The great anxiety felt in England for the fatuze safety and efficiency of the British navy, on account of torpedoes, is shown by the atsempted formation of an International Torpedo Association, whicli Lieutenant Colonel Martin, of Boxgrove, Guilford, late commanding 4th (the King’s own) Royals, is about to set on feet. He says in his programme : ‘When explosive bullets and chain shots were invented and actually used in war, nations wnanimous- ly agreed to discoatinne their use and prohibit their manufacture; yet explosive ‘bullets and chain shots, it must be admit- ted, are harmless as compared to torpe- does. Poisoning is prohibited in war. Why not prohibit torpedoes, which are actually more subtle and deadly than poi- son, there being no antidote to escape from them?

He gave con- quered countries the choice of the sword or the Koran with paying tribute to his government. The civil power of Moham- medanism has been extensive, and its spiritual influence has been exerted dele- teriously over a large number of the human family. Its civil or political power began in A. D., 622, this being the first year of the oak or flight of Mohammed, , from Mecca to Medina, from which date,their chronology begins. . John, ig Reyelation 9: 1—ll, gives a clear description of this desolating dela- sion, together with the time its conquests were to continue. Histime is five months, or 150 yeara, (9: 10). Now from the first preaching of Mohammed in A. D, 612 to the founding of Bagdad, A. D..762, when they became a ecttled people, and ceased their conquests, is 150 years, or five months, (3Ox5—150;) Bagdad was founded A. D. 762, and it means *‘The city of peace.” They continued in power up to the begin- ning of the 14th century and..are known in profane history as Saracens.. During the 11th, 12th and 13th centaries the Tar- komans came from Independent Tartary into. Persia, and countzies arpund the Ea- phrates, and there founded four Suitanies, of which Damascus, Aleppo, Ioouium and Bagdad were the respective chief cities. | These were restrained, or remained with-. beanden duty to keep peace with other | countries, but every one will admit that the sooner the ‘International Anti-Torpe- do) Asseetation has aecom plished its task, the better for the cnuse of humanity !” It is much to be fuared that other na- tions will prefer te take a different view of: the case, and continue to consider tor- peddes a cheap and offective counterpoise to the costly and powerfal English iron- | Cladss rs ae The Fail Cireuite.The ridings for the fall circuit of the Superior Court are as follows : . lst District—James L.

WYCKLIFFE AND PIUS IX. Sunday, June 3d, was a high day at Rome. Pio Nono celebrated the jubilee of his Episcopal consecration, while on the same day the Italian people celebrated with great rejoicing the thirtieth anniver- sary of their political constitution, which also is a kind of jubilee, as thirty years about représents the life of a generation, and the Roman Charch has itself ordained that each generation should have its jabi- lee. The coincidence of thetwo celebrations at Rome is not a little striking, and it brings out into very bold relief the won- derful changes in the condition and the prospects of Enropean society which have been accomplished within the Pontificate of the present Pope. At the same time we are called to celebrate a still more sig- nificant and important jubilee—the jubi- lee of John Wyckliffe, the 500th anniver- sary of the formal condemnation of his doctrine by the Papal Conrt. So we are living in the atmosphere of jubilees. It is curious that the 50th year.of the Episco- pate of Pio Nono, which summons a great concourse of pilgrims to Rome, with gifts and offerings and every demonstration of joy, falls in the very month of the 500th anniversary of the formal condemnation of the first principles of the English Re- formation by his predecessor. If he will trouble himself to compare Roman Italy as it was when a few years ago he ceased to have power to blight it, with the Eug- land which Gregory XT. was so sure would be cursed and blasted if the pestilent ideas of Wyckliffe were allowed to spread, it may be suggestive of some fruitful though humbling reflections. The English which by all Papal rules shonld be grovelling in misery, and Cowering in shame, has pass- ed on 'to the van of the world. The most free, active, intelligent, industrious, and prosperous of peoples has grown strong and giad under the teaching which the Pope cursed with such bitter vehemence; while the successor of Gregory calls him- self sadly the prisoner of the Vatican, and the enémies who have, ashe maintains, despoiled lim, celebrate their jubilee, and miake ‘merry, under his very eyes. The contrast is certainly a striking one be- tween P. t England and Vatican Rome ; ‘nay, we may go further, and say betweéén Teutonic Protestantism in Eng- land, Germany, America, and Australia, andthe kingdoms which still wither un- der the sway of the Latin Church.— Eng- lish Independent. — A Louisiana paper puts the case thus: From all the city papers comes the ery of thousands of starving people who have nothing to do. Want of employment seeins to be the great want of the day with the city people. It is said that in New York upwards of fifty thousand fam- ities are Out/of bread. In New Orleans many thousarids are starving for the want of work. ‘Plousdnds are waiting for the Pacifie rafiroad and the jetties to bring them something to do. The city journals até continually firing off tong leaders on the subject'of want of capital, enterprise anit Diisiness, and giving leatned Gisqui- sitions on the subject of trade and finance, and the mode to'get things in shape once more. ‘Phe Pacific.

The Tories - Moore ocen- | pied a wooded knoll with an ‘open field of 200 yards in front over which the Whigs would have to attack them. . Notwith- standing these advantages, Gen. Ruther- ford, who was encamped below Charlotte with 500 men, resolyed to march to the attack and he sent an express to Colonel Locke to join him. The messenger never reached Locke, and each officer began his march on his own responsibility. ‘Locke reached the field some hours in advance of Rutherford, and with a soldier’s impet- uosity began the attack unaided. The attack in front failed and the Tories press- ed back their assailants, but the Whigs were not discouraged and by a movement under cover of the woods succeeded in gaining the flank and rear of the enemy, who fell back in confusion. It is difficult to over-estimate the im- portance of this victory. It prevented a rising of the Tory element in Western North Carolina, and it inspired the Whigs with hope and courage. It was the prer cursor of the decisive victory at King's Mountain on the 7th of October of. the same year, which was, in many respects, the most important victory of the great rebellion, though hardly alluded to in Northern annals. It is hardly too much to say that the igspiration of Ramsour’s Mill achieved the crowning triumph at King’s Mountain.—Southern Home. AFRICAN EXPLORATIONS.—Those ‘who attained maturity may recollect seeing upon maps of Africa a large blank space in the centre, indicating @ land unexplor- ed and unknown. have pierced its mysteries, and ascertain- ed that this region of great equatorial lakes is one of the most populous and fertile of the earth, and that an immense plateau, among mountains crowned with eternal snows, is watered by great streams pro- ceeding from them, and offers climates of various degrees of temperature. This in- viting land is, however, the abode of sav- ages, who are at perpetual war with each other, and who mutually cause a destruc- tion of human life computed at hundreds of thousands a year. Atleast 40,000 slaves are also annually captured there, for use upon the continent, or for shipment else- where. The International African Asso- ciation, headed by the King of Belgium, desires to commence the civilization of the country by establishing stations for scientific observations and for the use and protection of travellers; and branches of the assuciation have been formed in sev- eral European countries.—N. Y. Sun. Mrs. Ruth Beaton, the largest womee in the world, is dead. She was 54 of age, 7 feet 4 inches high, and we ened 585 pounds.

I think one of the most important was omitted, viz: the coach brake from which I have ander- stood the car brake now in use was made. It was invented by Ben. Seim, (Anthony Bencini), of Salisbury, N.

REMEDY FOR INSECT BI When a mosquito, guat, iO8 it deposits or injects an atom of an acidu- lous fiaid of a polsonoas nature. The re- sults are irritation, a sensation of tickling, itehing, or of pain. The tickling of flies we are comparatively indifferent about; bat the itch produced by a flea, or gnat, or other noisome insect, disturbs our se- renity, and, like the pain of a wasp or & bee sting, excites us to.a remedy. The best remedies for the sting of insects are those which will instantly neutralize this acidulous poison deposited in the skin. These are either ammonia or borax. The alkaline re-action of ree ann yet sufficiently appreciated. However, s time will come when its good qualities will be known, and more universally valaed than ammonia, or as it is commonly termed, “bhartahorne.” The solution of borax for insect bites is made thus: Dissolve. one ounce of borax in one pint of water that has been beiled and allowed to cool. In- stead of plain water, distilled rose water, elder, or orange flower water, is more pleas- ant. The bitesareto be dabbed with the so- lution so longas there isany irritation. For beex’ or wasps’ stings, the borax solution ‘may be made of twice the above strength. In every farm-house this solution should be kept as a household remedy.—S. Piesee. —_—_ -aao—— ABOUT PEANUTS AND PEANUT OIL. There is hardly an article of American production, of apparently so little note, that has growr so rapidly in importance as the peanut. Instead of 1,000, there are fally 550,000 bushels sold avnually in the city of New York alone. Previous to 1860 the.tetal pred uet of the United States did not amount to more than 150,000 bush - els, and of this total full five-sixths were from North Carolina. Now, North Caro- olina produces 125,000 bushels; Virginia, 300,000 bushels; Tennessee, 50,000 bush- els; Georgia and South Carolina, each 25,000 bushels, while from Africa comes 100,000 bushels a year. What is done with all these peanuts? In this country they are eaten, and sent all over the land, from Maine to Oregon, for this purpose. The demand is greater than the supply. In France they are used for making oil, rior to the best olive oil for salad purpo- ses. In the South, during the war, it was so used. The oil was also ased as a lubricator, and asa substitute for lard, while the cake residium was ground, roasted and sold as a substitute for coffee. At present peanuts are not used in this country for oil, the price being too high. Thus it will be seen that their uses are extensive and varied, and that the crop which now yields over $2,250,000, and which did not add to the commerce of the country more than 200,000 ten years ago, it is at least not unworthy of note.- Exchange. —————— ———$—$$———-- — RAT-CATCHING. The St. Louis Times says :—‘‘Richard Toner, a professional rat-catcher of con- siderable notoriety in New York city, ar- rived in St. Louis yesterday, aud has tak- rats. He is accompanied by one assistant and has a thereughly trained ferret. Mr. Toner says that rats begin to breed at the age of three months, and once every month the number of the little never varies, and is always composed of twelve males and one female ; that if the number of females was great as males rats would become a plague that all the terries anid rat-catchers in the country could not keep down. He began operations at the Lindell last night, in the presence of halfa dozen persons. He ny bag, and a peculiarly constructed pair of tongs or nippers. The tongs are about two and a half feet long, and have handles like shears. Mr. Toner gave the bag to his assistant, and took the dark lantern in his left hand and the tongs in his right. Equipped in this manner, he crept about the cellars among barrels and boxes, and therr-acized a rat with the tongs. The assistant, who kept right at his heels, in- stantly opened the mouth of the bag and the rat was dropped into it, the process of capture not oceupying over ten seconds. He says that when he throws the strong light from the lantern upon a rat it does not run, but simply turns to prevent the light from shining onitaeyes. As it turns there is no difficulty in seizing it with the tongs. “Mr. Toner did not- make any use of his ferret antil about } o'clock, when ev- erything was quiet in the house. He first went all over the premises, examining the rat holes te fumiliarize himself with the rats’ ‘runways.’ He says the rats have certain holes to run through when they are frightened, and that an experienced rat-catcher can soon learn how these hules lead, After acquiring this knewledge he he sent his ferret into a rat hole and sta- tioned himself at the other end of the hole. For instance, he found.s rat hole iu the pantry and traced its course down into the cellar, where it came out in some cor- ner. He started the ferret into the hole up stairs and stationed himself below with his tongs. The ferret pushed his way along the turnings of the hole and drove'the rats abead of him. As the rats ran from the hole in the cellar Toner pick- ed them up with his tongs and dropped them in his bag.” _—_—— A sou] without prayer is like a solitary sheep without its shepherd, The tempter sees it, and lures it away into his snare. ———_ + “Some say ‘to-morrow’ never comes, A haying oft thought right ; But if ‘to-morrow’ never came, No evld were of ‘to-night.’ The fact ie thia, time flies so fast, Tliat e’er we've time to say 2 d nt ei. all the vowel}s in their Prope order'7—Facetions, “*°'' > ‘Tomorrow's come,’ presto ! behold! ‘To-thorrow! proves *To-day.” © which is by many considered to be supe- | according 30 the plan and specifications which form the basis of the contract it cost of the will Le about $30,000 of which Mesars.

One would suppose not, if the multitude of purposeless, aimless young men out of employment is any indication. There was atime when the master me- chanic had his house filled with hearty young apprentices, and when his journey- life for themselves. To men in middle life the recollections of those far off times when the master, his men and boys, form- ed a strong productive industrial group, seem like the memory of a primitive age. Sons of rich and educated men did not think it beneath them to swing the broad- axe in the ship yard, or the sledge ham- mer at the gevil Or they went to sea be- fore the mast, and climbed to the quarter deck from the forecastle. In a large family of boys one would be sent to allege, one might possibly go into merchantile pursuits, and the others would choose their trades after many anxious but cheery family councila) Now-a-days the young lads shrink from the irksome confinement of the mechanic’s shop. If they cannot go to college and so while away their youth, they wust ‘‘go into a store”—anything but work, We do not betittle the vocation of a clerk or sales- man when we say that to be in either one or the other of callings Appears to most young men the most comfortable thing. Of all the pursuits which men follow, this seems to require the least prepration. At any rate the men who are willing to make themselves generally use- ful more naturally turn to the shop of the retail dealer than to any other souree of a They have never learned a trade. They like to wear good clothes and keep their hands soft and white. If they cannot stand behind the counter or desk, or secure political influence sufficient to push them into an office of some sort, they drift aimlessly about, looking for employ - ment which never comes. False ideas of living aud extravagant | notions are responsible for a great deal of | this hopeless misery. Young lads are brought up te consider manual labor de- en a contract to rid the Lindell House of | of things. A thereafter produce a litter of thirteen ; that armed himself with a dark lantern, a gun- grading, and fond, foolish parents some- | times seem to prefer that their children ‘should go out into the world helpless | rather than they should learnatrade. But | the selfishness of mechanics and the out- rageo 8 tyranny of their unions, have had | hand in see to pass the present state out twenty-five years ago there began a series of experiments in the | trades-unions which has resulted disas- trously. The times were good, work | plenty and wages fair. To maintain a a monopoly of these, associations of me- | chanies began to limit the number of ap- | prentices which might be employed in }each shop, factory, or company of work- | men. | Men who had sons to equip for life ac- | tually voted to shut the trade against |their own offspring. The consequence | was that, the supply of skilled workmen did not keep up with the expansion of the country, and with the legitimate demand. Employers were obliged to send abroad for workmen, and it came to pass that | grown men from foreign parts took the | places in American workshops for which American boys should have been educa- ted. Where now are those neglected, cheated boys? Some of them ata te jails and alme houses. Some will be found lounging on the benches in the public parks, vainly waiting for something to jturnup. Others, willing enough, are ad- | vertising for situations where they can make themselves generally useful. - ——- oe C—O A HANDSOME TRIBUTE. Nearly all of the Pan-Presbyterian dele- tes sailed from New York on the 16th net, The Sun makes it the occasion of a handsome tribute to Presbyterianisim, all the more so, because the editor is not of that faith. I¢ therefore has the grace of like eulogies from Macaulay and Bancroft. The Sun says : “Ou Saturday, a large number of Pres- byterinn clergymen sailed from this port to attend the’ BealPreabytbtden Council, which will assemble at. Edinburgh next month. Among the number were some of the most distinguished representatives of that communion in the United States. No denomination stands higher among us for the ability of ite divines thay the Pres- byterian. It is aleo a very rich and con- servative communion, including in_ its membership many of the most serious and solid men of the country.” It is Calvinis- tie to the backbone, unyielding in its orthodoxy, austere in ita practices, and not swayed by the winds of passing no- tions, Presbyterianism stands as a rock to resist the 8 of intidelity. Tp hold- ing its Eeumenical Council at Edinbargh, it selects a tit place for conference.” ‘The ancient ca of Scotland is. historic round of Calvinism, and there the Pres- yterian divines will be surrounded by the most inspiring monuments of their faith, avd incited by the memories of its triumphs.”—S.

The Plot of Echo Bridge. |* “This shall end !” The speaker was Judge Hayward’s ac- | complished and beautifal daughter Myra, | and she stood among the flowers that al~ most coveealed one of the balconies of per fair home, and looked upon two per- sons sauntering aimlessly through the below. . it was night, and the moon bathed the rden in a weird beauty. «| did not invite him here that he might fail in fove with that dell-faced girl at his side yonder!” she eontinmed with rising indignation, 48 she eleneched her white hands till the delicate nails seared the palms. “She has infatuated him—stolen him from me, despite my_¢herished plans and fondled hopes. I will not submit te it! I would not be a woman if I did not resent this trickery and punish—yes, punish both of them. Father would not have brooked a rival in his courtiug days, and I will not stand idle beside this de- feat and strike no blow for revenge. Speaking thus, the impassioned beauty watched the occupants of the garden, saw them traversing the flower paths like lovers, and heard the confused murmur of low gentle voices. Myra Hayward had been reared in the luxury found among the wealthy homes of the earth. An only child, her slightest wishes had been gratified, and she had grown to dazzling womanhood, petted and almost thoroughly spoiled by an indul- geut father. Besides her, and under the same roof, her orphan cousin, Babette, had also been reared. They had the same playthings, sang the same songs and trod the same paths until maturer natures formed. Then they separated. Myra, the dark haired beauty, develop- ed into the salf-will, capricious maiden, fond of coquetry, while Babette, the gol- den, was as gentle as the lily that bends to kiss the limpid brook. During one of her visits to some friends, the judge’s daughter encountered Cyrus Whitney, a young lawyer of prominence, and three acquaintance resulted in his coming to the aristocratic home. For several wetks prior to the date of our story the vistor had dwelt beneath the judge’s roef, loved passionately by the spoiled child of luxury, and trusted by the gentle cousin. The rivalry on Myra’s part had grown into the galling bitterness of hatred. She had never mentioned Babette to the visi- tor before his arrival, and he was surprised to find that she had such a lovely relative. Perhaps the young lawyer had fathom- ed the depths of Myra’s scheming, for he showed a decided liking for Babette, and the jealous one was not long in discover- ing that her planning had but produced a lover for the girl she hated. The discovery had given birth toa blighting passion before that time, with all her coquetry, unknown to her heart— “revenge!” “Perhaps you will condescend to keep your engagement with me to-morrow night !” she hissed, still looking at the couple in the garden. “Cyrus Whitney, all the stars that shine above me cannot tell how I hate you. To-morrow night that hatred may be revealed unto you. There is no one to warn you.” A moment later the baleony was de- serted, and the lovers had passed from the garden. With face still flushed by the words which Cyrus Whitney bad breath- ed into her ear among the flowers, Babet- te stole to her boudoir, while Myra tossed restlessly on her pillow, her mind a cal- dron of passion and revenge. Babette deftly slipped a ring from her finger, and hid it among her keepsakes in her little treasury, saying, in a low voice : “Cousin Myra must not sce it for sever- al days, if I can keep the secret so long. She will laugh when she discovers that she brought me a beau. Poor, confiding, unsuspecting Babette ! She did not dream of the terrible days that were to pass before Myra should see the betrothal ring. True to his promise, Cyrus Whitney rode beside Myra Hayward on the follow- ing evening. Their destination was the home of one of the beauty’s friends, sev- eral miles away, and the amusements there were to be dancing and ecarte. There was an unwonted flash in Myra’s eyes as she looked upon the handsome man who filled a saddle so gracefully at her side, and grew vivacious as they can- tered over the road. “Echo bridge,” as their steeds struck the planks of the bridge that spanned & deep, dark gorge. “If you have not been made acquainted with the delightful echoes of this region, Mr. Whitney, a rich treat has been withheld.” “Then I have missed the pleasure,” was the reply, “though your Cousin Babette has described it.” Myra started, bit her lip and toyed half Vvengefully with her riding whip. “When we return we will call out these Wonderful echoes,” she said. “When the night is quite advanced, as it may then be the sweeter and more prolonged are the sounds.—One needs to be ride rapidly across the bridge, and the rattling of hoofs and planks makes the music wilder. Cyrus Whitney seemed pleased with fore the start { the mansion, '¥ she had whispered to the cum man who had led her horse tot ing block : 8 e ; “Do not fail me, Dick,” were and he had answered : “Never fear, miss.” The moon became obscured, black cloud hid its dise, and threatened a storm, and the night became as dark as Erebus. Such was the hour when Myra and her escort set out upon their return. They were nearing Echo bridge as a terned from it and ran toward the mansion, not far away. He fled like a robber who has been sarprised at some nefarious work, for the sound of hoofs were already awaking the echoes of the hills. Once or twice he paused and liatened over his shoulder, then darted forward again, and at last became lost among the slave quarters attached to the estate. It was Yellow Dick! “I wouldn’t see it for the world?” he muttered, with a shiver, as he crept into a cabin. Years have since the terrible tragedy of “Echo B 5 den haired girl is the wife of Cc itney, and the woman who de- ned the awful event we venturess !” MARRIED IN THE DARK. [Jackson (Mich.) letter to the N. Y. Herald.) The Mary E. Knox case has been dis- eussed by the Herald and other journals as one of the most curious cases on record, and yet the dust covered legal records of Michigan tell of a case still more singular. —Miss Knox was engaged to a young He was evidently frightened, for he crept into one corner of the untidy room, and covered his head with a blanket as if he would keep certain sights and sounds away. In the meantime Myra Hayward and the man she hated had drawn reiv on a knoll a short distance from the gorge. ‘‘We will court the echo now,” she said, with a dash of triumph in her tone. ‘‘The bridge is just ahead, and if you will dash across I will follow when you shall have gained the other rise. From its summit you can hear the echo of your horse’s hoofs, and when I have joined you I will tell the story that is linked to the gorge.” He heared her, bowed, and with a smile told her that he was off. The next moment Myra beheld him dart from her side with the impulse of a rocket, and heard the iron hoof beating the hard road.—Then she held her breath and grew pale through excitement. A minute bad not elapsed when there was a cry that seemed to quiver the clouds of darkness that hung low over the chasm. Myra did not hear the dull thad that quickly followed, for the awful shriek was echoing everywhere, and her soul was full of it.. It was not repeated, for it seem- ed the death ery of a human being. The silence that followed was almost palpable. Myra heard the beating of her own heart, and at last urged her horse forward. On the very edge of the bridge she rode; there she drew rein and listened. Myra gazed into the terrible opening as if seeking the horse and his rider; but darkness seemed to stretch to the anti- podes and revealed nothing. Then she raised her voice in loud eries for assistance. The echo sounded every- where, and at last startled the inmates of the mansion beyond the knoll. Assistance came, and when the planks had been replaced, the beauty crossed the bridge. The excitement that prevailed is indescribable. The judge and his laborers were flitting hither and thither with lanterns, cursing the hand that could perform such a dia- bolical act, while Myra, in an apparently fainting condition, was borne to hercham- ber. The judge believed that some vil- lain had attempted to take the lives of his daughter and the young man, and declared that the guilty party should be brought to justice. The boldest in the party shrank from a descent into the darksome gorge, but the judge’s money overcame their fears, and they went down. By and by a shout came up. ““We have found him !” Judge Hayward started. ‘‘Dead ?” he asked with many misgiv- ings, and waited breathless for the reply. “Breathing, that is all.” Thank God, bringing him up! It was a mighty work—the rescue of Cyrus Whitney from the rocks and waves at the bottom of the chasm, but the men proved themselves equal to the task, and at last the ‘aeaghed body of the lawyer was laid at the judge’s feet. There was a plentitude of bruises, contusions, and bones, and the soul seemed about to re- linquish its tenure of life. Cyrus Whitney was borne to the judge’s house, and a surgeon sent for. Babette, the pale faced girl, listened on the top of the stairs to a discussion of his injuries by the group of men in the hall below, and then crept dazed a)most wild to her room, Myra with her door, ajar, and with flash- ing eyes, listened to the same words that caused her cousin such anguish. “I knew he would not survive!” she said, shutting the door. “TI said last night that I would put an end to the love mak- ing that has been going on in this house, and if I have not kept my word, let the hand of Heaven blight my beauty! My sweet Cousin Babette, you must hunt an- other lover now. And let him be one for whom I schemed.” The day# that followed were terrible oun ae of the judge’s man- sion. Babette grew thinner than ever over Cyrus Whitney’s couch and while long wore her toa shadow, she saw the idea of awakening the slumbrous Me in going to live '? Myra exclaimed yd AY almomenh «mya Te eet weed had scarcely left her lips when the door swung open, and her . to the State of Michigan, to be used for man named Mervitt, the day was set for the nuptials, they drove away together and were married, aud now Merritt vows that he was not the bridegroom. She | Vows that he was, but cannot prove it, ‘and both make out a pretty good case. One may well argue that he ought to | know whether he ever married « certain | young lady or not, and the said young lady may well argue that she ought to know the man who rode to the clergy- man’s with her, stood up beside her, made his responses in due form, and drove her back home. These arguments are what mystify the Knox case.—Now for one still more singular : About twenty years ago there lived in Central Michigan a curious old Benedick named Dodsworth.—At the age of fifty he marricd a girl of twenty, and when the burden of sixty years bore him down, his wife was only half his age. Dodsworth was noted for his pecuiiarities, but the cli- max came when he found himself on his dying bed. He was worth about $30,000, and he hadn't a blood felative living, so far as he knew. He wanted to leave it to his wife, as the pair had lived very hap- pily, byt yet he could not leave it with- out displaying some of his peculiarities in the provisions of his will. Some old men display a mean spirit when making their wills, and draft in a provision cutting the wife off with a shilling if she marries again. This old man wasn’t of that stamp. His young wife was good looking, viva- cious, fond of society, and it was folly to suppose she would mourn for her “late departed” any great length of time. Therefore, Mr. Dodsworth turned heel on the custom and said in his will: “In case my wife Celia does not take unto herself another husband within thir- teen months from date of my burial, all bequests otherwise made in this will are building and furnishing a home for old women.” Whether Celia was pleased or displeas- ed at this provision deponent saith not, but the old man had not been under the sod more than six months when the wid- ow was said to be looking out for another man. If it was singular for the dying Dodsworth to urge bis wife to marry again, it was still more singular that he should desire the ceremony to be perform- ed under the following circumstances, viz: “And it is incumbent on said Celia Dodsworth that in taking a husband the marriage ceremony shall be performed in the big barn on my farm on the H—road. It shall take place at 10 o'clock in the evening, on the main floor, without lights of any description, with all dvors shut, and a free invitation shall be extended to all. The clergyman shall stand in the stables and the bride and groom on the main floor, and the principal parties shall be dressed in black throughout.” The widow announced her intention to fully obey in spirit and letter, the will was probated, and the twelfth month had scarcely passed before she issued an invita- tion for the public to attend a wedding at the-big barn. Juxt who the groom was to be no one could positively assert, as the widow had becn keeping company with a widower, a bachelor and two young men, and as far as any outsider could judge, she loved one as well as the other. Being good looking and talented, and having a fortune behind her, it was not strange that she should have a number of suiters. She seemed to enter into the spirit of the affair with zest, as also did the minister ; and to further mystify the people in at- tendance the bride ev tered the barn alone at one door, the grovin alone at another, and no one knew that the minister had arrived until his voice was heard in the stables, There were at least 200 people present, and each one understood that even the striking of a match would break the will. Many jokes were passed, and confusion existed, but at length the ministur an- nounced that.all was ready. The cere- mony was gone through with, and at its conclusion, the affair having been a “pro- found success,” 4 rush was made for the king—a beautiful, wild, unprincipled i | ised to marry him, as men, and each one Wi widow's plump id. married to her. The f dacked two of them in a creek, but that didn’t decide the question. Just how it would haye terminated had not the widower been a man of nerve no one can tell, asthe other three had al- ready appealed to the law, when the wid- ower stepped in and took his place as hus- band and settled with the others for $2,000 each. , One of the young men, now over forty years old and having all the wife he wants (she weighs 230 pounds), is living in this city, and during an interview had with him to-day, he solemnly and earnestly assured your correspondent that he was legally married to the Widow Dodsworth that night in the big barn. Another of the parties lives in Clinton county, and he has time and again asserted that he is the woman’s trie and lawful husband, so help him God. The bachelor is dead, but were he alive and kicking he would renew his oft repeated protestations : “I married her, by gum! and, by gum, I ought to have her!” a “HOLD THE FORT!” Last Monday afternoon the eleven Bob- olink bdéys surrounded and caught an enormous, shaggy, strong-smelling, wick- ed-looking goat, of the masculine gender, turned him loose in Burdock’s garden, nailed up the gate, and then went home, and flattened their eleven little noses against the back windows to watch for coming events. Before his goatship had spent three minutes in that garden, he had managed to make himself perfectly at home, pulled down the glotbes line, and devoured two lace collars, 2 pair of ubdersleeves, and a striped stocking belonging to Mrs. B., avd was busily engaged in sampling one of Burdock’s shirts when the servant girl came rushing out with a basket of clothes to hang up. “The saints preserve us!” she exclaim- ed, coming to a fall halt, and gazing open- mouthed at the goat, who was calmly munching away at the shirt. “Shew! shew! shew, there!” screamed the girl, setting down her basket, taking her skirts in both hands, and shaking them violently towards the intrader. Then the goat, who, evidently consid- ered her movements in the light of a chal- lenge, suddenly dropped his wicked old head, and darted at her with the force of of an Erie locomotive, and just one min- ute later by the city hall clock, that girl had tumbled a backward summersault over the clothes basket, and was crawling away on her hands and knees in search of a place to die, accompanied by a goat, who butted her on the bustle ground every third second. It is probable he would have kept on butting her for the next two weeks if Mrs. Burdock who had been a witness of the unfortunate affair, had not armed her- self with the family poker and burried to the rescue. “Merciful goodness! Anne, do get up on your feet!” she exclaimed, aiming a murderous blow at the beast’s head, and missing it by a few of the shortest kind of inches. It was not repeated, owing to the goat's suddeuly risiug on his hind feet, waltzing towards her, and striking her in the small of the baek hard enough to loosen her finger nails and destroy her faith in a glorious immortality. When Mrs. B. returned to consciousness she crawled out from behind the grind- stone, where she had been tossed, and made for the house, stopping only once, when the goat came after and butted her, head-first in the grape arbor. Once inside the house, the door was locked, and the unfortunates sought the solitude of their own rooms, and such comfort as they could extract from rub- bing and growling, while the goat wan- dered around the garden like Satan in the book of Job, seeking what he could de- vour, and the eleven little Boblink boys fairly hugged themselves with pleasure over the performance. By the time Burdock returned home that evening and learned all the particu- lars from his arnica-soaked wife, the goat had eaten nearly all the weeks washing, half the grape vine, and one side out of the clothes basket. “Why in thunder didn’t you put him out, and not leave him there to destroy everything 1” he demanded angrily. “Because he wouldn’t go, and I wasn’t going to stay there and be killed, that’s| why !” answered his wife, excitedly. “Wouldn't fiddlesticks!” he exclaimed, making for the garden, followed by entire family bride; she was kissed by a hundred men, “Get out of there, you thief ” he shout- A7e kh).

Then Burdock waxed profane, and swore three-story oaths in such rapid suc- cession that his family held their breath, and a pious old lady, who lived in a house im the rear, shut up her windows, and sent out the cook to hunt for a policeman or a missionary. “Run for it, dad!” advised his son a moment later, when the goat’s attention seemed to be turned away. Burdock sprang to his feet and follow- ed his offspring’s suggestion. He was legging it in superb style, and the chances of his reaching the house seemed excellent when the fragrant brute suddenly clap- ped on more steam, gained rapidly, and darting between his legs and capsized him into the ash-box. ‘ His family dragged him inside, another candidate for rubbing, arnica, and a bless- ed haven of rest. The back of the house has been her- metically sealed and Burdock now prox poses extending an invitation to the mi- litia regiments of Boston to come down and practice marksmanship off the roof, promising to furnish a live goat for a target, and a silver-plated napkin ring as the first prize. The goat still holds the fort. ~~ From the Orphan’s Friend. PROF. KERR’S REPORT. GEOGRAPHICAL. We had determined to take issue with Prof. Kerr in regard to some innovations in. bis nomenclature. Bat while we thought the matter over, the printer came with the proof of an article which mentioned a visit to Jamestown, and we were aston- ished to see in print that we had actually been to Jerusalem! We immediately de- cided that the supposed innovations were only typographical errors. Let us -there- learn what we can from the report and hope for accuracy in a future edition. We are surprised to kuow that while nature has given us boundries on the East and West, our State-lines are unknown (ex- cept by dim tradition) on the North and South, and that the true lines sometimes vary as much as three degrees from the supposed lines. Prof. Kerr says: “It is highly probable that the only portion of the State boundry which is known, or as- certainable with any thing like accuracy, is the Eastern or Oceanic, and a small part of the Western.” Surely the Legis- lature ought to have appointed a commis- sion to ascertain our boundries, or to have elected a Geographer (as we suggested last week) to make an accurate map, so much needed by travelers, and for use in our elementary schools. Prof. Kerr’s map is by far more nearly accurate than any other. A good geographer could, by co- operation with intelligent citizens, with the State Geolggist, and with the U. S. Coast Survey, prepare a reasonably cor- rect map in two years. Then the geogra- phy of the State could be studied with in- terest and advantage. In the absence of such a map, we have, from all the sources of information at our command, prepared a list of our Rivers, Sounds, Lakes, and highest Mountains. We print them here with the hope of receiving suggestions and corrections for a complete and perfect list : NINETY RIVERS. paddéstr areas) - anlg td & err Tt ee ee Stump. FIFTEEN LAKES.

THE TEACHER. Mr. J. M. Lovejoy, the gifted and: en- thusiastie teacher who died last Tuesday at Raleigh, has done an important work for North Carolina, He was devoted to his profession, and like Paul ‘magnified his office.” He was a good scholar, a con- secrated man of one-work, and a true friend. In many sections of North Caro- lina and in others States, there are men filling important places who were taught by him, and who will sorrow sincerely when they learn the eccentric but con- scientious teacher and friend has taken up his abode “in the silent halls of death.” Mr. Lovejoy would have rather presid- ed over his school and been surround- ed by ‘‘my boys,” as he always proudly referred to his pupils, than to have been Governor of the Commonwealth. He looked upon his profession as one of great responsibility and honor. He was fully imbued with the sentiment of an English writer that it was a delightful task to rear the tender thought, to pour fresh in- struction over the mind, so breathe the enlivening spirit, and to fix the generous purpose in the glowing breast. Nor did he labor in vain. We know eminent and gifted men who stand in this hour greatly indebted to him for patient and wise in- struction, Mr. Lovejoy had a great deal of poetic ardor—had something quite akin to genius in its scintillations. He published a few brief poems during his life, aud he has left in manuscript a long patriotic poem called “Shadow,” in which the Confeder- ate war is treated. We never examined the manuscript, although invited to do so on several occasions. We hope it will be published. The faithful teacher has fallen before the great reaper—death. He should be buried in the new cemetery at Raleigh be- side the stream that winds through that romantic spot; for he expressed the wish for such a resting place in his poem entitled “A Day on the Hills :” . “And when I die place me beside the Brook, w flowers come up to see each Si ais delgado Great God the stars, the earthy, the waivers ae : tg * Wilt Thou not graot this humbie prayer of mine?’ N.

Until it is finally settled there can be no politics founded on inferior questions of administrative policy: It in- volves the fundamental right of the ‘peo- ple. It involves the elective principle. It involves the whole system of popular government. The people must’ sigtally condemn the great wrong which has been done to them. They must stripthis ex- ample of everything that can attract im- itators. They must refuse‘@ prosperous immunity to crime.

It had conquored, or bribed, or flattered, and won almost everybody into acquiescence. It appeared tobe in-| vineible.

THE RECENT MURDER IN BLADEN A correspondent of Little Sugar Loaf, Bladen county, gives us the particulars somewhat in detail of the late murder that occurred ubout three-quarters of a mile from the White Lake, pear that place. Owthe night of the 28th of June Mr. David P. Murphy (white), 32 years pf age, and a very respectable young man was mur- dered by some unknown assassin while on his way from Mr. Robert J. Smith’s to his own home, about one hundred yards from Mr. Smith’s house. Upon examination by fn Coroner’s jury it was found that the de- cpased came to his death from a gun load- ved with squirrel and duck shot, the con- tents entering his lungs and heart, over one hundred shot holes having been count- ed in his body. From the appearance of ,the-ground in the immediate yicinity of the murdered man, broken bushes, tramp- led grass, &c., together with ether indi- . €ations, it would appear that Murphy was énly a distance of about seven yards from the asssassin when he was shot, Only one track besides that of Murphy could be Aistinguished, which Mr. Smith says he made when he went to the scene of the murder upon hearing the re- port of the gun, said track having the ap- pearance of being made by a person going harriedly from Smith’s back door and in Yange with the road, that of Murphy leading from the front door te where he ~ was found dead. From these and other circumstances connected with the matter, suspicion fell upou Mr, R, J. Smith, aud, upon examination of his gun, it was dis- covered that one barrel had been newly discharged, while the other barrel bere the Appearance of having been loaded for some time, with those which had been fired upon the murdered man. The preliminary investigation com- mrenced on Monday, the 2nd inst., and concluded at 6 p. m. on Tuesday, the 3rd, resulting in the acquittal of Mr. Smith. The State was represented in this in- vestigation by Messrs. R. H. & C.C. Lyon, aya the defence by Messra. T. H. Sutton and N. A. Stedman, Jr., marked ability having been displayed by both sides in the copduct of the case.— Wilmington Star, - ———-~~4>_>o__.... Russia appears after all her efforts to have failed in her Asjatie campaign. Both at Kars aud Batoum she was foiled in al! attempts to capture those cities.

Right here the Wade-Blaine- Chandler folks are flabbergasted.

Dear Epitors:—Instead of writing you an account of the beginning of the “Normal,” I en- close extract from the Raleigh Qbserver, from which you can gather any facts you chose. Up to this time there have been abont 140 pupils enrolled, of whom over fifty are ladies. 1 hope yon will draw the attention of our Rowan Fe- male Teachers to this fact, as many were kept from coming, fearing to be the only ones here. Mr. C. W, Corriher from China Grove, and myself are the only teachers from Rowan thus far. Urge the others to follow even yet if pos- xible—’tis certainly the best school for teachers ever in North Carolina, Ideas and principles are daily presented by the Professors, new, in- teresting, instructive, and practical. No teach- er, uniess detained by absolute necessity, has a right to absent himself from this school. Duty to himself, tu his school, his community and his profession, calls upon him to immediately pack his trunk for Chapel Hill. ,Text books costing from eight to ten dollars are given him, free lectures are to be delivered by the State Geologist, Gov. Vance and others, in addition to the daily lectureson the programme. All the advantages of the University are open to all. Looking over the list of pupils, we find every College in the State represented, pupils of ai- most every age, from 14 to 60, and of every grade of advancement, from the grey-haired professor of 30 odd teaching vears down to the stripling who “expects to teach” in the dim fu- ture, Twenty eight counties have representa- tives—from Swaine to Pasquotank, from Yad- kin to Craven, from Rockingham to New Han- over. And yet, ’tis sad to think how many so much nearer, and needing so badly the insiruc- tion here proffered, are quietly staying at home. ms Yours r ally, G. R.M. UNIVETSITY NORMAL SCHOOL. (Corrgspaudent of the Raleigh Observer.) CuapeL Hitt, July 3, 1877. The University Normal School was in- augnrated this morning at 10 o'clock. Ninety-seven teachers, (64 gentlemen, and 33 ladies) were enrolled and gave their names. Present on the rostrum President Battle, Profs. Mangum and Grandy, of the University, Prof. Ladd, Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Dugger. Mr. Dugger was appointed secretary to the meeting which was opened by prayer by Prof. Mangum. Mr. Battle made a short address, ex- pressing his heartfelt pleasure at seeing the old University, its halls, libraries and laboratories at last on the track laid out 100 years ago by those who made the first move towards establishing the Institution. It was wonderful that the men of that day should have conceived ideas sv noble, so generous, so liberal, that we their descen- dants at a distance of a century can do no better than to follow them out. A school for all, where all shall receive the instruction best adapted to make them good citizens. What our late Legislarture proposed the University might have car- ried out to a considerable extent, by sim- ply employing another Professor. It would have increased the power of the Universi- ty. But we contemplate doing a greater work. We have provided men who have spent 20 to 40 years in normal instruction, who shall teach our teachers the best and newest methods of their noble profession. Teachers are not born teachers. They must be trained as other experts are. Theirs is a great work—involving great responsibility :—great will be their honor. We call the sculptor great who hews an all but breathing presentment of Wash- ington from a rude block of marble—how much greater his work who hews and shapes and fits for usefulness and immor- tality a rough, uneducated human soul. How glorious to bring a barren field under cultivation, and change stony nakedness to a waving and golden harvest. Those who might be detered from join- ing from fear of being conditioned to teach three years, are assured that no such con- dition exists. We have two experienced normal teachers now present, Little in- coveniences these strangers may expect ~but they should be met in proper spirit when @ great object is before us.

It is to.teach you be a teacher, you must fiz your mind on it, Ifa tree is crooked you must teach, it, to grow normally straight. Lessons in reading, in arithmetic in spelling and in writting will be given and you will have to get them like any good scholars of your own, Don't be afraid, Two things need never, trouble as, things we can help and things we cannot help. It is not my business to make speeches but, the President’s has touched some chords jn my mind. I trust the day is not far distant when the morning shall shine ou & Normal Professor in this noble Uni- versity of yours which like a great river needs the constant aid and impouring of smaller streams. No rill too tiny to be of importance to its prasperity. : We must at first expect, some trouble— you will be disappointed if you look for too much system in the beginning. I hope you have zeal, patience and charity—these three. All must resolve to make the best use possible of the six weeks before us. For myself, one object was to make ac- quaintance with this tine old College. 1 feel paid already for my journey hither. I aim astonished and delighted. Few peo- ple know one half of what is here. I have been through many, of the colleges of the United States ; I know of few better equip- ped for its work than this. I feel proud of the old North State. Now while here, make the most of every - thing. Don’t go away and say “I received nv attention;” if people don’t speak to you, you must speak ty them, for ceqgnaintances, *yvail yourselyes of every chance now be- fore you to guinand tolearn. Don’t beafraid to acknowledge ignorance, or to ask ques- tions. We must always be lcarners. I have been teaching 36 years and pever felt my own weakness and ignorance and need of Divine help as I do this evening. The time when we think we know most we kuow least. We will give you familiar talks now and then, school-room experiences, ete. You will have the simplest things set be- fore you—not science—(applause.) » At Staunton I felt like taking vacation. I would liked to go fishing, but duty called me to go down to North Carolina and teach all through the hot days of Jaly. I find a beautiful place to work in. I hope we shall all enjoy these noble grounds, and groves, and pure air. The school will be-open at 8 o'elock to- morrow morning. Meet punctually at roll call ; will open with prayer. Recita- tions in Arithmetic and Algebra, Geogra- phy and Map-drawing, Grammer; two lectures every day ; all to come prepared with blank-book and pencil to take notes. These lectures will give results of many years’ teaching and will be valuable. Afternoon’s sessions will have readiug and phonetics, and penmanship. Then vocal music. I cannot teach without singing. Be punctual and don’t forget your blank books. This address—of which ouly a synopsis is furnished—was a very taking one. Prof. Ladd is easy, frank, clear and very pleasant. The meeting broke up in good humor and good spirits. Some halted at the College well,—some went up to see the museum,—some strolled about the campus. It wasa very notable and agree- able occasion, and marks the date of anew era in the history of cdueation in North Carolina. The large majority of the teachers pres- ent were young people. Here and there only were “silver threads” noticed among the gentlemen. University or N. C., July 4, 1877. SECOND DAY. A fine attendance of earnest looking men and women this morning. Some twenty more Normalists have arrived since yosterday. Seasion opened in the University Chap- elat 8 o'clock. Roll ealled. Reading of Scripture and prayer by Prof. Redd. Short talk from Prof. Ladd. Cautioned the pupils agaiust talking in school—insisted much on their waking aequaiutance with each other. Programme for the day then announced. The school adjourned to the recitation room in the South building, which used to belong toold Dr. Phillips, the only reminders of whom that remain there are the two tall old clocks. Prof. Bird, from Lenoir, being present, was invited to take the school through a course of Rudimentary Arithmetic, which he did, much to the entertainment of -all. Some of the pupils evinced a disposition argufy upon certain points, but this was promptly suppressed by the Professors, argument being out of place in the school- room. A short recess was followed by a lecture in the chapel by Prof. Ladd on ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS IN TEACHING. Very first requisite is knowledge of hu- man natare. And to know others well you must first study yourself. “Know thyself” isthe old maxim. Begin at home. If we are ignorant of ourselves we cannot know others. Self-examination is nota pleasant word—we find too many fanlte— but it is absolutely necessary in order to understand buaman nature. A farmer succeeds by observation; it is not less necessary to a teacher, n. I want you to study temperament.

Iv addition to this warlike condition of affairs, it is stated that:the Secretary of State, Evarts, is now engaged in making out claims for raids upon Texas soil. The Washington Nation says that these claims will probably aggregate $100,000,000, and amoint.can be cancelled, and some other mode of adjustment will have to be resort- ed to. As to how the administration stands on the question, Mr. Blaine charges that the project is looked upon favorably with the view of adding territory to the United, States, This is hardly probable, and is emphatically denied by a promivent offi- cial of the State Department who has been questioned on the subject. In view of all these things, the devel- opments in this direction will be watched with interest. . ——_. aan wipes rey A LECTURE TO YOUNG MEN. Just Published, in a scaled Envelope. Price siz cents.

Wasttincton, July 7.—Some one who appears to have misunderstood or mis- represented the wishes of the Secretary of the Treasury, directed Gen. Smith, the | appointment clerk, to make out papers | for Gen. Henderson as collector of the 5th North Carolina District. They were pre- pared but a halt has been called. Nothing seems to stick in the tar State.

It is not to be presumed that the officers are always presumption would be very unjust to them and contrary to the trath; but there is scarcely a doubt that the mountaineer is sometimes killed where a few precaution- ary steps taken in advance»would have rendered the act unnecessary to a proper execution of the law, and would have prevented it. Of course, the officer must enforce the law, as he is sworn to do, and we, as conservators of the public peace, can demand that he shall discharge the disagreeable duty imposed npon him in a manner less caleulated to drive the monn- taineer to his gun to’kill or to be killed —to be killed in poiut of fact, for in such scrimmages he almost invariably gets the worst of it. The number of these little one-h still-houses away off among the moun- Georgia and the Carolinas must be im- mense, for often as many as ten, fifteen or twenty are broken up and destroyed during a single raid. And this work of | destruction is too often accompanied with loss of life among the ignorant, untamed mountaineers, who cannot be persuaded | that it is wrong to defraud the govern- | ment on a smull scale, while so many are defrauding it ona very large scale, the | Government standing idly by the while winking at the fraud. This press dispatch | came from Nashville the other day, and | you find just euch in the newspapers near- ly every week or two: “During the past week the revenue offi- cers raided on illicit distillers in Putnam, Jackson, White and others mountain counties.

There is perhaps a fond, lov- ing, thongh may be unlettered, woman, who ealls the moonshiner ‘“husband;” there are perhaps affectionate little chil- dred who call him “‘father;” and for the sake of the fond, loving wife, and — name else blame. “His young barbarians all at play,” if for nothing else, the minister of the law, whose duty it is to bring that moon- shiner to justice, should take every pre- cantion to execute their mission without making his life the forfeit of his violation | of law. The fear is that among those to| whom is assigned the work of ferreting out and breaking up these mischievous little still-houses of the mountain wilds, the life of of the moonshiner is held too interfere between the laws of Louisiana and the eriminals whom the laws pursue.

New York, July 7.—The New Orleans special says: “The indictment | of the late returning board has been set | on foot by the anti-Nicholls party and proceeds on the assumption that Nicholls is in some way bound to protect Wells, Anderson & Co. The idea is, therefore, | | to push the prosecution vigorously, make the accused as odious as possible, and then in case of an executive pardon, to impeach | the Goveruor.” The Tribune’s Washington dispatch say: ‘The indictment of the members of the | returning board is looked upon here as an | affair of great deal of political importance. The friends of the administration are highly indignant.” - ~~ COUNTER PETITION IN THE BANK OF STATESVILLE. One Thos. L. Patterson, a judgment creditor of the Bank of Statesville, has filed a petition in the District Court of the United States, asking to be allowed to intervene in the proceedings heretofore taken to have the Bank of Statesville ad- judged a brnkrupt and to move to set aside the adjudieation for defects both in substance and form of the petition, which invalidated it. The Judge made an order allowing the petitioner to intervene, directing Register Broadfield, before whom the case is pend- ing, to find and report the facta, and set- ting the case for hearing on rule day in August. The order directed a suspension of the proceedings before the register till the day of hearing of the matter. This will prevent the meeting of the creditors of the bank at Salisbury on the 16th inst., to elect au assignee as the printed notices Times’ from the —— have announced.

This is after the severest competition by the best makers, before one of the most competent juries ever assembled. They have also received the MEDAL, but, as is well known, medals of equal merit have been awarded all articles deemed worthy or recognition; so that it will be easy for many makers to advertise that they have received “first medals.” The differences in competing urticles, and their comparative excellence, are recognized in the Reports of the Judges, from which the following is an extract: ‘THE MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN etl 2 = of Baek Bons reed ane Pe. show FIRST ST RANK aN THE & ie SEVES UISITES OF 8 "OF HE CLASS: a got ess and equal distribution ‘of tone, scope of oxpregelen. resonance and singing qual- ity, freedom and quickness in action keys and bellows, with thorongh- nese. of wor manship, es with simplicity of action.” (Signed by all the Judges.)

THOMASVILLE, GA., June 11, 1877. B. B. Lewis, Esg.:—In reply to your letter of the 8th instant, I will state that my little farm comprises 15 acres and is within the corporate limits of Thomas- ville. Last year I left out five acres to rest if, wnd cultivated only ten acres with the following results, viz: ] gathered 228 bush- els of corn, 18 bushels of wheat, 267 bush- els of oats, 3 bales of cotton, average 438 Ibs. each. I also made potatoes, peas and kershaws and the fodder of which I took no account, as T used them as needed in my family. The account as published in the Macon Telegraph was literally true ex- cept the omission of 18 bushels of wheat, I bushels of oats potatoes, peas, kershaws and fodder. further add that the 267 were actually sold and delivered and ship- ped to Washington county for seed oats. 1 have a genuine warranted rust proof oat, that Lhave planted 12 years, without a rust head inallthattime. I have careful- ly selected my seed from them since 1871. At the late Fair I exhibited 12 cabbage, sowed Jan. 15, 1877, weighing, (aggregate) 204 lbs; 12 turnips, sowed Jan. 29, 1877, 1314 Ibs; 6 beets, sowed Feb. 5, 1877, 43 Ibs; 12 white California radishes, 15 to 22 inches long, sowed March 27, 1877; White Naples onions, 4 inches ia diameter, seed sowed Jan. 29, 1877. In 1875, I had 7 acres of oats, yielded and sold 525 bushels; 3 aeres of corn, yielded and sold 158 bush- els; Sacres of cotton, yielded 3 bales weighing 1560 lbs., also potatoes, peas, pumpkins, kershaws and fodder, &c., &c., not counted. This year, 1877, I have 5 acres corn, 5 acres outs, 14 acres in wheat, 34 acres in cotton. My oats have been gathered, and I will sell 400 bushels and keep seed for my next crop. What my corn will make the season alone will de- termine, the prospect now points toa good yield, say 300 to 350 bushels. Can’t say how much wheat, it is not threshed, but looked fine when it was cut. I will plant potatoes and peas this month ou my stubble land as usual. I find sowing peas, 2 bushels to the acre, on my stubble land, produces an im- mense vine crop, which turned under en- riches the land yearly, and I have been pursuing this plan with rotating the crops annually for many years, and I attribute much of my success to the pea as a reno- vater in the quantity of nitre they contain. I will state further, the annual crops of my little farm, since 1866, of which I have record, will average full up to the crops of 1875-76, while the cro}.s of 1868-69-70 all cotton, surpassed them largely, to wit: in 1868 I sold my cotton crop for cash, $1,- 721.44; in 1869, $1,614.02; in 1870, $1,- 316.41, I have taken good care of my farm and have enriched it annually by putting back more than the exhaustion; until it has reached a very high state of productive- ness—having made as much as 119 bush- els of corn on one acre ; I pursued the “‘in- tensive system” entirely, usually gather- as much from 15 acres as most farmers yet from 100 acres, what they term fair Jand and crops, and as much as the yield of 150 acres of poor land. I am glad to say the intensive system is getting more in vogue, and that Mr. E. L. Neil, of this county, profiting by my example, the year 1875, made 615 bushels of oats on five acres. My usual oat crop, is about 75 to 90 bushels per acre, and have never made less than 60 bushels to the acre. I have been trying to add my mite of experience to the success to be attained by patient, practical, improved culture in the garden and field; and by request, delivered two pddresses before the Georgia State Agri- _ cultural Society, at Stone Mountain, 1874, and Thomasville, 1875, which gives a full Metailed account of crops annually. You can obtain them by application to Mal- colm Johnston, Secretary, Atlanta Ga. My statements may seem oyerstrained to strangers, but my crops, on inspection, and my neighbors, will yerify all I have written. We are having good raing after nearlyone month drought. = Very truly, R. H, Harpaway, _ _P.

Butter is actually brought from France and sold by the New York dealers. This is becanse there is an act- pat up in an attractive shape for small consumers. When we know that one dairyman gets $1.15 a pound for his pro- ducts, another $1, and another 75 centa the year round, at his dairy door, it is easily seen that it will pay to bring but- ter across the ocean from France, if it is only good and shapely enough to suit the fastidions parchasers who will havesome- thing nice, whatever it may cost. All this better is made from choice ¢ows, choicely fed on clean sweet food; the milking is done in the cleanest manner. The milk is handled as carefully as though it were neetar, the eream is churn- ed with clock and thermometer, the but- ter is worked with skill, and is made up in shapely cakes, which do not require to be cut when brought to the table. Com- pare then, this cake—hard, golden yellow, sweet, fragraut and tempting to all the senses—with an unsightly chunk, which is ent of a greasy keg, and smells of old age and rancidity, and is made from ill- kept cream from cows filthily lodged and carelessly milked, and is churned anyhow, and the difference is amply accounted for. —N. Y. Tribune. gee e REMEDIES AGAINST WORMS AND INSECTS. The insect question is a very important one ; they destroy us if we don’t destroy them. The following modes I used as occasion demands and never fail : Melon and cucumber bugs like radish leaves better than any other kind. I sow a few radish seeds in each hill and never loose a plant. Earth-worms, cut worms, white-grubs, and, in fact, all soft bodied worms, are easily driven out by salt sown broadcast. You can do no harm with ten bushels to the acre, but a half bushel is ample. Dry slaked lime is also effectual. Potato bugs find their “anti” in Paris green, one ta- blespoonful flour, ten Paris Green; water, one bucket; mix and keep mixed, as the Paris green settles, apply spoonfuls with a watering pot. For cabbage-worms apply dry salt if the plunts are wet, or strong brine if they are dry. Turnip flies are destroyed by fine slack - ed lime, dusted over the field. But the whole tribe of depredators are wonderfully kept down by making friends with the birds. They are the natural enemies of all insects, worms, grubs, &c. In fighting vermin, we must not try to oppose nature, but to rather follow her plans, and assist her if she fails. ee GRASS AND CLOVER SEED TO THE ACRE. We have many inquiries as to the quan- tity of grass seeds to be sown on an acre, for meadow. Au infallible rule cannot be given for | all cases. Rich land requires less seed than poorland. Soils well pulverized and prepared require less than Jumpy hard soils. Thoroughly rolling and harrowing the land so as to cover all the seeds com- pletely, makes less seed necessary ; when well put in with a good drill less seed is required than on high and dryer land; but it is safe to say there is less danger of getting on too much than too little seed. As a general thing, the following qnan- tities will be about the right quantity, per acre : Red Ciover, alone, 12 to 16 lbs. Clover and Red-top, 8 to 10 Ibs. each. Clover and Timothy, 7 to9 “ : Alsike, om Luzern, 10 Ibs. of either. Orchard Grass, 20 to 25 Ibs, Blue Grass, 25 to 30 Iba. German Millet, 3 to 5 pecks, i Next to good feed, there is nothing more essential to a cow’a making good returns atthe pail than her bodily comfort, She needa a good bed to sleep on, good quarters to live in, and protection from extreme heat as well as cold, There is just aa much sense in arguing that it would be better to have her out of doors all winter, because she would then eat more hay than if she were comfortably honsed, so ax to claim that she must be compelled to stand inthe hot sun all summer, because, if she isgiven shelter, she may not keep feeding every moment; and shade in pastures is as es- sential as tight barns and dry stables. To be- gin with, a pasture which is so short that a cow cannot get all the feed she needs in half the time isn’t fit to keep a cow im, Cows which reach the pasture by six o’clock should be full by ten, and the time from thea until three or four in the afternoon can be much more profi- tably spent “taking ease under trees,” than grubbing about in the blistering sun, Miscellaneous. AN ALPHABET OF GOOD COUNSEL. Attend carefully to the details of your business. Be prompt in all things. Consider well, then decide positively. Dare to do right, fear to do wrong. Endure your trials patiently. Fight life’s battle bravely, manfully. Go not into the society of the vicious. Hold your moral integrity sacred. Injure not another’s reputation or bus- iness. Join hands only with the virtuous. Keep your mind from evil thoughts. Lie not for any consideration. Make few acquaintances. Never try to appear what you are not. Observe the Sabbath day. Pay your honest debts promptly. Question not the veracity of a friend. Respect the counsels of your parents. Sacrifice money rather than principle. ‘Touch not, taste vot, handle not intoxi- cating drinks. Use your leisure time for improvement. Venture not upon the threshold of sin.

It is needless to state that he soon diséovered their value. When first discovered they could be found on the surface, and some of the best dia- monds found were picked up on the sur- fuce. They are now mined in.this manner: Imagine, if you please, a large hole coy- ering an area of twenty or thirty square acres, two handred feet deep, from which every particle of the dirt taken out has been sifted and the diamonds ‘taken out. At a depth of one handred feet there was struck a vein of hard clay soil, which is estimated to be five hundred feet thick. The soil is lifted out in baskets by meays of pulleys and ropes and soaked in water uutil soft, when it is worked to the con- sistency of cream, and then strained through fine seives, thus separating the diamonds from the *‘mash.” Last year a scientific gentlman discov- ered that the clay thus sifted made excel- lent brick when pressed and barned,and a stock company was organized to work it. Ihave a specimen brick in my pos- session, and it is studded in several places with minute diamonds that passed through the seive. - me THE THIN PARTITION. When we walk near powerful machinery we know that one misstep and those mighty engines will tear us to ribbins with their flying wheels, or grind us to powder in their ponderous jaws. Sowhen we are thundering across the land ina railroad carriage, and there is nothing but an inch of iron flange to bold us on the line. So when we are in a ship, and there is nothing but the thickness of a plank between us and eternity. We imagine, then, that we see how close we are to the edge of the precipice. But we do not sec it. Whether on the sea or on the land, the partition that divides us from eternity is something less than the oak plank, or an iuch flange ; the machin- ery of life and death is within us. The tissues that hold the beating powers in their places are often not thicker thav a sheet of paper; and if that thin parti- tion should rupture, it would be the same as if acannon ball had struek us. Death is inseparably bound up with life in the very structure of our bodies. Strag- gle as we would to widen the space, no wan can, at any time go further from | death than the thickness of a sheet of pa- per. ae Sad and Distressing Occurrence. A very sad case of accidental drowing occurred yesterday. Mr..H. J. Mints, of this city, who lost his wife by death about a week ago, has been engaged for some time on some government work at Big Is- land, about nine or ten miles below Wil- mington, and yesterday, feeling lonely on account of his recent loss, he took his lit- tle son, Jumes Henry, between 6 and 7 | years of age, with him om the boat, be- | low wou'd be some comfort to him. The steamer Emma Dunn, upon which he is at work, is aground on the shoals at Big Is- land, and he had a yawl attached to the side of the steamer next to the river, in which his little boy was fishing for crabs, when, about 12 o’clock, he (Mr. M.) decid- ed to go on the steamer and take a shave, preparatory to going over to the mainland to stroll about, gather whortlberries, &c. He carried out his intentions, and was about finishing his shave when he heard his child call him, in a few moments after of a pamphlet, Sek at palioned ete of John Nichols, of this city, Wonderful Revelation of Heaven by an | ¥ entitled ‘ Angel sent from God to Luzene Chipman.” The authoress, Luzene Chipman, is a Quaker lady, living in the county of Guil- ford, aud, we are told, is highly respected by all who know her as a pious, christian woman of more than ordinary intelligence. She says in the preface, that she publish- es the book because she was commanded by the Angel to “take this and publish it tothe world for the sake of the Lord Jesus.” Whether in or out of the flesh, as Saint Paul says, we cannot tell, but it is cer- tain she professes to have seen some won- derful things, aud she tells them in a manner to conviuce the reader that she, at least, is convinced of the truth of the varration. We believe the book-sellers of the city have the pamphiet for sale.—Ral. News. meet Pp Pee A TOUCHING WAR INCIDENT. [Raleigh News.] In one of the hotly-contested fights in Virginia, during the war, a Federal officer fell wounded in front of the Confederate breastworks. While lying there wounded and crying piteously for water, a Confed- erate soldier, (James Moore, of Burke county, N. C.,) declared his iutention of supplying him with drink. The bullets were flying thick from both sides, and Moore’s frieuds endeavored to dissuade him from such a hazardous enterprise. Despite remonstrance and danger, how- ever, Moore leaped: the breastwork, can- teen in hand, reached his wounded enemy, und gave him drink. The federal, under a sense of gratitude for the timely service, took out his gold watch and offered it to his benefactor, but it was refused. The officer then asked the name of the man who -had braved such dangor to succor him ; the name was given, and Moore re- turned unhurt to his position behind the embankment. They saw nothing more of each other. Moore was subsequently wounded and lost a limb in one of the engagements in Virginia, and returned to his home in Burke county. <A few days ago he receiv- ed a communication from the Federal soldier to whom he had given the “cup of cold water” on the occasion alluded to, announcing that he had settled on him the sum of ten thousand dollars, to be paid in four equal annual installments of twenty-five hundred dollars each. Inves- gation has established the fact that there is no mistake or deception in the matter. ~_>-—______ Anger is blood, poured and perplexed into a footh; but malice is the wisdom of our wrath. ——————————————— PUBLISHED WEEKLY—J.

Isup- pose she died.” * He was very handsome, this Mark Chet- wyod, with a dark haughty face, Spanishe eyes, and wavy blue black hair. He and- Edith were well matched in beauty as well as pride, for Edith was very beautiful. People called her haughty and cold, proud and unapproachable, but I who knew-her, knew that under her proud manner there lay concealed a warm and generous heart, a heart that would love passionately, if it ever loved at all. Bnt she had promised to marry Mark Chetwynd, and love had not came to her. About two months after Edith’s engage- ment to Mark, Leslie Gray came to live with. us. ° Her father and I were cousins, and af- tera life of wandering Bohemianism, he left Leslie alone in the world. I offerea totake her to my home, an offer glad- ly accepted. It was a fair June evening, that Leslie came, and Edith and I waited for her on the piazza. = | I went down the path to meet her.

She was very fragile, and her pale, yellow hair fallin® loose over her shoulders, added to-her ehildish appear- ance.

The team of mules, with thigs and bells, are now driven in, and the bull is drawn ov a low hurdle around the ring, amid the shouts of the audience. In one afternoon six or eight bulls are killed in this way. Frequently a picador or a matador will be gored and killed. He is then borne off to the priest, who has a room adjoining the ring, and there, for- gotten by the noisy crowd, his soul is pre- pared for heaven, and he passes from the bull-fight to paradise.

While eagerly listening to catch the sonnd again, she was startled by the violent | barking of a dog, apparently iu a room in | the front of the house immediately . be- | neath her bedchamber. This alarmed her still more, as they had no dog of their own. She immediately rose, and going to her | maid's room, awoke her, and they went down together. They first péeped into the room where they had heard the dog. It was invonlight, at least partially so, for the night was cloudy; still it was light enough to distinguish objects, although but faintly. They saw au immense rough dog scratching and gnawing furiously at ' the door leading into thekitchen whence she thought the noise she first heard had proceeded. | She requested the servant to open the door which the dog was attacking 80 vio- lently. The girl was a determined and resolute creature, devoid of fear, and she did so without hesitation ; when the dog rushed in, and the widow saw through the open door two men at the kitchen window, which was open. The men instantly re- treated, and the dog leaped through the window after them. A violent svuftle e.- sued, and it wasevident, from the occasion - al tones of the noble animal, that he to.ne- times had the worst of ‘it. | ‘The noise of the contest, however, grad- ually receded, till Mrs. M—— could hear ouly now and then a faint and indistinet bark. The robbers, or perhaps murder- ers, had taken out a pane of glass, which had enabled them to undo the fastening of the window, when, but for the dog, they would doubtless have accomplished their pcrpose. ‘The mistress and inaid gota light, and secured the window as well as they could. ‘They then dressed themselves, for to think of sleeping any more was out of the question.

They imme- diately opened it, when he came in wag- xing his tail, aud fawning upon each of them in turn, to be patted and praised for his prowess. He then stretched his huge bulk, at full length, beside the warm stove, closed Lis eyes and went to sleep. The next morning they gave him a break- fast any dog might have envied; after which nothing could indace him to prolong his visit. He stood whining impatiently at the door till it was opened, when he gullopped off in a great hurry, and they never saw him afterwards. —___~..——————_—_ What Pitkin Publicly Promu'gates About Packard and Pitkin.

As it was I pnrsued the ; matter no further than a theoretic sugges- tion with drawings and explanations of the agencies and machinery by which telegraphic communications at any’ dis- tance could ve made. I was regarded as very extravagant when I contended that these wires could be used across the At- lantic, and prophesied that the day would come when they would encircle the globe. I believed this and so contended with my ‘incredulous companions. This is all that I am entitled to any credit ‘for. It was some three or four years before Mr. Morse’s invention. Mr. Morse is entitled to the honor of having put the invention into practice, which was certainly more important to the world than the mere intellectual con- ception. During the year 1834~-’5-’6-7, electri- cians in England, France-and Germany made more or less progress in this ipven- tion. It proved, hewever, in Morse’s hauds more vital and successfal than in the hands of any one else, and hence he was held by the world as the original in- ventor. I unite with all the world in ae- cording to Prof. Morse the honor justly due to the triumphs of genius. Whether or not Prof. Morse ever: de- rived any benefit from my labors is only matter of suspicion with me. The cir- cumstances were these: A gentleman by the name of Page was commissioner of patents at Washingtou. He had acquired considerable reputation as an electrician. I knew him by reputation as an electri- cian but was ignorant of the fact that he was connected wit the patent offive. In 1333 when this conception of an electric telegraph and the mauner of working it was sufficiently perfected in my owo mind to justify its revelation to men of science I wrote to Mr. Page on the subject.

I then let the matter drop and directed my attention to my studies, only occasionally renewing my suggestions among my friends. ; Some four years after my communica- tion to Page 1 was one day rather star- tled by seeing a netice in a newspaper stating that a partnership had been form- ed by Page, Smith, Amos Kendal and Morse to patent and put in operation Morse’s invention. I was still more sur- prised to learn that Page, being examiner of patents, was prohibited by law from taking a patent ia his own name. I learn- ed also that Page was the son-in-law of Amos Kendal, and that there was some other cousiderations that gave cobesion to said partnership. I immediately sat down and wrote to Page, charging him with having used my suggestions for his own benefit and at the same time I pub- lished a communication in the Washington Clobe, making the same charge publicly. Mr. Page answered my publication ad- mitting the receipt of my suggestions and drawings and that he never avewered my inquiries. His exense was that at that time he had no faith in the project and thought it unnecessary to answer me. The files of the Globe of that day will from show this. Whether Morse, a partner of Page, ever profited by my suggestions to Page is only a matter of suspicion with me. I breast. The other snatched at the lilly, j and the women commenced to fight. A man in a check suit iuterferred, and tried to separate them. People gathered around, a tight ensued and several shots were fired. The man with the check suit being badly handled, rushed into an adjoining store, where he was followed. Several parties endeavored to protect him, anda further row took place, during which the man, whose name is not known, was shot three times in the temple and killed in stantly. The police have just marched down to disperse the crowd. 3 P. M.—The whole volunteer force including those that filled the batteries have been ordered out. The excitement is increasing. It is rumored that the Catholic union men are. being supplied with arms and ball cartridges. 3:40 P. M.--The city is full of roughs preambulating the streets. Numbers of them are strangers. ‘“The Quebec Coves” probably furnished their quota. W ASHINGTON, July 12.—The latest re- ports from Montreal show no further dis- turbances.

[By telegraph to the News and Courier.] New York, Juné 12.—Governor Tilden ‘ made a brief speech at the reception of the Manhattan Club to-night. After’al- ludivg to the departure of Goversor Hen- dricks to-morrow, with his best wishes for a prosperous voyage and safe return, he said: “Everybody knows that after the recent election the men who were elected by the people President and Vice- President of the United States were ‘counted out,’ and men who were not eleeted ‘counted in’ and seated.’ 1 dis- claim any thought of the personal wrong involved in this transaction. Not by any act or word of nine shall that be dwarfed or degraded into a personal grievance, which is, in truth, the greatest wrong that has stained our national annals. To every man of the four and a quarter mil- lions who were defrauded of the fruits of their clective franchise, it is as great a Wrong as it is to me. ~And ne less to every man of the minority will the ulti- mate consequences extend. Evils in gov- ernment grow by success and impunity, They do not arrest their own progress. They can never be limited except by ex- ternal forces. If the men in possession of the government can in one instance adverse decision at the elections, such an example will be imitated. Temptation exists always. Devices, to give the color of law, and false pretences on whieh to found fraudulent decisions, will not be wanting. The wrong will grow into a history, changes iv the succession of gov- ernments have usually been the result of our pride that we had established a mote of peaceful change to be worked out by in its substance as well as form, is to be maintained? This is the qnestion of questions. Until it is finally settled there can be no polities founded on inferior questions of administrative policy. It in- volves the fundamental right of the peo- ple. It involves the elective ‘principle It involves the whole system of popnlar government. The people must signally condemn the great wrong which has been done to them. They must strip this ex- ample of everything that can attract im- itators. They must refuse a prosperous immunity to crime. This is pot all. The people will not be able to trust the an- thors or beneficiaries of the wreng to de- demn the wrong shall have the power, they must devise the measure which shall render a repetition of the wrong forever impossible. If my voice could reach throughout onr country and be heard in its remotest hamlet, I would say: “Be of good cheer, the Republic will live, the institutions of our fathers are not to €x- pire in shame; the sovereignty of the peo- ple shall be reseued from this peril and re-established.” Successful w never appears so triumphant as on the very eve of its fall.

Abouition Not ImpractTicaBLE— ANOTHER ABLE LETTER FROM Con- GRESSMAN ROBBINS. STATESVILLE, N. C., July 11, 1877. To the Editor of the News: Sir: Ihave read with much interest the letter of my colleague, Col. Waddell, in which he agrees with me as to the de- sirability of ybolishing the Interval Rev- enue system but: peints out some of the obstacles in thé way to this reform, hand- ling the subject With his usual ability and accuracy of jnformation, It is perfectly true that there ure difficulties to be over- come in the accamplishment of this ob- ject, and mach mare is required than a mere blind resolve to repeal the law re- gardiess of consequences. The public credit must be preserved, and the neces- sary expenses of the government are to |: be met, Adequate provision for both of these purposes must of course be embraced in any statesmanlike proposition tu abol- ish the Interna] Revenue system. When Napoléon’s engineers reported to him that to cross the Alps would be an undertaking incredibly toilsome and dif- ficult, he replied; “I did not send you to learn that—I knew that before, But can it be done?" And when they answered that it wag just possible it might be, he said, “Then go at it.” To abolish the Interna} Revenue system may not be easy; it may require profound wisdom iu our law-niakers and real administrative ability in the exepative; byt jig my opin- ion it is not impossible and should be un- dertaken. oh Let us look at a few figures. The amount of maney raised from Internal Reveune du the fiscal year just end- ed on Juno ult;, was ion over $118,000,000. The annual expenses of the system itaelf gre aver $6,000,000. To do without it, then, we should have to adopt some plan by which the $112,000,- net, realized. in this way might be up by etther an increase of income from f sources or a decrease in the current disbursewents of the government, Southern district | be studied the mg will deny that in law a high duty is imposed and only legitimate purpose of producing pose of checking the importation of Pacharticlea, uo hs ti "give the" Atsetiticn manafacturer exclusive coutrol of the| market here. In these cases thé Treasury | turing States are rolling in wealth drawn | 3 aoe x > ¥ important articles not for the sole facturers? I fair competition after we have paid them bonuses for fifty years until the manafac- from the others. Let our tariff, therefore, be now remodeled so as to bring in the most revenue possible witbout favor to or op- of any class. I am confident if this were done, a larger income-would ac- erue to the ry througli this channel, and the general burden upon the people not be increased. Leaving aside all speculation theories, one fact stands eut. In 1872, only five years ago, the tariff brought us an income sixteen million dollars. Why may it not be made to do so again? But suppose we shape it so it will return us but - 000,000 annually—or $70,000,000 more than the last year. This would leave us about $42,000,009 still short of the $112,- 000,000 taken away by abolishing the Internal Revenue. How is this deficit to be made up? I answer by ceasing to pay off the principal of the Public Debt so rapidly, by reducing the military estab- lishment, and by a careful retrenchment of expenses inthe civil service. There was paid last year about $35,- 000,000 of the principle of the public debt. I have not the exact official figures before me. This generation ought not to attempt to bear the burden of making large pay- ments on the principal of that debt. It is enough for us to fund it at lower rates of interest, as is being dove, ard to keep the interest paid. When all enterprise languishes among us for want of capital, and money in most parts of the country bears an exorbitant rate of interest, what sort of financierivug is that which drags taxes out of an impoverished people to pay the foreign creditor a debt which he will be glad to fund at fonr per cent. and wait for us to pay when we please—the longer the better for him, if we make the debt secure and pay him the interest? Fifty years henee, with a hundred millions of population, and a country all settled and teeming with wealth, we can pay, without feeling it, this debt whose rapid payment would crash us now. By adopt- ing this plan we may save (say) thirty millions a year now being unnecessarily and unwisely paid on the public debt. The military establishment now ccsts | ns $38,000,000 annually, in reund nem-,| bers. Such un expense is needless. The army might be reduced one-half, and then be sufficient for garrisoning the forts and guarding the fronticr against a dying handful of savages or an occasional petty raid of cattle-stealing greasers, Thank God, peace has come ouce more between the sections and law has supplanted the bayonet in the States. I think it not un- reasonble to say that $15,000,000 a year might be saved from the present cost of the military establishment without detri- ment to any interest. Here then we have $30,000,000 a year by reduced payments on the principal of our debt; $15,000,000 saved in the anvual expense of the army; and $70,000,000 in- crease of receipts from the duty on im- ports, which, as shown above, is still sev- eral millions less than the tariff realized tive years ago without any grievous com- plaints from the country. You will see that the aggregate of these three is more than enough to make good the deficit that would be caused by abandoning the cen- tralizing, corrupting, and oppressive sys- tem of Internal Revenue. Nothing has been said in detail about the immense amount that may be saved by a thorough retrenchment of expend- itures in almost every department of the public service, and I have not time for this now. I have merely jotted down the foregoing points in a great deal of haste to show that the idea of abolishing the Internal Revenue system is vot at all im- practicable if our statesmen would set about it in good earnest, as I hope they will when the Conservative-Democratic party mounts the quarter-deck.

But these views cannot now be strictly carried out, and I shall be glad to see the present tariff system regulated | exclusively, as far as possible, so as to raise the necessary revenue. When that is done sufficient “incidental protection” will be given to all manufacturing indus- tries. On the whole I apprehend there is little difference in the views entertained by Major Robblas and myself upon the ques- tions embraced in his letter. They are doubtless entertained by a large majority of the people of the State. Indeed, I sus- pect that there are very few, outside the circle of office-holders, who dissent from them.

Deputy Marshal Hodges, of the sixth district, some fonr months ago came into Forayth connty and seized three stills belonging to Wm. Griffith, without any charges of a violation of the revenue laws except that they were on the furnace. These stills were left with B. F. Jones, in | Yadkin county. This seizure was not re- ported to the collector of either the fifth | or sixth districts. Griffith applied to Jones for his stills and was told that they had been stolen, but not being satisfied with this answer, he went toa magistrate and took out a search warrant and found two of his stills in Jones’ distillery—the other we learn was found in possession of another person. There is a criminal abuse of authority in this transaction, and a deliberate attempt to rob a citizen of this county of his property by an officer of the of his office. eS IMPORTANT TO CLERKS OF THE SUPERIOR COURTS.

You will * | be content with a very brief answer. | Before your letter reached me, I had | | seen, at the Sparkling Catawba Springs a | copy of the News, containing Major Rob- bins’ views upon that vexatious question. If I understand him, he favors the aboli- tion of the entire system, and desires that | all revenues shall be raised by a tax on imports, so adjusted that revenue and not protection, shall be consulted. He, no doubt, believes as I do, that this plan will afford all the fostering care which the manufacturing interests should require at the hands of the Federal government, and that other discriminations work injustice to all other occupations. Without at- | tempting to diseuas the matter, I have no hesitation in saying, that if I rightly un- derstand him, there ia vo disagreement on that part of the subject. . * * * . . * . I shall be ready to join Major Robbins in any effort to give relief to the tax-bur- dened people of the State either by alter- ing or abolishing the Internal Revenue laws, readjusting the details of an iniqui- tous tariff, which taxes the many for the benefit of the few, or by any other means consistent with honesty and good faitb. It is my wish that the manufacturing in- dustries of the country shall prosper; but I do not desire it to be at the expense of all other interests. These interests shpuld now be able, after so many years of pro- tecting kindness on the part of the gov- ernment, to-stand without further sup- port in. the way of burdens upon the con- sumers of their products. Common decen- ey demands that they ask vo more direct aid—that they call for no further taxation of others for their exclusive benefit, bat that they shall be ready with all classes to bear with them equally the burdens of supporting the government. The true doctrine in my opinion is set forth in the phrase: “Buy where you can buy the cheapest, and sell where you can get the best prices.” This doctrine, every man will practice if he is let alone—even the protectiouists themselves—and what is true in the ma ment of private affairs, eannot be ruinens fn nt.

HIS HONOR STILL ON INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. When His Honor Judge Cloud held court here, he instructed the grand jury to order the county commissioners to lay a cheap carpet down in the aisles of the court room. His Honor it is said, objects to noises—both those made with the feet and those made with the mouth, but more especially to suspiration—and it was with a view to prevent noise in the court that the order was given. His Honor stated that if the commissioners declined to pay for the bagging, he would do so himself. It is stated that at Concord a few days ago, while making a charge to the grand jury, and giving instructions in relation to the same thing, His Honor told what he had said in *‘Mr. Barringer’s county,” and stated that the bill for the carpet had been sent to him and be supposed he'd have to pay for it, and somebody sitting near said he snppésed so too.—Char.

They have also received the MEDAL, but, been awarded all articles deemed worthy o1 recognition; so that it will be easy for many makers to advertise that they have received “first medals,” The differences in competing urticler, and their comparative excellence, are recognized in the Reports of the Judges, fron: which the following is an extract: . “THE MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO,’s exhibit of Reed Organs and Har- moniums shows dastrom nts of the FIRST RANK IN THE SEVERAL RE- a OF INSTRUMENTS OF HE CLASS: viz.: Smoothness and equal distribution of tone, scope of expression, resonance and singing qual- ity, freedom and quickness. in action of. keys and..bellows, with. thorough. ness of wor maaship, combined with simplicity of action.” © (Signed by all the Judges.) ‘The Masog, and: Ham- lin Organs az’ thus declared to rank firat, not in one or two respecta only, but in the SEV- EKXAL REQUISITES of such instruments, and they are the ONLY ones. assigned this rank. This triumph was not uuexpected, for the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organa have uniformly been awarded the highest: honors in competitions in America, there having been scarcely six exceptions in hundreds ot competitions. They were awarded highest honors and FIRST MEDALS Paris 1867; Vienna 73 Santiago “75; PHILADELPHIA, 1876; and have thus been awarded highest honors at Every World’s Exposition at which they have been exhibited; being the ONLY AMERICAN ORGANS which have ever obtained ANY AWARD eompetition with best European makers, or ne af World's exposition / : with improvements, exhibited at Prices to consistent with, best ae, rons sold * cash = warranted to gise entire sattafeatlon to er REFUNDFD.

A CLERGYMAN’S JOKE. A clergyman, a widower, residing in one of our Vermont rural towns, recently created a first-class sensation in his house- hold, which consisted of several grown- up daughters. The reverend gentleman was absent from home for a number of days, visiting in ang ljcising town. The daughters receiyed a letter from their father which stated he had ‘married a widow with six sprightly children,” and that he might be expected home at a car- tain time. The effect of that news was a great shock to the happyefamily. The girls, noted for their meekne’s and amia- ble temperaments, scemed another set of beings; there was weeping and wailing and tearing of hair, and all manner of naughty things said. The tidy home was neglected, and when the day of arrival came the house was anything but invit- jag. At last the Rev. Mr.—— came, but he was alone. He greeted his danghters as usual, and as he viewed the neglected parlors there was a merry twinkle in his eye. The daughters were nervous and evidently anxious, At Jast the eldest mustered courage, and asked : “Where is mother ?” {In Heaven,” said:‘the good man. “But where is the widow with six children, which you wrote you had mar- ried ?” “Why, I married her to another man, my dears.” It js said to have been amusing to see those seven girls set things to rights. OH, GEORGE! WHAT A DAMSEL! She was young and fuir, anda tear glis- tened in her eye as she laid her beautiful auburn head on his shoulder and exclainm- ed: “Oh, George! I think if [ fondd you did not love me I should die,” ‘My dar- ling,” he answered, passing his hand gently round her diwpled chin, “I will always love you. Do you think I would marry you if I did pot feel sure of it? In @ few days at ths altar I shal) vow to love you albmy live, aud I will keep my vow,” A lovély kindof beantiful happiness play- ed for a moment like suushiue on her lips, and then she whispered ; ‘George, I like to hear you talk like that; you have been ao good to me.—You have given me a diamond locket and a gold watch aud chain, and rings that an angel dog of at least one dollar.

In love as in everything else, trath is the strongest of all things, and frankness is but another name for truth. Then always be frank. Avoid misunderstandiugs; give no reason or océasion for them. They are more easily shunned than cured; they leave scars upon the heart, You are leas likely to be deceived yourself when you never deceive others. Frankness is like the light ofa clear sky in which everything may be plaiuly perceived. ee PROVERBS FOR LOVERS. “The wicked flee when no man pur- sneth,” but the honest lover is bold asa lion. , “Hope defered maketh the heart sick,” isa proverb sadly realized by the daugh- ters of our land. “Better isa dry morsal and quietness therewith,” than a long list of lovers that don’t mean business. “A wise son maketh a glad futher” and & prompt lover causeth his prospective mother-in-law to laugh. “Folly is a joy that ia destitute of wis- dom,” but a delinguent lover canseth suf- fering in the house of his sweetheart. gold iu pictures of silver.” So it appear- eth to the lady that is to be your mother- in-law. attentive lover that poppeth not the ques tion. , suit. “Judgments are prepared for scorners, stripes fur the backs of fuols,” and ever- lusting punishment for him who courteth anil wias the affections of a Mary Jane, and then tells her if she wants to marry she must look somewhere else; that he can’t support her on account of the hard times. ne GRADATIONS OF GUILT.

One of the greatest trials of the news- paper profession is that .its members are compelled to see more of the shams of the world than any other profession. ‘Through every newspaper office, day after day, go all the weaknesses of the world; all the vanities that want to be pnffed; all the. revenges that want to be reaped; all the wistakes that want to be corre ted; all the dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent; all the meanness taat wants to get its wares noticed gratis in the editori- al columns in order to save the tax of the advertising columns; all the men who want to be set right who were never right; all the cracked brained philosophers with stories as long as thei: hair, and as gloomy as their finger-nails in mourning because bereft of soap—all the bores who come to talk tive minutes, but talk tive hours.

Now, if the population of the State be 1,070,1-0 souls, out people pay $3,500,960 tor liquor, about $1,000,000 for education, and for their religion $269,840; that is, they think eight times as much of whisky as they do of Christian faith. This is a most humiliating confession for us to make, and yet what people give their money for they certainly appreciate. Let us now compare the cost of spirituous li- quors with some of the great farming in- terests of the State. There are 200,000 bales of cotton grown in North Carolina annually. These bales will average 400 pounds; at 10 cents per pound this cotton will bring $8,000,000--all the cotton grown in the the State won't pay her liquor bill by $560,960. The wheat crop of the State amounts to 2,254,000 bushels. At two dollars a bushel all the wheat of the State won't pay for but half of our liquor bill. The corn crop, which is 18,454,641 bushels, at sixty cents per bushel, will re- alize but one-third more than is expended each year for that which impoverishes the State, increases her taxes and de- grades her people.— Raleigh Observer.

But the gentleman only looked “‘on the outside appearance,” and after glancing from one to the other, he decided on the taller of the two boys and the one with the brighter face. So, greatly to Austin’s delight, he was called up to the master’s desk, and the gentleman then and there made him the offer of a situation in his office, an offer which Austin joyfully accepted, provided his mother approved of his doing so. Though the schoo)master knew that Austin was far from being a steady boy, yet he thought this piece of good fortune night be the means of making him so; wd, not wishing to stand in the boy’s light, he said nothing about his” idleness and inattention, but he wished the choice had fallen upon Alan. Mrs. Compton was but too pleased to give her consent, and, with great pleasure she talked to Mrs. Burne of Austin’s fu- ture prospects. “Ifa youth will attend to these three their regard for one another is still as nigh impossible to find in the enthusiast the things,” said Mrs. Compton, placing her hand caressingly on her son’s shoulders, “steadiness, honesty, and perseverance, he will, by God’s help, do well when he has the chances that my boy has.” And a happy smile played over her face | verance, rose step by step till at last he! problem that minute attention to the small as she listened, in all faith, to his well- sounding intentions of doing great won- ment where he first begged that a trial ly to those moving constantly and with ders.

But the days passed, and no one solic- ited his services, and he saw but little enough now, is still a poor man; he just | fect grows = ie ar chance of realizing his wish. He could hear of nothing in his native village, and the few advertisements that less youth has never come in his path among whom our lot is cast something in he had answered had brought him no again; and though thankful that well is | which we can take nearer to the fulfilment of his desires. But Alan was @ boy of resolution, and to “will” was to “de” with him; so one morning he set out with the determination 7oL. VIII.—THIRD SERIES in life, with every prospect of doing well; and had they both attended to the good advice that was given them on en their new vocation, it would have been well for them. But bad habits cling to us as ivy to a wall; and the idle, inattentive bey found a difficulty in settling down into a dili- gent business youth. The novelty of his new life soon wore off, and, as of yore, he began to feel every- thing a trouble. The getting up in the morning was his chief difficulty—to lie in bed to the last ment was Austin’s plan; then all his du- ties were perfurmed hurriedly, and it was nothing but a scramble and commotion till he had rushed to his train, which, however, he generally managed to lose. Thus matters went on, till his employ- ers woald put up with his anpanctuality no longer; so, at the time that Alan Burne was promoted to his first rise, Austin Compton received his dismissal. As his mother was not very well off, he had to bear all the inconvenience of strait- ened cireumstances; and the various straits which the youth was put to, brought him to realize the advantages of the situation which he had allowed to slip away from him. Now that he had become practically ac- quainted with the many hardships that idleness brings, he resolved that if ever a good situation came in his way again, he would discard his old habits and do his best to keep it. But it was along time before Austin obtained employment again—good situa- tions are not to be found at every street corner; and so he found. But at last an- other office opened its doors to him, and ; once more he had the same means of earn- , ing a livelihood. | The years have rolled on, and the two ‘friends are now middle aged men, but | strong as when they were lads at school. Then they were both poor, with the world | before them to make their way, but now their circumstances are different.

Strengthened and cheered, he wended his steps toward the city, but on arriving | there, he wandered on, not knowing which way to turn or whither to go, and the bustle and noise somewhat confused him. At length, turning into Princes Street, he ecdme to a large business looking place; y be had passed many such, but their im- posing appearance had deterred him from | eatering them. Halting at the door, his courage began ebb, but doing battle with his feelings, ud telling himself not to be foolish, he entered. Walking up to a small counting house, Thich he saw to his right, he inquired : “Please, sir, do you want a boy? Do Jou want to employ any one ?” “No, we don’t want any one.” A feeling of disappointment smote dlan’s heart, but something prompted tim to say : “Couldn’t you find me anything to do, ar?” The boy’s earnestness made the gentle- tan look more particularly at him, and tuck with his manner, he inquired: “What can you do ?” “Tl do anything, sir!

HOW TO LIVE TOGETHER. BY MRS. FRANCIS G. FAITHFUL. It is a heart-stirring thing to stand in a great school-hall and to listen to “Home, Sweet Home,” given forth jubilantly from hundreds of vigorous young lungs; and yet sometimes a misgiving will creep in as to whether, to some at least even of those light-hearted lads, ‘Home Sweet | Home,” may not carry a cruel irony. Truly home should be sweet, seeing that there dwell together husbands and wives who have elected of their own free will to walk hand-in-hand throngh life; parents and the children to whom they have given birth and nurture ; broth ers and sisters who have slept under one raef, and sat at one board from babyhood. And truly home may be sweet—so sweet that, long after it has passed away, its tender memories, its dead joys, will live in loving hearts, and a stray relic, a scrap of faded chintz, a cracked vase, will be treasured with fond care by some lonely old woman fourscore. But who can say that it is always so? Who cannot call to mind many a home rich in comfort—rich, it may be, in the far better gift of love—but poor in pleas- antness and peace, by reason of ungrac- ious doing, sharp words, cold looks ? Our thoughts travel back to a long, wellspread table, round which we once saw gathered a goodly band of boys and girls jast home from school. They had been glad enough to come. They had marked off one by one the flying days of the half year; and yet now, when the father’s voice was heard sharply taxing the mother with “another thing neglected, as usual,” and she, with heightened color, retorted that he was “always unreasona- ble,” the gay talk of the young ones died away, and in our heart we re-echoed Solomon’s saying as to the dinner of herbs. And yet those angry looks and words the chance in their way. The two friends were now fairly evarted Hercules. Nor did the discord spring from tering | impulses, wraped and mistaken, as even ness too common in us all when sick or sorry. No; it had its source in better the bestimpulses are apt to be. It seems @ paradox, and yet it is undoubtedly true, est to us not only gricrve us more keenly than the faults of our acquaintance, but also arouse in us, for the time, at least, a livelier indignation, Nor is this really strange. The failings of the world at large touch us chiefly in so far as they in- flict suffering or injury on ourselves or others. But the failings of those we love do this, and much more than this. They distort the ideal we would fain cherish in our minds—an ideal which, though it may not create our love, is the source of all our satisfaction in it. We cannot rest while cannot carelessly dismiss the grievance with an unspoken stricture and forget it. We long to reform, or at least to testify, to give vent to our pain, to extort either an avowal of error which may condemn offence, or an explanation which may jus- tify it; and just because we are so anxious we cannot always seek temperately for the relief we need. Hamlet’s people might, “dipping all his faults in their affections, convert his gybes to graces,” but it is not so that our affections mostly work. And is it wrong, then, that we should de- sire to see our beloved without flaw ? that we should seek to shape them altogether to our mind? Not wrong, but only un- wise, because our desire is beyond hope, and must entail on us the sharp sting of certain disappointment. Let us by all means do what we can te help them, as we would be helped ourselves, to live more worthily ; but let as—for we had far better—face the truth and recognize clear- ly that in none of mortal mould can we | find combined all excellencies. It is well | equable and placid temper which belongs naturally tocalm nature. It is rare to find in the woman highly endowed with social gifts strong domestic tastes, or in the philosopher pohdering over some deep ; amenities of life which comes instinctive- | disengaged minds in general society. Why, | then, should we not treat a human char- | acter as we treata human face? We may | faultless in form and coloring ; yet we do “not protest when in the loveliest some de- visible to our scrutinizing gaze. And so, granted that we find in those delight and pride, Something which commands our love, let us accept as cheerfully as we may the at- | tendant conditions. Let us expect to see him who charms us by his vivid fancies, his bright sallies of wit, from time to time gentleness and sound judgment soothe our harassed spirit, sometimes too phleg- get to hand a chair, and the brilliant talk- |er weary of the unbroken monotony of his own fireside. For so it will be, strive against it as we may; andif we are discontentedly de- manding of each the one thing he lacks; if we are restlessly chaffing over the one blemish in our fair picture instead of judg- | ing it as a whole, we are a torment, and it may be worse, to ourselves and to the beings for whose happiness we daily pray. Lucilia had bitter cause to rue in that “she brooked it not” when, as she “ran to greet him with a kiss, the master took small notice or austerely,” and many others might well mourn over the lost sunshine of their homes, clouded by their own fruitless murmurings at the careless- ness, overcaution, the gravity or the frivolity, the hundred and one possiblle shortcomings of husband or wife, parent or child. Surely David Copperfield was right when, after his long mental conflict, he resolved, since he could not adapt Dora to himself ‘‘to adapt himself to her, to share with her what he could and be hap- py.” We returned from that touching vision of the young husband toiling silently at his work, and child-wife sitting beside far into the night, knowing that his deep- er thoughts must ever be a closed book to her, yet proud and happy if she might but hold his pens ; and we think pitifully of Mrs. Furnival in “Orley Farm,” a drag on the ambitious lawyer who had floated up above her homely life, and yearning vainly amid the luxuries with which he had surrounded her for the old days when they were young together, and when in his dingy chambers she mended his socks and was sufficient to him. It was his do- ing rather than hers that they had drifted so far apart, and yet she would bave been a wiser woman and a happier wife if she had accepted her fate. Somuch for the defects to which all flesh isheir. But it may sometimes hap- pen that the triaf comes through no de- fect in one or theother, but simply through those diversities of temperament without which this world of our would lose much of its zest and interest. At least so we that the faults of those nearest and dear- | he had | as ee . 1 anothe sate picnic or a dance, there for a day'sfishing in the tarn or shooting on the bis; and as she packed his traveling-bag, or watch- ed him down the garden shouldering bis gun or rod, her salt tears would drop, and she would say, sighing bitterly, that it was hard—he was all the world to her, and she but one of many te him. And it was hard. Her pang was doubtless sharp, yet she had no rightto murmur. She and her boy were both as nature fashioned them, and the blithe and gracious ways that made him welcome everywhere had of old brought her, too, many a thrill of pride and pleasure. She would have done well if she had nursed that pride and pleasure for her own sake aad for his—if she had, at any cost, kept back the com- plaints that came crowding to her lips. They could never draw him closer to her; they might, and they did drive him speed- ily away. But we may go farther still. We may suy truly that even the great efforts and discoveries that shed lasting lustre on a man’s ame may sorely tax the patience and forbearance of those who dwell be- neath his roof. Arkwright’s wife, pas- sionately destroying the models which were bringing her to want, might plead much in her own excuse. Yet, when bis enduring anger had exiled her from his hearth, she may have wished that she had learnt to look on those mysterious contrivances with un eye rather than her own, and had held her hand. Who would not own it better to follow in the steps of Mrs. Edwards, saving up her hard-earned pence to get her naturalist‘ husband bot- tles for his “beasts” and shot for his gun, and good-humoredly permitting his strange nightly wandering--““Weel, he took an interest in beasts that I dinna complain ?” Aye, the conclusion of the whole matter may be summed up in ane word—toler- ance.

A stranger, who had heard better performances, turned to his neighbor, saying: “Does not the lady in white sing wretchedly?” “Excuse me, sir, I scarcely feel myself at liberty to ex- press my sentiments; she is my sister.” “I beg your pardon, sir,” answered he in much confusion. “I mean the lady in blue.” “You are mighty right, there,” replied the neighdor. “I have often told her so myself; she is my wife.” _———__~<4bo——_____ PREPARING FOR PossiBILITIES.—Mr. Benson was out in his garden Monday, daubing a coat of tar on the trunk of a choice cherry tree, when his next door neighbor, with whom he is not on very good terms, came out and industriously set to work nailing laths between the pick- ets on the line fence. “I thought I'd fix this tree so that your dog wouldn’t be able to get into it when the cherries are ripe,” sarcastically ob- served Benson, as the work went on. “Yes, 1 see,” was the reply, “and it re- minded me that if the space between these pickets was reduced, your cat couldn’t reach through and pick my raspberries.” A deep and profound silence followed. —Fulton Times. —_-—_— Look about the premises for opportani- ties to make improvements.

