PROF. BASSETT.
%]..1T

Nearly every paper in the
State has had it's say about
Prof. Bassett, and he is uni
versally condemned for his
foolish and timed utter
ances. When a man goes out
in search of a little notoriety
he should think twice before
speaking, and it is indeed a
matter of surprise that Prof.
Bassett did not remember
that within the last century
he was born, and that into
the State of North Carolina.
We have copied the follow
ing from the NeWbern Journ-
al, which best suits the case
so far as We can see into the
matter and if Prof. Bassett
desires to be consistent, he
should at once make applica
ton for a place in Tuskeega
College, Booker Washingtons
school; it is the nature of man
to better himself, and to live
with the greatest man (even
with one exception) born in
the South in the past one
hundred years, should be
deemed an honor.
The Journal says:
DIsHoNoRED AT HOME
1t is member of the household, he
or she, who can bring discredit and
disgrace upon the family, which no
outside trouble can begin to equal,
for within the household, every
thought should be to sustain and fur
ther uplift the honor of the family
name.
The South can bear with really
tranquil mind, the slurs of those liv-
ing beyond her boundaries, and refuse
to notice attacks, however false they
be.
Such outside lmputation upon the
honor or credit of the South may be
inspired by petty hatred or selflshness
or be due to political animosities.
But when one of ones own house
hold, the feeling cannot but be one of
horror, modified Ey disgust which
finds slow expression III words.
Prof. John Spencer Bassett, has
thus dishonored not so much himself,
as the State and race, which looked

losses aggregating 100000 in gold, the
government has ordered a subscription
to be taken in this colony in which
France is expected to join.
Supplies amounting to twenty tons
sent from San Francisco and carried
tree by the steamship Mariposa, have
been transferred to the French gun
boat Zelee to be transported to the des-
titute natives. The merchants have
lost heavily thru the Insolvency of
numerous creditors who persisted in the
gale. The merchants say their loss is
more than half million dollars. The
impression prevails here that it would
have been better to send money to the
natives instead of supplies. United
States Consul Doty states that while
he feels sure that the government APP
preciates the kindness of those who
contributed supplies he thinks that UNI
less money is sent or diving machines

Disaster of 1889.
This disaster has not been equalled
IN the Pacific ocean islands since that

other vessels We're ground to pieces on
the coral reefs, or thrown on the beach
in front of the little city of Apia, and
142 officers and men of the German
and American navies lost their lives.
The United States vessels destroyed
were the frigate Trenton, flagship OF
the Pacific squadron, the cruiser van
dalia and the gunboat Nipsic.
The lost German vessels were the
gunboat Ebert, the corvette, Alga, ana

vessels wrecked were principally small
crafts. The beach was strewn with
wreckage from one end OF the town to
the other, and over 900 American and
German sailors were for a time quar-
tered in the city. A large number Of
the men were injured by falling from
the rigging. or being thrown about the
