BARNUM FOOLED CANADIANS.

According to native Canadian. Bar
mum & Bailey's circus will never be

T. Barnum's fault. For many years
there had been a heavy duty on pos
ters going into the dominion. Barnum
was getting ready for an extended tour
Of the provinces and determined to
avoid this enormous expense. So tons
of the posters went over the border
two years before the beginning of the
tour. The stuff was not called for,
and laid in the custom house until the
officers decided to advertise 1t for sale
at auction. Barnum sent an agent TO
the sale to buy up the show bills, and
he did so at bargain. The secret
got out, and that is the reason the pa
triotic citizens of Canada are down on
anything that bears the name of Bar
mum.

" versed in the history of North Carolina,

lima History, at 12:45 Monday next.

Cobb, of the State University, will give
an Illustrated lecture on THE Land Reefs
of North Carolina
In order to teach language well, one
should be familiar with many tongues.
Mr.. Morson, who has charge of the De
partment of Latin at the Summer School.
is linguist and scholar, who has made a
deep impression upon the minds of the
youth of our city.
There are many people who have a most
sketchy knowledge of Latin. They can.
with great exertion and the aid of a
dictionary form a somewhat misty idea
OF the text in Caesar, or Vergil, or Horace.
Many teachers have themselves felt the
keenest need of thorough drill in the
rudiments of Latin grammar, which their
manifold duties during the winter term
render it impossible to gain The course
offered by Mr.. Morson is a rare oppor-
tunity for all persons who feel the lack of
thorough instruction in this branch.
His beginners class have spent the past
three weeks in vigorous drill in the de-
clensions and congregations.
The intermediate class are studying
syntax in connection with Caesar, and the
advanced class are reading Horace's Odes
and doing work in Latin composition.
Mr.. Morson has the power of condensing
the important points in such way, that
facts which before appeared dry and hard
to be retained in the memory, are packed
away lin nut shell, and are as clear
as Mother Gooses Melodies.

from England, Canada, and other coun-

which is said to be located in North Caro-

The information is probably desired by
those who bought degrees or those who
had been solicited to buy degrees. The
Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligencer
which has done a good service heretofore
by exposing the humbug, furnishes the
facts desired by the correspondents of

1.-The Messenger Intelligencer has expos
ed Barrett on two occasions. Our older
subscribers will remember that some ten
or twelve years ago We printed an ac-
count of how he induced Dan Robinson, a
well to do cclored, man, who then lived in
Morven township. to put up the money on
a green goods deal. Dan and Barrett went
to New York expecting TO return home
rich men. but instead of their dreams be-
ing realized Dan was touched for about
$500. Barrett promised TO make Dams
less good. but we don't know whether he
ever did or not.
Again, some seven or eight years ago,
barrett induced handsome young wo-
man. the daughter of well known Epis-
copal minister of England Barrett has
visited England several times and usually
succeeded in raising considerable sums of
money for his school in that country to
accompany him to North Carolina as a
teacher In his school. The poor girl as
soon as she reached the South found out
her mistake but did not know what TO do,
rs she was thousands of miles from home
and completely in the power of Barrett.
The Messenger Intellgencer learned her
story the day after she reached Pee Dee
and give it to the world, the result be-
ing that Barrett came very near being
lynched, while the girl was taken to the
home Of Mr.. George Wharburton. who is
an Englishman by birth, but is now, and
tas been for many years, one of Rocking
hams leading citizens. The girl remained
under Mr.. Wharburton's roof until her
father could be communicated with. when
