Edisou’s electrie light for streets and dwellings is pronounced a success. The difficulty has been to obtain a substance which would stand the heat without be- fog consumed. Platinum was at one time thought to be the ouly available sub- stance, and this could not be obtained in sufficient quantity. Finally, Mr. Edison tried a carbonized paper, which was found to auswer the purpose, but not yielding a0 bright a light as platinum.

The young king of Spain records two narrow escapes since his reign began. The kings of Germany, Russia and Italy, have also had their narrow escapes. Marksmanship is a little better in this coun- try than anywhere else, we believe, and he would be a daring man -indeed who would attempt to play the part of a king in a coun- try where the people “can't see” the ‘di- vine right.” reo Maine.—The reports from. the capital of Maine, this morning are exciting. _The Republicans sought to carry ont their game, first by bluster; then by bribes, the evidence of which is published. But the Governor and council were men of as good pluck as they on the other side. The Democrats hold the fort. They have or- ganized and the Governor has acknowl- edge them. There are only three or four republican members who refuse to answer to their’ names and take part.

He reyeala them ina most deplorable condi- tion. He found them quarted in miserable shanties without firewood and provisions— sleeping on benches and covering with cof- fee sacks. Scarlet fever and diphtheria had broken out among them, and some eight or ten had died. Out of 25 whom he saw, 12 were sick and others complaining. Their suffering is.simply terrible, and the people in the neighborhood are afraid to go ner them. This is the price of their folly in leaving pleasant homes to hunt for better. > aa The revival of business manifests iteelf in unusual energy in business operations. Men trade quick and pay freely 100 per cent. more for goods than they did 12 or even 4 months ago. Whether or not the present status of business affairs can stand is an interesting question. Is the sudden revival of trade and rapid advance in prices likely to stand for any ctnsider- able length of time? Wo think it doubt- ful, and the full when it comes, may come as suddealy as the rise, and overwhelin many aman now tempted to adventure into dangerous positions for the sake of making money rapidly. Wo would begin the new year, therefore, with a word of warning: Pay your old debts while times are good and be careful to have none hang- ing over you should a sudden change come. a There was quite a stir among the Trish people of New York city on the 2d inst., by the arrival at that port of the famous Irish agitator, Mr. Parnell and his com- panions. They were met and welcomed to America by a large delegation. Mr. Parnell has distinguished himself by his unswerving devotion to Treland’s cause, aud has come to America to stir yp the syinpathy of the people of that country residentinthis, The trouble complained of is an old system of extortion by land- owners, must of whom are English and living in England, which though long borne and in prosperous times not much felt, at other and less favorable times is ex- ceedingly oppressive, Now, it is said, the people are not only uvable to sustain the burdens laid on them, but chat starvation threatens them, and hence the loud wails of distress, and the relentless effurts of leading men to obtain relief. It is believ- ed the English Parliament will do what it can to grant relief; but the disease is of a nature uot easily or speedily relieved. It seems to be of the nature of a contract between individuals—between landlord and tenant—with which the government can have but little to do, except in the fu- ture, Which will not prevent the present suffering. The government can, and no doubt will, vote a relief fund and save her Irish subjects from actual starvation ; but in the present temper of suffering tenants this will hardly satigfy them: they crave a permanent relief from the oppressions of the ancient system which is constantly pressing them down. —_—_—_— b> a —— A TERRIBLE FAMINE IN) TURKEY.-- Constantinople, January 4.—Telegrams received from the British Consuls state that a terrible famine prevails in the dis-, tricts of Baskali and Bayasid in Armenia.

Think of this and give Shriner’s Indian Vermifuge occasionally to your children, News From Indiana. ¢ a C. A. Scott was sent by the colored people of Wayne and Johnston counties to Indiana to spy out the land and report, He visited several places in that State, and also Kansas City in Missouri. He has returned, and has been interviewed at length by the Goldsboro Messenger. Some of the negroes already iv, Indiana have not secured homes. We quote a part of what he says, as the interview is far too long for our columns. We give the most important parts. He said among other things: “I saw some that had good places about and near the towns and they seemed to be satisfied. ‘They are getting along well but have to work hard. Men get from $12 to $15:a month, and women whe un- derstand cooking aud washing are. paid from -$8 to $12 a month. The women re- port that-the people there are more par- ticular than here and more is expected of them. They must rise early and work till late. Our ordinary cooks would not suit. them. I anly sis one instance. That was «a woman who !.cd left the Suttons, near LaGrange. She had hired to a col- ored man vamed Henry Thompson, bat failed to give satisfaction, and she went back to the church looking for another place. “Think there is plenty work in Indiana for industrious emigrants, but women and children can find mere work here during the cotton cropping and cotton picking time. The farming is mostly done by men and with labor saving machinery. The hoe is used but little, and of course they make no cotton. The farming sys- tem is altogether different from our sys- tem, and at this season of the year there is but little done on the farm. The lands are rich—better than ours. ‘They require no gnanos, ‘There is strong opposition to their coming. It comes, mostly from Democrats and the poorer classes, but amounts to nothing aud will not lead to any trouble unless the colored emigrants should go in too large nambers, or shonld displace any considerable number of white laborers. This I think. would antagonize them. There are but tew col- ored people in that State, and the labor- ing classes are principally whites. Our friends there advise the colored people to come in smaller crowds. Industrious colored meu can do well there; think bet- ter than here, but idlers and lazy ones bet- ter stay here. There are no street loaf- ers there. More work is required there than here, and the labarers receive less indulgence. No idle time is paid for. There is better discipline. Think they must work a good deal harder than they do here, but the wages are higher. There inust be some suffering among those who do not provide for winter during the sum- mer. They ean’t make full time, but coal is cheap, only about $3 a ton. Wood is very high,and costs from $38 to 810 a cord, Provisions generally are reasonably cheap, “Many asked meif the coloured people were not badly treated here, but I told them it was not so. I think there is strong prejudice among the Democrats of Indiana —a good deal more than there is here.” “No, I don’t advise them to go. Of course I was sent there to find ous what ITsaw, and then they must decide for themselves, 1 don’t think they will leave here in any considerable uumber. Since IT have returned they cell on me day and night. I tell them if they will go they had better wait till spring or until warm- er weather sets in. I would advise no one to go unless he has enough money to pay his expenses and to be independent after he gets there.— Wilinington Star. aa From the Wilmington Star. Republican Prospects in) North Carolina. - We have noticed recently in several Northern Republican papers that in their speculation as to the political prospects of 13820 for their party, they are pleased to cousider North Carolina as one of those States that can be carried by them in the Presidential clection. When we first saw this claim advanced we did not think it worth treating seriously. Nor do we now so regard it, only as far as they may gain success through Democ.atic bluuders. It is possible that the Demo- crats should luse a Congressional dis- trict or two by refusing to vote, by split- ting up among themselves, or by nomina- ting some man the rank and file do not want. It is possible that even the State ticket would be beaten if the wrong men are selected, Buton the other hand, it islcertain that men if of popularity and per- sonal worth are put in nominatioun—men who can unite the party solidly and cre- ate enthusiasm throughouteNorth Caroli- na—the victory will be complete, and the State will go Democratic by from 10,000 toz25,000 majority. 1t all depends upon the ticket. ° But let us see what our opponents have to say about it. A correspondent of the Boston Trareller has been making a gen- eral survey of the South, and he gives as the result of his observations and of an extensive correspondence the follow- ing: 4 “After a careful study of the Southern fields and an extensive correspondence with Southern men, I have become con- vineed that there are twenty-seven dis- tricts in the sixteen States of the South which can be carried by efforts which Republicans are ready to make, provided they receive such assistence in money and speakers as will be granted as a matter of course to New York, New Jersey, Con- neotiog se yuaians and Ohio,” Heré™then is asserted that in the South there are twenty-seven Congressional districts that may be carried. ‘That some of these are in North Carolina appears from other correspondents of Kepubli- can papers and from the editorials of the organs, The thing needed according to the oracle is “‘movey and speakers.” The Baltimore American, a very staunch orgau of the Stalwarts, in a_re- cent editorial said that the Repulicans had “a good deal more than a living chance” in this State. It even went so far as to prophecy that if a strong Repub- lican ticket was selected that North Car- olino “will have the honor to be first to break the line of the Solid South.” That the wish is father to to be thought in this instance we think certain. But let us see what is the American’s basis of calculation. It says: . -“The last time they carried the State was in 1872, when their vote was 93,000 a hima ta = land the Deniocratic 96,000. “But in 1876 they polled 110,000 against the Democra- tic 123,000 on the .Governorship, thus showing a gain wf 12,000, © ap a they had to contend against Zeb Vance, the most popular man in the State who “was at the head of the democratic. tirket. Other? causes operating to Republican disadvantange were the sqnandering of money by the ature consadbol. by the party nominally for railroads, but of whieh the-roads got only.a fraction, and. and the hustility of the, maantaineers: to; the whiskey tax. Last year the Repabli- cane -searcely ended. to. cauduct..a campaign, yet they elected two Congress- men, Now the party is in victorious life, aud only needs organization for effective work, Popular opinian.. ia turning against the Democrats, because of heavy tuxation the failure to keep their promise of reforiy and retreschment, the depriva- tion of the people of their right to elect county commissioners and township offi- cers, und the fear that the Democracy: is pledged to further railroad subsidies.” The people have not forgotten, nor will forget in 1830 that the Republicans “squandered” the money. The -moun- taineers are still “hostile” to the ‘whis-_ key tax.” The nat Congressional. elect- ions were not any. tests of Democratic strength in the varions districts, and the Republicans of North Carolina well an- derstand that.. The Democrats have not increased but very greetly reduced the burdens of the people, and there have been in many instances great “retrench- ment and reform.” When the cawpaign opens all this will be made so plain that the way faring man, though a fool, cannot err therein. The Democrats are abun- dantly able to meet theirenimies. When a Republican offers to rebnke a Democrat in North Carolina because of any waste- fullness, extravagance, or dishonesty of his party, he is at once reminded of the saw about Satan rebnking sin. It is re- garded as about as cheeky as for Hayes to rebuke Gracelon for counting out Republican votes and defrauding the people. But, as we have said, the result depends upou the «ticket. The Demo- crats have it in their power to obtain a splendid victory. They will not be apt to abuse their power to gratify the Re- publicaus. All needed is harmony among themseves and an honest count. e a ee New Administration in New York. Gov. Cornell, of New York, was for- mally inaugurated at Albany yesterday, and the occasion gave rise to mutal good wishes and compliments between the re- tiring and the incoming governor. Noth- ing could have been more trathfally or handsomely said that the tribute paid by Goy. Cornell to Gov. Robinson, who, he said, had vigorously and fearlessly exer- cised his official prerogatives, and given his administration high rank with those which had preceeded it.” Gov. Cornell then added that for a Jong time it had seemed to him that we were quick to find fault with public men, but careleas in ex- pressing appreciation of faithful service, and that perhaps more discrimination in this regard would contribute quite as much to clevate our public service as some remedies which had been suggested for prescnt evils. —-- Grant Snubs the Herald. Washington, December 39.—The New York Herald largely responsible for bring- ing General Grant before the public as a presidential candidate; bunt since the furore has started it has been trying to hedge, and recently that paper has con- tained many powerful arguments why Grant should not be nominated again. These articles aye coutained many se- vere criticisms upou Grant, and no doubt he has read them, for the Herald applied to the General yesterday fer permission for Jerome Stilson, one of its correspon- dents, toaceompany him on his trip to Cuba and Mexico. The General replied by telegraph quite curtly that it would not be agreeable to have Mr. Stikkon accom- pany the party.—Cincinnati Commercial. ee FaILures IN NEw York.—The total number of mercantile misfortunes in New York city during the year 1879 was about half as great as in the preceding year, while the gross liabilities were about one- quarter as larges During the past year 460 failures were reported, with liabili- ties aggregating , 316,383,'32, and assets $5,160,033. For the year 13873 there were 917 failures, with liabilities amounting to $64,000,000 in round numbers, with assets of 318,000,000—the largest of any year since the panic of 1873. The New York Bulletin regards this exhibit as another strong proof of returning prosperity. ee MECKLENBURG’S CRIMINALS —In_ the county jail there are now 44 prisoners— two of whom were sent there by United States courts. Of the remainder, 16 are serving out sentences on the chain gang, and 26 are awaiting trial. There are on- ly two whites, one of whom is a United States prisoner. It isa fact worthy of note that 12 of the number awaiting trial are charged with the crime of murder, or as accessories.

A man near Sapona may more easi- ly clear ten acres of yround, than in some places he can one; there being much J6ose stone upen the land, lying very convenient for making of dry walls or any other sort of durable fence. The country abounds like- wise with curious bold creeks navigable for small craft, disgorging themselves into the main rivers that vent themselves into the ocean.” (Lawson Hist. N. C., p. 80.) Of the last day’s journey before 1eaching Sapona—he says: “That day we passed over a delicious country—none that I ever saw exceeds it. We saw fine bladed grass six feet lnigh along the banks of the rivulets. Coming that day about thirty miles, we reached the fertile and pleasant banks of the Sapona river, whereon stands the Indian Town and fort; nor could all Europe ifford a pleasanter stream, were it inhabited by Christians and cultivated by ingenious hands, . This mort pleasant river may be something broader than the Thames at Kingston, keeping a continual warbling noise with its reverberating upon the bright marble rocks.” [Marble, in its general sig- nification means any kind of a mineral of a compact texture and susceptible to a good polish, whether limestone. serpentine, por- phyry or granite (see Webster.) From his frequent mention of marble, as found in South Carolina and North Carolina, we in- fer that Lawson used the word inthis broad sense, as applicable to granite, sandstone, slate, cte.] “It is beautitied by a numerous train of swans and other water fowl, not common, though extraordinary pleasing to the eye.

RB. | It is but natural that the inhabitants of a| country should desire to trace back its his- | tory as far as possible. No doubt many of | the citizens of Rowan, the queenly mother | of more than a score of counties—would love | to know the early history of their native | scription. place, the appearance of the country when first seen by civilized men, and the charac- | ter of the original inhabitants. occasion to make some examination of ear- | ‘ly documents and historics, and to consult | some of the oldest citizens whose memories | the writer has conceived the opinion that some of his fellow citizens would be glad to have access to some of these facts; and through the kindness of the Editor of the| Watehman, a tew sketches will be furnished for their entertainment, We have a vague impression that the ear- | central part under cultivation, but its edges ' 2a vay : ges ly white settlers found herea vast unbroken | oo Z ee. oe | wilderness, covered with dense forests, with | here and there a cluster of Indian wigwains, and yaricd with an occasional band of paint- ed savages on the war path, ora hunting party armed with tomahawks, bows and ar- rows. But beyond these vague impressions we have little detinite knowledge. Nor is it possible at this late day to rescue from ob- livion much valuable knowledge that could | have been gathered a generation or two ago. Still there are scattered facts lying at vari- ous places, that may be collected and woven into a broken narrative, that will be more satisfactory than the vague impressions now | in our possession, | The earliest accounts of the hill-country | of North Carelina, accessible to the writer, | are those contained in Lawson‘s account of | a journey from Charleston to Pamlico Sound, in the year 1701. Starting from the former | place in December, 1700 he passed around }to the mouth ef Santee river in a boat, and | thenee up that stream for a distance in the same way. Then leaving the river he pass- ,ed up between the Santee and Peedee rivers, } until he crossed the Yadkin river at Trad- ing Ford, within six miles of where Salis- | bury now stands. As there were no Euro- | pean settlers from the lower Santee to Pam- i lico, and as he often forgets to mention the iscenes through which he passed, it is very | difficult to trace hisexact route. Still there i are some waymarks by which we can iden- | ity a part of his coyrae. Among the first | of these 1s the High Hills of Santee, in Sum- ter county, South Carolina, Then the Wax- saws, Kadapaus (Catawbas) and Sugarees, | have left names behind them that indicate the spots he visited, The name, “Sugarce,” suggests the inquiry whether the ancient name of Sugar Creek, was not Sugaree, rath- ier than “Sugaw,” as found in old records. | From the Catawbas, Mr. Lawson travelled about one hundred miles, at a rough esti- mate, to Sapona Town, on the Sapona rier. Taking into account the distance, in a route somewhat circuitous, the size of the river, and the description of the locality, there can remain little doubt on a reasonable mind that the place indicated ys Sapona Town, was the Indian settlement on the Yadkin River, near Trading Ford. This view is confirmed by the names and distan- ces that are mentioned beyond the Sapona river, such as Heighwarrie (Uwharie) Sissi- pahaw, (Haw), Eno, the Occaneechees, the Neuse, which correspond exactly with places and distances as now known. It is true that Lawson says that the Sapona is the “West branch of the Clarendon, or Cape Fair riy- er,’ from which some have supposed that he meant the Deep River. On the other hand, it is a note-worthy fact that Col, Byrd, the author of the “History of the Dividing Line,” a man of varied learning and close observa- tion, says that Deep River is the “North branch of the Peedee.” The error in both cases is excusable, from the faet that the laces mentioned are several hundred miles in the interior, and far beyond the extreme verge of civilization. The region of country, befure reaching the Sapona, that is, the territory now occu- | j}ishind made by the river and a branch, there | 81, 84 etc.) | The foregoing quotation presents several / with dense forests as we are apt toimagine, AN COUNTY) can afford. * * Taken with the pleas- | antness of the place we walked along the where we found a delightful being several such plots of ground environ- ed by this silver stream. Nor can anything be desired by a contented mind ag to a pleasant situation, but what may here be found, every step presenting some jnew object which still adds invitation to the traveller in these parts.” Lawson, p. p. | points of interest. The first is that the coun- try was not then—180 years ago—clothed but was either open prairie, or dotted here and there with trees, ike the parks of the old country. Along thestreams, as we gath- er from other paces of his narrative, there were trees of gigantic height, so high that | they could not kill turkeys resting on the! upper branches. This agrees with the re collection of the older citizens, and the tra- ditions handed down from their fathers. A venerable citizen now livin in the south western part of this county, remembers when | the region called Sandy Ridge was destitute | of forests, and that his father told him that, | If the farmers of Unity, along the ereck, | when he settled there about 1750, he had to | let them! st | Another honored citizen haul the logs for his house nore than amile. | of Iredell, lately | deceased, told the writer that he recollected | | the time when the highlands between Fourth ' | Creek and Third Creek were open prairies, | W.R. FB, | covered with grass and wild pea-vines, and | ithat the wild deer would mingle with their herds of cattle as they grazed. A stock | law in those days would have been very un-| popular, however desirable in these days of | thicker settlements and extended farms. ~ | Another point is the exceeding beauty | , and fertility of the valleys of the Sapona or who would read the description of Lawson, | standing on the Indian Hill on the banks of | the Yadkina mile below Trading Ford, | could hardly fail to recognize inthe sur-| rounding scentry gvery feature of the de-| Beneath his feet would be the! mound whereon stood the Sapona fort, sur: | rounded by palisadoes. A hundred) yards! Having had | south east rolls the waters of the stream in- | to which Lawson feared that the Northwest | storm of wind would blow him. Around | him, on the mound and on the plain below, | are stored with the traditions of the past, | lie innumerable fragments of pottery, with | | rude decorations, flint arrow heads, bones, | shells, ete. Around him is a large level pla- | 'teau of fertile land, perhaps one thousand | acres in extent, a part of the famed “Jersey | lands.” Just above the ford is the beauti- | ful island containing a hundred acres—thie | | fringed with trees and clambering vines. In the centre of the Island he will find an In- | dian burying ground, where numerous bones are turned over by the pfow, and where | Indian pottery and a hugh Indian batt eaxe |! have been found. Below the ford are sever- | the smoothe flowing stream, The swans, | beavers, deer and buffaloes have fled before the march of civilization, but on the South | | side of the stream still stand the bold bluffs | rising abruptly from the river bank. Some} of these heights are now clothed with ce. | dars, and other forest trees, but one of them | is crowned with an old family mansion, that | was formerly known as “THE HEIGHTS OF | GoweERIE.” At the foot of the hillis a| spring of pure cold water, and near by a/ mill, driven by water drawn from the river above, by a long canal. <A cedar grove waves its evergreen branchies along the level stretch of ground opposite the Island. Not many years ago a lady, with the hectic flush upon her cheeks, returned froma distant land, to visit for the last time, her native place—the old mansion on the hill. She was | accompanied by a gentleman residing in the neighborhood, who after her departure pen- ned the following lines, in which he has in- terwoven a description of the surrounding | scenery, and which he courteously furnish- | ed at the request of the writer. HEIGHTS OF GOWRRIE. Pensive I stand on Gowerile's height. All bathed in autumn’s mellow light— My childbood’s happy home ; Where Yadkin folls its tide along, With many a wail and mournful song, As its Waters dash and foain. And memory’s harp tunes all its strings, When I catch the dirge the river sings, AS it sweeps by Gowerie’s side. Ant viewless Longues oft speak to me, Some in sorrow and some in glee, From the river's fitful tide. On yonisle, just up the river, Where sunbeams dance and leafiets quiver, Three fancied forms I see. That blest—that sainted trio baad, Together walk adown the strand, « Aad wave their hands at me. A father ’t{s, whom yct I mourn, And sisters’two, who long have gone— Gone to the other shore. They beck me to the goodly land, Where, with ihem, I'l] walk hand in hand, Ne’er to be parted more.

Theanbonneement, how- ever proved unfounded. It will be some time before Menlo Park will be thorongh- ly lighted by electricity, but the prepara- tions for this event are rapidly being pushed forward. The account says: Lamp posts are being erected at every available point, and the copper wires which are to convey the electricity are being stretched along the sidewalks and connected with the houses. The lamp posts are of hollow iron, painted white ou which the carbon lamp is inclused. The wires pass up the hollow post and con- nect with the lamp. Only three of these street lamps are yet burning, two in front of Mr. Edison’s office and one in front of his house. These are kept incandescent night and day, with a view to testing the fusibility of the carbon horseshoes. One’ of the lamps in the laboratory las been burning, it. is asserted by Mr. Edison, fourteen botirs a day for twenty-two days, and the carbon has apparently lost none of its weight or power of resistance to the electric current. “Suppose,” said Mr. Edison, “that on an average each lamp in the house is buruing for five hours every day. ‘Thatlamp has now burned 303 hours, which would be equivalent to over sixty days in an ordinary house. How long the carvon will last I cannot say. That is what we are experimenting on now. Tam waiting for one of my carbon horseshoes to consume.” There will be no regular illumination of Menlo Park for the present. Each generator of electricity will furnish only forty lamps, and Mr. Edison has only one generator connected with his eighty-horse power engine now. He requires nineteen before he can light the eight huudred lamps which he estimates that his engine willsupply. As each generator is com- pleted, he will add to the numper of his lamps, and thus, in time, Menlo Park will be thoroughly illuminated. Wher this will be, the inventor himself is una- ble to say. In the meantime, all visitors are made heartily welcome at the labora- tory, and every facility is offered for the investigation of the new electric light. ame - The Democratic view has always been that the functions of returning boards are ministerial only, and on this view Demo- crats and all other parties had steadily act- cd until some fifteen years ago, when Re- publican returning boards commenced the pratice of assuming judicial functions.

We never did fancy the “cropping on shares” system of plantingand will uot-adeptit again. A copartnership of any sort on the farm is objectiona- ble. To make such a thing fair and equitable each party should have etj0al investments in the concern, and we have never yet seen the farmer that estimated time and supervison as vf any value when he contracted with a laborer for a part of the crop. Two men going into busincss together should in the outset furnish an eqoal mount. of capital, which upon our farms means three things, “to wit: ititelligence, subsistence and labor. In this instance the first of these three prerequisites ia seldom furnished by uae. party to the second part of the contract, and not mach more freq uent- ly do they furnish a liberal supply of of the sécond, and it is at all times a difficult matter to determine just ex- actly what proportion of the crop the ‘the third element in the copartner- ship is worth. We invariably preter paying for labor in money, and not in_g portion of the crop. : “We therefere say to our friend, or any other farmer who is now contem- plating sowing a crop of any kind, the land is yours, the manure, if any is used, is yours. Then hire the labor of both man and animals if you have no plough mules of your own; and superintend the sowing and the harvesting. We do not know how it is other farmers, but we could never in- duce a negro to pitch a crop satisfac- torily to us in which he had an iuter- est. Ifthe grain is covered they are satisfied, for they know nothing of any other condition necessary to se- cure a goood crop. And _ uuless the farmer is present and hus the work done to suit himself, the effort of the copartner will be tu satisfy himself and not his employer. When wages are paid, the ploughing can be done as required, the harvesting can be in the same way dirccted, and then at division time there is no chance for quibling or objections. Hence we say to our friend, plough vour land deep and well with hired labor, and put your crop in your own bins.—D. Wyatt Aiken, in Charleston News. - Seasonable with Hints. That sterling agriculturist, R. B. Thomas, has condensed a good deal of winter farming in these few short sentences: “A spur in the head is worth two in the heels. Head work is what we want onthe farm. It is brain power that makes things move in this world, and keeps them on the track. Make and lay out the plans for the year. Map out the fields so as to know just where and when to put in the work. The great secret of luck en the farm isto dothings at the right time and in the right time and in the right way. A note-book in the pocket is a handy thing. Strict farm accounts with each Jot under its own head, tell a plain and true story. Jot down a new thought on the spot. It saves aheap oftime. Hire hands eafly: The best are sure to be snatch- ed up first, and the best are the cheap- est in the end even if they cost a lit- tle more by the month. Keep barns and sheds clean, the touls under cover and allin their place. It doesn’t impreve the carts, the ploughs, the horserakes or the sleighs, to let the hens roost on them. ‘he butts and stalks of corn ought to be eut short to be fed to cows. It savesa great deal. All steck ought to be kept clean and im pure air, not too cold. Keep the cellar asclean as wax. Put on a good coat of lime wash; you can do it now as well as in the Spring. Fill the ice house.’ ee eee ee What Crops to leave in the Soil. Many farmers are rather slow to learn that what they take out of and off of the soil in the form, of a crop, must be paid back to the soil, or it becomes greatly imporished, Igno- vanee to this great law of nature, has eau Oman; worn out, worthless farms oo the country, and it is high farmers should begin to realize that that they must pay back Mbthey get from their soil, or else stand condemned as murderers of life giving sail heqneat): doar fi tog igte their: hands in tue ordci vi i’revi- dence, and transmitting to their chil-| ——— ee! - * Ss Oa this point if may” not’ be amiss topublish the experiments made in Gitaaib by. Dr, \ reiske and severat other savants, showing that the stub- ble and roots in the earth, by erops that have been. harvested,’ add to:the soil much more. nutritive value than is commonly supposed. . These. ex- periments fully explain the great. value of clover as a preparatory crop for wheat, and for all other crops that are nut manured with nitrogen, pot- ash and phosphates. The clover of a single acre has been found to leave tiitrogen enough for 116 bushels of wheat, phosphurie acid enough for 114 bushels, and potash enough for 78 bushels, More- over, it is found that most of this valuable material is left in the best possible condition for use. Whether the nitrogen: of the clover comes wholly or partly from the soil, or from the air, it is certainly taken from a condition in which .it is. of little use to mostrerops, and it is coverted into an available one, so that practi- cally, the clover is a creator of nitro- gen iu the soil, as it is also an effi- cient purveyor of potash and phos- phoric acid.— Rural Sun. -e- —— Sorghum Sugar. Dr. Collyer the chemist of the agri- cultural Departwent at Washington D. C. in a recent interview on the subject of making sugar from corn and sorghum seed. _ “If Congress will give me ten acres of land to experiment on next season, I will return twenty tons of raw sorghum sugar fully equal to the best raw cane sugar or forfeit my re- putation ; that is, two tons to the acre and is a much better result than they reach on the“average in Louisiana with sugar cane. The corn crop of Illinois, for example,” said Dr. Coll- year, “is worth about $75,000,000 an- nually. If they will devote one-tenth of the acreage to sorghum, of the variety best suited to that latitude, they can raise sugar in amount equal to our whole annual importation, which is about $100,000,000 worth, and even this will only equal fifty per cent, of the most favorable of my experiments, “TILE SECRET,” he continued, “now that the method of crystilization is understood, is sim- ply in the time to gather the crop, and in this 1e pect my experiments are complete and conclusive.” “What is the total cost of produc- tion?” the doctor was asked. | “Well, on that point I can’t speak so definitely ; but I see no reason why it should exceed three cents a pound, Raw sugars now cost a frac- tion more than six cents a pound but about 45 per cent of that is for duties. We can certainly raise sugar from sorghum much CHEAPER THAN WE CAN BUY ABROAD.” IT “How about the extent of territory adapted to the growth of sorghum?” “Therein isthe great advantage. All through this central belt of the states, and well into the North and South, sorghum can be grown with ease. The advantage of the early Amber, which is the species from which the successes in Illinois have been gained, is that it matnres be- fore the season gets two far past. In Louisiana it takes nine, and some times twelve months’ close attention to the sugar cane, anyway, is not in- digenous to Louisiana, but is an exotic.” a A Mixture of Grasses. It is a well known fact that mix- ed crops are more produetive than those sown singly. Thus one acre sown to oats and peas, will yield as much, or nearly so, as two acres sown singly to either crop. So grass lands, clover and timothy mixed will pro- duce nearly twice as much as if the ground were seeded to one of these alone. It is also a well known fact, that our grass lands are not so pro- ductive as we could wish, and the reason of this may be, and probably is, that we have but one or two kinds of herbage in them. If we examine an old, thick, luxurant sod, in a pas- ture ora meadow, it will be found to consis of a variety of grasses and oth- er plants, each of which seems to vie with the other in occupying the soil for itself. This is the result of natural seeding, and gives us a lesson which we may well profit by. There is another reason why grasses should be mixed ; this is that the periods of greatest vigor uf differeat varieties oc eur at different times. arin’ salwod--sepustaly'inieetitice Ea ‘tion that’ a miy #€l clover, Timothy a blue-grass will pr which will be in good upto October when. the last is in its most vigorous state, the clover and timothy serving to fill up the inter- val, With one of these alone there would be but one month of good her- bage, aud that coarse if given the whole field to itself. In like manner, a quantity of rye grass added-to a meadow whould help to furuish a quick-growing herbage which rapid- ly and constantly recuperates after eutting or eating down.—American Agricultural. _-——— ~—o PER AcRkE.—A short time ago Gen. John Gibbon, of St. Paul, Minnesota made the assertion that 100 bushels of wheat had been raised on an acre of ground in the Territory of Mon- tana, The statement having been received with incredulity, he wrote to.the president of the Fire National bank in Helena for proof. In reply he received the certificate of the Ter- ritorial fair association that one James L. Ray, of Lewis and Clark county, was awarded first premium for the best acre of wheat, being 102 bush- elsto theacre. This is believed to be the largest yield of wheat on re- cord, eee Sandy LanD EnricueD BY CLov- ER.—When | havea jirece of sandy land that [ wish to enrich by clover, I mow the crop just as it cemmences 1 _conditiosg for gruaing--from April, when the first} metitionéd grass is in five condition, | ONE HUNDRED BusuELsor WHEaT | * es oe ec nl i . & ae sr . fea : x ok e - " ae ; 7s i ’ Bat For Liver Co ae ny —— 4 4 re For Kidney Diseases. ; —_—_ : > ; 8 Zz t- For Rheumatism. = a putie Pleas. — ich, Retention ef CURATINE, j|°"*<* For Berofala Diseases. § ASK YOUR DRUGGIST — FOR IT.

At the Augusta H{ouse every person who entered or went out up to 2 o’clock at least, was an object of suspicion and closely watched until his business was known. This morning the politicians are somewhat nervous, and the Fusien- ists a little panicky. Some of them are anticipating a struggle for the possession of the House, while all are eager for the promised bribery reve- lations. This morning when the House met no Republican was in the hall, and Mr. Lock was the only one in the Senate. This at once gave a clew to the Republiean policy.

The heart is probably the most ef- ficient piece of physical apparatus Known. From a purely mechanical point of view it is something hke eight times as efficient ag‘the test sean, ‘engine. It may be shescribed mechanically, as little more: than dauble force pump furnished with two reservoirs and two pipes of outflows and the main problem of its agtion is hydro-dynamical. The left yegtricle has a capacity of about three ounces ; it beats 75 times a minute; and the work’ done in overcoming the resist- ance of the circulating system is equiv- alent to lifting its charge of blood a little short of ten feet (9°923 fy). The average weight of the heart isa little under ten ounces (9°39 oz.). The dai- ly work of the left venticle is in round numbers, ninety foot-tons; adding the work of the right ventielg, the work of the entire organ is nearly one hun- dred and twenty-five foot-tons. ‘The hourly work of the heart ig according- ly equivalent to lifting itsalf twenty thousand feet an hour. ~ An active climber can average 1,- 000 feet of ascent an hour, or one- twentieth the work of the heart. The prize Alp engine, “Bavaria,” lifted its own weight'2,700 feet an hour, thus demonstrating only one-ejghth the efficien¢y of the heart, Four ele- ments have to be considered in esti- mating the heart’s work : (1) the stat- ical pressure of the blood column equal to the animal’s height, which has to be sustained ; (2) the force con- sumed in overcoming the inertia of the blood-veins ; (3) the resistance of- fered by the capillary vessels ; (4) the friction in the heart itself. This ina state of health, is kept at its minimum by the lubricated serous mambrane of the penicaddi um. ~~ -—_ A Great Inptstry.—The American Man- ufacturer says that, this country is now mak- ing more than one-third ef all the paper in the world.

On the apper waters of the Tar and Neuse rivers dwelt the Tus- the North Carolina Indiggs, occupying tif. teen towns, and having twelve hundred fighting men. The whole Indian population of North Carolina, in the year 1700, not .,;{counting the Catawbas, on the Southern 1,| borders, or the Cherokees, beyond the moun- tains, is estimated at about five thousand. Mr. Lawson speaks of the Indians of North Carolina, as a well shaped, clean-made people, straight, inclined to be tall, of a tawny color, having black or hazel eyes, with the white marbiedby red streaks, They were never bald, but had little or no beard, and they allowed there nails to grow long and untrimned. In their gait, thoy were grave and majestic, never walking back- n} ward and forward in contemplation, as the white people do. They were dexterous and steady with their hands and fect, never let- ting things fall from their hands, never stumbling, able to walk on the smaltest pole across astreain, and could stand onthe rid:-c- pole of a house and leek 'u nconcerned|y over the gableend. But with all their dexterity, the men had a supreme contempt for regu- lar labor. Hunting, fishing and fighting were gentlemanly accomplishments, and in these enterprises the men would undergo any amount of fatigue; but the hocing, dig- ging, and all arduoas Jabor was left exclu- sively to the women. Like the inhabitants of the Mauritius, as wnentioned in Bernardin St. Pievre’s “Paul and Virginia,” they named their months, by some outward characteristic, as the month of strawberries, the mouth of mulberries, the month of dog-wood blossoms, the month of herrings, or the month when the turkey gobbles. They had few relicious rites, yet they offered first fruits, and the nore serious jof them threw the first bit, or spoonful of each meal into.the ashes; which they con- sidcred equivalent to the Englishman's pul- ling off his hat and talking when he sat! down to meat. The best view of the theological and re- ligious opinions of the Sapona Indians, who dwelt on the banks of the Yadkin, is that given by “Bearskin,” the Sapona Indian hun- ter, who accompanied the Commissioners of Virginia im rumning the dividing line be- jtween Virginia and North Carolina, in 1728, (See Hist. Div. Line, pp. 50.51.) Insubstance, he stated that they belicred in one supreme God, who made the world a long time aeo,. and superimtended the sun moon and stars: that He had made many worlds befure. | That God ts good, and loves good people, making them rich and healthy, and safe from t t 5 he tale of his adventure as above narrated, with the request that it be given tothe owner ow application. “Whether or no the guode were en ROWAN COUNTY The earliest inhabitants of this°¢ountry known to the Europeans. were thewikl dn- dians of the Catawba, Woccon apd Sapona —who were the terror of the leas warlike caroras, the most numerous and warlike of or eig t Feet rélics.” Sévéral mouBds abounding w pics’ dre-known'to‘exiet'in Culdwell county.

Hence it might prove in- convenient te be known as the slayer, as it was a fatal thing for Abner to be known as the slayer of the light-footed Asahel. ‘In addition to these mounds, Mr. Bald- win, in his “Ancient America” (p. 24,) men- tions “Harrison Mound” in South Carolina; four hundred and eighty feet in cireumfer- ence, and fifteen-feet high. This mound is attributed to the “Mound Builders,” or an- cient Toltecs. A still larger “Mound,” has re- cently been brought to public notice through the columns of the Salisbury Watchman, sit- uated in Old Rowan County—now David- sun—about eight miles from Salisbury. In many respects this is a work of considerable iuterest, both as to its situation and charac- ter, It stands within one hundred yards of the Yadkin River, at the point where Law- son secms to locate *Sapona Town,” on “Sa- pona River,” near the celebrated “Trading Ford.”* As this lies in the ancient territory of Rowan, it will require a more particular notice. The “Trading Ford,” is so named because it was on the ancient “Trading Path,” leading from Virginia to the Cataw- bas and other southern Indians. Cobh Byrd in his History of the Dividing Line, (1728,) describes this “Path” as crossing the Roan- oke at Moni-seep ford, thence over Tar river, Flat river, Litt’e river, Eno, through the Haw O'd Fields, over the Haw, the Aram- anchy, (Alamance) and Deep river. The next point was the Yadkin river, where he savs “The soil was exceedingly fertile on lath sides, abounding in rank grass and prodigiously large trees, and for plenty of) lish. fowl and venison is inferrior to no part) of the Northern continent. There the Tra- | ders commonly lie still for some days to re- | cruit their horses’ flesh, as well as to recov- cr their own spirits.

Near the entrance of this fair land a venerable man examines the character of all, and i! they have behaved well, he opens to them the crystal gate, and allows them to enter, They who are driven to the left hand find arugged path that leads to a barren coun- try of perpetual winter, where the ground is covered with eternal snow, and the trees bear nothing but icicles. The inhabitants are always hungry, yet have nothing to eat except a bitter potatoe, that gives them the gripes and fills the body with painful ulcers. The women there are old, ugly, shrill-voiced, and armed with claws M&e panthers, with which they scratch the men who fail to be enamored with them. At the end of this path sits a dreadful old woman, on a mon- strous toad-stool, with her head covered with rattle-snakes, instead of hair, striking terror into the beholder as she pronouness sentence upon every wretch thet stends at her bar. After this they are delivered to huee turkey-buzzards that carry them off to their dreadful home. After a member of years in this purgatory they are driven back into this world, and another trial given to them. punishments. But these children of nature had very few acts expressive of religious | « feeling, and those of the radest kind. Law- son in His trayele, (Hist. N.C. p. 65) was permitted to witness among the Wexsaws a tiful harvest of corn they had re the summer before, with an wnitcd supplication | t for the like plentiful produce the year en-| i suing.” This ceremony does not seem te have been accompanied by any spoken prag- peaches and bear venison; and a danee.|t Their music was made on a drum construct- ed of anearthen porridge pot, covered with a dressed deerekin, and with gourds having corn in them. It was a masquerade, and their visors were made of gourds, and their ers. Some of the dancers lad great horse- bells tied to thetr legs, and small hawk bells about their necks. Modern civilization has not yet adopted the bells and gourd masks | I of the Waxeaws, but there is no telling what | c “progress” may accomplish in that direc- tion. In these dances the men figured first alone, and after they were done capering,|a the women and girls held the ground for|a about six successive hours. Though the dancing was not “promiscuous,” after the modern style, it was nevertheless accom- panied by. acteso unbecoming and impure as render it highly immoral and corrupting. In addition to this worship .of dancing, addicted to the practice of sacrit'eing chick- en cocks to the god who hurts them, that is the devil. (Hist. N. C. pp. 97, 98). But the Indians were the bones of their ancestors, especially of their chiefs, which they kept rolled up in dressed deerskins, and carried | it with them whereyer they went.

He was @ man wom manhood. He hada brave, strong face, with a strange gentleness in it now, as he stood and watched the girl in the garden. She was the only child of an old friend of his who had left her to him when he died ; he had accepted the trust willingly. He had tried to be faithful to it ; and he had succeeded, ‘She is growing womanhood,’ into beautiful he said to himself, ‘Some one will be robbing me of her one of these days I suppose.’ He sighed a little as he spoke, and the thoughtful look upon his face grew deeper. ‘Unless—’ and then he stopped suddenly, and shook his head, as if to assure himself that’ what had been in his mind that moment was not to be thought of seriously. The girlin the garden began to Her voice was clear as any brid’s, and the still morning air rung with its melody. John Ashley left off thinking to listen. A bird perch- ed on one of the little lilac bushes by sing. the gate began a song in puretivalry. It seemed as if he would split his slender throat in the attempt to out- warble the singer in the garden. She listened a moment, and began again ; she ran up and down the lines of melody in lights and dips of sounds that mage him think of a bird flitting in mid-air. ‘Bravo!’ he cried, clapping his hands as her voice died into silence, and the bird flew up and-away in the blue overhead. ‘You have put your rival to flight. . ‘Why, John !’—she always called him that—‘I didn’t know any one was listening.’ ‘You would he said. make a fortune with ‘But I wouldn’t like to have you try it.’ ‘Why ?’ she asked. ‘Because I don’t want to lose you,’ he answered. ‘You'll never be fortunate enough to do that,’ she laughed. ‘I’m going to stay with you always, John.’ ‘You'll change your mind some- time,’ he said, gravely, looking away toward the mountains in that way he had when a deeply. ‘Wait till Roy comes.’ ‘I wish Roy were here,’ she said, coming up the steps, and stopping close by him. ‘You have told me so about him that I want to see your voice,’ rouch him.’ ‘He will be here to-day or to-mor- row,’ thinking that with Roy’s coming there would be an end of the old quiet life, in which he had Stacia all to himself. Someway it had secmed to him all along as if Roy would marry Stacia. They were suited to each other. He knew of no one he would sooner give to, but—and always at the thought of giving her up to any one there was a curious little pain at his heart. He wanted her for himself. That night Roy came. ‘I like him very mach,’ John Ashley next morning. shall be the best of friends.’ ‘Or lovers,’ he added, with a grave, slow smile. ‘Oh, no; only friends,’ she said, dropping her-eyes before his earnest gaze, while a soft color, like that in a rose’s heart, eame into her face. ‘I’m goin to have no lover but you, John,’ ‘Wait and see,’ he answered. ‘You he answered, her she told ‘We ys “sixteen yards in cireumfer- don’t know your heart yet.’ But Stacia only shook her head. | She and Roy were the best of friends as she had said they would be. She had never ktiown a brother’s-Jove or companionship, and Roy’s_ pleasan ways won a place in her regard fon the first. There were loug ro ‘thinking ne all the world was full of summer sweetness, and. walks in. the twilight. | ‘Retter banter Htioned, ~ sah his. thougts'to keep ‘him com-| ' | And.John Ashley, sitting apart, with’ pany, eaw the'two together, ‘aiid told: Himself that’ what he had foretold had | come true. Roy loved her, and he was going to aie woman he lov- ed. -“T must we a ‘fool to think of dels a thing as linking her life and mine together,’ ‘he said, bitterly, one day, as he stood at the window, watching them rowing slowly up and down the river. ‘I am almost an old man. chad | May and December were not meant y {to mate together. And yet, you wo- men have loved men as much older than they were, as I am older than Stacia. If she could love me how complete life would seem! Without her, I sha always be a_ lonely man.’ One day Roy and Stacia were in the garden together. They were tying up carnations. ‘I don’t know of anything in the world sweeter than carnations except your cheeks,’ said Roy, all at once. ‘That’s a very pretty compliment,’ said Stacia. ‘I suppose I ought to give you something in return. Here is a carnation. That’s fair—you give com- pliments and I’ll pay in carnations.’ ‘I'd rather you’d pay in kisses,’ said Roy. ‘Do you know I am jeal- ous over that kiss you gave uncle John this morning? You never kiss me in that way.’ ‘Because I kecp my kisses, fur the one who loves me best,’ she answered, softly. ‘I love you,’ Roy said, suddenly. ‘You must fave seen that, Stacia! I have loved’ yon since the first time I saw you.’ ‘T never thought you cared for me at least,’ said Sta- cia, pulling away the hand Roy had —not in that way, taken possession of. ‘I hope I haven’t done or said anything to make you think that—’ and then she stopped, at | a loss how to explain her meaning. ‘You hav’nt tried to make me love you, or exerted any wiles to catch me if that is what you mean,’ he answer- ed. ‘But I thought you did care for me, Stacia ?’ ‘So I do, asa very dear brother, she answered. ‘I loveyou very much Roy, but notin the way you meant just now.’ Roy’s face was full of keen disap- pointment. He had hoped to woo and But it could not be. for you, win this girl. ‘IT am sorry, very sorry Roy,’ she said, tenderly, touched by the sight of his disappointment. ‘Let me be your sister Stacia, and forget that you ever thought of me as any- thing else. You shall be brother Roy from this time forth. Is that agreed on Roy?” ‘Yes, since you will have it so,’ he answered. He understood that it useless for him to urge his suit. cia always meant what she said. ‘Let meseal the compact witha kiss, then,’ she said and kissed him, Looking up, after the caress, she saw John Ashley’s face at his window. He had seen lier kiss Roy, and his heart was full of keenest pain at the sight. He thought it was such a kiss as awoman gives to tic man she loves, and sighed to think his life must be barren of such kisses, That night he wasin the parlor alone, thinking of her, whea she came would be Sta- in. ‘T have been hunting for you,’ she said. ‘Iam lonesome; I want some one to talk to.’ She drew a little stoal up to his feet, and sat down, leaning her head upon his knee. ‘Lonesome, are you ?’ he said, strok- ing her yellow hair gently. ‘Where is Roy? He ought to keep you from get- ting lonesome. ‘J don’t waut to talk to Roy,’ sh auswered, ‘I want you, John. eBoy don’t act as you used, came.

It dosen’t, I am going to stay with you always, and be your Stacia.’ ‘Don’t you love Roy? he asked, lifting her face up that he male look into her eyes. ‘Yes, [love Roy ?’ and we're going to be the best of friends. He is broth- er Roy to me, and I am sister Stacia to him,’ ‘And nothing more?’ There was a strange eagerness in his voice, ‘Nothing more,’ she answered soft- ly. 7 ‘Stacia, I wonder—’ he began, and ; stopped suddenly. ‘Wonder what 2? she asked. ‘No matter,’ he answered, getting up and going to the window, where he stood looking out into the night, with a shadow on his face. ‘But I want to know, she said, fol- lowing him and laying her hand apon his arm, ‘Tell me, John ? ‘Would you force me to tell you that I love you?’ he cried, passion- ately. ‘That I have been fool enough to dream that I could make you hap- py? Go away, Stacia, and let me think of my folly, and try to conquer iy ‘Ts it folly to love me? she asked, softly, lifting her shy eyes to his. ‘Oh John, Icould be happier with you than any one else in the world ! ‘Do you mean that you could care for the old man as the old man cares for you, Stacia? Have you thought of the years between us ?’ ‘Ionly know C love you,’ shesaid, and put her hands in his. ‘If you want me, John, why take me!’ ‘But? — with the old haunting thought throwing its shadow in his face—‘I am so much older and sober- er than you. Do not take me out of pity, Stacia. It is love I want. You will be in woman-hood’s prime when I am a white-haired old man.’ ‘Then I will be an old man’s dar- ling,’ she said softly.’ And John Ashley bent over and kissed her with a great joy in his face. She was his—all his ! MISCELLANEOUS. 4. Kindliness a Beautifier. A beautiful person is the natural form of a beautiful soul. The mind builds its own house. The soul takes precedence of the body and shapes the body to its own likeness. A va-{ cant mind takes all the meaning out of the fairest face. There is no sculp- tor like the mind. There is nothing that so refines, polishes, and ennobles face and mien as the constant presence of great thoughts. The man who lives in the region of ideas, moon- beams though they ve, becomes ideal- There are no arts, no gymnas- a tithe so ized. tics, which ca much of co. o Hof a man’s looks, as a , great purpose, a high determination, a no- ble principle, an unquenchable enthn- siasim. more powerful stil! than any of these ; as a beautifier of the per- son is the overmastering purpose and | pervading disposition of kindness in tie heart, ‘Affection is the organizing force in the human constitution, | Wo- man is fairer than man- because she ‘Yq know I miss you,’ she ans- has more affection than man. Lights Have Burned Without Losing Lustre. Workmen were employed in Menlo | Park yesterday in further increasing the { number of lamp posts that line the neat board walk leading from Mr. Edison’s laboratory to the depot. These new lamp ‘posts will be connected with the wire by , Which those already standing are sup- plied with the electric current. Mr. Edison says that before long he will have 800 lamps going night and day, all fed from one dynamo machine attached to an eighty-horse power engine. The lights new burning necessitate the use of only two generators, but the dynamo machine standing in the engine room, it is said, will supply fourteen generators. Some of the lights have now been buraing about 400 hours. Supposing that artificial illumination is repuired six hours per day, on an average, it has thus been demonstrated that these lights would haveremained unimpaired for two months. Nice tests have shown them to be yet as bright as when first set up. On several oceasions iu the last two weeks, how- ever, the engine has been stopped for a short time—once when the supply pump for the boilers gave out, and at other times for experimental purposes. At such times, of course, the lights cease to gluw.—New York Sun, 10th. ———__~ go Old Folks on the Farm. The tenacity with which the veteran farmers stick to their farms not only, bat to the actual work on them, is one of the most interesting subjects for the student of social characteristics. A “retired” farmer, living on a small income in a country villiage, with nothing to do but to higgle over his purchases and growl at the taxes is a proper object of pity. Happy the man whose younger kins- men will carry on the old farm, and let him work or not as he pleases—giving him an easy chair by the warmest corner of the fire place in winter, and a shady nook on the verandah wherein to nod ov- er his newspaper and play with his grand children in Summer. Thrice happy the good farm wife whose daughter, or daugh- tersdaughter reserves the best groundfloor room for her, and carries on the work herself—all the while pleasing “mother,” with the belief that she is still doing it as she did for half-a-hundred years. How sweet and placid the dear old face, as she goes with feeble steps to kitehen and and dairy “lookin arter things!” She knows how many chickens there are, and when the speckled hen ought to come off; She passes judgment on the new cow, and gives that finishing touch to the but- ter which won the first premium at the county fair so many years ago—before “help” was known in the farm house. She “‘goes to meetin’” with a regularity that shames her children, and passes gently down the farther slope of the hill of life serencly happy amid accustomed scenes and familiar faces. What ham- pered village existence would be so good for heras that? It is poor work, trans- planting old tress. There is, we think a danger that the old men on the farm will work too much. The gritty American; farmer gives up hard; and in the hurry of work, or from thoughtlessness of younger men, the old frames are often overtaxed. Enforced idleness is often the beginning of the end jevith men whose whole lives have been spent in activities. But “taking it easy a won't hurt them. Make “laying off,” and lighter cares around the honse so natural and easy for them that they will never know it wes planned. The younger geu~ erations should take good care of the elder, for from the present outlook, it is doubtfal if grandpareuts are so plenty fifty years hence.—Golden Rule. oe Many of our readers will remember Rev.

Then bearing to the right, it sweeps in a majestic symmetri- cal curve round a conical peak with broad but irregular base, and comes back again to find itself in close proximity to the Round Knob track, but far above it. Then again bearing to the right and winding along the bases of the hills, and plunging deep into the recesses of the coves, it turns again to the left, crosses a fill of extraordinary, height, cuts through the point of a steep slepe to formidable depth, curves sharply to the left again, and then crosses by a trestle, partly filled in, a valley which is 180 feet below the track, and about 200 yards across. Emerging from this the train halts im- mediately at the famous Mud-Cut. The difficulties of this spot have not been alto- gether exaggerated; only it is grave error to regrd them as insurmountable. The cut was made through a soil which ages before had slipped from the steep mountain face high abeve, and the continuity of loose tex- ture having been broken, gravitation caused- a sidelong settling, and the exevasse which has occasioned so much delay. About 7 acres thus made their way to the track and offered an apparently endless battle. But having seen the cut in the early stages of trouble, we cannot fail to see how much of the difficulty has lessened. The face of the cut, originally nearly perpendicular, and 60 feet high, is now reduced almost to a level, and the angle is so small that there is little pressure. And except occasional delays, the cut itself has proved an indispensible mine of earth needed to fill up the adjacent high trestle which had to be brought from remote distance. Maj. Wilson will at once proceed to construct a track around the point of the mountain below the eut, and with a turn-table, escape all further delay both in the passage of trains, and the pros- ecution of his work. ee a Some Good Sound Sense. HOW TO RUIN A PARTY. If a man like Billy Mahone who has just been elected to the United States Senate in Virginia, differs from you upon a single question of paying the State Debt, denonce him in unmeasured terms and brand him as a Radical—in other words, drive him out of the party—if you can! If the negroesin any number vote for him, hold it up as prima facie evidence that he is a Radical, dyed in the wool, although you may have tried to get these same negroes to vote your way and failed to doit. HOW TO SUSTAIN A PARTY. If a man like Billy Mahone differs from you upen the local or general questions of State policy, simply express regret over the difference and labor to convince him he is mistaken in his views, but doitina mild and courteous manner, and at the same time accord him equally as much honesty of pur- pose and party loyalty as you profess to have. Do not geek to belittle him, nor de- nounce him as dishonest, corrupt, &c. In- stzad of laboring to drive him out of the party, labor to keep him init.

Boston, January 17.—A spccial from Augusta says the whole aspect of affairs has changed. and hopes of a peaceable solution of the dispute by the decision of the Supreme Court are blown to the winds by the action taken by the Fusion- ists last night. Soon after the poiuts of the decision wero received from Bangor the leading Fusionists had a consultation with Governor Smith and staff, and the and the following order was issued: STATE oF Maing, Adj’t Gen’l Office, Augusta January 16, 1880. i Special Order No. 2.—General order No. 4, dated Nov. 1, 1379, assigning Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain to the command of the volunteer militia, is hereby re- voked. General order No, 12, dated Jan. 5, 1830 assigning Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain as commander of the Ist division of the Maire militia, and requiring the com- manding officers of all military organi- zations of the State to report to him, is hereby revoked. Special order No. 45, dated Jan. 5, 1880, directing Gen. Chamberlain to protect the public property and jnstitutions of the State, is hereby revoked.

Boston, Jan. 17.—A special from Anu- gusta to the Herald says nothing of im- portance has transpired this morning up to this hour (9 o’elock). The police force on duty in the State House has apparent- ly not been increased, as the number of Officers in and about the rotunda is stil] small, but occasional opening of tho doors of the room on the second floor, used for headquarters, reveals the fact that itis full of resolute looking men wearing badges. not yet arrived at headquarters, but his staff are allon duty, and Mayor Nash has been here all this morning.” A con- vergation with Mayor Nash reveals the fact that his backbone is still as stiff as a poker, and that he regards Gov. Smith’s order as a harmless exhibition of rhetor- ie. “What Smith. body will respect,” the mayor coutiuucd, “He has vo support from the Supreme Court, he can ‘get no aid from the militia or sueriits; he does not control the State treasury, und whatever funds he uses must cume from private sources.

After teaditig fhe journals they took a recess until 10 o'clock. It is doubtful if a quorum is present in the Louse. At léast two “*mem- bers have gone home and several others haye not pat in an appearance iv the hall and recess was probably taken for the purpose of rallying absentees. It is un- derstood that the fusionists have tele- graphed for the opinion of Gen. Batler, Hon..Bion Bradbury. and several’ other eminent lawyers to offset the opinion of. the Supreme Court, and they expect re- plies in scason tolay them before the members of their Legislature upon reas- sembling next Tuesday. The fusionista are quiet and will not talk mach. There is a report that the latter will endeavor to compromise, but it is of doubtful au- thority. Some of the fusionists have certainly weakened. At least two mem- bers of the House have said that they would not resist the decision of the Supreme Court, and the remarks of the Senator from Aroostook county yester- day indicate that he is of the same dis- position. The hotels are crowded with men, mostly Republicans, who have come here from Bangor, Waterville, Bath, and other largo cities, ready to take a hand in case of necessity. At the end of recess in the House Mr. Cushman, of Sherman, made a speech recommending application to Congress for aid in repelling attempts under the decision of the Supreme Court to drive this body from the State House. Geo. F. Hill, of Corinth, said that “we stand to-day in very eritical condition. The clergy, money-power, aud courts were against us. He believed some measures should be adopted for the sub- mission of further questions to the court, ‘giving a fair statement of the case, ‘and lieped some member would suggest means whereby this would be etfected. He noticed that several members who yester- day expressed their willingness to shed their last drop of blood defending our rights, were absent to-day, [applause and laughter,] but he believed there were sensible men enough left to treat this question with the attention its gravity deserved. Mr. Ingalls, of Wiscasset, offered a joint order for the appointmeut of a com- mittce of five, to be joined by such as the Senate may see fit, to take into con- sideration the condition of affairs and re- port to the House the best method of procedure. The Supreme Court had de- cided on a set of questions, submitted by another and irregular body, that this body was not legally constituted. He thought a set of questions giving a fair statement of the case might be submitted. “We want peace; we want our rights. Let us consult together as men knowing our own rights and determiued to main- tain them.” Knowles, of Naples, said he believed the decision of the court was a partisan one, but he did not want to resist it by force. There were otber and peaceable means of meeting this crisis. Benner, of Waldoboro, said his posi- tion was tho same as Hill’s, and he hearti- ly endorsed his remarks. Bradbury, of Norway, said we were here legally and lawfully, but were in a perilous time, and should act with cau- tion. It was the part of wise and brave men to submit to the inevitable. If the court has been used ag an instrument to deprive us of our rights the crime is not ours. If revolution has come by tlie ac- tion of that court, against: that court we have no appeal excopt to the people. Let us go back to them. The ballot box is still left to us, and to that we must ap- peal. He heartily approved of the pro- posed order, and hoped it would pass. Robeson, of Thomaston, also favored the passage of this order. A Saco special gays: ‘Ex-Secretary of State Gove arrived from Augusta on the midnight train. He states that Joseph L. Smith declares: ‘I have been chosen governor aud by——I’ll be governor.’ This, most of the Fusionists applauded. They laugh at the decision of the Supreme Court, saying they will support Smith in what he may do. On the other hand Republicans are no less resolute to adhere at any cost to what they say is the side of right and law. There is no mistaking the fact that deep and bitter feelings are being engendered, and no one knows what an hour may bring forth. Reported declarations of Fusionists in authority, that their government will be removed to this city in case of fighting, where the public officers will be protect- ed then, also cauges much jnterest here. Cushman, of Sherman, sti!l adyoeated a resort to Congress. Perry, of Camden, favored the order in a speech of some length. Hisspeech was greeted with applause, mingled with hisses from the rear of the hall. Bradbary, of Norway, protested against hissing as a breach of decorum, and hoped, for the good name of the State, that that sound would never be heard there again. Ingalls moved an amendment to t order. He offered a clause limiting the members of the House, and 1} vi w the Senate to take independent actioa, The order as amended was passed, and the Speaker appointed Ingalls, of Wis- caaset, Robinsen, of Tiedhaston, Wilson, of Qrona, ¥ b, of Harrison, and Hill, of E Tr, aS members of the com- mittecgs™ — icity bonds, bearing 6 per cent. interest }and each the face value of five hundred ana ) ioe and adopted. ‘The President pro tem. ted Senators Patten, of Penobacott, r . 5 > ot ciate? e & of “Aroostook; and NEI ns tenesesivasness isin Senators Serickland and Patten both inade brief speeches, recommending mod- eration.

The debate in the Senate was for submission to the decree of the court. Gov. Smith has appointed the follow- ing staff: Adjutant general, M. M. Fol- som; inspector-general, Clark S. Ed- wards ; assistant adjutant-general, E. W. French; surgeon, Geo. A. F, Peper ; jadge advocate-general, Rieh’d W. Black; comimissionary general, J. H. Blood ; lieutenanut-colonel, Horace M. Davis; aides-decamp, Juo, Benson, Jr., Wi. W. Sargent. Gen. Chamberlain, in bis reply to Sinith, concludes: “While the matters now in issue involve the question as to whether you are Governor or not, it must be manifest to you that [ should fail in my duty were I to surrender my trust except on undoubted evidence of your authority to demand it. If you are the lawtul Gov- ernor you can easily relieve all embar- rassment by affording me an authoritative decision of the court, to which [am and always have been ready to yield prompt obedience. I cannot bat add that cour- tesy and custom of service, to say noth- ing of the grave complications of the present situation, give me right to expect that you will furnish proper evidence of your authority.? Major Folsom, who signed the order last evening reMeving Gen. Chamerlain from command, was’ among the first at Gen. Chamberlain’s headquarters this morning to apply fora pass for a friend to the State House. To-day the answers of the Supreme Court to the questions of the Republican Legislature were read. The Secretary of State refused to give up the gubernato- rial returns to the joint committee. Wm. M. Sargant has declined the ap- pointment on Gov. Smith’s staff, he be- ing a straight Democrat and unwilling to endorse the Governor's greenback opin- ions. Boston, Jan, 16.—A special from Au- gusta says that J. V. Lynch, captain of the Montgomery Guards, in reply to Gen. Chamberlaio’s circular to company commanders, telegraplis here that he would obey his orders until the decision of the court was given. Every company except that at Old Town says the same. An Augusta special says the Republi- can House was called to order at 2:20 p. m. by Speaker Weeks. Prayer was offered by Gov, Cobb, of Augusta. The representatives’ hall was packed with Inen, every inch of space surrounding the seats being occupied by standing men, while the galleries were a solid mass of human beings. Taking up of passes at the outer doors was abandoned at this time, the police being removed to the foot of the staircases and to the doors of the two houses. Just as prayer ended Blaine came upon the floor of the House and was received with enthusiasm, men getting upon the chairs and desks, and waving hats and handkerchiefs, while they rent the air with cheers and shouts. Business was e@ntifely suspended for a few moments, and it was sometime before anything like order could be restored. Hon. Lot Morrill and Eugene Hale fol- lowed Blaine, and received a greeting scarcely less cordial, though not so loud. The Republican members with few ex- ceptions, were present, Knowles, of Brad- ford, Temple and Eddinton, Fusion members, came inaud took the seats they had occupied iu the Fusion House, and were received with applause.

A little more thought and examination showed that the bones were broken, many of them with sharp edges, some of them charred, mixed with charcoal, ashes and bits Speers and flakes of red clay tiles or brick-bats, at could this all mean? In this dilemma Aristotle remembered that a dis- Sar writer on this subject had stated that the Indians always burned and buried the bones of ant- mals, before they left their camp so as to prevent the game from seeing the bones of their slaugtered kindred, and thus be frightened away from the country and ruin the hunting. Besides this, some of the slender bones, and others might be bear bones, or buffalo bones, cracked to get the marrow out of them. 1t was also ‘remembered that a jun- bone of some kind of a lish, and the horney beak of a bird had been found mixed up with the other bones, When Aristotle had announced these facts, Socratis declared that *iew to be more Sauisfactory than any other and Democritus silently assented, while the wa sia and miners at once saw the paint, especial- ly the one who had so reverentiy handled the su posed bones of the one-eyed Fing of Sapona. fe fact it appeared that the red-adobe ties had been a kind of hearth at the king’s grand-culinary depart- ment. andthe bones were charred and burled re- mains of his regal entertainments. When thatidca took hold of the minds of the antiquarians, they be- came satisfied to explore no further, but to return home at once, happy witha day’s relaxation and social converse, As the shades of night gathered over hill and valley, they rode quietly Into Salisbu- ry, ready as soon as the fair spring weather becomes really permanent to explore further in the famous Islind of Akenatzy.

Jan. 11th, 1880, Lditor Watehman : What I honestly predieted in my last communication, Ihave the pleasure—al- though it be strange—to say has turned out the reverse ; for, your trusted, tried and trae correspondent, “Nemo,” is. still here among us having most certainly awaked trom his Rip Van Winkle sleep, and not “shuffled off this mortal coil” as many were forced to believe, after a pro- per consideration of the matter. Thanks be to the Ruler of our destinies, aud to and ever gracious and loving Providence. The greatest event of the season, and the jolliest time had yet, so far in Iee0, occurred last Monday evening in this vicinity. It wasn’t a leap year’s par- fy, nora dance, nora concert, nora re- ception to General Grant, but a regular old fashioned, loug-to-be-remembered corn shucking. One of which only North Carolina can beast. This took place at the residence of our estecmed citizen Col. John F. Cotton, who resides a short dis- tance from Plaggtown. Early in the af- ternoon, the good citizens 1 this Viciuity commenced wending their way toward the old plantation home of the Celonel. It Was not until nine in the evening the people cease their coming, and by that time the reader can better imagine than the writer deseribe the vast throng that was present. ‘The large piles of corn seat- tercd about the yard were all surrounded, and what with the stimulating propensi- ties of corn) whiskey, excellent brandy, and the cheerful appearance of the Colo- nel, made all happy, and drove dall care | It is very unique and} festive board, handsome, and adds greatly to his office, | meats faraway.

It was such a spread as only the hostess of the mansion was capable of producing, and many were the compliments showered ap- ou the kind-hearted and faithful lady who presided over the household. It is need- less to say that the monstrous heaps of cory were readily and properly shucked | loug before the close of the day, and then came the most interesting part of the oe- casstou. The good Colonel was carried upon the shoulders of the assembly around the axtensive grounds and finally into the house where seated by the one whe has journeyed so happily with him for years, when they received the congratulations of those present. Then came the time for departure, which was reluctantly taken. The host and hostess thought and ex- pressed in language nearly as plain. To all and each a fair good-night, Aud rosy dreams and sluimbers bright. It was a success, and the Colonel must have had a thousand bushels ef corn— more or less.

He happens to be well acquainted with the locality, and remembers the Lroad-leafed Jlags which grow so abundantly in Bea- verdam, and also the beautiful paving stones (slate) which are foand in that stream and the adjacent hills.

The scene of the battle is very near our State line but a little within the bounda- rics of South Carolina. If the line had been run straight the battlefield would have been within the limits of North Carolina. The necessary steps to cele- brate the splendid victory that was won on October 7th, 1730—one hundred years it will be a fine success, no doubt.

R. THE FIRST EUROPEAN SETTLERS. a The earliest settlements in North Carolina were made on the coast, along Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds, and near the mouth of the Cape Fear river. In a map of the in- habited parts of North Carolina, made. by John Lawson, the surveyor general, in 1709, we sec the outlines of the settlements, The line commences at the mouth of Currituck inlet, and sweeps round in a senii-circle, crossing the Roanoke at Aconeche island, passing by the head of Pamlico Sound, crossing the Neuse near the month of Con- tentnea creek, and so on east of where Fay- etteville now stands, to the Atlantic, thirty miles south of the mouth of the Cape Fear. The population was then less than seven thousand (Hawks, vol. 1. p.89.) In twenty years more about three thousand had been added to the population, and there were five small towns: Bath, Newbern, Edenton, Beaufort and Brunswick. Of these Eden- ton was called the Metropolis. In,the year 1729 the King of Great Britain, according to act of Parliament, purchased seven eights of the territory of the Carolinas from the Lords Preprietors, for 2500 pounds for each eighth part. But John, Earl of Granville, the son and heir of sir George Carteret, refused to part with his portion, and his lands were laid off to him, extend- ing from latitude 85°, 34” to thee Virginia line, and westward to the south sea, Or Pa- cific Ocean! Itis within the limits of Earl Granyille’s lands and on the western portion of them that Rowan county was situated. The Royal Governors of North Carolina wereas follows: George Burrington, 1731-34 ; Nathaniel Riee, 1734—a few montis, Ga- briel Johnston, 1734-1752; Nathaniel Rice, 1752-8; Matthew Rowan, 1753-4. During the terms of these governors the population rolled upwards and westward, county after county being set off as the land was occupi- ed. Bladen was set off from New Hanover in 1784, Anson from Bladen in 1749. Rowan from Anson in 1753, and Mecklenburg from Anson in 1762. Of course population was in advance of county organizations, and there was @ sufficient number of settlers in the territory of Rowan, previous to 1753, to de- mand a separate county government. But it becomes a difficult task to ascertain when, and from whence, came thie tirst white set- tlers. In his Sketches of North Carolina, Col. Whecler says: “Rowan was early settled (about 1720,) by the Protestants from Mo- ravia, fleeing from the persecutions of Fer- dinand the second; and by the Scotch, who, efter the unsuccesiul attempts of Charles Edward, grandson of James the Second, to ascend the English throne, and whose for- tunes were destroyed on the fatal field of Culloden (16th Apri!, 1746,) had fled to this couptry; and by the Irish, who after the rebellion of the Earls of Tyrone and Tys- connel, in the times ot James the First, were forced to leave the country. These, or their ancestors, previously had come trom Scot- land, and hence the term Scoteh Irish.” (Wheeler art. Rowan County.) It would be difficult to crowed more mistakes into one short paragraph, than are found in this brief accoun the settlement of Rowan. First of all, Ferdinand the Second, Emper- or of Germany, reigned from 1618 to 1648, more than one hundred years before the time required, and the Moravians, or united brethren, did not &ppear in’ Moravia until 1722, in England in 1728, in. New York and Georgia in 1736, and in North Carolina, not until 1753. Again very few of the Scotch came to Rowan directly, but to the Cape Fear section, and not there in numbers till soine time after 1746. It was not the na- tive Irish, after the rebellion of Tyrone and Tyrconnel, who came here, but the descend- ants of the Scotch whom James I. had placed on their escheated lands, who came to Row- an. They remained in Ireland for more than one hundred years, enduring many trials and disabilities during that period, and then in the early part of the 18th Cen- tury emigrated to New Jersey, and Penn- sylvania, and from thence to North Carolina. The earlest settlements in Rowan of which we have any accurate knawledge were made about 1737. Dr. Foote, in his Sketches of North Carolina, states that the Scotch-Irish began their settlements in Shenandoah val- ley iu Virginia in 1737, and in North Caro- lina soon afterwards. Some scattered fami- lies followed the Trading Path and settled in chosen spots from the Roanoke to the Catawba. As the Indians were friendly, and the caravans of the traders frequent, it would be but natural that emigrants would be attracted by their glowing descrip- tions of the fertile prairies that lay between the Yadkin and the Catawba—a land abounding in game, and whose streams were stocked with fish, and its flowery meadows affording pasturage fur their cattle. (See Foote p. 188.) Fortunately for the settlement of this point, the Clark family, who have resided on the Cape Fear since about 1745, have preserved memoranda, showing that as ear- ly as the year 1746, a family or a company of emigrants, went west of the Yadkin to join some other families that were living sequestered in that fertile region. (H. 189.) Thus it appears that there were settlers, families residing here previous to 1746. They would scarcely think it necessary to enter lands in a region where all was open to them, and if they did, their deeds would be recorded in the court of Bladen or New Hanover, of which Rowan then constituted a part. Itis worthy of notice that there was once a settlement, and a church of the Scotch in South Rowan, called Crystal Springs, and in the old minutes of the Pres- terian Church, Crystal Springs and Salisbury are represented as asking for ministerial supplies. This church was about ten miles nearly seuth of Salisbury, near the residence of Dr. Paul Siftord, and in its old grave- yard lie the remains of the McPhersons, the Mahans, the Longs, and others. Since 1812 this church has not been in existence, as it is said that at that time the members were transferred to Old Bethphage, about eight or ten miles west of Crystal Springs. But the Scotch-Irish were probably the most numerous and the leading people of the settlement. The old Records of the Court here show the names of many of these o!d families, some of them now extinct, such as the Nesbits, Allisons, Brandons, Luckeys, Lockes, McCullochs, Grahams, Cowans, Mc- Kenzies, Barrs, Andrews, Osbornes, Sharpes, Boones, McLauchlins, Halls, with many others whose names are as familiar as house- hold words. But along with these Scoteh Irish immi- grants, and settling side by side with them, there came settlers of another nationality to whom Rowan is no less indebted for her material wealth and prosperity. These were the Germans, or as they were familiarly calls ed the “Pennsylvania Dutch.” They ‘were ef course not of Dutch olland cxtrac- tion, but Germans frog the Palatinate, and from Hesscn Cassel, Hessen Homburg, Darmstadt, and the general region of the upper and middle Iihine. Prominent among these for its histor¥vand the numbers of its emigrants is the tinate, or “Pfalz” as it is called “in ps of Germany. This i estern banks of the country lies fon” Rhine, bel Strasburg, and along the east- ern boung&ries of France. This beautiful land is watered by numerous small streams, es of the Rhine, and is divided ye of mountains, the Haaidts, run- the tri saa + Pagal emp! reign of Louis tl atime when such great as the Prince of Conde, Marshal Tarenne, Prince | Eugene, the Duke of Marl h,and Wil- liam, Prinee of Orange; won glory or infamy on the bloody field of battle. It was inthe ‘Palatinate that Turenne sullicd his glory by’ an act of the most savage barbarity in lay- ing waste the country with fire and sword, reducing two cities and twenty five vill to ashes, and leaving the innocent inhabi- tants to perish of cold aud bunger; while the unfortunate Elector looked helplessly on from the walls of his palace at Manheim. And a few years after Louis again invaded the Palatinate, and laid the cities of Mentz, Philipsbury, Spires, and forty others, with numerous villages, in ashes. Thus this lit- tle principality, whose inhabitants by their industry and peaceable habits had made it the most thriving and happy State in Ger- many, was literally Loraee into a desert. Ravaged by fire and sword, and trodden down under the iron heel of despotism, the wretched inhabitants were forced at last ta leave their beautiful country and seek a home among str. ts. Their first place of refuge was the Netherlands, where a lib- eral and Protestamt government afforded thein a safe asylum, From the Neth¢rlands many of them found their way in England, where Queen Anne gave them a tafe refuge from their enemies, But Englagd was itself a populous country, and the Enutish povernment deter- mined to induce as many of the Palatines as possible to cross the Atlantic and become settlers in the American Colonies. In that broad land they could find comfortable homes, and by their industry they might make its deserts blossom asthe rose. Some of them came over with De Graffenried and Mitchell and found homes on the lower wa- ters of the Neuse, where a New “Berne” would remind the Swiss portion of the col- onists of the old Berne they had left behind them among the Alps. Others found homes in the State of New York, and others still in Charleston, South Carolina, and along the banks of the Congarce and Saluda riv- ers. Many others from this general section of Germany settled in Lehigh, Northamp- ton, Berks and Lancaster counties in Penn- sylvania. Finding this country thickly set- tled and good land to be secured only at high prices, in a few years they turned their attention southward, Here Earl Granville’s lands—lately set off to him—were offered at a cheap rate, and the climate was much more mild than in the homes they had chio- sen in Pennsylvania. ‘lhe first’ arrival of Germans in Western North Carolina, in the boundszof old Rowan is believed to have taken place about 1745, though it was five years Inter that the great body of them came. The stream thus started continued to flow on for years, many of them arriving after the revolutionary war. They travelled with their household goods and the women and children in wagons, the men and boys walking and driving their cattle and hogs before them, ‘They came side by side with their Scotch Trish neighbors, sometimes set- tling in the same community with them, and at other times occupying alternate belts or sections of country. Thus we can trace a German stream through Guilford, David- son, Rowan and Cabarrus counties, and just by its side a stream of Scotch Irish. But as years passed away these streams, like the currents of the Missouri, and Mississppi riv- ers, have mingled into one, resulting ina mixed race of German-Scotch-Irish, perpet- uating the virtues and perhaps also the weaknesses of all the races. Dr. Bernheim, in his interesting work on German settle- ments in North and South Carolina, las given a list of names, found in common use in Pennsylvania and in N.C., suchas Propst, Bostian, Kline, (Cline) Trexler, Schlough, Seitz, (Sides,) Rheinhardt, Biber, (Beaver,) Kohiman, (Coleman,) Derr, (Dry,) Berger, (Barrier,) Behringer, (Barringer). To this list may be added other names familiar in Rowan county, such as Bernhardt, Heilig, Mcisenheimer, Beard, Mull, Rintclman, (Ren- dleman,) Layrle, (Lyerly,) Kuhn, (Coon,) Friese, Eisenhauer, Yost, Overeash, Boger, Sutber, Wivecoff, Cress, Walcher, ITarkey, | Savitz, Henkel, Moser, Braun, (Brown,) and many others familiar to all our people. The German settlers have generally been remark- able for industry, economy, and the habit of living within their means and not get- ting into debt. During their sojourn here of a century and a quarter they have passed through the ordeal of changing their language. As the laws were written and expounded in Eng- lish, and all public affairs conducted in that language, the Germans were incapable of taking part, in most cases, in public affairs. Hence letting public affairs alone, and at- tending to their home interests, they sur- rounded themselves with well tilled farms, and adorned their premises with capacious barns and thrashing-foors. Who has not seen the immense double barns, with wide double doors, to admit a fourhorse wagon with its towering load of hay, or straw or wheat; and the thrashing floor, where the horses tramped out the wheat, and the “wind-mill” blew the chaff inte tbe chaff- house? And who has forgotten the long stables where the cows were yoked to the troughs, each one knowing her place, while the calvce were tied toa trough at the other wall ? But the “Pennsylvania Dutch,” lias almost ceased to be heard on our streets where ence its quaint tones of mingled German, French and English were so familiar. The dialect is gone but the accent and the idiom still linger on many tongues, and the tradi- tions and folk-Jore of the old world. stil] flow in a deep under current in many fam- ilies. Not long after the Scotch-Irish and Pennsylvania Germans came into the terri- tory of old Rowan came another people that have added much to the wealth of the State, I mean the Moravians or United Brethern. These people purchased a tract of 98,985 acres, called the ‘Wachovia Tract,” in what is now Forsythe county, but originally Ro- wan. This was in 1751, Lut the deed for the tract was signed in 1753, and in the autumn of this year twelve single brethren came from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and began the settlement of Bethabara, Beth- any was founded in 1759, and Salem in 1766, Friedbury and Freidland, 1n 1769 and 1770. In 1804 the well-known Salem Female Acadciy was founded, at which many of the fair daughters of the South have been educated. Along with these settlers from Ireland and Germany came, from timeto time, others of English, Welsh and Scotch descent, who have mingled with the fofmer in working out the destitly of old Rowan—th@mother of counties. Although Rowan was not settled by cav- aliere or Huguenots. or by the aristocracy of old world sotiety, she has good reason to be proud of the early pioneers who laid here the foundations of their homes. They were men and women who had suffered for con- science sake, or fled from despotism to seek liberty and happiness unrestrained by the shackles of a wor.out civilization: _——_~a>o MOTHER, THINK OF THE BATTLE that is being waged by worms against the life of your child.

Cleaveland used to make the Tories “thumb the notch,” as le called it, while he whipped patriotism in- to or deviltry out of them, about 100 years ago. This tree is no doubt 150 years old, aud yet shows vitality and vigor, as if inspired by the memory of-the bold deeds done under it. Shall it outlive that lib- erty whose birth pangs it saw? Ihave mentioned these because they are well known to have been standin much more than a century. Many oaks in our forests are evidently as old or old- er. ‘The oak is probably our longest-liv- ed tree, though most likely the black oak; for I believe it grows more slowly, and slow growth means long life. They all STOW some, as long as they live and leat; for the annual running of the sap adds a ring, such as are secu in the tranks of most trees. On our high mountains, ma- ny oaks are found quite large in diameter at the base, but tapering very rappidly, and of small height. The sap runs annu- ally and expands their trunks as else- Where, but the brevity of their summer forbids their shoots to lengthen much, and so they are shorn of their normal al- titude. I saw on Negro Mountain, in Ashe county, a very remarkable specimen of this sort in a white oak over two feet through near the base, with large limbs branching out three fect above the ground, and both the trunk aud all its limbs ta- pering so fast that the whole was scarcely 20 feet high. It looked like it had tried hard to get up in the world, but fate was against it. I could not forbear taking off my hat to the squatty old fellow and ex- claiming, “I houor you, sir. You have done what you could under hard condi- tions. Fit emblem of many a noble soul crampt and kept down by adversity !” There are some yery old poplars in the country. Near my native place in Ran- dolph county stood a poplar, till lately, which old people say three men with out- stretched arms could hardly span in 1805, as those reported who then tried it. It has changed very little in looks or size in the last forty years and ldo not know for how much longer, Being hollow in the centre all the way up, it was from an un- reported period a favorite home for coons aud other varminis. Olé hunters of a by- goue time had chopped into its hollow on one side. But it was reserved for “young Ancrica, with their usual irreyerence for venerable things, to eut down this old patriarch of the woods recently in pursuit of squirrels. Whatis antiquity toa boy when he is after a squirrel, rabbit, or ‘possum! But still its huge trunk looks like it might lie there till long after the youngsters who felled it are laid low, too. Ancient trees like this are generally found standing in places where the damp- ness of the ground or some other local cause saved them iu their early days from death by the Indian fires, which used-to kill most of the young trees and kept this region formerly, as the pioneers reported, very thinly clad with timber. ~ Here and there, however, by luck or chance, a tree would escape the general destruction, and suine of these still stand, the grand-fath- ers of the sylvan family. It is easy to distinguish them, and they are very old. The English oak lives 500 years. It is very hardy and of slow growth. Ours probably does not live so long. But 1 have no doubt sume could be found 300 years of age. Are the years of trees shown by the number of concentric rings in jts trunk ? Undoubtedly. This is proven by many tests which any intelligent observer cap apply. For instance, look at the stumps of several healthy trees newly felled and near together, where the trees must have grown under the same conditions of cli- mate, soil, and moisture. Beginning at the outside and tracing inward, you will find such a correspondence in the thiek- ness or thinness of the rings which tally in date in all the trees, as very plainly to show the similar influence of simibar. sea- sons upon their growth. An observer can easily count back in this way to the very wet summers or the very dry ones, espe- cially in trees which grow on high aud dry uplands, where the different effect of rainy and dry summers on the trees is more marked, of course, than in, places always moist. I have often amused my- self, in my rambles, counting back! on stumps to the notable seasons IJ remem- ber. ground will serve the purpose. Trees like other plants grow faster when they have plenty of rain, and often die from drouth. Another proof of the correspondence of the rings to the years when they were formed, is found in the. change which oe- curs in their character at whatever date and during whatever period the tree is in any special condition, as of blight or in- jary, or the removal of a thick forest around it which retards its growth. The number of rings will tally with the nam- ber of years in every such case. The date when old Jand lines were run and marked with an axe, is found to correspond with the rings which have formed since the wound was made in the tree; aud no mat- ter how this may be grown over, by chop- ping in you can get the evidence. Blocks riven from line trees are not uncommonly brought into the Court-House to show by their rings the date of a deed. or grant; this principle in regard to the growth of trees being so fully established by observation that it is recoguized and acted vpon in our courts, and evidence based upon it often has un important bearing Ia abe trial of land suits. . Some species of trees have these rings so indistincfiand ill-defined that they can not be counted with accuracy. Butin the pine, and most of theoaks, and many oth- ers, they are distinct and ily counted and furnish perfectly truthful mony. as to the trees age.

