An Honest, Manly Protest.

Our highly esteemed and venerable
friend Rev. j. ID. Hufham, d. d., one
of the ablest ministers in North
Carolina, and with few equals among
the many Baptist ministers in North
Carolina, has written an eloquent.
vigorous communication to the Raj
eigh Biblical Recorder, Baptist, on
The Recorder and the State Prison. -
He protests in admirable English,
forceful thought and fervid eloquence
against the attitude taken by the
young man who edits that organ of
the distinguished Doctors denomina-
ton. 1t is written in more elevated
strain than any thing we have read
in some time from North Carolinian.
We have long regarded him as one of
the best of our writers, and he is as
pure and true as he is able and ear
nest In long intimacy extending
through thirtv-tive years we have
never known him to be inconsistent
but once. But that by the way. His
manly protest does great credit to his
clear head and warm heart. Long
may he live to uphold the right. the
humane. the merciful -Wilmington
Messenger.

THE WONDERFUL TWO.HEADED
WOr1AN

The dual unity-Mille Christine
is attracting the curious public at
present. This wonderful being, or
beings, is a negro. She was born on
MIR. Alexander McCoy's plantation,
near Whiteville, Columbus county,
n. c., on July II. 1851. Her parents
belonged to Mr.. Mccoy. Mr.. Mccoy
sold Mile Christine to a man by the
name of Brown for 100000, Mr..
Joseph p. Smith, of Wadesboro, going
his security. Mile Christine was
stolen, and MIR. Smith had to pay
Browns note. He became the owner
of Christine; also of her father and
mother. Mile Christine was found
in London and brought back to North
Carolina. She was again abducted
and again found. Mile Christine
physically has one existence; mental
ly two. There is only one spine,
but two perfectly developed heads
and busts. The two heads resemble
very much. They-or she-talk in
diligently. One sings soprano; the
other alto. Mile Christine is indeed
the eighth wonder of the age.

SUPERINTENDENT MEBANE'S
WORK COMMENDED.
Praise From a High Source for a
Capable and Conscientious Official.

The present Superintendent Of Pub
lie instruction has been laboring in
season and out of season to impress
the public mind with the idea that
the work of public education is too
great in Importance and the results
too far reaching for partisan politics
to be allowed consideration in this
work.
This ides is taking hold upon the
public mind, and especially is meet
ing the approval of teachers This
will be seen from the following taken
from the Liberty Register, published
in the interest of Liberty Normal Col
lege, Randolph county:
'.Hon. Charles III. Mebane, Superin-
tendent of Public instruction, is the
second man, who has not shown par
tisan politics while executing the
duties of his Office.
The State needs Il man as Super
intendent Of Public Schools who is
broadminded enough, who is pro-
found enough, who is liberal enough
in his feelings SO stand above par
tisan politics, fear or prejudice and
work for the common good Of all; the
rich. the poor, the high and low and
all people and all races; a man who
has a heart to feel and Il mind to
comprehend the need of education in
North Carolina, and who will Law
aside party interests and party
politics and party feelings and pull
off his coat and put his shoulder to
the educational wheel. In all the
above and more too Hon. G.. III.
Mebane has won for himself an cnvi-
able reputation
''And the RegiSter recommends
that the people put Hon. G.. H.
Mebane back in office for Superin-
tendent of Public instruction for the
sake of education, for the sake of the
children of North Carolina, and for
the good of the State. Prove all
things and hold fast to that which is
good. is very ( ID rule.

which MIR. Mebane is 4 member The
man and not the party is what we
need in this office. ''-ProgreSSire Far

WE disagree entirely with some Of
our exchanges who think that there
should be a change in our divorce
laws When divorces can be gotten
in secret then there will be flood of
cases. Let there be open full investi-
CATION. let the public know who is at
fault. let the world know for what
slight cause the parties seek to break
the marriage bond. The causes for
divorce should be few not many.
The last Legislature amended the
law. We doubt the wisdom of it.
North Carolina home life has been
kept pure and peaceful by its whole
some divorce laws. Let it remain
so. The next Legislature is not
likely to make any change in the
law. Certainly it will not provide a
secret method of trying the cases.

THE PRESS.
Its Power and Influence for Good in
the Community.

Every public enterprise appeals to
the press for support. and if de-
verving, seldom fails to secure it.
The newspaper Of to-day is public
institution, and therefore sympa-
thizes with all others. 1t is not
subject to the narrow and rigid rules
which apply to merely private call
ings, but to the broad and enlighten-
ed principles springing out of it's re-
lation to the public and its duty to
the people in the collection aud pub
LEGATION of information relating to
their interests.
The business of journalism is no
longer mere incident to the printer 5
trade. 1t has become a great and
leading profession, with honored
fraternal organizations similar to the
medical societies and bar associa-
tions.
The newspaper is the great educa-
tor Of the great masses of the people.
1t induces them to read and compels
them to think. The man who reads
the newspaper is a citizen OF the
world. He feels an interest in the
people OF all lands, for their doings
are brought home to his door. He
reioices with them in their fortunes,
and sympathizes with them in their
misfortunes.
A good, clean, moral newspaper is
| next to the Bible in ennoblinc man
| kind.
1t is also the great agent of pro-
gress and reform. Abuses do not
reform themselves. 1t brings them to
the attention of public opinion as
often as it proclaims the imperious
decree.
Our nation is blessed with free
press, and as long as it remains free
from official censorship, the liberties
Of the people are safe.-Durhan
Recorder.
