Cjit Sla?ftea aita &u?>m WEDNESDAY. FEB. 10, '82. Letter From Boston. Bosto? MASS , Feb 1, *92. \ We have had our choice of weather m Boatoa all winter long. We have bad warm rains, suffocating fog*, high winds, then 'snow and ice and won? drous cold* with evening skies aUaze, with chilly reds and splendid yeHowa against which the bare black t ee-limbs traced themselves en siUtouette; the pale ; moon crescent aswim in the sky with her attendant planet?; below the blne ? white dszz'e points of electric lights. One afternoon we pai? a visit by in Y- ation to the Harvard" Annes, "Fay ^ House,*' as it is ojien called, to see a perforrnaoce by the Idler Club. They gaye two little plays. .'Sunset" and the comedietta "A Cup of Tea." As only iadies were invited the men's parts were taken tu costume and very funny ?hey were. Perhaps ali South Caro lin ians do not know that the song "Fair Harvard" wea written by a Charles? ton ian and written ia Fay House. A copy of the poem and the doctor's pic tore are. preserved there now'. lt was very late when we turned oar fices homeward; beautiful Cambridge and the extensive University grounds were "gray, indistinct in the twilight." ?We picked op a few rustling bean-pods Of the honey locust for souvenirs, said good-bye to our charming entertainers and reeehed the city after half an hour's ride in the electric car. Crossing the. river we had a glorious view of the big bridge spa un io g the misty blue of the St. Charles with a tiara of brilliant top?a tioted lights. lt looked, unreal and dream-tike in the lbw moments between the dusk and tefcr v lt ie wot very often that the N. E. C. students are permitted a visit to - Cambridge; IQ fact, they are only allowed a look at fair Harvard ander strict chaperonage, and one of the girls feld me she wouldn't have it known for anything that she used "Harvard Tooth Powder/' H would mean iustaat expul? sion. lt is half a day's journey, more or less, to gc from the N E. 0 to either Cambridge, Chelsea or Summer ville, even on the electric cars, and we are too bus? here, or ought to be, f^?rartis loa* V Atsd time is fleeting," to go gadding about. \ U is a question how mach of art shall we sacrifice for general information and culture, and after a term or two of sight seeing you are content to settle down to hard work and only emerge . from your ?shell to hear Patti or Nordics,, cr see jBernhardt or J alia Marlowe. We cannot realize that the winter 4erm has fled away with ?ts pleasures 2shd holiday week making a little gap io . ?the busy days. The entrance ball is filled with the -luggage of the nouveaux who. are com niig in. and the Moe before the register? ing desk grows longer day by day. The old pupils go tranquilly on. the -wise ones registering before the rush of -the last week begins. The new- vocal teacher, Mr. Martin .'Boeder, has arrived. He has been for -years io the Conservatory of Dublin, abd -must be a nun of note iu the musical world, for ? see in the last papers that "a musical comedy, 'Ruy Gomez,' by 31 ar tia j? jeder, wi ?i soon be produced at "l&fi^Pragie Lindes tTbe?tre:" J He doesn't look very esthetic or musi -eal, bet more like a benevolent bandit. Hie hair is very black and stands up all over his bead in stiff curls; his eyes Are hidden by round glasses, and the dower5 part of his face by a heavy beard -and mustache not nearly as dark as bis hair; Boston and New York are opening their arms and hearts to the best for? eign musicians and European coo ser va tories will lose their prestige with the loes Cf their greatest minds. . Amerbaos are beginning to realize that it isn't necessary to go to Europe /or an education io art. In the last Art Interchange there is a clever paper by "Charlotte Adams on "Does it pay American girls to study art in Paris ? ? She say>r : **Why go to Paris to study with Conrtots, when you caa study at New York with W. M. Chase, who, I think, is the better man to learn from. L fe ore's FVench pupil Doucet, now an in? structor in the Paris schools, is no 4>eU?r draughtsman than Loft-bre's -?\ <\ iD pupil, Dewing, and possesses tar less brilliancy and individuality. The simple dedactfon of personal exper? ience is this, that Paris study no longer pays Jbr American giris. The best place for American girls is America " Directly in support of this comes a letter from a frieud who k stalvtng io Parfc; she writes: "I am painting with Mr. Scott You will say 'strange she paints with sn American in Paris !' But it is not ' strange pince he bas a finer appreciation of color (in my opinioo) than any man 1 know and I am so sure I can make j more progress with him." AU this could be said with equal troth -of music students. Why go to Germany or France to study tonnie when we haje such men as Bason i, Faelten, Sherwood? Doorah, George Parker and a host of others here in our own coun? try? And as for musical "atmosphere,'* yon fiad it as ;ovi?orating io B>stou as you weald io Berlin. In ? New York letter to the Tran? script the writer profanely alludes to the great musical meteors of 'di as "the everlasting Paderewski," and say? his American managers bad it stipulated in 'the bond that bis hair was not to be cut.

