CHAPEL HILL, n. c.,
July q, 1894.

Mr.. EDITOR: Hon. John c. Scar
borough, our worthy State Superin-
teuden,, delivered a lecture here on
the evening Of the 23d that was a
credit to him ard AN inspiration TO
the teachers who heard it. He said
that only enc child of every ten in
North Carolina ever reached the
private schools and colleges, and
that the only way to reach the nine
is through the S,a:e public schools.
He emphasized the truth that a
States wealth does not consist OF
merely material things, bot in its
citizens, it's men and women aud it
should spare no effort TO train its
children, and make them true,
broad minded, patriotic citizens.
Many of US had never seen on,
Superintendent before, but we were
glad TO grasp the hand of q man
who has our interest at heart
North Carolina is justly proud o,
him. TEACHER.

Flowers Desired for Tenement Houses

Flowers Desired for Tenement Houses.
 Last year an appeal was made through the press to people in the country for contributions of flowers during the sum- mer months to be distributed among the people in the tenement houses of New York. That work was carried on with great success and hundreds of houses received fragrance not genera ted from the Bowery. An especial ef- fort was made for the sick and through various agencies many of them were reached and comforted.
 We desire to do the same work this year. The young people of our clubs have generously responded to an ap- peal for workers to receive, arrange and distribute the flowers. So we again ap- peal to the public, to contribute as abundantly as possible. Flowers should be sent so as to reach the city on Tues day and Friday. Packages not welgh- ing more than 20 pounds will be trans. ported free by the express companies. Care should be taken to see that the limit is not exceeded. As only local agents are instructed to send the flow. CTS free, packages should be marked scollect in New York" We trust the response will be as generous as last year. Address all packages to the University Settlement Society, 26 De- lancy street, New York.

Clippings From Gowanda Herald

A Pittsburg editor says: Husbands are not made to order" We'll bet he can't convince most wives they are rot.
 Col. Breckinridge may be, as he says. truly repentant, but that is no reason why he should be rewarded with a seat in congress. There Is nothing rare about repentance after exposure, and little that is commendable.
 If Breckinridge sneaks back into con- gress by the repentance route 1t will not be calculated to improve tue morals of congress which are now none of the best.
 A gentleman who has been doctor, clergyman and lawyer declares as the result of his experience that men in general will spend more money to fight each other in lawsuits than they will to save either their bodies or their souls. Yea, ver1lyl
 Not an American born citizen took part with the rioters in Cleveland. Ii was the riff raff of the foreign element which has created all the trouble in tEat city during the last few days. These people want no laws, no government and no God.

A Great Steer.

Merritt Sherwood's celebrated steer, Ben, was sold to Sheriff Richmond Tuesday, and was butchered Wednes- day the 16th inst. The animal was a wonder, His age was four years and his weight was 2,2OO pounds, the weight of an average steer of that age being abont 1, POO pounds. Two men of good height, when standing on opposite sides of the animal, could not see each other over the steers back. MT Sherwood thinks the animal, if allowed to live, might have become the largest OK in the world. Weeks X Erwin, who will put this fine beef on sale Saturday, inform us that the animal in beef weighed 1,1S7 pounds, and the hide and tallow, 1S4.-New Milford Gazette.

Ex-Senator McNeiIl,s New Field

Ex-Senator Edwin s.
