which has been mine. to live habltualiy
in thought with the best men Oh our
time and the best men Of othef tlIlles.
He has faith in the vital power OF 1T
erature, and believes with Matthew
Arnold, that it's future is immense. At
the close of his short Sketches IN Lit
erature," he says: I'VE have hardly
begun to understand the educatonai
power in literature, because we nave
not understood its significance as an
expression Of the soul or humanity anu
of the whole range of a human expert
ence. The ultimate end OF all TINS klno
of knowledge is to enable men to see
life with clearer eyes and compare II
with lower thought To be q constant
student of these writer's is TO be con-
stantly studying the deepest thought OF
man about himself, is to keep ones self
in constant contact with the very IinesL
material for education
1t may readily be seen that in hia
mind literature and life stand IN vital
relation to each other. Life is the art
of arts"-"the supreme art to which
all the arts rightly understood minis
ter The highest life is the result OF
cumulative power of productivity he
says in his Mature and Culture. the
evidence of true culture is deepened
and enlarged life" Literature is one
OF the most significant ways in which
the effective and harmonious life is de-
veloped Mr.. Mabie has wide knoWl-
edge of all the most important litera-
lures of the world, and is therefore
catholic in his taste and balanced in his
judgment.
With rich inner life developed in
harmony with the best life Of the past
and the present, Mr. Mabie has had
much to say of life of his own time
AS an editor he has been to many peo
pie an interpreter of the most signiti-
cant tendencies of life in our country.
In the words of Dr. Van Dyke: I'VE
should follow Mr.. Mabie as an exponent
and expounder of the same life; the life
that is wholesome. the life that has
some reality, the life that speaks Of high
tasks accomplished. He has told US not
to despair of human nature, not to de-
spair of our country, not to despair of
the world"
The final impression that remains
with one after reading and hearing Mr..
Mabie is that he is "a good fellow"
honest, true, kind, sunny; an author
without grudge, a teacher without a
rod, an idealist without a fad, a good
man to tie to, and a good friend to
have" EDWIN MINIS.

MEN TAKE TT ALL.

Whenever times get hard and retrench-
ment is necessary, the average man
expects the economy to be made by his
wife rather than for him to quit smoking
fine cigars. The master man piirsues this
course also in public affairs. The A. and
NJ. College at Greensboro for the eolored
race is in debt and retrenchment is ne
cessary. How is it to be carried out?
The board Of directors have decided to
make it strictly an agricultural and me-
chAnical college for men, and next ses-
sion only males will be admitted This
leaves no State industrial school for col
ored girls for the next two years, though
the board, after closing the doors to fe
male students, did recommend the State
Board of Education to make provision for
them. The directors ought know that this
board has control of only $4,000 and
that money is saCredly set apart for
normal instruction.
We do not write in criticism of the
board at Greensboro. 1t may be that it
is the wisest thing to devote the A. and
M. College to the sort of mechanical work
and agricultural work for men only. We
venture to add that nobody suggested
that the boys stay out two years until the
state could provide for them!
The gallantry of most men ceases with
surrenderiug their seats in the street car.

A GOOD SHOWING.

The summary of the reports of the con-
dition of the State, private and savings
banks of North Carolina, prepared by the
Corporation Commission, makes fine
showing. There is scarcely bank among
them all that has not regularly paid a
dividend of six, eight or ten per cent, and
yet after paying such dividends and good
salaries to officials the surplus and un-
divided profits aggregate 81 1873, 097.22 The
capital stock of these banks is $2,S12,-
COZ 16. The surplus, it will be seen, is
nearly half as much as the capital stock.
This shows that North Carolina banks
are we'll and prosperous managed.

MARSHALL OvERRULED.

The washington Star is good at ex-

THE present Supreme Court has not
followed Marshall's incidental construc-
ton of certain words, but has decided
in accordance with his spirit and policy
IT has acted as John Marshall would
though in doing so it has disregarded
certain of his spoken words.
This recalls the definition of fanatic:

Among the Exchanges.

