I write now, not to correct or change sny opinion expreseed then, alshough your corres. pondeuts “Fair Play” and “Granger No. 2,” may lead me to advert more explicity to some things spoken of at that time. No one will deny that the new and wonder- fal facilities far communicating with distant parts of the country is the direct cause of com- petition between the home and distant mer- chant; and every body knows that the mer- chant who sells the cheapest draws the cus- tomers. If the facilitjes would admjt of it, ovr people would send their orders to Liver- pool, Paris, or Berlin, if they thought the best bargains were to be bad there. There is neith- er mystery nor malice in this. Jt is a law of trade, «©: °° es oe .

The executive committee of the Radi- cal party of this State—or rather the revenuc and other Federal officials, and the negro bosses who are dignified with that appellation—bave issued a secret ad- dreas to the “anointed,” disclosing their policy and. their programme for the con- vention campaign this summer. ‘I'he last resolution read as follows : Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be forwared by the secretary, together with the proceedings of this meeting, to every Republi- can newspaper here represented, Sd {o every editor who has responded to the call by letter; and it 13 understood that these proceedings ure not to be published, BUT THE RESOLUTIONS ARE FOR “CONFIDENTIAL”.

It is well known that trade is not governed by social or patriotic considerations but by in- terest. Remonstrances against this law only provoke indiyidual resentments, The South- ern press has been remonstrating with Southern merchants for fifty years against building up northern merchants and factories, and yet the trade goes on, growing larger year by year.— This shows that it is not a case for such a rem- edy.

They have disregarded all sorts of appeals, and prosecuted it (during the war) sometimes against the most stringest laws, and when there was forced in the appeal of pa- triotism. Nor is this singular or at all astoun- ding. The peoples ofthe world do the like— trade where they can make or save the most money. Ifthe merchants themselves are not governed by sucial and patriotic considerations it is un- |reasonable to expect the people to be governed by them, and folly to cry out—“Rutnous.” But I respectfully submit that “Ruinous” was the merest bugbear. Ifthere is mischief to the home merchant in the practice of direct trading it will rectify itself. The process may be slow but itis sure. The wide-awake merchant is a sortof trade barometer. He is constantly on the look out for changes likely. to affect his interest, and he ‘s sure to discover any that may exist, and to adopt his measures to meet them.

It may stimulate the producing interests of the country by driving capital into manufacturing and agricultural pursuits.— These changes, if they take place at all, will be in strict conformity to the usual laws of trade; will ensue naturally and easily, doing no harm to the country, though an individual operator here and there may go under, or “go up,” to use 8 cant phrase, just as we see them going new, from oa@ cause or apothey , ) Brougham. + GRANGER. cut that rag for the, parpose “of opening Philadelphia and New York, | am prepared to commanication with a depot of gu, plics. | offer (to Merchants only) the same, if not Let- ter advantages here, as it they were to go North, or order themselves.

Text: | Philippians, xxiv. ch. 5—8 verses. | “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus”. Them, the humility of Christ. Previous to his incarnation, Christ existed in the form of God perpetually manifesting the | Godhead. For the accomplishment of an end he divested | himeelf of this glory, and became a man. , Asa man he made himself of no reputation. | Though retaining all his divine attributes— | these were vealed in human flesh. Though he | was God in the manger at Nazareth, in the | Garden and on the cross—the world knew him | notand believed him as a peasant, rejected him 'as being unworthy their esteem. Making himself of no reputation he took up- | }on himself the form of a servant. Literally a }slave. Put himself fully in the hand of anoth- er, to obey anothers woid, to auffer anothers | will. | As a servant he was obedient unto the death of) |! the cross—the most painful and ignominious—- j the visitors were summioued by the belk to! such humility, auch sacrifice ! not the spirit of Christ ye are none of his, AT St. Luke's (EpiscopaLt) Curucn, the sermon was preached by the Rev F. J. Murdoch, Rector, from St. Luke V.—4, 5, 6. “And when He had left speaking, He said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down | your nets for a draught. And Simon answering | xaid unto Him, Master, we heve toiled all the night, and have taken nothing ; nevertheless at | thy word I wili Jet down the net. And when he | had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.” Mr. Murdoch. said, | miracle, we find these things-—Distrust on -that here, as in every man’s part to accomplish it—1. e¢.---a want, of faith in all human instrumentalities. (2) faith /in God (3) A confession of that faith and the use of all the means which God has commanded. And this ia a true picture of the ean battle of a clristain’s life For the christian must veer awant of faith in his own strength—he must have a deep, abiding, trustful faith in God, and he must con- feas that faith before men, and make use of all the means of grace, which God has commanded. And he must fight not one battle only—but hia whole life must be » warfare—which cam never cease uutil the hour of death. It is not one act of faith, but a habit of faith chat will finally give salvation to man’s soul-—We are required to be faithful unto death. An act of faith may do fora miracle. A habit of faith only can make a man a cbristian—It ia therefore runing a very great risk for people to put off religion until the latter part of ther life. A habit of any kimd is desperately hard to change. We ought therefore never to fall into a habit of sin. St. Joux’s Lutrueran CuHurcH, the pastor preached from the Gospel of the day— Luke v. 1—11. The miraculous draught of fishes.’ Thetheme deduced from it .was the strict observance of religious duties never im- poverished any one even ina worldly point of view. When Christ asked the Joan of Peter’s boat, and begged him to thrust a little from the shore so that He might address the multitudes the better, He at once after he had finished speaking repaid Peter for his fidelity by return- ing to him his boat not empty, but filled with fishes to overflowing. Thus Christ ever repays when sacrafices are made for His cause—He returna what we give with augmented interest that like Peter and his comrades, we are as tonished beyond measure. Do what the Saviour bids, and His blessing will rest upon the labor of vour hands in this world, ard the world to come He will grant you life everlasting through His merits.

After Prof. Chas. Phillips had offered prayer, Bishop Atkiuson arose, and every eye was myeted on his commanding forin as Le stood before that assembly, aud every car was attentive as the “mellow words with wisdum weighed,” proelaimed their origin from a master inind. He showed the influence ofa few over the many—that public opinion was aluost in- variably the after development of a giant in- tellect, influencing the miuds of less caliber. His picture of Voltaire’s influence was clear, and showed hiin in an unprejudiced light. He told his audience who the truly great are —great iu literature, scholarship, statesman- ship. Forimore than au hour the address coutinued, and was appreciated. The only objection was that the crowd was so sinall. In the afternoon, Rev. J. Runipla of Salis- bury delivered the address before the Aluim- ni. He was minute in his showing up the Darwiuiau theory. ’Tis very presuinab’e that no one, after hearing him, thought him-. selfa discendant of Darwiu's monkeys. Mr. Ruwple also wld of the different classes’ of pseudu-science that would require analysis at the hands of thinking men. The audience on that oeeasiun, too, was very meagre. owing to sone misunderstanding about the trains. In the evening, the Representatives of the Philanthropie and Eumeneaa Sutieties,. de-. livered their addresses with credit, and were applauded and bouqueted.

Godfrey, of New Hampsbire Falls, who has gone to Cali- fornia to locate wel':, never fails in his “manifestations” as to where water can be found. He works thus: With nothing in his hands he walks over the ground autil the water, if any exist, is approach. ed, when he is affected with a nervous twitching in the limba, which increases as the water is reared, he all the time acting very wnch like a person with the bars of a magnetic battery in bis hands, and following the course of the spring or stream, whichever way it may lead, re- gardless of walls, fences or other obatas cles: and seeu.i gto be controlled and directed by some power which he ia una- tl: to resist. Capt. Godfrey claims no sup rnatural power in the accomplishment of his work, but declares it simply a sen- sitive organism or powerful current of electricity in Limeelt, 80 powerful as to attract him irresitably ta living streams and minute deposits beneath the surface. During the late war he located all the we'ls for the us2 of the army unde: Gen. Howard's command, One of the Issues.

But with physicians they exclude also all medicines. ‘I'beir doctrine is that when the Lord: will. heal He will heal, and that when He wiil alay He will slay, and they hold it impious to interfere with His deerees otherwise than by prayer. “Now let Professor Tyndall insist upon baving a regular monthly pital of the “Peculiar People” with those from any ordinary hospital.

There was little business, as I said, going over the lines from Jones’ Station to Nin- eveb, and as the operator at the last named lace seemed likewise to have unlimited ae on hand, the two held frequent electrical tete~a~tetes, and Pearl began to feel as if ake had known Lucy Lorillard from infancy—as it they had gone to seboo! arm io arm, and learned their les~ gons from the same book.

She could never exactly tell !.ow it came abont, but grad- ually, from exobanging pretly civilities and pleasaniries and the newa of the day across the wires, she found herself pres- ently telling this Lucy Lorillard, upon whom she had 1ever set eyes, almoet ever thir g she knew and felt and suffered or enjoyed, and receiving experiences and confidences and words of comfort in retarn from said Lucy Lorillard. Noth- ing was too trivial and nothing too great for the two to discuss across the lines be- tween Jones’ Station and Nineveb. Semetimes they conversed in a_ novel manner about tbe books they had read, and the journeys they would take when their ships came in ; about the music they thirsted to hear; about now and _ hereaf- ter. ‘It strack me oddly the other day,’ tel- egraphed Pearl, that [ had never beard your voice.

Every step upon the stairs sent a quickened palsation through her being; yet she was already abeor ed in her reveries when the office door swung open and admitted a dark-browed woman. In an instant the color flamed and flick- ered in Pearl’s cheeks, her eyes dilated, her handa trembled; bat the dark browed lady calmly wrote a message, and made way for the gentleman who had entered behind her—a somewhat short and thick~ ly built man, with large gray eyes and curling blonde hair and mustache, whom Pearl instanly recognized as Squire Gable’s nephew.

He then twisted way. There be attempted to throw her Mrs. West struggled with the burglar for a moment and then the burglar ran down the stairs dragging Mrs. West after bim, her back striking on every step. At the foot of the stairs, ber strength failin under the excitement, Mrs. West released her hold just enough to enable the bar~ glar to withdraw his hands with a roll of greeubacks clinched iu it. He then open- ed the front door and fled, leaviog Mrs. West lying on the floor slightly moaning. Mr. West, hearing the moans, supposed that bis wite had fainted in the front chamber. He jumped out of the bath tub and ran into the room. Not finding her there he searched the other rooms, and at length found her lying at the foot of the staircase, still clasping the pantaloons. The inmates of the fieuee were aroused, and on her restoraticu to consciousness she related her struggle with the desperado. How the burglar entered the house isa mystery.—New York Sun, June 28. — The Temple of Diana. Ephesus, one of the twelve Indian cities of Asia Minor, was famous in antiquity as containing one of the seven wonders of the world, the great temple of Artemis, or Diana. From very early times Ephesus was @ sacred city ; the Amazons, and the Amazonian legend is connected with Artemis. The first Indian colonists in Lydia found the worsbip of the goddess established here in a primitive temple, which was soon supereeded by a magnuifi- cent structure. This Grecian temple was seven times restored at the expense of the Greek communities in Asia Mioor. In the year 356 B. O. it was barved to the ground, bat agaio rebailt iu a style ot fur greater splendor than before, the work extending over 200 years.

Some of the gentlemen in one of the principal social clubs in this city bave organized a pool selling meeting on political candidates for once a week until the Presidential nominees take place. I was present at the last meeting, and it will be seen from the betting how these people look at the chances of many politi- cal candidates. For the Republican Presidential nomivations the following names are entered: Grant, Blaine, Wash- burne, Wilson, Bristow, Butler, Jewel, Conkling, Logan, Morton, Fish, Judge Miller, Hawley and Gov. Noyes. Fifty- four pools have been sold up to date with the following result: Seventeen, in which Blaine is selected as first choice; thirteen, in which Wasb- burne is first ; ten, in which Bristow comes to the front ; five, in which Morton leads off ; three, where Grant has the call; the gawoe number in which Wileon wae first, aud three in which Logan is the loader. The others are all bunched in the field. It will be seen by this that Blaine, Wash- burne and Bristow are the favorites, and that there are still some who believe in a third term. It is said that Col. Brocks, the editor of Grant's organ, holds the three Grant pools, and is also in many of the others, with Grant as second or third choice. On the Democratic prospects the fol- lowing eutries are made: Hendricke, Judge Davis, Tilden, Thurman, Old Bill Allen, Bayaid, Seymour, Chureh Governor Gas- ton, Charles Francis Adams and Pendle- ton.

From the Graphic. SHANKLIN,Asle of Wight, Jane 10 — After several days’ energetic sight-seeing in very hot weather, we packed our vali ses and stole away to the Isle of Wight, by way ef Brighton, where we stopped over for three hours to see the aquarium. You descend a series of elegant terraces, and find yourself apparently at the bet- tom of the sea. Cool, arched, grotto like halle extend in every direction, ending in ferueries bright with falling waters, while along the sides of the long afcades, only a crystal wall separates you from the wa- tery homes of fishes, eels, and all the innumerable finny and funny inhabitants of the deep. You look up through the green water as if you were a fish yapr- self, and know for the first time how it feela to be at the bottom of the sea.; Great, solemn, aldermanic-looking cod-~ whiting swim up and stare into your very eyes; enormous conger eels writhe play-~ fully around your head; idiotic-looking dogfish lie piled on one another, and blink placidly into your face like so many sheep, while the skates and the stingrays are flattened out in panting flacidity upon the gravel at the bottom. Little silver herring and golden hued young salmon drift about like clouds lit by the moon, and on all sides, against the rocks that vary the eurface of the tanks, wave the exquisite fringes of the sea-anemone. Here above all, is the supreme beauty of the water-world. Every variety of fiiuge and flower-cap is mimicked here in hues that fairly rival the roses of the garden. Paorest white, soft, creamy yellows, rich salmon color, every shade of teuder rose and glowiug red and royal purple and vivid green spring frem these rocks a living flower, with petals as delicate as they are deadly. For these beautiful fringes and etheral- looking bubbles of color ere so many murdeous arms outstretched for food. As we watch them swaying gently-in the current, a poor little transparent sbrimp comes paddling swiftly by. He touches a rose colored petal, it flashes round him, he is sucked into the gorgeous heart of the flower, and it closes coutentedly over bis vauiehed form. They knew their dan- ger generally, these poor little creatures, and did they touch every so lightly the tip of a floating fringe, would spring away from it with an electrical recoil. It is a very interesting thing te spend a few hours at the bottom of the sea to see the soecents woe pasains from ei or reen e sleeping peacefully jast below the earface of the water; to watch the hermit crabs scatting, busily about, each in his étolen sbell; and to study the manners of the tip-toeing cray fish and the anboiled lobster. are curions fresh-water fish bere, too, in large globes. Among others the Mexican azo~ tis, most melancholy of fish, draped in inky hues, black as a herse and feathers, with plumy turfs waying ail abont their disconsolate heads.

We notice that a similar resolation was pass- ed by the Couvention of Riehmpnd coun- ty: The object of these resolutions is to validate an noaathorized act of the Legis- lature, to give force and authority to what is universally regarded as a usurpation of power, These resolutions ask the people to Bind themselves in advance,—to fore- swear their delegates to sacrifice their manhood and compromise their sovereign character in order thata precedent may be set in the State for timidity and usur- petion of power. When the people elect delegates to the Convention, they invest them with the highest sovereign pawers, and every delegate who shall take and subscribe the illegal and unconstitutional oath, prescribed by the legislature will divest himself of his sovereign character aud become the mere tool of an unwar- ranted legislative act. ‘l'o take the oath to bring ridieule upon bis exposures. of fraud.

But this bas been the case ever since thut Court has been established under the present Yankee, bayonet en forced constitution. ‘his intamous doc- ument bas been the mere foot-ball of the Supreme Court.

The story bas w -moraj that may be of ase w those who believe the ple are opposed 'v a Convention, and to ibem we commend it. ig to surrender not only the antrammeled powerg yecessarily pertaining ta the char acter of a delegate of the sovereign people, bus to assume the role of a mere executive agent of a defanct legislature. Instead af proceeding to exercise the high powere with which be is clothed, the delegate who stoops to take this degrading oath, which also binds him to observe the equally illegal and infamous reatrictione, solemnly sweara ta place bimeelf even beneath the dignity af a cammon legislas tor. For he agrees that the bady to which he belongs is net equal in power to the one that pregcribed ‘the oath for bim, and therefore he will obey the edicts of the oath prescribing body. Were we elected a delegate ta the Convention, we would be excommunicated before we would take such an oath. Will any mao of character do it? eed Mr. Beecher’s Temporary Es- cape by Disagreement. - The disagreement of the jury in the BEECHER case is a conclusion which was almost inevita- ble from the start of the trial. It was simply impossible to convict the Plymouth pastor in Brooklyn. The issue might have been doubt- ful anywhere else, but there, under the shadow ofthe great church, it wasnotat all doubtful that no jury could be got to unanimously bring him in guilty of the offenses alleged against him. The long-continued effort to furce an agreement was unprecedented. If it had succeeded simply by tiring out the dissenting jurymen it would have had no moral value. The disagreement substantially proclaims that a man who go conducted himself under a charge of base practices as Beecher did fer four years, and who made sa poor a defence on the trial, doserves sat least ta be attained with strong suspicion of guilt. On whatever theory you explain his cowardice and deceit, the result is fatal to his integrity as a man and destructive of his power asa minister. Not the least of manifold offences is‘ his bearing and conduct since the figiit between him and Tilton came to an issue. He played the buffoon, resorted to theatrical tricks to exhibit indifference, joked and jested, laughed and parried words as if it was a mock trial and he a clown undergoing circys justice in the presence of a flippant crowd, From these things alone Mr. Beecher’s character as a man of dignity and a serious and conscientious minister has received a fatal blow. Guilty or innocent, the mere fact he was on trial in the most notorious case ever brought before the American people, would have saddened, sobered, and tempered almost any other man, assuredly any other minister. The charge of adultery against him was the worst that can be brought against a preacher. What more damning offence could be alleged against ae than that by vile arts he had debauched the wife of his young disciple, her- self a child of his flo¢k, and he, the seducer, a man old and gray-headed, one who made the burden of his sermons Christian manhood, and held »p as the exemplar of human conduct the spotless CHRIST ! It.is ground. for encouragement that Beecher, Lon a defence so flimey as his, was not able to get such formal vindication as a jury verdict in his favor would have given him, The ovation he would have received from his deluded fol- lowers would have been nauseating to just and sensible men. In the end it would have reacted agaiast its hero; but its occurrence would have been an insult to truth and an outrage to reli- ion, : Though the case against Beecher was only partially developed in court ander the ies tions of the law, yet enough was brought ont, and the deferice was, tosay the least, sufficiently unsatisfactory to make his acquittal impossible with men appreciating the value of evidence, In‘ trath, his only real defence was his own de nial of guilt. The theory .of conspiracy and thé faet of black-mail were withdrawn by Beecher himself, and were put out of the case by Judge Neilson ; and thus the issue was between Mr. Tilton, Mr. and Mrs. Moulton, Mr. Beech- er’s own letters, and his extraordinary.cenduct, * ao ose oii and 08 the other the defendant’s ials of guilt or of any impropriety whatever resentet te his qranialte Taltmont on ‘the Witness stand. Could he expect a verdict ofa jary or the public in his favor with the balance so'strong against him ? He has rather reason to:thank his good fortune that the jury in view of his reputation, and the glamour of his pro- fession, and power of his influential church, has not judged him as an ordinary man. The miscarrisge of this trial will probably stave off, if not totally prevent, any judicial- settlement ef the case. Bytcan Mr. her continue to preach, and write the “Christ ? That he will have the assurance to make the attempt, be has already declared with bragen defiance of public sentiment. His charel will, of course, sustain him for a while, if not to theend. But the Christian econseience, the moral feeling, the opinion and sense of propriety of good men, will assurdedly be against him, _ The foundato n of- Christianity is in the ideal purity of the life and doctrines of Jxsus Crist. Infidelity has never been able to as- sail that. Jt appeals to the cold intellect of the skeptic.as well aa to the enthusiasm of the de- vout believer in the -eaving efficacy of the ee This here hameoe er of Christiani- ty, provoking to aspirations for heavenly purit of conduct and motive, ia the glory of Cunrer’s religion, and makes it firet smong the faiths which have met the needs and tons of men since first the dependence of man on a di- vine power was recognized by huntanity, The priest and teacher# of Christian doctrine are'therefore rightly held to the strictest ac- t as. to the character, Even in those churches where the title to priestly functions is ordination and apostolic snecersion, the priest’s cleanness of character has had to be maintains ed inal ages. Even im the worst days of the Church, the really devout fought against im- morality of life as fatal to ministerial infinence and disgraceful to the church. In a charch like the Congregational, charaeter is the first and practically the only title to instruct from the pulpit. The mivister holds his office by reason of gifts of preaching and 3 life}that en- }ment.’ forces by ite integrity and sonndnese the lessons he offers to his brethren. Suspicion even dereliction shatters: his influence. His voice is no more thau.a sounding brass and tinkling versation and life of morality and consistent religious order. . Mr. Beecher mounts the pulpit after this distrusted by a majority of his countrymen, not having been able, after his best efforts during a Jong investigation and with the aid of able counsel, dexterous attorneys, and vast money re- sources, to clear his character from reproach. In fact, the doubts which encompassed him are began. His own ¢worn testimoney did not carry conviction. His light behavior under legal scrutiny wakened disgust. His proved cowardice and deceit long ago pulled-him down from. his lofty pillar of -inffuence. Hia method af meeting the assult of Tilton ky personal abuse of his accuser, of unprecedented | virulence, shocked the Christian sense of the community. Yet he asaays to preach jo men about manli- ness, charity, trnth, honesty, spotless Christian- ity, and an exalted morality !

A quick and cheap plan is to sow the land in oats as early as you can in the Spring; as soon aa ripe plow under, keep off all atock, and you will have a tremendons fall growth of oate; plow them under in Octo~ ber, or, if South, the first of November, then eow rye, graze in the Spring and feed down ; when ripe plow under, and you will sce one of the finest rye ficlds you ever saw ; orif you wish, sow clover on the rye the first Spring ; it is very cff-e- taal and cheap. I saw the above tried in Tennessee when I was a boy; the land was so worn out that the oats did not ex- ceed knee high ;-they were plowed under ripe audagaio in November. The lard was planted in carn the next year and made a large yield ; it was before the days of clover. I have tried it repeatedly since with good success.” [This has been tried here years ago with the best resulte. } -———-—--_—_—_ Ustry Law.—The Ring papers are full of plaintive-stortes ef the rain wrought by the Usury,law.

This step is caused by the recent burning of the Rowan Mills, and Rowan Handle Worka, which Mr. Emmert had been running very suceessfully. Mr. E, is not only a thorough going business man, but s perfect gentleman as well, and carries with | him the universal respect and earty fond wishes of our people. Lockjaw :—Capt. Jno. Ramsey, had a valu- able horse attacked with this dangerous affection some time since, and as he succeeded in treating it successfully, our readers would do well to makea noteofthecase. The treatmént is simply this :—A strong blow with a hammer was struck in the centre of the animal’s forehead, first, placing a plank over the forehead, which knocked him down, and at once relaxed the rigidity of the muscles. A vurgative dose of pul- yerized Aloes was then administered, (eix dramchs) and the horse perfevtly recoved. — Among the speakers at the County Conven- tion on Saturday last, was Prof. Abner W. Owen whose happy effort is worthy of special notice. Prof. Owen has a styie of his own, which is at once unjque, original, entertaining and inimita- ble. He proved h'mself equally at home amid the flowers of poesy, the figures of rhetoric, and. the sterner facta of history, and although called up unexpectedly anf speaking ander disadvan- tages he showed himself every inch an orator, and held the audience spell-Lound to the close. “Free from the doting scruples that fetter our free- born reason.” The above is the motto of the man that writes Centennial articles for the Char- lotte Observer, and threatens to burn down his office because the Watchman is a bet~ ter paper than the Observer. Poor fellow if he would just “‘free”’ his office of him- self, the Observer would improve. ( A club of young gentlemen of this city will make a tour of the mountains of this State in a short time. The Officers of the expedition are, Capt. E B Neave, Treasurer; JS McCubbins, Jr, Commissary ; ; C R Barker, Master of Transportation; WH Overman, Forage Mas- ter; JiA Brown, Register; H M Jones, Wagon Master; E P Brown, Surgeon; Dr J F Griffith, Orderly. Sergeant; Frank Young & J H Heilig, Canyassmen. We-hope they.may havea good time, and return to their homessafe and sound. The editor and proprietor of the Charlotte Observer is evidently inja bad way. We have so completely befogged ‘and worried him on the Centennial question, that he is now talking about burning up his office. We. don’t want him to do that. The loss of his services to the State and the Centennial cause would be irre- paitable. No, don’t do that, Jones. We are not angry with you. We were only poking fan at your eccentricities. We are going down to Charlotte soon, and we will take you out t ride. We have already engaged the team from your enterprising liveryman, Mr J. Ww. Wardsworth. He says we shall have the best turn out in the State. Won’t you ride with us, Jones, and give over that idea of burning up your office?

Wm. Murdoch and 8. H. Wiley are vigorously engaged in the improvement of a largé tract (nearly 500 acres) of the Macay lands, 27 miles West of this place, and South of Sherrill’s Ford road. They have 100 or more acres of branch bottom, about 50 acres of which was formerly used as a mead- ow,{but during the war and since, went to bush and weeds, The present proprietors are there- fore doing @ work, of redemption as to this part; and as to the ‘other, gubjugation of original growth. They have already cut miles of ditchee and drains, and the work still goes on, The aim, we understand, is to establish thorotigh drainage, and then by cultivation, bring the whole in condition for Timothy and Herds grass.

Washington Corrpspondence of the Pittsburg BO Commercial. A few days ago an advertisement pub- lisbed jo one of the newspapers of the espital, annoaneed the sale of a large aggortment of fgrniture and articles of vista. Such gales are frequent jn Wash- ington, and are the natural wences to the transitory conditions which enter into the lives of the majority of its residents. For a few years there, or frequently for bat a few brief months, some vffjce-holder, auxious to imitate gome ane above or some upstart individual possessed of sudden meang, will rise into notoriety gn account of the show of his establishments. The digappearanpe of such o ject of prominence elicits no thought, for this ort of mushroom growth thrives io ashington sogial atinostphere, But con- nected with the particular case referred ta there is a sad higtory, All the parties were prominent, and could trace their parentage back a gener ation or two without coming in contact with one of the Darwinian progenitors of the human family. About six years ago Maryland lett a Senator here—a man of qaiet demeanor and one who in his own State was foremost in family connections and afluence. He brought with him to the nation’s capital, among others of his family, a beautiful daughter. At the same time there figured in Washington society a youug man of fine presence, of cultivated manners, every manly accom- plishment, and jnhgrited opulence, He was one of a family conspicious in Wash- ington politics. His father was the co- temporary and triend of the great spirits who figured in the government more than a quarter of a century ago, and the mag- nificence of hig entertainments still forms the most attractive and romantic page iu the history of society atthe papital. The father died, and about tour years ago the son hecame enamored of the daughter of the Maryland Senator. The acqaiutance eoan ripened into affection. Every seatiment of devotion and duty awakened in the hogom of this chivalric youth. The richest produgts of art in costly jewels was bestowed upon the object of his heart’s desire. Such a fever heat of love soun ripened into a union. The vuptials were to be celebrated at the family of the betrothed, on the shores of the Chesapeak. The day arrived. In front of the capital lay a steamer, profuse- ly decorated with flags of all nations. A band of tyusic sat-epen-the deck, discours- eet strains. At an early hour the groom attended by a large retinue of friende, young. bloods of the city, embark- ed upon the steamer, and was soou puss~ ing down the broad waters of the Pvtos mac. Upon approaching the home of the betrothed, which looked out upon the placid waters of the bay, salutes were fired, flags waved, and swelliog sounds of music carried upon the geutle air anuoun- ced the coming of the groom. ‘The iu- habitants of the surrounding country had gathered ou the shore. The groom with his princely retinue, music, and flying colors, marched to the mansion, followed by hundreds of the inhabitants. A South- ern welcome greeted all. After the uec- essary offices of respect and hospitality had passed, preparations were made tor the nuptial ceremouy. ‘I'he relatives aud frieuds from tar and near, clergymen, beantiful women with rich totlets, and courtly gentlemen, assembled in the main hall ot the mansion. ‘lhe formulas ot religion and goud morals were consuma ted, and two loving bearts made one. The crowning eveut of the occasion was followed by music and danciug, salutes, fireworke, and general revelry. ‘The scene at this time is represeuted by an eye-witness to have been suggestive ot the court of an Oriental poteutate. ‘The bride and the groom now left these scenes of mirth to enjoy the fruits of love and a protracted boneymoou amid the uew aud classic surroundings of the Old World. ‘lhere they traveled in state. ‘They were surrounded by courtiers, aud one handred lackeys and servauts did their bidding. Hrequently the groom and his courtiers were mistaken for a royal party and were tendered unusual honors. Lhe appetite of love sharpened by such an air of romance prompted a conespuu! ding liberality. ‘here was no wish which the groom was nat ready to obey. Kight- een handred gollar music boxes, four preety dollar clogks. elegant carriages, looded horses gud livered attendants, silks and velvetg frog the looms of France, gems of arts from Jtaly, and the special. ties of every principaljty and power in Europe were thrown at the feet of the Maryland bribe. ‘J‘ne attractions of the capitals of the Old World exhausted, back to the capjtal of their own land sped the young couple. Here they continued this same sumptous style of hving. ‘Their residence was of the finest in the city, and the entertaiumepts given there were uuris valed. But shree years bave elapsed since the neptial festa OF the oe of the Chesapeake, he wea of Egypt's Khedive would hardly have per Artal such & round pf extrayagance. The cry of the credjtor wag sqon heard at the door. The young groom was soon breught to a realizing senge of hia folly. He accueed his bride of various excesses and indiscre- tiona, The greenreyed monster, jealonay, added its scorpion ating ‘to ‘tlie yourg man’s anguish. The fall was as rapid and no less marked than the assent. A few months of domestic iufecility, a few weeks of despair, and but a siogle instant of action ended the career of the groom and blasted for ever the hopes of the bride. “ ‘A eorpse and an empty vial told the tale‘of the hero of this sad reality. The heroine, now sheltered beneath the paternal roof, doubtJess often looke out upon the ripliog waves of the Chesapeake to see in their bright surface a reflection of the happy acenes of her nuptial day. The hammer of the auctioneer. was the last requiem of this blighted bome and the demolished househeld.

THE WAKE WIFE MURDER. Particulars of a Horrible Affair—A Brute Chops Up His Young Wife and Her Infant and Buries their Remains in @ Swamp. Mrs. Partin, of Panther Blanch town- rahip, Wake connty, in last February was murdered by her husband, Seott Partin. The body was cnt up and hiddeu in a marsh, where it was found last Saturday. abe marderer is still at large. The Ral- eigh News described the murderer and gives the particulars of the discovery : Alfriend Winfield Partin, Jr., common- ly known as Scott Partin is ason of A. W. Partin, Sr’, of Panther Branch town- ship, is aged about 27 years, weighs aboat 135 pounds, is some five feet ten inches high, bas one eye a little squinted, one front tooth plugged with gold, two of his teeth pressing ‘ogether in front, has dark blue eyes, dark hair, a high crooked Ro- man nose, walks a little parrot-toed, has a downcast expression but is quick in conversation. Some time in’ 1872 he married the daughter of Henderson Wal-~ ton, of Buckhorn township, by whom he hada child that was some eight months old in February last. For some time prior to February he had been working for George P. Partin, who had employed quite a number of bands. for different kinds of work, and his wife had beea staying a portion of winter at his brother George's but in February was staying at his father's. | ‘THE MURDER. On the 12th of Febrarry last Scott Partin, in eompaoy with his ae aod child, left pings r's- house a euneet, (aan beidg id one at-home at. the time but. his nrother,) eaying suat he was -go- ing that night te tha residenge. of a cousin | pome three miles “distant. -This - is" the SALISBURY N.C. JULY, 16,1 |e gl Sn a until Tuesday after the election to make | cent for each name copied from the orig- | try or copy with intent to commit a fraud, : developed, the fied curried hit wife into \ swamp, throogh whieh he’had'to pasa, not more than three husdred*‘ffom. his father's residence, and there brutally murdered them, choppisg them*fpto pie- cer and burying them ia the méigh. He then went back to his mothér'y @bout one o’clotk at night and asked fo saying that he bad made bi to go away and he would proceed ‘night to carry his wife “down tls try.” As has since been ascertamn was seen in the neighborhood fous days afterwards, when he diga from sight.—Gradually the susp aroused that there had been. sq play or that all was not right, & abortly afterwards to see their* daughter, bat were told the couple had moyed away and were shown a letter from Scott Par- tin, purporting to be from Goldsboro, and stating that his wife and ehild were doing well. This did not satisfy Mr. Walton, and he at once commenced an inquiry as to the whereabouts of his daughter. Since that time Scott Partin has been seen in the neighborhood several times, and when told by an Aunt that he was suspected of killiog bis wife and child be became alarmed and agaio disappeared. The efforts of Mr. Walton to find his daughter proved fruitless, and some ten days ago the hitherto peaceful community became aroused to a sense of the fact that a foul deed had been committed in their midst, and they determined to ferret the matter out. THE FINDING OF THE BODIES The citizens.of Panther Branch Town- ship, aided by a large number of persone from Jolnson county, (the scene of the murder is immediately upon the Johnston county line), last week organized theme selves for a thorough search for the mur- dered woman and child, and on Saturday morniug last some 75 men started out to scour the country thoroughly. They formed a line on foot, the men some four steps apart, determined to leaye no spot of ground in the whole neighborhood un- searcbed, and continued iu this manner 1 until one o’clock, at which time, the line had breasted the large swamp or marsh some 300 yards from the eouidenes of A. W. Partin, Sr., and immediately on the line of Johuston and Wake counties, every hole, log and euspicions place baving been examined thoroughly. A portion of the line came toa hole of mud and water some eight feet in disineter and about the same length, in a thick body of under- growth and orly some 40 yards removed | from a patb through the swamp, in which | was a dead cow, the property of Mr. Bry- / ant Smith, of that neighborhood, which | has been dead for some days and which | had attracted the presence of some buz- ‘zards. An examination of this hole was made, notwithstanding the presence of the cow theiriny and it was found to be of considerable depth, though it was of a | muddy character. Oue of the party using an iron rake soon brought to the surface a piece of flesh that resembled that of a ‘human being, aud soon a bag was drag- ged out—enough to convince the party that they had found what they were searching for—and yiece by piece the body of Scott Partin’s witeand child weie pulled out of this watery grave to which they had been consigned at the bands of him whose duty it ehould have been to protect them. The murdered woman had been literally CUT TO PIECES. Her head had been cut from her shoul- ders, ber nose and her upper lip cut from her face, her body literally quartered, one of her breasta cut off, hér arms cut off at the elbows, and the remaiuving por~ tions of her persone treated in a similar manner. The infant bad been served pretty much the same way. Appearances indicated that the fiend had attempt~ ed first to burn the bodies, the head par~ ticularly bore evidence of such an intens tion, but doubtless finding the process too ‘plow, he resorted to the plan of barying | bis family in a guano bag in the morass , in which it was found on Saturday. The whole community, at the finding, of this outrage upon every feeling of bumanity, became a THOROUGHLY ENRAGED, acd had Scott Partin then been within the power of those people, be would have shared no milder a fate thau his wife and child. — Suspicion had been aroused against his father and brothers as having been acces~ sories after the fact, and they were accor- dingly arrested Saturday afternoon upon their return from Raleigh, where they had been before the Grand Jury testifying concerning this case. After examination they were discharged,. there being no evidence connecting them with the trage- dy. pe Dimz Nove, Reapine.—The Balti- more Sun, alluding to the effort that is being made in Boston to have the sen~ tence of the budy-murderer Pomeroy changed to imprisonment for life in the Penitentiary, says : “Some of the fantastical advocates of this interesting youth allege that Bis brain bas been turned by reading dime novels and yellow-covered literature. When a crime is committed under the influence of strong drink the law does not miti the offdnse, although temporary insapity is often produced by that cause. Neither should getting insane on te weak decoc- tion.of dime novels, be regarded as much ofan extenuation. Indeed, in view of hthe, deleterious influences ot such trash, it might be as well to hang such of the dime novel victims as are led by:them to. laws| Jast.time hie wifé ‘ahd child were ever seep alive, and a9 late discoveries bave less acts, as a warsing against yellow- govered literature,” THE HOMESTEAD LAW, Is{ ; ITIN DANGER. °° a} tigate | pidly swell | The restriction plainly wittea in the very act calling the Convention, forbid» | ding that body to interfere with the Home-’ stead clause of the Constitution is amply sufficient to satisfy any. sane man that it ig in nodanger. But even if there was not such restriction upon the Convention, it would need bat a moment’s thonght to be assured that the Homestead: was; safe ino the hands of a Democratic Convention, for the simple reason that the vast majority of the people interested jn preservi Homesteads uutouched is to be found in the ranks of the Democratic In. deed as a party the Radical party has |’ comparatively but little interest. in any law lookiug to the security of the Home- _ Bat we find out views upon this ques tion 80 well stated by cut esteemed co- temporary the Piedmont Press that we transfer the entire article to our column. The Press suys : The Republican party of this State polls some 90,000 votes, of which 75,000 are negro votes, there being only about 15,000 white Republican voters, or about one sixth of the strength of that party in North Carolina. = Everybody who knows anything about negroes knows also that not one handred of those 75,000 have acquired any interest in the Homestead since the law was made and not more than one 500, in or we may say a 1,000, had a Homestead at the time it was made a part of our Constitution. The per cent among the white Republi- cans interested in this clause, of course, is some greater, though it is well known that they have paid more attention to the form- ing of rings and defrauding the Treasuary than to the purchase of Homesteads. A liberal estimate we think will admit that about one-tenth, 9,000 of the Republican voters in the State, are by some hook or crook the ostensible owners, or bulders of Homesteads, and specially interested in their preservation. Of tbe 100,000 Democratic voters in the State it is reasonable to calculate that three. fonrths 75,000 are owners of Home- steads, and that being about all that the war, and the high taxes, brought about by Raidical mismanagement has left them, they are therefore doubly interested in the preservation of that saving clause of the Constitution. J.eaving off all otber motives which Democrats generally.pos- sess, and basing our calculations solely upon self interest which is surely the very strongest argument with Radicals, we conclade that the Democratie party are eight times more iuterested in preserving the Homestead laws than the Republican party, aud that eaid law is ¢en times cafer in the hands of Democrats than of the Republicans. A Democratic Legislature has said these claases shall not be disturbs ed. ‘I'.e Demoeratic Executive Commit- tee have committed the party to their preservation, and no one wants them rea pealed. The Radical party kuows that there is no intention of doing it, and only keeps up the false ery in hopes of scaring some poor Homesteader away from his real friends, the Democratic party. Don’t you listen to it—It is all a lie, told for a lie, and known so to be when told.— Wilmington Journal. General Canby’s Bayonet Elec- tion Order. As we are now on the eve of refuting the present bastard Constitution of North Carolina, a synopsis of Gen. Canby’s bayonet Order regulating the election, may not be out of place at the present time. A synopsis is all that our present space will afford. Ihe Oder is dated at Charleston, South Carolina, and embraced the following points : 1. The election to be held three days, the 2let, 22nd and 23rd, of April, 1868. Only registered voters to vote “For” or “Against” the Constitation, and on the same ballot for State and County officers and for members of Congress. [A three days election. | 2. The Board of Registration (all mili- ary appointees) to revise the registration ists and to strike from the lists all who are known to be distranchised, and to add the names of such voters as are qualified. [ Under this clause fully 30,000 of our best citizens were declared disfranchised, and deprived of their vote. | 4. Ten days residence in a county ons titled every ‘“‘traly loyal” to a vote. 5. Elections to be held by military ap- pointees. 13. Retarns to be made to the District Military Commander, through the several Military Post Commanders. This, fellow readers, ig a synopsis of a few points in Canby’s Military Order for holding the elections said to have ratified the present Constitution. Is it not time that the people of North Carolina refute that infamous document, and make a Constitution better adapted to their wants and condition ? : a Bite of the Rattlesnake.

A eorrespondent of “Colmon’s Rearal World” adyises:conntfy boys to stick to the farm by all means, assuring them that there ig twice the independence in farming that there is in any other trade or profession. ‘Don’t believe, he ‘says, be- cause you go to town or the city and see boys than you, with faces whiter and emoother than yours, that they are better off. Farmers’ bays have more true pleasure, asa rule, than town boys. Yoa may have to work hard, but so you woald if you were a city clerk; there is no easy place, to a boy or man who ex~ pects, or have the ambition, to make a mark in the world. Again, do not imegine, because town boys smoke or chew tobacco, that it is tnanly, for it is hot ; it is alow filthy he- eondema—and even men who have fol- lowed the habit for years, will tell. you they would quit it if they could. Boys sometimes imagine that it they could aa learnto smoke or chew, they would be men immediately; bat bow sick they must first make themselves in order to become slaves to a dirty, filthy habit. It is more manly and honorable to be able to eay, “I never had a chew of tobacco in my mouth nor a pipe or cigar between my teeth ;”’ the same in teference to drink- ing jotoxicating liguars of all kinds. Farmers’ boys, if you wogld be, men, let such things alone. Fine clothes and a cigar or a glass of liquour, do not make the man, for the veriest villain on earth may have them ; but he cannot have fao- tegrity and honesty, which in maoy cases is found in the meanest rags. Be men and true at that ; but to be sach you need never have to be seen in a saloon, nor need you emoke or chew tobacco. ~~ Girls Don't do It. renee meee “Don’t do what 2” our fair young read- ers will ask. There are a great many things that you ought tu do, and a still larger number that you had better not do. Foremost and prominent among the lat- ter is to andertake to reform a drunkard by marrying him. ‘Depend upon it, if you cannot keep him sober during those days of the average womany’s strongest influence over wayward man the season of courtship, the chances will be decided- ly against success. Some women have succeeded in this labor oflove, but there are ten thousand failures to one success. It is a field of missionary labor that bat few of the sex are fitted toenter. If John gets drank ovce a month whilst he is bils ling and cooing, depend upon it that he will require semi monthly seasons of Baccohanalian recreation when he becomes a benedict. A man who gets drunk is necessarily a bad or foolish man when he is under the influence of liquor, and is very apt to soon become a bad man wheth- er drunk or sover. ‘The romantic idea that a woman who can reform a drankard is deserving of a crown of glory is all the veriest bosh. ‘T’hey would be shocked by the suggestion that the man who marries a fallen woman and restores her to a life of virtue would be deserving of the praise of men and the thanks of all womanhood. The latter would be a much easier task than the former, and more likely to suc- ceed. The debasement in one case is generally incurable, scorns the influence of kindness and affection, whilst in the other the opportunity to escape from a life of degradation would in most cases in- sure a hearty co-operation with the mia- sionary iu such a field. But the drankard, as is generally the case, may be addicted to a variety of other vices each one of which ought to be coasidered as repulsive as that of deinking. Still, we find pure, virtuous, refined and delicate women risk- ing their lives and happiness in the de- lusive hope of rescuing and restoring them. Instances of terrible failures io this missionary field are to be found in every street and lane of a great city, with the accompaniment of scorces of the deso- late widows and orpbans of those who have staggered into drundard’s graves. Still, the experiment is continued by new votaries, who think that they can succeed where others have failed. It is a terrible delusion. Love and devotion are powers less on a drankard. Nothing but an iron will and a firmuess that few women pos. sess can check the career of a man who hes ounce taken to strong drink. He must become subject to ber will, aud restrained from his evil courses by a power stronger than love and kindness. There gre e- nough men who become drankard’s after marriage for all reasonable purposes of ex- periment, without taking them fully train~ ed in career’ of vice and debauchery. Therefore, we say, “Girl, don’t do it !"— Bulto American. KILLED AT LAST. One of the most remarkable cases of the preservation of life ander continua! disaster, is that of George Pepper, of Boston, who was lately killed ina ‘family quarrel. He was a sailor on the Congress when the Mer- timac made her raid at Hampton Roads, and he was laid away for dead. but recover- ed, having had ekull, nose and jaw broken, teeth knocked out, thumb carried away, arm and leg wounded, an eye destroyed, and other dose. Then he went home and married. A fire next door so seared his wife that she and ber infant died and he was alone again He went to work in some tube mills and fell and broke a leg. Recovering, he was handling lumber, when a pile fell on him and three ribs were bro- ken. These knitted together again and he retarned to work, and indeed, so to speak, took another rib, fur he found a second wife. Back in the tube works he had @ cireular saw to take off the four fingers that his thamb left at Homptee ; aud when he had t:well of this little injary, what was left of tin was killed by a carving knife in his | wife’s hands.’ He scolded her for not know- fog how-to carve, and’ tnocked ther down for her inguorance.: 16 the ecaffle he fell} _ber, and landed on the knife.

Now we can assure the good peaple of Charlotte-that there is not the slighest unkind feeling in our bosom or among the citizens of Salisbury for the people of Charlotte. We feel proud of Charlotte, enjoy her progperity and ad- wire the enterprise and public spirit of her people. It may ‘be the way the Observer man has of showing his loyalty for, and interest in the City of Charlotte and her citizens, to make them believe that we and others are their mortal ene- mies, but it is certainly a very undignified way todo it. We again assure the peo- ple of Charlotre that there ig noweach bad feeling existing among our citizens for them as the Observer would have them believe. Such acharge ia not puly un: reasonable but stupid. a pay If the Rads succeed in electing a majority of the delegates to the Conven- tion, @ worse measure than tbe Civil Rights bill will be inflicted upon the peo- ple of North Carolina. It is pretty gen- erally admitted that the Federal Govern~ ment has no right or power to enforce Civil Rights, but that the States may adopt such measures and enforce such lawe on the subject as they choose. Does any one doubt that the Radical party will enforce social and political equality among the races, should it secure the necessary power in the Convention ? If so, let him look at the action of the party in /this State last Winter when the infamous Civ- il Rights bill was passed by Congress. The measure was not repudiated by the leaders in this State, bat endorsed; and it is known that a large number of the more prominent Radical leaders openly adyo- cate the measure now. Others deny that they are in favor of it, yet continue to agt with those who da. Elect a majority of the Rads to the Convention, and we will have social equality in all its most disgusting aud degrading forms. There will be a ming- ling of whitee and blacks in the schools, in the churches, in the hotels, in the cars, and everywhere. And furthermore mar- riage between the races will be encouraged and legalised. Jf you wish to avert a calamity so humiliating, see that a major- ity of the delegates be Democrats. ---<4o — - ~~ Mr. Beecher’s Salary Increased to $100,000 Per Annum.

Eprrors WArcuMax : . & tlie South-Eagtern pgrtion of Rowan eounty, I stopped for the night at-a farm house on the road side, in the big room of. which there were two clocks, gide by side, and both running. They were much alike externally, but there was 3 difference in the striking arrangement. My curiosity was roused by such asingular cir cumstance, and sq I asked the lady of the house— “Why do you liave two clocks in the same oom where one would seem to be enough ?? new thing, and sq yery. pretty. When the pedlar came along here last spring I’ just told the old man we mypét have ane, and he bought it at last, and paid the pedlar $35 for it.” “A piano clock,” said I, “how is that ?” - “Well I will show you,’’ said the lady, rising and opening the door of each clock. “T his is the old clock—you see it strikes ona bell, But in the new one—loqk—it strikeg on a steel wire coil, and it makes music like a piano! It’s right nice. The old man said I was a fool for wanting it—that we had a good clocx already— but I was bound to have one and go I wouldn’t give up till he bought it.—All the neighbors round here bought one !” Many times since have I had a reminder of the “piana clock,” and the two clocks in the same room, I never gee a pedlar either in town or.country that I do not remember them. Artful, cunning fellows, whose daily and hourly employment it is to devise pretty speeches with which to coax papple to bny things for which they haye no yse. ‘ In the case above recited, whichis litterally true, the same kind af clecks were selijng at the stores in Salisbury at $12 to $15, and yet the pédlar made the family believe that he was doing them a great favor to sell them one for $35 | , Will the country people living at a distance from town remember this: It is the same nearly always, that pedlars.sell a great deal higher when travelling through the country than the same or a better article can be bought for intown. Let oneany take the trouble to inves- tigate the subject and he will find it so ; whether the article be a clock, a watch, a map, a book, a stove, or a lighten|ng rad. There is perhaps no class of pedlars who ex- cell the tightening rod men in trickiness, Ore of them called on an old Ducthman in Illinois, recently, and wanted to put upa rod for him. “No,” said the Dutchman, I don’t believe it is the Tightening what strikes, no how—it is the dunder.” “Exactly sq,” said the pedlar, I have thunder rods too; but see, they arn’t like the lightening rods,” “Yes, yes,” said the Dutchman as he examin- ed them, “that isso. Vell, I will pny one dun- der rod.” Bat the pedlar put up a “dunder” rod at each end of the old man’s house before he left, and carried off $30 more money than he had when he landed there, and got a day’s board for himself and horse jn the bargain. Thunder rods and piano clocks are very shallow tricks, to-be-sure ; but there are people in the rural districts who are simple enough to swallow them. They may be exceptional cases, but they serve to show how unscrupulously pedlars conduct their business ; for I take it that if they do the like in one case, they will not hesitate to practice imposition in another. I commended the firmness of another old Dutchman of whom I have read, who was called on by a lightening man to buy a rod for a new church on which the old man had bestowed much labor and many prayers: : “No,” said he, “I have built the Lord a house, and if he’s a mind to dunder it down, he may do so,” On that rock he planted himself, and there the vedlar left him, unmoved. Shake your head, whenever you see a pedlar drive up, and remember the “piano clock and dunder’ rods. By-the-way, if you want lightening rods, cal] on the Hardware men in Salisbury, who can furnish the material for half price, and any farmer’s boy, with a little instruction, can put them up as well as a pedlar. So, too, with re. gard to everything else shown you by pedlar’s: try the market first, both as to quality and price.

He stood horrified and motionless for a moment or two aiid his heart almost stopped pulsating as the thonght rashed through his frenzied brain, that the object he saw might be his wife’s bonvet, and that ahe and his darling little boy might both be buried in the fathomless quagmire over the center of which lay this relic. Approaching to within asafe distance of this miry pit he discovered the grasa turned downward and the surface of the slough broken and depressed, showing that some ving body had fallen in and been strug, gling greatly to get out. Very soon one of the neighbors and two freedmen came up. Mr. M. had already explored to the depth of his'arm inthe mire, bat found uo further traces of the unfortunate ones. A pole twelvevor fifteen fect long was but neither could anything be felt nor the bottom touched. Another rod, longer than the first, was then fastened to it, and the same examination made with a like result. Any further attempts to recover the dead bodies were therefore deemed usclees. It was accordingly decided to desist, and the party, which had by this lime increased to 35 or 40 persona, all eet out for their respective bomes, just as the pall of night began to wrap the earth in darkness. At this junctare the state of Mr.’s mind, who had to be carried away by force, can better be imagined than described. His agonizing cries aud groans were piteous Thia quagmire bad been known to all occupants of the farm from its earliest settlement ; but never till then was any conception formed of its immese depth. AES LR SERRE RENAE ETN RIE EINE ee Pa —The Public Confidence Well Placed. Although the world has been seeking speci- fics for diseases fur many centuries, few indeed have been found. Prominent among these few is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which years ago received the endorsement of the medical profession sud was bailed by press and public as the great renovant and _preven- tive of the age. And with good reason, since to the weakeed stomach it gives strength, to the torpid liyer activity, to the disordered bowels regularity, and to the shaken nervous system firmness apd tone. Under its benig- nant influence beg|thful vigor returns to the debilitated and wasted frame. the flaccid mu3- ples become compact, the wan aspect of ill health isreplaced by a look of cheerfalness, the nnd ceases to despond, and flesh is de veloped upon the attenuated frame. There is No exaggeration ic this Btatement. It is as troe as that the system is subject to disease. Were proofs required to substantiate the re- ality of the comprehensive effects ot the Bitters, there is probably not in existence a medicine in favor of which such a mass of concurrent testimony, frown the most respect- able sources, coald be adduced. Butthe effi- cacy of the nation’s alterative and invigorant has been @ matter of universal knowledge too long to need any such cotroboration. The fact that it has its largest scales in those por- tions of the North and South American Con- tinents, Mexico, and the West Indies, in which atimostpheric influences prejudicial to health exists, proves what confidence is felt in its remedial and protective virtues, In lo- calities where fevers of an intermittent type prevail. especially, it has come to be rogarded ag an indispensable necessity.

The Grand Jury were attempting to indiet the Judge for] bribe-taking. A witness Mr. E. G. Hay- wood refused tou be sworn, and Judge Watts appealed to the bur to know if he should compell the witness to be sworn. Some of the bar said yea, others said nay. The ma- jority, however, said yea, but the court said uay, and ruled that the,court had no authority to counpell Mr. Haywood to an- ewer but it being a special case aimed at him be would request Mr. Haywood to be sworn. Mr. Haywood decliaed, but suab- sequently was sworn, ard weut before the Grand Jury. Soon theGrand Jury returned aad asked emphatically if they had jurisdic- tion in the case. The Judge declined to give an opinion. but referred thei to Col. Haywood. Full particulars of this disgrace- fal proceeding will appear te-morrow.— Raleigh Sentinel. — CROPS AND FRUIT. It can hardly be realized that a few hun- dred miles wauld make, in temperature, such a difference. We observed in New Jersey and New York the trees loaded with fruit of various. kinds, and the season, though late, will be favorable to wheat, oats and ‘rye ; corn, tuo, looks well nod grows aston- ishingly under the burning sun for the past week. It the winter was one of the coldest iu forty yeers, the summer is correspouding- ly hot, gad every oye predicts a continuation of the heated term, The Culorado Bag is drifting towards New York, and have at hast reached Long Island. In New Jersey, we observed hands brushing the potatoe vines with brooms, the result we have not learned. Millions of dollars have been lost by these bugsin the West. and it isto be hoped that Yankee ingenuity will not now fail to arrest their progress. At least—they create much aaxiety. aod their march is dreaded like a hostile army or some terrible disease.—Stgte aqricultrial Journal. (Fiom Gardener’s Monthly.] THE EUCALYPTUS. Several intelligent friends have written to us in regard to planting this tree. We woald, to one and all, say- that all they have heard about it may he true. No greater blessing in the way of a tree may ever have been given by kind Providence to man. Fn lesa than twenty years time, he who plants the Eucalyptus ma¥ have it eat into solid beams and rafters, or into planks or bogrds. The English bave tound it but littl fnferior to teak wood for ship building. Atwelve year old tree may be cut into ties, and will last better than any wood we are in the habit of us. ing for that purpose. He who plants a piese of gronnd with a lot of the Euca- lyptus, will leave to his children, and children’s children, a magnificent legacy. They will run up to 290 aud 250 feet high, and wi}l grow ou otherwise useless soil. Perhape the finest feature of thie bles- sed blue gam of Tasmania is its beneficent property of abaorbing ‘miasmatic gases. {n this way a plantation of Haealyptas takes the fevers .ont of any anhealty locality. Alreadythe faculty experiments with the bark and leaves as a substitate for quinine.

A woman, a Samaritan, euperstitious aad ignorant coming to draw water, enlists his eympa- thieg. While teaching ber the way of salvation, his disciplea return with the provisjons they have bronght frow the city, and say, ‘Master, eat.” Bat he replies “I have meut to eat that ye know not of.” Although be was- hungry and food was offered to him yet here was an opportuuity ta do good, a pogr woman needivg inetruction and ia doing thie he had a greater joy than eating could give, Reader, visit that poor woman iu distress talk to her, carry ber a little basket of bread, give her a paper or a book to read, ‘sympathize with her troubles, offer to take her children to school and tind them a teacher in the Sabbath School, it will bring you a sweeter joy thau any night of feasting or pic-uie @xeursion or any round of gay fashionable pleasure, can possibly bring. You are tired and. weary and hungry but a neighbor ie sick, turo out of your way and epeak -eome words of comfort and kindness, I-koow you will walk home with a lighter step and more cheerful heart. Christian worker, as you return from that littleprayer meeting or that school house 8S, S. or that visit to a sick one of Christ’s disciples or as you rose from beaded knees or as you welcomed a little stranger and gave bim a picee of bread or a word of encouragement did it not afford you a real joy beyond avything that the world can give. The christians joy in deeper and broader and higher than any which the pleasures of this lite can give. Well may the Christian say in the lan- guage of ber Lord, “I have meat to eat that ye Kvow not of.” —_ —_ 008 The Power of our Words. A young man under conviction of sin was rejoiced to see the face of a christian. friend whom be mach respected. “Now,” he thought, “I may hear a good word that will belp me on towards heaven.” Instead of that the friend said: You were at B. last week. I was there and attended the opera. You onght to have gone.” ‘The smoking flax was effectually quenched. The temper rejoiced and looked on the theatre going professor as bis strong ally. For several yeara the young man hardened hia heart againat conviction, bat waz at last mercifully résened. The friend, however, hud near- ly sealed his distraction, A young girl came to her father for couveel when distressed for sin. He wae gne who practiced fetting the lambs stay oat in the cold until they were grown, and then if they survived, it would an- ewer to let them into the warm fold. He answered her coldly Ob, it is all very well, bat I am afraid it will not last.”— Stang with mortification, she turned away, and very soon los¢ all interest in religion ; even discontinuing her atten- dance at the Sabbath School. Many no doubt, have turned away from seeking Christ by a fault finding word of some friend, The minister or the faithfal teacher was criticised sarcastically, aud all their good instructions were peutra~ lized.

One rainy night, about half-past eight e’clock, the train bad dashed iuto McKib- ben’s Corners, au.d the mail bad been de-~ liyered at the store and post office. John Pairjehn, the postmaster, had ped the bag and counted the letters. Thee were, as he wade out, just ten, and goe was larger than the others and had a ned seal; and then he had found that he bad left his glasses on the newspapers in the back room, and without his glasses he gould not read a live; and 80, of course be had gone after them, returning to find two persous in the store—Farmer Roper wd Squire McKibben, whose ancestors hed given name to the place. Wet, ain't it? said Mr. Fairjohn, nod- ding. : Wet or not, our folks ain't going to do Withoat their gioceries, you see, said the wquire. Mail's in, I see. That train tame near running into my track, too. Wasn't noticing the flag, and drove across jost in time to save myself. Any letters for me ! I'll see, said Mr. Fainjobn. He tipned to the little pile of envelopes and turned them over in his hand like a deck of cards. 3 “Why there’s only sine” be said. I’m sure T counted right. I counted ten, and Tthought one had a red seal. I might wwell give up keeping the office if I’m going to lose ny. senses like that.

Yes, there is a letter for you—your folks, ary: Way—and something for yoa, Mr. Roper. Aud you wouldn’t pass}”’ ‘Ob, no,’ said farmer Roper, ‘give it to Be. That’s from Smith ia New York, I reckon.

Yes, wait, Mrs. Lester, erted Mr. Me- Kibben, ‘I'll take yor aud welcome.’ Bot she bad answered: ‘Thank you, I don't mind walking alone and was gone. ‘Keeps it up, don’t she?’ asked the postmaster. ~ ‘It’s ashame,’ said Mr. McKibben. ‘How many years is it now since Les- ter went off?’ ‘Ten,’ said the postmaster. ‘I know, tor it was the day Leamebere. She was as pretty a woman as you'd want to see then, wasn’t she ?’ ‘Well, yes,’ said Mr. McKibben. ‘Sailed in the Sphynx,’ said the post: master, ‘And we all khow that the Sphynx went down in that voyage, ull hands along with her. The reat of the women put on widow’s weeds, them that lost busbands—four in this town They took what the Almighty sent and didu’t rebel.

He etands ready to offer himself again any day —ready* to be a father to heread and a good husband to her. He’s better off than I be. His mother’s father left him all he had: HHe’s crazy as Job—crazy, I call it. Plenty of pretty gals, and healthy, smart widows, and he sees no one Lut that pale, slim little thing that’s just gone ont into the mud; and she—why, of course she’s lost ber s:nsee or she'd have him. Works like aslaveto keep herself and child, lives in a rickety shanty waiting for a drowned man to come back again. Why, every one knows Charlie Lester was drowned inthe Sphynx. ‘There wasn’t a soul eayed, not one. It was in the pa- pers. Now, the bottle was found with a letter in it writ by some one before the ship sunk. And ehe is waiting for him yet!’ ‘Crazy on that point,’ said the post~ master. ‘Well, poor eoul, she'd only been married a week when the Sphynx sailed; that makes a difference,’ ‘Oh, yes,’ said the farmer.

Jessie Lester went no more to the postoffice for her long expected letter, Job was furnishing his house— had turnisbed it, for ou the morrow the’ wedding waa to take place. And it was night again. A month from that night, when she had come for the last time, as every one thought, through rain and mad to make her eadly foolish query, she was sensible at last—very sensible. She had chosen the substance instead of the shad- ow. And now as we said, it was night, and @ wetter one than the other—later, too, fur Mr. Fairjohn had closed the store, and was compounding for himself what he ealled a ‘night cap’ of some fragrant liqdor, warm water, lemons and sagar, and was eupping it by the stove when there came upon his door a feeble knock, and when being repeated, be heard it there staggered in out of the rain a drip» pig figure that of Jessie Lester, the bride who was to be on the morrow. She was treinbling with cold, and as he led her aloog to the fire she burst into a flood of tears. . ‘I’m frightened,’ she said. ‘Some one followed me all the way, I heard them.’ ‘You’ve no business to be ous alone at night,’ said old Fairjoho, bluutly ‘And what’s the matter ?’ She looked up at him piteoasly. ‘I thought there would be a letter,’ she said. ‘I dreamt there was one. . I thought Charlie came and said: ‘Go to the office once more. Ihave written, I have written.” And I thought I saw a letier with a red seal.’ ‘So did I,’ muttered old Fairjohn to himself. And he went to the box where the let- ters were kept and brought them to her in his band. ‘Look for yourself,’ he said. ‘And now Mrs. Lester, I aman old man; take my advice, remember what your duty will be after to-morrow. Remember not to go crazy. “Ten years have gone since your huas~ band left this place, If he’s alive be’s a rascal, and you are free of him by law; ' but we all know that every man on board.; the Sphynx was drowned.

He was very pale, and took no notice of Fairjobn, but crossing the store on be- side Jeasie Lester, ‘You love that man best, even now,’ he saij. ‘You’d rather have found a letter frein him than not, though to-morrow is our wedding day.’ She looked ap into bis face with a pite- ous glance. ‘I never lied to you,’ she said. know that.’ He grew whiter still. ‘I told you a man would loge his soul for such a love as mine,’ he said. ‘Did you think those were idle words ? Then he plunged his hand into bis bo-~ aom, and the next inetant a letter with a red seal, lay in Jessie’s lap. ‘I’ve made you happy, and now I'll go,’ he said, ‘Fairjohn, I stole that letter a month ago off the counter yonder, I knew who wrote it at a glance;’ and then the door closed behind him and he was gone. But Jessic had torn open the letter and looked after him. And these were the words she read, old Faijjohn reading over her shoulder: ‘ABOVE THE SILVER STAR.—Jessio, I don’t know what makes me believe that I shall find you mine still, after all these years, but something does.’ *Five.of us were east on a desert island | when the Sphynx went down.

It basas much applicativn to the people of Illinois aa to us. There are provisions in the Constitution insulting and degrading to the sovereignty of the State and purposely p'aced there.’’ Judge Manly says: it. “The Constitution ought to be amend~- ed in many material respects, and it should be done at once, as indispensibly necessary to useful legislation. ‘There is no person in the State, it seems to me, who has the sevse to form a judgement upon the sub- ject at all who, at the same time, is capa- ble of freeing himself from the blinding N. to the eondition of oar fF and expensive. rogant use of moral tations, is uninte and has many matters ¢ can make our present abie. all our recent victories. © “24 Convention is a mopgment @ of true Conservatiem ‘and stand that what is’ so ma good of the people is likely ous to the party that favo and most expeditioys-as well as the most satisfactory mode of amending the Con~ stitution and ridding ourselves forever of the obnoxious features which confessedly overwhelm aod oppress us. vention shall assemble and restore the old Constitution as far as is consistent with the new order of things and guarding the Homestead and exemptions, the people will “rise up and call it blessed,” Conventiun when convened should re- adopt the State Constitution we had on the 20th of May, 1861, with the necessary amendments growing out of the recent amendments of the Constitution of the United States and the ordinances ‘in our preseat Constitution on the question of slavery with the addition of the bomestead personal property exemptions.” opinion of the Attorney General be cor- ' consent of the governed. _paseage of laws which growing couvenien- af * C., JULY: ———————— ,¢ee It is tainted ‘ Iigible, abgare a constitutional law whichblang’ to she of that bad coarage which bears public evanescent and changeable’ of, the | odiam to’stand forth io defense of this day, and onght to have been to the} most mischievous and wicked coustita- domain of ordinary législatten. tion.” Judge Warren says : “No change of the ineam Persistence inv: the = ky ¥° for the’ +e danger- Ww Colonel Folk says ; a “T consider a Gonegation the ye? cheapest | If a Con.

Jos. B. Batchelor, formerly At- torney General of the State, says : “IT know of no member of the Deme- cratic- Conservative party who has at any time defended the present Constitution or | said that material amendments were not necessary. Under these cireumstances to harbor a doubt that the best interests of the people of the State requires that. the present Constitution should be ma- terially and speedily ameuded, would be to cast unjust impatation on the sincerity . and honesty of purpose of the party which I have supported since its organization.” Col. Walter Ju. Steele says : “The Constitution is not the choice of the people who are governed by it bata bastard begetten by tyranny and perjury. It isa compound of organic principles and | statutory requirements thrown together without order, incongruous and absard. It is mysterious and cembersome aud tends to impede rather than advance rat- ional progress. It imposes burdens “grievous to be borue” and prevents the ces and necessities demand. It.needs heavy pruning and a thoroagh reconstruction to bring it into harmonious shape, solid; structure and becoming proportions. All | partial attempts at amrudment therefore will only add more patches to the mosiac garment. A general revision, preserving the principles established by our fathers and such new provisions as our. changed condition requires, is the ouly means by which we cau hope to get the organic law into harmony in all its parts, securing all proper landmarks for legislative and jadi cial guidance and unfettering the General Assembly from many necdless restraints which now hamper and control it. And this requires a Convention. Montfort McGehee, Esq., of Person, says : _ “The Constitution was imposed on us by force. We look on it as a badge of ser- vitude. It was the work of needy ad- ventures ignorant of political science, in- tent only on plunder and office. It has manacled the hands of the Legislatare where action is essential te prosperity and progress. It had engendered and kept alive a constant strife between the several departments of the government; the boundary line between the law-making’ executive branebes of our Government is et undefined after years of litigation. ‘he verdict of the people is “made up. This Constitution is an to us and we do nut intend to live under it.” __ MOar Oppetitation is as full of mischief gs an egg is of méat and in truth is well no man has yet been found with enough ‘two ati¢ndments; a general change is {needed.

Its that instrument and its utter inadaptation to important defects and great superfluities of ambiguity and restrietions upon the legiss lative department, its loose and anrestrain- ed power vested in the hands of the Exe- utive Department have been and continue to be sources of much; embarrasement in perfecting useful legislation for the coun- try. Under such a Constitution we can never hope to see our good old State de- veloped into a great and glorious com- monwealth such as her natural resources entitle her to be.” Judge O. P.

Raleigh announcing the adjournment of the Canby Conven- tion on the evening of the 17th of March : RALEIGH, March 17, 1868. “The Constitution Convention ad journed to day. The closing scenes last night and this morning were very discredf itable. After the ceremony of signing the Constitation was gone through with (the Conservatives having refused to sign it retired from the hall) the capitol bell was ordered to.be rung in honor of the event. The floor was then cleared and the black and white Radicals joined hands, in honest social equality forming a circle, and commenced a sort of a eorn field dance, einging such songs as “Old John Brown’s Soul is Marching On,” and ‘Hang Jeff Davia on a Sour Apple Tree.’ The greatest disorder prevailed. * * * * Gen. Littlefield, who had been manipu- lating the financial schemes of the Con- vention, among others, made a glrrificas tion speech and closed by calling upon the body to aid him in singing “Old John Brown’s Soul is Marching On,” which was done, and were followed by other songs of the same disgraceful char: acter.” All this, fellow citizens of North Car- olina, took place in the Convention halls of your State Capitol. How do yon like the picture? It furnishes a disgraceful commentary on the men and measures of that body. Sons of Successful Men. Next to the inquiry. what becomes of the pins? an interesting question would be: What becoines of the successful men? A few men and a few firms are in the hands of the founders; but these are exceptions. The old name and the old trade generally | pass inte the hands of others. **Do you see that man shoveling coal? Well, his chil- dren, aud ehildren like his, will jostle your ampered sons and rule this land, said aa old England Yorker, the other day. The old vames have ceased in the pulpit. The famed at the bar seldom have successors. The emiuvent jurists carry their honors with them tothe grave. Merchant princes are obliterated. The reason is clear. The fathers laid the basis of business one way, aud the sons build another. Men who earned their fortunes by bard work aad diligence, and wha know sixteen hours’ toil by personal attention, who were their own bouk-keepers. salesmen, cashiers, and often porters, are followed by sous who do as little as possible ; who delegate to others all the work they caa, and who know more of the road than the ledger. Famous botel men were gentlemen, men of intelligence. men who were the equals of the best in the land, and never sunk the gentlemen in their trade. Young men who fling the example of their sires to the winds, find it easier to squander a valuable name, run tHrough a fortane quicker than it was earned and fiud themselves, while young.- at-a poiat from whieh their fathers started.

But we will sa, that Rowan county needs the proposed Road, aud that if she fails to seoure jt Low, it will prove a disaster to the county. Row- an must keep up with the spirit of im- provement if she would gustain her inter~ est and position in the State. She must equip herself with every advantage fn her power for the sake of these. “She has the soil, the climate, the relative location, the varied resources and the men, to entitle her to first rate dignity and respectability asa county, and she only needs. to put torth her hand toa little hatd work to secure her pogition and foster her own interests. We cannot believe that her people are yet ready to seat themselves in the ashes aad meanly acknowledge— “heye is our place.” , Railroads are the order of the times in which we live. Before their introduction we were all on the same level, no one section having advantages above us, and no immense monopolies capable of preying upon the indastry of our people. But that equilibrium and immunity bas been disturbed by the introduction of Railroads and the organization of moneyed monopo- lies that- sudtch at the wealth of the soil like famished wolves,remorselessly carry- ing it off tor less than its value or at ex- tortionate charges from every community that fails to protect itself against them. The only protection open to us is ‘to arm ourselves with Railroads affording as many outlets as possible, giving us ad- vantages equal to other communities, and bringing the monopolists, face to face com. petitors for the trade the county affords, and for the business her people have need to transact. The Yadkin Road will do 4 great deal for us in this direction. The advantages will exceed many times over the cost of building it, and every man not in the interest of other roads who will take the trouble to think about it scriously for one half hour, will be driven to the conclusion that we must have this Road, Fellow ciiizens of Rowan, do yourselves the favor to bestow on the sub. ject the thought we suggest. It is an important matter, reaching far ahead in the fature, and involving your prosperity for years to come—reaching forward to the life-time of your children, though un- born. If built, it will bless you and them. Bat if we sit siill at a time like this, when every man should strip for the work, the day of repentance may come and find as‘no power to help ‘ourselves. Yadkin Rail Read. TO all Whom it May Concern. The following is respectfully sub- mitted to the people of Rowan county with the hope that it will receive care- ful consideration at their hands. It is proposed to ask Rowan county to subscribe to the capital stock of the Yadkin Railroad Company one hun- dred thousand dollars, and we give the special act of legislation that the pec- ple may see exactly what ‘is proposed to them : An Act to authorize the Board of County Com- missioners of Rowan County to subscribe to the capital stock of the Yadkin Railroad Co. Section 1. The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact, That the board o county commissioners of Rowan county be and they are hereby authorized to subscribe for the county of Rowan the sum of one hundred thousand dollars to the capital stock of tHe Yadkin Railroad Company to aid in the completion of a railroad from Salisbury, in the county of Rowan, to Wadesboro’ in the county gf Anson. .. Sec. 2, That to provide for the payment of said subscription of one hundred thou- sand dollars mentianed in the next preceed- Ing section,: the cqunty commissioners of Rowan county shall make and issue coupon bonds to the amount of one hundred thou: sand dollars in ‘denorhinations of not less than five hundred dollars and not-more than one thousand dollars, and that: the coupons of said bonds shall be received in the pay- ment of county taxes when said coupons be- come due. mee Sec. 3. That said bonds shall be signed by the chairman of the board of county commissioners of Rowan county and coun- tersigned by the clerk of the board of com- missioners of said county, and shall bear in- terest at the rate of six per centum per an- num, interest to be paid annually. Sec. 4.

See. 6. That when said bonds are issued twenty thousand :doliars of them shall be delivered to the ee and board of-dir rectors ofthe ¥ ‘Railroad Company at or before the expiration of sixty days from graded, ‘Phe éubject is so thoroughly disenssed jn | P (open aay ovat ch rhe iles d is grade bury, and twenty thou- : edaivioal ten miles Se. all of said bonds-are delivered. Sec. 7. That the president and board of directors of said Yadkin Railroad Company shall issue to the board of county commis- sioners of Rowan county a certificate of stock equivalent to the amount of bonds deliver- a at par value of said bonds,-and that the county commissioners. of Rowan county be empowered to appoiat ote of their number or some other suitable. person to represent the county of Rowan in the meetings of the stockholders of the ssid Yadkin Railroad Company. * ”’ . Sec.'8. That the board of county commis- signers of Rowan county shall hold au elec- tiqn-on the thirteenth day of May, one thou- sand eight hundred and seventy-five, for the of ascertaining the sense of the qual- ified vaters of Rowan county as to whether they will subscribe the aforesaid sum of one handred thousand dollars, having first given thrée months’ notice of said election by pub- lic advertisement d at the court-house door in the townof Salisbury, and:at one or more places in each township in: said coun- ty, and also in the “ Salisbury :‘Watchman” and “ Salisbury Intelligencer,” weekly news- papers published in the said town of Salis- bury, which said advertisements in said newspspers shall contain a copy of this act. Sec. 9. That said election shall take place and be conducted under the law as pre- scribed for the election of members of the 33 st tof e f 0 C subscription and issue of said. bonds shalt vote on a written or printed ticket ‘‘ Sub- scription,” and those voting against said subscription and issue of bonds shall vote “No Subscription.* ' Bec. 10." That jf said board of commis- sioners.sifall fail to order said election men- tianed in the section nine of this act, or shall refuse to issue said bonds after the qualified voters of the said county. shall vote for said peas ron then and in that case they and each of them shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor ang shall be fined not less than one'thausand dollars or imprisoned not less than six months, in the discretion of the court. Sec. 11.

And provided further, That one hundred thousand dollars shall .be subscribed.to the capital stock of the Yadkin Railroad Company by individuals, corporations or otherwise, in addition to what has already been subscrib-. ed and five per centum of the individual subscription paid in after such ratification. This act shall be in force provided the coun- ty commissioners of Rowan and Stanly counties shall deem the said subscription solvent. — | : : bee’ * Ratified the 5th day of Feb., A. D. 1 : 875. An Act to umend an act entitled “ An Act to authorize the board of county commissioners of Rowan county to subscribe to the cupital stock of the Yadkin Railroad Company. Section 1. The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact, That section eight, of the: above entitled act. be amended -by striking out the words “13th day of May” and in- serting in lieu thereof, ou or before tlic first Thursday in August or as soon thereafter as the notice of advertisement required in the same section can be given. Sec. 2. That section eleven be amended by striking out the last clause, to wit: ‘ This act shall be in force provided the county commissioners of Rowan and Stanly coun- ties shall deem the said subscription sol- vent.” . Sec. 8.-This act to be in force from and after its ratification. ; Ratified the 24th day of Feb., A. D. 1875. It will be seen that the Countv is to issue bonds to the amount ot one hundred thousand dollars, running ‘or thirty years ; four thousand dollars of the bonds to he paid in the year 1880, and four thousand every year thereaf- ter till all are paid. They are to bear six per cent interest. The county commissioners are to levy and collect the taxes to meet the interest and bonds as they come due. So that the bonds will be perfectly good and secure. It will be further seen’ that only twenty thousand dollars worth of these bonds are to be issued at a time. Ten miles of the Road must be graded, commencing at Salisbury, before any besides the $20,000 are to be issued, and so on. So that by the time the $100,000 worth of bonds are issued you will have fifty miles of road graded, whieh will put you within 6 miles of Wadesboro’. —- It ‘will be seen that your county commissioners will have a certificate of stock in the Railroad equal to the amount of bonds issued; and that they shall. appoint one of their num- or some other suitable person to represent the stock of the County in all meetings of the Company, so that the County will be a stockholder to the amount of $100,000. Any of you have a right to say who shall be your county commissioners, and hence Row- an county will have a great if not a controlling influence in the manage- ment of the Road. It will be further seen that the bonds are not to be issu- ed until $350,000 are raised, which a- mount will grade the Road. The es- timates of the Engineer who surveyed the route four years ago, were $310,- 000 to grade it. When the Road is once graded, it can be mortgaged on first mortgage bonds running for 20 years, and money sufficient raised to complete the Road. -"¥ _ This Road will be a paying road, and of odurse you will get your divi- dend on your $100,000, which may be applied to the payment of the interest on the bonds, --) 2 Should the County after the: Road is completed desire to sell its stock, it could do‘so for, say, seyenty-five cts, in the dollar, and: apply -the:-proceeds to the’ ymknt- Wf the bonds; which’ General Assembly, and those voting for the}: ‘Road will a will will be. . Pro be worth at one million dollars more than it now is. = But let us. look a little to the value of property in the County and to the The total value of pro is $2,747,395 Real estate, $1,875,680 Personal preperty, 871,715 Thete is $1,003,965 more real than personal. You pay: 80, cents on the $100 this year, which.will: raise $21,- 979 16. Now if on‘this basis of pro- perty you raise this sum by. paying 80 cents on’ the $100, how much addition- al will it take to raise $6,000, or enough to pay, the annual interest on $100,000? $21,979 : 6,000 :: 80 cts : — 22 cts. additional. Add this‘22 cents to the 80 cts. and yaqu will have $1.02. So that instead of paying 80 cts. you will pay $1.02, calculating on the same basis of property, ~~ a And so on the samsbasis you would have to pay 364 cents additional in the year 1880, when yoa would have to raise $10,000, which would be the largest amount the County will ever have to pay. It will gradually grow legs every year thereafter. The above figures are made on the supposition that’ the valuation of the property remains the same. This will not be the case. Property will be en- hanced in value one million of dollars the per cent., or amount Sf tax on the $100. To raise $27.979, or the tax you pay this year, and the $6,000 for the interest on the $100,000, you would pay a fraction less than 80 cts. on the one hundred valuation. And to raise $31,979, or the tax you pay this year, and the $10,000 for the year 1880, you would pay 862 cents, only 63 cts. more than you now pay. So that the man whose property is not en- hanced in value will bave no more tax to pay, or at most only a very little more ; and the man whose property is enhanced in value-can very easily af- ford to pay more tax. In other words the rate on the $100 will be about the same as it is now. To say that the property in the County will be worth one million more than it now is, is not an idle assertion. The building of the Railroad in Forsythe county raised the value of property. there $890,000, , The value of the property in the town of Salisbury is $502,484; about one-fifth of the value of the whole property in the county. ‘The benefits to be derived from this Road are numberless. It connects you with Wilmington and Charleston, two great ports. It gives you compe- tition in freights. And of course that is a saving in the pocket of the con- sumer and the producer, ' Please consider carefully the following startling facts and figures. < Take the greatest staple Corron: The eot- ton crop of Rowan is at least 4000 bales. The freight on a bale from Salisbury to N. York is $3. From Charlotte it is only $1.75, being a loss to the farmers of Rowan of $1.23 ,on every bale of. cotton they raise. 4000 bales at $1.25 per bale is just five thousand dollars loss annually—ncarly cnough of itself to pay the railroad tax.—Then take the Corn crop of the County, which at a low estimate is one hundred thousand bushels—worth in Salis- bury 85 cents per bush,, in Charlotte 95 cts. to $1; and in Wadesboro’ $1 to $1.25. Why is this? Is not our corn as good as anybody else’s? It is simply because of the excessive discrimination against us in freights by that grinding monopoly, the N.C, R. R., whose interested friends are fighting the Yadkin Road with all their power.. Suppose the Road only increases the price of corn jive cents per bushel—and it will certainly do that— don’t you see that this makes sige thou- sand dollars every year in the pockets of the farmers of Rowan? . They‘are now swindled out of just that amount, which added to the overcharge on cotton makes just ten thousand dollers in clean cash, which the farmer would realize every year by the building of this Road, Look, too, at other outrageous freight charges, by which Rowan loses thousands upon thousands of dollars every year: First class freights are shipped to Charlotte from N. York, at 90 cts per 100 Ibs., while Salis- bury is charged $1.35 per 100; a difference of 50 percent. against us. And who pays this? _The yarmers of Rowan county pay it every day of their lives and upon every ar- ticle they buy. This difference alone would pay the Railroad tax. Take again the Hay and Forage crop of the County: At least-¢ewee millions of pounds of hay and forage are shipped from Rowan every year. The N.C. R. R. used to charge 11 cents per 100 from Salisbury to Charlotte, now it is about 28 cts. They used to charge 28 cents per 100 to Raleigh, now it is 50 cts. crmore. Say the average advance is 20 c. per 100, and we have the enormous sum of Jour thousand dollars, which is annually gouged out of the pockets of the farmers of Rowan on this crop alone. These illustrations might be carried on indefinitely, but the above will suffice to show the deep interest the people of the coun- try have in the building of the Yadkin Rail road, It will, instead: of burdening them, into their pockets. It will by enhancitg the value of farm products, and by building up a good home market, greatly increase the value of lands, encourage our young men to stay at home, lend a new interest to farming, and introduce a new era of prosperity. Con- sider the subject.well, ye hard-working men ot Rowan, whettier you will listen to the de. ceitful ery of demagogues, and vote down this greatest opportunity for improving the condition of. qur good old County; or whe- ther. you will determine to throw off the shackles of grinding monopolies, disregard the, falsehoods with -which this measure is misrepresented, and consult your own true interests by yoting for this asked for appro- priation to the Yadkin Railroad. that it takes to grade the be spent here at home, aud:so. we will haye, more money in the country, more entesprise, more life, - The mone} seen irk prosperity and far better times. then will only b- a loan on the part at least.

Lightming.—The lightning struck in Mrs. Dr. Hall’s yard, on Sunday night last. were several squares off, but it lifted us from esarchair, and put us to thinking whether we had read any in the bible that day or not.— There’s no better incentive to self-examination than a harp thunder storm. Business Change.— Mr. David Rk. Julian, bas retired from the firm of McCubbins, Beall & Jullian, disposing of his interest to oar en- verprising young friend Mr, John Dean. We ae not apprised what Mr. Julian will turn his attention to, but feel certain that his indomita- be energy will bring him to the top somewhere | Won. M. C.

It will be a happy re-union of the far- mers and their families from the different parts of the county. Mesars. P. N. Heilig, Jno. W. Mauney. and Theo. F. Kluttz, are canvassing actively for the Yadkin Railroad, and are meeting with very flatering encouragement everywhere Those who opposed the measure violently, when they come to understand its merits, are its earnest advocates. The matter is an important one, and should be calmly and dispassionately con- sidered by the people of the county, in order that they may vote intelligently upon it. To this end, we commend the circular issued by the Board of Directors to the careful consideratiun of all vur peopie. Heard from:—Yes, many a palpitating heart of,“Sweetheart left behind,” will beat easier for the boys who ‘are over the hills and far away,” to learn that they've been heard from. The party reached Asheville yesterday, all in good order, and “right side up with care.” They write that they’ve been having just lots of fun, and passing lots of blockade still houses at the head of the branch, but they can’t get anything to drirk ’cause they take ’em for rev- enuers. It’s a good thing now, that they took that jimmyjohn of peppermint drops along. DELEGATES FROM ROGUE'S ConGRESS, to the number of fifty passed up the W. N.C. R. BR, on Saturday last, they wereon their way to Morganton, under guard, to make brick for the building of the Branch Lunatic Asylum at that point. They were.the cleanest, fattest. health- iest looking lot of negroes we have seen “sens freedum was mancipated,’”’ as the old darkey put it. This Radical Penitentitry isa whole- sale nuisance, and we hope to see it abolished ! and the rascals punished with thirty-nine good, honest lashes on their rascally backs instead. What punishment is it to a nigger to send-him there? He has good fare, good lodging, good cluthing-wears shoes fall the year round, has good medical attention when sick, and in every- thing fares better then when out. The work amounts to nothing with him, for he’d have to have to do that anyway. So we can’t see where the punishment comes in. A Granger Dinner. On Thursday 29, Jaly, there will be given by the Grangers of Rowan County a pic nic dinner at Seotch Ireland Grange near Tuird Creek Station W.N.C.R. R. The Grangers from Iredell county are expected to be present. Distinguished speakers from abroad will address the The farmers generally and Agricultural in- meeting. others interested in the terests of the county are invited to attend. |Pe.sons can go from Salisbury on the lregalar traing, and arrangements will be | made with the Railroad authorities to res jturn them in the evening. We hope all the Giangers in the Coun- ty will prepare ample baskefs of good | things and be present that we may havea | guod time generally. C. | Peaches.—The peach crop of New Jersey, | Maryland, and some of the northern States, this year, is described as enormous. The peach | growers have been in Convention several times, ‘this summer, for the purpose of devising ways | and means on a scale equal to the emergency for disposing of the crop, the lowest estimate of | which is put down at 8,000,000 baskets. The | railroads are preparing for a big job of trans- portation by vastly increasing their number of cars; and steamships have been employed to carry in refrigerator appartments as much as they can, to: Liverpool, England. The only serioas question yet to be tested is, wheter consumers at renumerative prices can be found. New York, Philadelphia and Boston are looked to principally for the solution of this question, though the arrangements for dis- tributing the crop extend to almost every city and town within convenient reach. The “baskets” hold about a peck, or a little more; and-sell, according to the quality of the fruit, from 25cts to a dollar. . The extra early varieties of peaches have al- ready appeared in market. Vegetables and Flowers.—Two kinds of Beets;fCarrois, Irish Potatoes, Cabbage; three kinds Beans ; Okra, Squashes, Onions, Toma- toes, Corn, Borage; three kinds Geraniuma, three do. Gladioli, Callas, Petunias, two kinds Phlox; Hollyhocks, Ribbon Grass, Verbenas, Larkspura, Dahlias, Roses, Trumpet Flowers (rare kind), Ambrosia, and several other things unknown by name;—all these—vegetables first, garnished by the flowers, fresh-cut and beauti- ful, arranged on an immense salver or waiter, borne on the head of a herculean eon of Ham, entered oar office Monday forenoon, with a note conveying the compliments of Mr. M. Crawford, to whom we return, most respectfully, our sincere thanks. But the reader should know more of the man who can rot only ‘eonceive, happy compli- mentary thoughte’but produce in profusion the various things ennumerated above. Mr. Craw- ford is quite young gentleman who crossed the Atlantic about a year ago in Company with our fellow-townsman, Mr. Wm. Mardoth |coming to make the United States his home. He is a Gardener by education, and here we’ see some of the fruits of his labor the first year. We understand that his training has been thor- ough and practical ; and althongh he is yet but a learner as toour climate and soil, here are productions of which any young man in the State might be proud. Like all men of sense and merit, however, he is modest, and pride the least part ofhim. He is entitled to suc- ceas in his calling, and we doubt not will find the reward due his intelligence and energy. Mr. E. A. Wright, of Goldsboro, hav- ing been nominated for office by the Rad- icala, publishes a manly card in the Mes- senger, declining to receive office at the hands of that party, and uses the follow» ing strong language; “I had rather toil for an honest living by the sweat of my brow and live poor, die poor, and at last be baried by ween than u bare this disgrace upon myself, my wife an little ones, sal ths rest of my kindred and the whole white race thrown in.” stitution should be cha - Grange Pio- Wig, It will'be seen by degra Thes at Franklin ‘Acader Friday, came off very* pleasantly, . Henderson r. first ed.the people, a speech of about an hour’s, length, in which heset forth many reasons why the present Con- nged. He showed.up its many defects and its total unsuitableness to the spirit and genius of our people and State. He argued that the people one not be wil- ling to live under it because it was not .acon- stitution made by themselves, but that when it was framed, very many of our best and most influential citizens were disfranchised and could take no part in we framing of the constitition, that eohsequently it was the production of Yankees, scalawags and negroes, all of which was perfectly true. The writer of this article, remembers well that he was disfranchised, to- gether with a number of others in this Town- ship and a large number in Rowan county, and I remember, too, that_on the morning of the election for Vonvention in 1868, I had several negro laborers on my farm, all of whom went to the election and voted, but I did not attend the election for the reason that I was dis- franchised. I had no part nor parcel in making the present Constitution, and I am not willing that I and my prostexgty should live under it, ovided it can, be-amended by any proper, egal-means. Hon. F. E. Shober, followed Mr. Henderson, endorsing his views in a masterly speech of over an hour’s length. ;, None of the. ground early in the morning, but having a call to visit a patient went away before thespeaking, authoriziog Mr. Shober to announce him as a candidate, which he did in a very handsome manner. By the way, Dr. Jones is in very feeble health, and being a- peraonal friend of his, I regret to see it. . I think it unreasonable in his party. to expect him to canvass the Coun- ty, in his present state of health. Though. I feel entirely certain that Messrs Shober and Henderson will be glad to meet him .or any candidate they can send out in the discussion. Messrs. Editors.—Our people were so very busy ‘on their farms that there was not a large audience, but it need not be set down as an in- dex of the feeling of our people, or as an indi- cation of luke-warmness.. When the votes are counted in August, you will see that old Frank- lin, as ever, will be, right side up. I will guar- rantee that not asingle white man in this Town- ship will vote for the opposition candidates. Messrs. Shober and Henderson had nothing to say about the Rail Road question. This is proper and right, and they should not be cate- chised on that subject at all. Messrs. Mauney,and T. F. Kluttz, followed in very spirited speeches in favor of the Yadkin R. R., Setting forth their reasons why it would be advantageous for the county to subscribe one hundred thousand dollars towards said Rail Road. Whatever the people may think of the scheme, the Rail Road question has able and energetic advocates in Messrs. Mauney and Klnttz. By the way, we learn that the radicals taking it for granted that the Rail Road project was unpopular, have instructed their candidates to ‘ppose it and have given orders to the ne- groes to vote agaimst it, all of which they will do, although the said candidates and negroes were all in favor of it ten days ago. * But it won’t do them any good. They will find that, “the best laid plans, of mice and men, gang aft aglee”’ By the way, I would not wonder, if this very move of theirs don’t add strength to the Rail Road party. There are some people who don’t like to vote as the negroes and radi- cals do, but we will see what we will sce. A CITIZEN. Glorious News.— From all direc- tions do we get glorious news about the The democratic nominees will sweep the State, and our majority aa campaign, conceded by the intelligent revublicans in the East, will be quite as large as it was in the last Legislature.

The radical party gave us the Holden and Kirk War—hanging the innocent men up by the neck. Will the white people again vote them in power 1— Asheville Citizen. They are Paid to Do It.—Don’t be surprised that so many of the radical office-holders are ‘‘stumping’’ against Convention. They are hired to do it— are simple working for the money. They have a “corruption fund,” and ‘this is the way the money goes.—Ash, Citizen. Radical Extravagance.—$84,000 county taxes wrung from the impoverish- ed people of our county in the last six years. In this amount is not iocladed the sheriff's commissions, which added to it will swell the amount to over $100,000. “How long, oh! how long ‘”’—Franklin Courier. ‘Phe Radical Address.—The ridi- cal address, issued to humbug people, is full of all sort of misrepresentatious, ap- pealing to the fears and prejudices of those who have no opportunity of knowing bet ter, with the hope of creatiug distrust as to the intention of those who favor Con- vention. It is nothing more than a tricky electioneering paper.— Salem Press. ee The Ingenuity of a small Boy. ‘One day, a few weeks since, a little boy who had teen standing for aome time in front of a drug store in Baltimore, en- v ously eyeing a large reel, well provided with “‘simmy dimmy” twine, as the boys call it, which was fastened to the top of the counter, summoned up courage enough to walk in and ask for a few yards with which to fly his kite. The doctor bears the name of being a good-natured maa, full of hemor, and very fond of the little ones ; bat the youngster approached him ata time at when he was out of his asual mvod, and he, consequently gave “no” for an @oswer. The urchin had made up his wind to have some of ‘that cord’ ary- haw, and he got it. -“On Thursday morning the boy enfered the store, accompanied by another boy and adog. Boy No. 2 having placed a bottle on the counte:, demurely asked four five cents worth of “ayrup squills and pollygol- lic,” and while the doctor wa-filling the order, boy No. 1 was tying the cord to the dog's tail. When the man of medicine re turned to the counter, the reel was flyiug like tury. The doctor react:ed for a pal- let knife,and having hung himself over thecounter, made a désperate whack atthe cranium efihe youngster, who, he suppos- ed, was sitting on the floor helping him- self: Butlo! the boys and the dog “Bouncer” were not there. The doctor having tried in vain to stop his reel, was obliged to give it up, on account of the heat it communicated to the palm of his hand. When he reached the door he beheld the boys upon the sidewalk, about two blocks off, aad “Bouncer,” in the middle of the street, going at the rate of} forty knots an hour, the string - pointing difectly towarde ‘his tail. ‘he reel con- tinued to spin for some time, opposition spoke...

SEL Pi PT SE SCN LAR IEE NES ETE The Public Confidence Well. Placed. Although the world has been seeking speci- fics for diseases fur many centuries, few indeed have been found. Prominent among these few is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, which years ago received the endorsement of the medica! profession, and was hailed by press and public as,the great renovant and preven- tive of the age. And with good reason, since to the weakened stomach it gives strength, to bowels regularity, and to the shaken nervous systein firmness andtone. Under its benig- nant influence healthful vigor returns to the ebilitated and wasted frame. the flaccid mua- Fles become compact,the wan aspéct of ill health isreplaced by a look of cheerfainess, the mind ceases to despond, and ffesh is de veloped upon the attenuated frame. There is no exaggeration ir this statement. It is as true as that the systein ig subject to disease. Were proofs required to substantiate the re- aiity of the comprehensive effects of the Bitters, there is probably not in existence a medicine in favor of which such & m4ss of concurrent testimony, from the most respect- able sources, coald be adduced. But the effi- cacy of the nation’s alterative and invigorant has been a matter of universal knowledge too long to need any such corroboration.

