CHAPEL HILz. Sept. 23.-The fall
session has opened as we'll or better
than was expected, all the circum-
stances being considered. Eastern
North Carolina fails to send as MANY
as were expected. owing to floods
failure of crops &C., while Western
North Carolina increases her repre-.
sentation very considerably. II
Eastern Carolina had increased in
proportion to the West, there would
be full halls. There are at present
something over $50 here.
The Faculty is full an, all at theil
posts, including Prof. Cain. the
newly-elected Professor of Mathe.
MATES. He is said to be every way
well qualified for his position.
The Law School under DIR. Mann.
ing is very prosperous, there being
now q young sspTants for thelegal
profession. The following young
gentlemen, seven in number. will
represent the Law School at the ap-
preaching term of the Supreme
Claudins Dockery, p. B. Manning.
A. S. MeNieI. Junnius Parker, VIM.
b. Kicks, and H. \. Pharr. We
hope they will all get license.
Rev MIR. Prentiss. the new Rector
ofthe Episcopal church here has en-
tered upon his duties. He stands
deseryedly high, and is said to be a
minister Of more than usual ability.
The results Of the great revival
here are over two hundred CONVEX
SONS. and an addition, to The Metho-
dist church of over one hundred
and more still to join next Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. North, the Pastor is held
in deservedly ligh esteeme, and is
closing a very successful year.
Dr. Maagum, who has been 50
long kept from active duties, is FILL
ing his char. lie seems to be suf-
ficentlE restored to give reasonable
hope OF many years Of scholastic
labor yet.
Cotton is very backward-none
picked out vet, and the Alliance
programme Of selling none in Sep
TENDER will be strictly carried out.
The town Is quiet: business still
rather doll, and will be until cotton
begins TO come in. There i but

DEATH OF JAMES CHAsTAINE.

Polished Gentleman In Society but
 Unequalled as n Burglar.
 From the Montgomery tAla.) Advertiser.l
 Among the many pictures that look forth from the Rogues' gallery in the office of the chief of police there is not one so eure to at- tract the attention and admiration of 8 visi- tor as that which presents the handsome fea. lures of James Chastaine.
 'That was the boldest, coolest, cleanest and withal the most daring and desperate glar in Montgomery" said Chief Gerald, as he ran over the rows of pictures with an Ad- vertiser reporter. "It is a thrilling story based on hard, cold facts, the hundredth part of which has not been told," continued the chief, ''and I don't mind telling you more than ever yet told anybody about it."
 "During the months of February and March, 1881, the city was stirred from the center to the circumference by daily reports of burglaries committed of the most daring nature. Forty houses were entered on as many nights, and from each articles of more or less value taken. Such state of alarm had not existed in this usually peaceful com. munity since the advent of Wilson's evel memorable raid in 1865. The streets were patrolled at night by armed squads of citi zens, and the police force was increased by putting on extra men. Staid old church men, who had never fired a revolver in thei | lives, might have been seen at the gun deal ers' purchasing ammunition and revolver of the most approved make.
 "Mothers pressed their babes to thei l bosoms and with bated breath looked il | the direction of the noise made at nigh l by the rattling of window or creakinl 1 shutter. Timid maidens, before retiring 8 night, lamp in hand, cautiously peered un der each bed to see if burglar was en
 sconced there. Every energy and art, to gether with the utmost vigilance, was use, 1 by the authorities to detect the daring thief but all to no avail. The Mayor issued proclamation offering reward for the cap ture, and still each night the burglaries con | tinued.
 ..Those burglaries were all of the sam 1 nature, the entrance or breaking being gene | rally effected through the front windows l which in this city almost invariably open ol

PARNELL,s TRIUMPH.

PARNELL'S TRIUMPH.
 Pigott's confession and flight have brought the case against Parnen to very sudden and satisfactory end, and they have left the Lon- don Times and Lord Salisbury's government in very uncomfortable plight. The Times will 'thunder'' very ttsmall" for awhile, and its laundering will not be impressive.
 Of course those interested in the preserva- ton of the Salisbury government will now try hard to show that the government had little or nothing to do with the affair. But it will be remembered that the Times was represented by Sir R. Webster, Q.C., attorney general and member of the Conservative government, though not cabinet minister. More than this, although nominally repre- senting the Times, the attorney general was supplied with quite part of the ammunition he required from data in the possession of the government authorities. The home office placed at his command such facts as it was thought would be of service to him. Thus, in the evidence given by the informer, Le Caron, the documents upon which 8 greater part of his testimony was based were admit tedly furnished by the home office, and Le Caron himself, who had been for years a spy for the English government, came forward and gave his statement, not out of any inter- est in the Times contention, but because his employers had so directed him. It was, therefore, joint prosecution, both the Lon don Times and the Conservative government sharing in the undertaking, and both, no doubt, hoping to profit by the successful con- clusion of their undertaking.
 Pigott has shown himself to be about as complete and weak villain as there is. He tried to bleed both sides at the first and the last, and confessed with great freedom and fuency when he thought it would pay him te do so. It looks az if he were allowed to es- cape. But the Times and the government cannot escape with him. They must stay and take their share of punishment for theil participation in one of the wickedest con- spiracies of the time. Meanwhile Parnel and the cause which he represents will con- tinue to flourish.

COMMUNICATIONS.
An Unwise PropOGal.

