THE QUESTION ANSWERED.

What is the ultimate object? No
less than to develop all the faculties
of the human soul TO the utmost ex-
tent OF which they are susceptible in
this temporal life and condition. This
is a sublime object but no more sub
lime than practical, if the human
will interpose no obstacles to the com
pletion of the enterprise. / readily
grant that it is neither possible nor
desirable to raise the intellectual
standard of every man or woman to
the same elevation with that of some
one individual who may be a model
of eminent genius and high attain
ments, but we should never forget
that the greatest and brightest of the
race are but examples of what the hu-
man faculties are capable of attaining.
And whoscan truly say that he knows
the human spirit can never soar high
or than even the greatest and bright
est have done?
ABILITY NOT LIMITED.
Who can say that he knows philos-
ophy will never be adorned by bright
er one than Bacon or astronomy ad-
vanced by nobler one than Newton? ?
Has he ever heard of divine decree
that he who was made in the likeness
of God is limited by the earthly bar
riers which confne the body?
Has anyone taken measure of the
elasticity and velocity of the soul?
Does he know where it must cease to
inquire and when it must cease to
SCARF If we know not these limits.
then neither do we know that the high
est attainments of human knowledge
and the sublimest pursuit of science
may not become the common posses
sion of the common people. We know
that one star differeth from another
in magnitude but we also know that
every star shineth with a continual
| eHlux of light, flowing perpetually
| through the visible creation. The i
/ dea of education then, in its absolute
ultimate, and universal sense is that OF
perpetually growing and never ex-
hausted growth of the human soul.
| In the language Ihave quoted, it is
| ito develope in each individual al
l perfections of which he is susceptible
| This, too, corresponds with the origin
al meaning of the word, as derived
| from ''educre, to lead or draw forth
the mind, passions or affections. IT
this sense not merely the school, but
! all that meets the soul of man in it,
passage through time becomes it's ed
| ucatOr.
Every sense draws in knowledge
and every faculty goes forth to NEE
the element of nature. History re
peats the lesson of experience. TIL
world fascinates with delusions o
pleasure the church calls to the per
Torrance of duty, and the state invite
to share in the glories of ambition.
Whatever there is in life to dra'
forth its emotions, to dazzle its ima1
nation, to excite its inquiry, to Undue
reflections to impel it forward, or to d
lay it's career, all these things ents

An American Education Outrage
Perpetrated.-Revivals in Progress.
The time has now arrived when the
Negroes as educators, must have an
idea of an American education. The
idea of an American education is to de
delOp in each individual all the per-
fection of which he susceptible. Ii
cannot fairly be denied that the great
er number of those who have written
and spoken upon education have taken
too limited and narrow views of that
most important subject They have
often spoken we'll and forcibly in re-
CARDS to the ultimate object and the
whole measure of means by which it
can be attained

into that aggregate of results, which
is called education all have been min
lstering spirits, whether good or evil
TO this wondering soul, striving con-
tinually TO gather up some of it's orig
inal inheritance.
AN OUTRAGE COMMITTED.
Look you at the outrage COM
mitted upon notable gentleman of
Norfolk, Mr. Frank Stith, who was ar
rested for not having permit TO en-
tertain few friends at his residence.
Then we must obtain for ourselves the
highest American Education in order
that when such outrages are commit
eo uponsa citizen, they may go to the
highest authority and seek redress
for our wrong and also be able to de-
mand of town or city to place its
laws in the hands of men who knows
the law 1 have visited petty courts
here and find that the police know
more about the law than the mapis-
trate. These things will never do. Let
us seek for higher aims and we will
avoid going to these petty courts if we
have intellect but If we-are not so
then We shall get punished by the Ne
gro hating ignorant police justice who
knows nothing OF the constitution or
suy right of the Negroes in this repub
lie. Then there is but one salvation
for us and that is to be able to educate
ourselves intellectually and physically
to grasp the situation of today.
THE HIGHEST EDUCATION NEEDED,
Gould Fred. Douglass, Geo. Downing
and Pervis have gone to the President
as committee from the freedmen had
they no education to ask for protec-
tion TO the Negro2 say no, then be-
fore we petition for anything we must
Lave the highest American education
1T order that we may state the law of
this noble republic to Congress to look
in the matter of state rights. and
make them show cause why they can
not protect its citizens from mob vio-
lence. Does not the constitution of
this Government rule this country at
large. When this United States Gov
eanment finds that its citizens are
being unjustly dealt with can't thev
protect them? Does this look like
the home of the brave andsthe land of
the free? When we see things that
call forth from our Briton Cousin cries
of shame. Can such deeds as lynchinp
burning at the stake be the work civ
ilized country. Let this be the polit-
ical issue of every black man the coun
try over, and the knowledge of this
American education will bring about
the right thing in its own time. Nav
God hasten on the time when the Ne
5ro shall set in the Senate and Con-
gress and appeal with all the eloouence

Is there place for OCC0ne9Chee Farm Some
doubt the good judgment OF the proprietor in at
tempting to establish such an investment in North
Carolina, losing sight of the fact that thousands of
dollars annually are sent Out of The State for I'm
proved Stock. In numbers of instances much loss
befaIs the purchaser before the stock becomes &C.
cIimaed. Only last fall the large price Bull at the
Raleigh State Fair was purchased and sent to &C.
ConeeChee Farm where he died in len days. This
risk the OCconeeChee Farm assumes. because our
stock is all thoroughly aCCIimated to the Southern
climate before being offered for sale.
Another point s--the great amount TO be saved
in freight in purchasing stock near home. Often
the freight charges on stock purchased from the
North or the West amounts to almost as much
as the cost of the stock, to say nothing of the
risk and the torture coming to stock from long
shipments. Purchasing of OCConeeehee Farm
saves all this

the further fact that no breeder North, South,
