as I recall her spinning-wheel. I can
see her walking to and fro before the

occupation displays the God-given
graces of woman so admirably as when
she walks over sanded floor, with her

corset, and her teeth cleaning through
noble smiies-her spinning-wheel all

CHARLOTTE, n. c., June 1.-THE
board of missions at Pittsburg, Pa,
which furnishes means for carrying on
Biddle university, colored, in this city
has asked the resignation of President
Johnson and two of the professors in
order to put negroes in their places,
Sanpers, of Wilmington, as President,

elected.

DIR. AIcHRIDE'S FAREWELL.
His Tribute to Haskell Applauded-Pro-
fessor Davis Warmly Praised-The Sad
Good-Bye-Token of Affection.
GGreenville Daily News.

COLUMBIA, June 1.-the ccm-
mencement exercises of the State Uni
versity to-day were marked by several
interesting incidents. In the delivery
of the diplomas to the thirty-one grad
yates President McBryde, whose con-
nection with the institution ceases to-
day, made farewell address. In re-
ferring to the notable graduates of the
college he spoke of "That flower of
Chivalry, Alexander G. Haskell" The
significance of these words, however,
unintentional it may have been, was
quickly read by the audience, espec-
ially from the fact that Governor Till
man was seated on the stand, and great
applause followed.
Doctor McBryde paid high tribute
to Professor r. Means Davis, referring
to him as san educator in his chosen
field the peer of any in the South" "
The speakers reference to his parting
with old friends and severance of his
connection with an institution that he
had hoped never to leave brought
tears to many eyes.
DR.. McBryde was presented with
two silver services, one by the students
and one by the Alumni association.

Always one Day Behind.
From the st. Louis Republic ]

FROM the 81. Louis RepuOHc.I
Manila is one of the most important
ports in the Philippine Islands, but
strange to say is one day behind all
other places of its size in the world.
This curious fact is accounted for in
this way:
Although the Philippine Islands lie
near the Asiatic coast they were dis
covered by Spaniards who sailed from
America. When they crossed the
magic line where Sunday suddenly
changes into Monday, these fiery dons
of proud Castillian ancestors did not re-
wise their calendar. When told Of this
years later later; when informed that
their mode of reckoning time was not
up to modern notions, they only said
that that was so much the worse for
modern notions. Anyhow, the fact
remains that these Philippine Islands
keep plodding along one day behind all
the rest of the world, which reckons
time by new style.

JACKSONVILLE, Ill, June 12.-Many
citizens are indignant tonight cve.a
marriage which took place early in the
evening at the residence of the Rev.
Mr.. Dewitt, pastor of Mount Emory
Baptist Church. John H. Wright, a
Chicago negro, was married to Miss
Valletta Gott, whose home, according
to her own story, is in Burlington,
Iowa. Miss Gott is a bright, good
looking young lady, fair and with pref
ty blonde tresses, while Wright is as
black as the ace of spades and totally
illiterate. No one can guess the cause
of the woman's infatuation for the col
ored man.

Harsh, But -

"Ho," said wen-known statesman,
II shall never believe that woman has
the proper judgment and sense to cast q
ballot, or interfere iii politics, while She
is so weak-minded as to passively suffer,
year after year, from disease peculiar
to females, when every newspaper she
picks up, tells Of the merits of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Not to
take advantage of this remedy is GER
tainly an indication of mental weak
ness!'
There is a wholesale kernel of truth
inside the rough shell Of this ungallant
speech. The "Favorite Prescription" is
Invaluable in all uterine troubles, in
Examinations, alterations, displace-
ments, nervous disorders, prostration,
exhaustions, or hysteria. For run
down, worn-out women, no more
strengthening tonic or nervine is
known.

REMARKS.

We are not aware of any law provid-
ing for the appointment of an inspector
of beef offered for sale in the butcher
shops, though we have known of in
stances in years back where tainted beef
vas delivered to customers. At present,
all or nearly all the beef sold in the city
is slaughtered by one firm, the Metro
politan Meat CO., and the nigh standing
OF the members of this firm is suffici-
ent guaranty of the good quality of the
beef offered in Honolulu. Hogs, we un-
derstand, are slaughtered by various
parties, mostly Chinese. In the event
of any foul beef, mutton or pork being
offered for sale, the proper way is to re-
port it to the BOARD of Health, whose
province it is to take cognizance of the
matter.
There is an inspector of animals, ap-
pointed by the Government, whose duty
it is to inspect all imported horses, cattle
and swine, and in case diseased animals
are found, afoat or ashore, he is autho-
rized to take possession of them. The
inspector is DR.. w. Monsarrat, whose
Office is in Fort street.-EDTToR.
