THE NEW YORK STAR.

One of the best papers published in
New York City-noted for its able and
newsy Press-is The Star. We so
further and say that in many respects
it is the best. 1t is the only paper
among the great metropolitan dalies
enunciating true Democratic doctrine
and supporting pure Democratic prin-
ciples. 1t is clean, clever and elevated
in tone, and newsy without being SEN
sational. 1t occupies high ground and
is broad and comprehensive in its
views on all questions of National in
terest. 1t is fair minded and Just in
its attitude toward all sections of our
common country, and for this reason
deserves the liberal support of people
in the South who want a first-clas New
York daily.
The Sta, has gradually grown in
popular favor until now it is fast out
stripping some of its older and more
pretentious contemporaries. While its
past has been brilliant and successful,
its future bids fair to be even more so.
This is gratifying to the GOLD LEAF.
The paper has been gradually improved
until now it is the equal OF any in ap-
pearance and subject matter-the full
ness of its news service and the excel
lence of the same. The latest improve
ment noted in The Star is new dress
of type from the heading out. 1t
seems to have taken on new life with
its new suit. Commenting on this,
The Star of August 2Sth says edito-
rally, under the heading of "The Re-
uvenated Sta, -
The handsomest paper, Topographic
cally considered, published to-day in
New York, is before the readers of the
neW Star this morning. 1t is presented
to our readers with the compliments
of a very pleasant occasion to US, and
as evidence of its regeneration.
The Star of this morning is nea,
from top to bottom from its title to
its close; being set in handsome new
type throughout and printed on rapid
presses just put in the Star building.
1t is nevsy as we'll as new. There
isn't dull line in its forty columns
of reading matter. The best news of the
universe is told in compact form, and
all local matters of interest are given
more fully than by any other paper
now published.

AS WAS to have been expected, a
North Carolinian did not get the
Presidency of the State Agricultural
College. Col. Alex Q. Holiday, now
President of the Florida Agricultural
College, has been chosen by the Board
of Trustees. The GOLD LEAF does
not say he is not a good man, but it
believes one equally as capable could
have been found in our own State.
The one great fault with our people is
that nothing is SO good as that which
comes from abroad. This has been
the curse of North Carolina, and men
are affected by this sort of spirit as
much as anything else The Whining
ton Messenger says:
There were not many bidders for
the Presidency of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College. The trustees Sc
lected a Virginian for the place. Of
course this means that they did not
consider there was a North Carolinian
qualified for the place. We are sorry
for the State.

GREENVILLE CONNECTED WITH
THEOUTSIDE WORLD BY RAIL-
ROAD


The GOLD LEAFS congratulations
to the people of Greenville, Pitt county,
and the Reflector, which has worked
SO faithfully for the upbuilding of its
town, upon the completion of their
first railroad. The Reflector of Aug
ust 2sth says:
Wednesday of last week was day
not soon to be forgotten in Greenville,
as it marked the beginning Of an era
in the history Of the town that many
of her citizens have long hoped for
but not until this time realized. The
track laying on the Scotland Neck &
Greenville branch of the Wilmington
& Weldon Railroad has been completed
as near to Tar River as could be done
until the bridge is built, station call
ed Riverton had been temporarily es-
tablished beyond the river until the
road could be brought on into town,
and it was known that on the evening
of the day mentioned above the first
regular train would come down pre-
paratory to opening a fixed schedule
for passenger and freight traffic on the
22nd. At seven O'Clock the
train came laundering in amid the
shouts and hurrahs of the assembled
multitude, for all were rejoiced that
Greenville at last had railroad. y \
Greenville is now no longer ranked
among the out-of-the-way places, but
is Joined to the outside world with
bands of steel.

THE NATIONAL EDITORIAL Assoc.
CITATION.