At lasv’—as the boy said—Percy and Bob had gnarrelled. Jim Dowa ing ‘knew tiey would,’ and: he ha done his best to bring the quarre about. He had tried running Bob down to Percy, and telling mean tales4 of one to the other, but his plans had failed. Either boy would flare up, if bis friend’s character was attacked, and when mean tales were told one of the other he went at once to his friend and asked if it were trne, and was ready to excuse and forgive. But what jealousy and meanness eould not do was unfurtunately ac- eomplish through pride and ambition. A new teacher had taken the village school—quite a young man-—who, anxious to urge the boys to study, promised prizes for the best lessons. The prize in mathematies could only be gained by one, and all knew that either Percy Grahaine or Robert Parr would be the winner. The contest was so close that both boys grew ea- ger, and even Mr. Truesdell, the teach- er, watched their progress with curi- osity. Ou the last day of school when he announced the prizes, Mr, Truesdell said, ‘Percy Grahame wins the prize in mathematics, the last problem be- ing correctly solved by him alone; with that exception, Robert Parr stands equal with him.’ Percy went forward to receive his prize amid a round of applause, and walked back with a proud and happy Jook ; but instead of any congratula- tions from Robert, he heard an angry whisper; ‘you sneak! you couldn’t have done that sum alone,’ Percy colored from anger—Robert thought the blush meant guilt—and turned to the other boys to show them his book and be congratulated. He was deeply hurt, and determined not to speak to Rob until he apologized, but he missed his friend’s sympathy, and he felt no pleasure in his triumph. ‘Why, Percy,’ said his mother as she took the book, ‘here is just what you and Rob have been longing to read—‘Around the World in Sixty Days,’ ? ‘Oh, I don’t care a cent for it; you may keepit. I’m going fur a long walk.’ » Mrs, Grahame looked up in sur- prise, but the boy was gone. ‘Off for Rob,’ thought the mother, never thinking they had quarrelled. Meanwhile, Rob had his angry feel- ings nursed by Jim Downing. ‘I’d have showed you the way todo the sum if I’d been Perey; then you could have drawn for the prize. Mr. Truesdell told the minister that Per- cy was the best scholar he had; I heard him,’ Yes, Jim had heard that ; he might have told all Mr. Truesdell] said, that Perey and Robert Parr were his two best. At last Jim had to leave Rob, and he, too, angry and feeling himself ills treated, started fur a walk. He had said that Percy cheated, and now he really began to’ beljeve ‘it, and, as he detested cheating, he made himself think he was only g very virtu- ous to feel angry with his friend. ‘I wouldu’t ask any one to help me,’ he sajd to himself, ‘and jf I’d found out the answer I’d have told Percy. It’s jst as Jim says, Percy takes ev- ery chance he can of getting ahead of me.’ ‘Rob! Rob!’ called a boyish voice that Rob had often heard in those very woods. ‘Rob, wait a minute; I wan’t to tell you I’m very—.’ But Percy heard some one coming, and he stopped short ;«he did not wish any one else to hear him say he was sorry. ‘Well,’ asked Rod, sulkily, ‘I sup-| pose you are going to say you are sor- ry you didn’t show me how to cheat? No, thank you!’ and thrusting his hands in his pockets the boy was going to pass his friend, when Mr. Trues- dell came in sight.

Can you Robert, honestly rejoice in your friend’s suc- cess?

Life is full don’t win them; but the noblest are those who, having done their best, can wait patiently without envying more successful friends, know that at last they shall receive the best prize, and hear the great Teacher say, ‘Well done!’ The boys stood quite still—it is not easy to talk at such times—but I know they must have resolved to be among those ‘noblest’ people, for nev- er again have they quarrelled, though sometimes one, and sometimes the oth- er, is the most successful; and when they see others gaining what they have stiven for Perey says, ‘Ah, Rob, we don’t fret, do we?

Ax for ’em? Law, honey, cain’t I bring yon a little present onct in a while ’dout charging you nothing?

When| course, pearls found in them, several and inhabits this shell is occasionally found a very iovely gem, known to lapidaries as the conch pearl. When perfect the pearl is either round or egg- shaped and is somewhat larger than a pea, of a beautiful rose color, and wa- tered, that is presenting, when held to the light, the sheen wavy appearance of watered silk. Jt is, however, a very rare circumstance to find a pear] which possesses all the requirements that constitute a perfect gem, and when such does happen, it proves an exceedingly valuable prize to its for- tunate finder. A good pearl is very valuable indeed, some having been sold ia Nassau for no Jess a sum than four hundred dollars. Although ma- ny of these pearls are annually ob- tained by the fishermen in the Baha- mas, not more than one in twenty proves to be a really good gem, and hence probably their high price. Pink is the most common and only desirable color, although white, yel- low, and brown pearls are accasional- ly found. Even among the pink ones there is usually some defect which mars their beauty and materially in- jures them; some are very ivregular in shape and covered apparently with knobs or protuberances ; others are too small, while many lack the watering, which gives them their great value and chief beauty. The conch abounds in the waters of the Bahamas, and thousands of them are annually obtained and destroyed for their shells, which form quite an article of commerce, but not in one conch in a thousand is a pearl found When this is taken into account, and the other fact, that not more than one in twenty of the pearls found turns out to be perfect, it will at once be seen that a conch pearl will always be a rare and costly gem. In fact their value within the last few years has almost doubled, and the demand for them is steadily increasing. , Most of the conch pearls found in the Bahamas are exported to London, where they are readily sold. A few have been sent to New York, having been purchased in Nassau by an agent of Messrs. Tiffany & Co., the well known jewelers. Like everything else that is valua- ble, the conch pearl has been imitat- ed, and some of the imitations have been sold as the genuine article.— Many years ago an ingenius Ameri- Lhe sure, he could work aver” thé ex-| was stowing in the paper of sugary ample und explain it.

Listen to the water mill, Through the livelong day, How the clicking of the wheel Wears the wearing hours away, Lavguidly the autumn wind Stirs the withered leaves, Jn the field the reapers sing, Binding up the sheaves. But a proverb haunts my mind, And as a spell is cast ; That the mill will never grind, With the water that has passed. Antumu winds revive no more Leaves 8:evn o'er earth aud main, And the sickle ve’er can rexp, The gathered sheaves again. But the rippling stream tows on, Tranquil, deep and still, Never gliding Lack again, To the water mill. Truly speaks the proverb old, With ameaming vast, The mill will never grind again With the water that has passed. Take the lesson to thyself, Noble heart and true ; Golden years are tleeting by, Youth 1s passing too. Learn to make the most of lite, Lose no happy day ; Time will ne’er return— Sweet joys veglected, thrown away, Leave no tender word nnasaid, But love with love shall last, For the mill will never grind With the water that has passed. Work while yet the sun doth shine, With all your strength and will; Never dues the streamlet glide, Unless by the mill. Wait not until to-morrow’s sun Beams beauty on the way ; All that thou canst call thine own Lies in the phrase ‘‘to-day.” Power, intellect and blooming health Will not, cannot always last, The mill will never grind With the water that has passed. 0, the wasted hours of life, That have drifted swiftly by! 0, the good we might have done, Lost, gone without a sigh, Love which we might once have said, By a single kindly word ; Thoughts conceived, but ne’er expressed, Perishing, unformed, unheard. Take the lesson to thy soul, Tuke and hold it fast— The mill will never grind With the water that has passed. Love thy (rod and kindred all, Thyself consider last, For come it will, when thou must sean, Dark errors of the past ; But when the tight of life is o'er, And earth recedes from view, And heaven in all its glory shines, Midst the pure gold and true, Then you will see more clearly This proverb deep and vast, The mill will never grind again With water that has passed. SELDOM. ee Sug Renzewep.—One of the sanitary po- lice was the other day wandering over a box full of dead cats in an alley off Seventh street, when he heard yells and the sounds of conflict in a house near by. As he enter- éd the yard a man and woman burst open the side door and rolled down the steps in ‘heap, kicking and clawing with right good will. “What is the trouble here 2” asked the of- fiser as he pulled them apart. “There, I'm glad you happened along! exclaimed the man as he jumped up. “The old woman and me have had a dispute for the last ten or fiteen years as to when Chris- topher Columbus discovered America, May- be you know’” “It was in 1492.” replied the officer. “Just what I said—just the date I had!” tried the husband as he danced around. “Now then, old woman, will you give up?” “Never!” “You won't ?” “Not an inch! I said 1490, and I had Jour neck across the edge of the step. We ‘greed not to bite nor scratch, and I prefer to renew the conflict rather than take a “ranger's figures! Come into the house!” The officer waited at the gate until he heard two chairs smashed down and a doz- * yells, and he resumed his rounds with a growing conviction that Columbus would ultimately be two years ahead in that house. —Detroit Free Press. , —~——>- A billy goat in the neighborhood of a col- red Church in Tarboro, said something eo much like murder, that it & panic among the sable worship- Pets, who came rushing out of the church Very much to the surprise of his goatship.

She went to drive, and will not return till dinner. Will you wait for her?’ ‘Thank you, yes,’ he auswered. She arose to lead the way to the house, but he stopped her, ‘Pardon me, but if you will permit me, I would rather wait here till my aunt returns.’ ‘Your aunt! And the large eyes ‘Then I have the pleasure of addressing Mr. Oscar Mortmain ?’ looked at him questioningly. He bowed. ‘The same at your ser- vice.

Laura, my dear.’ She turn- ed to a tall auburn-haired girl, who had followed her from the carriage.— ‘This is my nephew, Oscar Mortmain, Oscar, my niece, Miss Leigh.’ Miss Leigh bent her pretty head, and Oscar responded : ‘Miss Leigh has been an ideal friend so long that it is hard to realize I at last in the flesh.’ Miss Leigh lifted her delicate brows. aA Lomahaas = ints not like invalids ; you know they are not the most delightful cometnicans: | ‘I wonder if onecan remem t happens in délirium, or if I only. dreamed it.’ ie ‘Dreamed what? = ‘That Miss Page watched over me during the first part of my illness ?’ ‘No; you did.’t dream that.

Please go on.’ And he leaned back and closed his eyes. A week passed, and Oscar shed the wrapper and abdicated the ‘armehair. ‘Please get accustomed to the fact as soon as possible, Mr. Mortmain. have no ambition to be identified with the spiritual for some time to come yet.’ ‘Consequently, you must know that it is near dinner time, Laura,’ said her aunt. ‘Come Oscar, let us go to the house.’ Oscar was late at dinner that day ; not that he had not plenty of time for his toilet, but he loitered at it, pon- dering over the last few hours and Lucy Page. Who was she? His aunt’s niece, he knew; but he had never heard her name before. Laura’s praise had been chanted to him ever since she had gracuated from pina- fores, and he knew that he was ex- pected, in the end, to dutifully fall in love with her and marry her. But Lucy! Her story was as sealed to him as the sunlight was to her sight- less eyes! So deep, so searching, and yet so soft. Could it be that all was black to them ? Great heavens! it was terrible. And that evening, after Jist- ening faithfully for an hour to Lau- ra’s sweetest songs and [Laura’s most brilliant wit, he sauntered to his aunt’s side to ask about Lucy. ‘Lucy ?

A large reception was given by a friend. Oscar was not strong éneugh to attend, but he insisted upon ‘his aunt and Laura’s going, and at last they ‘consented. Laura looked beautiful, that evening, and as Oscar handed her to the carriage he told himseif a man might have a worst fate. He took a book and sat down, but he did not feel like reading, and was carelessly turning over the leaves, when a light footfall sounded, and looking up he saw Lucy enter. She advanced a few steps, and then feeling the magnetic influence of another presence, she stop- ped and half turned to go back, but Osear said : ‘Pray don’t retire, Miss Page ; rath- er take pity on my loneliness. Per- mit me to lead you to a seat.’ He went towards her. ‘Thank you; no, I cannot stay.’ | ‘Can I get anything for you! he |asked, as she half turned, and then hesitated. | ‘No,’ she replied, with a half-sad smile, and then added, in a lighter tone, ‘we all have our ‘blue’ spells sometimes.

Oscar sat alone on the piazza wrapped in the smoke of a fragrant Havana.— Suddenly the soft notes of the harp broke on the air, and then a low voice sang ‘Mignon.’ Oscar rose and walked gently into the room. In the dusky light he saw Lucy at theharp. Her head was bowed, and he saw a tear glisten on her dreas. Lower and more tremulous grew her voice, and when she uttered the last ‘Dahin, Dahin,’ she bent her head in her hands and sobbed. Ina moment Oscar was at her side, and bending low over her he whispered : ‘Will you indeed go with me, my darling ?

He looked at her a second, and then the truth burst on She was blind! A cold shiver ran over him ; and had a third person appeared at that moment he would have said that his was the moister eyes of the two. He tried to say something ; but no fit- ting thought would come at his bid- ding, and the silence lasted till Miss Page said: him. ‘I feel that the sun is sinking low- er. They will soon be home.

You can hear it now, can you not?’ He heard it, and in a few.moments a carriage rolled up the avenue and Mrs. Mortmain alighted from it.

But young John, the assistant, who had ad. mired Marianne from afar, was alive to the emergency. Seizing a flying machine, upon which he had just obtained a patent that morning, he strapped it to his broad manly back, and, spreading the wings of the machine, vowed he would rescue the girl of his heart or die.

The early settlers of of Rowan were peace-. the | 2b/c, industrious, and law abiding men cw b qhad come to tifis land to giake: homey, themselves and their philares Wher there: fore their numbers had increased sufficient- ly to jugtify the measure, stepa were taken for the qrnation of a conaty government, | and the appointment. ef county officers and} courts of justice. AcCordingly at the ses- sions of the General Assembly of the Proy- ince of North Carolina, begun and held at Newbern, March 27th, 1753, an act was pass- ed establishing the county of Rowan. Goy- ernor Gabriel Johnston, after a long and prosperous term of office, had died in Au- gust 1752, and the duties of. the office de- volved upon Nathaniel Rice, first counsellor of the King’s Commission. But President Rice lived only until January 1753, and at his death the Hon. Matthew Rowan, the next Counsellor in order, qualified as Presi- dent, in Wilmington on the first of Febru- ary 1753. As he was now President of the Council, and acting governor, the new coun- ty, formed during his administration was called after hispame. The act of the assem- bly establishing the county, is as follows, in part; “That Agson county be devided by a line, to begin where (the) Anson line was to cross Ragt Granville's (line) and from thence in a direct line north to the Virginia | tex! line, and that the said county be bounded on the north by the Virginia line, and to the south by the southernmost line of Earl Gran- ville’s: And that the upper part of said county so dévided be erected into a County and Pasjsh by the name of Rowan € onnty and St. Buke’s Parish, and thet all the cin habitant to:the westward of said line, and included within the before mentioned beun- daries shall belong and appertain to Rowan County. (Iredell’s Laws of NC. Ed. 1791. p. 154.) To get an idea of these extensive boundaries, we have only to remember that in 1749, Anson was cut off from Bladen by a line starting where the westernmost branch of Little Pee Dee enters South Carolina, thence up te the headwaters of Drow ning ; Creek and go on by a line equidistant fran Great Pee Dee and Saxapahaw. All west iof this somewhat indctcrminate line was Anson County. The design in 1753 was to include in Rowan all that part of Anson, which wag comprised in Earl Granv ille’s | lands, that is, all north of latitude 35° 34.’ as far as to the Virginia line. The + ‘point’ where Anson line was to cut Ear!

It appears they the General Assembly of North Carolina, at this early day pouae to exercise more power than was entirely Ieee, able to the royal government in Eng and, and by the multiplication of counties the ag sembly was increased in numbers too rapid- ly. Hence the policy of repression was ear- ly adopted. In 1754, the vear after the erec- tion of Rowan county, King George the Second, in privy council, revoked the acts of 1753, establishing Rowan, Cumberland and Orange counties “But upon amore thorough understanding of the subject, he was pleas- ed, the next year, to allow the said counties to be re-established, and the Assembly, at its sessions, in 17: 36, did re-establigl these counties, and validated all deeds and con- veyances that had been made during the period of the royal revocation.

A Darkry Precier’s Discourse.— The colored divines have oftentimes very forcible ways of expressing to their hear- ers the truths which they desire to make know. <A few days ago a colored minis- ter of this city preached a stirring ser- mon upon faith and unbelief. He dis- cussed the subject, looking at it from every point of view, and concluded with an illustration whose aptners ig unques- tionable. He compared the Christian to & measuring worm, saying: “De measur- ing worm he creep along slow, an’ slow ; —~exr-—-- before he make a step he raise his head | and look all round him, to see if dere is jany trouble ahead ; now, dis worm is like de Christian, who always looks ahead to see if he is doing wrong and -to be shore that he is gwine right.

Blake. His age Was about fifty-seven. Commodore Blake will be remembered by some of our read- ers as the commauder of the steamer Hat- terns, the vessel) that was sunk by the Alabama, after a gallant fight off Galves- ton in 1263. Seeing the Altwbama he gave chase, and soon found her awaiting him. Blake ran up within seventy-five yards, when the Alabama sung out, “We are the Corfederate steamer Alabama,” and fired a broadside into the Llatteras, ‘Blake returned the fire instantly and Bat the Confederate commander was too quick for him, and, after a gallant fight on both sides, in which the Hatteras was set on fire iu two places and intirely disabled, she surrendered and soon afterwards went promoted to rank of Commodore.— fal.

Burdette, the humorous lecturer of the Burlington Hawkeye, narrates this little episode as occuring tv him while journeying up in Massachusetts : At South Action a man got on the train, walked down the aisle until he vame to me, and then he passed and glared at a valise on the floor. ‘Take sway that yalise,’ he said yruffly, ‘or I’ll pat my feet on it.’ ‘Put your feet on it if you wish,’ I said, ‘it won’t hurt your feet, ’I don’t recon.’ Down he went into the seat beside ine and up went his feet on the valise. Presently the mud and snow on his arctics began to melt and run down the sides of the valise in ugly little streaks, The man from South Acton seemed to take a savage delight in scraping his feet around and making the hayoe as great as possible. ‘Toflable nice valise,’ he presently yrowled ; ‘shoald think ye’d rather put it away than have it tramped unto.’ ‘Good land,’ I said, a little testitly, ‘I can’t take charge of all the bag- gage in the car. It’s all I can do to look after my own.’ The man from South Acton stared at me with a changing countenance as he half lifted his feet. ‘Ye ain’t going to tell me this ain’t your valise, be ye?’ he asked, anx- iously, ‘Of course it wasn’t,’ I said ; ‘would I let any body ruin my valise in that way? ‘Well, then,’ he wanted to know, ‘whose in thunder was it ?’ ‘Belonged to a gentleman who had gone forward into the smoking car,’ [ said. ‘And if he doesn’t thump you when he comes out,’ said the fat passenger, cheerfully, ‘I’m most awfully fouled.’ The South Acton man took his feet off the valise and looked at it ruefully. ‘Who is he” he asked with visible anxiety. ‘College chap,’ said the tall, thin passenger. ‘Boss kicker in the Harvard foot- ball team,’ said the sad passenger ; ‘has a leg like a boom derrick.’ ‘I know him,’ said the passenger with the sandy goatee ; ‘he’s a raging tornado of wrath when he’s waked up.’ ‘Bad man,’ said the fat passenger ; ‘I don’t want no business with him.’ The man from South Acton looked at the valise with glances of concern and apprehension, and then turned on me somewhat indignantly. ‘Gaul durn ye,’ he said, witha subdued aniffle, while he took out his handkerehief and began repairs on the valise, ‘gaul durn ye, why didn’t ye tell me this seat was occupied ?” Not possessing the physical pow- erp of the Harvard chap, I meekly said, ‘Because he didn’t ask me. He only said if I didn’t move that valise he would put his feet on it, and I told him I didn’t care and I didn’t.’ He growled and whirled alternate- ly while he ruined every handker- chief he could find in his pockets, cleansing and polishing that valise, and @very time the car door opened, he stdyted nervously and looked up to see if the “kicker was coming in. By-and-bye, when the valise was res- tored to its primitive neatness, the fat passenger laughed a smothered kind of laugh. I bent over my tablet and-ecribled away like mad, The passenger with the sandy goatee, said, ‘Oh dear, oh dear,’ The tall, thin passenger whistled a bar from ‘The babes op onr block,’ and the sad pas- sengeét looked out of the window and sigh@§ as though his heart would The man from South Acton glared around the car, aud a light dawned in his face. ‘By gol,’ he said, ‘you fellers hez been lyin’ to me, and I know it. Add then the genial howl went up along the line, reaching the climax as the man from South Acton gave a savage kick at my innocent valise, and’ ‘slammed the door after him like a fit of wooden profanity as he got off the cars at Waltham. —_——_. .¢- s+ Anecdote of Alexandre Dumas. The fullowing anecdote of the cele- brated) French author is told by a Paris paper: Some years ago a mer- chant of Lyons was returning from Paris to, his natal city. In the same couipattment with him sata tall fel- low, lively, talkative and full of gas- A and amusing traveling companion one could wish for. On alighting at Lyons the mei- chant, charmed by the talking man- ner and by the gaiety of his neighbor exclaimed : ‘By Jove, sir, I am glad to have made your acquaintance! You area good fellow, a charming fellow! Can’t you talk, though! Come, let us make a trade, will you ?’ ‘Well, what sort of a trade?’ ‘Come and dine with me; at the deseert we will speak aboutit. I have an idea—will you come?’ ‘Very well—but I will pay my share. I insist upon it.’ ‘As you please; what an amaz- ing fellow he is! Ah, but I like you !’ Accordingly they took dinner to- gether, during which the merchant of- ferred the tall fellow a position as commercial traveler for his house; that was th eidea. “You have just the qualities re- quired,’ said he; ‘you will make your way.’ ‘But, my dear sir—’ ‘Come, now, how do you live?’ ‘Pooh! on very little!’ ‘Well, how much do you get a year in your branch ?’ ‘From $4,000 to $6,000.’ ‘Goodness sakes alive! but what do you do” asked the other disap- pointed. ‘Oh, I scribble on sheets of paper with a pen!’ ‘Ah, bah—you are joking again, you rogue! But what is your name ?” ‘Alexandre Dumas!’ Tableau. Sad Result of a Practical Joke. Brooks Gould was perhaps the most popular young man in Chicago. Gen- eral J. M. Waite, a middle-aged man of the same disposition, set Gould down as his first friend and the two were together a great deal. When they entered the apartments of the gen- eral on a Saturday afternoon not long ago, Gould, who had about him the sparkle of Mercutio, proposed that they should disarrange the furniture to make the negro servant, Jue, fancy that the rooms had been rubbed. The joke was carried out. Valuables were removed, the bed turned topsy turvy a la burglar, the wags retiring to the bathroom at Joe’s foot-fall in the hall- way. Joe reached the door and stood aghast. With month agape and eyes wide open he scrutinized in one glance the innermost corners and_ then straightway walked to the door of the bathroom. This he found locked from within. He put his ear to the keyhole. Faint sounds breathing reached him. He pulled out a revolv- er and instantly emptied every cham- ber into the panels of the door. Gen- eral Waite felt his young friend’s body quiver at the first shot and threw his arms around him. Death fol- lowed instantly. “Where is our American navy ?” shrieks an exchange. If this excited editor is laboring under the impres- sion that it is concealed in this town, he is mistaken. We haven’t seen anything of the American navy, and weare in the vicinity of the Schuyl- kill canal a good deal, too. If the na- vy is lost, the price of it should be deducted from Secretary Thomason’s salary. We told him six months ago that if he did not put bella on the necks of two steam rams, the entire navy would wander away and lose it- self. He said he could get up another one just as good inside of two weeks, and now let’s see him do it.— Norris- town Herald. ee ee Killed by a Meteor. The Bueyrus (O). Journal says that as David Meisenthaler, the well- known stock man of Whitestone township, was driving his cows to the barn about daylight this morn- ing, he was struck by an srolite and instantly killed. It appears as if the meteor had come frum a direction a little west or sonth and fell obli- quely at an angle of about sixty de- grees, for it first passed through a tall maple, cutting the limbs as clean asif it had beea a cannon ball, and then struck him apparently on or un- der theshoulder, passing clean through him obliquely from below the right shoulder to above the left hip, and and buried itself about two feet in the soft black ground. The poor man’s head and legs are uninjured, but the greater part of his body seems to have been crushed into the earth be- neath the terrific wrolite, which is about the size of a common patent bucket, and apparently of a roughly round shape. It appears to be ferm- coanade ; but on the whole the best ed of what is called iron pyrites. Advice to Girls. . Do not estimate the worth of a young man by his ability to talk soft nomeense nor by the length of bis moustache. Do net imagine that an extra ribbon tied about the neck can remedy the de- fect of a.soiled collar and untidy dress. If your hands are brown by labor do not envy the lily fingers of Miss Fuss and Feathers, whose mother works in the kitchen while the daughter lounges in the parlor. Ifa dandy, with a cigar between his fingers, asks you if smoking is offensive to you, tell him emphatically “Yes.” The habit should be, even though the odor may uot. Do not waste your tears on the imagi- nary sorrows of Alonza and Melissa nor the trials of the dime novels heroines. Seek rather to alleviate the woes of the suffering ones of earth. —- -_~e- If you am a Friend ax no questions. At Bowling Green, Ky., the train stopped for dinner. Soon there entered the cara colored man somewhat advanced in years, bearing a waiter upon which was displayed a large chicken, probably equally advanced in years, and the passengers were invited to invest : “Oh yes, gentlemen, here’s your nice bril- ed chicken—-right hot——sells him very cheap!” One of the passengers, in a spirit of in- sufferable curivsity, called out: “Say, uncle, where did you get that chicken ?” The old man passed along taking no no- tice of the question, but offering his chick- en first to one and then another in the same monotone: “Oh yes, gentlemen, here’s your nice briled chicken—right hot—sells him cheap” Again the question came: “Say, uncle, where did you get that chicken t” Still the old man took no notice of the question or questioner but passed on, offer- ing his chicken for sale, yet in a somewhat altered tone, indicating that he was not the best pleased at the repetition of the ques- tion. The passenger, determined on an an- swer of some kind, again called out louder than ever: “Say, uncle, where did you get that chicken ?” The old man turned around, poised his waiter on the arm of a car seat, and draw- ing himself up to his full height, said: *\Look’ee here, boss, is you from de Norf?” “Yes,” replied the traveler. ‘Well, is you a friend to de cullud man ?” “Yes, I'm a friend to the colored man; I am from Boston, and people who are from Boston are all friends to the colored man.” “Well, now boss, if you is a friend to de cullud man, don't you be so busy tryin’ to tind out whar dis chicken come from.” And he passed on calling out: ‘Oh yes, gentlemen, here’s your niced briled chicken —right hot—sell him cheap.” —“_- ~~ Horseshoe over the Door. Mrs. Abner Herbine of Berks county, Pa., recently celebrated her birthday by giving an enjoyable party, on which occasion Sen- ator Daniel Ermentrout was chosen the ora- tor. Overhaging the banquet table was a large horseshoe made of candy, to which the Senator referred in the following words: “Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, in the distant land of Norsemen, before they had come down and overrun all Europe, the horseshoe was regarded as a charm against the spell of witchcraft; it was a belief that had been perpetuated for ages that when people wished to keep away harm from cat- tle the horseshoe was hung over the stable door, and from the house, it was hung over the house door. It was hung up to bring “good luck.” Its deeper meaning was that the people believed ina power above and beyond them; that, although for generations men had been arguing against the belief in the supernatural, against the existence of some thing above us and a hereafter, yet despite it all, if we would to-day go into the home of the most refined in the land, we would tind the old horseshoe in burnished steel, or bright silver or shining gold, illuminated sometimes with beautiful flowers, some- times wit the German word “Gluck” en- graved on it, banging over the door, on the mantlepiece, or connected with some useful ornament, or shaped into the most costly jewelry. t What does jt mean? It means that the highest civilisation of the age is paying the same silent homage to the supernatural that the uncultyred heathen did in the far back time. This belief was an element of human progress and human strength and went far to nreve our hardy ancestors for the priva- tions, dangers and toils, whose ripened fruits we see in the comforts around us on every hand, and in the happiness of the present occasion, They believed in the something, of which the horseshoe was a symbol; ina power above them able and willing to pro- tect, and thus they made real progress. So long as we have the same belief, so long will society stick together and we make genuine progress. When we depart from from this belief, seciety will lapse into bar- barism.”’ It is heaven itself that points out a hereafter, and intimates an eternity to man.— Addison. Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.— Richter. . He who receives a good turn should never forget ; he who does one should never remember it.— Charron. It is necessary to repent for years in order to efface a fault in the eyes of men ; a single tear suffices with God. — Chateaubriand, The man who at the end of this life has a receipt in full of all demands from men, will have more than an or- dioary amount of credit to begin the Rigbly recommended to the public for all dis- enses requiring 9 ceria’n and efficient A Great Tonic, IONM; especial'y in Be@iges- ~~ tien.

It is too soon to forget the ravages of this terrible disease, which will no doubt return in a more mnalig- nant and virulent forin in the fall months of 1879. MKRRELL’S HEPATINE, a Remedy discovered in Southern Nubiaand used with such wonderful re- sults in South America where the most aggravated cases of fever are found, causes from one Ww two ounces of bile to be filtered or strained from the blood each time it passes through the Liver, as long as an excess of bile exists. By its wonderful action on the Liver and stomach the HEPATINE not only Cea to a certainty any kind of Fever and Black omit, but also cures Headache, Constipation of the Bowels, Dyspepsia and all Malaria] diseases.

Remarkable Cure of Scrofula, &. CASE OF COL. J. C. BRANSON. KINGSTON, Ga., September 15, 1571. Gents :—For sixteen years | have been a great suf- ferer from Scrofula tn its most distressing forms. 1 have been contined to my room and bed fur fifteen years with scrofulous ulcerations. ‘!he most ap- proved remedies for such cases had been used, and the most eminent physicians consulted, without any decided benefit. ‘hus prostrated, distressed, de- sponding, I was advised by Dr. Ayer, of Floyd Coun- ty, oo commence the use of your Compound Ex- tract Stfllingia. Language is as insulticient to de- scribe the relief I obtained from the use of the Stil- lingia as it is to convey an adaquate idea of the in- tensity of my suffering before using your medicine ; sufficient to say, I abandoned all other remedies and continued the use of your Extract of Stillingia, until I can say truly, “Iam cured of all pain,” of all dis- eases, With nothing to obstruct the active pursult of my profession. More than eight months have elapsed since this remarkable cure, without any 1e- turn of the disease. For the truth of the above statement, I refer to any gentleman tn Bartow County, Ga., and to the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit, who are ac- uainted with me. I shall ever remain, with the deepest gratitude, Your obedient servant, J.C. BRANSON, Att’y at Law. A MIRACLE. WEstT POINT, GA., Sept. 16, 1870. GENTS :—My daughter was taken on the 25th day of June, 1873, with what was supposed to be Acute Kheumatism, and was treated for the same with no success. In March, following, pleces of bone began to work out of the right arm, and continued to ap- ar till all the bone from the elbow to the shoulder Tint came out. Many pieces of bone came out of the right foot and leg. The case was then pro- nounced one of White Swelling. After having been confined about six years to her bed, and the case considered hopeless’ I was induced to try Dr. Pem- berton’s Compound Extract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied with its effects that I have continued the use of it until the present. My daughter was confined to her bed about six years before she sat up or even turned over without help. She now sits up all day, and sews most of her time—has walked across the room. Her general health is now good, and I believe she will, as her limbs gain strength, walk well. T attribute her re- covery, with the blessing of God, to the use of your invaluabie medicine. With gratitude, Iam, yours truly, W. B. BLANTON, WEsT PoINT, Ga., Sept. 16, 1870, GENTS :—The above certificate of Mr. W. B. Blan- ton we know and certify to as being true.

No all had faded out of her life. She was to them always “an ever present help,” ready, pains-taking, even cheerful ; filling their lives with happiness, their | home with sunshine. Her mother had died two years ago, since which time all her cares and reponsibilities had | fallen on Hester’s young shoulder.— | They had weighed heavily too, but 1 | | | Lut} she had hitherto been buoyed with’ the thought of Ernest’s love.

There was father, and there weie brothers Rex, Lester, Eugene and_ ;er to make them happy and good, ~ So, with the tenderest care she stud- died the four bright young faces around her, and tried with all a woman’s skill to make them contented with their humble little home. She insti- tuted little games of amusement, little home reading clubs ; sweet, simple al- lurements about the fireside; thus uiaking home more attractive to rest- less, wayward little hearts. Her greatest ambition was to make her father happy, her next that her brothers should grow up good, useful, intelligent men, and her last that she might earn something with her pen, to assist her father and educate the boys. Their little home and farm | | Was mortgaged, her father was growing old, too ald to work; the boys were young. Hester saw that she was need- ed—felt that son.ething must bedo ne, so she went to work in earnest, appli- ed her:e'f with enerzy to her studies, tried and tried, and tried again; did not stop for one failure, nor two, nor three, but kept right on and would not give up. Owing to her limited education she experienced many difficulties, some of Which seemed almost insurmountable, auntless spirit One day when wearied and almost exhaust- | ed by her many cares and trials, there came a letter from Judge Lindron, of- fering his heart and hand.

Her father sits in an easy-chair, free from anxie- ty; the boys have all received good educations and bid fair to be useful men. Each has now his work that he is doing well. They have come out from the hard life of toil into the _ brighter, broader paths of work, un- clouded by anxiety or goaded hy ne- cessity. Debt no longer hangs over them. They can enjoy the luxuries of rest and reading, music and occasion- ally a trip out into the world of change and progress. ‘Their home has many comforts and some Juxuries. And it is all due to Hester. She has the joy of knowing that her hand has brought ‘the blessings. By the energy and strength of her own mind, she has lifted herself and those she loves up from the depths to which poverty and misfortune had sunk them. It was a long, weary struggle, but at last light came. She succeeded in getting her book published ; it chanced to strike the mood of the hour and brought ber money and fame. But her famous book is not her best glory ; her pure, unsullied life has been keyed toa high- er note than the finest page she has ever written ; her best story is that she has lived out in her own home. | Do not think I have overdrawn her character, or made Hester Dare more of a heroine than you or I can be.—- “She was simply a woman, and had a woman’s faults, trials, and proneness to stray sometimes into bright and flowery but forbiddea ways—was just as liable to make wrong steps, and | had to struggle just as hard and as of- ten against temptation as any one.

Lean Moore. There has been a separation between an up-town lover and his sweetheart.

A Motor Which, the Inventor Declares, When Onee Started Will Run Till it Wears Out. All day yesterday the small rooms of Al- bert Pietrowski, at 26 Spring street, were crowded with visitors who had gone thither to see the new motor that was advertised in the Sun, on Monday. Mr. Pietrowski is a Pole. He is an engincer by profession, and has been in this country sixteen years. He has devoted his leisure hours to the elabo- ration of his invention. The model that he exhibited yesterday consists of » pair of hollow metal wheels, | four feet in diamter, which revolve on the same axis, but in opposite direction. The moving power is in nine metal balls placed within the wheels so as to bear the rim down at first, and then gravitate toward the axis, where a side groove runs the balls off to a grooved radius of thé wheel revolv- ing in the opposite directions.. Four balls were placed in the grooved radii of the first | wheel and four. im the radii of the second, | and when momentum had been gained the ninth ball was added, to give additional power. Tothe axle of the wheels, which is also the axle of smaller grooved wheels | that regulate the speed of the machinery, the shatting is applied. “Give, me a cast iron wheel sixty feet in diameter,” said Mr. Pietrowski, “and I will show you a motor of 300-horse power, that requires nathig to keep it in operation. It will continue to run until the material wears out.” Several of the engineers who witnessed the working of the Pietrowsk1 machine yes- terday, were, sanguine in the opinion that forall practical purposes, leaving eut the engine ot the locomotive and the steamboat. it will be found of great value.

A Million Dollars Worth of Property De- stroycd, PanaMA, January 13.—-Early in December the Cocoa Valley was visited by heavy rains and the water rose until many yards above the highest freshet mark designated by memory or tradition, and the inhabitants along its coast were driven from their homes. The river rose until over three miles wide and went raging through the valley carry- ing all before it. Several small vitlages were destroyed and some lives lost. When the streams subsided everything had been destroyed in the way of crops and movables of all sorts; eattle, goats, horses are all gone. The Cocoa farmers visited their haciendas in boats trying to gather the erop which: had been left on the trees. They had togo arm- ed-in' order to protect themselves against the immense snakes gathered in the branch- es of the trees, which had been driven down the valley by the force vt the waters. The loss is estimated at one million dollars, ee ea ee Horrible Negro Insurrection in Peru.. : . Panama, January 10.—A revolution of the negroes has occurred in the department of Chincha, and some horrible butcheries have ensued.

There was a dispute over the returns, as canvassed by two rival canvassing boards, and two Legislatures were in consequence set up —one the Pinchback and the other the Warmoth Legislature. The Pinchback party thereupon got an order from Durell, the United States Judge, at midnight, directing the United States marshal to seize aud hold the State House, aud ad- mit no one to seats whow he (the mar- shal) did not think entitled to them. The marshal took United States trodps accordingly, seized the State House, nnd admitted no one but members of: the Pinchback faction, and the Legislatare thus organized was promptly recognized - by telegraph from Washington by” Pfesi- dent Grant in person. Previvasty to this Warmoth’s Senate had been prevented from forming a quorum by Casey’s Jend- ing the United States revenue cutter to carry off a number of the Senators out of reach of the Seryyant-at-Arms. “They were kept on board several days, but Casey was not dismissed for his eon- duct. In 1375, there being another dispute about the Legislature, Kellogg, the Re- pablicau Governor, determined to orga- nize the Legislature himself, with United States troops, which were promptly fur- nished Lim for that purpose. General de Trobriand went into the House, read a letter from Kellogg telling the House it was an illegal body, and expelled from the chamber such persons as were puiated out by General Champbell, Kellogg's general of militia. General de Trobrianad then had the roll called, and seated such persons as he thought proper, with the aid of a file of soldiers. These were Republican metheds in those days at the South; they are stal- wart wethods now at the North whet ever circumstances require their use.— Raleigh Observer. -—————_ +4 SHERMAN's FRIENDS Movina—A call signed by over two hundred leading citigens of Columbus, Ohio, business men, manufae- turers and bankers, was issued for a conven- tion of Secretary Sherman's friends through+ out the State, to assemble in Columbastete weeks hence, with a view of orgeniaing clulis in his interest in the State.> The call, emanating as it does from capitalists and friends of the administration, is regarded as the preliminary move toward placing the Ohio delegation to the national convention solid for Mr. Sherman. The friends of the secretary are decidedly jubilant, and a gath- ering siinilar to a State conv -ntion is antic: ipated. ee The First National Bank of New York is a pet of Secretary Sherman's.

Williams came to us and said get ready and go to Indiana. They ‘lectioneered just as they do in election times. ‘They promised that if I came to Indiana I would receive from $2 to $3 per day for any kind of labor, and that I would be provided with a house to live in.” ‘What other promises ?” “Well, dey said that there were 500 houses built and furnished for us; that we would be given bed clothing and suits and a milk cow.” “Were you to get work ?” “Oh yes, yes, sir, we was given the privilege of farming for ourselves or work - ing at $3 per day. They said we could buy good land at $1.50 te 82 per acre, and that provisions would be furnished us for scven months, and those who did not buy laud would be hired by men as soon as they arrived in the city, right from the trains.” “You have found this true ?” “NO, sir; u0, indeed. As I stand before the Lord, not one word is as they said.” “Tell we now,” said the reporter, *‘how much money have you made since you arrived, nine days ago ?” “Ten cents, that is every cent, as true as I am here.” ‘‘Have you a family ?” “A wife and six head of children.” ‘Have you money ?” “Well, Lis got 40 cents what I brung With me, and nothing to eat, no wood and no clothing. We sleep on the bear fluor. They tuld me we did not have to burn wood here,” “What was it Ferry told you about be- ing Republicans?” “Samuel Perry told me that we must all be valiant-hearted Republicans; that they wanted no Demueratic niggers in the party, aud that we must all show our principles and vote the Republican tick- et.” “Of course you agreed ?” “We all told him we weuld do as we had been doing, and that was to vote that ticket.

The Railroad Question in North - Carolina. In anything we may say in this article we wish it to ve understood, we are not actuated by the slightest hostility to the West and its important interests. So far from this we are extremely anxious to see the unquestioned resources of that favored section developed, and to see it put in connection with the world beyond by the most substantial railways. We. shall regard it a great day for the West and the State at large when the road is completed to Paint Rock. But whilst we say this most sineerely we fail to see the many good resalts unmixed with evil that appear to dazzle the eyes of those who are eager to accept Mr. Best’s proposition, the main features of which we gave yesterday. Thus failing, we are compelled to oppose the sale of the Western North Carolina Road on any such terms asthe New York Syndicate proposes. According to our apprehension there is nothing so alluring in the Best proposi- tion as to make our peuple agree to the sale when itis serutinized, We cannot go into the matter at length. We briefly note, first, that the Best proposition gives $850,000 stock to the State of North Carolina, but pray whatis that worth with a mortgage of $12,500 to the mile overlapping aud hiding it? It would probably be worth no more than so much waste paper. Then again, what would be the effect of such a sale? It would be contro}led by a foreign company, and would be run in the interest, pure and simple, of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, its de- pencies and co-conspirators. It would give Richmond the vantage ground on the north, whilst on the south Charleston will control the situation.

We protest against handing over the intereste of eur penple into the hands of foreign corporators. We protest against cutting ourselves off from all power to protect ouraelves against the unfriendly rnlings and manipulations of men who seek to build up the interests of other States to. the great detriment of the people of North Carolina. We insist that if the Western North Carolina Railroad is to be sold that North Carolinians be allowed an opportu- nity to bid for the same—that they have at least equal chances with men living be- yond the State. We have reason for. believing that a number of North Garolinians have the matter of purchasing the Western Caro- lina Road‘ under consideration, and that they will offer té buy it in case the State is willing to sell—the, Statc, however, to supply them with a stipulated number of convicts. In-due time Gov. Jarvis and the Directors of the Road will be addyess- ed upon the subject, and if a sale shall be deemed necessary or desirable, then peo- ple at home, who have at heart the inter- est of the State, will become the purchas- ers. We hope that no step will be taken until the gentlemen referred to shall have been heard from.

Cuarceston, 8S. C., January 22.—: fire broke out in the large car shed of the South Carolina Railroad, North of the Line street depot, yesterday at one o'clock, A. M. The flames spread so rap- idly that the entire shed was in flames almost before the alarm could be given, and by the time the engines were at the scene the entire yard north of the depot Was ip fllames, As there was no facility for obtaiving water the tiremen could do pothing but watch the flames and endea- vor to: prevent their, spreading south- ward. hy three o’clock they had burned everything within reach. The loss is very heavy amounting to between twenty and twenty-five thou- sand dollars, upon which there was an insurance of but five thousand dollars. All the passenger coaches of the compa- ny that were stored in the shed some twenty in number, were destroyed to- gether with about twenty-five freight curs that were Jyingin the yard. The firemen and the company’s employees pushed a number of freight cars out of reach of the flanyes, and thus suecceded in saving quite an amount of property. The shed, which was three hundred and ten feet in length and about fifty feet in width was entirely destroyed, together withthe tracks and cross ties.

WM. R. Jan. 30, 18380. —— +> --—_ Taylorsville Letter. JANUARY 30th, 1880. Mr. Editor: A large crowd was present to-day to witness the execution of Joe Gillespie, colored, convicted at the fall term of our Superior Court as an accom- plice in the murder of Mr. Fowler, at Mooresville. The prisoner had been remanded after his conviction te Statesville jail, where he remained until Thursday, when he was brought up by the proper officers, from Iredell, and delivered to Sheriff Mays, charged with the execution of the sentence of the Court. He was visited in the jail, and at his request accompanied to the gallows, by Rev. W. A. Pooland Rev. A. Carson, who conducted short but impress- ive services at the gallows. The prisover made a short talk, in which he acknowl- edged his guilt as accessory and full knowledge of it, but denied taking any active part in the killing, but heard the blow that was struck, He said siv had brought him to his sad end; advised all to shun bad company and let liquor alone, as that was what had been his undoing— had tried to repent of his sins and hoped he had been forgiven. After his sbort talk he knelt on the platform and engaged a few minutes in audible prayer—asked the people present from Mooresville to forgive him. Ata few minutes after 12 o'clock the drop fell, and although he hung nearly half an hour, it was thought he was dead in vive minutes after he was swung off. He was buried by the side of Bob McCorkle by the sh and his as- sistants. Every thing connected with this, only provés more and more the necessity of private executions always—public execu- tions are in a high degree demoralizing.— A more noisy, turbulent crowd is seldom seen on our streets than this evening af- ter witnessing a scene which ought to im- press the truth that “The way of the transgressor is hard.” -- ee They are talking now of anew Bank- rupt Law. Now don’t please. That last one was fearful aud the country has not begun to recover yet from the attack. It is still shivering from head to foot. So hold oa for a decade or so and let the re ee ae oe But from the Records in the office of the Bu perior Court Clerk in Salisbury, it appears probable that it was held in June, 1753, only a few months after the county was establish- ed. Thenamesof the justices who presided at the courts the first year, were Walter Carruth, Thomas Lovelatty, James Carter, John Brandon, Alexander Cathey, Squire Boone, Thomas Cook, Thomas Petts, Geo. Smith, Andrew Allison, John Hanby, Alex- ander Osborne, James Tate, and John Bre- vard. We know, or have some reasons for conjecturing, the neighborhoods from which several of these magistrates came. Walter Carruth owned lands, and probably resided, on the east side of Coddle Creek, adjoining the McKnights, in the Prospect neighbor- hood. James Carter owmed the lands in the southeast quarter of Salisbury, on both sides of Water street, and on towards Crane creek, now called Town creek, and probably lived in the present corporate limits of Salisbury. John Brandon lived six miles south of Sal- isbury, near the Concord Road, on the plan- tation now owned by Charles H. McKenzie, Esq. Alexander Cathey lived on Cathey’s Creek, near Thyatira Church, and was the ancestor of the late Alexander Long, M. D. of Salisbury. Squire Boone lived on the Yadkin, at Alleman’s or Boone’s ford, and was the father of the great hunter and pio- neer, Daniel Boone, of Kentucky. At this place young Daniel spent the days of his boyhood, and no doubt often hunted over the hills and through the thickets of the Yadkin. Thomas Potts probably lived in the Jersey settlement, where Potts’ Creek running into the Yadkin River just below the site of the Indian Town of Sapona, per- petuates his name. George Smith was prob- ably from the same neighborhood, where a prominent family of that name still resides. Andrew Allison owned large tracts of land on Fourth Creek, a few miles from States- ville, where a large and influential family of that mame may still be found. Alexander Osborne lived on the head waters of Rocky River, about two miles north of Davidson College. He was a /eading man in the coun- ty, a colonel, the father of Adlai Osborne, and the ancestor of the late eloquent and popular Judge James W, Osborne, of Meck- lenburg. John Brevard was probably from the same neighborhood, a little farther west, and not fur from Beattie’s Ford, on the Catawba. At least this was the neigh- borhood of the Brevards, one of whom, Dr. Ephraim Brevard, is reputed to be the com- poser of the celebrated Mecklenburg Decla- ration of Independence. Of Lovelatty, Cook, Hanby and Tate, the writer has no know!- edge, though doubtless some of their de- scendants may be still residing among us. There is a ford on the Catawba, and a Post Ottice in Caldwell county called “Lovelady.” perhaps a remembrance of Justice Love- latty, of the Rowan county court. A good part of the time of the first court was taken up in registering the marks and brands which the citizens had invented to distinguish their cattle, and other live stock; and the changes are rung on “crops,” “half crops,” “slits” and “swallow-forks,” in the “oft” and ‘near’ ear, and other quaint de- vices for marking. The cattle that were to be identified by the marks and brands ‘reg- istered in the Rowan Court, ranved over the ; meadows and prairies of the Yadkin, the Catawba, the Deep, the Saxapahaw, and the Dan rivers. Constables were also ap- pointed whose beats lay as much as a hund- red miles from the seat of justice. These old * Records” of the Rowan Court of Pleas und Quarter Sessions, fur 1753 ’4°5°6 are full of interest to any one who will take the trouble to decipher them. For instance, here is a list of constables and their beats for 1753. Preston Goforth for the South Fork of the Catawba. (This was for the re- gion from Hickory to Lincoln). John Mc- Guire, south side of the Yadkin; John At- taway (?) for Dan River. Jehn Robinson for south side of Yadkin, from the mouth of Grant's Creek to the ford of the same ; thence across to the Trading Path; thence along said Path, as far as Coldwater, thence with his Lordship’s Line.” This shows that the Trading Path ran to the point where Coldwater Creck runs from Rowan into Ca- barrus. ‘John Nesbit had his beat from James Cathcy’s Creek to the western Path, as far as the fork of said Path. James Howard frem James Cathey’s Creek to Third Creek, and as far as the Division Ridge between the twosettlements. Benja- min Winslow, as far as the Catawba River, and along the King’s Line, and Lamb’s mill, and down as far as Wm. McKnights. John Doller on Abbott’s Creek, as far as the West- ern Path. David Stewart on the north side of Yadkin, from Muddy Creck and upward. William Fisher for the district included in the Forks of Yadkin. James Watkins from the Orange line as far as Beaver Island Creek, on Dan River. James Hampton from Beaver Island Creek and upwards” (i. e. higher up the Dan). These names of men and localities show the extent of the juris- diction of the Rowan Court, stretching from the Orange line and Dan River, to the King’s line, and as far west as the south fork of the Catawba, northwest of Lincolnton. The fol- lowing were the officers of the county, viz: Richard Hlilliar, Deputy Attorney Gener- al; John Dunn, Court Clerk; James Carter, Esqg., County Register; John Whitsett; County Treasurer; Francis Corbin, Esq., Colonel of Rowan Regiment of Foot; Scot- ton Davis, Captain in Corbin’s Regiment. The following persons are named as com- posing the Grand and Pettit Juries of the first Court, viz: Henry Hughey, John Mc- Culloch, James Hill, John Burnett, Samuel Bryant, John McDowell, James Lambath, Henry Dowland, Morgan Bryan, William Sherrill, William Morrison, William Linvil. Samuel Baker, asked this Court (1753) to declare his mill on Davidson’s Creek (near Centre Church) a public mill, and his re- quest wasgranted. Jno. Baker proved before this Court that his ear had been bitten off in an affray, (not cropped off for larceny), and obtained a Court certificate to that effect. In those days inn-keepers were not allow- ed to charge at their own discretion, for the drinks and other entertainments which they furnished to their patrons, but the ceurt took the matter in hand and made a sched- ule of prices. In 1755, after fixing the pri- ces for wine, whiskey. beer, etc. etc., they decided that the keepers of ordinaris, Inns or Taverns, should charge as follows. For dinner of roast or boiled flesh 1 shilling. “ 8u and Breakfast i . pence. * Lo over night, g00 “ - Stablage (24 hours) with good hay or fodder, 6 ‘“ Pasturage, 1st 24 hours 4 pence every 24 hours after, 2 ‘“‘ Indian corn or other grain, per quart, This was to be paid in Proclamation mofey, which was abeut on par with Confederate the 2d or 3d year of the late war. Salisbury was well supplied with licensed ordinaries, or inns, in those days. The li- censed houses were as follows: In 1755 John Ryles’s Ordinary was licensed. In 1756, John Lewis Beard, Peter Arrand, Ja- cob Franck, Archibald Craige, James Bow- er, and Themas Bashford and Robert Gilles- 6“b ‘“s “ -OWIAN COUNTY.| like very well : plows, while others are busy engaged in clearing their land preparatory for the spring work. and agreeable, and such a winter, thus that it was ata later Temple Coles k Dunn Esq., died in the winter of 1782-38. attorneys by Gov.

This name will often recur ia the course of these sketches. At the June term of 1753, the Court pro- a court-house, pillory, stocks and 1. The action of the Court.is substantially, as fol- lows: “The Court House, gaol and stocks shall be located where the “Irish settlement” forks, one fork leading to John Brandon's Esq., and the other fork along the old way- on road over Grant’s Creek, called Sill's path, and near the most convenient spring.” John Brandon, as stated before, lived six miles south of Salisbury, on the Concord Road, and “Sill’s Path” was probably the Beattie’s Ford road, crossing Sill’s Creek, about seventeen miles west of Salisbury. The most “convenient spring” is thought to be a spring in the garden of the late Dr. Alexander Long, where Jacob Franck’s Or- dinary and still house were afterwards es- tablished, the lot afterwards owned by Matthew Troy, the father-in-law, of the late Maxwell Chambers. The exact site of the Court house was the centre of our present public square, at the intersection of Corbin and Innes streets, where the great Town well now is. Tradition says that this spot—orig- inally considerably higher than it now is— was a famous “deerstand,” where the rifle- man stood, and with unerring aim brought down the fleet-footed doe or antlered stag, as he fled before the music-making pack of hounds, The Court directed that the Court House should be of frame-work, weather-boarded, thirty feet long and twenty feet wide, a story and a half high, with two floors, the lower one raised two feet above the ground, It was tu be provided with an oval Bar, and a Bench raised three feet above the floor, with a table and seat for the Clerk, and “cases” for the attorneys. There was to be a good window behind the Bench, with glass in it, and a window near the middle of each side, and a door in the end opposite the Bench. This simple structure of wood, with one door and three windows, appears to us, after the lapse of a century and a quarter, to have been an insigniticant affair. But doubtless it compared favorably with the finest structures tu be found in the wil- derness, only about ten years after the first settlers arrived, and it accorded well with the temper and the habits of those earnest and honest justices’ who sat upon the “Bench,” and arraigned evil-doers at their bar. No complicated suits, involving nice points of law, often came before them for adjudication, but rather affrays, trespass and larcenies, with now and then a homi- cide, would make up the docket. Suits would not be apt to linger long. ‘They did net erect avery large or very strong jail, for the culprit was apt to find himself speed- idly in the pillory, stocks or whipping post. I presume that few offenders escaped upon legal technicalities, or on the plea of insanity, for the administrators of the law were more likely to consult the dictates of primitive justice, than the niceties of any written code or precedent. > Flaggtown Letter. Fres'ry 2d, 1830, * * * * Editor Watchman: While rumaging about in an old dilapi- dated building in this town a few days since, I inadvertently laid my hand apen ahalf bound volume which showed un- inistakable signs of old age. I hastily, from impulse, opened the book and im- mediately discovered that it was a histo- ry of our present town, written years, years gone by. Of course, I chuckled to think that I had so fortunately become the posseasor of such a valuable book, and perused its contents with unadulterated satisfaction. From this book 1 am ena- bled to give you any information in rela- tion to the early history of our town. It appears that many, many years ago, away back as far as the year 1879, there came to this section of Montgomery coun- ty a company of men whose intent and purpose was that of searching for gold. In the neighborhood of eleven men com- posed the company, and its superiutend- ent was a California miner, who might, with propriety, be called a “forty-niner.” Now, this company commenced in earnest their operations and soon gave employ- ment to nearly the entire ueighborhood. The place comménced to grow rapidly, and as natural, the inhabitauts thought seriously of a name for the town. Divers hames were suggested, such as ‘Scrabble Hill,” *Pinkytown,” “‘Horseville,” ‘*Luck- hard,” ““‘Whoosic,” ‘‘Damfino,” and others “too numerous tu mention.” Lut at last, after due deliberation, it was decided to name the place ‘‘Flaggtown,” in honor of Mr. John H. Flagg,* the President of the company, who now resides in Washing- ton city. ° * = It is at this particular time of the year that the young lady of the household ar- ranges to have her “quilting party”—in- viting young lasses to help out the work, and young gents to make the erculee: lively. They enjoy themselves hugely over “snap ’em up,” “drop the handker- chief,” ‘‘pust-office,” “pillow” and “sail- ing in the boat when the tide runs high.” ‘These parties are “all the go” now, and afford the young people opportunities for happy social intercourse. The young men are ing againet the fashion of ladies kissing among themselves. One has got off the following, which the girls dou’t é “Men scorn to kiss among themselves, And searce would kiss a brother ; Bot women want to kiss so bad, They gladly kiss each other.” Some of our farmers are starting their The weather still continues to be mild pie received licenses.

He isa gentleman ‘of education, great familiarity with the wants of the people—a fine can- vasser, and one of the most popular men in the State. He not only redeemed his coun- ty from the dominion of Ragical Rule but his Senatorial District as well. He can beat any man in his section of the State for any place he asks at the hands of the people, and would in my opinion, add great strength to our State ticket if mominted for Secre- tary of State. His record as a public man, will show him to have been the unflinching friend of the over burdened tax payers of the State, on all occasions being opposed to | high taxation, high salaries and fees, ‘and jin fact every measure that oppress the peo- | ple, or infringes upon their liberties, He is {in fact, the people’s man, and will do more to win success for our ticket than any man in.the State.

A marriage recently took place in one of the public roads of this county under the following circumstances. It seems that the parents of an expectant bride objected to her marrying the man of her choice, and remembering the old saying, “Out of sight out of mind,” they thonght the lovers would forget each other if separated. So the stern parents of the young lady sent her in exile to the resi- dence of a relative living in the adjoining county of Moore, but qnite near the Chatham line. But the love of this un- fortunate couple burned with tvo fierce a flame to be so easily extinguished, and the gallant hero of our tale, by diligent inquiry, soon ascertained the wereabouts of his lady-love, and by means of an un- derground telegraph they were speedily in commanication with each other. The relative, to whose house our heroine had been banished, soon sympathized with the loversin their troubles, and a mar- riage was at once agreed upon.

Chew Jackson’s Best Sweet Navy Tobacec had, sometime before the banishment of his captive duleina, procured « marriage license in this county, which of course could not be used in Moore, and so tu avoid any loss of time and the expense of getting a license in the latter county, they determined to be married in Chat- ham. The boundary line between the counties was only about three hundred yards distant, the nearest point being the public highway. Quite a number of the neighbors were hurriedly summoned, and forming a proeession, they marched to the big road, where a Chatham Magis- trate met them, and so out there in the public highway with the attendants drawn up ip due order was the marriage duly and decorously solemnized. The old neighborhood tiddler was present, and most excitedly seraped out the wedding music, which so animated the bridal par- % e 2 Saver ter an ten gop io tin ng FOR set Harness—can be seen at W. M.

The Dill restores -to the pension‘rolls, with all ar- rears of pay due, the pensioners of the Mexican war who were stricken from the rolls for alleged disloyalty, and pensions all survivors at the rate of cight dollars per nonth from the date of its pissage.

The official records show that the army fought 10 general battles and 98 engagements in the course of two years without the loss of a single stand of col- ors, and that they entered the City of Mexice, with 6,500 men, and dictated a peace within a walled city, the capital of a foreign nation, of 150,000 inhabitants. The population of Mexico at that time was 8,100,000.

Contri- butions are poufény in, and tho /ferald says it expects to receive contributons from every village and city in the United S‘ates and Canada. A New York special to the Wash- ington Poet says: “Among the latest contributions seknowl- edged by the Herald are the following: August Belmont, $500; Smith, Churchill Scribner, $500; B. A. Buck, editor of the rit of the 7'imes, $1000, and Harry Hin, $100. Potitictans, firemen, actors, actreasea, school childvea and others are among the contributors.

The Muster Stevedores’ association all be proud, anl it matters not from what part ef the State he comes. oe The fellow Simmons, over whom the Georgia delegation are split up, is an ignor- ant, narrow, illiterate preacher, who wants to be supervisor of the census “just to tri- umph over the secesh traitors.” The Rich- mond Stgfe’s correspondent says of the fight : “Tt strikes outsiders as worthy of notice that Senator Hill and Mr. are fight- ing the battle of thosc who have d-feated the regular Democratic organization in Geor- gia. The fight seems to draw the line be- tween the regular Demoerats and Indepen- dents in Georgia, and Gordon as the leader ef one and Ben. Hill of the other.” 4 — There is danger ahead, we fear, iv Vir- ginia and Georgia. Whata great disas- ter it wonld be if after all there should not be a “selid South” in 1880.

The amendments and additions to and changes of the former proposition were noted.

Interest ou line aimount to remain A discussion of the proposition ensued. | Iu response to inquiries, President Wilson | stated that though no proposition other | than this to complete the entire road with, both its Paint Rock aud Ducktown branch- | e:, had been made, -he had no doubt that | numbersof other corporations would avail themselves of the opportunity to complete | the Paint Rock portion of the line if cer- | tain conditions were allowed, such as the | issue of mortgage bonds. He said, further, that there is now on hand sufficient iron to build the read to Swannanoa bridge, two miles from Asheville. He also said that a of Tennessee capitalists had expressed a willingness to complete the read from Asheville to Paint Rock. Mr. W. TP. Dortech made remarks: at some length upon the proposition. Ife inquired if the parties who desired to purchase the road can, by mortgaging it for *15,000 per as they propose, build the entire line, why it is that the State of North Carolina cannot de it? We are to have nothing in the way of a con- trolling power. If we furnish, as we are to be required to do, 500 convicts, ought we not to have an interest in the manage- ment? What necessity is there for haste in the matter of the sale? The longer the delay the better. When the road is finished to Paint Rock it cau be sold for $3,000,000. Yet it is proposed to sell it now for $550,000 in bonds which are worthless and subject toa mortgage of $4,200,000. He did not wish to be a slave to capitalists, nor did he desire the State to give up its interest in any of its roads. The iron, rolling stock, etc. of the road were now worth a million dollars. Reject the proposition, Put the whole force of convicts on the Paint Rock division, and it can be graded in eighteen mouths, and as cheaply as any road in central North Carolina. Eighteen miles down the French Broad are already graded. He favored building both branches, but thought that the one to Paint Rock should be complet- ed first, and then that to Ducktown. The treasurer says he cannot give any more money this year. Nevermind that. Let ue wait until the Legislature meets next winter, and ask that body to give us pow- er to mortgage the road and raise funds. He did not propose to impose any further tax upon the people, and this plan would avoid it. Tho road must be completed to Paint Rock, for it will not pay if it only stops at Asheville. He thought it singu- lar that just as the great work of getting through the Blue Ridge was completed these capitalists should come here and make such effers. It was because they saw the immeuse importance of the line. Another thing to be considered was thie reguiation of freights if these parties pur- chase the road. Who will regulate them? The Legislature cannot do so. Once the capitalists get the road they have the people in their power. The ‘completion of this line will give us a great bulk of number mile, | North Carolina system complete. ' years the line of railways will pay the ex- penses of the state government. The cont ta” purcliase that road, assembled in the bonds ate due in 1890, but we need not Pay they then, We.can_raise more mon- ey by mortgage to pay them. Mr. Dortch said he coald think of but two objects of ‘the capitalists in the proposed purchased. One wag to secure the road and the great trade from the West over the road. The other was to control the road in the inter- est of Northern roads. For one of these two reasons the ofter was certainly made. ' He said that it was officially stated that ; | $30,000 had been deposited here to meet ‘ the expenses of the extra session of the | Legislature. This, he thought, was an outrage to North Carolina. He would scorn te take pay as a legislator save from | his State. Col. Wm. Johnston was asked te make some remarks. He agreed in many points with Mr. Dortch. tion is all that is needed to make the Two hundred thousand dollars in bonds would complete the road to Paint Rock. It will facilitate and guarantee the construction of the Paint Rock branch. Every road, save one, that has gone through the Ap- palachian cange, has been found a profita- ble enterprise. This is the most impor- tant proposition ever put before the peo- ple. The importance of this outlet and inlet of trade can hardly be realized. If outside corporations secure our roads, they will have a taxing power greater than the General Assembly and without any redress. They have the immense power to levy such rates as they may choose, bot only but for all time. Corporations are beginning to rule the country. It is a good time consider before of valuable property.

The pork and wheat producing West is thrown by its means in @irect communication with our cvoton and naval stores regions. We have the shortest route to the great West. He opposed the calling of the Leg- | islature and recommended that Mr. Best) submit the proposition to the next Gener- al Assembly. Mr. Cocke, who that besides the value of the road when completed, the means of completing it should be discussed. Ile thought the great trouble to be apprehended was that when the road reached Asheville the peo- ple would demand that it stop there, on account of the heavy taxation that its com- pletion would require. The aggregate public sentiment of the State, he feared, was called on, would not appreciate the importance of! the connection, and would not, he also thonght, allow the completion of the Duecktown branch. He doubted if the next Legislature wonld not stop the build- ing of the road at Asheville. This has been insisted upon through the press, and in some sections of the State it has been endorsed by public sentiment. It is a pity that this is so. He did not believe that it could get support to be built to Paint Rock without the support of the men on the Ducktown route, It cannot be built to Paint Rock without building it to Ducktown. He thought there were guarantees in the proposition by Mr. Best of the fulfillment of the contract. There is no man who has been over the road but will agree that we have just begun the work on this great enterprise. much work to be done of so expensive a character to make the road safe. Maj. Wilson said the people up in his country, if it was left with them to say, would say stop the work. The North Carolina system is anidlename. The in- terest in the roads has passé@into other hands. The interest in all save the Weet ern North Carolina is held by other cor- porations. Mr. Dortch says that the State can build the road as well as these parties. Mr. Best’s friends advance the money and takeup the bonds. This is what Mr. Best says. I do not kvow his financial ability. We have an $250,000 mortgage on the road from Salisbury to Asheville. Then there are £550,000 of a statutory lien. There are 45 miles to iron to Paint Rock ata costof $350,000. Then add $200,000 more to build it, and you have a total of $1,800,000, It will take $5,000,000, at the lowest estimate, to build by contract labor the road to Ducktown. Astousing the earnings of the Paint Rock branch to complete the other branch, it will take thirty years to do it, putting the carnings at one hundred thousand dollars. If the State would come forward and build the road, it would be well, but it will bo so many years before this can be done that I am desirous to see the road completed by the capitalists. If they build the Duck- town branch it will, I believe, be the most valuable. He said he heard of no one coming in proposing to build to Duck- town.

Mr. Bryson said that he had hoped that the proposition would be such as the board would aceept. He would much rather that the State could build the road than any corporation. for the road, and were watching for it Now they were to be cut off from the rest | their State. If Mr. Best’s proposition would build the road, he favored it. If the | State would build it he favord that. He could not agree tofput the convicts on one | line alone. ‘The road to Ducktown was! the original line. The convict foree was intended to be divided equally. This sat- isfied the people on both lines, All the members voted for this and supported it. I cannot now vote to cut off my country /when I have been laboring for years for the completion of the road. Once cut off, _the fear is that we will never be reinstat- ed. I don’t know whether it is wise or unwise to accept this proposition, but if ‘Mr. Best will build the road, I am in favor of accepting it. Mr. Davidson said that Mr. Bryson had expressed his views. He had assumed that Mr. Best’s proposition was one made in good faith and to be carried out. He looked at it solely with a view to the com- | pletion of the road. We must not esti- mate the cost of the road by the face value of the bonds originally issued in aid of the road. I take it for granted ‘that if this proposition is rejected, the ' fate of the western extension is sealed. I take it for granted that no man_ here thinks he can get another cent of direct ‘appropriation or another convict for this iroad, If we goon at aliwe must do 80 upon what we now have. Ido not believe we can lay afoot of iron beyond the Swan- nanoa bridge, two miles from Asheville, until after the Legislature meets. If you adopt Mr. Dorteh’s plan and mortgage the road, @ year will elapse before you can realize. After you get to Paint | Rock, how will you get to Ducktown? Will any one ask the Legislature to mort- gage the line from Salisbury to Paint Pock to complete to Ducktown? It can’t be built under this system, without furth- er appropriations. West of the Ridge I have seen bat one man who does not favor the sale. So much for public senti- Inent. The adoption of this plan relieves the State of $170,000 direct taxation, which is rather over 12 cent on the $100. The North Carolina “system” is but a fond re- collection. It is a thing of the dead past. It may be that we will get a better proposition. When the Legisla- ture meets Mr. Best doesn’t know wheth- er they will accept his proposition. Hence his desire to urge it now. The people of the mountains have aided in the construc- tion of the other roads in the State, and how you say wait! wait! It is equivalent to saying, death, death. If wo fiuish the road under the mortgage plan, can we tell whether the profits will be equal to the interest on the bonds? Sooner or later the interest of the State will be gone, as it has gone in the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford, and is now going in the North Carolina, and Atlantie and North Carolina roads. Mr. Dortch thinks the title tothe Western North Carolina Railroad is not good. This is on account of a jaudg- ment debt of over $59,000. The only thing they could enforce would be the payment of thissum. We can takea new line. Iam told that by a new survey we can save one-third of the cost to Duck- town. Col. Johnston asked why did not Mr. Best give the names of the men associated with him ? Mr. Cuoke said the Governor had been given the names, and knew the parties. Maj. Wilson said that one of the parties was Mr. Strout, of the Shue and Leather Bank, of New York. Treasurer Worth was called apon for a few remarks. He said it was his thorough belief that the people were tired of appro- priating money to build railroads and support convicts. No legislature will ever make sueh appropriations again. The people are determined the convicts shall support themselves. He said public sen- | | | He favored the proposi-! timent was in favor of the sale of the road.

He said he Knew enough of Mr. Best to say that, he_ was able to do what he promised, and wasa reliable map, He said the Legislature, made appropria- tions without levying specific taxes to meet them. This accounted for the de- | pleted condition.of the treasury.

Taking into con- sideration the amounts appropriated: to the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley and Western North Carolina Railroads, the levy falls nearly $240,000 short of meet- ing the appropriations. . Mr. Henderson said he was sure that if we did not accept the proposition we were ruined. There is now really a deficiency in the treasury. These appropriations cannot be continued. Then, too, the time may come when ‘there will be a de- fault in the payment of interest on bonds, and then the whole mortgage will be fore- closed and the holders of mortgage bonds will take the road. ‘Phe iron alone for the road from Asheville to Paint Rock will cost $360,000. Remarkes, partly of a conversational character, were made by several other ' gentlemen. | Aresolution was then offered by Mr. Battle, that a committee of three be ap- "| pointed to examine into the proposition of Mr. Best and report this morning. ‘This ‘failed to pass. | The board of directors of the Western ‘ North Carolina Railroad met again at the treasurer’s office Wednesday morning. All the members were present, 2s on the day before, save Mr. F. E. Shober. Soon after the board had asembled his I-xcellency Govenor Jarvis came in ard requested to be allowed to make a state- ment. His Excllency said he desired to make some remarks in reference to a statement made by Mr. Dortch on Tues- | day, and reported in yesterday’s issue of the Observer. Mr. Dortch was report- ed as saying that “it was officially stated that $30,000 had been deposited here to meet the expenses of the extra session of the Legislature. This he thought, was an outrage to North Carolina. He would scorn to take pay asa legislator save from his State.” The Governor said that either the re- porter had done Mr. Dortch an injustice, or the latter had done him (Governor Jarvis) an unitentional injustice in his remarks. Ile was as careful of the hon- or of North Carolina as any man. If such a proposition as was suggested had been made by any man he would not have listened to it, for he would have deemed it aspecies of bribery. On the 13th of January, after Mr. Best had filed his proposition which was on January 10th, he wrote Mr. Best: ‘To call the Legislature together is a grave responsi- bility, and to justify myself in so doing I must have a substantial, trangible guarantee which can be reached in this State; and for this purpose [I shall re- quire that you deposit in the Citizens’ National Bank in this city, $30,000 to be held by the bank for the following purpo- ses, and subject to the following condi- tious, pamely: First, If the Legisla- ture declines to adopt your proposition, the deposit to be immediately subject to your order. Second. If the Legislature does adopt your propositien and you fail to close the contract, or purchase, as agreed upon the Treasurer ofthe State shall apply the deposit to the payment of the expenses of the session of the Legis- lature. Third. If the proposition is adopted and closed aeeording to agreement, the deposit to remain asa further security forthe payment of the interest on the $850,000 mortgage bonds, now outstanding and which you agree to and cancelled.” The Governor further said : “The reason I requested the deposit was because after the Legislature had passed the proposition, Mr. Best might then have refused to enter into the con- tract and left us without security, with the expense of the Legislature for noth- ing, and I require it as a further security for the payment of the interest which the State has guaranteed. This was the purpose of requiring the deposit. I think Mr. Dorteh will so declare when he under- stands the facts as they are.” [The reporter was entirely correct in his report of Mr. Dortch’s remarks. } he Governor then withdrew aud the consideration of the proposition of Mr. Best was resumed. Mr. R. H: Battle, Jr., spoke to the proposi- tion. He said thathe had apprehended that there would be alittle ditference of opinion in the board as to whether the Legislature should be called together. He thought, however, that the question was one not without ‘lifficuities.

The questions for us to consider are, first, whether this bid will remain open un- ' til the next Legislature meets. Of this we , have no assurance. Then the question arises, if. we are not certain that this prop- osition may be repeated, should we not give the Legislature an opportunity to say what is to be done with the property of which that body *alene. has control, and ‘ abott- whith that body alone bas a right to | act? ‘We are not called en to decide. We stand merely'in the relation of advisers. I “have come-te the conclusion that my duty is to vote to give the Legislature an op- portunity to:decide upon the matter. Only $20,000, the amount required to pay the ex- penses of the special session, is at stake on one side, and this great interest on the oth- er. If any one at the session of the Legis- lature offers a better bid, it can then be accepted, for the Legislature has a_ perfect right to reject this proposition and accept others. We must take into consideration the wishes of the people of the State. So, inasmuch as we de not act decisively, but only to let the Legislature decide, we ought, with such amendments as we think should be inserted to guard the State's in- terests, submit the proposition to the Gover- nor and advise him to call the Legislature. Mr. Dortch said that twelve months would make but litile difference. The members of the next Legislature would come here instructed by their constitu- ents, while the present members would not be. Maj. Wilson said that Mr. Shober (who is a member of the board of directors) had. in Washington authorized him to state that he favored the proposition. Mr. Henderson offered the following resolution, which was intended as a sub- stitute for the resolution offered by Mr. Wilson : Resolved, That we recommend to his Excellency the Governor to convene the Legislature to consider the proposition of Mr. Best and associates for the purchase of the Western Morth Carolina Railroad ; that we suggest that the draft of the bill which has been submitted to us by the Governor shall be amended in some material particulars to more perfectly protect the interests of the State. On this resolution the yeas and nays were called by Mr. Dorteh. Mr, Bryson said that several very es- sential amendments should be made. The following was the vote: Yeas— Bryson, Henderson, Battle, Davidson and Wilson—5. Nays—Dortch, Brown, Pow- ell, Roberts, Richardson and Scales—6. So the motion was lost. Mr. Davidson then offered the follow- ing resolution : Resolved, That while in amajority of this board it is unadyisa- ble toeall the Legislature together to consider the proposition of Mr. Best and his asssociates, we here and now reiter- ate our determination to use all the means at our command to press the work to completion to Paint Rock and Duck- town. Mr. Davidson this action would carry among his people, who were those in North Carolina most interested in ob- taining the completion of the road, and he would be glad to carry back w ith hitn some re-assurances on this subject. He took it for granted that this would end the question of Mr. Be sU’s proposition. Mr. Bryson said that his people were willing to wait for the road to be built under the present law, if they were not afraid that the Legislature would cut them off by stepping the work. Mr. Dortch said that it was his firm im- pression that the plan of building to Paint Rock and then building the Ducktown branch would be carried ont, He wanted an ontlet. He wished the people to see that something was done. He was pure- ly unselfish in the matter, aud he acted only as a North C aro]nian. Mr. Bryson. re plied that his people would fear that the Ducktown branch of the line was to be cut off. Mr. Davidson said that the matter of the division of the work on both lines had been for twenty years a bone of eonten- tion and had been adjusted in tlle pres- ent way, which is that the force of con- the opinion of said that the news of consternation viets should be divided. Mr. Seales said he was not willing to agree to part of the resolution-—that the State should keep the read in the pos- session of the State. That depe ended on circumstances, anda proposition night be offered which would accept. We have simply opinion that the true interests of tlhe S ate would not be subserved by calling |§ the Legislature together in special ses- sion at this time. Of course, we would use all the means in our power to com- plete the road. ‘These means are given in the act of Assembly. We would be | false to our trust if we did not use them. His idea was that delay would enable us better to know the wishes of the people with regard to the disposi- tion of their own property, and won ld also give a better cliance for com petition in Lils. The resolution might be con- strued as asking the Legislyjure to add to the amount now appropriated and the means now furnished. Gen. Roberts took the same view as be advisable to expressed the i self-reliance MO.18 eee be left open for the Legislature to ¢on- sider. The Geel ates stored by Mr. Davidson was then ailopted. “ Mr. Seales then offered the following resolution : Resolved, That this board deewiee deem it necessary to-the-true interests of the State of North Caroliua, or its. west- ern portion, that the question of the.aale of the Western North Carolina Railroad should be considered in special session: ef the General Assembly ; but.on. thegcomr trary believe that these interests. will be best subserved by referzing such questiun aud all propositions te purchase, tosthe next regular session iv Januany, 1881, when the wishes of the people, .will be better known, aud the chances for com- petition much increased. Ou the passage of this the yeas and nays were called, with the following re- sult: Yeas—-Dorteh,. Powell, Brown, Roberts, Richardsou and Scales,... Nays— Bryson, Heuderson, Battle, Davidsou and Wilson. The board then proceeded to the eou- sideration of other matters. a ee Self Reliance.

OO Oe — BrokkEN Back.—The VPhiludelphia Re- cord says there is a patient in the German hospital with a broken back, a complete reparation of the spinal column, witha livog and sensible head and trunk attach- ed toadead and decomposing mass of flesh and bone. The wonder is that the man lives at all. There is no remedy for him, though itis thought he may live a month. a i oe The Republican State Convention of New York will meet at Utica on the. 25th inst. fit shall adopt the course of Pennsylvania and declare in favor of Grant and instruct its delegates to cast the full vote of the State for him, it will probably settle the yuestion as to the republican candidate in the next national contest. There is noother } Ynan in the country who will more certainly | clicit the strongest possible opposition of the Demooratic party. +” The colored republicans of Charlotte in public yneeting, denounced Dr. Mott for appoiuting some democrats in the service of his office. We think the Doctor show- ed a deal of party sharpness in_ this respect: The work of his assistants is the most unpopular service in the country, making a large class of men cttss from Ato Z To let some of these anathemas fall on Democratic men instead of wholly on the republican party was certainly not unwise, viewed as purty policy. 2 The Republicans of Peunsylvania, with Senator Cameron at their head, have se- tured the vote of the State in the national hominating convention in favor of the third-termer, Grant. There isa strong party of Republicans in Pennsylvania who are opposed to it, and denounce the Avtion as contrary to the popular will. It {x believed, however, that the efforts of this party will amount to nothing in the lung run, and that the State, manacled and securely bound, will be passed over tu the sapport of Grant. rr i tm Take IT Orr.—The conspiracy of the paper makers to run up prices of paper Very properly starts an appeal to Con- grees to take off the duty on paper and the chemicals employed in its manufac- ture. The people have a direct interest | iu subject, which is superior to that of a/| few paper makers. Indeed, the time has come When no protective tariff on any- thing should be sustained at the cost and damage of the toiling millions. Protec- tive duties have already enriched manu- facturers and created forces which endan- ger the liberties of the people, who should demand as aright that it now come to an end. > ae ScanpaL.—There is an ugly seandal re- ported in the papers concerning a num- ber of senators and representatives in Waabingtou city. They are charged with having formed a joint stock company for the purpose of facilitating their indul- kence iv the vices for which Washington has become noted. Females of highly respectable connections who have situa- tions in the Treasury and other Depart- jnents, are implicated. There are some kuuthern people involved in this dis- krace, We are sorry to say; and for the kake of example, we trust the police, now employed in ferretting out the guilty oues, may wake a sure thing in dragging all to the light. a LITTLEFIELD.~-A traveler in Florida writes to the Raleigh Mews an interesting letter trom which we clip the following concern- ing one of the carpet bayggers who under the recomstructioa system played a large part in the robbery of North Carolina. Just as we swing off from the pier at Jack- nonville startiag up the river, looking over to the right on the bluff overlooking the riy- et is the aristocratic suburbs of Jacksonville, and that splendid looking house you see there looming up above the surrounding xrove of orange, and lemons, and magnolias was once the home of Prince Milton 8S. Lit- tletield. Here erstwhile he high revelry kept, and with his handsome turnouts, stylish trappings and servants in livery, lived a life of wensyous enjoynient jn this soft Italian climate, Now broken in fortuge, bowed by tnisfortune, the glitter sone, he hides his liminished head and endures the rigors of poverty and the climate at Poughkespie on the Hudson,” Haprietr BeecHweR STowe. A little further oy we have an allusion to this notorious charaeter: A few wiles further up the river the aleamer stops a few minutes at Mandarin aud we get a view of Mra. Harriet Beech- cy Stwwe's residence, bossomed in a grove of grand old live ouks, Here amid the odors of the orange groves she finds en- durable the odors of the race whose in- avined woes she depicted so forcibly in Uncle Tom's Cabin.” " Watchman, WESTERN N, C. RAILROAD. —_— This great work has engaged a large part of the attention of the public for some weeks past from the fact that a New York Company has offered to buy it, and the State officials have been asked to call the General Assembly together to consider the proposition. The Governor felt it to be his duty under the circumstances to call a meeting of the Directors of the Road and to ask the attendance of the Internal improvement Committee. The gentle- men composing these bodies met at Ral- eigh, last week, to hear what the Govern- or had to say and to take such action in the premises as they deemed best. It was an important occasion, and the proceed- ings then had interests every tax payer in the State. All should know what was suid and what was dove, and we have therefore given a large portion of the first page of this paper, usually devoted to miscellaneous matter, in order to lay be- fore our readers the proceedings of that meeting. And we ask them to read the report with care, for the subjeet matter will yet come up for their own individual decision. Shall the State complete the Western North Carolina Railroad and en- joy its possession as a State work, or shall it be sold, and go into the hands of a par- ty who will use it for their own advan- tage, and leave the State to help herself as well as she may be able. The tax pay- ers and voters of the State will have this question to settle, and all the light they can get on it the better they will know what to do. 2 ae a Extra Sression.—Hale’s Weekly of the 17th, says—‘‘We think we may very safe- ly state now as was stated last week, that the Legislature will meet carly in March.” The extra session if cated will be for the purpose of censidering Mr. Best’s offer to purchase the Western N. C. R. R. The responsibility of calling an extra ses- sion for this purpose rests upon the Govy- ernor and his Council. It is a grave re- sponsiblity, and one which implies consc- | quences Which he cannot well avoid. If he should fail to call it and the chance of sale be lost, the people may hereafter blame him as remiss in duty. If he should call it and the Legislature refused to sell, and the cost of the extra session be added to the burdens of the people, as it will be, he will be censured for that. If the road be sold and turns out to be a bonanza in the hands of the northern owners, the democrats will be accused of fooling away the property of the state. If we fail to sell and go on taxing the people to com- plete it, the republicans will ring the charges on the faithlessness of the demo- crats when they had it in their power to relieve the people. In any case there is going to bea great deal of political fuss about the Western N.C. R. R. sold or not sold. oO FORTY-SIXTiIL CONGRESS. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—Hovuse.— Among the bills introduced were the fol- lowing: By Persons, of Georgia, admitting free of duty machinery for manufacturing cotton fabrics. By Richardson of South Carolina, to re- turn to producers of cotton, tax collected by the government, which has been de- clared by the Supreme Court to have been illegally collected. H{onse, of Tennessee, requested the President to open negotiations with cer- tain foreign governments relative to the {importation of tobacco into their domin- ions. Under a call of States the following bills Were introduced and referred. By Johnson, of Virginia, to regulate the mode of purchasing tobacco for the navy. By Hunter, of Virginia, to settle un- paid claims of the living officers of the revolutionary army who served tu the close of the war. By Baker. of Indiaua, amending the statutes prohibiting the employmet of convicts in certain manufactories. By Frost, of Maryland, to repeal eer- tain sections of the acts of 1871-72, in re- lation to the use of marshals and super- visors at the polls. By Davidson, ot Florida, to settle ac- counts between the United States and Florida. Under a call of States in the House to-day 130 bills and resolutions were in- troduced, mostly of a private nature. Among those of public interest were the following: By Richardson, of South Carolina, di- recting the refunding to the several States, of amounts of cotton tax, paid by them in 1866 and 1363, the Supreme Court having decided it was illegally collected ; said States to give a guarantee that the money will be refunded to producers of the cotton or their heirs, or in case they caunot be found to be devoted to the education of the most indigent citizen ir- respective of color. By Johnston, of Virginia, requiring to- baeco purehased for the use of the navy to be manufactured during the months of June, July and September, and passed upon by three experts to be appointed by the Secretary of the Navy. By O'Connor, of South Carolina, au- thorizing a government survey for and estimated of cost of the construction of a canal across Charleston neck, to con- nect Cooper and Ashley rivers. By Nichols, of Georgia, appropriating $5,000 fora survey of Canrochee river, With a view to its improvement. By House, of Tenuesee, requesting the President to open negotiations with France, Spats, Austria, and Italy for the removal of present restrictions on the importation of tobaceo into their ccun- tries. SENATE.—The Vice-President laid be- fure the Senate various communications from the sceretary of war, and there were presented sundry petitions and memo- rials relating to the Reagan iuter-State commerce bill, and sixty surgeons’ pen- sioa bills. Woman suffrage and government of Indian territory bills were introduced and referred as follows: , By Jones, of Florida, for settlement of accounts between the United States and the State of Florida. By Teller, to enable Indians to become citizens of the-United States. By Kirkwood, providing for compensa- tion of collectors of customs acting as superintendents of light houses. McDonald submitted resolutions pro- viding for a committee of Senators to consider bills, &c., relating to woman suffrage. Laid on the table. Rollins subinitted a resolation asking the scretary of war for information rela- tive to army officers retired from active service. Adopted. At the expiration of the morning hour the Senate resumed consideration of the bill providing for the payment to States of 5 per cent. of the value of lands loca- ted on millitary land warrants. Mr. Allison spoke in support of the bill. Pending further debate the Senate went into executive session, and when the doors were re-opened adjourned. re Were SHALL THE CONVENTION BE Hep ?—You will find all the papers that are published at points convenient to Raleigh favoring that place for the meet- ing of the State convention. They ought not to be selfish. For three-quarters of acentury the people of the remote sec- tions—east, west and south—have been paying out many dollars to mect at Ral- eigh. We think it is time there wasa change. Wilmington will be glad to have the convention, but we are not disposed to be selfish. Goldsboro or Charlotte would be good points. There are thou- sands of intelligent voters who do not fancy the political atmosphere of the State capital. There is an odor of “ring” that has gone out, and this is offensive to the rural voter. It will be wise in the State committee to select some other point—some point where the convention has never met or has not ina decade or two.— Wilmington Star. ee THe Exopus ComMitrKn.-In addition to what we stated yesterday in regard to the exodus committe we may state that the testimony so far elicited shows some facts which are of great value in disabus- ing the minds of the people of the North, about our treatment of the uegro. I. That the scheme has been a cruel imposition on the negroes for political and personal gain to its authors, and II. That the condition of people ot color in the South, in a material point of view, is better than that of hundreds of thousands of white working people in the North, IIT. That the condition of these people either social, political or material, cannot be advanced by a hegira to the North. There they are thrown in direct contact with white labor, which is superior in intelligence, and consequently more val- uable.—Char. Observer. —_—__-~<»- Ihnen Water Reportep.—Washington, Fcb. 16.—The following dispatch has been sent by the chief signal officer to observers at river stations south of Louisville: river at Cincinnati is fifty-two and a half fect above low-water mark and rising, at Louisville twenty-seven above and rising, and at Nashville forty-thres feet four inches above, but falling.” “The oe Mr. Morgan, of Icard Township, formerly of Caldwell county, sold his tobacco crop in Hickory last weck for $540. Mr. Morgan raised this tobacco on five acres and on one of the poorest farms in the county.—Dlue Ridge Blade, ee An African proverb says theidle are a pe- culiar kind of dead who cannot be buried.

