the great cause of education, and that
there is no conflict between Church and
State in this matter Rivalry between
the institutions themselves is wholesome,
if it is fair and honorable, just as rivalry
between the colleges of single denomlna-
ton helps to put each on its mettle as
to equipment and standing and helps to
get pupils that would never go to any
school except for the competition for
them

cation and also in State Education. 1t
could not believe in the common schools
if it did not believe in State Education.
The Catholic Church is consistent in
teaching that no education should be by
the State and in fighting the public
schools The RecordeF is illogical and in
consistent because it believes that the
State should educate the child in the for
native period of its life and that it is
wrong for the State to educate him after
the character has been largely formed The
Standard believes in Church Education
because it believes in the right and the
duty of every church to propagate itself
through the influences it can throw
around education. But the Standard be-
lieves that a good deal of the talk about
Christian Education is beside the mark.
Christianity shrinks from self-advertise-
ment always. 1t cannot be impaired and
it cannot be prohibited by any process of
education anywhere. And when our State
Institutions in North Carolina have at
their heads and in their faculties just the
same sort of Christian men that our
church colleges have, the Standard would
feel little hypocritical in talking about
State Institutions as Anti Christian or
even un-Christian. The churches should
support their own institutions as nobly as
the Presbyterian Church in North Caro-
lima is supporting Davidson and our five
colleges for women. And then, instead of
abusing State and the State Institutions,
they should see that those institutions,
from the public schools up, should have
thrown around them all the influence of
the Church and of the Church's minis
try.

WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY.

william Ernest Henley died on Sunday
in London, at the age of 81. He wrote
four immortal verses with the title,
''Invictus,' Unconquered:
Out of the night that covers me,
BLACK as the pit from pole to pole,
/ thank whatever Gods may be
For my unconQuerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
/ have not WINGED nor cried aloud,
Under the bludgeonings OF chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror OF the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafrald.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the
SCROLL
/ am the master of my fate;
/ am the captain of my soul.

THE NORTH CAROLINA BOOKLET.

In itself the North Carolina Booklet is
worth much more than the price OF the
subscription, but the patriotic women who
undertake It's publication have an object
that should appeal to all North CAROLYN
ians. That object Is thus stated by Mrs.
D. H. Hill In the preface:
THE object of the MOI tn Carolina Book
LET is to erect a suitable memorial to the
petriotic women who composed the Eden.
ton Tea Party
"These stout-hearted women are in every
way worthy of admiration. On October
25, 177i seven months before the de-
FAINT farmers of Mecklenburg had been
aroused to the point of signing their De-
claration of Independence, nearly twenty
months before the declaration made by
the gentlemen composing the Vestry of
St. Pauls Church, Edenton, nearly two
years before jefferson penned the immort-
al National Declaration, these daring wo-
men solemnly subscribed to a document
affirming that they would use no article
taxed by England. Their example foster
cd in the whole State a determination to
die or to be free.
I'm beginning the new series, the Daugh :
tiers of the Revolution desire to express
their most cordial thanks to the former
competent and untiring faithful editors,
and to ask for the new management the
hearty support of all who are interested
in the brave deeds. high thought, and

LITERARY NOTES &c &c &c &c. 6. 6
The Southern readers and critics of Mr..
William CARROT Browns novel, A Cen
tleman OF the South, have been highly
gratlfied at the appropriateness OF all the
books features. and the care which has
evidently been exercised upon them. The
keystone, OF Charleston, S. c., one OF the
leading literary magazines of the South,
comments on the artistic touch surround
ing the volume, and goes on to say that

Davis's birthday, and bind it in Confed-
crate gray, and use the cotton plant as a
decoration" 1t is interesting to note
that the Southern papers agree in say

true types of the Southern gentleman.

mission to Germany, 1S79-1S81. The am
bassador found in those two years that
his duties and pleasures gave him expert
ence sounding almost every note from the
sublime to the ridiculous, and brought
him into close touch not only with such
personages as President Hayes, Secretary
Evarts, Beaconsf1eld. Browning and the
Emperors William l, Frederick, and Will
liam III, but with all kinds of Americans

Jack London, that versatile and adven-
turous writer, was never seen to better

July Atlantic. Mr.. London writes from a
full first-hand knowledge of the North
country; yet while his paper is full Of
information, it is so filled with the spirit

powerful piece of imaginative writing.

HEAVY RAINS RAISE

Water Is at an Unusually High Stage

On account of the recent heavy rains
the water in the Mississippi river is at
an unusually high stage for this sea-

read 1872 feet above the low water
mark. During the past few days the
rise has averaged about six inches a
day.
Though the present stage is about
two feet below the danger line, no
damage will be caused, as the high
water caused by the rain will recede as
soon as the upper valley has been
drained. The river may rise a little
more during the next day or two

the transfer of many of the depart

While there are others that has not
enough, and it is this they desire to
equalize.
For the commissioners to make any