Poverty cannot compete successfully with health. : There is another field for culture where the harvest might be large, but the labor- ers are few. In private families where children are loved and watched over with paternal solicitude, there is a culpable ig- norance in obliging their little ones to do too much, under the mistaken idea of giving them superior advantages. Precocious children disappoint the ar- dent expectations of their friends. When they arrive at an age at which they arefond- ly supposed to be ready to blaze with ex- traordinary mental brilliancy, their feeble light goes out. Slow and sare is a true saying. Gradually evolving an intellect, as a flower anfolds its beauty, is a safer process than bursting open suddenly, to wither under the first rays of the morning sun. Children ought not to be taught much of anything more than moral duties, till they have reached at least six years. Their brains are in no condition for concentrat- ing thoughts before. They should have perfect liberty to act out their etuberant playfulness with as little restraint as pos- sible, consistent with proper discipline in the lessons of good manners, courtesy, truth, and order. Time-is not lost in giv- en them such scope for exercising body and mind. Their activity and ever vary- ing amusements are but so many ways of tutoring their muscles, their organs of ‘sense, and in preparing them for the places and responsibilities of the future. Public schools are overworking pupils ; goaded by fear of disgrace or punishment, over excited by promised rewards, their immature nervous system are forced at the expense of their vitality. When pale, delicate, frail little girls are flattered into a morbid ambition in a Sunday-school, to commit to memory long, dry chapters, to them without meaning, it is reprehensi- ble. It is a violation of physical law that has broken down and spoiled gany a bright and promising child. Allow children all the play-time they wish. They will stop at a seasonable period for disciplining their innate pow- ers, voluntarily, to commence a higher series of employments which will be also enjoyments. _It isa lamentable mistake to keep young misses several successive hoursat the piano Dragooning them into accomplishments is a poor policy. Besides deranging the minute structure of the brain by long- continued practice at a single sitting, if attended with fatigue, the continued at- titude presses painfully on certain bones. Curvatures of the spine, and a droop of a shoulder, are traceable to such circum- stances. Recollect the bones of young girls are are completely ossified till near their twen- tieth year. They are not hard and firm. A fixed attitude, therefore, so as that the weight of the body presses directly on the pelvic frame-work, may warp them out of the line in which they should have de- velopment. Nature has inspired all young animals with a restless spirit, on purpose to keep them moving. A love of change is simply giving each and every fiber and organ a chance to perfect its organization. While children sleep, which is about-all the rest their active limbs require, pro- cesses are then rapidly going on for the physical completion of their bodies. That is the reason why they require so much repose. Internal artisans then labor with intense energy while they are quiescent in slumber. Growth is suspended when they are awake, but renewed the instant their eye- lids are closed. Unfledged birds in the nest sleep near- ly all the time, after leaving the shell, till their feathers are sufficiently developed to sustain them on the wing. Their per- fect quietude favors vital process, so that that in a few weeks they are complete in their proportions. When the brain is large, the process of growth is slower. Allow young girls and boys as much sleep as they desire. It is not from indolence, or a sluggish nature, that they are so uniformly disposed to drowse to a late hour in the morning. If they retired earlier, they would rise ear- lier. But nature demands both time and opportunity for completing their bodies according to a prescribed pattern. If we interfere with that law, and interrupt processes instituted for that purpose, they will have unfinished bodies, weak brains, and poor health.—Smith. pursuit of health, wealth, and happiness, Here also we saw several hundred acres of nice green oats well headed, which will produce abundantly.

There is a good deal of sickness among children in large towns and cities. A fashionable mother carried her child to the country the other day and an old farm- er physician was sent for. He took the boy in his arms and said immediately. “Madam, this child is half starved.” “What in the world do you mean doc- tor :” said the startled mother. ' “T mean exactly what I say. You keep the child too clean and don’t give him enough to eat.” The old doctor then told 4 servant to bring him a piece of boiled fat meat. She objected strongly but the doctor had his way, and the child sucked the fat meat like a sugar teat and fell to sleep at the job. “Now,” said the doctor, “give this child pot liquor and good corn bread, every day, as much as he wants, and fling away all medicine, and don’t fret if he gets greasy—a child won’t thrive well unless he is well greased.” The mother has returned and her boy is a bouncer, sticks his fingers into all the other chil- dren’s eyes.—Reidsville Times. oe “TELL ME A STORY MAMMA.” We hope no mother ever refused _to re- spond to this request. “Tell mea story, mamma.” What an opportunity is here afforded to plant the “trees of life” in the garden of the child’s heart. Lessons may here be imparted that will mould the char- acter and control the conduct through life ; lessons that. will be remembered in days of temptation, in seasons of sorrow and distress. While we write these lines, the face of a dead mother, now in heaven, is vividly before us. We see her kindly look, and hear her gentle voice again, as she tells the thrilling story that made our childish hearts throb or sorrow. No pul- pit has ever equaled the eloquence to our ears with which mother described the sufferings of the Saviour. What conflict- ing emotions swelled in us as we heard of the mockings, the scourgings, the agony on the cross, endured for sinners! Our pity for the Sufferer was equaled only by our indignation and wrath against his marderers. We could have swept the whole Jewish nation from the face of the earth! We were astonished that the earth did not open and swallow them up! But the gentle voice that has raised this storm in our impotent bosom subdued it by words of tenderness and made us feel how good He was to forgive them, and how we ought to love Him. —— op ee MEN. The great wanf of the age is men. Men who are not for sale. Men who will con- demn wrong in friend or foe, in themselves as well as others. Men whose consciences are as steady as the needle to the pole. Men who will stand for right if the heav- ens totter and the earth reels. Men who can tell the truth and look the world and the devil right in theeye. Men that neith- er flagnor flinch. Men who can have courage without shouting to it. Men in whom the courage of everlasting life runs still, deep aud strong. Men who do not cry or cause their voices to be heard on the Sts., but will not fail nor be discouraged till judgment be setinearth. Men who know their places and fill them. Men who will not tell a lie. Men who are not too lazy to work, nor two proud to be poor.

WasHINGTON, July 16.—A Montreal special says that Hackett’s funeral will take place at 3 p. m., and will be attend- ed by the Orangemen in full regalia. Four thousand are expected to take part. Great excitement again prevails in this city and serious trouble is feared. The mayor has issued a proclamation calling on all law abiding citizens to assist the police. force in maintaining order. The volunteers have been called out. ——_~< The President’s Order.

With us of the South, of- ficial intermeddling had become an intol- erable nuisance. At the North it is said to have been worse. If any office-holder dare to violate the order, let the President issue the mandate: “Off with his head, so much for Buckingham,” and patriotic men will all say—Amen. _— +a Violent Exercise.—Violent or rapid exer- tion made by children, and also by stout or aged people, often injures, and some- times causes disease of the heart, when the same taken in the ordinary way would dono harm. Rapidly running up-stairs, or to meet a train, sometimes causes death. Hence, whilst exercise is of the utmést importance to health, it should be taken in a regulated and rational manner, and particularly by those who have passed the period of youth. But disease of the heart, even in youth, may often be traced to in- discretion in this particular, whether in rowing, running, or jumping.— Ez. a enna ditbbind iss Pipe Organs.—The invention of this powerful musical instrument is attributed, by some, to Archimedes, 220 B.

It will be seen by the reports copied into this paper, that the disturb- ance has become very serious, resulting in the loss of many lives and the destruc- tion of property of immense value, The trouble has extended from road to road and from State to State; and although all has beeome quict at the points of its garlier movement, like a conflagration it spreads out wherever there is materia! on which it can feed. There is very little doubt that this treu- dle is @ perfectly natural result ofa previ- ous abnormal condition. During the war and since, under the grabbing administra- tion of Grant, the heavy railroad and other monopolies have enjoyed 9 perfect feast of money getting. They could afford, and did pay, high prices to employees, indeed it was 9 flood time of high prices, and while it lasted they were all jubulant and extravagant.

The sympathy of the people here seems to be largely with the strikers, although the rioting and destruction of property is almost universally deprecated.

It is stated that Secretary Sherman fa- vors an immediate call for the assembling of Congress, ment which the Republicans have been building since 1861 seems a feeble affair. They have squandered the sovereignty which they took from the States.

The Indianapolis and St. Louis road has struk. This strike includes firemen, brakemen, section men and machinists. No stock was shipped east from Buffalo to-day. The strikers took hands from the New York Central train and unloaded the stock. The Lake Shore and Erie yards and shops are closed. {ise New York Central men are not on the strike at Baffalo, but can do nothing. There is mach drankenness and it is fear- ed that Buffalo will share Pittsburg’s fate. The excitement in New Jersey is in- creasing. The State authorities ordered troops to be in readiness.

Last week’s statement gave $317,500,000 banks notes, $360,500,000 in legal tender $21,000,000 in fractional currency making in all $699,000,000 outstanding.

We suppose the Mail Robber Arrested.—A. Howerton was arrested at this place, Wednesday last, on the charge of robbing the mail. He has occasionally acted as a sub-route agent on the Western N. . Railroad Where the regular agents have had occa- Sor to be off duty for a trip or two; and his depredations were committed while acting in this capacity. Some six or sev- en losses have been sustained within the last year or two by persons sending goods and money packages over this line, and it had been observed by parties deeply in- terested in such failures that they always *ecurred about the time Howerton was sub-agent. United States detectives were Rotified of these facta, and very soon the offender was. caught. Subsequent devel- *pments have shown that Howerton did Ret confine himself to money packages alone, but seized small packages of goods “well.

Let the citizens constitute them- selves in a coimmitttee of the whole to se- cure the enforcement of every sanitary measure from now until frost. ——o—————. Obey the Ordinance.—The town ordi- nance requiring cows to be stabled at night is constantly violated by a few cit- izens whose thoughtlessness, more than anything else, thus subject them to trou- ble and loss. We learn the town author- ities have determined to enforce the or- dinance more rigidly hereafter, so that those concerned should take warning and be on their guard. It is better for the owners and for the community to have all stock off the streets at night, and {the re- quirement is not generally burdensome. Yet really there is less objection to cattle on the streets in the night time than in the day. The public is less anuoyed by them, the only danger being that some traveller may stumble over them as they lie lazily in the road ways. There are always a few cows at this season slow to come up in the evening, and their owners are frequently at much trouble to get them in, and sometimes fail to find them. Should the police come upon them, how- ever, and impound them, it subjects the owners to a fine, and altogether makes up such a case of hardhip as rendered this ordinance very unpopular and inoppera- tive only last year. We have never knuwn a night traveler damaged by cows in the street, but they are a constant offense by day in more ways than one, and some- times vicious animals have pursued and frightened women and children who hap- pen to be passing near them. Occasion- ally a wretchedly poor cow bas been sent out on the street. She is no offense by night, for she can’t be seen; but if there is anything more offensive to an acute sense of decency than one of these unclad, suffering creatures, we do not know what it is. ee TO PHYSICIANS OF ROWAN CO. There will be a meeting of the Physicians of Rowan county, in Salisbury, on Saturday, Au- gust 11th, to take into consideration the organ- ization of our County Medical Society, The law passed at the recent session of the General Assembly making the State Medical Society a Board of Health for the State—enacts also that each County Medical Society organized in accordance with the constitution and laws of the State Society, shall be a County Board of Health. Jn orber, therefore, that the profea- sion of Rowan may aid this movement, it is proposed that we meet in Salisbury, on the Ith of August, and take such action as may enable us to furnish some assistance to the Committee appointed at the recent meeting of the State Society, in carrying out the law in this regard.

Dear WATCHMAN: Patiently have I been waiting for some leisure hour to come when I might write you somewhat more about our great ‘Teachers’ School” up here at Chapel Hill, but to the busy “Normal” such hours seem destined ne’er to come; so I shall ut down my Phonetic Spelling book (not Webster's blue backed) and hastily note some of the principal features of this new enterprise. ’Twill not be oat of place to speak first of the University itself. It is an institution of which every North Caro- linian should be proud, unrivalled in the South, if indeed in America, in-beaut situation, in magnificerfee and grandeur of building, having bs large collegiate structures, in hospitality of the citizens, in salubrity of climate, situated on a pla- teau 800 feet above sea level, and conduct- ed by a corps of able Professors under the guidance of Hon. K. P. Battle, who seems to have been permanently fitted for the position of President. Success to the noble re beige, Mey may Be s00n regain the high prestige so wo at- aa in ante alles times ! ? Now for the Normal. There are over two hundred (200) ls on the roll; five regular Professors, three regular classes or sections, with several sub-sections, having sub-teachers. The studies pur- sued are, Arithmetic, Grammar, Geogra- phy, Reading, Spelling, and Vocal Music, on each of which daily recitations are made by all the pupils; besides these, there are extra classes studying Latin, Intellectual Arithmetic, and Music.

He has astraight- forward way, however, of telling what he thinks, that enables us to convey pretty clearly the drift of his opinions by a sen- tence now and then abstracted. As was the case with most of our for- eign mechanical visitors, Dr. Anderson was first struck by our multiplicity of special and labor-saving devices. The in- vention of these he thinks is our “natural forte and worthy of the old stock proba- bly quickened by the peculiarly favorable circumstances under which they live. it was the display made in this section of, the exhibition which most conspicuously brought fout the enormous strength of America as a producing power.” “No mere word,” he says, can convey an idea of the high standard of excellence of American watch making machinery. Sel- lers’ tools were without a parallel in the his- tory of exhibitions either for extent, mon- ey value, or for originality and mechani- cal perfection.” For torsional, tensional, and malleable qualities the samples of American iron and sieel “were equal to the best of any country.” ‘The impres- sion is left upon the minds of European visitors, that American competition in machine tools will soon be upon us, that. hat, don’t it speak vulumes for the reform- Fatt WHEAT, THE WHEAT OF Taos, in ing influence of woman's society ?

(31:3m,) AT THE UNITED STATES CENTENNIAL World’s Exposition, 1876 MASON & HAMLIN CABINET ORGANS Unanimously assigned the “FIRST RANK IN THE SEVERAL REQUISITES” Of such Instruments ! The MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO. have the honor to announce that the organs of their manufacture have been oe aed assigned “the FIRST RANK in the SEY- ERAL REQUISITES of instruments of the class” by the Judges at the CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION at Philadelphia, 1876, and are the ONLY INSTUMENTS OF THIS GEN- ERAL CLASS AWARDED THIS RANK. This is after the severest competition by the best makers, before one of the most competent juries ever assembled. t They have also received the MEDAL, but, as is well known, medals of equal merit have been awarded all articles deemed worthy ot recognition ; so that it will be easy for many makers to advertise that they have received “first medals.” The differences in competing articles, and their comparative excellence, are recognized in the Reports of the Judges, from which the following is an extract: ‘THE MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO.’s exhibit of Reed Organs and Har- moniums shows Instruments of the {Ret RANK IN THE SEVERAL RE- ES OF INSTRUMENTS OF HE CLASS: viz.: Smoothness and equal distribution of tone, scope 0 expression, resonance and singing qual- ity, freedom and quickness in action of | keys and bellows, with thorough- ness of wor manship, combined with simplicity of action.” (Signed by allthe Judges.) The Mason and Ham- lin Organs ar¢ thus declared to rank first, not in one or two respects only, but in the SEV- EKAL REQUISITES. of such instrament, and they are the ONLY ones assigned this rank. This triumph was not unexpected, for the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs have uniformly been awarded the highest honors in competitions in’ America, there having been scarcely six exceptions in hundreds ot competitions. ‘They. were awarded highest bonors and FIRST MEDALS Paris 1867; Vienna '73 Santiago ’75; ~ PHILADELPHIA, 1876; and have thas been awarded highest honors at Every World’s Exposition at which they have been exhibited; being the ONLY AMBRICAN ORGANS which have ever obtained ANY AWARD o. * Cheap Chattel Mortgages, Sages owe In State the Publishers feel. conf.» ee at , ent that they are. ee Fatmérs Sourusl ct ites in ares a Jonranl which exwhet Silt te bebéek! ‘ send rofitable to every farmer who subscribes for .. t, and _to-place it within reach of e Sie we offer it to single subecritan to acy ‘$1.00 a per year. ; NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. .

Taking up the cultiva- tion of the sunflower a few years ago, my ™ attention was drawn to the subject of its extensive cultivation having a beueficial effect on the surrounding atmosphere, by the fact that one season the village near which I resided was visited by a severe epidemic of scarlet fever and typhus. Many children died—one in a cottage, where the whole family was prétracted at one time, not a hundred yards from my own house. All my family eseaped with- outs touch of sickness, I had at that time about sixty very large sunflower plants in my garden surrounding the house. My personal experience of the efficiency of the cultivation of the sun- flower as & preventive of miasmatic fever has been fully borne out by other and worthicr authorities, of whom Gen. Sher- man is one. A land owner onthe banks of the Scheldt sowed the sunflower exten- sively on his property near the river, with such effect that there has not been a single case of miasmatic fever among his tenants for years, although the dis- ease continues to prevail in the neighbor- hood. The medical men in France, Italy and Germany believe the cultivation of the sunflower to be effectual in removing the source of disease. It may not be gen- erally known that the sunflower absorbs, during its growth, a vast quantity of im- pure gasses; it feeds largely by its leaves, absorbs nitrogen more rapidly than any other plant and will evaporate as much as a quart of water daily. I am convinced that the cultivation of this much-neglect- plant on a larger scale would not only be beneficial, but remumerative. The fiber ean be used for making paper; the ripe seed is most useful as food for poultry, especially during the molting season; from it fine oil—second only to ollve—is extracted; the leaves are much relished by rabbits, and the thick stems may be used as fuel.—Public Opinion, —-— EO DECAYING TEETH. M. S., Iowa, asks; Is there anything that will stop decaying teeth from decaying any more? Ans. Yes; there are many things—that is, many things may be required to be done to stop decay. In the first place, all cavities must be filled. Then the teeth should be thoroughly cleansed and polish- ed by a good dentist. Thirdly, they should be foreyer afterward kept scrupu- lously clean by the use of the tooth-brush, soap, and powder, several times a day. Finally, the general health must be im- proved, if it be impaired, as this may bea potent cause of the decay of teeth. —— te LOOK OUT FOR GERMS. Every one ought to know that most of the dangerous acute diseases, such as typhoid fever, cholera, spinal meningitis, with dysentery and other diseases preva- lent at this season of the year, are pro- fluced by the reception into the system of germs. These germs, when received into the system, occasion great disturbance, and often cause death in spite of the most assiduous care and attention that physi- cians and nurses can give. The only safety lies in keeping these noxious in- truders out of the system. Disease germs are always present wher- ever decay of organic matters is in pro- gress. Ifthere is a foul smell anywhere jn the vicinity, do not rest until ita source is discovered. It may be in a neighbor- _ing hog-ben, barnyard, or poultry house, @ neglected cesspool or vault. The source of mischief may be even closer by. It may consist of a decaying woodpile, pu- trescent vegetables in the cellar, carrion under the house, a foul cistern, a neglect- ed closet, an odorous wood-box, molding paper on the walls, or any one of a hun- red other sources of putrefactive germs. Whatever the cause may be, search it out and remove it; and do not cease the search until the cause is wholly removed and the atmosphere gf home wholly freed from these noisome enemies of life and health. Beware of germs. Beware of bad smells. Wherever there is a bad odor there are myriads of poisonous germs. They go together. Rout them. > FOR THE GIRLS. Girls, we want to have a little chat with you.

Menier, au inventor of a military hot-air balloon, receiftly delivered in London a lecture on war-time wronautics. In con- ducting experiments at Woolwich his aim had been to find a balloon which could ascend and descend rapidly for a prolong- ed period, could be steered, and could proceed against the wind. Rejecting hy- drogen gas as an inflating medium because it could not be generated in the air and escaped very freely, compressed air for same reason, and mechanical force as éumbrous and unworkable, he chose hot air, because, although it requires greater cubical capacity, the material employed for the balloon need not be specially pre- pared, and is, therefore, lighter and less liable to spontaneous combustion. By employing a special kind of fuel, the bal- loon can be kept in the air for 20 or 25 hours, while considerable changes in the density of the air, and consequent rapid ascents and decents, are rendered easy. Tothis balloon, which is spherical in shape, M. Menier affixes wings all around except in front, and a tail behind, managed by the wronaut, acts as a rudder. His bal- loon can be made to travel against con- trary winds, and when this is not practica- ble, it will tack to and fro like a ship. CHASTITY OF COSSACK WOMEN. N. Y. Times. Those Cossacks have some very curi- ous customs. They are all comparatively young men, and nearly all married, of course to young wives. It often happens, as in the present instance, that they are away from home during a war for one or even three or four years, and the natural result is that many of the wives left be- hind do not prove Lucretias. The Cos- sacks are quite aware of this, and many of them, upon starting home, buy a white searf or handkerchief, which they take with them. Upon entering their villages, the whole population—women, girls, old men, and children—come out to meet them, including, of course, the wives of the returning wanderers. Now, those of the wives who have been unfaithful to their lords, of which there is usually a consid- erable sprinkling, go forward to their hus- bands, kneel down before them in the road, put their faces in the dust, and place their husband’s foot upon their necks. This is a confession of guilt, and at the same time a prayer for forgiveness. If the husband then covers his wife’s head with the white scarf, it means that he for- gives her, asks no questions, and obliter- ates the past. In this case no one hasa right ever to reproach the wife with her incontinency, and if any one should be rash enough to do so he would have to count with the husband, who is the pro- tector of his wife’s honor. If, on the con- trary, the white handkerchief is not pro- duced, the woman returns straight to her father’s house without again entering her husband’s dwelling, and a divorce is pro- nounced. A'though there is generally a considerable sprinkling of women who come forward to kneell down ind put their fates in the dast, it rarely happens that they are not forgiven. A very tragical case, however, is related in which the re- verse took place. A returning Cossack was informed by a malicious neighbor be- fore he reached his home that his wife had been unfaithful, without waiting to see whether the guilty woman would come forward and confess her sins. The com- rades of the Cossack perceived that he had all of a sudden taken to drink and dissipation, although he was not a man given to these vices. When he reached his village his wife, as he feared, came for- ward, knelt down, and put her face in the dust at his feet. The spectators saw him look at her as she lay in the dust fora long time. Two or three times he put his hand in his breast for the white handker- chief, as if he were going to cover the re- pentant woman’s head— two or three times the movement was restrained. Finally, as if driven by a sudden impulse, he all at once drew his shashka, and with one stroke severed her head from her body! The punishment for the crime was two months’ imprisonment, while the malicious neighbor who had taken the trouble to inform him beforehand of his wife’s mis- conduct was sentenced to Siberia for three years. eR ee Caution often averts danger.

I trust I gee you all in gvod health this fine day.” And some of the boys would nod—and some wouldn’t do anything; bat I never could help standing up and bowing, per- paps because I knew that my mother gould have said I ought to do it. To be sure he was only on salary like ourselves, bat he had been at R——& B—’s twenty-five years, and young fel- jows had come and gone, and there he was. . And, you see, it was gentlemanly of ymething like a gentleman, too, I said opee to Merrivale, next desk to mine; but _Well—I didn’t try it again. “You see, Merrivale was up to every- thing, dressed elegantly, sneered at every- thing almost, and I'd come from a coun- try town and he was a city man. Nobody was down on “Old Dumps,” ashe was, especially after he made us that speech about our conduct to, the la- dies. Dumps made a speech, you know ; and it was Merrivale who had said the lady ouly came in to look at him. . I'm sure she really wanted to know the way to the street she asked for; and how she colored and hurried out! And Dumps with his brown wig, look- ed to me like the gentleman that day ; and Merrivale with his fine curling hair and black moustache and broad shoulders, like a puppy. . “The man who callsa blush to the cheek of a good woman by look or tone mast have forgotten his own mother,” said Old Dumps. “When that lady asked you a civil question, she relied on her belief that you were a gentleman, Mr. Merrivale. When you answered her as you did, and spoke of her as you did, any one could read your insulting thoughts, Mr. Merrivale; and you did not even rise from your seat, sir. You proved that she was very much mistaken.” “Mean to say I am no gentleman?” said Merrivale. “In this instance, sir,” said Old Dumps, “you certainly-have not cOnducted your- self as one should.” Merrivale pulled his coat half off, and pulled it on again.” “Pshaw,” said he ; ‘‘he knows he’s safe. There'd be no fun in knocking down an; old bag of bones like that. I could do it with my little finger. But you attend to Sg — to the office. The boys were getting ready : before, on the wall over the mantel; and to go home. I saw they knew what) hed happened. “None of you believed this of me,” said i ‘(And Merrivale said : “‘Look here, Forrester, you’re very lucky to get off so.” “Carberry said : “Now come we know too much to be fooled. It's always your sly boots of « young man that does these sort of things.” ; And Grab said : “ “I say, Forrester, don’t talk too much; you'll give yourself away.” And Stover said : ‘ “Oh, go take a glass of brandy and wa- tef, and don’t go on like a girl about it.” . And with shame, and rage, and grief, I could have died ; when oyt of bis dua } snuff-colored overcoat, and held oat his hand. “Mr. Forrester,” he said. ‘I’ve watch- ed you ever since you’ve been here. I know what yon are. You are incapable of a dishonest act, and what is more I will prove it before I rest. The man who honors his mother will do no dishonorable thing. He took my hand in his arm, and, bow* ing to the others, walked out with me. I heard Grab and Stoverand Carberry laagh, but Merrivale give usa furious look, and stood, white to the lips, looking after us. “Mr. Dumps,” said I, “I thank you for your confidence in me—I deserve it—in this, at least; but it saves my heart from breaking under this disgrace. How shall I tell my mother ?” ‘Don’t tell her yet,” said he. ‘Wait. —Others shall think of you as I do soon. Then we went on in silence. He took me to his room, where he kept bachelor's hall.—He made tea for me, and served me with sliced potted beef and thin bread and butter. The room was a strange, old- fashion place, enough like a room in a story—and there was a minature of a young lady in the costume of forty years * of book shelves, old calf-bound volamns— Field@ing’s Amelia, Thaddeus of Warsaw, Evelina—I can’t tell you all of them; and on the stand near the fire, the prayer book, with a book-mark hanging to it. And it was not until we had done tea that he said to me very apologetically, af- ter I had called him Mr. Dumps: “Mr. Forrester, excuse me; but I am not named Dumps. That is the name by which the young men at. the store consid- ered it witty to call me. I confess I could not see the wit, but it rather hurt them more than me. I saw by your manner that you had madea mistake. My name is Adams.” . I was so much ashamed of having used your own business, will you, Old Dumps, Ican behave myself without your advice, ' and that aiu’t the first woman that’s come in just for a sort of flirtation. I’m used to that sort of thing. I am.” “Mr. Dumps is right this time,” said I. “Bah !? said Merrivale. ‘‘You’re from the country.” “Thank Heaven for it, then my young friend, said Dumps, and sat down, After that Merrivale was never half way | civilte Damps, and the boys followed | Merrivale’s lead. But I liked the old! fellow. When we met in the street I'd take off my hat and shake hands, and say some of those polite things that moth- erused tosay. And I wrote of him to | mother, and she said she was glad that. her boy knew what was due to a good old gentleman. But after all, in the office, | you know what the boys thought and said had its influence. Who were the boys? Why, there was Merrivale, with his darling airs, and his way of letting you know he was favorite with the women. And rry, who didn’t eare about ttyle, and knew the city. And Stover, who used to vome with red | eyes and headaches, and boast that he had been making a night of it. | It was lonely enough in the great city, ' and I should have liked to join the com- | pany with Dumps and walk home with | him from ehurch sometimes, but I was afraid of meeting one of the boys, and I ' never did. But I would bow to him, and We took our hats off to each other always. | Sometimes, when I lived at Haredale with my mother, I've seen the sky beauti- fal and bright and blue one hour, and the next black with the clouds of a thunder | storm. Just that way my trouble came. to me—an awful trouble—such as I could hot have dreamed of. Thad written to my mother that I, was | doing well and liked my business, and Would be down to see her on Sunday, when I was sent for to go into the inner office ; and there—I cau't go through with it—I can’t even remember details! But I Was charged with being a thief. You'd have to understand our particu- lat business, as well as book-keeping, to know how I waa supposed to have done | it; but they believed I had robbed them of one hundred pounds. They urged me to confess. I was inno- cent, and I said so. Then they told me they did not’ wish to be hard on me. | I was young. The city was a bad place for boys. They would be merciful, and oaly dismisg me without » recommenda- “ion! All I could say had noeffect, They Proved me guilty before accused they paid ; Ci at last I pr. San out me in- ' | cleared. the nick-name, innocently as I did it, I could have cried. , But my friend comforted me. I think that but for his sympathy that night I should bave taken my life. 1 did not be- lieve he could help me even then. But he did. I said I could not tell you just what they accused me of doing unless you knew the ins and outs of our business. And I can’t tell you how I did it for the same reason. But one day he came to me, flushed with triumph, and took both my hands and shook them hard, and said: . ‘My dear boy, it’s all right. 1’d watched before and had aclue. Your character is The firm welcome you back, with regrets that they should have sus- pected you, and the real culprit is found. The real culprit is Merrivale, and Stover is his accomplice.” And so it really was. They had doc- tored my books and meddled with my proof.—They made me out a thief as plain- ly as though I had been one, and they never guessed that “Old Dumps,” with his suspicions aroused, had played detee- tive, and was able to come to my rescue in the hour of need. I went back to my situation and I’ve got on well ever since ; but there’s more of my story. Think of my dear Old Dumps turning out to be my uncle—my mother’s own brother—and neither of us guessing it. Long ago other people had quarreled and so separated these two, who were al- ways friends. . Think of the little man in the shabby wig and coat proving to be quite rich, and going down the country to live with his sister for the rest of his life. In vacations and holidays I go to see them. They are happy together, and the little tea is set with the china, and there is potted beef and jelly and I’m petted like a child. And in my uncle’s room the old miniature of the young lady hangs on the mantal piece as it did in his lodgings. And once he told me its sweet, sad sto- ry, and I knew why the quaintold man in the office had a more true and tender gal- lantry to women, and wasa braver friend and more perfect. gentleman than the young fops who grinned at him from the high stools between bis desk gnd the win- dow, and gave him the nickname of Old Dumps. “None of you who know me ?” | rs ee ee what a license involves, are rarely set out in a clearer light than the following ad- dress by Judge Reading : “By the law you may sell to men and women, if they buy. You have given your bond, and paid your license to sell to them, and no one has « right to molest you in your legal business. No matter what the consequences may be, no matter what poverty and destitution are - ed by your selling according to law, you have paid your money for this priyil i ‘—o © No matter fami traeted aud rendéred miserable ; no mat- ter what children Starve or mourn over the degredation of a parent, your business is legalized and no one may interfere with you in it. No matter what mother may agouize over the loss of a son, or # sister blush at the shame of a brother, you have a right to disregard them all and > Fae 4 pursue your legal calling—you are licens- ed. You may fit up your lawful place of business in the most enticing and captivat ing form; you may furnish it with the most costly and elegent equipments for your lawful trade; you may fill it with the allurements of amusements ; you may use all your arts to indace visitors; you Pmay skillfully arrange and expose to view your choicest wines and most captivating beverages ; you may than induce a raging appetite for strong drink, and then you may aupply that appetite to the full, be- cause it is lawful ; you have paid for it— you have a license. You may allow boys almost children to frequent, your saloon ; they may witness the apparent satisfac- tion with which their seniors quaff the sparkling glass; you may be schooling and training them for the period of twen- ty-one, when they two, ean participate, for all this is lawful. You may hold the cup to their lips, but you must not let them drink—that is unlawful. But with all these privileges, that of selling to the children is denied you. Here parents have the right to say, ‘“‘Leave my son to me untill the law gives you a right tu de- stroy him. Do not anticipate that terri- ble moment when I can assert for him no further rights of protection. That will be soon enough for me, fur hia mother, for his sister, for his friends and fur the com- munity to take his road to death. Give him to us in his childhood at least. Let us have a few years of his youth, in which we can enjoy his innocence, to repay us in some small degree for the care and love we have lavished upon him.” This is something you who now stand prisoners at the bar have not paid for—this is not em- braced in your license. For this offense the court sentences you for ten days im- prisonment in the county jail, and that you pay a fine of seventy-five dollars and that you stand committed until the fine and costs of this prosecution are paid.” ——E—EE—E———EEE DO IT WELL. How many persons there are who wish they could do a thing well, but who are unwilling to give the time and strength to fit themselves for the work in question. Young teachers wish they could interest and profit a class as well as some highly successful teacher of their acquaintance ; yet they are not ready to study as bard on their lessons week by week as that skilled teacher does ; nor will they pay as much attention as he gives to wise methods of teaching. Another young per- son wishes he could write attractively for the papers ; but he will not wait until he has trained himself for this sphere as, without exception, the best newspaper writers have. He who thinks that a man ean preach well, or play well, or sing well, or write well, or play on a musical instru- ment, or, in fact, do anything well with- out hard work in learning how to do that thing, is greately mistaken. It is never easy to doa thing until a man realizes that it is hard todo it.—S. S. Times. — HOW POISONS ARE SPREAD. Mr. G. Owen Rees, consulting Physician to Guy’s Hospital, London, has called public attention to some unexpected sources of arsenical poisoning. The green calico lining of bed curtains has been found to have produced, for months, se- vere systoms, which were treated as those of natural disease, without benefit to the patients. When the curtains were re- moved the patients at once recovered their health. The beautiful pale-green muslin, largely used for ladies’ dresses, has been found to contain not less than 60 grains of thearsenical compound known as Scheele’s green in every square yard. He suggests that, in order to prevent mach of the nausea, vomiting, hcadache, in- flammation of the eyes, etc., from which so many suffer, there be a prohibition of the manufacture of such deleterious fabrics. Red, scarlet, and mauve-colored fabrics are not always free frem arsenic. He adds that the agitation of skirts in dancing discharges arseuical poison, which probably causes some of the pallor and languor almost alway wholly attributed to ill-ventilated aad crowded rooms, and to bad champagne, are dis- |; Temperatare is determined chiefly by latitude, the thermometer falling 1° to 1%” for 1° of latitude, modified by—1l. Elevation (3° for 1,000 feet), 2. The distance and direction of the coast lines and mountain ranges. 3. Winds. 4, Ocean currents. Moisture or humidity depends on—1. Relation to water surface. 2. Winds. 3. Ocean currents. The winds from the African desert, very hot and dry at first, become charged with moisture as they blow over the Mediterranean, and reach Italy and Sicily in a condition favorable to vegetation. Winds from the same county become the hot, destructive monsoons of Arabia and India. The Meditterranean has changed the monsoon into the sirocco. So mnch for climatology in general. Let us consider North Carolina. WHERE IS NORTH CAROLINA? Nobody knows. Fverybody says its lati- tude is from 33° 56’ to 36° 30; the real latitade is: S. Z. corner, 30° 51’ 37”; N. E. corner, 36° 33° 15"; N. W. corner, 36° 34’ 254. Its topographical relations are as follows: Itlies E. and W. 475 miles, N. and S. 100 miles. It is wide in the east, narrow in the west; low in the east, high iu the west; sounds and lakes east, mountains west. It has five topographical and climate divisions: 1. Seaboard, 50 feet elevation above the sea level. 2. Sandy pine barren, 100 to 200 feet elevation. 3. Hill country, 600 to 700 feet. 4. Piedmont, 1,000 feet. 5. Mountain plateau, 2,600 feet. The east end is thrust into the Gulf Stream and the west end is elevated. The effect is nearly the same as it would be if the State were turned half around and lay lengthwise up and down the coast. The winds meetin North Caro- lina and contend for the mastery; N. W. hot and dry; 8. W., hot and moist; N. E., cold. It cannot rain with a N. W. wind. The S. W. wind generally brings rain. The climate of North Carolina is dry, being about 60°, that of Ireland is 88°, London 80°, New Orleans 86°. North Carolina has every range of cli- mate, producing ALL KINDS OF VEGETATION, balsam, palmetto, hemlock, live oak.. It has more varieties of any one botonical species than any other portion of the giobe of the same extent. It has wild horses, whales and corals. The State is especially. suited for manufacturing. Our rainfall gives us a power equal to the whole steam power of England. The lecture was illustrated by maps, which displayed by means of lines the various features of climate described by Prof. Kerr. At night the subject of the lecture was upon GEOLOGY RELATING TO COAL. Coal is a combustible black stone. It was used by the Greeks, Romans and Britons. It is used chiefly to feed steam engines. The mining of coal was attend- ed by great danger until Sir Humphey Davy invented the safety lamp. Before that time the operations were either conducted in the dark or by the feeble light of phosphorescen, wood, usually called fox fire. A dangerous gas, called fire damp, accumulates in the coal mine, and explodes in contact with flame. Davy’s lamp cuts off the flame from the surrounding atmosphere by a covering of wire guage, through which the flame will not pass. Prof. Kerr visited a coal mine in Eng- land, went down a shaft 2500 feet deep in acar. The coal cars were continually ascending and descending, bringing up two tons of coal every minute. In the mines, 2500 feet underground, were peo- ple, horses, railways, a small village. Some of the men had not seen the light of day in thirty years. It was very warm, and the air had to be cooled by blasts of cool air blown in by the aid of the steam engine which was located in the hank near the shaft, 1,250 feet from the surface and furnished the power to carry on all the work. Coal, which is lower than 3,000 feet, cannot be mined, because at that depth the heat is too imtense to per- Mv egerereSoee sce pee eee eereeeebae eovermgeoeeace “Sth el 80 * seree oo acseg : .

If all the carbonic acid was con- verted into coal there would be a layer of coal 1 foot deep over the whole globe or 4 feet deep over the land. There ia more corbon in the air than in the coal beds. Most of the carbon exists in the form of limestone, and all this was also once in the atmosphere. Graplrite of black lead, petroleum or rock oil, and diamonds are all carbon as well as coal. Coal in the earth exists in layers of various thickness and at varying depths under ground. In Wales the formation contains 80 seams or layers of coal, aggregation 120 feet of coal and lying from a few hundred to 12,000 feet below the surface. A seam must be 2 feet deep to pay for working. In Pennsylvania some sifigle seams 100 feet deep have been found. Most of the seams are valueless, being less than 2 feet. A geologist can tell by the rocks of a country whether it has any coal and how deep the beds are. The earth is made of layers of rocks, and coal occurs in partic- ular layers. Coal must have formed very slowly, probably 1 yard,in 1,000 years. A Welsh coal bed of 120 feet of coal must have required 40,000 years to form. The coal near EGYPT in North Carolina is: 460 feet below the surface and the layer or seam is 5 feet thick. This lecture was well delivered and abundantly illustrated by means of maps. These two lectures should be delivered throughont the entire State and printed in pamphlet form for distribution. We regret our inability to give more than the above exceedingly hasty and meagre sketch. Ls ——- roe ELOQUENT EXTRACTS. Below we give to our readers a few ex- tracts from a lecture delivered before the Normal School at Chapel Hill, by Prof. A. W. Mangum, well known to our readers : “I have therefore concladed that I could find no subject more appropriate for an address before this association than THE BIBLE—THE TEXT-BOOK FOR ALL MEN AND FOR ALL AGES.” Prof. Mangum asked was the Bible sufficient to establish the truth and reveal the true character of God. An argument of some length clearly establised the great aims and truthfulness of the word of God. The Bible character of God shows itself more plainly and effectively when com- pared with the characters which have been assigned to “Jupiter of Mythology, the Krishm of Brahma of Paganism, the blind chance of the Fatalist, the crude fancy of materialism, the absurd omni- formity of the Pantheist or any or all of the multiform and transcedental vagaries of infidel philosophy. . , So the Bible is nota failure— but in ita own glorious sphere is still un- rivalled and victorious. Notwithstand- mg all this it has determined enemies. The irreligious in the learned world leave no theory untested that gives the faintest promise of its refutation. We note es- pecially three daring charges of modern infidelity. lst. It contends that the Bible is con- tradicted by known truths in science. 2nd.

The cleri- cal party have had their candidates, and have put forth their utmost strength, and they have been utterly defeated. This in Rome, where the Pepe and the goodness or badness of Romanism and Romish rule are better known than anywhere on earth! If the people of this country wish to be informed whether Romish supremacy in this country would be a blessing, the peo- ple of Rome are prepared to give testimo- ny on the subject. They have given it in the elections just held. The whole influ- ence of the clergy was exerted on the masses of the population, and the entire strength of the clerical party was polled. The result ie that they were utterly de- feated. Not one clerical candidate was elected.—S. W. Presbyterian. The following order, issued a week or ten days ago, is what caused the trouble on the Pennsylvania Railroad : NOTICE TO DISPATCHERS. On and after Thureday, July 19, 1877, two trains are to be run on Union and two trains on National Line through between Pittsburg and Altoona, thirty-six cars to a train, a pusher from Pittsburg to Derry, and a pusher from Conemaugh to Altoona. No passenger engines to be run on freight. Balance of trains to divide at Derry, first in and first out. Derry to be the head- quarters eastward, where engines will be’ turned. Between Derry and Pittsburg, all double-headers, thirty-six cars toa train, or as many as they can haul, to be increased or decreased in the judgment of dispatcher—according to lading in cars.

Thinking that some hen had “stolen her nest,” he followed up the chirp and found 4 yonng chicken fol - lowing a partridge. He carried the chicken to his house, and there related the circumstances to the lady members of his family. The ladies, prompted by cu- riosity, repaired to the place where the chicken was found, and during their search they discovered a partridge nest with six- teen partridge eggs and the shell of a hen’s egg, which accounted for the waif. The partridge eggs were carried home and placed under a sitting hen and much tothe surprise of the household, there were soon sixteen little partridges running around the yard. A few days subsequently the one little chicken could not be found any- where about the premises, but was after- wards discovered with the partridge in the woods two miles from the dwelling.

A piece of lace was magnified into a salmon net, a fiea was metamorphosed into an elephnat, and other like marvels were performed before the eyes of the venarable dame, who sat in silent astonishment, staring, open- mouthed, at the disk. But when at length a milliner’s needle was transformed into- a poplar tree, and confronted her with its huge eye, she could “hold in” no longer. “My goodness!” she exclaimed, “a camel could go through that! There’s hope for the rich folks yet.” ae - It has always been customary in Paris and other large cities, to name the streeta and boulavards after the members of the governing powers, and eminent statesmen and savanta, but it is also customary to change those names again at every over- throw of the government.

This rumbling of communism baying extended itself throughous the great rail road centres, like a blind, raging demon of destruction, has at last about spent its force and momentum. To the lovers of peace and justice the question naturally arises—Why all this, and who is to Dlame? Many vain guesses have been sent forth at times from the frail ark of man’s nn- aided reason, Spme attribute it to the retrenchjng policy of the administration. Some to the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few, while poverty js the sad fate of the many, Oth- ers (which seems to be the direct cause) lay the blame on purse prond arrogance pppressing the laboring masses by a con- tinued reduction of wages. That proper confidence which should exist between man and mgn js destroyed; as a conse- quence of the “huge drunk” of war and speculation. Strange that this hardness of times and want of employment should exist in a country whose granaries are bursting with plenty and whose coffers are horded with idle millions. The heart of a sympathiziug public beats responsive to that of honcst toil when oppressed or suffering. While re- Auction of wages is an object to be much deplored, yet it is quite evident that the ateps taken by the strikers to rectify these grievances can only be looked upon with indignation. “Sympathy for oppressed labor is not sympathy for rioters or out- jaws. Itisno longer a blow struck for justice. Pure water does not come from ‘a foul stream, legal tender from a sus- pended bank; nor can any good come from communism, and its consequences RIOT AND BLOODSHED. Many apparently well threaded arguments defending com- munism have been given, bat the good cit- jzens knows that “No florid prose or honored lies of rhyme Can blazon evil‘deeds or consecrate a crime.” Society has received a shock during the past weeka that will reverberate through- put the land for many days. Communism is but the frantic revels of brutal igno- rance and vagabondism associated with the ery of hate and envy agaipst the in- Austrious, and more fortungte in life. When this much dreaded fiend comes into the play the contraversy is no longer be- tween capital and labor, but anarchy tak ing arms agajnst the dignity of the law, What g haccanglean feast to thieves, ‘plug nglys,”. tramps, and the seum of society are these occasional outbursts of com- munism. Seciety is a vast machinery of wheels actipg ong on the other, Law isthe grrat driver wheel, aud without the ojl of peace all works harshly apd recjprocally wear- ing the driver. The proper replepjshing of this cruse of oil is necessary for the fignity of the nation—the bread and ease and eapital of the rich, the security of the cot as well as the mansion.

Thelower fall ¢on- | sists of abuut ahundred little cascades, somite two or three abreast, all the way dowd.

We asked old uncle Pomp the other day when was that show to take place. Show- ing hisivory and rolling those orbs in a rather revetential way towards the san, thus exhibiting the chalk quite prominently he said : “Young Mass, mighty hot—fire ia dat ting up dar.” From this remark we eonclude that as soon as it falls at le few degrees belowa hundred, we may look for an entertainment of dignified order, abounding in sparkling wit, and free from anything that would offend the eye or ear of the nfost fastidious. Madam Rumor & Miss Seachem can spread the news at gossips telegraph, that it will be ru en- tertainment of the age giving to all more than ordinary pleasure. Young and old pick your partners—ecome out and have a good old fashioned laugh, and break thé cobwebs of care from the mind. 0 A PLEASANT Arrair.—The character of a community is indicated by the nature and extent: of its educational enterprise. An intelligent and refined locality will almost invariably encourage and liberally patronize good schools and capable teach- ers. As we view the subject, Salisbury is entitled to favorable consideration in the foregoing particulars. We have ex- cellent tutors in our midst, and they have no reason to complain of want of patron- age. These remarks apply as well to the cultivation of the beaux arts as to the in- struction given in the more fundamental, necessary and practical departments of learning. The above refle¢tions were suggested by a pleasant little affair at Mrs. Phoebe Brown’s a few days since. That accommodating lady kindly tendered the use of her pleasant parlor to the Messrs. Neave, wherein themselves and | Our progress a great deal. | Clark insisted on ‘fishing up,” so that we and palette can do it half justice. We have not space to devote to other scenery, | though there is no end to the beaatiful in that section. ; FISHING AND HUNTING. By Monday following our arrival, Mr. Blackmer had made bair lines enough for fishicg purposes and preparations had been made for going intocamp. Westart- ed just after dinner—Capt. N. L. Whitley, with whem we were stopping, and Tom Clark, of Newbern, joined us. The deer drivers were to follow the next day. We had only gone several miles over the ruughest read in all the modntains, when a rain began to fall; but we were rough- ing it then and rain was no object, so on said would cut off several iniles, and ad- | vised us to take it, whieh we did, and we followed that path for three miles over | gles to the point we were in scarch of, but | we followed it till it led toa turkey | blind on the opposite side of the moup- | tain. We then walked back, sadly too the trail of the wagon aud followed it. We | caught up with it about three: miles from | | where we left it; the wagon had been ron } a small, rugged path. The horses were | taken out, every thing packed on them.— The sun was nearly down and we yet had | severgl miles of hard walking before we | could reach what is called Camp Rock. | We svon struck a corn patch, found a house and learned our way. The raio again poured down and our progress was very slow—the romance of the thing was dying fast. It had fallen to our lot to ride one of the pack-horses, with every- thing tied on behind the saddle, and the | | balance in front, our hands full, the pre- | vision bag in one and in the other a gun | and the reins. We followed up a deep‘ ravine through which ran a creek, | either bank of which was very steep, and | we had to ride our horse upon the edge of | these steep places, quite frequently drop- | ping some of our numerous bundles, or roiling off the horse ourself, thus delaying | Blackmwer and might have fish for supper, to which we | sembled guests a rare musical treat. The participants secured the ‘highest praise for both their judicious selections, and the excellent manner in which they were executed. Mr. and Mrs. Neave are thor- oughly proficient in their musical enlture, and eminently successful in the instrne- tion of others. These features were clear- ly manifested by the musicale above re- pupils, gave to the large number of as- | : | their load, left them to grope their way | the 6th.

We bad a heap of trouble in getting a tire start- | ed. A lamp was lighted and hung! on atree by the creek bank so that the | boys could tell where we were. They got in by eight o’clock with a nice string ot | fish. There was a deck of ecards along, x. ferred to. Every one present apparently derived unqualitied pleasure from their | part in the above endeavor. It is safe to | say that all went home with a desire for | the early repetition of what they had so| mueh enjoyed. Oo-— OUR MOUNTAIN TRIP. We boarded the Western bound train, | Wednesday the 18th of July, in company | with W.C. Blackmer for a short moun- | tain trip. We found on the train Bro. Davis of the Torch Light and Robt. Best reporter for the Ral. Observer. At States- ville Bro. Ramsey of the Landmark got got a glimps of Chas. R. Jones of the Char- lotte Observer. We felt-as if we were go- ing to another press association. We telegraghed J. S..Tomlinson of*the Press to meet us at Hickory, which he did, and sueceeded in hauling Davis off. Ramsay was on his way to Asheville to see bis girl, and Blackmer was making trout lines of horse hair and we were thinking of deer, and so full of thése things were we, that Tomlinson’s many indueements to stop at Hickory were little heeded. We left Ramsay at Old Fort to finish his trip alone, and to anticipate the reception he was to get from his fair one at Asheville. OLD FORT. It was dark and raining when we arriv- ed at Old Fort. We could see very little until next morning. This place has grown a good deal since we last visited it. There are now, some twenty or twenty-five dwellings, three good stores and one steam mill. D.C. Salisbury is, building a new t-mill. They doa thriving business and they drew to see Who should be cook | (the cards were carried along for that pur- pose). It fell te our lot; we cleaned the | trout, sliced some bacon, and rolled up a piece of it and a fish in some large } leaves and baked in the ashes. After we had prepared the meats, Capt. Whitley | untied the provision bag—it will be re- | membered that it had been and was still | rainiug—which had been carried on_ the horses until thoroughly soak’d. Everything had been tied in separate budles and plac- ed in the bag—now, there were no bun- | dles—only one mass well mixed. The crackers were broken to pieces and swell- ed, the nice rolls an: biscuit mashed, the bviled beef aad a picce of raw bacon, a| cake of soap, a bundle of salt, ditto of | pepper, a bottle of vinegar, out of which | the stopper was lost, afew extra bolts and straps, all nicely mixed—this was the con- | tents of that bag. We sorter straighten- | ed things out and proceeded tdé™Bupper. | This was camp life. We were trying it. After supper we cleaned up things and put them away in the cupboard—in the wet bag, we mean—and proceeded to make ourselves comfortable for the night. | This Camp Rock is on the steep side of a mountain, and projects out some 12 feet, making something of a cave, with about 9 by 12 feet shelter. About the centre we made our bed, and at about 10 o’clock p. m., turned off the gass and rolled in. About 12, p. m. a perfeet storm prevailed, and the roof leaked until our bed floated in 2 inches of water, more or less. This sortcr roused us ; for two, at least, of the party had not slept. We concluded to make’g fire; each tried by turn, our turn coming first, but we failed; next mau-tried i staves and locust pins.

While thus regail- ing our weatied ‘self, a deer driver pass- ea with his hounds and horn; but these did not wake us, so sound was the sleep. Had not a cup of water accidently fallen from Whitley’s hand into our face we might have missed the hunt. After hastily dis- patching our frugal meal, we droped 13 Luck-shot in each of the barrels of our sLot-gua and followed the directions left us to the stand. In half an hour we were on the spot, both hammers raised and in a niake-ready-aim-fire attitude, watching in all directions. A strange feeling came over us, cold chills played hide and seek on our back. We lowered our piece to an ‘order arms” and looked around, then let down one hammer, theu the other, sorter sick—a puff of wind stirred the we went—Clark and ourself walking. | leaaves—we sprang to our feet with hair Capt.

Presently, some- thing suggested suakes—we thought over | : s ast 8) the moyntains in a direetion at right an-|the matter, cautiously looking around, Finally the thing beeame nnbearable, when we shifted position—found a bare place without any bushes, logs or rocks, and statiéned in the middle of this, the hours passed slowly by. Tiring of this, we tramped back to camp. The boys were just coming up from the creek, hav- | ‘up the side of a hill—they, too, had taken | ing been more successful than we. They, | the wrong road which had dwindled into; two, had taken 180 fine trout during the | day. Preparations were now being madg for leaving eamp, when the deer-driver came up. He had run a deer, which had gone through the upper» pass—this ac- counts for “ye local’s” not. bagging the game. Noone had “buek fever” on this tript. It was hard walking that brought the party in to Old Fort about 9 o'clock that night. A good supper and a change of clothing (for we had not been dry since we started out) made us quite comforta- ble. We visited a great many other places of interest, but we have already made this too long and must wait for another time. We must say, that the Mountains of W. North Carolina is the best and cheapest place we know of to spend our hot and sultry summers. Te BUSINESS LOCAL aah Mr. John Y.

SSS THE HOUSEKEEPER. Stains oN Woop.—Stains and spots may be taken out of mahogany furniture by the use of a little oxalic acid and wa- ter. Rub the spot with the liquid by means of a cork until the color is restor- ed, then wash the wood with water; dry and polish as ysual with wax, When cottons or jinens-are injured by rust, nutgall, ink, ete., moisten them with warm solution of oxalic acid, or with di- luted muriatic acid, or granulated tin. When the spots disappear, wash in suds ; boil and rinse in the usual manner. If the color is surely fast, colored cotton and worsted articles can be benefited by dip- ping the spots several times in weak cit- ric acid—then sponge off. Sweeping Cagprets.—To sweep a car- pet thoroughly with a broom, take a pint of meal and a half pint of salt aud moisten them together with just water enough to keep the meal from flying about, nat wet enough to stick to the carpet, sprinkle pretty thickly on one side of the room, and sweep straight across; add a little more meal as the dust begins to fly—this cleans the carpet nicely, too, Wu Ducks.— Pare a fresh lemon very earefully, without breaking the thin white skin, put it inside a wild duck and keep it there for forty-eight hours, and all of the fishy taste so disagreeable in wild fowls will he removed. The lemon should be remeved and a fresh one put jo ita place as often as every twelve hours. A lemon thus prepared will absorb unpleasant fla- vors from almost all meat or game. Porato SaLap.—Cut six or eight cold boiled potatoes into even slices, and put into a salad dish. Cut fine and sprinkle ayer the potatoes a teaspoonful of parsly, and a little sult and cayenne, a tae cap of good cream until it is very smooth and foamy; pour over the pota- toes, and mix carefully, so as not to break the slices, A little prepared mustard, and a few stalks of white celery chopped fine, are an addition. Thia {laa good dish for a hearty lunch.

He had an irresistable propensity to back. He seemed to be impressed with 8 conviction that nature had pat his hind Jegs in front, and that he could see with his tail, and whenever I attempted to start him he always proceeded stern fore- most, until I whipped him asavagely, and then he would go jn # proper manner, but suddenly, aud with the air of a horse who had 3 conviction that there was @ lunatic jn the carriage who dido’t know what he was about, One day, while we were coming down the street the theory became so strong that he suddenly stopped and backed the carriage through the plate-glass window of Mackey’s drug store, . After that I always hitched him up with his head toward the carriage, and then he seemed to fee) better contented, only some- times he became to socialable, and used to put his head over the dasber and try to chew my legs or to eat up the lap- cover, Besides, the peculiar arrangement of the animal excited ‘unpleasant remarks when I drove out, and when I wanted to atop, and would hitch him by the tail to a post, he had a very disagreeable way of reaching out with his bind legs, and sweeping the side-walks whenever he saw anybody that he felt as if he would like to kick. He was not much of a saddle-horse; not that he would attempt to throw his rider, but whenever a saddle was put on him it made his back itch, and he would always insjat upon rubbing jt against the first tree, or fence, or corner of a house that he came to, and if he could bark the rider’s leg he seemed to be better content- ed. The last time I rode him was upon the day of Aleck Bunger’s wedding. I had on my best suit, and on the way to the festival there wasa creek to be forded. When the horse got into the middle of it, he took q drink, and then looked around at the acenery, down in the water, By the time he was sufficiently rested, I was ready to go home. : a * § " is {r, Lovel] (says Max Adeler) sends the % publication.

We all feel sure that if all the precepts of this volume were absorbed and transmuted fnto the actions of men. The astoanding fact is that the Bible is the only book in the world that will bear full and permanent translation into life. The careless and superficial sometimes do not distinguish from each other the Biblical gecord and the Biblical inculcation. I know that fearful things are recorded in the Bible concerning men who, in some respects, were approved of God; but it is the Biblical inculeation which I pro- nounce free from the adulterate elements, not the Biblical record, Of course, in & mirror held up before the human heart there will be reflected blotches; but the inculeation of the Scriptures from the be- ginning to the end of sixty-six pamphle.s is known by experience to be free from adulturate elements, and I defy the world to show any disease that ever has come from the absorption into the veins of the ages of the Biblical ineuleation. And, moreover, I defy the ages to show any other book that could be absorbed thus in its inculeations and not produce dizziness of the head, pimples on the skin, stag- gering at last, and the sowing of dragon's teeth. There is something very peculiar about this one book, in the incontroverti- ble fact that its inculcations are preserved from such error as would work out, in moral disease in the world.—Rev. Joseph Cook. . a A witty French lady who was an “adopted” member of a famous military corps, when a cigar was lighted in her pres- ence with the remark, “I suppose they smoke in your regiment?” said, “Yes, but not in my company.” A writer says that candles with only four or five threads in the wicking make and steadier, giving more light (unless those with larger wicks are constantly snuffed) and do not use mure than two- thirds as much tallow. ———— SicNs oF THE TimES.—Thbe Turco-Rus- sian war reminds Mrs. Partington that just before our own “‘little unpleasantness” circumstances were seen around the moon The next day he was taken sick.

So the Colonel bled him for me. swallowed a hoop-skirt. chains. Then I sent for a horse doctor, and he said there was nothing the matter with the horse but heaves, and he left some medicine ‘‘to patch up his wind.” The result was the horse coughed for two days as if he had gone into galloping consumption, and between two of the coughs he kicked the hired man through the partition, and bit our black-and-tan terrier in half. I thought perhaps a little exercise might improve his health, sol drove him one day, and he proceeded in such a peculiar manner that I was afraid he might sud- denly come apart and fall to pieces. When we reached the tup of White House Hill, which is very steep by the road, he stopped, gave sort of a shudder, caughed a couple of times, kicked a fly off his near shoulder with his hind leg, and then laid down and calmly rolled over the bank. I got aut of the carriage before he fell, and I watched him pitch clear down to the valley beneath, with the vehicle drag- ging after him. When we got to him he was dead, and the man at the farm- house elose by said he had the blind stag- gers.

His leg was swelled more than twice its natural size. He bad several doctor: of high standing in their profes- sion—two from! -ton and three from Charlestown —without gettin, . bit better. He was obliged to lie wherever he was placed, for he had no use of his limbe whatever. When we had given up all hopes ot bis living we were told to try VEG STINE, the great blood remedy ; and be had taken it but a short time before we could see a great change. The sores ran so bad that we bad to chanze the cleths four or five times a day. Still, he was Fetting better; for pe could move bis limbs and help himeelf a little.

THE WINDOW, BY VIRGINIA F, TOWNSEND, gue opened the window and stood there , pement, dusting the sashes, and look- ing out on the bits of grassy slope beneath the road beyond. A face just about to slip into ite twenties, with its fine bloom of youth, its hint of some perfected charm of refinement and womanhood which the years to come would ‘bring out there ; a delicate face, with soft, bright coloring of cheeks and lips, and wide blue eyes, which pad seen little of life,and that little not its brightest side. “As Rath Aldrich stood there, she caught the sound of rolling wheels coming down the road in the crisp air of the pleasant May. morning, and a moment after the carriage rolled pass—a handsome carriage, with its'sletder grays, and its coachman in livery, and the lady sitting inside, wrapped in her India shawl and costly lace hat, which saw the light this morning for the first time siuce it was boxed a couple of weeks ago in Paris, lvoked out and saw the pleasant picture of the girl standing in the window, and their eyes met a moment, and both had their thoughts. Ruth Aldrich drew a long sigh as the carriage rolled out of sight. ‘“‘What did it mean that some people had to have a long struggle with poverty all their lives?” she wondered. ‘“‘What did God mean by lavishing his gifts so bountifully on one, ani denying everything to others? It seemed very hard, very cruel.” The girl’s heart was swelled up a mo- ment with a hard, bitter sense of injustice. Why did He close up ber youth in these thick walls, and set this house of poverty at all the gutes of her life? It was mak- ing her old before her time, but then she did not see as that mattered much. A litle smile, full of bitterness and pain, creeping now across the red sweetness of | heryouth. She was sick of this life, witlt at the gate. itis almost nine o’clock then, that-dreadful sickness of heart and s6ul which came over her at times. Such a beautiful world as it was, too! full of light and grace, warmth and beauty. Her youth stung with passionate longings, fur all these things. Whathad she done, that hey should be denied her from the begin- ning? Her soul was hungry; she was greedy for knowledge, life, change; and money would bring all these. It brought them to the woman who had gone by in her luxurious carriage, with her liveried footman. Ah, if ouly a few crumbs from the heapen banquets of that fair woman’s life would only fall to her own lot! What did one know of care and denial, and the brooding dread hanging over and darken- ing every moment of the other’s life, the one sitting there in her pampered ease, and looking out with an idle curiosity at the strange faces which met her as she rolled past ? And yet, if Ruth Aldrich had been born in an atmosphere of ease and comfort ; if the books she craved, the pictures she loved so, the life, grace, color, had sur- rounded her from her birth, she would have been a lady, too--gracions, and sweet, and bountiful. But the wolf was at the door, with its dark, fierce, hungry face; ithad always been since she could re- member. There seemed no chance but it always would be. So you see\that this poverty had been intertwined with all the childhood of Ruth Aldrich ; it had been at the bottom. of all the sordid shifts, the constant denial, the long misery of her life, that she had grown to regard it as the one evil in the world, just as riches seemed to hold all its hap- piness, and light, and joy. Wealth was the one thing that brought with it all freedom, peace, gladness; through whose channels flowed strong, and full, and sweet, the wine and the juices of human life. Poor girl! It was not strange, when you came to think of it, that Ruth Aldrich had arrived at this conclusion. She was the eldest of the three children, two of them having been invalids from their birth. Her father was one of that class of men who seem to have been born for no earthly purpose in the world, unless it be to serve aa a victim for all sorts of shrewd impositions. Many men tried their hands at plucking John Aldrich, until he was too bare to tempt further effort. In fact, had the man owned the Indies at the start, it would have fallen through his hands like water through a scive. Few men have started in lite with fairer prospects of success ; no man could make a more disastrous failure, in whatever he set his handsto do. The truth was John Aldrich fancied himself a genius, thau which he could not have made a greater mistake. His head was always full of inventions that were to revolutionize society, and confer inestimable benefit on mankind. But all his schemes lacked practicability, his Only merit being that he believed in them with absolute faith himself, and Could talk well about them when he found alistener, One after another of his inventions in Mechanics had fallen to the ground, but 4€ man’s enthusiasm had not waned with ‘8 years. He was now in his sixties, dry, Wizened, old, feeble. His fortune—and he came of good stock, and hada fair one atthe beginning—was all wasted away, As he was a fine penman, he had for years managed to keep the souls and bodies of his family together by getting one situa- Hon and other as copyists and book-keep- !

The wife of Aldrich was just the wo- man such 4 sort of man ought never to have taken, ‘Eergy, ‘shrewdness, force might to some degree have compensated for his short-comings ; but these were not inher. She had been a beanty in et youth. Care and disappointment, ernel enough to have tried the finest and strong- est nature, shrivelled Hers into @ narrow, fretful, nervous, broken-spirited woman. Mrs, Aldrich still clang to the memories of “better days ;” gathered their faded remuants around the forlorn present, and brought up her family on a handful of axioms: of gentility, which had proven current in the social circle where she had moved once, admired and petted. But 4 of God. Still, Mrs. Aldrich tried to live up to her light, only pity being that it was such a farthing candle to guide her through the mists and murk of the world, where the poor tired feet stumbled so of- ten. ‘ You can imagine, with the data I have given you, all the strains and sordid shifts to which the family were reduced to make both ends meet ; or, if they could not do that, to keep their foothold in the world together. It is the old story, always pathetic and pitiful, in its countless rep- utations of pride and poverty. These twain always lay down with the poor lit- tle forlorn family at night, and rose up with them in the morning, and followed aud bunted them through all the day, and ; crept a dark boding spectre through all | their dreams. If yon smile or sneer over this, then be sure neither your mind nor heart is to be envied. But I come to Ruth Aldrich, who is the figure in the foreground of my story. Standing there in the little front parlor, she hears a shout of small, rough voices and she must go to the treadmill again. She does not always look at the work in just that light, but at the best it is hard enough steering those dozen cvarse boys through the alphabet and the rudiments of geography and arithmetic. For sever- al years ago this girl found out there was something for ber to do in the world, an . without any friends or any opportunities self in the quiet old inland town, whose | life-pulse beat steadiest and strongest in its manufactures. Of course, Rath could not god into the factories to work, so she set about teaching a boys’ infant school, and managed to bring together in the dark little front basement of their cottage a dozen small, clumsy, tow-headed ur- chins. In this display of energy, Ruth Aldrich certainly showed ber grain. She had a fine, strong soul, alert and hungry for knowledge and opportunities; but the cold iron grasp of the spectre lay heavily upon her. The family would have disin- tegrated long ago, if that little school of Ruth’s had not formed the attractive force which held it together. Yet it was mis- erably insufficient to meet the demands of each day, for clothes would wear out, and grocers’ bills would fall due; and, as the years gathered upon him, the eyes and hands of John Aldrich grew feeble, and work grew less. Then there was the quar- ter’s rent. The thought of that was the terror of Ruth’s life. She reflected some- times, with a smile that was pathetically at strife with the youth of her face, that there would be some day a roof to cover them all, for which no landlord would ever come to demand the rent. Of late, things had been growing from bad to worse. Quarter day was drawing near, and, strain every nerve and dollar aa they might, the money would not be ready at the time. Then the grocer’s boy was surly for the month’s bill hung due. If it were not for the rent, they might weather the storm ; but there it was, and there was Rob, with his delicate, intellect- ual face. Ah, if that boy could only have training and a chance, what latent power there was in him! And there was Grace, with her dozen years, and only two be- hind Rob; a fair young child, that only constant watchfulness and care had brought over so many birthdays. And there were the old father and the worn aud faded mother. Yet the sunshine of that May morning came throagh the open window, with its overflowing warmth and beauty. It show- ed the little parlor to the very best ad- vantage, with all its shabbiness, and its air of faded gentility. Ruth looked around it, with some sadness working and work- ing in her face. Then the great tears swelled in her eyes, and she felt their warm, salt plash upon her lips. Was there no end toallthis? Must thetrouble which began at her cradle go on io her grave? If she could only see her way out of it somewhere! If the prince, brave, and strong, and noble, who stood in her thoughts, the knight without fear and without reproach, as he does in the dreams of every maiden among her twenties—if he would only come and say, with his strong, tender voice, “Dearly beloved, I will lift yon out of this! come to me!” But then there were the others. She could not leave them, each face coming before her, a sad, pathetic reproach in it —the old worn face of the father ; the pale one of the mother, with the hunted look she set herself at that which presented it- | aie et nothing lying before her, yuty the same }narrow, contracted, hopeless life, draining slowly the springs of her life, its dew, and its honey; the same dall routine, teaching the and meanwhile Rob wanted a pair of shoes, garden gate in her shabby winter Gress. Just then the town clock rang. R Aldrich wiped her cheeks, and carried Mrs. Richmond leaned back in ‘her car- Tige with something in her eyes which had not been there before she caught sight of that girl’s face in the window, with the this was staryiny nourishment for apsbine in the soft bair all aboutit. It was young, bright,’ vigorous’ x “ve ‘Be trang how tat face, cena a vision, | had gone down into the very quick of Mrs. Richmond's soul, and stirred up the mem- ories which had lain long in the mould of the years. They came back thick upon her soul now— the old, warm, juicy, vital days of her youth, the old light and color, the old scent clinging to them. She drew off her gloves from her delicate white bands and look at them with ber mouth in a kind of a quiver, and a light growing all over her face, that brought back aguin its vanish- ing girlish youth. Not that there wasany sign of decay in Mrs. Walden Richmond’s face, only the full ripeness of youth. She was far up in her thirties now; but no- body would have believed that, looking into her face as the strong light fell upon it like something it loved. A rare face, with eyes that were, perhaps, its highest beanty, eves of a dark, brilliant hazel, a clear, chief-tinted complexion, and a deli- cate, high-bred moulding of features. The light now, which gave that rare, subtile softness and tenderness to her face, did not come from outside; it had its springs down deep in the woman’s nature. All the little peevishness and weariness which at times settled about the mouth were gone pow. Her first youth, her old, careless, dreaming, golden girlhood had come back, and filled the prond woman’s soul, as the waves fill the sands when the tides come in. . She was sitting in her carriage no long- er, among the rich dark blue cushions with the crimson grays and the liveried coachman ; she was wandering among the roses and currant bushes of the dear old home ; she was in the wide, pleasantrooms of the old house, with its ample chambers and its wide passages; she was singing with the birds; she was out in the quiv- ering and flashing of the sunshine: those long, sweet, lazy, happy days that came now, with their still feet and smilling faces, slipping across all the years, and took her once more straight into their hearts, into the very home-throb and heat of the dear old times. There are old faces, gay and wizened, there are old, dried withered lives to whom this youth comes back, sometimes stirring the whole soul with the old heat and fire; and the light comes back wide and strong into the dull eyes and among the thick wrinkles, and the faded, sunken mouth will quiver and melt, and for awhile the old heart will be revived with the juices of its youth. Everything that beart could desire seem- ed to have fallen to the lot of Mrs. Walden Richmond. She was the wife of one of the richest and most influential men in the part of the State where they resided. Walden Richmond bad inherited a for- tune, and had added to this an hundred- fold by his business sagacity and foresight. He was not an ordinary man in any sense. He had that kind of personal influence’ which belongs frequently to a strong will and a certain magnetic power of manner. People who were brought in contact with him liked the man, and he had some na- tive generosity of character which always made him kindly and thoughful with in- feriors. He had been sent to Congress from his own district several times, and every office which it had to copfer of in- fluence and position was at the disposal of Waldeu Richmond. Not an old man yet, but well in his forties. Like his wife, he did not look his years; a haudsome man, everybody said, with his brown beard and hair, and his bright, keen, pleasant face. The Richmonds had no children, If they ever regretted this, neither admitted it tu the other. Both husband and wife had costly tastes, and their means warrented the indulgence of them to their heart’s content, (TO BE CONTINUED.) $< -———_____ Normal School Debating Society to Have a Celebration.—At the commencement of the session a Normal School Debating So- ciety was instituted.

The man or woman who is above labor, and despises the laborer, shows a want of common sense and forgets that every ar- ticle that is used is the product of more or less labor and that the air they breathe and the circulation of blood in the veins, is the result of the labor of the God of na- ture. Washington and his lady were ex- amples of industry, plainness, frugality and economy; and thousands of others of the wealthy labored in the field and kitchen, in olden times, before folly su- perceded wisdom, and fashion drove econo- my and common sense off the track. The necessity imposed on man to labor is un- questionably a great blessing, as much as many are opposed to it, aud others flee from it. In those countries and districts of country where the greatest amount of labor is required to obtain the necessaries of life, we find the most vigorous, healthy and athletic inhabitants.—Where nature has done most for man, in providing forhis bodily wants, we find him most destitute of the solid comforts oflife. In the high lands of Scotland, on the mountains of Circassia, amidst the hills of Norway, the people are happier, by fur more robust, and more euvergetic than in effeminate Spain or im- poverished Italy. In our own country, rock-bound New England, the long range ofthe Alleghany Mountains, and their numerous spurs and valleys, support a hardly race of men. ——-—- + -e-e_ A Harp Times Note. A curious illus- tration of the effect of the hard times have had on Wilmington, Del., says the Commercial of that place, “is found in the business done in money order department at our postoffice. In good times, when the shops here were generally busy, the postoffice received more money to be sent away than came to it, a great many men from other places having work here and sending a portion of their earnings home to their families. Now the balance is the other way, the office receiving about $100,000 annually to send away and pay- ing out about $118,000. Some Wilming- ton mechanics have obtained work else- where, and are sendiug home money to their families here, while moncy is actual- ly reaching here from England and Scot- land to maintain natives of those coun- tries here, or to enable them to return to the old country. This is certainly a con- dition of affairs we are not likely to be proud of nor to take comfort in.” —__ Don't Box Your Children’s Ears.—The drum of the ear is as thin as paper, and is stretched like a curtain between the air outside and that within ; and thus having nothing to support it, and being extreme- ly delicate, a slap with the hand on the side of the face, made with the force which sudden and violent anger gives it, has in multitudes of cases ruptured this delicate membrane.

Jones, of the Charlotte Observer, offered the following resolution : ‘Resolved, That this Convention has re- ceived with pleasure a communication from His Excellency, Hon. R. B. Hayes, President of the United States, and re- grets that the unfortunate condition of the country prevents his being with us, and Convention tenders to him its unfeigned thanks for his efforts to restore peace and quietude to the country.” And what was the result? Why, the resolution was unanimously adopted. Yes, a convention composed largely of delegates fairly representing the highest type of Southern manhood, unanimously tenders to President Hayes “its unfeigned thanks for his effurts to restore peace and quietude to the country.” Extreme Dem- ocratic organs will please crowd on a lit- tle more steam.— Wil.

New York, August 2—The announce- ment that Townsend, Mouthort & Co., auctioneers, would sel] seventeen hundred and seventy-five case of Richmond prints, calicoes at trades sale at their salesroom, 79 and 8] Leonard street, to-day, by or- der of the agents of the manufacturers, attracted a large number of dry goods nerchants from all the principal cities of the Union, to the sale. The auctioneer stated that instead of seventeen hundred and seventy-five cases as advertised, he would sell about twenty-two hundred cases of goods. The sale was then begun, and the bidding was lively and spirited. About twenty-two hundred cases of gray and fancy prints known to the trade as “firsts,” averaging about twenty-nine handred yards to a case, were disposed of for six to six aud a half cents per yard, the average price being six and three- eightscents. One hundred and sixty-eight cases of ‘‘seconds,” about twenty-nine hundred yards of each, were sold at five and three-fourths, and five and seven- eights cents. The demand was so great that two thousond more could have easily been sold. Harper's Weekly says there are “‘unmis- takable signs of wide and deep dissatis- faction in the Republican ranks,” and that ‘‘it is*undeniable that discontent and indignation may lead to sullen inactivity, may defeat the Republicans in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York:” DAROLINA | T hw ‘ee owitness: by the | , 21 pS ore the com- |.) ) t eS Mai te sor S F - x srohave beet ha ve te ‘emai eres + me re ghia eid) BAS MP as see ’ oe WEILY Mort bal le Dood a the ‘ate ; _— si | < Pr Tag ig tot bid —just as the Republican in South Carolina and Mississippi. The New England idea of overthrowing the! Southern system of labor, by armed con- cn sulted in such an upheavel of Northern labor that it amounts to a revolution, hints of anarchy, and has, banished peace and confidence from many homes and counting houses. Even in Europe, the foreign bondholder, who gets twice as much interest on our Government secu- rities as he can from the monarchies of the Old World, trembles in his boots. The profits of the war, in and out of Con- gress, are rapidly perishing, Here and there a man can be found who enriched himself at the expense of the people; but the bulk of shoddy fortunes has withered like Jonah’s gourd. The bondholder, here and abroad, who bought bis securities at from thirty te sixty per cent on the paper dollar, and who insists upon pay- ment at par in gold, still soars aloft in fancied pride of place; but even he may have to share in the common calamity, since it has been demonstrated that the whole fabric of the East and West is eor- rupt and rotten; and if such masses should organize, under universal suffrage, there is no telling what the consequences may be.—Augusta Chronicle, Dem. <> __ __ INQUIRIES FROM ABROAD.—His Excel- lency, Gov. Vance, received a letter re- cently from a prominent minister of the Baptist Church at Still River, Massachu- setts, making inquiry in regard to land and many other things in this State, such as persons would nuturally desire to be informed of who contemplate emigrating to a new State or territory. The letter states that a number of farmers and me- chanics of good moral habits, and with means to purchase and improve lands, de- sire to seek homes in some portion of country where they can enjoy a more equable climate than that of New England. That they had had their attention direct- ed to Florida, but the writer is of opinion that North Carolina. would be preferable, provided they can be satisfied on the points in regard to which he writes for infurma- tion. The writer, Rev. Daniel Round, in- timates an intention of visiting the State if he can make arrangements to do so, for personal inspection.—Raleigh News. We have recently had a similar letter for sale, or knowing where large bodies of lands can be obtained, are advised to report them to us. ~—a Does FarminG Pay ?—In conversation with a distinguished citizen of this State yesterday, this thought was suggested by him. He said many people think farm- ing does not pay, but when you consider the enormous interest our farmers pay in oue way and another, it is astonishing that they have anything. When aman fails at everything else he goes to farming, and buys everything on a credit, and bor- rows money at a high rate of interest, and because he does not hake money he thinks there is no money in farming. This is true, and when we think of the matter we can at once see that those who fail to make money farming are the men who borrow money at from 12 to 18 and sometimes 20 per cent., or purchase guano that sells for $40 per ton, at $60 on a credit, and other articles in like pro portion. There is no business that aman can engage in that can stand this pressure, and it is just as certain as fate that he who undertakes it will meet in the end, the sheriff—or bankruptcy. There is not in our knowledge a farmer who attends to his business, who pays cash for what he buys, without paying interest for it, that has failed since the war. Men who bor- row money break in almost any kind of business. The men who lend it get rich. “Pay as you go” is a good maxim, and ap- plies to farmers as well as other men.— Atlanta Constitution. ——-- -—- ~<a -- — - —— A Case of Sunstroke. Mr. Samuel R.

The South has a keener perception of the dangers of a large stand- ing army than the North can have; besides the southern States are more firm- ly established in the doctrine of States rights, and more confident in their ability to preserve order without the ajid of fed- eral bayonets, than the Northern. With good, true, and brave native sons of the South at the helm of our State govern- ments we shail rarely if ever have occas- ion to invpke the aid of the Federal gov- ernment to preserve or restore order.

Mr. Eprrorn: Please intercede with the a fathers not to commit the folly of again filling up holes and bad places in our streets —_ — taken from cellars and excava- tions, rely men ht to learn something by experience. And 9 atandenst teaches any- thing In the matter of putting red clay in our streets, it is thatit is the worst thing that could bedone, Better, very much better, er than have clay placed upon them, It may look well in summer and anawer pose; but winter will come and the conse quences of the error are kuown to all who our streets at that season. . Our correspondent S. is right. The red clay is certainly very unsuitable for the purpose for which it is employed. The material for filling holes should corres- pond as nearly as possible to that of which the street is composed, otherwise the difference must result io damage. Red clay is too soft and yielding for the graveled streets, and in wet weather will cut up and spread out over the street making travel more difficult and the road ways wore offensive. Hard stones would be almost as bad, for while filling one hole with them you will have produced a condition favorable fur making two holes instead of one—one on each side of the stone filling. A little—just a little— common sense ruling in this matter wil] dictate the necessity of homogeniety in the quality of material employed for filling holes, for its well known to every body that a road composed of hard and soft materials will inevitably fall into holes. eee a ene Rowan Sabbath School Association.

The Manchester builders have instructed their agent here to send them between twoand three hundred workmen. The object of | the Manchester builders is said to be to | defeat a strike of carpenters in Manchester by employing American workmen at less wages than the English carpenters will accept. This seems. to be a temporary measure, so far, but it is worthy ef note | that of 150 masons who went to England | on similar conditions last year only six | have thus far returned.—N. Y. World let.

The men say that if they could possibly obtain a live- lihood in America they would stay here, but the labor market is so overerowded and work so uncertain that they have been driven to emigration. A pale thin- faced carpenter, who was one of the out- going party yesterday, being asked why he was leaving his country said, “Well, if I stay here I’ve got to steal, or get chuck- ed out on the sidewalk because I can’t pay my rent. I have had nothing but an oc- casional day’s work for three months.” Another of the company, who a year ago bad $300 in a New York savings bank, had been forced to draw it all out during the past year for living expenses.—N.

The MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO. have the honor to announce that the organs of their manufacture have been ‘unanimously assigned “the FIRST RANK in the SEV- ERAL REQUISITES of instruments of the class” by the Judges at the CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION at Philadelphia, ‘1876, and are the ONLY INSTUMENTS OF THIS .GEN- ERAL CLASS AWARDED THIS RANK. This is after the severest competition by the | best makers, before one of the most competent juries ever assembled. They have also received the MEDAL, but, as is well known, medals of équal merit have been awarded all articles’ deemed worthy o1 recognition ; so that it will be easy for many makers to advertise that they have received “firat medals.” The differences in competing articles, and their comparative excellence, are recognized in the Reports of the Judges, from which the following is an extract: “THE MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO.’s exhibit of Reed Organs and Har- oniums shows Instruments of the F ANK IN THE SEVERAL RE- & S OF INSTRUMENTS OF HE CLASS: viz.: Smoothness and equal distribution of tone, scope of expression, resonance ing qual- ity,. freedom and quickness in action o eys and bellows, with thorongh- ness of wor manship, combined with simplicity of action.” (Signed by ali the Judges.) The Masun and Ham- lin Organs ar- thus declared to rank first, not in one or two respects only, but in the SEV- EKAL REQUISITES of such instruments, and they are the ONLY ones assigned this rank. This triumph was not unexpected, for the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs have uniformly been awarded the highest honors in competitions in America, there having been scarcely six exceptions in hundreds ot competitions.

Mr. Brown kept boarders. Around his table sat Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Andrews, the village milliner; Mr. Black, the baker; Mr, Jordon, carpenter, and Mr, Hadley, a flopr, feed and lumber t, Mey Bysird took out of his pocket book a ten dollar note, and handed it to Mrs. Brown, saying: “Here, my dear, are ten dollars toward the twenty I promised you,” Mrs. Brown handed it tq Mra, Andrews, the milliver, saying: “That pays for my new bonnet.” Mrs. Andrews said to Mr. Jordon, as she handed him the note ; “That will pay you for your work on my counter.” Mr. Jordon handed it to Mr. Hadley, the flour, feed and lumber merchant, re- questing his lumber bill. Mr. Hadley gave the note back to Mr. Brown, saying ; “That pays ten dollara an board.” Mr. Brown passed it to his wife, with the remark that that paid her twenty dollars he had promised. She in turn paid it to Mr. Black to settle her bread and pastry account, who handed it to Mr. Hadley, wishing credit for the amount on his flour bill, he again returning it to Mr. Brown, with the remark that it settled for that month’s board. Whereupon Mr. Brown put it back jntg his pocket-book exclaiming that he “never thought a ten- dollar bill. would go so far.” Thus a ten-dollar gueenback was made to pay ninety-dollars indebtedness inside of five minutes.

How did the fire take 3 “The man plaved with fire and thought- lessly set it himself.” ‘How silly! Did you say the lot was burned, too ?”’ “Yes, lot and all. clean.” . ‘“‘That’s singular. It must haye been a terribly hot fire—and then I don’t well see how it could burn the lot.” ‘No, it was not a large fire, nor a very hot fire. Indeed it was go small that jt attracted but little attention.” ‘But how could such a little fire burn up a house and lot? You have not tald me.” “It burned a lopg time—more than twenty years—and though it seemed to consume very slowly, yet it wore away about one hundred and fifty dollars’ worth every year, until it was all gone.” “I can’t quite understand you yet. Tell me about it,” “Well, it was kindled in the end ofa cigar. The cigar cost him, he himself told me, twelve and a half dollars a month, or Qp@ hundred and fifty dollars a year; and that in twenty-one years would amount to $3,150, besides all the interest, Now the whole sum wouldn’t be far from $10,000. That would pay for a fine house and lot. It would pay for a large furm in the country.” “Whew! I guess you mean me, for I have smoked more than twenty years; put I didn’t know it cost as much as that. And I haven't any house of my own, Have always rented—thonght I was too poor to own a house. And all because I have been burning it up! Whew, what 9 fool I have been.” Boys had better never set fire which costs so wach, and which, though it might be so easily. put out, is yet so likely, if once kindled, to keep burpjng all their lives, i ”n All gone slick and 4b ERUPTION OF A SOUTH AMERICAN VOLCANO. The eruption of a volcano, probably Cotopaxi, has cansed serious damage in Ecuador.

An jnvention that will protect ships of war from attacks of torpedoes is wanted ; and this want ought to stimulate the in- ventive skill of mechauics and scientific men. Torpedoes jn some form have play- ed an important part in the wars of latter years, byt these torpedoes were not the infernal machines that are now being em- ployed. In former days they were recep- taeles filled with explosive eae were either anchored in the pa ay of vessels or floated to the objeet that was desired to be destroyed: "They were fired by concussion, clockwork, or time fuse. The location of such torpe- does could most geverally*be discovered, if proper attention was directed toward their places of conceal ment. Torpedoes of that class were playthiogs compared with the inventions of Lay, Ericsson, Whitehead, and Thorneycroft. The approach of these messengers is sub- merged and their pathway cannot be dis- covered by the assailed party. ~ From them the greatest danger is to be appre- hended. Let us take for example, the Lay torpe- do, notices of whose performance have appeared in our columns, and there seems to be but little protection from its attack. It is launched silently, and accurately it speeds taward its intended victim. The operator being on shore, or at a distance, is able to navigate it through crooked and intricate channels, and direct it at his will to unerringly strike its formidable anta- gonist and sends him a wreck beneath the waves. But if this antagonist be anchor- ed, precautions of safety may be employed. A net, wark of fron may be supported on booms, or pendent below the vessel's keel, through which the torpedo cannot burst. A cordon of ropes may surround the ves- sel, supported on boats in which are watchfal crews to give un alarm. Other devices may be employed; but they more or less interfere with the sailing qualities of the vessel, and would seriously retard its management should an antagonist present himself, and an engagement en- sue. Protruding spars may keep of a torpedo boat, similar to the Thorneycroft launch, and the electric light would determine its position. But let this vessel be attacked by the Lay torpedo, or others of like char- acter, and such defense is futile. The net-work of wire will keep it at a distance, but the abjections to its use, except at anchorage, are as given. Ata recent at- tack of four torpedoes upon a Turkish vessel in the Danube, the commander saved his vessel by coolness and quick manevering. But the type of some war vessels is such, especially those heavily armored, that they cannot be thns handled, and would therefore at times present op- portnnijties for the approach of their fleet- moving antagoxists. What the protection for the swift and unseen movements of submerged torpe- does may be, the future can only decide. It is left for inventors to work ont. As 9 hint, we say study well the aetion and approach of the torpedo, submerged as it is. Remember they are swift and unseen in their movement, impregnable to attack, and most destructive in their effect. That a defence can be wrought out.that will be all that can be desired we have no doubt, and he may consider himself fortunate who does it.—Setentifie American, ~~... AN UNLUCKY MAN.

He was soon aie to sit up.in bed, and by consjant use of VEGETINE, it has ns ie peg ? leg, which he will probably have for jife;, bn we ait heaeotly believe, if we bad used VEGETINE before we had bothered with those doctors, it would have saved the use of his leg, and restored it to natural health.

CATHERINE MAHONEY. “T say, fellows,” remarked a Yank loafer to some of his companions, “‘let us see who can tell the biggest lie.” ‘All right,” said one, ‘‘I’m the biggest fool in America.” ‘Ob, pshaw!” cxclaimed the first, contemptiously; ‘‘we agreed to tell nothing but lies and you begin by telling the truth.” When a Newark lover leaves the house of his adored one ata late hour in the evening, and walks musipgly homeward beneath the twinkling stara, his fond fancy pictures her, clothed in white ra- mite, resting sweetly upon her pillow, | with her unbound hair tossed about her | sleeping face, and angels bending over her couch whispering heavenly dreams.

They had an elegant home jn the midgt of beautiful grounds which eommapdad a jand-scape that artists went far to see; and one gathered on eanvase the brown, twisted belt of river between slopes of n banks, and another eaught the very glow and warmth of the elaster of lakes among the hills, and even still another the heaps of dun-eolored rocks with a hot glitter of sunlight upon them. Here, in the midst of beauty and grandeur, the Richmonds dispensed a lavish hospitality , Occassionally, when fancy seized them, they went abroad, though business never allowed the head of the household long absences; and his wife never would re- main without him. Then they had win- ters in Washington, as circumstances might favor ; a life, you see, crowded with grace, luxury, variety, following the de- sires of their heart and their eyes. ‘This morning, however, Mrs. Richmond jooked straight past it, down into the girlhood which eame back upon her and breathed a new Jife into her soul. And the old one, with all its grace and splen- dor, seemed to be incomplete, fictitious, unreal; like some evening pageant, all gliding and gaslight and heavy, oppres- sive fragrance, beside some clear, fresh June morning, full of sunlight and dew and life of violets and roses, and the slip- ping of cool springs over mossy rocks. “What had she been doing with all these years?” the beautiful, gracious wo- man asked herself, sitting there. ‘(What have they done for her?” And far off, like echoes that die mournfully among the distant hills, she seemed to hear a voice avawering, Vanity, all is vanity.” She moved nneasily and looked eut. Then, for the first time, Mra. Richmond realized what the morning was—its life entered suddenly into her heart. A warm, late May morning, earth and air in one wide sparkle of sunshine, On the distant hills hung the lilac mists with soft winds floating among them; orchards of apple- blossoms like great pink lakes stretching away to the horizon, and sweetening the golden air. Mingling with this, too, was the strong, subtle fragance of the young grass clothing the hills and the roadsides with that garment as fresh and new now as when it was worn in the first new morn- ing of the world; and the stars, looking down upon it, broke out into a choral of joy. The world was making ready for the summer, Mrs. Richmond thought ; she had rolled off the fine linen of her snows through which she had slumbered all the winter, and arrayed herself in splendors of gold and purple ; and, with the glanc- ing streams and the singing of birds, and the air swinging its vast censer of fra- grance, the queen would come in to pos- sess her own ; and for three long months of glory and beauty, the summer would hold her court in the land. She would be here in a couple of days now, for it was the thirtieth of May. Mrs. Richmond had not thought of that before ; there was a little indrawn breath, as she recalled the day of the month, and then her memory slid down the years to another May day, whereof this was the anniversary. It was just such a thirtieth of May as this; the same floating of purple mists upon the mountain tops, the same aplen- dors of sunshine and delight of leaves and blossoms, the same sweetness, like the breath of heaven floating in the air. She was @ young girl then in the old family home, with its broad rooms, its quaint, dark passages, and itswide, old garden, in whose mould her childhood had had its roots as well as the old trees and vines. A sudden heat came into the soft cheeks of Mrs, Richmond ; a tender light steadied itself in the brown, beautiful eyes, her lips quivered with some feeling astir in her heart, as the hours of that day, the dearest, happiest, proudest of her life, came before her, It was strange how every little occurrence came baék to her 3 the walk in the garden in theearly morn- ing, with some strange fulness and light- ness at her heart, as though she had a prescience that some great good waa com- ‘ing to her thatday. She remembered go- ing down among the currant bushes and the strawberry vines, and gathering hand- fuls of damp, purple violets and yellow tulips with a fiery glitter down deep in the golden bells. She remembered, too, ’ robin, that tilted a moment on a young plam-tree in her path, and dashed out a sudden sweetness through the air, and the red blaze on his breast. She was so hap- Py that day, with a strange, exultant sense of life and youth bounding through every pulse, that she could not stay in the house, and she remembered mounting her little black pony and riding off among the hills. What @ wild scampering time they had 6f it, wp amang the rough hill roads or down among the dark level meadows! She did Rot get back yptil noon, and when she rode through the gate there was Walden Richmond come ant from the city with With his father ta dine. He had often told her how she looked in his eyes as; she canie up the walk that day, with the color in her cheeks and eyes, and the hair blowing about them under her little brown Tiding-hat, the sweeteat, most beautiful thing he thought, that hia eyes had ever Tested on. el et would have been quite so glad to see at that time as she was this Walden Richmond, whem she had known for less than a half a year;and with whom her father had some business, which bronght him out frequently to the old, gray homestead. Of late she began te think it wag nat al: together his businegg with her which drew the yougg man there quently, for he always planned @ a walk with the daughter before and there wege apme looks gnd her heart always fluttered and her grew hot when she thought of them, She remembered just how handsome he look- ed, standing on the veranda as she rode ap, with the pleased look in his eyes and about his mouth; he seemed to her the very entbodied ideal of her young dream of knighthood, tender, noble, and. brave, Shoe remembered the dinner that followed, with the windows open, and the winds andthe sunshine coming in upon them, and her fond old father and mother, who had made a spoiled idol of their only child, and the jests and light talk, and the sil- ences slipping in between. How happy they all were, and the lady’s mouth trem- bles, and the great tears shine in her eyes thinking of that time. Then the after- noon that followed; im the mild, cool old parlors, or out on the sunny verandas, and in the rambling old garden, that was her father’s delight, with its thick fruit, its vines, its shrubs and blossoms; and through it all, that strange prescience of some mighty blessing hovering near her, with which she had waked up in the morning, a kind of exultant joy in all her veins that made her very heart throb and tremble with its sense of blissful happi- ness, How all the looks and words of that time flowed back to her! They made the gracious lady sitting there in her carriage thrill and blush with the lost girlhood which had come to her again ; and she heard Walden Richmond asking, as he asked while they walked together in the garden, and the afternoon wore toward the warm splendors of sunset; Margaret, shall we have a little ride together before sunset?” It was the first time he had called her that, and the name seemed to take on new grace when he spoke it. They went to ride together, down through quiet lanes, into roads wind- ing through the fresh, green woods, attir- ed and waiting for the summer, and there Walden Richmond laid his strong, soft hand on hers and told her the words that filled her life with a great, solemn joy; such a joy that the old tides sweepin upon her now, her face trembles and breaks up and drops into her hands, and she cries with the happiness of that time. How proud she was of him, how dearly she loved him, that noble, tender, handsome lover of hera! How wonderful it seemed, that of all the fair and beautiful women in the world, where he was flattered and honored, he should have selected her as the wife of his heart and home! How strange and delightful it seemed that they must always dwell together, and how the future years seemed then to lean out and smile down upon her, and how happy she resolved to make him. They should nev- er love each other less than at that hour. Then the ride home in the early even- ing, with the light going slowly from the hills, and the content, that was too bliss- ful for words on either side ; and the sup- per at home, and the joy and pride of the old parents when they came to know the truth ;—and again the tears came thick through the white fingers. Fifteen years ago this thirtieth of May. They had alipped and slipped like the tides of the sea, and what have they done for her and him? Margaret Richmond feels semehow that they have not fulfilled the promise of that apring day. Yet she has been a wife, tenderly indulged and be- loved by her husband, She has never for one moment doubted the faith of Walden Richmond during these years, But the tender bloom of that early love seems to have faded from the hearts of both, The years, the soft, treacherous, slipping years, have chafed them both. Their moods have fretted and rasped each other at times, and, although the man and woman were too well bred, too really fine and generous at heart ever to indulge in coarse recrimination, still there had been occas- sionally coldness and irritability betwixt them, which made Mrs, Richmond wince now to remember. Even that very morn- ing she had parted with ber husband in a pet, Mrs. Richmond had set her heart on joining a party who were going to spend the sammer in Switazerland. She wanted, to use her own thought about it, to get close to the ‘soul of the Alps.” Her husband had not talked hopefully about this from the beginning, and when the subject was brought up at the break- fast table for final settlement he had dis- posed of the matterby saying, “‘Margaret, it is quite impossible for me to go abroad | this summer. I should like to gratify your pretty fadties about the Alps, but for the next three months my business will require almost daily presence on my part.” It was a keen disappointment to the indulged and a little self-willed woman. Jn her first heat and vexation she bad replied with a good deal of bitterness about her husband's absorption of life and soul in business, and Walden Richmond had an- f af fe s t s There was nobody in the world sha awered, with plenty of spirit, “Margaret, kind. You expect, for instance, a man to leave hia business any moment lying at loose ends to follow some fancy of yours about the world.” thought, and she stood now ia Seen taken ct deo af Me te the firat hours of their betrothal, the sweet face trembling and flushing like a and if the y , ripened womanhood @was not less, but rather more beautiful than when her hus- band had wooed her for his wife. “Will you turn back, Mrs. Richmond 1” asked the coachman, as he drew up the horses ; for they had reached the road now which led down among the warehouses and factories of the town ; a place that his mistress did not much affect, unless some errand took her down to her husband’s office, where he frequently passed his mornings. Mrs. Richmond had come out without any especial object that morning. The beauty of the day had allured her from home, and for the last half hour she had taken no thought of where she was going. “No, John ; drive on, please, to the of- fice.” Mrs. Richmond was a lady, and was always polite to her subordinates. Walden Richmond sat at his desk writ- ing busily, while a pile of letters lay at his right hand. It wasa pleasant office, at the side of a great, dark heap of ware- houses, and in the bit of yard behind, there was a young maple, cool and glad with fresh leaves, and under its wide, green roof a robin’s hidden nest, ont of which overflowed every morning a very rapture of sweet song. The gentleman looked up hastily as his wife came in at the door, with the bright light inhereyes and the warmth in her cheeks, He thought her new hat was wonderfully becoming; but he could not stop just then to admire his wife. ‘‘Margaret,” be asked, ‘“‘what has brought you down here this morning?” The voice was hardly a welcome one, for he was in a great hurry, and then Walden Richmond had not just forgotten the talk at the breakfast-table, Fifteen years ago that day, the man had thought he was wooing an angel to his wife, and Margaret was not always quite that; he had the grace to think, though, ‘Perhaps it was partly his fault.” “I_I had an errand with you, Walden. If he had had time to observe, he would have noticed some change in his wife's voice, ‘Well, I shall be in a desperate hurry for the next ten minutes ; on a race to finish these before the mail closes.” He point- ed to the office chair. ‘Will you wait and sitdown here? There are the papers, and as soon aa I can get these off, l’'ll be at your service.” She sat down, and he resumed his writ- ing. Mrs. Richmond did not take up the papers, however ; she sat still, looking at her husband, her thoughts very busy. She noticed, with a kind of sorrowful tenderness, the small frosts which had crept into the brown hair and handsome beard, and that the lines had gathered deeper in the forehead since that May day when they rode together in the sunset. He was something more to her now than the every day husband to whom she was quite used. She remembered all his tenderness, his care, the love and indalgence with which these had sheltered her life, and it seemed new and precious to her now, as it did in the old days of the honeymoon. Her heart overflowed in a great tender- ness as she gazed, not unmingled with some sharp pangs of self-reproach, though Walden and Margaret Richmond had less to forgive, than I verily believe most has- bands and wivea have after fifteen years of married life, At last the lettera were finished. Mr. Richmond gathered them into a heap, rang a bell, and placed them in the hands of the office boy, who appeared promptly; then he turned to his wife. “Well, Margaret, what ts it? do you want some money? I cannot conceive of anything less which could bring you down here to-day !” He did not intend to be unkind—spoke half in jest, but, in her mood, the words hurt her. “No, Walden,” she answered, “I did not come for money this time; I came for something better than that.” . Something in her toves struck him now. He looked at her. There were tears shin- ing in her eyes. They touched him at once, “Why, Margaret, what is the mat- ter? Has anything been troubling you fT” She leaned forward; the flush deepen- ing on her cheeks and lips. “Do you know what day it ia to-day, Walden, and what it means to you and me?” He looked at her in a blank surprise. “J don’t understand you, Margaret,” he said, for answer. She came closer now. “It is the thir- ‘a, y face than you os girl's Sheena coe an yours!

