Albeit there are many men of talent and genius belonging to this class, they deserve little pity, sympathy orhelp. They are the world’s business tes—bound to fail, because, for- sooth, they will have it so! It.is the second of the aforementioned Classes over whom the aggels weep, ond for whom the hearts of good men bleed. Poor, lost, wandering travellers! They have taken the wrong road—perhaps a kind father and mother, when they were little children, guve them the very direc- tions in impticitly following which they have lost their way! How sad!

Once or twice the child-nature showed itself in her eyes, but was quickly followed by an expression of gravity and sorrow, touching in one so young. Ged does not aaaie | Finally she tarned away with a sigh, and does not permit every man to succeed and at that instant the confectioner’s door opened, and a lady, richly dressed, came out. “Sométhing in the child’s face or looks attracted her attention. She stop- ped, drew the shivering little figure to- ward the light, and seanned its curiously. “What is your name, dear 1” she asked, _ kindly. ~ | “Norah,” was the answer, given ina low voice, and with a look of wonder at the questiouer. “Norah !” echoed the lady, turning pale. “Norah what?” “Norah Brady, ma’am.” “Oh !” and an expression, partly of re- lief, partly of disappointment, swept over | the listener’s face. Then she slipped some money into the child’s hand, and whispered : “‘Spend it as you please, dear. It ia a New Year’s gift.” Norah’s cheeks flushed and she drew back a little proudly. “T can not take it, ma’am,” she answer- ed, in even, steady tones. “Pappa would be angry if I did.” “Angry that yeu actept a giftf Why so ?” “Because we are poor, and when people give us things, he says it’s out of charity.” But is that any reason for refusing them ?” ‘Yes, for papa and I are independent, and had rather earn our own money.” an air of dignity almost womanly. “You are a strange child,” was the re- ply, and the lady looked interested and amused. ‘Tell me where you live ?” and then Norah raised her honest blue eyes and said softly: ‘‘Please don’t think me ungrateful, ma’am. You are very kind indeed. Only, that papa has seen better days, and it hurts him now to be poor, or I might, perhaps, keep it.” And ful little glance that spoke volumes. “Have you a mother, dear?” question- ed the other. The blue eyes filled with tears. ‘‘No, ma’am,” she answered, in a quivering yoiee. “Mamma died three years ago.” Why was it that a throb of pain stirred the listener’s heart at these words? What was Norah’s mother to her? She felt drawn toward the child, she hardly knew why ; drawn, too, toward the dead mother, and the strange, proud father. Norah's eyes, Norah’s name, were like those of a sister she had lest—by a separation al- most worse than death. She had never forgotten it, and to-night the memory of that olden time softened her heart, and made her pitiful toward the grief of others. But all this while her carriage stood wait- ing, with a white-haired old gentleman inside, and the coachwan impatiently, stamping his feet. “J must leave you,” she whispered to Norah at last, longing to clasp the little figure to her breast. “I shall come and see you soon, may I not?” Then, seeing “Are you afraid papa will object! ‘Tell him eharity has nothing to do with it, but it is for my own sake, and because you remiod me of some one I loved years ago, that I wish to come.” Norah was a hospitable little soul, and the beautiful lady had completely won her heart. “Papa will be glad to see yoa,” she said, simply, “and, I too.” “Thank you, dear.” Then moved by a sudden impulse, the lady stooped down and kissed her. The coachman, looking on, rubbed his eyes, and thought that per- haps Norah was some prineess in diaguise. And so she was, and by a right more roy- al than that of blood or money. “What child was that?” questioned the white-haired old gentleman, as the lady took her seat in the carriage and bade the coachman drive en. “Some beg- gar with a tale of distress that touched your sympathy?” He looked at her fond- and iv a manner that showed she was “ ood * The little figure straightened itself with | The street and number were named, | she handed back the money with a wist- | the child hesitated to reply, she added: | a is to hee ae te . eer vf as eI “I am not unhappy,” she sid soft! “Why should Ibe?

Something seenis to tell he they are living and in want.” “Oh, that is because the agent we sent over to Ireland told us your father had lost his property. Yoa would nataral!y think of bim as poor after that.” “Yea, and when pride is joined to pev- erty, the struggle is the harder, Father was a strange man ; stern, and hauty and obstinate, but under the harsh exterior hid one of the warmest hearts that ever beat.

He could not have borne that; it would have been the added drop of bitterness that would have choked him.

No farther allusion was made by either side to the subject of ‘their camversation during the drive. But the thoughts of one kept continually recurring te the child she had seen in front of the corfectioner’s; and when Kate Hillard closed her eyes in sleep that night, it was withthe firm re- solve to see Norah's father eatly next day, and find out who he was and whence he came, for Norah’s words, Notmh’s looks, seemed like an echo from th¢ past, and had in them something of the spirit she remembered. Norah's thoughts were as fill of her as hers of Norah. “Such a lovely lady!” mused the child, as:she hurred home. “I don’t think papa wouldhave minded my taking the money, if hd could have heard all she said, and seen exactly how she looked. It is New Years Eve, and what if she were not a real lady, but just some fairy going about doing good. I saw a nice old gentleman inside her car- riage, though, and a live coachman on top.

My father warned me against_ the man, my mother told me of his false- hood and wickedness, and I deceived, be- trayed them both. Oh, I was guilty | of such base subterfuge, it seemed as if a, demon had entered into me, avd I was no longer my real self. Whatever they said only increased my obstinacy and made me more infatuated with the object of their censure. Besides, you must remem- ber, my father had reason to think I rob- | bed him in the night of my departure, | though the theft was committed without my knowledge, and by the wretch into whose hands I had trusted my honor and happiness. That I could have been so | blinded te his real character seems im- | possible now; but he had a winning, plausible manner, and I was vain and) ' | foolish, fond of flattery and admiration.” | “You fled to America at once, did you not, and wrote home from there f” | “Yes. My husband's villainy was first ‘ revealed to me on board of the ship that took us over. [ accidently came across the money he had stolen from my father, ‘and recognized the purse that held it as ‘one I had knitted myself. I asked for an explanation, and he gave it boldly, gloating over the idea of what he called a just and righteoous vengeance, instead of the hateful crime it seemed to me. It) | was there I found out there had been a feud ‘of long standing between him and my father, and that it was for this he had married me, and thus struck his enemy to the heart.” ‘Though the villain is dead, it makes my blood boil to think of him, Kate. But | did you not mention all this in your let- ters—the vile plot, the stolen money !” ‘*Yes, and more too, I told of my deso- late condition in New York, alone and . friendless, for as soon as we landed | fled | from the wreteh whom the law had made my husband. He fullowed me, persecut- ed me, prevented my obtaining any re- spectable employment ; and oh! the ter- rible life that I led those two years that he lived. It is dreadful te aay it, but his death was actually a relief.” “And they neveranswered your letters!” said ber husband indignantly, ‘1 cannot understand ‘sach vindictiveness.” “The first one was retarned unopened,” shé answered ; ‘‘of the others I never had any tidings. But Iam sure they would have forgiven me had they known it all. It may be the letters were intercepted.

Not a beggar,” and the lady smiled and told how Norah had refused the money. Kate. It makes me shiver. He was capa- ble of anything, and I have no doubt your suspicion was correct. But surely | woald not have seemed so. bitter. only kinder and more thoughtful.” It was towards a wretthed quarter of the city that Norah bent her steps, and the tenament where she stopped was old and dilapidated and crowded with human beings. She ascended the stars and found her way téaroom dimly-lighted by a tallow candle. The door stood open and she entered softly. Then shading her eyes with her hand, she looked around. There was a bed in one corner, and upon that lay a man asleep. “Poor papa,” she thought ; he is tired out. The doctor says he ought not to work, bat he will, and If can’t help it. I almost wish | had takea the money. It would have bought a chicken and I could have made him some broth to-morrow. But he wouldn’t have eaten it if he knew hew I got it. Oh, dear! itis so hard to be poor and have a sick father.” She bastled about a little, setting the room to rights, and tried to look cheerful, though she was dywn-hearted. Bat the tears came in spite of her when she went to the eupboard and looked in to see what there was for breakfast. Only afew dry crusts and a small piece of bacon. . If it had not been New Year’s eve their poverty She had gone hungry Wefore and never com- plained, but now, looking at her pale, worn father, and mmembering the sad Christmas they had spent, heart rebelled, and she almost doubted the goodness of God, who let poor people suffer thas. then her mother’s sweet fnce rose up be- fore her as if iv reproach, and she folded her hands together and breathed a prayer for help and comfort. Poor Norah! a child in years, but weighed down with a woraan’s cares, old in trouble and the wisdom born of it. It was well that she had early learned where to look for gaid- ance when sore and distressed and buaf- feted by the world. Her father did not awake, and she finally took up the bit of candle and re- tired to an inner room hardly larger than a closet. Its only fernitare was a little cot-bed. Into that she crept after tm- dressing herself, and soon fell asleep. She dreamed of an engel with the face of the beautiful lady who, in some magical way had been changed into a fiiry, all spaug- les and lace. The sun was nearly an hour high when she awoke the next morning, though her rvom was still dark, forit had but onelittle window high up thatopened on a brick wall. But she rubbed her eyes and loek- ed around as if bewildered, for surely some one bent ovér her, af Whispered, spftly, “Séttle sister! Little sister!” She sat up in bed, and she felt two arms clasp her close, and warm \Risses rain down on brow and lips aud cheeks» She was not afraid, only wondered what it all meant, and whether she was really in own little room, or in fairyland, or in heaven. “Dress quickly, dear,” said the voice she had heard first. “There is a gentle- man waiting for you,” . The voice was that of the beautifal lady and so was the form that she recognized by the dim light. ‘Half believing it a dream sti]l Norah slipped on her clothes, + - ae te -- ae ; — and Mr. Hillard; sbting tiem, ‘rete hasti« Hy and said, “Come, come, Katé, itis time we were going. Your father is ready, | and so is Norah. You can talk all you want to afterward.” Mr. O’Connell’s reluctance to accept his daughter's hospitality was’ finally over- come and he consented that Norah and him- self should make part of her household. His pride was great, and had led him to assume a false name, and almost make a martyr of Norah, but he had begun to have faint perception that a great deal of error and selfishness were mangled with it, and was ready to make amends: He soon afterward recovered his health, and through Mr. Hiltard’s instramentality obtained employment at once lucrative and honorable, so that he was enabled to support both himself and Norah indepen- dently. — Norah grow more like a child, and less like a woman, under the new inflences by which she was surrounded.

A MAN WHO SAW A MULE DIE.* “Ain’t it a curions thing that nobody ever sees a mule die?” remarked an old teamster in Gumbert & Webber's saloon. ‘No man living ever saw a mule die, I 8’pose ! Thus remarked Mr. ‘Daniels, lighting a fresh cigar: ‘‘In 1850 I was mining on the South Fork of the Yuba, and it came my turn to cook for my gang. We took turns each week, you know. Well, I was going to show how economical I could run the commissary. I went and boughta peck of dried apples ; they were all stuck together in a lump, bat I got ‘em jam- med into a pot, poured in some water and started the fire. Presently a few of ’em began to rise up tothe top of the pot, and so I skimmed ’em off and put ’em in a pan. Pretty soon some more bulged up, and I skimmed them off and put ’em in a pan, The first thing I knew after I had skimmed that blasted pot a while, I had to get another pan and then another, and by the time I got four pans heaped ap, dang my skin if there wasn’t more apples in the pans than there was in the pot. That is I thought so at the time. I kept getting more pans and buckets, and lard cans, and all the time plumb frightened death for fear some of the boys would come in‘and see how extravagant I was, for I had been blowin’ how cheap I could ran the mess. The blasted apples still kept comin’ out of the pot. I put some papers on the floor and covered ‘em with fruit, and by Jove, the place looked like a Santa Clara fruit drying establishment, and the pot was still bilin’ fall.’ ‘What has that got to do with a mule dyin? ‘Wait a minute. I’m comin’ to the mule. Finally I got desperate and dump- ed over twelve bushels of the apples back of the cabin, behind a tree. In abont an hour I heard a devil of a noise, and ran out. What do you suppose I found? Why, a four handred dollar mule kicking in the agonies of death. Theapples were all gone; the mule nearly so. He was swelled up like a balloon, and the first thing I knew he busted. Pledgemy word, gentlemen, he expleded like a giaut pow- der blast, and breught the whole camp to, the place. I kept still; they could ‘not find ‘the nruale, and it cost em $10 toad- vertise a reward for him in the Sacramen- to Union. About two weeks afterwards they caught a couple of Greasers hauging reand, and they put it up that they stole the mule, so they hung’em.. .I was there, but I did not say a word for fear the boys would find ont how extravagant I had run the commissary.

Metuopist Conx- FeRExCE adopted a petition to the Gen- erat Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Charch South, which meets next May, ask- ing that the name of the Church be changed. to~Episcopal Methedist Church,” It.is prob- ablethat the General.

A declaration which the speaker, wit all the earnestness of his nature, pro- nounced an infamous slander. And yet this i rr has found ve general currency that young ladies have come to the conclusion that if they were to wait till the hand of a mon of pure principle and life was offered them, they would not be blessed witha life rtner. 1 Fate If this were true, said the speaker, I would say to you with all theinten- a4 of my nature, live and die unbles- with the love aud companionship of a husband, rather than wed, moral and often physical . loathsomeness. And here I must be indulged witha} remark or two strictly germain to the _—_ but which from false notions of delicacy are too_often suppressed. | It is this: Though I-have the highest respect and confidence in the integrity, the virture of woman as a class, yet it has often been a matter of inexplicable mystery to me that young girls of un- sullied purity themselves will coun- tenance, yea, encourage the attentions, welcome to their parlors and tables young men whom they can but know are debauchees. My advice to cvery lady is, shun such characters as you would shun the infected district of the plague or association with the leper. Give them to understand, in no unmistakable way, that you will shun them as they would chun and despise you, ilty of a like sin. Nothing does more to break down. the ul of our young men in this fearful phase of it, than the encouragement given by otherwise good people of a commu- nity to the notion that such deviation from virtue’s path must be a in them ; and Siew that young ladies, pure as the virgin snow in life and character, will knowingly smile on and encourage the attentions of such. Had I a daughter, I would a thousand times rather see her arrayed in the drapery of death than that she should be united in the tenderest, dearest of human ties to such a beastialised spec- imen of humanity. From my heart of hearts I pity the young bride whose snowy attire in which she is led to the aftr is strikingly signifi-. cant, of the xk, of fier heart, but who stands there to be joined to one whose low views and practices more truly fits him for the compan- ionship only of a very different class of characters. A man with such views and life can never be fitted for the high and ennebling eompanion- ship of an intelligent, refined, virtu- ous loving woman. But while a deep, ardent sympathy forthe noble daugh- ters of our land tempts me to linger on a phase of my topic so intimately connected with their dearest interests for time, not to say highest hopes for eternity, daty to my audience requires me to advance. <<< —— ee Rev.

Mavy.a ope whe had fondly expected to retrieve losses during that year was dis- appointed and found his affairs, as the mouths rolled away, in a worse condition _ than at the begiuuing. Many others fail- ed completely, and their property, shin- gled over with martgagea or exceutions, passed under the anctioneer’s hammer. No one cap estimate the mental suffering of this class of our fellow citizens. Many of them are advauced la years, and have spent their lives in labor and toil, and now when they ought to be able to enjoy a conparative rest for a brief spell before quitting the world, they find themselves and families ia want, and every avenue of eacape frem the harrassing condition closed against them. Look as they may they ean find no relief, and the wonder is that so few fly to the ills they know not _ ef, rather than endure the tartures of the present. Fortunately the daily recurring demands on their time and strength keef _«. them awvell employed, and-ne doubt é wany a man who would otherwise became desperate. Labor, when not too grimding, is the best diversion a traubled man can tind, and happy is he wha can aceept the situation and hapefally toil an, Now at theclase.of a year so full of hardships and disappointments it would be well for all to review the past with the view of detecting errors, and jnatituting such changes in the mode of life and the management of business as will afford promise af hettcr success, It is a time for laying plans for retreuchments and re- forms; and when laid, sternly to parsne tliém is the beat possible evidence of man- ly courage and fortitude.

The Sultan has taken the only course consistent with a calm review of what it must do if it should last much longer. The cireular to the powers showed that the peace party at the Porte had for a time got the upper- hand. It proposed terms which would no doubt have been inadmissible even before the war, and which wonld not bear dis- cussion after the terrible battles of the last six months, but the Porte did not.in- tend the circular to be taken as its last word, Now that all the powers have courteously but firmly declined to ap- 1 the Sultan has wisely asked this country to use its good offices to bring about ne- gotiations for peace.

Lonpon, December 26. Mr. MeGahan, the correapondent of the Daily News at Plevna, sends a terrible story of the state of things prevailiug in and around the captured town. Before the recent great storm Plevna was sim- ply a charnel house. Modern warfare hae no parallel for it, and ita horrors can only be compared to those which folluwed in the wake of Genghis Khan or Timoar, as their savage Tartar hordes swept over and desolated Asia, The famished dogs, of whieh there are always large numbers in every Turkish town, were feeding on the corpses of the dead and the bodies of the still living wounded. The savage howls of the greedy brutes as they tore the putrid flesh of the dead or crushed the bones bét ween their teeth, the cries and groans of the wounded as they vainly struggled with the dogs, might be heard for miles around and make the soul sick. Birds weve- pecking at the skalls, hop- ping from body to body, with beaks'and plamage besmeared with huwan blood, and sereaming with flendish delight. Dogs fought ameng themselves, and birds strag gled with bird for the possession of a mor- sel of human flesh, and, the most inde- seribable horror prevailed. In one house alone thirty-seven dead and thirty-three wounded Turks were found, some.of the latter in a half deeom- posed and putrid state, abd the wounded in a¢oudition that can be more easily imagined than described. Some of the wounded were able to crawl about and clutched at odd morsels of food that were found in the hands of the dead, devouring it with feverish avidity; but thousands of them were utterly helpless and awnit- ed death or suceor with a listless fataliam.

PROSPECTUS OF The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public want of the business men and of the interests of the county. The titme hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have ‘a public journal ofits own to represent its inter- esta in the various affairs of business, local and general. There is no county ‘in the State that wonld not be greatly benefited by a journal) within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motien of the local interests of {he community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it serves; and every cilizen should give it his countenanee and support it liberally, as a means of increas- ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becoines the more beneficial, it will prove; and as the money required for ita support is far less than the material good it does, it is the best invest- ment any county ean make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country, If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed in reapect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the edilor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of publie concern, and give to his readeis the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be trne in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to altain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his persorial con- vietions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- itive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the-civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776. The danger waa immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people. While that party shall continue more pure and traly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it. But the main design of The Record is toserve the county of Davidson in all the ways it may be possible to advance lier interests and pro- mote the welfare of her people. And to this end the undersigned desires such intiinate re- lations with her citizens as shall enatle him ‘to perform bis duty efficiently. The paper will be published weekly at $1 a year in advance. It will be small, but neatly to make up in quality what may be lacking in size, The firat number will appear about the first week in January, 1878. Very respectfully. Cc. H.

When in the middle of the stream his horse became frightened at a | rack—sach as are placed across streams ‘in the line of fenees to prevent el hogs, &c., from passing through the w: ter into or out of the fields—which was | hoating towards him, and started down stream. Soon the buggy and horse were in swimming water, and while the latter was struggling to reach the bank he atrack | another rack of the same description as that mentioned abeve and got fastened beneath it. Gen. Means was thrown out of the buggy, and with great difficulty managed to swim tothe bank. The horse drowned and at last accounts the buggy was still in the stream.—Char.

She hus received a mail service —such as it is; excellont on the railroad lines, but off of these uuwerthy the name. What the postal service in the State costs we have no means now of telling, but in calculating the cost of this it must be borne in mind that the people partially support this by money other than that which they pay directly into the treasury —by the money with which they bay postage stamps, postal cards, money or- ders, &c. In addition to the mail service our State had received since the war up to June 30th, 1876, according to a report made out by Secretary Sherman, and published in the Osskaver in June last, appropriations amounting to a total of $1,124,500 for the following purposes: For the improvement of the Cape Fear, Roanoke, Pamileo, French Broad avd Perquimans rivers, and the building of a United States post office and court house lin Raleigh. We have no statement of the appropriations which have been made for public works in this State since the date indicated—June 30th, 1876—bat they have been insignificant. : Now is there any justice in this system which has obtained, up to thie time, of taking all this money from North Caro- lina and making her no return for it?

He was hungry, and met her in #ietoad with a large supply of bread and wine and grapes and figs, Of course he loved her, Even a dog licks the hand that feeds him kindly, And Abigail was @ noble woman, worthy to rule in a royal heart. Anna was also a widow rich in faith. But we are thinking of a rich widow now living in Nerth Carolina. She also prepares great dinnera and in- vites—the hungry poor, Qn cold rainy days she keeps a pot of hot coffee on the fire, and when she sees a suffering travel- “er, she calls him in, seata him before a fire to dry his clothes, and refreshes him with a cup af coffee and a loaf af bread. She always has some smoking pies when her pastors, or any other preachers come, and they seldom fai] to come when the opportunity is presented. She inquires among her neighbors and reads the pa- pers to ascertain how she may do good with her money, A year aga some hun- -gty orphans passed her door, while she was not at home, and she sti]l regrets that they did not stop and let her come and feed them, as she had often dane before. O what a treasure is such a woman! “Her price is far above rubies.” The gold of Ophir could pot buy her fram egr people. And when the Lord shall take his treas- ure home (and we pray that he may spare her many days) the people will weep as they did when Darcas died, and shaw the garments which she gave them them and the alms which she sa freely bestowed. But how came such a woman here? We raised her! Yes, she wasa poor orphan girl, and some friend sent her to achool @.d she improved her opportunities and beciime an intelligent, industrious, qnd economical waman, She became also the wife of a good business man, and they acéumalated a large eatate, Death made her a widow, and the Lord appointed her a.e of his stewards to-do good on the ‘earth. We cauld name many such wo- men in our noble State, and generally they are the mothers of our most ysefal mén, Let us then take all our little girls, your little daughters, your neighbors’ lit- tle daughters, and the little daughters of the dead, and train them to walk in the paths of purity and usefulness, so that they will do good and not eyi] all the days of their jives. They may be poor, and their poverty may help to prepare them for the duties and trials of life, But y lie Song hia gourse ma . on either , far-stretch let us try to leave them av inheritance}. which will one day make them rich in wisdom and grace, rich in grateful love and good works on the earth,—Orphan’s Friend, ——__.q@po—_— “COULDN'T LIE FOR THAT MONEY.” A story is told of a young lawyer, who had iw his hands a number of unsettled acé@unts against an old farmer in the vicinity, who never paid any debts unti] he was sued, and then only after loud out- eries against the lawyers for “grinding the face of the poor.” One day he came in to settle 9 bill, when the lawyer offer- ed to discount him 9 dojlar and a half if he would go into the street, mingle with all the groups of people whom he might meet and lead in conversation up to a point where he could incidentally remark that he (the lawyer) was a sharp and worthy fellow. The old man wanted the money finally; he said impressively: “Squire! I'ma very old man and have done many wicked things in my life; but with my views of eternity I can’t lie like that for money.” The dollar and a half was discounted without oxtorting any recom pefise therefor, —_-——_~—P>-— A red-nosed reprobate, whose wardrobe could only have been merchantable by the pound, entered the corner-grocery, nod planting ay empty soda-water bottle on the counter, said: “Gimme some al- cohol to cleau silver with.” Al] right,” respouded the dealer in wet goods, ‘let's see your silver.”—~Boston Rulletin, = There isa dead editor out West. He died suddenly. The cause of his death was this paragraph: “Cows, elephants, rhinoceroses and hjp- popotamyses may run gracefully, but o woman can never.” That settled it. Next morning he was found a corpse, with a gory | roomstick tuer Ridaclub, yeaterday afternoon were in the town of Brighton, The distance was 200 yards; all three were shooting Creedmoor” rifles. From the firing point to the target the ground gradually ascended, so that a small tele- seope, bat a good one, firmly fixed in true bounds an a tree, at a distance of perhaps thirty feot, made « fine peint for obaerva- tion. One of the shooters, while Jooking through thé glass to mark a shat fot one of his companions, exclaimed that ho saw the ball as it aped on its mission, The announcement waa received with incredu- lity; but one of the other shoatera wont to the glasa, and he also saw the ball almost aa it left the gun, and through its whale rceteiadananla a Li's a> it a ae % * tide shogting. flight, nearly the whole line of its trajec- tory, until it strack the target, Sa inter~ esting and begutifnl was the sight that every ball was watched hy one or the oth- er of the gentlemen; and it is ap actual fact that the point at whieh the ball would strike the target could be agen before the ball struck, It was even insisted apan that the retary motion of the ball could be abserved.—Rorceater N. Y. Herald, A SACRED OLD RELIO, A colored man yesterday tarned anc- tioneer to work eff two old stoves for a dealer on Gatriot avenue. Onc waa sold withant tranble, but as the other “held over” on him, he meynted 9 barre] and began: ~ “Qem’len and woman, dis yere atave was once de property af George Washing- ton,” A hnge langh of derision greeted his statement. Singling out the higgeat man in the crowd, the auctioneer asked : ‘Doan’ you believe dat George Wash- ington once oped dis sere atove 7” “No, sir.” ‘“Dat’s de same as callin’ me a liah, sah, and you'll hey to chaw dem words, sah.” He jumped down and waltzed oyer to the stranger, but was knocked down in a York minate. That was plenty for him, and after feeling of his head to see how much of it was left, he mounted the barrel and called aut: “How much doT heah for dia stove— once de property of Gin’ral Grant.

PAT'S DREAM, A san of the Emerald Isle was observed one morning to look very blank and per- plexed, and a friend asked what ailed him. Pat said he had had a dream. “A good or bad oye 1” asked his friend. Pat answered it was a little of both. “Fuith, I'll tell ye, I dreamed I was wid the Pope, wha was qs great a jintleman as any in the disthrict, an’ he axed me would Idrink? Thinks I, would a duck swim? And seeing the craythur, an’ the lemons an’ the sugar on the sideboard I towld him I didn’t care if I tuk a wee drap of puneh.” ‘Cowld or hot ?” axed the Pope, “Hot, yer holiness,” I replied; and with that he stepped down into the kitchen for the bilin’ wather, but before he got back I woke straight up; and it’s disthressing me that I didn’t take it cowld.” ee = SATURDAY NIGHT, —— spending Sunday in a profitable way, we say that Saturday night is one of the rest- ing places in the journey of life, when it becomes every man to settle his accounts. Observe the following : Settle with the world. The business of a single week is easily reviewed—its mis- takes may be easily rectified, its experi- ence turned to good account. The man of business should some time ov Saturday look over his books, examine his out- standing debts, and see that all is straight and safe. This is all the more important if his accounts are numerous. Great watchfulness is required if he would es- cape embarrassment and trouble. He who knows exactly how he stands every Saturday night will not be likely to live a poor man; or, if he does, he will hardly ever be found in debt or in want. 2. Settle with conscience. Let him re- view his words and his actions, his mo- tives and his feelings during the past week. If anything is seen to be wrong er defective (and who is he without fault ?) let the remembrance of it be carried into the next week, that 9 repetition of it may be avoided. Let him in prayer seck not only forgiveness for what he has been amiss in the past, but grace to do better the coming week, HE3. Settle with the Lord's treasury. F,very man owes constant returns of gratitude to the Giver of all good. Is it not meet to finish the settlement of Saturday night by-reviewing all the merjts of the week, and setting apart of the portion of its pro- fits to serve some good cause that will promote the glory of Him ‘‘who gave Him- self for us?” How much better and hap- pier might life be with 9 downright hon- est settlement every Saturday night! How mach brighter would Sunday morn- ing be; how much mere profitable the whole day, ~—<>e——_—_— Tue Pouite Max,—‘‘A polite man,” said the Duc de Morny, “‘is one who lis- tens with interest to things he knows all about when they are told him by a person who knows nothing about them,” To form a correet judgment concerning the tendency of any doctrine, we should rather look at the fruit it bears in the disciple than the teacher.

They named it Milk because milk is about the same thing as water. The pope's eldest brother died at ninety, his mother at ninety-eight, and his grand- father at ninety-three. Habberton accounts for the foolishness of the small boy. “The small boy bad a futher, and this father was once a small bey himself.” The Chicago Journal says: “When & man imagines that he is a prophet and a philosopher he takes to long hair and a dirty overceat,” Two million years ago, a bird twelve feet high was promenading along the bank of the Connecticut river, and Pref. Hitch- cock has just discovered its tracks. Faith is sometimes persenified as a drenched female clinging to a sea- washed rock; but a better personification would be a bald-headed man buying a bottle of patent hair restorer. Mr. Watterson tells in his leetare of a Mississippian who was asked whether it was worth while to carry a pistol: ‘Well, stranger,” he answered, “you moat move about for a year and not want it, and then again you mout, and, if you do need it, you will need jt powerful.” The Charleston News indulges extra va- gant hopes. ‘One of these days,” it says, “the ideal president will take up his quarters at the white house, and frame a message that can be read in five minutes, and will leave the public in no uncertain- ty as to his views on every matter of im- portance.” Denton, Texas, has a desperado of African descent named Faust, whose ideas of fun are rather peculiar. Cocking a pistol on a divine, he made him get down and compelled him to but an oak tree un- til he made the acorns fall. Mephisto- pheles will run off with that fellow some day.

That seat of life in the human organization, should net be neglected. All know how fatal are these diseases, and how they frequently launch men into eternity without a momenit’s warning. Symptoms are: severe pain in the region of the heart, and an unnatural th or g of that organ at times; irregular circulation; col extremities, etc. If you have the least suspicion that your heart is in anywise ted, attend to it at once. ; RHEUMATISM. Another disorder for which an alkaline treatment seems peculiarly fitted; a very common, very painful, and, some- times, very sg moe disease. It is essentially a disease of the blood, which, for some reason not well understood, becomes thoroughly charged with an acid. Circulating with the blood, it comes in contact with the fibrous tissue, that tissue of which the ligaments of the joints,the coverings of the muscles, and the lining of the heart, are made. This tissue is inflamed by the acid, and a painful disease results. The poison is floated from joint to joint, and one after another is attacked in succes- sion. When the disease is fully established, the patient presents a pitiable spectacle of helpless suffering. He is very restless, yet dare not move. The weight of the bed clothes wa. ean barely be borne. The sweat, the urine, the saliva, are all sour. Rverything points plainly to the nature of the disorder, an acid poison in the blood. The lining of the heart is made bof the same fibrous material, and that in turn may be attacked, convesting, it from a simple painful disease, to one of very t danger, When recovery takes place after the heart has Geen affected, there is often in store, future batl health, palpi- tations and dropsy. FITS, OR EPILEPSY. Fathers and mothers, have you children that are having acloud spread over their young lives like a pall by this malady? ‘Young men or ladies, do you feel that your nervous system is becoming shattered, and your mind weakening under the influence . of this terrible disease? In many cases this disease does not seem to affect the general health or the mind for some time, But thongh its effects may be tardy, they are sure to come, and the unfortunate victim is carried finally to the asylum or a premature grave. This disease requires A thorough, vigorous treatment. That is our plan, and we have treated it with success in all its stages. . A DISEASED LIVER. Those suffering from a diseased liver will be afflicted with the following symptoms: Pain in the right side, under the edge of the sth, increased on pressure ; sometimes the’ pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is some times mistaken for a rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness, the bowels in gen- eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the ae is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a ccmbhen es loss of memory, accompanied with a pai sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of | the skin ; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely sum- mon up fortitude enough to try it. tn fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases ‘have occurred when few of them existed, yet exam-. ination of the body after death, has shown the Aver to have been extensively deranged. ee d it. after twenty| more a & aj se Si cera oo. s e é ee 223 Relat 9 . us bie 2 i : pes, 7 ali Ga Pata wre Baas Sa A hiecdin aia Veal ie ane Deeks tienda en a ay a pee 7 i - -can be more true than Ge’ tates ceneennias prea thas ea candeegees a to re’ t ti two iti \ on ht hand r corners of “ae two inside & woman We see the rounded Clear of phi from the roof of the mouth to fie shroat, dat : 7 ee tee li aan headache, offensive breath, hawking and pitting, sor te pe fe x vee eee t a a throat, running at the nose, and in a short time following th ‘good fra cies clear eyes, an e step.

You may think some of our cures seem unreasonable to you, but do you remember that but a few years ago the railroad and telegraph and a hundred ‘other mechanical trinmphs seemed unreasonable? This is an age of progress In medical as well as mechanical sclence. To put this in the form of a colloquy, you, a8 a patent, May say > “Well, I have tried so many things, and even my dectors have treated me along time. J have not been helfed, and I am discouraged.” Answer—As to your doctors, they should be frank enough to fe// you thet they have not the means and bl dae necessary in treating chronic oases, and that their business is solely to treat the acuts discases of the country, and in that they may excel us. And because = have tried with- out success the various patent nostrumts, made by the Aundred gallons at @ time, and not designed for any special case, does it follow that you can pot be cured by careful, thorough, systematic treatment, adapted to your ows particular temperament, Constitution and digcase?

My grandfather was educated at the gram- mar school at Ashford, where he was born and reared. He had propgsed to follow a profession ; but his father having moved to Wales some years before, and dying there, left considerable property in land ; and thé fifeséics of the only surviving son being imperatiyely needed there to settle the affairs ofthe etate, my grand- father reluetantly abandoved his project, and. like a good son and brother, devoted the best years of his early manhood to the care and support of his mother and his ing that I am permitted to come.” “Give me your hand on that.” So they shook hands over the agree- ment—my grandfather jocosely, and Mar- ley, as he always said, with the most ser- rowful face he ever saw. For three years after the removal of my relative to Wales, be corresponded quite regularly with Marley. He had addressed himself resolutely to the settle- ment of his father’s estate ; and finding it much involved, and threatened with fore- closure which he knew would be disas- trous, he went to work to clear off the debt. There was a great deal of hard work done, and a great deal of roughing before the consummation was reached ; but at the end of three years he was fair- ly launched upon the tide of prosperity, and he knew that all he wished to do would be done in half a score more of years, if his life and health was spared. two young sisters. I may say, in passing, path 7 atity'prsved in the end wal FP to wealth qnd eomfort for him, and that, independent of the all-sufficient reason which he found in a sense of duty, he never regretted the removal from Kent, and the consequent relinguishment of his Arthur had not visited him at the end or at the end of the second. He wrote that he was studying hard for his diploma in medicine, and that, hard as it was te wait, he had succeeded in persuading bim- self that it would be better for him to de- sade me ; and I thought he went about way | qneer, without making any noise.” “In God’s name, what did it look like?” the startled brother exclaimed. In the fewest possible words the girl described the mysterious figure that had just quitted his chamber. My grandfather rushed out of the room ne : 4 sole . ee 4. ©} = ere a Oh * ; ae Belin Pts teers whe ty r sertt ato bes Li he : prudent, 4h Mew }iu tl as THE FINANCIAL car y ~ From the Chicago ard?

He searched the, outside and the inside of the house ; and although two or three persons were stand- ing so that they must.have seen the en- trance into or exit from the dwelling, by either the front or rear door, of any one, they solemnly declared that they had seen no such figure as he described.

But there were these at Ashford who did regret it, and none more than Arthur Marley, his bosom friend.

My grandfather wrote back, heartily assenting to the proposition, andassuring Marley that he was quite sure he could find an advantageous practice here.

An Mengel’s building is, now on exhibi? 5 There was a striking contrast, physically, between'the two. My grandfather was tall and broad-shouldered, almost burly in form, with florid face, and the most robust health; while Marley was rather under-sized, slender in body and limb, with a pale, sickly face, and a pair of eyes that barned with, iptellectaal fire of al- most preternatural brilliancy. Their friendship had begun while they were mete boy¢,-having its origin in the hearti- ness with which my grandfather came forward to champion the other against the petty tyrannies of the-ballies of the school ; and as they grew up together, the very differences im their bedily and men- tal organization served to draw them to- Marley was a profound and in- defatigable stndent, and had a rare sweet- ness ce sition, and a zealous attach- rient fae few h@loveds » My ancestor, although less in intellect and scholarship than Marley, had a cool, correct judgment, and a knowledge of men which the other lacked, and alse a firm will. ~ *E don’t think that Damon and Pythias could have loved each other better than Arthur Marley and I did,” was my father’s habitual exprression in speaking of it. It must have been a terrible shock to Marley when he learned what my grand- father’s new plans in life were. He «inconsolable for a whole day at the idea of parting; and though he soon saw that his friend could in honor and duty to his own kin do nothing else than he proposed to do, he did not cease to deplore the ne- eessity that parted them until the sor- rowful moment arrived. “It is very hard to lose you, Charley,” he said, “after my mind has settled down to the delightful prospect of being asso- ciated with you for life. And now are going to spoil all this by burying your- self away off in the wilds of Wales, where I may never see you again !” “It is hard, Arthur,” my grandfather would respond ; but you know the old adage, ‘Man proposes—God disposes.’ ” “Jt is so hard to let you go!” the poor boy would persist. ‘‘All my relatives are dead, and you are the only one I care a straw about. I don’t feel complete with- out you Charley. Ido want you by me to lean on over the rough ways of life, and I shall feel half dead when you are gone.” My grandfather was deeply pained him- self at the near prospect of a separation, and much affected by the grief of his friend ; and he cheered him as well as be could by telling him that they would meet again soon, and that he should fix an early day for his friend to visit him in his Welsh house. The night before his departure they were sitting together in their room, al- most too sad for speech, in anticipation of the morrow. was you Marley had been sitting for some moments with one hand on my re- Jative’s knee, his eyes on the floor, when he suddenly looked up, and asked, *‘Do you believe in presentiments ?” “I can’t say that I do,” was the reply. “T do, however, and I have had one of unusual force and clearness for the past week. It is, that we two shall never meet again in the flesh, after to-morrow.” “Stuff!” said my grandfather. ‘You'll gee me on my estate in a year from now.” “T believe what | have told you,” Mar- ley, quietly and firmly persisted—“‘that we shall never meet again as men. I know very well, my dear friend, that you utterly disregard the supernatural in this life, and laugh at the idea of post- morten apparitions. I, on the contrary, firmly believe in them ; and I believe that if you and I should now solemnly agree thatthe one who dies first shall appear te the other in the same friendly aspect that we now bear, the compact, would be ful- ” >: 3 eae iwnee nofisensé !”, ‘ “T think otherwise. Will vee promise with me ?” “T gee no harm in making the promise,” mutual satisfaction, their correspondence was continued in the same friendly and loving spirit that had characterized their association at Ashford. The time appointed by Arthur for his coming was drawing nigh, He was ex- pected to arrive about the end of July, and it was now the first of the month. My ancestor’s mother and sisters had the necessary preparations almost completed, as he had requested them to be timely with them. “Tt is just like Arthur to_get over-im- patient, and surprise us three~weeks in advance,” he said. “I shouldn’t wonder te see him walk in here any day.” But that he did not really expect his friend’s arrival much short of -the time is evidenced by the fact that on the Sabbath morning, the 8th of July, as he distinetly remembered, he sat down in his room to write him a letter. He had dated the sheet and written “Dear Arthar,” when he beeame aware of the presence of an- other person in the room. The chamber where he sat, I should ex- plain, was at the head of the main stairs, The door lead- ing out of the room was closed, and there which were quite wide. were no means of ingress except by the windows, which were fifteen feet from the ground. Isay that he became aware of the presence of another person in the room ; how he be- came aware of it, he himself could not ex- plain. Nor do I think that this alone would be any indication of supernatural influence ; for it is within the actual ex- perience of most of us that the presence of a human being bebind us will of- ten be detected by us in some imyster- ious way, with no help of eyes, ears, or the sense of touch. My grandfather sat with his writing table against the window, which he faced as he sat, and with his With the half-formed thought that his younger sister, a mis- chievous spirit, had softly entered to frighten him (although he had heard no sound whatever), he abruptly turned round in his chair. Notsix feet from him, and about one-half the way between him and the door, stood Arthur Marley. He was inhabited very much as he used to be three years before ; his face was thin and pale, and his eyes brilliant as then. yet a most sad smile, and the look that my relative encountered was one of the back to the door. His face wore a sweet, most yearning tenderness. “Why Arthur, heaven bless you, my boy !” my grandfather cried, jumping up. “J thought you'd steal a march on us, and here you are. heart !” He advanced as he spoke, holding forth his hand. To bis astonishment, the fig- ure receded as he meved towards it. He paused ; it paused ; he advanced again ; it again receded. Continuing to approach it, he saw it retire before him, without the motion of a person walking, but with a noiseless, wavy motion ; and with the same expression upon its face, it vanished before his eyes. Welcome, with all my Not until then did the thought possess my grandfather’s mind that he was visited by a supernatural apparition ; and when that idea presented itself, immediately upen the strange disappearance of the figure, the recollection of his compact with Marley, three years before, at once occurred to him. He_had no fright, either during the appearance of the presence, or after it had gone; but that he was amezed and awe-strack he always admitted. Yet he thought that four strokes of the pen- dulum could not have been told after ita disappearance before his sister rushed breathlessly into the room. ‘(Has Mr. Marley come, Charley ?” was her eager question. “No. Why do you ask ?” he stammer- ed. “Well, who was it that just came out of this room, and down stairs? I met him \ aaid the other, laughing, “always provid- on the stairs, and he didn’t even look at see dear Charley a great deal quicker now; bat may be I shall not be able to speak to him. Do you write to him and tell him that I blessed him with my last words. Poor fellow! 1 suppose hishead was wandering, though nothing but hig talk would baveshown it. We all sym- pathize deeply with you.” My grandfather uniformly concluded the story much in these words: “If any one asks me whether I have any doubt that the spirjtual part of my dear friend visited me, in falfillment of his promise, immediately upon his separation from the body, I answer, no, not the slightest. It was seen by two witnesses, my sister and myself, at nt places, at diferent times, and by unkpown te the other. To doubt, under all the circamstances of the case, would be to trifle with an irre- sistable conclusion, I cannot explain, it any more than I can explain the mystery of the future state itself; I can only point to my dying friend, with his strong, pas- siovate yearning to be with me, and say, “With God, nothing is impossible.” cet a A MEAN ADVANTAGE. There were a score or more of women gathered together at Mr. Jehnson’s house. Mr. Johnson is a good hearted man and a respectable citizen, though he is rather skeptical about some things. The wowen had just organized “The Foreign Benevo- lent Seciety,” when Mr. Johnson entered the room. He was at once appealed to donate a few dollars as a foundation to work on, and Mrs. Graham added : “It would be so pleasant, in after years, for you to remember that you gave this society its first dollar and its first kind word.” He slowly opened his wallet, drew out a ten-dollar bill, and, as the ladies smack - ed their lips and clapped their hands he asked : “Is this society organized to aid the poor of foreign countries 1” “Yes” “Yes” “Yes” they chorused. “And it wants money ?” “You” “Yeo!” “Well, now,” said Johnson, as he fold- ed the bill in a tempting shape, ‘‘there are twenty married women here. If there are fifteen of you who can make oath that you have combed your children’s hair this morning, washed the dishes, blacked the cooksiove, and made the beds, I'll donate this ten dollars.” “T have,” answered two of the crowd, and the rest said: “Why, now, Mr. Johnson!” “If fifteen of you can make oath that your husbands are not wearing socks with holes in the heels, this money is yours,” continued the wretch. “Just hear him!” they exclaimed, each ove looking at the other. “If ten of you have boys without holes iu the knees of their pants, this ‘X’ goes to the society !” said Johnson. “Such s man!” they whispered. “If there are five pair of stockings in this room that don't need darning, I'll band over the money !” he went on. “Mr. Johnson,” said Mrs. Graham with great dignity, “the rules of this society declare that no money shall be contribu- ted except by members; and as you are not a member, I beg that you will with- draw, and let us proceed with the routine business.” ———-_-_-— the a tute the silvet déllar if remonetized ?

As Peter approaches Satan looks out of a window above and tempts him. Five times the devil appears, and when Peter passes, denying Christ, the cock flaps its wings and crows. When Judas appears Satan comes down from his window and follows Judas as in the procession, and then goes back up to his place to watch Judas, ap- pearing on both sides. As the procession has passed, Judas and the three Marys disappear and the doors are closed. The scene can be repeated seven times in an hour if necessary, and the natural motion of the clock produces it four times per hour, whereas the Strasburg procession is made but once a day, at 12 o'clock.

When the ‘hour hand approaches the second quarter or half there are head the strokes of two bells. Then the Youth appears, and the organ playsahymn. After this Time strikes two and reverses his hour glass, when two bells respond inside. One minute after this a chime of bells is heard, when a fold- ing door opens in the porch and one at the right of the court, when the Saviour comes walking out. Then the apostles appear in procession. The elock also tells of the moon’s changes, the tides, the seasons, days and day_of the month and year, and the signs of the zodiac; and on the top a soldier in armor is constantly on guard, walking back andforward. As the hours advance, Manhood, Old Age and Death take part in the panorama. The cetton crop for the last eight years has been 31,570,212 bales.

He was created a Cardinal in 1856, when Pius IX. was extremely anxious to conciliate the Prussians in general and Bismarck in particilar. MEHEMET ALIS WIT.. Mehemet Ali, the founder of the Egypt ruled by his grandson, the present Khe- dive, was a soldier, a statesman and a law-giver. Theugh wholly uneducated, he was aman of genius, and a natural ruler of men. ‘‘He found,” says a writer, —recalling the boasf of Augustus that he found Rome of brick and left it of marble, a ceuntry.” Mehemet, though wanting in culture, had quick mother-wit, and was as ready with a retort as‘a Frendhman. While he was building thé canal which connects the Nile with the sea of Alexandria, he asked a French engineer what he thought of the plan. “Your Highness must pardon my sug- gesting,” replied the Frenchman, ‘that your canal will be very crooked.” “Do your rivers in France run in a straight line ?” abruptly asked Mehemet. “Certainly not,” answered the aston- ished Frenchman. ; ““Who made them? Was it not Allah ue ‘“Assuredly, your Highness,” réplied the Frenchman, thinking the Pacha’s wit must be wandering. “Well, then,” replied Mehemet, with an air of one who had led his antagonist right up to a fact which settled the ques- tion, “do you think that either you or I know better than Allah how water ought torun? I imitated him in my canal; other- wise, it would soon have been a dry ditch, not a canal.” : . ; “The Frenchman was silenced, but not convinced,” remarks Mr. De Leon, who tells the story; ‘and the canal is certain- ly very crooked still.” ¢ - an -Patiersqn’s days af, innocence were spent in a.newspape r office. -3 = said to be one of Mr. Conkling’s organs, | says “The Republican party has no negro | ig ‘AWHY.

TheG@hurch suffers greatly for the Jack of clergy. In many cases there are four churches under the care of one: pastor, and, consequently, many pnipits are occupied not oftener than once & month. The American Methodist Mission in Norway was organized last year into an annual con- ference. Bishop Andrews, who visited the mission in 1876, says there are no legal_ob- structions in its way. Chureh, property is held regularly by trustees, and the minis- ters have full liberty to perform the rite of marriage, and, to administer the Lord’s Sup- per and baptism. Those whe wish to, ex- cept youths under nineteen years of age, may withdraw from the Established Church by notifying their pastor, and join the Methodists, who have, however, to pay tax- es for the support of the Establishments. The conference now has 2,798 menibers (an increase of 291), 27 missionaries and local preachers, and 17 churches. , The bishop thinks Methodism has done much to quicken glorious life in the State Church. Afthough Sweden and N are under the same crown, there is less ijbesty for dissenters in the former. than inthe, latter. It is Bishop Andrews’ testimo that, though Methodism has not been legally recognized, “the interpreration of the laws*is venerally favorable to our “avork, « Oureniinisters preach, administer. the,sacraments, solem- nize matrimony, and bury the dead almost without obstruction. One progetution was attempted by a Lutheran ‘minister against one of the preachers for baptising within his parish; but the judge ,would not en- tertain the charge. In the chief centers of yopulation public ‘sentiments forbids any interference with our work, and many kind recognitions of its value are given.’ The Baptists.are less fortunate, When they en- tered Swedep upward of 25 years ago, the laws against separatists were put in active operation against tfiem, ahd they have en- dured severe persecutions from that time to he present. Their.ministers haye not yct been granted liberty to preach. The past ear a theological stndent was imprisoned 1 days for preaching against the ee tion of a parish council. But the Ba tists believe that the day of deliverance draws near. One indication of this is that in the revival last winter State Church ministers worked harmoniously with Methadists and Baptists. The latter have now 240 church- es, 13 of which were organized in 1876, 88 mecting-houses, and 11,518 members, the baptisms in 1876 numbering 1,342. The Methodist conference has 53 ministers and 59 assistants and local preachers, 125 Sun- day-schools, 5,663 members, and 31 church- es. The Baptists raised for various pur- poses the very large sum-of 106,082 rix dol- lars. : The pietistie element is much larger in the national charch in Sweden than it is in Norway.

They were im- mediately tramsferred to Wile on the Western N. C. R. R., also dressed in mourning, to be conveyed ta Stateaville for burial, near which place he has a daughter, Mrs, Hayne Davis. Tuesday morning they were brought back from Statesville and sent ta Raleigh for burial. The sudden death was such a surprise that the friends of the deceased had net considered the question of burial, and hence, we suppose, this apparent indeci- sion. The long publioservice of the Chief Justice would naturally suggest the fit- ness of his final sepulchre at the Capitol of the State. _—~—-_>o—_—--— WHAT IS THE REMEDY ? The Hon. Geo. Davis, of Wilmington, whose name has been mentioned in con- nection with the Supreme Court Bench of this State, says he cannot accept the posi- tion because he cannot live on the salary, $2,500 a year. We are an admirer of Mr. Davis, and rather regret that he is unwil- ling to serve the State for the pay allow- ed, but we presame other Eastern geutle- men, equally as well qualified, will be willing to eeeupy a position on the Bench of the Supreme Court for the salary al- lowed by law. While speaking of salaries, we suggest to tax-payers that salaried offices in the State are increasing in consequence of State money being invested in public in- stitutions, The Penitentiary at Raleigh, the Lunatie Asylum at Raleigh, the white and colored Deaf & Dumb Institutions at Raleigh, the Lunatic Asylum at Golds- boro, for colored people, the mammoth Lunatic Asylum at Morganton, the State School at Fayetteville for colored people, and the numerous other salaried State offices at Raleigh, are eating up the sub- stance of the tax-paying and working peo- ple of the State. What remedy will the people suggest ? Would it not be better to decrease the number of salaried officers and pay those we are obliged to have better wages, or would jt not be better to stop sume of the gigantic public buildings and works going on in the State and thereby stop appro- priations for the same ? If present schemes are continued and carried out, our people may expect an increase of tax instead of p decrease in these times of searvity of money, We are not opposed toa reason- able number of salaried officers and ‘‘Asy- Jums,” but they are getting a little too numerons foreconemy.—Charlotte Deme- erat. These are grave questions, indeed, and should engage the earnest attention of the people, To inereaae the number of sala- ried officers is to increase and strengthen the fetters on the limbs of the peeple. Salaried officers and (heir friends are often the most.active agente not only to in- crease the salaries but alao to increase the number of salaried officers, The State is full of men who long for office and good pay, and unless the people are watebful against thissource of eyil, their burdens vill go on constantly increasing in weight, —_———rapr- THE SPECIAL TERM 8.

The lower lobe of his right lung is congested, and the whole of the right pleura is affected and there is also an intercessal neuralgio pain affecting the entire abdomen. This being only the sec- ond stage of the malady, it is impossible to predict the issue.

There is no county in the State that would not be greatly benefited by a journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- ticlitv and pride of the section it serves; and every citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, as a means of inereass | ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the :nore beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for ts support is far less than the material good it does, it is the best invest- mentany conpty can make, Phe teord willof necessitv take part in e polities of the country, Tf it is the duty of every inan te keep himself well informed in spect to public affairs, and tu take a decided, olonanis part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully i ‘to investigate all questions of public concern, vive to his readers the faets of the same. tndersigned piedges himselt to be trne in gard. Tle will not knowingly deceive lis desdors ior the sake of party or anything else; but oy living before them the facts, as he nd rh 1 re ? mia. enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good, As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly iu accord with the views and feelings of the Demverati¢e Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the. grasp of tyr- ants and corrnptionists in high places the civil iiberty that we now enjoy. great victory as second only to’ that gained by the fathers of 1776. The danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the ecour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal tothe occasion, and gloriously resened the imperiled liberties of the people, While that party shall continne more pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it. But the main design of The L'ecord is toserve the county of Dayidson in all the waya it may be possible to advance her interests and pro- mote the welfare of her people. And to this end the undersigned desires such intimate re- lations with her citizens as shall enable him ¢o perform bis duty efficiently. The paper will be published weekly at $1 a year in advance.

NORTHERN TESTIMONY TO SOUTH- ERN INDUSTRY. | From Harper’s Weekly, Dec. 29.] Ex-Governor Straw, of New Hampshire, recently made some depreciatory state- ments in regard to Southern manufactur- ing industries.

The Commissioners for the town met in the Mayor’s office on Friday afternoon, Jan. 4th. Present, J. J. Stewart Mayor, and Commissioners Kestler, Horah, At- well, Craige, Holmes and Kluttz. City weigher reported nett proceeds of public scales for December, $6.72. Committee on Market House &c., was continued. Mr. Taylor was allowed the use of the public school house, until needed for pub- lic school. The Mayor was instructed to write to the President of the W. N.C. R. R. Co., notifiying him that the Shober bridge is in a dangerous condition and must be re- paired at once. Ordered that Messrs. Kerr, Mauney and Bailey be allowed one hundred dollars each for professional services in connec- tion with the Shaver law-suit. Messrs. Holmes and Kestler were ap- pointed to represent the Commissioners in the Gas Company. Ordered that necegaary repairs be made on Ellis street. On motion a Committee was appointod off 75,000 making a total mortality of 165,000. >> The correspondent of the Times at St. Petersburg says it is rumored that Austria and Germany opening the Dardanelles to Russian ves- have vetoed the idea of sels only.

A Lesson in Economy.—The Russian Mennoites who have settled in Nebraska have given the Yankee inhabitants of that young State a lesson they will not soon forget on the subject of cheap fuel. The Mennoities burn straw and grass, both for heating and cooking, in iron furnaces specially constructed for the purpose. Straw, the way the Russians manage it, warms a house perfectly, even in the desperate climate of Nebraska, and the furnace has to be replenished only three times a day. ape CHANDLER ON THE WAR Pata.— Wash- fugton, December 31.—Since Wm. E. Chandler published his letter, charging that the elevation of Mr. Hayes te office was the result of bargaining, first, with one party ahd then the other, we have had what purports to be denials from Secre- tary Sherman, Judge Lawrence, of Chica- go, Major Burke of New Orleans, and Henry Watterson. It ig true, however, that all these denials, except that of Wat- terson, are either evasive in terms, or ad- mit such facteas increases the probability of Chandler’s atory. Watterson was as- signed so small a part in the alleged trade, that his denial is not important. Chand- ler asserts the trath-ef all be first said, jand threatens further developments. The | The mare was | break of cholera which followed carried | work, and the pegroes can not be good mill hands ; advantages to tempt Northern labor, and the establishment of Southern factories has been afailure. Nor can the Governor |see any chance for them in the future. Ex-Governor Howard, of Rhode Island, an expert in the business, as well as a man of experience and sagacity, who has \seen that which he affirms, says of the statements of Governor Straw: “I regard these generalizations as too | broad and too ultra for the actual condi- ition of things. Take the for example cotton manufactures in Geergia are in- first quotation significant, and limited to the meagre de- mands of the resident population, aud hardly deserve notice. Whereas the fact is that the Augusta mill is one of the best- appointed, best-conducted, and best-dis- ciplined mills in the United States. It has competed successfully with New Eng- land mills in New York, in the West, and the export trade in its specialty of heavy goods. It produces sixty yards per loom per day, which is seventeen yards a day more than its principal New England com- petitor produces. It pays larger dividends than any mill in New England on plain cottens, and has done so steadily since the war. Its operatives are in the high- est degree neat, orderly, industrious, and contented. The applications for places so far exceed the actual requirements that it is not necessary to keep any spare help under pay. Though the gates are opened fifteen minutes before the bell rings, three quarters of the operatives are waiting at the gates. when they are opened, and it is a rare thing to find a loom at rest when the be!ls stop ringing. “The impression that none in the South are willing to work except negroes is an ente-bellum idea, which bas been severely modified by the inexorable logic of want. All through the South there are multi- tades of white people whe before the war would have disdained actual labor, bat who now sre thankful for any respectable employment.

NEWBERY, N. C., Dec, 27, 1877. Mr. Yates, Charlotte Democrat : Dear Sir :—I learned from Mr. Carpen- ter of the ‘“Newbernian™ (hat yd@u propos- el to pay us a visit as soon as the Cotton Mill goes into operation. It will start fully in afew daya 1 think start part to-day. I am glad you are coming Factories must be catabliched all over the South. I have taken a t deal of pains in getting posted as te the costof machin- ery, &c., &c., and will give you some points which will. be of interest. The gentleman who came out here to put up this Mill is so much pleased that he wishes to remain in the South. I got him to give me a caleulation as to machinery, &c., and as our people are almost entirely ignorant of the cost of a Mill, I think it will be of interest. ‘This gentleman only came out to put the machipery in work, they having secured a Superintendent be- I believe him to be a No. | man and perfeetlyreliable. At my suggestion he wrote the inclosed letter. You can make such use of it as you see fit.

Think There are four millious of bales of 400 pounds each, making } 600,000,000 | ponnds of cotton seed, Every ton of seed will make 32 gallons of oil and 700 pounds of oil cake. - This cake contains move natriment than is contained in 50,000,000 bushels of cern. Just think of it! that an equivalent to 50,000,000 bushels of corn is lost to the South annually. How soon we can stop Western meat from being imported as soon as this immense amount of food is utilized. The refuse oil is made into soap, being another great source of revenue. Ask any inte iligent person the amount necessary to start a Cotton Factory, and the reply is almost invariably 40 to 50,000 dollars, whereas it does not take bat little ever one-third that amount. Truly yours, WicviiaAm H, OLiver.

In 1858 four gentlemen entered their sons at a boarding school at Cokesbury, in South Carolina, They bad been for years intimate friends and were clergy- men in the Methodist Church. These boys remained at this School as room mates and classmates for two years, and entered Wofford College, standing rela- tively first, second, third and foarth. They entered a law office at Spartanbarg, and studied under the sameé chancelor. The war came on, and at s call for troeps they entered Jenkin's rifle regiment from South Carolina, and were messmates in the same company. Being near the same height they stood together as comrades fn battle in this regiment. At the second battle of Manageas, August, 1084, a shell.

Being. in a position to catch the echoes ic opinion As they come from the through the press, in more than d newspapers, Fe-have, been amazed at the earnestness and unan- imity already shown on this subject of na- tional finance. And the voice of the people which at first was only a mild protest, has already swollen into a storm of fierce in- dignation against those who have impov- erished the country by bringing on a war of the MITLIONAIRES AGAINST THE MILLION. John Sherman has been converted from the doctrine he preached ten years ago, that the 5.20 bonds should be paid in law- ful money, and gone over to the gold bul- lionist, who say that silver and green- backs will do very well for farmers and mechanics, but -vond-holders will have nothing but gold. He gives us the en- couraging assurance that the country is fast approaching hard pan, and the soon- er we reach it the better. ‘To hasten this glorious consummation he tugs away at the screw of contraction, denounces the restoration of silver as repudiation, and while every month shows many millions of loss by failures, and adds thousands to the great army of bankrupts and beggars, he smiles serenely upoh the wreck, and tells the bond-holders of New York and Londoa to fear nothing, -for they shall have even more than their pound of flesh. TUE PEOPLE AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. The month’s recess in Congress may prove the salvation of the country, for representatives everywhere have had a chance to meet’the people face to face and learn just what they think and how they feel ubout a policy that makes the rich richer and the poor poorer all the time. They will come back with such increased strength on the silver Dill as will make scorn the impotence, not to say im- pudence, of a presidential veto. The fact is the people are getting in dead earnest on this subject, and while they will not repudiate a dime of honest debt, will nev- er consent to pay more than was nomina- ted in the bond, and that was coin—not gold, but gold or silver as might suit the conveniences of the debtor. They say with the London ‘Times, and other good and disinterested authorities, that the re- storation of silver would at once create ademand for that metal, advance it to greensbacks and greensbacks to gold, thus bringing practical resumption without any law on the subject. THE WAR OF GIANTS. The forty-fifth Congress will be mem- orable in American History, not so much on account of its intellectual greatness or its high order of statesmanship, as from the fact that it must discuss and decide wany questions of the most vital interest to the whole nation. The members are dropping in by tens, dozens and scores from the different points of the compass, and next Thursday the struggle will com- mence in good earnest. On some ques- tions the two parties are split directly in half, and sectionalism, without menace or direct antagonism, will be a strong ele- ment in legislation. ‘The West and South are rapidly and unifying and crystalizing into a great political power, that will de- mand, not partiality to those sections, but even handed justice to all alike. This sectionalism will crop out to some extent on the finances and especially on the sil- ver bill, but will exhibit its greatest pow- er in efforts to advance the MATERI\L INTERESTS OF these great divisions of the world’s Repub- lic. ‘To obtain such facilities for internal and foreign commerce for twenty millions - of people, as will enable them to place their immense products in the markets of the world without sacrificing half of their value in charges for transportation, they ask for the improvement of the Mississippi and its leading tributaries, the opening of a great highway through the Southwest to the Pacitic, and the increase of our foreign trade by proper encouragement to ocean lines of steamers. The two last named objects can be achieved without subsidy, in the ordinary meaning of that term. The Texas & Pacific Company which has already constructed about 500 miles of a transcontinental line between the waters of the Mississippi and the Pa- cific, asks only the friendly recognition of government to secure the eompletion of the work. The government guarantee ot interests on their construction bonds, is four or five times secured by the terms of the bills, now before Congress. In fact the government would be kept in their debt during the progress of coustruction by the transportation of troops, mails, and telegraphic service. But the grandest feature of this measure is the great and immediate relief it would give to all the jnterests and industries of the country. The vigorous prosecution of this work would at once open a field for a million of laborers rolling mills, others in the work of construc- tion, and many thousands in developing the rich mines and fruitful farms on the line of the road. It is doubtful if any work is of greater national necessity or would bring greater benefits to the whole country than the buildiog of this railway. While imperatively demanded by the wants of the Southwest, its benefits would be distributed over the whole nation. Supplementary to this, and alike bene- ficial to all the States, is the improvement and extension of our commercial relation with the outside world. This may be achieved, and our old supremaey on the ocean restored by simple paying ocean } faails. Thé'resources and products this country have been well advertised, and millions of people in different coun- tries would be glad to trade with usand pay us fair prices for our material or art pro- need nothing but the encouragement al- luded to, to induce them to establish trade relations with all the great inarkets of the world, thas greatly increasing the aggre- gate wealth of this nation and the revenues of its government. The national com- mercial Convention to be held here on the 22d of this month, will doubtless make some good suggestions and recommenda- tions on this subject. PRESIDENTAL QUARRELL. It would take a wiser man than your correspondent to predict the outcome of the war between the President and some of his former friends. The chances are that battle will be joined upon the ve-as- sembling of Congress and fire opened all along the line. The little skirmish over the New York Custom House appointments brought temporary success to the Presi- dent’s enemies; but whether the impe- rial curls of New York’s Jovian Senator are to be adorned with the laurel wreath of final victory, remains an open question to be settled at the Capitol. If the Demo- crats stand solidly by Mr. Hayes, the fight will end in the disruption and de- moralization of the party which placed J. L. F. him in power. <> —__— The Radical wiseacres have found ont the producers of tobacco and the distillers of whisky are not affected by the burden- some tax insposed upon these articles an- der the internal revenue law. According to their philosophy, only the consumers of these articles of luxury or necessity are affected by the tax, and hardly any sane person can be deceived by the pretence of the wicked producers, and distillers that the fact is otherwise. At least this is the view one Washington luminary takes of the question. Another takes high moral ground, and expresses the opinion that mankind is in no degree benetitted by the production and consumption of either, aud that ap increase of the tax rather than a decrease in these articles would be more consistent with the public welfare. But it does not need to go far to find a reason for thia sort of talk. If the tax be taken from whisky and tobacco it will have to be put somewhere else, and whisky and tobacco are Southern and Western products and “Democratic Institutious,” as the Washington Hepublican calls them, and the Radicals are opposed to giving the relief that will impose an additional burden upoo the great Radical institution of the country— that is to say, the money interest. It is the same old story, and but another illus- tration of the way in which the money of the country seeks te make the labor of the country a slave to do its bidding.— Raleigh Observer. Democrats any -_=-— A QUEER PRESCRIPTION.—On one occa- sion, when I was ill, the General called in Dr. Hunt, his family physician. The doctor was a tall, lank, ugly man—‘‘as good as gold,” but with none of the graces that are supposed to win young ladies; yet he was married to one of the loveliest young creatures I ever knew. General Jackson accompanied him to my room, and after my pulse had been duly felt and my tongue had been duly inspected, they drew their chairs to the fire and began to talk. “Hunt,” suddenly exclaimed the President, “how came you to get sucha young and pretty wife?” “Well Vil tell you,” replied the doctor. ‘I was call to attend a lady at the convent in German- town. Her eyes were bad; she had to keep them bandaged. I eured ber with- out her ever having u distinet view of me. She left the institution, and a year after- ward she appeared here in society, a belle anda beauty. At a ball I introduced myself, without the slightest ulterior de- sign, as the physician who had restored her sight although I supposed she had never seen me. She instantly expressed the most heartfelt gratitade. It seemed so deep and genuine that I was touched. That very evening she informed me she had a severe cold, and that I must again preseribe for her. Well! it doa’t look reasonable, but I did it. I wrote my name on a slip of paper, folded it and handed it to her, telling her she must take that pre- scription. She read it and laughed. ‘It’s a bitter pill,’ she said, ‘and musf be well gilded if ever I take it.’ But whether it was bitter or whether it was gilded, we were married,” —-some in the foundries, machine shopsand | ducts. Ship builders and ship owners’ A New-Year’s Caller. Widow Van ye Interview With the P -. ios THE WIDOW. It was one bright, crisp day, the Ist of | January, 1875. The wind was from the northwest, but not in the least boister- | ous. The sky was blue, and the san shone brightly, causing the snow, which had fallen the night before, to a sufficient depth to render sieighing on the avenue possible, to sparkle brightly aud mak | weak-eyed people wink when they looked out of dodrs. A merty jingle of sleigh- bells gave a cheerful sonnd in the air, and erybody said “happy New-year” to)’ }plainly indicated sincerity and ‘ebjoy- ment. Every house on the magnificent avenue, except here and there one where a small basket hung by a black ribben on the door-bell, was open to callers, and inside were bright groups of pleasant ladies waiting amiably to 1eceive the compli- ments of the season from the gentlemen of their acquaintance. But nowhere in the whole city could a prettier picture be seen of New York life on New-year’s day than in the parlor of Widow Dusenbery. It was a fine house, with a brown-stone front and bay window, and it contained a good many fine things besides the fine lady herself, who, on this particular oc- casion, was the only visible occupant of her richly-decorated drawing-room. The widow has been fortunate in marrying a member of au old Knickerbocker family ; she adopted all his ancestors as her own, and furnished her apartments with all the quaint old furniture that old families are popularly supposed to leave to their de- scendants. Old china, old clocks, dingy looking portraits, in tarnishad gilt frames, curious cabinets, and queer glasses and faience dishes abounded in all her rooms, which she bad bought at auctions; and, if people chose to imagine that they were heirlooms brought from Holland by her ancestors when they came over with Hen- drick Hudson in the “Half Moon,” it was none of her business to correct their mis- take. But she by no means wanted to be considered old herself. Quite the trary. Herhair was scant and grey; but she wore perfectly lovely tresses, of a con- rich brown hue, which had once belonged toa peasant girl of Brittany. And, al- though it was many y ears since her cheeks had been in the least suggestive of « dam- ask rose, on this occasion they were so skillfully tinted by her own maid that no one would suspect the complexion was not her own—as, indeed, it was. But, if hercomplexicn was not real, her diamonds and laces were, and they harmonized most admirably with her dove-colored satin dress and her pearl-handled mar- about fan. Not only did the widow’s taste run in the direction of old furniture and old families, but she preferred the old relig- ous forms to the new, and she had one of the most high-priced pews in the church of St. Bonifacios, which was very high and ritualistic, and she enjoyed the rere- dos, the candles on the altar, the boy choir, the purple ehasuble of Father Lan- sing, the acolytes, the thurrible, and all the other ornamental accessories of that fashionable place of worship immensely. She believed in a personal D —, and | would not have yielded her faith on that point for any consideration. Like a good many other good people who begin the new year with good reso- lutions, the Widow Van Duseubery had resolved to turn over a new leaf and in- augurate a reform movement. She had always been charitably inclined, and had subscribed very generously to the Anti- mendicity Society ; but, owing to the fail- ure of the Rainbow Insurance Company, she had been a considerable loser, and her income was diminished to such an extent that she had been compelled to sell her coach-horses and to dismiss two of her servants und she was now trying to rub alongina quiet way, with only three maid- servants and a one-horse cab, in which she did her shopping and took her airings in the park. It was a rather humiliating condition to be placed in. Her husband had eruelly left ber with the miserable in- come of ouly $30,000; out of which she had to defray her own expeoses and inain- tain her only child, a promising boy of 22, who was then completing his educa- tion in Paris, after having visited the Holy Land and Egypt. The name of this precious youth was Balthazar. Bat she called him Balt, be- cause that was the way they called his uncle, after whom he was named and whose property he was expected to inher- it. It was for hig sake that she had de- termined to turn over a new leaf. It was time she began to save up something against Balt’s retarn ; for the poor boy had met with several little accidents, which required his overdrawing the sums he had allotted for his European expenses. Scareely had she seated herself in her parlor, with her feet resting upon a Per- sian rug, and a glowing cannel-coal fire lighting up her handsome features, than she had an opportunity for putting into practical shape her new resolution. There was a ring at the door-bell, and the widow wondered who her first caller would be, when Bridget entered the parlor and pet- e it a aa} Oh ie eee minder it was, to be sure, of the good old | times! It was a long, slender flask, cov- ered with gilt labels certifying to its be- ing a genuine product of the famous con- vent of the Chartreus; and attached to it was a card bearing the “Compliments of the season from Pilford & Co., choice family groceries, etc.” “What a pleasant thing it is to be re- membered in so delicate a manner on New-year’s day, said the widow. Char- treus was always my favorite liqueur. It) is such a religious cordial, coming direct from the bands of those holy monks at the Chartreus. What a lovely color it is !” It was, indeed, lovely, for it was the golden-colored, and not the green; and the widow said she must have a taste of it at once. * Instead of placing it on the re- freshment table, in the extension, she ordered Bridget to bring a little Japan stand and place it at her side, with a sil- ver waiter and some liqueur-glasses, 80 that, when one of her intimate friends came in, she could ask him to take a drop of the delicious cordial with her. She drank one glass of it, and found it so much to her liking that she could not well resist the temptation to try another. It was 80 fragrant, so delicate, so sweet and so smooth ! THE WIsII. Most people who knew the Widow Van Dusenbery imagined that she had every- thiug that heart could desire ; but she bad a capacious heart, whieh was capable of desiring a good many things that fortune had withheld from her. For herself she did not care. She could live, if necessary, upon the hull of a bean ; but she coald not endare the idea of anything being de- She had indulged in many ambitious schemes for the pro- motion of his happiness ; and as she sat musing upon the possibilities of the fu ture, she heard the cheerful tooting of a tin trumpet, which announced the coming of acoach driven by a number of the Four-in-hand Club. “There they go!” she exclaimed, in a half-reproachful tone. ‘But if Balt were at home he could not afford to keep a drag. He would be compelled to, amuse himself with billiards and cigars, poor boy! Itis too bad.” And a pearly tear meandered down the widow’s check,” dividing her complexion iu a very curious manner. “I wish,” she said to herself, “that I had $100,000 that I could give him as a New-year’s present, when he cones back from his European toar. It would be such a delightful suprise to him; and then he could drive a coach of his own.” “A hundred thousand dollars is not such a very unreasonable sum,” said the gentleman whom the widow just at that moment discovered by her side, but whose entrance she bad not before noticed. “] think mfself it is very reasonable,” she said, ‘and I don’t see why I could vot have it.” “You shall have it, my dear mad- am,” said the stranger. ‘Such modesty and maternal tenderness as you have manifested in your very reasonable de- sires must be rewarded.” And thereupon the stranger drew from his bosom a bundle of greeusbacks, which he reached her, on which was distinctly inscribed $100,000. “Thank you! I am overcome by your goodness,” she said, as she took the bundle and placed it on the litUe table beside the flask of Chartreuse. ‘‘Won’t you take a glass of this delicious liqueur?” she said. “I never drink,” replied the stranger, solemnly. But this is a cordial made by the monks of Chartreuse,” said the widow. “So much the worse,” said the stranger. “I hate monks and all their works.” This was said with such a bitterness of tone that the widow looked into the face of her visitor, and saw that he was a very saintly-looking personage. He had avery pale complexion, regular features, black hair and eyes, thin lips and a clean-shav- en face. He was dressed exactly in the stylo of a ritualist bigh churechman—a long-skirted, black frock coat, with a nar- row collar that fitted closely to his neck, a waist-coat which had no opening in front, anda misty black band around his throat. In truth, he looked so nearly like the Rev. Brown Stout, who sometimes of- ficiated at the altar in St. Bonifacius, that the widow felt confident he must bea truly good man, and it would be disre- spectful to him to ask where he came from. vied her darling boy. ishly exclaimed ; ‘It’s only a beggar boy, “Tt is a favorite maxim of mine,” said pu tt , 2. 7 7 @ took out another bandle, just like the: ‘first one, which he placed in the widow’s’ lap. “Is there anything else you desire?” “What a simpleton I was,” said the wid- ow to herself, “to make such 'a moderate demand!” And, as she looked at the two bundles of greenbacks, they really seem- ed hardly worth having. ‘Since you are so very kind,” replied the widow, ‘“‘may I be so bold as to ask you to make up the sum to five hundred thousand ? It will be such a delightful surprise ‘to Balt when he comes home to find such a fortune at his disposal. I hope you will not think me unreasonable.” “T beg you will make no apologies, my dear madam,” said the stranger, while a grim smile seemed to flicker across his pale features. ‘Anything may be for- given to a mother’s love. Your desire shall’ be gratified.” The stranger there- upon placed another but larger bundle of greenbacks upon her lap, making up the desired sum. She clutched at them eagerly; but hardly had she got them in her posession than she felt chagrined at her mistake in not demanding more. [TO BE CONTINUED.] —_——__ So HAYES STANDING FIRM. His Position Defined by Himself—He will Exhaust Ilis Constitutional Powers to Promote Reform. (From the Washington Post of Thursday.) While Mr. Hayes declines to be inter- viewed in regular form upon any public topic, he docs not hesitate to express his views to those who call upon him in a personal way. He deprecates the efforts which are being made in various quarters to prolong popular aggitation and per- petuate sectional feeling, not because of its reflection upon him or his motives, but because it tends to exasperate the people of both sections and thus to prevent that clear understanding between the North and South which is essential to the resto- ration of perfect unity of patriotic senti- ment. He expresses the belief, however, that the utterances of those who, in their capacity of managing politicians, are seek- ing to stir up strife, will not find among the masses of the Northern people any considerable response; that when the Congressional campaign comes on it will be found that the people are no longer excitable over these topics, and that the managing politicians, finding no material to work upon, will soon abandon their anti-Southern programme. As for other matters of publie policy, Mr. Hayes remarks that he has seen no cause to reconsider any action of the past, generally speaking, and no reasou to mod- ify any purposes which he may have formed or announced at any previous pe- ried of his administration. Without re- ferriug specifically to the New York ap- poiutments, but evidently having them in mind he observed that he had not been moved by the action of the Senate either to abate his desire of carrying out the policy generally known as civil service reform, or to despair of final success in the selection ‘of instramentalities to that end. He would neither deny nor affirm the statement that had been made in the press relative to his design of greeting Congress next week with a special mes- sage on that subject, but it was true that he intended to exhaust his constitutional powers in the premotion of such reforms. The most remarkable thing that he said was that no plea or remonstrance based upon purely partisan considerations would have avy weight with him, no matter by whom it might be made; and that he at- tached importance to those representa- tions only which were put upon the ground of the general public welfare. He intimated that there had been of late a cessation of party appeal to him, which was a relief, because his love for the name of Republiean and bis reverence for the early traditions of his party was sostrong that it was not easy or pleasant to him to resist appeals made for their sake, partic- ularly when such appeals came from men whom he had always delighted to honor. But the responsibilities of his position placed duty above personal feelings and in his efforts to keep the faith of his in- augural with the whole people, he should not hesitate to proceed contrary to the advice of individuals, however dear they might be to him personally, whenever it seemed to him and his constitutional ad- visers—or rather to the collective judg- ment of his administration—that such ad- vies was contrary to the letter and ‘spirit of the promises he had made to the coun- | try. t force.” spect all the rights with which the laws have invested you.” “This,” said he, “I always have done and always shall do, and that clieerfully.” He then made a very sensible speech, entering heartily. into the spirit of the occasion and giving the colored fulks some sound advice. That Governor Vance is not the Bourbon: that he is painted was.attested by the remarks of the colored orator of the day, who ac- corded him fall and special praise for what his administration had done for the promotion of the interests of the colored race. He particularly referred to the es- tablishment of a normal school for the in- struction of negro teachers and to the geneal encouragement of the cause of pop- ular edueation. In the ten years that they had control of the State the carpet- baggers did absolutely nothing in this direction. Governor Vance may have a long tongue, but he is making a clean gubernatorial record, and thé obstruction- ists must look elsewhere for proofs of Southern disloyalty. —--—_~+—>+ -——--—_—— DEATH OF KING VICTOR EMMANUEL. Prince Humbert Proclaimed King of Itaty. Loxpox, Jan. 9.—The King of Italy died at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon.

In the afternoon, sacraments were administered to King-Victor Emmanuel, who received the Priest with great serenity. The King then summoned Prince Humbert, the heir apparient, and his wife Princess Margher- tia, to his bedside, with whom he convers- ed a few moments; afterwards the miliary eruption increased. The King then sum- moned all those who were in the habit of approaching him. He addressed to every one present a few words, and a few mo- ments after, died. The news of his death soon spread through the city, and caused great emotion among the people. All the shops were closed. Prince Humbert was proclaimed King of Italy. He confirmed the present Min- isters in their posts. ——-- -— po -- — ——— SOMETHING MISSING. A rich money-lender—a Jew, of course —lost his purse at one of the Parish rail- way stations, just as he was on the point of starting for the United States, whither he was compelled to go on most impor- tant pressing business. The purse con- tained about £1,000 in notes and gold. On his return, some six weeks afterward, he learned that the purse had been found, and was deposited at the Lost Property Office. He went there, and the purse was handed to him. With a trembling hand and his heart beating with joy he opened it, and carefully examined the contents. “Pardon me,” he said, when he had finished counting, ‘‘there’s something mis- sing.” “T believe not,” replied the official. “What is it ?” “Vatisit!

PROSPECTUS OF The Davidson Record, The Davidson Reeord, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public went of tue business mea and of the interests of the county. The time has come when almost every county finds it, indispensable to have a public journal of its own to represent its, inter- estsin the various aff:irs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would ng be greatly benefited by a journal within its: bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- liality and pride of the section it server; and every citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, as a means of iacreas- ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad. The stronger it becomes the :nore beneficial it will prove; and. as the money required for its support is far less than the material good it does, it is the best ‘invest- ment any county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it isthe duty of every man to keep himself well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to his readeis the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be trne in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general'good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings ofthe Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the effurts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES! Weare the first to offer ~ First-Class Sewing Machines, at_prices within the roach of all.

Brown married a couple of some pecuniary stand- ing, for which be expected to feeeive, at) least, some compensation. At the time | of the marriage the license was handed to him folded, with the names of the parties on the back. The wedding all passed over, and not a word said about any fee. The minister returned home with the sup- poe that he had made another water- raul. But, more than two weeks after, when the attached certificate was to be filled the license was opened and a beau- tiful V found inside. Mr. Brown is mueh obliged; and affirms that all such parties shall be furnished with a beautiful guilt marriage certificate. He would not tare to be surprised again, —_— This was better fare than a certain Prosbyterian minister we wot of had for rendering a similar serviee. He received his fee in the dark, just before mount- ing his horse to go home. It was a coin, and he dropped it into his pocket without knowing its value, The bride- greom was a dressy, splurging fellow, of some considerable standing, and the par- son had no doubt he had done a elever thing for him. His fingers touched the piece next morning and he hauled it out to inspect it, and found a silver quarter. —— —- -- ape — - —- A Lower Class of Government Bonds.— It is now urged in financial circles that the government, in order to secure a wide distribution of its bends in the hands of most thrifty citizens in all parts of the country, and as a measure of secirity for the people themselves, issue bonds bear- ing four or five per cent. interest, and of small denominations, ranging from $25 This idea was ove of the most judicious features of the late message of Mr. Hayes. A very large amount of bonds would svon be absorbed through this schenie, besides giving toa numerous class. of citizens an interest in the stability of the government hitherto unknown to them.—Charlotte Observer. -_ —-—>-—_ - ——_ New York cigar makers are on another a — ee é as, Ft I i * . tient face of our steed toward the booming creek which, swollen with weeks of raing was rushing in furious swirls out frem un- der Capt. ——'s As Cesar on the banks of the Rubicon so steed on the brink of this wrathful torrent.

We were present in Raleigh, during the Senatoral struggle of 1872, and | tween the Republican members of the Legislature and Judge Merrimon. There | were leaders of the Republican party who | influence to have the Republican vote cast for him. Republicans voted against Gov. ance becanse they thought by so doing they could divide aod distract the Democratic party. They expected uo other benefits than this. Therefore, we regret that Senator Merrimon should be de- nounced as av ingrate when be was elect- ed without any effort on his part. So far as gratitude is concerned, we know that Senator Merrimon acknolwedges that he owes every man that voted for him for Senator, a debt of personal gratitude, which heis ready and anxioas to discharge whenever a fit opportunity presents itself to do so. Senator Merrimon is a part of North Carolina. So far as his reputation and character as a public man representing his State is concerned, that which tends to destroy standing as Senator, does an injury to the State. While the Senator is not of onr political faith, we feel it our duty to uphold bim as far as we can, and thus enable him to be of all service possi- ble to his State and people. A man of greater purity of character than Jadge Merrimon, has never represented North Carolina in any public capacity. Being a self-made man, aud having risen to his present high position by his own exertions, we should regret the occurence of any thing tending to impair his usefulness as a man and Senawr. It is not probable that the Republican members of the next Legislature will be called upon to decide the contest for Sena- tor. Ifthere should be no chance of elect- ing a Republican, it will be the impera- tive duty of the Republiean members to cast their votes for the man who can be of the most service to the State without regard to party.—Raleigh Register, —<>o———— Con.

Accordingly, : : yesterday morning was selected as the | we know that no bargain was made be-| tine for hearing the argament in the case. At the hour of 10 a. M., she made her appearance in the Court room, accompan- ied by Hon. A. W. Tourgee, her counsel, | preferred Gov. Vance, and used all their | who began the argument of the case be- fore the Judges. In the course of his speech, which lasted about an hour and a half, he took the following grounds in fa- vor of permission of examination beiug granted: The Statate does not debar women from practicing the legal profes- sion, as the “person” is used, nor is the sex anywhere specified. The Court had so extended the meaning of the word “person” as to include colored people, when at the time the statute became a law it was never contemplated that its provisions could or would be so construed. The word “person” is always used to designate persons appointed administra- tors or executors. The law farther says that any persons who may have obtained license to practice in other States, shall, on producing such license, be permitted to practice in our courts, 80 a woman ad- mitted into the profession in one of those States, would of course be reccived here ; we could not debary her. Five States ad- mit females to practice by statute, three by construction of a law similar to ours, while in the District of Columbia and in nearly or perhaps all of the Federal Courts in the Nerthwest they have the same rights in this respect as are accorded to men. At the same time of the enactment of the statute of this State on this subject, the Legislature never thought of a wo- man’s making application for admission into the profession, but in the great pro- gress of events woman’s sphere has _ be- come so extended thaf the sex -is now represented in almost all the professions. In the United States one woman is a presi- dent of a bank, while two banks have lady cashiers. Many women have risen to eminence in the profession of medicine, and gt this moment one of them is a mem- ber of the Medical Society of this State. Continuing his remarks he referred to the wife of Karl Russell, who, when that no- bleman was arraigned on a charge of trea- son, prepared his defence. Citing other instances of her ability to master the in- trieaciea of the law, he concluded by as- serting that no man can give any reason why a woman cannot undertake any hon- est work for her suppert. After this hearing of the case, the Court decided to permit the examination of the lady applieant, and this at onee began. Her answers to all the questions pro- 17—Pinkney Hall et al v J W Hall, et al.4 “ “a oe te ““ ““ “ “ “ “ce «~ ‘ “ “ ‘ “ a - ‘ “ No “ SATURDAY, Jaxuany, 1, 1878. Haynes, Adm’r and others.

The result lias been that Druggists in every town and village in the United States are recommending it to their cus- tomers. Go to your Druggist, and ask what they know about it.

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 médicine that cures dys- peysia and liver conrplaint.

A light anew had fallen, and the boys of L———- desired to make the most of it; and as it was too dry for snow-balling, and not deep enough for coasting, they thought it would do very well to make tracks. Near by there was a large meadow, and it wes propesed that they should go to a tree which stood near the centre of the meadow, and that each one should start from the tree to the boundries of the meapew. The praposition was assented to, and they were soon at thetree. They ranged themselves around the tree with their backs toward it, and started, each one retracing his steps to the tree. After they had returned, they each Joaked back to see how straight the tracks were. “Whose is the straightest ?” said James Allison ta Thomas Sanders, who was first at the tree, “Henry Armstrong’s is the only one that is straight at all,” said Thomas. “Why,” suid Jacob Small, “how could we all contrive to go so crooked when the meadow is so smooth, and nothing to turn us out af the way 1” ‘(How happened you to go so straight, Henry ?” said Thomas, “TJ fixed my eye on that tall pine tree on the hill yonder, and never looked away from it till I reached the fence,” answer- ed Henry, “J went as straight as I could without Jooking at anything but the ground,” said James, “So did I,” said another, “So did I,” replied several voices at once, It appeared that no one but Heury a aimed at a particular object. They attempted to go straight without any definite aim, but they failed. Men cannot succeed in anything good without adefinite aim, General purposes, general resolutions, will not avail. Yeu must do as Henry did; fix upon something distinct and definite as an object, and go steadily toward it. If you wish to be Christ-like look at Him, and you will by so doing learn to copy His ways and follow His example, ‘Ever keeping your eye fixed upon the “mark,” press forward that you may obtain the prize at the end, which is eternal life. Reader, if you have never given your heayt to Jesus, never followed him, I beg of you to seek His mercy and forgiveness before it is too late, Seek him without delay, Por now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation,”—W, H, Tenney, in the Yonng Pilgrim. a A WORD TO THE BOYS, When the Duke of Wellington was sick, .. the last thing he took was a liltle tea. On his servant's handing it to him in a saucer, and asking him if he would have it, the Duke replied. “Yes if you pleqse.” Theae were his jast words. How much kindness and courteay js expressed by them? He who commanded the greatest armies in Europe, who was loug accus- tomed to the tone of anthority, did not despise or overlook the smal! conrtesies of life. Ah, how many boysde, Whata rude tone of command they often use to their little brothers and sisters, and some- times to their mothers. This is ill-bred ‘and insolent, It shows a coarse nature and a hard heart, Jn all your home-talk, remember, “If you please.” Among your don’t forget, “If you please.” To alé who wait upon or serve you, be- lieve that “if you please” will make you better served than all the cross or order- ‘jug words in the whole dictionary.

Good-day.” So much far the verb “to break.” or HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN. ‘You see I am a gentleman !” said Wil) Thompseu. “I will not take an insalt.” And the fellow strutted gp and down in a rage. He had been throwing stones at Peter Jones, and he thought that iis an- ger proved him te be a gentleman. “If you want to be a gentleman, I should think you would be a gentle boy first,” said his teacher, ‘Gentlemen do not throw stones at their neighbors. Peter Jones did not threw stones at you, and I think he is mach more likely to prove a gentleman.” “But he has got patches on his knees,” said Will. “Bad pantaloens do vot keep a boy from being a gentleman,” said his teacher, ‘but a bad temper does. Now, William, if you want to be a gentleman, you must first be a gentle boy.” A little further on, the teacher met Peter Jones. Some stones had hit him, and he was hurt by them. “Well, Peter, what is the matter be- tween you and Will this morning ?” asked the teacher. “IT was throwing a ball at one of the boys, in play, sir, and it missed him and hit Will Thompson’s dog.” “Then when he threw stones at you, why did you nat throw back.” ‘Because, sir, mother says that to be a gentleman, I must be a gentile boy; and I thought it best to keep out of his way till he covled off a little.” The teachey walked on, but kept the boys in mind. He lived to sec Will Thompson a rowdy, and Peter Jones a gentleman, loved and respected by all.— Selected. No prepe- ee ag SILENT MEN, Washington never made a speech. Jy the zenith of his fame he once attempted it, failed, and gnve it up confused and abashed. In framing the constitution of the United States the lubor was almost wholly performed in committee of the Whole, of which George Washington was the chairman; but he made two speeches during the convention, ofa very few words each. The convention, however, acknowl- edged the master spirit, and historians affirm that, had it not been for his per- songl popularity, and the thirty words of his first speech pronouncing it the best that could be united upon, the Constitu- tion would have been rejected by the people.—Thomas Jefferson, neyer made a speech. He couldn't do it. Napoleon, whose executive ability is almost without a parallel, said that his greatest difficulty was in finding men of deeds rather than words.— When asked how he maintained his influence over his superiors in age and experience when commander-in-chief of an army in Italy, he said, by reserve, The greatness of a man is not measured by the length of his speeches and their number. ee The reception that the’ great American explorer, Henry M. Stanley, met with at Cario, Egypt, was extremely enthusiastic and imposing. A splendid banquet was given in his honor, and the Khedive be- stowed upon him some handsome decora- tions, gecompanied with a little speech in in which he said: “To reward such mag- nificent efforts as you have made in the name of humanity, science and civiliza- tion, I present you a seuvenir of this moat interesting interview.” In addition to the Grand Cross of the Medjidie, the Khedive presented him with a decoration of another grade, which enables Mr. Stan- ley to take the title of Grand Officer of the Order of the Medjidie. At the Khedival Geographical Society a grand reception was also extended him, Many distinguished persons were present, and the savans in discussing his discover- ies were profuse in their compliments,— Wil, Star, “Oh, yes, T remember; break up housb- |¥* nt the pardon ofthe mail eabber.

The pork men of Louisville are baving a hard time of it. They have been feed- jng large numbers of hogs, while awaiting the return of cold weather, and still there is but little change in the temperature. The expense of feeding these avimals is large, and is bearing heavily on some of the packers.

Yet I did not see the results I desired till I had taken it faithfully for eo more than a year, when the dilficulty in the was cured; and for nine months I have enjoyed the best of bealth. I have in that time gained twenty-five pounds of flesh, being heavier than ever Defore in my life, and I was never more abie to perform labor than now.