Counterfeiters have becn operating about Snow Hill. The Wilson Advance says the coins made were 25 and 50 cents skillfully executed pieces. One of the parties have been arrested.

This road is generally in a passable condition, even in the werst season, and we may say that the road has almost practically reached Asheville. Wilmington Review: Mr. W. J. Best, the agent of the syndicate for the purchase of the Western North Carolina Railroad, had aconference with some of eur wealthiest and most preminet citizens on Saturday last, for the purpose of inducing them, as we un- derstand, to offer no opposition to the salé of that road. We do not kuow the argu- ments used by Mr. Best in furtherance of the scheme, but we are told that the gentle- men in question gave the agent of the cap- italis’s a respectful hearing, but no decided answer, NO CHILD WILL HAVE A.

R. first settlers in Salisbury. ~ mentioned the names of those who were li- censed to keep ordinaries or taverns in 1755-6, as Joho Ryle, John Louis Beard, Peter Arrand, Jacob’ Franck, Archibald Craige, James Bower, Thomas Bashford and Robert Gillespie. Bashford & Gilles- pie seem to have been im & copartnership, and bought up anumber of lots in the town, evidently with the view of holding them until the growth of the towa should enhance their value. In 1757 they purchased lots No, 3, 11 and 12 in the great “East Square,” from Carter and Foster, Trustces of the Township. These lots contained 144 square ES each, and on ene of them they estab- ished a village inn. Before leaving these early settlers, the reader piust have a special introduction toa few of them who played a more conspicious pzrt in public affairs. The first of thesc isa stardy German, by way of Pennsylvania, not yet naturalized. His name is - Jowx Locrs Bearp. While he lingered in Pennsylvania, Mr. Beard was married to Miss Christina Snapp, of that Province. Coming to Salisbury, he was naturalized in 1755. While many of the German settlers, unacquainted with the English language, and therefore incapable of taking part in public affairs, were con- tent to remain several years as aliens, and whose names therefore seldom appear on the Public Records. Mr. Beard, with a vig- or that characterized his after lite, immedi- ately assumed his place as an active and en- ergetic citizen. He did not at first settle within the corporate limits of the town, but opened up a farm on Crane Creck, near the Bringle’s Ferry road. He atterwards owned the lot on which the Court House now stands, aud erected a large dwelling house thereon, In 1768 Mr. Beard was be- reaved of a beloved daughter, and having laid her ina grave ona lot of his own, he one hundred and forty square poles to cer- tain Trustees of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Salisbury. These Trustees were “to erect and build thereon a church, for the only proper use and behoof of the said German Lutheran Convregation forever. He also granted in the deed the use of the church to the “Ihgh Church of England, and to the Reformed Calvin Ministers at such time as the said Lutheran minister doth not want te perform divine service in it. The “Reformed Calvin Ministers” were probably the "German Reformed,” who were Intimatcly associated with the Lutherans, often using the same building. This lot given by Mr. Beard is the one known as the “Lutheran grave yard,” on which formerly stood the Lutheran church, It is now some- times called the “Salisbury Cemetery,” and has been recently enclosed with a substan- tial brick wall by the united contributions of citizens of all denominations, Within its spacious enclosure and beneath its sombre- hued cedars, sleeps the honored dust of mul- titudes of the once active and earnest citi- zens of Salisbury. Mr. Beard left a large family of sons and daughters, whose descendants are. still among us. Another carly settler here, ap- pearing at the session of the first Court, in June 1753, was JOIN DENN, ESQ, This gentleman, a native of Ireland, born at Waterford, and on his mother’s side connect- ed with the Erskine family, He wasa young- er brother and was early sent to Oxford Uni- versity, that he might prepare himself to carve out his own fortune. When he was about twenty years of aye he left Oxford, and emigrated to America, Innding in Charleston, 8. C. 9 After a brief residence there he came to Salisbury, where he spent the remainder of his life. He became in 1753 clerk of the court of Pleas and Quar- ter Sessions, which office he held until he became a licensed lawyer in 1755. Tis res- idence in Salisbury was on the corner of In- nes and Church Streets, on the lot now oc- cupied by Mr. P. B. Meroney, After the style of these days, the house was built as close to the street as possible. Here the writer saw a frecdman, a few days ago, throw up pieces of old bricks, as he was digging out a place to plant a sycamore tree in—doubtless, the debris of John Dunn's family residence, or perhaps the foundations of his law office. There 13 also a deed on Record, from Earl Granville, to John Dunn, dated June 10th 1758, for 470 acres of land on the South branch of Middle Crane Creek, adjoining the lands of John Brandon. He Carter & Foster, in 1755. He was also the owner of a large tract of land, including Dunn's Mountain, where he made his home after the Revolutionary war. WiLiraM TEMPLE COLES, was another of the early settlers in Salis- bury. He was a native of Dublin, Ireland, and was related to the Temple family. In Salisbury he was the proprietor, or keeper ot a Tavern, situated on the corner of Cor- bin and Innes streets, where Kluttz’s Drug- store now stands—the same property that Paul Barringer purchased from Magoune in 1768. Hewas a Free-mason as he recerds himself. His will, still on file in the Regis- ter’ottice, is something of a curiosity. He bequeaths to his wife, Sarah, four lots in the town of Salisbury—her choice from all his Salisbury lots. Ie leaves to his son, Wil- ham Temple Coles, Jr. “the whole Town of Salisbury,” as conveyed to him by Foster, a former Trustee. His furniture he left to his daughter Ilenrietta Coles. He bequeathed a half acre of ground in the Seuth Square of Salisbury for a burying ground, one half of it to the Freemasons, and one half to the citizens. This lot lay where the North Car- elina Rail Road track now is, where the Bank street bridge crosses the said road. It is remembered, that when the “cut” forthe Road was made many human bones were exposed. By what means the right of the citizens and of the Freemasons to said lot passed away we know not. Ncither do we know exactly what claims Mr. Coles had to the “whole Town of Salisbury. And what became of William Temple Coles, Jr., or IIenrictta Coles, or where the elder Coles was buricd, are questions more casily ask- ed than answered. Thongh not permament residents of the county ot Rowan the names of James Innes and Francis Corbin were very “famillar in bury. These were Earl Granville’s Land Agents, and had in their hands the whole disposal of the lands in the Earl's vast es- tate. Mosely and Holten were the first Agents, and after them Childs and Corbin. Hillsboro was first called Childsburg after one of these agents. Upon the remeval of Childs, the Agents were Corbin and Innes. These gentlemen had an office on the corner of Innes and Church Streets, where the foun- tain in Mr. R. J. Holmes’ yard now is, in clese proximity to John Dunn’s law office. Francis Corbin was a citizen of Chowan, and resided a few miles from Edenton. He is represented as an extortioner, charging exorbitant fees for his official acts. At one time ten or fifteen men of Halifax county arrested him and compelled him to give a bond that he would produce his books and return all money received by him above his proper fees. Instead of dojng this he com- mencced a suit against the rioters, and some made, the same year, a title to said lot of purchased lot No 5, in the East square, of el aaa - them were. lod ut on the next the ors were broken gen and the Seale tcacchea. Corbin thén thought fit to discontinue the suit and pay costs. James Innes was a citizen of Wilmi in tiie Enfield goal: and a baron of the courtof Exchequer there. He was associated with Corbin in the Salis- bury land-office, and one of the principal streets was named afterhim. But even mere ‘prominent among our people were two broth- ers, who probably came to this county along with Francis Corbin from Halifax or Eden- ton. There names were Joun and Tuomas Fronock. The name of Joun Frouock, in beautiful round hand appears as*Court Clerk” on the Records as early as 1756, and for a number of years after the large volumes of land ti- tles of various kinds are recorded in the same beautiful hand, and authenticated un- his signture. Step by step he grew very wealthy, chiefly, it would appear, by enter- ing and selling public lands. The books are largely filled by conveyances either to him or from him. In his will, dated 1768, and proved in 1772, there are named thous- ands of acres of land in Rowan County, in the forks of the Yadkin, near Salisburv, on Saxapahaw, on Tar River and in Virginia, bequeathed by him to bis two brothers, Thomas and William Frohock, besides thirty or farty slaves, one of which he liber- ated at death. He was once the owner of the lot on which the Watchman office and and Crawford’s Hardware store now stands, and in a transfer of said lot between Jobn Frohock and William Temple Coles, the street now called ‘Fisher strect,” is called Temple Street.” He mentions neither wife nor child in his will, and it is presamed that he was not married. ‘Besides the kind- ness shown in the education and liberation of his boy servant, Absalom, he expressly enjoins that his debtors should not be op- pressed or sued, but ample time given to them to pay their debts to his Executors. His brother William does not appear to have resided here, but had his home in Haxlifax, though one of his daughters married and settled in the vicinity of Salisbury. Tiuiomas FROHOCK resided on what has been known as the McCay place, and inherited the mill and the lands adjoining from his brother Jolin Frohock, who was probably the builder, certainly the owner of the Mill, and of all the lands lying between the Town and Grant’s creek. Dr. Caruthers designates Thomas Fro- hock asa “bachelor,” but the evidence of his will is to the contrary. ‘His will in 1794, leaves his property to his son, Alexander Frohock, and to his daughter Fiizabeth, who was married to Charles Hunt, a merchant of Salisbury. ‘There are two or three items of his history of peculiar interest. The first is that he gave to the town the lot now known as the,“English Grave Yard,” or “Oak Grove Cemetery,” and the School House lot immediately in front. The — oldest stone in this yard is that of Capt. Daniel Little, who died in 1775, and was laidgpeacefully to rest just as the stormy days of the Revolutionary war were com- ing on. In this place, it is said that some of Gates’ soldiers, after the battle of Cam- den, wounded there, or worn ont in their tlight, were buried. And here were inter- red some of the British soldiers, who died in 1781 during the time that Cornwallis occupied Salisbury. The grave yard lay unenclosed, until about 50 years ago, when William Gay, the father of the late Mrs Mary Brown, left a legacy for that purpose. With the proceeds a wooden paling er plank fence was put around it, and renewed from time to antil in) 185- the present substantial granite wall was erected by the voluntary contributions of the citizens of this ‘Town. Another matter mentioned by Camthers in his Life of Caldwell (page 114) is that “Thomas Frohock in Salisbary aud Ed- mund Fanuing in Hillsboro were Clerks of the Superior Courts in their respect- ive counties, and had become exceeding- ly obnoxicus to the people by their ex- tortions.” * * * “It is said that Fro- hoek charged $15 for a marriage license ; and the consequence was that some of the inhabitants on the head waters of the Yadkin took a short cut. They took each other for better or for worse ; and con- sidered themselves as married without any further ceremony.” In his last will Thomas Frohock enjoins upon bis execu- tors to pay all his just debts of ander three years standing, but to plead the “statute of limitation,” upon all claims older than that, whenever they could. A constant tradition represents that Thos. Frohock lies buried in an unmarked grave, on the hillside within two hundred yards of MeCoy’s—once Frehock’s—mill, It is now one hundred years since these old citizens, Dunn, Beard, Coles, Corbin, Innes, John and Thomas Frohock lived and acted their part in the ancient Town- ship of Salisbury. Now their names are uever heard except asthe antiquarian rummages among the dusty records of a by-gone generation, or questions some old citizen whose memory is stored with the traditions of the past. The places that knew them once will know them no more forever. ————__ +.» ——___———- Eagle Mills Letter. Mr. Epitor: There appeared in the columns of the Watchman, some weeks ago, anarticle clipped from the States- ville Landmark concering a project gotten up by Dr. J. W. Ellis, of this Township, to navigate Hunting Creek. Since that time the Doctor has been experimenting with his little boat which he built for that purpose. The bull is 22 feet long (rudder in front), and driven by a stern wheel and a 2 horse-power, reversible cngine. He, with a party of ladies aud gentlemen, made an excursion trip down the creck and back a few days ago and claims that it is the first sailing ever done in West- ern North Carolina on # steam boat. ‘The Doctor is enthusiastic on the subject of navigating the ereek and South River to the proposed Mooresville, Winston and Salem railroad bridge across that riyer ; and says he can take ten hands, and in one month do all the cleaning out of the stream necessary to make it navigabic. He believes he can run fais little boat with 80 or 100 Ibs. steam and make, with 1,200 or 1,500 lbs. of freight, 24 miles per hour up stream; and carry 2,500 or 3,000 : ‘down stream at the rate of 6 miles per the days of the early settlement of Salis | hour. He is satisfied the stream can be made navigable for all practicable pur- poses, and will connect with the Moores- ville W & S. Railroad at the bridge when the trains reach that point. We need more such men as the Doctor to push im- provements. Eco. awe The Governor of New York has signed the bill admitting women to vote for school officers.

In New York, Saturday, a long strip of iron rail forced its way endwise through a streetcar on the Fourth aevnue line filled with passengers, crushing throagh a thin seat, penetrating the thigh of Mr. Samuel Glover, a merchant, of Fairfield, Conn., and passing on, lodged agaiust the end of the ear, the car was brought toa stand still. The strip of iron was in such a position that Mr. Glover, who had be- come almost unconscious from the agony he was suffering was literally nailed to his seat. A police oflicer came up, and, procuring axes and saws, with the assis- tance of several of the passengers, cut away the rear end of the car to release Mr. Glover. After fifteen minutes’ hard work the rail was released from its lodg- ment, but still the unfortunate passenger could not be released. With a penknife the officer managed to cut away the lace- rated flesh of Mr. Glover's thigh to re- lease him. A hack was procured, and he was taken to Ashland House, where he was stopping. Physicians were sent for and pronounced his injuries execedingly serious. —~-@- A Mysterious PAarIntTinG.— Not 100 miles below Nasbvilleis a curious specta- known as the “Sun and Moon.” It cousists of a painting upon an immense rock which rises to an altitude of several hundred feet. As to who painted itis a mystery which was never unravelled. Many thiuk it was the work of the red brother, centuries ago perhaps. But there the sun and the moon shine out in all the freshness of new paint. ‘They are located midway the cliff, and) stand out in bold) relicf. As to how any human being ever reached the spot is a question which has never been solyed. It is sup- posed that in those days they had no giant ladders, could not easily have reached the point from below. The only natural rope of that time was a wild grape- vine, of which Tennessee is so prolitic, and some Indian might have been by this means let down over the dizzy cliff, and when he had finished his work had'’again been let down or pulled up. At any rate these pictures are there on the everlast- ing rock, and are likely .to remain for future ages. cle —— ~ -@- e Telegraphic Progress Last Year. Last year was remarkable not only for its increase in the miles of railroad track laid, and for the extensive relaying of old tracks, which the period of business de- pression had kept too long in’ use, but also for the great amouut ef wire aud wire cable consumed in the laying of land and subinarine telegraph lines. A great addition was made to the num- ber of miles of submarine cables laid and the repairs and replacing of old cables went on ata rapid rate. Ofthe new cables, the most important was the At- lantic cable, laid for the French company from Brest to St. Pierre and on to Cape Cod, with a branch from St. Pierre to Canada. Another vast undertaking was that of laying the Submarine cable from Durban to Aden, in Africa, in all 3,841 nautical miles. A duplicate cable was also laid from Penang to the island of Java, 1,310 miles in length, and the same company are now extending the line 1,180 miles further, to Port Darwin. A cable 600 miles long has -also been laid for the French government from Marscil- les to Algiers. Another 147 miles long, has been laid across the Caspian Sea, for the Russian government. The Spanish government has laid a cable between Spain and the Balearic Islauds, fifty-six miles. The Danish government has also used fifty-two miles of submarine tele- graphic cable. Another feature ef ocean telegraphic progress has been the great inerease in the duplexing of submarine cable circuits. The Anglo-American Company have duplexed their 1874 cable, and the appa- ratus for 80 wultiplying the efficiency of the 1873 cable has arrived at the stations. The Direct Cable Company are also try- ing experimentally the duplex system, which, in the case of the 1874 cable of the Anglo-American Company has increased the carrying capacity eighty per cent. since it was applied last March. Mcean- time, we have seen the progress of re- pairs and the substitution of new for old, cables in une waters of the West Indies, along the coast of Brazil, and in the At- lantic submarine lines.

The organist seeing a man on top of the organ, and supposing him to bea tramp, summoned assistance, when Pierce was routed out. His hair had grown so long that it rested on his shoul- ders, and his face was covered with a beard, which gave him a wild look. An examination revealed that Peirce had Seen living in the chureh for some time, that he hada bed on top of the organ, aud that he had also occupied the attic. A tub of butter, that some weeks since was stolen from a store, was fouand where Peirce had concealed it, a portion of which he had used. Ie had also a lot of canned meats, preserves and other eatables. Since being taken from the church he will not give any information of where he has been or how he managed to remain so long in the vicinity without being discovered sooner. He is now cared for by his friends.—Springfield Re- publican. TEAS IS nt At James Vatterson’s in Rowan Co. N. C., Feb. 5th 1830, by the Rev. W. I. Cone, Mr. William D. Bostian and Miss Susan E.

SPURGEON, IV. Men Who are Down, No man’s lot is fully known till he ja dead, change of fortune is tne lot of jife. He who rides in the carriage may yet have to clean it. Sawyers vhange places, and he who is up the loft may have to take his turn in the pit. In less than a thousand years we shall all be bald and poor too, and who knows what we may have to do pefore that? The thought that we wurselves may be one day under the window should make us careful when we are throwing out dirty water.— With what measure we mete it shall he measured to us again, and there- fore let us look well to our dealings with the unfortunate. Nothing makes me more sick of hu- man nature than to see the way in which men treat others when they fall | down the ladder of fortune. “Down | with him,” they cry; “he always was good fur nothing.” Dog won’t eat dog, but men will pat each other up like canibals, and boast of it too. There are thousands jn this world who fly like vultures to | Bible, and loves his Lord, and there- a stone where there is,a heap already; all the cooks baste the fat pig, atid tHe lean one gets burned. “In times of prosperity friends will be plenty ; . In times of adversity not one in twenty.” When the wind serves, all aid.— While the pot boils, friendship blooms.. But flatterers haunt not cottages, and the faded rose no suitor knows. All the neighbors are cousins to the rich man, but the poor man’s brother does not know him. When we have aewe and a lamb, every one cries, “‘welcome Peter!” The squire can be heard for half a mile, if he only whispers, but Widow Needy is not beard across the park railings, let her call as she nay. Men willingly pour water into a full tub, and gives feasts to those who are not hungry, because they look to have as good or better in return, Have a goose and get a goose. Have a herse of your own, and then yow can borrow one. It is safe to lend barley where the barn is full of wheat, but who lends or gives where there’s none? Who, indeed, unless it be some anti- quated vid soul who believes in his fore gives, hoping for nothing again ?” I have noticed certain gentry who pretended to be great friends to a fall- ing man because there are scme few pickings yet to be got off his bones. The lawyer and the money lender will cover the poor fellow with their wings, feed on a tradesman or a merchant as soon as ever he gets into trouble.— | Where the carcass is thither will the eagles be gathered together. Instead ofa little help, they give the sinking man a great deal of cruelty, and cry, Serves him right!” All the world will beat the man whom fortune buf- fets. If Providence smites him, all men’s whips begin to crack, The dog ja drowning, therefore all his friends empty their buckets over him. The tree has fallen, and everybody runs for his hatchet. The house is on fire and all the neighbors warm them- selves. The man has ill-luck, there- fore his friends give him ill usage; he has tumbled into the road, and they drive their carts over him; he is down and selfishness cries, “Let him he kept down, then there will be the more room for those who are up.” How aggravating it is when those who knock you down, kick you for not standing up! It is not very pleas- ant to hear that you have been a great fool, and there were fifty ways at least vf keeping out of your difficulty, only you had not the sense to see them. You ought not to have lost the game; even Tom fool can sce whether you made a bad “He ought to have locked the stable door ;” every- body can see that, but nobody offers to buy the loser a new nag. “What a pity he went so far on the ice!” That’s very true, but that wont save the poor fellow from drowning. When a man’s coat is threadbare, it isan easy thing to pick a hole in it. poor food for a hungry family, and move. Good advice is Lend me a bit of string to tie up the traces, and find fanlt with my old harness when I get home. old horse to a few oats, and then tell him to mend his pace. Teel for me, and I shall be much obliged to you, but mind you feel in your pocket, or else a fig for vour feeling. Mast men who go down hill meet with Judas before they get to the bot- fom. Those whom they help in their better days generally forget the debt, pr repay it with unkindness. The young sucker runs away with the sap from the mother tree. ‘The foal drains his mother and then kicks her. The old saying is, “I taught you to swim, and now you would drown me,” and Many a time it comes true. The dog wags his tail till he gets the bone, and then he snaps and bites at the man who fed him. Eaten bread is forgot- ten, and the hand that gave it is de- apiecd, The candle lights others and is burned away itself. For the most part, nothing is more easily blotted put than a goad turn, Every one for himself is the world’s golden rule, und we all know who takes the hind- most. The fox looks out for his own skin, and has no idea of loosing his | brush out of gratitude to a friend, | A noble spirit always takes the side of the weak, but noble spirits do. pot often ride along our roads ; they | Help my ure as scarce as eagles; you can get magpies, and hawks, and kites, by ‘and then peck at him with their bills ‘till there’s nothing left. When those folks are very polite and considerate, poor men had better beware. It was not a good sign when the walk into the hen-roost and said, “Good morning to you all, my very dear friends.” fox Down men, however, must not de. spair, for God is yet alive, and He is the friend of the friendless. If there be no one else found to hold outa hand to him who has fallen;the Lord’s hand shall not fail to bring deliver- ance to those who trust Him. A good man may be put in the fire, but he cannot be burned. His hope may be drenched, but not drowned. He plucks up courage and set a stout heart toa stiff hill, and gets over rough ground where others lie down and die. While there’s life there’s hope. Therefore, my friend, if you’ve tumbled off the back of prosperity, John Ploughman bids you not to lie in the ditch, but up with you and try again. Jonah went to the bottom of the sea, but he got to shore again all the better fur his watery journey. “Though the bird’s in the net, It may get away yet; Though Pm down in the dust, In my God T will trust, I will hope in him still, And leave all to his will; For He'll surely appear, And will banish my fear.” ————~.-—____——- What Makes Hard Times with seme People. We recently paid a visit to the home of our boyhood in a beautiful interior New England. Thirty years have passed since we therefrom to battle with the We found the same cry as here, “Hard times ; want of money.” valley of went world. We presume it was so in the olden time and always will be, simply because of the want of the public for things just a little beyond their ready reach. People exert themselves to get on without, and thus strain their purses. A little comparison of things as they were in that vicinity forty years ago and now, may do no harm: We see a child’s carriage of inge- nious construction and superior work- manship ; an elaborate and expensive top shields the occupant from the rays of the sun, and the nicely-ad- justed springs overcome the inequali- ties of the road. All very nice, very comfortable, also very expensive— that earriage cost at least twenty-five dollars. Very likely the carriage fur the father of the child who rides in this one was of far diff- erent construction. The wheels, of which there were probably only two, were solid, cut from plank, and the body, a rough box—cost, all told, per- haps a dollar and a half. provided And now we are on the subject of carriages, let us look at larger ones. In the olden time the lumber box wagon, without springs, served to carry its owner and family to mill, to the score, hut the noble breed you flon’t see once in alifetima. Did you, ever hear the crows read the burial | service over a dead sheep before they | eat it? Well, that’s wonderfully like | the neighbors crying, “What a pity ! How did it happen? Oh, dear! Oh, dear!” and then falling to work to get each of them a share of the plunder. | Most people will help those who do pot necd it ; and every traveler throws the pleton to an animal that could market and to meeting. A pleasure wagon was a novelty and a car- riage with top seldom seen. Now the lumber wagon is kept only for heavy work on the farm ; the market wagon is as easy as a coach, and phetons and carriages abound. To draw these diff- erent horses are required. Old Dob- bin is.not fit to use'on the road, and it would not answer at all to “tackle” on saga ee ee an oe not make ten miles in an hour with- out urging. ’ “2 I will notéven guess at the difference | in value of tlie hoveses and wagons in the township between now and forty years ago. And this is notall. Fine horses are expensive to keep, require fine harness, and besides that, ‘tinte’ta use them. Leaving this subject, Jet us take a} look in the country store where we used to think every necessary thing was kept for sale, and see there many articles we never saw hefore leaving home; articles of luxury merely; they cannot be necssaries, because in former times they were not to be had and people lived very comfortably without them. Articles of dress, of household adornment, of food ; arti- ‘cles that. would come. under neither of these departments are there displayed and sold. There is alsoa difference in the furniture and furnishing of the hous- es and in the dresses of the inmates, that is notable. But says one: “Do you object toany or all of these things? Is it not well for all people to surround themselves with as many comforts as possible ?”’ Most certain- ly I do not object, and should be very glad to see every one in possession of all the comforts he can wish for; but I would remind him of the old say- ing: “You cannot eat your cake and keep it.” The truth about it is that this talk of “hard times’? comes, not because there is not more money earned and received by the people at large to-day than formerly, but because it is more! readily spent now than then, and for wants, not needs, and our crease correspondingly to what we see others about us have. Franklin said truly: “The eyes of other people are the eyes that ruin us. If all but my- -elf were blind, I should want neith-| er fine clothes, fine houses nor fine, furniture.”—L. A. Roberts, in Rural World. wants in- a Rumor from Vienna is to the effet that the Czar of Russia is at times! quite insane. He has enough on his conscience to drive any man_ to sui- cide or insanity. Then there are the sleepless Nihilists who are thirsting for his blood. “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” — Wil. Star. The Richmoud (Va.) Dispatch comes to the conclusion that there can no longer be any reason to donbt that Gen. Mahone, United States Senator elect from that State, is in favor of, forming in Virginia, an electoral tick- et, which shall be pledged to no par- ty, and to no particular candidate for the Presidency. ee ee European Wotves.—That the ravages of wolves in the settled coun- tries of Europe should exceed any- thing of the sort in our western wilds is a little curious. ‘he Pesther Lloyd mentions several cases of depre- dations by wolves. In the suburbs of Temesvar they destroyed any animal which was not housed. A clergy- man returning ina sledge from a neighboring town was beset by a pack of wolves and torn to pieces, and at Szalouta, a shepherd was killed and eaten as he was passing along the road at night. Mr. Edward J. Hale writes to Hale’s Weekly concerning a new pub- lication of E. J. Hale & Son, as fol- lows : “The rapid receipt of advance or- ders for “Ihe Master of Red Leat? in- duces me to hope that it will be our most successful book, (always except- ing ‘Stephen’s History of the United States.’) Among these orders is one received this week from a distant city for five hundred copies. ‘This justified the printing of a second edition, even before the first was fully off the press. The author is Mrs, E. E. Merriwether, of Memphis, Tenn., the wife of a dis- tinguished lawyer of that city.” Se THE RoBery oF $125,000 IN A SaTCHEL.—New York, Feb. 6.—An old man named Kendeth Albro, who came here Saturday trom Texas, where he is reported to have been ex- tensively engaged in cattle raising, was robbed of his satchel containing $125,000 in registered United Statcs bends while assc2nding the steps of the sub-Treasury.

New North Carolina four per cent bonds nd {Wo points in New York last week, re now quoted at 70 bid, 73 asked.— Hale’ ¥ 8 eekly, spe carolina Watchman, | BY ANNA MASON, I, ‘Kitty, my dear,’ said George Heith, gazing fondly at his pretty little wife ; ‘you’ve often heard me speak of my friend Will Howard! I: haven’t seen him since I’ve been a married man, and now he’s coming to pay us a visit and to become acquainted with my precious little wife.’ ‘Indeed !’ responded Mrs. Kitty, elevating her eyebrows, while her dimples gave emphasis to hee words. ‘When will this best beloved chum of yours arrive ?” ‘In time for our Thanksgiving din- ner, dearest, probably the evening before.’ Here ‘George Heith paused and took a deliberate and comprehensive survey of Kitty, as if he’d never seen her before and was determined to im- press the lovely image on the inner vision of memory. Then he added: ‘To my way of thinking, you’re sufficiently pretty, Kitty, without all those gewgaws and gimeracks in which your feminine soul seems to de- light. Id like to see you try ‘sweet simplicity’ for once.’ ‘Perhaps I will, dear, just to please you,’ assented Mrs. Kitty, prettily and demurely. ‘Does your friend share your weakness for that style ?’ ‘I really don’t know,’ replied Mr. Heith, with a smile. ‘He used to laugh at me and say I might as well attempt to make the Ethiopian to change his skin, or the leopard his his spots, as to endeavor to revolu- tionize a woman’s dress, or induce her to walk in defiance of the fashion. ‘Very foolish of you to waste so much time on so vain an effort, then,’ remarked Mrs. Kitty, with a gay Tit- tle laugh. ‘You’ll succeed ‘when riv- ers run up hill! Now George and Kitty were as loving and devoted a couple as ever walked contentedly through life side by side; and this modest little home, under Mrs. Kitty’s skillful manage- ment, was a perfect paradise on earth. So thought her husband, and he was inever tired of praising his young | wife’s clever housekeeping. But George Heith had a hobby, which to Kitty, fond of ‘outward adorning,’ was extremely annoying; he was never weary of ridiculing the folly of women in dress. It must be admitted that our heroine took a deep delight in “plaiting the hair, and wearing gold,’ also in ‘the putting on of apparel.’ It may then be readily imagined that while arranging her hair in puffs and frizzes, assisting nature by the addition of sundry artificial braids aud curls, it was not pleasant to have her critical husband lecturing her and throwing at her head, so to speak, in- controvertible quotations from that severe Apostle Peter, showing his profound contempt for “broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.’ at the gilded butterflies, the coquettish bows, the bits of feather and jet which she delighted to place artistically in her hair. Overskirts, he spoke of as ‘an abomination and a wicked waste ‘of goods, while as for flounces and _tuftles, he had no patience! ‘You'd lowk better my eyes, | Kitty,’ he would frequently say, ‘with in your hair plainly and smoothly comb- led back from your face and twisted jinto asimple knot behind. We're losing our Republican simplicity ! Six yards of goods is enough to make any woman a dress; it’s as much as our grandmothers required. A calico dress, clean and whole, is good enough to be worn at any place!’ Then the cruel fellow had made fun of her shoes; her dear little thin-soled rosetted slippers, and her exquisite brenze boots with their fearful and wonderful heels. ‘A good calfskin shoe made high, with think soles, and no heels at all, would be mach more sensible !’ | O, you my feminine readers! weré not such speeches as these enough te try the patience of a saint? | Mr. George Heith was in the habit of-attering such sentiments daily, ina dictatorial, dogmatic manner, as if it could hold two opinions on such a subject. He wasn’t more than half aware of how much he did say, norof how received his lectures with pouts, laugh- ter or blushes, as the case might be. ¥et io his heart, he was really proud of his wife’s elegant and lady- highly indignant at any one else who should venture to call her taste and judgment in dress into question. But Mrs. Kitty didn’t know all this how to effect a cure. Now she saw an opportunity ®&r carrying out a naugh- | ty plot. i It was the day before Thanksgiving, andl Mrs. Kitty had been very busy compounding goodies and dainties for the morrow. She had put her small | house in exquisite order, while as a special compliment to the expected guesta basket of fragrant flowers adorn- ed the ‘spare room.’ George had seen and admired all these arrangements, and Kitty had stolen out to the gate with him fora parting kiss, as he was about to start for his drive to the depot, promising him sweetly—the dreadful little hy- pocrite!—to be all dressed, and to | have a charming supper in readiness, when he should return with Mr. Howard. No sooner was her poor unsuspi- cious husband off, than Mrs. Kitty, in great glee, flew to her room and be- gun to dress. Down came her pretty hair! Every false bit was tucked into a box fra- grant with the intoxicating sweetness of sandal-woud. Her own she brush- ed until it shone like satin, then gath- ered it tightly back from her face and screwed it into the ugliest possible little knot behind. Pulling out her earrings she found the prim effect all that her mischievous heart could de- sire. Next her small feet were encased exactly as her husband had so often and so eloquently described. She slipped on a calico dress really made from six yards of goods, straight in the waist, with long tight sleeves, and a skirt short and scant, guiltless of a ruffle. (Indeed, it would seem Mrs. Kitty was reserving all ruffles fur her hus- band’s temper.) She completed this costume in as- suming a narrow linen collar, then stood gazing and laughing at herself in the mirror. She did not Iook alto- gether hideous, for a fine figure, regu- lar features, and soft warm coloring would assert themselves. Kitty ran merrily down stairs, com- pleted supper arrangements, and scat- ed herself in the window for her husband and her expected guest. Yes, there they were, coming up the road! Bravo ! Mrs. Kitty. She to watch Then, too, how George would meena ran to the dvor to mect them. George’s look of consternation when his eye fell on her was simply ludi- crous. Wicked Mrs. Kitty was per- fectly self-possessed, and greeted Mr. Howard most cordially. Then with the ‘light foot of a fairy,’ she flew about, here, there, everywhere, on hospitable thoughts intent, and the newly arrived guest watched her with an amused smile. Supper was delicately served, and would have been a complete success had not George sat glum as the skele- ton at the banquet. The expression of his face was lugubrious ; his natural talkativenesss strangely subdued. _ Early in the evening Mrs. Kitty excused herself and retired, leaving the gentlemen to talk over old times, and to enjoy a quiet smoke. At first the conversation was harmless and commonplace enough ; but at last it veered around to Mrs. Kitty’s sweet little self. Mr. Howard felt called upon to speak to George of his wife. ‘She’s acharming woman!’ he said, warmily. Then added, with an em- barrassing laugh. ‘By the by, Heith, I see you’ve succeeded in finding one you can induce to carry out your |E | like appearance, and admired the skill ' and ingenuity which could make a| little go so far, and would have been | in a pair of calfskin shoes made | eccentric lectures used to amuse us ‘fellows at college?

After all, your ideas were not so bad. an isn’t a8 pretty as your wife, though, old boy, and, by Jove! not. many could ‘stand that sort of thing !’ _ ‘Will,’ replied George, solemnly, ‘my wife never dressed like that in all her life before. She must have done it to punish ‘nie’ “he added, looking ludicrously like a big naughty whip- ped boy. ‘I’ve worried the poor child soll, and begsher pardon!” Will Howard stared at him silently for a moment, then as the joke be- came clearer to him he burst into a peal of laughter, in which poor George was fain to join. Mrs. Kitty in her room above, hear- ing the merry cachinnation, smiled knowingly to herself. George did ‘own up sold,’ and his wife accepted his apologies graciously begging his pardon for the naughty way in which she had punished him, ‘Kitty,’ was his only reply, ‘never make such a guy of yourself again.’ Thanksgiving dinner was a grand affair. Mrs. Kitty presided, arrayed inan exquisitely fitted silk dress adorn- ed by a lace fichu. She wore an elab- orate chain and locket, long earrings and other ornaments. Her hair was frizzed, curled, puffed and braided to its usual dimensions. George thought he had never seen her look more charming, and was delighted with his friend’s evident ad- miration. As for Mrs. Kitty, she remark- ed demurely ‘that she found she could) be unusually sincere in her thanksgivings that day, as George was cured of his only fault.’ aE SAE TD NEWS FEMS. pipe em oe ne ee The Monroe Enquirer carnestly advo- cate the nomination of Judge Fowle for Governor, The Nebern Democrat wishes Governor Jarvis re-eleeted, and the Washington Press hopes that Judge Fowle will be the next Governor.

Dubin, Feb. 14. —The unemployed la- borers of this city had another demon- stration to-day. In their speaches they declared that they were on the brink of starvation. The following statistics are gathered from the office of the cullector of internal revenue: During the month of January there were seized: 15 stills and fixtures ; 24,500 gallons of beer; 197 gallons of singlings; 877 gallons of whiskey; 1 horse and wagon. ‘Total collections for the month, $46,372,23.

People in China are not only allowed to commit suicide, but they even advertise their determination beforehand, stating when and where they intend to effect their purpose. At least .the Foochow Herald tells of a young widow whe had promised to hang herself at a certain spot on the 16th of Jast month rather than yield to the wishes of “her inhuman par- ents,” and marry again. The sacrifice was consummated in broad daylight. Tlie girl “duly hanged herself in the presence of an assembled erowd of friends and admiers. The tragic ceremeny was preceeded by a reception of visitors on a platform erected ‘for the occasion, after which the poor young creature mounted achair, placed the rope round her slim neck, and bidding a final adieu to this very sensible theories on the subject of a lady’s dress.

Rucker, of the ninth cavalry, after following the In- dians in the direction of San Andrews, came | suddenly upon them strongly fortified in a | narrow, rough cannon. The troops were | received with a heavy fire, and several men and horses fell. The Indians charged the ' troops, who gaye way and retreated pell- imell. The Indians drove them across the | river, they abandoning rations and bedding, which were secured by the Indians. - ope Loss or LirE BY THE StorM.—Cincin- nati, February 14.—Reports from Tennes- see, Kentucky and West Virginia, show ‘that great rain and wind storms passed | over those States Thursday night and | yesterday, washing away bridges and do- ing great damage to growing crops and other property. The Ohio river has risen rapidly at Frankfort, Ky. The lower part of the city was flooded last night, and it was expected the water wonld be in the State House yard before morning. At Maytield a family of nine persons was , drowned while trying to escape from their | house which was surrounded by water. ——__~.- | Wonrtn REMEMBERING.—Somebody, giv- ing good advice in the Parisian to young men who go into seciety, says: “Never wound an ugly woman; and above all, ifan ugly woman comes and says to you, “I know I am not pretty,” do not fall into the trap andreply: “True, madam; but you have moral qualities and domestic virtues which I place above the perishable advantages of beauty.” I was eighteen years of age when I made this answer, worthy of Telemachus, to the wife of a banker whose protection I was seeking. The next day the lady said to her husband: “I hope the young scamp you presented to me yesterday is not going to be a frequent visitor here.” aaa ge Looking Towarp A MONARCHY.— That devout and holy man, the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, has raised his cla- rion voice in favor of the third term and Gen, Grant. Ata meeting of the Lin- coln Chib—a club that execrates the name of Lincoln —on Thursday evening, Mr. Beecher said : “What we want in our Government is stability and continuity. It isa point of weakness that our President holds office evly four years and it occasions unneces- sary disturbance of our affairs through- out the whole country.” Yes, Mr. Beecher, it may be unnecesaa- ry for those who prefer ease to freedom. But it was a kind of disturbance of which Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Jackson thought favorably. Mr. Beecher is a popular advocate of wonderfal talent, but we hope to see the American people frown upon his atrocious political doctrines. er ey ar Tus Cominc Census.—The penalties for obstructing the census takers, who begin theirlabors on the first Monday in June, are severe. ‘The law says: All persons above the age of twenty-one years who shall refuse to furnish the in- formation required by the supervisor or enumerator shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding $100, to be recovered in an action of debt. Presidents, directors or other officials of private corporations who refuse to furnish information reqait- ed of them are made liable to a penalty not to exceed $1,000. Only two weeks are allowed fer the completion of the census. The compensation of the enu- merators are as follows: Two cents for each living inhabitant; twocents for each death reported ; ten cents for each farm ; fifteen cents for each manufactory, which is to be in full for all services, and no mileage or traveling expenses. The subdivision assigned to each enumerator must not exceed 4,000 inhabitants. DREAMY AND SCATTERING.—There is still scattering talk about North Carolina or Florida, or Virginia, or some other Sonthern States being carried by the Re- publicans next fall. Vain delusion — Cleveland Herald, Calnovn’s Waren A grandson and namesake of the statesman John C. Calhoun is keeping a saloon in St. Louis. He tends his own bar, A brother of his has.a law office opposite to Ben Hill's office in Atlanta, Ga. The St. Louis saloon-keeper has a watch which belonged ‘to the great states- man. It is of the old-fashion, open-faced Kind, in gold cases, made in Liverpool and weighing six ounces, On ane side of the cases is an engraving of a dog chasing a go | rabit, and on the inside arethe words “John C. Calhoun, born (8. C.) March 13, 1789. Died, Washington City, D. C., March 31, 1850.” DeaTH oF THE LIGHTNING Proor Reaper.—John C. Robinson, well known as the “lightning proof reader,” was found dead in bed at his residence in Williams- barg, N. Y., Wednesday morning. For many years he was a proof reader on the New York Tribune. In deciphering man- uscripts he was a marvel. He read Rich- ard Hildreth’s, Horace Greeley’s, Gerret Smith’s and other crabbed manuscripts almost at a glance. When Mt. Greeley himself was anabie te decipher one of his own written sentences he referred it to Mr. Robinson, who looked at it steadily for a minute or more, and made out its meaning. Mr. Robinson’s rapidity in reading a proof sheet aloud was unparal- leled, and his enunciation was perfect. He has pronounced 696 words in a minute, which was at the rate of 41,760 words in an hour. SS — > a Germany must to Arms. Bern, February 12.—The semi-offi- cial North German (Gazette, referring to the interpretation by French newspapers of the German army bill, says: ‘The French army estimates for 1870 were nearly 500,000,000 francs, whille they now exceed 900,000,000 francs. The French army is better armed and numerically stronger than the German army, The Russian army has also been considerably increased. From the language of some of the French monarchical papers it would appear certain that if the parties they represent obtained power they would im- mediately plunge France into war. In view of this danger, Germany, though earnestly peace-loving, must, for her own safety, follow the example unfortunately set by her neighbors in their immemse ar- maments.” ~~ The Ghouls at Work Again. The Watchman at Oakwood Interupts their Proceedings. This morning, between the hours of twoand three o’clock, as Mr. Marphy, the night watchman at Oakwood cemete- ry, was going his rounds, he suddenly came upon a party of five person engaged in robbing a grave in the pauper’s section. Owing to the darkness he did not see them until he was upon them. One of the grave robbers ordered him to halt. Mr. Marpliy brought his musket to bear upon the party. The fellow nearest to him attempt- ed to strike him with a shovel, the blow was parried, and Mr. Murphy pulled the trigger, but the gun missed fire. He then drew his pistol and began firing at the robbers. One of them cried out “I am shot!” which caused the body-snatchers to break and run pelimell down the hill into a creek waist-deep in water, and scrambling up the oppesite bank they jumped into a spring-wagon and made their escapes leaving behind their new shovels and a hat.—Lichmond State. _—_——-- ane Taking The Census. —— Some of the Duties of the Supervisors, Marked Out by the Senate. In the census bill passed by the Sen- ate the first section provides for free transportation of mail matter relating to the census. The second amends the act above named by striking out the provi- sion for inquiry as to the naturalization of foreign born persons, and as to the ownership of the public debt of the Uni- ted States.

Sec- tion four amends the act aforesaid so as to require the enumeration to begin June 1, 1880, and to require numeration in cities having over 10,000 inhabitants to be taken within two weeks from that date. Section five allows the enumera- tor to be appointed from the county when no suitable person living within the enu- meration district will undertake the work. Section six requires the enumerator of each district to file in the county clerk’s office a copy of his enumeration and to correct it on reliable information as to errors in it, and to this end he may swear witnesses ; it also contains other details as to the duty of enumerators. Section seven re- quires supervisors to forward two sets of enumerator’s returns, one to the census office at Washington and the other to the office of the Secretary of State to which his district belongs. Section eight ap- propriates $350,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to pay enamerators for the additional services required by this act. i Trust him little who praises ail,! him less who censures all, and him’ i}east who is indifferent about ell.—! ‘ Lavater, i ; 7 : ‘ 3 i ee ee SALISBURY, \N-0,, FEBRUARY 26, 1880, ae — ———— a , ra 1 ola KITTY,S THANKSGIVING. | were impossible that sensible persons you would.

Wi was arrested near Shepardstown, on ruary 2d, and committed te Hagerstown jail. Yesterday Sheriff Caruthers ge" Deputy Sheriff Nixon, of Leesburg, Va., arrived in Hagerstown with a requigtion for Wallace from the Virginia authorities, and left with him by the 3.10 p.m, trig. Wallace seemed rather nervons ut Big boarded the train, but afterwards reeox- ered his composureand smoked a cigar, , Caruthers aud Nixon arrived at Wash- ington Junction, one mile from the Pojet of Rocks, this afternoon, at 5,36, 9! ; with Wallace, Jailor Nixon being cash cuffed to the prisoner, and on the way from the depot to the ferry thay were fo]- lowed by a large crowd. On arriving at the ferry the officers and prisoner spere rowed to the Virginia shore, followed. hy a half-dozen boats containing about thirty or forty persons. As the officers st on shore they were met by about .30, or more men with handkerchiefs tied, over their faces. The crowd then seized , the officers and disarmed them, proegred the key and unlocked Nixon from the prisen- er. The officers did everything ,in,their power to proteet their prisoner, but it wag of no avail. He was seized and taken to the spot where the outrage on Mrs. Mag- mon was committed. A rope was,(pat around his neck, He was allowed to get on his knees, and wake a short; prayer. The rope was then thrown over a limb of a small sycamore tree, and in the twink- ling of an eye he was launched into etern- ity. Just then at this momeht a woman rushed through the crowd, pistol in hand, and fired three or four shots into his body, This was the signal for the crowd tocom, mence firing in rapid succession, and his body was filled with bullets. The crowd then quietly dispersed. Sheriff Caruth, ers and Jailor Nixon soon after were rer leased, and departed in a hack for Lees: burg. — +e - A great mind is above doing an unjust act, above giving way to grief, above descending to buffoon- ery, and it would be invulnerable, if compassion did not prey upon its sen- sibility.—La Bruyere. ap i> ae ASSIST THE CHILD IN TIME.

It was re- built dnring the present winter, and the same hand,’ ot bome One instigated by the same motiye—opposition tu the location of the building—it is’ believed, fired it “again on the night of the 20th instant, and effected a total destruction. There is very little doubt the author of this crime could be discovered, and it is hoped the Grand Jury will cause a dili- gent inquiry into the matter. 0 Jennie Aldrich, achild of 12 or 13 years, / Was struck by the coweatcher of an en- ‘gine on the Western Road near the Car | Shops, Monday evening, and knocked off | the track. Her injuries are said not to | be serious. Jenny is idiotic and did not | regard the danger of running across the j track when the train is near. It was a surprising escape from instant destruction. The tips of three of her fiygers were caught between the trucks and tife rail, and she received two ents on her head, one on the front and the other on the back part, which though severe, are thought not to be dangerous. The child shoald have a place in the asylum, for she is of- ten exposed to dangers despite the care of her parents. ——— There seems to be a popular feeling in favor of selling the Western N. C. It. It.—as faras we have been able to gath- er it on the streets. How the country people regard the subject is unknown, if indeed, they have yet reached a conclu- sion. We dveubt not, however, they will very generally Sanction any measure re- ducing the annual taxes. Wo are both surprised and gratified to learn that there isa growing feeling of the necessity of the Cheraw connection, persons who formerly voted against a County appropriation now being in favor of taking up the scheme and pushing it by all means in our power. ‘lhe completion of the Westera N.C.

'OnSaturday night some one went through the West Ward of town breaking fences, stealing chickens and robbing pantries. About the same time a crowd of young fellows went through a neighborhood in Litaker’s township breaking fences, dis- | turbing the peace of families, and in one | case pulling down the chimney of a quiet citizen and filling his well with trash. Add to these offences the grave crimes of infanticide and rape, all committed within afew days, and we have a reeord which | well sustains the idea of the devil turned loose, Our usually quiet and well behaved | people are shocked by such a sudden and marked display of wickedness, and will, we doubt not, heartily promote every | elfert to discover and punish the offen- | ders. a4 ——O : PEAREUL ACCIDENT—NARROW ES@a rr. Monday evening last as the Soutfiern train was coming in, Mr. Alfred’ Caton, of Davie county, returning fromwtrip Seuth, with empty wagon, was overtakea<nedr the railroad crossing two miles sogtl. The sudden approach and shot-like speed of the train frighteved his horses which were hitched to ® common two-horse jroad wagon. But he quieted them for the |moment, and was in the act of crossing the track when another train came down in the same direction. His horses took fresh alarm and commenced plunging and jrunning. They upset the wagon throw- ing out its occupants, Mr. Caton, his son and a young man traveling with them. Before these persons could know what Was transpiring the train and wagon were By some remarkable jerk or swing gon was brought back upon its | Wheels, and the horses took the railroad jtrack for arumanad kept it in the rear ‘of the fast flying train from the crossing tu the depot in this place, a distance of two miles, jumping eattle guards on the way and arriving at the depot with- out serious hurt to themselves or impor- tant damage tothe wagon. "Dhe acci- dent was a serious oue to Mr. Catow y He was thrown out offhis- wagon with greht violence and for some seeonds was totally unconscious. Hig right .arm was broken between the elbow and shoulder and he received other ivjaries which disabled him for the time. The young men were stunned but, soon; recovered 'to find that they were ‘net hart. Mr. Caton was brought into town and received’ the.at- tention of Dr. Trantham, under whose care he was doing well up to the time of his departure for his home in Davie. re ——____— New York claims that its commerce increased during the last five years $45,- 075,160, whilst all other cities increased but $49,206,734, a difierence of only $4,221,- 574. | gone, lthe wa | Pe is no crime, _| lands were to be found, where zame w , BURNED Down a@arx.—The Schoqh IRG CHARTER-REGULATIONS, _In modern days Towns and Cities rise like mushroons along the lines of Rajlways, in theyregions of the great West.'

The people did not originally come to this section with the view of making fortunes by trade, nor by the possession of lucrative offices, but to earn a living by the simpler process of cultivating the soil of by mechanical pursuits. They were not there- fore disposed to congregate in towns, but to scatter far gad wide, where the most ferti bpudant, or where they supposed Ould enjoy the best health. For 1 }years therefdre the towns were compose of the public buildings, the residences of some of the county officials, a store or two, a ha‘- ter shop, a blacksmith shop, a tailor shop, and a:few inns or ordinarics furnishing: “en- tertainment for; man and beast.” “Hotel” was an unknown word among those people, who had not yet learned to disguise an ett article undera French name.

(See Swan's Revised pp. 224-5) provided that the “Court of Chan- cery, and the Supreme or General Court,” should be held in Newbern, where the Chan- cery and other ottices were to be located. Besides this Court, the Chief Justice was required, twice every year, to hold a “Court of Assize, Oyer and Terminer and General Gaol Delivery,” in the Towns of Edenton and Wilmington, and the Court House in Edgecombe. After the erection of Anson, Rowan and Orange Counties, it appears that Salisbury was added asa fourth place for holding such courts. At Icast the earliest Records (dated 1755) in Rowan Court house show that such a court was held here. And as about twenty leaves or more are torn off from the first part of the Record, it is prob- able that there were earlier courts. In 1756 The Hon. Peter Henly presided at such a court here, for Rowan, Anson and Orange, with Charles Elliott, Esy., as Attorney Gen- eral. In 1758 the Ilon. James Hasell, Chict Justice, presided. At the next Court Mar- maduke Jones, Esy., associate Justice, pre- sided, with Edmund Fanning, Esg., Attor- ney for the King, and John Frohock, Exq., Clerk, At this Court Abner Nash, Esy , produced his license from Gov. Dobbs, to practice as a lawyer in the Province. In 1762 “a Superior Court was held here, presided over by the Hon. Stephen Dewey, a Justice of the Superior Courts of Pleas and Grand Sessions.” In 1763 Maurice Moore, Esq., associate Fudge, with Edmund Fanning, Esq., Attorney General, and John Frohock, Clerk, otHciated at a Court in Sal- isbury. These extracts and references re- veal the fact that soon after the orzaniza- tion of Rowan County, Salisbury became a centre in the Court Systein of Western Car- olina, and to this, among other causes, is to be attributed the fact that she was the most prominent and populous town in the west. This prominence continucd until the mod- ern Rail Road Syscem superseded the Court System in influence, and fixing the centres of trade elsewhere, built up other thriving und populous towns, which have outstripp- ed Salisbury in the rapidity of their growth. The Superior Courts were established by act of the General Assembly at Newbern in the year 1766 during the administration of Gov. Tryon. The State was divided into six districts, viz: Wilmington, Newbern, Edenton, Hatifax, Hillsborough, aud Salis- bury districts, the latter embracing the coun- ties above named. These courts were presid- ed over by a Chief Justice and two associate Justices, appgimted” by the. Governor. The clerks of these coarts were Wppointed by the Chigf Justice. The Chief Jusvice, by act of 1770, was to receive asalaryof six hun- dred pounds, and also the sum of fifty pounds for each court he attended, while the Associate Justices, by act of 1766, re- ceived forty-one péunds for each court at- tended, that is about $100, specie, for each court, or for the twelve courts, $1200 per annum, The salary of the Chief Justice would be about equal to $3,300, in specie. At its first establishment the little village of Salisbury was not provided with a Char- ter or mifaicipal goverament, nor for twelve or fifteen years atterwards,-Sut in 1770 an act was passed by tt Assembly for “Regu- lating.the Town of Salisbury.” Lhe Pre- amble-statee that Salisbury is“a heattliy, pleasant situation, well-watcred, and con- venient for inland trade.” Even at that early day Frohock’s—afterwards called Mc- Cay's—mill-pond was in éxistence, and no doubt the deadly miasma rose from its broad surface of nearly a square mile in area, for we learn that Mr. Frohock’s residence on a hill on the southeast side of the pond, in later years called “the Castle,” was regarded as an unhealthy place, and many of his slavés died annually of the fever. But the pond was separated from Salisbury by a forest growth, whose leafy branches absorb- ed or dissipated the noxious exbalations, so that for many years, even up to the present century, the town was resorted to for health by people from the lower portions of the State. And it is a happy circumstance that after standing tur over a hundred years, its present owners generously consented to cut the huge embankment and drain ott the festering waters. Thus for the last half dozen years the city is restored to its an- cient condition of healthtulness, and the people from a warmer climate again begin to resort here even in the summer time with- out fear, especially those whe desire to se- cure the benefit of the skill of our most ex- cellent physicians. THE CoMMON. It was customary for the towns in England to have a“*Common” or open tract of public land in their immediate vicmrity, where the cattle might graze at will, where the chil- dren might play, and the gatherings of the citizens be held on extraordinary occasions. In accordance with tlnis custom, the act of the assembly specifies a “Common” in con- nection with the town of Salisbury. Its precise locality has been difficult to deter- mine, but the “act” appears to describe it as lying “on each side of the Western Great Road leading through the frontiers of this Province.” If this “Western Great Road,” was the ‘‘Beattie’s Ford Road” of modern days, crossing Grant's Creek at the bridge near the head of McCay’s pond, the said Road ran through the west ward of town, leaving Corbin street with “Temple” or Fisher street, running diagonally through the square occupied by the late Dr. Jos. W. Hall, aid back of the residence of the late Judge Caldwell—now the residence of M. L. Holmes. The ‘Common” on each side of this Road would include the square now occupied by the grounds of the Presbyterian Manse, and the spring that was anciently on it, as well as the spring at the head of the stream starting behind Paul Heilig’s resi- dence, and running through the grounds of the “National Cemetery.” he Pe a Ra eenmeeSiieae ang msires ir 1ese grounds were un- .apd covered with small oaks and’ sping | _- In a plan of the town abou 0 oe bow lee before writer, thes lots are marked as belong- ing to Troy, Chambers, Caldwell, Thomas Dixon, H. C. Jones, Dr. Polk, John Beard, Yagis henrid: Laamna Brown, Woodson, etc, etc. These lots, originally constituting the common, had probably been recently sold, ‘perhaps as a financial en ise to relieve the town of some unfortupaté debt, or to carry out some promising scheme of inter- nal improvement that was destined never to see light. It is a matter of profound as- tonishment that town co tions will part with grounds that would make desiralile parks or breathing places, for a mere trifle, and condemn the citizens to live in.a lon unbroken line of houses, unrelieved by shade when they might so easily retain a common! or park, where the inhabitants might resort at will in summer weather, and refresh them- selves by breathing the pure air that comes whis g through the rustling leaves of the trees. It is‘really more difficult in some of our larger towns, to escape from the dust and glare of the streets and painted bouses,into a pleasant and shady retreat,than itis in the great cities where the Jand is worth hundred of dollars per square yard. , “The Act” provides that all the inhabi- tants of Salisbury shall have free access to natural springs and fountains, whether on private lots or on the common, and that t was Jawful for anyone to “cut and fell,” and appropriate to his own use any tree or trees standing on the Town Common,” That was before the exquisite poem, beginning, #Woodman, spare that tree,” was composed, and the early inhabitants were more anxious to enjoy their liberties, and to have an open grazing place for their cattle, than to have a shady park tor public resort. It is worthy of notice that a strict “hog law” prevailed in the sylvan shaaes of the ancient Borough of Salisbury. Cows were indeed, a privileged class, and might roam at will over streets and common, but it was enacted that “no inhabitants of said Town, shall, on any pretence whatsoever, keep any hog or hogs, shoat or pigs, running at large. within the corporate limits of said Town, ander a penalty of twenty shillings,” while any one had the right to “shoot kill er de- stroy” the offending pig at sight. As a pro- tection against fire, every househelder was required to keep a ladder, and two good leather buckets. Fast riding and fast driv- ing incurred a penalty of five shillings for each offense. It further appears that the pioneer settlers were provided with a matr- ket house for the mutual benetit of the buy- er and seller. Taking them all in all the municipal reg- ulations of 1770 were good and wholesome, and in some particulars might still stand as models, The gentlemen who were authorized, as Town Commissioners, to put these regula- tions into execution were prominent citizens selected for their standing and their fitness for the high trust, and were generally the owners of a large real estate in the town. The list is as follows: William Steel, John Dunn, Maxwell Chambers, John Louis Beard, Thomas Frohock, Wm. Temple Coles, Matthew Troy, Peter Rep, James Kerr, Alex- ander Martin and Daniel Little. These Commissioners were appointed by the Gen- eral Assembly, and in case of a vacancy, the place was to be supplied by appointment of the Justices of the Rowan Inferior Court. Holding their offices for a term of years, or during life, these Commissioners would be able to mature and carry out extended schemes of improvement, without having before their eyes the constant fear of being left out the next year if they should chance to offend any of the people by the conscien- tious and faithful discharge of unpopular duties. This was the conservatism of Mon- archy, and doubtless it had its evils as well as the fickleness and instability of popular democracy. Perhaps the best results would be secured by a policy lying between these a .| (wu extrenies. ——- Enochville Items.

It pains us to have to chronicle the sud- den death of Miss Mollie Thomason, on Monday night, the 23d inst., at about 11 o'clock. It is supposed she died of heart disease, from which she had been sutfer- ing for some months past. Miss Mollie was one of Franklin’s brightest ornaments; a dutiful, affectionate daughter and sister; modest aud genial in her manners, kind and affable to all, possessing, in a high degree, all those Christian and social vir- tues which adorn a perfect woman. She was a general favorite with all who knew her. Her place cannot be filled. Peace to her ashes. We are informed that the stock law vate has not been erected on the new Mocksville road, north of Hartman’s mills. Why is this? There is a screw loose some- where. We advise those having charge of this matter to look to it at once, other- wise it will cause trouble in some quarter. The “North Carolina Farmer,” publish- ed by Jas. H. Enniss, of Raleigh, N. C., is becoming deservedly popular in Franklin towuship. Within an area of three miles square, two clubs of 20 subscribers each, have been raised quite recently. These clubs have received, as premiums, 40 daz- en papers of choice garden seed, besides two fine Berkshire pigs, in which each subscriber holds an interest. In this way We propose to improve our stock. We have had a few cases of scarlet fe- ver, thus far resulting in only two deaths, both sinall children, and the disease seems to be abating.

Brooks, president of the Natick Farmers’ and Mechanics’ As- sociation, gives his experience in rais- ing potatoes with shorts as a fertili- rer. He says: Several farmers inthe spring of 1878 used shorts as a fertil- jzer for corn, putting one pint ina hill, and met with good success. I thought I would try it for potatoes. I planted one-third of an acre upon which potatoes had been raised the previous year. ‘The soil was good. I planted potatoes in a drill, applying .. ral citizens) from) fhip Street!

Upon it I dropped one piece of potato with two eyes. This fall I slug sixty three bushels of good-sized, smooth potatoes, with very few small ones. I used six bags of shorts, cost- ing $2.50. I used no other fertilizer. J used the shorts dry, but think it would be better to wet them, since they are apt to blow away. Have had better success with shorts than with any other fertilizer the past sea- son, How they will work another year remains to be seen, as this has been a remarkable season for the potato, The potatoes thus raised were very smooth, and were of a size much above the average in this vicin- ity. SN ETE DSA EE EEL TEE LEED LETTE ELE, MISCELLANEOUS. WOMAN’S NERVE, How a Tall Lady Put a Small Re- porter to Flight. Virginia (Nev.), Chronicle. A tall lady with a saturnine coun- tenance came into the Chronicle office nnd demanded of one of the reporters if Virginia offered a good field fora series of a dozen lectures on Woman Suffrage. “T don’t think the Comstockers have thought much about female suf- frage,” replied the reporter frankly. “Don’t say female,” said the tall la- dy sharply. “Why not? asked the reporter, in innocent surprise. “Becanse, sir, a term that is nsed to deseribe sex in animals should not be applied to Woman.” The reporter admitted in great hu- miliation, that the point was well tak- en, and looked in some alarm at the severe countenance of the lady, who was a head taller than himself and manifestly able to thrash him in the interest of Progress if so disposed.— The stern countenance softened some- what at these signs of confessed infe- riority, however, and the lady contin- ued : “The cause of Woman is the cause of Humanity. The cause of Human- ity embraces all progress. Why, then should the people of Virgina be in- different to Woman?” “They are not,” cried the reporter, jiastily. “Far from it. Woman is the bess in this camp. Everything she wants she gets, and not one ina hundred has to do a lick of work.” “Mere toys,” said the Tall One, with deep scorn, “Playthings for an idle hour. You would cover woman with silks and gands and sink her soul to insignificance by circumscribing her sphere and allowing her no mission in life,” “Well,” admitted the small reporter, that’s about the way we look at it up here, that’s a fact. Women haven’t got the nerye to tustle for themselves Jike men.” “NER-R-R-VE!” She uttered this word jn a terrific tone, so terrific that the small re- porter half rose from his chair. Nerve!

Some Opp Expressions.—Take for example, the following genuine notice on an Irish Church door : “This is to give hotice that ag person is to be buried in this church yard but those living in the parish, Those who wish to be buried are desired to apply to me, Ephraim Grubb, parish clerk.” Here is another skin@rgd speéimen : “Notice. The chutch Wardens will hold their quarterly, meetings once in six weeks, instead of half-yearly, as formerly,” In the April of 1806 the following bill was stuck up; ‘This house is to be let forever, or longer if required.” Such a house would quite match the gown mentioned by Miss Edgeworth, “which would wear for- ever, and might be converted into a petticoat afterwards.” Another pecu- liar garment is described in one of Lady Morg:n’s earlicr fovels as be- ing composed of “an apparent tissue of woven air,” | Worthy of Exaile, - A good woman is the fast, best gift to man.

The writer says: “I notice in your last issue that you make mention of a young lady somewhere that had made a twenty-five dollar handker- chief, and you supplement it with an account of a woman in Bakeraville that has made the eluthing for four children. I caw state as a matter of fact there is a lady in Bakersville who is the mother of eight children and does all her sewing (no machine), cooking, washing, «&c., and has woven eighty yards of linsey, and made it into clothing since the first of Octo- ber, besides knitting stockings for her children, I say this to you privately and wish to call no names.

The revision of the English Bible an- dertaken by the Convocation of Canter- bury, England, in 1870, has now so far proceed that the revised New Testament will be copyrighted this autumn. In two or three years more the Old Testament will be completed, and in a few years la- -ter the Apocrypha will be ready for the press. The revision is in the hauds of a commission of clergymen and scholars, representing different Protestant denom -inationa, and this English board subwits its work as it progresses toa similar com- mission in the United States for criticism and suggestion. On Sunday evening, the Rev. Dr. Schaff, a member of the American advisory com- mission, gave a histery of the origin of the movement fora revission of the Bi- ble, and explained the principles on which the revision is condueted. It is not to be nm uew version of the Scriptures. The idiom and vocabalary of the King James Version, which we now use, and the text of which in the two centaries and a half, and more, of its existence has come to have a sacred character in t.e minds of so many millions of people, will be care- fully retained. The new Bible will not be a modern book in its garb of language, but will retain the verbal peculiarities and the forms of expression of 1611, when the present authorized version was made. Only such changes will be allowed asseem necessary in the view of the revisers to bring out more literally and clearly the meaning of the original texts. No board of revision could expect the countenance of English-speaking Chris- tians if they fail to adopt such a conser- vative policy, and to carry it out with the greatest caution, and even timidity. Our English Bible as it exists, and as it has existed during the period of the develop- ment of English literature, has become an English book with an individuality of its own, a work whose flavor would not be recognized if the ancient texts were trans- lated anew with the aid of the vastly larg- er vocabulary we now possess. This would give the volume such a wrench from its place in literature as Shakespeare would suffer if he were translated into the language of our essay and newspaper writers of to-day. The English Bible is venerated by English-speaking Christians in its actual form, and if that was essen- tially altered it would be a vew and strange book, Lowsvever great might be the improvement in the accuracy and clearness of the translation. Even this revision is anticipated with fear. Though it was undertaken with so careful a regard for the prejudices of those whe can recegnize what they believe to be inspiration only in the familiar Jan- gtlage of the existing version, it already finds resolute opponents among the de- veut readers of the King James Bible. Bishop Coxe, of Western New York, is one of these, and many others resent the idea of altering chat version, even in the direetion of palpable improvement only, as little less than a sacrilege. When a very partial revision of the standard Bible was made for the Ameri- can Bible society, ycars ago, it was smoth- evetl by its opponents, and now both that soviety and the British and Foreign Bible Seciety, the two greatest organizations in the world for the dissemination of the Scriptures, are lending nu aid to the Cant- erbary revision. Dr. Schaff says they take great interest init, however; and though they are now limited by their con- stitutions to the production and circula- tion of the King James Version, he hopes to see their constitutions so changed as to enable them to distribute the amended Bible along with the authorized version. But such a change can never take place without sharp and protracted controversy. It is easy to forecast the arguments which will be used against it, and, from the point of view of those who will use m and of those to whom they may be Adteased, they cannot fail to have force. A new Bible, it will be urged, with the provocatiyn to criticism of the old it will produce, must tend to diminish the sanc- | tity of that sacred volume. The Bible! will come to be regarded and weighed like any other book, as the skeptics now wishleit to be estimated, and with compe- ting and varying versions, the Scriptures will gradually lose that place in the ven- | eration of men to which a standard and unaltered edition has helped to elevate them. The seven leading Bible societies of the world have already circulated over | 125,000,000 Bibles, and here will be put. forth anew Bible which will cast doubt on the accuracy of all that vast supply of the Scriptures which has been scattered as the analterable Word of God. Such arguments as these will undoubt- edly be used. Yet the new revision is rapidly proceeding to cempletion, and if it is faithful to the origiuals, and honest- ly naqde with all the new light modern philology and historical investigation have thrown on the sacred texts, its vari- ations from the rendering of our existing version must be many and important. It must omit as utterly spurious passages which are held in loving veneration, and vindicate others about whose authentici- ty there is a strong and reasonable doubt. For not only has our knowledge of the original tongues in which the Scriptures were written greatly increased since the beginning of the seventeenth century, but we have also purer texts, and a flood of the auciggt’ manuscripts. Still, the revised Bible is now an assur- ed fact, and when it comes we shall doubt- less have an experience of Biblical criti- cism which will do good. —__-a—___ The Chapel Hill Ledger thinks that Orange county wants to make ex-Senator ‘A.

In the Palace he was accessible only to diplomatists, dignita- ries and oflicers. At the chapel detectives occupied seats that were formerly distin- guished visitors. the kitchen, and every dish was tasted by persons of rank specially selected for that ‘The Emperor did not even ven- ture to open his own letters, documents having repeatedly been steeped in poison and seut him.

The Sovercign was found groping his way out of the fatal quarter. All who saw the sight of the picture of Alexander XI lead- ing his daughter from the mine of dynamite, say it was one that could ne€- away ev be forgotten. The Vieuna Tayblatt relates that for some days past the Czar has daily re- ceived a sealed letter containing a few words of menace, and saying that if he did not change his system of oppression he would not live to celebrate the 25th an- niversary of his accession.

We copy from Hale’s Weekly the following sketch, part of it written by himself; Mr. Dodge was a member of the Episco- pal church, and as a delegate to the Epis- eopal Convention that elected him, voted for Bishop Ruyenscroft. During bis life he filled Many places of honor and trust, as Solictoref the Superior Court for the Lin- coltoma@istrict; for twelve or fourteen years Clerk of the Legislature; and also for many years Clerk of the Supreme Court in Mor- yanten. He was married to Miss Susan Wil- liams on the 24th May, 1826, and resided in Wilkesbore for eight years. After he was clected Selicitor he removed to Lineolnton, wherg he resided four years, He was suc- eceded by his old friend Hamilton C. Jones, Ws Selicitor: and “then, upon consultation with‘my sympathising and truly pious wife, we retired to the banks of the Yadkin, our cot and farm. She managed at home, snd T labored night and day at Couct, at Naleigh and at Morganton. -At home we were always happy; care or trouble never entered our dour, and these years were far the happiest of my life.

LIGHT TURNED ON. Gov. Jarvis’ Manifesto to the People. The Proposal to Sell the Western North Carolina Railroad Considered, and What the Governor Thinks af It. To the People of North Carolina: I have to-day exercised the very re- sponsible power vested in me by the Con- stitution and Laws of North Carolina, in convening the General Assembly in ex- tra session. The purpose for which the extra session is called is to considera proposition made by W. J. Best, J. N. Tappan, W. R. Grace and J. D. Fish for the purebase of the State’s interest in, and the speedy completion of the West- ern North Carolina Railroad. That road, as will be seen by a glance at the map, begins at Salisbury and rans west to Asheville, a distance of 148 miles, to which point it is now practically finish- ed. At Asheville the road forks, one branch running off to the Northwest with the French Broad River to a place called Paint Rock, very close to the Tennessee line, and distant from Asheville 45 miles. The other, or main line, the one commonly known as the Ducktown line, runs from Asheville southwesterly for 135 miles through the counties of Buncombe, Hay- wood, Jackson, Macon, Swain, Graham aud Chervkee to Murphy, the county seat of Cherokee, the extremie western county in the State. Beyond the North Carolina line, and some eighteen or twenty miles from Murphy, in the direct line to Chat- tanooga, the great railroad centre of the South and West, is Ducktown. It will be seen, therefore, that of this road which private individuals prepose to buy and complete, there are now 148 miles com- pleted and 200 miles uncompleted. It was not proper to do so in my pro- elamation, but I deem it due to myself now and to you, that I should detail to you my connection with the proposition for the sale of your property, the propo- sition itself, and the character and stand- ing of the parties making it and my rcas- ons for my course My connection with the matter in brief, is as follows: On the eighth day of January last, Mr. W.. J. Best, of the city of New York, came to Raleigh and snbmitted to the board of directors of the Western North Carvlina Railroad, then in session, a proposition to purchase the State’s interest in said road, and tocomplete the same. I was not present atany of the sessions of the board, but was infurmed by a copy ofa resolution sent to me immediately after their adjournment that they had declined to entertain the propostion. On Saturday evening, January the 10th, Mr. Best sub- mitted to me for my consideration, in the presence of the State Treasurer and Sec- retary of State, a proposition of the same general import as the one previously sub- mitted to the board of directors, but differing from the former, as _ he stated, in that he then proposed to give the State $450,000 of the first mortgage bonds of the new corporation, instead of the $850,000 of stock offered to the board of directors. I stated to him that the $450,000 would not cover the expendi- tures made by the State on the road since its purchase, and suggested several other changes, ull of which I regarded to the udvantage of the State. The proposition, with these changes inserted, was re-writ- ten and, together with Mr. Best's letter, placed on file in the executive office. Be- | lieving the matter to be of such impor- tance as to require my immediate, patient and carnest investigation, lat once ad- dressed wyself to its consideration. At the same time that the proposition was filed, Mr. Best placed with me also letters from the Senators and members of Congress of North Carolina, approving in general terms his offer. On the 13th day of January after, I wrote Mr. Best a letter, saying that the amount of first mortgage bonds must be $550,000, and suggesting certain other important ameud- ments, looking toa better protection of the State’s interest and better |guarratees for the certain completion of the road. To this letter Mr, Best replied on the 19th day of January, assentiug to all the pro- posed changes except one. On the 29th of January he returned to the city of Raleigh, and on the uext day in the presence of Dr, J. M. Worth, State Treas- urer, Col, Wm. L. Saunders, Secretary of State, R. H. Battle, Jr., Esq., and Col. Junius I. Scales, of the board of directors, and C. M. Cooke, Esq., of the board of in- ternal jinyprovements, he went over his whole proposition with me. Several ad- ditional amendments were then insisted upon and were accepted by him. He then left the city to visit the line of the rail- road, and while at Salisbury had a cor- rected copy of the proposition sent to me by mail. As our members of Congress had written tome in general terms ap- proving the sale of the road, I thought it but courteous and fair to them, and due to myself, that before tahing any de- cisiye action J should submit to them the proposition as amended, and to take their opinion as to whether it was such an one asto authorize me to call a special ses- sion of the Legislature for its considera- tion. It was for this purpose and no oth- er that IT went to Washington, Before leaving Raleigh I carefully re- read the proposition sent me by Mr. Best from Salisbury, and I saw two other changes that could be made therein to the further advantage of the State, 1 thereupon ationce telegrphed Maj, Wilson, the Presideyt of the Western N orth Caro- lina Railroad, at Morganton, to tarn Mr, Best back from Asheville, and requested them both to meet me at Greensboro, prepared to go on with me to Washington. They met we as requested, and on the way I ealled Mr, Best’s attention to the amendments I desired, One of these | amendinents requires him to commence | paying interest on the $850,000 first mort- gage bunds on the day that the General Assenibly shall adopt his offer, instead of on the first day of Muay, as set forth in his proposition. If the centract” should be agreed upon the middle of March, this amendment would make a difference ‘of over $7,000 in favor of the, State. The other change required an. additional guarantee for the completion of the main line to Ducktown. After some hesitation Mr. Best yielded his assent to these changes. I arrived in Washington on Thursday, and on that night the North Carolina delegation in Congress, accompanied by Gen. James Madison Leach and Col. F. E. Shober (one of the board of directors) had a consultation with me at the Metro- politan Hotel, at which Mr. Best and President Wilson were present. The pro- position was read over and discussed, and two changes were suggested, making more explicit a portion that some of the delegation thought indefinite. ‘The con- ference ended at a late hour, with the un- derstanding that I was to have these changes properly made and inserted, and that another session would be held on the next night. Iwas engaged during the greater part of the next day (Friday) in drawing out with great care these pro- posed changes and in transposing some of the sections so as to make the proposition as explicit as possible. On Friday night these gentlemen again met me in conference, read over the pro- position carefully, and addressed me lct- ters approving it and recommending the convening of the Legislature in extra session to pass upon it. Before I left Washington, I had re- quested Maj. Wilson to call together the board of directors of the W. N.C. Rail- road to mect in the city of Raleigh on the lUth of February, and I had called a mecting of the board of internal improve- ments at the same time and place. On the assembling of the board of di- rectors, all being present except Col. Shober, I submitted to them for their consideration the proposition as now per- fected. On the next day I was informed by aletter from the secretary of the board that six of its members were op- posed to calling an extra session of the Legislature to consider and pass upon the proposition, and that five members favored such a call. On the same after- noon I submitted the proposition to the board of internal improvements, which body was equally divided upon the sub- ject. Among those on both boards op- posing the assembling of the Legislature are some of the best men of the State, for whose opinions upon that or any other subject Ihave the very highest regard. But my duty was to meso plain that I could not let this vital matter rest there. On the 12th day of February I addressed a communication to Dr. J. M. Worth, the State treasurer, giving him the names of all the gentlemen who were parties to the proposition (which names Mr. Best had furnished me), and requested him to go to New York at once to investigate their financial and moral standing, aud to re- port the same to me by letter at as early a day as possible. At Dr. Worth’s re- quest I telegraphed to the Hon. Jos. J. Davis to accompany him to New York and assist him in the investigations. I also requested Col. W. E. Anderson, presi- dent of the Citizens’ National Bank of this place, to make similar inqurics for me, which he did through his correspondents of New York. Dr. Worth reports that he is “perfect- ly satisfied that Mr. Best and his associ- ates (Wr. R. Grace, J. N. Tappan and J. D. Fish,] possess the financial ability to fulfill the coutract submitted to you by them and their personal character and stauding is such as to give positive as- surance that they honestly intend to car- ry out any contract they may enter into.” Mr. Davis reports that Messrs. James D. Fish, W. R. Grace and J. N. Tappan “are gentlemen of large means and all of them gentlemen of high character, commanding the confidence of business men.” Col. Anderson reports that the sources from which he derived his “information are varied and of the very highest re- spectability in New York City, and they all agree that these are men who would not intentionally enter upon any under- taking which would invole their good names, or which they might not be able to carry out.” I thereypon at once submitted the pro- position, my letter books, aud the report made tome by the gentlemen above paned, to the Council of State, and asked their advice as to whether the General Assembly ought to be convened iv extra session. lam joformed by the Council of State that they are unanimous in ad- Vising an extra session of the General Assembly to consider the proposition for the purchase of the railroad, and in ac- cordance with this advice] have issued my proclamation as the law directs. I have exercised all the intelligence, and care I possess, in conducting the ne- gotiations, and in throwing all possible safeguards around the interests of the State. I felt obliged, in justice to the parties contemplatin. the purchase, while the negotiation w. .in progress, not to make it public; but now that I have reached the conclusion, so far as I am concerned, I desire that the speediest, greatest and most detuiled publicity be given to it, For this purpose I have caused a thonsand copies of the proposi- tion to be printed and sent out—one to each member of the General Assembly, sheriff, register of deeds and clerk of the Superior Court, and to every newspaper in the State. Any information that have on this important’ subject’ will be freely given to any citizen.of North Caro- lina who’ shall desire it, aud my letter- books are open for inspection. The proposition of Mr. Best and his associates as perfected, bLrictly stated, is | this: The State, through its proper com: . tax of 12 cents on. every S100 s of missioners, isto make a deed, without} property. It is & simple matter of calen- any waranty of title, to Mr. Best and his . eee ty a “ee lation for ¢ach tax payer te know the ex- associates for the State's’ interest iu the} act sum to pay annually and will contin- Western North Carolina Railroad. This deed is not to be delivered to the pur- chasers until the railroad is completed both to Ducktown and to. Paint. Roek, nor until all-the etipulations of their con- tract are performed ; but until then it is held in trust by the United States Trust Company, of New York, upon the follow- ing conditions : If the road is completed as agreed upon in the contract and all the other eondi- tions therein stipulated are faithfally performed, the deed is to be delivered to the purchasers; but if they fail in any one the grant becomes void, the property reverts to the State, the United States Trust Company is to re-deliver to the State, the deed and all papers pertaining thereto, aud the State re-enters at once into the possession, control and owner- ship of the entire property. Before the delivery of this deed to the United States Trust Company, the pur- chasers are to enter into a contract bind- ing themselves, their executors, admin- istrators and assigns, to build the branch railroad to Paint Rock by July Ist, 1881, the Ducktown line as far as Pigeon river by the same time, and to complete the Ducktown line by January Ist, 1885. From the day the act authorizing the sale is ratified, the purchasers are to pay all the interest on the $850,000 mortgage bonds which the State is now paying, and are in due time to take up and cancel the said bonds. The purchasers are to have the right to mortgage any mile of the said West- ern North Carolina Railroad that has been completed ‘and isin operation, to the extent of $15,000 per mile, but the aggregate amount of these mortgage bonds shall include the $850,000 hereto- fore issued, until these later bonds shalk be cancelled. Of these bonds issued by the purchasers they are to deliver to the State treasury $550,000 to re-imburse the State for its expenditures made since the purchase of the road in 1875. The mort- gage to be made by the purchasers is to contain & condition that it cannot be foreclosed until the railroad is completed both to Paint Rock and to Murphy, in Cherokee county, and this condition is to be explicitly stated in the body of all the mortgage bonds, that no defaleation in the payment of intereat or anything clse can work a sale of the railroad until it is completed. If the parties shall fail in their contract, the remedy is twofold. First, the State Las the legal right and the abili- to enforce its performanee. But if from any cause it shall become impracticable or incxpedient to enforce its performance, the railroad again becomes the property of the State, which takes that part from Salisbury to Paint Rock with all the rolling-stock and equipment free and dis- charged of all mortgage, lcin or encum- berance of any and every kind, in favor of the purchasers or any other person or corporation except the $350,000 now on it and the actual expenditures made by the purchasers in the construction, repair and equipment of the said road, not to ex- cced in the aggregate $350,000. But this lein or indebtedness shall not be due or in any way collectable until the com- pletion of the Ducktown line to Mur- phy. So that whatsoever money the purchas- er shall have expended upon the work will be absolutely forfeited unless the road shall be completed both to Murphy and to Paint Rock. If, therefore, the pur- chasers build the Paint Rock branch and stop there, the State will take possession of the railroad, which is reasonably es- timated to be worth $3,000,000. The on- ly encumbrance upon it will be the $3850,- 000 which is now a lieu upon it, and which will be due in 1890, and the amonnt expended not to exceed $350,000 which latter amount will not be due until the Ducktown line is completed to Murphy ; and if the road shall never be completed to Murphy, this amount will never be due. It will be seen. therefore, that un- less the purchasers build the road to Duektown, the State will getia completed road, said to be worth $3,000,000 cash, for $250,000, The proposition also contains a provis- ion that the said purchasers, in the mat- ter of transportation, shall not discrimi- nate against any North Carolina city or town, or against any one North Carolina city or town over another. The State is to hire to the purchasers—not give them —tive hundred convicts, fur which they are to pay to the State $125 cach per year, amounting in the aggregate to Sb2,- 500 annually for five years, or $312,500 in all. The reasons that have influenced me to convene the General Assembly in extra session, are: ; First. The Western North Carolina Railroad belongs to the people of North Carolina. Ithas been built up to its present condition by your money. It is slowly progressing towards completion by the aid you give it, and surely have the right to say whether you will sell it to those who will complete it, or will continue tu be taxed for its construction. Second. Under existing laws, the ap- propriations fur the building of the road, to paid in cash out of the State treasury, annually, are: For interest on the first mortgage bonds, $50,560; for the pur- chase of iron and material, $70,000; and for the support of convicts about $45,000 —imaking in all $174,500. To collect this money and place it in the treasury the sheriffs get 5 per cent, commission, amounting to $8,725, which added to $174,500, the amount collected, makes $183,000 in money collected out of your preperty every year. Third. The taxable property of the} be done. State is $157,967,431. To raise $183,000, therefore, out of this property requires ue to pay if you decline to sell the road and decide to go on with the work your- selves, Fourth, The price to be paid for the convicts, that is to say $62.500.a year or $125.00 a head payable quarterly in cash will entirely relieve you of the burden of the maintenance of 500 convicts: Fifth. I think you have a right to the opportunity of saying through the Legis- lature whether you will relieve yourselves entirely of this burden, or whether you will use the money to hasten the completion of the Western Insane Asy}im at Morgan- ton, so that those of our felluw Leings whom God has bereft of reason may be provid- ed for with decent comforts instead of languishing in our common jails. Sizth. You have a right to say wheth- er you will continue in force the existing laws or use the money appropriated to this purpose for fostering the public schools and the education of your chil- dren, in which so much has been left un- done by North Carolina. Seventh. You have a right to say whether or not this property shall pass from your hands into those of private capitalists who will speedily complete both lines of this important railway without further burden to you. Eighth, You have a right to say whether you are willing that these capi- talists shall invest $4,000,000 of their own money in developing in the near fu- ture one of the grandest and most impor- tant sections of our State, a section that bids fair to bethe great mining camp of the Un- ion, aud whether this investment shall be followed by others almost equally impor- tant. Ninth. Itis for you to say whether capitalists who have been urged by ap- peals, constantly and earnestly made to come and invest their money amongst you, shall be permitted to do so. Tenth. Itis for you to say whether your fellow-citizens of the west are again to be disappointed. For nearly a half century they have appealed to you for help. Fora quuter of a century you have responded to their appeals with all the means in your possession. During that time, after expending millions, you have been able, of the three hundred and forty miles of railway which you project nearly thirty years ago, to complete only one hundred and forty, and the track up- on the part completed is almost worn out. You have in your political conventions often pledged yourselves to complete the other two hundred miles, and appropriate legislation has been participated in by both parties to redeem this pledge. Pri- vate capitalists now offer to relieve you of this obligation. Whatever may be the speculation on the subject, who can say when another offer will be made? You are entiled to have an opportunity to ac- cept this offer or to decide to run the risk of another. Eleventh. You have aright to say that you will keep your faith. Every plan yet suggested for the State to go on with the work without further taxation looks to the abandonment of the main Duck- town line, aud the completion ef the branch to Paint Rock alone. Before your plighted faith is broken, you are entitled to the opportunity of accepting, if you desire, a proposition that will enable you to keep that faith, and tostrengthen rath- er than losen the bonds that bind the mountains to the plains. Twelfth This is the first offer you have had for the purchase of the road aud for its completion by private means. It may or may not be your last. But if I knew absolately that oue equally advantageous would be made to the general Assembly at its regular session next year, I would still deem it my duty to place it in your power to act now. The extra session, I fiud upon investigation, will cost you about $13,000, detailed as follows: 170 members at $4 per diem......- $ 680 2 presiding officers, $2 per diem ad- ditional... 2.2 ..22..222-2----- 4 7 clerks at $5 per diem..-......... 35 4 door-keepers at $4 per diem..... 16 4 servants at $1.50 per diem... .... 6 3 pages at $1 por diem............ 5 Printing, fuel, lights and stationery estimated at #29 per diem (am- ple)...22.. 2.0222 eee eee eee. oe) Total per diem. 22.2 22. 22... $ It is thought that ten days will be am- ply sufficient for the Legislature to pass upon this question. Then, ten days at $775 per diem, will aggregate, Without mileayge......... To which add mileage, taken from the Auditor’s book. . $ 7,750.00 5,637.75 Total... 2.2222 $13,387.75 This is lesa than one cent on the $100 worth of property. To wait until next January means that the sheriff shall col- lect of you forthe railroad this year $175,000; that is to say twelve cents on the $100 worth of property, the appro- priations for the road being that amount. To act now, rather than ayear from now, will cost $13,000, and save $175,000. In other words, it will cost one cent on the $100 worth of property, and save twelve cents. say whether you desire to have that elev- en cents collected this year or what you Now [think you have aright to will have done with it if colleeted. Of the million and a quarter of people in your State [am only one, on account of the position in which you have placed me, who can give you power to answer these questions and exercise these rights for yourselves through your representa- tives, aud to say what you will have done with this property aud the money you are annually contributing to build it. After mature deliberation, I have deter- mined, whether wiscly or unwisely the the future will deyjonstrate, to give you this opportanity.