Let our hearts be also. Ah, Walden, I have been thoughtless, impatient, foolish many times in these years; but it is the Margaret of that day who comes to you now, with the love and faith and happinesy of that time alive in her. Letus forgive and forget, and be lovers again to-day.” “Ah, Margaret, it is I who ought to say that,” crushing up the soft, warm band in both his own. Mrs. Richmond drew a long breath, and glanced about the narrow, dingy office. It was true, May sunshine was scattered everywhere; and the winds astir among young maple leaves, and the singing of the robins came in pleasantly ‘at the open window. “Let us keep the anniversary of this day with the sunshine and grass and trees. It is sacred to you and me, Walden.” He could not refuse any fancy of hers to-day ; and so, though his business still summoned him loudly, Walden Richmond went out and gave a few orders, and then, coming back, put all farther thought of that aside for the day. So they went out together to the old home, where Walden Richmond had first seen and wooed his wife. It was a wide, old, gray stone house in the midst of a great, rambling garden, crowded with shrubs and ancient fruit-trees. The place was silent now, as though the sanshine and the birds and quivering leaves had it all theirown way. Mrs. Richmond's fath- er and mother slept a little way off, under a lower roof than the wide ove which ‘had sheltered them for so many peaceful years; and an old man and woman kept the house now and the garden from falling into utter decay, and that was the most you could say of it. For the old air of thrift and painstaking had departed from house and grounds. Yet everywhere there was a wild affluence of life and growth; the green climbing vines, the shaking snows of the apple blossoms, the pink flushing of peach-trees, dark purple veins along the ground, where the vivlets ran riot, and blessed the warm, golden air with the sweetness of their breath. They rambled together everywhere, among the green slopes of the terraces, through the walks and by-paths, and down among the thick bushes, for the life of their youth had come back to this man and woman, and seemed to fill their veins with the old wine, the hope and the gladness. They sat under the trees, and and Mrs. Richmond took off her elegant Paris hat, with its flowers and _ rib- bons, and laid it away in her handker- chief, and twineda wreath of the fruit blossoms and soft, pink maple-buds and violets, and sect these on head; and ler husband told her she was fairer now than she was even on that day when he first asked her to be to him what she had been now these fifteen years. A soft blush fluttered into the lady’s cheeks ; the tears clouded the light in her beautiful eyes. “Ah, Walden, not all, God forgive me. Ihave not been these fifteen years all you asked me to be that day.” “Tt ia my fault then Margaret. You should not reproach yourself,” kissing away the sudden quiver upon the sweet lips. Some of the time they were merry, too; laughing over pretty jests, telling stories of the past, chasping each other through the overgrown walks, and sometimes they were sad, talking of the dear old father and mother, who slept through all the happivess of their children, as pretty soon we are all to sleep—you and I also, reader, under the grass and the daisies. “It grieves me to see the old grounds have this unkempt, neglected look,” said Mrs. Richmond, gazing all around her. “What would dear papa have said f” “If we could find somebody of the right sort to put in here,” answered her husband; ‘bat that is very difficult to compass.” tieth of May. It was just such a day as this, Walden, fifteen years ago, that you you are the most unreasonable of woman- told me that yoa leved me!” At last they went into the house.

As they droye home, Mrs, Richmond tarned to her husband, gaying, “Ah, Walden! it has been the happiest fay that I have known for years. “It has been this to me also, Margaret. How long it seems since we parted this morning in the breakfast-room, and ] called you—ah, Margaret ! my heart smote me going down to the office afterwards, though I might never have had the grace to own it if all this had not followed.” “Ah, Walden! my thoughts smote me, too, before all the rest came suddenly up- on me.” : “Bat what made the change? That is what I want to know.” The lady mused a moment, the smile steadying itself slowly in the gravity about her lips. “I think, Walden,” she said at last, “it was the face of that young girl I saw in the window, in that little white cottage, behind the clumps of syringas in the bit of front yard ; a young, sweet face, full of bloom and color, brought back my old youth to me in a moment, and the rest followed—the old home, the thought of you; and then I remembered that day, and that this was its anniversary ; and so the flood came over my soul like the heav- ing of spring tides. But the sight of that young girl’s face in the window was the first thing that roused me.” ‘“T shall be that girl’s debtor as long as Llive. I feel as though I wanted to do her same good thing,” said Richmond, with a smile. In a little while they drove past the small house where the Aldrich family lived. The sunset gleamed brightly on the front and among the syringa bushes. “There, Walden, that is the place,” looking at the small house wistfully, as though it was the face of a friend; but the blinds were closed, and no sweet face shone‘at the windows. “It is rather singular,” said Mr. Rich- mond, “that this very r.orning that house fell into my hands. I have been buying a large tract of land, which included that place. I had been debating the matter some time with a business friend, but this morniug he made me an offer which clos- ed the bargain.” “What are you going to do with it all, Walden ” “Improve the land, and put up new buildings when the new railroad is open- ed, which it will be next fall; and then the talk slipped away to other matters, and the little white cottage was forgotten. [TO BE CONTINUED.] The late Judge Mitchel—A Man who Never Loved. (Statesville Te of the Raleigh Obser- ver. Mr. T. 8. Tucker in his eloquent re- marks at the recent meeting of the bar at Statesville to express regret and pass resolutions upon the death of the lateJudge Mitchel, spoke to this effect: “Judge Mitchel was his preceptior. After he was admitted to the bar he generously invited him to occupy his library and make that his office. He was thus intimately asso- ciated with him for nearly ten years. One Sunday morning while writing a letter the Judge walked into his room and in- quired if he was at work on Sunday. Mr. Tucker told him that he was writing to his sweetheart. ‘Well,’ replied the Judge, ‘that is no harm. Read me a page or two of it.’ After listening attentively a few minutes, he said: ‘there, that will do.’ After a pause he said: ‘I never loved. I thought I would wait until I could com- pleted my education. After completing my education I determined to become a lawyer. I then thought I would estab- lish a reputation at the bar before I mar- ried, and the truth is I have never found time to think about it.’ This was the first and only allusion to the subject du- ring the long and intimate association of Mr, Tucker with him. An Enormous Amount of Mail Matter.— The last few days have been signalized at the New York postoffice by the receipt of two of the largest mails ever known in the history of the institution. The one of Friday last embraced over three hundred thousand letters and papers, the accumu- lations of more than four days, caused by the stoppage of railway and mail traffic on the principal trank lines. When de- posited in the postoffice it filled ten and a half great baskets, each weighing, with its coptenta, two handred and twenty-five ; i bettvet: nw epee) tneehhur -4 Se om ¢h ft PP eyo bes pet | * VEE bg p= * fod oPt SRA tate hii een ko et nt A ae | catia ik eke te heer aff Pitts ug i jetted er ‘ oe Te “ae rt ee in the Fait tatan. | f might as well be out of Fiji fashion.

A Long Service.—The official career of Chief Justice Pearson, of our Supreme Court, as to length of service, is almost without parellel in the country. He was first elect- ed Judge of the Superior Courts, January 3d, 1837. On the 11th of December, 1848, he was elected Judge of the Supreme Court to supply the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Joseph J. Daniel. In 1858 he was elected Chief Justice of the Su- preme Court, succeeding Chief Justice Nash, deceased. “His service runs through more than forty successive years, a longer period in the history of the State than any other has held office, except the late Wm.

There is one strong point against the truth of this story. Peter Stuart Ney was a learned man; a fine mathematician; “The best linguist in the western part of North Carolina” in his day; a noted educator; a devotee to the profession of teaching; a fine scholar and courtly gentleman. Michael Ney was never a scholar; he*had little classical ed- ueation; and it is hardly possible he could have acquired the learning attributed to Peter Stuart Ney after his military career ended.

Parting /eounsels were given under’ circumstances which’ affected us deep- ly.. ‘The pitids'of all were well pre- pated ‘ta.teceive them; and we are fully persnaded that, if obeyed, they will secure a prosperous future'to the congregation. They. were such as God’s word ‘enjoins, and the negfect of which incurs hisdispleasere, but the practice of which ‘is always ac- companied with his blessing. Phe relation of pastor: aud. people is a matnally endearing one.’ No man of natural affection can “be associated with a congregation for even a short petiod without forming strong attach- inénts, and drawing forth measurably #t tetiprocal fealing; and this tendency is-rendered-mote intense and. decided by the solemn eonviations drawn from the divine reulities ofthe Gospel— its ¢heering verities of hope and faith taking hold upon the “life eternal.” The sundering of that relation has al- ways been to us most painful, as we presume it is to pastors generally. Oar pastoral intercourse with the Salisbury congregation was uninter- ruptedly pleasant. In no instance did we ever have an unkind or disre- spectful word spoken to us; vor do we know of one instance, while among them, of evil having been spoken of us! And it is due, further, to say of the community of Salisbury gen- erally that they treated us with In no ovr short stay among them. And we parted with them reluctantly, and with the earnest wish and prayer for their temporal and eternal good. St. John’s Ev, Lutheran congrega- tion of Salisbury, we hope, will soon again enjoy the faithful administra- tion of the divive word, from the moyth of a pastor sent of God, and whom, as laboring anrong them, they will s esteem very, highly. for his work’s sake.” —Lutheran Visitor.

LUDDEN & BATES, Savannah, Ga. eee How Mike got his Seat.—Mike Bringle went up the Western road last week on one of the crowded excursions. He had secured a seat by Mr. Jno. A. Snider. But some duty called him outside for » few minutes. In his absence a gentleman had seated a lady in bis place. He took in the situation ata glance and walking up to the lady excitedly, saying: “Madam you must give ne my seat?” The gent who had seated the lady spoke up: “Surely you will allow the lady to sit there, for the car is crowded, as you see 7” “Yes sir, yes; bat Madam,” replying to the lady, “‘my father there has fits and | am obliged to sit there and fan him; see, he leoks as if he would have one soon; yes, he is going to have one sure; just look at him.” Mr. Svider was paying no attention to Mike, but was looking at the pretty frescoing on the ceiling of the car. Mike reached over and began fanning him gently, all the while keeping up a rnnning fire of conversation: “Yes, Madam, he is going to have it sure, I can see it in his eyes—he has been subject to them for years—O!} there it comes!” The lady began to move uneasily, gradually rising she sidled out into the isle and made her way tothe rear of the car. Mike took his seat and continued fanning with a tri- umphant smile. Mr. Snider was innocent of Mike's trick. ee To Mothers :—Should the Baby be suf- fering with any of the disorders of Baby - hood use Dr, Bull’s Baby Syrup at once for the trouble. 25 cents per bottle, — —-_+~q>o—__ From the Charlotte Democrat.

The flactuating character of ecollaterala and the very great difficulty of realizing un- der force sales of real estate jn times like the present, justify in the judgment of the Committee, this suggestion of the Trustee. The investment of the Trustee in the claim on the Atiautic, Tennessee & Ohio Railroad is approved and highly cow- mended by the Committee as a wise and judfeious nse of funds, as well for the in- triusic value of the property as for the collateral advaptages given to the N.

On inquiry, when the above Report was referred to a Committee for exaniination at the Stockholders meeting, wé.are told that some of the above mentioned Notes had no security, and we fear their solven- cy is doubtful; but we think the members of the présént Finance Committee will make strict investigation of the matter, as they were directed to do by the meet- ing of Stockholders. Our information leads us to believe that the fears of the Democrat as to the insuf- ficieney of'the securities are groandless. —_— bo - Principal Dice, of the schools of Cin- cinnatti, says: “When a young woman commences to teach a school she loses nine chances in ten for marriage.

The better elements of the Repub- liean party have at last got control of the party in that quarter. So, both parties in Ohio endorse Presi- dent Hayes’ policy. ———— $$ THE STOCK LAW. On the 2d of August elections were held in Cabarrus, Rowan, * ad three Townships in Iredell county, on the question of a Stock Law (fencing up stock.) We learn from the Concord papers that Cabarrus county voted for tlie Stock Law by 211 majority. No election was held in Rowan in consequence of the neglect of the Commissioners of that county to order an election. In Iredell three ‘Town- ships voted on the matter without any definite result—two being tied, and one voted against the law—leaving the mat- ter to be decided by the County Commis- siovers of Iredell.—Char. Democrat. There was no election held in this coun- ty because the Commissioners had in- sufficient time, after receipt of the Acts, to provide for it. But it is all right any- way, since ifan election had been held the failute of Iredell to vote for the law would have defeated the measure, Rowan has saved $125 by not holding an election which would have been useless if held. Work Storrep.—We learn that work upon the Western Insane Asylum, in process of construction at Morganton, has been suspended for the lack of funds. At its last seasion the General Assembly appropriated $30,000 to carry on this work, but we now hear that the institu- tion is without a stiver and operation must suspend for the present. There is said to be a good deal of distress among the mechanics and laborers, many of whom came froma distance, who were engaged on the building. They are left without employment and without money. The State has spent too much money on this property to now abaudon it and let what has been done go for naught. Thia would be not ouly a false cconomy, but actually an insane policy.— Raleigh News. Certainly it would, but is it not a little trying to the tax-payers of the State who are weighted down with public and _pri- vate burdens, to hear this ery every time | the State undertakes a piece of work. In this case it would seem that the Legisla- ture accepted estimates beyond the ability of the State to pay, and that the $30,000 allowance for the year was a compromise between doing nothing at all and making an adequate appropriation to carry on the work, je ——_-..» -@- TAKE CARE, If some of our good Demoeratic eotem- poraries in this State don’t take care they will get into a bad quarrel about which of them is doing right or wrong ubout Pres- ident Hayes and his poliey—about who are the best democrats and peace-makers, &e., &e. If it would not considered amiss we would suggest to our democratic friends that they drop the whole subject | until near the time for holding the next elections, and allow the publie a little reat from ‘po-:ities.” It will be found hard enough next year to unite Democrats on convention or party nominations with- out creating disagreements so far in nd- | vance on non-essentials, Mr. Hayes has been inaugurated President for four years and will remaln so, no matter what news- | papers may say for and against him. Let us all treat him fairly and by all proper and honorable means induce him to be a good and fair Chief Magistrate of a good and great country.—Char. Demoerat. Well said.

Now to these we offer every material inducement in the way of soil, climaje, and natural advantages. But they require more than this. They de- mand good facilities for educating their chijdrén. The impression, therefore, that this cannot be had, works actual injury in jts restraining influence on desirable emi- Cente ro ee eee oy xe But jt is not trne, and as a proof that it is not, we continue our examination of the comparative efforts in this direction made by the various sections of the coun- etjty whieh 1860. The white populatign of 2) Northeyp States and 5 Territories was 18,023,929. The 15 Southern States had a white pop- ulation of 8,009,171, equal ta abaut 42 1-3 per centum of the population of the North- ern States and Territories, = , The North had 205 colleges, employing 1, 407 teachers, and with 29,044 students. The South had 262 eolleges, employing 1,488 teqchers, and with 27,055 students. ‘Here we see that the South had a larg- er pumber of colleges and a layger num- ber of teachers, while the number of stu- dents was only 2,000 less. To enable our readers to give a ratio of these to popula- tion: oe The North had one college for every 91,000 of its white population. The South for every 40,500. The Northern colleges had one teacher to every 13,500, the Southen colleges to ev- ery 5,500 of the white population. The Northern colleges had one student foevery 655, the Sonthern colleges had one student to every 296 of the white popula- tion. ‘The ineome of these Northern colleges was $1,514,293; of the Southern $1,662,- 419. In other words, the Noythern colleges had’an income of &f for every 424 of the population. The Southern colleges had an income of $1 fpr every 44 of the popula- tion. “The peuple of the North pid 8 cents per gapita towards the support of their col- legos, while the South paid 21 cents per capita for a similar purpose. , This difference appears more striking if we make 9 comparison which is in every respect a faiyer one, and léss sugceptible of explanation and excuse. In ‘the ahove we have taken the entire North and the entire South and compared then together. It may be said that the name oollege is given in many of the pewly settled Sonth- ern States to institntions ‘which ought to rank as only ‘highly graded academies. The same js true of the newly settled Northern States. But admit it, and yet Wwe see that the South gave 2} times as much more per capita towards a higher education of her children than did the North. The same objection, however, cannot be made if we compare the six original Sou- thern States with the six New England States. ‘Here we beard the lion in his den, We go tq the very abode af calture in this country, If the facts still show that the older States of the South gave more atten- tion to, and expended more money on the higher education than New England, then we need make no furtber arguiient (4 sus- try. “We shall first take fhe census of clothed,” interests gf life. | Beyond all these consideyatians, there is the tendengy in fhe introduction of orse racing and other neyelties, q draw off the attention fram the ape great fees dea ys e8e ing thought and Purpgae inten is. of little ar na impartance, when com- pared with the ‘‘wherewjthal we shall be fed and the wherewithal we shall’ be tain our position. We again consult the United States census for 1860. The white population df the six New England States was 3,110,572. Of the six Atlantic Sauthern States 3,138,169, These New England States had Qi col- leges, or ane for every 148,000 af their in- habjtants, These Southern States had 97 At qnother time ee ee roe thse djd gs well as anyother section.

Descending from her carriage, a little hile later, at her own door, Mrs. Rieh- mond said to her husband, “Ah, Walden, [have been so happy to-day! I feel as thongh I wanted to make some other heart jight and glad. 1. dén’t-Waidt ‘te keep all the blessing to myself.” I think, of all the good words she had said to-day, these re the best. : wimg darlfag, you haw’n’t” sewared her husbands. looked at her with the smile in Wis eyes, theemile of fifteeagrears ago, she thought. - A month had , and one pleasant June day just.at twilight, with the jsweet breath of blossoms and the droning of in- sects in the golden air, Mry and Mrs. Richmond had just come up-from supper, vith the little company of guests who were to leave them in the morning en route for Switzerland and the Alps. It had been a sultry day, and the bright, merey party scattered now on the veranda taking in long draughts of the fresh, cool hillside air. “Come, now, Richmond, you'd better think it all over at this late minute, and conclude to take the next steamer with us. There’s time yet, and there are the Alps and the Rhine and all the splendor ofthe summer in Switzerland. You'd better go with us,” remarked one of the guests. “Or at least,” chimed in the voice of a lady who stood by his side, “you'd better consign Mrs. Riehmond to our eare for the pext five months.” “Margaret can always do as she likes,” auswered Walden Richmond, turning to his wife with a smile. ‘‘Itis not too late yet.” But all the time he was assured what her answer woold be. At that moment aservant came np to Mr. Richmond. ‘There is a young girl who wishes to see you a mement in pri- vate,” he said;.and the gentleman made some apologies to his guest, and went in- to the house. A young girl on the lounge in a simple brown hatand dress, her fingers were working nervously, and her heart throb- bing so loud and scared that it almost chocked her. She looked up as the gen- tleman entered. He saw a young, sweet, girlish face, the cheeks flushed, and the the brown eyes wistful and frightened. You are Mr. Richmond,” she said, and the words seemed to come hard and slow. He was a kind-hearted man; he pited the young girl’s embarrassment. “Yes,” he answered iu his kindest tone; ‘‘I un- stand you have some errand with me.” “Yes; it is about the rent, sir. I am Miss. Aldrich. We occupy thecottage you have lately bought. I came to ask you it you could wait awhile longer for the rent,” the words panted out half incoherently ; but if you_could have seen the mouth 4 Teh eh the tened, plead- ing voice, 4yoh woth’ have pitied the girl. In a moment it all flashed upon Walden Richmond. This was the face that his qe had seen shining at the window on ’ hever-to-be-forgdtten day. ' A’ fair young, delicate face, to whom he owed ‘mueh, the man thought. He pitied the i sincerely, ‘‘Poor young thing,” he ht, te fave te’eome to him ou an lar co-incidence it was! What would Margaret say 1” ‘Walden Richmond answered in his gentlest voice. ‘Do not give yourself any trouble about it, my child. -I am in no hurry, for the rent.” The kindly tones, “the sudden relief were too much for. the strained nerves. Rath Aldrich looked up into the man’s face with a look he would never forget. “Ah, sir, I thank you,” she said. ‘It was 80 very hard to come and ask you.” Then a quick trembling all over the face, and, dreadfally frightened and dreadfully ashamed, the poor child burst intoa great sobbing and weeping—those hard, tearing, convulsive sobs, that always tell you what pain and suffering lie behind them. They melted the heart of the man who heard them. «‘‘Why, my child, has it been so terrible qa thing tocome to me? Did you fancy I was the traditional landlord, hard and grim, merciless and grasping ? Well, at least it’s a comfort that you will be undeceived now.” Poor Ruth! She tried to answer over and over again; but the sobs would come and choke up the words, and all she could do was to git-still and cry. It was not strange either, when you came to know all. The family prospects had grown drearier and drearier during all this pleas- ant June month, which seemed the coldest and darkest of Ruth Aldrich’s life. The young face grew thin, and an old, hunted, Worried look came into the dark eyeaas the days went on and household purse grew thinner, There was a good deal of sickness in the town at that season, and a falling off inthe school. Ruth Iay awake night af- ‘er night, when the sweet face ought to been drooping like a lily in the soft dews of slumber, turning over in her mind ‘ome plan ky-whieh they might be able to méet the rent, But ‘no light eame* to her. It see G@o@itiad deserted ten “aid Atdaod vonccltnes that they uid all die together and get away from thie terrible world where there was no fest nor comfort without money. In the prebend the strait, and her father dréam- ed over his invention, which followed the way of all its predecessera. There was the rent, too, staring Ruth @ay by day in the face; the most terrible fact of all th. she had to confront; becaase it was the heaviest debt. ' At last the girl grew Noth- ing lesa than being this could have driven hey $0: eneieiennbentian, oScmnghig- he landlord, telling him the facts, and “be- seeching him to wait for the money. Three times, already, without Mrs. Rich- mond’s knowledge, the agent had called for payment; and there seemed nothing left for Ruth to do bat this thing, the very thought of which was bitter almpst as death to the proud, shy, sensitive girl. She revealed her project to none of the family ; she put it away from her all day, so that she could go steadily through her round of school duties, and when the night came she had put on her hat, and walked the long two miles. And, still not daring to pause a moment lest her heart should fuil her, she had walked straight to the door and asked audience of the rich man. Do you wonder that the reaction came at last ? Ruth Aldrich will never forget that walk, por how the river shone and spark- led on her way, nor how once or twice she stopped and wondered vaguely whether it would not be easier to lie down under that cool, smooth curtain of waters, than do the thing she had set her heart to do. Mr. Richmond, with that singular com- bivation of strength and gentleness, which give him his power over others, succeeded at last in soothing the girl ; then he step- ped out of the room, and, calling his wife aside, told her what the late summons meant. The lady’s heart was stirred with a great pity. She left her guests and went to the sobbing girl. Rath had grown a little quieter by this time, and Mrs. Richmond was gracious and sweet and tender ‘‘as an angel would have been,” the girl thought. “I felt assured, my child, you would do me some good the first time I looked on your face,” smoothering the little, hot, trembling hand Mrs. Richmond had taken in her own. Ruth’s great perplexed eyes, the tears still across them, looked at her in blank amasement. Then Mrs. Richmond told her of the morning drive and sweet face which shone on her from the cottage window, and the magi¢e it had wrought in her thoughts and feelings. Ruth listened in awe, wonder, delight. Smiles came out on the flushed lips and hot cheeks, and a great pleasure shone all over the sweet face. “So you see, my child, that you are not the only debtor,” said Mrs. Richmond. “If I had known, I should have come to you before.” And so Ruth was won into telling her own story; all the privation and pain, the dark days, the darker nights, the strug- gle and the terror of the wolf with the fierce eyes and lean face watching always at the door. Mrs. Richmond had been born and nur- tured in every comfort, and for years her life had been swathed in luxury. She re- garded poverty as a terrible thing, but always associated it with ignorance and vice ; anything like this struggle with pride and misfortune by refined and deli- cate people she had never conceived pos- sible. Her own grace and grandeur seem- ed to reproach her. She cried with Ruth as she listened to her story, and pressed the soft, warm hand closer in her own. I have no time to tell you all the kind and pleasant things she said, made doub- ly so by her manner; and when at last she could leave her guests no longer, and the stars had come out and filled the blue furrows of the sky with their golden sheens, Mrs. Richmond ordered her carriage and sent Ruth home, and she kissed the girl at parting, and said to her :— “Go home now, my child, and sleep soundly to-night. Never think of the rent again, only that you have friends who will not forget you.” Ruth wondered, as she rode home that night, if there was under all those stars another heart so happy as hers ; and then, what a story it was to take into the lone- ly, saddened household—to put new life and comfort into it! There was to be no more fear of rent day ! “Ab, my dear,” said Mrs. Richmond, with a little, swift. start of surprise and pleasure, “it is just the most delightful idea in the world.” It was one day right after dinner, and the two, for a wander, were quite alone to- gether.

C., Aug. 6th, 1877. Dear GENERAL :—Aa to the nativity of Edwin M. Stanton, he was born in the up- per part of Beaufort county, not far dis- tant from the place that the father of Gens. Howell and Thomas Cobb lived before he emigrated to Georgia, though Mr. Cobb lived in Pitt county and left before either of his sons were born. My recollection, or rather impression is, that their mother is a native of Pitt, but Iam _ not certain. Now, if there was no great difference iu Cobb and Stanton, Srs., there certain- ly was a wide difference in the Jrs. The late Confederacy had no more unrelent- ing enemy nor one who showed his bitter- ness of feeling plainer than Stanton, as is always the case when one finds himself arrayed against his native place. . How different with the Cobbs, whose memory will be forever cherished as long as the Confederate struggle is recollected. I take no pride in the memory of a North Caroli- nian who used his very great ability as an organizer to overrun his native land. He belonged to that class of men who seemed to delight in punishingold friends. There is but one of that name in this section and he is a Republican. He is not a bad man. That is all I know of the Stantons that you do not kuow better. But I will add a few remarks about another gifted man who was born and raised within 14 miles of where I am now residing, who in geni- us far surpassed Stanton, and! believe, was fully equal to him in executive abili- ty. I presume you are getting restless for the name of the man and will langh when I give it to yon, His name was John A. Marrell, the most gifted, and in his day, the most famous of all American robbers. All that is left of him is his name in the field where his family resided,—it is stil] called the Murrell field. He left here with his wicked mother after the death of his father, who was a pious man and a miu- ister of the Gospel. In other days, I knew parties who were their ajeghbors and de- scribed the future robber as a very bright boy, but who was so exceedingly bad that his father after having exhausted all the virtues of the rod, uxd to keep him tied daily in his room to keep him out of mis- chief, but the old man died and the moth- er trained him to wickedness, 80 the old neighbors used to say, and for that task she was well qualified, for it was said that she had only one virtue, gnd that was the virtue of womanhood. Is it not strang that she should have had a good reputa- tion where a wicked woman would have been expected first to have fallen, and where so many other good woman have fallen. History takes him up an unknown emi- grant, I think, in Buncombe county, where his mother was engaged in playing a Yan- kee trick on a Yankee peddler, that John might do the stealing, &c. Hig headquar- ters was an island either in the Mississip- pi or Arkansas River. He had.a band extending from there to the James River, so tradition says, all engaged in stealing negroes and horses, and carrying them, y, South to sell. Now why I say was of unrivaled executive ability ; he never chose a man who played false to him and the business was so well mang- . 7 Gov. the New ¥¢ ing letteg, Norra: My Deas Se; to me that two grieve | my PR ee to North Carolina ‘William ona mule and Noah on a gray Close upon their heels came one Barrett Ray, from said Union county, Tenu., who made oath in due form that said mule was his property, and that said William had obtained possession thereof by certain t-bag methods in direct contraveu- tion of the eighth commandment. At the same time and place came also one Robert Love, of said Union county, Penn., who made a similar affidavit in regard to said Noah Reece and the gray horse—where- upon the said William and Noah were ar- rested and lodged in the jail of McDowell county, N. C., to await further proceed- ing. I have the honor, therefore, toawait your Excellency’s pleasure in the premises, aod to assure you that it will afford me no little pleasure to intrust—upor a pro- - requisition—these erring sons of orth Carolina to the correcting hands of your judiciary ; and with assurances of very high personal and official regard, I am, dear sir, very respectfully, your most obedient servent, Z. B. Vance. Gov. Porter promptly sent a requisition for the two “erring sons” of North Car- olian. _—~_<>>o_-—_— (From the Wilmington Star.) That society is becoming more corrupt in the North is the statement of papers and travellers. We donot wonder at this. When we learn what is the prevailing cus- tom in what is known as “society” we are not surprised. What prevents worthless adventurers from finding their way into reputable society? Where are the guards? We find the following in the August num- ber of a leading New York magazine, the Galary: “If the young American will reflect, he will see why some families consider it hardly judicious for a daughter to go alone with a gentleman to whem she is not be- trothed—on a drive in the public streets and parks, on an excursion down the bay, or to the opora at night, topping off the en- tertainment with a little supper, and reach- ing the homestead in the small hour, where she perhaps lets herself in with a night latch key! This is not an exaggeration of the custom that prevails in the majority of families.” How can there be purity where such customs prevail? How can parents and guardians tolerate such a bitter “school for scandle?” We laugh at French cus- toms in regard to the young—how they are shielded and chaperoned. But that is far better than the above license. > Secretary Schurz is reputed as refering in a late conversation to the fact that at the close of the civil war it was predicted that should the Northern section of the repub- lic ever become the scene of internal vio- lence, or a foriegn war threaten the coun- try, thé South would avail itself of the opportunity to re-open the domestic con- flict. Mr. Schurz is said to have added that the late aspect of affuirs seemed to him the moment when such a course was possible, ‘‘but the South has come forward with offers of men and money to put down this violence and maintain the suprema- cy of the government.”—Charlotte Obser- rer. Is Mr. Schurz correctly reported? We had heard of no such tender by “the South,” and do not believe it was made. “The South” would probably have re- sponded to a call of the President, but is it probable ‘‘the South” officiously stepped forward in this case and made a tender of ‘‘men aud money? What “South” has got ‘‘men and money” to offer in a case of such doubtful propriety. Interesting to Municipal Authorities.— Some time ago a man named Godwin-was picked up by the police on the stréets of Raleigh and thrust into the guard-house, where he was made to sleep upon a cold floor and without any covering. He was sick at the time ‘he fell upon the pave- ment, and the subsequent ill-treatment which he received at the hands of the po- lice caused his death. His administrator, thereupon brought suit against the city of Raleigh, laying damages at $5,000. The Superior Court allowed $2,000 and the city appealed to the Supreme Court, which rendered its opinion last Monday, sustain- ing the judgment of the court below. Judge Reade, in delivering the opiuion of the court, compares the gnard-house in which Godwin died to the Black Hole at Caleutta. The case is of interest throughout the State, and should serve as a warning to }municipal authorities.-Charlotte Obser- ver, ——_ —_— ~-~>>-_--—_— The Georgia constitutional convention last Friday, by a vote of 146 to 16, passed a section of the new constitution which re- certain alleged bogus bonds is- pnd eae rr A pene ial at ae » rem te Ae he fot tHe Yoke! 7 . a Fe pp thet he en ginarthe.

A young lady from the Soyth was wooed and won by a young California plysician. About the time the wedding wag to come off the young man lost his entire fortune. He wrote the la- dy a letter releasing her from her en- gagement. And what does the dear, good girl do? Why, shedakes alump of pure gold which her lover had sent her in his prosperity as a keepsake, and having it manufactured into.a ring forwards it to him with the following inscription engrav- ed in distinct characters on the outside: “Entreat me not tu leeave thee, or to re- turn frem following after thee, for whith- er thou goest will I go; and whither. thou lodgest will I‘lodge; thy people will be my people, and thy God my God: where thou diest will I die, and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part me arid thee.” “We may add,” conclpdes the Commercial, “that fortune soon again smiled upon the young physician, and that he subsequently returned tothe South to wed the sweet girl he Ieved, and who love him with such undying affection. Reader, this isalltrue. Young ladies who read the Bible as closely as the heroine of this incident seems to have done are pret- ty sure to make good sweethearts and better wives.” The decision of Judge Cox, lately, at chambers, that the officers of a corpora- tion, charged with concealing its assets, are as much subject to examination under supplementary proceedings in regard to the disposition of its property as an indi- vidual under like circumstances, is a most righteous decision. It would bea sad day for North Carolina if our Courts were to hold otherwise. Honesty and fair dealing are as incumbent upon corporations as upon individuals. Corporations are as niuch accoutable to their creditors for the application of their assets to their debts asindividuals. Weare glad to see that in the eyes of Judge Cox no divinity doth -hedge around corporations.— Ral. News. -——- — -- +p - - - ‘THE SOUTH. The grand old South, with her planta- tion manners, was, after all, the great conservator of civilization in the United States. “She kept the lamp of chivalry alight in hearts of gold.” She preserved the monuments of civil liberty. She ad- justed the true relations between capital and labor. She produced wealth like the over-flowing Nile, which enriched her- self and poured her treasure into every vein and artery of the commercial North, building up splendid cities, making opu- lent corporations and individuals, and creating the possibility of every industri- | flag ous man earning a generous living. She kept society pure and the government un- sullied. Alas! how have erazy fanatics and fools changed all this! The war made upon the South and her institutions has brought forth dreadful fruit. The revela- tions of the past few days demonstrate that the fabric of society, East and West, has dwelt upon a slumbering volcano. Wealth has. been concentrated in the hands of the few ; poverty is the burden of the many. A privileged class has been established, whose chief duty seems to be grinding the faces of the poor. Hard times have followed the big drunk of war andspeculation. Confidence between man and man has been well-nigh destroyed. The granaries of the Union are bursting with plenty, and yet myriads of God’s creatures are hangry for bread.

We confess to a liking for the sturdy English ways of the bold, decided man whose name heads this article, and who} ‘remembered in an important juncture that he was something more than.an English- may; that he was an Anglo-Saxon. . His name should be rémembered with respect wherever our grand old tongue is spoken, whether beneath the cross of St. George and St. Andrew or beneath the flag of the Union. When two Americans, captured on the Virginius, were marched out by the butcher Burriel and ordered to be shot, he intervened and saved their lives. Here is the way one of them tells the in- cident: | “We knelt down, an the orders were given: ‘Prime heavy ; aim, one,’ when the word ‘halt’ canie from the lips of.Captain Sir Lambton Lorraine, who had: mean- while ~sRergoshed _and unwrapped his sword, which was wrapped in the British He threw the flag over Pacheco and mysélf, and said: ‘I am not an American citizen, but-an Anglo-Saxon, the'same as these gentlemen, and if one hair of their heads is harmed Pll blow Santiago de Cu- ba to ’ell!’ ‘You blow Santiago de Cuba to ‘ell,’ said Burriel, why, inside of half an hour I will have you where you. will never see daylightagain.’ ‘Yes, Gen.

Lorraine, ‘in ten minutes I may be in Moro Castle, but my ship lays out there (we could faintly see the tops of the masts); and (pulling eut his watch), if in forty-one minates 1am uot aboard the Niobe the ball opens.

WHAT DOGS COST NORTH CAROLI- NA. To recapitulate, we lose anuually, in raising dogs, $900,000; in feeding dogs, $4,500,000 ; in sheep destroyed, $46,342 ; toaal, $5,446,342, Our consequential loss- es consist in our not possessing one anda half millions of sheep, that we would have but for dogs. And that is our most seri- ous loss; we may not look for thorquglily successful farming withoit sheep: we must learn to regard them, not as 2 mere adjunct of the farm, but as a necessary concomitant. But our losses, great as they are, are growing greater year by year. In 1850 there were in North Carolina 599, - 249 sheep; in 1860, 546,949 ; in 1870, 463,- 435.

It has succeeded thus far beyond the expectations of its originators, and its steadily progressive prosperity is assured already, but the num- ber of its members ought to be tripled. THEO. F.

The removal of the old roof of this build- ing bronght more plainly to light the startling defects in Mr. A. B. Hendren’s construction work. His “self-supporting toot” was little better than a huge man trap. Some of the timbers of the joice and roof were found hanging by from + tot of an inch on the walls!

At the baitles of Antietam and South Mountain a colonel was wounded—hbis arm fearfully shattered and he was borne from the field by his brothers and a private soldier. They earried him across the country a long and toilsome distance, ev- ery step of which was torture to the sufferer, the to house of a Maryland Union farm- er. Then came the ubiquitons Yankee surgeon with his glittering knives and cruel saws, and made hasty preparations to amputate the ailing member. The farmer vehemently, protested, declaring that the man would die if the arm was cut off. The surgeon insisted that the patient would die if the arm was not tak- en off, and the colonel’s brothers coincided with the surgeon. But the determined old farmer despatched his son on his fleet- est horse across the fields to the other side of the mountain after his friend and neigh- bor, a country physician, and a rank reb- el. When the ruatic Eseulapias arrived, there ensued a long contention with the Yankee hewer of bones over the sufferer, but the result was that the arm waa saved, and after some weeks of carefnl oprsing the colonel galloped off to join his regiment, a comparatively sound man. He subse- quently beeame Governor of Ohio, and now fills the Presidential chair.—Phila- delphia Bulletin. eee Beecher, whose heretical Opinions are no secret to his special friends, is said to have once committed to paper his reason for doubting the inspiration of the Scriptures and his belief that all moral law is the logi- cal product of man’s soefal state.

As the leaders of the new movement repu- diate both the old parties, it is difficult to tell how it may affect the old parties, and hence they will both watch its progress with interest.

First, let your cellars be large, we Ul ventilated, and lined with stone or ce- mented above the level of the ground. The breath of life in furnace-heated houses de- pends literally on the air of the cellar, un- leas there be a flue for fresh air extending from the furnanee out-of-doors (never the case in cheap, showy houses). ‘The air of the whole house is sucked through this narrow and often unclean apartment, the care of which is usually intrusted to ig- norant servants. We have spoken in a previous pumber of the malaria engender- ed by massing quantities of vegetables in the cellars, as the practice in farmheuses during the winter. The lining of stone or cement not only prevents dampness, but is absolutely necessary in streets through which the sewers pass, as a protection from rats. Terriers, ferrets, traps, or poison are feeble defenees against the legions which swarm in nightly from a neighboring culvert. Next to the eellars comes the kitchen, which should be large, airy, and sunny. To take no higher ground, conveniences in this department are a politic investment which pay a full interest of capital, especially to the house- keeper who does not live in a large city. Stationary tubs, closets beneath the dress- ers for flour, dry groceries, spices, etc., will be likely to tempt into her household a better class of servants, and, when she is foreed to turn cook and baker herself, will take half the burden from her weary hands. An addition to comfort, much neglected by builders, is the lighting of stairways, closets, pastries. We have in our mind’s eye a modest little house, in a elosely built neighborhood of dark build- ings, which gives you a sunny, cheerful weleome inevery eorner; a result pro- duced not only by windows wherever a window is practicable, but by a sky-light of plate glass whieb send down sunshine through three floors of closets, halls, and pantries. A mistake made glad, which resolves itself into a question of humanity, is the placing the servants’ chambers on the top of the house, be that three or seven stories above the kitchen. Passing along a city street at night one cannot look up at the dim lights burning in these far aky- ey atties without a groan of compassion for the wearied wretches dragging them- selves to their beds up yonder after the day’s hard labor.—Seribner. ae Cleopatra’s Needle.—In preparing to move the obelisk at Alexandria, two inscriptions have been found upon it— one in Latin, the other in Greek.

Details accumulate on all hands in illus- tration of the fact that the Americans are endeavoring, with characteristic energy, to find world-wide outlets far the products of their mechanica) industry, ‘They are pot satisfied with baving driven our iron and machinery opt of their markets by means of a prohibitory tariff but they are also endeavoring to reduoe the demand for our steam engines, our locomotives, and pur general machinery in the leading markets of the world. This was to be avticipated as an inevitable result of the great progress which American epal mipr ing has made during the last seven years. Iron and stee} of American manufacture have become so cheap, and are pradyced upon splarge a sale, that they mast be worked up somehow ; and if the articles jnto which they are converted cannot find @ sale upon American markets they must he disposed of upon the geperal markets of the world. This is the conclusion at which Jonathan has arrived, and it is on- ly anatural consequence of the recpnt course taken by the induatria| history of the United States.

We have al ways fancied that Belgian competition was a bugbear rather than otherwise, It is true that iron has been produced at marvelous- Jy cheap rates upon the Belgian markets, and that some of it has found its way into this country, and has displaced a corres- ponding amount of Englishiron, But the eompetition of Belgian mechanical and metallurgical indystry in this impgrtant cular—is cowparatively limited io extent, and consequently it does not do us the mischief which some writers have supposed. The cage seems wholly (iffer- prent with the American competition with which we are now threatened. The pro- ductive powers of the Americans, to what- ever branch pf human effort they ma flesom themselves, appear to be only }imited by the demand which may spring for their preducts.

LETTER FROM BISHOP MARVIN. FROM 8UEZ TO CaRIO. Our very first experience in Egypt was the world renowned donkeys dnd donkey- bors. On the perpendicular edge of the stone pier at Suez we met them in their strength, clamorous and persistent beyond belief as to which should get possession of our persons and baggage. A half grown moon shed its light upon the scene, or I know not what we should have done. At last our baggage, consisting of two heavy valises and two large shawl-strap bundles, were loaded upon one little donkey, and each of us upon another. Our party, for the moment, consisted of Brother Hendrix, myself, and eight others. Brother Hendrix and [ got the best donkeys of the lot, or else we were the best riders. Away we dashed up the road on our two-mile ridé to the ho- tel, our boys on foot not only keeping up, but urging the donkeys on. These donkey- boys are the best natured fellows in the world, and afford travelers, who are di-pos- ed to enjoy ita great deal of amusement. Mine turned out to be a Nubian as black as ifhehad been created out of a fragment of the old Egyptian darkness; but they are gen- erally Arabs. Brother Hendrix got one of the latter class, and soon learned that the name of his donkey was ‘The Earl of Salis- bury.’ You ought to have heard him laugh. It. put him almost beside himself—the thought that he was bestriding so distin- guished a personage. As for mine, he was distinguished, not for patrician blood, but for the faithful and efficient discharge of his duties. We soon discovered that we were ona railroad embankment, projecting out into the edge of the gulf, with water on both sides of us. As we swept along ata full pace, chatting and laughing over our first Egyption experience, we were suddenly arrested by the cry, ‘Custom house! Custom house!” ‘Where is the Custom house? There is no house here.’ ‘This man, sir, this man here, he is the custom-man; he wants to see your baggage.’ By this time our bag- gage mule was up. We puta bold front on, and told him he had nothing to do with our baggage—that we were travelers, with nothing but clothing. But he made as if he must examine and see if all was right. However, we peremptorily commanded our boys to drive on. He hesitated a moment, but obeyed us. By this time others of our party rode up, and I suppose the ‘custom- house’ had his hands full with them. So We went careering on again, amusing our- selves with the wit of our donkey boys, de- livered in broken English. / We learned afterward that one of our friends gave the faithful official a shilling, which seemed to quiet his conscience completely. We felt much at our ease, having, as we supposed, got by all our difficulties. We had reached the town, and were just turn- ing into the street which led to the Suez Hotel, when we were arrested a second time —Custom-house, sir, custom-house.’ We Promptly informed the distinguised Arab Who appeared in his long black cloak and ted fez hat, that we had already passed one custom-house, and did not intend to be stopped again. ‘Yes,’ vociferated the don- key-boys, ‘de gentleman already pass one Custom-house'—and 80 we pushed ahead. € were soon riding along a narrow street, Well-lighted from the shops which opened fall upon it. It was crowded with people who were out enjoying the festivities inci- dent to the approaching birthday of the Prophet. We turned a corner into another Ratrower street, and still another. These Were too narrow for two abreast, and I had got-well ahead of all the rest, my Nubian all the while urging on his donkey.

We should probably be, before the close of the day, in the land of Goshen, or if not, then certainly very near it. To Ismaili the road follows the course of the canal, then strikes across to Zigzag, in the edge of the Delta of the Nile, making a very circuitous course. What shall I say of this desert? It is all of a piece with that on the Arabian side of the Red Sea, and is, indeed, a part of it. Those who have secn the worst of the Amer- ican deserts in the West may form some idea of it. Like them it is completely des- titute of trees, and yet more entirely bare of wll smaller vegetation than they. For the greater part of the way it isa mere level waste of sand. much of it lying loose, and at the mercy of the wind. In several places we saw sand fences, made for the same pur- pose of protecting the road as the snow fences on the Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroads. The track is in the same danger of being obstructed by sand drifts here as by snowdrifts there. Much of it is a dead level, but there are slight elevations here and there, and in the distance, to the left, some low ranges of rocky, barren, mountains, But all is desert—all is desola- tion. To say there is absolutely no vegetation in the desert would not be quite true. But there are great reaches of it as bare as any sand bank inthe world. Once in awhile, though, there are scattered tufts of a sort of weed, resembling, in its general appearance, one I have seen in the Rocky Mountains, and in 4 few places I saw a smal! shrub that has somewhat. the aspect of the mountain sage, though differing from it considerably. H'llocks of sand are formed where, drifting before the wind, it lodges against the tuft, becomes fixed by their roots, and enlarges as the tuft increases in size. I have seen the like in American deserts, The canal taps two considerable lakes in its course, both of which are in full view from the railroad, The surface of these, rippling in the rays of the sun, relieves the brown baldness of the desert very pleas- antly. A short branch of the road, only a mile or two in length, runs down to Ismaili; on to this the train is switched. After run- ning down to town, we back up tothe main track, and leaving the course of the canal, which we enter about seventy miles south of Cario. On nearing the Delta we first come upon some lines and patches of ver- dure, and a few palm trees; then, ere we are aware of it, we-are in the midst of an ocean of green fields, with groves of palm here and there, the whole presenting a wealth of rily exclaim, ‘We are in a new world /” There is probably no place on earth where the most abounding life is brought into such close contrast with the blankest deso- lation. The nearest approach to it I have ever seen is in the valley of the great Salt Lake in Utah Territory. From this point to Cario we are in the midst of fields of wheat, barley, clover, flax, oats, and various species of vegetable. The cereals are just in full head, not yet begin- ning to change color. Green, deep, luxu- riant green refreshcs the eye on all sides. I at first mistook the wheat for barley, it is so short and large. The stalk is not remark- ably long, but thick upon the ground. The flax is ripening, and patches of this offer the only points of -ontrast with the other- wise universal verdure. One large field of onions I saw, and thought, of course, of the ‘leeks and onions.’ In the midst of all this the mud villages appear every here and there. Every traveler in Egypt observes these, and remarks upon them as a repulsive feature in the otherwise cheerful landscape. They are indeed so, but yet the average hut of the Egyptian vii lage is larger than that of the villages iu the valley of the Ganges. Here, as there, the rural population all cluster together in villages. But the village of the Nile is a more promi- nent object, and attracts more notice, being surrounding flelds, which are literally as level asa floor. This is a necessary incident of the annual inundation. These elevations them- selves, however, are not above the reach of the greatest floods. A very striking object in sight at every turn is the water-wheel, used in elevating water out of the canal for purpose of irri- gation. Canals check the Delta everywhere, and the land is irrigated very freely. But the surface of the canal is several feet below that of the fields, so that the water cannot heavily bearded.

The sun was still an hour high as we ap- proached the great city. ‘The Pyramids!’ exclaimed a passenger. All heads were thrust of the windows in an instant. Sure enough there they were, great Cheops and hiaycompanions, beyond the§river, on the edge of the desert. Soon the minarets and larger buildings of Cairo began to appear. Like the great cities of India, it has many buildings in the Euro- pean style. The Western civilization is penetrating: the East—there can be no doubt of it. It appears first in its material expres- sion—into the more purely intellectual re- gion of science and philosophy, and higher region of faith, it enters with greater difficul- ty. So, also, it appears first in the cities, and among the commercial and wealthy classes, diffusing itself slowly through the country, and among the ignorant masses. As we drove through the streets from the depot in the spacious, open-sided omnibus of Shepherd's Hotel, we passed along a mile, perhaps, of massive and elegant build- ings on both sides. It is by far the largest city of Egypt, and is said to be the second in size of the Mussulman wofld. The hotel was found to be a spacious building, with excellent rooms, elegantly furnished. The eating is choice, the attendance first-rate, the washing faultless— prices up to the American standard, with a good many extras that you can take or dispense with at pleas ure, From Yokohama onward, through the. cities of China, in the Straits Settlements, in Ceylon, and througout India, we found ourselves in an English atmosphere. I have referred to this in former communications. But the moment you land at Suez you be- come conscious of a change. In Egypt everything is decidedly Frenchy. Busjness and postals signs are in French. Tailors’ shops are Sartoria. Your hotel waiter is an elegantly got-up Frenchman, in spotless linen and a swallow-tail coat. Your bill of fare isin French. The Museum is ‘Musee D’ Antiquites Egyptiennes’ At the railroad depot, if you would know which is the waiting room for men, and which for wo- men, you must be able to read French. So of every thing else. Yet at your hotel you will find nearly all the guests English, and the clerk, though probably a Frenchman, will be able to con- verse very fluently in English. -—---— RAILROAD DISCRIMINATION. The following resolution has been in- luxuriant productiveness in such violent troduced in the State Convention of Geor- contrast with the desert that we involunta-' gia now in session. Resolved, That railroad corporations or other public carriers heretofure or hereafter chartered by the State of Georgia shall not be allowed to charge discriminating rates for transporting freight or travel, bat that the charges of such vorporation shall be uniform per mile within said State, aud it shall be the duty of the General Assem- bly, by appropriate legislation, to carry this section into effect.” Commenting on this our excellent neigh- bor, the Wilson Advance, says: ‘The agaitation of this question is creating a healtheir sentiment among the people everywhere. The tone of the press, the action of the Legislatures and the recent decisions of the courts, all point to a re- formation on this subject. Railroads, like other carriers, are chartered for the public convenience, But for that object, they never could have had an existence, the object for which they are created is not violated. It could not be expected that any State would grant a few individuals extraordinary and exclusive privileges over others to build ap one section of the State to the injury of another, or to en- rich one community and impovegish av- other. Such a proposition would be an ciples upon which our government is founded. “We refer to this proposition in the Georgia Convention to show that railroad companies have, by unjust discrimation, made themsclves obnoxious to the people of tlat State. And it will be so every- where if they are permitted with impupi- ty to exercise arbitrary powers and dis- crimivate in their charges without limit and regardless of cousequences.

Though old and battle scarred, he listen- ed with attention to the questions pat to him as the possibility of Marshal Ney’s escape to America, and when our inform- ant’s friend, through an in reter, told him of the pretentions of the North Caro- lina exile, a grim smile passed over his face and he answered with a faltering voice as if the scene of the great Marshal's execution was still present to his mind: Marshal Ney does not live. I saw him shot and buried. Butif the gentlemen wish to satisfy themselves, I will show them the best portrait of Marshal Ney of France.” Whereupon he led the way to the hall ‘of the Marshals of France. Remaining a mute spectator while our North Carolina friends scanned the features of each of the uniformed figures hanging from the walls, and after a careful examination of every portrait, the old soldier broke the silence by asking: “Does the gentleman reeog- nize his friend among any of the Marshals of France?” Jt is hardly necessary to say that the question and the tone in which it was put implied all the contempt which a follower of Napoleon Bonaparte might be supposed to feel for one who should assame the role-of 4 French Gen- eral. Quickly resuming his accustomed Sow he pointed out the portrait of Ney, which our informant’s friend carefully examined again and again until he was forced to admit that it bore not the slight- est resemblance to his acquaintance of North Carolina. ae Judge Moore Indicted.—We understand a little flare-up occurred at Carteret Su- perior Court between Judge Moore and the sheriff in regard to the subject of colored jurors. It seems there were none of the brethren on either the grand or petty juries. The judge wanted to know why this was so. The sheriff told him it was because there were only twelve negroes in the county who had paid their taxes, and that the names of six of these had been thrown out with the names of two hundred whites, as unfit fur jurors. The judge had the county commissioners be- fore him, who corroborated the sheriff's statement. He then ordered the sheriff to summon colored jurors from those present. The sheriff looked round and told the judge he saw none present fit to serve as jurors. The jadge then pointed out certain ne- groes in the courthouse and ordered the sheriff to summon them. This affair gave umbrage to the com- munity and was considered an unjustifia- ble interference with the duties of the commissiouers and the sheriff, and the grand jury indicted the judge for mal- feasauce in office.— Raleigh News.

Anniversary of Prince Milan’s Accession. Lonpon, August 23.—A special edition of the Standard has the following Buchar- est dispatch this afternoon: ‘The Turks attacked Tirnova yesterday, but were re- pulsed. The engagement was re-com- menced to-day. Osman Pasha’s troops made an attack on Selvi with the inten- tion of adyancing upon Gabrave, but Priuce Mirsky repulsed them even before the arrival of a division which he asked for aa a reinforcement.” Details received here regarding the battle in the Shipka pass state that the Russians repulsed successively ten vigor- ous attacks made by the Turks, the posi- tions of the Russians being very strong. It is not true that the forces of Lieutenant General Mehemet Ali and Sulieman Pasha have effected a junction. The Russians are preparing to attack several Turkish positions.” GERMANY’S PROTEST.

(From the London World.) One day last week a correspondent of the Times bronght a great discovery to the notice of that Journal in the following letter: ‘I chanced lately to go into a village shop where cotton goods are sold. On the counter lay a large piece of cotton cloth or calico, on which was stamped ap eagle on a rock, occupying ten inches, with the works. ‘This cloth was made in America ;’ and a.second piece, also Ameri- can, with the name of an English firm as agent, both a penny a yard cheaper than the English of the same, or rather inferior, quality.” Nothing more important has ever hap- pened in the history of English trade than the threatened displacement of our cotton manufactures by those of America. Yet we have for months looked in vain fora word in the “leading journals” on the subject. Piece goods from the Lonsdale Mills, of New York Statd, are now sold in every town in England at lower price and of better quality than English goods of a nominally corresponding grade. The fact is that the Americans are beat- ing us in our own field—a fact’ which it may take the political economist and city editors a long time to digest, but which, unfortunately, will soon be broaght home to us all by the spectacle of thousands of ies ny ’ 1 eet a ee ¥ CT + . A be id , wa # sor T ak 7 7 Macon for te: Ocean |a% ip thi and Turkey, is such as to excite the gra- Almost every one of the European powers is “armed to the teeth,” maintaining, at enormous expense, an immense army, and each one watching all the others, ready to meet them at every‘step that may be ta- ken. Nor is the religious element one of the least grounds for apprehension. In France and Italy the adherents of the Pa- pacy have been, for some time past, en- deavoring to excite a spirit that may at any moment break out in a religious era- sade, renewing the scenes of blood that have filled the world with horror in cen- turies past. That we are not’ expressing these views, merely as distant and unin- formed observers of the scene, will appear by the following extract from a well-con- sidered article in the London Record, the Church of England paper, together witha document that we published some weeks since in regard to the revival of a Papal military corps throughout Europe and over the world. The Record says: “There are manifest indications that, so far as the power of the Papacy extends, we are on the eve of another religious war. It may not break out, because there may not be the means, even in the midst of present confusion, of bringing on actu- al conflict.’ But the Papal authorities are assiduous in organizing and drilling their supporters, and that in. military form, as would any secular State menaced with in- vasion or meditating reprisals upon an adversary. It will not be the fault of the Church of Rome if Europe is. not once more deluged with blood. The same sa- cerdotal spirit which aimed at universal dominion in the middle ages, and sought it through the carnage of all epponents, is now, without disguise, endeavoring to compass its ends with the old organiza- tions which then reduced the fairest por- tions of Enrope to ashes and destruction. There is probably no diminution in the activity of Jesuitical intrigue, but Rome now wauts hands as well as brains—the sword as well as the subtle web of the clerical diplomatist. There may be just so much external deference for the precepts of Christianity that, if her aims could be accomplished without bloodsied, this course would be preferred. So, if by cre- ating alarm, men could be terrified into subjection without proceeding to actual violence, this would be deemed not only more politic, but more becoming. There is not, however, manifest any disposition to shrink from appea ing to the ‘ultima ratio,’ if neither persuasion nor alarm suf- fices. Every effort is being made to stim- ulate bigotry and fanaticism into action. “Witness the resuscitation or the evok- ing of what is most blasphemously term- ed the ‘Militia of Jesus Christ,’ with the blessing and under the sanction of Pio Nono. In the programme of the Associ- ation a ‘Catholic crusade’ is announced, and ‘as arms are not possible at this mo- ment,’ the soldiers engaged in it are, we suppose, until the times are more favora- ble, to content themselves with prayer and other means for revindicating the rights of the Holy See. It is expressly stated that this ‘militia’ was founded in 1209 by St. Dominic to combat schisms and heresy. How this was accomplished then by this ‘militia’. under Simon de Montfort and the legate Arnold, of Ci- teaux, history tells us. When the crusa- ders appeared before Beziers, which re- fused to surrender, ‘there shal] not,’ said the Papal Legate, ‘be left one stone upon another ; fire and sword shall devour men, women, and children.’ ‘Men, women, children, and clergy, were indiscriminate- ly slaughtered, while the bells of the ca- thedral were rung until the massacre was complete.’ This militia, Spanish in its origin, the Pope has reconstituted, and it has already gathered more than a million volunteers, principally in Franee and Bel- gium. It is reported to be cansing seri- ous concern to the Italian Government. We cannot wonder that when, as iu France recently, a Government has been over- turned, not sup to be well affected to Ultramontanism, Germany and Italy have felt that there was a menace address- ed to them which it would be unwise to disregard. If the times were to prove propitious ; if the Pope could ery Havoc and let slip the dogs of war, which he is at phen holding a deash, oath ean tell whether horrors paralleling, aps sur- ng, the fraitic excesses of the French ommune, might not once more be witnessed? At any rate, they would be no novelty, but in full ac nee with abundance of lent in the history of the ‘militia’ recently in the background but now resuming its importance. Fresh intelligence from Rome, stating that the Vatican has settled upon a grand plan for a.crusade, to be called ‘The International Catholic League,” makes the publication of the document referred to iv the proceeding quotation timely. It is the Constitution and Ordinances of the so- called “Militia of Jesus Christ.” It was pablished some weeks since in the foreign papers. The organization is said to have enlisted great favor in France, where a strong effort has been made to revive the ancient devotion to the Romish Chureh. | The late. comeourse of pilgrims to Rome nv she oS vest apprehensions in regard to the future.

AT THE UNITED STATES CENTENNIAL World’s Exposition, 1876 MASON & -HAMLIN CABINET ORGANS Unanimously assigned the “FIRST RANK IN THE SEVERAL REQUISITES” Of sueh Instruments !

This is gftér the severest competition by the best makers, before one of the most competent juries ever assembled. They have also received the MEDAL, but, as ia well known, medale of eygual merit have been awarded all articles deemed worthy of recognition; so that it will be easy for many makers to advertise that they have received “first medals.” The differences in competing articles, and their comparative excellence, are retognized ad following is an extract: ‘“‘THE MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO.’s exhibit of Reed Organs and Har- moniums shows Instruments of the FIRST RANK INTHE SEVERAL RE- QUISITES OF INSTRUMENTS OF THE CLASS: viz.: Smoothness and equal distribution of tone, scope o expression, resonance and singing qual- ity, freedom and quickness in action of keys and bellows, with thorough- ness of wor manship, combined with simplicity of action.” (Signed by allthe Judges.) The Mason and Ham- lin Organs are thus declared to rank first, not in one or two respects only, but in the SEV- EKAL REQUISITES of. such inatru:nents, and they are the ONLY ones assigned this jrank.

TTI ET 19,500 NEW FARMS STARTED WITH- IN A YEAR. Does any one know how many new farms were opened iu the States and their Territories last year; how many new log cabins haye been built; how many acres of virgin sojl plowed up for the first time? It is not probable that any one does know with exactness; but there js a little table in the report of the Secretary of the In- terior, presented to Congress sometime ago, which funishes the material for an approximately correct answer to these questions, During the year ending with June last there was taken up under the homestead law 1,875,900 acres. New land taken up under the homestead Jaw is fur actual cultivation, and is generally taken jn lots of 160 acres. It would appear therefore, that more than 17,000 new farms were commenced last year under the homestead Jaw alone, But this is not all. There were sold during the year 640,961 acres for cash, and 137,370 acres were al- lotted on military land warrants, Itisno doubt true that a portion of these 778,331 acres were bought or entered by other than actual settlers, by speculators or by persons who made investments of this na- tare for future purposes, It would be fair to estimate, however, that one-half of the 778,331 acres were purchased or entér- ed for the purpose of immediate settle- ment or cultivated ; and this calculation would give us 2,432 more new farms of 160 acres each. There were also 21,048 acres entered ypon the Sioux and Chip- pewa half-breed strip, and 607,948 acres taken up under the timber culture law. Leaving these two latter items out of the calculation, we haye an aggregate of about 19,500 new farms cammenced du- ting the year. This means 19,500 new homes. In about five years from now these 19,500 farms, under good manage- ment ought to produce annually some 20,000,000 hushels of wheat, some 40,000, - 000 bushels of corn, and some 400,000 head of cattle or swine—making provi- sions more than evongh to furnjsh meat and brea for New York city for a whole yeat,—Chicago Journal of Commerce.

How Some Women Make Purchases in New Fork. | Says a New York correspondent : Some of the Broadway dry goods men say smug- gling has bad scarcely any effect on their trade. Others think it has hurt them a good deal. They tell some queer yarns about the bargain hunters who spend their days running about, like Mrs. Tood- les, in quest of something cheap, Said one the otherday: ‘Give aregular shop- per a hint that there are some smuggled goods in the market, and she'll spEnd a week hunting all over town. Ten to one she hasn't the slightest use for anything in the lot, but that’s neither here nor there. If goods are smuggled they must be bar- guins, and she is bound to have something gut of the lot, anyway, want or no want.” One of the walkers in a Broad way store tells this story: Do women prefer smuggled goods? Well, not all, but a pretty large number do. Let me te}l you what qopurred jn our room not long ago. A lady who spends five days in the week shopping came in as usual and wanted to see a piece of silk. She had been in almost every day, and of course nearly always went off without buying. This time the clerk who had to wait on ber turned round when he had a chance and offered to bet five dojlars with another clerk that he’d make her buy enough silk for a dress. The bet was taken on the spot. Then the clerk got down to work. He took down piece after Pipee, spread them out, pjlled them up in heaps till a dozen she] vps were emptied, and talked till he began to grow hoarse. But jt was no use, She objected to one piece after another, now the quality, now the shade, now the price; but still the young man kept on. He wag at it fully an hour when she got up to go. Then his strategy came into play. Leanjng over the counter he motion to her to come near, and then said in a whisper : “Madam, can I say a word iu stzjct oan fidence?” She nodded, and he went on. “You would like g peal bargain, wouldn't yout” Shé'nodded again, © * “Well, this is just how it is. That young man,” motioning with his head to the clerk with whom he had made the bef, “has a fine piece of smuggled silk that he will sell very low. Of course he can’t say anything about it himself, but I can show jt now, if you want to gee it.” “Well, I want to look at it.” Putting his hand upder the goupter he brought tip a pices af silk that he had sfipped dawa when she was getting up to fart She eximined jt and asked thp ‘Three dollars ie the regular price’ for the same goods, but you can have this fer two. snes pis) &t° of “You say it ia smuggled 1” 2 of the prgspecte for a good fall ; Degeperte fo Gi ped down, and, as the jufige was “ghit gradually &} ward the foot 1 while be was lying awake, his foot touch- ed it, and ft felt very cold} he qwas sur-}~ often troublesome gnd expensive.

Now yon Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and gen- tly removed the covers. The judge held thp broom uplifted, and as soon as the black ribbon of the watch was revealed, he cracked away three or four times with his broom. Then he pushed the thing off in- et to the light to jnvestigate the matter. When the judge saw what it was, he said : “I might’ve known that. Just like you women, to go screeching and fussing about nothing. Who's going to pay me for that watch? It’s utterly ruined.” lt was you that made the fuss, not me,” said Mrs. P. You needn't try to put the blame on me.” “Oh, bush up and go to’ bed. I’m tired of hearing you blather.

Envy shooteth at others and woundcth herself. Frowns blight young children as frosty nights blight young plants. A cheerfull face is nearly as good for an invalid as healthy weather. Most of our misfortunes are more support- able than the comments of our friends upon them. No charity should be extended to those who are not as willing to do justice as they are to receive it. The wealth of a man is the number of things which he loves and blesses, and which he is loved and blessed by. Be not hasty to cast off every aspersion that is cast upon you. Let them alone for a while, and then, like mud on clothes they will rub off. The memory of an eye is the most death- less of memories, because there, if anywhere, you catch a glimpse of the visible soul at it sits by the window. eS PRP RRR ERB To the Working Class.—We are now prepared to furnish all classes with ecnstant employment at home, the whole of the tine, or for their spare moinents.

THOUGHTS ON THE DEPARTURE OF SUMMER. —_—— [BY WHO.] Hail autumn! and summer fare thee well: Adue, to thy gorgeous evening skies, And soft breezes that did round us swell, Aud faned us gently in sweet surprise! Farewell to your gratefal shades at noon, And those dear streams, flowing through and by ; Thy broad fields of never fading bloom— Yea, farewell, if from us you must fly. Theearth grew beautiful beneath thy reign; Flowers ne’er dimed, nor leaves grew sear; And with thee came thetull bearded grain, ‘To reward the reaper for his care. Yea, by thy oft repeated showers, _ Thou didst make earth tn abunaanee yield All grasses, grain, fruits, herbs and sweet flowers In the forest, garden and the field. Thou, summer, art the great perfector— Dame vature’s most assiduous nurse— And of all life, the best protector, Of all the seasons, in their onward course. Yea, man, beasts, birds, insects and all plants Depend on thee for their lives and food, And through thy agencies heaven grants Tv all things on earth their greatest good. But if you will go, go whence you came, To the far off, fertile Sunny South! Where nought will impede or check thy reign, Mar thy beauty, or stint thy growth. You there can flourish, through all the year Dispensing the bounties of a queen ; Giving to all ’round thee, life and cheer, And new pleasure with each changing scene. Oh, that I could but take wing with thee, I'd haste where you shed your richest smiles On waving forests, and heaving sea— Old towers and all romantic wilds: Yea, there would I dwell, forevermore, Where all that is seen, by day or night, Must even thrill the heart, down to its core, With ecstatic joy, and pure delight! There I'd dwell, where birds forever sing In umbrageous groves that never fade, And sparkling, pellucid fountains spring, To keep cool their most delicious shade ; While a balmy sweetness fills the air, ‘That inspires life with every breath ; Giving new charms to all that’s there, And satisfaction to all but death. But, I am fettered and canuot fly With thee, oh summer, to thy native clime; Though autumn be here, and winter nigh, Nay, I cannot tly with thee, like time;— But, thou art, indeed, my heart’s best love, And in thy absence, I'll long for thee As do the saints, in heaven above, For their fiiends when they from earth go free. Oh, remorseless winter! in my heart Isbrink from your cold and bitter storms; I feel now, the terrors you impart— For evil comes with you in all its forms; — When savagely you sweep the trembling earth, And all that is lovely, from her face, In your stubborn, and relentless wrath Leaving but desolation in their place. You've pelted earth with many a blast Of cold wind, driving rain, sleet and snow, | And spit out venom ou all you passed, Hissing loud at grief und mortal woe. There’s no pity in thy icy heart— You revel, and rejoice in pain ; Stinging with keen torture every breast And heart till they weep, but weep in vain. Oh, winter! cruel, merciless, savage !— Dreaded of all that is beautiful and good ; For like a starving beast you ravage, Screaming loud for prey o’er field and tlood; Despising the delicate and the lovely, Waging an eternal war with life; Seeking destruction, and that ouly, Through the wildest, blustering storms of trife. But hush my heart, this strain of sadness, Nor grieve ye for ills that here must be; For to despond is worse than madness: It enslaves the soul that should be free. Then, letautumn and winter do their worst, And in their mad rage lay all things bare That they can destroy, by wind or trost; They can only growl for half the year. Thank God, death nor winter cannot last ; All streams that freeze soon thaw again, And new buds come when winter’s past, And with April’s quick’ning showers of rain, Leaves will unfold, and in living green Robe out once more nature’s giant frame In vestments as rich as e’er were seen Before winter's desolating reigu!— Sowhile the sharp winds of autumn pinch, And go whistling o’er the barren field, And winter steals slowly on, inch by inch, And all in death to their sceptre yield.— We'll prepare to meet each gathering storm, Whether of wind, frost, hail, sleet or snow, Or all combined, in more direful form, Than ever a storm was known before. True, by earth’s tempests we may be pressed, And their dark wavesn fierce conflict roll Heavy thro’ the heart, and o’er the breast; But they cannot crush or harm the soul. If we will only but keep striving, Ever for right, and against the wrong, We shall triumph, if not while living, When the last faint breath of life is gone. But as our lives are effervesent, 0 mere mortal should e’er postpone A known duty, stern or pleasant, But do well at once, what should be done. For there are no birds in last year’s nest, Tho’ the birds may come and build again, And in the green groves long take their rest, And there sing a new and sweeter strain, But hark, how the wind comes thunder- ing on! And the heavens will soon be overcast With clouds, so dense, so dark and strong, Presaging a winter long to last ; But brave hearts from aie never run As cowards, before their strength is tried, Or the dreaded conflict has begun— Fiercely to be waged on either side. Oh faint not then, when sorrow cometh, Or threat’ning storms in the distance loom; Remember, faith with trials runneth, Ave victories oft from courage come. To teach us patience and give us stren So for each trial, we'll be thankfal, Aud conquer all fears thro’ them at ae And reach the haven at last, if faithful. And when our conflicts all shall end, And we be victors at last proclaimed ; Oh what a zest to our joys ’twill send, To see through what trials they were gained. Each cross will then a crown appear, Tho’ we bore them with an aching breast; But this will give a still greater charm, To all in glory when there we rest. Then look not back, but to the future, For there we shall be, if ever bleased, And tind all purer, brighter, better Than have any ante-ty pes expressed. Oh say! who will eare for sorrews then? Or, for changes that have come and gone? When but for one moment, we have been In our last, bright, sweet summer home! E’en now, of that blest land I’m dreaming, Dreaming! oh yes, ’'m dreaming, night and day: Where beauty, life aud health are teaming, And nought that is, shall ever know decay; But grow in perfectness aud in sweetness, All bathed in a golden tide of bliss ; Giving beyond all thoughts of greatness, Joys no mortal dare or earth to wish. Up then, for the summer land of rest, Where winter and storms have fled away; And where all that come are ever blessed, And all nights been swallowed up by day ; There me thinks I see a glorious throng Of dear friends I missed so long ago; I hear them singing, I know the song, They’re ever hymuing, so sweet and low. It sounds to me like bells were pealing, Over a deep, wide and stormy sea ; Yes, their sweet melody is ever stealing Gently down, and whispering nnto me: Rest will be sure, tho’ lite be dreary, But day will not dawn till night is past ; Joy ends all journeys to the weary— And the heart’s best home wil] be its last. Cheer up then, oh heart, faith’s beams glisten Upon the breast of life’s troubled sea; And school thy spirit well to listen To those loved songs that are sung for thee By holy angels, who are keeping Constant guard ’rouud all those they love, And bottle up the tears they’re weeping, To make jewels for their crowns above. Peace, then, oh desponding heart be still, Nor complain that life is here so brief— When, if spent aright, we know death will Bring to all a sure and swift relief. Why then for seasons care, e’en should they fly Swifter than they’ve ever flown before ; If to the bright sammer home on high You go, where changes will come no more. ——_——_ ~<a -- From the New York Clipper. CIRCUS REMINISCENCE OF “LONG AGE.” WRITTEN FOR THE NEW YORK BY W. H. NEAVE. HOW AARON TURNER GAVE A CIRCUS PER- FORMANCE IN CONNECTICUT THREE YEARS ANTERIOR TO THE REPEAL OF THE LAWS PROHIBITING THEM. CLIPPER, Prior to the opening of the circus trav- eling season of 1349, the proprietors form- ed a combination whose objects were the reduction of salaries and the restraining of the volition of performersand musicians. Only one, Aaron Turner, held aloof from | i this combination. He was always odd. | ' Before this epoch he was votable for close- ness aud exacting shrewdness. Headopt- | ed the opposite course in his old age, and | at this time, whether from policy or lib- | -erality, it gave him his choice of perform- | ersand musicians. He engaged myself , and brother, at liberal salaries, as leader ‘and director of his music, with orders to secure the best possible material for the band, making no stipulations rega:ding salaries other than to keep his interests in view as fur as compatible with the ex- cellence of the band; consequently we got the flower of traveling musicians in Phil adelphia and New York. The stock and “boys” had wintered in Danbury, Ct., where the whole company was to assem- ble and start from. sons Nap and Tim, Jem Meyers, H. | | | There we found his fo aera H. Magilton, Mike Lipman, et} | al., in ‘Turner’s Hotel !—for Aaron, though | owning over half of Danbury, having farms in all directions, and ‘‘wads” of bank stock, kept a hotel. His part in the management of it, however was simple ' enough, consisting mainly in beating all of his guests at chequers, pipe-smoking and story-telling. The band did not all get together until the morning of the day prior stfrting oat. Turner had had posters put up all over town and the adjoining country stating that, after much research by efficient agents and great outlay of money, he was | proud to say that he had got together the finest band ever heard on this continent, and that they would give a grand concert on the afternoon of April 10 in the cireus- tent, the company to leave fur New York State next day. In view of this, the band assembled promptly after break - fast in the hptel ball-room for a prepara- tory rehearsal of a suitable programme for said concert. After the first piece, Aaron called me out and said sotto voce : “You just rehearse the band in a pro- gramme of brass-band and orchestra-mus- ic suitable for a regular circus performance, as that is what will really be given this afternoon ; but tell no one that I said so,” “But,” I replied, greatly alarmed, “I and every one aiding in a circus perform- ance in this State are liable to a fine of five hundred dollars.” “Don’t I know it?’ he rejoined con- | temptuously, “and ain’t I, as proprietor, | in amount to $840,495. liable to a fine of twenty thousand dollars? Your facial knob obstructs your vision in such matters, The people in this sec- ’| tion are eager and crazy to see a circus performance; and it has somehow got around that there will be something of the sort thisafternoon, There will be as biga crowd as you ever saw, and lote of sharp lawyers from all parts of the State, ‘on the lay’ for me and my boys, Themajscr- able pack! they would rob me of money I have made by tact, hard work and risk, toenrich the treasury of a State that cruelty denounces the business I made it in. Bat they can’t do it. The coon’s not up the tree they’re watching.” _, “But,” said I, comforted by the confi- dent tone of this shrewd long-head, “how can it_be done with impunity ?”.. “Never you mind my boy; that’s my business. Trust me ; it will be all right. If not, I will make it right with you and the rest of the aiders and abettors. I don’t care for the money Imay make; I only want to beat them and laugh at them. Now go and attend to your band-rehear- sal.” Before dinner the town was thronged with swarms of people. After dinner we (the band) went to the canvas, not wholly free of misgivings. The dense crowd round the ticket-wagon and entrance was im- penetrable ; so we had to go round by the dressing-room. This spectacle of real old-fashioned circus doings” in the then ‘“‘blue-belly” State utterly dumbfounded me. Aftep’the canvas was packed clear up to the ring, it was found that the fill- ing of our one-center-pule tent had not perceptibly lessened the great crowd out- side; but all New-Englanders are quict, orderly and philosophic, so the ‘outs” stood around to listen to the music inside. After the usual three opening pieces had been played, old man Aaron “stepped to the front.” All who remember him can- not have forgotten how inimitably his tongue fillipped his whole voice through his nose. With his head bent forward and “left oblique,” he raised his eyes, peering around with a cunning, exultant twinkle in them, and, in an exceedingly matter- of-course and rich nasal tone of voice, he said: The concert is The company go to York State to-morrow morning to begin their Sum- mer tour. It is necessary that the boys practice their acts with the music, so that they and the band may fully understand each other; and as the band did not convene till this morning, there is only this after- noon left to do it in; and as the concert is now ended, they will commence at once as soon as you all get out.” And he turned and went out, but at once came back again and said: “Ladies and gentleman : now over. ‘‘Ladies and gentlemen: If any of you care to remain and see my boys practice their acts with the band, you are at liber- ty to do so; but, as I said before, the con- cert, for which you paid your money, is now over.” Well! the agony also was now over. We vow saw through the millatone aud amelt a very large ‘‘mice.” budged. Not a soul The “circus went on in the us- ual way,” omitting only the grandiose an- nouncemenuts of names and acts by the ring-master. The sharp lawyers were egregiously sold, nonsulted by “the old | man,” and left with without a peg to hang a cross question on, except their own heads, which, at that particular juncture, were useful to them only as hatpegs. But hav- ing bought their tickets for the coucert(?), they staid, like good boys, aud enjoyed the circus. LL The Philadelphia adventuress, Mrs. Wal- lingford had a claim against the Govern- ernment for $270,845 for furniture and prop- erty appropriated and destroyed by the Union army in Murray county, Ga. came up in the House, this time increased To prove her loy- alty she submits affidavits from Licutenant Moritz Von Entress Fuersteneck, of the Sixty-eighth New York Volunteers, and from another Union officer, Lieutenant Bus- | ing, and several other persons of whose loy- alty there is no evidence. To support her statement that her property was taken, affidavits from six or seven persons are sub- mitted. The committee take the view that there is no evidence of the claimant's owner- ship of the property except her own state- ment; that the evidence as tu the amount of property taken is vague and indefinite; and, finally, that the proof of the claimant's loy- alty is iusufficient. Very much like Mrs. Lee Brown's claim for about $9,000—property to certified by two men who ought to have known it was false. The claim was disproved and not al- lowed. a A Mountarn Currosrry.—At our office can be seen a curiosity in the shape ofa stick cut from a singular-looking tree, situe- ted in Jones’ Gap, among the Blue Ridye Mountains of North Carolina. The stick measures about six feet long, one and one- half inches in diameter, and glistens like polished rosewood. The grain of the wood is of three different shades, and varies alter- ternately in rings from centre to circumfer- ence. Even the tree from which the stick was cut is decked with parti-colored leaves, and the excursionists from whom we receiv- ed the gift says it is one of the most beau- tiful natural curiosities they have ever seen. —Ninety-Siz Herald.

The little party were eighteen duys on foot, camping out at night and subsisting almost entirely on berries and the pro- duct of the boy’s—the eldest child —hunt- ing forages. Occasionally they received assistance from settlers, and mecting a large stage load of passengers ou their way North received a paper sack filled with crackers and a purse of $8 cash. They reached the railroad in good health, and, receiving reduced rates of fare by rail and steamer, arrived here with $38 in hand and in excellent spirits. When it is realized that the youngest child is not yet three years old and that another child is just turned five years, the success of the long tramp will be appre- ciated. Mrs. Scranton left last evening for Kertucky by way of Indianapolis, and hopes to reach her father’s home Sunday morning with a little money left. —_~aao———_—_— Scaffold Repentance. A few weeks since, on one day, in Eastern Pennsylvania, eleven men were hung for murder. As a matter of course, each one forgave sheriff, lawyers and witnesses, and then went straight from the-seaffald into heaven. This opportunity given to condemned criminals should be taken away. The whole effect on public sentiment is bad; and what impression must we get of heaven, if criminals, almost without exception, are sent directly there after the expiation of their crime on the scaffold. A contempo- rary utters the following timely words, every one of which we hearti- ly endorse : Scaffuld repentance has, so to speak, gone toseed. The crop is the exten- sion of “forgiveness,” by the criminal to all mankind. He forgives the friends of the victim of his murderous hand ; furgives the jury that found him guilty ; forgives the prosecuting The | Senate committee sat upon the claim, but it | | supposition that the warning he would attorney, the witnesses, and the judge who pronounced sentence against him. ITe issues a general pardon, and thus, by the munificence of his am- nesty, brings the relentless vengeance of law, which is about to choke him to death, into a sorry contract. Thus he ascends to heaven in the midst of a grand moral triumph. The old custom of inviting the doomed to make a farewell speech, came of the reasonaby be expected to utter would add to the moral influence of the spec- tacle. But the spectacle was found, by experience, to be immoral in its tendencies, and was, therefore, hidden from the public. One Step further is needed : let the doomed die in silence. A course of crime, culminating in murder, is not a good preparation for making edifying barangues.—Luth. Observer. THE receipts of the American Bible Society for July were $35,813 ; copies of Scriptures issued, 53,316 volumes. At the meeting of the Board of Managers, August 2d, provision was made for the publication of the Psalms in Japan, and for a new edi- tion of the Testament, in Honolulu, for the people of Gilbert’s Island. The money appropriations amount- ed to $2,531, and the number of books granted, including 804 for the foreign field and five volumes for the blind, was about 10,000.

It is evident that the bill proposed by me to the Na- tional Assembly, and which was taken up again by my friends in the exist- ing Chamber of Deputies, will be set aside for a long time. - It will become very difficult to carry on any evangeli-_ cal missionary work, at least outside of the great towns, I lately received a most interesting call from some thoughtful men, who, weary uf Catho- licism, were convinced that it must be overthrown, not by scepticism, but by a true and earnest faith. They invited dit td Chingy at wacker own evangelical convictions. The day following, May 16th, they wrote to me to say that the proposed discussion would now be impossible. Only this morning there has appeared an extra- ordinary circular from the Minister of the Interior on the subject of col portage which must inevitably affect the col- portage of the Bible. The days are evil; it is the hour of darkness; but God reigns, and public opinion con- tinues calm, steadfast and immovable in its attachment to liberty.” ——~ a THE LOUISIANA RETURNING BOARD. Wasuinetos, Aug. 27.—Wells and An- derson, despite their loud protestations to the contrary, are very much concerned over the supject of their indictment by the Louis- iana courts, and they are anxious to have the President devise some means by which he may interpose to shield them from the just punishment due totheir crimes. It has already been very fully demonstrated that the President is absolutely powerless to use any official means in this direction, but of course it is competent for him to exercise his personal good offices if so disposed. The President makes no secret of the fact that he is willing to use any personal influ- ence of which he may be possessed.— Wash, Cor, Balt, Sun. SS ae Wasnrtnoton, August 29.—A Utica cor- respondent’s letter in narrating private con- versations of Conkling with his friends, is captioned by the New York Sun: “Mr. Conkling on Politics—He Believes that Til- den Was Really Elected, but that Hayes’ Title is Good.” The letter concludes: “Mr. Conkling’s echoing friends do not hesitate to denounce Hayes’ policy with unmeasured severity; and I am assured that their words reflects his opinions.” General Terry, who arrived here this morning, brought information to the effect that Sitting Bull, with thirteen thousand warriors, is in camp on this side of the Brit- ish line, and all further proceedings in re- gard to the selection of a commission for his return to the United States, have been suspended. Terry remains here several days to consult with the Secretary of War as to what plans shall be adopted concerning the Sioux chief. +s — The Murder of Two Brothers. LovuIsvILLE, KENTUCKY, August 29.—A special dispatch from Danville, Ky., says that Walter Sanders, late sheriff of Lincoln county, and his brother-in-law, Jack Bal- lard, were killed on Monday, at Richmond, Madison county, by Gus Edwards, the town marshal, and a party of his friends. —_—_ao__——_ Another Satellite of Mars Discovered.

It seems that a young man named Elisha Estes was escorting a young lady and was unable to find a seat unoceupied. Approaching a seat occupied by some negroe men, Mr. Estes politely asked them to vacate the seat, which they peremptorily refused to do. Mr. Estes caught hold of one of the negroes to pull him up, when the whole crowd of negroes gathered around and began an assault upon the white man, striking him several blows and handling him very roughly. The white men came to the assistance of Mr. Estes, a general fight ensued and the darkies were terribly belabored, and finally driven from the ground. One ne- gro was shot through the thigh, and an- other fearfully cut. Several of the white men received blows from sticks and rocks, but none were seriously hurt. i The satistician of the New York Pro- duce Exchange estimates that the United States will have between 80,000,000 and 100,000,000 bushels of wheat to spare from the present crop and that Europe will want about 150,000,000 bushels. The Black Sea supply, say 40,000,000 ls, will probably, be cut off, but the Baltic provinces will be able to from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 while other countries may supply 50,000,000 bushels more.

He demanded the repeal of the resumption’ act, the restoration of the old silver dol- Gen. Thomas Ewing followed Mr. Pen- dleton in a lengthy speech, which if pos- sible, was more emphatic in advocacy of the unlimited greenback theory. His speech may be summed up in the assertion that the country is going rapidly to ruia by the operation of the resumption law, and will speedily reach it unless the law is repealed, silver remonetized, treasury notes substituted for bank notes, and’ greenbacks made payable for custom du- ties. —_— A Militia Company in Luek. (From tha San Francisco Chronicle.) The Emperor of Austria, having been apprised of the existence of an Austrian military company in San Francisco, and wishing to make them an appropriate gift emblematic of their natiality, desired them, through his Consul in this city, to select a suitable uniform for its members, to be furnished at his expense. The company met accordingly and decided upon the adoption of the beautiful uniform of the Imperial Jeegars of Vienna. The Empe- ror has been advised of their choice, and the complete outfit for 150 men is expect- ed to arrive from Austria in about two months. A ee The President must Tote Fair. (From the Burlington Hawk-Eye.] Look here, Mr. President, we like you, too, but you must tete fair. When the Vermont man said to him, ‘‘Mr. President, I like you asa man, but darn your policy,” the President said, “‘Come now, no poitics to-day.” But when in New Hampshire | an address expressive of “entire satisfac- tion in the caurse you have pursued in the exercise of the office of President,” was presented anp read to him, the President said in reply that “‘he was gratified.” This column isn’t much given to politics, either, but it must insist on the same policy in New Hampshire and Vermont, if it has to give up its $3,000 post office for it. ee Revenuers Arrested.—We are informed that W. H. Deaver and F. K. Davis, of Asheville, and Wm. Ross, of Morganton, were arrested on Tuesday, by Major Wag- ner, charged with receiving “hush money” and bribes from distillers. They were taken to Morganton for examination be- fore the United States Commissioner, on Wednesday. Our informant bad not heard the result.—Laleigh News. a Ruined.—A bankrupt merchant returu- ing home one night, said to hig noble wife. ‘My dear, I am ruined; everything we have is in the hands of the sheriff.” After a few moments of silence, the wife looked calmly into his face and said: “Will the sheriff sell you? Oh no. Will the sheriff sell me? Oh no. Will the sheriff sell the children? Oh no. Then do not say we have lost everything. All that is most valuable remains to us—man- hood, womanhood, and childhood. We have lost but the results of our skill and industry. We can make another fortune, if our hearts and hands are left us.” or rr ——__ “HOME SWEET HOME.” During the most exciting period of the French Revolution, when nearly every- thing human in man was dissipated by a fiendish thirst for blood ; amid the scene of terror, there sat a young American in the upper room of the Palais Royal. Alone, a stranger in strange land, surrounded by scenes sufficient to disturb the stoutest heart, his thoughts naturally turned to the abode of bis childhood, to his ‘home be- yond the sea.’ Deeply moved by the emotions which the positions and the re- collections, in one of those moments which occur but once in a life time, he poured fourth his feelings in the beautiful words of “Home sweet home.” That song, set to an Italian air, has been sung wherever the sound of the English language has been heard in every quarter of the globe. oo or cr There seems to be some curiosity as to the pay that the soldiers in the United States army receive.

There ig no hape that a single vestige of the entire block bounded by Thirty-fifth and Thirty-:sisth streets and Tenth and Eleventh ayenues will be left. The schael house on the thirty-fifth street is already entirely demolished, and the tenement houses pn the four sides of the block are already entirely in rujns. Every moment only gives new assurances that the result of this fire will be really appalling, For the first hour or so hopes were entertajned that the Joss of jife, if loss there was, would be very small, but as the forepogn is advancing, ijt becomes more and more clear that the loss of life will be very great. Among those who are familiar with the factory and the namber of hands who are generally employed there, it is now estimated that there must be from seventy-five to one hundied bodies burned within the ruins, and the number of those who may be injured in the sur- rounding houses from fright and falling walls and accidents, cannot now possibly be estimated. The tenement houses will have a sad pecard, for the hames of many hundreds of families are deserted, and women and children are around the neigh- boring streets perfectly bewildered in their bereavement. —_- ~—_>-- Winter at Mount Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—The following is Judge Rayner’s statement of a personal collision to-day: Upon Mr. Grow being arrested upon a charge of forgery, his counsel applied to the Seeretary of the Treasury to direct United States District Attorney Weils to arrest further proceed- ings in the case. The Secretary referred the question to Solicitor Rayner, asking | for his legal opinion as to what jurisdic- tion the Treasury Department had in the matter. Solicitor Rayner gave a detailed | opinion, taking the ground that the Treas- | ury Department had no jurisdiction what- ever. Whilst the matter was pending, Sotcldo called to see the solicitor in his office. After first trying to persuade the solicitor to give an opinion in favor of the release of Grow, and failing in that, he then threatened the solicitor that the press would be down on him. The solic- itor replied: “publish my opinion in the case, and you may come down as soon as you please.” For six consecutive days after this, the said Soteldo kept up a di- rect attack, assailing Mr, Rayner through the columns of the Republican, in most offensive and annoying terms, and Mon- day evening, as the solicitor was leaving his department for home, he met Soteldo on the steps of the treasury department. Mr. Rayner gaid: “Get out of my way, you damned scoundrel,” at the same mo- meat dealing him a blow in the face with his fist. Soteldo struck back. They clinched, and after the usnal seuffling in such cases, they separated Mr. Rayner. The collision referred to, pecurred on the steps of the treasury. The managing editor of the Republican claims that the articles in that paper were ofa jocular character, and that in this collision he only vised the violence neces- sary to self-defence. He has sworn out a warrant against Judge Rayner for assault and battery, ee Drinking and Fighting on a Steamboat— Iligh Old Times.

Winstea.’s certificaté ?’ That would have settled the matter, and that is' what aman, honestly anxious for the trath’to be known, would have done; but, instead, he gets the sig- natures of his partnérs in ‘crime. Now, about that “blink.” © Does a carpenter, when he goes to werk, forget his tools? Hodges came to this. section of country for the express purpose of capturing stills, and mine sere of. the first taken. Out of blanks that early? And besides, in the interim of four months, from the time ‘he seized niy stills, intit hé was in Greens- boro, to my certain knowledge he was in Salisbury more than once, and all of this time was in tri-weekly communication with beth Statesville and Greensboro’. ried them to B. F. Jones’, about three miles distant, where they had a repository for captured property, and from whence they preyed upon the neighbarhood, al- ways excepting Jones’ friends. I frequently went to see Hodges, propos- ing to give bond for my stills, but was not allowed to do so, although it had been permitted in other cases. While I was in Greensboro, at the Federal Court, last April, I concluded that I would call upon Col. Winstead (the Coll.) and inquire of him concerning my stills. "” began to talk to the Col. about my stills. He did not seem to understand what 1} meant, when Hodges spoke up, and com- menced making a verbal report. Win- stead remarked that he did not know who | he was, nor did he recognize him as an} officer in his, the 5th district—nothing was | said by Hodges about blanks, nor was J. | D. Carry present. Winstead then re- | marked to me that he was busy, and for me to call in again before I left :—or, if I did not have the opportunity, to call upon his deputy Collector, Col. Martin at Win- | ston, and that he would have authorily to! make arrangements about it. After leav- ing Winstegads office, I was approached by B. F. Jones, who said that my stills wonld be sent to Greensboro ta be sold, and de- sired that I should Jet him (Jones) keep | them, and replace them with four old | ones, that my stills were too valuable to | be sold. This I declined to do. T did not | see Col. Wiustead again, and at Forsyth | May court, I went to see his deputy, Col. | Martin. He informed me that there had been po return of my stills at the office, | and that there were no papers against me; and to inforin Jones of the fact, and direct | him to turn over to me my property. sent the message to Jones, by Jno. H. Stoltz—and Jones’ reply was, that my stills had been stolen from him some time before that, and the reason that he made | no “‘fuss about it was, because he thought that I had got them.” I then commenced | to inquire around and found that he bad! one of them, in Tesh & Bruebaker’s block- | ade-distillery, making whisky for him, he furnishing the grain, and they paying him | a gallon of whisky for a bushel of corn. | Brnebaker, I understand, says that the | way he got the still was, that he had one gov’t. distillery, and that Jones traded him my still for that one. Two more of them were in a tobacco-barn, on Jones’ premis- es, and the fourth one in Jones’ & Jordans’ government distillery. After hearing these facts, I took out a Search Warrant, and found the property as above described, and identified it as mine, by several good wit- nesses. The still in the distillery, I did not | swear to, because of its being on the fur- nace andrunning. This was on Monday — and left with the understanding that I would be back on the following Saturday, at which time Jordan promised me that everything should be cold, so that I could tear ont and examine. Before Saturday came, the still had been torn out, by some one or other than myself, and secreted. So I never got to examine it at al!, though satisfied it was ny still, I did not care to swear to it, while it was on the furnace. I identified one of my still-caps at Jor- dan’s house, and he said, that he got it at the same time that he did the still. The next day (Tuesday) Hodges & Jones, had the officer who executed the Warrant, the posse, and myself all arrested under a U. 8. Warrant for taking government prop- erty! (Queer places for government prop- erty!) And Jones’ nephew, Charlie Jones, the U. 8. Commissioner, bound us all to the federal court at Statesville. This he did within a few hours of our arrest, with- out giving us an opportunity to have a Single witness, and in defiance of our ‘move fora coutinuance on those grounds.’ Thus, with indecent haste, was ‘mock trial” completed. _ Now for a word or tyo about the affida- vites, and the character of the men who swore to them. The first man, J. D. Curry, -came from Davidson to Yadkin co., asa teamster for B. F. Jones, and has been a pliable character in his hands ever since. It was sworn in open court at Winston, by two as respectable men as this county can boast, that B. F. Jones’ charaeter for truth was bad. P, C. Jones out entire South. ple here believe that he will swear to, or Hodges, whom it | scems, was “spotting me, hailed me, and | asked where I was going. I replied to | Col. Winsteads office—he said “I will go | im 1 . ’ ‘ with yon. After we entered the office, I) with their operations in the Rev. while No, thereisa blank place in his duty, and if I were not afraid (?)

Deputy Col. Martin says he never did report; Winstead, himself, by | taking action, Bays he didn’t, and thus it | és. This is the case hurriedly, and briefly told. Werel towrite you allthe rascality of these men in this case alone, you would have but little room in your paper for anght else: and were I to attempt io in- form the public of all of their raseality, immorality and debauchery connected Hodges was disgracing the service in this commaunity,—one volume of your paper would scarcely reeord it. I hope that these few lines will satisfy these men, that, at least, a part of their infamy is known, and I can assure them that there is much more in process of de- velopement. WM. E.

To the Farmers of Scotch Irish Township and the Farmers generally: Having made and ap- plied one ton of the Harris Compost, on the present growing crop of corn and tobacco, and considering the appearance of the corn and tobacco, at the present state of growth, I would recommend not only the farmers of 3. 1. Town- ship, but the farmsrs genera/ly to use the said Compost, I have used some of the commercial fertilizers and consider the Harris Compost superior to any I have tried. JOS. A. HAWKINS.

I also used it on an old field that yielded nothing before and with the Home Made Fertilizer the yield was as good as that of my best land, J. M. BAKER. Saxispury, N.C., July 14, 1877.

D. H. MILLER, CaBarrus County, N. C., 1876.

We intend to use more largely this season. F. A. ARCHIBALD, E. C. MORRISON, WM. L. SAPP, JACOB BARRINGER, Dr. b. W. FLOW. GLENCcOVE,_N. C., Nov. 30, 1875.

I expect to buy more largely next year. F. A. ARCHIBALD. PLEASANT VALLEY, Lanchester County, 8S. C., November, 1875. This is to certify that I have used Harris’ Empire Compost and am well pleased with it, as it not only prevents rust, but is asx good ax any of the high priced Gnanos, the cost per ton making it the cheapest Fertilizer sold. W. D. HYATT. GREENVILLE County, S. C., 1876. This is to certify that I used Harris’ Empire though I did not give it a fair trial as I lett ont one of the ingredients, but must say that where it was used my wheat was never better, and where I did not use it I find that it was very indifferent. J shall use six tons this Spring. I consider the formula invaluable to farmers. Yours respectfully, W.F. PENNINGTGN. Gastonia, N. C., 1876, Messra. Wilson & Black—Gentlemen: It gives me much pleasnre to state that I used the com- post bought of you last winter, and must say that J am highly pleased with it. I used it on an old broom sedge field that would produce nothing, and must say the result is astonishinz. I consider it an invaluable compost, and just the thing to bring out our old worn out lands. Yours, very respectfully, Dr. J. F. SMYER. MECKLENBUEG, Co., N. C., 1876. I take pleasure in stating to my brother far- mers all over the country that I used, last year, Harris’ Empire Compost, under both corn and cotton and the result was astonishing to all my neighbors. . The cost was only one-fourth of what I had been paying for commercial fertilizers. LENS HOOK. MECKLENBURG, Co., N. C.. 1876, This is to cestify that I used Harris’ Empire Compgst last year side by side with several commercial fertilizers’ and I find that the yield from Harris’ Compost was one fourth greater and the quality better than any. It makes the cotton mature better, and in my judgment, it is preferable in every respect. The cost was one- fourth the cost of the high priced guanos, and one ton will go over ten acres of land, Yours truly, D. C.