It was situated in a fertile and sunny province which centaries before had subnritted to the conquering arms of the Roman Em- pire. This proviace had since then often suffered severely from the tumultuous irruptions of the Barbarians, those impla- cable enemies ilization. Butaporer far mere te feared now threaten Orleans. Attila with a count- ] sav lowers ‘encom- gates reate’ Yuin on its ya ramparts. "The fury of Gath and Babdal-was-harmless éompared to the mereiless eruelty of the Hunnish ‘king 28 pread terror and. destrpetion wher- ine, heres ‘and revenpefit as Zingar, he had already laid waste the fairest provinces and reduced to a heap of deso- lation the most beautiful cities of the Em- pire. To add to the terror of his name it was confidently believed that his power was equal to his cruelty, and rapacity. His dominions stretched from the Danube to the Balga, to the confines both of the Eastern and Western empires. Innumer- able tribes and provinces had yielded to his victorious arms, and were bound to him by the faith of treaties or the power of conquest. And now, with a countless horde, inclading many of the most fierce and warlike nations, he had marched from the centre of his dominions to the confines of Gual and laid in ruins the fairest por- tion of that suuny region. At length wishing to gain a position which should command the passage of the Loire, he drew up his savageand formidable legions before the gates of Orleans. The inhabi- tants though almost destitute of succor prepared for a vigorous resistance. ‘The name of Attila, however dreaded, did not deprive them of the courage requisite to defy that power which had hitherto seem- ed invincible, them of their own destruction should ; their implacable enemy succeed in his} present purposes, That city bad lately been laid in fuins and the lonely shrine of St. Stephens alone marked the site of the once proud and flourishing town of Metz. For many days the seige of Or- leans continned. Without hope of assist- ance the inhabitants trusted to their owu courage and to the power of the nations who bad suid. that, the race is net always to the swift nor the battle to the God of strong. Every man capable of bearing arms sprung to the rescue, and the ancient bishop bearivg before him the people to remain faithful, to stand up with courage before the heathen host trom which the Almighty, in due time would send them deliverance. But the days passed slowly away and no succor came from either man or the Lord of hosts. A foe more terrible even than Attila now began to press them within thecity. Each their scanty supply of food diminished | until gaunt hanger stalked through all the streets and slew more victims even than the sword of the Hun. walls of the city began to give way. The battering rams of the enemy had shaken them in many places, and unless speedily relieved, Orleans must falla prey to the merciless victer. courage, the most determined resolution will sometimes give way when opposed by equal valor aid superior strength. The inhabitants beheld their approaching rain with a feeling of terror impossible to describe. The men stand té their arms however, while the helpless crowd of wo- men and children and aged men fall pros- trate in the streets beseeching the favor and protection of the God of the Chris- tians. Already the heathen army has en- tered the very suburbs.of the city. The work of slaugther and rapine has begun | aid of logwood. and the trembling defenceless fugitives from without are pressing towards the gates of Orleans and erying for refuge from the merciless fury of the Hun. Despair seizes the stoutest hearts and many re- sign themselves to the fate they had vain- ly striven to avert, In this moment of suspense and horror there was one whose confidence remained unshaken, who sitiil believed that the Almighty would yet send succor and deliverance to the trem- bling captives who supplicated his favor. He earnestly exhorted the people to wait in hope and patience for the salvation of the Lord. Upon the ramparts of the city were placed a sentry, sent thither by this Christian Bishop. All day they stood there gazing fixedly into the far horizon to catch the faintest sign of coming relief. It was new the close of evening and they should have to return to the trem- bling, eager crowd below with no word of cheer or encouragement. But lo! as sick with hope deferred they turned to depart, a strange object attracted their sight. In the far distant edge of the horizon, almost beyond the range of human vision, was a long dark line that seemed to be nmioving. Breathless with expectancy they gazed while it drew nearer, still nearer and un- til it was ne Jo just a k upon the distant ray, hate tbh ieee in veaitial array and with banners floating in the evening air. It proved to be the confed- erate army of Goths and Romans hasten- ing to the relief of Orleans. The joyful news flew rapidly through the city. “It is the aid of God! It is the aid of God!” The fate of Metz warned | | fire his cold and lifeless heart and goad | him forward in the pursuit of fame and Then the} The most undoubted | . mS / was rapid and unchecked; holy symbols of religion, exhorted the | I : cried the good Bishop, and the glad shout was taken up and echoed and re-echoed by every tongue. , Orleans was immedi- | } as said, the wid-| ately invested, and Attila, raising the seige, drew up his forees upon the plains of Chalons. Here in a short time was fought the memorable battle between the civilization and christianity of the west and the wnlettered savagery and super- stition of the east. Bat let us return to Orleans. In the host of Theodorie was a young barbarian whose merit had elevated iim to an hon- orable station in the military service.

It eed At of ~siiee wb Dated si aug at ones tile low!: o-bin S Hilderi This venerable man was seated on x door-step with head bowed in the attitade of deepest dejection. A feeling of indig- nation seized the heart of the wild war- rior as he beheld the abject condition of ‘Theudelinda’s father. Angrily he re- proached him for his sorrow amidst the universal joy at the deliverance of Or- leans. To these reproaches the aged man made no reply but bending his head un- til it .rested upon his knees he began weeping tears. of bitterest anguish. A vague suspicion now seized Odoacer, and in a changed voice he inquired news of Theudelinda. ‘Alas! I kuew not her fate,” replied Hilderic, mournfully. “She was sojourning in Metz when the Merei- less Attila invaded our country and I have cause to believe that she shared the fate of its miserable inhabitants.” This conjecture proved correct and no tidings of the young girl ever reached the «ar of of the grief-stricken parent or the heart broken lover. Hilderic died soon after, and Odoacer never recovered from the loss of his beloved Theudelinda. Fer many years he wandered 4 gloomy, half- naked vage through the densest wilds of Panndwia. Then ambition began to | position. He cast his eyes over the trou- bled seene of Roman politics and believed that in the tumult of faction and the dis- cord of rulers he might find ample oppor- tunities to exercise his talents and to win success. In this resolution be was strength- eped by the exhortations of an aged monk to whom the superstition of the times at- tribated the power of working miracles and predicting future events. So thus encouraged he followed the high road to Rome and to destiny. there nor was his ambition satisfied until he had grasped the sceptre of royalty and the acclama- tions of the millions proclaimed him king of Italy.

Mirror thus talks over the good old times : The first settlers of Bonlder came here in 1858. In 1859 quite a number came, and some sixty log houses were erected be- fore 1860 stepped in. Of these log houses but few remain. Christmas, 1859, saw a jevial crowd of dancers in ove of these houses, windowless, we believe, at that time. The hardy pioneers were after fun and had it. On the night in question, about two hundred sons of toil and seek- ers of guld and their fortunes, and seven- teen ladies had assembled at the above named pluce to partake of a frontier terpsichorean. Marinus G. Smith was then one of the beaus of the town and his dress-suit consisted of pants made out of seamless sacks, and colored blue by the A lady now living in town had an elegant dress made out of flour sacks, also colored by the aid of log- wood. There were few white shirts in the neighborhood then, most of the pio- neers wearing woolen flannel oves. A man with a white shirt on was in style, and could dance with his coat off; a man without any would wear a coat buttoned up to the neck. Coats for dancing pur- poses did not seem to be any too numer- ous, consequently the pioneers helped each other out. For instance, Alf. Nichols had six white shirts, which were all at that ball, and the coats of those six white- shirted fellows went to cover the backs ot some one else. When one fellow had a dance he world lend his coat to another, and then his turn would come, and so the white shirts and long coats were dancing all night, and went around among the two hundred men. There were no wall flow- ers among the seventeen ladies. But they say the. supper for the oecasion was a grand affair. Washboilers fall of coffee, great hunks of blacktailed deer, jack rab- bits, fish, game, and delecacies brought from the State in cans, all went. to make up a glorious supper—one that the par- takers would like to see repeated. There may not have been much style, but the seamless sacks and flour bags saw a8 much pure enjoyment as does the finest and gaudiest attire of to-day. Envy makes us see what will serve to ‘aceise others, and not perceive ow. “I know a good many millionaires, and I have always thought it wank b jo poe 2 combenrpenteeses 4 ee s re | eS aa 7+ S oh “Your wishes are not to be denied,” said the munificent visitor. ‘Here is the sum you ask for!” and, without more ado, he plumped a bandle of greenbacks into her lap, which she seized upon with as much avidity as ahungry cur would snap ata'bone. But, strangely enough, the possession of this immense sum only produced a feeling of disappointment and regret, which must have reflected on her face, for the stranger exclaimed, with astonishment : “What! does not that sat- isfy you?” “T don’t like to appear ungratefal,” said the widow ; “but, after all, $1,000,000 is bat a small matter, compared with the fortunes of some of the mere upstarts that live on theayenue. I couldn’t even afford to move further up town on such a sum ; and I don’t think that Balt could keep a yacht on it. If it were only $10,000,000, new, I should be entirely satisfied.” The stranger fairly jumped in his sent when he heard the exorbitant demand. “Ten millions of dollars!” he exclaimed, ny you!” and he smiled sweetly, the widow thought, as he piled up the great bundles of greenbacks before her. The widow breathed short for a mo- ment; and then, as the thought of all the good she might do if she only had a little more, and of the respect that would be paid to Balt when he should come back, and of the magnificent white-marble house she would like to build on Murry hill, of the charitable institutions she would en- dow, of the dinner parties she would give, and of the diamonds she might purchase —as the thought of these things flashed upen her mind, she had a feeling of un- happiness which she had never ex- perienced before. “You are still unsatisfied,” said the stranger, impatiently. “Why did you not say at first what you wished? Why detain me all this while, when I have so many other calls to make, this morning ? Let me know at once the limit of your wishes, that I may gratify them and be done with it.” “Well, then,” said the widow, growing bolder as he spoke, “I do not think it would be at all beyond the bounds of a moderate ambition if I should say that I will be entirely content with a hundred millions. Properly invested, by the ad- vice of my brokers in Exchange place I think it would yield me an income of ten millious a year; and with that sum Balt and I could manage to rub along without help from anybody.” “The demand is preposterous, madam, But I cannot deny you!” said the stran- ger, with a graver expression than he had yet shown. And instantly the whole room was filled with bundles of green- backs. They were stacked up against the walls and under the tables, and heap- ed upon the floor in every direction. And the widow looked around upon the treas- ure with a proud and lofty feeling, in which there was hardly a tinge of sel- fishness, for she thought only of the bene- fit that her darling son would derive from it. Don’t call it selfishness. She was purely womanly. “I must now mation the condition upon which this vast sum shall be yours,” said the stranger. “The condition !” exclaimed the widow, looking at him reproachfully. ‘1 imag- ined it was all mine already.” “Wealth has its responsibilities,” said the stranger, ‘‘and you surely could not expect to have a huudred millions of dol- lars and do nothing for it. But the con- dition on which this great treasure shall be left with you is very light. It is only that you shall commit a murder.” “Horror!” exclaimed the widow. can never do it.” ‘Very well, then, said the stranger. “I have nothing more tosay.” And he commenced.putting the greeanbacks into his bosom. And as the widow watched the lessening heaps she cried out: ‘Stop! Stop!” The stranger stayed his hand, and the bundles of greenbacks were as numerous as before. They fell all around her like flakes of snow. “How ean I sully my hand and my con- science by committing a murder?” said the widow, “Why, my dear madam,” said the stranger, “your squeamishness is absurd. Do you not know that wealth of all kinds represents toil, and suffering, and agony, and murder? The jewels that sparkle in your ears were ouly obtained by the sac- rifice of many lives, and you do not en- “ey 4. There was a lond crash. ‘It is monstrous !” However, I cannot de- |. might. As.she did s0, the stranger glane- ed at her with a fearful grin. The wall of the apartment suddenly fell away like a mist, and she saw the prostrate form of a young man lying beneath a palm tree, with the arrow lodged in his breast. And she heard him exclaim, in fuint. aceents, as the life-blood flowed from his wound; “Oh ! mother, mother !” She shrieked: “I have murdered my dear Balt!” The terrible vision disappeared. The stranger was gone. There was not a scrap of a green- back to be seen, while Bridget rushed into the parlor, excluiming: “For dear sakes! What in the world is the mat- ter?” . “Did anybody go out, just now?” said Mrs. Van Dusenbery, rabbing her eyes. ‘Not a soul has been inside the house,” said Bridget. “Did you see any bundles of greenbacks lying about ?” asked the widow. “Nota rag,” said Bridget. ‘‘And don’t you smell any brimstone ?” asked the widow. “Not a ha’porth,” replied Bridget, ‘‘ex- cept the parlor-matecbes.” “But who did this?” she asked, as she pointed at the little japanned table, that was over-turn- ed, while the glasses were broken and the flask of Chartreuse was pouring itself out ina golden stream upon the Moquette earpet. “It was the personal D——himeelf?” said the widow, putting her hand upon her heart, which beat violently. “I see itall! O! I have had such an exper- icnee.” THE RESULT. “Didn’t you say there wus a beggar- boy who came to the door, just now, Bridget ?” asked the widow. “I did, marm, replied Bridget ; “and he is standing on the sidewalk, now, cry- ing.” ‘*Poor little fellow !” said the widow, as she wiped a tear from hereyes. “Go call him in.” “Call in a beggar!” exclaimed Bridget, lifting up her hands in amazement. “Call in a beggar-boy !” ‘ “Yes, Callhimin. What if he is a beggar boy? He is somebody's son. He is the dear Balt of some fond o)d mother. Let me see him. I must do something for somebody.” Iu a few minutes Bridget pushed into the presence of the widow one of the worst-clad little ruffians she had ever be- held. ‘‘Here he is,” said Bridget. “Hé is a beauty for such a parlor as ‘this, I don’t think!” with scornful emphasis on+ her words. ‘(He is a human being,” said the widow, scanning his ragged garments pityingly. “T hain’t been doin’ nothin’,” said the boy, timidly. “You need make no apologies, my poor child,” said the widow. “Pray what is your name ?” “Me name is Dinnis,” said the beggar. “Poor boy! And why did your mother let you come out in such a plight, such a day as this?” said the widow, as she wip- ed a tear from lier eye. “Me mother has been sent up to the Island for thirty days,” said Dennis, hang- ing his head and blushing. “And she couldn’t help it.” . “Dear! dear! dear!” exclaimed the widow, tenderly. “It wasn’t no fault of me mether’s,” said Dennis, holding his head up again. “Jt was all along of that Mrs. Sallivan, who pulled me mother’s hair.” “That's right. Always speak up for your mother, my child,” said the widow. “Now give me my purse, Bridget.” And Mrs. Van Dusenbery, utterly dis- regarding the new leaf she had turned over but a few moments before, on which was recorded a resolution not to give anything to anybody again, actually counted out five new silver balf-dollars, which she threw into the boy’s hat, think- ing, as sbe did it, how much more satis- factory it was to give to the needy than to receive presents from the rich. “Ts this for me?” asked the boy, open- ing his hazel eyes with wonder. “It is all for you,” said the widow, and I wish there was more of it. But I am afraid it would do no good if Lon had. more.” The boy started to run; bat Bridget what may justify. joys luxury but at the cost of some- caught him by his carly red hair, and said : cd she didn’t think that the tempter conld ever have succeeded in persuading her to throw that arrow if he had not: looked so whom she revered so highly. “That is always the’ way. with the P. D.,” said Father Lansing. “He. always takes the most pleasing forms when he intends to rain a human soul, as he did when he tempted Saint. Anthony in the guise of a lovely woman.” It may be of some interest to the gener- al public to know that the widow and her son Balt live very quietly ‘in their own house on the avenue, and contrive to rub alohg on their limited income of $30,- 000 a year. She has become renowned for her charities, and he enjoys the reputa- tion of an accomplished billiard ‘player; but he hus hot been able to join the Four- in-hand Coaching Cla. On his way from his travels he was asked by the Rev. Dr. Brown Stout what had impressed him most in the Holy Land. ‘To which he re- plied: ““Flcas.”—Independent. ee LOVELY WOMAN AND HER WAYS. The following few remarks on some of the liabits of the gentler sex we clip from the Louisville Courier Journal. To say that the writer of the article is not level- headed is to deny our belief in all pro- priety and elegance : . “It is indeed a funny and ridiculous sight to see a lovely woman stop at a street crossing, give her. body ‘a fearful twist, stoop low and reach backward and downward nearly to her heels, and grab from forty to fifty pounds of dress tail, full of dirt and dust, shake it five or six times, like a buzzard fixing its wings to fly, then hobble across the street like a lame tur- key to the other side, there to ‘let go,” turn round four or five times, and start off like a stern-wheel boat in a storm. Such fantastic, fashionable freaks of folly as we see sometimes upon our streets are certainly very anbecoming to all that is modest, beautiful and lovely in woman. Think of it. The idea of a fashionably dressed blonde or brunette stopping dead still upon the street, kick out and up like.a cow at an army of loose hornets, grab her clothes in herhand, and with a body bent, looking out from under a lit- tle hat perched upon one side‘of the head, making a public exhibition of her heels and hose as she skirts across the street like an ostrich on @ run, an exact.capy in style and dress of the woman who rides a spotted horse in a circus and jumps through a paper balloon for $15 a week and applause. Look at the modestly dressed, sweet faced, humble girl, walk- homeward, having been on a mission for her mother, perhaps. No foolishness about her. She lives, dresses, acts and looks plain. She@trd fashion are strang- ers. Loafers and blackguards don't stare at her, and make all kinds of remarks about her. No! She commands respect by her dress and conduct upon the public streets. See her in spotless white, look- ing like an angel, Keeling at the bedside with her face.and eyes lifted heavenward, and iu accents low and sweet, breathing from her pure lips the language of her soul in hamble prayer: “Oar father who art in heaven.” Angels put their ears to the twinkling stars and listen to her pray- ers. ‘The one a meek, humble, Christian young woman, whose affections are fixed on things above the foibles and _fol- lies of a fashionable world—whose very soul pants fur the light and love of.a ‘Shome over there.” The other, a thiu- visaged, ‘‘made-up” woman of @ fashiona- ible world, whose heart and soul is. en- gulfed in the great whirlpool of smock happiness and folly ; who never looks in the Bible one-hundredth part as much as she does a looking-glass, whose. whole idea of life is to “have fun with the boys” until she’s forty, and then take the chance of fooling some old man into “baying her,” if she.can. The one breathes her prayer and lies down on her downy bed to dream of heaven and the angels. The otber comes ont of the parlor ata late hour, like a tired and hungry coach-horse, rushes to the pantry, grabs a pickle in one hand and a cold hambone in the other; then to her room. She swings her “harness” over the back of half a dozen chairs, scat- ters the other “inake up” about the floor, and forgets the duty she owes to God and herself, and dives into bed like a wharf rat into the canal, rolls and tumbles all night as if the bed were full of hornets and rises at éight, nine or ten o'clock next morning, as stiff and lifeless as a much like the Rev. Dr. Brown Stout, |. 5 itbin t he next, 1 Se as 18. ia e ote ce to be obliged to intrust all his money, into my keeping.

Was not ‘thi praiseworthy ?”_ “You only did your duty, my eon, ” said the old man ; “it would have been scanda- lous to do therefor for honesty is a duty; Yours was an act: of justice, not gencros- -. The second 80n, in his’ turn, related his story. “In my travels I came to the Bor- der of a Take. - child‘had just falten tn- to, the water. him from death before the eyes’ of" the | villagers, wlio will attest the truth: of iny statement:” “That was well done,” interrapted the father, “bat it was simply au an act of hu- manity.” °° At length the youngest brsthier began : “My father,” said be, “I found my mortal enemy, who had wandered off the track during the night, asleep and anconscious on the edge of a precipice ; the least move- ment would have been fatal, as on awak-+ ing he must have tumbled into the abyss. His life was in my hands. I took all precautions to awake him gently, and drew him away from the danger.” “Ah! my son,” cried the father with joy, and embracing him Aenderly, ‘“‘with-, out dispute, the ring belongs to you.” — THAT IMPROVED METHOD. In the Scientific American of Nov. 3, last, it is stated that L. W. Miller, of Stockton, N. Y., has successfully practic- ed feeding milch cows with only three quarts of corn meal per day, and, as I read it, without any other food of any kind. And Mr. Miller is made to say that “a bushel of corn gronnd and | will last a cow of 900 peunds weight, twelve days.” Now, shall we believe this, or is there some mistake? The article has all the appcarance of candor, but,I'can hard- ly believe jt except under protest.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1878, | : Se Are They Honest !—There @ay peed! some very naughty cases among that class of men who have paid off their debts by going jnto-haykryptey. Those whe were coerced into that method of settling their le paneinn their will, or hy oir- 1 eee yond their ‘control, and made _gn honest surrender and pernetrared no fraud in any stage or progress of the business aré justly entitled to public sym- pathy, But take a case like this ; * A is gotng to file his petition in bank - puptey ob Wednesilay,; On the Monday next preceeding he meets Mr. W. and nresgeshimy for the loan of fifty dollars, promising to pay if beck on Saturday, ‘That gentleman, pad been well acquainted witli A. liad no doubt of his financial him to be a man of hid word, loaned him the money. On Saturday, instead of getting the money expected, he regejve) a bankrupt notice. Another casé : Three days before filing his petition, C., whe had enjoyed the rep- tation of a’ manied man, and better still, a gentleman, went around to the stores where be had credit and had already made debts, avd replenished hig ward- robe, getting a coat, hat, boots, papts, shirts, &c., to the amount of forty or fifty deflars, and then sent in his bank- rupt notices to his confiding merchants.

But QO. mguaged to force the firm into bankruptcy; received all the federal and State laws wquid allow him out of the assets of the firm (some $1,500); served a notice on the friend who loaned him a thousand dollars to begin with, and went off with a clear gain of\ $1,500, hesides Jiving two years on the income of the firm. These cases are cited as illustrations to show the abuse of g law intended for the relief of the unfortunate, and to point the yemark that some who have practiced such tricks stil] claim to be honest men. ee The New York Herald ridicnles Mr. Le Pue, Commissioner pf Agricultural at Washington for urging as a practical eo- terprise the cultivation of the tea plant in the United States. The editor says ‘Ought not the Commissioner of Agricul- tare to know, if he knows anything, that the cost of producing marketable tea lies not in raising the plants, bat in picking and peeparing the leayes 7? At this the Chinese labor for legs than thrpe cents a flay. Can any sensible man recommend American farmers to compete with Jabor pt 3 cents a day ?” The Herald seems to think the Com- missioner is laboring °in the interest of somebody tyho has tea seed or plants to sell. We pnblished Jast week the Commis- sioner’s introductary remarks on the docu- ment prepared by him en this subject. It is a matter of $20,000,000 annually to this coquytry, and if the cultivation of the plant.¢ould be introduced without reduc- jng other and more valuable products, the saving of one half that sum would be of service to the country. If we understood the Commissioner he did not expect or desire many farmers to take hold of ¢he tea plant even as an ex- periment ; but alluded particularly to cer- tain portions of South Caroljna and Geor- gia where it was likely the best results might be attained, Mr. Le Due as Commissioner of Agri- culture ought-to be a man above the reach of ridieule, but if he is not the Herald would impale him. A’ Strange and Fatal Accident.—The Wilmington Star reports the death of four men in Brunswick county who strange- ly lost their lives. They were camping out in the woods where they were cutting lumber. There were two white men and and two negroes, all under 9 shelter set up by forks against a large tree. The fire was built aguinst the tree and, as, is supposed, got to and burned the forks during the night, causing the shed to fall upon the men who were sleeping under it. Their charred remains were found under the burning timbers next morning. It is remarkable that not even one escap- ed from the rujns ef suel) 9 temporary structure. —— ~~ Hell.—There aye preachers both in England and the Unjted States who de- clare their disbelief in hell, as represent- edin the Bible. They may belisve or disbelieve this doctrine, and they may re- ject all the teachings of God’s word on any other subject. They may preach their pwn doetrine instead of the revealed trnths of God, just as men have always done, but that don’t change the truth, nor will ‘it alter the word as it has gene forth. Men have often perverted the scriptures to their own deatruction, and will proba- bly continue to do so uniil the end. It is no new thing to bear men gay “there is wo hell,” but just at this time it is a very popular theme, and no doubt seme may be hurt by it.

The city is filling yp, vot with lobby- jsts, but with leading men from different parts of the United States, delegated by Merchants’ Exchanges, Boards of Trade resentation of different. interests to the Committees of Congress. In the spirit of gallantry I should not forget to mention the presence of several hundred women yeloped treasures, must have an open j throughout the world.

DOMESTIC AND PORFIC ¥ TRADE. The aame parties who a: v earnest adyo- cates for jnergasing the facilities. of in- ternal trade and trausportation are equally in favor of extending our’ commerce and opening new markets for our products by encouragement to ship builders and ship owners, enabling them to eatablish ocean lines of steamers connecting us with all the great commercial marts of the world. The anly encouragement needed to achieve the grand result, and send an hundred iron steamer on ocean patlis to a thousand ocean ports is to subsidize them just a’ we do railroads and stage cow- panics to carry the mails to every city, town, village, hamlet and cross rvads in the United States. . USE AND ABUSE OF SUBSIDIES. Many people especially in rural dis- tricts have a perfect horror of this word subsidy, bat they never complain when this subsidy brings them a letter for three cents instead of twenty-five cents. In | the same way if the government should pay afew hundred thousand dollars an- nually for transportation of foreign mails in American ships, thus extending our trade and increasing the value of our commerce by mauy millions of dollars, so as to add something to the price of cotton, wheat and bacon, the farmer or planter would not complain of it as a corrupt and frauda- lent transaction. Like many other things a subsidy is full of blessings or curses just | as it happens to be applied. It is the) business and bounden duty of a govern- ly in favor of the river’s natural anxillary | powers ine a Saitan to Be Ald is not leks argent than wis the prayer of the man ‘who fall- ing oterboatd,’ shag’ otit: “Lord, save me—and that quick!" es We can’t say that we are sorry to see the Turks whippéd.” ft is trae that they are the weaker poWer in this struggle the aiider-dog fn the fight, s0 to ‘speak ; and, as they have‘made a gallant straggle for the maintenatice of théir tidependence and the integrity of their empire, we were naturally inclinea’to let ofr syarpathies go out and invést’ them; but that has {been and is nw fmpoasilile when we con- sider the héli8h’ cruelties ‘practiced by them upon the’ @éfencetess woman, chil- dren and ola mien of Bulgaria. “What are known as “the Btilgarian atrocities” were enongh almost to'thake the whole of Christ tendom rise efftasse for the extermina- tion of the ébtfe °Mahothmiedan ‘race. Whole ' villages, towns and cities were laid waste with fire and sword, without reas- on. Men were murdered by the whole- sale, in eold blood. Women were ravished and mutilated. -Innocent girls were torn from their famities and sabjected to the brutal lusts of ‘squads, companies, and battalions of the'‘turbaned devils. Infauts, torn from their mother’s wombs, were tossed about on the points of bayonets by the rude soldicry. Christian priests were burned at the altar. Churches, filled with women and children who songht the sanctuary for safety, were ruthlessly, mer- cilessly set fire to, and the innocents shot like dogs as they tried to make their es- cape from the flames. And, on the battle fields in this war, wounded Russians have beenin many instances horribly mutilated. It would require volumes even to recapi- tulate the horrible inhumanities of this cruel nation, practiced against the Chris- tian inhabitants snbjected to their con- trol—not only ib the present, but for ages past. The Christian world do not and ean not sympathize with them in their hour of defeat and disaster. England should hands off, and let the Russians drive the armies of the Sultan across the Bosphorus, and so relieve Europe of the presence cf ment to extend proper encouragement to home interest, and to do the greatest good to the greaicst pumber. During the past and fast legislation of our times the gov- ernment sometimes lavished money apon our enterprises that were in the hands of | intoacurse, and thus made the very name of subsidy odious iv the miuds of the peo- ple. The evils of bad legislation are not eured by a wholesale on-slaught upon a} just and beneficient principle or policy. The errors of the past point the true states- }man to additional restriction and safe- guards in the future.

When Con- gressmen are cornered, and driven from all subterfuge by the eloquence of the ladies, they finally eseape by offering to advocate a law submitting the question of female suffrage to the women of Ameri- ca, the nation to be governed by the re- sult, The proposition is rejected with infinite scorn, and Solcu retires fron) the discussion a badly hen pecked man. TOBACCO AND WHISKEY TAX. Returning to the delegations of leading men now here, and others daily arriving, who come to press upon Congress the necessity of prompt and liberal legislation touching the great interests and industries of the country, they may be divided inte two classes, First comes the tobacceand whiskey manufacturers who ask for a re- duction of one half in the tax levied upon these two articles. They say that tobac- co, whiskey and beer are the poor man’s luxuries, that they pay about three fourths of the internal revenue of the country, throwing nearly the whole burden of the tax upon the Seuth and West, and leay- ing the heavy capitalists of the East and North almost free. To maintain the same amount of revenue it is proposed to make up the deficiency that would be caused by such reduction of the tax, by renewing the ingome tax. Mr. Robbins of North Caroling has introduced a bill on the sab- ject, which with the rebate proviso of Mr. Cabell’s amendment, makes a popular measure, and jf the people could vote on the subject, it would doubtless pass by on immepsp mejority.

J. 1. T. —— a - NEARING 'FHE END. It is manifest now that the Turco-Rus- siav war ia drawing to a close. The Turkish armies, beaten at every point, driven from their strongholds in Bulgaria and in the Balkans, are steadily falling back. The Bussians, notwithstanding the deep snows and the almost impassable condition of the roads, are as steadily ad- vaneing, under the brilliant leadership of Raditzky, Skobeloff and Gourka. Only the announcement. ef an armistice can check their victorious march into the vital regions of Turkey. Adrianople, the sec- ond largest city in the Ottoman Empire and a fortress of fumed -strength, it is thought will be unable to hold out against | the invaders; and with the downfall of | that highly important point, the way to Coustantinople lies open and bare to the victors. Already, wild dismay prevails in the Crescent City, Hope of snecessfully re- sisting the Russians is abandoned. Sub- jugation to their ancient enemies stares the Mohammedans in the face. With all their courage, fortitude, daring, and fe- rocity, they are powerlesa to prevent the consummation of the Czar's ambitious de- signs. Nothing but the consciousness of their utter weakness in front of the North- ern armies could make them go down in- to the dust of humiliation so far as toaue for peace. “Hold, enough!” is the agoniz- ed cry that goes up from the broken, dis- couraged Turks. How it wil] be anewer- ed is as yet problematical.

Fertilizers, like brandy and water to the man, are but temporary expe tents—anvatural stimu- lants, We have seen fields, which, a few years ago, nuder the most indastrious tillage, would uot yield more than six or seven bushels of wheat to the acre, now producing under the regime of clover, from twenty.to twenty-tive.

AWay with such nopeless theory. Happily the GREAT MASTERS OF | MepICINE have entered their protest against it and are confuted by tne inmost positive cestimony the tnonstrous fallacy. Dangeruus as pulmonary phthlsis is, ils Lerrible ravages may be stayed and the lungs restored to a sound condition even after suppuration has taken place. kvery expenenced surgeon knows that post mortem examinations of aged persons who have died in the ordinary course of nature have re- peatedly disclosed the traces of pulmonary ulcers entirely cicatrized. The argument, therefore, against Ube possibility of healing a pulmonary abscess be- cause the linmediate 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 authorilies as Revinus, | Malphigial, Du Haen aud scores of ovacrs, French, } Eogiish ani German, might easily be cited to prove | their certain curabtlity. | ‘lo treat any malady rationally its character and | morbid influence must be known. The dissecting | knife has disclosed all the internal characteristics of j consumption. We know that tubercles in the lungs | vary in size from granules sinalier than a pin’s head | lo Unatofa large 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, greenish, | gray ish matter generally very offensive.

Itis | obvious that something is required which will ena- | ble the sufferer Lo rais@ and eject the poison rank- | ling in his luags, 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 object so effectyally | and speedily as HOLLOWaY’s CoUGH CURK AND Lune | Kausam.

It is not alone that the preparation dis- lodges the pulmonic virus, it possesses balsamic pro- ries peculiarly adapted to soothe the lacerated ung, while by its tonic opperations it greatly facili- tates and hastens the healing process. AS a pre- ventive HOLLOWAY’s COUGH CURE AND LUNG BALSAM 13 equally eflicaciqus, Coughs, especially the dry paces coughs which are #0 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 itis not speedily checked and cough loosened. HOLLOWAY's CovaH CURE AND LUNG BALSaM accomplishes this with a degree of prompti- tude and certainty which astonishes the patient. No type of throat, lung ur 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 tugredients 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 efticacy. The unsolicited testimonials which its proprietors have been reveiving since its introduction to the public, from pers who have experienced or witnessed its wonde.:ul beneficial effects, fully justify the belief that it must, ere long, become the STANDARD AMERICAN SPECIFIC AND ALL DisBaSks OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS.

The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a_ public wentof the business men and of the interests of the county. The time hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have a public journal of its own to represent its inter- ests in the various aff:irs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would not be greatly benefited by a journal within its boands especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tinlity and pride of the section it serves; and every citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, as a means of increase ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the :nure beneficial it will prove; and as. the money required for its support ia far less than the material good it does, it is the best invest-- ment any county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially Wwe duty of the editor of a newspaper taitetatt to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to his readers the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be true in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in aceord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. , He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776. The danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people. While that party shall continte more pure and truly patriotic than any other he intends to be.fully identified with it. , But the main design of The Record is to serve the county of Davidson in all the ways it may be possible to advance her interests and\ pro- mote the welfare of her people. And to this end the nndersigned desires ench intimate. re- lations with her citizens ar shal! enabjJe him to perform his duty efficiently. The paper will be published weekly at $1-a year in advance. It will be small, but neatly printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes to make up in quality what may be lacking in size, The first number will appear about the first week in January, 1878.

The truck was beantifally decorated with wreathes and garlands, flags and streamers, monograms, mottoes, &e. On top, the pretty little Minnie Barber, was placed on a thrown draped in United States flags, to repre- sent the goddess of Liberty. In her right hand she carried a stuff surmounted with the Liberty Cap, on her left arm a shield, and on her head a hemlet of gold, her feet resting on a large guiled eagle, The com- pany paraded the principal street of the city. Mr. Jas. Wren, we learn, did the decorating, and deserves much praise for hia excellent taste and judgment in sach matters. —— THE BERGER FAMILY TROUPE, After quite a dearth in the way of pub- lic entertainments, our citizens are to be treated on this (Thursday) evening, toan elegant performance by the popular and celebrated Berger Family. The company comprises a lady orchestra, a ladies, silver cornet band, and the famous Swiss Bel Ringers, aud nearly all the performers excel as soloists upon one or more differ- ent instruments. Principal among these latter is Miss Anna Teresa Berger the famous lady cornet player, and perhaps the finest artist on this instrument bow before the American public. The Delanas, Jeppe and Fannie, commedians and char- acter sketch artists: the Coleman sisters, versatile instrumental performers, and Miss Etta Morgan Saxophone Soloist, are some of the principal features of the en- tertainment. The performances of this troupe are, always of a high order of merit, are chaste and elegant in character and are entirely devoid of all objectiona- ble features. A fall house will doubtless greet them. Tickets are on sale at Kluttz Drug Store. BUSINESS LOCAL COLUMN. Printing Office for Sale.

W asHINGTON, Jan. 19.—Mr. Seldler ap- peared before the sub-Committee of Ways and means to-day in the interest of Lor- illard & Co., of New York, protesting against the proposed reduction of the tax on tobacco, claiming whereas he had _ or- ders for 1,200,000 pounds in November; in December, after the agitation set in, he had only 300,000 pounds; that his, estab- lishment worked 2,500 men; that it had the capacity of 60,000 pounds per day, and that his orders would average 50,000; that he was surprised that the Frginia manu- facturers agitated this subject; that the price of leaf tobacco depended upon the supply and demand; that the consumption was entirely irrespective of price. That there were only eight millions of consam- ers, cousuming an average of fifteen pounds; that the price had nothing wo do with the number of consumers, or the amount consumed; that the tax of 24 cents was low as compared with England, Franee, Germavy, Spain apd Austria. The tax in England was three shillings on mantifactured tobaeco; that if the tax was reduced the tariffs would have to be inereased and an income tax would have to be imposed; that ff the tax was reduced to 12 cents, the revenue from it would be reduced to one-half; consequently the cost of collection, which was now 4 per cent., would be 8 per cent. Business was now in a very unprofitable condition, Wat he were had in New 1 were making interior pose of underselling. That these were the reasons why Virginia manufacturers were so depressed, and not because of the tax. The fine cut men of the West and the North West came in for their share of these criticisms. Kentucky was not al- luded to. He further said that if the tax was reduced now it would have to be re- stored very soon. He was further questioned by some gen- tlemen who were present, that if the pre- éént tax was building up such giant es- tablishments as he claimed, if it would not be better to double the present rate? He said that the smaller and poorer man- ufacturers were more liable to defraud the government than were the larger ones— because from the latter larger bonds were required and more people were watching them, the argument being that it would be beneficial to the government to concen- trate the manufacture in the larger estab- lishments. He admitted that tobacco was very low now. Lugs in the New York and Western markets being 2 or 2} centa, in Virginia 3 cents. In order to save their Western trade Lorillard & Co., gave guarantees to their customers, and in the event of a redue- tion of-tax it would involve them in a loss of over $300,000. In regard to the rebate ov tax Mr. Seidler argued that the stock on hand would be nearly one-half of the year’s supply. Some 60,000,000 pounds at 12 cents would cause a loss to the Government of $7,200,000. He said that Mr. Kimball, Chief of the Tobacco Bureau in this city had stated to him that it would open a vast area for per- jary and fraud. Col. Burwell was present and prepared to present an argument in behalf of the Virginia manufacturers, but owing to the prolonged session, he was requested to furnish his views in writing, which he will do early next week. re GOV. TILDEN’S CASE. New York, Jan. 19.—The often ad- journed case of Gov. Tilden’s alleged un- paid income tax came up before Judge Blatchford in the U. 8. District Court to- day. Onthe argument on demurrer to the complaint Mr. Aaron J. Vanderpoel appeared for Gov. Tilden and District Attorney Wood fur the United States. There are nine counts in the complaint, to all of which demurrer is made on techni- cal ground, the merits of the case not be- ing gone into. It was decided to take up each count separately. The first count charges $3,000 back tax for the fiscal years of 1861 and 1862. Mr. Vanderpoel claim- ed that the laws passed about that time were recognized as necessary war meas- ares aud annulled the law requiring the payment of income tax in that year. Judye Blotehford sustained the demurrer, giving Gov. Tildew the first victory. ~~ i p-—— Extract from “POTPOURRI PAPERS.” BY W. H. NEAVE. Fellow writers from T. N., if any posi- tion I take in these “Pots” appears to you untenable, for my own and others’ sakes, shell me out of it. Any stricture I may make on the utterances of others, if shown to be wrong, I will renounce or modify. ‘As I do to others, I expect others to do unto me;” correct me if I am wrong. -I am guided, as far as a mere human being can know himself, by honest impersonal motives; but he whe would “shoot folly as it flies,” and boldly hant down abuse and expose wrong-doing, must not ex- pect, nor wish every oue to be kindly dis- posed toward him. If he does, he is him- self a fool, and will be wofully disappoint- ed. Speaking of the Wheeler and Wilson band, Bridgeport, Conn., “Piano” says: “One way of accounting for this falling off in the public estimation, is the fact that their leader is a Jew. There is a prejadice against that race iu the pablic mind, which cannot be easily overcome.” This wholesale denunciation of a great people mortifies me, the more especially since he assumes to speak for me as well as himself, I being a unit in the aggregate ‘“‘public mind.” The antagonisms between peoples and races exists only among the lower classes, if we leave out austere, rancorous sectarian bigots; and the lower order of Jews will, certainly, compare very favorably with the same class of Irish, German, English, Italian or “ Amer- iean roughs.” Indeed, the Jews have none 80 low as such. Who ever heard of a Jew who could live only by loafing, stealing, or brainless labor; or who kept a low doggery or den of prostitution? The great men of any people are those whose transcendant abilities give tone, dignity and character to their nation, and the Jews show, at least, » full proportion of such as compared with avy people. The republic of letters (fine intellects high- ly cultured) is cosmopolitan—caring noth - ing for geographical or other distinctive lines. I have bad musical business rela- tions with those of all nationalities, and have had my confidence betrayed in cases among all but the Jewish. So has my wife as apianoteacher. Again, generally speaking, an inferior musician stands no chance with a Jewish musical leader or director, merely because he isa Jew. The The same cannot be said of any other nationality, save, perhaps, American. Jews areseldom or never iuferior in what they live by; and he who has a Jewish competitor in music must needs be com- petent, energetic and politic, and should he be distanced in the race, the despica- ble dodge of attempting to revive that attributed it to other causes than the tax; dead, rotten shame of a past barbarism, e 3 es a eZ ie », | # rT, ™ ' - I me Mary = = - ee? [not,. Virgin Shall ideas, and the early histor simply because we fer abont the real Messiah? Music, in itself, is religion, but the spirit of sectari- anism is the very antipodes of true piety. ‘In the days of the crusades, of Peter the hermit, and “licentiousness moat foul,” to speak of Jews as “Judas Iscuriots and outeasts,” was in order, bat not in these liberal, enlightened times, especially iv this great repnblic. But, anyway, Judas Iscariot was a good man as compared with was as bad as our official rascals of to- day, he was only one in twelve. Would that we had as small a proportion in any vocation now. But let us see in what his atrociousness censisted : he had only one besetting sin, an inordinate love of moneys; (“let him without this sin among you east the first stone at him.”). The reward of thirty pieces of silver he thought he eonld make with impunity to his Master, feeling satisfied that if delivered into their hands, his enemies could not held him; but when he saw that Christ was “sure enough” in the tvils, and could not extricate himself, Judas, wild with grief, ran and besought his release and offered the moncoy back; failing in this he went and hanyed himself ! Nobody told him to do so; he was not even found out, but his sin was more than he could benr, (good man.) I wish we had as much integrity and effectual con- trition for malfeasance in office among our highest public men of to-day. Com- pared with them, Judas was a gentleman, a saint. If our many naaghty B’s and many otners would even respect ‘public opinion” enough to commit “Hari Kari” after detection by law, even we. could at least pity rather than execrate the wretch- es. Judas rid society of his presence, thas presenting a laudable example and obvious evidence of his innate abhorrence of crime and spirit of treachery. ‘That small, shaliow, and narrow-minded por- tion of public opinion which clings to the prejudices and. traditions of the dark ages, wicked with the pure ‘‘cusseduess” of bigotry, which the march of intellect and events of the past century has not “over- come” is hopelessly ignorant and vitiated, aud is unworthy of regard, and I hope “Piano” is himself not of it.” —Trumpet Notes. —_--———— TurKeEY Presentation.—The town au- thorities ef Hickory presented Mr. Charles Gordon, Eugiueer on the W.

And, wonder- ful to relate, I had Mrs. Browning’s apart- ment and Mrs. Jameson’s table when I was here ten years ago! But Casa Guidi is not so well placed for sun-light as we wished, whd “we therefore sacrificed the sentiment to the advantage of being at home ‘4a'mine own inn.” It wascertain- ly a ph t guidance that led _ns to the Hotel dela Ville, where we have found de- lightfut quarters. If the windows laek the romance of poetry and art, they look out upen waters, bri wers, dc -~ “hil pe s ey - wenta, that together make a panorama of unsurpassed historical interest. If the story were not spoiled in the telling, a volume might easily be made to thrill the reader, by the simplest record of the memories suggested by the view from the window at which Lam writing these lines. The sun has just gone down. An Ital- jan sunset in its highest glory is now be- fore us. Serriedranks of clouds are on fire. They are reflected from the swollen bosom of the Arno, which glows and burns with the last light of day. All the West is filled with broken and dissolving rain- bows: piles of purple and orange, and brilliant red hues and violet rays, are heaped up there in masses ef rich color- ing, a great heaven of beauty and glory, in which the fading clouds float like is- lands of the blest in an infinite sea. The house is in an open square, on which stands one of the oldest churches in Florence. Within it are the ashes and the tomb of the man whom Americans will never ferget, though they regret that they have such cause to remember hint. On a marble slab in the pavement of the high altar, is this inscription : SVIS M LXXI-S AMERIGO VESPUCIO POSTERIS. ~ He was one of those few fortunate men who get more fame than is their due. Americe Vespuci followed in the wake of Columbus, and having stumbled upon the coast of the Western Continent, left his name on the whole of it, and it remains to this day, and will to the end of time. More fitting would it have given the bon- or of the New World’s name to Columbus, as it certainly belongs to him. And here in Florance they not only build a tomb to Americus and treasure his bones, but they point to the greatest celebrated gnomon of the Duomo as the greatest astronomi- cal instrument in the world. We are told that this fine meridian was traced as early as 1468 by a physician of Florance, a great philosopher and astronomer ; Tos- canelli, who corresponded with Christo- pher Columbus, communicated to him the results of his penetrating researches into astrenonical science, and pursuaded the great navigator to try the western pas- sage to India! Thus the Florentines would intimate that the discovery of the Western World is due to the scientific researches of their citizen, Dr. Tosca nelli. Therefere, with profound compla- cency, they garnish the sepulchre of Amer- icus Vespuel and put the laurels of Colum- bus on the brows of Toscanelli ! Across the Arno, which flows beneath our windows, we see many hills covered with villas, palaces, convents and chureh- es; but a little tower inthe distance, more than anything else, attracts my attention whenever I look ont on this splendid scene. From the stone on which Jacob slept, a ladder seemed to reach from earth to sky. And from that lone tower the os > old astrenomer, the prince of seers, by the aid of hig telescope, was wont to bring | the heavens very near. On it the old man stood to make those observations which we study with no less wonder to- day than his unbelieving cotemporaries did in 1640. It is well to revise one’s re- collection of facts when there is a new association by which to fasten them. If you are familiar with Milton’s Paradise Lost, you will readily recur to the lines in which he writes thet Satan’s shield ‘‘Hang o’er his shoulders like the moon whose orb Through the optic glass the Tuscan artist views At evening from the top of Fiesole, Or in Val Arno, to desery new lands, Rivers or mountains, in her spotty globe.” The Tusean artist was Galileo, to whom Milton came when the astronomer was old and bind, a prisoner here, under the ban of the Inquisition, waiting for death to come and take him above the stars. Galileo was born at Visa, euly a few hours from Florence, Feb. 15, 1564. Neith- er you nor I believe in the transmigration of souls, but we are entertained by strik- ing coincidences. Itis asserted that Gali- leo was born the same day and hour when Michael Angele died ; and when Galileo died, the year was signalized by the birth of Isaac Newton! The world never knew three other men, in such a succession, of such transcendent genius. Galileo was but a boy of eighteen when, iu his parish church, he saw the chandelier swinging to and fro, and was led to think of a peudu- lum whose vibration® should be a meas- ure of time. Tle was only twenty-five when he took his seat as Professor of Mathematies in the University of Pisa, his native place, and there made those discoveries in physics which lie at (re basis of his astronomical system. The leaning tower of Pisa is looked on by travellers as a curious problem, and per- haps Galileo did not know why it was so ; but it leaned jast far enough for bim to , try his experiments with falling bodies, and if the tower never served any better purpose, it was enough to that it leaned for him. He knew too much for his own peace, for he proved that an invention of a great man was a sham, and the great man became his enemy and caused the re- moval of the Astronomer to Padua. Here he was Professor for eighteen years. When he had perfected his first telescope hé took it to Venice, and, from the top of the Cathedral of St. Mark, looked into the heavens and discovered the p of Jupi- opinions of th J, were abr : earth. Science contended stoutly against him. Superstition came to the aid of science and made the fight bitter. How sorely the good man was tried, in the fif- teen years that followed these brilliant discoveries, his published letters reveal. And when the Jusuits pretended that re- ligion would be overturned if it were proved that the earth revolves around the sun, the old astronomer—for he was now three score and ten—was ordered to pre- sent himself at Rome and answer to the charge of teaching doctrine opposed to the faith of the Church. Into the hands of the Inquisition he now was thrown. It is not certain that he was put to the tor- oo od ture, though a sentence in one of his let- | ters seems to strengthen the idea that he was. Probably he was a man of such sensitive physical organization that he could not face the instruments of torture ; and without hesitation he admitted that | the earth stood still, rather than to go upon a wheel himself. That he did sign a written retraction of his opinions is quite certain. But it is not certain that he said “it dees move, nevertheless,” when he rose from his knees, as be is repo: ted aud generally believed to have said. Be that as it may, we know that his recanta- tion was not believed to be sincere, and he was condemned and consigned to im- prisonment. The intercession of friends procured his release, and he was ordered to remain in duress, under the watch cof | the Inquisition, at Arcetri, adjoining Florence, where the Inquisition was flour- ishing, and abundantly ably and willing to roast a heretic ata moment’s warning. The Galli family, to which Galileo be- longed, had property there, and the villa which he rented, and where he passed the remaining ten sad years of his life, still remains, and the tower that bears his il- lustrions name. To his house men of learning and fame made pilgrimages, to see the man who had revolutionized the system of avorlds. He toiled on in bis forced retirement, writing out those works which could not then be published for fear of Rome, bat which have since be- come the property of mankind. Milton, a young and ardent poet, quite as uncon- scious of his future as Galileo was of his at the same age, came to Arcetri, and looked upon the glorious old man, who could not see him now, for ai the age of 74 he lost the sight of those eyes that had often looked into the mysteries of the skies. He closed them here in death Jan. 8, 1642. The men of Florence gave him, as he deserved, a royal burial, and his sepulchre is among them, in the church of Santa Croce, with an epitaph that cele- brates the greatest astronomer of any age. Galileo’s instrumeots are carefully pre- served and kindly exhibited in the great Museum of Natural Science in this city. And when you have looked at, not through, his telescope, which is a very poor affair compared with what we have in our mod- ern observatories, and have seen the wonderful preparvtions in wax of anatomi- cal subjects, giving the winutest exhibi- tions of the internal and outer parts of the human body,—the most cemplete and perfect thing of the kind in the world,— you may go, as I have gone to-day, to the hill of Arcetri, the tower of Galileo, to the house and room in which he labored, suffered and died. Ou no other height have I stood and been so profoundly im- pressed with sublime associations, as to- day and there. Leaving the carriage at the foot of the last rise of the hill, I walk- ed a few rods up through a narrow alley, and came suddenly upon space on the very summit. An ancicat, rustic, ram- bling stone building, a farmer’s place ap- parently, with a rude tower on one cor- ner, crowned the hill. I came to the door, and a smiling Italian peasant wo- man asked if I would see the interior. Stepping into the court of the house, I found on the walls marble tablets covered with inscriptions recording the facts re- apecting the great astronomer’s residence: the care that had been taken to preserve it as it was iu his day. All around were memorials of him and the noble families with whom he and his history are con- nected. I passed up a flight of stone steps iuto the stady of Galileo! His micros- cope, his books, bis manuscripts, his por- trait painted from life, his bust, letters to hins from illustrious men, the chairs in which he sat, the large table at which he wrought, paper covered with the drawings that his own hands had made—all just as if he had stepped ont of his stady and as- | cended the tower. I went up after him. The steps were of wood, and they and the railing are ricketty with age, but they had held great men, and were not to break down with me. The tower was not lofty, but, being on a hill-top, it commands the whole horizon : and such a heaven above and such an earth beneath, sure in no other clime and land maythe eye rejoice in. Not fair Florence only or chiefly is the glory of this scene: though not a dome or tower or palace in its cirele of splendor but shines at my feet in this brightest of sunlight: but Tuscany, cov- ered with vineyards and olives, rich in corn and wine, ten thousands of villas crowning and studying the billsides and plains: the Arno rushing among the walls both soldiers ladies t cut in the latest Pas dashing on -be comes a brilliant € holding high a of the city and coursing throngh the fields ; sand z ides on e f great world of Europe” and making, with their sister Alps, the bulwark of Italy. Yet it was not this view that Galileo stadied from this old tower. He did not even look that way. Ad astra ibat. To the stars he went avd walked among them, familiar with their paths, | nor losing once his way, he was at home | when farthest from the earth in quest of worlds till then unknown.

(Correspondent of the N Y Tribune, 15th.) CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec, 21.—As long as ' Plevna held oat, even the most despond- ing of the people had lingering hopes that in some way the tide of war might be turned back. Since the surrender of the place, however, every spark of hope has died out, and I never saw such despair and such hopelessness as that which now | exhibits itself amoug the mass of the peo- | ple. They carse their rulers and their generals, and are ready to sink into leth- argy in the belief that what is fated has been revealed by the events of the last three wonths. The people have: learned to regard Osman Pasha as the one hero of the whole nation, and every household is bereaved in his loss, as if it were a death. They feel such a regard for Osinan Pasha that they impute to the Czar a similar ad- miration and recount to each other stories of the generosity shown to Osman by him. An old Turk gravely told me of the whole scene of the surrender. Perhaps you would like to hear it. Osman Pasha was on a litter, having commanded the army all day with a ballet in hisleg. The Czar kissed him on the forehead, and said to him, “You have done nobly.” At the same time he took from his own breast the | Grand Cross of St. George and pined it | upon that of his valiant enemy saying: | “Go back to your country in safety. | cannot keep in prison a man like you.” This story isthoroughly believed by many | Turks whom we would expect from their station to be intelligent. It shows how little even the best informed of those ed- ucated here know of the great outside world, whose coldness and cruelty they , weep over as does a boy of eighteen on his first absence from home. None of these people have trust worthy sources of in- formation, and they do not know what sources are trustworthy. It will hardly be believed that none of the official news- papers have noticed the fall of Plevna at all. It is in all the other papers of the city, of course, but the only official hint that Plevna has fallen, is the bulletin is- sued by the War Office to deny the death of Osman Pasha. ‘Those who rely on the Army Gazette for military news are still expecting daily that there will be news that the place holds out. | Until then they feast their eyes on the reports of the num- ber killed inevery Circassian outpost fight, and say, after reading each record, of Rus- sians left dead, ‘“‘“May God increase the number of them.” We have at last a sign of peace. The government has officially warved the peo- ple not to speak of Russia as the Bear of the North, on the ground that sach lan- guage is disrespectful, and countrary to the rules of courtesy in vogue among civ- ilized nation. Those who know Turkey say that this isa sure sign that peace is nearly concluded. Meanwhile measures are being taken to make a hard fight for Adrianople. We were fairly amazed to see Saleiman Pasha’s troops beginning to’ land here day before yesterday. The long- est way around is the quickest for them. * ¢ © The streets present a peculiarly Babel-like aspect just now. There are hegro soldiers, and Arab soldiers, ai 4 Koord soldiers—men speaking half-a-doz- eu dialects in any brigade. On the streets these fellows, worn down by hardships in the field, merrily tramp along with the long, swinging step that shows they know how to march.

That trim, gentle-looking, drab-colored bird, erroneously called turtle-dove, by dwellers in the United States, and gener- ally deemed so utterly innocent and pare that to kill it for the table or any other use, is branded as heinous in the extreme, is not so in tafter all. Its soft,dark eyes are a ; its sober, Quaker garb is calculated to deceive ; its timid move- ments are not to. be trusted. When once it has been insulted by one of ite kind the dove becomes as cruel and outrageously heartless as any murderer can be. Some years ago I witnessed a fight between two female moaning-doves which for utter barbarousness could not be exceeded. I was angling in a brook for sun-perch, half prone on a grassy bank, lost in a brown study, with a cigar between my lips, when I happened to see a dove alight on a goarled bough of a plane-tree afew yards distant. Immediately it began to coo in that dolefully plaintive strain so well known to every lover of Nature, and was soon joined by a male, who perched him- self within a feet or two of her. I espied their nest, not yet finished, in the fork of an iron wood tree near by. The birds made very expressive signs to each other with their heads by a series of bows, nods, and sidewise motions, of which I under- stood enough to know that some intruder was near—perhaps they meant me. The fish were not biting any too well, but the grass was fragrant, the sound of the wa- ter very soothing, and the flow of the wind steady and cooling, 30 I did not care to move just to hamor the whim of a pair of billing doves. It proved, hdwever, af- ter all, that I was not the cause of alarm. Another female dove presently dropped like a hawk from a dark, dense mass of leaves above the pair, and strack the first on the back with beak and wings. A tight ensued, witnessed with calm inter- est by myself and the male dove. At first the combatants struggled des~ perately together on the bough, fiercely beating each other with their wings, and plucking out the feathers from breast and neck, all the time uttering low, querulous notes different from anything I had ever before heard. Pretty soon they fell off the bough, and came whirling down upon ' ground, where they continued the battle with constantly-increasing fury, their eyes fairly flasing fire, and cutting and thrusting with their beaks like swords- mep. Blood began to show itself about their heads, and in places their necks When at last one of them became so exhausted that further struggle was impossible, the other proceeded to take its stand upon its help- less opponent, and would have quickly made an end of it had I not. interfered, The vanquished bird was minus an eye, aod was unable to fly for some minutes. The secret of the battle was jealousy. The male sat by, and watched in a nonchalant way until it was all over, when he very lovingly strutted ap to the victorious dove, and began cooing in a low, soothing tone. From that day to this I have re- pudiated the figure “innocent as a dove,” and whenever an opportunity offered, have sped a two-ounce arrow full at the breast of the bird, widow er no widow. When properly cooked by parboiling, stuffing, and basking, a dove is a choice bit for the table. While on this subject I may add that in the Southern States of our ceuntry doves often congregate in in- namerable swarms, like pigeons, and do great damage to the pea fields, yeteven there the prejudice against them is so great that you rarely see a trap or spring set for then, or a gun leveled at them.— From Appletons’ Journal for February. — Prussian Rewicious Sratistics.—The Cologne Gazette gives the following statis- tics taken from the last census—that of December 81, 1875—as to the religious be- liefs of the people of Prussia: Of the 25,- 742,404 inhabitants of the kingdom 16,- 636,990 returned themselves as belonging to the Evangelical National Church; of these 13,266,620 are of the United Charch, 2,905,- 250 Lutherans and 465,120 of the Reformed Church.

One of the most remarkable instances on record of parental devotion and of suc- cess in keeping secret a family affliction may be found in the family of a citizen who is keeping-a drinking saloon in the western part of the city. Twenty-seven years ago he kept a house on Western row. About that time a number of houses in the vicinity were destreyed by fire in the night, including his residence. His wife, in a delicate condition, suffered much from fright, and subsequently gave birth to a monstrosity —an offspring with- out any of the better senses of a living creature, except that ef sight—without toes or fingers; deaf, speechless, without the least spark of intellect or instinct. Twenty-seven years have passed, and the family have kept this creature in the household, secreted in a room, and only a few of the neighbors besides, who are on the most intimate relations, have known of its existence. It eats when food is placed to ite mouth, andis kept in a cleanly condition by the most constant care. A long beard has grown on its face. It is about three feet inlength. It crawls about some, but moves with great diffi- eulty. That such a creature has lived so long is singular. That a family, instead of placing it in some asylum, has endured its presence in their midst, and nurtured it in assiduous privacy through all of these years is a strauge and affecting incident of parental devotion.—Cincinnati Commer- cial. ROYAL MARRIAGE. King Alfonso, of Spain, is United to Mer- cedes, the Third Daughter of Duke De Montpensier— Magnificent Presents. Maprip, Jan. 23.—The marriage of Alfonso and Mercedes, the third daughter of Duke De Montpensier was celebrated in Atocha Cathedral with great splendor. Preseut: Queen Christinia and King Francisco, the King’s grand-mother and father; the special ambassadors from France, Austria, Russia and England, the apostolic delegate, the Count and Countess of Paris, Senators and Deputies and other dignitaries. The Pope, the King’s. ged- father, sent by the apostolic delegate a wedding ring blessed by His Holiness, and a rose of. diamonds for the Queen. Duke De Montpensier gives his, daughter 25,000,000 francs in addition to a great quantity of diamonds and wonderfully rich trosseau. Alfonso gives his queen several suits of jewels and his portrait set in brilliants. There are great prepara- tions for the festivities. The celebration will last five days. There will also be a six weeks’ season of Italian opera. The Queen also received from her sister, the Countess of Paris, a magnificent set of jewels. ae ele ee A Lwueoid and Satisfactory Explanation.

The boat- sledge, as it may be termed, would be highly polished as to minimize . friction, whilst the bow would be stayed and lengthened to the fullest extent, so as to resist concussions. Of course the stenm power is intended to be concentrated as much as possible, whilst the steering wheels would be driven directly from the crank shaft.

They have begun to come back already. A correspondent writes that several of the young men who left Marlboro county, 8. C., some weeks ago for Texas, have returned to the homes of their daddies and are loud in denunciation of their folly in disbelieving the reports of the press gnd disregarding the advice of sensible people. These young men re- port Texas to be crowded with men seek- ing to gain money by any possible means, and that our Carolinas are blessed with advantages foreign to Texas.

Too mach praise cannot be bestowed upon His Honor, for the patient and im- partial hearing be has given all causes that have come before him, aud for the rapid manner in which he has dispatched the business of the Court. We learn that forty-seven eases have already been tried and finally diaposed of. Of these, a num- ber have been ow the docket for ten or “fifteen years; and there were others of long standiug, iv which suitors had press- ed for trial term after term, bat in vain; owing, in part, to the fneompetency and inefficiency of radical jadges, and partly to the accumulation of eriminal business. As the Inferior Court now bas jurisdic- tion of a latge majority of the criminal’ cases, civil suitors and Mtigauts may here- after expect a trial of their cases at the first term. The cases shall stand for trial, and save, thereby, a great deal of time, labor and expense. A’ number of important cases were tried last week, among others that of W. A. Blount, Administrator of L. O. B. Branch, against Alexander Parker. In the spring of 1865 the administrator ef Gen. Branch had deposited ten North Carolina State bonds of the denomination of $1,000 each, and six Virginia State bonds of the same denomination, in the iron safe of Maj. W. B. Gulich; the safe was shipped to this place in the month of April 1865, as a place of safety. About the time of Stoneman’s Raid, the safe was broken open and rifled of its contents, Three of the Virginia State bonds eame into the possession of the de- fendant, as he alledges, by finding, and were sold by him, and the proceeds con- verted to his own use. The defendant relied upon the statute of limitation, His Honor, reserving the question of the law, put the case to the jury, whe rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for thirty - one handged and fifty dollars. After- wards His Honor decided the question of law reserved in favor of the defendant. We presume the case will be finally set- tled in the Supreme Ceurt. Thevomainder of the cases for trial on the civil doeket will doubtless be dis- posed of the present week, When we learved Jadge Kerr had been commissioned by the Governor to hold the Special Term of Rowan Saperior Court, we took oceasion to say that our people would extend to him a cordial greeting, and when he leaves us we are sure he will carry with him the best wish- es of our citizens, ~~ Se ‘The citizens of Charlotte, acting through the chamber of commerce of that city are petitioning Congress for an appropriation to building a Post office; and the passage of Vange’s bill for re-establishing the wint in that city as a ebinage mint.

In 1326 they commenced an aggressive policy, and gained a footing in Europe by the taking of Gallipoli, and other fortresses on the coast. wade light of these conqrests by whieh the barbarians had only taken from th a “hog’s sty” and a “pottle of wine,” jo allussion to the magazines and cellars built by Justinian at Gallipoli; bet, as the historian Koolles quaintly remarks, “by taking of such hoysties and pottles of wine, the Tarks hat gone so far ioto Thracia, that Amurath, a few years later, placed his royal seat at Adrianople.” Af- ter a series of wars with the Selavonian tribes of the Upper Danube, the Venetian Republic and the Byzantine Emperors, the Turks, under Hohammed U1, in 1453, stormed Constantinople, aud destroyed the last relic uf the Empire of the Ceasars. Bajitzet TI, who reigned fren 1481 to 1522, extended his dominions to the present limits of the Tarkish Empire in Asia and Europe. His successors, Selim J, and Solyman I, ‘‘the magniticent,” ruised the Ottoman Empire to the heighth of its pow- erand splendor.

The Russians attacked them and drove. thew off. Ustil then, the middle of the six- teenth cewtary, the Russiaus were a peo- ple unkuown in Southern Europe. Fora century, and a half the Turks were engaged in Woody wars of varying fortunes, with Venice, Spain, Moldavia, Poland, Persia, and) Austria.

The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign ptper of 1876, is designed to meet a public went of the business men and of the interests of the county. The time hascome when almost pablic journal of its own to represent its inter- estsin the varions afftirs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would not be greatly benefited by a journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appenls very strongly to the par- Uality and pride of the section it serves; and every cilizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, as a means of increas- home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the more beneficial it will prove; and as‘ the money required for its support is far less than the material good it does, it is the best invest- ment any county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics df the country. If it is the daty of every man to keep himself well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor ofa newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public congern, and give to his readers the facts of the sahe. The undersigned pledges himself to be trne in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will cndeaver to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776. The danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties: of the people. While that party shall continue more, pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it, But the main design of The Record istoserve the-connty of Davidson in all the ways it may be possible to advance her interests and pro- mote the welfare of her people. And to’ this end the undersigned desires such intimate re- lations with her citizens as shall enable him to perform bis duty efficiently. The paper will be published weekly at $1 a year in advance. It will be small, but neatly printed on-new type; ard the proprietor hopes to make up in quality what may be lacking in size. The first nomber will appéar about the first week in January, 1878.

Brussets, Jan. 29.—The Independence Relye has the following special from Vienna: ‘Austria, like other powers, considers that the peace conditions require great modification as regards the aggran- dizement of Servia and Montenegro and the retrocession of Bassarabia.” Russia’s demands in regard to indemni- ty are deemed inadmissable because tend- ing to propitiate the occupation of Bul- yaria. Austria will immediately send a note to the powers on these points.

As a matter of interest just at this time, when so many persons are being hauled up for failure to list their poll taxes, we publish in full section 20, chapter 155, Laws of 1876-°77, referring to this matter, as follows: “That County Commissioners shall in- sert in the abstract of the tax list of each township the description and valuation of all property not given in, with the vame of the person supposed to be liable for the taxes thereon, and the names of all per- sons in each towhship liable for a poll tax, who failed to give themselvesin, and shall charge all such persons with double the tax with which they would ‘otherwise be chargeable, unless satisfactory excuse therefor be rendered; and all persons who are liable for a poll tax, and shall wilfully fail to give themselves in, aud all persons who own property, and wilfully fail to list it within the time allowed, before the list taker and the county comunissioners, shall be deemed guilty of u misdemeanor, and, on conviction therefor, shall be fined not more that fifty dollars or imprisoned net more than thirty days.” Section 21 provides that the County Commigsioners shall have power to ex- empt any person from the payment of a poll tax on account of both poverty and infirnaity. . ‘ This latter section, we take it, gives the authorities discretionary power to exempt from prosecution those who are known to be unable to pay the tax. There is no question of the propriety of enforcing the law iu all cases where the parties are able to pay, but it will do the county no good to prosecute those from whom there is no prospect of realizing the money, even though it may be justly due. The design of the law is to put funds into the county treasury, and prosecution in such cases as referred te will have just the opposite tendency.— Wil. Star. -_- COST OF THE NEZ PERCES WAR. (Washington Star.) The President has transwitted a state- inent, in response toa resolution of the Senate, showing the cost of the late Nez Perces war. The statement shows that the actual cost of the war was $931,329, of which $581,738 were expended for the transportation of troops and supplies, Accompanying this statement is a report from the commissary of general subsis- tence, which shows that the cost of sup- plying the troops engaged in the Nez Perces war in excess of supplying the same number of troops in peace was 325,- 470. —- —- Botli Houses of ‘the South Carolina Legislature have passed resolutions fix- ing Tuesday next for the election of the the Supreme Court. Judges Mackey and Townsend, two of the number, handed in their resignations to the Governor on Wednesday, which were ccepted.

In an interview Anderson stated that the reasou they hid in the customr house was to gain time ; that the jury’wat drawn to to gaiv time.

Mr. Tilden’s friends were satisfied with this arrangement becanse they thought with his wounds fresh bleeding he would have no tronble in seeuring the Demo- cratic nomination, and Senator Conkling doubtless thought that with the control of the patronage he weuld easily shelve Mr. Hayes and become the Republican candidate. ‘The cause which prevented an attempt at carrying this plan out was the distrust felt by Mr. Conkling’s adher- ents, on the Republican side, of the car-_ pet bay Senators from the Southern States. They were all ready enough to slaughter Hayes, beeause they bad become alarmed at sume o€ his utterances, and at Grant’s declaration, but it was feared that instead of supporting Senator Conkling they might vote for Morton, as they probably would have done.” New OrveEaNs, Jan. 28.—The Superior Criminal Court was crowded to-day when the three members of the returning board, Messrs. Anderson, Casaanave and Kenner, were brought to the bar. The counsel for T. C. Anderson filed a motion for change of venue, alleging that he could vot have a fair trial in this parish, the prejudice against him having increased in the last few days. After the argument Judge Whitaker stated that the jury had been drawn in a most impartial manuer, and was composed of honest, conscientious men, of unimpeachable character. What could the accused demand more? The court had said Friday that it would net be trifled with, and considering the motion for a change of venne as an attempt at delay, the court deuies the same. The defence took a bill of exceptions. The Attorney General renewed the motion for a seyerance in the trial of the aceused. He said the State had wished to try the ease of the State vs Wells first, but as he had not come forth he would move to call up the case of Thos. C. Anderson. Judge Cullom, of the counsel for the defence, opposed the motion for a severance, as it would only be detrimental to the accused, depriving them of their combined peremp- tory challenges. The court granted the motion for a severance, and the case of Thos. C. Anderaon was then fixed for trial. Witvesses were called and the em- panelling of the jury was proceeded with. a REGISTERED TOBACCO STAMPS. Green B. Raum, Commissioner of In- ternal Kevenue, has issued the following circular to Collectors : “Collectors are hereby informed that it has been decided to prepare all registered stamps for tobacco ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and sixty pounds; each coupon representing the tax upon one pound of tobacco, so that where manufacturers desire so to do they can cover any package centaining not less than ten vor more than seventy pounds with oné stamp and the coupons attach- ed.

PORTRAITS ENLARGE “3 - the most finished style of crayon drawing ns rom PHOTOGRAPHS, ty, as fair a spot as the sun shines on, but with the taint of the leper upon it, and so left alone in the sea. Five hundred years roll along, and a dozen wayfaring men of the East, speak ing an Oriental tongue, and wearing the grab of an order of Monks unknown in Venice, came to this city and asked its hospitality. They had a strange story to tell. The hearts of strangers opened to the pilgrims, and they were taken kindly in. Their leader, Mekhitar, was an Ar- menian, born in Asia Mivor. In child- hood he was tanght by the Monks of Garmir-Vauk. He grew up to be a priest, and traveling widely im Asia, he preached the Christian religion, especially to the Armenians. His sacrifices and toils in this service wore marvelous. At length he went to Constantinople, and, being compelled to leave, he retired to the Con- vent of Passen, near to his native place. Here he rose to be a distinguished teach- er; a wonderful example of heroism in the midst of the plague. Aguin he appeared in the city of the Sultans, preaching the union of all sects in the one Charch of Rome. And when they would not listen to his words, he formed a society of meu of his way of thinking, and set up a print- ing press to issue good books among the people of the East. His piety and labors excited persecution, and he fled with his companions to the Grecian Morea, then under the Venetian government. At Mo- don a regular Order was founded, with a convent andchureh. Butthe Turks came dewn upon the Morea with fire and sword, and drove the Monks of Modon from their home, which was plundered and destroy - ed. They took refuge on a Venetian ves- sel and begged a passage to the city long known as the Queen of the Adriatic, and the favorite of St. Mark. They found a welcome in the Republic of Venice. To the new Order of Monks, thus suddenly intredaced, the Senate granted this deso- late island. There, on the spot where, five centuries before, only lepers had a home, these persecuted and weary wan- derers pitched their tents, and were at rest. Some rains of oid buildings remain- ed, and these were patched up for tempo- rary use. In 1740 the new monastery was completed, and the monks were able to pursue with vigor and success the benev- olent work to which their lives are devo- ted. In this calm retreat, on an island every foot of which is covered by their convent and its gardens, in sight of the most picturesque and strangely beautiful city of the world, these brethren live, labor, die, and are buried. They do not lead a life of ildeness. Teaching, preach- ing abroad, writing and printing, they are spreading knowledge among the Ar- meuians in the East, to whom they send trained men and the books they publish. I have just returned from an excursion to this island monastery. Descending the marble steps of the hotel that led into the water, we take our seats ina gondala, the water carriage of Venice. Silently, smoothly and swiftly we are borne out into the lagoon. The sun in the East is lighting up every marble palace, and dome, and pinnacle, and tower. The city, as we recede from it toward the sea, blooms with beauty, and makes real the idea of the poet that it is a flower on the sea. We glide softly to the landing steps at the garden of the convent. A monk, in the black gown and leathern girdle of his Order, bids us weleome. Kindly he leads us into the house, and presently to the library. It is rich in manuseripts and Oriental books. Portraits and busts, and monuments of illustrious men, adorn the halls and the walls. Ancient coins, papy- ras, a veritable Egyptian mummy, copies of all the books ever printed here, are shown.

Kerr, State Geologist—The Varieties of Marl, Where Found, Value asa Fertil:- zer and Cost of Transportation. To the Editor of the News: Marl is the most important mineral found in the State. It is worth more than all her other, minerals together, many times over. It is so, beeayse we are an agricultural people, or nothing; and be-| cause of its range avd durability of fer- tilizing powers; its abundance; its wide distribution; its fucility of transport to more than half the territory of the State, and because of the facility of mining it— it frequently lies on the surface. Marl occurs in above 30 countics,—from Halifax to Robeson, and eastward to the sea. It underlies the whole area of many of them, and is often of many fathoms depth. That is, it underlies about one- third of the area of the State, a territory W.C.

That owes its great fertilizing quality to the presence of three to five per cent. each of phosphoric acid and pot- ash; although some of the most popular of the New Jersey marls are mainly cal- careous. The North Carolina greensands do net contain 2 larger percentage of these ingredients, (and of magnesia) than the other marls, (less than | per cent. each) but average 15 per cent. of carbonate of lime. This marl is found in the banks of Tar river about Tarbore and Greenville, in the Neuse and tributaries about Kinston, Snow Hill and Goldsboro, on Rockfish Creek, in Pender county, in the banks of the Cape Fear and Wilmington, and balf way to Fayetteville, and in its tributaries, Livingston’s Creek, Black and South rivers. In most of these sections it has been used with great advantaye—e. g., by Gov. Clark, on the Tar, and D. Flowers and J. F. Oliver on the Cape Fear. This marl forms tie bedrock, the lowest stra tum ever penetrated in all this region, and is of course inexhaustible. The second species of marl, cocene or chalk marl, is commonly a coarse kind of friable chalk, consisting of comminuted shells and corals, of a light yellowish or grayish color to white, sometimes com- pacted into a pretty solid limestone as about Newbern and Wilmington. This overlies the preceding beds (of greensand _) It is found in abandant outcrops aboat Wilmington and in almost every river aud creek bank northward and porth-east- ward through New Hanover and Onslow to the Trent and Neuse, extendiug along the latter from Newbern to a point ten miles above Goldsbory, nearly to the bor- Seriptare, and embalmed in our rich En- | glish store of poetry aud of prose.

C.; JANUARY 28th, 1878. Dear Watchman :—Surface-seratebing is | » bane, and deep plowing is the constit- | principle of successful farming. This pposition is_so well established by ence, reason and experienee—so freel mitted by the mass of intelligent set Iturists, and so seldom disputed by men hy of debate, that we need not here ther state in detail the facts deduced om chemistry and from the fields them- slves, or stop to cavil with a few isolated pbyist beyond the reach of informetion nd convincement. b-soil plow follow the surface plow, in saking up our lands, as constantly and stomarily as it is our interest to make » blades grow where there was but ope ore, and to make two farms to “One of , » surface cultivator—one above and the or below? Itis mere negligence, want f enterprise, and lack of that complete | artist to ms B ne 5 he Bo , hich gives the faith—the abiding faith it fiction feunded on some domestic n , thorough preparation of the soul, verywhere “known by its works.” Care of course must be taken to never, ever bring the sub-soil to the top. If this is done, there need be uo fears, even | n sandy soils, of ranning too deep. That the soft, finely cut-up aud broken soil, of light texture, should be afterwards rolled or brushed down till it is firm enough to present a ready anchorage for the roots of wheat and corn, and this before any sow- ing or planting is done, I do most assured- ly believe. And the harrowing or rolling of wheat after it is up, however, much it may benefit the plant, is not half as good as to do this work of compacting the bed before the seed is put in the ground. The hard freezing weather of December and January may uproot a great deal of it be- | fore you can harrow in February—if the ground is well packed in October or No- vember and early sowed, its roots may be secure, and the frosts cutting it off in good time, it may stool ont and’ form a solid mat upon the firm surface. Deep preparation is, beyond question, the best—but, for corn and other tillable crops, the deepest cultivation, (after the revious preparation,) is not always the t. But the plow should go, rain or no rain, constantly stirring the soil and keep- me oe all the grassy and weedy ene- mies of the crop. Close plowing, with narrow, keen and bright blades is the thing—no covering up of grass or leaving | the slovenly ridge between furrows—the man that does it may get over a heap of ground, but will eventually cheat himself. ity, and not quantity, is the essential octrive of the right kind of work. And this brings to my mind the foolish custom of alloting as large an acreage as possible to each hand. Sir, if there is any one thing in particular, before all others, which has ruined so many thousands of farms, and worn out so many iillions of acres of land, here in the South, that cus- tom is the ope thing which has done it. “Thirty acres to the hand,” they say, “fifteen in small grain and fifteen in corn, tobacco or cotton.” Sir or seven acres in corn is a8 much as any one man can do ustice to, and cultivate without always ping in that time—honored but ridicu- lous fix of Aurry, hurry, hurry, rip, rush and seramble, all throngh the hot season. The man is generally a laugha- e lump of regrets and lamentations that he “‘cannot get on faster,” and ‘can’t get over hiscorn another time before it rains.” The tr horse is driven at top speed, nd, if the beast could speak, he would reprove the master, and utter a sincere prayer for winter, ands rest-time to come. Now I coutend that hurry is downright onsense, and that steady, reasonable la- or is a positive pleasure. What! En- danger your life and that of your beast, order to skim over a great half-sub- fued, half-manured, half-prepared, wild, friery, weedy, grassy, wilderness of land to make a few ears of corn and a big ile of “nubbins!” How surprising that nany otherwise sensible men will thus t, in obedience to a custom, which has poly that species of logic in it which we may heartily wish, the devil fly away vith !

Most emphat- ically is this true of the character of a good business man. ‘The word itself em- braces both truth and honesty, and the reliable man must necessarily be truthful and honest. -We see so much all around us that exhibits the absence of this crown- ing quality that we are tempted, in our billious moods, to deny its very existence. But there are nevertheless, reliable men, men to be depended upon, to be trusted, in whom you may repose confidence, whose word is as good as their bound and whose promise ig performance. If any one of you know such a man make him your friend. Youcan only «lo so, however, by assimilating his character. The reliable man isa man of good judg- ment. He does not jump at conclusions. He is not a frivolous map. He is thought- ful. He turns over a subject in his mind and looks at it all around. He is not a partial or one-sided man. He sees through athing. He is apt to bea very reticent man, He does not have to talk a great deal. He is a moderate man, not only in habits of body, but also of mind. He is not a passionate man, if so by nature, he has overcome it by grace. He is a sin- cere man, nota plotter or schemer. He does not promise rashly.

This fascinating, : SANTA CROCE AND THE INQUISI- TION IN FLORENCE. In the gallery of the Marchese’Caponi’s palace in Florence, many years ago, I _ saw a pictare that has haunted me ever since. I donot intend to see it again. It often comes te me in night watebes, when visions of distant years and cities stand up before the eyes of the soul, and say, ‘‘Here, look on me once more.” It is the picture of a woman, sitting on the floor with her hands clasped about her knees, her head sinking upon her breast:a swall lamp dying out at her feet gives light enough to disclose the truth that the fair sufferer is in a dun- ‘geon, walled up and left to perish! Who is she? Is it the horrible fancy of | tragedy? No, itis a veritable passage |in the history of Santa Croce, a chapter in the chronicles of this beautiful Flor- ence, a page in the annals of the gentle ‘and Christ-like Church of Rome!!! Shall I tell you the story ? THE STORY OF FAUSTINA. She was young and beautiful, in a humble walk of life, endowed with ge- nius, and by diligent stady she had fitted herself te give instruction to the youth of her own sex. In Florence, in the early part of the seventeenth century, the wmorals~ of | priests and people were alike corrupt, and virture was quite as rare as Solomon said it was among the women of his day. | More than four thousand nuns filled the convents. The convents were gov- erned by the monasteries that were swarming with monks. The civil power sought to separate the kindred institu- tions, so great was the scandal, but the Church was the superior anthority, and monks and nuns had it their own way. | Faustina was not a nan. It was no unusual circumstance in those days for the daughters of the proudest families to separate themselves, nominally, from the world by taking upon them the vows of holy orders. Young men fled from the conflicts of . business, and wars, and so- | ciety, to the ease, the pleaty and the | pleasures of monastic life. The garb of | the devotee was merely a cloak for selfish | indulgence, and no class of persons had | more comforts and luxnries and enter- tainments than these religious, who mere- ly assumed the life of seclusion that they might be idle and well fed without labor or eare. Such was not the spirit or the purpose | of Faustina Mainardi. Her early reading | had inspired her with a desire to lead the | young of her own sex to the higher en- joyments which she herself had found in books and the pursuit of art, and ata, very early age she gathered a school in | which she taught with the devotion and | success of one who is under the influence ofa higher motive than the pursuit of | gain. Young women under her care, in | successive years became infused with her | love of the beautifal and true; they sought | wisdom, knowledge and skill for the good that was in them, and the joy they’ give to expanding minds. The priests had their hands upon every | thing in those evil times. The holiest places of home were not too secret to es- | cape their intrusion. Then as now the | | confessional made the priest the ruler in | /every household. The master of all the | ' thoughts as well as the actions, it is the easiest thing in the world for priest to | become the tyrant of the family,and to make the weak, the superstitious and religious, | submissive to his will. Men are not as! subject to the priests as women are. In Italy to-day the men do not frequent the confessional. Women are still its dupes and victims. The serpent is creep- ing into the Chureh of England and silly | women are led captive by the Priest in | | Absolution, who extorts the secrets of the | heart by the awful lie that sin cannot be | forgiven unless confessed to him. This of Rome in all the dreadful ages through | which her power has been perpetuated among the families of the earth. Among the learned and accomplished divines who filled the pulpits and minis- tered at the altars of Florence in 1645, there was one who had won great repu- saintly and distinguished priest, the Canon Pandolfo Ricasoli, had noe difficulty in adding to his other very agreeable duties of the same natare, the spiritual oversight of the school of which Faustina was the teacher. It was the sad bat too natural result of this association that she who first sought in the priest a guide and helper, pouring herheart and soulin to his ear, as her confessor, should gradually come to make known to him those romantic feelings and passions which would never have ripéned into evil had they not been inspired and stimalated by a crafty, de- signing and uuprincipled man. Under his despotic power, her conscience was perverted and she became his tool and ac- compliee in thecorruption of the young and tender minds committed to her care, As out being good.. Is sueh a quality attain- able? Most assuredly so. It is not born, | it ismade. Character may be formed, of | course then its compotent parts may be | molded to that formation.—Portland Price Current. their spiritual director he received their “vonfessions,” and as the innocence of their simple vatares was opened into his ears, he poisoned them, and se led them into sin and misery. Alas! for the depravity land the guide of her soul, it is right to | say thatthe sin was largely his,and that he ‘was pronoaneed and carried into im- of human natare. Shame it is that such — a fact should be on record in the annals of any church, in any age of the world. This proad and wicked priest the con- fessor of these young women, was, by the | Jaws of his church, and in spite of his own | depravity, sachSwas the power of saper- | stition over him, constrained to confess the secrets of his soul to to a brother priest! How the plot thickens, and the policy and craft of the Church are displayed as we trace the system in its successive steps. The Canon Ricasoli revealed in confes- sion to Father Maris the pleasures in which he was indulging in the school which it was his daty to watch over with pious solicitade: he knew it was very wieked for him to abuse his sacred office, and the confidence r posed in him by the had led this bad life with the knowled that if he confessed his sins in secret he would have absolution : to return to his sins and be again forgiven. In the weak- ness of his vanity, it had never occurred to the learned and popular Ricasoli that his standing in Florence had excited the euvy and therefore the hatred of his brethren, who would rejoice in his down- fall. The secrets of the confessional were regarded as sacred even iu those times of general corruption, but there was nota priest then, as there is not a priest now, who would not use the confessional for the good of the Church, though the ruin of individuals and families might also be the result. When Father Marius had the eloquent Canon Ricasoli in his power, he was not slow in betraying him to his su- periors. At this period, the Inquisition was in oe 2 i . » | the same fate, and t vigor. Father Marius informed against | Ricasoli, aud he was brought before the | dreadful court. Faustina was arrested also and with Ricasoli corrupting the minds of the young women of her school. If the words of the blessed Master had been addressed te the judges not one of them could have said a word against this erring woman; “let him that is without sin cast the first stone.” But the occasion was too good for them to lose the opportunity of showing zeal for mor- ality, and in an age of general dissolute- ness among priests and people they re- was accused of | solved to make an example of the priest ané his victim. When we remember the power which a priest now has, and then had, over the conscience of a weak and gentle and contiding woman who looks up to him as her teacher, her father in God ; should bear the punishment which human | Bat the Inquisi- ttitude tribunals woald inflict. tion never knew the a of mercy. | It lived only to destroy. Its proceedings were the most part con- ducted in secresy, the most profound. Into their gloomy chambers Faustina was taken for examination and the rack would have stretched her joints with torture had she denied the charge. But what had the poor thing to do, except toadmit, as she did most freely, that she had been guilty of every thing of which she was accused ; she had obeyed tle priest whom she hon- ored as one who had the Spirit of God, and she now bewailed her sin and surren- dered herself to the judges. The Refectory of Santa Croce is the largest hall in the convent. It is in the aame state now in which it was in No- vember 1641, when it was the scene of Faustina’s condemnation and sentence. At the end of the long room is a painting of the Last Supper, by Giotto, admired as one of his best preserved and masterly works. Above it is another picture, the Crucifixion, and at the sides are frescoes of Saint Benedict and Saint Francis. They have all been on these walls more than four hundred years. In the centre of the great hall @ms raised a platform or scaf- fold, hung with black drapery as for the exhibition of a corpse. The [nquisitors were seated in elevated chairs around it. The Cardinal, the chiefs of the Medici family, priests, nobles and dignitaries of the city, filled theroom. On the platform iu the midst of this assembly the guilty priest, Ricasoli, and the miserable Faus- tina were placed: they were dressed in robes painted all over with hideous devils and flames. Then they were made to kneel before the Grand Inquisitor, while a Monk, in a deep sepulchral, voice read aloud the crimes which they had com- mitted and had confessed. The sentence mediate exec ution. Underneath the chambers of the In- quisition, was a row of dungeons where wretched victims were confined to wait their trial, and to which those were con- signed whose fate was to escape the pen- alty of death, aud drag outa miserable existence in these subterranean cells. No light peuetrated them. Air enough was allowed to protract their sufferings. These dungeons are now to be secu in many old castles, and palaces and prisons in Enrope. It was not uncommon for a feudal lord to have some of his enemies in dungeons underneath the floor on which he and his family were feasting. I have been in many of these cold, damp, dismal cells and have wondered how frail women or even strong men could endure a mouth, not to speak of years in such a horrid den, with scant food, the stone fluer the only bed. Into such a dungeon Faustina was led. It was but six feet long and four or five ee — ot. ers . eer 1% ood = uC, -* 4 . e rian : s # #4 3 a a }.tf i tg Pa Sa Toe aee ee — feet wide.

That the sanitary condition of a coun- try is endangered by the removal of its forests is a well established fact which it needs no argument to prove, and to this we but add the additional fact that de- pleted forests will finally, eventuate in rendering the most fertile country upon the face of the globe unfit for the dwell- ing place for man. This fact is well es- tablished by reference to the present con- dition of those portious of the earth which from the earliest ages have been the hab- itation of man. It is with extreme diffi- culty that we can realize that Asia, as de- scribed by Herodotns, the father ef histo- ry, is the same land we to-day behold it. When we remember the great multitudes which once populated the vast extent of territories which are to-day arid deserts, the thonght comes home to the thinking mind with resistless force that man—reck- less and destructive man—not only war- red upon himself, bat also upon nature, with the consequence, as we behold them, of making a fertile country a howling wil- derness. This has evidently arisen from the long-continued destruction of the na- tural forest, and stands as a startling cor- 'roboration of the fact that forests are essential to the well-being, health and | comfort o1 man. But in a continuance of this thought— the present condition of Palestine stands out in flat contradiction of the Bible de- scription of a land “flowing with milk and honey.” Nine-tenths of the country into which the Israclites were brought by Josh- ua, is to-day aninhabitable, and will pos- sibly remain so to the end of time, being nothing but a continuation of rocks, mountains and sandy deserts. Where now are the vineyards and cultivated hills of Palestine? Gone after the once dense and health-giving forests which fell under the ‘‘axes lifted up upon the thick trees.” —VPsalms 74:5. Aud so we might point to various por- tious of the Old World in support of the fuct that removal of trees will eventuate in the death of both man and beast. In journeying through Northern Michi- gan in the past two months we have been struck by the evidence of the slow bat sure process of nature’s death consequnt upon the removal of forest trees. In eon- versation with old settlers we learn that the average rain-fall is yearly becommg less where the forests have been removed. The waters in the streams have fallen to p insiguilicauce where twenty years ago a rushing torrent was continuous, This may be considered trifling, but it is indic- ative of the sure result of depletiug our health and life-giving forests without re- storing the same by the planting of young trees. The above which we take from the Lum- bermau’s Gazette, is petinevt inw double sense to many of the Southern States. It is an established fact that a country dries up when disforested ; it is also true that if trees be planted on arid wastes rain will soon fall and vegetable life will renew its activity. This has been proved in Egypt where a fertile tract has been formed out of the desert by artificial planlations of date trees.— The South. The above shows the negessity of fence laws to save timber. Every means possi- ble should be adopted to stop the de- straction of timber in this country. ———__- It is said that Governor Hampton, of South Carolina has forwarded requisitions for the arrest of Senator Patterson to the Governors of Maryland, Delaware and Ohio, through which the Senator will pass on his way to Pennsylvania, to visit Old Simon Cameron. ‘The friends of the Sen- ator thiyk this action shows a “want of gratitude” for his service lately rendeted in seating Senator Butler.

All this is admitted te be fruits ef the internal revenue tax. But while it is such, it is not because the tax is a large one, but because its require- ments are of that formal character which compel concentration. A less tax would act in a precisely similar way; and with the advantage that where there are ten factories run, there will be twenty if the tax is reduced one half. Many who can- not pay twenty-four cent can pay twelve cents. And the multiplication of small factories, gives better evidence of the life of the people than the erection of such colossal establishments as the. Lorillards, boastful of the payment of a tax of ten million dollars, and insolent in its demand for the extinction of its petty rivals. This government was made for the many, not for the few.

Neat Dow’s New Pran.—Neal Dow has introduced a felony bill into the Maine Legislature which he fondly hopes will be more effectual than any of its predeces- sors have been in preventing the sale of liquor. The sale of liquor is to be pun- ished by a fine of $200 and six months’ imprisonment at hard labor: second of- fence, a year. No liquor is to be brought into the State even for private persons. People are to be held: responsible for li- qaors found on their premises, and the burden of proof as to ownership rest on them. Apparatus for selling liquor is to be deemed evidence of guilt. If a teamis found drawing liquor, the horses and ve- hicle are to be confiscated. Common drunkards are to be sent to jail for a year, but released on conviction of the seller. Drummers for liquor houses are to be fin- ed $1,000 and imprisoned for a year. Officers ebtaining convictions are to be paid premiums. And so on, and s0 on. General Neal Dow’s legislation has in twelve years increased the county taxa- tion at Bangor from $12,000 to $60,000, while the number of arrests for drunken- ness in the city has increased .from 222 at fhe passage of the Maine Liquor law to 770. In 1870 there were 332 arrests for drunkeness at Bangor; in 1872, 417; in 1874, G43 ; in 1875, 704, and in 1876, 770.— New York World. a HOW SILVER WAS DEMONETIZED. Mr. Tharman said in his speech last Thursday : “I say, then, it was not by the coinage act of 1873 that the dollar of 412} grains was demonetized. It was done by. the passage of the Revised Statutes in 1874, As I have said,. at. that time the silver dollar of 412} grains was fall legal tender for all debts; public ard private. But what was found in this book [Revised Statates] after it had passed without read- ing—after it had passed as I saw without | ever the package containing’ the bill being untied on your clerk’s desk, but the bill simply read by its title; what was found in it ?” He then goes on tosay that silver was thus secretly demonetized— ‘ “Without, I ventare to say, ten men in either body every kuowing that there was any such thivg in the bidl.or would bein the law.” . tildes 9 That ought to settle that disputed qnes- tion.

It isestimated that at least one-twentieth of the thou- sand million postage stamps annually used by the American people are washed and re-used. The greatest ingenuity is exercised in collecting these stamps, aud all sorts of expedients resorted to to ac- complish the result. The punctual at- Ftendance of. boys and girls at the New York Post-office daily, picking up .every envelope thrown away by persons open-' ng their letters in the office, has often attracted attention and provoked the cu- riosity of inquiriyg minds; but few per- sons would imagine that the envelopes thus securod yield from fifteen to twenty dollars per thousand, though such is said ‘to be the fact. The cancellation is easily removed by the use of a little castile soap and tepid water, judiciously applied.

Kerk, Esq., has been spoken of as a gen- tleman eminently well qualified fur Judge of this district, and those best acquainted . with him as a lawyer and a man, will — urge his claims. Personally, we believe he will do nothing himself to - @btain the nomination. He belongs to the achool which taught “let the office seek - the man, and not the man the office;” and one each mexim violated to gratify party favor- ites, and has learned by experience that there is little chance for those who stand by it, we apprehend he is too fixed in this good old doctrine to depart from it now. Yet his frieuds have made him work in every canvass for the last 35 years, and he did it gracefully, but there were al- ways others more eager than he to re- ceive the offices. If they ever expect to make ainends on this scere (and we think they ought), now is the time to do it; and it should be done handsomely, and with due regard to the unquestionable merits of the man. _ So At the request of Hou. W. M. Robbins, the P. O. Department has ordered the establishment of a new Post Offiee at or near Dr. Luckey’s to be called “ Villa Franca;” and has also promised soon to put service on the newly autherized line from Rowan Mills to China Grove, through the country, via Millbridge and other points,—thus better supplying mails to several populous and newspaper-reading neighborhoods of Rowan. We thank Maj. Rabbins on our own part and in behalf of the citizens of Rowan, for the interest he _has shown in the improvement of the mail facilities of our people. These and other recent mail arrangements, though inexpensive, will greatly coutribute to the convenience of the people. P. 8. Maj. Robbins, with some of his colleagues, has also obtained a tri-weekly mail from Salisbury to Wadesboro, in place of the present semi-weekly. ae The Eastern War.—It will be seen by the news reports iu this paper that it is probable the Eastern war is not yet at an end. The meanest aspect of the whole matter is the part England, Austria and other European States seem disposed to play now that Russia, at immense cost, has conquered the Turks. Without firing & gun or spending a dollar, those States now step forward and claim the right to coutrol the terms of the peace arrange- ment, or to share the results of Russia’s ,, Vietory. The civilized world ought to prote:t against such a preposterous _flaim. England’s declared neutrality was alla sham and only equalled by the per- was over. ee State Convention.—The papers begin to talk of the next State Convention, and Raleigh, Greensboro and Salisbury have been mentioned as suitable points at which to hold it. The Raleigh News will not insist on its being held in that city, and it was held in Greensboro only four years ago. Salisbury is the best point. We have few aspirants here and not one of them indecently eager for an office, Salisbury is easily reached by Railroad both from the East and West, and the accommodations here equal to those at any other point in the State. We have two excellent Hotels and a generous pab- lie who will give delegates a cordial wel- come. —-———2@ibo —- --- A SWINDLER, Holloway vs. Haydock.—We have a let- fey from Dr. Thos. Holloway, dated Lon- don, England, January 9th, confirming a Feport sept us by Messrs. Dauchy & Co., of N, Y., tothe effect that J. Haydock, the man who represents himself as the U. 8, agent for the Holloway Medicines, is a swindler and a scoundrel, He is a eounterfeiter of the Holloway Medicines, palming off on the public worthless trash; und he is a swindler of the country news- paper press in engaging them to publish his advertisements and then refusing to pay for the same, ne — A Welcome Visitor.—We had a call on Saturday from Mr. A.