In Davidson and Randolph there were Baptist Churches, In Salisbury, in the “Jerseys,” and elsewhere, there were some members of the Church of England. It is probable that William Temple Coles and his family, John Dunn, perhaps Corbin and Innes and the Frohocks werc attached to that communion. We infer this simply from their nativity and their connection with Earl Granville and Govyer- nor Dobbs, as Agents or Officers of the crown, In regard te Dunn we have a more certain tradition, as we shall hereafter men- tion. It will be remembered that St. LuKE’s PaRIsu was established cotemporaneously with the County, as a part of the great system of Government here wrought out, or attempt- ed; as nearly conformed to the system of the mother country as practicable.

R. J. Miller's letter to Dr. Hawks 1830.) The fact was that a large part of the population were “Dissenters,” and they resisted every effort to settle a parish minister over them, and thus refused to subject themselves to additional taxation. In Unity Parish, in Guilford County, the people elected non- episcopalians for vestryman, and it became necessary for the Assembly to dissolve the vestry and declare their actions null and void. (See Caruther’s Caldwell,” p. —) But let Parson Miller, in the letter above referred to, tell how matters were conduc- ted in Rowan County and in Salisbury, es- pecially. He says, “Subsequently to the year 1768 the Rev. Mr. (Theodore Drane) Drai came to Silisbury, in Rowan County, which was then St. Luke’s Parish, and so far suc- ceeded as to be able to have a small chapel erected in what is called the Jersey Settle- ment, about nine or ten miles east of Salis- bury. But the opposition made to his set- tlement as Rector of that Parish, hy the Presbyterians, was so very rancorous as to raise great animosity in their minds against all his endeavors to that end—they being far the most numerous body, having several large congregations well organized in the adjacent counties, and one of them in the vicinity of Salisbury. I well remember an anecdote told me by Dr. Newman, (and) John Cowan, Sen., in their life time, and indeed by several others in the vicinity of Salisbury, some of whom may yet be living. ‘That on Easter Monday, when an election according to the then law of the Province was to be held for the purpose of electing vestrymen, the Presbyterians set up candi- dates of their own persuasion and elected them, not with any design either to serve or act as vestrymen, but merely to prevent the Episcopalians from electing such as of the ground while the battle was being fought.

Dobbs, represents, “That his majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects in this country, who adhere to the liturgy and profess the doctrines of the Church of England, as by law established, have not the privileges and adyantages which the ru- brick and canons of the church allow and enjoin on all its members. That the act of the Assembly calculated for forming a regu- lar vestry in all the counties have never, in this county,produced their happy fruits. That the County ef Rowan, above all coun- ties in the Province, lies under great disad- vantages, as her inhabitants are compesed almost of all nations of Europe, and instead of a uniformity in doctrine and worship, they have a medley of most of the religious tenets that have lately appeared in the world; who from dread of submitting to the national church, should a lawful vestry be established, elect such of their own coni- munity as evade the acts of the Assembly and refuse the oath, whence we can never expect the regular enlivening beams of the holy Gospel to shine upon us.’ From the fact that there were only thirty four signers to this petition from the vast territory of Rowan, we may naturally infer that the population in those days was hope- lessly plunged into “Dissent.” And yet it was the purpose of the far-away rulers of England, and of the North Carolina Assem- bly, to have the Province to conform as far as possible to the eclesiastical system at home. And so the Parish System of Eng- land, as far as practicable, was incorporated in the system of North Carolina law. What that system was, can be gathered froma voluminous ‘‘Act” of thirty-three sections, passed by the General Assembly at Wilming- ton in 1764. Other acts and regulations ot the same general tenor had been adopted on various occasions before, but the act of 1764—with a supplementary one in 1765—is the most full, and gives an impartial view of the system as perfected, just before the final downfall of the whole scheme at the Declaration of Independence in 1776. I will endeavor to give an impartial resume of the Parish System. According to this “Act” the Frecholders of each county, on Easter Monday of every third ®year, were required to clect twelve vestrymen to hold said ottice for the term of three years. A “freeholder” according to existing laws was a person who owned at least tifty acres of land, or a lot in some town, These freeholders were required to vote for vestrymen under a penalty of twen- ty shillings—equal to $2,50 in specie—and the vestrymen so elected were required to subscribe an oath that “they will not oppose the Doctrine, Discipline and Liturgy of the Church of England, as by law established;” and in case of refusal to qualify, any vestry- man elect was to be declared incapable of acting in that capacity. Out of the twelve vestryman two church wardens were to be chosen, who were required to hold office at least one year, under a penalty of forty shil- lings, equal to five dollars, in specie or ster- ling money, and they were to forfeit five pounds if they did not sct up their accounts for public inspection, in the Court House. These vestries might appoint one or more clerks or readers, to perform divine service at such places as they might designate. The vestry were also empowered to lay 1 tax of ten shillings, proclamation money, on each “taxable” in the county for the parpose of building churches or chapels, paying min- isters’ salaries, purchasing a glebe, erecting ‘‘Mansions” or Parsonages,” etc. etc. “Taxables,” as we gather from another act, were all white male persons over six- teen years of age, all negroes mulattocs, and mustees, both male and female, over twelve years of age, and all white persons male and female over twelve years of age who intermarried with negroes or persons ot mixed blood. Sucha tax, faithfully col- lected, would have yielded an immense rev- enue for the support of religion. Being a poll tax, and not a property tax, it fell heav- ily upon the poor, and lightly on the rich. The tax thus levied was to be collected by the Sheriff, as the other taxes, and paid and in case of refusal, the Sheriff was required to “distrain” the veodsof the delinguent and sell them at pub- lic auction, after publishing the sale by post- ing it on the Court House door, the church door, and by public announcement to the people iminediately after divine service. (See Daris Revisal of N. C. laws, edition 1773 p. ». B04, 309). By an “Act” passed in 1765, during the administration of Wm. Tryon, as Licut. Governor, and called an “act” for establish- ing an orthodox clergy” it was provided that every minister of a parish was to re- ceive a stated salury of £133, 6s., 8d., and for each marriage solemnized in the parish, whether he performed the ceremony or not, provided he did not refuse, 20 shillings ; for preachirg cach funeral 40 shillings. In ad- dition to this he was to have the free use of a ‘Mansion House” and “Glebe,” or “Tract of good land,” of at least twe hundred acres, or twenty pounds additional until such time as the “Mansion House” and “Glebe” were provided. The “Mansion House was required to be thirty-eight feet in length, and eighteen feet in width, and to be accompanied with a kitchen, barn, stable, dairy and meat-house, with such other con- veniences as they may think necessary.” (See Davis’ Revisal 1773, pp. 338-9). From this it will appear that the Assembly of North Carolina made a fair and liberal provision for the support of her parish ministers, and with the exception of the Glebe, which he need not cultivate himself, rendered him “free from worldly carcs and ayocations.” But the difficulty lay in putting these reg- In Goy.

Perhaps the approach of the Revolution war had its influence also; but be that as it may, after a four years’ fruit- less effort te organize an Episcopalian con- gregation in this section he left it as he found it, without any. (Zev. Mr, Miller's letter in “Church Messenger,” Oct. 15, 1879.)

Best and associates.—Syndicute Bill endorsed by Gov. Jarvis and others, Comment: if a private citizen purchase a plantation for $10,000, and make two pay- ments of $2,000 each and then fail, what then? What docs the law say? Does the original owner of the land return him the $4,000 and take back the land? Nota bit of it. He retains the title in the land and pockets the $4,000. In other words, the purchaser loses all he has paid. Why should a great sale involving mil- lions be made to a Northern Syndicate on terms far more favorable than those that the law provides in cases of private sales? Why should a private citizen, who may sell prop- erty, be better protected in his interests and rights than a great State selling out a great railroad line ? We are not lawyers, have consulted with none, and only ask the question? It looks to a plain common sense eye that the terms for the sale of a railroad ought to be as stringent as those required in the sale of a house or a tract of land, Ought Best and Company, if they fail in their contract, to be Ict off as easily as the above section indicates? We pause for a reply. In section 13 we read that Best and his associates, in case of a failure on their part “to observe and perform the centract made with them” by the State shall nevertheless be allowed a lien upon the road from Salis- bury to Paint Rock to the extent of their “actual and necessary” outlay “in building, repairing and equipping said road,” but the amount shall not excced $850,000. Thus the State, as we understand it, would be- come actually indebted to said Best and his associates, for the sum of $850,000. There is already a lien of $850,000; so here would be an indebtedness of $1,700,000 in case Best and associates failed in their contract. this is called getting out of debt. This supposes that the $850,000 debt ‘s worth that sum. If only $550,000, the amount then will be $1,400,000. If a sale is to be made, let it be genuine: let there be no afterclaps. If we are to have an extra session at a great cost to sell out let the sale be complete. We do not wish to hear some time hence that there has been no sale, but an additional debt has been created and that too after the heavy expense of the extra session, But if a sale is made it ought to be onno better terms for the Syndicate, as we have said above, than those which prevail in pri- vate transactions as between man and man, The Governor claims that the road from Salisbury to Paint Rock will be worth fully $3,000,000 when completed. Mark that if you please, and now see what sort of a tra- der he is. He proposes to sell the read for considerably less than a million and a half —($1,500,000)—or about $1,400,000. We say this because it is evidently estimated in the bill of sale that $850,000 or less will complete the road. The $850,000 lien upon the road is valucd at $550,000, we believe. So we tind the Governor anxious to sell property which he says will be worth $3,- 000,000 when completed, and it will require not more than $850,000 to accomplish this, and for how much? The lien upon the road costs the State $550,000 really, as we under- stand. Eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars or less will complete the road, equip it, ete. It will be worth $3,000,000 when this is done. It must be sold, however, for what appears to be a good $1,400,000. This is called a good sale. The STar repeats: it is not oppose to get- tiag rid of the overgrown and pampered elephant; but it favors getting rid of it on the best possible terms, and insists that the sale shall be bona fide, complete, final, with no afterclaps. The Star further insists that the terms shall be equitable but stringent, and that the State's important interests shall be fully protected. It further suggests that three or four of the best lawyers—such as no rings can in- fluence—be sclected to report upon the Syn- dicate bill, and to make it strong wherever they find it weak.— Wimington Star. —_—___-<2e——___——_ HESTER PHYSICIANS EX- ae PERIENCE.

The Rashful Young Man of San Juan and the Maiden by the Well. Not many miles from San Juan— not more than fifteen—resides a young farmer, who is not over twenty-five years of age. He has considerable of thg requisite—the coin. Up to with- in avery short time he had led a lonely life, but thanks to the year 1880, which has proved his salvation —a young lady has proposed to him, and he is now enjoying her socicty as his wife. The following is the way it was Erdught about: The young man had every qualification for a good business man, but notwithstanding all this wag extremely bashful and blush- ed lear to his ears every time he eaught sight of a young lady. More- over, he imagined he was a fright to behold, and no girl would conde- woend to look with favor upou him. In fact, it was his opinion that he was wlestined to lead a life of single blessed ness all the days he might wan- der ,about on the terrestrial sphere. One-day, however, he stopped at the house where resided a lovely girl, She biel Jee! how shy he wagon every, qggamion and became infatuated with We? Beddler of apples and garden truck, and was determined that the ice shoald be broken, as leap year had arrived, which gave her every privil-| ege im this particular granted to the sterner sex. The young lady therefore walked ap to him as he shood by the well,and, calling the young man by his Piven name, asked him why he did smet.get married. He replied with tharacteristic nonesteem that he didn’t think there was anybody who would’haye him. “Why” replied the young—ady with great fervency, “I will hapa Yon.” The young man turned red aud stammered by turns but finally he did manage to tell her “All right.” Arrangements were madeddeonee for the marriage ceremo- ny, andim less than a week they were living together as man and wife, hap- Py as birds ina nest. ~~ pina ee A family is like an equipage.

Jonsictas of that officer and quietly Spinner’s Blank Amazement. ODS arto es a 5 One day, a short time after thy late ~ /unpleasantness terminated, the-cor-4 responding clerk of. Gen. F) E. Spin- ner, then U. S. Treasurer, entered the laid a Jetter and inclosure before him. The old man took it up looked at it, and began to look savage as he no- ticed that the inclosure was a Con- federate note. He next read the letter, which was a very courteous epistte from a°Southern man ndt* yet constructed, }who stated "that, inas- much as thé United States had suc- ceeded to the assets of the Confedera- cy, he presumed there would be no objection to assuming its liabilities, aud closed by reqnesting the Treas- rer to cash the note. oo Spinner laid the letter down gent- ly, and, leaning back in his chair, be- gan tothink it over and get mad. The process was rapid and the suc- cess brilliant beyond precedent. He fairly roared’at the cool impudence of the letter, and, after discharging a number of vigorous and far from pious denunciations.at: the head of the ex- Reb, he turned to the clerk and said: “Tell the man to go to ”? The obedient scribe accordingly re- plicd, re-inclosing the note and sta- ting that the power which had ealled the Confederacy and its paper money into existence having returned to the place of its inception, to wit, the in- fernal regions, the Treasurer recom- mended him to have it cashed there and to present it in person. This reply pleased the Gencral pro- digiously, and he chuckled heartily over it for several weeks, thinking he had extinguished the cool Southerner. But, one day, another letter was re- ceived from the man, who apologised for not answering the General’s let- ter sooner, but explained that the de- lay had been caused by the length of the journey he bad recently underta- ken at the instance of the Treasurer. He then proceeded to state that, in accordance with the suggestions made he had traveled to the dwelling-place of “Old Nick,” and actually bad an interyiew with him. He described the sulphurous deity as a rather affable, baldheaded old cuss, and said that, on presenting the Confederate note and Spinner’s letter to his host, the old fellow glanced at it, and, turning toa clerk, said; “Here pay this man his money. I know Spinner well enough; this efdorsement is good enough for me;” and turning to his guest, he continued: “Just tell Spinner I'll take his endorsement for any amount he signs for.” This’ letter was shown to the old man, who read it, and found speech inadequate to fitly express his views ; but he thought until the skating park on the top of his head grew purple. When he recovered sufficiently to command language, he turned to his corresponding clerk and said, while a bland smile radiated his face, com- municating a roseate glow to his en- tire conutenance: “Mr, , I think this ig.a,good time to drop the corres- pondenc2,” —_ -~-<ao______ A Detroiter Interviewed.

He got out, took a rail off a fence, and was trying to pry the vehicle out, when along cane & strapping young woman, about twenty-six years of age. She halt- ed, surveyed the situation, and said: “You stand by the horse while I heave ou the rail, and don’t be afraid of getting mud on your hands and boots.” Their united efforts released the vehi- ele and the Detroiter returned thanks and askedsher te get in and-ride.

I’in overtwenty-five worth $500 in cash, know all about house work and this is leapyear.” “Yes, I know, but forheaven’ssake don’t ask me to marry you!” he replied as he saw the drift. “See here,” she continued looking him square in the eye, “I’m a straight girl, wear a No. 7 shoe and I like the looks of you.” “Yes, but don’t —talk that way to me.” “Stranger it’s leapyear and I’m going to pop!

The Winter Palacc. The winter palace at St. Petersburg, in which was made the recent attempt to take the Czar’s life, is the largest palace in the world, and is the resi- dence of the Emperor and his court ‘during the winter, at which time it is said to be inhabited by no Jess than 6,000 persons of all ranks. It occn- pies the site of a palace which, during the reign of Peter the Great, belonged to Count Aphraxin, the High Admiral, who made it a gift to the Czar, Peter II, The present palace was complet- ed in 1849, occupying only two years in construction, although it was built in a style of unexampled splendor, and atacost almost fabulous. The Hall of St. George, or andiance cham- ber is an apartment one hundred and forty feet long by sixty feet broad, and in it the court receptions are held. The throne room of Peter the Great, the Gallery of the Field Marshals, the Alexander Gallery, and the Empress’ drawing room are also superb apart- ments. But the most magnificent of the chambers is the White Hall, in which the court fetes are held, and which is finished in pure white and gold. The picture gallery of the win- ter palace contains one of the finest collections of paintings in the world, taken in conjunction with the collee- tion in the Hermitage, which adjoins it, but of itself it is confined mainly to battle pictures. In the Hermitage galleries are some of the best works of Reubens, Murillo, Wan Dyke, Rembrandt, Tintoretto, Teniers, Ve- lasquez, and other renownd artists.— The Romanoffgailery,in the winterpal- ace, contains portraits of every sover- cigu of the Romanoff line since Michael Fedorowich, including many pictures of Peter the Great. On the second floor of the palace are kept the crown jewels, embracing some of the fin est gems in Europe. On the main floor of the palace is the room known as the death chamber of Nicholas I., where that monaych died March 2, 1805, Itis, and was then, entirely devoid of any splendor. helmet and military cloak have for Ilis sword, years lain there where he left them. ee Takinc Arrer Soromoyn.—The Jewish Messenger mentions an interes- ting proof that Solomon’s shrewdness has descended to New York. ‘Two women claimed to be widows of a brother in the order of Bnai Brith, and demanded the en- dowment moncy which is payable on the death of a member. The deceas- ed brother had been married only once, and there could be but one wid- ow; but the lodge could not determine Which of the women had been his wife. At length, however, one of the women proposed that the money should be equally divided between them, This proposition relieved the Hebrew in- tellect of its perplexity, and the wo- man who had proposed to discount her rights asa wife and a widow was promptly shown to the door. The Solomonic precedent is recorded iu the third chapter of I Kings: verses xvi- XXVii. the Israelites of ee A responsible party in Birmingham, England, has made the following pro- position to the Virginia Bureau of Immigration: For a supply of maps, &e., hand-books and $5,000 in cash, he will advertise Virginia lands, &c., in not less than .250 papers in Great Britain ; in leading papers in and out of London; in leading agricultural papers, and in railway guide:, &c., and he will publish a monthly Vir- ginia journal, putting 1,000 copies at so many railway stations, and 500 in reading rooms, &e., Ke.

I wonder if her thoughts are not with the absent one ? The morning after this moonlight walk, I noticed a set, determined look about Mabel’s face, which I did not at all like. Iam sure she has found her king, but will she let him take possession of his throne in her heart ? Mr. Clair bas proposed, I understand but his suit has not been decided. I am afraid she docs not vay to her- self,— “T ean never give my hand Where my heart can never be.” It is plain she has no heart to give him; yet, in spite of this fact, it is very evident to me that she will give her hand to Mr. Clair. And why? He has the almighty dollar. The struggle has been going on for some time; her heart asserting its claims and pleading for its love, on the one side, and a desire to be raised above their horses in order to see the beauti- ‘ful view of the surrounding country which was to be seen from this eleva- ‘tion. I was an unintentional listener 'to all that was said. Poor fellow! he ;was pleading with all the arder of “youth for her love, she listening with ‘downeast eyes and trembling lips to the out pouring of that passionate 'avowal which, had she been true to ‘her heart, would have made her hap- | piness, When he paused for an an- swer she was silent. Twice she tried tospeak, but her tongue refused to perform its functions, “Speak to me!” I heard him say ; “sperk—tell me you are mine, and ' minealone—that my fears are ground- ‘Jess—that you do not intend to give yourself to that maa for his money. Oh, say I have not been presumptu- ous in hoping you love me!” “No,” she replied, with the calm- ness of despair: no, you have not been presumptuous, for, Edgar, I love | you.” At this he started forward, his face radiant with love and joy, and would have clasped her to his heart, but her “Stop!” uttered in chilling tones, re- pulsed him. “T have not told you all,” she con- tinued, “I Jove you and think this confession is due yon, yet I intend to do the thing you feared—do_ it that I may free my mother and sisters from the iron clutch of poverty, from the pangs of hunger and cold—do it that I may escape the daily heart-ache of knowing their condition, Edgar, do not judge me harshly”—here her voice broke down—“do not think his wealth would repay me for all I lose in giving you up, for my heart is wrung with anguish. If I had only myself to consider, a life with you would be my crowning joy—without you, I shall never be happy, except in trying to make others so.” In vain he tried to conyince her that her mother would never let her make this sacrifice “She will never know it,” was her reply. Then he told her of the great wrong she was doing herself and him—noth- ing could change her decision. “Tet me kiss you only once before we part, my darling, for you are mine, though you marry that other.” “Tt canuot be,” she said; “it would be wronging the man I must marry.” But their hands were clasped, and the eyes of each poured floods of love into the soul of the other. I left them, my heart very sorrow- ful for these two, who, with hearts united, must live their lives apart. The lovers were the last to reach home. Mr. Vance could not be in- duced to enter the house, and left for the city by the next train. “Allis over with Vance poor fel- low,” some one remarked. Just then I saw a very satisfied look flash into Mr. Clair’s face. Mabel who had gone directly to her room, came down to tea, looking a trifle paler, but in other respects the same as usual. Again she and Mr. Clair went out into the moonlight. When aia segs tee + 5s: sparkled o her doom sealed. Sept.—I thave been too sad recent- ly to write, for it is heartrending to see this girl trying to conceal her sor- row. She succeeded well, but I who! have had a glance behind the scenes | can see the mighty effort she is mak- ing. She has certainly made Mr, Clair happy. His whole heart seems to be | given her, and his devotion is rare. October.—The family have return- ed to their city home, and Mabel is. married. She insisted that the mar- riage should take piace from her mother’s humble home. Everything was done in the most quiet manner. It was her desire that it shoud be so. She has returned from her bridal tour, and when I took the little girls to see “Cousin Mabel,” to whom they are devoted, I found her surrounded by every luxury which wealth could procure, and which love delights to lavish upon its beloved. She has ac- complished her end. The day after their marriage, her husband settled an annuity on Mrs. Clayton which lifts her far above pressing wants. But is the woman who bartered her loye for gold happy ? Remember when you judge her that it was not for herself she did this thing, but for others. Mr. Vance is rapidly advancing in his profession and will soon rank among our first lawyers. If she had only waited. NEWS ITEMS. Seymour on the Third Term, During the day Governor Seymour strayed into the main vestibule of Bragg’s Hotel, and was conversed with for a few minutes -by your correspondent. The distinguished gentleman looked remarkably well, but could not be drawn into political discussion. Hie evidently wished to fight shy of the en- tangling alliances of party warfare. Agri- culture, the wonderful growth of the Uni- ted States, and kindred topics was discus- sed with the eloquence so characteristic of the ex-Governor, but the trouble of the Democratic party or the remedies to be ap- plied seemed to be a forbidden ground upon which he did not care to enter. He made the assertion, however, that the Democrats were likely to wait and ascertain what their opponents were likely to do before taking the aggressive in the national campaign, and also expressed the opinion that harmony and union would soon be brought about. He also asserted that the Republicans did not want a positive man in the presidential chair, the history of the organization hay- ing proved that fact conclusively. While dealing with such a point it might be infer- red from the Govyernor’s remarks that he did not look upon the ex-President’s chances of a third nomination as being at all bright, the Republicans being likely to take upa candidate that would harmonize and suit all classes and factions within their ranks. “The strong-man” idea received at his hands “The people must control the government and not the government the people. Business interest is the great lever that guides the country and dictates the policy. We have more talent and genious in the United States now than in any country on the face of the globe.” Alluding to the political history of the ex- President, he said! “The ex-President was a Democrat, and yoted for Buchanan for President."—Alluny Dispatch to the N.

They assert that Grant can never get the German vote, while Sherman or Blaine can, and that hence Grant can be more easily beaten than anybody else.— Many thoughtful Democrats and anti- Grant Republicans, however, profess to see trouble in his candidacy, and some go so far as to say that it means revolution, for that wether elected or defeated he will seek to take possession of the White House. ae Voice or THE Peor_e.,—Duripng our recent trip to Fayetteville curiosity led us to ascertain the opinion of the people with whom we came in contact on the question of the sale of the Western N.C.

The Southern Home publishes the fol- lowing letter : Joun Hopxrxs Untversity, Bavtrmore, Mp., Feb. 19, 1880. The University now in its fourth year _ has 150 students, one half of whom have graduated elsewhere. Thirty-nine Amer- ican Colleges and seven foreign Universi- ties, (the Universities of France, London, Heidleberg, Leipsic and Gottingen, being included) are represented by graduate students. Howard has the largest repre- sentation—five; then Yale, University of Virginia and Davidson, come next, with four each. Among undergraduates there is a student from Bingham’s and one from the Hillsboro Military Academy. Finan- cially, the University is absolutely inde- pendent, having, together with the Hop- kins Hospital, seven millions. Twenty fellowships ($500) are awarded annually to enable students to prosecute their stud- ies here. These are not confined to mem- bers of the University, but are open to the world. One of the “fellows” is a lady from Vassar, who mirabile dictu, is in the mathematical department. A Russian and a Jap. also hold fellowship. Besides the students mentioned, quite a number of students from the two medical colleges situated bere, attend the lectures on Bi- ology, and seven medical doctors are en- rolled as full members. Several courses of lectures are delivered each year in Hopkins Hall under the auspices of the University—the subjects of which vary from the Structure of the Crab and Oys- ster” to “Sauscrit Hymns.” Yours respecfally.

Some of these are that the lawshould be as compared with the former law—more simple in its machinery, more uniform in its operation and. less expensive to those availing themselves of its provisions. A further suggestion was made that certain acts should be made to constitute a prima facie case of fraud, and that the burden of proof should be changed from the cred- itor to the debtor. The subject of home- stead exemption was discussed, and the point made that in many States the ex- emption covered so large an amount that creditors were virtually powerless to col- lect debts. The better law for us all is, that when a man makes a debt there will be no discharge except by its pay- ment or compromise with the creditor. <0“ TROUBLE AT THE VirRGINIA MILITARY InstiruTE.—A special from Richmoud, Va., says that information has just been received there of the dismissal of 27 stu- dents from the Virginia Military Institute, at Lexington, for disobedience of orders and for breaking arrest. The dismissed students had requested Gen. Francis H. Smith, the superintendent, to grant them an additional suspension from duty, to enable them to prepare for examination in descriptive geography, which he re- fused, as he was on the point of leaving for Staunton on a business visit. The students refused to obey the commandant of the Institute in the superintendent’s absence, and were dismissed upon his re- turn. <A few of the class declined to join the rebellion, and three or four of those who did returned to duty. The superin- tendcnt had issued an order in the interest of discipline setting forth the facts in the whole affair. The mutiny began on the 24th and the dissmissals followed prompt- ly. CoLorep Jurors.—Washington March 2.—A decision was rendered in the Su- preme Court of the United States this af- ternoon in the case of Taylor Strander, plaintiff in error, vs. the State of West Virginia. The question involved was the constitutionality of the agt of the West Virginia Legislature, (laws of 1872-73, chap. 47,) excluding colored citizens from jury service in the coarts of that State. This court holds that when a colored cit- izen is tried for his life by a jury from which citizens of his own race are by a State statute expressly excluded, he is de- nied the equal protection of law guaran- teed by the third clause of the 14th amend- ment to the constitution, and that the State statute denying him such right is repugnant to said constitntioual provis- ion. The judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia is reversed. Justice Strong delivered the opinion, Jus- tices Field and Clifford dissenting. a A Tripple MARRIAGE.—White Water, Wis., February 29.—Twenty-seven years ago, on Thursday, there were born into the family of Wm.

A VALUABLE STONE, _ Corundum Mines in’ the South< North Carolina Takes the Lead, : The name “‘corandam” is applied toall erystalized alumina. It is the hardest. . | mineral in the world, except the diam and when in the crystalline form and... transparent, constitutes the Oriental gema, ‘i the sapphire, ruby, emerald, topaz, €te... which are of great value, some even ex-, ceeding the dianond,. because they are, more rare. It is used for abrasive pury, poses, but as yet a sufficient quantity-has ; ‘s never been found in this country to ye the place of emery. It is much ha than emery, performing the wotk in less time. Corandam oceurs in the great crysolite. belt extending from the Southern part of Virginia to Middle Alabama, passing ina Southwesterly direction through. the mountainous portion of North Carolina. In the Southwestern counties, in the Nan- tahala range of mountains (ene of the spurs of the Blue Ridge), and laying en either side of Buck Creek (a tributary of the Tennessee), at an elevation of from three to four thousand feet is the so-called Cullakenee corundum mine, which has been considered the largest deposit of co- rundum in this country. It covers an area of three hundred acres. This mine was purchased in April, 1879, by Herman Behr & Co., and has been worked since May, with what success is not reported. In Macon county, N. C., on the western slope of the Blue Ridge, at an elevation of about twenty-five hundred feet, is Co- rundum Hill, formerly know as the Cul- lasagee mine. This mine was discovered in 1872; it was afterwards purchased by E. B. Ward, and worked for eighteen months by Col. C. W. Jenks, of Boston. Rumor says that gems of exceeding great value were taken out. In July, 1878, this mine was purchased by Dr. H. 8. Lucas for the Hampden Emery Company, of Chester, Mass. They commenced mining August 20th, and up to the present time they have taken out two hundred tons of corundum ; also, in washing some of the dumps left there when worked by Col. Jenks, were found many fragments of the oriental gem, perfectly transparent and of very great brilliancy. Among these is an emerald weighing 30} carats, and sev eral rubies of the finest color. In the eastern part of Jackson county, North Carolina, at the foot of one of the highest peaks of the Blue Ridge, is what is termed the Hog Back mine. This mine was operated for a limited season by the Hampden Emery Company. Northwest of the Pigeon, in Haywood county, North Carolina, is still another deposit of corundum, called the Presley mine, which has been worked since one year ago last March. In Madison and near the Buncombe county line, in the same State, is an out- cropping of chrysolite, carrying corun- dum, which covers an erea of seventy-five acres, and has becn worked for the Hamp- den Emery Company for the past season. Deposits of corundum are also found in South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama. pe gm A spark from a passing engine ignited a bale of cotton, on the platform of the N. C. Railroad, on Wednesday, and a num- ber of others soon caught; but the burn- ing cotton was rolled off, and the spread of the fire prevented, though a strong wind was blowing at the time. There was considerable excitement, especially among those who remembered the conflag- ration a few years ago, which originated at that place, and destroyed 1.500 bales of cotton and a number of houses.—The Southern Home. —_ Johu Burroughs in the Mareh number of Scribner, says: ‘It is a fact in the natural history of the country that, inthe South birds run more to beak and claw, and iv the West to tail, than they do iu the North and East. The beak and claw, I take it, mean ferocity, mean bowie- knives and the ku-klux, and the tail, I am loth to say, means bray. The West is windy, and the South is fierce and hot.” TE SO oO Tue Sanctity OF MARRIAGE.—The re- cent encyclical of Pope Leo XIII against divorce is apparently exciting a profound reactionary sentiment in favor of the in- dissoluble sanctity of marriage through- out the entire Christian world. Several eminent Protestant divines of different denominations indorse its positions stren- uously, and Pere Hyaciuthe stoutly advo- cates it. ‘Marriage,’ he eloquently and truly says, ‘is the full and perfect union of man and woman. Ideal marriages are rare, even impossible. Nev less we must strive to tend toward the ideal mar- riage. This should imply love and pari- ty as twin flowers upon one stem. Alf true love hopes and promises eternity. Clearly, then, indissolnbility is the law of human bature.

We AN ADDRESS Delivered Saturday, March Gth, to the Citizens Assembled ai the Court Ionse of Rowan County, BY JAMES M. GRAY, ESQ., [A MEMBER OF TIIE SALISBURY BAR. ] On the Proposal to Sell the Western North Carolina Railroad to the New York Syndicate—Facts Without Fear or Favor—The Sale Approved, But Ouly asa Last Iesort. Citizens OF Rowan: Our Chairman opened this meeting in the right manner and in the right spirit, when be requested every one who had anything to say on cither side to arise without ceremony and speak. 1 understand, fellow citizens, this meeting is called to give expression to public pinion in regard to the propriety and practicability of selling ‘o New York capitalists the Western North Carolina Railroad. It is a subject of magnitude and one that involves the interest of the whole tax-paying people through- out the State. The proposition to purchase the road is s0 recent and unexpected that Iam frank to confess I have had_ but little time to investigate the interests involved. But even at a glance all are compelled to admit that investigation would prove, much can be said for and agaiust the proposed sale. To make a speech worthy of the occasion, a man should be posted in something more than what the road has cost the people of North Carolina, or a statement of what it will cost, or to present an aproximate estimate, in the event of aid, as to the year in which it will be finished. But 1 promise more than this. Weall know how many miles have been tinished, how many are yet to be made, and all might give a detailed account of the millious of yards of earth and rock that have been removed in cutting through hills and filling up valleys. Therefore I will not pause to give figures as to the mighty magnitude and stupendous labor involved in the building of arch and trestle, to spau creek and river, nor to portray the herculeau efforts and princely outlay of money in cutting through mountains, and forming tunnels hke that monument of engincer- ing skill and persevering energy just completed through the Blue Ridve. hus chabling the iron-horse—imore mighty than Job’s war-horse—to slake his fire-consuming thirst in the refreshing waters of the Swannanoa. It is a question whether a dozen men in the Slate are minutely posted as to the statistics, or able to give dollars and cents of the almost fabulous sum it has aleady taken to furnish cross ties, iron track, engines, other rolling stock, and then detail to you the continued outlay and income on the already partly finished read. It is nut details but aggregates that we shall deal with. It is of interest to know whether the income is safticient to keep pace with the outlay of that part of the road already finished. But even if the expenses torun the already finished part of the road was double the income, this would be no evidence that the road would not | be more than self-sastaining anda source of princely revenue when Hinished. However, even before the read crossed the Blue Ridge it made money. The local run of freight and) passengers on all pardly built roads bear no comparison to that which all reads command when the lines are completed. No partly finished road, except the Western, ever had sutticient trattic to pay the running expenses, so that even if the partly finished Western with its 150 niles in ranning order has an oatlay less than the income, it has been more fortunate than other partly built roads. This read, when finished, will be a royal highway between the sea and the boundicss, wealth-prodacing plains that lie beyond the Olio and Mississippi. It will be the direct reute from North Carolina seaports to all diverging and converging lines that lead towards the setting sun, along which will pour the wealth and prosperty of ovr own and the distant nations that lie beyond the Pacitic’s wave. Liven the lighter tratlic of Oriental and other nations to a considerable extent will find its way along this road, for now light and fancy wares cross the Pacitie, our continent and the At- lantie, instead of doubling the Capes, when seeking the markets vt Western Europe. Much of this trafiie tinds its way, even now, along Northern routes that are parallel to our road. In this and all other branches of forcign and domestic tratlic the Western Koad will have everwhelming advantage by virtue of never being snow orice bound, and further its thousands of freighted trains can meet the shipping of nations at all seasons for our ports are nev- er closed by the winter's cold. When it is utterly impossible to enter poris in the North, on account of the rigerous winter, the sun lit harbors of our coast can welcome the ships of every land the whole year ronnd. The Western Road is the principal ave- nue along which shall roll the tide of prosperity that shall be felt by this, and tally realized by the coming gencrations as the ses- same that contivually reveals the hidden wealth and power that shall develop our mineral, agricultural and mechanical resources until Carolina shall stand the unrivalled rival of overy wealth producing land. Itis all important, therefore, to every Carolinian that the Western be not at this late day sold for a groat, or bartered for a mess of pottage. It may be an affair of little moment to sume whether it remain with us or pass into the hands of strangers. But even the most thoughtless will pause to iuquire why does the Syndicate urge this sudden haste in ealling the Legislature and rushing a salu with that seeming indecent haste displayed by three card monte men when in pursuit of gullible victims. We have been suddenly bantered to try our lack, and if we are not eareful we shall fud ourselves not only tleeced but skinned alive, and when too late, discover that the Best railroad bunko play - ers that ever bamboozled a legislature with “now gentlemen you see it and now you don’t,” have skipped with a legal title to 830 miles of railroad in their pockets, while a legislature with a sick look explains how it all happened. When a stranger offers to trade horses and is ina harry you may depend, if you aro not sharp, that you will be badly swindled. ‘This Syudicate is in a rushing and undignitied hurry, and just before the opening of the political campaign indicates something in the wind that smells of deep schemes and the creation of divisions quite suflicient to unite in solid column all the opposing elements and, while the New York Syndicate coqguettes over the purchase of a railroad, the Boss Syndicate will steal a march on us anda State from us. In auy event, whether sincere or not sincere, whether business or politics, the whole move is a tire brand thrown in the ranks, sale or no sale—and as the legislature is ealled, the propositions with refusal to modify or change are such as to insure no sale —but, to repeat, iu any event, wheter designuedly or not, it: threatens po- litical division, if not disaster and defeat, in the coming campaign. The calling of the Legislature creates divisions and unites oppo- sition, and thus turns loose the Nemeses of discord. Mark my words, only sheep rush all one way after their leader. Men of mind and cven the masses think and divide on great questions.— The salo of a railroad ou a syndical hour's notice that has cost millions of money and twenty-five years’ toil, and which was cre- ated and nurtured through its early years by enterprising wen, many of whom long since went from us to the thrill of war's wild shout—enterprising men who saw the first sod broken and looked forward with high hopes to its completion, and then marched away to the music of Dixie, never again to return. These facts make the question sufficiently great to prevent thinking men and the masses trom rushing at once, without inves- tigation, one way, even though forty syndieates and their friends played the part of bell wethers. Even though we be money less, and the road in a hopeless condition and no certainty of our own yower—a wheel within a wheel and that power, that.wheels con- sists of a conceutration of shrewd men whet not in the interest of the coming political campaign, are at least in the interest of those who own parallel roads aud see the danger of their having to make a fat division in the traflice that shall pass east and west, and west and east, and who see the prospect of our eventually. having North Carolina command much of the shipping that now enters northern ports. The road once in their hands, they will complete it—no doubt of it, but every dollar it may earr over the cost of running will find investment elsewhere. ‘The read will ceuse to be a North Carolina institution from the moment it pas- ses into their hands. This is to be expected for it will be theirs to du as they please. No one can find fault with Best & Co. Its merely a matter of dollars and cents—they make a proposition, and we accept or reject. But if we swap we may be swindled— perhaps better modify and say badly beaten. But Governor Jarvis has called an extra session of the Legisla- ture to meet the 15th instant. This is a responsible power and rests in him by the Law and Constitution. As it was aserious and costly undertaking it is to be hoped he weighe.' all the points with great care before publishing to the “‘People of North Carvlina” his legislative call and opinion. He states the road is finished from Salisbury to Asheville, that at Asheville the road forks—one branch to the Tennessee line—being 45 miles. The other branch 135 miles to Murphy. Thus, then there are 323 in all—of this, near 150 miles, as I have already stated, are completed. The Governor forgets to tell us that near 20 miles of the 45 mile branch is graded. Regular freight aud passenger trains run daily over the completed part. The Governor is carefully minute in his statements, but has suffered errors to ereep in and mar their reli- ability. He states: there are ‘200 miles uncompleted.” But at the sume time tells us there are 148 miles finished and that one branch of the unfinished part is 135 miles and the other 45. Ac- cording to these (official) figures the unfinished part is but 180 wiles. ‘Thus we have finished 148 and unfinished 180. But re- member 20 miles of this unfinished part is already graded. The part already finished is that part which for 25 years was looked upon as the almost impossible work to perform on account of the vastness of fills and tunnels, but all this in spite of war, debts and money panics and bankruptey, has been completed. It is safe to say that the work finished, including the 20 miles graded, on account of tunnels, is equal in labor and costs to over two thirds of the whole road. Add the Engines and other rolling stock, together with tools and all appliances to build roads, and over three fourths of what will be the total costs of the whole road when finished has already been paid. ‘The farm that was taken when a wilderness has been improved and barns, honses, imple- ments, cattle and horses are there, two thirds of the land cleared, the costs of all these improvements paid for, and threc fourths of the land paid, and now a party proposes to take possession, pay the balance due, and clear the remainder of the land, on the con- dition that I surrender everything to him with no other consid- eration than a mortgage whose face is not worth over a tenth of what [have paid for the land, to say nothing of the improvements Thave made. Just as Iam arranging to make the income pay the balance IT surrender all rights and claims and accept a little mort- gage that calls for less than a tenth of what L have paid on the jand alone. Looking at it thus, Lam tempted to decline the rath- er doubtful offer, as ] am not much on a Inortgage any way. But notwithstanding the improvements, if Lam sick and out of money —the day for Jast payment at hand, Imust accept or lose all, for Lean sell nothing—no market. Governor Jarvis talks about annual taxes, and holds up to the citzeps this and other unpleasant statements of faets that may be well to keep in mind for they are an ingenious mixture of good sense With a slight sprinkle of teffy. le calls attention to the fact that the total taxable property of North Carolina is within a traction of One hundred and fifty-eight millions of dollars. A lit- tle under 12 cents is the tax paid on cach S100 of property —one dollar and twenty cents ou the thousand. Heretofore the amount to be raised yearly were interest on mortgage bonds S59,500; the purchase of material (including iron) 870,000; the eost of keeping up the convicts from 40 to $45,000; for collecting the railroad tax, the usual five per cent—making from $7000 to $8000. In ronnd ligures the total railroad yearly taxes in all the State for the road amount to S182,000, or a little over a dime out of every hundred dollars worth of property. The carnings of the road of late clear of all expenses, is over one third of this $182,000, or more than the interest on the mortgage bonds. Now that the road is tinish- ed to Asheville, there will be an immense increase of freight and passenger business. The vast freights for all or near all the west- ern counties will go by way of Asheville. The travel for pleasure in the summer season will now greatly increase. There are rea- sons to believe that the $122,000 if needed now as heretofore, will be hereafter met by the carnings of the finished part of the road. But the read is in debt now, hopelessly so, and without taxes and and appropriations can make no further advance. Still we must say—Make haste slowly for their is danger ahead. Be cool and take time to examine the proposition. A $3,000,000 railroad for $590,000 in mortgages bonds. Were these bonds even gilt and saleable an acceptance of the proposition would be a delicate mat- ter and hard on the interest of the people, but these bonds are next to worthless because on their yery face they state according to Best’s proposition, the mortgages are not to be foreclosed, or words to that effeet, still this can be eorrected—its only a propo- sition, Governor Jarvis himself, says the rond from Salisbury to Paint Rock is worth three millions of dollars. This part of the road 18 finished except 45 miles, and 20 niles of that is graded, while everything necessary to complete the work is ready. Yet it is proposed to give away this three millions of money for $550,000 mortgage bonds and also pass over all interest in the 135 miles to Duck ‘Town. It will take over $600,000 to finish the Paint Rock 45 miles, and when finished from Salisbury to Paint Rock the road would be worth over 33,600,000. Take ont the $250,000 mortgage and there remains $2,750,000. Deduct the State bonds and money paid out since 1875—in all $1,200,000, and there yet remains $950,000, which is the value of the railroad with ev ery dollar paid. Thus there is a clear surplus of a half million dollars over and above every dollar the read cost. Bnt this istike saying a painting is worth $5000—it may be, butif Tgetue bread and meat until I get that for it, L shall die of starvation—the road may be worth millions, but if it is never finished untill some one gives mil- lions for it—Gabriel will tind it uutinished when his) trumpet sonuds. Looking at it in this and every other light, perhaps our best and only chance to see it finished isto sell out at the best figure we can, and therefore as [said, citizens of Rowan, we come together to- day to give expression of opinion for or against the proposed salo of the Western North Carolina Rail Road to the Syndicate. It is a question that demauds a more scrious consideration than most people would think ata first glance. A great enterprise that has cost years of toil and millions of dollars, must be sold to private capitalists, and through thein be pushed a head to a suecessfal and speedy completion, or remain in the hands of the State whose already overtaxed and now empty coffers are sutlicient evidence of the utter impossibility of tinding financial relief in that direc- tion. The people of this State are unwilling to submit to further taxation for the advancement of this or any other enterprise tha calls for millions of money with no prospect of a specdy cessationt of the demand anda tangible return of profits and prosperity. Private individuals, families and companies have advanced sums of money in hope of being benetited by returns in the way of prof- its and interest but years of waiting and watching have passed, and these sums, that egeregated millions of do!lars have been si n ability to tinish the road, yet thousands in our ranks will pause and think and ask why this terrible panic and hurrying up of the General Assembly without giving the people a moment. to pause and decide whether they are willing to sell it, abandon it or give it away to a syndicate tor $550,000 in bonds that are to be not. worth acent until the road is finished. Any fair weather talker can make a speech on one side when the crowd are all one way and who is careful to say nothing, not even the truth, if it does not Hatter. But it takes nerve to clutch the hornet’s nest of facts and lay them before your friends and party who would fool with and grin at a lie rather than endure the sting of disagreeable facts, But friends and fellow citizens with this parenthetical caution I pro- ceed : North Carolina has sueceeded in building several hundred miles of railroad before and since the war, and has near one hundred and fifty miles of the Western read finished. From Salisbury to Asheville is complete. When the main and almost im possible part of the great work is finished; Mr. Best and his associate Syndicatois propose to see us out. We must scrutinize their pur- pose and proposition with care and look to our own interests. When Johnson was about to complete his lexicon, after seven Vears’ toil, the lofty minded Earl proposed at the eleventh hour tinancial aid. He declined, saying : A drowning man can dis- pense with assistance after he has reached the shore by au unaid- ed strugele tor life.” The lexicon appeared without the Earl's assistance, and all profits and honors belonged strictly to the man of letters, North Carolina has suecessfully strugeled through the Blue Ridge and far beyond, and now self-respect may make it hecessary to dispense with unnecessary haste on our part. We are at Asheville, but that is yet some distance from the shore. Let the road pass into the hands of these disinterested parties from away Northand likely for generations it will simply be a vast moucy making affair, every dollar of profits will, in all probabil- Wy, pass to enrich and improve enterprise far beyond the borders of North Carolina, instead of proving a benefit and continual blessing to her children. Whenee come the millions of money by Which they propose to perform such wonders ?

Great thoughts to thrive must often be planted and nurtared by the blood of self-sacrificing martyrs. The same may be said of great enterprises, for their infancy are often nourished by the martyrdom of private and public fortunes. This is but poor consolation to men who staked their hope upon the success of a rail road, the failure of whose completion for the want of more money, has brought financial ruin to their counties, nay to their very door. This is quite sufticient to prevent others at this stage of affairs from sceking financial nirtyrdom. I there- fore nay safely say that the moueyed men of Uiis state, however unxionus, to see the road completed, are net williug to risk any part of their dollars in au cnterprise that may possibly swallow their fortunes and still remain unfinished. The past history and present condition of the Western road affairs are sach that it would be impossible, at least tor years, to get a unity of action among the moneyed men of Carotina in this matter, thercfore as- sistance from that quarter may be looked upon as utterly hopeless There is but one quarter from which help can come and that is’ taxation. Ifthe people are willing to be taxed to complete the work, the sale shonld not be made. We ean only assume that they are not willing to be further taxed. There is but one way to know their desire and that is by vote. The Legislature is called and if the sale is made that ends the matter for the present. If the sale is not made the question can be submitted at the polls, and if willing to be further taxed we can finish the road. True the present taxation may be continued untill a demand is made to discontinue by making it an issue at the polls in the choice of members for the assembly. The people have all power to the constitutional limits in the matter. [The people willing to be taxed, and the increased carnings of the road would meet. the emergency. But if the assumption, that they will oppose further taxation is correct, the cause is hopeless. No one can tell at this stage of affairs the fecling of the people on the subject. I assume that they will not consent to be further taxed to completo the road, In 1275, the State, through its representatives came to the res- ene and since then, through the generosity of an already tax-rid den people, sustained the biunt and burden of labors ever victo- rious battle, until day-light: now shines through the Blue Ridge, and the banners of toil and energy in trinmph wave in sight of Asheville—the proud little city of the mountains. The exhaust- ed army of labor under their veteran commander, Wilson, with- out iron, without supplies—in a word without money, are there evicauped and await your orders. There is but one of three or- ders that can be given—cither Ist, abandon the work aud thus es \ are.suddenly called from their homes to decide one of the most im- ik oemecneae’ om perish all our high hopes of a mighty re increase the | curse uf tuxation, an of scripture, ory Cire Oiecd or 3d, the last an ; with proper guarantees to the Syndicate, and shout from ever hill and pluin. Attention! Forward! March, to Paint Rock Dacktown! It is teo late to retreat everything is to be gained by risk and daring. The Syndicate may be a self nenk ion bedy of money getters, perhaps political tricksters, and have all the cun- ning and wisdom of serpents, but one thing is certain they must, by the proposed terms either finish the road or give itup. We have men just as smart as they are at a game of railroad banko and in legal lore and brain power, I am _ willing to tilt Sen- ator John 8. Henderson against any one of them, whilein arough and tumble fight for good points and square lieks our representa- tives, Bost and Barringer are good for a couple more. We may not enjoy all the profits that home enterprise and- home owner- ship would give, aud the Syndicate may not be lavish in spending ; 2d, renew and. the protits on any Carolina institution, except the continued stock-. |. ing and improving of the road. Yet we will have the benefits of a great high way through our own State to the extreme western counties, which shall make the mountains our next door neighbors, and open to us the palace doors of every other State. In conclusion, fellow citzena, permit me to state that however, much I dislike to see the property pass from our control, yet af- ter some hesitation and deliberation as to my duty, as a tax ayer aud an interested citizen of Rowan, and seeing the impossibility of our finishing the road for want of money, I decided to sanction the sale of the road, and wish the Syndicate success in its under- taking, and therefor hope that all will do the same, and pass the preamble and resolution I am about to read or something to the saine effect. But you have already the set of resolutions before you, offered by Mr. Lee Overman, and which will likely meet your approbation, and as I have SECONDED Mr. Overman’s resolutions, though not fully my views, therefore, I will simply read mine as a further expression of my views on the matter, with a request that my 4th resolution be added as an amendment to those be- fore you, for | think it incumbent upon us, that we do this as an evidence of onr confidence in the prudence and ability of our Senator and Representatives, to meet the issues in this sudden and unexpected demand upon their judgment. They porMnt questions, with scarce a moments reflection or time to know the will of the people. So please give especial attention to the reading of my 4th resolution—there is nothing in it save the courtesy due our Senator and Representatives. Whereas, this meeting of the citizens of Rowan County, is to give expression of public opinion as to the propriety and practi- bility of calling the Legislature to convene on the 15th instant, tor the purpose of acceptivg or rejecting the proposition of the New York Syndicate, to purchase from the State, the Western North Carolina Railroad ; and whereas, Governor Jarvis, has issu- ed his proclamation, calling the General Assembly to convene in extra session to consider any and all proposals made by said Syn- dicate, therefore be it resolved: 1. That while we do not sanction the unnecessary haste in this important matter, nor think the issuing of a proclamation calling the Legislature, an absolute necessity at this stage of affairs, yet the manifesto of Gov. Jarvis to the people of North Carolina on the subject of selling the Western Railroad, meets our approval. 2.

The Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company, have fallen on this as the shorter route South, and are now surveying it. It is to be a wide guage road, and will come in direct competition with the North Carolina Road from Greensboro to Charlotte. It will no doubt benefit the intermediate section through which it will pass, but what will be the effect on the State’s interest in the North Carolina Road? If virtually de- stroyed, as wejthink it will be,does it not be- come our representatives in the Legislature to interpose and prevent it? The State should certainly protect her own property againt the invasion of foreign cMorations whose admittance must endanger her cher- ished interests.

And there were songs and auavers, roaring, humming. The large house was filled and few could find a wish tu leave the church while music “That sways the heart And bids every passion be still!” was filling the sacred edifice. At about one o'clock, however, recess was announced, a large! table was improvised and was soon loaded with a subtantial and abundant repast. Rev. Mr. Ramsay invok- ed the divine blessing, und all were ticn invited to partake. . If there were any present that had no “music In himself,” there were very few that failed to manifest a good relish forthe good things provided for the occasion. After an hour’s recess the Church was again filled and the singing continued until the sun was nearing our western horizon when the exer- cises closed and the crowd dispersed ap- parently in the best of humer. The good order that prevailed was the theme of frequent remarks; and while a crowd so large asthis, the majority of whom are in the hey day of youth and buoyancy, can conduct themselves in so orderly a man- ner we see nt once that there is a restrain- ing power in music and religion.

Most all the best, the thinking, intelligent farmers of this county are thoroughly in favor of it. Those who are opposed to it, are a class of people who cannot see far enough ahead to appreciate the many benefits which must accure from its adoption.

It is learned here that in the argument before Judge Gilmer at Newton last Fri- day night in the case of Western Divi- sion of the Western North Carolina Rail- road and W. W. Rollins, president—an application to make perpetual the in- junction granted recently by Judge Avery against Rollins—some very sharp words passed between some of the attor- neys interested. Ina very fierce passage at arms between Col. G. N. Folk, of Lenoir, and Capt. James H. Merrimon, of Asheville, the lie passed, and a per- sonal difficulty was prevented only by the interference of other parties present. The differences between these gentlemen were however, afterwards adjusted and they renewed their friendly relations. In this case, we understand, a terrible affidavit was filed by a New York law- yer representing himself and the Rollins crowd, charging fraud, theft and all man- ner of vileness upon Maj. Wilson, Diree- tor John S. Henderson, and others— charging especially that these two gentle- men pocketed a portion of the railroad money which they recently recovercd from certain Florida railroads. The application in reference to the re- ceivership was not finally disposed of. The restraining order was continued by Judge Gilmer until the spring term of McDowell court, To help the reader to a proper under- standing of the litigation, it may be sta- ted that W. W. Rollins is the president of the Western Division of Western North Carolina Railroad; the last Legis- lature passed an act consolidating the divisious of the road and ordering Rollins to turn over all the money and other assets to Maj. Wilson, the president of the Eastern Division. ‘This Rollins refused to do and still refuses to do, and the application for an injunctiou and receiver is the result of this rcfusal.—Statesville Landmark, two in his possession —_ —~-<>o___—_- The Railroad Prospect. From the Winston Kepublican. The Durham Recorder comes to the front with an objection to the extension of the Virginia Midland, an extension to which the people of this section look with much interest, and suggests that as the Legislature is now to mect in extra ses- sion that it inquire ivto the matter and see under what charter this new work will be constructed. We can inform our contemporary that, so faras the charter is concerned, that part of the matter is secured and valid, and that the proposed road, if built, will be dune without a dol- | lar of the State’s money. But the point | to which we propose to direct at- teution is the suggestion that the extra session of the Legislature ought to inquire into the matter. Jf it do this, there are at least 50 other things more urgently re- quiring the attention of that body, and the prime question is, when will the de- mands on the extra session end 7 In this connection wedesire to quote for the information of our readers the following from the Danville Puet: “Several duys ago we mentioned the rumor of the probable extension of the Virginia Midland road to Charlotte North Carolina. It was then stated that the Baltimore & Olio company would fur- nish the money necessary for the work, and that the country through which the line is to pass would not be called on to aid in the construction, The following ex- tract from the Alexandria Gazette secus to contirm this statement: “J.B. Yates, Esg., with a corps of civil engineers, left this city Vhursday night onthe Vireiniw Midland) railroad train, for Stajesville, North Carolina, to com- mence the survey of the extension of the Virginia Midland road to Charlotte, North Carolina, to connect with the Air Short Live road from Charlotte to Atlanta, Georgia. It is understood that all the capiral necessary for the extension has been provided, and that the work will be commenced immediately.” What will the North Carolina R. R. be worth when this project shall be carried out, and the Danville road throw it back upon the hands of the State? —<—-— PROBABLE EXTREME,—Several of our exchanges apprehend that the fine results of last year’s cotton crep will lead farmers to pitch a larger one than ever before. The most sensible word yet dropped on the subject was—“make sure of your meat and bread, and then, if you will, crowd in cot- ton.” Itis well settled that a farmer in this section can make nothing on cotton if he has to sell his crop for his next year’s provisions.

Of course we visited the far-famed Tokay Vineyards, now the property of Col. Wharton J. Green, of Warren. These vineyards lie three and a half miles, almost due north, from the town of Fayetteville on a western em- jnence of the Cape Fear river. The history of the place briefly is that in 1855 Messrs. W. T. Horne, H. L. Myrover and J. A. Worth formed an association for planting a Scuppernong vineyard. The origival purchase was but thirty acres, and in 1863 Mr. Horne purchased the interest of his partners and became sole proprietor, giving to the place his personal super- vision and adding contiguous land to extend his operations. The war, how- ever, interrupted the wine business and the grapes were devoted to the production of brandy, of which it is said an excellent article was made. In the spring of 1865 the first wine house and other buildings were de- stroyed by the Vandal Sherman and the owner was reduced to poverty.— Soon afterwards the elder Mr. Horne died and the property passed to his nephew, Mr. H. R. Horne. Under the new management many improve- ments were effected, under the super- vision of Prof. R. d’ Heurense—inclu- ding anew wine cellar 60x 30 feet, two stories high, with large atic. That year 15,000 gallons of wine were made. The cellar and a second one built in 1867, and of the same size, were de- atroyed by fire in 1875, together with 14,000,gallons of wine. The following year a new cellar was erected on the cite of the old ones and of the same size. Aii modern appliances are em- ployed, and the establishment is one of the most complete in the country. A year or two ago Col. Whaton J. Green purchased the entire property for the sum of $10,/00, upon which it is estimated $35,000 to $40,000 had been expended. The property to-day consists of 650 acres of land, of which 100 acres were in grapes last year, and 60 acres more have been planted with vine and fruit trees this year. The number of vines now set out is 25,000 and comprises 25 varieties—the principle of which are all the Scuppernong varieties— the Mish, the Flowers, the Thomas and the Black Seedling, the latter one- third larger than the white varieties and equally as good. Of the Lunch grapes, the chief varieties grown are the Ives, the Concord, the Norton’s Virginia, the Champion, the Santa Anna, the Martha, the Herbemont, the Maxatoway, the Elvira and the Diana. Six varieties of wine are made—white Sweet and Dry Scupper- nong, red Sweet and Dry Seupper- nong, Dry and Sweet Concord, and Dry and Sweet Delaware, besides Claret and Champagne. Of these va- rieties the largest quantity produced is of the white Sweet Scuppernong, for which there is the greatest demand. The next largest quantity is that of the Sweet Concord. Of the bunch va- ricties of grapes, Norton’s Virginia is said to be the most promising, being very valuable for the production of Claret and Port. The wines made here are never of- fered for sale till one year old, and ready sale is found for all that can be produced. The largest quantity made | in any one year was 20,000 gallons in 1873. The prodiction will, however, rapidly increase, for the vines are growing finely and promise well. The average price realized for the wine is $1.00 per gallon—something less for large quantities The sparkling wines are all “champagnized” in New York City, where that industry is carried on to perfection, Of the grapes grown at Tokay too- thirds are solid in the fruit state in the Philadelphia and New York mar- kets and to supply the home demand -—the yield of wine depending upon the demand for the grapes as fruit, Of frnit trees only the earliest varie- ties suitable for shipping are culti- vated, = oe We ought always to deal justly, not only with those who are just to us | bat likewise with those why endeavor | to injure us; and this, too, for fear lest, by rendering them evil tor evil, we should fall into the same vice.— Llierocles.

The old man has been a hard working farmer all his life, but his wife was teaching school when he married her, and preserves such fond- ness for literature to this day that she still wears a few straggling curls. It was from her that their son Adolphus took all his romance, and two weeks ago he married a pretty and senti- mental young woman entirely for love, and brought her home to live, that he might help the old man run the farm, though the farm was hardly big enough for two families to run it. Of course they kept the breakfast table Waiting several mornings, but the old man held his peace and said nothing, and it was not until the other evening when Adolphus proposed a walk with his bride and called her “Rosebud” that the old Squire opened. “What's it, hecalled you?” said he. “Rosebud, Pa!’ simpered and blushed the bride—“he has three names for me, ‘Rosebud,’ ‘Magnolia’ and ‘Pet’—I’d think ‘Dolly’ didn’t love me if he was to stop calling me {she pouted her pretty lips at Adol- se entrar Reg tren nm ere eo —_ $e phus for a kiss. “Jess be drot if I ain’t sick!” said old Winkle. “Why, Henry,” cried his old lady, shaking her foot in the corner, and one of her curls in a slight tremble, “You used to be just as big a fool over me!” “Never sense I was born!” “Yes! that you did !” she said excit- edly, “I remember once we we were go- ing through Mr. Brown’s broom sage field you called me your ‘Life Ever- lasting,’ you know you did!” and the old mother’s face brightened that she had him. “Wall—I must’er had the rickets at the time,” said he. That night old Winkle was waked up by his wife’s crying and sobbing as if her heart was breaking. “Thunderation and blue fits! what’s the matter, Nancy ?” “Nobody loves me,” she sobbed — “Adolphus used to love me—and now he’s wrapped up in that young thing —and you care nothing for me—you never call me pet names—and you as good as told me [I lied, and before her too—oh-ah-boo I shal] die! I shall die.” “Here, Nancy, smell this camphire and swallow this brandy ; you know I love you, ding’d if I don’t call you after every yurb in the garden, from sweet potatoes to poke root—thar now” twelve in villages and towns, and twelve in cities. Of twenty-four who lived in villages and towns, one-quarter were ac-. customed todo farm 4 to say, therefore, that. of these eighty- eight of the wealthiest and most promi- nent and useful citizens of Springfield, seventy were trained in their youth upon farms. Of the eighteen who lived in ci; ties and villages, five of them report that they had no work to do, while the rest were sons of people in rather poor cir- cumstances,and were accustomed to do all sorts of work up to the time they left the paternal roof. Te samup: Of the eighty-eight solid men of Springfield, eighty-three were hard workers in their younger days, while only five had “noth- ing in partic war to do.” a Every Democrat seems to have settled down to the firm conviction that at last the Democratic party, is to win control of the general government, and that to lose now will be for the Republicans to enter. upon along lease of power. They evi- dently mean to make the coming cam- paign one of the most hotly contested the country has witnessed in many ycars.— The prudence of the Democratic majority in Vongress this winter is universally commended, and the only advice they give isto pass the appropriation bills quickly aud adjourn. Nota man among the crowd has been found who does not think Grant is the best man to beat that the Republicans could put in the field, m..inly because of his having served two terms. They repert the sentiment of Re- publicaus in nearly all the States they represent to be against the third term principle, and upon this they base their hopes of defeating him easily. Theselec- —as she got quiet—“but by Jacks! I knowed it! and it all comes from! that—he don’t know his head from a hole in the ground—his marrying for love and bringing a doll baby con- cern here to pet, why, be hang’d if the old winmin aint fonder of pettin’ than the young ones, and a blamed sight wuss! Nancy, Nancy,” calling her. “Hey! O my! how you startled me, I was just gettingto sleep ; what is it?” “TI jess want to say to you, don’t you ever turn fool any more, no mat- ter if I don’t call you Hiuky Dinky, and that sort’er stuff; I love you good enough to plow all day in the sun for you.” ee ge Woman’s Charity for Woman. Fannie Ward, asprightly writer in For- ney’s Washiugton Chronicle, speaking of charity between mankind, very truthful- ly says: “But when it comes to woman’s charity for woman, I fear the sex are in corrigi- ble, and vo amount of preaching will avail. Samantha Allen nnderstood where- of she spoke, in the fullowing pointed re- marks: “Wimmen are meaner than pus- ly abont some things, amd this is one of them. Now wimmen will go out and kill the fatted calf with their own hands to feast the prodigal that has been livin’ on husks. But let the that he has been boardin’ with on the same bundle of husks ask meekly for a little mite of this veal critter will she get it? No! she won’t get so much as one of the hoofs. She will be told to keep on eatin’ her husks, and after she has got throngh with ’em to die, for after a ounce eat husks, she can never eat any other vittles; and if she asks meekly, why it is her is stomach so different from the male husk-eater, he when right off from husks to fatted calf, they’ll say to her; what sin ina woman hain’t sin in a} man. Men are such noble creatures that | they will be a little wild, it is expected of| ‘em; but after they have sowed their wild oats, they always settle down and woman woman has too, Iam sick of husks, I want to live a good life in the sight of God and man. Can’t I settle down too ?” “Yes, you can settle down in the | grave,” they say to her. “Whena wo-| wan has sinned once that is all the place there is for her. A woman cannot be forgiven.” There is a old sayin’: “Go| and sin no more ;” but that is 1,800 years | old—awful old fashioned. And then after they have fattened the male husk-eater on this gospel veal, and | fell on his neck and embraced him a few times, they will take him into their hous- esand marry him to their purest and prettiest daughter, at the same time, they won’t have a female husker in tlreir article.” SS —___—— Statistics for Reflection. In the early autumn of larst year the Rev. Washington Gladden, of Springticld, Mass., sent the following note to one hun- dred of the representative busines and professional men of his city : “T desire to find out, for the benefit of the boys, how the leading men of this ci- ty spent their boyhood Will you be kind enough to tell me: (1) Whether your | in acity ; and (2) whether you were ac- to engage in any kind of work when you were not in school?” Out of the one hundred persons who re- ceived the notes, eighty-eight answered pet names—wouldn’t you dear ?” and make the very best of men. = Nay . ial ty by Druggists “Can't I settle down too?” cries the} § ata eae a and Dealers poor woman. ‘I am sick of wild oats fe, in Medicine kitchen to wash for ’em at four ceuts an : | home during the first fifteen years of a veneral assortment of house firniture—Bed- your life was on a farm, in a village, or /|steads, ° , Chinn Presses, Candle Stinds, iin Safes, Desks, customed, during any part of that period. | pahjes, Washstands, Chairs, &c. keep an assortment of of walnut, pine and poplar, from SL upwards. the questions, and Mr. Gladden was 80| vexatious delays.

To prove to you still further how deep is the anxiety I feel to promote your welfare, I design to give you ashare in business, for [am old and feeble, and cannot much longer business.” Richard started wildly to his feet at this, and then sank down utterly bewildered and amazed by this unexpected good fortune, while Shafton and Lovell suspended their work in their astonishment. Master Clinton resumed : ‘IT have long marked your merit, your zealous endeavors to please, with approbation, and have now resolved to prove my wish for your advance- ment, like youn my proposal ?’ ‘Lo!

Richard stood like one stupefied. ‘Speak, sir, do you hear these glad- dening tidings?’ continued the sheriff. Richard raised his head proudly, and his whole frame scemed to swell ‘with his new-found greatness. ‘Yes, I hear!’ he cried exultingly. |‘Now away with paltry evasion and deceit! away with the assumed char- | aeter of years-—for—I—I am—ha, ha, sha! the De Lacy Baron?

Would ye keep the sun- ° ? beams from a nobleman ? | There was a commotion among the archers whose eyes were turned sky- ward, and a confused murmur of ‘The | red crow! The red crow!” And | when the sheriff askcd the meaning of : this outery, a bowman told him that a strange bird, shaped like a crow, but /of crimson hue, had been seen for the lust two evenings flying over the mead- ows, and it was coming then. ‘I have heard of this!’ exclaimed the sheriff; ‘the owner is connected with the De Lacy family, and the prophecy runs thus: ‘When a red crow meets thine eye, Then the castle’s heir is nigh ; + When a red crow falls to ground, Then the castle’s heir is found.” ‘And is not this explained ?’ cried Richard, eagerly. ‘I am the castle’s aR heir, and see yonder flies the red crow !’ A bird of bright. crimson color, and not unlike a crow in shape, hovered for 2 moment over the heads of the spectators, and then settled down, and perched upon the target. All gazed upon it in awe, and a general murmur went forth of ‘Hail to the Baron de Lacy !’ At this juncture of affairs Ralph Marriott pushed his way through the gaping throng and gained the sheriff’s side. ‘Noble sir,’ he exclaimed, ‘there has been some strange mistake committed here! Richard Wilkins is not the heir to the De Lacy estate.’ .yall-: listened with astonishment. ‘Within the hourI have discovered his parents,’ continu- ed Ralph; ‘they are poor and needy people residing at village the of Hogs- den. ‘The red mark on his wrist is not a crow, but the scar of a burn re- ceived in infancy. We must seek fur- ther for the rightful heir.’ ‘Liar!’ cried Richard, aghast at the prospect of so soon losing his new- found greatness. ‘I am he! this no- Cs | ble sheriff hath announced it, and fate itself ratifies the deerce, for, behold, the prophecy is accomplished—there is the red crow!’ " He pointed triumphantly to where the strange bird still perched upon the target. But Ralph Marriott was not convinced, ‘All this is vain,’ he said. ‘It js clearly proved that you are not the real De Lacy, nor will the propheey be accomplished until the crow falls.’ Richard snatched up a bow and ar- row and aiming the shaft, exclaimed, ‘Then the bird shall perish now!’ ; But the arrow went wide ef the mark, and the bird, scared from its perch was rising launched it at the red crow. swiftly in the air, when a second ar- row, sent by Loveli, with a better aim, transfixed it, and brought it to the ground, One part of the prophecy was fulfilled—the crow had fallen to the ground. ‘Why have you done this, young man?’ asked Marrott, surveying Lov- ell curiously. ‘Faith ? answered Lovell, ‘I was anxious to verify the prophecy. There is the red crow down, and here is an- other. He stripped up his sleeve and showed a red crow stamped upon lis wrist. ‘Thou art the De Lacy heir!’ cried Marriott, instantly. ‘You! exclaimed Clinton. ‘Why, methought the Bible scribe of Pater- noster Row, was your parent 2?” ‘So, indeed, do many think,’ an- swered Lovell; ‘but it is not so. It isnot so. It was but charity that bade him nurture me, and not paren- tal love. Tlow the crow comes upon my wrist I cannot tell.’ ‘But I can,’ answered Marriott. ‘When the deceased Lord De Lacy was forced by untoward circumstances to throw his infant son upon the world, he—so that in future time the infant might be recognized—did on his wrist stainp the emblem of the family—a crimson, bird, like to a crow.’ ‘Then Iam the De Lacy baron;” ‘And thou, Say, cried Lovell, joyfully. Marion, shalt be my baroness. Master Clinton, shall it be so?’ ‘The jewelers eyes glistened ; here was the fulfillment of his scheme, with but a change of bridegroom. ‘What says my child?’ asked Clin- ton, persuasively. ‘Nay, father,’ answered the ‘Il’ayre Mayde of West Cheap,’ modestly and demurely, ‘an’ it be thy wish I shall not gainsay it.’ —————- ar —_————_ We thought that Chicago was ahead on wheat, pork, provisions and divorces, bat now she turns up as something of a lumber market also.

The London Building News says that the extraordinary demand for Italian marble has raised a question as to how long the quarries are likely to hold out. According to a report of the French geological commission there yet remains a considerable sur- face and depth of the true Pentelican marble untouched, but no specific statements are given on this heap. At Carrara a dreadful waste of marble goes on. A late traveler was assured on the spot that hundreds of tons are needlessly thrown away through sheer carelessness and clumsiness of work- men. Much of this exquisit materia] is removed in enormous masses for the decoration of commonplace edifices.— The Italians are at length becoming alive to this.

Landmark, in noting the fact that Gov. Vance had consented to deliver in Washington City his address on “The Scattered Nation,” for the benefit of an Episcopal church in Montgomery county, this State, says under the above heading: “We have had the pleasure of bearing this masterly composition, and can say without | the least affectation that in profound thought, curious information, just criticism, and loftyeloquence, it is unsurpassed by any-, thing we have ever listened to, at any time, or from any orator. The people of Wash- ington will do well to hear the Senator in his great speech on a great people,” oS a % > ee, te : press in pop- place.in the so-. d political system of the very big nlattign the Morals, the ublic spirit of the country... Not only are they journalists, recording po- , litical occurrences, but they discuss prinej- ples, they comment on measures, , they can- x the vass character, they hold a power over fl ines of | force. The conductors of ular governments occupy a cil an os \ b : reputation, the feelings, the hap individuals. ge “The public ear is always open to their addresses, the public sympathy easily made — responsive to their sentiments. ee “It is, indeed, sir, a distinction of high honor, that their’s is the only profession express. ly protected and gpruarded by constitutional en- actments. Their employment soars so high, in its general consequences, it is so‘ intimately connected with the public happiness, that- its security is provided for by the funda- mental law. While it acts in a mamer worthy of this distinction, the press if ‘a fountain of light and a source of gladden- ing warmth. It instructs the public mind and animates the spirit of patriotism. Its loud voice suppresses everything which would raise itself against the public liberty; and its blasting rebuke causes incipient des- potism to perish in the bud. wai “But remember, sir, that these are the at- tributes of a free press only. And is a press that is purchased or pensioned more free than a press that is fettered? Can the peo- ple look for truths to partial sources, whéth- ’ er rendered partial through fear or throtgh favor? Why shall not amanacled press’ be trusted with the maintenance and- defense of popular rights? Beeause it is supposed to be under the influence of a power which may prove greater than the love of truth. Such a press may scorn abuses in government, or be silent. It may’ fear to speak,” : - —_— —_ ---e Too much of a good Thing. At a party of young people in Paris, the conversation happened to turn on the sub- ject of kissing, and the question was pro- pounded whe of the young nfen present could boast of having given or being able to give “his girl” the most kisses, Various were the replies this question brought ont, Finally a young man and the girl to whom he was betrothed bet 200 francs that they could kiss 10,000 times in ten. hours, pro- viding they would be allowed to‘take an occasional glass of wine “between.” Two persons were appointed a ‘committee to count the uumber of kisses, and the work began. During the second hour the kisses were not nearly as numerous, for the com- mittee only counted 1,000. After the third hour, during which they managed toscore but 750, further operations were brought to a sudden standstill. The lips*of thesyoiing man were seized with a cramp, and he was carried off in a fainting condition.’ ‘The girl, afew days later, was stricken with brain fever which nearly’ carried -her.off to a land where kissing is unknown.’ When the people who had’won the bet demanded their money the parents of the: girl refused to pay her share of it. The matter was then taken to the courts, and there it was decided that the bet must be paid. a Tue SancTity oF MarrraGe.—The re- cent encyclical of Pope Leo XIII against divorce is apparently exciting a profound reactionary sentiment in favor of the in- dissoluble sanctity of marriage through- out the entire Christian world. Several eminent Protestant divines of different denominations indorse its positions stren- uously, and Pere Hyacinthe stoutly advo- cates it. “Marriage,” he eloqaently and truly says, ‘is the fulland perfect anion ~ of man and woman. Ideal marriages are rare, even impossible. Nevertheless we must strive to tend toward the ideal mar- riage. This should imply love and puti- ty as twin flowers upon one stem, All true love hopes and promises eternity. Clearly, then, indissolubility is the law of haman nature. Unity or monogamy, des- pite the corruptions of Salt Lake and the degradation of lower civilizations, is also a natural law. It is necessary to the dig- nity of woman and inseparable frout mar- riage.” Se oe —_——— -a-———- .

Of twenty-four who lived in villages and towns, one-quarter were ac- customed to do farmwork. It is proper to say, therefore, that of these eighty- eight of the wealthiest and most promi- nent and useful citizens of Springfield, seventy were trained in their youth upon farms. Of the cighteen who lived in ci- ties and villages, tive of them report that they had no work to do, while the rest were sons of people in rather poor cir- cumstances, and were accustomed to do all sorts of work up to the time they left the paternal roof. To sumup: Of the eighty-eight solid men of Springfield, eighty-three were hard workers in their younger days, while only five had ‘“‘noth- ing in partie war to do.” Every Democrat seems to have settled down to the firm conviction that at last the Demoeratic party. is to win control of the general government, and that to lose now will be for the Republicans to enter upon along lease of power.

That year 15,000 gallonsof wine were made. The cellar and a second one built in 1867, and of the same size, were de- atroyed by fire in 1575, together with 14,000,gallons of wine. The following year a new cellar was erected on the cite of the old ones and of the same size. All modern appliances are em- ployed, and the establishment is one of the most complete in the country. A year or two ago Col. Whaton J. Green purchased the entire property for the sum of $10,000, upon which it is estimated $35,000 to $40,000 had been expended, The property to-day consists of 650 acres of land, of which 100 acres were in grapes last year, and 60 acres more have been planted with vine and fruit trees this year. The number of vines now set out is 25,000 and comprises 25 varieties—the principle of which are all the Scuppernong varieties— the Mish, the Flowers, the Thomas and the Black Seedling, the latter one- third larger than the white varieties Of the buneh grapes, the chiet varietics grown are the Ives, the Concord, the Norton’s and equally as good, Virginia, the Champion, the Santa Anna, the Martha, the Herbemont, the Maxatoway, the Elvira and the Diana. Six varieties of wine are made—white Sweet and Dry Scupper- nong, red Sweet and Dry Seupper- nong, Dry and Sweet Concord, and Dry and Claret and Champagne. Of these va- Sweet Delaware, besides rieties the largest quantity produced | is of the white Sweet Scuppernong, for which there is the greatest demand. | The next largest quantity is that of| the Sweet. Concord. Of the bunch va- rieties of grapes, Norton’s Virginia is said to be the most promising, being | very valuable for the production of Claret and Port.

The London Building News says that the extraordinary demand for Italian marble has raised a question as to how long the quarries are likely to hold out. According to a report of the French geological commission there yet remains a considerable sur- face and depth of the true Pentelican marble untouched, but no specific statements are given on this heap. At Carrara a dreadful waste of marble goes on. A late traveler was assured on the spot that hundreds of tons are needlessly thrown away through sheer carelessness and clumsiness of work- men. Much of this exquisit material is removed in enormous masses for the decoration of commonplace edifices.— The Italians are at length becoming alive to this. The quarries have been worked almost without intermission since the days of the Roman emperors. A little community of sculptors is es- tablished around the quarries, and the artists chisel is plied almost side by side with the marble mason’s saw. The marble goes every where. oo.

Landmark, in noting the fact that Gov. Vance had consented to deliver in Washington City his address on “The Scattered Nation,” for the benefit of an Episcopal church in Montgomery county, this State, says under the above heading: “We have had the pleasure of hearing this , masterly composition, and can say without the least affectation that in profound thought, curious information, just criticism, and loftyeloquence, it is unsurpassed by any- , thing we have ever listened to, at any time, or from any orator.

Its loud voice suppresses everything which would raise itself against the public liberty; and its blasting rebuke causes inciptent des- potism to perish in the bud. “But remember, sir, that these are the at- tributes of a free press only.

At a party of young people in Paris, the conversation happened to turn on the sub- ject of kissing, and the question was pfo- pounded whe of the young nfen present could boast of having given or being able to give “his girl” the most kisses. Various were the replies this question brought’ ont. Finally a young man and the girl to whom he was betrothed bet 200 francs that they could kiss 10,000 times in ten. hours, pro- viding they would be allowed to‘take an occasional glass of wine “between.” Two persons were appointed a committee to count the uumber of kisses, and the work began. During the second howr'theé Kisses were not nearly as numerous, for the com- mittee only counted 1,000. After the third hour, during which they managed toscore but 750, further operations were brought to a sudden standstill. The lipsof theyotng man were seized with a cramp, and he was carried off in a fainting condition. ‘The girl,a few days later, was ‘stricken with brain fever which nearly | carried -her.off to aland where kissing is unknown. When the people who had'won the bet. demanded their money the parents of the’ girl refused to pay her share of it. The matter was then taken to the courts, and there it was decided that the bet must be paid. Eo THe Sancrity or Marriace.—There- cent encyclical of Pope Leo XTEI against divorce is apparently exciting a profound reactionary sentiment in favor of the in- dissoluble sanctity of marriage through- out the entire Christian world. Several eminent Protestant divines of. different denominations indorse its positions stren- uously, and Pere Hyacinthe stontly advo- cates it. “Marriage,” he eloquently and truly says, ‘is the full and perfect union of man and woman. Ideal marriages are rare, even impossible. Nevertheless -we must strive to tend toward the ideal mar- riage. This should imply love and oe ty as twin flowers upon one stem, All true love hopes and promises eternity. Clearly, then, indissolability is the law of haman nature. Unity or monogamiy, des- pite the corruptions of Salt Lake and the degradation of lower civilizations, is also a natural law. It is necessary tothe dig- nity of woman and inseparable frou mdr- riage.” ere -_-_— eo. e The Asheville Citizen: iA tion with Mr. Best, be asst gs tha if his proposition was conan ‘by. ‘the Legislatare he would at onee move bis family to Asheville, and that this place ‘his operations.