It was our pleasure to be one of a amal] party to visit several important and pro- mivent places in Western North Caroli- na. We were stationed at Old Fort, and our first visit was to the Catawha Falls, The trip was a pleasant one, though de- void of exciting incidents. Haying spok- en of this beautiful spot in a former article, pass it without further remarks, We can't refrain from telling a little incident which occurred to one of the ladies while visit- ing the falls. We came uj-on a miserable little cabin in the midst of a corn field, and wishing to rest we halted. The whole of the household and kitchen fuarni- ture would not bring tive dollars at a sale with finsh bidders. The man of the house treated us very cordially, and inviting us in, sent his little girl to the spring with a coffee pot—for he had no bucket—to fetch us water. He told of his many misfor- tunes in a pathetic, though humble way. This aroused the sympathetic nature of one of the ladies of the party, who, hand- ing us her purse said: “Give the poor man something.” We gave the mana quarter, and had many a laugh over her benevolence afterwards, when the chap came to the Fort and invested his money ina pint of White Whisky. ROUND KNOB. Our next trip was to Round Knob, and F. E. Snoser, Chairman of said Court, and W.R. Fraley and John Sloan, Esqrs., his associates on the bench. J. M. Horah be- came ex-officio Clerk, by the omission of Magistrates to make an appointment for that office. o> THE KNIFE. An altercation between Maj.

This was the only accident of the trip. AN OLD TIME DEER HUNT IN THE “OLD NORTH STATE.” ~* This morning at the residence of Mr. L. B. James, Messrs. Paul Peeler, W. A. Cauble, Greenberry: Redwine, and Hinton James assembled for the purpose of chasing a fine young buck, that had been a pet in his days of fawnhood at Mr. L. B. James place, but disdaining the monotonous life of pet fawn- hood, hied himself to the corn fields of Mr. James and neighbors, whither he had estab- lished quite a reputation asagranger. ‘Phe chase was full of excitement and fun. We had scarcely been out an hour before the hounds struck the scent, and soon made the “welkin ring” with their peculiar noise. Mr. Buck, alias the granger, quite scorned the idea of fleeing from such petty enemics as hounds, and as he had becn named Sammy Tilden, true to the name he bore, he planted himself on a pretty firm rock, and kept the hounds at bay, and would Dogs higher than “Gilroy’s kite,” had it not been for a treacherous centre shot fired by Mr. W.

It is a plank roof, so constructed that it can be raised or | lowered from the four corners so as to ac- | commodate the size of the stack to be kept | under it. It designed to turn water and to | protect provender from the sun. There were other items omitted in our account last week worthy of mention: | Those who were acquainted with the “round | bottom” on Grant’s creek, years ago, will revert to it as a dense forest and jungle.

There are sixteen farmers in Franklin township who have ice-houses, and four | have artificial fish pond. During the ride we had (from H. G. M.) the following Personal Anecdotes—The late FARLEY ELuis, of this county was perhaps the most inveterate horse-trader we ever had. He was a hypochondriac for years before his death, and several times his neighbors were called in to see the last of him. On one of these occasions, John C. Miller and the late John L. Shaver were called, and at the bed- side of the dying man, Mr. 8. alluded to his horse-trading propensity, intimating repen- tance on that score. Farley broke out with great carnestness—“If the good Lord will only spare my life I will never trade horses again.” In a few weeks Farley was up again and greatly surprised his friends one day, by galloping to the corner of the street where there was a crowd, his horse reigned up and dressed in style, the rider wide awake and looking out for a trade. Miller and Shaver were there, and took in the sit- Hation in a moment, and the latter drawled ut, in Farley's peculiar tone the promise he had made—“if the good Lord will only Spare my life,” &c. Farley wouldn't hear it out, but wheeled his horse and struck off full speed towards home. But later still, he died, to all appearances, and the neighbors were called to prepare him for the last offices of human kindness, Tt was a dark night, and they were consult- | | monotone, and never laughs. which fact gives an idea of the many crooks and turns to be made. This work is being pushed as rapidly forward as pos- | sible, and when completed, will compare, for beauty, skilled engineering, and grand- ure, favorably with any other road in this country.

The ladies mounted, the gentlemen walking and leading the mules, with the guide in front, formed a picture, as they moved in single file along this rugged and dangerous path, long to be remembered by those present. The summit of the peak was reached about 5 o’clock that evening, after the hardest day’s work any of us had exper- ienced for many a day. The evening was perfectly clear and from our elevated place we had a view which pen nor brush could reproduce. <A gentle zephyr played ‘round us, which suggested that we had better look out for a sheltering place, where we might rest in comfort during the night. But our faithful guide had al- ready lighted a fire in the cabin and had the water boiling for coffee. Our meal over, we prepared to sleep—a puncheon conch, over whieh we threw our shalls was all we could boast, and more of that, than of the sleep we got. Next morning we were on the peak ere the god of day had lighted the eastern horizon, and were anxiously awaiting his coming.

Brigham Young was born at Whiting- son of a farmer. and glazier, but joined in 1832 the Mor- mons at Kutland, Ohio, and started in 1335 on his tirst missionary journey. He was very successful as a preacher and made many converts, being possessed of a peculiar but impressive eloquence, and at the same time rose to the highest dignities and acquired an almost boundless influ- ence within the sect by his energy and shrewdness, and by the power of his per- sonality. After the death of Joseph Smith, in 1844, he was chosen president of the Church of Apostles, and from 1846 to 1843 he led the host of the Mormons from Nau- voo across the praries to Great Salt Lake valley, where he founded Salt Lake City. In March, 1849, a convention was held in that city, a constitation was framed anda State was organized under the name of Deseret. Congress, however, refused to admit the State, but the Territory was or- ganized, and Brigham Young was appoint- ed Governor for four years. Conflicts soon aruse with the federal government, but the United States officers were expelled from the Territory, and Brigham Yonng declared, ‘1 am and will be (sovernor un- til the Lord Almighty says, ‘Brigham, you need not be Governor apy more,’” In spite of the forcible measures which the government took from time to time he catiinued for a long time to wield an al- most unlimited power as president of the church.

AT THE UNITED STATES CENTENNIAL World’s Exposition, 1876 MASON & HAMLIN CABINET ORGANS Unanimously assigned the “FIRST RANK IN THE SEVERAL REQUISITES” Of such Instruments ! The MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO. have the honor to announce that the organs of their manufacture have been unanimously assigned “the FIRST RANK in the SEV- ERAL REQUISITES of instruments of the clase” by the Judges at the CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION at Philadelphia, 1876, and are the ONLY INSTUMENTS OF THIS GEN- ERAL CLASS AWARDED THIS RANK. This is after the severest competition by the best makers, before one of the most competent juries ever assembled. . They have also received the MEDAL, but, asis well known, medals of equal merit have been awarded all articles deemed worthy ot recognition; so that it will be easy for many makers to advertise that they have received “first medals.” The differences in competing urticles, and their comparative excellence, are recognized in the Reports of the Judges, from which the following is an extract: “THE MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO.’s exhibit of Reed Organs and Har- moniums shows Instruments of the FIRST RANK IN THE SEVERAL RE- UISITES OF INSTRUMENTS OF HE CLASS: viz.: Smoothness and equal distribution of tone, scope of expression, resonance andsinging qual- ity, freedom and quickness in action of keys and bellows, with thorough- ness of wor manship, combined with simplicity of action.” (Signed by all the Judges.) The Masou and Ham- lin Organs ar’ thus declared to rank first, not in one or two respects only, but in the SEV- EKXAL REQUISITES of such inetru:nente, and thev are the ONLY ones assigned this rank. This triumph was not unexpected, for the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs have uniformly been awarded the highest honors in competitions in America, there having been scarcely six exceptions in hundreds ot competitions. They were awarded highest honors and FIRST MEDALS Paris 1867; Viewna °73 Santiago ’75; PHILADELPHIA, 1876; and have thas been awarded highest honors at Every World’s Exposition at which they have been exhibited; being the ONLY AMERICAN ORGAWS which have ever obtained ANY AWARD at any competition with best European makers, or in any pe World's exposition / NEW 8ST ie improvements, exhibited at the CENTENN ; elegant new casesin great va- riety.

Séveral advantages grow out of break- jng laud very deep, or what ig generally called subsoiling. The roots are enabled to penetrate much deeper in quest of food, a greater amount of atmospheric ajr (and eonsequently, nitrogen and carbonic acid) are held in the sojl; for as the plow pres- ses on, the atmosphere presses into every jaterspace behind jt, and a soil well bro- ken twelve jnches deep will have twice as much of these valuable gasses as that op- ly broken six jnches. Besides, it causes heavy rains to sink rapidly, preventing too much water from injuring plants, and at the same time saves rolling lands from washing into such ug}y gullies as so often disfigure our hillsides, : ~ Again, subsoiling lands is a great pre- yention to drought, by holding in store a better supply of hygroscopic and capillary waters, enabling the latter to move more freely through a deeper and more porous filth. ' In 1873 we instituted a practical test of the advantages of subsoiling Jand for both corn and cotton. For the latter we plant- ed one-fourth of an acre, subseiled 12 inches deep, 3 feet wide, usjng at the rate of 300 lbs, of ammoniated phosphate, It produced at the rate of 1,227 lbs. per acre. The same amount not subsoiled, by its side, produced 1,012. The first paid for the fertilizer and made a clear profit of $16.38 per acre. The last made a clear profit of $7.03. ~ Subsoiling land for corn was tested as follows: Qne-half acre was planted and cultivated precisely the same way, with a small amount of ammoniated superphos- phate applied in each hill. The corn was planted in rows six feet wide by three in the drill: one-fourth acre was subsoiled 12 inches deep just previous to planting. The subgoiled pjant produced at the rate of 19,70 bushels to the acre. That not subsoiled, 17.34 bushels. The pyerplus of corn made, about paid for the extra labor. A dry year it would doubtless pave daid more.—Scientific Agriculture. —_-< > —___ A VALUABLE COW. Hon. Richard Goodman tells, in the PLOUGHMAN, of a Jersey cow, ‘Jersey Belle,” owned by Charles 0. Ellms, Esq., of Scituate, Mass., for which it is said he has refused three thousand dollars, alleg- ing as a reason for not selling her, that she pays him a better interest on that sum than he could get by any other in- vestment. If she makes, ag the owner represents, nineteen and one-half pounds of butter some weeks, sixteen and four- teen lbs. in others, and ten month from calving makes her pound of butter a day, which batter issold at sixty cts. per pound, and her calves sell from one hundred and fifty dollars and upwards, he is right in considering her a first-class investment. Five quarts of her milk make a pound of butter all through summer, and in De- cember four quarts make a pound.— Ex. Sk Tue Tive To Cut Grass.—The proper time to cut grass for hay js a matter of some dispute, though the weight of testi- mony is in favor of early cutting. As an old writer on agriculture has wittily said, grass should be cut while it is grass, and net after it has become hay.” The flavor or richness of the grass passes away as soon as the stalk becomes dry, tough and fibrous, and evidently much nourishment is lost as well as the fragance which gives it relish, by leaving it standing too long. Farmers as a rule do not attach that im- portance to the hay crop which its real value demands, and are apt to consider the exact time of harvesting it as a matter of no great consequence. But when it is considered that it is the grap that furnish- es the largest share of food for both horses and cattle during at least half of the year, it will be admitted that it is of value enough to warrant the best care in cut- ting and curing. If it is cut at the right time a very few hours of sunshine will fit it for the mow or stack. It is better to be put up a little damp than to have all the moisture dried out in the sun. It should be put away in such a condition as to show green and bright when fed out in the winter. It is then eaten with the greatest relish and yields the largest fmaunt of nourjshment.— Indiana Farmer. _—- ~~ <bo—___ BOTS IN HORSES AND SHEEP. The following is taken from the course pf lectureg on Veterinary Science, deliver- pd at the University of Vermont, by No- ah Cressy, M. D.; Bots are grubs hatched from the eggs of the bot fly. This fly is most active and troublesome in the hottest weather. In cold, wet weather it is dorment, or near] y so. They lay their eggs on the legs of the horse, from whence they are taken into the stomach, where they hatch into grubs, and in this state are known as bots; they attach themselves to the wall of the stomach, and draw their nutrition from that furnished the animal and from the uices of the stomach. They cause some tation, but are not generally very troublesome. After a time they fall off ~~ the walls of the stomach and pass off ja the manure, from which they emerge n the same round, Bots may geperally be expelled by giv- ing the horse sweetened milk, whieh the gtubs like, and will let gq their lold to take it the better. An active cathartic will then bring them away. earn. forma of the bot is found in th 1 of the sheep, where they grab-in-th: head. ‘These come from an egg laid ix the nose of the sheep, where they ar batched and vay up in the horns, but they never work out of these sinuses ‘nto the brain, and the lect- urer did not think they ever caused death in sheep otherwise in good condition. Another parasite i in the brain, and often mistaken for the grub-in-the- head, is the hydalid coming from a tape- worm whieh is into the stomach and finds igs way thr od ations. re ae teamn ein excel through the skull and taking out the grqb with a crooked wire. —--- — © ee -—-— SAVE THE BIRDS. The great Napoleon did not think it beneath bis dignity to insert, in his famous Code, a provision in bebalf of the birds which destroy inseets noxious to the crop; and in this country there are laws to the same end. ‘The utility of such statutes is abun- dantly manifest from the investigations of those who have made the ravages of in- sects their study. Mr. Walch, State Entomologist of Illi- nois, estimated the annual loss to the crops throughout the States from noxious insects as $300,000,000, and Mr. J. R. Dodge, Statistician of the United States Department of Agriculture, gays: “The annual loss to the cotton crop alone from the same cause for many years past bas ranged as high as $4/,000,000, and never fallen below $10,000,000.” Mr. Townsend Glover, United States Entomologist, says: ‘‘Insectivorous birds are the best allies of the farmer, and were they all destroyed, there is little doubt that it would be almost impossible tq rajse certain crops.” The president of the Missquri State Hor- ticultural Socjety reports the annual loss in that State jn 1871, from insect depre- dations, at $60,000,000. The late Horace Greeley says: “If I were to estimate the average absolute loss to the farmer in this country, from insects, at $100,000,000 per annum, I should doubt- less be far below the mark; I have no att “an or ee ote * : "a ; .

His crafty mother thereupon secretly placed the pill in a preserved pear and gave it to him. Presently she asked?” Tom have you eaten the pear? He replied: ‘Yes, mother, all but the seed.” Cure for Sprain.—Take one tablespoon- full of honey, the same of salt, and the white of one egg; beat all well together for at least one hour—or two would be better. Let it stand for an honr. Then anoint the sprained place freely; keep well rolled up with a good bandage. “May they always live in peace and harmony,” was the way in which an edit- a couple of friends ; and it came out in his paper the next morning: ‘May they live always on peas and hominy.” A Cheerful Home.—Who ever passed a cottage ever so humble and observed thrif- ty, beautiful flowers filling the windows, that did’nt think within himself, somc neat, tidy, intelligent body presides over the comfort and happiness of that cheer- ful home ? the greatest evils of the present age. It is undermining and overturning the loft- iest and best principles that should be at- tained and held sacred in society. It is | annually sending thousands of men and | women to misfortune and ruin. It is em- phatically the all prevailing curse. —_- doubt our best allies are the birds. They would serve us if we did not destroy them. The boy who robs the bird’s nest is rob- The farmer might as well consent that any strolling ruftin should shoot his horses pr cattle ag his birds.” After allowing for all exaggeration and overestimate, these statements, are suffi- ciently startling. They show the annual injury done to the crops by insects equal to many neillions of dollars. we TO DESTROY GRUBS, The “bugs” which are found in peas from eggs deposited upon the green pods in summer, consequently, the little grubor they are gathered in the fall. The grubs may be killed in the peas by heating, not sufficiently tq destroy the germinating powers of the peas: or they may be plac- ed in air tight vessels, and sprinkled with benzine, Peas infested with this pea- weevil can still be used for seed, as the insect does not destry the germ, except ip rare instances ; but sound, perfect seed is best, and will grow with more vigor. oe a From the “N. C. Farmer.” CATCHING MOTHS. Mr. ENNIss: I have fallen upon a simple device for catching the moths, which are so annoy- ing at our supper tables. It has been so successful that I venture to communicate it for the benefit of the public. ply to set the lamp in a pan of water. The moth is*slow to not plung into the water, when, of course, he will give no farther trouble. Hard soap should be bought or made by large quantity, and laid to harden ou ashelfinaverydry place.

Making Soap.—This is a very simple and easy propess, and in reply to some questions on this subject, I would take a barrel of ashes well packed, with holes ‘ored in the bottom and a little straw put in first, Then put on water graud- aally till a pail full of strong lye that will year up an egg or potato, has run out, vhich heat in an ordinary kettle on the ‘tove, and turn hot on about twenty vounds of clean grease; stir well, till the bing the farmer of a part of his crops. | larva of the insect is in the peas when | It is sim- | pounds white sugar ; one bushel and a!

Whereupon the Burlington Hawkeye re- sponds: “Those is which we has always did, Mr. White.” ——- ~~ A TEXAN HORROR. Last evening one of the most horrible reports that has yet been circulated on our streets became current, but it was of such a terrible nature that people talked about it in low voices and with a feeling of dread. A deep well or cistern had been found abont fifteen miles from the city, to which attention had been called by a sickening stench arising from it, and an investigation disclosed the fact that the cistern was half full of the bodies of men, women and children, the mangled bodies having been thrown in all positions A professor was one day walking near .

Rose Eytinge, the popular actress, has persistently refused to have her photograph taken. The result is that she has had her life made a burden to her by the persecu- tions of the photograph gallery agents, The other day she let it be known that she pro- posed taking a swim at North Beach. When she left the hotel an express wagon, with a camera in it, followed her carriage. The next day she received a polite note en- closing the proof of a negative taken as she emerged from the briny dip.

Angry words, and occasionally a sound of some- thing thrown, came to his ears, and he cou!d hardly sit still. At last, evidently, the wife had taken a broom, and the blows fell fast and furious. Our tramp could stand it no longer, but, rushing around to the side door, darted in, and, stepping between the loving pair, cried ina husky voice: “Give us a clip or two with the broom, old woman; it seems just like old times.” No matter how much we wander, the old home feel- ing will get us once in a while.—Boston Globe. rocate their kindness, and that we would esteem it a privilege to be favored with such an opportunity.

A threatened tax on flour of a curious kind has come to light.— There is a _pro- cess called high grinding in use in most of the mills in the country, which Mid te be essential to the best results reducing wheat to flour. It has long been in use in Europe, and was introduced here in 1871, and the machinery in use in all the great mills is adapted to it. A ring of specula- tors in Washington is said to have got hold of an old patent on the process, quietly had it re-issued, got up a case in which the defendant was a man of straw, carried in the Supreme Court without any defence having been made, and got a de- cision in support of its validity. Now suits have been brought for infringments against the leading flour manufactures of the country, including the Jewells, of Brooklyn, the Haxalls, of Richmond, and C. C. Washburn, of Minneapolis, and the holders of the patent propose to grant licenses to millers for the modest sum of $6,000 for the run of each stone. This would impose a tax of $36,000,000 on the flour business of the country, which would, of course, come out of the consumers in the end. It is unnecessary to say that a vigorous fight will be made against this imposition, and a special act of Congress concelling the patent will be asked for next winter. ee ae ee MANUFACTURE OF TOBACCO. We clip the following directions to those who wish to manufacture their own tobacco, from the Scientific American, which gets it from a correspondent. If G. W. F. wishes to manufacture his own chewing tobacco, let bim first get some green hickory or sugar maple, cut into small logs, say two or three feet long and from five to eight inches in diameter, then with a large auger bore holes three parts throngh. Make a stiek of hard wood to fit the hole easy ; leave it a little longer than the depth of the hole. This is to be used for a rammer. Wash your tobacco clean, let it dry or nearly so, re- move stems and bad portions, stuff it into your logs hard ; the tighter it is rammed the better. When nearly full make a plug and drive it in so tight that it will keep out all outside moisture. Pile up your logs in woodshed or some place where they will not be exposed to the weather or the wet ground. After stufling your logs let them rest for about two weeks, then examine for the ones that show a tendency to split. Take the axe and cut itopen. If you open only *one log at a > THE LATE JUDGE HEATH. Attention is called to the proceedings of the meeting of the Bar, held at Jefferson, in Ashe county, at the last term of the court, to organize an association to secure the erection of a suitable monument over the remains of the late Judge Heath. Judge Heath, as is well known, was one of the purest, as he was also one of the ablest, Judges that ever sat upon the bench in North Carolina, with a great in- tellect, broad and comprehensive, a grand one indeed, with learning rare and un- bounded both in its quality and quantity to command the respect of men, and with all those kindly and genial and gentle and social qualities to win their love and keep it, his memory will ever be fresh in the hearts of those who knew him, for to know him was indeed to love him. It is a shame upon the State he loved and served so well that his grave has been 80 long neglected.—Raleigh Observer. ———— TO THE COLORED CITIZENS OF NORTH CAROLINA. Feeling and believing that our educa- tional, material and moral advancement as a race at the present juncture are and should be with us paramount to all ether issues, and therefore demand and should receive our immediate consideration, and feeling that these ends can be better serv- ed by united action on our part, we there- fore issue this call fora CONVENTION of the colored people of the State, to meet in the city of Raleigh, on THURSDAY, 18TH DAY OF OCTOBER, 1877, at 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of or. ganiziug and devising some plan by which the objects as above set forth may be ac- complished. The ratio of representation will be, that each county will be allowed twice the number of delegates to which they have members of the House of Rep- resentatives. We hope each county will appoint delegates accordingly. We earnestly desire a full represen ta- tion, as matters of grave importance af- fecting our furure welfare will be consid- ered.

New York Herald : Secretary McCrary contradicts the foolish story that the ad- ministration is considering a project to increase the army for the purpose of giv- ing ex-Confederate officers positions. It was hardly necessary. Mr. Natt Atkinson, of Asheville, says that he propose to make an exhibition of fruit at the State fair which will be three times as fine as that made by him at the centennial. He suggests the formation of a North Caroliaa fruit-growers’ associa- tion. - The Chicago Times thinks the field is clear for the dark horse in 1880 since dis- ease is killing Morton, Blaine is killing himself, Hayes, as to a second term, com- mitted suicide before he was born, Bris- tow is buried, Conkling is about to perish of inanition, Hartranft’s hickory shirt is his political winding sheet, and Grant is foundered. The governors must have had anuneom- fortable time at the exhibition building in Philadelphia the other day. The Times of that city says that the crowd seemed to re- gard them as exhibits themselves, p; clase upon their heels, cutting off their pas- sage, commenting upon the plain and even somewhat careless habiliments of one or two of the dignitaries, and otherwise show- ing their appreciation of the fact thet never before had so many governors been with them at once. Z. B. Vance.” More than this, North Carolina cannot do, until the next General Assembly con- venes. It is barely possible that the Bal- timore property -holders will do something to forward the movement. The Sun men- tions the probability of a meeting being held in that city, at which the matter will be discussed in all its bearings. The Sun makes the following state- ment : ap A CLEVER Cossack AND nis Horse.— Many stories are told of the cleverness of the Cossacks in obtaining what they need for themselves, or horses, and all tend to show that their morality is of a different type to that of European civilization gen- erally. Some of the stories are invented, but they show the general tone of feeling, and what ig expected from these quaint, reckless, merry troopers. Passing through the streets of Galatz, the thin weary look- ing horse of a Cossack fell suddenly, and lay apparently lifeless on the ground. Its master was moved even to tears, and be- wailed the unhappy fate which had not only deprived him of a favorite, but left him horscless at the most interesting mo- ment of the war. A crowd gathered around and in it were men whose kind hearts would not suffer them to leave the poor man without some practical expression of their pity. A subscription was made, and the*man, taking the saddle from the life- less animal went on his way with dried tears, for he had actually wept. As the crowd were bending over the little horse in ‘pure sympathy, a whistle was heard at the other end of the street. The horse sprang to bis feet, and with a joyful neigh joined his master, whose clever trick was much admired, even by those who suffer- ed by it. Col. Beasley has fur a long time urged upon influential men in North Carolina the propriety of the Legislature establish- ing a bureau of emigration in Baltimore, to which the people throughout that State could report the character of hbor re- quired, so that intelligent directions could be given to persons desiring to establish themselves there, and that a fund be rais- ed to enable emigrants to proceed to their destination. Under the present law Gov- ernor Vance has no further authority than to appoint an agent in this city, and the mcans necessary to carry the plans into effect must be procured by private effort. Most of the men who now desire to emi- grate are not only fitted for the cultiva- tion of land, but are also skilled mechan- ics and capable greatly of aiding by their trades, to the resources of a thinly settled country. The next legislature will take hold of this subject. It is one of great importance to our State. We need men to fill our idle lands. The State cannot have rapid growth and development without a con- stant stream of healthy immigration in- flowing upon us fron, other countries. To bring about this resy]t, to make the most of the movement set agoing by Gov. Vance, his hands should be upheld by the people and the Legislature, ———___~~m- - Brigham Young's Funeral, Warren county. “ “ce ————~-e— GOETHE. It has been the habit of certain persons in uninformed circles, to class Goethe, who is to modern German literature, what Shake- spear is to English, with rationalists, and skeptics. The verdict is unjust. A man whose colossal genius stands pre-eminent in the ages, and whose influence has had, and still exercises, a mighty moulding power upon the intellectual life of a great people, ought to be dealt with justly, at least, if not gencrously. We can not conceive that a skeptic, or a rationalist, could have written such a senti- ment as this, for instance: “Religion does what philosophy could never do; it shows the equal dealings of Heaven to the happy and unhappy, and levels all human enjoy- ments to nearly the same standard. It gives to both rich and poor the same happiness hereafter, and equal hopes to aspire after it.” A LITTLE LOGIC, ‘Father, do you remember that mother asked you for two dollars this morning? ‘Yes, my child, what of it?’ “‘Do you remember that mother didn't get the two dollars ?’ ‘Yes, and I remember what little don’t think about.’ ‘What’s that father ?” ‘I remember that we are not rich, But you are in a brown study.

Probably nothing in farm experience is better settled than the advantages of fall sowing of oats, from the 15th of August to the 15th ef Getober, being the extremes, while from the let to the 15th of Septem- ber is regarded as geneally the most fa- vorable time on fair land, Those who expect to sow wheat on ei- ther oat or wheat stubble, should break it just as soex as possible, The grasa, stub- ble and weeds will rot in a very few days if ploughed under while the soil is moist and the weather warm. Clever and grass seeds shonld be sown this month ; there is usually sufficient rain at this season to cause the seeds to germi- nate, and the young plants get a firm hold by winter. If not sown this month or early in September, it is best to be defer- red til February. --— ~—Dd—-.- -— Stumbling Horses, The best horse indeed may stumble. If it arises from a heavy fore-hand, and fore- ‘legs being too much under the horse, or being too uarrow ff the breast, no one can alter the natural shape of the animal. A young, overgrown animal, and one of spirit, if not properly broken tn, will com- monly stumble. If it arises from tender- footedness konck-kneedness, or feet turn- ed in or out, you will find it 9 difficult matter to remedy. A tight rein is a cau- tion that should not be omitted, In pur- chasing a horse, if he has sears, or the hair be broken on the legs, and if he springs out when he stumbles as if he fear- ed a whip or spnr, you may beware of a stumbling jade aud perpetual faller. A big horse is usually a eer. In the majority of cases trippifg is found to be practiced by young, overgrown horses be- fore they have arrived at maturity. A known stumbler should never be ridden, but should be put to slow, heayy work, MATURITY OF SEED, Under a little reflection it is very obvi- ous, and appears rational and physiologi- cal, that the vigor and productiveness of a plant depends very much upon the pers fect maturity and vital condition of the seed from which the plant eprings, and that no manure op fertility of soil can make a weak plant as vigorous and pro- ductive as a strong one. This is true of every plant from a radish to an oak. Yet howoften is this great truth disregarded. Has it ever oceurred to the planter to ask himself why there is so much differ- ence in the plants of corn in the same bill, all treated alike? or why there is such a difference in the vigor of a lot of seedlings of any plant when all are in the same bed or drill, and under the same conditions? I could state many facts tending to show that by careful attention to the perfect maturity of seed the preductiveness of an- ual plants can be much increased, and that perennial plants ean be obtained of quicker growth and greater hardiness, but it does not seem necessary to do this. In- deed I believe the “running out” of the new wheats and other plants jn a few years after their introduction is caused by the premature gathering of the crop to prevent the waste of seed; and yet the plant from the heavy, well-matured grain would tiller and yjeld morp at harvest than five shrunken kernels, with their puny and yellow stalks. So, too, of corn. It often rots in the ground, or comes up fee- ble and yeliow, and the planter often says in explanation of this, “that the weather is too gold; the ground is too wet; there js too mach manure in the hill > &e. On inquiry I have generally found in sach in- stances, that the farmer went through his field before harvest to select his seed corn, or if selected at the husking, more atten- tion was given to the size of the ear than to the ripeness of the grain. One of my neighbors, however, follows the practice of his grandfather, and selecta for seed on- ly the ears which haye limber byts to the cobs or cars, though the ears may be small, mere “nubbins,” He does not know why these ears were preferred, but his corn al- ways ripens and yields well ; and jt is ev. ident, from the condition of the gob, that the grain is ripe, and receiving no further putriment from the root or leaf, I think it would pay well for every far- mer to leave a portion of his field ungath- ered unti)] the grain is perfectly ripe, even if some shook out ; and in the case of corn, not to cut the top stalks, but to leave ev- “part of the plant to complete its ap- repriate fanetion in the perfection of seed,—Country Gentleman. —_—_~—-—_-——- CLOVER AS A FERTILIZER. In an essay on green crops as fertilizers, read by J. L. Johnson, before the horti- eultural society of Warsaw, lowa, refer- ring to clover, he says: Of all plants with which I am acquaint- ed, and which are especially adapted to our latitude and climate, the aoe Tae clover is perhaps the very best - lizing the soil; it being one of the best, if not the very best to collect the accumula- ed richness of the atmosphero ; while its long and searching roots penetrate the soil in all directions, far beyond the depth reached by our most scmatite avd apts ploughmen, loosen su aptas +: and bringing up mineral substance of the greatest value in promot- ing the growth of vegetables, grain or fruit. Red clover as a fertilizer not only en- riches, but renders the soil more open to admit the circulation of the atmosphere, thereby retaining the moisture and thus producing the best results, We should endeavor to attian to a proper knowledge of the wants of the soil, for it is only by doing so that we become able to decide as to what fertilizer is most needed, or what rotation of crops to grow for the benefit of the soil. Knowledge and energy are the real foundation of profitable farming. In all cases where soils contain but lit- tle organic matter, a larger proportion of vegetable manure is required, and it is im- portant that we bury beneath such soils all the vegetable matter possible, not only red clover, but also oats, rye, buckwheat or even weeds (if we are so careless or slovenly as to produce weeds,) as we may thus destroy the seeds of weeds, andat the same time increase the fertility of the soil, The amount of green manure in an acre of red clover isalmostincredible. On the very poorest land enough can be produced, if utilized and rightly applied, to greatly enrich the soil, I see it is stated in the California Farmer that Professor Gedzie in a chemical test, claims to have fonnd one piece of heavy June grass, (grass and roots together,) containing more than one hundred tons peracre. If this statement is correct, but few farmers have even a proper conception of the actual quantity by ploughing under a heavy grass sward of clover. Then we must consider how easy it is for us to obtain this great fertilizer. It costs us no freight, as does the com- mercial manures; it requires no hauling, as does the barnyard manure, and it needs no spreading. It comes to us freighted on every breeze, of vegetable matter they add to the soil | i ie ae 2 ‘ to. ~ trate the ext ta acl! , or eons as a The sibgalar shifts and devices resorted to by that clever animal to fling the hounds in pur- suit of him off the scent or to escape their fury, have often excited my admiratjon, and I confess that in reading the details of a fox chase my sympathy always goes with the pursued, not with the pursuers. There is one aneclote of a fox saving his know to be perfectly authentic, and have mach pleasure in now putting on record. One day, during the hunting season, & lady was sitting in the dining-room of an old mansion-hoase in the southwest of Scotland, when she saddenly heard the sound of hounds and horn, and perceived that the chase was passing not far from her door. In afew minutes she was start- led by the erash of a broken pane ip & section of the bow window near which she was sitting. Looking round she saw that the damage had not been done by any stone or ball that had struck the glass but by the hunted fox, which had thus made a desperate dash for his safety, Reynard was in the room, perfectly worn out with fatigue, and seemed-piteously to implore protection. The lady of the mansion would not have been a woman had she not sheltered the poor animal who had flung himself upon her merey. She instantly opened a wall-press in the room, and, as she pointed to the bottom of it, the fox entered and allowed himself to be secure- ly shut in, The shutter was closed upon the broken pane, and a few hounds that appeared in front of the house, after ran- ning suspiciously about for a little, were ealled off to join the pack. Tho lady seeing the huntmen at some distance dig- ging away for half an hour at a covered drain in which they suspected the fox had tuken refuge, and through which he had probably passed. After their fruitless search “the field” went off disappointed, having had a capital run, but lost their fox. the sportsmen called him, lay safe in his snug quarters, He was allowed to remain the was offered by his kind protector a which he heartily partook.

Charles Kaiser, who has the only hive of bees in town, says that when he first got his swarm, his old cat’s curiosity was much excited in regard to the doings of the little insects, the like of which she had neyer seen, At firat she watched their comings and goings at a distance, She then flattened herself upon the ground and crept along toward the hive, with tail horizontal and quivering. It was clear- ly evident that she thought the becs were some new kind of game. Finally she took up a position at the entrance to the hive, and when a bee came in or start- ed out, made a dab at it with her paws. This went on for a time without attract- ing the special attention of the inhabitants of the hive. Presently, however, “Old- Tabby” struck and crnshed a bee on the edge of the opening leading to the hive. The smell of the crushed bee alarmed and enraged the whole swarm. Bees by the score poured forth and darted into the fur of the astonished eat. Tabby rolled her- self in the grass, spitting, sputtering, bi- ting, clawing and squalling as cat never squalled before. She appeared a mere ball of fur and bees as she rolled aud tumbled about. She was at length haul- ed away from the hive with a garden rake, at the cost of several severe stings to her rescucr, Even after she had been taken to a distant part of the grounds, the bees stuck in Tabby’s fur, and about once in two minutes she would utter an uneartb- ly “yowl” and bounce a full yard in the air, On coming down she would try to seratch an ear, when a sting on the back would cause her to turn a succession of back somersets and give veut toa running fire of squalls. Like the parrot that was left alone with the monkey, old Tabby had a dreadful time. ‘l'wo or three days after this adventure, Tabby was caught by her owner, who teok her by the neck and threw her down near the beehive. No sooner did she strike the ground than she gave a fearful squall, and at a single bound reached the top of a fence full six feet in height. There she wlung for @ moment with tail as big asa rolling»pin, when with another bound and squall shoe was out of sight and did not again put in an appearance for over a week.— Virginia City (Nev,) Enterprise.

With- out even knowing the name of the pro- prietor, a man may eat a single dinner and endorse all hands and the cook. But good fare ought to be the rule, for the trees are loaded with fruit and all the Northern strikers could find employment in gathering the grand and growing crop. Catawba valley is lovely —withyast fields, Morganton is 1140 feet above the sea, and Marion 1425. Now the mountains seem to come nearer to each other, and the valleys are growing yery barrow. At dark the train and stage weet at St. Bernard’s Hotel, only three niles from the top of the Ridge. Capt. Sprague is heavily taxed; but he bears it well, and, after a good supper, puts the writer in a room with Rev. Dr. Hubbard, oneof the most able and illustrious of mod- ern divines. Sorry he was not retained jn our State. Wish he conld even now return. If the St. Bernard did not furn- ish meals so uniformly good (with appe- tite thrown in) the passengers would certainly complain of such an early break- fist. But Swannanoih Gap is 2657 feet above the sea, and so we keep climbing til we reach the Ridge, and look back over the vast sea of mountain peaks. Now weroll down the mountain frequently crossing the Swannanoih and often gazing with hungry mouths at the cool springs and milk-houses. At last are Asheville, and enjoying dinner at the ex- cellent boarding-house of Mr. W. S. Bar- nett, formerly of Granville. Now Ashe- ville is 407 feet lower than the Gap; but still it is mountainous and its cold dry climate draws many hundreds of visitors. The town is full of them, and you meet them on every road, going every where. Mr.8.C. Shelton has a noble chestnut mule, and is willing to lend him. Mr. Blair has a buggy, and soon ‘Westward ho.” Dinner at Turnpike and supper at Waynesville. Somany magnificent moun- tains, so many waving fields of buck- wheat and corn growing together in har- novy! Delicious rest in Waynesville. Alonely drive to Shoal Creek camp meet- ing.

Still the camp meeting goes o. Aqniet night with Mr. Enloe, at Quallatown. One word about we in THE SPELLING OF INDIAN NAMES. Many of their words terminate with an accented syllable which our letters refuse to spell. The sound resembles the French un, the English e, ee, a, ah, and oe, and Jet it differs from them all. James Blythe and Will West say our ih will come near- er representing the sound than any com- bination of letters we can make. So they do say Quallatown, but Kahlih. They do not say Tuckasege, but Tuckaseigih, making five syllables, They also say Veoneluftih, Junaluskih, Swannanoih, Cowih, Katagouskih, &e. As our people how spell these names in many ways, confussion often results. It would be Wiser to spell uniformly as the Indian ad- Vise, INDIANS AT HOME, Sitting in Mr. Enloe’s house, reading of Dr. Livingtone’s travels in Afriea, a loud ‘Seb-ougkh,’ is heard, and there stands Will West. He has come with Onolih (Black Fox) to interpret a letter from Washing- fon. After reading and hearing the letter English and Cherokee, Will West. is ready to go up “Soco.” Now Soco is frou 000 to 4000 feet above the sea. Its wa- tris clear as crystal, and its valley is Teh as the shore of our beautiful Mata- nuskeet. This is the wild mountain home of the Cherokees. They also follow the creek down to Oconeluftih River. On this * the magnificent farm of Sawnuke (Fly- ng Squirrel), the Chief, George Bushy- head lives here also, in his little cabin. He has passed for a preacher, and swin- dled White men ont of money. But a White man opened a store with his capi- a and very soon the white man had all 7 capital and left Bushyhead with a sad cata only. The Indians have no as # now.

They admire owl for his silence and circumspect ...u, and many take that name. A white man was preaching at Birdtown with David Owl as interpreter. He used the words “eon- glomerated,” and Mr. Owl declared there was no such word in Cherokee, and eall- ed another man to be “Jinguister.” The Indians are semi-civilized, semi-religious, and semi-suspicious on account of fre- quent swindles, SWAIN COUNTY. This is a small new county. The trav- eler fords Oconeloftih, and takes down the Tuckaeigih to Charleston, and there, he fords that also. The town is very small, and the Court House and jail are combined in one small bailding. With a weak jail and strong lawyers, men accus- ed of crime run at large, and no one dares to hold the office of sheriff, because his first duty would be to arrest these defiant law-breakers. Charleston has no preach- er, no church, no school. The Clerk said there was no school in the county; but another man said he heard that “Jo Up- ton’s gal was going to start oné up Ten- nessee River.’ So a county named in honor of the late President of the Uni- versity has no school unless “Jo Upton’s gal has started one.” The county is also in debt, and has no money to pay for the trial of its criminals in other counties. Here is the nucleus for a bind cf outlaws and robbers. But the county contains many good citizens and many valleys of very rich land. MACON COUNTY. Tennessee River rises in Georgia, near Clayton, in Rabun Co. It passes North- ward through Macon county, N. C., where it is enlarged by several creeks ; then it receives the Nantehalih and forms the boundary between Swain and Cherokee. But a river is itself a public highway in the East. In the West the public road runs first on one side and then on the other of the rivers, and so they become very unsuitable for boundary lines. Moun- tains really divide, and they are therefore Ma- con is ® mountainous, but well-watered and wealthy county. Its mountains a- bound in Mica, now extensively mined It is found in sheets as large asa sheet of fools- cap paper, aud cut into panes for orna- mental stoves and ranges. Macon people have recently received several hundred thonsand dollars for Miea, and large sums to be preferred for boundary lines. and sold at seven dollars a pound. are spent in boring the mountains. Some miners, in following u shaft, rec- ently found in loose dirta mattock, the irous of a windlass and several gads_ for split- tling rock. A large cak growing in one of these ancient shafts was seventy-two years old. So it is possible that, when Roanoke [sland was captured by the In- dians, they carried these tools to the mountains and mined for silver and other metals. Possibly they were carried from Jamestown, Va. Be this as it may, the Indians had iron implements at least 70 years ago and left them inthe mines. Near Macon is a large Indian mound, rising in the flat near the river. edin a few places, and one excellent hatehet of superior workmanship has been taken therefrom. Corundum is also abundant in these mountains. But its value is mainly prospective. Occasionally glittering garnets and beautiful beryls Mr. Cunninggim keeps a good It has been open- are found. hotel, and Dr. Love, Capt. Robinson, Dr. Gaston and other excellent citizens keep Franklin lively. From Franklin to Web- ster the distance is twenty miles. But Cowih Mountain lies between, and the road is long and steep. Blackberries are still green and red upon its lofty top. At Webster six Indian orphans came up ready to start to Oxford. Several Indian men and women also came to see them start. All were hungry—lIndians are generally hungry, and their dogs are hounds and poor as the chase conld make them. Conveyance was needed, and a Confederate price was demanded, though Confederate money was not received. The traveler was at the merey of one who “Spake,” and it was done. But in Way- nesville the scene shifted. The traveler attempted to pay for his dinner and for the dinners of his horse and orphans, but was informed that some gentlemen had come over and settled the bill. Noble and divine generosity! Their names are not known; but the Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward them openly. Sp THE LONGEST RIVERS IN THE WORLD. The following are the largest rivers, with their extent: The Amazon, iv South America, falls from the Andes through a course of 2,600 miles; the Mississippi, from the Stony Mountains, runs 2,690 niles; La Plata, from the Andes, 2,215 miles; the Hoangho, in China, from the Tartarean chain of mountains, is 3,260 miles; the Yangtsekiang runs from the same mountains, and is 3,060 miles long ; the Nile, from the Jihel Kamriymouutains, courses 2,690 miles; the Euphrates, from Ararat, is 2,020 miles long; Volga, from the Valdais, is 2,100 miles; the Danube, from the Alps, is 1,790 miles in length ; the Indus, from the Himalayas, is 1,070 miles; the Ganges runs from the same source, and is 1,650 miles long; the Orin- oco, from the Andes, is 1,500 miles long ; the Niger, or Wharra, is 1,909 miles length; the Don, the Dnieper and the Senegal are each over 1,000 miles in length; the Rhine and the Gambia are eight han- dred and eighty-eight miles in extent. {Prom the Raleigh Observer.) AN IMPORTANT REVOLUTIONARY PAPER FOUND. It has longeen known and lamented that so mach of the proof of the part that North Carolina took in the movement that led first to the Revolution, afterward to the independence of the American States, was hid away in the private papers of our ancestors. A striking instance of this fact has just come to our knowledge iu the discovery of a document that places our forefathets beyond question in the very forefront of the movement for independence from British dominion. It fixes beyond a déubt ‘that independence was the leading idea of the men of North Carolina as early as it at that date it was from prudential motives alone, the co-operation of other States being of course necessary to the accomplishment of their purpose. The names signed to the paper are well known as those of the prominent men of their day in the State and the genuineness of their signatures can be easily proved by inspection and com arison. This pa- per, it may be as well to state, is not a mere copy but an original, with the sig- natures in the proper handwriting of the signers, and in some instances with the dates of signing attached. The paper ought to be preserved with the greatest care and photographic copies made of it. The paper was found by Captain Ap- pleton Oaksmith, of Carteret county, on the 8th day of May last, while searching among some old papers at the house of Cicero Green, Esq., at Clear Spring, in Craven county, which house was erected and occupied by Mr. Green’s great grand- father. James Green, Jr., of Revolution- ary fame. The document is in good pre- servation, apparently in the handwriting of Richard Caswell, being first signed by him, and one hundred and eighty-five prominent patriots of the State, of Revo- lutionary times, among whom are Willie Jones, Cornelius Harnett, William Gra- ham, Hezekiah Alexander, Robert Irwin, Zaccheus Wilson, Jehn Brevard, Waight- still Avery, Joseph Hewes and John Sevier. The following is a verbatim copy of this precious document : DECLARATION, “We the subscribers do declare that we will bear faith (sic) and true Allegiance to the Independent State of North Caro- lina, and to the powers and authorities which may be established for the govern- ment thereof; and we will, to the utmost of our powers, maintain and defend the same against Great Britain, and all other Powers, Enemies to the United States of America. And this we do most soleinn- ly ang sincerely declare without any Equivocation, mental evasion or secret reservation whatever.” We regret that we are unable at this writing to present the names of all the signers of this Declaration. We hope how- ever to beable todo so ina few days. When it is remembered that the first Convention or Congress as it was called, that was held independently of Royal authority in North Carolina for redress of grievances, met on the 25th of August, 1774, and was held in Newbern, the inference isa strong one that most of the signatures were then and there obtained. We beg leave to suggest to Captain Oaksmith that it would be a most graceful act for him to present the document to the Historical Society of North Carolina. We know of no other repository 80 appropriate. With this document before them, sign- ed in 1774, declaring for independent gov- ernment and a readiness to fight for it, no one need be surprised at the ability of the North Carolinians to conduct the brilliant campaign that cplminated in the battle of Moor’s Creek, in February, 1776, nor at the Mecklenburg Declaration in May of the preceding year. ~__>— ..._. FROM THE BITE RATTLESNAKE. DEATH OF A On Thursday of last week, while a num- ber of colored persons, both male and fe- male, were digging for medical roots in the Bee Tree range of Craggy Mountain, one of their number, named Elvira Seneca, better known as Vira Lytle, was struck by a rattlesnake upon her right leg, just below the knee. Her screams brought several persons to her side who killed the spake, and then rendered the unfortunate woman all the he!p in their power. With the view of keeping the poison from communica ting with her body, a cord was tied tightly around the wounded limb, just above the knee. They then started for the nearest settlement, about three miles off, the wo- man walking. When about half way she became exhausted, and had to be carried. When they arrived at the nearest house some whisky was procured, and about aquart and a pint adininistered, but without beneficial effect. In a short time the poison penetrated her entire system, and she was a frightful object to be- hold ; her body was swollen to twice its natural size, and her legs and arms were puffed to doable their ordinary propor- tions. In this condition the woman sur- vived 24 hours, during time which she suffered the most terribleagony. She was amarried woman, but bas been separated from her husband for several years. She leaves four children to the charity of the | world. — Asheville Pioncer. MORE ABOUT THE ELLINGTON GOLD DISCOVERY. The vein of gold which was found a week ago yesterday on the place of Mrs. David 8. Ellington, has teen farther worked. A shaft has been gnnk to the depth of twelve feet, and y spec- imens of the ore were exh in -our office. They are finer even than the quartz which was found jnst beneath the surface. A considerable part of this is brown ore, and contains large quantities of gold. All the specimens exhibited were particularly fine. _ Mr. Ellington had taken some of the worser lookin g quartz and from it Soo alin me pre Pea day to the mint. Thus far the vein has only been traced a distance of about fifty feet. Its average width is five inches. M. L. Holmes, Esq., of Salisbury, who is we suppose, the most experienced miner in the State, examined this ore yesterday, and was surprised at its richness, as in- deed every one else who has seen it has been. Mr. Holmes pronounces it the best ever gotten iv North Carolina, surpassing even the “finds” which have been made in years past at the famous Russel mine in Montgomery county. It is a matter of surprise to mining gentlemen in this city that the vein should have proved of any depth. ‘The first impression was that it was a mere pocket on the surface which would soon be exhausted, but the further the shaft is sunk the better the ore be- comes, and the mine bids fair to turn out a highly valuable oue.—Char. Observer. +e EMMIGRANTS FOR NortTH CAROLINA.— The company of mechanics styled the ‘Baltimore Emigration Society,” organ- ized four wecks ago to see if they could better their fortunes by engaging in agri- culture, held a meeting last night at No. 232 East Monument street, A. Thompson in the chair, and W. E. Tegler, secretary. Several members have their names en- rolled and the average attendance is ten or twelve. Out of eleven prescut last night ten voted to locate in North Caro- lina, the single dissentient only opposing the selection of a destination anywhere until more light is obtained. The princi- pal objects moving to the choice of North Carolina were its propinquity to Balti- more, a good market.fer the preductions ot their land, the smaller cost of getting there, and the country being old and more like Maryland than the new and distant Kansas, Texas, or even than Florida. The meinbers paid in their weekly dues of twenty-five cents each, and appointed a a committee of three to get further in- formation abont North Carolina from Col. Beasley.— Baltimore Sun. o —— -@- = Speaking of the recent disclosures of the open venality of John J. Patterson, United States Senator from South Caro- lina, the Mobile (Ala.) Register says: “A deeper, more revolting scheme of frauds never was unravelled before a civilized community, and so clear, so palpable are the proof, all in the hand-writing of the guilty man that it seems impossible for him to escape the penitentiary, or, if it were in North Carolina, the whipping post.” This would convey the impression that the whipping post is an institution in North Carolina. Such is not the came. Would to God it were so. Call it a “relic of barbarism” or what you will, but there is nothing to equal it for the repression of crime.—Char. Observer. Nearly all the people, and the editors especially, want it restored... Why not have it? Let it be demanded at the next election. rE . A SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY. (Fayetteville Gazette.) Last Sunday a man was very scriously and perhaps fatally stabbed during a difficulty which occurred in this county, at Judson’s Church, two or three miles east of Cape Fear. It seems that Walker Pearce, the adventist, gave notice that he would preach at that place on Sunday afternoon, and at the time appointed a crowd assembled, whereupon Jesse Dud- ley declared that Pearce should preach neither in the building nor on the ground, at which A. J. Hollingsworth persisted that he should. This led to hard words and then to blows, during which Dudley was stabbed eight or ten times, some of his wounds being very serious. Deputy Sheriff Brown arrested Hollings- worth at his house before daylight on Monday morning, and he was committed to jail without bail. —_——o0e——————"" Go.psporo, N. C. Sept. 5, 1877.

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 183—A plague, thoughit to be a species of the Tex- as fever, has broken out among the cattle in the surrounding country. Texas cattle this year are covered with ticks of two varieties, and the bite is poisonous to the blood. Many cattle are dying daily, and several cases of children having been poi- soned by drinking the infeeted milk have already come to the notice of the city physicians. The beef is affected by the dis- ease but can be easily detected by spots. The disease is thought to be infectious. Scnenerctapy, N.

The cows die within a day or two. — eee Are Farmers Liable.—Somebody has raised the question as to whether or not the farmer who sells supplies to his labor- ers is subject to the tax of five dollars im- posed on merchants, travelers, &c., and the matter has been referred to State Treasurer Worth for settlement, and we learn by the Raleigh News that in answer to the inquiry, the treasurer states that if a farmer sells to his laborers provisions or anything else, at a profit, he is required under the law to pay the tax, but he is not liable to the tax on the purchases if the goods were bought of merchants in the State, they being supposed to have al- ready paid this tax.—Charlotte Observer. We would like to know what products of the farm will be sold without profit, and how it can be expected farmers can live without a profit on their labor. epee International Rifle Match—America Wins.

Lonpon, September 12.—12 M.—In- formation of a terrible disaster in the English Channel has just been received. The British ship, Avalanche, Captain Williams, from London, September 4th, for New Zealand, collided with the British ship Forest, Captain Lockhart, from bon- don, for New York, off Portland, and both vessels foundered. Ninety-six persons were drowned. ‘The Forest wasin ballast, and hadacrew numbering twenty-one. Cap tain Lockhart, the chief mate, and seven others were saved. The Avalanche had a crew of thirty-two and fifty passengers. The third officer and two seamen only were saved. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Forest struck the Avalanche between the main and mizzen mast, nearly cutting herin two. The latter sank immediately. The Forest, though utterly wrecked, kept afloat an hour or two. Three boats lanch- ed from her, only one of which has yet been saved. It contained the twelve per- sous already mentioned as saved. Oneé boat has washed a shore and also sev- eral bodies. Other boats, it is feared, are lost. The Avalanche had _ sixty-three passengers, twenty-six saloon, seventeen second class and twenty third class, most- ly colonists. The accident occurred at half-past nine last night, seven miles off Portland. THE PROHIBITIONISTS. Boston, September 12.—The prohibi- tion convention organized and declared it would not affiliate with either the Repub- lican or Democratic party. It adopted the following : Resolved, ‘That we have in the adminis- tration of our national affairs, gentlemen whose patriotism and statesmanship we can trust, and that we most heartily com- mend the course of our President in ad- hearing to his promises, and putting into execution wise and expedient methods for the reform of our civil service, aud the establishment of a permanent union, peace and prosperty throughout our land. The resolution was greeted with con- siderable applause. —— The Charleston Neics and Courier, in its annual review of the trade of that city, notes theshipment of wheat with much pleasure, and perdicts that it is destined to become an important article of export. By the completion of the Port Royal Railroad wheat is now brought, without change of cars or breaking bulk, directly from Nash- ville to the Savannah and Charleston Railroad wharf on Ashley river, where it is transferred from the cars to the ves- sels by means of movable chutes. The trade so far has been exclusively to Lon- don, but there is no reason why wheat should not be sent advantageously in the same manner to any other foreign port. ee ae Brigham Young is scarcely cold in his grave before prominent Mormons—among them the oldest son of Joe Smith—openly preach against polygamy and advocate a separation of church and state. The tem- poral poliey which the intense individual- ity of Brigham made possible will now fail, and the Church of Latter Day Saints disintegrate even more rapidly than it grew, and in a few short years will be re- mew bered only for the crimes committed by its leaders, or as a foolish delusion.

There is only one considerati : led mies Hat ane saible that can make us this rigid econo- ee himeelf ‘responsit for it. my, and that presents itself to all eyes here every day, viz: that this economy is filling the land with unemployed people, who-are driven to begging for want of something todo. Yesterday two pitiable cases of real or pretended hunger present- ed themselves in my office—large men, decent looking, and with no appearance of intemperance. They said they had not tasted food for twenty-four hours. This was almost incredible, for I know how ea- sy it is to get something to eat at almost any dwelling; but how would I or any one know that they spoke falsely? Inthe streets there are numerous begyars, men, women and children. It is hard to know what one ought to do in such cireumstan- ces. If you refuse relief to a worthy ob- ject it is sad; if you give it to an unwor- thy one, itis not much less so. In old tines, in prosperous days, it was not so difficult a question to decide—it was best to give to all, since it was impossibe to distinguish between the worthy and the unworthy. An application of this legal maxim, that it is better that ninety-nine guilty men escape punishment than that one innocent man should suffer, may be inade liere. In the last Christian Union I find a strong article by the Rev. Dr. Wm. Aik- man in favor of whipping for crime as practiced in Delaware. He cites notable cases in that State, as evidence of its good effect, one of which very much resembles the case of the gamblers who were public- ly whipped at Wilmington, in our State, some twenty years ago for opening a faro- bank there. They swore at the State as an uncivilized people, vowing that they would never set their feet in it again, which was the very thing the State desired. Dr. Hawks once expressed himself very strongly in favor of the gallows, the pillo- ry and the whipping post as great props to civilization. Probably some of the com- mittee of citizens who called on him at my house may remember the conversation. I have not time to repeat it. He gave some notable examples, one of them grow- ing out of a celebrated stage roberry near Baltimore. I am clearly of opinion that the whip- ping post ought to be re-established. It is sad to hear from Washington that President Hayes and his Cabinet are seri- ouly discussing and condemning the in- dictment of the South Carolina Radica rogues. Gen. Hampton could never have agreed that the law should not be enforced against these furgers and thieves. He is a gentleman and a man of sense, and therefore would not have done so. He would have been little less vile than they ifhehad. That the President and his Cab- inet object isa melancholy instance of decadence of public virtue. A SPIDER’S FATAL BITE. (Providence Journal.} A week ago last Thursday morning, Martha Cesar, a colored woman forty years, of age, and a wife of James Cesar, proprietor of a restaurant at 116 Wicken- den street, was awakened from sleep by a stinging sensation in her under lip, and foun that she had been bitten by somed insect. As the rude cabin in which they live, on Babcock street, is infested by numerous spiders, she supposed that one of them had crawled upon the bed while she was asleep. During the day her lip pained her severely, and at night it was badly swollen, and had tarn- ed toa purple color. She applied poul- tices and such simple remedies, but the swelling increased during Friday and Saturday, and the pain extended to her headandlimbs. On Sunday, Dr. Mathews was called and found that the poison had made its way into her system so rapidly that there were but slight hopes of her recovering from its malignant effects. However, he prescribed soothing medi- cines and applied poultices, which reduc- ed the swelling somewhat. On Monday Mrs. Cesar lost the control of her limbs, and was obliged to lie down.on her bed, from which she neverarose. On Tuesday she gradually became unconscious, and her faee was swollen beyond recognition, but she suffered terribly. She died at about 9:40 on Wednesday night. + * A NOVEL PUNISHMENT. {Tarboro Southerner. J His Honer Judge Cannon, was as much amused as the bar, jury and spectators, in the court room on Thursday, of last week, when Dick Barnes, a sombre-brown Afri- can, convicted of larceny, was brought up for sentence. “Mister Jedge,” says Dick, “will you allow me to speak a word ?” “Certainly, responded the Court, “let’s hear you.” ‘Mister Jedge, I clar fore God I never stole nothin’ in my life, ’cepteu’ a pig-tail at hog killin’ time, from my ole Missus, when I was a boy, an’, Mister Jedge, I shall never forgit my puuishment. She sowed dat pig-tail to my breeches behind, an’ when company would come she would make me come out and shake myself so dat tail would switch, and, Mister Jedge, I felt so mean an’ got so tired of dat pig- tail dat [ never stole nothin’ eense.

The politicians were afraid ° to discuss it. It was as if Addison Cald- well owed him several thousand dollars, and he should go to Mr. Caldwell’ ‘and burn up his stables and his barns and then call on him, Mr. Caldwell, please- pay me what you owe me. Of course Mr. Caldwell would reply, [owe you, but I shall not pay you after you have destroy- ed all Thad. And the people would say Caldwell was right. This was the view the people seemed to take, and the politi- cians always shied the question 6n their © canvass. Bring them out on it. Make them say what they will do. The Radi- cals had the Legislatue from °65 to 70 and they had never touched it. And the Democrats had had it from ’70 to 77 and they were as mum as mice. They had even been afraid to tax the people to pay the interest on the debt. Mr. Turner looks thin. With his two boys he has been digging the ground for a living. He works a long lean horse named Stonewall Jackson, a bull named Bob Lee, and has * a big yellow dog called Jubal Early. He has had no negro or other help on his lit- tle farm. Devereux, one of the boys, aged 16, cut fourteen acres of wheat and oats himself, and they have taken it by turns in doing the cooking. It was hard times at his house when one of the boys remark- ed one morning, ‘‘Let’s all do without su- gar.” His wife never used it, but Turner was very fond of it, but he put it to the vote and he voted with the.boys and they ruled ont sugar by a unanimons Voice, As Duffy, the editor of the Patrot, said to Mr. Turner: ‘Joe you showed enongh grit on the Sentinel, but the most grit you have shown yet has been in the harvest field.” And again—as the other man said —‘Joe Turner still hasa hold on the hearts of the people.” So he+das.—Rieds- 4 ville Times. ee DEATHS IN THE Ministry.—Rev.

It must! in order to find out, we maid be glad if be applied to land in good condition or it | lecost of cultivation. Farmers frequently make a mistake at this point by putting the fertilizer on lands which yield over five bushels of corn, which, even if it increased the yield 100 per cent., and made ten bushels, there would be no mon- ey in it, because ten bushels per acre without a fertilizer would not justify its not all persons manufacturing, would keep a | ™ust be used as an agent to put the land memorandum of the number of gallons made and furnish us the figures. | | 0 | . : | W.

Asa general rule, the bet- ter the condition of the soil, will show a higher per cent. of yield. To illustrate, if any, and its application would raise it to 40 bushels, the result is an increase of 10 in the one but 2U in the other. While the cost isthe aame, the increase is 100 per cent iv both cases, but the profits of the one is 100 per cent. over the other. Any | one can readily see that the cultivation of | poor land is the ruin and canker worm that eats up the profit of the planter.

Some of our North Carolina contempo- raries have given altogether too much sig- nificance to an interview that was lately held with Mayor Latrobe in regard to the proposed emigration to North Carolina of | certain citizens of Maryland, and especial- ly to some incidental remarks in connec- tion therewith, that it is alleged were made by him in relation to the debt of that State. The interview was unofficial, and what passed on the occasion was scarcely worth the comments that has since been made upon it. The reluctance to encourage any considerable number of Maryland families to leave the State in which they have lived and labored, and in which some of them were born, is not peculiar to Mayor Latrobe. It extends to all classes of gur citizens,‘ and the objec-: with its beneficient results is ample proof } a teacher but he feels a lively interest in | need be no risk to run, and if there is a} better and the possibility of doing worse. We take it for granted that our North Carolina friends have the same liking for their people that we have for ours, and would be quite as sorry to see them strike their familiar tents and wander off in search of “fresh fields and pastares new.” As this is a feeling that is shared alike by both States, and grows out of the senti- ment of local attachment, such a prefer- ence expressed for one’s own soil ought to be regarded asa merit rather than of a cause of offense. We have no doubt that if any of our people were to accept the in- vitation extended to them by Governor Vance they would “find homes and a hearty welcome to the old North State.” But the fact remains that we have our- selve for years been seeking emigrants from abroad. For those agriculturally inclined we have large bodies of land up- on which industrious and thrifty colonist woukl do well; whilst those among us who are not afraid to work, and who are already as it were “to the manner born,” might do best of all. If, however, they are bent on going elsewhere, our sister States of Virginia and North Carolina are open to them and will welcome them. As to what passed through the interview between Col. Beasly aud Mayor Latrobe a good deal more stress has been laid upon it by the Raleigh Obserrer aud some other North Caolina papers than was necessary: The Raleigh News speaks much more sen- sibly and to the point when it says of the , vidual, and he alone responsible for them,’ earnest friend of North Carolina to-day she has ever been.” jand in war, bave linked Maryland to On the 6th day of September, 1877, Mrs. Laura C, Click, wife of James A.

AT THE UNITED STATES CENTENNIAL World’s Exposition, 1876 MASON & HAMELIN CABINET ORGANS Unanimously assigned the “FIRST RANK IN THE : SEVERAL REQUISITES” Of such Instruments! The MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO. have the honor to announce that the organs of their manufacture have been unanimously assigned “the FIRST RANK in the SEV- ERAL REQUISITES of instruments of the class” by the Judges at the CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION at Philadelphja, 1876, and are the ONLY INSTUMENTS OF THIS GEN- ERAL CLASS AWARDED THIS RANK. This is after the severést competition by the best makers, before one of the most competent juries ever assembled. They have also received the MEDAL, bnt, as is well kuown, medals of equal merit have been awarded all articles deemed worthy or recognition; so that it will be easy for many makers to advertise that they have received “first medals.” The differences in competing articles, and their comparative excellence, are recognized in the Reports of the Judges, from which the following is an extract: “THE MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO.’s exhibit of Reed Organs and Har- moniums ‘shows Instruments of the FIRST RANK IN THE SEVERAL RE. UISITES OF INSTRUMENTS OF HE CLASS: viz.: Smoothness and expression, resonance andsinging qual ity, freedom and quickness in action of” keys and bellows, with thorough- ness of wor manship, combined with simplicity of action.” (Signed by all the Judges.) The Mason and Hamn- lin Organs ar’ thus declared to rank first, not in one or two respects only, but in the SEV- EKAL REQUISITES ot such instruznents, and thev are the ONLY “ones assigned this rank. This triumph was not unexpected, for the Mason & [Hamlin Cabinet Organs have uniformly been awarded the highest honors in competitions in America, there having been scarcely six exceptions in hundreds ot competitions. They were awarded highest honors and FIRST MEDALS Paris 1867; Viewna '73 Santiago’79; PHILADELPHIA, 1876, and have thas been awarded highest honors at Every World’s Exposition at which they have been exhibited; being the ONLY AMERICAN ORGANS whieh have ever obtained ANY AWARD at any competition with >est European makers, or in any Euro World's ton / NEW STYLES, with improvements, exhibited at the CENTENNIAL; elegant new casesin great va- riety.

When home for the holidays, and walking with his father in the garden, his father pointed to a wall which he intended to have pull- ed down. “Oh,” said the boy, “1 should so like ta gee a wall pulled gown,”, “Well, my boy, yau shall,” said his father. The thing, however, escaped his mem- pry, and during the boy’s absence, a nnm- per of jmprovements were being made, and amang them, this wall ws torn dawn and a new one built up in its place. When the boy came home and saw it he said : Oh, father, you promised to let me gee that wall pulled down.” : Instantly the father remembered his promise, and was deeply pajned to think that he had seemed careless about his plighted word, “My boy,” he said, ‘you are right. I did promise, and I ought not to have for- gtten. It is too late now to do just what said I wauld, hut yqu want to see a wall ulled down, and so yau shall.” And he actually ordered the magons up and mage them pull down and rebuild the new wall, that ag nearly as possible his promise wight be made goad, ‘‘ It cost me twenty pounds,” he sajd to p friend wha was bantering him about it, but,” said he, !if it had cost a hundred, I should have thought it a cheap way of jmpressing on my boy’s mind as long as he lives the importance that a man of hon- er shonld attach to hjs plighted word.” amen GOOD MANNERS AT HOME. 1.

They agreed that neither should driuk without paying. On the way one drank a glass and paid his partner threepence. The other then had ao glass and returned the threepence. They kept up this alter- nation until, when they reached the Downs, the whiskey was all gone, and they had honestly paid for every drink, and were bewildered to find that they had only threepence between them. —a ~ = HOW TO GET ALONG.

It is not known where these tramps came from. ‘The four whe were asked to step up and out of the fire-boxes of the lo- comotives, may have gotten in them at Philadelphia, from which point the en- gines started, for all that anybody knows. We regret to record this circumstance, not so much on account of the depravity which it exhibits ou the part of the tramps, as on account of the fact that our burden of vagabonds here is already greater than we can bear.—Char. Observer. EE The New York workingmen’s platform has laid down, as its mudsill, that each man is entitled to a minimum of two dol- lars a day for eight hours’ work, and the government must keep the money for bim on interest till called for, All that remains now is to provide the money, and the thing will be complete as to the men—but how about women? Is nothing to be done for the women of America? Such athing is not to be thought of for a minute ; and then the working boys and girls ought to be provided for. Let them hold another convention and fix up this thing and also raise the money required, and it will be ‘right as a trivet.”— Raleigh Observer. Governor Hampton has at last admitted also promptness.

Es A Turwisu Faste.—Abdullah went to the residence of Nasereddin to borrow his mule.

When he failed to control | tion of the House was ordered in the hope of diminishing the Rephblican clement jn the popular branch of the pational Legisla- ture. When it became probable that the | people would seng a still larger Republi- | can delegation, every repressive expedi: | ent was resorted to, in order to prevent such a result. The newspapers have been put under the severest restrictions, editors have been heavily fined for expressing sentiments which were in no wise insur- rectionary,—simply a calm statement of the popular will; every reflection upon the President and his administration has been visited with summary punishment. One man was arrested for calling Mac- Mahon an ass, a very disrespectful term, but one which he had been doing his best to merit. The threat of the declaration of martial law was withdrawn but it was evidently made to test the temper of the people. At a council of Ministers, at which President MacMahon presided, it was also decided ta prosecute the Repub- lican leader, M. Gambetta, for the speech which he delivered at Lille. The journals which published it are alao to be prose- cuted. What form of coup d’etat to restore absolute despotisin will be resorted to does not yet appear, but it is plain that the Ipperialists are determined to throt- tle Republicanism by violence if it should be judged feasible. But the despotic lead. ers, who are now sowing the wind, will come to their senses when they reap the whirlwind, as they surely will if they at- tempt to put the yoke again upon the na- tion. Popery stands behind this despotic movement, but everywhere the Pope has been foiled jn poljtjcal manwuvering, and it will be so in Franoe, The day has dawned upon the world, Despotiam be- Jongs to the night,—-New York Observer. rr A mineral has beer found in Kern coun- ty, Cal., which ia puzzling the geologists ; noone knowa what to call it.

GP te pge SAD CHANGE OF FORTUNE, “Qh he’s nobody but a printer !” exclain- eda Miss Ellen- Dupree to one of her friends, who was speaking in terms of praise and commendation of Mr. Barton Williams, a young and very intelligent rinter. “Ellen, you speak as though a printer was not entitled to respectability. I hope you will explain yourself,” replied Miss Mary Crossman. “Well, hope you will excuse me; Ido) not think it becoming fora young man who has to labor for a living, to try to move in the society of those who are his superiors, and moreover, he might win the affections of a young girl superior to him in rank, and then do you think her parents would be pleased? I know L would rather live an old maid all my days than marry a ptinter—a-man that has to toil all day and night and then, oh, to think of being ranked among the poor,” whined out Miss Dupree. “Then you think they are beneath ou!” “Yes, of eourse.” “Both in worth and intelligence, too, I suppose, do you net ?” #Yes, everything !” Are you superior to a Franklin, toa Blackstone, to 9 Campbell, and many oth- er eminent men who were printers? Or do you believe your intellectual powers | soar above many other distinguished prin- ters of the present day ?” “Oh, now and then you come across one that is respectable, but they are few and far between. Andasto Mr, Williams, I do not consider him a Franklin, or a Blackstone, or anyone else much,” ‘Nor do I consider him beneath my no- | tice. Now Miss Dupree I think you ought to reflect seriously upon what you are, saying and have some regard for my feel- ings. You know not what you may come to before you die.” “Well, I don’t think I shall ever come to be the wife of a printer, or anybody who has to labor, nor do I intend to coun- tenance such either.” Miss Crossman remained silent for some time, while her face reddened with indig- nation. Mr. Williams was her lover and a very good looking man be was. He was of ordinary size, fair complexion, dark hair, a high and prominent forehead—live- ly and intelligent in conversation, and fluent and affable in his address. A gentle rap was heard at the door and the servant immediately announced Mr. Williams. He entered the parlor and Miss Crossman rose and introduced hiw. Miss Dupree affected to be polite, re- turned a slight bow and coolly said— “Good eveyjng, sir.” Mr. Williams and Miss Crossman con- versed freely—mostly upon literary sub- and unnecessary expenditures of money, we were dispossessed of a home and re- ‘duced fo abject poverty; and then my husband took to drink, and now lama beggar, and those children depending on my success for a living and I beseech you in behalf of my poor little children, to be- ;atow upon me such eharity as you feel | disposed to grant.” Her story was told and meta kind re- sponse from a generous heart.—The lady of the house recognized the poor woman ; | but she did not feel disposed to make her- self known, but ushered them into the ‘dining room and sat down with them toa ' warm supper.— “Madam,” said the lady, “what was your maiden name ?” | “Ellen Dupree.” . She thought her’s a familiag, voice; ale ‘had heard it before, but she could not re- ‘member when or where; and after a long | time she murmured— | I think I have known you in times gone by, but I cannot remember your ' name, my good lady ?” ‘Mary Crossman was my name when I knew you.” “Mary who ?” ‘“‘Mary Crossman.” , “My God! who is your husband ?” “Oh he’s nobody ; only a printer !” The poor woman remembered being in- troduced before her marriage, to Mr. Wil- liams—and she remembered, too, how cold and indifferent she was on that occa- sion. Yes, “nobody bat a printer” went like a dagger to her heart. That printer now was her benefactor. ——---— From the Southwestern Presbyterian. BACK-COUNTRY ELDER AT THE COUNCIL. Mr. Epitor: Rank is a thing of much | more consequence and more distinetly defined in the British Empire, and espe- | cially in Seotland, than it is with us in ; America, It js therefore noteworthy that, _ of the order of the nobility in Scotland, ‘several are elders in the Presbyterian THE | Chureh, and one at least is a minister. As the Council drew toward its close, we | had each a card of invitation from one of | the members—an elder—to spend a day | with him at bisyesidenee, thirty oy forty ‘miles southeast from Edinbargh, op his lestate. The note of invitation was in the customary phrase of polite society : ‘Lord land Lady Polwarth request the pleasure of the company,” ete. | In lieu of the customary note of aceep- | tance or regrets, those who would come were to signify it by their autography in | his Lordship’s book, opened for the pur- | pose in the reading-room of the Council. BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM, 3y the way, ‘‘autographs” were in great safely clad in armor of steel and fenceless. Whatevér romancers may have. na to say about thuse times, they did not ex- hibit a state of society to be admired by us. DRYBURGH ABSEY. Our excarsion train made a final halt at a railway station called “St. Boswell’s.” From this point a pleasant walk, crossing the river Tweed on a skittish suspension bridge of iron—so shaky that only ten persons at one time were allowed to pass —we soen came to the rains of “Dryburgh Abbey” a sweet spot, embowered among | ni yf ; even irose. a’ though not by any means so remarkable | for architecture, or in such good preserva- ‘tion. Here lie buried, side by side, the remains of Sir Walter Scott and his lady; | and across the two, at the head or the | feet, is the grave of Lockhart, their son- in-law. the trees in a cozy bend of the x MERTOUN HOUSE. The estate and residence of Lord Pol- warth, whose invited guests we all were | that day day lie in the next bend of the river Tweed, and lower down. Mertoun House is the name of the place. A slight- ly location, extensive park and cultivated grounds. Many grand old trees and gar- dens of flowers. It is a fine thing to be a _ lord, if they all are as nicely fixed as this | one. The duty of personal introduction to | | my Lord and Lady over—indeed while that shaking of many hands was going | on—an excellent lunch was provided ; and | the same had to be without stint, for by this time we excursionists came in with roaring appetites. No doubt the servants’ hall of that hospitable mansion will hand down to future generations of servants a | marvelous tradition of the quantities con- | sumed that day. Happily, while we were eating in the dining-room, the neighber- ing tenantry had their lanch provided out of doors, in the park ; and it is to be hop- ed his Lordship’s steward will never know certainly that we delegates got more than our share of the enormous stock of pro- visions that must have disappeared in that festive hour. I could extend this article beyond a reasunable limit, telling the many good | things said and done that day. all in fine spirits, like youngsters broke loose from school, bent on recreation and enjoyment, J saw no disturbed counten- ance there, except an American gentleman | who had previous notice he was to come | in for his speech of five minutes ; the same | being in him bottled up and eorked down In momentary danger of effervescence, he We were | Pp, passes with atation, and the man ned it callg it by the better ame. What he hagegntrived to get is is the true difference batween the terms. Whether it be reputation or notoriety, few persons with an itching for it are dis posed to let it take its own course, Afraid that it won't grow fast enowgh, they are ever ready, with all kivds of fertilizers and personal attention, to briny it for- ward. They force it in every way, and by their ceaseless forcing doit more harm than good, not unfrequently destroying it altogether. The number of men who act as dry nurses to their own reputation in politics, literature, law, medicine, theolo- gy, and even in society, is much greater | than the uninitiated suspect. Dry-nurs- | ing of this eceentric variety is se widely, | dilligently, regularly, and skillfully prac- ticed that it Wwell-nigh deserves to be | ranked asa profession. The profession is not avowed, however ; it could net be | without interfering with his own success. The popular notion is that any sort of | reputation is got without the least agency or co-operation of the getter. This man or that woman does somethiug, and the | doing is so remarkable and weighty that | it attracts public attention, and is duly Very often, | generally perhaps, the notion is correct; but there are many cases in which it is wholly false. Members of the dry-nurse | class have not sufficient faith in public or | even in private appreciation. Even be- ‘fore they have delivered themselves of | some mighty effort they are industrious in telling the proper persons how mighty the effect is to be, and of discovering the | most efficient means of self-advertising. | After they have delivered themselves | they move heaven and earth to insure am- ple notice of their performance; and \though they fail partially they seldom | Exertion, whether in a no- ~ ~ a ichronicled by the press. fail entirely. | ble or ignoble cause, is always fruitful.

A man and his wife were seated before a blazing fire. The evening was extremely cold, and the wind blew fierce and keen. The editor was housed with his wife, in their stately mansion, furnished in most superb style and lightéd brilliantly with chandeliers, | and they were the happy parents of four intelligent and interesting children. It was an hour after sundown and the bell had just rung for tea. A rap was heard at the street door and upon opening it there stood a woman pale and dejected, and ap- parently not far from the grave. She had with her three ragged children, shivering withcoid, The gentleman and lady kind- ly asked them in to the fire. Sir, will you be pleased to give me @ little movey to buy some bread for my ‘hungry children. My husband has been drinking for the last three weeks, and left me without a morsel to giye these poor innocents, or any fuel to keep them warm,” and then she wept bitterly. ‘‘Where do you live, ma’am ?” ‘In the garret of the old Phenix Hotel, sir.” “How long has your husband been ad- dicted to drinking?” asked the gentle- man’s wife in a kind tone. “About three years.” “Madam,” rejoined the generous editor, “IT amtruly sorry for you and of course shall bestow upon you 98 my means will ' allow. Will you relate your ihisfortunes? I always feel a deep sympathy for the un- fortunate.” “Mine is asad story. I was raised in afflaence; my father was a wealthy mer- chant.

The | day was fine overhead—perhaps the first right pleasant day we had enjoyed in the city. The “gentlemanly conductors” were in brand new uniforms, and everybody was smiling.

SS A TREMENDOUS GIRL. (Warren County ‘(Ky.) ae in the Franklin Pa- triot. This child, a girl, was four years of age on the 20th day of last March. She weighs 100 pounds, measures eighteeen inches across the chest, and is four feet eight and one-half inches high. There is a thick growth of hair covering her entire body while her face is covered with whiskers, including a mustache. Up to about eigh- teen mouths ago she was @ healthy girl. At about that time her body became very hot and was covered with perspiration, lasting several days. The odor occasion- ed by the perspiration was very offensive, and within fifteen minutes after being cleanly dressed her body and clothes would become saturated as if by some black colored liquid. When the perspi- ration ceased the hair began growing, only leaving the soles of her feet and the palms of her hands bare. Her voice at- tained a remarkable depth, sounding as though it came from the inside of a bar rel. Her strength is astonishing. She can carry her ten-year old sister under her arm with apparent case, and her mother states that the child actually does not know her own strength. The state- ments herein made are strictly true, and, if necessary, the testimony of the child’s parents and many people living in the neighborhood can be produced for corrob- oration. ee A FaMILy or CHILDREN GoNE.—A few weeks ago we published the sad death of three of Mr. John Andrew’s children, who died in three days.

ELEY COLORED WOMAN IN A TRANCE. [Wilmington Star.] A rather remarkable incident occurred in Cfpe Fear township, about three miles from this city, on Friday morning last. It appears that on Thursday afternoon, about 3 o'clock, a colored woman whose name we did not ascertain, who had been complaining of being unwell, being trou- bled with sore throat, ete., to all appear- ances died. The news of the supposed calamity soon spread throughout the neighborhood and quite a number of the colored people gathered at the house, when the body was laid out in the usual man- ner and preparations were commenced for the funeral. That night, in accordance with the usual custom among tlie’colored people, a crowd was present to sit up with the supposed corpse, and singing and oth- er ceremonies incident to such solemn oc- casions were indulged in. It was among the small hours approaching the dawn, and the devout worshipers had become warmed up to about the highest pitch of animal exciterfent, when all of a sudden the supposed corpse jerked herself up in- to a sitting posture and demanded to know what “all dat fass was about!” There was a sudden cessation in the vocal perform- ance—a break in the devotions of the sympathizing crowd—dire consternation took the place of grief and condolence in the hearts of the mourners, and in less time than we have taken to tell it the’ resur- rected woman (who it seems had only been in a trance) had been left in solitude }and wonderment to unravel the mystery of her condition and surroundings. ‘ . The Probabilities of a Democratic Senate. Republican managers are, manifestly much concerned lest the organization of the Senate shall fall to the Democrats. It is pretty nearly certain that Lonisiana will have two Democratic Senators and South Carolina one asking for seats when Congress meets. The Democra.s are strong enongh to prevent reference of their claims to committees, which will insure them their places. Morton will not most likely be able to occupy his seat, and Pat- terson, of South Carolina, is just in the condition that he will either be absent en- tirely, or be prepared to favor the Democ- racy to save himsclf from prosecution for crimes committed in South Carolina, Spexcer is not to be relied on by Republi- cans, and Connor is distrusted. All these things considered, it is not improbable that the United States Senate may be or- ganized on a Democratic basis when Congress meets on the 15th of October.— Char.

I do not claim for Mr. Hayes the whole in the fact that the Democracy are chang- ing front on the yegro. Pew Republicans believe them sincere in this, bat the facts point to a different conclusion, The cam- paign of 1868 was fought on square out Demoeratic issnes—hatred of the civil and poljtical rights of the negto And hos- tility to the incidental powers,of the gov- ernment—disguised under the terms “white supremacy” and “the sovereignty of the States.” This campaigu was follow- ed, under the violent and revolutionary teachings of poor Frank Blair, by such o harvest of Ku Klux outrages and wrongs that the Democratic managers thought it advisable to change tactics. In 1872 they went to the other extreme, and put up Mr. Greeley, the embodiment of Radical abolitionism and Federal consolidation. But there was method in this madness. The country bad become fearfully alarm - ed at the discovery of gigantic frauds, and practices of bribery and corruption, af- fecting all parts of the public service, Federal, State and municipal, especially the Oredit Mobilier at Washington, the Tweed ring at New York, and the opera- tions of Littlefield and others in the re- constructed States. This made ‘Civil Service Reform” a popular ery, and hence the clamor for “Ilouest” Horace Greeley. But this pomination was defeated by its very absardity, It left, however, follow- ed as it was by the singular and ead death of Mr. Greeley, a marked impression on the country. It strikingly illustrated the madness and folly of our race and section- al strifes, and pointed to the necessity for new issues, especially Civil Reform. From the day of the defeat and death of Mr. Greeley, Democrats more particularly | began to cast ubout fora new programme | and policy. In due time a more bold and liberal clasa of statesmen came to the front, and to mould, guide and direct the destiny of the old Democracy. The cam- paign of 1876 found Tilden, Lamar, Bay- ard, Lord, Hampton, Key, Morgan and others, comparatively new men, the guid- ing spirits of the contest. The ‘Scott Lord resolution,” by a Democratic house, virtually put the past policy of proserip- tion and Ku-Kluxing atan end, and some- what necessitated a change of party tactics towards the ‘‘darkey.” Here Hampton led the way. No secessionist, but a gal- and reconciliation ; a declared friend to negro suffrage ; ignoring all race and sec- tional animosities, he threw himself bodly aud confidently upon the colored voters and carried them by 30,000 for ‘honest home rule.” in South that has revived the erushed hopes of millions, and aroused aspirations for the national peace aud anity that will never die or decay. They only ask now that he will go forward with his purposes and give them and the whole country appoint- ments that are fit to be made,” Ogr Southern people heretofore havé been sorely tried. “But in all their resistance and remonstrancea, they have not so much complained of mere military role, when there was the least necessity for it, nor of mere carpet-baggers when they came with honest hearts and clean hands, for they almost universally accepted the whole programme of. the Yankee carpet-bagger, such as free schools, the township system, county governmentgand the “Medly code.” But they have com ptained, ‘and been ut- terly shocked and outraged, at the stupid, coarse, indecent and infamous characters, too often placed or voted over them as rulers and officials, both in State and Federal affairs, from Governors, Congress- men, Judges and Legislators, down to the lowest revenue officer or township com- mitteeman. Let the President only assure the South that he will in due time, and in his own way, remove every trace of this infamous and humiliating rule, and guard against its possible return, and many thousands of her best sons will rise up and defend him, just as Hampton has so nobly done. But I share your years. At heart, most of the regular politicians, and nearly all the place-seekers, are unfriendly to the Presi- dent and his policy. Heretofore, the ma- chinery of government was ran by party alone and the people had to submit ; good was hardly expected. Now too much will be expected, and evendemanded. Every thwart and defeat the proposed reforms, My hope is, under Providence, in thajus- tice of the cause ; in the largest latitude of | discussion, und in the now aroused patriot- jsm and courage of moderate men. Lethon- est Southern Republicans, whether few or many, come to the help of the Presi- dent and his department officials, and see that they are not misled, deceived or be- trayed, All this requires that self-sacri- water.

Mr. Key was also called eut, but made only a few remarks. Said times were get- | ting better aud we were all glad of it. COMING OF THE TRAMP. The Sonth is threatened with an inroad | of tramps, who seek 9 winter climate less severe than that of the Middle States. Already bands of them have erossed the Potomac and moved down on Virginia. We have chronicled their first outrages— the recent attack on the pay trajn of the Virginia Midland railroad, and the at- tempt to rob one of the depots of the same | company. These-or vtbers like them, had already visited Maryland and Dela- ware. Whgther any considerable num- ber of these vagrant can cross the State of Virginia and eyter North Caro- Jina is yet problematical, Certainly, the Virginians have realized the necessity of promptly abating the nuisance. They show a determiyed purpose to take the tramp jn hand at once, and suppress him, If they gugeepd our State will be savetl from hjs insolence and depredations. ~ But to be on the safe side, the authori- tieg pf the border counties should keep a sharp lookout for evil disposed tramps, gud apply the law to them with a prompt- nesg ‘ind severity that will deter others from invading our territory. For the tramp simply as av unemployed, homeless man, we have none other than feelings of kindness ; and for all such we invoke the exercise of charity. Many there are, no doubt, who come South with honest in- bentions, and jf they wander about the country ‘taimless, hopeless and homeless,” t is becgnge they cqn'f find employment. This kind of tramp hag yo evil designs, and dges na harm, But there are’ those who have no ‘Tédeeming features, are vicious by paturé and ‘criminals from habit ; who are enemies of sogjety, rob- vers, thieves ‘and rapists, Against these with the at- ———— 9 gee the Jaw shoul d be enforced rith rigor, whenever and wherever they Carolina was closely and others here in Charlotte. |wholly free from intimidation, bribery, |per portion of the west and deception, but it was the per- | building fronting on Nivth street, was ir bluster | sonal policy of Gen.

This all looks strange enough in a party that has for half a century done litile else than seek to decry, to despise and degrade the poor ignorant African. Here is ‘‘retribution,” and herein is the fatal mistake of Ben. Wade, Mr. Blaine andothers. Ifthe hoary headed abolition- ists could wicness, as 1 do, the bitterest Democrats now addressing crowds of dir- ty negroes with oily tongues, and in the loving tones of a “man and brother ;” or could he see Gov. Vance and his party friends in the North Carolina Legislature appointing negro magistrates or Gov. Hamp- ton and his party followers actually vot- ing a Radical carpet-bagger the Chief Justice of the Palmetto State; or could he realize the whole brood of Democratic politicians—smell and great—clamoring for negro schools and negro asylums, and voting taxes for their support, he would stand aghost with amazement, and, I fear, would swear—somehow Ben, Wade and Wade Hampton had got very close together. And such are the results of ‘peageable session.” Now, how could President Hayes close his eyes to these facts and these events ¢ He saw that “local self-government” and “eivil service refarm” were the vital wants of the day, and that the time had at last come when the ruling classes at the South must be trusted. Let him stand firm : he will not be deceived. The South- ern people have had before them a hard— @ painful and an untried experiment—a sad and sorrowful duty.

The upper por- tion, Ninth and G streets was gutted. The upper part of the building, the loft under the roof, was nrostly filled with immense piles of papers and documents from the bureaus in the lower part of the building, while the upper story proper, under the loft, contained probably the finest collec- tion of models in the world, which it is impossible to replace, a8 many of them date back to the earliest days of the Pat- ent Office, There was also on this floor large numbers of maps, &c. These all being in wopden cases, the fire spread rapidly from oye ta the other. The floors an the building are on brick arches, and consequently the lower part of the building was nat reached by the fire; but the wa- ter played havoe with the books and pa- pers below. Relics of General Washiug- ton and the original Declaration of Inde- pendence were saved. Many other articles were carried from the model room, The origin of the fire is unknown, It was probably occassioned by the early fall fires in the offices. Green & Osborne’s livery stable, close by, was burned. It is asserted posifively that this was the work of an jnecendiary. A half-dozen people are missing, it is supposed lost.

Mr. Alfred Johnston, it is conceded, stands at the head of the list in the extent of his orchards, the number and variety of his trees, and probably in the excellence of his fruit. He has tree hundred “magnum bonum” trees now dropping their beauti- ful and unsurpassed fruit, besides large numbers of the king” and “queen,” “pip- pins,” “rusty coats,” and other varieties beyond our naming. He is able to sup- ply a large demand and does principally supply our market, leaving a large quan- tity to be made into cider and vinegar and to be ied to stock, Mr, John C, Miller stands next to Mr. Johnston, and as is his wont, never brings to market an indifferent thing, whether it be fruit, mutton, beef, or other farm pro- uct; and as a consequence he always ebtains the highest prices. But there are evident signs of improvement amongst our farmers in reference to orchards, vine- Yards, and other interests of the farm Which must ere long till well on their prosperity. ~~ The a pores d of pork and other impro- ber food consumed is enormous and pro- duces its inevitable results in innumera- ble types of disease, especially those of € blood, exhibited in Pimples, Blotches, res, etc., allof which, however, yield Mnily and surely to Dr. Bull’s Blood ~ixture, —<<>-___ pj Becimens Sent Beek: Polk received y €Xpress yeste: some splendid spe- “mens of corn, miltet date? &c., from “rson county, to be laid up in the Agri- fultural Museum.

They found the spring and opened the bottle, when the stubborn truth presented itself:"They had no drinking vessel. “What will we do, Ed ?” “By gapny, I don’t know.” ““Can’t you go home and get a eup ?” “No, by jacks, they'll catch me.” “Well, what you going to do?” “T tell you, John, pour a little out in your hand and dip in the water—let’s try it.” ‘All right.” “It’s bully, ain’t it Ed?” Sov ea: “John, how would it do to drink some out of the bottle and then drink water, that would make lemonade.” “That’s so, let’s try it!” “You do it first.” “No, you, cause you are the biggest.” “Well.” They finished the bottle in that way, then lit their cheroots and started home.

Mason is a cap- tain in the French army. At thirteen years of age he was the bearer of dispatches from Napaleon’s Court,to this Govern- ment, and subsequently served on Gen. Hampton’s staff during the civil war.7 We can add something to this. George Mason, the young soldier referred to, served throughout the Confederate war as a pri- vate in a cavalry company, and was severely wounded in theankle. After the war he was employed as a clerk in the Tredegar Iron Works at Richmond. While there he wrote to the Emperor Napoleon, who had the highest regard for Judge Mason, and asked for an appoint- ment in the French army. No appoint- ment of officers in the line of the French army are made from civil life. The officers are graduates of the military academies, or are promoted from the ranks. This is the rule. The Emperor, with characteris- tic kindness, made an exception in Mr. Mason’s favor, and gave him a commis- sion as sous-licutenant in a line regiment on service ip Algeria. Lieut. Mason join- ed his regiment in 1866, served with dis tinguished valor in the’ Franco-Prussian war, was desperately wounded, was pro- moted, step by step, to the rank of Cap- tain, and decorated with the legion of The youthful Confederate has made a record of which his old comrades in Virginia may well be proud.

In its mechanical execution it is to be of the highest order. Its editorial management is to be of such a character as to merit the support and patronage of the people. In short it is designed to be in every sense, ® paper worthy of the great in- terests it will seek to promote, and it is earnestly commeuded to the support of the public, and especially farmers, me- ehanics, and manufacturers. By order of the Board, L. L. PoLk, Commissioner. A writer in the Syracyse Northern Christian Advocate is much disturbed by the efforts of the Roman Catholics to proselyte the freedmen in the South. He says: “In nearly every Sonthern city gigantic schemes are on foot to accom- plish this result. The Catholic schools are being established in the centre of large colored populations. In many cases tui- tion is offered free, apd in others they are hired.to come. The priests and nuns are of pictures, statuary furniture, rare laces | and jewels. Among the articles were busts | of the Governor and his wife by Powers. | | A New York gentleman purchased these | lat the sale, and after the war was over lina.” : orale Joseph A. Harris, late of the Raleigh city governingnt, and who was made to retire, being a defaulter for over $700, publishes a card in the News in which he says: “I propose to ventilate the city gov- ernment from March 1, 1876; I propose | to acknowledge my faults and misdoings ; I propose to tell the tinanee committee some things that they suppose is not known outside of their little private meet ings. I shall have to strike some dear friends pretty hard, but I am foreed to do it. I shall only state facts and vame wit- ness.” ee ee Deatu or Dr. Lona or Sacissury.— Dr. Alexander Long, the oldest male citi- zen of Salisbury, and one who was uni- versally beloved and respected, breathed his last at his home in that place Sunday night. Dr. Long was in his eighty-eighth year, and had several years ago retired from the practice of his profession, which he had followed with great success for sixty years. He had been for fifty-six years one of the elders of the First Pres- byterian church of Salisbury, and will be buried from that church to-day. All the places of business will be closed iu respect to his memory. He leaves a large pos- terity, children, grand-children and great- grand-children, who are of the best peo- ple of Rowan. ‘The memory of the just is bleased.”—Char. Observer.

The remedy to be so ra a eat be simple. All he took with Shim was powdered sulphur and a quill, and with these he cured eyery patient withoat an exception. He pat a teaspoonful of flour of brimstone into a-wine glass of water and stirred it with his finger instead of a spoon, as the sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water. When the sul- phur was well mixed he gave it as a gar- gle, and in ten minutes the patient was out of danger. Brimstone kills every species of fungus in man, beast and plant in a few minutes. Instead of spitting out the gargle, he recommended the swallow- ing of it. In extreme cases, in which he had been called just in the nick of time, when the fungus was too nearly closing the throat to allow the gurgling, he blew the salphur through a quill into the throat, and after the fungus hk tuhk to allow patient from diphtheria. If a patient cannot gargle, take a live coal, put it onashovel, and spinkle a spoonful or two of flour of brimstone at a time upon it; let the sufferer inhale it, holding the head over it, and the fungus will die. If plentifully used the whole room may be filled almost to suffoca- tion, and the patient can walk about in it, inhaling the fumes, with doors and win- dows closed. The mode of fumigating a room with sulphur has often cured most violent attacks of cold in the head, chest, ete., at any time, and is recammended iu cases of copsumption and asthma.” —_——— TELEGRAPHIC BRIEFS.

OT HONORS AT THE UNITED STATES CENTENNIAL World’s Exposition, 1876 MASON & HAMLIN GABINET ORGANS Unanimously assigned the “FIRST RANK IN THE SEVERAL REQUISITES” Of such Instruments ! The MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN co. have the honor to announce that the organs of their manufacture have been unanimously assigned “the FIRST RANK in the SEV- ERAL REQUISITES of instruments of the class” by the Judges at the CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION at Philadelphia, 1876, and are the ONLY INSTUMENTS OF THIS GEN- ERAL CLASS AWARDED THIS RANK. This is after the severest competition by the best makers, before one of the most competent juries ever assembled. They have also received the MEDAL, but, as ix well known, medals of equal merit have been awarded all articles deemed worthy o1 recognition; so that it will be easy for many makers to advertise that they have received “first medals.” The differences in competing articles, and their comparative excellence, ure recognized in the Reports of the Judges, from which the following is an extract: “THE MASON & HAMLIN ORGAN CO.’s exhibit of Reed Organ - moniums shows Instruments of the FIRST RANK IN THE SEVERAL RE- QUISITES OF INSTRUMENTS OF THE CLASS: viz.: Smoothness and equal distribution of tone, scope of expression, resonance andsinging qual ity freedom and quickness in action 0 keys and bellows, with thorough- ness of wor manship, combined with simplicity of action.” (Signed by all the Judges.) The Mason and -Ham- lin Organs are thus declared to rank first? not in one or two respects only, but in the SEV- EKAL REQUISITES of such instruments, and they are the ONLY ones assigned this rank. This triumph was not unexpected, for the Mason & Ilamlin Cabinet Organs have uniformly been awarded the highest honors in competitions in America, there having been scarcely six exceptions in hundreds of eompetitions. They were awarded highest honors and 7 FIRST MEDALS PHILADELPHIA, 1876, and have thas been awarded highest honors at Every World’s Exposition at which they have been exhibited; being the ONLY AMERICAN ORGANS which have ever obtained ANY AWARD Worllvexrenmce?

Now nothing can be more utterly unassuming than this same home. The house is one story and a half, the paint has seen fresher. days, and generally there is an air of absentee- ism ; besides, we are out of the village, and consequently removed from chance When the gate rattled on its well understood—I al- ways knew some friend was on his way or the marketmen were round on their daily calls ; but this step, on this morning, had a peculiarity which said tome, Tramp, before, between the low-lying branches of the avenue of Norway spruces, I saw the young man coming toward me. He was slight, graceful in his movements, rather well-dressed, and lifted his hat with alto- gether a gentlemanly air as he saw me. Everybody has a timid streak. Mine lay in the fear of tramps,—for, as I have said, our house is quite out of the v illage, and long French windows, shabbily fast- ened, offer ensy ingress at any hour of day or night, doors there are, too, every- where, with and without bolts, as it may happen. Very much at the mercy we are of every lawlessintruder. But this young wan, tramp though he undeniably was, had aclear, gray eye, which met mine fully as I looked up from my book, and a smile, with a kind of pathos that had al- most a hungry pleading as I waited for his request. He stopped at a short dis- tance from me and began nervously to break off small twigs from the tree by which he stood, neither of us speaking. At length I asked : “Do you wish anything? “Pm not used to begging, ma’am,” he broke ont, in a low, musical voice, “but I have had along walk, and Lam almost starved. If you would give me some breakfast, and let me work to pay for it afterwards, I should be very much oblig- ed to you.” Afterward! If he had only said before, had a hearty breakfast, andall the ghosts of political economy that haunted my brain would have been laid on the instant; but afterward—there it was, in the true, lazy, good-for-nothing tramp style. J pamper to idle begging! Not if I knew myself. “If a man will not work, neither shall he eat,” was a part of my Bible in which I rigidly believed. Isaid, turning the lcaves of my book a little impatiently : “You are too young and too healthy to bea beggar. Yowlook to me as if you were made for better things.” Not a word spoke he in answer ; he just turned on his heel, and was slowly leav- ing the yard when my heart—a miserable, weak heart, that is always at. war with my principles—gave a great tug, and I called after him : “Come back! You shall have your breakfast. I only wish you had proposed to earn it before you ate it.” He did not turn, and I called again, in a softer tone : “I should be sorry to turn even a dog away hungry.