[FROM OUR-OWN CORRESPONDENTS, | Omana, Suly 6~-The extensive reading yen my letter on “lorest Saving,” published The World recently, encourayes me to write something on “forest Growing.” It is not 80 difficult as many people imaginé to grow forest timber. The Jack of correct information on this subject is, I believe, to a great extent the reason why so little timber is planted. If far- mets only knew how to plant and when. aad what to put out, many of them, I believe, would raise trees, é? THE ASH. The ash‘is one of the very best trees for for- est culture; It grows rapidly, is easily raised and ofgreat money value. Mr. Holleubeck, of Nebraska, has, in Douglas county, a piece of ashtimber be planted in 1561, and many of the trees now measure Jb inches is circumlerence and are over 30 feet high. Mr. Budd, of lowa, has a grove that has done still better. Hesays ten acres, thinned to 6 feet apart, contained 12, 000 trees, and at twelve years of age were 8 inches in djameter aud 35 feet high. the wood from thinning paid all expenses of planting and ealtivation, The bodies ofthe trees cut out sold for 40.cents each and the tops were worth ten cents more. Ten acres of this timber, twelve years old, was estimated to be worth $6,090. Young ash, if cut low at eight years of ageand.a light furrow turned over the stumps, will sprout and be ready for a second in eight years. Mr. Budd says ten acres of black-ash planted for hoop poles ia rows four feet apart, may be half-trimmed in five years, and at 3 cents per pole will yield $1,620. The remaining half, or 54,000 poles, cut two years later for large hoop poles, at 6 cents per pole will yield $4,360. The ash seed should be sown in the fall in rows two feet apart and covered with oné iach of earth. In winter scatter a lit- ter of straw three inches deep over the ground. The straw should be renewed early in the spring. - The plants will grow assoon as the froxt is gone and be twelve to fourieen inches high by fall This will make an admirable nursery, from which the trees should be transplanted when | ae year old and set out in the forest ground four feet apart. Work the ground the aime as for corn and keep the weeds down. The closer the trees are planted the straighter they will grow and be tree from lower limbs. THE WALNUT. The walnut is a favorite tree and very nseful. It grows adgirably in rocky ground, and thrives best ia land with a yellow subsoil, To prepare the land, furrow out as if tor corn and drop the walnuts ope in a hil!, four feet apart. Cover lightly with = hoe or plough. The seed should be planted soon after it falls from the tree, and is best dr with the hull on. Ifthis can- not be done bury the seed—but by no means allow it to dry. Seed is also good dropped in Febiuary and covered in the spring. The trost eracks the walnut-shell and the sprout will start out acon after being covered in April or May. Forty acres of walnut timber will yield the far- | mer in ten.years more than i! the land is plan- ted every season in grain, ‘Ihe trees will grow the first year ten or twelve inches, the second thirty and the third year, four to five feet. The first and second year the ground may be plan- ted between the rows with potatoes or corn and it will not hurt the young trees, walnut striking a deep root and drawing its sustenance from the subsoil. To make the trees bear nuts early dig under anf cut the tap-root. Fruit trees that do not bear may also be made to bear by cutting their main of top roots. Mr. Hollenbeck has a- grove of forty acres of walnut planted in 1865 and the trees average 22 inches in circumference and are 25 fyet high. Many of them bure nuis four yearsifier planting and six years from nting thé’trees had a peck of nuts each.— ree bushels of walnuts with the hulls on will plant an acre four feet apart, or one and three- quarter Ditshels hulled will plant the same amount of land. SUGAR-MADI.F., Mr. Pingey, an experienced tree grower, gays an acre of sugar maples at twenty-tive years of age will avérage one toot in diameter ‘and pro- duced 2,000 pounds of suyar annually. When the trees measure twenty inches they will give 60,000 feeLof lumber worth $2,500, besides a great deal of fuel. A peculiarity of this tree is its body f¢reases in size fuster than the top.— It can thefefore be planted very closely. Two hundred trees will grow on an acre. “Maple- seeds ripens in Qetober and shonld be planted in rows the same as ash, but not so thickly. Af. ter areal ajlow the tree to stand two years in the nursery.and then transplant to ground where it is to grow permanently, - SOFT MAPLE, The softfmaple in its wild state, an uncouth and ecraggy tree when grown closely ina cul- tivated ggpve, is much improved in appearauce and a mosteuseful trees, | have seen numerous Seog well shaped, and eight and ten feet ight at three and four years of age. In Non- oma county, [uwa, maple trees, seven vears old | from the seed, were large enough to make three | ten foot rails, and an acre yielded 3,000 rails, | This timber is always in great demand for man- | ufacturingparposes. It beats the walnut three ears in a ggowthof ten years, The seeds ripen in June, a should be sown in mellow ground as soon ag f fall. Plant oneand a half inches deep with drills, in rows twenty inches apart. They will gome up in six days. Keep the weeds oug watil the plants get a good start,— The first year they will grow eighteen or twen- ty inches, They should be transplanted the next eprieg and set out 2.700 to the acre.

In the spring plant the chestnuts in rows three feet apart, and drop éhe nuts, like potatoes, six inches apart, covering them with only Balf an inch of soil.— In the fall, before frost, cover the young plants with a litter-of straw "six inches deep.” They should be transplanted when one year .old.— This tree has always been considered bard to ratse, but it has been becanse it was net under- stood. Treatedin the way I have described, twelve chestnuts will raiseeleven trees. Box ELDER. This tree is considered a Western production, but it will grow in almost any State if properly treated. It isa beautiful specimen of forest growth, and to my eye the handsomest shade tree in existence. It will grow fifty feet high, and if planted thickly be sraight. About half the seeds are false, and not over three in ten will germinate, hence it must be sown very thickly. Sow in the fall in shallow furrows and cover only one and a halfinches deep with earth, The young plants must be protected during the fall and winter with a coyering of straw. Plant them out inthe spring four feet apart, and they will grow the first year ten to sixteen inches. I have -een a nursery two ears old six feet high, and the plants one inch in diameter. Box elders, eleven years old, measured thirty inches in circumference, and were thirty feet high. BIRCH. Of this tree there are two kinds—the white or European birch and the American canoe birch. ‘The latter is connected with the legends of our Indians, andts emphatically a tree of romance and poetry. The birchen rod, too, has had much to do with our public schools, and most of our great men have been soundly thrashed with it when boys. Both European and American Lirch grow to large size in north- ern latitudes. When planted thickiv the young birch grows up very straight and gracelul, Who of us when farmer boys have not cut a birchen rod for our line and with raised the ; speckled beauties from their native stream ? Birch makes excellent fuel and is valnable for cabinet work. In northern Mitchigan the canoe-birch grows toa height of seventy feet. Its bark is white and the trec highly ornamen- tal. Seed can always be obtained in Winconsin. The seed-bed should be light, sandy loam, and ‘the seed should be covered but lightly aad well | sheltered from the sun until the plants are two | : ‘or three inches high. HICKORY, This emblematic tree of America are repre- sentative of the character of one of our greatest men will always be a favorite with the people, not only on account of its history but its valna- ble nut-bearing qualities and its woud. The shellbark is the best for planting, either for wood or fruit. If planted for nuts it should be kept in the nursery unul two or three years old, and then transplanted. To make it bear |early, dig under and cut the tap-root as close to the surface as possible, For timber and rapid growth in transpMoting, lig the holes deep and see the tap-root is put in perfectly straight. ; The nuts should be dropped four feet apart leach way, and if planted in ground where the trees are to remain the plants should Le thinned so as to keep the branches from touching, THE OAK, The most valuable of all trees. It ean readi- ly be raised from the seed, which should be gathered in the fall, after the acorns drop, The best month to gather seed is October, and it should be planted at once, or kept in acool, moist condition until spring. The vlants should be set out about eight fect apart, aad between the rows some upright growing tree can be planted as purses for the oad. These latter }should he ent away whenever It is necessary to make room for the oak. Burr oak and. chest- nut oak are best for fuel and red oak the best for rails. THE COTTONWOOD. This wonderful tree commends itself to all the Western beginners on account of its rapid growth and easy culture. It will grow almost anywhere, and never dies. It has held its own inthe West against fire, and even defies the axe of the woodman. Ifone is cut down, an- other springs up from the stump. I have often wondered why this tree, so tenacious of life and easily growr, has not been planted in the East. It would grow, | believe,in almost any of the Eastern States, and as the shade-three for cat- tle is unsurpassed. The young cutings are readily obtained from Western nurserymen and cost but a trifle. The cottonwood furnishes better shelter and fuel in a shorier time than any other treein America. There are cotton- woods growing near Omaha thirteen years old that measures 22 inches in diameter and 40 feet high. A thousand of these trees can be grown onan acre. Mr. Allen recently told me he had ; seen several acres of cottonwoode which grow several feet in one vear from the cuttings. As I write [ Jook out upon a cottunwood that | was planted in 1869, then no. thicker than | my thumb and as high as a man’s head, and now as thick as a man’s body and over thirty feet high. It has in fact become an imposing tree in six year, THE WILLOW. I would like to write a good deal about the willow, but the length of this communication warns me to be brief The white wiltuw is the most valuable of this variety. As awind break itcan be grown rapidly, and for protection o1 fartas from hot aud cold winds, Run, rain, sleet and snew, the willow cannot be over-rated. When planted singly it attains a growth of neventy to eighty feet in height with an im- mense trunk, but its value is most realized when planted in rows as road-shadea. What is pret- lier than an avenue of giant white willows with their grateful shade and long, graecful branches? articles are r¥dtie from this wood. A field of white elits planted in| Nebraska has done re- eae a Anavenue of these trees are unsurpa for road shade. The growth is rapid; they have tinely-shaped heads, and are | not easily damaged by insects or winds Two elms near Omaha, planted in 1559, now meas- ure thirty-four and thirty-six inches in cireum- ference four feet from the ground. Some tall- growing tree may be planted without them and cut away at the end of ten years. Elms should be set out eight feet apart. sRED ELM is the brother of the white elm. but it inhabite higher an@ dryer ground. Asa shade tree it is aplendid anc grows rapidly. The wood ia used for cartiayes, and also wakerexcellent fuel. Aree of this kind, planted in 1861, grew to be | twelve incheaiiu diameter in ten years, They are often, however, attached, by insects that burrow under tbe bark fur the sweet eap. HONEY LOCUST is an admirable hedge plant and a tree of great walue. On the river bottoms of Illincis honey locusts are found 80 to 100 feet high and 4 feet thick. Dr Warder, of Olio, thinks this tree is very valuable on account of its rapid growth. He sold one acre of locust fifteen years old fur $1,000. The wood is moch used for paving #treets. .A lognst ia Omaha, planted twelve years ago, wweagured 31 inches 4 feet from the ground, and-is 36 feet hizh. The thornless lo- cust is best for forests and the thorny variety for hedges, 5° “svt ° PEE CHESTNOT. ’ i; 5 A ifiul tree and a favorite with nearly every one; A.Jot planied in- Mount Pleasant, Ia. clevan.tenie ago, are now. making a better return. than the same number of acres in or- etard. nes chestnut trees for four «ears olGy ha seeds haye born fruit.

A eb may bé cut down at ies or years of age, arid in twelve years it 1 know of several miles of willow wind-breaks which are five years oid from the cuttings, and form a perfect wind-break 15 feet high. A farmer in Douglas County, Neb., has four miles of willows, two yeara old, and at four years of age they are a complete protection from storins and inroacs of stock. Willow cuttings are best made in the fall, and should be tied in bundles and buried in a dry place under a foot of earth. Keep them cool in a cellar, and as soon as the ground in the spring will permit plough a deep furrow and set out the cuttings against the land aide, while a second man follows with a spade, filling in the earth and pressing it down firmly with the foot. The xoil should be pressed as closely about the plants as possible. Cuttings should be sct ont so asto leave two or three [inches out of the earth. With proper care in planting an] keeping down the weeds not over 5 per cent, of the plants will be lost; yet this is considered one of the hard trees to raise. A belt of willows planted along the side of an or: chard near Nebraska Gity sheltered it from frost. A severe frost had occurred a few days before ny informant saw the belt of wil- lows, damaging the fruit blossoms greatly, and along the side where the willows were growing fifteen to twenty feet high few peaches were killed while on the north side where there were no willlows, the peaches were a total failure. The reason of this war that when the sun had its full power the temper&ture rose to such an extent that as soon as the cold air of evening, peculiar to Northern latitndes, set in, that locality was first to feel its effects and seffer most from frost. I should like to notice some other varieties of trees, but have already written more than I intended and for fear of wearing the‘reader will now cloae my letter. There is no secret abont forest cnl- ture. Any man who can raise potatoes and corn can raise trees, if he will only take the tonble to plant and_ cultivate them a little. We have got tocome to the forest. planting, some time, and the sooner we begin the better. The land has been robbed of its noble woods and they can only be replaced by forest culture. It is not after all 80-difficult to replace them, but we should begin at once. The man who plants a tree by that act becomes a publie ben- eens t ture.

The ancient Hebrews, Egyptians, As- syriaus, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, all used one name for each individual.— Nor,did the rich recesses of the name- mine yield its treasures till broken intu by Lnuterous hosts of increasing, population, all clamoring for a name. The Romans made some advancement in names, and gaveto their commonwealth a division. into clans or gentes. . The gentes were then divided jnto families, into individuals, each of whom had _ three names; the prenomen, or first name, which marked the individual; the nomen, or middle name, which marked the gens, and the cognomen, the family. Military suc- cesses added an agnomen, in honor of conquest. ‘The ninth day after the childs birth was celebrated by name and a feast which the Romans called Nominalia.— The Greeks used the tenth day, and offered sacrifice to their gods. Pytha- goras noted the success of men according to fate, genius, name. Plato an: Tacitus also believed in a prosperous name. Our surnames are modern. ‘The Pagan converts to Christianity dropped their Pagan names, and whole companies of Marys, Marthas, Johus and Peters were baptised at ouce. From this we can read- ily see the confusion of generality when one particalar Joho felt a very particalar preference for his particular lady love, Maury, and called to see her at the house of many other Marys. ‘The distinction necessary was found ina nickname sug- geated by the occupation of the individ- ual.

In the eleventh centary ths Normans ‘began to tranamit the sursame to decendants, and use the prefix Fitz, which is a corruption of fils, for sons; bence, Fitz Jamee, son of ‘ames Kussian vitch means son; Pant Petrovich, Paulson of Peter.

Very: respectfully, T. B. KInGsBuRY. od ASHEVILLE, June 1, 1877s: Editor Citizen :— As I was desiroww-of Jearriug something as to the advantages of asing convict labor on railroads, 1 some enquiries of Mr. J. A. Bisaner, . of Georgia, whom I~aeeidentally met. at Charlotte. Asconvicts have been «aged for some time in that State on plbffc work, he promised to secare fog me infor mation on the subject, Iu eénsequence of this, I received from him a day'or two since a letter endorsing a statement of Gen. Phillips, which contains much use- ful information, not only on this subject, but also in relation to a railroad enter- prise, which may interest our Westera counties. As the practical effect of using convict labor is a subject rather new in our State, itstruck me that you might think it worth while to publish General Phillips’ letter. Supposing that he would not object to its publicity, I place it at your disposal. Yours traly, &c., T. L. CLINGMAN. & hs MaRrreTrTa, Ga., May 26, 1875. Gen. Thomas L. Clingman: My Dear Sin: Mr. Bieener has just communicated your message with the re- quest that I give you a statement ‘“‘as to the working of our eor.victs in the con- struction af railroads” Since the war our Penitentiary convicts have been bound out and by the lessee worked on railroads aud other public and private works. [he first lessee worked the en- tire force together and made fortanes. At the expiratiou of their term iu April of last year, different componies bid for giv- en nuscbers at different prices, and the conviets were farmed out to small compa- nies of lessees—some to be worked in coal and iron mines, others on railroads and farms. We have been trying since 1858 to build a railroad from this place via Ducktown and Marysville to Knox- ville and connect with the W. N. C. Ex. tention at Murphy. Our cotbpany be- lieving that with the econivct labor we could grade our road, and that the narrow guage was best, and that upon an anin- cumbered roadbed we could eecure iron and motive power on first mortgage bonds, organized a company of Icssees interested in the building uf the road, because of the development of the coun- try through which the road would pase, and the business it would bring to our little city. ‘Cbiscompany bid for 100 convicts and their pro rata of the iucrease, to be worked on the Marietta & North Georgia Railroad at 811 per anuum per capita, in feeding, clothing, guarding or working, and to care for the sick. The contrast aud obligations of the bond for the faithtul compliance with the terms preposed. The lessees then contracted with the railroad company to work this force on the road at the lowest cash prices for which work of the kind could be done and receive no other pay than actual uec- essary expenses, exeept stock in the road at par, the railroad company paying ali necessary expensesy and the profit being iu paid up stock. Out stock is divided inte shares of $25, payable in provisions, mules, horeee, cart and tools, at cash prices, and not more than $5 on the share to be assessed at any one time, and not then until 30 days notice was given in one newspaper. We commenced without one dollar, made our sutvey, located the road, aud now have 18 miles of the roac graded. Our sabacription list has never reached $50,000 rolvent stock owing to several diffieulties, the principle ones be- ing want of confidence in the ability of the people to baitd a railroad, and the capacity of the narrow guage lo meet the demand. I was prevented from attending your Centennial at Charlotte by a couveutiou of our stockholders and meetings ou the line of road. I believe that oar people now have confidence in their @bility to build the road on the plan propeted, and also confidence in the narrow gage. ‘I'he actaul expense of workiug our force the past two wooths was $800 per mouth. This ineludes all the expenses of the con- tracting company, but not the salaries of ‘the officers ot the road. In this force we have cight good rock masons, who baild our culverts; two excellout blacksmiths and two wagon makers, who repair carte, tools, ete.; a shoemaker and harucss mas ker, who make and repair the and several good cokpeptors. Wecan do all the work of any kiad ineludiug the bridges and tes, and it ought not to cost more than we paid the last two months to. work the convicts after the equipments are onced turnished. ‘I'hen it is best la- bor in the world, and if properly managed tbe least troublesome.

The'two males before the covered wagon leaned against each other for support, and a man having any kaoowledge of mules, would have said that a luneh of scrap- iron would have been a God send to then. There was a big dog under the wagon, and he Jocked around in a suspicions, frightened way, as if expecting an attack fiom some quarter. Peeping out from the wagon was a wo- man and three children. Her face was as yellow as ochre and as sharp as a plantation boe, and if the cbildren had a bit of bacon for months pag, their fooks didn’t show it. ond ‘ “We're a sad family’’ replied the .man as he returned from the grocery with a pound of crackers and a bit ot cheese. “Anything bad bappened” asked: the reporter. You see that woman in the wagon thar. Well, ehe weighed a hundred and sixty pouods when we struck Louisana, a year ago. Thar she is now, gone down toa sbadder, aud you couldu’t hear her holler across the road !” “Yea, she does look bad.” “And tbar’s three children—fell away to bones and bide aud ha’r. Thar’ used to be seven. ‘he rest ar’ planted over thar’ acrose the river !” “Well, that ia bad.” “And thars them mules,” continued the siranger, his voice growing bueky. “Phar was atime when they was jist ole lightning ; bad to tie ’em up ont door for fear they’d kick the stable down. They doo’t look Ike it now, bat they was once able to ruu a plow iuto the side so deep that it took a nigger a day bo dig down wo the handles !”’ “They seem worn out now.” “And gaze on that dog—on poor Timothy ! continued the man, brasbing atcar from the left eye—‘ihat’s what takea the pluck o’ me! When I brooght that dog from old Kentacky, the taller fried outof him as he walked, and wheu he sot his teeth on to anything, it bad to come or die. And what is he now? Whar’s his bouuden’ step, bis fat, his grace 7” “You had bad lack then 7” “Yee, things sot again’ as from the start. ‘Lhe rain drowned the crops out, the ager shook ua up stairs and down, fever tuok the children away, and the old woman and the mules and Timothy sot right down and pined away to the shaddera 7?” “And you are moving ?”’ “We're jogging,’ stranger, kinder jog- gin’ along and around, lookin’ fur a place to squat. The old woman eighs for Kai - tack, and Timothy be’d git up on bis hiad lege and howtif we w’ere pinted that way, but [ thonght we'd jog a little further.” “And will you scttle in Missiesippi 7” “Tl gece. They say the sile here is good and crops sure, but davno. If I git a good bit o’ land on sheers we'll stop and make dirt fly, but if I can’t we'll make for Kaintuck and keep jogging’ as long as the mules hold oat.” “Well I’m sorry for you’ said the re- orter. “Bleeged to you, stranger, I’ve tried to keep a stiff backbone, and I guess I kin see thia thing through, but when a fellow remembers what those males was, and then see ’em now, it’s ‘nuff to break his heart, to say nuthin’ about ‘l'imothy un- der the wagon, a dog who was bruvg up on the fat o’ the land, and who haint used to sorrow and griet !” And climbed into the wagon, pushed on the lines, and the males moved slowly on their way. — SCOTCH GIRLS. We question if a more beautiful sight can be seen upou thia wide world than the fashionable prowenade on Princess street, Edinburg, any sunny day about four v’elock. Jet the spectator take his eye from the picturesque glories of exquisite Jandseape, and Gx them upon the more beautiful of nature’s works who pass by him. ‘The writer promenaded upon one occasion during the past summer with an American gentleman of considerable taste; and, said he; “What I admire about your Scotch ladies ia their healthy looks and their bigh-bred faces.” He bad strack the right note. In the high bred air which he remarked he saw perfect health without vulgarity; ease of manner with uvapproachable dignity, elegance of _cos- tume with common sense, Scotch girls are educated for use, not show; to live a life of usefulness and pleayure to others and themselves. What they know they, have learved solidly.

He moved into Hillsborough township over a year ago, and bought cousiderable real estate, giving one farm to his daughter. He is said to have been quite lavish with his money—to such an extent that hia family became alarmed, and an effort was made by his daughter and son.iu-law to have him declared ingane and placed under guardianebip, but this effort proved a fail- are. Among his other eccentricities was his evident fondness for the society of young ladies, Or the Sth of July he be- came acquainted with a young lady from the Wes!, who, with her mother, was temporarily starving in Somerville, and who iv not yet oat of her teens, to whom he had made proposals of marriage. ‘The girl took one hour to cousider the matter, and then signified her acceptance, althongh, it is anid against the wishes of her motber, and Monday of this week the parties were united in marriage, the ceremony taking place in Plainfield—the motherin the mean time having become reconciled. I'fieen thousand dollars was the marriage portion of the bride, which sum was at one placed at her dirposal. ae A CuristIan GeNTLEMAN.—He is above a mean thing. He cannot stoop to a mean fraud. He invades no secret in the keeping of another. He betrays no secret entrusted to his keeping. He never strats in borrowed plumage He never takes selfish advantage of our mistakes. He uses no ignoble weapons in controver- sy. He never stabs in the dark. He is ashamed of innnendoes. He is not one thing to a man’s face, and another behind his back. If, by accident, he comes iu possesion of his neighbors’s counsel, he passes upon them anact of instant oblivion. He bears sealed packages without tamp~ ering with the wax. Papers not meant for his eye whether they flutter at the window, or be open before bim in un- guarded exposure, are sacred to him. He invades no privacy of others, however the sentiy sleeps. Bolts and bars, looks and keys, hedges and poekets, bonds and se~ cyrities, notice, treaspassers, are none of them for him. He may be trusted alone, out of sight, near the thinnest partition— anywhere. He buys no offices, be sells none, he intrigues for none. He would rather fail of his rights than win them through dishonor. He will eat honest tread. He tramples on no sensitive feel- ing. If he have rebuke for another, he is straightforward, open, manly ; he cannot descend to scurrility. In short, whatever he judges honorable he practices toward every man.- Selected. eo A Free anp Easy Costumg.- A Paris correspondent in the Baltimore Gazctte describes a loose, cool, and not costly toilet worn out ata reach sea side resort ; Berck is on the French coast, a short distance from Boulogne.

[Des Moines (lows) Journal.) On Saturday‘last Mt: Louis Walker died at West Liberty, leaving a widow. Previous to his death “he ‘¢xptessed ‘the earnest wish that if he died he might be buried” at his ‘old home, a short distanee sduth of Bevington, which is eighteen miles from Des Moines, on the Winterset road. With a heart full of love and affection aud weighted with sor- row and desolation the widow placed the body of thé late husband in a casket and passéd through ‘the city Ménday torniog: Arriving at Bevingtoo inquiry"? ‘residents as to the ‘Weality where” the! body Wis tu be'baried, the ‘widow being an entire ‘stranger to everybody." She was asked whose Body it was, wher’ it was discovered’ that the deéceased was’ the4 lawful husband of the daughter of the owner of the premiges where he requested to be baried, and who was then residing at her father’s. Of these facts the widow was ignorant, and the certain knowledge of the scene which mast follow the meet~ ing of the two wives of one husband under such circumstances induced some of the citizens to inform wife, No. .2 of the facts. She was at firat astounded, then mortified and indignant at the base déception which had been practiced upon ber. She in- structed the citizens te-take the body to the residence of wife No. 1, and taking the first trian returned to West Liberty, and the first knowledge wife No. 1 had of the matter was the arrival of the body at herresidence. Since ber-departure it has been discovered that Walker bas also a wife in Missouri, another in Ohio, and perhaps others elsewhere. — Oe . The North Polar Region. Io an article upon the occasion of the sailing of the new British discovery expe- dition to the north pole, the Londou Times says: “So what we really begin this 29th day of May, 1875, is io all probabilities a progressive series of operation for the discovery ot this planet’s most intractable and inaccessible quarter. At present there lies within a few weeks of us, and right between us and inhabited contigents, a cirele, 1,400 miles across, of which we know not even whether it be land or wa- ter, or in what respect it is affected by some conditions wholly different from oer refrigerator for the produetion of cold— that is, for the absorption of heat ? If wa: ter preponderate there, then the cold need not be go extreme as we imagiue; and just as the equator is not every where hot- ter than the tropice, just as the eastero hemisphere is warmer by 10° in north latitude than the western, and the norths ern hemisphere very much warmer than the eouthern, so even the arctic circle may have the benefit of some genial in- fluences. It bas at least bulf a year of continuous day. What if it be found suf- ficiently habitable for the establishment of stations in which the production and economy of heat will be the only serious difficulty ? Science is sangaine, bat it confesses itself to be hoping against hope as to the matter of its expectations. An animal or two, seeds that can stand any cold, some of the lowest forms of vegeta- ble life, and perhaps organisms iu the eea, the poesible revelation of an atmostphere completely clear of aqaeous disturbance, figure prominently in the catalogue of hope. If, as is suspected, there be ingre- dients in the earth’s atmcstphere too sub- tle for chemical analysis, the stectroscope may detect them in a region where ha- midity no longer embarrasees the question. Then what is the aurora? Is it of earth, or of heaven? Is it meteoric? Is it cos- mic? Does it reveal a universal mediam? Is ita magnetic phenomenon? At about the 70th degree of latitude the expedition will reach the other side of tho magnetic pole, and will have to steer by rules the contrary to our own, and becoming more and more complex till the needle points »| finally to the center of the earth. At the pole not only the compass, but even the aun, moon, and stars will cease to be available for the asaal purposes of obser. vation; that is, if anything shoald happen to the chronometers, for all will then Be pend on the preservation of Greeawich time. ‘T'he forlorn hope told off for the pole will have to mark its track very care- l fully if it would be sure of retracing its course back again. The geologists, ethnologist, and palwologist fret at their exclasion, but they must admit their chances would be. small indeed. They can wait, at all events. Perhaps the one hope widest felt and deepest is that of something unknown and unconjectured. Who woald haye guessed a few year ago that the interior.of Africa was populous and delightful, that the oevan was full of life and undergoing change, or that the elements and fabric of the sun would yield to analysie? The expedition is a lottery, iu whieh we know too well there are blanks, bat in which there are sure to be some prizes, perhaps one or two great ones.” .| The following is the ngmber of meet- ings held by Moody and Saokey in Lon- .| don during the past four months. with the aggregate-of ‘gttendanee: In Cam berwell'9@ meetings attended by 480,000 people; in Vigtoria, 45 jngs attended f} by 40,000; in the Opera , 60 meet- ings attended by 330,000; in the Bow, 60 méetings attended by 720,000: ‘The amount of moucey® for -buildiug, | Moody and Sankey have declined 19. rer caine saz.

Some of the newspapers, particularly those North, have been urging that Queen Victoria be invited to attend the Centen- nial in 1876. We like the idea, and can- not think of a good reason why the invi- tation should not both be given and accepted. Queen Victoria is a lady in the highest sense of the word; and we think it has been well said that her sub- jects love her more than they do royalty ; and allon account of ber high personal merits and gvoduess. No people in the wide world are more respectful and love ing towards the worthy woman than we Accricans, and none would bestow a more aincere homage to Queen Victoria, whose peaceful, happy reiga has beeo a blessing to the world. If she were to come ehe would not of course meet even the semblance of royalty to congratulate her; but she would receive the cordial greeting of an English speaking Nation, which she would prize even more thau the hollow devotion of tbe moat monareh- ical country ou earth. She loves the people and the people loves her; and all this independent of her official position. ——_—~<>o—__———_———- SauisBury, N.C. July 23d, 1875.

Ifyou are worth anything they will find out where you live, and if you never got a letter before you will get one now.

Wedo not want, we will not have, these second rate men Legging for na, We pro- j test against it” Referring to the Freemen’s Savings Bank, he said: ‘We have had a Freeman’s S:ving Jn- | stitute, but we don’t want any mvie. Our white friends told us that if we had cents to bring them to them and they would take care of | , [to el one year; and them. If we had dollars, or hundreds, or thous- anda, to bring them to them. They told us they had a goose and a golden egg. Yes, we put our millions there, but where are they now? The men who went into that bank a few years ago poor men are now domiciled in beau- tila! homes and drive their fine turnouts. It makes me feel badly to think how we have been gobbed. Just envugh:honest men have been put into the bank to insure its success, but while they put in two sound apples they slinped in five or six speckled ones, and were sure to tuin the specks down.’ He urged che colored people to stop begging for themselves, and if they built churches, not to ask the white people to pay for them. If they had banks, colleges and papers, not to ask other people to support them ; but be indepen- dent. Inconcluding he said: ‘We propose to cut loose from all indivious institutions; and to part company with all those wondering mendi- cants who have followed us simply for paltry gain, and we dnow bid an effectionate farewell to all these pluderere in the future If we need a Moses, we will find him in our own tribes.’ J ustice to Jefferson Davis. In allading to the enthusiastic reception whiels_ gx-President Davis received in ‘l'exas, the New York Tridune saya :— “The South laid down ite arms and ac. knowledged the defeat of the opinions fur which it was contending, but it has never abandoned ite hero-worehip or ceased to venerate the men who led its armics and its councils,” ‘The Augueta (Ga.) Chron- icle and Sentinel thug answers the com- mente of the Tribune. “If the ‘Tribune means by ‘hero-worship’ that the South- ern people bave not forgotten nor neg- lected the men whom they chose as their leaders because their struggle for indepen- dence proved ansuccessful, the South will promptly plead guilty to the charge.— "Their generals and their etatesmen are just as highly esteemed in defeat as if the cause had been victorious. “Nor is it right for the North to expect Southern men io regard their’ leaders as the aathors of their misfortunes. ‘They are not, If ever people went into a war advisedly, the Southern people did foar- teen years ago. Jf they were wrong they have only themselves to blame.. If their revolt was treason Mr. Davis was no more a waitor than the hawblest voter who asked Limto be President cf the Confederacy. General Lee was no more a traitor than the private soldier in bis army, whodared disease and death ia defence of the loat cause.” oo These are trathfal and just words. — They contrast most favorably with the meanness of the little creatures who flat- tered and fawned gpon Mr Davis when he had offices to give anda prospect of securing our independence, and who are now continually censuring the leadere of the rebellion. —_—_ ~~ ———_—— It is useless to-tell people not to Gil oil lamps after dark, and warn them never to pour kerosene on a slow fire to make it barn faster.

Ifthe amoant eaten is much iw exeees, the stomach, as if in ul- ter disconragement at the magnitude of its task, ceases its attempts at digestior, forthwith commences the process of eject- ing the tnataral load by means of nausea and vomiting jn some casea ; in others it retnains for an hour or more like weight, easy heaviness ; then itkegius fo “sour,” that is, to deeoui pose, to rot, and the diss gusting gas or Le comes up into the throat, caasigg mote or Teas of a scalding sensation from the pit of the stonmach to the throat ; thi is called “heart: burn.” At Jengih the half-rotved tixture {fs forced out of the moath by the outraged stomach with that horrible odor and taste with which every gimton is famitier.

The moral of this article is, that the man who forees bis food, he who eata withoat an inclina~ tion, and he who strives by touice, or bit. ters, or wine, or other alcoholic liquors, lo get up an appetite, is a sinner against body and soul—a virtual suicide. ——-Dr. Mall. ee KEEP IT BOFORS FRE PLP!

HENRY A. NELSON, D. D. We should not make it a gloomy day. An honest effort to keep it holy, is liable thas to degenerate. Beings conscious of sin find it vot always easy tq avoid ap association of sadness with whatever brings God near to them. But surely those whose sins are pardon ed may be delivered from this uatural tendency. The Christian Sabbath offere to Christian hearts the privilege, and fa- vorable opportunity of access to God, not in the terrors of his holiness, but in the plentitade of his grace, which Christ ha- made consistent with holiness. Chris: having died and again, coming forth trom the sepulchre ‘fradiaut in immortal bloom.’ our triumphant champion, our glorious deliverer, ready to ascend aud lead ot: way into the Heavenly mavsions, which he clajma as his own, is the principal object of our contemplation on bis own duy—“The Lord's day.” — We shonld cultivate the habit of direc- ting our minds to cheerful views--to the privileges, the joya,.the blessed aud glori- ous hopes of Curistiantty on this day.— Thus we make it truly 9 day «f t.

A HAPPY GATHERING. We are informed that the Grange meet- fing at Rowan Milis, ‘hursday, was a very pleasant oue to all. Nearly five handsed persons were present: Speeches were made by Mr. Mills, the head of the order jn this State; also Capt. Crawford. The dinner was fine and plentifal. Every. thing passed off orderly and well. It was our purpose to be present, but phe time slipped by “unbeknowenst.” fa” Rail Road or no Rail Road, there is pune thing that deserves honorable men tion : it ia the ovble effort pat forth hy Ooi. P. N. Heilig, J. W. Mauney, Esqr., and Mr. Theo. F. Kluttz, in behalf of the Road. These gentlemen all did good gervice, and their ability, courteous bear- ing, ang honesty of purpose have been gecognized and appreciated by the people. They will never regret the action they dave taken.

It is of course yet uncertain as to what the sesa}t of the election to-day will be, put after a careful survey of the field, we feel confident, as we have felt all the sime, that the people will rise npand pat the seal of their condemnation upon rottep Radicalism, Civi)] Rights, and corsuption jn office 80 far as North Carolina is con- perned. We know that there is much to gontend with every where; that the blun Mers ofa weak Legislature have been great obstacles in the way, but “we have faith in the people, and we Lelieve ‘that they, notwithstanding the juexcusable ard feolish action of a weak aud timid leg- felature, will proclaim to-day in tavor of Oonstitutional reform, and of good and abeap government in the Old North State. We believe for the Demecrats of Worth Carolina that the bright and beau- Stal eau of this morning was “the sun of Auusterlitz,” and that it will go down upon par-people this evening leaving them puri- fied, disenthralled, and redeemed. If these eorjectures are correct, as we hope and trust they may turn out to be, the election at toxday will mark an epoch in North Oarolioa, from which wil] date the begin- ning of anew era of prosperity for our people. If it should turn out otherwise —if Radicalism should triamph,— we sboald not become dispirited, but contin- we to struggle on for the right and for the sucgess of Democratic principles antil we achieve the victory.

Albert Sidney Jobnston, to en- force his cluims.—There had been great turbulenee in Utah ; numerous outrages on emigrants by persons in the guive of Indians bad been ascribed to the Mor- mons ; and the Gentile Judges of the Federal Courts bad left the Territory, which in fact was in a state of rebellion. The question of armed resistance to the troops was seriously discuesed, though subrequently this idea was abandoned. During this period of excitement, name- ly, in August, 1857, a large train of emi- grants on their way to California reached Tt wae the finest train that had ever attempted the overland Several elegaut carriages were amoug the vehicles for the aecommoda- tion of ladies of the party, and there were many woman and children inthetrian.

According to the commonly accepted story of the slaughter, the emigrants were attacked while encamped by Indians, who had been set apou them by Mormons, and by Marmons disguished as Indians, and ten or twelve men were killed before uy one understood they were in danger. ‘The remainder of the party at once seized their arms, intrenched themselves behind their wagons, and prepa:ed for a deter mined revistance.

The evidence produced in the pending trial goes to show that this account of the masaacre is substantially correct. Phillip K. Smith, one of the defendaute, who ®as Mormon Bishop at the time of the massa cre, appeared a8 State's evidence, and gave a fall description of the slaughter, with all its horrible details, ax well as an account of the deliberations among the Mormon leaders which preceeded the butchery, in which, against his will, as he says he was forced to participate. massacre was reaolved on by Mormou bishops and councillors, Lee and W H. Dame being among the most conspicuous in planning aud executing the crime The description which Smith gives of the slaughter fully confirms all that bas here- tofore been reported of its barbarous char- mediate death. Territory at the time of the murder were known, unprejudiced perso..s has been that the act was committed without the knowledge of Young, who, it was thought, was cer- tainly too shrewd a man to countenance such atrocious treachery and cruelty to innocent women and children. dence of Smith, however, if it is to be credited, proves that Brigham Young was distinctly swears that in eompavy with Lee and another man, be called on Young in Salt Lake City, Lee having previonsly reported the facts in from him instructions as to the disposition of the property captured from the mar- dered emigranta, aud at the same time a warning agaiust talking about the affair, even among thetmeelves. In 1859, Judge Cradlebaugh, a Federal Judge appointed b7 Buchanan, attempted to bring :he perpetrators of this horrible crime to justice, but tailed. wheiber the present trial will reault in the conviction of Lee and his associates, since is said that some of them are near rela- tives of persons who are deeply implica- ted in the murders. Boyton to Swim the Hellesport. Captain Boyton, in compliance with the invitation of the International Mari- time Exhabition in Paris, has consented to go over to France with the Lord May- or of London’s party on the 12th August, Rhyne and Danube. He also proposes bis safety dress, a feat performed by Lord Byron. Don Juan Byron says of his hero: A better swimmer you could see never, He could, perhaps, have crossed the Heller- rt port. As once (a feat on which our-selves we prided ) Leander, Mr. Ekenhead, and I did. The actual distance is not above a mile, bat the rapid current renders it hazardous. Lieutenant Ekenhead, who was Byron's companion en this occasion, swam acroas in one hour and five minutes; Byron took five minutes more, bat had not been able known up to 1821 to have swam across the Hellespurt. ‘These, Byron says in one of his létters, were ‘a Neapolitan, young Jew, Mr Ekenhead, aud myself.’ Considerable interest has been exciied by the anoouncement of Captain Boyton’s intention to pass in this manner from Eu- rope to Asia.”’— Whig. Thirteen Black Dogs. Last evening nineteen beet cattle came They were in charge of two boys aud four dogs—big and unclean, and one of them was yellow. with long sticks stolen from a Jamber pile. As the procession entered King street ten city dogs with tails aloft and ears elevated ran after the country dogs, and they halted. The ten visiting dogs were black, and three of the coantry dogs were black, which made exactly a baker’s dozen black dogs. They kicked up an imprompta fight in about forty seconds, which alarmed the cattle, and with one aceord they bowed down their heads and advanced an the quarrelsome eanines.— and the atmoephere was full of icking, and howling, air.

This is generally a very delicate and tedious task. In the effort to plow as closely as possible so as to lessen the work uf epading, we are apt to get too close and inar the trees with the whiffle tree or yoke. ‘I'o avoid this I have adop- ted the following plan: Hitch the team to a front bob sleigh, then lash a stick acrosg, letting it project eighteen inches on the near side; attaeh the plow to the end of thie; one ranner will follow the near horse in the furrow; the plow can then be perfectly controlled, and I can plow every inch of the ground without maiming a single tree. ‘The dirt is then spaded back to each tree. In an orehard of 1,000 trees this saves an’ immense amount of labor. Any person can a‘just the stick to suit himself.

The Lieutenant is only 22 years of age, and his appearance would not indicate that he had passed bie 18th summer. He was billed to speak at Wolfeeville, 12 miles from Monroe, and a goodly crowd had assembled to hear ‘‘words of truth and sobernese.” Among the crowd who had assembled to be ad- vised as to how they shoald vote in the coming election, were many old farmers— disciples of the great lights of the State— wen who had sat at the feet of Graham and Reid, and Gaston and Morehead and Ruffin, as Paul satat the teet ot Gamaliel; and when they saw this adolescent Rad- ical sprig, these old fellows bought bim some candy and chewiug gum, and giving it to him, said, “There now, sonny; that'll do, run along home like a good bor!’ and Johonie came along home and we notice that he aiv’t billed tc make any more speeches.—Char.

The ‘Lost Cause.” There have been mountains of nonsense, written and spokeu, on the subject of “the lost cause,” as the failure to defend Soathern civilization is cailed. “The sim- ple truth is, the South made two fatal mistakes ia the matter in issne—first in the modes selected, the separation of States, and second, in the surrender of the Southern armies.

The outrage on the Wife-of Colonel Mer. Subsequent Advantages. New Yorx, July 22.—The woman who was outraged Tuesday night on the tugboat Mike Norton is about 28 years old, shabbily dressed, but of refined and delicate appearance. She told the police captain that ber name was Louisa Merrit, the wife of Col. Merrit, of the army, and that about three weeks ago she made her escape from A LUNATIC ASYLUM NEAR WASHINGTON, called St. Elizabeth's Asylum, bat better known as the Government Hospital for the iusane. She had become confined there by her husband, she said, a year ago last September, in order to break her of the habit of eating morphine at the time mentioned. Sbe managed to make her eacape through a hole in the wall, and went to Alexandria, Virginia, on foot; from there she went to Baltimore, and thence to Philadelphia, where she remain- ed some days. Shethen sold a heavy gold ring she had in her possession, and procared a few necessary articles of cloth ing. She eaw in the Philadelphia news» papers that Detective McDevitt, of Wash ington, was in the city and fearing that he might be looking for her determined 89 away atonce. She therefore took the train for Jersey City, where she arrived: on Tnesday morning. Hoping to find a sitnation, she looked over the advertise- menis in the daily papers, and saw that a stewardess was needed on a steamer and she came to New York to apply for the position. She lost ber way during the day, and at last when she altempted to return to Jersey City, BECAME BEWILDERED. and wandered aimleesly about. Near 11 o'clock at night she found herself in South street, and while standing ou a corser was approacbed by a man who asked her what she was doing there. She told hin her story and he said he was agent of the veesel she was looking for, and told her he would take her on board. She then went with him to the tag Mike Norton and entered the cabin with bim. After ehe had been there a sbort time four other men made their appearance. THE ASSAULT WAS MADE. The moment she effected her escape she sought the protection of the first patrolman | she met, who took her to the police station. | It wae with grea difficulty that tbe pos | lice captain could get ber to tell ber story, as she said that she did not want ber | troubles to be made public, and that all | she desired was to be allowed to go away iu safety. She had appealed to the | officer for protection only. A balf dozeu coarse cotton haukerchiefs found in her possession are marked “CU, E. Waldron.” She accounted for this Ly saying that she bought them in Philadelphia, and bad them so mirked because she proposed to take that name, as she had a brother ins | law by the name of Charles E. Waldron lin Boston. Besides the hankercheifs A QUANITY OF MORPHINE was fouod in one of her pockets, and the police captain says be thinks she was uu- der its influence at the time she was brought into the station. He says that ber mauner and language indicated that she isa refined aud cultivated lady, though evidently suffering from the exce-sive use of morphine. A medical examination disclosed the fact that she has two severe wounds on ber arms.

Do you call to mind the story of Dido, Princess of Tyre? Her bosband, Acerba, priest of Hercales was murdered for his wealth by the King of Pygmalion, brother to Dido. The widowed princess was enabled to es- cape from ‘T'yre, bearing with her the wealth of her hueband, and accompanied by a number of disaffected nobles. After a variety of adventures they landed upon the coast ot Africa where Dido bargained with natives for as much | land as she could incloge in a bull’s hide. Selecting a lurge tough hide, she caused it to be cut into the smallest possible threads, with which she encloeed a large tract of country, on which the city of Carthage soon began to rise. ‘The natives were bound by the letter of their bargain, and allowed the cunning queen to have her own way; and after that, when any one played off a sharp trick, they said had he “cut a Dido.” That was almost three thousand years ago, and the saying has come down to aur day. Purify the Springs of Life, It is a sine qua non of health, that the sources of vitality, the “springs of life,” should be free from contamination. The fluids which. by their action upon the food, transforms it into blood, and the great vital nutrfent itself, must be pure, ifthe muscles, the bones and the brain are to be properly nouished and kept vigor- ous. To this end the stomach, the liver, the bowels and the kidneys should perform unin- terruptedly their various functions, since if these are disturbed the vital fluids speedily become vitiated. The best, nay, the onLy blood depurent which purifies them, by over- coming those bodily irregularities which pro- duce them, is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.— The principle upon which this salutary alter- ative acts is as simple as it is philosophic. The origin of most diseases, and invariably those which affect the organs above mentioned, is weakness, caused by insufticient assimilation of thefood. The Bitters speedily rectify the cause of the difficulty by restoring vigorous digestion, so that all parts of the physical structore are supplied with an abundance of pure, rich blood.

This proved to bea lie, however, forthe watch was found returned to its former place on the mantel. Garolina Military Institute Char- lotte. We are in receipt of a copy of the cata- logue of this floarishing Institution for 1874-’75. There were 125 Cadets in attendance the last semiog: “The arrangements for instructions here are ample, and the Superintendaat, Col. Jobo P. Thomas, bas bat few, if any, superiors a@ an instructor. Accidents.—Dr. J. W. McCorkle, of this eounty, was thrown from his buggy near Moores- ville, a few days since, and had his ankle dis- leeated and the small bone of the leg broken. Mr. John W. Marlin was aleo throwp from hie baggy in this vicinity Monday morning last, and pretty badiy bruised in the face, and on the limbs of the right aide. Faaurr’s Prow:—We heard Mr. Jobn L.

The Valuable Candidates.—Moses Brown, Eeq., who is anold crier of sales was asked to make the announcment for the candi- dates’ speaking at Providence, last week. With the foree of habit strong upon him, Moses cried owt with a lund voice, “Ob yes, oh yes gentle men walk-this way and hear the valuable, the epeak.” That was one compliment the candidates got aayway. ‘Are they Privileged !—Are drays and dtayman possessed of any special immunitigs, that they can charge through the streets at ligthing speed, deafening everybodys ears with t@itpaise, run down and break up citizen’s buggies £c.,$ We'd like to know.

By iavitation, this distifiguished gentleman addressed the people of Salisbury, on the great importance of the County subscription to the Yadkin Rail Road, yesterday afternoon and night. We have never heard better, more practical, more convincing, or more honest speeches. Though late in the coniest, this visit will not be without good effect, as the vote tu-day will show. At the conclusion of of Maj. T’s. remarks at night, Judge Wa't, and Col. Thos. B. Long, were bronght into the meet- ing amid tremendous applause, and each made capital speeches in favor of the Rail Road. Col. Long was particularly eloquent, graphic. ally so, in speaking of our good old town, coun- ty and State, and earnest in his appeals to all to come out on the side of progress, and assiat in developing our great resourzes. The Speaking Yesterday,— Yesterday was certainly a day of speeches in Salisbury. At ll A. M- Judge Watts, alias “Greasy Sam,” mounted the rostrum and for more than an hour cavorted and anticed to the amusement and good humored disgust of the crowd. Hon. F. E. Shober replied to him, and we can con- ceive of no greater difference than there is ' between the two men,—the one little, mean. | monkeyish, the other high-toned, gentlemanly, | and dignified. With a few well directed strokes Mr. S. touehed off G. S. and then proceeded to discuss the Convention question, in an able and convincing manner. Nextcomes Dr. I. W. Jones, who lucubrated lugubriously. He made himself awful ugly, but didn’t accomplish much else. Next came our talented young friend J. S. Henderson, Esq., who made an able effort, and fully came up to the highexpectatione of his hosts of friends. Capt. Jno. A. Ramsay wound the thing up in a few Websterian sentences. Sunday School Pic-Nic at Thyatira.— | We arrived on the grounds about halt past 10 |o’clock and found a large concourse of people | gathered in the beautiful grove that surrounds |the church. Here and there you would find the young people in groups reclining under the shade of those lovely trees, with their faces lit up with oright smiles anticipating the pleasure of the day, which was to begin 80 soon. At ll o’clock they were summoned by the bell to assemble in the church, which was soon dune, then the exercises began. . Rev. J. A. Ramsay. who bas this large Sun- day Schoolin charge announced that they wonld sing sevcral of their favorite Sunday School songs, then form a line, and march sev- eral rounds in the grove, thence into the church, where they would be addressed by Dr. J. G. Ramsay, who had been chosun to address the children on this occasion; after which they were to furm a line again and inarch to the table which was to be spread inthe grove, This was the programme for the morning. which hore commenced immediately. They sang | witbout the aid of any instrument, and sang | well. We shall not forget soon the feelings which crept over us as they sang ‘Beautiful Zion.” It seemed to echo and re-echo as its putes swelled and ebbed through the forest. It broaght back many tender emotions of by gone days. They then formed a line and commenced their mareh. After exercising some time they drew up in front of the church and went through a series of counter marches, right, left, inner and oater. Weare not sufficiently drill- ed in tacties to explain farther this amusing march. Marehingintothe church they were much interested by Dr. Ramsay, who obtained their undivided attertion while he was speaking. His speech was very appropriate and pleased every ope. After singing several more songs they marched to thetable, which was about one hundred yards long, and ladened with good things to the over flowing. We never saw a@ better filled table at any pic-nic. It was beau tiful to see this procession of bright faces, one hundred and seventy-five strong, march to the end of the table and divide, going on either side. We did not stay long to observe this, fur they did not filltbe table, and having @ pressing invi'asion (by some of the fair ones, to whom we are indebted for most of vur enjoy- ment of thisoceasion,) we did not hesitate to help them fill the spare room at the table. After thus feasting for au hour they again scattered through the grove. We are not sure but that some “little speectes” were made du ring the afternoon. We had our eye onseveral, but wout tellon themjustyet. This beautiful silvan scene was disturbed by the bell, calling us to the closing exercises of the day, which was singing and prayer. Then they dispersed, all feeling happier and better for their day’s evjoyment. ———_—= Tele hic---this Mcrn- grap ing.

The Public Health Asgociation of New York, Dr. Stephen Smith, Health Coms missioner, President, held a regular meet. ing last evening at the Medical Journal Hall, 107 East T'wenty-eighth street. A paper was read on “I'he sewerage question, and the dry earth method of treativg re- fuse.” The lecturer embodied a_ history ct the success of the earth closet in Eng- land, India and America. He maiutain- ed that nearly all typhoidal diseases are dependent upon the excremental pollution of the air for their origin and transmiesion. Diphtheria, cerebroespinal meningitis, con- vulsions, diarrhoea, and indigestion are largely traceable to the same source. Murry Hill suffers from this equally with Baxter street, iu spite of patent sewer- traps. Gas presses most at the highest outlets. Some of the laboratories here and in Europe are useful, but ‘sewerage irrigation’ isa failure. Disease spreads with the spreading of the crude fertilizer and the luxariaut crop poisons the animals ihat eat it. The earth closet will snper- cede all rivals iu the country and small towns within twenty years. Finally it will be ased ir cities, unless we prefer, like Babylon and Rome, to tend the strength of oor goil into the rivers and make the land a desert. Already the deportation of soil in the form of cotton, grain, vobac- co, &c., hue made barren a large part of the country. The remedy is to consume prudacta where they are raised, returning all debria to the soil. Dry earth almost miraculously disinfeets and disintegrates, retaining all fertilizing qualities ; while peudrette has lost much of its strength be- fore reaching the factory. Municipalities should enforce this system, asin Kngland. In Lancaster and other English towns formerly afflicted with typhoids these maladies have been much diminished by the earth closet. The jaile, hospitals, prisons, and barracks of the Bombay, Madras, and Bengal presidencies, of India, all use the dry earth system with great succesé, in epite of tropical heat. It ia used in Centra] and Prospect parks and in thousands of homes. ‘The New York, Chieago, and Boston Boards of Health recommend it. Let uabe wise. ‘‘Rome,” said Liebig and Vietor Hugo, ‘‘put Italy in her sewer, then Sardinia, then Northern Africa, and then eeared to rale the world. —N. Y.

Ball, about two handred persons assembled at the scene of the murder and an impressive sermon wae preached by the Rev. Mr. Howard, who said the meeting was in honor of one who beld her virtue dearer than her life, and died in its defence. He held that every mao is bis brother’a keeper, and that all should unite for common defence and the suppression of crime under Christian precepts. The Union Investigation So- ciety was well represented, and the little papils of the murdered girl decorated with floral tributes the place where she was foaud. The bushes all around were hung with crape, and the curious scene was most solemo and impressive. — — ao A bashful and not over-educated fellow went to see his girl the other night, and as le atarted away be put bis arms around her aud whispered io her ear ‘dearest, I love;” and she responded sweetly, “ditto,” meaning, of course, @ reciproeation of his tender passion. The young man coald. not find ‘ditto’ in his voeabulary, and asked his father the next day as they were hoeing cabbage, what it meant.— The old gent rested a moment on his hoe, and pointed to the cabbage in front of him with the remark: “You see that cab- bage ?’ ‘Yes;’ responded the youth. ‘And you see the next one there?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘Well that ie called ‘ditto.’ sapere ee exclaimed the impetacas youth, ‘she cal led mo s cabbege head,’ y WC Se . pee Ue 28d, 1975.

A correspondent of the Department of Agriculture says: It appears from remarks by different writers that none kuew of any certain remedy. I know of a rethedy that is safe and certain, discovered in the following way: About thirty vears ago a friend lost by bots a very fine horse. He took from the stomach of the dead tiorse about a gill of bots brought them tu my office to experiment upon. He made preparations of every remedy he had heard of and pat some of them into each. Most bad no effect, a few affected them slightly, bat sage tea more than anything else; that killed them in fifteen hours. He conelu- ded that he would kill them by using them thar water; the third day they were a8 lively a3 when pnt in. A bunch of tansy waa growing by my office. He took a handful of that, bruised it, added a little water, squeezed out the janice and put some in; they were dead in one min- ute. Since then I have given it to eyery horse I have seen affected with bots, and have never known it to fail of giving en- tire relief. My friend had another Lave affected with bots several years later,— He gave him the tansy in the morning and a dose of salts in the evening; tke next moruing he took up three half pints of bots.

Last Canto aketcoed a sermon preached— For there are times when all men, 'Gsinst Satan matched, quote seriptures fetched From far, like solemn, tall men! As when, young blood, in jest I wooed A maiden multifarious In years and hair false-curled, “My dear,” Bhe said, “Now are you say-ri-ous ?” That ancient maid! when thus she said, “Dear Aidward, are you serious ?” ], saucy dog and worse than hog, Laughed in her face mysterious | I should have been compelled to join The monks’ Carthusian order— To pay a fine in my own coin For such a cruel murder ! And yet this life, it is no joke, And love, it is no dream, sir; Though Wit may oft be Wisdom’s cloak, And Cupid oft grow tame, sir!” “A little nonsesce, now and then,” A classic writer stateth, “Is relished by the best of men” — Too much, a stink createth ! And so I needs must interlard These Cantos, mischief-ringing, With texts that count and sense that’s hard, And hymns the saints are singing Out on the shores celestial, where, Dressed up, we go each Sunday, And then forget, and thoughtless swear A little, ’cause its Monday ! Again, my reader, Colonel, Squire, I'm feelin mighty solemn, And hope I wont excite your ire, Should I sing, in this column, Some saw-sole-lay and doe-ray-mar, Shaped nvute and pesky roundhead, Which last, they say ’s the donkey bray On which true music’s founded ! Bome roundheads, 0! they're never slow To prove their faith by works, sir! All keys they sing at sight, and ring All chords, like Gabriel’s clerks, sir! They scorn to atart the score by heart, Like ignorant buckwheaters | And yet for tall, a dozen’s all The tunes in round-head metres ! 'Twixt Goth and Han, just six for one— Half-dozen for the other ! Each lazy son of a big pep gun Is Humbug’s own twin brother ! Bome folks, astride of Gilpin’s horse,— Ba!d Ignorance his rame, sir,— Will gallop on from bad to worre— Conceit their only claim, sir! I do admire one little choir, Who nothing know of chords, sir— Four sweet-voiced girls, like orioles, Wood-nymphs or mocking birds, sir! They warble free more melody Than organ’s richest swell, sir— Their goft refrain my dreams retain, Like mermaid’s magic shell, sir! When morn her gayest smile doth yield. And groves with chirpings ring, sir, I hear them, as they go afield, Their matin carol ring, sir; And as they trill their tender lay, And play their tasks so well, sir, May never care, I softly pray, Those happy spirits quell, sir ! Bing on, ye gay and lighjsome hearts, While round you e’er is beaming The humble peace which toil imparts— You self-reliance teeming! Brave hearts and true! In praise of you The robin’s notes are ringing ! ‘All work is worship ?” as he flew, I heard the wild bee singing ! The ev’ning casts its shadows slow, And still the feathered throngs, sir, Are answered, from that portal low, By those sweet minstrels’ songs sir, And still at housebould tasks they’re found And social pleasures share, sir— J sigh—and passe—’tis holy ground, 2 CRbr innocence is there, sir ! When Southern maidens singing go »2, Dur Southern sun’s to face, sir— fight along the cotton row, And count it no disgrace, sir, T tall you, Independence is Declared—her battles won, sir! “Mar losses all redeemed by this :— «nthe girls won't be outdone, sir / iy 5 E.

How Two Southern Gentleman Vowed a Vow and Kept it The Stateaman of Austin, Texas, says: From Serbin comes the news of the finale of a fearful tragedy, and we are able to gather the following details in regard to it. Drs. Mallette and Mauning were both practicing physicians in the same ueighborhood, aud had been living there for several years. Some little profession- al jealousies sprang up between them, and Mallette, iu time, began to talk about the other doctor iu what was regarded as an uujustifiabie mauner. He did not, as it is said, confine his remarks about Manving in a professional capicity alone, but had placed him io a wrong social light before others, and had also indulged in reflece tions apon the character of a near female relative of Manuing. Manning finally called upou Mallette to give an explana tiou of his course, which resulted in an agreement between them to fight. They went to a store, selected each of them a butcher k.ife, and then seeking an open place commeuced the work of carnage. The kuives, in their virgin purity did the work well, but belore either were mortal- ly wounded they were separated, Mal- lette weltering iu his gore, and Manuing a wreck of hie former self. ‘Though sep- arated, and death, in Manning’s case ap- pearing ‘mumineni, a fearful vengance was tautually vewed upou the spot and faith- fully k) pt, as the sequel shows. The combatants slowly recovered from their wounds. Manning’s neck had almost been gevered from his body, avd in’ hia recovery he became fearfully deformed, his head being drawn by the severing of the muscles entirely out of its proper position, He went to the town of Belton, in Bell county, while convaicscing, and remained there for a few months. ‘Time rolled on, and vengauce demanded that the vow made on the day of the fight be fulfilled. ‘The forces of attraction that were to bring these two men again togeth- erin morta, combat were too great to "| withatand, and Manning found himself, a sooner had Manning become quietly dom- iciled at his own home, than the fierce Mallette loaded hia gun with deadly mis» eles, went in search of Manning, and ade an attempt to kill him, which resalt- ed in the immediate death of Mallette.

The storm belt extends over the Siates of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, — Illinois, Southern Iowa and Missouri. The heavy rains began in May and extended through June, with intervals of clear weather, but since the first of July the rainfall bas been almost incessant. The destruction has been as great as that caceed by_sud- den inundationa, but the loss of growing crops has been heavy. Throughout the fertile bottoms of the Scioto, Muskingum, and Miami valleys of Ohio, and the Wabash regions of Indiana, the lands are entirely submerged, in many places to the depth ot several feet. The wheat crop, Whether standing or harvested, has been almost completely ruined, while the standing corn has'greatly suffered, and in many places has been washed away. So continuous have been the rains that very little harvesting had been done, so that the wheat crop is nearly a total loss. It is impossible to make an eetiinate of dam- age done. Although the lose falls heavily on the farmers of the inundated regions, there ia no reason to apprehend a scrious rearcity of wheat or corn, The supply of the former will undoubtedly be swall, as compared wih that of last year, bat etill enongh to meet the demands of the export trade. The cora crop promises to be unusually large. Avother danger which yet threatens from the atorm is the rising of the Misais- sippi from the heavy rains, aad the break- ing of the levees. The floods of its apper tributaries have receded, and it is hoped eo dread a ealamily may be ayerted from the so recently devasted regions, though it is vet too early to speak with assurance. —_—__+_~<«>>-—- — IN THE JAWS OF DEATH. A most wonderful aud almost maraeu- lous escape occurred at the wharf of the old Wilmington and Weldon Railroad on Monday. It appears that Mr. R. G. Ross had avumber of workmen engaged in extendiug the wharf to deep water, the water at that point being very shallow. With this yiew he had driven a number of pilings in a line trom the wharf, cut- ting them off ata low water mark, to which he had attached ‘“atringers,’ con- sisting of timber placed on top of the pilings and then secured. At the time we allude to in the out set the tide was rising and the timbers were about eveu with the water, while the wind was blow- ‘ing quite briskly up the river, when Mr. Roxzs who was eaperiudending the work, suddenly discovered the little steamer Fire-Fly passing the wharf of Messrs. Vick and Mebaue, which extends coueid- erably beyond that of the railroad wharf, being immediately below it and making directly for the obstrnctious, with full) head of steam on aud the wind aud tide with her. Mr. Ross, who was almost ‘overwhelmed with cousternation and alarm, waved and shouted to the officers of the ‘approaching boat, but to no pur- pose. ‘I'he kuowledge of the awful dau~ Mesere.. y and Sankey ie expenies They were. te leave Liverpool ia the steamer.of August 4th, yesterday, and may therefore reach this city in the course of next week.

Teachers all aim to train the thoughts and feelings to truth and love, unity aud happiness. Facmers should train the earth to produce such crops aud fruits, aud auch only as are conducive to the best health and highest welfare of human | beings. Then would heir calling be | traneformed from one of degrading drags | ery ard interminable toil to one of refines ment aod luxury. The germinating seeds, the waving grains, the luscious fruits, 8o suggestive of the source of all life and blessing, aud the barvest season, so typi> cal of a resurrection and immortality, ought to make the life an agriculturist a coutinual pasttime. And this, would be the farmer’s life, if farming was managed as itehould be. Farmere bave unequalled natural advautages for health strength and longevity. The statistics of discase and the tables of mortality, however, are against them. This is not due to that vo- cation but to their miauses of it. No class, aoa v hoi, is probably so reckless of health conditions, So far as our ace quaintauce with the habits of farmers is concerned —and it has been extensive—it compels the conclusion, that, as a rule, the dictetic habits of farmers are worse than those of avy other class, who have the means of choosing for themselves.— Science of Health. ens Rather Serious Gas. A very pretty, miss of about seventeen wenttoa Dr. R to have a troublesome tooth extracted, and after dreading it awhile at length resolved to take a dose of laughing gas to take the sharp edge off. A lady friend accompan- ied her, and was anxious to vote the! effect of the subtle gas upon her charming and vivacious campauion. She did not} have to wait long, for no sooner had the’ influence began to manifest itself than she threw her plump, dimpled arms around’ the neck of the suaceptible dentist, exe , claiming as sbe visited his lips with her, own: “Qh, you dear darling duck of a- man, you are good enongh to eat !” Of course she knew nothing abont the laugh whicb followed, or the coufusion on the part of the dentist, any more than she kuew what she had done. But the doc tor was somewhat flatiered, aud used the. ger so near at band had come too late to the ciptain and engineer for them to{ alter their course, and the boat sped with | | fearful rapidity to ber apparently certain | |doom. Upou her deck were a number of men, women and chiidren, who were pas- sengers from Smithfield to this city, and as the little steamer neared the obetrucs tions the cheeks of all including the offi- cer of the boat and Mr. Ross, were liters ally blanched with terror, And now comes the shock, whileevery one’s breath is suspended and heart stands gtill as the ‘crew and passengers seem to realize the fearful doom from whieh they can per- ceive no shadow of a chance of escape. But, lo! aud bebold, the bow of the liitle craft mounts the obstruction, the fearful speed at which ehe was being driven im- pela her forward with irresistible force, and she finally to the astonishment of all glides sately oat shaken and scurred, into the water beyond the danger which had so imminently threatened ber aud her precious freight. A man with a child is bis arms is thrown by the concussion into the now seething waters, but he recovors himself and the child is kept at hand and the man who was cast is rescued.

A writer in the Fortnightly Review makes an effort to show that, alibough we can in no way time the beginning of the univerae, we have much evedence to show that the wolrd begau to solidify between one and two baudred millions of years ago, and that, thoagh we can say nothing as to the end of the universe, the end of the earth,and with it of consciousness opon the earth, is as probable as science can make anything. The reader will surely uot be tempted to patient reading by gluomy conclusion that study of the orgiu and probable destiny of the universe is useless, because we have found a scien- tific point of view no date to go upon.

We have seen it in constant use for nearly two senre years, and found it to be the best remedy for looseness of the bowela ever yet discovered. It is to be commended for several reasons. It is not to be mixed with liqnor, and therefore will not be used as an alcoholic beverage. Its ingredients are well known among all the common people, and it will have no prejndice to combat ; each of the materials is in equal proportion to the others, and it may therefore be compounded without profes- sional skill ; aad as the dose is so very emall, it may be carried in a tiny phial in the waistcoat pocket, and be always at band. Itis: Tiuet. opii, Capcici, Rheica, Menth pip., Campho, Mix the above in equal parts; dose, ten to thirty drops. In plain terms, take equal parts tincture of opium, red pepper, rhubarb, peper-mint, aad camphor, and mix them for use. In case of diarrhoea take a dose of ten or twenty drops in three or four teaspoonfuls of water. No one who hae this by and take in time will ever have the cholera. We commend it to our western friends. and hope that the receipt will be widely published. Even when no cholera is anticipated it is an excellent remedy for ordinary summer complaint. Trust the Little Ones. I call to mind two families that bave grown up within my koowledge—twe homer presided over by parents who were anxious to do right, and to rear their children to do right. Ia one of those homes the lock and key were pat upon every door behind which cake, pie and sweetmeats, were stored, and upon every drawer containing curiosities and trinketr, The good mother and the sternly jueg father meant well — ‘hev meant to remove temptation from the path of the children —bat what was the resnit? As the chil- dren came tothe age of reflection they were forcibly reminded of the fact that they were not trusted. Ifthey were not trusted by their own parents who knew them well, of eourse they were not worthy They naturally accepted the tituation, and, just as naturally their wits found work in circumventing the keepers of the hidden treasures. Fruit er pastry, accidentally left exposed, was sure to die appear. Ifthe culprit was found he was punished. By-and-by the elder of the children found false keys to fit the locke of the closet doors; and so it came to pass that systematic thieving became the order of the day. In the other home, with the same uum- ber of children, nothing that could possi- bly excite the normal desire of a child was ever locked ap or hidden. From cellar to garret, all storing places of fruit, pastry and sweetmeats were open and free. One of the very first ideas imprese- ed upou the minds of the children was that they were worthy of trust. And they were trusted. No false desiies or appetites were created by concealing from them good and pleasant things. And so, being trusted, they grew up trustworthy; ‘and the good mother of that household would ae soon have thought of fiuding her child cutting its own fingers off as fiuding it using those fingers in stealing. And who shall say how mach of this early education is carried into the after- life, for weal or woe? Far more, I wot, than is generally considered. There is a vast difference between need- lessly setting temptation before the little ones, and a generous, hearty trusting of them. And, again, there are exceptions to nearly ailrules. I know achild with eyes so weak, and luuge eo painfally sen- sitive, that he cannot bear the sunlight or the fresh air. Yet, we believe suulight children.

He was a Frenchinan, aid écion of one of the oldest and first families of France. His name end title in full.were the Marquis Aymar ‘de, Belloy: |: He was a-man of fine edaca- tion, refinement and'good business ability: | In: bis early life he was a wild,’ advente- rous youth, who spent his fortune at home, and came to America say twenty years ago, For a few years he obtained his livelihood by teaching, keeping his rank to himself, and going under the unassuming name of M. Marechal. Aboat this time the Marqais concluded that all his wild oats were sown, and he would abandon the fast life he bad previously led. He became acquainted with a hand- some country girl from Michigan, with whom he fell in love. She was only fifteen years old, and from the standpoint of the adventurous and high toned French- man, was unrefined and uncultured. But he was captivated by her very innocence aud want of knowledge of the world, and married her. They lived happily togeth- er up to the time of his death, and six children were the result of the union. AS MIGHT HAVE BEEN €XPECRED, the noble family of the Marquis turned up their titled noses at this marriage with a backwoods girl in America, and refused to recognize it or her.—lle several years ago became a member of the Board of Trade in Chicago. He there showed the same wayward, reckless traits that bad been the cause of his checkered life. He made fortunes and lost them. Sometimes he was on the top wave of prosperity, and again he lived ina cave of gloom. During one of his periods of depression he took his own life, as is geuerally bes lieved, leaving his wife and six children in poverty. He had an_ insurance of $10'000 on his life, which has never been paid, the companies resisting payment on the ground that he took his own life. A subscription among his associates on the Board of Trade realized $1,500 or $2,000, which was used to defray his faneral exs penses, and the rest given to the family.

Though still in the prime of manhood his locks were prematurely white, and his face had a singular sad and thoaghte expression. He might be one of those who euters tained scruples as to the right of society to inflict the death penalty. But no, it was not that, for in reply to such a suggestion, he frankly admitted that brute. men, like the vicious brutes they resem- ble, must be controlled through fear, and that dread of death, of supreme terror, is in many cases, the only adequate re- straint. At the prospect of another uigiit of fruitless imprisonment, we began to grow impatient, and ex postulated warmly against what seemed an unreasonable captious~ nese, and some not over kind remarks were indulged in as to the propriety of trifling with an oath like that under which we were acting. ‘Acd yet,’ the man answered, as though communing with bimself rather than im pelling the imputation, ‘it is conscieuce that hinders my concurrence in the ver- dict approved by my judgement.” ‘How can that be ? cried several voices at once.’ . ‘Conscieuce may not always dare to follow judgement.’ ‘But Lere she can know no other guide.’ ‘I ovce would have said the same.’ ‘And what have changed your ofin ion 2 ‘Experience.’ The speaker’s manner was visibly agi- tated, and he waited in silence the ex- planation which he seemed ready to give.

LINES ON THE DEATH OF OUR BES- prospects and none brighter hopes. An attachment dating from childhood had ripened with ita object. ‘There had been verbal declaration and acceptance of love—no formal plighting of troth; but when I took my departure to seek a home in the far West, it was a thing anderstood that when I had found it and put it in order, ®he was to share it. Life io the forest, but solitary, is not necessarily lonesome. The kind of so- ciety afforded by Nature depends much on one’s self. As for me, I live more in the fature than in the present, and hope is an ever cheerful companion. At length the time came for the final payment of the home I had boughe. It too just to vouchsafe, sounded like the hollowest of hollow mockerics. It may be hard for the condemned crimi val to meet death ; it is still harder for bim who is innocent. ‘I'he one, when the first shock is over, acquiesces in his doom and gives himself to repeutance ; the heart of the other, tilled with rebellion againet man’s injustice, can scarce bring itrelf to ask pardon of God, I bad gradually overcome this feeling, efforts, which were maiuly directed to- wards extracting a confession, without which he assured me he had no hope to offer.

At the land office, which was some rixty miles off, I met my old friend, George C. He, too, had come to seek his fortune in the West, and we were both delighted at the meeting. He bad brought with him, he said, a sum of mouey which ° he desired to vest in land, on which it was his purpese to settle. I expressed a strong wish to have him fora neighbor, and gave him a cordial ins vitation to accompany me home, giving it aa my beliet that he could nowhere make a better selection than in that vicinity. — He readily consented, and we set out to~ gether. We had uot ridden many miles when George suddeuly recollected a com- mission he had undertaken for a friend which would require bis attendance ata public land sale on the following day. Exacting a promise that he would not delay his visit longer than necessary, and having given minute directions as to the route, I continued my way homeward, while he went back. I was retiring to bed oa the night of my return, when a summons from without called me to the docr. A stranger asked shelter for himself and horse for the night. T invited him in. Though a stranger, his face seemed not unfumilier. He was probably one of the men that I had seen at the land office, a place at that time very much frequ: noted. Offering bim a seat, I wentto see his horse. ‘I'he poor aniwal, as well as I could see by the dim starlight, seemed to have been hardly used. His panting sides bore witness of a merciless riding, and a tremendous shrinking at the slight- est toucb, betokened recent fright. On returning to the house, I found the stranger had gone. His absence excited no surprize ; he would doubtless soon re- turn. It was a little singular, however, that he should leave his watch on the table. At the end of an hour, my guest not returning, I went again to the stable, thinking he mighs have found his way thither, to give his personal attention to the wants of bis horse.

Leaving out of view a calculation of the aggregate white popn- lation ia the two scctious combined, let us look at the statistics of the Southern States alone.

Soath Carolina and Mississippi are the only States in which the negroca can countoua majority sufficient for any practical purpose.

Besides, it is not to be supposed that the whites of contiguous States would be idle witnesses of sacha conflict: ‘The means of transportation from one State t another, are couveniert and rapid.

To this end the stomach, the liver, the bowels and the kidneys should perform unin- jterruptedly their various functions, since if these are disturbed the vital fluids speedily: become vitiated. The best, nay; the ONLY ‘| blood depurent which purifies them, by over- coming those bodily irregularities which pro- duce them, is Hostetter’s Stomach Bittera— The principle upon which this salutary alter- ative acts is as simple as it is philosophic. The origin of most diseases, and invariably those which affect the organs above mentioned, is weakness, caused by insufficient assimilation of thefood, The Bitters speedily rectify the cause of the difficulty by restoring vigorous digestion, so that alj parts of the physical structure are supplied with an abundance of pure, rich blood. This increases the activity of the discharging organa, and enables them to throw off the effete matter, which, rankling in the system, destroys health.

FarMer’s Prow:—We heard Mr. John L Hedrick, one of the oldest and best farmers in Rowan, say a few days ago that he plowed a part of a field with Meroney’s Farmer's Plow, and part—side by side—with old fashioned shovel plow, anc that the corn plowed with Meroney’s plow, is now ten inches higher than the other. Moral:—buy Meroney’s Plow. Aug. 5.—3 mo. Mae Scuoo..—Attenstion. is invited to school notice in this paper. It will be seen that Prof. H. J. F. Ludwiek, late of the N. C.

His echool will open the Ist of Sept. next. John R.

The best chopper out of twelve was offered a prem:um if he would cut it offin less than an hour and a half. The saw was bought of D. A. Atwell, Hard- ware dealer, Salisbury, N.C. SOUTHERN ILLUSTRATED AGE. We have received the first No. of a neatly printed and handsomely illustrated paper, bearing this title. It contains a fine likenesa of Gov. Brogden, and also of ex-Gov. Graham. R. T. Fulghum, Eaq., late of the State Journal, is editor. Subscription $2 a year. What is tobe done about it?—We are informed that a white woman came to this city some three or four months ago frum the direetion of Raleigh, who, abouta month ago gaye birth to a white child, which she has giv- en toa colored woman, and is now making arrangements to return to hemhome bear or in the direetion of Raleigh. Whose business is it te look after the inatter? The child should not be disposed of in that way. Home Again’:—The family of our lately deceased eounty-man Daniel Styers, Eaq., took a migratory notion several weeks ayo and fol- lowing the advice of the departed Greely— went West. But they didn’t stay. Not much. Fhey found that the West—Illinois—was no A crops swept away, living high, &c. So they gone, asd come back home—nine souls in all. | And after a little over a moath’s costly emigran- , al experience they are once more in Rowan, and they'll hardly “Go West” again. Not much. CALIFORNIA CLEMENCY.~—A railroad Com- pany in California settled with a defaulter of the Road named Miller, allowing him to retain enough of the Compapy’s fuuds to keep him in comfort during his life. If all the officers of the Company “tare on the ateal,” we ean easily understand how it is | they permit one of their members to retire on a competency of stolen money. **They koow how it is themselves,” and expect to feed each other out of the sane spoon. Everybody knows we are not ia the babit of payingcumpliments, in faet, we v’e sume- how managed to get up a reputation for captiousuess. But that dos'nt hinder us froin eaying a good word when itis deseryed, and the new bridges which have been built over our principal streams to replace the old ones which had been washed away, eertain- ly reflect great credit on either the County Commissioners, or on the exellent Comimis- sioners Mr. Ransom Jacobs, or oa both. Those we have crossed are substaniially and nost creditably built, and look as if they wuald stand fast for years to come. “Be your own Physician.’—Some miserable quack has an advertisement in all the papers with these words. It tickela many a fool. no doubt, to think he can be his own pby- sician. The wisest and best physicians inthe country, however always send for a Doctor when they get sick; but this cheating fellow who says ‘be your own physician,” wants to get between all the doctors and the sick so that he can get allthe money spent for physic. Of course, reader. you will run after him and give him your money: and when you get so sick that you ean’t ran, you will send for the near Doctor to help you up. Meral.~Humbugs will never cease until they kill all the fools. s2"-GRAPES—It ts worthy of remark that while peaches, apples, cherries, ang other fruits were de- stroyed in the bloom, Grapes aione recovered from the damage of the late Spring frosis. We have in this section @ larger crop than usual; and so far, it bids fair to mature well. The Concord and Clinton are now ready ter use ; and the Lincoln and Catawba are ripening—will be ready early in September. Should not enterprising farmersmake a note of the above important fact in reference to frosts and grapes? The culture of grapes is spreading more rapidiy in this Country than any other fruit. In a few years more Kastern North Carolina will be able to supply the world with her Seuppernong Wine. Western N.C. ean grow the Coneord, Clinton, Ca- tawba, Lincoln, and many ether varieties, with en- tire suceess, so that there is nething to hinder then in the enjoyment of this delicious and healthful fruit. Mepicav :—In the published proceedings of the last annaal meeting of the N. C. Medical Society. we notice some highly in- teresting reports of rare cases. from the pens of our distioguished towusmen. Drs. M. Whitehead, and J. J.. Summerell. Dr. ore. [Aug. 18,975. Whitehead reports the following p=" Hyper* * » Baad ait se ES. die cessfully dlisgnosed and treated case o ein the Female,vand daother of “operstion for Fistala in Ave; with the electic ligature.” These are wll. fare and interesting cases, aud are reported in Dr. Whitehead’s graphieally elegant style. — Dr. Sammerell reports his experience in **Insulation of beds in Rheumatism,” which is of great practical interest ; aud also a case of ‘Loss of serotum by phlegmenous Eresyp- elas.” We notice.aiso that Dr. Summerell was honored with-the apppointment as oue of the delegates to the American Medical Association at Philadelphia; and that Dr. Whitehead was appeiated to the Virginia Medical Societg at Richmond. Salisbury may well be proud of these two gentlemen, and of the high rank they deser- vedly take in their profession. Simonton Female College—The Ameri- can says by advertisement in another column, it will be seen that the Fall Session of this Insti- tution of learning, will be opened in Statesville, on the Ist of September next, under the man- agement of Miss Margaret Mitchell, and her sister Mrs. Grant, and other associates of high attainments as teachers of young ladies in ‘all the branches of a first-class college. The two former ladies are daughters of the late Rev. Prof. Mitchell, of Chapel Hill, and are gradu- ates of that institution, aud having had a long experience in the training of young ladies. The salubrity of Statesville, is insurpassed by any point in Western North Carolina, and the College building is one of the best in the South, with a Campus well laid offand shaded with a beautiful grove of native growth, oceu- pying a commanding elevation, all have a char- ming landscape mountain view in the dis- tance. The teachers are chosen from the various denominations, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Methodist, &c., and the young ladies will at- tend the church of their chaice, in care of a teacher. Pupils can board with their friends in the place, or in the College, and no restriction will be imposed in that respect While the instruction afforded will be of the very best, the rates for tuition and other expen- ses will be reduced to a standard that will place it in the power of the daughters of the State to enter the College Halls and receive standard education. —_—_— TOWNSHIP OFFICERS.

Chapel Hill, N.C., Aug. 16th, 1875. Messrs. Epitors :—Doubtless many of your readers will be pleased to hear from this histo- rical spot in the tield of education in Nerth Carolina. The suspension of the University and the consequent prostration in the yarious departments of enterprise in the community caused by a great deat of the real estate in con- dition as well asin value. Since the arrange- ments were made to reopen the institution, considerable improvements have been made, and the spirit of the community bas been re- viyed. Paul C. Cameron, Esq., has Iaid a mu- nificent hand on the Professors Houses and the College Building, and they are in course of thorough rehabilitation. By the opening of the. session, on the 6th of Sept., we will be ready for a large number of students. The village Oe when they came and selected the University, is still standing; aad.though it has been stricken by lightning, is now green and vigerous—fit emblem of the institution of which it is a monumenhtal-treasure. The shrab- berry, the hedges, the fruit trees and. shade trves haye been growing during all the dreary elumbers of the University, and now. offer grateful welcome to those who may return to their college home, or those who may come to quaff the water of learning at this storied foun- Much of, the forest in the environs has _ been | cleared, revealing some of the most charming views I ever beheld. The air, the water, the lofty hills all indicate, this one. of the most pleasant and salubrious portions of the Stat. Property is rapidly increasing in value and people are moving in. We rejoice that the prospect is 0 bright. Several of the Faculty are here and the others expected in a few days. Inquiries have been, received from young men from Canada on the North to Florida on the South.;.There is concurrent resolve with Trustees and Faculty ty run the institution on a high mpral, as_ well as thorough literary basis. To secure ibis, tte canin'provision has already béeensmade. - As incorrect statements have been made in regard to the support of the University, it. is proper to give what | consider the truth in the premises. The Agricultural grant of Congress had been sqnandered under former management and still the obligation rested upon the State asa matter of honesty and necessity. Hence action to redeem the Scrip by paying the inter- est to the purpose of the original donation, In addition to this many gentlemen have made (and many others no doubt will make) private contributions to the University fund. Beyond this the support of the institution rests upon its own income. Nobody has taxed the State in the matter except those who wasted jthe origi- nal fund. Here all parties and all seots will be dealt with impartially and faithfully. The Univer- sity is needed to occupy the ground that is not, and cannot be reached by the denominational College of the State. It is very important to arrest the disloyal drain upon the interest of N.C., that attends and follows the patronage of Virginia and northern Colleges by our young men. We enter the field as friends and co- laborers of the church and colleges in the State. We only propose a generous and faith- ful rivalry in doing the best possible for those who are placed under our care. - Chapel Hill joined in the general mournir g over the death of North Carolina’s great and cherished Grahain. byterian church bells were tolled and memori- al service held by the citizens. An Earth Quake at Sea. The ship Hamlin of Buston arrived at this port early yesterday, with a cargo of sugar from Manilla. Her commander, Captain Rugs, states that st 3 a m, on June 3, when in latitude .10 degrees 76 minutee, longitude 57 degrees 51 minutes, all on board felt the shock of un earth. quake which lasted fully ten minutes. During this time there was a heavy sea running, and in diferent places the water appeared to revolve in circles like a wiirl- pool. When the disturbance first began the cca was quite emooth, but as the shock increased iu violenee the waters beeame correspondingly agitated, terrify~ ing those who were on deck, and arousing those who were sleeping below. Sudden- ly the vessel received a shock a8 if she had grounded and a peculiar rumbling noise filling the air aimaltaneously with the ahaking, the eky assumed a dull, leaden hue. ‘Ihe atmostptiere was also thick and hazy. During the continuance of the shock, contre] of the vessel was completely lost, and the ship refused to cbey the helm. There was little, ifany, wiud at the time, yet the vessel was tossed about as though in the midst of a gale. The Captain describes the upheaving of the waves as similar to what would occur af a series of submarine explosions had taken place. ‘he duration of the ehock was long enough to enable those below to reach the deck and witness the unusual sight. After the diaturbauce bad subsided, the sea again became as calm a8 before. The vessel sustained no damage and the cargo appears to bein tact, al- though her 5,000 boxes of sugar was bune. © ee FROM DRUGGI a There is no case of Dyspepsia that Green’s Auguat Fiower will not cure.

Artemus Ward never said a wiser thing than this: ‘I like little girls, but I like big girls just as well.” Those laughing happy creatures—the sad, the grave, the gay—all have their separate and peculiar charm for the children of men. From the school girl of fourteen to the mature damsel, we love them all; and itis wise that we do go. The world would be a desert without thei; and we bave no patieuoe with the man who can wilfully say that he has never been entangled in the meshes of hair, or felt his heart thrill at a look from a pair of laughing eyes. In the first place, when he makes a statemeut of that kind, he will find difficulty to make believers in it. Men from Adam’s time have beeo imoulded by the weaker sex. Weak!

The touch of a delicate hand, the mellow tones of a girl’s voice, the tender glance of beautiful eyes—all these have their power. Man’s inherent chivalry teaches him that these are given for his good, to restrain his wilder impulses, aud to make him better, purer, nubler. They furnish to the man an in. centive to labor, and point out to him the better path which bis feet ought to tread. They eochain the wildest aud most untamable of the race, and teach them to take delight in the pure social pleasure. Many a man who has goue as- tray has been reclaimed by his love for one of these dear creatures, and has lived g nobler life thereafter fur her sake.

A very intelligent old darkey was met by an ante-bellum friend the other day for the first time giuce the war, and the old man’s delight al pecing one of Massa’s tickler friends in old times was oubounded.

It makes one feel right aad, Uncle Joe, to think of the changes that have been wrought by old Father Time.’: ‘Yaas,’ replied Uncle Joe. ‘You ’mem- ber when I was a slave I worked ‘hard at odd times, and made money ’uuff to buy myself, I paid old massa $1,000 for my freedom.’ “Yes,” said Mr. Wilson, “I remem- ber it.”’ ‘Wish I had dat money now,’ mused the old darkey. ‘Well, yea,’ replied Mr Wilson, ‘it would be quite a fortune for you.’ ‘Lots of fortune, sar,’ said the old man mournfully, ‘aud every time I think about it I kinder rue de bargain. Nigger was wuff a thousand dollars then, but now he ain’t wuffadam. Mighty changes in dis world, massa.’ The Failure of the Mormon Trial. The failure of the jury to agree in the trial of John D. Lee, a Mormon, for the horrible -butchery kuown as the Mountain Meadow massacre, renders it improbable that there will ever be puu-~ ishment by the courts for this fiendish atrocity. ‘I'he number of Mormous on the jary reudered it duubtful from the first ‘whether the accused would be convicted. It is, however, proof of a progress of civ- thzation in that region, which might be ewwulated with safety in certain more pres tentious localities, that two Mormon ju- rors joined the one Gentile juror in wan- ting a verdict of convictivn. ‘The jury stoud exactly as it did in the Beecher cage—nine agaiust three. The nine, in the case of Lee, seemed to have been entirely indifferent to the evidence against the prisoner. The material points of the prosecution were made out clearly and conuectedly, and the blood of the victims fixed npoo Mormons under the leadership of Lee, and ia obedience to a real or pre~ tended mandate of the so-called Mormon Chareh. It is nearly tweuty years siuce this crime was committed. The “Danites,” then and for years thereafter a8 much a part of the Mormon Church as its priests and prophets, guar-~ ded every channel to retribution. ‘They were the ‘Avenging Angels’ ot the Church, and scores of offenders, often an conscious of their offence, fell before the swift and pitiless stroke of that murderous organization. It has passed away as the advance of civilization encompassed it, and now, after two decades, justice has been strengthened to make a feeble effort to assert her majestz in the Mormon do- minions. It is a good beginning, and the day is not distant when the Mormon Oharch shall cease to protect thé marder- er even in the Utah courts. ee “Among the’ Revol slutionary y relics letdly.ex-| he i “ lwor Every Day and Sunday Zoo We recently heard a gentléman—who had enough trouble to weigh him down, God knowe—deelare tbat he would eom plain no more, because he had had a won- derful lesson taught him that very morn- ing. “I came along the street,” he said, pondering my wretched plight and mars veling if any other person, under canopy of heauen, bad a worse bardeu than mine to stagger under; and, if so, could euch a sou ever wear a@- smile apon his face? As if in response to this mental iuterroge- tory, I beheld limping u the street an ex Confederate soldier, clad in the tattered grey habit he had worn in battle and sur- rendered iu at the last ditch. Faded, patehed aud ragged was that uniform which seemed to oe bis only refuge from unkeduess itself. He bad lost an eye, au arm anda leg. Poverty had made its abode in his old garments, and every rent in them had a mouth which spake with more than the eloquence of words. And yet, beneath that rasty garb the stout heart beat, and on that gallaut face, grown old iu war aud tribalation, there was 4 emile of, resignation aud content He even went up Broad street whistling some merry tune and looked the picture of any- thing bat sullen desperation, though he had far more cause than thousands of others to abandou even the memory of a laugh. When I saw that man and re- marked bis composure and light~bearted- ness under circumstances of peculiar wretchedness, I felt ashamed of my own moral cowardice, and resolved that, rather than again murmar at wy lot, I should get down upon my_ knees, night and no merit of my own, 80 much more favor ably situated than hundreds of others, who had been cloven down by a fiercer tornady than that which had made me prostrate, but not utterly forlorn.” : The Augusta Constitutionalist, afer narrating the above incident, asks : “Is there not a saving lesson in that little anecdote of the poor Confederate aoldier? Let it roll the stone frem the sepulchre of too many hearts which be- come unduly morbid by to» much self- contemplation. Let us all do the very best we can to endure the present afflic- tion, hoping for more sunshine presently, and impressed with one truth, which is sometimes never recognized until earthly props give way—that no matter what fatalities betide us at the hands of man, we cannot be thrust from the immortal haven save by our own act, and that the way to Heaven is more frequently strewn with thorns than with roses. Let even the most sorely oppressed soul take cour~ age, therefore, and perchance the clouds will be suddenly swept away, revealing the supposed unmitigated calamity as a genuine blessing iu disguise.” ae A New Road to Matrimony. Miss de Vergaa, says a Calcutta paper, wishes to be married —nothing very exXs traordinary in that—but the manner in which she proposes to accomplish her de- aign is curious. Donna Peda de Vergas offers heraelf as the prize of a lottery -for tho oum of one lac of 100,000 rupees, upon the following conditions: (1) ‘Pwen- tystwo thonsand tickets at five rupees each. (2) The takers of tickets are siim- ply to send in their names, the amount of their subseription to be collected when the sum mentioued has been subscribed for. (3) The lottery to take place at a date to be hereafter announced, at the town hall, Calcucta, and to be drawn and directed by Miss de Vergas. (4) The owner of the winniug number will have the option of one of the following choices: (a) To marry Miss de Vergas share with her -on the prineiple of community of goods—bher furtune of one lec of rupees. (b) Or, in the case of refusing the marri- age, the sum of 50,000 rupees will be paid to him, Miss de Vergas retaining’ to herself 50,000 rupees. (5) Miss de Vergas reserves to herself the right of refusing to warry the owner of the winvi:g number, should he prove to be a person she would not care to espouse, Iu that case the winner will be paid the sum of 50,000 rupees. She is a young lady of birth of noble family, well educated—she speaks Spanish, French, and a little English— cleyer aud a brilliant beauty. -— — -~+>- ——— THE FOREMAN. The duties ofthe fureman are (like the busy housewife’s work) never done. If he is alive to the interests of his einployers, he is uot the last man iu the factory in the morning, neither is be the first one out at night. To hiw belougs the duty of knowing that every operative is at his "work in the morning. To him belougs the duty of knowing that every operative renders unto his employer a just and equitable day’s la- bor. ‘To him belongs the duty of knowing that every Operative perforins his work to standard perfection. To him belungs the duty of arbitrating justly aud fairly between einployer and employed, aud uot, uufre- quently does it become incumbent upon him to settle various disputes between opera- tives; in fact, he is or must be, as nearly as possible, an omuipresent factotum. He kuows of all the little domestic troubles of his subordinates, and has to advise aud suggest means of bringing about (amicably) the warital relations of more than one of those under his cvntrol; not sufficiently burdened with his own troubles, he carries the troubles and secrets of subordinates securely locked withiu his own breast. If any of the operatives iv bis departmeut ineet with reverses, he is the first one appealed to; he is the first to add his name tv the sub- serption list fur a certain amvuut; oo mat- ter whether he is prepared or nut, he must, to prevent calumuy, subscribe. ‘hus we might speak of him on this subject for years, and fill volumes without end, aad then not fiuish this portion of our story All employers of factors are not practical men. In such cases, the success of the wauufacturing portion of the: business de- voives wholly upou the fureman. Not only is he held strictly accountable fur the superi- ority of the work. but be inust ever tire his never resting brain in produciug fresh nov- elties ; novelties which will bring the work to w greater state of perfeetion, and novelties which will cheapeo the production, without lessening the wages of the operatives. If it becomes necessary to reduce furee,, to the fureman belongs the unpleasant task of saying: ‘We will have to dispense with your services.” Jf a reduction of wages be determined upon, the foreman beeomes the agent fur promulgating the same. and: if he is not possessed of the necessary amount*f tact and eloquence to present the same in such a phase as to prevent the immediate withdrawal of a partor the whole of the operatives employed, his fate is euathems, Amerioan * morning, and thank God that I was, for, hibited in Boston, there were shoWn twoaprons; hearted woman, Mrs, Reid; the day of the battle of Lexington.

Mrs. Hancock once observed that she could never forgive a woman who was indifferent to her dress. nor one who seemed to be pleased with it. The memory of her stately beanty is one of the traditions ofthe earliest days of the Republic, and her slippers, a piece of her wedding-gown, and the great sam- pler she worked in her girlhood, attracted many curious eyes, and reverent ones as well. ———s.-——— Southern Independence.” “Hallow, stranger, you seem to be going to market 27” Yes, sir, I am: “What are you carrying that plow along for 2” “Going to send it to Pittsburg.” “Tu Pittsburg. in Pennsylvania?” © You're mighty right, I ain.” “What are yyu guing to send it there for 7” “To get sharpened.” “All the way to Pittsburg to get sharp- ened ?” You bet!

It will be remembered that on the night in | question the neighborhood was aroused by an alarm of fire proceeding from Coles man’s house, and on arriving at the scene of the conflagation it was found that the boy and bis sister had escaped and saved most ofthe property from the flam- es, but that the father had been burned with the building. Under such circum: _stances, anspicion naturally rested upon ‘the children, and on Monday morning | they.were privately and eeperately exami- ned, whea the boy confessed that he shot and killed his father while the latter was lying on his bed asleep, after which he got moat of the property out of the house and then fired it. He, then requested his interrogator to go and get his sister, who would tell all about it. This was done. The gitl stated that her father, Eli Coleman, was absent from home on that day, but came home about 10 o’clock at ‘night, when she and her brother got up and fixed him semething to eat, and then went and lay down again, her father go~ ing to bed directly afterward. Some time about midnight or a litile after, her brother waked her up and there waa alight in the house and he bad a gun in his hand, and told her that he was goiug to kill Eli Coleman, their father. She begged bim not to do it, but he said he would, and be carried out his ‘threat by walking up near the bed where their father was lying ard shooting the _load through bis bead, killing him instai- ly. The girl says she was standing in the door when ber brother shot her father, and uever saw him move afier the gun was fired. ‘They then carried uearly all i their things oct cf the Louse, and the boy fired it in two places and she in one. They remained by the hoase until the top commenced falling in before they i made an outcry about the fire or anything else.

The R:l-igh News, under this head, pertineatly remarks : The great objection in the minds of mavy wen to the call of a Convention was a fear of its result upon the Presidential election. These gentlemen seemed to have staked their bopes in a far fature, and reserved thetr efforts for the great national battle, holding rather too cheaply the present needs of North Carolina, and relucten’ to move ber in behalf whea the great quesion of a national party triampb might seem tube impended by a lecal Issue. We thoughitand still think that the time had come for the State to disenthral itself. Ifthe people were not awake to the emergency, it is no reflection upon the sagacity of those who urged the call of the Convention, that their call was not more cordially responded to. They saw and they knew how readily the popular wind was worked upon by fear of change. And they find, now that the contest is over, that fears and prejadices in many sections prevailed over just appreciation of our condition. A victory has been won with very nar row limits for triumph —enough to pat in the hands of the Democratic party to car- ry out its measures. — And we are so sure that those measures will be wise, aud that they will Le satisfactory, that the people will be surprised at their distrust of a proposition which was to give them their most precious boon, a government framed by themselves, liberal and enlightened, plain and simple, securing equal rights to all in regard to person and to property.