Lane denied that the vote was necessary to strengthen the hands of the government. The. whole object.in ‘ninth judi-) calling Parliament together had been earefully concealed, The government felt that they had isolated the country, de- prived it of the power to use ita influence and reserted to the of the money vete to bolster up their in- finence and authority. went Mr. Boarke, the under secretary for the foreign department, said if he were to speak without reserve he was sure there woald not be a single opponent to the vote. Nobody could look at the map of Europe without recognizing that there was much truth in Mr. Layard’s assertion that the Russiau terms amounted to the destruction of Turkey’s empire in Europe. it was obvious that this involved prob- | of the greatest magnitade. It rested with the decision of the House whether lasting peace should be secured or one made which would be productive of future wars. r The government asked for the vote not as a.wur measure, but to enable them to exert the influence of the country, not only on behalf of England, but of all Eurepe. Sir Michael Hicks Beach trusted that the great Liberal party would not be led to paralyze the arm of England at a time when it was more than ever necessary that it should be ready to maintain the honor and interests of England and the freedom of Europe. The debate was ad- journed to Monday. Versalites, Feb. 2.—In the Deputies a discussion of the validity of the action of the Conservative deputy gave rise to intense excitement, M. Gambetta and Rouher accusing each other of the respon- sibility of the disasters of France. Lonvon, Feb. 2.—The Standard’s Vien- na dispatch says it is already decided that after signing the armistice, the con- ference shall meet in Vienna. Prince Gortschakoff has given the nature of the Russian assent thereto to the Austrian embassador. The Post annoanees in an official form that there is no positive intelligence of the signing of the basis of peace and arm- istice. There was, however, ground to believe that the terms would be signed to-day. St. PetersBurG, Feb. 2.—The corres- pondent of the Times thinks the probabili- ty of a speedy peace is vot increasing, as Russia insists on treating directly with the Porte. while the Eugland and Austria resolutions amount ro intervention. The Jow nal de St Petersburg says if Turkey were a civilized power, caring for the interests of all her subjects, the pres- ent occupation of her provinces might compel her to make peace, but as cireum- stances are otherwise, the conclusion of peace is hardly possible. Lonvoy, Feb. 2.—The Times’ Vienna special says: ‘What has hitherto passed between England, Austria and Prussia is only preliminary to discussing in what way the interests of Europe iv the East- ern question are to be takeu inte consid- eration, and in what manner the powers are to exert their legitimate influence on the settlement of the said question. Rus- sia, it is true, has disclosed her readiness to discuss matters, but beyond ‘this all is mere conjecture. Brusse.ts, Feb. 2.—The Journal de Brussells of to-day announces that it has received a dispatch from Constantinople saying that an armistice was signed yes- terday. Loxpon, Feb. 2.—A special from Paris to the Pall Mall Gazette, says: ‘M. Gambetta declares that any engagements made at Kezanlik, modifying the trewey of 56, are nall. The Russian conditions te M. Gambetta declare that except the demand for indemnity involve flagrant violence to that treaty, the French inter- ests in the East, he considers, have hard ly changed since ’56. M. Gambetta insists that the war can only be terminated by a European congress.” A Rome speciai to Pall Mall Gazette, says: “The proposal of an Ltalian al- liance with the powers which are opposed to Russian aggrandizemeut, but at the same time guarranteeing the freedom of Christian nationalities is most favorably entertained here. The Pope and Cardi- nal Simeoni, the pontifical secretary of state, have agreed as to the necessity of encouraging an alliance of Italy with Eng- land, France and Austria. St Peterspcro, Feb. 2.—Russia has accepted Austra’s proposal of a confer- ence for settling European questions re- sulting from the war. The place of the conference has not*been determined upon, bat it will probably be in one of the small- er States. The basis of the Russian peace conditions have been signed. Panis, Feb. 2.—A telegram from Cairo announces that the Grand Vizier of Tur- key has telegraphed to the Khedive that the protocol of the armistic are ready for signature. The Sultan telegraphed to the Czar accepting the peace conditions and asking the Czar to stop the advance of Russian troops. The Czar replied that he was abot to give orders to that effect.

Brooks is a young gen- tleman a little above the medium height, with blue eyes, light hair, fair jand high cheek bones. He is modest in appearance, and, while giving all the in- formation in his possession Tespecting the of the terrible tragedy were narrated with downright simplicity and evident truth. Mr. Brooks was born in Philadelphia, is 23 years of age, residing at present in Germantown; Pa., about six miles from Philadelphia, where he has 4 wife ahd child living; was married in 1875; is a bricklayer by trade, having served an ap- prenticeship of four years with Messrs. Weatherstine & Kupp, his time expired in 1875, Hehas lately been in the employ of George Waterhouse; was out of em- ployment when ‘he leafued that Messrs. P. aud T. Collins, generab railroad contrac- tors of Philadelphia, were employing men to go to Brazil to work du tunnels, arches, &c., he called ou them, solicited employ - ment, and, satisfying them as to his abili- ty as a workman, was ‘taken on and made foreman of the gangs that started to Pera, Brazil. From this we learn that the ill-fated vessel had net gone very many miles when it was discovered that the movements of her machinery produced a general jarring which made them anxious respecting her arrival at ber point of destination, when it was learned that her seams were wid- ening, and the water forcing its way into the ship, and that if she continued on her perilous voyage the combined efforts of passengers and crew could not save her from sinking forever out of existence and the precious lives of those on board from a watery grave, and it was determined te beach her. JOY AT SIGHT OF LAND. When the news was broken to the ex- cited crowds who were swarming her fat- ed decks, eagerly waiting to hear the probability of their face, loud cheers arose from that immense throng and rang out above the bowl of the fearful gale that was driving them on, on to that fatal beach on which but a few short weeks before had perished the Huron’s gallant crew. Land, to the Metropolist’s anfortunates, seemed, from the joy beaming in their faces and the prolonged shouts that rent the air on the announcement of its dis- covery, a panacea Tor all their present ills, and could not have been more welcome to Columbus's yearning voyagers. Angry billows, madly surging and boiling, and breaking between them and it, to plunge into which was death to so many, scemed toeuter not into their calenlation. A | leap into the water, a few bold strokes, solid earth, and wife and little ones be again'clasped in their loving embrace. This hope of safety accounts for the cheers with which the poor fellows had hailed the announcement of Jand, which, in their minds, was associated with safe- ty. This is the third time Mr. Brooks has been wrecked. In 1869, when quite a lad, Curio” from Philadelphia, and wheu off pened to the vessel which rendered her without material damage to crew or bark. llis second veuture was in the steam- ship Preciomium, bound from Philadelphia to Hong Kong—this time as a sailor be- fore the mast, and it was on his return trip, having on board a cargo of teas, spices, &e., that the vessel was driven ashore iu a gale in the Chiva sea and com- pletely wrecked, the crew barely escaping with their lives. Continuing his statement, Mr. Brooks, in his oww langnage, says: We had only three woman on board, one of whom was the wife of the chief en- gineer, the other the wife of a Mr. Harri- sion, the steward. ‘The third one’s name was not known. I, together with 220 laborers aud a crew of 27 men, all told, left Philadelphia, about 4p. m., on Monday, January 23, and lay in the Deleware river until 9 a. m , Tues- day, Jannary 29. At the breakwater we left the pilot, and Mr. Conley, clerk to Mr. Collins, who both wished us bon voy- age. We then proceeded to sea and all, to use his own words, was joyful. When several miles out from the break- water, at ahout 5 o'clock p. m., the First Mate (name unknown) found the ship had sprang a leak, and the meu were imme- diately put to work throwing out coal to lighten the ship, After getting off from 930 to 75 fous, and being then anable to find the leak, Captain Ankers ordered all the fires out. On Thursday morning about 3 o'clock all hands were called to raise sail, and the ship was headed direct- aud then their feet would again press the | he sailed as cabiu-boy in the bark “Young | the coast of Australia an accident hap- | helpless; bat, being almost within sight | of shore, she sucteeded in reaching it| hands to put ou life preservers as the ship | was making water very fast and putting | ia our bare feet, with nothing on but shirt and drawers, we came to the Currituck Light-house Club.

After getting on dry clothes we proceeded to the wreck, accompanied by Mr. Jones and four men belonging to the Life-Saviug Station, who carried amwu- nition and a mortar. We followed the beach and fonnd it covered with bodies and portions.of the wreck. Upon getting opposite the ship the MORTAR WAS PLACED IN POSITION and a line was thrown over the topsail of the vessel. The under current was so strong, however, that it snapped the lines. They aguin fired two more lines towards the ship, but failed to hit it. These three shots exhausted all the ammunition, and the men, finding it useless to expect any help, commenced trying to swim ashore. We fourteen men on shore then formed a chain and advanced in the water to aid our unfortunate shipmates. Of the first five who tried to swim ashore we saved {four. The men then commenced leaving the ship one and wwo at g time, until 26 inen were saved by us. About 12 o'clock Thursday, the shiy commenced to breaking to pieces rapidly. At that time all that was left was the hurricane deck over the saloon, with, as I could judge, one hundred and tifty men holding on the rigging. I then left the beach and went to the club-house, pick- ing up a suit of clothes on the way, which I put on to save wyself from unnecessary exposure, although they were very wet. [ then took the boat with Mr. Jones and went over to his neighbor, Mr. N. H. Hampton, where I got my supper and staid all night.

CHARLES - HOTEL /R@ Servants Polite and Attentive, Pasi. - PROSPECTUS OF The Davidson Record The Davidson Record; well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public went of the business men and of the interests of the cornty. The time has come when. almost every county finds it indispensable to have a public journal of iis own to represent its inter- ests in the various afftirs of business, local and general, There is no county in the State that would not be greatly benefited by a journal within its boands especially devoted to ihe pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appeals very: stro ly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it serves; and every citizen should ‘give it his countenance and support it Jiberaliy, as a means of increas ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the more beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for its support is far less than the material good it does, itis the best invest- ment any county can make, The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to his readers the facts of the sanve. The undersigned pledges himself to be trne in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good, As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- live party. He believes that the efforis of this party in 1876 wrenehed from the grasp of tyr- ants and corrnptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776.. The d was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, buat the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative proved itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people. While that ports bape! continue more pure and traly pat : any other, he intends to be fuliv identified with it.

The wreck was caused by the ship being unseaworthy. She eprang a leak about 12 o'clock, midmght, and stranded at 7 o'clock a m, January 31. The only way of saving life was by ran- ning ashore, as the vessel was in a sinking condition. This is the statement of Lou MeGuillan, one of the saved. 8 a. m.—The state of affairs this morn- ing is terrible. Dead bodies are lying along the beech fora distance of two miles. They are all being placed in pro- per places, back from the beach, and the living are beiug cared for. About one third of those found are dead. Two sa- loon womenand theirhusbands are known to be dead. Eight oat of the fourteen foremeu are also known to be dead. W AsHINGTON, Feb’y 1.—The signal ser- vice reports that the Metropolis, Captain J. H. Ankers, left Philadelphia at 9 a. m. 29th of January, and changed pilots at 11 p m at the breakwater. At 8:30 pm the ves:el started a heavy leak in the rudder case. Finding he could not gain ou the leak with the pamps the captain concluded to lighten the steamer by throw- ing overboard coal, and to bear away for Hamptou Roads. At midnight the cir culating pump gave out. At 3 am a heavy sea washed over the vessel, carry- ing away the smoke-stack, boats, engine room doors, forward saloon, and letting in a large quantity of water below. The ship was completely unmanageable. Fin- ding that nothing could be done for the vessel the captain atiempted to reach the beach, in order to save what lives } could be saved. At6 o'clock she made | the beach. At that time the fires went | | outand the engines stopped. “By this time the war between Turkey and the Hellenese hus netually broken out. The Turks seem to bave expected this, for a Turkish man-of-war has been ordered to Athens to take off the minia- ter. Thus the Eastern question has now been raised in its full extent.” Lowvon, Feb 4.—The London -corres- pondent of the Manchester Guardian, telegraphing to that paper last night, say s: “The document sigued at Adrianople tends to increase public distrust, aud if Russia were not pledged to refer certain eondi- tions to a conference, public sentiment would take a more decided shape than dis- trust. The Liberals have not heretofore been hearty or unaninioas in sapporting Mr. Forster's nmendments to the gover- ments motion for the supplementary. The signature of the armistice will per- haps not decrease the government’s mas jority but in any cireumstances it will probable exceed 100. The government may endeavor to counteract the effort of the armistice by some announcement con- cerning the terms of the protocol. If they are deemed unsatisfactory, the govern - ment will not hesitate to say se. The feeling to-night is far from hopefnl.” St. PeterssurG, Feb. 4.—The Czar, yesterday, after the inspection, addressed the troops as follows: “TF congratulate you npon the armistice, the satisfactory conditions of which are dne to to our brave troops who proved that for them nothing is impossible of accomplishment. We are still. however, far from the end, and you must continue to hold yourselves prepared until we obtain a durable peace worthy of Ruasia.” Public opinion here, and even more at Moscow, regards the projected conference with disfavor. Some of the papers speak of the conference as a mere device of the Earopean powers to deprive Russia of all she gained after so heavy an expenditure of blood and treasure, without themselves spending a farthing or losing a man. Vienna, Feb 4.—The cabinet yesterday issued a formal invitation to the signatory powers of the treaty of Paris, to send rep- resentatives to a conference to be held at Vienna. . Se DIED.

Hi Ba. Cantwell. eae ont ne ance sereeeeere We take from Hon. Ed. Cantwell’s ar- tiele on “Early Times in the Carolinas,” some extracts which present matter en- tirely new fo most of our readers, His Atlantis” is new to us. Our historieal researches have never reached further back than about 6,000 years, bat Mr. Cantwell has found out things nine thou- sand years before the time of Plato, EARLY TIMES IN THE CAROLINAS, I, TRADITIONS, It is difficult to comprehend the incre- dulity with which any accouny of the an- cient Atlantis was formerly received, But that, upon the space between America und Europe, where only the broad Atlan- tie now rolls, and the vast meadows of Saragossa mantle its restless bosom with a green foliage, there formerly existed a eountry larger than Africa, and surround- ed on the south by groups of islands, be- tween which and the other continents of the globe communication was ab least as rapid and frequent as now, is demonstra- ble apon the samp testimony upon which rests many of the most interesting discov- eries of modern science, Nine thousand years before the time of Plato (Plat. Timeus p. 24 seqq, ed. Bip. vol, 9 p. 296, seqq,—Id, Critias, p. 108) this was the seat of an imperial race, whose sway extended over Africa as far as Egypt and dominated in Europe beyond even Italy to the Tyr- rhenian sea. Puring a violent earth- quake, which lasted a day and 4 night, and was #tcompanied by inundations of the sea, Atlantis disappeared and naviga- tion between the Eastern countries and the West waa suspended for ages (Ibid). The Phenicians of Carthage were the first after this to venture past the Pillars of Hercules and revisit the coast of Western Africa. Here were situated the numerous Tyrian cities, estimated by Strabo at three hundred in number, whieh were de- stroyed by Pharusians and Nigritians (2 Cosmos 132). From this coast to Brazil the distance is estimated by Mr. Seyboth at one thousand seven hundred and nine- ty miles. I also learn from him that at a distance ofa few miles only from the African coast there is a perpetual egrrent setting westward by Brazil to Hatteras, with an initial velocity of three miles per hour. This current indicates one of the two directions by which, after the catas- trophe of Atlantis the European race first became acquainted with North and Cen- tral America. The existence of Atlancis has lately re- ceived unexpected corroboration from the discoveries of modern science. Immedi- ately below the chalk aud green sand of England a fluviatile formation, ca'led the wealden, oceurs, whieh has been ascer- tained to extend from west to east’ two hundred English miles, and from north- west to southeast two hundred, with a thickness of about twe thousand feet. ‘These phenomena, says I,yell (vol. 4, p. 908), clearly indicates that there was a constant supply in that region of fresh water, such as might be supposed to have drained a country of the size of Atlantis, and which must have contained within it a lofty chain of mountains. The catas- tréphe to which I have alluded interrapt- ed the intercourse between the West and the East for ages. The next most authentic mention of Ameriea occurs in the traditions of the Irish! “They claim to have visited and colonized this eountry in the early part of the tenth century. Probably it was about the year 982 Ari Marsson, of the powerful-tcelandic race of Ulf, thesquint- eyed being, driven by storms southward, reached the coast of North Carolina, and there met a settlement of white men, aud was there baptised by them in the Chris- tian faith. The country was then called Hvitrammannaland, or White Man's Land, avd Jrland it Mikla, or Great Ireland, and was inhabited by a people who came orig- {ually from Ireland on the eastern side of the Atlantic by the southern route via Cupe Bajador, in Africa. They extended their ‘settlements dnd conquests north, along the American coast to Iceland. In the’ oldest Icelundic documents the earli- est Inhabitants of that island are called “West Men who had come across the Western Sea” (Kimmir til vestan wm haf), and ‘the Northern antiquaries say that these men were Iyishmen, from Carolina and Virginja, who had first settled there, 1008; neaily five hundred years before the voyage of Columbus, North Carolina wk visited and described by Eric Kundan, and in 1170 by Modoc, the son of Gwen Guineth (Humboldt, 2 Cosmos; pp, 133- 235). - * * . * .

About 1735 they mustered six thousand warriors. ‘The Catawbas dwelt ov both sides of the Wuteree. In 1743 they had four hundred warriors. The Santees, Hooks and Backhooks, Winyaws, Pee- dees, Waccamawa, Kadapaws, Weenees, Waterees, Chickasaws, Waxhaws and Saratoes dwelt nerth of the Santee and east of the Wateree Rivers.

In the course of it, the question being on an amendment (which was adopted) to strike out all after the enacting clause and insert “that a reduction of the tax on distilled spirits is inexpedient.” Mr. Robbins. Mr. Chairman there are one or two things which IJ, as a member of the Committee of Ways and Means, desire to say on this resolution. One thingthat J denot wish forgotten is that the dfiginal r@#élution, if passed, will wot of itself redqee the tax on whisky in } bond Untest furtlierlegislation fs had, such whisky will have to pay ninety cents tax. So, if the House passes the resolu- tion as originally reported, it will still be in the power of the House to prevent the tax on that whisky from being put below ninety cents, if such be its wish. It is necessary, then, Mr. Chairman, for this House to-day to pass the amendment of the gentleman from Massachusetts, [Mr. Butler,] whieh says in effect that you shall reduce the tax on whisky in bond below ninety cents ? W hy not leave the Ways and Means Committee, now en- gaged in perfecting a measure of revenue, after looking over the whole field, to do whatever is wise and proper in this as in every other particular? Why tie their hands and say, You may fix the revenue system, both internal and external; but this one thing you must not do? Sir, if it is a wise and fair way to act in refer- ence to everything else, Why not permit us to perfect our report also in this re- ——— Ss ee THE YANKEE COLONY IN BURKE. {F rom the Burke Blade.) The yankee colony, nive miles above Morganton, is slowly but surely assuming the dignity ofa town, and although the village bas not as yet reached either the size or importance which its projectors had hoped for it, still its prospects are very bright for the near future, as ita outposts are being manned by the very best senti- nels. Since our last visit Mr. G. F. Chase, from Maine, has purchased a farm on the extreme southern borders of the town site, and is now making necessary repairs pre- vious to en g somewhat extensiy into the nursery busi Mr. Barker has pareashed as handred an teen acres on the eastern borders of the town. He will engage in miscellaneous jfarming, sel ie means and ex ience, we Sha Sappoiuted ifta” course of a year Or two, he does not show our people a fair specimen of the best class of New England farm and farming. Mr. Barker is a native of Hampden coun- ty, Mass., where superior farming is the rule. Mr. James Grover, also from Hampden county, Mass., has purchased a small farm just north of the postoffice, where he intends, by the thorough know- ledge he possesses, of changing the color of things, to change his acres of poor red clay into that black, greasy soil, which fruit and potato bins. machinery, and planer and matcher, with sundry small saws. The ereé- spect ? As to the proposition of the gentleman from Ohio, [Mr. Foster,] to substitute for | | this declaration that the whisky tax shall not be reduced, I will say simply this: We are urged to vote for that in order to | settle the question at once. We will soon | vote on this proposition aud we will settle the question equally well by voting it | down. By that means we will indicate our purpose to redace the tax on whisky | and declare to the country that we will | | sustain the Committee of Ways and Means en such a report. Mr. Chairman, why not leave your com- ) mittee having this important subject in | charge—I do not ask it merely as a cour- \ tesy to the committee, but out of respect to the great interest involved-——-why not leave the committee which, T may say, [| believe, without any impropriety, is now almost ready to report to this House a well-considered and much improved sys- tem of revenue, exterpal and internal— why not leave the committee free in all these matters to perfect their bill, and not say beforehand they shall redace the tax Why limit their action on this or any other item? If we can show the tax on spirits or anything else can be reduced, and such reduction will not hurt anybody, nor hurt the revenue, nor op- press any class, what objection ean there be to it ? But we need not bring in now the ques- tion of reducing the tax. Why not allow these distillers the extension of time pro- posed in the resolution for paymeut of the tax? Their market being destroyed for the present by the agitation on this subject, why should we compel them to pay this tax at once, and thus force them to invest immense sums of money in taxes which they will not be able to realize upon until you have unfettered their market by final action on the bill soon to come from the Committee of Ways and Means. This is the first time I have ever been told that it is a wise policy on the part of this Government to tax one of our own on spirits? revenue productions asmuch as it will bear without being utterly crushed. If that is the true principle of taxation, I have yet to learn it. Here is a tax upon one of the indus- tries of this country, and yet you say that the true principle is to increase the tax until that business shows signs of death. This is not my view of the subject. My idea is that you should leave a margin of profit for every occupation; not load the horse down till you see his back is break- ing before you take off some of his bur- den. Should we, necessarily, tax spirits nine - ty cents per gallon because that will bring $52,000,000 revenue? It is by no means self-cvideut that we ought te exact that much revenue from that industry merely because we can doit. Ithinkit well worth inquiry, at least, whether we may not ad- just taxation upon that interest more fair- ly and equitably, as compared with other subjects of taxation, so as to make the public burdens fall more equally upon all. Leave your Committee of Ways and Means free to do this if they can. ~__- 7 A few days ago two ladies were cross- ing Loss creek, Ala., on horseback, one of whom carried a baby.

He arose, but looked for a moment very confused. All he could say was: ‘The little shoes, they did it!” With a thick voice, as if his heart was in his throat, he kept repeating this. There was a stare of perplexity on every face, and at length some thoughtless young peo- ple began totitter. The man, inall his em- ‘barrassment, heard this sound and rallied at once. The light came into his eyes with a flash—he drew himself up and ad- dressed the audience; the choking went from his throat. ‘Yes, friends,” be said, ina voice that cut its way clear asa decp- toned bell, ‘‘whatever you may think of it, 've told. you the truth ; the little shoes did it! I was a brute and a fool; strong drink had made me both, and starved me into the bargain. I suffered; I deserved to suffer ; but I didn't suffer alone—no man does who has a wife and ehild, for the woman gets the worst share. But f nm no speaker to enlarge on that; I'll stick to the little shoe. I saw one night, when I was all but done for, the saloon- keeper’s child holding out ber feet for her father to look at her fine new shoes. It was a simple thing; but, friends, no fist every struck me such a blow as those lit- tle new shoes. They kicked reason into me. ‘What business bave I to help clothe others with fineries, and provide not even coarse clothing for my own, but let them go bare %” said I ; and there out- sidé was my shivering wife and blue- chilled child, on a bitter cold night. I took hold of my little one with a grip, and saw her ehilled fect !, Men! fathers ! if the little shoes smote the, What must the feet do?

The Executive Committe of the State Board of Agriculture held a meeting yes- terday and perfected arrangements for the exhibition of her products of our State at Paris.

L. L. Polk, at this city. The collection of artieles will be taken in charge by the U. 8. Government, as the State has made no apprepriations to de- fray expenses. The gentlemen of the committee will use their best efforts to make the display of the products of the “Old North State” on this great. oceasion in every way creditable and worthy. The finest, most perfect specimens or eumples of the following are requested to be sent by the owners, producers or man- ufactarers: gold, silver, copper and iron ores, coal, miea, corundum, barytes, soap- stone, kaolin, marble, whetstone, grind- stones, asbestos, flexible sandstone, woods and marls, wheat, corn, rye, oafs, buckwheat. rice (both upland and low- land an in sheaf,) millet, cbhufas, honey, wax, sorgham, peanuts and their oil, dried fruits, Irish and sweet potatoes, preserved fruits, brandies, whiskies, wines, leather, sumac, turpentine, rosin, shingles, staves, articles made of cedar, sugar caue, silk, jute flax, broom corn, grasses, wool, long moss, hominy, maple sugar, &c. If our people will put their shoulders to the wheel we can make such a display as shall serve better than all else to show the outside world our manifold advanta- ges and unlimited resources which meed just such advertising.

It appears that Victor Emmanuel was somewhat superstitious. When hearrived in Rome, on June 3, 1874, he manifested a curious fear of passing the first night at his residence in his Palace of the Quirinal. He expressed his fears to his intimate friends, saying that he knew that if he went to sleep that night in the Quirinal he would never awake. However, he went to the palace that day, saluted the crowd from the balcony, dined there, and after appearing at the royal ball, retired at midnight to hisown apartments. His friends wondered, and it was_ shortly seen that his superstitious feeling had conguored.

The following original and suggestive resolutions were adopted at » public meet- ing in Hanover eounty, Va., some days ago: : 1. That our people have been so mach impoverished by the reckless use of artifi- cial fertilizers, reliance on worthless la- bor, extravagance in eatiug, drinking, and dreas (endeavoring to maintain ante bel- lum customs and habits), idleness, indo- lence, and dissipation, that we really believe that they are umable to bear a heavier burden of taxes than they vow labor under. 2. That many of our fellow -citizens and a majority of our legislators have exer- cised their minds and directed their ener- gies fer so long atime in devising ways and means; plans and schemes, devices and aubterfuges, to evade the payment of debts, we verily believe their thouglits can run in no other channel; and any serious proposition to meet an honest pecuniary obligatien would be esteemed by them as an evidence of demoralization as conclusive as fulling from grace. 3. That the gloom and despendeney have settled like a faneral-pall up- ou whieh our people have been greatly inerensed by the puerile “motions” ; the pointless, windy, and egotistical speeches; the selfish and uncompromising condact ; the waste of precious time, oblivioasness to the vital emergencies of the hour, and dallying with the patience and confidence of the people, by our legislators. me It is learned that the rise on- the rate for cotton from Soathern ‘cities to the North, agreed upon by the several main lines, and which was to have gone into Lord Derby, foreign minister, in response | effect on the 25th of January, will surely to a question put by Lord Granville, said the difficulty regarding the entry of the fleet would, he believed, soon be over- come, and that three other powers had asked for firmans permitting their vessels to enter Turkish waters. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 11.—The Sultan invites Grand Duke Nickolas to spend a| few days in the city. Safal and Sadik Pashas will go to Adrianople on Tuesday to negotiate a treaty of peace with Gen- erals Ignatieff and M. Nelikoff, formerly ambassador and first secretary of the Russian embassy at Capstantinople re- pectively. - _-_-*-- WASHINGTON, FEB’Y. 11.

Count Sehouvaloff has been ordered to explain te Lord Derby that as the great powers have determined te send their fleets to Constantinople, Russia is obliged te adept similar measures, but Russia has uo in- tention of aggrevating the situation.” The Times, in a leading article, says a portion of the British flect will preeeed to Constantinople; that it is unavoidable after what has occurred. ‘The leaders points out that Lord Derby emphasised bis statement that the other powers may not consider it necessary to avail them- selves of the firmans for the admission of their fleets, although they had applied for them. Itis possible, therefore, that the British and Russian fleets slene may be preseut at Constantinople, Such a posi- tion would be que of the gravest auxiety. Everything way tary wpon the eharacter of the Rugsjay occupation. 4 more de- monstratiye eeeupation, as thet_of Paris, ought not to be regardcdas alarming, but an oecupatios ig foree with neq apparent lim- it in peigt ef time would throw gpon our government very graye responsibility.

The tomb at Mount Vernon containing the remains of Washington, has been con- nected with the mansion by an electric barglar alarm, which will give warning if any attempt is made to enter the tomb.

C., S M LANIER, Proprietor. fas-Servants Polite and Attentive. 45:1f. PROSPECTUS OF The Davidson Record The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public went of the business men and of the interests of the connty. The time hascome when almost every county finds it. indispensable to have a phblic journa! of its own to represent its inter- ests in the various affairs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would not be greatly benefited by a ‘journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a Paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it serves; and every cilizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, as a means of increas- ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and-abroad, The. stronger it becomes the more beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for its support is far less than the material good it does, it is the best invest- ment any county can make, The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the dity of the editor of a. newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions ofpublic coneern, and give to his readers the facts of the sane. The undersigned pledges himself to be true in this regard, _He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; byt by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his nal con- victions are most decidedly in aceord with the views and feelinga of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to. that gained by the fathers of 1776. The danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people. While that party shall continue more pure ahd truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it. But the main design of The Record is to serve the connty of Davidson in all the ways it may be possible to advance her interests and pro mote the welfare of her people. And to this end the undersigned desires such intimate Te lations with her citizens as shall enable him °° perform his duty efficiently. . The paper will be published weekly at 5! * year in advance. It will be small, but neatly printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes to make up in quality what may be lacking |" size. The first number will-appear about the first week ge i ery respectfully, Cc. ii.

A wonderful deal of good often comes from what Solomon calls “a word fitly spoken.” The Hebrew for “fitly spok- en” here means ‘set on wheels.” All our words are set on wheels, If they are good words they are wheeling on for good. if they are evil words, they go wheeling on for evil. Remember this. One day a boy was tormenting a kitten. His little sister, with her eyes full of tears, said to him, “Ob, Philip, don’t do that; it is God's kittten.” That word of the little girl was not lost. It was set ov wheels. Philip left off tormenting the kitten, but he could not help thinking about what his sister said. “God's kitten, God’s creatare—for He nade it,”he said to himself; “I never thought of that before.” The next day, on his way to sehool, he met one of his companions beating un- mercifully a poor half-starved looking dog. Philip ran up to him, and before he knew it, was using his sister’s words, saying, “Don't, don’t do that, Ned ; its God's crea- ture.” ‘The boy looked ashamed and tried to exeuse himself by saying the dog had stolen. his dinner. “Never mind,” said Philip, “you shall have half of mine.” So they went on their way to school to- gether, andsdon forgot all about the dog. But Philips words had been set on wheels again, and much good was to fol- low them. Two persons were passing just as Philip spoke, and they heard his words. One was a young man in prosperous busi- ness in a neighboring town; the other wasa ragged, dirty, miserable looking creature. He had got into the habit of drinking, and, in consequence of this, had just been dismissed by his employer, and was going home feeling very unhappy and despairing. “God's creatures,” said the poor fellow, and it séemed a new idea to him too. “If that dog is God’s creature, then I’m God’s creature too, and He will help me-if no one else will.” Just then he came to a tavern where he had been in the habit of wasting his mon- ey, and then going home to abuse his family. He stopped a moment—the temp- tation was very strong to go im, but the new thought was stronger. “No, I’m God's creature,” he said to himself, “Tl goin there no more. And he went on toward home. Ilis wife was astonished to see him come home sober, and still more when he burst into tears, saying that he was a ruined man, and was determined to give up drinking, and ‘try, by God's hetp, to be a better-man. Just then a knock, was heard at the door. Tt was the gentleman of whom we have just spoken. He had heard Phillip’s words, too. They were words of wheels to him. They were rolling atter him. He could not get away from them. “This is one of God’s creatures, too,” he said to himself, as he looked. at the ragged man who was walking before. “He looks as if he needed help,” he went on to say, “and perhaps I ean give it him.” This led him to follow the poor man to hishome. He offered him work. This was thankfully received, and faithfally done. The poor fellow kept his good resolution. He was never found in the tavern again, but became a sober, indus- trous, useful, happy man. And the sim- ple worda which that little girl set on wheels when she spoke to her brother were the means of doing all this good. inl le ete THE CHILD’S LAUGH. There is no day so sacred but that the laugh of a child’will make if holier still.

Nor can we trace the preeise'step by which eur peca- liar measures ef mutaal relief in sickness and distress, and provision for the burial of the dead, and eare for the widow or the orphan, grew up among our predeces- sors. But knowing that it was an insti- tution originated by common circumstan- ces of want and providence, and cement- ed by social feelings frequently indulged until they warmed into a fraternal glow, we can readily imagine how great prin- ciples would be suggested, and measures for carrying them out be successively im- proved. They were toiling laborers, iv a land and under a government where hard- handed industry is less esteemed than here; where distinctions of rank and wealth are greater than we have ever known. Their @aily labor barely sufficed to procure them daily bread. When sick- ness came, gaunt and terrible want was not far off. When ealeulating wealth re- fused them the privelege to toil for bread, they lacked means to seek employment elsewhere, and suppert their fami- lies meanwhile. When ou the bed of dis- ease or death, none could spare time te smooth the creased pillow, or moisten the fevered lipa, or speak calmless to the de- lirious mind. When they looked forward to the close of this “fitful, feverish” life, beyond it was only a pauper’s coffin to be pressed into a pauper’s grave into which to be huddled out of sight without a breathed prayer over the dead, or a whis- pered text of hepe and consolation for the living. And for the surviving partner, and bereaved children no futare was pre- sented, but trundliug them from parish to parish until they were thrust into the vice and infamy of the alm-house; or, perhaps, thrusting them into the streets, to grow up beggars or criminals, if they did not earlier perish in the gutter. Such ,were most probably the circumstances and prospects of not a few whocommene- ed our Order, devised its first crude meas- ures of relief and burial of the dead, and based the whole structure on the Father- hood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. Feeling that Rank and Wealth would degrade them if they could, they resolved to support and aid each other, and to con- tribute weekly a portion ef their scanty earnings for that purpose. Feeling also how sectarian and party strife estrange men from each other, and render them powerless and abject by sach divisions, | they excluded all such topics and dis tinctions from their meetings, and resol y- ed only te know, to labor for, and to love cach other as men—as Brethren.—Rer.

There is a certain well-kuown gentle- man, a resident of Ward 1, who not Tong ago was the hero of @ little episode which is altogeter too, to be allowedtd sink into new ess Obscurity. M8 had been passing the evening at a friend's, making one of a merry eucher party, and when he reached his own residence it was quite late—in fact, past 12 o'clock. On entering his sleeping room he noiselessly andressed and crept into bed very quietly, in order pot to awaken bis wife, who was apparently calmly sleeping, wrapped in pleasant dreams. The gentleman was glad to think his better half, instead of sitting up for himy as was her custom though agua his repented had retired, so took especial putns not dis- asleep himeelf. _ It was broad daylight when he awoke the next morning, aud the motionless fi,- ure beside him showed that his wife, usu- ally n quite early riser, had not yet got up. He thought it strange she should not be up, and stranger that she should be so soundly sleeping; but feeling still too sleepy to say anything, he again consign- ed himself to slumber. The sunlight was streaming into the room when he again awoke, and still his wife was sleeping be- side him. Putting his hand on her head and playfully catching holdof a lock of her hair, what was his surprise te find a whole head yiéld to tis gentle pull, lady looking into the room through the partly opened door, told the gentle- man there was sometli some- where, and, rising i eee he soon discovered that inatead of slee ing with his wife the night had been reposing by the ofa “dam- my,” whieh a eee ofhis bosom had skillfully deeked out in all the parapher- nalia of a sleeping Venus, How the story got abroad isa mystery, one thing ia tain, the gentleman who slept with the institution, id involved in obscarity.| YOU tT tae en r of the Odd-Fellews’ Lodge as 8 ewatnhe evenings may be spent.” In 1788, a8 we pwd learn from his Biography, James” Mont-}* while a sudden burst of laughter from a| ™ 4 a 2 well Aol he .

They are like the mass of mankind, and the mass of farmers—firing too much in the air and around the bash—their aim is toe indirect and scattering and fussy— they don’t go straight for the big game and the best game and what they’re sure to kill, as Colonel Crockett did. They have no—what d’ye call it—system—that’s the word—no plans under the heavens. They're going along, like the Gipsy— phere to is quite a secondary consideration.

And what are books and maga- zines and papers but the talk of the mul- itude rippling over the paper? How ma- py men do you meet in aday who are worth listening to? And how many farmsare just like these ks, and books, and papers—things all pat of time and place—all confusion ; lit- tle good being done, from one season to mother, and most of the concern taking swift gallop down ‘hil! ail the while? The hillside is cleared and allowed to be plowed and washed away before the bot- pin is ditched and fenced. The bottom is not planted soon enough after the fresh- pt, because it’s muddy iv there ; and a crop is lost, which it takes the owner of the place live years to make up; buying corn every year, The hands are gone toa marek or a frolie—perhaps to hire to some- body else—in the height of the corn-work- ing season, when General Green is mareh- ing double-quick night and day, and when their labor is worth not less than three and, perhaps, as much as five dollars aday in their own crop—blest if they arn’t working sometimes in the next field at fifty cents a day. The fences are annu- ally repaired with brush and poles till ve for it is “aguinst the religion” of many wart laborers to strain themselves hing rails. The cows are never penned er shedded, the mauure is seattered and lest, and it takes halt as much more to feed ying in an extra cold winter.

Well, in manycases isn’t itso? Much of itis thefarmer’s fault, and mach alsois to be attributed to narrow-mindedness of the | enstoms ander which he lives—enustoms which grind him down under the highest taxes and the lowest possible prices for produce—customs which have made the ng men leave the farm, with its mete for something nicer in town— eustems which make railroad magnates | and politicians to roll in wealth while the | honest son of toil is struggling vainly for a bare living—customs which have | i only “go back to the | | country can fight its great nance trou- ‘00 learn. | all | land practical. matter | thee. old eee natural philo- | mankind, Certain poisnoas medical they hold neither ont nor in any longer; ' ereatures, not to speak of half of ’em | VOL Lx THIRD SERIES a aes the bles with fur better prospect of ultimate triumph.

BY BpOBy eT ‘I Ww hevetore'te' the wi wi wicked men are among the most aad tases to : “ to no other remedy. So certain examples of iniquity may be transformed by the grace of God into remedial forees by the contrast they furnish to the virtues, aud | the wisdom they teach to observers. King Ahaz is one of the stupendous momeuts‘of guilt in Israelitigh history. He is one of the few men in any history of , Whom not ove good thing is recorded. His | career was ene uniform and , unmitigated | stream of iniquity from beginning to end. ee one virtue or virtuous act is thought | worthy of mention in his whwle life. So: black and disgraceful waa his reign, that | when he died the indignant and revolted | Beach He is contending with God iv one + way, avd God is contending with him in another.

Often it is no wystery. It is God's striving to save the man. It is God’s faithfulnesa to his soul, at the cost of his body. - Somebody's prayers are answered in his affliction. In one of the works of a popular author of fiction, a wicked man, en in a wicked business, is represented as scold- ' ingand swearing at and beating his Chris- | tian wife, because she persists —p —in praying for him, He pret ; She shall stop praying, or he. his business. Both cannot go én togell er; one or the other must give tway,. E conscience of the nation refused him bur- | *binks be has tried itand foand itso, The ial in the royal sepulchre. Let as inquire. what lessons may be learned from the life of sueh a 9 Soma model of depravity. ‘ i: Hie éateer illustrates that law we character by which the wickedness of a man i# proportioned to the amount of holy in- | Jimence which he has conquered. We find u reason for bis extreme depravity in. the extreme facilities which he had for being: a saint, He was the son ofa godly father. youth was passed under the restraints of his holy example. He was one in a royal line whieh had been distinguished for ex- amples of illustrious piety. He had good blood. Hecamefrom good stock. He knew thathe alone, of all the monarchs of the world, held his crown and kingdom by di- vine right as king of God’s chosen people. He knew that asplendid history lay behind him, and that a more splendid fature was before him. In the line of regal desceut in which he was a connecting link, One was to appear in whom all the nations of the world were to be blessed. That ga- cient promise of God to Abraham spanned like a rainbow the royal family ot Judah. Mysterious as its meaning was, it mast have been a power of moral restraint and moral stimulus to a man called of God to sit on the throne of Judah. Said a French monarch, when once so- licited to consent to a dishonorable treaty: “The blood of Charlemagne isin my veins; and who dares to propose this thing to me?” Thesense of honorable inheritance must have been a moral power of immense significance to a monareh who stood in a line of theocratic princes. And it was not frittered away and lost in mere sense of chivalry; it was a direct and potent help to holy living before God. Suecha combination of holy influence this Judean king broke through ; and therefore he be- came the man he was. The depth of his fall was proportioned to the momentum acquired in bursting the bonds which held him. Such is the natural working of things in the experience of sin. Itis a funda- mental law of character. As virtue is proportioned in vigor to the temptatiofis resisted, 80 depravity is proportioned to the forces of conseienee and inheritance and education and example and persua- sion, and the spirit of God, which have been fonght with and conquered. This must always be reckoned in forecasting a man’s future in a career of sin. The best things perverted are the worst. Chris- tian birth abused becomes a curse. Re- ligious edueation trampled on becomes a fountain of moral disease. Sabbaths broken beeome an opportunity to vice. Natural sensibilities to religion, indurated | by transgression, become a foundation for towering iniquity. Convictions of sin re- sisted are often transformed into beliefs | of falsehood. The strivings of the Holy | Spirit quenched, become the basis of sa- tanic conquest. Devils fill the place from | which the spirit of God has been ejected. It used to be proverbial in the days of | American slavery, that the most ferocious | | overseers were Northern men who had to fancy da often true to fact. | — cannot be answered except by a m@h. Ho must be'whipped out of bis , sins or he never can-bew happy arr. 4 This is the secret of the migfortanes of many an ungodly man. The sufferings of this world are not in a ktrict sense retributive. They are dis- ciplinary. The world of retribution Mes farther on. In love, God holds the rod over many a bad map. He strikes him here, and he strikes him there. God's flail threshes him like wheat. He anr- rounds him with trouble. He heaps up misfortunes. They come thiek and fast. Life is one long disappointment. ‘Few and evil have my days been,” is his la- ment as he looks backward: ‘All is vani- ty and vexation o€ spirit.” Is not this the general feeling with which men reach old age with out the consolations of re- “Oh that I had never been boro!” exclaimed Voltaire iv his old age. But in this experience of the wicked, God is never vindictive. This is his way of striv- ing to save men from” eternal death. Sometimes he pursues it te the very last, till the grave sinner, and be passes on to a world where ligion ? closes over the incorrigible the retributive decisions of eternity dis- place the benign discipline of time. 3. The life of this depraved prince il- lustrates further the which reaches when men fight successfully against God's chastisements. ‘lu the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the Lord.” This is the fearful phenome- non sometimes witnessed in the develop- ments of sin in this world. Some men are not subdued by suffering. They refuse to bow to chastisement. The mere they suffer, the more they sin. Trouble angers them against God. They indicate their growing fitness for the world of woe in this induration of heart by which suscep- tibility to the softening effect of sorrow is destroyed. Sometimes this phenomenon ia witnessed on a large scale. Times of pestilence are proverbially times of un- usual wickedness in great cities. The great plague in London developed the vices of the metropolis frightfully. Meu patrolled the streets singing ribald songs beside the dead-cart. In the peril of shipwreck, two classes of suffers are often observed : those whom the peril subdues to prayer, and those whom it drives to the rnm-bottle. When the Pemberton Factory fell, two classes of sufferers were crushed ander the ruins ; and two seta of voices caine forth from the smoke and flames. The favorite hymns of the Methedist charch from the ope droavned the curses and im- precations from the other. Thus the two went up on these wings of fre to meet God! How like to the contrast of the two crucified thieves: “Lord remember me,” and “If thou be Christ save thyself and us!” Few things are so truthful a toachstone to the character of menas the way in which they treat the suffering which God sends as chastisement. One man turnsat its bidding and becomes an beir of glory ; extreme sin Written ‘‘Mene, mene, tekel; upharsin” in | override the convictions of their youth | snether defies it and becomes a monument blazing letters upon our institutions, na- ‘and their inherited faith in order to be- | of perdition!

The career of this apostate prince illustrates also the faithfulness of God in chastising the wicked men for their good. “The Lord brought Judah low because of Ahaz.” From the beginning to the end of his reign, he experienced the truth that the way ef transgressors is hard....Iawar ‘he was whipped all around. In alliances he was cheated and checkmated. . His people were wade captives by thousands. Nothing went well with him. His public | differ ? 4. The reign of this wicked monarch illustrates the disappointment which wieked mew experience in their hopes of happiness in sin. The historian relates ofhim : “He said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them that they may help me.”—But they were the ruin of him. True to the life, every word of it!~ Im uo more truthful figure can we express the experience of many young men living for this world alone, as itgeemstoa looker-on, 01 the top of the wave of human felicity. A rich man seems to them a suprémely happy man. A snecessfal statesman appears to have all that an aspiring man can ask for.

Every now and then he clatches ' at his breast with his fingers erying: “It. gnaws me; it gnaws me!” As he walks ! the streets among his kind, he_ thinks he finds that every man he “meets is carsed with the same snaky guest in his bosom. Each man at intervals seems to thrust his hand up to throttle the reptile. All alike’ are doomed to the hideous companiouship. * “Tt gnaws me; it gnaws me!" is the uni- | versal confession. The whole world seems to his crazy fancy to be at the mercy of ° vipers, each man warming and cherishing his own. Such a world is any world of beings | riven over to seeking happiness in itself. Sueh is this world, except as its fearful consciousness is relieved by the grace of God. Such is Self in any man er woman, when turned away from God and turned No flagrant crimes like those of the Judean king are necessary to reduce aman to this condition of inward an Perjury, arson, aewier| are not the only uor the most common precursors of snch a doom.

In | his honest hours, when he confesses the | truth to his own seul, his soliloquy is, ‘It | 7 vie | ! inward. conae ious curse. it gnaws me! 5. The career of this wretched prinee illnstrates the distinction which it is possi- ble for aman to gain in this world asa mon- ument of quilt? “He did trespass more agninstéhe Lord. This is that king Ahaz!” Sach is the reflection of the annalist, after enumerating the monarch’s crimes. **This is that king Ahaz—look at him; mark him ! let him stand in history as a monster of iniquity; let the world stand aghast at him!” Such seems to be the spirit of the inspired recorder. Weall naturally crave | One man for one thing, an- other for another; all hanker for it iv something. Anything to lift us up and out of the common herd! This is the tem- per of a world without God. It is pos- sible for a man of reckless impiety to ber conse illustrious for guilt, and that only. Some such names stand out in history, and will stand thus forever. Where all are sinnera, some become guilty above their fellows; princes in depravity; royal dukes iv iniquity: men:so like to Satan ia character that he dwells with aud takes possession of them before the time! This, [ repeat, is possible to any man. It requires no great genius or inveution. A man need not travel far and explere distant seas to gain the means of this hid- eons renown. It requires only a strong, presistent and selfish will, determined to fight God! This is the natural drift of sin. Whata scaffold is among human punishments, what hydrophobia is among deadly diseases, such may a man become among his fellow-sinners, by simply giv- ing himself to himself, and defying the rights of God. This is the legitimate ending ef a long career of alternate chastisement and sin without repentance. A Cornish proverb says: ‘He thatywill mot be ruled by the rudder mast be rnled by the rock."

The inference we are forced te draw from this fact is that, other ways of mak- ing a living having given ont, unemploy- ed young chureh members have made up their minds te try ‘preaching as..a. means of support, and that they prefer to seek places where the pay is ube best.

A writer in the Fayetteville Gazette says: On several oceasions' I bave had the pleasure of hearing Gov. Vance make political speeches, and have thought that hie ahility on the:stand was well calcula- ted to give him very enviable reputation; and such a reputation he has acquired— so much se thatthe very multitude dwell on his lips. I then thought that perhaps he, like Corwin, of Ohio, found the stump his forte; but since then every state pa- per that has emanated from the executive department of the State, or whatever else has come from him, either written or ver- bal, serves to cement the peaple atill closet to him, and produce universal ad- miration. But what is all this to compare te his literary acquirements? It was my good fortune, together with a great concourse from the city and county, to bear fall from the lips of Gov. Vance on last Friday evening, one of the finest literary produc- tions ever delivered in this State—just sach aas one will not hear oncein a gener- ation—on a subject both unique and re- markable. Unique, for who has ever be- fore heard one speak so nobly in defence of such a persecuted people as the Jews have always becn? and remarkable as a literary production, for where is the one who has given this subject such study, who is so exceedingly truthfal to history, both ancient and modérn? Where is the subject sa replete with lore and such re- search ? I presume the Governor has never de- livered any production, befure any au- dience, which was more highly apprecia- ted; and. the proof of this is that although the house was packed, duriug the entire evening the least movement could be heard over the whole house. — OO “A STICH IN TIME SAVES NINE.” Disease tn VaNods forms are superinduc- ed by the @ffstence of worms in children and dddfta: Striner’s Indian Vermifuge will destroy And expel them, thus remov- ing thie Cause? saving both life and money.

There~ ate™ottter’ thitigs pésides the weather of which people are prone to be strangely forgetful. Books of travel and adventare in for- eign lands are sought after with zeal and devoured with avidity by young people who never read with attention the won- derful voyage of Noah’s Ark, the unpar- alelled and mysterions fort, orty years cir- “suitous journeyin of the Israelites, o the extensive, daring and successful mis- sionary tours of the apostle Paul. The character of all their friends and neighbors is fully investigated, analyzed and disenssed ry DPS y, by _persons who have never be one thought upon the capabilities and peculiarities of their own individuality, and to whom the Gre- cian motto “Know Thyself” is as some- thing they had not even seen, read or of. Tis eheat and ovér-reach Rane another ‘ in trade to-day, apparently oblivious of tlie fact that their bad actions are noticed and their reputation duly black-balled by spectators and the injured parties them- selves, that in the course of time most of people will be so afraid to deal with them, they will have to.seek some other locality where they are not so well known, to earry on their infernal work of licensed deception and lawful robbery. Others bind themselves down to labor, business and study, under the most in- tense bodily and mental application, for weeks and months together, forgetful that it must all end in a premature decline of the faculties and in the sure recompense of disease and death. Thousands of dy- ing consumptives new look back with un- availing regret to their long breach of nature’s law s—to their utter banishment of true exercise, recreation and rest from their daily lite. The ardent youth, in the pursuit of knowledge, bends over the pine faggot at night and strains and ruins his eye-sight, to wear spectacles before he is forty. Hypochondriacs get into the habitual use of pills, tonies and patent medicines for the regulation of the digestive appa- ratus, forgetful that these things will aftera while undermine the constitution and establish chronic complaints, when, if they would only get out to work and eat corn-bread, the whole system would be toned and regulated according to dame Matures cure- all and infallible ageucey. Some folks starve themselves, when they-do not feel well, as if they didn’t know “disease will as certainly be enge n- dered by too little feod as by too much.” Terrible tirades these temperance lec- turers deliver against drunkards—when “gluttony kills more than drunkenness in all civilized societies.” The over-worked laborer glories in ‘not being a lazy man”—yet he and the slug- gard will both go down to the grave pre- maturely—one by wear and tear, the other by rust and rot. John Jones won't eat ment—cracked wheat, Graham bread and milk is the diet for him—be don’t live a bit longer than the, average hog and hominy fellow- searcely so long. He’s forgot how the antediluvians used to eat meat and live a thousand years. Seraphina Slick oils her beautiful hair every*morning with “bars grease” and pomatnms, not knowing these nostrums will make her lose this ‘‘glory of woman- hood” before she is in her prime. Bill Guzzle pours down his throat, along with his liquor, houses and lands, and bread and clothes for his Wife and _ little oues, Timothy Thoughtless buys lottery tick- ets—the most forgetful, unreasoning fvol of them all. Dear, unconscious mortals! Happy suicides! Content with poverty, disgrace, ill-health! How unselfish and self-sacri- ficing! How ignorant, and yet how wise! E. P. H. -— --——~—| --- THe Wispom or Mosrs.—-—After hav- ing, in his farewell address, contained in Deuteronomy, warned his peopie against all forms of idolatry, and again impressed on them the duty of moral life, he closes his paternal admonitions with the words of our text: ‘The secret things belong to the Lord our God,” which transcribed in modern words, mean. We do not know how the future life is constituted. The Mosaic books contain three words Which forever reconcile it with every pos- sible progress of science and civilization. They are, “In the beginning God created heaven and ecarth”—in the beginning. When and how this beginning was neith- ef acjence nor theology will ever be able to answer. It is'ono of the questions which will burn like the thornbush that is never consumed. And the seeond word is the answer to the question, What is God?” “I am what fam!” Let modern science, with its theory. of evolution and struggle for exis- tence advance as fur as its praiseworthy researches nay allow, it will be ordered to stand still for a final cause which un- derlies the whole development, and no better name can be given to that final cause than “I am what I am,” which again tramsiated into our modern mode of ex- ‘Pression means: “The finite man can never grasp and understand the infinite !” ae never fairly begins to prosper ds treading on its heels. growing waut of room is one of the of civilization.

This time I heeded the call, good girl to come and keep house a fixedup a nice ; travelling-suit of g stuff, and was soon ready to go : I hated to leave the three little children— eight and four—but Katie -—"- I was you whose face Thad not can fo eee |" She lived away in the far Westy f beyond the sound of the nearest loconi tive. «i Katie and the three little ones went with me down to the depot, just across the lot. I Kissed and bade them all good- by ; bat, oh! my eyes lingered so long and so lovingly upon the ai Her heavy curls of pale, shiny gold 1 ? all over her plump neck and beautifulehoulders—juast the ideal baby that poets sing of and art- ists try to paint. She put her chubby Tit- tle hands to my cheekS caressingly, and said, with the wise air of » seer—“I hope nothing will happen to-you; but I am a little ferocious there will,” meaning sus- picious. I laughed at her blunder, slightly and corrected it, telling her to, remember and let big words alone, that .oné’s language was always bestand clearest when it was the simplest and plainest. She rubbed her little fat fists over each other, and winked her éyes tightly until the lashes swept her cheeks; then catch- ing a long breath, she said —“I will be good while you are gone, and you mustn’t forget me a poor baby, without a mother, ’way off at homie.” I whispered—Don’t forget to pray for manima every time, will you ?” “I'll not forget,” she -replied, and she looked down at the little dimpled balls of fists again. “What will you say M said I. “It will be a comfort to me to know when I am far away.” She opened her blue eyes full in my face ; then bending over and tonching her forehead to mine, her hands on my ebeeks, she softly whispered—“Why Ill say, ‘God, keep mamma.’” It was a wearisome journey. larrived at the house at midnight, and my sister met me at the door, but so changed that I would not let her teuch me, and I turned again and again to the door to leave her, saying—‘‘You are nosister of mine ; I nev- er saw you before. Oh! this is all decep- tion—all pretence ; my sister isa girl, not a faded, broken woman with the hoarse voice that you have. I came to find my sister ; I want my own sister.” The meeting was very sad. Sbe would reach out her arms with pleading, and I would cry aud turn away from them like a broken-hearted, beveft little child want- ing its dead mother. I had anticipated a great deal of pleas- ure, and it was several days before I could beeome reeonciled, and feel that the strange woman was really my sister. But we had a goo visit; we lived over our childhood and our lonely girlhood ; we laughed together and cried together ; and the weeks flew by, and the time came for the rumbling old coach te take me from her door homeward. My first point was one of the largest cites In the State, where I was to stop and take a boat and go up the Mississippi riv- er sixty miles. Two fine-looking gentlemen, who seem- ed to do the talking for an honest-appear- ing hack driver, said the boat would not arrive for several hours, and that the dri- ver would take me toa quiet hotel, and from thence down to the landing at the proper time. The hotel was very pretty ; it stood back off the street, and the front of it was all draped with the gorgeous, leafy boughs of the beautifal trees that embowered it in that golden October time. I was exceedingly pleased with the ap- pearance of the place. Two ladies, who were likewise traveling alone, stopped at the same hotel. I told the porter to let my trunk stand in the wide hall with the others, that for the few hours I would stay I would not need a private room. There was a great many ladies in the parlors, but none of them were preposses- ing ; they were giggling, and fixing their curls and ribbons, and staring from the windows, and making silly remarks ; and I did wish for quiet and repese, and wo- men whe were sensible and womanly. There is nothing so heartily disgusting as frivolous women. The Odd-fellows had some kind of a meeting that day, and were parading the streets. Everybody looked at them from doors and windows, and we all stood out on the balcony and watched them pass and repass. A few hours after that 1 was sit- ting ava table reading, when a boy con- nected with the establishment came into “Your room is No. 29, you will find your trunk in it.” I said I did not order a private room, the parlor, and gave mes key, sayiug— ly. Souiething in his eye 2 cowl to.retarn the bow. His hair was quite gray, bis forehead bold and massive, ‘he was well! dressed, and wore's sash, or re” galia, or something about, or across his breast, that showed him te be an officer in the organization of Odd-Fellows. I remembered seeing him among them that day.

I know of bereft families made comfortable and hap- py through their assistance, orphans eda- cated, poor widows cared for, and many noble and generous things that the Odd- Fellows have cheerfully and kindly done,” said I. “Tam glad to hear that,” was the old man’s reply, and his steely eyes grew soft and tender. We must have talked half an hour on this subject and others that grew out of it; I was hardly conscious that I was con- versing 80 freely until he drew out his watch, looking at the time, and said —“] have sat here talking with you, an entire stranger, more than half an hour. You will excuse me if I tell you that I feel au interest in your welfare, that I think I ean do you a kindness; and on the bonor of a gentleman, I ask you to answer the few questions I desire toask you. I shall do it for your own good.” I did not know how to stand the strange man’s words ; I felt as though I was being led to the scaffold, but I gasped out—‘‘I will answer honestly any questions you may ask. I believe you are a gentleman.” “The interrogatories were—‘‘Is Ohio really your native State? Have you a home and friends? Are you a married woman’ Why did you stop at this house ft” 1 answered his questions frankly, but I kept on wondering—‘‘What will the end be?” At:the last qnestion I caught my breath hysterically, and rising to my feet, felt as though it would give me great relief to indulge in a good, noisy cry. “Sit down,” said he kindly, but sternly enough to make me obey him. ‘You think me impertinent, child, but Iam hon- est, and—so are you. I like your appear- ance, and I think you stand in need of a friend, though you may not know it now. The kind words you spoke in favor of Ould-FeHowship almost anake it obliga- tory upon me to assist you. Are any of thesé women associates or friends of yours” “No; I never saw any of their faces un- til to-day.” “Do yeu know anything of them said he. ‘Nothing. I came to this house because it was recomm emded asa quiet one, and because the boat did not connect with the train I eame in on.” “The boat did connect!” said he ex- citedly, ‘‘and there have been boats pass- ing since that one. It is just as I sus- pected, that you had been imposed upon.” I rose to my feet again, ready to go, I knew not where—and ready to ery out, woman-fashion, when the steely eyes holding mine, and the stern voice said— “Sit down, child !” \ I obeyed. “I am glad that I listened to the voice that bade me come and talk to you,” said he, speakip law eneugh that the chatter- sae adewar dena us eonld not distinctly hear him. “Something made me come here, Do you knew that these women in this house are of thase wha steps take hold on hell ?” I looked aroand cautiously on the glit- ering, sparkling, handsome women about me. Startled and bewildered, I put my hands ou my head, rose, and staggered off to the deer. “Stop I” said the old man, epening the door for me, and looking at his watch again ; “don’t be foolish now; the boat going up to M——-will arrive probably in halfan hour.

He treated me as if I were a little girl; he ordered a drayman to take my trunk, then, lighting a cigar, he tucked wy portfolio under his arm, and strode off with long steps, and I hurried along behind him. I tried to tell him how mach I thanked him, and how grateful I was} but he walked so fast that it took all my strength to keep my breath going. After we reached that boat, I gave him my portmonnaie, and he weut and paid my fare, and did everything for me; then we shook hands, heartily and’ cordially, and gave mé good advice, and told meal- was to be honest, and to love the true, and good, and beautiful ; and then, laugh- ing a Tittle; shdrt; Jolly, gargiliig Taagh, he said, after this, I had better not travel alone, that if my Charlie couldn’t go with me I must wait until he could go, or stay at home altogether.

A tremulous qniver sometimes thrills to my fingers’ ends when the reality of that baby vision comes up before me. It was so real then, that I almost caught her in my arms. I believe God’s angels do meet us often when we seem to stand aloue, sorrowing, and no eye sees us, and no arm is reached out to help us. +: AN EXprenrimreyt vor Bors.—Take' two string. Leta small hole be made im the’) bottom of each ean, throngh whieh the string, say fifty to one hundred feet in length, is passed and secured. Then Tet the experimenters set up their telegraph by choosing their stations as far apart as the tightly stretched string will permit, and while one operator holds his ear to one of the cans and his companion fis mouth to the can at the other end of the line, they will find that a conversation can be carried of, so that low tones, and even a whisper, will be distinctly perceptible. What usaally most astonishes those who make this experiment is that the sound does not seem to come from the person speaking at the other end of the string, but to issue from the can itself, which is held to the ear of the listener. This at first appears to be a deception, but it is really not so. The ear tells the exact truth. The voice that is heard really comes from the can that is held to the ear of the hear- er. ‘The voice of the speaker commnuni- cates sounds producing vibrations to the wall of the can with which his voice isin immediate contact. These vibrations are ed that they no longer affect she ear. | A person may stand by the string while the sound is passing, aud yet hear nothing.

Nothing oc- curred, howeyer, to make an outbreak, until on the FATAL NIGHT OF THE KILLING. On this night there was a country held at the residence of Mr, Hambri Kate's father, Miss Cowart was invited and was present. It is said that when the ball opened. Mrs. Southern went, to ber hasband and asked that. he would not oither dance with or speak to Miss Cowart during the evening. He appeared to agree to thia, and everythiug went on smoothly until late iu the night. At about 12 o'clock young Southern ap- peared in a cotillion, with Miss Cowart as his partner, This seems to haye en- raged jis wife, who at once walked up and said that he had promised to dance that set with her, or that she wanted to dance it with him. He made some re- sistance, and it is said that Miss Cowart protested that she had a right to dance with Southern, as she had known hima leng time. We learn that. it is denied that she made this statement. In any event Mrs. Southern was turned away and her husband remained to dance with Miss Cowart. . DETERMINED TO HAVE REVENGE. She watched the dance fora while, and then left the room. She went to her fa- ther, who was outside of the house, and asked him for, his knife. He asked her what she wanted it for. She replied she wanted to cut a tooth-brush, Her father reminded her that it was too late to do that, She reiterated her request. Her father then gave her his knife. She took it and returned to the dancing room. She found that the.dance in. which her hus- band had been engaged was ended; but that Miss Cowart was just then in the act of dancing across the floor, WITHOUT A WORD SHE RUSHED UPONHER, and seized her U the right shoulder. Spe then Said) “You hive’ eniotigh !” With this she drew the knife from the folds of her dress and plonged it into Miss Cowart’s neck, cutting a frightfal gash down towards’ the region of the heart. Her victim was very much heated and very plan... The blood spurted from hey neek'to the wallya- distance: of: fally five feet. She staggered under the blow and fell.

The Davidson Regord, wel] known to the people of Davidson county as their campsign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public wentof the business men and of the interests of the connty. The time hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have a public journal of its own to represent its inter- esis in the various affairs of business, local and general. There is no roe in the State that would not be greatly benefited by a journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper a In very st ly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it serves; every citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, as a means of increas ing its uaefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the nore beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for ite support is far Jess than the material good it does, it is the best invest- ment any county can make, The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed in | respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to his readers the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be true in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; bat by laying before them the faets, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. A* political matters now stand, his al con- victions are most decidedly in aceord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776. The danger was imm!- ; nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, gloriously rescued the jmperiled liberties of the people. While that y shall continue more pure and truly pairiotic than any other, he intends to be fally identified with it. But the main design of The Record is toservé the connty of Davi in all the ways it may be possible to advance her interests and pro mote the welfare of her people. And to this end the nndersigned desires such intimate Te lations with her citizens ar shall enatle him + | perform his duty efficiently. The ron will be published weekly at $! * year in advance, It wil) be small, but neat! printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes to make up ing what may be lacking '" aise. The first number will appear about the first week in donee 8. : a Ns LOGAN, © : We now have a tri-weekly mail to Al- pemarle frout this place. ——?-0---— Dr. M.

Just asthe messenger reached the vestibule he met two ladies and delivered his message. As the young ladies passed up the aisle to | their seats they observed all eyes turned on them.

About two-thirds of the young men play on one or more instruments. Goit boys, it will never o you any harm, and will afford you 1any hours of innocent enjoyment. A little boy was killed in Yadkin co., st week while playing with a dog. The og ran under a rifle which was standing » the corner, and knocked it down. The iece was discharged and the contents assed through the bedy of the boy kill- | ig him instantly. We have received a programme of the first Grand Concert by the Cornet Band | f Hendersonville.

Summerell has returned from Hampden Sidney, Va., where he has been preparing himself for the ministry. He will spend a few months vacation in| this State before returning. 0 The person who sent us an account of | the Hendrix trial in Mocksville, omitted | to give his name. the window: he replied that he prefer- red not giving them. This circumstance forced the whole school to believe that | the young ladies were guilty of running | around the church and peeping in at the windows, &c, The ladies soon foand out that they were the supposed guilty ones, and were compelled, by their own feel- ings, to leave before the close of the school. guilty of the offense escaped in wild glee after seeing the innocent girls suffer for their misdeeds. ——— --Oo—— FREE PROPERTY.

The Daily Telc- graph says nothing could well be darker than the prospect. The Times in its lead- ing editorial article says that it eousiders the situation very unsatisfactory. ‘‘Ea- rope,” says the article, “is armed to the teeth and is increasing its armaments day by day. _ In such eireumstances the coun- try can bat give its confidence to the gov- ernment and trust they will be able to control the dangerous susceptibilities which have on all sides been aroused.” The Manchester Guardian publishes a Pera dispatch, which says: ‘Great aux- iety prevails here. The Russian arma- ments have passed Adrianople for torpe- do service in the gulf of Saros and the sea of Martiora.” A Belgrade dispatch to the Times says a feeling of atlimosity against Rassia is prevalent here.

A man of stature, somwhat tall and comely, with a very reverend countenance, such as the beholder must both love and fear. His hair the color of a chestaut fall ripe, plain to the ears, whence, downward, it is mere orient, curling and waving about his shoulders. In the midst of his forehead is a stream or partition of his hair, after the manner of the Nazarites; forehead plain and very delicate, his face without spot or wrinkle, beautiful with a lovely red; his mouth and nose so formed as nothing ean be re- presented; his beard thick, in color like his hair; not overlong; his look innocent and mature; his eye gray, quick and clear. In reproving, he is terrible; in admonish- ing, courteous and fair-spoken; pleasant mended the Attoruey-General to institute criminal proceedings against him imme- | diately. The proof is said to be abun- | dant and conclusive. The Governor pardoned L.

The elevator in the Grand Central Hotel, Paris, lost its balance, Sunday, and was carried to the roof with great force, killing three persons—a Russian lady, a French gentleman and a servant. —_>- Patriotism does not seem to prevail over the love of gain in Evgland to-day any more than among our Northern breth- rev during the late unpleasantness. Throughout the current anti-Russian de- monatrations, the Czar’s agents in Eng- land, the New York Suwa says, have been cooly contracting with British mauufac- turers for the machinery of the new tor- pedo flotilla at St. Petersburg, and have been forwarding British-made torpedoes to Constantinople. These latter have been principally the Whitehead, or fish torpedoes, such as were used at Batoum, and pronounced by Sir Charles Beresford, in Parliament, to be “remarkably intelli- gent--able to do anything but speak.” It is odd to see a simultaneous movement of British troops toecheck Russia and of British torpedoes to help her. Should these submarine missiles from Mr, White- head’s works blow Admiral Hernby’s fleet to flinders, some months hence, England will appreciate the supposed feelings of Byron’s struck eagle, that “Viewed his own feather on the fatal dart, And winged the shaft thas quivered in his heart.” A New York says Jos.P.

Owing to the vigorous and, we may say, com petitive system of braggastocio and fals- ification which has prevailed on both sides for the past eight years, the con- firmation will need to be farther.confirm- ed before we can prepare to believe it, The Cuban patriots in America, we may add, say they will die before they surren- der; they will sacrifice every’ armed pa- triot in the field first. te eee Peace has at last dawned for Cuba.

But it only irritated ee everything irri- ‘ that day.

But this also irritated her; everything could be beautiful save her life and that was cold, and rade, and barren. A Thompson, im the pleni- tudé of he nt umsatisfactory mood, waa tell If that it was. begin at the ning. Jane Law- rence had been an unusually romantic girl, and had gone for two years toa boarding-school. She bad always fancied she would marry some famous artists or scholar, who would take her to Rome and Venice, where she might live in a perpet- ual dream of beauty, She so loved beau- tiful things! Perhaps all women do; and that may be the reason 80 many are found ready to barter love for gold. But contrary to all her preconceived ne- tions, she married Robert Thompson, a plain, practical farmer; and instead of touring it in Italy, she went to live at the old homestead, which had, been the abode of the Thompsons for generations. Dreams and reality are so very different, you see. Robert Thompson was a working farm- er as well as a practical man, and all his people worked. His mother had worked in her day, his sisters had worked, he ex- pected his wife to work. She took to it gleefully: she had not been brought up with high notions, by any means; and at first the work did net seem so much. But every experienced lady knows how the la- bor seems to accumulate in 9 plain farm- er’s housebold as the years afte? marriage goon. There were plenty of men and boys about, but only one woman servant was kept; and Mrs. Robert Thompson grew to find she helped at nearly every- thing, save, perhaps, the very roughest of the laber. In place of lounging in elegant foreign studios, or gliding down famed canals and streams in picturesque gondo- las, she had butter and cheese to make, and poaltry to rear, and dinners to cook in the long, low-ceiled kitchen, and the thousand and one cares upon her shoul- ders that make up a busy household. Quite a contrast ; as must be admitted. With things a little different, she'd not have minded the work so much; could she have had nice carpets, and tasteful furnitgre, and books, and a picture or two, and flawera, The home wis so very hard and practical, and its surroundings were gettingseshabby. At first she had not no- tieett thia, or cared for it; but every year, as the years went on, made matters look dingier. Old Mrs. Thompson had not car- ed to be smart and nice; Robert never thought about it. And what though he had ?—it is only natural for men to as- sume that what had done for x mother would do fer a wife. In time Mrs. Robert Thompeos began te ask that some reno- vation should take place; at which Rob- ert only stated; the house that had done without paimting so dongy could do yet ; and the ald things im it were good enough for them. She did not venture to urge tae point ; but she did press for some flow- ers. There was a strip of ground under the south parler windows where a sinub of sweetbrier grew, and pinks, sweetwil- liams, and marigelds blossomed in their season. But they were old-fashioned, common flowers ; and she pined for the rare and elegant planta she had seen in conservatories and public gardens. But Robert Thompson would as soon have thoaght of buying the moon, as such tise- less things as flowers. The garden, like himeelf, was all practical, filled with eab- bages, onions, potatoes, and sweet herbs. And so went-on ber unlovely exiatence ; in which diggntistaction was becoming a very nightmare. Now and again, on those someWhat rare occasions when she went out to visit her\neighbors, and saw hew pretty many of them had things, she came home more than ever out of heart. The. worst was (or the best) there wus no Teal reason why a little money should not be spent in-making the home prettier and happier, D was doing well and y by But ander- standing had fae come into the man ; and hia wife was too meek, pethaps too. coa- ——— timid, to make trouble over wts The matter to-day— which had put her So Very much out—was this. A sewing- club had recently been established in the ' neighborhood. There was much distress ' amidst the peor laborers’ wives and fam- innit ladies with time on their ao ona Abe a nat to make ; The farmers’ wiy e neatly saked children. Ss had joined it; “re, made in the long afternoons. In lees than @ month it would be Mrs. Thompson's turn to receive the company —for the fires er the ways and means. For they met for an entertainment as well as for sewing: tea in the ware: she wanted it more than ever now. Grover, tlie keeper of the village crock- ery shop, had a lovely set for sale ; white, with a delicate sprig of convolvuli and fuchsias; leoking every bit ae good as real china. Mrs. Thompson had set ber heart on the set, and that morning had broach- ed the subject to her husband. ‘““What’s the matter with the old ones?” asked he, ‘Look at them,” she aneweted. tare frightfally old and shabby.” “] daresay the food will taste as well off them as off Grover’s set of white ware.” “Butithere’s not half enough. We have as good as none left.” “Mother had some best china. Where is it ?” * “That's nearly all gone. We couldn't put the two on the table together,” “Why not f” “© Robert! Look at this. It is the shabbiest old lot ever seen,” “'T was good enoagh for mother.” Mrs. Robert Thompson disdained com- ment. “You'd not have thought of this but for the sewing-cirele having to Come here. If they can’t come and eatfrom sach dish- es as we've got, they are welcome to stay away.” There were tears in Mrs. Thompsen’s eyes. Bat she crowded them bravely back. He took his hat to go out to his mowing. “We really ‘want the things, Robert. Those at Grover’g are very cheap. I can get.all I want fora mere trifle: do give methe money.” “Grover Ihave to keep ’em for us; I've got no money to waste on fine china,” returned the farmer. ‘“‘By the way”— looking baek from the door—‘‘Jones and Lee are coming to give me a helping band. I want to get the south meadow down to- day if I can; it’s a famous heavy crop: so I shall bring them in todinrer. Oh! and the Hubbards want six pounds of butter to-night: don’t forget to have it ready.” With these words, Mr. Robert Thomp- son had marched off, leaving his wife to her leng, weary day’s work, darkened and made distasteful by her disappointment. She was both grieved and angry. It was a little thing, perhaps, but it is the little things of life that delight or annoy. Existence seemed very bare and home- ly to Jane Thompsen that summer day. With her love of ease, and beauty, and symmetry, how rude, and coarse. aud hard looked all her surroundings. It was only one long, ménotoneus round of home- ly toil, unrelieved, by any of the little sweetnesses and graces that might make even toil pleasant. She did not often think of it; but she remembered that day, with the faintest little air of regret, that she might have been far differently situat- ed; and as she looked up to the pretty French cottage on the hill, embowered in a perfect forest ef blossoming vines, and eaught the cool gleam of urn and foun- tain, something very like a sigh trembled on her lips. “Squire Burnham’s wife does not have to beg for a paltry bit of money to set out her table decently,” she thought rebellously. And then, in her spirit of aggrievement, she mentally went oyer the other things she needed, and that Robert knew were needed. Why was life to be all toil and bare ugliness? , There was no reason ; he had plenty of money. A new carpet for the best parlor; paper fur. the walls; so stained with time; whitewash; paint ; some fresh chintz ; she remembered i-< all, as she toiled through the long, sultry forenoon with an aching head and dis- couraged heart, It happened to be wash- ing-day ; and on those days she took all the work, that Molly might not be dis- turbed in her help at the tubs. What basiness had she to marry Robert Thompson f she asked herself, her slen- der wrists beating away at the butter for the Hubbards. For in-the grim and gloomy light that Mrs. Robert Thompson looked at things to-day, she quite forgot the fact that she had falien in love with the honest, steady, \and “good-looking young farmer, choosing him in preference OR ete te oe own: two handred a yents, st least, bit of land, Which be eyo called “Squire,”'ae bis father bed been before him.

Squire Burnham found another wife, and Mrs. Thompson, this weary day, was furiously envying her. Mrs. Burnham onous was bis wife’slifeathome.

Now and again, when she gave back a short or bitter retort, Robert wondered : she who used to be so sweet tempered. All through the long forenoon, Mrs. Thompson pursed her wrath. Robert was welfish and unreasonable, ag@ tbe @id- i care who knew it. She would not have the sewing-clab at the farm, come What coming through the orchard, with ted hungry M@i@es. © Mr. Thompson always | wanted his dinner boiling hot: and she hastened to lay the cloth in the evol rovura off the kitchen. Frank and Charley, her two boys, came rushing in from school, each atriviog to claim her attention. She felt tired, heated, and very cross. “Why ! isn’t dinner ready 1” demanded Mr. Thompson, and seeing it actually not on the table,when be entered, “I told you wé had no time to waste to-day,” he added angrily, in his hurry and hunger. “If I hado’t anything to do cll the fore- noon but get dinner, I'd have it ready to time, | know.” A bitter retort was springing to her lips; but ere it could be spoken, Charley clamorously interposed, pushing his new copy-book before her eyes. “‘Look, mother! I am going into sen- tences now like Frank. It’s my first copy. The master wrote it ; and he said I was to get it by heart, too, and always remember it. Do read it, mother.” Mrs. Thompson, ber arms full of the cracked old mulberry plates, paused a moment to let ber eyea fali on the new copy. “A soft answer turneth away wrath,” was what she read. It was not that the proverb was new : she had read it scores of times; but there was something in its appropriatness to the present mo- ment, that fell like a cool, sweet wind on her heated pulses. “I will have it ready in a momeut, Robert,” she said quietly. Mr. Robert Thompson looked up. Evi- dently he had not expected so pleasant a reply. If the truth must be told, he had thought a good bit that merning of his wife's request about the white ware. Not in the way of granting it; but that she would probably be sulky over it when they got in to dinner. “It doesn’ feel here as it does in that blazing meadow,” he remarked to his friends, as they went into the cool north room to dinner. ‘Folks that can keep indoors this weather have an easy time of it: they don’t know what heat is.” Mrs. Thompson wondered whether this wasa slap ather. Her face looked scarlet enough for any amount of heat. As to sitting down with them, she had enough to do to wait on the party. It was wash- ing-day, and Molly must not to be called. “This butter mast have been kept in the kitehen: it’s like oi!,” said Mr. Thomp- son. “I took it out of the cellar since” you came in; I will go down aud get some more if you think I had better;” was the reply, given pleasantly. “Never mind. Well, I declare !—do you call this meat boiled 1” went on Mr. Thompson, as he began to carve. “It’s harder than a rock. If meat has to be cooked pretty fresh this weather, it needn't be like this.” “I tried to have it nice, Robert,” she said, striving to choke down a rising sob —as wéll ‘as a angry word. Mr. Thompson, aroused by a quiver in the tone, looked at his wife: his friends glanced at one another. She sat down at length, but could net eat. Mr. Thomp- son finished his dinner in silence. He was watching his wife's face: there was something in it he did not understand—a kind of patient, hopeless look, as, if she no longér Gated to struggle onward. The old mulberry ware did leok dingy on the snowy -white table-cloth ; ahmost too bad EBe} for these chunis Of his to sit down to: he | wondeted he had never thought so before. Robert Thompeon grew thoughtful. He passed into the kitchen when they were going out again—how hot and stif- ling it felt with that big fire—as bad as the south meadow. His wife had been init covking: that must have made her face scarlet. Indoors was not so comfortable a place, after all, if you had hot work to do, was the idea that flitted through his ‘mind, And perhaps the work was over- mich for his wife, who at best was a defi- ‘| but ps suppose, women “Yes, Bob's & Jane Lawrence said Yes to ide ee ‘to it like” sensitive—delicates any lady bat her would have turned long ago and bid him | give her proper help.

Wa# she? | The unconscious comments of these, his warm friends, came crashing: down on Robert Thompsen’s heart and brain like a bolt of fire. That she -reject- ed Burnham for him, he knew, then she came home to the old homestead, and took care of his invalid mother. Tender- ly had she dotie it, too. And—coald she be wearing out her life in hard work for him; she, the mother of his boys; eb whom he loved well, for all his churlish-, ness? Robert Thompson stole away: he could bear hig. thoughts ne longer: and he felt that he coald almost kill himself for his blind heedlessness. The afternoon wore on toward evening. Mrs. ‘Thompson had finished her indoor work—the washing up of the dinner dish- es and the putting of the rooms straight— and was going in with an armful of fine things that she had taken from the clothes- lines, when the sound of wheels made her look round. “I've brought that white ware, Mrs. Thompson,” said the brisk voice of Grov- er, springing from his cart, and lifting down carefully a large hamper. “But I didn't order it, Mr. Grover,” she rejoined, in rather a frightened voice. “The master did, though. Mr. Thomp- son came down this afternvon and said the things was te come up to you atonce. There's the dinner set you admired, and a tea set as well, Where shall I put ‘em f” “Bring them in, please,” she auswered rather faintly. He "aid as he was bid, and then drove off. Mrs. Thompson sat down by the ham- per of crockery and cried as if. her: heart would break. They were ve too, for théy washed all the wi despair from her face, and the from her eyes and heart... She forgot chat she was tived, or that the day was hot: she enly thought how kind Robert, waay and what a wicked woman she had been for saying to herself in her temper that she'd rather have had Squire Burnham. Then she unpacked the treasures, palling them out from amid the hay, aud singing softy all the while. Oh! it was .beaati- ful, that ware!—with ite clear, opaque white, and here and there a delicate trac- ing of fuchsia or convolvnlus. Mr. Thompson came in and found her in the midst. ‘“‘What is it Jenny?” he asked—-the old, fond name he ased to call her. “O Robert!” taking a step toward him. He opened his arms and drew her close to his heart, kissing her fondly and tenderly as he had in the days of his courtship. “IT have been a brute, little. wife,” he whispered huskily. Can you ever forgive me 7” “Forgive you? O Robert! I never wae so happy in my life! Ihave been te blame. I have not been as patient and kind as I might.” “Yes, yon have, You've compared tome.

Johnson, of Warrens- burg, Ul., is a boy who. has just: reached the period of boy heed, and whe is remark - ably clever in the invention of traps. Jf you were teask him te make you any. variety of trap, from a rat trap toa. man trap, he would satisfy, your demand with prom ptness aud skill, His father's prem- izes, both in doors and ont, is infested with traps and there is no style of animal inhabiting Warrensburg that has not been caught in ene or another of these traps. On one morning early in January, it is cenfidently ascertained that no less than twocats, a tramp, a small dog, six chickens and three-emall boys were’ found in Mr. Johnson's yard in the close embrace of a correspoauding number of traps. The truth is the boy has real mechanical genius, and it is a great pity that he is totally lacking in modesty and a regard for the rights of others. Last Fall a young man whe had met Master Johnseon’s sister at a picnic and escorted her home, was seized with a great adoration of Master Johnson's traps and evinced a great fondness for that ingenious boy's society. In fact, he engaged the boy to give him a series of lessons in trap- making, and seemed to throw hie whole soul into rat traps. Gradually this pas- sion began to fade, and the young man, instead of studying traps in the back yard, formed the habit of resting himeelf—as he called it—iu the parlor with Master John- 80n’a sister. The boy of course, could not consent te hurt his friend’s feelings by. abandoniog him tothe society of a mere girl, and therefore, followed him into the parlor, and monopolized the conversation, After a time the young man eperls aban- doned traps, and enly visited: the heuse in the evenings; but Master Johason, mindful of the laws of hospitality, always spent the evening in the parlor, and more than once apologized, te his friend for the silence and general nepfulness- of his sis- ter. His astonishment, when on one eventful evening the yeung man, with the full approbation of his siater, deliberately told him to “get-out,” and informed him him that if be had not sense enough to know that he was a nuisance, he , would try to. knock sense into him. .with .a. base ball club, cannot be expressed in words.— Not only did he wonder at the unscientific idea that sense can be imparted with a base ball club, but he could. not compre- hend the young man’s gndden. dislike .of his once courted’ séciety. However; he promptly withdrew and devoted him- gence.

UNWRITTEN HISTORY, The correspondent of the Raleigh Ob- server, writing from Washington city ‘tas the following to say in regard to ‘the’ appended article, <cipyee from the Néw York Sun: “The Republicans were guilty of the bad manners of interfering. in a family quarrel by calling Hewitt out. They. got, well paid for their oficiousness,. Hewitt acted his part well. He said in reply to Mr. Aiken of South Carolina, in a doubt- ing half hesitating way: The gentleman insinuated that somebody sold ont the Presidency. ‘No Northern man sold ont the Presidency, .The proposition to. sell the presidency was made to me, aad I contemptuously refused it. An.apparent reluctance, to ‘(go en” pro- “ge on” from the Republican side, while, a Demccrat serving his first, term, had the modesty to say in a subdued tone, “Why don’t the d—d fs stop their noise and let him go on.” From other quar- ters were beard cries of “the, regular or- der, Mr. Chairman.”, Altogether it was a scene peculiar to the 45th Congress, and | one that is likely to be repeated at any time. Hewitt stepped across to Randolph Tucker's seat aud a hurried conver- sation with that ‘gentleman. Your cor- respondent was near enough to hear what passed, and can set at rest the idle spec- ulation as to what waseaid. Hewitt sim- ply asked Mr. Tucker's recollection of a name, That npame-was Pickett the Envoy Plenipotentiary, sent. by Madison Wells President of the Louisiana Returning Beard, to Hewitt and with a proposition to sell Tilden the Electoral Vote of Lou- isiana. Hewitt hesitated. A deathly pallor settled on his face, His yoice trembled, His great white eyes, rolled restlessly_ in their eock€ts, A crisis was at hand. It was clever acting. The happy Repub- licans grew defiant and derisive and taunted the apparently, humiliated Hew- itt.for .a lack. of “baekbone.”,. All was quiet. Howittesia:in 5 ‘sepaichra rename “Tt wik'n call. the.

A poll tux was levied by every General Assem- bly, up te that of 1868-U), ‘utider this provision of the constitution, So far nothing was said in the orgavie lew aboat the disposition of the fund’ thus raised: that was left to the wisdom ‘of encl: tegis- ture. ’ rhijmet When the Republican party cawe into} power, in 1063, they sought to improve thie feature in our “fundamental taw, and : ordained iw the constitation'of that year;| Vegetine the following provisions, relative to the mt pell-tax + | “Phe Geweral ~ Assembly shall Vegetine’ levy esptation tax owevery male inhabi- ' tant of the State overt wenty-one and un- der fifty years of age, whieh shall be equal on each; to the tux un property valued at three handred dollars. in cash ;" “the preceeds'of the State and ceanty capita- tien tax shall be applicd to the | purpores of edacation and! the-sipport of the poor, bat in no one year slratl more than twen- ty-five per cent. therevf be appropriated te the latter purpose.” The conreution of 1875 left this untouched. Thus it ap- pears that the Republicans were the first to presoribe in the constitation the ap- plication of the poll-tax ; aud they would be entitled to some pruise for so dving, had they not stolen the funds raised. The Republican legisiatare of 1863-'6Y, levied a poll-tax of ene dullar and five- Vevetine cents, avd that of 1809-70 made it oue | egetine, dollar and ten cents. The Demoeratic | V legislature of 1870-71, reduced. this wo} nimety cents; the legislature of 1d? 72 made it ove dollar aud five cents ;) the legislature of 1373-74 reduced it again to ninety-five cents; the legislature of 1374-- 75 kept it ut this; aud the General As- sembly of 1876- down, to eighty-nine cents. Under the | Revised Code the tax was forty ceuts, and | under the Revised Statutes it was only twenty cents. But ander Republican rule | it was one dollar and ten cents. So that | the Republicans showed their love of the poll-tax aut-only by devoting it to the sacred purposes of education und charity, and then stealing nearly the whole of it but by levying the Wighest tax on the poll ever pat apott the pevple of North Caro- lings. Our Constitution, im relation to tax- ation, ia eminently wise and just. For the benefit of our political adversaries, we qtiote ‘the following from the high of North Carvlina radivalisw, en- iu his inaugural address July. 4th, 9 “It (phe Constitation) provides all property shall be taxed according 6 vilue in netey, thus edtablish- ust syetem of tixation 5 amd for the protection ofboth «the poll | and the it provides that for State and county purposes the poll-tax shall never exceed two dollars, and that this tax shall be “equal to the tax on property valted at three hundred ‘delura: eash,’—thas | bal- ancing tle land aguinst the poll-tux, and preyenting injanticn or oppression to eith- er.” And in bis first m to the Leg- jslaturée of 1868, he told his brethren that taxes for edacational purposes ‘shoald be cheerfully nnd y pial.” The propeusitien, is to abolish a orion vf taxation which bas prevailed sitice the guvérmmiéut was estublished ; which is the underlying!) support of the Public Schoojs; which bas received the endorsement of Whig, Democrat and Republican alike ; and which iu itself is just and right, as every citizen must cou- tribate soniethiug to the maiutenance of the goverument, This insane, pervicions tends the le deepare ee of magogues of the } per- : Ad, as ft strike’ AE the roots of ive, it slyodld meet with the erushing condenna- elements of the by the Convention, and will report fm fu- yor of two lines of muil steam-siiips be- tween the U. 8. and Brazil, and othet Sdnth Atberiean cities. “If established ‘it will undoubtedly resalt in great advanti- ges to this country as Well 28 ‘to - our Southern neiglburs.

Que of the amendments denies the holder of silver bullion the right to have it coin- ed into dollars free of and on the coutrary gives to the Government, instead of the holder of the silver bullion, the bene- fit of the alloy allowed by law, which amounts to about 6 per cent., and requires the Government to purchase and coin not less than two nor more than four million dollars’ worth ofellven per ere 0- vides po means by ch. the hs coined can ‘een. - '€ireula- tion. ‘Ubder this provision. there will be paid out of the Treasury for silver bulliou two to four millions per month of green- backs and the resulting coiu will be kept in the Treasury and the circulating me- dium will not be increased to the extent one dollar.

People would wore often get the worth of their money. _ .| vitatidn and send their silver-haters to .|act with oars, “Te foresee that ; mission will be organized to conv ' @. tary is authorized to issue two hundred millions of ten-years 5 per cent. coin bonds, which he is by the act of January, 1475, to dispose of to obtain coin with which to resume specie payments. It is easy to foresee that a President and See- retary of the Treasnry who are hostile to silver remonetization will pse diene bonds to purchase the silver bullion and retain the money into which it is coined in the Treasury asa fund with which to redeem the greenbacks after the Ist of January, 1879, and will only put the silver dollar into circulation as they withdraw an a amouut of greenbacks. The amendments also deny to the hold- | ers of silver bullion the right to deposit it aud receive certificates therefor, as can the holder of gold bullion, but do provide for such deposit of silver coin, but take pains to provide that sueh certificates of silver coin shall not be received iu pay- ment of the certificate ef deposite for gold bullion or coin. The effect and object of these provisions is to degrade and elevate gold—is to pro- vide for classes of contracts which cannot be discharged in silver. The effect of charging a seigniorage equivalent to 6 per cent. for the coiuage of silver bullion may be to drive out silver ballion to foreigu countries which are more friendly toward silver coinage. Aguin, the Secretary of the Treasury is ouly authorized to buy silver coin at the market price, aud in hostility to the metal he may assume the market price as such that no holder of silver bullion will sell at, and he will then contend that be did not coin: the silver because he could not purchase the ballion uta fair market price. It will be ob- served that by the act as ainended the Government is as enforced purchaser of} silver bullion to not less than two mil- lions per mouth. This provisions is lia- ble toabuse. Finding a purchaser who is compelled to buy two millions of silver ballion per moath, the silver bouanza kings of the Pacific slope aud the tinance minister of Germany, Whose country has a real or supposed redandancy of silver, might readily form a ring or syndicate to monopolize and bull the price of silver bullion te 10 per cent. above its legul re- lation to gold, aud thus compel the Grov- ernment to pay that much more than a fair price for it. Our experiences with the present Sec- retary of the Treasury warn us to trast nothing to his discreation which is oppos- ed by the gold ring and designed for the benefit of the people, aud that his hatred of silver and greenbacks, the money f the people, is only surpassed by his de- votion to gold rings aud syndicates. The second section appended by the Senate des for » commission and reference of at least three nationalities ‘to adopt a common ratio between gold and silver, but only requires the nations com- posing the Latiy uniop, many of which are bostild te silvér, to be invited to par- ticipate therein, and leaves it aera ary, with the Presiden pet er he wi invite tide te aropeak! z fae al *& cludes from invitation the Asiatic and Oriental nationalities which use silver as their only curreney.

And thea a voice—ol! far | sweeter than either of the others—sang— “my child, uly little earth child, look npon me—I am thy mother.” In & moment, what emotions swelled the bosom of the lonely boy!