But he didn’t. I found him intelligent, quite up in matters of daily public inter- est, and inclined to bring them ferward. Now and then I detected his eyes wander- ing toward the door through which he ex- pected his breakfast to be brought; but otherwise, no impatience until the well fill- ed salver in Bridget’s reluctant arms made its appearance. The salver was well fill- ed; Bridget could take a license as well as any cook, but she knew me well enough to know when it would be best not to venture, and acted accordingly.

On our way from Toledo to Grenada we pass through the province of La Muncha, which alone the genius of Cervantes could have made famous. It is a treeless coun- try, its soils impregnated with salt, with a few squalid villages, with a race of poor but industrious people, of whom Sancho Panza is a good specimen. At Menzevares we are in the centre and in the capitol of the province of La Mancha. Here we are within a few miles of the little iun, Venta | ¥ de Quesada, where Don Quijote waa knighted, and occasionally we pass one of those wind-mills or a flock of sheep which furnished an opportunity for the display of his martial prowess. The peasants of Spain have the most implicit belief in the existence of this re- nowned knight. He isa reality to them. His marvelous adventure, and those of the Cid, are the great fund of song and story at the village inns of Spaio. About fifty miles further en we reach the station of Baeza. Here there are mines of lead and copper worked, and worked in the same manner as they were under the Ro- mans two hundred yearsago.

At Menjibar we leave the railroad, which is very circuitous in its route to Grenada, for the diligence.

One postillion rides one of the leaders from eight in the morning till eleven o'clock at night,—eighty miles without a rest. It is said that these postillions, be- fore the days of railroads, rode from Mad- rid to Grenada, a journey of two hundred wiles, in two days and a night. We bad another attendant who seemed to be a ly way, inside the woodhouse door, and | conductor, and went the whole journey, Another, called the Mayoral, drove the heard a snicker (it’s the only word that} team, having reins only for the wheel will describe the sound) and I knew Brid- | horses. He would drive only from one station, where horses were changed, to another, and always came with and left his team, and had the entire charge of them in the stables and on the road. He carried with hima bag of stones, which he would throw with great skill at the leaders which his whip would not reach. The driver talked and shouted to the horses all the way, and at a certain sound at the foot of a hill they would break into arun. About every eight miles, the dri- ver, with his horses, would leave, anda new driver and a fresh team would take their places. The postillion carried a horn slung around his neck, with which he heralded our approach to every vil- lage. Leaving Menjibar, we wind our way for a short distance along the banks of Gandalquiver, which we soon cross on an iron bridge, and make our way up out of the valley ou to the high, treeless plains, which are bare and muddy in winter and hot and parched in summer. THE SPANISH POLICE. For fifteen miles we see not a tree, not a fence, not a field of grass, scarcely a house or a person, except the guards who patrol the roads. These guards civiles ate stationed on most of the travelled routes of Spain, for protection against ban- ditti. They are sometimes mounted and always well armed, dressed in military uniform, with a cocked hat. They are found at every railway station, in every village, and at regular distances upon all the roads. They are fine-leoking men of good character. _We found them miles away from any dwelling, two together, patrolling the roads over which we pass- ed, always armed with a musket.

Ourfellow-travellers here provided themselves for the day—bread, sausages seasoned with garlic and fried in garlic. During a shower we were obliged to ride in the coupe, shut up with two of them. Every few minutes they would partake of the sausage and politely offer me some. After indulging in this food for some time they became thoroughly impregnated with odor. They breathed garlic from within ; their pockets emitted garlic from without. Garlic was every- where. The air was filled with it; and such garlic who can describe? Shut up in close coupe with these two bodies, the odor was terrific, and sea sickness is a comfort to what I felt. 1 was ‘obliged to open the window, put my head out and pretend to look at the beautiful scenery. At Jena weare about fifty miles frem Grenada. , Our road lies through winding valleys, along which mountain torrents rush in wiuter and the beds of which are often used as roads in summer.

We are now As we emerged from this mountain val- ley and descend into the Vega, a new world bursts upon us. The flow of the waters, diverted from the mountain streams for irrigation, is everywhere heard like music. You exchange sterility for verdure of living green ; the orange, lem- on and fig-trees everwhere abound, filled with bloom or fruit; the air is fragrant with flowers ; beautiful villas setting back from tlie road, surrounded by gardens, be- gin to appear. Through this wealth of living verdure, the road, broad and lined with trees, makes its way up to Grenada, like the approach to the city of a greatking. The night is upon us before we reach the gates of the city. Two old Moorish towers frown upon us from above the gates as we We wind our way through the narrow and dimly-lighted streets, until we reach the eastern side of thecity, and ascend through a grand avenue of trees to the height of the Alhambra to the Hotel Washington Irving, which is just without the walls of the ancient fortress. enter through the massive walls. BLUNT BUT TRUE. There is said to be a young man in the Missouri peuitentiary whose parents at their death, left him a fortune of $50,000. There is where his parents made a fatal mistake. If they had taken the precau- tion to invest that sum in a small dog, and shot him, and then had simply left the young man a jackplane or a wood saw with printed instructions bow to use it, the chances are that, instead of being in the penitentiary, he would to-day have been gradually but surely work- ing his way up to handsome competency, honorable old age. But ever since the days of Adam and Eve, parents have made it a point to toil and struggle all their lives in order to realize a sufficient sum of money to purchase, when they are dead and gone, their sons each a first class through ticket to the devil, and it is not much to be wondered at that so many of their sons, reared in vice and idleness, as too many of them often are, have no high- er ambition than to invest their inheri- tance in just that sort of transportation. oe “GONE.” How significant this solitary word upon a tombstone! Like a bird of passage, the little stranger had lighted upon this planet, had tarried for a brief day, and then had flown forever. And this is with respect to us all. Soon shall we all be gone, and the places that have known us will know us no more forever. And where shall we be? Whither shal! we have fled? We shall still exist. We shall continue in being somewhere. And where? Whether or not in some blest abode will depend on our improvement of the passing hour. “Behold, now is the accepted time: behold now is the day of salvation !” H. 8. Mt. Gilead, Montgomery county, gave $62.50 to the Orphan Asylum. Masic has different effects upon differ- ent men, and those effects depend mach upon the impression received and the habits formed in’ ‘ehildbood. A harmony which would entrance a ‘cultivated ‘ear would leave a ‘ivage unmoved. It is not, then, surprising that music acts vari- ously upon the different kinds of animals. The sound of instruments impresses them and often very keenly. ‘Wind .instra- ments, for example, have a singularly ex- citing effect on dogs. To these they’ sel- dom become accustomed; the first sound which strikes them call forth frightful howls. Herdsmen aad shepherds, in some countries, calls their flocks with a ‘long: from it every day the same air, it draws from him each time cries of distress. There is, however, an instance of a dog sufficently fond of harmony to allow his master to give him a certain degree of musical education. This animal belong- ed to a German composer of a name very few tongues can proneunce, but I will venture to write it. It was Schneitzhoeffer. Well! the man of this astonishing name succeeded in teaching resual la toa dog. The animal retained the lesson, and al- ways after, at the command of his master, would raise correctly the note. The horse, unlike the dog, takes pleas- ure in music; at the sound of it he raises his ear; he is animated by a martial air; at a slow movement he slackens his pace. In the days when regiments of cavalry had their own bands of music, the per- formers, when upon the march, were seen playing quietly their parts, giving little heed to the animals they rode, who ad- vanced in perfect order, and without mak- ing the least mistake. The regiment horse learned to under- stand perfectly the different calls of the trumpet. Many have heard the anecdote of the countryman who had bought ai old horse of a retired soldier. One morn- ; ing he entered a town as o regiment of cavalry was passing. Suddenly the trum- | pets sounded, when the horse instantly | started, joined the troops, placed himself in the ranks, and followed, in spite of the , cries and efforts of its owner. The ass, and the ox experience equal pleasure in listening to melody. The ox advances , his head as a sign of satisfaction; the ass | raises his ears and shows unmistakable | evidence of enjoyment. Mice are also, among the quadruped lovers of music. The birds are melomaniacs; artists them- selves, it is not strange that they love; music. It is easy to teach tunes to some of ; them. By hearing them played on a bird- organ, they remember and-repeat them. | All birds, however, do not have that taste. Among those that are distressed by music may be reckoned hens. The sound of a violin causes them to fly away with cries of fear. If shut up in a place where mu- sic is made, their demonstrations of terror are most comical and curious. Reptiles and insects appreciate the charms of music. If one whistles before a lizard that is running away, it suddenly stops, and, if the air is agreeble, it listens with evident pleasure. When an Ameri- can Indian has the ability to whistle pleas- antly, he can approach the iguana and | capture this gigantic lizard, whose flesh | is said to be good for food. Lie all other lizards, the iguana listens to music with such attention that he forgets to care for his own safety and allows himself to be taken. The charmers of serpents, by means of certain melodies, slow and cap- tivating, can control perfectly these ter- rible creatures. They call them, direct | their movements, allow them to surround their limbs with their powerful coils, without the least danger; the serpent is completely subjugated. Who would believe that music could | affect the spider? Nothing, however, is | more true. A captain of a regiment had displeased the Minister of Louis XIV, and was imprisoned in the Bastile. He obtained permission to take with him his lute, which he played with much skill. After a few days, the prisoner was aston- ished to see mice come out from their holes and spiders descend from their webs, and surround him to listen to him. His surprise was so great the first time that he stopped playing, when his singular au- dienee retired. When he began again, spiders and mice returned. They at last became so numerous, that be was con- vinced they informed their friends in the neighborhood, and, in order to indulge in his diversion, he was obliged to have a eat in his prison. Still some mice, too music-mad, would not be stopped by that, and became victims of their love for lyric art, This fact is not a solitary one. Leclere, a celebrated violinist of the time of Louis XIV, who was assassinated in the street by a young man, his rival, passed several months in prison, for what reason is un- known. A warrant of arrest was suf- ficient in those days to send a man to the Bastile, where he was sometimes forgot- ten for years. Leclere had ‘permission to take with him to prison his violin. One day, as he was playing the sonata in C. minor of Carelli, he observed a “spider which had come out of its biding place and rested motionless on the edge of its web: The sonata finished, it returned to | have just spoken, had not only a cat, but ‘his chains, lashed himself with his tail, | lin, and still more easily the double bass.

He is said to have stated that the Supreme Govern- ment is determined to avert death by famine so far as the resources of the whole Empire would enable it to do so. The importation of grain will be left to private trade, but the Government will reinforce the railways and arrange for other means of transportation. It will give subsistence and relief wages graduated according to the prevailing prices, aud it hopes to con- struct great and permanent works by means of relief labor. It will buy grain locally and give gratuitous support in various forms to the helpless poor ; but it deprecates appeals to private charity as having a tendency to interfere with pub- lic organization and to increase the panic. The wisdom of this action on the part of the Viceroy has been called in question, but both the home and the Indian gov- ernment naturally feel a deep responsi- bility toward this conquered province. —$—<—<—< ee President Clark, of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, has been spending a year in Japan, superintending the estab- lishment of a Government institution in that country similar to the one over which he presides. “In a recent address at Am- herst he made au interesting statement of his impressions of the people. Henev- er saw a quarrel in Japan, and never saw nor heard of a Japanese student in Ameri- ca or Japan accused of immorality. He selected from a thousand young men the students for the college there, and never knew one of them that would willingly offend his teachers.

After Nee Sima had started hig school with the consent of the Govern- ment, complaint was made that he was teaching the Bible, and the ministers of the Government told him he must stop; he might have a theological school, but he must not teach the Bible iv the school. So Nee Sima bought a house across the street, and the students go to his private house to study the Bible and study the science at the school building, their th logical school going on just the &... as before. also a globe containing a little gold fish. This globe was one day accidentally plac- ‘ed upon the piano. My friend, having ' seated himself to play, observed that the fish had rested motionless from his first , chords, aud it remained thus to the end of the piece, after which it began to swim ' as before, to stop again when the sounds were renewed. It cannot, however, be proved that the fish was affected by the harmony. Perhaps the vibration of the instrument may have frightened it and rendered it motionless. Among the great flesh-eaters, the lion, bear and wolf particularly seem to fear music. Ina travelling menagerie was a huge lion.

His roaring was terrible. But as soon as the music ceased he became almost immediately calm. As to the wolf, the sound of the hunt- er’s horn is to him singularly disagreea- ble.

F. E. Shober, flanked on his right by John Sloan, Esq., gnd on his left by Wm. R. Fraley, Esq., Chairman. The Grand Jury jras then drawn and sworn. After which the Chairman recited the circumstances which rendered an Inferior Court yeces- sary, and the law which created jt and Aefined its powers. Ho enymerated some of the subjects of its jurisdiction, and prged Jurymen to a faithful, fearless and impartia] performance of their duty as officers of the State. This address, very jike a judge’s charge, was attended to with marked attention, not only by mem- bers of the Grand Jury but also by citi- zens in attendance. An officsr was sworn to take charge of the Grand Jury and they were conducted to their room. A petit jury was then empannelled, and the Court was ready for business. Solic- itor, Jas, E, Kerr, came forward with a bateh of Indictments, had his witnggses ealled and sworn and sent them before Grand Jury; and thus the Inferjor Court, finely officered wjth Kerr for Solicitor, J. M. Worah for Clerk, and Waggoner for Sheriff, moves off with ail the smoothness and regularity of a well wory machine. It is not doubted that this Court will prove of great benefit to the County, es- pecially as respects civil cases on the slocket of the Superior Conrt, which, owing to the pressure of smaJ! criminal suits have hung for ypars withgut being reached, a Gorne TO RaALEIGH.—Phe Southern Home announces that Capt. R. A. Shot- well, formerly associate editor of that pa- per unger Gen. Hill's management, ha aceepted the position of managing editor of the Farmer and Meghanio, a journal which is to be issued in Raleigh about the middie of the month, under the auspices of the department of agriculture of this State, During his residence among us, he has wade mapy warm friends in this city and throughout the county, who will re- gret to-hear of his determination to locate elsewhere. We wish him the most abun- fant success in his new undertaking, and congratulate the editorial fraternity of Raleigh on srch an acqnisition to the press of that city.—Charlotte Observer. We have no doubt Captain Shotwell will prove himself fully competent to the new task assigned him. But is not this State enterprise 8 new thing in its way? We do noi venember any other State whose agricultural department has found it necessary to establise a journal to pro- mote ity success. ‘Ehat, ef course, is no reason why North Carolina should not have sugh a journal if it is believed it will promote the cause of agriculture, as we doubt not it will. And yet if it shall have the effect of crippling private enterprises deyoted to the same cause, we cannot per- geiye fhat there will be anything gained fo the State by the new idea. The Caro- lina Farmer at Wilmington, and Enniss’ North Caroling Farmer at Raleigh, are first-rate journals, at prices far below pheir real value ; gnd yet experience has shown that {f is extremely diffienlt to make sych publications pay the cost of pditing and printing. If the journalistic acheme of the State agricultiral depart. ment shall not damage these its advent will no doubt do good, and no one will hail it with more satisfaction than we. —_—_———— WILMBSBARRG, Pa., Oct, 1,—There was f generh] resumption of operations this ring at the mines of the Lehigh and Wilkesbrre Company, hampered by overcaptiousneas ; by the = 2 syne aa a ao smmend to ‘the stiention of Sur marks from the Pee Dee Herald : upon his months which have passed of his execu~ tive term. That ae i. lous scrutiny of his acts, a8 a ae eyes of defeated politi- | cal partizans, should assajl and pervert whatever he might do, was uot unexpect- ed. But that some of his own political honsehold and faith should so readily join in the cry and give their aid in attemps to wrong and injure him is surprising and mortifying. ‘Phere must, surely, be some prime mo- tive—some controlling influence at the pottom of this, which time and cireum- stance may yet develop. We claim to know something of the history of the State; to know it some- what thoroughly for at least twenty-five years past ; and we do not hesitate to say ‘that during that time—and most likely for a much longer time—no Governor of our State has had a more difficult task te per- form than has had Gov. Vance, After the fiercest and mogé exciting con- test in the political apnals of North Caro- lina, he came intg office; the rebound from the thraldom of radicalism being so great that even the cool and calm results which dispassionate and thinking men ex- pected seem small and disappointing; while the public mind seems to have looked ed more than is in the power of mere man to perform. Hence, captious grumbling and groundless fault finding. And in this connection it may not be amiss to say that owing to the poverty of our peo- ple and to the many doleful and dreary days which had passed ; during the carni- val of corruption and frand which had marked radical supremacy in our state; office-seeking, comparatively theretofore unknown amougst our people, becanse so common and general that many hungry ones were in the distribution of the rath- er limited patronage which pertains to the Exeentive ; of necessity, turned away disappointed. True, according to their respective representations and _ belief, each and every one had done more for the success of our ticket than ‘any other man” and it is easy to see that all consid- er themselves personally slighted who did not receive the appointments for which they asked. And whether an applicant for the position of brakesman on a rail- road ; guard for the penitentiary or fora directorship in any of the State institu- tions, the wrath of the disappointed one it seems must be vented upon the Gov- ernoy’s head. They the abuse of the pardoning power is charged upon him. There are, if we mistake not, bear 2,000 convicts in the penitentiary, the county jails and work- houses ; of these Gov. Vance has pardon- ed or commuted not exceeding forty. [Gov. Brogden pardoned about that many during the last month of his administra- tion.] Of the rgagons prompting the Governor to this exercise of clemency the people can, as yet, know bat little; and when his reasons are submitted to the public, through the Legislature, it will be quite time enough to censure and blame him, if they are pot ample and satisfactory. In- deed we are not snre if the evil, if evil it be, does not toa great extent rest with the people themselves. The getting up of & numerously signed petition for anything is a matter of too easy accomplishment. Men have signed petitions, as we have reason to know, for the pardon of con- victs ; and then have said that they did so from importunity ; and that the Gov- ernor ought to pay no attention to them ; that is that he ought to haye tbe virtue which they confess they have not. Gov- ernor Vance we are gjad tp know and say, is not insensible to the voice of humanity or of the people ; he cannot know the mo- tives and character of each and every one who approaches him; he must in such cases be, to a great extent governed by the appeals and statements made to him. One Republican paper, the Raleigh Reg- ister, we are pleased to see, has the {nde- pendence and honesty to do him justice in this respect ; but still the querulous and silly notes of croaking sognd. Even n the matter of freight tariffs, on rail- roads, with which he has about as much | the planets, he is blamed and censured by those who, from personal pique or selfish- ness of who, in the interest of those who ima- gine it wquld he good for them to injure Gov- ernor Vance and destroy the esteem and honor in which the people of North Caro- lina hold him, True, none of the complaints assail his integrity or patrietism ; but they, from their injustice and frequency, must be disheartening to a public officer who is so earnestly trying to do right as we know he is. There isa captiousness abont it which we condemn and deplore ; instead of that forebearance towards our chief magistrate which our people should ex- hibit while upholding and sustuiniug him and strengthening his haud in all good worka, That the administration of affairs under Governor Vance’s rule haa been thus far snecesaful—aye, brilliant and honorable no man can deny. The long neglected agricultural interests, popular education, internal improvements, in truth all the great interests of the State have received a touch of vigor; have been “blessed with an awakening,” and enlivened with a hope such as has not heen felt in many years, ifever. Many good results are be- fore us already, and the promise of the future is bright indeed. “Give the old man achance.” Let not his hands be D HIB AD- | clamor of disgppoiated Maa ie ee ce tee news- ~*~ ai t kage + tom rn eh a Fe hae " nt sa ne > con ea pte state.

(From the Raleigh News.) The western mail brings interesting ac- counts from Polk Superior Court. The Pall term of this Court was held last week, ‘His Honor, Judge Kerr, pare ee Solieitor Montgomery prosecuting State. Oue agy duripg the week, the ease of the State vs Lynch Young was called. This case with Judge Schenck's opinion, was published jn the News sev- eral months ago. _ Qur readers will re- member that Young was jndicted by the grand jury of Polk coynty for an assault alleged to have been committed on a citi- zen of that county, while he (Young) was acting as a special deputy marshal. Judge Schenck at the last term of the gourt had refused to permit the defendavt, Young, to transfer his case to the Federal Court. Subsequent to this refusal, the Supreme Court of the State in the case of the State vs. Hoskins, reversed the ruling of His Honor, deciding that writs of certiorari issued from the Federal Courts must be obeyed by the civil courts of this State. When this case was called on the morn- ing of the 19th inst., a rare colloquy en- sued between His Honor Judge Kerr, and Mr. J. M. Justice, attorney for the defend- ant. A correspondent of the Hendergun- ville Courier gives it as follows : Mr. Justice—‘“ May it please your Hon- or, this defendant is indicted for an of- fence committed whilst he was one of a posse of revenue officials. I desire to have his cause transferred from thie court to”— Judge Kerr—the rugged lines in his face hardening, and his lips closing in sullen and obstinate firmness—aside, Ugh!” “The Federal Court,” Mr. Justice con- tinued: ‘Your Honor is aware that Judge Schenck has been overruled in”— Judge Kerr—with a sneer of contempt on his face—‘‘ Yes, and I hold with Judge Schenck, his decision was right, the Su- preme Court to the contrary !” Mr. Justice—blandly continuing—“Bat, if your Honor please, Judge Schenck has been overruled and the decision must be accepted as law, and I presume your Honor will so aecept it.” Judge Kerr—indignantly, and with great emphasis and feeling—“No sir! 1 shall not accept it! I regard the opinion in the case of Hoskins a most extraordi- nary one! I do not believe that the peo- ple of North Carolina understand that decision. It means that a band of despe- radoes, under the guise of revenue officers, can go to the house of ene of the most reputable citizens of Polk county, and with profane and indecent language, de- mand the liberty of searching his house, and outraging the feelings, if not the per- sons, of his wifeand daughters. It means that our people can be insulted and out- raged by these revenue officials, and the civil courts are powerless to punish the offenders. ‘‘No, sir, I do not recognize it as the law! I shall not obey the write of certiorari! If the Federal Courts are dis- osed tu take this prisoner from this court, et them attempt it! I know of no power by which it can be done! I shall not re- gard the decision of the Supreme Court as law! Itis not law! If our people are to be outraged and have no protection from these ruflianly assaults of revenue officers, the sooner it is known the better it will be! “Why, sir, in Hoskins’ case, the testi- mony was that the revenue officer Hus- kins tied with a rope the arms of a poor, defenceless woman, and yet instead of punishing the brute, I am reliably inform- ed that the Government paid Mr. Ball, the attorney for the defendant, a fee of $500 for his defence. No, sir!” (with in- creased yehemence and feeling) “the prisoner must be tried in this court! The cause shall pot be removed! I shall not regard the writ! Neither do I reeog- nize the decision of the Supreme Court !” This langaage, spoken as it was with the utmost emphasis, created a profound sensation in. the crowded court room. Au affidavit was then filed by Mr. Justice, asking for a change of venue. The case was removed to Rutherford, and in de- oe bail the defendant was committed to jail. n the following day, Judge Kerr, re- todo as he has with the movements of bscinded . this diesision, and ordered the elerk to certify the case to the Federal Courts ; saying that he did not desire to “provoke a conflict with the Federal Courts.” Now, was there method in this madness, and if so where did it show itself! Is it fitting in a Judge to lose his balance one day and regain it next! Is it fitting to flare up and utter great swelling words one day and take them back the next! Was that the style of the model judges of North Carolina in the better days! We like Judge Kerr's earnest way asa man, but a Judge should be well poised, cool, deliberate and firm. Judge Kerr was not when be produced this scene in Court. The question of jurisdiction in these cases it was said would be tested by the Governor in the highest Courts of the United States, and we suppose steps have been taken to that end. There is there- fore nothing better than to wait the issue. If the Governor has put his hand to the work he is not likely to withdraw it without accomplishfug the end if it can be reached. In the mean time, those Judges who seek to win popular applause by seeming to be more righteous and wiser than their fel- jows on the bench, commit an error which may ultimately react te their damage. - -—~ Avevera, Ga., Oct. 1.—It is reported that four deaths from yellow fever occur- red at Port Royal yesterday, and thata namber of citizens have left the place. heavy losses. It is said that he the Russians on the Lovatz road and re- covered several positions. ‘This seéms | agree with the’ report published in Con- stantinople newspapers, yesterday, that Osman Pasha had defeated the Rouman- ians before Plevna, bat there is no more reagon to believe éne than the other.” | The Standard’s details resemble the fight of Sept. 11th and 12th, remarkably. As the Imperial Guard, numbering 56,- 000, is said to be due before Plevna by the 5th inst., it is highly improbable that the Russians have made a general assault without them. - — . The Standards correspondent with the the day he retook, the redoubts in the Loftcha road, he lost. 3,900 men. There are now, September 23rd, only 1,900 wounded at Plevna.” A Standard Bucharest special says Gen. Todebenzo’s plan of the situation at Plev- na has been laid before Grand Duke Nicholas. It is understood to declare that a siege of operations on a most ex- tended scale is requisite for the capture of the place. The Czarewitch yisited Gorny Studin Saturday, to relinquish commaid of the Imperial Guard. The second Turkish convoy for Plévna bas returned to Orkani, the- Roumanian eavalry having captured eight wagons of] grain. Grand Duke Nicholas has the liver cow plaint. The first Turkish convoy which entered Plevna consisted of two hundred wagons ; the number of wagons in the second con- voy is not reported. The correspondent says of the Russians before Plevna: “They seem completely at sea. They have no plan, no idea, no head. They are waiting for reinforcements which are arriving slowly, and which, when all are here, will hardly more than cover their losses by battle and sickness during the last two mouths. I think histor? offers no such example of a splendid army in such an utterly helpless condition. Sulie- man Pasha is fortifying at Schipka pass, apparently with the intention of wintering there.” Paris, October 1.—The Russian tele- graphic agency prints a Bucharest dis- patch which deelares mediation impossi- ble. A solation of the questions between Russia and Turkey must be sought for on the battle field. Diplomacy may inter- vene later. The same dispatch says Gen. Todleben succeeds Gen. Zotoff as chief-of- staff to the Prince of Roumania, befoie Pievna. = 4. RAILROAD STRIKE, The Employes Stop Work and Kill One Man— They are Still Turbulent. CuicaGo, October 1.—There has been a strike on the Pacific Central Narrow Guage Railroad at the end of the line near Cireleville for three days past, because ot not being paid their wages early Saturday morning. A party of 20 citizens left this city on a special train for the scene of the disturbance, and at Holton was joined by sheriff Williams, of Jackson county aud a posse of fifteen men from Leavenworth, made a part of the sheriff's posse, and the train proceeded to the end of the line be- yond Circleville. Here a large body of strikers were congregated, many on horse- back, and headed by Hartman. ‘The party was greeted with all kinds of abusive epithets. Hartman especially was very offensive in language and demonstrative in action. Capt. Toagh, formerly United States Marshal for the Western District of Kansas, who had been selected as lead - er of the posse commanded. Hartman’s halt was answered by a pistol shot, and the posse was ordered to fire over his head which was dove, and Hartman replied with two shots from his revolver. The posse then, under directions, fired upon Hartman. He died the same evening and the train returned to Circleville, where it was met by a great crowd of strikers. A warrant was sworn out against Capt. Tough, who was arrested, but was re- leased on bis own reconizance. At Holton the train was confronted by another body of strikers who took posses- sion of the switch and declared that they would not let the train pass unless the posse surrendered Capt. Tough to them. This was not done, and the train backed out, and subsequently the posse left the train and marched into Holton and took up quarters in the hotel, which was soon surrounded by armed strikers, who find- ing that the posse was well prepared, did not attack the house. Capt. Tough was again arrested and released on $10,000 bail. ——_ao-—___- Cassius M. Clay Kills a Desperate Negro. CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.—Hon. Cassius M.

W. W. Cole’s and circus and manageri Octeber. The Vicksburg Herald has this to say of it: W. W. COLE’S CIRCUS AND MANAGERIE. One of the Best on the Road, Superior in Every Department. Our citizens anticipated much in W. W. Cole’s great New York and New Orleans Menagerie and Equestrian Exposition, and were not disappointed. Although expectations were raised high, we never knew of a tent sbow giving such universal satisfac- tion and admirtion. The day was osgala occasion for many, for from the time of the street procession to the close of the night performance, the streets were full of people. The parade in the morning, al- though very much better than the usual street exhi- bition, was only a faint representauion of what was to be seen in the interior. The collection of animals was both large and vari- ed. Menagertes are becoming 80 common now that we fall to appreciate the many rare animals which a good show like Cole’s has in its cages. The species on exhibition are not often brought within the bounds of an tron cage and therefore were great curiosities to the beholders. The ring performance unquestionably was the best that has been seen in Evansville foralong Ume. There were very many features, introducing the skill of man and beast. The greates attraction was the beautitul artiste, whose actions on the rings sus- pended from the center pole were thrilling in their | daring. She swung through the air with remarkabie ease, suspended by her head, at other times by her shapely limbs. To these accomplishments, she add- ed a loveliness of face and form, and was a brilliant feature of the performance. We cannot enumerate, for there were splendid bareback riders, who dared to span five and six horses in their race about the ring ; lofty tumblers who made fying leaps, and the acrobats who were finished and new tn their exhibi- tlon. There were begides these a nuynber of trained animals which showed wonderful sagacity in their work. Taken altogether, Cole’s circus gave unbounded satisfaction, and of course had the canvis filled each tion 1s orderly, and the attendants are obliging to even the fastidious inquirers who always go to cir- cuses. ee ape AN ANSWERED PRAYER.

A tragedy enacted at Zanésville, Olrio, yesterday, creates intense excitement in that place, the death of man and wife, one seaedennd by the other, and the suicide of the murderer or marde being the undwork of the *. The particn- are as follows: Abner James was an undertaker iu Zanesville, his office being on Ninth street. He and his wife did not live happily together, although they had been married but fourteen montha. Re- cently business troubles have added to the unhappiness of the couple and a sep- aration was looked for. Yesterday their disagreements reached « climax and Mrs. James left home, vowing she would never live with James again. She started for the residence of her mother, Mrs. Lacock, a widow, about eight miles from the city, and was followed by her husband. They left the city ther in the same train on the CV. and M. V.R.R. They got off at Delcarbe and started to walk together to Mrs. Lacock’s. When last seen alive they were walking together and apparent- ly in an excited condition. They were walking up the lane leading from the public road toward the house, but they never reached there. This morning about 8 o’clock the bodies of both were found lying in a fence corner, about 300 yards from the house. The husband had a bal- let hole in his breast, and the wife one in the temple and another in the region of the heart. They were tightly locked in each other’s arms, and in the left hand of the wife, held as in a vice, was a revolver, with which it is supposed the dreadful deed was done. How they came to their death is, in a measure, a mystery, as no one saw the fearful tragedy enacted. The supposition is, however, that the wife first shot the husband, and then put the two bullets into her own body before death came. There was no indication of any struggle, and it is supposed that it was a plan mutually agreed upon to put a final quietus upon all their earthly sorrows.

DAVIS KILLED, NOAH RICE WOUNDED. (Asheville Citizen.) A fatal shooting affray occurred on Bull Creek, Madison county, on last Saturday, resulting in the death of W. Y. Davis and the serious wounding of N. H. Rice. The particulars are as follows: Davis has long been a fugitive from justice for the murder of Ben Inman, for which he had been tried at the Spring term of the Su- perior Court at Marshall and convicted. He was then taken to Waynesville jail for safe keeping, but broke jail and re- turned to Madison and for some time past has been prowling around his former home. A reward having been offered for his ap- prehension, Rice, hearing of his where- abouts, determined to arrest him. His friends tried to pursuade him not to at- tempt to capture Davis by himself, but he being a resolute man declined all offers of assistance, saying that he “could arrest him easily by himself.” Hearing that Davis would meet one of his friends at a certain point, he came upon him unawar- es, and commanded him to surrender, which Davis deelined to do and ran. Rice pursued, firing at him as_ he ran, hitting him “twice. He then ran and caught Davis, when the latter shot him, the ball hitting him under the shoulder and giving a dangerous wound. The doctors say that with proper treatment he may recov- er. The coroner summoned a jury and held an inquest over the body of Davis. a Boy's Successor.—Col. David H.

Oh! whem the heart is freshly bleeding, How longs it for the time to be, } When, through the mists of years receding, Its woes but live in reverie! And it can dwell on moonlight glimmer, On evening shade and loneliness ; And, while the aky grows dim and dimmer, Feel.no untold and strange distress— 7 a deep impulse given By lonely hour and darkened room, To solemn thoughts that gore to heaven, k lj orld to come.

Softly the father stooped to lay His rough hand down ina loving way, When dream or whisper made her stir, And huskily he sai, ‘Not her! We stopped beside the trundle bed, And oue long ray of light was shed Athwart the boyish faces there, In sleep so beautiful and fair. I saw on James’ rough, red cheek A tear undried.

The old man had five things about which he loved to poast—his schooner, Betsy Jenkins, and his four sons. The four sons were all that their father represented them to be, and no one ever doubted his word when he said that their like was not to be found for fifty miles around. The oldest was twenty-two, while the yoangest had reached his six- teont year “and pames M Seth; Andrew, John and Samnel. One morninga stranger called apon Jed- ediab to engage him to take to Havana some iron machinery belonging toa steam engine for sugar plantations. The terms were soon agreed upon, and the old man and his sons immediately set about pat- ting the machinery on board. That ac- complished, they set sail for Havana with a fair wind, and for several days proceeded on their journey without an adventure of any kind. One morning, however, @ vessel was descried off the larbcard quarter, which, with some hesi- tation, the old man pronounced to be a pirate. There was not mach time allow- ed them for doubting, for the vessel soon saluted them with not a very agreeable whizzing of an eighteen poand shot under their stern. “That means for us to heave to,” re- marked the old man. “Then I guess we had better do it, hadn’t we ?” said Seth. “Of course.” Accordingly the Betsy Jenkins was brought up inte the wind and her main boom hauled over the windward. “Now, boys,” said the old man, as soon as the schooner came to a stand, ‘all we ean do is to be as cool as possible, and trust to God. There is no way that Ican see now, but perhaps if we are civil, they will take such stuff as they want and then letusgo. Atany rate there is no use erying about it, for it can't be helped. Now get your pistols and see that they are surely loaded, and have your knives ready, but be sure to hide them, so that the pirates shall sec no signs of resis- tancce.” In‘a few moments all the arms that the schooner afforded, with the exception of one or two old muskets, were secured about the persons of our Down Easters, and they quietly awaited the coming of the schooner. “One word more, boys,” said the old man, just as the pirate came round under her stern. “Now watch every motion I make, and be ready to jump the moment I speak.” As Captain Spinnet ceased speaking the pirate luffed up under the fisherman’s lee-quarter, and in a moment more the latter’s deck was_graced by the presence of a dozen as savage-looking mortals as syes ever looked upon. “Are you captain of this vessel ?” asked the leader of the boarders as he approach- ed the old man. “Yes, sir.” “What is your cargo 1” “Machinery for steam engines.” “Nothing else ?” asked the pirate, with & searching look. At this moment Captain Spinnet’s eye caught what looked like a sail off to the south’'rd and east’rd, but not a sign be- trayed the discovery, and while a brilliant idea shot through his mind, he hesitating- ly replied :. “Well, there is a little something else.” | liberate aim along the barrel of a heavy rifle, and the bloody villian was in the act | ees pling, and then you jump—then we'll walk into them ‘three chaps aboard the. clipper. Now for it. No sooner were the last words out of the old man’s mouth than his sons did exaet- ly as they were directed. The fore and maiu halyards were cut, and the two grapplings cast off at the same instant, aud as the heavy gaffs came rattling down our heroes leaped ou board the pirate, The moment the clipper felt at liberty her head swung off, and before the astou- ished buccaneers could gain the deck of the fisherman their own vessel was nearly half a cable’s length to the leeward, sweep- ing gracefully away before the wind while the three men who had been left in charge were easily secured. ‘Hallo, there!” shouted Captain Spin- net, as the luckless pirates crewded them ‘ere silver just let us know, will you?” Half a dozen pistol shots was all the anawer the old man got, but they did no harm ; and crowding on all sail, he made for the vessel he had. discovered, which lay dead to the leeward of him, and whieh he now made oat to bea large ship. .The clipper cut through the water like a dol- phin, and in a short space of time Spiunet laffed up ander the ships stern, and ex- plained all that had happened. The ship proved to be an East ludianman, bound for Charleston, having thirty men on board, a portion of whom jumped on board the clipper and offered their services in help- ing to take the pirates. Before dark Captain Spinnet was once more within hailing distance of bis own vessel, and raising a trumpet to his mouth, he shouted— “Schooner, ahoy! Will you quietly surrender vourselves prisoners if we come on board %” “Come and try it!” returned the pirate captain, as he brandished his cutlass above his head in a very threatening man- ner, which seemed to indicate that he would fight till the last. But this was hislast moment, for Seth was crouched below the bulwarks, taking de- me.” : : of turning to his men when the sharp crack of Seth Spinnet’s weapon rang his death captain fell back in the arms of his mate with a bullet through his heart. “Now,” said the old man, as he levelled the long pivot gun and seized a lighted match, ‘‘I’ll give you just five minutes to blow every one of you into the other world.” The death of their captain brought the pirates to their senses, and they threw down their weapons. In two daya from that time Captain Spinnet delivered his cargo safely in Havana, gave the pirates into the hands of the civil authorities, and delivered the clipper up to the government, in return for which he received a sum of money sufficient for independence for the remain- der of his life, as well as a very handsome medal from the Governor. —___~a——_—_—_—_—— THE NOBLE REVENGE.

Harry George was manager of the concern, and bad an idea that poetry (original poetry) was the main thing to catch the Sunday readers. In this we all concurred, and somebody suggested that the poems should be illus- trated. I agreed to furnish the engrav- ings, and the next day called on Alex. Badlam, whom I knew had the facilities, and he loaned me about a busbel of old wood-cuts which had seen service in Sac- ramento on some illustrated newspaper venture of his own yearsago. The draw- ings were by Nahbl, and the engraving very good, When the basket was brought in, Mr. George aut down and began to paw over the blocks, distributing them among the staff, remarking as he handed O’Connell a square foot ef boxwood, “Here Dan, is a woman watching for a ship at sea, Dish up half a column of poetry on it, entitled ‘Waiting.’” Dan took the block and surveyed it carefully as he observed: “It strikes me this is meant for a wasbertoman, and she’s waiting to see if the little nigger on the wharf is going ‘to make a raid on the clothes basket.” peal, and the next moment the pirate | ' ' decide in, and if you dcu’t surrender [ll | top, no lining of rose-white satin for the pale brow; no smooth ribbons about the | coarse shroud.

The sufferer from cruel poverty smiled in her sleep. “I want to see my mother,” sobbed a poor child, as the city undertaker screwed : down the top. “You can’t—get out of the way, boy! why don’t somebody take the brat.” “Only let me see her ove minute,” cried “Ha, and what is it ? “Why, sir, p’raps I hadn’t ought to tell,” said Captain Spinnet, counterfeiting the most extreme perturbation. “You see, it was given to me as a sort of trust, | an’ it wouldn’t be right for me to give it up. You can take anything else you please, for I can’t help myself.” “You are an honest codger, at any rate,” said the pirate, “but if you would live | ten minutes longer, just tell me what you’ve got on board, and exactly the place where it lays.” The sight of a cocked pistol brought the | old man to his senses, and in a deprecat- | ing tone he uttered : “Don’t kill me, sir, don’t; I'll tell you | all. We've got forty thousand silver dol- lars nailed up in boxes just for’ard o’ the | cabin bulkhead; but Mr. Defoe didu’t | suspect that anybody would have thought | of looking for it there,” “Perhaps so,” chuckled the pirate, while - his eyes sparkled with delight. And then turning to his own vessel, he ordered all but three of his men to jump on board the Yankee. In a few minutes the pirates had taken of the hatches, and, in their haste to get | atthe “silver dollars,” they forget all | else, but not. so with Spinuet. He had the hapless, homeless orphan, clutching the side of the charity box, and as he gazed into that rough face, anguish tears streamed rapidly down the cheek on which no childish bloom ever lingered. Oh, it was pitiful to bear him cry, “Only once; let me see my mother only once |” Quickly and brutally the hard-hearted monster struck the boy away, so he reeled with the blow. For a moment the boy stood panting with grief and rage; his blue eyes distended, his lips sprang apart, a fire glittering through his tears, as he raised his pany arm, and with a most un- childish accent screamed, “when I’m a2 man, I'll kill you for that!” ' There was a coffin and a heap of earth between the mother and the poor, forsa- ken child, and a monument stronger than granite built in the boy’s heart to the memory of a heartless deed. ° * * . . .

And, Sam, tack a few verses on the nigger, and then we'll have two tirst-class cuts and two pieces of original poetry.” The next cut he picked up was a woman sitting on a rock watching some mules, but by sawing off the mules and gouging a club out of the woman's hand with a chisel, Jessop was enabled to built upon it a poem entitled “Deserted,” and calculated to bring tears to the eyes of a Mills-Seminary girl by the time the sixth verse was reached. Sometimes Mr. George would saw up a big engraving into three pieces and divide it between us.

Just after the strike, when Solomon closed the discussion by telling the slug- gard to go to the ant, the sliggard re- plied with a knowing wink that he had a much softer thing than that. “As how ?” inquired the proverbial monarch. “TI will start a savings bank,” replied the man of inertia. The monarch nodded slowly, twice or thrice, and went away to get shaved. The next time he met the sluggard, that deliberate individual was riding in a gold-mounted carriage, with coachman and footman in livery,“and ia reply to the monareh's nod, he just pulled up to say that he was going over to Eu- rope for a little while till the flurry blew over.

Ever since leaying the Whig party he had belonged te the Republican party, and not to any of the cliques of thet par- ty. He was very sorry that the Conven- tion had not aypiled itself of the grand opportanity to place itself on the record in support of that policy which met the universal acquiescence of the people. The omission of the Republican Convention left to the New York Democratic Conven- tion the opportunity te indorse the policy of peace. He refrained from any allusion to Mr. Conkling except by indirection. So NEEDLESSLY UNHAPPY. The New York Times is unhappy over the action of its Republican convention at Rochester. It declares that “most of its mensbers returned to their homes with the melancholy consciousness that their great (Mr. Conkling) leader had made a fool of himself, and that in blindly allow- ing him to take the lead their own folly was hardly less than hia.” Even the New York Commercial Advertiser, which has be regarded as Mr. Conkling’s organ, is disgusted with the exhibition which the Senator made of himself. It character- izes his attack upon Mr. Hayes’ civil ser- vice policy as a ‘“‘valgar war upon the National Administration,” and says “in the judgment of some of his best friends he made a great mistake which may lose him a .return to the United States Senate.” No one need be unhappy about the matter, however, for the people take no stock in Mr. Conkting’s proceed- ings, Republicans or otherwise. — Wilming- ton Star. ee We called attention recently tothe large mortuary record of the colored people as compared with the whites. We pointed to Charlotte as an illustration. The vital statistics of Memphis, Ten., show that in 1876 there were 652 deaths among the whites, and 601 among the colored. This rate, when the population is considered, indicates 3} colored to 1 white. In July and August the colored mortality was over five times greater than it was nmong the whites. These instances un- fortunately are exceptional. Neglect of the laws of health, and the want of prop- er food and attention in sickness are the chief causes no doubt of the excessive mortality.— Wilmington Star. — ~~ ——__— Tweed on the Stand.

The State of Virginia has adopted a ma- chine to make barkeepers and liquer.sel- lers honest and to prevent. their evading | the revenue tax on liquor sold at retail. The apparatus which now mast by law decorate every Virginian. bar is simply a registering diat combined with mechanism which whenever the index is moved ahead sounds a bell. The dial indicates up te a million drinks. Tampering with it is pre- vented by the peculiar seal, which consists of a miniature tongue of brass that perfo- rates a bit of paper carefully fitted into the lock. After this tungue is in place, the paper bears only a single perforation. Any attempt to violate the seal will result in defacing and tearing the paper, and this keeper to prosecution under the law. _ Two results have followed the introdue- tion of the invention, which might easily have been anticipated. The first is that the liquor men haye raised the price of their beverages so as to cover the amount which they are now obliged to pay in taxes, and the second is the production of devices to swindle the machine. Already one enterprising individual has begun us- ing a bell behind his counter haying pre- tisely the same sound of the gong in the machine. He went through all the mo- tions of operating the latter, and the false bell sounding made it seem as if the drink had been properly registered.

It is called for the purpose of making provision for the support of the army and navy, the last Congress having refused appropriations for these purposes. From present indications it will be a quiet and peaceful body. The South has nothing to complain of it, and we know of no cause of trquble in any part of the country. There wili be an at- tempt made to increase the army from 25,- 000 to 40,000 or 50,000, and no doubt pro- tection against railroad and labor strikes will form the principal basis of the argu- ment in favor of the measure. But we think it will fail. ‘I’~he Southern members of Congress, with rare exceptions, will oppose it, and it js by no means certain that it will command strength enough in the North to give it success. Mexican affairs will also, most likely, claim some attention. Border ruffians, if let alone, may work up a state of things along the Rio Grand which may eost the country millions of dollars.

I know that the Presi- dent likes Hampton, and has the greatest confidence in him and in the sincerity of his professions. He thinks Haimpton is a National patriot, if 1 may use the term, as loyal to the Union as need be—in fact, that he accepts the situation in gocd faith, aud is doing all he can to bring back the country -to the ancient Jove and confidence which prevailed in the days of the Revo- lution.

With such perils as these in its train, the proposed Canadian reciprocity treaty can hardly receive the sduction of the present or any other Administration.

The Democratie party thouglit a ay’ten that permitted snch gross inequalities as these, was manifestly wrong and ought to be broken up, . When therefure the Con- vention met in 1875 the provisions of the Mh Artiele- of. the Constitution in regard to the disposition of the money coming in from fines, penalties and forfeitures was chunged so as to read as follows: Buc. 5. All moneys, stocks, bonds and other property belonging to acounty school fund ; also, the net proceeds from the sale of estrays ; algo, the clear proceeds of all penalties and forfeitures, and of all fines collected ig the several couuties for any breach of the penal or military laws ot the State; and all moneys which shall be paid by persons as an equivalent for ex- emption fron military duty, shall belong to and remaio in the several counties, and shall be fuithfully appropriated for estab- lishing and maiutaiuing free public schools in the several counties of the State: Pro- vided, That the amount collected in each couuty shall be annually reported to the Superintendent of Public lustruction, The reasons for this change are plain It was seen that the preseut necessities of the State for money for school purposes were greater than they would probably ever be again, and therefore it was wiser to devote the whule of the fund arising from tines and furfeitures to. educational pur- poses as fast. as it came in than to go to work creating a permanent fund that could be practically available only to fu- ture generations, It was thought and wisely-too, that situated as we were, it was ubout as much as we could do to take care of ourselves and leave posterity to look after itself. It was found from sad experience that under the old system the | moneys received from fines and forfeitures were not paid into the State Treasury at all, but were irrevocably lost to the school | fund both fur the present aud the future. This evil it was thought could be remedied | sapport and build up factories at the north; and ander the operation of such protection the Northern section has grown rich while the Southern supporters \of the system have grown poor.

The ordi- nance reads as follows: That no beef or other fresh meats shall be hung up, or publicly exposed, on the streets or side- walks, between the hours of 10 a. am., and 4p. m., during the winter months, under a penality of a fine of $500, for each and every cffence. The same applies to fish. Wethink it a violation of the spirit of the law to expose these things in lanes or lots, close enough to sidewalks to be touched without moving off the walk. The Commissioners ought to have forbid- den it altogether instead of allowing the exposure part of the day—and_ that part, evening—when ladies are mostly on the streets. It might be done in the early morning, but certainly at no other time of the day. intends 0 taurant.

The man handed him the mo- ney and the boy jumped the nearest fence and was gone. The countryman never got his money. oO The commissioners have had the gas turned off on the streets, except in a few We hear a some little complaint about it.

They think it not right to de- prive them of light on the streets, and especially now, as the time of year is ap- proaching when the street lamps are most necessary. We hope the Board will re- consider this step and if possible please the tax payers and the public. o——— A Beautiful Store.—BeE tL, the Jeweler, has return from the cities with a very fine and beautiful stock of Silver-ware, Jewelry, Watches, Clocks, &c.

He walked up to a ebair and stood holding to its back. Weasked him to take a seat without looking up. Presently he asked: ‘‘Are you the para- graph writer fur this paper?’ We re- plied, looking at him, in the affirmative. He was dressed in the atyle of the an- cients and bad a face that seemed fainiliar. He asked: “Do you know me?” Told him we were not certain, thought we had seen him “My name is Shakespeare,’ said. ‘William, the man that wrote the poetry ?” we inquired. We told bim we had seen his picture in one of the Raleigh opera houses, that we remembered him perfectly and was glad to see him. He said he wanted to speak to us contiden- tially and would like to go to a private place. We took him into the inner sane- tum. When geated he said: “In your last issue you made a quotation from one of my little poems, I think it was from Ham-~ let, Prince of Denmark, in which you busted.” We were very sorry and would correct it with pleasure. He went on: “You made me say ‘that this too, too social flesh,’ instead of ‘that this too too solid flesh.’ You see, my young friend, you made a sort of a fool of me.” Yes, we were sorry, and told him that we had written it correctly and that the compositor had made the error and that it was overlooked in the proof. He | said I might thiuk strange of his coming to tell me of it, but that he was misquoted by so many people and so many times, that he felt he must take steps to have a | stop put to it, and this being my first | offense, he thought it well to nip it in the bud.

Be sure to get your hands to ted by seven o’clock—they will rise early by force of circumstances. Pay a hand, if he is a poor hand, all you promise him; if he is a good one pay him a little more; it will encourage him to do still better, Always feed your hands as woll as you feed yoursel vos, for the laboring men are the bone and sinew of the land and ought to be well treated. 1 am satisfied that getting up early, in- dustry and regular habits ave the best medicines ever prescribed for health. When rainy, bad weather eames so that you can’t work out door, cyt, split and haul your wood, make your racks, fix your fence or gate, and patch the roof of your barn or house, Study your own interest closely and do not spend your time in electing Presidents, Governors.and other smaller officers, or talk of hard times and spend your time jn whittling store boxes. Take your time, and make calculations; do things in a hurry, but do them at. the proper time, and keep your mind as your body employed. Sugar Beets.—The Department of Agri- culture distributed last spring one hun- dred pounds of French sugar beet seed in different sections of the State, with a view to determining the quantity of saccharine matter they would produce in North Car- olina. Ifa certain per cent. is found, the establishment of sugar manufactories will be seoured at once, The Chemist at-Chap- el Hill, we are informed, is waiting anx- iously for samples of these beets and s0 far, haa received only four lots. Surely those who have grown beets at the request of the Department will have interest enough in the subject to send a bushel or so by express to Dr, Ledoux at Chapel Hill, and this ought to be done at once, before the beet loses its awectnesa and be- comes stringy, Send up samples, friends, and let the Chemist determine their value. All ex- penses will be paid by the Department.— Raleigh News, - ele, The farmers of Georgia will realize nearly two millions of dollars from their peach crop this year, sold in a dried state, A fourteen acre field near Georgetown, 8.

He stepped back to the stake, tossed his ring, and it caught on one of the pails. “Will you take six rings ta pitch again, or three pence ?” “Three pence,” was the answer ; and the money was put intohisband. He stepped off, well satisfied with w hat he had done, aud probably not having au idea that he done wreng. A gentleman standing near had watched him, and now, before he had time to logk about and rejoin his compan- ions, laid his hand on his shoulder : “My lad, this is your first lesson in gambling.” ‘Gambling, sir!” “You staked your half-penny and won six half-pence, did you not ” ‘Yes, I did.” ‘You did nat earn them, and they were not given to you; you won them just as gamblera win money, You have taken the first atep in that path; that man has gone through it, and you can see the end. Now, I advise you to go and give him his three pence back and ask him for your ha!fepenny, and then stand square with world an honest boy again. He had hung his head down, but raised it quickly; and his bright, open look as he said, ‘I'll do it,” will not soon be for- gotten. He ran back, and soon emerged from the ring, looking happier than ever. He touched his cap and bowed pleasantly as he ran away to join his companions. This was an honest boy.— Morning Star. >. ee MINISTERIAL MODESTY, Modesty shines nowhere more beautiful- ly than in the character of a minister. As an ambassador he stands not for himself but for his Lord, and he should ever keep his interest in frout. A worthy represen- tative of the Master does not need to pro- claim himself; his excellency will shine forth aa the aun, and the odor of his vir- tues become diffused like a precious oint- ment, the fragrance filling the whole house. How unworthy a thing for auch a man to be ever on the alert to obtain conspicuity, to impress the public with his ability, to preach himself rather than the Lord who sent him forth! The mod- est minister will not have much to say of himself or of his doings; they are, in his view, too poor to be proclaimed on the house-top or in the newspaper. If he preaches a great sermon, or js blessed with an extensive revival, he is reticent on the matter till the work has been prov- ed, and then no trumpets are needed. His works praise him in the gates. his modes of expression, too, he is self oblivious. Cautious in giving forth his tance and excellency of those to whom he minjsters. He never speaks of ‘‘my peo- le” or “my Church” or “my services,” His own life is merged in that of the flock; he is only ong of ‘tour people,” ouly a ser- vant in God’s house.—Zion’s Herald, ‘MAMMA, ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?” — An influential lady, wife of a promising lawyer in C——, who had been under deep convietion for several days, gave the following account at our prayer meeting of her conversion ; ‘Last evening my little girl came tome and said, ‘Mamma, are you a Christian 1” ‘No, Fannie, I am not.’ , ‘She turned and went away, and, as she walked off, I heard her: say, ‘Well, if mamma jsn’t 9 Christian, | don’t want to be one,’ And, I tell you, my dear frjends, it went right t2 my heart, and then and there I tried to give myself up to Christ,’ Mother who reads this, in the language of that little girl: ‘Mamma, are you a Pres jterian Banner, . | | In all | offered to take av oath that the girls were own experience, he recognizes the impor- | Judge Ferris, but as there was no pros- | mortality is by killing the cobras whole- beings and six cattle; tigers reapectively 828 and 12,423; Jeqpards, 187 and 16,157; bears, 84 and 529; wolves, 1,060 and 9,407; hyenas, 68 and 2,116; while to ‘other animals,’ the buffalo, the wild goat, the boar, ete., are ascribed the totals of 1,446 and 4,401, “But the most terrible life-destroyer in India, ia the snake. It is a significant fact that the number of deaths due to snake bite execeds that from all other causes. It amounts tq no fewer than 17,- 070, or in other words, something like 50 people perjsh every day in India from snake bite alane. The great majority of the victims are of canrse natives, who go about. barefuoted. The Hindoo woman is making her way to the well or to the river with her pitcher on her head; the gréom is cutting fresh grass; the gardener is plucking flowers with which to decorate the rooms; or the messenger is runping by a short cut across the field with a note. Any of these may at any moment tread upon a cobra; and although the cobra is vot aggressive, it will turn when attack- ed, or imagines that jt is threatened, with the rapidity of lightning. A sharp, short sting is felt, and the sufferer sees the loathsome reptile clinging to his foot or ankle, for the fangs of the cobra strike so deeply that it is often unable to disen- goge itself. The brute is shaken off; but the nearest doctor is probably ten, twelve, or even twenty milesaway. Noremedies are at hand; there is no knife for excision, no caustic or hot iron for caytery; pnd before a few hours have elapsed death bas set it.

Thecustomary reward has consequently been withdrawn, and the result as we are told, aud can easily believe, is that the mortality from suake bites has increased toa very alarm- ing extent.

Tucker arrived here yesterday from White county on their way to Waco, Texas. They | started from Teeter’s store, near Brady- ville, seventy miles from Nashville, just one week ago, and had with them a com- mon wagon, to which waa attached a very small mule. Accompanying them were two girls name Margaret Jane Clementine Moon and Cynthia Elizabeth Moon, sis- ters, who did not apparently look to be, respectively more than 12 and 13 years of age. When policemen Power, Hood and Kline came across them, they asked the men who the girls were, and Tucker said they were their wives. The officers, see- ing that the girls were mere children, were convinced that they were not married to themen. Suspecting a case of abduction, they took the parties into custody and carried them before Captain Yater. The captain crossed questioned them, and when be commenced taking their deserip- tion the men admitted that they were not married to the girls, explaining that their mother, who had gone by rail to Waco, Texas, had requested them to take the girls by wagen and to meet her at that point, They had been out together for a week, camping every night. Tucker as “innocent as the babies in Heaven.” Captain Yater had a conference with pect of 9 prosecutor appearing against the men they could not be held.

Nothing but a comparative- ly slight effort ot public spirit here is needed to secure for our own metropolis ameut fully equal to that which is to London eagerly ex- pected by the whole British people.

It was probebly during the twelfth dynasty of the Egyptian kings that they ceased to be sepulchral adorn- ments or symbols and were placed before the temples.

In connection with Maj prepared a plan for the embarkation ant of some leading American banker. For nearly 2,000 years there have stood on the shores of the Levant two obelisks of rose-colored syenite known as “Cleopa- tra’s Needles.” Egyptologists tell us how these great monoliths, nearly sevel- ty feet high, were taken from the granite quarries at Syene by the skillful work- men of antiquity and conveyed thence to Karnac and Heliopolis. In order to move them the stone was marked the whole length required, and metal wedges were driven into the line. Another plan which showed wonderful ingenuity was to insert wedges of extremely dry wood and then to pour water upon them tifl they split and displaced the stone, Pliny says that they were transported to the Nile with the aid of flat-bottomed boats, float- jng in canals specially prepared for the Sharpe says that they were placed in an erect position by cutting a groove in the pedestal, in which the lower edge of the monolith might turn as if it were a hinge, the top of the obelisk being purpose. elevated by means of a mound of earth the size of which was continually increas- ed till the stone stood securely erect From Heliopolis, where they stood before the entrance of the temple of the god Tum or the Setting Sun, they were transported to Alexandria during the reign of Tiberius but bear their popular name because of a tradition that they were brought to Alex andria iv the time of Cleopatra, A grea deal of controversy has raged among the Jearned in regard to their meaning, bu notwithstanding all that has been said and written about them, as well as abou other similar mouuments Rome, Arles, Paris and Loudon, no abso lute certainty as to their import has yet been reached. Pliny supposed them t be symbols of the sun’s rays; other writ- ers have identified them with the Jachi at Jerusalem, apparently only becaus the obelisks were placed in pairs befor the entrance of an Egyptian temple. They have been regarded as identical with th Hindu Lingam and ascore of opinions, more or less reasonable, have beenadvaneed by speculative inquirers, but there still is quite as much difficulty in arriving at their true meaning aud origin as there is in interpreting the story of the round towers of Ireland, or, to compare small things with great, the origin of the New- Mr. Bonomi, who is a better authority than most writers, inasmuch as he has spent a long period on the banks of the Nile in unwearied and _ intelligent port mill. research, says: ‘As regards the origin sits of obelisks, it should be mentioned that there are none on the western bank of the river proper—the obelisk appear- ing to be a decoration of the cities of the living, symbolized by the rising sup, as the pyramid is of those of the dead, sym- bolized by the setting of that luminary.” Taken jn convection with the fact that Heliopolis the monoliths now known Cleopatra’s Needles stood at the entrance of the temple of the Setting Sun, this e planation rather shows the diffieulti surrounding the question of their mea ing and origin than throws any decisi light on the subject. Nevertheless, a study of the heireglyphics with which the Nee les are covered seems to confirm the view of Mr, BOnomi. These inscriptions gen- erally describe the greatness, magnificence and glory of the monarch in whose rei they were erected, On the obelisk which will soon be erected jn London appears the name of Thothmes [II,, the date whose reign, according to Sir Gardner Wilkinson, is a about the middle of the fourteenth century before the Chriatian era, or some 3,300 years ago.

The stone is inclosed in an iron cylinder with ends shaped like wedges, which was built around it as it lay on the shore. Sixty tons of iren were used in its coustruction. It took about two months to incluse the monolith. The inclosing cylinder is 92 feet long and has adiameter of 15 feet; planks were arranged and fastened around the box, and after all was ready the whole was rolled down to the sea with the aid of ropes fastened on winches in vessels in the water, while other ropes on winches on the shore kept it from rolling too rap- idly. At first it wasa struggle as to which should be set in motion by this apparatus _the vessel or the obelisk. The obelisk got entirely the better of the strain, 80 that the boat, instead of pulling the stone down to the shore, was itself borne to- wards the land. It was only when steam- tugs were substituted and put under full headway that the enormous mass was tinally made to move. When, after two days of labor, the obelisk reached the sea, the cylinder filled with water because of a leak, and a powerful pump fuiled to emp- ty the air spaces. Divers were employed, who found that a stone had broken a large hole in the cylinder and was wedg- ed in it so tightly that it could not be re- moved under water. The cylinder was turned over, the injury repaired, and soon this remarkable boat, with its still more wonderful contents, was floating safely in the Mediterranean. height n t victor Park, The g 8 r e Oo or Jetty was commenced, alongside ¢ whieh was to be introduced into the Shi upon rollers, , cut to the necessary size, and w large blocks of Timber, forming a pla form upon the Keel of th keep this immense weigh ; it straining the Keel. hold of the Ship, the Needl secured in its bed, so’as to preclade tl possibility of its being moved therefro by the motion of the ship at sea. fallen Needle lay close to the moving it upon Rollers from w here it la to the Ship, became a very easy oper tion.” | Considerable progress was made wi the jetty, and all the officers of the Roy Navy then at Alexandria entered bearti ’ t t t successful had it not been abandoned consequence of orders received from Lo Keith and General Fox, who were th in command of the fleet and the troo serving in the Mediterranean.

It was no easy task to tow her, under these circumstances, round the breakwater,7and after sunset through the dangerous Boghos Pass in- to Alexandria harbor ; and the manage- ment of Messrs. Greenfield's tug by her commander was beyond praise. The rudderless cylinder would appear first on one side and then on the other, and again apparently prepared to charge savagely into the broadside of the tug, so that the skipper generally had his wheels going opposite ways, either to coax ajong the Needle or to get out of her way when she charged. Captain Clark was busier per- haps than he had ever been before towing a craft, bat the Arab pilot of course sat crosslegged on the paddle-box smoking cigarettes and looking dreamily ahead, as it he had done nothing sinee bis child- hood than sit in tug and tow ‘Needles’ round to Alexandria harbor.” Now that three-quarters of a century after it was first offered to her, England finally sees Cleopatra’s Needle on its way to her shores, the new question has arisen | what is she todo with it?

Sir Charles Barry sees this, and loudly protest against the site at Westminister ; he desires to place the monolith at a spot “remote, unfriended, melaacholy, slow, near the top of Portland place. Others suggest that it slould stand in the court- yard of the British Museum. Another sit and a fine one which has been thought of is the upper end of the noble Thames Em- bankment ; still another is Lincoln’s Inn Fields, and another still is Primrose Hill. Some people insist that the only proper place for it is within the railings of St. James’s Vark, where a mound would have to be raised for it after the manner of that whereon the statute of Achilles in Hyde Park is mounted, for, which some enthusi- tic ladies gave a commission that it might commenorate forever the battle and the but of a highlypractical nature are urged. is thought to be still treacherous, 80 that | it is within the limits of possibility that, should the Needle be placed there, Lon- don might awake some fine morning to find it, like the Amsterdam Stadt-Huys, supke | with regard to the site on which the wood- en model stands in Parliament square. | Not enly does the Metropolitan District | he is forgotten !

These obelisks posses a ve estimate which enlightened nations place ypon all monuments of antiquity. When the one now on its way to England was anearthed on the grounds of M.

BERNHEIM howapard searney t 7th of Angust, and stopped once more in and ence, to bid my relatives farewell. a pleasant surprise at a railroad station in the Black Forest mountains, in meet- ing another family of my relatives, on their way to Switzerland on a pleasure trip. I sailed down the Rhine to Dussel- dorf, where I stayed a couple of days with the rest of my relatives, from whom it was very difficult to part. Had a pleasant visit to Baden-Baden, and enjoyed the baths there very much. This is the most renowned and fashionable bathing place in all Europe. The water is hot, and has minerals in it. They have a band of mu- sic playing morning or evening every day. Last night I went to hear the music, and there saw the fashionable world as- sembled in, -the open air, in the garden promenade ; and I assure you the glitter of this world dazzled my eyes, and I therefore returned early to my hotel, and retired for the night. On my arrival in Dusseldorf, I found everything in a commotion, as the En- peror was expected there on the 5th of September, in order to hold a grand re- view. All visits to Switzerland, Schwarz- burg and other places are cut short, so that the citizens may be back at the ap proaching great event. Every where great preparations were being made for the Emperor's reception: arches were erect- ed, troops were drilled laboriously each day, an elaborate platform or stage for the review had been built ; all to welcome and receive their great earthly sovereign, but the heavenly king of glory—oh, how I was very much press- but beneath this | ed to remain there until after the Emper- flowed around or’s Grriwal, and indeed would have | enjoyed it greatly, but my time was too mited. From Dusseldorf my route took me through Holland. I was astonished that I could understand so much of the lan- guage, which, in fact, greatly resembles the German. At Flushing we took the steamship for Queensboro. We had head- winds all the time, but not much motion of the ship, which caused very little sea- sickness; and the trip was made in eleven hours. Took the cars at Queensboro, and rode with great rapidity to London, a dis- tance of 65 miles in one and a-half hours. Visited St. Paul’s cathedral, and attended seavice there on the evening of my arrj- val, and was much pleased with the mu- sic and intonations of the prayers, creed, &c.; also with the singing of the amen responses. The choristers were all dressed in white, and walked in procession to their places, with the minister in the rear. The reading clergyman wore a shaw]-like covering of red over his white surplice, and the preacher a similar one of black. The sermon was very long, and by no means an able one; but I must say I did not bear very clearly, for the echo in this immense edifice destroys the distinctness of utterance. I was delighted with the interior architecture of the church, but the exterior is too much blackened by age and the smoke of the city to please the eye. There is no display of dress and fashion among the worshippers; all were apparelled in good clothing, but nothing more, the English being an exceedingly sensible people in this respect, caring more for substantials, and less for finery and outward show, London is a smoky city ; so much soft, bituminous coal is burnt here in the houses, factories, &c., th@t the buildings are all discolored, and I have to keep my window closed, to keep out the soot and sulphurous air, that makes one gough in- voluntarily. I should dislike to live here on that account; but O, what a change between England and the Continent | Here everything is quiet on Sunday ; stores all closed, and the Lord’s day not profaned. For this I like England—it is so much like my own country. The next day I visited Westminster Abbey, which is located near Westmin- ster bridge, and almost adjoining the Parliament edifice. I arrived just at the time of evening service, the music of which sounded inexpressibly sweet through the vaulted arches of the Abbey, softened by distanee, for I was in another transept of the buflding. The service here is intoned, like that in St. Paul's cathe- dral, and is certainly an improvement upon tbe services in some Episcopal churches in America. An immense crowd was gathered in the Abbey for sight-see- ing, and at the conclusion of the service a general rush was made to the various of the edifice. Some of the visitors were evidently from the coarser and low- er walks of life. Mothers were there with their infants in their arms; and the which no true Britons could tol- Sir Charles Barry's enormous of 320 feet above the House of of of Waterloo.

I was surprised to find so few of the Eng- lish sovereigns entombed here. The most of the monuments are erected in honor of England’s illustrious dead outside of the ranks of royalty, In the poets’ cor- ner are names as familiar to us as house- hold words—Shakspeare, Milton, Gold- smith, Gray, Dryden, the two Johnsons, Chaucer, and a host of others, with Macaulay, Thackery and Dickens as the newest additions to those of a past age. All honorable professions seem to be rep- resented here among the illustrious dead —men of science, like Sir Isaac Newton and the two Herschells; statesmen, like Pitt, Palmerston, -and others; warriors by land and sea, like Nelson and Mont- gomery ; authors, theologians, novelists, comedians like Garrick, and even his wife ; inventors such as Watt, explorers like Sir John Franklin and Livingstone ; mu- sicians, like Handel and others. The lamented Major Andre has a most touch- ing monument and epitaph, and even John and Charles Wesley, the founders of Methodism, have bas-relief portraits in marble, with inscriptions quoted from their works. And then, upon them all falls the “dim religious light” of the Ab- bey as it passes through the stained windows. A decriptive placard, in each part or division of the Abbey, sometimes more than one, readily find the tomb and monument of each one buried or honored here, with other cards, all of which are hung up— some giving quotations from authors and poets respecting Westminster Abbey, and others warning against mutilations, and requesting the detection of such sacrileg- jous persons. upon my mind were more of a pleasing nature than otherwise. One communes not simply with the dead, but with past events and honorable deeds, of which those illustrious dead were the partakers and promoters. And although “the path of glory leads but to the grave,” neverthe- less it isa happy thus honors the memory of her great men, and incites her sons and daughters of every age to make England yet niore re- nowned by future deeds of valor.

But such is the hallowed vener- south of Cotopaxi devastated the prosper- ous and enchanting valley of Chillo; and in particular the estate of the Senor Agu-- irre, noted for having been the residence of Humbolt. There, tog, as in Latacunga, arose the building of a thriving factory, which, only the year before, had been de- stroyed by fire, and had been repaired at greatexpense. The torrent rooted it from, the ground, and bore it away in a thou- sand fragments. It is asserted that a mill of Don Eanuel Palacios floated on the wa- ter like a ship at sea until shattered by the current. The loss in the valley of Chillo alone is estimated at. over two millions of dollars, and in the. _other sections is equally great. It is likewise calculated that the number of the dead exceeds 1,000. Although the gurround- ings of Quito have been laid waste, the city itself suffered from ouly a rain of ashes and a complete darkness, which be- gan on the 26th of June, at three in the afternoon. At Machache and other places the night lasted for thirty consecutive hours. In the midst of this opaque gloom one could hear the bellowing of cattle and the cries of other animals, who, deprived of their usual food by the shower of ashes, sought, in a species of frenzy, for the means of satisfyieg their hunger. Other beasts frantic with terror, cateered hither and thither as if in dispair, and the pite- ous howling of the dogs pierced the ear with its ominous sound, In Quite the darkness was as that of night; it was like that described by the younger Pliny in a letter to Tacitus, in which he relates the eruption of Vesavius and the destruction of Pompeii. ‘“It.was,” be says, “as if the lights in a room had been extinguished.” At Quito the shower at first was of coarse heavy sand, which subsequently turned | into ashes so fine and impalpable that they penetrated not only inte apartments, but into the mést carefully closed recep- tacles. In the depth of the darkness, men and women, braving the rain of ash- es, sallied forth into the streets, screening themselves with umbrellas, and lighting their way with lanterns, and all the while these strange apparitions rentthe air with their cries aud prayers for merey. The umbrellas, as well as the green eye-glasses used here on jourveys, “were no superfiu- ous precaution, although they afforded but scanty protection against the subtle powder ; which, it was remembered, had in many cases produced blindness during the eruption of 1843, during the rain of ashes of thirty hours that attended it. SUPERSTITIOUS FRENZY OF THE PEOPLE. From the outset the people had unani- wously ascribed the disaster toa chastise- ment of heaven, brought down by the irreligion of the Government, which had arbitrarily closed the churches, and de- prived the people of those spiritual conso- lations that were made doubly necessary by the sad condition of things in general. The idea of a divine punishment spread like wildfire, and as the tempest raged more wildly, this conviction gathered in- tensity, until, at last, groups of men, with- out a leader, withont any concerted plan, and without arms, threw themselves upon the guard of the military hospital, while others attacked the guard stationed at the powder magazine on the hill of Javira. ‘Phere were but few troops in the garrison, the greater part having been sent to sup= press the insurrection in Imbabura; but the assailants, lacking arms and direction, were promptly overpowered, with no fur- ther loss than that of two soldiers and two citizens.

Wednesday mornjng’s mail brought pretty full telegraphic reports of proceed- ings ‘in Congress together with the Presi- dents’ message. Proceedings in Congress are chiefly in reference to the settlement -pf disputed claims to seats in the Senate aud House, The Senate is full except Morton and Sharon and the excluded Senators from South Carolina and Louis- jana. The question of sweariug in the two members ef the House from South Carolina, Rajney and Cain, was debated and decided in the affirmative 18] to 88, and they were admitted to qualify. Dar- rell of Louisiana was alsq sworn in, The case of Elam, of La., was discussed but no conclusjon reached, Letter carriers are petitioning for in- freased pay. Beck, of Ky., introduced a bill for the repeal of disabilities imposed by the 14th amendment. Referred. Also a bill to repeal the test oath. The President's message is almost ex- clusively limited to the subject for which the special session was called, to wit: appropriations for the army aud navy. He hopes these will be made as speedily as possible, and before Congress takes up the question of increasing or dinjinishing the army, as the men jp the service are badly in need of their pay. He also urges Congress te make an appropriation to se- cure a fair representation of the iudustrial interests of the country in the great French exhjbitjon which opens in Paris next May, Also, that $3,000 bo appro- priated to coyer the expenses of a Com- missioner to the internatjonal prison Congress to be held at Stockholiyy next year. a A Rowan correspondent of the Raliegh Observer says: Ibad an interyiew with Mr. Special Route Agent Long some ten or twelve ‘lays ago.

When, stranded it was still alive, but died soon after the ebb of the tide, which left it high and dry on the beach. Two fishermen took possession of the “treasure trove,” and the whole set- tlement gathered to gaze in astonishment atthe monster. Formerly this “vig squid,” as the fishermen call it, would have beep converted into manure by the fishermen, or cut up for food. for dogs; buat now, thanks to the diffusion of intelligence, there were some in Gatalina who knew the importance of preserving such a rarity, aud who advised the fishermen to take it at.ouce to St. John’s. The two men load- ed their little craft with the body of the gigantic euttle, and arrived with it here on the 26th in a perfectly fresh condition. As soon as the news spread an eager de- sire to view the monster was awakened, and the fishermen were advised to exhib- it it before the public. The Government granted the use of the drill-shed for the purpose, and on the floor, supported by boards, the creature was laid out ip all its gigantic proportions.

He found great finan- cial prostration and wide-spread despon- dency. There are now sigus of revival of are being employed in the industries of the South. into antagonistic sections—a feeling of hatred and bitterness filling nearly every heart. There are now visible many to- kens of a dawning era of reconciliation, peace and kindness. The South does not friendlessness as it did. It does not cber- ish that vengeful and retaliatory spirit that grew up naturally under long contin- ued slanders and oppressions. Relieved of military rule and Federal injustice and tyranny, it now feels capable of reassert- ing its ancient claim as a land of corn and wine—as a land of production, as well of fruits of the earth. Capital may not shrink now from euteriag its borders, and immigration may pur into States rich iy great natural possessions and awaiting the hand of the toiler. Now we do not claim that every good thing that belongs to the South at this time actua.ly comes from the wise and consti- tutional acts of the President, We have merely sketched a contrast we believe ta be true in outline, and, as faras we know, in detail. The country to-day—the South bly better everyway than it was cight or ten months aguo—that all men must admit. Of course, according as men see things, will they attempt to account for what has occurred. to the schemes of the plunderers and bloody-shirt wringers, and had permitted his conduct as Chief Executive to be intla- enced and directed by Morton, Chandler, Wade, the two Camerons, father and son, Butler, Blaine, and men of that temper and princjples, we could never have drawn any such contrast as we have ateinpted above. We believe bitterness and dis- cord, jealousies and :ntagoniswa, oppres- sions and outrages would have prevailed throughont the South, and men eyery- where would have been ready to curse in the bitterness of their souls the infamous and prestitate government under which they were gompe}led to live and suffer. We have recently read a paragraph or soin the New York Financial Chronicle that contains one or two points worth eon- sidering. It very plainly condemns the course of the Republican party by which it abused its power to the injury and dis- poiling of the fairest portion of the great American heritage. It says, in referring to the removal cf the troops from the South; “In eatimating the effect of the last- named cause, it f important to realize, if we éan, the significance of the fact that, for twelve years and a half, the prac- tice, varying in degree and form, of gov- erning certain States by Federal power, has been kept up. How quickly anamolies become customs, and abuses of power become regular exercises, is shown by the fact that to few people dees this long perversion of authority seem anywise remarkable. How wonted we have become to it appears from the very circumstances that its aban- donmeut—a thing as purely negative as is any man’s Pr. frajuing to violate the Deca- logue—js dignitied by being called the Presidents “policy,” as if it were a posi- tive course undertaken, instead of merely the withdrawal of troops from a use deem - ed, at least, no longer justifiable.

Henceforth an Awerican may with conscious pride men- tion the name of Stanley with Livingstone, Speke, Grant, Burton and Cameron, and world’s knowledge, and by hazardous and long continued adventure have won for themselves the name of heroes. The following extract from an editorial in the N. ¥.

I have carefully taken the measurement | of the monster, and the following are the dimensious: The two long tentacles are | each 30 feet ; the body 10 feet in length, | making the total length from the termina- | tion of the outstretc!l.ed loug arms to ex- tremity of the tail 40 feet. The long ten- tacles are thin and tough as leather, being only 5 inches in circumference, except at the extremities, where they broaden out land are 8 inches in cireumference. Thé body at its thickest part ia nearly 7 feet in circumference. There are short arms, which at the point of junction with the central mass are 17 inches in circumfer- ence, but at their extremities taper down to fine tongae-like points, having rows of suckers along one side. I tried to count these suckers on one arm, which is 11 feet in length, and made out 250, large and small: so that the cight arms must contain 2,000 suckers ; the long arms per- haps 250 more. The head or central mass, from which the arms radiate, is 44 feet in cirenmference. Unfortunately the delicate eyes had been destroyed on the voyage or in putting it on board, but the socket of one measured 8 inches in diameter. The appearance of the animal when in the water is described by the fishermen as extraordinary. The tail had got fast’ on a rock as it was swimming backward, and it was rendered powerless. In its des- perate efforts to escape the ten arms dart ed about in all directions, lashing the water into foam, the thirty-foot tentacles in particular making lively play-as it shot them out and endeavored to get a “puar- chase” with their powerful suckers, so as to drag itself into deep water.- It was only when it became exhausted: and fhe tide receded that the fishermen ventured to approach it.

This is the all absorbing question of the day which appears to engage the minds | of members of Congress, as well as the mass of the populace, especially in the Southern States. What can be done to give the Southern States more currency ? I do not know that I can suggest a plan or not, nevertheless, I will give you my plan, which I verily believe will, afford the relief so much desired. the President, and to that body the eyes of the people are directed for relief, and shall they look in vain? There is a sufficient amount of curren- cy issued by the General Government al- ready, in my humble opinion, and if it could be properly distributed among the States, we would not hear so much about hard times. The Treasury of the U. 3. has issued and put into circulation Na- tional enrrency to the amount of six hun- dred and thirty millions of dollars, besides the legal tender notes, this gives to each inhabitant in the United States $15,75, now if this amount was apportioned out among the various States according to population, the Southern States would have one hundred and eighty millions of | this currency, and North Carolina would have fifteen millions of dollars, besides her preportion of the legal tender notes. This amount of currency does seem enough to answer the purposes of the people. In the year 1860, if I mistake not, the entire amount of gold and silver, nsed as a basis upon which to Bank in the United States, Was, in round numbers, fifty two millious: now allowing each bank in the U. 8. to have issued four dollars for every dollar of eapital paid in and on deposit, there could not have been more than four hundred and sixty eight millions dollars of specie, gold and paper money in the United States at that time. So if I am correct in my figures, you ean very easily perceive that there is one hundred and sixty two millions dollars more now than then. Now why is there such depression in mon- ey matiers? I conceive the answer to this question to be this: The National I will tight any one of you who chooses to Banks not being restricted by the U. S. in their rates of interest among their own People, have caused this scarcity of mon- ey. For by the policy of the National Banks millions upon millions of dollars are deposited in their vualts at 4 to 8 per ent interest per annum, and then loaned by them from 1 per cent to24 per cent inter- est per mopth such ruinous rates of interest persisted in and fostered by the General Government must paralize any people. Hence the remedy is iu Congress. Let her at this extra session pass # general usury law, and fix a legal rate of interest for the National Banks, and tix that rate at hot over 6 pet centum per annum, and = word for it there will be plenty of Green Backs” among the people—some May say the money has gone North, but It is not so, it is in these National Bank Vaults, “HOMO.” —— -—_+<>-_ - ——_ Fine Marble.—Prof. C.

I remember the time when it was all very different. More than one personal friend of my own has had his prospects completely ruined by embracing the Catholic religion. The change which has taken place in the tone of public feel- ing, especially among the “upper classes,” ou this subject, would not be credited by any man who knew England twelve or | fifteen years ago and has never visited it since.

For the | most part, however, the intellectual men lof the day are becoming either Free- | Thiukers or Roman Catholics —chiefly, I | believe, Free-Thinkers. It seems to me that more go to that extreme than to the other. I foresee a great struggle in Ea- rope between these forces, a struggle which will involve vast consequences for empires as well as for religions. In that | contest I expect to see America play a| great part—whatever may be her disposi- tion, she cannot fail to exerta tremendous |influence. Hence, it is that if you had} not come here to-day to ask me what I thought of Roman Catholic progress in England, I should have liked to ask you what you thought of it in the United States. It is a wonderful thing to me that they are building the second finest cathe- dral in the New World in New York, and that a Protestant should be the architect of it. I have no doubt that many Protes- tants besides the architect have given help towards buildivg that cathedral in Fifth avenue. “I look with great interest on what we are doing in America.

He halted, leaning againat the railing. Nobody took the slightest natice of him hawever. At last he took gourage and spoke ; ' “Ts the Judge in?” The clerk immediately awoke his Honor. —_ “Well, what do you want?” “I'm looking for a job, your Honor. -- tye been looking for a job over a month.” ('There’s nothing for you here.” “y thought you oceasionally gave jury- men a job. I don't read newspapers any, pnd. bein’ a stranger jn town, I haven't got any prejudice agin anybody. A pard pf mine wrote down to me at Reno last week, and said that the jury’ business up here was brisk, an’ it would pay to come up. As I’m a stranger to you, and a little hard up, I'll start in and serve for a case pr two for half price, and you kin see what I kin do.” , “What are your majn qualificatiqns.” “My strong suit is making a jury agree. No jury ever gets hung if I'm on ‘em. I just lay low til] they take the first ballot, then join the majority and argue the rest into it. I can disecquot any law- yer talking. I can show ‘em points they never tumbled to before. Sometimes I haye to use force, but seldom. Ones down at Truckee, in a murder case, there was a couple of fellers standin’ out agin’ hangin’ and after arguing with ’em as smooth and gentlemanly as I could for over a quarter of an hour, I went for ‘em with chairs, and by the time I'd busted half a dozen pieces of furniture over ‘em they were glad to come in with a verdict of “Murder jn the first degree,” and the feller was hung not long afterwards. In these Jus- tices courts I can get on a jury, and if you'd give me a wink as te how you want the case to go, I'll guarantee to fetch in the verdict you want or not take a cent.” The man was told to drop around again in a day or so, and they would try and make a vacancy for him, In orday to do it however, some regular juryman will probably have to be discharged. _ TSO SUNSHINE.

That pure agd excellent woman is now in heaven. She did not tarry here to see her cherished plant come to its bloom. But as her virtues are still yielding blossoms and flowers on the earth, so this planting of her hand has sirvived her, yielding a beauti- ful representative of what adorns the valleys af the sacred Jund, and of what our blessed [ord so much admired. We congratulate our friends in Salem in haying produced the -first flower of this plant from American soil. We particularly thank Miss Vir- ginia E. Brown, .and her aunt Mrs. Dr. Krauth, for fyrnishing us the privilege of seeing it. We also add, that it would be interesting to many of our readers, and put us under addi- tional obligations if some one of those familiar with the facts would give us a particular description of the sistory of its growth, of the number and ap- pearance of the flowers on the stock, and of whatever else may relate to it, or any of its fellow plants, And if there are any other of our friends who have had results from the seeds we distributed, it would afford us much pleasure to hear of them. —Since writing the above, we have learned that Mrs. Dr. Krauth has still a living plant grown from some of these seeds. It is about twelve years old, and has reached a size al- most equaling the parent bulbs in Palestine but, as yet, it has produced no flowers. or oOo or KINDNESS TO ANIMALS—THE GRATEFUL SPARROWS. The “New-Haven Courier” relates the following interesting incident, which oc- curred a few years ago in one of the vil- lages of Connecticut: “A young lady, confined to the house by protracted indisposition, was in the habit of feeding a sparrow, which had a nest on a tree near the door, with cruwbs of bread. ‘The little creature had a warm heart under her homely dress, and soon learned to love her patron, became ex- ceedingly tame, and would hop about the table while the family were at meals. This was repeated whenever the door was open, till at last her mate was induced to accompany her and both would pick up the crumbs whivh their fairy entertainer, as she lay upon the sofa, scattered near her on the carpet. In the fall, one of them flew against the window, and tried to get in, but the lady was too feeble to} expose herself in the alr, and 80 could not admit her little visitor to 9 farewell inter. view. Next spring they both came again, as docile as ever. In the course of a few weeks, as the lady lay upon a sofa, on a Sunday morning, heing tao unwell te ga to church, the house being perfectly still, and the door opened, she heard a great twittering and chirping on the steps. Looking about for the cause, she espied her tame sparrow entering the apartment, followed by several of her progeny, and | the partner of her toils bringing up the | rear. They all remained with her half an hour, pesfectly fearless avd at home, till having satisfied their appetites with the morsels which were strewn for them, and expressed their obligations with sweet wild music, they retired to the shrubbery.” a= Girts Attitupe To Younc MEN.— There is a thing of which I want to speak and that is of the behaviour of young girls towards young meu who are not lovers, but simply friends.

The bad weather in September prevailed over a very wide extent of cotton country, and greatly retarded picking and prevent- ed saving the crop in good condition. — > Diphtheria.—A Chicago correspondent of the Raleigh Observer says: The treatment for diphtheria found most success here is so simple that I give it; as it may be as new to others as it was to me; it is simply the free use of ice, both internally and externally ; bags of pound- ed ice are kept to the throat, removing them for a few moments and then replac- ing them, while the patient is required to eat it all the time. The theory is that it destroys the vitality of the fungus growth, and it has been found generally successful if begun in time. M. B. C. PUBLISdeED WEskLY—J. J. BRUNER, Ed. and Prop T. K.

It was never well to put a monastery and a convent near together. One is for monks, the other fer nuns, God said it was not good for a man to be alone, and he made woman to be his wife, his lawful companiog, the solace and help of bis life. But He never made nuns for monks. | Neither monasteries nor convents are among the divine institutions. He aia ordain families, but the whole conventual system of the Chureh of Rome has been a wat upon the divine economy, an out- n the human race, and a hot-bed of the foulest crimes, of which murder is pot the least. Z - In the lovely valley and village. of Tn- terlaken, the fairest spot in all Switzer- land, at the foot of the Jungfrau, -- the Maiden,—ever clad in robes of snow, is a long, rambling, turreted building of stone, with a history so romantic and ancient, that its present peaceful, pieus and proper uses make the story almost incredible. This house was once a monastery and a convent: not both in one precisely: but athin partition only separating the two, while an undergreand passage made them easily one. And such was the corruption of morals which was the ready consequence of such association of men and women under vows of celibacy, that long before Luther’s Reformation began, this den of iniquity was broken up, and in our better days the building presents a livelier illus- tration of Christian union than any other house of which we have ever heard, in any country in the world. Yesterday I worshipped God in it with a congregation of Scotch Presbyterians: whilesfrom an- other chapel in it came the song of an English Episcopalian church service: a Swiss-French Evangelical church holds its service also under the same roof, and the Roman Catholics celebrate mass and have their regular and daily service in the principal chapel of this venerable pile. The edifice belongs to the govern- ment, which uses many of the apart- ments for public offices: the wings are well-arranged hospitals, and the battle- mented towers surmount the cburch, which is appropriated to such congrega- rage upo » =. | Berne. ' There a few of them went, and some found husbands to console them, when they were compelled to quit the monks. : : Bat the monks were not disposed to give it up so. ‘They introduced into their order a system of concubinage, with more | *T shameful proceedings than ever, In 1527, the monastery of Interlaken—this beauti- ful vale—was like Sodom for wickedness, and deserved the doom of the cities of the plain. The house became the seat of riot and disorder, and so great was the sean- dal that the government was constrained to interfere and break up the establish- ment. The monks were driven out, be- ing allowed pensions for life, but they did not consecrate themselves again, and lante;*hich ‘ the places that knew them a ce coals es > tae eden them ne more; 5 aa it. J ie real UE pypeey pemgae eh i The ancients walls, the halls that re- sounded with their ungodly revelry, the nests of their foul debauchery, are still here, and the beautifnl sunlight shines in upon them as if nothing but purity and peace cowkl ever have reigned in these hallowed precincts. A decrepit woman, feeble with disease and age, was sitting on a bench under the arched portals as I entered, and out of the windows of the hospitals, patients, eld and young, were looking: the several chapels were desig- nated by the names of the various Chureh- es that now gather to worship God under these ancient roofs; happy children with their nurses were playing under the mighty trees that have stood for centuries in the grounds about the monastery, and I conld uot but lift up my heart, and my voice too, in a devout “thank God,” that this fair spot, so sweet, so cool, 80 near to the snow-white mountains, yet adorned with meadows green and flowers, is not now, as it was once, defiled with the abowinations of a monastery ‘and a con- vent. Either of them is evil, and only evil. United they make this paradise a whited sepulebre, full of all uncleanness. But instead of preaching a warning against the whole monastic system, always corrupt and corrupting, and against ‘‘sis- terhoods,” always evil, and never expedi- ent in Protestant hospitals or schools, let me tell you a little story that this monas- tery suggests. In a few minutes walk from Interlaken we come to the ruins of the Castle of SAT; = £ ot tt * uit s A BRILLIANT WEDDING. At 5 o’clock on Wednesday evening the 10th inst., the Methodist church was filled to its utmost capaci! to witness the mar- riage ceremony of Mixs Rebecca, daughter of Rev.N. H. D. Wilson, D, D., to Mr. J. - LeGrand, of Richmond "county. The charch was beautifully decorated and ip as exquisite taste as a connoisseur could have suggested or desired, Thespeaker's desk from the front of the pulpilt had been removed, and in its stead was placed a large white vase four feet or more in height, from which grew evergreen vines, drooping with symmetry in curvelinear lines to its pedestal tapestry; from the centre of the vase grew scarlet tinted fol- wall of the church was represevtation of a large heart, across whose front two hands had clasped, one a lady’s and the other a gentleman’s. On either side of this and the vase were decorations the beauty of which cannot be portrayed in printer’s ink. In front of this vase and pulpit, rising up from the corners of the altar was a beautifal arch of cedar, bestuded with magnolias and other flowers ; the arms of the arch meeting over the centre of the altar and extending together upward about five feet. On the top of this wasa white dove, apparently descending with out- stretched pinions as if to light on some one beneath. Just beneath this dove at the jointure of the arches of the wreath, was pendant over the centre of the altar a beantiful marriage bell decorated with white lilies and magnolias. Hanging from the center of the church was a large chandelier veiled ‘in crystal moss, which glistened in the light like dew-drops scintillating in the morning sunbeams. There were other decorations pleasing to the eye, suitable to the occa- sion and gratifying to the taste. The ceremony was to take place at six o'clock. The party came in at half past six, in the following order: First walk- ing down the left isle, while Miss Helen Jones poured forth from the organ the music of Mendlesohn’s wedding march, came Miss Norah Thompson of Wilming- ton and Mr. E. R. Simons of Richmond county, next down the right hand isle tions as wish to have worship in it in . a FP ee a m See) bee , > , 2 For they had not long been resident in this sunny and charming valley, the very spot for luxurious and idle life, than these self-denying monks procured the estab- lishment, within their walled enclosure, of a nunnery, over which an abbess nom- inally presided, but with the provision that the provost of the monastery was also to be the superintendent of the nun- nery. At first the number of nuns was limited to forty, but the number was gradually increased until it included more than three hundred. ‘The nuns were ad- mitted to the Order of St. Augustine, by an easy modification of the rules. So the monks and the nuns became substantially ope order, and living within the same en- _ closure, and exempt from all intrusion or control, they had things their own way fora series of centuries. To what ex- tremities of evils such an institution, in such a series of years, would grow, it is more easy to imagine than to portray with a modest pen. The monastery was by-and-by placed by the Pope of the period under the protection of the Em- pire, and afterwards it was given to the city of Berne, with exemption from all taxes and endowed with great reve- nues. The lands that paid tribute to the monastery was farmed by the peasantry, and they resented the hard taxes they were compelled to pay. This brought on wars, in which the valleys of the Grindel- wald, Lauterbrunen, and Interlaken were made red with the blood of a people re- sisting unto death the grinding exactions of these pampered and dissolute monks, who had the law and government on thei side. These anti-rent wars were fearfully bloody and cruel, and always ended in the triumph of the monks and the tempo- rary submission of the peasants. Vast as the income of the monastery was, the prodigality of these rapacious and luxurious monks were so great that they were always living beyond their revenue, and incurring heavy debts They spent the money in riotous living, until the scandal ef their lives became an offense to the Church and the State, in a period when morals were low enough in both, and neither was very fastidious. It was said that more children were born in the nunnery than in the whole valley around it. None of them, however, lived. Twice the division wall had been destroy- ed by fire in consequence of the revels to which the inmates abandoned themselves. Official visitations were made, but so ~ powerful had the order become, that it easily defied the authority of a distant Bishop. Then the civil government took hold of it, and reported the terrible state of things to the Court of Rome, and the Pope issued a Bull telling the naughty monks to behave themselves better. They said they would, but they did not. at last, in 1484, the Pope took all the nuns _ @Way, and made over part of the revenues And of Preedag ts ety twratag. ¢ aS = 27 = © Car Se a lord of Unspunnen sought to constrait his sister to take the veil at the eonvent. The brother would thus get half of her fortune, and the convent the rest. But the noble woman knew too well the re- pute of the institution, and scorned to be- come a member ef such a sisterhood. Yet such a pressure was brought to bear upou her, that she was led to the alter where she was to take the vow, when, preceiv- ing a remarkably handsome young man among the spectators, sho remembered the law of the land which permitted the means of escape that she now embraced. She turned to him and offered him her band in marriage. He had long looked on her with yearning heart, and was swift to accept the offer. They were married without delay, and the lovely iaiden, Elizabeth of Scharnachtul, now the happy bride of Thomas Guntschi, of Matten, was saved from the rascally monks. Their descendants still live in the Oberland. IREN X£US. ae The furnace of affliction shows upright real faith to be such indeed, remaining still the same even in the fire, the same that it was, undiminished, as good gold loses none of its quantity in the fire. Doubtless many are deceived in time of ease and prosperity, with imaginary faith and fortitude: so that there may be still some doubt, while a man is underset with outward helps, as riches, friends, esteem, &c., whether he leans upon those or upon God, who is an invisible support, though stronger than all that are visible, and is the peculiar and alone stay of faith in all conditions. But when all these outward props are plucked away from a man, then it will be manifest whether something else upholds him or not; for if there be nothing else, he falls: out if his mind stands firm and unremoved as before, then it*s evident he laid not his weight upon these things which hahad then about him, but was built upon a foundation, though not seen, which is able alone to stay him, although he had not only been frustrated of all other supports, but beaten upon with storms and tempests; as our Savior says the house fell not, because it was founded on a rock.—Leighton. > PIonEER Liprary.—Some objected to assist in organizing a circulating library in town, thinking it to be impossible to keep the books together; but after all these months of its existence not a book has been lost—they are either in use by some member or on the shelves of the li- brary. The citizens of this community they can make a selection from five hun- dred books, and read as many as they wish, for the small price charged, which is expended for new books.—Lenoir Top- te.

The bride who was dressed in pure white silk, with wreaths of orange blossoms around her skirt and on her veil and a coronet of orange buds on her brow, came in leaning upon the arm of the groom. The ceremony of the wedding was then performed by the Rev. J. A. Cunninggim assisted by the paster, Rev. S. D. Adams, and the blessing upon the happy pair was pronounced by the Rev. T. M. Jones, D.

The bride and groom then retired down the left hand isle of the church, having approached the altar on the right band, the attendants passing each other front of the altar and leaving the chureh yby the opposite isles in which they came, while the organ pealed forth the harmon ies of the nuptial mareh.

An Exciting Encounter with a Bear anda Narrow Escape. Parties who arrived here on the steam- er D). Murchison, yesterday morning, bring news of quite ap exciting adventure with a bear, which took place in the vicinity of Alligator Swamp, about thirty-six miles below Fayetteville, on Saturday last. It seems that the farmers in that neighbor hood bad been missing a great deal of corn for some time past, and during the late rainy season the tracks of bears were fre- quently seen, which indicated that they were the thieves. Some of the neighbors organized a hunting expedition on the day mentioned, with the view, if possible, of exterminating the nuisance. They salli- ed forth and soon got upon the -trail of three of the troublesome “varmiuts,” one of which was finally discovered and brought te the ground by a discharge from the weapon of one of the party. Mr. Julius Faircloth, the lucky marksman, proceeded to the spot where the bear had fallen, and was bending over the animal, knife in hand, in the actof plunging it into his throat, thus “making assurance doubly sure,” when Bruin suddenly raised himself upon his haunches and seized Mr. Faircloth by the arm, throwing him upon the ground, where he held him securely, and bad bitten him severely in the head, when the dogs opportunely came to the rescue, and Mr. Faircloth was relieved from the deadly embrace of the monster and made bis escape. Bruin subsequent- ly received a finishing touch at the hands of Mr. Faircloth, and his carcass, upon be- ing weighed, was found to turn the scales at two hundred and forty-six pounds. Mr. F.'s friends were not at hand during the fearful struggle, nor ‘in at the death,” bat had occasion shortly afterwards to congratulate their companion in the chase on his narrow eseape and ultimate victo- ry over the thievish and revengeful beast. — Willmington Star, The great Minnesota farmer, Mr. Dalrymple, cultivates 9,000 acres of wheat, ones.