Is it too late to plant cotton? The Tar
bore Southerner-an authority-says: If
the seasons are favorable it is not too
late to plant cotton. A few years ago
e c. Knight, during the first week in
June had all his cotton killed by hail.
He finished replanting by the 10th, and
made probably, the best crop of his life.
The same happened to the late William
H. Weathersbee on Judge Philips knight
Place, few miles from here"
Here's teh way to do it. The Monroe
Enquirer says: "A very progressive gen
tleman proposed to Superintendent Brooks
this week, to be one of twenty men to
give twenty-five dollars apiece to raise a
library for the Monroe Graded Schools.
The object is to raise 81 600 by September
1st and start with very good library.
Superintendent Brooks hal already met
with considerable success and he has no
doubt now that he can raise the ne
cessary amount.
North Carolina folks will have sports
from gander pulling to banana eating. The
Stanley Enterprise thus tells of the
latest: Three young men went through
banana eating contest in the Albemarle
Grocery Company's store Monday evening
with the following result: Fred Gaddy ate
20, coming off winner; Duncan Morris ate
, 2S, and Ham Miller %. Except for being
somewhat tight around the breech band
and the slight dscomforts of an overload
the young men seemed to be none the
worse for their folly. The two latter ones
paid for the fruit, as a forfeit for not be-
ing able to take in as much as the vic

They are catching strange 'varmints"

The Dunn Democratic Banner tells of one
big catch thus:
ION Thursday. while the Cape Fear
river was at its highest there came down
the river a circular saw mill complete.
Mr.. z. T. Kivett. who lives at McNeilTs
Ferry saw it, and with his boys went in
pursuit and over took it at what is known
as Big Island in Smyleys Falls. After
several hours hard work they succeeded
IN landing the entire mill and fixtures on
safe grounds. The peculiar part of 1t is
that when captured the saw was running,
slowly of course, caused by the current or

There is much food for thought in
the suggestion that the spirit of ma

world and even touched the church in
the sermon of Rev. R. c. Beamon be-

Female College last Wednesday. There
was point, too, in his suggestion that it
largely rested with woman to eradicate
this lowering tendency.

The Tarboro Southerner says that D.

A SERIOUS, AN AWFUL THING

A SERIOUS, AN AWFUL THING.
Fremont Visitor.
One of the most serious things that
has happened in North Carolina in
many day was the effort Of the South
ern Railroads agents to tamper with
the jury in the case of the Long dam
age suit at Statesville. We say that
this is a serious thing, an awful thing,
for it is an assault made upon the very
temple of justice. All honor to that
great tribune of the people, Cyrus 3.
Watson, and the upright Judge Brown,
for thwarting such base purposes.

~ Il llC lIldlc lbl NHAiS NafHAhc
the old, sick veteran soldier, Skaggs,
in the late court, only showed the
right parties were not caught. 1t
will be remembered he was called
from his sick bed at night, by half
a dozen masked brutes, and horribly
and cowardly beaten into insensi-
bility by them, after gagging and
tieing him. 1t remains rs an iuef-
faceable blur on the good name Of
Huntingburg, and will so remain
till the authorities there detect the
guilty, cowardly scoundrels who en-
gagged in it, and bring them to pun
ishment. And yet the papers there
seem to be trying to get up more OF
a dispute over the identity of MUIR
derers who committed crime ten
miles from that city, 1G years ago,
and who have been convicted by
law and sentenced, than over the
living question Of who committed
the dastardly outrage against law
and order in the city limits but a
few weeks since, and thereby en-
couraged all violations OF law in the
community. Search out the guilty
poltroons who are yet at large, and
let dead past and sentenced be a

The officials are working on the

II is estimated by Indiana brew
ers that one peculiar effect of the re-
cent decision of the brewers not to
furnish any more fixtures to saloon
keepers will be to materially dimin-
ish the number of saloons in Indi-
ana. This order will 60 into effect
July 1, and it is estimated that
many saloons that have been fur
nished assistance by the brewers not
only in securing furniture, but
leases, will soon collapse. This
probable effect was exhaustively
discussed at the meeting Of the
brewers when the order was agreed
upon, but it was the sense Of the
brewers that while the number of
saloons may be materially de-
creased, the brewers will not suffer,
because the sale Of beer will not de-
crease. The reasoning which led
up to this conclusion was that there
are so many thirsty individuals in
the Estate, and that they will have
their beer even if they have to walk
a square or two for it.-Louis Lud-