The insurrection in Herzegovina forms the subject of almost daily telegrams from Enrope, and the outbreak is assuming threatening proposiiions. This province is a portion of the Turkish Fmpire ads joining the Austrian dominions, Whilst the Turks are its rulers, Herzegovina contains a large Coristian population, and Austria is supposed to take a deep inter- eat in their weltare. ‘Ube trouble begau with quarrels between the Moslems and Christians, and have gradually grown until the latter have rebelled agaiust the Tarkish domination, Servia, an adjoin~ ing semi-independent State, sympathizes with the Herzegovinians, and the Servi- aus are raising fundato aid them. The Servian sovereign, Prince Milau, is mak- ing a visit to Vieuna to accertain what position Austria proposes to occupy in ibis complication. Austria, although having sent troops to the frontier, has throughout preserved strict neutrality, though the Turks accused her of secretly formenting the rebellion. Aa Servia sympathizes with the insurrection, though herself nominal subject to Tarkey, there are groduds for the belief that she may get involved in the complicatien, and avail herself of the opportunity to strike a blow for independence. All the European powers are watching the revolt, and at Vienna and St.Petersburg, where great iaterest is.always taken in Turkish affairs, ‘keep all battons, strings, ete,, in perfect + ree ere. 6 > the insarrection is just now the uppermost diplomatic tteme, . jonging to’ sot , eort as the furniture was {-plary fortitadé, had ‘placed ‘the rock hair with such gifted skill that no man Pet Orit in order to make a bee ‘line across the floor. + Mres = could come in the room. without ranning over it;.so the first thing he knew, McStinger etubbed his toe nail off against the rocker, which kuocked the seat against the crazy bone of his knee and made one of the long arms prod him in the stomach. Simultaneously he fell over the chair crosswise and it kicked bim behind his back before he could get op from the floor, as he stood on all fours. The en- gagement was now fully open. When a man begins falling over the rocking chairs in a dark room, he dught always to have three daye’ rations and forty rounds. Before MeStiager could get up straight his kuee came down on one of the long rockers behind, and the beak of the chair came down on his head with a whack that laid him out flat on the floor, and before he could move the chair kicked three the sharp end of the rocker. him perfectly furious, and he scrambled up and made a bliud rush at the chair, determined to blow up the enemy's works. He rau square against the back, and it ing McStinger half way across the room his abdomen like a bulls horns, as he lay spread out on the under side. It would haye been a good thing for McStinger if he had laid etill then and let the chair have its own way. It lay flat on its back with the long points of the rockers embracing his abdo- men, and didn’t seemto waut to do anything active just then. Bat McStinger couldn’t make up his mind to give it up yet. the chair. It fell over with a crash on its side giving him a furious dig in the liver in the air, and getting the chair on its ward and forward at him like a wary old ram making feints of bucking its adver The blow in the side nearly finished McStinger, and while lying there rubbing his wind back again, he was jnst begin- ning to reflect whether his houor required him to proceed any further in the affair, when Mm. McStinger suddenly began screaming all the names in the crimes act, under the impression that the Charley Ross abductors were trying to commit a barglary, bigamy, robbery and everything else. Up to this time she had been speechless with terror, and bad lain there trembling, shedding perspiration, and accumulating shrieking power, until she bad gained the screaming capacity of a camel-back en- gine. She had just reached her third sforeando fortissimo accelerando, when old McStiuger sneceeded in getting to his feet once more and became dimly visible to Mrs. McStinger. With one laet parting shrick she sprang frora the bed and made a dash for the door, near which the rock- ing chair still stood menacing the whole universe with a batting motion. Mrs. McStinger had no time for investigation just then, and she pitched into and over the rocking-cbhair and clear on downstairs, the chair after her, turning over and over, and kicking Mrs. McStinger every bump, until they both landed iu the hall below, where the chair broke all to atoms. This ended the fight. 7 If wives will learn from this sad story not to leave rocking chairs standing around the middle of the room for their poor husbands to fall over, we shall not Lave written in vain. Fever Diet. Dr. Luton, of Rheims, states that for the last four years he hastreated typhoid by an abeolate water diet. Nothing but good fresh filtered water, accasionally iced, is permitted to be taken. At first, he says, it ia taken with avidity, then io moderation, and at last with signs of satiety ; it is sometimes vomited at first, but is soon tolerated; at the beginning of the treatment the bowels may be a little relaxed, but they soon become moderate and less offensive, and afier a time con- stipation may ensue. The daration of this treatment depends upon the progress of the disease; that is, between four and five days of water exclusively may be required, if the fever be treated as a whole, but three or fonr days suffice if only the intestinal element of the disease be cousid- ered. A light alimentation may then.be allowed—milk, unboiled, may be mixed with the waterand given by spoonfals, and if well sapported fora time, to be followed by broth and sonp. .

F. E. Shober. We don’t know of avy ove that would fill the place with more general acceptability than Mr. Sho. ber. He possesses in a very high degree all those qualities e0 necessary to make a good presiding officer, and is just the right age for the posilion. ExsGov. Reid, has been mentioned in connection with the place, and with all due deference to Mr. Reid and his many frieods, we are ° faglined to think that a younger man would be more acceptable, and more like- ly toexpedite business. Mr. Shober is dignified, able, experienced, and will | make a most capital preciding officer. Although heis not an aspirant for the place, a gentleman po-sessing such fine qualifications and so eminently fit for the position cannot well be overlooked, >_< _ THE NEGRO VS. THE WHITE MAN, Tt seeme that the foolish negroes of Georgia, following the rash counsels of > @estaia ignorant and eqnally wicked lead- ~-~@68, baye been for several months prepar. yging te make a united attack on the whites hein the vain hope of beiug uble to destroy them and take possession of their lands. - , Bagh stupidity is only equalled by the enormity of thecrime coutemplated. If THE five times greater than what it is, sach a acheme as they proposed iu Georgia could never be carried out; and any geueral eoncert of-action on their part, with the _wiew of carrying into execution their plan j of marder and rapine, wonld result ouly _ bdmthe atter destraction of the negro race. 2 ‘Phe fact is, if the negroes expeet or desire “fe live in this coaniry at all, they bad 5 Wter begin to cultivate the ways of “peace and amity. [t matters not how well concealed they may keep their plans, or how well united o: wide spread their otgavisation, it must fail and result only in the hangiog of the leaders and the ‘eondign pauishwent of their followers. “None bat the worst enemies of the negro *, pace would counsel sucb foul hardy ex- pias ag were proposed in Georgia.

The people of Texas® have called a Convention to remoflel their Constita- | tion, by a vote of 20,000 majority. North Caroliua alone, of all the Southern Srates, has been tardy in getting rid of a Consti- tution placed upon her by Yankee bayo- nets, carpet-baggers, scalawags, and negroes. At the secund attempt she has barely gota majority of white men with white notions out of a popalation that has a majority of fifty thousand white voters, Why is this? Ie North Carolina less true to prineiple-—less devoted to the high claims of the Anglu Saxon raee—less in- terested in good and honest goverument, than other Southern States? We do not believe it, yet she might justly be charg- ed with gross indifference which is very damaging to her as a State. The fact is our people take too little in- terest in public affairs—they are too easily disgruntled and rendered indifferent at the shortcomings of so called leaders; They trust too much to a few, and are too neg- ligent and careless as a whole. A_ half dozen men in each county generally do the entire work of a campaign, while the great mags sit back and trust to the exertions of these few. And the workers, the inergetic, actiye campaigners, are too rarcly rewarded, Ifthe party has any- thing to give, any position to offer, a drone is sought out and the honors are bestowed upon him instead of upon a worker. There is also toa Ijttle effurt made to secure the services of our best men for office and places of public trust. Tbe man who has got the mest brass, most money, and the most gab is generally sought out inatead of the man who has intelligence, honesty, and experience, [u other words, the drone, the man without qualification, is picked up iustead of the active, capable, worthy citigen. ‘lhe blunders of the last Legislature, should be a perpetual warn- ing to the people of North Carolina never to send any but their best men to that body hereafter. ‘The people must correct the blunders of the past. They must show more back-bone and select better men for office, or prepare to give up the ghost. —_—————+- 9 There are some stroug personal relations between the editor of the Charlotte Democrat and W. W. Holden, aud the Democrat has selected the present time as opportune for urging the remoyal of the disabilities impos- ed upon him by the court of impeachinent: Public cpinioa in North Carolina is not yet ripe for this act of merey.

Buta lovely hand was in it, As I waltzed with her so gay ; 1 thonght myselfin paradise— It’s funny when you feel that way.” Aftera long pause, he broke forth with the refrain: “I felt as though I'd tumbled into honey, And somebody had feft meal] their money, The feeling’s so peculiar and funny, Oh, it’s funny when you feel that way.’, That young man sings another song now.

Men who do such things onght not to be taxed. They are worthy of sons and daughters. A Husband and Wife in one Grave.

The mother, coming in at this moment rushed to be sure of the safety of her ehild,:and jumping over the barning oil, and was terri- bly burned frum the feet to the bipe, so that she died next morning.

Ho was of course very per- uneasy aud was not expecting it, when a broth- er rising fro:n his seat requested Sam to lead ip prayer - He had :o comply, and preceeded thusly : “0, Lard, thou who in your loving kindness has prearranged every thing ’kordiug to thy wonderful marcy, look down with much ten- derness on this whole neeting. specially on. you know who [ mean, and 0, ifit be thy will grant unto me this one desire of my heart, ar- range, if possible, sothat Lcan go with Jane Ann home. Grant oh! Grant this to thy young servabt, wo is ab out to take on himself the my prayer is answered it will be a great encour- agement to a young man, amen.” After the mecting was dismissed tho other nig waded right in and took the gal home. Sam was heard talking to himself: which if put there is much ‘Micacy in prayer, I'll jist be durned if I’ll be a preacher after all.” Wao Tiep uy Doo Loose ?—.\s it is gener- ally known the five per cent which was paid rin several years since, on fifty thousand dollars of private subscriptions to the Yudkin Rail Road, was lost by the recent failure of the Bank of Meeklenburg. The net amount prin- cipal and interest, was, we learn -about thirty two hundred dullars. And thereby hangs 2 tale. Dr. C. A. Henderson was the first Treas- ure of the Boad, and under his administration the five per cent was collected. Dr. Henderson gave an ample bond to the company for the safe keeping of the money, and its forthcoming when wanted, and if that bond had been allow- ed to stand the money would be safe to-day. But that did’nt suit the President and certain of the Directors of the Road who decided that the money must be deposited in Bank. At their per- sistence Dr. Henderson resigned his office aa;Treas urer, paid over every dollar of the money, with interest thereon, and took up his bond. Mr. S. H. Wiley was then elected Treasurer, and in obedience to the posttine order of the. President, deposited the money in Bank, very ] properly refusing to give any bond for its safe keeping, since he had no voiceas to the manne of keeping, or place of deposit. Sono shadow of blame can attach to either Br. Henderson or Mr. Wiley. At a recent meeting of Stock- holders Mr. V, Mauney was elected Treasurer, | but did not, we believe, change the. place of deposit. So that if blame attaches to any one in the matter it must rest a those who or- dered the money to be deposited in Bank. But at that time the credit of the Bank of Mecklenburg was of the very best, and remain- ed so until the very, day of its sudden collapse. therefore in ordering the deposit, the President and: Directors were doing peo iae imprudent, could: nut foresee, the failure, which did happen several years afierward, as when it to | greatest work to which man is called, and if on paper would be sorter so: “I'll be doged if s?xes in Europe and America, | Ing to this country &s laborers in increasing numbers 5 aud hot as settlers, as our fore-fathers came, but only a8 sojourners—they all take thelr wages 1p gold and look to an ultimate return to their native Jand. where every one must become an apostle of Ap sio- Sixon civilization.

Instead of 26, as ours dues, and some of their words have as many as cight meanings, not according to the spelling or connec- tion, but according to the tone used in their enuncla- tion, so that ft takes an intelligent man ten years to Jeavn to read one of these languages, and further, they are so encuinbered ‘vith dialects that the speech of people living but twenty miles apart 18 often un- intelligible to cach other. And, wita all their other | disadvantages, these languages cannot be used in telegraphing, the telegraph alimost entirely refusing to tke cognizance of the tone upon which the mean- ing of words in Chinese and Japanese so largely de- pe :ds. And so, for all general and commercial pur- pos’s, the languages of China and Japan are being Tepiaced, even among Asiatics themselves, by the Enezlisu. So that Gov.

Dr. Thomas Nicholson, of St. Louis, who has been giving special attention to the stady of emall-pox for five years— claims to have discovered a specific which is destined to work a revolution in the treatment of the most loathsome disease, and rob ir of balf its terrors by preventing the formation of pustules and consequent pitting of the sarface, while at the same time reducing danger of contagion. His theory is that the surface eruption is not caused by poison in the blood, but is due to the severeyiuflammation of the skin, which is so dried up by the fever as to cause a total suspension of its excretory function ; and his treatment is to restore as nearly as possible the normal condition of the skia by external application. For thie purpose le uses the following pre paration, in which it will be seen that gasoline forms the principal ingredient : Gasoline, oue pint; gum camphor, as much ag it will dissolve; pulverized sulphate of soda, one drachm. The body of the patient is to be covered with gauze linen over which the gasoline compound is to be sponged freely, as oceasion res quires, after which the body must be fanned to induce more rapid evaporation. This process is to be repeated till all signs of inflammation have ceased, Not only is the inteuse cutaneous heat reduced by this operation, and a feeling’ of great relief enjoyed by the patient, bat the dis» gesting oder of the ¢ick rotm is destroyed minimam, and the danger ‘of infection reduced to the brought in, against two in 1873 and four | The way of the — en bat one ot Anes id seal speedy punishment for crime is ‘foun the duathaf the suppoeed ‘river thief who was killed by the explosion and’ fire ow ‘board the lighter, at Jersey Oity, N.J.

Jobn Mallory was returning from his day's work, with hia spadeover his shoul. der, when he saw a woman sitting close to the wall, weeping bitterly. John had a kind heart and was easily moved at the sight of distress, so he stopped and addressed the woman. ‘You seem to be iu trouble’—that waa what he said. ° The mourner lifted her face, and he saw ly more than a girl, in fact. But this did not lessen his Greased. jt, for his heart was ‘human as : well as kind. ‘Trouble? Ah, yeas I have comesuch a long, long way, aud am so fatizued—so much weary! I went to the people's doora, but no oue said anything only :— 'Go ’way | we have no room for strangers, Go to the hotel why do you not?’ ‘So J went to the hotel, bat the land- lord wes worse than all the rest. Ob lond! Heeall me a tramp—a_ thief because he found | bad no money. No money, yer, that was it; and be bade me go about my bnsiness; but I have no business, and so J came out inte the woods to die alone.’ ‘Cheer up, then, if that is all,’ said John, ‘and come with me. My mother won’t drive you from her door, you may be sure.’ And John spoketruly, for his mother's heart was like hisown. She only needed to know that the girl was a stranger and in distress to give ber a cordial wel- come . ‘Take off your things, my dear,’ said she, removing the girl's shawl with ber own hands, ‘and sit here by the fire. — How you shiver, poor child! You are chilled to the bone.’ ‘You are so kind—so very kind!’ said the visitor, taking the recking-chair off ered her; and then John saw that she was not only young but singularly beau- tiful, though thia and pale aa if from re-~ cent illness. ‘You're out of healih. to be abroad.’ said Mrs. Mallory. ‘How yoar mother would feel to see you looking 80,” ‘Alaa, I have no mother’ eaid the girl, and her tears began to flow afteah. ‘1 will tell you my story.’ “Phere, there, [’m sorry I aaid it—I'm such a blunderer! and comfortable, you shall tell us about yourself, that is, all that you wish to tell.’ So, when the three had eaten evening meal, and Mr3z. Mallory had cleared away the table and taken story. She said that her LeRoy; that her father was a Frene refugee; but that she herself was bora in Canada some years after he bad native country, be having married a Ca nadian. After the death of ber mother he had come to Boston, hoping to be able to support himself and her by teaching bis own language; but jast as be ha found a situation which promised to be permanent he became very ill; in fact, the climate of this country had never agreed with bim, and he was always monrning for ‘la belle France. Ue was sick a long time, and when he died he left her penniless, Ot ber relatives in France she knew nothing; and alihough siuce her father’s deatb she had written more than once to her mother’s friends in Canada, no letters had ever been received in retarn. Ste believed sbe could fjud them however, if she could get there, and that was now her aim. What she had suffered aince she left Bostou she said she could ‘never, never tell ’ ‘It’s all over now, my dear,’ said Mrs. Mallory, ‘so try to forget is, and just try to make yourself contented with us until you are better able to travel than you are now.’ Fo: a whole week Estelle stayed with the Mallorys, gaining in bealth aud beau- ty every day, and developing a eareless lightness of spirit greatly in contrast to her first depreesion. That John was not insensible to her attractions may well be imagined, and what the consequences might have been I cannot tell, if his heart had not been already preoccupied. That being the case, there was no room there for the fair stranger, save in tye way of friendsbip, and he showed his friendship by bringing Mary, his betrothed, to see her. Curious it was to see the two together with her rosy cheeks, her calm, blue eyes and yellow hair; her plain dress, and steady northern tongue; and Hstelle, with her olive skin, ber bair and eyes as dark as night, her fanciful idiomatic speech and her airy figure, which gave grace ever. to the worn garments which clothed jt. It was the brown thrush and the canary bird sitting side by side on an apple-tree bough. Suill, they got on well together, these two, and kissed each other when they parted. But when Estelle parted from Mrs Mallory she bung on her neck as if jit bad been her own dear mother she was leaving. John saw ber safely on her journey, and when he took her band to say fare- well he left in it a smal! purse, containing a sum sofficient for her expenses. ‘I shall not forget you, ever—ever— no, not till my dying day does come,’ said Estelle, with tears in ber eyes. “I'he ood God bless you for your kindness to the peor atranger—you, and your mother, and the pretty Marie,’ oe xed toa Bile spg dead thet pity at all; possibly it ins | — Mary, the staid New England girl, WA-~ | reaehed her journey’s end im safety and that she wag a very young woman, scarce. |- - SALISBURY, ai .

It was an eveut in the history of that hotel, for nev~ er had such dn estatliahment been seen there before. Ont came the two bostlers, out came the stable-boys, ont came the bar-keeper, and, lastly, oat came the land- lord himeelf, : A gentleman alighted from the carriage ' hew he frightened me, he wus so Gere, 80 oir eile sled vroke) Wnlo-&ymerzy You're not fit | | the name of Mallory living here?’ asked oe = followed bya beautiful. and Fiehly-drnsed lady ebbing Mere head aiid waviug aside bis sa me tee the obsequious landlord led the way to the parlor, took the orders of his distin- guished gueste and commanicated them to his servants. Then there was an opening and shutting of doors, a ringing of bells, « rashing to and fro—ia short, tamalt as if the queen had come. When the travelers were left to them- ‘Qh, jt ja too droll, Sie Edward; it is the same landlord who, fifteen years ago, bade me begone for a thief and a tramp.’ ‘The yijlain}! J should like to lay my cana over his back,’ said Sir Ed- ward. ‘It isn’t worth while—sueh an insigni- ficant back,’ said the lady; ‘only don’t take on airs, thinking all thia attention is torus. It is ouly for our carriage and horses, and our clothes.’ By and by, the landlord having* made some further errand to the parlor, the lady, who was sitting by the window, re- marked : ‘You have a pleasant little village here.’ ‘As pleasant and thriving a village as any in the country,’ anewered the dilight- ed landlord. ‘Do you know if there is a family by she. ‘There’s a farmer by that name, ma’aw.

I was here, also, at that time. You do not remember it.’ ‘It is very strauge, but really, ma’am, it has escaped my recollection.’ ‘Quite likely: I: was before my mar- riage.’ And with this the landlord was forced to be satisfjed. ‘My wife is well, and will come her=! self and thank you for your great goods nees.’ ts . ‘Not to-night, not jto-night; but to~ morrow Sir Edward will come with me, and we will talk it all aver—the past and present.

When the world knows the facts of our struggle agaiost the Northern Sates it will say that our inferiority in pambers and resources was compeneated by the energy ot our people and the skill in war of oar generals. Neither Gen. Yon Moltke nor any other European since Napoleon has ever fought such a battle as the battle of Chancelloraville ; and it is vimply ignor- ance and prejudice which can deny to Lee his claim to occapy the foremost rank of generals. Since Marlborough Europe has not produced Lee’s equal; always excepting the great master of the art of war, Napoleon. Our war was too far removed from the scrutiny of General Von. Moltke. Most of the accouuts of it reached him only through the Northern channels; and, therefore, he did not know as much about it as some of us who have not his capaci- ties for military eri‘icism. General Von Molike may not know tbat in the two battles of Manassas and the two battles of Cold Harbor, the most remarkable illustration was given of the superiority of Southern soldiers and Southern generals. About two years of battles intervened between chese pairs cf Southera victories. Inthe “First Managses” our army aoder Joe Jolinstou numbered 37,000 men. The Federal army under McDowell, num- bered 58,000 men. Iu the “Second Man- assas”’ Lee’s army numbered litte over 40,000 men. ‘The Federal army, under Pope numbered over 100,000 mon; and Pope's army fuced as Johnson s had faced in the first battle Tn the first Cold. Harbor Lee's army nawhered about 70,000 men. (It wis the largest Confederate army ever assem- bled.) © McClellau’s army pumbered over 100,000 inenu.. In the second Cold Harbor Lee's army numbered about 45,000 wen, and Grant's army numbered about 120,000 men, and in the second Cold Harbor as in the se- -coud Manaesas the positions of the armies were reversed, and Grant's army fuced us Lee’s had done two years before. In these four decisive battles the Con- federate armies defeatedthe Federal arwice.

How to Protect the Ball ot-Box from Fraud. ~ From four different poiats in the State at which the negto party made He gains in the recent election, we have seeming- ly well autbenticated accounts of “coloni- zation,” that is to say, the accounts fur the importation ot mea for the sole pur- pose of voting and with no real purpose of residence. These points are Branswick, Mecklenbarg, Wake and Wayne, and caused us a loss éf aine dele- gates. How easy this colonization business can be carried on by a party with sach a majority and corrupt people in its ranks, as the negroes are well known to be, and with money at ite command any man can Constitation as it now stands requires only thirty days residence in a coanty to enable a mau to register and vote. A hundred or two additional hands in work for or opon a ggilroad or in any other employment at aff might esily turn the scale in many counties. That the result of the recent election was due in part at least, to such frandalent voting, there can be no doubt. The Radical par- ty has not only the will bat the men and the money for sach work and the present Constitution permits it to be done. Such work ought not to be done, and therefore we favor the proposition to change the Constitution so that twelve months shall elapse after a man begins his residence in a county before he shall be permitted to vote. Ifthis be done it will effectually prevent colonization. A second safeguard is to require every voter when challenged to establish his rigbt to vote by the testimony of witness- es known to the judges. Of the election to be credible. Ifa man has lived in a county twelve months and during that time has associated only with peo- ple who cannot be believed on oath, we do not hesitate to say that he ought not be permitted to vote. Another safe guard is to prevent any mau who has been convicted of an infam- ous crime from voting. No thief nor for- ger or perjarer ought to be permitted to exercise the great right of suffrage. It is indeed true that the Radical party des mand that lying and stealing shall be no bar to suffiage. A man may steal, be may for- swear himself, and he my forge his neigh- vote for all that.—What a commentary upon the morals of a party is it that it should become indignant when is asked that the law may proclaim that aman should both steal and vote? Yet such is the epectacle we have presented to us in North Carolina to day in the attitude of the Radical party. We are in favor therefore of changing the Constitution so that it shall no longer declare that though a man. steal yet shall he vote also: 80 that it reqnire a residence of a year before voting, and 80 that when challenged he shall be required to prove by credible witnesses his right to vote. When these changes have been made we of the east will have some assar- ance of fair elections. As it is we are at the merey of a corrupt party with men and means to accomplish their ende.— Wil.

Mount Pleasant mine, this city, was the scene of a thrilling accident Siturday morning, by which two young men were instantly killed and avother so seriously injured that death is momentarily ex- nected. The main entrance to the mine is effected through a slope 1,200 feet long, and driven atan angle of thirty-three degrees, through which coal is hoisted up from the diamond vein, which the Com, pauy is operating at present. Shortly after seveu o’cloek iu the morning, a party of about six miners started to walk down the shaft. When about half way down the men at the head-house proceeded to lower empty cars for miners according to custem. As the workmen had just push- ed the firat car from the landing the grappling hook became detached and the car dashed down the slope with lightning like rapidity, overtaking David Owens, Evan Davis and T. Sterrit about midway in the gloomy passage. Owens and Davis were instantly killed and thrown some forty feet from where they were struck; Sterrit received a horrible gash across the forehead and was rendered in- sensible. ‘be carjumped the track at this point and knocked down some of the props supporting the roof, causing @ shower of rocks to falldown and ewaeh the car and block up the slope. The men aecompanying them, who were struck, took refuge behind the track of a natrow bed scooped out of rock and es- caped unburt. Thos. D.

At Rome, Ga., recently four young lawyers, who had just passed an examination, were ad- dressed as follows by Judge Underwood : “Young gentlemen, I want to say a thing or two to you. You have passed as good an exami- nation as usual, perhaps better; but you don’t know anything. Like those young fellows just back from their graduation college, you think you know a great deal. That is a great mis- take, If you ever get to be any account, you will be surprised at your present ignorance. Don’t be too big for your breeches. Go round to the justices’ court. Try to learn something. Dou’t be afraid. Set off upon a high key. You will, no doubt, speak a great deal of nonsense, but you will have one consolation—nobody will know it. The great mass of mankind takes sound for sense. Never mind about vour case —pitch in. You are about as apt to win as lose. Don’t be ashamed of the wise-looking | justice. Hedon’t know athing. Heis a dead- | beat on knowledge. Stand to your rack, fodder or no fodder, and you will see daylight after awhile. The community generally supposes There is no absolute necessity that you should. You may be smart | without being tricky. Lawyers ought to be | gentlemen. Some of them don’t come up to i the standard, and are a disgrace to the fraterni- | ty. They know more than any other race gen- | erally, and not much in particular, They don’t know anything about sand-stones, carboriferous periods, and ancient land animals known as fossils. Men that make out that they know | a great deal on these subjects don’t know much. | They are humbugs—superb humbugs. They | are ancient land animals themselves, and will | ultimately be fossils. You are dismissed with | the sincere hope of the court that you will not make asses of yourselves,” OO A THRILLING AFFAIR. RESCUING A GHILD FROM AN ALLIGATOR Handsboro (Miss.) Democrat, July 3l. Last Saturday, about suiidown, four miles east of this place, on Biloxi bay ozcuried a scene calculated to send a thrill of horror through every human heart. and to make even the boldest tremble with fear. Two little girls, daughters of Mr. Elam R. Blackwell, living on the back bay of Biloxi, while bathing in the bay, immediately in front of his dwelling, were attacked by an | enormous alligator. The oldest. a girl of ' about seven years of age, was holding the youngest. an infant of two years, in her hands, aud was quietly enjoying her bath. when suddenly her little sister was snatched from her and borne swiftly from the shore. Yerrified beyond measure, and unable to render any assistance to her unfortunate sister, the elder girl UTTERED A SCREAM. which was quickly caught by the ear of the father. who happened, accidentally, to be passing within thirty or forty yards of the spot where his daughters were bathing. Realizing instantly, frum the tone of the voice, that his children were in some peril, but unableto conjecture its exact nature, Mr. Blackwell, who is au active aud atblet- ic man, rushed rapidly to their aasistance, and arrived at the spot just in time so dis- cover his little daughter being borne out in- to the hay by an alligator.

The water, for a dis- tance of forty or fifty yards out into the bay from the puint where the children were bathing, ranges in depth from one and a half to two feet, and then suddenly attains a depth of furty or fifty feet, and both the ani- mal (which by this time had discovered the that the deep water iminediately in front of them once reached, PURSUIT AND RECOVERY would be alike impossible; both therefore redoubled their effurts, the ove to reach the point, the other ty prevent it.

Were anything necessary to confirm the opinion of the publie io Mr. Cliogman’s ability and bigh culture, keen and just discrimivating powers, broad and liberal views on all subjects of State and ecclesiastical policy, this ad- ress would do it.

Morton, Logan, Ferry and their followers who had passed the rag-money bill at the previous session, sat dainb fn their seats. and gould not be preveked to utter a word.on this double-faced seheme, which they well knew to be only a cheat of words, and patch- ed up to tide over the Presidential election. it was thus rushed throagh at a single sitting of the Senate, without dotting ani or cioss ing at. Phe bill then went to the House, and the holidays intervened. It was not even refer- red to cominittee in that body, but Mr. Maynard, Chairman of the Bauking and Currency, and the wildest of all ivflationists, proposed in committee that amendments might be offered aud voted upon. He called the bill up tothe 7th of Jannary, and fal- sified his pledge by demanding the previous question which cut off all amendments. » A}l appeals for a fair hearing were treated with disdain. No debate was allowed. The wain body of the Republigans rallied round this leader. and the bill was forced down by 8 trained majority at a single sitting, just.as jt had been iu the Senate. The President, who was in the plot, signed it promptly. and soon afterward he appointed Maynard Min- istered to Coustantioeple, for this and other partisan servic-es equally creditable. Joho Sherman was the putative parent of the project, though it was iy truth the child of many fathers, and Seuator Murton claims a large share in the paternity. When the bill was before the Senate Mr. Sherman un- dertook to explain its provisions in a lame way. which made the deceptiva t:ansparent. He told bow the fractional currency was to be redeemed iu silver, and the green- backs reduced to a three hundred willions. and so on. But like the bill itself. he was silent as reissue of etther after redempiion, which, of couse, is vital point, for without that the shain stands self-revealed. Ile was interrupted as fo'lo.zs : “Mr. HaMILTon of Maryland—I would ask the Senate if there is authority to reissue that fraetional currency ? “Mr SHERMAN—I will come to that in a moment.” } Again : “Mr. Scourz—Will the Senate permit me to ask him a question ?_ When the 80 per. cent of greenbacks are retired will they be destroyed and never issue again ? “Mr SHERMAN—I will speak of that in a moment in connection with other questions.” He went on to discuss varions plane for resumption, but evaded any candid auswer to the questions, as follows : “There are many troublesome questions omitted from the bill, among the rest the one suggested by the Senator from Maryland and the Senator from Missouri. If we undertake to define precisely what shall be done four years hence on the resumption of specie payments, to say whether the legal tender act shall ‘then be repealed, or whether it shall be repesled before or not, we enter upon a very difficult field, and will undoubtedly divide the Senate and the country. “Mr ScHctRz—The question I asked the Sen- | ator does not relate to a time four years ahead, | but it refers to the immediate operation of the | bill. “Mr. SHERMAN—I will answer that question [by not answering it] The Senator sees the force of the argnment that we ought not to put in this bill anythiny about the reissue of notes or retiny fin Ag os ee sae nection withthe corruption, prodigality, ing and Ling rascalities of the last six = expecially, it should be driven from power by | in references therety which we reproduce ally, ) vi a the conspirators who contrived this sham, and others no better, like Jay Gould’s organ, auda- ciously ask the people of Ohio to sustain a| the character of those notes when reissued ayter re- demption shall come, He sees the force of that. “Mr. Scuurz—Does the Senator say that I see the force of that argument ? that ever had the support of government authority.

TSE FINANCIAL FRAUD EXPOSED. The New York Sun says, the effrontery with which the Republican Jeaders claim to be iv favor of resuming specie payments, and that the act of Jan. 14, 1873, is inten- posed and held up to public reproach.

J want to have a bill that is clear in its object, and operative in its machinery.” Mr. TuruaMaAN took up the bill practically, and demonstrated thag with the fuculty of re- issue left at the discretion of the Treasury, and the amount contemplated by the bill shonld be reached, there would be an inflation of $100,- 000,000. He tore it to pjecesin other respects, as wholly without merit-or good faith. In order to test the sincerity . of. thege pretended resymptionists, Mr. Bayard proposed to amend one of the sections 80 as to, require the Secrer tary of the Treasury to “redeem and destroy” the legal-tendern@ies in excess of the three hundred millions. But it was almost hooted down. after the following episode; “Mr. SHERMAN—J would ask my honorable friend.a question, and that” is, whether the word he proposes to add will change the mean- ing.of he bill? “Mr. Bayanp—Certainly it would, sir, in toy opinion ; and if it does not change it, why rshould the Senator object to the insertion yp the: word ? “Mr. SHERBMAN—I will answer the Senator now frankly, Mving asked him. the question, that J do not proposg to give my construction or opinion as a lawyer upon the question as to what is the meaning of the word ‘redeemed,’ as to whether it precludes or authorizes the reissue of notes because I say that. question } cannot arise under either of these sections until three or four years hence. Whether it may then be reissued, J say frankly again to the Senator that we do not undertake to decide except so far as it is fixed by existing law. J, therefore, cannot vote for the Senator’s proposi- tion, simply. because I propose to leave that an oped question to be decided in the futurg accor- ding to law. “Mr. Bayarp—Now, the people of this country must take the record of this debate; they must take the answer of the honorable Senator who here representa his party on this subject, and they must see that he declines to tell them whether he means this to be a meas- ure of contraction in any degree or at any time or whether he means it to be a measure of in- flationat the will and pleasure of the Secretary of the Treasury. “Tf it wasan evil, if the pcople of this coun- try felt that the Secretary of the Treasury ought not to be allowed, no matter how honest. or well-intentioned he might be, to piay fast and loose with the business interests of the country, to make money plenty or scarce at his whim or pleasure, and that to the aniount of $44,000,- 000, what do you say tothis? Here you have a bill that gives himthe same power to the amount of 100,000,000. and the honorable Sen- ator who has chargeofthe bill, and who once reported against such dangerous power, will | not agree that his bill shall contain language which shall render such an exercise of power impossible, No, sir, this is a double-faced vill. It seema to me that this isjugeling with a plain qucsiion which should be honestly treated.” These extracts prove conclusively that the whole scheme is a deliberate imposture, that specie payments were not intended by it in any way or at any lime, that resumption is imprac- ticable under its provisions, and that, instead of removing that question from contraversy, it ix only postponed, by the admission of the Sen- ator who engineered the deception throogh Congress, If there was nothing elze to condemn the Re- publican party for, this audacious fraud ought No member of the Convention. will be more usefal, aud but few will'so thorough. ly command the respect of their fellows.

Although the.days of. irrational aedication are happily passing away, and intelligent: phy- sicians have ceased to measure the supposed efficacy of aremedy by. the violence of its effects, there still linger among the older ptac- titioners a few of those predilections in favor of “heroic” ‘reatment, which it would be luckv. for their patients-if they had abandoned. One of these is a fondness for administering drastic purgatives, such as blue pill, calomel, jalap and caster oil. A contrast of the effects o these drenching drugs with the mild and bene- ficient operation of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, is the very best argument that can be adduced against the wisdom of such destructive treat- ment. The old fashioned cathartics convulse the stomach, and relax the bowels so abruptly and copiously as to weaken them. Hostetter,s Bitters, on the contrary, never gripe the intes- tines, but produce a laxative effect resembling the action of nature, At the same time they remove the cause of constipation, by arousing the dormant liyer to secrete the bile necessary to the regular performance of the excretive function, and enable the stomach to thoroughly digest the food. Indigestion and biliousness having been thus overcome, a regular habit of body is the necessary consequence, which the octasiona] subsequent use of the Bitters renders permanent.

Naming the Baby. Mr. Smith had selected the name, ‘Btié like chickens which were hatched ducks, itawonldn’t fit. It was a historical name, high-sondiding, warlike and impressive, but it didn’t «suit the bald-headed little female angel which’came to gladden the hearts of the Smiths. So another had to be selected, something soft, poetic and musical. And now comes the rub. There never arises another such emergency in life as this naming the first baby. Up and down the fumily trees of the Smith's and Brown’s they hunted, but no name suita. ble for the little cherub could be fuund. Some were too short, some tuo long, some too com- mon, some too peculiar. So they despaired there, and turned to the Bible, Ruth and Bsther. and Mary and Martha were all sounded, but somehow they didn’t any of ’em seen to suit the little angel. And that baby ain’t named yct. The last wo oeard of the be-troubled parents, Smith had Websters Unabridged Dictionary dowu beside the Family Bible vainly endeav- oring to find such 4 name as should be worthy of the future Miss Smith.

Meroney warrant their plow, and it is made at home here, and if any part gets broken or lost it is but little trouble to replace the broken or lost part. Meroney & Bro. hire quite a number of hands, money spent with them for plows is paid out to workmen’ who live among our people, and by the workmen scattered around generally, so that we all stand a chance to get some of it. And in this way it helps to keep money in circulation among us, make times lively, and do a common good. But the money that is sent off, is just so much lost to our people and helps to build up towns and manufactories that can never be of any permanent good to us.

Gurely the Hockbridge Alum “is beautiful | forsituation and the joy of many invalids, Natare and art have lavished their best gifts upop it. The buildings are principally brick, and of sufficient capacity to accommodate com- fortably seven hundred persons, ’ The number in attendance this season is unu- sually small—being at present only about two hundred. These, however, represent every State from. Massachusetts to Texas. Everything is in the best style and all possible effort is made to please those who are here in quest of health or pleasure. There are four grades of Alum water and each is regarded a specific for many diseases. By the direction of Dr. Davis, the resident physician, I am using the strongest solution of Alum. I find it acts friendly and think I have been already greatly benefitted. , On the 20 inst. I visited the great curiosity, the natural bridge, another of natures grand gifts. In hight it measures 180 feet, in wedth 90, and in thickness forty. I was pointed to a pending rock, upon which, it is said a fair daisel once stood and from it stepped upona stump projecting over the precipice and then 215 feet above the wates drew a pistol] and fired it, then turning upon one heel handed the pis- tol to her lover and bade him do likewise. He respectfully declined, whereupon she handed him his ring saying, “a faint heart never won fair lady.” I was also shown an arbor vitae tree which measured 14 feet in circumference, and is sup- posed to be 2000 years old.

La Fayette in North Carolina. SOME PERSONAL HISTORY. Mr. Chartes J. Harris, of Cabarrus county, gave us recently, an interesting account of the visit to our State of the French patriot and friend of Washing- ton. Messrs. C. J. Harris, w. C. Means and Daniel Coleman are the last survivors of a company Of eigh- ty horsemen who left Concord in the last days of Feb- ruary, 1825, to escort the Marquis La Fayette through our State from Virginia to the South Carvlina ltne. These three survivors all met on the 6th day of July in Concord. The Capt. of their coinpany was Thos. G. Polk; 1 * Lieut., James Meins: 2d Lteut., Thos. I. Polk; Ensign, (or color bearer), William Parks; 1st Sergeant, Wm. M. Grier; Quartennaster, Caleb Phi- fer Alexander; Bugleman, Thompson Hunt. The compauy Was composed of ee, and Cabar- rus men in equal number, They were joined at start- ing by four young men of Salisbury, viz: Josiah Hu- fe, Augustus Chambers, Richard W. Long and Addi- son Kelly. The State had made an appropriation of $5,U00 to defray cxpenses, and they were well provi- ded with wagons, tents, &c, The first day’s march was to Salisbury, the second to Lexington, the third to Greensborough, tiie fourth to Glass $s mill on Haw river, the fifth to Chapel Hill, the sixth to Raleigh. So great was the hospitality on the road that only at Chapel Hill, then a very small place, was it neeessa- ry to plici: their cents. After a delay of three days in Raleigh, the company proceeded onward to the Virginia line to meet the Marquis. As he advanced, the men were all dismounted by the side of the road, and each held his horse. ‘There were three carrluges in the suite of the Marquis. In the first he rode with CoL Wim. Polk, a beio of the Revolution, and a son of Col. Thus. Polk, of the Meciienburg Declaration of Independence. In the second carriage were Gov. luutchins G. Burton and George Washington La Fay- ette, son of the Marquis. In the third were some of the State officials. The Marquis and Col. Polk got cut of the carriage and walked on fvot along the line. Both limped trom wounds reccived in the Great Re- bellion, and both were now old men. Col. Polk in- troduced the Marquis to every man in the company, and he shook hands with each one. On the return to Raleigh, they went directly to the Capitol. Canova’s splendid statue or Washington was in the romroda, and the “farquis went in to see it, accompanied by Col. Pols, tie Governor and other State dignitartes. The soldiers ranged in a circle a- round the door. ‘The Marquis came cut weeping, so affected was he by the statue.

The next morning Grace Darling discovered that the survivors were clinging to the rocks and the remnaats of the vessel, in immiuent danger of being washed off by the return- ing tide, With the assistance of her parents, having overcome thejr opposition, she launched a boat, and with her father rowed out to the rocks, and rescued nine of the*shipwrecked persons. Six escaped by other mvans. The heroism of the deed was so marked and its motive sv noble that pre sents and wther evidences of admiration were showered upon Grace Darling. from every part of the United Kingdon. Grace Darl- iug died ia 1842, and, we believe, unmar- ried. : FEOM DRUGGISTS. There is no case of Dyspepsia that Green’s August Flower will not cure. Come to the Drug Store of Theo.

Since onr last issue we have learned additional facts concerning the homicide which was perpetrated in Haywood coun- ty on Thursday last. The party of young wen consisted of about seven, from Wil- mingtou and Fayetteville, and among these was Mr. Thomas Wright Strange, Mr. Bridgera, and John D. Williams, Eaq:, the last named of whom was a resi- dent of this city afew years ago. They were on a pleasure trip through the mountains, and spent Wednesday night at Waynesville, Haywood county. Thurs- day morning they were to go further west to visit Cattalooche Falls, A young man named James Murray, son of Sheriff Murray, of Haywood, bad been employed to carry a portion of the party to the Falls, in bis hack. A dispute sprang up be- tween Strange and Murray, about Mur- ray’s being a little behind time, during which Murray gave Strange the lie. By the interferance of friends a difficulty was prevented at that time. When the party bad driven about thirteen miles from Waynesville, a wheel of the hack broke, and Murray weut off to a neighboring house to get something with which to fix it and while detained at the place the par- ty, with the exception of young Strange, engaged in a game of euchre to while away the time. Young Strange stepped up to where they were playing and asked young Mr. Bridgers to lend bim his pistol. Bridgers handed it to him, and Strange then left the party at their cards. Shortly afterwards the discharge of a pistol war heard, and when the party reached the spot where the pistol was fired, they found Murray shot throagh the heart and dead, and young Strange near by. No one witnessed the shooting, aud Strange, by the advice of counsel, has made no statement as yet as to what took place betweer them when they met. Strange and Bridgers were arrested and are now lyiug in Waynesville jail. Exaggerated statements of the matter spread over the county, and a handred or more men assembled at Waynesville. So great was their indignation that it was with difficulty that the crowd were re- strained from mobbing the young men who composed the party.—Char.

He did what any other Southern leader would have done in the sam: place. He stood by his post to the end. When he fell be fell with the Confederacy. Therefore, to deal with Mr. Davis as in any way more responsible for the rebellion than any before the war is to do him a great injus~ tice and onrselves a discredit.” And of the Grand Army of the Repub lic the Herald says: ‘This organization is known to be political and secret in its character, Its members use their army record for selfish political purpores. The true soldiers of the North and South have forgotten everything of the past except its glory, and they think only of their oponents as chivolrous and brave men. We uever hear of this Grand Army of the Republic except when it makes the mischief that is taking place in I}linois. The business of its leaders seems to be to fan the flame of civil wrath and diligently seek offices. An act like this in Illinois, their rejection of the kind- ness and courtesy of Mir. Davia, will do more towarde exasperating the Soath and intensifying the bitterness of feeling which it has long been the aim of patriotic men, without distinction of section or party, to extinguish, than anything that has oc- cured fora long time.

A softer theme I chuse, a virgin theme, unconscious of the Muse, put fruitful, rich, well suited to inspire me purcst frenzy ot poetic fire. Despise it not, ye Bards to terrer steel'd, Who hurl'd your thunders round the epic fleld: Nor ye who strain your midnight throads Le sing joys that the vineyard and the sti-house bring ; or on some distant fair your notes employ. apd speak of raptures that you n’er enjoy, J sing the sweets I know, the charms I feel, My morning incense, and my evening meal, ‘The sweets of H isty-Pudding. Come, dear bowl, Olide o'er iny palate, ind inspire my soul, The milk beside thee, smoking from the Kine, Its substance mingled, married in with thine, @all coo! and temper thy superior heat, And save the pains of blowing while I eat. Oh! could the smooth, the emblematic song Flow like thy genial julces o’er my tongue, Could those m{ld morsels in my numbers chime, And as they rollin substance, roll in rhyme, Xo more thy awkward unpoetic name Should shun tue Muse, or prejudice thy fame; But daing zrate fil to the accustom'd car, Al bards suenuld catch it, and all realms revere! Agdst ine first with pious totl to trace Thro’ wrecks of time thy Uneage and thy race ; Declare what lovely squaw, In days of yore, (Bre great Coluinbus sought thy native shore) Pirst gave the to thee world; her works of fame Bave liv d indeed, but liv’d without a name. Some tawny Ceres, codness of her days, yirt learn’d with stones tocrack the welldry’d maize Thro’ the rough sleve to shake the golden show'r, la beiling water stir the yellow four: The yellow flour, Destrew'd and stir'd with haste, Swell in the flood and thickens to a paste, Then puffs and wallops, rises to the Driin, Drinks the ury knobs that on the surface swim: Tne knobs at last the busy Inte breaks, And the whole muss Its true consistence takes, Could but her sacred name, unknown 30 long, Byxo like her labors, to the song of song, To her, to thei, I’d consecrate ny lays, And blow her pudding with the breath of pralse. K was Oella, whom I sang before, Ihere aseribe her one great virtue more. Not thro’ the rich Peruvian realms alone The fame of Sol’s swoet daughter should be known, But o'er the world’s wide climes should live secure, Far as bis rays extend, as long us they endure. Dear Hasty-Pudding, what uppromis’d joy Bxpands my heart, to meet thee in Savoy! Doom'd o’er the world turo’ devious paths to roam, Rach clime my country, and each house ny hone, My soul {s sooth'd, my cares have found an end, Igreet my long lost unforgottco friend. Yor thee thro’ Parts, that corrupted town, How long in vatn [ wandered up and down, Where shumeless Bacchus, with his drenching hoard Cold from his cave usurps the morning board: London is !ust in smoke and steep'd in tea; No Yankee there can lisp the ame of thee ; The uncouth word, a libel on the town, Woukd call a proclamation from the crown.° Por climes oblique, that fear the sun’s full rays, Chill'd tn their fogs, exclude the generous inaize ; A grain whose rich luxuriant growth requires Short gentle showers, and Dright etherial fires. But here tho’ distant from our native shore, With mutual glee me incet and laugh once more, The same ! I know thee by that yelluw face, That strong complexion of true Indian race. Which time can never change, nor soll tmpatr, Nor Alphtn snows, nor Turkey's morbid air ; Por endless years, thro’ every mild domatn, When grows the maize, there thou are sure to reign. But man, more fickle, the bold Ucense claims, In different realms to give thee different names. Thee to the soft nations round the warm Levant Palanta call, the French of course Polante ; B’en in thy native regions, how I blush To hear the Pennsylvanians call thee Mush? On Hudson’s banks, while men of Belgic spawn Insult and eat thee by the name suppaicn, All spurious appellations void of truth : I've better known thee from my earliest youth, Thy name ts Hasty-Puidting ! thus our sires Were wont to greet thee fuming from their fires ; And whfle they argu’d In thy just defence With logic clear they thus explained the sense ;— “In haste the bolling cauldron o'er the him, “ Receives and cooks the ready powd red maize; , “In haste “tis ser’d, and then in equal Aasée, “ With cooling milk, we make the sweet repast. “No earving to be done, no knife to grate “ Thetender ear, and wound the stony plate; “Butithe smooth spoon, just fitted to the lip, * And taught with art the yleiding mass to dip, * By frequent journtes to the bowl well stor’d, “Pertotts the hasty honors of the board.

What though‘the generous cow gives,me to quaff The mfik nutritious ; am I then a calf? Or cakthe gegiug of the noisy swine, Tho’ gursia. on pudding, thence lay claim to mine?

Not so the Yankey—his abundant feast, With samples furnished, and with plainness drest, A numerous offspring gathers round the board, And cheers alike the servant and the lord; Whose well-bought hunger prompts the joyous gaste, And health attends them from the short repast, While the full pail rewards the milk-maid’s toil, The mother sees the morning cauldron boll; To stir the pudding next demands their care, To spread the tabie and the bowls prepair ; To feed the children as their portions cool, And comb their heads, and send them off to school. Yet may her simplest dish, some rules impart, For nature scorns not 4]i the aids of art, E’en Hasty-Pudding, purest of all food, May still be had, indifferent or good, As sage experience the short process guides, Or want of skill, or want of care presides. Whoe’er would form it on the surest plan,’ To rear the child and long sustain the man; To shield the morals while it mends the size, And all the powers of every food supplies, * Attend the lessons that the Muse shall bring, Suspend your spoons and Usten while I sing. But since, O man! thy life and health demand Not food alone, but labour from thy hand, First in the field, beneath the sun’s Strong rays, Ask for thy mother earth the needful maize; She loves the race that court her yielding soll, And gives her bounties to the sons of toil. When now the ox, obedient to thy call, Repays the loan that flll’d the winter stall, Pursue bis traces o'er the furrow’d plain, And plant in measur’'d hills the golden grajr, But when the tender gerine begins to shoot, And the green spire declares the sprouting root, Then guard your nursiing from each greedy foe, Th’ insidious woria, the alldlevouring crow. A Uttle ashes, sprinkled round the spire, Soon steep’d tn rain, will bid the worn retire ; The feather’d robber with his hungry maw Swift filles the field before Ue man of stmriw, A frightful image, such as schocl boys bring When met to burn the Pope or hang the King. Thrice in the season through each verdant row The faithful hoe, a double task that takes, rains, Ere yet the sun the seat of Cancer gains; But when his tierest fires emblaze the land Then start the juices, then the roots expand ; Then like a coluinn of Cortathian mould, The stalk struts apward, and the leaves unfold ; The bushy branches all the ridges Nil, Entwine their amns, and kiss from hill to hill. Here cease to vex them, all your cares are done : Leave the last labora to the parent sun ; Beneath his genial sfilles the well-drest fleld, When Autumn calls a plenteous crop shall yteld. Now the strong faliage bears the standards high, And shoots the tall top-gallants to the sky ; The suckling ea thier silxy fringes bend, And pregnant frown, their swelling coats distend ; The loaded stak while still the burthen grows, O’erhangs thespace that runs between the rows: High as a hoytleld waves the silent grove, A safe retreg for little thefts of love, When the pedg’d roasting ear invite the maid, To meet he¢swatn beneath the new-form’d shade : His generos band unloads the cumbrous him, And the gen spoils her ready Dasket till: Small comensation for the tw0-fold bliss, The proiys’d wedding and the present kiss. Slight#epredations these ; but now the moon Calls ff his hollow tree the sly raccoon ; And wile by night he bears the prize away, The pider squirre] labours through the day. Roth Aleves alike but provident of time, A vime, rare, that almost hides their crime.

At last the closing season browns the plaln, d ripe October gathers in the grain ; eep loaded carts the spacious corn Louse all, Phe sack distended marches to the mill; . . fhe lab’ring mill beneath the burthen groans, /And show’rs the future pudding from the stones: / Til the glad Louse wife greets the powder’d gold, And the new crop exterminates the old.

I leave them to their feast. There still belong Por rules they are, tho’ ne’er unfolded yet, Nice rules and wise how pudding should be ate. Some with molasses line the luscious treat, And mix like Bards, the useful with the sweet. A wholesome dish, and well deserving praise, A great resource in those bleak wintry days, When the chill’d earth lies buried deep in snow, And raging boreas drives the shivering cow. Bicst cow! thy praise shall still my notes employ, Great source of health, the only source of joy ; How oft thy teats these pious hands have prest ! How oft thy bounties prove my only feast ! How oft I’ve fed thee with my fav’rite grain ! And roar’d, like thee, to tind thy children slain! Ye swains who know her various worth to prize, Ah! house her well from Winter's angry skies, Potatoes, pumpkins, should her sadness cheer, Corn from your érib, aid fro your beer: When Spring returns she’lt well acquit the loan, And nurse at once your infant and her own. Milk then with pudding I should always chuse ; To this in future I confine my Muse, Till she in haste some farther hints unfold, Well for the young, nor useless to the ol. First in your bow! the milk abundant take. Then drop with care along the silver lake Your flakes of pudding ; these at first will hide But when their growling mass no more can sink, When the soft island looms above the brink, Then check your hand: you’ve got the portion’s duc, So taught our sires, amd what they taught is true, There is a choice in spoons. Tho’ small appear The nice distinction, yet to me ’tis clear, The deep bowl’d Gallic spoon, contriv’d to scoop In ample draughts the thin diluted soup, Performs not well in those substantial things, Whose mass adhesive to the metal clings; Where the strong labial muscle must embrace, The gentle curve, and sweep the hollow space, With ease to enter and discharge the freight, A bow] less concave but still more, dilate, Becomes the pudding best. The shape, the size, A secret rests unknown to vulgar eyes. Expertenc’d feeders can alone impart A rule so much above the lore of art. These tuneful lips, that thousand lips have trted, With just precision could the point decide. Tho’ not li Song; the muse but poorly shines In cones and cubes and geometric lines, Yet the true form, as near as she can tell, Is that small section of a goose-egg-shell, Which into equal portions shall divide The distance from the centre to the side. Fear not to slaver; ‘tis no deadly sin, Like the free Frenchman, from your joyous chin Suspend the ready napkin; or, like me, Poise with one hand your bow! upon your knee; Just in the zenith your wise head project, Your full spoon, rising in a line direct, Bold as a bucket, heeds no drops that fall, _ The wide mouth’d bowl will surely catch them alL THE LIFE OF THE HOUSE. Vhe Duke of Provence knocked on his ' daughter’s door with the hilt of his sword: “Arise, Maguelonne; it is break of day and the Angelus will soon sound; thy brothers walt for the below; the horses paw the pavement in the court; it is time te depart.” It was just after a bloody war, in order to cemcnt a treaty of peace, that Maguel- onne was married, while a mere child, to Prince Herbert, who was of the same age. After that day they had grown up, sepa- rated from one another; but the time had now come to conduct Magueloone to her husband. Maguelonne made the sign of the cross to commend her soul to the virgin. She rose and put on her bridal robe with the ! long veil hanging to the floor; then, very pale, she went below. Her brothers, ' looking at her adwiringly, placed her in the saddle. “T» the realm of Prince Herbert a great distance from here ?” she asked. “Oh, a loug way off. ‘I'o get there we must traverse plains and forest, and as- cend mauy a blue topped mountain. Then Maguelonoe bowed her head in sadness. Nothiug had ever before separ- ated her from the home where she was born. ‘I‘bus mounted, she could touch the ivy which covered ite walls, but now her father and brothers said, “let us des art.” Just thea her mother came out of the house bathed in tears, and, with trem- bling arms, pressed against her heart the little dainty foot of her daughter, as it; rested in the stirrup. “Thou leavest me,”’ shc cried, “whom I nourished with this breast! ‘The room where thou did’st sleep (oh, my heart !) will remain ewpty, and I shall scek vain- ly for thee in my deserted home,”’ “Alas!” exclaimed Maguelonne, ‘ia it not you and my father who has given me to Prince Herbert?” But it was in vain that tears glittered like drops vf dew iu the eyes of the uoble girls; the calvacade moved, and the foot of Maguelonne drop ped from her mother’s hands: The stirrips jingled, the spurs clanked, and the pebbles struck fire under the hoofs of the horses. The Duke of Provence and his three sons were powerful horsemen, clad in blacs armor. the terror of the Sars acens. In the midst of this double hedge of iron rode the fair Maguclonue on a white palfrey. They rode on and on; they traversed the plains, they disappeared under the green yault of the farest; then they could at last be seen riding on the side of the ragged mountain, heir thoughts were ead; not a song not a bellad did they atter to divert them- selves by the way. Neveythclese, days and nights had gone by since their departure, when at the ford of a river; the old duke atopped his horse entirely. ‘As truly asthe waters of this river will never fow past bere aggin, so true is it,” said he, “that I will not go on one step farther. ‘Thy brothers, oh, Mag- uelonne, will accompany the farther; my road is now bebind me.” ‘‘What will become of me if thon dost abandon me?” said the lovely Maguel- onne, in tears. “Ts it not right I should go to eonsole thy mother? Farewell, dear child; years have accumulated over my bead, and per- haps I shall die without ever seeing thee again.” 1 | ness, and our mother N.C, abandon me.” Her brothers bowed their: | lence. : “How long and tiresom? ti My brothers, we pass ‘witha frown forest to mountain aad tain to plain, but we do uot destination. Are we not try of dreams ?” ea “No, my, sister; but ee Herbert lives a long distance deyond those blae mountains there.” Ae “Still on, ny brothers; dogs it not seem to you that as we advance the sky dark- ens benind us, the grase, witherr, and the treee bow their weeping down to the earth 7?” .s. “Yes, Maguelonne; sadne@a ¢xtends be- hind thee because thon wilt ‘never pass this way again. At this how our father travels alone, his heart dispair.”” “Dou you think that I have not my, por- tion of grief? But what do I see? Is it thy horse which rises on his feet, or thou who pullest the bridle?” “Do not accuse my horse. ‘This oak at my right marks the line that I ought not to paes. My brothers will descend with thee to the valley.” “What!” cried Maguelonne, with clasp- ed hands; “hast thou not sworn not to leave me 7” “Vain oath, my sister. Ought I not to go and console my father and motber? Farewell, Maguelonne, much beloved. I am young, but one often sees the young dic before the old. Shall I never see thee again 9” “Depart then, my brother. No; by the Holy Virgin, thou hast not truly loved me.’ Of the two brothers who remained, Amaury the youngest, was very highly accomplished, and Maguelonne loved him intensely. : “Dear Amaury,”’ said she, “sing me one of the ballads that please the knights and ladies so. much.”’ “Willingly, my sister; I will sing to thee the ballad of Inesille da Bearn.” “Stop,” cried Maguclonne; “that is .a very wicked ballad which you have eho- sen for me.” But while she was speaking the second of her brothers halted suddenly. Magu elonne understood that this one also was going to leave her. She lagked at him in scorn and anger. “What is it, then, that frightens thee, viliant kuinght? Is it this grasshopper which croeses the road? Ah! keep silent; what canst thou say to me? Go, and be curacd,jthou who dost abandon the wom- an who ia thy sister!” Having thus spoken in violent passion, for the blood of hir race was ws fiurce as the flame, she lowered her vei] 80 as not to see her brother depart. Very svon a traveler passed them on route: “Salutations to thee, Maguelonne; thy brother who has just left the was robbed and wounded by the bandits.” Anon there comes another: ‘God pro- tect thee, Maguelonne; thy eldest Lrother has fallen into an ambuscade and the Moors have carrid him off into captivity.” A third called to her from a distance: “A pleasant journey to thee, Maguelonne; dost thou know that thy father, the Duke of Provence, was drowned in crossing the -yiver?” A fourth passed by and said : “Pray to God, beautiful woman; the house where thou wast boro bas fallen in the flames, aad they are secking the body of thy mo~ therim the ruins.” “Hearken, Maguclonne!”’ cried Amaury; “by the holy rocd, my borse shall fecl the spur !”’ “Body of God! but I am overwhelmed! Wait, dear brother, nor leave me alone in this dark, fierce place !” But there passed at this moment a fifth traveler, who crossed over on the opposite side : “Hasten thy steps, fair Maguelonne, lovely maiden for an eager husband’s arme; Prince Herbert is dying of grief, for he has been told that his young. wife was carried off on the journey, and no ove kuows what has become of her.” “Day of misery !’’ cried the poor girl; “let us separate, my brother, and let us pray ta God to conduct me to the man to whow I belong.” Then pale and trembling, she pressed on alone upon her borse. But the sky become darker than night; the tempest broke loose with violence; gloomy birds glided through the darkness, skimming with their heavy wings the soft cheeks of the young bride. Her horse overeome by terror, piunged madly forward. Maguel- onne let herself slide to the ground, and continued the journey on foot; the thickets caught her rich dress iu their thorny arms, the stones tore her velvet shoes iuto shreds, and made her delicate fect bleed, At this moment a hermit met her. “Ab! father,” said Maguelonne, ‘take pity on my misfortunes. Of my three brothers, the eldest is wounded, the second is a captive, and the third las gone to help the other two. The Duke of Provence, father, has perished in the great river, ny mother lies buried under the ruins of our house, and Prince Herbert is perhaps dy- ing at this moment. Has not God said, ‘a woman shall leave father and mother to go with her husband, and forsake all to cleave to him?’ ‘'ell me, man of God, have J acted well ?” “Yea, thou art a noble woman, Maguel- oune.” Then, how maraeulous! The heavens cleared away, the tempest subsided in the distance, and, while the raiu fell in drops from the leaves of the trees, the birds be- gan to sing. “Tell me, huly father, what dors all this signify ? Behold, even now the sun shines again, the trees are still, and the birds siug.” “The will of God be done!

But that which was the greatest surprise of all was to find her father in the great hall, with her mother and brothers, who waited for her in festive costume. “Be blessed, dear child,” said the old duke; ‘thou who hast preferred thy has- band to all others; thou shalt be a noble lady in the land, and command many ser- vauts. But, God is my witness, if thou badst failed in this trial the doors of a convent would have shut thee ia for- ever.” Having thus spoken, he embraced Mag- uelonne, and there were briliant festivities held ou this joyful occasion which were heard of throughout the whole of Christ- endon. Teach Piety. We confess to a reasonable surprise that the end of all Sunday School work does not seem to be, essentially and of course, to teach piety. It is very little consolation after a jingle of hymns and miscellany to hear it said, “Ah! well, it will do them good. It may have been better for them than to be at home. “We are not certain.” The end and aim of all Sunday School work evidently should be, not to build up a school; not to teach Bibical facts, but to lead the soul to a pcisonal knowledge of its God. Do not mistake us as mean- ing to condemn efforts to render the school instructive, entertaining, delightful. But the atmosphere should be responsibility to the Father. A school for patriotism might lose itself in drill and parade. A school for philanthropy iu general axioms and a dieplay of generosity. In seeking to cultivate the higher grace of piety many lose themselves iu the routing and form- ularics. What we want to do is to impress it upon the superintendents that they should so arrange and lead the scliool that all shall feel it is God’s school. If we fail with the Sunday Scheol, God pity the young souls. It is true that we muet lead them to personal consecration to the right. More depends on the superivtendant than on all the leaders. If be be a pious, praycrfal soul, sweet and true to God, he will be wise and true with the school. The tone will be all right even if machineay be not the most approved.—S.

Among the marvels of the deeade which is to be so brightly distinguished by the Centennial celebration of American Lude- pendence, is the rapid progrese which printing has made in Japan since 1870. ‘Vhe advances achieved by typography in the densely-populated and for many ages benighted Asiatic empire, in the short period of five years, can only fittingly be described by one word—wonderful. In an Oriental country, intensely prejudiced against Western civilization, where neis ther types, newspapers nor books existed ten years ago, there are aow published thirty-four newspapers; eight of them are ixgued daily, and the majority have been established since 1869. There has also been erected a type foundry, is in active operation. Many printing presses lave been ims ported, and more are needed, and no doubt goon be sent for. A number of Awmeri- cans and Europeans are in Japan busily engaged in preparing for the press dic tionaries; vocabularies, phrase books, and grainmars, in the English, French, Ger- man, and Italian languager. Learned Niphouese are translating, with a yiew to immediate publication, works on medicine, law, political economy, astronomy, avd other subjects. The oldstime opposition to printing has vanished, and the clinking of type and the clattering of presses will do more in five years to civilize and chris- tianize Japan than would have been ac- complished in the same direction by fifty years bombardment from the. combined fleets of Europe and America. ; aut sel a eenionn at) «lane eaeel soon : n- | r‘iu he favor that ebé cain 00" ‘habits: bas eyes, hair, complexion, and ‘heft’ that please me well, As far as I'am aware, there are no abbreviations neqessary to the fajl acceptance in the faith.

Jobn Randolph was a great bible rea- der and was deeply concerned with reli- gious subjects. He employed an exeell- emt and eloquent man, Mr. Abner Clop- ton, to preach every Sunday to his ne- groes, in the large chapel he had erected on hia plantation. When at home he invariable attended these services, taking his seat by the preacher on the open platform, from which the preacher con- dusted the services. On mang occasions while kneeling beside the preacher, who was prone to be carried away by the fervor of prayer, Randolph would slap him on the back and call out loudly, “Clopton, that won’t do; that’s not sound doctrine. Clopton, take that back;’’ and if Clopton remonstrated, Randolph, thougb keeping himsclf on his knees, was ready at once for an argument to maintain his oint. No onebut Mr. Clopton, who Knew the eccentricity and honest motives of the man, cculd have borne with these irreverent interruptions while m the midst of prayer; but Mr. Clopton, when he found Randolph determined to argue the point, either gracefully yielded or pro-~ posed to note the point aud» argue it at the dwelling-house. ‘l'o visitors at the chapel, and they were many, these scenes were exceedingly curious and sometimes absurdly ludicrous. But that was Mr. Randolph's way. It is said that on one cold Sunday, in this chapel on Mr Randolph's plantation, while giving out the hymn in the old fashioned way, two lines ata time, and it was being lustily sung by the negroes, Mr. Clopton, the preacher, observed a negro mat put his foot, upon which was a uvew brogan, on the hot stove. ‘Tarn- ing toward him, he said in his measured voice, “You rascal you, you'll burn your shoe ;” as this was the rhyme of the cxact metre of the hymn, the negroes all sung it in their loudest tones. Smiling at the error, the preacher attempted mildly to explain by saying: “My colored friends, indeed you are wrong; I didu’t intend that for the song;” but there it was again, another rhyme in good measure, so the negroes sung that too with pious fervor. ‘I'urning to his cofigregation, the preacher said some- what sharply, “I hope yon will not sing again, until I have had time to explain;’ but this only aroused the negroes, who sang the last word with increased vigor. Mr. Clopten, feeling that his tongue scemed to be tuned to rhyme, abandoned all efforts at explanation, and weut on with his seryices. — Talk about the Keely motor is revived at Philadelphia.

The reader is referred to the Raleigh Seatinel’s report in another colamn of the proceediags of the two. first days: It will be seen that the respective parties stood very firmly by the eandi- Gates of their choice for President —espe- cially the Democrats. It ia devoutly to be hoped that mem- bers on both sides may have a duc regard to the dignity of the position the people have called them to fill, and may labor with singleness of purpose to amend the Constitation io accordance with the wants aud pecessities of the people.

Radicals can do the Vike and'a great deal worse, from day to day and year to year, with perfect impu- nity; for they know very well by what a strong hand they hold power and plao. There are few large minded and con- scientious men in the Radical side of the Convention who may cndeavor to dis- charge their duty to the State both from the love they cherish for her and oct of respelt to the personal record they would leave behiad for the inspection of poster- ity.

Scenes were wiinessed which, bave no precedent in this State. Party tactics of a most novel kind were display- ed. ‘Phere were a serics of surprises throughout the day, First, it was not to be expected that every member of the Convention would be iu his seat wheu the gavel of the officer designated by the law to call the body to order desecuded upon the Speaker’s table,-- marking the dividing point ketween two great epochas in North Carolina history. Butthey wereall there Every man was in hia seat—119 in all, representing the sovereign people of our grand old Commonwealth. There were surprise when Judge Sets tle assumed the duty of perfecting the or- ganization. ‘he public had been prepared by certain newspaper statements to see the Secretary of State perform the office. There were some feeling of relict on the part of all law-abiding, and peace loving men, when the Associate Justice above mentioned took the Chair instead of Dr. Howerton ; for, it had been bruited about that the Secretary of State would have taken what would have been considered an arbitrary and unwarranted step in re~ gard to the Robeson County case. His opinions on that point we are informed differ very pointedly and widely trom those of the learned Justices of the Su- preme Court, so far as the opinions of the latter on this point are known. Any despotic act on the part of the ewearing io officer would almost certainly have led to scenés of violence such as have never be- fore been witnessed in this State, though Louisiana bas seen such to her sorrow. The free representatives of North Caro- lina, like those of Louisiana, are not to be trifled with ; they will not quietly beud the neck at the biddiug of men disposed to act tyranically. . E | But this surprise was wot eo gratifying. as that occasioned among. Conpervatives when Judge Bettle decided to admit the Robeson Couuty delegates to seats ov the. floor, It was apprehended that he might yield to the impulses of the zealous partis- av, rather than to the dietates of an en- lightened judgmeut, This was the more pleasing as it came after the excitement stirred up by his first announcement that be would consider the Robeson County. care after be had finished with all the other delegates. Judge Settle was probably misonder- sod ; but certain it is that when he pro- posed to jump Robeson county, his posi tina was assailed with a bolduess, vigor, and tact by Messrs. Manning, Cliagman, Turner aod Benuett, whieh elicited the adwiration of all who witnessed it. The breeze didnot subside ‘until his Houor succeeded in making himself properly understood.

Unless there ia ample space above to allow: the-impuse air to escape, « the stable is filed with eddies and currents below, which are. injnrioas to cattle.— Ventilation should be by means of small epaces, which admit numerous small streams of fresh air. If there is an opeu space above the eattle, these small streams iutermingle without cansing any percep- tible draft of cold air. Proper ventilation consists in having the air within exacily the same coudition ag it is without—pure, fresh, abundant iv quantity and equal in quality—so that the air which the ani- tals breathe will be as pure as that which flows aroand their feet and legs. This is a subject which deserves the carctul at- tention of farmers, ee ae Bora Sipes oF rue Qoestion — Senator Sargent, who keeps the country Upping up by staying on the Pacific coast aud waving the bloody shirt’ for the Administration, has been making a rewarkble speech, which the Aduninistra- tion organs quote approvingly. -- Here is aextract: ‘Have you thought, fel- Jow citizens,” said be “that the redue- tion of-the National debt bas been $120 a minute since you have sat here and | commenced talking 2 Taking the aver: ageofthe debt tas gone on at that rate.

And now we have the truth abont the killing eight negroes at New Hope church, in Noxebne county, Mississippi, which was telegraphed to usand sent North by the Assoeiated Press in such a taanneras to leave the references to be drawn that it was “another Democratic ont- rage.” We learn from the Atlanta Constitu- tion that it did not grow out of a quarrel be-’ tween a negro and a white wan as stated in the presss dispatch. No white men werd connected In it except poasibly as part of a posse Summon ed by the Sheriffuf the county, who is a Radi- cal. ‘Phere was a quarrel of some kind between the negroes at New ITupe church. One section of them senta party into Macon, the county seat, to swear out warrants against the other party. All concerned were Radicals, bat there does not seein to have been anything of a political nature in the quarrel. At least nothing of that kind had been developed at the latest accounts. ‘The sheriff. knowing the des- perate character of the men he was called upton to arrest, summoned a posse, armed them with Winchester rifles, and proceeded to thé church to make the arrests. When the posse came in ‘\sightthe negroes, who were armed with shot- guns, pistols, and other murderous weapons, was injured. The fire was returned by the posse at longrange, and eight of the negroes were killed, several were wounded, and twenty-five of them taken prisoners. The negroes fled confusedly, leaving their dead and wonnded in the hands of the posse. The Radical papers will find it rather difficult to manufacture an “outrage” from this material. ——_><—><— Important Results Pleasantty Achieved. . Akhough the days of irratiénal medication are happily passing away, and intelligent phy- sicians have ceased fo measure the supposed efficacy ofa remedy by the violence of its effects, there still linger among the older prac- titioners a few of those predilections in favor of “heroic” reatment, which it would be lucky for their patienta if they had abandoned. One of these is a fondness for administering drastic purgatives, such as blue pill, calomel, jalap and caster oil. A contrast of the effects of tlrese drenching drugs with the mild and bene- ficient operation of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, is the very best argument that can be adduced against the wisdom of such destructive treat- ment. The old fashioned eathartics convalse the stomach, and relax the bowels so abraptly and eopiously as to weaken them. Hostetter,s Bitters, on the contrary, never gripe the intes- tines, but produce a laxative effect resembling the action of nature. Atthe same time they remove the cause of constipation, by arousing the dormant liyer to secrete the bile necessary to the regular performance of tlie excretive function, and enable the.stomach to thoroughly digest the food. Indigestiori and biliousness having been thus overcome, a regular habit of body is the necessary consequence, which the oedasional subsequent use of the Bitters renders permanent, Every disagreeable symptom which, in the absence of perfect digestion and evacuation, harasses the system, vanishes. gn- der the influence of the’ great national. stom- achic and alterafive.

We had a devil ouce, but the place that eret while knew him knows bim vo -more forever, He was a devil fair to luok apou. When he took of his rings to wash the rollers, and stood aloof in a faultless shirt and dove colored pants; it watered the envious soul of the looker on with ad- miration. He was a devil of a fellow, and his name it was Brooks. By profes. sion he was a lady killer, buat he bad a fair practice at the bar, considering hia yeath, being drunk on every holiday with as much dexteri'y and eloquence as an old practitioner. He waa bred in the dry goods line, but haviug been blighted by his employers, he resolved to embrace one of the learned professions. Having al- ready made considerable progress, he naturally gravitated towards tbe’ devil and: chose that of a prister. As he rat before us iu the office, geutly and art- istieally settling his tie with a delicately gloved band, while he explained the con- victions which had sent him to wrestle with letters and rollers, it s:irred our soul with pity. We said come. He came. That is, he came occasionaHy other ens agementa permitting. He smoked cigare, with feet on the editors table, brought bis friends iv ou Sundays to take a hand at carde, amused himself with dropping quads from a three-story window and whistling for the edification of the com- poeisors, and otherwise distorted himself asa young aud devilish bigh-toned devil abould be expected. Qn holidays, wheu be was sick, he could be seea taking an airing beliind a livery team. He got $2 50 per week, but uever walked. At the races he shone; except, possibly, for the brief time he lay under a tree, drunk. But the brightest stars do not shine al- wave; so the bluest devils anon happily hide their rays trom orortal ken. He js nomore.

With regard to management, never Starve & sheep; even ia summer. 2. Do uot feed much grain if you have hay, but at all events never let your sheep grow pour. 3. Many farmers lose by letting their sheep live as loug in autumn without feed- ing as possible; cousequently, if they are in govd conditivn in October, and lose flesh, and are made to gain again, there will bea tender place in the wool. 4. Have yourlambs come in March, if coarse wool; in May, if fine. ° 5. Shear your sheep, if possible, before the 20th ot May. 6. Keep your sheep froin all cold storms, at all times of the year, and be as careful of thein as your horses. Many sheep perish by shewers, after shearing. even iu July; so I say shear atatime ofthe year that they can be housed for a week after shearing ; aud in storms in autumn. if the sheep are exposed, it takes a long time to dry tbe wool, aud the sheep are consequently un- comfortable fur a lung time ; evlds and con- suinption are the result. 7. Raise the standard of your flock ; weigh every fleece at shearing ; number the sheep, aud uote the weight of the fleece. aud then sell or kill your poorest sheep, as like pro- duces like, and your average will soun go from four to sevea pounds. 8. But little need be said about raising lainbs ; ouly take care of them, and be sure, especially, to kuow whether the lamb is able to draw the milk. This is one great objec- tion to having lainbs come at the pasture, agthey do not receive the attention they ought to have. ——+- a> s—_____-— Female Life in Havana, ———— Great scarcity of women at Havana.

The nature of the soil hae much to do with the length and number of roots.— In light, poor soil I find roots of June grass four feet below the surface. Peo- ple are apt to under-estimate the length, amount and importance of the roots of the fuer grasses, wheat, oats, etc. A young wheat plant when pulled up only shows a small part of its roots. They often go down four or six feet or more.— The-roots of a two-year old peach tree in light eoil were found seven feet four inehes long. In dry, light soil, this season we pulled up one parsnip three feet anda half long. Ot course smaller roots went down still further. - *'The noted buffalo grass on the dry western praities is described in the agri- cultural reports at Washington as having yery short roots ; bat Mr. Felker, one of ‘our college graduates, found, where a well was being dug, that the roots went down seven feet. ‘lhe roots grow best where the bert food is to be found.

FOURTH Day. THurRsDay, Sept. 9, 1875. Mr. Jarvis called the Convention to order at 10 a. m. The journal of yesterday was read aud approved, Mr Manning, from the special commits tee_on rules, submitied a report which was read by the Assistant Clerk and took its place on the calendar. Mr Badger moved that the officer call- ed Doorkeeper be called Sergeant-at- Arms. Mr Manning said that by general eon- sent that officer would be so desiguated in the rules. Ou motion of Mr Darham, it was a- greed that Mr Norton, the Assistant Dourkeeper elected yesterday, wasto -be designated as Doorkeeper, aud Mr Peter’ Hughes, of Alamance, was declared As- sistant Doorkeeper. Mr Price offered a resolution of instruc tions to the committee ou Privileges and Elections (when appointed) to inquire whether Mesers Badger, Mannix, Lebman, Young and Bryan are U. 8. officers, and if they are so, whether their seats in this Convention should be vacated. The res- olution was referred to the Committee on privileges and Election. Leave of absence was granted to Mr French until Monday. Mr Rumley moved that the President appoint a committee of five to wait on the Governor aud inform him of the organiza tion of the Convention. Mr Turner said that from the action of the Governor iu ordering an election fora delegate in Orange county, to fill a vacan~ cy, sowe thirty-five days after its assem~- bling he did uot think the Governor cared much about this Convention. He (the Governor) thought the present Counstiiu- tion good enough. ‘The Governor could have ordered the election in ten days. but in ordr to give his purty the advantage used the prerogative of his office to otifle the voice of Orange county atthe assem- bling of this body. He (Mr Turner) did not think that the courtesy proposed was due from this body to the Governor, &c. Mr Reid agreed with Mr Turner as_ to the official conduct of the Governor in the Orange county election, but it was proper Convention as a sovereign body, sitting in the Capitol of the State, should adopt this resolution of courtesy. After pro- ceeding in big remarks, and in answer to various interrogatives, he called attention to the anomaly in the action of the Gov- ernor; be (he Goveruor) ordered an elec tion for a delegate to this Couveution ten days after the time that he (the Gover- nor) urged that this body should adjourn aud go home, &e, Atter a long debate the motion of Mr Rumley was adopted ‘The report of ihe Committee on Rules was taken up and adopted. The Chairman appointed Messrs. Rum. ley, Keid, Lehman, Barringer and Bate- man as the Commitiee to wait on the Governor, Mr Young offered a resolution of in structions to the Commitie ou Privileges and Elections to inquire whether Messrs. Rumley, Turner, Vaughn, Dobson and Everett are not State ffice-holdera, and | if xo, should not their seats be vacated. Re fferred to the Committee on Privileges | and Elections, Mr ‘Parner said he was sorry that an amendment to the resolution was not in order, as be wished to iuelude the name of Judge Buxton. Ou motion the resolutions iu regard to the death of Gov. Graham was taken up. Mesers. Docsery, O'Hara, col., Smyth, col, Buxton Albertsou, Tourgee, Crosby, colored, and Robbins in support of the resolutions made remarks iu eulogy pon the decease. ‘The question recurred upou the adop- tion of these resolutions. Oa motion of Mr Tourgee the vote was and they were unaniv weusly adopted. In accordance witb the latter resolution of the series, the Convention adjourned in respect to the memory of the laie Hon.

A Chapter Surpassing the “Pirate's Own Book --A Leroic Wife and a Gallant Cook—How a Battle Raged for Two Days in Mid Occean [New York Herald.] THE STORY OF THE COOK. “My name is Henry Aiken,’ said the cook, “and I come from near Bremerhaven, in Germauy. Ou the night of the 15rb : Apr [ was asleep in the house on deck, next to the captain’s. ‘There were five meu forward, Miller, the Russ Fivn, Klue, the Frenchman —I don’t know bow to spell his name —Smish the American, the French boy, and Jacob, who is a Swede. I was asleep, and it was the watch of the mate, Charley Patterson; who went on deck 8 to 10 o’ciock, and Smith went to the wheel. The captain and his wite were asleep in their own cabin. When the se- cond mate went forward, Smith said that , the jib-sheet was cut; be cut it with a | kuife, I suppose, and he asked Jacob Limber to go to the wheel and relieve him, and the second mate went forward and saw that the sheet was parted. Switb and the second mate went out on the boom to fix it. MURDER BY TREACHERY. When they went out on the boom Smith had a capstan bar. I was asleep, but they confcesed it atter- ward to me; and Smith knocked the se- ‘cond mate on the head with the capstan bar and stunned him, and then drew him off into the sea, and he wasn’t seea any more, ‘I'hen they called up the first mate. Corry Patterson, aud South and Millér acd Klus jamped on him and knocked him with the irov capstau bar, and he said “Qh!” and they threw them overboard, and he wasn’t seen again either. Jacob was at the wheel, but he did nut know of it. ‘I'he first mate stood by Jacob’s whee! and cried out: What do you want?’ _and they told him that some man bad , broken his leg. The French boy waa then gagged fy them. I was asleep, and I heard a voice that was Miller’s pay out side of the house: “Get ap, a man has brokeu bis leg” I heard the missus (the cvptain’s wife) talkiog to the captain in theic own cabin. I looked oat of my window and saw Miller plainly ; there was a fire moonlight out; Miller had something ‘ behiud in his hand ; be shook his fist at me, and I didn’t know what it was for. 1 heard “the Captain’s lady say ‘Don’t go oat, “Will,” and Miller said to the Cap- tain, **Why don’t you come out and help the man that broke his leg?” I looked out my room to see it I could see either of of the mates, but, I could notsée them. I| thought that there was something wrong, and the Captain said, “Go forward aud see if you can find the mates." The Captain called for the mates again and there was no'atiswer. Then I went oat atid ‘went forward on the starboard side, aud stood ¢lose to Miller aud ‘Smith’ SUSPESNE AND TERROR, ““Leaive ot abdqden Was granted to Mgsaes. “ifrct Wks with thom pak Weeblan ole, eo ors ‘au frou bolt ix my ‘Hand. | ‘The’ Oa I did not see this, as | sa ~ t3 sg + Madvarad st ema t + HUGSs.

Ithen ‘went ‘aft and ‘told the Captain that I could not see of béar of the two mates por the French boy. | It was then after eleven o’clock at night, and I went, back into my room and staid there until about three o’elock in the morning. The Captain and] fastened the doors and because we thought that- they "e : e tig went forward with o ptain bad°a double-barrelied gun, bat it bad water in it, and he dried it and leaded it with shot. I went. to the main batch, and they could see me. I said again, “Where are the mates?” and they said, “They areall right,” the same as before. “They then said, “Come forward and we will tell you something,” and I said, “You leave me alone; I will go in my galley.” The galley and the fence, where six ot the mea (including the boy) slept, has a par- tition between them. I lita fire in the galley, and I came out after awhile and gota revolver. It was a five-barreled one. It never bad been fired, aud I came vut and tried one shot ; they were hiding behind the house. They came aft after awhile with stones and bottles. Miller had stones, and I told bim.I would go for- ward to see where the mates were, and asked him to drop the stones he had. He wouldn't do it. ‘They all had stoves and bottles. I fired one shot at Klue, but didn’t want to kill him. I didn’t bit him that time. he Captain bad a revolver, aud he stood farther afi; but it was bard to hit any of them, as they woald rau for ward and back and throw stones and bot- tles at us, HOMERIC SKIRMISHING. The Missua came forward and cried for them to surrender and to give up the mates, a8 we didn’t know what had _ be- come of them ; but they wouldn't answer us, but kept firing things at us. If they had got the Capiain’s wife I think they would have thrown her overboard. I saw Soiith stoop down to pick up a piece of board, and I shot at him and bit him in the fingers. I thought he was dead, be- cause he tumbled over, bat he didn’t bollo. IT saw Kline dodgiig on the outlook, and Efi: Cathy H. was laughi “yo Al doe When I bad thed all my charges 1 would go in the galley aud load again. This kind of fighting kept up all the day. Klue laughed at me a good many times, and T said, “By God, I will hit you yer before I get through with you.” The Captain commenced to fire quite lively, and wife would go in and out of the cabin and watch for ber husband ; but she didu’s know how to lead. I forgot to say that the French boy had been gagged and tied ; but he got away and came aft. He had a revolver, but he didn’t hit any of them. The revolver was no good. During the shootiug | at last hit Kluein the muscle of the arm, and I think the Captian bit Smith inthe wrist. Miller ther rushed forward witha piece of iron from the stove and struck the Captain in the face and eat him, and he was bleeding. Then he went aft aod clewed down the topsails, Jacob was aft with us, but he didn’t do any figh:iog He was at the wheel most of the time. Sumetimes he left it and the schoouer would drift a good deal. She was also taking water, and we would go out and work the pumps for awhile, and then we would have some more fighting. ‘Towards night of the first day after the mates were murdered the Captain’s wife came forward a..d begged of them to tell ber where the ‘boys’ were—that is, the mates —and spoke to Smith, but they wouldu’t answer her. We had bread and a little water and some cold salt beef, but we couldu’t cook. We weuld do a little fighting and then we would eat a little. I believe I fired forty to sixty shots at them. The boy was too frightened to do anything. The second night we had to watch all night, and we kept ourselves in the cabin and we kept good look out, and we could see Miller and Klue and Smith walkiog up and down to and fro. RETREAT OF THE ASSASSINS. Toward two o’clock in the morning ot the second night we couldu’t see anything of them any more, at daylight we came out aud tried the pumps, and while we were pumping we couldn’t see them at all. We got in the house back of the galley on deck, there are six banks in them, and they barricaded themselves in and shut themselves up so that we couldn’t get at them.

A ParisiAN Romance.—The following ingident in the life of Madame MacMabun is related : In the middle of the winter of 1838 a fire broke out in the female semioary at Limo- ges, France. and spread with such rapidity that it was feared all the inmates would per- igh. Suddenly there was a cry that one lit- tle girl bad-been left in her rvom. As the excited spectators were beginning to pray for the unfortunate child, a tall, girl, wath digheyeled blonde hairand flowing night- gown, cut through the crowd, and, with a sbriek of “I'll save ber!” that ruse above the sound of the crackling timbers and falling masonry, dashed into the duorway. A loud hurrah that was prolonged to the echo only to be repeated again attracted the attention of the. deyotees, and the pale-faced girl wus seen ah ieping through tbe flames. with the terrified child.., A few days thereafter King Louis Philippe sent. the he cine agold medal af the French for her bravery; and a captain (Sur Uke tad Ciaecet é girl's plack, yho ¥ ‘ ig Saint OPP Ichah bok Ob Drive yifl Madame MacMahon. os i will. be'shootiug:the mates," Lhadseme| mts Wome teh zal er wee Salisbary ,N.

Rollins and Pearson, of the Asheville Pioneer, Direetors on the Western N.C. Rail Boad. There is yet another to be ap- poioted, snd it is thought, Myers, of Ubariotte, will be the man. This is an outrage upen Salisbury. What has Char- “"Yette dene for the Western N.C. RR? Her people have been doing it all the damage possible, and especially her capi- talists. Salisbury first started and got the Road ander way, and her people are more deeply interested in its completion than any other town or county on the entire line. Why was Salisbary over- looked in this matter? It seems that nobody will suit the Guvernor but “fire thied” Radicals, then why was not D. L. Bringle or some other influential Rad from Salisbury appointed? We wanta Salisbury man on the Board, and as we ean’t get a Democrat we will take a Rad. Bat we claim a Director as a matter of right, and it will tell against the governor and his party, if he should refuse to re- eognize this just claim. —— The Tribune says that rome of the eng- sted Constitutional provisions are 80 obviously desirable that it wonders North Carolina bas gotten along eight or ten years without them ; such, for instance, a8 that providing for the disfranchisement of persous convieted of felony. But the perty of moral ideas has found jail birds and released peuitentiary convicts very d voters, aud diways reliable, and therefore bas opposed what is so “obvi ously desirable.” Just so. The trouble abont the calling of a Convention arose from the fact that the people did not know how bad a con- stitution they bad. If they had taken the pains to inform themselves concerning the character of the odious constitation under which they lived, when the opportunity was offered to remodel it, they would have rallied and carried the measare by fifty thousand majority. The necessity for a Constitutional Convention, and the wisdom of the call will yet be fully demonstrated and endorsed by the people. If our people would only read more, take wore of their home papers, and keep themselves better posted on their own home and State affairs, North Caroliua would soon be the most harmonious, most prosperous aud best governed State in the Union. > ke" The Usury question is exciting eome discussion again. From the great money centres, 8--alled, the howl against the Usury law comes. This seems to fodieate that the moneyed interest is most anxious to have the law repealed, which is the case. The banks which are es- tablished on a false and rotten basis are about to go under because they are not allowed to exact the usurious rate of from 15 to 30 per cent. interest they were, pre- viously to the passage of the present Usary law, gauging out of the pockets ot the laboring classes. The how! against the law is altogether in the interest of the money rings. The capitalists will alone be benefitted by its fepeal. Every thing has been done by the moneyed rings, the bankers and bro- kers, to bring about a money panick, to produee the impression, unjust as it is, that the Usury law is the cause of the tight times in money matters; aud not- withstanding every effort has been made and every trick and device resorted to for this purpes the times have not been half so bard, nor movey half so scarceas weand the friends of the law expected. The néoneyed rings, the usurious bankers and brokers, had made enough at excessive asury to evable them to hold their money from the public fora long time and to refuse to lend it, aod it was expected, as many of them have doue, that they would do it. But as it happened there were a great many honest men, who would not be guilty of the mean triek of sending their money off and of lockicg it up at the ex~ pense ofthe prosperity of the cogntry. They lent out their money at the rate of interest provided for in the law, and in this way relieved the distress that might otherwise have been felt. This arury law has saved full manya poor man’s property from being sold no- Ver7 many will yes be sold out, because it was not pareed earlier, but few will be sold out in the fatare, for liabilities incerred gince the paseage of the present Usury law.— Let thé Usary !aw stand.

Although the protestants are Republicans we are not afraid to assert and declare that they enunciate the principles of the State Rights Democratic party,and weare sorry that every Jacksou and Van Buren Democrat, and Jeffersonian Democrat, in the Convention, did not endorse the pro test. the call for Convention was first made by the Legislatare, that a Legislative body has no right to restriet the act of a Oon- titutiona) State Ccnvention, latare might as well prescribe a ple of the State, duly elected, shall do or nat do. we say on this subject. that ever led the Democratic party in this State, in a speech in 1854, said : stricted by the Legislature.

The Democratic Dele gates who promised to obey the restrict- ions have shown good faith, while Mr. ‘Tourgee aud hia party friends bave shown bad taith. But consistency is as mucb a jewel now as it ever was.—Cubarlotte Democrat.

We have no doubt the editor of the Democrat will be twitted for the above bold and manly sentiments by some back wouds newspaper, ifindeed, some eleventh hour convert does not propose to read him out of the party, for it is by some of the self Conatiiuted leaders regarded as dis- loyal to act independent or to speak out honest convictions. But we admire the Democrat's marly utierances. They are true, aud every man who has brains enongh to edit a newspaper, or to render him worthy of the position of a legislator, knows they are true. The Legislature has no right to restrict a Coavention, and whenever it is attempt ed the act is ipso facto null and void. ‘There ia no such right conferred or implied in the Constitution, and the people could not confer it upon the Legielature, with- out inaogurating a new order of things and rendering the necessity tor a Conven- sion, and the rightof the people to assemble iu Convention, not only impracticable, but an absolute nullity. We could fill this colamn with the names of the ablest men of this nation who have given it as their opinion that a Legislature has no right to restrict a Couvention. Ifsach a thiog were permissible in other countries, — if it were allowable in England, for in- stance, for one Parliament to restrict a |subsequent Parliament, it would not be so bad asa Legielature restricting a Con- vention in this country, since the Legistare is the creature of the Convention whieh ia, 80 to speak, the first cause of govern- ment. Some learned essayest say that a Cunvention must be called in conformity with law, and that any deviation from the act calling it would be revolution~ ary. Butthe act which the Legislature passed in calling a Convention is revo- lutionary pare and simple so far ae the restrictions are concerned, for it isa outside of the Constitation and unauthorized. We say, and we know that we cau sustaiv it by the best authorities, that there ia no power ina Legislature to restricta Conven- tion, or to require its members to take or subscribe an oath, or to submit their work tor ratification after it has been perfecied. We were opposed to the restrictions not we believed they were damaging to the think we Jost ten or fifteen thousand votes by reason of them); and we are now oppos- ed to the Convention's submitting its work dangerous and expensive to do go.

But Rowan, one of the wealthiest counties in the State can not afford to expend a few dollars to show the tax payers what has been done with their money. The posting at the court-house amounts to no publication at all. Perhaps, tbe Board prefer that the public should nat know any thing atout the receipts and disburse- wents. evinced by the members of the Democratic party in the Constitutional Convention, betoken great good to the State. Bat however remarkable aud admirable such conduct may be, nothing less can be ex- pected from the men whpse names are to be found in the list of delegates composing that body. ‘The people are must ably represented. There is no Jack of ability, and the patriotism, devotion, and respon- sibility of the delegates are a sufficient guarantee that the work of the Conven- tion will not only be well done, bat will be generally acceptable to the people. We are therefore in favor of leaving the work of amending the Constitution entire- ly with the delegates. Tere is no use of sabmitting it to the people for ratifica- tion.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON- VENTION. EIGHTH Day. At 10am, Mr President Ransom call- ed the Convention to order, Prayer by Rev Mr Spake of the Con- vention. Mr Bennett, from the Committee ou the Judicial Department, submitted a re- | port reeommendiug that an ameudment ibe adopted making the Supreme court cousiat of a Chict Justice aud two Associ: ing a Consiitution to suit the masses, and of passing judgement upon its merits in their capacity aa legislators than the peo~ ple are as voters, em mass. And the question has just narrowed down to this: Is it better, now that we have the neces- sary majority and the opportunity, to set- tle at once and definitely the character of the State Constitution by refusing to sub- wit it for ratification after it has been properly and acceptably remodeled, than to submit it and run the risk of having it voted down by 80.000 negroes and ther white leaders. ‘his is a grave question, and since there is no good reason why the and expense, we think it the imperative duty of the Convention to refuse to sub- mit its work. Who are the best judges of what the people want in the way of a Constitution, such gentlemen as those named above, or the 80,000 negro voters and their whe allies in this State? We say that the Convention and the white Democratic voters who are in a minority as shown by the last election, are the best judges of what the people need. Every one knows that the negroes will vote solid against the Constitution that may be submitted by the Convention, no matter how good it may be or how well auited to their wanta. And they, with the white vote that usually goes with them, will very probably vote it down. If itis yoted down, we will have the spectacle of a people incurring ao enor. mous debt, in calling and in holding a Convention whose work was rejected at an additional expense, and it will prove not only moet disaetrous to the cause of good government, but it will prove the political death knell tothe Democratic party in North Carolina for years tocome. here is (00 much at stake to run sucha risk or to ineur the hazzard of defeat. If our political fues were intelligent and reepon- sible voters, or disposed to be rational: in the discharge of their political daties, we would not fear to measure strenght with them on this great question of civil and cheap government; bat the reverse is the fact. Itis therefore foolish to butt one’s hea dagainst a stone wall until the brains are out just to keep up the appearance of consistency. It the Convention choose it can forever bury Radicalism in North Carolina and give us a Coneticution of which our people will long be proud; or it can bury Demo- cracy and leave disaster, rain, and chaos in its wake. The question of submission all depends upon the legality of the eo- granted that no man of sense will bold that they are binding. Will the Wouven- tion take the ball by the horns?

Although the days of irrational medication are happily passing away, and intelligent phy- efficacy ofa remedy by the violence of its effects, there still linger among the older prac- titioners a few of those predilections in favor of “heroic” reatment, which it would be lucky for their patients if they had abandoned. One of these is a fondness for administering drastic purgatives, such as blue pill, calomel, jalap and caster vil. A contrast of the effects ot these drenching drugs with the mild and bene- ficient operation of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, is the very best argument that can be adduced against the wisdom of such destructive treat- ment. the stomach, and relax the Lowels so abrupdy and copiously as to weaken them. the action of nature. fanetion, and enable tbe stomach to thoroughly occasional sa anent. ‘Every ~ disagreeable evaguasion, harasses ihesystem;. vanishes | tare bas ever ¢ ’ we point to the bloody scenes enacted | in attending the sessionsof the same: | in that down-trudden, misgeverned, humiliated | Geo M Bernhardt and robbed State, as the bitter, bitter fruits of | J G Fleming Let us take the leason | E Mauney to heart.

Town Clock : This ancient and venerable institution has again lifted up its voice, and is once more heard striking the hour for young men to leave at night. The sound of this clock, with the clear ringing tones of the old Mansion House bell, carry ua away back inmemory, and make usthink of the days when we were young. They are almost all that is left of the town of twenty-five years ago. Business Change ! Mr. R.

PvBLic SCALEs : For the benefit of “inqnirin frens” we will atate publicly, that the excaration on Inniss St. alongside of Kluttz’s Drug Store, is for the pur- pose of placing there a pair of Public Scales, that our fat men, big cows, loads of forage &c, &c., may be conveniently and satisfactorily weighed. Is that satisfactory ? Exhibition the for Benefit of the Orphan Asylum at the Presbsterian church Friday night next, Mr. Mills,the Superintendant, will be present with some eight or ten of the little orphans who will go through the exercise o recitations, &c., &c. A collection will be taken up. hoped thatone and all will go prepared to contribute liberally to the orphan cause. Citizens should meet these little ones at the depot, and provide for their comfort while here to save them expense. We learn that the Asylum is now in great need, and the officers are hard pressed to make ends meet. EscaPED PRISONER : On the 10th inst, sheriff Young of Buncombe County, came here with two prisoners whom he was taking to Winston. The prisoners were not tied, confined, nor committed to jail, but walked around town freely with the sheriff and his deputy. At night one of them, Henry Nott, escaped from the sheriff, at an, “unre- spectable” house, whither they had gone in company, and then the other one was locked up in jail for safe keeping. The blame in the mat. ter, certainly don’t rest on the prisoner, for it was mighty natural for him to walk off when he had so good a chance, Suicided : We just knew that that poor dog would die of a broken heart, and now he has gone and ‘Jone it. He proved that he wasn’t a mad-dog, by going quietly back home, and attending to his own business like a good dog oughtto, But he could’nt stand the imputavions on his char- acter, they made him sad and melancholy, and a few mornings since, he was found hanging over the fence, with achair around his neck dead! It is not certainly known whether he was only trying to run off and play mad dog again, or whether he really committed suicide, So like Ralston, his fate must rest in uncer- tainly. He came into the office with anything but a smiling countenance and inquired “if he could not see that paper?” Wetold him he could and found it for hin. After searching for some time ne gave it back saying, “J can’t find it.” He left with a smile asifof great relief. We afterwards learned that he was looking for his marriage notice, baving been informed that it his getting married, he said he was anzieus to know if it was so. Don't be disccuraged, we like to encourage our friends, and premise him that when it does happen, we will publish it, aud we have nodoubt but that he would like it-to happen soon, and we don’t blame bim, for you know “Omnibus hoe vttium est.” Tobacco. Our enterprising townosmen. Messrs. Keen & Kennedy have just effected an arrange ment with R.H. Owens & Co., of South Boston Va.. by which Messrs.

