Good Sense in Chuncks.

DIR. Webster Fox, in the journal of
the Franklin Institute, maintains that
the majority of blind people have
lost their sight from want of care dur,
ing infancy, and that nurses or
mothers who heedlessly expose an
infants eyes to the glare of the sun for
hours. may be LAYING the foundation
of the most serious evils. He protests
against permitting young children to
use their eyes in study, and declares
that the eye is not strong enough for
school workuntil the age of seven to
nine. Children should not be allowed
to study much by artificial light be-
fore the age often, and books printed
in small type should be absolutely
prohibited in the school room.-New

THE STATE INSANE ASYLUM.

The Directors are to meet Septer-
Der 18th to elect a Superintendent,
Second Assistant Physician, and proba-
bly, Matron (she will. it is stated,
resign). Already many applicants are
out trying for all positions. Among
those who are supposed to be
applicants for the Superintendency
are: DIR. Isaac Taylor, First Assistant
Physician of the Morganton Asylum:
DIR. Peter E. Hines, of Raleigh; DR..
J. D. Roberts, of Durham; DR.. Haigh,
of Fayetteville; DR.. McDufie, of Fay
etteville; DR.. j. F. Miller, of Colds
boro, and numerous others. There
are said to be several for the position
of Second Assistant Physician but we
can learn only of two: Dr. J. R. B.
Hathaway, Jr., of Edenton, and DR..
Ferrebee, of Camden county. The
Chronicle hopes the Directors will put
their fingers on the Ri hit man. Any
of the above mentioned are excellent
gentlemen and would fiji the place with
honor to this great State.--Chronicle.
DR.. B, w., Instead of ]. r B.
Hathaway, Jr, Bro. Daniels. The
DR.. is worthy his fathers full name
but, his good parents otherwise
named him in baptism and so he
must be called. DR.. Hathaway was
born and reared in EdentOn and, if
ought else be necessary to establish
his WOrthiness, we can say that he
is a Democrat, so born and raised
and Of unquestionable character.
Beside this, he is man of pronoun,
ced skill in his profession, OF suita-
BILE age for yet more rapid strides
towards scientific perfections and OF
trusty habits placing him even be-
yOnd the fear OfapprehenSion. That
he is professionally worthy OF the
position, his brethren, who best know
him and who are best able to testify.
without exception, most willingly
declare that his election to the posi-
ton of Second Assistant Physician,
would give to the Asylum the help
of one Of the best qualified of all our
young men and produce unlimited
satisfaction throughout the entire
Albemarle section.

The Smallest Hair Thr0zcs a. iRad07c."

Score one for the Economist on
the opossum catch in Edenton.
The Advocate failed to measure the
effect Of it's statement otherwise, the
fear Of the Jewish curse, that "Green
grass may grow in the streets Of the
cities and foxes peep from their
holes," would not have been awaken
ed in the Economist. Edenton is a
quiet place, however. especially in
those sections where the private
homes of the people are situated.
When one retires from business,
he is blessed with all the quietude
common to country home and can
refresh himself amid silence which,
to the weary, is a delightful charm.
During the war, when Edenton was
almost deserted for a time, the opos-
sum did find it's way to town and
some Of them, finding quiet, safe and
most comfortable home under ST.
Pauls church, remained there only
showing themselves occasionally and
then, at such times and in such places
as to preclude the possibility of being
caught. Only one Or, two have been
captured and one, not until he had
committed serious waste in the
chicken coop of the present Rector of
the church. The church is a quiet
place where nothing is done even to
create CONSERVATION amid the wild
animals. Its songs are in keeping
with the harmonies which tend to
beatify:rather than alarm and the
gentle reading and preaching Of the
word Of God and prayers of the peo-
pie being in grave consonance with
the solemn subjects to which they all
relate, there is never, at St. Paul's,
an occasion for alarm even to the
unknowing animals that dwell be-
tween the lower walls Of it's structure.
Ours is a quiet town, we are happy to
say, and no place is more charmlsg to
the eye Of man or opossum than the
1Dmbre shades Of st Pauls church
ward.