Speaking of the meeting of the Edi-
torial Association in Detroit last week,
the Durham Globe says:
This last gathering, 1.-THE meeting in
Son Antonio, Texas, last year] accom-
plished much in the direction of break
ing down many of the old prejudices
that existed between the Northern and
Southern editors, and the Association
will continue to have this wholesome
effect. The Association has been the
means of bringing editors together
from all parts of the country,not alone
to fraternize and create good fellow
ship, but to discuss practical questions
that every day present themselves to
editors and publishers, and form plans
for united effort to receive such leg
islation as will place the newspaper
business under the same projections of
law that is guaranteed to every other
mercantile or manufacturing under
taking.
The Globe is glad that North Caro-
lima is this year represented in the
councils of this national editorial body.
These annual gatherings of newspaper
men from all quarters of the Union
will be of great benefit to those who
participate and likewise to the cause OF
journalism throughout the country.
Contact with representatives of papers
printed in the great business marts
of the land will produce new ideas
and broaden out the intellects of every
one who attends the annual meetings
of this Association.

The Statesville Landmark says this
of DR.. Grissom s card in the NeWs- o.
serUer, an extract from which was pub
lished in the GOLD LEAF last week:
The card is quite a curiosity in its
way but not quite enough SO to warrant
the Landmark in givinga column and
half of valuable space to it. Bad tenn
per and bad taste are its chief charac-
teristics. His promised pamphlet is
to be a sober appeal to the popular
judgement, based upon citations from
the evidence taken in the investigation,
but he has in advance weakened It's
force by his preliminary screed.

A Marvel Of Simplicity.

The great Equitable Life has an
nounced new policy contract. 1t is
one which we predict will awaken
worldwide interest from the very
start. This policy happens to be in
the very line of what we have been
hoping to see. The Equitable has
happened to harness up one Of our
hobbies and has started it upon a
+, triumphal tour that will be continuous.
We take no credit at all, but feel
mighty proud over it, all the same.
This policy is marvel of simplicity.
| From the New York Insurance Journal
Like all conditions that emanate
from this excellent company, it pro-
poses, as near as actual science will
permit, to meet the viclssitudes of life.

The WEAKNESS of long-continued study is
proverbal. Its explanation is not far to
seek. One portion of our entire being is al
most exclusively occupied, and the monoto-
ny of the process constitutes In large meas
ure the cause of exhaustion. Relief must
accordingly be sought in rest, in the exercise
of other functions, or in veriation of the
form of mental exsrtlon. Such timely and
refreshing change enters into all well-ordered
plans of education. There is, however, in
every study stage at whieh persistent con-
centra.ion is Indispensable to anything like
d:ous, is necessary to full instruction. Per-
haps no better illustration of this fact could
be found than that which is constantly evil
dent In the cultivation of music. One could
hardly conceive of anything more truly mo-
notonous than a continuance of that tax of
patience, piano practice.

AN OLD HUMRUG REVIVED.

These are not the Middle Ages, and yet We
are reading about an Elixir of Life which
will, 1t is asserted, cause the old to become
young and to skip for joy as they did before
their joints were stifened and their spirits
permanently depressed. This wonderful
Elixir is made from certain parts of guinea
pigs, rabbits, lambs, and perhaps other nice
and playful animals. 1t apparently has the
authority Of the great DR.. Brown-Sequard,
and DR.. Hammond In this country 1. repre-
sented as believing in 1t and successfully
using it.
It will take some time to properly test the
new Elixir, but the claims already made fol
it can very safely be branded as humbug OF
the most pronounced description. If DR..
Brown-Sequard has said what he is reported
to have said concerning 1t the fair presump-
tion is that he has lost good deal of his
powerful mind And DR.. Hammonds In
dorsement of it will not have great weight
with those who remember some of his per.
formances. The time has not yet come when
the decline of life can be stopped by any
mixture of guinea pigs, rabbits or anything
else. 1t probably never will come It is to
be hoped that the world In its present state
of civilization is not about to see one Of the
crazes over an "infallible remedy" which
have disgraced mankind in the past u Is
the duty of sensible men, and especially Of
physicians, to take the humbue out of this
Elixir business.
