TID BITS, AN Eastern paper states that ex- Governor Coburn, the millionaire, was once reduced to such straits that he had to borrow $1200. We know of a man who has to borrow more than that all the time, but for some reason he never gets the chance. PROFESSOR SAFFORD, the astro- nomer, says that he prefers to study science in French, as that language is more exact than any other. When afly lights on his nose, just as he has struck a tan- gent on a new comet, he makes his remarks in pure United States, JEFF DAVIS, in bis article in the North American Review, maintains that the Indians should not be sep- arated from the whites. Jerr is go- ing back on secession. JUDGE TOURGEE has invented a harness which is made entirely of brass and steel. If he wants to give its strength a practical test, let him try it on a Tombs’ lawyer, hitch the traces to a pile of common hon- esty, and if it will stand the tug of the former’s attempts to get away, it will stand anything. “Miss MApDGE,” of London Truth, came out with a paragraph advising every woman to buy as many bonuets as she can afford. At last accounts the mob of men had broken in the outer gates, and un- less the sheriff can hold out until the military comes, it will go hard with the rash woman. EORKIGN MISSION CONVEN- TION. The executive board of the For eign convention of the District of Columbia, met at the 2d Baptis, church on Thursday afternoon last, and was well represented. Rev. J- a.

The hour for the meeting of the convention is 10:30 a. m., when it is expected as well as hoped that each church and sunday school will be represented. The Board also passed a resolution strongly ex- pressing the hope that as the con- vention year closes Nov. 30 and the agent is called by previous arrange- ment to another field by Dec. Ist, that some convenient. time be set for collection within the present month, by each church and sunday school. The convention will be called to order by Rev. W.

This community was well favor- ed with Literary and musical con- certs last week, which more than equal its share in proportion to the ordinary marches and promanades by brass horns and and string music. It weut far to sustain the beliet, that the mind of this section in common with others of the District. sustains ; its proportionate relation to litera- ture, and other essential elements of education.

PROGRESS OF THE COLORED PEOPLE. HON. JOHN M. LANGSTON SPEAKS. (From our special correspondent.) Raleigh, N. C., Nov.°13, 86 After roughing it through the Chesapeake on the might of the 6th inst. we arrived in Norfolk to our surprise to remain during Sunday, in consequence of no train for this point, however being determined to reach here on Mon~ day, an all nights tedious journey, brought us to this place on the 8. Possibly a more beautiful day has never dawned upon the “City of Oaks” in the whole history of the North Carolina Industrial Associ- ation, covering a period of eight ears, than the eighth day of Oct rom a clear blue sky benignant rays of the great orb came smil- ingly down, shedding its genial warinth upon the city, filling the hearts of thousands with joyous anticipations of the event of the week. These anticipations were fully realized in every particular, for Providence furnished good weather and the management fur- nished, to the letter, the grandest and best fair ever bad under the auspices of the association. In the excellency of the charae- ter of the articles exhibited; the variety and beauty; the classifica- tion of entries &c. in the several departments, are conceded by many who attended previous fairs, to have no compeer in the past. You are aware of the fact, that curiosity is the appetite of the mind and apon it tne best intel- lect feed, which, when digested develops in the curious a knowl- edge of men, measures and the {things of the world, The tenden- cy and drift of mankind since the advent of our common ancestor old father Adam are more and tributes largely to our civilization The people who generally attend fairs are pr mpted by a different kind vf curiosity, a kind of a morbid curiosity and indifference which do not stimulate or awaken an interest in the institution; of this class, of course, there are some, but few, the most being the best people from every section of the state interested in the welfare and progress of the race with which they are identified. It is purely a representative cluss com- prehending the wealth, intelli- gence and industry of the state. Tuesday the 2nd day we put in our appearance at 11 o’clock and paid our respects to the officers, who accorded us a most kindly welcome. Articles for exhibition were yet coming in and three or four pretty lady clerks making the entries and assigning them to their respective departments. We could not leave without speaking to one and interrogated her as to the number of departments, who kindly informed us that the num- ber was included in the alphabet from A.to P. We then repaired tothe hall to hear Gov. Scales who spoke at length in a very complimentary strain. : Wednesday was “Educational day.” All the children (col.) ot the city schools forming a proces- sion to the grounds and with aa au more in this direction, which cons} cipals, teachers, perents friends crowded into the spacious hall where Prof. J. M. Langston in a most happy and eloquent manner delivered an address. Conspicuous upon the stage were the Supt. of Public Instruction and other state officials. The following delegates to the African Foreigu Mission conven- tion, were elected from the Virgin- ia Avenue on the 24th. R. S. Laws, S. F. Webb, Thomas Mantre, Geo. Jackson, and Henry Phillips.

It is esti- mated that over 2000 people were on the grounds, m litary and fire companies in competition drills, trotting races and the interesting and close bicycle contest betweeu Messrs. Dr. Fiser, Hyman and Goins, were the principal outdvor attrac'ions. We were then con- ducted through Floral and Agris cultural hal's by the affuble and day evening last.