BACK WOODS BOY. ~<a —_—_ The ‘‘Seven Stars.” Early in the days of our childhood we learu one important fact—that tbere is a “mau in the moon ;” and straightway we proceed to ask our mother a number of pointed questions about the matter. She eatiefied our youthful curiosity by telling ug that be was placed there long ago, for stealing a head of cabbage, aud there he has ever since been kept at hard labor “pulling brush,” or collecting branches ot trees, a8 they are trimmed off by the axe- roan, prepa‘a'ory to burning them out of the way. And when we louk at the moon, and sey a dark figure upon its dise, some- what resembling, in outline, the shape of a inan, and near itan additional dark Bpot which might or might not be a pile of boughs, we goa great deal further than our mothers—we believe the story ; and, hav~ ing believed it, we secretly resolve, in our winds, never to commit a theft, leat a similar fate should be oars. And thus the silly fable at once becomes an im- portant engine in foregoing aud forming the character of the man. ’ The ludian mothers have a story some- what like that of the “man in the moun” which they tell their childen as aur moth- erg tell the story tous. with this difference, however, they believe the story them- selves, while mothers do not. Here it is: Very long ago seven little boys took it into their heads to have a feaat after the manner of their fatbers, and they went to their mothers praying for permission. Ubeir mother retus:d them; atter which they decided to rebel, and liave the feaat anyhow. ‘They procured a little white dog to sacrifice ; and, having placed ir upon the fire, they commenced dancing around, as they had seen their fathers do on momentous occasions. While they were thus engaged, they were suddenly caught op by some invisible power, an: carried off through the air. ‘heir motbera heard th ir cries, and came forth from higher, until they took their place among the stars in the sky, to dauce on forever and ever. When the Indian mother tells this story she points out the seven stars of the Pleiades ; and the embryo warrior trem- bles to think what an awful fate might befall the youth who was so thoaghtless as to disobey bis mother. —— Grant went to hear Dr. Deems preach a few Sundays ago, whereupon the Dr. made a fool of himself by addressing some of bis remarks to the President Among other things he told him “that there were hundreds ana thousands -of Confederates in heaven. waiting to wel- come him to glory.”.

It says: “More aud more certain does it grow that, as between the Democratic party and the Republican par- ty, the voters next year will choose the Democratic.

There is now on exhibition in a show wicdow on Church atreet, Philadelphia, the giant gauge constructed for the pur- poee of registering Mr. Keely’s “power.” It stands about four feet and a_ half high, and registers 54,000 pounds to the square inch being the largest gange in existence. It is beautifully ornamented and planted with silver. It cost $1,000, $500 of which was required to be paid betore work was commenced on it. It is stated that the Government has just ordered a similar one to be constructed for its use. ‘Ihe largest Government gauge now is 20,000 pounds to the square inch. Mr. Keely is more elevated in spirits than ever. He goes to his shop almost every night, besides hia work during the day, and there rans and watches his ma- chine, t.¢€., the old apparatus. Some. times be has one or two of the company with him. The machine is kept running until 10 or 1£ o’clock, when it is stopped and all retire. All this time it bas been running with the same water, the vapor being constantly dissipated and repro- duced.

Under it was a trongh; under the trough a wide platform, and leading up to the platform the nicest plank walk. with cleats nailed dross, to keep folks ~ pigs, I mean—fiom slipping down ; the whole arrangement being. nothing more vor less than the dining-room, where Grau’- pa Fay’s two fat, lazy pigs were accus- tomed to take their meals—or meal; I'm not sure which it should be. Jolunie seldom failed to be on hand when the-pigs were fed, that, lying flat on the floor beside an epen scuttle close by, he mighi watch them scrabble clumsi- ly up tothe trough and thrust in their noses, on one side of the perpendicular spout, which being exacfly io the middle, gave to each an equal chance. They would eat quietly for just aboata minute and a half. Then round would go the larger one to wedge in not only his noise, but two fore-feet between number two and the spont; aud away that poor fellow muat go to che other end, where he was no soouer comfortably setiled, with three fect inside the trough, than back woald come number one and insist on bis right to put in tour feet, After that you coulda’t be quite sure whether there was two nores and eight feet on one side, or oue wose and four feet on two sides, for it wasn’t ciiher very long at atime Num ber two had one black ear, and Johnunie’s sywpathics being witb him, he usually managid to keep one eye ou that at the risk of Josing tis balance and adding another pait of lege to skirmish below. ‘A pre:ty stmait tellow you have there,’ said Dr Tetlem to gran’pa, one day, as they stood beside the scuttle watching the pir of ungatuly creatures delow. Johouie looked up to see who was meant. Ladie# often eaid that iu the par- lor, weaning Johunis himself; bat the wise doctor was looking straight at the pigs. So was gran’pa, ouly—bless hie old, loving heart be couldu’t help laving one hand on the litle blue cap, as he made auswer., ‘Promising, we think. Real go-ahead Pat things mgbt through. Ouce get bin started, and there wou’t bea stone uaturn ‘dy ‘S'’pose that’s pig’s. [ douw’t !") eaid Jobnouie te bimeclt, as the two geutlemen walked away. “Turn over thiuge fast enough, pigs do; tise’i tones though, aud grau’pa thinks the beapest of me guse | know,’ The next Monday morning, as Johnnie was dauntering aloug toward the barn, he met Sammy Carnes, who, like bimeeill, wasin serch of eutertalnwent. ‘Whas’s this? asked Sammy, hfing the wooden cover to the spout. Thad, thump, scrambling, squealing, up rushed tbe pigs, as iti bad beeu weeke losteta so tours since breakfast. ‘O, he? roared Jobunie. ‘Never thought I could fool ‘em. That’s fun, vow. Let’em get still, and bambovze Temagalo.’ ‘That was one of Jim’s words. So the boys slid quietly out of eignt till the pigs had gone grauting away, to stretch themselves in tue warm sunshine. ‘We'll drop down a handful of stones thés time,’ said Sammy, who liked to do something new. Down went the stones, and up came the gigs, together with a whole flock ot heve, whose duty it was to keep the pig’s Gining-room free from crumbe. Johunie vigorously applauded ‘Wonder how many stoues *t would take to fiil up that thing,’ said Sam- wy. ‘Much as a bushel,’ returned Johuuie, screwing bis mouth round, s8 the meu did when “guessing the probable ‘bett’ of ran’pa’s beauties. ‘Pho! that wouldn’t half!’ lev’s get your wheel-barrow and try.’ And at it they went, and whea they were tired of dropping the etones down oue by one, they managed to lean a board against the apout, and trundling the wheel barrow up, tip itover, man-fashioy, the difficulty and uncertainty of which pro- ceeding kept their interest alive uatil din~ ner-time, Gran'pa was away in town. Jim = had gone to the waods, and forgotteu to tell Bridget to feed the pigs. ‘I hope those boys are not in miachief,’ said grandma. “Q, uo; only wheeling stones; they can’t pessikly do any barm,’ eaid mamma, sigh- ing over a long reut in the boy’s sccoud- best jacket. ‘Lev’e quit,’ said Sammy, about 3 o clock. ‘N6, sir ! that thing’s going to be filled up, smack, sink’n swim, live’n die, s’vive’n perish! said Jobunie, quoting from Judge Croly, who had one day talked polities out in the barn. So the work went on slowly bat sure- ly, till just before sunset Johnnie shat down the cover with a sigh of satisfaction, and, having eaten bis early supper, was beiug tucked into bed, when Jim made his appearance, somewhat sour about the mouth, and dawp as hia clothes. Of course, atver feeding the pigs in the dark, more or less, for five years, he bad naturally expected the contents of his pail to go in one direction, whereas it went ip a-dozen. ‘Some of Johnnie’s mischief! What's the boy been doing to.day 1’ asked grau’s pa, from his armchair, ‘Didu’t leave a stone, gran’pa,’ called out Johnnie, rather sleepily ; ‘put ’em right through. You see, Sammy started the thing, and-I just went ahead. Course ; what was you telling the doctor 7’ . ‘Humpbh !’ said gran’pa. ‘What ears little folks have! We ought to be more careful what gets iuto them.’ Which is half the moral of my story. The other balf gran’pa proceeded to be- stow upon Johntie. ‘Sowetbing on purpose for you to re- member. .Are you listening, Jobn-. nie ?’ ‘Some,’ said Johnnie, faintly.

The discussion took a broad range, going back into the days of earpet-baggism’ and bringing up recollections of the “late unpleasantness.” ‘Vhe acknowledgement of Mr. Barringer that carpet-baggers and negrocs proved an esseutial element in the Convention of 1868 in the advaneement of ideas that would not otherwise have been obtained, drew a shot from the Democratic side of the House. Mr. Tour- gee, whose privilege it was to sit asa “carpet-bagger”’ in that Convention, was drawn to the floor iu defense of ‘hia chos- eo people,” and vigorously went to work to show that America itself was peopled by carpet baggers, that for the carpet-bag propensity of Christopher Columbus this country would now be peopled by the savages. But Mr. T. was not content with this parallel: he held (shame upon such sacrilegiousness !) that Chriat him- self was a carpet bugyer,’’ because he was branded by the Jews as a Galilean, and hance held up to obloquy. The further consideration of the ques- tion was pustponed until this morniug at 114 o’clock. ELEVENTH DAY. RALEIGH, Sept. 17th 1875. The Conventiun met at 10 o’clock, President Ransom in the chair.

A motion to suspend the rules and take up the report cf the committee on the question of the per diem of the members ot the Convention was lost by a vote of 49 to 50 many of the members having paired off not voting. THE SUPREME COURT. The ordinance reported by the Comuit- tee on the Judicial Department, reducing the Supreme Court to a Chief Justice and two Associates, was taken up as the special order. After discussion the ordinance was adopted by a vote of 65 to 35. ‘The report of the Committee on the Legislative Department, recommending that the bill to abolish the Senate branch of the Legislature co not pass, was con~ sidered, and the bill laid apon the table. ‘The resolation to amend the Constita» tiun ia relation to the filling of vacancies in the General Assembly, was on motion, tabled. Tbe osdinance to amend sec. 3, art. 9, relating fo public schools, was considered. of Supreme Court Judges to three instead of five taken up on’ its third reading, and passed by a vote of 55 to 26. The substitute for the ordinance in Judges, providing for nine jadicial dias tricts, to be diminished or increased by the legislature. The yeas and nays were demanded on the call fur the previous question, which being ascertained, resulted in the call, and the several amendments were either with- drawn or voted down. ‘The original bill then passed its second reading by a vote of 57 to 17.

She died in a land of etrangers, but she left pebind ber the oame of a devoted wife.— It was love in death. He saw her siuk- ing fast, he knew it, she knew it—it was consumption. He narsed ber like a little child, the great strong mun, and there they were in the room together the night she died. She wanted to see out, to gaze once-more at the world outside, but he entreated her against it, and told her that to take her up would make her worse, but she told him she was dying anyway, and he lifted ber tenderly in his arms and walked with her about the room, holding her to his breast and showing her this object and that, pointing out every pleaa- ant thing, aod she kiseing him with every breath till the last breath had gone, and the kiss‘died cold on hie cheek.

The :civemmstances of the case are as follows: = On the 20:h of May, Alder‘attd Walker, after dinirg at mess at Herbertadr » & place near Milford Haven, remaine until between 1 and 2 o’clock the’ follow-’ ing morning, Both mén were: ted. Atthe last mention tess corporal, 4 man n Di said that Walker had stabbed himself, Green foand the latter lying on the floor bleeding from a wound in the region otf the heart, and immediately summoned Capt. Bracken and Lieuts. Randolph and Moller to bis assistance, Iu the presence of these officers A'der threw himself on his knees before the wounded man, say-~ ing, “dear Phill, speak to me,” and then added, “He did it himself; he fell upon a knife.” Walker thrust him away with apparent horror, crying, ‘You did it; go away from me. Randolph, I call you to witness that thia devil stabbed me.’’ Wal- ker again asserted his innocence, aud the wounded man again denounced him ae his murderer. Walker roon fell into a series of faint- ing fits, and Alder, who, it must be re- membered, is asergeon, mere than ouce declared that be was dead, and covered his face witha rug. On one occasion Walker himself removed the covering from hia face, and, feeling Alder’s band upon his breast said, “Take it away for God’s sake.” Later on Captain Bracken took Alder to one side and told him that a serious charge had been preferred against him, whereupon the dying man raised his head and said, ‘What are they saying? “What are they talking about! I did it myself.’ He then sank back exhausted, but beckoned to Randolph and whispered, save him, save him—promive me. Hide that knife, but do not think it was suicide. He did it, he stabbed me— the coward. Randolph asked, “Who? Alder?” and Walker replied, “Yes, it was acruel thing; it was cold-blooded murder. Hide that knife. They will hang him if they find that knife.” The weapon alluded to was a large white- hans dled knife, which lay upon the table, shut and perfectly clean. The next day Walker rallicd and made a stitement, which was aftewards reduced to writing by a Mojor Fitzgerald. This statement was read to Walker in the pres- ence of wituesses, and was signed by him juet before his death, which occurred on the 28th of May. He was in the full possession of his senacs when this ante- mortem disposition was made. In it he said that on the evening of the 20th of May heand Alder were talking about money matters, and he referred to a debt which the sergeou owed him. Alder therenpon slapped hia face, and a struggle followed, in which he (Walker) proved the better mau, Alder then took the knife from a ehest of drawers and stabbed iim. For the defense it was urged that Wal- ser wag druuk when he was woundea, and that, therefore, his testimdny, was not trastworthy when a wans life was at stake. It was also proved Ly medical testimony that the dead man had _ himself caused secondary hemorhage by injudi- diviously putting on a jacket, anda nam- ber of officers testified to the goneral good claracter and kindly disposition of the prisoner. The jury, atter they had been charged by the Lord Chief Justice of England, who presided, retired for delib- eration and in one hour and twenty min- utes retarned a verdict ‘Not Guilty.” Dr. Alder was then discharged. This verdict would have been !ega_ re- markable if Lieutenant Walker had died before he had recovered from the effects of the liquor he had swallowed, or if be had made a number of contradictory state- ments. He did, indeed, once say that he bad inflicted the wound himself, but as he inetantly denied the trath of this asser- tion in a whisper to Lieutenant Randolph, and repeated his former accusation against Alder, adding that the latter would be hanged if the knife was found, it is certain that Dr. Alder bas had a yery uarrow escape, and that he ought to con~ geatalate himself on the lenieut view of ihe case taken by the jury. Tho result of this trial contrasts strong- ly with that of a trial which occurred in nugland atew months ago. In this case two private soldiers were in a barrack to- gether. One of the men snddenly rushs ed out calling for aid, and said that bis companion had cut his throat with a razor. ‘The latter was so desperately wounded that he could not speak, bat before he died he summoned strenght enough ty write the name of the first man upon a piece of paper, and signified by a gesture that he had done the deed. ‘The accused was tried for murder and convicted, sev- eral medical men declaring that the dead man could not himself have inflicted the wound of which he died. In due time prisoner was hanged, protestiag his inno-~ cence to the last. There is no doubt that substantial jastice was done in this case; but what would have been Dr. Alder'’s told him to win it, and be worthy of it.» {fate if he-bad been tried before the jury which convicted the private soldier? The Empress of Austria. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Telegram writes from Europe: We are not after all to be permitted to catch a glimpee of the fair Empress of Austria, though ehe did pass threngh Pa. ris a few days ago. About a thousand eu went to the railway station to see er come in, but the lovely Elizabeth, at the last moment, changed her destination and, came into Paris by another direction, thus disappointing the eager crowd of sight-seers. She is well worth icoking at fs this fairest of royal ladies, thongh elie jis thirty-eight years of age, and a possible grandmother besides. I eaw her at Vien-, item. years ago; she then lecked about Foot ger gta ge ah ‘hair that it fell, coil upon coil, from under her eoquetish little hat, only retained by the meshes of a fine silk hair net. Her style and elegance were ansurpasea- ble, far exceeding, to my mind, the more artificial graces of the Empress Eugenie. She dresaea very simple now, it is said, usually in black, gray, or lilac, never hav- ing worn colors since the death of her first daughter several years ago. Her manners are marvellously sweet aad win- niog, and she is as popular as she is beau: tiful. ‘T'ruth compels me to state that it is currently reported she henpecks her imperial spouse unmercifully, and that he, like a wise man, submits to her domin- ion, When she first arrived at the imperial court, she gave an immevee offense to her haugh:y mother-in-law, the Archduchess Sophia, of eyil memory, by insisting on going out walking, (think of profaning the sacred feet of the Empress of Austria by contact with the vulgar earth 7) and by carrying an umbrella, which last, is, we believe’ a fatal sin against royal etiquette. She inherits the simplicity of ber manners from her father, the Archduke, Maximilian Luitpold, of Bavaria. ‘This gentleman al- ways travels very quietly, and with no more state o1 form than an ordinary pri- vate gentleman. Ie was recently on hie way from Munich to Vienna to visit his daughter.

[London Autheneum.j Those interested in ancient historical relica will be sorry to learn that the Par~ thenoa at Athens is being shockingly wrecked and ruined. ‘Touriste every sea- son visit it, knock off limbs of statues, pull down portions of the - frieze which Lord Elgin left, and, clambering up with hamuucr or stone, break off bits of the Dorie capital. ‘These capitals, it will be remembered, are pointed with rows of leaves, which are supposed to be bent double ander the weighs of architech, and relic hauters seem to be esspecially fond of chipping this portion of masonry. Not a fortuight ago a tourist knocked off the finger of ove of the finest statues, as he wiehed to add to his private collection of curiogitiea at New York. Vhe Greeks have determined to protect the building as much as possible and to store up in a safe place the most interesting and valua- ble of the fragmenta of sculpture which lie all over the place, exposed to rude winds, “and men more savage still thao they.” They have almost completed a museum at the back of the Acropolis, but the work has come to a standstill for lack ofmoney. ‘This fact has only to become known among artist and art lovers in this country and doubtless immediate steps will be taken to preserve that noblest remnant of Greece in her glory—the Par- thenoa. * ee Tue ANCIENT JEWISH TRADITION OF Lititga.—Lilith was Adam’s first wife, like a bird, witb the fair evil face of a woman. Immediately on her creaii a and introduction to our first parent the two began to tight. She said, “I will not give way.’ Adam said likewise. Lilith said, “We are equal, being formed of the same clay.” Au argament by the way, for the superiority of Eve, who was not ao tormed, in short, neither would obey the other. Then Lilith attered th> holy name and fled away throagh the air. Ou Adam’s supplication three angels were sent to bring her back. These three were Sepoi Sensenoi and Sam mangelopb. They found ber amidet the mighty waters of the Red Sea, in which long after Busi» ria and bis Memphian calvary left their floating carcasses and broken ebariot wheels, aud said, “If you will return, well; if not, a bundred of your children shall die daily.” Lilith with more than balf a woman’s tenderness, and with all a woman’s obstinacy, naturally preferred tbe latter alternative. The celestial mes-~ senger in divine indignation sought to drown her, but she cried, “Saffer me to depart, for I am created but for destrac-~ tion of ehildr&o.” She hed power over them for eight days If male, but if female for twenty. Then the angels made her awear by the name of the living God that as often aa she should see them or their nawes or pictures inacribed on amulets, a babe should be spared.-—Cornhill' «Maga: ! sine. wit! a foe ‘eee at. [Special to the Atlsnts Herald. Smothered by Foul Gases—A Brother Ailtemps to Rescue a Brother and Both are Killed—A Fearful Tragedy. AYRESVILLE, Sept 9, 1875.—Up the Air Line Railroad, in the neighborhood of Ayresville, occurred yesterday one of the most terrible accidents it has been our duty to chronicle in many aday. ‘T'wo brothers, Dennis and Robert Sparks, were cleaning out an old wellin which had accumulated noxious gases: It is well known that these gases are frequently found in low places—bottoms. of wells, caves, minea, &c., and have proved fatal nefangés. For this fatal’ agent, ‘ ceri ig. wih, he weroc ea back. et before one of the brothers, Bob, de- scended, which was extinguished immedi- ately upon its reaching the stratum of impure air. This should have been suf- ficient warning, bat they supposed it hap- pened accidentally in some way, and Bob Sparks said he would go down. Very soon he caHed to the parties above to pull him up quick, and at the same time gave a eanelantys clutch upon the rope. He was immediately obeyed, when, to the consternation of those pull- ing him up, he relaxed bis bold and fell back dead, as the event afterward proved. The excitemen now wasintense, bat in the confusion of the moment these at the top of the well did the very thing that they ought to have done, threw water io the well. This dissipates the foul air and admits the pure air from above. After thia was done, but not in euffi- cient quantities, Dennis, Bob's brother, said he would go down. ‘T'rembling in every limb, he gut into the bucket and was lowercd to the bottom of the well.— He had accomplished his object, and, probably, became frightened at being so far nader ground with his dead brother.— When he hurriedly began to ascend a ladder that extended a short way from the bottom of the well and ignored the rope. In his haste, his foot slipped and he fell to the bottom, and the fall and the fixed aic that still remained proved fatal to him. ‘I'he brothere lay dead to- gether at the bottom. They were subse- quently drawn up amidst the greatest ex- citement and sorrow of the asscmbled crowd. ‘I‘he greatest sympathy exists for the sufferers, and a feeling of solemni- ty and gloom prevails over the entire community. ; —_———_~-_ The Federal Office Holders. Yesterday, Mr. Price, the patriotie del- egate from Davie, introduced a resolution to enquire into the eligibility of Mesers. Badger of Wake, Young of Granville, Mannix and Lehman of Craven, and Bry- an of Wilkes. That move is eminently proper. It ie well known that the five delegates named are Federal officeholders. It is equally well kuown that an act of Congress for- bids a I"ederal officer from holding au office under a State Government. Noth. irg cao be clearer then that they are not entitled tu seats upon the floor of the Con- veution. It is eminently proper, too, that Mr. Price, representing the Democratic wing of the Convention has paid hia respects first to United States officers. Because, in the estimation of themeelves, if not with othera, they outrank State officers. Courtesy and deference to their official characters would seem to demand this at» tention. Loyalty aleo requires that their cases be dieposcd of. For it is an act of Con- greas which renders these delegates inel- ligible. ‘he Convention must be trae to the Federal law, obeying it faithfully, and promptly. Bevides this, the oaths which delegates have laken demand this action. That will obey the Constitution and laws ot the United States. Ifthe Convention does oot turn out Messrs. Badger, Young and those who are in the same boat with them, the delegates violate their oaths These astute delegates with others sought to thwart the will of the Conser- vative party of North Oarolina by taking advantage of a stroke of Providence apon us, and keeping vacant for ten days after the assembling of the Convention the seat of the other delegate to come from Orange. ‘They are, or at least two or more of them are fond of poetiring, and we should not fail to give them the op- portunity of saying, as they vacate thcir seats and depart the Convention Halli for- ever— “This even-handed jastice commends the ingredients of our poisoued chalice to our own lips.” —Sentinel —_———>o—___—__——__ Oats 4s A Mancurge.—A Kentucky farmer writes ac follows to the New York News on the sabject of oats aa a manure: I bave seen frequent inquiries about low to reclaim old aud wern out lands.

The Judiciary Committee reported as its ananimous opinion that the Conveution had no right, under the oath taken by its members, to consider the resolution to make the homestead a fee simple, and on motion, the said resolution was laid on the table. The resolution to defray the funeral expenses of the late Gov. Wm. A. Graham, delegate elect to this Convention from the county of Orange, was considered. Mr. Badger stated that the expenses attendant upon the burial of Governor Graham, frum the time bis remains left Saratoga until they arrived in Raleigh, had been paid by the Virginia Commis- sion, of which he was a member at the time of his death. : The resolution, under a suspension of the rules, pagsed its several readings. SPECIAL ORDER. Being an ordinance to amend see. 9, art. 4, of the Constitution, doing away, with the reqnirement that the Supreme Court shall be held twice a year in the. city of Raleigh, and leaving the Legislas ture, was considered. The Committee reported adversely thereon. Mr, Avery favored the pasaage of the ordinance a8 a matter of justice to the whole people of the State. 1 Mr. Bennett, trom the Judicial Com. mittee, stated the reasons which actuated the Committee in reporting adversely upon this measure that they did not want to eee this court made perapatetie in its character. Mr. Darham asked it as a measure of justice to the Weat, that a term of the Supreme Court be established either in Morganton or Asheville, or to leave this | power in the bands of the Legislature. Mr. Albertson, opposed the measure. The rotation of the Supreme Court would work hardship to persuus of almost every section, , After some further discussion, the vote upon the passage of the ordinance upon its second reading was iaken, and resulted in 47 ayes, 37 nays. MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. Bowman, from the Committee on Privileges and elections, stated that eom- mittee was now engaged in preparing a report on the Robeson county contested seats, which report would soou be deliv- ered. ‘Ihe ordinance reqniring that the mem bers of the Senate be elected for 4 years, one half to go out every two years, was tabled. ‘The ordinance to reduce the number of the Senators to 25 was made the special order for Friday at 12 0’clok ‘The ordinance for abolishing private legislation was laid upon the table. ‘The ordinance giving to the county of Pamlico an additional Representative was tabled, on motion of Mr. Shepherd, who agreed with the Committee that this body bad no power to legislate upon this mat- ter, The ordinance concerning civil righta and social equality in North Carolina wae laid upon the table. The ordinance concerning the per diem and mileage of the members and officers of this Convention, was considered, Mr. Robbing moved that the matter be postponed uytil next Tuesday at 12 o'clock, ‘This mution caused a discussion, par- ticipated in by Messra. Robbins, Albert- son, Boyd, Badger, Chamberlain, EB Cost of Fencing. Tn the ‘Farmer and Planter’ Mr. J. C. Kemper. gives some interesting statistics iv regard to the cost of fencing. He shows that according to the census of 1870 there were iv Virgioia 73,849 farins of all siaes, and that of improved lands there were 4,165,- 040 acres requiring fencing. This gives 110 acres as the average Size of the farms of im- proved lands. aud adding ten acres of woods, it will give 120 acres of the average size of farms requiriug fencing. To fence this farm in six rectangular fields, which is the eheap- ost way it could be fenced, would require 5,334 yard of fencing. Now, allowing forty rails for every one hundred yards of ordinary fencing. aud put- ting the rails at 81 10 per hundred, it will require $235 worth of rails to fence a farm of 120 acres. But by adding in the cost’ of haalivg and putting up the fence the expense is uoereceee to net _ eee ev if we multi e 75,2 i the State by 8400, he cast Suan ° ae we have an aggregate of §20.539,600 as the total cost of fencing in Virginia.

And the charter members of said Com- pany, are only waiting the passing events that are transpiring around them, yet looking: with con- siderable anxiety to the movements. that are being made in regard to the ‘Yadkin Rail Road,” and the “North Carolina and Virginia Rail Road.” I regret exceedingly the failure of the subscription to the Yadkin Rail Ruad at the last election. See Acts of the last Legisla- ture fur the charter of the “Yadkin Navigation Company. — ~ oS co But as the people of Rowan County, on the 5th day of August last, decided not to subscribe to the Capital stock of the “Yadkin Rail Road,” ject, there is. a project or entérprize in whicli she can lend a helping hand and thereby increase her wealth at least twenty-five per cent. TI al- Road,” chartered by the General Assembly during the Session of 1856-"57. Looking up the Watehman of the 27th, May 1875 you will find the charter of said Rail Road. It isthe opin- ion of two very able Lawyears that the charter of said Rail Road is in full force and efféct, if Rail Road ?-The citizens of Salisbury are deeply interested in the building of this Road. “Ex necesitate rei.” Your city is being depleted daily by Statesville on the West, and Winston, and the North, and without this Rail Road to your door, you must be like the captive Jews, hang your “harps onthe willows,” and. sing songs, not however, like them in astrange land, but tothe whirling commerce on different Roads which you have lest by want of a little effort aad energy on your part. Witl you not be aroused and come forward like-men and ut your shoulder to the wheel and aid in pushing this enterprize to completion, which is your only salvation. Now is the time to consider what you will do, delay not! delay not! This Road has already secured to its Capital stock One Hundred and twenty five Thousand Dollars on the part of Davie County and the city of Salisbury. Ithas been estimated that to build said Rail Boad from Salisbury to Mocksville will cost the snm of Two Hundred and twenty five Thousand Dollars. Now the people of Davie County will make this propo- sition to the citizens of Salisbury and Rowan County if they will build the Road from Salisbury to the South Yadkin River, the peo- ple of Davie will build it from the River to Mocksville. Will you do it? I must confeas from my stand-point view of the subject, that this Rail Road will be more advantageous to the city of Salisbury than the ons fora thinking, 1 may, howeyer, be mistak- en, yet they are my deliberate conclusions. the “Yadkin Rail Road,” was completed froin Cheraw, S. C. by Wadesboro,’ N. C. to the city of Salisbury, the only possible advantange iv be derived therefurm, as I can conceive, is : est advantage. And furthermore the Yadkin Rail Road would be a depleter of your city in- stead of feeder. of Rail Road has a Sonthern inclination for copsumption.. Now the “N.C. & Virginia Rai! Road” when would bring to your city an untold amount of commerce from the counties of Ashe, Wilkes, Surry, Yadkin, and Davie, because these coun- ties abound with the commodities that go to support Rail Roads; enrich the merchants; give employment to the husbandman; work for the artizan: labor for the mechanic and a ne- cessity for the capitalist. And if your monied men did not reap some benefit from all this, they could only complain of themselves and not others. Then“your real estate would be enhanced from 25 to 50 per cent more than it is. A communication signed “Surry” publish- ed in the “Watchman” sometime in May or June last, gave an Idea what kind of a country the “N. C. & Virginia Rail Road,” would run through if completed from Salisbury, to the Virginia or Tennessee line, and it would not be very difficult to get the amendment he suggested to the original charter. The qnestion now. is will Salisbury vote to change her subscription of $50.000 to the Capital stock of the “North Carolina and Virginia Rail Road.” : Could the brave and lamented Chaa F. Fisher speak he would ray, “so mote it be ;” and the departed John I Shaver, would say roll on the car I will help push it forward.

As an instance in point, a few days ago a man borrowed av ox to perform certain labor, but the ox became unmanageable and gored the poor fellow to death. The friends of the un- fortumate man became very mach exas. poraice and; under the direetion of the eader, demanded of the owner hia ox that they might stone him to death, in accordance with a law of Moses, written in the ter of Exodus, 28th verse.

The following which is known as ‘Mother Stephton’s Prophecy” was first pablished in 1488 and re-published in 1611. It will be seen that all the pres dicted event, except the last, which is etill in the future, have already come to “Carriage, without horses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woe; Around the world thoughts shall fis, In the twinkle of an eye; Waters shall, yet more wonders do, Now strange yet shall be true.

If this report be true, the Khedive has secured the services of a most aceomplished and capable sol- dier, and if victory should not favor his colors in the wars he has to apprehend, it wil! not be for the want of military telent in his commander.

The American has more intellect than her French sister, but the latter has softness where sho has pertness. There is nervous excitability and clever ness in one, mellowness and equality of character in the other. The forced, bril- liant vitallity of women in America is subject to fits of reaction, for natare has its limits. In the French woman the mivd is more even and cheerful, and in the absence of exhaustive sud irregalar demands mide upon it the uniform is better. There really appears to have been some ground for the recent excitement in Geor- gia. The trouble, as fares we can learn, originated with a few turbulent fellows, an- xious to gain notoriety or perhaps to enrich thensclves in some way, who got up the plot, or the pretens@ofa plot, and drew a, uumber of iguorant negroes into it. -The, “orders” that were found and the poripises, of assistance from the miltiaof uéighboring: States may have been genuine. hut ‘were quite as probably forged, in order to help the thing along, bat there was enough io the plot to terrify the scattered whites when such a state of affairs, that they kept their] heads as well as they did. chief credit seems to be due to the temperate ~~ me -- ~ gocd sense of the leading pus of bot ASTORYW OF ICE. races.

He would no! go over his argument as to the powor of this body to pass the ordinance. He thought he had clealy cetablished this. He would now leave the matter in the hands of the Convention.

The ordinance to amend sec 6, art 7, was taken up. Townships trustees not to assess their own property. On motion of Mr. Manning, of Chatham, the ordinance was laid on the table. The ordinance to amend sec 224, art 1, by adding a proviso that nothing shall justify the practice of carrying concealed arms, was taken up After some debate the ordinance'was, on mo- tion of Mr Barringer, recommitted to the Com- mittee on the Bill of Rights. SPECIAL ORDER. Mr Jarvis offered a resolution that the whole matter be recommitted to the Committee on Privileges and Elections, with instructions that the committee adopt rules and regulations for its government in deciding all cases of contested elections that may be referred to it, and that said committee is hereby empowered, in the investigation, of any such contest, to send for persons and papers, and to appoint one or more commissioners to take testimony, who shall have the power to administer oath. And that the acting chairman of said committee, in any such investigation, shall have power to admin- ister oath. Thattne refusal of any preson, appearing as a witness before said committee, or before any commissioner appointed by said committee, to answer any question propounded in the course of any investigation had by virtue hereof, shall be guilty ofa contempt of this con- vention. Mr. Buxton was opposed to the rero- lution. Mr Jarvis urged the passage of the resolution as a matter of justice to the sitting members, as they could show to the satisfaction of the convention, if an opportunity was allowed them, that Messrs Norment and McNeill re- ceived a large number of illegal votes. He ar- gued that todeny to Messrs McEachin and Sinclair the opportunity to expose these frauds upon theballot box would be a gross injustice,&c. Mr Chamberlain opposed the resolution, Mr Barringer opposed the resolution. Mr Albertson concurred in the report of the minority of the committee on privileges and elections. Mr Withers irgued in support of the resolu- tion, The contestants claimed the seats, not upon the ground that the commissioners of Robeson county did wrong in giving the certi- the ground that they received a majority ofthe legal votes cast, yet the friends of the contest- ants are opposing a resolution which proposes Mr. Tourgee opposed the resolution. Mr Clingman eupported the resolution. He After a long and fillibustering debate Mr. and nays were called and the previous question was ordered by a vote of yeas 56, nays 43. (Here the largest portion of the Republicans left the hall in order to break a quorum, though a number of them came back and voted, when it appeared that theit absence did not affect a quorum. ] Mr Tourgee appealed from the decision of the chair. The yeas and nays were called and the appeal was rejected by a vote of yeas 54, nays 40 Mr. Bowman moved to adjourn and call for the yeas and nays on the motion. The call was sustained and the vote resulted yeas 2, nays 51. [Here the republicans ieft the hall ‘in a body. ] The question wae then put on Mr. Jarvis’ resolution and it was adopted. On motion the convention adjourned until to-morrow at 10 a. m. The late Andrew Johnson was wont to dwell with much pride upon the fact that he rose from a City Alderman to be President of the United States.

In the course of bia lecture on “The Problem of Life,” at Past Jervis, ‘“Wed- nesday evening of Iaat week, Theodore Tilton uttered these sounds and truthful words : There was a day when woman was considered to have no soul, when she was regarded as the incarnation of sin. ‘To- day it ia better, it is trae, bat let a woman become tainjed by improper iutimacy with this or that man, and she is undoabt- edly ostracised and despised, while her destroyer goes free and iv honored. ‘The Pica lifé requires a different state of affairs, and in this step woman must csi ea to be as victuous,as delicate, as’ men women to be.

The old fashioned cathartics convulse- the stomach, and relax the bowels so abruptly and copiously as to weaken them. Hostetter,s Bitters, on the contrary, never gripe the intes- tines, but produce a laxative effect resembling the action of nature. Atthe same time they remove the cause of constipation, by arousing the dormant liyer to secrete the bile necessary to the regular performance of the excretive function, and enable the stomach to thoroughly digest the food. Indigestion and_ biliousness having been thus overcome, aregular habit of body is the necessary consequence, which the occasional subsequent use of the Bitters renders permanent. Every disdgreeable symptom which, in-the absence of perfect digestion and evactialion, harasses the system, vanishes un- der the influence of the great national stome< achic and alterative. Health and vigor are wir blessings that follow its use. HOW TO CURE FEVER AND AGUE. Tf any person suffering with FEVER AND AGUE, Intermittent or Billious Fever will call at the Drug Stereof Theo. F.

SPECIAL ORDER. the ordinance to reduce the number of state senators to 25, was announced. Mr. Barringer offered an ordinance as a sub- stitute for the pending proposition, that the sen- ateshall consist of 24 members Stected f years and divided into three classes, one-third to go out of office every two years. Mr. Clingman was opposed to the proposi- tion, Mr. Badger favored the proposition. He was really in favor of lopping off the senate altogether. Jie was in favor ot re- taining the house of representatives as the popu- lar branch, and giving the governor a qualified veto power. IIe moved to recommit to the Committee on the Legislative Department with instruction to report an ordinance to abolish the senate and giving the governor the veto power, but-a majority vote to override the veto. After some debate Mr. Vanghan took the floor. He had introduced the original ordi- nance to abalish the senate. He utterly failed to see what check the senate was on hasty leg- ivlation. Hfe thoughtit onght to be abolished as amatter of economy. If the ordinance to abol- ish the senate utterly failed to pass, he was in favor of the one to reduce the number of sena- tors, Mr. Turner was opposed to the whole matter. Mr. Albertson thought that the use for the senate had long since passed and ke was in favor of abolishing it. Mr. Manning of Chatham, moved to lay the whole matter on the table. The yeas and nays were called and the motion was rejected, yeas 52, nays 61. Mr. Badger withdrew his motion to recom- mit. On motion of Mr. Price the convention ad- journed until to-morrow at 10 a.m. for 2 greater " Mattie'’s Wants and Wishes.

(This ordinance makes age for senators 21 instead of 25.) UNFINISHED BUSINESS, the bill to reduce the number of state senators to 20. The question recurred upon Mr, Barringer’s substitute pubiished yesterday. Mr. Avery moved to recommit the whole matter Lo the Committee on the Legislative Department, and on the motion called the pre- vious question, ‘The yeas and nays were called and the call for the previous question was sustained by a vote of yeas 57, nay 99. The question then recurred on the motion to recommiit and it prevailed by a vote of yeas 53, nays ob. The announcement of the vote taken yester- day onthe motion to lay on the table Mr. Chamberlain's motion to reconsider Mr, Jarvis’ resulution recommitting the Robeson counly case to the Cominittee on Privileges and Elec- tions, was announced as the next thing in order. Mr. Tourgee said that he raised the same objection which he did’ on yesterday, to-wit: that Messrs. MeKachin and Sinclair had no right to vole and asked a deeision of the chair. The chairsaid that he had already decided some four or five times and would reiterate the decision. The chair ruled that it was not the proper time for an appeal and that the vote must be announced, and was abont to so announce it wher astorm of ealls of “object 2? “object” “object 1? and yells and hoots burst from the Republican side, which put the convention ina state of confussion from which it did not recov- er for nearly (wo hours, Various gentlemen denounced the scene as being pre-eminently disgraceful, Atter a disorderly and loud debate Mi.

Mr. Tourgce moved that the ballot be veri- fied by expounding the names of Messrs. MeEachin and Sinclair. Mr. Dunn next took the floor. ITe said that the resolution of Mr. Jarvis was simply recom- mitting the question to the Committee on Privileges and Elections as ascertain what was the trne will of the people of Robeson. He proceeded to prove that all the requirements of Justice went to show that the matter should be recomtnitted, Here another long debate arose, and at sev- eral times a number of delegates were speak- ing at once, noe refusing to obey the decis- ions of the chair. Mr. Manning, of Chatham, demanded the revious questions. iE The ves and nays were called and the call was sustained by a vote of yeas 56, nays 52. the question recurred upon the motion of Mr. Tourgee to disallow the votes of Messrs, MeKachin and Sinclair and on the demand of Mr. Justice the yeas and naya were called.

Mr. Chamberlain for the minority of the Committee on Priyileges and Elections, pre- sented a protest against the action of the con- vention in recommitting the Robeson county contest matter.

Resolution to amend art. 3, sec. 10; provides that the Governor shall, by and with the con- sent of a majoirty of the Senate, appoint all ofticers are authorized by this Constitution and when appointments are not otherwise provided. eMessrs. Barringer and ‘Tourgee agreed that this bill would be a dangerous one to the liber- ties of the people, as it would place too much power in the hands of the Exeentive and the the Senate. Mr. Manning, of Chatham, said the gentle- man upon the other side had seen ghosts when there was no graveyard near, There was noth- ing behind this proposition, and there was no advantages sought to be taken by it. Mr. French moved an amendment that the sanction of a majority of the General Assem- bly be revuired instead of that of the Seuate only. Mr. Faireloth moved that the amendment inelude “such officers as may be created by law,” and that it include such officers as inay be clected, whicy would have the efleet of pre- venting the Legielature from electing Hxecu- tive or Judicial oflicers. Mr. Manning, of Chatham, moved the pre- previous question, which call was sustained. Mr. French’s amendment: was defeated by a vote of 37 to 6. Mr. I*aircloth’s amendment was then lost by a vote of 51 to 54, Mr. Munden moved an amendment that no such officer shall be appointed by the General Assembly. Lost by a vote of 50 to 51. The main question then passed its third and final reading by a vote of 55 to 57. Mr. ‘Tourgee moyed to reconsider the vote, and that motion be made the special order for Tuesday next at 12 0’clock. The motion was so postponed. SPECIAL ORDER. Being the motion of Mr. Avery to reconsider the vote by which the ordinance concerning the appropriation of the school fund was adopted.

A considerable time was lost in the consider- ation of motions to adjourn, these motions be- ing withdrawn as often as make, points of order being made by a dozen or more delegatcs Finally a motion of Mr. Manning, of Chath- am, to adjourn was voted down, and Mr. Man- ning calling the previous qnestion, ‘The ordi- nance passed, at 3:20 o'clock, its third and final reading, with only Messrs.

There ia a very pretty story told in connection with the introduction of the manufacture of fine lacce in Brussels. A poor yoang girl named Gertrade was dy- ing for the love of a young man, whose wealth precluded all hopes of marriage. One night as she sat weeping a lady en- tered he cottage, and, without saying a word placed in her lap a cushion, with its bobbins filled with thread. ‘he lady then, in perfect silence, showed her how to work the bobbins, and how to make all sorta of delicate patterns and complicated stiches. As daylight approached, the maiden bad learned the art, and the mys- terious visitress disappeared. ‘The price of the maiden’s lace soon made her rich on account of its valuable patterns, and she was able to marry the object of her love. Many years after, while living in luxury with her numerous family about her, she was startled by the mysterious lady entering her comfortable hoase—this time not silent, but looking stern. She said: “IIere you enjoy peace and comfort, while without are famine and trouble. I helped you; you have not helped your neighbor. The angels weep for you, and turn away their faces.” So the next day Gertrude went forth with her cushion and bobbins in her hand, and going from cot~ tage to cottage offered to teach the art she had so mysteriously learned. So they all became rich, and the country also. A Terrible Alternative. ‘You scem to be yery much struck by that picture,’ said my old friend the Col- onel (for as [ don’t mean to betray family secrets, | shall speak- for him as the “Colonel” only, at whose cosy nook in Buckhamshire I had quartered myself for a few days. Well, yes,’ I answered ; ‘regarding it as a picture, I should say it is by no means the best of your collection, but regarding it as a portrait, there is something about it that ‘fetches’ me. It is not that the face is either handsome or intellectual, but there is a strange, weird something about it which the artist seems to have caught fresh from the living face and trans- ferred to the canvas, and which all his after art had failed to paint out. I am sure there is some grim seeret- connected with that picture ; you may as well tell me what itis. Ifit a family secret, I promised to keep it sacred.’ ‘Well,’ he answered after a moment’s reflection, there is a painful story conuect- ed with it. The portrait is that of my graudfather—Dr. Mathias, let us call him. THe was one of the physicians in ordinary to George IIT, which position he occupied long before he had reached mid- dle age. He was a courteous, genial, kindly man, full of those sucial qualities which make a man a favorite of society. So much I have heard. When I knew him things were different. In the year 1770, full of high spirits and pleasing anticipations be went on the continent for a mouth’s holiday ; he came back at the end of it an altered man—his genial na- ture clouded with an incradicable gloom. ‘He purchased and retired to this place and turned his back upon the world, and though he was no world scorner, nothing would induce him to enter it again. Le was a widower, and his only son—my father—was then a boy at Harrow. You imagine this was not a lively place fora a high apirited young fellow to come home to. ‘They saw alittle of each other. In due time my father married, and I was born. Years passed, and one wintry night, when | was about cighteen years old, we received a telegram summoning us here. We came and were shown into the room where you slept last night. ‘The old man, with the stamp of death upon bis face, was propped up on pillows where he had lain for hours, his eyes fixed on the door, watching for us. As we entered the room the filmy eyes brighten- ed ; his eager, outstretebed hands trem- bled as we touched them. With tbe damp, death dew ou _ his brow, his voice quaking, and his whole soul suddering as he lived over again one terrible moment of his life, he told us the stury which I had the better put togetber in my own words.’ It appears that during that momentous visit to the Continent he went to Naples. Ile was received by the best society, and most hospitably entertained in the most social and political circles, where he paes- ed many pleasant hours discoursing intel- lectual and seientifi¢ suabjects—chemistry, surgery, and once, among these things, the use and misuse of poisonseropped up in the course of conversation, and some one prescut—a gentleman of some note and importance — asked what was the quickest and easiest death to diz. The subject was freely debated. One even he returned froma one of those pleasant gatherings, and in a reflective mood of mind, sat for an hour looking over the moonlit city and the beautiful, world-famous bay. It was near the mid- night when two strangers were shown in to him, :equeated his immediate atten- daace in a case of great urgency. A carriage was at the door: he got in first, they followed him, pulling down the blinds, aud the carriage rattled away. They seemed to drive a great distance turning and turning many times .O.ce he inquired. ‘Ifad they far to go? and received the bricf answer.’ No’ At last they drove iuto the court-yard of a great house. ‘The door opened as if by magic. They ascended the wide stone stair- case, and on reaching the first landing they threw open a door, and for a second be was almost blinding by the blaze of light that streamed out upon him. ‘The door clused behind him as he stepped in the room. Ie took in the whole aspect of the room at a glance ; it was gorgeously furnishe@ and brilliantly illuminated with wax candles; at a table near thie heavily curtained window a man of stern, commanding appearance, sat writing. He raised his head as they entered, aud point- ing to the far end of the room, exclaimed ; ‘Your patient lies there, gir.’ Grandfather's eyes followed the direc- tion of his finger, and observed a woman atretched upon a couch. Where had he scen that face before? Slowly it dawned apon his memory. A few days back he had been at the theatre, and glancing around was struck by a beautital, fair face, which, for the time, fascirated him ; he thought it the loveliest there. If looked on it again now ; but how chang- ed ? the hands was clasped upon the breast, as though in prayer ; a dumb, white terror was written on the face ; and in the great, uplifted eyes there was a helpless, des apairing agony sickening to behold. He inquired what was the matter—how ehe had been attacked, and seeing that she was gaged he begged them to release her mouth, that she might answer his questions, adding : ‘] must know something of the symp~ toms before I can attempt a care.’ ‘Your business here is to kill, not to cure, doctor,’ said one in a strangely sad tone which accorded ill qith his stern, fearful phrase. ‘Your patient Was spoken her last word in this world. She is doom- ed to die by a secret, though jnet, triba- nal, but we must temper justice with mercy and spare her the sham and public disgtace. eesily and secretly ; therefore we have = NO. brought her bere.* ‘A doctor never travels without his tools,’ resumed the stranger, and as he spoke he turned the lace back from the tender throat, and pointing to it, added significantly : ‘Open the jugular vein ; it is the easiest and quickest way to die.’ My grandfather started back amazed and horror-struck. These were the very words he had uttered during one of those pleasent gatherings at the house of a epolitan a few days back. ‘How dare you propose to me such a crime 4’ he exclaimed. ‘I am an Englishb- man, and will not commit marder. ‘Pshaw! your nation produces as many honorable criminals as any other. Do your work, sir, arid quickly !” ‘I refuse to obey your cruel command. Let me go. ‘The man who had been writing, and until now had taken no part whatever in the scene that was passing around him, then rose and joined the group. Lying his hand lightly on my grandfather’s shoalder, he said : ‘There is no escape for you, doctor ; every moment you hesitate you prolong that woman’s pain. She must die; and you can dispatch her with painless speed.” ‘What if I refuse ? You cannot force me to commit so foul a murder.’ He pointed to two swarthy figures (either soldiers or livered servants of some noble family —my grandfather could not tell.which,) who had been standing mos tiouless by the couch, and answered. ‘Then those faithful fellows will dis- patch you and afterwards dispatch her ; they are not professional, and their work will be clumsily done. If the operation be not performed upon your patient be fore the clock strikes, you know your fate—your life without saving hers. She is doomed ; no powcr on earth can save her.’ It was vain to speak or to expostulate with those fiends in human form. IIe felt they were as stern and inexorable as fate, It was as cruel as horrible and cowardly. Five men assembled to wit- ness the profeasional murder of a young and beautiful woman ! The clock began to chime the quarters ; it was about to strike. Ata given signal the statue-like figures stepped forward and rapidly uncoiled a rope with a nooze already made; they were about to slip it over his head and hang him to a bean which ran along the centre of the celling. The horror of facing a sudden and violent death scized bim—his death would avail her nothing for when he died. His senses were in a whirl; be threw up his bande and sprang forward. 7 “Tl do it!’ he exclaimed, and fell on his knees before her. ‘I'hey will have your life ; I can not save you, child ; bat [can shield you. from their rough and cruel hands, and put you painlessly to rest. Iorgive me‘ forgive me, for it is in mercy to you I do this cruel deed.’ The white band went out to him and closed over his in a soft, forgiving clasp ; the agony died out of the sweet eyes as they rested one moment on his face ; then with a low sigh she closed them and turned away her head. In another mo- ment her young life was ebbing slowly away. He remained by her side, holding her hand in his and watching till all was over. He would not for a second leave her with those stern men, lest a wounding word or rough touch might disturb Ler on her way from this world to the next.

Nearly all cf them lett their seats and crowded into the aisles, hooting and yelling like savages. In vain the gavel of the chairman fell with a show- er of raps. In vain he called obstreperous delegates by name, and commanded order.

Inever addressed Pres- ident Giant a personal compliment in public orin private inmy life. I never made aby persqpal remarks toany public man on Sun- day while conducting church service. One week day the President of the United States came to the National Sunday School assembly, under the charge of a christian minister born in Alabama, and who had been the President’s pastor, Several gentlemen made speeches of reception. 1 was urged to do so until refnsal would have been indecent and not to be ex- plained. Inthat address the absence of all compliment was conspicuots :and remarked, 1 told him that there were those on both sides in the late war who had dicd in the faith and out of whose souls all ani:nosity had pasaed, but that if lis old opponents stood ready to welcome him to heayen he must remember that none could enter there whose ‘robes were not washed in the blood of the Lamb. The substance of the speech as quoted by the Augusta, Ga. Constitutionalist, edited by Mr. Randall. the author of “Maryland my Maryland,” and praised as “fearless” and “Christian.” It is mortifying that‘any man in North Car olina should be capable of sncb an attack upon one of his fellow citizens, who has devoted the most of his life to the interests of the State; nevertheless Iam still proud of being called a North Carolinian.

Out in the golden summer air, Amid the purple heather, A woman sat with dmwoping head, And hands close knit together : Never a bitter word she said, Though all her life looked cold and dead— Cold in the glowing baze that lay Over the fair green earth that day, That day of summer beauty. Far. far away where leafy woods Touched the sky, cloud-riven, A thousand birds rang out life’s bliss In jubilee to heaven; How coald the poor old withered throat Carol echoes to each soft note? Every soul must pay life’s cost— Her deepest silence praised God most, That day of suminer beauty. Too dulled her soul, too worn, to feel Summer delight acutely ; While earth was praising God aloud Her patience praised him mutely. Her narrow life of thought and care— Not life to live, but life to bear. Contented that her soul wag sad, While all God’s soulless things were glad, That day of summer beauty. And where she stayed. a dusky speck In gorse and heather glory,— A weary spirit watched and read The pathos of her story: A spirit doubt-opprest and worn, Had found another more forlorn, That trustful stayed, nor sought to guess Life’s ineanings—which are fathomless, TLrough all the summer beauty. ~ —__—__—<>- Backward—Pin Backward.

The ordinance to amend article 7 of the constitution by an additional section, was taken up aa the unfinished business. ‘lhe proposed section reads in substance as follows; See. 14. The general assembly shall have full power by statute to modify, change or abridge any or all the provisions of this article, and substitate others in their place, except sections 11 and 13.

Mr. Manning, of New Hanover, moved to add a proviso which prevents the abol~ ishmeat of the county commissioners and and re-establishment of the courts of common pleas and quarter sessions.

For some weeks our northern exchanges have been filled with seriona charges of corruptiou against oue of President Grants Cabinet officers, Secretary Delano of the Interior Department, aud now one Samuel Walker, throws off the vail and expoees a regular wholesale robbery, that is being carried on in Delano’s department. Ine card over his own signature he says: “The Secretary's office has, at the Government expense, four carriages and five horser. These are attended by one foreman of stables at $840 per annom, one watchman at $720 per annum, two stable hands at $600 per annum each and two drivers at $720 per annum each. ‘The cost of harnesa and repairs of carriages, &c., fcr six months was reported to have been over $2,100. At the aame rate for the rest of the year the entire coat of cars riages and horses for the Secretary’s office alone would be about $9,000 per annum. The Secretary doubtleas does not use all the carriages and horses himself exclu- sively,but it makes no difference to the tax payer who pays for them. I am cred. ibly informed that oue of the carriages, a driver and two horses have been at Monnt Vernon, O., for the past four mouths, and the drivers wife, whois employed in the Patent Office, draws his pay during his absence. None of these things could take place without the absolute knowledge and concurrence of the Secretary and hia assistance, who thus coucur in the profit by the misappropriation of public money while cripple soldiers starve that they may have able-bodied stable hands. In gddi- tion to this landaulet accommodation for the Secretary’s office and friends iu and out of the department, the Land, Patent, Pension and Indian offices have horses and carriages, costing enormously for their support. Walker also charges that Delano keeps at the expense of the Government for the use of himself and fiiepda a gerancam and boquet nureery, and he says: “To attend to this an assistant engi- neer is acting foreman gardener, and two gardevers, at $700 each and, the services of ten laborers, at $720 each, are needed. In addition to the flower garden, the grass plots around the department are attended to by this costly foree with the aid of atill another supervisor, who is paid as engi- neer, the whole force costing more than 10,000 per annum. ‘The report of expen- ditures show that purchasers of flowers, pots, &c., are made at public expense. The example he sets is followed by those around him. Private houses are fitted up by meehanics paid by the Government, furniture is procured and earpets supplied which are charged to the Contingent Fund. Large stipments of public prop- erty have been made toa distant poiut, and, ia shorf, wholesa'e robbery bas been committed.

[From the, Cllfeago Post and Mail.) Mrs Van Coth@pents. portion of last month in earsospmmorts for the Christi- anizing of sundry awns and yillages in Pennsylvania. among these villages in the village of Freagot -in York county where she met ‘with marked’ success, and held enthusiasti etings. ’ One evening while canvassing the house for repentempsinners, she noticed a middle aged many ehe stolid expression of whose face att ‘her attention and excited Ker’ josity ; 80 in her usual magnet ‘the apprvuached him and ask yhether he would ii n not like to folly fa Wis path of tHe right: eous.- No answer could she gain, and with an audible prayer of ‘‘May God drive the dumb evil out of you, my broth- er’ ahe passed on to interview more im.. pressible subjects. Two nights passed, and the stranger again appeared at the church; but this time his eyes were lighted up with au almost maniacal glitter, and his counten- ance seemed the playground of the liveli- est emotions’ Quickly approaching the altar, he knelt among the sobbing and shouting ones, and as the religious sheph- erdess drew near, he asked her if she knew him, “Why, yes; you’re the man who had the dumb devil the other night,” she replied. fe then begged of her the privilege of saying a few words; and, the request being granted, he arose and, des liberately drawing a revolver from ‘his breast, beld it aloft-in a thrilling dramatic manner, while he told his history of life to the eager listeners. He was a resident of Chicago, where he had for many years followed his pro- fesrion of pbotographer. For the last four years he had strayed far from the path of right and virtuous living, and, as a consequence of his dissipation and de- bauchery, his wife had deserted him and returned to her friends in Pennsylvania taxing bis three children with ber.— Driven to frenzy by thie, he sank still lower and lower, until, as if the fiendish- ness of hell itself possessed him, he had parchased this weapon of death and started for the east, determined to murder hie wife aud children and then put an end to his own miserable existence. Only two nights before be sat in that church gloating over the fiendish plot. ‘The worda then epoke to him had aroused his alm~at lost mauhood, and falling agaia oo his knees he desired Mra. Van Coit to pray for him. “Child, give me tkat,” aod with the meekness of a child he handed her the weapoa, aad then feeling in bis pocket produced a Lox of cartrid~ ges, which he also placed in her bhand.— The strange sight was then presented to the woman revivalist holding in one hand a seven shooter and in the other a box of death-dealing missiles, while she offered to heaven an earpest prayer for the sa- ving of this brand from the burving. As Mrs. Van Cott finished telling the inei- dent, she said: “Never in my lite did I feel such power in prayer, and never be» fore did I offer up.a petition to my Heav- enly Father under such strange circum, stances.” The next day the man, clothed in his right mind and bappy in heart, songht the injured wife, effected a reconciliation, aud another will soon be added to the list of happy homes iu chicago. rr The Road to Ruin. [From the London Times.] It must always be with pain and delicacy and hesitation that we make any allusion to those who are supposed to be leas able to defend themselves, and the more under just authority, a8 well, it mast be added, as also the most sinued against. But one remark must be made. Even on the most superficial eurvey of society. whether in the great turnance of the me- tropolis or in the lesser fires of provincial rural life, who can shut his eyes to the lameutable fact that the gentler and kind- lier sex have a very great deal to do with that boundless and ruinous extravagance which introduces all vices, and disables all the virtues, even to decay and ex- tinction? It may be the necessity or the duty of some to spend princely pomp and luxury ; if 0 they are uply to be pitied for the difficulty of doing it gracefully, and redeeming material waste with per- sonal refinement. Butin the great town, and each season more than the laet, there are thousand and shoueands who manifest- ly spending far more than their circum: stances will allow. For very much of this deep, widespread, and still spreading evil, the woman are anewerable. It is they who dress at a rate far beyoud their income ; they who insist on the best housea in the best neighborhood ; they who muet have equipages for all uses, limes and places ; they who can not abate their manifold requirements, even when the family increases and nobler cares should take the place of childish thinge. Of course, the men have their besetting sins and their pet extravagances, sometimes very coatly ; and they have often the atill greater fault of not explaining their pecu- f Biary affairs to their wiver with manly candor of common business-like accuracy. They do not make the wife a confidant and fellow-counsellor. Bat there cannot be a doubt that in the great majority of honses the lady knows quite enough to see, with a very little reflection that sha is driving her hasband and family into atrait- ness and embarragemeat, with the risk of ruin. People must have very many and very good acres, of very good investments indeed, to be able to spend often the reus tal of a good estate iv a single entertain- ment, a dressmaker’s or an upholaterer’s ‘bill, a house at a fashionable watering ' place, a prolonged continental tour, a neck- he F a - of the wall} hetter'to be if they lace, or-some other toy. Yet women are | such creatures of rivalry and display that they ‘cantot help a sort of triamph over those who are less fortunate or less spirit- ed, and go are continually the foremost to ipflame a pernicious rivalry. What can their hasbands do? They submit, per haps. They sulk, perhaps. They more commonly cast about for ways and means, and, as they hear and learn more, they are more apt to take counsel from despair, and give themselves up to the stream ip which they are-already ‘floating helpless- ly. They cannot be worse than they are ; they may be better. - So they specu- late—that isthey gamble. They soon find they are victims, and set it down to their simplicity or their scruples. By and by they make the discovery that in sacl an affair it is better to be at the head than at the tail ; better to be on the right side an outsider. So they press inward, give and take confidences, and in time are millionaires, or bankrupts and exiles. An Insurance Bombshell. A convention of Insurance Commission- erf and Saperintendants was held in New York last ‘week. We learn fromthe New York papers that the harmony of the body was unpleasantly disturbed by Commis- sioner Jolin A. Fineb, of Indiana, whio quietly dropped the biggest kina of bomb- shell plump iuto the midat of the body. The order of the day was the delivery of addresses. When Mr. Finch’s tarn came he made a compact, logical argument, intended to show his coleagues the errors under which the whole system of life in- gurance has been Jaboring for many years past. He contenaed that the contract fur life insorance is the most one sided known in business; that it biuds the pol- icy holders aa with a chain. of rivetted gteel, and the company as with arope of sand; that the companies had every ad- vantage of the policy holder in regard to payments of divideads, the satisfaction of claims, the election of agents and _ solicix ters; that the responsibility for contracts is shifted from solicitor to general agents, from general agents to the companies, and from the compauies back again; that the companies “sit ina shadow of mystery and speak in technical phrases,” aud that when a policy is forfeited or lapses from any cause, “the holder receives what the company graciously will give.” This, remarks the Brooklyn Argus, is a steru indictment, striking at the rout of the preseut system of conducting the life insurauce business. By way ot remedy, Mr. Finch proposes the passage of a new general law, which shall make all life pol- icies non-forfeitable after the firat payment; compel the companies to be respoasible for the acts of accredited agents and 60- licitors; permit no defense at law for fraud in applications after the lapae of five years, and make a contract between comyany and holder as binding as any other con- tract. ‘I‘his proposition ia sufficiently sweeping tu stir the whele life insurance interest to ite fouudations. It will please the great mass of people who are poliey- holders, and it will displease a good many of the companies who Lave figured con- apicously iu the Jaw courts in contest over claims. But, considering the fact tbat there are in the State of New York alone more than 800,000 holders of lite policies in the different grades, and the additional fact that this vast army of the pradent are insured to the amount of $2,000,000,- 000, the new departure suggested by the Indiana Comaiissioner becomes at once a subject of populir interest. The bold defense of the policysholders will natural- ly make Mr. Finch the leader in a new agitation. he companies will be beard from in due time. a COUNTIES—THEIR RELATIONS TO THE STATE. [From the Albemarle Times. ] There appears to be no other reason why the State of North Carolina should suffer two hundred and fifty thousand of her citizens to be plundered and rebbed than the mere accident of residence. Un- der the system of county government provided by the Canby instrument, the protection due from our State to ali of her people has been withdrawn. In theory we are all North Carolinians; in fact we are inhabitants of petty government call- ed counties. The fact that our counties weve created by the State seems to bave sunk out of sight. Is there any reasoa why asystem of government which is exircmely oppressive to all those people who live between the Roanoke and Chowan rivers shoald meet with less dis~ favour siinply beeause the part of the State between those rivers is known ag the counties of the Northampton, Bertie and Herttord? Every State is divided into sections called Districts or Parishes or Counties. ‘his ia done that the law may be enforced, that j.aties way be adminis~ tered, that order may be secured, iu the eurest aud speediest way. It is done that the machinery of Siate government may run smooth and safe. It is not done for the purpose of conferring a benefit upon a portion of our citizens at the expense of the rest. Whenever a system of govern. ment becomes a burden upon two bundred and fifty thousand people out of a popa- lation of one million, it is the imperative duty of the whole people to chauge that system. Itis none the less so because the oppressed are coufiued to this or that sec. tion, The white mea of Halifax, Edge. eombe, New Hanover, Grauville and Bertie counties are citizens of North Car-~ olina, acd entitled to her protection. It will be a disgrace to withold it. Is it possible that the Convention will be una- ble to provide a system of country gov. eroment which, while it gives relief to the oppressed tax-payers of Bertie, wil! satisfy every honest man, whereyer he may live in North Caroliva? It. is im- possible. The members of that body will not hand -ever- the land of Macon, a ’ of Gaston, of Badger, of Oatlaw, the land of Pender, of Pettigrew, and of Shaw, to the hand of the ignorant, the vicious the mercenary spviler. Never while Reid and Clingman, while Jarvis and Roberts have tongues to plead for their fellow countrymen. Quar condition beggars deseription. Those who defend it are but parts-‘and parecis of the huge systems of fraud which this miserable Canby instru- meut has begotten. Gentlemen of the Convention look around yon aud see who of the delegates from Eastern North govern counties through the instramen- tality of pounty bonds ? Counties have none of the attribates ot Sovereignty. They are altogether crea- tares of the State, which is as mach boudd } to protect the citizens who’ live in them spoilation as if there were no euch things as county lines. A county is a particular portion of a State created to facilitate the administration of jastice, and the execu- tion of the laws. The protection of prop- erty, a duty belongs to our State govern- ment, haa been delegated to the Boards of County Commissioners. These Boards, mere ageits, having violated the trust, it is the duty of the State to withdraw it. Not to do so is to sanction aud adopt the act of an unfaithful and unworthy agent. We say, in plain language, to the Cons vention, there are two hundred and fifty thousand citizens in this State who des sire a change in the system of County governments. Unless it is made, there will be a wide spread demoralization in Eastern Caroliua, which will inevitably’ result in disaster to our section. Thia subject demands the exercise of a most exalted partriotism. If the Conven- tion faila to meet the issue and master it, the faith of our people iu the prufessions of party leaders will be sadly impaired. The Board:, of Couuty Commissioners must be abolished, cr else the Democratic party in North Carolina has become a mere association of men, for the purpose of scrambling for place or profit. oe A young gentleman whose name is Juseph sends to us for publication the worat verses which we remember to have wrestled with. ‘He wishes us to print them in The Tribune and to pay him for them “what we think them to be worth.” There is nothing unusual about the consignment of broken-backed stanzas ; but in a letter which comes with them the writer tells us that he “does not know whether to be a farmer or a poct,’”’ and our advice is invoked respecting the dilemma. ‘My minister says,’ observes Joseph, “that I have a great deal of talent, and thatit makes the tears come to his eyes to read my poems; but my grand- father says he had rather see me hoe pota- toes than write poetry.” And theu the con- feasion follows: ‘‘It is a great deal easier for me to write poetry than to heo pota- toes.”" Of course it is; but which is the more respectable busiuess? Poets juet now are as plenty as peaches; but first: clase potato diggers, with a real genius for that business, are not so common. There are prizes to be won in this depart- ment of human energy, and wreaths whieh may be economically woven of the tops of the plant itself. Joseph, the head of your reverend grandsire is level. You say that he is “old fashioned,” but so is common sense, which is none the worst for ite antiquity. Potatoes will always be ia request, but poema are already a drug in the market, with no prospect of diminished supply and increased demand. The pen is mightier than the sword, we admit, but the plow-share beats both. fare, young Joseph, we hope that you will follow the advice of grandpapa, aud write no poems when you can find anything better to do. A Mr. Massey, an English inventor, has completed a framework for a railway carriage, by whieh he hopes to alleviate the horrors of collisions. It is well known that the splinters of au ordinary carriage, when it is smashed do almost as much harm to passengers as the shock. The idea has already been suggested of cm- ploying papier mache as a constructive material, on the ground that it would do but little damage in case of accidents. Mr. Massey proposes to construct the framework and partitions of his carriage of iron hoope put together in a manuer which must be seen to be understood, bat which reminds us more of an iron bedstead of intricate pattern than of anything elee. Ao elastic framework is thus provided whieh will withstand a considerable pres-~ sure. Of course, it is to be eucased with some material more pleaeant to come in contact with than ‘cold iron.” The in- ventor believes that his carriage is aleo stronger and more economical than those of the present pattern. The Convention hae carried out the expectation that;it would be a body of retrenchment. It has reduced the number of Supreme Court Judges to three, saviug thereby $5,000. It has reduced the num- ber of Superior Court Judges to niue, saving thereby $7,500. It bas reduced the pay of the members of the Legisla- ture to $4 per day and limited the ses- sions to thirty days, thereby saving from $30,000 to $40,000 a session. Tne ordinance which passed the Con- vention on Wednesday, depriviog the Magistrates of jurisdiction under the pre- sent law, and leaying the matter of ar. ranging their jurisdiction in the hands of the Legislature, is) @ yery coneiderable measare of relief to the East.

It may be, however, that all was done that was thought necessary, and we do not find fault with any thing that was done with respect to the Amendments propveed ; hut we are inclined to think that the Convention should not bave ad- joarned without first having disposed of the Public Debt. There is no sort of question about the power ofthe Conven- tion to settle the debt question if the members bad felt so disposed. We think it a misfortune that it was not done, since the people have been more anxious tora Convention to settle this matter than almost any thing else. It is left just where it was with the Legislature. This amounts to repudiating it # foto, but it is a sneaking, mean way of doing it; for we take it for granted that no legislature will ever make provisian ta pay it, and of thie the Convention was aware.

Mr. Turner said the boldest man Kentucky ever saw said on a great occasion, “there was a courage he did not possess, a courage he did not eovet ; he would.not lay himself down in the way of theglory and prosperity of his country ; was too cowardly for that.” The subject matter of this petition had produced a clamor for the past nive years from one end of this state to the other. This monstrous debt was held up as in the way of the glory and_pros- perity of tle state. He hoped that before night the prayer of the grand jury wonld be granted, apd that his Democratic friends at least would not be found laying themselves down in the way of the prosperity and advancement of the common mother of us all. It was said this would be our last day; he had heard as much out of doors, bn he could not believe that this convention wou d adjourn without settling this vexatious questi n. The ordina: ce to amend art. 11 by the addi- tion of a new section, was taken up. The fol- lowing is the proposed section : The Constitution of this State be added at the end of said section as follows: “The fore- going provision for imprisonment with hard labor, shall be construed to atithorize the em- ployment of such convict labor on public works or highways, or other labor for public benetit, and the farming thereof, where and in such manner, as may be provided by law.” On motion of Mr. Tourgee, the ordinance was 80 amended as tu prohibit the punisement of convicts 30 hired out, except by a responsible officer of the State. The question recurred wpon the passage of of the ordinance on its seeond reading, which passed by a vote of 98 to 9. On motion of Mr. Coleman, the rules were suspended, and the ordinance was taken up on its third reading. Mr. Bennett moved to amend by saving that no convicts shall be farmed out who has been sentenced on a charge of murder, manslaughter, sa attempt to rape, orarson. Accepted. r. Young moved to amend by saying, “but the convicts so farmed out shall be at all times under the supervision and control, as to their government and discipline, of the Penitentiary Board or some ofticer of this State. Accepted. The ordinance then passed its third reading. On motion of Mr. Durham, the rules were ausperded and the ordinance to strike out sec. art. 4, and to insert a new section there- fore, was taken up. The following is the ordi- nance : Be it ordained by the people of North Carolina tn Convention assembled. ‘That section thirty- (ne article fonr, of the Constitution of this State: be stricken ont, and the following insert- ed in its stead, to wit: All vacancies occuring in the offices provid- ed for this Article of this Constitution, shall be filled by the appointment of the Governor, un- otherwise provided for, and the appointees shall hold their places until the next reguiar election for members of the General Assembly, when elections shall be held to fill such officers afesy pean elected or appointed to any of said officers, shall neglect and fail to quality such office shall be appointed to and filled, as herein. Allincumbents of said offices shall hold antil their successors are qualified. Under a suspension of the rules, the ordi- nance passed its second and third readings. On motion of Mr. Barringer, the rules were suspended, and the ordinance leaving the Gen- eral Assembly to provide laws concerning the carrying of concealed weapons passed its second and third readings, committee on the Judicial Department Fecommended the adoption of the following to be an additional section to article 4 of the Con. atitation: “In case the General Assembly shall eatablish other Courts inferior to the Supreme Court, the Judges shall be elected in such manner as the General Assembly may prescribe, and they shall hold their offices for a term not exceeding eight years.” The ordinance than passed its third reading by a vote of 57 to 49. On motion of Mr. Durham, the rules were _ MByended and the following ordinance was considered : “AU marriages between a white man and a negro or Indian, or between a white person and & person of negro or Indian descent, to the third presen, inclusive, are hereby forever prohibited.” Mr Albertson moved to strike out the word “In-dian.” Accepted.

Prayer by Rev. Mr. Spake, of the con- vention, Journal of Satarday read and approv- ed. Mr. Turner presented a petition from various tax-payers of Wake county pray- ing that the convention would pass an ordinance preventing the general assem- bly from paying special tax bonds with- out first submitting the question to the people, The petition was placed on the calendar. Mr. Bennett, from the committe on the judicial department, Mr. Reid, from the committee on revision, and Mr, Manning, of Chatham, from the committee on tbe jadicial department, ev'umitted reports, all of which were place on the ealendar. Mr. Albertson moved to suepend the rules and take up the Supréme Coart. The motion was adopted and the ordi- nance passed its several readings. Mr. Manning, of Chatham, moved to suspend the rules and take up tho reao- lution declaring that the General Assem- bly shall not pay special tax bonds with- out first consulting the people at the bal- lot box. An acclamation vote was taken and the chair announced the motion lost. Mr. Manning, of Chatham, insisted that be had demanded the yeas and nays before the result was announced. ‘The ebair said that the result had been announced betore the demand was made. Here a wild confusion reigned for a few minutes. The chair then reiterated his decision and the motion to suspend the rules was declared lost. Mr. Munden moved to suspend the rules and take up the ordinance reducing the nuwber of State Senators to 25, The yeas and nays were called and the motion to suspend the rules was lost by a vote of yeas 55, nays 56. Mr. Manning, of Chatham, renewed his motion to suspeud the rules and take up the resolution in regard to the payment of the special tax bouds. The yeas and nays were called and the motion was adopted by a vote of yeas 47, nays 48. Mr. Turner changed his vote to the negative, in order to move a reconsidera~ tion. By Mr. Jarvia: A resolution to ad- journ sine dieat 6 p. m., to-day. - He vioved to suspend the rules and take up the resolution for consideration and adop tion. ‘The yeas and nays were called on the motion to suspend the rules, and tbe rales were suspended. Yeas 10S ; nays Q, Mr. Turner moved to amend by mak- ing the hour of adjournment to-morrow at 12 m. Mr. Turner said that he made this mo- tion in order that a fair aud square vote on the special tax bond question might be had. Herea long debate, out of order, easued, on the manner in which these special tax bonds were issued, and asa to what the state justly owed on them on account of value received. At the conclusion of the debate, Mr. Darham called the previous question. The call was anime! _ The question recurred on Mr. Turner's amendment, which was rejecied. ‘The resolution, as introduced by Mr. Jarvis, was adopted. Here Mr. Wilcox, as a member of the committee on privileges and elcetiona, arose toa question of privilege, and read a voluminous document, going over the same ground which have been repeatedly gone over before. Mr. Withers defended the action of the committee on privileges and - elections, showing that Mr. Wilcox bad never even made a motion before the committee in re- garc to this case. He weut to give a history of the investigation, showing that the committee had acted fairly and justly in the matter. Mr, Manning of Chatham, as chairman of the committee on privileges and elec- tions, next took the floor in jastifieation of the action of the majority of tbat com- mittee. Ile went ou to show that’ the committee had used all possible diligence in the mattcr and taken all the steps pos- sible to bring about a jast solution of the cage, Mr. Avery next took the floor in de- fence of the committee. He denounced the statements by the minority of the committee that justice had not been done, as false in fact. He went on to prove that the only obstacle thrown in the way of a speedy and satisfactory adjustment of the matter, was dono so by the Republi cans on the committee. ‘hey seemed to have an anaccountable objection to a commissioner being appointed to ascer- tain what was true will of the people of Robeson county. After much confusion and desultory debate the convention, on motion of Mr. Jarvie, took a recess untii 4:30 p.m. -_——_-_~ ao... From Wilmington Journal. THE FINALCIAL ISSUE.

Waddell on the finaucial issue now so greatly agitatin the country, We decive eepecially ts call attention to the startling array of fig- ures showing the amount of money which has been paid during the past ‘ew years. is thero any wonder that “hard times’ oppress our people? ‘here must be and there will be a remedy. THE FINANCIAL ISSUE. -—_— A Second Letter ie Hon. A. M. Wad- ell. _Epriors Journan:—A young lady was diseussiug with a friend the importation of English Spatrows for the destruction of worms aud insects in the public park, when Jones, An Interesting young man entered. “Say. Mr. Jones,” said she, “give us your opiuion. They say the Sparrows are getting to be a terrible nuisance. Now which do you thiuk is the worse for us. the worms: or the sparrows?” To whieh Jones with a Sweet air of innocence, replied: J duuno., Miss Mary, J never had the sparrows.” _ Financially, the United States has had a liveligr experience than Joves, as will appear frou the following statement, taken from sees records : e public debt. on the Ist day of Joly, 1365 was $2.572,593.926; on sha bane oe September, 1875, ig 6 ; reading:}. which has been paid in the li ‘ t cot iz sho that the amount of the public ‘debt ten years is 55,199,190; but during'that time, the peo- have also paid in interest aloue $1,229,- 36,363; and for interest—army, navy, civil servive, pensions and Indians, (all told) the sum of $3,879,75g.975, which is equal to the entire National debt of Great Britain. During these same ten years the currency of the country in which the people dealt has been contracted—as I showed in my last let- ter—more than a thousand millions¢ being $1,963,677.414, on the Ist of Angust, 1865. and only $779,669,396, (exclusive of reser- ves) on the Ist of November, 1874. Sach an exhibit is without a parallel in the history of the world, and it is one to which the attention of our people has rarely, if ever, been called. And yet, as has already appeared, a Radical Congress, in order, as I believe, to embarrass their Democratic suc- cessors, passed an act last winter to resume specie poy perarers on and after Jan- uary Ist, 1879! Isay it was done, in my opinion, for the purpose of embarrassing the Demoorats who were about to eome Into power, and wy reason for so asserting is that they provided no adequate means for the end proposed, and must have known, as everybody else does. that it could not be ac- complished aj the time designated. _ The question for consideration is not whether we will have coin or paper money, bat whether we will have paper money or no money atall. We have paid all the enormous amounts above mentioued in the last ten years with greenbacks aud national bank notes as the established currency, but it has now become fashionable to call them ‘“‘rags.” How is this? The maxim ‘‘cousistency is a jewel” is very absurd in its ordinary applicatiou to politices— because it meats that however cir- oumstances may change opiuions must be inflexible—but I cannot understand how those who established our paper money sys- tem during the war, and who were reqdy to hang. or inprison any ove who discredited it in tte least degree, ean now denounce greenbacks as “trag-money,” and stiginatize those who are satisfied with it fur currency, as ‘‘repudiations,’’ and advocates of ‘‘dishun- est money.” I can readily see how an old fashioned follower of Mr. Benton could have opposed the original issue of paper money by the Governinent and could have denied the power of Congress to make it a legal teader, bat huw men who claimed that the passage of the legal tenter act ‘was what saved the Union and crushed the rebellion,” and who denounced as disloyalist those who doubted the integrity of the currency, can now have the audacity to denounce this same currency as ‘‘rags,” the circulation of which isa ‘‘national dishonor,” and to characterize those who are willing to continue it as the currency of the eountry as ‘‘ipflatiovists’’ and ‘repudiatiunists” is vot so easy to under- stand, unless we attribute their chang. of position to very unworthy motives. Does not the whole secret lie in the fact that they are the creditor classes of the community, geuerally speaking? Is not this outery against “inflation” confined almost exclu- sively to the money centers of the country? I am presenting faets, not discussing theories. I have nv prejudices against capital, or the coutrary. The capitalists has rights as sa- cred as any other citizen, and no more. The creditor class deserve and ought to receive the same protection as the debtor class, and no more. If a mau made himself a creditur of the Governinent. by buying its secarities very far below par in a depreciated currency he has no very special right to demand a speedy redemption of the security at par in gold, if snch redemption will derange busi- ness, depreciate pruperty aad oppress the tax-payer. That such would be the result if specie payments at an early date are en- forzed no oue can deny. Is it fair or honest to brand as ‘‘repudiators” those who are op- posed to this enforced return tu specie pay- ments at au early day ? I never have seeu a man iu favor of repudiating any part of the debt of the United States. Some miserable demagogues have, in the discussion of this financial question, tried tu raise some of the old war prejudice by charging that the peo- ple of the South have taken the ‘iuflation”’ side of the question in the hope of eventually repudiating the national debt. Such a charge is about as honest and truthful as the old, worn-ont one that the Southern people are a community of assassins who are only waiting a chance to butcher the entire colored popu- lation, Now, sv faras I know oublic senti- ment, there are not only no ‘repudiators,” bat no ‘inflationista” in this part of the coun- try. If opposition to any further contraction or the currency makes them go, then the country is full of them, I believe that nine ty-nine men out of every hundred would re- joice to see the credit of the government re- stored so that its promise to pay a dollar would be equivalent to a dollar at home and abroad; but there is not more than onein a hundred who believas that we can return to specie payment on the Ist of January, 1879 —as the present law requires—unless there is further legislation of a totally different character from any we have had recently. What kind of further legislation will meet the wants of the country. and particularly of the Southern States, will be briefly discussed in another issue of your paper. Before concluding it may be worth while to call attention to one subject, whieh illus- trates how tenderly the bond-holders have heretofore guarded the national] hunor and strenghtened the publio credit, even to the extent of forcing Congress to bind the people for much more aint they ever promised to pay. This subject is the 5-20 bonds. The five-twenty bonds were issued by the goverument to the extent of sixteen hundred million and bear 6 per cent, interest. They are payable in tweaty years, with the option to the government of reducing them in five years, whence they were called 5-20 bonds, but there was no stipulation on their face for payment in gold. The “legal tender act?’ was passed in 1862, and expressly provided that the notes issued under its authority should be “legal tender for all debts, public and private, except duties on ivipoits and interest on the public debt.” Anything, due by the people, except import duties and the interest on the pubiic debt, might be paid in these notes. Therefore the 5-20 bonds were anquestionably redeemed in them. Indeed both parties sv agreed. and Thaddeus Stevens, who drew the bill and passed it through the House of Represeuta- tives as Chairmaa of the Committee of Ways and Means, denounced any other construc: tion of tha law as a swindle and robbery. And yet !n 1869, nearly seven years’ after the bill passed, and the law was so under- stood. an act was passed authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay 5-20 bonds in gold at par! Those bonds constitute three- fourths of our entire bonded debt, and put- ting the average premium on gold at 10 per cent.. the redemption of them will cost the people more than $150000,000 over the. above what they agreed to pay, and were bound to pay. These bonds, like all other obligations of the United States, are exempt from taxation! They were sold for green backs when S conyecke were depreciated nearly one-half the purehasers of them know- ing they were redeemable in greenbacks— aud yet they god a law passed. making them payable in gold, at par, years after the orig- inal contract was made! This loved very tguch like #; tation of their contract b the bondholders oo Wishing to make my letter short, I will atop here, i. Very respectfully, . A. M, Wappzu. oan eae Me. J. J.

I have put intd market this: season 440 bales and have ample anpply for stock and wianu- ritg parposes. besides latge amouct of straw for the same purpose. There is no farming interest in this section of the coun- try so important to us Farmers as the Hay Crop. How many of us that leave our slag- gish streams untouched to slay ourselves and neighbors with chills and fevers, and to fill our barns with weeds, when the finest hay could be put up bg a little more indus- try. Every person that has such land, the soouer he awakens to its value the better it is for him and fur future generations. Wee hope the time is not far distant when we can see our uplands waving with clover and orchard grass—thus we shall have a great saving of labor and add ten fold value to our lands, and with an anual income in propor- tion. Let us look back ten years and. see what an immense demand there is annually on this market far hay, and by the improved Horse Power Press, we ¢an compete with any other market. Let the farmers of old Rip Van Winkle feed.the mules of the cot- tou growing sectivu,and in 10 years we shall all see who will get the gold and improve their Jands. We have a climate adapted especially to stock atid grass, and all of us should strive to meet * natures golden gifts. Why should we-stuéfber and have easier in- dustry aud perseverance, Lvoad our carts dowd with hay whea it is all within our reach to fill the barns of the burning sands of the fields. Let usall cheer up and say ainong ourselves, it shall be done. Aud when this is all doue who can estimate the annual crops of wheat and other grain that will come on every aeason. Sow your clo- ver aod orchard grass seed. on your wheat lauds aext March. [hope all the farmers in Ruwan will awaken up, to the cultivation of grass, as has been doue iu Salisbary and Fraukliu townships. A FARMER. Cnn Capt. Ben Robinson, of Fay- etteville, Announces his Sever. ance from the Republican Party. [Raleigh News. ] The following letter from Captain Ben. Robinson, formerly editor of the Wits mington Dispatch. has been received by a Democrat in this city, and has been handed us for publication. We are pleased to chrenicle that so gallant a gen- tleman has severed bis eonnection with the Radical party—a party powerless to accomplish any good fur the people of North Carolina, ever if it had the dispcsi- tion to do so: FayerTrevitie, N.O, Sept. 16. My Dear Sir: You are not mistaken in supposing that Ido not care to dir- guise my political sentiments. My opiu- ions are at your service, No stranger am I to the position I now hold ; I am Southern to the back~bone.— Nor you, nor any one, knowing me as intimately and as able to look equarely at facta unblined by prejudice, ean even have doubted my affection for the South. It was this made me a soldier in its ar- mies ; it waa this panoplied me with for~ titude to endure a thousand helle of physical agony resulting from wounds received in ita service. The hupe of do- ing soroething for the South—assiating to do something—to retrieve its fallen for- tunes, when at the point of the inexora- ble victorious sword, [ was divorced from my idea of the good government in 1865, made me willing to aurvive brave and more fortunate comrades who now sleeps ing share Stonewall Jackson's eternal hivonack. It was this made me endure the sacrifice of pride that my vote for Horace Greely cast in 1872. It was this—in the hope that the coucesgion it shared in by the Southern peo fle would transinate the mailed hand of the North into a minister to one’s suffering, that in- duced me to turn from the counsels of my passions, my pride, my associations, and the admonitions that were silently spoken from the twenty-one battle fields on which I had fought ‘before I was twenty one years old, aud te unite with the party to which I had been a constant foe since my boyhood. I believed that power made parties magnanimous. I be lieved that submission would evoke gen- erosity, and so help me God for the rea- son that I loved the South and believed that it had no where else to look for suc- cor save to the Republican party, and for no other reason, | bowed my head to the pitiless storm of inactivity that has been piled upon me in the agony of vengeance. In some things that party has disaappointed me, (the sneerer will say in not giving me office, but I have passed the ordeal of malignant criticism too often to care what the sneerer may say,) in many things I am not in accord with it, aud especially as to Livil Rights consequently 1 have renounced alll alles glance to it. Yet I do not leave it with any othor than the kindest feelings and the warmest admiration for many of ite members whose friendship 1 have won sinee my connection with it. Bnt for a resolution firmly fixed in my mind to retire to the rear in all party men the custody of the nation’s honor and the nations welfare, I should say that the South needs to cultivate a little more tolerance for divergent opinions within ite own borders, to make a common gectional cause in Congress, to wield its balance of power en masse for the securing of na- tional aid in completing the Sonthern Pacitic Railroad, and the several trans- continental Southern canala. From this nettle of sectionaliam the flower of a true national feeling would be plucked. Tbe South would be no less materially ime proved than it wonld be made complaisant towards the North, while, by indirecily restoring to the South the destroyed capital that followed the fall of slavery, the North would not only be returning to the safferer his goods and benefitting the emancipated slave, but would be creating a market whose demand would put in mo- tion every idle loom, every wasting ship, kindle a fire in every deserted furnace, and bring back to the eheek of» every unemployed taborer the native hue of hops and satisfaction. Meanwhile J am for the South, and await the party that will seize thie Ariadoe’s thread: to lead-the country a of ite present laby:ynth of woes.” - - Traly yours, & conticts, and to leave to better and wiser } Fall and Winter © | Come, Having jnet returned from New York and Philadelphia.

On Tuesday evening, when the W. N.C. R.

Select your trees, and have them brought on by the middle or last of Nover- ber, fur trans: planting. Posxic SCALES: The public scalee are now in full operation, and seem to meet with great favor. We sawa load of hay the other day, for which the owner could get only four dollara offered. He had it weighed, sold it by the pound, aud it netted him nearly seven dollars. That shows how the old thing works. It’s vastly better and fairer for all parties concerned to buy and eell only by weight and measure. Gueas-work don’t pay. Convention : Our delegates to the Convention, Messrs. F. E. Shober and John 8. Henderson have re- turned home, that body having adjourned on Monday last, after a confining seasion of thirty, one days. They were both working and influ- ential members, and did credit to the good reputation of old Rowan. The Convention did not do all that was expected of jt, ag under the circumstances it was impoesible, but they did much that will be for the good of our people.

The indications are highly encouraging for a large attendance of strangers, and a large. exhibition of articles from a distance, than have been seen at: any previous Fair. Willour own county people do their duty in the matter? Let every farmer {in the county come in atleast one day, and bring his wife and children. It will be time and money well spent. Nationa Hore.. Mine host of the National formally opened evening. Quite a number ofcitizens were pres- ent to partake of an elegant repost, and all were well pleased with the handsome manner; the tables were furnished as well as with the abundance and richness of viands. Mr. Schloss, the new Proprietor, is an old hotel manager, and presides with grace and ease.. Mr J J Bell, oneof the best caterers in the State, has been employed to assist Mr, Shloss in the management of the National, and they promise that it shall be second to none in the State. . 3 Ke The decision of the U. S. Supreme Coart on the Civil Rights law of 1866, is published. The object of the law was to impair the efficiency and destroy the power of the State Courts by permittiag the transfer of causes, on the flimsiest pretexts, to Fed- eral tribunals. After a lapse of nine years a case has finally been made before the Supreme Court, and the3law declared unconstitutional. —_——- Fine Cotton, Mr. Samuel R, Harrison has a lot near this place of the Pierce cotton, that will pay any farmer to visit. Itis undoubtedly the best boled or fruited cotton we have ever seen growing, and we haye seen nearly all the favored varieties. We have seen some stocks that would number two and_ three hundred bolls and shapes. Mr. H. paid tea dollars for w bushel of the seed enough to plant three acres, but his stand, owing toth- bad spriog, is bad. yet he thinks he will urake 3 bales. We believe this Pierce cot- ton will yield 50 per cent. more than alinost any other variety on any sort of land. Go and see it and be couvinced. The Bess: The boss has gone to farming with a high hand, and will, providence permitting, have upward of awhole bale of cotton for market this season. It will be of that elegant quality known as ‘bright stairs,’ and as the product of editorial sweat, ought to command a yery high price. We think we'll get our friend L. Moses Brown to auction it offon the public square. The bess has made some reputation as a horse man, too, and the way he swaps, trades and buys is a caution, and then to see bim sailing round in his jersey, loaded with pigs, is asight to encourage the rising generation. He’s going to bea model farmer, he ia, and Franklin township will see some agricultural feats on that model farm, which, it never .creamt of before. —_——— Franklin Church: On Sunday last the new Presbyterian Church, at Franklin, in this county was dedicated to the worship of Almighty God. Accepting tne offer of a seat behind Capt. P. B. Kennedy’s span of bays, we drove vut to find an immense concourse of people assembled, including quite a number from town. The church war packed at an early hour, not more than half the crowd being able to squeeze in. Two sermons were preached, and the rite of baptism, and the sac- rament of the Lord’s supper administered, ‘in addition tothe dedicating services. Between the sermons the whole grove was spread out with tables, loaded down with dinner, and all present were amply fed. The new church isa credit to the Franklin people. It isa handsome frame structure, x 36 by 58 feet, including ves- tibule, above which is a gallery! Painted within and without, with handsome pulpit, elegant lamps, comfortable pews, convenient book racks, &c., &c., and will, seat nearly ac many persons as any church in Salisbury. There was a protracted seryice at this church from Thursday of last week to Monday night of this, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Mack, of Rocky River; Rev. Mr. Crawford, the Evange- list; and Rev. Mr. Rumple, of Salisbury—re- sulting in an addition of 12 members. The community at Franklin is one of the most thriving to be found anywhere, and of it we shall have more to say heaafter. By-the- way, we learn from Maj N. F. Hall, how this church came to be named Franklin. The Maj. gays he went to school there in 1821, and ata little later time Rev. Franklin Watt, a Presby- terian divine, preached in a school house near where the present church stands. During his ministry, probably about 1826, a church was built, and in his honor it was named Franklin, which name the community, and eventually the township, took. “Efe, being dead, yet speaketh.” Turner’s MN.

The band wagon, drawn by two horses atd tén camels; the gay aod nimble foot. ponies; the. plump formed a scene too enticing to be resisted by ordinary humanity. ‘The streets were crowded. ‘The procession moved between two rows of people numbering thousands. No conquering hero, marching between his armed hosts upon parade, was ever the recipient of more ardent admiratioa. The crowd assembled under the canvas yesterday afternoon was very large. Every seat was filled and hardly a dozen more could have been packed jin. Most of the visitors lingered awhile in the outer tents before they entered upon the joys of the circus. ‘There is a group of wax figs ures represehting Mr and Mrs Beecher, Mr and Mrs Tilton, and the lost Charley Ross, to be seen in the first tent (there are three tente), which every one stops to look at. The steam man is there also to be viewed. In the next tent there is a menagerie. It is very extensive, the specimens are fine,and are in excellent; condition. ‘I'he seaslion, the giraffe, and some other rare animals claim attention. The elephant is the joliest of his race, aod eeems really to be pleased with his situation in life. Ip that respect be differs from the tions, tigers,‘and wolves, whieh continually fret at their prison-bare, aod scem to pine for the desert and freedom.

The preforming lions are a wonder, 80 is their keeper, who plays with them and the leopard, ae any one else would with a dog. ‘I'he acrobatic feats are not to be excelled. ‘The trick ponies are wonderfal indeed. Many other things are noticea- able, though to mention them here would twenty-five horses was a surprising feat, and placee the artist who accomplished it in the fore front of his profession. The clowne do well as actors, and say some good things. A great many poor things generally heard at circuses they prudent- ly omit. Altogether, thé cireus is worth seeing. It is probably, the very best one travel-1 ing, and those who cannot find in it much to enjoy are hard to please indeed. There was a superb audience last night and there will be chances for two more to-day.— Richmond Dispatch, 21st inst.

With shocking sens 8 bility does honesty look upon the knaves, (and they are many,) who for a pittance will sell their independence of soul and thought, and truckle to the biddings, tastes and forms of the powerful. Shame to the conscience of noble man —manu whose conscience has watured in an education natural to him—living in the bright blaze of civilization and en- lightenment. Shame to God’s noblest work, when he ginks his noblest attrib- ute in a conformity to that which makes his soal to sicken, and his heart’s blood boil within him. Oh, that peace and plenty would blees’our land bountifully, that men might forget their beastly attrib- utes and learn godliness, purity and char. ity. With what a tame feeling of pleas- ure does honor, forced by the cursed cus- toms of the times, shaked the proffered band of foreaken principle. Reeollections of happy days of yore—of childhood’s playfulshouts—and youth’s continued fonduess—of manhood’s noble love—all still endear and bring us near, but watch the approach. Honor bold, but modest and respectful. Forsaken principle shy, blushing aud deceitful. The outward eadeavoring to hide the inward man. “O, tempora, O, mores!” EE ES seg . — The Great Anti-Periodic. The certainty ard promptitude with which Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters conquer the most obstinate cascs of malarial diseaze, and the complete protection which they affurd the system against the miasmatic poison whicb impregnates the air of low-lying, marshy lo- calities, stamp them as the foremost of A meri- can anti-periodics. Wherever on this couti- nent fever and ague !s a regular visitaut—in the bottom lauds of the South, the new clear- ings and mining districts ofthe West, and in all localities inthe Eastern aud Middle States where malaria prevails, Lhe Bitters are recog nized as the only true specific for the disease, and its most reliable preventive. They are inoreorver, a safe and agreeable as well as 4 certain remedy, aud on this account are im- messurably superior to the preparations of quinine, arsenic, bismuth, and other mineral poisons mistakenly administered as curatives ior maladies caused by miasma, and which if persisted in work irreparable injury to the con- stitntion Unfortunately, fever and ague, and the other febrlie complaints generated by miasma, are not the only evils which result from it. A vreat vamety of disorders are superinduced by the iritation which it causes. Among these are neuralgia, rheumatism, gout periodical headache. palpitation, painful affections of the spleen, and various derangements of the stom- ach. When traceable to malaria, the above affections are apt to assuine like the disease which originated them, an intermittent tpye; that is to say. they recur at regular intervals. Uostetter’s Bitters, however. obviates them all, by banishing the miasmatic virus from the gystein. NAR cea YT I Wn EEE AEE AE HOW TO CURE FEVER AND AGUE.

