RIDICUlEO ABROAD.

Governor Russell's silly explanation
as to why he accepts railroad passes
has made him notorious on both sides
of the Atlantic. The London Globe
has an elaborate article In which 1t
says:
"We ask our readers to endeavor to
conceive case in which an Englishman
occupying any position analogous to
that of the Governor Of an American
State, would accept favors which could
only be offered by breach of the law,
and then defend his action by saying
that it is the custom for every man to
take whatever Is offered"
North Carolina is not only disgraced
at home by the present administration.
but it is made the object Of ridicule
abroad. One Of these days the men who
elected Vance, and their sons, will rise
up and drive out those who have pol
Iuted the civic temple.

decorations, and one could not help feel

Saturday evening was more especially
one of merry making and good cheer;
Christmas music, old fashioned games and
something substantial but equally as en-
joyable, certainly as satisfactory, COM