He turned towards her; oh what a glo- rious being! her eyes were like stars, her hair like the most precious gold; but there was that in her face that none might se truly know. He had doubted—if the first risen was his brother, if the second was his father, but not once did he doubt that this beaa- tiful being was his own deur mother. A little while he kept down his strong feeling;.but the thonght of the past and | the present overpowered him. “O [ mother, mother, mother,” he cried, stretched forth his little hands, “let me leome to you—let me come; there is no | body in this world like yeu; no one loves | meg; ob!imother, let me come;” and the | hot tears rained down his checks. “My orphan child,” she said,:iny low | tones that thrilled him to the heart, “you | cannot come to me now, but listen to me. |T am very often very near you when you know itnot.

C. | wtf | PROSPECTUS OF The Davidson Record. The Davison Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign | paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public | went of the business men and of the interests of the connty. The time hascome when almost | every county finds it indispensable to have a | public journal of its own to represent its inter- ests in the various afftirs of business, local and general. There is nu county in the State that would not be geeatly benetited by a journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the focal aon -— community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality cal ehes of the coetton i server; aad every citizen should give it hie countenance and support it liberally, as a means of increas: ing its asefuiness and extending its influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the more beneficial it will prove; and aa the money required for its support is far less than the material good it does, it is the best invest- ment any county can make, The Reet will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed ia — to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is expecially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to his readess the facta of the sanie. The undersigned pledges himself to be true in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his renders for the sake of party or anything else; bot by laying before them the facts, as he may enabied to obtain them, will endeavor to aid.all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptioniets in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained b the fathers of 1776. The danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equa) to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people, While that party shall continue more pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends ta be fully identified with it. Bat the mala ‘design of The Record is to serve the county of Davidson in all the ways it may be pomrible to advance her interests and pro- mote the welfare of her people. And to this end the nndersigned desires such intimate re- lations with her citizens as shal] enable hit to perform his duty efficiently, The paper will be published weekly at $1 a year in advance. It will be small, but neatly printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes to make up in what may be lacking in sis, The firet number will appear about the first week in January, 1878.

Mr. VE pear Watch the Galatians, “It is good. to be zeal- thing so ‘“‘unostemtatiously wo areola heroes of ‘tninsions up: pave elicited this admiration—bave ex- torted it, as it were—from even their foes. Cruden and Elliott and hundreds of trans- Jators and scolaatie ofe all . sorts have consecrated their every book and manuscript by continuows prayers, em- balmed them with pious Pio hy, Secreta them with a hale of celest sacrifice, And, oh! ye martyrs, blessed a thousand fold! “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” No dying men Werever atebed.. many. | eyes from earth and heaven as you! “\ holy warfare, in which nothing but the most chivalrous zeal for the Master’s cause could sustain the soldiers,: was the lot of these men. But what is this christianity, for which men have ever been so willing to saffer and to dare so much, and for which we profess so abiding an affection ? On its very face, the marks of divinity are indisputable. In the contemplation of natuge, the.glowing stars almost seem to stoop front HK to whisper in our ears :—*The hand that made us ia divine.” Yet thegrandeurof the firmament stirs the heart of man but feebly béside the Book of God’s Revelation. It cannot | speak to us in all the varied eloquence of | inspired prophets, psalmists, historians and evangelists! The evidences of chris- tianity are as vast as its Author’s works, yet how great his condescension in laying | them before us by sach convincing and | irresistable methods, by the testimony of | the apostles, by the surprising variety as | P well as the time, place and witnesses of miracles, by the brilliant success of the gospel itself; by a host of other evidences which cluster around the Good Book, and entitle its doctrines to the free reception | wisdom has ever accorded them. And what is the nature of christianity ? It is two-fold—a code of the healthiest and happiest morality for this life, and a theory of sure guidance to the soul into the haven of rest hereafter. Its moral precepts are unequalled; no philospher or statesman of antiquity has now any dis- ciples except the moralists and law-givers of the Bible. The legislation of Moses now rules the wrold. Divinely author- ized and divinely preserved, it has ont- lived all systems of ethies which would endeavor to ignore it; the wild fanaticisins which would bave set up a God of man’s own choice are now remembered only as sickening tales of vanity ! How long, too, have the blessed Re- deemer’s doctrines detied and triumphed over the ravings of infidelity! ‘The es- | sence of God’s word, they are upheld by | His will. The portraiture of Christ, the “Light of the World,” “the propitiatory sacrifice,” “the Lumb of God,” the “High Priest, Advocate and Intereessor,” is enough of itself to inspire men with fer- vent devotion. The divine origin and immutable na- ture of christianity culminate in the most ‘remarkable and useful effeets apon indi- viduals and upon society. So far from uniting us on earth coutinually, so as to render us miserable, i¢ bursts the chains by which we are held captive. How many direful calamities have been soothed by | christianity! How many tears bas she wiped away ? How many hopes inspired, when there was no longer earthly room to hope? How many doors of merey thrown open to the guilty? How many supports given to innocence? If religion was designed only to console the miser- able, it was designed of course for the eonsolation of the whole human race. Paul, amid bonds and imprisonment, and on the eve of dissolution, exclaims :—‘“I desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better.” @alm and anmoved, on the verge of both worlds, he thus ex- presses the language of a steadfast faith : “T know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed to Him against that day.” Indeed much the grandest intluence of the Gospel is in the hearts of individuals; , it forms them anew; it ineulcates the ser- vice of Goa and all their dutics to their fellows; and it trains them up for a state of eternal felicity. The general effects of christianity, in the preservation of order and the preven- | tion ef erime, prove that there never was | a national sate-guard like the religion of the Bible. The “love of Christ constrain- eth men” to obedience, where human laws would not avail. Christ found at His coming, a world full of idols—the Gospel has now banish- ed idolatry from Europe, and from a con- siderable pertion of Africa, A’sia and America. The old heroic virtues, under this new dispensation, have become com- mon. The herrors of war have been | softencd, and the prisoners treated hu- | manely. The cause of the oppressed, the — indigent, the widow and the aged have beeh pleaded, and the miseries of their lot often alleviated by the most, magniti- cently endowed charitable institutions. Feeling now the true transcendant grandeur of christianity and its intrinsic Worth as an object of regard, can we hes- itate to work zealously for it? Can we ever hinder those who do? By what motives are they actuated? Ged commands them to do it—puts into | their mouths the glorious petition, “Thy | kingdom come.” That petition demands our prayers and our services, our bodies and souls, our choicest energies of thought word and deed, and, if need be, onr lives, 2s a willing sacrifice to the mighty cause of redemption. No eloquence need be brought to bear to convinee us of the value of the pursuit of worldly pleasures, wealth and honors. The mere sight of gold excites the desire for its acquisition, the wine-cup’s redness must not be looked upon even, a single strain of martial musie stirs to its depths the ambitious feeling, the darts of Cupid and the love-light from the eyes of wo- man are synonymous. And why, let me ask, is not the very mevtion of the name lreiyion, a name rendered dear to us by every association of nobility, tenderness and mercy, more intensely exciting than the most soul-stirring music? Why are not its most beautiful ceremonies, that tre sampled as it were from the courts of MAN :—When Paul wrote | than woul _ affected always in a ” pure fountain of its inspiration sweet- wy into wi c er far than all the that ever aod that of every” other led at the feasts of the kings?

ESP. a. —— ~~ - From the Raleigh News. WASHINGTON LETTER. Wasurneton, March 6, 1878. Judge Reagan, of Texas, from the Com- mittee on Commerce, has submitted a lengthy and able report providing for the is exciting mach attention and will give considered. It prohibits (1) any rail-road company, or other common carrier of in- ter-State commodities, from charging any greater or less rates of treight and charges from one than from another, and provides against defeating the intentions of the act by any arrangement to secure the sus- pose, and without intent to prevent such carriage from being regarded as contin- uous. (2.) I¢ prohibits the allowance of rebates and drawbacks in all cases of the transportation of inter-State conmodi- ties. (3.) It inbibits all combinations and arrangements, orchanges of schédules, or carriage iu different cars, or other act, with intent to preveut coutinuity. (4.) It provides that It shall be unlawful to charge more for the carriage of property, for one continuous carriage, for a longer distance. (5.) It makes the infraction of any of the foregoing provisions or pro- hibitions a misdemeauor, punishable, on conviction by a fine of not less than $1000. There are many other provisions, but 1 have given a fuir digest of the lead- ing features of the bill. Lam no lawyer, but it impresses me that the power of Congress to legislate in the premises is at least questionable, You have probably seen some aceounts ing at Alexandria before Judge Hughes, of the United States District Court,—lI inean the suit bronght by Gen. Custis Lee aguinst the United States for the re- covery of the Arlington estate, or, rather, its value iu money, for the grounds are now used as a National Cemetary. argument has been concluded, and the devision will be rendered on Saturday,— to go up afterwards, of course, to the Supreme Court of the United States for revision. It is a reproach anda shameful outrage, that restitution for this flagrant robbery by the government has not been made long since, and that the family should be driven to the Courts for redress against the spoliation, The estate was willed to the wife of Gen. Robert E. Lee. When she went South, to share the for- tunes of her illustrious husband, it was amount due, tender of payment for which because was made bat refused not by the owner in person,—and the Government bid it in at $26,800, go- ing so high that no private friend of Mrs. Lee’s could bid in her behalf. There was no proceeding for “‘treason,”—simply and only a tax-sale. If this government, bya strong hand, cannot hold the property of tion its right,—if a citizen can be dispos- seat of his property otherwise than by his own Constitution worthless and our’s is the champion despotism of the world. I have had the curiosity, this morning, to loc’< over the Congressional Directory, with a view to ascertaining thenumber of ex-Confederate soldiers in Congress. I find the whole namber to be /fifty-nine, of whom 10 are in the Senate and 49 in the House. Of these two are from Kentucky and three from Missouri; the remainder, of course, are from the Southern States proper. 8S.

I went hastily up, for 1 knew at once, from what I had heard, that these steps led to the doors of the con- cealed convent of Farnesian nuns, the Se- polte vive, or Buried Alive. Perhaps it was the spirit of adventure, certainly of curiosity, that prompted me to ascend the steps, for I could have had no expectation of gaining admission to this house of living death. Mr. Hare, ia his “walks in Rome,” had told me ‘that the only means of communicating with the nuns is by rapping on a barrel whicly projects from a wall on thé platform above the roofs of the houses, when a maf- fled voice is heard from the interior, and if your references are satisfactory, the bar- rel tarnsfround and eventually discloses a key by which the initiated can admit themselves to a small chamber in the in- terior of the convent.” Ljooked in vain for any projecting barrel, bat having reached an open gallery above the roofs of houses around, though the walls of the convent rose still higher, I entered a recess, on the walls of which were inscriptions in Lattin and Italian, such as, ‘“‘Who cnters here leaves the world behind.” “Qui non diligit, manet in morte.” In the wall was a copper plate about ove foot wide by two fect high, which I supposed covered the opening through which communication was to be had with the interior. On feeling of it, I found it was the side of a hollow cylinder, and evidently made to revolve if necessa- ry. This must be “the barrel” through which the muffled voice of the woman within would come to me, if the oracle chose to reply to my call. I knocked. No answer eame; ‘but the hollow chamber gave back a melancholy sound. My sensations at this moment were pe- culiar, and 1 began to wish that I had not come, or at least that I had brought with me some companion to share the excite- ment, if not the perils of this adventure. For the secret of this convent is that the nuns who once enter never come out of the door again, dead or alive! They nev- er hear from the world outside. No moth- er’s voice or father’s love intrudes upon this living tomb in which their hopes are buried. They sleep every night in a cof- fin in which they are to be buried, here, when they finally stop breathing. They are told, when one of their parents dies, that some loved one is dead, so that each one is to be thrilled with the sorrow that perhaps her motber or father is dead, but no onc knows which ove has become an orphan. It is said that they become so enamored of death that they invade the vanlts in which their dead sisters are placed, and fondle the corpses as children play with dolls. They have a death’s head on the dinner table, and often lie down in graves prepared with their own hands, that they may be as nearly dead themselves as they can be while yet con- atrained to live. Around me were the walls of this huge sepulchre, silent as the tomb itself, cheer- less, hopeless, the home of maduess or de- spair. It was Christmas day. The sun was shining joyously on the roofs below me, and all the glad morning the bells of Rome had been ringing the carols of the Saviour’s natal morn. The city was jubi- lant with the songs of angels, and the churches flung open all their doors to the people flocked to the choirs and the al- tars, their hearts the meanwhile shout- ing, ‘Unto us achild is born.” But no glad sound of Merry Christmas enters these dead walls: this prison house of young souls, doomed in the spring time of life to take up their abode in coffins, vaults and tombs. These gloomy thoughts of mine were destined to a speedy interruption and a sudden conversion. I knocked again, and with greater force; »then waited listening. Presently a wo- man’s voice—she must have been close by me—was heard from the other side of the copper plating, and this is what pass- ed between as: The voice (in Italian.)—“What do you wish f” “T wish to visit the convent if it be al- lowed.” The Voiee.—‘‘It is not possible for you to come in.” “I would see the convent, as I have come from a far country and have heard much of this institution.” The voice.—*You cannot come in ;” and then the woman broke out into a ringing, hearty laugh, lond and long. I was taken all aback. It had not oc- curred to me that they ever laaghed chapel. I said thatT convent, ag@ replied that i soon began to laugh ‘sister had ic ‘you want to see?” 1 said, with bc playfulnesd, “P wanf to see you” 4 merriment broke out afresh, and I verily j to the chapel, and the smaller will ypen a | and this for years, till sweet death comes ‘Better +B the English is my own She saidshe would ving the charch St. Maria in Monti, | verse with me, and whete’repose in full view the body of a | another voi tre cannontzed beggar, I watked up and asked if I would ¥ as ti Sian as =e | > thought for a moment I had won my way in the fortress by the irresistible art. The cylinder revolved, showing me that te n e t it was divided into chambers; i paut and I heard something fall npon the me/ tal bottom. It turned still more, and the open chamber presented itself te me with two keys lying in it. The voice within said, “The larger key will admit you door inside of it.” The door of the ehapel was near to me, the only door there ; unlocking it, I stood upon its marble floor, It was a simple chapel, the pictures and stools and im- ages such as are seen in thousands of Romish churches. But the marble floor was largely made of: sepalehral «slabs on which were recorded the names and vir- tues of the nans who were buried under- neath! How. sad was this obituary! What a mausoleum was here! How many weary, wretched, aching hearts had rest- ed in this cold bed! I read the epitaphe, and some inseriptions on the walls, and mused among the tombs on the wreck and ruin of young lives, tortured and murder- ed and buried here, by the terrible ma- chinery of a Charch that, through long centuries, has perpetuated successive liv- ing sacrifices of blooming Roman maidens on these altars of superstition, imposture and crime. For what is martyrdom by fire, or the wheel, or the axe, or by lions iu the arena, compared with the long- drawn-out agony of a young lady who eats witha skeleton at her, side, and sleeps in a coffin and plays. wit corpse, in person, and releases her from torment by clasping her in his cold and chaste embrace ! The little key let me into a side cham- ber, the cell or cloister of a nun, fitted up as a show or specimen, and perhaps quite unlike the real cells into which the “‘pro- fanam valgus, or persons of the male persuasion, may never enter, It was a room about ten feet square, with a chait aod table in it: beyond it a closet with a erucifix on the wall, and, still farther, a a chair; and in the wall was a perforated plate through whieh the nun is reputed to whisper the story @f her.sins into the cell just large enough to hold a person ins na coe dt Se a eo) cate sed Kral tl aul bottom of the purpdss “te | ophjoss Winter Gide iver Mriddd otltite ae ; : ' te the place sow to worthily. flea We Ransom.

When be could have been legitimately returned and admitted, most untoward combinations confirmed his exclusion, and consigned him to obscurity until that time when the people, with spontaneeus act, lifted him into the highest post of popular preferment. The people have had him, or will have him, for two years. Now, let the State have him; grateful for the past, apprecia- tive of the present. It can elevate him without reproach to others.

Saulmugina, the younger brother of Assurbanipal, hav- ing risen in rebellion agsinst his sover- vign, and having failed in the attempt, was not spared by his angry brother. The following brief record is sufficient to tell its own terrible tale: “My rebellions brother, Saulmagina, who made war with me, was caat into a burning, fiery far- were treated inthe same manner; and the remainder were otherwise disposed of im the following way, as Assurbanipal very pithily says: ‘he rest of the peo- ple I threw alive among buils and lions, as my grandfather, Sehnacherib, used to act; and I, following his example, have thus treated these rebellious men.” Traly may we exclaim, with the Psatniists. “The dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.”— Quarterly Review. a - EO Dean Swift's Marriage Ceremony.—Dean Swift was applied te, at alate hour of a stormy bight, after hie had gone to bed, by a runaway couple te be married.

The way Tilden was counted out and Hayes was counted in is epongh to suggest some potent remedies. The constitution should he 99 changed qs to make it im- possible for rascally Returning Boards to cheat the people again, The Philodeiphia Timea, in an egjtazjal approving of Mr. Hewitt’s suggestions, gives this condensed statement of the play 1; “Mr. Hewitt’s remedy tor this is to put the election somewhat moyp directly into the hands of the people by a complete re- turn to the system, at one time in vogue ® some io cee of choosing the electors by districts, as Congressy) chosen, with two at large on the Benge ticket. The returns for these electors need to be made up in their respective districts, and all contests decided in the State courts. This, Mr. Hewitt believes, would pus it out of the power of a si State to change actual result of an election by a ulent manipulation of the retarns, the election of 1876 eoudueted under this system, and classifying the electors according to the ities of the Congressmen returned, Mr. 1 Tildon would have 153 district elec- tors and Mr Hayes lea” “ee There are two and twenty-one bastardy cases to be tried at Guilford ture, asking Congress to grant a charter The mast and appreved styles—Plow Cast- ings, all Gre Seine &¢.— £877 No. 5 points for $1.

KLUTTZ —_>- From the Wilmington Star. The venerable Edward J. Hale now living in New York, in a recent letter to the Raleigh Observer, thus refers to the divorcee case of Miller vs. Miller, recently decided by the Supreme Court, that im- maculate body that condemed Judge Kerr for sentencing Driver, the abortionist and wife-beater, to five years in the coun- ty prison: “Can it be possible that proven and ad- mitted adultery is no longer ground for divorce iu our good old State!

(Boston Transoript.) The veritable “Mary (who) had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow” visited the Old South Spinning Bee yes- terday afternoon, and told the ladies pre- sent the atory of the lamb, When she was nine years old nnd was living on a farm, one morning she went into the bard where she found two little lambs one o them neatly dead, So she took it into the house and sat op all night nursing it. The next morning the lamb could stand on its feet, and grew stronger every day.

Wasuincton, Feb. 24.—The signal ser- vice station at Cape Hatteras Inlet sends the following additional particalars in re- gard to the German bark Phillip Sup- picich, which foundered on Hatteras bar, on the night of the 22d inst : “Cape Hatteras Ialet, N. C., Feb. 24.— To the Chief Signal Officer, Washington : After diligent search and after having ex- amined numerous papers, I can find only the following facts concerning the bark ashore at this p!ace: Her name is Phillip Suppicich, Capt. Ludwig Korf, and from papers found the owner seems to be Hen- rich Bauer, of Rostock. Her books and papers are all in the German language. I can find no clue as to where she hailed from or her intended destination. All papers found are of old dates. The cap- tain’s private journal and the master’s manual of navigation show no recent en- tries. The only paper I have bearing a recent date is a certificate of insurance, dated Sartlepool, England, April 12, 1877, signed by Coverdale, Merryweather and Todd. The cargo is supposed to have been potash, as several barrels of that material have washed ashore; also several chests containing clothes and bedding. Three bodies have washed ashore. From papers found one of them.is supposed to be that of the captain. Fifteen pieces of Bnglish coin were found upon his person. The crew are all thought to have been drowned. No assistance could be render- ed on account of the high sea, as the bark was lying on the porth point of Hatteras bar, in the midst of breakers. Sheis now a total wreck, broken entirely to pieces. Ali the articles that have come ashore have been formally taken possession of by the United States deputy revenue col- lector, H. W. Styron, The bodies found wove burried by A. J. Stow.” Assistance was impossible, the vessel stranding in the night, and the sea being very high, The point where the yessel struck is 25 miles from the nearest life saving station. —++@) > — The International Sunday School Con- vention, comprehending the United States and Canada, will meet in Atlanta, Ga., on the 17th of April.

The pa- per says: “The Walker Light Guard, of Richmond, Va., arrived in Wilmington, N. visit to Charleston, 8. C. Upon being drawn up in line at the Wilmington depot, Brigadier-Gen.

The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public went of the business men and of the interests of the county. The time hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have a public journal of its own to represent its inter- ests in the various affairs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would not be geeatly benefited by a journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it serves; and every.citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, as a means of increas- ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad. The stronger it becomes the inure beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for its supportis far less than the material good it does, it is the best invest- ment any county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed in reapect to pablic affairs, and to take a decided, (and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully | to investigate all questions of public concern, | and give to his readers the fueta of the sane. | The undersigned pledges himself to be trne in this regard. He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776.° The danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people. While that party shall continue more pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it, But the main design of The Record is to serve the connty of Davidson in all the ways it may be possible to advance her interests and pro- mote the welfare of her people. And to this end the undersigned desires snch intimate re- lations with her citizens as shal] enatle him ‘o perform his duty efficiently. The paper will he published weekly at $1 a year in advance. It will be small, but neatly printed on new type; and the proprietar hopes to make up in quality what may be lacking in size, The first nnmber will appear about the first week in Jannary, 1878.

Believe me, these men have eharmed you with letters from lands possessing not half the interest of ours. Moreover, if Taylor and Prime could find nothing here worth writing about, it would be a sure evidence that their fame as letter-writers was completely nnde- served. By all the laws of literature ( should, in that ease, resign their pens’ and their laurels to somebody else. The poet who gannot indite a beautiful sonnet addressed to even a butte or a snafly’ the essayist who cannot enliven you even upon so trite a themo as dogs god cats; the epistolary correspondent who could not write a letter worth reading from one of the sand-banks in mid-ocean; any writer, in short, who has not talent suf- ficient to write on anything, ne matter how small and insigniticant, in the hea- ens above, the earth beneath, or the wa- ters under the earth, is no writer at all. Vance could take a horse-back journey through this “dull and uninteresting” re- gion to-day, and deliver a most facinating lecture upon it in Boston next week. Our State Geologist, Prof. Kerr, would be only too happy tv get up here and look around awhile, and tell you what treasures you have ynder your feet. And oh! If Dickens were only alive! Coujdn't he paint these Rowan charactors so life- like, you would have to laugh and ery, get angry and pleased, all on the same age? Doy’t tell me this is mere fancy and bosh. What did Dickens find to write about in the back-alleys, the tumble- down tenement lanes, the hospitals, the poor-houses and cellars of the scorned, squallid and poverty-stricken quarters of London? What did Ceryantes find in an old crazy reader of chivalric romances and a big-bellied- Spanish peasant? What did Addison write about but these same glorjes of earth and sea and sky; these same beauties of nature we gaze upon with atupid unconcern ? What did Shakes- peare describe but eopies after the Adam- itie model; thesc same men and women you daily associate with ? What supplied the ceaseless river of eloquenge in which 8. T. Coleridge and George Badger hab- itually conversed but the very subjects we are accustomed to regard as trivial and upworthy of notice? Voleridge, the noted talker of England, cauld entertain and delight his friends after dinner for hours and hours. It was one unbroken atream of conversational eloquence and absorbing interest. . It en- grossed and eaptivated all hearers, flow- ing freely forth from the exhanstless stores of his. vast and variod learning, “Shen there was the magieal potency of that superior tact of delivery, so rare an en dowment in a garrulous man as to be de- fined as nothing less than genius, and of such onrapturous contral aver the eager erowd that hung upon the charmed jips as to sway them like the sceptre of 4 monarch. And what Demosthenes was to the Athenians in public assemblies he was ta the English over their convivial tables; he could talk folks into anything. George Badger was the Coleridge of North Carolina. Eminent as he was at the bar, hia powers in common conversa- tion were not less remarkable than his forensic genius. Meeting you on the street or in his office, at any time when not pre-occupied by business, it was won- derful how this “old man eloquent” was listened toin silent awe; how fascinating was his discourse oy every theme and oc- casion; how his mast learned legal asse- ciates paid him the deference of attention as naturally as if it were his birth-right, and how impossible it was fur everybody not to accord it to him. Now this mental activity of Coleridge and Badger was irrepressible, and was bound to have vent in lingual expression aa surely as the fountains beneath the hills must burst forth and roll sparkling down the declivities to gladden the heart of man and beast, and to clothe their blest shores with rich carpets of luxuriant verdure. Addison was no talker; but it was no more trouble far him ta write y paper for the “Spectator” every few days than it is for an ordinary man to eat his breakfast. The simple and genial style of his essays, which will ever be the envy and the pat- tern ef young authors, soon caused each issue of that periodical to be awaited with pleasurable and eager expectancy. It was equally sanght after and perused by the titled and ayistacratic men of leisure and by the clubs af regtless and intellect- ual literatti. It created g fashion anda rage for periodical essays; and ather com- petitive enterprises, such os the “Guar- dian,” the “Rambler” and the ‘*Adventa- rer,” sprang up as fruit fron, tho seed lanted by the pure-minded aud injmita- le essayist. Dickens came u the stage of author- ship when -the public mind was sated with blood-and-thunder romances; glut- ted to its fill with thu Johnsonian style of novel-writing and the Ciceronian fram- ing of sentences; when jt longed for orig- inality both of manner and material. He slaked that feverish thirst for a change from the hidden depths of a fountain so exhaustless and delicious that we cannot apeak ef his works only jn terms of glow - ing enthusiasm and unfeigned respect. Well do Lremember my first and acci- dental acquaintance with this magician. An old ragged copy of ‘Nicholas Nickle- by,” minus the title-page and the. name of the author, happened to fall into my hands when I was a bey. I had read such books as “Ivanhoe” and ‘Charlotte lemple,”and ‘The Children of the Ab- bey,” and “Thaddeus of Warsaw,” and “Handy Andy,” and the “Three Span- jards,” till I thought all novels must be cut out after one or the other of these patterns, A perusal of the mysterious old volume fairly roused me into ec-$i- cies. “It it possible,” I said to myself, while alternately laughing and weeping over the fortunes of Nicholas and Smik- . “that there is a writer of such originality whose name I do not know?” You may be sure I never ceased enquiring till | found out who wrote that book, nor till I had found and read his other works un- IX—THIRD SERIES 4 soseast ng . au suspicion that he. was demented. Sammoned into the ‘Yoyal presence, and asked what book he was reading, he replied, “Don Quixote.” His demonstrations proved that was the book—he was not sent to the mad-house. by that boo Just thirty aaa my ndfather read aloud to the family the foreign letters of “Irenwne” in the “New York Observer.” Since that date, I have read many hundréds of his all interesting alike.

It has been increased by all the gollections made by the exploring parties of the War, Navy, Treasury and Interior Departments, and those of the Smithsonian Institution, At the close of the Centennial, thirty-four of the governments and colonies there represented sent it their choicest exhibita, Many series of the geology, mettallurgy, ethnology, and general resources of those nations are complete. Several State ex- hibits and several private collections were also sent, The centre building of the Smithsonian, with its two stories and gal- leries, and the west wing and gallery is full. The basement and large armory building are crowded from floor to roof with unboxed specimens. Prof. Baird, Assistant Secretary, and in part creator of the Museum, says: “We have speci- mens enough now to cover nine times the space we have, and are receiving at the rate of ten boxes daily.” For many years the Smithson fand was more than half spent in caring for the museum. Itis on- ly within the last two years that it has been fully relieved of that expense. It is open and free to the public from 9 A.M, to 3pm. Itis urged that the government sheuld provide room for and take care of jt; separate it from the Smithsonian In- stitute, and make it, in faet, the National Museum. The centre huilding is devoted to ani- mals, flahbirda, and stones. On the ta- ble that runs through the centre is a croc- odile from Florida 14 fect lang, and oppo- site 9 walrus from near the North Pole of about the same length. There, too, is the clyptodon, with its bony armor, 9 feet long; the longest now fannd la about ane foot. A cast of the Himalayan tortoise, 6 feet wide and 8 long, from India, now extinct’; the cast.of the skeletan, and of the restored, gigantic Irish elk, now ex- tinct. It seems to have lived in Europe as early as the tertiary period. Cast of a kangaroo lizard, 25 feet long, hind legs 15 feet, forearms 44 feet—found in New Jer- sey. The cast of the macatheriam, 15 feet long. Ina case are two musk oxen, now extinct in the East, but found rarely in Northern America, a small and horned an- imal with n dense covering of long silky hair; also Aurocks or European bison, which seem to have existed before the mammoth. Pliny and Seneea speak of it. It would be extinet, but the Russian government, by strict laws, preserves a hord. Thore are 50,000 specimens of fish. The saw-fislh has a body not ualike a shark, about 8 feet long, but the nose extends 4 feet, ike the blado of a sword, with strong and trenchant teeth on each side. This easily saws fish in two, and indeed severe- ly wounds a whale. The devil-fish has sbeen considered fabujous, but in 1873 one attacked a fishing sjack, throwing its arms across it, The arma were ont, and were 30 feet jn length. The one in the museum kaa eight arma of 8 feetin length, with suckers on the arma, There are 72,000 birds, There are eggs not so large as a pea, and ane from Mad.- gaseir 12} inches long, 34 inches in larg- est circumference, capacity 16 pinta ar 150 hens’ eggs. ‘There are 500,000 insecta, The Susean metcorite, brought from Arizona, weighing 1,400 Tbs., Prof. Baird considers one af the wanders of the Mu- seum.

But this collection marks an era in the world’s histery. It was a present to the President of the United States from the Tycoon of Japan in 1860, when the first Japanese ombassy came, wondering and wondered at. There are relics of Sir John Franklin’s and of the Frebisher expedition that ‘“‘wintered at Frobisher bay several hundred years ago.” There are many Indians in costume, and bona fide casts, by Mills, of prisoners of war, sit perched on the different cases, to the number of 64. Perhaps the most ju- teresting Squth American object is a hu- man head prepared by the Jivaro Indians, Peru, and held by the owner in much veneration. This room is for thescholar. Jt offera material to study man in every age and land. Here is a finer specimen of archeological remains of North America than in any ather maseum, and of the Western Esquimaox than in all othor museums in the world. Of the Stone Age there are many relics from the-grottocs and caves and caverns in the line-stane rocks of Europe. Indian graves in the Island of Omotepee, Lake Nicaragua, have been found between successive volcanic formations and the rifled content are here. There are heaps of extinct shell fish along | our coast, remains of feasts in long gone | ages, and in the jovial time many a knife was lost and here they are. The pre- hiatoric inhabitants of Unaloska, of whom the natives have no tradition eyen, The ancient inhabitants of New Zealand and Australia, the pre-historic age of Japan, are all represented by their implements here. The stone objects found all aver the earth, and strangely alike, are to-day used by the inhabitants of Terra del Fuego and the Pai Utes. Archwlogists divide the Stone age into Palwolithic (old stone) and-Neolithic (new stone) age. In the old stone ages the stones were merely chipped or flaked. The chipped series chiefly comprises arrow and spear-heads, cutting and scraping tools, saws, perfora- tors and digging implements. ‘They were made inthis country of homstone, jasper, chaloedony and quartz, in Europe of flint; they are triangular, leaf-shaped, poiuted sharply, rough and ugly. In the Neolithic, or New Stone age, the stone is groand, often polished and some- times ornamented, The perforators and arrow tips finely and sharply pointed ; there are hammers, chisels, adzes, axes, mortars pestles, wedges and digging tool, allof stone. From Peru are oval ar horse- collar shaped, and some of thom carved, objects, weighing four lbs, each ; they are puzzles to archwologists in Europe and America, Bat the pipes were the ‘moat remarkable of all, aome af them are se skillfully executed that modern artist find no little difficulty iu reprodacing them.” They are smill, bat in form of animals, birds and human heads, The | National Museum has the finest calumet pipe ever discovered. “It represents a | bird, with strongly curved beak, per- haps an eagle, which stands on a high pedoatal, showing in front of it an inrerted human face, The howl riscs from the back of the bird,” :. From the mare recent native inhabitants of New Zealand, but made with these stone implements, ia a very handsome palm- wood box, a lady'a glove box in size, carved in perfect sorolls and deta, naed by ladies of rank to keop feathera in; also the prow of a war canoe very well carved. Herodotus tells us that, B, c, 520, “a tribe in Thrace lived in dwellings built on platforms, supported by piles driven in the water, and connected to the land by narrow bridges.” It has been found hy recept search that the habit of ereeting buildings in the lakes was’ widely spread ever Europe, probably as protection against wild beats.

A limited namber of transient guests, women who have occasion to come alone to the city, will be accommodated at ordinary hotel charges. Although this leaves a class, and the most needy, un- provided for, we hope that the opening of this establishment may prove such a suc- cess and be so benefictal in its operation as to incite philanthropists to devise more liberal things for the homeless working women of New York, —_- —— THE POPE'S SOUL, Prayers have been offered in Roman Catholic churches, all over the world, ‘fet the spose of the Pope’s soul. It is strange that any Christian should be in’ douwbt about the soul of a good dead man. The Pope was one of the best men who ever sat in the chair. He had bis faults, He was very inconsistent. For an infallt- ble person he made many and great mia tukes. But he was not a great criminal monster like some of his predecessors. As the chureh goes, he was an excellent wan, and died in the odor of sanctity. Ifany Roman Catholic has left behind him a fair representation for godly living, the late Pope certainly has. Bat the church is praying for the repose of his soul, The Roman Catholics are sure the Pope has not gone to glory at present, and they are praying that it may be well with him by-and-by. What is their idea of a future state? And why do they pray for the souls of the pious dead ? Their notion of a future state is very far from anything revealed in the Holy Scriptures, The souls of believers are “at their death made perfect in holiness and do immediately pass into glory. The penitent thief on the cross believed, and the Lord assured him “ro-pay shalt thou be with me in Paradise.” If the dying Pope had received an assurance aceording to his faith it would be “To-day thou shalt be in purgatory.” , The Pope and all his people believe that the souls of the faithful go into a stage of purification where they must un- dergo penitential purgatorial fires, and when fhe last remains of ain have been by these pains purged away, the’ soal “id transferred ta the abode of the blessed in glory, The duration of this process of purgatary varies according ta the num- her of sins to be purged, and the number of masses said by the prieata for .the soul. As these are said by the priesta for pay, it is evident that the length of.the purga- tary varies greatly in individual cases, For the Pope these prayera are sajd hy all the churches, every where, and by many of them with all possible pemp and eir- cumstance. We may therefare well be- Neve that the faithful will be aure of his specidly passage threugh these gloomy re- gions into the brighter and better abode of the spirita of the just made perfect. Purgafory is an invent'on of the priests, who make money out of it, It is the grand eugine by which the ignorant mul- titude are held in subjection to men who are supposed to have the power of deliv- cring the sou! from the tarments of peni- tential fires. ape HEEL POWER OF A DARKEY, Part of a negro boy's work in Cumber- land, Md., is to build a fire every morn- ing iu a large furnace. The weather .was cold a few days ago, and, after patting a match to the kindlings, he crept into the furnace to get warm. The door swung &hut behind him, and fastened.

A A man may ride over our public highways all Sunday now and not meet a dranker man. Six montha ago he would have met them by the dozen, even between this point and Washington, screaming, whoop- ing, cursing, yelling and running races, endangering the veblicle, life and limb ot the quiet traveler. In Opelousas the effect of this ordinance has been marked indeed. Previous teits adoption our streets were filled every Sunday with a promiscuenus crowd of. idlers, loafers and traders ; some buying ; some selling, some getting drunk, and creating almost pan- demonium by their yells and screams. Of all days it was the busiest and requir- ed the most active and unceasing vigilance on the part of our town constable to pre- vent violations of our town ordinances, But what a change this ordinance has produced! There are.no crowds of loafers and idlers hanging about the streets, no buying, no selling, no getting drunk, no rows, no arrests, no work for the consta- ble. Nor has this change affected busi- ness in Opelousas the least. Our commer- cial houses are doing just as heavy a busi- ness as they did before the ordinance went into effect. People, both black land white, from the epuntry, instead of coming to town on Sundays, come in and transact their business on Saturdays, hence Sunday is now what the Christian diapensation intended it tabe, a day“of rest. Nor does the present ordinance intend to affect it further than this. It has no smack of the old blue laws of Connnecti- cut about it, as some of ear cotemporaries seemed to think at the time of its adop- tion. It forces no man to any peculiar ob- servance of the Sabbath. It merely sus- pends business that day, and then leaves every man to spend the day us he sees fit aud proper,” ee CAE Oe eae —_ THE GOVERNMENT'S CREDIT, Unprecedented Demand for United States Bonds, ’ New York, March 14,—The stated de- man for government bonds from leading cities is steadily inceastug. Since Mon- day orders have been received from Cin- einuati amounting to $250,000, and equal- ly large sales were made to financial in- stitutions in Cleveland, Chicago and St. Lottis. Thé orders from thé West are generally divided Inte small’ amounts, and are believed to be. chiefly for invest- ment by persons who haye formerly de- posited in savings banks, A heavy deal- er in government sécurities states that within the last two or thtee days over $1,000,000. of bands have. been. sant to Boston, and that correspondents wr t> heavy drafts upon aaving banks in that city during the last week for re-invest- ment in government bonds.

In trying to take care of it the fam- ily made changes in their way of living. First they cleaned a window, that more light might come to its leaves; then they. would open the window, that fresh air might help the plant to grow. Next the clean window made the rest of the room look so untidy that they used to wash the floors and the walls and arrange the. far- niture more neatly, This led the father of the family to mend a broken chair or two, which kept him at home several evenings. After the work was’ done he stayed at home instead of spending his leiusure hours at the tavern, and the money thus saved went to-buy comforts | for them all. As the home grew attrac- tive the whole family loved it better than ever before, and grew happier and health- ier with their flowers. Thus the little plant brought a blessing.

It yould atimntate industry and enterprise all along the line ang result in great gain to the State in this way, It is believed by some that the completed road, carefully managed, would prove a_profit- able investment for the State, materially aiding her to pay off her heavy debt. It would certainly tend poy tal} y to hujfd) BP apd aygtaiu all the varied interests of the State, withont damage to any. It would especially benefit the old patriotic city of Fayetteville and restore to ber some of the advantages she has lost by the questionable policy of the State in re- spect to iuterval improvements heteto- fore. ‘ County Convention —Bue peuple of the several toynghipg af Rowgn ghonjd bold public meetings and appoint delegates to a Geuuty Convention to be held early in May for the purpose of nominating candi- dates for County offices and appointing delegates toa district Convention.

We take pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of the advance sheets of the latest publication of the National Pab- lishing Company of Philadelphia. The work is entitled The Pidtorial History of the World, embracing full authentic accounts of every nation of ancient and modern times and including a History of the rise aud fall of the Greek and Roman Empires, the growth of the nations af Modern Europe, the Middle Ages, the Crusades, the Feudal System, the Reformation, the discovery and settlement of the New World, ete., ete. It is from the pen of James D. MoCaneg, an author well known for his historical wri- tings, who has devoted years of study and research to the production of this volume. The book is larly a library in itself, and is one of the most valuable works ever offered to the pablic. It pre- sents to the readers a mass of information respecting ancient, medieval and mod- ern history not to be found in any other book, and does this in the most fascina- ting and entertaining manner.

The work is invaluable to every reading person, and should have a place in every household. The mechanical ex- ecution of the book fully sustains the high reputation of the pablishers. It con- tains 1260 large: double-colunin pages, and over 650 tine engravings illustrative of the events recorded in the narrative, embracing battles and other historical scenes; portraits of the great men of an- cient and modern times, and views of the principal cities of the world, The en- gravings in this book are genuine works of art, and were made at cost of over $25,000.

The interest of the town of Fayetteville demands that something should be done from the heavy taxes which are so dis- tressingly affecting them, and which stand in their pathway to prosperity. Come, then, and let us reason together, and - see if something cannot be suggested to bring about this mest desirable change in our affairs, and place us once again on the high road to better times. ‘To aecomphish this good, we must approach the subject with the gravity ils importanee demands. Political considerations, loeal aud personal prejudices, must be made to stand aside, aid the one grand and paramount object dispassionately discussed, CAN BE DONE TO RESTORE PROSPERITY ? WHAT OUR In the first place, it is conceded by | every one that we mast get clear of the heavy railroad tax, which is so grievous land which stands at the very threshold of our advancement. And the question very naturally ja asked, ‘How can that be done?” | will suggest one way, and one which, I think, ean be accomplished. The State of North Carolina owns nearly the whole of the Western North Carolina Railroad. Tt was purchased by the State to secure the large jnterest hold by the State, and whic h she was about to lose. Its beginning point is Salisbury, and it terminates at the Tennessee State line. The State, with convict labor, is now gra- ding the unfinished portion of the road bed, and preparing for the iron, ten miles of which has been recently purchased for use beyond the mouniins. We hope the day is not far distant whev this important State work will be completed. Then will be epened out the rich, fertile valleys and mountain slopes of our western counties, giving to the people an casy and direct communication with the rest of the State and to our seaports on the Atlantic, This Western Extension has been a favorite movement with intelligent citizens of the State for nearly forty years—indeed, all the early railraad projects from 1830 were witha view to accomplish this object; towit: a connection of the head waters of the Cape Fear river at Fayetteville with the ar western cauntica of the State, by way of Salishary. Asa greed of this look at the rocondiugs of all the internal improve- meut conventions, at every point, where- soever held in the State, and to the char- ters granted by the legislature to carry out this object, “But,” you ask, “what has all this tado with our present impoverished candition ¢ How can that benefit us now?” I'll tell you: Let us carry out the original project of our fathers; let us work together, re- gardless of all other consideratious, and and get the State of Nerth Ca fea’ to as- sume our town and county indebtedness in- curred for the Western Railroad, and for so doing let us surrender our interest, on the condition that the State will extend the road to Salisbury, and then conneet and consolidate it with that great State work, Tue Western NoRTH CAROLINA ROAD, so that the State may own an entire line of railroad running nearly centrally through !

TO THE COLORED PEOPLE. The following piece, clipped from a newspaper tells a tale: “Carryine Coats TO NEWCASTLE.— Charleston, 8.C., March, 9.—Three hun- dred and fifty colored men, women and childred, from various parts.of the eoun- try, are qaartered im this city avebing the arrival of the Azor,a sailiug ship, to take them to Liberia, under the auspices of the Liberian Exodus Ses i ehont here is accommodation on 250, of these calgtaxte Ualy those vent be taken who hold stock in te Liberian joint steamship company and have means to support themselves for six months af- ter their arrival without assistance. ‘Theo Azor will, on her return, take another ship-load, which she will continue to do until the thonsands who are anxious to emigrate are accommodated.” Men are going round the country tell- already made for them when they get there, which a falsehood, as the above shows. I want to say to the colored peo- ple to stay where they are. You can do better here than anywhere else. I speak as a colored man to colored men. Study your own interests and learn to think for yourselves. It is time for yon to quit lis- tening toevery humbug adventare, and to quit being led by these so-called leaders, who only lead you into mischief. We've now got a good Governor, and a good President, and all there is for the colored man is to go to work. Too many of you hold up the corners of the streets, looking for an easier way to make a living, and blame the government for it. No mancan make an honest living in Liberia or any where else without he works for it. This Libera scheme is all a humbag and de- lnusion to get the poor colored man’s mon- ey. I expect Pll be attached by some of my colored brethren on this, but P'm will- ing to meet them.

Summerell, Whitehead, Caldwell, Luckey and Shim- pack @ committee to present a suitable minute, at the meeting iu Mareh, 1873, ou the death of Dr. Alexander Long—our venerable fellow-member : and in the dis- charge of this duty would beg leave to re- port that Dr. Long was born in Rowan County, Oct. 23d, 1789—was edueated at Chapel Hill; studied Medicine with Dr. Webb, of Hillsboro, N.C. ; graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, about the year 1813; practiced a year or two in Salisbury, then moved to Charlotte in 1815 ; and in 1816 changed his location to Cheater, S.C. In both these places he practiced his profession with dilligence and success, and with acceptability to the public; but in the urgent appeal of his frienda here , and entreaty of his father, he was induced to return to his home in Salisbury, where he remainded until his death, which acoyrred Sept. 24th, 1877, at his old homestead, surrannded by his children and friends—aged 8&8 years, Dr. Long at an early period of his pre- fessional career manifested a special pref- erence for midwifery—awd thaugh cam- pelled to be a general practitiquer, yet he devoted the best energies of hia life to tho practice af his abstet rica, For a generation or more Dr. Long was the only physician in all this section of country who paid any attention to this branch of practice, midwifery being left almost entirely in the hands of the okt wa- men of the country. He attained a skill and experience as an accoucher, which seoured him an ex. tensive practice, and made him sought after, far and near in all difftcult cases of labor, and even untila few years ago he now and then attended cases in his favor- ite branch of practice. As a physician and citizen Dr. Long held the confidence and esteem of this community ; as a hus- band, father and friend, he discharged all his obligations with faithfalness ; and asa christian and rnlerin the honse of God, his conduct was exemplary. He was among those who organized the Rowan County Medical Seciety, and was an honorary member of the State Medical Society. In closing this sketch we offer the fol- lowing re ssolution : Resolved, That in the death of Dr. Alex- ander Long, this Society feel keenly the loss it has sustained, and while we bow with resignation to the will of Ged, we bear tetimony to his skill aa a physician, and to the many social virtues of the de- ceased, and express our heartfelt sym- pathy with his bereaved children, —_- Strike at Otdham, March 18.—The strike and lock-out of the Oldham weavers has now lasted a month and neither side seems in- clined to yield.

PROSPECTUS OF The Davidson Record Thy Davison Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, js designed to meet a public ent of the business men and of the i interests af the county. The time hascome when al.nost every coupty finds it indjspensaple to have a poblic journal of its own to represent its inter- ests in the various affairs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would not be geeatly benefited by a journal withjn its bounds expecially devoted to the pro- motion of the loca! interests of the compnunity, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality od pride of the section it serves; and every citizen should le it his countenance and anpport it }jberally, as a megns of increas- ing jts uselylpess and éxtending its influence at home and abroad, ‘The stronger it becomes the more beneficial it will prove; and ‘as the money required for its support is far less than the aad good it does, it is the best invest- ment any county can make, The Kecerd will of necessity take part in the polities of the country. If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well jnfprmed in reapect to public ale and to take a decided, and manly part therein, jt js sspepially the duty of the editor ofa newspaper faithfully to investigate al] questions of public concern, and give to his readeta the facta of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be true in this regard, Ile will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; -butby laying before them the facts, as he may onabitesl to obtain them, wil endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the geneFal good. As political matters now stand, his. personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as recond only to that gained by the fathers of 1776. The danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the -occasion, and’ gloriously, rescued the imperiled liberties of the people. While that party, sball continue more pure and traly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it, But the main design of The Record is to serve the county of Davidson fr alf the ways it may be posgihle to adyance her interests and pro- mote the welfare of her people, And to this end the nndersigned desires such intimate re- lations with her citizens as shall enable him to perform his duty efficiently, Bhe pgper will be Publishes weekly at 61 a eet try de egea | COURT Foe JUSTICES!

You have heard of him? He led a mob in the time of Richard the Second. He behaved in- solently before the King at Smithfield, and was struck down by Walworth, May- or of London, and then dispatched by the King’s attendants.’ ‘Itis a bold subject, William; but 1 will say nothing to deter you from try- ing it.’ ‘If I fail, mother, harm? Tenn try again.’ “Lo be sure you can, Wilkiam. will not be disappointed should you not succeed in) winning the silver palette, offered by the Society for the best histori- eal painting.’ Without more ado, little William went to work. He acquainted himself with the various costumes of the Let; King noblemen used to dress, clothes were worn by the poor people aud workmen, to which class Wat Tyler be- He also learned which sort of said where will be the So we first year he learned how the und what sort of longed. weapons were carried in those days. After having given some time to the study of these things, he acquainted him- self thoroughly with the historical inci- dents attending @he death 6f tho boli rioter, He grouped, in imagination, the persons present at the scene—the King and his attendants, Walwerth the Mayor, Wat Tyler himself, and in the back- ground some of his ruflianly companions. The difficulty now was to select that period of the aetion best titted for a pic- tare, and to group the figures in attitudes the most natural and expressive. Many times did Httle William make a sketch on paper, and obliterate it, dissatistied with his work. At times he almost despaired of accomplishing anything that should do justice to the conception in his mind. But after many failures, he completed a sketch which he decided to transfer to caBvas, He now labored diligentty at his task, and took every opportunity to improve himself in a knowledge of colors aud their effeets. At length the day for handing in pictures arrived. He then had to wait a month before there was any decision as to its merits. On the day appointed for the announcement of the decision, many per- sons of distinction were present, includ- ing the ladies. The meeting was presid- ed over by the Duke of Norfolk. William’s mother was present, of course. She sat waiting the result, with a beating heart.—What a gratified mother she was, when, after the transaction of some un- interesting business, it was announced that the prize of a silver palette for the vest historical picture was awarded to the painter of the piece entitled, ‘The Death of Wat Tyler.’ When it was found that William Ross was tlic successful artist, the applause of the audience byeke forth with enthusiasm. Te'see such a little fellow gain a prize over competitors of mature age was a novelty and surprise. William was sam- moned with his picture to the Duke's chair, and here he reccived such counsel and encourgement as were of great ser- vice to him in his future career. He be- came at length Sir William Koss, minia- ture painter to the Queen, having risen to fortune and to fame, by carrying out with determination and perseverance, his simple promise to his mother, of “Jf eill try? —— DruwMer’s Licknse.—Messrs.

Mr. Adams, before the performance be- gan, thus explained the instrument: “In this guttapercha mouthpicce is a very thin diaphragm, made of thin-type metal. The vibrations ofthe voice jar the diaphragm, which has in its centre, underneath, a fine steel] point. Around this brass cylinder which, you see, is closely and finely groov- ed by a spiral, T wrap a sheet of tin foil. I shove the mouthpiece up until the steel ‘point touches the tin foil, just above the first groove on the left. ‘Tarning the eyl- inder with this erank, I talk into the mouthpiece. The diaphragm vibrates, causing the steel point to perforate the tin foil, leaving little holes of different diameters and resembling the eld Morse telegraphic alphabet. The cylinder moves from left to right watil the steel poiut has gone over the entire length-of the spiral. ‘Thus we have, as it were, a stereotype plate of the voice. From this plate a matrix in sulphur, (the most desirable substanee for the pnepoge) can be formed, and years frem now there“can be taken from that matrix other plates capable of the same work which you will presently see this one perform. COMING OUT OF THE “*BOTTLE.” “Now I turn the cylinder Baek to the starting place, in order that the steel point may go over the perforations which it made when I talked into the mouthpiece. The steel point, kept down by a rubber spring underneath the diaphragm, trips from hole to hole, causing the diaphragm to vibrate as it did when I was talking into the mouthpiece. Thus causing a cor- responding opening and closing of the valves of the diaphragm, the words, into- nation and accent ase reproduced with perfect accuracy. It would be impossible for any human mimic to do it so well, The smallend of this fanned is fixed ia] the mouthpiece to keep the reproduction from scattering. Now, listen.” Several gentlemen, evidently supposing that they would not be able to hear without haying their ears close to the funnel, were patting their heads near the instrument, but Mr, Adams told them that such proceeding was unnecessary, asthey could dintiuguish the sounds well enough at a distance. tin foil around the cylinder, spoke into the mouthpiece in a voice of ordinary pitch and time, but with distinct articala- tion, meanwhile slowly and regularly ¢ ° bres t ; A at name was a ‘the eravk, the lo t up, c.

For the sake of ueve!ty the steel point was now caused to go aleng the perforated spiral, while Mr, Adams whistled, yelled and shouted all sorts of ridiculous things into the mouthpicce. As a resnit the bit of metal strongly at- fected the resible wuscles of the audience by something like this: Jack and Jill went—“Cheese it !’— Up the hill To get a bueket—“O, wipe off your ehin !

The threatened riot did not take place, beyond a continuous volley of stoves for an hoar and a half, at the leeture room, riddling all the windows. No damage was Cone, and nobody hurt. Shortly after midnight the mob advane- ed up Queen street aud attacked Cos- grove’s tavern. The crowd inside an- swered with revolvers, and the rioters re- turned the fire. Hundreds of shots were exchanged here, and stoves poured into the hotel until the window sashes and furniture were completely demolished. The police, ninety in nnimber, charged’ the mob and wiclded their batons with great vigor. Four men were shot here, and one young Protestant named James Clegy, itis feared, was fatally wounded.

THE FISHERIES AWARD. What is Thought of It in England. Lonxvox, March 24.—The Times’ ’ édito- vial on the fisheries award says: “It is unfortunate for the good fame of the United States that at a moment when the finaucial policy of Congress has awaken- ed grave suspicier and anxiety in Europe, ’ that some American politicians of ¢onsid- erable importance and notoriety, display another phase of the repudiating spirit in opposing the payment of Sheaward. The teckless language of Mr. Blaine and Gen. Batler is not only throwing discredit on the country, but damaging to the system of settling international disputes by arbi- tration. Ne country henceférward will be willing to tefer claims to arbitration 4 if the decision of the arbitrators is liable to be.challenged by the unsuccessful par- ty.” The article continues: “The attempts at evasion and the attacks upon the im- partiality of Mr. Delfosse are of a piec: with the spirit of ehieanery which has been attempted to force an interpretation of the unanimous award. We hope and believe that Mr. Blaine will not be able to get the Congress of his countrymen to support him iv a refusal to pay the award, and to stamp the American policy with the double discredit of meanness and trickiness.” A ee United States Bonds in the London Market.

Why they wouldn’t allow Gov. Vance to see them in defence of his character, bat his Republican com- petitor was permitted to see them and make use of them. T’ve got copies of some oorreapondence that will throw light on the subject.” Mr. Waddell produced copies of a letter from Don - Cameron, Secretary ef War, to Gov. Vance, and his reply. Cameron’s letter was dated Jan- uary 26, 1877, and requested Gor. Vance to furnish the department with the reports of the Adjutant-General of North Caro- lina. Gov. Vance replied under date of February.5, 1877,- in the piquant and pointed style characteristic of him. He informed Cameron that in 1865, after the cessation of hostilities, the official letter books of the State were seized and borne to Washington ; that at the timea special messenger was sent with the request that he be permitted to copy a letter which was needed as. evidence in a law suit wherein the State was interested. The request was refused. In 1371, while seek- ing admission to the United States Sen- ate, Radical papers accused Goy,. Vance having used cruelty towards Federal prisoners. He went in person tothe War Department and asked permission to copy letters which would refute the calumny. This request was refused, but the Gov- ernor writes: ‘Last spring, when I met my competitor, Judge Settle,. who was the Republican*candidate for Governor, I found him supplied with an armful of garbled and mutilated copies of these same official letters, certified as true cop- ies by yourself as Secretary of War with the great seal duly attached.” “Mr. Waddell, after folding up the let- ters, rematked: “I know every word of that to be true, ang the faet, is those re- cords have never been open to our party unless it is a very recent thing.” ‘““Gen. Banning, were you ever denied access to the rebel records ?” inquired the Post of the chairman of the Military com- mittee. “No. Inever tried to see those records, But Tl tell you what I did try to see at the War department and couldn't.” “What was that ?” “Why, the letter or report or whatever it was of Phil Sheridan abont Masison Wells.” When was that ?” “Last year.

See. 77, ch. 275, Laws of 1876-77, as printed, ia aw follows: “Phe next general — for members of the General As- mbly, for Justices of the Supreme Court, or Court apd Solivitars and vt surveyor, t, slieriff, clerk at the Superior Court for thé several counties, 4a such counties as have one, a treas- urer, shall be held on the first ‘hursday in, August, in eg year of our Lord one thousand hundred and al wut Seconhen until otherwise , all general elections shall be sal on > the Ruled next after the first Mon- (lay in November of “~ year jg which an ¢lecti Peete bed rth it very aac that the omis- sion of the words “Register of Deeds,” in $e above section, as iu the printed edi- tion of the laws, does not appear in the the official copy of thé aet on, file ‘in the pitice of the Secretary of State. Sec. A8, same.acp, makes it plai that the¢ of Register of Deeds shall take place at the same time with the other gounty officers, and that will be this year, jn August next. The part of the section to which I refer is this: Superior Court, “The county Kaiti ste lease surveyor, counties, viz : coroner and sheriff shall be voted for oa freasurer, regi eee 341, Lawsiof id6-77, makes his position still plainer.

I hereby an df .acandidate for the office of Succi ot. at the election in August neat, suljont'te che decides of the County € I aw @ believer iw the sound old doctrine which was enunciated and acted upon by Washington and the founders of the Repubfic, that there should be frequent rotation in office. It ia one of the great fundamental principles of all free Republican governments, that the rulers, the office-hotders, should be frequently taken from the ranks of the people. Asa general rule this principle is soted upon, and Presidents, Governors, Congresamen, Legislators and the like, are frequently chang- ed. And why shquid the one office of Sheriff be made an exception to thia ryle? Does it require more ability ur integrity to fill this office than all those? Or ia it true that there is but one man in the county, in a generation of men, who is competent to fill the position? To say this, is to insult the intel)i- gence and the integrity of every good man in the county. As 1 do not expect to descend to personali- ties, L shall aay nothing of the present incum- bent.

I desire to ask him this question :—Does he intend to abide the decision of the township and county nominating conventions ? For myself, I can only say, that if elected, I shall be content to discharge the duties of the office for no} janger than two terths, and then give way far same one else. Very respectfully, THEO. I’.

I believe that those who have used it moderately and judiciously ean say that they have realized a profit. 1 believe that now since everything must be of the best quality to sell readily that its use is of more importance. I believe that any good fertilizer will pay some profit on its cost by increased production, apart from a great improvement in quality. I believe further that when paid for in cotton we canand ought to use some. I be- lievethatevery farmer ought toraise all the cotton he can after a goed supply of every- thing good for family use. 1 believe every man who raises cotton to the neglect of these things is a fool. I believe that the Piedmont guano is the best iu our market aud the Navassa next. FARMER. «& Ay Pia -ne - - BEAR HUNTING. The following singular means of captur- ing or killing the bear is said to be fre- quently practiced by Russian peasants who cannot easily procure fire-arms. As is well known, the bear has a fondness for honey, and will track hisway a great dis- tance to where the wild bees have filled some hollow tree. ‘Their sting cannot hurt him, and they and their stores are entirely at his merey, Ina forest known to contain bears, the hunters examine all the hollow trees, till they discover a wild bee-hive, A branch of the tree is then chosen, directly above the hole; if thero is no sueh branch a stout peg is driven in- to the trunk. Toe this pega strong cord is fastened, and to the end of the cord a heavy stone or cannon ball is suspended, at about half a foot from the ground. The bear in his researches comes upon the treasures of honey. ‘The pendulous bar- rier obstructs and incommodes him a good deal. He is an irritable brute—in such cases one ofthe most irritable as well as stupid in the forest. LHe begins by shoy- ing the weightorstone to one side ; but it presses against his head, and he gives it a slight kwock to free himself from the inconvenience. It recoils a moment and he recives a smart tap on the ear. His temper is roused, and he again push- es off the hard and heavy mass, but more violently ; he gets rather a heavy blow on the side of his skull, on its return. He becomes furious, and with a powerful jerk sends the reck swinging away. The pendulum cannot tire of thig game ; and it is agame in which the blows are felt ow one side exclusively. The bear alone suffers; and the point is that he suf- fers a8 much by the blows he gives asa by those he gets. He takes double punish- ment, His very retaliations are all against himself ; and for every furious pysh which makes his skull ache, he receives an im- mediate equivalent, which makes it ache again. At last his rage is unbounded ; he hugs the reek ; he strikes it ; he bites it; but whenever he would thrust his head into the hive, back on his ear falls the ob- struction, against which his terrible hug or the blows of his paw are of no avail: The brute is maddened. He faces his strange and pertinacious tormentor, and once more makes it rebound from his skull. But back again it swings like a curse, which returns upon the head from which it started. ‘Phe bear falls exhausted un- dor these reiterated blows, one more vio- lent than another ; and if he be not dead, the hunters, who have watched the con- test from their hiding place, soon dispatch him.— Russia and the Tussians. _——_99e The childreen of a clergyman's family in Aberdeen were making themselves happy propounding conundrums. Final- ly one of them said, “Who was the meck- est woman?” The clergyman seemed struck with a fresh thought, and replied, quickly, “Wedon’t read of any,” But madam made herself even with him when she rejoined, with quite as mach quick- ness: “Well, we read of only one such man, and from the fuss that’s made about The voiee that said this had a treubled tone, and the face that looked up was very sad: - “Your fathergvill be very angry,” said Mauri whe was sitting in the room with a book in her hand. The bey raised bim- self from the sofa, where he had been ly- ing in tears for half an hour, and with a ,touch of indiguation in hia voice an- swered : “He'll be sorry, not angry. Father never gets angry.” For a moment the aunt looked at the bey half curiously, and let her eyes fall upon the book that was ia her hand. The bey laid himself down upon the sofa again, ephats Gi Pm ; aftera I tly ten minutes, as the sound of the bell reached his ears, and went te the room deor. He stood there for a while, and then came slowly back, saying with a disappointed air: “It isn’t father. I wonder what keeps him so late. O, I wish he would come!” “You seem anxious to get deeper into trouble,” remarked the aunt, who had been only in the house for a week and who was neither very amiable, nor very sympathizing toward children. ‘The boy's fault had provoked her, and she consider- ed him a fit subject for punishment. “I believe, Aunt Phebe, that you’d like to see me whipped,” said the boy a little warmly. ‘But you won’t.” “T must confess,” replied Aurt Phebe, “that I think alittle wholesome discipline ef the kind you speak of would not be out of place. If you were my child Iam very sure you wouldn’t escape. “im not your child; I don’t want to be. Father’s good and loves me.” “If your father is so good, and loves you so well, you must be ungrateful, or a very inconsiderate boy. His goodness doesn't seem to have helped you much.” “Hush, will you!” ejaculated the boy, excited to anger by this unkindness of speech iu his aunt. “Phebe!” It was the boy’s mother who spoke now for the first time. In an un- dertone she added: “You are wrong. Richard is suffering quite enough, and ‘| you are doing him a harmrather than a good.” Again the bell rang, and again the boy left his seat on the sofa, and went to the sitting room door. “It’s father!” and he went gliding down stairs. ‘‘Ah, Richard!” was the kindly grect- ing, as Mr. Gordon took the hand of his “But what’s the matter, my son? You don’t look happy.” “Won't you come in here?” and Rich- ard drew his father into the library. Mr. Gordon sat down; still holding Richard's hand, “You are troubled, my sen. happened ?” The eyes of Richard filled with tears as he looked into his father’s face. He tried to Answer, but his lips quivered. Then he turned away, and opening the door of the cabinet, brought out the fragments of a broken satuette, which had been sent home only the day before, and set them on the table before his father, over whose countenance there came instantly a shad- ow of regret, ‘Who did this, my boy 1” was asked in an even voice, “I did it.” “How?” “I threw my ball in there once—only once, in forgetfulness.” A little while Mr. Gordon sat controll- ing himself, and collecting his disturbed thoughts. Then he said cheerfully. ‘‘What is done, Richard, can’t be help- ed. Put the broken pieces away. You have had trouble enough abewt it, I can sec, and reproof enough for your theught- lessness, so I shall not add a word te in- crease your pain.” “Q, father!” and the boy threw his, arms about his father’s neck. Five minutes later and Richard entered the sitting coom with his futher, Aunt Phebe looked up for twe shadowed faces, and did not see them. She was puzzled. “That was very unfortunate,” she said, alittle while after Mr. Gondon, came. ‘It was such an exquisite work of art.” Richard was leaning against his father when his aunt said this. Mr. Gerdon only smiled and drew his arm closely a- round his boy. Mrs. Gordon threw upon her sister a leok of warning, bat it was unheeded. “I! think Richard was a very waughty boy.” “We have settled all that, Phebe,” was the mild but firm answer of Mr. Gordon; ‘cand it is one of our rules to get into the sunshine as quickly as possible,” boy.

To the Editor of the News : Siz :—I have just read your or on “The Spread of Infidelity.” It - cates so much anxiety, on your own part, and fs so likely to create discouragement in the mindsof some at least, of your readers, that I feel constrained to write you a hasty letter on the same subject. In the General Epistle of Jude, written about A. D. 66, are these words: “But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how that they told ou there should be mockers in thedast. Yusts. ‘These be they who sepa- rate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.” With such a prophecy of men like In- gersoll, how can any one be surprised at their appearance. Every time the blatant infidel opens his lips to ridicule and de- fame the doctrines andl devotees of Christ, he is a plain fulfilment of prophecy, and, in so far, a proof ef the truth of that which he assails and denies. But infidelity is nothing new. It has fought Christianity in some way almost from the night that the shepherds listen- ed to the angels’ song. Bishop Bascom truly said that the enemies of Christianity have retired from every conflict “with the names of their conquerors and the glory of God written on their broken and dis- mantled shields.” While the old arguments in proof of the Bible stand impregnable, the old argu- ments of the scoffers remain only as fallen and scattered rubbish to remind this age of the delusion and shame of those who originated or advanced them. As to the infieldity of the present day, permit me to say that your picture is too highly colored. Germany is not “almost wholly infidel.” The faith of Luther is still dear to the German heart. While recluse philosophers are wasting their lives in transcendental dreamings, there are also mighty intellects producing grand evangelical works to vindieate the integ- rity of our religien,—te defend the altars of the true faith in Germany and through- out Christendom. As to France, it Has not for eenturies had enough religion to furnish room for a declive.” It has long been weighed dewn by an effete sys- tem that is too low to fall. In England, just as in every country that bas tried the policy of a union between Chureb aud State, from the days of Constantine, there is always a tendency towards seculariza- tion in the ruling church. At the samo time dissenting ehurehes are seriously embarrassed and retarded. Many other evils are incident. Bution England and Scotland the work of God is gloriously advancing: Religion rules the Throne, the Parliament and the Press— to a great extent. Italy bas been poor, fallen Italy, since the everthrow of the old Empire. She cannot be counted with the failures of this century. To-day there is more hope for her thau there has been for many centuries. In America the churches are growing with great rapidity. In May, 1778, there were only 6095 Methodist in the U.S. To- day there are about 2,800,000. Giving four to one, we have over eleven millions by predilection, under more or less in- fluence from that one church, besides the nearly three million members. The Methodist growth in the South, since the war, has been astovishingly great. There has likewise been most encouraging prog- ress in the Baptist Church throughout the country. Other denominations of promi- nence are in vigorous activity with noin- dications of decline. Many thousands of converts are entering the various church- es every year. The rising generation are gathered about the sacred altars and more faithfully i.etructed in religion than ever before. The Sunday-schools alone, are sufficient to re-assure the alarmed friends of our faith. They give good promises that the ext generation will be better prepared to encountor the assaults of infidelity, than any previous generation has been. The secular press —even certain semi-pagan papers in New York—are rendering service to the chureh; while every denomination is scattering pure literature throughout the broad land. Public opinion is, in the main, favorable to the Bible religion ; and has been great- ly elevated, during this century, towards the heaven-appointed standards. All over every States in the Union there are thousands of complacent believers in ‘‘the old, old story,” enjoying the peace of the christian, and prayerfally pitying pog de- luded skeptics. Men and women of all grades of intelligence —the highest as well as others—are holding the faith in its purity, teaching it to their children, and movitig towards‘the ordeal of death with a composure as immoveable as character- ized a martyr in the days of the Apestles. Representatives of various classes jn s0- ciety are daily sealing their devotion with a faith that transforms death itself into a messenger of merey. The vain students of science and the presumptous lecturers against the Bible, isolated, as they aré, from the great, struggling, advancing aud determined host of Zion, are pitifully ig- fidelity than it is to-day: “I there is in many parts of Chi deplorable waukef vital gedl has it not always been so tianity has, here and t what to the world; in mighty ns ; y. There are many false professors in all the churches, bringing reproach upon the religion they ought to honor; but even the world regards them bad only as they are false to their profession. They are the representatives of the class.that have kept up the line of Judas Iscariots in all the centuries of our era. They may “cru- cify the son of Ged afresh,” to themselves; but they cannot erneify him again to the church or to His own glory. Our religion was bora amoung ruling en- emies and heathen battaliens. ‘Theswords- of Herod marched ia vain to take the life of the ivfant Savior. When he became a man, they murdered him; but than perfect- ed his triuunplt and cemented with his blood the everlasting foundations of his kingdom. ‘True Christians do not expect that the church will be free from daring foes before the Milennium. The great founder said ‘‘T come not to bring peace, but a sword.” The fight has been un- ceasing, and yet the church has always becu strengthened and advanced by its conflicts. 1 believe that it needs a flercer conflict now. Aye, I believe that conflict iscoming. So far from fearing that our religion is about to be overthrown, the leading Christian judgment of the day concludes that we are verging upon one of the grandest moral revolutions that have ever shaken this sin-cursed world. “The Lord God Omnipotent reigneth !” Truly yours, A. W. MANGUM. AN EMPIRE OBLITERATED. but it ag the a a > Kashgar Swallowed up by China while Rus- sia rs busy with Turkey. While Russia has been so busily ocen- pied in reconstructing the map of Eastern Europe and Western Asia, the Chinese have been busily and uninterruptedly at work on some important geographical business in Central Asia. The Celestials have, in tuct, completed the conquest of a vast empire twice as large as France in extent of territory, although but sparsely inhabited. ‘The Khanate Kashgar, which has thus ceased to exist, is sisuated on the extreme western border of Chinay iw- mediately east of and adjoining the recent Russian conquests in Turkestan. Kash- gar was formerly included in the great ‘V'artar kingdom ef Central Asia; and on its dismemberment came, with the rest of East Turkestan, under the government of a local Mohammedan dynasty. The nu- merous factions springing from this, dis- puted the supremacy until the midéfle of the eighteenth century, when the Chinese conquered the couutry and held an dnata- ble possession of it for 108 years. * About 1863, however, the Tunganis or Dunganes, a Mehammeday tribe of mixed,Tartar and Chinese descent, revolted, and then fol- lowed s 1ising of the Kirghis Tartars, and in a few years the Chinese were elpelled, aad the provinces of Kashgar, Yarkand, Khoten, and Arksu were subjected by Mahammod Yacoub Beg, a Khekand chief- tain whe became: the sovereign. of East Turkestan, a vast ahd vaguely defined territory, inclosed between the Pamir Steppe, the Thian Shau Mountains, and the Ilindu Kush, Chinese Tartar proper lying between these dominions and China. From east to west Yacoub’s empirg cov- ered an era 1,300 miles in length. The Chinese never regarded this dimin- ution of their territory asa permanent ar rangement, and for fourteen years they have beer going about its conquest in their peculiar fashion. Ose of the oxpe- ditions which they sent against the Treop- er King of Turkestan, as he was called, was several years in reaching the frontier, the troops being obliged to pauseon their long march to plant and reap the crops that were necessary for their sustananee. For two years past tho hostile armies of the Celestial Empire and the new Kash- garian kingdom have been within fighting distance of cach other. Numerous encoan- ters took place, the forces of Yacoub Bog at first being victorious, In Jape of last year Yacoub died, just at the time when the tide of victory was turring in favor of his enemies. Before his death he had disinherited his sons, and appeinted as his successor Hakim Khan Turah, the sole direct ropresentative of the ancient reigning dynasty of Kasghar before the conquest of that country by the Chinese. Hakim Khan arah teok @ prominent part in assisting the Inte Ameer in ftw early wars, and was always greatly trust- ed by Yacoub, Hakim Khan Turah, how- ever, refused the sceptre, whereupon the throne was ascended “by Kuli Beg, the eldest son of the late Ameer.

Vegetable physiology has made but slow progress. Although its beginning may be traced to the period when Mal- pighi aided it with the miscroscope, its real origin does uot date earlier than the last century, when by his beau- tifal experiments on the nutrition and transpiration of plants, Hales explainéd some curious phenomena in the vegetable world. From that time naturalists began to study attentively the phenomena of vege- tation. The observations of Linnzus and Holff, the numereus experiments of Bonnet and Senebier, the works of Duhamel, Ludwig, and Mustel, the investigations of H. de Saussure and Hedwig—all these efforts tended toward the same end, namely, re- uniting scattered materials and forming a regular whole, Some of these in study- ing the life of plants examine more par- ticularly the form, structure, and devel- epment of their organs; while others at- tempted to explain their play and func- tions. The result of these labors was the birth of two new aciences—vegetable phy - siology and organegraphy. Modern physiologists have observed some extraordinary phenomena in plants, with which they have beeu differently im- pressed. They all, it is true, recognize a sensible analogy betweon these facts and eertain.animal instincts; but some see in these only isolated phenemena of second- lary importance, and propose to explain them by altogether mechanical or physi- cal theories; while others, on the contrary, attracted by the singularity of these facts, have studied them with close attention, and as the resalt of their observations have come to the conclusion that a plant ig an animated being, This is substan- tially admitted by Vrolik, Hedwig, Bon- net, afid Ludwig in their writings upon the phenomena which ‘seem to reveal a vegetable instinét. They all fnctine’ to the belief that plants experience every or- der of sensations. . F. Edward Smith, the English botanfst, thinks that plants can feel, and are capa- ble througli that faculty of a couscious- neas of well being and felicity. Percival believes that plants perform voluntaty actions whem they turn theif branches to the light. Among the’philosophers of the eight- teenth century who saw animated beings in plauts must also be ranked Dr. mus Darwin, the grandfather of the cel have throwa some light upon the vexed question of the origin of species. In that Goethe (“The Botanic Garden”), Dr. Darwin plainly asserts that in his eyes the plant isan animated being--a crea- of existence, of pain, and gladness. The new ideas ‘ which his books abounds éititle follews : depopulate tion. Russia is, of course, too busy with brated naturalist, whose recent works book, too little known, but the delight of tare capable of numerous sensations, as Dr. Martius, one of the most eminent mea of modern seience, accords to plants | not only the faculty of feeling, but also an immortal goul. To the voice of that celebrated botanist there has been lately added that of another, namely, Theodore Techner, an independent thinker, and not the least inspired among his German co- temporaries. He waa one of the first to enter into the questions which bear upon the develepment.ef the soul in plants. | pal views with it te be “starsy isan sy plants was recognized by the ancients. Empedecies, Anaxagoras, Democritus, Pythagoras, and Plate believed plants to be animated, and consequently ranked ple—have alsu regarded plants as avima- ted beings. Among the laws of Manu, laws which in India are believed te have emanated from God, and to be more an- cient than. these of Moves, are to be found doctrines and commandments as lhe aay > . Hd oe on Ta corre MD = oR children are t that men and animals have the faculty of motion and are living beings, and that plants attached to the soil live, it is true, but are not animat- —_o , would be quite otherwise if the preceptor said to his pupil, ‘Animated beings are divided into classés. One is composed of beings which possess the power of trana- porting themselves from place to place; tliese are men and animals. In the other class we find beings fixed in the soil where they are born; these are plants. The lat- ter resemble us less than animals, yet live and grow as wedo.” For these and many other reasons we believe them equally animated. If our children are thus taught they will be less indisposd when older to-deprive the plant of its soul than we are to recognize its existence at the present day. Such numerous and striking analogiea in the vital functions of beings in the two kingdoms, animal aud vegetable, are re- vealed by physiology every day, that no one can refuse to reflect upon the facts or reject without a candid examination the proposition we are about to coysider in a succeeding paper, that the plant is an an- imated and sentient being. R. C. K. —— TREE WASTE AND ITS SEQUENCE. The matter of forest tree culture and preservation is in rather an anomalous state in this country. At one end of the national domain, people are planting trees and studying every means to turn denud- ed land back inté forests, at the other woods are being felled and a small war is in progress against the Government on account of its preventive efforts. In Mas- sachusetts societies are organized to stim- ulate the preserving and renewing of for- ests; in Louisiaua, Alabama, Florida, aud Montana, the authorities are denounced as interfering with the best interests of the people, because an endeavor is made te stop the wholesale denuding of public lands and the sale of timber for private benefit. With the legal aspects of this question of forest destruction in the South and West, .it is not our province to deal, but the. considerations in favor of pro- merely to every agricalturalist, but to every one, and they should bo fully re- alized by all who believe that the only value of forests: lies in. the amount the, wood will fetch per cord. forests are inexhaustible, at least for a Hong period to come, he has only to cast his eye over the woodland map in Genera Walker's valuable statistical atlas to pre- ceive his delasion. He will see that the- number of heavily wooded tracts having 360 or more acres of timber to the square mile is startlingly small. The area of all such districts is equal only to about that of the Atlantic States,.and the remainder of the country, fully four-fifths, has ne timber, the map showing a uniform blank. Now consider the enormous amount of lomber used ,yearly in manufactures. Nearly $144,000,000 is invested in . the production of laths, shingles, aud boards. Add to this the fact stated by Professor Brewer that wood forms the fuel of two- thirds of the population, and the partial fuel of nine-tenthathe remaining third, and some geueral idea of the enormous. drain constantly in progresgupon our forests will be reached. This, however, is only the direct draught for the purpose of util- ity. Immense areas of woodland are yearly denuded by forest fires, largo tracts are purposely burned as a speedy way of élearing, and thus the wooded regions are rendered more and more sparse. If for- esta fires were prevented as far as is prac- ticable, if trees were constantly being planted, and if tho reckless denudation of woodlands could be stopped by the laws already in existence, but apparently not enforced, there is little doubt but that we possess timber enough to supply indefi- nitely all our needs either as fuel or for manufacturing purposes; but save in iso-- lated instances trees are not being plant- ed, we have no achools of forestry such as exist in Europe to encourage sylvicul- ture, and as the recent proceedings im Congress have shown, a part of the popu- lation claims the right for private ends to denude the woodlands now owned by the whole county, and defenders in the Leg- But, as M.

Rowan could not accept ah informal and unofficial notice for the meeting at Yadkinville. She could not, under the circumstances, regard the pro- ceedings of Surry, Yadkin and Davie as binding her to accept them ; nor especially, could she consent to rush into a District Convention by delegates unauthorized by her voters, whom it was impossible to con- sgt in the short time allowed her. This is the sum of what we meant to say, and re- gret our words should seem to have had any doubtful signification. We think ne-hann can come of the action of the western counties. The District Ex, Committee, which met at Mocksville on yesterday, will agree on a day acceptable to all the counties in the District, and that will end the trouble. Rowan desires to meet with the conservatives of the District, for whom she cherishes active sympathy and With whom she is anxions to co-operate in every enterprize for the promotion of good government, and feels confident that her western friends intend she shall have the privilege, The “old mother of eoanties” was a little behind in this movement, but she never fails to keep time with, tte music when the ball opens, and gencrably “fans out” the spryest of her daughters in the victories gained. —____~eme- HOUSE OF KEPRESENTATIYES.

March 19, 1878. . __) A CARD, To the People of Rowan. I hcreby announce myself a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Rowan, at the election in August next, subject to ae decision of the, County Conventibu. , I am a believer in the Cand old dovtripa which was enunciated and acted upon by Washington and the founders of the Republic, that there should be frequent rotation in office, It is one of the great fundamental principles of all free Republican governments, that the rulers, the office-holders, shoald be frequently taken from the ranks of the people. Asa general rule this principle is acted upon, and Presidents, Governors, Congressmen, Legislators and the like, are frequently chang- ed. And why should the one office of Sheriff be made an exception to this rule? Does it require more ability or Integrity to fill this office than all those? Or is it trae that there is but one man-in the county, in a generation of men, who is competent to fill the position? To say ‘this, is to insnlt the intelli- gence and the integrity of every good man in the county. As I do not expect to descend to personali- ties, I shall say nothing of the present incum- bent. I will however, do him the justice to any, that in the main he has filled the office credit: ably, but is that any reason why he should hold it for life? Two years ago he said to the people, “elect me this time, and I shall not want the office any longer.” How is he fulfilling this solemn pledge now? Does he deny it? Let him do so if he can. I desire to ask him this question :—Docr he intend to abide the decision of .the township and county nominating conventiofis ? For myself, I can only say, that if elected, I shall be content to discharge the duties of the office for not longer than two terms, and then give way for some one clae. Very respectfully, THEO. F. KLUTTZ con To the Voters of Rowan County.

And that they were kept from aaying and doing anything the “movement,” partly from the influence of popular setiment, and partly because the “movement” had many of the external eVidences of the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and so they deateted lest haply they should be found to fight against God.

And whelt has been the result? Ask those who were most ardent in their praises of Mur- ply one year ago; ask those who labored days and nights, gave thousands of mon- ey, and forgot everything else in their ad- veency of this reform and this reformer. "Their answer shall be my answer. Last winter it was constantly asserted that ‘saloons were being closed for want of custom ; that “to lets” were numerous. ‘This was true, I saw muclrof this with my own eyes, Butl went over theeity tecently ; saloous are all open, looking better patronized than ever; not # single **ty let” on a saloon to be seen.

He may goon to other places and do as he has done hefe, but there is no possibil- ity of his returning here,” There waasome good done; some refor- mation effected. No one will deny this, But not any more and probably not as much real advance made as would have been done by ordinary effort.

They are only retained for a short time, and returned by the Chief Rabbi to the governor, just as the keys of the city of London, on visits of the queen, are presented to her as an act-of homage, and then res- tored to thé safe keeping of the civic magis- trates. The ceremony was Witnessed by Mr. and Mrs, Finn, of the British Consulate, and Signor Pierotti, on the accession of the Sultan Abdul Assiz, This recognition of the Jews asthe rightful owners of the Hely City is, at present, a mere form, but it may be the symbol and presage of a real and permanent transfer of power to'be witness- ed in the future, The restoration of the Jews to Palestine is an idea at present chief- ly discussed by students ot prophecy. But it may come to be a great political reality. It is an old saying that he who is master of Syria has the key to Egyt, Let the Jews posse s again their own land, and it would matter little to “British interests” whether the Russians or the Turks rule elsewhere. The passage to india by the Suez canal is the chief “British interest” that can be en- dangered by any change of power in these regions, and Egypt would be safe if the Jews were guaranteed, by the E .ropean powers, in the possession of Syria, This may come to be the true solution «f “the Eastern question,”"— The Sunday at Heme. —_ — - Cuurcn Sorp.—The Episcopal Church of the Intercession, of New York, which cost $80,000, has been sold under foreclos- ure for $40,000.

I find that it pays a great deal better to seloct a very rich piece of old land, break it early and deep, and harrow well. Then, when your plants yet large enough to set out lay off your ground three*feet wide, and if you don't wish to hill it, plant your tobacco on the edge of the furrow, abont 16 inches apart. By so doing you will make more tobacco than you know what to do with. I fellowed this last year and made from half an acre 1,822 pounds of tobacco.

The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public went of the business men and of the interests of the county. The time hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have a public journal of its own to represent its inter- ests in the various affairs of business, local and general. There is no-county in the State that would not be greatly benefited by a journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it serves; and every citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, as a means of increase ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the inure beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for its support is far Jess than the material good it does, it is the best invest- ment any county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is expecially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to his readers the fagts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be trne in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in aceord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believesthat the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776.. The danger. was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and glociousiy rescuéd the imperiled liberties of the people. While that party shall continue more pure and trnly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it. But the main design of The Record is to serve the county of Davidson in all the ways it may be possible to advance her interests and pro- mote the welfate of her people. And to this end the nndersigned desires such intimate re- lations with her citizens as shal] enable him ¢o perform bis duty efficiently. The paper will be published weekly at $1 a year in advance. It will be small, but neatly printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes to make up imquality what may be lacking in size. The first number will appear about the first week in January, 1878.

No wonder the heathen my thologists | deified these stars into seven sweet sis- ters, descendants of the immortal gods, changed into a group of celestial statuary, looking down upon us with “bright eyes and broken hearts,” from their lofty home.

There is not a jeweliu the crown of Night, not adiamond on the brow of princes, not a flower ia the gardeus of the Orient, which we as eid, ees refer- ring if to its reptiate likeness ia some ie Seca female face and form. Pleasant for us indeed would it be, if, as in ancient Eden, the flowers never faded, the luminaries above shone with perennial lustre and the human beings we love had. the forms of immortality.

The United States Consul at Buenos Ayres, in a recent report, states: “Ihave been in receipt ef frequent letters since T have been here, asking in regard to the! conditions and prospects of Igbor in this | country. I would not advise anybody to come bere with a view to bettgring his condition, They cannot. expect to find euployment of any kind. Every variety of manual and mechanical labor is suffer- ing with the general depression of” basi- ness, and establishments requiring skill- ed labor are reducing rather than inereas- ing the number of their employees. If persons will come here in search of work, they should bring sufticient. wouey with them to pay their return expenses. Every few days the consulate ia visited by dis- tressed Americans, who, having been in- duced to come out here, haye been sadly disappointed upon their arrival to find no opportunity to earn a livelilrood ; thus, finding themselves without means either to live here or return home, they become objects of charity.” It will appear from the tenor of this as from other simila, communications from our consuls in different parts of the world, that our country is not the only one suf- fering from hard times, and that itis very little use for an Americau workingman to leave his country in the hopes of bettering uis condition.

Dnring the last week a pauniber of cases of crimes of the most shocking charac cer have either occurred or been developed, or have been brought Lome to the perpe- trators, by Graham, a dissolute yonnyg man, employ- ed by Benjamin Hunter, of Camden, N. J., lias made a confession which inplieates both himself aud his employer iu the mur- der of James M. Afmstrong at that city a few weeks ago. Armstrong owed Hunter woney, and the latter by killing him bop- ed to obtain a sum which would be forth- coming on a life iasurance policy. Hun- ter hired Graham to do the deed, and then assisted iu its execution. The deed, was one of the most revolting ever recorded. Not the least shockisg of the occurrences of the week is the lynehing of a murderer at Wheelffg, Va., on Suuday, morning, by a large baud of armed Hién, who forci- bly took him from the offieer in charge, himself had killed ¢wo wouten aud babe and after dragging him néarly a wile by a rope uroand his neck, Hung him to a tree.

The Ring!” was raised. The Ring was to buy at a nominal price alk the steek of poor men, and all stock of the opposition that they were unable to keep. The Freedmen were very tuach excited. They could only see in the law, evil for them, their stock wrested from them—or standing in peus, starving and dying, and to add to their misery y Reverend wag cirenlated a re- port among them that the srakes would over-run the land. “Put up the hogs and the woods will get full ef them.” “You know hogs eat snakes and that is what keeps them down.” “Pot up the hogs and in a few years suakes will be thicker thau leaves.” Those of a religious turn of mind argued that God made. grass to row wild, cxpressty for stock, and if the atock was penned how could they get to it, to eat it, forgetting that God said, *Thoa shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbor's.” The friends of the law urged that it was au relic of slavery, that free labor could ‘not stand such an overous tax, and gave estimates of the probable amount that would be saved, &e., &e. The Northern men and foreigners, whether here as far- mers, niners or wechauics, joined with the frieuds of the stock law and urged its agoption. They stated that the old sys- tem was the great barrier to immigration, &e., &e. The day of election came, aud the stock- law was voted down by a large majority. The law provided if the county refitsed to ratify it, the trustees of any township could submit it to their township by giv- ing thirty days notice. The Trustees of the Southern townships immediately post- ed the notiees for au election. The no- tices were posted according to law, bat it is suid the people did not talk much about it. When the day of election came the law was adopted and many, many a freed- man wovdered how it was. ‘They had killed it in the county and got it in their township.” All went to work to adapt themselves to the new order of things, and before a year had passed all oppusi- tion had died out and those who were op- posed to the measure became its strongest | advocate.

Pink Hall, it seems, bad promised Wesley that ke would meet bim, bat he failed to when called, and so Batler had the Geld te hiinself, A large crowd col- kers who had no other object than to mike mopey out of these whom they could mislead, He said Pink Hall him- self bad no idea of going te Liberia; but that if he had, he (Butler) had friends who would make up one handred dollars to pay his passage. “Let him come for- ward and eater into the proper bonds to insure his going and we'll have him over- board for Libera before te-morrow night.” Ne res to this and the speaker re- sumed, “Ak, bat he ain't agwine. No sir, he’d rather stay here and persuade others te go. He isa deceiver and will not practice what he preaches. He's a carpet-bagger or the agent of one—al- ways trying to stir up trouble for others sud put money in his own pocket, A man come here from Charlotte on the samé business, and went around telling the negroes that the government had be- eome so weak there was no longer any protection for them in this cogutry, That was 4 lie and he soon found out it would- n't take, and so he changed his argument» and said this was a white man’s govern- ment and the negro could never be any- thing in this country, I told him it was pn free country and it would happen ta a man according as he behaved himself, That we were ansong the people we had been raised up with, as free as they were, and wanted him to tell me how much bet- ter off are the negroes in St. Domingo and Haytj than we; and how much better was the government of Liberia, but he didn’t know nothing about it.” We left Wesley Tooming out and calling for Piuk, and understand he failed to raise his man, ‘a sncaking bash-whacker,” as he called him, Ja The great Eastern question of peace or war still hangs in suspense. The news cousiats of rumors, often very conflicting and uncertain. There is general coucar- rence however in the main fact of great danger of Russia and England coming to blows, and both powers are preparing for that contingency. It ia said England is about to oceupy Crete ; Victoria’s call for troops will be sustained by the Parlia- ment; that Austria will resist the enforce- mentof the San Stefano treaty; that Turkish fecling is s0 strongly set against Russia that the Turkish authorities will net dare to enter into an alliance with her if so disposed ; that Russiaus have not yet altogether decided against submitting the treaty to the decision of a European Congress; that the feeling at Berlin is that the difficulties can all be peaceably sottled, based on the belief that Russia will concede what is necessary to that end. Certainly thia state of things must give place te something of a decided char- acter very acon, and it should be the prayer of all that the Amighty Ruler of kingdoms and nations would direct ijt ac- cording to His infinite wisdom and mer- cy. The news by yesterday's telegrams is more favorablefor peace. The great Ger- man Premier Biamarck, haa determined to exert himaslf for the preservation of peace, and this of jteelf inspires hope, There is @ more pacific temper manifested both in England and Russia—s rent in the dark cloud which hands over the prospects of the East. Tggal but Wrong,—The town tax col- lector has advertised a number of town Jots.for sale for the taxes. The gdver- sisement js plainly written and posted at ‘the Court House and Post Office, But thisde very imperfect notive and may not be seen by those most deeply interested, and may work to the serious injury of property holders. The officer is doubtless vbeying the instructions of the Board of Commissioners who adopt this mode be- cause it is the jeast expensive, which in mayy cases, is 9 proper rele fur the dis- charge of the trust in their hapds. It may be so in this case for this particular Jeeality, though we are not prepared to show that it is. We seo by our “exehan- gee,” however, that a different rule is pursged in nearly ali those towns where #® newspaper is published. Almost with- out exeeption the authorities elsewhere order such notices to be published in pome of the lécal|papers, and we conjec- ture tho motive for it has reference en- tivély to the superiority of the mode.

Most of the factories which pay so handsomely have been sold at some time for half cost, which accounts for 25 per ceut on invested capital.” SE Judges.—A prominent gentleman in Western N. C., who takes little or uo part iu polities, but whose sympathies are al- ways active in behalf of the State, differs with those who contend for nomination of Judges by Districts, believing it increases chances for the succeas of unworthy men, closes his few remarks on the subject with a sentiment which we know every honest man will accept, to wit: “@ive us Judges with State reputation.” It is a safe rule, and will rebuild the once solid character of our Judiciary. —~_—__ + _or—_ -—— The Raleigh Observer of the 6th, in a renewed reference to the case of Miller vs. Miller, from Rowan, records the fact that Judge Reade dissents to the opinion of the Court, but “whether to the law, or to the manner of stating it, or to both,” says that paper, ‘‘we are not informed, and have no means of knowing.” So much for Judge Reade, who has been so fro- quently criticised*by the press. eae Peter Cooper, the eminent New York philanthropist, has closed the contract with Major Bomar, fora very handsome property in South Carolina on which he proposes to erect an Institution similar to the Cooper Institute, endow it liberally and present it to the State. Mr. Cooper will soon visit the site with reference to laying plans, &c., and the Atlanta Air Line Co., will meet him at their northern terminus with a special train which they will place at his service indefinitely. He is to be the guest of Gov. Hampton while in Seuth Carolina. - In the excellent address of the Demo- cratic Executive Committee, oceurs this passage—‘At the Inst clection we cnat 125,000 yotes, the ballots of white men !” Good enough; but let us bear in mind that the Republicans cast at that same election 108,000 votes, the ballots mainly of colored men. It requires a change of lese than ten thousand votes to give our political adversary the majority. Dissen- sions in our ranks will cause that number of men to slough off. Hence the neces- sity of standing by the organization. Cock Fighting.—There was cock fight- ing at Charlotte, Tuesday, on a large scale—Georgia against North Carolina. Each side will show 25 cocks, and large sums of money are stake en the contest— the amount variously estimated at from forty to sixty thousand dollars. News- paper reporters from New York were on hand to report the battles.

