The Asheville Citizen says: 1--WE
are heart and hand with the old.fash.
Toned Charlotte Democrat in opposing
the opening of the University or any
other male institution to both sexes, We
are willing to be behind the times, il
to oppose such idea is to be behind the
times. In the South, at ali events, the
aims and ends of the education of the
sexes are different. We hope the day
is distant. when the breed of Mary
Walkers, Belva Lockwoods and other
unsexed bipeds shall be privileged to
ramp over the land to the shame OF
women and the merriment of man."
Yes, brother, but North Carolina
owes duty to her daughters as well
as to her sons and if the girls are moi
admitted to the University, the State
ought to provide an institution fol
them equal in grade of scholarship
and in endowment.

industrial tide which he was aiding
southwark is gathering strength and
magnitude in its course. As a meteor
which spreads blaze of glory in the
heavens for a moment and then goes
out leaves millions of stars to shine in
less splendid brilliancy, so the brief
life and work Of Henry Grady will
leave other and many lives to forward
the good work he SO wrought and
loved.
Bending in sorrow over his form
the South reverently gives her bene-
diction to the life of the most gifted
and most lovable son she has borne,
Peace to his ashes.

THE FINEST NORTH CAROLINA POEM

The Statesville Landmark asks
who wrote the poem entitled "The
Star of Bethlehem" and says it is gen.
orally credited to Major Thos. N.
Crumpler, of Ashe county, who
studied law under Judge Pearson, en-.
tered the Confederate army about the
time he was admitted to the bar and
fell in cavalry charge at Willis
Creek, below Richmond, during the
seven days fight, in 1862.
The credit is right. A year or two
ago The SENTINEL reprinted the
poem at the request of Capt. D. p.
Mast, of Winston. Capt. Mast was a
friend to Major Crumpler and once
had the original manuscript of the
poem in his possession. There is no
doubt that Major Crumpler wrote ii.
It is a poem, as the Landmark OBJ
serves, of every great merit" and we
think is far superior to any poem ever
written by native of North Carolina.
For the benefit of our readers who do
not recollect it we reprint it again:
THE STAR OF BErHLEHEM.
"And God said let there be light, and there
was light
When first Jehovah's high command
Babe earth to her existence leap,
Thick darkness lay DER all the land
And on the bosom of the deep.
God spake; and DER the young earth flashed
The glorious light, unknown before;
And the bright waves of ocean dashed
Their sun dyed jewels on the shore.
Thus when sins heavy mantle lay
Like night, and DER the earth unfurled,
Shut out the light of heavens bright day,
And dimmed and yelled the fallen world
God loved; and 10 a beauteous gem
Rose gittering on the brow of night,
Hopes star-the Star of Bethlehem,
And gave all nations life and light.
Lord, as we drive DER life's dark wave
Let mercy's light be on our path
Save US, Thy erring children save,
From the red lightnngs thy wrath

HENRY GRADY,S DEATH.