A re- port of the case was immediately made to the police and an investigation made. Three sons of the deceased were thereupon arrested and locked up on the charge of brutally assaulting their father.

Many years since, the wife of a wealthy and distinguished man, in a fit of insanity, threw her two little sods oat of a lofty window of her bean- tiful home. One died and the other was unharmed, The mother was committed to a lunatic asylum, where she remained many years without recovering. By his wealth and political influence the husband procured an act of the Legislature by which he became divorced from his un- fortunate wife, In the mean while, the son whom his mother had thrown trom the window had become affianced to a lovely girl; but she jilted him, and mar- ried his father, who gave her most of his vast estate. Finally, the father died, the first wife recovered and sued the second wife for the property, assisted by her son, whose early love for his step-mother was sarped to gall by her unfaithfuloess, and transferred to the mother te depiive bim of lite. who attempted |h.’il te just as T\T a Perfo Bind? | a country village, a New England coun- try village in. particular, What with some beauty, a trifle of accomplishments, a great deal of sentiment and plenty ,of novel reading, she ie fdrnished out for the profession of flirting.

There is a very pretty story told in connection with the introductiou of the manufacture of fine lacer in Brussels. A poor young girl named Gertrude was dy- ing for the love of a young man, whose wealih precluded all hopes of manage. One night as she sat weeping a lady en- tered he cottage, and, without saying a word placed in her lap a cuabion, with its bobbins filled with thread. Fhe lady then, in perfect silence, showed her how to work the bobbfns, and how to make all sorts of delicate patterns and complicated stiches. As daylight approached, the maiden had Jearved the art, and the mys- terious visitress disappeared. The price of the maiden’s lace scon made her rich on account of ita valuable patterns, and she was able to marry the object’ of her love. Many years after, while living in Juxary with ber numerous family about her, she was startled by the mysterious lady entering her comfortable hoase—this time not silent, but looking etern. She said: ‘Here you enjoy peace and comfort, while witbout are famine aud trouble. I helped you; you have not hélped your neighbor. ‘ihe angels weep for you, and turn away their faces.” So the next day Gertrade went forth with her cushion and bobbins in her hand, and going from cot-~ tage to cottage offered to teach the art she had so mysteriously learned. So they all became rich, aud the country also, THE MANIA FOR SELF -DES.- TRUCTION, The thoughtful reader of the daily press must be forcibly struck with the alarm- tug number of suicides which have lately taken place in the country. The police records would appear to show an increase of the crime and an eubaucement of its popularity, and a. daily perueal of our exchanges discloses the fact that this in- creaze is not peculiar to one place. We find that suicide is steadily gaiuing ground throughout the United States, and is even still more popular‘in Europe. Recently, a French paper published statistics, which showed that the number of deaths by suicide in France and Ger- many was greater than the increase of population, and thatthe suicides in the latter country exceeded those of the for- mer in proportion to the total number of people. At this rate, if the mania for self-destruction progresses in the ratio of its increase within the past ten years, the population of these countiies will be gradually decimated, and finally, in the space of, perhaps, two hundred years, become totally extinct. It is dificult, howeyer, to believe these statistics, and for our part, we candidly confess az entire incredulity. The same growth is observable in Great Britain, ita votaries being chiefly of the poorer classes. Suicide has always been a noted feature in the British army, and with non-commissioned officers more than with soldiers of avy other rank. These are strange appearances which present themselves with the growth and progress of civilization. Suicide was a means of death almost unknown to the age which proceeded the heroic. In the halcyon days of Greece and Rome we find it was resorted to only in an extreme case of violated honor, and then among the patricians and great ones alone. It was only when ahigher and more elevated Christianity became known in Western Europe that suicides of the present stamp came into vogue, and with the last decade it has grown to alarming proportions. In the words of Shakeepear we would say, “There’s something in it more than nat-~ ural if phjlosophy could find it out.” ———-____— Nettie Goes Visiting. “Ain’t you surprised to see me?” said a five-year old girl, as she tripped into my house in the midst of a rain storm.— “The raia fell all over me like it ran down through a strainer, and 1 shooked it off, but it wonlda't stay shooked.

Captain Cox, with ~ HIS GALLANT CREW, succeeded in saying the lives of all the residents in that neighborhood, twenty- one in all. Everything was lost bat their lives, and Captain Cox comes to Galves- ton in their behalf for provisions and clothing. The names of the persons saved on the Eugenia Cox, are Captain Bunch, Mrs. Bunch, G. W. Bunch, Mrs. Cicero, I’. D. Linder, wife and child, W. B. Perkins, wife and two children; W. J. Davis, Jesse Williams, wife and cbildren; Miss Hattie Perry and Mrs. Cox and two children, Captain Williams carried his wife and two children a distance of two miles on a horse, the noble animal swims ming part of the time. ‘I'he sloop was ONLY SAVED by cutting away the mast and rigging, and allowing ber to drift with the tide.— Captain Cox reports that the whole coun- try was alive with snakes, and it was with great difliculty they were kept out of the houses after the water had risen bigh enough to drive them from their usual places of concealment. The water was covered with them, the sloop being driven through them for ten miles. It wae a difficult matter to keep. them off the sloop. Captain Bunch was bitten, but bas recovered. One Hundred Years Ago. We have in constant use a Printing press with quite a history. ‘his press, an old “Rtammage,” was brought to Salisbury, N. C., trom Baltimore iu 1832, by Hamilton C. Jones, Sr., the then Editor of the Salisbury ‘Watchman.’ The Press, when purchased by Mr. Jones, was an old one, and we are informed by Mr. M. C, Pendleton, whois now a composi. tor in this office, that when he first saw the Press after its arrival in Salisbury, that it looked then as much used as now. Mr. Jones used the press in publishing the Wtachiman for seyen years, when he suld the Watehman office to M. C. Pen- dleton aud J, J. Broner, who edited that paper and coutioued to use the old Rams wage Prees until the Watchman changed hands, passing into the possession of M. C. Pendleton, Subsequently into that of the present publisher of the Watchman, J.J. Bruner, Eeq. Mr. Bruner used the old Press until 1870, when it was purchased by Hough aud Johnson of this place, from whom, with their office and appurtenances, it paseed into our poszes- sion in April, 1875. Mr. M1. C. Pendleton, who, in 1832, was a compositur in the same office with the old Press, still keeps 1g company, and now, although 72 years of age, and with only one eye, still stands to his case, and can set 7,000 ems per day.—He and the old press have passed through many scenes and have been companions almost coystantly for 43 years. ‘Mr. M. C. Pendleton commenced his life as a printer in 1816, iu the “Vir giniau”’ office, at Lynchburg Va. For nearly 60 yeare he bas bern almost con stantly in a Printing Office, and the pres ent-article will be “set up’ by bim. He gives the cleanest proof we have ever seen in our several years’ experience with Ink slingers.—From all sources of information at our command, we are confident that the Press we allude to, and which we now use in the publication of the “Central,’ is at least a ceutury old. We think we can sately claim to have at work in this office the oldest press and compositor in the United States. Mr. Pendleton and his old companion, the Press, has passed through many exciting aud stormy scenes in Journalism, aad possess a most interesting history. We trast he may be ¢pared for many years to come, and that his trusty and tried friend, aud companion, theold “Rammage Press,” may last long enough to see the perfect defeat uf Radicalism in 1876, and that both the old priater, and his friend of nearly half a centary, may continue to contribute to the srecess of the Democracy and the revival of better days than they have been forced to present to the public for years past. Who can show an older printer or press ?—Lexington Central. ———_~ <a The man who undertakes to live two lives will find thathe is living but one, and that one isa life of deception.

Hundred Eighty Thousan Years Old. [From the Scientific American, July 31] and. In the current number of "the Overland }° Monthly, a California geologist reviews the geological evidence of the antiquity of a hu- man settlement near the present town of Cherokee in that State, and estimates the age of that most ancient of discovered towns to be not less than one Lundred and eighty thousand years! The traces in question are numerous, stone mortars,-fonnd in undisturbed white and yellow gravel-of a subaqueous formation, not fluviatile, underlying the vast shevts of volcanic ruck of which Table Mountain is a part. In one instance a mortar was found standiag upright, with the pestle in it, “p parently just as it was left by its owner. In some cases the mortars have been found at the depth of forty feet from the surface of the gravel-underlying Table Monntain. The distribation of the mortars is such as to in- dicate with great positiveness the former ex- istence of a human settlement on that an- cient beach when the water stood near the level at which they occur; a time anterior to the volcanic outpouriug which Table Moun- tain records, and anterior to the glacial epoch. The recent geological history of that re-4 gion may be briefly summed as follows : Previous to the placing of the mortars in the position in which they have been found, the early and middle tertiary sea level had rece- ded to the position of the coal beds underly- ing Table Muuatain, fully one thousand feet below the level of Cherokee. Subsequently; in the pliocene period, there was a further subsidence of about fifteen hundred feet, something like six hundred feet occurring after the mortars bad been abandoned. All this, as lias been noticed. took place before the volcanic outtlows which covered up tbe ancient detritus of the region, including that of the aucient rivers (whuse gravel have fur- nished so much of the gold of California.) The geological age ofthe river period was determined by Lesquereux from specimens of vegetation, now extinct, collected in the survey of the ancient rivers; specimens indi- cating o flora of the pliocene age, retaining sume characteristic miocene forms, After the volcanic period the laud rose again, the time of the emergence embracing the glacial period and the new eroding period in the serra, during which the slates, and the hard metatnorphis greenstones, and the gran- ites were slashed with canons three thousand feet deep by the action of ice aud running water. Takiug the rates of contivental movement determined by Lyell, our geol.- gist calculates that the time required for the changes thus outlined could not have been less than eighteeu hundred centuries. For a period so long proceeding the glacial epoch asthe time when ancieot Cherokee was burried by the waters of the advancing sea, his estimate is certainly uot extravagant, though it does trausceud go enormously the time men have beeu accustomed to allow for a man’s resideuce on earth. 8 I Wish I had Capital. So we heard a great strapping young he exclaita the other day in an oftice. fe did want to tell him a piece of our mind go bad, and we'll just write to bim. You want capital do you? And suppose you bad what you call capital, what would you do with it? You want capital } Haven't you got hands, and feet, and muscle, and bone, and brain, aud don’t you call them capital? What more did God give to anybody? “Oh, they are not money,” say you. But they are more than money, and nobody can take them trom you. Don’t you know how to use them? If you don’t its time you were learning, Take hold of the first plow, or hoe, or jack~-plane, or broad-ax that you can find, aod go to work. Your capital will soon yield youa large interest. Aye, but there’s the rub. You don’t want to work; you want money or credit, that you may play the gentlemau and speculate, and eud by playing the vagabond. Or you want a plantation and negroes, that you may hire an overseer to attend to them, while you run over the country and dis- sipate; or you want to marry some rich girl who may be foolish enough to take you for your good looks, that she may support you. Shame upon you, young man! Go to work with the cipital you have, and you will soon make iuterest enough upon it, and with it, to give you as much money as you want, and make you feel like ~@ man. If youcau’t make moyey upon what capital you have, you couldn’t make it if you had a million dollars in money. If you don’t know how to use bone and muscle and brains you would not know how to use gold. Ifyou let the capital you have lic idle and waste and rust out, it would be the same thing with you if you had gold; you would only know how to waste. Then don’t stand about like a great helpless child waiting for somebody to come in and feed you, but go to work. Take the firet work you can find, no mat- ter what it is, that you may be eure to do itlike Billy Gray did bis drumming— well. Yes, what you andertake, do it well; always do your best. If you man- age the capital you already bave, you will soon have plenty more to manage; but if you cau’t or won’t manage the cap- ital God has given you, you will never have any more to manage. A GREaT Corn Crop. ~According to the September report of the Agricultural Bureau at Washington, the American corn crop thie year is the heaviest one ever produced; but there is some doubt of saving it all on account of bad weather, and the backwardness ofthe crop. The Department contends that the overflow of summer did not diminisd the crop in the bottom land go mucb as the wet weather benefited it on the upland, and that the | 48 average yield per acre is unusually high This is good news to people who buy corn. _—_ ao , That was a smart boy at a neighbor iag Academy who when told that “heat generates motion” resolved to demonstrate the truth of the statement by slipping a piece of lighted punk in the teacher’s The demonstration convinced him —was triumphant, and the motion gener- tien of enangel.

Now I suppose I was too much excited to fall asleep easily, and for the last three days I have been puzzling my brains to find out how I had better have my new tilk made. Idon’t care about basques, and bustle skirts are my abomination; anyhow sleep I could not get. I turned and twisted, and sat up and lay down.— 0; it was no good. At lengtl, however dozed off; but through my slambers Came noises, strange gratings noises, a8 of flower pots being moved, or a fire being raked out. I took no notice. I ew that Susannah did alwaye rake the fire out before she went to bed, so I aup- posed she was performing that august ceremony. Bat before long three tre- mendous bangs at the hall door fairly woke me up. I listened. Was the house on fire? A minute, and scroop went a window. ‘Who’s there ?”” bawled papa. Somebody growled something. A policeman, I thought, and shook all over. Then Susannah opened her door and came ranning down stairs» Maria would sleep through a railway accident. ‘What is it?’ said Aunt Jane, coming out of her room, which is next to mine. ‘Oh, don’t you: truuble ’em,’ answered Sasannab; ‘you go to bed: I'll see to it;’ aod hurried on, I fay and quaked. For a while all was quite still—so still that I felt impelled to get up ond listen; buat barely had I reached the door when quite frightfal sounds besieged my ears—sounds as of people scaffing, mingled with screams. ‘Policeman !” I yelled. ‘Policeman— murder—fire!"" Anything you like to motion. . Out dashed papa; out, dashed Aunt Jane. “For goodness’ sake,’ cried mamma, ‘don’t go down that; you’ll be killed to acertiinty. Why, you haven’t even got a poker !’ I tlew to the fireplace. ‘Here,’ I said—‘here, papa !’ and thrust out the familiar implement, But he was gone. I caught a glimpse of the tail of Aunt Jane’s red flannel dreasing-gown as it whisked round the turning. Our stair- case is a wonder. It seems to have wrig- gled out of the mind cf the architect who designed this tenement much aga worm will out of a pea. ‘What ever is the matter?’ demanded 1 of mamma, who seemed fit to drop. He’s ran through the garden !’ scream- ea Susannah. ‘Oh, the rascal! Police- wan ! ‘Good gracious !’ gasped mamma. Through the ball tore a large and helmeted person in blue, and ont at the garden door. Out tore Susannah. Whether Aunt Jane joined in the chase Tam uot sure; but she bas got brou- chitiv. ‘Spring yout rattle!’ roared papa, who seemed to have ‘secreted himself, from feelings of modesty possibly, in the pan- try. . ‘The policeman sprang his rattle accor- diogly, and having done so, seemed well satisfied. At all events, he speedily came back again. ‘Have you got him?” inquired papa. ‘Lor, uo, sit,’ says Susaunah (who, I may here mention, is our cook); ‘* ’e’s gone arta mile by this time. Lcf this young man’ — ‘My dear woman,’ broke in our guar- dian of the peace, ‘is there no male pergon in this house, that you must ueeds go and willfully endanger your precious lite?’ ‘Lor, yes,’ replied Susannab,? ‘there’s master ain’t there ? ‘Then,’ said the policeman, ‘I consider it was your duty to let him come down and see what could be done.’ ‘Of couree, of course,” said papa, com- ing out of his retirement, and seeming to knock down a wine glass. Mamma groaned, and clutched my arm dreadtully as she heard the smash. ‘You pre- sume this man effected an entrance through the kitchen window, _ police- man ?’ ‘Presume!’ exclaimed Susannah, who is a west-couuty woman, and a3 hot as alive coal. ‘I found the rascal ’uddled up be’ind the door. ’E'’d opened the windowand pioned up the tliud, and I make no doubt was looking about for a knife just to cut all our throate. ‘Very likely,’ said the policeman.— ‘There’s some desperate bad characters about: Why, only last night as I was’ — ‘Hadn't you better make a thorough search for the wretch?’ here came in Aunt Jane. ‘He may have got urder the shed.’ ‘What shed, miss?” inquired the po» liceman, ‘Why, the tool-shed at the end of the garden, to be sure.’ Aunt Jane detests being called ‘Miss,’ aud can’t ‘abide a blockhead.’ ‘My dear Jane,’ interposed papa, ‘how conld this good man know that? If you will wait a minate, policeman, I'l! go and get on some clothes and come with you.’ ‘Very good, sir,’ said the policeman ; and up stairs papa came, looking more singular perhaps than ever he did in his lite before. His appearance, howeyer, being rather picturesque than elegant we will here draw a veil. No sooner was he in sight than mamma became hysterical. ‘Oh, Hotspur,’ cried she, ‘the silver!’ and fell back on my shoulder with such weight that I took op a sitting position on the floor. ‘Jane,’ called papa, ‘come and see to these two foolish creatures. Get up, you donkeys. Why, the fellows’g gone ! ‘Tbere’s nothing to be frightened at now. I and the policeman are going to scour the neighborhood.”’ ‘Help mamma,’ I panted; she is dying !’ ‘Indeed, Jane,’said mamma, ‘I knew it would come to tbat, sooner or later.’ ‘Well,’ said Aunt Jane, who had just made her appearance, ‘and what in the world is all this about? Just get up at once, Amelia!’ ‘Mamma’s bysterical,’ I said. ‘Has the man taken anything 1’ ‘We don’t know.’ ‘Bat the silver’s safe?’ “Yes,’ said papa; ‘at least it was five minutes ago.’ ‘Thank God!’ said my mother, and took a fresh lease of life. Much relieved, I sammoned courage to get a shawl anda pair of slippers, and ereep down stairs. The gas was lit in the passage and dining room. I could hear voices ir the kitchen. Afraid of the sound of my own feet even, I listened a little to asgure myself that no new alarm need be apprehended, and this was what I overheard : Policeman—‘There’s nothiag I admire more than spirit any where.’ Susannah—‘T don’t know much about spirit. I wish I knew what was come of that there latchkey. If that’s gone twill be a pretty job. Policeman+‘I suppose, now, you've got a fairish place j’ Susannah—‘T hat I ’ave.’ Policeman‘But you’re not the only one.’ Susannah—‘Bless you, no; there's Maria, she’s the ’ouse maid; and Jem, ’e cleans the knives and shoes.’ ‘Policeman—‘I see. Well, you're a wonderful good- plucked un, any’ow.— Blowed if I should ’ave cared to do what you did.’ Susannah—‘I dare say not. You didn’t seem in agreat ‘urry to come when I called you. I thought you’d ’ave jumped in at the window. You'd ’ave caught ‘im then.’ Policeman—Not I. ’E’s been at. this sort of game for the last seven years.-— That’s a nice’ — ° But here au eldritch screech rang through the house. It was I! Mouton, the eat, had taken advantage of my abstraction to mount the balusters and jump on to my shoulder.— The shock was terrific. I shock like a jelly. ‘Bless me!’ cried Aunt Jane, ‘What’s the matter now ?’ ‘I tell you,’ bawled papa, hurrying down,.on vengeance bent, ‘I won’t have such folly. Go offinto the dining,room and shut the door, or to bed, which you like; but—but behave yourself like a ra- tional creature, or not another new gown do you have for the next ten years. And now, policeman, to the chase.’ ‘Ido wish,’ said Susannah, as they set off, ‘that they’d ’ave let me go along with ’em. I’m sure I could get over the fences a vast deal casier than master, and as for seein’ in the dark’— ‘Oh no, Susannah,’ I said, ‘don’t you leave us on my account. What a mercy the man didn’t hurt you! Did you try to catch hold of him?’ ‘Lor, yes, miss; seized ’is coat, and tried to tear a bit out with all my might. I’d ’ave clawed his face weil, if he’d ats tempted to lay a finger on me; but when ’e looked that scared, the coward—well someblow, I couldu’t molest ’im. ‘No, to be sure not,’ said mamma, who had just ehivered berse'f down. ‘It is al! for the beet. Weought to be very thankful. . Anut Jane vowed that she'd buy a re- yolver to morrow, and practice shooting at a mark two hours every morniug, and —Susannah discovered that she knew the man as well as she new me. ‘Why, sir, said she washing her hande, when papa and the policeman had re- turued to.shake their heads and lament the usclessness of their endeavors (they had trampled down goodness knows how many cabbages, smashed a cucumber frame, and upset a bee hive—all belong ing to our vneighbcrs—to no earthly pur: pose) —why, sir said Susannah, ‘I’m most certain ’tis that man who used to work at Mason’s, the oil shop. ‘You don’t gay go! man—why, I thougbt he was uncle to the milkboy ! ‘So he is, sir, said the policeman. And that boy, sir, ’s nothing much to speak of. T hear that his master’s very doubtful of him. Weexpect to give him a night’s lodging before long. ‘Dear me, said mamma; ‘Why it seems that the air teema with thieves ! I shouln’t much care about the air, re- marked Aunt Jane; it’s the earth I’m concerned with. Whereupon we all felt bound to laugh; and the policeman, saying that we shouid ‘have some one down’ in the morning, backed out into the parsage to have a little private conversation with Susannah about the man who used to work at Ma- son’s the oil sn@p, and thence into the street. <A little while, and we were all ia bed again, and the house done us as tight as a dram or a sardine tin. To-day, from the first peep of dawn, i.é., ualf. past nine A.M, when I woke, till now, four o’clock in the afternoon, Susaunab has been ‘yiving particulars.’— First came two detectives, wonderful fine men both, she tella me, but the one with a Roman nose is most to lier taste; then the owners of the cabbages and the cu- cumber frame and bee hive, the latter a stout little old gentleman in black and a shovel bat, aud a tremendous passion. Papa went and had it oat with him; and having spluttered and blustered away till tiey were tired, they made it up, and finally sect off, arm io arm, to search for footsteps. One was found on an ash-heap, and immediately covered up with a basket, as if it was alive and would run away.— Since thten the bell and knocker have had a stiffish time of it. Jem, our boy, was given the first number of Funng Folks, and told to sit in the hall on pur- pose to play porter, Maria declaring that her legs would snap under her if she had much more running.

From anarticle in Appletons’ “American Clycopzedia,” revised edition, entitled “Christ- mas,” we select as follows; The common custom of decking the houses and churches at Christmas with evergreens is derived from ancient Druid practices. It was an old belief that sylvan spirits might flock to the evergreens, and remain unnipped by frost till a milder season. The holly, ivy, rosemary, bay, laurel, and mistletoe, furnished the favor- ite trimmings, which were not removed till Candlemas. In old church calendars Christ- maseveis marked, 7 exornantur (the temples are adorned). Holly and ivy still re- main in England the most esteemed Chriccaes evergreens, though at the two universities the windows of the college chapels are decked with Jaurel. It was anold English superstition, that on Christmas eve the oxen were always found on their knees, asig an attitude of devotion, and that after the change from old to new style, they continued to do this only on the eve of old Christmas day. This was derived froma preyalent medieval notion that an ox and an ass, which were present at the nativity, fell on their knees in a suppliant posture, as appears from numerous prints, and from the Latin of Sannazaro, in thesixteenth century. It was an ancient tradition, alladed to by Shakespeare, tha‘. midnight spirits forsaken the earth and to their own confines at the crowing of the coe The Christmas celebrations in England have lost their primitive boisterous character, the gambols and earols are mearly gone by, and family reunions snd_ev trimmings are neasly all that remajn of the varjous rough mesriments which used to mark the feftival.— the Jast memorable intment of a lord of ‘misrule was in 1627, when he had come, to be denominated ” “‘e grand captaine of F r NEW.

Undoubtedly the Republicans in carry- ing Ohio by a small majority bave im- arted new I:fe to their prospects In the Neaual election. A hope is born to then, and they are therefore jubilant and boast- fal. The greand of this confidence when examined carefully seems very slight and treacherous. In the figet place they bare- ly succeeded with the powerful assistance of the New York moneyed Dewocrats and of (Carl Scharz.. With all their sophistries, tatsehoods, bribesies and other disreputable agencies, by pandering to religious prejadice, ‘by arraying class against class aod nationality against na- tionality, they seraped together a bare majority. On other iasnes and when the parse-strings are shoitened, these ele- ments can no more be combined than oil and water. Mark the predictiou. With out such alliance as was effected on Tues day for a particular purpose aud by spe- cial agencies, the Democrats will carry Ohio, because the people there abominate the frauds and extravagauce, the shifiless- ness and utter-good-tor-nothingness of Grant’s administration. As in Ohio 80 in Pennsylvania there is a wholesome disgust of Republicariem as illustrated by Grant and hia satellites and retainers. These and other robust and honest Common-wealths if asked to endorse the party which bas sustained these men iv all their wicked practices will eharply and with sweeping indigna- tion decline to do so. ‘I'he proapect may not be withont clouds and the sun may not speedily shine with complete effulgence, but if the Conserva- tive hosts of the country will forget their Jate bickerings on the currency issue and will heartily unite in the common cause of aound and houest government November of Centennial year will not come without bringing with it healing for all wounds and peace and prosperity for the whole land — Wilmington Stur. <> Mob Law. One of the alarming features of the general demoralizaiion of the country, is the oniversal prevalence of mobocracy. Hardly a day. passes that, in some region, the papers do yot report a lynchitg, a mob hanging of a real or supposed crimi- pal. A half dozen cases have been re- rted in the last two weeks. Mob hang- ing for homicide, for ravishment, for horse- stealing; and iu one instance at least, as it has since been ascertained, for nothing —hung by mistake. The fact that the Jaws are slow and uncertain in their op- eration, ia bat slight mitigation of the crime of putting a human being to death without a shadow of legal process. Let the people educate themselves as to what ebanges and reforms are needed in the Jawa and their administration. Let them ceage to follow the blind Jeadings of cheap- jobn politicians and of their own fpreju- dices. Let them scourge all ignoramuses, a —=— § THE FAIR YESTERDAY, ~ eae ae min : a S avery partiqulat, the ‘Fair yestetday | Was a decided « wement on the day previows, Early in the morning articles fo exhibition com pouring in, ‘and a, day long the Secretary was kept busy with entries. THE CROWD, was decidedly larger, and the weather was bright, beautiful and balmy as spring. The different departments are now well filled, and so far as the exhi- bition is concerned, the Fair this year is a greater success than ever before. The time would fail us to tell of all the beautiful and useful articles in Floral Hall; of the hun- dred pound punkins, yard long beets, ele- gant redishes, potatoes, onions &c, &c., of the agricultural department ; or of the beau- tiful home-made carpets, wearable jeans, brooms, leather, shoes &c &c, of Mechanics Hall. Inall these the exhibition is unusal- ly fine—better than ever before. To “enum- crate the different articles on exhibition would be simply impossible, and we shall not attempt it. The races were spirited and witnessed with lively interest, but conduct- ed ina very quiet and orderly manner. There was no jockeying, no confusion, no loud cursing, no pullingand hauling. In the morning the live stock was led around the track, and made a very fine show both as to numbers and quality. The magnificent thorough-bred stallion ‘Iiderim,’ out of “Imported Australian,” entered by Maj. P. W. Hairston was the observed of all observers. He is the most beautiful horse we ever saw, Maj. Hairston enters 10 horses nearly all thorough-breds. During the day those stanuch farmers and progressive men, Messrs. Jno Dickey John- son, and John C. Milier, came in, and each made a large number of entries. several sew- ing Machines came in, and now the Weed, Remington, American, Howe and Florence are all presented by gentlemanly agents. The various kinds of machinery were kept in motion throughout the day, by the beau- tiful little engine, “Zclipse,” exhibited by Joshua Thomas Esq., of Baltimore. Mr. Thomas has contributed greatly toward making the Fair a success. and deserves the thanks and patronage of our citizens. Barkers buggies and Phixton’s, bright and shiney as a new beaver hat, were admired by everybody. An admirable contrivance for a new gate and fence, Buckman’s patent, was put on exhibition by Mr. J. H. Best of Statesville Farmers would do well to examine this, as well as the numerous other improvements, and labor-saying inventions to be seen on the grouncs, The world is moving, and here, better than almost anywhere else, is it’s progress excmplified. Clodfelter’s clegant home made Furniture surprises everybody. It can’t be beaten any- where. The new “Blacksmith Fan,” to take the place of the old-fashioned bellows,, took oureye. It’s a capital thing. When we wandered around to look at the great im- proved “Sweepstakes Separator,’ Buckey Mower and Reaper, Hall’s and Taylor’s Gins, Cider Mills, Corn Shellers, Cultivators, Cook’ Watt's, Thompson's, Meroney’s and other Plows, Power, Farmers Favorite Grain Drill’s &c, &c,, wondering like the old wo- man when she first saw a monkey, what folks would get to making next. We must not forget Watson’s broom’s, of which a fine lot was on exhibition. They are the best broms made. But when we get to particutarizing, we get -lost. Our mind wanders from the bright pictures, sparkling fountain and traffickers and idlers trom their legislatare |} gay em)roideries of Floral I[all to’ the lus- and judicial halls; and fill their places with wise and true men,—men enlighted as to the needs of the nation, appreciating its wrongs and determinee to reform them.—men who can neither be swayed by fear or favor,—on whose only aim is the public good, the welfare of their coan- trymen. Down with all whipper- snapper Jiticians, vote buyers and sellers, cor- raption dabblers and ring-rascal cats- paws; and give os law-makers and law~ administrators, whose wisdom and integri- ty, zeal, energy and promptness, sball fore- ever do away with the last shadow of excuse for the lawless mvub hangings which almost daily disgrace some portion of our Jaud, and are becoming one of the hideous blots xpon our American civiliza- tio 1.— Sentinel. ————----_— The N. C. Convention. We wish that we could give an unqual- tied ‘well dove” to all that the Conser- vatives did in the Convention. But a few showed great weakuess on the Tax Bonds. ‘The Legislature ought to have been empowered to repudiate the mon- etrous fiaud, The tax-payers expected it, and could be satisfied with nothing less than this. But tbere was an uonmanly equirming on the question. The vote was taken by aczlamation, so ae to dudve the Ayes and Noes. The friends of the bondholders did not wart to let the peo- ple kuow bow they voted. The Radicals were, of course, oa the side of the bondholders. While Radical leaders profees to be the peculiar and zealous friends of the “poor and power- less,” they do always uphold “the fexac- tions and expressions of the strong aud wealtby.””— Southern Home. -_ ~<a TRUE. {n an editorial discussing the defeat of Gov.

[New York Star.] See here, girls, this wont do. Those pretty stockings will play the Old Harry” with your legs, so take them off A high medical authority, in noticing the evil eflects of wearing colored bose, cites several instan- ces where the first symptoms were intense irritation in the skin of the feet, swelling aud an inflamed appearance; then an outbreak of watery blisters of all sizes. from groups of the size of hemp seed to siugle blisters® on the svle of the foot larger than a five-shilling piece. This eendition was accompanied by general feverighness, rigor, loss of appetite, and a sensation of prevailing malaise. Ina severe attack the patient was rarely able to walk for three weeks. and after one attack passed off it was often fulowed by another of the milder type. In one ease a gentleman was oblidged to wear cloth shoes for upward of eight months, and with other patients the system has been so impregnated with the poison that blisters have reappeared at in- tervals, not only on the feet, but on the hands. ears, &c., for more than three years. There was no donbtas to the cause and method of this blood-poisoning for the blis- tere first came in stripes corresponding to the colored stripes on the stockings, and the laundeess complained of the irritation and inflamed condition of their hands after wash- ing these poisonous articles. A Scotch lady who suffered from a like cause, brought a successful suit against the firm whieh sup- plied ber with the goods, and it was formal- ly announced by them that henceforth the use of arsenic in the composition of the dyes would be discuntinued. Although having no wish to appear as ‘‘alarinist,” yet it is evident that the oceasion is one calling fur watchful care on the part of both purchaser and manufacturer. As wo have suggested above, these facts are worthy of special con- | sideration at present, For, where the fash- ion of wearing striped stockings will, with- out doubt, soon be confined to gentlemen alone, yet the use by them of questionable. eolors may result in the disastroug effect to bollow., j abcae desexibed. ee nnecmmeneieeaaal aa There arg three ve rate the precincts of Windsor fores . 5 Royal - nv f félk, the Flemish and thé Priucé Consort's Shaw Farm, Most of the stock which bave been winning prizes at the recent agriculturrl shows are kept at. the first and eccond. Upon both of them a large amount of capital has been expended, and the money has-doubtiess been laid -out to: a good purpose,*for these farms must, to judge merely by what one sees, pay well. But the Queen’s favorite farm: ie that nearest the castle and called, as already mentioned, the Prince Consort’s Shaw Farm, consisting of about eleven handred acres, of which more than nine-teuths are in pasture, nearly all in a ring fence. This is one of the nicest holdings in the kingdom, and ia indeed, as perfect a spec- men of a grazing farm as avy one could wiah to see. The entrance to the home- stead 1s from the road leading to Old Windgor, about 200 yarde beyond where that,road crosses the Long Walk. Large sh@fis are now being sank all along this road in connection with the sewerage of Windsor out toafarm in the parish of Old Windsor about a mile and a_ half distant. The homestead itself is a very good one; the baliff's house ard a very pretty cottage now occupied by two «f the Queen’s gardeners are really model residences. The farm. building themselves have been erected with every regard to purpose for which they are needed, but it is a pity that in order to save appearances the cattle cheda*have such low roots. If they bad been two feet higher than’ they are, they would have been much more healthy, and eveu to thig ueizit the roofs or the buildings would not be seen from theeastle grounds. ‘The covered pens for harboring sheep daring the winter are open to the same objection; but in other respects they are perfect. ‘There is very little stock in the building atthe preseut time, and the foot and meuth disease has Leen so prevalent on the Prince Consort’: Shaw farm this summer that nothing has been shown from there. A short walk throngh the pastures at the back of Frog- more House takes one from the farm buil- dings tothe Royal dairy, which is it-elf worth a Visit when permission can be had. This dairy isa perfeet gem, and far sur passes anything which Marie Antoinette achieved at the Patti Trianon. ‘The may jolica and moszsaic of the walls, which are studded with medallions of the Q iesn, the Paiace Consort and their children, the double roof amd the three fold windows — the inner window being of stained gliss —* the milkpans in white aud gold, and th curious inlaid floor represeut a large sum of money. All the butter made there ip sent to the Isleof Wight daily, aud to Scotland three times. a week when the court is at Osborne or Balmoral, and, fruir and vegetables are always dispatched at the same time. ‘Ibe cows which supply this dairy stand iu a long range of stalls close by, and several of them also have been afflicted with the foot and mouth disease. ‘There are a few bulls atanding in these sheds, among them being two Swiss bulle presented to the Queen, a baffale and “King Koffee.” ‘Phe last aamed is an Aghautee bull, ecaresly as large as a goat, brought back from Coom- aseie, and he is only kept as a Curtority. Close to the dairy ia the poultry-houre, which contains sume very good gold and silver pheasants, gome Andalusian fowls, and a few of the old fashioned “Seotch greys.” in the ceater of this poultry-house, or aviary, is a little cottaze in which the | Queen used to come for her 5 v’elock tea, but since Frogmore has been empty, she hae no further use for it. In reference to the laborers employed on the farms, it may safely be said that they are very well cared for. When there were some sigus of discontent among the men employed on the Osborne estate, calculations were made as to the amount received by the Windsor men in movey payments, and at only fourteen shillings a week for ordina- ry laborers, it is estimated that, what with house rent, fuel, mak, and other advanta~ gea, their wages are equivalent to little less than £1 a week. Noris this all, for the bail:ff has a sort of a saving bank fand for the men who-learn to read and write, and some of them have done so well that they b&ve as much as €20 stand- ing to their credit. eee ee eee An Obtase Man.

The servant returned with them jet black. The anger of the mistress gavejway to laughter on re- membering that the maidj was a lady of color. Anna Connett, a pretty girl over in New Jersey, was acquitted of the charge of bur- glary, whereupon she threw her arms around the Judge’s neck and kissed him. And now all the married lawyers around Plain- field are candidates for Judge. An Englishman was boasting to a Yankee that they had a book in the British Museum which was once owned by Cicero. “Oh, that ain’t nothin’,’ retorted the Yankee: “in the muscum in Bosting they%e got the leadpencil that Noah used to check off the animals that went into the ark.” He was smokirg a cigar on acar where there were ladies. A lady took out her purse, got ten cents. and handed it to the smoker. “What's that for?’ said he. “It’s to buy von a good cizar when you smoke in the presence of ladies.” He threw the cigar out of the window, the scrap in the lady’s lap, jerked the strap, and jumped out. A colored man, who was lately resuscita- ted from what seemed death, but was only catalepsy, was entertaining his friends with the sights he beheld in the other world.— © Plenty colored bredren in Heaven, I spec, Tom.” “Oh, ves!” said Tom. “And how about hell—any down there?” asked anoth- er interlocutor, Oh, yes! massa, plenty of dem der too.” “Any white folks, Tom ?” “Lord save us, der ain't no end on ’em, but by gosh, massa, ebery white man done got a nigger holdin’ between hin and de fire!?

'a paragraph which read, ‘Was any one in Bridgeton eeen the sea serpent 1" and I have calicd to iufurm pou that I have seen it.” “Sit down, ‘Captain, and tell us all about i” “Certainly: Vl tell you what I saw; with my own eyes, and what four oiber gentlemen sav at the same time.” The Capain then said that) on the evening of Jaly 17, of the present yeas, | when off Piyiouth, aboot tit y mites from Boston, his attention was attracted to a | strange looking object ia the sea, about | half-rite distaut, whereapon he pro- | cared a spy glass, and sigiting through | it, saw what appearcd to be a huge snake | swimming rapidly towards the veseel.— At the same time, he called the attentiou of four other gentlemen, who gazed at the monster, Which at this time was ap parently about (wo hundred yards from for an airing. She was wheeling it up and down the walk when an oldish | man, very deaf, came along and in- | quired for a certain person supposed to live on that street. She nearly. yelled her head off trying to answer himand he looked around, caught’ sight of the baby, and said : | “Nice child, that. I suppose you feel proud of him ?” “It isn’t mine!” she yelled at him. “Boy, eh? Well, he looks just like you.” “Tt isn’t mine.” she yelled again, but he nodded his head and contin- ted: “Twins, eh? one ?” She started off withthe cab, but he followed and asked : “Did it die ofcolic ?” Despairing of making him under- stand by words of mouth, she pointed to the baby, at herself and then shook her head. “Yes—yes, I see—’tother twin in the house. ‘heir father is fond of them of course !”” She turned the cab and hurried the other way, but he followed and asked ; “Do they kick around much nights?” “T tell you ’taint mine!” she shout- ed, looking very red in the face. “T think you’re wrong there,” answered. “Children brought yp on the bot- ile are apt to pine and die.” She started on a run for the gate, but before she had opened it he came up and-asked : “Have to spank ’em once and awhie T' suppose ?” Where’s the other he She made about twenty gestures in| the vessel, swimming with considerable pace, on a straight course, and apparently pursuing seme larze fish, probably a aword fish, which was observed a short distance frum the serpent, and evidently inahorry, ‘The bead of the monster was raised at least ten feet above the ocean, but remained statiouary only a jmoment, a8 it was almost constantly in motion, now di-ing for a mement and as enddenly reappeariug to the same height. The Captain caleulated that it plunged down once every haif minute, and he saw it do this over a dozen times, as did also the oiler spectators. ‘The submarine leviathan was striped black and white, the stripes running lengthwaya, from the head to the tail. — The belly was almost white, and rounding and the head resembled that of a lizzard, ora bullfrog. The throat was pure white, and the head, which was extremes ly large, was full black, from which, just above the lizzard-shaped mouth, protru~ ded, an inch or more, a pair of deep black eyes, as large as ordinary saucers. The body was round, and as as large as a fish barrel. The Captain says that the serpent was over a 100 feet long. The motion of the fish was like that of a caterpillar, with this exception, that the head of the snake plunged under the wa- ter, whereas the head of the worm merely cruoks to the ground. During its pass- age toward the vessel, and as long as ihe wonster was in view, fbe water in its wake and around it was violently agitated, and every time it made a plunge, the water, or spray was thrown up qute high, probably six or eight fect. The serpent passed on and was lost in the ‘‘sun wake.” in this connection it is well to state that Captain Garton’s word is his bond, and that he is a gentleman of unimpeach- able veracity. ‘hat the sea serpent is a reality, and not a sailor’s yaro, is our firm belief.— Bridgeton Daily. id | Stock, hes enabled us to put in store au as CUUBD, a sz | WINTER GOODS HAVE COME.

Well. the big cireus came, and with it came a crowd. Before dawn they commen- ced pouring in, and by eleven o’cluek the streets were alive with a moving mass of humavity. Wesaw more five dollar °bills that morning, in the hands of persons who wanted change to go into the circus, than we supposed were inthe country. This and old Bill Allen’s defeat, have knocked all the inflation theory out of us, and left us a sad, hard movey man. We had a_ dead-bead ticket and we went to the cireus. We saw there a mixed and motley throng. The circus is a genuine Republican institution; it mixes and leads all ranks. They all sit on an equality. We saw there people who have been ow- ing us hard-worked-for money a long time. They can’t pay us butthey cau go to the circus. And yet they call themselves honest men! God help them! If there is any truth in Scripture, they are in dauger of hell-tire. This thought made us sad, and spoiled the effect of all the clowu’s wit upon us. The circus was a good one. better thau the average, and came very near showing one tenth of what the bills had promised. Every circus ought tu be indicted for lying and obtaining money under false pretenses. An actiou would hold good against any of them. A circus going through the State is as bad asa streak of the chuiera. They ought to be taxed at teast one thousand dol- lars in every county, and that would not inake amends fur the moral, physical aud ; | pecuniary damage they do.

About five years ago, William Russell, a farmer living a tew miles from Roseville, Pennsylvania was lefta widower with one child by the accidental death of his~ wife and a second child, then being thrown from @ wagon by a runaway horse. The care of the farmer’s house then devolved upon his daughter Harriet, aged | yeara. A girl named Marry Stokea, about, the same age, was employed to aid in the housebold work. This girl had lived in the house about eighteen months, when Miss Rassel discovered that her father was paying the attention of a lawer to the girl, and that a close intimacy ensued be- tween them. Naturally, shocked and indignant at this the farmer’s daughter dismissed the Stokes girl from her situation in the family. When Russell learned of this proceeding, be immediate~ ly bronghe the girl back, and told iis daughter she was to remain as she chose. ‘The daughter thereupon left the house, and went to work at sewing in the neigh- borhood. The affair created great acan- dal in the rural social circlea. Mary Stokes finally left Russell's and returned ome. <A few days afterward, Miss Ras- sul resumed her old poaition in her father’s house, and the scandal soon ceased to be the subject of gossip. MISS RUSSELL’S LOVER. Living in this village was a highly re- apected young carpenter named Horton Hurst. His father owned a farm adjoin- ing that of the Russells. Some years ago a difficulty arose between the two farmers about the preper location of a line fence. A long, bitrer and expensive law suit followed, Farmer Hurst was finally suc- ceseful in the suit, and died two years ago. Russell hated the name of Hurst, and when, some three years since, he made the discovery that his daughter and the son of the old enemy had formed an | attachment for each other, and were ac- tually engaged to be married, he threaten- ed to disown Harriet if she did not re- nounce the idea of wedding young Hurst. She made the sacrifice in obedience to her parent. When she left home an aceouut of the difference with her father aud Mary | Stokes, she and her old lover met «gain. and renewed the vows that had been broken.” ‘This did not come to the ear of her father until some months after her re- turn home. He then reiterated bia dis- she should never take the uame of Hurst so long as he lived. THE TWO WEDDINGS. About three months ago Rassell astound | ed his daughter by telling ber that he in- tended to soon marry the girl Mary Stokes, \ Harrict was firm in her opposition to the oid man’s folly, as she te:med it, aud ass | Feared him that whea be brought bts wife | from the house vever to return. The early part of laat week Rosesell made known to bis danghter that he was | to be married on the following Friday. | She made no reply, but went to work | perfecting arrangments that had beeu | pending between brereelf and Uaret for! some weeks, fi view of the marriage | of her father. Friday morning the old farmer, first telling Harriet that he would returu with his wife in the afternoon, drove | away toward the home of Mary Stokes. ‘The daughter plaecd the house in readi- ness for thé return of her tather, and about noon started for Roseville. She left behind her ou the burcan iu her room, the following letter addressed to her father: Dear FatuHer: I have always tricd ito be a dutiful daughterto you, bat the act you intend to do torday is more than I can submit to, aa I have wore than once told you. You choose a camanp- icn above me, I hope she will be ae true to you as I have been, and that you will both be happy. Do uot think that I am writing this with a light heart, although in leaving the home of my childhoed, I go to find a home with one I have long loved, and whose wife I expect to be ina tew hours. God bless you, father, and good-by. Your once loved daughter, ILarrre. Upon reaching the village Miss Rus- sell was met by Llorton Hurst. They pro- ceeded to the house of Mrs. William Filly, a sister of Hurst’s, and about 3 o’clock in tbe afteruoon were married by the Rev. Mr. Young, of the Methodist church. Afterwards they went in- coms pany with Mre, Filly and a young gen- tleman, a friend of Hurst's, to the village tivern, where it had been arranged to take diuaner. ‘They were nearly through the repast, which had been very litile the dinning room was burst in, and tarm- er Russell, pale with rage, and a singalar glitter in his eye, sprang inte the apart- ment. His daughter arose hastily and ran towards him with outstretched armes, but he threw her aside aud sprang upon her husband. , THE TRAGEDY. “You n—d scoundrel! he exclaimed. “You set my daughter to leave her home !” He grasped Hurst by the throat, bat the young man threw him off aud com~ menced backing towards the door. Rus- sell seized a knife from the table, and getting between Harst and the door, at-~ tempted to stab the young man. Hurst received the thrust in the arm, and seeing that the old man was bent ou murder, drew arevolver and told him to stand back. Russel did not heed the warn- ing, and continued to make deadly lunges with the kuife. Hurst reeeived many of these in his arm and shoulder. Hurst's sister escaped trom the room in the melee and the young men present seemed to be paralyzed with teror,—At last Harst pushed his assailant back from him, and leveled his pistol at him. Lia wife at this instant sprang between the two men just as her husband’s pistol was disebarged. The ball entered her brain and she fell to the floor and expired without saying a word. The report of the pistol brought a number of persons into the room. Haret had fallen on his knees by his wife’e |home he would find his daughter gone) os like a wedding feast, when the door of; Rassell seemed be to stricken dumb by the fearfal scene, and was led from the room like a child. : As soon as the excitement that follow- ed the news of the tragedy could be some- what allayed, the bodies of the young married couple were remeved to_ the resi- dent of Mr. Filley, followed by hundreds, of people. In the evening an inquest was héld by James Powell Justice of the peace. Rassell was arrested and held in $2,000 to wait the acton of the giand jary. A verdict that Mra. Harriet R. Hurst. met her death by the accidental discharge of a pistol, aud that Horton Hust came to his death by his own band while tempor- ily insane was rendered. —_—_——_-<or—___-— The Great Anti-Periodic. The certainty and promptitude with which Hostetter’s Stuinach Bitters conquer the most obstinate cases of malarial diseare, and the complete protection which they afford the system against the miasmatic poison whicb impregnates the air of low-lying, marshy lo- calities, stamp them as the foremost of Ameri- can anti-periodics Wherever on this conti- nent fever and ague Js a regular visitant—in the bottom lands of the South, the new clear- ings and inining districts ofthe West, and in all localities in the Eastern and Middle States where malaria prevails, the Bitters are recog nized as the only true specific for the disease, and its most reliable preventive. They are moreover, a safe and agreeable as well as a certain remedy, andon this accuunt are im- messurably superior to th® preparations of quinine, arsenic, bismuth, and othur wineral poisons mistakenly adininistered as curatives for maladies caused by miasma, aud which if persisted ja work irreparable injury to the con- stitution Unfortunately, fever and ague, and the other febriie complaints generated by miasma, are not tbe only evils which result from it. A great varie’y of disorders are superinduces by the iritation which it causes. Among these are neuralgia, rheumatism, gout pesiodidal headache. palpitation, painful affections of the spleen, and various derangements of the stom- ach. When traceable to malaria, the above affections are apt to assuine like the disease which originated them, an intermittent tpye; that is to say. they recur at regular intervals. Hostetter’s Bitters, however. obviates them all, by banishing the mias matic virus froin the system. GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER.

The greatest beanty was pat up first, and knocked off to the high- est bidder, then the next in order of come- Jinesss —and so on to the damsel who was equisdistant between beauty and piain- ness, who was given away gratis. Then the least plain was put up, and knocked -down to the gallant who would marry her for the smallest consideration,—and 80 on till even the plainest was got rid of to some cynical worthy who decidedly pre- ferred lucre to looks. By transferring to the scale of the ill favored the prices paid for the fair, beauty was made to cndow ugliness, and the rich man’s taste was the poor man’s gain. There never lived a woman in or outof Babylon whose beauty would command money enough to compensate a man for marryiug Susan. - The Human Hand as a Machine. The buman hand has been often examined asa curious and wonderful exhibition of skill and ingenuity, adopting it to its posi- tion upon the body, and enabling it to sup- ply the wants of the body. We propose to Jeave all such things to philosophy, where properly belongs, and examine the human hand merely as an implement for generating, orfusing, or transmitting power. Look at the almost infinite variety and ection of the work done by the human d. All other machines do but one thing —a sewing-machine does nothing but sew ; it does not knit, or spin, or weave; a print- ing-press only prints; it does not fold, or bind the papers or books; a plough does not plant, or reap, or thrash out, or trans- port, the grain. And the same is true of every other machine, except one. They never do but one thing unless two distinct machines .are joined for a double purpose, and then they are really two machines. But the hu- man hand does many things, and does all eaves hee . cals, it hammers, it saws, 3 plaines, it polishes, it paints, it grinds, it bores, it drills, mortses, Ai carves, it ceararedl it pulls, it pushes, it rows, it swims, it digs, ft prints, and thrashes, and winno and ranks, and carries, and molds, and bakes; t sews, and knits, and weaves, and sweeps, and washes— indeed, will not some one ren- der this long and enumeration unnecessary by just naming some one thing which has not done in al} lists of human industries—and done well? And when it has done all this and more, it pe to work and constructs a separate machine for doing each piece of its own work, and for doing 1t more rapidly, and, perhaps, more accurately, and then rest while its own work goes endlessly on- ward. Here, then, is a little machine, minu- test of all among the great powers on which ne ‘ nt” was ever ted—the oldest, the simplest, the most fective of all—show- a — shill = ger ae and Son an any atoers, yet, smong the catalogues of the great mechanical forces, a Vicksburg grocery clegk procured a piece of sole leather from & auete black and few days sa old country came in and inguired for a pivg of chewing tobacco. was tied up, , started for home.” At'the'end of the ‘sixth day he returbed, looking downcast and de- jected, and walking into the store he inquir- Jed of the clerk :,. , other day ?” handy on bittin’ plug.

In the Convention, Saturday, the ordi- nance reported by Mr. Shepherd, Chair- man of the Committee on Municipal Cor- porations, paseed its third reading. ‘I'bis isa most exccllent ordinance and as adopted reads as follows : “The General Assembly shall have tull power by statute to modify, change or abrogate any and all of the provisions of this article, (that is article eeven,) and substitute others in their place except rections seven, nine and thirteen.” his ordinance will in effect enable the General Aesembly to have fall contro} over county, city and town govern. ernments, and to provide, if it may deem proper, for the election of Justices of the Peace by the Legislature. ‘Ihe Raleigh News says of it: “The great want of 50,000 white voters of the negro eection of the State has beea obtained in this provision, and this the Conservative of the party of the State has only to endorse tbia Constitution and elect a Democratic Legislature to give to the people of North Carolina a relief frum the grevious ills under which they have been groaning since the adoption of the Canby bayonet Constitution.” — Charlotte Obser- ver. a There is a funny side to even so sad acasc as the abduction of Charley Ross. The father of the lost boy tells the sto- ry to a reporter of the Philadelphia Times. While in Canada, recently, he saw a circular of a circus manager, announcing wax figures of the Ross family, together withan offer from him of a reward of $2,000 for the recovery of the boy. Mr. Ross went to the circus and saw figures of himself and wife, and Charley, none of which bore the least resemblane to the originals. Without making himself known he talked with the exhibitor, who told him he was a frequent visitor to the Ross household, and that all the fig- ures were strikingly accurate likeness- es. When Mr. Ross made himself known the man was dumbfounded for a moment, but immediately expressed his deep sympathy, declaring his will- ingness to pay the $2,000 reward, and oftered, in case the boy was found, to give the father $1,000 a week, for 30 new for the privilege of exhibiting im. —~o—-——- Wuat SAVAGES THINK oF Twrxs.—In Africa according to Dr. Robert Brown, [Races of Mankind,”) the birth of twins is commonly regarded as an evil omen. No one, except the twins themselves and their nearest relatives is allowed to enter the hut in which they first saw the light. The children, and even the utensils of the hut are not permitted to be used by any one else. The mother is not allowed to talk to any one not belonging to her own family. If the children live till the end of the sixth year, it is supposed that Nature has accom- modated herself to their existence, and they are thenceforth admitted to association with their fellows. Nor is this abomination. of twin births restricted to Africa. In Island of Bali, near Java, a woman who is so un- fortunate as to bear twins is obliged, along with her husband, to live for a month at the seashore or among the tombs until she is purified. The Khasias of Hindostan consider that to have twins assimilates the mother to the lower animals, and one of them is frequently put to death. An exact- ly similar belief prevails among some of the native tribes of Vancouver Island. Among the Ainos one of the twins is always killed, and in Arebo, in Guinea, both the twins and the mother are put to death. —_—__+e A divorced couple remarried lately in Maine.

In speaking of the yonng men of the truthful words : “Bat what shall we say of the young men?. Some of them are talented, mettle- some, highspirited lads, who feel that they cannot work, and beg, it is a shame, and so they sit down and do nothing. They dream away the active period of life. Fortunately, there are others who have a more practical turn, and not rest until they find something todo, They start out with determination to find some occupation, and every youth who does that will succeed sooner oF lat- ter. One thing is certain, if the broken down families of Virgieia, and indeed of the whole South are ever to be recuited and re- stored, that result is to be brought about by the industry of the young—those from fif- teen to thirty. Tyey can do this if they will, and most surely they could be no high- er duty.” To which the Chronicle adds: Never were truer words uttered by tongue or pen. They should be read by every young. man in the land. They should be cliped out and posted up where they could be read daily. What the South needs to-day is an indus- trial revolution among its young men. It may be difficult for the old, or those advan- ced in years, whose lives have been mould- ed in the school of slavery, to change their habits of dependence t®one of personal in- dustry—to hold the plow, drive the team, swing the axe, push the plane, handle the trowel, enter the workshop and store—in a word, to depend upon their own labors when unable to employ the efforts of others. They can, however, do something in this direction, all though the change requires & by a few in the declinging years of lite. ——_—_—~ao—___—_— ‘A Sandy Hook Love Story. ‘The Commercial Advertiser tells an interesting &tory in relation to the old Water Witch house on the highlands of Neversiuk, near Sandy Hook, which was burned on Saturday laet—a mansion that ig mentioned by Fenimore Cooper in the well known novel, “The Watec Witch.” The Commercial says : The site wad on the bluff that faces the Raritan bay and at the entrance to the Shrewsbery river. It was originally pur- purchased by Hartshorne from: tbe Indians and many years after was auld to Nimrod Woodward, at whose death it passed to hia gon Edward. It was then purchased by a Dr, Stewart, a batchelor, who lived there in seclusion. A stange story is told of this hermit. After he left college he fell in love with a beautiful young lady, and aa a consequence Was engaged to be married to her. She was stricken down and died, which so overcome his nature that the world and society had no further charm, aud being a man of wealth he buried himself in this lonely retreat to brood over his irreparable loes. His mind wandered and he was’ frequently seen carrying au anatomical skeleton which be seemed to believe was the im. age of his lostone. Death soon came, leaving only a surviving brother and pis- ter, whereupon his effects were sold. A pbysician bought the skeleton he had 80 long cherished, and upon examiaing ‘the bones there was found stuffed into the eyeless sockets and interstices of the skull a large amount in bank notes, which were returned to the family. —_———_ oo" Plain Figures.

Editor Prepsionr PREss, Dear Str:—I have no donbt but that your readers would be pleased to hear from this part of the United States. I send you a letter which you can prblish if you like. ‘The Bank of California, which was suspended some time aince, will open again to-mov row (Oct. 1,). ‘The people have great deal of confidence in it, notwithstanding the ‘Lo show you the confidence that is placed in it I will copy the words of Scnator Sharon at a meeting of the Board of rus tees of the Bank of Califoraia yesverdry : — Gentlemen, I have heretofore stated that Iam willing to bring balf my for- tune iato the Bank of California, I have taken steps to make good that promise, and as speedily as the necessary arrange~ ments ean be made IT shall place $7,590, - That promise, coming from a man whore word ia his bond, determines a great fature for the Bank of California. I have no doubt but that the peorle of the East think the late President, W. C. Rals- ton, was aswindler and that he committed euicide, but such is not the case in San Franciaco ; although several of the lead- ing papers have defamed his name. (1 have no doubt buat that they will be puniebed for it.) He was well thought of here. Oa Wednesday, Oct. 6th, the countless friends of the Jate W. C. Ralston will hold a meeting at Union Jfall, in order to determine what steps shall be taken to confute the elandera cast upon the fair fame of the dead public benefactor, and at the same time punieh his foul defamers. Every man with the heart of a man beat- ing ir his breast will attend the meeting, and show that poor Ralston, though gone, ia not friendless. Speaking of the bank, there ia one thing remarkable, and that is, not a single, mercantile failure has yet occurred in all this monetary panic.—The stock brokers also hold their own surprisingly well. No paper has yet gone to protest. This shows the soundness of business men upon this coast. Emigrants arrive here daily, and are leavir.g nearly as fast, those who are able. ‘They are disappoined at not finding gold growing on trees a8 they expected. I would say to all those who have any no-~ tion of coming to California to not come without a gcol trade. If you ere a good carpenter, blacksmith, plasterer, bricklay- er, &c., you can readily get from $3 to $4 per day, but it is surprising to sec the thousands of young men whio come to this Btate having no trades at all, and there are, I will assert, one thousand young men here idle. If aman wants to wait in a restaurant, saloon or hotel, he can no doubt get a place at $3 to $60 per month. It ia quite different here to tbat in the East ; a driver stands as high in soeicty here aa the one he drives, for there are no negroes to do the work, and white men do it, except washing, which the china- men have full charge of, and to do them justice, they are the finest workmen tbe world ever knew. There ia hardly any such thing as re- ligion in California. ‘There are upwards ot one hundred churches in this city, but are rarely ever atteuded, and you can’t find one man out of a hundred that can tell a stranger where they are. Sunday ia the beat day in the whole week for trade, the places of public amusement are crowded on Sunday, the theatres are bet- ter patronized on Sundsy night than any other. Bar roome and the majority of tbe stores never think about shutting up on Sunday. A great many of the people spend it in fishing and hunting. [ dm not a religious man, wish I was, but I can say it was a relief for me to get inside of achureh on Sunday, There are men who have their regular place to preach in jhe streets on Sunday.—In one street you can see a large crowd, and on going pear you will find a man trying to prove there is no God. Go on a street farther aod you will zee a man trying to prove there is no bell, and no soul in a man, and so on all over the city. Patent medicine men also join in with the others, and Temperance lecturers, and here they have it. ‘This is the way San- day iskeptin the Western metropolis. ‘lhe ladies are all hearty and well made (apparently), but it is very seldom you tind one that is really refined and modest, or that will not ge to the theatre on Sun- day. Fast! didI say ? Well just come and see for yourself. No more at pres- ent.— Piedmont Press. HB, —_———-a-—__ THE CONVENTOIN’S WORK. COMMENTS OF THE STATE PREE UPON IT. The Winston Sentinel, of Oct. 21, thus nails the lie the Radicals told about the cost of the convention : The convention will cost aboat $31,000, which amount will be more than saved in one year by reducing the pay of mem- bers of the legislature and limiting the length of the session. The Radicals during the campaign declared it would cost at least $309,000, and probably $500,000. But this is as uear the trath as they generally come. The Charlotte Observer, of October 21, wanta the amendments property explain- ed to the people, and has thia to say on the subject : “I. ig very easy to see that the falling off in the Demoeratic vote in this state in Auguat last was due to the want of in- formation among the white people as to the issues involved. Long before the Democratic piess became aroused the Radical press had thundered into the ears of the masscs a perfect cylone of misrep- resentation and falsehood, which the ma- jority never beard corrected, as it was noticeable that not ona haif the white voters turned out at the discussions. Our party should not be caught uvapping til] too late another time. We hope every Democrat who fecls an interest in the success of his party will, now while the subject is fresh, take the trouble to gee that the ameudments passed by the late convention are thoruughly understood by the whole people. All the amendments are a popular charactet and only need to be understood to be adopted. Let every intelligent, reading Democratic see that lis less intelligent neighbors thoroughly understand the amendments now, and there will be no trouble about their adop tien a year hence.” <a SCHROEDER'S AIRSHIP. To New York in Three Hours. {Baltimore Gazette, 19th.] , ee A number of persons yesterday visited the intersection of Boundary and Madison avenues to see Professor Schroeder's steerable air-ship, with which he proposes ito visit different portions of the United | States and the Old World, and he ex- | plained to all the various sections and ; workings of the machine. ‘Ihe ladies i geemed to be particularly interested, and ‘told the Professor “they would so love to ‘take a trip beyond the clouds in. his air- | ship.” He said to them that he never ‘invited any one to make an ascension for the reason that when they made one tip ‘they always wished to go again. A vumber of applicatious have been , received to take passage in the air-ship, ‘and among them the application of Pro- i feagor Wise, the wronaut, who with Pro- fessor Schroeder, is sanguine of tbe suc- | C€BB of the enterprise and a safe voyage ‘across the Atlantic. Schroeder says he bas expended years of study and large gums ct money upon the invention and its ‘final completion, and many promineat ‘ scientiste, and especially those of Europe, believe that all that is expected of the ship will be realized. In 1872 Schroeder etates that he made ‘an ascension with a emailer machine, aimilarly constructed, from Brazil. Yesterday was the first day that an exhibition was given of the ship portion of the balloon, the propellers, &c. It is constructed of wire about three-six-teenths ‘of an ineb in diameter, is eighty-five feet ‘in length, nine feet high, and eight feet _wide. Its lifting capacity will be for ten ' tone. The balloon portion of the air-ship, ; which has not yet been adjusted, will be i pixty five feet high, eighty-tive feet in circumference, aud sixty-five in diameter. It is conatrucied of eighteen hundred yarde (three cases) of cambric, from which one thousand four bundred and uinety-six ropes will depend, and hold the ship. be pushing and palling propellers to be attached to the bow and astern of the ship are ten feet long and three and a half feet in height. ‘hese propellers will be covered With canvas, a8 also the sides and top of the ehip. The ship will be the balloon portion and steering apparatus will be completed about the first of November, proximo, when Professor Schroeder will uudertake daily ageensions from the Hippodrome lot. The ship is to be worked by a crew of eight men, aud Schroeder saye he cau readily ateer it through the changing cur- renta of the air as well as @ mariner does bis vessel upoa the ocean. About the 81h of November lie expecta to atart upon hie first trip, which will be from Baltimore to New York, a distance of two hundred miles, which he thiuke he will make io three hours. He has, he says, made seventy-four miles au hour in a balloon. The air-ship will be exhibited in New York, Washington, and other cities in the Union, and the venture will not be until ihe epring of 1876. The ship was chriatened a few evenings since hat a meeting of the stockbolders the “City of Baltimore,” A Painful Scene and a Touching , Confession. In the Marora (Il!.) News of the 25th of September is an account of the resigs nation of Elder J. V. Beekman as pastor of a church in that village. For some time past the reverened gentleman’s hab- its have been such as to eause great grief to his friends and bring reproach upon the Charch. At the clogé of the sermon which was preached by a neighboring pastor, Elder Beekman made the follow- ing address, which we give as a warning to all men, both young and ald, to avoid the ein and shame which have come apon this man: ee As aman I have the highest conception as to what the life and gharacter of a min- ister of the gospel sho ‘that he shoutd-ftead'a® right life that can be looked to by the community as an example of purity aud righteousness. Knowing that my life has not been such jn all respects, I desire to tender to this church, for which I have labored so long, my resiguation. You are aware that | refer to my sin of intemperance. This may be my last op- portunity of addressing you, and I want to ask you that you will not charge this great ehame to tue religion of Chriet. It teaches better things. Charge it all -to my own depravity and sinful nature. To you who have not this habit it is strange that I should thus yield to temptation, I well remember the time when I thought it strange that othera drank and ruined themselves with alcohol. I am glad that there are 80 many young men here this morning that I may lift: my voice in warning and beg them to profit bygmy example. You think now that you are strong and in no davger. I well remewber the time when I believed the aame. ‘I'welve years ago, when I reachs ed forth my inexperienced hand-and took the intoxicating cup, I thounht IT was strong; but I developed a habit that now holds me in chains, aud in the moet awful slavery that humanity wag ever subjected to. It holds mein its embrace when I acek my bed for repose; it disturbs my dreams during the weary honrs of night and seizes we as its prey when I rise up in the morning to enter upon the duties of the day. Profit, oh! profit, by my example. See what it has done forme. Where was a time when I stood as fair as any minis- ter of the Church in Illincis; there was a time when I bad as bright prospects and av cheering hopes for the future as any of my clissunates. But now they are ail gone because of intemperance. O! that [ could brieg the whole world to hear my warning voice. Young ladies, you ean do wuch to rcmove this curse from the world by not countenanciag ita use among your comp wilois Bietbren, I sever my connection with you as your pastor with a sad heart, I: would be sad upon the most favorable circumstances, but much more so as it is. Bat I shall remain with you in the chureh and labor in the community for a liveli- hood; I will come to your sucial meetings and work with you iu the Sunday school, aud will do all I can to aione for the great sin I have committed. God knows [ do not wih to injure His eanse. Pray for me that 1 may yet over. come this besetting sin. I trust that I may be able to couquer. But shall [go down under the withering influence, f ask. that you remember me kindly. Wher. ever you meet me and under what cir- cumstances, remember there was a time when you were proud of me. But treat me as you may, act towards me ag you choose, I beg that you will remember my wife kindly. Do not give her pain and sorrow beeause of my wreng doing. Poor woman, she bas always suffered enough. I married her a sweet and innocent girl. She bas been a patient and faithful wife. Again I ask that you will kindly remem- ber wy wife and children. a q Shocking Ordeal for a Young Factory Girl. On Thursday last, at Remington sta- tion, on the Cineinnattiand Marietta Rail- road, Carrie Daweon, employed in a paper will, while standing uear a revolviug ehaft, was caught by ber hair and the scalp torn from her head, stripping the akin from the back of ber neck to the eyebrows. A considerable time elapsed before medical aid reached ber, and it was not decmed advisable to attempt to restore the lifeless ecalp to its former place. ‘L'o-day, Dr. A. J. Howe, of Cin~ cinnatti, commeuced the reetoration of ekin to the wounded girl’s Lead by taking a small piece of scalp from the bead of her aieter, who gave herself freely for ber injured sister’s relief, while auother lady offered skiu from Ler own shoulders to supply what was uecded for the forehead. Supplies sufficient to start a growth of new membraue were taken from each of these ladies, and while Mrs. Dawson’e condition ia dangerous, her physician ens tertaiue considerable hope of her recovery and the auccess of bia effort to cover her head with uew ekin. ‘ Fable of Discontentment. A canary and a gold-fish had their lot thrown together in the same room. One hot day the master of the huuse beard the fish complaining of Lis dumb condition, and envying the sweet voice of bis com panion overhead. ‘Ob! 1 wish I could sing aa swectly as my friend up there!” whilat the canary was eyeing the inhabi- tant of the globe. ‘How cool it looks! I wish my lot was there!” “So, then, it shall be,’”’ said the master, and forthwith placed the fish in the air and the bird in the water; whereupon they saw their folly, and repented of their disconteat. Of which the moral is sooner drawn than practised—let every man be content iu the state in which providence has placed him, and believe that it is what is best fitted for him. be, I know PREMIUM LIST.

The Supreme Court of the United States hos decided that the various Na- tional Banks throughout the country are subject only to the penalty prescribed by the National Bank Act, and are not sub- Ject to those imposed by State laws. Our present State usury law imposes penalties on all banks and individuals alike that may be caught violating the Jaw. Butif Natronal Banks, so-called, ean not be interfered with or punished by | State law and usury, the people should see to it, excessive | that for extortion the National law be enforced rigidly. The Raleigh News in refering to this matier suye: The decision of the U. S. Supreme Court, which is not an unexpected Inter pretation of the law, will have the effect) of giving to National Banks in this State a monopoly of the business of money- lending. The provisions of our usury law, with ita tremendous penalties, are not applica- ble to loans made by them. ‘The mild penalry iutlicted by the National Bank Act has never bad the effect of restricting them to the rate of interest preacribed by the varicus State Legislatures, and so the Banks will have a monopoly. Individus ala will prefer to place their money in the Banks, 28 a safcrinvestment than loans toothers, and the Banks will loan it out to needy borrowers at such rates as they may choose to ask, ‘This is the evil that should have been guarded against by the firmers of the law and that will need cor- rection at the hands of the Legislature of 1876-’7. We can’tunderstand why “individuals will prefer to place their money in the Banks, Strange position the Nets takes. (National, so-called, of course) as a safer investment than to others.’ It they do, it is simply because they do not and unreliable loans underatand how rotten y ayer: State Fair at Raleigh, the the Sentinel suggests that the Editor of the Democrat be made a Vice-President of the State Society and also Chairman of several Committees. In reply, we can say that forthe past 18 years we have urged.our people to aitend the State Fair but refused to serve the Society in any official capacity in any way, always urg- ing the appointment of practical farmers on Committees or as Officers. By the by, the recent election of Officers of the State Agricultural Society shows that-the Western counties bave been ignored, as usual, ia the selection of Of- ficers. We again say, that is bad policy, and will not tend much towards promot- ing exbibitions at Raleigh and interesting the people of all portions of the State in the State Fair. We have always been a friend-of the annual Agricultural exbibi- tions at Raleigh, and vo improper motive can be truthfully attributed to us in re- gard to anything we say about the man- agement of the Stato Society. (ce Col. Thos. M. Holt, the President of the North Carolina Agricultural Socie-~ ty, was presented with a bundsome gold~ headed cane in Raleigh last week, by citizens of the State, in token of his efforts to promote the interests of the State Agri- cultural Society. Col. Holt, by hia dis- interested efforts and hard wok, deserves such a compliment. It is a matter of but little consequence wheiher there are any officers selected from this part of the State or not now, since the people of the West hereafter will send their articles and pay their visits to the Salisbury fair. WESTERN N. 0. RAILROAD. At a meeting of che Commissioners or Directors of the Western N. C. Road was held at Salisbary on the 18th iret. The Directors of the Road us now constituted Barke, W. W.

By authority of the Act of the Legislature the above named gentlemen bave charge of the Road from Salisbury to Asheville, and the completion of the game. At the meeting last week Mr. Thos. H. Allen, of this city, was elected Chief En» gieneer of the Road. | Capt. F. M. Wooten (the well-known Conductor and Express man on th » Caro- lina Central) was granted permission to operate his Express business on the West- ern Road to Asheville—thus making Wooten’s Express a continuous route from Wilmington, via Charlotte and States- ville, to Asheville. te We see it stated that Mr. A.

Raczicn, N. C., Oct. 12, 1875. It may scem early for a delegate to propose an amendment to the Constita- |tion the day after the adjournment of a Conatitution:] Convention, ‘The tollow- ing Ordinance was voted down repeated- ly by the Convention, while three-fourths of the members, of both parties continual- ly declared they would not pay the debt : “The General Assembly shall not levy any tax or raise any mouey to pay the interest or principal of any of the bonds issued in aid of avy railroad corporation, or to purebase a site for a Penitentiary on Deep River, in Chatham county, under the authority of the Constitutional Con vention, held in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixtyreight, or of the General Assembly for the year one thans- and and sixty-nine, unless the act makiag ihe levy or raising the money be first submitted to a direct vote of the people of the State, and be approved by a majority of those who shall vote thereon. I propose to the people that the next election, they vote for members to the Legislature who will pledge themselves to bave the above rejected Ordinance in- serted in the Constitution by Legislative Evactmvnt. JosIad TURNER. Ee Liebig’s Great Discovery. Under Liebig’s direction, a patient and these so called National Banke are. Why there ig no seeurity for money deposited | fnthem. The managers may squander, @ppropriate or steal it, and what relief, | what redress bas the dopositor? Absolute | ly none. Underthe present oppressive | and swindling aystem of vo-called Nation- al Banks almost anybody can become the manager of one. It don’t require much money. The fair seeming man of the| wrrld who has swindled every body and gained popularity and a name tor honest ty by doing it, if he can raise or borrow ten thousand dollara and belongs to the! ring, he can get enough moucy on depos- it to secure a license aud a charter to run a shaving machine, misealled a Bauk. The larger number of Banks, ander the present system, now doing business, 4s run on moncy deposits, there being but little money invested by, and no respon- eibitity attached to those managiag or runnmg the Bauk. If cewspapers would devote more time to exposing the rotiens ness of the National Backing System, and Jezs in bolstering up the vile schemes of the money ringe, there would be less bank failures and less money lost by depositors. The rings, the etock-jobbers and brokers are thoae who are most clarimorons for a repeal of the usury law. the parties who ere making their jacks out of the labor ot the country. They are| totally irresponsible, and yet the govern- They are rea) moneyed men of the Jand are reaping dat six or eight per cent. on thfer capital there fellows are using: #- aad wxasting fen “needy borrowers" usurious + ates. i vigorous staff of assistants made countless experiments in nearly every acceasible | part of the globe, and aualyzed with the } utmost care the ashes of many thousand different plants. The uuanimous result of-their investigation proved, to a certain- ty, the natural coherance between veges table life and inorganic matter; they show- ed that every plant of the same kind, whatever maybe the substance and the composition of its soil, receives the same oineral ingredients into its frame, and canyot live and grow in a place which ir entirely deyoid uf minerals necessary to its esistence. To cite but onc example, the tobacco plant chiefly withdraws lime from the darth, under every zone and in every climate; its cultivation, iu a acil absolutely deprived of that mineral, is siwply impossible, however liberally the other conditions of its existence may be provided for. These resulta plainly show tog the error which former ages bad com- mitted when neglecting and denying the importance of mineral ingredients in veg, etable substances, naturally led to a divis- ion of plants into several classes, each of which roceived the name of its principal mineral ingrediente; regardless of boton- ical denominations, they were divided into a few simple classes, according to their predominant contents of lime, kali, aili- cious earth, etc. Thus Liebig’s doctarine concerning the influence of mineral matter npon vegetable jife was firmly eriablishb- ed. ——__+@>-—____ Gov. Hendricks, of Indiana, is credited with eaying, on bearing from Ohio: “I’m not surprised ; I told yoa we should be defeated. On a different. platform we should have sueeeeded. ‘Had the Dem- ocrats declated themselves for epecie ‘payments tobe accomplished gradually, and without contracting the currency at present outstanding, they’ would have rolled ap a larger majority than they did in 1874.” a ee are W.S, Pearson and S. McD. Tate of b at LzLc U C 0 *Y GGan Franciso#Call: Fs “Pboee Welio have ed the reckless- ness with which numerous firing parties have conducted their rifle matches have, for-some time past, dreaded the occurrence of an accident, In many instances the severe rules established by competent, authorities for the ‘protection of -markers have been. entirely ignored, and yesterday the failure to obserye the simplest of these rales resulted in the sad- killing of a ree- pected citizen named William Lee. ; He was shot through the breast, it appears, as he was in the act of emerging trom his trench. He had no red danger flag to wave before leaving his shelter thereby warning the firing party of his approach go that they could cease firing, The result was that the man why was in the act of aiming at the fatal moment had no intimation of the appearauee of the unfortunate marker, and did not even know that his bullet was a messenger 0 death until it had speeded on its fatal course. So sudden waa the shocking casualty that the companions of the dead marker were not aware of what had hap- pened until they saw the diseased lying on the ground. - The Money Issue Saved Allen from Overwhelming Defeat. [Richmoud Dispatch. J The man who supposes that the Ohio election was lost on the anti resumption question is greatly in error. Hayes’s majority in the State ia less than hie ma- jority in Cuyahoga county. So that that county controlled the State.” Perhaps our idea of the fact of the case—and as is evidenced by the extracts we published last week from Ohio papers—may be most clearly stated in the general propo- sition that if the Republicans had had the Democratic platform on the currency question, and the Democrats the Repub- lican platform on that question, Hfayes’s majority would have been forty thousand. The currency question, in other words saved Allen from overwhelming defeat. Nothing clae prevented the fight from being solely upon the Geghan law, and the public schools, and the Pope, and all gorta of questions of similar import. Upon theee issues Allen would have been buried beneath an overwhelming majority. But wisely he kept the currency question above all othera, and so gaved himself from a disgraceful defeat. Subatantially the victory is with bim on that question. He waa beaten on other issues. <> ABigamist Flees and is Struck Down in His Shelter by Light. ning. : Au Edanton correspondent of the Portsmouth Enterprise communicates the following : About the last of July the Sneriff of our county arrested one Anerson Bond (colored) indicted for bigamy, the sheriff willing to give him an opportunity to give bond for lis appearance at court, placed him in the hands of a deputy, from which officer the prisoner escaped. Nothing more was heard of him until this morning, when being one of a jury of inquest I learned the following facts: The negro on making his escape wert tome, and told his wife to prepare his clothes as he was going away, and would call for them that night or early next mor- ning. te never called. A heavy rain and tbunder storm cameup that evening, and he tock ehcelter ina hollow tree, which was shattered by lightning, and there his remains were found.” The jury’s verdici was in accordance with the facts above. A Sad Accident by Which A Young Man Lost his Life. On Friday the Sth inst., about twenty 4 miles below Mount Airy, Peter S. Bow- man, a young man, about 25 years of age, was instantly killed, by getting bis neck broke. The particulars are ae fol lows: On the day above mentioned, in com- pany with hia brother, he started, on foot to a catop-mecting that was in progress about Vriendship. While on their way, they came up with a fourshorse wagon and team loaded with Jumber, and which was going in the same direction they were, aud they had an opportunity of riding. So Peter mounted one of the horeea with the intention of driving a short distance, however, in descending a slaut, the lumber slipped forward againat the horses and atarted them out at a lively pace. By some meaus Peter became entangled in the harness and pitched head foremoet between the horses. The team was atopped as quickly as possible, and his brother and criver ran back to agcer- tain if he waa badly injured, when they dhacovered that hia neck was broken and Peter was dead. ‘This iw certainly a very sad affair, and should be a lasting reminder to ua all that life is uncertain and that death is sure.—Surrry Visitor. A Discouraged Editor. [fairpiay (Gol) Sentinel.] He was a aad-eyed, meek-faced man, and we supposed he merely wished to give us a news iiem; but when he com meneed telling na about building a barn on bias ranch 190 by 280 feet, seven stories high and ornamented with bay windows, we thought it was time to check Lim, and so we commenced : . “Well, we must admit that that ia a pretty large barn for this couutry, but back in the States our father built a barn 325 by 500 feet, nine stories TES and furnished with steam elevators; the—’ ‘ “Back in the States,’’ interrupted our liatener, “why that wasn’t much of a barn for the States. I remember now that when I was quite young my father built a chicken coop 550 by 832 feet. I don’t recollect how many atoriea it was high, but I kuow there was a cupola on ‘it for the roosters.”’ “About how bigh was that eupola?” we asked. “I don’t know the exact height now, mister, but I know it was so high that the fourteen upper tiers of roosters died from ihe effects of the light atmosphere the first night.””, a Then we went out and sat down ou the woadpile, and wondered why some- body was always outstripping us ig the Jrace of lite, of a daily Chi durnal. evte bis balloon We e grave; che terrible tradegy has bat lately been revealed in all its horrors to the Prof. Donaldson bas ‘been prominently before the people as one of the most dar- ing and accomplished ‘balloon voyagers in the werld. Gar readers will remember hia proposed journey to Europe in the big Graphie balloon last year.» One day last sammer the Prof. started for a yoyage across lake Michigan. A poor devil of a newspaper reporter started with him. Soon after the balloon ascend- ed a great storm arose; and two days af- terwards Donaldson -was found ina dying condition, horribly mangled near the lake in the woods, and this is substantially the story he told before bis death. “After we got up about two miles the storm eame on. The baljoou was a poor affair f|and although I threg out all the bailast, I soon saw there was too much load ‘in her and that she would soon go down into the lake unless something was done. I looked at the Reporter. He was looking a; me and I knew he and I were thinking about the same thing. Que must die that the other might live. The poor devil was as white as a sheet and so full of fear that be crouched down iu the basket like acur. Although I pitied him yet I de- apised him for being acoward. ‘To seize him and throw him out was the work otf an iustant, but I can see his horror strick- en tace now as he went down to the lake.” What moments of awful suspense and terror those were to the poor Reporter as he saw the eyea of Donaldson fall apon him with the glare of a wild beast. ‘To hire seconds appeared centuries, All the days of bis life and the acta thereof came crowding upon his brain like and avalan- che. Donaldaon cool aud interped surveying him with mingled pity and contempt.

The case has excited universal intereat and the conviction of Westervelt meets with the approval of the entire press of the land.

The average proportion of the sexes among nearly twenty-two millions of births recorded iu England in thirty- four yeara ia 104.8 males to 100 females. Only in two years of the thirty-four did the rate fall below 104 to 100, and yet only once did it reach 105 to 100, thue showing that the variation is comparative ly slight. ‘The same vniformity is also shown in the recorda of our city for the past fourteen yeara, but the mean propor- tion with ua is 103.8 males to 100 fe- males. > The Chinese and Christianity.

A little after midnight till nearly 2 o’clock in the morning this man, he says, begins chanting verse atter verse of his Koran and of sacred bymas; repeats the Divine precepts; criticises the shortness of time in this world, amd the length of eternity in the next; and, finally, winds up with an unearthly howlor shriek. During all thie time he is in.the soundest of slumbers, and the only way to put astop to this bullabaloo is to turn the man on hia side; fur, should any one awake him, he will just open his eyes for a minute, and if allowed to con» tinue on the flat of his back, he will re- commence his howling hymns. ——~e——__—_ A Sleepy Horse that Beat the Field. At the Dubuque Fair a eleepy, poor homely horse called Lothair, was entered in every race. He began by taking the 3.15 race; then 3 minutes, 2.15, 2.40, aud won two heats of the 2.35 race, when a protest was entered that he had a better record than therace he wastrottingin. His driver denied this soft impeachment, and challenged proof- The judges called bim up to the stand and awore him. About this time be had got hie wrath up, and swore he would show them a trick worth looking at. In the third heat he let the sleepy horse out and distanced the whole field easily, cutting all others out of the chance of second, third and fourth money. The swearing of the army in Flanders was nothing compared to those borsemen who were looped. The air got so hot that Lothair and his driver lit out in the night with several thousand dollare pees from the greenies who played with im. During the selling of pools the owner bought the field $2 against $5, and in the end scooped the whole business. The querry is, “Who is Lothsir, and a|where did he come trom?’ Nobody knows farther than the owner said he come from Canada. - At all events he cut the eyeteeth of thesharpest horsemaa in dj the State, and did it so handsomely that they did not d'seover it until he had: got ot 1 PLT RS me RRR NE Re CAI syttrr sc tE P ane aa eI ee . ~% Ft + 7 a ty i ie 3 ‘3 by x Sn rt + A eS pn. ee eT ii! “A Cruel Races ~ | 08 DN MG he longest race ever run and one of } Tthe worst acts ot craelty to animals oc- - : PROGRAMMES, Giveulars, eed.

By loaning. money on _ hbypothecated stock they may be able to do this through the misfortunes of the hypothecators, and this is believed, by the knowing ones, to be their main object in opening the Bank of Nevada. However thie may be, the opening of the Bank was a grand success, if a beautiful counting-room and an un- limited display of gold coin can make: a success. I think I never saw a more elegant banking bouse, oragreater amount of gold coin. There it was, piled on trays on the counters, sparkling double eagles by the thousand! The capital of the bank is 5,000,000, aud it was all in full view in solid coin, whieh does not need to be redeemed, in addition to tray of coin which covered the counters, =~ HUGE BAGS OF GOLD were strewn around the floor, iuffront of the massive iron safes, which were thrown wide open for inapection. One could almost imagine that he had suddenly stepped into Aladdin’s cave, aud was surrounded by the wealth of a nation. There was the coin, enough to enrich thousands of enff-ring, and make happy hundreds of thousands of our fellow creas tures; but it all belonged to four men, and these four meu are still piling up their wealth by the million, It is the money which ia even eventually to flow to the East, and hasten the resumption of specie payment. ‘I'he ecene was very different fron that which signalized the reopening of the Bank of California last Saturday. The crowd was as great, and as much enthusiasm was mauifeated when the big doors swung open, but the throng was cowposed merely of curious lookers-on. No huge baga of gold were emptied on the counters by confident depositors. There was no need of it. The gold was there, and Flood & O’Brieu are not anx- ious for deposits, evon from stock-brokers. Their main object is to loan some of their vast wealth, A few deposits, however, were made. NO CHECKS were presented by men who had been on the anxious eeats for montha, fearful of the loss of their money, for no accounts were ou'standing; bat tha crowd surged into the bank, gazed wistfally at the gold, admiringly at the ornaments, and then surged out by auother door. It was more like a reception than a day of busiaces. All day loug the crowd continued to enter and pasa cut and when the doors of the bauk closed there were etill haodreds ino satisfied. No country can stand such a rate of interest as has been paid in North Caro~ lina for ten years. It blasts and blights the prosperity of a country as did the march of Sherman. The difference is this: one is quick aod the other is slow ruin, Sherman went right through, stop- ping long enough at widow Tate’s, in the northera part of Wake connty, and other houses, to break up pianos and other furniture: T'welve and a half, sixteen and twenty per cent begins with mor. gaging the horses, wagons, plows and growing crops, and ends with selling the homestead. Namie the farmer who mort- gage in 1866 and has got out without being sold out. tell the readers of a deciaion of the supreme court on usury in the case of the Nation-~ al Bank of Buffalo, N. Y., against one Deering. Under the law of New York both principal and interest ia forfeited if tbe lender charges more than 7 per. cent. aud the lender is also indictable for mis- demeanor aa in North Carolina. Now the congressional penalty for usury is ‘| like all congressional punishments, light and acldom executed, Under the eon- gressional national back system there is no forfeiture of principal for uaury. The eongreesional peualty ie this : the borrow- er way refuse to pay the usurious iutcreat excess over and above the legal rate of interest. Where the borrower bae in ad- vance paid more than legal interest be may recover the excess by brirging suit against the lender. The natioual banks terest and usury, the penalty imposed by the natioual government uet being suffi cient to keep them from usurious practices. The national system of banking is the great curse of the country. Take Jay Cook for example; be beld millions of United States bonds upon which the goverumeut paid bim eix per cet. io gold and imposed no tax on hie bonds. In North Carolina, aud otber pointe of the south, he established bauks by depositing with tbe treasurer of the United States in Washington $100,000 of bis bonds; and they gave him $90,000 of bank notes to lend to farmers and trading men at 12,15 and 20 per cent. Such is the financial syetem of the best governnient the world ever saw. It will produce bankruptcy, poverty and ruin among the people, and sloth, corruption and profligacy among bondholders and goveroment officials who legislate for the benefit of bondholders.

Generous Enthusiam. Many wonder how i: is that two Yan- ‘kee preachers, Moody aud Saukey, couid i ereate such excitement in old England by ,calling lords, ladies and gentlemen to | repentance and a livelier seuse of religion, As orators and scholars they are not equal to Beecher, Talmage or Deems. In i fact, they are only second rate as scholars, thiikers and orators. Brother Mangum, brother Burkhead or brother Hudson can beat Moody preacis ‘ing, and brother Moore can out sing Sankey. Moody aud Saukey are enthu- siaats. Gladstone, Lord Shaftesbury and the gentry of England were never warmed by a religious glow such as is felt at Cudar Grove and Pleasavt Green or old Sharon, in Orange, and, in fact, on all the religious camp-groands in North Carolina. Moody and Saukey introduced into the courts and palaces of England a litle plain Methodist zeal for the cause of good religion. Iu England, where they have it at all, it is a matter of faith and reagon. | These thirty years have witnessed and ;felt the Moody and Sankey revival at Cedar Grove, Pleasant Green and Sharon. | Brother Bacon or brother McManen wonld , have eonverted Gladstone and Shafies- bery long ago if they could have heard | them at their camp~meetings iu Orange. i Low did Peter the Hermit pvt all ‘ Europe on toot for the Holy Scpulchre 4 There were menof bis day and of thia -day who could beat him talking.

It is dated jata village on Victoria’ Niyanza lake | Atriea, March J, 1875, and gives au in- | teresting account of bis 103 days journey ; across the wilde of the African interior. : Daring the journey from Bagamoyo to 'Kagebyi many of the party died from fatigue, famine and dyeentery. At Urimi, ‘in the country of Suna, a people wae dia ' covered remarkable for theic manly beau- ty ; they went wholly vaked. ‘They bad :no chief, but was goverued by elders. Five of the party died on the fourth days’ of march. Several fights with wild tribes occured, ia which both sides suffered. Tue natives of Waturn fought a three days’ battle against the explorers. Stans ley lost twenty-one men and the natives thirty-five. Of the $50 men whom the explorer took with bim on hig march, only 166 remained wheu be camped by the borders of the lake. Some fell in battle, others deserted, many—and among them two Englishmen, Pocock and Barker —perished by discase in the seven bundred and fifty miles journey. The Herald ot Twesday publishes a second letter from Mr. Stanley, dated May 16, 1875, ia which he deals entirely with his exploration of the Victoria Nyauza lake and treats of the georgraphy of tue lake and rivers which flow into it aud the countries which surround it. Oue thousand miles of the Jake’s shore were surveyed, occupying 58 days, but a part of the southwest coast has yet to be ex- plored. After refurring to the deaths of his companions, Pocock and Barkers, Mr. Stanley concludes his letter with the followigg glance on the prospects ahead : Phas two out of the four white men are dead. I wouder who next? Death cries, who next ? and perhaps otir several friebds ask, who next? No’ matter who it is. We could not better ourselves by attempt- ing to fly from the fata! land ; for between us and the sea are several huudred wiles of as sickly a country as any in Africa. The prospect ia fairer in front, though there are some three thousand miles more to march. We have new and wonderful lands before us, whose wonders and mys- teries shall be a medicine which sball make ue laugh at fever and death.. ——rao_——— “Happy is that people whose God is the Lord.” |} Is uot thie the testimony of the civilized world as well as the declaration of the inspired penman? That nations, countries, or kingdoms, on the face of the earth, stand foremost in all that enobles human- ity? Are they not those countries whose “God is the Lord’? Whereare the dark places of cruelty, but in those corners of earth where the knowledge of the trae God has not penetrated. There, meu worship the creatures of their own bands, or the sun, or beasta, or reptiles, or any object which the darkened imagination may fasten upon. And there is ignorance, vice aud degredation,—a hopeless, ray- less night. Generation succeeds genera-~ tion, aud there is evolution without pro- gression. Men come and go like the beasts—having no knowledge restraining passion, aud no hope inspiring to the practice of virtue. ‘he opposite of all this “is that people whose God 18 the Lord.” Vhe Lord, by his word of truth lifieth the people who ackvowledge him as their God; and they are graded just ip the proprotiou in which that acknowledge- These United States of America more generally acknowledge un, perbaps, than any otber. England, Scotland, Ireland, Frauce, the German ment is limited. States, Russia, and a few other of the European peoples come next, and these are the great pvoples of the earth, who are shaping its affairs, social, civil, and religious ; and by them are all tbe grand achievements in science, arts, and learn- ing. It is assumed that the text annoan- ces a great truth: that no one denies it: that from a etapd point taking in all the world into the comparison, it would claim ag rcady admission as the declaration, “the sun is bright.” If, then, ‘“‘lappy is that people whose God ie the Lord,” is their's not a fearful responsibility resting upon those who are in authority among such a people and yet do uot honor him! According to a mau’s knowledge the judgment shall Le. The wan iu honor that understandeth not, is like the beasta which perish, Se Handfuls of Purpose. Chriatian, you never go to your daily reaping but there comes a Ruth to glean atter; and the Master says. “Let fall some of the handfuls of purpose for her.” Mother, do you grow tired growing hand- fuls for the busy little gleaners iu your homes? When engaged in some great, good work for the Master that requires all the time and energy you can spare from household duties, do you feel that your work will suffer you to stop every day to plant new seeds of goodueas, and watch and water with loving care the beauty already growing ? Your work goes on while you stop. Your children may be your helpers,—Thev, mother, never be deaf to? their questiouings. Withhold nothing from them that God witbholda not from. Let your heart be an open treasury—a store-house for the elder children, a nursery for the little ones. See that their tiny hands are fall for Jesus, if you spend all your time dropping sheaves.—If God gives each tamily its share of the work to do, will he care how much the children help, if it ia done. The Ruth that came to glean in your field, the other day, Christian siater, was your poor washerwoman. Something in your morning chapter —“‘unto the least,”’ was it 7—made you unusually kind and thoughtful, aud out of your kindness you dropped a little handful of purpcese that hae been food, raimeut aud joy to her hungering, elivering heart ever since. Ouly a seat beside her; a few kind ques- tions ; a patient liatecing to the old story of suffering ; a little work of sisterly counsel covered with ready tact, while you showed ber some ekilltul work you bad been doing, eutertaining her tora little as kindly as you would have donea dear frieud. You could tell as you eaw that sad face transfizared, what ea feast you were epreading tur your sister, and eomcbody whiepered, “You are speakiug itfor Me.” ‘bat night perhaps your bumble sister weut home, on her kucee for the firet time in many years, to carry your baudful chauged iuto repentant tears, into God's garner. How she helps ed you to work for Jesus that day !— Methodist Advocate. (Sn nee Salt Water for the Eyes. Many persons are suffering pain and weakuess of the eyes. ‘This sometimes proceeds frum local inflation, and some- times from other causes. Several persons who have thus been affected inform us that they have derived almost immediate, and in some cases permanent relief, from the application of salt water as a bath; and when the pain has been aggravated, from a compress saturated with water laid on the eyes, and renewed at frequent intervals. Opening the eyes and sub- merging them in cleau salt: water has becn found beneficigl to those whose eye~ sight begius to fail, “Holy, boty, tiely; Lord In God’s House. | The following parsage occurred in oue of the Rev. Joseph T. Durpea’s sermons in New York, recently : And yet I say that worship should be reverential. That its expression, its mode, its form should be iv sympathy with the feeling of a deep awe in the pre- sence of God. And it is for this reasou I deprecate everything light and trivial in the house of God. And it is for this rea- son I desire to bavish from it everything in music and in art that suggesta a place where men forget God, and worship selt, and receive their reward in the pleasures of sin which are fora season. It is for this reason if | know my own heart—I never have dared pretend to invite a langh or applause in the house of God: I should be ashamed to bebave myself before’ Him at whose feet the angels and archangels bow and cast their crowns before Him, and with subdued song ome Him : as I would not dare to behave at the bum- blest reception of the lowliest prince that is seated on an earthly throne and bolds ascepter. I would rather feel, when I come with the twoor three with whom Jesus has promieed to be, respoasive of the words: ‘“Vhe Lord is in Hia holy temple; let all the earth keep silence be- fore Him.” Depend upon it ia the depth of our nature, the largeness of our soul, the nubiliry of our character, the loftiness of our life, will depeud upon the measure of our lowly reverence for the great, the strong avd holy God, and ot His works that testify of Him and so are like Him. A CHeap Harp Soap.—Many honee- keepers in the country know how difficalt it is to obtain a good article of bar soap The yellow soap sold at the store cuts ag soft as cheese, and rubs away as easily, and unless the housewife buys a box ata time, and piles it up in stacks in the attice or some dry place, the yearly record will show a good sum paid out for soap pur- chased by the bar. ‘The following re- ceipt will prove a desirable item of econ- omy: Four large bars yellow soap; two pound sal-soda; three oances borax; one ounce of liquid ammonia. Shave the soap in thin slices, put it into eight qaarts of soft water (rain water is tbe best). When the soap is nearly dissolved, add the borax and gal soda; atir until it all is melted. Pour it into a large tub or shal- low pan; when nearly cool add the am- moniaslowly, mixing it wel]. Let it | stand a day or two, then cut it intu cakes or bars and dry in a warm place. No better soap can be made to wash white cloth, calicoes, and flannels, and it is ex. cellent for all household purposes. It costs but three centa per pound, and ig made in lees than half an hour. This res ceipt bas been sold for five dollars, and will be of service to every family.--J[earth | and Hone. —_——~-<->-———_—. Life Lengthened. 1. Cultivate an equitable temper— many a man hae fallen dead in a fit of passion. 2. Eatregularly, not over thrice a day, and nothing between meals. 3. Go to bed at regular bours. Get up as goon as you wake of yourself, and do not sleep in the day time—at least not longer than ten miuutes before noon. 4° Work always by the day and not by the job. 5. Stop working before you are very much tired—before you are ‘‘fagged out.” 6. Cultivate a generous and accommo dating temper. 7. Never cross a bridge before you come to it; this will save you half the troubles of life. 8. Never eat when you are not but~ gry, vor drink when your are not thiraty. 9. Let your appetite always come un- invited. 10. Cool off in a place greatly warm er than the one in which you have been exercising; thie simple rule would prevent incaleulable sickness and save millions of lives every year. 11. Never resist a call of nature for a single moment. 12. Never allow yourself to be chilled “through and through ;” it is this which destroys 60 many every year in a few days’ sicknees from pneumonia—called by some lung fever or imflammatio. of the lungs. 13. Whosoeverdrinks no liquids at meals will add years of pleasurable exis- tence to hia lite. Of cold or warm drinks tbe former are the most pernicious; drink~ ing at meals induces persons to eat more than they otherwise would, as any one can varify by experiment, and it is ex- cees in eating which devastate the laud with sickness, sufferings and death.” 14. After fifty years of age, if nota day-laborer, and sedentary persons after forty should eat but twice a day—In the morning end about fonrin the afternoon —for every organ without adequate rest will give out prematorely. 15.