The officials of the Western Di- vision instituted a suit against the Dutch bondholders of the Florida Railroad, based upon no claim recognized by this State as valid, and it is said managed tv receive Sixty thousand dollars iu money and ninety thousand in bonds, for which they were rendering no account to the State or the Western N. C. Railroad Company, and they were still pushipg for more. But the last General Assembly repealed the charter of the Western Division and consolidated the two Divisions, thus abol- ishing the corps of officers on the Western end, demaydiug of them to hand over everything to President Wilson. This Act, it seems, threw Rollins & Co. out of court in their suit against the Dutch bondholders, but Judge Bradley allowed President Wilson to be made a party to the suit, who, upov invitation, went to Florida to see about it, and as is well known, reeeived $25,000—fer what? He Aid not sell anything that belonged to the State, nor did he compromise any in- terest of the State, fur she had none there. Neither did he make a debt for which she is bound. Indeed, he was not pretending to act in the capacity of ageut for the State, but solely for the Western N.C. Railroad. No cititizen, not a stockholder in the W. N.C. R. R. Co. has any right tw require him to answer for the money he brought away for the Western N, C, Railroad. Take it all-in-all, it is a mysterious case. We do not pretend to understand it thoroughly, but have only presented such poiuts as seem reasonably clear. What yas the nature and history of the claim of the Western Division against the Dutch bondholders, or against the Road held in mortgage by them? Whatever it was it slipped away from them on the gonsolidatiyn of the two divisions of the WesternjN. C. Railroad, and the defend- ants in the Florida suit proposed to trade with President Wilson, as the proper rep- resentative of the Western N. C. Road. He bad no right, claim or other thing to selloy compromise, but still he was in the way-ef the Dutch bondholders fore- sloging a mortgage on the Florida Road, and may haye received the $25,000 just to get gut of the way. If so, it was a gratyity—not to the State, but to the Western N. C. Railroad, which was hin- dering a legal process, paying them to get out of the way s that the property could come t¢ gale unencumbered. Theré is, we think, a semblance of ex- tra officiousness in the press in calling on President Wilson to account for the mon- ey teceived by him, So far as Rollins & Co. are concerned, their call is with es- peeial bad grace, and reminds one of the tlying thief who cries ‘stop thief,” Con- cealment of the money has not been at- tempted and in due time President Wil- son will show all that he is required to do, in defenee of himself. les Conpition.—Gov.

He is a good manager of his own extensive business, which is a strong argument in his favor. But Mr. Holt is not an eastern man. Wilmington claims for that part of the State the courtesy (or the right) to fur- nish the next candidate for Governor, and for one we desire they shall have it. We hope it will be generally and cheerfully conceded by the West. ————————_—_— are It is said Unele Sam. Tilden may cer- tainly be counted on asa candidate for the Democratie nomination. If nomina- ted we will support him cheerfully, and really we egu’t see the man who would, probably make a better ran. We would prefer Thurman to any other man yet mentioned, but his following is compara- tively weak. Bayard.and. Tilden are ahead of him, either of whom would thake a good President.

State are going into the’ tobacco business. Farmers of Haywood county, says the Citizen, are preparing to pitch heavy crops of the weed. Catawba county is pronunc- ed the best tobacco county west. There are several tobacco warehouses at Hicko- ry, and the signs indicate that the people are going to settle down on tobacco as a staple crop. Mr. John H. Dalton, of Iredell county, was, we believe, the pioneer in the tobac- co business in that county. We remem- ber hearing him say about thirty-five years ago, that the ridge lands between the Yadkin and Catawba rivers were ad- mirably adapted to the growth of tobacco, and he spoke from actual tests and per- sonal observation. It is only of late years it was thought the lands of the mountain counties could be used profitably on this crop. ; >a Rev. J. R. Brooks is writing a series of very interesting articles for the Newbern Nut Shell on drunkeness and the poison- ous adulterations of liquors sold to the people of this couatry. He mentions amoung other facts that the whole produc- tion of the Champagne Wine District in France does not exceed 800,000 baskets. Of this Russia consumes 160,000, France 162,000, Germany 146,000, England 220,- 000 ; and yet the United States consumes 1,000,000 baskets! This reminds of au incident in the Drag Store of the late Dr: Sil, of this place, be- fore the war. A customer entered and asked — “Doctor, have you any pure French Brandy ?—I want it for a sick person.” With a shake of the head the honest old man said: “My dear friend, I do not know, proba- bly Lhave not. We have what we sell as Freneh Brandy, bat I have my doubts whether there is a gallon of pure French Brandy in the State.” An article in the Stale Journal of recent date, showed that large quantities of the wine productions of the Tokay vineyard are shipped North where it is manutact- ured into Champagne. oe Sa France TO TAKE Part IN THE CELE- BRATION OF THE BATTLE OF YORKTOWN, —New York, March 15.—At a meeting of the members of the Cerial Francaise, De L’Harmonie, held at the Club House yes- terday, for the purpose of taking action in reference to the centennial celebration of the battle of Yorktown, it was unani- mously voted that Leon Chattean be re- questd to act as_ interpreter of the senti- ments and opinions of the French popu- lation of America, in urging the French government to take the immediate neces- sary measureszin the matter of the cele- bration as soon as President Hayes shall send the French government a formal invitation'to assist in the commemora- tion.

Special to the Richmond Dispatch. Washington, March 9.—Bob Ingersoll, Atheist and Republican, delivered his lecture on “The “Gods” at the National Theatre last night, at seventy-five cents a head, to a great crowd, in’ which fash- ionable ladies and grey-headed nen were conspicuous. Senator Bruce was the on- ly Senator present, and several members of the House had ladies with them. A Virginian, who ‘ig a Presbyterian and a well known political orator, was there, aud he informs your correspondent that it was the saddest spectacle he ever be- held to see the old men applauding and the ladies langhisg. approving when In- geisoll proclaimed that there is no God but Reason, and. asked who will be the successor of Jesus Christ. ‘Twenty years ago public opinion would not have toler- ated his brilliant ribaldry and his blas- phemy in comic trimmings, and yet it is now fashionable to take pure-minded youns women who had Christian mothers to hear him. I couldn’t help saying to my Virginia friend, as he told me of the eloquent infidelity of the lecturer, that to me Jolin Jasper’s faith as shown in his theory that the sun moves because he be- lfeves his Bible says it does is sublime compared with Ingersoll’s most splendid passage about Pan and Thor and the other dead gods of the ancients. During the Reign of ‘Terrorin France sach scenes as that witnessed at thé National Theatre last night were common, and it may be that the Americau'eapital is preparing it- self for a reign of Radicalism worse than lis has cver yet seen, From the Charlotte observer, SPECIAL DISPATCH. Rateteu, N. C., March 15,10 p.m, 1880.The members of the Legislatare, pursuant to the éall of the Governor, as- sembled in the State House promptly to- day at twelve o'clock, with very few seats vacant. After the call of the roll, and the organization of both Houses, Mr. G. L. Dudley, the Governor’s private secretary, was announced a8 the bearer of a special message from His Excellency Gov. Jarvis. The message was in substance the same as that given to the State press, about the time of the issue of the Governor's proclamation convening the Legislature in extraordinary session. It ‘touched only on the proposed sale of the Western North Carolina Railroad, and in conclu- sion recommended no general legislation. The Governor regarded the extra session as having been called for » specific pnr- pose, and urged that its duties would be discharged when it lind acted on the ques- tion he had felt it his duty to present to tin the name and in the interest of the people of North Carolitia. A canvass among the members reveals the fact that there is an almost universal desire that the Western North Carolina Railroad shall be sold, but the original Best bill will doubtlegs go by the board... The desire for the sale by no means commits the members to the text of the Best bill, and objections to it are urged at every point, and this among the warnrest tfriends of the sale. A new Dill has been drawn, which has met with Mr. Best’s approval, and that of Hon. Geo. Davis, and Judge Thos. Ruffin, will be presen- ted, and it will no doubt meet many of the objections to the Best bill. It has not yet been given to the public, but will probably come up for action at once. It is said to be much more favorable to the State than the origival Best bill. Senator W. T. Dortch, of Goldsboro, introduced a bill, just after the reading of the Governor’s message, to stop all appropriations to the Western North Carolina Railroad, and another to sell the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail- road, and the Western North Carolina Railroad, by a commission composed of the Treasurer of the State, and two other citivens. A resolution in the House of Represen- tatives, not to go into general legislation was laid over for the present. Nothing was done in either house to- day, except the passage, by both houses, of a resolution creating a committee of twenty-five members—tifteen from the House, and ten from the Senate—to whom the whole railroad question should be referred. The committee has not yet been announced. Caucuses of both houses were held this evening, and it is said that a strong etfort is being made by the Republicans to get a combined opposition to the proposed sale, but the best informed Democrats think they will simply try to take advantage of circumstances. While there is much disagreement among members of the Legislature about the exact terms of the sale, there is an alinost universal sentiment that a sale can and ought to be made, if the pur- chasers will agree to such terms and re- strictions as will protect the citizens of the State from unjust discriminations, and give them reasonable freight tariffs. Raveran, March 16th, 9 p. m., 1880. Your correspondent has little to report so far. Both Houses of the Legislature adjourned early without doing anything of importance. iverything and every- body seems to be awaiting the action of the joint committee of twenty-five. This committee met this afternoon, and Sena- tor Dortch consumed the entire time ina strong specch in opposition to the sale of the Western North Carolina Railroad, as at present proposed, and in favor of the two bills introduced by him on yesterday. GC. M. Cook, of Franklin, is to follow him on the other side to-morrow, The out- look to-night is that the new Best bill will certainly be reported, but the indica- tions are that it will be a week hence be- fore any measure for the sale gets into such a shape as to incet all opposition. Raveicn, March 17th, 1880. The Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate this morning an- nounced the names of the members of the joint committee of twenty-five, to whom is referred the matter of the Western North Carolina Railroad. The committee is as follows. From the Senate: Leach, of Davidson; Davidson, of Buncombe ; Erwin, of McDowell ; Dortch, of Wayne; Graham, of Lincoln; Mebane, of Cas- well; Bryan, of Pender—Democrats ; Graham, of Montgomery; Everitt, of Forsyth ; White, of Perquimans—Repub- licans. From the House: Carter, of Bun- combe ; Cooke, of Franklin; Brown, of Mecklenburg; Cobb, of Lincoln; Cov- ington, of Union; Bryson, of Swain ; Lockhart, of Anson; Richardson, of Col- umbus; Vaugh, of Alleghany ; Bernard, of Pitt; Davis, of Catawba—Democrats ; Clark, of Craven; Davis of Madison ; Ellison, of Wake; Scott, of New Han- over—Republicans. It is believed that the Democrats composing the committee are in favor of the sale, with the exccp- tion of Messrs. Dortch and Richardson. It wasthought the objections of Mr. Dortch would be removed by the new “Best Bill,” but at a meeting of the com- mittee this afternoon, he took strong ground againstit. The committee is still in session, and it is impossible to ascer- tain anything further of the nature of its proceedings. THE QUESTION OF GENERAL LEGISLATION. Several: attempts have been made in the House to ascertain whether or not the Gen- eral Assembly would go into general legis- lation. A large number of members have bills which they hope to push through, and a strong effort will be made to repeal the general road law. The prevailing opinion seems to be that it would be unwise to de- ‘lelare absolutely that there should beno leg- |not been disappointed. islation other than relates to the sale of the Western North Carolina ‘Railroad, but the Democrats at least favor an adjournment the How much general legislation there shall be, will therefore depend upon when the com- mittee on the railroad is‘able to agree upon a report, . THE SCHOOL BILL INVESTIGATION, Both the House and the Senate agreed to- day upon resolutions inquiring into the causes of the failure of the speakers of the respective houses to sign the school bill. Both these officers asked that an investiga- tion be had. It is understood that what- ever may be the result of the investigation, the school bill will again be presented to both houses. ——~<-——___—_ A Billin Relation to the W. N.C. Railroad.

Sec. 4. This act shall be in force from its ratification. Mr. Dortch, of Wayne proposes to in- troduce the above. en Arrest of Train Assaulter. Detective Jack Wrenn, of Richmond, has been, for the past two weeks, work- ing up the case of the train depredations which have been going on between Thom- asville and High Point for over a year. The trains have been repeatedly fired in- to and rocked, and it has been impossi- ble to discover the miscreants, but when Detective Wrenn took charge of the mat- ter, the railroad men felt) confident that he wonld do something; and they have Last Saturday he arrested two men living between the places mentioned. Their names are Arthur Mendenhall and Mack Albertson. very moment the railroad question is settled. | The latter made a violent resistance when he was arrested, but afterwards confessed | to several of the depredations, and will | doubtless give State’s evidence against Mendenhall, and probably others, as it is thought that more than these were con- cerned in the outrages. They were taken to Greensboro from High Point, two hun- dred people assembled at the depot of the latter place to see the prisoners. had a preliminary hearing before Justice Mendenhall, of Greensboro, and were committed to jail in cefault of 81,000 bail. To fire on a train is probably about as mean a thing as a man can do, involving as it does two of the worst and most dan - gerous criminal features, undiscrimina- ting expression of malice and difficulty of detection, and itis to be hoped that the full measure of the law will be meted out to these men, if found guilty, of which there appears to be very little doubt.— Charlotte Observer. oo Kittep By AN Oat Srkep.—Ezra R. Hare, residing at No. 3 House avenue, was seized last Thursday with spasms and cramps, from which he recovered somewhat but was again attacked on Tuesday, when Dr. Akin was called, who found the man on his arrival in a state of collapse (or nearly pulseless). The pa- tient rapidly sank and died Tuesday night. Yesterday Dr. Akin held an atop- sy of the case, which revealed some nov- el and interesting facts. It appears that at some time Mr. Hare had swallowed an oat, which entering the stomach, had en- tered the appendix, or blind sac, situated at the base of the aseending colon. The oat, after lodging in the appendix, caus- ed ulceration of the organs of the sto- mach in immediate contact with the ap- pendix. The oat finally worked its way through and perforated the appendix, which, combined with the ulceration, caused death.— Troy (NV. ¥.) Whig. <—- Rev. Dr. Deems had quite an adventure whilst in England, according to one of the leading London papers. He was able to rescue from death the little son of a gentle- man, a Mr. Hoge, whose kind hospitalities he was enjoying. The boy had caught fire, when his screams were heard. Dr. Deems was sitting with the family, the host being absent. He rushed to the kitchen and found the boy enveloped in flames. With rare presence of mind he took in the situation. He pulled off his coat, in which were his let- ters of credit, passes, etc., and throwing it around the lad, saved him from a horrible death. Pore The weather has even outdone Venor’s prophecy.

The pith of the stalk has been hardened, until the close obser- ver would fail to distinguish it from pine or fir wood.

OVERMAN, HOW WATCHES ARE MADE. It will be apparent to any one, who will ex- amine a SOLID GoLp Watcu, that aside from the necessary thickness fur engraving and pol- ishing, a large proportion of the precious met- al used, is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so tar a8 UTILITY and beauty are concerned, In James Boss’ PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity and strength produced at from one-third to one-half ot the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most simple nature, as follows: A plate ot nickle composition metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of solid gold solder- ed one on each side. ‘The three are then@ass- ed between polished steel rollers, ard the re- sult isa strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., ure cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sofficient- ly thick to acimit of all kinds of chasing, en- graving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried nntil worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold. This is the only Case Made with Two Plates of Solid Gold & Warranted by Special Certificate. For sale by J. & H.

These cylinders are in the mills openly erected for this very purpose. And the committee are informed that jobbers in the coffee trade buy laoge jlots, take it from the ship in which ithe coffee is imported to the mill, re- place it in the same bags, and ship it West, as the orignal importation. The committee say the adulteration 'of tea is notorious. Samples of gun- |powder tea, purchased in this city, examined under the microscope, seem- ed to be one-half Prussian blue; and in one hundred parts only enough |was found to give the decoction the smell of tea. The report, says Bildad, in the State, to whom we are indebted for this synopsis, also treats of the adul- teration of syrup, milk, butter, sugar and flour. It is time, indeed, that some action should be taken in this matter. We do not know much about it, but we are told that “the spirits” are getting to be very bad, none being absolutely reliable that is not blockade. That one half of the gunpowder tea ‘should be Prussian blue is doubtless the reason why so many of our friends who are known tea drinkers look so blue when pay day comes.

Wah-yah-kah-to-ga’s Farewell to {Home. The Removeal of North Carolina Indians. “Tell us the story of Standing Wolf!” cried eager voices, as we gathered around the fire. “The Major” slowly filled and lighted his pipe, and thus began, in a sort of reverie, as if the name had carried him far back in- te the past; “Yes that was asad year for the Indians—'38—and for the white man too, at.least those of us who had any sym- pathy with them. It was a barbarous deed,” he said slowly, as he shook his head, ‘and I took part in that piece of inhumanity !” ‘Were you in the army ?”” I received full pay as a soldier, and the Government gave mea grant of one hun- dred acres of land. “The Cherokees in North Carolina, South Carolina, part of Tennessee and Georgia, were not in favor of the treaty of 1835, stip- ulating for their removal West, and grant- ing all their lands tothe whites. They heard that it was a sickly couutry, and fear- ed they would die. They allowed themsel- ves to be influenced by men who pretended to be their friends—but who were really actuated by selfish motives—to make no preparation for their removeal, believing that if they did not want to go they would be left unmolested. “The Government allowed them till May, 1838, to leave, and then at great expense sent soldiers to drive out those who still lingered *round their homes. things were hunted down like wild beasts, driven in gangs into the forts, and men, women and children, penned up like hogs.

Corre- THE RADICAL PARTY. The cool audacity with which the Rad- ical party attempts to inveigle the people into a support of its measures and its leaders, with a view of achieving a signal triumph this year, is refreshing in the highest degree to those well posted in the rise and progress, history, record, and crimes of radicalism. It requires great cheek and boldness for a party, or an in- dividual, whose record is reeking with claims to merit and consideration, before the public. But the Radical party and its leaders are very striking exceptions to the general rule. The more infamous the re- cord or incompetent the candidate, the more persistent the effort to deceive the people and obtain frem them a new lease of power. It is the grossest effrontery for the party, collectively or individually, to come before the people at all laying claims to merit, or fitness for positions of trust and honor in the face of the mon-— strous crimes which smell to heaven and which it has perpetrated against the con- stitution of the country, against law and _ liberty, the rights of the citizens, and the well-being and good order of society. When we see with what pertinacity the Radical wire-pullers ply their ingenious | schemes to entrap the listless masses and | secure their votes for the retention of Radical] office-holders, and for the promo- ! tion of radical principles, we are so much overcome for the moment as almost to forget that these leaders and this party | are respousible for all the bitterness, all the wrongs, all the desolation, all the war, ' all the blood that have afflicted and curs- | ed our country for the last quarter of a century. Lest some good Democrat be- deceived by the insidious approaches and vily-tongued flattery of these interested representatives of this bastard child of Puritanie hate and oft-defeated Federal- ism, we will enumerate a few of the crimes — with which it has blurred the fairest pages _ of American history. It was Puritanic hate, subsequently developed into Radi- | calism, that first taught tbe doetrine of secession and threatened to pnt it into practice : wrong, that stole the poor negroes from the jnngles of Africa, tirst made slaves of. them, then sold them to the South, and- | finally, in defiance of all law robbed the | Southern people of this species of proper- | ty. We say robbed the people of this property, for it was as clearly a robbery | as any act ever committed by Capt. Kidd, or that of any other of the most desperate | brigands who ever trod the deck of a- piratical craft. It was Radicalism which, | after robbing the South, robbed the freed- | men of their hard earned dimes through that most infamous of swindles, the Sav- ings Bank. It was Radical-abolitionism that inaugurated the war as early as 1838, | by declaring through the public prints | that, “slavery must be abolished, if not by the fear of the sword, then by the sicord itself.” It was blood-thirsty, rapacious, tyrannic Radicalism tbat prosecuted the most unnatural war of modern times, un- til more than a million innocent men had been slaughtered and the wail of the widow and the cry of the orphan were to be heard througout all the land ; that des- olated and impoverished the Southern country, burned Southern homes and Southern cities, insulted and outraged Southern women, robbed them of their jewelry and their clothing, and perpetra- ted thousands of other nameless crimes that would have disgraced the Van- dals of the fifth century, or the predatory bands of Attilla the Hun. It was Radi- calism that refused to exchange prisoners It was Yankee greed, radical | overthrew sovereign State governments and established in their stead satrapies or military despotisms, and in a time of profound peace suspended the writ of habe- as corpus, arrested and threw men into fil- thy dungeons and dragged them before drum-head eourts martial to be tried for trumped up offences. It was the Radical party that dispersed the Legislatures of great sovereign States and made the civil subservient to military authority, dis- franchised the best and purest men in the country and set over them their former slaves. It was the Radical party that sent an army of carpet bag thieves to rob and oppress the people in their impover- ished and helpless state. It was the Radical party that organized the Union Leagues to get up riots and disturbances for political purposes. It was the Radical party that enacted the infernal so-called Recoustruction and forced them down the throats of the people with the bayonet. It was the Radical party that passed the most notable of all the atro— cious fulminations, known as the ‘‘Enforce- ment Act.” This diabolical measure eclipsed any thing in the celebrated Sedi- tion Act of 1798, under the elder Adams, iv its direct attacks upon public liberty. It was the Radical party that committed the crowning infamy of the age by stealing the Presidency in open defiance of law and expressed public sentiment, and scating in the presidential chair a man who had. been defeated by the ballots of more than five hundred thousand white freemen. It is the Radieal party that is still] laboring to do away with our government of laws and liberty and toerect instead a centralized despotism. Yea, under the manipulations of Radical office- | polders the Federal Government which is laws many crimes, to press with much grace, of war. It was the Radical party that! but the agent and creature of the States, is made to oppress the people and over- ride the State laws, and disregard State authority, while a host of supervisors of elections keep guard over our ballot boxes, and an army of mercenary minions ride up and down the country destroying the people’s property and murdering and op— pressing freeborn citizens with impunity. | Every one well acquainted with the nefarious and saguinary acts of Radical- ism knows fall well that this enumeration does not cover an hundredth part of its crimes. Yet the party which perpetrated these monstrous deeds of violence and wrong is still in power. Many of the men who sowed the seeds of hatred between the North and the South is still holding high places of trust. Men who endorse these acts of villainy and injustice, who organized the Union League for the base purposes before stated, who shout them- selves hoarse over Radicalism at given signals, and who serve the more conspica- ous and venal leaders, as pimps and wet- nurses, are here iv our midst. Yea, are hol- ding offices of trust and emolument by the grace“and favor of men ealling themselves Democrats and claiming to love justice, equity and truth. When we think of the liberty, peace, prosperity, and happiness that prevailed everyhwere before the Radical party of fraud, violence and blood came into power, and then draw a picture of the poverty wrought, the wrongs inflicted, the crimes perpetrated against the liberty of the people, the soyereignty of the States, our free institutions, and social order—can we any longer doubt that it is our imperative duty to drive this party from place and power. A govern- ment of force—a sort of centralized des- potism—has been erected over the ruins of our old Democratic system of Jaw and liberty. Under the old Democratic sys- tem the people ruled and the government was their agent: Under Radicalism, tbe government rules and oppresses the peo- ple, and the people are but its supple tools and subjects. Is their any wonder we have hard times, and thieves and ty- rants filling high places. Look at the ‘great and lamentable changes that these rascals have wrought and say what pun- _ishment is due to men who have planned and effected such ruin. These despera- does are just as capable of doing mischief now as ever, and just as much bent on doing it. Give them a few more years of powcr and a complete overthrow and de- struction of our free institutions will have been accomplished. Then the people must wake up and drive the thieves and despots from power. Letevery democratic paper in the land begin to tell the simple but terrible truth of our wrongs from this day—to tel) it without stint and without mercy to the culprits. Let Democratic clubs be formed in every town and han- let, in every township and county in the State: distribute democratic newspapers ‘and documents, let Democratic speak- | ers go forth and tell the unvarnished story of Radical crimes and our wrongs and it will not be long before the people will | change this downward tendency to ruin and put new and better men at the helm.— Salisbury Examiner. AG To avoid much useless matter usually given in the regular reports of Legislative proceedings, we prefer in our account of that body to give the following special re- | port From the Charlotte OBSERNER. Affairsat the State Capital---Letter From our Staff Correspondent. The confusion which resulted from the re-assembling of a Legislature that never ex- pected to meet again, having cleared away, | the situation here is more easily ascertained, /and can now be more definitely defined. For the first two days it was not known | whether or not it would be possible to enact any new laws or repeal any already in exis- , tence, and for this reason many members ) who came to Raleigh with instructions from | their constitency to do this or repeal that, have becn on the anxious bench, and it was | even difficult to get some to talk on the sub- ' ject for the consideration of which the Leg- islature was called tegether, To-day (Wed- nesday), however, it is pretty well settled that just so much gencral legislation will be gone into as can be gotton rid of before the committee of twenty-five makes its report on. THE RAILROAD QUESTION. This committee meets with open doors in the Senate chamber, and two-thirds of the members of both Houses attend its sessions. Indced it is understood that the fight will be made in the coomittee room, Mr. Dortch’s speech is generally regarded as a very strong one, but the objection urged against it is that his plan—shown by his bill already published—is impracticable. ‘True, Mr. Dortch has shown us,” said a member of the committee, ‘that there are several very ser- ious objections to the sale of the property, but what is he going to do with it¢ Con- vict labor can’t be worked without money. The State certainly will not appropriate an- other cent towards its completion; the road don't pay its own expenses, and hence can’t furnish any funds. It’s perfect folly to talk about the State being able to make money out of it, if privateindividuls can. Experi- ence teaches the very reverse of this.” The committee has jut met for the second time, and it is understood that Capt. C. M. Cooke, of Franklin, a member of the board of internal improvements, will open the ar- gument ayainst Mr. Dortch’s position. Gen. Leach, who introduced the Best bill, will also speak shortly on the same side. This bill, by the way, has received an amendment since it was published. Just before it was introduced, Mr. J. S. Henderson, of Rowan, had an interview with Mr. Best, during which he induced him to withdraw the clause exempting the property from taxa- tion, and in this form it is now before the committee. THE REPORT. Of course it is impossible, as yet, to de- termine when the committee will make its report, but very few are disposed to doubt what that report will be, when it is made, unless there are some very important devel- opments in relation to the proposed contract with Mr. Best within the next few days. Most of the members of the committee, and indeed most of the members of the Legis- lature, had made up theif minds on the rail- road question before they arrived in Ral- eigh. Itis believed by some that a minori- ty report will be made by Mr. Dortch and his frends, and it is possible that the Re- publican members of the committee will vote with the minority. POSITION OF THE REPUBLICANS. I asked a leading Republican of the House, Dr. Norment, of Robeson, if the Republican members would vote as a party against the sale. He said that he did not think they would, or at least no such deter- mination had been arrived at as yet. His own people, he said, were comparitively in- different on the subject. Hethen referred to the presence in Raleigh of another party, a Col. Fitch, of New York, who he under- stood had come for the purpose of looking after the road. But he was unable to make any propostion for the reason that he had not examined into its affairs, condition, &c. other sources, I learn that Col. Fitch is a lobbyist, but what is to lobby for against has not yet appeared. Col. Humphrey, of Goldsboro, and one or two other Republi- cans of the east are here, and it is believed by a good many Democrats that they come for the purpose of organizing the Republi- can members against the sale, THE VIRGINIA MIDLAND. Col. Buford, President of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, is here. Among the reports that one hears flying around is that he comes to ask the Legislature to place some sort of restriction on the Virginia Mid- land Railroad to prevent the extension from Danville to Charlotte, and that the argu- ment to be used is that this railroad will very scriously affect the North Carolina Railroad, now a valuable property to the Stete. As yet there is nothing in the action of Col. Buford, beyond the mere fact of his presence in Raleigh at this time, upon which to base such a report. THE LEGISLATURE. The sessions of both branches to-day were very short, being taken up with the consid- eration of matters of local intcrest to the several members. The Republicans are urg- ing that some action be taken in relation to the seat of young Etheridge, of Bertie, which is contested by a colored man named Robbins. This matter was before the com- mittee on privileges and elections at the last session, but was not aeted on, owing to the failure, until just before the adjourn- ment, of the contestant, to furnish the proper proof. Both Etheridge and Rob- received pay for attendance at the last session. The whole question has been referred to the judiciary committee. TURNER—THE GENTLEMAN FROM ORANGE. “The gentleman from Orange” is still the conspicuous member of the House. As of old his head is turned against every other man’s, and especially against those of the powers that be. The affable persistency with which he comes forward on every ques- tion—the curious wixture of blandness and boldness, affords a diverting spectacle, and every head is turned when the gentleman from Orange is recognized by the chair. To- day he presented and asked to have read a protest against the organization of the House. The protest was lenthy, and was based upon the fact that the occasion for calling the Legislature together in extra session was not “extraordinary.” Webster and Worcester were invoked in proof of his position, Lut the speaker disregarded these authorites, and the protest was not entcred on the record. He was not in the least dis- concerted, and a few moments later remark- ed to a party of gentlemen standing in the lobby that if he coulda’t prove ina half hour that Jarvis was ring-struck, he would agree to go to the penitentiary for life, pro- vided they'd stop Holden and Heck from teaching Sunday school in that institution. bins JOSIAIL IN CONCLUSION. After spending three days with the Leg- islature, the time allotted for my stay in Raleigh, I feel no hesitation in predicting that the Western North Carolina Railroad will be sold, an to Mr. Best, but there will be no hasty action, and the interest of the State will be as zealously guarded as the circumstances wiil permit. —_—__~e-——_. — Last week a heavily laden freight car got loose from the train at the top of the Blue Ridge, on the Western North Carolina Rail road,and started back to Salisbury at the rate of about 120 miles per hour, and, to make still better time, when it came to a curve, some three miles from where it started, it left the track te go a near way, and was burst up, with several hundred dollars worth of goods. —Asheville Juurnat.

Vote as You Pray. . Let Christian men who neglect their political duties, or what is as bad if not worse, surrender their right of private judgment to a little coterie of “professiqnals,” ringmakers and ring-masters, read the following timely and weighty words from the Richmond Christian Advocate : “When Paul wrete to the Churches in the provinces, his readers had no more to do with the Roman govern- ment than the mules that trotted along the highway. Nero wasa hid- eous tyrant and wild beast; but the people had no voice in public affairs and no responsibility for the bad deeds of their rulers, America is not Rome under the Czsars. The citizens here must bear the odiam of an unworthy govern- ment. Had Paul addressed an epistle to the Churches of the United States he would have written in a different strain from that toa people where suffrage did not select governors. If Christians spend vast sums in erecting Churches, procuring religious speakers, and for disseminating moral intelligence, why shall they not exert their personal and political influence in the same direction? It is charged as asign of hypocrisy or cowardice that the Christian will not “vote as he prays.” The Christian voter must answer to his God for his ballot.. He can only quit himself of his great responsibility by using his franchise to good ends. The drinking-houses organize,work, speud money to enlarge their privil- ege for making drunkards, ruining families, increasing crime and police expenses. This is done for purely sel- fish euds—the lust for money. Shall not the good citizens, in the interest of sobriety, public morals, for the protection of their fellow-men from temptation and harm, exert them- selves? Supiveness would give the lie to their Christian profession, and bring reproach upon their patriotism. A hundred votes at the polls will often suppress more evil than a hun- dred sermons. We have heard of ‘practical poli- tics;’ it is time for,practical religion. No party ever won in a campaign by re- lying upon the set speeches of its ora- tors at the Court Houses. The battle is fought ont in the cabins in the mountain gorges. The last voter is seen, talked to, and brought to the polls. Brilliant sermons, in costly Church- es, have their use. Christianity, to win, must come to piain work and common-sense. It ought to meet its antagonists in the canvass and at the polls. The man who prays, “Thy kingdom come,” out to throw his whole influence as a citizen in favor of whatever will hasten the coming of that kingdom. The Christian man too indifferent even to go to the precinct where the rotten politician and his drunken allies, by the absence of good men, force themselves into power and patronize debaucherics—that man is of the sort that God loathes: “I will spew them out.” The Uncertainty of Riches and Honor. Sad Death of an Ex-President’s Niece.—Ten years ago Miss Jennie Tyler, the grand-niece of ex-Presi- dent Tyler, was one of the belles of Washington, and her death is now an- nounced in a hovel at Brooklyn, with a prospect of her remains being inter- red at the public expense. She was a daughter of William W. Tyler, and was born in Richmond, Va., in 1848, and lived with her father who was on Gen. Lee’s staff, and was reduced to poverty by the results of the war. Jennie, however, was attractive in person, well educated, and inherited a fortune through a Californa relative and became a favorite in Washing- ton society. In 1872 she lived in Brooklyn, and was enticed into a se- cret marriage with a man she met at a fashionable boarding-house. He se- cured possession of her fortune and it was discovered that he had another wife in Buffalo. A suit for the re- covery of the money failed because she had nothing left to prosecute the Se scoundrel, and, being estranged from her family, could obtain no help. In 1875 she was married to Wm. Col- lins, a laboring man under the Brook- lyn Gas Company. Until a year ago her married life was compartiyely happy, but her husband lost his em- ployment, and poverty and consump- tion ended berunhappycareer. Anoth- er warning to “fast” girls! She had everything needful for happiness, but couldn’t stay contented at home, oe An Oriental Mesmerizer. Strange stories come from India of the feats performed by a native mes- merizer named Buni, whose mignetic power would appear to be found quite irresistible by the lower animals upon which he exclusively exerts it. He gives seances, to which the public are invited to bring all manner of fero- cious and untamable wild beasts, and holds them with his glittering eye. In a few seconds they subside into a condition of cataleptic stiffness, from which they can only be revived by certain passes which he solemnly exe- cutes with his right hand. A snake in a state of virulent irritation was brought to Buni by a menagerie proprietor, enclosed in a wooden cage. When deposited on the platferm it was writhing and hissing fiercely. Buni bent over the cage and fixed his eye upon its occupant, gently waving his hand over the serpent’s restless head. In less than a minute the snake stretched itself out stiffen- ed, and lay apparently dead. Buni took it up and thrust several needles into its body, but it gave no sign of life, A few passes then restored it to its former angry activity. Subse- quently a savage dog, held in a leash by its owner, was brought in, and, at Buni’s command, Jet loose upon him. As it was rushing toward him, brist- ling with fury, he raised his hand, and in a second the fierce brute drop- ped upon its belly as though stricken by lightning. It seemed absolutely paralyzed by some unknown agency, and was unable to move a muscle un- til released from the magnetizer’s spell by a majestic wave of his hand. ——————_~<a-______ A Future Feminine Diary.

The governor of the jail is a female, and as a matter of course, favors the male prisoners. Asked for a book, and was furnished with a work upon Roman law. Cried myself to sleep over a passage which told me that no one could obtain the privileges of a citizen without accepting a citizen’s duties and responsibilities.

This syndicate has ° deposited a very large amount of money as an earnest that they mean business. North Carolina is now building by convict labor two linea. One of them leads from Wilmington via Salisbury, Morganton, and Ashe- ville to Paint Rock, where it will connect with the Morristown road. The other leads from-Cumberland, at the head of navigation above’ Wil- mingtou, via Greensboro, Mt. Airey and Ore Knob, toward Bristol, it may be. Both of these lines look to Cumberland Gap, in order tu reach Louisville and Cincinnati, and the New York syndicate means to pur- chase one of them. If the Greensboro, Mount Airy and Ore Knob be taken by them, they will wish to come to Bristol and use our Narrow Guage railroad line to the Gap. In this con- . nection we wish to say to these gen- tlemen that we are pushing our Nar- row Guage road ahead with eighty convicts now, and a prospect of more, We have over one hundred thousand dollars that will soon be in shape as subscriptions, and we shall be half way to Estillville with the grading before the close of this year. Our line penctrates the largest beds of iron and coal on this continent, and its completion will show an iron boom in the counties of Scott, Lee and Wise, that will make one’s head swim to contemplate. Experts declare the quality of the iron the very finest in the world. There are only the Lake Superior and the northern New York deposits like it. In amount we ean beat them all. The distance to Cum- , berland Gap from Bristol is sbows 100 miles. Wehave at least four companies of capititalists who are anxious to open negotiations with us for the completion of ‘the road. To our own people we wish to say that quick movements are necessary. Not for one moment can we allow the movement to stand still. This connection with theceast at Wil- mington, N.C., via Cumberlaud Gap and Bristol, and Ore Knob and Greens- boro, is the straightest possible line for Louisville and Cincinnati. Take the map and make the line, and the reader will be surprised that be never saw it before. THe Rewarp.—It is more than likely that the reward offered by Gov. Jarvis for the capture of Bob Pharr and refused Policeman Hill and others on the technical ground that having killed Pharr in the at- tempt to arrest him they did not ef- fect his capture, will be given them by special act of the Legtslature.

They propose to take up all these roads, subject to all the debts and mortgages upon them, and pay the State $750,000 in cash. They propose to tini-l the Western N. C. to Paint Rock by the year 1831. They do not propose to build the Ducktown branch, but promise to iron and eqnip it ——— tie aud bridge it. this offer is able to do what they propose, it must, we think, haul a good deal of the wind out of the sails of the Best Syndi- cate.

As impor- tant as this truth is there are but few who really seem tu appreciate its magni- tude; but because grass springs sponta- neously from the carth, from year to. Sear, only requiring to be harvested, it is taken into barns and fed to stock without any estimate of its value; and so it has come to be too generally counted: out, or not counted at all, among the important products of the farm for which prevision should be made in the general lay-out of the year’s work. ‘This is unquestionably a great error, and one which calts for amendment, More attention should be given to the production of gyasa, both as to quality and quantity. For the better the quality the better the results in its use; and the larger the quantity the greater the profits of the farm. We have been led ‘into fiiese remarks by the fact that ONE HUNDRED CAR LOADS of grass have been shipped from this point sinee the 30th of September last. The larger part of it was very common meadow hay, which seldom brings a good price in the markets simply because it is not worth much except as a last resort. And yet there is no doubt the quality of our mealow hay can be greatly improved and the quantity vastly increased. Farm- ers should find ont the ways to do this. But the chief of all in this relation, they shonld give more attention to the fine cultivated grasses,—orchard, clover, timo- thy, &c. These grasses raised on good uplands are worth twice or three times as much as our coarse meadow hay, -and when properly managed yield two or three times more to the acre. Indeed, they are more valuable than cotton or tobacco. Cees asap c ae There is a family of people at Conover, Catawba county, named Jennings, who have supported themselves for years, it is thonght, by artful begging through the mails, They sueceeded in deceiving the Graphic, a New York literary journal of note, whose editor became the medium through whom the gifts of charitable peo- ple in that city were sent out to this fam- ily. These gifts summed up handsomely, and were in response to a moving story of affliction and destitution published in the Graphic under the following attract- ive heading, displayed in capital letters : “Destitution: Heart Rending Story. The South Starving and Appealing for Aid Some how or other the benevolent heart of the Graphic was, after a while, disturb- ed by donbts of the genuineness of this story of distress. Southern newspapers were silent on the subject of a “starving South.” They didn’t even complain of short crops, dry meadows, low waters, and not much of the scarcity of money. And then the Graphic doubtless happen- ed to remember that asa general thing, there are no beggars in the South. In view of these facts the editor opened a correspondence with some reliable man in Catawba, as we learn, and by him was informed that Catawba was all right—no body starving there; but horses, cows, pigs, and sheep were in great plenty and in first rate order. ‘Thereupon, the Graph- tc bundled up the giits he had received and piacing them in the hands of a trus- ty agent, sent him all the way to Conover to look into the business with an eye for the fair thing—honesty in begging. The agent called on the Jenningses, and found them living in very comfotable style— nice little house, well furnished, even to a parlororgan. He looked for the starva- tion about Conover, Hickory and Newton and didn’t find it; but on the contrary found a beautiful, thriving country aboun- ding with the good blessings of Heaven. With the best grace he could command, he returned with his gifts and ere this has reported to the Graphic, all in a word —‘solc 7 And now they say the Jen- ningses will have to go to work or change their foraging ground. —_—— 2S 2 ee ANOTHER NEW Srct.—A new sect, de- nominating itself ‘The Salvation Army,” is just beginning to work itself into public notice in New York and Philadelphia. The organization is in ettective strength in London, Eugland, and has just sent over a corps of officers to this country, to co-opeiate with its members in the cities above named. We have seen nothing of the creed professed, which probably com- prises nothing new. ‘The chief policy of the organization seems to be to carry the Gospel to those who will not attend the churches to hear it—in lanes and high Ways, to theatres and saloons, and where- together to hear it. We quote—The army now embraces 122 corps, directed by 195 officers. Meetings are held every week in 180 theatres, dance-halls, warehouses, ete., in London, aud the aggregate num- ber of these mectings annually is 45,000.

It will be apparent to any one, who will ex- amine a SOLID GOLD Watcu, that aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and pol- ishing, a large proportion of the precious met- al used, is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary sulidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so tar as UTILITY and beauty are concerned. In James Boss’ PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity and strength produced at from one-third to one-half of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most siinple nature, as follows: A plate ot nickle composition metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of solid gold solder- ed one on each side. The three are then pass- ed between polished steel rollers, ard the re- sultisa strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &e., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sufficient- ly thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, en- graying and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold. This is the only Case Made with Two Plates of Solid Gold & Warranted by Special Certificate. For sale by J. & H. HORAG, and all other Jewelers. 22:ly 22:tf.

RB. “THE REGULATION.” The echoes of the Indian war-whoop had not died away before the muttering of an- other storm was heard over the hills and valleys of Orange and Rowan Counties, This is what is known in the history of North Carolina as the war of the “Reguua- TION.” It can scarcely be called a war, and yet it rises above the dignity of a riot. it was/tather the first blind, unorganized ris- ing of the spirit of liberty against a long train of oppressive acts, for which there was ng cones and of which there appeared to be noend. Ags the men of Rewan were to some extent connected with this struggle, gome On each side, it will not be amiss to give a brief sketch of its rise and sad term- ination—though a detailed account would exceed the limits proposed in these papers. As the first factor in this problem. we have a liberty loving population, who came to the wilds of North Carolina for the ex- press purpose of escaping from political and ecclesiastical oppression. Such were the early refugees from Virginia, who settled on the Albemarle Seund; such the hardy Scotch who came frogs the Highlands to the banks of the Cape-Fear; sach the Swiss and Pala- tines on the Neuseand Trent, and in a pecu- liar sense sach were the Scotch Irish and Germans of ancient Rowan, Orange and Mecklenburg. These, or their fathers, had once felt the weight of the oppressor’s iron crashing out their liberties—al- most their manhood; and having once suf- fered they were jealous of the approaches of tyranny in their new homes. As the next factor we have the most wretched system of misgovernment of mod- ero times. This misgovernment began with the cumbrous and Utopian Constitution pre- pared by Locke and Shaftsbury, having in it the germs of a provineial nobility—land graves and caciques—totally uncongenial to the wild and free spirit of the people. And such governors as Seth Sothel, George Bur- ringtonand Richard Everard were a reproach to humanity and a stench in the nostrils of decency. The testy and prosy Irishman, Gov. Dobbs, the warlike cad ambitious Tryon, and the incapable Josiah Martin, who enacted the last scenes in the drama of the royal government, were peculiarly cal- culated to irritate and annoy the people, to aygravate and sting to rebellion a people far Jess independent and intelligent than the inhabitants of North Carolina. Nor could have peuned us up ip Salisbury with the cows and hogs, which are enjeying all the privileges of citizens without paying any | tax to support the city government. [sit | hot awful ?

When res- cucd, just after the wagon turned over, he was almost gone, and was only saved by being rolled on the ground. Mr, Robt. Orrell, who, you remember, owned the team, is lying in a critical condition, and is not expected to live long. So that in from this cause. I regret to state that in the seareh for the body of Miss Hampton (which has net yet been found), several votdes have been found, which affords ground for conjecture that those aboard had been indulging in driuk ; and in this, as in sO many other cases on record, liquor is to blame. Regrets crowd fast upon us, when we think of this fearful and sudden mortality and Know that whiskey hada hand in it. “O, that neu should put an4 euvemy in their mouths, to steal away their brains! that we should, with joy, revel, pleasure and applause, trausform ourselves into beasts!” “Every inordinate cup is unblessed, and the ingredient is a devil.” It is rumored that Miss Hampton was tied in the wagon. It appears that Robt. Orrell and Johu Hardman had gone her security to appear at this term of Davie Court, and that they had her tied to be delivered to the sheriff. But this report is denied—the trath will probably be known when the body is recovered, if it ever is, which seems now to be doubtful. It is also rumored that if Mr. Orrell re- covers he will sue the county tor damages; but the common opinion is that a suit in this case would be fruitless to the pros- ecutor. Of course this depends entirely on the facts which be may be able to es- tablish before the court, and the rebutting testimony. Itisa glorious privilege we enjoy to briug suit in a Court of Justice when it is believed we have good cause. A suiter should, however, consider well the points for and agaiust him, or he may come unt worsted iustead of mended. But these remarks are meant to be understovd as geveral and without special applica- tien to Mr. Orrell’s case, which is a mat- ter all hisown.

The struggle between the people of North Carolina and their foreign rulers began one hundred years before the yoke was thrown off, in 1609, when the “Grand Model,” was forced upon unwilling people and when the strangled the commerce of the infant colony. The struggle became more serious, when the “Parish Laws” were enacted, disalluw- ing all marriages to be celebrated by Dis- senting Ministers, and taxing the country for the support of a relicious system which was distasteful to an overwhelming majori- tv of the people. The obstinacy and nepo- tism of Governor Dobbs, added fuel to the flame. Governor Tryon was not a bigot, but his tastes and his expenses were princely. Aided by the blandishments of his eleyvant wife and her bewitching sister, Miss Esther Wake, Tryon secured from the cringing General Asseinbly an appropriation of 15- 000 pounds sterling, equal to nearly $75,000, for the erection ofa palace at Newbern more suitable for a Prince of the blood royal, than for the Governor of an infant provincial colo- ny. This palace was said to exceed in magnitfi- cence any structure of that day found upon ihe American Continent, and its erection ren- ‘ereda large increase of thetaxes necessary. Hut Fryon never did things by halves. He must needs make a military expedition to the land of the Cherokees, in order to run a dividing line of a few miles in length, and returned with the significant title bestowed by the Indians, of "THE GREAT WOLF OF Norra Carouina.” All this was very ex- pensive, and to supply the means, not only were the direct taxes increased, but the Governor required a share of the fees allow- ed to the various crown officials for their services. The crown officers, in their turn, taking the cue from the Governor, doubled or tripled their charges for every act done for the people. The lawyers also refused to serve their clients for the established fees, and thus closed up all the avenues to the temple of justice. In this emergency there arose the two persons necessary to bring on a collision. These two persons were a poet or ballad-monzer, and a popular leader. The rhymester was named Reduap Howell, a native of New Jersy, who occupied the position of oldfield school master somewhere on Deep River. He was the author of about forty sengs or ballads, in which he merci- lessly lampooned the extortioners and crown officers of the day. Prominent among these were Edmund Fanning, Esq., of Hillsboro, the Court Clerk and son-in-law of Gov. Try- on, and John Frohock, Clerk and Register in Salisbury. The fellowing effusion of How- ell’s upon these two officers affords a fair specimen of his political rhymes. “Says Frohock to Fanning, to tell the plain truth, When I came to this conutry I was but a youth, My father sent forme: I wa'nt worth a croas, And then may first study was to steal for a horse. I quickly got credit, and then run away, And hav’nt paid for him to this very day. Says Fanning to Frohock, ’us folly to ite, T rode an old mare that was blind of an eye: Five shtilings fn money [ had in my purse ; MY coat, it Was patch, but not much the worse; But now we've got rich, and its very well known, That w'll do very well if they’ let us alone.” By such rhymes as these, sung and repeat- ed from plantation to plantation, from the raising, log-rolling and corn-shucking, at every court and vendue, at every wedding and funeral, the minds of the people were wrought up to a high pitch of excitement and indignation aguinst the crown officers, and the lawyers. When this leaven had worked sufficiently a popular leader arose in the person of Her- man Husbands, from Sandy Creck, near the line between Guilford and Rowan—now in Randolph county. Husbands was by birth a Pennsylvania Quaker, and said to have been a relative of Benj. Franklin. He poses- sed great shrewdness of character, 2 natur- ally vigorous mind, and by boldly protest- ing against extortion upon all occasion, be won the regard of the multitude. By the influence, and under the guidance, of this man many of the people of Orange were in- duecd to associate themselves together, in bands, sometimes called ‘tthe mob,” some- times the “Sons of Liberty,” and at last thc “Regulators.” The first general or public meeting of Regulators was held at Mad- dock’s Mill, in Orange county, October 10, 1766. They proposed to consu!t concerning their grievances and the proper mode of se- curing redress. Fanning and other crown officers wére invited to be p-esent, but re- fused to come on some pretext or other. From this time sympathy with the “Sons of Libei ty” spread far and wide, and many peo- ple, not only in Orange and Guilford, but in Rowan, Mecklenburg and Anson counties wireready to venture into the same_per'l lous path. They first stated their grievances to the Governor and appealed to him for re- asa superior article for destroying and . lief. 'Te vromiscd what they asked, and ‘ , 7 out and posted up for public inspection. the officers re hed in their sleeves at the gallibility of the people, and went on de- manding the same, or larger fees. At lasta true bill was fuund against Edmond Fan- ning, for extortion in no less than six in- stances. When the trial came on at Hillsbo- ro, in 1763, Fanning pleaded guilty in each |.Lin count, and was fined—-siz pence and costs. Such a mockery of Justice, under the very eye of Tryon—for he was present—and in the ease of his son-in-law, plainly demon- strated that no relief was te be ex from the courts of justice. Phe very tain of justice was corrupt, and poured forth streams of bribery and oppression. The Regulators were maddened, and committed several acts of violence and lawlessness up- on the person of Fanning, and threatened to control the court by violence, and at their suggestion many refused to pay any taxes. But Governor Tryon was also alive to his own interest, and began to put into operation measures to allay the irritation of the pub- lic mind, and overawe the disaffected. One of these measures was a journey, or progress to the western countics, with a body of troops escorting him. In July 1768, he marched to the Yadkin River and crossing that stream, reached Salisbury on the 18th of August. After a brief stay he visited Capt. Phifer in Meckleuburg, (now Cabarrus) and from thence went to Capt. Polk’s, returning to Salisbury by the 25th, in order to review the troops, or militia of the County. Tere Col. Alexander Osborne called upon his Excellency for instructions concerning the parade, and read to him a letter from the Rey. Messrs. David Caldwell, Hugh McAden, Ienry Patillo, and James Creswell, Presby- terians, touching the conduct of the Regu- lators. These ministers labored in Guilford, Orange and Granville counties, and as Col, Osbore and the four ministers were of the same church, it is presumed that the tenor of the letter would be such as not to irritate the Governor against them. In fact, while these ministers sympathized with the peo- ple in their oppression, they appear to have done all in their power to prevent violence, and secure the restoration of peace and har- mony. Eleven companies appeared in Salisbury in this review—all except Capt. Knox’s, company, Whose sympathies appear to have been decidedly in favor of the regulators. Col. Wheeler states that this Capt. Knox was the maternal grandfather of James K. Polk, the President in after years of the United States. President Polk was born in Mecklenburg county, ten miles south of Charlotte, and his maternal grandfather, James Knox, resided also in Mecklenburg, in the Hopewell region, and it does not ap- pear probably that he was the Capt. Knox of the Rowan militia-ccompany that failed to appear at the Salisbury review. Still it may have been the same. Some of the Polk family, relatives of the President. were in after years, citizens of Salisbury, and their! dust lies under marble slabs in Oakgrove Cemetry, in Salisbury. From the Salisbury review Goy. Tryon Went to see the spot where in 1746 the com- iuissioners left of running the dividing line between the King's lands and Earl Gran- ville’s lands. He found the place about five or six bundred yards east of Coldweter Creek —on the present dividing line between Rowan and Cabarrus, He then paid a visit to Capt. Joha Paul Barringer, in Mecklen- bury, (now Cabarrus), drank freely of thy Cuptain’s rich wine, and tried his hand at mowing, with a Dutch seythe doubtless, the green meadows of Dutch Buffalo. The Grovernor then visited Col, Moses Alexan- der’s on Rocky River, and returning to Sal- isbury, spent cight days in the town and surrounding country, A gertleman, a sol- dier, a genial companion, his visit no doubt was one reason why Rowan county did pot enter more fully into the Regulation strug: ole, But while the policy of the governor stay- ed for a season the rushing of the torrent of revellion, it did not avert the final catastro- phe. Matters grew worse and worse, and in the spring of 1771 the Governor Icft New- bern a second time with a body of troops to enforce the laws and disperse the Regula- tors. At Tryon’s approach the Regulators were massed near the Great Alamance Riv- er, and here the long delayed collisioa took place on the 16th of May. It is not necessary in sketches of Rowan to enter into the details of this battle, if it can be called a kattle. For the Regulators were not or- ganized as a military force and had no offi- cers beyond the rank of acaptain. Many of them were unarmed and seemed to be rather spectators than soldiers, and the rest were armed with their hunting pieces, with enoush anmunition for a days sport in the woods. So perfectly unprepared were they to engage with the troops of the Governor that the Rev. David Caldwell, who was pres- ent, alter passing backward and forward several times vainly trying to prevegt blood- shed, at last adviscd the Regulators to sub- mit to any conditiens they could obtain, or disperse, ratber than engage in the hepe- less contest. It is said that Col. Fanning,better acquain- ted with the logomachy of the court-room than with the dangerous contests of the bat- 1 tle field, with drew his company at the be-| should be subjected fairly to the test of ginning of the firing. Husbands likewise, the leader of the Regulators, is reported to have followed his example, and saved him- self by flight. Thus the two men who did more than any others to excite to conflict, lett their adherents to fight it out without their presence. Some time previous to the conflict Gover- nor Tryon sent General Hugh Waddell to Salisbury with a division of troops from Bladen, Cumberland, and the western coun- tics. ‘These troops were to remain at Salis- bury until asupply of powder, flints. blunk- ets ete., from Charleston should reach them. But the “Cabarrus Blackboys” as they have been called, intercepted the convoy at Phi- fer's isill, three miles’ west of Concord, un- loaded the wagons, stove in the kegs of powder, tore up the blankets, and forming a huge pile, blew up the whole, The mili- tary stores failing to reach him, Gen. Wad- dell, with two hundred and fifty men, left Salisbuty and attempted to join Tryon in Orange or Guilford county. But when he had reached Potts’ Creek, about two miles cast of the Yadkin, he was confronted by a large force of Rowan Regulators, who threat- ened to cut his troops in pieces if he offered to join the army under Tryon. Calling a council of ofticers,he discovered that the Reg- ulators out numbered him by far, and that his men had no desire to engage in battle with their bret :ren. He wisely resolved to fall back across the River to Salisbury. This! was on the 10th of May, 1771, six days be- fore the battle of Great Alamance. A few days after the battle, Tryon marc¢h- ed to the East side of the Yadkin, where he effected a junction with General Waddell, and extricated him from his painful posi- tion. I must net omit to mentiog that on the 7th of March 1771, a public meeting was held in Salisbury, probably just betore Gen. Waddell arrived here, at which a large and influential committee was appointed to meet the Clerk, Sheriff. and other crown officers, and require them to disgorge their unlaw- ful fecs. These officers agreed to the de- mand of the committee and signed a paper to that effect. Mathew Locke and Herman Husbands, with others, were appointed on the committee to receive and distribute the unlawful fees, but it is doubiful whether any were ever rturned, After the affair at Ala- mance, the ruling party acquired additional power, and no doubt for a season longer, But ee make a proper es‘imate of the ctidracett the Regatation, a eeonans ‘in Atisqn: wad ROU.

It would seem rather to have been a good cause, prematurely, rashly and violently conducted, and led on by men in- capable of allaying or controlling the storm they had evoked, and the effect was (isas- trous, for Goy.

Death of Gen. William Davideon— Resolu- tion uf the Continental Congress— Monu- ment to Davidaon, (Correspondence of the Raleigh Observer.) WILMINGTON, March 11, 1880. _ Much interest is evinced in the approach- ing “centennials,” so called, of the battles of Cowpens and of Guilford Court House, which were fought on the 17th of January and 15th of March, 1781, (A. H. Stephens says 25th) respectively, and preparations are making for their proper observance, _ As pertinent to these interesting occasions, it might be well to know whether the reso- lution of the Continental Congress, given be- low, was ever acted upon. If not, and the writer is informed that it never has been, the time would seem to be propitious for the present Congress to carry into effect the wishes of their continental predeccssors, and it would be a graceful act on their part to do justice, though tardy, to. the memory of a revolutionary hero. . Perhaps it may seein good te Col. Steele, of the Charlotte district, to test the sense of Congress on the subject. Col. Steele is sug- gested, because it was within the present limits of his district that Gen. Davidson was | killed on the 1st of February, 1781, The death of General Win, Davidson was, | Burrer— in some sense, a connecting link between the battles of the Cowpens and of Guilford, for it was in a vain attempt to prevent Lord Cornswallis, then in hot pursuit of Morgan's troops, burdened with the spoils and pris- oners of the victory at Cowpens, from cross- ing the Catawba, that Davidson met his fate. came the action at Guilford; and as the “centennials” of those battles are to be eel- ebrated, it would be in keeping also to com- meme ate the fall of the patriot soldier of that by dedi-ating to his memory, upon tue hundreth anniversary of his death, the monument of which bis contemporaries adjudged him worthy. The following is taken from a sketch of Gen. Davidson in the memoirs of Licuten- ant-Colonel Henry Lee Light Horse Harry,” the father of Gen. Robert E- Lee: “The Congress of the United States, in gratitude for his services, and in commemo- ration of their sense of his worth, passed the following resolution: “Resolved, That the Governor and Coun- cil of the State of North Carolina be desir- ed to erect awonument, at the expense of the United States not exceeding the value of five hundred doliars, to the memory of the late Brigadier General Davidson, who commanded the militia of the District of Salisbury, in the State of North Carolina, and was killen on the 1st day of February last, fighting gallantly in the defence of the liberty and independence of these States.” D. -—— +p ——- —_ ~___ No Fenee Law. [From the Raleigh Observer. ] Hicksrorp, Va., March 13, 1220. “no fence law” has been and is yet much agitated in North Carolina. I) wish through your valuable paper to give to the advocates of this execrable measure a very significant fact for their considera- tion, and one which will help the farmers of the State to act: advisedly on this vital question. I presume it will be conceded that all theorics, to prove their value, experience and thereupon a just verdict rendered. ‘To this test I bring this the- ory. ‘Twelve years agoa few of the farm- ers in Greensville county, Virginia, ob- tained permission of the county Court to establish the “no fence law” in that portion of the county north of Meherrin River. For the first few years they seem- ed pleased and thought favorably of it. But as the trial lengthened they fonnd they bad made a monstrous mistake. Their stock was lessening in number and depreciating in quality, and their table comforts diminishing to an alarming degree. In short, the sys- tem worked so badly, was so detrimental to their interests every way, so destruc- tive to the peace and harmony of neigh- bors, and fraught with evils so numerous and finsufferable, that they resolved to, abolish this modern delusion and have the good old system of fences restored. To accomplish this a vote of the people had to be taken, and at the election re- cently held for this purpose only two votes were polled against it. Every vote in the district save two, was for the abo- lition of the no fence law. Here, now, Mr. Editor, we have a fairand exharstive illustration of the working of this bydra- headed monster. If twelve years is pot a reliable and conclu- aD experience of sive test, pray how many will it require ? Many of the farmers tell me that of all the numerous curses inflicted upon them by the results of the war, none world bear a comparison with this ne fence sys- {step over to a door-neighbors, since A little later, and growing out of the | further prosecution of the same pursuit, | Editor Observer :—<As the subject of a} * el Aa So tt 2h PMS Se SRS WS GPs eee Uxexpecre’ “Exopeiterr.

FORTHE WATCHMAN ° A DAY IN WOODWARD’S GARDENS. BY “Guss.” A large picnic party, composed prin- cipally of eminently respected mem- bers of the M. E. Church, were deco- rously disporting themselve in the or- namental grounds of Woodward’s Gardens. It happened that two of the company were entire strangers to almost every one there. Gustavus St, Alban, leaning discontentedly against a towering Australian gum tree, said, discouragingly to Mrs. St. Alban, who was contentedly watching a group of children rowing in a circular boat on the pond :— . “We're strangers in a strange land, Minerva. I see I have no knack for making myself notorious in San Fran- cisco ; unless, indeed, I follow the ex- smple of Brotherton Brother’s, which is’nt suitable or convenient. We've sojourned in this city a week, during which time I have been fortunate enough to secure two acquaintances. Let’s break up this monotony by a trip to Yosemite.” Gustavus looked as gloomy asa dashing manner, a handsome, gipsyish face, and wicked black eyes could possibly make him look. Mrs. St. Alban, who was*distractingly pretty, and constitutionally cheerful, replied with an amiable attempt at consola- tion :— “Don’t be misanthropic, Gus, dear. You’ll never be an agreeable husband until you overcome this unfortunate tendency. Here comes our new friend Mr. Merritt. He’s going to introduce to us that charming girl on his arm, I know.” Mr. St. Alban’s handsome face grew positively luminous at the prospect. Mr. Merritt came up to them, a self- possessed, good-looking young gentle- man, on whose arm hung an _ exceed- ly beautiful young girl. He greeted Mr. and Mrs. St. Alban with pleas- ant cordiality, and immediately pre- sented the young lady. “My sister Emma, Mrs. St. Alban; Mr. St. Alban, my sister.”’ “How providential that she’s his sister,” mentally ejaculated the admi- ring St. Alban. “By Jove! She’s al- together the handsomest woman in the garden. ‘Shall we go over the grounds? asked Mr. Merritt, agreeably. ‘Mrs. St. Alban, I shall be charmed to show you the sea-lions; and there’s & wonderful acquarium just complet- ed, filled with all sorts of fish and marine plants. If you have no ob- jection, we'll yisit them before we look at the animals.’ To this Mrs. St. Alban smilingly assented and took his offered arm, the fascinating Gustavus having al- ready taken the lovely Miss Merritt under his wing. Thus paired, appa- rently to the satisfaction of all, the four proceeded on their tour of in- Bpection together. Mr. Merritt was probably weary of the prosaic frater- nal duty of looking after his sister, and so abandoned himself to the de- lightful task of entertaining his sparkling companion. This lady was usually intelligent and attractive and evidently under no uncomfortable re- straint from fears of her husband’s jealousy. As for St. Alban, he was so devoted in his attentions to his girlish charge, and so neglectful of his pretty Minerva, that Emma began to look incensed, and said to herself indignantly :— ‘Sbe’s every reason to be jealous of that man. I wouldn’t trust him, out of my sight a minute if he were my husband, which, thank Heaven, he is not.’ Several hours passed, during which they had visited the picture- galleries the marvelous conservatories, the liv- ing and stuffed birds and animals, and finally wandered up to the tables set In & grove on a picturesque emi- nence ornamented with marble stat- ues here and there, and sat down to a delightful little lunch by themselves. All this time St. Alban’s language to Enma was extravagantly complimen- tary for a married man, and his eyes Jooked much more than he said. He seldom troubled himself about Mrs, St. Alban, except to ask carelessly sometimes ;— ‘Can I bring you anything, Min- nie, dear? Ice-cream, lemonade, 80- da-water—oommiand me.’ To which she would reply with what Emma considered en exaspera- ting mixture of sweetness and indul- gence. ‘I’m in need of nothing but the society of my husband, dear, But,’ with an arch look in her kindly eyes ‘J’m compensated for that by seeing you so thoroughly enjoying your- self,’ ‘Oh, you do!’ said Emma, scorn- fully, yet with great stateliness. ‘Per- mit me to assure you it’s my opinion that ‘you never will be. I think it’s dreadful for a married man to flirt.’ ‘So do I, Miss Merritt. (It is us- ually unbecoming in aladyto fly into a passion, but I beg to inform you that it only enhances your attract- ions.)’ ‘You flirt horridly, Mr. St. Alban. (How can I help flying into a passion when you persistently provoke me in- to losing my self-possession ?)’ ‘Upon my word I do not, my dear Miss Merritt. (I have no objection to your getting angry, asit gives ani- mation to our discussion.) I have meant every word I said to you to- day—and much more.’ ‘So much the worse,’ sighed good little Emma, now thoroughly convin- ced that here was an object of hopeless depravity. She rose with an air of determination. ‘You can do as you think proper, but I’m going to find Mrs. St. Alban.’ She inclined her head slightly to him as she walked away towards the conservatories. With innate courtesy, Gustavus attended her to the entrance, and left her. She entered the mag- nificent dome-shaped glass pavilion and paused to collect herself before a marble fountain, which threw diamond jets of water from the mouth of a gilded serpent over thickets ofriotous flowering plants. From the crystal crescent of the roof hung downward vivid scarlet bell-like blossoms, pend- ent from a web of tangled tropical vines that limbered up fluted pillar and lattice-frame to reach the ceiling overhead. A graceful Naiad stood by the fountain, on whose gleaming shoulders and arms the drops of spray sparkled like amethysts. Farther on through a vista jof flower-wreathed columns, and clusters of shrubs and palms opened the vestibule of the pic- ture-gallery. A view of the latter, with its frescoes and gilding, its stat- ues and bronzes, was indistinct and unsatisfactory in the distance. While she remained leaning against the rim of the massive circular basin surrond- ing the fountain, and gazing moodily into its limpid depths, where a hun- dred gold-fish were darting hither and thither, she was conscious that a mas- culine form brushed hastily past her and disappeared farther on in the gal- lery of paintings. She paid no attention to the occur- rence until she overheard Minerva’s well-remembered tones exclaiming in accents of surprise yet subdued joy: ‘My dear George! I’m so glad to see you! We had no expectation of your coming so soon. I’ve been so lonely, and so exacting of Gustavus’ society that he will be certainly jubilant over your return.’ She looked towark the gallery, and saw among strolling sight-seers, Mi- nerva standing with her white, little hand clasped fervently iu the palm of a fine-looking bearded man, whose dark eyes were bent upon her face, and seemed literally devouring its beloved lineaments. ‘Come away from these crowds,’ she heard him say, among much else that was rendered indistict!y by the distance. Then he led Mrs. St. Alban out into the conservatory, and stop- ped with her at its farther end. A moment after, Gustavus St. Al- ban walked rapidly past her up to the strange gentleman, about whose shoul- der he threw his arm with easy famil- larity, exclaiming, as Minerva had done, ‘My dear George! What pro- pitious gale has blown you here? Your last letter prepared us fora week’s waiting at the very least.’ The stranger’s low reply she could not catch, but Gustavus continued. ‘I here formally resign Minerva to your care, George. Not that I am weary of her by any means, but it’s not flattering toa fellow’s vanity, you know, to feel himself constantly compared mentally to an object so mucli superior to him as you certain- ly aretome in every physical and moral endowment, my dear George. There, I’m not much given to depre- ciating my own merits, and I trust you respect my unusual humility. I never aspired to be more than a re- flection of your extraordinary perfec- tions, anyhow.’ ‘That’ll_ do for this time, Gus,’ smiled Mr. St. Alban senior, as his younger brother paused tu regard him with a look of blended mirth and ad- miration. Emma attempted to steal away from the vicinity unobserved, but Gustavus suddenly remembered her and ina moment was standing by At this Emma’s cheeks flushed painfully, ande she mad herself very friged toward Mr. St. Alban by the time they all seated themselves on e little, rustic benches about the ta- ble. Sheeven madean attempt to sit beside Minerva ; but her brother pro- vokingly anticipated her, and paid no attention to the surreptitious pinch which she infllicted upon his elbow. When lunch was over Mrs. St, Al- ban begged the rest to amuse them- selves without her, as she was tired and would go and rest herself in the pictare-gallery awhile. Mr. Merritt looked disconsolate as the last glim- mer of her mauve silk disappeared in the shrubbery, and abruptly excusing himself to his sister and her compan- ion, walked deliberately off to smoke a cigar. Emma, being a very young lady of Puritan morals and great conscienti- ousness, extremely novel in these days, looked unmistakable annoyed and embarrassed. She longed for an opportunity to box the ears of her unreflecting brother, who had left her alone with a stranger who was a mar- ried man and a_ desperate flirt, and whose wife was undoubtedly at this moment suffering the keenest pangs at his dissertion of her. She was aroused from her reflec- tions by a polite remark from St. Al- ban who offered his arm for a further stroll. ‘I’m tired,’ she answered, some- what childishly, and turning shortly away. Gustavus looked inexpressibly sympathetic. ‘Let me take you down to that secluded nook by the water, where we may be undisturbed by these crowds,’ he murmured in tones so treacherously tender that they only increased her confusion and bewilderment. ‘It doesn’t matter particularly,’ that I can see,’ she answered, sullen- ly, and not very lucidly, whereat Gustavas opened his eyes and hesita- ted. An awkward silence ensued. ‘T need not add, Miss Merritt, that I have the honor to place myself en- tirely under your commands,’ he re- turned, with elaborate politeness. ‘Oh, dear! don’t do so. I didn’t mean that,’ she exclaimed, rather in- coherently. ‘Go anywhere you like, I’m sure; I suppose one place is no worse than another. It’s all the same to me, anyhow.’ Mr. St. Alban answered her by a look of polite bewilderment ; again offered his arm, and _ this time little Emma accepted it, smothering a pret- ty little sigh of perplexity as she walked with her fascinating escort down to acluster of laurestines which grew by the pond. He placed her on an ivy mantle seat and sat down beside her, his bold and eloquent eyes regarding her all the time with ad- miring interest. ‘Do you like San _ Francisco ?’ she asked, making a faint attempt to en- tertaining him, but feeling irritated and uncomfortable. ‘I was not in Jove with it until to- day, Miss Merritt. ‘So our picnic has had the effect of revolutionizing vour impressions. I’m afraid you havea very volatile dis- position, Mr. St. Alban. ‘Your picnic has nothing to do with my metamorphosis, except that I shall always bless it as the medium through which I became acquainted with you.

Emma laughed shyly, and frankly placed her little hand in‘ his “hesitat- ingly extended palm. ‘He look as though he pined for my so- ciety, she observed, . demurely, ‘Wouldn’t it do as well to wait awhile ?’ ‘Infinitely better,’ readily assented Gustavus. ‘Besides, I have’nt seen half the wonders of these gardens yet, and I find you are better able to ex- plain them than anybody else. Sup- pose we make a circuit of them again if you are not too fatigued ?” ‘Not in the least tired now,’ was the naive reply as she tripped by his side out of the labyrinths of the con- servatories into the gardens again. Gustavus St. Alban discovered that it would occupy a much longer time than a day in Woodward’s Gardens, to complete his acquaintance with so fascinating a damsel. Week after week found him still lingering in the envirous of the city, while George St. Alban and his wife were reveling among the sublimities of Yosemite and the Big Trees those abnormal at- rocities of Nature, perpetrated under the influence of California fertility and preductivenes.

Lepoux, State Chemist. eS gee ne Tur Meriopist Mope.—The Metho- dist itinerancy is being assailed by many influential Methodist clergymen, and the movement for abandoning it has a strong alvocacy ; but the Rev. Dr. Summers comes out emphatically in its defence. A great advantage of the system, he says, is that it seenres to every preacher a par- ish and to every parish a preacher. “Some of the charges are not very desira- ble: but they all farnish a minister with work, and they all pay him something for the work he performs. Some of the ministers are not accomplished men, but they are all approved by lay and clerical courts, and the poorest of them are bet- ter than none.” Dr. Summers points out too, that itinerant preachers, by using their sermons over and over, save thein- selves a great amount of labor. He states a third argument as follows: “What! difficulties and) annoyances and animosi- ties are frequently connected with resig- nations and calls among our brethren who have a settled ministry! Oue of the most revolting things I know is a minis- ter going around preaching ‘trial’ RcT- mons, acting as‘ supply; criti- cised by incompetent persons, sulijected to impertinent questions, black-balled, ov if called, responding with the knowledge that a respectable minority opposed the eall.”-— New York Sun. —_—_ — -~-=_-—— A Good One on Judge Avery.

The company is empowered to lay pipes and mains through the streets and avenues at acharge of three cents per foot of pipe and two per cent. of the net profits when these exceed ten percent. This will not interfere with the Spinola Company, which has already commenced work, and will prosecute it with vigor as soon.as the weather will permit, so that if there is vir- tue in steam heating, New York will per- haps realize it at an early day. —_. ~<a A State Convention of the Democratic Constrative party will be held at Raleigh on the 17th of June cext, SS PRIS: ction, i SKETCHES OF RADICALISN. Salfsbury Examiner, The people of North Carolina need but to be informed of the character and pur poses of Radicalism, of its atrocious deeds of violence and blovdshed, of its erael tyr- anny and wanton usurpations of power, of its base duplicity and shameless rogtie- ry, to cause them to spew it ont of their moaths as an unclean thing. The fact is, they have-not' been kept informed as to the doings aud nature of this pestiverous faction. Democratic speakers and Dem- ocratic newspapers have been too timid. They have condoned rather than exposed the wrongs under which the ‘people are groaning. The great masses of tlre peo- ple have been so hard pressed to make provision for their families and keep away _| poverty from the door, as to become in- different in a measure to what has been trapnsiring around them. Radical lead- ers have taken advantage of these cireum- stanees and pressed their suit with all the ingenuity, chicanery and persistency of men reduced to the alternative of life or death. The result is the people have been deceived and have grown indifferent; and many calling themselves good Dem- ocrats even fawn upon and rejoice over the triumphs of some of the dirtiest of these most unscrupulous Radicals in achieving place and power. They seem not to be conscious of what they do. They seem to have forgotten, if they ever knew, that the Radical party and those who support it, are responsible for all the woes, tears, and blood with which the country has been aftlicted for the last twenty years, They scem not to know that the Radical party and its leaders have stripped oar free Democratic government of Jaw and order, of nearly every attribute of liberty, and are still encreaching apon the rights of the people and centralizing all the func- tion sof authority as if prepariag the way for a despot to rule over us. But the people should and must be in- formed; and sofarasthe EXAMINER is con- cerned, it shall be the object of these sketches to revive the memory of those who may have forgotten the past history and bloody deeds of infamous Radicalism. Toa proper understanding of its black record of crimes, it is necessary to go back to the establishment of our govern- ment. Yea, we ean trace the cloven foot of the party which has ruled since sixty- one and well-nigh ruined the country, from the landing of the Mayflower ona cold bleak December day ata place which they afterwards named Plymouth. To the landing of this vessel on our coast, in sight of Cape Cod, freighted as it was with a band of Puritan whiners, canters, reformers and seditious disorganizes, may be traced all our woes, religious and po- litical, past, present and future. They first fled from England for their own good and for England’s good, pithched their tents for a few years in Holland; but as the Hollanders were not any more friendly to their unsocial and seditious ways than the good people of England had_ before been, they embarked and _ sailed for wil- derness America. Here they planted the poisonns vine of Puritanism which is sy- nonimous with all that is base and repul- sive in politics, morals, or religion. Puritanism and hatred are convertable terms, says the Old Guard. Hate some- thing, it continues, the Puritan must; and this hatred is always directed against some endowment or attainment denied or unattainable by itself. No sooner had the Puritans secured a footing on the bleak and rocky coast of Massachusetts, than they fulminated the most foolseap ed- icts against Roman Catholics, though there were none of that creed within hundreds of miles of them. Holidays and Saint’s days were prohibited, as well as the great festival of the true Christians—Christ- nas day ; but the wiser ones, knowing the yearnings of the heart for set days of re- creation and enjoyment, conceived the plan of consecrating an illegitimate shad- vw of Christmas; and hence was ordained an annual carnival for gluttons, naming it thanksgiving day, sacred to sectarians, who, for that one day gormandized on fat turkeys and plump pullets, sweet ci- der and pumpkie pies. Church edifices were to be no more for- ever; but meeting houses, shaped not un- like barns, were erected in the place there- of, in which the faithful grunted and groaned to their heart’s content, and wherein was preached political hatred instead of religions love. Church organs were forbidden, and the bass viol and vi- olin were anathematized ; while nasal- twanged psalmody was the ouly music, sacred or secular, tolerated by the sancti- fied saints of the Puritanic Utopia. It being as natnral for Paritans to hate as it is fur curs to snarl, and having no enemies at hand they turned, like a cer- tain class of loathsome reptiles, and bit themselves.. The Baptists, one of the most respeetable of all the dissenting sects, but not quite so pure in bigotry as the Simon-Pures of Mayflower blood, were driven into the wilderness, and com- pelled to trust in Providence, against the wiles of the heretofore inoffensive Indians, rendered merciless by the inhuman treat- ment of the Puritan invaders. Quakers, the most qniét, industrious and unobtra- sive of all the seets tinctured with Puri- tanism, were declared to be witches, and were hanged outright.

This is not true,\as:te men for the war, though it is true shat there were more enlistments from that: colony than from any other. Three months enlistinents prevailed in that col+ ouy during the stages of.the war; and Washington, in his pnblic letters,’ ¢om= plained bitterly of their uselessnegs.-. By - those letters it appears that recruits were sent to camp for instraetion; and. bythe time they were assigned to regiments, their term of service expired, and away they went. Met half way home by high bounties, they re-enlisted, and before they ' were fit to take the field, were. again dis- charged ; so that the same mep and bays enlisted over, and over, again, thas add- ing to the roll without increasing #he army. The men who enlisted for during the war were principally fram New Jer scy, Penusylvania, Deleware, Maryland, aud Virginia. The regiments of the line, from those colonies were relied upon by Washington in most..ofthebattles and skirmishes of the revolution. The men of those colonies achieyed our jindepen- dence, aided, as they were, by many from all the other colonies. When a more perfect union was formed, Massachusetts lost some of her inflaepee for evil; but after the death of Washing- ton, when two great parties sprang up, One favoring a strong government with despotic teudencies, the other in favor of, the largest liberty to the people, and the soverciguty of the States.

By this inaction the Legislature has left the people interested in the construction of the proposed new roads, free to proceed with the work up- on them. It also leaves the North Caro- lina road to take care of itself as it may be able. The State ought not to tax all ber citizens to build railroads and then allow outsiders to run rival lines and crip- ple ber own enterprises. SS oe Judge Merrimon made two very able apeeches against the sule of the Western WESTERN N. C. R. R. SOLD. The Ruffin and Davis Bill for the sale of the Western road passed both branches of the Legislature Friday last, by a large majority, In the Senate, ayes 40, noes 6; in the House, aycs 89, noes 20, This announcement was nat a surprise to nny one, It was precipitated ina miunver which clearly iodicated that these at the head of the movement had yery decided assurance of success. The “Mud Cut Boom” was bo doubt part and parcel of the movement, and was designed to prepare the hearts of the people and their representatives, the members of the Legislature, for the event. And after all it may be for the better. We suppose it is trne that the people would have become very tired of the annual taxes to carry on the work. We have no doubt the Road would have been a constant and vexing theme in the politics of the State, and will be any how for some years to come. The sale is an admission of State weakness in undertaking what she was not able (or her ablest sons so said of her) to finish. A few New Yorkers come in and relieve her of the burden. She has spent millions on the work and sells out fora few thousand. We think Messrs. Best & Co. have made a good trade, and we are glad they speak of liberal pur- poses on the subject. We certainly wish them all possible success in their enter- prise and trust they may realize more by it than it was possible for the State to do. We have no doubt the people of the State also cherish this feeling, and will heartily welcome and encourage the new proprietors by any means in their power, and will rejoice to see the Road fully ae- complishing the grand patriotic aimes of its early projectors. GOOD ADVICE. We know by experience that the follow- ing is good advice to Administrators, but not many will believe it until they have had to pay afew thousand dollars. for neglect. We copy from the Milton (N.C.) Chronicle: To ADMINISTRATORS. —Advertise your notices in the newspaper if it be conyveni- ent to do so, as it often happens that long after estates have been settled snits are brought against administrators upon the ground that you have failed to make law- ful or proper advertisemement. And then itis you will wish you had put your no- tices of administratorship in a newspaper, instead of posting them in manuscript to trees and grogshop doors. You will fail to show that you advertised at all, much less lawfully, and the “bar of recovery” will not plead worth a cent against “old scores!” and you and your securities will have to dance to the musie. We havea case of the kind to try at our next Supe- rior Court ; and we know of a case in an- other county, in which an administrator would have had $8,000 to pay had he not advertised in a newspaper, which he was able to show by producing the editor’s files. How many administrators five, ten or twenty years back—who were too par- simonious to advertise in a paper—could N. €. Railroad under the Ruftin and Da- vis bill. He thinks there are men behind Best and associates—their assignees —who will soon come to the front. He thinks the Duektown branch which will not be built and that the road to Asheville may not be built until it is first completed from Paint Rock to Asheville. The Judge believes the State may lose, under this bill, all her interest in the road and the honor of the State be tarnished and het eredit gone. And yet the judge may be mistaken, and the wisdom of the Legisla- ture sustained in the sale. show. —_ en ee Evison’s Last.—The newspapers an- nounced that in his efforts to obtain pla- tinum from the tailings of several gold mines Mr. Edison was surprised at the large amount of gold his processes were bringing ont, and his mind then turned to the subject of extracting this valua- ble metal from these geverally worthless tailings. The result as giyen is very as- tonishing, exceeding in value the best re- sults of mills working the virgin ores. From one he obtained gold at the rate of $80 per ton; from another, at the rate of $750; and from still another, $1,400. And this at the cost of working them of only $9 per ton, If this report be true, and it sexs to bea yerity, Mr. Edison's dis- suoyery is of vast importance. ro rr SILK. Time will A correspondent of the Salem Press asks the question “why may we not raise in this country all the silk we need 1” Years ago considerable attention Wax given to this subject by a few fami- lies in Rowan. The best domestic sewing silk we ever saw was made by Mrs. Wil- Jjamaon Harris and her daughters, then living at Fisher's Mills on South River. The tate Rev. Stephen Frontis went into the business im the days of the “Morus Multicalis” excitement, and made a good deal of ak. Why it was discontinued is not now remembered, but we think some fatal disease broke out among the worms and swept them off by thousands, Other experiments were more successful, and there is really no reason to doubt that the sik business, to be remunerative, ouly needs intelligent skill ang industry to dippet and dryive it. ee Fue Saryatioy ARaY At WorK.—The officers of the sylyation army haye fajrly opened the campaign in New York, aud propose to stay there and fkeep hap” the fight.

In addition to the above we would sug- gest for the protection of administrators, executors, and guardians, that. they also make and file with their precious papers a full memorandum of every Order of the Court and its date, and of every step ta- ken by them in pursuance of such order. When and where they advertised sales, und the day of sale. When they made renewal of bonds, and when they made final settlement. Such a document after i man is dead and gone is worth its weight in gold to his children in more ways than one, and protect them against the avarice of those who may attempt to tind some fatal error in their proceedings. ene eme The Florida Railroad Cases. Senator Vance, of North Carolina as attorney for the Western North Carolina Katlroad Co., yesterday {un the Supreme court of the United States made a motion to vacate and setaside the order made by Mr. Justice Bradley on the zd day of February last, approving the bond executed by the western division of the Western North Carolina Railroad Co., W. W. Rollins, C. M. McLoud, Henry.J. Rogers, and others. The bond under the order of the court Was required to be in the sum of $100,000 and to op- erate as a supersedeas in the Florida Rallroad cases The grounds of the motion are substantially that the approval of the bond was based by Mr. Justice Bradley on the consent given by Senator Vance as counsel fur the Western North Carolina Railroad Co., and without any judicial examination as to the sufticlency of the security required to be given, and that the parties who signed the bond as securities Were not worth the sums of money that they made afidavit théy were worth, and that the approval of thé bond was procured by the false and fraudulent representations made by C. M. McLoud, J. H. Rum- bough and Others of said sureties, to Senator Vance, and that the parties who signed the bond were re- sponsible tor fue amounts of money stated in their respective affidavits to the bond, and also that the salu J. HW. Rumbough, C, M. McLoud and others, at same to be false.—Wash. Fost March 20th. This action in the Sunreme Court of the U.S. on the motion of Gov, Vance, leaves Rollins, McLoud and others ina rather an unenviable position, and must of course, settle their longer resistance to the legislation of the State withdrawing from them all authority as officers of the Western Divison. It threw them out of Court, and we suppose they are now in a fair way to comply with the demand to turn over books, papers, &c., to the pro- per authorities. —_\_—~->- A New Motor.—We were shown to- day, by Mr. T.