ADDRESS OF THE STATE DEMOCRATIC EX- ECUTIVE COMMITTEE, To the Democratic-Conservatire Party of North Carolina, Under the constitution and laws of North Carolina there are to be elected on the first day of August, 1873, a chief jus- tice and two associates justices of the Su- preme Court ; three judges of the Superior Court ; a solicitor for each judicial district; members of the Genera] Assembly ; a reg- ister of deeds, surveyor, coroner, sheriff, and treasurer for the several counties ; and constables for the towyships, reapec- tively, At a meeting of the State exceutive committee of the Democrgtie party jt was determined to hold a State convention at Raleigh on Thursday, June 13, 1878, for the purpose of nominating caudidates for ed for thronghout the State. It was, how- ever, resol ved that the execytivecommittee request the several judicial districta for which Superior Court judges are to be ehosey to hold district conventions and recommend to the State convention can- didates fer the office of judge from their respective districts. It was also resolved to appoint an ex- ecutive committee fer each jadicial dis- triet, whose duty it shall be to determine the time and place of holding the conven’ tions for their respective districts. They are requested to take prowpt action in calling together the district conventions, The committee congratulates the Dem- ecratic party of North Carolina on the steady and rapid growth of its principles and policy, not only ju our own State, but likewise throughout the entire Union, Ha}f a dozen years ago our party was without power jn the Federal government; two years later we had wrested the con- trol of the House of Representatives from the Republican party, and to-day our as- cendancy jy the Seuate of the next Con- gress is absolutely assured.

To as the people of the State have giv- en the supremacy, apd they have com- mitted to the keeping of the Democracy the destiny of our Commonwealth and the welfare and prosperity of our citizens. We have gained step by step on our poli- tical adversaries until at length the only department of our State remaining under their control is the judiciary. And now we are rapidly approaching the day when the Supreme Court itself is to be composed of Democratic jurists ; for nove can doubt that the nominations made by our con- vention will be triumphantly ratified at the polls by an overwhelming majority, Then will North Carolina be fully and completely redeemed—and the last re- maining vestige of the Canby military election will have passed away. In publishing this call for our Demo- eratic convention, the committee was di- rected to request that all North Carolinans who love good order and have a proper regard for the due administration of jus- tice, should join with us in making oar nominations for those high and responsi- bie judicial offices. We call then upon all true sons of North Carolina to come together, inspired by an ennobling pa- triotism, and nominate and elect our best and truest and greatest sons to these ex- alted judicial stations. ‘The officers so chosen are to sit in; judgment on our rights of property, our lives, our liberties. Their court is the court of last resort. From their decision there is no appeal. Let us then approach their selection profoundly impressed with the importance of the oc- oa ty. casion; let us subordinate our personal preferences, and animated by a worthy ambition, seek to restore to this supreme tribunal the exalted character to which it had attaiued in the days of the highest We recommend te our friends in every township and ward te hold primary mect- ings, at which delegates may be selected by ballot or otherwise to their county conventions—where in like manner, dele- gates shall be chosen to represent the counties in the State convention. In these primary meetings we urgently | 4g reeommend that the utmost fairness and impartiality shall be observed—that har- mony shall be considered of prime impor- tance, and that nv practices tending to disaffection or disorganization shall re- ceive the slightest countenance or sanc- tion. The Democratic party is the party of the people. Itis the instrument by which the people accomplish their aims and purposes. It is the people—banded together in one great organization or se- ciety to protect their rights, to advance their interests, to promote their prosperi- ty and to perpetuate those liberties which make our country at once the envy of op- pressed nations and the crowning glory of mankind. Within this organization the utmost freedom is allowed—the largest liberty of sentiment—the freest expres- sion of opinion, controlled alone by the great prineiples of Democracy and the yeages and practices of the party. But harmony must prevail—order must be observed! The will of the organization is the wil] of the people! When express- ed it must be respected—it must be obey - Private judgment must yield to the col- lected judgment of ‘the whole; and if any oue should perad venture suffer an injury let him bear it with fortitude, gloryfying in the triamph of the organization even though he lose the prize of his ambition. In partienlar de we earuestly entreat that no ove shall countenance an inde- pendent candidate, “Independency” means opposition to the Democratic party. He who resorts to it seeks his own prefer- ment at the expense of his friends. He seeks to disintegrate-to disorganize—to destroy. He lends himself as a willing tool to the opponents of his own politica] associates. He is more hurtful than an avowed antagonist because he claims to be a friend, and refrains from wearing the upifurm of the enemy only that he may the better accomplish his selfish purposes. Hisaim and desire is self-aggrandizement; and he would barter away the rights of his party that he may enjoy the emola- ments of office. In conclusion, we therefore urge that harmony shall prevail—that disorganiza- tion be discountenanced, and that we ad- here steadfastly to the principles and gaages of our grand old party whose triumphs in the past give an assurance of still greater triumphs in the fature.

Averaging he sassafras at 35 ceuts per pound, we have $11,270.70; the penny-royal at 85 ents: $1,147.50; making a total of $12, 18.20. These figures show what the usiness is to our country people. 0-- —— Whon the alarm of fire was sounded esterday morning, from the various ‘laces of business could be seen the nu- werous candidates fur office, starting on a un—and run they did—but as usual me of them didn’t get there. The run f the candidate for Register of Deeds was »od. The Sheriff ran was nip and tuck tween three. Upon the whole the wind nd run was good. But who will win, e can’t say. ——o The “Superannuated Club” is iad a pros- erous, yea flourishing condition.

We are glad to note his presentation; for it indicates a sound, healthy condition of the Band, and shows hat they don’t believe in “half dvings.” a The alarm of fire was given Tuesday morning—it proved to be an out-house in e yard of Mr. A. Murphy, which caught ire from a stove. Several men cut hrough the floor and goon extinguished e flames. We are glad to note the romptness of both the Hook & Ladder ‘ompany and the colored Fire Co. The ormer made their appearance in about 5 minutes after the alarm, the latter was only a few minutes later. Taking into consideration the faet that they stopped on the public square and filled their en- gine, it was remarkable good time. ————o——_ Tuesday ‘of: this Week was a dreary |. rainy day. All who were not necessarily forced to be oat, were'in’ doors, and en- joyed themselves as Vest they « eould. While we were absorbed ‘in deep thought —probably a day-dream—we were sur- prised by the entrance of Mr. Rogers, es- corting in kiugly style, the popular editor of the Concord Sun, His face was radiant with smiles; he shook oar hand and said ‘he had come up to let us know that he was going’ with the Press gang to the Sparkling Catawba, and that he would have written us a postal, but that the mails were so uncertain.’ We ure always glad to see Harris. oo How the jail birds-arouse themselves in Concord.—It seems that they are crowded for room in the Concord jail—two or three prisoners in edch cell. Last week, three negro men confined in one cell, having exhausted their resources for amusement, concluded to try their-heads at butting. They made several licks at the brick wall which preved satisfactory —tilled the bill --just the thing for fan. One, more en- thusiastic than the others, proposed to show them something, and went to the far end of the room and made a rush— sheep fashion—striking the wall fairly. The Degtors say he may get well, but it is very doubtfal. His skull was badly fractured. : —_———<oe I announce myself as a candidate for re-election to the office of Register of Deeds for Rowan, subject to the decision. of the County Convention. HORATIO N.

I hereby announce myself as a candi- date for re-election to the offiee of High Sheriff of Rowan County, subject to the decision of the county nominating con- vention. Cc. F. WAGGONER. March 19, 1873. ee A CARD. To the People of Rowan. I hereby announce myself a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Rowan, at the election in August next, subject to the decision of the County Convention. I aun a believer in the sound old doctrine which was enunciated and acted upon by Washington and the founders of the Republic, that there should be frequent rotation in office. It-fe one of the great fundamental, pringiples of all free Republican governments, that the rulers, the offige-holders, should be frequently taker from the ranks of the people. Asa general rule this principle is acted upon, and Presidenta,Governors, Congressmen, Legislators and the like, are frequently chang- ed. And why should the one office of Sheriff be made an exception to this rule? Does it require more ability or integrity to fill this office than all those? Or ia it true that there is but one man in the county, in a generation of men, who is competent to fill the position? To say this, ix to insult the intelli- gence and the integrity of every good man in the county. As I do not expect to descend to peraorali- ties, L shall say nothing of the present incum- bent. I will ever,lo him the justice to aay, that in the main he has filled the office creditably, but is thas any reason why he should hold it for life? Two years ago he said to the people, “elect me this time, and I shall not want the office any longer.” How is he fulfilling this solemn pledge now? Dves he deny it? Let him do so if he can. I desire to ask him this question :—Does he intend to abide the decision of the township and county nominating conventions? For myself, I can only say, that if elected, I shall be content to discharge the duties of the office for not longer than two terms, and then give way for some one else. 1 Ve Hy, "Theo.

ANOTHER FARMER. ae Orrick oF ATTORNEY GENERAL, } Raleigh, N.C., April 2, 1878. _{ Joux 8S. HENDERSON, Esq., Attorney for Board of Com’rs of Rowan. Dear Sir: i Your letter requesting my opigion as to the proper construction of the proriso in Section 5, Chapter 141, Laws 1876—'77, has been received, and as it is a matter of pub- lic concern, I think it proper that I should give you the result of my investigations in reference thereto. The proviso is as follows: ‘tiPrevided howecer, That the board of county fommijs- sioners shalt not have power tq heyy taxes to purchase real property, to remove or de- signate new sites for county buiflings, to construct or repair bridges, the cost whereof may exceed $500, or to borrow money for the county, nor alter or make additional townships, without the concurrehce of a majority of the Justices of the Peace sitting with them,” &¢, Upon examination of the original Act on file in the Secretary of State's office, I find that there is no comma after the word “taxes;” and that removes the appa- rent difficulty. It seems to be clear there- fore that the legislature intended to restrict the power of the commissioners if they wished to levy taxes to purchase real prop- erty” &c., and not permit its exercise in such cases “ without the concurrence of a majority of the Justices of the Peace sitting with them.” I do not think it hag reference to the power to levy taxes to defray the or- dinary current expenses of the county, but that the restriction is cenfined to the partic- ulars mentioned in the proviso, Yours, &c.

Yesterday was like a bower; Every where sweet roses twi Musie gushed in every breeze, Incense rae every wind. Beauty open the gates at morn, Glory tilled the noonday air; Golden vistas stretched away ‘'o enchanted regions fair. At the gorgeous sunset’s close, Splendor struggling with decay — Rainbows spanned the dreamy void “{'wixt to-day and yesterday. ned— But to-day the boughs are bare, And the winds are hoarse ayd chill; Monrnful shadows veil the sun, Black clouds overhang the hill. Blight has settled on the rose, Every dew-drop is w tear; Silence seems a fitful moan Stitied back in wildest tear. Not a lark to herald morn— Not ove gleam of twilight ray; Strange how wintry blight crept in 'Twixt to-day and yesterday. TT LL Decline in the State Churches of Ger- many. —— Something of an inside view of matters in the so-called Evangelical Church of Prussia, that is the United or State Church, is furnished by aBerlin correspondent of the Christian Union, jin which he describes the nature of the controvesies and pro- ceedings which are so disabling to the cause of truth and piety there. ‘The writ- er Bays: The controversy has at least three sides: political, ecclesiastical, and doctrinal ; and no one can rightly comprehend the is- gue who has not studied it in these three points of view, And first I will try to make clear the political aspect of the case. ‘To the German mind the Church is one of the institutious of the State—that is to say it is one of the permanent historical institutions of political society, Which the governnient is bound in some way to foster und conserve. If, of late, the conviction has been growing that religion would jrogper better if absolutely independent of State interyeution in chureh affairs, this conviction is overpowered by custom and feeling ; and no party has yet arisen to demand the final separation of the Church from the Crown. Indeed, down to a recent period, every chil born in Prussia came to the cognizance of the State asa subject through his inherited faith, whether Catholic or Evangelical. For the child of Christian parents baptism was gompulsory, and the church’ record of baptism was the certificate of citizenship. Not long ago, in entering my name upon the census roll, I styled myself a Chris- tian. The agent said this would not an- pwer; there was no such classitication. J must enter myself either as evangelical vr Catholic. The line is strictly drawn between Catholic and Evangelical, and everybody must be ranged on one side or the other. The ecclesiastical laws of 1873, famili- arly known as the Falk laws, in order to reak the power of the Roman Catholic ierarchy agaiust the State, removed the pbligation of baptism and confirmation, pnd made marriage a purely civil act, not yequiring tle service of 9 vlorgymai nor the sanction of the Church. These meas- nres of political necessity were hardly less pbnoxious to the high orthodox party in the Evangelical Church than to the Ultra- montanes in the Roman Church. They broke the power of the clergy over the people, But the Falk laws sought to en- jist the popular clenicnt in the Evangel- feal Church in thé conflict against clerical supremacy, and so the people were given | a voice in the administration of church fi- ances, and in the election of church offi- cers. This freedom was not absolute, but ‘sufficient to bring into ecclesiastical af- fairs a new and powerful element of lib- eralism, “ ‘ The most telling section of the laws was borrowed from the New York code, which makes each particular cobgregation a cor- poration to be administered by ‘trustees, and amesable to the laws that govern corporations in genéral. By this provi- sion, all niale members of a parish, twenty- four years of agé and not paupers, can vote for the representative of the parish, provided they have resided in the parish for a year, have paid their parish taxes and are duly registered electors. This corresponds very nearly to-thé écclesias- tieal society in the Congreyatioual system, aa distinguished from the church spirit- eal.’ ‘ . The effect of this new constitution of the parishes was at first rather startling in an ecclesiastical point of view. For h long time the churches had been pretty mach deserted by the male portion of the ‘State. To meet this . among conservatives in both Church and things—to give play to the lay element in the parish, and at the same time to guard the Chareh in its pulpit and creed against the rush of radicalism from beneath, and the pressure of political imperialism from above—a new constitution was devised in 1875 by a General Synod of the Evangeli- eal Church, which was sanctioned by Par- liament and the Crown, and is now un- dergoing the test of practical application. ‘The parish as @ territorial body and the parish as an electoral body remain as con- stitated under previous laws of the State; and the representative body of the parish retains the privileges described abeve. But the constitution creates for the par- ish av additional body of spiritual advis- ers, a council or presbytery consisting of not less than four nof more than twelve members, whose duties nearly correspond to those of the session in the Presbyterian Charch. ‘This parochial coancil bas the general oversight of matiers of worship, doctrine and discipline within the parish. The whole domain of the Evangelical Church is divided inte six provinces, aud euch of these is subdivided into districts. Next above the parish bodies comes dis- trict synods. Of these the elergy are mem- bers ex-officio ; the lay members, who are double the number of the clerical, are chosen by the parish bodies. These dis- trict synods in turn elect from their own members deputies to the provincial syn- ods, to which are added members appoint- ed by the Crown, in the ratio of one to six. ‘Then these proviucial synods choose } deputies to the General Synod which meets once in six years. To this body the king has the absolute right of appoin- ting thirty members. Each provinee has one or more general superintendent, and these are ex officio members of the General Synod. Above all the bodies, as the final court of appeal, is the Supreme Church Council, appointed by the Crown. Here is a very complicated piece of ec- elesiastical machinery. Ou the one hand, the system starting from the particular parishes gives opportunity for latitudina- rianism in dvctrine or practice among clergy orlaity, to permeate the whole body up to the General Sy nod. On the other hand, at each succeeding stage of the eoustitution, there are checks and devices that may be used to restrain or counteract the popular will. It is just at this point that the machinery is now put to a severe strain. That the controversies in the Prassian Chureh should invole doctrinal disputes ism matter of course; and the arthodox party have pushed these disputes into prominence as being the gist of the whole quarrel. Neverthe}ess this sudden zeal for orthodoxy would hardly have sprang ap had there not been behind the dogmas a question of political influence and of ec- clesiastical power. The latitudinarian preaching of thirty years ago has worked effectually among the liaty, and there isa widespread dis- belief in the Bible as a supernatural reve- lation, in the divinity of Christ, and in any form of miracle—thoagh among the Ger- mans those who do accept the miraculous do this with a simplicity of faith phat bor- ders on credulity and superstition. The materialistic speculations of physical sci- ence in recent years have so far infected society at large in Germany, that an hon- est and intelligent belief in the miracles of the Bible is seldom found in cultivated circles, and is perhaps stil} more rareamong the common people. The orthodox party, having a majori- ty among the clergy, led by men more zealous for the faith than wise in defen- ding it, have of late attempted to earb the latitudinarianism in the pulpit by ecclesi- astical discipline. The first attempt, four years ago, was winds the moment of apparent success. Dr. Sydow, one of the oldest pastors of Berlin, was condemned the supernatural birth and the divine na- ture of Christ; bat the Supreme Church Council overruled this judgment on the ground that Dr. Sydow had not propoun- ded his heresies from the pulpit on Sun- day, but in a lecture given in a secular place ou a secular day of the week! But now comes Mr. Hossbach frankly avow- ing his latitudinarianism from the pulpit, in his trial sermon as a candidate for St. James’ church ; and on the basis of that sermon he is elected by the congregation to be its pastor. Whether this call shall be sanctioved by Mr. Hossbach’s induction into office is the question now before the Supreme Chuyeh Conncil, In the mean- time he has been elected chairman of the Berlin Synod right under the noses of the Council. ‘The case is likely to be dispos- ed of by declining to install him over St. James’, because this isan influential parish, and some members protest agninst his settlement, but to leave him in his place in St. Mark's, because that is an out-of-the- way parish, and nobody objects to him! Stich a decision, likp that in the Sydow case, would of course evade the real issue, and create new complications for the fu- ture. $$ $$$ _—— Bible Printing at Beirat. palation, who were willing enough to conform to’ such religious usages as the State had enjoined, but were othérwise disposed to let religion alone, The men Who took interest'in church “affairs were chiefly dignified conservative old gentle- juen, respectable for their piety, to whom chureh-going was a matter of social eti- qnette.

The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public wentof the business men and of the interests of the curnty. ‘The time hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have a public journal of its own lo represent its . inter- esis in the varivus afftirs of business, lucal and general. There is no county in the State that would not be geeatly benefited by a journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the Conduunity, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality and pride of the section jt server; and every citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, ax a means of increas: ing its uxefulness and extending it influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the more beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for its support is far leas than the material good it does, itis the best invest- ment any county can make, The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty of: every man to keep himself well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is expecially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to his readers the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himeelt to be trne in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the suke of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in aevdrd ‘with the views and feelings ofthe Demoeratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched frem the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776. The danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdoru and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously reacued the imperiled liberties of the people, While that party shall continne more pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it. But the main design of The Record is to serve the county of Davidson in all the ways it may be possible to advance her interests and pro- mote the welfare of her people. And to this end the nndersigned desires such intimate re- lations with her citizens ar shal] enatle him to perform his duty efficiently, The paper will be published weekly at $1 a year in advance, It will be small, but neatly printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes to make up if quality what may be lacking in size. The first number will appear about the first week in January, 1878. : Very respectfulis, Cc. H. BRUNER, CONSUMPTION CURED.

But this is no evidence of reason or intelligence on the part of the bee, for its ten thousandth progenitor made just as - good wax and honey from the flowers of Eden, But the the . re most belpless helpmeet who made the first female robe of fig leaves, with bark’ fibre fer thread and a thorn for a needle, have Lecotve in a thousand generations of toil avd stady but a little lower than the an- gels, aud the present race of men, in civ- jlized countries, aré ‘masters of physical nature and have sabducd all the elements to their use. AMONGST THE INVENTORS. If you wish to be well convinced of the progress of the world in all useful arts and sciences, go With me for an hour to the model rooms of the Patent Office. The superintendent of this department, Mr. R. C. Gill, is a most affable and obliging gentleman, who will show us all the won- ders of the place. Not all, for it would require the bard labor of months to make to make the most casual examination of the many thousands of models in this vast collection. ‘The model cases of the Patent Office gives us a picture of the inventive genius of the world. Here before us is the practical brain power of many thon- sind men, who gave many sleepless nights aid toilsome days to evolve from a crude first idea, a perfeet machine or contri- vance, whose achievements should im- press themselves upon the fortunes of the great world itself. The field of invention, discovery and application as represented here, covers every department of human interest or industry. Think of everything strange, new or curious that you ,ever heard of, and then come here to find it duplicated with variations, perhaps a hundred times. We boys of tifty years ag6pused -to drop five grains of corn to a hill and a pump- kin seed or bean, to every fifth hill, and it took a smart boy to keep ap with two hoes in covering. Just think of 647 corn droppers patented up to 1373.) This may serve a8 an illustration to show how the work of invention goes ow in every de- partment of haman iudustry. One would naturally suppose that about everything valuable had been found out, and that there was “nothing new under the sun.” Quite to the contrary, past snecess only stimulates to new exertion and achieve- ment. The year 1877 shows 13,619 pat- ents granted, a larger number than iu any previous year, except 1309, in which 13,- 986 patents were issued. Before the fire last summer the rooms and cases-of the Patent .Office contained. about 200,000 models, aud nearly half of these were in- jured or utterly destroyed by the confla- gration. Many of the half consumed models are being restored, and as you walk through the long hatls of the “burnt district” and see the piles upon piles of ruined models, you wonder at the terrible holocaust of brain work—a work that had cost the iuventive genius of the country half a century to build up and the fire flend only a few hours to destroy. FARMING IMPLEMENTS AND MACHINES. The tarmer is the world’s almoner. Standing at his granary door he distrib- utes the fruits of the svil to hungry wil- lions, Famine-stricken nations show What would be the fate of the world with- out prosperity to the farming interest. The primary aud -paramoant importance of this industry has naturally turned the efforts of inventors strongly in this direc- tion. More than thirty thousand patents have been granted for tools, contrivances and processes to benetit the farmer. At the very foundation of all these is the plow. In Italy they still use the old sharpened stick harnessed to 4 doukey with a grass rope, after the fashion of the early Romans, In fact the farming im- plements of that country, are almost iden- tical with those found in the ruins of Pompei, and show that Ital y has stood still nearly two thousand years. In perfect- ing the plow, America has outstripped all other countries, and our improved im- plements of this elass save annually more than $100,(0),000 in labor as compared With the rnde old wooden plows of the last century.

The Globe- Demo- crat strenuously advocates the introduc- tion of the bell-panch in that city; and in doing so, uses these pointed words: “The bell-punch is coming, as sure as fate, and we may as well recognize it. | Nothing can be said against it.

A novel machine has been tested by the United States Fish Commissioners which will, it is hoped, prevent the heavy loss always incurred by the transporta- tiou of small fry over the long railroad routes. The machine consists of a series of long levers with peculiar backets on the end, in which the fish eggs are placed. These levers project from the centre of the seow, in which they are placed, out over the guuwales, and are made to dip in and out of the water at slow and regu- lar intervals, by the revolution of the shaft or cylinder to which they are attach- ed, the eggs being in constantly changing water and receiving that requisite amount of agitation which is necessary for their hatching. The Fish Commissioners have titted up a fleet of four scows, each pro- vided with a steam apparatas, and this squadron was, started out of Baltimore fer the South Atlantic shad streams, mak- ing Avoca, near the mouth of the Roan- oke River, Albemarle Sound, in our State, the base of operations.— Red.

For example, a thor- ouguly efficient feeder suitable for use in the case of an adult does not exist, and expert nurses revive the old-fashioned butter boat. A shaded hand lanp, of ne greater weight than may be ‘borne on a finger, and so contrived that the light assailing the eyes of the patient, is not quite out of reach of any middle classs family, and therefore available only for the wealthy, or the fortunate inmates ef hopitals, alone meet the requirement of cleanliness without discomfort. The like is trne of nearly all the apparatus for the relief of pain by change of posture, and for securiug immunity from pressure, or steadiness iv a particular position. The rich and the poor are provided, but not the multitude in narrow ciretimstances with small and inelastic financial rescour- ces. The stages of convalesceuce fs in many respects the most trying of all. Itis then that petty avvoyances, such-as.arise from noises, draughts, smoke, foui vapors, bad or ill managed light, improperly cooked food, nanseous remedies administered in uncleanly and ancomfortable cups or glasses, knives, forks, and spoons that turn over with a clatter, things that fall orare readily knocked down, irriating wall papers, hard, lumpy, or two soft beds, burdensome or cold bedclothes, beds that can only be putin order with labor and confusion. ‘There is scarcely an ar- ticle or piece of apparatus, for the sick chamber which is not obviously suscepti- ble of improvemeut, and would not repay the thonght expended upon it, if placed within reach of families with small in- comes, who feel the cost of @otfort ia sickness.

The physician should be able to direct those in charge of the sick what to provide, where to obtain all necessary appliances, and how to use them when at hand. This is a matter of more than common importance, and it is with the view of reminding the profession and the prodacers of special apparatus— efficient and inexpensive—of the conspicu- ous part their enterprise should play in minimizing the discomforts of the sick, we bring the sabject under notice—Lan- cet. ‘i jgerad bas pii tay i. Fae alg Tr ee 2 ee tat ‘ ; if a It. is daubs are made to be sold for what they are not the business of making and mount- ing imitation works of -art is objectiona- ble. The daubs, known to the trade as “buckeyes,” are turned out by the thous- and, some shops in this city being able to produce them at the rate of a hundred a day. About nine-tenths of them are copies of landscapes. The “artists” need only so much skill as will enable them to handle a common paint brush or to man- age a stencil plate. In many of the shops the most of the work is done by boys and girls earning from fifty cents to a dollara day. The maturer workmen paint by the piece, getting from fifty. cents to two dol- lars for each painting. They paint entirely by rule, using paiats and canvas prepared by the manufactur- ers. The canvas costs about eight cents a square yard. Poor artists are employ- ed by the day to touch ap the pictures, which are varnished to hide their more glaring faults, and then flashingly mounted ia imitation gilt frames. The entire cost of paintings and frames is about one-fifth the cost of good frames; yet when new they ap- pear very attractive to the inexperienced, especially when display under gas light in auction rooms. Placarded as choice collections of American and foreign artists, danbs, which can be bought of the man- ufacturers at the rate of $50 a dozen, of- ten sell for $20 or $30 a piece. The largest manufactory of such paint- ings in the city occupies the whole of a three story building. The most of the pictures go out of the city. The owner said to the Tribune reporter: “TI get or- ders from all parts of the country now, and can fill an order for a hundred pic- tures within a few hours’ notice.” The prices of this maker range from $30 to $100 a dozen, frames included, most of these pictares being 36x22 inches, a size convenient for the economical cutting of cauvas. At arival shop the prices rang- ed from $40 to $150 a dozen. Another manufacturer of ‘‘buckeyes” of a smaller size sells for $16 a dozen. The swindling devices adopted by deal- ers in these fraudulent pictnres are those of mock autioneers everywhere ; and the manufacturers abct the swindle by signing. their daubs with the names of popular painters ingeniously misspelled, or with initals wanting. It is a common trick of hawkers of these pictures to profess to be artists in Cistress and willing to leave valuable pictures as security for a small loan; or they are about to leave the city to fulfill a profitable engagement, and would be glad to sell at a great sacri- fice to raise the inoney needed for the journey. A gentleman who took a paint- ing asa security for a léan of $30, the other day, discovered soon after that the regular price of the picture “by the doz- en” was fifty cents a piece !—Scientific American. re THE GATLING GUN ALOFT. In the old days of yard arm to yardarm nayal conflicts, it was always customary te station good marksmen in the tops, their duty being to pick off the enemy’s officers and disable the crews of the spar deck guns. Other men stationed aloft were provided with haad grenades, small explosive shells, which they threw upon the deck of the hostile vessel. The light mitraillense now used on men-of-war is a far more formidable means of offense than either single rifles or grenades, and ia fact, it renders impossible the working of exposed guns on any craft within the range of the hail of bullets which it pro- cts. sour engraving, from the London Zllus- trated News, presents an American Gat- ling gun as arranged for usc In the main top ot a British man-of-war, a significant example of the avidity with which foreigu nations adept the inventions which ori- ginate on this side of the Atlantic, espe- cially when the same arc of superior val- ue for war puPposes. ‘The gau as here de- git ae icted consists of a number of gau barrels, re hs vbich may be as many as ten, fixed around SNAKE CANNIBALISM. © * || the mainshaft, which isalso combined with A contribator to the Scientific American, iu av article which appeared in the issae of March 16, 1873 deseriptive of the hab- itsof suakes, expreased the opinion that there were no 0 i, or snake-eating snakes, in this coantry.

An experiment was lately made by the New York Elevated Railroad Company in the use of a newly invented apparatus for heating a train of cars by the surplus steam from a locomotive, and satisfactory results were obtained. The apparatus consists of a chain of pipes extending through the cars on each side, connected between the cars and the locomotive by an elastic hose, wound to prevent condensation, and with couplings similar to those used for the car brakes. The dome, or some convenient steam main on the locomotive, is tapped for a small pipe, in which isa valve, by which the engineer or fireman can control the heat in the cars. Under the car body are two expansion valves to allow vent for the air when steam is first turned on, and also to allow the cold water of condensa- tion to be freed from the pipes and to prevent freezing. The pipes inside the cars are inclosed within other and thin- ner pipes, and the space between the two is packed with fine dried sand. The heat from the hot steam pipes is imparted to the zand, which radiates it through the thin outer pipe. By this meaus the heat of 350° which is imparted to the inner pipe is given off so gradually as to keep the cars comfortable heated for two hours. So that by charging the ap- paratus before the train starts, and from time to time throwing into it the surplus steam which would otherwise have to be blown off and wasted, the necessity for stoves is obviated, as well as the danger of fire in case of accident. It isalso claim- ed that the proper ventilation of the cars is rendered easier by this process than by the use of stoves. —Scientific American. — — +o IMPROVED PROPAGATION CUTTINGS. Veter Henderson described last winter, in the Agriculturist, an improved mode he was then using for the propagation of ger- aniums. His object was, in the first place, toavoid the exhaustion of the parent plants by the removal of cuttings abruptly ; and, secondly, to make sure work. He takes | the young shoot which is te be used as a cutting, 2nd snaps it short leaving it hang- ing by a small portion of the bark. This shred is sufficient to sustain the cutting, without any material injury from wilting, until it forms a eallus, which precedes the formation of roots. In from eight to twelvejdays it is detached and potted in two and three inch pots. It is rather less shaded and watered than ordinary cut- tings, and forms foots in about eight to twelve days mere. Last fall Mr. Hender- son propagated about 10,000 plants of the tricolor class Githout losing one per cent. With the common method he thinks he would have lost fifty per cent. This mode is applicable to the abatilon begonia, car- nation cactus, lantava, oleander, ete., by using young unripened shvots. If the shoot does not break, but simply bends to a knee, a kuife may be used for cat- ting about two thirds through. BY The river and harbor bill has been print- ed.

We ventnre to say that such a acene of mental power and eloquence has not been witnessed in the State since that day. It was perfeetly electrical and irre- ristable, and silenced his assailants most effectually. His weapons were facts and arguments—the power of truth flashed like lightning into the minds of his hear- ors, qe ——- ~<a Election of Judges.—-The present clamor abont the election of Judges is becoming diagasting, and especially the heat a few writers are manifesting for their particu- Jar favorites. We shall be glad if the State Convention shall ignor'them all and take up men who have not been mention- ed, Thero is plenty of good material in the State to do it, and for one we have no desire to sce on the bench any man whohas won the place by pandering to public preju- dices or more direct electioneering. No auch man ought to be there—he is moral- Jy unfit and ought to be sect aside. ‘Let the office seek the man” iu this case above all othera ; though the rule ig. a safe one in every inatanco, One good effect of this contest for Judges ia certain : it will disgust the intelligent people of the State and hasten a change in the present system of electing them. The people of North Carolina will not tolerate this defilement of the judicial ermine by secing it draggled through the filthy purlieus of a heated popular can- yass. They will demand a Constitution- al change and restoration to the old mode of electing Judges by the Legislature, and we shall net be surprised if this is the last time Judges shall be chosen by the popular vote, It waa put upon the peo- againat their will—foreed on them by bayonets—and jf they throw it off, it will be to return to their ancient custom. _ OO Specie Payments,— What now shall be said of the Wall street propheta, includ- ing the great N. Y. Duilies, who so confi- dently predicted fivaneial ruin to the country if the Silver Bill should pass! While Congress is hammering away on a Bill to repeal the Act of last Congress providing for the resumption of specie payments in 1879, un peration of the Silver Bill resumption of specie pay- ments becomes an accomplished fact, not ouly ia New York, but in the country, aven here in North Carolina—in Raleigh, Wilmington and Charlotte, “Take four dollars and one cent in greenbacks and ge and buy foor dollars iv gold,” says the Wilmington Sicr, You can get gold ia small sums in Charlotte even-up for gteenbacks, and soon it will be the rule all over the country. And so it should he. The paper promises of the govern. ment ought of right to be worth as much as gold, aud when that condition is veri- fied, paper money is more convenjent and therefore more desirable for al) the pur- poses of trade than gold or silver, —_—_. ~~ COC , The track ja now laid to Round Knob, and Maj.

RECEIVER FOR WILMINGTON, CO- LUMBIA AND AUGUSTA RAIL- ROAD. At Chambers in Baltimore, on Friday, Judge Bond appointed Hon. R. -R. Bridg- ers, Reeeiver of the Wilmington, Colum- bia and Augusta Railroad. The application was by mortgage bond- holders repreacnting three millions nine handred thousand dollars. Hon. Wm. A. Wright, Esq., the oldest Railroad mau in the State, forty-four consecutive years a director in the Wilmington and Weldon, appeared as counsel for the Company. The receiver was required to give bond ia the sum of two hundred thousand dol- lars, This reault was not unexpected in Rail- road cireles. The conditions have been ripening for it fer some months. In Jan- uary last, the Wilmington-Columbia de- faulted the interest on its mortgage bonds. The bond-holders lutely saw proper to cal) a confercuce ja Baltimore, to conaid- er of a Receiyer, ang the conference Jast- ed nearly a week, with the resylt that, yesterday the Road passed into the hands of the Receiver appointed the day befure. This Railroad was leasee of the Wil- mington and Weldow Railroad, paying seven percent ou par value of stock. This lease money was defanlted on the fifteenth: of January last, and by the terms of the lease the Wilmivgton and Weldon reverts to its stockholders on Monday next, the 15th inst. at or near Asheville by January nest.

Sr. Pererssune, April 13.—The Agence Russe says the Russian government, by discussing in its answer to Lord Salisbury the objections raised by him on every point of the treaty, has practically es- tablished a discussion of the whole treaty, and thus shown how small a foundation the British objections had. If the con- gress meets there will be no objection to a full diseussion bat the submission of the treaty implies an act which no inde- pendent power, England least of all, would admit. The Agence adds: ‘Direct and amicable proposals continue, which, thanks to the good offices of Germany, it may be hoped will lead to a satisfactory result.” Loxvoyx, April 13.—A Reuter telegram from St. Petersburg says the summary published by the London Central Press yesterday, of the cirealar accompanying Price Gortschakolf’s reply to Lord Sualis- bury, is apochryphal. In the Commons, Gladstone, who voted in the minority, was loudly hooted by the Conservatives, and there was a scene of great excitement. There has been less excitement at the Portsmouth dock yard this week and the work in hand was assuming the ordinary routine character. The over time was generally stopped, and very little remains to be done in the way of warlike prepara- tion. On Monday it beeame known that a letter had been forwarded from the ad- miralty to Portsmouth asking how long it wonld take to get ready for sea the flotilla of iron gan-boats built for service in the Baltie during the last Russian war, and for the most part since lying on slips at Haslar. These are formidable little vessels of 251 tons displacement, with twin crews and carrying each an 18 ton gun in the bow. Preparations were ac- tually begun to fit them with magazines when further orders were received coun- termanding the first. At present, there- fore, nothing is being doue to bring them forward, At St. Petersburg opinion regarding Gortshakoff's cirenlar is much divided. Some consider it a complete political pro- gramwe, full of seund common sense and worthy of a great power ; others regard it as empty and colorless and nothing but a formal refutation of Lord Salisbury’s ac- cusations. Some think it Russia’s last woid; others believe it is the introdue- tion negotiations on a new ground. It has greatly displeased those who wish the government to nail their colors to the mast and risk all rather than make the slightest conceasion. Opinion at Berlin continues skeptical ubout the success of the negotiations. The Nord Deutsche, Zietung, yesterday, referring to Germany's mediation, said: “The joint appeal of England and Russia for the good offices. of Germany could have a mean only if the parties were will- ing to make sueh concessions as would put out of the question the possibility of either party challenging the other.” This seems to indicate that no agreement has yet been reached and that Germany is doubtful about the sanctity of desire for an understanding on one part or the oth- er. M. Brattiano, the Roumanian’ premier, returned to Vienna on Thursday, on his way to Bucharest. He had an interview with Count Andrasay and Herr Tiezza, the latter of whom was up from Pesth attending the council. The tidings, M. Brattiana brings from Berlin are not very encouraging. ‘The conviction there is that the Czar is bent on having Bessarabia back, and that he will take it, and that the best thing the Roumanians cau do is to make the best possible terms about the compensytion they are to re- ceive, According to the news from Bucha- rest the popular mind in Roumania seems searcely prepared to accept such advice, whatever may be the disposition of the ministers.

Resumption and Other Important Finan- cial Matters Under Discussion—$400,000 Agreed Upon for the Dismal Swamp Canal. Wasurcton, April 13.—It has trans- pired that the Senate Finance committee has voted on four important propositions; the first, with only two dissenting votes, that after the Ist of July legal tenders shall be receivable for customs; second, that legal tenders shall be receivable at par for 4 per cent bonds ; third, that the present putstanding legal tenders shall be indestructable ; and, fourth, repealing the law authorizing the retirement of legal tenders in the proportion of 80 per cent to the national bank notes issued. The two last proprositions have the same effect, but the repeal was necessary. Mu- tilated legal tenders will be replaced by new issues. A bill embracing this fea- ture will be voted on in the committee Tuesday, and there little doubt in shrewd circles of aflirmative action. is The Democratic senatorial caucus to- day discussed the general sitnation. They favered the repeal of the resumption aet, but took no decided action beyond invit- ing consaltation with a committee of the Office, County and State, BUCCeRR, ‘ Write your name in fall, also your Post Always write my pane, or my sons name in full. ; AT WE ARE RECEIVING DAILY A NEW AND WELL SELECTED STOCK STAPLE DRY GOODS, Groceries, SHOKBS, &c., &c., WHICH WE OFFER AT LOW FIGURES FOR GASH OR BARTER!

I h.reby announce myself a candidate for the office of Sheritf of Kowan, at the election in Aungnat next, subject to the decision of the County Convention, Lam a believer in the sound old doctrine which waa ennnciated and acted upon by Washington and the founders of the Republic, that there should be frequent rotation in office. It is offe of the great Jundamental principles of all free Republican governments, that the rulers, the office-holders, should be frequently taken from the ranks of the people. Asa general rule thix principle is acted upon, and Presidents, Governors, Congresamen, Legislators and the like, are frequently chang- ed. And why should the one office of Sheriff be made an exception to this rule? Does it require more ability or integrity to fill this office than all those? Or ia it true that there is but one man in the county, in a generation of men, who is competent to fill the position? To say this, is to inault the intelli- gence and the integrity of every good man in the county. As I do not expect to descend to personali- ties, | shall say nothing of the present incum- bent. I will hansvar do him the justice to say, that in the main he has filled the office creditably, but is that any reason why he should hold it for life? Two years ago he said to the people, “elect me this time, and I shall not want the office any longer.” How is he fulfilling this sulemn pledge now? Does he deny it? Let him do so if he can. I desire to ask him this question :—Does he intend to abide the decision of the township and county nominating conventions ? For myself, I can only say, that if elected, I shall be content to discharge the duties of the office for not Jonger than two terms, and then give way for some one else. a FRANK BROWN. — Having been solicited by quite a num- ber of the citizens of Salisbary to become a tandidate for Mayor, I will say, that if a majority desire me to fill that position, they can signify the same by voting for me on the 6th day of May next. ANDREW MURPHY. April 9, 1878. 25:4t. To the Conservative Voters of Rowan.— In making your nominations for the vari- ous county offices, will it not be well for you to look around and see who has stood squarely and firmly by the party during | the past bitter strife, and have finally crowned their efforts by a complete vic- tory over radicalism and corruption.

The manacr of the death of Wm. M. Tweed was a fitting end of a life of shame and ill-fame. “The choice and master spirit” of a great, rich and populous city played his people false, robbed them of nillions of movey, debauched public mor- als, forfeited public confidence, was in- dicted, tried, sentenced like a common felon, and has finally died iu jail likea common thief. This is a sad, sad story— this story of the life of Wm. M. Tweed. For years he held New York City as in the hollow of his hand. He was rich and powerful, and the soubriquet “Boss” waa bestowed upon himself not withoat good But he lived to see fear turned to scorn ; to see himself forsaking by friends and derided by enemies, to find himself once a fugitive from the city which he had so long geverned and finally faced death in a cell of a public jail! With the history of his life is bound up a rich moral and one which is self-apparent. | Time brings its revenges, and justice of- ten overtakes the malefactor even in this ; world.—Charlotte Observer. cause, ——$__. —_—_—— THE PLATFORM OF THE ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS.

OUR LIXE is but # short one, running from the parlor of Mr. Geo, P. Baker to the study of the writer, @ distance of aboat 50 yards, though it must be remembered that our telephone will work equally well with a line of 50 miles or more. Our wire is the common broom wire, costing not more than «@ cent for ten feet, from which any one may calcu- late the cost of the line wire. The whole apparatus consists of this wire and two tel- ephone cups, one at each terminus. THE CONSTRUCTION is very simple, and any one at all skilled as an amateur workman may make one for himecif. I will endeavor now to describe clearly our instrument, so that your readers may go and de likewise: . First, my skillful friend, Mr. W. D. Cook, turned on his lathe two cylinders (hollow), the dimensions of which are as follows: Length, 4 inches; diameter (outside), 3 inches; diameter inside, 2 inches. Each cylinder is open at both ends. The two ends are then closed by two flat circular covers screwed on. One of these has cut in its centre a hole about 1 inch in diame- ter, with a cone-shaped mouth-piece, whose inner diameter is 1 inch, and outer diameter about 1} inches. Across this hole is placed a thin piece of iron plate called the dia- _ phragm. We used a piece of thin plate the phonographers use for taking ferreotypes. So much for the external parts. The inner parts are as follows. We got two small horse-shoe magnets, such as may be bought for 10 or 15 cents at any hardware or toy stere. These we fastened together lateral- ly, screwing them firmly between twe pieces of wood about the size of the magnets.— Between the ends of the magnets we placed two little round bars of soft iron, 2} inches in length. } inch in diameter. These bars extended beyond the ends of the magnets about 1} inches. Before placing these bars between the magnets, we made two little spools of paper (one for each bar), which we fastened to the bars at the end. We then wound these little spools ful! of fine insulated copper wire, leaving the ends out. This copper wire is as fine as common thread, and is covered or insulated with silk. It can be obtained of any electrician in the larger cities. This is all that isnceded for the telephone. We have now a cup or cylinder as above described and inside the two horse-shoe magnets fastened together, having extend- ing from their poles or ends two bars of iron, each with a tittle spool ot copper wire upon it. A screw enters the opposite end of the cup, and holds the magnets at the right distance from the diaphragm. By turning this screw you may move the mag- nets and bars nearer to or farther trom the diaphragm. In the closed end of the cup are two brass screws, with a hole in their heads to receive the line wires. These are similar to those used by telegraph operators to connect their wires. The little copper wires on spools at end of bars are attached inside the cup to these screws, and thus the con- nection is made with the line wire. It is very difficult to give a clear descrip- tion of even this simple instrument without diagrams, ITS OPERATION fs remarkably perfect, and is as follows: You hold the telephone cup within about an inch of the mouth, and talk or sing di- rectly ayainst the thin iron diaphragm which covers the whole in cover of cup.— The vibration of this thin iron plate conse- quent upon the sound-waves caused by the veice induces a disturbance of the magnetic field which enyelopes the ends of the iron bars (above spoken of), This disturbance is communicated through the bars to the mag- nets, and through the fine copper wire to the main or line wire, whence it passes to the other cup at the other end (in my study, say), and there induces correspond- ng changes in the magnetic field and in the diaphragm, and the sound is distinctly heard. Bo much for the theory ; now for the ACTUAL WORK. I can sit in my study and hear voices in the distant parlor: can carry on a conver- sation as well as if the person were in the room with me, and can enjoy both instru- mental and vocal music. It is like fairy music, as every note is faithfully conveyed. A cough, a sneeze, nay even a kiss may be readily transmitted, as some of oar experi- menters can testify, We have been trying some very interesting experiments. For in- stance, to hear music from the piano, we place the tele cup or cylinder directly on the sounding-board, and every note is transmitted with accuracy and clear- news. The music is most exquisite, and ap pears to be formed within the cup which you hold in your hand. Mrs. B.'s voice “(which £ gust tell you is a voice of ex- quisite purity and sweetness) can be heard at times a of three feet from the cup. Pour of us, with our heads near the cup, have heard it xt the same time, of our most beautiful experiments —< follows: We found that, when we aced the telephone cup upon the sound- ng-board of the , if we sang or spoke against the ing-board it was heard in my study, So we opened the piano, sup- pam te cover on the little sticks on ei- ther and then a full quartette sang to the music of the piano, and it was heard plainly in my study. The cup was placed on the sounding-board, and the voices strik- i wee under part of the piano cover, or lid, were deflected down against the sound- and every vibration or note was ~ transmitted. most pleasing experiences have | with the little children. Little Julia Ba maiden of nineteen months, will listen en- ¢tranced to my voice calling her and send- ——o mesasages, and then actually scream with delight, look into the cup, and cry Make! Ha-ke! which is an attemp? at my mame. She is learning to talk into the cu and a lamin it. The sweet- est sound [ ve yet tows in the cup has these four children (who fnherit the mother's beautiful gift of song), accurac d ness. Little Julia revere agerhart Jesus,” “I need thee e hour,” and several others, though she cannot quite talk yet. TBE UTILITY of our telephone is great. It calls me to it Pjitis both wicked and vulgar writes to , a re rm 5 Le A eee Beet > er # +l nals seks have boldly ventured to beard the lion fn bis “den.” A few days since, on re- turning home I found the stady taken pos- session of by Mr, Geo, B. and four merry- faced visitors of the tle “persuasion.

Thanks to our telephone, I often now have such sun- shing in. my study; and thanks to a dear people, that study is even worthy the bright Good-bye, dear Visitor!

Eorrors:- b am surprised to ace that the State Democratic Executive Committee have fallen into the same mis- take of some of your correspondents, inv saying that the law requires an election for Constables to be held in the several Townships of the State in Angust next. Sec. 24, Art. IV, of the Constation is as follows : “In each county, a Sheriff and Coroner shall be elected by the qualitied voters! thereof, as is prescribed for members of the General Assembly, and shall hold their offices for two years. Ja each Township manner by the voters thereof, who shall hold his office for two years. In ease of a vacan- cy eristing for any cause, in anyof the offices created by this section, the Commissioners for the County may appoint to such office Sor the unexpired term.” not ratified until the 10th day of April, 1869. (Laws 1363-69 ch. 135, p. 478.) Sec. 5 of said Act, provides that ‘the first election for Township Boards of Trus- tees shall be held on the first Thursday in August, 1869.” See. 10, of the same Act, provides that ‘“‘at the time and in the manner authorized by this act for the election of ‘Township Boards of Trustees, there shall be held an election for one constable in each Town- ship.” * * * * Sec. 9, of said Act, also provides that “the persons chosen at the first election under this Act, shall continue in their office till the first Thursday in Angust, 1871, and until their successors shal! have qualified, when the regular election for said officers shall be hell every two years thereafter.” (See also sec. 2, Laws 1869-70, p. 42.) The tirst election under the present Constitution for Constable was held in August, 1869. The second in August 1871. The third, in Angast, 1873. The fourth, in August, 1875.

Very frequently the destitution arises from no-imperfection or failing in the character and actions of the friemdless in- dividual, Others may not be able to rightly comprehend and appreciate his motives. His talents and acquirements may be absolutely imperfect, attracting neither attention or regard; thengh the fault of his position and instrtetors. His nature may be sullen, morose and reti- cent. He may be of a cast of disposition so completely to the opposite of that of all his associates as to be an object of aversion to them, without having the power to alter his genuine self in the least, or sufliciently te agree with them. The business he follows may be of a sort that debars him from intercourse with those for whom he has a natural affinity of spirit. He may differ widely and con- seientiously both in religion and politics from those who might be his friends but tor the fact that he is shut out by his doe- trines from all access to them, and com- pelled to be entirely within a limited cir- cle of his own faith, who, however, see nothing in him to admire or esteem. lbut the fault may and does too often lie at our own doors. We have too many antipathies—too little sympathy for oth- ers. We magnify trifling faults. We cannot bear, but are in the habit of in- dulging a prejudice against edueation and accomplishments not of the same sort as our own. We dislike them, perhaps, be- cause we are rich and they are poor, or, vice rersa. We may even despise them for the old woman’s reason :— “1 do not like yon, Doctor Tell; The reason why I cannot tell; Only—I do not like you, Doctor Tell.” Notwithstanding these selfish and sense- less motives, we may have good and just cause for dislike, and for repelling and excluding others from our society. A wicked man we should shun as we would the plague. If we perceive that there is a natural antagonism between them and ourselves, it is no use to urge and intrnde our company upon them—oil and water will not mix—the lion and the lamb can- not lie down together in this pre-millen- nial period. Moreover, different races of men, some superior and some inferior, can never dwell on the terms of equality and familiarity true friendship demands. Then there may be some very sinall things which may not force us indeed to at all dislike the individuals; but may be quite large enough to preclude the possibility ot ever calling them by the sterling aud sacred epithet of friends. An extraordi- nary share of self-eonceit, morbid. appe- tites and feelings, eccentricity, splenetic and gloomy reserve, want of polished manners and true refinement, contentious- nesa, jealousy, sutrical and severe style ot conversation, foolish levity on religious subjects, garrulousness and gossiping, and the lack of ability to keep a still tongue on the gravest subjects of secresy —any one or all of these faults, though minor affairs compared with some other things, may ipterpose an insurmountable barrier between us and the friendship of many a fellow-creature. Slander and detraction may deprive us of social caste, patrons aud employers; and it is common to say in these cases that the person untruthfally robbed of his good name is without friends. But let us have a care how we blame our ene- mies for all this. Our own duplicity, ar- rogance, rough and repulsive manners, notionate and capricious ways of dealing and management, false pride, indolence and irregularity in business, and, worse than all, sheer ingratitude and negiect of those who did once befriend us, may be among the lamentable causes of our iso- lation from human sympathy and re- gard. Let every one study out the causes of his destitution of friends, if he be in that plight. It willdo him more goed than the study of the ciassics. E. P. H. ——-s- _ Mr. Epiror :—For two reasons I deem it important that I should extend the _in- ~ quiry, “Shall we use Guano?” a little further. First: L do not wish to appear to others as profoundly ignorant of the relative meaning of the term agricultural and commercial value as my critic does tome. And secondly: Ido not wish to be understood in that article as charging ce fraud or incompetency upon the only institution ever created pure'y in the interest of agriculture in this coun- try. More, I desire to express my high appreciation of the action of our Legisla- ture in giving us a Bureau of Agriculture in our State; they have done good else- where, and can be made valuable here. Says Another Farmer, ‘1 say this: a fertilizer whose commercial value is from $36 to $45, and the manufacturer sells it to farmers for $40, $50 and $60, may not have more than $10 worth of chemicals in it.” I don’t say and such thing, niyself; if 1 did I would at once pronounce the analyst a fool or a frand who would give a table of such values. I believe he can tell what amount of the different ingredi- ents every fertilizer contains, but here is the point at issue: can he tell when these ingredients will be available as plant food? Chemistry bas developed the fact that all of our crops are com posed of from 88 to 99 per cent of organic matter. That this organic part consists of ¢arbon, hy- crogen, oxygen, and nitrogen only. That plants derive the greater part of their zes are altogether false and erroneous.” This opinion is not only from a chemist but from one who has conducted an ex- petimental farm for more than 35 years. My only, object in my former article was to call attention to the fact that there was a difference of opinion about the value of analysis, and to guard farmers the error they might fall. into, of aren Py new brands of a zers and to give my opinion on the pro- priety of using them at ally’ I conceive the principal object of “Another Parmer’s” article was to tell that he had used 19 kinds of fertilizers, and I may add, has given; most extravagant certificates of many of them. Of one kind one year, of another the following year. Pradence is a virtue, and consistency isa jewel. Reck- less charges and extrayagant are not worth much with me or the pub- lic. The only experiment I ever made where I weighed everything was last year with Piedmont and Navassa Guanos. The latter gave me Jess returns under the same conditions. [I am willing to say this much to any one, and tell how it was conducted, but I can’t certify that any fertilizer ever gave me bundreds, and up to a thousand per cent on investment. If ove would habitually do this for me I could never forsake him. As to home manipulations I think farmers might or- ganize and employ a man who understood acid and alkaline affinitesa to lectyre to them so that by mixing properly they would lose no valnable plant food. | think the process simple, and every far- mer might add much valuable manure every year to his farm by a little knowl- edge and industry. FARMER. ———_—_~- gi p>o—___ - (Correspondence of the Raleigh Observer.) LETTER FROM GREENSBORO. Judge Strange on Wife-Beating—Some Good Advice to Correspondents, but the Best Omitted (that is to Say, Make Let- ters Short) Except by Example. GREENSBORO, April 12, 1878. Messrs. Epirors: The remarks of your lady correspondent, as embodied in your editorial of the 10th, reminds me of a de- cision by a Judge of the Superior Court, in a neighboring county many years ago. The gentleman who reported the case in my hearing, said that he never heard a Judge swear upon the bench but once. How far his profanity was justifiable is left to the decision of the reader. Judge S., who was gathered to his fath- ers, in your Cape Fear country, a gener- ation ago, was distingnished for his im- pulsive feelings, and for his chivalric ad- miration of “the sex.” A man was indict- ed in his court for brutal treatment of his wife. Among other things it was proven that he compelled her one night to ride bareback and astride, on a poor horse, a distance of two or three miles. The tes- timony of the witnesses had evidently excited his honor as well as the spectators in attendance. When the jury returned their verdict of guilty, the Judge was walking to and fro eu the bench, and commenced pronouncing sentence—* pil- ing it on” in the way of fine, imprisonment, cest, &c., to the utmost extent of the law, all delivered in language which he thought Tsuitable to the occasion. It was little short of an anathema. The culprit him- self became excited, and exclaimed, “Judge, you’d better hang me at once!” The Judge stopped and cenfronted him. His eyes blazed. His long fore-finger came down with a jerk toa point blank aim, like the muzzle of a rifle, and with it eame the explosion: ‘“‘Damn yon, sir; L wish I had it in my power to hang you An irrepressible cheer went up from tlie crowd. This shows that there is human nature in Judges as wellas other felks. Whether this fact is to have any bearing upon the present squabble about candidates for the Supreme Court bench, upon the chicken fight at Charlotte, the Eastern question the purity of game or the price of cotton, Ican’t say. But itis to be wished that your correspondents would hold up a lit- tle on the judiciary. Your policy of throwing open the columns of the Obser- ver to free discussion illustrates the true functions of the newspaper. Nevertheless I think your correspondents ought to un- derstand that their criminative remarks can hardly resalt in pablie good. In case any of the candidates so hotly discussed be nominated, these writers are farnish- ing ready-made cudgels to our political opponents to worry us with. Each ofthe gentlemen named has shown capabilities for judicial office, and most of them have already a public record sufficient to entitle them to the confidence and honors of tlie people of the State.

After exchanging views on the Chief Justiceship, witty repartees, &c., a song was called for, and somé of the most beautifnl sacred and sentimental piecés were rendered from each end of the wire. The experiment lasted until 12:30 P. M., when the long metre doxology was sung by the Raleigh Choir, and the ‘‘Good-Bye” given from Wilmington.» An adjéurn- ment was then had until 2:30 P. M. At that hour a large crowd assembled at the Telegraph Office in this City. The con- nection was made by placing two of the eall bells, and four of the Telephonés placed in cirenit, thereby enabling fonr persons to converse and sing at the same time. A large crowd was also present at Wilmington, and both audiences enjoyed the treat very much. Some very sweet ‘music was rendered from either end, and prolonged conversations carried on by participants. The Telephone is a decided success and accomplishes its work in a. satisfactory manner. The singers at Wilmington, N. C., were Messrs. Welsh and Tilley, of the Sguthern Express Company’s office, Mr. Oscar Parsley, Mr. Riddick, of the Wes- tern Union Telegraph office, and Mr. D. P. Beckham, of the C. C. Railroad Com- pany. They sang well and were vocifer - ously cheered by the Raleigh participants. Those who composed the Raleigh choir were Messrs. Lee Overman, V. Royster, Dr. Knox, Col. I. J. Young, Mr. Sherwood merits as vocalists it is useless for us te speak, as the mames are familiar to the musical people of Raleigh, but will leave it for our auditors of the city by the sea to say in what manner their music was rendered. Mr. Starke, not forgetful of the ladies of Raleigh, and believing that they de- serve more favors than the sterner sex, is now making preparations for a special arrangement for them to have a few hours’ enjoyment for them with their friends in the City by the Sea. As soon as arrange- ments are perfectly due notice will be given of time and place, and it is hoped tbat our ladies will avail themsclves of the opportunity. Mr. Starke desires us to say that the reason this first experi- ment was postponed until Sunday was becanse the wires were so busy during the week with commercial business of the Telegraph Company that it was impossi- ble to secure ope of their wires during any other day. . The following are some of the sehgs sungs at Wilmington : “Little Brown Charch in the Vale,” ‘‘Litgle Footsteps,” “Jeaus Lover of my Soul,” “Nearer my God to ‘Thee,” and othera, “Nearer my God to Thee,” ‘Jesus, Saviour of my Soul,” “Vacant Chair,” “Take this Letter to my Mother,” and others. To secure one of these interesting little wonders orders should be addressed to B. W. Starke, Agent W. U. Telegraph office Raleigh, N. C. —- a THE WESTERN N. C. RAILROAD. ~ (From the Asheville Citizen.) The teaekisfaid to Ronnd Knob, Mere is a tunnel to complete which will require about two months time, a cut toclean out which will require quite as long, andwhat is known as Mud Cut—wherein about six acres of territory has sunk in—which may, with the sleuce canal in good operation, require from 20 to 60 days. This caval is a grand achievement. During the hour we watched it, more dirt was wasted out with the aid of thirty hands than a hun- dred could have moved in a day; and it was estimated, as alow calculation, that at the rate the water was then working, it would remove more dirt in one day than 300 men could move in a month. They are now preparing to use hose and pipes which will then accomplish quite as much in a day as now is done in a week, considering that then only seme five men will be required. By June Maj. Wilson thinks he will have from 150 to 200 con- victs at work on this side the Mountain, grading this way, and soon thereafter will be treasferting passengers at Swannanoa tunnel, to a train om this side, and by fall will be running the train on through some miles this side of Swannanoa Gap. “And” added President Wilson, ‘‘F will have the cars at, or very near Asheville, by next January,” which opinion was unhesitat- ingly seconded by Col. Clayton. So mote it be! Haywood and Mr. E. A. Jones.

The last sensational villainly bas just been developed at Wilmmgton, N. C., the unconscious medium being Dr. Thom- do citizen of that place. Not a great while ago a telegram was received from Spring- field, Ill., by a friend of. Dr, Flanner’s asking if he was a responsible man. The friend, of course, replied that he was in all respects; that his reputation was above reproach, and be was known to be in good circumstances. This dispatch was followed by others to different firms, all of which elicited the same replies. Final- ly, a dispatch was received asking if Dr. Flapner was at home, and as he was known to be in Wilmington, an answer was returned accordingly, and then the mystery leaked out. Some confidence chap had been impersonating Dr. Flanner in Springfield, had borrowed money, got inte society, and married one of the belles of the city, under the Doctor’s name and by securing the endorsements of Dr. Flan- ner’s friends, Just before the imposture leaked out the fellow fled for parts naknown,leaving his young wife in great distress at the villainy that had been practiced on her. Dr. Flanner has no idea who his double is, but says he has beéft annoyed by the fellow for years, and has‘often been dun- ned by letter for borrowed money and un- ‘paid bills in other cities in which he had never been.— Ez. ae HOW VICTOR EMANUEL MISSED THE THRONE OF ENGLAND. A contemporary says: It is a curious fact, and oue that is not generally known, that King Victor Emanuel was, by the direct law of succession, the rightful King of England. He was descended in a direct line from Charles I, The young- est daughter of that unbappy monarch, the Princess Heurietta Maria, married Gaston d’Urleans, the brether of Louis XIV. She died, leaving two daughters. The eldest became Queen of Spain, and died childless. The younger married the heir to the House of Savoy and was the ancestress of the late King of Italy. Af- ter the Revolution of 1688, when the right to succession to the British throne was settled by adtof Parliament, the House of Savoy was excluded on account of the Catholic religion professed by its mem- bers. The House of Hanover, of which Queen Victoria is the representative, was several reméyes farther from the direct succession, deriviug as it did, its claims from James I., through Queen Elizabeth of Bohema, and her danghter the Elec- tress Sophia. A striking commentary on the consequence of human actions is af- forded by this story of a reyal inheritance. When Charles the I:, espotised a Catholic princess he could scarcely have imagined that by this act he was excluding his di- rect descendants from the throne of their fathers; and, still less could his Queen have foreseen that she and the descen- dent of her: favorite child se carefully trained rin the tevets of her own ents, thot ever overthrow the tem- pore power of the Pope, and be himself nstalled upon the throne. —__~ao__—- " A novelty of the Paris Exposition will be an enornious balloon capable of con- veying 70 persons. as W.

It is not difficult to believe, know- ing what we do know about trees in Cal- ifornia, that these are’ twenty centuries ole. The General says he does not doubt it, even from the random evidences of his own eyes. Under this tree Jesus’ Christ knelt and prayed and made holy forever the Garden of Gethsemane, We looked at the tree called “The Tree of Agony.” We pressed its knotted bark with rever- ence and love, and, though we are an idle, worldly group, fresh out of'a busy Worldly world, there were few words spoken, and all thoughts turned to the sacred and sor- rowfal scenes which Christian men be- lieve here took place. And if one could know the hearts of those who were about the tree, who steod around in silence, I have no doubt that he would know of many a silent prayer breathed to heaven that, in the hour of extremity the grace there implored for sinning souls might be our portion as it has been the portion of millions and millions who have gone be- fore. BETHANY AND MOUNT OLIVET. “The good monk gathered some flowers fer Mrs. Grant, and for the others twigs and leaves from the Tree of Agony. We climbed the Mount of Olives to the sum- mit. We entered the chapel said to be the site of the ascension—now a Mosolem Mosque. We went to the top of the min- arets and looked far beyond to the land of Moab, the Valley of the Jordan and an edge of the Dead Sea. In the farthest distance, just touched by the sunlight, was &@ mountain. We were told it was Pisgah, from which Moses viewed the Promised Land. We went on to the chap- el which marks the spot where our Sav- iour taught the Lord’s Prayer. We went into the magnificent chapel which a French princes bad erected for her tomb, and around the walls of which is the Lord’s Prayer in 32 different tongues. We kept on over the hill, over a fearful road to the village of Bethany. It was here that Jesus lived when he preached in Jerusa- lem. Here was Lazarus, his friend, whom he called from the tomb. Here lived Martha and Mary, whom Jesus loved— Martha who served Him at supper, and Mary who chose the better part. We ride under the overhanging ruins of the dwell- ing in which Jesus found home, shelter, friendship, love: where He came for peace after the hard day’s work in Jerusa- lem. We walk around Bethany—which is only a collection of ruins and hovels— passing over the graveyard where Laza- rus was buried. Wecontinue along the road that leads to Jerusalem again, not over the mountains, but the one sloping near its base. It was over this road that Jesus rode when he entered Jerusalem on an ass. We are told also that here it was that David passed in sorrow when pur- sued by the ungrateful Absalom. But our thoughts are not with David, and we pause at the head of the hill, where Jeru- salem comes in view. It was here that Jesus wept over Jerusalem and prophe- sied its destruction, and we can well im- agine the beauty of the fair city as it nest- led on the hillside—the temple dazzling all eyes with its glory, the battlements and walls menacing all men with their power. Then we kept on down the Val- ley of Jehosaphat and over the brook and around the city to another entrance ealled Damascu; Gate. It was enly from thence a short walk to our hotel. The walk had been a weary one, but no one felt weari- ness, for every memory it awakened was a memory of the noblest moments in our lives, and every step we had taken had been over hallowed ground.” ——- -—- An Arab of Algiers, claiming to be a French subject, was lately imprisoned withont sufficient cause in Tangier, Mo- roceo. The French consul, after procar- ing his release, demanded that the pasha in command of the distress should call at his house, with his whole saite and a troop of soldiers, and apologize for the man’s treatment. The pash a refused to submit to the humiliation. The ecnsul informed him that unless he did so two French men-of-war in the Straits of Gib- raltar would open on the town. The pasha sent for instructions to the emper- or, who ordered him to make the apology in the required form and avoid trouble. (eR OO yt Congress will doubtless restore the in- come tax on all incomes, ever $2,000. Every poor laboring man who buys five cents worth of tobacco to cheer his weary working hours, or a quart of, whiskey to revive his drooping spirits, pays a reve- nue tax. Then there appears no good reason why the owner of a million dollars of United States bonds bought, many of them, when greenbacks were worth only forty, fifty and sixty cents on the dollar, in gold, shall pay ne tax on his immense and easy income, while the .poor ar is required to pay tax on such things as, it seems to him, he must have for his phy- sical comforts, to nerve him for his task and make the hard lot of his life tolerable.

Mr. Seward had prepared an oration on slavery, It was not a prac- tical question at that time. Mr. Seward had certain views on slavery generally, whieh he wished to ventilate. He had stuffed for the occasion. He came with his cut and dried speech, fall of learning and fairly bristling with facts. He deter- mined the world should hear it, although there was nothing before Congress requir- ing any such manifestation of prejudice, ability and learning. He introduced a resolution that he might speak. Mr. Bad- ger was walking about whilst Seward was speaking. Every now and then he would step to his desk, make a note and send a messenger to the library, By the time Mr. Badger was covered with books that stood in piles. He at once took the floor’ in repiy, and said Mr. Webster, “he made the greatest speech I ever heard delivered in the Senate.—Star. —--—___ STONEWALL JACKSON’S MAGNANIMITY. als Stonewall Jackson, at-one time hada disagreement with a friend in regard to a Sabbath-school. The dispute became so warm that he spoke hastily and harsh- ly, which was, retaliated by the other. Both felt that they had done wrong. The latter concluded to write a note of apolo- gy, but before he had time to send it Gen. Jackson came in and apologized for the manner in which he*had speken, saying that he could not rest over the Sabbath without doing so. If this spirit was car- ried out to @ greater exteut particularly in our churches, we might expect happiness, prosperity and the blessing of God. Let us for a moment examine this act.

We know that when the positive infor- mation was eommanicated to Judge Schenck that Jadge Smith’s views about Federal jurisdiction were the same as js (Schenek’s), he wae sarprised, and de- clared that‘he had been ‘laboring ander a different impression, Judge Schenck is not at home, and is too far off (holding Courts in the extreme Western part of the State) for his friends to communicate with him and act with his explicit authority at an early day, but under the circumstances, and considering tho erroneous impressions heretofore en- tertained by him and many of his friends in regard to Judge Smith's viows, we feel justified In saying that his friends will no longer press his name for the oftice of Chief Justice, but will support him for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. We know he is thankful for and warm- ly appreciates the support and nomina- tigng tendered him by several counties pnd newspapers for Chief.

(Wilmington Star.) There has been a good deal of q aje caucusing among the Democrats aa to what sf-all be done with the bill to re-op- en the Presidential dispute and the Mqut- gomery lair resolutions. It seems to be the opinjon of a great many members that the judiciary committee, to whom the bill has been referred, will take action on the subject and make a report. ‘This will pe- cite that the seating of President Hayes was a fraud; that he was not elected ; that Tilden was elected, but that in the interest of peace and harmony they re- save his life. several of Judge Qchenck’s most intinmte| passed commend that no action he taken. Of course such a pepert wenld be used for campaign purposes, and, if made, that ties on imports. nul the substitute so a8 to strike out “October Ist, 1878,” aa the time when the volume of said notes in existence shall not be cancelled nor hoarded, and insert in lieu thereof ‘the passage of this act.” A further amendment repeals immediately all that part of the specie resumption act authorizing the retirement of 80 percent of United States notes, instead of on Oo- tober Ist, 1878. Gordon, of Georgia, moved to make the bill the special ordey for Weduesday, May ist, Ferry, of Michigan, who reported the Vill, said he hoped an earlier date would be fixed for its consideration. The Fin- ance committee would meet te-morrow and would probably take the bill up in the Senate. . After'some farther discussion Gordon withdrew his motion. Blaine, of Maine, submitted the follow- ing resolutions : Resolved, That ay radieal change in our present tariff laws, would, in the judgment of the Senate, be inopportune, would necdlessly derange the business interesta of the country, and would ser- iously retard that which all should earn- eastly co-operate.

Our city ia built of wood, and if the vigilantes move one solitary step to break up the Workingmen’s party of Cal- ifornia, I predict a similar fate for San Francisco.” >. ; This must be delighful reading for ‘‘the narrow-faced Yanks” whose capital is in- vested in goods and baildings in the City of the Golden Gate. One of them writes to the San Praneisco Bulletin saying that ho and many of his friends have engaged passage in the next steamer for Central America, for “this howling gang of: Mile- siauv devils have turned the eity topsy- tarve” and mado it unsafe for peaceful Americans. He adds: “To my certain knowledge these labor agitators are well arméd; in fact, you ean see plenty of them in the streets daily carrying muskets and gans, having pro- bably bought them with money begged in the name of charity. On the other hand the Chinamen are well armed and will fight like devils if forced to. The militia may be able to take a hand in it, so that altogether there will be a terrible time when the werd is given. This is a city of wooden buildings, wooden streets and wooden sidewalks, so that if a series of fires were started in different sections of the city when the wivd was high, it would be a second Chicago fire. Things look pretty blue for Sun Francisco, aud the sober-minded people are very anxious, avid when the fire alarm bell peals out at night, more than balf the population rouse up at once, trembling lest the fatal heur has come.” It is a fact that San Francisco to-day is really in the handa of these agitators, and even the State Legislature bows before their mandates. They have spics every- where. What the end will be is fearful to contemplate. This correspondent de- clares that they only wait fur the word to commence a scence of carnage up parallel- ed by anything ever known on this con- tinent. In the face of this alarming state of affairs it is pitable to sce the timidity of the local press which, if it had done its duty at the outset; might have sent the whole gang to State’s prison.

If a child of 3 years old is called upon to suffer such a fate, what may we who are older ex- pect!

Now, we must look about us and take from those selected, the best. This matter, yea, this responsibility, reste upon the Township delegates. They must now decide tcho is best. How will they doit?

While we do not wish to speak disparagingly of any gentleman who has been recommended, we desire to say a word for a man who has always been faithful to his party, and in other resposibilities which have rested on him. He has been a public spirited, energetic and responsible man since the war. His record during that time of strife and bit- terness is too well known for rehearsal here. Suffice it to say that his gallantry and daring bravery won for him the highest praise from all, both officers and comrades of his brigade. He is fully capable of do- ing good service for Rowan if sent to the Legislature, and we hope the people will consider his claims. Some may say he is tow young; it is certainly true that he is not old in years, but in experience and good sense, he is old and amply qualified. Besides these, he has a more exten- sive acquaintance with the public men of the’ State, than any other man men- tioned in this connection. He is a good speaker, by this we mean that he can make a speech—is at home on the boards, and this is the kind of a man to send to Raleigh.

My name has been brought forward among others, as a candidate to represent you in the next session of the Legislature. I feel highly complimented even at the suggestion of my humble self. If voters see proper to give the nomivation I will ac- cept, and if elected will serve them to the best of my ability. I shall use vo strene- ous efforts to secure the nomination, by scheming or wire-working, so common among the politicians of day. This scheming and wire-working for positions of honor and trust within the gift of the people is, and always Kas been very re- pugnant to me. Having been a farmer, I think I know what will be to the inter- est of the farmers. For his unflinching courage as a soldier, for his “iron firm- ness” as Governor during the war, for his unwavering faithfulness to hia party since the war, I shall favor Gov. Vauce for the U.S. Senate. If, therefore, the people of Rowan think that the energy which an all-wise Providence has giveu me ean be of service to them I[ shall chevrfully re- spond to their call. Your obedient servant, FRANK BROWN. SALISBURY TOWNSHIP MFETING. According to announcement Salisbury Township held its meeting on Saturday the 20th. Hon. F. E. Shober was called to the chair.

The time jis rapidly coming when faithfulness in preaching and loyalty to Christ will cost-somethimg more than it now does. 5. Another reason forthe decay of mor- al power among professing Christians is in the fact that they lack the courage of loyal- ty to Christ under cireumstances of tempta- tion; 4. ¢, under some emergency, or in some business transaction, or in some sorts of company, they are afraid to show their flag, even when they would gladly do so They lack the courage to appear singular, or to show that they belong to the “peculiar people” of God. This want of courage is manifested im the style and expense of liv- ing. They live beyond their income—in op- position to their own wishes, perhaps, be- cause Rome seems to demand that they shuld live like Rome while they are in it.

Has North Carolina no appreciation of genius—no gratitude for services render- ed? Where are the men of the Revolu- tion? Have we no memory of what Davie and Davidson, Caswell and Lillington, Harnett aud others wrought? What other State with such a naval hero as Johu- ston Blakeley would not have had por- trait or bust or statute of him in its capi- tal? Then, too, we have men of great civic fame. We have lawyers and divines and jurists who were great men in their day, and who reflected undying fame up- on ourannals..

Rather let us take them and scatter them about us. a edie Out of 2,500 eases of measles in Mont- gomery, Ala., there was not a death. mass of gossip that they listened to every day, these two gentlemen picked up a good many crumbs of useful information, be- sides getting now and then a direct con- tidential tip; and they turned some of them to such good account by a few quict little speculations, that they shortly had a comfortable sum of money lying at their bankers’. Instead of throwing it away headlong in wild extravagant ventures, which was the joyous custom of the aver- age Californian in those days, they let it lie where it was, waiting, with commen- dable prudence, till they knew of some- thing good to put it into. They soon heard of something good enough. On Fair’s advice they bought shares in amine called the Hale and Norcross, and were speedily taking ont of it fifteen thousand pounds sterling a month in dividends. This mine was the property of acompany, and though it had at one time paid large and cuntinuous dividends, it was new supposed to be worked out and worthless. Mr. Fair, however, held a different opin- ion ; and when he came to exaniine it care- fully, he found just what he expected to find—a large deposit of silver-ore. There- upon he and Flood and O’Brien together bought up all the shares they could lay their hands upon, and obtained complete control of the mine. It was immediately put under Fair’s management, and it pros- pered, and the three partners waxed very rich, Mr. Fair, being an oxperienced and clever practical miner, spent most of his time down in the mine, laying out and directing the work for his men. It was neeessary that he should know all there was to be known, and see all there was to be seen, about the property; and he made such constant and thorough explora- tions of it, that he very soon got it by heart. Ina little time there was not an iuch with which he was not thoroughly acquainted, not a trace of mineral in shaft or tunnel of which he was not personally aware. By and by, being a reflective kind of man, who noticed everything and forgot nothing, he took to thinking over things, and putting odds and ends of ob- servations together, and comparing notes, and rummaging in old out-of-the-way corners of the mine, and making all sorts of examinations in all sorts of abandoned places, and generally carrying in on a cur- ious way, until he finally persued him- self that somewhere, close by the Hale and Norcross, there ran a gigantic vein of silver-bearing ore, whose value he could only calculate in figures that frightened him to look at. Week after week he haunted for this vein without snecess, and under difficulties that would have disheartened an ordinary man; but he stuck to the search and ultimately found a clue. He followed it up for tem days, and then struck the Bonanza, a huge sheet of glit- tering stephanite, one hundred feet wide, of unknown length and depth, and of estimated value of six hundred milliots of dollars—the mightest furtane that ever dazzled the eyes of man. Ina week he and his partners were the absolute own- ers of three-fourths of it, the pros ve poasessors of four hundied a moment whe, if he were so minded, could |: any mil. ag om Ou eebels § + Sah Virginia aud California mises, dipping down as it went, and could wot be traced any further.

Those who took the advice are now drawing their proportionate share of dividends, amounting to about two million five han- dred thousand dollars a mouth. The niajority of those who bought into other mines, in Californian parlance, ‘‘basted.” What these three men and their latest partner, Mackay, are going to do-with their money is a curious problem, the solution of which will be watched with great interest in a year or two to come. The money they are holding now is yield- ing them returns so enormous: that their maddest extravagances could make no impression on the amount. they are earning more, saving more, and investing more. They have organized a vank with a capital of ten millions of dollars ; they control nearly all the min- ing interests of Nevada and California; they have a strong grip on the commer- cial, financial, and farming interests all word they can at any moment raise a dis- astrous panic, and plunge thousands of meu into hopeless ruin. It will be an in- J teresting thing to wait and watch how this terrible power for good or evil is to be wielded.— Home Journgl. —_-- From the Lutheran Observer. SIGHTS IN ROME. BY PROF. V. L. CONRAD. MARIOLATRY. Persons who have not visited Roman Catholic countries can scarcely form an adequate idea of what Mariolatry really is, or of the extent to which it prevails as a practice among the people. In all the cathedrals and churches of such countries there are statutes or paintings of the Vir- gin and Child, which are the objects of special homage from those who worship there, and persons can frequently be seen “crossing themselves” or dropping upon one kneo for a moment, ds they pass the image; while others remain kneeling for some time, gazing upon the statute with expressions of the deepest devotion. Along the public highways, also, and sometimes in or vear villages, plain or rude shrines containing a coarse painting or statute of the Virgin may be secn. These are often located ou the spot where some special accident, deliverance, cure or recovery is said to have occurred “through the interposition of the Holy Virgin Mother,” and the faith and devo- tion of the simple villagers and peasantry are thus promoted. But to see Mariolatry in its highest de- velopment, one mast go to Rome. There it has not only blossomed and matured, but has actually gone to seed, as it were, under the special efforts and fostering patronage of the late popc. THE DECREE OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION. In order to relieve Romanists from the just charge of idolatry for paying divine homage to the Virgin Mary, Pius IX, called a general council in 1854, and had it adopt the decree of the Immaculate Cunception. This was a sort of practical apotheosis of Mary, and elevated her toa divine or semi divjue rank, and thereby rendered her worthy to receive the hom- age and worship of all faithful Romanists throughout the world. This decree was promulgated under circumstances of great pomp and pageantry, and like the chief official acts of other popes, it is commem- orated on the walls of one of the galleries of the Vatican by immense and brilliant paintings in fresco of the council, the scene at the promulgation of the decree, and various allegorical representations of the event. This decree furnished another special dogma to the Roman Church with which to inspire the devotion of the faithful, and the late pope employed it with signal suc- cess. With his express approval, his sn- bordinates in all countries encouraged Mariolatry in various ways, and it be- came oue of the chief features of his pon- tificate. Miraculous appearances of the Virgin were manafactored to order in different countries and at secluded out-of- the-way places, where none but priests, girls and sickly women could testify about them; and these were trampeted abroad, certified as true, and pilgrimages of the faithful by thousands every year were made to the places where these marvel- ous apparitions of the Virgin were said to 2 ‘tions a eI ane od Every year | along the Pacific slope; aud by a single | caine Talib he ee de ae es to 8 ens a Lt ett way some madonnas become popular, and the churches in which they are, attract more worshipers than others. A FASHIONABLE MADONNA. The most popular and fashionable ma- donna in Rome at the present time, is that of Giacomo Tatti, in the church of St. Augustine. It isa group of the Vir- gin and Child, and has long since super- seded in popular favor the famous madon- na of Lorenuzetto, at the tomb of Raphael in the Pantheon. This statute is believ- ed to possess superhuman power, and to have caused miraculons cures in answer to prayers. ‘The walls of the church are hung with pictures representing such wonderful recoveries from sickness, and protection and deliverances from danger and accidents. ‘The image is arrayed in a gorgeous robe, which is literally cover- ed with necklaces, bracelets, rings, chains, watches, and all kinds of costly jewelry, all of which are votive offerings frem per- sons who bave souglit or received benefits attributed to this madonna. So humer- ous are these offerings, that the bracelets clasped around the arms, for instance, cover them entirely from the shoulders to the hands, and some aie even clasped doubly over others, while other gifts are pinned and otherwise fastened on the dresa, which glitters with gold and gems of all colors from head to feet, The statue stands iv a niche sufficiently high to ena- ble devotees conveniently to kiss its foot, which is covered with metal to preveut its being worn off by the frequent contact with the lips of the multitudes who thus pay their homage from day to day dnd year to year. Near the foot is a money- box to receive the gifts of the worshipers, and before it hang silver lamps which are kept constantly lighted. 7 KISSING A MADONNA’S TOE. Ou the floor before the image of this madonna, devotees may nearly always be seen knecling, and during the fifteen or twenty minutes in which we cxamined the statute, and observed the worshipers, ove day last summer, we counted over thirty who bowed, crossed themselves, fell on their knees before the image, and, after praying a few moments, rose and kissed its toe! Most of these persons were richly dressed ladies in silk and jewels, who daintily wiped the tue of the madonna with their embroidered hand- kerchiefs before kissing it, and then “crossed themselves,” bowed again, and departed. But some were poorly-elad and sickly-looking woman, who brought their dirty, ragged, sore-eyed children— sometimes a baby in arms—and these kissed the sacred too without wiping, and lifted their children to do the same. Then they dipped their fingers into a small box of holy oil beside the statue, and annoint- ed the eyes of their little ones, crossed their foreheads, bowed again in homage and withdrew, doubtless believing that the holy oil, and the intereession of the madonua, would soon cure them and the eyes of their children. On the portico of the chureh, photo- graphs, rosaries, pictures, and all manner of cheap but holy charms and mementocs are kept for sale, and for a penny we par- chased a tawdry little colored picture of this fashionable madonna agd_ Child, framed with pasted paper and glass, with a loop attached, to be worn aa an amulet against disease. Many of these are pur- chased by the poor to be hang np in their dwellings, or Worn on their persons, to secure the favor of the madouna, and to protect them from harm. Such is Mariolatry in Rome, as it blossomed under Pio Nono, and as we saw it exhibited there in the year of grace, 1877. Recent reports from Rome, however, seem to indicate that the new pope Leo XI. does vot intend to evcourage Mari- olatry after the manner of his predeces- sor. If so, it is well that even Komanism should be relieved from the shame of such disgraceful and pitable exhibitions of im- posture, practised upon the credality of the people iu the name of Christimnty. eg There are so many rules, regulations, restrictions and orders issued and enfore- ed by the Commissioner of Revenue at Waskingbent that we are almost surprised that any honest man will € in the manutactare of tobacco, cigars, The manufacturer ia Ijable, even when he is trying to deal honestly with the govern- ment, to have his property seized and put to heavy expense to get released from the clutches of Revenue officers.

(Popular Sclence Monthly.) A writer in an English magazine stud- ies from birth to death the march of an English generation through life, basing his remarks on the annual report of the registrar-general. The author singles out, in imagination, a generation of one nillion souls, and finds that of these more than one-fourth die before they reach five years of age. During the neat five years the deaths number less than one-seventh of those in the first qninquennium. From f ten to fifteen, the average mortality is lower than at any other period. From fifteen to twenty the number of deaths increases again, especially among women. At this period, the influence of dangerous occupations begins to be seen in the death rate. Fully eight times as many men as women die violent deaths. The number of such deaths continues to rise from twenty to twenty-five, and keeps high for at least twenty years. Consumption is prevalent and fatal from twenty to forty- tive, and is responsible for nearly half the deaths. From thirty-five to forty-five the effects of wear and tear begin to ap- pear, and many persons succumb to dis- cases of the important internal organs. By fifty-five the imagined million has dwindled down to less than one-half, or 421,115. After this, the death-rate in- creases more rapidly. At seventy-five, there remain 161,124, and at eighty-five, 38,565. Only 202 reach the age of one hundred. At fifty-three, the number of men and women surviving is about equal, but from fifty-five onward the women ex- ceed the men. —-_ — -- 2-0 AN OUTSIDE VIEW OF NORTH CAR- OLINA POLITICS. [Washington Special to Baltimore Sun.) Wasnixcron, April 23.—North Caro- lina politics are attracting some attention here at this time. The Democratic con- vention to nominate candidates for judi- cial offices, &c., will meet in June. Fora month or two there has been a discredit- able squabble in progress between several of the aspirants for judicial position, which has threatened the harmony of the Democratic party of the State. This has had the effect to stir up hopes in the Re- publica: 3 of regaining some at least of their lost ground, and some of the more prominent of them have come on to Wash- ington to consult with the Republican leaders as to what meaus shall be used to take advantage of the situation. Ove re- sult of this consultation is said to be the understanding that both orators and mon- ey can be supplied from here if the out- look should continue sufficiently promis-’ ing to justify it. The Democratic Congressmen from North Carolina, while admitting that the quarrel over the judicial offices has not been beneficial to the morale of their par- ty, are of the opinion that it will not have any scrious effect upon Democratic pros- pects at the approaching election. An- other clement which will make the can- vass of unusual interest is the senatorial succession. The contest will be between Judge Merrimon, the present Senator, and Gov. Vance. The great point attempted to be made against Judge Merrimon is that he was elected tw’the seat which he now holds in the Senate by the vote of the Republican menibers of the Legislature, aided by a few Democrats who would not vote fur Gov.

Dr. Ritchie, of Edinburg, al- thongh a very clever man, has met his match. When examining a student as to the classes he had attended, he said: “And you attended the class for math- matics ?” “Yes.” “How many sides has a circle %” “Two,” said the student. “What are they ?” What a langh in the class the student's answer produced when he said: ‘An in- side and outside.” But this was nothing compared with what followed. The doctor having said to this student : “And you attended the philosophy class, also ?” “Yes.” “Well, you would hear lectures on sub- jects. Did you ever hear one on cause and effect ?” “Yes.” “Does an effect ever go before a cause ?” “Yes.” “Give me an instance.” - “A man wheeling a barrow.” The doctor then sat down, and propos- ed no more questions. 7 ATHEIsM IN Poxitics.—Belief in some sort or degree of religion on the one hand, and in nothing like religion on the other hand, are so widely di- vergent standpoints in regard to all questions of right and wrong, that it becomes a problem of ever increased difficulty and magnitude how a state can be governed harmoniously by Christians and atheists in common, In the State of Mississippi the con- stitution for thirty years before the year 1868 provided that no person who denied the existence of God, ora future state of reward ur punishment, should hold any office in the civil de- partment of the State. Then, how- ever, that part of the constitution was changed, and this law was set aside. A few years, however, have passed away, and the workings of things have been such th&t it is now propos- ed to restore the law. This is well. With the State and the individual alike, the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God, and it is only in acknowl- edging him that any can expect to be led in right paths, ee ee Canada is a convenient place of refuge for rasvals.

EE) A Word to Infidels, A writer in the Methodist has the follow: ing pertinent remarks to skeptics : Avoid boastful scoffiiag, Suck conduct awakens the pity or the contempt of those whom you wayld bring over to your own way of thinking. Upon your own showing there is something about fhe Christian reli- . gion which calls for your respect. Itisem-. braced by multitudes of these whom you admit to have a.fair share of virtue and of intelligence. It has inspired men todo and to suffer great things; it has advanced civil liberty; it isan important factor in mod- ern civilization, and is a living power in the world. No man can write history and omit to notice the progress of the Christian reli; gion, for its truths are in the social system as are the iron atoms in the blood. And do you really think, O infidel, that you are the youthful David that is going to slay this mighty Goliath? Put away your mock: ing and scoffing spirit, for that is not the temper with which you are to fight the giant. You had better lay him low before . you indulge in ridiculous boasting. “With-- in a hundred years,” said an infidel in- my” hearing, “Christianity will cease to be.” Tg which the only reply it was necessary to make was this, “All men are not frue ets.” Such a prophecy as thas has been uttered, and in the flight of time has been refuted again and again. “I am living ip the twilight of Christianity,” said Voltaire, who was the most brilliant Frenchman of the eighteenth century, Well, Voltgire, seventy years have shown that it was the twilight, not of the evening, as you thought, but of the morning, which is g.owing brighter and brighter-unto the perfect day, Many an infidel injures his own cause and excites disgust by his boast, “I cap pall down with one hand the temple which it took the hands of the twelve Apostles ¢ lifetime to build.” With this thought he obtrudes himself upon the public gege, and begins not to argue, but to grin, and utter witticisms, and to lash himselfinto a strange kind of indignation. That is not the to draw followers. An infidel should bein; tensely scrious—if it is a possible thing for him to be so. pore: It is a safe assertion to make that the man who takes his pickaxe and goes to the base of the Alleghanjes, and resolves to uu- dermine those mountain ranges and level them with the plain, has a long and patlier serious task before him. Loakers-oen may think that he will fail. But if he honestly thinks he will accomplish his task, let him by his conduct show that he has a long and a serious work to do, Let him not be forever smiling and joking, as though he was out on a holiday's sport. The trouble with . many an infidel is that he does not realize what a serious work he is about. Te is g trifler, and sometimes a babbler, . Earth, heaven and hell are gazing upon him, and if he levels the mountam of Christian truth, as he is now trying to do, he will change the destiny of the human race forever. Let him realize what his work means. Of aj} men on the face of the earth he ought, on his own reasoning, to be the most gprjoug and the most consecrated. ~_- The papers are laying down platforms for the candidates for the next Legisla- ture.

We think the people geuerally concur in the opinion that the repeal of this law is wise. It had become very odious. We differ with the Observer when it speaks of it as a merciful weasare, apd as being productive of “great good.” It was mer- ciful to the debtor, perhaps, bat it was cruel to the creditor. We suppose the creditors will out-number those who availed themselves of the provisions of the law at the rate of at least twenty-five to one. If a measure may be called “‘mer- eifal” which favors one and damages ticen- ty-fire, then it was merciful. It teok the property of the debtor away beyoud the reach of the creditor and divided it out) y, among lawyers and officers. It harden the hearts of debtors against creditors and creditors against debtors, destroying con- tidence and kindly sympathy, to a degree that scems to exclude the idea of “good,” und to suggest evil as one of its most prominent feytures, The practical work- ing of the law was, of very doubtful + ”’ even to the debtor; and if so to him, it will be rather difficult to find where it came in at all. The repeal of the law is the best thing about it. It was a panderas box from which eminated coyptless moral evils which will remain foy years to vex the people.

Epitors :—Iowever objection- able Conveutions may be, the method of bringing out candidates by them is cet- tainly more preferable than the restora- tion of Radical misrule, extravagance aud oppression, which would certainly result should the Democratic and Conservative party become weakened by iuharmonious action and internal strife. Our party or- cone net must be preserved and party wyalty enforced if we would achieve that snecess in the advancement of the ends of geod government, so necessary to the public weal and so much desired by all freemen. Ihave neither time nor space new to make an argument in favor of Conventions. Suffice it to say, howeyer, that situated as we are, the method df nominating candidates by Convention is absolutely necessary in order to secure the election of good Conservative men and the triumph of sound Conservative prin- ciples. We cannot afford to allow two or three Democrats to run for the same office, for it amoants to « surrender of the field to the Radical party: therefore it is pro- per to have a Conventivn to designate a candidate to contest the ground with the ehampions of our political foes, and it is the duty of every trac .Conservatiye to support him. ‘The fact is whenever you | hear a man complaining about the impro- rons of Conventions, you may mark it, is rather a lukewarm Conservative. He is willing to endure the crimes of Rad- icaliam to gratify his own whims: he is willing to sacrifice his own party and the great interests for which it is contending werely fur the sake of promoting his own reference and achieving a selfish end.

It is one of the great fundamental principles of all free Republican governments, that the rulers, the office-holders, should be frequently taken from the ranks of the people. Asa general rule this principle is acted upon, and Presidents, Governors, Congressmen, Legislators and the like, are frequently chang- ed. And why should the one office of Sheriff be made an exception to this rule? Does it require more ability or integrity to fill this office than all those? Or is it true that there is but one man in the county, in a generation of men, who is competent tu fill the position? To say this, is to insalt the intelli gence and the integrity of every good man in the county. As I do not expect to deacend to persorali- ties, L shall say nothing ofthe present incum- bent. I will however,do him the justice to aay, that in the main he has filled the office creditably, but ia that any reason why he should hold it for life? Two years ago he said to the people, “elect me this time, and I shall not want the office any longer.” Low is he fulfilling this solemn pledge now? Does he deny it?) Let him do xo if he can. I desire to ask him this question :—Doer he intend to abide the decision of the township and county nominating conventions ? For myself, I can only say, that if elected, I shall be content to discharge the duties of the office fur not longer than two terms, and then give way for some one elxe. Very reapectfullv, THEO, F.

Wholesale Secession for the Church of England. New York, April 21.—A special dis- patch from Paris to the Herald has the following from a person who professes tu have an intimate acquaintance with the Vatican: “I hear that a movement is on foot which promises to be the most im- portant event in the religious history of this century. This is nothing less than secession in large bedies of the English Proste:tant Chureh to the Rotman Catho- lic Chureh. The number of secedars is placed at high a figure as 3,090,000 of peo ple. Included iu this exodus from the Church of England are bishops, rectors, curates, and deacons. Authorized dele- gates, it is ascertained, are vow in Rome negotiating conditions upov which seces- sion will take place.” (‘This news has been coutradicted.] ee ape AN EDITOR DEFINED.

He writes out editorials, grinds out poetry, inserts deaths and weddings, sorts out manuscripts, keeps a waste basket, blows up the printer, steals matter, fights other people’s battles, sells his paper for a dol- lar and fifty cents a year, takes white beans and apple sass for pay when can get it, raises a large family, works nive- teen hours out of twenty-four, knows no Sunday, gets abused by everybody, once in a while is whipped by somebody, lives poor, dies middle-aged and often broken- hearted, leaves no money, is rewarded for a life of toil with a short but free obituary notice in the newspapers. ee pe At the risk of being considered some- what presumptions, we suggest to certain ambitious gentlemen aud their friends that they be exceedingly careful of the means they use to advance their designs.