An UnyVise Prop0Gal. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The following petition is being extensively circulated:
 To the Honorable Board of Education: the necessity of the school district requires that the books be provided free in all public schools for board to take some action as may be necessary to accomplish that end. And should such action be taken we to present our text books to ths dis trict free of charge.
 The petition is receiving many signatures. Walter Leigh of the board of education esti- mates that the amount paid for school books by parents is from $7,000 to $9, 900 year. In Boston the average cost is sixty four cents pupil.
 There are such obvious objections to the above mentioned proposition that we trust it will meet with no encouragement. < 1. In the first place it is utterly quixotic and unnecessary. It is said in oommenda- tion of this proposal that in Boston the average cost is sixty-four cents per pupil. If by this we are to understand that this is to be the expense in New Haven, why make this movementa Education is al- ready entirely free, and even High school education is open to any child who wishes it and who shows himself deserving of it. Why then put this additional burden of $7,000 to $9.600 upon the public and tax payersa Why make that which is perfectly insignificant charge to the parent serious burden ($9, 900 year, to the taxpayers. Let us remember here that our annual appro- priation of $10,000 to the free public library is scarcely more than this.
 9. The school district of New Haven is a1- ready in debt $150,000, besides an annual tax for school purposes of 31s mills.
 3. A bill is now before the legislature to allow the school district to issue bonds for $500, 900, including the above.
 So that, besides the heavy taxation which we have already for schools, we shall soon burden the future of the city with $500, ,000 of debt for new school houses. If this must be so, well, so must it be; but it is a poor time to bring forward an utterly unnecessary and extravagant proposition for an expendi- ture of $9, 900 year in addition. We hope the board of education will show their wis dom by promptly voting down this proposed measure and relieve the fears of

The Head of the House Invests In a
 Family Driving Horse. From the Detroit Free Press.l
 At three o'clock the other afternoon I &C., cidentally caught sight of MT. Bowser skulk- ing about the back yard. He had acted very restless at dinner time and I at once felt that something was wrong. A caller came and could not get out to the barn for half an hour, and then it was too late. A horse stood in the stall and MT. Bowser stood looking at the horse.
 "Have you-you-," gasped. sfHave I what?" "Bought another horse after those two dreadful failures9' Dreadful failuresl I bought one horse and he objected to the neighborhood. The other liked the neighborhood, but you ob- iected to his color"
 ''Mr. Bowser. please don't buy another ! horse. We don't need one you know, and you will surely get swindled." fSwindled! l get swindled on horse! Mrs. Bowser, the man who can swindle me on horse has yet to be born! I know lem 1 from ear to heels. I can read lem like so many books. We need a horse.

 l was much put out, and after time Mir. | Bowser followed me into the house and said aJust wait week, and if he doesn't turn out all right I'll sell him for the three hun, 1 dred dollars and give you the extra one huu- ! dred dollars.n
 Nothing further was said until the nex morning, though in the meantime I heard MT. Bowser telephoning about condition powders, bran mashers, toe weights, quarter l boots, hand holders and throat sweaters. | seemed to me that he ordered about fifty dollars worth of those things. Twice in tht night he got up and raised the back window to listen, and he was out of bed and out tt the barn with the first beams of daylight He came into breakfast with smile all ovel
 his face and announced:
 ssMrs. Bowser, yourself and your child are

Ouida Grows old and Prosaic.
From Current Literature


 Ouida is not the picturesque figure in lite rature she once was. When she roamed about the grounds of her Florentine villa, with her golden hair flying in the wind and an atmosphere of mystery enveloping her, she was a flashing, dazzling comet whose like we have not had since. To-day Ouida does her grizzled gold into decorous knot, her hard, severe profile is more suggestive of philosophical research than of poetry and passion, and her works grow colder and more analytical with each relentless year. The fire of her youth she regards with indiHer- ence or contempt, and not suggestion of it creeps into the mathematical works of her later years.
 The mystery about her life will probably never be cleared; nor is it likely that we shall ever know where she got her extraordi- nary variety of information about almost every condition of life. J. B. Lippincott, the publisher, put the question to her square ly once: "Where did you get all this infor- mationW And she ss squarely answered him: s'It is none of your business" Since the Prince Staffa triied with her boarded affections Ouids's characters have been drawn from life, and poor Florence is in a state of mental earthquake from one book to the next. She confesses to the quality of her temper and threatens "a rattling windup" before the reaper reaches her.
 Hancock's Aid at Gettysburg.
 From the New York star,l q.
 Only yesterday I met very eigifcant character on the street whose manner and bearing recalled many stirring events. It was General Francis 0. Barlow, who has ceased to be soldier and now practices law. Barlow was one of the most remarkable of the volunteer generals of the war. He has changed very little in appearance His hair is winter than it was the day he fell, as cve- ry one supposed, mortally wounded at Get tysburg, or the day. a year later, when he led Hancock's terrible charge at the dead an- gle of Spottsylvania and broke the Confede- rate army in twain. His face is still as clean shaven and youthful as when, in his major generals uniform, he looked more like lad from school than an experienced soldier. Since the rebellion he had been attending particularly to his practice, and has had very little to say about the war. So unobtrusive has he been that it is very doubtful whether many of the rising generation remember that he was Hancock's most trusted division commander in that wall of iron, the old seo- ond corps.