J. Best, Montford MeGehee, Frank Cald- well, Treasurer Worth, C. M. Cooke and Lieut. Gov. Robinson. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a great crowd gathered in the House of Commons to hear the speech of Mr. Best, to whom the use of the hall had been tendered. Gen. J. M. Leach, chairman of the joint committee on railroads, presided. The majority of the members of both houses of the Assembly were present, and there were alsoa number of cther prominent gentlemen on the floor. Gen, Leach introduced Mr. Best with a few remarks in regard to the bill and its passage by so overwhelming a majority in both houses. He said that Mr. Best, one of the grantees, lind been invited to address the Assembly. Mr. Best returned thanks for the op- portunity of meeting the members at the outset of his work. He had the pleasure of the acquaintance of a large number of the representative men of the Stafe. There had been some suggestions made that he should make his appearance before this body. He said that he was a_ straight- forward business man, who did not con- descend to unfair dealing of any kind. He said that as his plans. unfolded them- selves no one who opposed this sale would have occasion to regret the act which placed the control of the property in his hands. Referring to his proposition, he stated that it had never entered into his mind not to finish the Ducktown branch. For three years he had his eye on the Western North Carolina Railroad, and letters were now on file in the Executive office written by him on that subject. Years ago he had desired to obtain con- trol of the Western North Carolina, the North Carolina, and the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroads, and = make agreat through system. He looked upon the Ducktown branch as the most im- portant. It wauld take years tocomplete this branch, but it would be pushed through without fail. He said he felt’ in a great degree as if he were responsi- ble to those gentlemen who had sup- ported the bill. The completion of the road would be the acceomplishment of his life, and accomplish it he certainly should. He kuew that he was taking charge of a gigantic work, which eminent men had failed to carry out. If he did carry it out he felt sure he would be en- titled toa meed of praise. He said ac- tions spoke louder than’ words, and he would show by his work his intentions. He came here to make money, and expect- ed to make it; but for every dollar that he made the State wonld make ahundred. He had betore engaged in works relatively | very much greater than this one. He went on to say of himself that what he possessed was the work of his own hands and his brain. Twenty years ago he came to New York a poor Irish youth, and lie had worked as a_ porter there for a dollar a day, bat since then he had been able to earn hundreds in the same space of time. With the co operation of the people he would push forward this work. He spoke of the ingniries in regard to him and his associates. He felt particularly proud of the results of the inquiries made concerning him, and said that the mem- bers understood his exact standing. It would notdo for him to put debts upon the road and then leave the State in the lurch. He was actuated by the best of motives anda true regard for the State and the people. Mr. MeGehce was called for, and said that he appreciated the kindness shown him on this occasion, He said in refer- ence tothe matter of the road that he could but express his high gratification at the assurances that the work would be completed. Never was any work of a higher order than that known as the North Carolina system. It sprang from the needs of our State and the opportuni- ty of meeting them. He went on to sketch the railroad lines, the extreme ad- vantages of our ports, and the thousand which make North Carolina a home in- Three years after the practicability of the first road in Europe had becn demonstrated the North Carolina was years be- The war arrested it, and yet after the war the All parties gave their alle- piercing the Blue Ridge. But, latterly, it had become almost a party question, ment and reform had its effect on the popular mind. Just at the moment when it was feared that the matter would be- come a source of political danger, the relief afforded by this proposition came to show the way out of the difliculty. He eulogized the action of Governor Jarvis in the matter, The deliberations of the Assembly had resulted in accord among the members and now there was also a perfect undersanding between the As- sembly and the grantees, We have alla common sentiment, said he, and are now about to realize in execution the plans so long and so much thought of by our fathers. Treasurer Worth was then called for, and said he wished to talk on this oeea- sion. He had been prominently brought forward in this matter, and he nyust say that his whole heart was in it.

It will be apparent to any one, who will ex- amine a SoLIv GoLp Watch, that aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and pol- ishing, a large proportion of the precious met- al used, is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so far as UrtLiry and beauty are concerned. In James Boss’ PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity and strength produced at from one-third to one-half of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most siinple nature, as follows: A plate of nickle composition metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of solid gold solder- ed one on each side. ‘The three are then pass- ed between polished steel rollers, ard the re- sultisa strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &e., ure cut and shaped by snitable dies and formers. The gold im these cases is snfticient- ly thick toadmit of all kinds of chasing, en- graving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold, This is the onlv Case Made with Two Plates of Solid Gold & Warranted by Special Certificate.

The skirm- ishes at Lexington and Concord took place April 1775; the battle of Bunker’s Hill in May of the same year, while Boston was evacuated by the British in 1776. In North Carolina the Battle of Moore’s Creek Bridge, between the patriots and the tories was fought in Feb. 1776, and in consequence Lord Cornwallis, who was hovering around the mouth of the Cape Fear, took his de- departure, carrying away with him Josiah Martin, the last royal Governor of this Province. In fact the Revolution was no sudden occurrence, but the result of a long continued series of events, culminating in the independence of the State and country. It may be useful to take a glance at the events that led up to this wondrous consum- mation, especially to dispel the illusion of those who have been told‘and who believe that nothing worth the expenditure of the blood and treasure required, was achieved by the war of the Revolution. The grievance of the Americans, though appearing in different forms, consisted in the despotic principle that a people may be taxed without being represented in the law- making Assemblies. While every borough and shire in England, Wales and Scotland was represented in the English House of Commons, not a single representative, dele- gate or commissioner could appear in that body from the thirteen colonies of America. sovereign control of many of the most vital interests of the colonies. By the odious “Navigation Act,” ofthe British Parliament, no production of Europe, Asia, or Africa could be brought into the colonies except in British ships, commanded by British cap- tains, and manned by British crews, nor could the exports of the colonies be remoy- ed in any“other way. The design of this law was to “protect” the British marine merchant service, and the design was effectu- al, since no other nation could’ underbid their own vessels. But it left the colonies at the mercy of the grasping ship-owners. But even this indirect taxation was not enough. England had expended large sums fin her recent wars, and especially in the | French and Indian wars waged in behalf of the colonies. In return, the mother coun- try, perhaps not unreasonably, expected the colonies to bear their portion of the burden. j And no doubt if the matter had been pre- sented in a proper form, the colonies would have consented to tax themselves to meet the expenses incurred for their protection. | But when England proposed to lay this bur- jden on them without so much as consulting ;them upon the subject, the universal opin- lion of the Americans was that it was a ty- jrannical invasion of the rights of freemen, jand thatdf England could take any part of their property without their consent, she | could take the whole upon the same grounds; | and that if they submitted to such taxation, ithe Americans virtually became the slaves jot the people from whom they descended, | On the 22nd of March 1765, the Parha- jament of Great Britain adopted what was called the “Stamp Act,” requiring all con- | tracts, notes, bonds. deeds, writs, and other ' public documents, to be written on Govern- ment paper, which had a “Stamp” on it, fand which was to be sold at a high price by |voverament agents, and from the sale of |which a large revenue was expected to flow into the English Treasury. The passage ef this *Act” produced great excitement in all the colonies, and in none more than in North Carolina, The General Assembly of North Carolina was in Session when the intelli- gence of the passage of this act arrived, and no doubt would have taken some de- cided action upon the matter, had not Gov- | ernor Tryon prudently prorogued that bedy }after a sesion of fifteen days. | the speaker of the House plainly informed t | the Governor that the act would be resisted | “unto blood and. death.” And when early wbjeet.

Ashe also demanded of Gov. Tryon, the | stamp-master, one James Houston, who was llodged in the Governor’s house, and upon refusal to deliver him-up, threatcned to tire ithe house. Upon this the stam p-master was produced, and compelled to take a solemn oath that he would not attempt to dispose lof the obnoxious stamps. This ended the matter of the stamps, for the act was re- pealed by Parliament in March 1766. The “Stamp act” was the cause of the first General Congress of the American Colonies, which was held in the city of New York, June 6th, 1765, This convention or Con- gress was held by the agreement of a num- ber of the colonies at the suggestion of their respective Assemblies, but the provin- ces of New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia were not represented in it, for the reason that their respective Levislatures were not in session in time to | take the necessary steps for the appointment of delegates. . | Although the English Parliament repealed ithe “Stampt Act” they did not abandon ‘their claim to tax the colonies, but directly lasserted it. And so in 1767 another act, lnot less an invasion of Colonial Hberty, was adopted. This was the famous “Bill” im- posing a tax on glass, paper, painter's colors and tea imported into the colonies, This act being resisted was followed by other acts of unfriendly legislation, such as the sus- pension of the legislative Assembly of New | York, and closing the port of Boston. In consequence of this the “General Court” of | Massachusetts sent a circular to the other Colonies, asking their co-operation in de- vising some method of obteining a redress of grievances. This circular was laid be- fore the General Assembly of North Caro- lina in Noy. 1768, by Col. John Harvey, the Speaker of the House, but no decisive steps appear to have been taken. In fact the Governor kept his watchful eye upon the Assembly and stood ready to prorogue its sessions at the first indication of the spirit of union and independence. Thus it hap- pened that North Carolina was not repre- sented in the first Provincial Congress of the Colonies, nor indeed until the General Con- yress assembled in Philadelphia in Septem- ber 1774. The way the “Provincial Con- ress” of North Carolina came into exist- enec at the Inst was as follows: In 1773 the House of Burgesses of Virginia resolved upon establishing committees of correspond- ence between the several colonies, and sent forth circulars to the various provincial Leg- islatures The Virginia “Circular,” as well as letters from some of the other Provinces, were laid before the North Carolina Assem- bly by Speaker Harvey in this same year, and the Assembly scized the opportunity to appoint a Conmittee to watch the proceed- inys of the English Parliament and to con- cert with the other Provinces measures for the general d fence. The Committee ap- pointed consisted of Speaker Harvey, Rich- aid Caswell, Samuel Johnsioa, Mewes, Vail, | | And yet the Parliament took complete and | John Ashe, | ——— Harnett, Hooper, John Ashe, When the Virginia House of Burgesses pi posed Ie of another General i, gress, theclosing of the port of Boston- Governor Martin intimated that he would repeat Gov. Tryon’s old trick of prorogu- ing the North Carolina Assembly, and thus prevent the province from being represent- ed in that Congress, But the brave and j fearless John Harvey, though fast sinking , Into the grave by incurable disease, resolved if necessary to sacrifice his few remaining days by a counterstroke of policy. He therefore issued a proclamation over his own signature, calling upon the people to elect members te a Provineial Congress that would not be subject to the Governor's or- ders, but responsible only to the people. Our children have been taught to admire the courage of John Hancock, who signed the Declaration in letters so large that all the world might read it, and of Charles Carroll, who added, “of Carrollton” to his name, to prevent the possibility of being confounded with another Charies Carroll. But who has paused a moment to tell them of the heroic Col. John Harvey of Perquim- ans county, North Carolina, who dared, in defiance of Gov. Martin and the royal au- thorities, to issue a proclamation, inviting the people to assume their rights as freeman, and join with the other provinces, in con- certed action? The act was performed, not under the pressure of enthusiasm, or in the midst of a patriotic crowd of sympathisers, but in the seclusion of a quict home, under the united pressure of the infirmities of age and enfeebling disease! He did not live to see the final results of the impending strug- gle, but sank into the grave just asthestorm of the Revolution burst upon the country. His name and his services deserve a grate- ful rememberance. In pursuance of the “proclamation” of | Harvey the Assembly of 1774, was supple- mented by another body called a “Congress.” Both bodies were composed, generally, of the same members, and Col. Harvey was chosen “Speaker” of the assembly, as usual, and “Moderator” of the Congress. The Con- gress met in Newbern on the 25th of August, 1774, and was composed of brave and judi- cious men, quite a number of whom are dis- tinguished in the annals of the State. On the list we find the names of Samuel Spen- cer of Anson, Robert Howe of Brunswick, Samucl Johnston of Chowan, Richard Cas- well of Dobbs, Thomas Person of Granville, Willig Jones of Hahfax, John Ashe and William Hooper of New Hanover, John Harvey of Perquimans and Abner Nash of Newbern. Rowan County was represented in this Congress by William Kennon, Moses Winslow and Samuel Young. On the third day of their session, August 27, 1774, the Congress adopted twenty-five resolutions, that embody the principles of independence and resistance to tyranny. These resolutions prudently affirmed a loyal regard for the British Constitution and de- votion te the House of Hanover, but at the same time declared that allegiance should secure protection; that no person should be taxed without his own consent, either per- sonal or by representation; that the tax on tea was illegal and oppressive: that the clos- ing of the port of Boston, and sending per sons to England to be tried for acts com- mitted in the colonies, were unconstitution- al,and that it was the duty of our people to cease all trade with the mother country, or any proyince that refused to co-operate in measures for the general welfare. They Sep aticcienn asaiiemaeed Congress in’ Philadelphia in September fol- lowing, and appointed William Hooper, Joseph Hewes and Richard Casweli to rep- resent this Province in said General Con- lvress. After authorizing, Moderator Har- vey, or in case of his death, Samuel Jolin- ston, to call the Congress together, if ocea- sion should require it, the body adjourned, | In the spring of the year 1775, the Provi-| ‘neial Congress met again im Newbern, and | Rowan sent as deputies Griffith Rutherford, | William Sharpe and William) Kennon.

For rails we paid twenty cents per ‘hundred, allowing the parties who sold / them the fence when it ceased to be needed }as a stock law fence. Parties out side of | the enclosure. we bought half of their fence and required them to make their half a geod jand lawful fence. We counted a pannel to | be ten rails, if it took even fifteen to make ;it high enough. Our fence will average five jand a halt feet, and will last ten years; for | gates we paid, when hung to trees $4.00, / when both posts were furnished $5.00, the ; tiniber to be of heart pine or oak, the posts to be of good post or white oak, and to be | set inthe ground at least three fect, and a sill | to be fitted in between to prevent swaging, and the gates to be hung so as to shut them- selves when passed through. Our gates will | last at least twenty years. We have jointly hung 14 gates, about 12 water racks, across }ereeks and branches; and 16462 pannels of | fence, being reduced to miles makes 26 and | 72 poles. | Mr. Barber put up 4 gates and 3905 pan- inels of tence, at a cost of $237.00. Mr. Har- | per hung 6 gates and put up 5107 pannels of fence at a cost of $316.11. I put up 4 gates and 7450 pannels of fence at a cost of $512.08. (Remember I had this done, did not do the half of it myself). [had about 12- 000 new rails made, had to haul eat least 9,000 of these rails one and a half miles, for the simple reason they could not be had nearer, Here are our prices, and the work done, we certainly did not pay exorbitant prices, and we tried to get the work out of the hands. Wearecharged with taking in some that were not included in the section. So we did, but by so doing, we shortened our line near two miles, If you will examice the law you will find that we had to go where we could, not where we would. Itis also said we should not have gone in asa section, but as a township. We may say others ought not to go inas a township, but as acounty.. Iam informed that some of the good citizens of Mt. Ulla, have commenced an enjoinder. Suppose that Scotch Irish, Unity and Mt. Ulla on:y had adopted the stock law. Scotch Irish would not have had a pannel of fence to build. Would it have been just or equal for us to say, build your own fence, it don’t touch us. It is true our fence has cost us much more than we wish- ed. We have done all we could to prevent it. We could not get the county in thouch we tried our repre-cntatives hard on. it. Neither could we get our township, so we must be content with our lot. Had Messrs. IIlenderson, Bost and Barringer been as wise as they are clever, they should have enact- ed the law a year ago that they now have. and, Howe. | also approved the movement for a Gencral | —— t to their opinion as Phave to mine, and I for one shall not fall out with them. We will send them. baek and they will do bet- ter next time, Now let-as harmonize this fence business, let there be'a good man ap- pointed trom the disaffected section, also o.¢ from Scotch Irish township, let these two select a third from outside the enclosure, let these three examine the fences and gates and if one township or section has charged too much equalize the thing and let us share alike in the burden. If any-one will devise a better plan, I will cheerfully uiese. Next September we will all go in, and we will all help those Providence and Litaker fellows to build their fence. J.D.

Eight o’clock having arrived, the spe- cial order for that hour was announced, being the bill (relating to public roads) to amend chapter 82 laws of 1879. This bill was reported back by the committee with a substitute, which they recommen- ded should be passed. The substitute to this bill with an amendment by Mr. Pow- ers, providing that road supervisors shall receive no pay for their services, and with numerous amendments exempting coun- tics from the provisions of the act, passed its final reading. FOR THE PROTECTION OF CROPS IN ROW- AN COUNTY. The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact: Section I.

Tuk LeGisLartre.—We pu ton record the following extract of proceedings on the bill for the sale of the W. N.C. R. Railroad. Section 16° was read and Mr. Dortch moved to amend as follows: Strike out the words “but no damage shall be re- coverable against the said grantees for any breach of said contract,” and insert Sand if the grantees, their successors or assigns shall fail tocomplete said railroad to Paint Rock and Ducktown by the time named in this act, they shall forteit to the State all rights under this act, and all work which they may have done on cith- er or both lines of said road, and the State shall not in any manner refund to them any money they may have invested in said road, and shall not be liable in damages.” Mr. Dortch said that if this bill was drawn to secure the building of the Ducktown route, audif Mr. Best and his associates were sincere and intended to complete) this work, this amendment Was necessary to compel them to do so, and if they are honest they will accept it. There was nothing in the bill as it stands to enforce them to do it, aud he did not believe they intended to do it. Ii Senators were determined to pass the bill he hoped they would be willing to guard it sufficiently at least to protect the interest of the State. Messrs. Ro’ inson, Leach, Tenderson, and Davidson spoke in opposition to the amendment. Mr. MeEachern said, as a North Caro- linian, he very naturally felt an interest in its completion.

Railread. ee The Piedmont Press gives the follow- ing report of Senator Vance’s speech in the Legislature, where be was heard by courtesy: Senater Vance was called upon and made a few remarks, but asked to be ex- cused on account of an affection of the throat, his plysician having advised him not tu speak. In the course of his re- warks he said: When I first came to this Legisluture [satin this ball not far from where I now stand :ST was a young wan just mar- ried. I voted for the charter of this road in 1354, and for the appropiation which started it. As I returned home there were rejoicings all along the road, and bonfires were lighted. The ground was broken and the first shovel full of earth was thrown amid the rejuicings of the people. Thave now an older son than I was then. My hair is now whitening with the snow that never melts and the road is not yet built to my native town. At the rate which it is now being construct- ed under the present law, it will take eleven years precisely to reach Paint Rock. It will then be the same distance to wit: 44 miles on the road to Duektown. It will then have 100 miles over a wild mountain country still to be built, and I am afraid that I shall not be here to ride upon that railroad. Perhaps no mau who now hears me will ever ride over this railroad. When the Governor did me honor of asking ny views in rgard to the proposition T advised him to call the Leg- islature. [ knew nothing as to the de- tails. For situated as I was 1 did not feel competent to decide upon them. But I knew the legislature of the State could. Sol think the proposition is worth try- ing. Weare not making the case any worse than it now is. We may improve it some ; we surely can make it no worse Again thanking you for the kindness and cordiality of your reception, I bid you a very good night. 2 — Occasionally a member of Congress gets a chance te put ina good word tor the coun- try, and lately Mr. House, of Tennessee, has said his say with more than usual vigor, In speaking of the frauds of 1876, and the in- auguration of the man who was elected to stay at home, he made the following poited rematks: “The means by which the choice of the people was defeated by fraud, and a man President of the United States, form a chap- ter of our history which succeeding gener- ations will read with shame, even if our in- stitutions should so far survive the shock as to leave to posterity no graver sorrow than a blush for the crime. Sir, it was a dark day in our history that witnessed the oath of office administered to Rutherford B. Hayes. His inauguration, under the cireum- stances, Was the severest test to which the patriotism and forbearance of a free people could be subjected, A large majority of the people had cast their votes for Mr. Til- den, yet they stood peacefully by and saw a man whom they knew to have been dcfeat- ed installed by fraud in the high oftice which had never been filled before by any owe his clevation to the suffrage of his countrymen, President Grant declared that uo man could afford tooccupy the Presidential chair by a title tainted with the suspicion of fraud, but we have had the mortification, as a people, of beholding that proud position occupied by one whose title one who did not is not tainted simply with a suspicion of fraud, but is fraudulent from centre to cir- cumference in the honest belief and consci- of | entious conviction of alarge majority of the | American people. This was nota mere tri- lump of the Republican over the Democratic party: it was wrong over meht, of fraud lover the expressed will of the people. It was not only the inaugration of a Republi- can President, but it was the installation of fraud, with all the pompous sanctions of law, in that high place, which had never been stained by fraud before. Our institu- tions have felt the rude shock of parties in their embittered struggles for power. They have even felt the clash of arms and lived. but bow long can they survive a destruction of the contidence of the people in the arbi- trament of the ballot) box remains to be seen.” _- ——— Hickory Carolinian: Doc.

Ni C.;’ ‘ M9, e Stitt} Lise tr te a ; When that stern old patriot, Andrew Jackson, made his appearance on the stage of the Union, Massachusetts, in full foree, euteied the field against bim; but he was too popular, too poworfal, to be damaged by the intemperate vituperation and abuse of these Radieal, Puritan pests. Still an- daunted and chagrined by their disap- pointments,they persisted in‘following the uatural bent of their groveling instinets,. and denounced everything that was pure and sacred,and noble. They had inuoculat- ed their poisonous theories into their chil- dren and many of their neighbors, and some of these had emigrated to other States, to the West and North, carrying with them all the characteristics and se- ditious purposes of their villainous creed. They opposed and denounced every effort of the government to acquire new terri- tory. The acqusition of Texas called out all the bitterness of al the puritan tribes, throughout the whole country. Next they were arrayed as one man against the Mex- ican war which resulted so gloriously to the American arms and gave to us the golden fleece of California, The Puritans, the Radicals,the Federalists were extreme- ly virulent and vindictive in their oppo- sition, and the leaders of this faction of New England,again talked of secessions,so that it will be seen that Massachsetts and her dupcs have opposed every step of the country to greatness, and that it is to-day What it is iu spite of them. The glories of American arms, the achievements of our statesmen and the greatness of our country are what they are in spite of Pu- ritanism, and not because of it. As all contagious or infectious diseases are more Hable to take hold of the filthy, the weak and the groveling, 80 abolition- ism first nade its appearance as a chronic distemper of the mind among the Paritan tribes of Massachusetts. Burr says the people unaware of danger, provided no quarantine precautions; and in avery few years, not only all the Puri- tanic charches, but many called Evangeli- eal, throughout the length and breadth of the northern belt, from Massachusetts to the far west, and from Mason & Dixon's to the Canada line, were suffering from the ravages of thatineurable distemper; the same classes being invarably the first vie- tims, those of small mental calibre and spirit, and always those whose blood or ideas came from Massachusetts. * * * Abolitionism having corrupted all the Evangelical congregattons of New Eng- land, and all Puritanie and ultra-evaugel- ical bodies throughout the nothern States, they being the only ones in which Massa- chusetts ideas prevailed, those bodies be- came so many political organizations, doing yeoman service to the black wooly- headed father of Abolitionism--the devil —who is the real father of Puritanism. This Abolition distemper prevailed un- til it assumed a malignant type, and whole States and sections were swallowed up by it. The strong government party, the old Federlists, encouraged its spread for polit- ical purposes, just as Cromwell encourag- ed the growth of Puritanism in England, to overthrow the institutions and govern- ment of his country. The scheme work- ed well, for soon the once noble Old Whig Party North became a reeking mass of Abolition corruption. The Democratic Party for a long time stood like the rock of Gibralter; ‘tout at length, the defeated candidates, ambitious politicians, and time serving trimmers, created, by their unwise course, a permanent breach in the great Democratic party of popular liber- ty and State soveringty; and the oppos- ing party of a thousand and one names, rode-mto power. No sooner had it fairly taken the reigns of Administration than the horns and eloven hoofs ef supposed- to-be defunct Federalism became painful- ly visible; pendant from the rotten carcass of Abolitionism which was animated by the fierce, ttuplacable hatred of the most malignant type of Puritanism. Hatred that had for more than half a century been kept in check, under proper control, iow burst forth like the flames of a long smoth- ered tire, or the raging ferocity of a wild beast, escaping from the cage of civiliza- tion to its native lair in the jungles of savagery.” . Lincoln, the head of this conglomera- tion of isms, who had been heaved to the surface by the turbid waters of passion, was the mere tool of the designing knaves by whom he was surrounded. He was not so dishonest as they, bat being too weak to lead he beeame the mere instru- ment of evil in the hands of the worst set of scoundrels and seditiouists that ever disgraced the image of our Maker. So the Puritan-Abolition-Radical war went on. Terrorism ruled the hour. Despetism, desolation, and death held high carnival throughout the land for four, long, dreary years. Seward touched, as he boasted, a little bell on his right hand, and arrested acitizen of New York. He touched a bell on his left hand; and arrested a citizen of Ohio; and so in other States, wherever a citizen spoke out against the fearful des- potisin, or was even snspicioned of “sym- pathy,” be was arrested without warrant, thrown into prison and there allowed to remain, or was fivally bapished. The most eminent Judges and Statesmen of Ken- tucky were imprisoned and banished for the simple announcement of their name mean r POLITICAL for a candidate for public office. ‘The : — =| offall and skum of the human family from SEETCHES OF BADICALISM. every country and of every color, were or- ‘| Salisbury Examiner, : ganized. the most irresponsible vagabonds, adventurers, cut-throats and scoundrels were placed over them as officers, and sent todesolate the South, to rob and mar- der her people, because they durst insist upon the protection of their property and a strict observance of the letter aud provisions of our clearly-written consti- tution. The rallying cry with the war party of the Nerth was for the Union. That Union which they had so recently derided and spit upon, and denounced asa compact with death and league with hell. The able leaders of oft-whipped Federal- ism snatched atthe golden opportunity to carry out their aristocratic schemes, so many times condemned by the people, joined in this false and drunken bow! for the Union. This wasa happy hit. Thous- ands had been brought to revere the very name of the Union. It was more a fanat- icism than anything else. There hearts swelled with pride at the mere anuounce- ment of the name. Their love for it amounted toa sort of superstitious rev- erence. They rusled to arms in obedi- ence to the demagogical cry, the Union must be preserved, with as much enthu- siasm as ever gallant kinght did to the. detense of fair woman. While the real disunionists, the Abolitionists, shrieked and howled, like so many hungry wolves or hyenas, but took care to keep out of the fight. They hounded on the non- Puritanic laboring classes of native Amer- icans, and the Celts and Teutons wha-had become Americanized, and all they cotld hire with high bounties, to fight their ba¢- tles while they remained at home to reap the advantages and profits of high prices, of the robberies and confiscations, and to see that all the offices, civil and military, were filled by the faithful. Thus the infernal Puritan-Abolition war progressed. A huge mouatain of debt and taxes was heaped upon the shoulders of the laboring poor. High tar- iffs, extravagance and a large addition of public offices increased as a matter of course. The millions wrung from the peo- ple are more than half squanderedygt olen, before any of it reaches the pavit trea- sury. The result is the rieh arg’ made richer, and the poor poorer. Th® manu- facturing interests of New Engfaud is fostered and proteeted at the expeuse of the agricultural States and the commer- cial cities. A monstrous system. of inter- ‘nal taxation is forced upon the country. It grinds into powder the laboring classes. It keeps their noses, as it were, continual- ly tothe grinding stone, their limbs -ghac- kled, and their muscles mortgaged; jor they have to foot the bill to pay the ac- cruing interest on the war debt, and to liquidate the bounds held by the shedy contractors and favored parasites of the rail-splitting, Union-splitting, State and liberty-destroying Administration of Abe Lincolu. The manufacturers and mer- chants, in reality, pay no internal reve nue except what little is consumed by their respective familes. The manufac- turer and the wholesaler raise their pri- ces to cover their tax, the jobber does the same, and so, also, the retailer; but the great mass of the people composed of la- borers, the mechanics, the artisans, the clerks, the farmers, being the principal consumers, pay almost exclusively the en- tire tax; while the bondholders and non- producing clases pay next to nothing. There is scarcely awarticle of necessity or comfort that.the laboring man has to buy, that thercis not agax on. In this way-he is continually paying tribute to the. rich in the form of enhanced prices ; and at the same time he has to. pay an internal tax ov his income;though that income be not enough: to support his family. Yet the favored few who hotd the government bonds on which they receive high interest in gold, pay not a single cent on these millions of bonds, towards defraying the expenses of the goverument. Such isthe actursed systeminaugurated and fixed upon the people by, the Radical] party. It has been well said, and it isa veritable truth, that ander the Demo- cratic Administration of public affairs, the laboring mau could enjoy many of the he is not only debatred’ from ‘een ‘semi- luxuries, but must deny himself and fam- ily many the absolute necessarics of Jife..

That the people of Rowan will be greatly benefited. by itis generally agreed. “‘Thegfyportant Where is the money ‘to come from? How much is uécessary té render its comple- tion a certainty? We have been assured that a-sabscription of $200,000 by the peopte of Rowan will give us the road. ‘Will the people vote this amount of sub- seription ? Will the benefits to be derived from thé Road justify uch action on their: part to build the This last question is the important one: Let the people well consider it. A subseription of $200,000 will not inerease the taxes; that is, it will ‘not mike them heavier than they “would have been, sivee the sale of the W. N. C. Ruilroad has reduced the taxes 12 per cent. If the people were to vote a subscription of $200,000, they would have the bonds draw so as to fall due at different times, say at ten, twenty, and thirty years or Aon ger, and drawing a lew rite of interest. ‘Tf fixed at 6 per cent., the interest then on $200,000 would be $12,000 annually. This is just the amount they would have had to pay, if tle Western Roadhad not been sold. Now, since they have been re- lieved of this burden, cau they not do something towards securing a Road that is. of the most vital importance to them? ‘The reduction in railroad tariffs, the general prosperity, the enhanced val- ue of real estate it is believed the comple- tioy of this Road will bring about, will more than compensate them for the out- lay. “t¢ will also open up a splendid mar- ket which will enable them to get more for their produce, better prices for stock, their poultry,or whatever else they have to sell. There is a’ certainty that they will now get the Road, if they will make this Bubscription. They can now get the necéssary assistance from the owners of Western N.C. Railroad. If they fail at this time to avail themselves of the pres- ent opportunity, there is no assurance that they will ever get the road, as the ‘Western will seek to reach Wilmington, Charleston, and the South by other routes, leaving Salisbury out entirely. If they dow’t get the people of Rowan tu do some- thing toward building this Road, they will go down from Statesville by way of Charlotte, thence down the North Careli- ha Central to Wilmington and Charleston. In this case, a weekly lumber train will probably be run from here to Statesville ; and it may be, that it will not be run that often, There being no competing line, the North Carolina Railroad will continue to diseriininate in freight tariffs against Salisbary, trade will go by us, business will decrease, and general stagnation ip every branch of industry will follow as a patural consequence; But surely the people can see the importance of this Road, and as they are to be directly affect- ed by it, whether they secure it or not, we are entirely willing to leave the mat- ter with them. It may be stated, however, that it is proposed to raise $50.000 out of the town and the balance out of the county.—Salis- bury Baraminer. — «or With all the fast living and reckless disregard of the so-called laws of health, statistics show that there has been a gradual and steady increase in the aver- age Jenghth of man’s life since the six- teenth ceatury. Then it was only eight- teen years. Now itis forty-three in the United States, forty-four in France and forty-five in England. Much of this in- creased longevity has been due to the im- proved condition of living among all classes, and the influence of good living, home comforts, ete., is shown at the pres- ent time by the fact that wealthy people average twelve years more of life than the poor. ee ee A New Patase or AN OLD Trick.— A quick, nerveus old gentleman from Gaston, walkiug with a heavy hickory stick, was standing talking to a friend on the street the other day.

Those who have enjoyed the music of the nose when the player slumbered, will be amused at and recognize the truth of the following pencil sketch by Dr. Bagby: “Turning upon my back, I folded my hands upon my anything but peaceful breast, and sighed wearily: ‘This, then is carthly bliss—these be the delights of travel, blast them all!’ I grew more cheerful as I began to dissect the suores of which I distinguished the following well-marked varieties, to-wit: The long smooth, homogeneous snore; the short, interrupted, svorty snore; the thin, wa- tery, rattling snore, and worst of all, the pudding-cdoling snore, -when the mouth puffs out the wind that the nose takes in as if to cool an imugivery pudding. Fin- ally, laughed outright, as I discovered why a snore is so exaspirating. In the first place, it is involuntary, and you have po legal right, theugh you have the greatest desire and ample provocation to do so, to kill the man that makes it, for he fs not responsible. a snore is not an assertion of any thing hor is it an answer to a question, it im- parts no information whatever, and it is not even a soliloquy, interjection or ex- clamation—it is hardly a comma and nev- er a period—it is just an utterly uncalled for and senseless noise, stipping aimless- ly up and down the nostrils, like airbub- ble in a spirit level. ae A Period of Misfortune The Stellar phenomena which will ap- pear in the sky shortly, announce, as we are told by the Luxumbourg Gazette, an event w ich may become dangerous and destructive to the earth and its inhabi- tants. Since the beginning of the Christian era the Perihelia (thus the appearance of the stars in the neighborhood of the sun is called) of the four great planets, Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune, have not taken place at the same time. But this event will occur during next five years, and according to Dr. Knapp, who has col- lected a mass of statistical material on this subject, the nearest of these pPanets to thesun when occurring at the same time, has so far always been marked by great epidemics and mortality. The views of astronomers are te the effect that when one or more of the great planets come near to the sun, the temperature and the ecndition of our atmosphere is so disturb- ed, that fluctuations, dreadful torrents of rain, long continued droughts, &c., arise, by which harvests are destroyed and pes- tilential epidemics produced among men and beasts. Dr. Knapp, while examining the history of the great epidemics of more than 2,000 years previous to our present time, has found the fact always confirmed that the nearness of a great planet to the sun has invariable been followed by an epidemic. Thus in the 6th and 16th cen- turies three of these great planets had ap peard near the sun, and in these periods at the same time the greatest and most destructive pestilential epidemics of the Christian era have oecurred. But soon after 1800 for the first time daring the last 2,000 years all four of these great planets will at the same time come into the peribelion, so that probably for sev- eral years, viz., from 1830 to 1885, the health aud lives of the inhabitants of the earth will be exposed to a severe trial. Inundations, failures of harvests, cspe- cially of potatoes, deadly fevers among men and pests among cattle, are prophe- sied ag precursors of the perihelion of the planets. We do not mention Dr. Knapp’s fore- bodings in order to distress anybody ; we simply communicate facts.

Mr. Atkinson sent. -home a folding crib, with the slatsmade in two pieces and hung down upon hinges. When they op- pened the crib and put the mattress in it, Mr. Atkinson omitted to fix securely the catches that held the slats. Mr.and Mrs. Atkinson went to bed early that night, and about eleven‘o’clock while they were ‘the baby ‘got awake ‘and began to kick.vigorously. The result was that the slats slowly descended and depos- ited the mattress and. the baby upon the floor. The baby, being particu- larly wide awake, crawled out into the room, and seeing a light in the entry, went through the door just as Mr." Atkinson’s aunt, Miss Boggs, was coming upstairs to bed. She picked the baby up, and finding that its father and mother were asleep, she carried it to her room in the third story, and determined to take care of it through the night. About an hour Jatter Mrs. Atkin- son awoke and thought she would glance over at thecrib to see how the baby was getting along. No sooner had she done so than she jumped from the bed in alarm. The baby was not there! The bottom seemed to have fallen out of the whole contrivance. Her first thought was that the baby was lying under the mattress smothered to death. She pulled the mattress aside, but there was no sign of the baby. — Then, wild with alarm, she shook, Mr. Atkinson, and told him to get up. Atkinson growled out in a sleepy tone— - ‘The paregoric is in the closet ; go and get it yourself.’ ‘Alonza!’ shrieked Mrs. Atkinson, ‘you don’t understand—the baby is gone !—stolen !— kidnapped ! — mur- | dered, maybe !—O, what shall I do?’ —what shall I do?’ ‘Now, be calm, Julia,’ said Atkin- son, gitting out of bed; ‘don’t get hysterical. The child, most likely, is under the bed.’ ‘No, it isn’t; it’s not there!’ ex- claimed Mrs, Atkinson, upon her hands and knees. Possibiy,’ said Alonzo, beginning to feel uneasy, ‘he has crept into the closet. Let us look.’ ‘This is horrible!’ said Mrs. Atkin- son, clasping her hands. ‘Do you think,’ asked Mr. Atkin- gon, ‘that he could have crawled into the bureau drawer and pulled it to af- ter him ?” ‘Certainly not!’ said Mrs Atkinson, ‘You know he couldn’t. ‘I think I hear him now. He has fallen out of the window!’ said Mrs. Atkinson, a8 a faint wail floated up from the back yard. ‘No; it’s only Mra. Magruder’s cat yawling on the fense,’ replied Atkin- son, as he closed the sash. ‘Have you looked in the bath tub in the next room? Perhaps he has gone in to take a bath.’ ‘Drowned! I know it! I’m sure of it!’ yelled Mrs. Atkinson, rushing in- to the bath room. ‘He’s not here,’ said Atkinson. ‘Could he have gone dewn stairs and fallen into the sugar bucket in the pantry ?’ ‘We must search the whole house for him,’ said Mrs Atkinson. So they began to hunt. They look- ed everywhere. In the clothes ham- per, in the kitchen cupboard, in the parlor, in the pantry, and even in the cellar, but without avail. ‘He couldn’t have gone up stairs because he couldn’t climb the steps.’ ‘No; he must have been stolen. He bas been stolen by burglars! I shall never see him again—never !’ ‘Don’t give way, Julia. Be calm I will go up at once for the police.’ Mr. Atkinson dressed himself hur- riedly, and dashed down stairs and out into the front street. He met a policeman almost at the door, and in frantic accents laid the case before him. The policeman sounded the alarm and soon had six other polices man.at hand. *They entered the house and proceeded to examine the fasten- oe | So drawing revolvers, they of the policeman said ‘In my opinion the the house yet.’ sien ‘We'll go for him,’ saida to search the building ug.

This brought Miss Boggs down from the - third story in great alarm. ‘What on earth is the matter ?’ she called. ‘Matter?’ said Atkinson, ‘Don’t © you know that burglars have broken into the house and stolen the baby ? Why we’ve been having the awfallest time you ever heard of for the last two hours.’ ‘Why, I’ve got the baby up stairs with me,’ said Miss Boggs; ‘I’ve had him all night.’ ‘You have!’ exclaimed the party in a breath. ‘Certainly.’ ‘Do you mean to tell me,’ said At- kinson, with supernatural calmness, ‘that the bay was quietly sleeping in your room all this time ? ‘Yes,’ Atkinson simply looked at her. He felt that language was unequal to the expression of his feelings. Mra, At- | kinson flew up stairs, two ateps at’ atime. The policeman laughed and filed out, Jones pulling his dog by the tail. Atkinson went to bed with raging anger in his soul; and the next morning he put a sheet iron bot- tom, fastened with rivets, under that folding crib. Hat making was first begun in Danbury, Conn., in 1780, the factory there employing three workmen and turning out three hatsa day. There are now employed 1,800 persons, and they make 17,400 hats aday. The payroll is $23,000 each week. In 1780 it was under $20 a week. An enterprising American shipped some wheel-barrows to Rio Janeiro, and the natives filled them full of stones. and such, and carried them on their heads. They said its was a cap- ital contrivance, and wondered how they managed to get along so many years without it. Jones says his wife is the most thrifty woman he ever knew. ‘Why, sir, he says, ‘she has made ten bed- spreads during the last two years ; made them herself sir, out of the sam- ples she collected in her shopping tours during that time.’ ‘Do you ever expect to makea newspaper that will sait everybedy 7” a veteran editor asked. ‘No, sir,’ was . the answer, ‘and I don’t want to; a newspaper that would suit everybody wouldn’t be worth reading.’ More cotton is passing through the looms and spindles of New England than at any time sinee the beginning of the business.

Which is Likely to be Adopted by Congress —Some of its Provisions. WASHINGTON, March. 29.—The sub- committee of the ways and means com- mittee decided to report favorably on Mr. Carlisle’s bill to amend the internal revenue law. A number of petitions have come from St. Louis and other large cities favoring its adoption. The bill limits distillers bonds to $100,000 and makes their penal sum the amount of, in- stead of double tax. It also provides that distiller may give a bond if a lessee in- stead of owner conscnt that the building be used for distilling purposes. It is also provided that fermenting tubs shall be emptied at or before the ends of the fer- menting period, that no tub in a sweet- mash distillery shal! be filled) oftener than once in seventy-two hours, uo tub in a sourmash distillery oftener than once in ninety-six hours, and no tub in a new distillery oftener than once in one bun- dred and forty-four hours. The distiller is given three years from the date of en- try in the warehouse in which to pay the taxes on the spirits. There area number of other changes iu the existing law, most of them relating to the details of the re- lations between distillers and the inter- nal revenue bureau. The bill, according to the estimates of the internal revenue bureau, proposes to reduce the revenue upon the basis of last year about $2,250,- 000, in the following manner : First—By relieving distillers of the in- terest upon the tax apon distilled spirits remaining in bond over a year, which now yield a tax of about $150,000. Second—By distillers and wholesale dealers in distilled spirits from the payment of certain stamps on barrels, which yielded last year about $350,000. Third—By making certain allowances for shrinkage on the evaporation of spirits in bonded wareliouses, that would reduce the revenue about $1,750,000. It cannot properly be said that this bill will reduce the total amount of rev- enue, inasmuch as the books of the in- ternal revenue bureau show that the revenue §om the tax on distilled spirits is steadily increasing, and even though the Carlisle bill should become a law, there is every indication that the aggre- gate amount of revenue will continue to increase, For the first seven months of the current fiscal year , the tax on dis- tilled spirits had yielded $8,362,397 07 more than it did in the correspoding period of last year. relieving fret -_ov>e — AN ENGAGEMENT WITH MEXICAN DEs- PERADOES.—Chicago, April 1.—A_ special from San Antonio, Texas, says, news comes from Fort Ewell, Lassalle county, that a detachment of Hall’s State troops had a fight on Monday morniug at Crary & Case’s ranch, with Mexican despera- does. The rangers attempted to arrest an offender and were attacked, 30 shots being exchanged. Two Mexican’s were killed and one wounded. A young man named Peter Johuson, recently from Phil- adelplia, was killed by a stray bullet. - ame Wasuineton, April 2.—Jumes Madison Wyatt Stone, colored, was hanged here to-day for the murder of his wife in 1872. Stone was a large man, weighing about 200 pounds. When the drop fell lis head was severed from his body. ‘The body fell to the ground and the head, after ad- hering to the noose a few seconds, also feH to the ground, a few feet from the body. Dr. Cook picked up the head and as he did so noticed the lips move. The features were calm. It is suppo. ed that fatness had weakened the muscular tis- snes, and the neck was unable to bear the weight of the body. FROM THE QUAKER CITY. E. J.

But the best endeavors were destined to prove unavailing. His physi- cians advised him to visit the West Indies and to seek in travel what it was not in the power of medicine to give. Suspecting, it may be, that his case was incurable, Mr. Brown decided to return to his home in this place, which he safely reached some three or four weeks ago. He had the attention of his family physician here since his arrival but his disease culminated in death, at 24 o'clock, p. m., April 6th, Aved about 62. Mr. Brown was very extensively known in this State and in South Carolina, and his generous disposition and affable and polite manne:s made him friends wherever he went.

As anevid-nce of the esteem in which he was held by the firm, may be mentioned the tact that when his health gave way a few months ago, they promptly offered to send him on a trip to Florida, at the same time continuing his salary until he should suffigiently re- cover'to resume business. He preferred to come home and be with his family, and accordingly left New York a few weeks ago. He died, we learn, of Bright's disease. He was generous, kind-hearted and manly fn all his dealings, and posessed the ab- solute confidence of all who knew him. His rela- tive, Col John L. Brown, of this city, was with him at the time of his death. ro rr A Relic of Antiquity in Rowan. The following relic of the last century has been furnished to the writer, and pre- acnted to the Watehman for publication be- cause it illustrates one of the phases of edu- cation in Rowan county in the olden time, among the German population, and because it presents the original methods of spelling certain family names, that have undergone some changes. The “document” was writ- ten in the German language, and has been translated literally, by Mr. Theo. Buerbaum of Salisbury. Mr. Groessel, the Schoolmas- ter, appears to have been what was once known as a “Redemptioner,” that is, a man who, having no means of paying his pas- sage across the ocean, made a coatract with the captain that he should be sold on his arrival in this country, for alonger or short- er time, to refund the passage money. Mes- srs Frack and Schumann, appear to have advancedgthe money, which Groessel was endeavoring to raise by teachihg school. The church which he proposed to take care of, and for the benefit of whose members doubtless he was teaching, was the “Lower Stone,” German Reformed Church, about thirteen miles south of Salisbury. But to the document. “Whereas Mr. Conrath Frack and Mr. Christian Sehumann stood good for me for 35 pounds vice 70 Thalers, therefore I have promised them that I will teach school about here, in this vicinity, until I have paid back said money. Furthermore I will from this day and year take care of the church and school as I have done. And after this vear, if [suit you, and as I see that you are ‘anxious to have a schoolmaster, and if God Lives me life and health, I intend to stay many years with you. ThenI beg that every one according to his liking to subscribe something for the benefit of the church. Further I pray to pay to Mr. Frack and to Mr. Schuman™, as these two men have to | | said town situated at the corner of Council all “ : : ars ee ~% : rc pay for mé Wednesday ten of eleven Tha- ers; and in four months 15 pounds. te wants to send children. t ay @ to-morro: the p — ti up intend to live in it; and as far as board is concerned I wish to beg to send it to the schoulhouse, then I will take care of the myself. OHANN HEINRICH GROESSEL, Schoolmaster. the 10, January, Anno 1798.” On the back of this ancient document there is a list of pounds, shillings and pence, and the following names: “Frack (Frick), Mr. Kreith, M. Besinger, Ph. Bollandt (Boland-Bullen), M. Schumann, Killian Ernhardt, M. Scherritt, Ph. Luempe (Limpaugh), Jost Goetz, Koestler (Keistler) Andreas Bawer (Bower),Georg Dochr (Derr). Nic Leinberger, Conrath Bollandt (Boland), Georg Fischer, Georg Bollandt (Boland), Jacob Besinger, Peter Drechsler (Trexler), Heinrich Bawer (Bower), Alex. Klingmann (Clingman), Ludwig Koeler.” It iseiyhty seven years since this document Was written, and Mr. Groessel,and all the men whose names are upon it are yone, and doubtless all the children, whom he initi- ated into the mysteries of learning. . But the naines and the families remain. —- Enochville Items. It paigs ‘us to announce that death made its second visit to this village on Wednesday night, the 3lst of March, at about 11 o'clock, and claimed for its vic- tim Mrs. Emma Rodgers, aged 20 years. She was the wife of Mr. Silas Rodgers, aud daughter of L. F. Rodgers. She was a dutiful, affectionate daughter and sister, a loving wife and a general favorite with all who knew her. She w s kind and aftec- tionate to all, possessing, in a high degree, all those Christian virtues which adorn a perfect woman. Ata barn raising, at John Hornbarrier’s, on the Ist inst., Bill Deal was performing some unnecessary feats in handling his axe, and was repeatedly warned of the danger to which he was exposing others, but continued until his axe slipped out ot his hands and struck Jacob Hornbarrier, who was sixteen feet distant, cutting a gash in his hand an inch and a half loug— the end of the handle striking him in the forehead and inflicting another severe wound. The geueral expression is that Deal should have received a severe chas- tisement right there and then.

Pittsburg, the great iron king of the United States, is brushing away the great cloud of smoke to get a peep south- ward and talks of building a narrow gauge road through West Virginia, and on through Ashe and Wautaga to connect with our Chester & Lenoir road, and thus not only open up a way to the great ore beds of Vir- ginia aud North Carolina, but secure a di- rect connection with the South Atlantic sea- ports. They recently held an enthusiastic mect, which was attended by Prof. Kerr, our State geologist, who gave them informa- tion concerning the mineral deposits of this country. It is their purpose to run the road through to Charleston, and should it be undertaken by those rich corporations, it will be pusbed vigorously to completion, and ence completed it will be one of the great lines of transportation of the country. The fact of its small cost compared with broad gauge roads and the great saving in rolling stock, together with the fact well demonstrated that narrew gauges can carry a greater per cent. of freight, all combine to make this one of the greatest enterprises now on foot.—Hickory Carolinian. ——_—_~<-—_—_—_ Lenoir Topic: A man on Linville Moun- ; tain caught two young panthers alive and | crippled the old one.—Mr. John Thomp- son, while out deer hunting on Grand- mother Mountain, last week, came across ‘a lurge diove of wolves.

New York, March 23. —Large meetings were held this afternoon and evening, looking to the establishment of an Amer- ican Independent Church at which ad- dresses were made by Rev. Fathers Quinn, Wood, Broderick and others, for- merly ‘Roman Catholic priests. It was stated that many pricsts were at present engaged in the work and that Father Quinn, President of the organization, was daily in receipt of communications from priests who are preparing to abandon Romanism and who were anxious to la- bor for the benefit of the poor people in the extension of true principles and prac- tice of Christianity. Letters were read from several priests in various parts of the country saying their whole heart was in the movement, and communications were presented from Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian confereuces in Balti- more, Philadelphia and New Jersey hear- tily endorsing the movement. ——$_~ Asheville Citizen: The national govern- ment has ordered that twelve girls and twelve boys of the Cherokee Indians, re- siding in the more Western counties of this State, be educated at the expense of the government at the Asheville Female and Weaverville Colleges, the girls to be taught here and the boys at Weavervile, for the purpose of enabling them to in- struct their own people. ‘To this end Mr. Banner, of the Asheville Female College, accompanied by Dr. W.

POLAND. wy “e e il l ¥ " EARNING HER OWN LIVING. It was a tempestuous night in November. The carved Dutch’ cloek in Judge Iarrison’s study had just struck 9. Judge Harrison himself, an austere-looking, silver-haired man, sat upright in his chair, gazing coldly at his guest. ‘Well,’ said Dr. Hooper, pulling on his gloves, ‘of course, it isn’t for me, or any one else, to interfere in family matters. But your grandchild is left totally unprovided for, sir.’ ‘I cannot help that,’ said the Judge, frigidly. ‘Eight years ago I offered to support the child, and her father, too, if he would only consent to leave that outlandish foreign wife of his. He married her against my will—he clung to her against my will. Let him abide by his decision !’ ‘It’s only natural, Judge, that a man should cleave unto his wife,’ urged the doctor. ‘It is only natural, then, that a man should provide for the child of that wife, Dr. Hooper. At all events I shall assume no further responsibility!’ ‘But Judge Harrison, you are a rich man!’ ‘Granted—but as I made my money myself, I feel that I havea right to spend it to suit myself!’ ‘Hilda isa fine girl,’ pleaded Dr. Hooper. ‘No doubt, no doubt, but you will} pardon me if I feel no very great anxiety tosee the child of tlie Ger- man singing woman who stole my son’s heart away from me.’ Dr. Hooper hesitated. ‘Judge,’ he said, at last, ina tone of appealing earnestness, ‘you have another grand daughter. ‘I have. My daughter’s child Marian Lennox, makes it her home with me. ‘And yet you would deny a similar home to Hilda Harrison ? Judge Warrison’s shagzy white brows met in a straight, frowning line. ‘Doctor,’ said he, ‘you will fail to make the distinction between a duti- ful child and one who has been un- dutiful.’ ‘Let me see Miss Lennox,’ said Dr. Hooper. ‘Let me interest her in the fact of this desolate, unknown cousin. She hasa woman’s heart in her bosom. I am sure I can move her!’ Judge Harrison smiled coldly as he touched a smal! gilded call-bell which stood on the table beside him. ‘Send Miss Marian here,’ said he to a servant, and the man_ noiselessly obeyed. In another minute a tall, princess- like girl stood in the room—a girl with hair of pale gold, deep, blue eyes, like azure stars, and a dress of | soft blue silk that fell iv picturesque folds about her, and trailing noise-| , lessly over the carpet as she walked. ‘Marian,’ said the Judge, ‘this is Dr. Hooper. He has come here to plead the cause of your Uncle Severn’s | daughter, Hilda. Severn deliderately disobeyed me at first in| marrying Hildegarde Hochmer—he rejected the offer I afterward made of taking him and the child home, if he would but leave the siren who had blighted all his life, Now he is dead, and has left his child unprovided for. I say as he has sowed, so let the child reap. What do you say ?’ ‘I think grandpapa is quite right,’ said Marian, in a soft, sweet voice. ‘Grandpapa is always right!’ ‘Then you have no word to speak for this lonely little orphan! cricd | ont Dr, Hooper, deeply indignant, Marian laid her ringed hand upon that of Jier grandfather and nestled close to him. ‘I always defer my judgment to that of grandpapa,’ said she—and Judge Harrison,passing hisarm around the girl’s waist, looked with ill-con- cealed triumph at the luckless special pleader. Dr, Hooper bowed, spoke his adieux and departed. When he returned to his own hum- ble residence, a dark-eyed girl met him at the door, ‘Have you seen him, Doctor—my grandfather” she cried, eagerly, , Dr. Hooper nodded, ‘It’s of no use, though,’ said he. ‘The old man has a heart like granite; and that girl, your cousin, is of cast iron,’ ‘He will not take me?’ ‘No,’ ilda Warrison set her lips to- gether. ‘Well,’ said she, ‘then I must man- age to provide for myself.’ ‘No hurry, lass; no hurry,’ said the i. bese mea cup of coffee before I start ont again.’ ‘Hilda.’ he said, presently, as he sat toasting his feet before the fire, with his wife knitting opposite, and Judge Harrison’s granddaughter lean- ing against the window, and looking out iuto the stormy darkness, ‘what are you going to do!’ ‘I-don’t think I quite know, Doc- tor.’ ‘You are sixteen?” ‘Sixteen and a half, sir.’ ‘And you cannot teach ? ‘Oh, dear, no, sir!’ Hilda shook her head decidedly. ‘I had no chance for much education, traveling about as I did.’ ‘Nor sew ?” ‘Not well enough to adopt it for a profession.’ ‘Then, for all I can see, there is nothing left but to go into domestic service.’ ‘I would take a place to-morrow, Doctor, if I could get a good home and decent wages,’ said Hilda quickly. ‘Good,’ said Dr. Hooper. ‘That is the right spirit, child! I don’t fear but what you’ll” make your way, in one direction or another. But I think I can see something a little more prom- ising ahead for you than that.’ ‘What is it, Doctor ?’ ‘I noticed the way yon took care of your poor father, Hildia, in his last illness. I thought then that you would make a good nurse—I think so now. There is an opening in St. Francesca’s Hospital. A good home and a dollar a day.’ ’ ‘As nurse, Doctor ?’ ‘As nurse !’ ‘And I should see you sometimes ?’ ‘Frequently—twice a week at least.’ Hilda pondered a second or two and then came forward with glisten- ing eyes and red lips apart. ‘Doctor,’ said she, ‘I will try it.’ And so Clement Harrison’s grand- daughter donned the little muslin cap, print dress and white ruffled apron of the St. Francesea’s corps of nurses, and set diligently to work, earning her own living. A year had passed by, and Dr. Wallace sent word that nurses was wanted for a smal] pox case in the city. The Sister Superior of the St. Fran- cesca’s looked dubionsly at her wo- men. ‘Who said she—and Hilda Harrison stepped forward. ‘I will,’ said she. ‘I have no fears of the contagon, and have to add to my experience. So little Hilda packed her bag and went, The housekeeper of the great Fifth avenue palace was wringing her hands half terrified out of her senses; the other servants had taken precipitate eave, ‘And Miss Lennox went this morn- ing,’ said she. ‘I should think she might havestayed.’ ‘Who is Miss Lennox?’ questioned innocent Hilda. ‘The old gentleman’s grand daughter that he has brought up and petted like a cosset lamb,’ said Mrs. Hurst. ‘Oh, the ingratitude of some folks. And if Judge Harrison dies—’ Hilda looked up quickly from the bottles of carbolic acid she was un- packing. ‘Is this Judge Harrison’s house ?” said she, ‘Why, of course it is,’ answered Mrs. Hurst. ‘Did’nt you know ? ‘No, I did not know,’ Hilda said. ‘But of course it makes no difference will go? / whose house it is. ‘Who are you?’ Judge Harrison asked, hoarsely, as'the light foot cross- ed the threshold. I am the nurse from St. Francesca’s, They call me Hilda. ‘Hilda what ?” ‘Never mind my other name,’ said the young girl, with a gentle authori- ty that had come to her from months of practice at weary sick beds. ‘They call me Hilda—and you are not to talk and excite yourself.’ ‘Do you know you are running a great risk ?” ‘It is my business to run risks,’ Three weeks elapsed. The crisis of the disease was past—the old man, Weakened indeed, and sadly disfigur- ed, was able once more to sit in his easy chair, and Hilda, who had watch- ed over him with a vigilance and tenderness which he fully apprecia- ted, was arranging fresh flowery in a vase on the table. ‘Hilda,’ said he, slowly, ‘where has my grand daughter Marian been al] this time ?” ‘She went away, sir, when you were first taken ill, She was afraid of the disease, ‘And she left me” kindly little doctor, ‘Go te]) the wife ‘And left you, sir,’ ee einen ‘There was gratitude ’ ‘he mattered France has just been able, ten years hoareely. ‘And “whien is she ‘coming hack? - ce! ee ‘ Hilda laid down her roses and look- ed with pathetic, feeling eyes at him. ‘She will not come back at afl sir’ she answered. ‘We dared not tell you before, but—but her flight was, in vain. She died of small - pox ;,last week,’ The old man turned away with a smothered groan. ‘Hilda,’ said he, ‘you will stay with me? You will not leave me alone? Nay, do not speak, I know who you are. I recognized your name when you first came. You have looked at me with your father’s eyes many a time since. Hilda God has sent you to me.’ ‘Oh, grandpapa!’ And Hilda knelt weeping besides his chair, scarcely able to believe that his Joving arms were around her neck, his tears dropped on her brow. ‘Oh, dear, dear grandpapa! I have so longed for some one to love —for some one to love me!’ And good little Dr. Hooper ‘was well satisfied with the result of Hil- da’s experiment at earning her own living. ‘Heaven manages these things bet- ter than we do,’ thought he, as he re- membered his attempt at softening Judge Harrison’s flinty heart more than a year before. — + Po Boots and Shoes. Boots and shoes are very important articles of clothing with regard to the health of individuals subject to sore throat. Two pairs should always be in use at the same period, to be worn on alternate days respectively, inas- much as a single night’s exposure to the air is usually insufficient to free them from moisture; and the prac- tice of having two pair in wear at a time will be found productive of an economy of about thirty-three per cent.,, a matter of some moment to many people in hard times. An ad- ditional pair, exceptionally well-soled should be kept for inclement weather. What are called double-soled shoes or boots should be worn in winter, and in wet weather at any season ; and quite light soles are perfectly safe in in hot and dry weather. Water- proof shoes, rubbers, furs and mufflers of all sorts are not to be reemimended for customary use. Rubbers and light water-proof cloaks are advisable on occasions of special exposure, but should be remoyed as soun as the spe- cial occasion has passed. Water- proof garments should have slits un- der the arm pits, and at other pro- tected points, to favor ventillation. ee a A Famity Feup.—There was a feud between the Howrie and West- field families, in Warren county, Iuwa and the Howries hired George Whee- ler to kill nine male Westfields at $100 apiece, the price to be paid af- ter the death of each, and $100 to be added for the ninth, making $1,000 for the whole job. Wheeler began work by shooting at the father of the Westfields, but only slightly wounded him inthe head. Never- theless, he demanded $100 from the Howries. They told him that they would not pay for such bad marks- manship, and he could only get $10; so he exposed the whole plot, and all concerned in it are now in jail. SS ee Careful mother—I wish I could break my boy Jolnny of the habit of kicking against everything he comes across. A pair of boots doesn’t last the little dear two weeks.” Grand- father Licshingle—“Let an old man who has had experience tell you how to do it. Fill the toes of his boots with nitro-glycerine, an’, my word for it, your little dear will never kick the the second time.” Mother swoons. +e. - STeps Forwarv.-—Every kindness done to others in our daily walk, ev- ery attempt to make others happy, every prejudice overcome, every truth more clearly perceived, every difficul- ty subdued, every sin left behind, ev- ery temptation trampled under foot, every step forward in the cause of good, isastep nearer to the life of Christ.—Dean Stanley. ge ge The New York Methodist Book Concern has a net capital of $1,080,- 568.

It is eminently a system of rag currency. These so-called banks have no specie. They “loan their paying interest thereon, on the strength ; of another species of debt, which also draws interest ; both classes to be paid, in the end, by the laboring poor in the form of taxes and high prices. It has raised up an army of speculators and ex- nopolizing, have destroyed the natural relation between supply and demand,” which always effects injuriously the poor, and the weak, and renders them poorer and weaker. Thus we see the long, fond dream of Imperial Fedralism realized for the time. _ Its favorite national bank system is in full blast, and its withering, blighting effects are also before our eyes. It suits the monopolists, it suits the centralists, it suits the Radical bondholders, stockjob- bers, and money changers, but it is death ‘to the laborer, the mechanic, the farmer | and the poor generally. Says truthfully a statesman: We are cursed with a large standing army, a huge national debr, an oppressive tariff, a rag-money circulation, a most oppressive system of direct taxa- tion; the independence of the States is ignored; altogether creating as black a despotism as ever tyrant could desire. These are some of the crimes against true Rrepublicanism, against State sove- reignty and individual liberty and happi- ness, these enemies of the laboring mass- es, this piebald Radical party of disunion- its have committed and now glory in. The Bank of the United States, or thre so-called) National Bank system, always been odious to the masses of the people of the Union. It has been regard- ed as an engine of oppression, asa fit of despotic power. Thee first Bank of the United States was chartered by Congrees in 1790, iu obedience to the recommendation of Alexander Hamilton, the Federalist, or rather, the Monarchist. This died a natural death in 1811. Sev- eral attempts were made to have it re- chartered which failed. A bill for this pur- pose passed both Houses of Congress and was vetoed by Mr. Madison, in January, 1814. On the 10th of April, 1816, another bill of like character received his approv- al, by which a new Bank of the United States was incorporated for twenty years, with a capital of thirty-five millions of dollars. <A bill for the re-chartering of the Bank was presented iv and passed by the 22nd Congress, but was vetoed by General Jackson upon constitutional and. other grounds. The veto was sustained, but it lost President Jackson many friends, as it brought the moneyed power in op- position to his re-election. Still, Jackson was re-elected by an overwhelming ma- jority, receiving 219 of the whole 275 electoral votes. Soon after his inangura- tion in 1833, he erdered the deposits of public money to be removed from the Bank of the United States, and to be put in certain State Banks. This action, says Mr. Stephens, produced great sensation and excitement in the country. It was the canse of an open war between the President and the Senate. In this war, Calhoun, Clay and Webster, ‘the Great Trio,” as they were called, for the first time in their lives were cordially united in their asault apon the Administration. Against this array of talent stood the in- domitable/ Benton, of Missouri, and the accomplished Forsyth, of Georgia. A resulution severely censuring the Presi- dent, and declaring this act of his uncon- stitutional, passed that body. It was now that the United Opposition assumed the party name of * Whig.” . Jackson replied to this resolution of censure by the Senate in a paper known as the “ protest.” This was one of the ablest documents ever produced by him. The result of this con- test was a complete triumph for Jackson. The resolution of censure was finally ex- pugned from the journal of the Senate by its own order to have black lines drawn around it. ‘The whole force of the Oppo- sition at that time was exerted in favor of a recharter of the Bank. But every effort ou this line signally failed. Thus it will be seen that the Democra- cy, and those who have properly repre- sented and spoken for the great masses of the people have persistently opposed the vile and oppressive system of United States Banking. But what a vast differ- ence there is in the one we have just re- ferred to above, and that intolerable system of ‘ National Banks” fixed upon us by the Radical party!

Weare in the midst of railroad sensations and rail- | road schemes are as abundant these days as blackberries in the most pro- lific season.

The people have become ac- customed to talk so lightly{and glibly of public moneys that a million does not apparently hold a larger place in estimation of public officials now than a thousand did twenty years since, But to our subject. Mr. W. J. Best wants the Atlantic & North Car- olina Railroad, and on a few hours notice the directors of the road were called together Friday to consider Mr. Best’s proposition. He propos- ed to lease the road for the unnatural term of 99 years and agreed to pay for it $25,000 for the first thirty years; $30,000 for the next thirty-nine years and $35,000 for the last thirty years. This proposition, we are pleased to learn, was promptly rejected by a majority of the directors. Finaily, Mr. Best proposed to lease the road for the term of thirty-three years,‘and agrees to pay $30,000 annually for the property. This proposition re- ceived due consternation at the hands of the board, and the conclussion ar- rived at is that the board agrees to submit it, with any other propositions that may be made, toa mecting of the stockholders called for the 29th of April ; the directors holding that they have not the power to enter into a lease with Mr. Best. While this paper has always advo- gated a North Carolina system of rail- roading, holding that the interest of the State and our people would be thus better than could possibly be ex- OR A = a — ee Th tere oe sox , or > It will doubtless surprise pri many of our farmers to hear that sugar can be made from cornstalke and yet it can be done. We copy the following on the subject from a recent article in the New York Herald: “But the most remarkable results from these experiments in sugar mak- ing obtained by Prof. Collyer were from Indian corn. From an acre of land planted last year with a common white field corn, known asthe horse tooth, from the shape of the kernel, he gathered the ears when fully ripe, and their yeild of shelled corn was sixty-nine and one-tenth bushele— per acre of the country at striping and grinding the stalks, an working up their juice by the new processes, he extracted from it 960 pounds, or nearly half a ton of sugar of a good quality. Here, then, from the stalks—thrown out by our farm- ers into the refuse of the barnyard, as fit only to be reduced to manure— amore profitable crop has been ob- tained than the corn. Nor is this all. The pulverized stalks, after the ex- traction of the saccharine juice (to the extent now practicable, sixty per cent.,) have proved nutritieus food 99-years. But in these fast- days of /more.than double the average erop starch and nitrogen retained. Ap- plying this extract of sugar to the Indian corn crop of the United States —that is, to the rejected cornstalks— they would give us an income which within the brief period of ten years, would extinguish our national debt.

THE Stars IN APRIL.—The inter- est of the month concentrates on the morning stars, for, after the 7th, Ve< nus, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn are all numbered on this list. Venus es- pecially will be the herald of the sun throughout the month, for, though in her distant phase, she still reigns as as the brightest star in the heavens? She formed a lovely picture as a com- panion for the slender waning moon on the morning of the 7th, will divide her queenly favor between Mercury and times more exasperated by the eleva- tion of the negro to equal political. powcr. The North is disunited. A part will adhere to the South, and just as before the war the South will again dominate and control the nation.” That's allright, ain'tit. That don't sound like a Radical wrote it. L reckon that last is to be the campaign document. They don’t want us to duminate. They see what a vote. It gives us more representation in Congress. They would take it away frem him new if they eould; and as they ean’t, they are trying to exodust him to the North- west. But they can't do that, and now they are begging him to go to Africa, and he won't, They are in a dickens of a fix. They have sowed the wind, and are reaping the whirlwind. We are getting on all right. If our folks will act up to what that Fool's Errand feller says and be united and every man think more of the South and her glory than of himself, I kuvow she will come out ahead. But somehow er other it don't seem to me that a man who bolts his party and side wipes around for an office on the inde- pendent line is very much united or very particular about his country’s glory. It looks to me like he is after bis owa glory first, and after he gets his share if there’s any glory left I reckton maybe he would give it to his countrythough I am Hable to be mistaken in my peculiar view of such things. On the whole I am obliged to think that campaign docament & very good book for our side, and I think our folks ought to tote fair and pay for half of ‘em and let the Radicals distribute °em. If any South- erner was to write a bgok and say the whole South had beena pack of fools fifteen years, and was to prove it, I think it would make me mad, and not be a very good campaignslocument in every family. I get mad now whenever a man abuses secession. And that’s éxactly what the Fool’s Errand does to the North. He makes ’em all out a set of fools and all their reconstruction legislations stupen- dous folly. __.

This fund will be applied to the payment of travel- ling expenses, so that all students may reach the school on an equality, All persons desiring aid will apply to President Battle at Chapel Hill, by mail, before May 20th, so that one may learn in advance what amount he will receive.

They have reduced their work to so nice a point that it is believed it will pected from outsiders, now that such North Carolina policy is hopelessly abandoned, and altogether out of the question so far as the State is concern- ed, we are decidedly of opinion that the State ought to make a clean sweep of all her railway interests, and would willingly endorse any sale or lease of the Atlantic & North Carolina Road to such parties or corporations who would give the best guarantee that the original idea would be carried into practice, and that the interest of the people along the line of the read shall be protected. We entertain no doubt as to what the action of the stockhold- ers will be, if Mr. Best will only be prepared to give assurances and guar- antees based upon strict principles of equity. Tue MECKLENBURG DECLARTION. —It matters but little whether the resolutions of the 3lst of May, 1775, were the first or second series. In either event they seem to be fatal to the “ Declaration” made on the 20th. It they were the first series, then those of the 20th were never adopted at all, and if they were the second series, they went back upon and virtually repealed those of the 20th.

It will be apparent to any one, who will ex- amine a SoLiy GOLD Watcu, that aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and pol- ishing, a large proportion of the precious met- ral used, is needed only to stitien and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary sulidity and strength. Yhe surplus gold is actualby needless so far as UTILITY and beauty are concerned. In James Boss’ PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity and strength produced at from one third to one half of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the moat simnple nature, as fullows: A plate of nickle composition metal, especially adapted to the purpore, has two plates ot solid geld solder- ed one on each side, ‘The three are then pass- ed between polished steel rollers, ard the re- sultisa strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c., are cut and shaped by snitable dies and formera, The gold in these cases is su fficicnt- ly thick toadmit of all kinds of chasing, en- graving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried nntil worn perficily smooth by time and use without removing the gold. This is the only Case Made with Two Plates of Solid Gold & Warranted by Special Certifiente. For sale by J. & WH. HORATI, and all other Jewelers. 22:1y Foudery & Machine SSIIO ke S35?

The facts, are substantially as follows: A quarrel arose between Samuel Howard and Wm. Brindle, caused by some re- marks made by Howard derogatory to the character of Brindle’s wife. Brindle was enraged and dared Howard out of the store, and ov his failing to come, at- tacked him with a ehair. Howard drew his pocket-knuife and defended himself. At the first pass, his knife blade entered Brindle’s left cheek, near the ear and; came out in the corner of his mouth, aud glancing, cuta deep gash in his right) arm, severing the main artery. Drs. Fai- son and Cash are attending Mr. Brindle. It is rnmored that his recovery is doubt- ful.

True life is hidden belind house- front lid, written in a beautiful hand, is an inscription in Latin, indicating that the book once belonged to Johann Jochim Zabh, with the date, June 20th, 1743, added. The Rev. Mr. Zubii was a minister of the Re- formed church, a man of extensive learning who labored among the German churches in the South. and is said to have made his head- quarters in Charleston and Savannah. The! first ministers of this order in Rowan were | distinguished from all others by the appela- tion “Calvinistic.” That they were in har- mony and sympthy with the Lutherans, is | manifest from the ‘act that when the deed was first drawn for the lot on which the first Lutheran church stood in the town of Salis- bury, provision was made for the Calvinis- tic ministers to preach in it, when not occu- pied by themselves. When the hickory church, as it was then -lealled by the common people, had stood about 20 years, and the congregation had grown large und strong, the desire fora more commodious and substantial building, 1] natured into a purpose, and was acted out ina plan.

Her tawny, golden hair was rich, wavy and abundant. Her complexion was perfect in its way, the creamy white faintly relieved by a touch of crimson in the cheeks; and her figure draped ina costly white lace robe, Jooped up here and there with bunches of blue violets, was small and grace- ful. ‘You would not like to give up this, and this, would you, Eve?’ Robert Lewis’ voice softened as he touched his young sister’s dress and jewels. ‘No,’ Eve says, slowly. ‘I do not know what you meun, Robert. I have no intention of giving up any of my luxuries.’ ‘But you must, unless—’ He paused abruptly, and set his teeth together, as if afraid to speak further. ‘Unless what ? ‘Oh, nothing ; but, Eve, if Gerald Ashburton offers you any attention to-night, acceptthem graciously, won’t you ?” ‘Gerald Ashburton!’ Eve’s eyes flew wide open. ‘He is the most con- temptible man I know!’ ‘Evelyn, you did not think so once.’ ‘See here, Robert; do you know what I think now?’ Eve stood on tip-toe to put her hands on her tall brother’s shoulders. ‘I do not believe he is Gerald Ashburton !’ ‘I say I do not believe he is Gerald Ashburton. The Gerald we once knew was geutle-hearted, generous, and just. This man is as cruel as the , grave. ‘But his father, Eve—General Ash- burton would surely know his own son. Then years of foreign travel changes a man’s looks, tastes, and temper wonderfully,’ said Robert, smiling down into the puzzled face. ‘It may be. But I respected the Gerald that went away ; I despise the man that corf’s back bearing his name,’ ‘Why, Eve” ‘I tell you I don’t know,’ with an impatient stamp of her fvot; ‘but I don’t like him. There is something wrong about him; I cannot tell what.’ ‘But you must be civil to him, Eve.’ ‘What for ?’ ‘Because I wish it.’ ‘That is not the reason. You have another—I see it in your face. Tell me what it is, Robert.’ ‘To- morrow will do.’ He tried to laugh gaily, but Eve detected the nervousness in his voice. ‘Brother, you are not well, or troub- led, or something,’ cried Eve, clasp- ing his arm. ‘Nonsense, Eve; I’m well enough. Go and enjoy yourself.’ He hastily wrapped the cloak around her shoulders, and hurried to the carriage; for if there was any- thing that completely unnerved him, it was Fve’s tenderness. An hour later Eve was one of the gayest in Mrs. Rolfe’s aristocratic as- sembly. Her fresh, young face was one of the most admired in the room and a crowd of admirers were contin- ually around her, One in particular—a tall, bronzed gentleman, with dark, fathomless, gray eyes—haunted her likea shadow. His wealth and position were un- uestionable, for General Ashbur- ton’s son was heir to a very large for- tune. Therefore it is not to be won- dered that many bright eyes followed him, or that gracious smiles greeted him on every side, yet without avail, for Gerald Ashburton had eyes for no one but Evelyn Lewis, who shrank from his attentions with a dread she could not understand, She had known Gerald Ashburton from childhood, and the friendliest re- lations had once existed het ween t but an icy wall of coldness, world}i- ness, or diffidence, seemed to rise bee tweena barrier Eve could not une ennai Spestbeleiotnaind derstand, and one which Gerald seem-| often paused, and laid hist bandti | THE Srupip Roy.-+Never set ed determined to pass, for he allowed |some tree or shrab, while’his gray no opportunity of serving her to-elude| eyes ; and his bearded lips move, as if in him. wonld Jighteup with pleasure, Eve had more than once doubted | thatikful prayer. : the identity of the man, bat she could The ‘General stood on the portico not, for her life, have told why.

If he does take all we have in the world, we still have each other.’ Robert looked at her sorrowfully. ‘Your education and training, Eve, will not be much help to you in your battle with the world. I had hoped— and Gerald had expressed a wish that it might be fulfiled— that your at- tachment to him might ripen into a desperate feeling. In fact, Eve, your marriage with Gerald would secure you a luxurious home.’ Eve burst into a flood of passionate tears, and said— ‘I will never marry him—never! We will beg our bread first.’ Robert smiled. The idea of this young, dainty creature begging her bread was sim- ply ridiculous. Yet he soothed her very tenderly, for her home was dear- ly beloved, and the dread of leaving it must be terrible in the extreme. Their parents had both died when - ome A Younc Lapy’s HEART Mispra- CED.—A curious case of malposition of the heart was recently discovered by a physician of this city in a pa- tient who was consulting him for some spinal trouble. The young woman is about twenty years old, of good form, handsome face and pleasing disposi- tion. A careful study of the precise locality and form of the heart shows it to be transferred to the right side of the chest, and, instead of the apex resting just below the breast, it strikes upward against the right col- lar-bone, near its outer third. In this case there must be a double curve to | the large vessels of the heart, and the | base of the heart is downward. In other words, this heart on the wrong side of the body, and is upside down.

Squire Bringle evidently believed he had jurisdic- tion, or he would not have undertaken to dispose of the affair and impose a fine.

Rowan, N. C., April, 4, 1880. Mr. Epiror.—I sce an article in your last | issue from my esteemed friend J. D.

If be will callon me I will show him oar obigation signed by all the land | owneis In this township except two, who re- fused, it is thought on other motiues, and some, very few who have not had an oppor- Councils receipt. Atwelis are joined with ind ure even more unanimorvs than we. i Locke, the first to kick as not joined. J will say as to the charges put in his article, and the miles of fence menioned, it) will wmount to the bill claimed. Bet if IT am right, 20 miles of fence built entirely of new rails at $10 per mile, which is the universal | price for making hauling and puting up pew feneo, would cost but a fraction over $1259.09, But he claims that they have made only 2 or 8 thousand new rails, and Us i Zeus as pastuce fence, which they would have had to build, and a great deal is built ot old rails, hence is not worth as much as new fence, and yet, their bill is but little | beiow the price of an entire new fence, with hho joint owners to share half the expenses. | PT have no doubt he has an excellent fence, and good gates, as he says, as all who Know him, know that le has all work in | | | | | | | ( lwwhieh he cugages done up right. But everything it seems to him, must be paid for by taxes. Now heretofore such fence was beilt in many places by neigh- borhoods, going together and building it as they would help one another to raise a house or pile np logs, and make no charge. Iredell, paid no tax tor her fence, 9 or 10 niles of whieh, isin this township, and lis, and formerly was, owned by our. citi- zens, and where new fences were neces- savy, those along the line, and inside and some outside, too, helped to build it, far- nished all the rails and made no charges. We do not say. that Scotch Irish, charges more for her work done, than Franklin, and other towuships, Where they charge atall. Bat mneh fence built in the other townships would not have been charged forat all had not such Jarge bills been presented, which made them truanp up their charges for selt protection. — Por in- stance, Locke would have charged bat Ht- tle, bet naw will putin a big bill, so will Atwell. Bat we wish to settle all amicably, Land Col. Houck, last Monday, after consulting some of our people, then in Salisbury, agreed to submit the pro- posal to the CBunmissioners, to appoint a committee of one from each towuship, to try and arrange matters satistactorially, as the fenee will not be veeded longer than September, By allowing them a fair sui for the use of the fence, &c., till that time when it will all revert to them, as it would not be just for us to pay fall price for the fence, and then after Sedtember, they get itall. In fact four-fifths of it will never be moved from where it is, a3 it will be used, and much is now used by the citizens. And I hope all will be mag- navimous and enable the committee to ake a harmonious report. A good man has been appointed from this township, also from Atwell’s. Do not know who the others are. | have said tins much ia vindication of the action we bave taken inthe matter. As any one can sce we would have fad all the sarplas taxes to pay, as Locke and Atwell, each contd pat bills to cover their share, Franklin alittle inore than their share and Scotch Irish, treble, Mt. Cia, none, Though you have as down as charging $150.00, we had but 222.00, which amount was expended for entes, charging nothing for our 7 niles of fence.

The discovery was made in this way; about a year ago Mr. Tyre Webb killed a deer on a rocky cliffand in dress- ing the same he whetted his knife on one of the stones and foand it to bea whetstone of a superior quality. He told the secret to Mr. Jacob Carpenter who upon examination found that it was almost a solid mountain of whetstones, and he has since obtained a State Grant for the land and expects soon to manu- in large quantities. A wagoner from Mitchell showed us one of these whetstones which looks like petrified wood, and we think it is the equal of such stones and will put just as smooth an edge ona razor as_ the finest English hone.—Morganton Blade. ——~——P The Handsomest Girl in Rockland. A letter postmarked Bangor and ad- dressed ‘To the Handsomest Young La- dy at Rockland Maine,” was received at the post office in the latter city one day last week. After a consultation between the chief of the oflice and his subordinates, the former oflicial ordered the missive to be displayed through the glass window that some maiden with confidence in her charms might step up anbdfoldly demand her property. The Courier, which is one of the brightest little papers in Maine, by the way, says: ‘ Crowds of women have looked at that envelope, but none have dared to call for it. Maiden ladies in false teeth and falser hair have stood and gazed at the magic direction, and then walked meditatively up and down the corridors, endeavoring to muster courage to face the awfully penetrating eye of the man at the delivery window. Handsome young women, with rosy cheeks and laughing eyes, have seen it and specula- ted as to why it was not given to them without farther delay. Young mea with girls have urged their respective sweet- hearts to step up and ask for what was clearly their own. The amount of trou- ble and worry which that little envelope has created in our city is simply inealeu- lable. And meantime the letter tantaliz- ingly hangs in the window, while the Cerberus at the delivery window awaits with nueasiness and impatience the dread- fal moment when some woman shall de- man the troublesome document, and he shall be forced to compet her to show cause, if any, why he should consider her the party named in the writ.” ———_-— ‘J do love a fool” said Ophicleide, with ‘a scornfal glance at his neighbor. ““ You conceited egotist,” replied Foghors, with scathing ealmness, and the fight was over before the police could get there. ‘ing two ounces.”—Ohar.

