Of course the Democrats carried

Iowa elects a Democratic Gov-

Republicans have the Legislature,

Nebraska went Republican, as it

great victory for the Democracy.
It is also a strong rebuke to the
present corrupt administration,
and points clearly to the result of
the next Presidential election.
Harrison and Quay were backing
Mahone in all his corruption, ho-

break the solid South, but they
now find as a rebuke to their
ming and bribery that the South
is more overwhelmingly solid than
ever before, and that the
racy even invaded Republican
strongholds and gained victories
where victory was least expected.
It is hardly possible for a man to
receive a worse defeat and be

We were not exactly prepared to
hear of such a consummation but
the happy event occurred Hen-
on of last week.
She was married to Mr. Albert
editor of the Lincoln,
Neb., Call. True she did not go
beyond the pale of journalism, but
how she did turn her back on
North Carolina. She could not
get much further from us than in
Nebraska. But we all will have
pleasant recollections of her
that every blessing may come

The Public School Committee-
men for the District embracing the
town of Greenville, are advertising
for teachers to conduct separate
schools for the sexes. They deem
this change best in order that
certain troubles which have exist-
ed in some former sessions may be
remedied. They are desirous of
elevating the standard of the pub-
schools so that would hes-
to send their children to them.
The Committee will adopt a set of
rules for the government of the
schools and require both teacher
and pupil to adhere to them. We
see but one obstacle in the way of
raising Hie standard having
these public schools conducted as
the Committeemen desire, and that
is the price offered for teachers.
The Reflector is of the opinion
that the talent they are search
of cannot be secured for per
month. The price is too small,
gentlemen, and the best teachers
can hardly be expected to engage
at such figures.

Some time since Mr. Arch
discovered that his cat was eat-
chickens, and thought to be rid
of him, and got a to take him
four miles in the country one after-
noon, but wan back to breakfast
next morning. The chicken killing
continued, something bad to
done. So, morning about sis
weeks ago the cat was locked in a
box-car loaded with rosin, which car
went straight through to Ports-
mouth, Va. Imagine Mr.
surprise to sec the cat back at
home last Thursday at noon. It had
traveled more than miles, and
been six weeks on tho road. Sever-
neighbors, as well as the owner,
it as the same cat sent
away. The poor thing is hardly
more than skin and bones. There is
no miracle in tho fact that it walked
miles, the mystery is how
if knew the direction. This is a
Starr, but is
true.