PEA FALLOW. 4 In complying with your request, ‘to give my views and experience on the yse of the pea as a renovating crop,” at least two difficulties present themselves. First, the difficulty of saying anything that will be fregh on a subject so frequently writ- ten on; and secondly, of bringing a fair discussion of the subject within the limits which onght to be given to one subject, however important. The Southern pea (so-called, though in reality a bean) has been used exteusive by in the South for many years asa renovat- ing as well as 9 forage crop, and to alim- ited extent in Virginia, especially the ‘Tidewater section. My own experience and observation ex- tends through 9 period of only six years, and inns; of necessity, been limited as to space, When I first commenced with pea fallow, I thought that to secure the great- est benefit from the crop the entire pro- duct—grain, vine and all—shuold be plowed in before frost, and that to remove or feed down any part of it was to injure it to that extent as an improver. Having this view, the crop seemed to meanexpensive one. It would be almost impossjble to get in acrop of peas in good condition at an expense of less than $5 per acre, inelnding seed; and if by any necident we should fail to realize a erop of wheat after it, the loss would, of course, be considerable. Several years’ experience hgs demon- atrated to me that this opinion is incor- rect, at least so far as my land is con- I plowed in, and if theerop is aril fertilizer should be drilled in with it. Th advantages of drilling over : ; are, first, sping nals #,% cond, op poorer lands @ sa of fert xer; third, on all hinds an tmerease in the yield of grain, and greater facility of pick: | ing such as are needed for seeding. The advantages of broadcasting are, the great- er expedition in getting in the crop, in- crease in bulk of crop abov » ground, great increased and more even distribation of the root, which js a most valuable part of the crop. I have already noted inciden- tally that the pea has a long tap rect that extends into the sabsoil frequently tv dryi seasons, and on porous soils reaching a depth of two feet. ‘These roots bring up from the sabsoil the mineral matter of the crop, whieh in ita deeay is left in a soluble condition where the roots of the cereals can appro- priate it. The leaves of the pea, like those of clover, and even to a greater de- gree, draw nourishment from the atmos- phere, so that the plant in reality takes very little from the surface soil of the field, and when it decays, the product, in both organic and miueral elements of fertility, is left exactly in the position to be of benefit to the succeeding grain crop. If pena are drilled, it will be well to ra the caltivator through them, to loose thé soil; as soon as they are well above the ground. So far, my practice and opinions coincide with those of other par- ties. We have been adyised by some to plow the erep under greev when it has attained its greatest bulk. This Mr. Ed- munud Raffin, in a very exhaustive essay on the pea published many years ago, condemned, recommending that the crop be allowed to mature, and then to be turn- ed under, grain and all, This would be better than the first method, but it seems to me very wasteful. Every acro of a good crop of peas has upon it from 10 to 15 bushels of pegs, As good feed for hogs as corn (certainly‘every acre will make 100 pounds of pork), why should we lose this? The only question to be answered would, of course, be, Whether or not the improvement to the land would be as great if the crop is fed down as if turned under entirely? Now, if we supposed that from every acre 100 pounds of pork can be made, worth say $7, we will see at once that we will have scenred a fair return for four months’ investment, eveu should it prove that the elements that en- ter into the composition of fat pork were really valuable as fertilizers. But, in fact, this is not the case. Fat pork is al- most pure carbon and water, I believe, carbo hydrates being the most abundant supply pf all the elements of fertility, are of least comparative value. Without makinga careful by exact estimate, it may be very safely said that twenty-five cents would purchase all the real valuable fer- tilizing material in one huvdred pounds of pork. The debris of the crop, inelud- roots, stems, leaves, &c., together with all the manure from the animals, remain npon the land, having lost nothing bat the pork and the wader that has evapora- ted in the process of drying. If I am mistaken in this I hope some one will set me right, as | am anxious that the truth should be brought to light. This is my theory, and three years’ sneceasful prac- tice with severa) other small experiments previously made have confirmed me in the opinion that it is correct. My land is sandy loam with elay subsoil. It may be ua 2 There is a time when a man hood, look on life as a hollow mo the President.

If the land is poor, I prefer using on the pea crop the fertilizer that would be used upon the surrounding grain crop, as I am sat- iafied that the final retary ju grajn will he more than 20 per cent. in favor of this method against the application of ‘the fertilizer to the grain crop. , High grade fertilizer, such as Anchor Brand ‘Tobacco and the Tracker fertilizers have proven most satisfactory with me, and I would prefer to use them in homeo- pathic doses to heavy applications pf less poluble and concentrated fertilizers. The pea crop needs assistance until the plant xets six or eight leaves, then it will take yare of itself, aa the leaves will take from the at mosphere everything which the leng tap reots (which will have already pene- trated 10 the depth of six or eight inches) dloes not find in the subsoj). If peas are sown broadcast, the fertili- Fe PAR e oe ae - not afford to lay out of their movey so wheat crop. The result has been that less land has been seeded to wheat, and their main supply. the farmer that for five dollars outlay he ean make for his own use ( pounds of the very best pork, and also put his land in good condition to raise a paying crop of wheat, and we shall have asupply of both articles at home, and stop the drain upon our resources in mak ing ap the deficiency by purchases from the Northwest. One great drawback with me has been the difficulty of saving seed. The pea and summer harvest conflict, and and I have found it almost impossible to get cheap labor to pick peas. Here is a chance for some one to jnvent a machine. Every farmer ought, if possible, to save his own seed. I find, in glancing over what has been written, that nothing has bees said about the different varieties of peas. There are at least two varieties of black peas, one ofwhich ripens much earlier than the other, The Jatest ripening is too long maturing to suit our climate. The batt or clay peas"are very little mised in this section. They, with the later ripeuing black pea, make more yjne than any others, and are admirably adopted to more Southern States. The IWhippeoriil, or cherry pea, a brown pea, with still darker brown specks, has proyen an ex- cellent pea with me, ‘Itripensearlier than either of the black peas, and js more proli- fic. It does not make so heavy a growth of vine; it stands more erect, and retains its foliage longer than the Ulack, which drops its leaves as soon as the peas be- gin to matare. It is particularly valaable for forage, as the stems and leaves remain green when the peas are nearly all ripe.

CAlLL. #rom the Davidsdit Mofthiy, rH GOSPEL PIONEER WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. BY PROFESSOR E. F. ROCKWELL, The wise man asks, “What can the man do that cometh after the King? Fyen that which hath been slready done. The same may be asked in regard to the labors and researches of Doctors William Henry Foote and E. W. Caruthers, in gathering and recording facts and tra- ditions connected with the early history of North Carolina, and especially that of the Presbyterian shores | Bat we think that some other. thing interest can be 7 wor , one name that filled a prominent place in eur Chareh, a little more than a century ago—the name of one who was dilligent and active, “in labors more abundant,” from 1715 to 1753, but who disappeared from public view and sank into the grave, almost unnoticed and unkuown in this then wilderness; and not a stone tells where he was buried. We refer to the first missionary and gospel pioneer in Western North Caro- lina, Rev. John Thompson, who traversed this region before the days of McAdden, M’Whorter, Spencer, Craighead, ete. He was a native of Ireland, and came to New York, as a licentiate, with a family in 1715. Soon after, he went to Lewes, in Delaware, and was ordained there in 1717. After a few years, for want of support, in 1729 he went to New Castle, in the same State, and remained there only till 1732, when he removed to Chestnut Level. In 1739, being appointed by Donegal Pres- bytery to itinerate in the Valley of Vir- ginia, he visited that region. A call for his labors was presented to his Presby- tery, by the congregation of Opequhon ; and he requested a dismission from his charge, to remove to Virginia, but his re- quest was not granted, nor was he re- leased, till 1744, when he made his home in the valley, being entrusted with the charge of missionary operations in Western Vir- ginia. In fulfillment of the duties of his office, this same year, he for the first time visited North Carolina. This must have been after May, of that year ; for in the Records of the Synod of Philadelphia, we find that, ‘A represen- tation from many people of North Caro- lina, was laid before the Synod, showing their desolate condition, and requesting that Synod would take their cstate into consideration ; and ,petitioniug that we would appoint one of our number to cor- respond with them. Ordered, that Mr. Jobn Thompson correspoud with them. {Webster’s History Presbyterian church page 210.) What part of the State this petition cawe from does not appear—in this part of it, the first settlement began between 1740 aud 1750; and in Jones’ Defence, it is said that the first settlers in Mecklenburg came 1750. Mr. Foote says, scattered settlements were made along the Catawba, from Beattie’s Ford to Ma- son’s some time before the country be- came the object of emigration to any con- siderable extont, probably about the year 1740. “By 1745 the settlements in what is now Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties, were humerous; and about 1750, and on- ward for a few years, the settlements grew dense for a frontier, and were unit- ing themselves into congregations.” It is probable, then, that the Evangelist vis- ited, at that time, people who petitioned in counties farther North and East, which would naturally be first occupied; al- though Wayne, Frauklin, Caswell, Rock- ingham, ete., according to Dr. Caruthers, were not settled till about 1750. But he also says that, “from 1745 to 1758 the two Synods of Philadelphia and New York appointed missionaries fre- quently to North Carolina, as well as to the other provinces of the South.” Mr. Thompson did not probably remain long on that visit. Mr. Foote says that he was here at the time of his appointment; and he is recorded absent from the Synod that year. That he was a prominent member of the Synod of Philadelphia appears from his being appointed on important com- mittees to prepare papers, conduct, cor- respondence ete,—Thus in 1738 he was on &@ committee to draft a letter in reply draft instructions for an other Committee toa letter from the Synod in Ireland. At the same session he was on a committee tu wait upon the Governor of Virginia, to pro- etre the favor and countenance of the Government of that province in behalf of the Presbyterian settlers in the back parts of it. He was on the commission of Syn- od to the time of his death in 1753. He had no important share in the divis- lon of 1741 into what was called “the oid side” and “the new side.” He took an active and in some respects” says Dr. Hodge, “a very mistaken part in op- position to Mr. Whitfield and Mr. Tennent; yet no one can read his Writings without being impressed with re- spect for his character and talents. And It is a gratifying fact that Mr. Tennent himself, after the excitement of contro- versy had subsided, came to speak of him in terms of affectionate regard. Indeed, were nothing known of these men but their controversial writings, the reader would hardly fail to think that, in ha- mility, candor and Christian temper, Mr. ~ae 4 b U opponent.” He pitblished eeVeral dis- courses, and, in 1745, a phamlet on Church Govetnntetit, which was answered by Rev: Saitiuel Blair of New Londonderry, Penn+ sylvauia. Of this answet, called A vin- dication of those opposed to Mr. Thompson, we have acopy. In 1742 he published a Sermon on the nature of Conviction for Sin, and in 1749 An Explication of the Short- er Catechism. Of this latter we have often heard in the country above us; but we have never seen acopy. In Webster's History of the Presbyteriaa Church, one is spoken of, in the hands of Rev. B. M. Smith, D. D., at Union Seminary, Virginia. His descendants in this region have a ee ee sah aa a wi < tans o pe De whom he had three, his wife having died early. They probably allude to this Cate- chism. An old gentleman in this vicinity speaks of it as well known here in early times and in common use. In 1745 he and Messrs. Alison, Steel, Griffith and McDowell were appointed on a committee to draw up a plan of Union to be presented to the Presbytery of New York. This was presented and we have it in the records of the Synod of Phila- phia, for that year; but it proved unsat- isfactory to the New York brethren, who proposed to erect an independent Synod. The same committee was appointed to draw up an answer to this proposal ; they did so, and made their report which was ‘“approven.” At the same meeting he was also appointed on other important committees. Where he was for the next few years does not appear. At the meeting of Synod 1749, a Thompson was present ; but it was pro- bably Samuel; fur in the course of the session, the delegates of the Synod of New York were present and conferred with them about a plan of Union; and it was ordered that Mr. Griffith write to Mr. Thompson in Virginia on this head, though his name is not recorded among the ab- sentees. He was present in May, 1750, and was appointed ona committee to settle some difficulty at Brown Meeting House, in Va., and also to loose an obligation of marriage, rashly entered into between a@ young man and woman, the fermer of whom was, it seems, culpable in the mat- ter, and, by the order of Synod, was pub- licly admonished by Mr. Thompson. It appears from the records of the next year that he did not fulfill his appointment in Virginia and was excased. He was ab- sent from the fall meeting of that year ; but was in attendance, for the last time, on the twenty-seventh of May, 1752, when his “last year’s absence was excused for indisposition.” On the twenty-fourth of May, 1753 it was recorded that “the Rev. Messrs. Thompson and Hugh Conn died since our last Synod ;” and no further notice is taken of his death. He is disposed of in Sprague’s Annals of the American pulpit in a note of about ten lines in length. It has already beey mentioned that he had three daughters; one of these was married to a Rev. Mr. Zanchey, who liv- ed at Buffalo, Prince Edward, Va., and another to Roger Lawson, who removed from Iredell County, then Rowan, North Carolina to Georgia—the ancestor of Roger Lawsoa Gamble, a man of some prominence in that State, a few years ago; and a connection of Jadge Hugh Lawson White of Tennessee. A third one, (but the order of their ages is not known,) by the name of Elizabeth, was married toa Mr. Baker,‘one of the oldest settlers on Davidsou Creek, in the lower end of Ire- dell county, and in what was afterwards called Centre Congregation, near the road from Salisbury to Lincolnton, by Beattie’s Ford and about five miles from the latter. Now it appears from the traditions of the country, that he came out here to the house of his-son-in-law, in the sammer of 1751, which explains, in part, why he was absent from the fall meeting of Syn- od in September of that year. He was the first minister of the gospel, probably, of any denomination, who visited this region to preach. It is supposed that be came at the solicitations of Moses Win- slow, Geerge Davidson and other settlers on the same creek in the vicinity of his son-in-law, who had known him in Penn- sylvania, The latter was living in 1751, near the ford on that creek, on the road by Ceutre church to Statesville. He seems to have come out here for the purpose of remaining, and hence it is difficult to un- derstand a statement in Foote’s sketches ‘Mr. Patillo and another young man who had engaged to go to Pennsylvania and commence their studies, under the care and tuition of Rev. Mr. John Thompson, who was at this time in Carolina, on a mission to the new settlements.—While waiting, in the summer of 1751, for Mr. Thomp- son’s return from Carolina, the young man who had engaged to go with Mr. Patillo preparing for the ministry. Like the prophet of old, traveling to the Mount of God, the old man having fought a good fight and contended earn- eastly for the faith in the middle States and Virginia, took his staff and came to lay the foundation where others had not been before him. An apecdote is told of his traveling from Prince Edward here on foot. Atsome house where he lodged, he inquired in the morning how his horse Thompson was greatly superivr to his had fared during the night. The lady of of North Carolina, where he speaks of to Pennsylvania, abandoned the design of Ms ae South, where is now standing a large poplar tree, about twenty feet in ciream- ference a little above the ground, beneath which, according to tradition banded down by old men, they had preaching in the first settlement of the country, and some commenced burying their dead there in expectation that a church would be erect- ed on the spot. Probably he had another stand further south in the region of Hope- well and Sugar Creek churches. It is said that he went on his circuit on horse-back, prepared to encamp wherever night over- took him, hoppling his horse and turning him loose to feed upon the fbundant and luxurious pea- vines which continued green nearly all winter. People in these new settlements went great distance to his appioniments ; some- times, it is said, he had twenty infants to baptize at one service. He made these circuita) and justly, sources of profit to himself, by looking out and having surveyed fot himself tracts of the best land, which he conveyed to bis friends for a small consideration, as they imigrated hither. The Deed from him for a tract of six hundred tnd forfy acres on Fifth Creek, about five miles east of Stateaville, to the father ofthe Rev. James Hall, D. D., is in our possession, witness- ed by his daughter, Elizabeth Baker, nine pounds, Virginia currency, about thirty dollars, is the consideration mentioned in this Deed. In it, mention is made of two other tracts surveyed for him, on the same creek. The date is February 1752. place where Col. Thos. A. Alison vow lives, ou Fifth creek, was surreyed for him, 1751. Also where Wm. Swan lives, on Fourth creek. We have already spoken of his making his home with his son-in- law, Baker ; but the latter was not a man of such habits as to be always agreeable society to the aged preacher, for we must suppose that he was at least sixty ycars old by 1753; and he had acabin built but a little distance from the house, in which he spent most of his time, when at home. Aud, at length, where he studied and prayed, there he died ; and where he gave up the ghost, there, under the floor of his cabin, as in the case the great imposter, Mohammed, ‘“‘he was piously interred, by the hands of his nearest kinsman, on the same spot on which he expired.” And where he was buried there he will be raised at the last ; day but no one knows now the very spot—no monument was erected. An old lady, Mrs. White, who died afew years ago, couldpoint out the part of the grave- yard in which he was laid ; but not the exact spot. This was the beginning of what is known in this day as Bakers’ grave-yard, one of the oldest in the region. The matter of building a charch near the spot seems never to have becn agitated ; though it is a very uncommon thing for Presby- terians to deposit their dead except where there is or is expected to be a church erected; but most of the families in the neighborhood began to bury by the side of the grave of the man of God, and they have in many cases coutinu- ed to do so until the present day ; though it is not on any public road, and a stranger might pass along quite near it without knowing the vicinity of the sa- cred spot. The names of Brevard, Wins- low, Wilson, Courior, McConnel, Givens, Lawson, White, etc., are here found on the monuments. His daughter, who married a Baker, had a family of five children; and her husband died soon after her father. One of her sons inherited the farm and occu- pied the homestead for a time ; when he, with other members of the fainily, migrat- ed to the South-west. At the close of the late war, some young men who had been in the army of Virginia, descendants of the fumily, came through the, country to visit the old spot, cunabula gentis, of which nothing now remains but the cellar of the origivual dwelling-place, the house being transferred to the opposite side of the creek. Mrs. Baker can hardly have remained long a widow ; for she married, for her second husband, Charles Harris of Ca- barrus county; and in addition to her former family, had two sons. The elder of these, Samuel Harris, went to Princeton College and was graduated there in 1787; taugh school for a time afterward, in the Clio Academy, in Iredell county, North Carolina; returned to Princeton, and officia- ted as Tutor in the College, where he died in 1789. The second son, Charles, was born in 1762, and became the late Dr. Chas. Harris, a physician of great repute iu his day—the father of the present Chas. J. aud Wm. Shakespeare Harris, who are among the most respectable citizens of the county. Mr. Harris died on the fourth The, were sent out by the Synod of. Philadel- phia, in 1753, with special directions to pay attention to the vacancies in North Carolina, between the Yadkin and Cataw- ba rivers. This would exactly cover the greund occupied by Mr. Thompson. That year, Rev. Hugh MeAdden was graduated at Princeton College ; and in 1775, he was licensed and came through this region of country on a tour—he kept a journal of his travels and of the places he visted, a part of which is given in Feote’s sketch- es. From this we learn that he passed South, and returned again within two miles of Mr. Thomsons’ grave; lodged repeatedly in the neighborhood; and preached at some of the same places as Mr. Thompson, in his circuit, yet makes no allusion to his predecessor who had so recently died. But we presume that most, if not all, the missionaries who came to build on his foundation were men who sympathized in in opinion with the New side; while he was the hated and maligned leader of the Old. The troubles of the Indianand French wars, for a time occupied a good deal of attention: there were no religious news- papers ; and few papers of any kind were published in the country. Soon, also, the disturbances and calamities of the old Revolutionary War came on. Born by the side of the river Foyle in the North of Ireland, where he first op- ened his eyes ou the world, he elosed them in the wilderness, on the banks of the Catawba: an ocean rolls between his cra- dle and his grave, an emblem of his stormy life. Ireland gave him birth; Iredell county a grave; the heavenly Jerusalem tinal rest. The place of the first grave can only be arrived at be inference. Some very old graves are marked; as that of Satnuel Wilson, 1778. Some that appear still older, are those of Hugh Lawson, brother of Roger L., and of Moses White. One is a little east of the centre, and the other a little west. An old grave between them may be that of the veteran soldier of the Cross, and the pioneer of the Gospel, in Western Carolina. In Sprague’s Annuals of the American Pulpit, vol. III, page 22 note, he is said to have died at Buffalo, Prince Edward County, Va. ‘Dr. Alexander said, he lies in Buffalo grave-yard without a stone.” Webster’s History, page 356. We havea conveyance written and signed by him- sclf to the father of Dr. James Hall, of a Survey of a tract of land, 640 acres, on Fifth creek in 1751, Mareh, where Mr. Hall, was the living—witnessed by Eliza- beth Baker. He had 2 or 3 other tracts on the same creek; one where Mr. Wm. Swan now lives. Ina letter dated July 22, 1847, Mr. Foote says, “I had never heard that the grave of Thompson was on the Catawba river, before your letter informed me of it— It contains the ashes of a great and good manu—his oppossers being judges.” We gather the following additional facts from Mr. Foote’s sketches of Va., pages, 118, 119. Mr. Thompson visited Va., 1739, spent some time in the neighborhood of Staun- ton--on Rockfish in Nelson--on Cubcreek, at Buffalo—and in Campbell County. “He took up voluntary collections for preaching the Gospel,” says the manu- script history of Lexington Presbytery, “and in doing justice to his memory, it is proper to observe, that he was active in promoting the Presbyterian cause in Va.” He wasa man of great vigor, and took an active part in the affairs of the chureh. * * © He lived for a short time at Buffalo, to which place Mr. Sankey his son-in-law, removed with his congrega- tion, and continued their pastor several years. [We find in the Minutes of the General Assembly, 1789, the name of Richard Sankey, pastor of Buffalo Creek ebarch.] Mr. Thompson removed (as abeve) to N. C., and died in the bounds of centre congregation, Of one of Mr. Thompson's publications, Rev. B. M. Smith, D.D. of Union Semi- nary, Va., says the book I have belonged te my grandfather who was an elder of the old Cumberland Church, one of the earliest organized in these parts—it is a plain but very full explication of the Shorter Catechism, somewhat inthe man- ner of Fisher aud Vincjevt. He has a long quotation iu his dedication from the prefare of the latter. The explanations are so full as to forbid the idea that he expected them to be committed to mem- ory. containing, 1, the XXXIX Articles re- He gives an appendix Some North Carolina merchants and farmers residing at opmear Charlotte, in that State, have organized a mining*board for the purpose of promoting the mineral interest of the Commonwealth, and col- lecting all the information that can be obtained respecting the undeveloped as well as the prospected and worked depos- its of ore around them, From the statistics which the new board has already collected, it appears that the gold-producing area of the State is no less than twelve thousand square miles in ex- tent, on which about one hundred and forty mines are now in operation, and that the total yield recorded up to June of last year was as much as $10,370,492. In addition to gold, the State is rich in deposits of copper, coal, iron, soap-stone, manganese, whetstone, and other valuable rocks and minerals, the iron beds espe- cially being so pure that in Granville county a hundred pounds of ore taken from a vein of inexhaustible quantity yields eighty pounds of soft, malleable metal. Surely, the day can not be far distant when all these advantages will be turned to profitable account. That they have not been so already is that the State has neglected itself; that those at whose doors nature has laid her richest stores have overlooked her gifts and have been con- tent to plod along in the way of their fa- thers, growing cotton and buying the corn and pork their own fields and farms should have supplied. That a rapid change is coming over the spirit of the North Caroliniaus is manifest from many circumstances, vot the least of which is the organization of this mining board and the efforts being made to open up the navigation of the Yadkin and the Pee Dee rivers. There is a tendency, however, in these excellent movements, which should be guarded against. This tendency is to appeal to Congress for help, in place of relying mainly on organized and judicious-self effort te achieve the developments and improvements needed. Congress is but a frail reed to trust to in such matters, and its appropriations, when granted, are too often squandered in mis- conducted contracts and expensive engi- neering experiments. The Northern and Eastern public, on the other hand, possess an inexhaustible purse, and, as a rule, every dollar they put out does good work. It is to the latter source our neighbors must apply their chief attention. The bare facts are good enough to insure a generous recognition if they are persist- ently laid before the monied and working Northerners. Carolina is ten fuld as rich as the Black Hills, and but a quarter of the distance away, but thousands are thronging to the latter while the former is utterly ignored. The reason is simple enough. The Black Hills are well adver- tised by those who settle there, and by those who take the settlers there. The railways vie with the farmer and diggers in extolling the barren riches of their bleak mountains. Let the Carolinas do but halfas much for themselves, and they will have little need to petition Congress or deplore the blindness of Eastern spec- ulators.—The South, N. Y. — —~——eoo Governor Tilden has been interviewed on the Florida Fraud exposure. The Philadelphia Times’ special correspondent says that Mr. Tilden in a conversation with a prominent political friend on the recent Florida developments, said that he bad no part whatever, directly or indi- rectly, in procuring the coufession of the Florida ballot thieves. He said that he had neither advised in favor or against the passage of the Electoral Commission act; that he had submitted to it as the law and felt bound to obey the judgment of the lawful tribunal that decided against him, and that he could not disturb the peace of the country by individually, or through others acting under his direction, bring exposures of well-known frauds to the surfuce. He spoke with great cau- tion about what might be his duty in case the frands should be clearly proven be- fore a competent tribunal, and reach to the Presidential title by implicating its possessor, and avoided any direct expres- sion of cunviction on the subject. There is no question but that many of Mr. Til- den’s friends, who have hitherto regarded the Presidential issue as settled, believe now that Hays will be so implicated in guilty knowledge of the Louisiana and Florida frauds that there will be no party willing to sustain him in the Presidential chair. coe! aa ’ " : : as ‘ te 3 in in statu , _ tte > og .

James Belford on the financial question, which closes: “And now, in conclusion, per- mit me te say that the disease of this na- tion to-day is its vast fidebtedness 3 its indebtedness growing out of the war, its indebtedness incurred by wild specula- tions and unprofitable ventures; its in- debtedness born of the fever of extrava- gance for foreign silks, velvets, Jaces, and gewgaws ; indebtedness incu in con- structing railroads managed adversely to the interests of those who paid for the construction ; its indebtedness comtracted in erecting gorgeous churches, temples where religion has every grace except the heart. For this disease experience can suggest but one cure—industry, economy, and time. This cure disregarded, the fever and delirium will increase until bankruptcy overtakes us all. This cure applied, the recovery, though slow, will be absolutely certain.” ~~ GRANT ON OUR GENERALS. A correspondent who accompanied Grant on his voyage in the Mediterranean says while on the Vandalia, Grant dis- cussed the war aud gave his opinion of his opponeuts most liberally. He looked upon General Joseph E. Johnston as the ablest on the Southern side. Lee, he says, had a splendid genius and thorough- ly understood the theory of war, but he was not so able in practice. Jackson, he considered the most overrated man of the war. The opinions will, I am sure, be counter to those of the future historians. Already Sheibert, of the Koyal Prussian Engineers, has shown what a host “Stone- wall” was and how his chieftain felt his loss. ——_- Independents.—Indepentdents of what ? About election day they are going to be very independent of election. These are some of the “‘bold men” that the radicals want to break up the democratic organi- zation with. They need not be making pro- mises about the way in which they are go- ing to serve the people. The people don’t want to be served in that independent way. They want their own servants. We don't believe that these independent gentlemen have thought very well over the matter, and we do hope that they will, on their account, not on any other. They are going to be so awfully lonesome when the result of the election comes in.—Ral- eigh Observer. a From 45 to 38 Cents. [Lexington Recorder.) At the late meeting of the county com- missioners for Davidson county, the county tax Was reduced from 45 to 38 cents on the one hundred dollars worth, making it equal with the State tax. Both together now make 76 cents in place of 83 as before. Would it not be well for fair-minded men, irrespective of party, whe desire honest government and low taxes, to contrast this action of a Democratic board with the Radical management a few years back? Thisisa sample of the reform that Democratic governments are bring- ing about all over the country, from Con- gress down to the smallest bodies. —___ ao Sea bean jewelry is becoming popular These beans are found in quantities at Key West.

Instruction in the Word of God and doctrines of Chti is one of these, This is to be done in the house by parents whom God has placed in this position and relation that they may teach their children the truth as it is in Jesus, No Sunday-school or other institution for the instruction of the young dare be made & substitute for this. They may be blessed aids and assistants to home instruction, but must never be the cause for laying‘such home instruction aside. , Another feature of the church in the house is its religious worship. To have thechurch in the house, that house must have its Glos- ets and its altar where prayer is wont to be made. It must be a house where the spirit of Christ rules and controls the inmates ; where righteousness and love and peace pre- vail, and are manifested in the way its mem- bers speak to and treat each other. It must bea house from which every usholy book and periodical and every unclean’ portrait or picture is excluded, and across the thresh- hold of which the slime of the serpent’s trial is not found. Such a house isa true home, and the dearest spot on earth to itsinmates, Blessed in its purifying influence on all whe come under its roof, and thrice blessed in the strong hold it retains on the memories of those who, in the course of life,must go thence into the world. Well may St. Paul say “greet” such homes! They are to be envied far above all gaudy palaces, and tur- reted castles where every luxury abounds, but where the peace of God is. unknown. Where the church is in the house, be it but hut or hovel, there is love and joy and light even in poverty and suffering, anda type and earnest of the church in the house not made with hands, eternal in the heay~ ens, ee Era Socialism in Germany. The Socialist movement in Germany is assuming somewhat alarming proportions. In some of the large towns it seems to be ap- proaching a crisis. In Berlin Socialist ar- tisans are daily declaring their determina- tien to leave the church, and it is thought that still larger numbers would secede were it not for the fine exacted from persons de- claring such an intention. - Socialists in Germany are atheists. The movement in its religious aspect is the outcome of the in. fidelity and formalism that have been for a long time growing within the church. Poli- tically, it is only another phase of the French Commune, Its strength and sudden growth may be judged from the fact that whereas in 1871 the Socialist party could command but 120,000 votes and two members in Par~ liament, it registered last year 497,000 votes, nearly one tenth of the whole voting popu- lation, and returned twelve members to the National Legislature. Of its recent rapid strides the conservative community secms ta have been almost unaware. On a late Sun. day, however, a demonstration was made at the funeral of one of the Socialist lead- ers which has done a good deal to arouse sentiment and disclose the grave dangers that lie hidden beneath the surface. The deceased was one August Heinch, a foreman in a Semi-Socialistic printing-house, and a successfut propagator ot Socialistic doctrines, His death was supposed to be occasion. ed by- excitement and over-work in thid cause. In the funeral procession fully ten were the red badge of the Commune, As many as a thousand women were among the number, and even little chrildren, decked with crimson scarfs. Six members of Par- liament, also ornamented with, red headed casion. In all the streets a vast multitude of astonished spectators was gathered. At the cemetery belonging to one of the athe. ceremonies were held, consisting only of re- volutionary and eulogistic speeches, and singularly enough, a Lutheran choral, there being as yet no distinctively Sociulist- bymas or music. An ill-judged attempt was lately made by some of the clergy to. establish a -counter-movement by organizing @ party of “Christian Socialists.” As the fundamental doctrine of Socialism is disbelief in Christi. able, of course, the effort. was a failure, and only brought contem pt on its originators, Thoughttul people are awaiting further de. ! concern.— Chr.

The Bankrupt Law.—At the time oar last week’s paper weut to press, no doubt waa entertained anywhere out of Wash- ington, of the repeal of this law. But a marvelous change took place there in a night.~ Senator Ransom came forward in a speech pleading for the debtor class of his fellow-éitizens in such pathetic strains that the braker were at once applied to nal agtion and the repeal hangs in suspepse. Ft is very remarkable that Senator f{ansom should have no sympathy at all for tient otlrer and larger class of his fellow citizens, the creditors who, under the operation of the Bankrupt and Home- stead Laws haye been denied the privil- ege of asserting their claims. It was the unfortunate rich man, the speculator and trader agaist the liod-carrier, the mason, the carpenter, the widow with her rem- pant loaned, the farmer, blacksmith and cobler. Members of Con, 2s seem will- ing to crush a cheknent eas creditors rather than subject onp hundred of the former to the annoyance of being forced to pay their honest debts. We think ii ig the verdict of nine out of ten of the people of this part of the State that both he Homestead and the Bankrapt Laws were grand mistakes from the heginnjng, Mr. Ransom’s opinion to the contrary potwithstanding. With- vat them all the questious of debt it is believe would have found a legal solution and settlement under the laws under which they were greated loug ere this time, apd the ppsiness of the country have pugtained no such shock as re- agited from the destruction of confidence by a system which fostered dishonesty ang restrained justice. We copy in an- wther column the Senator’s speech, whig¢h we nnbesitatingly pronounce an exaggera- tion in respect to the public sentiment of the pgople of North Carolina in the pro- position to repeal the Bankrupt law. The Senator and hjs colleagues are mis- taken, It is not the voice of the people they hear, but the voice of men who are either meditating robbery or an easy es- cape from debts which justice and hon- est demgng they should pay. eae Congress, May 6.—The Senate Com- mittee on Labor and Education agreed on @ bill to restrict Chinese immigration.

The appeal is yery moderately put, and asa matter of simple justice to Judge Wilson we subjoin the article referred to ; JUDGE THOS. J. WILSON, To the Editar of the News, Sir:—] learn fram the aetien of the State Execnijve Committee that the Ju- dicial Districts, ju which there are to be vacancies, are requested to recommend candidates to the State Convention for the office of Judge, of their respective dis- tricts. This is exactly as it should be ; and I presume that the several conven- tions will carry qut in letter and spirit, the resolution of the State Committee and that in so doing they will bring the very best men of each district before the State Capyention to be held in Raleigh on the 13th of June. There is, I think, no dis- trict jn the State provided with more or better materjal for Judges than the sev- nth. Wilgon, Clement, Graves agd oth- ers would adorn the Jadicial ermine of any State. The names of the three men- tioned will doubtless be before the Raleigh Convention ; and without detracting in the least from the pre-etyinent qualifica- tions of the last two, the claims of the first named seem to me to qvershadow those of all others. A few years ago, un- der gn act of a Democratic Legialature, orderjng an election in his district, he was promoted, by an overwhelming ina- jority, to the Bench in the place uf that Judicial odity and most remarkable cu- riosity in animated natyre, Judge Cloud. Judge Wilson surrendered a large and lucrative practice, and rode the cireuit until he was ousted by the Supreme Court, and the will of the people was crushed out in the reinstatement of Cloud. I will not attempt to classic language quote the jubilgnt Cloud, commencing with, “Thar, pow! and ending with, (Ain't Wilson played H~1!” but simply gtnte the result of the Judge’s reliance upon a Democratic legislafiye gonstruction of ghe Canby Consgtitutiqn, and his obe- dience to the behest of his party. It It was temporary loss. of his practice,— the footing of all the expenges incident to riding the cireuit, out of lis ewn pocket, the payment to.Cloud of etery cent of the salary he had received as Judge. He has ever held himself obedient to the call of his party, even at the sacrifice of his per- sonal interesta; but while an uncompro- pising Democrat, nothing would more aurely wound his native delicacy and sengitjye honor than the bare suspicion that he was capable of knowing a party upon the Bench. He is one of the most estimable of mgn, combining in - adwira- ble proportions ip the “Suaviter in modo” with “fortiter in re,” He has patience, judicial learning and nphending integrity, which I tuke to be the threp grand requis- ites for a Judge. I am emburvessed in writing of Judge Wilson, by tha fear of drifting into what may seem to strangers fulsome praise; but the difficulty springs from the fact, that in his ease marked tryth ja the highest panegyric. Permit me to say that this is written without hia knowledge, and that the writer has in view only JusTICE. The three. p —_— THE UNIVERSITY NORMAL SCHOOL.

In }868, by a constitutional convention a home- exemption clause for the first time was placed in our constitution. This elaase allowed every head of a family in. the State to retaiu five haudred dollars’ worth of personal property and a thousand ‘lol- lara’ worth Of real estate.

If voters see proper to give the nomination I will ac- eept, and if elected will serve them to the best of my ability.

Having been a farmer, I think I know what will be to the inter- est of the farmers.

I hope that the Democratic voters of Rowan county that meet in the Con- vention to be held at Salisbury on the | 18th of May will consider the claims of Mr. Barringer as a candidate for the house of Commons, and will arge his claims and give him the nomination. i as the people need aud demand: A stock | law, a disposition of the State debt, a dog | law, a movement for the restoration of | the whipping post, &c., are measures of | great interest to the people and it is im- | portant that we be represented by men | whose position on all public questions are well defined, VOTER. ——_- A DESTRUCTIVE CYCLONE. [Durham Tobacco Piant.] On Wednesday night a very destructive cyclone passed over the plantation of Albert Vanghan on Flat River and in a few hundred yards of his house. It was not more than thirty yards wide but de- stroyed everything initstrack. Inetrack the house of Jo Walker who lived on Vaughan’s plantation, and completely de molished it. Mr. Walker, bis wife and some five or six children were in the house at the time, It was an Old fashioned log house built out of hewed logs, most of them twelve inches deep, and we learn that it was not left more than three logs high and the wonder is that any of the inmates escaped with their lives. Mr. Walker was terribly mangled and no hopes are entertained of his recovery. The children were all injured more or less though none of them mortally wounded. The cyclone did not leave a tree of any size in its track. oS A Grand Mixture of Blue and Gray. Cincinnati, April 30.—An enthusiastic meeting of citizens was held here to-day, which endorsed Mayor Moore’s project for a grand jubilee next September, compris- ing a vast encampment of soldiers from both armies in the late war.

It also prohibits the charging of a greater rate of freight fur a short distance than for along one on the same line. It is claimed that it will put an end to all rail- road wars. The bill, it is said, was drawn originally by a Buffalo railroad lawyer, who was paid $5 000 for it by the oil-men, and has been most carefully revised by the Commerce Committee. One familiar with the subject says it will hold water. ee ILLUSTRIOUS JEWS. It is remarkable how many of the lead- ing men of the world have sprung from Jewish stock. For ages they were de- spised and persecuted as no other people have ever been. But within a hundred years there has been a mighty change, and during that period some of the most famous men have been of the Jewish race. They have sacceeded in all departments of intellectual enterprise and endeavor where brains and courage and persever- ance were demanded. In war, three of Napoleon’s great Marshals were Jews, namely, Ney, Messena and Soult. In philosophy, Spinoza, one of the greatest thinkers of any age. In statemanship and deplomacy, Mefternieh and Earl Bea- consfield.. In astronamy, the two great Herschels. ‘In history, the wonderful Neander.

Massna, Epipors: In offering a few suggestions with reference to an Experi- ment Farm, we de pot wish to be under- stood as finding fyult wjth or in any way pttacking the management of the Vniver- sity, eo fr qs it goes, On the other hand, we im are fullaympathy with all that is be- {ug done by the guthorjties of that time honored institution. It is of what has been left undone that we complain. We would have the Uniyersity in fuct, what jt is in name, and to further this end we, in behalf of the farmers of the State, urge that gn Experiment Farm be added. ‘The University hag land jmmediately joining its campus admirgbly adapted to this purpose, while the State has dead- head convicts enough with the aid of a few dynamite cartridges tq remoye every tree stump and stone for one hundred acres of this land in a few montha, With the stones taken from the land and others, pear by, might be built a substantial stone wall around the fyrm. Such a wall en- closes the campus and stands aa 3 monu- went to the perseverance of the late Dr. Mitchell, who said “if the negroes throw down the fence they cannot burn the rails.” The farm might thus be opened and ready fur the plough at little extra cost. a We suggest that a practical, intelligent farmer might he found who would be wil- ling for the products of the farm as his remuneration, to cultivate and superin- tend the farm at his own expense, the Vniversity furnishing seed, fertilizers and implements free of charge. The superin- tendent would prepare, manure, plant, cultivate and gather according to the care- fully written inatractions of the Brofessor ju charge, ll ta be recorded jn Looks kept for thas purpose. With the result of these crops, the char- acter of the soil, the preparation of the jand{the kind and quantity of fertilizers applied, how cultjvated, how gathered, the yield per acie, &c., thus carefully re- porded, @ fund of knowledge wauld in a few years be accumulated worth ten times the cost of the faxm, and carrying as it would, the sanction of authority, would furnish valaable material for the preag of the State apd would thus he conveyed to in good order for plowing. An Experiment Farm is to the agricu’- tural student what the hospital and dis- secting room are tg the medical student; what most courts are te the law student, what an apprenticeship js to the mechan- jc, All agree these are indispensable, but p farmer is expected to take up” the call- ing and practice all that agricultural chemistry treats of without any demon- stration whatever, In England st one time no one was allowed to hire himself ase plowman uotil he could construct the plow, The State is well supplied with institu, tions for the traiping of boys for the learned profeasions, but for a farmer to get a practical scientific education he must leave the State. We have heard that the late Gov, W. A, Graham said better omit Greek at the University than fail to pro- vide an Experiment Farm. Much is be- ing done in different parts of the State by individuals on their private eatates to work out eome of the difficult preblems in agriculture, but as commendable as this is it falls very far short of supplying this great want. For such experiments, how- ever gratifying to the experimenter, from want of knowlédge in codaeting them, or lack of painstaking care in gathering or weighing the crop, fail to carry with their reports any weight of authority whatever while the public is ignerant of the means by which the results were attained. By adopting the plan suggested the farm might be operated at small expense, but if a pittance for incidentals be asked, with what propriety could it be with- held ? Some of the Colleges established by funds donated by Congress have failed to attract large numbers of students, and should it prove so in this case, the small outlay for the farm would be as nothing compared with the advantages to be de- rived from it. Any student not taking an agricultural course, who will twice a week for two years walk over the experiment farm with his eyes open will carry home a more correct idea of practical farming than one who takes that course and learns no- thing but theory in the lecture room. Hon. K. P. Battle asserts in his address that every crop grown in the United States with a few exceptions can be grown in the open air in the college campus. If this be so what a wide range of crops ina growing condition might be ander the observation of the students! This fact alqne demonstrated on the farm would du as much towards jndycing immigration as all the statistics of the department of Ag- riculture will ever publish, May we not hope that the time is near whey not only the University, bat Wake Forest, Trinity and Davidson Colleges will be supplied with Experiment Farms, and when in every school in North Caro- lina, as in Germany, shall be taught the fyndaneyta} principles of agriculture. J. R. Huterrys, + —__ W. L. Sauyners, writing from Warm Springs under date of April 25, says; But while I am on this subject, there is another little matter about which I would like to euse my mind if not too wicked. The State of Kansas proposes to send to Washington to be placed iu the Capitol, that js to say with the cansent af Cyn- gress, the statue of old John Brown, the fman who under the laws of Virginia was tried, convicted and hung as a felon of deppest dye. This is the man whose statue the State of Kansas proposes to send to Washington to grace the halls of the nations Capitol. This thing, how- farmers All over the land. 4 ever, cannot be done without the consent The introduction of improved stock on the farm would demand an outlay of money sufficient to erect overseer’s house, barn, ete., but this for some years might not be deemed expedient. Among the any things to be demonstrated on the farm and anything short of demonstration will fajl te convince, for seeing is believ- jug, might be mentioned the advan- tages of a syapematie rotation of crops and the rotation best adapted to the cli- mate of North Carolina; the benefits of purfacé and underdrainage, with the ad- yantages of the latter; how te construct hillside Citcbes and farm roads; the uses nud benefits of irrigation; the best plan for making and saying manures and com- posts; the advantages of the intensive over the extensiye system of farming; the grapes best adapted to North Carolina, with the best method of cutting and cur- ing bay; the advantage of a knowledge of botany, grafting, budding, pruning, ete.; the advantage of turning under green frops, the best tine and the best crops for this purpgse; the advantage of the use pf the most improved jmplements and labor saving machinery on the farm; the advantage of aavjnug the fertilizers manu- factared on the farm and noting their be- havior in the gail, ete, We are conyjnecd that the farmers of North Carolina are in gdyance of their Jeaders in this matter, The dullest farmer ia the State will nat fail to recognize the uecessity of thisadditign, The adyanced to piate of ugriculture in gthep gectiqns of this country requires that to keep pace with it we must have greater facilities fur wequiring mare practical as well as theo- retical knowledge. Without instruction we must remain in the background, the laughing stock of cducated farmers in pther States. No wonder the farmer con- sents gud eyen urges his son to leaye the | of Southern Congressmen, and the ques- tion that will soon como up is what will they do about it? Will reconciliation and reconstruction and forgiveness reach that far? Voting for McNeil is a long step in that direction. We shall see what we shall see. But what about the insult to the sovereign State under whose laws the old rascal was tried, convicted and hung? Will there be no one to stand up and say a word in her defence? If John Brown is a sainted martyr whose statue deserves a place in the halls of the Na- tion’s Capitol, what is Virginia that hang him? Whenever I read about such gush- ing apectacles of reconstruction and re- conciliation, as that recently indulged in by Senators Gordon and Butler, I cannot help thinking of the Bostovian’s reply to the Squth Carolinian during some cen- tennial celebration, when the Charleston military went to Boston and were there most handsomely aad most hospitably entertained. Said the Charlestonian to the Bostonian, “Do you northern people really love us as devotedly as you protest in gpite of the war? Do you really mean what you say?” “Hash,” whiapered the Bostonian, 93 he put his moyth to the ear of his interrogater, ‘*}Tugh ! We app just sbout 98 much jn earnest as you gre when you say you Jove us.” Sol suppose it is all right. Pgblig¢ opinion must be respect- ed, as the man jn the circys said, and the recgneiliation gush must bp submitted ee One of the certajnties in religiqn is that when weak headed preachep has been flattered more than he can hegr he he- comes ay glarming nyiggnce. — The wing aud rain gtoerm of the 24th amounted almast to a haricane ia parts of — county, any} was accompanjed with il. ae a ar ; \ i.

The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public went of the business men and of the interests of the county. The time hascome when almost every county finds it ivdispensable to have a public journal of its own to represent its inter- ests in the various affairs of business, local and general. ‘There is no county in the State that would not be greatly benefited by a journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it serves; and every citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, as a means of increas- ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad. ‘The stronger it becomes the mure beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for its support is far less than the material good it does, it is the best, invest- ment any county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty of every man to keep himself well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor ofa newspaper faithfully and give to his readeis the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be true in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776. Tbe danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people. more pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it, Bat the main degign of The Record js to serve the county of Davidson in all the ways it may be possible to advance her interests and pro- First-Class Sewing Machines, | at prices within the reach of all.

C., April 4th, 1878. Dear WatcHMan :—The folding cur- tain of the murky storm-clouds at length closed upon the sunny pictures, in whose weird loveliness our vision has been rev- elling for weeks together. Balnry south- era gules have given place to chilling Arctic blasts; and to the seemingly end- less drought the slow, cold and continuens April showers succeed. Orchard trees, leaded with pink and white blossoms, like Oriental brides bedecked with jewels, stand shivering in sad surprise. The daises lay their sweet pale heads down on the turf, and meekly bow to the behest of fate. The piteous lowing and bleating of the fanm-yard flocks is heard all through the gloomy distance, as they gather more closely to the barns. The music of the song-birds, whilome so joyful, is hushed ; and the poor little feathered musicians, ensconced amoung the thick boughs of pines and laurels and cedars, hide their heads under their wings, and for the time forget they ever made a tune. The squirrel went to his hollow hours since, and is sound asleep in his warm nest. We too, driven by stress of weather toward the shelter- ing shores of home, must leave the plow to rust in the fresh and suddenly aban- doned furrow, and hasten in to the fire- side, after seeing the work-horse comfor- tably provided for and quietly muching his oats in the warm stable. There is a delicious charm in rural} life, even upon such days as this, when the city’s cheerless walls look like one vast bleak prison. The patter of the rain- drops, mingled with the sound of crowing fowls and tinkling bells and crackling tires, fills one’s soul with a sense of inde- scribable comfort. The stroug home feeling of independence and elbow room and quiet satisfies one of the deepest cravings of the human spirit. And here are the growing crops, the feeding flocks and the results of one’s clear-weather labor in full view, to cheer and gladden more than dark skies can depress. When a cold wet spell comes over the farm, there is no pleasure like the housing and feeding of animals. ‘To take from the well-filled crib a huge basket of corn, and calling the shivering swine from the dis- tant woods, to pour it down and sce them eat, is a pleasure kings might envy. Who does not love to see a hearty hog eat? And yonder come the swarms of pigeons and Muscovy ducks and chickens and guineas and geese all following your foot- steps and asking for their portion. Give me lands rich cnough to make plenty of corn, and then the privilege of feeding it, and you may have all the luxuries of town life for what I care. But when the crop fails through ill-lack or neglect, and you have to stint these hungry ereatures, there is little enjoy ment on a farm for you or them. ‘Therefore to keep just what stock you can feed well, and to plant bountifully Indian corn and other cereal grains is the only wise or hap- py course.- A rough denizen of our North Carolina mountains used to say he knew when a neighbor was prospering by ob- serving the grease marks his children’s hands made upon the house-doors—if these were plentiful he knew the father had good stores of bacou and had made a good corn-crop to fattenit with. Homely but truthful reasoning. There is nothing like a big cornu-pile to drive trouble away and bring happiness to the farm. Given this, and you can have what you please,—bread, meat, mon- ey, clothes or whatever you want. With- out it, farming is a miserable make-sbift —an unutterable sorrow. Buy, then, good land, and work it well and keep it up to its original standard ef fertility. Plant cotton and tobacco if you will; but never till you have large and roomy cribs and @ibckd-hebsen, well-filled SHOWING THAT MODERN SINNERS ARE AS “Llively.

Next year (1879) will complete eighteen round centuries since Pompeii went un- der : was buried. It is a quarter of a cen- tury since I first saw the resurrection of it, and in those twenty-five years the work of disinterment has made no great progress. Indeed, acity that has been in its grave 1,800 years cannot be very been baried, and are ° . ly sinee Pompeii was covered with the pall. Naples and all these villages and towns along the wonderfully beautiful shores of this bay of all water, were one great city in those days. The city was buried in the year of our Lord 79. Its existencé was forgotten. Peasants, digging above in the year 1748, found it, and seven years afterwards its disinterment was begun. I do not see that they get on very rapidly with the work. Sometimes it is suspended for a series of years. It costa much money to dig out a town, and the government of Naples never had money to spare for such romantic work as this. Italy now has it in band, and the treasury is always empty. supposed to be alive, ha o with the same rapidity as in vhe last bun- dred years, it will be completed, and the whole city disinterred, in three or four hundred years more. There is no need of digging out any more of it. It is only more of the same sort that comes to light as the work proceeds, and there is enough now unveiled to tell the story. Bulwer’s ‘Last Days of Pompeii” is the best writ- ten account of it we have, and that is all fiction, but, like many other fictions, is terribly truce. Pliny has left usa descrip- tion of the scene as he saw it. But when you come to stand in the open sepulchre, the story tells itself. Vesuvius is looking right down upon us, smoking unconcernedly, and, so near, it seems incredible a town could have been built within such easy reach of its fiery flood. Now the huge clouds of smoke are rising from its open mouth, in succes- sive folds, They wave a moment about the summit, and then roll down the side of the mountain. We have a vivid idea of the ease with which the great eruption of ashes, lava and stones might have over- whelmed the town, and may do it again. We would prefer to go about this town without an official guide. It ia quite safe, for there are no people in it. There is nothing lying around loose to be stolen, so there could be no harm done by leav- ing us to ourselves. But it is part of the system to charge each person a fee of two francs, forty cents, for the privilege of going into the city, and this entitles the party to a guide, who goes about bother- ing you with talk and putting all senti- ment and reflection out of mind. It was not Christian to wish that he were one of the original inhabitants, but we did wish he were not with us at present. He led us to the Museum in which are placed the results of explorations among the ashes. The most valuable of these have been taken to the Museum at Naples, where the collection has become the most interesting of any in the world. Yet in the widst of this room, on platforms cov- ered with glass, lay the bodies of men and women in the posture in which they per- ished. The process of preservation and exhibition is well known. The flood of ashes came down upon the city and bur- ied the people alive. Each victim was thus enclosed in a case that fitted precise- ly to his form, as now the soft plaster is -put around a person whose east is to be taken by a seulptor. In course of time the case of ashes becomes hardeved, while the body decomposes and is absorbed by the surrounding mass. When the work- men now excavating come upon such an object, instead of breaking it in, or seek- ing to preserve the shell, they report the discovery ; ingenious skill comes to the task and pours liquid plaster into the hol- low until it is full. When it has harden- ed, the outer casing is removed, and the image of the person, in the very posture in which he ceased to struggle with death, is presented, Some are frightfully con- torted. A woman lies on her side in re- pose as peaceful as in sleep, her rounded limbs in striking contrast with the angu- lar muscular development of the men. ‘Those bodies are fearful witnesses of the fate of the city. Ruined temples, thea- tres, baths and homes are magnificent in their graves, and we walk among them with solemn awe, reminded of their an- cient grandeur, of the life that once filled these strceta and courts. But the house that is empty may have been deserted by its inhabitants, and left to decay iu seli- tude: these ghastly bodies, in their death struggles, speak of the awful night when the cities on the shore of this lovely bay of Naples were covered with the melted mountain, like the cities of the plain, when the Lord rained upon them fire and brimstone, a horrible tempest. “The day of wrath, that dreadful day!” In the Mu- suem at Naples there is nothing in the vast collection that touches the visitor with the indispensable stamina of life— something to eat. K.. P.. H. POMPEII: of clay bearing the impression made by breast of a woman lying in it: such a t tells the sad story of a slow and aw- ful death: buat these full-size, perfect forms, in their various attitudes, are very graphic. I brought away with me from Pompeii no relics that will outlive the memory of those glass cases and their contents. This Museum and the one at Naples are to be studied before walking the streets of the city. As we go from house to hoase, and among the shops and baths and pub- lie buildings, we see where the things were standing which we have exam- ined, the uses to -which they were put, and s0 learn the habits of domestic, social and public life in the days of the Cesare. Whe iow that it was a ye ——————————————————————— ae ied may learn something of its wealth, lux- ury and wickedness, from the number, and extent, and nature of its amusements and occupations as attested by these reve- lations. It is not impossible that Naples or Florence, Paris or New York, would be convicted of as gross licentiousness, if its people were banished in a moment, and all the evidences of their guilt left behind them. It is not probable that the art of painting was prostituted more shameless- ly in Italy then than itis now. And the arts of painting and photography are now employed with fearful ingenuity and in- dustry to do the work of the devil with a wiftness of evil that Pompeiian voluptuous- ness never conceived. I had a curious illustration of this fact on the very ground, and while yet in the midst of this city of the dead. I walked two hoars with the guide, and had been properly shocked by the many evidences of the ancient lasciv- iousness of Pompeii: the faded paintings on the walls that may not be described, though one of them is to be found also in St. Peter’s church at Rome: some of the houses are kept under lock and key, that women may not enter them unawares, while men are freely allowed to be cor- rupted if they please to look in upon these mysteries of iniquity : wo had come tothe house of Diomede, and had gove down into the basement rooms, where seventeen persons, most of them women, were found, with their jewels of gold aud precious stones : aud as this was nearly at the end of our explorations, the guide, an official set here by authority to conduct visitors throngh the city, took me into one of the re- motest rooms ofthe house, and produced a disgustipg and indecent pictures that had been found in the whole city. When I turn- ed away, rebuking him for such a traffic, he said he was forbidden to receive any fee, aud this was his mode of getting pay for his services : and he wished to sell these pic- tures at a franc apiece. Here were a government official making sale of copies of the very pictures that were on the walls of private bed-chambers, and whieh are now pointed to as proof that Pompciians were dreadfully wicked people. They were so beyond alldoubt. But the tower of Siloam did not fall on ‘those eighteen” because they were sinners above all that dwelt in Jersusalem. And the dry rain ot Vesuvius did not suffocate the Pom- peiians because they were greater sinuers than the rest of mankind: if it were so, then the dwellers in Naples and New York may set their houses in order, for the elements are as highly charged with electricity now as ever, and it is just aseasy for the God of infinite purity and justice, to drop his bolts of vengeance, and make deserts of cities, as it was in the days of Lot or Pliny. I came out of this house of Diomede very sad and somewhat sick at heart. In a moment I was in the street of tombs; so called because in the walls on each side are set slabs and sepulchral monuments with epitaphs. Familiar classic names, with the dates of birth and death: life over again: we write them and set them up just sonow: “Vix anno XI1:” he was scarcely twelve—early dead —how many memories such a record brings to life again! And they bad their griefs as well as pleasures, these gay rev- ellers: and then the flood came and car- ried them away. We rode back to Naples through a rol- licking crowd of jolly peasants, the most careless, thoughtless set of people under thesnn. A dozen inacart with big wheels, and drawn like distraction by one little horse: some on donkeys and more on foot: asses laden with panniers filled with vegetables, and women on the top of all the load: everybody ina gale of laugh, as if life were a perpetual frolic—this was the scene, and long before I got to Her- culaneum the sentimental! sadness of the buried city had vanished in the amuse- ments of this sunny Italian people. IREN£US. a North Carolina Belle in Columbia. The following from the Columbia Reg- ister refers toa young lady from Salis- bury who has recently been visiting iv Charlotte, and whois well known through- out the State: We forget who it was that said if Le had ninety years to live, he would, if permitted, divide it, and lead it as fol- lows: The first thirty as a beautiful wo- man ; the second thirty asa great general, and the last thirty as a bishop. The lovely belle from North-Carolina, who all the boys are going crazy over, makes us think we'd take the whole ninety as a complete series of photographs of the most} fi and hear Russian,’ German, “and Freiich,| where only a few months before there had } been nothing but Turkish; and rémember- ing how little encouragement I found in the faces of the Turks for any success in Bible distribution, I scanned the new-comers with much interest, wondering whether they would be more accessible. My first feeling was one of disappointment. The men seemed stolid and the officers flippant. There were few specimens of fine physique, still fewer of rea! intelligence, and my thoughts turned more favorably than before to the Turks. I was therefore not a little surprised when I reached Adrianople to learn from our Look-seller, Hatchadoor, that he had sold all his stock ot Russian Scriptures, supplied to him some months before in anticipation of the Russian advance, and that he was daily receiving requests for copies, especially of the Bible. The first thing to be dene then was to get up a supply as soon as possible. I had intended to go out to Philippopolis, and perhaps to Samakov and Yambol; but on learning that the railroad would not take freight in the regular way, I decided to re- turn to Constantinnple, and if necessary, take the books on with me. There being no train on that day, I had an opportunity to call with Mr. Clarke on M. de Nehdoff, to whom he had letters of introduction from Prince Reuss, German ambassador to Con- stantinople, and also on General Stein, com- mander of the headquarters. Both gentle- men received us very cordially, entered most heartily into Mr. Clarke’s plans for relieving the distress of the Bulgarian villagers, and gave him a’ pass through all the Russian lines and on all military trains. I had thought some of requesting a special permit ior colperteurs, but as Hatebadoor had met St. Sophia. It is the only great Christian church which has been preserved from very early times, for the basilicas ot St. John Lateran and St. Mary the Greater, at Rome, have been considerably altered. And in itself it is a prodigy of architectural skill as well architectural beauty. Its enormousarea issur- mounted by a dome so flat, pitched at so low anangle that it seems to hang in air, and one cannot understand how it retains its cohesion. The story is, that Anthemius, the architect, built it of excessively light bricks of Rhodian clay. All around it, di- viding the recesses from the great central area, are rows of majgstic columns, brought hither by Justinian, who was thirty years in building it (A. D. 588-568), from the most famous heathen shrines of the East, among ethers from Diana’s Temple at Ephe- sus, and that of the Sun at Baalbec. The roof and walls were adorned with superb mosaics, but the Mohammedans, who con- demn any representation of a living crea- ture, lest it should tend toidolatry, have cov- ered all these figures, though in some places you can just discern their outlines threugh the coat of plaster or whitewash. In place of them they have decorated the building with texts from the Koran, written in gigan- tic characters round the dome (one letter, Alif, is said to be thirty feet long), or cn enormous boards suspended from the roof, and in four flat spaces below the dome they have suffered to be painted the four arch- angles whom they recognize, cach represent- ed by six great wings, without face or other limbs. One of the most highly cultivated and. widely traveled ecclesiastics whom Rus- sia possesses (they are, unhappily, few cnough), told me that after seeing nearly all the great cathedrals of Latin Europe, he felt when he entered St. Sophia that it far transcended them all; that now forthe first time his religious instincts had been satisfied by a human work. Mr. Fergusson, in his History of Architecture, says something to a similar effect. This will hardly be the feel- ing of those whose taste has been formed on Western, or what we call Gothic, models, with their mystery, their complexity, their beauty of varied detail. But St. Sophia certainly gives one an impression of meas- ureless space, of dignity, of majestic unity, which no other church (unless, perhaps, the Cathedral of Seville) can rival. You are more awed by it, more lost in it, than in St. Peter’s itself.—Macmillan's Magazine. with no hinderance so far, I decided to post- pone it until my return. [After narrating the incidents of his jour- ney to Constantinople and back, Mr. Bliss proceeds :] It was geod to see the eyes of our carncst hard-working Hatchadoor glisten, as we got the boxes into the bookstore, and took out the longed-for Bibles. He started out as soon as he could get them arranged, and sold sixteen Bibles and Testaments in a couple of hours. On this trip I had brought a letter of introduction from Mr. Schuyler, our consul-general, to General Count Igna- tieff, asking his interest in regard to some American property at Samahov, so that I had an opportunity of seeing the fameus diplomat. He was very busy, and I only had a few minutes’ chat, but his cordial, hearty manner would have made me think that the greatest desire of his life was to further the interests of American Bible and missionary work, had it not been for a cold scrutinizing twinkle of the small eyes that recalled to my mind certain experiences of my father's with him, when he was ambas- sador at Constantinople. [A pass was secured from the command- ant at Adrianople, but several days elapsed before a colporteur’s permit could be ob tained, but at last an interview with the proper official was promised.} Accordingly I went again with a full sup- ply of Russian Scriptures and a catalogue of all our books. After some examination to see that I wished to sell only Scriptures, I received three papers, one for myself and two for my colporteurs, giving full permis- sion to circulate the Scriptures anywhere within the Russian lines in European Tur- key, or rather Bulgaria, as I suppose it mast be cailed now. I also received a pass for Constantinople, securing me free passage on all military trains. Of course I was greatly pleased at my success, but almost the best came when three or four officers bought all the nice copies that I carried with me, and requested the book-seller to come again the next morning with some more, as they had ether fricnds who wanted them. The gen- eral himself sent for one, and all seemed very glad of the opportunity to secure the Bible in full. I had been detained so long that I had no time to visit Philippopolis, but engaged a young man who knew some Russian to as- sist Hatchadoor in Adrianople, and go on to Philippopolis. I also sent to Rev. Mr. Clarke, asking him, if he found a good man in the region of Yambol or Yeni-zaghra, to send him to Adrianople for‘a supply of books and one of the permits that I left with Hatchadoor. The next day I started for Constantinople, and this time was 27 hours in making the 146 miles of distance. Now that peace is signed, however, we hope that the trains will run more regularly. Thus my object in going was obtained, and more easily and completely than I had expected. I found the Russian officers and men, wherever I met them, most cordial and apparently interested in my work, and my —___~->>— AMERICAN WOOD FOR PARIS. Oxseof the most remarkable exhibits designed fer the Paris Exposition is a tablet of native American woods, whith consists of a mosaic tablet eight feet wide and twelve feet in height, and was de- signed expressly for Mr. William H. Lip- pincott, the well-known Philadelphia lam- ber dealer, by the best artists and archi- tects of the Quaker City. The tablet is in the Egyptian style, and consists of a flat moulding on the outer edge, made of three-quarter circles of bird’s eye and curled maple, with a triangular shaped piece of bois d’arc and beech filling the blank portion of the circle. The main panel is of white and yellow, pine, ash, tripped and plain walnut, poplar, apple, chestnut and sycamore. The bottom is a broad piece ef close-grained oak, skilfully earved. Resting on the oak rail is an antique vase of various woods from which springs a lotos plant with a wide-spread flower and leaves, all carved with great delicacy from ordinary American build- ing woods. At the right and left upper corners of the tablet are dragons, made of California red wood. The open spaces of the design are filled in with rosettes in relief composed of Florida, North Caro- lina avd New Jersey cedar, with caps of white holly aud locust, forming a most beantiful contrast to the deep red cedar. The tablet is suspended by large rings of black walnut relieved with hickory, from | a handsome bracket with @ polished hick- ory roller. On each side of the bracket is a flying bat carved from butternut wood. Forty-three different varieties of native American woods enter into the eunstruc- tion of the tablet, including besides those already named, birch, elm, cypress, spruce, gum, hemlock and others. Two eross- bars bear the words, “Lippincott, Bois @’Amerique pour l’exportation.” The whole affair has been pronounced to be the finest collection of American woods ever gathered together.

LUCY E. SANFORD. Washington is the centre of an amphi- theatre. The Anacostia on the east, and the Potomac on the West, unite and flow southward. On the opposite shore of each is a range of hills that lose them- selves in the hills of Virginia. A cres- cent formed height sweeps around north of the city: about two-thirds around, it breaks to let a tiny stream pass, and then rising ninety feet, spreads out in a broad plateau, on which stands the Capitol. Eleven streets and avenues, from 130 to 160 feet wide, lead to it. It has 52 acres of ground, and covers 34 acres. It cost, in round numbers, $12,000,000. It is the largest building of the kind in the world, and when finished will be, it is claimed, the finest. It consists of a centre, with two wings and connecting corridors. Length of all, 751 feet. At present the accessories are superior to the principal, which greatly mars the effect, but the plan of the accomplished architect, Mr. Clark, changes this, and in time will be carried out. The centre—the original Capitol—is free-stove, painted white. When the ex- tensions became necessary, the question arose, Shall they match the centre or be us perfect as possible? Perfect was the answer, for it was to be built for an un- limited future, and in that future the cen- tre cau be changed. The wings therefore are of white marble, each with porticos on three sides, and 42 marble, Corinthian, monolithic columns, each 30 feet high above pedestal. All the grand old trees that toned the painted centre have been cut down, and the glare of white makes one ery out for the good time coming when the soft tints of delicately veined marble shall take its plaee, and that wear- isome sky line of 750 feet be broken by a grand ceutral pediment, fall uf Scripture, according to the plans. The west facade is broken by three broad porticos. Those of the wings are each reached by 46 marble steps, with four landings and two buttresses. The House extension is rude, but the Senate pediment has a group by Crawford: The Progress of Civilization in America. The bronze door ia 144 feet high and 9 feet wide; in two leaves and six pauels. The panels have battles of Bunker Hill, Mou- mouth, Yorktown; Inauguration of Wash- ye ¢ i . trai 0 ry ch PSL SSSR gtr - Wee thes Toh ! i by Presicd, each . at Aneast nine feet high, and ¢ Peace were in the Vatican} it would be _ pass in and out without glancing at t. . The grand bronze door of Rogers. is. 19 feet high, 9 feet wide, weighs 20,000 pounds, and cost $28,000. It was mod- elled in Rome and cast in Munich, 1860. Itjsa marvel of beauty. It is in two leaves, each leaf divided into eight panels and each panel is a complete picture, in alto relievo, of scenes in the life of Colum- bus. 1. Before the Council of Salamanca; 3. Before Ferdinand and Isabella; 5. Landing at San Salvador; 7. Triumplial entry into Barcelona; then 8th in chains and 9th dying. On the frame of each leaf are 16 statuettes of his patrons, and be- tween the panels are heads of his histe- rians. Every facial expression is wonder- fully fine. The dome rises from the centre of the main building, and was built in 1856. Its diameter is 136 feet, the fifth in height and fourth in diameter in the world. It stands upon 40 large interior columns with heavy arches, upon which rests the mosaic pavement of the rotanda. As it leaves the roof line of the building it is 124 feet in diameter, and has 36 iron- fluted columns 27 feet high. On the apex is a lantern 50 feet high. It is lighted by electricity, and only when ove or both Houses has a night session. In it is'a re- flector, so the light can be seen all over the city. Would there were more reflec- tors below, so their lights might. be seen thrédghont the world.""On this ‘stands she is 194 feet high and weighs more thay six tons! ae Remember what kind of preacher Jesus Christ was: He was a Son of cousola- tion” indeed.

URSDAY, MAY 16, 1878. ese ee | 10 Mr. Robdbin's late Speech.—We copy an abstract of the speech of our representa- tive, Mr. Robbins, ou the tariff question; and 48 it isa subject which concerns every man, woman and child, we urge our friends to read Mr. R.’s able speech in behalf of his State and section. The Richmond Dispatch also notices this speech as follows : THE SPEECH OF Mi. ROBBIXS. Mr. Robbins, of North Carolina, follow- ed Mr. Tucker, and made a capital speech of nearly an hour and a half on the same side of the tariff question. It wasa clear, able, and carefully-prepared presentation of the arguments on his side of this great question. North Carolina has a first-rate delegation in Congress, and among them there is no better member than Mr. Rob- . Kelley will speak to-morrow coh z a and Mr. Garfield will fellow bim in opposition to it. The . the seventh district of North Carolina, in the House of Representatives last week, on the Wood tariff bill, has attracted very considerable attention. That it was a forcible and argumentative effort in favor of the reduction of the tobacco tax, is unanimously conceded. _—_~ ao The Statesville Landmark talks about the Congressional question in this District as if “ speaking by the book.” or from some well settled me. It tells us how the counties will yote, how the ballots in Dis- trict Convention are likely to fall, and thinks it not improbable that “the dark horse” will finally win the steaks. Among other things it says Rowan will cast her vote for Mf. Sho- ber; and just here we begin to doubt the prophetic utterances of our neighbor. - Cer- tainly from our stand point it don't leok so to us; but on the contrary that Maj. Rob- bins is yet the favorite of the people of this County. His successful career as a Congress- man has confirmed his friends as to his fit- ness for the place. We think it hardly probable that any “ dark horse” stands much chance. Never- theless, if it should turn out that new and hitherto unnamed men shall be brought for- ward in the District Convention, the Rowan delegation will most likely enter our cher- ished & rising fellow citizen, Kerr Craicr, Esq., than whom Rowan has none it would more délight her citizens to honor by en- trusting to his hands the highest interests to be delegated. eee A correspondent writing from Amity Hill, over the signature of “many citizens,” without giving a responsible name, does not, of course, expect ns to publish.

They will work. on the plan of dividing the Conservatives by bringing out independent candidates. The ticket published iu this paper comprising the names of David Barringer and Wm. H. Crawford, is believed to be of this character. Mr. Barringer, it will be seen, suspects it, and when convinced of its true character, ashe must pretty soon be, will no doubt denounce it as it deserves. Our repeatedly honored fellow citizen, Wm. I. Crawford is also too wise a man to permit his name to be used when it is likely to damage the eanse for which he has fought so many successful battles. A few days more will settle these matters in Rowan, and all similiar ones elsewhere, we trust. ——E WASHINGTON. CONGRESS—TUCKER AND ROBBINS MAKES ABLE AND ELOQUENT SPEECIIES IN FA- VOR OF REVENUSB REFORM—CORRECTION, ETC. (From the Raleigh Observer.) Wepwespay, May 8th, 1873.—Monday’s “special” to THE OnservER reports Mr. Scales as expressing the opivion that the vote on the bill redncing the tax on to- bacco wasa fair test vote and that the passage of the bill was certain. In this there is error. He regards the passage of the bill doubtful. Mr. Steele entertains like deubts. Senator Merrimon has se- rious doubts about the Senate. Senator Ransom on the contrary thinks the bill ean be pulled through the Senate. Your readers are entitled to these conflicting views, and I therefore give them as the most reliable intelligence accessible, Consideration of the tariff Lill was re- sumed to-day. Mr. Bobbins followed Randolph Tucker in a masterly speech. He said: THE PUBLIC DEBT was sacred and should be honestly and faithfully paid. Our honor 43 a people binds us all irrevocably to pay it. When it should be paid was another question. It ought not to be paid by the present generation. The sacrifices and losses en- tailed by the late war demand that the country should fully reeuperate before this debt is paid. Its liquidation should be deferred to a more auspicious time. The country is rapidly developing and if no direful calamity befalls ic it will soon become the most prosperous country in the world. A burden which would ernsh us now would be a trifle then. The rate at which the public debt is being paid is ruinous in our present impoverished cir- eumstances. Since July Ist, 1866, more than $559,000,000 of the principal of the debt, or more than one fourth of the whole of it has been paid. This is unwise finan- cering. The world has faith in our sol- vency. Money lenders are willing to take our bonds at a low rate of interest. Why then grind the people with taxation to pay the debt now? Why continue to im- pore a tax to maintain the sinking fund ? It is suicidal. Revenue should be raised for only two purposes, for current expen- ses and the payment of the interest on the public debt. The current expenses of the government for the last fiseal year were $140,000,000, the interest on the pablic debt amounts to $93,000,000 —total reve- nue needed $233,000,000, For the fiscal year ending June, 1877, the net ordinary receipts of the goverument were $269, - 000,000. He quoted from official data to show that the receipts of the government, even under so ill-adjusted a revenue, are at their minimum, and demonstrated be- yond question that we have an annual revenue many millions in excess of the real needs of the government, and that this revenue is growing gradually and is destined to grow tou greater excess un- der wise legislation. The corollary to this is, he said, that a reduction of taxes is our bounden duty. A STUPENDOUS INIQUITY. “Words are inadequate, he said, to de- pict the stupendous iniquity of the exist- ing system of protective duties. Let doc- trinariana disguise it how they will so- ealied> protective tariff is nothing but legalized «robbery, it wrings from the great masses their hard earnings and fill therewith the coffers of the pampered few.” Has the House duly pondered the startling fact disclosed by the pending tariff bill that over one thousand articles onwhich high duties are now levied do not yield to the Treasury an aggregate annual revenue exceeding one-third of a million dol- lars. The effect is to give the manatfac- he a way for him. ¥ & 4 i 2s or, Ee * Fee i Oe: c Wee e > . Is a 3 Nitec aa tes ot : bcd oer, a ing majority of the people, and yet h ly a dollar of this sam finds ite way into the Treasury, but goes into those who are rich ed people, he suid, have been deceived by ingenious sophisms on this subject. But these are becoming enlightened and whea they come to apprehend fully the great outrage they suffer under this unjast sys- tem of legislation they will put an end to it at all coats,even at the hazard of dis- rnpting parties and revoltionizing poli- tics, if necessary. The pending bill was not all that he wanted. He believed in a turiff for revenae only. He pointed out the several excelleut features of the bill, and the advantages it possessed over any previous legislation in the same direction. TUE TOBACCO TAX. Ways and Means, reducing the tax on to- bacco to sixteen cents, was not loW enough. He was the first to intredace a bill at the very earliest day of the extra session, re- ducing the tax to twelve cents on the pound. ‘He believed it was right then and believes it is right now. The agita- tion of the question had cansed greM dis- turbance and very considerable luss to the tobacco trade. He had been held re- sponsible for this agitation, He relied on upon their fellow citizens. The oppress- | ac The bill reported by the Committee of ee of " ; ha oy resin alton the shéep-raisers of Ohio and Vermont, the hemp-growers of Kentucky and Mis- souri, the -planters of Louisiana— all these | had the boon of protection extended to ee es ee there- bling, Oh ‘alte of their prodnets . age bot depart iat fruit that grows in her,orcharda, you tax the grain that waves.on the hillsides, you have taxed her cotton; and you have tax- from a huudred te a thousand per cent. the good sense of his constituents, who well knew his zeal and singleness of purpose in bebalf of their interests, for his com- plete vindication. While the tobacco tax rewains as high as it is now agitation for its rednetion cannot be restrained. It is the exorbitance of the tax that produces the agitation, irrespective of the action of Congress or any individual member of that body. The demand for reduction comes from the people—from the producers. No industry, iv this country, can long survive such a barden of taxation as ia now laid upon the tobacco interest. Seeing this agitation impending at the opening of Congress, and knowing that the question would be opened, no matter what course he might pursac, he introduced a bill promptly to reduce the tax, and since that time he had earnestly and: anxiously labored to procure its early and favorable adjustment. He here earnestly argned the expediency of a reduction. Statistics abundantly showed, he said, what com- mon sense and a knowledge of the laws of trade enabled everybody to foresee, that by lowering the tax and thus lightening the burdeus on the tobacco business there has been and will be a large increase in the aggregate of that business. As to the feasibility of reduction he showed that by the present tariff (assaming that the pend- ing bill would not become a law) will prodace next year $133,009,000; that the Internal Revenue taxes will yield $120, - 000,000. The proposed redaction on to- bacco will reduee the lafter amount 36,- 000,000. This leaves $247,000,000 as the receipts for next year—$13,000,000 more than is needed for current expenses and interest. ‘The income tax will yield $10,- 000,000 more, should that bill becomé a law. ‘Ten millions more will be realized by the passage of the present tariff bill. From whatever point of view, therefore, the justice, the practicability and the pro- priety of reducing the tobacco tax seems clear and indisputable. WHY NORTIU CAROLINA 13 POOR. Deprecating the bitter and relentless spirit of the opposition to the tariff bill, he suid: ‘‘Will these daughters of the horse-leech forever ery, ‘Give, give ? Will those great and wealthy comimnanitics who, under the existing system, have so long thrived by coutributions from their less prosperous brethren never be satisfied to mitigate the burdens which they impose npon the rest of us?) Look at Massachu- setts and Pennsy!vania, for instanee, with their teeming millions of popalation and their billions of wealth. Their valleys bloom like the rose, and their hill tops are white with the beautiful cottages and vinetrellised homes of happy and thrifty citizens. True, underthe shadow of the vast piles of wealth which corporations and “monopolies have there heaped up, we have heard the murmurs of discontent from the toiling masses. But, neverthe- less, those States are rich and fortanate. On the other hand, look at my own im- poverished State of North Carolina, with a soil, climate, and natural resources sur- passed by none. ‘The sun kisses her fair er. Nor was any region ever oceupied by & more noble, brave, sober, steady, or naturally industrious population. The gentleman from Now York (Mr. Towu- send) paid them the just compliment the other lay of saying they were now at work, doing their duty, and attending to their own business. Let mo thank that gentleman for his kind and appreciative remark, and also tell him that North Carolinians have always been so—a peo- ple of the manliest type, of the best habits, and no nonesense. Yet they are_politi- eally poor. Superficial observers have attributed their slow material growth to their own want of genius and energy. Sir, have they shown any lack of these qualities in other respects No people have shown a higher genius for govern-| ment. No state has ever had wiser laws or better rules. And in the late conflict of arma, by the judgment of all her sis— ters, no State exhibited & greater capacity for warlike organization, a sterner per- sistance, or a more titanic energy. Out ofa white male population of only 314,- 000 of all ages, she sent considerably over 100,000 soldiers to the field, aboat ove in three of all her white males. What State or nation ever beat that? And what soldiers 2. ; ; State ever furnished. better turers of ‘these home products exelusive | In the final hour at Appomattox, as her cheek with the warmth of a youthful Tov- | her tobaceo, which would: be one of her chief money creps.

(-—— A Portable House.-—A man in Davie County leased a tract of land from a land holder, for three years, There being no house on the place, the lessee obtained permission to use a house on an adjoining tract. The land owner became tired of his tenant and in order te get clear of him, refused the use of the house and also told him that if he built on the place he should not move the building. The Jessee built a chimney—a rough one—and then con- atructed on truck wheels, a house 18x20, and rolled it against the chimuey.- He says that when the lease is out he will roll the house off just as he would his wagon, or other portable property. This is decid- edly a smart trick. -_— — For ras WaTcuman. I desire to advert briefly to Mr. Potts’ card in the Watchman of May 2d. The au- thor was doubtless thankful of an opportu- tunity to tell that his friend, Mr. Armfield, was raised a Baptist. And yet th::u'e he inferentially lays down, to wit: a man’s Saith should' work him no harm asa politi- cal aspirant, is incomplete without the co- relative proposition—it should work him no advantage. But in order to equulize the attitude of aspirants In respect to faith as nearly as it is ible for a public declaration to do it, it is proper to say that Hon Wm. M. Rob- bins is'‘a Methodist ; and as the writer be- lieves, in good and regular standing. _ The Episcopalian, Luthern, and Presbyte- Jian voters in the District, may be said to be out of sympathy with either of these aspi- rants so far as religious faith is concerned. Their differences though in some respects marked, do not antagonize them on principles involving thcir religious, social and political existence. Any one who would pretend to compare these differences with that which would arise on the supposition that either of these aspirants was a Roman Catholic, ignores all the solemn warnings of church history for the last fourteen hun- dred years, and the glaring fact that the constitution and teachings of that power is at war with civil and religious liberty. He may be a liberal man indeed who: scoffs at the idea that a man’s faith should have no weight for or against him. He would have no objection to any thing however heathenish or monstrous!

My name has been brought forward among othera, as a candidate to represent you in the next session of the Legislature. suggestion of my humble self, If voters see proper to give the nomination I will ac- cept, and if elected will serve them to the best of my ability. I shall use no strene- ous efforts to secure the nomination, by scheming or wire-working, s0 common among the politicians of the day. This scheming and wire-working for positions of honor and trust within the gift of the people is, and always has been very re- pugnant tome. Having been a farmer, I think I know what will be to the inter- est of the farmers. For his unflinching conrage as a soldier, for his “iron firm- ness” as Governor during the war, for his unwavering faithfulness to hia party since the war, I shall favor Gov. Vance for the U.S. Senate. If, therefore, the people of Rowan think that the energy which an all-wise Providence has given me can be of service to them I shall cheerfully re- spond to their call. Your obedient servant, FRANK BROWN. —_— ~~ A CARD. To the People of Rowan. I h.reby announce myself a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Kowan, at the election in August next, subject to the decision of the County Convention. I am a believer in the sound old doctrine which was enunciated and acted upun by Washington and the founders of the Republic, that there should be frequent rotation in office. It is one of the great fundamental principles of all free Kepublican governments, that the rulers, the office-holders, should be frequently taken from the ranks cf the people. Asa general rule this principle is acted upon, and Presidents, Governors, Congressmen, Legislators and the like, are frequently chang- ed. And why should the one office of Sheritf be made an exception to this rule? Does it require more ability or integrity to fill this office than all those? Or ia it true that there is but one man in the county, in a generation of men, who is competent to fill the position? Tosay this, is to inanlt the intelli- gence and the integrity of every good man in the county. As I do not expect to descend to personali- tier, | shall ~ nothing ofthe present incum- bent. I will however,do him the justice to aay, that in the main he has filled the office creditably, but is that any reason why he should hold it for life? Two years ago he said to the people, “elect me this time, and I shall not want the any longer.” How is he fulfilling this solemn pledge now? Dues he deny it? Let him do so if he can. I desire to ask him this question :— Does he intend to abide the decision of the township and county nominating conventions ? For myself, I can only say, that if elected, I shall he content to discharge the duties of the office for not longer then two terms, and then give way for some one else. Very reapectfully, THEO. F.

In order to obtain good plants, espe- cially those for the vegetable garden, it is absolutely essential to raise them from eeod, for those offered for sale iu the mar- kets are grown for sale and are neither healthy nor robust. If, however, there are no facilities for seed propagation and the purchase of plants becomes unavoid- able, the following instructions will be found valuable : TRANSPLANTING. The object of transplanting is to check the growth of the foliage and promote that of the root, and this is best done while the plants are young, so that, when they are finally planted out, there will be sufficient root to support a vigerous upper growth. As soon as the plants are well abuve the surface of the soil they should be thinned out: that is, the weaker ones shonld be removed, so that those Jeft may have free access to the air and not be crowded. In thinning out, leave the shortest and strongest plants, keeping ‘them-as nearly as possible an equal dis- tance apart and with a small space be- tween the leaves of one plant and those of the next. As soon as the plants have six visible leaves the first transplanting (called the pricking out) should be per- formed. First the seed bed should be watered, and about an hour afterwards the plants should be removed to another bed, prepared of rich, light soil. In re- moving the plants from the old bed it is of great consequence to preserve the root- lets, and to this end a three or four pronged fork should be employed, lifting the plants gently and handling them care- fully, planting them nearly up te the leaves in the new bed, placing them three er four ipches apart, and pressing the earth very lightly about them, and finally lightly sprinkling them with water. The bed in which they are transplanted should be dry, and if out of doors just before'a shower of rain is the best time, Planta that have been thus trans- planted not only grow to greater perfec- tion, but are niore hardy and will stand a protracted drought much “better.—Scien- tifle American, _—-o- LIVING CHEAP. Dr. Dio Lewis asaures the workingmon of San Francisco that they can reduce their living expenses to very low figures. He contends that for a sum so ridiculously amali that he does not dare to mention it, better living can be had than can be found at any hotel, so far as perfect digestion, eweet breath, health, strength and endu- ance are concerned. He went into a first- class market the other day, and pointing “aoa “What is that worth = pound 1” “Two cents,” was the reply. He pointed to the corresponding part of « sheep. ‘One cent,” was the anawer. One pound of either piece stewed with a few: bits or slices of bread, with a pinch of some of the flavoring herbs, would make = capital dinner fur two men. Of course, the workingmen ask if Dr. Lewis ever lived in that way? His answer is that he has lived in a city whose food material coete more than it docs there, and he lived us well as be ever did at a hotel, on 50 to 55 conts a week, and indulged in not a little variety at that. With these figures oa his the medical student who pro- tes that he can board himself in New , 20 cents a day, is convicted of extravagance and riotous living. a ? ?t eid g*.* to the breaking point, First one strand, then another, gives way, and still the ca- ble bolda, and it may happen that it will hold long enough to save the ship. that experiment has proved that a steel- that it is three times as strong, and does fot cost more, the change from one to the other may be made with confidence. An- other advantage is the lightness, for by making use of steel, about two-thirds of the usual weight of the cable is got rid of. Evidence of the strength is seen in the facet that a three-inch steel hawser did not break until the strain exceeded twenty- two tons, and that a strain of more than a hundred tons was requived to break the six-inch. ——_ -~—+>o— —_—_—— LET GIRLS LEARN.

W. Wadsworth had employed to clean out the well on his livery stable lot was engaged in the work, he found far down under the water not lesa than sev- enty copper coins, of almost every imagi- nable variety or various denominations. Yesterday a colored man was again clean- ing out the same well when, near the bottom, but concealed in a crevice between the rocks, he found about thirty copper coins and medals, of different ages and representing many different nations, Of the medals one is nearly a half inch thick and another of about the thickness of three ordinary copper cent pieces. The thicker has upon it characters connecting it with the vice-consul of Norway and Sweden, at Charleston. How these coins got in the well is the thing which “no fellow can find out.” There being found together and not scat- tered about in the well, would seem to give ground for the belief that they were concealed there for safe keeping, but by whom, is another question, and why he has never taken them out, is still another. They must have been put there during the war. They are an interesting col- lection, aud their history, so far as known, is an interesting one.—Charlotte Observer. —e- Mr. Horsfall, the celebrated English dairy authority, feeds his herds as ful- lows: Each cow receives nine pounds of hay, six pounds of rape-cake, one pound each of malt combings and bran, with twenty-eight pounds of roots or cabbage. The food (except roots and hay) is given In addition to this food, a cow in full milk receives two pounds of bean meal daily, and cows not in full milking order smaller quantities of this article. +o Competition is the life of trade; but ad- vertising ia the life of competition. “What is money?” asks an exchange. “Money is the missing link between sev- eral hundred of our subscribers and the editor.” Three vines of 1s many different varic- ties, planted in some sunny nook or by the side of some building so as to obtain shelter, will, if properly cared for, farnish many & bushel of delicious grapes every year.

[From the New York Times.) The leading physician of Clinton, Til., js happy im the possession of a wife of extraordinary merit. She cares nothing for the frivolities of the world, and gives her whole energies to works of benevo- Jence. While she is an earnest advocate of various reforms, she does not agree with most professional female reformers jn believing that reform and ugliness are one and inseparable. She loves the Beau- tiful as well as the Good and True, and does not countenance any scheme of re* form that would make life coarse and ug- jy. Just at present she is especially in- terested in popularly known as she wi D ft admits that it is one of the chief duties of woman to be beautifal, and hence she at- terly abhors all schemes of dress reform that would substitute trousers for the flowing garments which she considers Da- ture designed women to wear. Altogether, she may be regarded as the ideal type of a female reformer, and she is universally recognized as such by all who knew her. One day her husband said to her, “My dear, why don’t you invent a new mater- jal for women’s clothing which will super- cede such a clumsy and costly fabric as cloth? Fig leaves, of course, won't do, at least in our climate ; but surely some- thing can be foand that is better than cloth.” This suggestion greatly pleased the good woman, and she promptly began to investigate the various mate! ials which might by any possibility be converted decorative art. While wl ‘wei ro . 1 -= ad Be into clothing. The result of her investigation was to convice her that what her sex really want- ed was paper. She found that a single thickness of ordinary newspapet is much warmer than cotton or even wool, and scores of her female friends told her that they had actually suffered, even in mod- erately warm weather, from wearing three or four closely folded copies of the Tri- bune. She also found that paper was ex- tremely cheap, and that there were cer- tain kinds of paper which were soft, plia- ble, and reasonably strong. She estima- ted that she could make herself an entire suit of clothes, exclusive of shoes, stock- ings, and gloves, out of paper, at a cost of $1.17, and she could decorate the outer garmeuts with water-colors, 80 that they would be fur more beantiful than the fin- est patterns of silk. There remained the solitary objection that paper skirts were readily combustible, but she knew that by treating them with certain chemical preparations, absolute safety against fire could be secured. With her usual energy she at once ob- tained her materials, and made and deco- rated a full assortment of paper garments- The lower or primary strata were com- posed of soft white unglazed paper, what might be called, in view of their position, the mesozoic shirts were made of thick brown paper, while the tertiary skirts were white and light. The outside dress was of a pure white material, but it was covered with designs in water-colors. The front breadth contained a represen- tation of the Washington Monument as originally designed, surrounded by flow- ers and leaves of the most exquisite tints, while the rear breadths were ornamented with landscapes in which the wild scenery of the western backwoods was accurately represented. The dress being designed for evening wear, was cut lowin the neck, and rigged with Pompadour sleeves and ornamented with guasets®n echelon. The short sleeves were reinforced with under- sleeves of tinted tissue paper, beautifully scalloped, and a belt made of a dozen yards of wall-paper bordering encircled the wearer’s waist. Nota stitch of thread or a single button, hook or pin was used in these unique garments, and they were put together exclusively with macilage. The good physician assisted his wife to dress, and found fault with this system of fastening, since, as he pointed out, he would be compelled to steam her before she could remove a single garment. She, however, explained that her use of muaci- lage was merely temporary, and that she should ultimately devise a method of adapting buttons to paper. The new paper costume was to be in- troduced to the public at a party to be given by the physician and his wife. That party was given last Tuesday night, and will be memorable in the annals of Clin- ton. The guests were filled with admira- tion of the paper dress, and when the wearer made a brief speech, explaining its merits and proving its superiority in all respects to cotton, silk, or wool, it was conceded that her arguments were unan- swerable. Whether the dress would have stood the test of waltzing in a crowded room is not certain, for as the physician was a deacon in the local Baptist Society, waltzing was not allowed in his house. The wearer managed it with care, and it was not once torn throughout the whole evening. About 10 o’clock a waiter bearing a large soup-tureen full of lemonade, aud followed by another waiter with glasses and other aids to refreshment, entered the room and approached a table placed inacorner. The physician’s wife hap- pened to be seated on an ottoman engag- ed in conversation with a bashful young theological student, and the waiters were dress reform, and in what is | very near compelled to pass r. .Why | the one who carried the ade stam- | wrote : I swell the bk d will probably never be known. That he did stumble, and emptied six gallons of lemonade upon the lap and ' shoulders of the hostess, is unfortanately true. Of course, the lady shrieked, and | springing to her fect prepared to withdraw from the room in order to repair damages. Those who were present say that the pa- per melted like snow on an ' griddle. Before she had taken a dozen | steps the paper garments began to fall jn | pieces. The scene that followed was frightful. Strong men put their hand- | kerchiefs to their mouths to suppress thelr peries, and shook with terror. The bash- fal theological student fainted, and had Se oe | thie action of water would have ‘reached ‘cannot be thought of without the most ' painful emotions. Of course, it was not ‘necessary for the physician to steam his unhappy wife that evening, bat this was but a slight consolation to him, and was insufficient to prevent him from denoune- ing paper garments in language which was probably scientific, buat which will hardly bear reproduction. — THE TROUBLES OF A POET. While Colonel Bangs, editor of the Ar- gus, was sitting in his office one day, a man, whose brow was clothed in thunder, entered. Fiercely seizing a chair, he slammed his hat on the table, harled his umbrella on the floor, and sat down. “Are you the editor ?” he asked. “Yes.” “Can you read writing ?” “Of course.” ‘Read that then,” he said, thrusting at the Colonel an envelope with an inscrip- tion on it. ‘‘B—” said the Colonel, trying to spell | it. “That's not a B. man. It’s an S,” said the a little like ‘Salt for Dinner,’ or ‘Souls of Sinners,’ ” said the Colonel. “No, sir,” replied the man, “nothing of the kind! That’s my name, Samuel H. Brunner. I knew you couldu’t read. I called to see you about that poem of mine you printed the other day, on the ‘Sur- cease of Sorrow.’ ” “Of course you dun’t, because it went into the paper under the tifle of ‘Smear- case To-morrow.” ‘A stupid blunder of the compositor’s I suppose.” ‘Yes, sir; and that’s what [ want to see you about. The way in which that poem was mutilated was simply scandalous. I havnt slept a night since. It exposed me to derision. People think I am an ass. Let me show you.” “Go ahead,” said the Colonel. “The first line, when 1 wrote it, read in this way: Lying by a weeping willow, underneath a gen- tle slupe. “That is beantiful, poetic, affecting. Now, how did your vile sheet present it to the public? There it is. Look at that! Made it read this way :” Lying to a weeping widow to induce her to elope. z “Weoping widow, mind you! A widow! O thunder and lightning! This is too much! It’s enough to drive a man crazy !” “Tm sorry,” said the Colonel; ‘bat—” “But look a-here at the fourth verse,” said the poet. That’s worse yet. What I said was: Cast thy pearls before the swine and lose them in the-dirt. “T wrote that out clearly and distinetly, in a plain, round hand. Now what does your compositor do? Does he catch the sense of that beautiful sentiment? Does it sink into his soul? No, sir! He sets it up in this fashion. Listen: Cart my pills before the sunrise and love them if they hurt. “Now, isu’t that a cold-blooded outrage on a man’s feelings? I'll leave it to you if it isn’t hard ?” ‘“Tt’s hard, that’s a fact,” said the Colo- nel. “And then take the fifth verse. In the original manuscript, it said, plain as day- light : ° Take away the jingling money, it is only glit- tering dross, “A man with only one eye, and a cata- ract over that, could have read the words correctly. But your pirate, up stairs there—do you know what he did? He made it read— Take away thy jeering monkeys on a sorely glandered hoss. “By George, I felt like braining him with a tire-shovel! I was never so cut up in my life.” “It was natural, too,” said the Colonel. “There, for instance, was the sixth verse, I wrote, I am weary of the tossing of the ocean aa it heaves. “It’s a lovely line, too; but imagine my horror, and the anguish of my family, when I opened your paper and saw the line transformed into: Iam wearing out my trowsers till they’re open at the knees. “That's a little too much! That seems to me like carrying the thing an inch or two too far. I thinkI have a constitu- tional right to murder that compositor; don’t you ?” “T think you have.” “S; oh, yes; I see!