We raved over bim and bis yeJJow chrysanthemum bead, as all his audi? ences do, sud I hope he will forgive me if I say that splendid as he is, he doesn't play any better than "our Mr. Buses i." We have had some delightful faculty concerts io Sleeper Hall lately. The last was a recital of chamber music hy tbs N. E C. string quartet. The second and last number of the program was the Rabeustein trio in B flit for violin, cello and piano.

WILLIK, S C., Fef. 2.-For some time a ruinor concerning certs.in import? ant discoveries of gold in Greenville aud Spartan burg counties has been whis? pered about quietly. Wheo the Wolfe ! aod-Tyger miuing company was organ? ised receotiiy va Spartanburg it was sug? gested that that iucident would be soon followed by-important developments. Such is the case. This company, which is composed cf L W. Jordao, of Seneca, D. A. P. Jordan, of Greenwood, and \ the Messrs. Sullivan, of Anderson, have discovered veins of ore here which surpass the wildest dreams of gold seekers. They have spent many thoo 3and dollars in developing the property, and before the schemes they have al? ready inaugurated have been perfected they wt?i invest many thousand more. So far they have traced and located by sinking shafts to the water level twelve veins of ore which assay in New York as high as $387 per -ton One of these veins has b'*en traced fully two miles, the ore yielding handsome results throoghoar. The company has built and is now operating an improved ten stamp mill, and only lacks water before others are to be set iu position. George Ladshaw, of Spartbarg, is DOW on the grouud making the neces? sary surveys to bring a large stream of water to the summit of a ii ii 1 which commands the whvie gold bett, and io a few days a large force of work? men will be engaged in constructing the reqnired canal. The gold yielding belt extends for about four or five miles -at least, that is as far as it has been traced at present. In this district, prospectors have located and staked off some three hundred acres of gravel which pans truly enormous quantities of gold. The company's operations are being pushed with great rapidity, and there will shortly be some btartliug developments in this section.-Green ciVe Nt tc i Money in Circulation, WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Th?

SAVANNAH, GA , Feb 2 -David Porter, deputy collector of customs at. Savannah, was shot and killed by his sixteen-year-old son at I o'clock this morning at Porter's residence. Porter went home late under the influence of liquor and being chided by his wife? struck her. His daughter interfered and theu young Porter ran to the bureau and, taking out a loaded revolter, fired at his father. The father turned on the soo and both fell on the ft >or together, in the struggle for the pistol young Porter shot twice again, the last shot j penetrating his father's breast near the heart. He staggered to his feet and into the next room and fell into a rock? ing chair and died. Tho boy ran into the street and called to the neighbors that he had shot his father. Us then summoned the family physician and after that walked lo ib? police head? quarters and surrendered. He did not know for some time that he had killed his father, as he left his home as soon as he fired the *hot. In talking of the affair iu his c ll, he said: '"If I have killed my tallier, that is, if bc dies from his wounds, I have it to say from his lips that I did ligb'. A f-jw years ago, speaking in my presence about a young mau killing his father iu this city for beatiug his mother, my father in reply to a remark that the young man must regret his crime con? tinually said : 'Never ! He may regret the necessity, but n;rer* the act.' " The parricide was collected and cool in ail bc ?aid. Co-Education in Colleges. Wilmington Messenger. We read with interest a thoughful paper in the N. Y. Forum of some months siuce, entitled "A Review o the Higher Education of Women," by the wife of Prof Palmer, of Har? vard University, but heiself a native of New York State. She has written and lectured much on education. The article in the Forum is the pro I duction of a disciplined mind and one I with large observation and experi? ence. She has much to say of co ed? ucation (if the sexes ia the higher schools and colleges and her conclu? sions in the main are not so very favorable to such a scheme of educa? tion. The youthful "progressives," who are ready tojump at every "new thiug" thai comes along and particu lurly if it comes from the North, may be possibly benefited by an attentive reading of Mrs. Palmer's calm discus? sion. She was graduated at Welles? ley College, aud with whose govern? ment she was connected for a dozen years. Go-education means the assembling and teaching of young mea. and women in the same classes. In all particulars of conditions' of admission, discipline, requirements, opportuni? ties, etc-, they are the same for both sexes. Tit? mea mostly teach these mixed, classes. There is no more 8urveilauce over one sex than over the other sex. They board around the towns where each may choose to go. In some few colleges women are requited to live together. "But," says Mrs. Palmer ; "in most of the higher co educational institutions the principle has from the first been as? sumed that students of both sexes be? come sufficiently matured by eigh? teen years of home, school, and social life-especially under the ample op? portunities for learning the -uses of freedom which our social habits af? ford-safely to undertake a college course, and advantageously to order their daily lives." As a very old fossil, or moss back, or fogy is pre? paring this, it