The Republicansiin the Seus bs i agress avail es and objectiog to the ada of the Lonisiang Sevatote to the lea United Sj oa Rohe, that body which the people of the State eastore, C,, for. gigantic have eleeted them. A long and obstinate contest js kept yr beth againgt Spofford and Bustis, Kellog was elected by the Packard Legislature in January last, and was duly accredited by the Packard gov- ernment as the Senator elect, But the Packard government was a fraud, and fel] to pieces the moment the troops were withdrawn from the State. Nichols, it thus appeared, was the true Governor, elect ; and the Legislature which after- wards formed under his quthority, the true government of the State. This bedy elected Spofford, and all the necessary forms of law were fally complied with tq certify the fact. Now thaquestion in dis- pute in the U. 8. Senate is, which of the two is entitled to the seat, Kellog or Spofford. It is contended by the Repub- cans that Ke}log's credentials comply ex, actly with all the forma of laws, évin to the broad seal of the State, and that prima facie, he is the true Senator; and that the subsequent election of Spofford does not invalidate his claim. Eustis’ seat is contested on slightly different grounds by Pinchback, the lat- ter having been elected by what is known as the Kellog Legislature of 1872-73. Eustis was elected by what is known in Lonisiana as the Wheeler or compromise Legislature at a subsequent date. The credentials of Pinchback were presented and referred to the proper Congressional Committee.and led to a discussion that lasted nearly four years. The credentials of Mr. Eustis were presented in Jan. 1876, and on the Ith referred to the Commit- tee on Privileges and Elections. On the 28th of the same month that Committee reported adversely to the right of Eustis, alledging there was no yacaucy, Pinch, back having been elected befare him to the same term; and recommended that the papers relating to Kustis be laid upon the table. But afterwards the Senate de- cided that Pinehback had not been elect- ed, and so his case was settled. That de- cision created a vacancy and Mr. Eystis comes forward and claims that he is en- mem forging and countorfeiting tpbayco stamps on tobaeco mannfactured and shiped by | an them fh violation of the internal reyenue laws.

That vight the consterpation of the offenders wag great, fpr they had been led to believe that an pprangement for their “general amnesty” j:yd heen or would be effeeted, the department at Washington having been deluged with pe- titions in their favor from all parts of the State, ne lesa than seventeen thoasand persons, jt is apid, having sigved their petitions. Qn Friday morning the de- fendapts, foarteen in namber, against whom there were twenty-eight cases, ap- peared in Court, and through their coun- tel pleaded guilty to all the indictments against them. The vigorous opeuing of the prosecution the évening before had completely demoralized them, and they hoped by an unconditional submission to secure consideration from the Court, on whose mercy they had thrown themselves. After requiring competent bail for their appearanoe, the Court snapensled sentence until the next term. The penalties affixed by law to the of. fences to which they pleaded guilty are $500 to $5,000 fine and three years im- prisonment. The names of those plead- ing guilty are Jeremy R. Gilmer, R. E.

They haye established a corps of able correspondents with members in every county of the State, and last, find- ing it necessary ip order to campupicate with the farmers throughout our borders, haveestablished the “Farmer and Mechan- ie” as their organ for that purpose.

Now, not- withstanding Pinchback is out ef the way, and the long continued vacancy in the Senatorial representation, of Louisiana, the Republicans are fighting against the admission of Mr. Eustis, for no other rea- son, as it would seem, than the dread ofen- dangering their partizan control of the Senate, The case of Kellog and Spofford is now by resolution of the Senate, in the hands of the Committee on Privileges and Elec- tions. Both are appearing before the Committee, Kellog by counsel, and Spof- ford supporting his own claim. The Republicans evidently intend to fight itout to the bitter end. With a vast popular majority against them, and ap- parently blind tothe signs of the times, and especially to their reeent overthrow ip the great State of Ohio, they show no signs of waverjng in Congress, and concede noth- ing on witnessing the benign effects of the President's just policy towards the South. In short, they have so long elutched the South by the throat and compelled her to obey orders, that they have come to think it is right, and are utterly nnwilling to relinquish their hold. —__.-— NORTH CAROLINA FRUIT DISPLAY AT THE STATE FAJR, (Raleigh Observer's Report.)

During the past summer he had opportunities to as- certaly the yiews of the Republicans not only of New York, but in all parts of the country, and that the feeling was such that, had not this been pursued, it would have cost the Republicay party thousands of votes. — - <m- - —.— “Fifteen States have ye} to hold elections this fall.

He has traced the course of the Congo river and found that it was identical with the Lualaba, which was seen at one point by Livingstone. This Congo river is found to be a great navi- gable stream, reaching eastward beyond the centre of the continent. It is the Mis- sissippi or Amazon of Africa, and is the key to the cammerce of a vast region of productive country.—Halifax (Nova_Sco-. tia) Recorder. ae A FREAK OF NATURE. There is, in Watauga county, N. C., near the dwelling house of Fredrick Shook, on Dutch Creek, a flourishing oak tree of vigorous growth the leaves of which when they burst forth from the bud in the Spring are of a bright golden yellow color, and retain this color during their whale growth and maturity. In autumn, when the coming frost dies the other forest leaves in the wavy brilliant hues, which give such wonderful beauty to the mountain sides, the leaves on this remarkable tree begin at length te turn green, adapting as its own the fresh tint which is just de- parting from the others,—What a '!orious tree its would have been in old Rome, where it leaves would haye been twined into the oak garlands whieh crowned the victors’ brows! Could not Viek, Briggs, J. Van Lindley or some other enterprising purserymen make a handsome speculation by grafting and introducing it as an orna- mental tree? The rare and beautiful col- or of these leaves is not the result of any disease or injury to the tree, as may be seen by its healthy appearance and thrifty | growth —Piedmont Press.

This probably results in part from the in- crease of the tax under the amended char- ter, which anthorizes the taxing of per- sonal property as for county and State purposes. The increase from this cause in some cases exceeds 33} per cent. on the amount collected last year. We are not advized as to the aggregate amount of assessed taxes for town pur- poses this year, but it will probably be much larger than beretofore. It is a mat- ter of some importance that the financial affairs of the town shall be managed with sufficient clerical skill as to show clearly and satisfactorily, and as much in detail as possible, the various sources of revenue as well as the subjects of disbursements. It is hardly sufficient that the Treasurer should acknowledge the receipt of money from the tax collector without stating from what subject it comes. It will be more satisfactory to show the amount raia- ed on real estate, the amount on personal property, the amount on polls, merehant tax, licenses, concerts, and all the various | of The disbursement account is more important still, and should exhibit as much in detail as practicable the subjects of outlays.

[Wilson Advance.) As predicted by Governor Hampton, the first movement to disfranchise the ne- gro, comes from the North. It is now se- riously proposed by Northern Radicals to reduce the representation in Congress by disfranchisement of the colored voters. They claim as representation in Congress is based on the voting population, the present House of Representatives would not be under Democratic control bat for the fact that the negroes are allowed to vote. They have discovered this fact af- ter the negro vote has passed from under the influence of the carpet-bagger. As long as they could be manipulated by Radical demagogues, it was a good thing for them to vote, but nov, when the South sends up almost a solid Vemocraric dele- gation to Congress, the negro vote is un- profitbale and cannot be endared. The white people of the South opposed placing the ballot in the hands ef the ne- groes immediately after their emancipa- tion, not from any hostility to the negro, bot because of their ignorance and incom- petency, and the danger of their being controlled by bad men to the detriment of the country as they have been in the South.

I again retired, like Cineinnatus, to the sacred soil. I live ‘‘off the road,” and have consequently no news to tell, and uever hear any. Having ‘readjusted” mysclf, lam not greatly concerned about readjusting the public debt nor anything else. If the creditors of the State can stand the existing arrangements I think I can also. I don’t wish the taxes on realty to be raised, however, for they are already too heavy for me—being at least tivice the amount usually stated in the discussion of the State’s tinances. I pay the county treasurer annually pot merely 50 cents on the $100 of the assessed value of my land, but at least 1U0 cents. This, of course, includes the county tax, the district-school tax, &c., as well as the State tax. If, however, | calculate these aggregate taxes as imposed upon that portion of my land which affords me no iucowe or profit, then lam paying eight per cent. per annum in taxes! I believe, too, that this enormous impost is practically in operation all over Virginia, and that but few counties can be claimed as exceptions. I kuow that you tell me to sell. But I can only an- swer by asking you to buy—for there is no other purchaser in the market. I must hold the Jand or throw it away. I prefer to keep it, in hope of a better day. But I did not start eut to say even so wuch about public affairs, having ‘‘doffed the world aside and bid it pass.” Louga believer ip the following lines, I have come bere to test their truth; ‘Happy the man whose wish and care A few paternal! acres Lound ; Content to breathe bis native air In his own grouna, Whose herds with . i k, whose fields with bread. Whose flocks supply him with a‘tire; Whose trees in sum:uer yigld Lim ghade, ia winter, file.” So far my experience hag met with ma- ny unexpected difficulties.

The railroads have demoraliz- ed our whole yeomanry and peasantry by bringing them into too easy and too fre- uent contact with the cities and towns. ea the rosy-cheeks that once marked the boys and girls of our farms (if we may believe tradition) are now ‘“‘sicklied o’er” by sallowness due to persistent efforts to live in the country as people are under- stood to do in the city. The freshness and bloom, the innocence and simplicity, formerly ascribed to the pred a poy have vanished, to be clumsily tawdi- ly replaced by fashionable affectations, pa- I will let it go now e’en as it will. all, the rural sooster still has virtues of retains some confidence ia his felliows; he does not crow so much nor so loud as his city brother, and he “goes to meetin’” whenever he can. He gets up later and lies down later than of yore, but is still behind the city cock in these particulars ; and although he works. harder, he does not work so rapidly nor so steadily as the city cock. In fine, notwithstanding the railroads, the rural rooster is slow, while the city cock is fast. The city chicken is always in a harry ; the rural one, never. But I hear the mail train coming, and I must close. CecIL. A Destructive Fire. New York, October 20.—A dispateh received here from Portland, N. B., says: “A fire burned about two hundred houses, chiefly occupied as residences of the work- ing classes. The loss is estimated at $200,000.

Horah, where he received tie kiadest and tenderest attention of the family. He received the medical attention of Drs. Summerell and Whitehead, of the masonic fra- ternity, and of many friends, but in spite of itall he died, and as we believe, he died in the Lord, far from home and among strangers, but among Christians, in a kind Christian family, and was buried by Chris- tan hands and with masonic honors, W.

It represents a Confeder- ate soldier after the war a to his home, which he finds ruined by shot and shell, looking lonely and desolate. In front of the ruined cottage, telling a sad tale of tue miseries of war, are two —— with rude crosses, on one of which some riendly hand has bung a garland. The graves are overhung by a weeping willow, in the shadow of which stands the returned soldier with bow- ed head, as If eee of the To right the calm river and ng moon indicate peace and rest. The stars seen through the trees repre- sent the Southern Cross, dra embiem of the Confederate ag as well asa in- ger of brighter days to come. The flood of glorious moonlight streaming through the trees and refiect- ing on the ‘ful river adds to the sentiment and beauty of the scene and its surroundi No de- scription of this gem of art will doit justice—it must be seen.

Brown of Ga., endorse a medicine for the throat and Jungs, and when they do it i- pretty good evidence that the remedy must be good for the cure of coughs, colds and lung af.- fections.

THE reason why onlv one sample bottle of Merrev’s HEpatTINeE for the Liver will be sold to the same person, for ten cents, by our Drug- gist, Theo. F. Kluttz is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepatine into this country ; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough afterall for a medicine that cures dys- peysia and liver complaint. All who have not had s sample bottle are entitled to one for ten cents at Theo. F. Kluttz’s Drug store.

V.- Our guide Ulrich seemed to know every- pody who lived in the valley through which we had just passed, and seeing that [ was interested in his stories, he was about to tell me about LITTLE RUBI THE WOOD CARVER, when the rest of the party reached us. We all dismounted and accompanied the guides into the grotto whieh had been cut ‘ some distance into the Grindlewald gla- cier. The dog followed us in of orersts be was.auch a great.fellow, and took t much room, that he was quite crow against the icy wall, for the grotto was not very commodious, and there were a number of travellers who had come to see it. The ice, where the light shone through was of a beautiful sea green tint, and looking up, one might think the whole ceiling Was one magnificent emerald. The cool air within was delightful, but not quite healthful to those coming from the August warmth without, so we did not remain long in the grotto, especially as Ulrich’s dog began to push his way through the crowd to get out. It was no new sight to him, although, wise dog as he was, he seemed disposed to appreciate our admiration as something which might be expected in a place to which his master had led us. When we had mounted our mules again, Ulrich pointed out the three gigantic mountains southward, which he told us were the Eiger, the Mettenberg, which forms the base of the Schreckhorn, and the Wetterhorn. Two glaciers lie between these mountains; near the upper one lies the bridle path to Meiringen. ‘There,” said the guide, “lives Rubi the wood car- ver, of whom I was about to tell you.” “Tell me about him by all means,” I said. So Ulrich began the story. “Christen, the father of Rubi, was a guide; if you have ascended the Metten- berg some years since you may have seen him. Have you been there ?” No, we had not; then Ulrich went on with his story, but not until he had risen in his saddle to point out with the end of his whip which way you started for your laborions six hours of ascent. He very enthusiastic, and began to expatiate upon the wonderful scenery to be found there, the view of the Sehreckhorn and the Finsteraarhorn, of the Grindelwald valley and the Eismeer. ‘It takes you only an hour,” he said, ‘‘to cross the Eis- meer (sea of ice;) then you reach the chalet of Zasenberg, a rude stone cottage in the pasture lands, the last among the giants of the Bernese Alps. ‘There among the huge masses of ice you can take in one view the grand hights of the Eiger, the Schreckhorn, the Viescherhorn, and oth- ers. The whole journey can be accom- plished ia five or six hours, Christen used to say, if you go right through.” I wish you could have seen how enthu- siastic Ulrich became as he spoke of the grand scenery of Switzerland. the guides were stupid, heavy-looking men, who seemed blind to the natural beauties around them. Not so Ulrich. In his enthusiasm he quite forgot about the story he was to tell until I reminded him of it. “Oh yes, surely; well, as I was about to say, Christen had two sons, Jo- seph, a handsome young fellow, who was a guide like his father, and poor deformed little Rubi. ‘Poor Jad,’ his father would say, ‘he will always be a burden to us, he is so lame and so misshapen. I wish he was like our Joseph, but alas! he is so ugly and so helpless.’ Rubi cried when his father spoke so reughly of him, but his mother wiped his tears with her coarse apron and said: ‘Never mind, poor boy. Iwill buy you something nice the next time I go down to sell my lace,’ for she used to make lace and sell it to the fine ladies who went by in the diligence. “So one day she bought him a wooden toy representing a goat, carved by Pete, who lived along the Black Lutscine, and who made his living by doing such work. “Rubi thonght the goat was not as nat- ural as it might be; its head seemed too small, and its legs too long, but he did not say so to his mother, for although he was only a deformed little Swiss boy, he had finer feelings than some better folks, and he was very thankful to his mother for her kindness, although he did not think much of his present as a work of art. ‘He kept constantly looking at the ill- shaped goat, and wondering if he could not carve if he should try. “He was so persistent in asking that finally his mother got the necessary tools for him, and he not only succeeded, but he soon became very expert. He worked daily in his father’s absence. He would often say, ‘Dear mother, if I can be as good a wood carver as some have been, then I should not be a burden to you.’ “¢You are not a burden to me, Rubi,’ she would reply; ‘you are the comfort of my life; then his mother would kiss him; and thus these two seemed dearer to each other for the very helplessness of poor Rubi and his dependence upon her love. One cold autumn day Christen and Jose Were near the deep gorge between the Jungfrau and the Wengernalp, and they Were caught by a.severe storm. Oh! what storms those Oberland giants can get = among themselves. “The Meench and the Eiger know how grew Some of to bluster and confuse a poor traveller. ' “Christen was brought home with a bro- ken leg, trying to save Jose who fell. “**There will be.no one to support you now,’ groaned the father; ‘that poor, belp- less Rubi will be more of a burden than ever, and you, the mother, will get blind over your lace work if you have to sup- port us all.’ **Not so, father,’ cried Rubi; ‘I havea little money here I have saved up. Take it, use it, it isall yours.’ The father did not know how the boy earned the money; he thought it had been the gift of some traveller who had taken compassion upon the poor deformed lad. “The money which had been paid from “| time to time at the way side t purchased Kubi’s carvings was soon ex- hausted, because it was only pedestrians who used that mountain path, and Rubi had little chance of selling his work. Then how hard the poor mother had totoil, and Rubi cried every night to think that he was only a burden, and could not support his mother as he hoped. “One day there were footsteps heard without, and in came Hottinger the rich dealer in carved work. In his hand he held a delicate carving of a chamois climb- ing over the rocks. ‘Does the bey who carved this live here?’ he asked. ‘¢4No,’ said the father from his bed in the corner, ‘no one lives here but my wife and I, and that poor, helpless creature yonder. If only my handsome Joseph had been spared he could have showed | you, sir, the road over to Meiringen; it is there, | suppose, the man who carved youder piece.’ “ ‘No, father, no,’ cried poor Rubi; ‘it is I who carved yonder piece.’ “ ¢You,’ exclaimed the father, ‘sir, the boy must have gone crazy. He never carved a thing in his life. Alas! is that to be added to my misfortunes? Is the boy to be an idiot like Jose Horner’s chil- dren over at Brienz?’ and he looked at broken leg and groaned, while the tears ran down his cheeks. “<It is very strange,’ said Hottinger, ‘for the man of whom I bought this teld me that the boy who lived here carved it, and I have come to order some more work of him.’ “The mother was not at home, but had gone to sell her lace, and the father would He thought Rubi Was getting crazed, or idiotic, as so many of the Swiss are, and he would not allow not listen to his son. any orders for copies of the carving to be left with them, for, as he he would not cheat the thinking that the orders would be tilled. “As you see, Christen was a very straightforward fellow, stupid and very obstinate one. honestly said, merehant into hon- but a very Hottinger left to look elsewhere for the artist; hobbled eut of the chalet after him. “¢Q sir, please, Lam not an idiot. Fa- ther tires of tee sight of me because I am ugly and misshapen. I am not like hand- some Jose my brother, but I did, sir, I did carve the piece in your hand;’ Rubi cried from the very excitement and est, Rubi and then eagerness to make the merchant beliwve Bat his trembling occasioned him, tears and his twitching and by his ear- nestness did not make his appearance and the convineed that the more man father was right and the child was out of his He thought that the chamois could never have beea the prepossessing, was only the more beautiful work mind. of that miserable, deformed boy. “While still the child sat on the road- side crying as if its heart would break the disappointment, he mother coming up the mountain path in the distance. from saw his “Then his eagerness to keep the mer- chant until she should come manner wore crazy knew that if his mother reached there be- fore the merchant left, she could tell him that it was he who had done the beautiful carving. made his than before, for he “Poor Rubi caught the merchant by the arm, but it was not hard to shake off a child so deformed. “Then he put both arms around the merchant’s leg so that he could not free himself without hurting Rabi. The mer- chant looked angry, and the poor boy re- leased his hold and threw himself flat upon the grass with such a sad and _ piti- ful cry that the merchant stopped to look at him. But it seemed as if the child’s heart was broken, and he did not even offer to pick up the little copper coins the merchant threw down before him. It seemed as if the last hope of getting work was gone, and all his dreams of helping tv support his mother were over. He must always be the poor, helpless burden that he had been. “The merchant was so touched by the look of deep distress on the face of the boy that he could not leave him, and be- fore he had made up his miud as to what he should do, Rubi’s mother came up. “She confirmed what the poor little cripple had said. Yes, Rubi had indeed carved the work that was so much admir- ed. “The mother was so proud to hear her poor little cripple praised that she raised him up tenderly in her arms and said: ‘He will yet get work to do like the work- men in the great cathedral.’ ‘Oh, no, mother,’ he cried, ‘no one will trust in me, no one believes in me, only you mother. I had thought to earn some- thing to help you. Bat I shall be always a burden. The gentleman spurned me; SALISBURY.

A letter from Siam to the World thus describes a scene at an exhibition given by some native jugglers : “That is Norodom,” whispered Woun- Tajac in my ear. Another actor now came whom I recognized to be the tall athlete, Tepada. Behind him came a smaller man, whose name, Woun- Tajac informed me, was Minhman, and a boy, probably twelve years old, called Tsin-ki. These four began some of the most wonderful athletic exhibitions that can be conceived.

When the robe was lifted again a fox was in place of the snake. The fox’s head was cut off, two robes borrowed, and when they were raised there was a wolf, which was killed with a sword. Three robes, and a leopard appeared; it was slain with a javelin. Four robes covered a most savage-looking buffalo that was killed with an axe. Five robes covered in part, but not altogether, a lordly ele- phant, which, when the sword was point- ed against him, seized Minhman by the neck and tossed him violently up. He mounted feet foremost, and finally clung by his toes to the capital of one of the columns. Tepada now leaped from the stage and alighted upon the elephant’s shoulders. With a short sword he goaded the beast on the head until, shrieking, the unwiedly animal reared apon his hind feet, twined his trunk about one of the great columns, and seemed trying to lift itself from the ground and wrap its body around the great pillar. The music clash- ed out barbarously, Norodom flashed forth a dazzling firework of some sort, and the elephant had disappeared, and Tepada lay upon the stage writhing in the folds of a gttat boa constrictor, and holding up Minhman upon his feet.

First the boy, then Minlbman, then Tepada, tried to arrest her, but they no sooner touched her than she repelled them with a shock that thrill- ed them as if she had imparted an electric spark to them. Spinning constantly, with a bewilderingly-rapid motion, the girl now sprang off the stage and down the hall, along by the foot of the columns, Tsin-ki, Minhman, aud Tepada in active pursuit.

Tepada and Noro- dom commenced to unwind this wrapping, tight. Yard after yard was unwound and folded away by Minh- man, and at last, after at least 100 yards of wrapping had been taken off, the dry, shrivelled mummy of an old man was visible—eyes closed, flesh dry and hard— dead and dry as a smoked herring. No- rodom tapped the corpse with the crow- bar, and it gave a dull, Wooden sound. Tepada tossed it up and caught it; it was stifasalog. Then he placed the mummy upon Norodom’s kuees and fetehed a flask of oil, a flask of wine, and a censer burn- ing with punguent incense. Norodom took from his hair a little box of unguent, and prying open the mouth of the mummy with a cold-chisel, showed that the dry tongue could rattle like a chip against the dry fauces. He filled the mouth with an- guent and closed it, and anointed the eye- lids, nostrils aud ears. Then he and Te- pada mixed the wine aud oil, aud carefully rabbed every part of the body with it. Then, laying ic down in a reclining posi- tion, they put the burning censer upon the chest and withdrew a pace, while the drums, and gongs, and cymbals crashed and clattered, and the shrill, cackling treable of the chorus of old women rose hideously. A breathless pause ensued—one two, three minutes—and the mummy sneezed, sneezed thrice, so violently as toextinguish the flame ofthe censer.

DOMESTIC QUARRELS. (From the Danbury News.) It was at this season of the year just seven years ago, that an extraordinary scene occurred in Danbury. It was in the evening, and a couple were bringingin several pots of plants from the yard to save them from the frost which the tem- perature of outdoors threatened. While thus engaged she spoke, referring to a geranium she had in her hand : “T wouldn’t lose this one for a great deal, as mother gave it to me.” He looked at it. “Your mother give it you? Guess not. I bought that plant myself.” “Why, it’s no such thing.” “T tell you I did,” he added, speaking with warmth. “And I tell you you didu’t,” she firmly asseverated. “Do you suppose I don’t know what was given me ?” “Do you suppose I don’t know what I bought with my own money ?” “If you say you bought that geranium,” said she, speaking very slowly, and with white lips, ‘“‘you say that you know to be false.” “Do you mean to say that I lie?” he hissed. “If you say that, I do.” “Yon shall be sorry for this,” he threat- ened. “Never!” she retorted. He put on his hat and coat and left the house. That was seven years ago this fall. She never saw him again, nor heard from him in all that seven years. What must have been the thoughts, the agony of mind en- dured by the wretched wife in that time no one on earth knows. She kept her thoughts to herself and patient!y, as far as outward appearance went, bore the burden put upon her. On Friday evening of last week her door opened, and a man walked into her presence. There was a look, a ery, and she was in the arms of her husband. What a happy home was that. All the agony of the seven long years was forgot- ten in that hour of reconciliation and re- A hearty supper was spread, and with tears and smiles she hovered about him, ministering to every want. After supper there was a long talk of the past. “It is so singular,’ she said, speaking in one of the pauses, “that it should have happened as it did. I can searcely com- prehend it all. It seems like an awful dream. We both lost our tempers, and we have both suffered for it. The miser- able geranium! Do you know I can not bear to see one of those plants? I told mother to come and take it back, for I would not have it in sight.” “What!” he ejaculated; do you still persist in saying that she gave it to you ?” “Why, John, of course she did. Haven't you got over that idea yet ?” “No, I haven't,” he persisted, his face darkening. ‘I bought that geranium as sure as Iam a living man.” She thought of his years of cruel deser- tion, of all he had caused her to suffer be- union. cause of his obstinacy, and her heart hard- ened, and her face flushed. “You are mean to say that when you know it is false.” “It isn’t false ; it’s heaven’s truth.” “Tt’s po such thing; it’s a mean, con- teinptible lie. He jumped up from the chair, seized his hat and coat and shot out of the house in a flash, and she never uttered a word of protest. She sat there with clenched hands and white face, and let him go. And so he is gone. alone again, with the old burden and the old pain. —_—_——_—__ aor - Tom Evans hasn’t got much opinion of the average editor, in proof of which statement we present the following vigor- ous paragraph, which is from the Reids- ville Times, of this week: “But great Je- rusalem! the little sap heads, wild chil- dren, foolish men, and overgrown gawks, who are running about the country as editors! As suft as a gourd of soap, they are as cheap and as dirty to the profession, and the result is that the press to-day is a splendid, strong throne, whose sceptre is a despised plaything in the hands of any ‘big man’ or ‘big firm,’ who chooses to bribe, or to bully or court or to flatter its little, half-fool editor.” It was a Delaware wife who said, ‘my dear, if you can’t drink bad ceffee with- out abusing why is it that you can drink bad whiskey without abusing the | Sar keeper 1” And te-day she is; Si eee "From ibe Lutheran Visitor. ‘The Congregational Charch This deavenination takes its name ‘al its government, which rests in the congregation. It was planted on the shores of New England by the Pilgrims ; who, having fled from re- ligious persecution, desired to estal- lish a church wholly free in its gov- ernment. The Congregationalists differ very little from Presbyterians (New School) in doctrine little they differ ae < aa Anne tf and deacons as officers of the Church. Such an eminent scholar as Dr. Krauth maintains that there is no authority in the New Testament for the order of “elders,” and that the introduction of such an office into our Lutheran churches in America was purely acci- dental. 2. They hold local conferences, twice a year. These conferences are usually composed of about a dozen ministers and as many lay delegates. At these meetings, discussions of prac- tical and doctrinal questions are had, just as in our Lutheran conferences. The usual matters of business pertain- ing to these particular churches come up for consideration, but the confer- ence has no legislative power. 3. Next comes the general associa- tion in each State, which meets an- nually, and answers to our,district sy- nods. So far as I can learn, there is no material difference in the power exercised and the kind of business transacted by these two bediees; both are advisory. 4. In 1853 the American Congre- gational Union was organized. This body meets triennially, and is in all leading features like our general sy- nods. In the language of its consti- tution, the Union is *‘to do whatever a Voluntary association of individuals may do—in Christian discretion, and without invading the appropriate field of any existing institution—for the promotion ef evangelical knowledge and picty in connection with Congre- gational principles of church govern- ment.” The National Council met in Detroit October 17th. 5. The conference, association and National Council are advisory. Not one of them can legislate for a partic- ular congregation. It follows, then, that the congregation is the highest authority. In this respect our Church is Congregational. 6. Councils of churches are called to declare the opinion of the churches on any matter of common concern.— These usually consist of pastors and lay delegates, invited from several neighboring churches. ‘A council is to be called only by a church, or by an aggrieved member or members in a church which has unreasonably re- fused a council, or by a competent number of believers intending to be gathered into a church.” When a church refuses to call a mutual coun- cil, and ex parte council may be called by au aggrieved party. “Councils are constituted fur the communion of churches with each other, and not for government over the churches”; so that, after all, the decision of a coun- cil is only advisory. As with us, pastors are settled.-— What this meant a hundred years ago, may be learned from some fig- ures which I have gleaned from a “Historical Survey of Churches, 1776 -1876,” by Rev. I. N. Tarbox, D.D.: 1n 1776 there were 271 settled Con- gregational ministers in Massachu- setts. Of these, 223 remained in their places until death. One had a minis- try in the eame parish, or congrega- tion, of over 70 years; 21, over 60 years; 51, over 50 years; 66, over 40 years; 62, over 30 years; 24, over 20 years, and 46, under 20 years. The average period of ministerial service in one pastorate, in the whole list of 271 ministers, was a fraction less than 38 years. The changes are far more frequent now. I doubt whether any other church in any country can present such an array of long pasto- rates as the Congregational Church of | . Massachusetts one hundred years ago. In 1776, when the Congregational- ists had 289 churches is Massachu- setts, there were but 64 churches of | other denominations in the State.— one. that 1. They recognize only ministers ae 10, now | eel 12,0 é ans 4, now 15; Latheragh are credit- : ed with two. I gather till’ further ite the adopted » was “Sabba’-day "bouse?” about sixteen feet square, with a large chimney-and fire-place. During the intermissions: there was an opportu- nity for warming. May I not add, that it has not been practically conceived yet in some parts that a fire may be lighted in the house , of God ? Bass viols were formerly used in the church choirs. The parish of Barre passed a vote “that the bass viol be laid aside on communion and lecture days.” This was done in def- erence to an old gentleman, who could not enjoy the sacramental occasions when the “big fiddle” was about. It Seems very strange that the New England fathers did not have the Bi- ble read in the churches. They, per- haps, did not, simply because the Episcopal (Church of England) did. The Bible might be read, verse by verse, for exposition, but not other- wise in the churches. Although many of the town and city churches adopt- ed the practice of reading the Scrip- tures over a hundred years ago, yet it did not become general until the ear- ly part of the present century. Since the war the Congregational- ists have increased rapidly in the Northwest, and. also gained ground on the Pacific coast. The Church is seventh in the order of numerical strength, having a little more than half as many members as the Luther- an. In general education, benevo- lence and missionary enterprise Con- gregationalists stand first. The Amer- ican Board of Commissioners for For- eign Missions (A. B. C. F. M.), the American Home Missionary Society, the American Tract Society, and the first movements in behalf of sailors and ine the cause of temperance are due to Cougregationalism. The mem- bers of this Church are liberal con- tributors to these, and all other be- nevolent objects. Several weeks ago the A. B.C. F. M. held its annual meeting ih - Provi- dence, R. I. The reports showed that the board owed a debt of ,$48,- 000. Ex-Gov. Page, of Vermont, moved that steps be taken to pay the debt then and there. The motion was adopted, and in less time than an hour the whole amount was se- cured. Indeed, next day it was increased to over $51,000. Ex-Gov.” Page and Hon. Wm. E. Dodge, of New York, each gave $5000; two persons gave $2000 each; one, $1,500; sixteen, $1000 each ; and so it went on down to contribations of less than oné dollar. Of course, such amounts could not be similarly raised in some churches, because the members are not so wealthy. But the question is, whether in all the spirit is in propor- tion to the ability. What this Con- gregational board of missions is do- ing, may be learned from the follow- ing summary: Number of missions, 17; stations, 81; out-stations, 53° Whole number of laborers connectc.. with the missions, 1,563; of whom 151, including 7 physicians, are or- dained missionaries ; 7 physicians not ordained ; female assistants sent from this country, 227; native preachers, 125; preachers and catechiste, 255 ; native school-teachers, 522; churches, 256—with 13,435 members; training and theological schools, 16—with 551 students, aud 24,562 pupils in com- mon schools.

They reached eight hundred and forty-five. They might be classified into some half a dozen promi- nent subjects: The repeal of the resump- tion act; the remonetization of silver; the repeal of the bankrupt law; the abolition of the tax on tobacco by producers; the extention of the pension laws of the South; the repeal of the test oath, and gppropri- ations for works of internal improvements. Among the latter were bills appropriating three millions for the Mississippi levees, and one million for the Missonri river.

Lonpon, Oct. 27.—The Paris corres- pondent of the Timeg telegraphs that he believes that President MacMahon has fallen under the influence of those who are determined to resist the will of the nation, but the eabivet is divided about how far such resistance gught to be car- ried. The Duke de Groglie, President of the Council and Minister of Justice, Duke Delazes, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gen. B. Erthaul, Minister of War and Vis- count de Manx, Minister of Agriculture, might go as far as a second dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, but if the Sen- ate refused this they would resign.

A few days after the meeting of Con- gress, the District Court in Washington city was hearingthe case of Senator Joho J. Patterson, indieted for conspiracy and other criminal offences in South Carolina, and under arrest on a requisition from Governor Hampton as a fugitive from justice, when, asa Washington dispatch states, “‘the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Seu- ate appeared with an order for Mr. Pat- tersph’s appearance at the Senate Cham- ber to vote on an important question. The counsel on both sides held a short consultation, and they gave their consent for him to go, and he obeyed the summons.” A country is in a sad plight when the dominant party in the most august assem- blage known to its laws and Constitution recruits its ranks by drawing frem the dockets of the criminal courts. Mr. Pat- terson is under indictment for conspiracy to bribe the Legislature of South Carolina and for conspiracy to rob its Treasury, and is saved from trial for his crimes only by tion.

It has further been de- termined that the November meteors and the aphelion of their orbit is some- what beyond the planet Uranus. = Late investigations have pointed to the teors. The path of the meteors, for exam- ple, which are usually seen from August 9 to 14, coincides with that of the bright comet of 1862, and both Peters and Schi- parelli independently discovered some time ago that Tempel’s comet of 1866—a body visible only with the telescope—has eleménts which may be regarded as abso- lutely identical with those of the Novem- ber belt. It is net definitely known how- ever, what connection exists between the meteors, though it appears that thé latter have paths as eccentric as those of the cometic orbits, and hence it is deduced that the earth encounters no less than 56 systems, thus affording proof that the to- tal number of these systems in the uni verse must be estimated by billions. It will readily be scen that a knowledge of the elements of the-paths described by the meteors is of considerable astronom- ical importance. While, as already stated, the general direction or radiation is frour the constellation Leo, it has been observed that often on the same night mantiy dis- tinct centers of radiation may be traced. It is by the determination of these centers that the elements above referred to may be caleulated. Then by comparing the results with the elements of the orbits of known comets, it becomes possible to dis- eover which comets, by rapture, accor- ding to one theory, probably gave rise to the variens groups of shooting stars. Hence observations made with the naked two sovereign States of the representation the constitution guarantees them.

The mill’s of the god’s grind slowly but they grind exceedingly fine, when the ap- plication is made to the ex-officials of South Carolina. Noble little Carolina has been crushed, her citizens have been oppressed, and ber laws have been ignor- ed. The State was one of the last strong- holds of Radicalism. Carpet bag rule meant public plunder. Of all the officials who held sway in South Carolina previ- ous to the last election; and during Radi- cal reign, not one but is either a fagitive from justice, or isa condemed criminal.

Ex-Senator Sawyer is a convict; Senator Patterson is hiding from criminal indictments found by his own political party. Ex-Anuditor Nagle is a fugitive. Ex-Treasurer Parker is seeking to soften the rigors of the law by confessing against himself and associates. Ex-Governor Chamberlain trembles as the chain is be- ing welded about him. Verily, the-way of the transgressor is hard, It is stated by a traveler through the State who had been in the habit of visiting it frequently, that the good feeling which a change has produced in the Stato affairs isof such a marked character that one would hardly know that it was the same State. The |people have regained hope, and have | gone to work, aud undoubtedly will pres- per agnin as of yore.

Mil- ler has left at our office as fine a lot of Irish potatoes, grown from seed raised this springas we have ever seen from spring planting. They grew from seed acci- dently left in the ground when the spring Top was dug. Nor is this an isolated case. We know of several instances of the same kind, and it is probably general througbont this section. We advise gar- deners to try the “volunteers” which have Sprung up where the early potatoes were Planted. splendid, The Irish potato is a wonderful vegeta- ble any way: We have known it to sprout, bear small leaves and potatoes as large as marbles, in the crack of an old house 3 feet above the ground, with no earth to help it, but with the sun beaming upon it each day from 3 o’cock until night. We leave it for others to discover the utility of facts like this, but there is no doubt they are worth something. a -__ We haye tried Dr. Bull’s Cough . ave : gh Syrup 10 our family, and can assert that it fd the t remedy for a cough or cold e in- troduced. “Price 25 pohbs oa In our own garden they are His He has been | is body might be mentioned REV. JACOB DOLL, the stated clerk of synod. Of benignant }countenance and portly mould, with a | thorough knowldege of parliamentary us- | age and precedents in ecclesiastical bodies, | there is hardly any one more prominent | and useful in the meetings of synod, his | position as the stated clerk giving him of- ficial duties requiring his presence and at- | tention. REV. JOHN DOUGLAS, | of Steel Creek, in this county, was chosen | moderator. He is doubtless well kuown | to our readers, as one beloved and useful. | Of dignitied deportment and commanding presence, the type of the eld fashion geu- tleman, with suavity of manner and de- cision, he was well suited for the honor to | which he was elevated. REV. JOS. R. WILSON, D. D., the honored pastor of the First Presbyte- rian church in Wilmington, was a mem- ber of the synod. He was always heard with interest, and seemed to have an un- failing fand of humor, Dr. Wilson isa man of distinguished appearance and courtly mien, with tiuely chiselled features, land a face quite English. His sermon on Sunday morning, and his speeches in syn- od, were characterized by felicity of dic- tion and ease of manner. He has occupi- ed many prominent — positions the Church, as professor in various colleges and in Columbia Seminary, and as pastor of large and influential city churches. He is now the stated clerk of the Geueral As- sembly. REV. J. HENRY SMITH, D. D., did not occupy mucb of the time of synod, | yet is well known as one of the most faith- | ful and laborious pastors in the synod, |and one of the most effective preachers. | His charge is in Greensboro, and his church has vastly grown in numbers and influence since he has entered upon the work. Dr. Smith is very genial and en- tertaining in the social circle, and his so- ciety was very much sought. REV. NEILL MCKAY, D. D., in the synod. Possessed of a vigorous mind and with earnest and impetuous delivery, he always produced a striking impres- sion. REY. A. D. HEPBURN, D. D., President of Davidson College, made a most favorable impression, not by speech- making, for only once, and then solicited, did he make auy remarks, and that too, concerning Davidson College; but by his courteous demeanor and genial manner. Uuassuming and gentle when he appear- ed before his expectant audience, he seem- ed of such slight form and youthful ap- pearance, that there was a feeling of sur- prise and prepossession. But it was soon apparent that his high reputation was well deserved. There were some venerable ministers present, hoary and honored, who, though not entering into debate, were neverthe- less observed. Among them, Rev. T. N. Paxton, Rev. Hector McLean and others. There-was some disappointment felt that was one of the most effective speakers of woody fiber, which imposes upon the sys- | ; es | tem a large amount of extra mechanical | work both in the processes of digestion | and remastication—that, in brief, bulk in land that nutriment in food governs the condition and health of the animal, and that condensation of nutriment is trae economy. Mr. Miller has conducted phys- of the four stomachs of the cow, whence it appears that meal follows the same course as herbaceous food, while it also digests more thoroughly than when the energies of the stomach are divided be- tween meal and coarse herbage. Whatever may be the correct theory in this regard, results of actual practice ap- pear to bear out of Mr. Miller’s views. The report of a committee, appointed to examine into the system by the Western New York-Dairymen’s Association, shows the following facts: The examination was conducted upon Mr. Miller’s herd of Chatauqua county native cows, the aver- erage live weight of which was 900 Ibs. The herd were fed exclasively upon corn meal for seven weeks, each animal, ac- au average of about three quarts of meal per day for each cow. The animals did not ruminate, did not manifest so much desire for food as cows fed on hay alone in the usual way, a little less than they will eat, showed no signs of unrest or suffering; and at the time of going back to hay, the cows had neither lost nor gained flesh. After returning to hay, their stomaches filled and ruminating weut on normally, healthy ealves were dropped, and when turned to grass the animals took on flesh faster than those wintered in the usual way. Their daily yield of milk 29 lbs. 3 ozs., or 1 1b. 11 ozs. per cow more than that of any other herd sent to the same cheese factory. As regards the economy of meal feed- ing, Mr. Miller points out that one busbél of corn, ground and tolled, will last an ordinary sized cow of 900 Ibs. weight, 12 days; and is equal to 240 1bs, of hay. Corn at 60 cents per bushels is theretore the equivalent of hay at $5 per ton of 2,000 lbs., and where it can be had at that rate the cost of wintering the animal will range from $7 to $10, according to coldness and length of the foddering season. But hay as a rule costs at least $10 per ton, and frequently much more. Hence the esti- mated saving by meal feeding is placed at from $5 to $20 per animal, according to the respective prices of corn and hay.— Scientific American. _- The Cunard Company are constructing a new steamer to run between New York and Liverpool—the Gallia—of 5,000 tons, which will be built on a plan they intend to use on all new transalantic liners— namely, the carrying of several watertight bulkheads to a deck 5 feet or 6 feet above water line. The Gallia will have seven of these bulkheads, and will consequently be divided into eight watertight sections.

Astronomer Royal Smyth, of the Royal | Observatory, Scotland, says that the com- | ing wer is going to be exceedingly cold. From the observations of earth thermom- | eters over a period of thirty-nine years, he finds that between 1837 and 1876 three 'gveat heat waves from without struck | Great Britain; namely, the first in 1846-5, the second in 1858-0, and the third in |1868°7. The next one will probably |ecome in 1879-5, within limits of half a year each way. The periods of minimum ' temperature, or greatest cold, are not in lthe middle time between the crests of these threc heat waves, but are compara- tively close up to them, on each side, at a distance of about a year and a balf. Hence the next cold wave is due at the weather may be looked for.—Jb. en aagen es BETTER TIMES. The evidences that the hard times have spent their force and that a steady im- provement in all branches of business has begun, are now too plainly to be seen on every hand for the most despondent to doubt their existence. The last bugbear of the farmers, the fear that the corn would be ruined by the frost, has now ceased to alarm, as for the most part this crop is too far advanced to be seriously injured, even if cold weather should set in at once, as is not at all probable. As to the har- vests generally, they have pefbaps never before been equaled; so that the farmers are ensured a good return for their labors, the working masses are afforded food at moderate price’, and the great avenues of transportation are crewded with the east- ward flow of the harvests and return flow of the comforts and luxuries which are sent in exchange. As no small encoar- agement, we may mention also the fact that our national currency has reached end of the present year, and very frigid | ea Ee * freee teters aed ld having quoted the other day at less than 3 per cent—so that there is little fear of the by some in ease of specie fesumption.

So it puzzles me, John, To a sore degree, my boy, To know which side af it looks best; And sach is my doubt, John, Yd oft turn it out, my bey, If cloaks were worgiso by the rest, More ‘specially 80, John, Since the girls all go, my boy, With their bright plaids al! eut to view; Of a brilliant dye, Joho, As brisk and as spry, my boy, As if none else could do sa too, So I’m oft inclined, John, To show all the kind, my boy, Of goods that line my mantel through; or it seems to me, John, That when the girls flee, my hoy, That all hunds wish to get a view, Either at their plads, John, Or their shining heads, my boy; And which it is I will not say; But this much I know, John, That where e’er they ga, my boy, There'll be a bustle in that way, So to split this bother, John, Pll fold it aver, my boy, To let all eyes its beauties see; I throw wide the collar, Jahn, Then like a swallow, my boy, Let tail and tassel hath fly free.

Give him a lift} Don’t kneel in prayer, Nor moralize with his despair; The man is down, and his great need Is ready help—not prayers and creed ! *Tis time when the wounds are washed and healed That the inward motives be revealed ; But new, whate’er the spirit be, Mere words are but a mockery. The grain of aid just now is more To him than tomes of saintly lore; Pray, if you must, in your full heart Bat give him a lift!—give him a start. . The world is full of good advice, Of prayer of praise, of preaching nice ; But the generous souls who aid mankiud Are scarce as gold, and as hard to find. Give like a freeman—speak in deeds, A noble life is the best of creeds t And he shall wear a royal crown Who gives ‘em a lift when they are down. Louisville, Ky. - I. D. LSS THE FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS AS SEEN IN THE SENATE. (Olivia, in National Union, Rep.) Just as Davis, Slidell, Tooms, Benja- min and Wigfall gave a cortain color and tone to the Senate jn days af yore, the strong native blood of the South appears ut the aurface represented hy the fight- lng element of the late ‘ost cause.” A glance towards the Democratic region of statesmen shows the tall, state! y figure of Gen. Gordon, the successor of Stonewall Jackson jn the field, with eight scars on his handsome person, ta proye where the Union bullets haye been when they were put where they would do the most good, But these marks de not detract in the least from his beauty and usefulness. The soldier who accepts the conquered situa- tion and lays aside his sword, should make the best citizen, because cqurage and honor are ever befqre his eyes. In close proximity to Gen. Gordan may be seen other shining lights of Confederate fame, including Ransom, Hill, Morgan, Harris, Maxey, Cockerill, Garland and Lamar, Gen. Ransom surrendered on the field of Appomattox ; Gen, Morgan haga history in the anyale ef the oiv{l war; Maxey and Cockerill proved their courage in camp and battle, whilst Hill, Garland and Lamar will soon show the country what we are to expect from those who hail from the highest ranks jn Southern civil life. Brilliancy, and the small change of ready talent, so available in the **House,” is completely lost jn the Senate, where only the “heavy weights” haye any chance for distinction or pqwer, No more gor- rowfal sight has been sedn gince the Con- federate war than a carpet-bag Senator struggling in thp mental claws of an Ed- mands org Thurman. Que terrific blow from the proper paw has generally been suf- ficient to level most of these political mush - rooms—at least so far as Senatorial ‘‘gab” is concerned. The sight of lay figures in their seats, voting the ticket straight year after year, without question or remon- strance, is to usall. The retarn of the actual representative men of the - ‘| Destitute of the quality that would arro- a? - though our wounds are not completely healed, they have lost the general gan- grene form, and are entirely healthy in their character, The coming of auch mev as Lucius Q. C. Lamar to the Senate is the birth of a new era of Jove and good feeling, What are we going to do with a man composed of modesty itself, with 4 nature so broad that it would take all ore- ation to fence it in; with the finest cul- ture, and with natdral manners which no amoant of polish can improve? He may, or he may not wake a great Senator, but in either case he has universal woman- hood to erown him with laurels, and he seems to be willing to accept his fate. One of these sudden comets that some times dash across the political sky may be seen to occupy the chair of the late Senator Brownlow. It is Stanley Mat thews, famous friend of the President, an unfortanate sheep that ja said to have caused such a disaster to the Republican fold. The politicians who have not as- aailed the President, brought their arrows to bear upon his best beloved target, who now like dead Caesar, lies stretehed out in the home of his friends, whilst Ben Wade’s prestige ia rather increased thap diminished by his removal fram the Sen- ate, which shows that great men, like pre- cious jewels, loge nothing by the simplic> ity of the setting, Like the flaming carbunele ot Haw- thorne’s bewitching tale, the son of the great Pennsylvania chieftain adorns the brow of the Senate, the only man iu the Republi¢ who has come inte the posses- sion of a title by inheritance. In hia per- aon seems united the cald, haughty blood of the Bourbon and Hapsburg, with the same supernatural tenacity to hold with iron grip the legislative loaves and fishes, But his bitterest enemy can wish him no greater harm than bas been thrust upon by hs implacable sire. A glance at his mauly form and ce reveals the fact that he did not come into the possesion of the spectral rhinoceros hide that made his illustrious predecesor inyulnerable to the Damaacus blade of irony and sarcasm. gate the power to place his portrait in the mast prominent medallion ef a commit- tee room, he will go back to the wilderness of Pennsylvania after his brief Senatorial reign a sadder if not wiser person. When a man seeks ta find his intelleot- ual level, let him try his hand at book- making or smuggling himself, either by bo- nanza or other means, into a seat in the United Statea Senate, Behind the gorgeong boquet, with a face unruffiled as summer morn, sits James G. Blaine, his busy brain hard at work weav- ing the same subtle web as once cocoon- ed the soul of Nero, Alexander, Burr and ward sign of national regeneration; and , me kt taindeanhe “a: * , 2 Prof. Cooke, the hand performer, . exhibited to @ wondering audienee at Tucker Hall last evening, his unequaled powers asa magician. Upon the stage, ‘tho wooder cabinet with doors cloth covered, and a committee of six gentlemen of our city were requested ta come upon the stage and examine everything. ‘The fol- lowing gentlemen composed the commit- tee: Mesars. J, C, Blake, J, C, 8, Lams- den, E. Conklin, C. Weikel, Rev. Dr. Pritchard, and Hon. T. 8. Kengu, Slips of paper were distributed among the andience, who were requested to write any question upon them, and to keep the same antil called for, at a later stage of the performance. After a few feats of legerdemain, the Professor seated himself in a chair and permitted himself to be securely fastened thereto; his arms were run through twe hales in a board and then tied tightly at the wrist. He then seated himself in the cabinet and Misa Cooke closed the doors. In two or three seconda the doars were apened and the Professor appeared still bound bat in his shirt sleeves. While the cab- inet was closed, bells rang and hands ap- peared at an opening in front and at the top. He retarned inte the cabinet, and in a few moments stepped out unbound. The cabinet tie test next succeeded. Cords were placed in the cubinet, the Professor entered, aud in two or three minutes hands appeared at the opening. An instant after the doors were opened aud disclosed him securely bound. He was lifted out of the cabinet and tied again, four gentlemen pulling tightly the cord around his wrists. As soon as he was replaced in the cabinet a hand ap- peared, which Dr. Pritchard attemped_ to grasp, whenever he reached for it, it “wasn’t there.” The Professor now in- vited a gentleman to step into the cabinet and turn his back to him. Our beaming friend, Weikel, took the position, and as soon as the doors were closed bells were rung all around him and he was slapped on the back. The “‘Hindas Test” cosed the evenings exhibition. A sack was placed over the head of a performer, he was put in the cabinet and tied up. In a moment after the daors closed, hands appeared, the bag was thrown out, and he stepped out. He was then securely handcuffed, the ouffs being furnished by our chief of Po- lice, but after a few minutes stay in the cabinet he stepped eut free.

This was the Pope who astonished the Cardinals who had elected him, under the impression that he was a tottering, bent old man, by throwing away his crutch, raising himself to his fall height, and “intoning” a hymn in a strong bass voice as soon as he was elected. His re- ply to some one who ventured to speak to him of his greatly changed appearance from the days when he was a cardinal is well known: “Ay! Then I was looking for the keys of Paradise, and sought them with bent back and downward look. But now that I have found them I look heav- enwurd, and have have no more need of anything on earth.” And on that same day of his elevation, what had beed’ the habit of previous Popes to throw open the prisons, he refused to do so, saying that there were more than enough malefactors at large, and caused two brothers, caught in doing a little highway robbery as they returned from Rome, where they had been to see the ceremony of his installation, to be forthwith hanged. In a very short time he made it safe to walk the streets of Rome with a pocket full of gold at any hour, whereas the city and the environs had been before so overrun by bandits of every sort that robbery in the streets of the city wasa daily occurrence. He made winutes, at the end of which the curtain rose, revealing Miss Cooke reclining on a lounge. To all appearances the lady seemed to be in a trance. The professor Napoleon. Superb in his intellectual ca- pacity, nothing is needed but proper cul- tivation ; polished and elegant to the last degree, if he would only plant, water and prune his Senatorial garden he would find the returns a sufficient reward for his pains. Whilst there is material enough in him, if energetically developed, to make might become a little thin. Who would not rather be a great Senator than a small President. When the Executive is called to diyide himself in such a way that forty milljons of people are each to have a share, the fragments become so small that an individual atom assumes gigantic size if used with the hope of comparison. Among the remarkable ‘heavy weighta,” both physical and intellectual may be seen Judge Davis, who left the Supreme Bench for a senatorial career. During the exci- ting days of the electoral tribunal the eye of the whole country was fixed npon this man, and it may he safely said at that time the political fate of the nation seem- ed suspended from his bands. History will record that Judge Davis sat down on Sam Tilden, by this sorrowful performance the Republican party seized the crown. OLIvia. ~bo——_——__ Hayes’ Policy in Massachusetts. On the 19th inst. there was a citicens’ Hayes indorsement meeting held at Holy- oke, Mass. President Seelye, of Amherst College, made the leadjng speech, The following resolutions were passed ; Resolved, That we rejoice in the succees that has attended the efforts of President Hayes in promoting and securing peace- ful and harmonious relations between the people of the North and South; that we gladly bury forever all animosities of the past, and extend to our fellow-citizens of the South cordial greetings, congratu- lating them that now they are permitted to exercise the rights of sovereign States of the Union. Resolved, That we heartily approve the policy and actions of President Hayes to secure to the people a genuine civil ser- Vice reform, so that now and always hon- esty and capacity, and not partisan service, shall be the test of fitness for appoint- ment to office, fully indorsing the motto, “He serves party best who serves the country most,” Resolved, That the industrial and com- mercial interest of the country are now of the highest importance, and they should receive from all the departments of the Government every encouragement in theiy power; that our commerce may be reviv- ed and extended ; that labor, not less than papital, may receive jts just reward, and the better time now dawning upon ug so i ne may result ip a period of 80 + permanent prosperity not before equaled in the history of the country. ——_ +e The libel case against the Wilmington Seats libeling the commis- sioner of Robeson county, was brought to a termination last week. ‘Phe verdict as to Canaday was, “not guilty,” and as to a first-class Senator, the same amount of | ‘|talent spread over the whole country asked her what she saw, when she made himself respected, if not loved, by the Romans and the Sacred College, and must always be reckoned as one of the great Popes.— Atlantic Monthly. ——-- } | | | | answer which agreed with the questions asked on the slips held by persons in the audience, All the answers were acknowl- | edged by the questioning parties, except | the lady who manifested such an interest | in “Major Wilson.” The Professor announced that he would to-night expose all these seeming miracles, and we urge our people not to fail to at- tend, and bespeak a crowded house.

Many different means have been tried to destroy the beetle, but without effect, until the present method was feund, and this method is so effective aud so chea,, that he must be a very carelss farmer who still lets his potatoes be ruined. It is the follawing: Take 10 Ibs. of lime and mix }it well with } 1b. of Paris green, which is in no way deleterious to the potatoes, giving 11 lbs, af mixture for each aere. Get @ small wooden box, 10 inches by 8 inches, and 6 inches deep, aud nail apiece of millcloth, as ysed for sitting by wheat millers, jnstead af a wooden bottom be- neath, also a piece of lath across the mid- dle of the open top as a handle for shak- ing the hox. Every morning from 5 to 9 o’clock or longer, as long as the dew is on the plants, this mixture hag to be applied. Childrep of 8 to 12 yoars can easily do it, by putting abut one pint into the box and sprinkling it as dust by slow shaking on the leayes of the plants. I guarantee that if this is done at the beginning of the growth in the apring, as soon as the first insects are seen, the plants will remain perfectly free, Within two days all the beetles will have disappeared, and this result is quickly arrived at, even if the field has been really completely devastat- ed, and only the stalks remain covered with the insects and their larve. The cure never fails, and it has already been proposed by our farmers in the papes to compel all potato growers by law to ap- ply this mixture on all their fields, for then, within twe years, the bug would be entirely destroyed.—Scientifice American. ee eee EIGHT TO SEVEN IN WISCONSIN. ‘TFrom the Green Bay Advocate.) Amoug the curiosities of the division of this city into wards is the looseness with which the boundaries -are manipulated. In some cases the lines ran through city lots, and in one instance; at least, a line separating two wards runs through a house and divides a bed, so that the two occupants find themselves sleeping in sep- arate wards. This was a scene at a recent sitting of the Registry Board; “De you wish to register 1” blandly said one of the hoard to a sedate individual who stood before him, “Yes,” “What js your name?” “Joha Doe.” “Where do you live?” “In the First and Second Wards.” Ancrent Move or Movine Larce Srones.—Mr. Bugene Robert, having found in the neighborhood of a Keltic dol- | men in France, a ball-shaped mass of sand- | stone about a foot in diameter, suggests that it might, with other stones shaped like it, have been used asa roller to fa- cilitate moving the immease masses of rock wherewith the ancients constructed their momumepts. He thinks that by this means the large granite rock which the Great in St. Petersbugh, was brought from Finland. — te.

What the Rightful President Saw and Did on his Trip Abroad, (From the New York World, 26th.]} Mr. Tilden was in a genial mood, and gave his experience of European travel without his usual reserve, being very cau- tious, however, in passing judgment upon He and Mr. Bige- low, having been together all the time, the latter undertook to recite their joint peoples or individuals. journeyings, which began, as may be re- membered, ou the 18th of July, when they left this port. They spent some time in Ireland and Scotland. While in London Mr. Tilden made it a rule not to go out to dinner parties, both because he valued his own health and because the Parliamentary session was then near its close, and the members were very busy and really unable to spare the time for such affuirs. It was these gentlemen he was especially anxious to meet. He had tomake several exceptions, however, to this rule, the most notable one being to goto Mr. W. E. Forster’s, where he met the Marquis of Hartington and many other well-known liberal statesmen. He also became acquainted with some of the con- servative chiefs, and so learned both sides of British politics and from men most ca- pable of expounding them. Mr. Tilden regretted that he had not met Mr. Glad- stone, as he holds him in the highest es- teem. THE HOMB OF HIS ANCESTORS, Mr. Tilden having often desired to visit the ancient home of his ancestors, the party went to Kent, where—in and about Canterbury and Tenderden mainly—they found a whole host of Tildens, and, find- ing the country very charming, stayed in the neighborhood nearly two weeks. It was from this section of England that Mr. Tilden’s ancestors emigrated 243 years ago. He found no near relatives, of course, but stopped several days with the widow and children of a namesake who had been Viear of a small parish. Most of the pre- sent male bearers of the name, it was as- certained, are either in the army or the church. The English Tildens, Mr. Bige- low said, were found thoroughly acquaint- ed with their American kinsman’s career, and took great pride in him, as also did their neighbors. Mr. Tilden himself spoke quite enthusiastically of his visit to this section of England, and said it was one of the pleasantest of the many pleasant re- * collections he had brought with him. Af- ter leaving there they started for the French capital first. They attended M. Thiers’ funeral, joining in the procession which followed the remains to the grave. They remained in Paris three weeks. Mr. Tilden taking a course of gymnastic exer- ties there which greatly improved his health, completely curing the injury sus- tained by his left arm when he was thrown his carriage last winter. COMMENTS ON THE FRENCH CRISIS, At Paris Mr. Tilden made the same rule he had made at London—not to go out tu any dinner, but to give little dinners of his own, to which he invited such men of Rote as he desired to meet. Among those Who visited him in this manner were betta, Louis Blanc, Grevy and others ofthe Republican party. The elections to the Chamber of Deputies were then the all-absorbing topic, and the French lead- *8 spoke freely of their plans and pros- Peets. “Gambetta,” Mr. Tilden said, “is We ofthe most fascinating men I ever met, and I have not the least doubt that believes ardently in republican insti- 8, and that he is more anxious to “tablish them firmly in the hearts of the people, so that they must be be- to after generations, than, to wif» © sither fame ar position for him- Governor Tilden thought that the Mac- Manon government had done its yery ut- ®% to force the Republigans to some vert feyolutionary act which would saf- fee 6 an exeuse tor ysing the most op- ve measures against them, That ~ Mihing had been done in the way of a breach of the peace, with all the provoca- Association of New York. ing its features : The election, although for State officers est political crime in our history, by tion of 1876 was set aside and reversed, is general and overwhelming.

These declarations had ceased to have any meaning tothe Ameri- can mind. They seemed to be truisms which there was nobody to dispute. The contests known to us were contests be- To comprehend the significance of these declarations, it is necessary to carry our- selves back to the examples of humanex- perience in view of whictt our ancestors acted. They had seen the governmental machine and a small governmental class, sometimes with the aid of the army, able to rule arbitrarily over millions of unor- ganized, isolated atoms of human society. In forming the Government of the United States they endeavored to take every pre- caution against the recurrence of such evils in this country. They kept down the standing army toa nominal amount. the Federal Government sv as to prevent influences, ‘They preserved the State Government as a counterpoise to act as centres of opinion and as organized means of resistance to revolutionary u-urpation by the Federal Government. Jefferson, the leader of liberal opinion, in his first inaugural recognized this theory. Hamil- ton, the representative of the extreme conservative sentiment, in the Federalist, expounded it with elaborate arguments. Madison, the father of the Constitution, enforced these conclusions. A Voice—How about the Returning Board ? Mr. Tilden—There were no returning boards in those days. The people elected their own President and there were no Lowmsiana and Florida returning boards to rob them of 4heir rights. Several voices—Let’s have the elec- tion over again!” ‘We wanta fuir show !” “Go for ’em again!” Mr. Tilden —The increase of power in the Federal Government during the last twenty years, the creation of a vast office- holding class, with its numerous depen- dents, and the growth of the means of corrupt inflnence have well nigh destroy- ed the balance of our complex system. It was my judgment in 1876 that pablic op- inion, demanding a change of administra- tion, needed to embrace two-thirds of the people at the beginning of the canvass, In order to cast a majority of votes at the election. If this tendency is not arrested its inevitable result will be the practical destruction of our system. Let the federal Government grasp power over the great corporations of our country and aequire the means of addressing their interests and their fears; let it take jurisdiction of riots which it is the duty of the State to suppress ; let it find pretexts for increas- ing the army, and soon those in posses- sion of the Government will have a pow- er with which no opposition can success- fully compete. (Applause.) The exper- ience of France under the Third Napoleon shows that with elcetive forms and uni- versal suffrage, depostism can be estab- lished and maintained. In the canvass of 1876 the Federal Government embark- ed in the contest with unscrupulous ac- tivity. A member of the Cabinet was the head ef a partisan committee. Agents stood at the doors of the pay officers to exact contributions from official subordi- nates, The whole office-holding class were made to exhaust their power. Even the army, for the first time, to the disgust of the soldiers and many of the officers, were moved about the country as an elec- tioneering instrument. All this was done under the eye of the beneticiary of it, who was making the air vocal] with professions of civil service reform, to be begun after he had himself exhausted all the immoral advantages of civil service abuses. Pub- lic opinion in some States was overborne by corrupt influences aud by fraud. But so strong was the desire for reform that the Democratic fenditome ae oy QU0 suttrages. was a majority of | the popular vote of about 300,000, and of ' 1,250,000 of the white citizens. it was a “Sthat nad been given, showed the »4- Chamber meets he would not hazard a guess.

The result is the establishment of a precedent destructive of our whole elective system. (Applause.) The temptation to those in possession of the government to perpet- uate their own power by similar methods will always exist, and if the example shall be sanctioned by success, the suc- cession of government in this country will come to be determined by fraud or force, as it has been in almost every other coun- try ; and the experience will be reproduc- ed here which has led to the general adop- tion of the hereditary system in order to | avoid confusion and civil war. The maguitade of a political crime must be measured by its natural and necessary ; consequences. Our great republic has | been the only example in the world of a regular and orderly transfer of govern- mental succession by the elective system. To destroy the habit of traditionary respect for the will of.the--peeple, as «declared through the electoral forms, and te exhib- it our institutions as a failure, is the great- est possible wrong to our country. It is also a heavy blow tothe hopes ef patriots struggling to establish self-government in other countries. It is a greater crime against mankind than the usurpation of December 2, 1851, depicted by the illus- trious pen of Victor Hugo. The Ameri- can people will not condone it under any pretext for any purpose, (Cheers.) Young men! in the order of nature we who have guarded the sacred traditions of our free government will soon leave that work to you. Within the life of most who hear me our republic will embrace a huan- dred millions of people. Whether its institutions shall be preserved in sub- stance or barren forms, and will continue to be a blessing to the toiling millions here and a good example to mankind, now everywhere seeking a larger share in the management of their own affairs, will de- pend on you. Will you accomplish that duty and mark these wrong-doers of 1876 with the indignation of a betrayed, wrong- ed and sacrified people? (A voice—“You bet we will.” Laughter.) I have no per- sonal feeling, but thinking how surely that example will be followed if condoned, I can do no better than to stand among you, and do battle for the maintenance of free government. I avail myself of the occasion to thank you, and to thank all our State and country who have accord- ed to mé their support, not personal to myself, but for the cause I have repre- sented, and which has embraced the larg- est and holiest in interests of humanity. (Continued applause.) _—-——-- po GOT HIS REWARD. On the 26th August, after making some comments upon Mr, Stoughton’s reply so- called, to Judge Black's terrible article on the Electoral Commission, we said : “We venture the prediction that in less “than ninety days from the appearance of “Stoughton’s article, he will be appointed ‘to a high and honorable position by Mr, ‘‘Hayes. Mark the prediction.” That the Observer can sometimes tell what is going to happen, as well as what has happened, though not by any means in Mr. Hayes’ confidence, any one who doubts, may see for himself by reading in our telegraphic colums this morning the announcement that Mr. Hayes has ap- pointed Mr. Stoughton Minister tu Russia. But we take no credit to ourselves for the prediction, for any man who helped Hayes to be President in spite of the shortness of votes cast for him, is sure of his reward. Mr. Stoughton was one of the New Orleans visiting Statesmen; was of counsel for Mr, Hayes before the Com- mission, and then put himself up to be slapped over by Judge Black, and of cours® he must come in for something handsome.— Ral.

About one week ago, two tramp boys from Baltimore, made their appearance in our town. The elder Harry Williams, is a sign painter, and the younger Calvin Bartholomew, aged 17, had no profession- al avocation, but just followed Williams, with whom he met in Richmond, for com- pany. The two boys were closely attach- ed, and young Bartholomew, shared Wil- liams’ earnings and hardships alike. They had been in our town about one week du- ring which time, Williams fonnd good employment, and his companion spent his time making acquaintances. On Thurs- day, young Bartholomew went rabbit hunting in company with Ed. Groner, one of his newly made friends, and it was on this trip that he lost his life. We are not fully acquainted with the manner of the shouting but from what we can learn it was accidental. A rabbit jumped up in front of the boys, and Groner raised his gun to fire. Just as he pulled the trigger, Bartholomew ran in front and received the entire contents of the guu in his bow- els. He was conveyed to town and carri- ed to the residence of Mrs. Polly Groner, where he lingered until 8.15 p.m. Be- fore he died, he exonerated Groner from all blame, and said, “it is my own fault.” Calvin Bartholomew is a native of Ten- nessee, but was raised in Baltimore, where his parents now reside. It is said he ran away from home about one year ago on account of cruel treatment by his step- mother, His father’s name is Thomas J. Bartholomew and resides at 537 North Gay street, Baltimore.

Mr. Robbins will introduce a bill on the “trite subject of State rights.” The pur- port of the bill, as will be seen from the full text herewith given, is to protect the State Courts in the trial and punishment of revenue officers who violate the State laws: A Bill to prevent interference with the ad- ministration of justice in criminal causes in the several States. 1. That all the provisions of chapter 7, title 13, of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which authorize the remov- al of criminal prosecutions, commenced in apy State Court, to a Circuit Court of the Uniced States, or which permits the Cir- cenit Court of the United States or the judges thereof, to hinder or obstruct in avy manner, the course of proceedings in criminal prosecutions in any State Court, be aud the same are hereby repealed. Mr. Robbins will introduce an impor- tant bill looking to the reduction of the revenue tax on distilled spirits, tobacco, cigars, &c. The bill reduces the tax on spirits to 45 cents per gallon, the tax on tobacco to 12 cents per pound, on cigars ta $3 per thousand—the reduction only to apply to spirits and tobacco manufac- tured on and after July 1, 1878. Also a bill allowing producers of leaf tobacco to sell ene hundred dollars worth to consumers without tax. > Our State Geologist. (From the Wilmington Review.} We trust that this cfficer will not for- get that North Carolina has a Cape Fear section and that one of its component parts is New Hanover county, in which is situated the commercial emporium of the State and its largest city. He has render- ed little or no official service in this im- portant section for years, and yet no por- tion of the State offers a more inviting field for the labors of such an officer. He promised some of our leading citizens last spring that he would then pay us a visit, and would especially examine the then yet recent and interesting discovery of human bones on ex-Sheriff Black’s plant- ation on Middle Sound. But whether of his own volition or by contrary direction of the Agricultural Department at Raleigh, he went west where he has been much of his time for the past two or three years, to the neglect it seems to us, of the east. We are not of those who have sought to get rid of Prof. Kerr, because, as some hold, he is inefficient. He has been strong- ly attacked in each successive Legislature on this ground and by leading men. It is held that it is his duty to go forward upon the rough highways and in the lone- ly by-ways of the State and arouse, by lectures and by close-mixing with the masses, a renewed interest in agriculture, instead of spending so much time in the shady and easy places of his labratory at Raleigh. We are of the same opinion and in this we are sustained by thoughful far- mers generally. The very office he holds implies this. It is easy to speak occasion- ally in our cities. It is more laborious and useful to keep in the field of “active service. epee Tue Dear anp DuMs InstituTE.—This institution is now under regular organi- zation for the term, There are in the white department 115 pupils—60 deaf and dumb and 55 blind.

From a cannon with a diameter of five inches an anchor weighing seventeen pounds was shot, attached to a double rope 2,400 feet in length, and weighing thirty-two pounds, to a distance of 300 yards, by which a stronger rope was pull- ed on to the ship, with which ship and men could be drawn ashore. Jim Brassel was arrested for stealing iu Atlanta the other day. In 1868 he killed a man and was sentenced to the peniten- tiary for-ninety-nine years.

It makes the way of faith so plain That none in darkness need remain ; Who meekly choose it as their guide Shall not in doubt and gloom abide. It makes the path of duty clear, That all in this may persevere ; Who humbly heed its righteous way Shall not from right and virtue stray. For faith and life, for thought and deed, No other rule and guide we need ; When God the King proclaims His will, Tis meet all others should be still. To this alone may we adhere, In faith and love and godly fear, And ever walking by His Word Give glory to our Sovereign Lord. TT! GLEANINGS. Always act as if you believed God was present, aud that you must give account to him. Watch for opportunities of usefal- ness. Every day brings them, and once gone, they are gone forever. To sneer and denounce is a very easy way of assuming a great deal of wisdom, and concealing a great deal of ignorance. Deceit is the false road to happi- ness, and all the joys we travel through to vice, like fairy banquets, vanish when we touch them. Man’s love to God is like the chang- ing sand ; His is like the solid rock. Man’s love is like the passing meteor with its fitful gleam ; His is like the fixed stars, shining far above, clear and serene, fram age to age, in their own changeless firmament. We should know little of Jehovah as “the God of all grace,” and our- selves as sinners in His hol y sight, if it were not for trials, temptations, and necessities.

The court then took a recess till morning. Mr. Price followed the next morning ina speech of an hour and a quarter in length and every one who heard him was im- pressed with the marked abjlity pf the speaker. He took his positions carefully, and when takey he brought reason to gustain them. At times he would grow eloquent in his appeals in behalf of the prisoner and in behalf of haman life. Gen. Leech followed in an effort in full keeping with his famed reputation as a defender of the rights of those charged svith crime. Mr. McCorkle cloged the ar- gument for the State in a shor} but point- pl speech, when the case, after a fair charge from the Judge, was given to the jury. The next day the jury rendered their verdict of not guilty. And thus the dread suspense and agony of the prisover was felieved ; and thus it is that the neck of a human beipg was kept from the gal- lows. , * ‘Many cases of interest and jmportance have been tried, and at this writing the Court is engaged jn the trial of a case of perjury pgainst Jno.

Never throw away old paper. If you have no wish to sell it, use it in the house. Some housekeepers prefer it to cloth for cleaning many articles of furniture. For instance, a volume written by a lady who prided herself on her experience and tact, suys: ‘After a stove has becn blackened, it can be kept looking very well for along time by rubbing it with paper every mor- ning. Rubbing with paper is a much nicer way of keeping the outside of a tea- kettle, coffee-pot, and tea-pot bright and clean than the old way of washing them Rubbing with paper is also the best way of polishing knives, tinware, and spoons; they shine like new cilver. in suds. only deprives the members of ihe profession oftheir just dues for an unreasunable length lofiime, bur it greatly embarrasses the final | setilement of billa, and in many inatances re- | him loose—now you see how dey works.” ~We don’t know what case they were talking about, but the conversation was over heard by one of our good citizens. o-————_ ProvinG CHARACTER IN COURT.

MurpHy, who departed this life at the residence of his father, Mr. Andrew Murphy, on the eve- ning of the 31st October, in his 25th year. The deceased had obtained license to prac- tice law, and bad just entered upon the active duties of life with a cheering pros- pect of success and usefulness. Frank and generous, and of an ardent temper- ament, he was much beloved by those whe knew him. But in the opening of his career the seeds of consumption were developed ; and, although nearly always dangerous, the flattering hope of overcom- ing the decejtful enemy sustained him and the foud hopes of friends, for a year or more. Slowly but surely his strength failed, and the contest had its usual ter- ination.

THE DOCTOR. Mr. Epitor :—It has been said by a great author and with much truth that “ag men live more for the public, and less for themselves, than the industrious, and attentive practition- ers of Medicine.” Having spent years io pa- tient stady, incurring very considerable ex- pease and outlay of capital in acquiring a knowledge of the healing art, they embark in their arduona calling fur the most part with but limited pecuniary means or resources. From the moment of starting out upen his career as a practitioner to the close of his life, bis time, health and energies, physica! and in- tellectual are incessantly devoted to the work of combatting the maladies, and alleviating the sufferings of his fellow beings. He is re- quired to study and labor in season and out of season, often at the peril of bis life, and with that ceaseless anxiety, and mental disquietude known only to thoxe to whose hands are com- mitted the sick and the dyi and on whose attention and efforts hang the hopes of the family and the fri of the afflicted. Surely men whose lives are devoted toa calling like |employs a physician to pay a just and prompt | compensation for his services for there are none ion of the bride and the manly | | L | would have excited the envy of afewinine | cost. Although physicians are proverbially phil- lantrophic yet liberal compensation for their services and prompt payment would have as beneficial effect upon them, as upon other clasaes of the community. Those who pay their physicians promptly, without wrangling lunele and aunt of the bride, Mr. Mrs.| over every item of their bills, rarely have to |complain of negligence, and inatiention on the part of the physician. It is therefore the interest as well as the duty of every man, who rendered him in which he is so exacting both in regard to their promptness, and faithfulness. Too many are prone to forget the services after they are rendered. The cry of “hard times” | while properly raised by some, offers a ready made excuse to those who have just been honest enough to feel the need of salve to their con- If any one is negligent and indifferent about paying his doctors’ bill he should not leomplain if hia physician does not respond | with alacrity to hia calls, or leave his bed at | night to see his wife who has had a bad dream, his child who gronnd his teeth while asleep.

It is a matter of almost daily oceur- rence for a publisher to be solicited to print gratuitously eertain articles not bearing upon pablic, bat simply advoca- ting private or corporate interests. This is frequently done on the specious plea that snppesed iudustries or manicipal in- terests may be ultimately benefited by the publication, when iu reality no effort would be inade to secure the result if per- sonal interests were not at the foundation We are now speaking of covert adver- tisements, articles written as interesting reading matter, but shrewdly intended to put woney in the purses of the individu- als or coporations seeking their publicity. This, of course, does not cover great and grave questions of public policy, which every honest and independent journalist will fearlessly diseass without consider- ing who may be pleased or offened, or what effect his conrse may have upon the question of patronage. The point we de- sire to make is that the same rules which apply to general business should be inva- riably extended to newspapers. The ad- vertising columns of a newspaper are ex- actly like the wares upon a storekeeper’s shelves, and it is from, their proper and legitimate use that the’pablisher, in con- nection with the sale of his paper, obtains the revenues which enables him to issue his journal. “ MAIL FACILITIES.

The circular of Smith, Edwards & Co., of Liverpool, for last month, puts the following eneouraging look upon the ¢ot- ton prospect ; Say that 4,500,000 bales is now the pre- _ wailing guess among conservative people in America, and the bareau report for the month of September rather points in that direction, indicating as it does a condition four to five per cent. below last year, while it puts the increase of acreage at 4 percent. Qpe thing js coming to be clearly aven, our cotton supply needs to be largely increased, else the trade will drift into.an awkward positiqn. The de- ficit discovered in our stock, combined with the small receipts in America, are making an ugly gap in the visible supply ~-it is now about 400,000 bales less than last year, and unfortunately spinners also hold considerably less, At the end of last season continental spinners were well stocked ; this year they are empty, Our spinners have added about 40,000 bales since the first of September; but then they had not a bale to spare, We shauld think the visible supply must be at least 1,000 bales below last year. The conclus- jon we are forced to is that the world has consumed during the past twelve months 300,000 to 400,000 bales more than its sup- ply of cotton, in spite of bad trade and much short time both in England and the continent, and we will require for the coming season an American crop of at Jeast 4,750,000, and also a large addition from India, simply to meet consumption. Our reserves of stock in Rurope this year are uniformly small. We will evidently reach a period in November, or early in December, whey aur American supply will be reduced toa handful; that may not matter much if plenty is then coming forward and crop accounts improved, but it will be a serious thing if crop accounts should be poor. On the other hand, it is quite true that Manchester js unable to pay an advance on cotton in the present wretched state of trade, This rise of pricea is a great misfortune, and is ex- geedingly ta be regretted when looked at from this point of view; but viewing the yoatter broadly, it appears to us that prices of Manchester products have been ullowed to sing far too low. The world will not grow a sufficient quantity of cot- ton to produce an unlimited supply of ¢alico at 10d. per 1b. price far helow what ruled before the American war. Our cotton supply from all places except Egypt und America is drying up under the dis- eouraging prices that have ruled, and we need large and jncreasing supplies from these countries to give the spindles an wiequate supply. The losses of late yea have caused timidity, and increased re- ¢eipts would probably temporarily destroy the present advance. Copious rains in India and the rise in the value of silver way cause a better trade; could we see an end to the present dreadful war, more cheerful yjews might be indulged in. —-er WILD CAT KILLED. A large wild-cat waa] was killed week bofgre Jast about ten miles from town, on Indian Creek, by Philo Jonas and Willinm Led- ford while out hunting ‘possums, The cat was abont the size of a medium-sized dog, but consilerable Jonger, and with his long Caws was prepared to make 9 hard fight. The dogs that were with the hunting party, unaware of the fighting qualifications of their adversary, pounced upon him with alacrity, but they were not long in finding ont their mistake. The hound wayered and showed 9 wil- lingness to surrender, but as there were ~~ mo quarters shown he beat a hasty retreat, - leaving his companion, a huge car, in the Jurch, The battle was now fierce, and for a time it was hard to determine which would triumph, but finally eoine ne ceeded in getting his antagonist by the throat, dispatebing him in short order.— Lincoln Progress, they might be forever out of the way. Young men would then haye no longer the pernicious influence of their example vefore their eyes, and young ladies would have the opportanity of receiving atten- tions from admirera who are sujted to their age. . —- ~~ - MAXIMS, The following is a series of maxins propounded by Dr, French at the teach- er’s institute jn Portland. They will work well in the family also. o 1, One rule—“do right.” Don’t pro- mulgate any code of rules at the begin- ning of school, for they wil] he broken witbin three days. 2. Never threaten. 8. When you consent, do so cordially. 4. When you refuse, do so finally. 5, Never punjali in anger. 6. Never scold or speak on an elevated pitch, 7. Find fault seldom. 8. Commend often. 9. Never give an unnecessary command, 10. Never give g command you do not intend to have obeyed. ee SILENT SUFFERING, These things are often anknown to the world; for there is mueb pain that js quite noiseless, and vibrations that make hu- man agonjea gre often mere whispers in the roar of hurrying existenge, There are glances of hatred that stab, and rajse nq cry of murder; memories that leave man and woman forever beggared of peace and joy, yet are kept segret by the quffer, er-——committed ta no sound, except of low moans in the night—seen in no writing except that made on the face by the slow months of suppressed anguish and early morning tears. Many an inherited sorrow that has marred a life has been breathed into no human ear. ea ce@iperce sacar FROZEN KINDNESS. This world is fall of kindness that never was spoken, and that is not much better than no kindness at all. The fuel in the stove is what makes the room warm, buf there are great piles of fallen trees lying on the hills where no one can get them— thege da not make anybody warm. Yon might freeze to death for want of wood in plain sight of all these fallen trees if yon had no means of getting the wood home and making a fire with it. Just so in a family; Jave is just what makes parents and children, and brothers and sisters happy, but if they take care ta never say a word about it—-if they keep a it profound secret, as if it were a crime—they will not be mach happier than if there was not any love among them; the house will seem cold even in the summer, and if you live there you will envy the poor dog when anybody calls him “poor fellow.” 90 A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT. Beautifully said by Dr. Chalmers. “The little that 1 have seen of the world and know of the history of man- kind teaches me to look upon their errors in sorrow, not in anger. When! take the history of one poor heart that has sinned and suffered, and represent to myself the struggles and temptations it passed through -. the brief pulsations of joy, the tears of regret, the feebleness of purpose, the scorn of the world, that has little charity, the desolation of the goul's sanct- uary, and threatening voices within, health gone, happiness gone—I would fain leave the erring soul of my fellow-mau with Him from whose hands jt came,” ar MR, MERRIMON'S PRESIDENCY BILL, Senator Merrimon has offered a bill providing that Presidential Electors shall be appointed on the Tuesday next after the Ist Monday in October, instead of in November, and that the Electors shall meet and give their votes upon the first Wednesday in January instead of the first Wednesday in December. Another bill was introduced by Mr. Merrimon to amend section 146 of the Revised Statutes, providing that “in case of removal, death, resignation, or inability, of both the Pres- ident and Vice-President of the United States, the Secrptary of State, or, in cas¢ there shall be no Seeretary of State, or he shall for any cause be unable to discharge the duties of the office, then the Secretary of the Treasury, or, in case there shall in the last named contingency be no Secre- tary of the Treasury, or he shall for any cause be unable to discharge the duties of the office, then the Postmaster-General shal act as President until the disability of the first aforesaid shall be removed or a President elected.” The Notches on Kinch-Weat’s Pistol, (From the Sedalia, Yo. Democrat.) Kinch West, who became noted as a guerrilla leader in southwest Missouri during the war, and who afterward re- moved to Vinita, Cherokee Nation, where he lived a life of ontlawry, was tried at the recent term of the United States Cir- cuit Court at Fort Smith, and was sen- tenced to four years and four months in the Arkansas penitentiary, He had forty- seven notches on the stock of his pisto', indicating as many lives taken in his numerous shooting affrays.

Mitchell, Ford & Co. This mine forms ong af probably fifty which exist within a radius of five miles around the vicinity. It has been known some twenty years, bat was abandoned and re-apened in 1875, since that time it has yielded some $75,000 worth of ore. At present, however, the ore extracted is of astonishing richness, yielding 12 ounces of silver to the pound, and in some cases a hard dollar to every ounce. The speci- mens exhibited to us were nearly solid silver, nodules and fijamenta of the metal being interspersed so thickly with the pure white quartz. The mine is sitnated nearly opposite that of the Batopilas Silver Minjug Company, across the Bato- pilas river, and in the Sierra Madre Moun- tains at some 1,600 feet elevation, or 2,- 500 feet above the level of the Gulf of California; from which it is distant about 250 miles. Owing to the almost total absence of machinery—absent be- cause of the inaccessibility of the locality —ore yielding as high as $200 to the ton is thrown aside as non-paying. The rich ore after treatment in the rude adobe fur- naces of the country gives silver 993 fine. It is ran into bars worth about $1,000 and $1,200 a piece. The cost of transporta- tion of ore to New York is 12} per cent. inclusive of the 5 per cent Government duty.—Scientifie American. ee The Revenuers seem to be havinga fine time in Randolph, making hay while the sun shines. At the beginning of last manth it was advertised that a United States Commissioner would hold court iv Ashboro every Monday to try offences against the revenue laws. A corraspon- dent of the Randolph Regulator, writing to that paper about the matter, says that fur a considerable portion of the time since this publication was made, It is understood that this great court has been in session, and a Depaty Marshal marching and countermarching over the surrounding country; making arrests bringing the par- ties before the said U. 8. Commissioner for a hearing in a majority of instances only to have them discharged for want of evidence against them to bind them over; the said officers entering up, however, no less their charges, for trial, for arrest, for mileage, for per diem, for expenses, and Heaven knows what all else to be paid out of the U. 8, Treasury, which must be kept replenished by the tax-payers of the country. We fully agree with the Regu- latar’s correspondent that it is time that the tax-payers as well as those who were arrested without evidence against them, to bind them over, as well as those who fayay economy in public expenditures, should watch these things, and scrutinize also these bills of costs, wheu presented at headquarters for payment. If officcrs are of opinion that they are placed in office, not honestly to execute the law for the public good, but as a sort of smelling ma- chine to smell up money for their own pockets, the masses of the people as well as the appointing power ought to kuow it. — Ral. Observer. ——————— OS County Seavts.—Every now and thena county makes application to the Govern- or fur a new seal, and now the Inferior Courts require a seal, and quite a number are wanted, the Governor’s Private Secre- tary requests us to say that all officers in need of seals to replace those worn out or defective, will please send iu their orders at once, as he can purchase them much cheaper in large quantities. Counties that ask for new seals must send a copy of the ove worn out or defective, with the appli- cation.—Raleigh Observer. eee A good deal is said about the impor- tance of one vote, but it is one eye that counts. At Lexington, Mo., lately, there were three men in a wagon drawn by two blind males. The driver had but onegye and the other two men were totally blind. The amount of responsibility th4t peated upon the one eye in the wagon can scarce- ly be estimated. _—_—~~4po —___—__— Major Russell, in his ‘‘Rugsian Wars with Turkey,” says:-—((Eight times has Turkey been in danger from Russia; twice in 171) and 1739, she has save herself by the force of her own arms ; twice, in 1774 and 1829, has been saved by the plague; onee, in 1807, by accidental circumstances; and three times, 1791, 1812, and 1853 has she been saved by the intervention of other powers, In truth, a snecession of | all sept pe if ae want 2 work, address EORGE [femelle won ar SPEAKER RANDALL, {From the Independent.) Mr, Randall's in the chair is extremely winning. Cast in Roman mould, tall and powerfal, he sits high and looks the man he is. He is just fifty years old, but daes not look forty-five. Those traces of wear and tear so palpable on the faces of many public men, telling, some- times of toa little sleep, sometimes of too much drink, of eating ambition, or hame- less @iaripation, are in nowise visible here, The face tells somehow another sweet- er and rarer story—of a happy home and of household loves. I doubt if any man could carry the expression who has a home abd is not happy in it. Mr. Randall has a fine head, covered with closely curl- ing black hair, clearly cut, strong features with a square, solid, but not heavy jaw; a mauth that could hardly fail to have its own way, if it is set about it. The very strong will of the man is perfectly appar- ent in his eountevapce; but combined with the head and brow, gives the impres- sion of large power, rather than of mere wilfulness, Spe een eee SHORT, BUT SWEET.

Fertilization of Flowers by Birds.—A carious chain of circumstances, leading to definite natural result, is noted by a cor- respondent of Nature writing from Meun- danno, Certuin flowers secrete nectar, which attracts certain insects. These in- sects are the natural prey of the suu birds and flower peckers; but to capture them the birds are obliged to probe diligently the corollas of the numerous flowers, Each bird in so doing brushes off pollen, which adheres to the plumage surround- ing its bill, and this pollen is thus con- veyed to other flowers, which so become fertilized.

My interest was so intensified that I made | inquiries as to her history, of which I jearned that the girl had lived -with her, widowed mother, and helped to support a younger sister by teaching in the neigh- poring districts, and while thus employed became acquainted with a Dr. May. Her iife had been a lonely one, with unceasing labor, and with bat little to look forward to, but with him came a hope ‘of some- thing brighter. Her girlish fancy en- shrined him as her idol, and in due time they were Dethrothed. He was in com- fortable cireamstances, and” 1 seemed to shed its sombre mantle, and wear only the rainbow tints with which yonthful dreams are wont tg clothe it. ‘AfterwAPd he carhato her” mother’s *rést- dence to see her, aud six months later married her youngest and more beautiful sister. The mother died, and Ethel had no home except the one her brother-in-law and sister urged het to share, and then came strange rumors of one sister’s jeal- ousy and another’s wretchedness, I was interested in what I had heard of her, and a page which she had written accidentally coming to my observation, convinced me that whatever might have befallen her, she possessed a refined and sensitive mind. I conld not banish her from my thoughts. She seemed to haunt my dreams like one sinking into treach- erous quicksands, and calling to me for help. Some mysterious influence seemed constantly impelling me to seek her. This feeling grew so strong that at length I re- solved to see her, and I started alone on horseback early one Saturday morning, to the place where she Was boarding abeut six wiles distant. It was a lonely ride, over wooded hills and through deep dark ravines, and at length I stopped at a large log house, and dismounting, svent in and asked for a glass of water. After talking with the hostess a few minutes I asked if the school mistress boarded with her. “Yes, would you like to see her?” she asked. I replied that I wasa teacher and always liked to make the acquaintance of teachers. Sle went into anad joining room and soon returned, followed by a fair girl, apparently about twenty-two years of age. Her face was refined and intellectual in its expression, but there was such a look of helpless despondency settled upon it that my sympathies were enlisted at pnee. The moment that her eyes rested upon my face, she became deadly pale, and sank in a chair that stood near by her. “You're sick,” said the landlady as she hastened to bring some water, and then she added, ‘hem young ones are wear- in’ the life out of her.” T unbound the heavy coils of hair, and taking the water from the woman’s clum- sy hands, bathed the shape head until she felt.better. But all the time during my stay she gazed at me like ome amazed and bewildered, and although she con- versed intelligenttly and in a lady-like manner, her thoughts seemed pre-oc- eupied. Soon after my arrival Dr. May came. “Are you ready to go home, Ethel? Are yqu ill? he asked with a shade of concern in his tones. ‘You must go im- Mediately. Winnie will be very much alarmed about you,” he added in the tone of one who expects to be obeyed. She left the room, and while she was making her preparations I had time to study the physiognomy of the man. He possessed a strong, well knit frame graceful in form and movement, with in intelligent and handsome countenance. His hair clustered in glossy gurls around his forehead, and a pair of dark penetrat- ing eyes, of magnetic fire, calmly survey- ed the room, The lower part of his face was concealed by a heavy growth of beard, which became him well, and his general appearance was that of gentlemanly ease and self-possessian, “A handsome, anprincipled, and a dan- gerous. man,” was my mental comment, during the few moments that I remained in his presence. “Shall I see you -again,” she asked lingering in the doorway a moment after the Dr. went out, as if loth to depart. “TI will come again,” 1 replied, and she Went away. Early the next morning I was on my Way to see her again. As I reached the School house I saw her standing at the Window and she came to meet me. “You have come,” she said with a sad Sweet smile. ‘Come in, there is no school to day I came to sweep the room and to be alone.” I dismounted and tied my horse, say- ing, “I want to ask an explanation as to the singular effect of my former visit. I 4™ no apparition, that you should turn Pale and faint upon beholding me.” She looked at me in silence for a mo- Ment and then said, “I will tell you, I am in trouble, such deep, dark, wretched trouble. It haunts me always, I am too to even pray, and one night I that father came to me and said, ) Ethel, I will show you one w+ f will help you.” I thought I stood in a deep, dark chasm, with light over head, but with walls too steep and rongh to climb. ‘Look,’ he said, and upon the height above me I saw a woman. She reached down and took my hand, and show- ed me where te place my feet, and helped me up into that brighter world above; my sorrow and despair fled from me and I wandered free and happy mid saany fields and blooming flowers. In you I recognized thut woman. Your face, your dress, even the collar about your neck are just the same.” I stook looking at her in mate surprise; and she continued, ‘You have come to help me, but alas, you. are too late. The walls are.closed above me. I am shat out from hope and life forever. Toe late, too late,” she wailed in tones so full of ble as I listened to her piteous moans. “Be calm, my friend,” I said, “You torture yourself with needless fears. Light and hope are nearer than you think.” ial “If you onl knew,” she sobbed “but’ how can I tell you ?” “You need not tell me. I know or have surmised enough. *Our Heaveuly Father never closes his portals against the truly repentant. Look up and be comforted.” “Even ‘though my soul is stained with crime ?” she asked doubtfully. * “Even though a stronger will has led you in dark forbidden paths. Tell me only as much of your history as you would have me kuow, no more.” She was silent fot a few moments nntil her agitation had somewhat subsided, and then she said, “I thought it would take my life when Dr. May deserted me and married Winnie. Only those who have long been denied the boon of love and sympathy can ever know how madly I worshiped him. And he was wine, I thought. I never dreamed that any earth- ly power could take him from me. They went away, and stayed I with moth- erand taught our district school, as I had done before, bvt all my joy and hope were gone. I used to wonder why I could not die, since there was naught to live tor; mother could live with Winntie, and I would not be needed. But mother sick- ened and died, aud Dr. May and Winnie came and took me with them. I did net want to go, but I was weak and worn and helpless that there was nothing else that I could do. I remembered how the days wore by and how I sat, idle and listless, wondering why God did not take me in- stead of mother. If He is supremely good, and wise, and merciful, I wonder yet,” she said with a world of regret trembling in her tones, and a sad despairing look in her eyes. “Doctor May was very kind in bring- ing me books and fruits and flowers, aud sometimes I used to wonder in that vague and listless way, if the unpleasant past were not a dream, and the Doctor still all my own. I grew stronger and helped Winnie about the house, an@ copied pa- pers for the Doctor, and began to think of returning to my old occupation of teach- ing. One morning when Winnie had been indulging in one of her fretful child- ish moods, Doctor May came to the room where I was sewing. He was angry and out of patience, and told me how deeply he had regretted his folly in choosing her, yielding to a transient infatuation, when it was only I that he had ever really cared for. He cursed his fate, deplored his wretched lot, assured me of his deep contrition for the wrongs he had done me, an@ declared that nothing but my presence made home endurable. I was shocked beyond measure. I felt that I ought to go away at once; but when I proposed it Winnie aceused me of ingrati- tude, and said that I was willing to stay when I needed her care, but now that she needed my help I would go. I left her presence wretched and miserable, not knowing what to do, and with no one to advise me. j Dr. May had overheard our conversa- tion and soon joined me. ‘Never mind Ethel,’ he said. ‘She is incapable of com- prehending any nature but a selfish one, but you must not go. It is my duty and privilege as a brother-in-law to give you a home and to care for you, and I will do so.” “O, if father had been living to guide me with his wise and loving counsel, but he was gone and I was allalone. I yield- ed weakly because I conld not resist them both. Not until her jealousy prompted did Winnie let me go, not till all my life was hopelessly blighted, and every mem- ory laden with bitter regret. When I re- flect I seem to reel upon the abyss of hell. It drives me wild. I would terminate my own existence, but I dare not, lest some fierce accusing demon meet me saying, ‘Wretched and guilty soul how dare you come unbidden to the presence of God?’ And yet when I am with him, I follow where he Jeads.” “Ethel,” I cried, “this will not do, you insult your Heavenly Father when you talk of a wrathful God, Even I as a weak and sinful mortal would not cast you off, and shall God, whois infinite in mercy, have less than One ‘of his own erring creatures? Even the world.does not judge you as harshly as you judge yourself, or you would not be here.” They do not know,” she said. “But ' every sweet and childish face seems to re- proach me by its innocence ; and have you ¢: BM ae 7% ers “T am responsible to God alone,” I an- | I + aac swered. ‘He knows my motives, and he | says alone shall Judge me.

In the first place you must be free from that man’s influence. Are you willing to go where you will never see his face again ?” “O, IL would be glad to go; but where? And yet what matters it?” she asked de- spondently. “I shall be the same sin staived wretch wherever Iam.” — will give you new life and hope. Even the worid is wiser than it used to be and more disposed to place the blame where it belgngs. The good and pure will help you, the bal cannot afford to, but when they see an erring one they must cry out to distract attention from themselves, and when you meet one who would crush you down when you attempt to rise, you may reflect that she has no right to place her- self above you, and knowing this, seek to maintain her false position by tram- pling others down. And now you must forget the past, and live as thongh it had not been. Look not back; there lies the dark and yawning grief with misery un- quenchable. Before you lies the pleasant paths of peace and happiness. The time has come when you may choose between them; now let as find the way. When will your engagement here expire ?” ‘Next Friday.” “Write to Dr. May that you can not go home for another week, but have every- thing in readiness to depart, get your money and come to me. I will find a refuge.” I left her wearing a look of hopefulness that was truly cheering. I knew a woman, a kind and motherly soul, who kept a millinery store ata little town about a hundred miles distant by rail, and fifty miles farther into the country by stage, and I wrote to ber asking if she would give this girl emplo, ment. I soon re- Cived for answer that if the girl was han- dy with the needle, she would be glad to have her. Punctually at the appointed tite, Ethel came, I had a friend about to de- part for Cororads, ant Tairected Eniel to put on the lady’s traveling suit, and go to the office apd bay her ticket, while my friend bought one for the station to which Ethel was going. Before another hour had gove she was speeding away to the spot where she was to begin life anew. She left a note for her sister which was to be handed to Dr. May when he called for her a few weeks afterwards, in which she told her not to be alarmed at her absence, she was safe and well, and only going away that both of them might be happier. Dr. May traced her to the ticket office and learned that she had purchased a ticket for Colorado, and taken a westward bound train. He waited and watched for a letter but nove came. , Soon after I received a letter telling me how wejl she liked the lady-like girl, who was so skillful with her needle, that she could have steady and remunerative employ megt with her as long as she chose to remain. One enclosed from Ethel, told me of the peace and rest that fell upon her weary soul in her new home, with pleasant honorable occupation and a bright life before her. I wrote long encouraging letters and enclosed them in my missives to «Mrs. Mead, and was rewarded by the increas- ing cheerfulness of hers. Occasionally a letter dated at Colorado found its way to Mrs. May, informing her that her sister was alive and well, and engaged in earn- ing an honest living, but all of Dr. May’s inquiries failed to discover her retreat. Two years had passed, and*one morn- ing I was surprised at receiving a visit from Ethel. She came with a face radi- ant with happiness and was accompanied by a gentlemanly appearing man, ap- parently about tev years older than her- self, “My husband,” said she proudly. ‘He knows all and trusts me too,” she whis- pered. “We are ou our way to California, and I could not go without seeing you once more, and I would like to see Win- nie a little while before I go.” ““A life redeemed,” thought I. How many might be saved by kind, ju- dicious charity, did not conceited phara- sees forever bar the way. She departed from her sister affection- ately; safe in the presence of her husband, sie no longer had any motive for fear. When last I heard from her she was a use- fal and respected woman.

