Carolinian, who in a great cricis, when
the liberties of free people were most
seriously imperilled stood forth as the
upholder of law and "fearlessly came
up to the full measure of a patriot"
He warmly urges the establishing of
a Chair OF History at the University,
and the Messenge, zealously indorses
the suggestion. 1t should be done.
The youth of North Carolina should
be we'll grounded in the history of
their own favored Commonwealth. 1t
is disgraceful to know of Greece and
Rome and the great monarchies of an
tiquity-to know of European and
English history, and to be familiar
with the chief events in New England
history and not to know we'll the more
interesting and stirring events that
mark the history of North Carolina.
If we had man of the historic genius
and ability, of the research and grasp
of Francis Parkman, of Massachusetts,,
to tell our romantic, animated story in
a style at once alluring and pictur-
esque, our people would love the his
tory of their fathers and generations
to come would know it as they did
their horn books. Let US have the
History Chair at our noble University.
Col. Burgwyn further says:
"History is past politics, and poll
tics is present history. History is
primarily the experience of man in
organized societies; political science
is the application Of this historical ex-
perience to the existing problems of
an ever-progressiye society. History
and politics are as inseparable as past
and present.
"Almost every institution for the
higher education now has courses in
American history"

To most women marriage is a hav

To most women marriage is haven
of rest where they will be free from
worry and care. But there are two
cares in matrimony where there is one
in single life. If the wife accepts these
gracefully and cheerfully she is a
stimulus to her husband; if she com
plains and worries the husband will
become discouraged. A husband is
generally what his wife makes him,
and there is nothing that SO units a
man for his business life as a discon-
tented wife at home.
Wives should bear this in mind. 1t
costs but little to be cheerful, and the
gains to be received are far in excess
OF the actual outlay.-N G. Pyes1y-

Abont the biggest exhibition OF
brazen effrontery we haye ever known
or heard of is made by ''Jones, He
Pays the Freight" in a proposition
made to the newspapers throughout
the country. He generously proposes
to send them a five-dollar pair of scales
for the insertion Of an advertisement
worth from $50 to 40 in any respecta-
BILE paper of fair circulation. AS the
freight on the scales would be about
also, the publisher would get %. so in
trade for the above service. The
question arises are not the publishers
themselves responsible for such pre-
posterous proposition as this being
sent to them? We notice the adver-
tisement in several of on. State papers.
In the name of reason, how can they
accept such a proposition and main
tain their self-respect? 1t is o dis
grace to the profession of the State
that any newspaper in North Carolina
publishes this advertisement.

enough to elect him to succeed Zeb
Vance. No, Col. Polk, the people Of
North Carolina have been deceived in
you to certain extent, but they ale

TRAIN MEN AROUSED.
Jersey Central Hands Exercised Over a
New Order Concerning Their Homes.

Jersey Central Hands Exercised Over
New Order Concerning Their Homes.
There is considerable murmuring
among the conductors. brakemen and
baggagemen of the New Jersey Cent raj
Railroad over a recent order issued by
the management of the road. The order
in effect sets forth that the conductors
and other mem bers of train crews must
live near the station at which they lay up
for the night. The managers of the road
give as a reason for issuing the order
that when the train crews reside away
from the place from which they start out
in the morning and are dependent upon
trains or boats 10 reach that point they
are liable TO meet with accidents which
will delay them in reaching their desti-
nation, which necessitafes the delay of
their train or the sending it out short
hand, either of which IS a dangerous
thing TO do.
The men on the contrary say that II the
company would give them steady runs
the order would not bother them. But a
man may lay up here tonight, aud tomor-
row night he might be at Eaton or Point
Pleasant. AS an illustration OF what they
mean, the men instance a run which be
gins at Dunellen, a station about thirty
miles from here goes TO Eaton and then
comes back to New York in the evening.
An order similar TO this was issued some
time ago, but the men paid little atten-
tion to il and they predict that the pres
| ent order will meet with the same fate.
Should this law be enforced, the in
! crease in Bayonne population will be
| over fifteen hundred.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.
A Lite Of John Boyie o'Esiilv

A Life Of John Boyle o'Reiiiv
Messrs. Cassell & Co, of New York,
announce for publication, by January
1. 1891, at latest. the Life of John
Boyle O'Reilly.n 1t is written by
James Jeffrey Roche. an intimate
friend of the lamented dead during
all his life in Boston. and for many
wears his associate in the editorship OF
the Pilot This work has the iuii
sanction of Mr.. O'Reilly's family, ana
is the only authorized life.
1t opens with a noble introduction
by Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop OF
Baltimore, who was always a warm
admirer of John Boyle O'Reilly. The
Cardinals words at the announcement
of Mr.. O'Reilly's death will be renein-
bered:--ssA loss to the Country, loss
to the Church, loss to Humanity. :.
In this preface His Eninence has paid
a most appreciative tribute to the life
and the works of the dead poet.
In writing the biography, Mr.. Roche
has had rare advantages, in his own
long and intimate association with the
subject of it, and in matter furnished
by the family, and friends both in Ire
land and America. Indeed, he finds
himself able to make it largely auto
biographical. The dead will speak
for himself through his letters, and
his great words on historic occasions,
all through the crowded years of his
short life. The book will be a revela-
ton even to those who knew the de
parted we'll, of the place he filled, and
the international influence he exer-
cised.
Following the life come his complete
poems ana speeches, edited by his
wife, Mary O'Reilly. Some poems
unpublished at the time of his death
are included in this collection, at the
suggestion of friends unwilling to
lose any word left by the beloved
dead.
His orations and addresses, includ-
ing aIlustrious Irishmen of One Cen
tury," Irish Poetry and Music the
Common Citizen Soldier" the great
speech for the negroes in Faneuil
Hall, etc, will close the volume.
The book will be beautifully illus
trated. and printed and bound in the
best style of the bookmaker's art.