Mr. Keller, a farmer, who had formerly been a mer- ehgnt, brought from the old store a quantity of arsenic. Some member of the fumily thoughtless shifted the poison, putting jt into 4 bottle labeled ‘baking powers. Mrs, Keller used a quantity of it iu making biscujts, a fey days ago, of which the whole family ate, aud of course in a very short time al] were very sick. There was a terrible struggle and awful poffering inthe house for the next 24 hours, brit at last accuants it was hoped all would recover. oe a Terriric Storm in Missourt.—One of the most destructive storms on record struck Maunstield, on the St, Louis and San Francisco Railroad, at 8.30 o’eleck, ps m., on the 13th instant. Out of a popu- lation of about 800, 72 were killed, and a larger number wounded. There were 200 houses in the place and only 20 left standing in a damaged condition. All the business houses in the central part of the town except 3 were prostrated. Fire broke out in many places among the fal- len hoases, and it is thought some dead bodies may have been destroyed under them. Assistance was sent to them from along the two ends of the railroad, to bury the dead and relieve the wounded and houseless sufferers. S Echoes from Marshfield. Saint Louis, April 21.—A special from Marshfield says 71 victims of the Sun- day’s storm have been buried, and twen- ty-tive or moreare in a dying condition. The number seriously wounded is about 150. A babe about 18 months old, whose friends were all wounded, was found on the 19th inst., in a ravine north of the town, where it had lain all night. It is vow doing well. Another child, two years old, was found on the afternoon of the 19th in atree top, where it had been nearly 24 hours. It was considerably bruised, but will recover. It was claim- ed yesterday by its parents, who live two miles and a half from the southern por- tion of the town. The child’s aerial flight, therefore, must have extended over three miles. A wagon has been found that was carried four miles by the wind. It is reported that from thirty to forty horses have been killed by a species of tornado in the country, and that the town of Corsicana, in Barry county, is as badly wrecked as Marshfield. > - oe ROTATION IN OFFICE. It is well known to the readers of this paper that we are opposed to rapid rota- tion in office. When once we get the right man in the right place and become well assured of the fact, we think it is far better to keep him in it than to turn him out and put in one who has everything to learn. Weare decidedly conservative on this subject, and make the following extract from an exchange which presents sound views upon it: I believe that public offices are the cre- ation of public necessity ; and that per- sons to fill them should be elected on the sole ground of pre-eminent practical tit- ness, and not by any means as a reward for “high cock o’lorum” wire-pulling ser- vices. 1 also believe in the injunction, “when you have a good thing—save it.” The longer a good man is in office, the more conversant he becomes with its du- ties, and the more correctly and efticient- ly he discharges them, independently of the dicta of cliques and “rings,” and that, therefore, his retention is a public neces- sity and benefit, and that any change in such a case is for the worse, and is fraught with risk and danger, Why should voters treat men they have elected to fill vitally important State and national offices as children do toys? Or follow the example set by the compulsory labor of Sisyphus, who was kept contin- ually rolling a huge rock to the top ofa hill nerely to let it rolldown again? The examples set by the constituents of Clay, Calhoun Webster, Benton, &c., are sate ones to follow. There is small inducement for a public officer to give exclusive and absorbed at- tention to the duties of oftice, and sedu- lous self-improvement therein, for present and future public good, with the certain- ty ever before him of being cast aside at the close of one short term, as if effete, to make room for a successor who fvels him- self a Solon, but whom the retiring man knorcs will be at best atyro for some time. The rotatory idea of filling oftices, isan artifice pregnant with mischief, and is scorned by all thinkers, except the ‘‘outs,” who use it asa trap for the thoughtless. If an officer proves negligent, inefticient maleficent in office, he can be supplanted Without reference to rotation. —_—————>-o i o-e OUR SENATOR. Itis with pride and pleasure that we give place to the following articles re- flecting so complimentary on the Senator af Rowan and Davie. Those of our fel- low citizens of the county who have thought Mr. Henderson had failed in duty to them cannot refuse to do him the justice of giving credit for the good he has done. It will be seen that people in other parts of the State entertain a very high opinion of our Senator, and that of itself is creditable to the voters who sent him to the Legislature. Joun S. HENDERSON, Esg.—We were pleased to meet with gentleman in our city on Saturday. Mr. H. is a very prominent member of the State Senate, and was conspicuous in his effurts to bring about the sale of our road, and its completian tg Nugktown and Paint Rock. It was to his foresight that the people of the State are specially indebted for the amendment making the entire property subject to taxation, thus adding round millions of taxables to the State’s rev- enue. Mr. H. deserves the thanks of the entire State for his faithful and effective public services.— Asheville Citizen. 7 “Honor to Whom Honor is Due.” To the Editor of the Ch urlotte Observer. I trust you will allow me the space in your paper to correct an error that has been made by the Asheville Citizen to the effect that Mr. Carter, a member from that county in the Legislature, had been the means of putting in the Best bill a provision which subjects the Western North Carolina Railroad to taxation. This jaa mistake. To Senator Hender- son, of Rowan, is due thia credit and no other member gf ejther House is entitled in any way ta share it with him. Mr. Henderson syw Mz, Best before the vill was introduced aud said ty him that this property must be subject ty taxation like other property in the State, aud proyis- ion to this effect must go in the bill. Mr. Best yfter some hesitancy assented to the proposition and Senator Henderso had it inserted iu the original Dill ag in- troduced in the Senate. In the different overhaalings through which the bill pass- ed, before the committee, &c., this pro- vision by some means or other was, when the bill was about to pass its final read - ing, found not to bein the Dill. The close, scrutinizing eye of Senator Hen- derson saw the omission aud he at once called the proceedings to a halt and had it inserted. He repaired at once to the House and found that Mr. Carter, the chairman of the House branch of the cemmittee, had also left it out and he there had it inserted. These are the factsas they are well known by many members of both houses. This wise provision accomplished by the foresight of Senator Henderson adds four millions of dollars to the taxable proper- ty of the State and in this proportion re- lieves the burden of taxation. The Senator from Rowan is acknowl- edged to be one of the most useful and efficient members in the General Assem- bly. He is wide awake on every matter affecting the interests of the people and no one more closely investigates every importaut matter. In debate and argu- ment he has but few equals. He is a first- class parliamentarian, always prompt, ready and correct in his decisions, giving more general satisfaction as presiding offi- cer when in the chair than nine-tenths of the Senators. His opinions on all mat- ters of a constitutional and legel charac- ter were held in the highest respect even by those of greater experience and great- ly his superior in years. Heis bigh- toned, honorable, dignified, at the same time genial, affable and whole-souled. Oneof North Carolina’s purest aud noblest sons, Whom she will one day, God spar- ing him, crown with her richest honors. I nomiuate him for Lieut-Governor on the Democratic ticket, believing that he will give greater strength to the ticket than any man inthe State for this position. With Fowle for Governor and Henderson for Lieut-Governor, the Rads would come into the field already beaten. A MEMBER. TT TEE SO Ricnh Scene.—The New York corres- pondent of Hale’s Weekly, puts on record the following amusing Congressional in- cident, of interest to the constituents of Col. Steele, of the 6th District: In the House a few days since Colonel Steele, of your State set a nice little trap for that Couger, of Michigan, into which the usually wary (and of course always liberal, charitable and benevolent!) gen- tlemau walked. It was in the shape of a reviving and resuscitating resolution or bill in behalf of a bill passed many, many years ago by Congress for the erection of a monument near Beattie’s Ford, North Carolina, to the memory of Gen. Davidson, who fell there in a battle with Lord Corn- wallis in 17813 and which monument has never been built. As usual the House Was in uproar and confussion, but Couger was watching. Mr. Steele spoke of Da- vidson as a ‘*Rebel General” and a North Carolinian ; that was enough, Conger was “up and at him” in a minute! ‘Does the gentleman from North Carolina propose — does he dare to prapose, that the Ameri- can Congress shall go to building monu- ments to rebels and traitors?” [He had only heard a part of Col. Slecle’s bill and remarks.) “Yes,” answered Steele, in his inimitable manner; ‘and if the gen- say to him that I have the author- ity of the King of England and of the British Parliament for so calling Gen. Davidson, who has been dead nearly a hundred years!” Conger wilted for once, and honest folks langhed. ac eI There is a new departure in school teaching just now on experimental test in Boston, resembiing the kindergarten system in which, for the young pupils, books are discarded, and children are learned to read and spell by exercises on the black board. To illustrate: the teach- er draws the picture of aman on the board, and asks his pupils what it is. They answer—“a man.” He then writes under the picture the word “man,” and the pupils are set to drawing on their slates the picture and wijting the word ; and so they proceed from one subject to another. Pupils begin their education with writing and reading. This sy stein is de- signed after mother teaching, and tides the pupil over the arbitrary rules of the pres- ent systein beginning with a, b,c, until his mind is better prepared to grapple with books. oO Another Bankrupt Billin Congress. Wasuincton, April 17.—A short while ago Mr. Conkling introduced into the Senate a voluminous bankrupt bill, and now Mr. Hutchins, a Democratic member from the same State, has introduced a bankiupt bill making one hundred pages. It provides that the District Courts of the United States shall be congtituted counts of bankruptcies, and shall have original jurisdiction in their own district in all matters and proceedings in bankruptcy. Their jarisdiction is to extend to all con- troversies between bankrupts and their creditors, to the collection of all assets of bankrupts, to the ascertainment and liquidation of the leins and other specific leins ¢thereon, to the adjustment of the various priorities and conflicting interests of all parties, to the marshaling and dis- position of the different funds and assets so as tosecure the rights of all parties and due distribution of the assets among all the creditors, and to all ucts, matters and things to be done under and in vii- tue of the bankruptcy until the final dis- tribution and settlement of the estate of the bankrupt and the close of the pro- ceedings in bankruptcy.

The surplus gold is actually needless so tar as UTILITY and beauty are concerned. In James Boss’ PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity and strength produced at from one third to one half oi tbe usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most siinple nature, as fullows: A plate of nickle composition metal, especially adapted to the purpose, kas two plates of solid gold solder- ed one on each side. The three are then pass- ed between polished steel rollers, ard the re- sult isa strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases. backs, centres, bezels, &e., arecut and shaped by suitable dies and formera. The gold in these cases is sufficient- ly thick toadmit of all kinds of chasing, en- graving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfccily smooth by time and uge without removing the gold. This is the only Case Made with Two Plates of Solid Gold & Warranted by Special Certificate. For sale by J. & H. HORAH, and all other Jewelerr. 22:ly Foundery & Machine a -f- -~.

The | smaller | The whole amount of taxes allowed by | [the Charter of the Town of Sacisbary to) ibe levied for all purposes cannot exceed | | fifty cents on the ove hundred dollars of ; | property, and one dollar and fifty cents on | ithe poll. Before the passage of the Act | establishing Graded Schools, the Munici- | jpal Authorities had the power to go up | to the full limit of this rate of taxation, | | and usually did so. Last year, however, ! | 1 believe the rate was forty-one and two- | third cents on property, and one dollar | _|and twenty-five cents on the poll. The Graded School Bill, as originally | jdratted and sent to me, authorized a spe- | icial tax of twenty-five cents on property | j and seventy-five cents on the poll for the | [tirst year, and for each subsequent year a | special tax of twenty cents on property, and sixty cents ou the poll--to be levied on all subjects of taxation, in addition to the tares allowed by the Charter. If the: bill hgigpansed in this shape, the munici | pal raft taxation for the tirst year might have reached seventy-five cents on | property and two dollars and twenty-five | cebts ou tie poll, and for each subsequent | year could, and doubtless would, have | reached seventy cents on property aud two | doilars and ten cents on the poll. As strong a friend, however, as Tam to the cause of education, both for the child- ren of the white race and for the children | -of the colored race, [ was nat prepared to | lendorse such a high taxation as this. I was satisfied that the Graded Schools ‘could be efticiently orgavized and liberal- ily supported by the ‘Town, without any | inerease of the rate of taxation authorized by the Charter; and [ think so still. In ‘order therefore to obviate all difficulties, and to do impartial justice to the tax- payers as well as the friends ot education in our town, I tacked on an amendment to the bill, providing, in subtance, that iv no event should the taxes to be levied by the town for all purposes in avy oue year exceed fifty cents on property, and one dollar and fifty cents on the poll, x- ‘cept for this proviso, | believe the Law would have tailed of ratification by the people. It has now been adopted, how- ever, by a handsome majority, and. we /may soon expect to see two good Graded | Schools iu operation—one for either race— jand this too without any appreciable in- | crease of the rate of taxation, or any de- 'triment toa proper, or efficient adminis- ‘tration of the government of the town. | Joun S.

Editor Watchman—The wheels of time have rolled the good people of this hamlet into the enjoyment of the morning of the day of the date of this letter. Since my last letter, they have had the usial routine of the troubles and perplexities incident to human life, yet not one has become so dis- gusted with the things of this world as to withdraw to distant shades to seek a tran- quil, though suicidal death at the lower end ofarope. To say that such thing as hy- pochondria in men, or hysteria (fiddle- sticks) in women, is unknown it this vicini- ty would be saying more than a strick re- gard for truth would warrant; but justice would certainly say that such diseases are no more common here than at other places. Our whole country being under the influence of a great dermatopathic epidemic, the peo- ple in this part are having their share, in the shape of False Measles. This disease, which is the Rosecola of some dermatologists, is, as I understand, now prevalent in a great portion of North Carolina. In this neigh- borhood, it is often mixed with other der- mal affections, whose elementary character- istics are widely different from its own, and is unusually severe, many cases being little, if at all, inferior, in poiut of gravity, to true Measles. On the evening of the 11th inst., a great aorthwestern wind (of Alaskan origin, I sup- pose) arose, and swept mercilessly for 12 hours, and with a speed of not less than 100 miles per hour, over the country about this place, killing almost the entire crop of aches set for the present year, and causing many of us to believe that he who spends lthe victim of ill-timed potations home brideless, but with a skinfuFef sore labored him soundly with a stout [tion from the altar-steps, Ina stentorian voice, he declared his,daughter freed from her matrimonial engagement, and further | stated that any eligible candidate for her hand, presenting himsclf then and there, |might wed her on the spot, without incur- ring any expense, and count upon a fond parent’s tender blessing to boot. pirants came forward. the br | : : jaltar where, a few minutes later, he was to look on remained to be bones. +p Tur Girt Pornp in Coina.—Moung Ed- win, a Burmese, who has been educated in this country with the view of sending him as a Baptist missionary to Burmah, lectured Speaking of the de- plorable condition of women in the East, owing mainly to pecenliar religious teach- recently in Baltimore. ings, he said: “Girls in China are believed to have no souls, and to kill them is not murder, and therefore not to be punished.

The party arrived Saturday t f welcome at all towns along the route. Yes- terday the visitors spent the day inspecting the attractions of the city. All classes in .| the community participated in the welcome. The forenoon was spent in visiting the churches and driving about the city, and in the afternoon the visitors enjoyed a pleasant trip to Fort Moultrie and the beach of Sul- livan’s Island. This morning a grand ex- cursion was given on the steamship ‘Moro Castle,” during which the visitors were the guests of the Chamber of Commerce and the citizens of Charleston. A banquet was served in the main saloon, at which speech- es were made by the mayor of this city, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and others, which were fittingly responded to by Messrs. E. P. Ransom, T. F. Covington and Jas. G. Sextol, of Cincinnati. The ves- sel, after steaming around the harbor, pro- ceeded across the bar, giving all on board an excellent view of Fort Sumter, the na- tional jetties and other points of interest. cere ay Tue Tosacco Fry anp How To FiGut It,.—The Danville Register tells in the following how to “ gobble up” the fly : “The cold, windy weather of the last few days has had the effect to check the growth of the tobacco plants in the beds, and the depredations of the flies or bugs have become more noticeable. A farmer mentioned to us yesterday a plan he t 1 J of these insects, Which others had tried with success. It was to select a hen with young chickens and confine her iu a coop on the border of the plant bed, so that the little chicks could wander among the plants and pick off the bugs. We never before heard of this mode of extermina- tion, but it strikes us as being worthy of atrial. Itis well known that a flock of turkeys turned into a tobacco field are most efficient wormers, and with their keen eyes and sharp bills pick the tobac- co worms off cleaner than a man would.” ee The Treaty of 1850. The Monroe Doctrine and the Isthmus Canal. Washington, April 16.—The House committee on foreign affairs, to which was referred the several joint resolutions relating to the Monroe doctrine in con- nection with the proposed interoceanic canal, reported to the House to-day a substitute for those measures, which pro- vides that steps shall at once be taken to abrogate the treaty of April 10th, 1350, between the United States and Great Britain, commenly known as the Clayton Bulwer treaty, by which the contracting powers bind themselves to guarantee jointly the safety and freedom of any ca- nal which should be constructed across the central American isthmus, The com- wittee reports that this treaty is an ob- stacle and possible peril in the way of a complete and pacific assertion of a sound, necessary and vigorous American policy. ee The Bayonet Bill in the House. Representative Ewing, of Ohio, made a | ringing speech on the amendment to the ‘bayonet bill. When the vote was taken it was found that 95 persons, all Republi- cans, were iu the House of Representa- tives who held that it was highly proper and necessary in a country claiming to be free and calling itself a Republic for arm- ed soldiers to guard the polling places and help freemen preserve their liberties by intimidation. As Gen. Ewing told these enemies of civil liberty—no &nglo- Saxon in England had ever voted in the sight of bayouets. It is reserved for this age and country for such an outrage upon freemen to be attempted. It is nota mat- ter of surprise that Grant should be the choice of the machine politicians. Not one of them cares the snap of his finger for his country or for the liberties of the people only so far as he can hold office and gather into his coffers the hard earn- ings of the people. Grant is their ideal, for be is the true representative of the idea of force and pillage. He is a fit sac- cessor in this century of Attilla and Ala- rie. " Gen. Ewing showed up the atter absar- dity and inconsistency of the action of the Stalwarts in objecting to the proposed amendment. Not only had a majority of the Republicans, as we showed yesterday, voted for this very amendment during the extra session, but Hayes had actually approved of it. But more than this: Gen, night, having received manifestations of Let the Re ican it deserves myo as pe diay + in elections. Lt it be branded and pillor- ied asthe pai ty that would destroy free, fair, honest elections under the specious guise of guarding the polls with bayonets aud protecting electors in their rights. The Republican leaders well duderstand that a frev, fair, full election and an hen- est count mean death to all cheir hopes. Let the voice of the people be heard and the disintegration and destruction of the Republican party is inevitable. Held to- gether by the cohesive power of public plunder, it will dissolve like the snow under the heat of the sun just as soon as the pay and provender are forever with- drawn. Like the banditti of Greece, or the buccaneers of the past, they will seek new alliances and new fields for maraud- ing and pillage. The Republican party, in. its infamous, vindictive and corrupt record, stands con- vieted of being the enemy of ,the peace, the prosperity, the honor, and the liber- ties of their country. Its last record is the vote of its leaders in the House that no freeman—no qualified elector—-shall be allowed to vote unuless under guard, and that his keeper shall be an armed soldier of the United States. When Paul the Apostle was a prisoner at Rome he was chained to a soldier. This was in the daysof the Caesars. When a free born citizen of the United States shall be called upon to exercise the highest privilege and authority under the constitution of his country—that of a sovereign casting his ballot to express his choice—he shall be guarded by a cor- don of soldiers with shotted guus and fix- ed bayonets. But this is in the time of that other Cassar who would fain wear a crown, and in the last quarter of the uine- teenth century after the advent of the Prince of Peace.— Wil. Star.

RESOLVED, That we will cherish his memory and emulate his example in the hope that when the last summons comes it may find each one of us, asit found him, panoplied in the full armor of faith. We thank God for his life and we have hope in his death, for he ‘‘used the office of deacon well and purchased to himself a good degree and great boldness in the faith.” RESOLVED, That we tender to his sorely stricken family our sincere syinpathies, and pray that the consolations of our holy religion may be vouched- safed to them.

The July sunshine cast its glitter- ing sheen over Ivor Hall gilding the gray ol] tower with golden radi- ance. Out in the garden sits the owner of this antiqne splendor, lazily watching the frantic efforts of a lit- tle King Charles spaniel which is Sttempting to visit punishment on a Jarge, blue-bottle fly, that, with the eharacteristic pertinacity of its race, is buzzing noisily about his majesty’s @arr, Five years ago when Carl Trevan- jon was nineteen, a heartless flirt much older than himself, chose to beguile her tedious hours by laying seige to to his honest, boyish heart, After he had been led into giving her the full wealth of that romantic, passionate, wnaelfish love which youth alone has to bestow, she coolly laughed at his folly, aud ‘informed him that she was already engaged. Shortly afterwards, Carl had gone abroad, and remained there four years. Now, after enjoying, or, rather, en- during London society for one year, he has come down to Ivor Hall, the old family mansion, hoping to find solitude and freedom from designing females. Presently he hears the keel of a boat grating on the pebbly shore of the lake; then a slight, girlish figure springs to the land, and runs up the bank, calling in a half shrill, half aweet voice to the huge dog following, She reaches the door leading into the tower, pushes it open, ard enters like one accustomed to the premises. ‘Well, that’s Carl, ‘Monopolizes my boat, my tower, and perhaps intends to monopolize me!’ cool muses This last in some alarm, his mind | reverting to the numerous innocent- | ‘very lauzh cuts athwart the stillness, then, just afterfards, he recognizes, emerging from’3 clump of lilads, his visitor of yesterday, talking playfully to her dog. Carl closes his eyes hoping she will think him asleep, and so leave him p2ace. But Fern has no such intencion, and trips fearlessly up the steps, holding Towser by the collar, ‘Asleep! Well, I’ll havea peep at him, and see if he looks as savage as he acts.’ Suiting the action to the words, she advanced to within a few feet of his chair, then stops short with a little dismayed, ‘Oh’ At this unlucky moment Towser gives a low growl, and Carl opens his eyes. Fern is transfixed ; what shall she do? Pat had told her Mr. Trevanian was old, wore a wig, and hated young ladies and she had come here for the express purpose of defying him, and then coaxing him over to reason, which to Fern, means letting her have unlimited sway overall his goods and chattels. But this handsome young man, this faultless, blonde gentleman, looking at her with such an amused expres- sion in his dark-blue eyes, surely surely, he is not Mr. Trevanian ? These thoughts flashed through her brain as she stands before him with down-dropped eyes and flaming cheeks. ‘Well,’ questions Carl, ‘what can I do for you? ‘Nothing ; 2 I—I was looking for— my picture,” with asudden brighten- ing, and a half shy, half sauey glance upward, ‘What kind of a picture was it ?’ asks Carl, surprised at his eagerness to help her. ‘There were two of them ina vel- looking damels who had laid seige to| vel case, one was myself, and the oth- his heart and fortune without slightest warrant for doing so, Pretty soon, hearing the gardener’s | step approaching behind him, he rises and goes leisurely towards him, say- ing— ‘Pat, I want that gate kept closed, and a placard put on it warning off tresspassers. ‘Shure, an’ it’s the young leddy ye be’s shuttin’ out ?’ ‘Yes, it’s the ‘young leddy,’ or any- one else who dares disturb my quiet,’ | returns Carl, savagely, turning toward the lake, A few yards from the deserted boat | he comes across a small, dark object lying onthe sand; he stoops and Do not forget it, now.’ the | er was ‘Your Carl, thinking of the picture in his breast sweetheart,’ asserts pocket, and which he has no inten- tion of removing. She laugh merrily, but her pink cheeks grew a shade deeper. ‘Some truth in that,’ he secretly envying the dark, handsome Harry Chester. Then a search is made through the tower and prolonged and _ fruitless grounds for the missing picture, du- ring wid time Carl becomes aware of his companion’s identity, and her many former trespasses on his domain and to tr *3 as much and often as she \ receives playful permission ' y picks itup; it is a small, blue velvet case, containing two pictures; one, a strikingly onleny: young man, un-| der which is written in pencil, ‘Har- ry Chester; the other a lovely, young girl, with deep, limpid gray eyes look- ing earnestly out from the sweet, | childish face.

Then a great throb of ten- derness stirs his heart, and she is clasped ina passionately fund em- brace. For a few moments neither of them speak ; such moments are too full of rapture to allow of words. Overhead the moon looks down in calm, majestic radiance, and, piercing through the branches of the oversha- s dowing tress, sheds a long rift of sil- very brightness on Fern’s rippling brown hair, as her head rests passive- ly against her lover’s shoulder.

Give me your approval,’ The elder sister looked at a couple of open letters lying on the writing desk before which the speaker sat, her cold, gray eyes softening a little as she replied ; ‘If you tell me which of the two |you have chosen, I can answer you.’ ‘You ought to know, without being told,’ Stella laughed. ‘Clarence of course,’ ‘Stella,’ she said, ‘I’m sorry. Not that I bear Clarence Henshaw any ill will, but, child, yeu are pot suited to be a poor man’s wife. Remember: you are proud, and have been reared in ease and comfort. Follow my ad- vice, and marry Henry Lakeman.’ Stella shook her head. ‘No, Belle ; I wouldn’t marry Hen- ry Lakeman if he were a hundred times richer than he is.’ She slipped a picture into its en- velope, with a long glanee at the view it imaged, ‘It is a lovely plaee,’ she sighed, ‘and I would like to live there.’ The sister was watching, and, stoop- ing, kissed the smooth, white brow, while she said: ‘Don’t be too hasty, Stella. If you covet this pretty home of Henry Lake- man’s, accept it.’ ‘But I love Clarence Henshaw. 1 prefer a cottage with him to a man- sion with Henry,’ | Miss Lawson turned to the window | with a sorry look. Some sweet dream | of her own girlhood was in her memo- ry, perhaps, but she held it worse than folly ! . . . | Love, in her estimation, was no bal- | | | to indulge in regrets. ance in the scales with wealth. ‘Stella,’ she continued, very grave - ily, (L have acted the part of a mother |for many years; my wish has ever |been that you forma wealthy mar- riage, You lova Juxury, you enjoy | display, and f am not saying too much lwhen I add that you worship beauti- ‘fulapparel.

As his wife you will be sub- |ject to all manner of privations; be | to live content in a common way, stint and manage and economize the best you cau. How long will that suit a girl of your tastes? Think well of it. Ishall let you have your own choice in regard to marriage.’ ‘My mind is made up,’ Stella res- ponded readily. She took up the view, slipping a letter into its envelope while she spoke. ‘If 1 favored his suit, I was to keep it, sister Belle,’ she continued, touch- ing the edge of the wrapper to her rosy lips, and sealing it with a heavy siap of the hand. ‘I do not, you will observe. Ill never be sorry, I know,’ she murmured, turning the envelope to look at its superseription, ‘Your happiness i3 within your own grasp, Stella. You’ll recall my words some day.’ And with a stately gait Belle Lawson left her. Stella ran lightly up the stairs to her own room and touched the bell in great haste. ‘You will oblige me by thiis at once,’ she said to the servant who answered her call, handing him this very envelope, ‘aud,’ she said, smiling and blushing, ‘be careful of this,” putting ‘another letter into his hand. ‘Leave it with no one but the person to whom itis addressed. Mind!’ she called, as he turned to obey. ‘There’ll be no mistake, Miss,’ and that night a perfumed note lay ou Clarence Henshaw’s pillow, and he, foolish fellow, was transported to the upper heaven of delight over its con- mailing tents. Three months later they were mar- ried. They were a happy and hope- fal couple. The life upon which they had entered was like a new unex- plored country, but Clarence meant to work hard, and felt little or no doubt in regard to their future. He was equal to any undertaking in his own determination that would promote his wife’s happiness, and as to Stella, she would do anything to help her hus- band. He had been a bookkeeper for many years, and had the promise of some- thing a little better yebthe coming So the first few months of season. SALISBURY, N. C., APRIL 29, 1880. their married life ran smoothly. They rented a house in a pleasant part of the city, kept a servant, and Stella wore the pretty clothes which had been provided ut the time of her mar- riage, and wondered why sister Belle jhad such funny notions about mar- rying a poor man. But toward the close of the first year of their weded life his firm was said to be under heavy liabilities, and the anniversary of their marriage found the house bankrupt and Clar- ence out of a situation. He applied at this and that place, but month after months slipped by and he found no opening. They mov- ed out of the house and took cheaper rooms in another part of the city. By this time their funds began to run low, and Stella wanted something uew for her wardrobe. Already she had be- gun to show signs of discontent. ‘I shall find something by and by,’ the husband said bravely. It was at this trying time that a little spec of humanity was put into Stella’s arms, and its feeble cty told that the responsibility of motherhood was hers, ‘I am the happiest Clarence exclaimed, caressing wife man alive,’ and child. The very happiest,’ he re- peated again, kissing the baby boy. ‘Let pride go to the dogs, Srella,’ he added, remembering that now his responsibility was greater than before. ‘They waut workmen on the new city hall. give us bread.’ I'll take my hammer—it will She ought tohave been contented, ought to have thought with pride of the mav who would thus brave the world’s opinion, We went out in early morning, and came home late at night, as other workinen did, his handsome face glow- ing with love. Bat the thought that her husband was brought down to. the level of a common laborer, burt her. Sister Belle had said that her tastes were luxurious, and she wanted a pretty home now, and fine apparel for herselfand baby. The people of the world in which she had lived had never to count their money to know if they could buy a new dress. She had never been taught to make the best of whatever circuin- stance you may be placed in, and why should she now? The little privations she endured worried and vexed her, and in a lit- tle while the sweet-tempered woman grew moody and down-hearted. She became careless in her dress, and in- stead of the cheerful little wife he used to see, he found a gloomy wo- man aud disorderly house. But he never complained. ‘Stella is homesick,’ he woul say ; ‘and the care of baby is to much for her. I must make some money,’ and his hammer rang with redoubled energy. , Yet every day her discontent grew more apparent. The place and the people wéré so repulsive to her refined and sensitive nature, ‘How - ean you expect me to live among such surroundings, Clarence ?’ was her appéat when the husband begged her to be of good cheer. ‘It’s cruel in you,’ slie sobbed. ‘I want to be back’’again in my old home, among my own frieuds.’ The warm glow came to his face, and he drew hef tenderly towards him without a word, but there was a look piteous to see in his handsome eyes, was to work still while his resolve harder. To conquer fortune, however, re- quires stardy strokes. There came a day, later a little— ‘for some days ‘must be dark and dreary’—when it did seem that mat- ters had cone to a crisis. The city hall was finished long ago, the Odd Fellows’ building completed, and the last stroke had been given to the new church. Clarence must look for something new. Jennie, who had minded Freddy for two or three months had to go, and all the household cares fell upon Stella’s hands. They had moved from place to place sinee Freddy’s birth, hoping to find a house with which Stella would be content. ‘But these people are all alike,’ she said, ‘and I may as well be in one place as another,’ was her reply to Clarance, when he suggested that they move into another blogk. It was unwomanly in her to say this, she knew, the moment the words escaped her lips, and she thought to to run after her husband and beg his forgiveness, but just then Freddy caught at her dress, causing her to spill the water she was pouring into the tea kettle, which only inereased her vexation. ‘You cross, little, troublesome thing! she exclaimed, impatiently.’ ‘Take that!’ Jaying her band heavily on the little bare shoulders. ‘I’m sick to death with having you always hang- ing to my skirts’ . - With this she let fall the earthen pitcher she held in her hand, and dropping into the nearest chair burst into hysterical weeping. Freddy, with the prints of: her fingers still red on his neck, toddled to her side and tried to climd into her Jap. But she pushed him away croasly, with: ‘Go play with your blocks and horses; I don’t want yon near me; and her hand was raised to lay on the rosy cheek. ‘Don’t do anything you’ll be sorry fur by-aud-by, Stella,’ Clarence said, coming into the room just then. Something in his face stayed her hand just on the moment, and she rose to her feet, flushing with shame and anger. ‘I thought you’d gone down town,’ | she replied, sharply. ‘Oh, dear! if, I'd minded sis Belle Lshouldn’s have’ been here. She was right. I had no business to marry a poor man,’ ‘Youre not quite yourself this morning, Stella,’ and his eyes were full of unshed tears as he caught sight of the red marks on their baby’s neck, ‘Do yousuppose I ean endure every- thing?’ she cried spitefully, ‘You are nervous and tired, dear, Come,’ and he put out his hands to clasp her. _. She glided from himiand went into the adjoining room. Something wet fell on the baby’s head, and he pressed him closely to his bosom, as he canght the sound of her sobbing. ‘I have heard of something new this morning, Stella, and I’m going to New York by the next train,’ Hic tried to say it cheerfully. ‘You’re always hearing of some- was her quick reply ; 9? thing new,’ ‘but what does it amount to ‘So [am hoping for something bet- ter, and think I have found it now.’ He rocked Freddy to sleep, put him into his crib, then went to the door of his wife’s room, ‘Are you going to kiss me good-by | Stella? he asked, opening the door very softly. ‘I may be gone a day or two.’ ‘No,’ she replied, coldly ; ‘you'll be back soon enough,’ ‘IT will come as soon as I can; but T might never return, you know.’ ‘See, if you are not back as soon as you can come, with the same old story.’ Clarence turned quickly, but she the look on his face, and never forgot it. She heard him cross the room, and knew he bent over Freddy’s crib, and kissed the little sleeper again and 5aW again. ‘He’ll come back to me before he really goes,’ she whispered to herself starting up and going toward the door; but a turn in the street hid him from sight when she reached the window. He had gone, and for the first time without kissing her good-by. ‘Well, we've been married long enough to be done. with such non- sense,’ she said at last, by way of con- solation ; yet there was a terrible ache at her heart, and she secretly wished she could throw herself into her hus- band’s arms and tell him how sorry she was for it all. She sat quite stiJl until Freddy awoke, then with a cry of terror she ran across the hall to the nearest neighbor, with ‘Please come, Mrs. Wilson, my baby’s dying.’ Mrs.' Wilson came, for though rough of manner she was kind of heart. ‘He’s in a fit,’ she said, the moment her eyes rested on the little sufferer. ' times as he wished. called, ‘and help to get off his clothes.’ Stella obeyed, ~- ‘Hold him so,’ was her command, putting him in the bath. ‘I will run home and get some medicine. Such women as you ain’t fit for mothers, she contined, returning with her hands full of bottles. ‘O, Freddy,’ cried Stella, dropping on her knees, ‘if you’ll only get well, I will try so hard to beax everything.’ ‘And what trials have you to bear? asked Mrs. Wilson. “You have a pretty home,’ looking about the room, ‘if it was put in order.’ ‘It isn’t like the house I’m ased to.’ “Young people don’t expect to be- gin where old folks left off. They mast make their own homes.’ ‘I never understood it so. Sister Belle is the only mother I ever knew and her advice was neyer to marry a poor man,’ ‘So you keep finding fault and complaining when your husband is trying in every way to make an hon. est living. [tis wonder that you haven’t driven him to drink long ago.’ ‘But my husband is a good man,’ replied Stella, warmly, resenting the last part of the speech. ‘He has shown himself tobe a good man.’ The woman said it in good faith, wrapping Freddy in soft flannels and administering a quieting potion. She had been watching the movement of this couple ever since they came to live in the house. ‘My baby will get well, won’t he?’ was said, pleadingly, and the poor thing sobbed again as if her heart would break. ‘Yes, indeed.’ ‘And you willstay with me through the night? forgetting that she was one of ‘those people.’ ‘I’d stay with you a whole blessed week,’ replied the true hearted Mrs. Wilson, ‘if I could make you a wife worthy of your husband.’ Tell me what I shall do and I'll do it faithfully and willingly, and without complaining.’ All through the long night hours, while Feddy lay between life ‘and death, Mrs. Wilson worked over him bravely, and told the girl mother chapters in her own life experiences. There were passages over which Stel- la wept bitterly, and when morning dawned, giving back the child from danger, in place of the fickle, unrea- sonable woman, there was_ one ready to meet life’s work with a firm pur- pose and strong heart. She tidied up each apartment, and instead of going about in a dowdy wrapper, put on a fresh dress, arrang- ed her hair becomingly and changed the pucker of her mouth for her own rosy lips. ‘You are a pretty little thing,’ Mrs. Wilson told her, when she had fastened a knot of blue ribbon in her blonde hair. ‘See after baby, now. ll look in every now and then through the day, and to-night will come back to you. Your husband will be here to-mor- row morning.’ ‘Yes,’ replied Stella, with a bright look in her eyes. ‘He will be here by 10 o’clock.’ After all it was a long time to wait she thought. She was so impatient to tell him—and she would kiss many ‘Yes, indeed,’ she eXclaimed, joy- fully, bending over Freddy’s crib, ‘we'll kiss papa a hundred thousand times, won’t we, dear.’ ‘I do wish Clarence would come,’ she kept saying next morning. ‘What detains him® she continued, when the clock was on the stroke of 12. ‘What if—’ and her heart lay like lead in her bosom as she recalled the look she last saw on his face. ‘What if he never comes back!’ she mur- mured, going into her own room. ‘Mrs. Wilson,’ she called ‘where is my husband.’ In an instant the dear, good soul was beside her, resting a hand tender- Lewes. of her yoice answering Freddy, and, with the ery, she fell: - "Poor, tired, inexperiened wife and mother! Was the ordeal ordered ? With the help of a neighbor Mrs. Wilson laid her on the bed. ‘Ron for the doctor,’ she said to Miss Williams, ‘Bat you don’t know—’ ‘I do,’ sheinterupted. ‘Mrs. Hen- shaw will have a run of nervous fe- ver, and whether her hasband is dead or alive, can’t say.’ When Stella opened her eyes again it was nearly night, She knew no one about the bed, but talked to Clar- ence and Freddy and sister Belle. . She was going to help her husband now. She’ could earn money by teaching music, or painting, or might have a few pupils in dancing,’ she added. ‘But forgive me for strik- ing—’ and her arms were put up as if to clasp something, when she dozed again. Late that evening Clarence came in sight of home. Contrary to Mrs. Wilson’s conjecture, he came by a different route. He had thought to telegraph, ‘But Stella won’t worry,’ he said, ‘if I am late.’ The light faded from his eyes and his face turned ghastly when he look- ed into the rooms. ‘Both gone? he groaned, walking from the bed to the crib. ‘No, no,’ Mrs. Wilson said, com- fortingly. Baby’s better, and your| wife will come out of this. All she needs is good nursing, and that she, shall have,’ turning aside her head | and drying her eyes with the corner: of her apron. What could we do if such as she were not stationed all along the walks of life ? It was painful to listen to the wild talk. ‘If I might endure it,’ Clarence said so many times. When at last Stella awoke faom the terrible dream, her husband was bending over her. | ‘Clarence,’ she said very s first, ‘Clarence she repeated,§ her arms about his neck, ‘i forgive me for striking Freddy, I’ll kiss you, oh, so many times!’ Foolish fellow ! he cried like a ba- by. ‘Listen, Stella,’ he said, as soon as he command his voice, listen! I, did get the situation, and you can have everything you want,’ touching bis lips to her cheek and forehead, | ‘and you are going to have such a’ pretty house in Brooklyn!’ | ‘All I want is your love,’ clasping - him close, ‘and that Freddy will get well. I’m ready to be a poor man’s wife!’ | an SKETCHES OF RADICALISM. —_—— From the Salisbury Examiner. At the beck of political hate and human vengeance, the black waters of revolution and crime had engulfed and buried be- neath theirangry wavesand frothy surface the mortal forms of a million men, yet the demon spirit of Radical malignity was not satisfied. The last dying echoes of sangiunary strife had searcely ceased, when a new war of words and deeds, of bitter persecutions and cruel exactions, was inaugurated against the fallen and defeated people of the South. This war. was prosecuted with even more delibera- tion, relentless assiduity, and remorseless diobolism than the actual conflict of arms. The soldiers who engaged in this new crusade were not those who had measur- ed strength with the gallant Confederates; they were too brave; but the political buammers, cowards and sneaks, contrac- tors and thieves, who had grown rich out of the distress, calamity, and blood of their country. These were they who de- manded confiscation as the price of vic- tory, enforced disfranchisement, and did all in their power to humiliate and de- grade our people to the level with the ne- groes. ; - Abont this time, 14th April, 1865, a crazy and cowardly assassin, Jobu Wilkes Booth, an actor of note, and son of Junius Bruitus Booth, the famous English trage- dian, killed Mr. President Lincoln, the head-center of the Radical war; and this , ‘circumstance was used to intensify the feeling of the North against the South. Vice President Johnson became President, aud among his first acts, and in which was evinced his hostility to the South, was his disapproval of the “Sherman-John- ston Convention,” which was formally ly on the aching head. True-hearted woman! She sorank from saying it had been a dreadful night on the sound, and that a steam- g I er had collided with the New York boat. “Her husband travels by boat,’ had been her conclusion. ‘ agreed to, and signed by them, on the 18th of April, 1865. Next, he issued a so-call- ‘ed Peace Proclamation; and on the same day, 29th May, '65, he issued another Proclamation as Commander-in-chief of the armies of the United States, appoint- ing a Provisional Governor of North Car- olina, and providing for the assemblage of ‘Bring me some water, quick,’ she’ Stella caught at her arm, the sound a» Convention in this State, to form a new under the Constitution of the State aa ft existedewhen the war began, to the’ éx- clasion of others, No new clement, of constituency was introduced. The course was adopted with ito. the other Southern States. The people. of North Carolina and theother lately séced- ed States complied with the terms requir- ed of them—annulled their Oran: Secession; renewed their obligations to the Federal Union; made jpn for their own government, and alaoaccept- ed and adopted the Thirtecm’h Amend- ment to the ‘Copstitation of the Usited States asa of the war, which pro- vided for the. Jirdh of slavery. ever in all the States. They also Senators and Members to the Federal Congress, got down on their knees and eat dirt, fawned and slobbered over their late enemies, but all to no purpose, For on the assembling of the 39th. Congress: of the United States, in December, 1865, the policy thus inaugurated by Mr. John- son, was most bitterly assailed by the Radical agitators. They then had a ma- jority in both Houses and denied to the ten late Confederate States, representa: ' tion in either. They insisted that. the Union should not be restored, but “re- constructed” on a new basis of constitu- ency in these ten States. They went to work and forged the Fourteenth Amend- ment, more exacting than the former ; yet denied the South any voice in its adoption. Upon this great outrage against civil lib- erty and government of congent, the South looked with calm dignity, nobler iu her helplessness than ever before. Her qutet, orderly, behavior, however, seemed to ex- cite more intensely the vindictiveness of her insatiable enemies ; for at the next ses- sion the Radicals resorted to the revolution- ary course of declaring all the Southern , States to be in a state of rebellion,and divid- ing them into five military districts, anda military commander was placed over each. All the State officials, executive, Legisla- tive and Judicial, in each and all were re- moved from office; the writ of Habeas Corpus was suspended in time of profound peace, and near nine millions of people put under absolate military sway. The men who sanctioned and defended these villainous acts are still holding office and are paid out of the taxes of the peo- ple. Yea, some of them are now seeking anew lease of power, and a continuation in office, and have the brason effrontery— the impudence—to ask Conservatives and Democrats to support them. This new war like the other, was not only waged against the people of the South, but against the Censtitution of our conntry. Mr. Johnston vetoed the revolationary measures of reconstruction ; but they were passed by a two-third vote over his veto. A quarrel ensued between him and Mr. Stanton, Secretary of War, who defied the President and continued to hold his place after he had been dismissed. These things led to the impeachment of Mr. Johnson by the Radical House, on the 22d of Feb- ruary, 1863. The Senate, setting asa high Court of impeachment, Chicf Justice Chase presiding, came toa decision on the 26th of May, when a conviction failed by a majority of one vote only. This persecution of Mr. Johnson, was a piece of the malignity manifested toward the Soath. Uuder the military domination of the Radical Revolutionary Reconstructive measures, bew Conventions were called in the late so-called ‘“‘rebellious States.” The old Constitutional Constituencies of these States were disregarded in the for- niation of this second crop of Conventions. Thousands upon thousands of the best and most intelligent citizens of the white race in all these States were disfranchis- ed, while unlimited suffrage was given to the late slaves and ignorant black people. Did ever fanaticism, malice, and pretend- ed statesmanship stoop so low before? or assume a role so transcendent) y infamous? In the Fall of 1868, another Federal election took place, the opposing eandi- dates on tle Radical side, were Gen. U.S. Grant, of Illinois, and Schuyler Colfax, of Indiana. On the Demoeratic side, Horatio Seymour, of New York’) and Francis P. Blair, of Missoari. By fraud and violence, threatsand intimidation, disfranchisement and a denial on the part of the Radieal Congress to allow the great States of Vir- ginia, Mississippi aud Texas to vote, be- cause they had not complied with the “‘Re- construction” exactions, the resalt of the election was the choice of Grant and Col- fax by the electoral College. They re- ceived 217 of the electoral votes, while Seymour and Blair, got but 77. Of the popular vote east, Grant and Colfax, re- ceived 2,985,031, and Seymour and Blair, received 2,648,830. Had the States named been allowed to vote, aud all the disfran- chised citizens in the other States not een eee under een en or ‘“‘disqualifications,” the popular major- ity would most probably Saceboun dgvlent the Radical ticket; aa it was, it was only 201. The Administration of Gen. Grant is of two recent date, and too obnusious generally, to require recounting bere. In fact, it would require a volame to portray properly the usurpations of power, and the many direct attacks on popular gov- ernment and individual liberty perpetra- ted under him. No words, however, can paint it any blacker than to say that his whole Administration was thoroughly on the line of Radical policy. And ashas well said by, Alex. Stephens, unless the poliey inaugurated aud enforced by him is arrested by the people at the ballot box, it will altimataly lead to the entire over- throw of the Federal system, and the snb- version of all the free iustitations, there- by attempted to be secured on the Amer- ican continent.

RAILROAD. REcRIVER ArporinteD.—Parties on the down train on the western road, yesterday, brought the information of the appointment of a receiver for the western division of the W.N.C.R. R., by the United States Court, now in Session at Statesville, on petition of the private stockholders. Mr. Best has gone to Raleigh to investigate. Since the above was put in type, we have been informed that it is not exactly correct. It was Judge Schenk who appointed the receiver and not by petition of the private stock holders.—Salisbury Democrat. This business seems smartly mixed. The Legislature pagsed an act repealing the law which established the Western Division and abolishing the incidental offices for. that Division, and requiring the officials to hand over books, papers, valuables and property of all kind to President Wilson of the West- ern N. C. Road. And the Supreme Court of the State has subsequently been called on to pass upon the validity of this Act and has fully sustained it; and yet in the faee of all this, Judge Schenck finds a way by which the General Assembly aud Supreme Court are set a defiance and appointsa Receiver for the Western Division, and selects for the place the very man whom the General As- sembly designed tu displace, the very man who has been often called on to resger an account of his stewartship, as he may no longer be stewart. These proceedings cer- tainly need explanation as to the grounds of Judge Schenk’s action. As touching the sale of the W. N. C. R. R. the Raleigh Observer of the 28th, says: “Whatever the difficulties, if any, have stood in the way of carrying into effect the recent act of the Legislature relative to the sale of the Western North Carolina Rail Road, have been removed and the centract has been signed, and that matter is now over. The road is now the property of Mr. Best and his associates, and the State gets her pay for the convicts employed.” —_——a-°-< > o THE COMING CAMPAIGN, 1 ble of digsimulation), he issupposed to have spoken more from conviction than any desire ‘ Weaomibond these hotes of warning to the best men of all-classes and parties thybughéat th¢tbon py. — Cir 0 ——a> +> aa Railroads are selling local excursion tickets to and from all stations at 3 cts. per mile.

Nis ee For the Watchman, Mr. Best and the Western North Carolina Railroad. To the Lditor of the Watchman: Atter cavetully reading the article cop- ied by you last week from the Charlotte Observer, over the signature of **A Mem- ber,” to whom, by-the-way, [now desire to return mmy acknowledgments for his partiality and good opinion —it has oceur- red to me that some persous may possibly misconstrue the meaning of that portion of the article which refers tomy interview with Mr. Best. In none of my conferences with him have I ever used any language which looked like dictation on my part. My relations with him have been too cor- dial for anything of that sort, even if I had been ever so much inclived to act ip lthat way. But lam not in the habit of bso acting towards any one, and Mr. Best, ‘ever since my first introduction tohim, has treated me with such unvarying courtesy that | have always had the most kindly feelings towords him. The interview labove referred to: Was occasioued by the {deep interest I took in the success of his hscheme to purchase the State’s interest in the Westeru N.C. Railroad Company. As soon as I reached ¢ aleigh, at the bogin- ning of the Extra Session of the Legisla- lture, feeling anxious and uneasy about frome things whieh had been omitted from | the draft of his printed vill, I called upon Mr. Best, and had a triendly conversation ;with him. As an earnest friend to his | proposed purchase, L urged him to allow jine to incorporate into his bill a clause “making the property of the new company }subject to taxation, explaining to him fully the reasons which prompted me to }do this. After listening to me patiently, jhe became convinced that the proposition Iwasa reasonable one, and he cheerfully aaa tomy request. I then endeav- { | | | ! ored to persuade him to agree that an- other section might be put into the bill, providing tor the payment of the £loat- ing Debt of the company. Mr. Best did not object to the payment of this debt, i but he did not think that he ought to pay lit. The question was one of difficulty, j and gave the friends of the bill no little trouble. Bat thanks to Mr. Best, that linatter was finally settled to the mutual i satisfaction of himself and the friends of ithe bill in which a clause was inserted | authorizing a sum not exceeding thirty | thousand dollars of the mortgage bonds (of the company belonging to the State to ‘be set apart for the payment of this debt, Mr. Best very liberally agreeing to pay the cash for these bonds. Mr. Editor, I believe the completion of the Western N. C. Railroad—to Duck- town aud Paint Ruck—is now fully assur- ed, and that a bright aud prosperous fu- ture is open to our Town and County, if our people will ovly bestir themselves, and do their part towards bringing about the expected increase of business and trade, population, wealth and enterprise. lhe present time J» certainly one of the tarn- Discussion opened by Rey. J. Rumple and | Opened by Elders | ing points in the history of the town of Salisbury, and of the county of Rowan. When the Western N. C. Rail ad shall be completed to Ducktown—say ‘about Jan. Ist, 1885—every seetion of the South - ern Paeifie Railroad. will have bees finish- ed to Saw and to San Francisco, California, and an immense quantity of the frieght and travel passing over that great Trans-Contivental Railway will be transported by Ducktown, Asheville aud Salisbury to the East. If our citizens will prepare aud put ourselves in readi- ness for the good things in store for us, we will at no distant day be astonished to see how rapidly we shall have grown in wealth, population and solid prosperi- ty. But we must not fold our bands and wait for Providence to bring us all these things. Providence helps those only who help themselves. The whole history of the Town of Salis- bury is strewed over with the wreck of unimproved and lost opportunities. Char- lotte and other towns are now reaping the frnits of our apathy, procrastination and lack of enterprise, liberality, foresight aud wisdom. One thing is now needed to baild up our town op the most solid foundation, and that is the speedy construction of a Railroad from Salisbury to Wadesboro. Chis will give us direct: communication with Wilmington and Charleston. Salis- bary will then be a great Railroad centre. Freights will be moderate. Every kind of business will revive and prosper. Eve- rything we purchase from abroad for or- Nament or use will be cheaper. Our far- mers will get better prices for their pro- duce. All our mechanics and workingmen will obtain profitable employ ment here at home. Factories will spring up. Rail- road workshops, aud foundries owned by private capitalists will be in full blast. Our lands will be improved in value and cultivation, The stream of trade and (trafic, which has fiowed by us for so long |a time to other more active and more en- terprising localities will begin to return jtous, and Salisbury will be what she once Was, although on a far grander scale —the Kmporium for trade and commerce of Western North Carolina. We will then find a ready market for our surplus lands at good prices, aud new life and capital Will infuse into our people inereased zeal and energy. Thave no doubt that the property of the county will be increased not Jess than one million of dollars as 8000 as We shall have direct Railway com- munication with Wadesboro, and in tive years more the increase would be not less than three millions of dollars. These fig- ures seem startling, but I believe them to j be true. All kinds of real estate in our town and county are vow very cheap. If our farms and town lots should double in value to-morrow, prices for that kind of property would not be high then eom- | pared with other favored places, or even with what our property should be intrin- sically worth, if there was only a genuine spirit of enterprise and progress at work wie ng us. IT have thrown out these ideas for what they are worth to set our people to think- ing. The new owners of the Western N. C. Railroad, I teel well assured, are anx- ious to help us forward ona new aud | splendid career of prosperity and devel- opipent; for iu helping us they will be helping themselves. [hope we may be jable to meet them half-way, and to do | | | jsomething ourselves to enable us to real- lize the bright anticipations of material lerowth and progress which- seems to be certainly in store for us, if we shall only iaprove the present opportunity. For years we have all been hoping and wish- ing for befter times, Uf the capitalists and business meu of Salisbury will at this Important juneture earnestly ‘pat their shoulders to the wheel” of enterprise and progress, T contidently believe that their efforts will be speedily crowned with sue- And if we really desire to have better times, and to see our town grow and flourish, ought we not to be willing to make some sacrifices to secure such blecsings ! JouN 5S. HENDERSON. — ——__--@- > —_ - —_— Capt, Wm. Cain, C. F. cess, To the Editor of the Charlotte Observer.

Cain was the professor of wathe- maties and civil and military engineer- ing at the Carolina Military Institute of this city. There he exhibited bis attain- ments in mathematics and engineering and showed his genius in instructing his classes in a calenlus of his own wherein he has simplitied that brauch of mathe- matics. In the meantime, while in the discharge of his duties at the C. M. I., he became a eontributor tothe leading scientific month - ly in this country, Van Yostrand’s Maga- zine, in which he has won a high reputa- tion, while furnishing able articles. and measuring swords with the best mathe- watical minds of the North. His articles torm a valued part of *‘Van Nostrand’s Scientific Series.” I kuow whereof I speak When J affirm that,in my judgmeat, Capt. Cain is not surpassed by any man of his age iu this couutry in mathematics and the application thereof to mechanics. At the head of a great work of railroad coustruction, Capt. Cain is in his ele- ment. Mr. Best deserves well of the community for not going out of North Carolina to find the man to conduct his road to a sound and safe conclusion. He will find Capt. Cain competent, faithful, zealous and incorruptible. do 15 dtc Charlotte, N.

This act also applies to the South Fork river from its mouth in Gaston county to its bifurcation in Catawba county, the Catawba river from the South Carolina liue to Old Fort, in McDowell county, and the Yadkin and Pee Dee rivers from the South Carolina line to Patterson in Caldwell county.

There are calumnies against which even innocence loses courage. Better be upright and want, than wick- ed and have superabandance. Industry need not wish, and he who lives upov hope will die fasting. He that can compose himself, is wiser than he that composes books. A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things, bat can- not receive great ones. We should give as we receive, cheerful- ly, quickly, aud withoat hesitation ; for there is no grace in a benefit that sticks fo the fingers. : To fill the sphere which Providence ap- points is true wisdum; to discharge trusts faithfully and live exalted ideas, that is the mission of good men.

At some places there are only taint traces of such a wave; at others’the debris is carried up and over obstructions two oy three feet high, These waves or currents flowed in the greatest volume up hill. There are places where the entire top soil is washed away by the currents. Fibrous roots and tufts of grass show their direction to have been up hill, and what is significant, from all points of the compass towards the top of the hill where the tornado was raging at the time and expending its force. No trace at any point canfbe found where they flow- ed down hill. Many level places are swept clean of soil. Leaves, grass, debris of wreck- ed buildings and fragments of planks car- ried along by the current and left in its track and arranged themselves longitudinal- ly to the current. The following interest. ing fact is vouched for by George Gilbert, of this place: He and his wife and four children were on a visit eight miles in the country, and the centre of the tornado pass- ed within five or six yards from where they were. A wave of water, apparently fifteen fect high, rolled in the rear of the point of contact of the cloud-spout with the earth. It rolled over them in a second and was icy cold, drenching them thoroughly.” or —__—__——_ THE NEW PREMIER. Mr. Gladstone Once More at the Head of the State and Party. Philadelphia Times. Mr. Gladstone, for the second time in his life, is at the head of the English government. His parliamentary career bas been long; even in England, where parliamentary careers are apt to be long. He was returned in the Tory interest for Newark away back in 1832, while the fight over the Reform Bill was at its height, and presently came to be regard- edas “a rising young man.” It was on this ground that Sir Robert Peel appoin- ted him junior Lord of the Treasury in 32, and advanced him to the Under See- retary of the Colonies a few months later. Then, Sir R. Peel’s brief administration ended, Mr. Gladstone—who was re-elect- ed—had an opportunity of showing that he was even stronger in the Opposition than he had been in the government. This characteristic has stood by him his long life. Ils is one of those aggressive Eatures that ia at its best when fighting against odds. Failing anything else to fight, he has frequently fought his own party, his earnestness asa reformer keep- ing him always ahead of the body of his The son of a “warm” mer- chant of Liverpool,a baronet, he was brought upto believe in Tory princi- ples; but this belief weakened as his mind matured. In 1851 he formerally at- tached himself to the Liberal party. Following this change of base—in July, 1852, when Lord Aberdeen formed his “eoalition” Cabinet—he was made Chan- ceHor of the Exchequer; a position that he also held for a short time in Lord Palmerston’s first Ministry and to which he was again appointed when Lord Palm- erston took office for the second time, in 1259. During this period he sat for the University of Oxford, being continuously returned thence from 1847 until 1865. hh the latter year he was defeated by his old constituency, but was returned for South Lancashire. Lord Palmerston died in October, 1865. Mr. Gladstone succeeded him as leader of the House of Commons. He was now approachiog what has hith- erto been regarded. asthe culmivating point of his career. In 1866 he brought ina reform bill. This bill was defeated and the government resigned, and so it fell. out that Lord Beaconsfield’s reform bill—against which Mr. Gladstone fought bitterly —was passed. But Mr. Gladstone's triumph was not lost ; it was only delay- ed. Inthe early part of the session of 1263 he brought in a series of resolutions having for their object the disestablish- ment. and disendewment of the Trish Church. Lord Beaconsfield’s ministry was out-voted in the Commons, but the Lords held their ground. Then came the appeal io the country. The general election of 1363 placed the Liberals in power, and Mr. Gladstone, the head of the party, was made Premier. Theseries of great reforins effected during that notable Par- liament are still fresh in the pablic mind —the disestablish ment of the Irish Church the abolition of purchase in the army, the passage of the Elementary Education, Judicature and Ballot acts, the negotia- tion of the Treaty of Washington and the, settlement of the Alabama Claims by ar- bitration were among the results of Mr. Gladstone’s administration. Iudeed, he pressed reform so fast that the nacign be- came alarmed. When he brought in his Irish University Education Lill a stand was made. The Catholic membors of the Liberal party voted with the opposition aud the goverument was defeated by a vote of 237 to M4.

The servant's right te be politely treated is just as absolute and indefeasible as that of the queen. She is a child of the Great King, and to her applics the royal lay, ac- cording to the Scripture, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” That law, which is the highest of all, surely includes polite- ness. If we are bound to love our neigh- bors as ourselves, we are bound to treat them courteously, at any ratc. That is one of the first and most rudimental of our du- ties to them. Your servant, dear madam, is your neighbor—the nearest of all your neighbors. She has a right then, under this royal law, which is itself the spirit of all Just laws, to be courteously treated by you. It is nv more condescension for you to use respect and gentleness in your intercourse with her than it is for her to sweep your floor or build your fires. You are entitled to no more credit for speaking kindly to her than you are for not stealing her pocket handkerchiefs. If you do not govern your-! self in all your conversation with the callers in your parlor, you are a very vulgar person. The maid in your kitchen is a woman; the guest in your parlor is nothing more. Will you give to silks and feathers and a purse what you deny to womanhovd ? That is the very essence of vulgarity. Do not say that the guest never tries your temper as the eek servant does, You know that many of those whom you greet with smiles tell lies about you when they are beyond your sight. The laws of good manners led you to treat their deceitfulness with forbearance. Should they not require equal forbearance toward the girl in your kitchen.—Hearth and Home. If the “Hearth and Home” is half right much the larger half of the world is wrong, and full of “very vulgar persons.” Why, there is as much difference between parlor and kitchen manners, practically, as there is between beauty and ugliness—day and night —saint and sinner, The Hearth and Lome is right in saying it ought not to be so. ———~>-—__— We notice that Senator Johnston, of Virginia, has requested the War Depart- ment to supply him with a list of the of- ficers and men who fought under Col.

For some weeks past the people of Scott county, Va., have been terribly excited over the miracles which are alleged to have been performed by Richard Hiller, of that county. His fame has extended all over that section of the State, and hundreds of the afflicted are daily visiting him. Hiller is a middle aged man, em- ployed as the keeper of McMullin’s mill, near Estillville. He is deeply religious, and claims to have had a dream a month ago in which the idea was impressed up- on him that, with God’s help, he could perform wonderful cures simply through | faith. He says that the next day after the dream, after fervent prayer, he healed a sick man by touching him~ The intel- ligence of such a miracle went all over the country, and the afflicted of all kinds eame to him and were healed, it is said, by the simple tonch of his hand. Yester- day, G. N. Wertz, a photographer at Ab- ingdon, visited Hiller in company with a paralytic uncle, the seat of paralysis being in the mouth, and the man thereby was deprived of both speech and hearing. Hil- ler louked at the afflicted man, and after & prayer, touched him and told him that before he reached home he would be well. Last night, as Mr. Wertz entered the dvuor of his house, it is said his hearing and speech came back to him, and to-day he Mr. Speaker, I rise toa question of ats ° PNewton, a beautiful youtig tady of Bristol, Tenn., helpless from rheumatisin, was brought to Hiller last week, and when an attempt was made to lift her from the ear- riage, she rose fro the sedan chair with- out assistance, it is said, and declared that she was entirely well. One of the most wonderful of the alleged miracles of Hiller was the cure of Mr, Peter White- sell, who has been for many years afflicted with caneer. The cancer was touched and in three days, according to reports, had disappeared. The miracle worker isan exceedingly modest man, and al- ways indignantly declines any compensa- tion for his services, alleging that he is but the hamble instrument of God. He takes no credit to himself, and the people in this section believe firmly in his mira- culous powers. The above is copied from the Newbern Nut Shell in which it appears without credit.

Thus it was through the grasping spirit , wants to break the solid Sogth it must be | and the unconstitutional demands of the North that what is known as the ‘Mis- souri Compromise” came into existence, | and cut in the soil of the Union a geo- graphical line between the North and the South. By this yielding on the part of the South—by“ thie giving up of her own! rights—the North gained territory for six new States, viz: Towa, Minnesota, Kan- sas, Nebraska, Oregon, aud Washington; While the South retained but two, viz: Missouri and Arkansas, with a chauee for athird in the Indian territory. It is the greatest misfortune that the South yielded the “Missouri Compromise” | to the unjust, aggressive, and unconstitu- tional demand of the North, for it was ' that which inspired northern fanaticism, | and northern lust of power, with the hope | resulted in the ruin of our country. Mr. Jefferson fully realized the fatal | cobpseqnuenes of South then made to preserve the Union.

Had the South al- ways kept what belonged to ber, and had she never yielded any portion of her rights to settle angry growls of disunion from the North, this country would never oecu- py the disgracetul atitude it now dees in the eyes of civilized mankind. It would have been infinitely better that New Eng- land should have Jett the Union, as she attempted todo in 1812, oras she threaten- ed to do ia 1R20, and on several other oc- Caslons 5 the rest of the would have reposed for ever in the arms these melancholy words for of peace and prosperity. The vast domain now covered by ten or twelve non-slaveholding States and terri- tories once belonged to the South, and she was able to keep it; it was through an unsuspecting generosity that she gave itup.

The committee on resolutions then reported as follows : ; Resolved, lat, That we, the Demo-{ cratic party of Pennsylvania in con- vention assembled, renew our vows and fidetity to the finddmental _prin- ciples proclaimed and’ practiced by the illustrons men who settled oar free institutions and founded the Dem- mt party, to protest and preserve 2nd, “That the “he bierees of the Federal Union, the fights of the States and liberties of the people are vital parts of one harmonions system, and to save each part in its whole ' constitutional vigor is to “save the life of the nation.” 3rd, That the Democratic party maintains, as it ever has maintained, that the mlitariy are and ought to be in all things subordinate to the civil au- thorities ; it denies, as it ever has de- nied, the right of the Federal admin- istration to keep in party at the gen- eral expense a standing army to in- vade the States for political purposes, without regard to constitutional re- strictions, to control the people at the polls; to protect and encourage fraud- ulent counts of votes, or to inaugurate candidates rejected by the majority. 4th, That the right to the free ballot is the right preservative of all rights ; is theonly means of peacefully redress- ing greivances and reforming abuses ; presence atthe polls of a regular military force and of a host of hire- ling officials, claiming power to ar- rest and imprison citizens without warrant or hearing, destroys all free- dom of elections and upturns the very foundation of self-goverament. We call upon good citizens toaid us in pre- serving our institutions from destruc- tion by these imperial methods of supervising the right of suffrage and coercing the popular will in keeping the way to the ballot box open and free, as it was to our fathers; in re- moving the army toa safe distance when the people assemble to express their sovereign pleasure at the polls, and in securing obedience to their will when legally expressed by their votes. 6th, That Rutherford B. Hayes, having been placed in power against the well-known and legally expressed will of the people, is the representa- tive of a conspiracy only, and his claim of the right to surround the ballot boxes with troops and deputy marshals to intimidate and obstruct electors, and his unprecented use of the veto to maintain this insult and menace to the country. 6th, The Democratic party as of old favors the constitutional currency of gold and silver, and of paper con- vertible into coin. 7th, Tbat we are opposed to the system of subsidies by the general government,and appropriations of pub- lic moneys or credit to any object but the public service. 8th, That the Democratic party re- news its expression of sympathy with labor and its promise of protection to its rights. 9th, That we look with alarm upon pretentions of the great transportation companies, and until they aceept the constitution of 1873 in good faith, they should remain objects of the ut- most vigilance and jealously by both the legislature and the people. The 10th relates to local affairs. 11th, That the great fraad of 1876- '77, by which, upon a fulse count of the electoral votes of three States, the candidate defeated at the polls was seated in the presidential chair, was the most deadly blow offered to our system of representative government, and the necessity of rebukiog that great wrong, impose @ more sacred duty upon the people, of the United States than ever addressed itself to the consciencies of a nation of free- men.

In the premier and John Bright it has the two greatest masters of oratory in both houses; in Lord Hartington, the Dake of Devonshire’s eldest son, it conveys that subtle aroma of strawberry leaves to which even the most radical constituencies in England are keenly sensitive. In Mr. Childers, Mr. Foster and Mr. Stanfield, it bas three statesmen who have already felt the softness of the cushious on the Treasury Bench. Lord Selborne has long been distin- gushed for his legal and hymnal qualities; Lord Northbrook was pop- ular even among the whimsical “Qui- hyes” of Indian hill stations, and the sturdy and masculine eloquence of the Duke of Argyll has won him fame on both sides of the Atlantic. With Sir Wm. Vernon-Harcourt re- tained as the stock humorist, the equipment of the cabinet may be con- sidered complete. Oo TomaToEs.—An agricultural ex- change says in regard to this very important vegetable: As soon as plants are three or four inches high, transplant and give them more room. You want strong, hardy, stocky plants. The land should be mellow and mod- erately rich. The best plan in setting out tomato plants is to make good sized holes with a spade, and then fill these holes with fine, warm surface soil, and put a tablespoonful of super- phosphate in each hole, working tit thoroughly into the soil with a hoe, Before removing the plants to set them out, give them a thorough wae tering. Set the plants deep, say, till the first leaves are on a level with the surface. Press the loose, mellow soil firmly around the ball of earth and roots. Keep the ground very loose and mellow on the surface. THE CONGRESSIONAL EXEECUTIVE CoMMITTEE.—The meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of the Conservative Democratic party of this (the seventh) congressional district, called to take place here last week, was not held, owing to the fact that only two of the members were present.

The Democrats are sick of the Republecan methods, and the Republicans dread the jdea of taking physic from the sayue spoon out of which they have been dosing the Democrats. For a Jong time both parties have been carefully eonsid- éiing some plin by which the dangers of the old twenty-second rule could be avoid- ed. Under that rule either House eould reject the vote of a State. Uuder the plan now proposed both Houses must concur. The Washington correspondent of the Rychmond Commonwealth says ; “But this does not reach the whole mat- ter. Mr. Vice-President Wheeler js an in- tense partisan, He is expected to play an important part in the Radical revola- tionary programme, He is to receive and open the votes and Jay them before the two Houses. Suppose he should ander- take to say that ‘such and such returns trom Louisiana or Mississippi are not votes. I will not receive nor open them.’ To meet this ease Mr. Herbert proposes 2 bill making it the duty of the Vice- President to lay all papers purporting to be electoral votes before the two Houses, so that the two Houses may then proceed to count them according to the Constitu- on. " “It is not certain that Mr. Hayes would sign such a bill as this.

Vance took the floor and made an interesting and argumentative speech in favor of un- seating Kellogg and seating Spofford, as proposed by the elections committee. He said that, as usual, the Republicans went over the fight not with stars and stripes, ora banner on which is inscribed the lily of France, the double eagle of Prus- sia, or the lion of Great Britain, but with a sanguinary shirton whichis writcen res adjudicata. They charge that the Dem- ocrats ale about to perpetrate a great crime because they want to purge the Senate of members who have been seated in violation of the constitution and the laws. He was reminded of a casein which a map who stole a horse became a_perse- euted saint, while the unfortuvate owner of the horse became the criminal. Gov. Vance reviewed the testimony with strik- ing effect, and his comments on witnesses who held several offices were characteris- tic and sometimes very amusing. A num- ber of inembers of the House from the South were on the floor of the Senate while he was speaking. Without concla- ding he gave way to a motion to adjourn at 3:20 o’clock, when the Senate adjourn- ed until Monday. ~=_- - Unequal Distribution. Washington Post. Kemble is in jail, but J.

M. 0 \ The Municipal Election On Monday was warmly contested from | sunrise to sunset. There were 467 votes | polled, a few more than the year before. Of| these J. J. Stewart received 213, and J. A. | Ramsay 244. A few voters crased the name | | of the candidate for Mayor and voted exclu- | ' sively for Commissioners. | Mr. Stewart and the ticket he represented | | Was nominated at a spirited public meeting Wm. | sure their defeat; and we present this view that every voter may see the importance of his whole duty, * But there was another cause that operated to the prejudice of the regularly nominated ticket of the Democratic party, and which more than anything else caused its defeat. We allude to the fact that the Republican | ticket comprised every member of the old board, which is personally a highly respect- able body, consisting of five decided demo- crats, and four republicans, three of them the most moderate in town. These last, taken in the order of their political virn- lence, so far as they have any, are J. A. Ramsay, Martin Richwine, S. H. Wiley and J. M. McCorkle, Esq. It would be impos- sible to make a more respectable mixed ticket in the community, and therefore con- nected with the fact that it was more than half democratic, may well account for the defeat of the regular nominees where so few | votes may change the result. | We see no reason why the same republi- can tactics, and the same democratic sup- port given to it, may not elect a radical Mayor year after year, indefinitely. It is true that the Mayor can carry out no public policy without the support of the Board. He is the servant of the Board, to execute its orders. But he is also clothed with the | powers of a Justice of the Peace and in this }ea pacity is more acceptable to the masses of the republican than any democrat could be. It needs only to be stated to show the polit- ical effect and advantage thus secured to the republican party, since its members make up about two-thirds of all the busi- ness of our lower Courts. The political tendency of this is to hold the republican party together and to concentrate them in elections, and this effect becomes more pos- itive just in proportion as the incumbent identifies himself with those whom he es- pecially represents. It is a question for each democrat to decide for himself, how much stock he should take in this sort of business. Whether he should give his name to be used, and cast his vote to sustain it. _ —— COUNTY COMMISSIONERS’ MERTING. The Commissioners of Rowan met on | Monday; present, D. A. Davis, chairman; IW.M.

Editor Watchman: It was in the early part of the balmy month of May, last year, that the hospit- able and God-fearing residents of El Do- rado township became acquainted with a strange individual of apparently unques- tionable respectability and gentlemanly address. His name was Alfred Wortman, and he was betwecn the agesof 40 and 45, full bearded, rather stout im; build, and hailed feom that most saered of eities— New York, Having been a miner ever since he was eighteen years of age, and j having travelled in almost all of the Western States and 'Ferritories he was, of course, brim full of exciting and interest- ing stories relative to the dusky red man, the reckless and daring desperado who capvies his life in his hand, and hair- breadth escapes on the wild frontier. It Was he who could so dexteriously narrate the eventful episodes in the life of that remable individual, Hankmunk ; it was he who could describe with cleverness the pexciling scenes which occurred in Boise | City, Idaho, during the great mining ex- citement years ago; it was he who could tell of the wicked and bloodeurdling deeds of some of the most daring villians that ever walked the Western prarie. He lo- cated in the eastern part of this township and at first commenced prospecting with a pan, afterward ona more extensive ba- isis. His dealings with the inhabitants were always characterised with fairness and a landable desire to do always what was right and just. This trait in the gen- tleman was a means of gaining for him the standing in the commuuity which he craved. When he had once established himself in the minds of the residents as an honest and upright personage his despic— Fable parposes were then very easily ac- complished, His eftortsin gold hunting were reward- ed with tolerable and he soon was offered opportunities for developing other properties of unquestionable rich- ness. He accepted them, and commenced operations with a goodly foree of men and pursued them with undaunted ener- SUCCESS, Fev and commendable pluck. The gentleman in question, a short i time since, after having exercised his in- | venious propensities in the way of con- i tracting debts at several stores, and scra- iping together all the gold and = cash he iconld lay his grasping paws on, whether Hhis own or belonging to other parties, was | discovered one fine morning to be non est, | having, We suppose, departed to parts un- fknown. The many persons who have ~been duped by this rascal, this true rep- iresentatives of the villian family, this de- bmon of the deepest, die we are not prepar- led to state; saftice if to say, however, that among them are hard working labor- ers, poor womer upon whom he sponged his board, &¢., and the owners of proper- ty upon which he worked.

Josheph E. Johnston's Report of the Battle—Hill’s Division. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston's official report of the battle of Seven Pines has been pub- lished, and for the first time, in the May uumber of the Southern His‘orical Society Papers. In it he does full justice to Gen. D. H. Hill's division, which was composed exclusively of North Carolinians. “The principal attack was made by Major-General Longstreet, with his own and Major-General D.H. Hill's division —the lutter mostly in advance. Hill’s brave troops, admirably commanded and gal- lantly led, forced their way through the abatis, which formed the enemy’s exter- nal defences, and stormed their entrench- ments by a determined and irresistible rush. * * The operation was repeated with the same gallantry and suecess as our troops pursued their victorious career through the enemy’s successive camps and entrenchments. At each new position they eucountered fresh troops belonging to it, and reinforcements brought on from the rear. Thus they had to repel repeat- ed efforts to retake the works which they had carried. But their advance was never successfully resisted.” We doubt if avy more splendid fight- ing wasdone during the war than by Hill’s North Carolina boys at Seven Pines. Their loss was fearful. The regiment. commanded by Major Bryan Grimes (af- terwards Major-General) lost terribly. We have forgotten the precise figures, but our recollection is that during the war no Confederate regiment lost so havily in one fight, with the exception, possibly, of the 26th (Vance’s old regiment, com- manded by Col. Harry Burgwyn, who was killed), at Gettysburg. We remem- ber that one company, commanded by Carolina in the last half of the nineteenth century): had every man in it: but one or two killed or wounded, and it was some eighty strong when it eutered the fight. Capt. Carter was desperately wounded. It is to be regretted that the reports are so written that you must know how troops were brigaded in order to under- stand what particular States were repre- sented in a given battle. Whiting’s and Pettigrew’s brigades did some good fight- ing at Seven Pines. OO Sunday afternoon S.C., and this city.

He degw a revolver and shot. the leader of the band, whe proved to be Henry L. Otte, one of Long's neighbors, Otte’s death infuriated the mob, who fired on Long, but he retreat- ed, bleeding, to the kitchen, where he hid until threats were made to burn the house. He then fled past the barn and was fired at by the mob. He has not since been seen, but a pool of blood has been found in the woods, and it is supposed that he was kill- ed and his boy secreted. His wife and a number of neighbors have been warned to leave the place, and a reign of terror exists in the neighborhood. eS ee No More Sea-Sickness.—A large com- pany assembled by invitation on the Havan- na steamer, City of Alexandria, at New York, Tucsday, to inspect the operation of the new self-levelling berths with which that vessel has been fitted; . These berths are of the ordinary size. They are attach- ed both above and below to universal joints and are weighted underneath by crescent- shaped cylinders of iron. This arrange- ment is designed to keep the berths perpet- ually level, no matter what angle the vessel herself may take, and, consequently, to do away with sea-sickness entirely. To furth- er maintain the berths in their orbit, and prevent sudden changes of position, they are provided with spiral springs. They ap- peared to work well Tuesday, and the visi- tors expressed their satisfaction without stint. They are to be introduced in all the vessels of the line, and other lines have the matter under consideration, ee THE GaLLows.—New York, May 1.—A special from Gainesville, Texas, gives the particulars of the execution of L. M. Noft- singer, convicted of the wilful murder of Willis Cline, in Cook county, in 1878. Noft- singer and his victim were rival suitors for the hand of the same young woman, and the success of the latter in bearing off the prize so enraged Noftsinger that he murder- ed him in his bed. About 10,000 people witnessed the execution. When Noftsinger had mounted the scaffold and the knot was about to be adjusted, he said: “Fellow-citizens: If you think I ought to die, Iam willing. I do not thank Gov. Roberts in my case, though he was honest in his convictions. Judge Carroll promised to recommend my commutation. You all know how he used me. If Gov. Roberts wants me to diel am ready. Friends and all, good-bye I hope to meet you in a bet- ter world.” The “Rock of Ages” was then sung, af- ter which prayer was offered. At 1.30 Noftsinger bade the sheriff good-bye and stepped on the drop, which carried him six feet. In half an hour the body was taken down and given to his father to be sent home to Virginia. ~_- It is now probable that Congress will adjourn about the Ist of June, Demo- crats and Republicans appearing to be pretty well agreed upon this time.

We hear that considerable damage was done by the late frosts to early wheat in some portions of our Township, though we have noticed nothing of the sort in our neighborhood.

We have many trees, especial- ly peaches, so full that they must break down, unless some are shed, or the trees supported someway. Apples and other fruits still plentiful.

The romance of a wrecked life has been brought to light throagh the diary found upon the person of an anknown man whose body was discovered float- ing in the East River. On Monday last, alittle befure daylight, the body was found at the foot of Wail street. It had been in the water for many days and ideutification was impossible. In weve of the pockets of the coat were two smal) books, one filled with writ- ing much defaced by the action of the water, and the other a printed vol- ume. These throw light upon the mystery of the case, and expose the inner side of a life varied and tem- tost—a life finally wrecked, but which obtained much of the light and shade of joy and adversity. Part of the book is used as a diary, and shows a record of ten years. The story it tells is that the writer some years ago, owing to the death of his betrothed bride, left his native city in Denmark and became a wan- derer. The exile’s life appears to have been aimless. On many pages beneath short stanzas of poetry, are affixed the writer’s name, the date and the place in which the verses are inscribed. At least twenty Danish towns are noted in this way. He did not seem to caretoearn more than sufficient to barely sustain life. He would settle at the town, and having accumulated sufficient pittance to car- ry him to another, he would journey onward. At times he appears to have become a prey to melancholy, and writes as follows : “There is not one friend left to me iv this desert of a world; neither sis- ter nor brother, and she whom I lov- ed is gone to rest. She looks down | upon me from among the stars and beckons me to her. I come, I come! I saw her in a dream last night. I know I shall soon meet her again.” Again he puts his feelings into poetry : My staff with heavy heart I took, A wanderer on the earth ; Ye withering leaves from Nature’ book, Blown merryly over ber lonely grave, Soon dance ye over mine, Next follows quite a long poem, which describes the death of his love and expresses a wisli soon to join her in another world. His only regret at leaving this life secms to be the thought of the fate of the mementoes left him by his dear one which he de- scribes as a faded wreath, a lock of hair and a crushed violet. the following couplet : It ends with Bat place them with me when I die, And I will rest content. But two names beside his own ap- pear in the little volume. One of these is the dedication of one of his out- bursts of melancholy to “Miss Chris- tup,” and an other to “Tine,” which is an abbreviation for Vincentine. On the last pages of the diary, written in ink that appears much fresher than any that precedes it, are four lines of ryhme, rudely constructed. They con- vey the writer’s intention of ending his life. They are signed “H. Dy- rendabl, iv haste.” The stanza reads as follows: Over the grave so lone Spray from the Sea 1s thrown: Soon, too, over me Will the waves dance merrily. Following are these words, which appear to be the last ever written by the exile: “Hopeless misery of the parting, When the morning’s sun rises from the waves mine shall have set forever. My day to-night shall turn. Brief was my joy and weighty was my sorrow. Shali I never see her whom I love again? O my love, farewell.” This ends the record of a checker- ed life—New York Star. ee Music in Stones. It was 20o’clock when our party reached “Ringing Rocks.” The air of the afternoon was sharp and crisp, the grouad well frozen, and most of the snow of winter had disappeared, We had come to ring a chime on the strange and wonderful metallic rocks that natyre has so mysteriously placed here iu a group. Theve rocks are on the farm of Abraham Mensch of Pottsgrove township, Montgomery county. ‘They covera space of about three-quarters ofan acre, Qur party consisted of ladies and gentlemen versed in music. Each selected a rock suitable to form ascale of eight notes. The leading gentleman took the rock known as the “State House bell.” He struck it with a hammer, and it Fang out very much like the old In- dependence bell in Philadelphia Le- fore it was cracked. The tones of a number of stuues were tested before each member of the party had select- Se ee ‘his uote of the scale. Finally@tght! doors. ~Phe-victoriousantmabthirst- etn ato rocks were chosen, aud a few tunes, such as “Old Hundred,” “Sweet By‘ and By,” and “Home, Sweet Home,” were given with considerable clearness. Some of these rocks give forth a rich full tone, which would vie with the best metal. The “State House rock” at one time was one of the largest. It has been broken off several times, but it still preserves its strong, full tone. The sound produced by striking the simaller rocks resembles that made when a blacksmith’s anvil is struck, some being clearer than others but no two are alike. Many sound as though car wheels were being tested by the hammer strokes of the station men. The “ringing rocks,” have been visi- ted by thousands. On the surfaces of many of them are marks resemb- ling footprints of horses and other animals, Fac similes of human foot- prints are also to be seen.—Phila- delphia Press. The of course the iron trade is not without alesson. The price was abnor- mally low in the beginning of 1879, and the imports of pig iron were re- latively small, They run along be- Itween 15,000,000 and 20,000,000 Ibs. per mouth, the price being about $17 per ton. ‘The price beginning to rise, the imports began likewise to increase. In the New York Times we find a table which shows the matter at a glance. For the first six months of 1879, the imports amounted only to 106,000,000 pounds, while in the last six months of that year they ran up to 575,000,000. In August the price was $21, in October $31, in Decem- ber $35. We see, therefore, that the English workmen have profited very largely from our boom in iron. Two months ago the price was up to $40, but now it is dropping, the great ad- vance checking consumption. The reduction is already 25 per cent., and the outlook is said to be very gloomy forthe owners of the American fur- naces. This state of things has been caused by pushing up the price so rapidly as to induce the great influx of foreign pig iron, which overstocked the market, and has occasioned the It is that blows nobody any crash. anill wind, however, good, and what gives the iron men trouble makes the consumers of nails and iron man- ufactures fecl more comfortable.— Raleigh Observer. A Terrific Bear Fight. How the Polar Bear Killed the Brown at the Cincinati Zoo. Cincinatt! Commerctal. It was found necessary yesterday to repair the polar bear water tank at the Zoo, and for the purpose the brown bears were driven into the right compartments so that their pit could be occupied by the white speci- mens of the Genus Ursus temporari- ly. One of the iron doors of the com- partment not being fully closed re- sulted in one of the small brown bears discovering what he considered intru- dersin hisfamily’sdomain. Everytime one of the visitors passed this opening he rammed one paw through and tried to give him aswipe. Finnally the male polar, after making several yo-as-you-please laps around the pit, seemed to have definitely settled upon a plan of action. When making the next circuit the warlike paw was stuck out as before, Ina second he grasped it and dragged its owner into the pit. Those who saw the fight say that it was terrific while it lasted. The contestant were uneyenly matched, but neverthelessthe little brown bear stood up to the work with admirable pluck. Up and down the pit they went in the deadly struggle, the little fel- low scoring the first point by bring- blood from the polar’s head, for which he received a rap that made his teeth rattle and knocked him about ten feet. They came together again like a flash and quicker than thought the polar rose on its hind legs with his enemy in his embrace. As the pressure was applied, the bones could be heard to crack. Presently the hug relaxed and a dying bear dropped to the pave- ment. The polar now for the first time seemed to be fully enraged, and with great leaps jumped up and dowa ou the prostrate foe, uttering deep, hoarse growls that called furth an an- swering chorus from all the animals surrounding. Heat last held the car- cass donw with ane paw and .com- menced reading the bear with his teeth. The keeper, who had opened | the doors, making a passage way through to the polar’s qnarters, now went to work with a long, pointed iron rod, and succeeded in driving the polars back to their quarters, ed fur more gore, and qu his efforts: td. gritify the desire exhibited almost human inteHigefiee.. Placing 6ne paw bt et hes hee Cs TT) Gash ti iu against the iron Jon, he would push on it as if raising a window, Twice it yielded partly, aud holding it in position, he would lower his. head sideways and look through the open- ing, but when he attempted to get un- der, a relaxed hold would return the door to ite place... On-the last trial he raised it, and. with the assistance of the othér paw gave it another lift, and was half way through the adjoining pit before the keeper could drive him back.,.The door was then securely fastened to prevent a repetition of the proceeding. For the next half hour the polar continued trying to get bad job. ee Honesty Before Etiquette. There are those that nurse their tastes up to so fine point that moral worth may be at any time eclipsed by 2 badly-fiting garment or shoe, or a violation of grammar, spelling or etiquette, This is sheer folly, as one must needs take leave of the world if he wouldavoid these little unpleasant- nesses. If the perpetrator have but an upright soul and an honest heart, we would rather take him or her by the hand, than thousands whose dress, conversation, and manners sre oracu- larly styled faultless. Of coure, one prefers greatheartedness and refine- ment combined; butif to gain the latter the former must be dispensed with, it is in our opinion, too great a sacrifice. We have seen people whose tecth were quite set on edge by the chance mispronunciation of a word, to whom an act of downright immor- rality would be far less distasteful. It is unnecessary to pronounce a verdict on such surface-people. Let them keep skimming life till it be thinned to their taste.

The little boy complained of insults or wrongs received from another lit- tle boy. His face was flushed with anger. The sister listened awhile an| then, turning away, she answerrd, ‘TI | do not want to hear another word, Willie has no mother.” The brother’s lips were silent, the rebuke came home to him, and stealing away he muttered, “I never thought of that.” He thought of his own mother, and the loneliness of Willie compared with his own happy lot. Do wethink of it when waut comes to the orphan and rude words assail him? Has the little wanderer no mother to listen to sorrows? Speak gently to him, then. —Christian at Work.

