There will be a meeting of the Trustees of the 1,'niversity of North Carolina, in the Executive Office, in Raleigh, on Tuesday, the lUth July, l-M, at 4{ o'clock P. M., at which a Professor of Natural llieiory will be chosen in the place of Dr. K. W, Simouile, resigned on account of ill-health. Applications should be addreaaed to PHKSIUKNT Blltlli. Jaly 3, dw 2-w. Chapel Bill, N. C. The qualified teachers of North Carolina should be better paid.— The people—the parents who have children to be educated should place a high estimate upon the faitblul teachers ol their children. Good pay is absolutely essential to secure good teaching. The men who are serving North Carolina better than any other class, save the ministry, are the teachers who are furnished amply aud are de-voted to their work. Surely the workman is worthy ol bis hire. It paini us to know that so mauy fdiibto! instructors of jouih aie appreciated so little. The few faith- (ul teachers of our boyhood hav:' a very teDder place in our memories. When we think over their names blessings and thanksgiving arise instantly in their behalf from our lips and from our hearts. The faith ful teacher! God bless him always! He is the best friend of youth next to mother and father. Let him be honored always! What is ot su-preme importance, let him be well paid. We are reminded of this when we read a passage in a private let-ter from a distinguished teacber who bas had charge ol one ol the State Normal schools lately. Tbe Star bus tried to aid the canse of education in the past and it will work in the same direction in the future It is not weary of well do-ing. Bat to the passage in the let-ter. It is too touching and import-ant to be ibrown aside. Although ioteuded for our eye only we lay it before the eye of a discerning and an interested public. Ojr trieud writes: " It is one of the greatest needs of North Carolina that ber people should be stirred up on the subject of education, aud such result seems impossible without the aid of the press. Several of the teachers who at-tended onr Normal School were so miserably paid lor their services that they could not raise the ntnall pittance ttqnired to pay theii buard for one month timing its session, and tlieieloie bad lo leave before the clone ot the school. Oue ot them—the vwtt earneit Norinalite we had—told me that liia patrons seemed to tbiuk that he was cheat ing i heiu if be obtained, for his ser-vices, one cent more than hit victuals and clothtt.

'•Ef dar's a man in dis country what can 'splain hisself, I'se de man,' said the doctor arising. 'Some few days ago I 'vented a new medicine from roots dag otiten de groaud.' Hit struck me dat de medicine would cure de rheumatiz, an' when I went ter see the man what is ded now, I 'clnded ter 'sperimeut on him. No medicin' ain't no 'connt till you 'speriment wid hit.

Now how'd I a 'nowed dat de medicine WMt fltten for use ef I hadn't a tried it I Don't >er see de geogafy ol my judgment t Science must be 'vinced, yer know."

Mr. Constable, turn dat man loose, and caution bim not to 'vent any moah medicin' in my towimhip."—Ex Two or three days ago a colored man drove a borse and wagon up to the passenger depot on Wood-wa- d avenue and asked how long before a train wonld pass. He wan told that he had only eight minutes to wait and he exclaimed: "DiB jere hosp am au antmile dat I got hold of din mawuiu', an' I want to «ee how he will stan' de railroad." The equine had seen about tweu-ty summers and was as thin as sheet iron, and there was a general laugh at the idea of his being afraid ot anything. Nevertheless, as a Lake Shore train booted in tbe distauce, the old borse lifted his head, pricked up bis ears and eviuced considerable animation. As the train came in sight he began to dance and tbe driver held a stiff line and called out: "Whoa! Napoleon! Dat's only de Lake Sho' Railroad comin' io ! Steady, sah—what's de use o' pat-tin' on style!" As the train tbnndered in, tbe horse reared up and pawed the air, shook off a man who giabbed tbe bridle, and, wheeling arouud, he npeet the wagon and ditched it and went np the I'ontiac pike with the forward wheels jumping after. The owner was picked np in a dazed condition, more amazed than mjur ed, aud when one of the crowd '^marked that tbe horse didu't stand the railroad very well, the man replied: "Well, I dnnno. He 'peared to stan' de railroad all rigbi; but it waa dat bnllgine an' de kivered kyars which be didu't co'ch ou to. I 'spect Irom de way he acted dat he's bin ran ober lree or to' times." • IVini the Big Syndicate Ion. Irolt.

Tbe statistics show that nearly all the counties produce the great staple, aud that most of the counties are capable of doing a great deal more if tbe demand and price should autboiize it. We can see no reason for not expecting the crop ol North Carolina to reach some lime in the future TOO 000 bales. This will depend on simul-taneous prices to some extent. We must believe that piauters will not continue to raise cotton at au actual loss. We have given our views at leugth ou the necessity and wisdom of a variety of crop's and we need not say anything ttutner now.

In view of the repeated attempts at burglary in the city of late tbe advice of a celebrated English burglar while makiug his confession before execution may prove uselul. He said tbe best protection to a bouse was a small dog kept inside. It required more nerve tbau most men bad, he said, to enter a bouse at nigbt with a small dog barking in tbe obscurity of a daik room. The dog could be very easily got rid of on tbe outside.— Charlotte Obterrer. Graiued wood should be washed with cold tea. I am sorry for the little chaps of this generation, for they are stuffed and crammed with every good thing before they get old enough to enjoy it, and their very cradles are tilled with marbles, and tops, and pocket-knives, and balls, until they get lired of everything and go about uubapuy »r.d whltiiog lor something else.

I I remember—I well remember—I will always remember the first sweet kiss 1 got Irom mine. Ginger cakes were mighty good in then way, but they never thrilled me, nor waked up the elysiau joys tha' slumbered in my astonished bosom. Wonder if the like ot this is to come back to mail in heaven f 1 hope, lor love is Heaven, and tliat kind of love was innocent and pure. I honestly believe the boys of the olden times loved girls a heap bet-ter tbau the boys do now, and versa visia. There wasn't so man\ things lo tlistract their attention and seal let it around promiscuous. Why, wheu of them old tune boys loved a girl be lovi d her as haul as a mule could kick. Loved her all over, be just li-lt iike lie could wade through bloody seas to get to her. But now I here ate so many fine clothes, so iDacbjewelrj to distract a young girl's attention, that she thinks more of laslnon aud clothes than she does ot 'he boy, and tlieu there ate so many balls aud round dances aud sol mauy promiscuous arms swinging her around that she likes one fellow as well as another, aud the trouble is after she gets manied she keeps ou loving 'em. If 1 was a young man now I don't think I would mate wiih that sort ol a girl, mi ticy or no money; that is, il any other sort were in marrying die tance: and if I was a girl I would say, bands oil, young gent Ionian, until the preacher makes us better acquainted.

In the spring of 1869, a little girl died of consumption in Frederick City, aged 8 years and 3 months A tew days before she died she called her father to her bedside and said: 'Papa, when I die don't bun me deep—not more than so deep*,' bottling np ber tender and emaciat ed arm and measuring from her shoulder ont. 'Oh, it is so hard to he put down so deep in the cold, damp gronnd.and please don't place any marble slab on my grave, it will be so dark under it; and will press so heavy upon my little breast. Sod my grave nicely, and plant a tree at its head, so that the wild birds can gather in its branch es and sing for me' After a pause she continued, 'But it seems to me I would rather have onr own bird sing for me than the wild birds. Couldn't you let brother Willie and sister Emma bring onr cage ol little birds out to tbe cemetery every Sunday morniug and leave them to sing for me all day I When you are all at church in town it won't seem so lonesome oat by myself.' A few days alter this Anna died, and her affectionate parent did everything she request ed. She was buried shallow, the grave nicely sodded and a tiee plauted at its head.