need hardly to be ad? ded that he does not think that ar? rangement of mingling and living around towns "nice" and *<good'' and desirable-or especially conducive to scholarship or improved manners and morals At the University of Michigan 2,500 students are scattered over the town. Of course, sweethearts can live at the sam? house. Just think of such free and promiscuous com? mingling if you please. Just think of the average character of some of the mea who ate there. A youirg man from Fayetteville puce gave "us an account of his observations at a lending Michigan school. Another Carolinian, with some months obser? vation of student life at Harvard, where there is an Aunex for womeu, told us of some things he saw. Mrs. Palmer says of the girls at the University ef Michigan-takiug one of them to illustrate : "She makes the business arrange? ments for her winter's fuel and its storage ; she finds her washerwoman - or her laundry , she arranges her own hours of exercise, of study, and o? sleep, she chooses her own society, clubs, and church. The advice she gets comes from another girl student of sophomoric dignity who chances to be in tho same house, or possibly from a still more advanced young woman whom she met on the journey, or sat near in church on her first Sun? day:' Site thinks that where anxieties have beeti allayed there is "a healthy and hearty relationship and honest rivalry between young rae? and "wo? men," and that it "develops in good stock a strength and independent bal? ance which tell in after life." How it is with the "stock" not "good", she does not say. She does not con? demn the system, but she says much that satisfies this writer that the sys? tem as a whole is not good, is not to be commended, and is surely not weeded and is not desirable for the South, and particularly for North Carolina. Mt s. Palmer, with the large experi? ence and observation, says that this system "does not meet every need of a woman's nature." We make one quotation more and turu from the subject to day. She says, and reflect? ing men and women-specially pa? rents and guardians and able teach- i eis-will think long over it: , "A woman is an object of attrac? tion to men, and also fii herself so delicately organized as to be fitted i peculiarly for the graces and domes- i deities of life. The exercise of her I special function of motherhood de- ? mands sheltered circumstances and ? refined moral perceptions." i Can a mixed school-can boarding ? at will around towns, give this so much needed protection, these guards, this shelter ? We do not be? lieve it. Weare gratified to know i that President Winston is not favora? ble to making the University of North Carolina a mixed school-a girl and boy commingling and love making arrangement. Will the Railroads Revolts The ead is not yet in the railroad assessment matter. Valuations may be piled up at the sweet and unre? strained will of the Administration, but how are taxes to be gathered from the mountaintops ? Comptroller General Ellerbe has changed our estimate of him. Judg? ing him by his words, we had thought that his s<de desire was to secure a just and equitable assessment of all property for taxation, and that when the Legislature refused to accede to his recommendation that all property be assessed at its true value, he would ahnte the valuation of railroad and bank property lo the standard of assessment of other property. But Mr. Ellerbe hasn't done it. Confronted with a plain and reasona? ble request from a railroad that its property should not bo arbitrarily assessed at a higher rate than that at which private property was assessed, he has evaded the issue, and has rele? gated the petitioner to the o?icial mercies of tlie county treasurers and auditors, who, it will be remembered, are at the official mercy of Governor Till roan Why should not Mr. Ellerbe have done the fair thing? We still credit him with being a well meaning man Why should he not have been willing to do the justice which was asked of him? It is another evidence of the malign domination of Governor Till? man, the mau who "wags the tail of his Administration VJ Well, the Comptroller General has given his ultimatum, and the rail? roads are now to present theirs. Cut off from justice before the State authorities, we shall not be surprised to find them seeking redress iii the United States courts. What will be the end of it. Liti? gation, litigation, litigation. It seems to be the policy of the Admin? istration to provoke litigation It may be that the millions arbitrarily annexed to the tax books, inducing a nominal decrease in taxation, will vanish into the air before this ques? tion is settled And then ? The State will be in a predicament, in? deed. Money will be lacking in the treasury, and the government may be crippled. So much for me dangers of injustice.