North Carolina Penitentiarv

1t is learned from Chairman Claude
Dockery, of the Penitentiary Board,
that the penitentiary will not be
leased. Governor Russell is extremely
anxious to lease, but objections to it
are powerful. The Republicans claim
1T would ruin their party, so bitter is
negro opposition to the scheme. There
mas also been an earnest desire on the
governors part to remove John R..
Smith as superintendent. 1t is
learned from DOckery that Smith
will, upon certain conditions, not be
removed. and that he will accept
these conditions, which are that the
board shall absolutely control.

steer clear of all entangling alliances.
Senator Butler and the other office
holders in his party would probably
like to keep them from exposing
some of the work of the last Legisla-

THE white postmaster at Tarboro
this State, has been removed and a
negro woman appointed in his place.
Such is MeXinleyism in the South.
He takes care not to work that kind
of racket in the North, where they
shed crocodile tears over the sspoor
colored man." The white men of the
South who were nauseated by the
idea of free silver and voted for
Mckinley ought to be sick of their

they will never again be parties to
foisting upon their section the
enormities and outrages of a Repub-

The gratifying and encouraging
statement is made by President
Alderman that the attendance upon
the present session of the University
creates new high water mark for
the Institution. The highest number
ever enrolled previous to this year
was 461, at the close of the 1857 So
session. The number now enrolled
is 1852, exclusive of Summer School
and counting out all duplicates. or
this number 215 are new students.
Five women are attending the higher
classes and ,one is a member of the
Senior Glass. 104 of the Freshman
Class are sons of farmers. Ninety
four per cent of the students are from
North Carolina. At least 100 men,
we are told, are working their way
through College by devices of their
own and in every form of honorable
labor. It is expected the actual at
tendance will reach 500 before the
close of the scholastic year.

Coz. BOYD is among the lucky ones.
Not only has he fat job, but he has
prospects of something better.
Among the probabilities are that
Justice Field of the Supreme Court
will retire, that Attorney General
McKenna will succeed him and that
First Assistant Attorney General
Boyd will succeed McKenna. Then
the Col. has some hope in another
direction-that Judge Dick will retire,
to be succeeded by Senator Pritchard
and the SENATOR, in turn, to be sue
ceeded by Col. Boyd. So it may be
inferred that the Colonels aspira
tions are in a buoyant condition.

IN discussing the question of what
to do with our ex-Presidents, we
think the Charlotte Observer puts it
about right when it says: "The re
public owes no debt to any citizen
who has occupied the White House.
If man has served faithfully his
first term, it might be just to elect
him for the second, but there is no
obligation to do SO. The servant is
not greater than his lord. The Presi.
dent is merely servant. The republic
is lord. The debt, if any, is rather
on the other side, and the once
honored public servant owes it to his
country to live worthily of the
honors she has bestowed upon him,
and, if possible, to render her any
further service in his power, even in a
less exalted position, should such
opportunity for public service occur. y

THE breaking of one wheel in a

quently stops the whole machine.
So it seems that the refusal of Judge
Dick to retire puts a quietus upon
the office swapping machine, talked
of a few days ago, whereby Pritchard
would succeed Dick and Boyd sue
coed Pritchard, and SO on. The
Judge says, in substance, that he
and his office will be boon compan-
ions until death or infirmity doth
them part, thus giving emphasis to
the old saying, STEW die and none
resign" Once in while, though, a
fellow gets kicked out and it appears
that some shifting calculations

ability of q vacant chair in the

THE Willy SEAL.
How He Manages to Catch Sea GulIi
Unawares.

Unawares.
The seal is probably the clumsiest an
inal in the world, says the New York
Recorder. He likes to bask in the sun
al Gay and when he moves he is exceed
;ngly sluggish and awkward. It has
often been wondered how this animal
manages to secure it's favorite food,
wild sea fowl.
Sea gulls are so wild that it is diff
cult even for man to get within gunshot
of one. The seal seems to realize thai
it would be a waste of time to attempt
TO crawl up on the gulls as they rest
upon the water and catch them una
wares. So he watches until the gulls
are soaring slowly through the air and
close to the waves. Then the seal dives
into the sea and swims underneath the
water for some distance. By the time
lie has managed to swim about 100 feet
the gull has forgotten the presence of
it's enemy. This gives the seal his OPP
portunity. lie cautiously rises to the
surface of the water at some distance
from the point at which he dived, and
allows merely the tip of his great nose
10 appear above the water.
Remaining in this position, he gives
his enormous body a rotary motion, 50
that his nose describes circle on the
surface of the ocean. He does this so
slsillfully that to the gull his nose looks
like a fish at play. This catches the
gull's eye, and it at once darts down
with the speed of an arrow, aiming
straight for the little dot. The seal
sees it coming and sinks a few inches,
and as the gull strikes the water with
tremendous force the seals jaws close
upward and the gull disappears.
