. in order not to do wrong. do moth
ing; those cold. precise. inelastic. hard,
smooth. polished people. that are re.
garded a. perfect-by themselves. It
is true that when you are in contact
with such people you hunger and thirst
for some rOughness. and wish they
would break out somehow and seem
to be human.
There is an impression derived from
excess in hat direction that faults are
signs of a fertile nature; like the bark
on wholesome trees: like gnarls and
knots on the oak; and people say that
they would not want q man to have
fewer faults. because they give a kind
of robustness to character.
Now. there may be certain kinds of
faults Of which this is true-faults of
tanner. faults of i~rregularity but
this ought not to blind us to the moral
character and to the effects Of faults
that involve principle. that touch the
question of benevOlence and selfish
ness, that run their roots even deeper.
and touch the very seat Of honor and
character.-N. \. Ledger.

Dr.. Cyrus Edison Tells What to Wear and
Drink In Summer.
1t is best to wear dark clothing in
the summer. The black absOrbs heat
when it is in the suns rays. On the
other hand, the heat will pass out
through the black textures rapidly. so
that the radiation of the heat from the
body would be much freer in a person
clothed in black than white. This
statement is fOrcibly illustrated by the
white coats of animals who live in the
arctic regions. They are clothed that
way for the reason that the color holds
the bodily heat. and does not allow it
to radiate rs rapidly rs black. Thin
flannel shirts are good for summer
wear, and it is best to wear them next
to the skin.
Lemonade is a good drink for hot
weather. but taken in excess it has a
scOrbutic effect. The best and the most
wholesome summer drink is cold water.
1t should he freely used, and should be
cooled by keeping it on the ice. and not
by putting the ice in it. A few bottles
placed in the refrigerator every morn
ing would be sufficient to supply the
family during the day. An excellent
practice for those in cities. where soda
water fountains n numerous, is to
occasionally make use of that beverage.
Soda taken when thirst calls for it is
healthful and refreshing. The favored
sirups sold at these fountains should
never be taken in hot weather. as they
r very heating.-Dr. Cyrus Edison, IN

Of 1900 volumes at st. Petersburg.
and Possesses another equally large at

contains nearly 1900 books, most Of
which were collected by her father,
BibikO5. In SlavOnic literature it is
especially rich, and it contains about
SOD works in various languages on nu-