-State. Newberry News and Herald. By what authority did the Execu? tive Committee direct that all clubs organize on the same day ? If this Committee is to take charge of every? thing there will be little use of a county executive committee. The Slate Committee, as at present consti? tuted, is fully competent to run the whole machine. They don't even need the assistance of the people. The question may arise after awhile, however, as to who is boss of the machine,-the present ring and coterie of office-holders or the people? Unless we very much mistake the spirit and intelligence of the people, they will no more be willing to sub? mit to dictation from the Tillman fac? tion and ring than they were or would be from any other set. There is more evidence of dictation and bossism from the present regime than we have ever seen before, and the people will find it out by and by. The great difference is the present office liolding set seem to claim the}' are the people. Pinkerton is Hopping. CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-"That man Watson is making a fool df himself," said Detective Wm. A. Pinkerton to a reporter this morning regarding the policy advocated by Representative Watson, of Georgia, in the bill which he introduced in the lower house recom? mending that congress make a thorough investigation of Piukertou and the alleged abuses that had grown up under its practices. "He must be insane," Mr. Pinkerton continued. "He states that we are prac? tically a quasi-military organization, fostered by capital, and consequently a constant menace to the common people of the land. He says that we employ an army of 35,000 salaried men-a greater force than the entire regular army con? sists of. Now, any sensible person knows thar this is absurd. It is all bosh The fact is that we employ about 1,000 j mea, and every one of them is dong nothing but legitimate work. "Why, this roan is makin? a laugh? ing stock of himself in Wat>biugton. Only recently I received a letter from a friend of mine, who is io congress, and in it he~explained to me how YVatson's associates sat back in their chairs and smiled down their sleeves whenever he arose to talk on the subject. "As for the investigation of our sys? tem be proposes, I wish it would be made. Nothing would please me more. Theu the mouths of these crank and kickers would be silenced, at least for a time, and the people at large would be convinced that our employes are an honorable class of men, and that our business is carried on ia a perfectly straight and legitimate way.'' No Chance for Free Silver. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2 -The Demo? cratic caucus called for next Friday night has been declared off, at least for the present. Representative Harter, of Ohio, who circulated the call last week, said today; "I have decided not to press for a causus this week on the silver question. Frankly, I think, the danger of silver legislation for this ses? sion bas passed. The knowledge has come to many earnest advocates of free silver, but who are iovers of the party, that the passage of a free coinage bill here would Tip thc party down the back like a grasshopper. The quiet talks about the House,have shown an opposi? tion to such a bill as was sot dreamed of even by those who have from the start been opposed to it both on prio cipie aud from policy. It would be hard to get seventy-five men in the Hou^e who do not think it would be a political biuuder. The newspapers of the party, too, are helping us in the 5ght. Many of them who believe in free silver have sounded a halt and pointed out the party's ruin which lies ahead of a us. Along with this comes the outspoken declaration of the German press that their readers will desert the party like a cloud, and the busiocss men of th? country of all shades of oationality are with them. It is found that scores of men whose devotion to the party is beyond all question can? not be driven into the support of any man for the Presidency upoo a free sil? ver platforn. lu short, those who are opposed to the Democratic party mak? ing an assignment or going into bank? ruptcy are united against any action on silver this session. On this question 3ouod money men and free silver men stand together. This is the ground upou which I say I do not think a free silver p'ank will bs put under our candidate for President in 1892." - .11 ? 1 rn Exit Louisiana Lottery. NE?' ORLEANS. Feb. 3 -John A.

The terrible wreck on the Westean North Carolina railroad at Bostiao's bridge, near Statesville, on August 27, is still fresh in the public mind. It will be remembered that twenty-two people lost their lires and the Richmond and Djuville Railroad company offered a reward ot ?10,000 for proof to convict, the person or persons who caused the wreck. A special of last Monday from Charlotte, says that the fisud has been caught. His name, so the story goes, is John Boyd, aud he is now lying in Mecklenburg county jail. Immediately after the offer of the big reward by the railroad company, the country around i?bout Stateeville began to swarm with professional detectives and others who wanted to win the big prizj. But with all their cunning and ingenious plans, it was not until recent? ly that the slightest clew was obtained. Shortly after Christmas, so the story goos, Johu Boyd, who came from the vicinity of States ville, was arrested for stealing a cow. Nothiug out of thc ordinary was suspected at the time, but it now develops that thc cow story was only a pretext, aud that Boyd is wanted for having caused the Statcsville wreck. ^The case is said to have been worked up by an Atlauta detective named Haney. Ilauey says that a few weeks ago he was thrown in company with a traiu hand on the Richmond and Dan? ville railroad, aud from him he gained several pointers in reference to a pack- | age that Biyd had left with a mau in ; Statcsville. Later; he learned that the package contained ?1,GOO in hills and some jewelry. He al-o got such other information that enabled him to j weave a chain of evidence that Boyd j could not evade, and at last he forced j a full confession from the criminal's lips, j Boyd says he got the money from the j bodii? of thu dead people while assisting : to move them from the wreck. The report concludes with the statement that the whole story U PO well con? nected ns not to leave a shadow of doubt as to the guilt of Boyd and his acces? sories, the names of whom are also in the possession of the detective. ---'-9 -?a^-?