The reader may suppose Texas a mevey country, thoagh in that he is bad- ly mistaken. What little money is here is in the hands of the merchants, and in the fall when the ordinary farmer takes his cotton to market it is gobbled up by merchants who have farnished him sap- plies in making it aud he seldom receives ove dollar in money for his trop. Mer- cantile business here is very unsafe, as the merchants are compelled to advance supplies to the farmers upon the faith of his crop, and when the worms come as they have this year, the farmer loses his labor and the werehant -his debt. The Legislature has wisely provided an ex- emption law against sach calamities which extwpts the farmer’s land and stock from execution, The estimation here is that in a large portion of Texas there will not be made more than one-fourth of a cotton crop this year and that times will be hard- er here than they have been since the war and should it be, there will be a great deal of saffering among the poor class of emi- grants, and there are a great many of them here and still they come to enter into bondage to the land owners, as their friends betore them have done. Texas is greatly overrated, atid many of the emi- grants are realizing the facts of it. They spend all to get here expecting to find it a land flowing with milk and honey from the flourishing reports from circulars and newspapers that are controlled by large To their surprise they find a laud of thorns and ‘thistles, are com- »2clled to.enlist.te the land owners. for ife as they never will beable to get atay. The consequence is there is more dissat- isfaction with them than any people I ever saw. Western North Carolina is far superior to Texas in many respects, and had the money that has been brought here from North Carolina by emigrants been spent there in. developing the resources of Western Carolina it would have been to- day one of the finest and most desirable countries in the world. -Piedmont Press. + Sa The Statesville Landmark says: Ili- ram Privitt, the United States. deputy marshal who cut such a wide swath at this place, pow reposesin the Wilkes coun- ty jail. He was convieted of f. anda. at the fall term of the Superior Court for that county, and sentenced to thirty days imprisonment. Verily, Hiram was a shinning light in Wilkes Radicalism. During the late term of Wilkes county Superior Court Spears was arraigned for the murder of Parsons, and Clark for the murder of Burchett, All the parties were white. Both murders were committed on the same Sabbath, in different sections of the county.—The difficulties both grew out of the same cause—wrestling. All the parties directly involved in the diffi- culties were intoxicated. Clark was convicted of murder in the first degree last week at Wilkes Superior Court.—The murder was committed by the stabbing of one Burchett some time in last Mareh. Judge Cloud thinking the testimony did not warrant so severea penalty as death, set aside the ver- dict, and allowed the prisoner to subinit for man-slaughter, whereupon he was sentenced to ten years penal servitude. Many of the misdoings of the Radical rulers of Wilkes county were exposed by Judge Cloud and Solicitor Cowles. A former county treasurer was indicted for forgery, in raising a county clfim, by changing the amount from one dollar and ten cents to four dollars and ten cents. The present chairman of the board of county commissioners was indicted for forgery in five cases, for making false affidavits in regard to claims against the State for keeping lunatic paupers. The keeper of the poor was indicted for inhu- man and cruel treatment of paupers. The sheriff, too, who ran ahead of his ticket at the late election, was indicted for the escape of prisoners in four cases; also, in a pumber of other cases, such as forgery, false pretense, &c.

One of our old citizens, who remembers Dr. Goodman as an eminent physician more than a generation since, requests the Courier-Journal to publish the folllowing from the New York Herald. Our readers would do well to cuf# out and preserve it: Noticing your remarks under the head of “Hydrophobia Remedy,” I inclose a copy of the celebrated “Goodman reme- dy.” The writer was treated with it in Philadelphia 40 years ago by Dr. Good- man, in whose family the remedy remain- ed a secret for manv years, and I request that iv the interest of humanity you will give it circulation. Yours truly, G. THE CURE. A dose for a horse or a cow should be about four times as great as fora person. It is not teo late to give the medicine any time before the spasms come on. The first dose for a person is one and one half ounces of elecampane root, bruised, put in a half pint of milk, reduced to one half by boiling, then take all at one dose in the morning, fasting. until afternoon, or at least a very light diet after several hours have elapsed. The second does the same as the first, except take two onnces of the root ; third dose same as the last, to be taken every other day. Three doses are all that are needed, and there need be no fear. This I know from my own experience, and I know of a number of other cases where it has been entiggly successful. This is no guess work. These persons that I allude to were bitten by their own rabid dogs, that had been bitten by rabid dogs and were penned up to see if they would go mad; they did go mad, and did bite the persons. This remedy has been in use in and about Philadelphia for forty years or longer with great success, and is known as the Goodman remedy. I am acquaint- ed with a physician who told me that he knows of its use for more than thirty years, but never knew a case that failed where it was properly administered. Among oth- er cases he mentioned was one where a namber of cows had been bitten by amad dog ; to half the number they administer- ed this remedy, the other half not; the latter all died with hydrophobia, while those that took the elecampane and milk showed no signs of the disease. Mr. Purnell tos construe for me ths'eer¥ plea laws that govern my official course, When I issued my circular I thougnt I knew what I was doing, and if I had had doubts about it, the At- torney, General is here to counsel me and not Mr. Purnell. Mr. Banting and all other clerks, have received my circular. They may employ one hundred attorneys each, and they may write one hundred letters each, and qnote from every law in the statutes, but if the clerks refuse to comply with the request contained in that cirenlar, they do so at their peril.” Now clerks,. you have heard what the Auditor has said, and he is just one of that-sort of men that means what he says and will not be trifled with.— Raleigh Observer. ———~ > -——___ Papenr.—aA correspondent asks what in- gredients are now used in the manufacture of paper. A list of the materials would fill a column of our journal. The basis of paper material is old rags, cotton or linen, but it is also made 6f wood, straw, kaolin and fibrous vegetables. The works of ythe Marquis de Vilette, published in Lon- don in 1786, are printed on paper made of marsh-mallow ; and at the end are speci- mens, in single leaves, of paper made of the nettle, hops, moss, reed, couch grass, elm, lime-tree, poplar, oak, burdock, this- tle, ete. Two Spanish gentlemen, of Salamanca, have just obtained a patent in Spain for making writing paper incombustible. The experiments are said to have been very satisfactory. The paper will not burn no matter what may be the intensity of the heat applied. A single sheet submitted to the direct action of a flame will carbon- ize but does not take fire. If.a roll: of prepared paper is placed in the hottest fire the outside leaves will carbonize, the edges for a short depth, but the interior remains unaltered, the writing or printing being perfectly legible, The cheapness of the preparation makes it accessible to every purpose in which paper is used. A Sap Casze.—Two weeks since, Mr. Henry Stikeleather, a thrifty and energet- ic farmer of Alexander: county, came to this place to attend the stupendous hum- bug known as “Cole’s circus,” with a large amount of money in his possession. He was enticed into the “side show” by sharpers and swindled out of every cent he had in his possession and all he could borrow from his friends. Soon after the loss of his money he became very much depressed in spirits. He is now a raving maniac in the Alexander county jail.— Statesville Landmark. DEEPENING THE FRENCH Broap.—The United States engineer corps have com- menced their work of deepening the and the officer in charge of the work states that the appropriation made by Congress will be sufficient, he thinks, to enable them to render the river navigable as far as Henderson, N.C. By the time this is accomplished the Spartanburg and Ashe- ville Railroad will be completed as far as Henderson, and an easy connection can be made between the line of steamers and the railroad at that point.-Charleston News and Courier. “The heathen are organizing foreign mis- sions for the conversion of Christians. The Hindoos of the sacred city of Benares have founded a society for the propaga- tion of Bralhminism among the Christians of Australia. An eminent Brahmin of the ‘name of Suradschi, a man of great author- ity, has reeently been visiting some of the English colonies, and while traveling ip Australia, was appalled and grieved at the fearful prevalence of drunkenness among the Christians. On returning to India he called together a number of thoughtful Brahmins, to whom he com- municated his glowing zeal to do some- thing for the salvation of their degraded fellow men and fellow subjects in Austra- lia. The only perfect remedy, he consid- ered, would be the conversion of these Christians to a better and purer faith. A large sum was collected for the pious and benevolent enterprise, and some of the Brahmins declared their willingness to devote themselves to the work, and to spend and be spent in the humane and holy cause. Suradschi is now engaged in ' translating fitting passages from the ve- das into the English tongue, for the use of , the missionaries. __P If Mr, Stoughton did not knew much aboat French Broad River near Brevard, W...C,,: for their supply, ever know what poison~ ous compounds they pour down their throats. The Louisville Courier-Journal, which is published in a State where whiskey ought to be good, af. confirms the statement that probably _ nine hundred and ninety-nine gallons out of every thousand that are sold as brandy are made from a vile compound of whis-. key swill, distilled spirits and chemical abominations, and adds: “And as it is. equally true of whiskey, what in the natie of.goodness are we all todo for something to drink? It looks as if we are to be driven to the pump in spite of us. If the world at large knew of what villainous stuff brandy and whiskey and wines are made of, the present crop of drankards would be about the last, or, at any rate, all fa- ture crops would be small. Nearly or quite all the liquors that are retailed now- a-days are undoubtedly a slow but sure poison, and to drink them habitually is simply a roundabout way of committing suicide, and unless you guard yourself carefully the way is not so very round- about either.” or DeatH or A Very Otp Lapy.- Miss Aun Sterling, perhaps the oldest female inhabitant of the city, died at the residence of Mr. Frank Horah yesterday at 120’clock..

In the year 1857 the people of Rowan and Davie were exultant over this scheme, and it was thought by the most sanguine friends of the Road, that appearances of things then indicated a s y completion of the road. But some of the warmest friends of the project gave it a quietus from which it never did recover. But peace be to their ashes. The amount of $190,000 thousand dol- lars were subscribed conditionally to the project, and yet it failed to be built. The project has beeu revived again and it re- mains to be seen what will be the result. People of Rowan and Davie, is sucha scheme desirable, and is it a feasible pro- ject? Can it be built in the present im- poverished condition of the County? 1 think it can be built if all those who de- sire to see such an enterprise carried into successful operation will put forth an earnest effort in its behalf. Do the people of Davie and Rowan need such Road? I think they do. Salisbury need such a road to increase her business, and in order to accomplish an \ardent hope which they manifest in the building of the Cheraw and Salisbary tail Road to give them a competing line in freights, they should, in my humble opinion lend a very liberal hand to this project. The people of Davie, most unquestion- ably, need it. They have’ felt its want more than Salisbury, if possible.

To him the world owes more than to any mere man who ever liv- ed. To feel the truth of this remark, one must remember tlat, next to the redemp- tion of the world from the power of the Devil by the work of the God-Man Jesus Christ, the greatest victory ever since achieved was the deliverance of the human race from the bondage of Popery, in the Reformation led by Luther. The mental and moral despotism of Rome was a part of the Enpire of Satan, and unless it had been resisted, and its right arm woken by a successful rebellion, the world, until this hour, and how many centuries Mnger the mercy of God only knows, would have sunk deeper and deeper into the abyss of sin and misery. Estimate the progress of the hnman fam- ily iu the last three hunderd years! Com- pare it with the twelve hundred years that preceded the Reformativoa! ! Contrast the nations now Protestant with those that have never been Reformed from Popery, and the result of these two the remark that “the world owes more the author of the Reformation than to any other man who ever lived.” If the world goes onward in its path of improvement in the arts, sciences, inventions, and what- tion of the principles of the Reformation, and by crushing still lower the genius and power of the prince of darkness, ig- | norance and evil incarnate, in the repre- sentative of Popery. progress, so stoutly to be fonght, as the Power whose head is in Rome and whose hands are in eve.y corner of the earth. The places through which these travels | have extended have ineluded the city of Worms, to which Lather would go into the very jaws of his enemies, though there were as many devils as tiles on the houses: Eisenach, the village in which, when a boy, he sang songs for bread, for he had a sweet sonorous voice, and | Was a master in-music, as his noble psi tunes still assure us: and on the hill | where Luther was carried for sate keep- ing when it was feared by his friends that ‘he would fall a victim to the secret wiles | of his foes. fumous conflict with the Evil One,—he In this castle Luther had his | : , : bodily form to destroy him,—the brave reformer, undaunted, hurled the huge ink- stand at him, which either missed him or | ly went through him into the wall, making a bruise in the plaster which remains to this | day, a8 & proof of the fact which is here} | recorded.

And the world awes a debt of gratitude to Germany, and to Bismarck as her director, second only to the debt due to Luther. The priests, bishops, and other relics of Rome in Germany, feel the change, and die very hard, but their time has come, and in this Empire, as indeed in all parts of Europe except Spain, the Church of Rome bas Jost its prestige with its power to rule in the Civil affairs of menu. Bismarck never said a wiser word than the epigrammatic sentence for which he has been severely criticised : “*We are not going to Canossa again.” The day has passed by when the Pope of Rome ‘could make kings stand bare-footed and bare- headed, starving, in the cold at bis gate, within.

Net long ago, in Benth Rowan, Some Pear am man; , Thee made the cand Fed gravel fly. Around did go a threshing band To thresh the wheat of this good land: With horses strong and thresher new, Their bugle hertt they proudly blew. The poultry here in this fair land The sound of bugles understand; And when young crowers hear a blast, They flap their wings and crow their last. The threshers in the barn do sleep Where they their stock in safety keep; Like Ruth and Béaz, in days of yore, They sleep upon the threshing floor. One eve they finished up a crop, And at mane de Barn did stop; Bat took their supper far away, Where new landlord has bis stay. Now in that barn there was a wight, Whose eyes were keen with notions bright; He nt to have some racy fun, And see his frighted comrades run. pon the floor above their heads itis feet did move with ghostly tread; The-panie stricken ones below, From that old barn did quickly go. Old father George and namesake son, A name for racing now have won; Old daddy with his ration chest, Did take long steps and do his best. One large fat man his knees did bend, And strange to say thought of one Friend And plead for pardon of each crime— “O give me help, for now's the time.” No engine on the new air line Could like our fat man run so fine; His locomotive acted grand, And quick did move his apple stand. One Blossom brave, we call him Pink, He from no ghost would ever shrink; Bat when he heard the ghostly tread :— Ye gods! he broke artd bravely led. Another brave bestrode his horse, Whose clattering hoofs did fright him worse; é No Gilpen on the fleetest steed Could like onr John make such good speed. Like three eyed Richard, king of old, His horse was worth a kingdom told; Horatio Gates, the Gum Swamp Knight, Could never hold to John a light. Like covy birds in grass concealed, Affrigted, quick spread o’er the field; So went the threshers, small and great, Regardless each of any mate, . * The little ghost he basle blew To summon back the frighted crew; And quick did come the angry gang, For shame! the little ghost to bang! The Blossom brave should never boast That he did whip the little ghost; Bah !—he, we know, had fin grit, Although he got the worst Good Yost will have you up some day And tell you what you have to pay; That you must never whip a ghost, But get your cash and pay the cost. Now all ye little ghosts we warn, To keep away from Dutchmen’s barns; For honest Dutchmen hate a cheat, And dev’lish boys—-not ghosts—- will beat. A FEW BOARDERS, BY HELEN FORREST GRAVES, “My dear,” said Mr. Peter Pensico, to his wife, “don’t you think it would be a good idea for us to take a few boarders ?” ‘Boarders !” echoed Mrs, Peter Pensico. ‘‘What for?” “To turn an honest penny, my dear,” said Mr. Pensico. “Pshaw !” said Mrs. Pensico. “Times are hard,” said Mr. Pensico. “But you have got money enough,” re- torted his wife, with a toss of her curly head. “Sylvia,” said Mr. Pensico, gravely, ‘lo you know that nobody ever has mon- ey enough ?” “No,” said Mrs. Pensico, shelling away vith great vigor at the pan of lima beans in her lap. “TI don’t know anything of the eort.” “Just think how nice it would sound,” tid Mr. Peter Pensico, with his eyes half closed and his head on one side, “Select loard for a few gentlemen, in a cottage on the Hudson—fine view—plenty of shade—milk and vegetables—terms mod- erate. I think I see it now in the columns wi the paper.” “I thought you rented this cottage to y-lease me!” said Mrs. Pensico, raining diown the emerald shower of Jima beans at a double-quick rate, ‘So I did my dear—so I did,” respond- «her husband, “But why shouldn’t we ease a few select boarders, too ?” Mr. Pensico was a retired grocer, ‘fat and forty,’ if not ‘fair, Mrs. Pensico had been a pretty ward school teacher, full twenty years younger than her husband who had boarded at the same house with the dealer in nuts, spices and moist su- Love is like the whooping cough, a more dangerous disease the older you grow. Mr. Pensico took it very hard--so hard, indeed, that he married Sylvia Smith at at the end of a fortuight’s acquaintance, and took her to live in a pretty little cot- tage on the Hudson. “You are a jewel, my dear,” said Mr. Peter Pensico; “and I mean to place you in an appropriate setting.” But as the conflagration of his young love died intoa more steady and even flame, Mr. Pensico’s old spirit of thrift arose within him. Love in a cottage was all very chanuaing; but the wages of eook, chambermaid and handy man counted up laundress’ standpoint.

Good ! I'll enforce both questions, or I'll know the reason why !” And Mr, Peter Pensico sat down to write the advertisement whose glowing periods had been floating in fragmentary radiance throngh his brain for the last five or ten minutes, “T won't take boarders!” said Sylvia, “My dear,” said Peter, “you will do “Eh ?” gasped Mr. Pensico, “Wasa it— animals, salt is. b ved by many to be ie 3 WHEN. x YU WANT was it a conspiracy ?” “They wanted board in the country,” said Mra.

Considering that common salt is of all the most valuable agent at our command. It is more prompt and powerfal than the other saline tives; it produces in- tense thirst, causing the animal to drink quantities of liquids, and this is of the greatest benfit in many of the diseases of these animals, particularly in impaction of the stomachs, coustipation, &c, Bland liquids, such as decoction of carrots, whi- tened with flour, are preferable ta water alone; but, when these are not at hand, water slightly warmed and whitened with flonr answers every purpose, Under no circumstances must the animal be depriv- ed of drink after receiving a purgative dose of salt; for, aside from the cruelty of such a privation, it would probably pro- duce unfavorable results. The dose of salt when given as a purgative is from one-half te one and one-half pounds for cattle, and from one to three ounces for sheep. Instead of using salt alone asa purgative, it is advisable to combine it with other purgative and laxative agents. Thus, a serviceable purgative: for a cow | may be made by dissolving three-fourths jof a pound cach of salt and.

Pensico might have gone too —perhaps—only that the boat was capa- ble of holding but four. those three young On Wednesday there was a picnic up the river, to which Mr. Smith invited Mrs. Pensico. On Thursday Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown had a ‘camp out’ in the woods, of which Mrs. Pensico and one Miss Tom- linson, of the neighborhood, indispensible accompaniment. On Friday Mr. Brown-undertook to lay out Mrs. Pensico’s verbena bed in true landscape gardening style. On Saturday it rained, aud Mr. Jones, who was consid- erable of an elocutionist, read poetry alone to Mrs. Pensico, while she darned the family hose. On Sunday, Mr. Smith drove Mrs. Pensico to a church ten miles away, in an elegant little buggy, with a long-tailed horse. “This is getting intolerable,” Pensico. And he wishes he hadn't written the advertisement. But this was nothing to his eharging on the next day, when he foand Mr. Smith sitting out under the apple trees with his arm around Sylvia's waist. “Sir!” thandered Mr. Pensico. “Eh !” said the boarder, “‘Leave my premises !” said the grocer. “I've just paid a week’s board in ad- vance,” suggested Mr. Smith. “Take back your wretched dross!” bel- lowed Mr. Pensico, flinging a roll of bills on the grass. “Go! Depart! Lose no time, and take these other two young men with you. I'm sick of boarders!” And so the three young men departed. When onee the garden gate was closed behind them, Mr. Pensico elevated his right arm theatrieally in the air. “‘Never-never will I receive another boarder in my family,” said he. “As for you, false wife— said Mr. amazingly at the end of the months.

From what has already been said of | the action of salt, it is evident that its use may be indicated in a considerable num- ber of diseases. We will first notice the | cases in which it is applied externally, | and then these in which it is given inter- | | nally. Asa lotion for bruises, whether | caused by the harness, by blows, kicks or | the suturated solution of salt | applied two or three times a day, leaves little to be Wesired. Sprains of the mus- cles, tendons or jeints may be successful- ly treated in the same mauner, or w hen | practicable a cloth wet with the solution may be kept constantly applied. It may also be used in cases of lymphanzgittis, in- filtrations, dropsical swellings, and many otherwise, | skin diseases. A weaker solution, con- sisting of a teaspoonful of salt to a glass of water, has been found exceediugly use- ful in superfical inflammation of the eye. Internally its local stimnlating effect may be turned to advantage in irregular and peor appetite, in colic from indiges- tion in horses, in chronic indigestion of cattle, and ip those cases of depraved ap- petite in which animals eat earth, lick walls, &c. The dose for such purposes may be one to two ounces for horses, two to four ounces for cattle, one-fourth to one-half ounce for sheep, given either dry or dissolved in a small quantity of water. Salt is also to believed to prevent the pro- duction of intestinal worm: and in some cases to remove them. It has also been used with good effects, in about the doses already mentioned, in anthrax (black tongne, black quarter, &c.,) in blood poi- soning from putrid absorption, in gan- grene, bronchitis, distemper of horses, and retin sheep, It is also a favorite remedy for founder with many horsemen, but is greatly inferior to aloes, sulphate of soda, or nitrate of pottassa, I cannot discover that there has been 4 -—e-— @°# # — The Caralina Farmer, at Wilmington, Nov. is tohand.

VANCE’S ADDRESS. After the usual salutation, he began by saying: ‘There is a destiny reserved for the people of the older or Atlantic Southern States. The part they will be required to perform is, in my judgment, of prime importance to the future of not only our common country but of the English- speaking race. That part consists in what is called, sometimes with a sneer, Conservatism; the checking and steadying of the extravagant and precipitate ten- dencies of our anglo-American democracy. This uncertain progression, the weak side of all popular government, has ex- hibited a more dangerous development in these American States than perhaps in any other portion of the world. No where are the sober checks of Conservatism so much needed, so absolutely essential to the preservation of the very elements of liberty. Every cireumstance of our con- dition feeds and stimulates our progres- sive dangers; and the still small voice of tendency of these employments is decid- edly conservative. Lodking at the his- tories of the great German families, it may be said that whilst cities and municipali- ties have been foremost in aasisting free institutions, rural and agricultural com- munities have ever been most steadfast in maintaining and conserving them. The enjoyment of corporate privileges early taught their possessors in the towns the impertance of establishing also the rights and liberties of the nation at least. But the spirit of gain and the love of change also welcomed approach of tyran- ny, and overcrowded population gave birth to riot, social disorders and the demagogue, the personatiou of all dangers to law and liberty. It is yet so, from the crowded alleys and dark by-ways of our great cities, abodes of hanger and crime, comes forth the direct enemy with which our institutions must contend. The evils prophesied by Lord Macauly have come upon us long before our vast western plains have been filled up, and whilst there are still homes to be had almost for Tate slaves, now the laborers, should eat gage our serious attention, It was a dif- ficult problem to solve. It depends upon the agriculturists of the South to solve the problem and to make them useful fae- tors in the promotion of our national prosperity. “For one I am willing, for the sake of putting them, asa part of our own people, under the control of our own opinions, to do anything consistent with the preserva- tion of the purity of oup blood and of those social distinctions which our Anglo- Saxon prejudices in support of nature have established. I don’t want four mil- lions of uneducatrd, half civilized enemies seated in the very midst of our Southern homes, controlled by enemies more hos- tile a thousand iiles away. Ido want these four millions, however, to be our friends, to sid us to till our fields, to (hink as we think, to feel that their interest is our interest and ours is theirs, to sustain the law in the maintainance of lite, liber- ty and prosperity, and by a natural alli- anes with the land give strength to the | ? . speech. may be reproduced andibly-in his own tones long after he himself has turn- ed to dust.. The possibility is simply startling. A strip of indented paper trav- els through a little mathine, the sounds of the latter are magnified, and our great grandchildren or posterity centuries hence hear us as plainly as if we were present. Speech has become, as it were, immortal. The possibilities of the future are not much more wonderful than those of the The orator in Boston speaks, the indented strip of paper is the tangible result; but this travels under a second machine which may connect with the Not only is the speaker heard now in San Francisco for example, but by passing the strip again under the repro- ducer he may be heard to-morrow, or next year, or ext ceutury. first instauce is recorded and transmitted simultaneously, and indefinite repetition is possible.

The reproductor is very similar to the indenting apparatus, except that a more delicate diaphragm is used. The repro- ductor, B, has attached to its diaphragm a thread which in turn is attached to a hair spring, H, upon the end of which isa V-shaped point resting upon the indentu- tions of the boss. The passage of the in- dented boss underneath this point causes it to rise and fall with precision, thus contributing to the diaphragm the motion of the original one, and thereby rendering the words again audible. Of course Mr. Edison, at this stage of the invention, finds some difficulty in reproducing the finer articulations, but he is quite justified by results obtained, from his first crude Horne Tooke, on a certain occasion, challenged Wilkes, he being at the time Skeriff of London and Middlesex, wheh — the most.andacious individual that ever lived (of course we mean Tooke), received from Wilkes the following rather signifi-~ cant reply: “I do not think it my busi- ness to cut the throat of every desperado that may be tired of his life; but, as I am at present High Sheriff of the City of London, it may happen that I shall shortly have an opportunity of attending you in my official capacity, in which case I will answer for it that yow shall have no ground te complain of my endeavors to serve you.” sg ce A remarkable frog story is told by the Toronto Globe.

The outside slab and one board had been cut off, and while the workmen were turning over the leg they were surprised to see a large toad poke his head out of a efforts, in his prediction that he will have | hole in which he was imbedded, and the apparatus in practical operation with- | where he had barely escaped being cut up ina year.

One day she was accosted by a beggar, whose stout and healthy appearance startled her into mo- mentary doubt of the needfulness of char- ity in this instance. ‘“‘Why,” exclaimed the good lady, ‘‘you look well able to work.” “Yes,” replied the supplicant, “but I have been deaf and dumb these seven was years.” “Poor man, what a heavy atilic- tion!” exclaimed Mrs. W time giving him relief with a liberal hand. ,at the same On returning home she mentioned the fact, remarking, ‘What a dreadtul thing it is to be deprived of such precious tac- nlues!” “But how,” asked her sister, ‘did you know that the poor man had been deaf and dumb for seven years?” “Why,” was the quict and unconscious answer, “he told me so.” ~_- acre Seribe the dramatist met his match ina nobleman ambitious of gaining a literary reputation by proxy; from whom he re- ceived the following curious epistle : “Sir—l have the honor to propose to you to associate yourself with me in the com- position of a drama, Your name will fig- ure by the side of mine; you alone com- posing the play, aud lalone defrayiug all the expenses of the tirst representation. You shall have all the profits, for I work only for glory.” Scribe replied: ‘“sir—I have never been accustomed to harness together in my carriage a horse and an ass; Tam therefore unable to accept your very kind offer.” The nobleman closed the correspond- ence with: ‘Monseiur Seribe—I have re- ceived your note of refusal to unite our ‘literary labors. You are at liberty not to understand your own interset, but not to allow yourself to call me a horse,” ——— Mr. Mewins was courting a young lady of some attractions, and something of a fortune into the bargain. After a liberal arrangement had been made for the young lady by her father, Mr. Mewins having taken a particular fancy to a little brown mare, demanded that it should be thrown into the bargain, and upon a positive re- fusal, the match was broken off. After a couple of years, the parties accidentally more than thee millions of square miles in extent, not yet more than half subdued to civilization, the field of wealth and physical power which the vista of the future discloses is grander than any which ever old Roman or Spaniard gazed upon. Its contemplation has bred a wondrous energy and a prophetic instinct which evinces itself, not only in great deeds and greater boastings, but in a most reckless disregard of moral means aud a most dan- gerous contempt of consequences. in the major part of the Union this feeling char- acterizes the teachings imparted to the young. A boy is taught indirectly, if not directly, that it is more important to ac- quire a dollar than to understand and jealously guard the free blood-bought in- stitutions which enable him to earn that dollar and protect him in its enjoyment, The everlasting refrain rang in his ears is to “develope” something by which money is te be made. From the press, the school room, the hustings, the ros- trum, the store room, the work-shop and the fire-side, comes that ceaseless lesson; whilst the exhortation to develope the noble and generous qualities of the soul - the personal and national integrity are left to the formal dribblings of the Sunday school or the prefunctionary rout- ine of the pulpit, and the ineuleations of the great principles which underlie and sustain our liberties are heard only occa- sionally from some daring professor's chair, delivered with the air and manner in which we would discourse on the an- cient fossils and Siberian what-yon-call- ems. In other words our progress is not a true progress : we are expending our en- ergies in physical development to the neg- lect of the intellectual aud moral; we are cultivating the vine for the produetion of wood and leaves to the’ neglect of the fruit; we are building cities, railroads and ship canals, opening lands to cultivation and amassing wealth, bat we are building no such bulwark to protect free govern- ment. On the contrary, we have cast some of the ancient ones down and tram- pled them in the mire, and others we are forgetting and remanding to the musty cabinets of the curious. Never strike for constitution, they say, now, politics don’t pay the farmer; let us develope some- thing—let us get rich. Verily, I say so too; let us indeed get rich, not only in houses and landa, in flocks and herds, in cities and towns, in ships and steam tra- versed highways and gold and silver, but also in the unspeakable riches of the free- held of Conservatism and of law is in the homes of those who till the soil and live upon the fields. “Firm as the everlasting hills,” says the proverb, and the inhabi- tant of these hills or plains acquire some- thing of the stability of his homestend. In the very nature of his occupation the man of the field is also a man of stability and peace. To him we look for resistance to new and untried things, for the pre- servation of old landmarks. When riot deluges the city in blood or wraps its pal- aces in flames, when strikes stop the wheels of the factories, paralyze the arm of law and invite crime to come forth to his carnival, and artful demagogues sti the fires of ruin for selfish ends, then in- deed do the eyes of all patriots turn to- ward the hills whence cometh our strength; then indeed do we look to the men of the their fathers, and fresh from = the purity of their firesides and their communings with nature, to overcome the promptings of evil and misguided men, to restore the strength of the law, and maintain the freedom and justice of society, and in con- sidering the causes which produce com- munism. It is a fact of which we cannot be too proud, that whilst riot and Jabor outbreaks were convulsing society and destroying millions of property among our northern neighbors last summer, and trouble was heard from the Potoniae to New Orleans. I could not but see the contrast aud feel the blessed effects of re- lying upon a conservative agricultural people. During the fiereest period of that North Carolina was cooling himself on the hills of his native county of Buncombe, the Secretary of State was enjoying him- self at the Warm Springs, and the Treas- urer was resting in the shade of his apple trees in Randolph county, and the ma- chinery of each department was safticient- lly worked by three boys, two just from college and one undergraduate, home for the vacation ! The disease of social trouble was not there because the predisposing causes were not there. Our land is not filled with money rings, stock jobbers, and huge monopolies and accumulations of capital to grind labor into dust, and drive the working man to desperation where he has to be slaughtered in the name of order. Whilst denouncing the spirit of lawless- fields to come up full of the teachings of frightened Executives were clamoring tor | the United States army, not a note of significant commotion, the Governor of | fore they left. may be so. Gen. Heth says it was owing to the absence of Stuart with the cavalry. Colonel Walter Taylor says it was owing to Stuart, Ewell and Longstreet. Gen. Lee understood it to be because, mainly, he was deprived of the use of his cavalry. Gen. Lee had a very high opinion of North Carolina's greatest military hero, Gen. W. D. Pender. He said, after Pender was dead, that he ought to have been one of his corps commanders, Gen. Heth reports this conversation : “In speaking of the fight of the 3rd of July, at Gettysburg, General Lee said: ‘1 shall ever believe if General Pender had remained on his horse half an hour longer we would have cariied the euemy’s posi- tion.’” ss Burke Blade: We went up last week to see Wilson's niggers pull that engine over the Blue Ridge—and they did it. Stripping the locomotive “Salisbury” to its lightest weight, seventeen tons, they struck out along the stage road, laying a temporary track before them and drag- ging the engine by means of three long ropes attached in front, after them. When the machine was pniled up to the end of this track, they took up all behind and moved it forward, when another pull was made, and so on until the top was reached. From this point, to make the descent on the other side, they had to put on their holding back straps; bat the engine was safely placed in position on the track in the western approach to the main tunnel. This is the first locomotive engine ever west of the Blue Ridge in North Carolina.

[Dispatch to the New York Times.] DEAapDWooD, Dakota, Nov. 10.-—-On Thursday last the miners employed at the Keets Mine under Contrator Conlee, took forcible possession of the mine on account of non-payment of wages by the contractor. The miners are still in pos- session of the mine, having resisted the sheriff successfully, and refuse compro- wise of any kind except full and complete settlement of their claims. They are se- curely fortified and well armed and pro- visioned to stand a month’s siege. The citizens of Central City, near which the mine is situated, are in sympathy with the miners. It is feared blood will be shed before a settlement can be arranged. At 6 o’clock this evening the miners issu- ed a printed circular invoking public sym- pathy in their behalf, and explaining their position, which is, briefly, that the con- trator owes then $2,500 for labor; the contractor will not pay them, and they hold the mine for the same. Considera- ble excitement exists over the situation, which is the main topic of conversation throughout the section. ——- a po —___—_—_ Concord Sun: James Morrison, a citi- zen of Pioneer Mills, this county, was going into Charlotte last Wednesday with his wagon and a bale of cotton. While crossing the track of the C. C. railway, his wagon was struck by an engine which was ranning up the road and which, on account of the deep cut of the railroad was vot seen by him until his wagon was on the track. The wagon was shattered to pieces and the bale of cotton thrown aboat fifty yards into an adjoining field. Mr. Morrison was thrown over one em- bankment and a negro man who was with him over another. The negro was knock- ed insensible and remained so for some time; Mr. Morrison escaped injuries other than a few slight bruises. —— The telephone has been tested between New York and Baltimore.

It is rumored that we are ta have a special term of the Superior Court for Rowan County in January for the trial of civil causes only. It is not desirable gs a general thing to burden the county with the expense of such Courts, but in this case, it appears to be necessary in consequence of the time of the last court having been occupied almostentirely on the State Docket ; two of the cases requiring about five days te try them. Both of these cases were between parties not of thia county. The expense of these trials did not fall on our céunty, as his Honor very properly ordered the parties who cansed the prosecutions to pay the costs. If a special term is ordered we trust Governor Vance will select Judge Cox to hold it, as our people were 80 delighted with this gentleman both on and off the Bench that we want him to hold the Special term And if Governor Vance ahall in his future appaintments so wisely consult the fituesa of thipgs, as he did in selecting W.

No ConpLict EXISTS BETWEEN THE Laws OP THE STATE AND THOSE OF THE UNI- TED STATES IN REGARD THERETO. Messrs, Editors :—The Raleigh Observer, in a series of editorial articles, deliberate- ly arrives at the conclusion, that there exists a very grave conflict between the laws of North Carolina and those of the United States, jn regard to the-time of holding the Congressiona} election in this State in the year 1873, It says: ‘That no provision is made jn the “Election daw’ pf March 12, 1877, for holding such an elction, and that the statutes of the State pow in force concerning the matter in question ab- solutely require the election to be held an the fest Flionaey in August, in the 1878—( Bat. = ch. 22, ac. 2—L L. 1873274, chap. 133, sg l— But the election gannot be held on the day fixed by the law of the State—because an act of Congrese of Feb. 2, 1872, (U.S. Rev.

Representatives in Congress) should be held in November, in the year 1878, (sec’s. 49, 77). The Legislature must be presumed to have known that a constitu- tional law of Congress, the supreme law of the land because constitutional, had in the most mandatery terms appointed the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, A. D. 1878, as the day for holding that ecleetion. (Feb. 2, 1872 U. 8. Rev. Stat., see. 25). Section 1, there- fore, proves nathing in regard tothe time of halding the Congressional election in the year [278. Itcertainly cannot be con- strued to forbid the holding of a Con- gressional election before the year 1880, the latter part of the section—which alone has any bearing upon the question we are discussing—contains what the logicians call a particular affirmative proposition, from which no negative nor universal conclusion can folleow—-‘because no con- sequence is valid from the particular to the universal”—and therefore it cannot be logically, nor reasonably concluded that because said section prescribes the time for holding some elections for mem- bers of Congress, it therefore forbids any other Congressional election to be held before that time. Tarn new to the 49th section, and read it with care, and the language and mean- ing are both perfectly plain. A particn- lar time is therein appointed for holding all Congressional eleotions—the year, month, and day are all expressly men- tioned—and the time fixed is not for a certain period, nor until a certain day, por until after a future time—but it is “for all time to come,” after the passage of the act—and the day 80 fixed is ‘‘the Tuesttag next after the first Mondayin Nov- ember, immediately preceding the termina- tion of each Cougress,” from the adoption of the law, being also the same day estab- laws thns exactly conforming to that of the United States. The plain, literal, grammatical, meaning of this section, therefore, requires the Congressional elec- tion in the year, 1878, to be held in No- vember, on the day appointed by Con- gress. ‘This section does not conflict with the first section, it is only more general in its scope; the first section is affirmative, but particular in its character. The 49th section is a universal affirmation proposi- tion, but not at all repugnant to the for- ner.

No one will pretend to deny this. All general elections, therefore, which shall be held in this State after said Ist Thursday of August, 1878, must, take peere on the Tuesday next after the first onday of November of the year in which the election takes place. I have shown that the State laws commands the elec- tion to be held on the same day prescrib- ed by Congress in November, 1878. (Sec. 49 and comments thereon.) But conced- ing that I have not proved that, what statute of North Carolina commands the election to be held in Angust, 1878? Is it ch. 22, sec. 2 of Battle’s Revisal? I have shown that that section and the whole chapter of which it is a part, has been virtually repealed and aunulled by the sub-division entitled “Congressional Elec- tions” in the acts we are considering and impliedly by other acts also. And cer- tainly the whole of said chapter in Bat- tle’s Revisal is in conflict with said ‘“sub- divison,” and is:therefore positively re- pealed by sec. 79 of the act of March 12, 1877. Battle’s Revisal went into opera- tion on the first day of February, 1874. But nearly two years before that, to-wit, on the 2nd day of Feb. 1872, an Act of Congress had been passed ‘for the ap- pointment of Representatives to Congress among the several States according to the niuth ecensus”—sec. 3 of which is as follows: That the Tuesday next after the first Mon- day in November, in the year 1876, i+ hereby fixed and established as the day in each of the States and Territories of the United Stvtes, for the election of representatives and delegates to the 45th Congress; and the Tuesday next after the firet Monday in Noveinter, in every second year thereafter, ia hereby fixed and established ax the day for the election, in each of said Statea and Territories, of Kepresentatives and delegates to the Congress, commencing on the 4th of March next, thereafter. (U.S, Rev. Stat.,sec. 25. Stat. at large Feb. 2, 1872, ch. | XI, sec. 3, p. 28.) This Act of Congress was passed in pursuance of an express provision of the Constitution of the United States. (Art. I, see. 4, 9 1,) to-wit: ‘Vive times, places, and manner of holding eleciions for Senators and Representatives shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof: bat the Congress of the United States may, atany time, make or alter such regula- tions, except as to the place of choosing Sen= vers of Congress shall be held in Novem- ber 1230 and every two years thereafter, of Congress, which shall be held after the 12th day of March, 1877, shall be held on the same day vamed in the first section immediately preceding the termination of each Congress.

The whole sub-chapter—uander the heading of Congressional Elections, inclu- ding sec’s. 48, 49, 59, 51 and 52—is a re- vision and re-enactment of chapter Battle’s Revisal, entitled “Congress.” The lebanges made by this revision are as follows: The introductory parenthesis is left un- touched—sec. | is literally re-enacted as sec, 48, Sec. 2 is almost literally re-en- acted as sec. 49, the exception being, that the time for holding Congressional elec- tions has been deliberately changed from the first Thursday in August fo the Tues- day next after the first Monday in November, the other, that all elections for members | 22 of bers of the General Assembly, for Justices of solicitors, and for suryeyor, coroner, sheriff, ter, until otherwise provided, all general elec- Sec. 80.

A mere cursory perusal of this statute will conyince the most skeptical, that the Legislature in enacting it intended it to immediately preceding the termination of each Congress—and for the express pur- pose of making actly conform to that of the United States, as lam justly warranted in concluding, not only from jhis circumstance but from others. Sec. 3 is literally re-enacted as sec. 51. See. 4 is neryere omitted, and not re-enacted—for the reason that the Sheriffs no longer meet at certain places in the several Congressional Districts for the purpose of comparing and counting the votes—retarns being required by the express terms of the statutes we are con- sidering to be sent direct to the Secretary of State at Raleigh, to be counted by the State Bourd of Canvassers.

Such a pre- tended law has not as much authority as 1 resolution of a political convention. It is no more entitled to be called a “law,” than au imitation of the human form made out of clay is entitled to be called a “man” with a living soul, It is clear, therefore, that sec. 2, ch. of Bat. Rev., does not, nay, cannot re- quire the next Congressional election to be held in August, 1878; and if said sec- tien has not been repealed, and it could really be construed to so command in words, it is without any force or validity whatever as law, being in direct conflict with a consfitntional act of Congress.

He has a nice little box, made just like a drum, except that one head comes out, this is his snuff box. When he goes to see his “little duck,” as he calls her, he takes his box and they have a real social time, dipping from the same box, cooing, &c. Now girls we beg you not to do such naughty things, we mean as dipping with your sweetheart, or by yourself. You ought to teach better things, and not countenance, or tolerate in your presence the dipping of snuff.

THE SLAVE TRAFFIC IN’ EGYPT. (Washington Dispatch to the New York Times.) Wasuineton, Nov. 10.—The Consul- General of the United States at Cairo has forwarded to the Department of State a copy of the convention concluded en the 4th of August last between Governments The Bishop of Hereford, while examin- ing a class in a public school, asked what an average was. Several boys said that they didn’t know, but at/last one replied: “It is what a hen lays on.” The Bishop looked in amazement at the boy, who then said that he had obtained his informatien in his little book of facts. The little book was sent for, and, when it arrived, the bright boy poiuted triumphantly to the following sentence: “The domestic hen lays on an average fifty eggs each year.” Queen Victoria regulates and discip- lines her children just as if they were still boys and girls.

The convention is embraced within seven ar- ticles, in which are recited the usoal formalities attendant upon the drawing up of such instruments. The powers and privileges granted by the Egyptian Gov- ernmeut to British cruisers te visit, search, detain, &c., suspected Egyptian vessels are very full, and the “law’s delay” in the trial ef slavers short and the punish- ment severe. Wherever the word ‘‘slaves” occurs in the convention it is immediately qualified by the words “Africans or Abys- sinians,” which qualification, it would seem, was intended to exclude from the terms of that instrument the Circassian and Georgian female slaves, who are pur- chased in Constantinople by the middle aod higher classes in Egypt, and held in the harems under the designation of ser- vants or wives. These “servants,” with whom the masters live ina state of con- cubinage, and who are only limited in number by the desire and wealth of the purchasers, are really slaves, but it is clear from the wording of the convention that while the severest measures will be adopted for the suppression of African Abyssinian slavery, the Oriental system which condemns the beautiful white women of Georgia and Circassia to lives of slavery and concubinage will not be interferred with in any manner whatever. : —_- A French author says: ‘When I lost my wife, every family in the town offered me another; but when I lost my horse no one offered to make him good.” a Hon.

The proposition to coin a new lot of the old time silver dollars, they term a legal- ized mode of swindling. They call upon the Senate to kill the bill, and they call upon Mr. Hayes to veto it.

Their principal organs of speech are doubt- less the aptenn ; with these, when seek- ing to communicate intelligence, they touch each other in 4 variety of ways. There is a possibility that they may have a language of odors, for the various scents given off by them are easily perceptible. Under the influence of anger it becomes very intense. In battles how, save by scent, can they distinguish friend from foe? After a lapse of several months a former companion will be received kindly into the nest, but a stranger is killed. More wonderful than their intelligence is their organization. If separate they would be helpless, and probably sqon be- come extinct.

A Caleutta paper gives the following account of a plague of flies :—“When people read of the plague of flies of Egypt, they are sometimes apt to wonder what sort of flies they were—whether they were our common and sometimes very tiresome visitor, the housefly, or whether they were a species of mosquito, or what. They could not well have been more tire- some than those little side-walking, biting, jumping green flies in India. Of these Calentta has had a veritable plague dur- ing th® evenings of the past week. It has been scarcely possible to sit at a table where there was alight. These flies come to flavor the soup, to improve the tea, or to fill up the inkstand. They cover a book if one attempts to read, or they set- tle or people’s spectacles, or jump into (push out, whieh pursued the gockroaches, aac and spiders in the neigh- covenant with yourself, as it were, to let every matter be fully placed before you, ere you allow yourself to form an opinion, much less to provounce a decision upon the subject.

That is not my opinion of judicial dignity. 1 will only say that duriug the forty-four years I have been at the bar, and the nineteen I have been on the bench, I have studied to act on these principfes.

The October number of the Quarierly| Journal of Science contains an article on | “Our Six-footed Rivals,” the ants, which may well cause us to believe that we are not the only rational and civilized beings | sive ma pn this globe. Let us suppose that we were suddenly | are on good authority, that there in by a fellow citizen, handed over in a informed, existed a race of beings who lived in domed habitations, aggregated together so as to form vast and populous cities, that they exercised jurisdiction over the adjeiping territory, laid out regular roads, executed tunnels underneath the | : : am | species, but not to the same degree. The veagrs avo, a beds of river, stationed guards at the en- | trance of their towns, carefully removed any offensive matter, maintained a rural police, organized extensive hunting ex- peditigns, at times even waged war upon neighboring communities, took prisioners and reduced them to a state of slavery ; that they not merely stored up provision with due care, but that they kept cattle and even cultivated the soil and gathered in the haryest. We should unquestiona- bly regard these creatures ag human be- jugs who had made no small progress in | civilization, and should ascribe their ac- tions to reason. Among the hymenoptera the lead is un- floubtedly taken by the ants, which, like | man, have a brain much more highly de- veloped than that of the neighboring in- ferior groups. Perhaps the most elevated of the formicide family is the agricultural ant of western Texas. This species is, save man, the only creature which does not depend for its sustenance on the pro- flucts of the chase or the spontaneoys fruits A eolony of these ants will of the earth, clear a tract of ground, some four feet in width, around their city, and remove all plants, stone, and rubbish.

IN THE YEAR 1878. oe No CoNFLICT EXISTS BETWEEN THE LAws | oF THE STATE AND THOSE OF THE UNTI- | TED STATES IN REGARD THERETO. ‘ [CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.] Is there any other law of thie State, which orders the election to be held in | August, 1878. Chapter 132, see. 1. Laws | of 1873-74, p. 168, has been cited as an | authority to that effect. That act was | ratified the 14th day of Feb., 1874, after the passage through Congress of the Act of Feb. 2, 1872, and is therefore liable to the same objections I have just stated in regard to sec. 2, ch. 22, of Bat. Rev. But sec. 1, of ch. 132, Laws of 187374, does thorize an t pot even in express terms au election to be held in August, 1878, atall. When. it was first adop' it did diree an el certain” members of Congress, to. be held “on the ist Thursday in August, 1874, and every two years thereafter.” - Butthe section was amended, hy the act of March 22, 1875. (L. L. 1874-75, ch. 237, see. 4, p. 317), so as only to authorize an_ election for said officers. including members of Congress, to be held on the Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, 1876. There is no other State law bearing upon the question. It follows, therefore, irresistably, that there is no law of the State whieb author- izes, much less requires an election for Congressmen to be held in August, 1878. | On the contrary it will be in express vio- lation both of the laws ef North Carolina, and of the Constitution and laws of the United States, for the next election for Congressmen in this State to be held om any other day in the-year, 13878, than the one fixed and established by Congress. If sec. 77 intended a Congressional elec- tion tobe held in August, why not say so? It is very wrong to assume that the Legislature of 1876-'77 intended to au- thorize an unconstitutional election in August, 1878. That bedy knew full well that the law of Congress required the election for members of that body to be held in November, 1872. the Legislature be so blind and ignorant as to stultify itself? Why shonld it de- liberately do an absurdity? Common sense is a sufficient guide to teach us that the Legislature could not have intended to do such a vain or absurd thing. One of Lieber’s rules is, “if one interpretation would lead to absurdity, the other not, we must adopt the latter”—another rule is this: ‘If the law admits of two inter- retations, that is to be adopted, which is agreeable to the fundamental law, (e. g. a constitutional act of Congress, as in our case), though the other may have been adopted previously.” (In our case the fun amental law was adopted first.) r’s rules wick on stat. and const. Law, p. ans 8 . I will also remark, that sec. 25, of the U.S. Revised Statutes—being passed in pursuance of paragraph 1, sec. I, Art. IV, of the Constitution of the United States— does not “alter” any of the State “regu- lations” relating to holding Congressional elections, except only as to the time, aud it cannot be seriously contended that there are now no statutes of this State in force, regulating and prescribing the eee and manner of conducting and olding elections for Representatives in Congress. In reply to this position, how- ever, the “Raleigh Observer,” of the 9th inst., with an evident tone of triumph, remarks : “Mr, Henderson says the Federal Statute changes only the time of holding the election for Congressman, leaving all other matters to the regulations prescribed by the State law. It happens, however, that these regulations as laid down in Battle’s Revisal, in addition to fixing, in section 2, the day of election on the first Thursday in August, require, in section 3 (42), the Sheriffs to meet and compare the poll#on the third Thursday in A ¢. What then? Will it be contended that the Federal Statute will change that also? If this be so, there is little need for any State legislation on the sub- ject. It must be remembered, that the votes for Congressmen are not compareed as are those for the General Assembly.” Unfortunately fr the Observer, sec. 4, ch. 22, of Bat. Rev. upon which it relies, [its citation of sec. 3 is evidently a cleri- cal error} has been amended by striking out “third Thursday of August,” and in- serting in lieu thereof, the words, ‘‘third Tuesday in November.” (Laws of 1876-77, ch. 1, sec. 1.) And I may justas well re- mark here, that the Observer is almost equally unfortunate in all its other cita- tions of North Carolina statutes relating to this controversy. This amendment plainly proves that the Legislature, in enacting the Election Law of 1877, must certuinly have intended that the election for Congressmen should be held in Nov. 1878, for why should an election be held in August, and a comparison of the votes by the Sheriffs to be postponed untilythe 3rd Tuesiay in November following— which also shows, that the Legislature did not consider sec. 2, ch. 22, ef Bat. Rev. to be in force, but must have intend- ded to diréct the election to be held in November. _If the Observer had examined the elec- tion laws of the State a little more ¢are- fully, it would have also seen, that the old method ef requiring the Sheriffs to meet together in each Congressional dis- trict for the purpose of comparing the — &c., had been abolished, not only y sections 26, 27, 28, 29, ch. 275, Laws of 1876—77, but also by chapter 199 of the Lawsof 1876-77; both of which acts require the returns for members of the House of Representatives of the United States Con- gress to be made dimect to the Secretary of State, to be counted by the Board of State Canvassers. But section 4, ch. 22, of Battle’s Revisal had not been amended on the 7th day of November, 1876, when the last general election was beld in this State. The State law then uired the election for Con- gressmen to be held in November, (Laws 1874-'75, ch. 237, sec. 1), but commanded the sheriffs to meet together in the several districts to compare the polls, &c., on the third Thursday ef August, (Bat. Rev., ch. 22, sec. 4). Why does not Congress take notice of this ee ehaarity ? According to the argument of the Observer, on_ this account if for no other, the titles of the North Carolina members to their seatsfn Congress are doubtful and defective, for although the Legislature has endeavored to cure the irregularity, (Laws of 1876-77, | ularities in the for the laws | of the State of erth Carolina to make Why should | terly void and without authority of law,” as the Observer seriously maintains in its issue of the 9th inst., in regard to a sug- gestion of mine that if there be any irreg- nt “election Law,” the next Legislature can pass an act easily removing the difficulty. I must not forget to remind your read- ers that it was not any provision tever about the time of holding elections for Congressmen, That has been fixed by the laws of Congress, whether the States amend their laws to conform to it or not. The law of Con- iy alone pan ets . necessary. And as for providing m nery for carryin the Federal law into eanentiies the isting laws of this State are am suf- ficient without any farther rene ion. (See chapter 199 and 275, Laws of 1876- 77). Ihave no doubt myself, that there ene a the States of the Jn et notwithstanding the act of Congress of. Feb. 2, 1872, but have deemed that statute sufficient, without the necessity of alter- ing their local laws, with the view of making them conform in express terms to the law of Congress. It is true the constitution confers upon the U. S. House of Representatives the right to “judge of the elections, returns and qualifications of its members,” (Art. I, sec. 5, (1), ); but I have no hesitation in expressing the opinion, that no parti- san majority in Congress, however un- scrupulous or corrupt, whether Radical or Democrat, will in the bright daylight, during this generation at least, dare to expel from the Halls of Congress all the Representatives of a State, who have been duly elected according to the ordinary forms of law, on the day expressly appoint- ed by Congress for the election to be held. The Returning Board system has become too offensive and odious to the people of the whole United States, for any political party to adopt its maxims and practice at the “apitol of the Union. Iam also per- fectly satisfied that the laws of this State are now far more full and complete on the whole subject of elections than those of a majority of the States of the Union. The law is much more perfect than it was at the time the last election was held. The ‘Sheriffs, after that election, met and compared the polls for the votes for mem- bers of Congress, on the third Tuesday in November; whereas the law required them to meet and compare them on the 3rd Thursdag in August. ‘The law also then required the votes for Electors of Presi- dent and Vice-President to be counted by “the County Canvassers,” who were also directed to make out an abstract of the votes in each county, and seal it with the “County Seal,” although the law had not provided for any “County Canvassers” at all, and not more than a dozen counties in the State had “County Seals.” It is not necessary to pursue the argu- ment further. LI have shown that the STATUTE TAWS OF Worth: Carvtina, upon the - United States. of our State laws which can possibly be wrested into the semblance of the con- trary view. Of course I refer to sec. 2, ch. 22, of Battle’s Revisal. But if that section was still in foree, it would be con- trolled by sec. 25 of the U. 8S. Revised Statutes. But it is no longer in force, having been absolutely repealed by chap- ter 275 of the Laws of 1876-77, is incon- sistent with sec. 4, of said ch. 22, as amended by ch. 1, see. 1, Laws of 1876-77, and has been also virtually repealed by sec. 1, ch. 132, Laws of 1873-°74, as amend- ed by see’s.

Strange enough, for we had always been terribly poor down at Lowbridge, my widowed mother bringing up her four daughters with the greatest difficulty ; but when brought up, we were worth looking at, I believe. Healthy habits aud frugal living are apt to make good conditions, and Bess, and Amy, and Pa- tricia, and I, were as bright and handsome girls as are often seen. Bess and Amy were twins, with eyes as blue as the sea near which they were, born, rosy cheeks, and long, light-brown curls ; Patricia was a sparkling brunette, while I ws a perfect blonde, with crink- led hair, like molten gold. Great. hed wrote from “Dear Sister-in-Law : I am going to do myself the pleasure of visiting yon this summer. I hear that brother Abel has left four girls, and I want to see them. . I am getting on in years, and will make one of them my heiress,” ete. Aunt Betty of Fairhaven was worth $100,000 if she was worth a cent. Well, in due time she came. She put up at tle hotel, for our cottage at Low- bridge wasn’t big enough to hold her, with her maid, coachman, and carriage ; she spent the larger half of three days with us. We all thought Bess would be her choice, for father had named her Eliza- beth for Aunt Betty, though she had al- ways been “Bess” with us; but it was not either of the twins and it was not I— it was Patricia. ‘(Where did that girl get her black hair?” Aunt Betty asked, as soon as she saw ber. “IT think she looks like my brother | Luke, don’t you ?” asked the mether, wit) a wistful look. “The very image of him,’ Aunt Betty, turning pale. I divined then, as I learned afterward, that Uncle Luke had been a lover of Aunt Betty’s, when beth were young, before her marriage, and the fact seemed to have a power over her. She looked at Patricia until the girl blushed rosy-red, and would have slipped out of the room when she called her to her, and, drawing her down upon her knees ona footstool beside her, she put a withered hand cach side of the young | cheek, and said warmly : “My dear, you shall be my heiress.” So it was Patricia she chose to leave her money to; but we were not left out in the cold, for she sent the twins, who were only 16, to a convent schoo! for two | years and invited me, with Patricia, to the Hermitage. It was her home—a stately old mansion of grey stone, gloomy-looking on the out- side, but luxuriously comfortable and beautiful within, without being, in the least, modern. We had each a maid and the free use of the horse and carriage. . answered of 1874-75. The amendment to Battle’s -Revisal, sec. 4, ch, 22, (L. L. 1876-77, ch. 1, see. 1), and another to sec. 1, ch. wns sec’s. ] and 4), both escaped the notice of the Raleigh Observer, in its discussion of the whole question. I conclude by saying, that there are no defects in our existing State election laws, which necessarily require a remedy; and most assuredly there are none of such character as cannot be cured except through the help of the General Assembly, inan extra session, to be called by the Gov- ernor. If there were any real conflict between our State and Federal election laws, Congress is perfectly competent to make all necessary regulations in regard thereto, (Const. U. 8. Art. 1, sec. 4 -(1) ). The Colorado contested election case— although, the facts in that case do not throw much light upon the question in- volved in this diseussion—will probably suggest to Congress the propriety of 80 modifying the Federal statutes upon the subject of elections as to avoid any pos- sible conflict hereafter between the laws the States. JS. Hs ee eee To plant and harvest crops is attended with much care and expense; and most farmers exhibit commendable industry up to this point, but when those crops are to be fed out, many of them do it with the greatest rec\clessness. Corn is thrown to hogs in muddy, slushy yards; hay is scattered upon the ground; to be tramp- led in the manure by the cattle; and the cleanly sheep receive their hay and grain in the same manner. ane Washington letter: “The President and Mrs Hayes decline all invitations to the theatre and places of amusement. Man- agers feel that they have lost good adver- tisements, since they can no longer noti- fy the public that the President and fam- ily will occupy a private box during the performance on certain evenings. Mr. and Mrs. Hayes are very devout Method- ists. The White House and its inmates are exceedingly popular. There is a re- freshing absence of pretention and form- ality. The President and his wife have courteous, cordial manners, which spring from kindness of heart. They are quick and ready in conversation, so that there are no awkward pauses. They are net afraid to converse freely, and do not ap- pear to put any restraint upon their ut- terances, as though they feared misrepre- sentation. This, too, is a contrast to the ch. 1, sec. 2), it is a matier of grave doubt whether that body “can legates acts nt. last regime.” 132, Laws of 1873-74, (Laws 1874-75, | of the Federal government and those of After making this provision for our com- fort Aunt Betty excused herself from mak- | ing company of us, and we were free as lair to enjoy ourselves as we chose, pro- We chose to make a great many pleasant acquaintances, guided conscientiously by Aunt Betty’s wishes, and the result was but fortunately that was close by, and}. vided we did not interfere with her naps. | coy 1” “What?” cried mamma. “Mr. Redmond is dark and reserved.

He will be interested in the good of the until then.” Quite pleased with my scheme, I ran up stairs to give Patricia her congh-drops, sitting down at the window of het room, and bowing cordially to Mr. Redmond, whem I could see writing in his uncle’s study, in the great mansion across the way. The larches hid all the house but that one window. He was there a good deal, and I reflected that Patty’s blue silk curtains were more becoming to my style of beauty than to hers. “['}l bring my embroidery up and sit with you; Patty,” I said. “Do,” she said. “Lam tired of watch- ing the overgreens swaying about against that gray spring sky.” So I filled my lamp with rose-colored worsted, and_framed myself in the blue window drapery for Mr. Redmond’s ben- efit. Just the colors to set off the snow and pink of my complexion. I had the satisfaction of meeting his eyes more than once when I glanced over the way. “Seems to me you’ve wonderfully good spirits, Gert,” remarked Patricia languid- ly. The DeLacy dinner-bell rang, and Mr. Nedreond disappeared. “Well, I must take them in another di- rection now,” | said, rising. “I can’t give any more time to you, sis, for I want to finish my blue silk suit before Mr. Sherrington comes. You'd better takea nap.” Patricia settled herself obediently among her cushions. Suddenly she lifted her beautiful head. “Has Mr. Redmond called te inquire for me to-day, Gerty!” “No, I believe not,” I replied, indif- ferently. She showed a moment's sur- prise, then scttle herself on her couch again, and in five minutes was sleeping sweetly. The blue silk suit was finished, and, having laid aside my half-mourning for Aunt Betty and donned it, the family pronounced the effect charming.” “Is Mr. Sherrington coming to-day, Gertrue ?” asked mamma. “Yes.” “I want to say to you, my dear, that on Mr. Sherrington’s account, I don’t think | you had better—” she whispered, but I interrupted her by exit from the apart- ment. The next train brought Mr, Clyde Sher- rington. “How delightful that the spring is at haud,” said he; “the sunshine growing that I returned to Lowbridge in the sum- mer, engaged to Mr. Clyde Sherrington. He was wealthy, handsome, agreeable, well-connected. Everybody said, ‘Ger- trude has done well for herself.” That autumn Aunt Betty died. Patricia was to come in possession of her fortune in a year, when she was 21]—full and un- disputed pessession of $100,000. It was arranged that we were all to come to the hermitage to live. We did so, and had lived there quietly, as was becoming, for nearly a year, when Pa- tricia made the acquaintance of Mr. Gage Redmond. She met him first at a funeral—of all places !—the occasion cansed by the death Redmond being a neighbor of his. He was well-connected, but poor as achurch- mouse, people said ; “so of course he was after Patricia’s fortune,” mamma declar- ed. “Patricia is rich and beautiful. Pray don’t let her marry a fortane-hunter, mamma,” said I, looking up frem a letter I was writing to Mr. Sherrington. “I would not, if I could help it; but what authority have I, Gertrade ?” said my mother. “Ina few months Patricia will be in undivided possession of her fortune. We are here only by courtesy. The Hermitage is her home. I have no right to control her whatever.” “Bat your influence, mamma?” “Will have very little effect if she sets her heart on this Gage Redmond? Pray Gertrude, and attend to what I say. I want assistance in this matter.” “Please excuse me. I qm thinking of my own affairs just now, mamma. They may be of no consequence to you, but my letter is a matter of some importance to me.” I did not mean to be saucy, only pet- perience with four headstrong girls, bore it with me quite patiently. “Well, finish your letter, Gertrude, and then advise with me.” But my train of thought was broken, of our next neighbor, Gen.

We can’t afford to let | Patty make such a match as that, and so, as I don’t think I’m a totally uninterest- ing person—do you, Clydet—I am going ‘to try and flirt a little with Mr. Redmond. Now you won’t be a bear and say no, will | you dear? And you'll try to help us by ' devoting yourself a bit to Patricia, wou't you?” At first my companion did not believe that 1 was in earnest, but when convinced | of my sincerity his astonishment was in- expressible. I remembered that he stam- | mered out some faint objections, but I would not listen, and, before retiring that night, I whispered to mamma that I had | made it all right with Mr. Sherrington, | and she had only to observe how nicely 1 would manage the whole matter. I sent Patricia off in the morning to find arbustus with Mr. Sherrington, while I waited to receive Mr. Redmond. | When he came I was in the garden, and ‘hhad ordered lunch an hour earlier than usual.

Very nice of you to keep her out of the way ‘80 long,” I whispered to Clyde. He looked at me queerly, butsaid nothing. I did not want him to expostulate with me, as I believed he wished to do, and so kept apart from him during the evening, leaving him to play and sing with Patri- ‘cia, He was interesting, with his very nat- ural manner of reserved modesty. I was glad that Patricia found him so. He had pale, silken hair, that fell in shadowy eurls over a beautiful forehead, soft, dark eyes, softly-modulated tones. He con- trasted nicely with her dark, spirited beauty. “Clyde has an elder brother—Raymond —just the one for Patricia,” Imused. “TI wonder if it cannot be brought about.” But I soon had my hands fall, for at all hours of the day and night Mr. Redmond came to the Hermitage. And it was not long before my success as a decoy was patent to the most careless observer. He asked only for “Miss Gertrude.” He came solely to see me. In three weeks the crisis burst upon me. He proposed: “T used to think Mr. Sherrington was your lover,” he said, standing before me, thelight on his frank, handsome face, “but late observation has shown me that his visits here are for-your sister. Since you are free, then, will you not marry me? Lean snpport you well, Gertrude, or I would not ask you to bind your future to mine. The death of my grandfather two years age left me $50,000 besides some real estate. I havea pleasant home on the Hudson—retired, but elegant—where I would like to take you. What do you think, Gertrude? Could you be contented to leave your friends and live at Rose Cottage with me ?” My amazement allowed me to stammer nothing intelligible. In some distinct way I temporized the matter, and begged Mr. Redmond to give me time for reflection. He went away, making an appointment for the next evening. So thunderstruck was I by the revela- tion of Mr. Redmond’s wealth that I wan- dered about the house in a dazed way, not heeding how mamma was fretting abont Patricia, who had gone to ride with Mr. Sherrington. ° “What is the matter, mamma? Is it Sroing to storm 2?” I said, at last. “To storm? Nonsense! Where are your eyes, Gertrude? But it is nearly 9 o'clock. Patricia has been gone seven hours with Mr. Sherrington, aud I know something is wrong.” “What?” I demanded, arousing myself. “T don’t know.” Nine, 10, 11, and 12 o’clock passed. No carriage— Do news. At noon the next day the buggy drove into the yard. Patricia and Clyde Sher- rington alighted. Patricia coolly pre- sented her husband. They bad been mar: ried the evening before, by our pastor at Lowbridge. “So nice and quiet,” said Patricia. “No fuss, no notoriety.” She took her place coolly at the table. “You needn’t hesitate to take Gage now, Gertrude ; he’s dead in love with you, and as I like Clyde best, I thought Id decide the matter without any complica- tions.” I think I was dumbfounded. But I found my tongue when Mr. Redmond came that evening, and said “Yes.” I give my experience for the benefit of others. It is dangerous loaning one’s lover. ape THE CHOICE. A Quaker residing in Paris was waited on by four of his workmen in order to make their compliments, and ask, according to the common custom, for their New Year’s gifts, “Well my friends,” said the Quaker, “here are your gifis; choose fifteen francs or this bible.” “I don’t know how to read,” said the first,so I take the fifteen francs.” “I can read,” said the second, “but [ have pressing wants.” He took the. fif- teen francs. The third also made the same choice. He now came to the fourth, a young lad of thirteen or fodrteen. The Quaker look- ed at’him with an air of goodness, saying, “Will you tog take these three pieces. which you may gain at any time by your labor and industry?” “As you say the book is good, I will ‘take it and it to my mother,’ replied the boy. .He took the bible, opened it and found between the leaves a gold piece of forty franes. The others hang down their He came, pleased enough, and, as he | was especially fond of flowers, I had no difficulty in detaining him for more than heads, while the Quaker quietly told them that he was sorry that they not made a better the cheolate myself, and can recommend } ‘lump to his oldest. son. To. “influence” commit against his father.” that he ought to leave his fortune all in a him, the house was filled with clairvoy- ants, spiritualists, quacks, lawyers, &c., in the pay of the son. Once when the old man felt kindly disposed towards the younger son, a youth who resembled him was dressed up, and sent ‘to the slums, there to be seen and recognized as Cor- nelius at such and such places. But we can only skim over the less putrid points ofthe story. Justly does the Philadelphia Times remark : “Was there ever'a more disgraceful case before a court of law? Whether the charges are true or false, the whole busi- ness is offensive beyond toleration and ought to cover the name of Vanderbilt with shame. There is no such excuse for a contest that involved such a disclosure ; right-minded people would have sacrificed évery cent they have in the world rather than come before the public with it. Mrs. Le Bau and ber brother might well have taken a tithe of their portion rather than expose the skeleton, and William H. Vanderbilt should have paid thrige the amount that was asked rather than allow it to be exposed. It is as bad as the Beecher filth. The affair serves, however, to impress lessons of which the world is continually reminded, although it never learns to profit by them. Trite though they be they cannot be too often repeated. Riches, however desirable, never bring unalloyed liappiness, and too frequently crime and misery ghaw the heart that is covered by robes of the finest texture. Somebody has said that the Almighty shows his con- tempt for wealth by the kind} of people upon whom he bestows it, and long before him a wiser man said that money is the root of all evil. These considerations and others in the same vein that characterize the scriptures of all religions and the pro- verbs of all lands will not be likely to cause anybody to desist from the pursyit of riches,*but they should, in the light of such examples as that of the Vanderbilts, make men avoid hoarding for the sake of hoarding or for the sake of making a thank- less posterity rich in this world’s goods. Wealth selfishly acquired or selfishly be- stowed is ever a curse. What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and be pilloried by his children as a knave who was not fit to live ?” ae The next Mississippi Legislature, the Washington Star thinks, will be, proba- bly, the most unanimous legislative body, as far as politics are concerned, that ever met inthe United States. The Senate, thirty-six members, is solidly Democratic, and of the one hundred and twenty mem- bers of the House one hundred and four- teen are Democrats, four Independents and two Republicans. The Independents are so called because elected in opposition to the regular Democratic nominees, but they are also Democrats, so that of the one hundred and fifty-six members of the Mississippi Legislature one hundred and fifty-four are Democrats and two are Re- publieans. That will do pretty well fora State that has a majority of colored voters in its bor- ders, and we are truly glad to see such a convincing proof that our colored friends have not altogeter and everywhere closed the windows of their minds to the light of reason. , We would remark however, in passing, that our contemporary is mistaken in sup- posing the Mississippi Legislature will be the most “ananimous” legislative body that has assembled, for if we mistake not the Maryland ‘ Legislature has since the war been entirely unanimous in both branches. We would remark-also that the complexion of the Mississippi Legis- lature does not seem to bear out Mr, Hayes’ declaration that there are indications of a dissolution of the Democratic party in that State.—Ral.

Thirty “Phere will be two opinions as.to whether M Gisclon, in removing some of the eee pipe smoking, has or has not done a philar thropic work. If/his invention tends to pro- mute pipe smoking he has not; but if we con- sider that people will smoke despite all the preaching to the contrary that can be done, M. Gisclon deserves credit for obviating some of the expense, much of the annoyance, and posi- bly some of the dangers of the tobacco pipe. He soaks a pipe of common porous clay, worth a few cents in a mixture of ether and aleohol, to which a little rose essence is added and in which is dissolved 10 percent (by weight) of camphor, and 10 per cent of borax or other flux. With this is combined-a trace of nitrate of silver. In this preparation, as above stated, the pipe may be soaked or the compound can be applied with a brush over the parts it is desired to color. ‘The advantages of this treatment, M. Gisclon says are that the made to look like meersehaum and: to fine gloss; the smoke perfumed by the rose and e. pipe fa sraok~ camphor is agreeably aromatic, the cheap, and it will color nicely either by sm ing or exposing it to the light; in the latter instance thirty seconds’ exposure is stated to be quite sufficient. ee : Underground Telegraphs.

This was caused by the breaking down of the tres- tle work at South Fork Creek, 36 miles trom Charlotte, at 4.12 p.m. Friday exer: jog. The stream was overflowing from the reeent rains. Three cars wen} down, with the trustle, sinking in the water within a foot of the top pf the coaches. (here were twenty persgng on board of em, and no escape for them except hrough the windows. Strange to say the loss of }ife was not go great as would be experted. Jaines F. McLaughlin, of Charlotte, Was killed and his bedy 1epy- ered Friday night. A numker of the other passengers werk reaqned daring the night, some of them from the wreck, and athers taken from trees down the stream, Mar- velous escapes were made by R. Y. Me- Aden and John L. Morehead, of Charlotte, and o¢heys. But there were still a num- ber of missing persons on Saturday morn- ing, and the high waters prevented a thorough search, All day Sunday crowds were at the scene of the disaster searching for the lqst.

Messrs. Michael Hoke, Jacob Sumner and Harrjson Grice, were ceasing flarke’s opéék in thas vicinity, Friday niglit last, when the boat they were in capsized. Grice went down and never was seen afterwards. Hoke and Sumner climbed one on each end of the . ized boat, and passing under the ranches of an overhanging trec, Mr. Hoke caught hold of one, and sqme 40 or 50 yards below, Mr, Sunjner caught an: ether. The boat floated away, leaving them clinging to the branches. Hoke, it seems got a better position than Sumner, but neither could help the other.

The N. Y. Times, for instance, says that the silver bill is ‘‘one for which it is impossible to find a single strong reason in law, in morals, iu finance, or in the business condition of the country;” aud furthermore, that “in morals, it is, the most absolute dishonesty.” The Phil- adelphia Times (Independent) says, ‘this new scheme of twin bastard money and tainted credit, libels the integrity of our, | | ' press the faith of the country.” exclysiyely from the money influence® of of the country, the agricultural and me- chanicai elements, are alingst solidly op- posed to resumption at present as a cer- tain, deadly influence agains} their wel- fare, and favor one currency for the poor and rich alike.

D. R. Bruton, Presiding Elder of Salisbury District, called the House to een teecaseamenell THE CURE OF DIPHTHERIA. Dr. E. X. Chapmaa, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has giseovered an antidote to the poison of @ipbtheria, by centage of deaths is reduced to legs than one in fifty. _ Statistics show that the per- centage of recoveries in cases treated un- dler the usual practice is about thirteen, or eighty-seven out of a hundred suffer- ers suceumb to the fell disease. Diphtheria first appeared in this soun- try in 1858. Dr. Chapman, in 1859, lost several eases, and became distrustfal of the regular methods. He had been using alechol in the cure of ship-fever, and he determined, though contrary to all rules, to try it in diphtheria. He then tried quinia, and found it acted well, but not soquickly. Atlast he settled ona combina- tion of the two, alcohol and quiniaand with these remedies, he claims that diphtheria is more amenable to treatment than many common diseases. In an epidemic, such as diphtheria, all are affected by the mor- bific agent ; but a few only yield to it. Mature, vigorous persons have vitality euough to resist the disease. Children and weakly adults are its usnal subjects. Dr. Chapman considers that there is, al- most always, super-added a local and di- rect exciting cause, such as defective ex- ercise, improper diet, dark rooms, damp houses, imperfeet ventilation, and poison- ous sewer pipes, ete. To such agencies the strongest constitution will soon suc- cumb. The blood being deteriorated, its crisis is impaired and its vitality lowered; and then the sympathetic nerves, failing to receive due stimulus, waver in their efforts to carry on the animal functions. “All local treatment,” he says, “is worse than useless. It exhausts the nerve force and induces greater injection of the blood vessels, thas favoring the exudation. ‘‘Aleohol neutralizes the diphtheritic poison, sets free the nerves of animal life, subdues the fever and inflammation, de- stroys the pabulum that sustains the membrane, cuts short the disease, order, and Rev.

This is the one sentence which takes the courage completely ont of youth, searing their consciences as with a red hot iron, and permitting despair to carry them off bold- ly into the depths of crime. “Oh, they all do it: why should not you ” ‘That is the snggestion. ‘That man there lies and cheats, and will com- mit any crime which the law does not make dangerous. So it is with all of them, be different from the other people.” Such is the way the temptation comes to the young man thrown on the world with lit- tle knowledge of its ways, and perhaps shielded by the loose training of an over- fond mether. ‘People are grossly im- moral it is said.” Even temperance ad- yocates get drunk in private: church dea- cons swjndle Sayings Banks; all you see of morality is but a surface show.

There are yet living a few people who do not know of the ways of this wicked world. Deacon V of our county is one of these. Wednesday, wandering abont the circus tent in a maze of stupe- fying refleetions, his ear caught the gold- en words of the “gift man.” The good deacon was attracted to the spot and here is his tale: “Well, I saw him put the sixty dollars in a envelope, and lay it in the pile, I was sure of it. I reached for my pocket book and handed him three $10 bills, the price asked for a pick at the pile, keeping my eye on the particalar envelope all the time. After I planked down my money, he told me to “draw away.” ‘Ah! you wicked eireus man, I'll teach you a lesson this time,’ I thought as I drew the covet- ed envelope from the pile, opened it, and —great Jerusalem ! not a cent in it. The boys cried oat, “gold agin old ‘an and got the tin” but the loss of my $30.00 made me too despondent to enjoy the joke.” Another citizen of our county lost $40. 00 at the same game. Directly after los- ing this sum, he was so infatuated with the game, that he tried to borrow $100.- 00 to try his luck again. Fortunately no one had that sum to lend him. People who are so easily mislead as to try and beat a sharper at his own game, have no sympathy from us.

The number of useful plants has been established at 13,000 ; and how useful they are we can form no opinion, unleas we di- vide them inito groups. Thus, 50 are known as cereals, 100 yield us 4 supply of fruits and berries, 450 vegetables and sal- ads, 31 sugar, and 32 arrow-root. If the tea and coftee plants should fail, 129 oth- er plants will provide substitute, The arts and mannfacturers are largely indeb- ted to many 4 strange-looking plant. In- dia rubber is found in 96; gutta percha in 71; gums, resins, and balsams, in 389; 10 yield wax; grease and essential oils can be extracted from 330; 88 planta contain potash and soda, and 47 soap, The dyers ean chose from 650, and the makers of perfumery from 266; while paper-makers, builders and roofers can command the ser- vices of hundreds of plants grown in all parts of the world. Seattered here and there, in various places, trees and plants are found suitable te the want of the in- habitants, The South Sea Islander rests under the shade of the “bread fruit tree,” caring but little for the future; the na- tives in some parts of Asia and Africa de- pend almost entirely on the palm for food and clothing ; the Chinese thinks himself fortunate in having the bamboo, which supplies him with a certain kind of food as well as material for his chairs, tables and bridges. Some plants are only found in certain portions of the globe where the climate is favorable to their production, Those most essential to our comfort we find in every quarter of the globe, where they seem to flourish and “bring forth abundant- ly.” Of this latter kind is the flax plant, which is met with, not in one solitary spot, but in Rusaia, India, Egypt, New Zealand, as well as in the more temperate climate of Europe. When we think of the compar- ative ease with which it may be cultiva- ted, its value to the farmer and manufac- turer, we are quite prepared toa endorse all that was said by a writer years ago, when he affirmed it to be, for 9 plant not to produce food, “the mast useful plant in the world.” The truth of this asser- tion we shall endeavor to prove, by draw- ing attentian to some facts connected with the early history of this wonderful old plant, the value of its fibre, and the val- ue of its seed. It is about two or three feet high, has a slender straight stem, branching only at the top, with small leaves and bright blue flowers ; it blossoms jn Junc and July. From the fibres of its inner bark when separated from the woody portion of the stem we have flax or lint, of which linen thread and cloth ar@made, and from its seeds when crushed we obtain that impor- tant article of linseed oil. That the flax plant is a very old one, we have abundant evidence in the Bible, and that linen was made in those early days is equally evi- dent, for weaving is mentioned in time of Abram, who said to the king of Sodom: I will not take from a thread to a shoe latchet,” &c.; Rebecca covered herself with a vail when she saw Isaac; Pharaoh, king of Egypt, ‘arrayed Joseph in vest- ures of fine linen,” and Job says; “My days are swifter than a weayer’s shuttle.” These illustrations prove that weaving and woof was of great antiquity, and not of modern invention. In the time of Moses the land of Egypt grew not only corn in abundance, but flax as well; and the flax was used for the manufacture of linen. An examination of the cloth in which the mummies of Egypt were enveloped, was made some years ago, and proved by the microscope to be not only linen, but some of it linen of the very finest kind. Rahabin Jericho, covered the spies over with flax, which she had laid on the roof of her house to dry. Five hundred yeats after the death of Moses, Solomon imported linen yarn from Egypt. The prophet Ezekiel in speaking of the riches of the merchants of Tyre, says: “Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt, was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail.” In the prophet’s time sails made of matting were common, hence sails made of linen must have been rare and costly. Moses was told to make curtains for the Tabernacle of “fine twined linen, and blue, and pur- ple, and scarlet ;” and the vail of the Tem- ple at Jerusalem was made by Solomon of “blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen.” Alexander the Great is said to haye had ‘(sails or linen flags, that were dyed with colors.” The priests who min- istered in the Temple wore linen gar- ments, probably because they were cooler than cotton or silk. Egyptian priests al- ways wore linen, Wool was so much dis- liked that the very lowest of the people never used it, or allowed it to be employ- ed even jn their burials. This hatred of wool extended to the flocks and to the shepherds who attended them ; so we read that “every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians,” How they managed to dye the linen in such beautiful colors with drugs, which, we are told, had no color, we know not, but it js certain that the color was permanent. These old Egyptians who lived some three thousand years ago, had a knowledge of chemistry which, we who live in modern times do not possess. Comingdlown to these times and our cowntry, it appears that Massachusetts introduced the linen manufacture into the United States. In 1640 the Assembly took the matter in hand and decreed that: The court taking into serious consider- | Magistrates Towns to acquaint with, and to make enquiry w in every skillful in the breaking, spinnin weaving, what means far the pro Town, what men and woman ore wheels ; and to consider with those skill- fal in that manufacture, and what course the boys and > be taken for teachin vir spinning of the girisin all Towns the yarn, and to return to the next Court their several and joint advice about. this thin for the spinning and weaving of Cotton and Wool, In 1662 the laws of Virginia required every one who paid tithes to produce yearly two pounds of dressed flax or hemp. Denton says of the Dutch matrons and maids of New Netherland, New York, in 1670: “Every one make their own linen, and a great part of their woolen cloth for their ordinary wearing.” . [TO BE CONCLUDED.) —_-_— SAVING SEED CORN. The best time to save seed corn is at husking, or while the corn is yet hanging on the stalk. Select the best ears, those that are bright and plump and well filled to the tips. Then leave on three or four husks to each ear by which to braid the ears into a “trail,” which should be hung in a dry place. An ear that has been heated by being in the middle of a large stack, or one that has been wet by rain inside the busk is unfit for seed; ita vital- ity has been impaired. Henry Ives, of Batavia, writes to the Rural Home the te- sult of saving only the upper ear. He says: I have just examined a piece of evergreen sweet corn wh ich was planted with seed selected by using only the upper ear where two grew an a stalk last year. The result is that nearly every stalk has two ears on; cven five atalka in ene hill gave ten good ears, and I think there was as many single stalka with three ears on as there were with only one, but the two ears to the atalk was almost universal. Now, aagwe are so often reminded that we can improve our corn by sclecting seed, let ua take the more pains thus to improve this most noble American pro- duct, _ - ——2_>- BEET SUGAR, The Country Gentleman, in an article on beet sugar, in which it correctly states the disabilities in its manufacture in the United States, concludes as follows: The manufkéture was originally com- pelled in France by the interdiction of cane sugar, and was long held under the fostering care of government. Within a comparatively recent period it has be- come self-maintaining, and indeed capa- ble of yielding a considerable tax. But if we are not mistaken, it is because large capital is employed at the works—produ- cing the roots, or engaging them to be produced by the neighboring peasantry, at the smallest possible cost; maintaining very large stables of fattening cattle to consume the residue of the roots after the juice has been expressed, and depend- ing about as much for profit upon sales of these to the butcher as upon sales of sugar. The price obtained for beef must be considerably higher than here—possi- bly a difference in itself sufficient to de- termine the questson of profit or loss. Beet sugar is inferior in sweetening capacity to cane sugar, and to compete with it, should be therefore sold at a lower price. While cane sugar can be bon ght, granulated for example, dry and white, at 12 to 13 cents per pound, we see but little opéning for the attempt to raise beet sugar. Sea POTATOES. Some investigations by Prof. Hallay have been set on foot to ascertain the most profitable way of growing potatoes, the experiments extending over a series of four years. From these it results that potatoes with a rough surface are both in quantity and quality the most recom- mendable. They contain less water and more starch. If the potatoes used as seed have been air-dried, and withered, the re- sult has been a harvest of especially large tubers, not less in number on the average than if the seed had been in the usual condition. Prof. Hollay believes further to have reasons to conclade that as to the position of the tuber in the earth, it is best to lay the tuber navel uppermost. The reason is said to be that in this posi- tion the germs spread wide apart, and are deeper in the ground. The same has been observed with potatoes cut in pieces, when the cut surface should always be uppermost. The Gulich method of allot- ting to every plant a hill for itself, hilling crosswise and giving space freely has heen surpassed by the common Silesian method, with the plant sixteen inches apart, laid in a groove six inches deep and thirty inches apart. The former method is said to foster the best seed potatoes, but equaling the latter in quan- tity. As to hilling, the sooner this is done the botter.—Cerman dence, ‘orreapon- -_-——— >< _ooe—_____— TOWN FARMERS, The following article which recently appeared in the Southern Cultivator, we commend to the censideration of all town farmers in our State, and especially to those in the country who think of moving to town. ‘(When I lived on my farm, I attended te my own business in person—overseer- ing my overseer and everything else, and I prospered at it in. everything and in every year, I had plenty for man gnd beast, and sold more of other things than I did of cotton. I sold corn and fodder, and wheat and oats, and barley and pota- toes, together with beef, bacon, lard, mut- ton, wool, etc. I may add we had geese, — — = ‘bags ot night ink eT of | all things felt the change. Do you know The like consideration toe be had | 45 tc 3 or 4 desolate old ganders, too tough for Cuffee’s teeth. _ Bee hives from also had many hives of bees.- Mr. Editer, did you ever tire of milk and honey, or batter and eggs? If I ever did, I do not now, for in an evil hour I left my farm and removed to town, and the farm and a thrifty farmer who lives in town? I don’t. From that 100 head, my cattle fell to less than 40, Hogs from 300 to 100. Sheep from 85 to 7, chiefly by dogs (yet we cannot get a dog law). Geese from 15 to 20 down to 3 or 4, and they saved in a pine pole pen, under a lock and key, The negroes said the overseer’s wife ate and sold all the chickens, and she said the darkies devoured them; and so on of everything. The prospect that the Cul- tivator helped me so much to achieve, all gone. Now regretful memories crowd upon me in my moody moments. But I will never again be tronbled in seeing the sills of my barn bending under the weight af 800 or 1,000 bushels of wheat. Iam in tewn, however, tremendously reapectable (if it was a negotiable commondity, I would exchange some respectability for bread and butter)—I wear “store clothes,” instead of waluut-brown home made jeans, as formerly, and I eat “town victa- als,” such as itis. But let me whisper a word in your ear, and don’t let it get out: to kill a chicken is as great an event now as it was to slaughter an ox when I lived at the plantation. I have ceased to won- der at Jacob’s children longing for the leeks and enions of Egypt. If I. could shake off a few years from my shoulders I would fly to my farm and prosper again, as I did while on it, for 2 and 2 will al- waya make four while the world stands. Any farmer who is willing to live hard for a year or two, then buy for each, pay no interest or credit prices, will thrive, if he works and manages well.” —_— —_-<-—__— COMMON SENSE IN PLOWING.. . Teams drawing loads on the roads get a breathing spell on the descending ground, when in plowing the draft is the a certain number of pounds that a team can draw day after day and not worry them, but if more be added, even as little as fifteen pounds, they walk unsteadily, fret and soon tire. No amount of feeding will keep them in condition. I have many plows in use, on which it has been an easy matter to decrease the draft twenty- five pounds, and if men had been draw- ing them instead of horses it would have been done. It must be plain to the farmer that every pound taken off the draft of his plow is so much gained for his horses. It may be done in this way: for any soil except.sand or gravel, use a steel plow. Their cost is but little, and the draft enough less to pay the difference in plowing twenty acres. In plowing sod the coulter does a great deal of the work, and should be kept sharp by forging at the blacksmith’s and grinding every day if necessary. Of course it will wear out the sooner, but new coulters are cheaper than new teams. Set the coulter in the line with the plow, and edge square in front, with an angle of 45 degrees from the point to where it is attached to the beam. When the share gets worn out, it is poor economy to use it any longer, but replace it with a new one. Let the traces be as short as will allow the horses to walk without hitting their heels against the whiftletrees, and have just pressure enough of the wheels on the ground te make the plow run steady. If the han- dles crowd continually one way, the draft is not right, and if the plow is a good one it can be easily remedied at the clevis. traces in turning, fasten a weight of about three-fourths of a pound to cach single- tree—that is, on the right end when you turn to the left, and vice versa. Every farmer knows that horses are susceptible to kindness, and equally so to unkindness. I have seen horses that were working steadily, made reeking with sweat in a short time by a sharp word or a jerk on the bit. Let your horses de their work as you do yours, as easily as possible, same from morning till night. There is}. To prevent the horses stepping over the | herbs, each of which is highly effective, they are in such a manner as to produce astonishing results.” VEGETINE Is the great Blood Purifier.

An American farmer of note, after vis- iting England and examining with the critical eye of a practiced and experienced agricuituralist the system pursued there, says: “I am thoroughly confirmed in my old faith that the only good farmer of our future is to be the ‘high farmer.’ ‘There is a widely prevailing antipathy among the common farmers of our country against not only the practice of high farming, but against the use of the phrase by agricult- ural writers. This is all wrong, and should be at once corrected. Through some misconception of the meaning of the phrase, and its application, they have come to believe it synonymous with theo- retical ‘book-fangled notions,’ boasted progress, followed by disappointment and final failure. This is ailan error. High farming simply means thorough cultiva- tion, liberal manuring, bountiful crops, good feed, and paying profits therefrom. It is not strange that misconceptions have arisen in the minds of donbting farmers who have been eye witnesses to some of the spread-eagle experiments of enthusi- astic farmers, better supplied with money obtained in a business they knew how to manage than with practical experience on the farm. Bountiful crops and paying profits, of course are what farmers who are depending upon the farm for an in- come are striving to obtain; and every year as it passes is reconfirming the opin- ion that profits are small, and will grow beautjfally less where high farming is not ation the’ absolute necessity for the rais- ducks, pea-fowls, turkeys, with from 150 practiced.”— Home d Farm.

FOR THE WATCHMAN _ VOL. IX—THIRD SERIES —— (From the Nashville Ciristian Advocate.) LETTER FROM BISHOP MARVIN. THE SEA OF GALILEE. —— What a contrast with the time when Tiberias was a flourishing citys and Ca- yernaum almost rivaled it; when Chora- zin, Bethsaida, and Magdala, were bust- ling towns; when there were at least two Roman garrisons, one at Tiberias and one at Capernaum; and when hundreds of boats dotted the sea with their white sails. Death, death, death! ‘Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida !’ You have rejected Him and his mighty works. The bolt that is to smite you i8 already forged, ‘And thou Capernaam— exalted to heaven—shall be east down to hell.’ Tlis is one instance, least, in whieh prophecy has tiken € on persons, but on stones. been left upon another. All these silent and desolate shores are under the rejected Messiah. The most fearful thing in the universe of being is love when it flames into jealousy. The wrath which is the most consuming is the wrath of the Lamb. ‘Let italone this year’—it is the voice of Incarnate Love—of the Intersessor. ‘1 will dig about it and dung it’—I will ex- haust all the resources of cultivation upon it—it is thé labor of Incarnate Love. ‘Then, after that,’ if it remain unfruitfal, ‘thou shall cut it down.’ Works that would have brought Tyre and Sidon to repentance were done here to no avail— and then came the ax, which was already lying whetted, at the root of the tree. ‘Cut it down.” Ah! it has been dag up by the roots. Death, death, death! Yes, the doom has fallen, and DeatH reigns over the sea and its shores where the Lord of life came and offered himself to man, and was despised and rejected. Thistles six feet high, and as thick as barley in the field, cover and hide the ruins of Ca- pernaum; and as for Bethsaida, there is no trace even of any ruin. Indeed, the same is true of Capernaum if Kahn Min- yeh be the true site. Poor patches of wheat dot the slopes which once waved with a uniyersal har- vest—and even Gennesaret, that fed its thousands, is little more than a mass of rankest bramble. It has been, indeed, more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon, even in the judgments of time; for, smitten as they are, they still exist. Our object in visiting Tell Hum was net only te-get a good stund-point from which to survey the lake and its shores, but to get a sight of the locality and rins as well. The rim of the lake here is com- posed of round stones, some the size of a man’s head, some larger, some smaller, worn smooth by the waves, but evidently of volcanic origin. A very few steps brought us up to the edge of a level plot of ground of perhaps a hundred acres, with a rather gentle ascent of the ground around it on all sides except the front. This was covered with a mass of weeds and shrubs in which the thistle prevailed. The growth was exceeding rank. A few tourists who had proceeded us had broken a narrow path to the ruins. Some areh- wologists assign a portion of these ruins to the beginning of the Chuistain era. The most massive are supposed to be the remains of a synagogue, and if this was Capernnum, it may have been the work of that pious centurion of whom they said, ‘He lovetn our nation and hath built us a synagogue.’ They are very massive, and in good style of art, but 1 cannot un- dertake any description of them. There are other remains supposed to be those of a basilica, built on the traditional site of Simon Peter’s house, in the sixth century. ‘These ] did not examine par- ticularly. The ruins of a massive public edifice raise a strong presumption in favor of | this as the site of the principal city on this part of the lake, and especially as there are no such remains at any other place. It would be a most singular thing that the only building of such size and material as to resist the ravages of time should be found in a village, and none such in the only city of the neighborhood. But whether this ought to outweigh the considerations which favor Kahn Minyeh as the place where Capernaum stood, or not, L leave others to determine. Tiberias, built by Herod, and named for the Emperor of Rome, was never, 80 far as we know, visited by our Lord. It was some eight miles south of Capernaum, on the west side of the lake, and was the largest city in that region. Having been built on a grave yard, the Jews refused to settle in it, and so the King had to get strangers to occupy it. It was essentially a heathen city, and noted for its wicked- ness. I remember only one passage of Scripture that speaks of it, and that in an incidental way. The site of the old eity was nearer to the Baths than that of the present town. There are some con- siderable ruins there, but I had no time to examine them, though I took a moon- light walk to them. It is probable that our Lord was never in the streets of this city, and that there- fore it never had the opportunity of re- jecting him in any formal way. Does this account for the fact that it still exists? Who can tell? Yet even it, barely exists. The glory of it is all gone. It is one of the very strange facts of history that the place so abhorred by the Jews at first should have become a ‘Yet so it was. —Tiberias—and one perched high upen the mountains above it to the northwest, and overlooking it— Safed—which are held by many Jews now, and have been for many ages past, in as high regard, or negrly so, a8 Jerusalem itself. How it came about that the Rabbins connected the Sea of Galilee with the coming of Messiah, I know not, but the fact is cer- tain. tablishment of the great university of hat people in Tiberias in the early p art of the Christian era, or whether its loca- tion here rose out of that fact, I knew not; but for three centaries that university was.the great center of interest and sacred learning among the Jews scattered’ over ee ee ree Here the 1 ‘@isti guished Rabbians were trained, and here gum. There are two places, one ov the lake Whether this belief led to the es- Co ae ara : they tanght the Law and the Tar- Here also was ‘the seat of the Patriareh, who exercised an almost papal sway over the wide extent to which his exiled country men had been seattercd.’ It became a received tradition among them that Messiah would rise out of the Sea of Galilee, land at Tiberias and fix the seat of his kingdom at Safed. Thus this sheet of water became as dear and sacred to them as to the Christians, and to this day many of them make their home iv Tiberias, and in Safed, looking for the day when the Delivered shall come. They cherish the words of the Rabbins, ‘“‘T have created seven seas, saith the Lord, but out of them all I have chosen none but the Sea of Gennesaret.” After a brief examination of the ruins of Tell Hum, we returned to the boat, for we had no time to spare. At the water's edge we found a few oleanders, but they were not so large as I expected to see. Our boatman toiled at the oars with hear- ty good-will; we passed near the mill which they call Bethsaida, aud saw our luggage train coming up through the plain of Gennesaret. Landing a few rods fisherman accompanied us out a quarter of a mile to the place where our horses were already awaiting us. Coming to a brook too wide to step over, one of them stepped into the water, and putting his strong arm around me lifted me to the other side as lightly as if I had been a child. We passed through a jangle, and then came-to a patch of the raukest wheat planted in the most slovenly way. land this plain of Gennesaret is! Our horses were now in sight but our friendly boatman did not leave us. They held our stirrups when we mounted, and shook hands with us with au unmistakable cor- diality. It was the ouly instance of any attention being paid. us in a special way by the natives, in all Palestine, that did not seem to contemplate backshish. For one, I felt gratified that this exceptional instance shoald appear in the case of fish- ermen, on the Lake of Galilee. Passing northward, we ascended out of the plain, and soon reached the summit of the mountain, where we had the lake in full view again. We paused upon our horses to look upon it for the last time. Perhaps it is natural, if not excusable, in writing about these hallowed places, after having seen them, to exaggerate the emo- tions which were felt at that moment. But of that one sin I have not been guilty. Any statements of the sort that I have made have bee. well considered, and certainly this last sight of the waters 80 often traversed by the Master, and around which so great a portion of his teaching and his mighty works were done, I did experience the deepest sensibility. Stand- ing upon the shore, just down there, with the lake spread out before him, and the harvest covered slopes in the background, he had called Simon, and Andrew, his brother, from among just such fisherman as we had been with this morning, to be fishers of men. He had cast his com- manding eye on the sons of Zebedee, in the boat with their father, mending their net, saying, “Follow me,” and they “left their father and the ship and followed him.” There in Capernaum sat Matthew “at the receipt of cuatom,” when the charm of the Divine voice withdrew him from his money-bags, and he, too, for- svok all, and making a feast at which the friends he was leaving and the Master he was going with should meet, thenceforth followed him withsoever he went. But there, in such a boat as we had been in, he was asleep on a pillow in the hinder part of the ship—mueh in the same posi- tion as we had seen one of the Boatmen asleep to-day—when a fierce storm swept down from the mountains, and the dis- ciples, affrighted, called him, and he arose to rebuke the wind and the sea. There, in the dead of night, he had come to his disciples in the boat, walking on the tem- pestuous waters. Overlooking it, proba- bly on the heights of Hattin, he had de- livered the Sermon of sermons, In sight of its waters, whether on Tabor or Her- mon, he had been transfigured. There his gifts of healing were showered among the people with a divine beneficience. All its hills and all its ripples had been made radiant by his presence. Even after he suffered he had met his heart-broken dis ciples there, after their night of fruitless toil, feeding them, with human tenderness, with fish broiled upon a “fire of coals,” apostate Peter. themselves upon its scenery, think—in itself; unatterably so in its /\is- tery.