His -was the greatness which comes without being sought for its own sake —the unconscious greatness which results fiom self sacrifice and supreme devotion to duty. ‘T'be orator illustrated this devotion to duty by the incident of the letter sent by Jackson to bis pastor, Rev. Dr. White, after the first battle of Manassas, when everybody was waiting in Lexington for authentic news and a crowd was collected at the postofiice, — r White, on reeognizing a letter to him- self from Jackson, said, “Now we ahall know all the facts,” but ou reading the expected ‘‘war balletin’”’ fousd it to ran ouly as eollows: “My dear Pastor :—Jn my tent last might, after a friigning day's service, I remembered that I had failed to send you my contribution for our colored Sunday | School.

A gen- tleman in this city told us that real estate near Central Park, New York, for which $125,000 had been paid two years ago, leas a mortgage of $35,000, was offered for the mortgage alone. Mr. Bayard, in confirmation of that statement, said he had heard it announced in New York that there was not # second mortgage on any property, in the metiopolis and vicinity, which was worth the paper it was written on. He remarked, too, that these were sonfe of the “results of the war” that made men almost curse themselves for be- ing misled in }860-61. We venture to assert that this feeling will grow as time rolls on,’ aed Tally one more for North Carolina, when he went to housekeeping some six- ty years ago he built a fire in bis house, which he has‘ eyer let go out from that day to chin, keeping it ug. through summer as wellgs wiuter.

A year ago last February the barge Jewess of Boston sailed from New South Wales in the direction of the Auckland Ielands, a group which lies in the South Pacific ocean, near New Zeeland. A few days later, the Boston barque Delia M. Long and an English barque, name un- known, followed on the same course. No tidings of the two Boston vessels were received in this city till recently, whon Capt Brewer of Biddeford, Me., of the barquc Marathon, New York, returning from a voyage sround the world, brought back a terrible story in regard to them. At one of the ports at which he stop- ed he had fallen in with a sailor, ar some one who knew him, who purported to be the sole survivor cf the three crews. The vessels, he said, had become hecalmed in the vicinity of the Auckland Islands, and lay there together several days, Th crew, plundered the ships and scuttled them. ‘The men were carried prisoners to the shore, and furnished food for a horri- ble feast of their captors. No particulars of the fight or of the survivor's escape were obtained; but tho facts: are pretty well authenticated, and the long absence of the vessels furnishes good greund for believing the story may be true. Lhe survivor was one of tle crew of the Jewess, and he is said to have retaied that the surprise was complete, tho vessel be~ iug some distance from land and no signe of enemies havicrg been seen. ‘The vsual precauticn taken when a ship is becalmed in the vicinity cf land inhabited by sava- ges, is to drive sharp nails, placed clogcly together, through boards, which are placs ed over the deck and fastened firmly down, leaving the sharp iron pointa stick- ing up. It is then impossible for the bare- footed savages to step upon the deck, and they are shot off atleisure. This precau- tion was not taken on board the Jewcss, the survivor said, because no danger wag suspected. It is understood that no ship uf the U. States navy now stationed in the Sout! Seas, or within reasonable distance of the vicinity wherethe terrible tragedy cordited as having been enacted. The Jeweae was nearly 500 tons burden. On the vessels there were probably thirty mex, but the names of any cannot be ascortain- ed, most of them having been shipped iu forsign ports. ‘Time will probably bring to light fuller particulars of their horrible fate.—DBoston Advertiser. ——_——~<—>- An Exquisite Stery by Lamar- tine. In the tribe of Neggedeth there was a liorse whose fame was spread far and near, and a Beudouin of another tribe, by rame Daher, desired extremely to possess it.— Having offercd in vain for it his camels aud, his whole wealih, he hit at length upon the following device, by which he hoped to gain the object of his desire.— He resolved to stain his faee with the juice of an herb, to clothe himself in raga, to tie his legs and neck together, so as to appear as alamebegeer. Thus equipped he weut to wait for Naber, the i the horse, whom: he knew was to pass that way. When he saw Naber approach- ing on his beautiful steed, he cried out in a weak voice: “Tam a poor stranger; for three deys [have been unable to move from this Tam djing; help e, and Heaven will reward you.” The Bedouin kindly offered to take him upon his borse and carry hita home, but the rogue replied: “T cannot rise; | left.” Naber, touchod with pity, dismouuted, Icd his horse to the spot, and, with great difficulty, set the sceming beggar on ita back. Butno sooncr did Dather fee! himsclf{in the saddle than ho set spurs to the horse and galloped off, calling ont as he dids: “It is I, Dasher. and am off with him Naber called after ) i ' heoga elCeo have no strength I have got tho horse, ” him to stop and lise ten. Certain of not being pursued, bo’ turned and halted at a short distance from Naber, who was armed with a spear. “Since Heaven has willed it, I you joy of it; but I do conjure you never tu tell any one how you obtained it, “An@ why not?” said Dather. “Beeause,” said the noble Arab, “a nother might be really ifl, aud men would fearto help him, You would be cause of many refusing to perform au act of charity for fear of being duped, as I have been.” Struck with shame. at these words, then springing from the horec, returned “6 it toits owner, embracing him. Naber made him accompany him to his tent, where they spent a few days together and beeaine fast friends for life. ———— + otie Observer gives the fol- ful results of rar!

The mysterious solitudes of the great West, those trackloss wastes of desert and mountain, of deep wooded valley and rolling prairie which are embraced within the Territories bordering on the Mexican frontier, says the New York Herald, are slowly yielding up their .secrets to the scieutific explorer. Strange as it may seem, there are many hundreds of thous~ ands of square miles of our national do- main which are as yet a terra incognita, so far as our knowledge of their physical geography is concerned, and it is to epe- cial explorations, such as those cf the Hayden survey, that we are indebt- ed for any iuformation we possess of the topographical details, geological struc- tures, flora and fauna and ethnology of these wild regions, Regarding their early oecupation by. man we are such positive evidences as are furnish- ed ky the work of human hands. Time and the operation of natural causes efface all traces of human existence except those which can resist decay or withstand the action of the elements. Even such indestructible objects may be buried be- neath the shafting desert sands, as in Egypt and Syria, or overwhelmed by volca:ic cruptions, ajs at Pompeii and Herculaneum, or lost in the depthe of cense forests which have grown from the scedlings scattered by the winds among the ruins of prehistoric cities, as in New Mexico and Brazil. The evidences bcing present that civilization once existed in the midst of this continent, the skill of the archeologist can alone determine its antiquity Ly comparison and inference. A condition of civilization may be sea- sonably imferred when we. find order, ‘symmetry and vrnament combined in the structure and arrangement of ancicut re- mains, he first two characteristics ins dicate design and intelligence governed by customs which have grown iuto laws ur general guidance, while ornamentation indicaics taste, a certain degree of luxury aud popular cducation, which created geucral appreciation of the beautiful in form and color. To theac may be added the significance traceable in all works that have emanated fiom peoples who lived in communitics and adopted water- ial forms in the expression of thelr relig- ious ecutiments. All these conditions of evideace are found in the remains on which we base our theory of the existence ‘cf a prehistoric civilization in America. In order to form an estimate ef the anti- quity ct this civilization we are again, in the absence of historical record, forced to speculate on its source, duration and re lative progresa with regard to that of known peoples. ‘The degree of civiliza~ tion attained by the early inhabitants of eypt and India can be readily un- derstood vhared by peoples main- taininy an intimate intercourse with them, jand as likely to differ, or rather to follow , when the means of inter- communication ceased. If architectur- al remains furnished any clew to this period we may call attention to a simi- liarity between the carlicst works of Egypt and those of the prehistoric peo- ples of America. ‘The same crude mas siveness of construction 18 commun to both, evineing the dawning knowledge of j the principles of the mechanical eciences , ta as ranether course lamong people possessed of extraordinary | | powers of pereeption.

A ‘professional gentleman” eatablished a faro bank in one of the | towns of file district during the sitting of | the superior court. This fact coming to | the knowledge of a law-abiding citizen, | who was shocked at the flagrant and | | scandalous disregard of the laws of the | ‘ zoud old state by this adventurer, lie in- formed the attorney general of the pres~ enec of the wicked man of the ‘“chips-” The attorney general was engaged in the court-houee at tle time in the discharge i of official duties, and when he got through and retired to his room ia the hotel, be could uot recollect the crime of which the new eomer had been guilty, but remem- bered that it eounded very .auch like the name of aking of Egpyt, of whom le ued read in his boyhood days; but here avain his memory Was at fault, for he could not call to wind the ame of that sing.

SCHROEDER’S AERIAL . SHIP. A Description of the workings Appa- tus— What the Inventor Says He Can Do—How the North Pole is to be Dis- covered. [From the Cincinnatti Commercial.1 Work has been commenced on the ship, aud it is confidently expected that she will be ready for her trial trip in about two weeks. The skeleton of the ship is made of double O wire; braced length- wise by single O wire. The sbip itself is eighty-five feet long, nine feet high, and eight feet wide, and in shape resems bles a long steamsship hull, with the ex- ception that the fore and aft projections extend about seven feet from the body of the pushing propeller being attached to one end, and the pulling propeller to the other in order that they can be worked to the best advantage, and to allow the ship to turn around on ite own pivot in the air. Underneath are two rudders, fore and one aft, for steering purposes. On making the ascent, the pulling propeller willbe put in motion, assisted by the pushing propeller aud the rudders, and thus the inventor confidently expects to be able to go whithersoever he will. ‘The ship is attached to the balloon by 1,496 ropes, eituated at equal distances apart, in order to preserve as exact a balance as possible. The capacity of the balloon is 265,919, cubic feet. Hydrogen gas will be used, and this substance is so light that it is calculated that one cubic feet will have a lifting power of one and three-quarter ounces, thus making the lift- lifting power of the balloon about 29,000 pounds, or nearly fifteen tons. It is not probable that the balloon will be inflated to its full capacity, inasmuch as the ex- treme rarefaction of the air at great alti- tades tends to withdraw the outside pres- sure from the balloon and the hydrogen inside, thus relieved of outward pressure, willexpand the more readily, and perhaps burst the balloon. Jut estimating the capacity at an amount leag than given, the balloon will e:sly have a lifting power of ten tons, while the weight of the appavatus, the gas, balloon, netting, ahip and machinery is but 4,800 pounde, or two and two-fifths tons. The balloon is fastened to the ehip in such a manner that it cannot away to and fro, so that it is impossible for the balloon to get out of a perpendicular position. The ship has two masts, fore and aft, which reach up to the equator of the bal- loon. On the top of cach mast a large wire cap is fastened to the netting perpen- diculariy, and the balloon itsclf is fasten ed to the netting all arouud the equator. In case of an explosion the lower part of the balloon ascends, falls into the netting, and half the balloon forms a large para- chate. The balloon descends for a short distance with great rapidity, when the air presses up underneath, the parachute apreads out, and the descent is made more gradual. he stecriug apparatus and’ propeller are set in motion, the rotary movement commences, and the balloon goes down in a circle like an eagle spread- ing ite wings. ‘Phe balloon is made of {eambric muslin, of which 18,000 yards i have been ueed in its manufacture, and [the length of the rope used is nearly twenty-one miles. The pulling and pushing propellers are worked by cranks, four men at each crank, and work in the lower current about three hundred and fifty revolutions a minute, increasing the number of revolutions with the increase in height. Aided by the pul- ling and pushing power, the iuvenutor claims that be will be capable of making the ship stance still in the air over any given poiut. Practical use will be made of this advantage by taking a photogray pher along, for the purpose of securing photographic views of certain sections of the country.

Passinc CompiiMents.—“Dogs, Curs, Spaniels, Whelps, Liars,” are a few of the epithets bestowed upon editors of newspapers at Lexington Court on sever~ al.occasions, last week by John M.

These epithets are bestowed by a Jadge who bas spent ten dollars for whiskey where he has spent one for law books; a man who bas crown hoary in sin, and whose pathway theoangh life is marked with the evidences of lus immorality and debauchery; a man wh sc occupancy of the bench is a sad commentary upon the looseness of the ties and the demoralization of the party ‘hat placed him there, and who holds hia position, not from the people, but at the hands of an impeached and deposed chief piagistrate, and retains it by the corrupt (eeision of an interested and partisan Court, and whose ignoranee of the law soakea bis occuparicy of the bench a bur- ‘esque upon jusiier, a sham to the State, and an outrage apou (he people.-- Winston oentine’, We belicve that no truer words were ever uttered.

Ve do not believe that the opponents the Administration are in a minority in ‘hig coantry. We do not believe the neasures of public policy that have marked the course of this Government sincé the Radical party eame into power are approved by more than half the American people. We do not believe that either in North or in South there isa preponderance of popular sentiment on 'ue one side of the advocates of a contin- vance of Radical rule in the government fthis Union. The trouble is, we appre wend, that there is not unity enough in -he Democratic party at the North, that bére ig too much jealousy aud rivalry, und individual ambition among the lead- ora that there is 1 want of proper com- pactness of organization, propersympathy, sud of proper subordination of all lesser -ceaires and designs to the simple bat sreat patriotic purpese of transferring the eins of government fvom the hands of he men who lave perverted and prosti- iuted the Constitution to the bands of the zen whohave becn Lat e'ing consistently, aod without ceasing, in sanshine and in storm,in defence of hh» Corst tation. If this he the true reason for these unexpected dis- asters following so soon after the cheering Democratic victories but a year ago, the wrong may be readily remedied, the rource of the danger may be promptly reached and removed, and the party op- posed to the party in power may soon be put ina position tu go concentrate all its strength in favor of the man it may nom- nate for the Presidency as to accomplish ‘he great paramouat object—a change of dmiuistration.—fichmond Whig. Thus the result is a warning to both parties. It warus the Democratic party it cannot snceeed except by absolute fidelity to the national honor, and vigor- 48 prosecution of advoinistrative reforms. it warns the Republican party thatit can escape snch an overwhelming defeat as it met in 1874 ouly by casting overboard Grantand Granlism, and placing the con- trol in the hands ot its purest avd beat elements. ‘The Domocrats have gained Mississippi. ‘Phe rate of the carpet-bagger breaks down even in that State, with its majority of coloured voters. ‘The Soath iu 1876 will be ucaily or quite a anite against that corr ct conspiracy which his of late used the Republican name. Not only New York, by a strong majority, | but Massaebusetts aud Connecticnt, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Obio, Indiana, and Wisconsin, would vote againet Grant wv any man identified with the corrupt set which he represents, if the money question were outofthe way. But not one of these Northern Scates, except possibly Tadiana, can be carried by the Demoerats if they make war pon the public credit, and the Republicius nominate a eaudidate not especialiy objectionable. If the Ifthe Demociatic party is wise enough fo pat the moacy question ont of the Presidential contest, -by adopting a measure of resumption this Winter, and nominating a cindidate known to be sound on that issuc, it will narrow the contest to one of administrative reform. With years of jobbery in Congress, and corruption in the civil services to investi- gate and disenss, it would have in auch a contest a decisive advantage, unless the Republican party should rid itself of Grantism more completely, and make a wiser selection cf candidates than now seems probable.— NV. ¥.

A e th ‘ , E by the: A Proclamation by -the President of the United State of America :— Washington, Oct. 27, 1875. In accordance with a@ practice at once wise and beautifal, we have been accas- tomed ; as the year is drawing to a close, to devote.an oceasion to the humble ex. pression of our thanks to Almighty God for the ceageless and distinguished benefits bestowed upon us as a nation, and. for His mercies aad protection during the closing year. Amid the rich and free enjoyment of all our advantages we should not forget the source from whence they are derived and the extent of our obligations to the Father of all mercies. We have full reason to renew our thanks to Almighty God for favors bestowed upon us during the past year. By his continuing mercy, civil and religious liberty have been maintained, ‘peace has reigned within our borders, la- bor and enterprise have produced their merited rewards, and to His watchful Providence we are indebted for security from pestilence and other national calam~ ity. Apart from the national dlessings, each iudividaal among us bas oceasion to thoughtfully recall aud devoutly recog- nize the favors and protection which he has enjoyed. Now, therefore, I, Ulysses S. Grant, President of the Uuited States, do recommend that, on Thursday, the 25th day of November, the people of the United States, abstaining from all secular pursuits and from their accustomed avocations, do assemble ia their respective places of worship, and, in such iorm as may seem most appropriate in their own hearts, offerto Almighty God theireacknowledgments and thanks for all His mercies, and their humble prayers for a continuance of His Divine fas vors. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. , Done at the city of Washington, this 27th day of October, in the year of our lord 1875, and of the independence of the United States, the ove hundredth.

An AFFLICTED FaMYLy.—Within the past ten days, Mr.and Mrs A H Tate have float three children, the last Ralpb, having dicd last evening. The rapidity with which these strokes have fallen from the haud of Providence, is sufficient to crush the stoutest heart, and this case is one wel! calculated to call out the sym- pathies ef the community.—Charlotte Observer. ———-- Privatz PRrayek.—The root that produces the beautiful and flourishing tree, with all its spreading branches, verdant leaves, and refreshing fruit, that which gaing for it aap, life, vigor, and fraiitulness, is all unseen, and the further and the deeper the roots spread beveath, the more the tree expands above.

This man was indieted as an illicit distiller ! Another case of a party selling a few hands of frosted tobacco to a_ neighbor. Weare glad to witness the efforts of Judge Dick so correct the many abuses in the management of commissioners and other officers of-this court. He announces a new set of rules with a view to correct these abuses—A sheville Expositor. —-— Fatt anp Spring Manxourine.—A writer in The Garden argues that if land bas clay enough to retain manurial parti- cles, manure does best applied in autumn; but if sandy and open, a gardener or farmer had better delay the application of manure till nearly placticg time in the epring. For garden purposes all manure had better be rotted before it is used, and it is desirable to heat the mass with lime when slackening or in some other way, to kill the seeds of weeds, and the eggs and young of many insects. Never plant in manure or elsewhere a germ you do not wish to-maltiply. ~~ --- Care oF Horsrs.~The London Horse Book says: All horses must be fed in the same proportion, without re. gard to their ages, their constitution, and their work ; because the impropriety of such a practice is self-evident. Yet it is constantly done, and is the basis of dis- eases of every kind. Never use bad hay on account of its cheapness, because there is no proper nourishment in it. Damaged corn is exceedingly injurious, because it brivgs on inflammation of the bowels aud skin digeases. Chaff is better for old horses than hay, because they car chew and digest it better. When a horse is worked hard its food should chiefly be oats, because oais sup-~ ply more nourishment and fleah-making material than any other kiud of food ; hay not so much. Rack feeding is wasteful. The better plan is to feed with chopped hay from a manger, because the food is not then thrown out, and is more easily chewed and digested. Sprinkle the hay with water that has salt dissolved in it, because it is pleasing to the animal’s taste and more easily di- gested. Ateaspoonful of salt iu a bucket of water is sufficient. ———__-<>- The Japan Pea. s The Japan Pea has withstood the drought of twelve weeks this sninmer better than any other crop knowo. Even when crab grass succumbed, it held its own. When one has worried himself to death to geta stand of cotton and failed, let him fall back on this as a sure card. Ordinarily tie prodet is from ten io fifty bushels per acre. the crop is easily gathered. easily threshed, weevil proof, zgvod for horses, good for hogs and cattle, and good fur the table, though I will qualify the last assertion by saying that boiled, I find them as callouused oysters of diminutive size might be supposed to be. They are to be suaked, then boiled until the woodpile is used up. and the patience of the couk is exhausted. After this is done, sume like them well. A second edition, however, in the way of a brown baked dish, after the fashion of the Down East Prok and Beans. dues away with the dyspepticai objection. It is recommended to boarding bouse keep- ers as a dish for those who turn up their noses at less substantial cookery. After so mach mouthing and nosing all around for somethiug to renovate old soils, why not the Japan Pea? Its stalks end foliage are more abundant than those of cotton, and I believe the crop utilized with cattle and bogs. is fully equal, takiug every- thing into cousideration. As a crop to turn under, it certainly has one advantage over the cow pea; ‘the seed cau be raised abundantly. But does it de- rive the same amount of atmospheric nutri-- inent, is the question ?

C., at the resi- dence of her daughter Mrs. Hoke, on Munday morning 8th iust., aged 69 years, Mrs. {Sarah D. Samner, relict of the late Benjamin Sumoer, a former prominet citizen of this county. Mrs. Suinner was an affable lady, in her manners, and beloved by a large circle of friends and relatives. The funeral took place from St. Luke's Episcopal Charch, Salisbury, of which she had been a worthy member for nearly half a centary. FirE:—On Tharsday night last the dread cry of fire resounded through our streets, and it was soon discovered that Mr V Wallace’s kitchen was on fire. Thé building was a small one and was soon reduced to ashes, but its near continuing to the Boyden House, gave great cause foralarm. The Fire communicated to the Boyden House, and soon two windows and a wooden partition were ablaze, but by extraor- dinary exertions the flames were extinguished before much damage was done. Ifthe Boyden had fairly caught, an extensive and disastrous conflagration would have been inevitable, and how narrowly this was escaped, affords cause for sincere thanks to Almighty God who rules the whirlwind and the storm, the fire and the famine. THE JOHNSON HOMICIDE. Sam Johnson the youthful slayer was be- fore the Courton Monday last, and after hearing the testimony of the coroner, his little brother and sister, and one or two oth- ers, it was agreed between the Solicitor and counsel for prisoner, that a verdict fur man- slaughter should be taken, and the punish- ment fixed by the court at four months im- prisonment in the county jail. It appears to have been a case of unintentional and perhaps justifiable homicide. A difficulty was causelessly provoked by the brother who was killed, when one held Sam, while another beat him over the head with a heavy bed slat—which the judge pronounced a deadly weapon—aud when he ture lovse from them he ‘jobbed his knife into Fred,” to use his own expreasiun, producing the wound froin which he died. FIRE ENGINES: A SUGGESTION. Every fire demonstrates how powerless we are stop to its flames, The town is absolutely at the mercy of the fire-fiend. The engines are useless and so would a forty thousand dollar steamer be, with our present watersupply. What we need is a prompt, easily operated, always ready apparatus, which can be used effectively on short notice. . This can be had in the “Little Giant Chemi- cal Fire Engine,” at a cost of only $300. Kin- ston, Tarboro, Newbern, Rock Hill and other places are supplied with this apparatus. It is on the principle of the portable “Fire Extin- guisher,’ but having twenty times its force and effectiveness. Jt is always ready. It requires but halfdozen men to move and operate it. It will put out any ordinary fire in the first stage, in from two to five minutes. It is furnished with fifty feet of rubber hose, and throws a strong stream fifty feet from the end of the hose, making 100 feet. We call the attestion of the Town Commis- sioners to the matter, and suggest that at least one of these engines be purchased for the town. It is an imperative necessity in our present con- dition. The writer, who has some practical knowledge of chemicals &c, will undertake to form asmall but effective company of good men, keep the engine always in order, and have it promptly at the scene of every fire. What say the Commissioners? And what say the public ? Concord Register—Again.—‘‘Answer not a fool according to hia folly,” says Solomon, and it issage adyice. Inthe present instance we shall endeavor to profit by it. After two full weeks of incubation, the re- doubtable Register man, comes back at us with a puerile attempt to justify his misrepresenta- tions of our late Fair, and makes some desper- ate flings at the Watchman, as well as at our respected contemporaries the Obeerrer, News, and Sun. According to the Register, we have all lied and tt has told the truth ! For cool, conceited impudence, that has never been excelled. It isan cld adage that “one lie told, necessi- tates ten more to cover it,’ and the Register’s article of last week, affords a sad illustration of its truth. Tell the truth at first, uext time neighbor, and you won’t have so much trouble afterwards. Try it anyhow, and our word for it you will be able to say with the old Scotch- man, “I{onesty is the best policy, for we have tried both.” The Register sticks to its ridiculously false statement that there were only 1200 persons on the grounds on Thursday, and calls for our proof that the number was really over 2500. As to the exact and accurate truthfulness of our statement, we respectfully refer to the President, Mr. A. H. Boyden, the Secretary Mr. B. F. Rogers, the Treasurer, Mr. J. Allen Brown ; aid to Messrs. J. A. Hedrick, Moses A. Smith, and B. H. Marsh, who sold the tickets at the gate. The fling at the close of the article is as dig- nified as it is gentlemanly, and fully as truth- ful as the rest of this wonderful paper's state ments. In the first place, there was no dray horse on the track. Inthe second place the race in question was “open only to horses which had never been successful on a race course,” and was won by “Dexter” an old but blooded horse, who has been occasionally used to the baggage wagon of one of our hotels. And now we have done with this fellow, having already given him more notoriety than he deserves. Superior Court:—Is still in session. Several interesting cases have been disposed of during the term. Stute vs. MeMudlen, for being a party to the robbing of one McKionniss, at Mrs. Sheek’s boarding house some time since, was tried and defendant convicted and senten- ced to the penitentiary for———years. State vs, Phillips, from Davidson, an a charge of forging the name of John Holland of Davie, to amorigage, was tried on Friday and Saturday, of Ror * Sa ards r ii ht bo it mid ii bt. “This < one of the most strongly prosecuted, and ably defended suits, which hes ever been tried in Salisbury.. Mr. Solicitor Dobson and W. H. Bailey, Esqr., appearing for the State, and J M. McCorkle, Chas Price, and Jno. E. Brown, Eaqra., appearing for the defendant. A large were examined, principally as to character, ters proven injany trial: It was appalling to contemplate. Holland swore positively that he had not signed the mortgage, but.it was in proof that Phillips had brought suit upon it, and that Holland had run off and sold the iden- tieal two mules which it covered, when legal process was sought to be served upon him. These facts told strongly against the probabili- ty that the signature was a forged one. speech of Mr. J. M. McCorkle in this case was one of that gentleman’s very finest efforts, and would have done credit to any Bar. It was clear, logical, eloquent, and in its showing-up of the prosecutor, his motiyes and character, absolutely crushing. Mr. Bailey made a pow- erful speech for the prosecution, which for force of invective, vehemence of denunciation, and ingenious handling of evidence, is rarely excelled. We were not so fortunate as to hear Messrs. Dobson and Price, but learn that their speeches were also ofa high order of merit. State vs. Meisimer, charged with murdering Mrs. Heilig, was removed to Concord. Personal. —J. J. Stewart, Esq., the editor of the Salisbury Watchman, and one of the ablest journaliste in the State, arrived in the city last night and rested at the Central Hotel. Heis on his way to the Wilmiugton Fair, and takes his departure this morning:—Char. Observer. JupGE Croup :—This functionary complain- ed from the bench on Monday morning last, that we had done him injustice in stating that he ‘bad not tried a single civil suit, during his en- tire fallround.” Weare always ready to cor- rectany misstatement, and always willing to do justice to all men. and therefore give the Judge the benefit of his disclaimer, only adding that our information was from a perfectly re- liable source. We learn, however, that Judge Cloud has tried some civil suits on his rounds ; but that he has neglected his duties, the fol- lowing from the Winston Sentinel, will show: “SporTING.—Last spring term of Davidson Court was adjourned by Judge Cloud, nutwith- standing there were important suits ov the docket set for trial, to goa fishing. Last week he adjourned the same Court, we suppose, to at- tenda grand fox haunt which is totake place this week in Rockingham county, with headquarters somewhere about Judge Settle’s plautation, The Forsyth Railroad suit was set for trial on Tuesday of this week. As every termthatthe trial of this case is delayed will probably cost the county several thousand dollars, it weuld be cheaper fur Forsyth county to levy a tax for the purpose of paying Cloud his salary and let him resign and some ove else be put in his place, so that he can indulge his sporting proclivities without delaying pubiic business. Every Court, this term, with the execption of one we believe, has been adjourned on the first week, and not a single civil cause has gone to thejury. Such wilful negligence of his duties should claim the attention of the legislature when it meets again, and this incubus on the Courts be remeved.” NOTICE THE DATE.

Courtship in Texas. [From the St. Loufs Republican.] He sat on one ride the roomin a big white-oak chair. She on the other side, ina little white-oak rocking chair. A long-eared deer-hound evapping at flies, was by his eide; a basket cf sewing by hers. Both rocked incessantly, that is, the young people, not the dg and the basket. He sighs heavily and looks out the west wiudow at a erape myrtle tree; she sighs lightly and looka out the east window —at the turnip patch. At last he remarks : ‘Thia is mighty good weather to pick cotton.’ ‘Tis that, if we only had any to piek.’ The rocking continues. ‘What's your dog’s name ?’ ‘Coony.’ Another sigh-broken stillness. ‘What is be good for 1’ ‘What is who good fur 7’ said he, ab» atractedly. ‘Your dog, Coony.’ ‘Kur ketchin’ ‘possums.’ Silence of half an hour. ‘He looks like a deer dog.’ ‘Who looks like a deer dog 7’ ‘Coony.’ ‘Weis; bet he’s kiader bellowsed an’ An’ he ain't no ’couut on a cold trail.’ In the quiet ten minutes that ensued, ske took two stitches in her quilt.

By this time the chairs were eo close together that rocking was impossible. ‘The minks has eat all ours.’ Then a long silence reigns. observes : ‘Makin’ quilts 1” ‘Yes,’ she replies, brightening up, ‘I’ve just finished a ‘Roarin’ Kagul of Brazeal, a ‘Sitting Sun,’ anda ‘Nation’s Pride’ Have you ever saw the ‘Yullow Rose of the Parary ?’ ‘No.’ More silence; then he says: ‘Do you love cabbage 1’ ‘I do that.’ Presently his hand is accidentally placed on hers. She does not know it— at least does not seem to be aware of it.— Then after a half hour spent in sighs, coughing and clearing of throats, he sud- deuly saye: ‘I’se a great a mind to bite you.’ ‘What you greata mind to bite me fur ?’ : ‘Kase you won’t haye me.’ ‘Kase you ain’t axed ine.’ ‘Well, now, | ax you.’ ‘Ther, now, I has you.’ Then Coony dreams he hears a sound of kissing.

Y., were mar- ried in that village to two sisters, The brothers, as well as the sisters, were twins. On Wednesday last, to complete their wedding trip, the two couples went to Unadilla to visit the ta:aily of Joseph Morehouse, whose wife was a sister of the newly married ladice. On Thursday morning the bridal party and Mr. and Mrs. Mourhouse went boat riding on the Suequehanna at Unadilla.— William Goodrich took. the oars, and while rowing the ladies became frightened, the boat was capsized and the entire party thrown iuto the water. Mr. Morehouse, being an old sailor and an expert swimmer, tried to support his wife and Mrs. Maurice Goodrich. ‘The women, however, threw their arm about him, and the three sank and were drowned. Maurice Goodrich swam a few fect, but being weighed down with heavy clothiag was also drowned, William Goodrich before begining to row had removed his coat.’ He was a good awimmer and eaved his wife. The bodies cf Mr. and Mrs. Mourhouse and Maurice Goodrich were recovered the same day, but that of the latter’s wife had not been foand at last accounts. : . , ooo A Train of Evils. If weakness of the stomach is allowed to become chronic, the following evils supervene —Digestion is permanently impaired, the sys« tem is very imperfectly nourisbed, the blood becomes thin and watery. and the bile being nuemployed for digestive and evacuative pur- poses, enters the circulatiouthrough the thoracic duct. and injects itself into the superficial vessels giving tothe skin and whites of the eyes the saffron tinge indieative of biliousness. Headache, nausea, constipation, pains in the side, palpitations, heart-burn, dizziness, and many other harrassing symptoms which accom- pany the internal derangementabove described. which, if unchecked is ag sure to be followed by serious diseases, as the rising of the sun by its setting. Itis manifest, therefore. that an inability of the stomach to act upon the focd should be overcome without delay Tho in- vigorating influence upon that organ of Hos- tettor’s Stomach Bitters is speedily felt in the disappearance of all the disagreeablesymptoms alluded to. The prescribed mineral remedies for general debility usually fail to achieye any lasting result, because they do not irvigorate the stomach; Hfostetter’s Bitters always suc- ceed because that ia their primal! effect. The very fact that they are such an excellent stom- achic constitutes them one of the best general tonics in existence. To restore digestion is the final step towards the recovery of health, when impaired by any of the multifariou3 complaints which spring from dyspepsia, and that step will be found to have been taken by the invalid who has availed himself uf this famous anti- dyspeptic remedy.

MARRIED f In this county, Oct. 28th, at the residence o Mr. Joseph Dobbins, by Rev. Geo. B. Wet- more, Mr Horace KE. Naile to miss Naomi, daughter of the late Nimrod Dobbins, all of this county. DiepD.—Mrs. Julia A. Gilmer, consort of the late Hon. John A. Gilmer, departed this life after a brief illness, on Friday evening last,in the 65th year of her age. For the past few years Mrs. Gilmer bad beeu in feeble healtb, suffering from heart disease ; cansing her much pain, and admonishing her friends that’ she would sooner or later suddenly be called away. Few women have ever lived in a community, and attained to her age, who were more persis tent and untiring in good works—not only for her owr household and the church, but for the public generally. She possessed a Jarge, chris- tain, motherly and bencyvolent beart—and no cry of the needy ever reacbed her ear without eliciting an unselfish and liberal response. She was universally beloved and her funeral on Sunday last, at the Presbyterian church, was attended by an unusually large concourse of our citizens, all the other churches, very properly, having no service at that hour. Dr. Smitb preached a very affecting sermon. at the beginning of which he paid a just and beauti- ful tribute to the memory of the deceased.— Greensbora Patriot. ln ne Se AAS et Ph AE SE EE LEE OES SALISBURY MARKET.

DuaFNess.—EKarache and deafuess are sometimes connected with chronic ulcera- tion in the internal or external part of the car, when injections of warm water and soap are advisable. In this case there is sometimes a consent fetid discharge, for which the following mixture is reccom- mended: Take the oxgall, three drachms; balaam of pera, one drachm ; mix ; a drop or two to be pat into the ear with a little cotton. When deafness arises from a de- ficient secretion of wax, take oil of tur~ pentine, half a drachm ; olive oil two drachma; mix; two drops to be intro-~ duced into the ear at bedtime. When deafness arises from a collection of too much wax and pain is experienced on the drum of tho ear, inject warm water with a gutta-percha syringe made for the pur- pose, and which can be purchased at any chemist’s. _ THe Prepmont Arr-Link RalLroaD Case.— Atlanta, Oct. 29. —In the United States Circuit Court this morning, Hon.

To aid our furmers in arriving at accu- racy in estimating the amount of land in differeat ficlds nnder cultivation, the following table is given by an agricultural paper : 5 yards wide by 968 yards long contain 1 acre. 10 yards wide by 484 yards long cons taiu 1 acre. 20 yards wide by 242 yards long con- tain 1 acre. 40 yards wide by 121 yards long coa- tain 1 acre. SO yards wide by 504 yards long con- tain 1 acre. 70 yards wide by 694 yards Jong con- tain 1 acre, 60 fect wide by 726 fect long contain 1 acre. 110 fect wide by 369 fect long contain 1 acre. 120 feet wide by 363 feet long contain Ll acce. 220 feet wide by 198 feet long contain I acre. 240 feet wide by 1814 feet long contain I acre. 440 fcet wide by 99 feet long contain J aere. A box 54x16 inches, 22 deep, contains 1 barrel. A box 16x16} inches, 8 deep, contains 1 bushel, A box 8x34 inches, 8 deep, contain ‘1 peck. A box 4x4 inches, 44 deep, contains 4 peek. . The standard bushel of the United States contains 2160.4 cubic inches, Any box or measure, the contents of which are equal to 2160.4 cubic inches, will hold a bushel of grain. In measur- ing fruit, vegetables, coal and other sub~ stances, one-fifth must be added. In other words, a peck measuro five timos even full makes ono bushel. The usual practice is to “hoap the measure.” A few Sheep on the Farm. We find these sensible suggestions in the American Rural Home : The relative profit is much greater from a small flock than a large one. The grain farmer, no matter how few his acres, can make money by keeping a few sheep. ‘There is always room for them somewhere, and they turn into money food that other- wise would waste. But he mast be care- ful not to overstock. ‘To illustrate: sup- pose the farmer cultivates only eight acres, taising grain-chiefly. He kceps a few cows and the necessary teams. Qne-fifth of his farm is in pasture, one-fifth meadow, one planted, one spring grain, and one wheat. He thinks he has as much stock gs he ean profitably keop, but it he pate one sheep to every five acres, he will find their products clear gain. In the spring, early, they can run on the sod which is to be planted, and one sheep to each acre will not hurt the land, yet they will liye well, After that they can go into the pasture, and will clean after the cows to advantage. A run on the stubbles after harvest will not be felt where cach shecp hag two acres, and iu the full there is pleaty of feed. Through the winter they can be kept well on what the other stock would not consume, witi the addition of a little grain. Propably the most profitable are some of the coarss er wooled, mutton breeds. Their Jambs sell to the butchers for bigh prices, and when fat the sheep brings as a yearling steer. Sixteen mutton sheep, well man aged, would produce a yearly income of $100, where, if none. were kept, nothing would be realized, The greatest draw- back is liability to lose by dogs ; andiit is a disgrace to any Staté to protect its curs so well that they expel, to a certain ex- tent, the paz ey pal which can ch vator. the meat‘and clothing of the people. en] TO yn lair Ba The Salisbury Fair wae well The: receipts being largely in excess of the expenditures. It would be difficult; to. manage better. Every attention was shown to exhibitors and visitors that eruld be dosired, which was abundantly proved by the entire absence of all com plaints. Everybody seemed to be giving his good nature an airing. The police regulations were so perfect, that but one person was taken to the calaboose. Such potatoes and vegetables wire on exbibix tion as would have made a Long Island Farmer’a eye sparkle with joy. Not so many farm products as there should have been, but enongh to show the capacity of North Carolina’s soil and climate. It is fully equal if not superiof to any on the eastern slope. The show of agricultural implements and machinery was also very satisfactory. But it is to be feared that while five-sixzths of the premiums are ap- propriated to the “fast nags,” and only one-sixth to farm products and implements that agriculture does not occupy the place it ought in the minds of the people. Fifty dollars premium on a running horse aud the plow which “spceds all,’’ pot even mentioned in the premium list cer- tainly leaves room for improvement. VISITOR. ———~~apo—____—_ MEAL FEEDING.—Says a correspon dent of the New York Times: Since 1870 I have tried feeding with two quarts of cotton eced at a feed, and two quarts of meal per day ; thatis, each day four quarts seed and two quarts meal will keepa cow fat if she is already so when the winter scts in, The winter of 1873 was a very severe one, and hay was very scarce. I bad a fine milch cow whose calf I had killed. I kept ner up and fed her two quarts of meal twice a day, and about one gallon of cotton seed, all worth then say twelve cents. She gave over one and a half gallons of milk through the whole winter, and came out in the spring as fat asa beef. All who try your system with five pounds of hay with it, if the cow is in milk, will be pleased with it. It is a fixed fact, no hay is needed if thecowis dry. I write this to you ao that all may kuow as well as yourself, and will suceeed. 1 also tricd iton my sheep, but I found that bran and cotton seed and meal were better than meal alone. My wife also said that our cow would give mere milk aud less cream whea she gave her two quarts bran aud two of meal, or two quarts of meal in’ bran, than she did on meal alone. af Alia) FWEe) FORTE TE A i) RI fa 3 iH « (at WTA ILS l ws Ue chisel cit ey ——:0: ISTERS, PROGRAMMES, PAMPHLETS, CARD BLANKS, Sislaans DLANRS, DEEDS, (Fee Simple, Sheriffs and Commis- sioners), CONTRACTS, ROTES, CHECES, MORTGAGES, (Land and Chattle\, © BILL HEADS, Wate and Letter dleads, Labels, Cautions, dc. &e., all done on short notice and at VERY LOW RATES. keaCourt Blanks, Deeds and .Mort- gages, ready printed and for sale at all times.

VII.--.THIRD SERIES. From the New York Observer. AJESUIT’S PATIENCE ABUSED. _ The Roman Catholic Tablet cries out in a parody on Cicero: “ How long, O Observer, wilt thou abuse our patience 2” We answer : Probably so long as your un-American designs against the public schools of this country are prosecuted. Probably so long as you continue to demand that we shall be taxed for your exclusive benefit. Probably so long as yon insist that the State shall be controlled by your Church, and administer its laws for your good. The Tablet also says : “The Obserser would seek to make people end to get hold of the education of Protestant cpildren. Did they every make the slight- est effort to do so in any townof the land? We plead guilty to the wish to get into our hands the education of our own Catholic children. Where is the crime in this.” Weanswer: Youclaimthat your Church isthe rightfnl educator of the whole people ; that the Church should guide the State, especially in the matter of education. If we cannot prove this posilion we will surrender the whole question and admit that you have been misrepresented by us from the outset of the controversy. Let us begin at a distance and come to close quarters gradually, A “Congress of Roman Catholics” was held the other day at Freiburg, in Baden, when, amongst other propositions, it was unauimously declared that the Charch must be accord- ed entire liberty for all its actions, it being endowed with special rights in the field of teaching, cousecrating aud juriadiction, The State, as wellas the individaal, is subject to the law of God—that is, the authority of Rome as the exponent, of that law—and that stands “above the Constitution and the law of the State.” Further, we are told, “it is an attack upon the existence of the Church to try to lim- it the Pope, the Supreme Head of the whole Church, in the execution of his unlimited power as to his teaching and as to his jurisdiction over the whole Christain world,”’ As one of the souse- quences of this, “Christian parenis can confide their children only to such schools as are approved by the ecclesiastical au- thority.” ‘Yhere is much more of the saine sort, but the resolutions close with a sound of ‘war to the knife.” “he Catholic Chureb can and will neyer sub- mit to a system of laws which is in con- tradiction to its coustitution, founded by God. Peace can only be restored when tho Catholic Church receives back its rights and powers, which it claims by virtue of Divine and public law.” This is in Germany. And wo under- stand perfectly that the fight there made by the Romish Church against tho gov- ernment is peculiar; but it furnishes occasion for the exposition of the general principles on which that Church bases ite self in resisting State laws, It claims that the Roman Church is “ above the consti- tution and the law.” This is tho most recent manifesto in Germany. Now we turnto Spain. Less than two monthe ago the Papal Nuncio ihere put forth the demands of the Pope in regard to that kingdom. These demands wero three in number : 1, That it shall prohibit the exercise of any religion in the kingdom but the Roman Catho- lic. 2. That the education of the children shall be committed to the care of the R. C. priest- hood, 3. That all heretical [Protestant] teachings shall be suppressed by law and penalties. This is as plain as plain can be. It asserts, without qualification, the right of the Romish Charch to control popular education. The Zablet will not venture to deny that what is held to be the right and daty of its Cuarch in one country is also claim- ed for ituniversally. Always and overys where is the idea of Catholicism. And now that its secular power is destroyed, and it ceases to have any civil represen-~ tation among nations, its religious suprem- acy is more distinctly asserted. In our country its doctrive is precisely the same, and these are its words. We qnote now from the Catholic World, published in this cily under the express sanction of the Pope of Rome: : “Wedeny the competency of the Slule to educate ; to say what shall or shall not be taught in the PuBLIC schools; as we deny its compe- tency to say what shall or shall not be the re- ligious belief and discipline of its citizens. We utterly repudiate the popular doctrine that so called secular education. 1s the function of the State.” And again : “We object to them [the public schools] not merely because they teach more or less of the Protestant religion, but also on the ground that we cannot freely and fully teach our re- ligion and train up our children in them to be true and unwavering Catholics.” These aud similar passages, in our judgwent, reveal the zdea of the Romish Chureb. ‘The Order of Jesuiis was found- ed with the purpose of bringing edueation under Chureh control : origivally the plan was military : then it became educativnal: and now it addresses itself to the work of manipulating the education of countrics where its seeret agencies are at work. The crafty Dr. Quinn, of this city, sought last year, with great adroitness, to yet the Board of Education to take the Rom- ish echools, pay the teachers out of the public fande, and let the priests teach the scholars before and after, and between school hours : a trick Jesuitical all over. It was exposed, and is now only ‘suss pended to be attempted again wheu the public mind becomes quict, or some po- litical party is in perishing need of the Romaa cohorts’ votes. By the same Jesuitical influeaces the Gray Nuns were empowered by the Legislature cf the State of New York, at its last session, to believe that Catholicsconsider it’ their ‘chief+ schools! The Tablet asks the Observer “if the Catholics ever made the slightest effort to g2t hold of the education of Pro- testant children in any town of the land ?” We answer, Yes, inevery town of this State. You got that sectarian measure smuggled through the Legislature, that your women, pupils of the Grey Nuns, a secretarian order, might be authorized to become the teachers of “ Protestant child. ren” in all parts of the State of New York. No other sects asks such a monopoly. Any other sect asking it would have been hooted ont of the Legislature. The Baptists asked, with great propriety, the innocent and the , praiseworthy privilege of consolidating two of their societies into oue, and Gov. Tilden put his veto on the harmless bill. He sigued your sectarian bill to make it a law—a law which unless repealed promptly by the coming Legis~ ture, and with the approbation of Gov. Tilden, will be afterwards repealed in the midst of sucha moral and political earth- quake as nevtr shook the Empire State before. . “ Never made the slightest effort to get hold of the edication of Protestant child~ ren.” Why, you have done little else. Your nunneves, convents, schools, are filled with the children of silly Protes- tants, deceived by your advertisements, cajoled by your false promises. And what you are doing in your Church in- stitutions, you now propose to do by your Grey Nuns and their emissaries, under sanction of State law, in all the towns where the trained teachers of your sect can get hold of Protestant children. These are afew of the proofs that you are trying to do the very thing you dis- claim, and thatyou are true to nothing but to the character of thorough Je- Buils. A DOUBLE FATAL DUEL. A Frightful Scene in a Tenement THouse. About 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon some inmates of the tenement house No. 106 Delancy street, heard several pistol shots and a noise which they guessed to be that of a scuffle between two men in the back room on the top floor of the house, and at onee sent word to the tenth precinct station house, in Eldridge street, of the occurrence. Officers Heuken and Hughes were dispatched to the house, and proceeding up four flights of stairs, they attempted to open the door of the back ruom. ‘They found it locked, how- ever, and Officer Henken applied his shoulder to it with without effecting his purpose. He procured a batchct, and by a powerful blow forced it open a Jittle ways, but it immediately closed again, as though something were leaning agaiust it. He again put his shoulder to it, and at last succeeded in opening it, pushing with it, as he did so, some heavy obstacle. Upon stepping into the room a_ ghastly spectacle met his view. ‘I'uere he beheld two men, both apparently lifeless, lying on the floor, each grasping firmly in his right band a Colt’s revolver. ‘The officers at once began to examine the bodies. One was that of a man about forty years of age, and five feet six inches in height, quite well dressed in dark clothes. This man had fallen with bis knees against the door opening into the hall, and was bleed. ing profusely froma terrible shot wound in the right temple, the blood completcly covering bis face and head. He was in- sensible but not dead. The pistol clasped in his hand was found to have been dis- charged four times. It was subscquently ascertained that his name was Mores Piskiel. The othor man, Joseph Golds man, who appeared to be somewhat young- er and smaller than Piskicl, was lying on his back in front of the stove, not six foct from Piskiel, dead, though his body was still warm. ‘I'wo frightful wounds were seen on his head, one over the right tem- ple and one on his right check, Lis head was almost FLOATING IN A POOL OF BLOOD. Aud he, too, was bleeding when the offi- cer arrived. It was with difficulty that the pistol was released from his death grip, and when it was examined it was found to have been fired five times. There was eo much blood on the floor, which was bare, that it began to soak through, and soon became visible on the eciling of the room beneath. Officer Hughes immediately sent for an ambu- lance, in which Piskiel was conveyed to the tenth precinct station house where he was examined, avd pronounced mortally wounded, by Surgeon Ensign. He waa then replaced in the ambulance, and star- ted for Bellevue Hospital, but the unfor. tunate man died before he reached the hospital. : Moscs Piskicl, of No. 19 Essex street, and Joseph Goldman, of No. 100 Hester street, both Jews, were partners in a jews elry business at No. 56 East Broadway. On Monday night Goldman met a friend named Dauiel Pearlson, also a Jew, at At- Jautic Garden, ia the Bowery, and told the latter that if he did not object, he (Gold- mau) would like to sleep at his fricnd‘s house that night. Pearlsoa agreed, and together they went to No. 106 Delan- cey street, where Pearlson resided. In the morning the host was requir- ed to leave the house early, so gave the key of the room in charge of his guest. Some timeafter Goldman went to his house in Hester street, where an- other Jew friend named Kirstien gave him alady’s gold watch chain to be re~ paired. After that time nothing could be ascertained in regard tg his whereabouts until be was found dead by Officer Hugh- es, at which time the chain, $4 60 in cur- rency and some private papers were on his person. Both pistols were seven barrelled and new. The whole affair is as yet SHRQUDED IN MYSTERY. As it was not possible te find ont on give to all their pupils certificates of king we sball have done our duty as Nalista, it ghig article set our political scientists a- ) qualification to be teachers of common been liviag, nor could it be ascertained ‘SALISBURY, WG, what terms with each other the men had ! peste how Piskiel. hs . 106 Delancy street, (2% rounding circumsta ver, it seems safe to assume that thet met by arrangement to fight 2 I, with the doubly fatal event vi de 3 A Brave Man, —- Sir Charles and riding one evening 4 summit of the Mahabl had just set, the hway bordered on the side by ju the other by a deep pregipi bye, turning to his wife “tad but yet quietly, he desires at full specd to the sekd some pack tot where she had left him, and he furthermore bade el not to ask him the reason why he sent er. She obeyed in silence—but then she knew her husband. Yet it was no slight trial of her courage as well as of ber obe- dience, for the way was lonely, and beset with many possible perils; but she rode boldly and rapidly forward, and gains ed a village a few miles distant in safcty. Vhe party whom she then diepatched and accompanied met Sir Charles, how- ever, about a mile from the place, follow- ing in his lady’s track; and he then ex- ‘plained the reason of his strange and un- questionable demand. Ife had seen, as they slowly walked their horses, first a pair of fiery eyes gleam at them from th jungle, aud then the head of a full-grown tiger. THe was sure, if they both rode on, that the terri- ble beast, following the instinct of its na-< ture, would give chase; aud he feared, it Lady Napier knew the dreadful peril at hand, that she might be so startled as to be unable to make an effort to escape; or at least, that she would not consent to his own judicious plan, and leave him alone with the danger. So he tested her obedience, as we have seen, successfully. He remained him- self, with only his holster pistols, con- frouting and controlling the monster with the steady, unflinching glance of his eagle eye, and aftcr a short gaze, and a muttering growl, the tiger turned back into the jungle, leaving him free te follow his wife. —_—-—~+< The Wrongs of the Red Man. The long scries uf wrongs heaped upon the aborigines of America ever since the discovery and settlement of this country has nothing more heartless or pathetic than the story of the Temecula Indians of California, We are accustomed to speak of the cruelty and treachery of the savage, says the New York Herald, bat the avarice and inhumanity of the white man are even more prominent features in American history. In a little more than two centuries the natives have been driven from the Atlantic to the Rocky mountains and tribes as countless as the leaves of the forest reduced toa mere handfnl of half-starved wretches.— The brave is no longer a warrior, but a ‘loafing aud treacherous murderer, and the Indian has no rights anywhere. If he refuses to gu upon a reservation neces- sity requires that he shall be extermina- ted. Ifthe puts himself under the fos» teriug care of the whites, he is sure to be robbed first and allowed to starve after- ward. Go where he will, “civilization,” in one form or another, is sure to follow him and tooppress him. To this fate the Teme-~ cula Indians are no exception. Indeed, the story of their misfortunes is one of the most pathetic of the whole series. A hundred years ago their children swarmed on the Pacific coast. Now they are re- duced to a beggarly five thousand. ‘Chen the whole land was theirs. Now there is not a foot of ground they can call their own. Retreating before advancing civil- ization, they at last settled down among a cone of the San Bernatdino mountains; but the white man from over the scas coveted the spot for a sheep pasture, and the native is uot even Jeft room enough to etarve without disturbance. One French- man and two Scotchmen bave ousted the original lords of the soil, and their sheep grazo iu the Indian’s last retreat. =< ——————__—_ Live Stock.

From its behavior in the late severe drought, I think it will prove a sure cheap forage crop of quality as to life-sustaining prox perties in the Middle and Southern States, and may occupy the position of fodder corn soiling North.

A correspondent traveling through Alpine Savoy, writing of the great glacier of 'I're la 'I'ete, says: In one place it was as a huge sea, frozen at the moment of its grandest swell and sweep. In another part it resembles marble moun~ tains with vast quarriels. There were quantities of great stones in some places that held enormous bits of rock crystal ; these stones are hurled down by spring avalanches. Harnish and the guides at one lime went off to hunt some crystals ; gradually one by one they disappeared behind the icy peaks of the glacier, and fora little 1 was entirely alones T'he solitude was very strange and at the same time delightfal. ‘here was a profocnd silence. I could see chalets and cattle pasturing on far-off mountain slopes, and below me goats were browsing on the peaks of Tre la Tete. But I can form no idea of distance except by the deep silence aboutme. I could see the pastoral slopes and summits of Mr. Joly; the peaks of Bonbomme and Bontemme ; the beaatiful mountain Josalette, and many other peaks around and beyond the glacier. But every objcct near at hand was go un-~ natural that 1 seemed to be on another planct.

Juggernaut, says the Pall Mull Gas zette, seems to be in abad way in India owiug to the dilapidation of his pagoda at Poorce. An immense block of stone fell the other day from the central dome of the temple. It is fortunate that no one was killed, for the stone, it is stated, is ten fect long, five broad, and four in depth, and belongs to the inner cornice of the temple. ‘The damage is impercepte ible to the eye, owing to the intense dark- ness in the interior of the edifice, but the fall of the stone isa serious matter for Juggernaut for this reason: ‘There is, it seems, a prophecy that when the first stone is unfastencd the temple shall not stand. ‘I'he repairs, it is estimated by the Oriaks, will take at least fourteen years to complete, aud during all this time no public worship or festiyal in Pooree is allowable, It is, however, not surprising that the temple is a little out of repair, for it was built by Rajah Anan- gabhima Deva, of Orissa, in the middle of the twelvth century, and during the last seven hundred years not a trowel has been laid upon it for the purpose of re- pair. ‘I'he dome is composed of immense blocks of stove, not kept together by ce- ment or mortar of any hind, but made fast by an elaborate process of dovetailing, the slabs being arranged in horizontal layers narrowing toward the end, covered by a huge headpiece carved and orna- mebted, ——_~<>>————__—_——_ Hoxrness. — Holinees of life is not an indifferent thing.

Dr. Spal- ding, of this city, says: wish to write you this morning @ truthful account of a tragedy which transpired here a few days ago. . There is a wealthy farmer living three miles below Kimball, on the west side of the Brazos river, near Powell Dale church. His name is G. D. Greer.

She joined the Baptist church last summer. She was, in fact, everything that any man could wish in a daughter. About 12 months ago a distant rel- ative of Capt. Greer’s first wife (the girls were children of a second mar- riage) Robert Simms, a young man, a stock raiser, passed through here on his way to Colorado, to which place he was driving his herds.- Stopping among his relatives, he became enam- ored with Miss Greer.

She probably loved him, as perhaps any sweet girl eighteen years of age would love a handsome, fear- less, rich young man who might court her love. And yet she feared him, for he had killed a man in a difficulty, so it is said,.in the southwest part of the State. He went away, however, wearing her ring and she wearing his. He kept up a correspondence with one of her uncles, to whom he seemed to be very much attached. Eight months ago, a young, good- looking, tall, egotistic, self-reliant Baltimore chap secured board at Es- quire Lane’s (seven miles below the home of Captain Greer, the father of Miss eral and commenced the practice of physic. He met Miss Greer, courted her in that (to the ladies) irresistible manner for which he was just fitted. They became engaged, and were to be married on the 11th of November, 1875. Sat- urday morning, October 23, Miss Greer came to town to make some minor purchases for the occasion. Her father had gone with his cotton crop to Dallas, and was to return that evening. He was bringing her bridal outfit. On the Thursday before, Bob Simms returned, haying received a letter from his uncle stating that Miss Greer was soon to be married. He called on Miss Greer, found out the state of her feeling, chided her, told her they were made for each other, and that no other man should ever claim her as wife. Saturday morning he gave a friend, with whom he was staying, a letter from his sister, saying, “Answer this letter to-morrow if I do not return. I am going up to Capt. Greer’s, and if I never return wind up my busi- ness.” He went over, called for Miss Willie, who was with her mother and Dr. Frazer, her betrothed, in the sit- Simms asked Miss Willie to walk with him in the garden ; she declined. He then asked her to walk out on the back porch, as he wished to have a good-bye chat with her. She went out on the back gallery ; he followed, pulling the door to after him. The mother heard them conversing and heard him say: “And vou are the cause of it;” heard her sob; heard her say: “O, don’t do that, Bob” Then bang! bang! bang! went his six shooter; then a pause, then bang again. The mother threw open the door. There lay her beautiful dangh- ter dead on the gallery, One shot entered near the hears (the first I think) one entered the left eye and came out at the back of the head, the other entered the centre of the fore- head and came out also at the back of the head. He must have supported {her with his left hand while shouting her. Near her lay Robert Simms. The fourth shot he had fired through his own head, from back to front. The doctor ran out, turned the murderer’s horse loose, and ran to the next house to geta gun. A runner was sent to meet her father, who was a few miles off on the Dallas road, coming home.

J. J. SFEWART. The retirement of Mr..SrewarT from the position of Associate editor of this paper is a loss which no one will feel more than we. For more three years he has borne the brunt, the wear and tear, of the editoral work on this paper, relicving us almost entirely of any concetn or anxiety about it. Those who wear the harness understand the value of the service rendered. In resuming the Jabor which he has resigned, even with all our practical done with acquaintance, it is misgivings and self-distrust. We stand on the threshold like a fellow who is obliged to take waterona cold day—lingering, shiv- “PRO “a of th “ tlonal Conyention A the Action of the “ Revolutionary Majority of that Body.” It is a matter of common remark, that when Southern men, with the mannets and reputa-| tion of gentlemen, abandon the political prin- ciples and associations to which they have adhered from chitdhood, andattach themselves to the Republican party, immediately a change is wrought in their character and conduct ; and they gradually lose not only the esteem and friendship of their former associates, but also their own self-respect, together with ‘the good opinion of their new friends. And this must necessarily be the case when men change their principles and politics from motives of self-in- terest alone, and not on account of eonscientious convictions. We do not mean to say that when a Soutbern man becomes a Republican he therefore ceases to be a gentleman—we are not so uncharitable and narrow-minded. And besides, we know Republicans who are gentle- men, In most instances, however, within our own observation where men have left old as- gociations and joined the Republican party their conversion has been sudden and their mo- tive sselfish and transparent. And such men nearly always excuse themselves by saying to those whom they have left—often privately and confidentially—that although they have joined the Republican party and are Repnblicans in pame, they have not reaily changed their sen- timents, and that their course has been dictated entirely by motives of policy and expediency.— We leave it to moralists and casuists to say whether men with such loose principles can be entirely truthful, honest and upright. ve know, certainty, that “evil communications corrrupt good manners’”—-and that “men are known by | joan Delegetes to the Constito- | ine eb: , Weare sure > eito- j eriny on the bank Ve are sure the edito | the company they keep”—and those who are oe tia ait et vn @. andsaot slice: @ : a rial dutics will not be so handsomely nor s0} pong in bad company have no good reason to ably performed a3 under Mr, Stiwart’s di- ; ; complain if they shall be unfairly and harshly rection; but we trust they will be found | judged on that account.

We have been lead into this train of thought | by reading the‘'Protest” of the Repnblican‘dele- gatestu the Constitutional Convention against | the action of that body ; and we now purpose to {consider and to make some comments upon that -‘Protest.’—The copy before us is publish- led in the “Wilmington Post? of the 12th inst. | and purports to be signed by forty nine Repub- | lican delegates, among whom areO.

We are thorough- lly persuaded, that most of these gentlemen de- clined to sign the “protest” because they felt, ‘that as honorable and fair-minded men they | could not consistently attach their signatures to ‘such a libellous document. | The 49 “protestants” are the same class of men, who during the campaign last summer aolemnly declared, that the friends of Conven- | tion and Constitutional reform were vile con- | apirators against the peace and prosperity of | the State—that if the Democrats controlled the | Convention they would deprive the people of | their homesteads, and would be guilty of the | most dreadful enormities &c. &c. &c.—It is not lat all surprising, that men who were capable, ) anc only last summer, of knowingly and wickedly uttering and circulating such untrue statements should a few weeks later, after the Convention “protest” | against its action, full of abuse, | misrepresen- tation, and malice. The 49 delegates, whose | names are signed to the “protest,” profess to vive seventeen different “reasons” for protesting “against the right, authority, and action of the Convention imposing to alter Constitution of North Carolina.” We will state substantially each of these “reasons” |had completed its Inhors, sign a or objections, and will answer them one by one. Protestation or objection 1. That'the Conven- tion was culled withont the wish of the people, and in opposition to their will. The people had but recently declared themselves opposed to the alteration of the fundamental law by the Conventional method, and soon thereafter had endorsed the amendment of the same by Legis- lative enactment. Consequently, the call of the Convention, without submitting the question to the people, though leyal in form, was in spirit and effect revolutionary ; a usurpation of power and an attempt to foist upon the people the domination of an unscrupuious party under the specious watchward of ‘ Constitutional Reform.” Answer: Th “Protestant” well know that the existing Constitution of the State, Art. | XIII, sec. 1, authorizes, in express terms, a | Convention to be called by a two-thirds vote of each House of the General Assembly without + submitting the question to the people and | | that it does not authorize a Convention to be | cal The people of this | State have neverdeclared themselves to be op- | posed to the “Conventional method” of chang- | ing the Constitution, The call of a Convention lin 1871 voted down, because the ac- tion of the Legislature did not receive the concurrence of two-thirds ofall the members of each House, as required by the Constitution— and because the people doubted whether they had any right to vote at the polls upon the question ; and because the people were alarmed and terrified by threats of Federal interference. The peopleare in favor of Constitutional re- form and will vote for all judicions Constitu tional amendments, whether submitted by a Legislature or by a Convention. But the Re- publican party is opposed to amending the Constitution either by Legislative enactment or by a Convention. If the people could have been permitted to vote for all the amendments adopted by the Legis!ature in 1872 they would have ratified them by overwhelming majori- ties, and the late Convention would not have been called nor needed. But the Republicans in the Legislature of 1872~73 voted against a tasjority ef these amendments, being afraid to trust the people. The assertion that the Con- yertion was called for the purpose “of foisting upon the people the domination of an unscrup- ulous party” is simply false. If the “‘protest- } led in any oher way. was raington we can reach all parts of the woud with ag much ease and as expedi-~ tously as from any other point on the Aclautic coast.

It being admitted by the Republican “protestants” that the action of the Legislature in calling the Convention was constitutional and lawful, the barge of oop.: Objection secorid.—Because, “if, the ait which preceded the election. of delegates, the ‘ le wasjsquarely made on the -b ing and before the people-as to whether such ‘Conven- tion was pécessary or desirable; and the; voters of thé State,\ bya large majority, declared against such Convention. Because a majority of the delegates actually elected were opposed to the action of the Legislature in calling the Convention, and because the Republican min- ority on the floor of the Convention represented a majority of at least six thousand of the qualified voters of the State. Answer. The question whether there shou'd be a Convention was not submiticd to the peo- ple and theréfore the voters of the State could not have decided against having a Convention. There is no evidence that a majority of the delegates elected were opposed to thecall. On the contrary it is well known that a number of Republican delegates not only refused to pledge themselves to vote to adjourn, but also promised their constituents to vote in the Convention for Constitutional Reform. It is therefore not true that a majority of the voters of the State ag represented in the Convention were opposed to amending the Constitution. It is also to be noticed, that there was no question before the people to test the strength of parties in the State. In some democratic counties, where the ordinary majority was large, there was a very light votc, there being no incentive to bring out a full vote. The proper time totest the rela- tive strength of those who favor and those who oppose Constitutional Reform in the State will be when the amendments proposed by the late Convention shall be voted upor. in November 1876. Objection third. Because the Telegates from Robeson county are well known to haye been fraudulently returned, and the seat of the dele- gate from Surry was contested “on the ground of legal votes unlawfully rejected and illegal votes unlawfully received by the judges of elec- tien.’ And that no efforts were made to inves- tigate the truth of these allegations. But for the votes of these three men, the Convention would have returned the Constitution to the people unchanged to have its defects eliminated by the safe and deliberate methud of Legisla- tive enaciment. Answer. There was no evidence before the Convention that the delegates from Nobeson county had been fraudulently returned, and if the delegate from Surry was elected by fraudu- lent votes, it could have been shown. The delegates from Robeson and Surry countics held certificates of their election, jv « like the other members of the Convention, sad it was the duty of those contesting their seals to make good their claims by sufficient legal proof. It was reported tlrat the delegates from Wayne and Mecklenburg—Republicans—were elected by illegal votes, but that is no reason why they were not entitled to sit and vote in the Conyen- tien} until their seats were vacated. The as- sertion that the Convention would have ad- journed sine die, on the first day of the session, if the Republicans had beenin the majority, without attempting to do anything whatever, will not be believed for an instant by any in- telligent person. Certainly, there was very lit- tle talk of that kind among Republicans, when they thought they would secure the organiza- tion of the Convention. Thestatement that no efforts were made by the Convention to inven- tigate the contested elccticn cases, is simply un- true. Objection fourth. Because the Democratic Commissioners of Robeson county rejected the voies of four townships, thongh the same were dufy returned by th 2 judges of election duly appointed to hold the same. .\ Democratic sheriff certified to the fraudulent action of the Commissioners. The Democratic majority in the Convention thus fraudulently constituted persistently neglected and refused to inves- tigate the fraud. Answer, There was no evidence before the Convention to show that the action of the Com- missioners of Robeson county was improper, nor that the contestants received a majority of the legal votes of Robeson gounty, The in- eumbents alleged, that trey received a majority of the legal votes. They also alleged, that the contestants had not given them the notice re- quired by law to be given in cases of contested elections. Furthermore, that at Burnt Swamp, Smith’s, Britts and Biue Spring precincts 85 illegal votes were cast for contestants, and that at Burnt Swamp precinet there were S90 more votes given than there were registered voters, cand that the poll books from the four precinets above named were never returned as the law required, and that they were not to be found. The incumbents did not shun an investigation and always said, that a fair and impartial in- vestigation wasthe very thing they wanted. The contestants never took a particle of testi- mony. They never urged an_ investigation. Atany time afer the Committee on elections was appointed they could have had a Commis- sioner authorized to go to Robeson county and investigate the whole matter, but this they did not want. They were extremely anxious to have the seats of the incumbents declared va- cant and to be sworn in in their stead. Butthey wished and seemed to expect, that the Conven- tion would do all this as a matter of course without hearing any evidence. The Convention was in session only thirty-six days, and nota single contested election case was decided. In ordinary times it usually takes at least six weeks to decide such a case. And it would have been exceedingly strange, if the Conven- tion, with the business before it and with the number of cases before it, requiring investiga- tion, had been more prompt in disposing of such cases than usual. There were at least thirty-two officeholders sitting as delegates inthe Convention. Their elegibility as déle- gates had to be investigated. The contestants from Robeson county were members of the Legislature, and even if the incumbents had been unseated, it is doubtful whether the former would have been legally entitled to seatsin the Convention. Ifthe Democrats had chosen to act the character of “unscrupulous partisans,” they would have summarily turned out all the office-holders, twenty-five of whom, or three- fourths, were Republicans. That they were ineligible seems to have been the common opinion. And in our view of the mat- ter, it is certain they were ineligible, if the re- strictions, imposed on the Convention, were legal and binding. Objection fifth. _ Because the delegates from Robeson county have been permitted to defeat the investigation of the fraud by which they held their seats by voting in their own interest, upon questions affecting their own cases. Answer. They never voted to hinder or de- feat an investigation of their claim to their seats. Their votes were invariably according to the rules of the Convention and parliamentary apiracy ts rimply ridiculous, 4 usage. They never gave 8 yote upon any ques- , a ghis to seats in the Con- vention. OMe oy . —< Objection sixth,, Because the Convention was operated solely nea party. machine. Ques- tions of im were Tushed 40 a vote without allowing more than twenty minutes for their consideration. In order to obtain a brief impatient hearing upon the gravest questions, the minority were driven to adopt the dilatory motions known to parliamentary law, ‘Aswer, That the Democratic majority did not act in a partisan manner, the amendments proposed by them to the-people abundantly prove. The minority was treated with the utmost courtesy and consideration, until, with- out any proyocation whatever, they inangurated an infamous system of “‘filibustering,” for the purpose of killing time and retarding business. The pretext,alleged for such conduct was be- cause the Convention would not vacate the seats of two Demoerats from Robeson county and give their places to two Republicans, re- gardiess of all reason, law and evidence. Af ter beginning such a warfare, the Republicans ought not to complain, if they were worsted in the fight. As they gave no quarter, they ought not to have expected to receive any. But far more courtesy was shown them than they de- served, Objection seventh. Because «almost every act of the Convention was in direct subversion of the rights of the people, designed to take away the power from the many and vest it in the few. Answer. This is not frue. The whole ten- dency of the proposed amendments is to in- crease the power of the people and not to abridge any of their rignts or privileges. Objection eighth. To give the Legislature power to establish Courts at will ia to ipangur- ate a chaos, Which wiil bring prosperity only to the lawyer, and only to him at a necdless ex- pense of the people. Answer. Our former system of Courts work- ed well ; our pregent system is almost as bad as bad can be. The Legislature ought to have the power to regulate the jurisdiciion of the several Courts. Being directly elected by and. responsible to the people, there is no danger of that body running counter to their wishes and prejudices. Objection ninth, The 49 delegates protest against the destruction of the Courts of Justice of the Peace and against leaving it in the pow- er of the Legislature to create other Courts in their stead. Answer. The Convention did nothing of the kind. ‘jection tenth. The Legislature ought not to have the power to elect Justices of the Peace and the Judges of the Inferior Courts, and the of terms these functionaries ought not to have been extended to eight years. Answer. The Justices of the Peace wil! be elected in the sume manner they are now until the of county Government shall be changed. What that change shall be and when, will depend upon the people them- selves. There is no danger of the Legislature disregarding the wishes of the people. The Legislature is authorized to create other Courts whole system inferior to the Supreme Court, but until such Courts shall be created and their jurisdiction defined, it is impossible to speculate much up- on the matter. easionally, the sessions of our Saperior Courts, knows that other Courts are needed. The Con- vention did not prescribe how the Presiding officers and Clerks of these inferior Courts shall be elected, but only that the Legislature shall not be authorized to provide that tgey Any one who attends, even oc- shall be elected fur alonger period than eight] years. ‘This is no than the Legislature has under the present Constitution with regard to the creation of “Special Courts”; for the officers and Clers of such Courts may now be elected by the Legislature for life. But if the amendments shall be ratified, this power of the Legislature to establish these “Special Courts” will cease greater power Objection eleventh. The Legislature should not have the power to establish one system of Courts in Currituck and another in Cherokee. Its only effect would be to confuse, delay and defraud the people and to enrich the lawyers, who are suffering from Icanness of purse under the present simple and easi?y understood sys- tem. Answer. The Legislature ought to have the power to establish such a system of Courts in each county as may be snited to the wants and convenience of the people, Lawyers flourish when the people prosper. There are Courts enough now for the lawyers, if they choose to them. are not tried, the people suffer wore than the Jawyers, In Rowan county at the last term oft he Superior Court there were enough cases on the criminal docket alone to have occupied the whole time o the Court, to the exclusion of the civil busi- ness. It will be news to all persons familiar with the proceedings of our Courts to Jearn that the present system is simple and easily understood. attend If cases Objection twelfth. The present Courts of Probate onght not to have been abolished. It is admitted that some formal changes therein may be expedient. Answer. The Courts of Probate, as jat pres- ent constituted, wil eontinue until the Legis- ture shall otherwise provide. he present Courts may be changed in some particulars or they may be abolished. But whatever is done cannot be accomplished without consulting the people, Legislators are not eager nor likely to run counter to the popular will. Objection thirteenth, The Legislature ought not to have the power to establish one system of county Government in one county and another in another. Answer. The Legilarture had this power under the old Constitution and no evil grew out of it. This power also belongs to the Legislative department in most of the States of the Uniou. Different counties frequently re- quire different systems of Government, owing to the differences in character, tastes, wealth, and pursuits of the people. Objection fourteenth. Because the power has been given to the Legislature to destroy the Township system. Qnswer. There is no objection to Townships —considered as Territorial districts simply: These districts will probably be retained ; but we can see no reason why Townships should be “ self-governing municipalities,” with unlimit- ed powers of taxation. The people do not wish to pay any more township taxes. And there will never be another such tax levied, if the proposed amendments shall be ratified. Objection 15, Beeause work which should have been done by the Convention bas been left to the Legislature—a body whose constitution is such as to defeat the will of the roajority, even though thitty thousand of the popular ypte are chosen by the people in the pamie way that the delegates to a, Conven ‘and are just as likely to be intelligent and patriotic. _ The Cényention didnot have time to de: anything, more than amend the Constitution. The de- tails of Legislation were very properly left to the wisdom arid discretion of the Legislatare. We do not believe any party will ever be able to command a majority in the Legislature, with 30,000 of the popular vote against them. it was believed that the Kadicals ‘when they framed the present Gonstitution in 1868 had so gerrymandered the State, that they would al ways be able to carry the Legislature, in spite of the will of a majority of the people. And yet when in 3870 the Democrats carried the State by a small majority, they also elected a large majority of the members of each House of the General Assembly. Objection sixteenth. Because the office of Lieutenant Governor has been abolished. Answer. This office. was not abolished, although it might have been with perfect pro- priety. Objection seventeenth, In conclusion, the forty-nine delegates “protest against the Con- stitution, spirit and action of the Convention.” Answer. This objection is two general to require an answer. If our readers will take the trouble to ex- amine the ordinances passed by the Conven- tion, and read them in connection with the “Protest,” they will be astonished to find that, although the Convention passed thirty-one separate ordinances, there ate only three of these, which the signers of thé “Protest,” with all their zeal and industry, have been able to single out as liable to objection. This is the highest compliment that could possibly be paid to the intelligence, patrigtisin and fidelity of the Convention. The lage majority of these ordinances are in themglves so unex- ceptionable, that numbers of Republican dele- gales were compelled to vote for them in the Convention. Oe — JuDGE CLoup.—We really regret to see that at least two ot thepublic journals in Judge Cloud’s District-the Salisbary Watelisan and Winston Sentinel—feel it a duty to speak in densncictory terms of Judge Cioud and his conduct as a man anda Judge. Wedo net at all doubt the statements of those papers, but it ia un- fortunate that auy one uf the Judges of our Superior Courts should act so unbe- coming in hia position as to merit the cen- gure of the public press. It lessens the respect of the people- for the Judiciary generally, and for the aciion and decision of our Courts, and even for the professors oflaw. uch Judicial officers aa Cloud and Watta should resign, and iu that way make some emall sacrifice for the sake of the hoaor ana zocd name of the North Carolina Judiciary. Withoat any per- sonal feeling in the matter, and as one who never assailed them, we hope they will take our advice and seaign their Jadgestips.—- Charlotte Democrat.

Tne Wilmington papera of the 14ib, report the proceedings of a meeiing veld on Saturday last between the Commis. sioners of the Western N. ©. Railroad and a portion of the business men cf Wil- mington, in the reading room of the Pur- cell House, which exuibit a liberality on the part of the merchauts and bankers of that city entitling them to the warm ¢8- tcem of the people of the West. The meeting was called by . Mayor Canady, himezelf one of the Commissiouera of the Road. It was addreased by Mr. Wm. Calder, of the firm of Kerchner & Calder Bros., who, after terms of welcome to gentlemen representing the West, and indulging a strain of pleasant humor, announced that the business genticmeu whom he represented, were determined that the Western N.C. R. R., should be finished, and that they had provided as- sistance for the co:npletion of three miles of it beyond Old Fort, But we will let Mr. Calder speak for biusself: “Ty this apirit, and learning that there are about three miles of your railroad which you and your people are especially auxious to complete, as they will take you over and beyond Dark Hollow Pull the worst of the wagon ros from Old Fort to Asheviile, —1 allude to that por- tion of the road from Old Fert to Matoue's ready for the iron—and learning also that your Commissiun are embarrassed for means to purchase the iron necessary, owing to the restrictions placed upon you by Legislative enactment; in this spirit, I say, and with an earnest desire to conviuce the people of your section of our hearty goodwill and co-operation in their cher- ished scheme, the merchaute, bankers and businees wen of Wilmington have come together, and by a anited effort Lave raised sufficient money to purchase iron for three wiles of railway immediately, aud have deputed me, through the com- mittee, to tender you the loan of this iron cnul euch time as your replenished coff- ers enables you to pay for it, or until the meeting of the Legislature, when such legislation can be had which will put it in your power to rep3y us, and push your road over and beyond the Blue Ridge.

Pearson also speke reiterating the sentiments uttered by Maj. Rollins. Col. Waddell was calied up by a seuti- ment delivered by Mr. Pearson. The meeting had brief responses to toast offerred from Alexander Sprunt, Mr. Kerchner, Capt. C. D. Myers, Dr. Rob- erts, Capt. J. B. Grainger, Maj. Engle hard, Col. 8. S. Freemont, Mr. Williams, of Asheville, &. &c. We rejoice at every indication pointing to the completion of the Western N. C. Rail Road, believing that that event will open a new and better era for both the Bast and the. West. “ >, ——__—~~ po Mr. Eprror:—It is not generally known how the greater nuinbers are imposed on by millers.

Politically, the Seuate will cousist of Re- Democrats have 173, the Republicans 108, of the House. The greatest excitement will be over the election of Speaker. It has been wasfelected. James L. Orr, of South Carolina (who lately died as Minister to Russia) was Dee. 1857, Speaker uf the House of Repre- sentative of the thirty-fifth Cougress; served until March 4, 1859. He was suc- ceeded by Williain Pennington, of New Jer- sey, who wes elected as a compromise Re- about eight weeks. On February 1, 1860, Galusha A, Grow, of Pennsylvania, was elected Speaker of the House of Representa- tives of the thirty-seveuth Gongress. which met July 4, 1861. He was succeeded by Schuyler Colfax, of Fudiana, for the thirty- eighth, thirty-niuth and fortieth Congresses. Aud Mr. Colfax was succeeded by James G. Blaine, of Maine, for the furty-first. forty- seoond and furty-third Congresses. The Democratic majority in the forty-fourth Con- gress is so large that there ig no doubt a straight-out Deinocrat will be elected Speak- er, The candidates for this position who have thus far beeu spoken of, are shiefly Messrs. Kerr, of Indiana; Randall, of Pennsylvania; Cox and Wood. of New York; Lainar, of Mississippi; and Walker, of Vir- ginia. Itis geuerally thought the place will be given to a man either from the North or West. Messrs. Kerr, IKandall and Wood seem to have the best chances. The Clerkship. The Clerk is the next most promi- nent officer of the House. His duties are ofvery great importance. By a law passed in 1867, when the Republican party were in very great terror of President John- son, the Cleik aloae is empowered to decide apoa the prima facie claim of a metber, andthere is no appeal from bis decision. The salary of the Clerk is $5000, per annum, with perquisites amounting to about $1,000 more. He gives bound in the suin of $20,000 for his disbursement of the contingent fund of the House. The Clerk has the appoint- ment of abuut seventy assistants clerks and messengers, whuse salaries range from $12,00 to $3,000, per anvum. Who will be the Clerk? There are numerous candidates for tbis po- sition, the nvst promivent of which are our distinguished Townsman, the Hon. Francis E. Shober; George M. Adams, of Kentucky; Stevenson Archer. of Maryland; A. D. Banks, of Mississip}:i; Thomas Whitehead | of Virginia; D. W. Dubose. uf Georgia; T. T. Gritenden. of Missouri and Ghas. A.

There is no one who would fill it with more ability, ease, fidelity and courtesy; and Mr.gShober has such polished manuers and popular ways abdut him, that he would give entire satisfaction to men of all parties and shades of politics. We be- lieve he is the strongest man the Southern members could unite upon. His election would do great houor to the Democratic par: ty of the country; aud would be peculiarly complimentary and gratifying to that. party in this State and to Mr. Shober’s numerous friends of both parties, not only in this State but throughout the Union. It is unnecessary to mention, that Mr. Shober has the cordial support of the entire North Carolina Demo- cratic delegation in Congress, and that they will use every honurable means to promote his election. He also has the moral support of the whole Democratic party in the State. As proof of this, we herewith ‘call attention to the following resolution uoanimously a- dopted by the Demoeratie members of the late Constitutional” Convention, and which was signed by all the sixty-one Democratic delegates in that body : *‘Resolved :—That the Democratic mem- bersof the Constitutional Convention of North Carolina, in full caucus assembled, an- animously present Hou. Francis E. Shober, to the Democratic members of the House of Representatives of the Congress of the Uni- ted States, as eminently qualified for the po- sition of Clerk of the House. That oar par- ty cheerfully recommend him to their favora- ble consideration, and bear testimony to his high moral character and unquestivuable abilities to discharge all the duties of said office. That his election would be recog - nized by the Democratie darty of this State as a compliment to the party, and one pecu- liarly gratifying” Any man with synch qualities and such tes- timonials deserves suecess, The old saying is, ‘that it is better to be burn lucky than rich.” We believe, that our friend, with all the other good things that are said of him, has the good fortune to have been born under a lucky star, and thatin this instance bis usual good luck will not Jesert him, and that he is going towin. We bid him God-speed !

The front is a wide deep apron, with the full- ness necessary for length laid in two folds high across the top. The back is a three cornered picee, pointed in shell ehape below, trimmed all‘around, and its fullness laid in easy plaits set on the sido of the front. The middle of this triangus lar breadth would not be long enough for the puffed look at the top of the back if it were sowed to the belt, hence it is sus- pended by a tape that is concealed under the two double box plaits thatits width ‘Fequircs. ee ee Cure for Love of Liquor. At a festival at areformatory institution recently, a gentleman said, of the cure of the use of intoxicating drinks: “I over. came the appetite by a reccipt given to mne by old Dr. Hatfield, one of those good old physicians who do not havea percent- age from a neigboriug druggist. The prescription ia simply an orange every morning balf an hour before breakfast. ‘Take that,’ said the doctor, ‘and you will neither want liqvor or medicine.’ I have done 60 regularly, and find that liquor has become repulsive. ‘I'he taste of the orange is in the saliva of my tongue, and it would be as well to mix water and oil agrum witl my taste.” a ee A Sullivan County girl says the reason why the boys are “kicked” so often by the girls is because so many of them have “kicked out of the plow handles, laid by the shovel and the hoo, and are trying to make inferior doctors, lawyers, preachers and school teachers, and others io sit under shade trees in lgrdly style and equirt tobacco juice freely but abso- lately do nothing useful. Go to work honestly says this irate maiden, and you will pot only have no cause to complain of peing kicked, but may find worthy wives who will make you helpmates for your benefit and who will seck to make you happy. ep ENGLAND AND Ecypt.—The English occupation of hgypt, says the Pall Mall Gagette, “is only a question of time, as that step is necessary for the preservation ef our lidian Empire.” Perhaps, then, phe loss of the Indian Empire is only a geestion of time. Also, if Russia does not gonsent to the Egyptian occupation and Prasia waits on Russia’s will in this case, as she seems likely to, it will not be a pleasant trip; for if England goes to Egypt on thiserand no French army will go with her. She will hardly cut a thhawdsome figure going out alone to whip iigypt, ltnseia aud Prussia; and it might proye that another question of time would be ®6me fighting nearer home.

Added to this, it is a vice 80 mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.” ® ——~ <> An Important Temperance Mecting.— Raleigh Council No. 227, Friends of ‘Temperance, will hold its recond meeting at the Mayor’g office at 7} o'clock this evening. ‘This Lod reorganized on Saturday evening arse the most favor- able auspices and with very flattering prospects. ‘here are on the roll at pres- ent over forty of the leading citizons of Raleigh, and some sixty morc have assent- ed their willingnees and purpose to join tonight. ‘I'he object of the meeting to- night is to receive new members and also to receive the reports of several im- portant committees appointed at the last meeting. Let every one favorable to the good cause turn out and thereby encourage the young men who will join in large num. bers.— News. oe Tite Garpens of Morocco.—The groves of rose-trees and the flower farms of Morocco are said by a recent traveler to excced in extent thoso ef Damascus, or even those of the valley of Mexico.— The general climate of the country is very favorable to this kind of culture.— Swept alternately by the breezes of the Atlantic and Mediterranean, and tempered by the snows of the Atlas ranges, the degree of heat in Moroeco is much lower than in Algeria, while the soil is exceed ingly fertile. ‘I'o the date palm, and to orange and lemon trees, the climate appears to be especially suited, the dates of Tailfat having been famous even from Roman times. ‘Tho orange plantations are of very great extent in various parts of the coantry, while olives and almonds are also staples exported in large quanti- ties. Seeing that this fertile land, within five day’s steam of London, prodnecs go much vegetable wealth under the most barbarous cultivation, it appears extras ordinary that European enterprise does not, in such a climate, seek profitable employment for its oversabundant capital initsapplication to the development of such vast resources so closo at hand, ins stead of going to £0 far afield as Australia or America. _———_22e—______.. The Wheat Weevil. H. P. F., Wayne county, N. Y., sends to the Z'imes a kernel of wheat containing an insect, which he discovered working its way ont. He writes, “if worthy of notice, let us hear about it.” Reply.—This is the grain weevil which is 80 destructive in granaries, and wheat bing in mills, Itis tho larva of a small beetle known as Calandria granaria, of Linneus. Tho beetle is a rod insect, about one-eighth of an inch long, which subsists upon wheat. The female depos- its her eggs upon the wheat, after it is housed. The young grubs, immediately after they are hatehed, burrow into the grain and devour the heart. One grub only inhabits each grain. The hole by which the grub enters is very small, and it is only by the lightoess of the grain that the damage can bo easily perceived. In time the mature beetle js produced, and emerges from the grain. The remedy is to keep the windows of the mills or granaries covered with very fine wire gauze; to swecp out all loose grain from the bins every season; to scald the corners and cracks of the bins with boiling hot lye, and to allow no rubbish to accumulate in which the beetles ma hide. Sometimes a barn or mill be- comes so infested with weevils that grain cannot be stored in them without destrues tion. e—_ So Tweep's FattHrun Wire.—They were married when the man was a chair maker, and they might have had a happy career had the former remained honest. ‘They lived in plain manner, mingled with mechanics’ society, and were the parents of two boys and two girls, good looking and healthy children, The era of the metricions splendor has come and - gone like a dream. The two sons once held fine appointments in the service of the ring, but they are now only lounging around the City Hall. The mother is in widow’s desolation. The ill-gotten wealth is almost gone. A million and a half has passed into the hands of her lawyers, and ber husband is still a prisoner. “A seedy and corpulent old man, inbabiting a pair of rooms in Ludlow Street Jail, is all that is left of one who has been alderman, Congressman, chair-maker, and law er, commissioner of parks, public buildings and docks, State Senator, and for seven years the autocrat of this city.

Among the many things never to bo forgottoa she said ; “Father, you know I professed religion when I was young, very young —some thought toe young—but oh, how I wish that I eould tell Sreer ety what a comfort it is to me now to think of it.” Reaching out her hand—the fingers al- ready cold—and grasping mine, she said with great earnestness: ‘Father, you are at work for the young. Do all you can for them while they are young. It.is the best time—the best time. Oh, I see it now as I never did before. It is the best time —while they are young—the younger the better—do all you can for them — while they are very young.”—Christian Instructor. - <2 A Woman Amputates her Hus- band’s Leg. The Cleaveland, Ohio, Leader, of Mon- day, tells the follwing: ‘Yesterday after- noon a man who, with bia family, lives near the corner of Williams alley and Fountain street, got into a quarrel with his wife. Both were intoxicated, but in- stead of feeliug happy, it affected them just the opposite. ‘I'hey tore each other’s hair, and raised such a rumpus generally, that the neighbors sent for some of the boys at the enginehouse to go down and stop the disturbance. Some of them did go down, but whenthey got there the trouble had subsided, As the sequel will show, however, it was not so peaceful as itseemed. The woman succeeded in get- ting her lord and mastcr to bed. Her next move was to geta bottle of chloro~ form which was near at hand, and ad- ministering a dose to her husband, which made him wholly oblivious to what was going on around him. The next act was to procure an old saw, with which she proceeded todoa job in surgery that would pat a professional surgeon to blush. Beginning at the lower end of the man’s leg, ehe commenced sawing until she had severed that useful appendage in twain. He totally unconscious of what was going on, slept on ‘the sleep of the innocent,’ while she, after the job was doue, looked on, watching his bivod flow. The neigh- bors outside got word of what was going on ihside the house, and rushed in, iu time to stop the bleeding, but at last ac< counts it was questionable whother the man would live or not.” —_ re SD Human Saliva Kills Snakes. The Marietta (Ga.) Journal was told by a gentleman the other day that human spittle was as deadly to poisonous snakes as their bites were deadly to man. Ho says while picking up a bundle of straw and trash under his arm, while cleaning a ficld, a ground: rattlesnake, four feet long, crawled out from it and fell to the ground at his fect. Ie at once placed his heel on tho head of the snake and spit in its mouth. Shortly afterward the snake showed symptoms of inactivity and sickness, and he picked it up by its tail and carried it to the house and showed it to his wife, telling her he had spit in its mouth and that it was poisoned. At the expiration of fifteen minutes the snake was dead. To further experiment, he came across a blowing adder (suake,) which ejected from its mouth a yellowish liquid. Hecaught it and spit in its mouth, and it died. Hoe caught another blower, and it refused to open its mouth. He spit upon a stick and rubbed tho srit- tle upon the adder’s nose, and it died. Afterward be camo across a black snake regarded as not poisonous, and he caught it and spit in its mouth. Instead of the spittle killing the black snake, as it did the poisonons reptiles, it only made it stupidly sick, from which it recovered. This conclusively shows that poisonous snakos have as much to fear from tho spittle of man as man has to fear from their bites. Care of the Eyes, Diseases of the eyes are very provas lent, owing to the abuses to which they are subjected ; and as weak cycs can never be handsome or pleasing, wo desire to give our readers a few hints upon preserving their strength. It is very in- jurious to sit directly in front of a window, or to use a desk or table so ‘situated that you are brought in such a position; for the rays of light strike directly upon tho pupil of the eye, and cause an unnatural and forced contraction of them, which will soon injure the sight permanently. Place your chair near the window when writing, reading or working, and sit in such @ manner that your eyes turn from and not toward the light, and let it strike on your left hand, leaving the right hand furtherest from it; or else have the window at your back or above you, and thea the light will illuminate the paper or work, and will not shine too abruptly upon the eyeball, Many young persons have nearly ruined their sight by not at- tending to these simple directions. An-~ cther thing needful is, never read when twilight approaches—as soon as the light fades put away all work. This is all- important ; drawing nearer the light to read “just one page more,” or take “just a few more stitches,’ has proved to the greatest injury to thousands of our boys and girls. When the eyes are washed, as they should be, in warm water every night and morning, wipe them with a soft towel, gently rabbing them toward the nose. Do not rub them toward the temples, as it injures their delicate construction. ‘The mechanism of the eye is the most com-~ plicated and wonderful construction, aud it is well for every person to fully com- prebend it, and then thoy will be able to take care of it. The expression of our eyes is a great deal under our own cone trol. To usit gives the power to make them soft, gentle and loving, or sharp, cross and ugly, as wecultivate our disposi- tion ; for the eye is the index of the heart, and out of its depths look the swect Pass | sions of the goul ar the. reverse, | good ass one. €, Be utr piles drhsic ee 4 large slee shost deiteatle: and children should never be tucked “away in’ small unventilated rooms. im ing room, well ventilated, is POSTERS, PROGRAMMES, Giveulars, Ce bes.

ARTIFICIAL Hongycoms Founpa+ TIONS, prepared by Mr. John Long, a woll known apiculturist of N.

Tt has been estimated that the actual cost fo. a pound of comb is equivalent, at least, to that of twenty-five pound of bon- ey; and beekeepers cannot, without con- siderable loss, afford to melt down any combs that can be used to advantage. Mr. Long makes comb foundations of pure bleached wax, and from these the ieee raise their cells on an amouut of feed which ordinarily would not induce them to build comb at all. The foundations, it is said, make Ie delicate guide. They are very easily *fasteued in the boxes, and honey stored in them has been ship- ped long distances without damage either through leakage or fracture, and the bees sccm to like the improvement. Thus even the hoaey bee has become the patron of a patented invention.

Instead of appearing suddenly and rebuking him for hia theft, a8 another would, the crafty old gentleman gave the thief his change as if notbing had bap- pened, and then, under pretense of lifting the bag to lay it on bis horse for him, took hold of it and exclaimed : “Why, bless me, I muet bave reckoned the weight wrovg.” “Oh, no,” rephed the other, ‘“‘yoa may be sare you have not, for I counted with ou.” Well, well, we won't dispute, the mat- ter it is easily tried,” said Mr.S., putting the bag ivto the scales again. “There,” said ke, “I told you so—I knew I was right—I made a mistake of nearly twenty pounds; however, if you don’t want the whole you needn’t have it—I'll take part of it out.” . “No, no,” said the other, staying _the bands of Mr. S. ov their way to the strings he bag, “I guess I'll take the whole.” hie ho did, paying for dishonesty ieithnigktm milk cheese at the ng: a SALISBURY, N.

When corn cannot be groud without too much expense the next best way is to mix the shelled corn with short cut corn stalks ; dampen the mass and let it lie a few hours, when the cattle will eat thecorn and stalks together, and masticate the corn much better than when in the cob. They are obliged to do this in masticating the corn fod- der ; besides, in this case, the corn will be raised with the cud and re- masticated, thus giving it the benefit of a second grin ing, which it does not have when corn .is fed alone. This is a matter of great importance in feeding. SHEEP IN ORCHARDS.—H aving a small orchard of about 90 trees, I bave for three years past pastured it with six or eight sheep for tho benefit of the trecs. Last year, being a non-bearing year in this State, I had more apples than all the neighboring farms together. My practice is to plow shallow alternate years in order to disturb the surface of the ground, and not cut the roots too deeply, which I con- sider to be against the longevity of the trees, and sow to cloyer, to be fed one year by the sheep, the next plowed and sowed again to clover—the sheop kept in another feeding lot till after haying, when the clover roots have gained strength and maturity, so that the closo feeding of the sheep will not kill them. Why I plow so often is because the trampling of the shcep is apt to pack the ground around the roots of the trees, preventing their bearing. Tho sheep eat all the blighted wind-fall apples, which contain the germs of injurious insects, as soon as they fall from the trees; and they dis- tribute their manure eo evenly and finely over the ground that the rains soak it immediately down to the fine surface roots of the trees, causing theia to bear every year. ‘lhe shecp should not be kept in tco late in the Fall, nor put in too early iu the Spring when the grass is dead, as they are apt to gnaw the bark off the small treee.—New Englund Furm- er. —_—-<- - —_—- Turpentine Errecrs.—The valuo of turpentine as a disinfectant is not sufficicntly known or understood, W'l- mington is a town situated on Capo Fear River, in North Carclina, a river sabject to high tidal floods, and, as the town is in vicinity of large swampy rice-fieids, it would appear to be peculiarly liablo by nature to attacks of malarial fever. In the town, before the late war, there were six large turpentino distilleries, and the health of the town was remarkably good, which was accounted for by the supposed effects of the rosinifcrous odors of the dis- tilleries. Somo time after the distillerics had stopped work, owing to the late war, yellow fever broke out aud apread rapid- ly. oping to check it by this means, large quantities of rosin were burned in the streets, but without beneficial effects. In 1870 the distilleries were onca more worked, and the health of the town ro- gained ite former condition. Another iu- stance is yiven in which turpeutine was used with good results.

