He does not seem to have ever heard of the University and its most eminent Professor Dr. Elisha Alitchell.

It so happened that her photograph was sent to friends in Eoghmd and there met the eyes of a young who exclaimed. MIf that girl 'is5' as good as' she looks I should like to marry her."

GOV. BUTLEE DEHVEEED THE OPENING SPEECH. GOV. JARV1S IS PItESEXT The following brief account is given of the opening exercises at i Boston on the 5th inst: "The opening exercises of the American Exposition at the Manufacturers' and Mechanics' Institute took place to-day. The exercises were held iu the hall at the north- nd of the building in the presence of a large number of invited guests.

It was 12:15 o'clock before the Governor entered upon the platform, lollowed by his staff and the guests of the occasion; Amonsr the nartv were Secretary Chandler, Lieutenant Ames and repsentatives of ioreign governments. The exer cises began with braver by Eev. idward Everett D. D. John AI.

Little in a few words presented as presiding officer his Excellency Gov. Butler, who delivered tlie opening address. This was follow ed by speeches from Secretary Chandler, Judge Symmes, of Denver, Gov. Jarvis, of North Julia Ward Howe and others ind an oration by Gen. Francis A.

Walker. Gov. Jarvis, in responding for the South to Governor Butler's welcome, said he came not to shake hands over the bloody chasm but to clasp hands with New England over the growing prosperity of a united people. Differences which led to the war had been settled. When the Southern people came back into the Union they came pledged to loyalty, but under the reconstruction policy adopted by Congress found "their State and county governments in the hands of persons who did not serve the interests of the section in which thev lived.

This was what made the South Solid not hatred for the government, but a desire for wise laws, justly- administed. The development of the South had been confiue'd mostly to the past ten vears. In North Carolina over 20 new cotton factories had been erec ted, factories in wood and iron were budding; and all over North Carolina to-day there' was a spirit of contentment. Our business and public interests, he said, require that there shall be no more harsh speaking of one section by another I bid yon join me in this sentiment: "Our united country, to thee -wo clinji." What L0Y6 Is. What is Lovef Love is keeping a ten-dollar family on a six salary.

When a young man kisses a girl and calls it heaven, it shows plainly that he does'nt know any more alKMit heaven than a gosling knows about Beethoven's sonatas. Love is like beer, it gets fiat when it is uncorked all the time. Some girls can't tell the between love and taffy. A baby is love materialized. Whenever love has to play second fiddle it is time to break up the band.

Love will make a man spit on his hamis and take another hold when every other power ou earth has backed out and gives it up as a bad job. Love is worth two dollars and a half a bushel to any man or any -woman living. Old Sparta. Editou Advance: Air.