LADIES AND SPRING FEVER. HOW NOT TO HAVE IT, More reliable harbingers of spring-time than the prophetic swallow, or ardent ' sunbeams that move the housetops drift from sheltered corners to drip along the eaves at noontide are those inner mur- murings and agitations not, alas! of as- piring soul. The hampered body which has been coddled, petted, stuffed with carbon-bearing fats and colorified in every ‘possible way, begins to protest. The | machinery is clogged; headache, dyspepsia and the thousand nameless sensations of discomfort which we charge to variable weather afflict and hamper poor hamani- ty. How many people say “I always have a Lillious attack in the spring; expect it as a regular thing, you know !” as though that were sufficient raison detre. A little resolution, a few dietary precautions, would neatralize this tendency to which men yield with the pasivity of optimists. Primarily we sin by our indulgence at table. The habit of hearty meals, which | were demanded by rigors just past, is un- consciously indulged beyond the necessity 'ofthem. A dearth of vegetables forces the appetite to satisfy itself with excess of meats, and the housewife is fain with spices and richness to beguile the palate till tender greens come to supplement her meagre larder. This then is the hour of danger; when the body, swathed «till of necessity iv winter flannels and heavy garmeute, eliminating impurities and over stimala- ted vitality through the pores, is forced mild enervating days exert their prostra- ting influence and many seeds of disease germinate all too rapidly under these favoring conditions. Not for lack of warning must we die ! But in our own houscholds we have all efficacious. First let us assist nature in her own processes: On retiring, remove all the clothing worn during the day, imperatively that next the skin; which is surcharged with the impurities given off in insensible perspiration. This garment should be thoroughly ventilated before its resumption, If you are sensitive to temperatare, snb- stitute a loose vestment of woolen tex- ture. Most people, however, will not suffer in wearing simply the usaal night- robe, especially as bed-coverings are still heavy for the higher temperature. On rising, sponge the body lightly and quickly with cold water, briskly toweling after. It is not necessary that this be a long or laborious operation, the more rap- idly the better, with sufficient friction to bring a glow to the skin. If you cannot secure time to go over the whole bodily surface at least make it a point to daily sponge the trunk andarms. Rousing and stimulating the whole system, clearing aud opening the pores, it imparts an in- describable freshness and exhiliration amply repaying the effort. Rehabiliated, ters: ¢. e., the clear juice of a fresh lewon in a wine glass of water without sugar. This is a bomb straight at the enemy, for a more*potent solvent of bile is not in the materia medica. Searching out rheu- matic tendency, attacking those insidious foes which are storing up anguish against our later days—calculi—it prevades the system like a fine moral sense, rectifying incipient error. It is needfal perhaps to begin with two lemons daily, the second at night just before retiring. A primitive bat most efficacions pre- scription which corrected the physical re- action after a pork-eating winter for our ancestors was a wiue-glass full of very “hard cider,” made effervescent by a crumb of sal soda. More potent and pal- atable the “concentric force” of the pure lemon acid. e We venture to claim for this self-treat- ment alone, faithfully applied, more relief four the body and stimulants to the mind than from a battery of pills, or quarts of herb decoction. Eat lightly of relishing, nourishing food. Not. the least significant of Jefferson's sterling ‘““Ten Rules” is the sixth: “We seldom repent of having eaten too little,” above all with the inertia of early spring upon us. Take short brisk walks in the bright sunshine whenever possible. Resolution in the initiation, pertinacity in the suc- ceeding stages of this antibiliary crusade, will be shortly rewarded by enjoyment “Gibberish, sir! Awful gibberish.

Ove handred acres are in grass and elover—bigh clover and grass so thick upon the ground that it is softer to the footstep than any Brussels carpet. Twenty acres of the land is in cotton, which is now well up ; Mr. Wads- worth’s stand of cotton was never better at this season of the year. There are five acres in grapes—3,000 vines, well trained@—and the young orchard, we guess, is the best. in Mecklenburg, em- bracing all the fruits grown iu this sec- tion. The garden is up to the best house- wife’s standard, and the land “not ac- counted for” is in clover, wheat, oats and rye. These are glorious wheat fields. A lot of Fultz wheat, sowed last October, stands six feet high, as thiek as hops, and promises thirty bushels to the acre. It nods gracefully enough in the breezes, and the heaviness of the heads is suggestive of fertile soil and a land of plenty. The oats is in fall head and mach of the corn well out of the ground. These crops tes- tify to the tho@ugh preparation of the soil, and the fresh, green cotton and corn just peering from the earth, as the velvety grasses and the fields of beautiful, wav- ing grain, testify uo less eloquently how well the carth has answered to the de- mands made upon her. But these are not the things which con- stitute this a model farm. In a pastare of orchard grass, just on the banks of the creek, you see eight or ten thorough-bred ' ‘calves and yearlings keeping company | with a half dozen colts of different ages, ‘all leisurely grazing aud evidently enjoy- The colts are the shapely child- ren of the shapely Abddl-Koree, and promise todo honor to their illustrious | ancestry.

Upon the high, cool eminence from which is had a beautiful view of Charlotte over a green and pleasant-looking valley, stands a pump which yieldg water perceptibly im- ' preguated with iron aud sulphor. This ‘is no new discovery, and while neither ‘ of the minerals is very strong, their pres- ence in the water is unmistakable and well-established, aud this adds another attractive place.

Much has been left unsaid, and what has been omitted wust be em- braced under the general-remark that the whole place exhibits intelligence in its management and pains-takihg ¢are in its conduct. There is no spot aronnd Char- lotte where an afternoon can be spent more delightfally, and certainly there is no place calculated to give a stranger a better opinion of our community and sec- tion.

Mr. Cooper is quite a stont and healthy man for his age—he was 8&7 years old on the 12th of last February. He didn’t talk much of his plaus in reference to the school at Limestone Springs, bat was dis- posed to discuss farming. He said he was gving to have an experiment in farming tried on his new place. “Abont thirty years ago,” continued he, ‘‘a seedy looking man came into my office and offered to sell ne a great secret $30. He was 80 persistent and his condition was so piti- ful that I finally concluded to buy it. I paid the money and he told me the se- cret.” Mt. Cooper then proceeded to relate that it was a process of treating seed corn which would double its productive pow- er. The corn should be covered with glue and rolled successively in lime, guano, &ec., and planted with the accumulation thus gathered around it. ‘I gave the recipe,” continued he, ‘‘toa man in New York State, and he reported that the yield of the corn so treated was double that of corn planted in the usual way. I have a barrelof-glue with me and intend to try the cxperiment.”—Charlotte Observer. a FARMING OUT PRISONERS. Judge McKoy on this circuit has liber- ally availed himself of the powers con- ferced by the law of 1874~’5, amendatory to Section 17 of Chapter 89 of Battle’s Revisal in regard to hiring out persons convicted of criminal offences by any of the Courts of the State. The law as ori- ginally in force, applied only to “con- victs,” but by an amendment offered by Mr. Parish, Senator from Orange, at the session of 18745 and passed into a law, the powers of the Court were so enlarged as to embrace not only all persons con- victed of any criminal offence, but all de- fendants who may be made liable for the costs of a prosecution ; and the Board of County Commissioners are charged with the duty of making contracts for the safe keeping of such criminals and securing to the county the costs of such criminals or defendants. The operation of the present law is three fold; it provides appropriate pun- ishment for parties guilty of the minor grades of crime; it secures the county against the costs of such suits and the maintenance of idle crime in jail ; and it is made a source of revenue to county, by which the aggregate of taxation is dimin- ished. In carrying out the purposes of the law the Commissiovers should see to it that all these purposes are conserved ; and that is effected by rigid serutiny into the hands with whom they enter into contracts. The guarantees for the security of the priso- ners and the payment of the amounts for which they are hired must be of the most ample kind. There must be no child’s play about it. Crime will lose all terrors if criminals are to be put out to a mere nominal bervitude ; and if the hirer be an irresponsible party, the county loses not only its costs but its expected revenue 4 also. | . We merely make the suggestion, be- tice ia a new one; but as it orig waceha to be largely followed, and if faithfully conducted, calculated to relieve the county of one of its heaviest burdens by the decrease of prison charges, we wish to see the system judiciously be- guu.—Hillsboro Recorder. i SO ee Richard Adams was shot in the leg, on Tuesday or Wednesday of last week, by Sam Saylor.

The platform generally enanci- ates the principles adopted in the Nation- al Convention in Toledo in February last. They declare that the government should furnish aid to families desirous of settling upon public lands. They favor rigid economy in the administration of public affairs; demand the eight hour system of labor; the abolition of the prison contract system of labor; a graduated system of in- come tax; equal, civil and political rights for women; and paper money or green- backs based not alone on the two metals _-silver and gold—bat upon the entire wealth, and the integrity of the nation should be assured in sufficient quantities to revive our prostrate industries. LaTer.—The National Convention was somewhat turbulent to-day. A resolution that the Convention con- dcmn any lawlessness or violence, was adopted. Also the platform read this morning, with a few amendments, which briefly summarized that the party advocates a high protective tariff and a moderate re- form in the hours of labor, to be regula- ted by wise, legislative opposition to dis- criminating monopolies in the carrying of trade, and the substitution of the nation’s money for that of bank notes. It demands the unconstitutional repeal of the resump- tion act, the recognition by Congress of efforts at internal improvements, and the encouragement of ship building aud ocean- ic transportation. It disavows the coun- renance of lawlessness and violence, and advoeates the maintenance of the princi- ples of the party by the judicious use of the ballot box; it changes th@name of the party from: that of the “National Labor Party,” to “Natidnal Greenback Labor Party.” ——— ei eae Cut worms are destroying the growing cropsin the Sandy Rum Section ata fearful rate.

It is trae Mr, G. A. Bingham was declared the nomjnee on the third ballot; but all sorts and avy number of objections have been urged to it, so that really, it fails to give general satisfaction, It is denoupeed, aa will be secon, by Mr, Kluttz, in a communication in this paper; and it is disregarded, as will be seen by annoancement frem Mr, Waggoner, who proposes to carry his ap- peal to the ballot box for fina} decisivn, We really apprehend no serious conse- quenees as likely to result from this dis- play of heated partizan seal. It is limit- ed entirely to the contest over the office of Sheriff, and while it may have produc- ed gome bitterness between the friends of the several candidates for that office, Dewocrats and Conservatives remain the ssme, They cannot afford to sacrifice their political principles on a difference between themselves over the pitiful effice which disturbed the order of the meeting. The contestants themselves are all good men, zealous conservatives, any oue of whom would make a good Sheriff; and we believe there is pot ove of them who will not promptly relieve the situation so far as he is personally concerned, the moment that he preceives that Lis position is like- ly to jeopardize any important interest of the party. The few members of the Radical party among us find it impossible to repress the joy they experience at what they are please to regard us a destructive explo- sion of the Democratic party, A 2d or 3d Lt. of the party (for the present nameless), has worn a perfeeet suu-flower smile— an east and wester—ever since last Sutarday eveniug—the happiest man of his age and size in the State.

He would like to be Sheriff himself, and thinks now he sees an open gap large enough to slip through aud carry off the prize, and hence his face is more radiant with smiles than an ac- cepted lover’s was ever known to be. Alas! alas! how easy it is for eager men to deceive themselves. He won’t—he can’t-~see the difficulties in the road to his saceess; but when he gets a big thump from the people on his smiliag mug, be will realize in a substantial way that the Conservative flare up didn’t help him worth a cent, Since the above was in type we have received the following report from the secretaries, of the proceedings of the County Convention ; The Democratic County Convention assembled at the Court House, May 15, 1878.

F. B. Suoasy, Chairman. Kuap Cnasae, . J. W, Maunay, Secretaries, We have heard it stated by numerous persons that the several townships were not present by their delegates when the above couumittee was appointed. If this be so, it throws upon that committee a weight of responsibility above what, un- der other circumstances, it would have. Jt rests upon them, virtually, to cast the vetg of Rowan for Judge, Solicitor, and Congreasman, Messrs. Shober, Kerr and Blackmer constitute that committee. ‘They have no plaiv expreasion of the people to guide thew in the selection of delegates to represent the county in the District and Senatorial Capyeptions, byt will have to aot with the beat lights before them. It is a plain case iv respect to Congressman and District Senator, But as to Judge aud Solicitor there bus heen no sych open expression of cboice as will afford the eommittee a reasonable opinion as to the wishes of the people, We trust this committee will be able to the high truat assigned it with sach a careful regard to the public senti- agentof the county as will enaure satiafac- tion. Lt bas the political fate of the county ip its hands, at least for the present, * = ter promptly, June ist, It will relieve the committee, Messrs. Shober, Blackmer and Kerr, of a responsibility they cannot be anxious to shoulder. $A A Sulisbury eorrespondent of the Ral- eigh Odserrer, iu reporting the proceedings of the Rowan Convention of Satarday, 13th, speaking of the nomination for the office of Sheriff says—“While there may be individuals who feel disappointed and who may threateu to bolt, yet it is certain that the action of the conveution secures the election of its nominees. Oar people know that the ovly way to keep down Radical rule is by party organization and standing to the aetion of the conveution. They are well organized and will continue so, ‘In unity there is strength.” We heartily appland every word de- signed to preserve the unity of the eou- servative people of the connty. It ia an essential point with all who remeniber the fearful rale of radicalism while it was in power, It is always to be regretted that by any accident disturbing canses should enter into the deliberations of our ranks calculated to weaken its bonds of unity, and these things should ever be earefully guarded against. J3nt accidents will happen, we are told, in the beat reg- ulated families; and the disturbance in Rowan must be regarded in this light. There is a good deal of feeling in it, but as we have said iv another place, it is limited to the boundaries of this eounty, —can’t possibly go beyond it,—it doves not touch the polities of the people, who can still stand in harmony on al! ques- tions of true party significance. The peo- ple are sti}l in favor of Wm. M. Robbins fot re-election to Congress; (there has been bo expression as to Judge and Solic- itor), they are still in favor of John S. Henderson fur the Sevate; and for Flem- ing and Bost for the Commous. They are agreed on a re-election of all the county officers except Sheriff. There they split, and from the beat lights before us, itis a split of no politieal consequence, and will, if let alone, atljust itself without damage to the party, a At a Democratic eounty meeting in Winston, on the 9th, delegutes were ap- pointed to the District Convention to be hela at Yadkinville on the 8th of June, to numinate a Judge aud Solicitor. A reso- lution declaring John H. Dillard, of Gail- ford, as the choice of Forsyth eounty, for one of the Associate Justices of the Su- preme Court, was adopted, Also, a reso- lution declaring T. J. Wilson, Esq., as their first choice for Judge of the District. It must be admitted that both these nominations are good. It must especially be admitted that Jadgd Wilson, white fill- ing the office for which Forsyth now nom- inutes him, did give general satisfaction to the people and the bar. His decisions rank well iu the cases carried up to the Supreme Court. His demeanor on the bench, towards lawyers, officers of the court and the people, was pleasing, and elicited the praise of all. It is simple jas- tice to admit all this, for it is trne. And whaever chvice the Yadkinville Conven- tion may make, it certainly cannot impair the credit due Judge Wilson for the sac- rifice he made to oblige his conservative friends under circumstances of difficulty and risk, a Postmaster in Jail,—We learn from Mr. T. B. Long, of the Postal department, that he received an order from Washing- ton, a few days ago, directing his atten- tion to some irregularities at Walhalla, S. C. ‘That he set out immediately, on fvot, there being no other means of travel at his command, and after a tramp of thirty miles obtained facilities for reaching bis destination. That a short examination brought owt the fact that the Postmaster at that office, J. R. W. Johnston, formerly private secretary of ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia, had been appropriating the funds directed to hia office on money or- ders, to the amount of about $1000, and he thereupon had him committed to an- swer, We also learn frow Mr. Long, thal Murray, the man arrested in South Caro- lina, some months ago, on the eharge of raising money orders from one dollar to fifty dullors, had hig trial iv Charleston, recently, was convicted, and after his ap- peal was heard, the judgment of the eourt sentencing him-to five yeara in the penitentiary, was confirmed, ahd he is now working out the penalty.. LS le a Great sympathy is finding expression in the public press and by some lady writers North, in behalf of Kate Southern, the handsome young woman iu Georgia now under sentagee of death for murder- ing her former rival in a ball room. Mrs. Southern, recently married, objected to her husband’s dancing with a lady whom he bad formerly visited, but as he persjst- edin doing so, his wife armed herself with a kuife, and after the ree] was ended, tlew at the innocent subject of her jeal- ousy and with repeated blows cut ber down in the midst of the light-hearted company. Throagh the dariug of her husband she escaped, and was absent from the State for a year; was then arrested, and had her trial a few weeks ago; was conyicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged, It ia doubtfal wheather this ex- treme penalty will be inflicted, bat it is not knewn what will be her fate. ae The English strikers are becoming quiet, aed it is believed they will accept the proposed reduction of 5 per cent on wages. love their State.—Raleigh News.

It seems that ouly two or three of the townships had held primary meetings, and as a cousequence a much wixed dele- gation assembled in the Monroe court house yesterday. Delegates were appoin- ted to the State and district conventions from each township. A set of resolutions was introduced by Mr D A Covington en- dorsing Hons WN H Smith, T S Ashe and T N Hill for Sapreme Court bench and C E Grier'for solicitor. Each town- ship cast five votes and out of seven townships three were for the resolutions and three against. Great confusion en- sued and after another ballot the Grier roon, from the distressing seenes of the chamber of death, when other men slecp he repairs to his miduight study, and poriug over volumes of medieal works, seeks ta find something that may have escaped him in his study and his practice, whereby he may relieve pain, or save a life. While other men, aud those of oth- er professions, indulge the comforts of their homes, and at seasouable hoars re- tire to sleep, thy doctor breasts the storm, goes abroad at night in all weathers, tra- verres dark anddreary puthsand by- ways, inanswer tofke samuraus of either prince or peasaut, His work tukes him from the palaces of the rich to the hovels of the poor, and regardless of the consideration of compensation, he knows only his duty to humanity aud his profession. To appreciate this profession of hard- working, over-taxed aud under-paid practitioners, ought to be the duty of ed- ueators, and all men. To improve the efficiency of their profession is the work in which the medical men of the world are daily and hourly eugaged. And it is this that aunually calls the physicians of North Carolina together iu general cou- saltation ; that each. may learn. by com- parison of notes, somethiug from the oth- er, and by united and continued effort aug- ment the profieiency of the whole boiy ; and so guard their profession that no un- worthy member shall enter it, or quack impose upon and afflict the people. oe Exchange of Silver for Greenbacks Dis- continued, Wasuincton, May 18.—The exchange of silver for greenbacks ha been discon- tinued at the New York sub-treasury.

Justice to myself, jnstice to my friends, and justice to the Conservative Party, demaud that [ should speak out, or else | would huld my peace. My motives may be misconstrued, but for that I care little. I pledged myself to abide the action of the County Convention, and while I think I would violate no moral obligation in re- pudiating its action, still under existing circumstances, I shall not be a candi- date. The consciousness of having been the choice of a majority of the | good people of the county, even though | was defrauded of the nomination, is to me a source of greater pride and satisfaction, than if [ had obtained that nomination in the way it was made. second ballots I was fuirly entitled to the nomination, by every rule of right and justice. I received the vote of five townships on first ballet, and was justly entitled to the vote of Gold Hill township, which would have given me the nomiuation. Why do I say sot? In the call for the primary meeting in Gold Hill, no mention was made of any intention to nominate candidates, but the object was stated to be, simply the ap- potutment of delegates to the County Couvention. This being the case, but few attended, there being but one man present from the Bernhardt’s Mill pre- ciuct, which in the last election polled 101 votes. Notwithstanding this, a bal- lot was taken, but as 1 can substantiate, it Was proposed by amember of the town- ship committee, and agreed to by common consent, before the ballot was counted out, On the first and | to stand, it must have a ae a our y " seedeatieal eo ae with it no Conservative Party, and its bad conse- quences will be felt for years to come. I would have contested the whole matter on the floor of the Convention, but for the fact that that it was impossible, amid the prevailing turbulence, to get a hearing, and I decided to leave the whole matter to the calm, sober, second thought of the people. . I wash my hands of blame in the mat- ter. Ihave the prond consciousness of done nothing to compromise my honor or my integrity. I entered into no collu- sions nor combinations to secure the nom- ination, and the charge of distracting and dividing the party can not be laid at my door. To my friends who supported me so nobly, I shall ever be profoundly thank- ful, and I hope that I shall yet live to show them that I am not unworthy of their confidence. And now, if this is treason to the party, let who will, make the most of it. What, I have said here is Truth, and I am _ pre- | pared to maintain it anywhere, and un- der all oer 7 Very respectfully, : THEO. F. KLUTTZ. Salisbury, N.

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 8.—It is stated on good authority that Todfeben seut a note to the Porte yesterday, saying that he was compelled by the necessity of the niilitary situation to make the following demands, and requesting the ‘Turkish gov- ment to accede as soon as poasible : First, the evacuation of Shumla, Varna and Ba- tour ; second, the removal of the Turkish THE LUTHERAN SYNOD OF NORTH.

Bernheim, D. D. Recording Secretary, Rev. L. A. Bikle, D. Corresponding Secretary, D. Rev. J. B. Treasurer, Rev. S. Rothrock. The committee appointed last year to amend the constitution so as to increase the power of the president presented an interesting paper, which proposes to make the president superiutendeut of all the churches and missions iu our Synod.

The following | Davis, D. D. | | subject was discussed, approved and or- | campat Moslak, and thirdly, permission to occupy Buyukdere. It is considered almost certain that the Turks will fight rather than yield. A Reuter telegram, dated Constantino- ple, May 17th, says a regiment of Cos- sacks advanced to the T'arkish lines near | Belgrade yesterday, and summoned the Turks to withdraw toward Buyukdere. The Turkish officer replied that he must apply to the Porte for instructions before doing so. The Porte also received advices |that the Russians are advancing nearer | Gallipoli. The Russians insist that these movements are fur hygenic reasons. | Lonpox, May 13.—The news from Con- stautinople has a tendency to check ope- ‘rations. The conclusions from the news ‘are not fully credited, bat it is thought that if true, Todlebeun’s demands will be ‘overruled at St. Petersburg, now that ‘peace views prevail. Though Todleben’s ‘demands are not in the nature of ap ulti- matum, they bring a strong pressure to bear on the Porte. Great alarm exists in ' Constantivople, but au attack on the city ' or forcible occupation of the shores of the ' Bosphorus are discredited, as the Russian minister preseuts his credentials to the that it should not be considered binding, | 48 & mission point was nuder the care of Saltau to-day, and had an appointment to but that the chveice of the township be balloted for on the morn- ing of the County Convention in Sal- isbury. On fhat day,” however, this Was strennously objected to, and over- ruled, by the Chairman of the Committee and the ballot not allowed, though a ma- jority of the delegates present demanded it. At the primary meeting fifty-four votes were ¢ County Convention showed sixty-eight present, of which nuinber I received a clear majority. over both the other candi- dates, and yet the vote of the towhship Was cast ugaiust me, thus defeating my homlbation, SECOND BALLOT. By their instructions, implied if not ex- pressed, as well as by every rule govern- ing conventions, the live townships vot- ing for me on first ballot, were bound to vote for me on second ballot, and as long as there was a reasonable prospect of my nomination. And yet, acowbination was formed against me, which defrauded me, on the second ballot, of four out of the five, three voting against me, and one not voting at all. On this ballot, two town- ships which had voted against me on first ballot, to-wit, GoLp HiLttand FRANKLIN, voted for me, and if the tive had voted for me as they were in honor bound, this would have seeured my nomination. So Tsay I was fairly entitled to the nomination on both the first and sceond ballets. THIRD BALLOT. But how abont the third and last ballot on which the so-called nomination was made? Six townships were reported and counted as voting fur Mr. Bingham? Cf these, before the result was announced, objection was repeatedly made to count- ing the vote of Unity for him. To this objection, the President promised to lis- ten as soon as the Secretary had done calling the list of townships. Did he do so? No. Instead of listening to the objection, whieh was well founded, and urged by the best men in the township; instead of hearing argument as he had promised, and instead of referring the question to the Convention for decision, us he had done in every other case up to that time, the President, as soon as the Secretary had done, announced Mr. Bingham as the nominee of the Convention ! The Unity delegation had separated, the Chairman had gone home, it was un- derstood that the township would cast no further ballots, no one was authorized tu cast its vote, and yet in the fnee of these facts, and despite protest after protest it was counted fur Mr. Bingham, giving him the nomination. Of the remaining tive townships counted as voting for him on this decisive ballot, the vote of Scotch Irish was protested against by a large portion of the delegation and justly so. The ballot, as I am credibly informed, stood eleven for Bingham and eleven for Waggoucr, when some one took the au- thority to vote in the name of four dele- gates who had gone home, thus giving the towuship to Mr. Bingham. In Morgan's, it is notorjons that a large part of- the delegation had gone home and that no ballot was taken, but that a few of the delegates, withoyt authorit east that vote for Mr. Bingham. And does any- body pretend to say that the vote of Salis- bury township, east for Mr. Bingham on the last ballot, represented the wishes or the choice of the people of the towuship ? In the primary meeting, he received on first ballot, thirty-one votes to ninety-three cast for me, and on the last ballot be re- ceived four to one hundred and twonty-f ur cast for me! And yet, to secure hig nom- ination, the vote of Salisbary township Was cast and counted for him!

Boston, May 18.—A General meeting of the New England shoe and leather as- sociation was held at the Shoe and Leath- er Exchange to-day, to consider the mer- cautile status and several matters which have become obnoxious to the interests of the trade, such as lengthened credits, guaranteeing prices, reduction on goods and countermanding orders. After the discussion of these questions by promi- nent members vf the association, a com- mitteo was appointed which reported a series of resolutions recommending to the trade the discontinuance of the custom of dating bills beyond the time when the goods are shipped and to reduce the time from six to four months. ‘The resolutions further discountenance the custom of guaranteeing prices beyond the time fixed for the delivery of goods ; also, the custom of making reclamation on goods bought and ordered by sample, and countermand- ing of orders where the purchasers’ nameg have been stamped upon the goods. These resolutions were all adopted, with another resolution resolving that no com- promise shall be made with a debtor who has misrepresented his financial standing. 20 6@7 5 a BOOT and SHOE FOR 1878. |g.

Most of my readers are doubtless familiar with the account (an oft-told tale, at any rate) of the sudden in- crease in the splendor of a small por- tion of the sun’s surface on September 1, 1859, observed by two astronomers independently. The appearances des- cribed correspond with exactly what we should expect if two large mete- oric magses traveling side by side had rushed with a velocity originally amounting to 200 or 300 miles per second, through the portions of the solar atmosphere lying just above, at and. just below the visible photo- sphere. The actual rate of motion was measured at 120 miles per second as the minimum, but may, if the ac- tual direction of motion was consider- ably inclined to the line of sight, have amounted to more than 200 miles per second. ‘The effect was such that the parts of the sun thus suddenly excited to an increased emission of light and heat appeared like bright stars upon the background of the glowing pho- tosphere itself. One of the observers, Carrington, supposed for a moment that the dark glass screen used to pro- tect the eye had broken. The increase of splendor was exceedingly limited in area, and lasted only for a few min- utes—fortunately for the inhabitants of earth. As it was, the whole frame of the earth aympathised with the sun. Vivid auroras were seen not only in both hemispheres, but in latitudes where auroras are seldom seen. They were accompanied by unusually great electro-magnetic disturbances. “In many places,” says Sir J. Herschel, “the telegraph wires struck work. At Washington and Philadelphia the elec- trio signal-men received severe elec- tric shucks. Ata station in Norway the telegraph apparatus was set fire to, and at Boston, in North America, a flame of fire followed the pen of Bain’s electric telegraph, which writes down the message upon chemically-prepared paper,” We see, then, that most certainly the sun can be locally excited to in- creased emission of light and heat which, nevertheless, may last but for a very short time; and we have good reason for believing that the actual cause of the sudden change in his cou- dition was the downfall of meteoric ya@tter upon a portion of his surface. We may well believe that, whatever the cause may have been, it was one which might in the case of other suns, or even in our sun’s own case, affect a @ mueh larger portion of the phota-|*"4 Poke a string thro’ and put » knot on , in which case there would be just such gn acoession of splendor as we nize in the case of the new stars. And as the small accessions of brilliancy lasted only a few minutes, we can well believe that an increase of surface brilliancy affeeting a much larger portion of the photosphere, or aven the enfire photosphere, might last but a few days or weeks,—Proc- tor, —_—_~ ae tS THE LATE GENERAL Synop.—It gives us unfeignod pleasure to record the fact that the late meeting at New- berry was one of the most pleasant the General Synod has ever held.— The spirit of love—the true spirit of the Gospel and of Christ—pervaded the entjre delegation, and was happi- Jy displayed by all from the beginning to the end of the long session. Not a jar was felt, not a hard word was spoken,; scarcely an unpleasant sonsa- tion was experienced by any one. We all realiged the beauty and force of that inspired exclamation; “Be- hold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in uni- ty.” The influence that goes out upon a community from a body like our Gen- eral Synod, whose wisdom, intelli- gence, and administrative and execu- tive ability command the respect and admiration of all, cannot svon be lost, And when to this we add the gentle, genial spirit of Jove gd harmony that About Some Consciences. Because there may be some individ- uals who object to having the Bi- ble read in the schools, does not prove that their consciences alone are to be respected, If such a rule as this were applied to all the affairs of govern- ment, its administration, in many particulars, would be made impracti- cable. On this phase of the subject ing well-made points: “Some may object to all war, and may think it wrong for the State to tax them to support the militia. The State is not bound to humor their con- sciences so far as to remit the tax for the training of the militia. If such persons are too conscientious to pay it, no such tax isexacted. If the Lord’s Prayer cannot be said in a school be- cause infidels conscientiously object, how are the principles of morality to ve directly or implicitly inculcated there? ®ree-lovers object on moral grounds to marriage. Are all refer- ences to the sanctity of the marriage tie to be avoided? Communists ob- ject to the accepted notions of proper- ty. ‘Property,’ they say ‘is robbery.’ Shall the school-teacher refrain from all references to the distinction of meum and tuum? And shall he ab- stain from reproving such a practical exemplification of communism as wou'd occur if one pupil should steal another’s text book? ‘The notion that everybody’s conscience must be hu- mored, if this idea were pushed to its logical results, would exclude history and literature from our schools, and mental philosophy as well.” nn a It does not excite in us any great surprise to find men who are lax in doctrine pronouncing harsh judg- ments upon those who earnestly con- tend for the faith. Indifference in regard to doetrine is usually coupled with uncharitableness. When a man has taken it into his head that every revealed doctrine to which he is indif- ferent is non-essential, and may be re- ceived or rejected according to each individuai’s pleasure, it is quite natu- ral that he should imagine those to be very stubborn, narrow-hearted fellows who will not fall in with his views. From his point of view, they of course lack breadth and catholicity, as they apply the divine test of Gad’s Word, and therefore exclude much that lati- tudinarians take in. view were that of faith, his judgments would be different.—Luth.

The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public went of the business men and of the interests of the county. ‘The time hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have a ests in the various afftirs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would not be greatly Lenetited by a journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it serves; and and support it liberally, as a means of increas ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the inure beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for its supportis far less than the material good it dues, it is the best invest- ment any county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. 1f it is the duty of every man to keep himself well infurmed in respect to public afiairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to hix readers the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be trne in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wiselv for the general good. As political matters now stand, hig personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory us second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776. The danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to thé occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people. While that party shall continue more pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it, But the main design of The Record is to serve the county of Davidson in all the waya it may be possible to advance her interesta and pro- mote the welfare of her people. And to this end the undersigned desires ench intimate re- lations with her citizens as shal] enable him *o perform his duty efficiently. The paper will be published weekly at $1 a year in advance. It will be small, but neatly printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes to make up in quality what may be lacking in size. The first number will appear about the firet week in January, 1878.

In looking over the list of names we were struck with the fact that _— them are the very pames of the Scote Irish emigrants to this region, between the Yadkin and Ca- tawba Rivers—from 1740 onward ; such as John Nisbet, * Arch. Allison, Wm. Thompson, James Stewart, Henry Hall, Robt. Gray, Whitelow, Nichols, Wharey, Smith, Wilson, Martin, Lawson, Wood, Harvey, Miller, Gouger, Johnston, Finley, Wm. Cockran, James Robertson, John Poiter, James Skeen, Edward Marshall, James Graham, James Mitchell, Andrew Clark, Samuel MeBwen, George Jackson, John Watt, John Sample, a &é. Ttis said that these same varfles prevail in Pennsylvania where the Scotch Irish so- journed for a time before they came to North Carolina. It would seem that we have here the lineal descendants of those who loved not their lives unto the death; but were drowned, hanged, shot, beheaded, and their heads stack upon poles ; their bodies chopped in pieces, and scattered about in the days of Claverhouse. ‘I hrough their blood shed in defence of religious liberty, we enjoy many a great privilege.

Wo were at the foot of the leaning tower of Pisa. One of those guides who infest every place of interest, and insist on pointing out toyou the things most to be admired, said to me, as IT was walking “You were here more than near him, twenty years ago.” Lsaid “Yes, but [am not sure that you remember me ?” “Certainly I do,” he replied; “you were here in company with three young men, and I recollect you pertectly well.” This was rather remarkable, especially as he accurately mentioned the number of my companions and the time that had elapsed since | was here. Bat he yather injured himself in my esteem by adding that he also remembered Lord) Palmers- ton, Loved Julin Russell, and two or three more great men. From which T inferred that it was a way he had of trying to pro- pitiate the favor of travelers by associa- ting them with distinguished strangers who had been there before, “How long have you been here as a guide ?” “More than fifty years.” “And is the tower now as it was when you first saw it:-does it Jean any more than it did then ?” He—Tt seems to lean more and more every day: and if you will sit down just there on the steps of the cathedral, and look steadily at it, while the sun is shiu- ing on it, you will see it is settling over that way all the time: some people say they can see it going down.” I—“But it stands jus} as it did when Galileo walked up the steps, and dropped from its summit the weights by which he determined the great problem of the fall of bodies.” Tasked him what was the commonly received opinion as to the cause of its leaning over. He said most people think it settled while it was building, and when the fact was ascertained that it could not settle any further, the building was con- tinued and completed out of the perpen- dicular. I—“This opinion appears to me ab- surd. Here is a tower erected for the bells of the cathedral: the bell-tower: the campanile: its height is 200 feet: its diameter—for it is round—is about 20, and it leans out of a perpendicular fifteen feet. To suppose that a tower of exquis- ite architecture in stone, designed for such & purpose, and-built at such vast expense, would be finished after it begun to lean out of the perpendicular, would argue an amount of rashness on the part of the builders, or the directors, that has no parallel even in these modern times, when a building in Woolwich, England, erected under the direction of the government engineers for army purposes, tumbles down before it js up, and carries 170 work- men into its heap of ruins.” He—“Do not your buildings fall of their awn weight in America ?” I—Certainly they do. A few days before I left home, the roof of the finest building in New York city fell in while I was looking at it, and crashed several men. Such accidents oceur ju all ages and that makes it more improbable hat the builders of this tower, in the 11th cen- tury, would pun gsueh a risk as te go on With it after it began to settle. Besides, it would be 4 matter of record, of diseus- sion and decision, if a tower in which these mighty bells were to swiug had been permitted to go on and up atter it began to lean toward its fall. I presume it was finished, with its suecessive galleries, to the very summit, its bells were hung, and by-and-by, the earth beneath became gradually compressed an the side where the ground below was less solid than on the other; that this settling proceeded sa slowly as to be imperceptible for many long years, and was never mentioned in ee = the chronicles of the cathedral, as it cer- tainly would have been had it occurred while it was ia process of building. “It was begun in 1174, and has there- fore stood more than 750 years. In that time the tendency to fall might easily have been so slow as not to be noticed. I have no means of knowing when its pro- peusity was discovered, nor the date when the fact is first mentioned in history. It takes its place among the wonders of the world, and there it stands, a perpetual proof that in this world, if the foundation is good, what is only partially upright need not utterly fail.” The chief interest of this stractare, apart from its leaning, is the nse that Galileo’ made of it, and his name will never be separated from it and the cathe- A priest in the garb of a monk was preaching with all his might to a little company when we entered the cathedral. They were mostly women: the day was a high feast, and the people were evident- ly of the poorer classes, I never like to walk about a church while service is in progress, though a pricat may be ready to serve as an escort.

A French author told me, a few days ago, that unless his books were translated into English he derived very little profit from the sale of them. French and Italian books, unless of the trivial, volatile sort, like the novels, and novel- ettes, and plays, have no readers at home. The University of Pisa has its three de- partments of theology, haw and medicine, and gives a thorough course of instrue- tien to those who would be well instruet- ed.

EXPERIJENTS WITH BAL- LOON SIGNALS. An Atrial Telegraph for Land and Sea— Signals to be Read Twenty-five Miles Away— What was Done at Fort Whip- ple Saturday Evening—Dr. Harris’ New System Satisfactory. _ Last Saturday evening a series of inter- esting experiments in balloon signalling were given at Fort Whipple in the pres- ents of a board of army officers appointed by General Myer, and a number of ladies and gentlemen from this city. The inventer of the proposed code of signals, Dr. H. G. Harris, gave a short INTERESTING lecture et ) commencing oat exhibi- Kentucks,- $66.005— system which he intended ta exhibit to his andience a message could be sent at a distance of twenty-five miles. It could be made useful either on sea or land, and in the former caso would prove invaluable to ship-wrecked mariners, as the balloon coukl be made strong enough to carry a heavy rope by which communication could be made on shore. He stated that the experiments would be of three kinds, viz: First, experiments with colors and stars; second, detonating balls and parachutes containing messages in cylinders; and third, experiments by means of a meteoric display. For each test a Jarge balloon made of manilla had been constructed and was filled with hot air. A tail, similar to that used by boys on their kites, was attached to the hoop at the smaller end of the balloon, which | was then cut loose and turned off into the air. Upon this tail was strang the line of signals, which consisted of balls and stars. ‘The first experiment was highly satisfac- tory, not one of the balls missing fire, ‘The second experiment was with deton- ating balls and parachutes. As soou as the balloon was filled it was cut loose, and in a few moments the balls began to explode, After a period of tive minutes the middle of the string was reached, when a para- ed, and the seulpture of the pulpit is au | chute of flame was seen coming slowly down from the balloon. While falling, the colors were changed three times. The inventor claims that this is the best signal that could be invented, as it ean be plain- ly seen a distance of twenty-five miles. The third and last experiment was a meteoric or pyroteenic display. A balluon similar to that used in the other tests was set off, and during its upward passage, the sky in its wake was filled with stars und showers of flames which somewhat resembled snow - flakes. The beard appointed by General Myer consisted of Lieutenants Grugen, Vedder, and Barber, and at the conclusion of the experiments, these gentlemen expressed themselves as highly gratitied at the suc- cess of Dr. Elariis’ new system. The beautiful exhibition was plainly visible in all parts of the city, and crasvds of people gathered on the side walks to discuss the wonderfal phenomena, Dr. Harris intends giving another exhi- bition shortly before a committee com pos- ed of representatives of the press and ar- my and navy. The balloon, which is de- signed to be used in either branch of the service, is to be of rubber or oiled silk, which cau be filled with compressed hy- The weight of the implements used in making the signals will be about six pounds, and can be rolled into a very small package, drogen gas in about four minutes. which can be easily carried by a man ou horseback.

CON- From a letter published in the last issue of the Carolina Methodist from Rev. BL Ih. Ried, we take the followiag extract ia re- gard to the division of the N.C. Confer- ence: “The memorial of the N. C. Conference in regard to the division of the Confer- ence Was presented in due time and form and was referred to the Committee ou Boundaries. Here it was discnssed freely and fully by all the parties concerned, with no hope of harmonizing certain con- fliction elements. The N. C. delegation met and considered the subject, and de- cided to meet the Holston delegation and see if the two delegations could not har- monize on ® plan for the division. The delegations met but could not harmonize. They met the second time, and it was clearly shown that it was the best nof to make a division at all, and by a unanimous vote both delegations decided to with- draw the memorial of the N.C. Confer- ence and not to divide the Conference at all. Accordingly, the memorial was with- drawn, and the question settled. So the N. Conference will remain as it is at least four years longer. I wish to lay steers ou the fact that every single member of the N.C. delegation was present when the above action was taken, and that every one of them agreed to it. There was not a single voce against it. The rea- son of this harmonious action was due to the fact that intelligence was received from the Holston territory that made it entire- ly impracticable at present to make any division whatever. [¢ was a source of much gratification to many that there was so much harmony in the above action,” m Co , Green which gives us some hamiliating informa- tion.

Oar other cities have done but little. We mention these details iu order to bring the matter immediately before our peo- ple. Itis true that the general blight that has fallen upon ail our industries has checked the growth of generosity and even hospitality. Our benevolent asso- ciatious havé not escaped its withering effects, and our religions communities bear marks of its ravages, Still, remem- bering all this to its fullest extent, there remain to us some memories that are so true and so tender that we ought to sac- rifice almost all rathey than these should stand unprotected. When we erect stat- and monuments to our good and great dead we leave to our children proofs of our devotion to virtne that will eda- them in the faith of reverence for their ancestors and renew in them a de- oI nes cate termination to live and die virtuous gen- tlemen. _ Col. Green, a gallant follower.of Lee, tells us so cloquently our duties in’ this regard, that we quote what he writes to us ina private letter. “North Carolina must deo her full duty.” As she was: the firstin the war, contributing more men and filling wore graves than any other, so should she assert the same place in these 7 in rearing a monument to the most perfect man and “weak piping times of peace,’ symmetrical character ouside of Holy writ, and through him to the canse which he espoused, and to her own immortal sons, who followed him through thick and thin over a hundred bloody fields. “Tomy conception itis net only a statue to the greatest captain of the age, bat it isa monument to the lost cause. In rearing it State lines and State preju- dices should be forgotten, and all who sympathise with that cause should be willing to contribute their obolus. A State that was so liberal of her blood should not be too chary of her money.

Restraint and reproof may be mingled with the love, bat love must be a coustant element. “] found my little girl was growing un- amiable and plain,” said a mother to as the other day, “and reflecting on this sac- ly, I could but accuse myself as the cause thereof. So I changed my management and improved every opportunity to praise and encourage her, to assure her of my an- bounded affection for her and my carnest desire that she shoukl grow up to a love- ly and harmonious womanhood. As a rose opens to the sunshine, 80 the child’s heart opened in the warmth of the con- stant affection and caresses I showered upon her; her peevishness passed away, her face grew beautiful, and now one look from me brings her to my side, obedient to my will, and happiest when she is nearest me.” Is there not in this a lesson for all parents? Not all the plowing or weeding or cultivation of every sort we can give our growing crops, will do for them what the steady shining of the sun can effect. Loye is the sunshine of the family ; without it neither character, mor- ality, nor virtue can be brought to per- feetion.—Sel. ————_-——— A child-on exhibition in St. Louis is only thirteen mouths old and weighs 100 pounds, | of mortality of Harvard 16.

The existing tariff law taxes every man, woman and child in the United States, to profit a few manufacturers. In the dis- cussion relative to the export trade of the United States, while all concede the im- portance of the great strides which have been made by American prodneers in finding market for their surplus products, it is nevertheless true, that the great bulk of our exports are made of products of the soiland raw materials, and not of skilled labor. There can be no controver- sy in regard to the fact. The exports for the calendar year 1877 amounted in value, exclading gold and silver, to 567,000,000. The value in round nambers of some of the leading articles will be found in the fol- lowing list : Cotton. ...........----$161,000,000 Petroleum Hog Products Leaf Tobacco Breadstnffs Here is atotal of $446,000,000 (in an aggregate of 567,000,000), which consists almost enterely of products of the soil, or raw material. If we add the products of less importance, of the same class, we shall make up fully $467,000,000 of the total of $567,000,000.

There will be a charge of eight dollars ; here is the money to pay it, and half a dollar which you will keep for doing the errand.” On his return to the hotel, the Bishop's friends langhed at him for his credulity, telling him that he would nev- er see the boy or the bundle or the mon- ey again; but in halfan hour the young chap returned, bringing the bundle and a receipted bill for eight dollars and _ fifty cents, the Bishop having made a slight mistake as to the amount that was due. “How did you manage to pay the extra half-dollar 2?” he inquired. “I took the money you gave me for the job. I knew that you would make it all right.” And “all right” it was made, andl have no doubt that the Contidence that was re- posed in that boy because of his trahful- ness will do him good, as,long as he lives. — Spurgeon say he has often thonght when hearing certain preachers of a high order speaking to the young, that they must have understood the Lord to say «Feed My cameleopards,” instead of “Feed My lambs,” for nothing bat giraffes could reach any spiritual food from the lofty rack on which they place it. a OO eee elf any one doubts the onward march of improvement let him remember that the old plan of fastening your napkin around your neck at dinner time has been done away with by the patented inven- tion of Marshall Burnett, of Hyde Park, Mass.

TE Oe DRESSING FOR CHURCH. It is in bad taste to make the church the place for the show of fine clothes. To make the house of prayer a scene for exhibition of the latest fashions and thus to appear before God, is out of all char- acter. The plainest raiment which is in keeping with the usaal habit of a person, is most consistent with the gravity of re- ligious worship. Thoroughly refined peo- ple are always averse to making a dis- play ot themselves. Least of all do well cultured persons wish to draw the .gaze of a congregation to themselves, when they and others are met for the serious matter if religious instruction and devo- tion. They desire also, that as far as possible, all distinctious of rich and poor, great and little, shall disappear in the sanctuary that this by an appearance of equality, the lowly may be encouraged to attend public worship. If there is one place where a true heart wants to be free front the affectation, or even the semblance of asstuned superiority, it is in the pres- ence of the great God. “The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all.” eR WATERSPOUTS. The theory of the waterspouts is still somewhat unsettled, notwithstanding the numerous observations which have been made. Generally it appears as a dimin- utive whirlwind lasting forma few sec- onds to an hour, and reaching down from under the surface of a cloud to, or, nearly to, thesurface of the earth orsea, In the cen- ter ofthis whirlwind appearsaslender col- umn of water or of dense vapor, proba- bly hollow, and air whirling around it is sometimes an ascending, but more gener- ally a decending current. The cloud bursts of Bastern Nevada, which have at times caused much damage, are of the latter type. Certain portionsof theglobe are peculiarly subjected to waterspouts, which thas, like cyclones, have some- what of a local character. Our engrav- ing, for which weare indebted to the London Graphic, represents the British ship Boxer surrounded by waterspouts during arecent éruise on the west coasts of Africa, when unusual facilities for study - ing the character of such phenomena were offered. — men ee pe THE VATICAN AND THE POWERS. Lonpon, May 12.—A telegram to the Stardard from Rome says the most un- compromising party has probably tri- umphled at the Vatican. The Pope’s liver affection, it says, is not alarming, but he ought to go away, and desires to go to Perugia, but is unable to resist the pres- sure put upon him to remain in the Vati- can. Cardinal Caterini, Prefect of the Congregation, has written to the German priests who accepted Government stipends threatening their suspension if they do not make a declaration against the May laws and repudiate the stipends. A Reu- ter dispatch from Rome says: ‘After the publication of Cardinal Caterini’s letter censuring the Prussian priests, negotia- tions between the Vatican and Berlin im- mediately terminated. The negotiations with the other Powers also failed. The Vatican is stated to have resolved upon a policy of resistance. The Pope’s health has improved.” <2 ———_—- A quantity of well executed counter- feit trade dollars has been captured in Cincinnati. They are composed of block tin, bismuth, and palverised glass.

The committee appointed under the Potter resolution to investigate the elec- toral frands of 1876-'77 have organized and are about to begin work. A tremen- Aous outery is raised against this search after Gruth, by the Republicans. Some declare that the movement is revolution- ary, and profess to be greatly shocked at the bare idea of unseating Mr. Hayes. Others regard the investigation as simply a moana of manufacturing political capi- tal this fall, and profess to believe that it will be as futile in ita results as it will be hurtful to the party that originated it. Othera again, seejug the hand of the mas- ter manipulator of the matter in the work, console themselves with the reflection that it will fail, and confidently predict that it will lead to the election of Grant or Blaine jn 1830, So much for Republican senti- ment.. If there is anything consolatory in the viows wherewith they delude them- selves, they are welcome to it all. The Democrats don't think they them- selves are going to be hurt by proceeding with the investigation, and proceed they will, to the bitter end, ynless they weaken and yield to the ball-dozing radical lea:- ers of the North. They should not hesi- tate. All fair-minded men now approve the movement, since it is scen clearly that pro serious agitation will be causel by it, pnd no injury result tq the businesa in- geresta of the country.

Those of this way of thinking appear to be in decided minority, and as it becomes more and niore apparent every day that the peace of the land will not be in the least disturbed by the investiga- tion, the numbers of this mivority are evidently dwindling.

Very few criminal eases in this country have ever excited more general comment or attracted a larger degree of public in- terest than that of Mrs. Kate Southern, who, at a ball in Pickens county, Georgia, a year ago, stabbed and killed Miss Nar- cissa Cowart, a woman who was trying to win from her the affections of tho man who had but a few weeks before been made her husband. The Observer pub- lished at that time one of the first ac- counts of the occurrence ever given the publie, but a repetition of the story, with some additional and bottom facts, is not out of place here: Nurcissa Cowart and Kate Humbrick were 1ivals for the love of Bob Southern. He married Kate, aud some mouths after the marriage a party was given at her father’s house. Miss Cowart was invited to be present. Mrs. Soathern, knowing this, warned her hus- baud that he must not dance with her or speak to her during the night. He laugh- ed at her jealous fears and promised that he would respect her wishes. He did so until late in the night. He then, through careleasneas or in a freak—for it appears that he did love his wife devotedly — took Miss Cowart on the floor fora dance. His wife at once went up to the couple, deter- mined to prevent their dancing together. She claimed that her husband was en- gaged for a dancing together. She claim- ed that her husband was engaged for that set to her. Miss Cowart denied this, and said “she had a right to dance with him if he desired to dance with her.” Southern himself took sides with Miss Cowart, and the dance went on, Mrs. Southren giving way. After the dance was over Mrs. Suathern sought her hus- band, aud taking him to one side of the room, sat down by his side. What they said to each other may never be known. While they were talking, however, Miss Cowart, evidently very mueh exhilarated, danced in front of them two or three times. This seemed to exasperate Mrs. Southern very much, and at length she rose suddenly and sought her father, who, with her mother, was in an adjoining room. Going up to him she asked for his knife, telliug him she wauted to pare her nails. He banded the weapou tu her and she left the room. Re-eutering the dane ing-room she discovered her rival still dancing in an elated sort of way across the room. She rushed upon her with the rapidity of lightning, and seizing her by the throat said: You have danced enough!” With this she plunged the knife into her shoulder, striking her just above the heart. Her victim never uttered a word, but fell at once. In falling, Mrs. Southern stabbed her again, cutting each time a gash several inches long, As she touch- ed the floor Mrs, Southern threw hersclf upon her and plunged the knife into her body again, this time eutting through her clothes and belt aud opening the abdo- men. Miss Cowart died instantly, and before the crowd could understaud what was going on. The confusion was terri- ble. Some one called out : “Where is the Piprida that the victory won by our party ‘ 2 man that did this ?” “I did it!” screamed er, had been working silently but ively to have her death avenged, and when the Southerns had becn in North Carolina eight or vine months, they heard that parties were on their track, and they set out to move to the West. Near Ma+ con, Georgia, they got inte trouble with the keeper of a toll gate, which led to their arrest. They were bronght back, and Mrs. Southern tried and convieted of murder, and sentenced to be hung. Five of the ablest lawyers in Georgia defended ber, and after her conviction, despairing of a more favorable judgment rGov. Colquitt, and Imve bronght the pressure of public opinion to bear upon him to secure » pardon or at least a com- mutation. Nu mus tffidavits have been secured and presented to him, these mak- ing out the following case: Kate Ham- brick, who was a girl of modest, chaste character, loves and marries Bob Sonth- ern. She discovers that he has before marriage contracted an illicit intimacy with a handsome, fast and reckless, wo- man of the county. She finds that through certain threats of exposure her husband is under the influence of this woman, who succeeds in carrying him to her house three days before the marriage, and se- duces him away from home ou the fourth hight after the marriage. She learns from all sides that this woman swears that she and her husband shall have no peace or satisfaction as long as she lives; that she is circulating reports that blacken her (the young wife's) character, and is carry- ing these reports to her hasband and his relatives. After being driven out of the neighborhood by this persecution, she re- turns for a visit, sick, enciente, nervous and worn down by epilepsy. The first night of her return she is confronted by her rival and enemy, who trices to take charge of her husband, pulls her coufidant from her lap, and taking her into an an- te-room, fills the ears of this friend with the vilest abuse of her character. This friend returns and tells her what has been said, and in a few moments, while she is smarting under this scandalous attack and fearfel of the future, this woman comes to her in the presence of her hus- band, and insults her by flaunting in front of her and saying, ‘Now, Kute Southern, Iam ready for you.” She jumps np to confront her insulter, she is caught by the hair and thrown down, a struggle ensues in which Kate Southern’s sister takes a part, and before the bystanders can interfere Cowart is dead. Narcissa This is the new story, and the sister who is now in the peniteutiary for two years for her part in the murder, is said .o be willing to swear that she did the kill- ing. Georgia has been stirred up over this case as it had rarely ever beon atirred up before. The people were alinost unani- mous in their expressions ayainst the gul- lows in the case of this grossly wronged and justly incensed wife, aud petitions for her commutation or pardon poured iu upon Gov. Colquitt from all parts of the Union. He has yielded and commuted the sen- tence from that of death to imprisonment in the penitentiary for the term of ten years. The public, familiar with the facts, excellency in the premises. ‘There is a strong sentiment in evlightened minds against the shedding of blood by the law except in the most aggravated cases, and eall it sentimentality or what you will the idea of hanging 8 woman is not an agreeable subject for contemplation. While this opposition to the death penal- ty in the case of females cannot be defend- ed upon moral, logical or philosophical grounds, the sentiment remains the same; and while it cannot but be admitted that its general application would be utterly subversive of the principles upon which the law is founded, and would contribute to the speedy downfall of the fabric of so- ciety, still in such cases as that of Mrs. Southern, where, upon the testimony the jury could not do otherwise thau find guilty, or the court otherwise than pro- nounce the deuth sentence, the executive does right in carefully weighing all the cireumstaaces which surround the case and considering and giving due weight to all those circumstances o. aggravation of which the court docs not take cognizance. It is for this good reason that the pardun- ing power is wisely vested in the execu- tive officer of the State, and he who with- holds it when there appears ground for its use, has blood upoo his hands. It is with him to make allowances for cir- cumstances aud for the frailties of human nature, and where this is taxed beyond what it can bear, and the slayer in a mo- mentof temporary insanity, and under impulses born of no motion of his or hers, strikes the fatal blow, itis his duty to step between the offender and the gallows. Such seems to have been this ease. For Mrs, Southern to have submitted further than sho did, would have required an ex- hibition of higher attributes than we need look for in poor human nature. For the erime whieh she committed, the cireum- stances considered, ten years imprison- ment is the amplest punishment. From the Wilmington Star we glean the following on the same aubject : ‘ The press is beeoming highly senti- mental ever the Georgia murderess, and Gov. Colqnitt is expected to yield to very gauze-like persyasjous and to grant a par- don. If Mrs, Southern has been wrong- fully couvieted, t}en, by all means let the hamane and Christian Governor grant a pardon to the poor woman. If she really committed murder and is insane, why should she not pay the penalty due for a great and fearfal crin@} The Augusta Chronicle, oug of the ablest from a higher court, laid the case before | PTS herself pe | —Goldsboro Messenger. cannot fail to applaud the course of his | not co if she shield a al fro capable of commited 1 and brutal érimes, ‘The day as it eomes to as in the newspapers shows that they have the intellect to plan crimes aud the fosolution to execute, On- ly a few days agu there died ju the State ison of Connectiéut a wretch who con- fessed to having puisoned three husbands’ and four children. If capital punishment is wrong let it be abolished ; but until it is let it be dealt out to women and men with strict inypartiality.’ This is sound and healthy talk, It will hold water. The time has long ago pass- ed when worien were regarded as inferi- ors, socially or ‘fitélectually. They are the man’s equal, and have far less induce- ment to crime than men. When, there- fore, they turn “@hé-devils” and become / maurderéts, they should be punished as men are for such hidcous, diabolical crimes. The law should not be a respec- ter of persons.” a_i ends Men for the Legislature.—It is a pity that the good business men of this coun- ty, men who can do their particular see- tion great good in the Legislature, are not prevailed upon by their fellow citi- zens to sacrifice their business at home for only a two months trip to Raleigh at four dollare a day.

The accoustical arrangements of the hall are so poor that the vocalization was ac- complished under di‘ficulties, and the sweet tones of “Am Meere” lost some of the richness in expression, which was full aud coinplete in the actual reidition lby the singer.

Vance has been preachivg this all impor- tant subject to the people of this State for years, and to our knowledge, there is not, in the State, a single institution designed to fit a boy to be a farmer or mechanic. On the contrary, all are giving young men what is known as a liberal education; for which the majority of the people have no use; because the majority of the people have to woik, aud they want an educa- tion to fit themselves specially for what ever trade they propose to follow. Vance says you may spout latin to a mule all day and he won’t move a peg; but yell out ‘git up” aud away he goes. Give the farmer boy an edacation iu Agricultural Chemistry, and leave off the Latin and Greek.

The May Musical Festival (the nation’s musical pride) has now passed into bis- tury, and has become a thing of yesterday; but ere the sod which now rests so light- ly over its silent tenement, is dry, the exhalation of the roses that have sprung up and blossomed to its honor has filled the air of St. Louis, and sent a halo of in- spiration to the hearts of her musical devotees, and soon she, too, is to have a Musical Festival. Music, the pabulum of the soul is the world’s greatest civilizer. Truly, “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.” It is this electric wire, when touched, “makes all mankind kin.” The baton of Rosini in the Acad- emy of Music at Leipzig re-echoes tiie symphony of Beethoven ander the baton of Thomas in Springer Hall, and the na- tive language of Liszt and Schubert be- comes the language of our own Dexter and Cary.

Expecting to get office under Greely, he supported that great man and became a warm advocate of Reform and Reconciliation. For the same reason he espoused the equse of Tilden.

If all from him to the Town of Salisbury and | ee old Slave States cau combine, so can all the old free States. The only thing Aldermen Atwell and Frereks were ap- | needod for this is an oceaston, made plain to the comprehension of the masses. Then there is this differenee: All the old slave States combined stiH require to elect their candidat ; whereas the old free States combined need no help, but in themselves constitute a ma- jority, and can elect their caydidate with- out extraneons aid. The Democratic candidate in 1376 was fuirily electéd. So we maintain, on the evidence, at all events. Certain old rebcts in the Demo- cratic party traded off the election to the friends of Mr. Hayes. They connived at the frand by which Hayes was counted in, and they now couspire with their Northern doughface Democratic allies to block the way to an investigation which woulkl uncover and expose the great frand. Do men who conduct themselves in this way suppose that the mass of the Northern Democracy are so base-born, 80 absolutely wavfing in self-respect, as to continue to act, to cooperate with them ? What guarantee can these treacherous men give that they would not again sell out the party on the heels of asecond vic- tory? The North—the old free States—will not loose sight of the fact that the Demo- cratic candidate who, after he had been lawfully elected, was sold out by South- ern rebels, was pledged against the pay- ment of rebel war claims. It is evident that this now constitutes the greatest barrier to an investigation which would be liable to put Hayes ont and Tilden in. It is all very well to talk sentiuiental- help {the acknowledged Alma Mater of Muasic,!ly about burying the dead past, only we The next Presidential election is not yet decided, AN UNJUST INDICTMENT OF THE SOUTH. (From the N. ¥, Sun May 18th.) What the slaveholders rebellion failed to achieve by force to-day stands accom- plished by fraud. The Governtment of the United States, which the Southern armies were unable to overthrow, has been underminded by corruption. It is not surprising to find some of those who were most active in the futile at- tempt to destroy the Government by arms now delving under its foundations with the devices of fraud. It is quite con- sistent for various Southern rebels,’ now yeleped Democrats, to bolster up Hayes in the office of President. There is bo other way they could do so much to destroy the Government against which they once openly appeared im batue array, and which there is of late too much reason to believe they still regard with feelings of hatred —in this crisis extremely ill con- Lceaied. - Those Northern Damocrats who look to av alliance with these former rebels of the South as their own road to political promotion naturally but basely go with them in resisting an exposure of the Presidential trands. These modern ser- ville followers of the determined South- ern conspirators had their prototypes in the Northern doughfaces of the slavery. The people see into the true condition ot things.

Like to the lightning from the sky, Or like a post that quick doth hie, Or like a quaver in a song, Or like a journey three days long, Or like the snow when summet’s come, Or like the pear, or like the plum ; Even such is man, who heaps up sorrow, Lives but this day, and dies to-morrow. The lightning’s past, the post must go, The song is short, the journey so, The pear doth rot, the plum doth fall, The snow dissolves, and so must all. ee THE RIGHT SORT OF SOUTHERN SPIRIT. . “Are ye a At a recent entertainment given by the Commercial Club, of Boston, to the visiting senators from the South, Senator Gordon said : “These Southern friends and myself have come te look at your great facto- ries, your manufactures, your great industries, and wonderful material de- velopments, and to gather inspiration from that proverbial energy and enter- prise which have enabled you to conquer unfriendly nature and to convert the bleak hills of New England iuto prodnetive farms to support your commerce and your manufactures. We have come also to put you upon notice, and I take this oc- cassion to serve that notice, that we of the South inten to enter with you in some of those branches of industry which hitherto have been yours peculiarly and almost exclusively. We have water pow- ers unexcelled, which we are going to util- ize, and even now we are utilizing. We have a climate most balmy and genial and healthful. We have rich mines of coal and iron, and we intend to wake from their long sleep in their mountain beds these twin sons of Hercules, and set their arms to work in securing the great indas- trial wealth which awaits us. And if your people of the East are not alert and active we intend to overtake you in the race, to strain along abreast with you, and I am not sure but that on the home- Streteh we shall yet lead you on some of these lines of enterprise,” It ia but a few years since the great West arrived at o similar conclusion, aud to-day the vast agricultural resources of the West are surpassed in valne by the newly created manufacturing interests, Before the waning nineteenth century comes to an end the same may be true of the South. The old time planter’s igno- rant prejudice against labor, particularly mechanical labor, is fastdying out. Raw eotton is no longer king. Possibly in the new regime the spinning jenny may be queen. -_- CONTENTED WITH THEIR LOT. A Paris paper relates a piquant anec- dote respecting a journey of the German Emperor to Italy in 1864, when William I., then King of Prussia, was travelling incognito in Hungary. In the neighbor- hood ef Treplitz he met a judge leisurely walking on the high road and smoking a porcelain pipe. His Majesty accosted the functionary with his usual freedom— “Who are you, my man?” “Judge in the District Law Court,” replied the mag- istrate, a little surprised. isfied with your position “Then I congratulate you.” “Are you sat- “Certainly.” The King was moving off when the judge detained him, saving—*And you, my man,” he asked, “‘who are you?” The sovereign made a start of surprise; then, expecting to confound his questioner, “I am = the King of Prussia.” The Hungarian remain- ed impassible. ‘Are you satisfied with your position ?” “Certainly,” exelaimed William, disturbed by the the indifference of his interloentor. ‘Then I eongratu- late you,” said the Magyar, saluting His Majesty with an air of good fellowship, and continuing his promenade. 9°? ‘ —<_ = The baffled Bonapartis!s are venting their spite on the Paris Exhibition. En- vious of the prominence into which the world-show must bring the Republic, they are doing their best to spoil the snc cess of the scheme—snoering at the pre- parations which are being made, and pre- dicting that the enterprise will cover the nation with shame rather than glory. Some members of tho party, three of them dismissed policemen, let ther zeal against the Exhibition and for the Empire outrun their diseretion.

The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson connty as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public wentof the business men and of the interests of the county. The time hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have a public journal of its own to represent its inter- ests in the various afftirs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would not be geeatly benefited by a journal within its bonnds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it serves; and every citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberasy, as a means of increas: ing its usefulness and extending its intliuence at home and abvrord, The stronger it: becomes the ‘nore beneficial it’ will prove; and as the money required for its support is far less than the material good jt does, itis the best invest- mentany county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty ot every man to keep himeelf well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor ofa newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to hia readers the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be trne in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything elae; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by the fathers of 1776. The danger was immi- nent, the constant tendency fatal, but the cour- age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people. *While that party shall continue more pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it, But the main design of The Record is to serve the county of Davidson in all the waya it may be possible to advance her interests and pro- mote the welfare of her people. And to this end the undersigned desires snch intimate re- perform his daty efficiently. The paper will be published weekly at $1 year in advance. It will be small. but neatly printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes to make up In quality what may be lacking in size. The first number will appear about the first week in January, 1878. Very respectfulle, Cc. H. BRUNER, CONSUMPTION CURED.

To one who has been accustomed and associated frem childhood to green pills and groves, everything, either by resemblance or contrast, reminds me of home, wy dear, dear, sweet home nestled among the lofty mountains of my hative State, the history of which is linked with golden memories. And when I think of the ash and hawthorn blossoms which shed their perfume along the walks of my ehildhood’s home and the graceful undu- | Jation of hill and valley, 1 yearn in the | depth of my innermost sonl for the sight of them onee more. A diminutive hill or mountain as some call it, nearest, is seven | miles south of town. Itis the only one | tu relieve the great level. As a compen- will strike the prairie 3 and miles through sation for the want of hill and peak the prairie is superbly furnished with tlowers of every Variety, some of which are more handsome and beantiful than any of the houses. You ean find varieties of roses, | lilies, sweet williams, echrisanthemums aud cactnses without uumber. are they (the prairies) barren of fruits. Denton, I have been told, has a supertiu- ous supply of many kinds. Peaches I hear, are very fine—apples not so abun- dant. Plunis of every variety and flavor and in size, almost incredible to believe, and grapes to perfection. Berries not so plentiful, and bo blackberries but those cultivated in gardens, and strawberries, I dou’t know that there are any in the place. Since my last to you 1 have en- joyed the privilege of hearing the several ministers Who have churches here. ‘Phe Rev. Mr. Lampton, pastor of the Chiris- tian Church is very pleasing in his dis- courses, and without any vissible efforts, claims the attention of his congregation. Mr. Grafton, the Presbyterian (Cumber- land) seems to be a man of deep piety and the wise instruction which falls from his lips eannot be misunderstood or heard with indifference. Mr. Beecham the Bap- tist minister whom I heard yesterday is very pleasing in his style and speaks with much earnestness. In the evening of the same day he addressed a full house on temperance and his rebuke upon the per- verted taste of man was clear and concise, plainly showing that the strongest in body or mind are enervated by the evil habit and the indulgence of which will close against him the gate to all earthly glory, and obstruct his pathway to hea- ven. If I were gifted with the creative power of my friend T. K. B., I would give you a description of our yesterday trip to the country which wonld equal tho Black Mountain excursion. Monday morning four gentlemen, three ladies, two children and one servant. Our programme was to spend the day prospecting, so we took it leisurely stop}.ing occasionally to obtain information of the country or to rest. About twelve or one we halted for dinner.

(Retdsville Times.) HISTORY When Sherman’s army was just enter- ing Raleigh and Johnston’s army was passing through, several old gentlemen of the first prominence and station be- sieged Governor Vance in his office and besonght him to surrender to Sherman the keys of office and thus virtually to Now a few days before this Vance had made a talk to the boys in gray at Smithfield and told them that so long asa North Carolina soldier carried a imusket he should stick to them as the Governor of the State. Well. As John- ston’s army filed through the city the gal- lant Hoke’s division brought up the rear and Gen Hoke eatehing the news that efforts were then being made to have Vanee surrender to Sherman, he didn’t like it a bit; he would rather risk the chances of a lead bullet in his stomach than any such news as that, so the true and the chivalrous soldier halted the best picked company in’ his command and statiouing them at the capitol square he stepped in to see Gov. Vance on the subject, determined if the worst had to come, to capture Vanee and all the old men avd earry them off with the soldiers before the State by the civil authorities should be surrendered to Sherman. As Hoke entered he said: “Vance, you said at Smithfield that as longas « North Carolina soldier carried a gun you shoald stick to the government; now, come, and look out here,” and he motioned Vance to the window on Hillsboro street, down which his splendid division was then tramping. (The nervous old gentlemen were then huddled together into one cor- ner of the office,) Vance promptly re- plied ; ‘General I'll be with you to-night.” And sure enough he kept his word. That night he marched into camp and entering the general’s tent in rough mountain bey style he began to unshuck his breeches, and to the unanimous cry of ‘Governor, we are glad to see you,” he only respon- end the war. » t ’ , 1 l f ’ 1 by which he is sent. 3d. That he be of good meral charac- ter. : 4th. That he be of good capacity for usefulness. 5th. That he be without the requisite means to defray the necessary expenses of education. 6th. That he be prepared for admission into one of the classes of the University. It will be noticed that the appointee must be prepared to defray all expenses except tuition and room rent. It is earnestly requested that care shall be taken to appoint no one who is real- ly able to pay all expenses, as otherwise he may take the’ place of one better en- titled under the law. If any meritorious young man shall de- sire admission into the University, who cannot pay his tuition and room rent, and is unable to obtain the County appoint- ment, he should make application for ad- mission directly to the Faculty, who will be, as heretofore, liberal as the means of the University will allow. By Section 4 of said Act, it will be seen that those wishing to study the branches related to Agriculture and the Mechanic | Arts, may be admitted into the Univer- sity without standing an examination in Latin and Greek. Such persons shall sustain an approved examination in Arithmetic, Geography and Grammar. It is very important that all students shall join the University at the beginning of the session, viz.: the last Thursday in August of Each year; but tho Faculty will admit them at later perivds if they are properly qualified. Very respectfully, K. P. BATIeLe. President. ~~ -- —- EXTRACTS FROM THE PROCEED- INGS OF THE STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY. BOARD OF MEDICAL EXAMINERS. Dr. Satchwell moved that the society proceed to the election, by ballot, of the State Board of Medical Examiners, as the term of the present board had expired by law. He accompanied his motion with some forcible remarks on the importance of the board as a most valuable auxiliary in the great cause of medical improve- ment and reform in the State and its assis- tance in the needed works ofa higher stan- dard of qualifications on the part of those turned loose annually as doctors upon the community; having for six years been a member of the board he knew something of its arduous labors and res- ponsibilities and was opposed to the clection of any one as a member who was not known to possess a high personal and professional character. The members should be selected from every section of the State, He nominated the following ticket, which was duly elected: Drs. T. F. Wood, H. R. Bahnson, T. D. Haigh, G. L. Kirby, P. E. Hines, Joseph Graham and R. H. Hicks. The chairman of the committe on Cre- dentials stated that applications were frequently made four membership by per- sons not present at the meeting. He in- formed the friends of all such that it is essential that the applicants be present tu sign the constitution and by-laws. BOARD OF EXAMINERS. The Board of Medical Examiuvers for the State at large, composed of Drs. C. J. O'Hagan, G. A. Foote, W. A. B. Norcom, C. T. Murphy, R, L. Payne and C. Duffy are now in session. There are many applicants present for examination to obtaln certificates of com- petency. As the law now stands no man can legally practice medicine in the State or collect his fees, unless he has obtained his certificate from the board. We mn- derstand that the Medical Society is tak- ing steps to bring the matter prominent- ly before the people in order that they may know who are dodging the examina- tions, and thereby guard themselves against imposters. It will be well for executors and administrators in the set- tlement of estates toask the doctor who presents his bill to show his« certifi- cate. We understand that the present board has given general satisfaction, and is composed of some of the ablest medical gentlemen. ~—_>- Gold Hill, N.

This change will require the building of only a few miles of new road and will be quite an improvement over the present arrange- ment. This change will be heartily wel- comed by the people of Newton and will meet the approbation of the citizens of thewounty at large and the traveling pub- lit ‘generally. Mr. Gates, the Master Machinest, re- cently gathered up all the old rails and useless irons along the road and shipped them to Richmond, Va., in exchange for new wheels and trucks for the frieght cars. This is an act of economy which should be appreciated by the Company. Thus the rolling stock is kept in condi- tion merely by gathering up and selling the old irons and rails which would other- wise be eaten up by rust.—Piedmont Press. EO ——__—_ A NEW CEREAL DISCOVERED. From the Ventura Free Press, We have been shown a new grain dis- covered about four years ago by a farmer in Surprise Valley, in the northern part of California, taken from the crop of a wild goose which had been shot by the farmer. He sowed the seed immediately after it was taken from the garner of the bird’s crop, and it produced more than a hundred fold. Mr. Merithew, a farmer of this country, being on a visit to Surprise Valley, obtained some few seeds of the new grain, and succeeded in propagating it with wonderful success on his farm in Butte county. The straw and beardless head resemble wheat; the grain looks a little like rye, but is twice as large as rye.—When cut as it is passing into the milk it makes a hay even superior to wheat hay. Mr. Merithew has on hand several tons of hay from this new variety of grain, and perhaps five bushels of its seed. He gave about two quarts of the seed to one of our citizens lately visiting Butte connty, who was struck with the wonderful beauty of this new cereal, and bronght it to southern California for pro- pagation. Thomas R. Bard has taken the seed and proposes to give it a thorough test upon the rich alluvial lands of the Colonia rancho, near the sea-shore. It could not have fallen into the hands of a more intelligent and painstaking cultiva- tor. It appears to us every way superior to rye, and may prove to be of great util- ity, as it isa fine grower and very produc- tive. a OS OE ____ NO OCCUPATION—A GRAVE MIS- TAKE, We recently read a sad letter from an ambitious young man. He had been un- fortunate in some respects, bat life lay before him, and he was ambitious: he had experienced, however, a double mis- fortue in this world, iu which there is so much to do, from not knowing haw to do anything. ‘My father,” he wrote, did pot think it worth while for me to learn any trade or business.” He had been thrown on his own resources, and, al- though now a man in stature and years he was a mere infant in his capacity to earn a living. How awkward! What a misfortune! Yet such cases frequently come under our observation ; and they lead us to look upon the culpability as very great of any parent who brings up a son without having him practically and earning an honest living. Every man should have some profession or trade ; should know how to do something. Then, whether he steadfastly pursues it or not, he at least has an occupation to which ency he may resort, for the support of himself and others who may be dependent upon him. A practical know-nothing is greatly to be pitied in this practical world.—New York Ledger. —-— ~anrr- If Mr. Hayes feels that he was fairly in an emerg ent rida there is no reaso have light thrown upon all the dark cor- narily meet a demand of investigation in this way. thoroughly instructed in some way of itled to the votes of Louisiana and Flo- n why he should complain that his friends are willing to ners.

Pe Wife.—What do you think the beauti- ful word “wife” comes from? It is the great word in which the English and La- tin langages conquered the French and Greek. I hope the French will some day get a word for it instead of that dreadful word femme. But what de you think it comes from? The great value of the Saxon words is, that they mean something. Wife means “weaver.” You must either be housewives or house-moths; remembir that. In the deep sense, you must either weave men’s fortunes and embroider them, or feed upon them and bring them to decay. Wherever a true wife comes, home is always around her. The stars may be over her head; the glow worm in the night-cold grass may be the fire at her foot ; but home is where she is; and fora noble woman it stretches far around her, better than houses ceiled with cedar or painted with vermillion, shed- ding its quiet light far for those who else are homeless. This I believe to be the woman's true place and power.— Ruskin. Lighting a Room by its Wall Paper.— Referring to the suggestion made in Ger- many that wall paper could be coated with oxalate of copper, which appears lighter as the room grows darker, and vice versa the Manufacturer and Builder advances the idea that a room might be made temporarily seH-laminous by simi- lar means. There are several salts which absorb light exposed to it, and give it out afterwards. Among these are the sul- phides of barium and strontiam, and cer- tain coal-tar extracts of the anthracene series. The best way to produce the effect would be to employ a powerful electric light in the room for a short time, until the wall paper has acquired its phosphor- escent power, and then cat off the elec- tricity and admit visitors into the room. Anything more weird than such an apart- ment is scarcely conceivable, and the ex- periment would not be exceedingly costly. It might be employed with surprising effect in the initiation performances of a secret society. oe Some Physiological Facts.—Prof. Garrod in a recent lecture brought into promin- ence some well-known physiological facts which deserve more attention than they usually receive. In expiration the car- bonic acid is thrown to a considerable dis- tance from the nostrils, and is, conse- quently, not taken back by the next in- spiration. If at night, however, the bed- clothes happen to fall over the face, the éurrent of carbonic acid is obstructed and is inhaled again and again, producing mis- cheivous effects. Air should not enter the lungs at a temperature much below that of the blood, and the habit of breathing through the nose in cold weather should be cultivated. The protoplasmatic vital- ity of the body led, in the opinion of the professor, to the oxidation of pabulum supplied and the formation of carbonic acid, just the same as muscular work. —_~-~e-_—__—_ Death from Studying Nineteen Hours a Day. “Templeton” writes to the Hartford Courant: “The death of the Harvard University student, Waters, is a sad affair, and will be likely to cast a gloom over the coming class day. Waters was a young man of intense ambition to excel in scholarship, and finally developed a mania for studying, that he might keep his place in the senior class. He is said to have worked in this way nineteen hours without cessation, either for eating or sleep. It brought on insanity, and he was sent to the hospital at Worcester, where he lived less than a week. He had been already elected poct of the class.” —_~—4— Russian Agents in the Philadelphia Ship Yards.

The faeulty wil] consist of twelve in- structors. Prof JJ Ladd will have gey- al charge of the normal school, apd will deliver lectures on school disciptine, meth- ods of ingtruction, nization, legal re- lations, etc. Professors Dens aud Melver will have charge of grammar and geo- graphy, Major Jed Hotchkiss, of Stauy- tun, Va., will deliver lectures on geogra- phy, and Professor Madison Watson, of New York, author of the “National Read- er,” and other school books, will give special instruction in elvcution. Prof W H Page, of Johns Hopkins University, will give regular instruction in Euglish grammar and analysis, and special in struction in English philology. Mr MC 8 Noble, late of the Bingham school, will give regular instruction in Latin, this department being divided into three clas- ses. Professor Graves, of rhe Universi- ty, will gill give instruction in algebra. Professor Grandy will instruct in chem- istry, Profesaor E H Wilson in vocal music, and the services of Miss E M Cue, of New York, a skillfal and successful kindergarteu teacher and lecturer, have been secured. Profeasor W C Kerr, State Geologist, wil] deliver a special course of lectures oa North Curvlina geology and climatology, and lectureres on subjects to be chosen by themselves will be deliver- el regularly by mem eminent in science aud letters. No one ean estimate the benefits which attentive and industrious persons may derive from these exercises; and when we consider that it is given gratuitously, & person who expects to make teaching a profession is hardly excusabie for neg- leeting to improve the privileges thus tendered him. The only expenses wil! be in traveling to and from Chapel Hill and board while there. —— a i: . HowkL. Parker awp Bites Mine, STANLY Uo., Priday, May 26, 1873. There is a new impetus in the milning Interest at this place jnat now, owing to some recent well-paying fludings, These mnines, though seperate interests, are both ou the same ridge and probably the same vein, wrich «juartz, which require to be thoroughly redaced in a Stump mill and gathered in the usaal way. [learn about 800 penyweights have been mado by a few hands in the course of 8 or 10 days’ time. I had the pleasure of weeting, ut this place, Dr. Kanes, why bas been en- gaged for a year or two prospec|ing and operating in Montgomery chiefly, but al- 80 in this county. Hoe ja here for the pur- pose of securing an interest in thesc mines, which, with his experience and knowledge of the subject of mining, may be regarded AS & favorable omen as to the charaster of thig property. It is held by men of solid substance, intelligent and enterprising (Thos. Biles one part, aud the heirs of Parker the other), who know the value of the property, aud will not be apt to sell or lease except npon very liberal terms. It is paying handsomely even though the ores have to be sent off by wagon two miles to the Crowell mill to be reduced. The ridge ou which this “Howell-Par- ker’ mine is situated, is at least four miles iy extent, rauning north-east and south- west. The “Paskey" has been known and worked as a surfage wipe, with occasional intermissions for about 80 yegra, Latter- ly veins of rich quartz ore hase been found and worked to various depths not exceeding one hundred feet. utd has been and continnes to be found at numer- ous places along this ridge. Indeed, it may be found in small quantities on the surface and in the ravives and branches anywhere in the neighborhood. Some of the more valuable discoveries are known by the following names; yee Poe} mines, op the same hill. Crowell mine, now worked by Jofferson Crowell. Dan’ Harris mine, on which Dy, Bames is now Troutman mine, not now mych worked. David Kendall mine, some work going on there WIth band rockers. Jennings Crowell! mine. Solomon Mjjler mine.

The wheat crop, along the road from Salisbury to this place, js acgrcely an ay- erage. Nearly all of it shows more or less rust, and the heads generally have a very dwarfish look. If it were on the red lands of Rowan, I would call it a failuse. Bag this slaty soil may give it a different out. some ju pogults. It is claimed that Stan- ly produses a better wheat than Rowan, ang perhaps a better average per acre. I think orops geperally are a little behind, for the time of ypar. I met here, also, Mrs. M. A. Smith, of Baltimore, the ouly repregey tative with a legal right in ap aucestral property known, < ; a7, aig t : Gf soil yeas ade wa that a suit, runving through a life time, was fi- nally decided fu favor of the Nall repre- sentatives, and is now the property Mrs. Smith. She isthe neiee of the dis- i My - well and favorably known in the Southern. States as a great revive'ist; and like her venerable uncle, is a persou of fine appear- ance, aud one of the best talkers I have ever met. Mr. Biles, the proprietor of this place, is one of the really substantial wen of the county, and though iv his 79th year, is yet a pretty vigorous man, retaining his faculties in a good degree. Blessed with a good memory, he can entertain hia friends with stories and incidents of the “long ago,” by the hoar. I had a seven- miles buggy ride with him last Saturday morning, aud though we traveled ata rate tru:y merciful to the twenty-year-old mule in the harness, (which kind. treat- ment has kept in excellent condition,) time and weariness were lost in the cheer- ful conversation we had by the way. While passing ander a dogwood tree on the road-side, we frightened a big black snake which was stretched across its lower limbs, wateh.ag to spring on the first bird that might tly into the tree, aud he fell on the mule’s buck, but quickly wriggled off, and landed on the gronad in time and position to have both the fore and_hind wheels of the buggy to cross his back. By purely “good luck,” I suppose, he was net dam- aged cither by the full or the wheels, but slipped away imto the bushes as though nothing had happened. I said to the old gentleman—“if it had fallen across our knees it would have wade us jump!” “Yes,” and he laughed at the thought, and went on to say: “I’m not afraid o. snakes, but never took that foolish pride in haud- ling them that I have seen some men take; nor have Lever approved of the habit of that mischievous disposition sometimes met with among young people of searing others by throwing dead suakea at or uear them when they are not expecting such a thing. It is daugerons to produce such frights as thoughtless people some- times make ju that way.” And he then related the story of a lad fy his neighbor- hood when he was young, who was sent out into a pasture to bridle and bring in a horse that was feeding in the field. The lad went off with his arm through the beadstall of the brille and the reins held up in his hand. And while walking through the rank weeds, being nervously afraid of snakes, something frightened him and made him juinp, and thinking it was a snake, looked back and saw a “ra- cer,” us he thought, at his heels. He broke and ran with all his wight, yelling at every jump, ‘so-ho! daddy! so-ho! daddy !” and never stopped until he fell into the door of daddy's house, in a faint- ing conditon. It was ascertained at once that there was no anake in the caac, but the bluck peins of the bridle trailing be- hind hin, a glimose of which he often saw ashe made bis dreadful race, was the only foundation for his big scare. NARROWS, Montcomeny Country, May 2x, 1873. There is a perceptible improvement in the agricultural interesta in that part of Stanly embracing the valley of the Yad- kin, the results of which are manifested in and farm houses. But the most gratify - ing evidence of progress in the neighbor- hood of the Narrows, is the establish- went pf a classical school, affording edu- cation, | advantages unknown in this place heretofore, The location is oo a high, dry ridge, about one mile from the Nar- rows, and neara ygloable mineral spring. The neighborhood is thickly settled by an lutelligent and thriving people who take a very lively interest in the school, and through whose efforts in its behalf, jt is attracting pupils from thia and adjoining counties. ‘lhe country is very healthy, aud board and tuition low. The present proprietors of the school, Messrs, (). C, and James Hamilton, brothers, are graduates of Triuity College, and their success as teachers for the last two years is the best evideuce of their qualitications for the re- sponsible duties they are discharging. The auuual examination takes place on: ‘I'ges- day, to be followed by more public exer- aioe the noxe day, of whirn I may have something to say hereafter, There js a large quantity of untilled farming lauds of excellent qaality on the east side of the yiyer near this place. It is hilly and rocky, but the soil seems to be inexhaustible. Fie)ds whieh have been cultivated for a hundred years, still yield abundaut crops of corn, wheat, cotton, to- bacco, &c. All the Various fruits, large and small, flourish to perfection. I be- lieve there is no better sheep range ju the State, and am sorry to learn that this sec. tion which could be nrade immeuse)y yal. wable iu this branch of business is not ex- pmpt from the cur-dog and fox-bound blight. And just here it may be predict- but | ed that the people will yet put backbone = thejr representatives and have a dog aw. The Jyver of nature in her wilder moods may obtain a whole day’s ramble in this Vicinity equal to gny reasonable desire, The Ygdkin river sweeps around from north to east, forming ® semi-circle, and with the Uwharie, which empties into it four or five miles below, approximates the horse-shoe shape. Within thege cireular are estimated to be about 15,- 00 acres of land, and on it all not exceed- ing eight or nine resident families of peo- ple, aud they mostly on the borders. The country is hilly, mountainous in fact, abounding with rocks ang goyered by the improvement of residences and farms | of | and tinguished Preshyterian Evangelist 80 Pa upon its mosses with a Other animals also enjoy freedom here— coon, While “old molly hare” has nothing to. fear from man aud but little from curs of low degree. It would make a valuable sheep range, for theagh in the main the soil is thin, it is covered with grasses and under-growth on which they could feed nearly the whole year round, and the rocky ¢liffs and steep hill-sides would afford theri fine shelter from the ern stornis. Tu the midst of this wilderness is the grave of a woman. This lonely spot of sepuleher is known us “Beck's grave ;” and the history of it is brief. She was a slave woman, the property of his worship-, ful Joba ¢ ‘lived and died on the estaté now ‘by Mr. J. F. Cot- ton, aud whose femaius, with those of his wife, were baried ou the hill whereon bis late. residence formerly | stood. It was more than sixty years ago when Beck with a jovial company went through this wilderness to the “Falls” to spend Easter with the people who were wont in those times to assemble there in great numbers to catch fish, eat ginger cakes, drink cider- rvyal, and spend the day in pleasure-seek- ing. Eastez was then an annual re-union of the people fur miles arfound—a hap- py day for all classes in which the slaves were allowed to share. ‘I'radition hath it that Beck was very happy on that fatal day, and took rather more drink than she could safely carry home. She lingered behind her company in the even- ing returning, and fell in this wilderness, under what precise circumstances could never be ascertained, though conjecture connected her death with the free indul- gences of the day. When found the cou- dition of her body rendered it necessary to make the burial without delay, aud with little ceremony, near the spot on which she lay. The pines above her grave yet singin every breeze a moaning an- them, subdued but grand and solemn. Few have a more undisturbed resting place, or a wilder domain to wander is if spirits may retarn to earth. Near Beck’s grave is a mound of stoves, now only about tive fect high and tweuty- eight feet iu diameter, supposed to have been thrown up by the aboriginal inhabi- tants of the coautry. [thas never been thoroughly examined, but it is not im- probable it cyvers the remains of sume indian bruye er chief. A white ouk tree growing on its summit has sent down its roots umong the stones, may be to feed ou royal dust beneath. The tree is now nearly two feet iu diaweter and shows no signs of decay, though it must be from 150 to 200 years since it Spring from the acorn, The south-southweat bend of the river forming the boundaries of this wilderness is the poiut at which the “Falls” are to be found. The land on the inner side breaks of abruptly, showing a rucky cliff vary- ing from 20 to 100 feet iu perpendicular height, Indeed, the waters of the river seem ty haye cut gway the oarth and Stoves, scattering the debris along the shore below. Iv several places these clitfs hang suspended ovet the head of the pe- destrian near the water's edge, with such au apparent slender hold that persons of weak uverves iustinctively spring from un- der the immense blue flint stones, which look as if they must fall in a moment. Both here and at the Narrows, 24 miles above, are indubitable evidences of a long and releutless war between the waters of the river and the rocky ridges of the land. How long the ceaseless din and roar of conflict bas gone on can never be known, The slick, water-worn stoves, honey- combed by whirling pebbles, and abraded by falling and rubbing against each other, betray the violenge of the waters. These evidences lie around by the million. We are on them at every step; the foot ean- pot avoid them ; many of thein are won- derfully fantastic ang surprisingly beau- tiful, varying in size from the grain of sand te bowlers aud blocks ef a thou- sand tona. The river here is mach wider than at the Narrows: The “Falls” are a suc- cession of rocky ridges stretching across the river, mostly under water, bunt in places Standing above it. Here and there are breaks in these ridges through which deep slucics of water are rushivg, and over these slucies the fisherman stands with his dip-net —dipping, dipping—to catch the fi.hes which attempt to pass through them. The water scenery here is nothing to compare to the Narrows where the whole volume of the river, more than 1200 feet Wide above, is driven with fury through a Space of only 60 feet. The Narrows are nearly half a mile long, varying in this distange from 60 to 100 feet in width, and waters rysh throngh with a force almost equal to oye, But no description of the scenery either at the FaJJs or the Narrows can convey an adequate ide, of it. It must be seen to be apprecigted, The geologist will find these places aboypding with interesting subjects of ingnjry and thought. It would seem that the pregent course of the river is not the origingl one, but that these rocky barriers af one time checked and turned it jn some other route ; and that its passage Lore js due to some accjduptal j degree of security now rarely to be en-| keenest wintry winds and bitterest east- |. though there js nothing like a cataract the po owners, among which are the in Eldorado township alone : Crump mine. ~ Davis Russel mine.

A shuffling sound at the door brought him back to earth, and facing nervously about, he beheld a man, of deep, determined look, closing the door behind him. Witha sickly feeling of foreboding, the editor motioned toward a chair, and gazed upon the intruder, help- less and breathless, resigned to meet the worst. The hand of the mau wandered toward his breast pocket. The editor's cheek blanch- ed and his lips turned blue. Alas! alas Be had guessed aright the dread mission of the stranger. The man pulled out a bundle of letters and papers. ‘The head of the editor fell forward upon his breast, and the hands dropped listless from the arms ofhis chair. “My errand is not a pleasant one,” said the visitor, speaking slowly. “Thank heaven !” exclaimed the editor, plucking up courage. “Out with it—sus- pense is worse than fate.” “IT have an execution on your home,” continued the man, with professional sad- ness. ‘The mortgage has been foreclos- ed.” *Hoora! ha! ha!” reared the editor, springing up, and nearly shaking the man’s arm off. “fleaven be praised! but what a scare you did give me!

The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public went of the business men and of the interests of the county. The time hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have a public journal of its own to represent its inter- ests in the various affairs of business, local and general. There is no county in the State that would not be greatly benefited by a journal within its bounds especially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it server; and every citizen should give it his countenance and support it liberally, ae a means of increas: ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the more beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for its support is far less than the material good it does, it is the best invest- ment any county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country, 1f it is the duty ot every man to keep himself well informed in respect to public affairs, and totake a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor ofa newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to his readers the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be trne in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabled to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. Ile believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil ’ liberty that we now enjoy.