From the Milford (N. H.) Enterprise. But few of our citizens are aware, that within a-radius of twelve miles there is an extensive granite quarry, where seventy-five men are employed, and where ther workmen are engaged in quarrying and finishing a soldier’s monument, ordared by the United States Governmeat jn honor of thie ELEVEN THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED UNION SOLDIERS, who lay buried im the trenches at Salisbury, North Carolina. The quarry is situated about one mile east of Mason Center, and is the property of Alexander pald, of Cam- bridge, Mass., who purchased the Jand on which the quarry is located, about eight years ago. The ledge was discovered fifteen years ago, by Jefferson Blodget, who took out the first stone. It was not until MeDon- ald parece the quarry, that active work commenced. ‘The first labor of any amount that the proprietor per- formed after his purchase, was to get out the granite for the O1D CAMBRIDGE BAPTIST CHURCH, an elegant stone structure, highly spoken of, upon its completion, by the local and suburban press. Following this Mr. McDonald took the contract for building the soldier’s monument at Charlestown, Mass. The next big contract was to get out the granite for Worcester Lunatic Asylum, on which he has been at work two years, and will complete it in one more, But what will interest our readers most is the description of the SOLDIER'S MONUMENT FOR SALISBURY NORTIL CAROLINA, This monument is thirteen feet square at its first base, and its second base is nine feet square, eighteen inches high, and handsomely moulded. The die of the monument is seven feet square four fect eight inches high and pan- eled on four sides, and enriched with laurel leaves. The cap above the die is nine feet square, one foot and four inches high and moulded. The base for th: shaft is six feet six inches square, niontded, ornamented with ol- Jive leaves, and mounted with helmet, sword and shackles. The shaft is four fect square at the base and is in one solid piece, thirty-one icet Jong. This is ornamented with a United States shield, with stars and stripes. The raised tables above, covered with earved drapery, only showing the “11,700” could hardly be better exe- euted in marble. ‘The only lettering on the monument comes just above, where in handsome cut letters we see the simple inscription “Pro Patria,” and still bigher twining to the very top of the obelisk is a braid of olive leaves. The various parts of the monument are nearly completed and are eovered with canvass booths, awaiting shipment. The work will all be completed on December Ist, when the huge blocks comprising the monument will be lifted from the yard on to Lovell’s locomotive cars, which Mr. McDonald will procure for the purpose, and will not be unloaded till they reach Richmond. — Herc the guage will be narrower and the cars with its freight will be lifted from the old and placed on the new trucks, from whence the monument will be taken to Salisbury without further change. ‘The monument when crec- ted will be one of the handsomest in the United States, and the granite being fine in texture and light in col- or will appear in the distance not un- like marble. The whole workman- ship of the monument is first class, and does eredit to the gentlemanly ; contractor. The Ninety and Nine. Various accounte of the origin and au- thorsip of the hyma with the above title, suug by Mr. Sankey have been given. he following is given uy Mr. Sankey. Some time in 1873, Mr. Sankey being then in Englaod with Moody for the first time, bougkt a copy of the Christian Age, 2 London religious paper publishing Dr. Talmage’s ecrmons, and inv one cora- er found this hymn. We bad never seen or heard of it before. It pleaeed him and seemed adapted to religioas work. He cut it out of the paper, and three days afterwards he sung it at a meeting in Free Assembly Hall ia Edinburgh, bav- ing composed the music himsel:. A skort time after, be received a letter from a lady thanking bim for having sung the bymn, aud stating that the author was ber sister, Miss Eliza C. Clapbane of Melrose, Scotland. Sbe bad written the hymn in 1868 and shortly after diel. She and her whole family were members o* the Chureb of Scotland, and wera not Uni- tarians, as stated iu this country. Mr. Sankey replied to the lady’s letter, ask- ing if -ber sister had ever written any other hymaa, and was told that sbe had written several others which were scot to the Family Treasury, & religious paper of which the late Dr. Aroct was the editor, but only “The Ninety aod Nino was ever published. Mr. Sankey communicated with him, and received several pieces of manuscript. ‘The ouly other hymn by the same author in Mr. Sankey’s collec- tioa is the 43d: “Beneath the Croes of * Jesus.” WAIT. Wait, husband, before you wonder audibly why your wife don’t get along with the household affairs, “as your mother did.” She is doing her best, and no woman can endure that best to beslighted. Remember the long, weary nights she sat up with the little babe that died; remember the love and care she bestowed upon you when you had that long spell of sickness. Do you think she is made of cast iron? Wait—wait in silence and forbear- ance, and the light will come back to her eyes—the old light of the old days. Wait, wife, before you speak re- proachfully to your husband when he comes home late, weary, and “out of sorts.” He has worked hard for you all day, perhaps far into the night ; he has wrestled, hand in hand with care, and selfishness and greed, and all the demons that follow in the train of money-making. Let home be another atmosphere entirely. Let him feel that there is no other place in the world where he can find peace and quiet, and perfect love. oo The Rev. Dr. Dix made some very plain remarks at the anoual festival of the united choirs of ‘Trinity parish, last week. He said : “Church music is now in a very uno~ satisfactory condition. Expensive church- es require popular music as well as popu- lar preaching. Instead of hearty cougre- tional singing we find the involutions, and convolatious of quartet choirs, or else the fautless execution of.a soloist paid $2,000 a year for singing two sacred songs one day in the week. ‘The popular taste uncultivated and untutored is in fault. ‘The requisites of church music are, that it should be of the essence of worship; that it should be devotional and that it should be simple, so that all can take part in it. he music would then be the voice of the whole people and not the choir.” We are glad to seo words of waruing from such a quarter, although the evil of cultivating mere aristic music for the grati- fication of the congregation and to attract outsiders, is not confined to any dcuomi- nation. It is a growiug evil and is de- atroying the spirituality and devotional character of this part of divine worship. It is becoming more and more a performance in the place of devotion.—N. Y. Obser- ver. From the Raleigh News. AFTER THE ELECTIONS. The opiuion expressed in this paper some time gince that in the late elections the results were not such as to justify the overstraincd exultation of the Repub- licans, or unduly depress the Democrats, is daily recciving fresh confirmation. Of course we are comrelied to rely upon the opinions of those in a position to judge with some approximation to aecaracy, rather than trust to our own conclusions except upon a theatre nearer at home. ‘The New York Tribune, Republican, thongh Jiberal and opposed to the admins istration, is yet not so liberal asto wish the success of the Democrats if it could see its own party deserving of success.— Tt still clings to that hope. We cau therefore acquit it of any bias of partiality when it presents asummary of the re- sults of the election which may be taken either as a warning to the Republican party, or cncouragemeut to the Demo- crats. Taking afew of the most important States in detail, the Tribune shows from official tables that in the elections of 1871, the Republicans of Massachusetts had a majority of 13,465 over all candidates for Governor, (there were five,) while in 1875, for the same office, and with the same number of candidates, they were in the minority by 5,807. In New York in 1871, the Republicans had 18,907 for Secretary of State, while for the same office in 1875, they are ina minority of upwards of 15,000. And the Tribune says 25,000 did not vote at the late election. Is it not quite as possible that these may vote next year with tho Dewocrats as with the Republicaus ? In Pennsylvania in 1871, the Republi- cans bad a small majority outside of Philadelphia. ‘Ibis year they have not. lu Jowa the plurality for Governor Kirkwood is 10,000 lees than the Repub- licau majoritics of 1871. In Ohio the Republicaus Lave less to spere by 15,000 than they bad in 1871. ‘These are the cowparieons of the Tribune, and we rely upon their aceuracy. ‘bey ehow conclusively that though the Kepublicaus bave apparently regained come of their losses, yet they do not exhibit the strength they bad four years ago.

Home is next to heaven, And the home that is well ordered, comely, pure and bright, is thus heavenly: by the agency of woman’s heart and A Frightened: “Ghost.” “Where is Lacy, Rob?” said Ida Le- land of her younger brother. “Don’t know,” responded he, briefly. “Well, I know,” she said; “She’s out near Cemetery Hill with Ellis Lee. I only Wanted to be sure of it.” And Ida, with a merry, mischievous toss of her girlish head, was off. “I wonder what she’s up to?” queried Rob, as he watched her hasten toward the house in the soft summer twilight, entering by the back way. Ida, as she left him, chuckled mischiev- ously to herself: “Won't I give them a good seare—Lu and that dandy, Ellis Lee? I know he’s a dreadful coward. Ob, what fan to see him run—or faint, maybe !” Ida dearly loved a joke—practical jokes, even, when they were not at her own cxpcnee. She darted into the house, flitted up- stairs to her chamber, jerked a shect from the bed, folded it into a small compass, hid it under her apion, and then glided by a round-about way to that favorite trysting spot of Greenwood lovers, the road that ran by the beautiful Cemetery Hill. She thought it capital fun to appear suddenly as a supernatural being to her sister and Ellis Lee, and see the cffect she imagined it would produce upon them both. Against the young man she had a slight grudge, and she determined to pay him off. She was sure he was a coward, and wanted him to prove himeclf such. Gaining the road by a by-path, the foolish girl threw the sheet over her head—having described, as she supposed, the forms of the lovers near the summit of the hill—and advanced in the most spectral fashion up the elevation. Bat she had been mistaken in her supposition that she bad seen, through the gathering gloom, the figures of Lucy and Ellis.— ‘The trunks of two roadside trees would not resolve themselves into the love-pair she sought. Ida paused a moment, quite disappeiat- ed at not finding them, and feeling a little lonely and awed in licr white habilis ments. She glanced over the cemetery feuce; there stood the tombstones, cold and white. For the first time a seuse of the foolishness of her attempted joke struck her, and her really brave little heart fluttered with reproving fear. “Tt is wicked to be doing tlie,’ she said to herself, in aguilty whisper. “I— I just thought to have a little fun, but I kuow ities not right. JI will go on over the hill toward home.” She had not reached the summit, and consequently could not sce the other side; but she heard a noise that alarmed her. First, a diamal stir of the uight wind, aud theu a fierce, frightened breath and a rush of heavy footsteps, as if eome mon- ster were rapidly approaching. She looked up in terror. A wild sbriek burst from ber lips, for coming savagely toward her was a bege, white creature of euch terrible shape as earthly being —brute or human—surely never wore. A moustrous and shapeless head that acemed to toss about limp aud lifeless; a bellowing body of formidable size; fierce~ flying limba, and a tail erect and lashing furiously —these were what she saw, and with a second shuddering cry of terror and repuleion, poor Ida fainted quite away. She lay there on the dampened sod, the sheet atill around ber, and her pallid faee touching the dusty earth. ‘I'he mon- ster had not attacked ber, though appar. ently charging full upon her, but had passed on down the hill. No one came to Ida’s assistance imme- diately; she lay therc some minutes in that death-like swoon before help reached her. Voices, at first laughing, bat suddenly taking a serions tone as her prostrate form was discovered, were heard just as she began to revive. The good Samaritans —her own brother, sister and Ellis Lee—bore licr quickly home, without questioning, but with many exclamations and excited remarks amoug themselves that Ida could uot, of course, just then understand. When she was in a condition to bear and give explanations, she begau with a coufeasion of her folly. “But the monster?” sue asked, sluad- dering, very soon, faneying she saw her listeners smile a little. ‘ What was he “Qur tame white eteer, Ida,” said Rob, guiltily, aud laughing too; I frightened him by throwing a white sack over his horns, and he tore down the road like mad. I thought I would play ghost too.” But from that time forth neither he nor his sister played ghost again. ee ee Lines to Some Oue- Say you love me, Jennie, Breathe it swect and low; I will not pine in surrow If you tell we se.

The excitement is subsiding. We are quile sure that the people of this country desire peace aboveall things, and least ofalla war for the acquisition of Cuba or any other terri- the Government is to tory. A recent private letter from Minister Cushing, direct from Madrid, alludes generally to European topics, but makes no allusion whatever, to any causes which would be likely to disturb the peace now existing between Spain and the United States. And itis denied that any official correspondence has been had in reference to Cuban matters, justifying the apprehension of war as the result, or that the activily in the Navy yards is to be so con- strued. a THE WHISKY FRAUDS OF THE WEST, It has long been known that there was a powerful Whisky Ring in the West, throngh whose almost omnipotent power, tariffs, lawa, aud regulations iu regard to the manufacture and sale of whisky have been from time to time established, which eecured to them almost a complete mo- nopoly of the whisky trade of the country. They made aud comade laws on this stibject, (by their powerful influence at Washington), and of course shaped them with reference to the success of their own private schemes for making money. No grander scheme of rascality has ever ex- jated in this country, and none was ever earricd out with more effrontery. And yet, strange to say, tue officials at Washing- ton have not, until recently, undertaken to interfere with this Ring. Its leaders were frequent'y at Washington, visiting the White House, und riding out with Presidcot Grant, with whom they seemed io beon the most intimate terma. The N.Y. Tribune, ot the 17th, a moderate Jiepablican paper, audertakes to explain How this intimacy came to*paes, and en- dcavors to show how it is reconcilable wich the innocence of the President as regards the swindling operations of the Ring. It also endeavors to draw gom- fort from the fact that siace the revelation of the corrupt practices of the Ring, Pree- ident Grant has not only oé interfered to hinder the prosegution of the offenders, - but checringly predicts tbat if he shall cvutinue to favor these progeedings to a — final consatmation, it must go far to’ re- move suspicions against himeelf and eom- mend him to the hearty praise of the good men of the country. It is to be boped for the credit of the country chat, mean a8 General Grant's qualifications for the high office he holds are admitted to be, and questionable as bis integrity is regarded by many, these revelations may not involve him in the dis- grace of being a party to the shameless frauds and raecalities of this Ring. The approach of the next Presidential canvass, and the well-nigh settled question of his candidacy for the third term, are circum- stances, however, calculated to deprive him of the bonor of honestly entertaining any holy borror with which he may seem to regard the members of the Ring, and to withold from him even the credit of favoring procecdings tor their prosecation. People will suspect a sudden zeal on @ (pew departure” though good, in the ab- stract, where there are ulterior ends ar dently coveted which may inspire that zeal. Eveu if all the thieves should be couyicted and condemued to go to the Penitentiary to keep company with Joyce, who threatens to turn State's evidence against them, many will regard it as a made-up game to win popularity for the Republican party and its Presidential candidate, well-knowing that the Presi- dent can easily liberate the offenders whenever there is nothing more to be either made or lost by the interposition of bis pardoning power. A St. Louis correspondent of the Tri. bune, Nov. 19, lists up the men on trial before the Court in that city thns: “Of the more active members, tv whom little envelopes were delivered every week, containing neat salaries averaging $50,000 a year, Joyce bas been convicted, though not at St. Louis yor for participation in frauds in this district. Fitzroy has con- fessed, and McDonald, McKee and Ma. guire remained to be tried. Of course they haye many friends. But public opinion on the whole sustains the Gov- ernment very strongly. ‘Those who have especial liking for citber of the victims try to believe that be was merely tool or a dupe, “more sinned against thau sin- ving.” Butthis Ring was dictatorial, impudent, and fond of lording it over oth- era with its ill-gotten wealth.” Later.—Sr. Louis, Nov. 23.—Me Donald was convicted on all eight indict- meuts. ‘Vhe jury consulted three hours.

To Tue Epitrors oF THE WATCHMAN : The present Constitution of North Carolina contains fourteen separate articles. The amend- ments adopted by the late Constitutional Con- vention propose alterations in all of these articles except three, viz: the 8th, relating to “Corporations other than Municipal ;” the 10th, to ‘“Homesteads and Exemptions ;” and the 12th to “Militia.” I shall endeavor, in a series of articles which I expect to write for your paper, to point out all the alterations proposed by said amend- ments; to explain them fully and candidly ; and to state fairly and honestly all the material objections urged against them, answering these objections with such arguments as shall occur ome. I have satisfied my own mind, and I hope to convince my readers, that none of the amendments are justly liable to serious criti- cism ; and that very many of them are not only perfectly unobjectionable, but are also of such excellence as to commend themselves to the approval of all honest, intelligent men and irre- spective of party. The forty-nine signers of the “Protest,” with all their industry and astute- ness, were not able tuspecify but three of these amendments, which they were willing to face their constituents and boldly take ground against. sAnd, if the minds of these forty-nine were free from party rancor, and unbiassed by partisan hate, they too would approve what they have so bitterly and so unjustly denounced. I shall now proceed to the performance of my task, noting and considering the amendments proposed to each article of the Constitution, in the order of its number and title. ARTICLE I, DECLARATION OF RIGHTS. This article coptuins 37 sections, all of which remain untouched except two. 1.—Section 24 now reads thus: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the securi- ty of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shal! not be infringed ; and, as standing armies, in time of peace, are dange- rous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; and the military should be kept under strict subor- dination to, and governed by the civil power.” The amendment proposed simply, adds the following words to the section. “Nothing herein contained shall justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons, or pre- vent the Legislature from statutes against said practice.” This amendment discourages the practice. now entirely too common, of carrying conceal- ed weapons about one’s person ; and authorizes the Legislature, in express termes, to pass laws to prohibit it, by appropriate penalties. The amendment was proposed by Mr. Rufus Barringer, a Republican delegate fiom Meck- lenburg county, and was passej, as a matter of course, without objection or discussion. I think myself, that the Legislature already has the power conferred by this amendment, but I have no doubt that the incorporation of such a clause in the Constitution will be calculated to do good. 2,—Section 25 is now as follows; The peo- ple have a right to assemble together toconsult for their common good, to instruct their repre- sentgtives, and to apply to the Legislatnre for redress of grievances.” , The amendment adds the following: “But secret political societies are dangerous to the liberties af 3 free people, and should not be enacting penal a tolerated.” This amendment was also adopted without any Qbjection. As.all lovers of peace and good order in this State are tired of hearing of, and are trtterly opposed to mob: violenee, whether committed or dictated by Union Leaguers or by members of the white brotherhood, I pre- sume this amendment will be as palatable to the people as it was to the Convention. ARTICLE II. LEGISLATIVE DEDARTMENT. Siz amendments are proposed to this article, which contains 29 sections. 1.—Section 2 is proposed to be amended by striking out the words “the third Monday in November” and inserting in lieu therecf the following : the first Wednesday after firat “the Monday in January, next after their election,” so that said section as amended will read as fol- lows: “The Senate and House of Representatives shall meet biennially on the first- Wednesday after the first Monday in January, next after their election; and when assembled shall be denominated the General Assembly. Neither House shall proceed upon public business, unless a majority of all the members are actually present.” This amendment is one of the most useful adopted by the Convention. It will get. rid of the usual adjournment for the Christmas holi- days—which always interrupts the business of the Legislature before it gets fairly under way—so that, virtually, the session of the Leg- islature previous to the adjournment at Christ- mas is an almost entirely useless expense; although the cost to the tax payers is about thirty thousand dollars, This change will bea relief to the people in another way. I mean by postponing the time for paying their taxes to the Sheriff—for it is well known that the reason why the Sheriff are now required to settle up so early with the Public Treasurer is because the large draughts, made on the Treasury by the members of the Legislature, require the Treasurer Jo have a pretty long purse at the time of its assembling. It will certainly be a great relief to the people, if the time for the collection of taxes can be post- pongd until after they have gathered their crops and carried them to market. 2,.—Section 4 is obsolete, being the “gerry- mander’ ofthe Senatorial Districts by tbe Radica! Convention of 1868, and is proposed to be stricken out. 3.—Section 8 is also obsolete, being the apportionment of Representatives by the same Convention, and is proposed to be stricken out. 4.—Sectiun 27 is amended by retaining the first part thereof, which reads as follows: “The terms of office for Senators and mem- bers of the Ifouse of Representatives shall commence at the time of their election.” The clause stricken out is obsolete, simply relating to the term of office of the members of the Legis!ature, elected at the first election under the present Constitution. 5.—The first clause of section 29 is retained. It reads thus: “The election for members of the General Assembly shall be held for the respective districts and counties where they are npw held, or may be directed Lereafter to | be held, in such manner as may be prescribed by lav, on the first Thursday in August, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sev- enty, and every two years thereafter. But the General Assembly may change the time of the elections,’ The amendment strikes out the remainder of the section, which is now obsolete—and which only provides when the first election under the Constitution for members of the General Assembly should be held, and at what time the General Assembly then elected should meet. 6.—The following new section has been added to this article. “Section 30. The members of the General Assembly for the term for which they have been elected, shall receive as a com- pensation for their services the sum of four dollars per day for each day of their session, for a period not exceeding sixty days; and should they remain longer in session, they o7 af holding shall serve without compensation. They shail also be entitled to receive ten cents per mile, both while coming to the seat of government and while returning home, the said cistance to be computed by the nearest line or route of public travel. ‘Te compensation of the presi- ding officers of the two Houses shall be six dollars per day and mileage. Shouldan extra session of the General Assembly be called, the members and presiding officers shall reecivea like rate of compensation for a period not exceeding twenty days,” This is an exceedingly important amend- ment and ought to be written in letters of gold. It will remedy a very crying evil. The com- pensation proposed, although moderate, is sufficiently reasonable. Heretofore, the per diem has been seven dollars per day, when the Republicans were in the ascendency ; and five dollars per day when the Democrats controlled the Legislature. Both parties have been in the habit of taking mileage at the rate of twenty cents Besides, the Legislature generally wasted two or-three weeks of each session in discussing how much the per diem and mileage should be, the result of this protracted discussion usually, being, that the highest rate was finally fixed upon. Sixty deys is ample time in which to transact all the necessary business oi the J.egis- lature. A great deal of expensive and uscless private legislation will of course have to be dis- pensed with; but this will be a positive gain to the people in the way of taxes, of many thous- ands of dollars, as the cost of printing the laws will be greatly diminished. It is es- timated that this amendment alone—together with the one changing the time of meeting of the General Assembly from November to Jan- uary—will effect an annual saving of about thirty thousand dollars, Of the eight amendments just considered, only four are real alterations of the Constitu- tion; the other four merely striking out obsolete matter. And the whole eight are so appro- priate, that no objections have ever becn urged against them. JOHN S. HENDERSON, —_——_~-e-____. CuaRLEsTon, 8S. C., Nov. 15.— Infor- mation having reached Columbia that the report prevails in New York that the new consolidation bonds of South Carolina, which were izsued in exchange for cou- pons alléged to have been ‘fraudulently outstanding, would be repudiated by the State, the Governor and Comptroller General and State Treasurer authorize the contradiction ef the report, and ex- preas the belief that no such purpose is anywhere entertained or can be Jegally accomplished, even if desired.

A correspondent informs us of an at- tempt which was made a few days since to rob a wagon near Shoe Hecl, with its tragic result.

Boyden, 4 bury, an ebony cane with gold head, which had: been purchased for him by the company, and which it was desired to present him, as an evidence of kindly feeling entertained by the members of the company toward that gentle- man in conseqnence of the graceful courtes which they received at his hands during their visit to the recent Fair at Salisbury, of which Mr. Boydeg is the President. About 9 o'clock last evening, the members being assembled in their hall in full uniform, Mr. Boyden was waited upon by a committee who asked his presence at the meeting. When he arrived he was invited to a seat by the President pro tem W. R. Myers, Jr., when Col. H. C. Jones, on behalf of the company, arose and in handsome terms informed Mr, Boyden of the object of the assemblage and of why his presence was asked. He spoke of the great good feeling which he (the guest) had enkind- led in the hearts of the members of the com- pany by his reception and treatment of them on the occasion referred to. They felt a desire to express their feelings to him, and took iis method of doing so. _ Mr. Boyden accepted the cane in an ex¢eed- ingly off hand speech, cordially re-echoing all the sentiments of good will which had been uttered. He expressed his attachment to Char- lotte, and said that this was another link which bound him to the city and its people. He would always look back to this as one of the brightest spots in his memory, and begged the gentlemen to accept his sincere thanks. The cane bears this engraving: “Presented to A. H, Boyden by the Hornet Fire Company,” and on the reverse side: “Charlotte, N. C., Oct. 21st, 1875.” Itisa most beautiful cane and fell into the hands of a mnost worth recipient.” Salisbury Soldier’s Monument,—I will be seen by reference to the first page of this paper, that the General Government is about to erect a splendid monument in the National Cemetery of this place in memory of the Fed- eral soldiers who died in the Salisbury prison during the war. The parts of the structure are all ready for shipment, and will arrive here early in December. No doubt the conrage and suffering of the Federal soldiery in the late war entitle them to all the honor bestowed in memory of them. Men who froma high sense of patriotism lay their lives upon the altar of their country are poorly repaid in monuments and ascrip- tions of praise, though it be the best service their country can render. We only regret that the Confederate dead, equally as brave and worthy, of the same nationality and must lie neglected and unhonered. True, their extraordinary deeds under the most un- Llood, favorable circumatances, is a monument of fame higher and more durable than can raised of stone; but it would bea Hittle more consoling to present to the eve of the passer.a testimonial to remind him of those brave men the South more. until it crushed them to rige no Indeed, it would be no great stretch to erect a monument by private subscription honor ef our Confederate dead, notwithstanding our poverty.

Va., Octo- her Sth, 1806. Early in life her father, Dr. !‘Phomas Hunt, noved to Granville Co. N. C., where she, afterwards, married Benjamin Sumuer of Gates Cu. Wien quite young, she was baptized by Bishop Ravenscroft, To the day of her death she was a consistent and de- yout member of the Episcopal Church. Few persons ever enjoyed such unquestioned reputa- tion fur Christian integrity. Such a beautiful life as hers should not pass without notice, She possessed in av eminent degree the vir- of charity, which St. Panls tells us sufferereth lung, and is kind, envieth not, &c. To her it was real pleasure “to give and dis- tribute.’ Shc was evera friend to the poor and needy. Her pleasant smile showed the supshine of a contented heart. She died away from home, but not away from those who loved ber and who did fer ber, all that skill conld desire, or afiection suggest. Just before death a LUcautiful smile irradiated her countenance. May we not hope that it was caused by the visions of ihe happy future which awaited her? Her remains were brought to Salisbury to be| deposited near her husband’s, Kind friends | followed her to her last resting place.

The EEE EES: of our Lord are peculiarly a — ninnies roll about on the , turn- ing somersaults and standmg on their wooly pates with joy, shouting : “ Miss Annie dove come, an’ dere will be high old times now for weeks to come.” Well, the happy days fled all too soon. Never had Annie passed a mer- rier winter, and never bad she seemed more gay and thoughtless. “The ‘Butterfly’ still!” said An- nie’s friends, shaking their wise heads, as they watched her laughin face and light, dancing figure—loving , inspite of their fault-finding. But the sunshine was soon to be eclipsed ‘for the “ Butterfly.” In the spring, when his grand home was glo- rious with bloom and beauty, Colonel Hunter, Annie’s father, laid down life’s cares and passed over peacefully to the other side of the river. That summer was asad one to the inmates of Myrtle Hall, and grief pressed on the devoted wife’s heart so heavily that she, too, laid down the burden of life. Old Christmas wooed in vain for the merry times he was wont to see in the lofty rooms of Annie’s home.— Death held grim sway there, and the pleasant chamber, that usually wel- comed Christmas with wreaths of waxy mistletoe and festoons of scarlet- berried holly, now held mourning badges for the dear mother and mis- tress, “ not lost, but gone before.” Annie and her husband settled qui- etly in the large house, and after two years, the gloomy pall of mourning was lifted from the young wife’s brow, and she was crowned with the holy name of “ mother.” Myrtle Hall once more had an heir, and he ruled, in his tiny way, from the least darkey that touched his dainty robes with reveren- tial fingers, when he was-carricd out on his birth-day to view the assembled slaves, to his proud father who owned those slaves. But.the little lord gave place, on his fourth birth-day, to a minature Annie, who soon became the pet of all. When little Annie’s blue eyes gazed on her fourth natal day, dark mutter- ings were heard, and the gathering | eminent above the lying wonders of demons, in that they were not made out of vain osten- tation r, aud to raise unprofitable amaze- ment bt ho zeal, benefit and advantage of men, by tecding the hungry, healing all sorts of of devils, and reviving the Alsens ejecin 3 pay Tl] that Grod blesses Is our good ; Unble eco inill; And aiiis right which seemed rffost wrong Jfit be Eis sweet will, + From the Sunny South, ANNIE, THE BUTTERFLY.

Harry Silverton’s | brown eyes flashed with patriotic fire ‘when the first challenge went forth, ‘and his own faithful wife buc. led on his sword with trembling fingers, bid- ding him “God-speed” as he rode forth at the head of a small band of determined men. Oh, those dreary, awful years that followed! Annie’s slender hands work- ed rapidly for her loved one, fighting so desperately for a forlorn hope. The splendid rooms were bereft of their rich carpets to make blankets for the scantily-supplicd solders, while the loom and spinning-wheel took the place of harp and piano. Willingly did our “ Butterfly” deprive herself of the luxuries to which she had never, until now, been a stranger; tear up her splendid carpets, sell her rich jew- els, wear home-spun dresses, and give up her thorough-bred horses for the use of the cavalry, * * * * * * The years go by. Annie sits alone in her large lonely house, wishing and longing. That brave heart is beating warmly for the absent one who comes not. The large plantations are grown up in brown straw, with a few poor mules grazing forlornly about, while the large house and negro quarters wear a mournful, deserted look. Of the quandom slaves, but one (Annic’s old nurse) remains faithful to her ; the rest have a grand rush for “freedom.” Poor crcatures! how much better off are they now ? Little Annie and Harry (who is now a fine boy of twelve) tease their mama and “aunt Rach” to tell them when papa will come back. “ Soon now, darling, mama hopes;” and Annie hides her face in the golden locks of her youngest born, to conceal her rushing tears, She has not seen her husband for four years, The days pass wearily on, when one day a one- armed, one-legged man, clad in rusty, tattered gray, limps slowly up the grand avenue where stately carriages were wont to roll, But now the grav- eled walks are weed-grown, while the gates hang loosely on their hinges. Fifteen years ago— “O God, it is too much!” and the poor old cripple sank down on a bro- ken rustic bench, for thought had over- come him. Fifteen years ago to-day, he had rid- den up this avenue, to carry off the flower of Myrtle Hall and crown her “wife.” Now, what had he brought her? Gray hairs, poverty, and shat- tered frame, while one Jeg and arm lay buried in the soil of old Virginia, en- riched with the blood of thousands of brave men. “QO mama, see! who is that old man out there?” and Annie drew her mo- ther to the window. ‘Ah! now he has taken off his hat. He must be very old, for his hair is as white as my dress.” A strange fluttering seized the elder Annie’s heart as she approached the window ; then a wild cry burst from her lips. She threw up the window and bounded down the steps. “Tt is he! it is my darling, come at last!” and she fairly flew towards the strange figure, sitting so silently under the tree. “Ob, Harry! my darling! my husband !” She hung on his eck: .|sobbing with joy. : he Strained her to his heart, “ My wife!” was all he could say. At last they grew calmer, and he lifted up her ane ee , the lips, “look ‘up, warm a welcome when I tell you I bring nothing back but old age and you bring me yourself—that which I a With his one arm “ Annie,” with a penta quiver of irling, you havejtrue, faithful and lovine wife * till PEO AGNGA —_—— _ s verty ?” : “Oh, Harry, my husband, do not ave been longing for for four years?” leaning her cheek on his. His voice was choked, as he said, drawing, her so closely her sunny hair mingled with his white locks: “My wife! my sweet comforter ! It is worth all I have gone through to meet so true a heart-welcome.” Little Annie had been slowty ap- proaching, and now she stood so near, she put out her hand and pulled her mother’s dress gently, whispering in an awe-struck tone : “ Mama, is this my papa?” Yes, darling, this is papa. this is Annie.” “ Annie, our child ? daughter.” But the white hair, the empty sleeve and the wooden leg repelled her, and she faltered : “ You are not my papa. My papa has not got white hair, and he has two arms like Buddie, for auntie Rach said so.” Annie’s mouth quivered, but she said : “ Come here, darling. This 7s papa, don’t you see how mama loves him?” and she kissed Harry’s pale brow, whose features worked with pain, as he said : “ Even my own children shun me.” Little Annie came up and took his one hand gently in her two dimpled ones. “Don’t ery; it will make mama ery, and she has cried so much, 271] take you for my papa,” looking up with a sweet smile. He stooped and kissed her, then said to his wife : “ And our boy—where is he °” Annic’s eyes filled as she said, hesi- tatingly : “Our child? Oh! Harry, I—I— he is—plowing.” “ Plowing ! my boy—my baby! It is too hard!” and he passed his thin hand across his brow, while a moan struggled up from his heart. Ah! how it hurt to think Azs son the heir of all these broad but worthless lands, should be compelled to toil for his scanty daily bread. “Darling do not give way, thus. It is God s will, and we should submit cheerfully.” And Annie passed her slender fingers through his white hair; then, turning to the little girl stand- ing mournfully near, she said: “ Run and tell brother to come and see papa.” Annie flew to do her mother’s bid- ding, and presently a firmly built but slender boy presented himself with glowing checks and sparkling brown eyes. “ My father!” “ My son!” That was all; but two more thank- ful hearts did not beat in all christen- dom. “ Toil, you sec, has made a man of our boy,” as they all rose to go in. “ He certainly has developed rapid- ly. But, Annie, I cannot }et it go on. Ie must be educated.” “ But how ?” The children were walking before, and did not hear the conversation. “Tf possible,” replied Harry, ‘1 must rent the plantation, and remove to town. I have learned there are publie schools in A )” a shadow flitting across his brow at the thought of not being able to give his son a col- legiate education, “TI,” he added, “can practice my profession.” “ And what shall I do?” softly in- quired his wife. “ You have toiled enough in the last four years; you must rest.” She shook her head. “The past four years bave but fitted me for work. I could noi live in idle- ness.” So it was settled. The plantation was rented out, and the family moved to the city of A——, when Henry and Annie were both put to school. Asa lawyer, the father did not succeed. Daily his health grew feebler, and he was, perforce, called on to see his lov- ing, faithful and unselfish wife go out into the hard world and win their bread with her own tender hands. This made the burden of life heavier for Harry to bear. At the end of a year, he was lying on his death bed. One day he said : « «Till death do us part.’ Ah! dar- ling, how true, how true and faithful you have been till then. When we were first married, I doubted you would be strong enough to bear the burden ‘till death us did part,’ but looking back, I see it is I who have failed, wo- fully failed, or I could not now leave you in such poverty,” and a deep sigh escaped him. She laid her throbbing hand on his lips as she answered : “ Hush, my husband, it is God’s de- cree. We will not murmur,” and she stroked back the snowy hair. On the morrow he diod. In a few months the widow went back to the lonely Myrtle Hall, with- out her children. A kind and rich relative had taken them and put them in college, promising to be a father to them. Harry and Annie eagerly em- braced their opportunities, and are now two shining lights. Harry isa lawyer of great abilities and unparalleled suc- cess, while Annie, with her graceful and gifted: pen, has drawn au admiring world around her.

M. WADDELL undertook to show how the financial policy of the radical party was chargable with the ‘bard times” of which almost every body, North and Bouth, complains. He prefaces his speech on this subject, however, with a few re- marks on the Agricultural aystem of the South which we quote as follows : “ The first idea connected with agricul- ture being the production of bread and meat, it certainly looks strange, especially in a country like this, to see a farmer purchas- ing, every year, these necessaty supplies for his own use. A great deal has been said and written on this subject for some years past, without any very inarked effect, so far as I know in changing the general plan pursued, and averting its evil consequences: and, therefore, I cannot hope, by any protest: of mine, to effect a revolution on the subject— but it can do no harm to add such a protest * to them any others which have beenjmade con- cerning it. The sale of surplus products can alone furnish a net income to the farmer, and, therefore, it only remains for him to decide in what form the surplus shall be realized. Shall-he make one principal crop, with the proceeds of which he must buy all his other necessary supplies, or shall be diversify his crops, and, retaining enough of each to mect his own wapts, put the balance on the market ? In the one case there are a thous- and contingencies to be provided for; in the other, he has a certainty. Whatever oe » (4. sportsman may think about it, a caterer .. firmly believes that “a bird in the hand iy worth two in the bush.” If a farmer raises his own corn and bacon he » ¥3 dakes but little risk, and bas “got the dead wood” on something to eat for his famity ; if he contines himself:to planting cotton he may not guly lyse his crop from natural cuuses, but by a fall in prices; and in either case he must go bhuagry or go in debt.” o« Tt fa teue, as Me. Waddell says, that thd Protest azajnet the dangerous system of sigking family support and everytbing else on a@ siugie article or crop, cotton for dt : ““jnstance, has been rnng ju the ears of Souathery tarinera for a long time, and wishoot any very marked effect.

The New York Sunways:. i + Mooby and SaNkKEY have shown that the clergy cam be united and work together for a common end without regard to sectarian They were assisted (in Brooklyn) by Presbyterians, Methodists, Episcopalians, Congregationalists, Baptists, and Quakers.” Ph Mr. Waddell goes on to show that the cause of the preseut stringency iu the money market is due to the legislation of Congress during the last ten years—io tampering with the eurreucy ; by waste- ful extravagance; of the government fostering money monopolies at the expense of the masses; by a class system of tariffs ; making the 5 20 bonds payable in gold when the government had contracted to pay them in greensbacks, thus increas: ing by millions the tax burdens of the people ; and last, bat not least, the act of last Congress “providing for the re- sumption of specie payments on the Ist January, 1879, whereby the Secretary of the T'reasary is directed to immediately redeem $82,000,000 of the greentack carrency, aud from and after January let, 1579, to redeem the balance ($300,000,- 000) of that currency.” Mr. Waddell thinks that this act can- not be enforced without prodacing univer sal ruin; and bo is sustained in this view by a large proportion of the thinking and business myn of the country, many of whom aro vehemently protesting against it. The financial system and monetary condition of the couatry ia a tangled web to the masses, and even to many whoso husiness pursuits require them to under- stand it. Indeed, they do not try to ans ravel its mysteries, for they do not con- sider it their business to do so. ‘They leave it in the hands of the legislators whom they send to Congress and the State Assembly, and look to. them to do all that ig necessary to protect their in+ terests and secure to them a convenient meavs for transacting their business. They are, therefore, powerless, except in the choice of their representatives, on whose intelligence, honesty and fidelity they are wholly dependent. Bat in these latter days sad disappointments are often experienced in the selection of agente— ao often, in fact, as to beget a general distrust, and a fearful looking for of ca» lamities rather than bevefits. Forten years the South has virtually had no voice in shaping public affuirs ; in the matter of carrency, have beec obliged to take what she could get. It ia so now, aud will probably so continue ; and in view of this fact, and the great calamities predicted as the result of contracting the currency with reference to resumption ot specie payments, there is nothing better that our peopte can do thau toget out of debt as speedily as possible ; and once out to keep clear. If ‘universal ruin” is going to fall on us between this time and Janu- ary 1879, there is no safety except by keeping out of debt. We think the man out of debt may defy the “universal rain,” and therefore we advise all to get oat of debt and live within their income. Let producers make a plenty for themselves and to spare, and they may g» to bed at night and their dreams will be pleasant. The money crash, if it comes, will cer- tainly burt somebody; but those who stand from under need not fear much for ibemselves. ~~. Cotton Mills South. The Scientific American gives four reasons why capitalists should invest in cotton mills at the South, to wit: 1. Labor ia cheaper at the South than at the North. 2. In consequence of a milder elimate, the necessary expense of living ia less than in New England; as is aleo that of heating factory buildings, ete. 3. Coal is abundant iu the South, and cheap water privileges can be obtained in every direction. 3. The purchase of the raw material direct from the producers saves the profits of numerous middle men and long trans« ortation. . The Southern factory, continues the Scientific American, should bay cotton in che seed, gin and then epin it without packing into bales. Some of the advan- tagea of ench a systom would be— 1. The yarn would be atronger.— Baled cotton cannot be prepared for carding without heating, and thus weak- ening the fibre to a greater or less ex- tent. 2. [here would ‘be Icaa waste. Fre- quently much cotton is discolored and otherwise injured by foreign substances that have been packed with it. At tho North and in Europe it takea from 108 to 1}5 pounds of cotton to make 100 pounds of yarn; and although the waste is not so great at the South, it ie nevertheless con- siderable. 3: ‘The cotten seed woald be pressed at the same establishment, and the oil and oil cake sold. 4. The interest on ging and gin-houses which now are idle the greater part of the year, would be saved to plan- ters. 5. The raising of eotton on smat farme would be encouraged. The plantation ayetem ia not adapted to free labor, aud it ia steadily breaking up, but until cote ton can be honestly eold in seed, few small farms will be opened in the cotton section, for the reason that a mano cannot afford to buy and operate a gin, if be only plants a few acres of cotton. Better cot- ton and mcre per acre will be obtained on email! farms than on large ones. - ee — I Pn Tue Strange Howmicipa.—The grand jury failed to find a bill againat Preston Bridgers, son of Hon. R.

And the Sun proposes that the one hundred ministers of Brooklyn should not now fall back into the old nets and thus lose the benefits of Moody and Sankey’s labors; but that if they believe all they profess, it is their duty to do something really practical to save the sinvers of that city : they should organize and fight to- gether against the worksjof darkness. ——_- ~~ ao pay~ The advance in the Raiiroad rates of shipping a Bale of Cotton from Charlotte to New York is unjust and should be denoanced by our business men. We presume that the advanced rates is (he result of a combination, which should not be submitted to by our mer- chants. The advance of rates on shipping cot- ton from this point was sudden and unexpect- ed.—Char. Dem. +. Or gay The reports abroad about sickness and deaths in Charlotte are greatly exaggerated. Our population is about 8,000, and the deaths have not been at all unusual compared wi-h similiar populations of other cities and towns. Some people often got more scared than burt. We do not believethere bas been more than ten deaths from diphtheria during the past three months in this city—Char. Dem. na s@e~ Mr. Geo. T. Lewis, who has been for forty years engaged in making iron in Tennes- see, says that pig iron not only can be made, but has been and is made in that State, Ala- bama and Georgia for less than $16 a ton, a price far below the cost of making it in the iron districts of the North and East. The explana- tion of this greater cheapness ia found in abun- dance of charcoal and good stonecoal in those Staves, both to be had, with limestone, near the iron beds; the mi#ldneas of the climate, which makes winter expenditures nearly as light as those of summer, and the cheapness of colored labor.— Exchange. The same statements apply with truth to North Carolina. —__—~.—_—_—_ An intelligent Jury.— Last week Hon. R. A. Hill, Judge of the United States District Court, now in session at Jackson, determined upon getting rid of the ignorant rabble that has so long cumbered the jury bench in that tribunal, by calling up al! of the jurors sum- moned and discharging every one who could not read and write and compute interest. Judge Hill has hereby done himself honor in thus vindicating the purity of the jury sys- tem. ‘Chat he has acted wisely none can truth- fully deny. If Judge Hill is right in making this discrimination for the United States Court, then why shonld not our State Courts adopt the same rule. It is almost an axiom, that ignor- ance and crime go hand in hand. Let ignor- ance, then, be eliminated from the jury-box, and thereby secure a better administration of both civil and criminal law. —__ —~+.>— Our State Geologist. The development of North Carolina. In a recent trip to the Eastern part of the State we spent a day in Raleigh, and meeting Prof. Kerr, the State Geologist, on the street, we proposed to spend an hour or two in his Museum and examine his collection of speci- mens of minerals found within the berders of North Carolina. After seeing what Prof. Kerr has done to develope and make known to the world the rich resuurces of North Carolina, we do not hesitate to say that we regret that we ever advocated the abolishment of his office. We are confident that but very few uf our people know the richnesa and vast resources of their State—the amount of gold, silver, copper, iron and cual imbedded in the soil of North Garoltina, together with the most beautiful mar- ble and stone in her quarries is indeed aston- ishing. : In mineral resources and material wealth we do not think this State can be surpassed by any in the Union. All that is necessary to prove this isan examination of the Geological Mus- eum at Raleigh. Prof. Kerr showed the Maps he prepared and took with the World’s Exposition at Viennain 1873, exhibiting the different mineral regions of the State, the Mountains and their heights, the temperature of climate, &c., &c.—the ex- lanations being printed on ibe maps by the rofessor himself in English, German and French. The maps and the specimens of ores and native woods exhibited by Prof. Kerr at- tracted great attention at the Exposition, the Emperor of Germany several times personally examining the articles in the North Carolina Department. A rather curious or strange fact is shown by one of Prof. Kerr’s maps, viz: that the land on the North Carolina coast projects further into the Atlantic Ocean by 100 miles than that of any other coast from Florida to New York, and that the land is steadily and constantly gaining on the Ocean and narrowing its compass. Whales and other sea animale have been found imbedded several feet in the ground near Wel- don, Goldsboro, and Kinston, proving that the ocean once flowed over thore sectiona of the State, at least 100 miles from the ocean at pres- ent. We Intend to allude to this subject hereafter, but will take occasion now to suggest that the State ought to refund to Prof. Kerr the expense he incurred in going to Vienna and making known the wonderful resources of North Caro- lina.—Chaz,, Dem. —_—- —_~+—>-—— wa.

Horrible Outrage:—There are some things almost too horrible to relate, and some people who sadly exemplify the truth of the doctrine of total depravity. It affords the re- porter no pleasure to chronicle such cases as the following. One day last week a human fiend, Jim Boyden, a colored man living upon the plantation of Mr. A. H. Boyden in this county, outraged the person of his own daugh- ter, and then fled, and up to this time has not been arrested. About two weeks ago his wife died from the eflecis of a kick ip the abdomen from this monster, she being in a state of Pregnancy atthe time. We learn further that about two years ago one of hia children died, under such circumstances as to lead strongly 40 the suspicion that he had brutally beaten it to death.

It is often the case that ope of the Marge tame elephants will join a herd of wild ones and engage some in bat- tle, and while the wild ones are de- fending themselves, the hunters se- cure them. Itisa very perilous work, for no animal can be more dangerous than an enraged elephant. Elephants were very extensively used by the native kings of India in all their, ¢ampaigns. "They were 4 necessary. appendage 1n the royal re- ‘tinue; dnd in all public demonstra- tions. They are now extensively used for carrying burdens, transporting bag- gage, drawing artillery over rough roads and difficult places, but they are eeldom used in battle. The English now use them just as the natives did. Wherever railroads extend the ele- pbants are not used, but they are in all other places. In a recent hunt by a Rajah, north of Lucknow, twenty-two elephants were secured, and they were all val- uable. In northern India elephants are scarce, and their slaughter inall India hos been prohibited under severe pen- alties.. Under the protection of that law they have become numerous in the Madras Presidency, and in many parts very destructive. Mr, Saun- dorson, the Superintendent of Canals v1 the Madras Presidency, a man of large experience, has succeeded in one grand hunt in capturing over fifty ele- phants. He prepared a yard of fifteen acres in the bed of a stream, which had perpendicular sides. There was a large number of sportsmen from all parts of India, and a large herd was surrounded, and with trumpets and horns driven into the trap. -After being confined a short time in this large enclosure they were forced intd a small timber yard of great strength. When once safely in the yard, the pro- cess of starving and subduing by tame elephants was successful. These wild elephants range over vast tracts, and every where spread desolation in their tracks ; there are now two other large hords ou the hills which this same hunter expects to secure. It may be yeary betore either one of these herds will be caught in the right place to be driven into one of these stony en- closures. Many years since elephants were so abundant and so bold that their destruction ‘became a necessity. ‘The process adopted. by the elephant gatchers to tame the wild ones is cruel and éfien destructive to them; and the government will not permit ‘the hunt unless positively necessary.— There is generally a sort of king among these clephants, and the whole herd will follow when he Jeads; but they instinctively keep away from the towns where they seem to know they will be attacked with firearms. It is often the cnse that this king elephant is also a rogue elephant... ‘These rogues will destroy hundreds of crops, and. they often grow bold, and will take posses- sion of aroad and prevent any one from passing. depending upon the sagacity of the animal. @.of the sagacigus elephants can beeliy Ge oe hunt rs wild ones, which is frequently done. A Rajah, hoe far’ from: Lucknow, has @ - large herd, and among them several trained to hunt and subdue wild ones. The Rajah is employed by the government to neeume Avild elephants, and has from twenty-five dollars to one hundred the age aud sex of the elephant taken, ent at the hunt. One of these ele- ne will. go-out and join ha herd of wild ‘elephants, and Jow him into a yard prepared for that y ,thg female elephant. It is not ‘\freacherous work -of deceiving the male and leading him into captivity, but there are some who scem to de- light tn decoying “a victim. They ~ sometimes display surprising skill and accomplishing their work. The fe- mate clephat will follow the track of *Yhe ‘ftaté> and when near one will com, These animals seem to owea grudge to a dam in the river, and take great delight in destroying it. Elephants have a terrible dread of the tiger, and a8 soon as they sce one they lift their proboscis high in the air,and become furious, and often unmaneagable. It is very seldom that an elephant can be forced to face the . ger. ee God never takes back his gifts. If he ever gave you a sight of his truth and love, you have it still.

It may be a stormy night, and the stars are hidden; but thoy-shine op, permanent and pure, behind the driving rain, and will again look out upon you with their calm eyes and say, from their inacces- sible and infinite heights: “Be pa- tient, little child! be patient! and ‘wait till all storm and darkness shall haye passed away, for ever. ® —_—__ + a ——— Consciousness of unbelief is a sign of actual: faith.

Gentlemen, we ‘understand that the great Powera have gent you to give an account of our eondi- tion and of the ‘motive which bas led us to takeup arms. ‘These, then, are the reasons: — 1. To commence with the aga (land- lord.) Tho unfortunate small farmer who takes a piece of land to cultivate is eom- pelled to give at leaat one half of all the proceeds to the aga. If the aga cornes to visit the farmer, which happens three or four times a year, he brings all bis rela- tives, and the farmer has either to keep the aga, hia friends, their horaes, or be beaten and thrown into prison. 2. Inthe lurkiah empire they only de. mand atentb, bat the farmers conccrt with the State officials in order to exact from the peasan’ ten times more thau is prescribed by law. The rayahs must pay ; if they complain they are held to account in the courts. 3. he rayabs are bound aleo to pay customs duties, aud military tax. 4. From oar earliest recollections the ayatem of counting cattle bas been infa- mous, ‘I'urks do tbe counting; they excuse their co-religionisis but they count thirty against a poor Christian when he bas but ten, in order that the Christian may furnish the whole tax to the aga for the district. Before whom shall the Christain complain? A. Turkish jue- tice ? 5. Ifa Christian brings a Tuk into POSTERS, So eee Pent rs : é (Ou) ie aus oily joc. gol eeea og will not longer énddre thé Turkieb’ fasts. ‘We are Toes Hat bugate. ‘Tf you esas turn'to.al raf _petmanent. | Alive We shall al never fi Turks. : Merxovircu, Sept. 13, 1875. $b AN —-:0;-— PROGRAMMES, Givenlars,. | PAMPHLETS, CARDS, BLANKS, DISTILLERS' LANES, DEEDS, (Fee Simple, Sherifi’s and Commis- sioner’s), CONTRACTS, NOTES, CHECES, MORTGAGES, (Land and Chattle), court, or if the Christians is biought into the Court by the Turk, the Christian lores his case unless be bas two ‘Turkiah wit- nesses, and in any case le ia nearly sure to be put ip prision, 6. Tbe Turks employ violence to overs come our wives and daughters and force them to accept the doctrines of Telamiem., 7. Ifa Christian hae the misfortune to win a case against a Turk, be is eure to be killed within three days. 8. The Turks held in contempt our priests, our shurcher, our bells, our im. ages of sa.nta—they insult and abuse them publicly. 9. We pay taxes to the Sultan and support the numerous cficiala placed among ue; bat in return we are not given any education. We bave no schools, and if any one among us were to ask for them, he would he cast iuto prison and pay for his audacity with his head. 10, In ease of corvee the rayah ig com- pelleded to absent himself five or six days’ distance from his house, and to work without food or pay for eight day. Tho 'Turke, on the contray, are exonera ted. 11. It horsea are needed for transport- ing the families and goods of Turkish troops, the zaptris. or gendarmes ewarm the villages, seize men and horses and take them off on journeys lasting fifteen or twenty days without paying thew cither in goode or money. 12. How could we obtain full justice from Turkish tribunals while they are composed of a larga majority of Turks, with ouly two Chrigtiaus among them, the Jatter themselves being compelled to sign thedeath waryante of the moet hon: eat Christians. 13. If a Christian is requested to lend his horse and himaclt, to the government and makes an excuse that his work will not permit him to go away, or that he has sickneas in his honse, the gendarme comes immediately, beata him, clten leaving so badly that death specdily ensues. 14. Ifa Tork makes a complaint be- foro a court for debt the judgment is soon rendered. Ifa Christian makes a coni~ plaint, on the other hand, and commences suit he might wait till doomsday at least, unless he could buy the judge’s decision for ten timés the value of the claim for which he sues. °16. No eecurity under the Turkish government, 16. Ifthe aga comes to see you, he continuce to curse and blazpheme the cross, sainta, altar and church, 17. When the ‘Tarks give themselves to acts of violence they know no modera- tion. For inetance, Ismail-AgasSabaricz, who is a judge at Stolatz, recently com- pelled the rayahe to drain the Lake Kuzat for him. He made a report to the effect that the rayahs were at work on the pub: lie highways and never gave a cent to the laborers. But not he alonc—all the Turks do the eame. 18. I'he Turkish government exhibits no fairness ; their employes receive poor pay, and necessity impels them to all kinds of illegal acts and violence. 19. The ‘I'urks should no longer possess the power to illegally condemn the rayabe, The cases are conducted in tho Turkish language, which the rayahs do not un- deratand, and the Tarka act and decide according to their good pleasure. | 20.

Whittier, to carry to Washington a great anti-alavery petition against this annexation. He continued to be achampion in the antis slavery movement, and when the Whig National Convention of 1848 rejected the antinslavery resolution and nominated General T'aylor, he withdrew and assisted in organizing the free-soil party. In 1849 he became cha rman of the Masrsachusetta Free-aoil State Committee, holding the position for four years. In 1850 and 1851 he waa returned to the State Senate and was its presiding officer.

Mr. Wilsou has been one of the most decided and consistent of our public men, refusing always to compromise his princi- ples or big courge of action. Every one knew where to find him. He was among the most energetic and cfficiout suppor- ters of the government dusing the war of tho rebellion, and was chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affaire throughout the war.

With the advent of the cold season, comes also the increase of liability to fires, both from accident and careless- ness. After the utmost caation and all means of prevention have been adopted to avoid snch calamities, fires will still occur; and it is to the interest of all, whether private citizens or publie offi- cials, to be as far as possible fully pre- pared for such terrible emergencies. The convention of Chief Eugineers of Fire Departments which met last summer was composed of men experienced in their vocation, and it did much that was uses ful. he decisions of such a body of men mean something. The chief engin- cers are usually persons of weight and inflaence io their respective departments. They are consulted and their opinions often taken on the introduction of new systems and apparatus for suppressing fires, aud on the protections and precau- tions best adapted to prevent ares. They are the men largely responsible for the standard of efficiency and discipline main~ tained in their departments. Acting to-~ gether intelligently in their anuual con- ventions, they are enabled, by a compari- sion of views, to arrive at sound judg- nents on new questions that arise, aud the chicf cities of the United States re ceive the benefit of their conclusions when they return homo. Insurers and insured together are deeply concerned in the des liberations and convictions of these con- ventions. ‘The settlement of one poiut was as to the utility of the Direct Water- Supply system as a sole reliance against fires. ‘This plan proposes to deliver wa- ter all over a city at a pressure producing a stream, atauy hydrant, of the same roree as that scout through the most pows ful steam engine. ‘The pressure is not obtained from the height of the reservoir, bu. from a force-pump at the water-works. It is the same agency used for the deliv- ery of watcr throughout the city, but is increased to a high degree on notification that a fire has broken out. The system operates well 23 aa anxiliary of a fire de- partmeut provided with movable engines ; but one of its great claims for adoption is put on the ground that engines may be dispensed with altogether, and that only a few firemen are needed to screw hose to the bydrants and direct the streams on the burning baildings. Sevoral of the cities of the West had adopted the system and abandoned the use of fire-engines. The convention of 1874 appointed a committee to gather facts and opinions from all sources relat- ing to this subject, and the replies were overwhelmingly against the exclusion of fire-engines as aids of the Direct Service System. ‘This is now adoptcd as the sense ot the convention, and it should, and pro- bably will, prevent the further imitation of a bad example. The science of extinguishing fires is ae yet far from complete. ‘There are agents more efficacious than water for cortain classos of fire. Petroleum fires will not yield to water unless thrown on in ims mense quantities, but they succamb to carbonic acid gas, nitrogen, sand and clay, and the convention approves of the use of these articles. The chemical fire-engines come ia for a favorable notice. These in- cludes the small portable extinguishers, and the larger machines carried about on wheels. By far the larger proportion of the injury now done at fires results from the too liberal use ot water, which drips through the different floors of a building and caases large losses among goods re- mote from the actual: place of fire and not endangered by it. —_—___~~-£)>--_-—___ An Austrian Justice-Room. BY MR. WILLIAM HOWITT, The different modes of administering justice in different countries is a curious study. In England the decisions of a magistrate, both honorary and stipeadiary, are often far from satisfactory. The London stipendiary magistrates, notwith~ standing that we havo six hundred legie~ lators sitting in St. Stephens half the year to make laws, is frequently unable to find a law applicable to the case in hand. In other cases he is far too much tied up by red tape and precedents to al- low him to decide according to the dictates of common sense. In Germany the mag- istrates is left much more to his own free judgment, and can himself decide, as our judges in equity do; and in my various experiences I have been much struck by the prompt aad correct decisions given. In all cases in which I have had to apply to a German magistrate during the laat forty years, I have received the most satiafactory and speedy justice, and what is more, ae cheap asspeedy. Ounce, when on travel, a dishonest fellow, whom I had engaged to put on an extra horse up & long bill, Pcisted on drawing me down the bill again on the other side with his ex- tra horse, and became very violent, and even menacing, on arriving at @ solitary lace. In the next village I sent for the pecpumadiar and etated the case. The burgomaster was the village blacksmith, ( co ae 2 | bristiau, and bas taken an active inter- a in promoting the cause of religion. and came to the inn with bia legther apron on, and with his shirt sleeves warged up, On hearing my statement and then the man’s, he said to the fellow, ‘Where did you put your horse in coming down here—before the carriage or behind it?’ “Before,” said the fellow. “Then be off with you as a rascal,’’ said the burgomas- ter; “nobody wants an extra horse to pull him down a hill. Had you put him be- hind, as a drag, I would have given you your money.” I doubt whether an Eng- lish Lord Chancellor would have given so clearly just a decision—so prompt a one certainly not. And then as to ex- pense! My judicial Vulcan refused any fee for his really valuable service; aad on my begging that, at least, he would go in and have a bottle of wine, replied, “No ; I'll have a choppin of beer, but I will | P pay for it myself.” 6n I expressed my regret that I could give him no proof of my sense of the obligation he had con- ferred-upon me;-be said, “Well, if ever see a countryman of mine seal help in England, give it him.” I have never forgotten the village Rhadamanthus, and on various occasions have repaid his services to his countrymen. I wish I could say as much of the administration of juetice in Italy. wi “IN THE BOTTOM DRAWER.” I saw my wife, pull out the bottom drawer of the old family bureau this even- ing, and I went softly out, and wandered up and down, until I knew that she had shut it up and gone to her sewing. We have some things in that drawer which the gold of kings could not buy, and yet they are relics which grieve us until both our hearts aro sore. I haven’t dared look at them fora year, but J remember each article. There are two worn shoes, a little chip hat with part of the brim gone, some stockings, pants, a coat; two or three spools, bits of broken crockery, a whip and several things. Wife—poor thing— goes to that drawer every day of her life and prays over it, and lets her tears fall upon the precious articles, bat I dare not go! Sometimes we speak of little Jack, but not often. Ithas been a long time, but somehow we can’t get over grieving. He was such a burst of sunshine into oar lives that his going away has been like covering our every day existance with a pall.—Sometimes when we sit alone of an evening, I writing and sho sewing, a child on the street will call out as our boy used to, aud we will both start up with beating hearts anda wild hope, only to find the darkness moro of a burden than ever. It is so still and quiet nov. I look up at the window where his blue eyes used to sparkle at my comiug, but he is not there. I listen for his pattering fect, bis merry shout and ringing laugh, but there is no sound. There is no one to climb over my Knces, no one to search my pock- ets for presents, and I nover find the chairs turned over, the croom down, or ropes tied to the door knobs. I want some one to tease me for my kuife ; to ride on my shoulder; to loose my axe; to follow me to the gate when I goand to meet me when J come; to call ‘good night’ from the httle bed, now empty. And wife she misses him still more ; there are no little feet to wash; no prayera to say; no voice teasing for lumps of sugar or sobbing with pain of a hurt toe; and she would give her whole life almost, to wake at midnight and look across to the crib and seo our boy there as he used to be. So we preserve our relics, and when we are dead we hope that strangers will handle them tenderly, cven if they shed no tears over them. A Declaration and Call by the Indianapo- lis Inflationists. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 19.—The follow- ing declaration and call, signed by over 3,000 yoters of this city will appear in The Indianapolis Sun to-morrow : In view of the continued and increased depression of busicess, resulting in the failures and bankruptcy of all preductiyo enterprise, the euforeed idleness of thou- sands of honeet industrious working peo~ ple, the continued’ shrinkage of values and the relative increase of taxation, the vast burden of public and private debt relatively increased by the depression of all other valucs, all produced as we be- lieve by a mistaken policy of financial legielation; therefore We, the undersigned, citizens and vo- ters of the City of Indianapolis, and vis cinity, do unite in the following demands upon the Congress of tho United States: First: The immediate and uncondis tional ropeal of the Resumption Act of January 14,1875, commonly known as the Sherman Bill. Second: The permanent retiremeut of all National bank notes, and the substita- tion therefor of National legal-tender pa- per mouey, to be issued directly from the ‘Treasury of the United States. Third: The refunding of at least a por. tion of the present national bonded debt into bonds beatae a lower rate of interest, say 3.65 per cent per annum, intercon- vertible with national legal-tender paper money, at the pleasure of the holders. And we further unite ina call for a mass~meeting to be held at Indianapolis, Dec. 1, 1875, in furtherance of these dee wands. —_——__ ~~ —_—__-—— Mississippi papers publish the names and residence of every voter on the regia- tration list in their respective counties.

Never take ‘‘Come and see me” as a phrase meant in earnest unless it is ac- companied with a date. Such an invita- tion amounts to nothing at all. Ifa lady or gentleman desires your company he or she will appoist a time for your visit. “Call on me when you can make it convenient,” “drop in as you are pass- ing,” “make us a Visit whenever you have an hour or two to epare,,”’ are social ambiguities by which men and women of the world understand that they are not expected to do the thing requested. When eople wish to be cheaply polite there is nothing like this kind of vagueness. The eomplimentary small change of society must always be taken at a large discount. It is never worthiteface.or anything like it. Yetit is a convenient medium of ex- change, and heavy debts of gratitude that ought to be requited in better coin are often paid with it. People who haye more polish than priaciple use it lavishly —plain, blunt, honest men sparingly or not at all. Whoever makes a friendly visit toa fashionable house on the streugth of a mere “Come and see me,” will very often find that the family circle he has dropped into by request is as ungenial as the Arctic circle, and he will probably leave it with a chilly feeling that will pre- vent him from venturing into the same high latitude agaiu. But when a whole-~ souled man, who you know to be your friend, grasps you vigorously by the hand and says, ‘Come and dine with me to-day—diuuer on the table at three o’clock—be sure to come, we shall expect you,’ you can take it as cortain that your presence is warmly desired. It is pleasant always to make or rvceive a visit trom a friend, but anod on the street is all-sufficient from a fashionable acquain- tance. —__ —_—__~po———__——_—_—_ GurporD In His Grave ar Last.—We beleive little or nothing has been raid in these columns about the burial of Guibord, though the Northern dailies have presented column wpon column, day after day, for some wecks past. Briefly, for the benefit of those who have geen no account of it, we will state the case: (tnibord was a French Catholic, residing in Montreal, and owned a burial plat ia a Catholic cemetery, where his wife was buried; but to which, his owa body, after his death, was denicd admit- tance on the ground of his having become a protestant before his death. <A long and vexatious contest iu the courts of Canada grow out of this refusal on tho part of the Catholics in posgessiou of the cemetry, and after legal decision was giv- en in favor of the Executors of the deceased Guibord, they were forcibly pre- vented by the Catholics from carryiag out the decree of the conrt for the admis. sioa of Guibord’s body to the plat which belonged to him, and thus was raised a direct issue between the Sovereignty of the Province and the Catholic priests and people. On the case being reported to the proper anthorities an order was issued to the military arm in the vicinity, which, duly equipped, turned out on the 16th inst., and taking Guibord’s body from its temporary resting place, in a protestant cemetery, conveyed it to burial in his own: family plat in the Catholic grounds. We are not Bure that we can say, thus ends a bitter six year 8 struggle, for it is not yet certain that the dead protestant will be allowed undisturbed repose with dead Catholics. Ho may be torn up and his bones heaved out of the consecrated grounds, from which, doubtless, more trouble will come. LATER. The place of Guibord’s burial in Mon- treal was formally cursed by the Catholic Church on Sunday, it being declared that “the place where tho rebellious son of the church has been deposited is sep- arated from the rest of the consecrated community, to be uo longer more than a profane place, au ordiuary piece of ground.” a oo VIBRATION. If the inquirer wii! get the report of the 21st meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, he will find that Prof. Lovering, of Marvand College, said: “Whe the bridge at Colebrooke Dale (the first iron bridge in the world) was building, a fiddler came along and said to the workmen that he could fiddle their bridge down. The builders invited him to fiddle away to his heart’s content. One note after another was etruck until one was found with whick the bridge was in sympathy, when the bridge began to shakr violently and the incredulous workmen were alarmed at the unexpected reault and ordered the fiddler to stop.” Let me add, Tyndall tells us that “the Swiss muleteers tie up the bell of the mules for fear the tinkle sbauld bring an avalanche down ;’’ and “the breaking of a drinking-glasa by the human voice, when its fundamental note is sounded, is 4 wellsauthenticated feat. ——————-——— L@ A.

Port Jarvis, Nov. 22.—Mrs. Lowrie, a converted actress, is conducting a series of revival meetings inthe Drew M. E. Church, in this village. The meetings are attended by thousands of people, and over five hundred cenverts have been made. The number includes many weal- thy and prominent residents. Mrs. Low- ric is an eloquent speaker, and an excels lent vocalist. JLer discourses are delive ered while she walks about the house. They are full of extravagant and impase« sioned passages, interspersed with werid hymns and wild gestures. She weilds a powerful influence over the large congre- tion that assemble to hear her, and her voice is frequently drowned by their shouts. ‘I'wo avowed infidele—one a contributor to the Boston Investigator— are among ler converts.

One of tha simplest and daintiest of the home arts that have lately come into fashion is the making of pictures by “snatter-work.” ‘lhe following dirctions for amaturcs in the process, we copy from the Scientific American :—“Spatter- work pictures, teually delicate designa in white, appearing upon a éoftly shaded ground, are now very populsr, and are, with a little practice, easily produced. Procure a sleet of fine, uncalendered drawing paper, and arrange thereon a bouquet of preased leaves, trailing vines, letters, or any design which it is desired to have eppear in white. Fasten the ar- ticles by pins etuck into the smooth eur- face, which should be underneath the paper. ‘Then slightly wet the bristles of a tooth or other brush in rubber Indian ink or common black writing iuk, then draw them across a stick in such a mane ner that the bristles will be bent and then quickly released. ‘hie will cause a fine epatter of ink upon the paper. Continue the spatteriug over all the leaves, pins and paper, allowing the centre of the pattern to reteive the most ink, the edges shading off. When done, remove the design, and the forms will be found produced with accuracy on the tiated ground. With a rustic wooden frame this forms a very cheap aud pretty ornament. —~+e--— A FarMER MURDERED AND ROBBED. —A special telegram to the Richmond Dispatch from Franklin, Va., of the 24th inst., Bays: Oscar Kitchen, a farmer, who lived oear Vicksville, in this county, was mur- dered and robbed yesterday morning.

Davis, Wilmingson District, and Wm. O'Neill; Satlitf, They bota ments are not otherwise provided for, and no | guch officers shall be appointed.” “The words in italfs are stricken out, so that the section as amended will read as follows: “The Governor shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent ofa majority ofthe Senators elect, appoint all officers, whose offi- ces are established by this Constitution, &nd whose appointments are pot otherwise provid- ed for.” his The scope, and intention of this amendment is to restore to the popular branch of the Gov- ernment, to-wit: the Legislature—the right and authority to provide for the election and ap- | pointment of all officers, whose offices are not otherwise provided for in the Constitution it- zelf. It authorises the same body, which shall create an office, to All it. The experience of the last seven yeara proves, that teo much power is vested in the Governor, under the present Con- stitution. One Governor resisted and defied the authority of the Courts, so that the Chief Justice declared liimeelf utterly powerless to enforce the execution of a simple writ of habeas corpus, which the Governor politely refused to obey, but contented himself with delivering an opinion, that the Chief Magistrate of the State had plainly violated the law, and adding that, as there was no power that he knew of, under the laws of the State, to authorize the arrest of the Governor, he therefore declared “that the power of the Judiciary was exhausted.” Another Governor, equally reckless, positive- ly refused to perform a plain ministerial duty, imposed upon him by an Act of the Legislature, upon the alleged pretext, that said Act was unconstitutional—thus usurping the functions of the Judiciary, and constituting bimself a Judge in his own case. It is worthy of remark, that the Forty-nine Republican signers of the “ Protest” do not seem , to have considered this amendment as liable to exception. I presume for this reason, because they had severely denounced the whole ten- dency of the action of the Convention as being “in direct subversion of the rights of the pco- ple, designed and intended to take the power from the many, and vest it in the few, and to restore to power that oligarchy, under whose control the rich grew richer and the poor poor- er in theolden time.” Iftherefore, they had in the same breath protested against such an | amendment as this which plainly takes away un- last the | W.

The United States House of Representatives was virtually organized on Saturday last, in caucus of the Democratic members, by the nom- ination of MicraE C. Kerr, of Indiana, for Speaker; Mr. ADAMS, of Kentucky, for Clerk; TuHomxrsoyx, of Ohio, for Sergeant-at-Arms; C. H. Frrzuven, of Texas, for Doorkeeper; and JAMES Stuart, of Virginia, Postmas- ter. Allthe above nominations were formally ratified in the House of Representatives on Monday. Mr. KERR is spoken of asa gentleman emi- nently fitted to preside, and as firmly devoted to Constitutional principles. He was a war Democrat, but has stood up against the radical persecution of the South since the war. Hasa large experience as a member of Congress, and is calm and firm amidst great excitement. Col. LAMAR of Mississippi was chosen as Chairman of the Democratic caucus, Saturday, and on taki..g his seat delivered the following patriotic speech : Gentlemen :—In calling me to this position of responsibility and distinction you have confer- red an honor which [appreciate most highly, and fur which I thank you most cordially. We here are confronted with a crisis in the Demo- cratic party of the country which brings to our party grand opportunities, but is at the same time freighted fur us with solemn responsibili- ties—and if we do not improve these opportu. nities and rise to the measure of the responsi- bilitiea the fruits of the great political revoln- tion which has brought us here to-day will be for us like the fruit which grows upcn thc shores of the accursed sea. ‘The people of this conn- try by overwhelming majorities of States, and majorities in votes, have placed the Democratic party, aftera long period of exclusion from power, in posseasion of the most important part of Federal Government. When [I say lnpor- tant, I do not mean that the individual mem- bers are invested with imposing prerogatives or great personal distinction. The departments of patronage—those which hold and command the glittering prizes of governmental emoluments and honor—are the co-ordinate branches ol the Government, which are still under the contro of our political opponents. The members of the House of Representatives have no patron- age whatever beyond that of the appointment of a military or naval cadet, and their compen- sation is barely adequate to a republican life of simplicity and pradential economy. ‘Phere are many offices inthe giftof the Executive far more profitable, and in the public esteem far more distinguished, than that of a seatin the House of Kepresentives; but this branch is nevertheless, under our system of government, the corner-stone of our fabric of Liberty, because it is the only departinent of the Federal Gov- ernment directly responsible to the people of the country and receiving its power directly from their hands. All the other branches of the Government are two or three degrees re- moved frum the people in the mode of their selection or inthe nature of their responsibili- ties. But whilethe house of Representatives is thus immediately responsible to the people, all the other-branches of the Government are responsible to this body. The people of the country have charged us, have charged the Democratic party m the House of Representa- tives, with the important duty of bringing these co-ordinate branches of the Government to their just responsibility, and thus, by an uner- ring instinct or by keen intelligence, have blended together our duty, our interest, and our inclinations. ‘There has becn for some time in the public mind a conviction, profound and all-prevading, tnat the civil service of this coun- try has not been directed from considerations of public good, but from those of party profite, and for corrupt, selfish, and unpatrotic designs. The people demand at our hands A SWEEPING AND THOROUGH REFORM which shall be conducted in a spirit that will secure the appointment to places of trust and responsibisity the honest, the experienced, and the capable. There is also an imperative de- mand that a vigilant examination be made into thefadministration of the public revenue of the conntry both in its collection and its disburse- ment; that all che public accounts be scrutinized by ug, as it is the solemn privilege and duty of the House to do; and that CORRUPTION BE FERRETED OUT, and wrong-doers, no matter how high or low, ehall be fearless arrainged and fully exposed and punished. There is a growing and irresis- tible sentiment in the country that under the specious theory of protecting and fostering par- ticular industries and interests a system of mis- called revenue laws has been in operation det- rimental and blasting to allthe other great in- terests of the country, and maintained at the expense of the general revenueand to the injury of the great majority of the people, and those classes—the fartmers.and laborers—who are least able to bear the burden of oppres- sive laws. One of the highest and most presa- ing demands upon us will be not only to insist on bringing down the expense of the Government to the neede only of economic- al administration but to perfect and adopt such a system of taxation as will bring in the requir- ed revenve with the fewest restrictions upon commerce and with the least burden to the peo- ple, and that burden equitably distributed and skillfully acjusted. Owing to the éxigencies of one of those inter- necine conflicts incidential to the life of almost every country, and also a pernicious system of legislation, our people, our business investments, our commerce, and all the diversified interests of the country, are suffering from the EVILS OF AN IRREDEEMABLE CURRENCY. In meeting and grappling with the difficulties of this vital end perplexing question it will be our duty to take care that nothing is done to impair the good faith of the country or tarnish the public honor, or lower or disturb the credit of our Government; but we are to remove those obstructions which bar the progreasand check the prosperity of the American republic, It is our duty as Democrats, it ia the duty and *& us . isto be the glory of the Democratic party while it controls the House to sce that the na- tior.al debt ia paid in full and that the currency of this democratic republic is made equal with that of any nation on earth. Upon the part of those who have been vested with the political power and destiny of our country during the last ten or fifteen years it has been a freqnent remark that the ERA OF CONSTITUTIONAL POLITICS HAD CLO6ED, that questions of constitutional limitations and restrictions were no longer to hinder er delay the legislation of the Government in its deal- ings with financial, economical, or social sub- jects, which were, it ia assumed, now the only matters worthy of public attention; and yet amidst their grand boastings the Forty-third Congress found themselves faced with the gra- vest questions of constitutional law, reaching down to the fundamental syetem, and invol- ving not only the relations of the State to the Federal Government, but that of the people and their own home-government. The grand- est aspiration of the Democratic party is, and its crowning glory will be, to RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION TO ITS PRISTINE STRENGTH AND AUTHORITY, apd to make it the protector of every section and of every State in the Union, and of every human being of every race, aolor, and condition inthe land, Ap sie: Bi aa 3 ae one party of the nation that that portion of Southern people who were Brrayet authority ofthe Federal Government.’ the American Union bas muinly disappeared, as is evidenced by your election. In its stead bas grown @ more fraternal feeling, which re-. gards us of the Southern States as fellow-citi- zens of the same great nation, And, on the other hand, the people of whom I speak, of whom | am one, are nereto-day, by their chosen representatives, ready to honor any draft which the American people may draw upon their patriotism or their faith in the glory and the beneficient destiny of American inetitutions.— {Applause,] The experiment which has been introduced amongst us, based upon confidence in the working of local self-government, and intended to solve the DIFFICULTIES CONNECTED W)TH RECENT SO- CIAL AFD POLITICAL TRANSFORMATIONS, shall have an open field and fair play. No hindrance shall be placed in the way of its vigorous development and its amplest success. [Applause.] t has been said that the day of sentimental politics has passed away; but, gen- tlemen ,there is one part of this {Union—that part which 1 know best—which asks for the great moral nutriment toe spirited and noble people. We want a Government that we can love and revere, and serve frou the motive of reverence and love. We hunger for a patriot- ism which shall : . KNIT ALL THE PEOPLE TOGETHER ina generous and Joving brotherhood, and which shall be as broadias the territory over which the national flag floats. Let me say here that no government, no pation can prosper without this vital fire. It is the sentiment which acting upon free institutions and reach- ing throngh them upcn a people constitutes their public spirit and political genius. Gentlemen, we are here as Democrats, mem- bers of a political party which has a long and glorious bistory. Let us in our duties this winter recall and revive those principles the faithful maintenance of which by the fathers of our country secured for so long a period the confidence and support of the people. Let us seek to renew the prosperity and advance the greatness and glory of our country. Let us resolve to win the confidence, the affection, of the whole American people for our party by showing them that we, its representatives have statesmanahip, patriotism, and strength of purpose enough to deserve that confidence and afiection. Let us not forget that THE GREAT VICTORY OF LAST FALL which brought us here, and which gives us these opportunities and great responsibilities, was achieved not alone by Democratic votes, but with the co-operating efforts of patriotic and unselfish men of all parties who, wearied and alarmed by the unceasing evils resulting from corruption and maladministration, chose to call us to our duty of checking these evils and clearing away these corruptions, wise we shall so rule ourselvea and so serve our country as to retain the confidence of these voters. / REFORMS ARE CRGENTLY NEEDED. If weare Let us wisely make them. A renewed pros- perity is every where carnestly desired. Let us, by removing unjust discriminations, by imposing rigid economy, by restoring a sound carrency, by securing the equal rights of all the States and all the people, make the Demo- cratic party the author of a new presperity, so we may begin for our parts a new and glorious career, in which its history should be once more, ns formerly, the story of the Union’s greatest grandeur and the people's universal happiness and contentment.

We took occasion to visit some of his church members who received us with the utmost kindness. Among others, we visited A.

Three miles of the road-bed is being rapidly got ready for the iron, and work on the main tunnel is also being pressed with vigor. The three miles, just beyond Old Fort which it is hoped to get running very shortly will go beyond “dark-hollow fall,” which is the worst waggoning this side of Asheville. Last Thursday night, while a very quiet audience was waiting for the exercises of the concert to commence, they were startled by several screams with a tremendous crash. Ou looking aroucd for the cause, saw that ove of the long benches that reaches half way across Meroney’s Hall had given away. It was crowded with ladies and gentlemen at the time. Noonewas hart, but some of of them looked very :nuch scared. Srreet Lamps.—Having recently heard some one complaining of the quality of the gas now used in Salisbury, our attention was forcibly called to the subject last Wednesday night, which for blackness is rarely excelled. To our astonishment one light (at Coffin’s corner) cast a.distinct shadow at the dis- tance of 200 yards, and was serviceable iu guiding the pedestrian the distance of four hundred yards. We don’t think there is much cause to complain. He was looking somewhat down cast, and was about to retire with blasted hopes, alone in the world, no one to love, when a sudden stop was put to kis intentions by a swect melodious voice in another apart- ment singing, “almost persuaded.” He gained hope, and put forth another mighty effort to gain his only love. She looked a little serious and he became more vehe- ment,—then left with his first intentions. Drs. Green & Bentley of Charlotte, N.C., will be at the *Boyden House,” Salisbury, on the Mth of Dee., for the.purpose of con- sulting with the afflicted. The reputation of this firm in connection with the success: ful treatment of Cancers, aud all long stand- ing and obscure Chronic diseases, is too well kuowu throughout North and South Caroli- na to need more than a passivg notice. We would advise all,those needing their services to avail themselves of this opportu- uity, believing they will be houestly dealt with, aud benefited by so doing. Important to Grrangers : On the 12th day of Oct., 1874, the Execu- tive Committee of Kentucky State Grange adopted the Remington Sewing Machine for “the various Subordinate Granges in Ken- tucky, as well worthy of their consideration and purchase.” Since that time, large pum- bers of machines haye been sold to members of the Order throughout the State, and the number is rapidly increasing. Every ma- chine is fully warranted for five years, and by a responsible company. Every machine sold is guaranteed to give full satisfaction, or the purchaser has the privilege of return- ing it.—Jouisville Cour. Journal. 39> These Machines are on exhibition and for sale by J. A. CLODFELTER & CO., T4t} Salisbury,jN. C. Gas :—The Charlotte Observer let off a little gas last week to the effect that the consumption of gas by the Central Hotel of that place, was greater than that of the whole town of Salis- bury. The amount consumed by that Hotel amounting to $112 per month. That was too gruelly entirely, 80 next day it corrected it so asto read “the Central Hotel building.” which includes a bar room, a billiard room, barber shops, wholesale hardware house &c &. Well, that may beso or it may nut, but one thing we do know, and that is that in Charlotte the price of gas is $3 per thousand feet, while in Salis- bury it is $7, or if mot promptly paid within the first few days of the month—#$3 dollars per thousand. And that’s where the joke comes in. We pay one hundred and fifty per cent more for gas than is charged in Charlotte for the same arti- tle, and consequently many of our citizens have quit using it, and if tae price ia not reduced, the gas works will soon be s silent monument to the stupidity (or cupidity ?) of their owners and managers. ANoTHER Victiu.—The firm of Wm. Tiddy & Sone has been offered up on the altar of “commercial interests.” They went into the lst National Bank, and the enormona interest on the borrowed money consumed all their profits. These gen- tlemen have the sincere sympathy of all good people. They had boundless en- ergy, tine business capacity and untiring industry, and they gave all to the closest attention to their work. If they failed with a bank burden on them, no one else need try. All the enterprises that might have built up Charlotte and given em- ployment to hundreds of deserving poor mcv, women and children, have been slaughtered in the same way. Young & Wilkea, Whienant & Sons, Guion & Co., the Stowe Brothers, all tell the eame tale of ruin and death. When aman engaged in a legitimate business borrows money at usurious interest, his friends may as well put on crape aad toll the bell.— Southern Home. We regret to hear of the above failure. It is aad, indeed to see industrious, honest, and use- ful men sink as shown above. And it should prove a warning to others. Many of our peo- ple at a time when business prospects were more favorable than now, made debts which they ex- pected soon to pay. Some have done so and others are still striving for it. The times have become unpropitious, and those who are yet be- hind may have to put forth greater efforts than ever to secure their fina] emancipation.

For reasons already given, the house was not as large aa we could have wished to see, but there was avery respectable atten- dance. The Proggramme was. splendid, and the concert was pronounced by competent judges to be the best ever given in The music by the band consisted of selections from some of the best and most popular operas, and rendered ina style unsurpassed by any other band in the country. The vocal and in- strumental duetts and solos by the young ladies who assisted, were splendidly rendered, and — pepe th wise in regard to their execution and purity of style. The Poet and Peasant was'superbly done, and did credit to the ladies and gentlemen that compose our “Musical.” Dr. Griffith’s solo was very happily rendered, and would have been more universally admired by the adiesif he had been a little more generous, and not cast all bis glances at one “sweet little individual.” Some of the girls didn’t like it much, but they will excuse him this time if he will promise not to be so naughty ip future. Mr. EB. Neave’s cornet solos were simply exquisit. Salisbury may well boast of the best cornet player in this coun- try. The grand frature of the concert was the Trambone solos by Prof. Wm. H. Neave. His execution is wonderful, The purity of tone, grace and expression in which he rendered those difficult solos, fix him as one of the best, if not the very best Trambone player in the United States. His flute solo was also specially admir- ed as he produced the richest tones and broughtout the most molodiousjstrains with rare skill. In all, this was perefction in the shape of a concert—so we thought; but Prof. Neave tells us that there will bes decided improvement in the next, which will come off sometime in Jan- uary, Our citizens may prepare themselves to hear somethnig very uousnal. The band is all ready making selections for their second concert, and we know that they will succeed in whatever they undertake in this line, for they have undoubted talent and ability to back them. INCENDIARISM. We understand Mr, John Ganup_ had his barn entirely eousuwed by fire last Thursday night. Supposed to be the work of jnceudi- aries. He lost a largequautity of hay and other forage, besides a mule, two horses, two cows and calves, and a threshing machine. About a year ago soine evil disposed person burnt about thirty cords of wood for bim and cut to piecee his new wagon. Mr. Canup is the son-in-law of Mr. George V. Bost, and a very worthy, peaceable aud industrious It is thought have a grudge agaiust Mr, Bost, the father- in-law of Mr. Canup, and are determined to visit their revenge in part, at least, on him. About two years ago these fieuds incarnate burnt Mr. Bost’s tobacco barn, cuntainiug a quantity of tobacco; and ou the same night, broke iuto pieces the wheel of his grist mill, and cut to pieces the belting and the bolting cloths. The samme parties (vr supposed to be.) in the Spring of 1874, barat Mr. Bost’s barn, coutaining a large amount of hay, fed- der and other forage, aud also his threshing machive besides a large quantity of cord wood. ' Inthe summer of the same year they cut dowu corn; aud about three weeks ago, burnt four stacks of hay worth not less than sixty dol- lars. Mr. Bost and bis son-in-law, Mr. Ceuup, certainly deserve the sympathy of the community. They have had nearly all their worldly goods consumed from time to time by these fiends, and live in constant dread and apprehension of having their dwellings burnt down over their heads. They both have made every effort to detect and discover the authors of these devilish out- rages, but thus far the devils have baffled all their efforts. Mr. Bost’s neighbors ought to exert them- selves more strenuously to aid him in having these offenders brought to justice. It is hard to realize that we have such fiends among us. They have exhibited towards Mr. Bost a malicious and revengéful spirit that is not surpassed in savage cruelty by that of the uncivilized Tudian. And etrange to say, Mr. Bost, while he has a vague suspicion as | to who are the perpetrators of these dark deeds, is unable to account for the implaca- ble enmity they seem to have against him and his son-in-law. Barn burning has become so frequent in our county that our citizens ought to offer rewards for the apprehension of all such off- endere, 60 a6 to put an end to it if possible. citizen. these ineendiaries several acres of green growing IN MEMORIAM. Departed this life on Sunday eve, Nov. 28, Mre. Ghristina C. Fisher, aged 40 years. She was the wife of J. W. Fisher, Master of Shiloh Grange. She was buried on Tuesday by the Patrons of Husbandry according to the ceremonies of their order.

We would be recreantto our duty if we attempted to disguise thé fact that crime is on the increase in the Western part of the State, and that murders bave become go frequent as to divest them of part of their horror. Nearly all men go armed, and the ready pistol is made the arbiter for the settlement of the moet trifling disputes, Even relatives do not hesitate to stain their hearthstones with the blood of their kinsman, and then ats tempt a justification of the deed on the ground of “self-defence.” A correspon- dent writing from Webster on the 23rd inst., informa ua that on the day previous about noon, James Frizzle shot and in- stantly killed his brother-in-law, Cling~ man Buchanan, in the house of the for~ mer.

About a dozen fiiends and neighbors were engaged in conversa tiou in the room where the corpse waa when, as the siory runs, aud as each one of the party is ready to solemuly affirm, there suddenly emerged from tbe side wall of the room a uumber of small jets of what appeared like gas flame of a goldeu color. These jets moved along and ranged themselves is a circle or wreath about the lead of the corpse, and contiu- ued to burn for half a minute, changing from their goldeu color toa dark blue hue. The party was too much terrified to make any investigation of the remarxable phe- nomenon, though it was generally accept: ed as the work of sume supernatural agency, aud as portentious of good tu the spirit ot the deccascd.— Boston Merald.

He kisses them in his sunshine, fondles them in the Summer breezes, and joy is in their eyes and in their hearts. Plants and flowers, beasts and birds, fishes and insects, all feel the law of love from their Creator. The plants bloom in beauty, the beasts skip and play in rapture, the birds sing in swectest melodies, the fish leap joyfully in the limpid stream, the insects dance in delight, in the sunny air. Love is everywhere. The love of Him, who is all love, dwells in every creature, the constant spring of all that is. Little girls and boys, who have not love in their hearts for all that lives, are very far from deserving the love of their good Creator. And yet there are many little girls and boys, and, alas, many grown-up men and women, who, although they may feel qnite certain that it Is right to “love one another,” have very lit- tle love to the things God has made for their use, much less to those which seem to be of no use to them. Some cruel men will for their sport only, sadly ill-use the noblest of ani- mals—the horse. It was but yester- day that Peter Parley read an account of a steeple-chase, as it is called, in which horses are made to leap over high rails, deep ditches, stakes, and hedges. In this steeple-chase no less than five horses were obliged to be killed after the race; three had their backs broken, and two their legs snap- ped. Now, little boys do not ride steeple- chases; but they will train themselves to this kind of sport by wanting love and kindness to the things that are around them. But of this they may be sure, that every cruel act will so harden the heart and render the mind so dead to the voice of humanity, that as they grow up to be men, the love of cruelty will prevail in them and disgrace their name and nature. Many children are unkind to ani- mals from shecr want of thought. But the same law that teaches men and women not to do to others what they would not like done to themselves, ought to keep boys and girls from hurting such things as they may chance to have power over, for the abuse of power is a great crime, After God had made all things and pronounced them good, he made man in his own image, full of sense and goodness. He gave him dominion over fowls of the air, and the fish of the sea, and every living thing that mov- eth upon the earth. But man was not to bea tyrant. “What is atyrant?” you inquire. A tyrant is one who uses his might against the law of right, who acts ac- cording t» his own will, who enslaves, imprisons, kills, and destroys whoever and whatever he pleases,.and will suf- fer no one to call him to account; you read of such men in every history of the world. | bird, to put in a cage, for a cage “ RAO ARs Are te eR ARE MIRS it gat NR CLs , eS ats : . cruel. It is cruel to set trap for @ 1s a prison; and a boy is nothing better is a jailer, and tyrant too. Do not think that nice food and seeds, and even care and attention, can be any compensation to the bird deprived of its liberty. Liberty is the greatest gift of God to man, the greatest gift he has given to the beast, the bird, and the insect, and when we deprive any of God’s creatures of that gift, all the love and the kindness we can show them is but poor recompense. Man has enslaved the horse, the dog, the camel, the reindeer, and many other animals. They do his bidding, bear his burdens, and lose a life of freedom and happiness for one of pain and labor. They groan and wince under the lash, the curb, or the chain. They wear their lives away in sorrow, ‘n the close stall, the confined crib, or the fenced yard. Their youth is spent in effort and labor, their old age in pain and mysery, with bruised bones, scarred skin and blind eyes. What can make amends for this ?—nothing but kindness; and even then we are the animals’ debtors for more than we can ever pay. Many little boys and _ girls who would think it wrong to be wilfully cruel, are very unfeeling and forgetful. How many there are who doat upon pets. Yet, the fate of pets is usually unfortunate, and, very frequently, through the neglectful conduct of those who love them. It is very common for boys to keep rabbits, and for girls to keep canaries. At first we find those who pet them very attentive; they feed them, often over-feed them, watch them, and fon- dle them; after a while some other favorite object engrosses their atten- tion, and the pet is left, not untre- that care would have prevented, or to die of starvation. A young friend of mine, Edmund, was a kind-hearted boy enough, but he was very inconstant; he would take a violent affection to a thing; but this affection soon went off, and he became in a few days as cold and heartless as he seemed to be warm and full of love. _On one oceasion he had seen a squirrel at the shop of a dealer in birds and fancy animals, and he was delighted to see it turn round and round in its little cage, and he would stand and watch it for a long time, as he went to and from his school every day. At last he prevailed upon his mother to give him-the sum required for the purchase of the animal, and -having obtained it, brought it home in great glee. It hada place alloted to it in Edwin’s own play room; and the boy had several projects ing his head to make his squirrel more and more happy. So squirrey was _pani- pered and fed. Every week Edwin laid out the greater part of his pocket- money in the purchase of nuts for his pet, and he carefully cleaned its cage every morning before breakfast, and hung it up in his place every night. Squirrey grew tame, and would suffer Edwin to take him in and out of the cage, and to play with him; and Ed- win was very fond of and very proud of his pet. And he might have remained so for some time longer, but one of his young friends purchased a magpie, which he had taught to talk; and a very talkative bird it was, and a very merry one, too. It hopped and jump- ed about, and seemed to care for no- body; it chattered, and fluttered, and turned its head on one side to look up at you with such provoking assurance, that everybody laughed at ana ad- mired the magpie. Edwin was en- tranced from that moment—the fate of poor squirrey was sealed. A mag- pie Edwin was determined to have. Now itso happened, that master magpie was not only a very talkative bird—he was also a very meddlesome one. He did not exactly respect the property of others, so Edwin found no difficulty in purchasing a magpie; but while the negotiation was going on, and the money was being hoarded, poor squirrey severcly sufferred. His supply of nuts was at first reduced, and now and then his bread-and-milk was forgotten. Squirrey felt every day the pangs of hunger, and he long- ed for the green trees, where he could find a profusion of food for winter stores; but the bars of his prison were strong. At last, one day—it was the day the magpie came home, his supply of food quite failed. Squirrey deter- mined to break prison, and forced his head between the bars of his cage; he could not get his body through, how- ever, and alas, owing to the projections of his ears, could not get his head back again, and was thus strangled. I will leave my young readers to boy upon his beholding his pet dead at the bottom of his cage. I will not describe his sobbings aud Jamentations, There was no one to mark them but magpie, who was hopping about the play-room, and at last hopped to the top of the dead squirrel’s cage, and looking down upon Edwin, said, with a roguish leer, “you are a stupid.” Edwin was more than a stupid; but still the set phrase of the magpie had its effect upon him. “I have been,” said he to himself, “stupid indeed, and wicked, too.” And so my young friends are all they who neglect those whom they are bound to cherish and to love. They who are fond of pets should reflect, that when they have them, they incur a kind of a respon- sibility; they are bound to feed them, 4 There are many ways of net ty- ranig—there are mapy ways of and to care for them, and if they fail thana jailer, nay, much worse, for he |Y quently, to perish by some accident |: imagine the feelings of this inconstant rage aeerennannian in this, they are really very wicked ; while the habit of inconstancy, and of fickleness, will render them in mature ears both dangerous and despisable among their fellow-creatures, w owill put neither faith nor trust in them. Trrep BY His Peers.—Mr. Par- sons, a lawyer in Chicago, was trying a case before a jury, being counsel for the prisoner. The judge was very hard upon him, and the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Mr. Parsons moved for a new trial. The judge denied the motion, and remarked: “The Court and the jury think the prisoner a knave and a fool.” The counsel promptly replied: “The pris- oner wishes me to say he is perfectly satisfied—he has been tried by a court and jury of his peers !” Evecant CompLiment.— Mr. Hen- ry Erskine being one day in London, in company with the Duchess of Gor- don, asked her, “Are we never again to enjoy the honor and_ pleasure of your Grace’s society at Edinburgh ?” “Qh,” said she, “Edinburgh is a vile dull place, I hate it.” “Madam,” re- plied the gallant barrister, “the sun might as well say, this is a vile dark morning, I won’t rise to-day.” —_—_—_——+<->- A young bachelor who had been ap- pointed sheriff was called upon to serve an attachment on a beautiful young widow. He accordingly called upon her, and said: “Madam, I have an attachment for you.” The widow blushed, and said that his attachment was reciprocated. “You don’t understand me: you must proceed to court.” “I know it is leap year, sir, but I prefer you to do the courting.” “Mrs. P , this is no time for trifling ; the justice is waiting.” “The justice! I prefer a parson.” ee “The bright and beautiful we here behold Are only shadows of sublimer things. Stretching themselves across the vale of time, They are but drift-weed from the grander shores Of Immortality, for which our hearts Pant in our calmer moods, when moon, or stars, Still sea, or golden clouds arrest our gaze, The sunbeams lift our thoughts to heaven, just as They draw the dew-drops from the earth, and weave Them into drap’ry for the sky. The moun- tains, - Too, are steps that far Loftier than their proudest summits reach, Or eagle’s wing hath touched. The very flowers : That fade do prophecy of deathless bloom In yon fair world, where summer neyer ends.” 90 How fall of meaning is the fact that we have nothing told us of the life of our Lord between the twelfth and thirtieth years! What a testimony against all our striving and snatching at hasty re- sults, our impatience, our desire to glit- ter before the world, against the plucking of the unripe fruit of the mind and the turning of that into a season of stunted and premature harvest, which should have been a season of patient sowing, of carn- est culture and silent ripening of the pow- ers.—Trench, ~—~_ > She sat and wept beside his feet. The weight Of sin oppressed her heart; for all the blame, And the poor malice of the worldly shame, To her was past, extinct, and out of date; Only the sin remained,—the leprous state. She would be melted by the heat of love, By fires far fiercer than are blown to prove And purge the silver ore adu!terate. She sat and wept, and with her undressed hair Still wiped the feet she was so blest to touch, - And he wiped off the soiling of despair From her sweet soul, because she loved 80 much.