The glad holidays were turned to
days of sadness to many all over this
land when the wires brought the
news of the death of the brilliant edi-
: tor of the atlanta Constitution, on De-
cember 23d, and Christmas day was a
day of mourning, not only in Atlanta,
but in every Southern State, because
his remains were then laid to rest.
Only thirtyeight years had passed
over his head, but he had accom-
plished a life work. He died Just
when in his prime, but he has left q
monument in the hearts of his people.
PNot only as editor of a great paper,
but as the magnetic representative of
half of a nation, he taught strangers
be-Rrth Of Southern men and the
Sources of our Southern country.
Ne find him in New York and in
Bea holding men by his magnifi-
cent sloquence while telling them
that lis people were anything else
than traitors; that they could attend
! to their own business and that they
Would solve the race problem for
tMe9selves if let alone by lunatics of
theyShepard stripe.
And northern men, who would
have called it an insult from another,
said that Henry Grady was right, and
they now mourn with us over our
gifted do d.
He had a high. noble purpose in
life. 1t was to advance his people ::
to turn poverty to competence to
make fallow fields blossom and bloom.
aud to Christianize and educate the
children of the South. Whatever was
of coed report found favor IN his
eyes and enlisted his efforts. In lis
own words, he bad ''turned his face to
the dawn'-the dawn of that better
day in the South, when the war will
simply be matter of history, and
men will talk business instead of pol
itics.
He was doing more for the South
than any man in it. and his loss is in
comparably sadder than that of JEFF
ferson Davis. He was of the present
aDd the joyous future, while the great
chieftain was sad memorial of a sad
der past. The one life was in the
very zenith Of its glory, when the
splendor of its achievements crowned
It with an aureole of light and beauty,
Nhile the other was going out in the
70 he and disappointment that fol-
lows the Freck Of high hopes and
rand ambition.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due"
Under the above. caption we pub
liyh communication from our old
friend Johl Nj. Bartlett, who states
by publishing it we would confer a
favor upon him. We have hitherto
shown fairness in this campaign
that we would like to see emulated
by the papers aud friends endorsing
Col. Woodhury's candidacy. Mr..
Bartlett is of course entitled 10 his
views, but we here in Vermont see
things in different light to him.
We do not believe, nor do we be-
lieve that any true soldier does, that
patriotism is a matter of hire. We
do not believe that any true soldier
would be so mercenary as to CLAIM
promotion as reward for patriotism !;
nor do we believe that if as rule
Lieutenant Governors should not be
promoted that any true soldier
would claim that the public good in
this respect should he subseryient
to his private ambition. We think
our correspondence al h0mtnem
argument is less founded in political
philosophy than in personal con
siderations, which he makes to rise
above the public good and above
what he says is a wholesome rule.
We believe in first seeking public
good without reference to the per
sonal ambition of any man; in Sc
Letting men who by training and
experience are most competent IT
because a candidate is soldier that
settles the question, as our cores
pendent seems to assume, al! that is
ne, essary to be said in respect &c
two opposing candidates is, tins one
is military man, and that one is
not, and The campaign is settled al
once.

The entire machinery of the state
should be made to help hose fellows
before it is too late. There should
be one exception to this rule, a man
who was a gallant soldier, did his
whole duty in savin G the govern

ious TO govern, aud lot an arm in

doing less honor to her citizen sol.
diers than all other northern states
are doing. Your noble Mr.. Page
cannot afford to wrest victory
from your gallant Col. Woodbury..
| would not have written this but
for your editorial, in which you say
"That Col. Woodbury. was a brave
soldier goes without saying, while
all admire his courage, and respect
aud honor the devotion to his coun.
try, which carried him TO the front
rank Of battle and cost him his arm.
Is there ANYTHING i'll it which makes
him more competent than others to
serve az Chief executor Of the state ?"
You admit that he was a gallant
soldier and Lost AN arm in the front
rank of battle, aud virtually admit
his competency, and are anxious 10
sacrifice him for one who has but
one Of these attainmentS | care
not what motive prompted a man
to 60 into the army. If he did
honest duty and was hUnorabiy dis.
charged, he deserves more at the
hands of 4 loyal state than your
editorial indicates, and if the loyal
people Of Vermont, and not the
place seekers have the matter to
settle, Col. Woodbury. will be your
next governor. ! saw All official
statement not long since, that the
average age of all the fathers and
mothers Of all the soldiers, who
have died since the close Of the war
was seventeen and i half years
greater than the average life of all
the soldiers who have died during
the same time, showing that the
war took seventeen and half years
from the life of this vast army Of
our coHntry's defenders. A loval
people are but just beginning to do
proper honor TO It's soldiers. Let not

much for his state and nation. If
your large aud most worthy class
of Office seekers seems too large foI

Hyde Park convention, when all the
machinery of the state was employed
to elect a certain man for member
of congress, but the people turned
out, so that no building in town
would hold the delegation from one
county, The project, good or bad
WAS defeated. Since that time a
few politicians and the newspaper,

only left it for few delegates tt