Why does perspiration sometimes be- come visible in drops on the skin? Because in such cases it generally aris- es from some violent exercise or cxcessive heat, and is produced too copiously and freely to be immediately absorbed by the atmosphere. Why is a person less apt to catch cold from being wetted by salt water thau by fresh ? Because water impregnated with salt evaporates more slowly than fresh water, in consequence of which the heat of the body is more gradually abstracted ; and also becanse the saline particles have a stimulating effect on the skin. Why is the hand better adapted for ap- plying soap to the face than a towel ora sponge ? Because the hand is not only soft and smooth, but is also endowed with proper- ties which render it capable of imparting a gently friction to the skin, more effect- ually than any other agent. Why should a moderately rough towel be used for drying purposes ? Because the skin requires a moderate amount of friction, which too rough a towel would exceed, and too soft a one be inadequate to produce. Why should persons not suffer their bodies to cool previously to going into a cold bath ? Because the temperature of the body being lowered, it possesses less nervous energy to resist the depressing influences of cold. Why should sea-bathing not be had recourse to when the frame is greatly de- bilitated 1 Because the organs have become too feeble to produce that reaction which gives rise to the glowing warmth on the surface of the body after immersion. And hence the shivering and sense of chill- ness which persons under such circum- stances commonly experience. Why is the appetite keener by the sea- side than under ordinary circumstances ?

HyacintuE Loyson, Priest. GENENA, Switz., Oct. 1877. It is work of superrogation to publish the above letter, inasmuch as it does not specify a single erroneous statement in the letter of “‘Irenseas ;” it simply denies the propriety of applying the term “‘idol- atry” to the Romish celebration of the iniou. But we give place to the letter, lest Father Hyacinthe should feel farther aggrieved ; aud in connection with it we reprint just what “Irenwus” wrote of what he saw : “The service was begun when we ar- rived, but the room was not more than half full when we entered. Others came in, until the hall was nearly filled. Very the open air, together with the bathing, augments the amount of insensible per- spiration, and occasions a greater waste of the body, which must be proportionate- ly supplied. the seaside ? blood. Why is bathing injurious after a full meal ? Because the process of digestion re- quires a uniform degree of heat, which is rendered irregular by the alternate chill and glow which bathing prodaces. the morning ? the sond uncovered, which continues for many hours to be exposed to the rays of the sun. During this period it acquires a con- siderable degree of heat. As the tide rises, the particles constituting the lower stratum of the advancing thin sheet of water, as they successiyely come into contact with the heated sand are warmed, expanded, and arise to the surface. Why, on a second immersion in the water, does the body feel colder than it did on the first ? Because, on leaving the bath, the sud- den transition to a cold and dense med- ium, creates ::n effort in the body to pro- duce heat or resist cold, and the contin- nance of this action, for some time after leaving the bath, occasions a second im- mersion to feel colder than the first. Why, after cold bathing, should the clothes be resumed as speedily as possi- ble ? Because the body is not restored to its ac- customed temperature until it is clothed, and by exposare to the air is liable to be- come chilled. Why is violent exercise after bathing injurious f Because the pores of the skin baving been recently cleared, their functions are thereby stimulated and calculated to throw perspiration more copiously than ordinarily.

Romish priests are at their old tricks in this city. Mra, Caroline A. Merrill, widow of Nathaniel W. Merrill, died here on October 18, leaving a large estate. She seems to have been an eccentric person, and of weak mind during the latter part of her life. Of this the Roman Catholic priests, who kaew of her wealth, took advantage, and, although she was reared and had always lived a Protestant, they persuaded her to make a will, leaving the bulk of her property, about $340,000, to Cardinal McClos- key. The will is to be contested by the rela- tives, and while we are opposed to the practice of contesting wills, which is growing »larming- ly frequert, we are equally opposed to priestly influence upon feeble-minded and aged per- sons in order to get possession of their mon- ey.—N.

Taking the average life of the insured at 40 years, and the average premium at $25 per $1,000, will show that the policy - holders iv those bankrupt companies were paying, in round numbers, annually $12,- 000,000 for what ? Taking a similar average for the com- panies now in existence will show that over $35,000,000 is being paid annually by policy-holders. And according to Shepherd Homans, only one-tenth of it will ever be required to pay death claims. Sixty-nine per cent. of all the compa- nies that have done business in the Unit- ed States for the past twenty-five years have (to use the slang phrase of a notori- ous stock gambler) “gone where the wood- bine twineth.” And it amazes the Hon. Commissioner for New Hampshire “that the subject of insurance should have met, during the past year, with such a merci- less onslough of criticisms, strictures, and denunciation,” with the failures at only G9 per cent. of the whole. Instead of “dissolving like lumps of sand” it is more like an immense land slide. No war is here made upon the princi- ple of life insarance.

COLONEL FORNEY’S TRIBUTE TO THE PRES- IDENT—HIS POLICY THE HOPE OF RE- PUBLICANISM. (From Forney’s Washington Letter to the Press.) Three years are a long time for a party out of power to adjust jtself to the possi- bilities of an uncertain campaign, and three years are a very long time to an honest man in the Presidency fighting for such'a mission as that of President Hayes, He has gone beyond the precepts of Abra- ham Lincoln; he has faced multitudes pledging himself that his professions were to be riveted by his practices, and in do- ing these things he has, as I have said, terribly shaken the organization 6f. his’ own party. But he holds the fort, and he told me the other day that he intended to hold it and to maintain its positfon. The American people are just now ready to give such a man a fall, fair chance. His integrity and firmness, extending through more than three years, will still further warm the hearts of this people. Parties can no longer cohere upon the old traditions; there is really nothing for them to adhere to to-day better than the policy ot President Hayes. The Republican party has only to bide its time and to place*full confidence in President Hayes, and if it does not succeed in the next Presidential election it will have so modi- fied the other party as to make all fature administrations of the government faithful interpreters of the wholesome and patriot* ic policy he so conscientiously inaugurat- ed and resolutely maintained. —_———~au—— When Mr. Mckee, the editor of the St. Louis Democrat, the leading Radical organ of the West, was in the penitentiary last year on account of his connection with the Whisky Ring, he employed an attor- ney named Williams to get a pardon for him from President Grant. He paid Wil- liams part of his fee. Williams got the pardon and very naturally wanted the balance of his fee, but Mr. McKee could not see the thing as Mr. Williams saw it. The value of Williams’ services seemed much greater to McKee a convict in the Penitentiary than to McKee a free man ont of the Penitentiary, by grace of Grant. Williams brought suit and McKee plead that even if he did promise to pay Wil- liams money, as alleged, to secure his to do it because such promise was unlaw- ful and contrary to good morals, and on Observer. —_——__ ~o—___—_ typhoid fever.—Scientifie American, ——————_ _~aaa--——— the pleasure of their enjoyment. those they hold most dear.

Mr, Kashammer preached at the Presbyterian ehyrch from Jahn xv, 14. We have rarely heard a discourse more forcible and impressive.

The Contest Over. —The struggle in the sulted on Saturday, in seating Butler, of 8. C., and Kellogg of Louisiana. Patter- son, of 8. C., and Conover, of Florida, voted for seating theae two claimants. It is said Patterson hopes Butler will stand between him and the 8. C. Peni- tentiary, where his crimes make his time and services due. No explanation for the carpet baggar Conover’s voting for the Democratic Butler has yet been suggest- ed. It may be that Conover has had the benefit of a Daniel to reveal to him the significance of the writing on the political wall, and wants to secure friends who ean do him some good, “Mr, Conover is not a beautifal person, in the eyes of the Washington correspon- dent of the Cincinnatti Enquirer. Thas runs the description: “Conover has lean, spidery legs, aud a medium-sized body, a sloucby andamiable manner, and ner- yous movement; a standing collar, deep- hemmed ; ia very bald, with darkish-red hair, like » back curtain from the poster- ior ; small, twinkling, blinking eyes, weak and bashful.

Mr. Hudson was then introduced, and delivered a very appropriate address to parents aud Sunday school teachers, dwelling chiefly upon the great responsi- bility reating on them in the formation of the character of the young, and ahowing how it must affect the character of the next generation of men and women jnto whose hands will seon pass all the grand concerns of religion and human affairs. His warning, exhortations and encourage- ments were faithfully delivered; and con- sidering the brevity of the address, its comprehensivencss was remarkable. ’ after singing another hymn, Prof. Mangum followed in an address especially designed for the children, whgae attention he managed to get from the start. His poject was tq bring them tg realize what a loving friend they haye in Jesus; and all must have felt the power of hia simple mode of impressing his thought upon his youthful audience. The exercises, which continued till san flown, were [closed with another beaa- tifal song; and as the great congregation slowly passed out, Miss Warner struck the keys of the Organ on the gallery, and filled the house with its grandest melo- dies. No important matters transpired dur- ing last week, Much time was spent in the usga] examination of character, and the Committees were preparing their re- ports'on various subjects ; and Candidates for promotion from one prder tq qupther | were undergoing examjpation. Qne of the most jmportant items of business taken yp at this meeting was the question of a division of the Confopence. The Committee having this subject under ration agreed unanimously, we believe, to report in favor of the divjgion, The following js thejr repert on the sub: ject: “The committe ig ypanimans in the opinion that the time hag eome when the conference should be deyided jntq two conferences, ‘The reasons for this pinion are the fojlowjng; ' «First, Jt js palpable fo ali Et conference has grown too large gnd burd- egnsome to be entertainéd pt jts apnual pean STBhe aay a” fa ai ‘ 3; WwW : © =— both in ¢ a dhe the wescrsiits, ave deprived af tile priyil ty, a priv and the blessjn oe an est. gs aceruing from Quy gaph- ach ec A fea ler d to wu theit Dr. Miller. Dr. Reprorp, representing the publish- ing House at Nashville, brought this institution prominently and impressively before the members of Conference ; and by a speech filled with touching appeals, awakened a deeper concern fur its pros- perity. The Doctor, it seems, has sus- tained the publishing House to the extent of all hia own personal property, and now asks the Conference to wake an appre- priation for its relief. The vext annual Canference will be held in Charlotte, An interesting incident occurred in the Conference room Tuesday night, A dele- gation of six or eight members of the col- ored Conference by previous appointment were formally received. They were cou- ducted immediately in frout of the presid- ing officer, Rev. O. Burton in the chair, and jntyoduced jn their official capacity as representatives of the colored Conference. Thay werg then shown to seats, and after a mingte ay two, one of their number arose and addypgsed the Conference in a speech of some 15 minutes duration, in the course of which he ggppoaaad fay him- self and the body he represanted the most cordial good feeling towarda the North Carolina Couference. He had been a slave in Tennessee—great changes had taken place and were still going on, He was now engaged iv the same work with those whom he addressed. He was sure he and those he represented had the sym- uthy of his white brethren in Christ. e believed there was a mutual and nat- wval sympathy between them, and that it would grow, and be 9 means of promoting the Master's work inthe earth. He asked that the prayers and efforts of the N. C.

Pregident Burton ;uaponded to these addrpages in a very happy manner, assur- ing them that the N, C. Conference never ad forgotten them and would never cease to pray and labor for pheir prosperity. The delegation then retired and Con- the reports of committees op charch pro- rty, the house jp Nashville, peri- of which passed, ference returned, to the eonsideration of udjeal literatyre, Sabbath sehoals, &c., all Several impromptu speeches were made during the evening, which served to show bread-tray of the skull.” We took occasion some weeks ago to show that Kellogg has no right to aseat in the Senate.

Waite, wife of Philo White, died at Whitesboro, N. Y., 29th Nov. 1877, aged 75 years,—both formerly of Salisbury, N. C. Although a native of this town, anda member of a once numerous and highly respected family, she was almost un- known to the present inhabitants. She was the daughter of the late William and Mary Hampton, and sister to Mrs. Mont- fort 8. McKenzie, of this county, and of the late Mrs. John C. Palmer, of Raleigh. She was married to Col. White, of New York, in the year 1822, with whom she resided here until about the year 1834, when they removed to Raleigh, N. C. Mrs. White has not, since then, been an {nhabitant of Salisbury ; but has made oc- casional visits to her family connections and friends, many of whom still reside in the county. Her last visit in company with Mr. Whit was made in the Spring of the present year, and she improved that occasion to visit as many of her relatives and friends as her age and strength would permit. They returned to their home in Whitesboro, N. Y., about the Ist of June. Mrs. White’s health commenced failing in the latter part of the summer; and with variable prospects, running through two or three months, it grew worse as time were on, until exhausted nature fell asleep in death. Mrs. White was one of the excellent of the earth. Atan early period, she counect- ed herself with the Presbyterian charch in this place, and ber life here, in that rela- tion, was characterized by the virtues and graces of the true and earnest Christian. Subsequenty, while living in Racine, Wis- consin, she Was virtually driver from the church of ‘her early choice by the aboli- tion fanaticism which prevailed among the Presbyterians of that city. She found rest in the conservatism of the Episeopal church, in which connection she continu- ed to the end of her life.

Bat it was not the purpose of the writer to do more than give a brief notice of this highly esteemed and honored lady, the incidents of whose life, in connection with her distinguished and honored husband, would make a yolumn of surpassing in- terest.

Wasuineton, Dec. 3.—The President blessed with health, peace and abundant harvests, and the increasing prospects of the early return to gradual. t of the country continues to be and must remain the most important of all our national interests. ‘The measures adopted were most in harmony with the constitu- tion and genius of our people, and best adapted under all circumstances to attain the end in view. The benificient results prove that these efforts are not now re- garded as mere experiments, and should sustain and encourage us in our efforts on the silver question. The President holds the ground that both silver and gold ought to be atilized in the curreney of the country, but he does not agree with those who would undertake to legislate that 90 or 92 cents worth of silver shall pass or be receivable in place of 100 cents worth of gold. The public debt of the country was contracted in the money of the world and with the understanding that it shoald be paid, principle and interest, in the money of the world. He does not, there- fore favor any legislation that woald force the creditors of the United States to re- ceive in payment of what is due them any silver currency worth less than par in gold. The President declares his be- lief in the good policy of using both pre- cious metals, but he states his opposition to any proposition that Congress sball exercise the power given it by the con- stitution to coin money and regulate the value thereof. ‘The President is in favor of making silver a liberal subsidiary coin with a legal tender limit, somewhat great- er than at present, but is not in favor of making it an unlimited legal tender. In treating of civil service reform, the Pres- ident’s message repeats in substance the the opinions expressed in his inaugural address. There is not much prominence given to the subject. The condition of affairs on the Rio Grande frontier, as shown by official reports, received by the administration, is briefly described and the considerations which led to the order to the commanders of the United States troops to cross the river when in full pur- anit of raiders and punish them on Mexi- can soil, are recited. While the President recognizes the delicacy of the position assumed by the goverument by the issue of that order, and is not unmindful of the fact that it may lead to serious interna- tional complications, he defends it ou the ground that in no other way could the lives and property of our citizens be pro- tected. He disclaims any intention or desire to provoke hostilities with the Mexieay republic. The affairs of the War and Navy and Post Office Departments rejected —27 to 29, F Davis nay.

THE DISTANCES OF THE PLANETS FROM THE SUN. Sir George Airy, the British Astrono- mer Royal, has recently published a re- port on the telescopic observations of the transit of Venus of 1874, made by the English expeditions. Vending the ap- pearance of the deductions to be made from the complete measuring of the pho- tographs, the result reached must be re- garded as provisional only. The mean solace parallax determined is 8.764”, and this is one tenth of a second less than has been given by the most reliable previous investigations upou different principles. Frem Professor Newcomb’s calculations, now adopted in most of our ephemerides caught hold of a tree, where he stayed until Sunday morning 8 o’clock, when he was rescued by a Mr. Liles.

The recommendations of the | heads of the departments are generally | approved. The discontinuance of the use of the army for the purpose ef upholding | local government in two States of the Union was ne less a constitutional duty | and requirement under the circumstances | existing at the time than it was a much | needed measure for the restoration of| local self-government and the promotion | of national harmouy. The withdrawal of | troops from such employment was effect- ed deliberately, and with solicitous care for the peace and gvod order of society and the protection of the property aud | persons and every right of all classes of | citizens. The result that followed are | indeed encouraging, resulting in concord, | friendship and patriotic attachment to the Union. ‘The co-operation of all classes, | races and sections is called upon to aid in handing down the free institutions of the government, unimpaired to the gener- ations that will succeed us. After a most anxious, careful examination, the Presi- dent declared himself as more than ever confirmed in the opinion that he express- ed in his letter of acceptance, and in his inaugural address, that the policy of re- sumption should be harried by every suitable means and that no legislation that would retard or postpone it ought to be enacted. He believes that any waver- ing in purpose, or unsteadiness in meth- ods, instead of relieving the country from any of the inconveniences attendant upon a return to specie payment, would only aggravate and prolong the distress al- ready caused by irredeemable paper cur- rency and end in serious disaster and dis- honor. ‘The mischief which would result from any other policy than the one witich will bring speedy resumption weuld not, he believes, be confined to any class of people, although he thinks the industrial masse would suffer more. Secretary Sher- man, in his report, does not ask for any additiona] legislation to enable him to carry the resumption act into effect, and the President, in his message, agrees with the Secretary of the Treasury. Congress was favorable to resumption and ready to assist the administration in bringing about speeie payment. Some addition- al laws would be needed. The Pres- ident agrees with the Secretary that resumption can be effeeted under the pre- sent laws by January 1879, and also agrees to the wisdom of the policy of not asking for further legislation, The Secretary also holds that the resumption act of 1875 does not require the cancellation and de- struction of the 300,000,000 of United States notes which remain after the notes of the greenback carrency has been re- duced to that point, and that it may be left in cireulation for awnile, being always exchangeable at the sub-treasuries for gold coin. —_—-- - + no It now seems quite sure that nearly all the persons who were injured by the re- the side of their only children, Esther, who died in infaney ; and Mary, the wife of the late Gov.

Salt, you know, is put up in bags weighing 196 lbs, The Stanly man soon grew tired of carrying one sack at a time, proposed to carry three at one time if some one would put them on his shoulders. Williams (that is his name) is a small, light built man and weighs only 134 Ibs. The clerk immediately took him up and proceeded to pile the salt on his back. When three bags weighing 588 lbs., were safely placed on his shoulders, he put his hands on his knees and walked off to the wagon, about 25 yards, at a 2.40 gait. This is an actual occurrence. We -think it aremarkable test of strength.— Concord Sun. — A Profitable Sow. Mr. T. L.

Ed. Goelet, a grandson of the distinguished North Carolinian for whom Bancombe county is named, has shown us the origi- nal of a letter written by Col. Edward Buncombe to Gen. Wasbington in 1777, Germantown, and just re his death from wounds receiyed ia that battle. Edward Buncombe, ¥gs colonel of the 5th regiment of the Nori#i Carolina linc, in the Cotitinental army; was severely wounded at the battle of Germantown, (near Philadelphia) om the morning of October the 4, 1777; was taken prisover by the British, and died from the effects of his wounds seon after. It was during those few weeks while a prisoner that this letter was written, aud after the war Gen. Washington delivered it in person to Col. Buncombe’s daughter Elizabeth, after- wards wife of John Goelet. Buncombe county, North Carolina, was named in greatful remembrance of her gallant son. Mobile (Ala.) Register.

F. Kiuttz’s Drug store. Three doses relieves any case of dyspepsia, constipa- tion, indigestion or liver complaint, in the world. Regular size bottles, fifly doses, 1.000, re POST OFFICE DIRECTORY.

His mame was Sir Henry Wyat. “Qn ane oeaaion,” aay® Mr. Hepwarth Dixon, they put him jo a cold and narrow tower, where he had neither bed to lie on, nor clothes sufficient te warm him, nor meat for his mouth. He had starved there, had not Ged, who sent 4 rayen to feed His prophet, sent to His and his country’s martyr a cat both to feed and to warm him. It was hia own relation unte them from whom I had it. A cat came one day down jnte the dan- gean untae him, aud, as it were, offered her services unto him. He was giad of her, and laid her in his bosom to warm him, and by making much of her won hex love. After this ahe would come eyery day unto him divers times, and when ahe could get one, bring him a pigeon. He complained to his keeper af his ald and short fart. The keeper replied that he dyrat nat het ter it, ‘But,’ said Sir Henry, ‘if 1 can provide any, will you promise to dreas jt forme?’ ‘I may well enough,’ said the keeper, ‘you are safe for that matter;’ and being urged again, promised him, and kept his promise, and dreased for him, from time to time, such pigeons as the cat provided for him.

It may be spread by contagion of the mucous sur- face of a discased with that of a healthy person, as in kissing, and {is to a limit ed degree an epidemic. From the local parts affected it apreads to the whole body, affecting the muscular and nervous systems, vitiating the ly mph avd vutrient fluids and producing paralysis. As soon as the vacteriam or fungus appears in white patehes on the throat, it should no more be neglected than a bleeding gash oy @ broken arm, and there is almost as little need of fatal termination in one in- cident as of the other. It has been found by actual experiment, both in and out of the human system, that this vaceterium is killed by several drugs, the safest and surest of which is chlorine water, diluted with the addition of from two to four times the volume of water. harmless, even when swallowed, aud is pretty certain to arrest the disease. A well known physician in this city, who has pursued the treatment for fifteen years, has found it effective almost with- ont exception, and has in that period of- ten broken up the disease in localities where it had raged violeutly and defied treatment. Prior to its use he lost three eases out of six, but has since used it with scarcely a failure during the above mentioned period.—Springfield Republi- can.

OF souTH Washington, Novémber 19,-Judge Mackey of South Carolina, is here ynder authority from the State Goverument to propose # gompromise with the President by which be shall agree to the democrats yuder indictment for kukluxing, if Gov- ernor Hampton will pardon the republi- can thieves. The judge, in an interview this eveping, states that the people of South Carolina are anxious fur this agree- ment, because about 2,100. of her best citizens are practically disfranchised or taking refuge in Canada till the storm blows over. They are out on parole, but the cases are liable to be Called any day, and juries are certain to be packed in the United States Court against them, because very few good citizens of the State can tako the ironelad oath prescribed by law. The exchange of prisoners would be fair All rornd, Of the 60 thieves now under conviction or likely to be, only a few are Democrats. Mackey says it was chiefly because the Republicans, when they had control of the coffers, were selfish and kept the swag in the family, On the cir- cuit there were only two Democrats mix- ed up in the rascality, and they were the only Democrats who held office in the district. He says the people waut to let up on Patterson because he means to vote for seating Butler, and their vengeance is directed more against those who took money out of the treasury than those who simply paid’ money to secure elections. It is learned that the President will not listen to this proposition when it is sub- mitted. —_- TIMELY ANECDOTE, (Hartwell Sun.)

After briefly reviewing the origin of the homeopathic schism, and the subsequent warfare, the writer, Dr, Richardson, F. R. S., says that many of the allopathic phy- sicians have renounced all the heresies of the past in the treatment of acute diseas- es; while homegpathie physicigns have, on their side, almost entirely abandoned the use of globaies, and have substituted doses in tangible form, their rule being to give a dose sufficiently large to effect its purpose, but not so large as to discomfort the patient. Both schools now use alike anodynes, aperients, opiates, anesthetics, tonics, galvanism, hydropathy, Turkish bath, and mineral waters. In short, he says, we define our practice as rational medicine, including the application of the law of contraries, but plus the application of the law of sim ilars. —— —. ee — 1,100,000 Lbs.

My DEAR Moruer:—If Lb remember aright, my last letter was written from Porto Grande, Cape de Verde Isles. Since jeaving that port we haye traveled over quite a waste of waters. We left Porto Grande oa Monday, the 8th, and after a jeasant little passage of a day we reaeh- ed Porto Praya, on the island of Sant Iago, another of the Cape de V’s. From our anchorage We had quite a nice view. The town stands on @ bluff about 500 feet high, thus showing from seaward only one line of houses which were, as a general rule, of only one story. The landing is made through very heavy % which by the way, is very hard on us, as the duty of janding devolves upon the junior officers, and where there is much surf, the respon- sibility is quite Et You know the danget 12 is by .of the capsizing, the slightest misman- agement. The inhabitants of this is and like all the others are negroes. We only remained one day in this forsaken place, and then took our departure for the West coast of Africa. The distance from Porto Praya to Monrovia is 900 miles, and it -took us nine days to make the passage, owing to the fact of frequent heavy rain squalls. ; The passage was anything but a pleas- antone. The sky would be beautifally clear one moment and the next as black as ink, with vivid lightning and deafening thunder, and rain by the ton. No matter how clear the weather looked, I never thought of going on watch without my “sain clothes on, and despite the water proofs, I getreretty eame off watch eom- pletely drenched. Who woutd have thought, say seven years ago, that I would be in Liberia. Whether any one would have thought so or ‘not, matters not. Still the fact is as it stands. I-cannot at present give much of a description of the place as | have not yet been ashore. But judging from appear- ances I would say it was ‘ta deuced fine country,” as the English have it. There are only about a thousand inhabitants, not including the natives, who, to judge from appearances, are very numerous. Owing to the malaria on this coast, and the fact of its being produced by expo- sure, every precaution is taken to guard against it. The men are not exposed to the sun or heat inany way. All the work is done by Kroo men who are hired here and cer-ied with us down the coast and then sent back by some other vessel. These Kroo men are a tribe of darkies, who, it seems, have the sole right of car- rying ships up and down the coast; they are marked by a blue ink mark running from their forehead down the tip of the nose. The dress of some of thein is really ridiculous. They are real savages in their mammers and especially in their dress. I asked one of them what his name was, he replied, ‘Aly name Upside- down.” The list of names contains suchas “Tom Liver,” “Jake Peasoup,” ‘Tom Dollar,” “Soda Water,” ete., etc. These are the only names they have. Queer names, are they not? Even rival our Indians in re- gard to names; such as Young-man-afraid- of-his-horses. The costume of them in their canoes is quite primative: for in- stauce, I saw a young man who was said to be quite a swell, dressed in a beautiful smeking cap and a string of beads around his waist. Sunday, Oct. 2Ist. Another day has passed and gone, and we are still among the heathen who] stand so much in need .{missionaries. ‘The Liberian negroes are avery religious set of people. (I don’t mean the natives). Entirely too much so for us: actually we could not get any fresh provisions this morning, they said; could not open stores on Sunday; what an idea ! : Mother, can you conceive how I am situated at present? I mean in regard to comfort, ete. There are five of us here, sitting at a small table in alittle cramped up steerage, below the water line and in a climate where the piercing rays of the sun show no mercy. Although, sitting here, melting as it were, we seem perfect- ly content. On wy left, Mr. P. is sitting, writing home; on my right sits G. engag- ed in the same way; while in a corner sits our Carpenter, Mr. R., reading one of Charles Reade’s novels; and benind me stands H., filling his pipe, preparing to taking it cool (?) on deck. [ am getting exceedingly warm, and_ were it not for _the trouble of making my toilet afresh, I think I would be tempted to close this and join H. on deck. By the way Mr. P. is from Norfolk, and a friend of L—o’s, anarmy friend. Perhaps L—o would be glad to learn something of him. His pay etc., is the same as mine. You know our pay-mastér, H—t, had sunstroke in Nor- folk and left the ships and of course he took his k. Mr, S---f then came, and gave P—y the appeintment of clerk. We are all very-much worried about our mail Which should have been here since we left Funchal, but not a letter when we got here. It seems the steamer did not stop. * * * * ® * * * * Your affectionate Son, RICHARD _——-- ~~ POPULAR ERRORS. To think that the more a man eats the fatter and stronger he will become.

To illus- trate my idea, instance, a factory running 1,000 spindles, making say 500 1bs of yarn per day. This amount sams up to 144,- 000 lbs for 12 months; to make this arzount of yarns would require about half million pounds of seed cotton. Eyen if eotton | mill owners had idle capital to invest in such amoant of seed cotton, and room to store it, unless it was more dry than it is generally stored in gin houses it would soon take a leat and be ruined and if dry eee to keep, mice and rats would in- Jjnre_it.. Were these difficulties set aside there is an obstacle to its use, Most of the cotton belongs to other parties than those who raise it, long before it is gathered, and the farmer cannot hold in the seed and sell to the spinner as he may want it, but must hasten it in a merchantable shape to satisfy the mortgages of Mr. Guano and Mr. Bacon. He also wants the seed (about the only part he falls heir to) to compost and plant on another crop for the above mentioned friends. For the above reasons I think it will be a long time before the machines now in use for preparing cotton for the cards will be discontinued, though I am willing to ad- mit they may make more waste and thread Jess stronger than the Clement machine. From the time Eve sewed fig leaves to make aprons to the present, nearly 6,0C0 years, our mothers, wives and daughters used needles with the eye in the wrong end. Mr. Howe saw their error and put the eye in the pointed end and then a revolution was wrought. Mother Eve’s necdle is not entirely supplanted, In regard to my mill, it is steadily at work making a njce grade of yarns. The last few days have been a hard time on cotton mills and will be, so long as such vast quantities of cotton are made by farmers. The South requires a division | of labor, more cotton mills, wool farms, | clover and bacon farms, cheese farms, tan yards and factor'es, wheat farms, and less cotton famms. The market has been glut- ted for years with cotton and cotton goods, | and it is more than strange that Southern farmers will make three and a half million bales of cotton when half that quantity | would cost them not over half the expense | and trouble to make it and bring them | money, When less cotton is made, then | our cotton mills will pay a handsome | dividend, As things are at present we must be content with small profits, sweet- ened with the patriotic motive that we are giving employment to the wives and daughters of men whe lost their lives in | defense of what they thought most dear to the South. Respectfully, Jno. T. Beciamy, ee Grant First, the Rest Nowhere. {London Truth, Nov. 8th.) General and Mrs. Grant arrived in Eng- land a few days before the celebration of Her Majesty’s birth day, and an invita- | tion was at once sent to them to dine with | Lord Derby at the Foreign Office; but, in learning that the Ambassadors would have precedence, the General, with thanks, | declined. Eventually, both he and Mrs. | Grant attended the birthday banquet at Apsley House, but they did not accept the inyitation until they learnt they were | to have the chief seats. It certainly is! difficult to see why General Grant, who has now no official position, should be “attended by an aid-de-camp,” and insist on royal honors for himself and his wife ; but, as this is the case all ought to con- | form to it. State, Each of the ninety-four Counties has a neat case, designated by name, and all are arranged in alphabetical or- der. We want specimens from each County of all varieties of Wheat, Corn, Oats, Peas, Rye, Barley, Rice, Buckwheat, Flax, Peanuts, Tobaceo, Cotton, Millet, Clover and Crass, Dried Fruit, Chufas, Molasses, Wives, Woods, Minerals, Stone, Marble,—in short, anything and every- thing that will illustrate the native wealth and capabilities of the County. Contribu- tors are supplied with shipping tags from this office. All charges are paid by the Department. ‘The name of each contribn- tor is placed on the article sent, Glass jars are provided to contain the various seeds, &c., and are properly and neatly rlobeled. ITS PURPOSES. The importance and practical utility of this werk is apparent for the following reasous : Ist. Having all the various products of our State thus collected and displayed, it is the cheapest, most effeetive and best method for advertising the wonderful adaptability of our soil and climate to their successful production. 2d. The steadily increasing numbers of those who are anxiously seeking informa- tion, in regard to our State, could here find in convenient and intelligible form, all our products, and could really learn more of the State, in a day, than by a year’s travel, 3d. it will be highly advantageous to our own people as a medium for the ex- change purchase, or sale of seeds, &c., anid for learning, either in person or through the Commissioner, more of the capabilities of the different sections and counties of the State. It will thus be seen that we propose to accomplish these desirable objects, by a plan that costs neither our people nor State a single dollar. I am fully persuaded that there area sufficient number of men in each County, whose enterprise and State pride would enlist their hearty co-operation in pro- curing and forwarding specimens, and to have, at an early day, such a display in ‘our Museum as could be found in no oth- er State ju the Union, if the matter were brought to their attention. IL earnestly hope that, by the generous aid of our State press, you will be enabled to acquaint your people with our purpose, and there- by secure that aid upon which we must rely largely for success. If this appeal to the patriotic pride of our people should still prove futile, will you be kind enough to suggest some plan by which the specimens can be obtained, | fer I am toe well convinced of the utility of this enterprise to abandon it, and I shall centinue to urge the matter upon the | attention of your people until your county is well represented. _ Very Respectfully, L. L. POLK, Commissioner. ae ooo On Tuesday, at Columbia, 8. C., the | United States Circuit Court opened, when Wm. Northrop, the recently appointed United States district attorney fer South Carolina, announced to the court that he received a dispatch from Attorney General Deveus notifying him that his appoint- ment as district attorney had been revok- ed by the President. Gen, Devens advis- ed that the court should adjourn for a week to await the further action of the President. Work on the Lee mansoleum at Lex- ington, Va., will begin in a few days.

The State needs good Yankee workers with capi- tal, and proposes to hold out inducements to get them. Mr. Dumont addresses him- self to such, and will speak in many west- ern Massachusetts towns, in Connecticut, in New York State and parts of the West. TO STARCH AND IRON SHIRT BOSOMS. Thinking perhaps some of the sisters of The Western Rural may have some of these particular yeung men in their fami- lies to do up shirts for, and not always having good luck, I will tell them my way of doing them. Take nearly a tablespoonful of starch for each bosom; dissolve in a little cold water and pour in boiling water, stirring briskly until it looks clear, be careful not to have it too thick; boil three or four minutes. If the bosoms and cuffs are dry, wet them in cold water before putting them through the starch; hang out on a line, and when they are dry, put them through some thin cold starch so they let them lie an hour or two before firon- ing. When you iron them, leave the bo- som until the last, then take a damp cloth and rub over it to get it smooth be- fore putting the iron on it. When the bosom is ironed dry, wring the cloth out of the water, leaving it pretty wet, and rab lightly over, then dry again. This makes the gloss. Ifthe starch sticks to iron it is because it is too thick. If you should happen to yellow it in any place (as is often the case) hang out in the sun- shine and it will disappear. Ifyou follow strictly the above rule I don’t think you will have much trouble. Can any of the readers tell me how to rid rosebushes from little worms which eat the leaves, and soon destroy the bushes entirely? Ifso they will greatly oblige, ADRIETTE, © ——_—__—_..q>o——____— THE NEWSPAPER. A writer of common sense, discussing the duties of the editor and the mission of the press, says: It isn’t boys play, reader, to make a newspaper. Everybody can’t do it, al- though they think they can. More excel- lent qualities of head and heart arc re- quired in the editor than in any other calling or profession in the world. He talks to more people than the palpit does, and talks to people of all grades of life and of all shades of belief. If conscien- tious, and no man who is not, has any business in the chair, he feels the respon- sibility of his position as if it were a mon- ument on his soul, He knows that the warfare, morals and growth and peace of the community depend largely upon his daily or weekly utterances. Many atime he draws his pen through lines which ex- | press a sentiment he fears may be misun- derstood and do harm to some of those he desires to make better, It is not an easy position—searecely a desirable one; and yet, if he happens to express a sentiment which does not suit the reader, the latter is uncharitable enough to lose no time in censuring him. The editor does not al- ways think as the reader does; he can’t. If he did, and never expressed a sentiment such as the reader cherished, what would be the object of taking his paper? It is certainly foolish to pay for a journal which contains a re-hash of what we have long before theught of ourselves. But, reader, when you are induced to find fault with the editor because he says something that don’t suit you, remember that yon can’t get a paper under the sun, if it amounts to anything, that will not sometimes say things that you can not agree to. —_——— ~~ ___—_—_ When a boy reaches the age of ten years he’s just old enough to wish his folks were dead and that he could ran away and be his own ‘boss.’ He desires to leave home so that in course of time he could return with big whiskers and mustache all over his face and scare his mother almost to death. These are a boy's first impres- sions. Years after, though, when he finds himself a bearded orphan, endeavoring to pay for his board, and concocting a plan to ‘stand “his washerwoman off, a tear steals down his manly cheek as he thinks of the good old time he had when his | parents were alive. will be stiff enough; roll them tight and’ ‘| change that had come over her, she display- atk ae 3 he | eS tgs 7 oO robbing thelr country, ‘oF natural pity fo ruining the the the records of the public press.

We exhort those of you who. preach Christ to preach right living, and to preach it not in| govereltes, but in defininte particulars. ultiudes in all communities weigh our work and learn the claims of our system, not from our literature, but from the lives of those whom we baptze and confirm. We are sent to call sinners to repent of specific sins of dishonesty and double dealing, of lying and cheating, of slander and swearing, of lust and idleness, of excesses in eating and drinking and dress, of gambling and right, and of the beginnings of all of these in- iquities./ We are to uncover all their mod- ifications, disguises, and apologics. We are to rebuke selfishness in all its ungodly shapes, impiety in all its practical prefa- nations; and, on the other can we are to instruct in and encourage, by precept and consecrated lives, all the virtues of a godly character—honesty and truthfulness, sin- cerity and constancy, moderation, sobriety, and purity of life, gentleness, compassion and charity. We beseech you so distinctly to practice the precepts of religion that men who see your manners may be able to give names to the graces and virtue which you illustrate.” It is cheering, encouraging,‘and strength- ening to find such plain expostulation against the terrible practical evils which are so prevalent, in the Church as well as out of it, ir these times. Not only Episcopalian preachers, but all other preachers, should heed it; and all the newspapers in the land should join with The Suw in perpetually | enforcing these fundamental features of true religion which have now ree¢ived the sanc- tion of the House of Bishops. . —————__ bea ee In a camp meeting in New York State a woman related her experience in giving up certain articles of ornament and gay attire that she had loved. She said that at first she resolved to wear no more artificial flow- ers, gay colored ribbon, handsome silks, ear ornaments, nor brooches; but one idol re- mained, It was her wedding ring. At last she resolved to throw this away, too, and when she did it the blessing of sanctifica- tion came. The Methodist says: “As she stood in the andience, relating the great ed an immense mass of false hair wound upon the back of her head, upon which was mounted a topknot of a hat, neither pro- tection from the sun or cold, nor ornamental to behold. She disclosed beneath a half cast-off-shawl, or corseted waist, which was reduced to such diminitive proportions as to appear painfully abnormal. She sup- ported paddings, puffings, panier and pin- back, and a dress bedrabbled to a depth of several inches, which is dragged upon the ground. As she sat down after her testi- mony and exhortations to erring sisters to renounce all pomp and glory of the world, she plied her fan and panted very like a ball-room belle who had waltzed too leng and was dressed too tightly to breathe with ease. When at the close of the meeting the woman walked away, she had a parasol, a fan and a hymn book to hold in one hand, and the other was employed in gathering and holding the front breadth of her skirts high enough to enable her to step, while the limit of her mincing gait was deter- mined by her contracted pin-back and stilted boot heels. And away she went, sanctified woman.” Oooo Tue managers of the Methodist propa- ganda in this city voted heavy sums of mon- ey yesterday for the benefit of the heathen, or rather for the missionaries whom they have sent to heathendom, They appropria- ted $14,000 to East China, $9,000 to North China, and $6,600 to Central China, They appropriated $16,171 to Japan, $22,850 to Mexico, and $77,620 to various countries of Europe, Altogether, there was great liber- ality displayed by the authorities of the Methodist Church in this city, and it is evi- dent that, though the times are hard and misery abounds, there is still a deep stream of wealth flowing into the missionary trea- sury of the Methodist Church. After the people who live far away have been turned into Methodists, there can be a good field found in this city for the right kind of missionaries of practical and genu- ine religion. Hery idolatry, devil worship and utter deviltry have got their coils around hundreds of thousands of people. These unconverted masses know nothing of genuine practical religion. They have not learned that its fruits are to be seen grow- ing upon the gaudy members of fashionable churches; they do not enjoy the sermons of the high-salaried, high-toned, highly-gen- tecl preache?s of fashionable pulpits; they are not aware that righteousness of life is the mark of those who make profession of Violated contracts, fiduciary” forgery, and perjnry make up the alarming | Jess How To Stor Covenmxe.—In a once delivered by the celebrated D1 Sequard, he gave the following dir which may prove serviceable to perac troubled with a nervous cough: ss “Coughing can be ed by preasi on the nerves of the lips in the nei hood of the nose. A pressure prevent a cough when it is inning, Sneezing may be stopped by tlie same mer chanisnf. Pressing, also, in the néighbor- hood of the ear may stop coughing. Pres- sing very hard on the top of the mouth inside 1s also a means of stopping cough- ing. AndI may say the will has im- mense power, too. There was.a French surgeon who used to say, whenever he en- tered the wards of the hospital, “The first patient who coughs I will deprive of food to-day.” It was exceeding rare that a patient coughed then. Tue Snow Prayer.—A little girl went out to play one day in the fresh, new snow, and, when she came in, she said: ‘Mamma, I couldu’t help praying when I was out at play.’ ‘What did you pray fox my dear,’ ask- ed her mother. , ‘I prayed the Snow Prayer, mamma,,. that I heard in the Sunday School.’ + “The Snow Prayer! what do you mean, little one ?” ; - ‘I mean that beautiful Snow Prayer, in the Bible, mamma, you know it: ‘Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.’ ~~ . HOW TO iNCReSes THE FLOW OF paper, writing from Arkansas, gives the following receipe to increase the flow of milk in a cow: Tepid water, slightly salted, given twico a day, will increase the flow of milk one- third. If the cow will not drink it at first trial, scatter a handful of bran or meal over the top of it. They soon become very fond of it, and will drink all you give them. I tried this plan three years ago with perfect success. I had only one cow, and she was the common scrub stock of the country, and after she began to drink the water, prepared as above, furnished me twice a day two ordinary buckets full of milk; and by feéding a little corn boiled with cotton seed, the milk yielded butter enough to supply my table bountifully and leave me a ad pounds to sell every week. I gave her three gallens of water twice a day. KISSING. There is a great deal inakiss. Adam’s first kiss of Eve must have been a queer sensation—like the feeling of a man who first ate an oyster. In ancient Rome, a kiss was a religious ceremony, The near- est friend of a dying person ‘received his soul” by a kiss, for the soul was supposed to leave the body through thelips. Pliny thinks the Roman wemen began to degen- erate when they kissed everybody mis- cellaneously. Among the early Christians a kiss was the “seal of prayer.”. It wasa sign of treachery in Judas, the betrayer,. | In our times a kiss means a good deal— from the kisses between two young ladies to the kisses recorded in the following stories. Here is number one: “A tender swain reproached his fair one with letting a rival kiss her hand—a fact which she indignantly denied. “Bat I saw it.” ‘Nay, then,” cried the offended fair one, “I am now convinced that you do not love me, since you believe your eyes in preference to my word,” : Number two js glao sharp and pithy: “A gentleman kissed a lady’s hand in a fit of gallantry, She deliberately drew her glove off and dropped it on the -floor. “Why do you do that?” he asked, “Oh,” she replied, I never wear soiled gloves!” “And I,” said he, picking it pp and put- ting it in the fire, “don’t like to see dirty things lying about.” oe Charlotte Obserrer, 29th: The body of Mr. Jacob Summner, who was drowned last Friday night in the river near Lin- noon at a point only a short dista religion, and they do not know that mod- sank.

We believe if the newspapers of the Country would cease taking notice of criminal cases, high and low ; and of civil suits also, for that matter—would iguore Courts, Judges, lawyers, executions and all—it would tend powerfully to ‘reduce érime. Courts, with all their concomitants ‘are a necessary evil, aud on the principle it is better ‘not to stir a stinck,” the less -we say about them the better, Many @ fool who could never haye seen his name in print for a worthy action has been proud and audacious through the no- teriety given him by the newspapers for his crimes. We have a notable case jn mind, of a fellow who took real pleasure in read- ing a recital of his deeds in the newspa- rs. It made him famous, and to his mind a bad fame was better than none. If all the foola were dead the avidity with which newspapers publish crime, dwellfng with artistic effect upon every little cir- eumstance connected with them, might be less hurtful, perhapa, but jn no state of human society known to us can the constant publication of such matter fail to damage the public morals, ee ag ee Patterson, by the grace of a radical U. 8.

The isaue of all bonds for the main line, including $5,- 000 per mile to be retained jn the United States treasury, is limited to a total of $35,300,000, The bill also provides for similar guarantee of interest on bonds ta the amount of $64,000,000, to be issued by the Memphis and International Rajlroad Compan Arkansas, the Lake City Rail ener of Texas, to secure the construction of a eoqnecting railroad from Jefferson, Texas, to Memphis, Ten- nessee.

WasHincTon, Dec. 10.—The question of our delicate relations with Mexico and the imminent danger of war between the two countries, came up to-day in the House in connection with the distribution of the President’s message to the various appropriation committees. In the resolu- tions reported for that purpose from the committee of Ways and Means, the com- mittee on Foreign Affairs had referred, among other subjects, to the troubles on the Rio Grand and the recognition of the Diaz government, Hewitt spoke at length, alluding to the evidence of Ord with em- phasis, and to the question offered an amendment looking in the interest of peace to an improvement of the commer- cial relations between the two countries, and on that text he made a speech iuti- mating his apprehensions that the adinin- istration might allow war to be drifted into, and that when Congress met after the holidays it would be called upon to sus- tain the administration in that war. He declared that the people of the United States did not desire war, but did earvest- ly desire peace and an opportunity to re- gain their former prosperity. Mr. Stepheus, of Georgia, took the same views of the importance and necessity of preserving peaceful relations with Mexico, but did not agree with Hewitt in suppos- ing that the administration favored war. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, intimated that the existence of the free zone of Mexico allowed smuggling on both sides of the line and was an obstacle to'friendly and commercial relations, while Mr. Mills, of Texas, declared it absurd te be singing pwans to peace in the halls of Congress, while the border counties of Texas were a prey to depredations by Mexican raiders.

Every ve gee pe surgeon knows that post mortem examinations of aged persons who have died in the ordinary course of nature have re- tedly disclosed the traces of pulmonary ulcers entirely cicatrized. The argument, therefore, against the possibi:'ty of healing a pulmonary abscess be- cause the immediate seat of the disease cannot be reached, has not a leg to Stand upon. Over fifty in- stances of the discovery of cicatrized ulcers in the lungs have been recorded by the medical faculty of Paris, and such eminent authorities as Revinus, ated ed Du Haen and scores of others, French, — and German, might easily be cited to prove their certain curability. To treat any malady rationally its character and morbid influence must be known. The dissecting knife has disclosed all the internal characteristics of consumption. We know that tubercles in the lungs vary in size from granules smaller than a pin’s head to that of a bean. These develope into open ulcers technically known as vomical which after- wards spread over a surface several inches in diam- eter. Their sacs are filled with a yellow, nish, oe matter generally very offensive. 6 mem- rane itselt is greatly inflamed, and the ends of the pulmonary artery and vein connecting with the dis- eased parts are clogged with vitiated and purulent mucus. Death must ensue either from suffocation or hemorrhage if speedy relief is not obtained. It is obvious that something is reyuired whieh will ena- ble the sufferer to raise and eject the poison rank- ling in his lungs, and choking the air passages, and which will also allay the grievous irritation of the inflamed parts. No preparation known to materia medica accomplishes this double objectso effectually and speedily as HOLLOWaAY’s CoUGH CURE AND LUNG Balsam. That incomparable remedy loosens and liquifies the poisonous and foetid accumulations in the lungs and bronchiz, subdues with wonderful rapidity the inftamation of the diseased parts, and prevents the possibility of hemmorrhage. At the same time it tones and strengthens the muscles of the throat and enables them to throw of the vitiated matter without straining. The transcendent merit of LloLLoway’s CoUGH CURE AND LUNG Basa is the thoroughness with which it does its work, Its im- mense superiority to the muititudes of oflicinal and proprietary medicines, designed for a similar pur- pose, which have preceeded it, liesin the fact that it is an ABSOLUTE ERADICANT of pulmonary and throat diseases. while they at the best were merely alliations. It is not alone that the preparation dis- odges the pulmonic virus, it possesses balsamic pro- arties uliarly adapted to soothe the lacerated ung, while by its tonic opperations It greatly factli- —— and hastens the healing process. As a pre- ventive Ho *s COUGH CURE AN buxa ALSAM is equally thease ix? Lohse Ake ally Heat hacking coughs which are so common, are terribly fruitful sources of consumption. The sufferer at first has a feeling of rawness in the throat, tightness across the chest, then dangerous inflamation sets in, which may give rise to hemmorrhage or the form- ation of vomical, if it is not speedily checked and cough loosened. HOLLOWAY’S CouGH CURE AND [ UNG BALsaM accomplishes this with a degree of prompti- tude and certainty which astonishes the patient. No type of throat, lung or bronchial disturbance can resist its curative influence. It overcomes the most obstinate forms of this class of disorders, and breaks up at once the most violent paroxysms of coughing. All its iugredients are purely vegetable. Some of them are culled from sources entirely new to phar- macy, and all are possessed of properties of marvel- ous remedial efficacy. The unsolicited testimonials which its proprietors have been receiving since its introduction to the public, from persons who have experienced or witnessed its wonderful beneficial effects, fully justify the belief that it must, ere long, become the STANDARD AMERICAN SPECIFIC AND ALL DISEASES OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS, IMPORTANT CAUTION.

C.,'on the 24 of September, 1802, and was to Phi White, (born in Whitestown, N. Y.) the of May, 1522, he being then editor of Western Carolinian, at . Her was one of the namervus families of Hamptons in both Carolinas, and her mother was a daugh- ter of Colonel James commander uf the First Kegiment of the North Carolina Lire of Continental Regulars, who sided in success fully fighting the battles of liberty all through our nation’s heroic struggle fur edependinen, in 1776. With this lineage of Scotch-Irish Presbyterian blood she was vurtured and edu- cated in the rigid religious morality character- istic of that persuasion of Christians; conse- quently, during the whole course of ber mature life, a never-fsiling devotion to the atrictest re- ligious observances marked her daily walk. On ber removal with her husband to the State ef Wisconsin, where he attained many prominent positions, legislative aud otherwise, they both attached themselves to the Protest- aut Episcopal Church there, ber husband bav- ing been, as a lay delegate in the primary con- ventions, an active Jay asitant and patron, along with the eminent Missiorary, Bishop Kemper, in ing the Church and Diocese of Wisconsin. having been confirmed by Bishop Kemper, as members of that Church, they both contributed their time and their humble means in building up the Church in that new State. On thus changing (in 1845) their religious associations, Mrs. White expe- cailly engaged with renewed zeal in the exten- sion of Christ's Kingdom, employing nearly all her working hours in laboriu he the benefit of the then new Church of St. Luke’s in Racine, where she and her husband donated a rectory (or parsonage) to the parish, while he was one of the earliest and liberal founders and patrons of Racine College in that town, Mr. White having been deputed as a Diplo- matic Agent of the Government abroad,—first, as Consul General to the Free Hauseatic Cities of Hamburg, Lubec and Altona, Mra. White, in the midst of a world of fashionable gaicties that surrounded her, never swerved from the rigid religious morality in which she was rear- ed and educated, persistently declining to dese- crate the Sabbath by mingling in diplomatic festivities on that holy day, which the world thought that official position might persuade her to attend. Subsequently, Mr. White having been com- missioned as United States Minister Resident at Quito, in the Republic of Ecuador, Mra. White accompanied her husband thither in 1853. More important functions, and broader and more delicate responsibilities devolved up- on him and his family in that position than they had hitherto been accustomed to—demand- rp e e e aa arn finn aie and — te others. 3 pn _ _ 3. The salient point of his subsequent career waa in his kiuuet the ae Episcopacy. It placed him in a position which gave scope and stimulus to his abilitics and his zeal. His latent ener- gies seemed, as it were, to await the op- portunity, for which he was designed. It was the summit Jevel from which the eagle made his gaze and took his flight, after trying his pipions, for awhile, finally made the cireuit of the world. 4. His intellectual capacity was. pro- jected on a scale of commanding compass. It possessed unusual breadth and penetra- tion. It could grapple with the great qnes- tions of theology and philosophy, and was fond of metaphysical speeulations, in which he occassionally indulged. He could have distinguished “himself - the field of avalytic enquiry, had hé devoted himself to its abstractions. Bat he was too practical to follow its fascinations. 5. Asa preacher, he took rank in the highest grade amongst ua, by the gener- alization of the doctrinal positions, the fertility and originality of bis conceptions, and the copiousness aud wealth of his diction. To this, were ddded the depth and soundness of his religious views, and the unction and the pathos aud transport of mauy of his discourses. Like all preach- ers, he was sometimes unequal, and did himself injustice, if 1 may say so, by un- remitting toil. He was indefatigable as a preacher. He coveted the pleasure, and seemed never to lose an oppertunity to proclaim, the gospel. I am persuaded that he often transcended the limits of human prudence, in this respect, eonsider- ing his value to the cause of God. The zeal of the Lord’s house literally consumed him. Iam sure he never regretted it. We are the mourners ; not he. 6. He displayed all the requisite traits of an effective Bishop. He was wise and prompt and clear in his administration, affectionate aud firm ip his decisions and self sacrificing in his labors. He counted “= ing, in accordance with diplomatic courtesy, a yielding of home- prepossessions to the require- | ments of international usuages, &c. But Mra.

Owing to very imperfect notice he failed in obtaining an audience. however, explain to a few persons present, the nature of his discovery, for which he has obtained a patent.

He now has things in ship shape and will, we doubt not, in a short time have a boat plying between this place and points along the river as high up as Huntsville, ip Yadkin county. This will prove a most convenient and serviceable thing for the people along the river as a cheap and quick way of transporting grain, &e., to mill and to market. Congress has been petitioned for an appropriation to aid in this work. Said appropriation to be used in connection with the private subserip- tions Mr. B. has been getting up. Mr. Rob- bins has, we notice, introduced a bill, ask- ing fora survey of the river, which has been turned over to the committe on commerce. We sincerely hope and believe, that the committee will report favorably. In the session of 74-75, our State Legislature granted to certain parties a charter to run pole or steam boats from this point to Wilkesboro, which charter has veen turn- ed ever te Mr. Brown and his associates, for a term of years. Mr. Brown is a go-ahead, de-what-he- says man, and is endowed with an unusual amount of energy, the one thing requisite to make this scheme a success. The waters of this stream should have been utilized years ago, but have not been. We are happy to say that the way is fast opening and ere long we will hear the steam whistle echoing along the fertile banks of this beautiful stream. —_o——_ — One of the most ingenious inventions of the day is Mason’s Music Charts, by the use of which any one, even a child, can learn to play on piano or organ, in tolera- ble style, in one day, and no previous knowledge of music is necessary.

Com, _- REMARKS OF Bisiiop Dogcett oN THE PUBLIC CHARACTER OF Bisuor MARVIN, ON OCCASSION OF HI8 FUNERAL, BEFORE THE N. C. CONFERENCE. I do not propose to give a biographical sketch of the life of my distinguished col- league. That duty will be fully perform- ed on another and a more fitting occasion. All that is necessary or appropriate, at present, is a reasonable recognition of his worth and a wise improvement of the sad event which gives character to these cx- ercises. It is eminently proper that an annual Conference, receiving the solemn informataion, during its session, should, in some way, commemorate, however in- adequately, the character of a general superintendent of the church, and espe- cially of one who has rendered himself illustrious in its service. Such a tribute, is due to exalted merit, on the one hand, and to the high relation which he sus- tained to a large and proaperous denomi- nation of christians on the other. Above all, it is due to that grace which bestow- ed so rich a gift upon his church: In hon- oring his memory, we glorify God. In appreciating his virtues, we improve our cause. 1. Bishop Marvin was comparatively unknown to Southern Methodism until his election tothe Episcopacy in the year 1366. He was however well known to Methodism in Missouri and in Texas, and stood pre-eminent, in that sphere, asa man of original power and dauntless zeal, asapreacher, It was that knowledge which induced the Trans- Mississippi dele- gations iu the General Conference, though not a member of it, to present his claims as their first Bishop. The result has fally justified the wisdom of their selection and the action of the General Conference. 2. He was one of those remarkable in- stances which have signalized and adorn- ed the itenerant system. Raised in hu- man life, on the then frontier of Western ing care, he burst forth as a star of the | Mother Conference of us all, and repre- The funeral exercises were held on Sunday, | not his life dear uuto himself. He was a bright example of activity and fidelity to |the preachers over whom he presided; beloved, and admired by the whole connectiou as one of its chief pas- honored, tors. 7. The most conspicuons of all his ef- forts were his mission to China and his tour around the world. The Geueral Conference in Louisville required one of the Bishops to visit that distant region in order to organize the work and ordain the native preachers und give assurance of our interest in the prosperity of the Mis- The lot fell on Bishop Marvin, by election of his colleagues. He fultilled his errand completely, give a new impulse to the enterprise at home and abroad, and had the honor of being the first Bishop of the M. E. Church, South, in a foreign land. Next in importance to these events, was his visit to the British Conference in Bristol, where he was received by the sion. sented the M. E. Church, South, aecurate- ly and eloquently in the Metropolis of Methodism in the world. This official recognition was the link that completed the brilliant cirele of Methodistic success and Methodistic unity; and in that posi- tion his name will ever stand. 8. He wasa prolific and iustractive writ- His pen was scarcely less ready than his tongue. He wrote spontaneously, and not by constraint, and with a freedom and vivacity that charmed bis readers. He was the author of several volumes, was | selected by the family of Bishop Andrew er. | to write his life—a work which, I pre- sume he did not live to accomplish. The most memorable productions of his pen were his letters from the East, in which he displayed an extraordinary maturity in epistolary literature. He imparted valuable infomation to the Charch, and stirred ita very depths ou the subject of foreign Missions. Had he done nothing else, this would have been an achieve- mept worthy of his fame. ‘The effect will long survive him, in enlarging the views and awakening the enthusiasm of the Chureh on the wide theatre of the world’s salvation. They were almost uniyersally read with delight. Their publication, in a volume, was demanded, and he was concluding the pages when his useful pen dropped forever from a hand smitten with the stroke of death. That volume will remain as # consecrated memorial of his life’s last labors in the cause of Christ. 9. After the vicissitudes and perils of a journey of 25000 miles, accomplished in 10 mouths, and with the honors of a ful- filled commission, he returned to his na- repeats its melancholy echoes amongst the churches. 10. According to human estimate, his death is an incalculable loss to Southern Methodism. Let us not so interpret it. “Yet my heart repeats not sadly, Wheat, Corn, and country produce generally.

In our style of climate, with its sudden changes of temperature,—rain, wind and sun- shine ofien intermingled in a single day,—it is no wonder that our children, friends and rela- tives are so frequently taken from us by neg- lected colds, half the deaths resulting directly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee’s German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will prevent serious sickness, a large doctor bill and perhaps death, by the nse of three or four doses. For curing Consumption, Hemor- rhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your druggist wil! tell you. German Syrup is now sold in every town and village on this continent. Sample bottles for trial, 10c.; regular size, 75c. ~__-—— Now and Then. It ia only now and then that such men as Hon, Alex. H.

THE reason.why only one sample bottle of MERREL’s HEPATINE for the Liver will be cold to the same person, for ten cents, by our Drug- gist, Theo. F. Kluttz is because of the enormous expense of importing the Hepatine into this country ; but as there are fifty doses in the large size bottles, it seems two cents per dose is cheap enough afterall for a medicine that cures dys- peysia and liver complaint.

Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your jove and tendernegs sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words, while their ears hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled by them. The things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they ga, The flowers you mean to seng for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their home be- fore they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes lajdl away, full of per- fumes of sympathy and affection, which they intend te break oyer my dead hody, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary hours, and apen them while I need them. I would rather have a coffin without an oulogy, than a life without the sweetness of love and sympathy. Let us learn to anoint our friends beforghand for their burial. Post-mortem kindnesses do not cheer the burdened spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance back- ward over the weary days.—N. ¥, Evan- gelist, ———- me 4 | A CALL TO SING SING. The Paster of an Illinois Church Convict- ed ag a Thiefr (From the New York Sun.) The Rev. Alfred Thompson, pastor of the Primitive Methodist chyrch, in Elgin, Illinois, was proved a thief in the general sessions Thursday, and sentenced ta fiye years in Sing Sing. He is 4 yaung man, with a smooth face, not indicative of great mental power. His manner and dress were jn keeping with hig profession, and he exhibited plenty of audacity. The complainant, Mrs, Ellen Cobham, wife af ® Presbyterian missiqnary in the West Indies, is a young, intelljgent, educated woman, and her demeanor on the stand was ladylike. She had come to this coun- try to visit a brother, and had become ac- quainted with Thompson on her voyage here. His clerical character commended _ her confjdence, and she aceepted his guid- ance and protection. They put up at the same hotel in New York, and were to start for the west together on Monday, but on that day the Rev, Alfred Thompson slip- ped away. Mrs. CobRam missed her mo- ney and jewelry. She promptly reperted her less to the police; detectives caught ‘Thompson in 2 broker’s office, where he was exchanging Mrs, Cobham’s gold goy- ereigns for United States currency, The clergymgn went on the stand to testify in his ewn behalf. He made no pretence of apotiessness of character, and was defiant in his manner; but denied that he was a thief. He testified that he obtained a leave of absence from the congregatiqn last spring to go to England, He left his wife and children ia Elgin and made the voyage alone. On the trip back he fell in with Mrs. Cobham. She propoged that they should not retyrn te their fymilies, bat should live together as hugbaud and wife. They went to the West Side Hote] as a preliminary, and she gave her money and jewelry to him. He decided to go home, however, and slipped away quietly so as to eseaye a parting scene. He took her property because she had made him a t of it. She was foremost in the love-making, according to the prisoner, who coolly remarked, “She is the most Joviug woman I ever saw.” “Do you mean to gay that your rela- tions with her were improper ?” Recorder Jlackett inquired, oo. out cessation, has been dismembering it- self and literally falling, night and day, into the valley below, filled it up with piled up blocks of stone, extinguishing all sounds by its incessant thunder, and covering the distant horizon with a thick cloud of yellowish dust, The entire mass comprised jn the slope forms a mutilated cone 200 meters broad at the top and 600 at the base (the slope being about fifty degrees ;) this is composed of hard schist lying close together, but no longer united ; and it is united to the body of the mau: tain only by a vertical mass of forty or fifty thick, which already is fissured and shaken. Periods of repose oceur, lasting only a few seconds or 4 minute at most ; then the movement recommences, and continues about five hours. Blocks of of forty cubic meters become displaced with no apparent cause, traverse the 1,- 800 meters of descent in thirty seconds, leaping fonr or five hundred meters at a time, and finally get dashed to pieces in the bed of the torrent, or launch their shattered fragments into the opposite forest, mowing down gigantic pines as if they were so many thistles. One such block was seen to strike a fine fir tree be- fore reaching the bridge between the vil- lages; the tree was not simply broken or overthrown, but was crushed to dust, (volatilized), trunk and branches disap- pearing in the air like a burning match. Rocks are hurled together and broken in- to fragments that are thrown across the valley Jike swallows in a whirlwind ; then follow showers ef smaller fragments, and one hears the whistling sound of thou- sands of pebbles as they pass. M. Berard reached the edge of the rock (2,460 meters high), on one ef the sides of the falling gone, and ventured along it, ebtaining a good view of the ‘terrifying’. spectacle. He reaffirms his convictjoy that the phe- nomenon is inexplicable hy afly of the usual reasons that agequot for Alpipe dis- turbances, such as penetratién of water, or melting snow, or inferior strata jn mo- tion ; ner does the declivity of the slope explain it. His hypothesis is that some geological force is at work, of which the complex resultant acts obliquely to the axis of the mountajn and almost parallel to its. sides, - THE RESPONSE.

IX.—THIRD SERIES" the Nashville Christian Advocate. (Fro LETTER FROM BISHOP MARVIN, — between the part which was for use and that which was for show ! Our guide took us to the “house of Ananias,” but we did not go in, The Christians, searcely less ignorant than the Mohammendans, seem to have no question this modern dwelling is the very one in which the good Ananias lived. They will show you also the window—the very same window---from which St. Paal was letdown ina basket. We saw, in fact,a number of windows from which a man might be very well lowered over the wall, and so make his escape from the city. There are many houses which have the city wall for their back wall, with bay NO, XXXII, —_—_— pAMASCUS AND THE BARADA, As we approached the city, that most re- markable oasis in which it stands came jnto full view: It is about eighteen miles square, and I presume there is no greener spot on the face of the earth. Trees and ens cover it with a verdure that is jndescribable. We saw it in the early > spring, when it was at its freshest and best. eus, bat on coming in sight of it ap here on the mountain, he exclaimed that as no man could have but one paradise he would not forfeit that in the futare by entering this, So he never set foot in the city. Once he had got well inside be would have dismissed all apprehensions of that sort. We descended the mountain on the western side, and in two or three miles came to the diligenee road to Beyroot, which followed the course of the Barada for some miles. We were to make camp to night at Suk Wady Barada, so that our course in the main would be along the river, though at one point our dragoman insisted on leaving it for a better road. The city stands at the foot of the moun- tain, just where the river Barada—the Abana of the Scriptures—enters the plain. This is a small stream, but rushing down from the mountain as it does, with great rapidity, it delivers a large amount of) water. So soon as it emergies from the mountain it is tapped by canals, which windows projecting over the wall of the\ This we regretted, when we learned that city, that of the house rising astory above, | by taking this course we niissed seeing Nothing would be more inevitable than the great fountain in which the principal that 9 mau ronda wold ot hie owe pot wf the waters of the lower Barada ftom such a window, if he were in danger | come out of the mountain iu a bedy. and desired to escape.

No city could be better su water. The canals, sometimes open, sometimes runniog under archways be- neath streets and houses, traverse it in every part. In walking through the city one isoften taken by surprise, coming upon a spot where the water rushes from under a wall: and at every turn you will find foun- tains in the bazaar, in the market, and in niclies in the walls of the houses. One set of canals furnishes pure water for use, while another serves for drainage. All the field and gardens in this oasis are protected by concrete fences such as I have seen in South-western Texas, and made in the same way. earth are thrown together into a frame on the spot where the wall is to be made, and beaten down solid with a mall. every few spadefuls being thrown in it is beaten down; thus it becomes extremely The frame is then removed, leav- The gravel and Upon hard. ingthe wall naked. These fences, or | more properly walls, are two feet, or more, in thickness, and five or six feet high, so that in many cases the traveler on horse- back can scarcely see the ground inside. They mar the general beauty of the place very greatly, being very clumsy, and ob- structing the view so largely. The population of Damascus is consider- ably over 100,000, but its buildings and bazaars are not what one expects. There is very little good firchitecture here. The houges are low, and nearly all rath- ershabby. The bazaar contrasts strong- ly with that of Cairo. The one very cele- brated mosque is in a poor style of art. The “street that is called Straight” is something ridiculed by superficial tourists. It is not, iu fact, perfectly straight, but is the only street in the city which holds a persistently straight course through from one side to the other—a general course which is very direct, and which the short: offsets here and there do not interfere with. Itiseminently the straight street of Damascus. In any city having such a system of streets—or, rather, such a no system—with one thoroughfare from side |, to side, bent a little here and there, but keeping a direct course throughout, this very name would be most naturally given to it. All the prophets and patriarchs are honored by the Mussulmans. You will findin Damascus the Mosque of the ‘‘Proph- et Solomon.” In fact, you have to come to this country to learn that Abel and _ Seth, and almost every man whose name appears in the Old Testament, were prophets. I am told that the average Arab Mussulman thinks that Abraham, Moses, Christ, and Mohammed, all lived at the same time, all being inspired prophe's, the greatest of whem was Mohammed. The dense ignorance, even of men who seem to be intelligent in many respects, in regard to religion is beyond belief. There is a Christian and a Jewish quar- tet of the city. The Christian population is much larger tlian I supposed, some of the leading business men are of this faith. We had been told that it would be worth while to see the inside of one or two dwell- ings of wealthy Mohammedan merchants, and that there would be no objection on the part of the proprietors. Our guide, however, assured us that it was impracti- cable, but that we could get admission to the private residences of Christians. Moreover, he assured us that the most slegant residences ef the city were the Property of Christians. But it must be understood that the number of really e!e- gant houses here is very limited. The one we visited did not impress us favora- bly on the gutside, though we were in- formed it was the best inthecity. Inside we found things wearing an aspect of Oriental magniticence that exceeded our expectation. We were very politely re- ceived by a woman of thirty five or forty, who was no doubt the housekeeper. She had an air of good sense, and a propriety of deportment that impressed us very favorably. The master of the house was Beyroot, with his family. We were shown Seats in a very magnificent drawing room, paved with marble elegantly laid in mosa- 1¢, and invited to take coffee, which, for Want of time we declined. The house was of two stories, and the Upper apartments were not at all in keep- ng with the magnificence of; those below. oo were small, and the plain pine hot even painted.

It was not a market dhy, but we saw two of the women that wire there on sale. ‘They were bad stock, one of them being lunatio, and the other aflect- ing lunacy with so much skill as to keep purchasers off. I was glad to see, that though they were only an expense to their owners, they were evidently treated with humanity. There is a large school here, founded and maintained by some Englisb ladies. It seems to be doing a good work. The American Presbyterians have a branch of their Syrian Mission here. So far as we had time to inquire, the work seems to be faithfully done, and as good a yield of fruit appears as could be expected from the agencies employed. Butit is only a drop in the bucket. Yet the leaven will doubtless spread. Before leaving our camp here we rode out to see ene of the places where Saul was struck down by the manifestation of the Son of God. This locality is now just | outside the eastern gate, near the Chris- tian burial ground. Formerly, I under- stand, it was at a more distant point, and in a different direction. It seems to be shifted about the suit the ‘convenience of these who make tradition a trade, with very little concern about the probable di- rection in which Saul approached the city. If this is the place, then he came by a very roundabout way.—One is perpetually disgusted by the absence of all reason and probability in these traditions. Having spent Monday in seeing the city, we broke up camp on Tuesday morn- ing, and started for Baalbec.—Bat before ‘taking a final leave of what is believed by many to be the oldest city in the world, we must ascend the mountain and see it from a commanding point.

In the p referred to Mr. Straw is: ’ having stated, among other the cotton factories of the nevér hope to suecessfully eratives, to work ten and eleven hours a day, and because “manufacturing could never hope to prosper in a locality in which men and women can earn as much by working the soil as in the mill.” In proof of these and similar assertions, he stated that the mills of Georgia were not as a rule, successfal, that only those which could supply a local demand were profi- table, and that many of the most exten- sive enterprises had resulted in such losses that the men who had undertaken them were not able to pay for their machinery. As might have been expected, these as- sertious have excited. the people of the South to a degree which is altogether out of proportion to the demands of the occas- sion. It cannot be denied, however, that Mr. Straw has made one or two grave blunders in regurd to the conditions under which cotton can be and is manufactured in the Southern States. For instance, his statement to the effect that none but ne- groes can endure the work in the mills of the section named is entirely a mistake. In Columbus, Augusta, Graniteville, and several other places of minor importance, twenty of whom are natives of the South, work fer ten and eleven hours a day from one year’s end to the other. They are contented, well satisfied with the com- pensation they received aud never even talked of a strike. Further than this, it must be admitted that the South has many natural advan- tages for cotton manufacturing which are Georgia and the other Southern States have an unfailing supply of water. The streams that run their spindles are never frozen, and up to this time they have never been seriously affected by the droughts of Summer. ‘The climate is particularly adapted for the first manipu- lation of the delicate raw material. In the North the air is frequently so dry that steam has to be introduced into the weav- ing-rooms to keep the threads moist and prevent them from breaking. Such an expedient is never neeessary in the South; even in Midsummer, the atmospher is always sufficiently humid to allow low the spinning and weaving process to goon without interraption. Further than this, the Southern mills require less gas and less fuel than their Northern rivals, and the original cost of their coustraction l § | derive still greater advantages, however, from the fact that they can buy the raw ’ every bale of raw material.

Young, of Columbus, Ga., whe is one of the best known and most reliable man- ufacturers in the South, estimates that eu this one item alone the Georgia mill proprietors, as compared with those of New-England, save six to eight dollars on and many other advantages to the South, however, we can still find ne sufficient proof of the statement made in certain quarters that the Southern States will, in the not far- distant future, control the greater part of the trade now held by the manufacturers It cannot be denied ‘that the cotton mills of the South have rapidly increased during the past eight or ten years, or that in the majority of cases they have, even in dull times, made large There is every reason to believe that under intelligent and enterprising management this prosperity will not only Indeed, it is now certain, according to reliable statements recently published, that the Southern mills will be donbled in number and capacity But all this does not argue that the New-England factories must close their doors and go out of business. They still have, and over their rivals the advantage of abundant capital, the latest improvements in machinery, skill, ed labor that cannot be excelled in the world, and a situation which makes ly with all the markets of this country The mills of the South have increased and are increasing in number, the same statersent is also true of the North.

DANIEL WEBSTER’S OUTSET IN LIFE, [From Harvey's Webster Reminiscences.] * © * He was stadying law in Boston in the office of Christopher Gore, after- ward Governor of Massachusetts, At that time his father was very poor, and it was with great difficulty that either father or son could make both ends meet, Very op- portunely, as the elder Webster thought, the clerkship of the Merrimac county (N. H.) court became vacant. This office was in the appointment of the Judges, with whom Capt. Webster happened to be on influential terms, and was worth $2,000 a year. He applied for itin behalf of his son Daniel, and his application was suc- cessful. Capt. Webster, with visions of domestic comfort rising before him, joy- fully sent news of his success to Damiel. The young lawyer student was also, at first, rejoiced. He went to Mr. Gore to communicate his good fortune. To his surprise, that eminent lawyer at once ad- vised him to decline the office. “Ihavea notion,” said Mr. Gore, “that your mis- sion is to make opinions for other men to record, and not to be a clerk to record the | opinions of courts.” Finally Daniel was persuaded to promise that he would refuse the clerkship. The next thing was to break this decision to his poor old father. “The next day,” relates Webster, ‘I started—it being a cold winter’s day—to visit my father and break to him my de- cision. That was the hardest of all; but my mind was made up, and Mr. Gore had inspired me with a good deal of confidence in myself. He made me feel there was something in me, and I started for New Hampshire with that feeling. 1 reached Concord in the afternoon of the third day, and there hired a man to carry me four- teen miles in a pung to my father’s, where I arrived in the early evening. As I approached the door, jumped out of the sleigh, and mounted the stoop or portico, I looked through the window. I saw a blazing fire, and a nice, clean, paint- ed hearth; and there was my father, a venerable man, seated in his chair, with his white locks streaming down, looking into the fire. I stood and watched him with filial reverence. I thought to my- self how happy he is now, contemplating all the good that is to come ; and Iam go- ing in to mar and dash it all away! I went in. He never greeted me more warmly. ‘How glad I am to see you!’ he exclamed as he kissed me. My mother came in, and it was a jubi- lee for five minutes. At last supper was brought in, and I wasmaking up my mind how to break this thing te-my father. I almost regreted the rash promise I had made to Mr. Gore. I wished a hundred times that I could retract it. Then, again, there was something that prompted me to think that I could do better than to re- cord other men’s opinions. My father broached the subject by say- ing, ‘I think yeu had better ride over to Judge Smith’s in the morning, and be qualified at once.’ I shall write to Judge Smith and Judge Farrell to-morrow, I replied, thank them for their favor as warmly as I know how, and for their kindness and friendship for you which has procared me this appoint- ment.

He says that the children have always had their meals regularly, although some times as late as ten o’clock in the morning ve meané had been supplied for dinner. In such a case, he tella us “Then we had a prayer meeting, and God helped us before it was necessary to provide for dinner. Some- times it so happeved that now we had the means for dinner, but we had not the means for supper. Then we had another prayer meeting together, that God would graciously be pleased to appear on our be- half and to help us; and sa he did,” These remarkable statements, together with others just as extraordinary, are not from hearsay, but may be found on page 23 of his recently published addresses, But he puts a wet blanket on the ambi- tion of people who might desire to do, their housekeeping in this apparently eco- nomical manner, by telling them that oth- er Christians must not imitate him in this respect, and the that only way he succeeds in it is to lay his wants before the Lord in the most implicit confidence that they will be relieved.

Since such was the fact, we, who are mutual friends of both Senators, are of the opinion that it is due alike to the Senate and to the speakers, that whatever was felt to be unkind or offen- sive iu the remarks of either should be treated as if never uttered, and; we are now authorized to state are mytually and simultaneously withdrawn.

It was read in the Senate in the presence of all the witnesses to the transaction, aud met so completely the approbation of all the Senators that it was ordered unanimously to be entered on the records of the Senate. This is tho first entry of the kind since a like action was taken in respect to the celebrated affair between Senators Poin- dexter and Forsythe which was arranged in the same way through the good offices of Henry Clay, over forty years ago. Senators Conkling and Gordon, ever since the difficulty ocenrred, have declined to eqnyerse on thé subject. No commnanica- tiqn, gither verbally or in writing, passed between the parties, certain Senators having, immediately .fter the event, com- menced the business of adjustment. Among them pyominently Senators Ham- lin and Ransom were especially judicious and effective in arranging the matter sat- isfactorily to both sides, Senators Gor- don aud Conkling were nat in the Senate chamber when the settlemeit was report- ed.

Lonpon, December 15. —The Post, in ita leading editorial this morning, says it is understood that the Biitish Cabinet yesterday had before them acircular from the Porte intimating ita williugness to accept the mediation of Europe. The Porte asserted that the guarantees for good government furnished by the con- stitution are far more advantageous than the establishment of autonomous states, which can only lead to the disintegration of the empire. The Post, however, con- siders thut there are no present prospects of an aceeptance of the mediation, as Germany is hostile thereto, and any offer on the part of England is not likely to be well received by Russia, A Constantinople dispatch to the Daily Telegraph says the cireular note dispatch- ed by the Porte to the signatories of the treaty of 1871, commences by the state- ment that the origin of the present impor- tant events is perfectly known. ‘The Im- perial Government is Conscious of having done nothing to provoke war, has done everything to avoid it, and vainly sought to discover Russia’s motives in her ag- gressive campaign. ‘The Porte has shown a desire for an improvement by reorgan- izing the judicial system and devising re- forms without distinction of race or reli- gion, according to the constitution, which has everywhere been well received. A partial reform is of no avail. The adop- tion of improvements in one part of the empire only would be a premium to otber communities to revolt. Avy doubt as to} the execution of these reforms should dis- appear before the solemn declarations the Porte now makes. The state of the war simply retards sueh reforms and is disas- the agricultural intevests, killing indus- try aud ruining financial reorganizations. Independent of these arrangements for reform, what reason ean there be for con- tinuing the war Russia has declared she is not animated by a spirit of conquest. The military honor of both sides must be abundantly satisfied. What object can there be in prolonging a contest ruinous to both countries? The moment has ar- rived for the belliggereut powers to accept peace without affecting their dignity. Europe might now usefully interpose her good offices since the Porte is ready to come to terms, The country is not at the end of its resources and is still prepared to fight in its own defence, It ia ready, moreover, to sacrifice all for the inde- pendence and integrity of the fatherland, but the Porte is desirous to step the fur- ther effusion of blood, and therefore ap- | peals to the feelings of justice which must | animate the great powers, hoping they will receive these overtures faverably. The Plevna correspondent of the Times telegraphs that he believea the Russians will not advance immediately but will await the effects of the tall of that place, The heavy guns whieh were already on the Sotia roud, between Plevna and the river Vid, have been a waste of labor if a speedy advance on the Balkans waa in- tended. The Times’ correapondent with the Grand Dake Valdimir shows that the Ntelchika affair was confined to skirmish- es and cavalry, with some field artillery, practice. He thinks the Turks may have lost a thousand men altogether, but the Russian loss was insignificant. The Turks were driven across the river Lom. Thejr entrench meuts on the west bank are now in the possession of the Russians. Bucuarest, Dec. 15.- Osman Pasha hag sent a short telegram to the Porte statiug that he had not received reinforce- ments sor provisions, but nevertheless re- sisted as long as porsible.

Extracts from Various Letters, “T had no appetite; Holloway’s Pills gave me a hearty one.” “Your Pills are marvellous.” . “I send for another box, and keep them in the ouse.” “Dr. Holloway has cured my headache which was chronic.” “I gave one of your Pills to my babe for cholera morbus. The dear little thing got well in a day.” “My nausea of a morying js now cured.” “Your hox of Holloway’s Ointment cured me of noises in the head. I rubbed some of your Ointment behind tie ears, and the noise has left.” “Send ine two boxes, I want. one for a poor family.” “I enclose a dollar, your price is 25 cents, but phe medicine to me is worth a dollar.” “Send me five boxes of your Pills.” “Let me have three boxes of your Pills by return mail, for Chills and Fevers.” I HAVE OVER 200 SUCH TESTIMONIALS AS THESE, but want of space compels mé to conclude, FOR CUTANEOUS DISORDERS, And all eruptions of the skin, this Ointment is most invaluable, It does not heal externally alone, but penetrates with the most searching effects to the very root of the evil. HOLLOWAY’S PILLS Invariably cures the following diseases: Disorders of the Kidneys. In all diseases affecting these organs, whether they secrete too much or too Httle water; or whether they be aMlicted with stone or gravel, or with aches and pains settled iu the loins over the regions of the kid- neys, these Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, and the Ojntment should be well rubbed into the small of the back at bed time. This treaunent will give alimost immediate relief when ali otLer means have falied. For Stomazhs out of Order, No incdjicine will so effectually imprave the tone of the sto:nach as these pilis; they remove all acidi- ty occasioned either by jntemperance or improper diet. They reach the liver and reduce it to a héal- Uby action; they are wonderfully efficacious in cases of spasin —in fact they never fail in curing all disor- ders of the liver and stomach. Holoway’s Piils are the best remedy known in the world Jor the foiowing diseases: Weakness from any cause, &c, IMPORTANT CAUTION. None are genuine unless the signature of J. Hay- DOCK, as agent for the Lnited States, surrounds each box of Pills and Ointinent. A handsome reward will be given to any one rendering such information as may lead to the detection of any party or parties counterfeiting the medicines or ycnding the same, knowing them to be spurious. * *Sold at the Manufactory ot Professor HOLLOWAY & Co., New York, and by all respectable Druggtsis |}and Dealers in Medicine throughout the civilized world, in boxes at 25 cents, 62 cents, and $1 each. # ‘There is cousiderabie saving by taking the larger sizes.

In this city, Dec. 14th, Miss Bettie Morpny, eldest daughter of Mr. Andrew J. Marphy, in the 20th year of her life. Death has invaded this family three times within the past 12 months: First, the wife and mother was taken; then the eldest son, and now the eldest daughter. It is seldom any family experiences such waves of sorrow within one year. Miss Bettie’s remains were followed to the grave on Sunday last by hundreds of sy mpathis- ing friends. 0 Mr. John F. Wilson, of this place lost his left forefinger Saturday evening last while out hunting. He was sitting on a rail fence or was erossing one, the butt of lis gan on the ground and his left hand om the muzzel. In attempting to lift the gun, the ceck struck a rail and exploded one barre! of the piece, the charge passing through the upper part of thé palm, carrying away the bones, ten- dons and museles of the forefinger. This involved the total loss of that membe1, so that when Drs. Whitehead and Trantham eame with their surgical relief they decid ed at once to take away the finger, together with all the shattered benes, and close up the vaeancy as neatly as possible. At the present writing the patient is doing well. Oo-——— INFORMATION WANTED, of an itinerant Methodist preacher, whose name was Isaac Robinson.

It is farther sypposed that the family intermarriad with another by the name of Caten at or near the Forks of the Yad- kin.

It was their destiny to have resided many years in foreign countries, and for lengthened periods in each of three of these United States: And it must be con- solatory to the bereaved husband, in his anguish for the loss of his most cherished | treasure on earth, as well as of heart-felt satisfaction to her numerous surviving relatives and attached friends here and elsewhere, to know that the deceased lady was esteemed, and loved, and honored, iu each and all the communities where she bad resided and was best known, During fourteen years, at the meridian of their lives, and in the primeval days of that State, Mr. and Mrs. White’s home was in Wisconsin, where they were active par- ticipants in the responsible work of aid- ing to mould the political, social, literary and religious institutions of that then new and rapidly rising State sovereignty. And that it may be seen how well the late Mrs. White acquitted herself of her obli- gations to that community, to its social institations and its religious organiza- tions, we extract the following obituary notice from a Racine (Wisconsin) News- paper : From the Rucine Argus. Died at Whitestown, N. Y., November 29th, 1877, Mrs. Nancy R. White, wife of Hon. Philo White, aged seventy-five years. Four lung years, at an early day, they were prominent residents of Racine, as well as of Milwankee previously, It is with a sensation of real grief and pain that the-very many friends of General and the late Mrs, White, hear of the death of that most lovely and estimable lady, whose amaible char- acter was of the highest type of Christian wo- manhood. So loving and devoted to her friends, so genial, kind and charitable to all. Of personal character, with the advantage of very extensive travel, a life time of familiar intercourse, with the best society, she Was a generous, simple, elegant, Christian woman, possessed of a constant habit of courtesy and kindness, and a singularly winning manner and countenance. Gone when most we felt her worth, When her virtues brightest shone; Gone when all the joys of earth, Might be vounted as her own. May a loving and mercifu] God comfort her noble husband, for He alone can. ————— A bale of cotton was washed sixty miles down Neuse river by the recent freshet, and Burton Adams swam out and floated it a shore and took it to Raleigh and sold it for $40.41.

A Family Newspaper should contain a carefully-prepared summary of all the news of the day, both Religious and Secu- lar; andif arranged so that the two de- paitments may be separated and read by two individuals at the same time, so much the better. The Family Newspaper should have attractive reading and information for the various members of a household. Some portion of the paper should be de- voted, every week, to religious and moral improvement, to current secular news, to agriculture, commerce, markets, finance, to general literatare, &c., with a special department for the young. Above all, the Family Newspaper should be perfectly pure, and free from all contaminating in- fluences in its reading matter or in its ad- vertisements. Too much attention cannot be paid to this feature, when the press is flooding the country with so much that is vile and pernicious. To crown all, the Family Newspaper should be untrammelled by avy affiliation with seet or party, and should be free to give all the good news from and about all the world. If such a Family Newspaper ean be had for one cent a day, it should be taken by every family in the land. Such a Family Newspaper, in every re- spect, we find in the New YorK OpsER- VER, now commencing its fifty-sixth vol- ume.

A correspondent, *‘X,” in to-day’s paper, pays a fitting tribute to the sterling worth, the commanding abilities and the irre- proachable character and spotless reputa- tion of Hon.

And he said that there was an netive demand out in that region for wa- termelons, so he went into the business of raising them. And he said one year his whole crop failed except one melon, and that kept on growidg at such a rate that it crowded bim off the low land up on the side of the voleano, which generated steam and eatsed-an explosion which blew up the whole concern to atoms, and shot him four hundred miles out to sea, where he was p by a Whaler. He used to ci a n a was that he didn’t drive a plug into the crater of the volcano so as to make it wa- ter tight, and then slice open the water- melon and come sailing home on the half shell. “He would lie. He said that once he was cast away on an iceberg, with no baggage but a pair of skates and a fish- ing pole. But he skated about until he came across a dead whale, frozen into the ice. So he took off his shirt--it was night for six monts in the year up there—tore it into strips for a wick, ran the strips ./ through the bamboo fisbing-rod, stuck the rod into the fat of the whale, and lit the ether end. He said it burned splendidly, andthe iceberg reflected the light so strongly that it was bright as day for forty miles around, and one vessel ran into the berg, thinking it was a light-house. He | said he sold the iceberg to the Captain for : $5,000, and the captain split it up and took it home, and made two hundred per cent. poets disposing of it to ice com- panies, “Lie? Well, sir, he beat any man I ever came across, He told me once that out in Neyada a mountain lion attacked him, with its:mouth wide open. He had presence of mind te grab it by the tongue and pull. The Vion roared with pain, but he did his level best at pulling, and pretty soon the tongue began to give and the tail to shorten, and directly out they came, the tongue and the tail in one long continuous string. He said he had em at home, and he showed ’em to me, but my belief is they were only three or four cow-hides and a bull’s tail dove-tail- ed together, “He was astonishing as a truth-crusher. Said he served on a gun beat during the war which was very small and light, while the mertar on the deck was very large and heavy, and he said the first time they tried to fire a fifteen inch shell, the shell remained stationary, while the recoil was so great that it fired the gunboat four miles up the stream and landed it in a tree. He was a liar, but now he’s dead I reckon he’ll ketch it.” There was no doubt about it. Mr, O’Leary’s friend was ver¥ successful as a construdter of energetic works of fiction.

In everything done on the farm in New England this same plan is resorted to. If the soil is to be prepared, instead of set- ting a dozen freedmen at it with their mules and ploughs to sweat through a week, as we would do, eut come a ma- managed by a boy or two, andin an short space of time the job is done and well done.

T trembled from head to foot as soon as I entered the door, I couldn't look the pretty barberess in the face. I couldn’t summoh up courage enough to speak to her, Tn fact, I had nothing to say, so I stood and looked very sheepish. “Have a shave, sir?” said the barber- eas, advancing with a razor in one hand and with the other pointing to the chair. “Yes, shaved !” 1 gasped and flung my- self into the chair. ' “Why, you've just been shaved,” she said, drawing her silky palm across my face. ‘(Have 1?” I said, and then recollecting, “Ah, yes, shaved this morning early. I always shave twice a day.” . “Shave close ?” asked the pretty girl. “Yes, the closer the better.” “Hair cut too?” — “Yes, everything.” And then she commenced. With a lit- tle camel’s hair brusirshe painted my face with white soap suds. Then she put her fingers plump against my face and rubbed it all over. She stood behind me, and put her arms around my neck. I saw her in the glass in front. [never feltso in my life. “What would my wife say te this 1” I thenght. “Still, everybody in Detroit does it; and why not I?” So I shut my eyes and let her go on. After rubbing her yelvet fingers over my cheeks and chin till the beard was softened, she took out @ razor, honed it, and placing one arm around my head and her hand against my face to stéady it, commenced the down- ward movement of the blade. Once or twice I tried to look the pretty barberess in the face, but FE couldn’t. Sol sat and took it with my eyes shut. I don’t think L enjoyed it. And still I let her go on. She shaved me, drew her silky hand all over my face to see if it was closely sha- ven, and then combed my hair. “Shall I wax your moustache, sir ?” she asked. “Yes, wax away 1?” Then she leaned over till I could hear her breathe and feel her heart beat, placed her little fingers under my moustache and waxed the ends. Now I never wear my moustache waxed, but I couldn’t ask her to stop. “There, does it suit?” she asked, as she dusted off my neck and removed the apron. “Yes, it’s just right—lovely!” I said, “too sweet for anything!” and then I strode back to the depot to find the train had just gone, and that this Detroit bar- beress had caused me to miss a lecture engagement and a hundred dollar fee. No more pretty girl barberesses for me. Evi Perxixs. Atlanta Constitution: Gen. Matthew C. Butler, South Carelina’s new Senator, is the son of ex-Congressman_ William But- ler, and a nephew of Gen. Pierce M. Butler, who fell at Cherubusco. He is also a nephew of ex-Senater A. P. Butler. On his mother’s side he is a nephew of Commdoore 0. H. Perry. He was elect- ed to the Legislature in 1860—the only civil office he had held up to his admis- sion to a seat in the United States Senate. He rose during the war from the captain- cy of a cavalry company to the rank of Major General. His ability as a lawyer and his eloquence as a speaker are sure to win for him a high rank in the national councils. iocaeoperbediiipensss-ceaes Wendell Phillips is of opinion that the Republican party is om ite-last legs. ~He says: “It was merely a form when, by the skin of its teeth, it won the Presi- dency. The power and purpose and strength have gone out of it. Death and digagreement among its leaders have helped to kill it. The young generation of citizens know nothing of the great pur- poses of the party, the great battle it was organized to fight, the mighty leaders whe won its victery, the fruits of which are being fritted away and sold out by their degenerate descendants. The Republican party isa thing of the past.” Senator Lamar says the Republican party is doom- ed. So both sides are agreed on this.

The make up my mind to do it. Three times bride, attired’ in all the gorgeous finery “Oh, dear; how awkward you are!” The young man’s face colored as he stumbled off the rich garment, and he gave his arm to the lady while laboring under a confused mind. The pair wulked into the church and down the aisle to the alter. All eyes rested upon their move- ments, and a murmur of voices arose as they came in and took their positions be- fore the minister. The ceremony pro- ceeded, the minister asked the bride if she would accept the groom for her wed- ded husband, and received the usual af- firmative answer, and was about to inter. rogate the young man, when the latter im- pulsively and unexpectedly said to the bride: “‘O, dear; how awkward you are !” and quickly turning on his heel walked eut of the edifice without another word of explanation, leaving the astonished bride standing at the alter in mute bewilderment. The young man went his way in a carri- age, and the disappointed bride and maids who sought to comfort her left the charch for their homes. The occurrence was an actual one, and bas created no small amount of gossip in the vicinity where the chareh is situated. —- ——- - The Turks are said to be hopeless of success. The London Times says that a person holding a position of trust connect- ed with one of the highest personages of the Ottoman empire, declares that the Turks, as soon as Erzeroum is taken and the Adrianople road threatened, will treat separately with Russia, and cede the full passage of the Bosphorus to the Russians rather than permit them to advance on Constantinople. The final issue of thé war probably turns on Plevna. That place is the key to the Bulgarian country. Its loss. will force the entire Tarkish army, operating along the Danube, to fall back to the Balkans, and give the Russians such a decided advantage in the contest that Turkey’s wisest couise then would be to sue for peace. —=-@-+- A FAITHFUL DOG'S REWARD. The Jefferson (Mo.) Tribune says: ‘A gentleman who lives in Vernon county tells a remarkable story of the sagacity of a dog which accompanied him on his travels. While in the Short Creck tim- ber, on his way to Joplin, the dog jump- ed and canght the horse by the bridle rein. Mr. Ewing drove the animal off, but it persisted in catching the horse by the reins, until the gentloman concluded it must be mad. Under the impulse of the moment he polled his revolver and shot the animal, which then ran back along the road over which he had come: In a few minutes Mr. Ewing missed his overcoat, which had been tied to his sad- die, He turned back to find it, and after riding about a mile, not only found his coat, but his faithful dog, which was lying on the garment dead.” _— A beautiful young heiress in Moscow has married a beggar eighty-six years old. It was a queer look at first, put nothing could be more natural. The young girl — she is only twenty-two—could not enter into the possession of her fortunes until she was married, and the young men whom her guardian introduced her to were empty-leaded creatures, to whom she was unwilling to bind herself for life; so she resolved to marry an old beggar, and get the money without sacrificing her independence. The old man was one of her pensioners, and readily consented to marry her and then keep ont of her way, the beggars in town feasted and made merry on the wedding night. inde Smalls, the convicted South Carolina colored Congressman, is said to be “‘in a state of deep humiliation.” The kindness of Smalls te the family ofhis fermer own- er, the McKee family, of Beaufort, seems to have made a proufound impression in his favor. The A. M. E. Zion cognection, recently in session at Columbus, Ga., adopted the following upon the Liberian question : “Whereas, Our people are being persua- ded to go to Liberia; Resolved, That we, as ministers of the A. M. E. Zion connec- tion, do discourage their going, as we be- lieve it best for them to stay in the United States and cultivate the land, and make for themselves homes, and school their children and cultivate the kindest of feel- ings toward their former owners.” ALexanpau, V., Dec, 10,—Dr. Albert T.

Pe TERRIBLE EXPLOSION. One Hundred and. Twenty-Five Roys and Girls Killed and Wounded. New York, Dee. 20.—There was an explosion ten ninutes past 5 o'clock this afternoon in the tyamense candy manufac- tory of Greensfield & Strauss at No, 63 Barclay street, which extends tn the shape of an “T,” to College Plaee. The boiler was under the side-walk on the Barelay street side. It burst, tearing away the entire front and scattering the wreck in all directions. O§er one hundred and fifty girls were employes at the time in the building. The walls fell iu a few minutes after the explosion, A policeman on duty near the building says that he saw the front of the building, five stories high, fall into the street.. The ‘street is filled with screaming people, ‘There were abont 200 at work, T rushed to the pe lice station and gave the fire alarm, Sev- eral girls jumped trom the top of the bujld- ing into the’ fire. Several boys were blown throng) the roof, Fifty-six wound. ed and one dead were reported at Chambers street hospital at 0:45 o'clock, A number were also sent to Belleyue and cther hos- pitals. It is estimated that the wounded will reach 125, Out of 275 employed in the factory few escaped uninjured. The} number of the dead is uncertain until the wreck is cleared away, ‘The fire was un- der control at 6:30, and by 6:45 only a dense smoke surrounded the ruins. ~<_- THE HERON DISASTER.

Captajy Ryan pro- ceeded to sea at his own diseretion, and not under orders to sail regardless of weather; the vessel was thoroughly staunch and seaworthy ; herengines were iu excellent working order ; there was | no such stress of weather as to drive her from her course ; and the disaster can only be accounted for by the imprudence pf fuiling to stand far enough out to sea, the neglect to take such measures as might have been adopted to determine the position of the vessel, and the mis- tuke of using canvass when saihng 50 nea Mr. H.