A Full Synopsis of the Presi- dent’s Annual Message to Con- gress. WasrixaTton, Dee. 7.—The message opens: “In submitting my seventh an- naal message to Congress in the centen- nial year of our national existence as a free ‘aud independent people, it affords me great pleasure to recur to the advance- ment that has been made from the time of the Culonies one handred years ago. We were then a people numbering only three willious ; now we number more than forty. ‘Then industries were confined al- moat excluaively to the tillage of the soil ; now manufactures absorb much of the labor of the country. Our liberties re- main unimpaired ; the bondsmen have been freed trom slavery, and wé& have become possessed of the respect, if not the friendship, of all civilized nations.” Graphic and well worked details foll>w. The President earnestly recommends that a constitutional amendinent be submitted to the legislatures making it the duty of each State to establish and forever mains tain free public schoola adequate to the education of children in rudimentary branches within their respective liuits, irrespective of rex, color, birth, place or religion, forbidding the teaching in said schools of religious, attheistic or pagan tenets and prolibiting the granting of any achool funds or echool taxes or any part thereof, cither by legislative, manicipal or other authoritics for the benefit or in aid, directly or indirectly of any re- ligious sect or denomination, or in aid, or for the benefit of any other object of any nature or kind whatever. Healludes to the importance of conecting the evil of vast amounts of uutaxed church property, and estimates shat by 1590, if unchecked, this property wil reach a sum = exceeding three thous und mniliton dollars. He would | of all property the taxation the last resting ths ouly sus vest equally, exceptl place of the lead. ~ Relations with most forciga on asatistactory aud friendly footing. ‘he Piesident is happy to an- uounced the passage of an act by the general consent of Portugal, abolishing slavery in the colonics. The past year has furnished no evidence of an approaching termination of the ruin- ous conflict which has been raging for seven years in Cuba. ‘I'he same disres gard of the laws of civilized warfare and the just demands of humanity which have heretofore called torth expressions of con-~ demnation trom the nations of Christen- dom have continucd to blacken the sad scene. Desolation, ruin and pillage are pervading the rich fields of the one of the wost fertile and productive regions of the earth, and the incendiaries toreh, firing plantations and valuable factories and buildings, is the agent marking the alter- nate advance and retreat of the conterd- ing parties. ‘he President narrates dam- age to the interests of ail commercial na- tions, eapecially to those of the United States and the security of property own- ed by the citizens of the United States inCuba. Ie had hoped Spain could beeuabled to establish peace in her colony. Because of this hope and from an extreme reluctance to interfere ‘in the affairs of another and a friendly nation, be has patiently and anxiously awaited the progreas of events. ‘I'he armed bands of cither side now occupy the ground as in the past The President makes a long argument and concludes: ‘A veeognition of the independeuce of Cuba being in my opin- lon impracticable aud indefensible, the question which next presents itself, is that of the recognition of brilligerent rights IM Farties to the contest.” After further argument, the Preaideut concludes: ‘The recognition of independence or of belliger- euey Leing thus iu my judgement equally ldadmisible, it remains to consider what course shall be adopted. Should the con- flict not soon be brought to an end by acts of the parties themselves, and shoald the evils which result therefrom, affecting ail nations, aud particularly the United States, contiuuc, in such event, I am of pinion that other nations will be com- Pelled to assume the reeponsibility which devolves upou them and to seriously con- a the only remaining measures possi- *, Mediation and intervention.” After Hen tt statement, he says, ‘at the same ee While thus impressed, I do not at "3 ume iecommend the adoption 2 any measure of intervention.” He ae “persuaded however, that a proper gard for the interests of the United from nnd its citizena entitle it to relief e strain to which it has been subs a by the difficulties of the questions ee @ wrongs and losses which arise from * Conteat in Caba, and that the interest nowers continued - fomanity itself demand the cessation. Ol the sirife before tho whole Islaud eball. be ail waste aud larger sacrifices of life made, I shall fecl it my duty, shoald woes of a satisfactory adjustment th of the early restoration of peace and * removal of future cauace of complaint uubappity disappointed, to make oe | day praetica further communication to Congress at some period not far remote and daring the present session, recommending what may then seem to me to be necessary.” Allading to smuggling through the free gone and cattle raids on the Rio Grande, the President says, ‘an experié mentofan armed vessel on the Rio Grande for that purpose ig on trial, and it is hoped that if not thwarted by the shallowness of the river and other natur~ al obstacles, it may materially contribute to the protection of the herdsmen ot Tex- as oe Occan telegraphs are discussed at great length, bat no allusion is made to the postal telegraph. Discussing specie resumption, the Pres- dent says: ‘Too much streas cannot be laid upon this question, and I hope Con- gress may be induced at the earliest ble to insure consammation of the act of the last Congress at its last session, to bring about specie resumption on and after the first day of Junuary, 1879, at farthest. It would be a great blessing if this could be consummiated at even an earlier day. Nothing seems to me more certain than that afull, healthy and permanent reaction cannot take place in favor of the industries and financial welfare of the country antil we retern to a measare of values recognized through- out the civilized world. While we use a currency not equivalent to this standard, the world’s recognized standard of spe- cie becomes a commodity like products of the soil, the surplus seeking a market wherever there is a demand for it. Un- der our present system, we should want nove nor would we have any were it not that customs dues are paid in coin, and be- cause of pledges to pay the interest on the public debt in coin. The yield of the precious metals would flow out for the purchase of foreign productions and Icave the United States hewers of wood and drawers of water, because of wiser legislation on the subject of finance by the na‘ions with whom we have dealings. I am not prepared io say that I can suggest the best legislation to secure the end I most heartly recommend. I. will be a source of great satisfaciiun to me to be able to approve any measure of Congress looking effectually towara securing the resumption. Unlimited inflation woulc probably bring about specic paymeute more speedily chan any legislaiion Jook- ing to redemption of legal tenders in coia, but it would be at the expense of honor. ‘The legal tenders would have no value beyond set.ling the present liabili- ties, or properly speaking, repadiaing them. They would bring nothing after all other debts were settled. These are a few measures which seem to ine impor- tant in this conncetion, and which I com- mend to your earnest consideration, A repeal of so much of the legal vender act as makcs these nuves receivable fr the debts contracted after a certain date to be fixed in the act itself ; aay not later than the first of January 1876. A hearvy reaciion would set iu at once and with it, a desire to make the eurrency eqnal to what it purports to be. Tho President elaborates the good effecis which would follow this sugges~ tion. Second, that the Secsetary of Treasury be authorized to redeem, sav, not to exceed two million dollars mouthly of legal tender notes by issuing in their stead a long bond bearing three siaty five hundredths per ceut of denominations rai.ging from fifty to a thoasand dellars each ; third, that additional power be given to the Seeretary of the Tieasury to accommodate gold for final redeinption either by increasing revenue or dec.eas- ing expenses on voth. It is prefezable to do both. The iestoration of the duty on tea and coffee is suggested ; also the reduction on certain articles such as hardly pay for the cost and collection and such as enter into manufactures. He suggests some better means should be found for verify- ing claims against Government than through court claims, especially those growing out of the late war. They are in nearly every instance exorbitant. Dis- cussing report of the Secre.ary of War, he invites special attention to making thiee hundred thuneand of subsistence appropriation available before beginning of the nest fiscal year. The repeal of the law abolishing mileage and retarn tu the old system of appropriation for torpedo trials hy corps of Engineers, permauent crganization for signal corps. oo be condition of our navy at this time he says is a source of satiafaction. Re- viewing the details of defects as compared with other nations, he says, “but neither our continental situation or our foreign policy require that we should have a large number of these powerful cruising icon clads while our situation and the catere of our porta combine to make those of other nations little dangerous to us under any cireamatances. We have fitty war ships including fiteen iron clads now in hand on the Atlantic Coast.” Tho postal service is entirely satisfac- tory. ‘I'he President suggests the power for the exclusion of meichandise from the mails. The method of treating Indians, adopt- ed at the beginning of my first term, bas been steadily pursued with satisfactory and encouraging results. It has been productive of evident improvement in the condition of that race, and will be con tinued with such modifications as exper- ience may indicate to be necessaiy. He speaks cheerfully and liberally regarding ie Centennial. . ; He says of the bureau of agrical.we, it has accomplished much in disseminaiing useful kuowledge to the agriculiaralist, and also intradoeing new and gre ductions adapted to our elimate, and 18 worthy of the continued encoargement of the Government, ; He characterizes the eondition of affairs As an institution Utah as seandalous. piveans should be banished from the and patriotic citizens of the United States. land. ‘“‘As this will be the last messago I. shall have the honor of submitting 10 Congress before my suceessor is chosen, I will repeat or recapisulate the questions which I deem of vital im ce and which may be legislated upon and settled at this session: First, that the States ty of a good common school education to every child within their limits. Second, no sectarian tenets shall ever be taught | in any school supported in whole or in part by the State or Nation or proceeds of any tax levied upon any commnnity ; make edacation compulsory so far as to deprive all persons who cannot read and write from becoming voters af.er the year 1890, disfranchising none, however, on grounds of illiteracy who may be voters at the time this amendment takes effect : Third, Declare church and State forever separate and distinct, but éach free within their proper spheres, and that all church property shall bear its owu proprotion of taxation: Fourth, drive out licensed im- morality such as polygamy and the im~ portation of women for illigitimate pnr- pores: I recur again to the Centennial year. t would seem as though now, as we are about to begin the second century of our national existence, would bea most fitting time for those reforms. Fifth, enact such laws as will secure a specdy return to a sound currency such as will command the respect of the world. Believing that these views will command themselves to the great majority of the right thinking I submit the rest to Congress. (Signed.) U.S. Grant. oO The Moqui Indians. A portion of the Hayden exploring ex- pedition penetrated that part of Arizona occupied by the “Moqui Indians,” a tribe differing so widely in their habits and customs from the ordinary tribes of North American Indians, as to lead to the sup-~ position tiat they spring from a distinct race. ‘They are gentle, peace-loving, and unlike the wilder tribes, do not follow the chase, butina rude way cultivate the soil, from which they gain d scanty sups ply of corn and some of the commoner vegetables. Cattle, sheep and goats, which they raised in considerable numbers, find peren- shall be requized to afford the opportuni- } ' Tue Orpaan AsyLuM—Report oF THE SUPERINTENDENT MIELs.—The re- port of this gentleman, submitted last evening to the masonic gtand lodge, in regard to the present statusiof the orphan déylums at Oxford and Mare Hill, is very fateresting, and reflects efédit upon the seal and energy displayed by that gen- tleman in his labors in so gaud a cause. Regret is felt in not being able to give the report in full, Contributions to the Oxford asylum from Dee 1, 1874, to Nov. 30, 1875, amoynted to $13,095.98. Dis- bursements for same period, $12,540.37, leaving on hand a balance of $551.61. These figures include the feceipts and disbarsements for Mars Hill until Sept. 1, when the books of that institution were opened. The number of orphans reported admitted since that report 50, making 182; discharged 57, died 2, ranaway 3) expelled 3, leaving 105 inmates at pre- sent. The total contribution in cash from September 1, to November 30, for Mars Hill asylum were $353.21. One mule was sold for $100 and $110 received from the Oxford asylum, making the total re- ceipt $553,34. The disbursements during this time amount to $548,20, leaving on hand $5,13. The contributions in kind have not been so liberal as might have been expected in a country blessed with abundant crops, but some few individuals have made frequent and liberal donations. Repairs on the main building and the erection of other buildings, the purchase of furniture, &c., have caused the expen- ses to be rather heavy, but these improve- ments are of a permanent charaeter. ‘I'he number of orphans admitted to this asy- lum has been 35, expelled 1, runaway 2, discharged 3, leaving now present 29 of them. 10 were transferred from Oxford, some to assist in ehtertainments and oth- ers for their health. ‘The continuance of this institution is recommended by the euperintendant for various reasons, and the people of the west are urgently ap- pealed to to give a more hearty support to it.— Raleigh Sentinel.

The women, as in other tribes, do not bear the burdens while the men lounge in idleness, and indulge in the vices incident to barbaric life, bat are busied with do- mestic duties. ‘They wear, in a primitive sort of way, such blankets as cannot be woven on the best looma that the invent- ive talent of Europe or America can pro- duce, and which are equalled only by those made by the Navajoes, a neighbor ing tribe, whose tastes and manners of life closely corresspond with their own. Pos- sessing a country isolated by great stretch~ es of arid desert, and almost impenetrable mountain ranges and spurs, the warlike Comanches, Apacher, and Arapahoes, whose hand is against every man, have not molested them, and they have, since their history has been known among us, purened their innocent avocations undis- tarbed by the turmoil of contending tribes, or the aggressive innovations of the reet- less immigrants whose search for “Arca~ dia” is too often marked by treachery and injustice.

A letter from Raleigh to the N. Y. Herald contains the following interesting statements : “In the department of edacation, which stands third in the classification announced by the director-general of the ‘international exhibiticn, North Carolina ‘ean make a most praiseworthy showing. Despite the large per centage of illiteracy, the grade of her institutions of learning has been, and ia now, uniformly high. In the matter of female education espe- cially, she occupies a very high rank, At Greensboro, at Salem, at Charlotte, at Mu:zfreesboro, and here in Raleigh, are great schools for girls, whose curriculum of studies is fully equal to the average college for hoya. Ihave juet seen a letter from Richard J. Gatling, a native of North Carolina, and full of loyal love for the State of his birth, stating that he will put on exbibi- tion four specimens of bis famous Gatling gun, representing the different sizes now wanofactured under his direction. The primitive log house where he was born still stands near Marfreesboro, in Hert-~ ford county. His brother, who occupies the old Gatling bhomeetcad, will carry to Philadelphia the original models of some of the juvenile inventions which betoken ed the budding genius of the great armorer of the nation. Among the youthful devices of the modern Vulcan is a miniature screw propeller for steam- sips, identical with that subsequently patented by Ericson. It was inade thirty-six years ago,and is now rasty with age. ‘There are also curiously wrought walkiug-sticks, whose ingenious carving, though somewhat fantastic and bizarre,rivals in elaborate delicacy of fin~ ish, the deftest handiwork of Canova.

We now desire to say a few words to our Southern Granges, bearing on the same subject. We have had Immigration Conventions and Immigration Societies enough, bat little has been doné by them beyond the passing of sundry excellent “resolutions.” We bave no farther need of such conven- tions and societies. Our State, County, and Subordinate Granges, can do all that any organization can do, much more easi- ly and effectually. What those who are looking longingly toward the Sonth, as a home and a field for the exercise of their talents and ins dustry, most want, ia trastworthy infor~ mation in regard to our soil, climate, crops, railways, rivers, means of trans- portation, markets, schools, churches, and so forth; and especially of the dis< position and feeling of our people, toward settlers. Such information our Grangers cau give; and, coming from them, bound by sacred obligations and fraternal ties, it would be authoritative, with all mem- bers of the Order at least, everywhere. If our State Granges find it inexpedi- ent to take active measures in this matter, let the initiative be taken by Pomona Granges, County Councils, and other associations of Gringes, or by single Gran- ges, where co-»peration is impracticable. Appoint a committce to set forth fairly aud truly, in the form of a circular, the advantages of your county, parish or neighborhood, and the inducements you can offer to settlers; print it and cirulate the North. We have cases in mind, in which a small pamphlet descriptive of attractive localities bas been published in Subordinate Ganges, and widely circu~ lated with large practical results. Such work must tell. It is the one thing that is needed. One word more. Offer liberal induce- ments to settlers. Deal generously with them when they come among you. Do not ask two prices for your land, just as goon as you find somebody willing to buy. It will even to give actual settlers small tracts, for the sake of the enhanced value their improvements would give to the adjoining property. Now is the time to take hold of this work. With enterprise, energy and perseverance, it will succeed: D. H. JACQUS, —_- ao Dog Raising vs. Sheep Raising. State of Georgia is an institution which the State may well be proud of, and Com~ missioner ‘Thomas P. Janes is evidently the right man in the right place. When such a bureau, with a competent head, shall form a part of the administration of every State,a new era will dawn upon our agriculture. Commissioner Janes has been investi- gating Sheep Husbandry, as it exists in before the people in his terse, direct, and lucid style some rather astonishing facts. He finds, for instance, that the average profit on capital “invested in sheep iv Georgia, is sixty-three per cent.; that the cost of keeping sheep is ouly fifty-four cents per head; that while unwashep wool nets, on an average 274 ceuts per pound, an average of seventy~four lambs are rais- average price of lambs sold to the butcher, in Georgia, is $1.82; and that the average price of stock shéep is $2.53 per head; and of muttons $2.75. Other figures are given showing the profitableness of sheep raising. Georgia in 1860, 512,518 sheep, and iu sheep in the State, or a decrease, in fifte:n should have been 10C per cent. increase. “Startling facts,” truly.

WeLtt Done, SHERIFF.—Since the elose of the war, Wake county has not had a sheriff that came to time with the taxes, and has been skinned right and left. But be it remembered all the down- right atealing came from the republican party. Now our regularly nominated and elected Democratic sheriff has placed the county on the roll of bonor again. Yesterday, Sheriff Dunn called on the state treasurer and planked down $30,860,76. Give us an honest and reli- able officer like Dunn, and the people won’t mind paying even high taxes when they feel assured they will be applied in the manner the law directs. Well done, Dunn, you have redeemed the county.— Sentinel. WORTH KNOWING. Dr. Glass, living near Granby, who is clearing up a new farm, has been :roubled with a large number of big oak stumps. He had heard that salt petre was good for stumps, Accordingly, about a couple of months ago he sprinkled on the top of each stump about a tablespoonfal of pulverized saltpetre. A few days ago he set fire to the stumps, and says they commeuced and continued to barn until every stump was totally consumed, roots and all, so that he was able to plow with- out the least difficulty over the very ground formerly occupied by the same etumps. He says some of the stumps burned four or five days. The negro will be again a disturbing uestion between the eections, in that the South will gain political influence by reason of bis representation in Congress and the North will Joo-e. Then ag like causes produce like effects, sectional in- terest will make the North and South change positions once more.

It may also provide a proper system of appeals. These proposed changes 2re Jndiciour, and are particujarly needed at this time. But the 49 protesting Republican delegates, and the Republican Press generally, denounce the same, as being liable, in their judgment, to serious objections. the chief of which are as follows: (a). They willcanse “the obliteration of the lines which mark the Jurisdiction of the various Courts under our present Constitution. A disruption of these lines will necessitate an- other long and tedious period of litigation to determine the Jurisdiction of the various Courta, which may be established by the Legisla- ture. There should be but few classes of Coarts, of definite jurisdiction, in order that the peo- ple may learn to know their powers, and de- termine for themselves the tribunal in which they must assert their rights. To give the Leg- islature power to establish Courts at will is on- ly to make confusion more confounded—to in- augurate a chaos, which will bring prosperity only to the lawyer, and only to him at a need- less expense to the people.” Ans.—The Legislature had even greater power under our old Constitution than that which is proposed to be conferred upon it by these amendments; and none of the evils above named ever grew out of its exercise of such power. On the contrary our former system of Courts was a very good one, and worked well. It was a much cheaper system than the present, and was far better understood both by the law- yers and by the people. There is no good reason to suppose, that the Legislature will recklessly, and in defiance of the wishes of the people, create a multitude of new Courts not needed by the people. The Legislature will be better able to define the Jurisdiction of the several Courts then a Convention. Being immediately elected by and directly responsible to the peo- ple, it will be sufficiently intelligent to form an an impartial judgment concerning the real ne- cessities and wishes of the people. It will be impossible for the Legislature to create greater drawn.

JIT. THE AMENDMENTS PROPOSED TO AKTICLE LY—JUDICIAL DEP A BT- MENT— are quite numerous and jmportant. This Arti- cle of the Constitution contains 35 sections, of which changes are proposed in no less than 13; and to be added. J—Section + is aincnded by striking out the words “Special Courts,” ! ana inserting in lieu It is sold only by subserip- ia be- And yet this case is besides, there are four new sections laws. And as far as the lawyers are concern- ed, their best friends are in the Radical, not in the Conservative ranks, as the Legislation of the past seven vears abundantly proves. (b). The Legislature will itself elect the Judges and clerks of all such Courts as may be established by law, and will elect them for the full term of the eight years. Ans, Until the Legislature shall create other Courts, define their powers and Jurisdic- tion, and prescribe in what manner and for what terms the presiding officers and clerks of said Courts shall be elected, it is impossible to speculate with much certainty about the matter. It is not probable, that the Legislature will abuse this great trust, placed in its hands by the people themselves for their own benefit and protection. The Legislatute possessed still greater authority under the old Constitution ; and even under the present, it has greater pow- er, in regard to thecreation of “Special Courts” — for the Judges and clerks of such Courts may now be elected by the Legislature for life, and these “Special Courts’ may be multiplied to an indefinite extent. But if the amendments shall obtain the sanction of the people, this power of the Legislature to establish “Special Courts” will cease. (e)—“The Legislature will have the power to establish one system of Courts in Currituck and another in Cherokee—one system of admin- istering justice in one county, and another in another—the only effect of which would be to confuse, hinder, delay and defraud the people, and to enrich the lawyers, who are suffering froin leanness of purse under the present simple and easily understood system.” thereof: ‘Sach other Courts inferior to the} Answer.

The Courts of Probate, as at the present constituted, will continue until the Legislature ghall otherwise provide.

Ladies: Eighty years ago, when the State University was founded and when all the friende of educacion in the state were looking with fond and glad anticipation upon the new enterprise, a few of the ladies of that day, most eonspicuous for social position, refinement, and culture, came forward voluntarily and gracefully and presented the infant Institution with a pair of globes and a quadrant as an expression of their sympathy and cordial good wishes for its suecéss. ~ It was done by them without solicitation, and was well aud kindly done, aud their names are preserved to-day with affectionate respect and gratitude at Chapel Hill. Will the Ladies of North Carolina in 1875 do as mueh for the College which has educated go many of their Grand- fathers, Fathers, Lovers, Brothers, Hus- bands and sons, for more than two generations ; which in educating and elevating the men, has also equally, though indirectly, elevated and benefiited the women of the state, and which, after a period of cruel misuse and neglect, ia again revived to renew its good work for the land we love?) Have the Ladies of 1875 as much patriotism, as much intel- ligence, a~ much liberality, as much public epirit as the ladies of 17957 We believe they haye more. Will they now step forward with grace and dignity all their own, and lend their aid and counte- nance to the gentlemen of the state in their attempt to refit and refurnish their University eo as to put the advantages it offers our young men on an oqual footing with those of any of the first class col- leges in the Union? ‘This appeal is made to you, Ladies, in the confident hope that you will. ‘he Uniyersity scientific apparatus is iu ruins. ‘Ibe gentlemen of the Faculty are managing out of the wreck to make shift fur the present, but every week in its course brings them nearer the time when a new ouitit for all the Departments: of Natural Science will te imperatively and unavoidably neceagary. What arrangements the Executive Committee of the Board of ‘Trustees may be able to make to mect this call, is un- certain. ‘They talk of employing an agent to canvass the state. Meanwhile the way is clear for the Ladies of the state, by personal effort in soliciting sub- scriptions, and by giving liberally them- selves, to scewe to themselves the honor of supplying this pressing need, and present the college with au apparatus second to none in the country. Our boys need it, and they must have it, The ladies can do this if they will. There is no doubt of that. ‘Their influ- ence and their example have worked miracles before now, and can do it agaiu. If tbe matrous will sanctiou, and if the young ladies will take it up, organize systematically in every city and town, select committees, and give their time seriously fora few weeks to the work of raising money, they can easily make the University a Christmas present of ten thousand dollars. We suggest that the ladies of each town should select some instrament or apparatus to present; their names to be engraved on it for their great grandchil- dren to see. For instance the ladies of Wilmington might chooge to give a fiue Telescope; the ladies of Fayetteville, say, # Holtz Electric Machine; the ladies of Newbern, a pair of $200 Globes ; the ladies of Raleigh, an Atwood’s Machine ; the ladics of ‘Tarboro, Ruhmkoffs Coil ; the ladies of Windsor, a Galvanic Bat- tery; the ladies of ‘Vashington, a set of Wall Maps ; the ladies of Greevsboro, a set of Instruments for illustrating sound, light, electricity, &c. ; the Irdics of Ashe- ville, a Magic Lantern for scientific illus- tration; the ladies of Charlotte might undertake to furnish the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Prof. Kimberly's ; and the ladies of Salisbury, that of Ele- mentary Chemistry, Geology and Miner- alogy (Prof. Redd'e). ‘The articles, cost, each, from fifty dollars to two hundred or four hundred dollara. The chemicals and small pieces needed in the Laborato- ries, too numerous to mention, would cost from $150 to $500 Each of the Departments of Natural Sceince needs from $2,500 to $3,000 expended on it. This is the work we set before our la- dics. It appeals to the best feelings and beet principles of our common nature, and calls into exercise every generous and tender emotion. Done, and well done, promptly aud nobly, it will make the heart of every honest man ard boy in North Carcliua throb higher with pride in our women, and resolve to be wothy of them. No act of generosity or tenderness by weman for man ever went unappreciated or uurewarucd ; and whatever refines and exalts and adorns man, muet also inevi- tably veeure her culture. Neither ia it a work only for ourselves, but it is to be a permanent benefit to our posterity in many ways, and tor generations to come. Nor do we urge it merely as a good investment. Is it not an offering prompted by gratitude and peculiarly graceful and beautiful to those who were so lately in arms, and eounted not their lives dear in defeuce of their country? ‘The women of the South owe much to the men of the South, and no wemen have ever been able tu boast of truer or more gallant defenders than the men of North Carolina. They repair ‘annually iu crowds to lay fresh wreaths on the graves where the young heroes sleep. Will they not consider this work alco a pious duty and make this offering to tne youth {who remain, and who are now, at’ great ened i NIYERS OF N, ce waste of war, and vadegxar to P .c : gb will be found &° letter ffom the) State abreast with the ¢altaré of ae tions may be addresged té> Mis.

C., to visit and preach for them at an early day, with a view of securing his services as_ their pastor. Dr. Dosch’s reputation as a learned and eloquent divine, precedes him, and we trust that he may beinduced to accept the pastorate of St. John’s. SHILOH GraNneE.—At a meeting of this body on the 11th, after the ordinary routine of business, they heard interesting public addresses from Rev. J. C. Denny, Capt. Craw- ford, James F. E. Brown, and others, The Grange then elected the following board of officers for the next year, viz: J. W. Fisher, master; D. Kluttz, overseer ; T. H. Webb, lecturer; W. 8.

Kluttz, Flora ; Miss 8. A. Hartman, A. Steward. The ceremonies of thé oceasion closed with a feast, and a pleasant social chit chat. Important to Grrangers : On the 12th day of Oct., 1874, the Execu tive Committee of Kentucky State Grange adopted the Remington Sewing Machine for ‘the various Subordimate Granges in Ken- tucky, as well worthy of their consideration and purchase.” Since that time, large num- bers of machines have been sold to members of the O:der throughout the State, and the number is rapidly increasing. Every ma, chine is fully warranted for tive years, and by a responsible company.

Epirors: Having a little business In Con- ‘| cord last week, I made a fying trip to that enterpri- sing town and found it vo be as usual, doing a flourishing trade. The merchants are principally young and energetic men who know precisely how to do a successful business. I found Court ta session and was much gare with the promptness and decision with which his Honor, Judge Schenk, dis- patched business, and congratujate the je of that Judicial district on having a man 80 well wor- thy of the high position to deal out justice to them ; but would advise transgressors of the law to keep as far out of his way as possible. I also found the bar well represented by such men as Ex-Gov. Vance, Lieut. Gov. Armiield, Gen. Barringer, as well as our talented townsman, James M. McCorkle, Esq., be- sides a number of otuers whose names I do not remember.

C., Dec. 15th, 1875. “s “ “ “as “ “a “ ‘a “a —_—_ + Messee. Editors : Sirs.—I hope you will give me spaceain your valuable aad unsurpassed coluwns to say something of the “ups and downs” of my first courtship. You see there was a widow woinan «ho lived close tovur house aud she had some very good looking girls, but there was one little angel lived there named Maggie, aud that was the prettiest one of all, so folk said, and I thought they told the truth when they said it. This little girl was not adaughter of the old woman, but just lived there. Well I had seen her See ee her form : ;pidied: Lore! BrAsdddh ther {ly one big mouthed gal laughed and squalled sparkled with more brilliancy and the loving smiles which rested on her sweet lips made her look more like the essence uf or sweetened with the tinctare of bloshes than avything elee. I tried to say something. but my tongue clove to-the roof of my motith. I just bowed and left, bat when I gat home I was worse offthan ever. I couldn't get her out‘of my mind to save me. I couldn't sleep nor eat anything much for some time. so I made up my mind to tell her something about my feelings. Soon Saturday eyening I put on my best clothes and went to the old woman’s house; when I got there Miss Maggie was gone to set up by a sick man, about two miles off. I started and went to the sick fellows house too, and got there after dark. When I went in Thad my moath fixed just right to speak to Miss Maggie. “Good evening Miss Maggie,” said I, at the same time takirg her by the hand as I thought, ‘I isn’t Maggie.” said the gal, ‘she’s in tother room,” and when I come to look what do you think—why bless God, I bad the ‘yaller gal’ what cooked, by the hand, squeezing it like all wrath. -I tried to make some apologies; tuld them the light blinded me 80 I couldo’t see, and all that. bat it didu’t do any good at all. They all began to lauzh and kept on laughing. Final- 80 loud she scared the old man into a fit. The old woman .who was lying in bed in the same room) jumped up and in her fright ran against the eradel rocker, knvcked some of the nails off of her toes. and at the same time turned the cradle top side down spilling two littlejbrats on the floor. Thisshock was so unexpected it seared the little chaps al- most to death and they set up a yelling loud enough to be heard a mile: J tell yoo that was the worst time I've ever seeninu my life. The gals and boys laughing because I shook the nigger’s hand—the babies rolling in the floor—the old woman keeled over with the blood running out of her feet-—and the old man frothing at the mouth with a fit. How- ever, that all blowed over afierawhile. The old man got over his fit. the old woman got her toes tied up, and some of the gals got the two brats to sleep again. All was quiet now only them confounded gals and boys would keep gigling in spite ofeverything. During the time allthis row was going on Miss Maggie caine in, but I didn’t say anything to her then of course. But after a while the chickens begun to crow, then my heart be- guu to flutter about like a churn dasher, be- cause I intended to go home with that gal sure, sv befure day she got ready to go, and I asked her if I might see her home. She smniled and said yes sir. Now you see the rest of the old wotnau's gals was ahead with some fellows and I and Misg Maggie walked a good ways behind. I tricd iny best to say some sort of eourtin words to her, but some- [> ee ee app lxiy och ok he : since 1860. PT hey insist that it Me nanan ocratic y ast arty destined to.

This: view was enlarged upon in couversation to-day by a distinguished man- from one of the Gulf States. He said that in the Demo- cratic platform of the past and in the utterances of the great. Democratic Jead- ers of former days would be found the rinciples which fully meet the presen‘ mands of the people. ‘Thus the theory of civil service reform was enunciated hy Calhoun and Benton in: their speeches pointing out the evils of concentrating power and patronage in the hands of the Executive, and the true principles of cur- rency were expounded by a Ipng line of Democratic statesmen. In fact, there was scarcely a public question of the day, he said, for which the correct. solution could not be found iu the principles of the old-time Democracy, The luminaries of the past had only to be looked to for light to guide the party on its future eareer. In answer to a question as to the attitude of the Southern delegation toward the na- tional debt, he was very positive in bis assurance that all the Democratic meim- bers from the South. were - determined that nothing should be done tending in the remotest way to impair the financial honor and credit of the nation. ‘They desired to go upon record early in the session, ona plain declaration to that effect which wceuld quiet any apprehen~ sion that might be felt by the people of the North or by the public creditors abroad. He hoped to see an unequivocal resolution adonted by the unanimous vote of the Democratic members of Congress that would put it out of the power of the Republicans to charge the Democrat- ic party with favoring any measnre look ing directly or indirectly to repudiation. —~-< > Some of our Radical contemporaries say there are several “Confederate Brig- adiers’”’ in Congress. Well, tell how many union Brigadiers there are in the Whiskey Ring, signficantly asks the Louisville Ledger. A POT ROE LESTER DIEU LT 2 Remember This.

Bless her little soul she was scared a heap worse than I was. She blushed, said she didn't know sir, and at the same time sprung ahead like she was going to run. Just as she made her spring. she stumpt her toe and cowollop she went right on the ground and snatched me on my knee in spite ‘uf all I coulddo. Then she begun to holler oh! Lordy, my foots broke! Pull it! Pull it! I grabbed it in an instant, fetched a sudden jerk and as she was not heavy enough to hold her position on the ground she sliped to me so suddenly that I couldn't stand up, so I went corouse right over backwards on my head into the causeway ditch which wes abvut half full of muddy water. My head stack in the nud clean duwn to my shoulders, while my feet was up in the air doing all they could to get ny head loose. After awhile however I got out wiped the muddy water out of my face and eyes and looked around for Miss Maggie, but she had gone and left me. I stopt and studied for a mo- ment, wiped the nud out of my eyes, blowed my nose atime or two and started back to daddy’s bouse fully determined never to court another ‘skeery gal,’ aud from thaf day to this I never have. Ifyou know of any good old widows that would like tu marry, please let ine know, and I'll try my fist again. They aint ‘“‘skeery” like young gals.

OUR VILLAGE VISITOR. She landed at the one hotel of our quiet village, on a Saturday morning. We noticed her, particularly because she was alone, because she was a stranger, and because she was very pretty. She appeared to be a young Jady of two or three-and-twenty, slightly above the medium height, of perfect form—that is, if you can admit that perfect health and vigor may go with pericc: form, with large, piercing black eyes, and a wealth of tresses floating over her shoulders, She was habited in 2 neat and convenient trav- eling dress, and as she stepped from the stage-corch to the piazza her movements were supple, though a lit- tle cramped by her long ride, A large, canvas-covercd trunk followed her into the hal!, and after she had been shown into the parlor, the regis- ter, with pen and ink, was brought for her siznature. She nodded pleas- antly—nodded with a sinile that coma pletely captivated the impressible clerk—and t! a very pretty, satisfies, Is vet then, in Italian hand, wrote her name—“MIss Ciara Dunots, Philadelphia, Pa.” Later, as the landldrd_ politely es- corted her to the supper-rooms, she inforined hina that she had heard of his house—that it was quiet and well- kept, and that she had come for a short rest and respite from the din and turmeil of the zreat city. And then, with the ‘ost smile imaginable, she adda d: “As Lan alone, and a stranger, I oucht, perhaps, to say just a word of myself. My other is not living.— My father and [ have lately returned yooan tour, and I have retreat while he prepares cur house in Philadel phia.— ff be can leave his business he may, in the course of a few weeks, come up afier me. The good host was grateful for the Sve from an Liar : : souvint this quict information, and very glad the young lady bad honored his house with her presence. Ife would do what he could to make her stay comfortable aud nerceable. . Very soon Miss Dubois became ac- quainted with the guests of the house and proved herself as intelligent and (mertaining as she was pretty. She played well upon the piano-forte, but did not She played chess, too, though there was only one party in the house to play it with her. The days passed on, and Miss Dubois walked much inand about the village. She seemed interested in the place, and spoke favorably of all that she suw. Her usual walking-habit was a dress of black silk, and a jaunty Swiss hat, and very few men met her on the street who did not turn to take a second view. Boarding at the hotel was Mr. Aaron Huntley. He kept the princi- pal store in the village, and was also our postmaster. He was a man of five-and-forty, rotund and good-look- jing, Aud had beena widower ten years. He was a tender-hearted man, albeit a little self-sufficient and important ; iit he was impressible and gallant, and he could unbend to the softer sex. In fact, he quietly enjoyed what he couccived to be his power over the marriageable young ladies of the vil- Jace; and, a certain power he did cer- tainly possess, for in addition to his passably good looks, he was wealthy —that is, wealthy a3 compared with otier people jn the village. He had been a successful trader, and he had been carcful of his money, which he worshipped. And it was Mr, Hantley who play- ed chess with Miss Dubois. He was a vecy fair player, and she was skillful, Sometimes he came off winnee, though it is donbtfal if he realized that his occasional victory was through the kind sudeeance of his fair antagonist. Nat 30 the village store-keeper and ihe preity visitor became warm friends, and it came at length that almost every evening found them at the chess- WOVPA, Le it not be though that Mr. Hun- (ley was the only man who sought if? society of Miss Dubois. A score, at least, of the young men of the vil- lave were very attentive. She was kind and gracious to all, bat she ant. conversation of herself had convin secret, four-and-twenty hours, and then — Sea a merchant was her favorite.. With hint she went fo a picnic, and with him she went to church, where she was among the most devout of the wor- shippers. Yes, she was certainly fond of the company of Mr. Huntley, and it is not to be wondered at that he should become fond of her. She was pretty, she was witty, she was inte] ligent, an she had strong common sense; and, furthermore, she was young and buoy- What more could he ask in a wife? If he thought of dower, her him that her father was weal- thy. One evening Aaron Huntley came from the parlor, where he ha been playing chess, radiant. He had _pro- , and had been accepted. He managed to keep the sweet, bl he let it out to the landlord, and was congratulated. The store-keeper was happy. He walked as one who treads on air. He was smiling and gracious to bis customers and even gener- ous. “Of course,” whispered Clara, with her head resting upon Mr. Huntley’s shoulder, “we cannot be married until my father comes. I have -written to him, and told him all.” Yes—he knew she had written, for on that very day he had mailed the letter, address to “Col. CHARLES H. Dusors, Philadelphia, Pa.” “And,” pursued Clara, with emo- tion, “I know he will like you. He has bien a kind and indulgent papa to me.” “I hope he will like me, darling.” “Oh, [know jhe will. You will be content to wait till he comes?” “Yes, though it is happiness defer- red.” “Ah! Aaron, do you think you will always love me as now ?” «Always, dearest!” - And he press- ed her to his bosom in the exuberance of his affection. After this, Miss Dubois was much at the store, and, in her playful happy way, she assisted often in the post- office, which was a square room parti- tioned off, in one corner of the build- ’ 0 -_ ‘And so the days wenton,and Aaron Huntley was certainly the happiest man in the village. But one morning a thunder-clap fell upon him. He went to his store, and found the rear door ajar. He went to his safe and found that it had been opened, and the money taken—the savings of years ! In anticipation of his marriage, Mr. Huntley had thought of purchasing a house, and had deawn_ five thousand dollars from the bank in a neighbor- ing town for that purpose. Then he had {bree thousand dollars laid aside for the purchase of goods for the fall trade; and in addition to this there had been about two thousand dollars of government money in his keeping. It was just at the close of a posial quarter, and the post-master of several adjacent villages, having no safes of theic own, had entrusted their returns to hishands. So that full ten thousand dollars had been stolen from the safe. For a time Huntley was Jike one distracted, but he had sense enough to make his loss known at once to the deputy sheriff, and the officer, with a posse was soon on the search. It had been an adroit robbery, and in the outset the searchers had no_ possible clue. Both the lock of the door and the lock of the safe must have been picked by skillful hands, for neither of them was injured ia the least. Miss Dubois was early at the store, and when she heard. of her lover's loss she endeavored to console him. “Don’t worry, dearest,” she said. | “When my father comes I can. help you. If this Joss cripples you, it shall only be for a time.” “But, Clara, I would not have it appear that I married you for your—” “Naughty man, hush! Will you not let me love you a little ?” What could he say more? Eveving came, but not a trace of the burglar. The sheriff had hit two or three possible trai's, but they had led to no success. On the morrow he would set forth again, hoping that, meantime, he might receive a favora- ble answer to some of the numerous telegrams he had sent off. When the stage arrived that eve- ning an old gentleman, with white hair and beard, and wearing an enor- mous pair of green spectacles, was helped out, and, leaning heavily upon his stout oaken staff, hobbled into the hall. He signed his name upon the register, in a tremulous, straggling hand: “Dr. Sera Bumpvus, N. Y.” When the tea-bell sounded, he stood in the hall, and watched while the guests entered the supper-room. The Jandlord came to wait upon him in. “Landlord, who is that young lady who just went in with your store- keeper ?” “That is Miss Dubois.” “TI thought so. Egad, her father Dubois took Mr. Huntley’s arm, and retired to the’ parlor, afterwards the white-haired man named Dr, Bumpus, followed them. The first two ha upon a sofa, and the latter took a seat in a chair between them and the door, don’t remember me.” aud presently seated themselves and, at thesame time, a stout, dark- faced man,-in a free-and-easy svit of d|red flannel, had stopped upon the threshold, and was standing in the open door-way. Miss Dabois saw these two men— saw the positions they had taken—and her teeth came together with a snap, and her lips were compressed and pale. “Sir,” she said, addressing the white-haired man, “you stare at me as though you had met me before.” And as she spoke her right hand stole down by her side toward the pocket of her dress. “Sook, my dear, and see if, you With this the white wig was lifted off, the green spectacles and the white beard re- moved, revealing a. compact, sinewy, keen-eyed man, of about forty. On the next instant Miss Dubois had a pistol in her hand, and was cocking it; but the man in the chair, and the man at the door, bad both been watchful of her. upon her before she could do any wrists. wrists.

A sad picture indeed, yet there is one more painful still. One step from Gen. Babecck’s office, which has become the arcanum of our national disgrace, and we are in the private office of the president vf the United States. Torday the eyes of the whole natiun are turned to him in shame and reproach. There he eitas— stolid. sordid, sullen. It is possible to believe Gen, Henderson’s solemn assur- ance of faith in Grant’s entire innocence ? There is but one ground where it cau be presumed, and tLat is bis utter imbecility. Until that i proven, and until it is de- nied that from the very first day day of his inauguration, up to the present hour, Grant bas invariably associated with the most corrupt scoundrels and bas never it eould with Casey, with Tow Murphy, with Lest, with Corbin, with Boss Shepherd, with Babcock, Joyce and McDonald is explained ; until his appointment of near- ly all of these to high places of power aud profit can be justified—until he has res called Cramer from Copenhagen and Emma Mine Schenck from the court of St. James; uutil be removes Brother ia- law Jim. Casey from robbing the reve- nucin New Orleans, withdraws his broth- er Orville from the Indian ring, and ig nominiously kicks Babeock out of the White House—we shall not believe him free trom the knowledge of what his most intimate confideuts daily practiced before his eyes, and largely, if not entirely, by the use of his name and power. There are constitutional governments in which ministcis resign the very moment they lose the cofidence of the people. One linodredth part of the disgrace of this whiskey ring would instantly drive the! cabinet of any constitutional government from power. If Gen. Grant has a spark | of shame or honor left, let him show it by vacating the White House which he bas a0 long dishonored, Let him resign ? GRANT GTHE BISHOPS.

Y. World. —_+<- Rev. A. W. Mancum.—In sketching the various members of the recent Meth-~ odist conference in Wilmington, the Star of Dec. 8, has this to say of Rey. A. W. Mangum, so well known and beloved in this city : One of the most accomplished ‘members of the body which has just adjourned was Rey. Adolphus W.. Mangam, of illustrious. lineage, who as scholar, orator, poet and ld: word. dn ms rolina. ~~ Th Professor Mangum is about 40. He came to the conference in 1856, and wis made Professor of Englsh Literatare and Belles Letters last summer in the Univer: sity of North Carolina, Professor Man- gum had been previous to his election to the Professorial chair, a minister of the Methodist church in full connection. Handling a fluent and graceful pen, his contributions of prose and verse have enriched the newspaper press for many years. He has published one vol- ume of poetry, Myrtle Leaves,” and was for a time on the staff of a weekly reli- gious and literary paper, the Message, published at Greensboro. He graduated at Randolph Macon College. Professor Mangum is above the medium height, is lithe, graceful, erect, with his fine, shapely head covered with greyish dark hair and beard thrown back. His expression lights up strongly in speaking, and he talks with energy and fervor. | His style as orator may be inferred from this physical inventory. ae STEWART'S $10,000 CARPET. This carpet, which was made for Nax polecu III, is thus described :—Its size is about forty feet equare. The center piece—its most prominent object —oecu- pying neaily one half of the whole area, represents a beautiful, oval-shaped pict- ure, sct in gold fringe, aud if suitably : hang would at a distance be easiy mista- ken for an elegant painting. The pictnre shows the harbor, castle and surrounding heat, he was really busy in huniing for | subjects for his message. His visits to Colorado and Wyoming sagacions mind with the inequality ef our public land system. A frying trip to; Salt Lake and a hurried interview with Brother Bringham convinced him of tbe anomalous, scandalous condition of Utah and the unblushing prevalence there, of | the unnatural viec calied pluraliem. All; the tine in which he was eredited with taking his dolce fur neinte and listening tothe wild waves at Long Branch, he was actually adding to his previons stud- ies in political economy an acquaintance with the far more dry and intricate branch of theology. His admiration for Glad~- stone led him not only to read that high- flung stateman’s recent pamphicts and polemical disquisitions, but his earlier volumes also. Itis quite apparent that he gets some of hia horror about the con- dition of affairs in Caba from Gladstone’s report upon King Bomba’s Government in Naples; and Gladstone’s ‘Church and State,” pablished while he was still a studeat of Christ Church, has palpably inspired some of the President’s phrases about hierocratic matters. Gladstone probably to-day heartily wishes he had let clerical matters alone, and the third term will not be cut before Grant experiences the same disgust for the long robes. Even a third term would be dearly purchased by a politician at the cost of subscrviency to theological doctors —the hardest masters, the most thaukicas allies in the world. Politics and ecclesi-~ asties, taken together, compose a most unsatisfactory dose. A Frenchman re- cently attempted to mingle some theolog- ical elements with a paper of his discuss- ing public affairs, when he was told by a great publicist: “Stady your arithmetie, friend, aud let the long robes be; you do not understand them, neither gex.’”’ The remark wasa keen one. Church politics, as haa often been remarked, are exactly like female politics. ‘There ia the same exactingneas, the same tyranny. The Church will not have a part; it muat have all of you. It is execrably—-that is to say, femininely—jealous of its presump-~ tive righte, while it uses up all its vocab- ulary io defining. Its ally muet be ite servaut, ite lever, its ever watchful cava- lier, and the least neglectfulness is visited with swift anathema. Mr. Grant may think it very nice to glide into the third term upon an only tide of theotogical sophistry. It may seem to suit his pres- ent pursuit excellently well to have Dr. Newman aod Bishop Simpson at hia el-~ bows to eupply bim with hackneyed phrases about the fall of Adam, trans- gression, education, intelligence, dema- goges and priestcraft; but he likes to take bis ease in hisjinn far too well to submit agreeably to the yoke he is unconsciously bowing his neck to. Grant probably thinks of going into this ecumenical busi- neas as the Venetiavs went into the Pal- eatinian crusades, they get all the profits and the Weatern knights to take all the bard knocks. But the Chureh is not going to fight, aod especially ie not going to fight any battles but its own. For a great many centuries it has practiced the useful art of accomplishing its purposes by keeping all the rest of the world in lot water and setting everybody else by the ears, while it stood by to share with the victor. It is hardly possible at this late day that the Church will change its Juited States, he viola-! Grant go tor it. Grant knows very little | policy, older than Couatantine, by going for Grant, instead of trying to make county of Marseilles, France. In the foreground, one is charmed by the blue impressed hig; Water aod the stately ships at anchor ; further back, the harbur and ancient cass tle, rising grandly in ita wagnficent whiteness against the green foliage envel- oping the base of the mountains which form the background and lift their boary heads into a biue sky Haked with fleecy cleuds. Napoleon’s coat-of-arms sure mounts the the picture, and a Latin mot- to, wrought in gold on blue ribboo-hke ground, lies half unrolled at the base. Immediately surrounding this lovely picture, in a bed of 1ich brown, is a gare land of beantiful flowers, much larger than natural size, but 80 brilliant and so delicately and accurately represented that it seems as if one might stoop and lift the petals one from anotber. Outside of this garland, and serving as a_ border to the carpet, is a wreath formed of overlapping oak leaves and acorns, also in natural colors, their various shades of green and brown blending in exquisite beauty.” It is quite impossible to give an idea of this wonderful fabric, which was made with the needles of poor women who wrought it in sections and set together after the mauner of the camel's hair shawls. Its texture is as delicate as a silken rohe, and no painter could portray color or detail with more skill. It actual- ly cost $10,000 to muke it. Mr. Stewart saw it at the Paris Exposition aud pur- chased it as a novelty to exhibit to friends. —— , VIEWS ON HAVEN’S HARNGUE The New York Herald says: “Now, if Bishop Haven were a Catho- lic prelate this spc2ch would have been hailed throughout the country with furi- ous disapprobation. But the Bishop is a prelate of the Methodist Charch, of which President Grant is an ostentatious if not asincere member, His charch is one of the moat powerful in this country. Vig- orous in its discipline, untiring in ite energy, closely in sympathy with the magses of our people, carrying its faith to the frontiers and planting ite churches amid every” discouragement, Methodiam representa in the Protestant religion that missionary proselyting influence which hae giveu Catholicism its marvelous pow- er. Nor do we underrate the importance of a deelaration in favor of a third term by a Bishop of the Methodiat Episcopal Church. It shows that President Grant, when he made his extraordinarg speech at Des Moinos, knew the sentiment to which he appealed. But we look upon this declaration of the bishop as deplora ble from every pointof view. It isa reflection upon his religion and an inter- ference in our politica that we are sure will be resented by the Methodists them- selves. If be supposes that Methodists will, as a general thing, submit to be told by a clergyman even if he is a bishop, whose duty it is to win souls to Christ, that they must vote oue way or another, their sense of independence will rebel. The declaratiou of Bishop Haven in fa- vor of a third term will give new color to the intrigues which have been on foot fur some time in favor of a third term.” The New York Sun remarks: “Suppose a Roman Catholic Congress, incited thereto by Cardinal McCloskey, should pass resolutions advising the elec. tion to the Presidency of Tilden, or Thurman or anybody else, what a howl there would be throaghout the country. All good Protestants would despair of the doctrine yet and as for the doctors, he State unless they banded themselves to- gether to destroy the napist.

A New Invention —W. A. Weant, of Salisbury, has invented and patented a “selfeadjusting railway switch,” which | will be of incalculable advantage to rail- road companies, both iu point of economy and safety. With this attachment, a train running thirty miles an hour can be run on the side track at tne will of the engineer, and should the connection be with the switch, and the engineer wish to go ahead on the main track, he can with equal case shift the switch, ruuning at the same speed; in fact, it is impossible to | run a train off ata switch with this at- tachment. Some company or party of meaus should own the patent, 80 aa to patit into practical nsec. Mr. Weant, be- ing a hard-laboring mechanic of very small means, would negotiate with parties for an interest in the invention, 80 as to bring it properly before the public.

Sad and Fatal Accident.—Saturday morning Edward Archer, ason of Dr. Edward Archer, of Cheeterfield, met with an accident which resulted in his ingtant death. The young man wae out hunting at the time near Huguenot Springs. He laid his gun, which was halt cocked at the time, upon a log near by, and stooped over to drink trom a epring. In doing so his foot struck the gun, causing it to fall upon the ground and go off. ‘The eatire load struck’the unfor- tanate young man in the breast, killing him instantly.—Petersburg Index-Appeal. eee MamMortuH Peririon.—A special dis. patch to the Richmond Dispatch, among other information given says : Mr. Randall filed at the speaker's desk to-day a mammoth petition praying for the repeal of the bank stamp check act. The petition was enclosed in a handsome waluut box. It is seven hundred aud six feet, or about one eighth of a mile in length. It contains thirty thousand three hundred and nineteen names, represent~ ing thirty-three States and five territories. He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shal] not be rich.—Prov. paiil oxii pote “AGRICUBFUI REMOVING STUMPB—A friend asks us what can be done rid of stumps in fields—whether crude oil would not cause the stumps to burn readily? In our experience we have found it preferable to remove stumps with machines made for that pur and burn them afterwards, if desired. It is slow work burning isolated stumps in a field and the same amount of time spent in uprooting them will be much more effective. A good team, horses or oxen, with a stump machine, quite a space of ground ina the nd be stony, the by day, and i ‘rou work be ee gh-p came from with stones to within ei {teen inches or two feet of the surface. Crude oil is not very inflammable, and unless used in large quantities its only effect is to clear the surface of the stump and make it last even long- er than it otherwise would.—Rural New Yorker. —_——____ ~E>e— ChLover.—Mr. Burwell Cashion, near Alexandriana, believes in clover, and has raised some of the finest stock in this county. Mr. W. H. Matthews bought the cow from him which took the premium several times at the Fair of the Carolinas. He has another of the same breed, which gives six gal- lons of milk a day. He has kindly sent us some of the butter from this cow, and it is equal to any in the Northern market. Perhaps the low price of cotton will teach our farmers alesson. Dr. Mills thinks that we have the best clover land in the world. But the cottun insanity has kept our farmers from raising clover in large quantitics. We hope that every / Grange Lecturer will din into the ears of Grangers the necessity for varied crops.—South., Lome. — ee FARMING INTERESTS. Dors rr Pay To Cook Foop For Stock ?—We will state that our farm ‘ ; contains 800 acres, and we generally feed one huudred head of cattle on grass In summer, and we fatten each winter about forty head of cattle in the stable. We raise from forty to fifty acres of wheat, twenty to thirty of oats, twenty of corn, and three or four acres of Swedish turnips. Our engine is a five-horse boiler, something more, with engine attached to its side. And this threshes our grain, éuts and steams the fodder, pumps the water, saws the wood, and does the churning, and thus is very handy to nave on the farm. We have three steam-boxes, holding one hundred bushels each, and one of these filled with cut straw, two hun- dred pounds of bran worth seventy- five cents per hundred, evenly mixed, moistened with water, packed in solid and well steamed, will feed sixty head of cattle three times for one day, all they will eat. Fattening cattle are fed extra. In this way, we can feed all our straw and cornstalks and poor hay, if we have any, witha little grain and bran, turn it all into quick, active manure to stimulate new crops, and can keep more stock, and at one third less expense than at the old way. Our stock comes out in better condition in the Spring, and we have no doubt, from our own experience, that there is a saving to us of fully one-third in the cost of wintering our animals, In feeding hogs, we find that two bush- els of corn, ground and cooked, is a little better than four bushels of shell- ed corn. We have proved this by the best test we can give it. We have no hesitation in saying that our confi- dence in the economy of this mode of feeding strengthens with each year’s experience, and we believe that it is destined to be practiced much more extensively in the future.—Live Stock Journal. THE SOIL AND CROPS. In the preparation of the soil for crops, the first thing to be done is to remove all surplus water. Not to do this, would be about as unwise as for the carpenter to commence building the house at the ridgepole. The next, to plough deep, because the minerals in the subsoil may be needed in the upper portions. The thirc, to pulverize the soil un- tilitis in a condition so fine that the elements of fertility which it contains shall be intimately mingled with each other. The plough, harrow, and hoe, will not perfectly accomplished this ; the roller will accomplish much, and a more recent implement, called, “The Breaker and Levelier,” will do definitely more. In this condition, the soil will cling to the small roots, the rain water will come along with its ammonia to dissolve the sand, the potash, the lime, the magnesia, and other minerals present, and plants will grow with great vigor. But this is not all. Ifa drought occurs, the air will penetrate a porous soil, taking along with it, moisture, heat, ammonia, _| crop, ascertain what ite ; by washing or otherwise, sind- supply |. carbonic aid, &e., &c., and give life and activity to it, verw much as breath- refused ficid's Fifth? “Ifa field its deficiencies from some vather »patt | of the farm. In most, casessthis echauge would not require a costly removal. of result ; In { i + i than with us.—N. FE. -Farmer.’ From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. Rochefoucald, or some other cynical Frenchman, bas declared that every man takes comfort in the misfortanes even of his friends. This forthe honor of hu- man nature we capitally doubt. Bat if there be any semblance of truth in the remark, it may be traced simply to the fact that sorrow is the common lot of man, and the comparison tends to make the afflicted bear their troubles better when they prreeive that others, it matters not if they be kinsmen, suffer more. In oth- er words, misery loves company. If thie execrable philosophy, however, is accep- ted, then we of the South, poor and bard up as we are, may take abundant conso- lation from the euperfor misfortunes of our Northern brethren. To show the terrible condition of the manufacturing interest, a well known gen- tleman and fellow-citizen just arrived from New England, stated yesterday that he saw large sales of the best Arnold prints made by dealersin North Adams, Mass., on the 5th inst., at two and a half centa per yard. This waa not at auction but a regular business transaction. The moral is that paper must be met when it falls due to | preserve mercantile credit. Another opulent iron master, who runs seven furnaces in Massachusetts and one in New York, has not sold a pound of metal in three years. We haa acres of it stacked ap, waiting for better prices, and in the meantime borrows money to carry on operations. The reason of this is the excessive cost of production, at points se remote from the coal fields. Prouidence and other New England cities are now actually purchasing their iron from Alabama at $28 per ton, delivered on board tbe cars, which is lesa than it can be made for in New England. The doleful condition of things may be further illustrated by an incident relating to the woolen trade. A Mr. Blacketone, who dicd several years since in Massa- chusetts, worth an immense fortune, left a provision in his willthat bis mills should be worked on full time- for two years without stoppage. If the attempt to do this be persisted in, it is estimated that his legatees will have nothing left. to divide, so ruinous is the loss uf operating. We hear too, of further reductions in laborers’ wages, continued failures in every city, and wide-spread suffering throughout the North. The writer’ saw much that was discouraging last summer at Fall River aud elsewhere, but the troubles then were but trivial eompared with the present. This is the upas fruit which emancipas tion has at length produeed for our New England philanthropists. The South, stripped of her slaves by violence and compelled to enter the manufacturing arena for subsistence, is now beating those who formerly she enriched, at their own employment, and cre long, not only iron and domestics, but shoes, wooden ware, and everything else we need will be made at home, and far morecheaply. And our Northern friends bave only themselves to thank for it. With such a country and climate as ours, we have only to will to be independent, and go to work inthe right direction, and the result is certain to be achieved. —_———~ao— Grape Culture in Cleaveland County. Wo have interviewed Mr. T. P. Wells, of Shelby, on the subject of grape culture. Mr. Wells has fourteen acres in grapes, within three-quarters of a mile of Shelby, and hie success lias been quite remarka- ble. Laet year he produced from thie vineyard 7,000 gallous of wine—thia year bas produced 10,000 gallons. Jie has a capacious cellar on, the premises now containing 15,000 gallons, in casks as follows: 6 casks holding 1060 gallone each; 3 casks holding 800 gallons each; 2 caske holding 700 gallons each, and down to emaller sizes. Mr. Wells says he began the. grape culture in 1869. He bas what is called Heureuse Air ‘l'reatment for the purpose of purifying and making clear the wine, which is a perfect success.’ His vines ure trained on wire trellers. ‘i'hese wines average from one to two dollars per gal- lon, and he finds a ready demand. Mr. Wells eaye he plants the cuttings any time from Octoberto May. The cuttings will be furnished by bim at $3 50 per thousand; the roote at $2 per dozen. ‘This gentleman is of the opinion that the grape culture can be made profitable in most all the couaties of Western Carolina, the higher op the country the better.

Henperson, Esq., on the proposed amedjdments to the State Constitution. Wo other writer has taken up this subject and begtowéed on it the close, critical and Isbor- ed attention given by Mr. Henderson; and we think it improbable than any other will do as much as he is doing to present the question of ratification so clearly before the voter. The Conservative press of the State must have observed his fair, candid, and eomprehensive manner of dealing with the changes proposed, and are indebted to him, we think, for relieving them of a labor which but few of them could spare the time to perform.

The bond-buying agent has been here twice within the present year, anxious to get up the bonds, but not pre- pared to pay off over due coupons, —-- GR" It is a good time now for our patrons to renew their subscriptions, the paid term of many of them expirjng on or about the 1st Jaauary. A liberal response to this hint will give us a right cheery offsend into the new year, and may enable us to add some needed improvements to the Watchman. We are adding new names to the list every day, and hope soon to including in it the name of evéry reading man in the county, and in- duce many to read who have heretofore neg- lected it. It is to the interest of every citizen in the county to foster the newspaper which goes abroad in the land, representing their im- mediate section, because by it the locality will be judged. The newspaper is generally accepted as an index to the town and coun- try from which it issues, and all concerned should thercfore feel a lively interesting in making it in all respects worthy of those whom it reflects. ; If we are correct in this view of the case, and we think we are, it concerns the busi- ness men of Salisbury, especially, to make such a presentation through the columns of their paper of the business of the town as to arrest the attention of strangers at a dis- tance, and thus attract them to the place. Yery much may be done in this way to keep up and extend business, or the contrary, by im- proving or neglecting g means so generally recognized as 3 true indicator. So faras may depend on cost, we are prepared to pledge advertising rates low enough to justify general abogptance. ————7T1 oe ———_——_ The Asheville Citizen says; Capt. W. P.

Mr. McDouald was formerly of Anson county, where ho has two brothers now living. ‘he killing grew out of a difficulty with a land tenant, who.

The Fayetteville Gazette gives the particulars of the re-arrest, in that place, ofan escaped murderer, a negro boy named Hillman Morgan, for the murder of Jack Cradup, in Franklin county, aboat four years ago. The governor was notified that Morgan was living at Fay- etteville under the arsumed name of Al- bert Johnson, and senta man therg to arrest, him.

Under this heading the Scientific American informs the public of the loss of a woolen mill worth a bundred thou sand dollars, notwithstanding it was fairly bristling with lightning rods, having’ a rod running all around the eaves with vertical points every four feet. One would think ifthere was any virtue in rods this house was proof against light- ning; but not so. The defect consisted in the ground terminal of the rods, It has been proven that the ordinary method of runoing the rods down four or five feot into the ground is wholly insufficient. It amounts to no protection atall, in many Ships arc protected, says tbe American, by baving the rods run down forming connection with the copper shect- ing of the vessel, which being a larger surface than the deck, and in immediate contact with the water, ensures perfect safety; and no lightning rods to buildings will secure the same degrce of proteetion cases, conditions. ‘The rod must have for its terminal a very large surface of conducting material, placed underground in contact with the earth.” If the soil is always moist, a smaller extent of conducting surface tor the bottom of the rod will be safer than if the soil is generally dry. In dry soil this conducting surface should be equal in area to the roof of the builds Iron or copper plates are the best material for this conducting surface ; but in the absence of these good charcoal is recommended to fnrpish the required ex~ tent of conducting surface. Ing. THE HOLIDAYS. Another Christmas is at hand, brioging with it its accustomed ecenes of gladness andjoy. ‘he whole land, almost the whole world, is just pow wide awake, and either actively preparing pleasant greetings for those they love, or are joyously turning their footsteps toward those who expect them, aod with whom they bope to spend aseason of pleasure. How great the awakening! How eager the desire! How kind the wishes! How keen tbe relish, for favors done or doing—received or in expectancy. ‘The scason is wholly an- like any other occasion known, in its wide observance, and in its peculiar character. It is a world’s Jubilee, when, for the time, the cares and anxieties of ordinary days are forgotten amidst the overwhelm- ing prevalence of the spirit of freedom and gladness. From Washington Territory to the Gulf of St. Lawrence; from the re- motest North poiat of Canada to Cape Horn; throughout Europe, and in many of the isles of the seas and oceans, the glad voices of people, old and young, will usher inthe day with happy greet- ings;—the great mass because it is a holiday which they have been long ac- customed to celebrate with unusual grati- fications and indulgeucies; the lesser part, as the natal day of the Great Redeemer, whose advent was a0 gloriously celebrated by the Heavenly host when they pro- clalmed, “Glory to God in the highest, and ou earth peace, good will toward men.”’ It were more rational if all would recog~ nize the day in its true significance, uni- ting with the celestial choir in ascriptions of Glory to God; and by the exalting exer- ciae of faith, thanksgivings and praise, rise to the Ligh dignity of life in God through the glorious Daysman whose advent we record. Least of all should they who profess to honor bim desecrate the season by excesses more characteriatie of devils than of saints, hoping excuse from the censures of their fellow men because “Christmas comes but once a year.” We tender to our patrons aud friends a greeting full of kinduess,aud good-will. We thank them for many and long con- tinued favors, and shall spare no pains to prove our appreciation of them. Joy to them all, aud that peace which passeth understanding.

Tke Proposed Constitutional Amendments, . IV. © To THE EDITORS OF THE WATCHMAN: Another Objection, which is being urged with great zeal against vesting” in the Legislature the power to create other Courts inferior to the Supreme, is that inevitably this will bring about the restoration of the OLD COUNTY COURTS or of a similar system. I myselfdo not believe that the Legislature will do anything of the kind; and I am not myselfin favor of the re-es- tablishment of these courts. Ido not believe that there are five lawyers in the State who wish to return to that system—and I know, that a great many of the people, outside of the Republican party, are aJso opposed to the restoration of the County Courts. Of course, if the Radical presses and orators are to be believed, there are no supporters of such a scheme amongst the Republicans. With so many adverse in- fluences operating against them, I cannot con- ceive how it will ever be possible for the friends of the old County Courts to effect their restoration. Legislators always endeavor to be on the popular and winning side—and they will be pretty sure to find out what are the senti- ments of the people on this point, before they commit themselves toany particular scheme. If, however, in spite of the combined opposi- tion of lawyers, Radical leadere, and numbers of good Conservatives, a majority of the peo- ple shall express themselves in favor of going back to the County Court system again, and shall be so strong as to compel the General As- sembly to respect their wishes by legislating accordingly, who shall dare to question the right of the people to have their own way about this mattsr ? 4,——~Section 8, of Art. III is amended by striking out the word “four’ and inserting “two’’ in its place, so that the section will read thus : “The Supreme Court shall consist of a Chief Justice and two Associate Justices.” Instead of having five Supreme Court Judgea, this amendment proposes, that hereafter we shall have but three. This will effect a saving to the tax payers of $5,000 a vear—and_ three Judges will do the same work just as well as five. 5. Section 9 now reads as follows: “There shall be two terms of the Supreme Court held at the seat of Government of the State in each year, commencing on the first Monday in January, and first Monday in June, and continuing as long as the public interests may require.” And sec. 6, of Art. XLV, provides that “the seat of government in this State shall remain at the City of Raleigh.” The amendment abrogates section 9 and sub- stitutes the following: “The terms of the Supreme Court shall be held in the city of Raleigh, as now, until other- wise provided by the General Assembly.” The advocates of this amendment inthe Gon- vention urged its adoption upon the ground, that the State was about to enter upon a new career of progress—when population, wealth and all kinds of business would rapidly in- crease. Tf results shall verify this prediction, it will soon become necessary, that some provision should be made for hold'::g sessions of the Su- preme Court in different sections of the State— especially in toe West—whose people still re- member, that in former times that Court peri- odically held its sessions in the town of Mor- ganton, for their benefit and convenience. A similarsystem also prevails in many other States. Another objection urged against retaining the section, as it now stands, was, that if at any future time, our State sbould be invaded, and the city,of Raleight occupied by a Foreign enemy; there would be no legal or Constitu- tional authority whatever—during such occu- pation—for the Supremeto meet at any other place 6——Section 10 now reads as follows: “The Supreme Court shall have jurisdiction to review, upon appeal, any decision of the Courts below upon any matter of law or legal inference; but no issue of fact shall be tried before this Court; and the Court shall have power to issue any remedial writs necessary to give ita general supervision ang control of the inferior Courts.” The amendment strikes out the words: “dud no issue of fact shall be tried before this Court?— and inserts in lieu thereof—‘And the jurisdic- tion of said Court over “issues of fact’? and “questions of fact” shall be the same exercised by it before the adoption of the Constitution of one thousand eight hundred and sixty eight.” This amendment was proposed by Judge Albertson, a Republican—and was adopted by the Convention with entire unanimity. It simply restores to the Supreme Court its former authority and jurisdiction over “issues of fact’’and “questions” of “fact.” All lawyers and even all intelligent laymen are bound to concede the propriety of this change. 7 Section 12 now stands thus: “The State shall be divided into twelve judi- cial Districta, for each of which a Judge shall be chosen, who shall bold a Superior Court in each county in said District at least twice in each year, to continue for two weeks, unless the business shall be sooner disposed of.” The section as amended will read as follows: “The Scate shall be divided into nine Judi- cial Districts, for each of which a Judge shall be chosen ; and there shall be held a Superior Court in each County at least twice in each year, to continue for such time as may be pre- scribed by Jaw. But the General Assembly may reduce or increase the number of Districts.” The present section limits the number of Judges of the Superior Court to trelve—there must always be the same number—and neither less nor more. The amended section provided, that the present number shall be nixne—but leaves it in the power of the Legislature either to diminish or increase the number—as circumstances may may requjre. At present a greater number of Judges than pine is not needed—but at eome future period the business of the Courts and the growing necessities of the people may require even a larger number of Judges than twelve. Upon the happening of such a contingency, the Legislature ought to have the power to exercise its discretion in the matter, and to take such action as the best interests of the State [may demand. with them upon the new year, we imet] Phe present seotion pequines, y that » Soperi me rides a circuit of seven®.counties; ing there may not be business more than sufli- cient to occupy him one half of this time—and the counties are taxed with a vast deal of uselessexpense in.confequémée. © °° The section as amended provides that the terms of the Superior Courts in each county shall be held for such time as may be regulated by law. , This amendment will effect a present saving of $7.500 per annum—by way of reducing the number of Judges from twelve to nine—and the amounts, which will be saved to the several counties, on acconnt of the shortening of the terms of the Courts, which will inevitably take place, will be very great. This amendment will simply restore to the General Assembly authority formerly belong- ing to it under the old Constitution. There are only two objections which are urged against this amendment, to-wit : Ist. Nine Judges are not sufficient to do the work, which will devolve upon them. I think nine Judges of probity and talents will perform these labors far better than. twelve inferior Judges.” Previous to the year 1868 eight Judges arged duties equally great without compléint. 2nd—The General Assembly, as soon as it once has the power, will increase the number of Judges far beyond the present limit of twelve —and far beyond the real wants and require- ments of the people. If the people will elect a lot of fools and knaves to represent them—like the Radical Legislature of 1868—such a result may fol- low—but not otherwise. 8 See. 14 now reads as follows : “Every Judge of a Superior Court shall re- side in his District while holding his office. The Judges may exchange Districts with each other with the consent of the Governor, and the Governor, for good reasons, which he sball report to the Legislature at its current or next session, may require any Judge to hold one or more specified terms of said Courts in lieu of the Judge in whose District they are.” The section as amended will read thus : “Every Judge of the Superior Court shall reside in the District for which he is elected. The Judges shall preside in the Courts of the different Districts successively—-but no Judge shall hold the Courts in the same Dis- trict oftener than once in four years, but in case of the protracted illness of the Judge as- signed to preside in any District, or of any other unavoidable accident to him, by reason of which he shall become unable to preside, the Governor may require any {Judge to hold one or more specified terms in said Dis- trict, in Jieu of the Judge assigned to hold the Courts of said District.” This amendment will restore that good old practice of a rotation of the Judges—and every friend of law and order, and every lover of fair- play, without regard to party, must admit its propriety. There was-no opposition to it in the Convention. The present system is calcu- lated to make partisans of even our best Judges, and cries aloud for correction and reform. 9 Sections 26 aud 27 as they now atand are to the fullowing effect: The Justices of the Supreme Court and the Judges of the Superior Courts shall be elected by the qualified voters of the whole State, as is provided for the election of members of the General Assembly—and shall hold their offices for eight years. But the General Assembly is authorized to provide that the Judges of the Superior Courts may be elected by the voters of the several Districts—instead of by the voters of the whole State. The amendment strikes out both these sec- tions and inserts the following : “The Justices of the Supreme Court shall be elected by the qualified voters of the State, as is provided for the election of members of the General Assembly. ‘They shall hold their of- fices for eight years. The Judges of the Superior Courts, elected at the first election under this amendment, shall be elected in like manner as is provided for Jus- tices of the Supreme Court, and shall hold taeir offices for eight years. The General Assembly may, from time to time, provide by law that the Judges of the Superior Courts, chosen at succeeding elections, instead of being elected by the voters of the whole State, as is herein pro- vided for, shall be elected by the voters of their respective Districts,” I do not think the amendment was needed at all—for the sections, as they now read, mean the same thing, properly construed, as the pro- posed new section. And it seems to me to be a question, whether the length of the terms of any of the Superior Court Judges, except those who shall be elected in the year 1878, ia defin- ed atall. The words of the new section, “elected at the first election under this amendment,’’ are entirely unneccssary—and if in the original ordinance, certainly do not convey the meaning of the introducer of the proposition, In my copy of the ordinance, as originally printed, (and laid on my desk) during the session of the Convention, those words were noted by me in such a way as to show, that they were to be stricken out; and I think it was so understood. I am free to confess, that if these words stand, the Legislature will have the power to regula- late the length of the terms of the Superior Court Judges to be elected after the year 1878— although if the Legislature were to make the terms of these Judges either greater or less than eight years, it would violate the spirit of this amendment, and would place upon it a construction not given to it by the members of the Convention, who framed it. The amendment was adopted without oppo- sition or objection from any one. I do not believe any future Legislature will dare to fix the terms of the Judges of the Super- ior Courts different from that intended by the Convention. Buteven if I shall be misfaken in this opinion, it is a matter of no great conse- quence. Under our former Constitution and laws, all the Judges were elected by the Legis- ture, during their good behavior—and I am not sure but what that is the best policy, at all times, and under all circumstances. 10.—Section 31 is amended so as to read as follows: “All vacancies occuring in the offices provid- ed for by this Article of this Constitution shall be filled by the appointment of the Governor, unless otherwise provided for, and the appoin- tees shall hold their places until the next regular election [for members of the General Assembly, when elections shall be held to fill such offices. If any person, elected or appointed to any of said of- | foes, shall neglect and fail to qualify, such office shal] be oppovaiad to, bald cand Aled, 0» pevaiile? Court shall be held in each eounty of the State at least twice in each Yer tools weeks, unless the A f dis-j; posed of. The result a. Judge,; who: A tei of saeco Fp It is well known, that all the Supreme and Superior Court Judges, elected at the first elec- tion under the present Constitution, have been | eBablea by a judicial construction to hold their | offices for two years longer than the Conetitu- tion ever contemplated.. It will also’ be recol- lected, that the present incumbent of this Judi- cial District now holds his office by virtue of an interpretation put upon the words, “regular election,” by the Supreme Court—different from that commonly understood. This amend- ment gives those words a constitutional mecn- ing, which is in accordiance with the common understanding of the people—and requires Judges to go out of office, when the terms for which they have been chosen shall have ex- pired—and authorizes the appointee of a Gov- ernor, filling vacancy, to hold it, not for the whole remainder “of the unexpired term, but only until the people themselves I oan have an opportunity to fill the place by an election. 11——Section 33 is amended 80 as to give Jus- tices of the Peace jurisdiction of all civil actions founded on contract, wherein the sum deman- ded shalt not exceed two hundred dollars, and wherein the title to real estate shall not be in controversy—but'does not give them “exélusive original jurisdiction” of the same. The Gen- eral Assembly is also authorized togive Justices jurisdiction of matters of tort wherein the val- ue of the property in controversy does not ex- ceed $50. A poor man, who sues his debtor before a Justice, notwithstanding his debt orjudgment may be under $25, may have an appeal to the Superior Court if he thinks proper to pray one. At present that privilege is denied to him, Otherwise, the jurisdiction of Justices will remain the same as at present. 12——Thetwo sections following are pro- posed to be added to this article: “Section —. Any Judge of the Supreme Court or of the Superior Courts, and the presiding officers of such Courts inferior to the Supreme Court as may be established by law, may be removed from office for mental or physical ina- bility upon a concurrent resolution of two- thirds of both houses of the General Assembly. The Judge or presiding officer, against whom the General Assembly may be about to proceed, shall receive notice thereof, accompanied by a copy of the causes alleged for his removal, at least twenty days before the day on which either House of the General Assembly shall act thereon. Sec. —. Any Clerk of the Supreme Court, or of the Superior Courts, or of such Courts infe- rior to the Supreme Gourt as may be establish- ed by law, may be removed from office for men- tal or physical inability; the Clerk of the Su- preme Court by the Judges of said Courts, the Clerks of the Superior Courts by the Judge riding the district, and the Clerks of such Courts inferior to the Supreme Court as may be estab- lished by law, by the presiding officers of said Courts. The Clerk against whom proceedings are instituted shall reccive notice thereof, ac- companied by a copy of the causes alleged for his removal at least ten daws before the day appointed to act thereon, and the Clerk shall be entitled to an appeal to the next term of the Superior Court, and then tothe Supreme Court, as provided in other cases of appeals.” The first section is a literal transcript of sec- tion If. of Art. IfL of the Amendmenis to the old Constitution of 1835. Both sections pro- vide summary and inexpensive remedies to enable the people to displace inefficient Judi- cial officers—without the necessity of always being compelled to resort to the tedious and expensive method of Impeachment. 13——The fo! lowing section was also adopted by the Convention under the title of an amend- ment to this Article: “The amendments made to the Constitution of North Carolina by this Convention shall not have the eflect to vacate any office or term of office now existing under the Constitution of the State, and filled, or held, by virtue of any election or appointment under the said Consti- tution, and the laws of the State made in pur- suance thereof.” This section was adopted, in order to agree exactly with the restrictions imposed upon the Convention by the Act of the General As- sembly calling it—and which restrictions each member of the Convention, at the time of his qualification as a delegate, had taken an oath to obey.

McKinsey & Mellen for the sale of real estate in the States of Virginia and North Caroli- na. This enterprise, if properly conducted, as it doubtless will be, must necessarily prove of great enefit to the people of this section, and purticularly to the large land holders of the two States named. Capt. McKinsey is a gentleman of large business experience, having for many years before the late war, been one of our largest merchants and tcbacco menufacturers, be- sides being extensively engaged in the busi- ness of agriculture, and in'speculatioas in real estate in and around Danville, » Myeh of the growth and prosperity of onr city, is due to the public spirit of this gentleman.

CHAPEL HILL, N. C., DEC. 17th, 1875. DEAR MR. BRUNER: Back at your post! You need’nt try to put off “the old love” till you are ready to put off ‘this mortal coll.” How the work of earlier years enchains us, in taore than one sense of the word! Busy toil has de- layed my grateful and fricndly adieu to your asso- ciate, who has lately retired from your sanctuia, and my sincere greeting to yourself, as you resume the duties of Editor-in-chie?. even more pleasant and profitable than when you began it, in the vigor of your manhood! As I write, thoughts crowd the mind, of the vicissitudes of the old Watchman, its private and public struggles, 1ts benefits to individuals, the community, Rowan coun- ty, the State and the Union. Your warmest friends do not appreciate what you have accomplished. You, even, do not know the extent of the influence of your columns. That influence has been silent but potent in thousands of contests in the lives of indi- viduals and in many mighty contests involving the interests of town, county, State and country. But I must not follow ®this suggestive line of thought. “The living present” commands our attention. AS you come to the helm, the sea is lashed by mad winds and there are rumblings that threaten up- heaval. The whole country isin the agonles of a financial crisis, and there are few who are free from trembling. The dregs of the last War still embitter the cup which must press the lips of ourselves and our children. A tremendous Presidential contest is approaching. We have reached that stage in the history of our country in which the revolving hinges hang thick. To-day has Httle morrow, and fearfully distrusts tt. The destiny of the Republic will be better undgrstood at the end of the next three years. Buta truce lo all this, also. In all this section of the State, especially la the rural districts, the people are in a distresstul state of {mpecuniosity. Neither integrity, security, property nor love can easily command money. Whetiier it be contraction or reaction from speculation or the con- sequences of spoiation, this is certain: the financial walls are narrowiug like the walls of the Inquisition ut Venice. Fortunately, ander a gracious Provi- these stringent times fiind the people in possession of a comparatively bountiful crop of the necessaries of life. Itis peculiarly pleasant to ob- serve that the spirit of disciminating charity pre_ Valls, and those who are able, are, perhaps, more prompt to give relief to the necessitous, than in the former days of plenty and prosperity. There are many unrecognized laws of compensation attending the evils incident to human soclety. Please accept the heartfelt thanks of friends of the State University for your generous articles in its behalf. Asan impartial interest of the whole State, {t looks with trustful solcitude to the press that 1s controlicd by true Carolinians. It has no organized society or fraternity Gn which to lean and from which to draw its support; but turns its fair, plead- ing and remembered face to every North Carolinian and says: J am yours; help ime The appealzco the ladies of North Carolina (which you kindly published) written by Mrs. Spencer, will, Lhope, lead to prompt responsive action in various parts of the State. The lirst session of the new career of the institution is truly gratifying to its most interested tricnds. There were 70 applicants and 64 matriculates during the session. By united effort, notwithstanding the peculiar disadvantages of the first session, good order waS established and lmuaintained. The de- portmentof the young men wys, with few exceptions, truly gratifying, and their application and progress encouraging. Anincrease in numbers is expected on the 6th of January, when the next half-term begins. Surely Salisbury will send down some representa- tion on that day. Truly Yours, ‘AS P.S. Ihave just heard an enviable compliment paid the Jately-introduced Associate Editor. It was uttered by a lady of laste. ae ee for the Watchman. A LAUGHABLE MISTAKE. It is a well known fact that water and oil poured together will not commingle and unite and form anew compound. A certain nameless gentleman of Salisbury, and an A. B. of one of the best colleges in N. Carelina, some months since, thought he would try the experiment of converting Jdnsced Oil into molasses, but—we shall see.—On dSatur- day, there being a crowd of customers at a certain Store, in Iredell county, and the pro- prietor and his clerks not being able to at- tend as expeditiously as was desired, to the wants of every one, requested A.B. to go into the basement and draw some molasses, whither he went and drew from the first barrel reached, what he thought contained molasses, poured it into the jug and handed it to the awaiting customer. However, be- fore starting home, this woman called to see some friends then working in the Tobacco Factory. One of them seeing ber with a jug in hand asked about the contents, and on being told ‘twas molasses, thought she would test the quality of the same. She raised the jug to her lips, toper like, and tilled her mouth. But, horror of horrors ! what was the nasty and disagreeably smelling and tasting stuff, which she spout. ed out of her mouth instantly, making many a grimace, and uttering not a few exclama- tions! The purchaser of oil instead of mo- lusses, at once returned to the crowded store with a face as black as a thunder cloud, and soundly berated our improvised A. B. clerk tor his imposition on an honest woman. Our Lawyer in embryo delayed not “the order of his going,” but seizing the jug rushed fran- tically froun the midst of the laughing crowd tur the cellar, emptied it and filling it with molasses, returned triumphantly, and said he would bet it was “all xight now.” She lett for home, some two miles distant ; but before ‘twas thought she could possibly have reached her destination she was back again. "I'would take a more graphic pen than mine to picture the wrath that flashed from her eyes and face and the indignation jn her wordsand actions.

FARMER JOHN. Home from his journey, ['armer John ‘Arrived this morning, =:fe and sound. His black coat off, and inis old clothes on, “Nowl’m myself!” says Farmer John; And he thinks, I’!l look around.” Up leaps the dog : “Get down, you pup! Are you so glad you would eat me up ?” The horses prick np their ears to meet him; “Well, well, ola Bay ! Ha, ha, old Gray ! Do you get good food when I am away ?” ‘You haven’t a rib!” says Farmer John ; The cattle ae looking round sleek ; The colt is going to be a roan, And g beauty too—how he has grown ! We’il wean the calf next week.” Says Farmer John, “When I’ve been off, To call you agxin about the trough, . And watch you and pet you while you drink Is a better comfort than you can think” And pats old Bay, And he slaps old Gray. “\h, this is the comfort of going away” “For after all,” says Parmer Jolin, “The best of a journey is getting home, I’ve seen great sights, but would I give, This spot, and the peaceful life I live, For aJl their Paris and Rome? There hills for the city’s stifled air And big hotels all buatle and glare; Land all houses, and roads all stones, That deafen your eara and batter your bones, Weuld yon, old Bay? Would you, old Gray ? That’s what one gets by going away.” “There money is king,” say» Farmer John: ‘And sashion is queen; and it’s mighty queer To see how sometimes, while the man Is raking and scraping all he can, The wife spends every year Enough, you would think, for a score of wives, To keep them in Inxury all their lives! The town isa perfect Babylon To a quiet chap,” says Parmer John. “You see, old Bay, You see, old Gray, I’m wiscr than when I went away.” “T've found out this,” says Farmer John, | “That happiness is not bought and sold And ebutched in a life of waste and hurry, In nights of pleasure and days of worry. An.loweatth isn’t all in goid, Mortgage and stocks and ten per cent., But in simple ways and sweet content, Few wants, pure hopes and noble ends, Some land to till, and a few good friends, Like you, old Bay. Like von, old Gray ! That’s what I’ve iearned by going away.” Anda happy man is Farmer John, O, arich and bappy minis he! He sees the peas amd puinpkins growing, The corn in tassel, the buckwheat blowing, And fruit on vine and tree. The large, kind oxen look their thanks Ashe rubs their forenead and stroke their flanks; The doves light round him, and strut and coo, And you, old Bay, And you, old Gray, Next time I travel so far away.” = ~<a — GLEANINGS. It was pride that change angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.— Augustine. The noblest spirits are those which turn to heaven, not in the hour of sorrow, but in that of joy; like the| lark, they wait for the clouds to dis- perse, that they may soar up into their native element.—ARichter. A London Custom-House ofticer says that his experience convinces him that women as a rule would rather smuggle their gloves and other knick- knacks than receive the same as a present free of cost. A person who would throw away a barrel of soft soap, or box full of hard soap would be called wasteful. After a barrel of soap has been diluted, and has passed through the washtub, the elements of fertility in the mass will be cven more valua- ble to the growing trees and plants than if applied in any other manner. And is there then such reverence shown towards thee, my God, in heay- en? Such boldness on earth? The angels glorify; men scrutinize ; angels raise their voices in praise, men in disputation; they conceal their faces with their rings ; but man with a& presumptuous gaze would look into thine unspeakable glory.—Chrysos- tom. One of my shade trees had died, and an old gentleman past eighty years was looking at it one day, when he asked: what kind of a tree is this?” “A maple,” [ replied. “A dead maple,” he soliloquized, “it’s seldom we sce such a tree. I know a man who would give a thousand dollars to see it.” “A thousand dollars to see a dead maple tree ?” I asked wonder- ingly. “Yes,” he added sadly, “the poor fellow is blind.” Warmth, light and proper ventila- tion are very important objects requir- ing the attention of the careful stock raises, for stock will fatten much quicker when the stable is kept warm, and the carbonic acid gas, which the avimals breathe and the ammonia from the manure have free egress, and a current of fresh air can rush in and supply its place. A Danbury deacon nearly captured five boys who had_ been devastating his chestnut trees one Sunday after noon, Shaking his fist at their re- treating forms, he angrily shouted— “The sneaking little rascals! If I had hold of’em one minute ’'d”—and then suddenly espying his pastor on the scene, he impressively added— “1d pray for em!” The sale of shorthorns, draft-herses, and Cotswold sheep, at the Crystal Palace, Toronto, on the 3rd inst., was]. the largest ever held in Canada. The three highest prices paid were $4,- 500 for-seventeenth Duke of Airdric, bought by A. McKlintock of Millers- bargh, Kentucky ; $4,000 for Kirk- Ieigtaa Duchess Eighteenth, bought hy H. Coghrane Campton, and $3,- 50046? Oneida Rose, bought by B. B. Groom ‘of Kentucky. The ‘total Leverrier, who hiscuvered the peace ar 4 tune, whien couid eat up this little ear of ours and not sufferer from indigestion in consequence, has made a prediction which is noteworthy. It ig that the win- ter of 1875-’76 will be uneommonly se- vere. Enormous quantities of snow are to fall in December and January. A Goop CHANCE.—Granite, marble, brown stone and a great variety of beau- tifal building material exists in unlimited quantities along the Carolina Central Railway, offering an excellent opportuni- ty for enterprising men to go tu work.— Wil. Review. —_——_2r0e Coat Deposits.—The existence of large deposites of coal is known along the line of the Carolina Central Railway. The quality of the coal is somewhat like that found in the Egypt mine, and prob- ably an extension of the Chatham county deposits. Efforts are being made to ascertain the extent and value of the veins which crop out near Boggin’s Cut and west of Wadesboro. If expectations are realized, it must add another resource for trade and prosperity to the city of. Wil- mington.—Jb. oe A Parr or Misers.—Guy, the founder of the noble hospital in London which bears his name, was a_bookseller.. He was so complete a pattern of parsimony that the famous miser, Vulture Hopkins, once called upon him to crave a lesson on | the art of saving. Being introduced into the parlor, Guy, as it waa in the evening and dark, lighted a candte. Hopkins said: “Sir, 1 always thought myself perfect in the art of getting and husband- ing money. Butas Iam intormed you far exceed me, I have taken the liberty of waiting upon you, to be satisfied upon that subject.” “Ob, sir,” said Guy, ‘‘if that be all your business, we can as well talk it over in the dark.’’ Having thus said, he put out the candle. This was enough for Vulture. He took his leave at once, Seth Green the noted sportsman and fish eulturist, in the last number of Forest and Stream makes what he considers a very important suggestion to trout fishermen. He says that the must active hook in fly-fishing, and one which he himself always uses, is made from a strong needle, annealed, bent and tempered, and consequently without a barb. He asserts that only in this way can a really sharp hook be obtained, that the tension of the rod is amply sufficient to keep such a hook in its place, and that a very gentle stroke will fix the keen point in the mouth of the fish, ————_ ~<£P>-______-_—— Consciousness of unbelief is a sign of actual faith. Infidels are never troubled with unbelief. Dead men never feel cold. Frozen feet never ache. And a soul given up to ungodliness, bound hand and foot in sin, has no trouble with unbelief. It is only when faith shoots its first il- luminated ray into the darkened heart that the baneful presence of unbelief is made manifest. It is only when the troubled soul can say, “I do believe,” that it starts back at the abyss of doubt which that first gleam of faith discloses, and exclaims: ‘Help thou my unbelief !” —_—_——_+<>-— An Indiana paper, alluding, to the death of the man who designed the great seal of that State, remarks that “any man who would try to make people believe a full-grown buffalo bull would deliberately rush up to a granger who was chopping down a tree at sunrise ought to die.” But the State seal of Indiana is not by any means the most remarkable of the de- vices employed for that purpose. Georgia offers something more aston- ishing in a picture of an absurd sum- mer-house supported by three pillars, and guarded by a Contennial soldier with weak legs; and Kentucky ac- tually presents a figure of Gen. Wash- ington in the act of holding up an intoxicated friend in order to keep him from falling against a bookcase in the background. After this, Cali- fornia’s device of Minerva sittingon a stone, while a cinnamon bear nibbles her left leg, seems artistic and nice. —~~4>>-______. A HEALTHY FREE LUNCHER. While on his travels a tramp no- ticed a placard in front of a bar-room. It bore the pleasing legend: “Free Lunch,” and he went in, walked un- ostentatiously up to a plate, and com- menced operations with a sandwich ; then the bar-keeper walked upto the cadavarous wretch and said : “Men who eat here are expected to pay fora drink.” “I know it,” said the tramp. “Well, then, why don’t you con- form to the rule ?” “Cause I go in for health, and don’t drink till I am through eat- ing.” The bar-keeper turned his back for a moment, and the tramp slipped three sandwiches into his coat pocket and calmly devoured four ; then he walk- ed up to the bar, and to the dispenser of stimulants huskily whispered : “Gimme a glass o’ water, will ye ?” “What ?” water, after four sand- wiches 2?” bellowed the bar-keeper an- grily. ‘‘Yes’r, water,” replied the tramp. “Pve been drinkin’ 2 it for nigh arte forty years, and it’s just the healthiest stuff a goin’.” _ And he hobbled out; but if he had caught the foot that flew after him, he wouldn’t have been satiafied with the eum realized. was $79,000. “booty” of his visit, we LP" The Bieat Astronomer of Paris |” ~“X OHRISTMAS LEGEND. I was. Christmas eve, The night was very dark and the snow falling fast, as Hermann, the chareoal burner, drew his cloak tighter around him, and the wind whistled fiercely through the trees of the black forest. He had been to carry a load toa castle near, and was now hastening home, to his little hut. Although he worked very hard, he was poor, gaining barely enough for the wants of his wife and four little children. He was think- ing of them, when he heard a faint wailing. Guided by the sound, he groped about and found a little child, scantily clothed, shivering and sobbing by itself in the snow. “Why, little one, have they left you here all alone to face the cruel blast ?” The child answered nothing, but looked piteously up in the charcoal burner’s face. “Well, I cannot leave thee here. Thou would’st be dead before morn- ing.’ ; saying, Hermann raised it in his arms, wrapping it in his cloak and warming its little cold hands in his bosom. When he arrived at his hut, he put down the child and tapped at the door, which was immediately thrown open, and the children rushed to meet him. “Here, wife, is a guest to our Christ- mas eve supper,” said he leading the | little one, who held timidly to his, finger with its tiny hand. “And welcome he is,” said the wife. “Now come and let him warm him- self by the fire.” The children all pressed around to welcome and gaze at the newcomer. They showed him their pretty fir tree, decorated with bright, colored lamps in honor of Christmas eve, which the good mother had endeavor ed to make a fete for the children. Then they sat down to supper, each child contributing its portion for the guest, looking with admiration at his dear, blue eyes and golden hair, which shone so as to shed a brighter light in the little room ; as they gazed it grew into a sort of halo round his head, and his eyes beamed with a heavy luster. Soon two white wings ap- peared at his shoulders, and he seem- ed to grow larger aad larger, and then the beautiful vision vanished, spread- ing out his hands as in benediction over them. Hermann and his wife fell on their knees, exclaiming in woe-struck voices, “the holy Christ-child!” and then embraced their wondering children with joy and thankfulness that they had entertained the Heavenly Guest. The next morning, as Hermann passed by the place where he had found the fair child, he saw a cluster of white flowers, with dark green leaves, lookirg as though the snow itself had blossomed. Hermann pluck- ed some and carried them reverently home to his wife and children, who treasured the fair blossoms and tend- ed them carefully in the remembrance of that wonderful Christmas eve, call- ing them Chrysanthemums ; and every year, as the time came round, they put aside a portion of their feast and gave it to some poor little child ac- cording to the words of Christ: In- asmuch as ye have done it untol;one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” —_—--—-+_~<-— Jonn L.

King Thomp- ‘son, the Brooklyn Yankee author of the late horrible explosion at Bremer Haven, died yesterday by his own hands, follow- ing the eighty pale ghosts of his yictims into eternity. Allthe crime-stained an- nale of this fiends’ millennium furnish nothing that surpasses his atrocity.— Think of the monstrous diabolism. To gain afew thousaud paltry france of over- insurance on the steamship Mosel, he deliberately prepared a can of dynamite, which is simply death and perdition con- densed, and arranged clock~work to exe plode it in six or eight days. He knew that hundreds of human beings would be on board, part of them the poor wretches just rescued from the wreck of the Deutschland. He knew that the deyils’ own deyiee which he had planued would scatter the last fragment of the noble ship aud all her precious freight of life and love and hope, to the devouring winde and waves; that no survivor would be left to tell the tale of horror and destruction. But, with a cool, gigantic sweep of re- morseless greed and cruelty, that must have stirred ali pandemonium with admi- ring amazement, he completed his engia- ery and concealed it in a trunk for ships ment. God, who sometimes thwarts even the demoniac ingenuity of yankee ghouls, interposed to prevent bis success. Some jolt or jar on the landing caused a premature explosion, and though eighty bystanders and friends of the embarking pasecpgere were killed, the ship and her undreds of voyagers were saved. — ‘Thompson was suepected, arrested, cen- fessed the whole astounding plot, and suicided—another representative of Amer- ican character abroad—fit countryman ‘SIMONTON FEMALE COLLEGE, PROGRAMMES, Civeulars, CORRS.
