AT THE A. g. M. COLLEGE.

The Board Of Trustees Of the A. SIN.
College met in this city last week and
transacted much important business.
Interest conferred on the selection of a
Professor of Agriculture and for this
position, Professor Benjamin Irby, of
this city, was chosen. Prot. Irby sue
ceeds Prof. Frank E Emery, against
whom there were no charges whatever,
and who has faithfully and ably dis.
charged the duties of his position.
Prof. Irby is we'll known to our read.
ers. For five years, and until two
years ago, he held the position to
which he was again elected last week,
and filed it with credit to himself and
to the College. We are Jul our read
ers will find him ready to aid and en-
courage every movement looking to
the improvement of agricultural con-
ditious in this State. His position is a
responsible one, and in the work Of
giving cur State a better class OF farm
ers he will have cur very best wishes.
Prof. Irby is an earnest A~llianceman.
And to Prof. Emery, who retires as
Professor of Agriculture, the College
and the farmers of the State generally
owe much. He has been a t~irelees
worker and has made a record Of
which he may well be proud. His
work in organizing the dairymen and
stockmen Of the State and increasing
the interest in improved live stock has
also been of great value. We hope
that Prof. Emery will remain IN North
Carolina, for such workers as be are
far too few, and we cannot afford to
lose any Of them.
The trustees decided to abolish the
preparatory department of the College,
which was in unfair competition with
other schools. This we consider a wise
move, as was also that resembling the
former action of the Board admitting
women to ell the departments of the
College. They will, however, be al.
lowed to take course in the textile de
partment and will also be admitted as
special students along particular in
dustrial or technical lines, as for in
stance designing, dairying, horticul
ture.
Mr.. George Ivey was elected inspec,
tor in textile art and machinery.
In our opinion, the Board made it's
worst blunder in abolishing the old
system of distributing scholarships
through the county boards and in it's
stead Rllo wing each member Of the
legislature and each member Of the
board Of trustees to nominate a pupil
for a scholarship. Already legislatures
and politicians have mcddled too much
with the eff airs Of the College. and this
new method Of distributing scholar
ships will only increase the power of
the politicians.

THE DaA.H OF NIGER. OIL

For the past two weeks the papers
and the people have talked much Of
Robert @. Ingersoll. He had a great
intellect and many talents, but these
talents were used to blight and not to
bless, to tear down and not to build up,
to discourage and not to gladden.. In
the place Of the only safeguard of NOR
ality and truth, Mr.. ~Ingersoli offered
nothing whatever; to re place man
kinds most precious hope, he offered
only blepk deepair, He was widely
known, but the Influence he excrted
was not 20 great as many supposed.
He was a nan OF keen humor, but
men realize thav the my sterias of death
and destiny are not fl subjects for jest
ing and mockery. And as James Rus
sell Lowell has go we'll said:
When the microscopic search Of
skeptici9m, when has hun1ed the
heavens and sounded the seas to dis
prove the existence of a Creator, has
turned It's attention TO human society,
and has found a place en- this planet
ten NILS tqu2re whe e a deceit
man can live IN decGncy, comfocC,
and security, supporting and educat-
ing his children unspoIcd and unpo-
luted; q place where age is r~everenced,
infancy protected, manhood respected,
womanhood %honored, and human lie
held in due regard; when skeptiCs cen
fad such a place ten miles square on
this globe, where the gospel OF Christ
has not gone and cleared the way, end
laid the foundations and made Qecencv
and security possible, If wall then be
in order for the skeptical liyerati to
move thigher and there vencilate their
views. But SO long as these very men
are dependent upon the religion thew
discard for every privilege they enjoy,
they may we'll hesitate a little before
they seek to rob the Christian of his
hope, and humanity of it's Saviour.
who alono has given to man that hope
OF life eternal which makes lite toler-
able and society possible, and robs
death of its terrors ard the grave of
it's gloom"

THE LEGEND OF OBER-ATlMERGAU.

a trembling VOW, breathcd in a
night of fears;
A vctive Offering wet With bitter
Faiths falter;ng cry through thick
estmIdnight gloom,
Hopes lastfaint signal by the open
ing tomb,
Thus in despair, the stricken peas
ants prayed,
80 father if this cruel plague be
stayed,
We and our children pledge our
selves to thee,
In every decade Of the years to be,
While Ammer's waters through our
valley glide,
Or kofel's summit greets the morn
ing tide, - '<''
With all our powers, however scant
and rude,
In every act and true similitude,
Before the world and in the light of
day, /
The Saviour's Cross and Passion
to portray. Z
The prayer was heard, so runs the
legend old;
Thenceforth no lamb was stricken
IN the fold
No man or matron, youth or maiden
died;
But healing balm breathed from the
mountain side
Brought back new health to wasted
forms, and gave
In every home Il rescue from the
grave.
The trembling lips which breathed
that early vow.
Long stlled in death, are dust and
ashes now:
The years have flown, the centuries
rolled away,
Kingdoms andcrown have crumblcd
to decay,
Old things have passed away, all
things are new.
But to the fathers pledge the sons
are true.
No chance of war nor tidal wave of
change
Has ploushed its burrows past this
mountain range;
While pcrjurcd monarchs from their
seats were hurled,
And trusts betrayed with blood have
drenched the world,
On these poor peasants, all un-
tluuh ht inSI,illel
Fell the rich blessings OF vow full
filled.
Till, on the mountain top, the hand
fui sown
OF precious grain, to such fair
height has grown,
That while from tar the wondering
world looks on
It's golden fruitage shakes like Leb-
anon.
