cause of lament lies so near to our own

JUST LISTEN TO BROTHER
CREECY.
elizabeth City Economist. J

The University of North Carolina and
the Wake Forest College, at their late
cOmmencements conferred no honorary
degrees, which was perhaps a wise in
novation upon the history of the past,
which were calculated to bring the in
situations of learning into disrepute.
Once, these testimonials of attachments
were badge of honor, but they have so
often been awarded to tramp preachers
whose chief attainment was to bang the
sacred desk, and to htterateurs who
slipped from convenient Books Of Quo
tation" and drank, not deeply, from
Pierian Springs, that they have become
badges of ridicule.

RE-ENACTING THE SCENES OF
1868.
Chatham Record.)

Pie and plumber seem to be the only
objects in life for which the reform
leaders are striving. Disappointed and
thwarted in their efforts to capture the
insane asylums, they have lighted Qike
ill-Omen birds of prey upon the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College and
have satiated the greed of some of their
gang by placing them in control of that
institution of learning. The State Ex-
pertinent Station has also fallen a prey
to their insatiate greed.
But who could have expected any bet
ter from such a set of hungry and UNI
principled office seekers? They are merely
re-enacting the scenes of 1868 and 1869
and history is only repeating itself.