Dear Watchman:—May morning’s smile hmples the wheat fields, now heading out nd rejoicing in the fresh promise of an rly harvest.

The Polish | wheat has a long chaff, which is much longer than the seed, a large oblong seed, and an ear cylindrical in appearance, and is a delicate spring wheat not very pro- ductive in England. The hard wheats contain much more gluten than the soft wheats ; and this causes the Italian wheats to be used exclusively for the tes which form a large portion of the food of that pation. The far-famed Vermicelli is a dried paste, manufactured chiefly in It- aly, in the form of sooth, round strings. It derives its name from its worm-like ap- pearance ; vermicelli in Italian signifies ‘Jittle worms.” Maccaroni is manufact- ured of the same kind of paste as vermi- celli, and in a similar manner, but is rath- er larger in diameter, and hollow like the ; tube of a tobaceo-pipe. Fedelini isa kind still smaller than vermicelli. The soft wheats contain the greatest | quantity of starch, which fits them for the vinous fermentation, by its conversion into sugar and alcohol; and for brewing and distilling are therefore the best. The distinction between the winter and summer wheats arises entirely from the season in which they have been usually sown. to each other, by sowing earlier or later, and gradually accelerating or retarding their growths. They can be readily converted in- The differeuce in color between red and white wheats is owing White wheats gradu- lose their color, and become first yellow and then white on rich, lightand mellow soils. We Americans, according to Barnum, love to be humbugged ; and we have all sorts of wonderful wheats, with high- sounding names, such as Egyptian, Mum- my, Baltimore, Prolific, &c., &e. The big- wheat man is always “abroad” more than the “schoolmaster,” in the shape of ok circulars, pvewspaper-advertisements an swindling agents. will pay no attention at all to these pre- Well-informed men tended heirs of Christopher Columbus, who have discevered, to hear them tell it, a new world for agriculturists, where wheat produces grains as big as pumkins and a great deal plentier than blackberies. Most of the so-called claims of superior wheat are not worth any saue man’s can- did, serious notice. The owners of the superior stock of wheat are the cultivators thereof, in England, Pennsylvania, Mary- land, Ohio and elsewhere; and they are completely out of and above the finernal agency business. The alarming decrease in the average yield of wheat to less than one-half what it was twenty-five years agu is a subject, on the other hand, which well deserves deep study, careful experiments and ex- tended conferences between enlightened farmers. In this regard, these questions natural- ly arise: Does it result from the degener- acy and exhaustion of the soil? Has the eycle of the seasons become so far altered from its ancient round as to be positively inimical and unsuited to the production of this delicious grain? Has the seed de- teriorated so much that itis no longer wheat, such as our sturdy forefathers scat- tered broadcast over the land and reaped in bounteous plenty ? More manures and fertilizers are now used than ever. Science racks her brain to compound the best. These have all been useless, if the land is running out. Deep and long-lying snows make the crop better. But do not facts show the winters were as severe then as now. Cli- mate don’t seem to have much to do with it: Carcless management has deteriorated the seed—that anybody ought to admit, Cutting on “the green order, threshing and cleaning hurriedly, roughly and slo- venly, and sweating and moulding in the garner—all these have something to do with it, we must believe. If seed wheat had been treated and selected as carefully as corn and garden-seed, it surely would not have deteriorated much more than ae ; and they have not deteriorated at all. The care of this delicate grain has been committed, in our times, to idle and in- competant hands, who took no interest iu the matter. ‘The care-for-nothing treed- man, and not Cincinnatus, has got to holding the plow and handling the grain. The fields are cut green whenever the la- borers are few, the tools are poor or the opportunity to “borrow” is good to “save them from loss.” The thresher comes along—mashes and bruises the wheat from the stalk in a staving hurry, collects his toll, gets on to the “next barn” as soon as possible. Bushels upon bushels are heap- ed up together, to sweat and mould and deteriorate. Not so once, when the work was done carefully and nicely and intelli- gently. Men and agriculture have somewhat declined. “In ancient times, the sacred plow em- ployed The kings and awful fathers of mankind; And some, with whom compared your insect tribes Are but the beings of a summer’s day, Have held the seales of empire, ruled the storm Of mighty war; then, with unwearied hand, Disdaining little delicacies, seized The plow, and greatly independent lived.” E.

Dear WATCHMAN :—While we read of a “man of sorrows,” and of Christ hay the older Christians, a and divines, from Paul and Peter down through the ages of Luther and Melanchton and on- ward to such men as Dr. Edward Payson, Cotton Mather and Dr. Alexander, often being dissatisfied with their state and bewailing their lack of - ality, it has become the fashion for - er and the balance of such modern puppets to set. up a new model of ch and make way for the rightful against whom, even then, wil lie the charge ot “Mexi | ernment.

They pretend never to weep. They don’t go intoa pulpit, high and solemn, but step with a flourish upon a gay ros- trum, bedecked with flowers and gew- saws, culled and arranged by the Mrs. iltons of the congregation. They hate sorrow—it is so unbecoming so utterly strange and foreign a word in the vocabulary of the laughing Chistian. They tell anecdotes, and interlard their sermons with politics, commercial panics, houses on fire and lots of other sensa- tional trash. The devil sits up in the gallery, looking on delighted, and laugh- ing with no assumed hilarity. Alas! for for such Christianity I must say I would not exchange the ancient sort, no more than I would give the Kohnimoor dia- mond for a pewter spoon. Verbum sat, Le. Eo H: > aa THE PRESIDENTIAL TITLE, There is trouble at the White House. Yesterday we had Postmaster-General Key’s address to his fellow citizens of the South, warning them to flee from the wrath tocome. To-day’s telegrams an- nounce Mr. Hayes’ views in entire accord with those of his cabinet officer, and also deny that he has given any expression to them. It is manifest, however, that an attempt is to be made by the administra- tion to scare people into opposition to the intended exposure of fraud by talk of ‘‘Mexicanizing” the Government. The word is in constant use among the Radi- cals since the passage of the Potter reso- lution of investigation into the alleged frauds in Louisiana and Florida, and we are daily informed by the Rrdical press that Democrats, in the adoption of sneh a resolution, are bent on ‘Mexicanizing” the Government. As we said yesterday the nearest ap- proach to “Mexicanization” we have had or are likely to have, was made in the winter of 1876-77 when Mr. Hayes was made President somewhat after the Mexi- can fashion. The essence of the Mexican system is to permit an adventurer to get into the Presidency by bargain and fraud and then to keep in by intrigue or force. The word itself, says our excellent cotem- porary, the Savannah News, is derived from the custom, which prevails in Mex- ico, as in all other Spanish-American countries, regarding the treatment of a President in office when dissatisfaction ex- ists against his addministration. Thisis not to wait for him to serve out his term, but to collect a force, make war upon him, turn him out without ceremony, and de- clare for his succesor toserve antil his time for being likewise treated arrives. To assert that the Democracy, or any portion of the inhabitants of the United States, intend to adopt any such plan of procedure at avy time is to assert a most flagrant absurdity, and this, of course, the Rdaicals perfectly well know. But giving them the credit for ordinary intel- ligence, it is to be presumed that by the term ‘“‘Mexicanizing the government” they mean to convey the idea that the ultimate object of these investigations is to fix the stigma of fraud upon Mr. Hayes’ title that he will no longer be able to occupy a position for which he was a defeated candidate. It has been so often declared that the question of Mr. Hayes’ title is a matter entirely separate and distinct from the proposed investigations, that it is almost superfluous to repeat the assertion. The object of the resolution, as time and again published, is simply to ascertain if the statements made by McLin, Dennis etal., to the effect that the will of the people of the sovereign States of this Un- ion was treasonably set aside by fraud and trickery, are true. It is to find out whether notjSherman’s Noyes and their confederates did malicionsly and wick- edly, instigated by the devil, and having no fear of God before their eyes, enter into a conspiracy to trample upon and cast aside the fundamental principles upon which this government is founded and instal in office a candidate for the Chief Executive of the nation who had been rejected at the ballot-box. Sach charges have frequently been made against these men, and allowed to pass by unno- ticed ; but when at length two promi- nent participators in the conspiracy made confession of the same, nothing was left for the National Legislature to do but to inquire if the constitutional rights of the people in this matter had been violated, as alleged, and if they had, to make trea- son forever odious by punishing the of- fenders. Respect for the good name and fair fame of the government of which it is aco-ordinate branch forced this step upon the Congress of the nation. But suppose, as the result of this in- i. ~ sd ee eel inet and managers of the Radical par- ty, and the Democracy, 0 far from doing what those very men to-day charge upon them, will rather un-Mexicanize an alrea- dy Mexicanized government. Therefore, if these leadors and managers are wise they will cease throwing stones, for they live in a house of very brittle glass, which can easily be demolished.— Raleigh Ob. rT PETE ON THE 'POSSUM HUNT.

I hav finally come to the conclusion that lager becr as a beverage is not in- toxicating. I have been told by a German who said he had drunk it all nite long just to try the experiment, and was oblidged to go home entirely sober in the morning. I have seen this same man drink eighteen glasses, and if he was drunk it was iu German, and nobody could understand it. It is proper enuff to state that this man kept a lager beer saloon; could have no object in stating what was strictly thus. I believe him to the full extent of my bility. I never drank but three glasses of lager beer in my life, and that made my head outwist as tho it was hung on the end of a string, but I was told that it was owing to my bile being out of place ; and I guess that it was so, for I never biled over was than I did.when I got hom that nite. My wife thot I was going to die, and I was afraid that I shouldn’t for it seemed as tho everything I had ever eaten in my life was coming to the sur- face ; and I believe that if my wife hadn’t pulled off my boots just when she did, they would have come thundering up too. O, how sick I was! 14 years ago and I can taste it now. I never had so much experience in 80 short a time. Ifany man shud tell me that lager beer was not intoxicating, I shad believe him; but if he shud tell me that I wasn’t drunk that nite, but that my stammick wag out of order, shad ask him to state over a few words just how a man felt and acted when he was set up. If I warn’t drunk that nite, I had some of the most natural simtams that a man ever had and kept sober. me most almighty mean, that I know. Still I hardly think that lager beer iz intoxicating, for I have been toldso; and Tam probably the only man living who ever drunk eny when his liver was not plumb. I don’t want to say anything against a harmless temperance beverage, but if ever I drink eny more, it will be with my hands tied behind and my mouth pried open. I don’t think lager beer is intoxicating, but if I remember rite, I think it tasted to me like a glass of soap suds that a pickle had been put tew soak in. EE Oe ee A SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION. The cat, be it remembered, is more ad- dicted to electricity than any other ani- mal, except the electrical eel, and hence is peculiarly susceptible to the infiuence of the earth currents. So long as the cat walks over fences running from north to south his axis is coincident with the direction of these currents. They pass smoothly through his spinal column, and beyond gently stimulating his mind and tail, they have no perceptibie effect upon him. When, however, he tries to walk on a fence built, parallel to the equator, his private axis becomes perpendicular to the earth-currents. They penetrate into his vitals and wrench him all to pieces in their efforts to force their way through him. Filled with anguish, he stops, clings fiercely to the fence, and lifts up his voice in frenzied agony. To some extent the muscles of his legs are paralyzed, and tre is unable to move un- til the unfeeling boot-jack comes hurt- ling through the air and stimulates him into action. He then springs from the fence, his pains vanish and his voice is silent. tific explanation of the question which has so long defied the ablest scientific minds. We thus see how beautiful are the reasoning processes by which true science investigates abstruse questions. We also see that one of the most common incidents of every-night life is due to the electricity of the earth. Let us, then, be thankful that we live‘in a scientific age and that there are more uses for elec- tricity than any one has yet dreamed off. OU rr oor A FEW ITEMS FOR MOTHERS TO READ. A correspondent, in writing to the Middleton Press, offers the following seasonable suggestions to mothers of af- flicted children : We hope that the mothers will remem- ber that good brandy is acure for sum- mer complaint; in bad cases a_ teas- poonful in milk three or four times a day. A flannel cloth, wet in hot brandy, or better, camphor and brandy mixed and heated, will relieve the pains in the sto- mach and bowels. Bits of scraped ice are better on the tongue than drinks of water. For stings aud poisons, a strong solu- tion of saleratus and waters immediate- ly and then frequently applied gives relief and sure cure. For burns, an immediate application of flours covering the burn and wrapped so as to exclude the air; then burn lard till it is quite brown and apply, and re- lief and cure will soon come.

The man changed it, and the traveler passed on. Presently, along came another taveler, and stopped to watch the process, sug- gested some other improvement, which the man made. Not long after a third came and tendered his advice, which was accepted. The man having finished the canoe, after the wishes of the travel- ers, suspended it from a tree, and com- menced to make another after bis own ideas ; so when the fourth traveler came along and asked him why he did this and that, the man looked up quietly and said: “See here, stranger, this is my canoe; there’s everybody’s canoe up in that tree.” Or or FISH BY THE SQUARE MILE. Some faint idea of the vast and imex- haustible number of fish on our shores (says a recent issue of the Hartford Times) may, perhaps, be obtained by a consider- ation of the fact that yesterday, no fewer than 6,000 barrels of porgies were caught off Newport. If the sea, through the Vine- yard and Long Island Sounds, is any- where near as rich in porgtes, mossbun- kers, and other varieties of the most abun- dant kinds of fish, what an unimaginably teeming world of life there must be be- neath the waves! than the striving, pushing world of hu- man life, a scene of rapacity and destruc- tion—the stronger preying apon the weak er and ‘the survival of the fittest.” Enor- mous as this single day’s catch of porgies secms, it is surpassed by some of the big hauls of bony-fish or mossbunkers—the “whitefish” of the evil-smelling fish oil mills on the shore. These creatures act- ually swarm in millions and are caught and hauled in by the cargo. voracious bluefish pursue and drive them flipping and flashing to the surface, where they are promptly pounced upon by the sailing fish hawks and sea galls that wait for them out of the water. In the sea and on the land the world seems to be a scene of shark and tiger, in one or another form of destructive rapacity. a + Pills may sometimes fail to act on the liver, but sawing wood never will.

I am averse to dnd deprecate such a contro- versy, buf byonture te trust that, under the circumstatices, I sball be pardoned ‘for engaging in it now only in defence of my- self. During the time I have been in the Sen- ate, matters aad questions of the most com- plicated and embarrassing character, and many of them of grave moment to the whole country and particularly to the Southern States and people bave come before that bedy for consideration and actiyp. I have voted upon all, and discussed, toa greater or less extenxt, most of the important ones. It could hardly be expected that I would m»ke no mistakes. I am, however, gratified te know that no serious objection has been taken to my course of conduct asa Senator. 1 have endeavored to serve my State and ple and the whole country faithfully, and [ challenge the closest scrutiny of my conduct and record. I think I can truth- fully sa °, that I have not neylected the bus- iness interests of any one, rich or poor, white or black, and without regard to party affili- fations, when the same have been brought to my attention and I might be properly charged with them. And while[ have paid due regard tu the highest interests of the country and particularly those of the peo- le whose immediate servant Iam, I have bas ever faithful to the Democratic party In matters of substance there seems to be no complaigt or ground of complaint against me. The single charge against me, that Ihave heard of, 18 alleged insubordination to the Democratic caucus in the Legislature in 1872, on the occasion of my election to the Senate of the United States; and in that connection, collusion with the Republican members in the Legislature to secure their votes for myself for Senator. This charge J flatly deny. It is utterly false in substance and detail, and 1 chal- lenge any one to produce aught in proof of it. [t has been said. and eften repeated, that those Democratic gentlemen in the Legisla- ture who supported me for Senator and my- relf “bolted” the Democratic caucus. This is not trne, and those who say 80, cither do not knew the facts, or they are unacquainted with party usage and practice, er they wil- fully pervert the truth. In fact, I expressly refused to submit to or be bound by the action of the caucus, and the gentlemen re- ferred to refused to go into or be bound by it, or its action, because it had been ‘“pack- ed” by Governor Vance. Governor Vance tuld me in plain terms, and did not deny it afterwards, that he had a majority of the caucus pledged to vote for his nomination for Senator before the caucus assembled. He atated in terms, that he had for months *electioneered as hard as he could” te secure such pledge. I complained then that I had been grossly misrepresented by himself and seme ef his friends in reference to the late war, not only on that, but on former occa- sioas as well, and by such undue means | was prejudiced greatly. I insisted then that he had by such pledging destroyed the freedom of the caucus aaa nominating body. And so he had. The fundamental principle on which the caucus system rests {s, that the members first consider the pubtic good, and, in respect to the nominations, that they consider fairly and without prejudice, the tness and claims of such persons as may go fore them to share in the distribution of such honors and begetits as they may have power to bestow. The ghsolute fairness and reedom of the caucus is the single quality that gives it life and binding power—none may tamper with them. © Caucuses are per- verted by active, designing men, and this has been done go often as to cause Mr. Cal- houn and other great political writers in this country to denounce them as the in- struments of intrigueing men to defeat the popular will. They are essential to coucert- ed party action, but unless true fairness pre- vails they do not and ought not to bind pry rosy. A majority of the caucus having pledged in aivance of its meeting to support Goverguy Vance for Senator, what @ mockery far ghuer geptlemen, including myself, to go into the caicus Jugs tg sep his nomination recorded ! It had been procured, prearranged, Pre: determined. Upon what considerations | Upon what representations? And it was so dune ip the absence of every other gentle- gaan who aspired, and without such major- ity having heard or considered any other na right or claims, or any thing that ight be said ia favor of the public, ‘the rty, or any gther parson. The majority veing 80 pledged, the minority were help- Jess—thay had t submit to the dictation of A pled ty, pledged for one con- sideration or &nGtlier, fair of unfair, in the mbsence of everybody save only the man pledged and the man who seccived the pledge! If such practice can be talerated aud upheld by g great party ~if one mem- ber of the party ean = agectisf Ny pros- titute the machinery of the party, then the eaucus system is acheat and a fraud. The man who can allord to go around ip gd- vance of the assemb!ing of the caucus and intrigwe with individuals, make his own ez ele statements, arguments and misrepre- ‘sentations, with no one by to correct them, will almost inygriably get a controlling ad- wantage, which those who cannot and will grot do such things cag pever have. Such “practices are Vicious, contravene every prin- fiple of true and just party discipline and Alestroy all fair and wise party action. Such pa makes the caucus and the conven- J-on a mere t @ snare fer the benefit of those who employ jatcigye and eygning. n this case a friend a€ mine asked that I pnight be heard by the egacus jn reference to certain methods of electionsering aysinst jne and wisrepresentations of which J com- edged pigjority vjected gnd mocked at the respectful re- Qnest—the nomination had already’ been ‘decid hédare the caiicus met!

Vance ha: een renominated. I went to the Circuit Court of the United States then sitting in Metropolitan Hall where my business called me, feeling indignant and supposing that Gov. Vance would be elcct- ed, I was entirely ignorant of my election at the time it tovk place and bad nothing to do with it in any way. A friend hastened to the Court chamber where I was, beck- oned me from the immediate presence of the Court and informed me of it. No one could have been any more surprised at it than myself. I could not at first credit the state- ment, thinking my friend might be jesting until he assured me that he was in carnest. As I turned to walk back to my seat, I met Senator, Gov. Vance-had a ¢ one cared to venture into @ caucus jority of which was pledged toene & and withou: opposition fa the c so pledyed, he received, o@ the first belly}, alf a vote more Then, as of For the reasong stated, I did not submit myself to the caucus, although a number of ntlemen who desired my election did go into it and abide its action.

Eighteen Democrats friendly to mc—some of them among the leading and ablest men of the Legislature, and al! of them men of high in tegrity and respectability, absolutely refused to go Into the caucus unless Gov. Vance and I both should be withdrawn from its con- sideration for nomination.

Let candid men judge. I advert to another incident in connection with bis efforts to be admitted to the Sen- ate in 1871. Ex-Gov Holden was then Gov- ernor of the State. He was impeached for transactions in 1870, with which the people are familiar. Pending that impeachment, Gov. Vance favored the proposition that Gov. Holden's friends in the legislature should vote for a State Convention to amend the Constitution, aud in consideration of ns, practices, novel and questionable as they are, should be invoked in aid of the advancement of a gentleman, whose friends, if he himself does not, claim that he ts ibe idol of the pleople! If this its so in fact, then why defame me for his benefit? If I am so unacceptable to the people, why not let me alone? If he is so stron¢'y established in the affections ofthe people why not let the _ quietly asin the past, express their wishes in the usual way? Why invoke new and untried methods of electionce: that exclude everybofy but him- self? It cannot be said the people adopted this plan. It is known that certain newspapers fn the interest of Gov, Vance and certain newspaper writers and | ne friends of his suggested itand advocated it ally. All that I ask for myself is, that the people may oo their willand judgment freely and fairiy, nfluenced, unthwarted by intrigues and undue combinations, false issues, false imputations and such support of the Convention proposition | the impeachment proceedings should be | abandoned. At least one consideration in | it would help Gov. Vance to get into the| Senate. The proposition was scouted and If Holden merited impeachment, | how monstrous the proposition to barter | right for wrong! Can the most obtuse fail | to see at least one motive that Gov. Vance | had in favoring this proposition! Can dis- | 1. a interested men even fail to see the ear-marks 1 | Of antbition, if not unholy ambition? I will | | not criticise. I leave others to judge of | d4:ly such conduct. It is said that Gov.

Mr. J. J. Brower: Dear Sir,—1 see a statement in the Watchman of this week; that John 8. Hen- derson, in the receut Davie county con- vention, received the vote of three town- ships out of six, for Senator. T avail my- self of this Opportunity to correct the statement and say, thatit is untrue. As soon as the convention was organized, Mr. B. Baily introduced a resolution, endors- lng Mr. Henderson for the Senate; the resolutiow waa laid on the table as soon 48 it was offered, and remained there un- til the convention adjourned. The town- ships were not called upon to vote for a Senator at all; but four out of six voted for J. C. Foard, and all six eens town- ships would have gone unaniim usly for Mr. Foard had au opportunity bedn offer- ed them. These are the facts in the case, and will be endorsed by every gentleman that was in the convention, with the exception, per- PS, Of a amall ciique of six or eight per- Sons in the town of Mocksville. We think Davie is entitled to the Senator this time, and are contending only for our rights. Our choice, Mr. J.C. Foard, is well known 12 your county, and many of his warmest and truest friends reside in Rowan, The people of Davie desire the citizens of Row- an to appoint delegates to meet with them 12 convention at Foard’s Mill at an early Y, to decide the question, as to who is entilted to Senator. We are confident of the fact, that if J. C. Foard proves to be the choice of the people, he will reflect due credit upon his district. Very respectfully, W. H. Hopson. At the time we mado our notice of the Davie county meeting, referred to above, We had not received the official proceed- ings. They have since come to hand and will be found in first coluinn of the Ist Da ge. P ‘réonally we have no objection to Mr. vard, and if Davie were entitled to the : nator at this time, the conservatives of wan, we doubt not, would vote for him *ry cordially.

Straw paper, in the common parlance of trade, means the small nine-pound bun- dles of paper so naturally associated with packages from the grocery store—a coarse, fragile material, originally made ex- pressly for wrappers. Of printing pa- per made from straw we do not propose to speak just now. The genuine article may be seen flying from the hands of cart- man to porter threugh the gir on the line of Fulton Street, west of Broadway (in course of reception or delivery), at almost any time between dawn and eve, barely clearing the heada of pedestrians on the sidewalk, The question, ‘What becomes of all the pins?” which has so long con- founded the philosophers, is lesa difficult than the effurt to explain the final desti- nation and yses of all this paper, We must at ance Jook to the exports to Ha- yana and Soyth America, and com- menace an investigation, These exports are simply enormous, both by steamers and sailing veasels, and the several com- mission houses filling ordera in the trade are kept busy throughout the year, In case shipmenta are checked from any cause, or more especially if receipts from the manufacturers are unusually free (fa- yored of late by the open winter), large warehouses are filled to overflowing,— Even the railroad dopota are choked by the accumulations, giving rise to this extraordinary produc- tion? The dealers themselves ahake their heads mysteriously, and confess that it js very strange, while some of them sur- mise that the great bulk of exports is con- sumed in the adulteration of tobacco, or rather as a substitute for tobacco in the manufacture of cigars, There gre others who speak of this as an absolute fact, from their own knowledge, Indeed, the state- ments made on this point afford no rea- sonable ground for doubt. Even in New York the practice of saturating paper with tobacco juice by third-rate manu- factarers of cigars is by no means uncom- mon. this class remarked to us that the atrong- est Kentucky leaf is preferred in making the decoction; that in truth, such perfec- tion has been reached jn the flavoring process that the peculiar pungencsy and aroma imparted by a certain admixture of paper are a recommendation of the goeds, If one will examine this paper closely, numerons small, dark specks will be found on evrey sheet. These are par- ticles of rye ground up with the straw. Being of an oily nature, they do pot ab- sorb tobacco juice like the body of the paper, so that when the sheets are dried after the bath the spota come out white, in close resemblance to the seed jeaf, This kind of paper is preferred by experts to any other, Dies aye used in some jn- stances to make a ragged edge to the bogus Jeaf, Aside from the qualities already spoken of, derived from the yse of paper, it is claimed that the cigars thus made is actually improved as a consequeyee of the chemical gotion of lime contained in the paper after the bleaching process nen- tralizing the otherwise injurious effects of the nicotine, Cigars, where paper is an ingredient, burn egsjly, and the ashes are very white, Exports of this paper began only aix or seven years ago, and now we are sending it oven teEyrope, The othor day a merehant in Broad Street proposed to contract for 100,000 reams for the Cu- ban market, taking 5,000 reams 9 week. Oyu Broadway isa merchant who often buys atone time from 75,000 to 100,000 reams, #0d purchases of 50,000 reams are frequent, the eustom being to buy when the market is low, and hojd subject to order, Another matter in connection with the export trade in this paper is the common practice of shippers to ijl up all spare room in their vosse]s with paper for dun- nage, to prevent shifting of cargo, Paper won't rot, and can be tueked in anywhere, ' But it usually goes in large lots, some- times as much as 30,000 reams on a sin- gle steamer. It is pressed and bound with Whence the demand A merchant supplying instances of ww — as Rub the garments through this thorough- ly but quickly; then throw into a tub of clear soft water, slightly warm and well salted; then put through the wringer, starch and hang jn the shade—buat where they will get a good breeze—to dry.

At eighty, a gentleman in New York city commenced trying to walk up the stairs of the Erening Post building, and there are nine from the street to his office. Any of the eleyator men will tell you that when the elevator is at all full, off ho will go cheerily up al] the nine flights, seem- ingly none the worse forit, Within a year he also told the writer that he still continued dumb-bell and club work be- fore breakfast daily, and simply because it pays; and he is certainly atill a wiry, active man, even thongh it is sixty-two years since he wrote ‘Thanatopsis.” Pal- meraton, fox hunting when past eighty ; Vanderbilt, no youngster, without groom or companion, urging his blooded trotters over Harlem Lane at a slashing pace ; Gladstone, at sixty-eight, felling Hawar- dlen trees by the hour, and for the benefit the exercise brings—are but a few instan- ces of what old men can do when they try. None of these are more surprising than, in an jntellectual field, the learning of Ger- man by Caleb Cushing after he had pass- ed seventy, or Thier’s activity at yearly eighty, or, in always, than Moses’ doing the forty years’ best work of hia life after he had passed eighty, and yct with eye not dim nor natural force abated. If some men, by oiling their joints daily—for, as Maclaren says, ‘‘they are giled every time they are pnt in motion, and when they are put in motioa only”—can keep those jolnts from grating and ereaking and mov- ing stiffly, even into a ripe old age, why may not others as well? And which of these things which man ean, if he will, do so readily, cannot women do as well! It needa no money, very little time, little or no present strength. One-third of the time often given to the piano will more than suffice. Qne less study aday of those which are to-day overtaxing so many school girls, and instead judicious, vigor- ous, out-door exercise aimed directly at the weak muscles, and taken as regularly a8 one’s breakfust ; and is there any doubt which will pay the better, and make the girl happier, the fitter for all her duties, and the more attractive as well? We trust that the day is not far off when no boy or girl will be sent to a school where care is not taken to develop vigorous, healthy young bodies, and when that vigor and health will be the rule and not the excep. tion among men and women alike, and in every walk of life,—Iarper’s Magavine. a A Bough Retort.—In the city of Hali- fax there dwelt a lawyer, crafty, subtle, ang cute as a fox. An Indian, of the Mi- am tribe, named Simon, owed him some money, Jhp poor red man brought the money to his creditor and waited, expect- jng the lawyer to write a regejpt. “What are you wajling for?” said the lawyer. “Receipt,” said the Indian. “A receipt,” said the lawyer, ‘‘receipt ?

The time hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have a public journal of its own to represent its inter- ests in the various affairs of business, local and general.

Songs, solo .ot part singing are the delight of mankind everywhere. Among the ruder nations they are employ- «| to express sentiments for which com- speech is too poor; and among people of the greatest refinement they aro the completion and consamation of social en- joyment. Singing is highly esteemed and loved the world over and all t he more highly prized where vocal ability 1s scarce, Cultivation of vocal music ook the band members also greatly tends to draw- ing the sexes together for musical partici- tion in the parlor, forming a powerful incentive to both and effectually blocking the game of pretension, and vivifying home music, which left wholly in the hands of the females, is measurably insipid to themselves and unsatisfactory to the males, with the exception of some cases of osten- tation on one side and “‘spoonyism™ on the other. Most young men prefer a mu- sically accomplished wife, but when un- educated in music themselves, and so be- ing unable to discriminate between a mere “piece player” (by rote) and a thor- oughly trained musician,— a finent reader of music, they are in most cases disap- pointed after marriage. They bay a fine piano, and after hearing the young wife's limited and vapid programme repeated scores of times, it becomes monotonous and wearisome to both by the end of the first month after marriage, and she has no wer to augment it. The young hns- band soon looks for more congenial amusement out of home. How different it wonld be if both were musieally educa- ted. As it is, neither one is titted to give or receive. The piano is closed from hencefurth, only to be opened on grand occasions. It is then only used as a con- venient altervative for bridging over ap oceasional chasm in social entertainment, as, for instance, when conversation flags or other amusements have satiated, then gone one, glad ef an excuse to speak, calls for a “tune” on the piano. Some foolhardy Miss ia at last persuaded to seat herself at the instrnment, on which she bangs out some tiresome mockery of a composition far beyond her powers. Under cover of her meaningless racket, however, cheerful conversation revives! After a sufficient dose of musical noise has been administered, some hackneyed songs are called for and sang. ‘Then this burlesqe on music may be facilitated by some wag inducing all the best singers presen} to attempt a succession of part pieces, with which most of them are “at sea without a rudder.” The blundering and discord that ensues would be intoler- able, but its very absurdity excites jullity and noisy hilarity among the rest of the company, in self defense. While on this phase of music I cannot refrain from re- producing a hit at the affected hesi- tation evinced by some young ladies at parties on being asked to sing: “On being led to the piano the young lady first throws a timid glance around the room, ostensibly to show a gentle confu- sion, but in reality to see who is looking ather. She then observes to the lady of the honse “that she is not in very good voice, having a slight cold,” which she coufirms by a faint sound, something be- tween a sigh, and a single-knock cough. “Oh! but you always sing so delightfully,” declares the hostess, encouragingly. The young lady is “certain she cannot sing this evening”—to strengthen which opin- ion she makes some young gentleman ex- ceeding joyous by giving him her boqnet to hold, and drawing off her gloves in the mest approved style, lays them, together, | with her filmy handkerchief, conspicuous- lyon the piano. An active gentleman Volunteers toshut down the top of the piano, which has been open for quadrilles, and pinches his fingers in the attempt; the young lady finally seats herself. As she plays the chords in the key in which she is about to luxuriate, every body is not perfectly silent, so she fiuds the music still too high or two low, or something of the kind. At length, all being still, she playagne symphony again, smiling at the ostess the while, and saying she is ‘‘cer- tain she will break down,” she brings out the opening note of recitative, which makes the drops of the chandelier vibrate and silences even a couple who are whis- pering all sorts of nothings to each other in the back drawing room.” _ All of us have been pained by witness- ing such vulgar display at least once in our lives. Ladies (and gentlemen) when asked to play or sing, should comply (if atall) without demur or apology, and with the same self-possessed ease that would attend their contributing to the enjoyment of their friends in other ways. I have diverged somewhat from the path I set out on, but will get back to it in my next. But as these are “potpourri papers” some latitude must be given me, as in other mosaic work, like medley Tn a band concert. whose aim is first-class excellence, the band is not and cannot be the chief attraction. It is the frame for a fine pictare. Im the many features of this Picture the piano is an indispensable ne- ceasity. Every one tanght music on piano should be trained to “tune” the instru- Ment and to understand its mechanism enough, at least, to put ona string, leather & hammer, &c. The ability to do this and train pupils in it, should be held as a Prime qualification and strict duty on the part of ateacher.

More cannot be said. I have the good of music purely and only animating me in this endorsement of “Four in One,” and it pains me somewhat to reflect that my doing so will, to some extent, injure the business of one, who, in my judgment heretofore, had reached the very acme of excellence in fashioning band instruments; but prejudice must succumb to fact; ‘an entire revolution bas come, and he who fails to fall into line will be left behind. Ihave never testified in favor of any instrument through the press before. I have been deterred from so dvuing, mainly, by seeing many profes- sionals of more or less prominence and talent giving or selling their names in un- measured approval of band instruments, pianos, &c., promiacuously, from the best to the worst. Even in the present in- stance I feel misgivings that many a “smart aleck” will class me with those who aid swindles. I can hardly blame such, for country towns are flooded with circulars of organ, piano, and pretended band instrument makers, overflowing with certifieates of professional men, tes- tifying that every one of. them makes finer instruments that all the rest, 8o that all are superior to each and each is supe- rior to all!!!—Trumpet Notes. > Ae From the Davidson Record. CLEMMONSVILLE, N. C., Jane 4. Mr. Epiror.—How far does the late decision of the Supreme Court of the Kearsey effect exemptions allowed to poor debtors, as against old debts? This is a question of much importance to many thousands of poor people at this time, and it ought to be correctly answered at ovce. It seems to your coorespondent that the exemption lawa of the State in existence at the time of the contract was made must inhere in the contract, though they have since been repealed by the Gen- eral Assembly. This may seem a startling proposition to some, bat it appears to be justified by the opinion of the court in the case under consideration. In that opinion the court says: ‘It is the settled doctrine of this court that the laws which subsist at the time and place of making a contract enter into and form a part of it as it they were er- pressly referred to or incorporated into ils terms. And this rule embraces alike those which affect its validity, construction, discharge and enforcement.” This is familiar learning to every con- stitutional lawyer. And is it not clear from it that every creditor in taking the note, or other obligation, of his debtor “erpreasly” contracts and agrees to allow him whatever exemptions may at that time be allowed to poor debtors by the laws of the State? And are not both of the parties to such a contract equally bound by it, and has not each the same right to insist upon and enforce its per- formance by the other? Are not the ob- ligations of such a contract mutual, and is not a law which impairs the obligation of the coutraet on the one side as uncon- stitutioval as that which impairs it on the other? Are not rights acquired by virtue of such contracts, under the laws which “enter into and form a part of” them, that no anbsequent Legislatare can divest? ‘These questions are respectful- ly addressed to the bar, for the purpose of having the whole matter discussed and settled by that learned and honorable profession, to whieh such questions prop- i erly belong. I have not the slightest iutcrest in the matter beyond the sympathy I feel for the unfortunate. Very respectfully 1H: i FUNERAL LUXURIES. A decision ofa Pennsysvania Judge strikes very properly at the foolish cus- tom of having showy and costly funerals, whether the family of the deceased can afford it or not. Under any cireumstan- ces, the setting up a tawdry parade on such occassions is in exceeding bad taste ; l bat when the cost becomes a positive burdeu to the family it is still more inex- cusable. The decision arose out of the application of an administrator for an al- lowance on account of burial expenses, which amounted to one hundred and thirty-nine dollars and seventy-five cents, tion generally is a rara avis indeed. uence, they are dependent on itinerant tuners” who in a majority of cases, are far worse. than ordinary tramps, and when the total personal property left by the deceased was only five handred and eighty-one dollars. The Judge prompt- os such ren that “pompous United States in the cause of Edwards ver} iy and properly refused to allow any ————— ments are not necessary for parades are called ‘tfine fanerals,” the Jadge continues, {and may gratify the vanity of the living, bat no respect for the dead demands them ; and when a deceased’s estate is limited, and his debts are not paid, @x where he leaves 4 family of helpless children, the expenses of such burials will not be al- lowed out of his estate. Those whe con- tract toenjoy such luxuries must pay for them themselves.” The Judge’s views will be coneured iat Wy sensible people) every where. — 7 Rev. 8.Taylor/Martin, principal of thg’ Charlotte Institate for Young Ladies, has decided to enter the ministry again, and will consequently give up the charge of the institation at the close of the present session. The trustees have recently made armangements with Rev. T. M. Atkinson, of Raleigh, to assume control, and it is ea- pected that he will move with his family to this city sometime in August next. Mr. Atkinson’s plans are not known yet, but it is stated that he desiries to com- bine several of the female schools of the city, with the view of bringing about a greater efficiency in all. Mr. Atkinson is known all over the State and out of it, as an accomplished and caltivated gentle- man, and one peculiarly adapted to the teacher’s work. Mr. Martin has been contemplating a return to the active ministy for some time, but has been prevented from doing so by an affection of the throat, which caused him to cease his labors in that fleld sever- al years ago, but, from which he thinks himself now partially relieved. He goes to take charge of Hendersonville and Mill River churches in Henderson county, be- lieving that the climate of that region is best for the malady with which he is af- fected. It is to be hoped that he will soon find himself able to enter a wider field where his splendid talents may exert a greater influence in the cause of the Chureh.—Charlotte Observer. —$<—<—$<—<—$—$—$—— eae A Venerable Terrapin.—Jas.

The project of sending a commission to New Orleans was itself an intentional de- ception, of which Grant may or may not have been the dupe. In the letter which Grant addressed to the visiting statesmen he requested them ‘‘to see that the Board of Canvassers make a fair count of the vote actually cast.” That was the exter- nal instruction. . Let us see how it was followed. On the 14th of November, Judge Trumbull, Gov. Palmer, Senators McDon- ald, Stevenson and Bogy, Speaker Ran- dall, and others addressed a letter to John Sherman, Stanley Matthews, E. W. Stoughton, John A. Kasson, and their as- sociates, to the following effect: “The undersigned, therefore, in view of the unhap- py controversies which have heretofore arisen from the action of the Returning Board of the State, where its action could not in any event change the result of a Presidential election, and in view of the desire of all good men that effect should be given to the will of the majority, as lawfully expressec, respectfully ask you, or such of you as are present, to meet and confer with them, personal or through committees, as may be deemed most wise, in order that such in- fluence as We may possess may be exerted in behalf of such a canvass of the votes actually cast as by its fairness and impartiality shall command the respect a acquieseence of the American people of all par- No proposition could be fairer or more honorable than this, if an honest count was desired or if the result of a strict scra- tiny was not feated. But John Sherman and his associates knew the State had vo- ted for Tilden by a large majority, and they last of all wanted a joint committee to see that Wells and his confedrates did not falsify the records. They returned! the following answer on the 16th of No- vember : “We join heartily with you in counsels of peace and in the expression of an earnest desire for a per- fectly honest and just declaration of the results of the recent election in Louisiana by its lawfully con- stiuted authorities; and we may add that we know of no reason to doubt that such a declaration will not be made, => we do not see the propriety or utility of a conference on the basis and subject to the limita- tions you propose, for we have no such duty imposed oh us a8 suggested by the clause of your note first quoted.” That refusal of course prevented any co- operation, and notified Mr. Tilden’s friends what they had to expect at the hands of the visiting statesmen and the Returning Board. Three days after this answer was sent, that is, on Sunday evetiing, the 19th of November, Sherman met Weber and Anderson and conferred with them as to their intended action regarding the forged protests. The next day they demanded a guarantee in writing, and John Sherman wrote it in the terms of his now well- known letter of the 20th November, 1876 —the authorship of which he himself so effectively admitted on Saturday, June 1, in reply to the questions of Mr. Potter. The incidents of the Louisiana conspi- racy run so closely together that they can- not be seperated, and they tell their own story most clearly. They are links in the same chain. Everybody knows wliat fol- lowed John Sherman’s bargain with An- derson and Weber, how Louisiana was stolen, and how the damning proofs of the guilt were dragged to light. Four months ago, Tom Andersou was indicted and tried for issuing fo ged returns, and found guil- ty, though he subsequently escaped the penalty of the law by a small technicality. While he was in jail, Sherman, Garfield, Stanley Matthews, and Hale addressed him a letter, which hardly has a parallel for audacity, and makes clear to all the world that they were in the power of An- derson. Here is a sample of their utter- ances: “The undersigned feel iu due to you, under present circumstances, to assure you of our unhesitating be- Mef that, in the matter wherein you stand charged, you are altogether guiltiess of any offence against law ; that you are falseiy accused and maliciously persecuted ; that the proceeding against you, though in the form of law, is without the substance of jus- tice ; that we tender our earnest sympathies and ex- press our hope that che sense of justice and love of peace of the people of Loutsiana will protect you,” ae. These ‘visiting statesmen” were well aware of the part that Anderson had play- ed with Wells. Behind his prison walls he bad signified that if means were not found to release him he would open his budget as his namesake has done, and startle the country with his revelations. This letter was intended to pacify him un til Hayes and all concerned could bring influences to bear ou Nicholls and the Courts to save him from the penitentiary.

In continuation of previous efforts in, the same direction, the Institution con- templates the publication of an exhaus- tive work on American Archeology, with numerous illustrations.

To this end the Institation desires to collect from every available source, what ever is now known, or can be ascerfained by special investigation, of the antiquities of North America; and it invites the co- operation of all into whose hands thiscir- cular may fall. lf the recipient has not the time or the disposition for such inqui- ries, he is requested to hand it to some one in his neighborhood who is known to be, or who is likely to become, interested in such matters, with the request to corres- pond directly with the Smithsonian In- -etitution upon the subject.” or Orr McLin of Florida stands by the state- ments made by him in his now historical confession. He testified on Saturday be- fore the sub-committee of Congressional investigators that, two or three days after the Presidential election of 1876, tele- graphic dispatches began to arrive from such prominent Northern Republicans as Zachariah and William E. Chaudler, the gist of which was that everything depend- ed on Florida, and that an effort must be made—after the election, remember—to give the vote of the State to Hayes. Pres- ently arrived William E. Chandler, Gen. Noyes, Gen. Wallace, Gen. Barlow, At- torney-General Little of Ohio, and others. McLin was given to understand that two or three of these visitors represented Hayes, and in particular that whatever Gen. Noyes said or did, Hayes would rat- ify. Gen. Wallace told him several times that the members of the Retarning Board —of whom McLin was one—would be “taken care of.” On one occasion, Wil- liam E. Chandler, professing to speak for Noyes and Wallace, as well as for himself, told him that if the State went for Hayes, he and Cowgill, another member of the Returning Board, would be “well taken care of.” When the board met to canvass the vote, there were two or three returns from Baker county. If one (the bogus Driggers one) was counted, Mr. Hayes’s majority in the State on the ‘face of the returns would be about 40: if they count- ed the other or others, Tilden would have a majority in the State of about 95. Me- Lin pigeonholed the other returns, laid the Driggers return before the board, and it was counted. He did this because it was the most formal—and “the most fa- yorable to Hayes.” He also joined in in throwing out enough precincts to xive Hayes an apparent majority of eight or nine hundred. After the board complet- ed this canvass, Gen. Noyes called on him, thanked him, and told him he had acted nobly. Subsequently, Noyes wrote him that he had written to the President, urging him to give Mr. McLin an appoint- ment.—N. Y. Sun. Churning in Summer.

Eels Attackting Shad The Hartford (Conn.) Times says: “Eels often attack the shad in the nets, after the shad have been caught in the river. They enter the shad at the gill openings, and suck out the spawn and entrails, leav- ing the fish perfectly clean. Fishermen say that the shad thus attacked are the best, for the eels will not enter any but the fattest fish. Eels also follow the shad all the way up the river, and devour the spawn. Were it not for these natural destroyers the shad would increase to an amazing extent.” —<—<—<—————r eee THE IRISH FAMINE. Ravescn, N.C., May 31, 1878.

Who was nomivated for solic- itor 7” Mr. Dobson was re-nominated. “Ah! Well, Dobson is a good lawyer, bat I have some objections to him; he don’t care how mach expense he piles up- on a county ; he keeps witnesses waiting for a week around the Court-house, run- ning up needless cost on the people, who have to foot the bills. I fear he is not as attentive to his duties as he ought to be. And then there was complaint made be- fore the Grand Jury against a certain man who brought liquor to our preciuct, and used it in electiouecring, and some how the ease was hushed up and never came into Court. Can’t say how much Mr. Dobson iad to do with it, but I fear the case wus not properly looked after.” “There is another matter,” continued our friend, while speaking of county expenses, “which ought to be looked after—] mean the price charged for keeping prisoners; thirty-five cents a day may have been nearly right when provisions were high, but at the present rate of food-supplics and of prices generally, $10.50 per mouth is too much. Why, we board school mas- ters and school children in the country at from $6 to $3 per month, and I suppose the average farmer of the country lives as well as the prisoners in our jail, and there is no good reason, in my mind, why the people who board ut such low rates should be made to pay from $2.50 to $4.50 more for prisoners. The County Commission- ers pre responsible for this exorbitant charge, and wil} be heli] to account for it. In these days when the number of prison- ers is swelled by every petty larceny, it runs up county exponses toa big sum, amounting in this county to over $2,000 a year.” Perhaps you are right on this subject, bat it is not without difficulties, The Grand Jury make it theit busjyess to in- quire into the treatment of prisoners, and if it jis net properly done aceurding to their ‘notions they get after the eounty commissioners with a “sharp stick.” “Yes, there is something in that, but not evough to satisfy tax-burdened farm- crs who have to save and work so hard to get along. There is still another snbject of county expenses which the people are talking about, and out of which one of the candidates in the field expects to make eapital—the cost of collecting the taxes. The offices of sheriff and tax collector ought to be separated, and the collection of the taxes let out to the lowest bidder able to give the necpssary bond for the faithful performance of the duty. It is believed bids for the job would range from $1,000 duwn to $500, Many a competent young man would consider any sum with- in this range very handsome pay for a whole year’s work ; aud if there is any reason why the county should combine the two offices in gue at an annual extra eost to the people, it should be shown. And for that matter, the feeding of the prisoners might also be Jet out to the low- est bidder under certain specifications, and thus by trimming down the perquisits of the office of sheriff take it out of the arena of politics where it is so often a dis- turbing cause.” You say one of the candidates in the field is going to electioneer on these sub- jects this sammer—will you name him? “Yes, Dave Barringer is the man— though I confess I can’t understand how he is a caudidate at all, except upon the ground of his habitual perversity ; for he has been professing to be loyal to the Dem- ocratjc party audis not, [eis one of those men you ean never definitely Jocate in politics, or hold to consisteney ju any- thing.

It practically disqualifies him for many privileges enjoyed by men owning more than a homestead. He cannot be an administrator, er a guardian, or a sheriff, or fill any other responsible posi- tion wherein there is a mouey risk, unless he can find friends worth more than a homestead who are willing to stand for a man whose property is counted as nothing in law, because it does not exceed $1,500 in value, Mr. Yates thinks it is the best law ever passsed for crippling, and final- ly crushing the poor man, Virtually it robs a man of all property by rendering what he bas unavailable as a basjs of credjt. It degrades his standing in the business world like a crime. He is with- out eredit and without respectability in money questions, The homestead ja a master oyer him, rojing him with a rod of iron, and sometimes coercing him iuto practices of which no honest man shonld be guilty.

Perfeet good will and a cordial sym- pathy seemed to have prevailed; and whether as the resyjt of wisdom or acci- dent, the deliberations of the State Con- vention was a glorious success, and has sent to the heart af every good eonacrvative citizen in the State a thrillofjoy. Itwas worth 10,000 votes to the Democratic par- ty at the lowest estimate for its mora) ef- fect on the jearts and minds of the peo- ple. We have been in several large com- pauies on the streets ‘singe the convention, and all without excoptian expressed the highest degree of satisfaction and pleas- Upr, a Te For Qgngress,— An ardent friend of Judge Sghenek writes to the Charlotte Observer proposing him for Congress.

DAVIE COUNTY. AND,..THE SENA- _ TORSHIP. Messnre. Evrrors.—The letter of .““W.. H. Hobson” ja ‘last issue, while not intended, is’ nly calculated to create a false impression A the public mind of this Senatorial District. We have beeu shown a letter from the secretary of the Davie County Convention, in which he says: “J, C, Foard, John H. Clement and “Joho S, Henderson were all vuted for as Senators. My minates show that J. C. “Foard received 3 votes ; J. S. Henderson, “2 votes, and J. H. Clement, 1 vote. 4 ‘tyotes constituted a majority of the whole “number cast, and as no one received “more than three, there was no chvice on “the lst of June at Mocksville,” We are also informed, on what we re- gard as the very best authority, that op- portunity was given to the glelegntes la the Davie County Convention to ballot for Sevator and that several ballots were taken. If Mr. Foard was the undoubted choice of a majority of the conveution, why did he not reccive the endorsement of the convention. Mr. Hobson’s zeg! for his friend should not permit him to nisrep- resent facts. ‘Two townships jn Davie certainly declared for Mr. Henderson ; aud we are reljably informed, that at the Mocksyiljle township meeting, in whieh the country people were largely represent- ed, Mr. Henderson received a unanimous vote for Senator, and the delegutes were instructed to vote for him in the county convention. We understand Mr, Heuder- son has a nt wany friends in Davie county, and all of them ‘good ynd trne ;” and they want him nomiuated for the Sen- ate, because he ig not only their choice, but because they honestly believe that by previous understanding and agreement, Rowan is entitled to the Senator this time. Certainly upon every priaciple of fuirness she is entitled to produce the man. She has a Democratic strength of 2,1¢9 while Davie has only 950. The high liveage of Davie is a sufficient guarantee that she will not attempta self- ish act, and especially towards her njoth- er county. x. ———— Tho Democratic State Convention.

They were here about a year ago—they have improved since then. The quartettes and solos were tolerably good. The at- tempt to be funny by one of them was a fuilure—low comedy eannot be performed creditably by the blind. The best thing of the evening was an announcement to this effect: ‘That we are sufficiently versed in music to be able to keep the time without the assistanee of the audi- ence.” This was rendered necessary by the stamping of feet, &c., during the per- formance of some violin pieces. The re- buke was deserved; for the music could not be enjoyed by those not engaged in keeping the time—it also showed a want of respect for those performing.

The record shows that Davie had the Senator for the terms of 1864, 1866, 1872 and 1874. And that Rowan had him in 1868, 1870 and 1876—Davie four terms to Rowan three. This ought to satis- fy the discontented men in Davie that Row- an is not claiming more than she is entitled to. Besides it was agreed to at the confer- ence in 1866 that Rowan should furnish the candidate for 1866 and 1868. These facts make it impossible that the question should e difficult to settle. And then as to the choice of candidates we believe Rowan is unanimously in favor of Mr. Henderson. There is some dispute as to his strength in Davie, but even there his friends are believed to out-number those of any other person yet named. We cannot see how Rowan can receed or how Davie can contest the case. —<—>---- —_ For THE CAROLINA WATCHMAN, Mzssrs.

As we annually draw near to harvest time our agricultural journala begin to urge upon farmers the propriety of cut- tiug wheat early—while it isin the dough, or when the straw has turned yellow at the neck and is still green at the joints— before the straw is fully dry. It is often stated that cut in this condition the yield will be greater, and that the wheat will give a greater percentage of flour with less of bran. I have for two years tried the fullowiug experiment, which, if not conclusive, let some one show the error: While the wheat was as green as it would possibly do to harvest, I have cut small bundles, and, at intervals of three or four days, have cat others, so that the fearth bundle was cat when the wheat was tlead ripe. I have dried the green wheat iu the shade, and, after being thoroughly cured, have threshed them all, and then counted out a definite number of kernels from each—eay 200~and have weighed them, In every case I have found that the fully ripe wheat was from two to ten per ceat, heavier than that cut green. 1 tried it two years on different varieties of both spring aud winter wheat. It was worth double what the eutire crop would be left upon the vines, There are many places where grape- growing is not considered profitable, sule- one | ly owing to an improper management of the vines, The soil being naturally not very fertile, and perhaps otherwise not well adapted to grape-growing in & eare- less way, the vines are generally set where the root can not easily expand, perhaps by the side of @ walk, in the grass, or near a building, where they are quite as badly situated, if the soi) be stiff and clayey, and the result is, that the vines set more frait than the roots can sustain, To obtain the largest possible quantity of well-ripened grapes everywhere, the vives should grow where the soil is uat- urally rieh, or has been made rich by manores, and spaded from twelve to fif- teen inches deep, and kept free of weeds and grass. In such a soil the roots of the vines will extend in all directions from eight to fifteen feet, and they will sus- tain a much larger crop of fruit than they will where the soil is poor and al- most impenertrable. Tho summer praning of grapevines con- sist in removing all small shoots that will never become good bearing canes, easily distinguished by any person at all ac- qnainted with the nature of the vines. A certain number of the most thrifty canes of this seasou’s growth must be left en- tire, to produce next years’ crop of fruit, er to afford the buds from which the shoots grow that produce the grapes. After six or eight good canes are thus se- lected, the other canes may, or may not, be cut back to within two or three leaves of the fruit— NV. Y. Observer. ——————— HOW TO DESTROY THE TOBACCO FLY. As we have the best svil and climate ip the State fur growing tine tobacco, and as I am a pioneer in the tobacco culture in this section, I will give my modus oper- andi of destroying the tobacco fly. De- stroy all the Jamestown weeds about the plantatian—leaving about twenty stalks about the lot or fence corners. Take a long neck bottle; put in about one-fourth teaspoonful of strychnine; fill up with water. See that the cork fits tightly. cork—put in a goose quill tightly; let the small end of the quill project out about two inches. Make a small hole in the end of the quill, so that the water will not drop or run out, then your poisonous ma- chine is ready for operation. When the tobaeco fly makes its appear- ance, take the bottle, hold it perpeudica- lar, with the end of the quill in the moath of the bloom of the Jamestown weed and with the other hand tap the end of the bottle twice, suddenly, which will force from three to fuur stall drops of the poi- sonous liquid down to the bloom. Go from one bloom to another and fluish up the job by sunset. The operation should not be trusted to careless boys, The operation should be repeated three times a week.—S. M. Thomas, Lauiaburg, Rich- mond Co., in Toreh- Light. >_> WHERE TO SET MILK. There is no doubt that immense qnan- tities of poor butter are made from the milk being set in imporper places. The kitchen pantry, the living room, and the cellar used to store vegetables and other family supplies, will impart peculiar taints to the milk and cream, in such a degree as to be destructive to flavor, even though the batter in other respects be skillfully handled. Dairy rooms so situa- ted as to catch the odor from the pig sty, the cess pool, or other decomposing filth, cannot be used for making good butter. There should be a freedom from filth and impurities of overy description about the milk-house, and the milk should be de- livered by the milkers in an ante-room, or some point outside the milk-room, and from thence conveyed to the place where it is to be set forcream. In this way the fumes and the litter from the stables may be kept from the milk-room.— Practical Farmer. + > ee Don't Mow too Close.

I conclude that the proper time to cut wheat is when the last particle of matter has passed into the ker- nel, and circulation has ceased. If aman has a large harvest it may be best for him to strike w balanee between possible waste ut either end, and ent some too green, yather than risk the waste of shelling at last, but this is entirely another matter, of which each one must judge for himself, —J.

C-. ~~ PROSPECTUS OF The Davidson Record. The Davidson Record, well known to the people of Davidson county as their campaign paper of 1876, is designed to meet a public went of the business men and of the interests of the county. The time hascome when almost every county finds it indispensable to have a public journal of its own to represent its inter-: | general. would not be greatly benefited by a journal within its béunds expecially devoted to the pro- motion of the local interests of the community, Such a paper appeals very strongly to the par- tiality and pride of the section it serves; and every cilizen should give it his countenance and anpport it liberally, as a means of increase ing its usefulness and extending its influence at home and abroad, The stronger it becomes the more beneficial it will prove; and as the money required for its support is far less than the material good it does, it is the best invest- ment any county can make. The Record will of necessity take part in the politics of the country. If it is the duty ot every man to keep himself well informed in respect to public affairs, and to take a decided, and manly part therein, it is especially the duty of the editor of a newspaper faithfully to investigate all questions of public concern, and give to his readers the facts of the same. The undersigned pledges himself to be trne in this regard, He will not knowingly deceive his readers for the sake of party or anything else; but by laying before them the facts, as he may enabied to obtain them, will endeavor to aid all to act wisely for the general good. As political matters now stand, his personal con- victions are most decidedly in accord with the views and feelings of the Democratic Conserva- tive party. He believes that the efforts of this party in 1876 wrenched from the grasp of tyr- ants and corruptionists in high places the civil liberty that we now enjoy. He regards that great victory as second only to that gained by age, wisdom and devotion of the Conservative party proved itself equal to the occasion, and gloriously rescued the imperiled liberties of the people. While that party shall continne more pure and truly patriotic than any other, he intends to be fully identified with it, But the main design of The Record is torerve the county of Davidson in all the ways it may be porsible to advance her interests and pro- mote the welfare of her people. And to this lations with her citizens as shall enable him ‘+o perform bis duty efficiently. The paper wi year in advance. It will be small, but neatly printed on new type; and the proprietor hopes to make up in quality what may be lacking in size. The firet number will appear about the first week in January, 1878. .

A comparative statement of taxation for the years 1877 and 1873 shows the valuation of real estate for 1877 to have been 3,- 832,800 against $2,874,603 in 128728. In 1877 the tax levied was 2 per cent. and the amount 876,657.80, while in 1373 the tax is but 1} per cent. and the amonnt $50,306.63. The reduction is equal to 25 per cent. in valuation and something over 33} per cent. in the amount to be realized, all in the favor of the tax payers this year. In the same way and in the same ratio there is a reduction in the personal tax. The total reduction on real and personal tax amounts to $28,703.14, and the reduc- tion on merchant's license tax, $9,000, makes a total reduction of $37,703.14. To illustrate: In $877 the tax on 85,000 worth of real estate was $100, and this year it is but $65.63—a reduction of. €34- Md. And there are some other points. We understand from Mayor Fishblate that when he went into office a few months since he found a floating debt of $10,000 which has since been reduced to $4,000, and that all warrants are paid by the treasurer as presented. Besides this, the Mayor says that he has asked and will get but $46,000 this year with which to run the city machine; against an average of &122,000 a year under the Republicans.

Doodle bugs 1” said I. “I nev er heard of such things.” “Would you like to see them 1” asked one. “Most assuredly,” [ answered. Then the litte girls led me forth to the ruins of an old log school-house, roofless and floorless, and joining bands, they squatted upon the ground forming a ring, and began chanting in the most musical tones they coukd command : “Uncle Doodle, Unele Doodle, Uncle Doodle bugs!” . L looked on in astonishment, for I could see nothing but hard-baked earth. There seem not a living thing visible; but the children kept up their chaut some three or four minutes, when I noticed the ground began to heave in litde spots and tiny heads peeped out, soon followed by half or the whole body of a dirt colored bet- tle. When the children stopped singing the little things scampered back into their holes. This struck me as very singular. But then we are constantly meeting with strange things in bagdom.

Henry Harrison, in an agricultural address delivered in Ohio, recommended farmers to cultivate the catalpa because of the great durability of its wood when used for fence posts, ete. He was led to give this advice from having found in an old French stockade at Vincennes, while be was Governor of the then Northwest Territory, pickets of eatalpa wood which were yet perfectly sound, althongh they must have existed in place for more than acentary. Lately this tree has become an object of a great deal of attention on the part of arboriculturists, principally on account of the testimony of Dr, Warder and Mr. FE. FE. Barney and a few others, as to the value of its timber. The catalpa (Catalpa bignonoides), al- though quite extensively cultivated as an ornamental tree in the Middle and East- ern States, is a native of the South and Southwest, having its vorthern limit in Sonthern Illinois and Indiana. This tree does not acquire a very large size in the streets, parks, and suburbs of our North- ern cities, nor in such situations init often shapely ; but in its native Southern and Western home it is straight and handsome, and often attains a height of fifty feet, with a trunk diameter of three feet or more. ‘The foliage consists of large heart- shaped, long petioled leaves of a peculiar shade of green, and having a silky luster. ‘The blossoms in great profusion in June, and is then especially ornamental. The flowers, disposed in large showy panicles, are about an inch long, bell-shaped, with a tive lobed, wavy border, and are white, spotted internally with yellow and violet. The flowers are succeeded by slender, cyl- indrical, dark brown pods, often a foot long, which hang until spring. ‘These pods are divided lengthwise into two cells. which are filled with flat seeds having cottony wings. When perfectly ripe and dry, the capsules are often used as cigars by bays (the cottony contents readily barn- ing and producing much smoke), aud are hence familiarly known as “smoking beans.” Mr. E. E. Barney, the veteran car buil der of Dayton, Ohio, has recently brought together all the fact® and observations in his possession touching the economic Val- ue of this tree, and published them in pamphlet form. From this we learn that there are two marked varieties of the ca- talpa, one blooming two weeks earlier than the other. The blossoms of the ear- ly bloomer are larger, more profuse, and less tinged with purple; pods longer and finer ; the bark dark colored and farrow- ed, resembling the bark of elm and locust trees of the same age. The bark of the | as to the value of the tree and to promote There are foolish people in all parts of | its cultivation. ‘The author estimates that shown them to be perfec y. valueable qualities of the tree, to sum up the evilence presented by Mr. Barney, are: Its easy and rapid growth in «lmost any kind of soil, freedom from the attack of insects, and the great value of its tim- ber as regards its durability either in the earth or exposed to the air. The princi- pal demand for the timber will be for rail- road ties ; for this purpose wood should be durable when exposed to the weather, and neither too soft to resist crushing weight on the rails nor too hard to hold the spikes properly. These qualites, Mr. Barney as- serts, are found combind in the catalpa. In addition to its durability, catalpa pos- sesses qualities that render it one of the finest of woods for inside finish and cabi- net work, inasmuch as it has a beautiful fine grain, of a warm yellow color, and is susceptible of a high polish. Mr. Barney’s pamphlet is published for the purpose of disseminating knowledge at present prices a plantation of catalpa will yield a return of $25 per acre for each year of the time during which the trees occupy the ground. Mr. 3. Foster, a hortigulturist of lowa, thinks that the common (or late flowering) variety can- not be depended upon north of St. Louis, while the early bloomer has endured the severest winters of the Western States without injury. ee FENCE ECONOMY. Dr. Franklin B. Hough, in his recently issued ‘Report upon Forestry,” prepared under the direction of the Commisstouer of Agriculture, says that according to re- cent estimates the cost of the fences in the United States amounts to 1,700,000,000, and the annual expense of maintenance is $198,000,000, excluding interest at 6 per cent. on the original cost. We confess to never having had much faith in the accuracy of big-figured statistics of this sort, for the reason in this case that we fail to see exactly how they are reached. Perhaps to take the totals representing one State would be to convey a better idea, and these are furnished by the Maine Board of Agriculture, which fix the total length of fences in that State at between 127,000 and 131,000 miles, The first cost is reckoned at $1 per rod, and the interest on this sum, with repairs, ete., comes to about $6,000,000 per annum. This ex- clades the value of the land covered by the fence itself, which at $30 per acre is worth $975,999. With some notions of the large sums in- vested in fences thus attained, it is not at all difficult to realize the importance of | the statement quoted by the author, to the | effect that “from one-quarter to one-cighth | of the present fences of the country would : be amply sufficient to keep stock within | proper limits, especially since it appears that we are wasting money through a wrong appreciation of the use of fences | which any one so far as he is personally concerned, can remedy for himself. The question is: Are we to fence to! keen cattle out of fields where they are not wanted, or in fields where they are? The general rule is to do the first; but | just here, D. Hough says, we are doing ! exactly wrong, and hence by simply changing our practice the way to economy | is open. It is very much cheaper to fence ; the adjacent lots of a large field than it is to fence each lot separately. Supposing, for instance, an area of one square mile be divided into four 160 acre lots. These, if | adjacent, would require 1,920 rods of fence. If separate fences were crected about each lot, then the length of fence would be 2,- 569 rods. Supposing the number of fields to be 64, of 10 acres each, if adjacent, 5,76) | rods of fencing would be needed ; separate fences would require 10,240 rods, aud here there would be a saving of seven rods of fence per acre; that is at #1 per rod, $7 per acre, or ou the entire area the neat sum of $4,330. The difference is saved hy the same subdivision fences answering for the adjacent ficlds. —_--— The South as a Field for Manufactures. sound. Tha|- ‘try ever made greatér or more rapid prog- ress in substantial wealth than during the past seven years. * Frow a ®omparison of the statistics of the census of 4870 with those furnished by the Bureau of Agrical- ture for 1877, it appears that there were 31,000,000 inore acres of land under eultj- vation last year than in 1870, an increase of 34 percent. The percentage of increase in the number of bushels of corn produced Was 224; of wheat, 52; of rye, 42; of bar- ley. 35; iu tons of hay, 31; and iu pounds of tobacco, 91 per cent. The live stock over the aggregate of 1870 was, horses, 44 per cent; mules, 45; cows, 26; oxen and other cattle, 29; sheep, 254 ; awine 28 per cent. Tue aggregate inerease in the num- ber of live anima!s amounted tos@beat. 25,000,000 head. The excess of the grain crop of 1377 over that of 1370 was nearly 530,000,000 bushels. Our exports for the year ending Jane 30, 1877, exclusive of gold and silver, amounted to $632,930,- O20, ea The Influence of One Mill.—A single woolen mill in the city of Lawrence pro- duces every week a million yards of dyed or printed cloths. It pays $160,000 a week as wages. It employs 5,500 persons, pay- ing them at an average rate of 95 cents a day to women and girls, and $1.40 a day to men. It consumes 500 tons of starch, and expends $400,000 for printing and dyeing materials every year. The woal it requires calls for the fleeecs of 10,000 head of sheep. It secures food, clothing, and usually respectable savings to 5,300 persons and their dependents—anot, less than 10,000 souls altogether. This, with the freights paid for trausp.rtation of its materials and products, shows what one mill contributes to the wealth, power and prosperity of the country. The woolen industry of the whole country amounts to more than $200,000,000 a year. There are nearly a thousand woolen mills in Ohio and other Western States. ~~ —— American Workmanship.—lu the course of a description of a visit to the French war vessel, the Richelieu, a foreign corres- pondent remarks that it seems impossible for one to go anywhere without some spe- cimen of American ingenuity cropping up; aceérdingly, on the quarter deck of the Richelieu was a Gatling gun beside a mit- railleuse. It is astonishing, the corres- pondeunt adds, how tasteful Americans are in everything relating to machinery. The Gatling, beside the dull, heavy, somber French piece, looked like a bit of jewelry, its steel and brass flashing like gold and silver in the bright sunlight of the Medit- erravean. And this is more noteworthy beeauso the Freach have a decided bent toward decoration, and generally make things look as well as possible. -_-—- A WINTER PEACH. The Petersburg (Va.) Rural Messenger thus describes this fruit, which it says originated with Mr. James Hawkins, of Dinwiddie, Va., before the war,and which is called the “Hawkins Winter Peach.” That gentleman has had for some years trees in full bearing: “The fruit does not begin te ripen until the leaves have fallen from the trees in November; is no way injured by the be- | vere frosts of that season, and hangs on the trees until it assumes a beautifal red cheek. When ripe they may be picked and put away to be carried to market at leisure—say any time in November or eatly December, The fruit is large, (the first important item ina market peach;) color whitish, with red cheek; flesh wiit- ish, vich, juicy, and pleasant.

Be i i + I ——— — The Raleigh Qbserrer introduces with quite 4 flourish of trumpets an interview with Geveral Clingman ou the U. 8. Sen- atorial question. Mr. Clingman condemns the practice so prevalent in the State just now, of candidates for the Legislature pledging themselves to support a particu- lar individual for the Senate. He thinks such pledging disqualifies the manasa member of a Legislative caneus, which he compares to a jury; and because @ juror whe has formed and expressed gy opinion in advance js deemed incaupetent to sit in the trjal, for the same reason a pledged representative is incompentent to act asa member of a caucus, &e. : We dissent to the assumed analogy and to the conclusions of the General. The case is widely different from that of a ju- ry set for the trial of a cause involving facts all unknown to them, Each mem- ber of a Legislative cauens is presumed to have in ready possession all the facts on which to make a verdict. The case is more like a farmer who wants to buy a horse of a certain build, color and size for 4 special purpose. If he knows before hand where the horse that he wants may be faund, he goes for him ona bee line. If he don’t go himself but sends au man, he tells him what to do. Just now, the people of North Carolina want a ‘twheel-horse”—they have got him picked out, ang it is barely possible that Gen. Clingman or and beady else oun per- suade them to go hunting about witha jury merely for the sake of politeness to all the other “‘horses” in the State. a THE SUPREME COURT CANDIDATES. We presume that all our readers have already learned of the action of the Dem- acratic State Convention in yominating candidates for Judes of the Supreme Court. In another column we publish a short bi- ographical sketch of the three gentlemen nominated, If the State was searghed from the sea- board to the western boundary, three less objectionable men could not be found than Measrs. Smith, Dillard and Ashe, and the friends of all the other gentlemen whose names were before the Convention will give then a cordial support. All three of the candidates are central men (residing in what is known as the centre of the State), but that will make no difference ; they will receive the unfted support of the West and East as well as of the centre. All were what is known as “ould line whigs”—two, Dillard and Swith, are mem- bers of the Presbyterian Charch, and one, Mr. Ashe, an Episcopalian, but whether a member or not we do not know. Dillard is regarded by the “profession” as the leading “lawyer, Smith “next; and Ashe next, ‘She moral character of all three is No. 1 in every respect, and we would be willing to take the word of either geantle- man the same as if it was a bond or affi- davit. The Convention was one of the largest ever assembled in the State, and compos- ed of gentlemen of superior jntelligence. It was, at times, unusually noisy, but no bad feeling prevailed or unkind words spoken. ‘There was no denounping of one candidate and praising anether—all were praised by their respective friends and no one objected. The favorite of the West was defeated and so was the favorite of the East, but all were satistied, and the Convention adjourned in general good hu- mor.—Char. Democrat, —- hh A Visitors and dwellers along the North Carolina coast are having jolly times catching the black fish. They are taken with hook and line, and the sport is de- ascribed as very exriting. We remember hearing the late Gov. Elije talking of this sport: He said he was never peally satisfied with fishing but guce ip his life, gyd that was in an excur- sivn to the black §sh grounds on the coast. He pylled out these fige fish until the sport became a wearisome Ighor, and he never after bad the least desizp to “go again.” extent af $200,000. Now, says thel ville Courier Journal, if ¢ “wil print the aggregate of raids gn that treasury since }365, in dollars and cents, we do not think they will make a cam- paign watter ef a hypothetical and pre- dicted raid-by the Demoeratic party. We ! cay help them a little by siting the fget that successive Republican Congresses yoted away $400,000,000 to the navy after the war was closed. Of this suum, the great ex t aud executor of (jrantiam, George M. Robeson, spent $132,000,000, and made a junk shop of the navy de- partment. For this expenditure of $400,- 000,000 the government has a mere skele- ton of a navy toshow, and there is plenty of evidence that the money was distribu- ted jn true Commanist style amoung the members of the contractors’ ring. ——— LL Ee A Serenade to Senator Merrimon, [ Ral. News, 22d ] A serenade was on last night given Senator Merrimon on his retarn home, to attest the appreciation which the people of Rayleigh feel for their distinguished cit- izen and Senator in Congress, .. “The «Sen- ytor, upon being calied oat, anid.s‘‘Friends: and fellow-citizens, having slept bat little |. during the past week, I am unable te ad- dress you as I would like to do, but at the expense of eomfort Ll have come to :meet you. It ja sweet te a public servant to enjoy the respect of his fellow citizens; I recognize that fact here. I am deeply sensible of the honor you do me by this manifestation of your respect and kindly feeling, I appreciate it most kindly and tender my thanks; I shall always treasure it and beg to asaure you that I reciprocate this manifestation. It affords me much satisfaction, after many mouths’ work, to return to your midst. I trast to meet you and juterehange views on the ques- tions which interests us and the whole country. 1 trust my services will be of advantage te you, and that 1 shall ever be able to sustain your honor and dignity. “Great credit is due my colleague in the Senate and the gentlemen in the House. We have all tried to du our duty.” The Senator was then compelled from ex- haastion to cease speaking. Hon. ‘T. C. Faller then came forward, thanking the assembinge for the compli- ment to Sehator Merrimon and briefly reviewing his distinguished services in the Senate. Hon. T. L. Clingman was then called out, made some general remarks on the condition of the country and rebearsing the points in bis late ipterview with the Observer iv regard to pledging candidates. ED DS e———_ (From the Wilmington Star.) THE AZOR EMIGRANTS. It was annidtinged some days ago that the ship Azor had reached its destination at Sierra Leone, and that twenty-three of the colored emigraits had died on the passage. The probability is that all of these would now be among the living in- stead of bejng buried in the sea and cat- en up by fishes if they had been content to remain where they had been reared. We are glad that no more vietims fell by the wayside, and we shall rejoice iv the prosperity and health of the survivors. It is well for those who are smitten with the Liberian fever to consider well what they are doing when they engage in the great undertaking of leaving America for a distant, untried and unknown home inv Africa. It is better fur to live and labor where you are known, and where you are fully acelimated, than to take the hazard of emigration to inhospitable and un- healthy wilds, ‘The Charleston News and Courier sent out with the Azot one of jts editorial staff, Mr. A. B. Williams, whe has sent his first dispatch giving an account of the voyage. We give an extract not without a painful interest. He says: “The sufferings of the immigrants were intense. Vhey had not been aceustomed to practice self-denial, and soon exhaust- ed the limited daily supply of water. There was great waste despite the efforts of the officers. The fever spread rapidly, aud before we reached this point, which is a colonial scttlement on the West Coast, belonging to Great Britain, twenty-three of our il.-fated emigrants had died. I have never s¢ey a sadder sight than when their remains were committed to the deep. ‘The names of the dead will go to you by the first mail steamer that touches at this place.” an hacny a1 ees Seale gmeee eee Denominations. (N. C, Presbyterian.) Of course, we have no apology to make for denominational strife. This is worthy of all the condemnation that is heaped up- on it. This difficulty can be obviated by fraternal cordiality. Let each denomina- tion never fail to reeognize the others. Let there always be an interchange of eor- dial Christian courtesy. Narrow-minded exclusiveness is what gives color of ex- cuse to the objections raised agninst the devominations. When oue little corner anchurehes every other part of the reli- gious univers+, it renders itself ridiculous. Charity alone eyres sych troubles, and by charity we do nat jean the spirit which, from indifferenee, tolerates any and eve- rything, but that apirit which, while firm in its convictions, grants the same privi- lege to othera, and does not rebuke them “beeguse they follow not with us.” The “Old Catholics” in gonvention at Bonn recently adopted a resolution favor- ing the marriage of the clergy, They are ander the ban of the church, and are not likely, by any liberality of policy to draw largely from its membership, Celibacy of the clergy was first decreed by Pope Siricius in the year 335, and has been p part of the discipline of the charch from that date. that Jolin Witkes Booth, af- ter calling theatre at noon on Good Friday, and learned that the President aud General Grant were to‘octupy a box that evening. A messenger frou the White House had been thete uw hour before to secare the box, and'the workmen were then deeora- ting it. ‘Phew and there the terrible thonght of dssassination was suggested, It tovk this form; “If | failed to serve | the South iv my‘censpiracy to abdact, | ean now be her Bratué.” ” He went to the Kirkwood Hodse ‘to tind some of the men with Whoar héhad plotted six months be- fore.

These three men,he. called together, and con- spired them.to kill the President, the, Vige-Rgpaidept, Secretary Seward and Geseral Grant, Daring the afternoon he wrote a long statenient for publication, ding his intended crime by Roman precedeats, This sealed package he gave an actor early that evening, directing that it should We delivered to the Na- tional Intelligencer the next day for publi- cation. The actor, it seems, was frightened at the risk he ran in holding such a docu- ment. He breke the seals, read the state- ment, and burned it in the grate of his chamber in a boarding-house. The actor subsequently confessed the fact to a Catholic priest, and also informed Mr. Ford of the destruction of the statement. If that package had been preserved it would have revealed the fact that until noon of that day—and after he had seen Mrs. Surratt—John Wilkes Booth had not premeditated murder ; but teeling deeply thee humiliation of the South, which he loved as Bratué loved Rome, he then re- solved ‘to strike down the leaders of the hosts who were shouting their paeaus of triamph. Whén he was dying, with his face lit up with the blaze of the barning barn upon the Garrett farm, on April 24, 1865, he muttered some words, and a sol- dier bent over him and caught them. First, a message for his mother: ‘Tell her I did it, as1 thoaght, for the best.” Then these words: “Tell others that the communication J wrote addressed to The National Intelligence will explain why I did what I did.” Daring the conspiracy trial Judge Ad¥ocate Holt could not tind any traces of that statement. Mr. Ford explains the reason. ; TTT eer ee Ouly a Mouse —Langh ne more, gentle- men, at the cowardice of wowen where miee are concerned. A severe masculine censor once declared that the most grave and wise gathering of women, for the most important and serious purpose, could be utterly thrown off its balance by the let- ting loose of a mouse in the room. That was men’s theory. Here is fact: ‘While wn Ohio Judge was holuing Court a few days ago a mouse took advantage of his preoceupations and climbed up inside his pantalogns, The attorneys and attend- ants begame aware of the situation when the Judge suddenly gavo a jump, clapped his hand to hia lege, and stamped on the floor. The sheriff rushed to the rescue, and the speststors pose in their seats, not knowing what was abont to happen. The Judge whispered to the sheriff, a lawyer took the intruder out, and in the general confasjon which ensued the mouse escap- ed.” Fancy the howl of derision that would have gone up from “the superior sex" if this had happened in a court pre- sided over by a woman! _—_— eet a All the Pacifie railroads are selling their lands at prices ranging from 8333 to $12 65 per acre, while their charters re- quire that the lands shall be open to pre- emption at $129 per acre.

It is located at. what was formerly aan nana 16 miles west-south- weet oo the Tuckasege road, and 10 Yailes north of Coucord. There are two stores nad several shops in the place now, ai more stores will open in the Fall. The chief attractions of the place is a good school, healthfaluess of the location, the good morals of the inhabitants, and the echureh- , THE SCHOOL, Male and female, is now under the con- trol of Prof. R. G. Kiser, a young gentle- man who seems at home in the school room, and with whom his pupils appeared tw be on excellent terms. The school varies in nombers between 50 and 75. This day (June 21) was set apart for the closing excrciaes of the Spring Term, in- clading a public examination of the classes in the presevce of the Trustees and pat- rons; dialognes, orations, compositions, recitations, music, &e. Pact B. Means, Esq., was becn engaged to deliver an ad- dress on the oceasion, and the Concord Brass Band to supply appropriate music. The announcement of these preparations attracted nlargo ‘crowd of people from the surrounding country embracing ‘the counties of Rowan, Cabarrus ond Ire- dell. By 11 o'clock the public grounds were covered with carriages, baggies, wagons, horsee, and people of all ages and sexes, and all in holiday attire. The Salisbury Band entered as volunteer con- tributors, aud were the first to arrive iu the morning; and while the people were waiting for 1} o'clock, the hour appointed to hear Mr. Means’ address, entertained them with the best music they could give, eslisty-and -aagelennn of See dalaenes: which, with either of the Neaves to lead, never fails to be good. It was quite 2 v’clock before Rev. Wm. A. Julian, pastor of the Enochville church came to the opening of the exereises with PRAYER BY REV. JOUIN ILERILIG, of Concord—a solemn and humble con- fession of sins, and an earnest appeal to God for his forgiveness, his blessing, his superintending wisdom, goodness and |} mercy. After forward | | | came and announeed an ad- dress by Pau. B. Means, Esa. We made pretty fall notes of Mr. Means’ | address, but for lack of time must limit) general remarks of its design and style. | Mr. Means is a handsome speaker, to) begin with, and attracts you at once by | his graceful ease and dignity of manner. | The aim of his address was to show the) greatness of esmall things, or what the world | is aceustomed to coosider as small.

Mr. D. has succeeded in re-establishing the school, which before his time had somewhat gone down. There is no better place for a good school—the heathfulness of the location, the cheapness vf board, and the sound morality of the community all conspire in behalf of such an enterprise. —_— —0 ———_ Guide Book.—We are indebted to the Messrs. Blum, of Salem, for a copy of their “Guide Book of N. W. North Carolina with Historical Sketches,” &e. It will supply a much needed want as a book of reference, besides presenting an interest- ing deseription of the country. It is the very thing to send to those people in the Northern and Easiorn States who are con- stantly asking for information on the soil, climate and productions of this part of the State. And it gives all this and much more besides. —— —9—___— Enochrille Post Office.—We have seen a letter from’ the Postmaster, not at Enochville, but ata country place 14 miles from the village, in which he expresses some indignation because the people of the village have petitioned for the remov- al of the office within the corporate limits. Mr. Overeash ought not to object, for it is surely right that Enochville P.O. should be in Enochville, and not 1} miles in the country. How does Mr. O. think it would do for Salisbury P.O. to be kept in some hollow tree one mile and a half from town? Perhapa he thinks it would be all right, and so it would: be, provided the people Were satistied to have it so; but if they Were not, certainly no one, two, or half a (lozen unreasonable men ought to be al- lowed to deprive them of the right to move it where it would be more conve- vient. _—_ ~<a —___ An Army of Tramps.

The police and the railroad authorities were last night striv- ing to invent some method of getting rid of them. unknown heroes of the present day;” bat | in discussing this theme the greatness of, shill actions and achievements, was nec- essarily brought in sharp contrast with those which the world is in) the habit. of signalizing by marble monuments, costly | tombs, voluminous histories, annual cele- brations, &e. The design of the speaker | was to impress his hearers with the idea that no useful or good action or pursuit | iv human life could be properly regarded | as small, or of no account; but that every such action or pursuit was fraught with consequences and results beyond the pow- er of map to measure, often seen bearing richer and more glorious fruits than the great deeds of renowned warriors and statesmen. ‘To say that the speaker work- ed out this aim and design in a very handsome maaner is only to express the verdict of his audience. The practical applieation of the discourse was apparent their sure reward, however humble the worker, or low the task. ‘The same God | who poised the mountain distills the drop | of dew into the tlower’s bosom.” a beautiful address from beginning to end, | very hearty cheers. After the speech the Coneord Band strnck in wich a lively air, and joy beam- ed from every countenance. We very re- cently had occasion to speak of the per- formance of this Band and have nothing now to take back or to qualify on that score. Between the two Bands present on this oceasion we had good musie and plenty of it. The remaining exercises had been set for 8 o'clock in the evening, and a cloud which had for some time been muttering in the west now came up, pour- ing out a summer shower, which sent the audience scampering in all directious for shelter. THE CHURCH BUILDING at this place is the largest in the county, its utmost capacity being aboat 1,000. It will seat seven or eight hundred comfort- ably. It is w brick building, 45x80, with a recess back of the rostrum which is en- closed with a low altar railing. Rostrum and railing all of solid walnut, neatly polished. The seats are very firm and of easy shape. Gallery at one end, reached by two pair of stairs, with seats for more than » hundred people. The workman- ship of the whole is very solid and neat, Not a “shoddy” thing about it. And as this is the second “yood job” we have seen by the same master-builder it is but simple justice that Mr. J. August Graeber should be mentioned as a capable artizan. There is good reason to believe that Enochville will continue to grow unless some untoward, unexpected circumstance shall happen to arrest it, It is on a high, dry, sandy ridge several miles removed from avy very pablie theroughfare, aod for this cause is well chosen for the estab- ment of a school.

Blaine made several sharp speeches, and offered an amendment requiring each claimant to give a bond for the repayment of any money so paid him upon a subsequent showing that he had been paid by the Confederate Government. Hill opposed Blnine’s amendment, and Conkling took the floor and lashed the Southern con- tractors with venom and sarcasm. He called the claimants in generala set of sane | unscrupulous rascals, willing to resort to any means to fleece the treasury. Gen- erul Gordon could not bear this assault, the intent of which was evidently to create sectional debate. He looked aw- fully mad and demanded to know if Conkling really classified all claimants alike as impostors and rascals. The Sen- ator from New York was also roused, and stepping towards Gordon he reitera- ted his assertion, and followed it up with a worse assault than his first one. The scrimmage which some Senators evidently expected to follow did not come off, for Gen. Gordon recovered his equanimity and replied in a mild and dignified man- ner, denying in toto Mr. Conkling's as- servation. Mr. Blaine’s amendment was modified aud passed. = >a Bryant was the richest poet America has ever produced.

Although not containing a large per- evntage of nutrient matter, grapes are among the most wholeseme as well as palatable of all the fruits. Their cooling roprieties are very gratefal to paticnts anftering with fever; and they will often be tolerable when all other food is reject- ed. The grape reaches ita perfection under the sunny skies of-Southern climes; yet many varieties may be snecessfully culti- yated jn this latitade, with proper care. Many who attempt the eultivation of the pe with small frait of various kinds, beeome discouraged by failures, which might be wholly obviated by giving a lit- tle attention to the art of grape culture. The following very practical rules for the management ot this most excellent fruit were presented by Dr. Whiting at the Farwers’ Institute, recently held at Sagi- paw, Mich. :— “The soil best suited for the grape is decomposing shale, but any good clay soil thoroughly drained will do. “The ground should be carefully pre- pared, and only we]]-rotted manure used. Decomposing turf is one of the fertili- zers; when it can be obtained, uo other will be required, “The viues selected for planting should be good one-year-old layers or cuttings. They may look small, but will make the best vines. Good culture isas necessary to the vine as to corn or cabbage. *Mualehing and watering the first year should not be neglected if drought is ex- cessive, One good soaking is better thin many sprinklings, More water can be saved with a hoe than can be pytay with a sprivkler, ft'In planting, cut the yine back to two buds, whatever its strength or age. “Summer pruning consists in pinching of weak and stragglivg shoots in order to confine the sap to the main branches. “The first summer allow but one main shoot to gruw. In the fall, after the first frust, cut all the summer growth back to withiy two bads of the ground. f' Phe second year coytine the sap te two branches, and in the fall cut back to three buds each. “Phe third year, if your vine has made vigorous growth, a few stems of grapes pray be allowed ty mature, byt hetter take ptf all the fruit than to suffer too much to grow. ~ “Too heavy bearing while young will weaken the vine for all future time. The trimming noy depends on what kind of trellis you wish to cover. “After you have obtained a good, vig- orons root, you can make it grow in al- most any.place or shape you wish, by keeping the branches desired tied yp, and all the others pinched back, “Each year a few of the strongest bran- ches sliould be allowed to grow as_ bear- ers of fruit the following year. ‘In trimming, cut away as nucl of the old wood a8 possible, and saye the npw, asall the fruit buds gre on the now wood, “You cay easily tell how navh to ent away by holding your new wood up to the trellis, and imagining a braych with three stems of grapes for each bud. “If you do not eut off enough in the fall, and you find that the vine is gying to he too thick, do not fail to attend to it whon the new shoots are from three to six inches long, in the spring, or while ip blossom, As soon as tho fruit ig set, ex- amine the vine; spread gut the yew wood go that each bunch of grapes will hang free and clear ; pick off all the small stems of fruit, and fusten the vines securely, so that the wind wi}l not destroy your crop by breaking the young and teuder branch- Fs, “When the wood has grown gq that there are three Jegyes beyond the last bunch of grapes, examine the vine, se- Jeet the bpanehes you wish tg save for fruit- bearing the coming year, and keep them tied a 4 until they have groyy as jong as you wish to make yae of. ‘Phe ends of the ther bearing branehes should be pineh- ed off as soon as they reach this point, ‘three leaves bevagnd the last stem of | grapes.’ “Break off all shoot and lattrals as fast ag they make their appearance, but on ro peconnt injure the leayes on the bearing ganes, “The frajt wil} golor but not ripen jf the Jeaves are destroyed, “Grapes for full aud winter use should be pic soon as 919, gud when per- cked in fine, gry sawdust, . box or jar, coyer the bottom with ust and then put jn layers ot fMpes ang apwdust alternately yotil fall, Keep them in the goglest plage you can find frge from frost, gytjl wanted for use.” — beh ae POFASH IN AGRICULTURE, it is especially advisable to apply the potash compoynds—nol alone, but mixed with ates and pitragenous fertili- gr. In this way the best practigal re- oults have been obtained, Peravian gna- uv, ammoniated syperphosphates, bone aud fish, furnish nitregen, phosphoric peid and lime, and, if superphosphated, pulphuric acid als». The potash salts supply potash with more or less acid and Sach mi - ) fore, would form “consplete fertilizers. “The following are the most important practical eque)usions eeneernjng the use of German potash salts as fertilizers ; 1, Potassium, the best of potash eom- our cultivated plants. It has at least one specific office in the nutrition of the plant that of aiding in the formation of carbo- hydrates (stareh.) Withont a plentiful supply of potash in available forms, full crops are impossible. 2. The German potash salts affor] at present the cheapest and most available supply of potash for fertilizers. They supply also more or less of magnesia and sulphuric acid, which are essential ingre- dients of plant-food and sometimes defi- cient iu our soils, and of sodiam and chloride compounids, whieh latter may be beneficial or harmful, aceording to the cireumstances of their nse. 3. The higher grades will be most pro- fitable fur use in this country, beeanse they furnish the most potassiam with the least admixture of inferior materials, on which costs of freight and handling must be paid. The chlorides, (muriates,) with 60-84 per cout. of chloride of potassium, and the sulphates, with 70 to 89 per cent. of potash and magnesia, with 54.57 per cent. of sulphate of potash, are to be especially recommended. 4. For potatoes, sugar-beets or tobac- co, the salphates aro preferable; fer oth- er crops, the chlorides, which are cheap- er, are equally good. 5. In order to secure uniform diffusion through the soil, the potash salts should be applied as long as possible before the crop is sown. It is well to mix with earth, or to compost, before applying, es- pecially if used shortly before sowing the secd. Aud, in general, potash salts are well adapted for composting with muck, earth, stable manure, phosphates, and the like. ; 6. The best results are generally ob- tained by using potash salts not alone, but with other fertilizers, as superphos- phates, guanos and fish. Mixtures of these latter with potash salts farm ‘‘eom- plete fertilizers.” The proper use of po- tash salts is as adjuucts to other fertili- zers. 7. From 200 Tbs. to 400 or 500 Tbs. per acre of the higher, and 300 to 600 Ibs. of the lower grades are appropriate quanti- ties. g. The question of the need of potash in a given soil, can be best decided by actual trial. It will be generally advi- sable to test the question by experiments on a small scale, before making large purchases. —Prof. W. O. Atwater, en Re- port of Connecticut Board of Agricu!- ture. — ame SITTING HENS. The nests of sitting hens should be made in a good sized box, sufficiently large for the fowl to turn around in. or otherwise shift her position, without in- convenience. Three or four inches of moist earth, finely pulverized, should be placed iu the bottom of the box, forming the foundation of the Make the surface of the earth slightly concave, line with soft, clean, sweet hay, spcinkled with sulphur. Place the box where othe fowls, dogs or other animals will not dis- turb the sitter; provide food, water and a dust bath for her necessities, place thir- teen to fifteen eggs under her and patient- ly await results, The dirt in the bottom of the nest should be kept slightly moiat during the inenba- ting period, This ean be done by gently raising the sides of the hay aud sprinkling the exposed surfyee of the dirt with tepid water, A greyt sonreo of annoyanee and lose to the poultry rajser is produced by a neglect of the above mentioned preean- tions. Nouair must cireulate under the eggs, as is often the ease when the nest is located in an elevated box, partially filled with hay only. The temperature of the eggs cannot be kept at the proper point and they soon become addled. Dis- turbing the sitter at frequent and irregu- lar periods produces the same results. The true way is to imitate nature, as far as possible, which provides a moist, cool nest and perfect quict.—.V. O. Home Jour- nal. nest, ——— >> eee _____ VREPARING COMPOST. The best are made of stable manure, eotton seed and acid phosphate or d'ssol- ved bones, Proportions of iugredients vary with the erop and land to which it is to be applied, For cotton on medium lands, five bushels each of manure and seed to one hundred pounds of phosphate —on poorer lands increase the quantity of manare and seed, and decrease them on richer soils. For corn, ten to fifteen bushels of each to one hundred pounds of phosphate, Put down a layer of cotton seed, say two inches thick, seatter phos- phate on this, then stable manure, same thick npas—cotton secd again, and so on, finishing off with a layer of rieh earth. Wet the whole thoroughly asit is being put pp, and tramp down very firmly to prevent pverheating. Thrust a stick down iy the mass at intervals, and if, af- ter Jetting It remain ten minuntea, it is found uncomfortably hot to the hand, make gumerous holes with a stick or crowbap and pour in water freely to quenel the heat. It is not neceagary tq protec; from weather, hut do not pat un- der the pves of buildings. A compost prepared as above may be used in four weeks after it is put off—bat two or three months is better. The same materials may also be used without composting, by scattering the cotton seed and stable manure in a drill and afterwards the phosphate upon them, Do this in February, list with two fur- pounds, is indispensable to the growth of — body.