A majority of the Democrats of the county, seem to favor the nomination of Jarvis for Governor. It would be remark able, if the sentiment of the people, in this county at least, were otherwise, con- sidering the action of the Governor, in conyening the Legislature in extra ses- sion, for the purpose of effecting the sale of the Western N.C. Rail Road. By the sale of the road, its completion to Paint Rack and Ducktown is secured ; and what town and county along the whole line of Railroad, will) derive greater bevefit from the conpletion than Salisbury and Rowan. The Road once finished to Paint Rock, its extention from Salisbury to Wadesboro becomes a necessity, and in a few years must bean accomplished fact. Governor Jarvis deserves credit for his wise and patiotic course, in convening the Legislature in extra session; and, Wlile securing the completion of the W. N.C. Railroad at an early day, at the same time relcaves the people of ouerous taxation. His action in this matter, in opposition to the advice of a majority of the Board of Directors of the Road, showed him to be possessed of firmness, sound judgment and decision of character, which are nec- essary elements in the constitution of ev- ery man called upon to fill: high and re- sponsible public positions. He has nade an excellent Governor, has proven a faith- ful public servant. and the Democratic party would be guilty of ingratitude if they failed to endorse his administration. — Examiner. seemed to give her the strength the des- perate occasion required, and after row- ing for a mile against wind and tide she reached the disaster, took her lover on board, whom she found perched upon the up-turned boat, and rowed back to the shore. Mr. Wm. J. Best In New Yorx.—The New York Herald gives an account of an unusual scene in the streets of that city. A gentleman, attended by a Secretary bearing bags of coir, and laboring under the hallu- cination that he was bestowing charity, has been strewing the streets with nickel and silver pieces to the manifest advantage of the small boys and the strikingly apparent delight of himself. The Herald gives the name of this eecen- tric individual as Dexter, but, from having recently witnessed a similar scene enacted in the streets of Newbern, we presume it was Mr. Wm. J. (Railroad) Best. While Mr. Best was on the train passing through Hancock street, in this city, his Secretary,’ who was provided witha bag of coin, strew- ed nickles and pennies from South Front street to the depot.

I don’t belicve that peo- ple, when they buy a book for fifty cents, have any idea of the capital invested to bring it down to that price. For example, it cost us $233,000 to Publish ‘Picturesque America,’ and that without adding the cost of printing. To be sure we made a great profit on it. Forty thousasid copics wert sold and $2,400,000 turned in by our agents. An even more profitable venture was the ‘American Cyclopedio,’ for which the pub- lic has paid $5,760,000.

It is something, if you be so prosaic as to enter old Rome by @ railway, to find that the depot is put down on the map as a part of the old baths of Diocletian; and house- hunting, with hurried glimpses as one goes trom street to street, of Trajan’s forum, and the fountain of Trevi, and the Tiber, is cal- culated to stir strangely one's fancy. And the picturesqueness of the streets strike one at once. What with priests and soldiers, and the passion of the women for brightness, they are all lifeand, color. Priests in brown, priests in white, priests in scarlet ; soldiers with an opulent variety of uniform, and plumes and tassels and silverbraid enough to ruin a modest government. Is it because war in itself is so little alluring that soldiers are always so gay? Or is it the last remnant of the time when men rivalled women in the splendor of their dress? We are getting, of late years, to a mono- nous uniform of dark colors. We shrink even froma too gay flower or ribbon to brighten our sombre robes. But Roman women have no such scruples, and the rain- bow scarfs, the bright plumes and ornaments they wear, are pretty to see, and seem suited to this sunny air. And the life and variety of the streets is their charm to a Northern mind. Even while I write, a band sounds in the distance, and I see down the long street a troop of gay soldiers. A half hour ago, &@ vague sonorous chanting rose to our windows, and below was the long line of priests bearing the dead to his home. All in brown robes, barefoot, and bearing long wax tapers, their chant, their dark proces- sion, had in it something weird and impres- sive. But the charm of the dead city one feels most, perhaps, from the public plea- sure-grounds on the Pincian Hill. The vis- ion of all these domes and spires rising at one’s feet, the picturesque confusion of ma- jestic ruin and modern shabbiness, and be- yond all, back even of the great dome of St. Peter's which crowns the distance, the Alban hills standing up against the blue— all this is calculated to touch the most pro- saic; and the proper historic emotions for which so often one pines in vain come of themselves. ~<a It is proved, where fish are preserved in many of our bays open to the sea, and even in some few lakes and streams, and not allowed to be caught except at proper seasons, that acre for acre, the water fur- nhishes a more valuble product than the richest and most highly cultivated land. We are glad to notice that more and more attention is given to this matter annually by the United States and single State governments, also by private individuals. Fish add a great variety to our food and are alike healthful and palatable, perhaps more so than most kinds of meats. By exchanges with foreigu uations, many new kinds have been added to our waters, and we are promised more. In consequence of this our products are continually in- creasing, and some waters, in which, here- tofore, little of consequence found life, are now producing largely, as in the Europe- au carp which subsiste solely on vegeta- ble matter growing in the water. ei AN Ear.y BETROTHAL.—An early be- trothal is chronicled in the Elmira (N.

In New York city there lives a red-faced little milkman named Joseph Quigg. Mr. Quigg is in the employ of a milk company and goes over a certain route every morn- ing, serving milk to Many customers on Charlton, Macdougal and other streets. His horse, “Billy,” has been on the route for three years, and not only knows every cus- somer, but the days upon which to stop, for some of the costomers do not buy milk every day. One Tuesday not long ago Mr. Quigg, who was several yards behind, saw that Billy did not intend to stop at a cer- tain house on Macdougal street and running up, scolded Billy quite hard. But Mr. Quigg found that Billy was right, for the man of the house reminded Mr. Quigg that Wed- nesday and not Tuesday, was his “milk day.” The man took the milk, however, and said that Mr. Quigg need not stop on Wednes- day. When Wednesday morning came Billy stopped, sure enough, and this so angered Quigg that he beat poor Billy cruelly. Some of the residents of Macdougal street had learned to love the intelligent horse, and when they saw the cruel treatment they complained to the company. This com- plaint led to Quigg’s discharge. Billy real- ly loved his driver, however, and gave such signs of displeasure at his loss that Quigg was restored to his place, promising never to beat Billy again. ——$_ ~~ Let Girls Learn To be pure in mind and heart.

Finding of a Meteorite in a North Caro- lina Gravel Pit. Prof. Wm. E. Hidden in Morganton Blade. On the 19th of last July, while Mr. Gray W. Harris was prospecting for gold on his plantation near Lick creek, Davidson county, he found in a ditch a nugget of what appeared to him to be silver. It was covered with a thick scaly crust of iron oxide; weighed two and three-fourth pounds ; was shaped, measured 4} by 2} inches over its broadest surface and about 1 inch in thickness. Whenever cut or hamniered it showed a white metallic mass uuderlaying the red crust, and we cannot blame Mr. Harris for con- metal and no other metals but silver, in such large masses.

OTHER METEORITES, North Carolina has been very pro- lific in meteorites. No Jess than fif- teen different “falls” are recorded and credited to this State. Buncombe, Haywood, Randolph, Rochingham, Nash, Madison and Davidson coun- ties have furnished meteorites. The Nash county fall (1874) was of stone, not of iron, In the last month I have heard of two new ones in this State and have hopes of soon bringing them to light. The Charlotte Observer chronicled the falling of a meteor in Rowan county, in February last about which we have as yet heard nothing further, I ask, did it actually fall as recor- ded ? Meteoric iron in masses of extra- ordinary size have been discovered in in Brazil. The largest weighs over sixteen tons. A yet larger mass now exists ia the Cascade Mountains in Oregon, U.S., which, when first discovered, was thought to bea ledge of native iron. I regret to write, its exact loca- tion is now lost.

Mr. Blaine was in consultation with sev- eral West Virginia’ Republicans to-day, and they assured him he will get the del- egatior from that State. As the State conventions are meeting in rapid sucecs- sion the greatest interest is exhibited here in the results, and the partisans of the different candidates grow most-lively and excited in their comments and calcula- tions, The Grant people have been dis- appointed in not showing up stronger in the Southern delegations, but they pro- fess entire confidence in their ability to capture all the colored delegates when they get to Chicago, no matter who they may be claimed for in advance. Gen. Grant’s friends were never eo hopeful as they are to-day. Senator Cain- erou remarked this afternoon: “You may Iinois gives Grant her forty-two votes his nomination is assured.” That is the feelipg among all the Grant men.

It was expected by nearly everybody here that the Mississppi dele- gation would be instructed for Sherman. Senator Bruce, a warm Grant advocate, | heads the delegation, and has a great deal of intluence with it. The entire delega- tion will probably vote for Grant on the first ballot. Proctor Knott, who is considered quite sagacious in political matters, says that Gen. Grant will poll more votes than any Republican who can be nominated, and ocrats, he will have a walkover.

OVERMAN, Esq. MAJOR JAMES SMITH. Of the many and brave men associated with our Amcrican Revolution, very few fiz jured nore proatinently, or did more for the jcause of liberty in this section of our State than the subject of this sketch The son of James Smith, who emigrated from Holland in New Jersey, he with a col- ony of young married men came to North Carolina sometime before the Revolution and settled on the left bank of the Yadkin River and made what is known as the Jer- sey Settlement in Davidson county, then Rowan. In statue he was over six fect tall, straight asan arrow and of rather a commanding appearance. He was by occupation a farm- er and was possessed of some means in ad- dition to the land he owned, which he ob- tained by grant from McCullough. He had slayes, by whom he was much loved, for, thoagh they were carried off South by the Tories, they in time made their escape and returned to their old home. His first appearance in public affairs of which we have any knowledge was in 1775, during which year he took a prominent and active part in every movement tending to throw off the yoke of tyranny and looking to the declaration of Independence by the country at large. He wes a member of the Committee of Safety for Rowan county, an} so far as we are able to find out, was present at every meeting thereof. During this same year he was appointed to address the citi- | dis abled, madmed, crippled, bedridden, deaf, ' }dumb, blind, insane or idiatie, and if un- paou croumeraced, whether active or pemploycd, daring what portion of the vear. \° | inquiries respecting the kidd and amount of power employed in the establishment of productive industry, and the kind and anmber of machines in use, together with “Schedule number three shall contain jthe maximam capacity of such establish- | the superintendent of the iment, where | : . j census shall deem such inquiry appro- | priate, and the said superintendent may, | when he shall regard it expedient, pre- | | pare special blauk forms for separate in- | dustrica. | Schedule number four shall contain in- ences relating to the public indebted- Phess of cities, conntics, incorporated vil- ilages, and | towns, and school districts, | the Unite } | tipnal inguires respecting the same as j well as respecting the paupers and crim- inals as the superintendent of census shall deem necessary to secure full in- d States, by whom owned and the respective amounts and such addi- formation respecting the numbers and condition of these classes.” Section 14 says: That each and every | pérsou more than 20 years of age belong- ing to any family residing ia any ennme- ration distriet, and in case of the absence of the heads and other menibers of any stich family, then any agent of such fami- ly, shall be, and each of then hereby is by the superintendent, supervisor or enumera- required if thereto requested tor, to render a trae account to. the best pd of ownership of the public debt of | | | { | | | | | | German Was very rare, possibly a ‘aniqne” aud wanted to add it to hisangseum.

The rarest gems often lie hidden in kennels of impurity. Words are the daughters of the mind, but actions are the sons of the soul, Wit looses its respect with the good when seen in company with malice. He only is independent who can maintain himself by his own exer- tions. As a bird wandereth from her nest. so isa man that wandereth from his place. Return equity and justice for evil done to you, and pay goodness by goodness. Find earth where grows no weed, and you may find a heart wherein no errog grows.

A colored woman died at an asylum for the aged, in Washington, Thurs day, who is said to have been 117 years old. She was the widow of a sailor who was killed in the war of 1812, and has been drawing a pension for over 60 years, being the cldest pensioner on the widows’ roll. It is said that there are in the small town of Wirt, Alleghany coun- ty, Pa., nine couples who have liyed each together 52 years. The husbands with one exception, are farmers. An armless Mexican woman plays the piano beautifully with her feet. Some amateurs might attempt this. They will never be able to play well with their hands, and they might as well try the new method. ~-—_—_- -e@po. Fort Jonnson.—Judge Cantwell delivered a lecture in Wilmington, Tuesday night.

Tryon in person that Pennigton, who had been appointed stampmaster in the place of James Houston, should be delivered up. This account, taken from Gov. Tryon’s letter-book in the executive office, at Raleigh, clearly shows that Harnett was the master spirit in the movement. HowaaTe anp THE Nortu Pore. —Capt. Howgate, who feels so cer- tain that the North pole can be reach- ed by slow stages in successive sea- sons, has another expedition, which will be ready to start by the middle of May. The Gulnare, a steamer of about 200 tons, is being fitted up for the vovage at Alexandria, under Capt. Chester’s direction and will take out a patty of twenty-five, returning in the fall, after landing the men, a port- able house and supplies on the West coast of Smith’s Sound. The Cap- tain is said to have funds enough to back him, but wants Congress to en- dorse the seheme, and has already got the House to pass a bill authorizing the President to establish a temporary station north of 81 deg., north lati- tude, on or near the shore of Lady Franklin bay, for the purpose of sci- entific observation and exploration, and to detail such officers as may be necessary.

There may be evils in the convention | system, but tell us of one that is net more | or less defective. The primary election system has been suggested. Well this, has been tried in several cities and some | States; but ithas fallen into disrepute. Besides, it is expensiveand liable to even greater abuses than the convention system They have given ita thorough trial in by the Baltimore Gazette, one of the old- est and ablest papers in: that State.— The Gazette says: ‘There is not an intelligent Democrat or Republican iu this city who does pod Know that the primary elections of both parties are vo longer the voice of the mas- ses of the people int regard to the selee- In fact they have be- come so hopelessly corrupt and so shanie- fully defiant of popular will thata large majority of the decent men of all parties have long since ceased to attend them.” Now, as the Gazette well-says, there must be political parties under our sys- temof representative government, and par- ties must have leaders. There will alse be party tickets nominated as long as we have popular elections, and party ma- chinery of some sort, least objectionable, must be adopted to select leaders. As yet we have nove better than the conyen- tion system. But some say are packed. This is impossible if the peo- ple who are interested will turn ont and vote their wishes. If they will not do so, then they should not complain, but cheer- fully acquiesce in whatever the majority tion of candidates. the conventions at the convention does. = —---—_——_ DESPOTISM VS. DEMOCRACY. Democratic government, or a Democ- racy, isa government by the people. The word Democracy comes from two Greek terms: demos, people, and kratein, to gov- ern, and taken together, demohkratia,. lit- erally means a government by the people; a form of government in which the su- preme power is lodged in the hands of the There is no better man. It is free, people collectively. system ever devised by mutual, and retroactive. It is strong, and and equitable, just | in proportion as_ the people are en- Hightened and virtuens, educated and pare. Under it every voter is presumed to be capable of exercising the right of franchise without prejudice and without dictation. He is expected to bury his in- dividuality, and animosities, ignore the behests of mere cliques and factions, and vote for the promotion of measures calen- lated to advance the interests of the com- mon good. With white men this idea is generally adopted and constitutes the in- centive to their action. With the colored people, ag they are. now manipalated bya few disreputable leaders, it is entirely the reverse. In no instance have they ever voted in any considerable numbers for measures promotive of the common weal. On the other hand, they geverally go to the polls, at the dictation of self- appointed leaders and cast their ballots for men most odious in the community, and for measures and principles ip direct antagonism to the well Known interests of alarge majority of the people among whom they live. Fifteen years of ftee- powerful, not iihpreved them. They still stick to their initiative experience the counsels avd leadershi; of the most selfish, worthless and abs oned set of pulitical hucksters that ey@gavalk- ed the plank or disgraced the pillory.

The Eureka (Nevada) Leader of April 17, relates another aud similar experience. A miner at work in a mine on Prospect Mountain during the last shake at Secret: Canon says that while the tremor was plainly felt by his partvers on the surface, he, at a depth of eighty feet, noticed noth- ing unusual. The same miner says that through an experience of fifteen years underground he has observed one peculiar phenomnon, namely, that loose stones and bits of earth in mines are sure to fall between twelve and two o'clock at night. About this time it seems that everything begins to stir, and immediately after twelve, although the mine has been as still as the tomb be- fore, the fall of little particles of rock and earth will be heard, and if there is a cav- ing piece of ground in the mine it is sure to give Way. It woald be interesting to know if other miners have ever observed this phenom- — enon. a Usz or tue Potato.—In France farina is largely used for culinary purposes. The - famed gravies, sauces, and soups of Franee are largely indebted for their excellexce to that source, and its bread and pastry equal- ly so, while a great deal of the so-called cognac, imported into England and France, is the product of the potato. Throughout Germany the same uses are common. In Poland the manufacture of spirits from the potato is a most extensive trade. “Stettin brandy,” well known in commerce, is large- ly imported into England, and is sent from thence to many of her foreign possessions as the produce of the grape, and is placed on many a table of England as the same, while the fair ladies of our country perfume themselves with the spirit of potato, under the designation eau de Cologne. But there are other uses which this esculent is turned t» abroad. Afterextracting the farima the pulp is manufactured into ornamental arti- cles, such as picture frames, snuff boxes, and several descriptions of toys, and the water that runs from it in the process of manufse- ture is a most valuable scourcr. For per- fectly cleansing woolens and such articles, it is the housewife's panacea, and if the washerwotnan happens to have chilblains she becomes cured by the operation, a ARTIFICIAL ResPrraTion.—The Medical Press and Circular, 1880, infornts us that in a recent communication to the French Academy, Professor Fort raises again the question of premature interments, One fact he mentions is that be was enabled to restore to life a child three years old, by praeticing artificial respiration on it four hours, commencing three Lours and a half after apparent death. Another case was cowmunicated to him bs Dr. Fournol, of Billancourt, who, in July, 1878, reanima- ted-a pearly drowned person after four hours of artificial respiration. This per- son had been in the water ten minutes, and the doctor arrived one hour after asphyxia. Professor Fort insists also on the utility of artificial respiration in cases of poisoning, in order to elimivate the poisons. from the lungs and glands. The length of time it is desirable to practice artificial respiration in any case of appar- ebtideath from asphyxia, Professor Fort has aot yet determived, but his general | conclusion is that it should be maintained perseveringly for several hours. —_— The modest man, who is not a cow- jard, and who has conscience end con- victions to inspire: ‘his - the man most to be for effective confict.

Our readers perhaps remember the Cox-Alston murder. Alston, who was a very amiable but high spirited man, was the agent of Gen. Gordon, with whom Cox had a juiut coutract with the State of Georgia for some of her convicts. Alston had closed out Gordon's interest to some third party, when Cox insisted that he shoald be alluwed to bay, and because his offer was declined, he pur- sued Alston into the Goveruor’s office and shot him to death. Now Mr. Cox is sery- ing out the term of his vatural life at hard labor in the coal mines. The At- lauta Constitution says : Mr. Cox’s family took leave of him at the jail the evening previous, consequeut- ly were not on hand to witness the de- parture of the head of the family for the ade county, where he was to commence the term of hia servitude.

If he is rejected becunse he is a uegro, the responsibility will rest, not with us, but with the Republican party. “And now that you are nota delegate to Chicago, will bis name be presen- ted? “I have no donbe it it will be. Rew. H. M. Turner, of Philadelphia, ove of the most eminent and scholarly negroes in the world, the manayiug editor of the Christian Kecorder, the organ of the Afri- cay Methodist Church, a Blaine man, an anti-third term man, and, if lam not mistaken, a delegate from Georgia ; Isanc Ware, of Philadelphia, another very iu- fluential negro, anda uumber of other prominent wembers of my race. while they differ as to the head of the ticket, are a unit for Mr. Bruce, or some other distinguished Republican like him, for the seeond place. These geitlemen will be at Chicago and in the Convention aud I have no doubt, therefore, that Mr. Bruce’s name wil! be proposed.” The eolored men of North Carolina are interested, if they did but know it, in this movement. It would be a feather in their caps to bave one of their race a candidate fur Vice-President.—Wil. Star. ee We frequently hear “machine politics” mentioned. As we learn the machine Op- erates in two ways—one is for the ma- chine men to make combivations, aud by a united effort, crush out all opposition, Just as legislators “log roll” aud pass an ownibus bill, which contains provisions in themselves objectionable to many who support it as au entirety. Another Way in which the machine meu work is to take snap judgment on the people and coutrol conventions because the people leave the management of their affairs to the leaders. The cure for this latter evil rests with the peuple themselves. In North Carolina, fortunately, we do vot have much machine polities, but it is well enough to take time by the forelock and guard agaiust the in- troduction of such methods. The peopie should attend to their own busivess. They should see that the primaries are called, aud they should never fail to attend to their township meetings to select proper delegates to their conventions. If they fuil to perform this duty they have nobody to blame buat themselves in case any ad- Vantage is taken of them, and caudidates are numinated not iv accord with the pre- Vailing sentiment in the county. Every Democrat ought to make it a point to at- tend his township mectiug.—Rual. Obs. ee It is much safer to assume that Mr. Til- deu will exert himself to the utmost te obtain the Democratic nomination for Prosident thau to take for granted that he realizes that he is beaten, and will, therefore, be satistied with turning over slizethe Legislature upon a jaw. requiring that drugyists shall have a lieense from the State Board of Medical Examiners as a re- quisite Qualification for dispensing medi- cincs. The same committee were also di- rected to ask in that memorial for a statu- tory lien law for the benetit of physicians in practice, aud to prepare a bill for both these rposes, to be offered to the Levislature. he Socicty’s next meeting will be xt Ashe- ville on the last Tuesday in May, 1981.” ——__—__ <p The excursion down the river yesterday on the Passport, complimentary to the members of the State Medical Society, was heartily enjoyed by all who participated. There were many ladies in atteudance, the weather was fair, and cool for the season, aud the water smooth. Visits were made to all the places of interest wbout the mouth of the river, and a short run was made outside, to give the visitors a sniff of salt air.— Wil. Star, May 15. Oem Itis the duty of every Democrat to take an interest in the selection of dele- gates to the State Convention whieh eon- veves here on the 17th of June. Only the very best men iu each county should be delegates. Mach depends upon the men we choose for standard bearers.

May 17th, 1880. Raleigh Observer. About three yearsago a man living in an adjoining county, was reported to have been killed by falling from a seaffold. The report was published, and was seen by the man’s wife. She douned the usn- al mourning, and for about a year mourn- ed the loss of the dead. She then began to turn her thoughts rather to the living. Two years past, she was prevailed upon ly a man of this county to become his wife, and the license was issued by a reg- inter of decds in this city. A few weeks ago the supposed dead busband turned up in a most unexpected abrupt style, to thedisinay of husband number twoand the wife. The first husband, af ter a survey of situation, made application for a divorce which was granted.

The essential principles of our Govern- ment and political faith were summed up by Mr. Jefferson in his first ivaugural ad- dréss, aud may be read and studied with profit by every true demoerat. They are as follows: “Equal and exact justice to all meu, of whatever state and persuasion, religious or political; peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations—entangling alliances with none; the support of the State Governments in all their rights, as the most competent administrations for our domescie concerns,and the surest bul- warks against apti-republican tendencies; the preservation of the general Govern- ment in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet-auchor of oar peace at home acd of election by the people, a mild and sa‘e corrective of abuses, which are lopped off by the sivord of revolution, where peace- able remedies are unprovided; absolute aequiescence in the decisions of the major- ity—the vital principle of republies, trom which there is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent: of despotism; a well disciplined militia—our best reliance in peace, and for the first inoments of war, till regulars may relieve them; the supremacy of the civil over the military authority ; economy in the publie expense, that labor may be lightly burdened; the honest payment of our debts, and sacred preservation of the pab- lic faith; encouragement of agriculture and of commerce, its handmaid; the diffu- sion of information, and the arraigninent of all abuses at the bar of public reason ; freedom of religion ; freedom of the press; freedom of person under the protection of the Habeas Corpus; and trial by juries im- partially selected—these priuciples form the bright constellation which has gone before ns, avd guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation.

Three days ago the little fellow began to ex- hibit strange symptome of sickness, which gave his parents. mueb-alarm... Since. that time he has constantly grown wotse, until now he is suffering from what is thought'to be a genuine case of hydrophobia. The | child froths at the mouth, snaps and snarls like a-dog, at times is seized with agonizing xhibits other symptoms of ra- bics. Up to to-day Foreman has shown no symptoms of madness, This; morning he complained of feeling badky, and soon be- gan to act strangely. It was not long before he began to rave like a maniac and and to show signs of rabies. He began to froth at the mouth, howl and snapp like a dog, and tried to Lite whoever came near him, About 9 o’clock this morning he went out on the street, where his appearance crea- ted a perfect panic. He was terribly vio- lent, and threatened every one whom he saw. Fortunately he did not sueceed in in- juring anybody; one negro was struck on the head and knocked down, but he was not badly hurt. People living in the neigh borhood were terribly scared at the violent behavior of the man. A policeman was sought for, and Officer J. P. McWhorter, soon arrived on the scene. He gave Enea to the maniac and caught him at the corner of Sixteenth and Prentice streets. The po- liceman called others to his assistance, and with the he!p of four negroes Foreman was secured and bound about the hands and feet. A wagon was procured and the mad- man placed in jail ina straight-jacket. —~—~-<igp-—-- Why He Dismally Groaned.

The clergyman, as would appear, desired to call the aitentionef his congregation to the fact that it being the last Sunday in the month he would administer the rite of baptism to children. Previous to his having entered the pulpit he had received from one of his elders, who, by the way, was quiet deaf, a notice to the effect that as the children would be present that afternoon, and he had the new Sunday school books ready for dis- tribution, he would have them there to sell to all who desired them. After the sermon, the clergyman began the notice of the bap- tismal service, thus: “AIL of those having children and desiring to have them baptized will bring them this afternoon.” At this point the deaf elder, hearing the mention of children, supposed it was something in ref- erence to his books, and, rising, said :‘“And all those having pone, and desiring them, will be supplied by ime for the sum of twen- ing occurred ” ty-five cents.

Saddenly he espied’n tall, dirk man, who, like himself, appeared to have nothing to do; and, tak- ing hit for one of the servants of the estab- lishment, the Prince walked up to him and tapping him on the shoulder said with a sutile. “Ifyou are the shampooner, I am your man!” The dark and nude anknown turned angrily, and the Prince of Wales found himself face to face with Don Carlos!

The New York correspondent of Hale's Weekly, gives the following ex- tract from a recent sermon by Beech- er which contains matter for reflec- tion : “Mr. Beecher sometimes preaches good practical sermons. On Sunday last he baptized sixteen infants, and then preached on the bringing up of children. The most powerful institu- tion that exists, he said, is not the State, nor the Church, but the family; and the vast majority of children born into this world are brought up by pa- rents incompetent to do it. The first requisite is health, and they should have air, exercise and wholesone food to secure that. All the business of father and mother, till the child comes to be ten or twelve, is to secure good health. It is no use to have a head of genius on a rye-straw body. It is unjust to have an angel that cannot keep hold of the animal that has got to carry him all his life. If there is one thing that the commonwealth can- not afford to do it is to breed crimi- - pof our children more than ours, where children @ years kuow everything and at our rulers. The law of king ought to ‘go furthe back than the mere birth of thie’ ‘itd; it onght to go to the ap . ditions.

OO OE THE COUNTY CONVENTION In pursuance of a call duly issued by the Executive Committe of the county, a large and enthusiastic convention of the Democrats and Couservatives of Rowan county assembled at the court house in Salisbury, on Saturday, the 22nd day of May, 1380. G. A. Bingham, a member of the Execu- tive Committee, called the Convention w order, aud moved that John S. Henderson be called to the chair. Carried. Mr. Henderson then took the chair, and after expressing his thanks to the con- vention for the compliment, announced that the first business before the conven- tion was the election of secretaries. Ou motion W. R. Fraley and Jobu K. Graham were elected. A call of the townships was then pro- ceeded with, aud every township in the county was aunounced as represented in the convention. Mr. Theo. F. Klattz moved that the convention vote tira voce us a mass meet- ing. Mr. Gray opposed the motion. Mr. Craige favored it. The motion was adopted. Mr. Frank Brown moved that this con- vention shall send to the State convention ten delegates from the county at large and tive from each township. Adopted. Mr. Klnttz then moved that the chair- man make the appointments. Carried. Mr. Lee S. Overman introduced the following resolution ; Resolved, That in consideration of his long and valnable services to his party and State, of his faithful and efficieut ad- ministration, which we hereby endorse, and reposing full confidence in his patriot- ism, ability and integrity, we, the re- Rowan county iv convention assemb- led, express our preference for Thos. J. Jarvis for Governor, and iustruct var delegates to the State convention to use all honorable means to secure his nomi- bation. Ma. Overman accompanied his resolu- tion with some remarks highly compli- wentary to Governor Jarvis and his ad- proper selections. “National Cemetery will require 10 cords the U.S. Senate, and Gov. Colquitt has appointed ex-Gov. Brown to fill the va- cancy. Opposition to the appointment of Brown wuanifested with yreat indigaa- tion at Columbus, where the Democratic citizens met in public meeting and passed resolutions protesting against it on the | peen the custom of Democratic couven- ground ‘hat Brown is not a representa- | tions of the people of Rowan county to tive of Georgia nor of the Democratic) justruct their delegates on such occa- party.” Brown, they say, ‘betrayed the} gions, State in the hour of need, and instigated | The chair then put the question on Mr. measures and performed acts which, had Oyerman’s resolution in favor of Gov. they prevailed, woald have incarcerated | Jarvis, and it was carried by ap cent many of our best citizens and bronght | whelming majority. . them to the gallows.” | | ministration.

The Raleigh Observer tells in the follow- ing, all that is known concerning the inten- tions of Mr Best : “To Dulld or not to build, is the question that seems to be agilating the mind of Loe syndicate at present. Col. ‘late, according to the Charlotte Ob- server, has just returned froin N. Y., Wiere he says the syndicate were at seas about the management. Col. ‘Tate, it appears, offered On behalf of the pri- vate stockholders, to take their agreeinent off their hands, but his offer was conditional and probably was not considered. Mr. Best, it is sal.i, witl be on hand Saturday, and will then formally take posses- sion for the syndicate.” We are able to say, this business ts all right. Riots in Barcelona. A Mob tukes Possession and Sets Fire to Valuable Property. New York, May 24.—A_ special from Paris gives details iv regard to the strikes and riots at Barcelona. It seems that some operatives incensed against com- rades having accepted a reduction of, wages iu the woolen factory, mustered over one thousand strong before the works, ordered their fellow-workmen to leave and join the strike. Meeting with a refusal they entered the factory, drove the men ont, destroyed the looms and machinery, and fiually set fire to the building in several places. When pre- paring to visit other establishments for the purpose of carrying out a similar programme, the civil authorities at- tempted to interfere, but were powerless to suppress the disturbance. ‘he crowd constantly increased, until it finally as- sumed the most formidable proportions, Alarm speedily spread to all other shops which were immediately closed. When the operatives left their benches, the military and mounted geudearmes were called out, As svon as they appeared the operatives separated in angry and hostile groupes, but no resistance was offered. Upward of fifty of the ringlead- ere in the riot werearrested. Meanwhile the engines were hard at work endeavor- ing to arrest the progress of the flames in the burning factory. The striking work- men were so threatening ip their demon- strations it was found necessary to pro- tect the firemen and station military in the streets, avenues and roads to prevent the operatives of the suburbs from join- ing those of thecity. The Governor of Barcelona and the wilitary authorities report all quiet. Numerous arrests were made. It is learned that the working men were excited by the revolutionary agents and Serralists propagandists. By order of the government the unions and work- ingmen’s associations have been dis- solved. eee ae ne Winston Sentinel: Nat Crowder was bitten on the wrist by a moccasion snake.

Democrats (?) and three Radicals were elected Connuissiovers of Salisbary. One of their first acts was to putin office three of oul political enemies—Andrew Mur- phy: Bub” Prive, and John Marphy.— The first two of these are traitors to the Demécratice: party, both having, in turn, opposed as independents its nominees; aud both having subsequently used their influence in favor of putrid Radicalian. Jno. Marphy, the last named, has until recently, taken no active part io politics, and his past political history is not cer- tainly known to the writer; bat his pres- ence in Pink Hall's bar-room at the nom- ination of the Ramsay ticket is proof pos- itive that he, too, has found his level. These are “small fry,” we admit, and the positions they fill comparatively an- important. But-why- is it-that a Demo- cratic Board of Commissioners has to dive into a negro “otter slide” for town officers, when their own ranks are full of compe- tent and good men f° Could no more be expected from these five men who allowed their iufluence and names to be used for a Radical victory 1 Have they any claim at all to recognition dis Democrats? Let the Democrats of Salisbury and Rowan remember these triflers, who assist in a Radical triumph and ‘place traitors and cowards in public position. Tos. The Presidential Battle--Going to the Front. Baltimore Sun. WasHINGTON, May 21. Senator Don Cameron will start for Chicago to-morrow. Senator Conkling will follow in a day or two, as will Senator Hoar. Several oth- er Republican Senators will also go ina short time, all of whom are for Grant. Mr. Geo. C. Gorham starts from here on Sunday night. Thus, several days in ad- vance of the meeting of the convention, there will be a large force of influential, able and adroit Grant managers on the spot, laying the wires and working up the Grant case. There has been some in- timation that Mr. Blaine would go to Chi- 'eago to work up his own case. Nothing is is better known than that the weak ness and inefficiency of Mr. Blaine’s managers at Cincinnati was the cause of his not re- ceiving the nomination in 1376, and noth- | ing is better known than that the meu who will have charge of his interests at Chicago will be lamentably inferior to the Grant managers. of this himself, yet with all his remarka- ble audacity and assurance, he must hes- itate before being the frst) presidential eandidate to set the example of persoual- ly soliciting the nominatior.

Epitor Watchman: A desire to be re- membcred is a sentiment that’ pervades the breast of almost every living person. It is presumable, therefore, that the people of this place, in common with others, wonld prefer to be not forgotten. Jackson Hill, named in honor of Maj. Gen. Andrew Jack- son, and established as a post-office, as is supposed, about the time of his adininistra- tion as President of the United States, has, for a great many years, been a place of more or less public interest. It was, for mari years, under the old constitution, a place of much interest as an ewction precinct, being, on election days, resorted to by yreaf num- bers of races, sexes, and colors. It used, on such occasion, to be the scene of many a hard fight, wherein each party, with shirt off, and suspenders drawn tightly around the Waist, (‘whiskey in, and wit out.”) wouid test his physical manhood. Almost ail who took an active part in those fisticuff amuse- ments, have past away, though the few that yet remain are like butting rams, and will j still fight at the drop of a hat. For more than tifty years this has been a place of more or less trade, having support- ed two stores thirty years ago. Fora short time previous to the late war, and during that eventful period, its merchandise was suspended ; but, immediately on the estab- lishment of peace, it was resumed, first by L. D. Bencini, Esq., then of Salisbury, N.C., next by Addurton & Shemwell, to whom were shortly added the firms of Newsom & Brother, and Adderton & Harris, making, at this juncture, three stores, Mr. Bencinci having suspended. Newsom & Brother sus- pended inore than a year ayo, and were suc- ceeded by Surratt & Brother, who have like- wise recently suspended, and been succeed- ed by Daniel & Harrison, two very worthy voung gentlemen, enjoying a life of single cursedness, and having the good wishes of jall.. Whatever good words may be spoken Their stock being ; fresh, and well-selected, success, no doubt, ; awaits them. Long be the time ere they reef j sails either on the shores of time, or margi- the building heretofore “occupied by New- | soin & Brother. This buildipg will be re- filled with a large and choice assortment for a geueral store, ere these lines appear in print. All things considered, Jackson Hill is destined to live and thrive. Being at a dis- tance of 21 miles from Lexington, the same from Salisbury, 27 frem Asheborough, 26 from Troy, and 18 from Albemarle, it occu- pies a somewhat central position between them, and necessarily commands a very con- siderable trade. It is in almost daily com- munication with the North Carolina Rail Road, and enjoys the facilities of three mail routs. It is believed that the Rail Road, as chartered from Thomasville to Albemarte, | will erelong be built, and that then, if not sooner, the Legislature will create a new county out of a portion of Randolph, David- son, and Montgomery, bounded as follows: Beginning at the mouth of Abbots creck Davidson county, thence east according to degree, toa point on Uwharie cquildistant from Burney’s Bridge and Dunboro, thence down Uwharie to its mouth, thence up the Yadkin River to the beginning. It would be dificult to conceive of the rapidity of the growth in business, material wealth, popu- lation intelligence, &., of this place, should such county be created, and such Rail Road be built. J. M. Badgett, Esq., of the firm of Adder- ton & Badgett of this place, is now in New York City buying goods for his firm and others. He is a shrewd and judicious buy- er, always buyes with cash, buyes good goods, and buys so low as to enable him to sell low. He has given your correspondent to understand that, although the country is full of goods, and many small side-shows stattered over the country offer him com- petition, he intends to undersell them all, and to keep constantly on hand everything that they, or any of them Keep, and, in ad- dition, all that they, or any of them do not kcep. He is buying more largely for the old firm of Adderton & Badgett than on any former occasion, and also a large stock for the new firm of Adderton Shemwell & Co., already referred to. This place, no doubt, of all this part of country, is headquarters ; and while it is admitted that surrounding competition may exhibit an occasional mon- key, it is, nevertheless, well known that the worshipful, the Elephant himself, is best seen at Jackson [ill. Respectfully, IcuTHYOPTIAGOS. EL A DIED. Near Salisbury, May 14th, 1880, Mrs Ann H. Johnston, wife of Mr. A. L. Johnston, in the 49th year of her age. Mrs. Johnston was the daughter ofthe late Wn. H. Horah; of Salisbery, ‘and was care- fully trained ap im the ways.of retigion by a pious mother. In ber T6th year she be- came a member of the Presbyterian church and continued to live a cons t- christian life till the close. In.185% she was united in marriage to Me, A. L. Johnston. For many years she was in feeble health, and at the same time had the oversight and care of a large family of children, whom she strove to bring up in the paths of vircuc and religion. Some of ‘her children have been removed tothe unseen world, and many cares filled her tife-with solicitude.

In 1752 there was a grant of 600 acres from Earl Granville to Mathew Locae. From these three persons sprang the numcrous families of Lockes that resided in Rowan county in the closing years of the last, and the opening years of the present centary. But it is with special reference. to the last mentioned-of the three. the Hunurable Mat- thew Locke, that this article is penned. He was the owner of a fertile tract of land, on the cast side of Grant’s Creek, about tive miles south of Salisbury, adjoining the plantations of John Brandon, James Allison and Jolin Nesbit. The family man- sion stood on the Concord Road, at or near the place where .D:. Scott's residence was, now the home of Mr. Philip Owens. Mr. Locke was born in 1730, aud was probably.a grown young man when he caine to the county, and contributed his part in lasing the foundations of society ; and when the Regulation troubles arose he was in the prime of life, having already estublished a reputation for capacity in business and in- tegrity ip the most delicate of trusts. In 1771, when the people of Rowan were groan- ing under the pressure of exorbjtant taxa- tion, and aconmwittce of the people had met, the clerk of court, sheriff and other officers of the crown, and exacted from them a prom- ise to return all moneys received by them over and above their lawful fees, Matthew Locke was among those selected as proper persons to receive and return to the people these unlawful fees. As General Waddell soon appeared in Salisbury, with the Gov- ernor’s troops, and the whole scheme of the Revulation was crushed out in the battle of Alamance only two monihs after this ap- pointment, it is probable that no indemnity for the past was secured, but the appoint- ment of Locke for the discharge of such a delicate duty shows the confidence reposed in him by his fellow citizens. He was chosen to represent Rowan in the Provincial Congress, which met in Hillsboro, August 20, 1775, along with James Smith, Moses Winslow, Samuel Young, Wiliam Kennon aud Wiiliam Sharpe. Mr. Locke was chosen by this Congress, along with Maurice Moore, Richard Caswell. Rev. Henry Patillo, and others, to confer with sueh per- sons as entertained religious or political scruples with respect to asaociating in the counnon cause of Amcrica, to remove those scruples, and to persuade them to co-operate with the friends of Liberty. Mr. Locke, also, served on the Committee along with Caswell, Hooper, Johnston, Hewes, Spencer and others, which prepared the plan for the regulation of the internal peace of the Province in the absence (!) of Gove Martins -He alsoserved on Committees of Public Finance—Ways and Means tof arrangement of Minute Men, Commissaries, and other important matters. Ata meeting of the Povinciat Council, held at) Johnston Court House, October 18, 1775, Matthew Locke, Esq, was appointed Paymaster of the troops stationed in the District of Salis- bury and also of the Minute-Men in. said District, and Richard Caswell, the * South- ern Treasurer,” was directed to pay into his hand five thousand two hundred and fifty pounds for that purpose. At the meeting of the Provincial Congress at Halifax, April 4th, 1776, Mr. Locke, with Gen. Rutherford,represented Rowan county, and was made chairman of the Committee on claims, to settle and allow military and naval accounts. Ee was also on the Com- mittee of “Secrecy, Intelligence and Obser- vation,” was appointed to receive, procure and purchase fire-arms for the soldiers of Rowan county. In view of these facts gath- ered from the minutes of the North Caroli- na Provincial Congress, as found in Peter Force’s “American Archives,” it appears that Mr. Locke was a working man in pub- lic affairs, and that he was entrusted with much of the important business of the Con- gress, especially such as related to the Pub- lic Finances. After the formation of the State Constitu- tion, Matthew Locke was chosen to repre- sent Rowan county four successive years, 1777--1778, in the House of Commons, and the two succeeding years, 1781-1782, he was a member of the Senate. After this he serv- ed six vears again in the House of Commons —making in all twelve years in the Legisla- ture. From 1793 to 1799 he was a member of the Congress of the United States. His pub- lic services lasted almost as long as his life, for in 1801, the 71st year of his age, he de- parted this life. He was married to a daughter of Richard Brandon, an early patriot of Rowan county, and had at one time four sons in the Revo- lutionary war. One of these sons, Licuten- ant George Locke, was killed by the British. at Kennedy’s Farm, between Charlotte and Sugar creek Church, in a skirmish, when Lord Cornwallis captured Charlotte, on the 26th of Sept.. 1780. His remains were in- terred at his father's residence, near Salis- bury. : Co!. Francis Locke, who was appointed Colonel of the Ist Rowan Regiment by the Provincial Congress, in April, 1776, with Alexander Dobbins as Lieutenant Colonel, James Brandon 1st Major and James Smith, 2d Major, was a nephew of the Hon. Mat- thew Locke. Col. Locke, was in the com- mand of General Ashe, in the beginning of 1779, when that officer was sent to Georgia unprepared, with two thousand North Car olina militia. Gen. Ashe, Gen. Lincoln pushed these troops forward at Brier creek, where they were surprised and defeated by Gen. Prevost. Col. Locke was one of the Court-martial to examine into that disastrous affair. The un- fortunate Gen. Ashe, being broken in spirit by the result of this transaction, retired from the army and was no more in active service. The reader will remember that it was Col. Francis Locke, who with four hundred men, from Rowan and Mecklenburg, attacked and defeated the tories at Ramsour’s Mill, on the 20th of June, 1780, in a hard fought battle, against a superior force, entrenched on ground of their own choosing. In this battle seven whig captains, namely, Falls, Knox, Dobson, Smith, Bowman, Sloan and Armstrong were killed, and the bodies of sit of them sleep under a brick monumental structure, on the southern brow of the rise- jug battle-ground, about fifty or sixty yards from the poor: public road.

There is an article going the rounds entitled, “How Girls Go to sleep.” The manner in which they go to sleep according to the article, can’t hold a candle to the way a married woman goes to sleep. Instead of thinking of what she should have attended to be- fore going to bed, she thinks of it af- terward. While she is revolving these matters in her mind, and while snug- ly tucked in bed, due old man is scratching his legs in front of the fire and wondering. how he will pay the next month’srent. Suddenly she says: ‘James, did you lock the door?’ ‘Which door? ‘The cellar door,’ ‘No,’ says James, ‘Well, you’d better go down and lock it, for I heard some one in the yard last night.’ Accordingly, James paddles down stairs and Jocks the door, About the time James returns and is going to get into bed she remarks ; ‘Did you shut the stair door ?’ ‘No,’ says James. ‘Well, if it is not shut the cat will get up into the bed-room.” ‘Let her come up, then,’ says James, i}l-naturedly. ‘My goodness, no!’ returns the wife, ‘she’d suck the baby’s breath !’ Then James paddles down stairs again, and steps on a tack, and closes the stair door, and curses the cat, and returns to the bed-room. Just as he begins to climb into his couch his wife observes ; ‘I forgot to bring some water. Sup- pose you bring some iu the big tin,’ And so James, with a muttered curse goes down into the dark kitchen, and falls over achair, and rasps all the tinware off the wall, in search of the “big”? tin, and then he jerks the stair door open and howls: | ‘Where the deuce are the matches?” She gives him mintte directions | where to find the matches, and adds that she would rather go and get the water herself than have the neighbor- hood raised about it. After which James finds the matches, procures the water comes up stairs, and plunges into bed. Prevently his wife says; says she, understand- ing about money matters. Now, next week I’ve got to pay’— ‘I don’t know what you've got to pay, and I don’t care,’ shouts James, as he lurches around and jams his face against the wall; ‘all I want is togo to sleep.’ ‘That’s all very well for you,’ snaps his wife, as she pulls the covers vicious- ly, ‘you never think of the worry and trouble I have. And there’s Aramen- ta, who I believe is taking the measles.’ ‘Let her take ’em,’ says James, sticking his legs out as straight as two ramrods, ‘It seems to me you have no sense or feeling,’ whines his wife, ‘and if you had any respect for me you would not eat onions before you come to bed. The atmosphere of the room from the smell of onions is horrid,’ = ‘Well, go down and sleep in the kitchen, then, and let me alone,’ says James,’ Hereuvon she begins to ery softly, but about thetime James is falling into 2 gentle doze she punches him in the tibs with her elbow, and says ; Did you hear that scandal about Mrs, Jones » What Jones ?’ says James, sleopily. ‘Why, Mrs. Jones.’ ‘Where?’ inquries James, “I declare,” says his wife, “you are gelting more stupid every day. You know Mrs. Jones that lives at No. 21, Well, day before yesterday, Susan Smith told Mrs. Thompson that Sam | Baker had said that Mrs, had-~” Here she pauses and listens. James is snoring, in profound slumber. With a sort of rage she pulls all the covers off him, wraps herself up in them and Jays awake untll 2 A, M,, thinking how badly abused she is. And that is the way 3 married woman goes to sleep, ‘James, let’s have an ’ Jones =—— ibe Water as a Fuel, The second trial of the Holland ree tort, ia which water and naphtha are used as fuel to produce steam for the propulsion af 3 locomotive engine came off at Cullege Point, on the Long Jsland Railroad, yesterday af- ternoun, in the presence of a number of experts and scientitic gentlemen. The retort was attached to an engine belonging to the railroad company, which had beeu.standing in the re- pair shops for six months. It is not such an engine 98 the inventor woul ——— have e select ‘totally d a “on n: ft ate’ n utility, of, his. fompion. Te a however, the only able. It was. af tal ome a eee engineers “present! a with a coal fire it would be difficult to raise stedm enough to move: the eéngine itself, -let alone a load. The run was made from Flusbing to-Whites- ton and return, a distance, of . six |2 miles with one coach filled with: pass- engers. Only two gallons of naplitha, worth three cents per gallon were con- sumed. As the aparatus was only tem- porarily attached to the engine,the com- bustion was not absolutely perfect, though the operator assured the gen- tlemen present that such a result could be secured under favorable cir- cumstances. The highest pressure of steam attained was about 125 pounds to the square inch. The engine was run out of the round house and on the turn table in 40 minutes after lighting the fires under the boilers. It then had 60 pounds of steam. Dr. Holland says that he conceived the idea erabodied in his patent in 1856, and that he has been working at it ever since. By his process the naph- tha is subjected to an absolutely dis- tinctive distillation, which produces bi-carbonated hydrogen. The water used is separated into oxygen and hydrogen gases. The secret consists in separating the gases of the water, utilizing the oxygen and producing a perfect combustiou of the naphtha and the elemental gases. It is claim- ed that the cost of fuel for operating railroads may be reduced at least one- half; that the invention may be ap- plicd to any engine, and that it will be of immense advantage in ocean steamship navigation. [t is also be- lieved that it will be exceedingly valuable on elevated railways, where the danger of fires by falling sparks |is constant, and that it can be ap- iplied to domestic and illuminating purposes. ah eee eee Father McNamara. A few days past the Observer con- tained a reference to this gentleman who was formerly in charge of the Roman Catholic Church of this city. He has Jeft that church and founded in New York a church of his own, to which he has given the name of the ‘Independant Catholic Church.’ Of this church he has been made Bish- op. This charch is also termed the ‘Trish Catholic Church,’ for it does not recognize the Pope at all, and is composed of Irish entirely. On Sunday last the new bishop gave a sketch of his life, which will no doubt be relished by those who knew him while in Raleigh. He went on to say that he became a Catholic at nineteen years of age, and that he was a frue- blue Irishman. He said that at one time he ‘had founded a church in Brooklyn, and lectured all over the country. At one time he was reporter fur a paper in Massachusetts. He had been accused of being a drunkard, but this was not true. He sometimes flourished his handkerchief and drank lemonade. He said he found there wasn’t an honest fibre in several of the men who joined with him, and had east them overboard, but good and loyal men were yet left. Speak- ing of his new church, he said: ‘The way I started this church was this. I had only seventy five cents left, and I hired a newly arrived Datchman, who carried my proclamation excommuni- cating the Pope.

The seven Bibles of the world are the Koran of the Mohammedans, the Eddis of the Scandinavians, the Try Ritikes of the Buddhists, the five Kings of the Chinese, the three Vedas of the Hindoos, the Zendavesta, and the Scriptures of the Christians, The Koran is the most recent of the seven Bibles, and not older than the seventh century of our era, It isa compound af quotations from the Old and New Testaments,. the Talmud. and the Gospel of St,-Barnabas..: The Eddis of the Scandinavians were first pub- lished in the fourteenth eentury, The Ritikes of the Bud@hists containsub- lime morals and pure aspirations, but theic anthor lived and died in the sixth century before.

There is no more doubt that drink- ing ive water arrests digestion than there is that a refrigerator would ar- rest perspiration. It drives from the stomach its natural heat, suspends the flow of gastric juice and shocks and weakens the delicate organs with which it. comes in. contact. An able writer on human diseases says: Hab- itual ice water drinkers are usually very flabby about the region of the stomach. They complain that their food lies heavy on that patient organ. They taste their dinner for hours after it is bolted. They cultivate the use of stimulants to aid digestion. If they are intelligent they read upon food and what the physiologist has to say about it—how long it takes cab- bage and pork and beef and potatoes, and other meats and esculents to go through the process of assimilation. They roar at new bread, hot cakes and fried meat, imagining these to have been the cause of their maladies. But the ice water goes down all the same, and finally friends are called in totake a farewell look at one whom fysterious Providence has called toaclime where, as far as is known, ice water is not used. The number of immortal beings who go hence, to return no more, on ac- count of ice water, can hardly be esti- mated.— Boltimore Sun. em An American Girl in Paris. ee An American girl in Paris writes “We went to the Madeleine to church this morning. Itis not much like church, especially when one stops to buy things on the way home. The French all do their shopp! g on Sun- day, but they are very particular not to miss mass inthe morning. The music at the Madeleine was very fine, but the ceremyny was rather ridicu- lous. “Soon after we came to the pension, they announced a soiree for Sunday evening. The English girls rebelled at first, but at last were prevailed upon to-go, and they danced nutil 12 o’clock at night. This is not the worst vf it, Svon afterward the most prudish of the English girls were seen going to hear Sarah Bernhardt play on Sunday evening. “Weare inthe queerest of hotels now. We have no femme de chambre, but instead an old man dues all the chamber work. He is called ‘garcon’ ia French, and B and I call him ‘the old boy’ in plain English. “f shall never believe that the French are bhypvoritical. I have found them very kind, good-hearted aud frank, Of. course French. girls are vety differént in their feeling from Amerieans or English. The Americans ure a sort of cross between the English and French—better than the English and a little better than the French.” A proposition has been made by the State of New York to preserve Niagara Falls and create a park around it. Gov. Seymour, we believe is the chairman of the commission charged with examining into the mat- ter. Their notion is to relieve the the surroundings of traces of civiliza- tion—tg tear down the buildings on Goat ‘Island, and along the banks, and to restore the Falls to their pri- meval appearance. The present open spaces are to be planted in forest trees, and tlre whele scenery is to have the cast of wild nature. We like the idea. Niagara Falls presents oné of the most sublime views which canbe found in the world. and all who have ever visited it will doubtless. be. pleased to under- stand that it is to be preserved in its Sata 7 ‘The Virginia Midland Road’ was sold to jts bondholders . on Thareday P | Inet for” $4,500,000, just $4,000,000 tae that ome. of the bonded| elder than eleven centuries B.C. ‘The gulvanized :|Mercuant, Mercwpise Boxer, Techn ‘ack up & conversa, tion: with his intended brother-in-law.

Reader, did you ever wonder, When you've seeu a hardened face? Have you ever stopped to ponder O’er some loved one’s sad disgrace ? Al! ves, surely vou have noted The despairing, saddened mein Of him who once was courted, Ou the merits of his good name. That good name was highly honored, And that brow, then bright and clear; Anda face, now deeply furrrowed— To a mother’s life brought cheer. But, alas! ‘tis dark, despairing ; Sin has laid its withering hand— Crushing a soul for hell—preparing Eternal death by its subtle wand. See yon form beloved is reeling, Tottering from the accursed cup! Beats a sad heart, or unheeding The great world around cares nought? Yet, beneath that bosom swelling, There’s a heart to love will yield ; Then in gentle words protesting, Trusting—God will prove his shield. Necd you longer in doubt ponder ? Charity brings its reward! A kind word in love may couquer, Tho’ the heart be conscience seered. Happy thought, oh let it linger! Balin of peace to every heart— In lite’s path is there a stranger, Who in love does life impart ? Yes, indeed, there was a stranger, Wino to earth in love was made A kind friend, a shield from anger— Crucitied, that anger stayed. OPE EAE, LEP I TE LET EEC CORRESPONDENCE. For the Watchman.

But not on- ly the Balls are sacred, but to the modest cow isa shrine erected in every pasture and green field—even the sucking calf of a few weeks has its train of devotees. This worship is uniqne ; no priests with their fillets; uo smoking altars are seen, and no elaborate temples are erected. But Mr. Editor, if you could have seen half a score of live men prostrate before a heard of short-horns—as humbleasany Memphian —you would have thought a return. to Egyptian ilotatry, not only possible, but agtually instituted. "Tistrue one fails to find the serapeum where these sacred au- imals are buried, but harvging in the balls of the worshipers can be scen the pictures of the departed heroes and heroives.

There is another kind—the Seventeens—which look us well, are as large for beeves, and are as good milkers. Now, why, do you suppose, they are very much less valuable than the other branch- es of the family of short-horns? Because their ancestry cannot date back as far.— The records were lost in England in the seventeenth century; and while many men find them as valuable as any others, Still their bleed capnok-be traeethes Could the dudtiy ties Lord in, Edzland be more fistidions in his aHianees? = = * Whenever an animal has even the small- est fraction of bluod frumn‘a tower grade, it curmot be registered. This registry is nnide so as to facilitate tracing of pedigree, and it adds to the value. There’ may be two calves with same sire and dame; the one registered will bring about double the money, though asau animal the one not registered may be intrinsically superior. The calves must be about a year old be- fore they are registered, so that the color way not change. The heifers sheuld be named with a certain similarity to the For instance, acow named Olive, her calf, if a female, should haveapame beginning with “O”—say, Olympia, or Oriole, or something similar.

The Short-horns are the great beef pro- ducing breed. The western cattle raisers /come in here to buy ap the superfluous balls to carry back in order to increase the weight of their market beeves.

GRANT AND EMPIRE. It is now pretty well settled that Grant will get the nomination of the Radical party for the presidency. We do not ob- ject, for we believe that he will be more easily beaten than any other man of that party. If not, then, iudeed, we baye fallen upon evil times. Grant is thoroughly identified with all the revolutiouary and unconstitutional measures of the Radical party. His eight year’s Administration was the most shameless, tyrauical aud corrupt this country has ever seen. He represents the march of Empire, of des- potism. If we are to judge by the past he is capable of any act to further his own ambitious purposes. He will sacrifice his country and the liberty of the people for power and fame. He has never hesitated to over-ride the coustitution, the liberty of the people, or the rights of the States when they stood between him aud some ambitious scheme or wish. Heisa tyrant by nature, and an enemy to good govern- ment because it pays him to be se. The Emj:ire is peace, said Napoleon the first, when be was scheming to overthrow the liberties of the French people. Grant ne doubt thinks the Empire is peace, and, we have no doubt he will so declare, forget themselves as to elect him Presi- dent of these United States again. No greater calamity conld befall our Radical cursed country. It would bean entire sur- render of all the established usages and customs of the people since the founda- tion of our system of Democratic govern- ment. It would be cutting loose from the old land marksand entering upon a boand- less sea of innovations. It would be vir- tually making Grant king, -with supreme power for life. History tells us that Phillip of Mace- don was tue enemy of Atheus. By place and gold he bribed certain leading men of the Athenians to betray their country. What Phillip was to Greece Grant is to the principles of self-government and lib- erty in the United States. Grant is the very head aud soul of the Radical party — a party whose secret of success is mainly attribuable to its being able to bribe the leading men of the opposition to its rev- olutivuary designs. Even Deniocrats have been bong!.t like sheep, with the prices offered. But this infamous tratic has become a grave matter. Men can no f touger'sell their principles for place with- out also bartering away the liberties of their couutry. The Radical leaders are us keen to buy as ever, though it is not mere votes they want, bat prolonged and: absolute power. They bid vot fur were pelf and place, but fur Empire.

Down with third termers— down with oppressive protective tariffs— | down with crushing monopolies—down ! with Federal usarpations, and officious meddling with State and loeal affairs. Give us back the Government of our fath- ers, honest administration, pure men for office, and low taxes. Away with Radi- | cal frauds, red-tape and insolence in pab- lie officials. Radicalism is inevitably leading to cen- tralized Empire. And every vietory of! that party however small is adding fuel to the Hames and strepyth to the ponder- ous Wheels that are rolling ou and erush- ing to the earth every thing dear to free- meu. Our cause is nothopeless. Every- thing depends upon the action of the peo- ple. In united effort there is) strength. There is victory in organization. There | isa balé million majority of Democrats | in this country. and if they will organize and stand together, victory will surely perch upon their banners, and Radicalism will reap the reward of its crimes. Mr. Jeffersou the great champion of | Democratic principles Was elected Presi- | dent in 1300, when all the conibined infla- ence of Federalisiu was against bim. But the people had become alarmed and grown tired of the infamous ‘‘Alien and Sedition laws” passed by the Federalists, just as they are new tired of the tyranny, rob- acts of Radicalism. They had great odds to contend against. “All the departments of the Federal gov- ernment at that. tiime--the Executive, Legislative aud Judicial— vere decidedly against them. with all the power and.in- fluence of public patronage. The Legis- latures of all the States, also, except those of Kentucky and Virginia, were against them, Of the two hundred newspapers then published in the United States, all but about tweuty were enlisted by puef- erence or patronage on the Federal side.” Yet Jefferson the master spirit of the re- forms proposed was elected; and so we can elect avy good Demegrat, this year on a platform of proper pringiples. And we must do if, or prepare for the worst calain- ities. The first thing to be done is to thorough-, ly organize the party; and the second, is to see that every man voies for the regu- lar vominecs of the Democratic conyeh- tions. Every man bas an influence aud he should use it in bringing about cou- cord and concert of aciion iv our ranks. He cannot afford to remain in active un- less he is willing to see the curse of Rad- ical rule coi.tinued—unless he is willing to see military government established and negro domination prevail. Every man, too, is directly interested in goed goverument, and it is his bounden duty to use every effort iv his power to promote it. Liberty is worth more than money, aud the poorest man, therefore, is as deep- ly interested in the result of this campaigo las the richest. The duty for action is imperative. Organize and vote! oe re GRANT AND THE Prestpency.—Chica- go, May 24.—The Galena Gazette, whose editor is a personal friend of Grant's, i$ denying the . statements. regarding his withdrawal, says: Grant’s name has never gone before the public as a candi- date for the presidency byany word or act of his own, and he will: most certainly not order’ his name to be withdraivn. A very large class of the American peo- ple have ehose to make him their -candi- date and if the Republicans at the uation- al convention at Chicago see fit to tender the nomivation he will not decline it. This we know to be a fact, and we pub- lish it because it is well. that represena- tives of the county should cease to hold the matter iu doubt. — — —-___- , Monrve Eazpress: We see the name of Sawuel J.

Against the “unalterable” resolutions of -the Republican party, adopted only four years ago. Against all these can Grant be elect- ed?

An Extraordinary Bogus Dispatch that its Author Never Sent. Recently a telegraph operator named Themas Holister was arrested in San Fraucisco by a Chicago detective. Hol- ister had formed a plot to cut the tele- graph-wires uniting New York and San Francisco. aud then send East a dispatch dated at some station in the Sierras, say- ing thata tidal wave, followed by an earthquake, had destroyed Sau Francisco abd Virginia City. The object of the plot was to cause a panic in Pacific Mail stock and Comstock securities in New York market, the panic to be taken ad- vantage of by confederates. The New York Sun says: “For several mouths the Western Un- ion knew their wires were being tamper- ed with, and seut for the Chicago de- tective. He traveled along the line fur several weeks, aud finally came toa clue at a spot a few miles east of Battle Moan- tain. At this spot the wire had been cut, anda piece that eould readily bediseonuect- ed had been let in. The deteetive further found an insulated wire concealed iu the grass and sage-bush near by. An end of it long enoagh to reach the main line was coiled up.

A Brahmin’s estimate of missionary work is given by the Rev. Dr. Chamber- lain, of the American Presbyterian Mis- sion at Ascot, India, who says that after one of his Bible lectures a Brahmin asked permission to say a few words, and pro- ceeded thus: “Behold that mango tree yonder. Its fruit is approaching to ripe- ness. Bears it that fruit for itself? From the moment the fruit is ripe till the last mango is pelted off it is assailed with sticks and stones by every passer-by, till it stands bereft of leaves and bleeding from its broken branches. Is it discour- aged ? Does it. say, If | am barren no one will pelt me? Not at all. Next season the buds and fruit appear again. That is a type of these missionaries. I have watched them well. What do they come herefor? Not for gain; some of our elerks get morethan they. Notfor an easy life; see how they work! No! They seek, like the mango tree, to bear fruit for others, and this, too, though treated with much abuse. Now what makes them do all this for us? It is their Bible ;” and at the end of an eloquent defense of that book he said: “Do what we will, it is the Christian’s Bible that will sooner or later work the regeneration of this land.” _ oae—n—rr It is superfluous perhaps to state that the N. C. Medical Socicty which assem- bled in Wilmington last week Is a very highly intelligent and,in the main, dig- nified body uf gentlemen. They left a very fine impression, we feel sure, upon our cemmunity. One thing, we are dis- posed to bring iuto prominence in this connection. The committee of the New Hanover Medical Society having in charge the arrangements for the excarsion to Smithville, complimentary to their guests, decided to furnish no liquors fur the oc- easion. Two often accompanying invi- tations, the assurance that there will be an abundant supply of whiskey, is her- alded through the press as an induce- ment to those invited to attend. A very gross compliment, if indeed it isa com- pliment, to the guests. All honor, we say, to those who adjudged that the Medical Society of North Carolina might be regarded as occupying a position not to be reached by such groveling induce- meuts. We trust the worthy precedent will generally be followed.—Presbyterian. —— ~~ A NoTIceaBLE DIFFERENCE.—A smart young mau asked a gentleman from Cape Cod: “What's the difference between you and a clam ?” thinking that the Cape Codger would say he didu’t know, and then the young man would pity him for not being able to see any difference be- tween himself and a clam, but the thing didn't werk. ‘The Codger took the young ain and brushed a path across the street and then after crowding him into ao emp- ty fish barrel and yanking him out again, suid: “A clam wouldn't be playing with you this way. That’s the difference ‘twixt me an’aclam!” The young man had no more questions to ask. ——— Military chaplains are to be dispensed with at theend of the yearin Frauce.

It swit-be no-sacritice of feeling for us to do go, for we have not reached the conelu- sien that any one of our distinguished | fi iow citizens is casential to the success @: te Democratic party, nor that the party isso heavily in debt to any one of them that it should stand by him in de- fiance of discordant and offended sympa- thiea. We believe the people will cheer- fully ratify the rejection both of Jarvis and Fowle, if thereby the whole strength of the party can be concentrated upan pume vtuer good wan. We have pleuty of thea:, and we trust the State Conven- vention will keep before their eyes the main point, a wnited party, let it cost what it may. Neither Jarvis por Fowle should weigh anything as against the success of principles. These is too much at stake in the approaching contest to sqnancer priceless opportunities on personal trifles. Nor can we well afford to put candidates iv the tield who will be driven to defend themselves on charges made by their own political frieuds, the Democrats. There should be no waste of time and energy in this way. Hence a new man bad better be taken up coucerving whom there has been no contest among ourselves. The State Convention should signalize its wisdom either by harmonizing conflicting opinions and feelings or totally ignoring those who are subjects of such discord, aid it will be false to the duty entrus td tu it shoald they fail to do so. ge Gov Jarvis aud the editor of the Ral- eigh Observer have a controversy grow- ing out of articles published by the editor which the Governor says is an attack on his personal integrity, and characterises them as ‘‘sneers and slanders.” The editor endeavors to show that the passages alluded to were not employed in that sense or for that purpose, but to explain some of the reasous why it would be un- wise to vominate a candidate concerning whom questions could arise in the can- vass all over the State would re- qnire explanation and defense.

There will be nothing lost by it: Seales is the equal of either of them. The Democratic party is vich in good material for Governor, and the great body of voters are not caring much who gets it. Rowan has declared her prefer- ence, but as between equals there is not muuch choice, she will raise nu row against Seales. SO It will be remarkable if the contending friends of Mr. Jarvis and Judge Fowle shall be the means of laying them both on the shelf. Certainly neither of them have any occasion to fear for anything they have said or done or omitted to say or do. Either of them would make a good Governor, and yet their friends may work up public feeling to such an exteuf as to prevent the nomination ot either.

U. 8. Grant for President, and having'the best interest of the Repab- lican party at heart, and desiring honest- ly to represent our constituents, hereby pledge ourselves to vote against his nom- ination.” [Signed by 23 delegates.] Senators Wagner, West, Robertson and others, of the protesting New York dele- gation, are receiving numerous telegrams from their constituents endorsing their action and urging firmness. Senator B. K. Bruce was serenaded at the Palmer House last night by his color- ed friends among the delegates represent- ing all the Southern States. They were enthsiastic in tleir expressions in favor of his nominatiov for Vice President. He made a brief speech from the rotunda. Geo. Williams, of Cincinnati, responded in an eloquent speech, full of compliments for the manner in which Senator Bruce had represented the celured race in Con- gress. There seems to be a determina- tiou on the part of the colored delegates to present the name of Senator Bruce ip the convention for Vice President. The national committee yesterday de- cided that neither of the Louisiava dele- gations should be adinitted to the tempo- rary organization of the convention. The Grant caucus lasted until midnight. There were nearly 300 delegates in the room. John Wentworth presided. Conk- ling made a powerful speech, setting forth the reasons why they should remain solid for Grant and not be frightened by a par- cel of boys, as he characterized the sup- porters of the opposing candidates. He said all they need do was to be firm and Grant would be nominated. The Blaine delegates also held a caucus.) At 12:30 the delegations wer generally in their places, but the galleries are filling slowly. 1:05 p. m.—Chairman Cameron, of the the Republican national committee, call- ed the convention to order, and called up- on Rev. Dr. Keitridge, of Chicago, who opened the proceedings with prayer. Cameron briefly addressed the conven- tion, referring to the bitterness which had attended the preliminary canvass, which he hoped would now disappear in the air, and give way to the determination to put in nomination for the presidency the strongest candidate, and one who would command the respect of the civilized world. He counseled harmonious and united action. In conclusion, he announe- ed that he had been instructed by the national committee to put in) nomination for temporary chairman Hon. George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts. [Applause.] The nomination was uvavimously ratified, and Davis, of Texas, Frye, of Maine, and Raum, of Illinois, were appointed a com- mittee to conduct him to the chair. Hoar, in taking the platform, addressed the convention at some length. He said the function of the convention was that of naming a man whom the people would make President. The following were appointed tempo- rary secretaries: John H. Roberta, of IHinois; C. L. Magee, of Pennsylvania, also-Chas. W. Clisby,of Alabama, Broad- well, of Missouri, as reading clerk ; Engene Davis, of New York, officials teno- grapher. Hale, of Maiue, to expediate the busi- ness, moved a resolution that the roll of States and Territories be called, and that the chairman of each delegation shall name members of the committees in the following order: On permanent orgapi- tinue to furnish one of the sources of rev-| zation ; on rules and order of business ; on credentials and on resolutions. Adopt- ed without objection. The roll was accordingly called and the committees pamed. Ohio's presentation of James A. Garfield as one of the com- mitteemen was greeted with considerable applause. Utah being excluded in the roll of States and Territories, Frye asked that it be in- pecially that are most needed by the toil-| eluded. Conkling, on rising, was received with every school book, every Bible, and the|applanse, and said there were objections, holding as he did, that the order of the tice, because the poor pretense of revenue | convention had been executed as proposed by the national committee. There was a vision, therefore, which shall be at once] contest in Utah as in Louisiana, and so searching and fair is demanded, and they were omitted. The chair ruled that asthe committee’s roll had been called a motion to add any State or Ter- Uaited States, in round numbers, is two ritory was in order. Frye said it was agreed by the commit- tee that Utah should be put upon that roll [grest applause,] and that the secre- tary of the national convention says the Utah omission was made by a mistake. {Wild applause. } Conkling said if this had becn a mis- take it should be corrected. McCormick, of Arizona, moved a call class, to live on iucomes free fram taxes|of the roll of States and territories for presentation of creditials and for notice of contests, and that all such papers be referred without statement or debate to the committee on credentials. Adypted. On a call of the roll Alabama and Ar- kansas gave uotice of a contest, Henderson, of Iuwa, gave notice of a contest in. teu districts of Illinois. {Ap- pluuse in the galleries.].

ANOTHER INDIAN Massacrx.—St. Louis, May 31.—A Southern New Mexico special says: Indians attacked a party of Mexicans at Old Fort. Cummings, Saturday, and one man was wounded. A paywaster who was passing pursued the Indians with an escort and fought them all the afternoon, They retreated in Cook’s cannon at night, and since then five bodies have been found in Cook’s cannon, among them Sam’! J. Lyon, stage driver. All the bodies are terribly burned; the stage coach and three wagons being also burned. It is supposed at least four others were massacred. The Indians left in the direction of Flordia. Troops arrived at the scene Saturday and took up the trail of the Indians. Se Tue ANTI-THIRD TERM CoMMITTFE.—St. Louis, May, 30.—It is authoritatively stated here that the National committee of one hundred provided for by the Republican Ant’-Third Tern Convention held May 6th have been appvuinted, and that the names of the gentlemen composing it will be announc- ed at Chicago in the event of the nomina- tion of Gen. Grant. Woman SUFFRAGISTS IN CHICAGO.— Chicago, May 31.—There is a large number of women here, nearly every State in the Union being represented, who, under* the auspices of the national woman's suffrage association, have established a headquarters at the Palmer House. The object is to se- curea plank®in the Republican platform favoring woman suffrage. ae eee Liyeco,, Ont, May 31.—Owing toa misplaced switch a freight train on the Great Western Road ran off the track near this place. The engine and twelve cars roll- ed down a twenty feet embankment, canzht fire and burned to ashes. The engineer was killed and burned almost to acinder. Two others were injured. —_-H _ oe WASINGTON, May 31.—Srnate.—On motion of Eaton, the House joint resoln- tion requesting the President to open negotiations with France, Spain, Austria and Itally, with a view to the removal of restrictions upon the importation of to- bacco into said countries, was taken and passed. Davis, of West Virginia, chairman of the committee, thought the business of Congress was not now in such a state that a day could be safely fixed upon for ad- jourument; the comimnitte therefore would not yet report back the House resolution providing for adjournment, but hoped it might be practicable for Congress to ad- | journ about the 10th or 15th of June. On motion of Burnside, the Senate took up the House bill to carry into ef- fect the resolution of Congress adopted October 29, 17381, with regard to a monu- mental column at Yorktown, Va. It ap- propriates $100,000 for the erection of a monument aud $30,000 to defraying the expenses of the Yorktown centennial celebration. After considerable debate, in) which Kernan, Maxey, Johnson, Hampton, Withers, Butler, Hereford and and others supported the bill, and Cock- rell and Morrill opposed it, the bill was amended so as to provide that thirteen Senators shall be members of the cow- mission for the selection of a site, and was then passed. ee The decision of our North Carolina courts that a marriage solemnized abroad between a white person anda negro, citizens of this State, who intend to re- turn here, is void, has been followed in a celebrated case in New York. Mr. Orson Crampton, a promiuent lawyer of Mobile, fet! in love with his aunt and she agreed to marry him. But the Alabama law not permitting it, he proposed that they should go to New York and marry and then return to Mobile. He finally tired of herand flew the track. Visit- ing New York, she sued him and recover- eda $10,000 judgment, but it was set aside and the promise held void, the ceurt holding that when the parties are to be domiciled is the place of performance of the marriage contract, because the sub- stantial consequences of the act are fixed by the law of the domicile, and because the presumed intention of the parties can- not otherwise be effectuated.— Kaleigh Observer. ~~» —__-——_ WELCoME THE VisiTORS.— Prof. W.

It seems that had sprevioasly slipped the bit out of th-of his horse, which wasa yoane of February last. The principal witness- es in the case were the two women accus- ed of the crime, and they swore against each other—Mary laying it on Jane and Jane laying it on Mary. There was a foul murder deliberately perpetrated, avd there is little doubt that ove or both of the woinen performed the deed. The testimony of Javue Rankin was that Mary Poteet was alone when the child was born, and that it was covered up under a part of the quilt on whieh Mary was set- ting before the tire-place, and that Mary was choking it, and said to her, ov evter- ing, 1 intend to kill it. The testimony of Mary was, that Jane was with her from 20 tu 30 minutes before the birth, and that Jane struck the chiid on the head—she heard the blow but did not see it given. That she told Jaue she was about to faint, and asked help to the bed. That Jaue then eaught bold of her hand and put a knife into it, and used her band with the knife in it to cat the baby’s throat.

A messenger was despatched for medical aid immediately, and Dr. H. T. Trantham and Dr. Johu Whitebead were summoned. Bat they had gone only part of the way when they met a procession bearing the dead body of Mr. Brown. Ie died in about 20 inin- utes after the accident. The daughter of the deceased had her collar bone broken and was considerably bruised, and stop- ped ov reachiug town, at the tcaidence of Mr. J. Allen Brown, where she received: such surgical aid as her case required, aud thea went ov with the body of her futher. 7 | The deceased was neurly 70 years old, bat he was cut off in the midst of his use- fulness, for he was a man who would be doing something of value for the church, the commanity, or his family. He has been a consistent member of the Luther- Fe when Jane helped her up to take her to | the bed she saw that the child's throat | was Cut; and that she never saw it after she laid down on the bed. Jane on the coutrary said, that when she entered the room, Mary said to her | the child is born, and Lintend to kill it. Hand me that knife, pointing to one on the mantle shelf, or the moulding under the shelf. That she said to her, “Ou, no, don’t do that!” and Mary said “Tinust do | It to save my own lile—if papa comes | home and finds it here he will Kill both! me and Scort.” That when she saw Mary would kiil the child) she started out, and | Mary rose up and got the knife. That | she was called back a short time atter- again | ward and asked to take the qnilt out, which | Was quite bloody, and to wash up some Glood stains that was on the door. ‘That she removed the quilt Which was rolid inte a bundle, but did not know wherher the child was in the bundle or uot. ‘That she placed the quilt under the edge of the porch. Such is the testimony in snbstance of these two witnesses, stripped of unneces sary details. It leaves no room to doubt that the women were the active agents in this foul crime; and the only groand on which an intelligent and couscieutious | Jury culd acquit them was to reject the testimony ot both, in whieh event there | Was no sufficient evidence agaiust either, aud tu assiiue that they were only the agents of some one or more persons who under terrible threats to commit the bloody deed. ‘The father of Mary, stung by the shame of his daughter's blasted character; and Scott Rankin, the father of the child, dreading the consequences of his seduction of a White girl who stood fair in the commu- nity, Were pointed out by public opinion as the Individuals who dictated the course pursued by -he women. And these menu were under indictment as accessories to the crime, and were to answer al the pres- eut term. It was thought for a while that they would have to atone for an outraged law, aud it was contidently predicted on the streets that they would go to the pen- itentlary at the least. But meanwhile Judge Buxton was searching the law and authorities as to the effect of the verdict reudered in the case of Mary Poteet and Jane Raukin, and when the case against John Poteet and Scott Rankin as accesso- ries was called, to wit: on the same day, anuounced that he was compelled to or- der a nol. pros. in their case, and the whole party marched out of the Court House in the face of the sun, and return- ed to cheir homes unscathed. His Honor'’s decision was based ou the arguinent that accessuries could not be guilty of a crime of which the principals were declared in- nocent, which we suppose is good law, tho’ it must be admitted that the law is strangely at fault when such crimes may be committed and the guilty oues escape the penalties due them. ci DECORATION Day.—Sacurday last was observed here by the Republicans (near- ly ail vegroes) in decorating the graves of the dead suldiers buried in the Federal cemetery. ‘Train loads came in from all directions, and the negroes of the county turned out in full foree.

Editor Watchnein.—Ow earth has com- pleted another annual revolution, May, the month of flowers, picnics, weddings and school exhibitions, etce., has come and al- Most vone, leaving a catalogue replete with events that wiil be refered to in after years as one of the most successtul school years since the * late unpleasantness.” Of the many exhibitions occurring during the month, none have been more interesting, entertain- ing and successful than that at Yadkin Min- eral Springs Justitute, which came off Fri- dav, May 28th. Long before the hour set apart fer opening the exercises, every nook and corner of the spacious grounds, was lit- erally blockaded with buggies, carriages, two horse wagons, etc , loaded with human treight and ample supply of “grub.” Ample arrangements had been made to accomodate the usual! coucourse, with brush harbor seats ete. At the ringing of the bell the immense throng assembled at the harbor, but it was soon fuund that many were doomed to stand in the broiling sun or retire to more cowtortable quarters, However, umbrellas, parasols etc., Were brouzht into rcquisition and all were svon quiet, Printed copies of the programme were distributed by themar- shals and the exercises opeve.Lby singing “We'll Praise Hin Forever,” by the stu- dents, prayer by tne Rev. Mr. Pepper, over- ture by the Concord Cornet Band. The sjudents were divided into eleven classes, each class numbering from three to tive students. The exercises consisted of Ora- tions, Recitations and Essays. As tach class retired the band played an) appropri- ate picce of music. Seven classes appeared on the rostrum and acted well their parts. The bell rang and a recess of an hour was given tor dinner, which was bountifully sup- plied by the citizens and patrons of the school, After dinner all that woutd, cooled down themselves and friends with ice cold lemonade, Ata given signal all repaired to the harbor and the exercises were resum- ed. be four remaining ciasses then per- formed their parts. The hterary address was read by Elias Hurley, Esg., of Mont- gomery eounty. It was short, well written and read ia his usual happy style. came the closing scene —the long metre dox- ology by the band an] studvnts—the bene- diction by the Rev. Mr. Carpenter.

G. Me. ——— ere Flaggtown Letter. May 30, 1830. Editor Wateliman: Tom Marks has gone ! and it is actually singular how many pleasarable recollec- tions of this dear tellow come over me as L thing of him only in some brighter aad fairer clime, arrayed ip the fhabiliments’ of wrighteous youth. Now, 1 hope: that hone of your readers will think I mean he has ‘passed over the river” to “rest an- der the shade,” or gone to that bourne from whence no traveler returas, or shaft: ; fle off this mortal coil, as Shakespeare has it—but ‘Tom Marks has gone—has left us, perchance forever, ‘Tow was a right ray- al, good tellow, generous, kind-pearted, wnd true; but with all this fom had his failings, bis quecr ways, his boyish prat- the, aud a remarkable lack of downright sinecrity and commendable stability. “And this feather-weighted gent he— Toough not over ope and twenty, Had of knowledge quite a plenty, So to speak ; Aud he'd rather be a prancing Aud kicking at a dancing, ‘That: bis stock of wit eanancing Leatuing Greek.” It wasu’t a very great many years age that Tom, baving attained unto man’s es tate, took unto himself a beaatifid yo: ng givl just in her teeos, and some have said deserving of a richer prize, However this may be the contract that dear Tomi) and sweet Barbara swore up and down, horizontally avd most every other way to carry out *fso help me God,” was broken.

I Oe eee Judge Fouwle vs. Gov, Jarvis. Editor Watchman. The article written for the “Farmer and Mechanic” and reproduced in the Salisbury Democrut of Muy 21st, must mpress him who cares only tor the general well being of more individually partial and fess public spirited, than pure devotion to the general, impersonal welfare of the State warrants. The writer subjects our well proved model Governor to direct and -oblique. detraction ov the one hand, while on the other his ex- travagant eulogy of Judge Fowle makes that aspirant a ‘wizird in eloquence—a veritable demi-god. It is almost incenceivable, that he, who indulged in such exaggeraced hero- worship, especially when this bancombe address strongly suggests. the sibility that Judve Fowle will only use his “electri- tying eloquence” which. “converts the ploughman and the artisan inte patriot heroes,” to promote his own elevation; just as the traditional donkey is induced to draw his load by nosing »fter a Lundie of todder. used to serve his own personal ainbition only, and not, otherwise, for the advancement of the democratic party? I hope his over en- thusiastic eulogist is {mpliedly unjust to- wards bim. , i He moreover, very injudiciously, sneers at the fine soldierly record of Gov. Jarvis, and, | per ev.tra, exaits Judge Fowle because he ihas noue, in these words: “Lis (Judge Fowle's( talents are essentially civic, and if; a general is to be chosen this year, we with- draw our.-claims.” ; The 31st was the only N.

We have frequently been applied to for our nbdtions about the right ot coluties to instroct their delegates. Under our plan of organization, as we andergtand it, each county is entitled to cast a, cer- tain number of votes in the State cop-. vention. For the purpose of énsting that vote the coanty sends delegates. As loug as those delegates agree how the vote of the eouuty shall be cast, no questiph can arise for the cousideration of the St.te convention. , - Up to the present time, according to our information, no’ point has ever’ been }made in the convention rcqniring a de- cision whether a majorityiof the delegat(s from acounty shall cast the vote, or ot! « erwise. In other words, the unit rile hag never been affirmed or disallowed. The right of the couftics ‘to ‘instruct, while it may ‘not have’ always | been pdlitic, isa favorite right with the peo- ple. It would be hard indeed to say toa county thatsbe shoald notinstruct for ber favorite son. Yet no con: eation has prob- ably ever been heldtin which the counties have instructed tnt that some time or vtir- er the instructed delegates. liave diso ey - ed their instructions. The county in structs for A; after several ballots the | impossibility of securing A’s nomination becomes apparent, and the selection of B, who is very distasteful to that county, becomes imminent. ‘To avert that nomi- tion, the instructed. delegates use their diseretion, disobey their instructions and vote for C. The delegates, as far asthe State con- vention is concerned, can disregard their instractions at the outset or af any subseqnent period of the proceedings. They will. however, bave to.answer for their conduct morally, aud perhaps politi- cally, to their immediate constitnente, Instructions, then, are not legally bind jig. They: are morally and, politically | binding, and are not to be disobeyed un- tilench exigencies arise ag will justify'a departure from the eourse prescribed by the eounty convention. - As to the right of the county to instruct her delegates, there can be no question, . althongh the State convention hever has’ enforced it, and probably ‘never will.

The maiden looked Ups. ‘Mary! I have ninch to tell yoo— will-you listen to me awhile, only fur a moment !’ and he spoke fast and eagerly. *A moment only, you say—well, I suppuse I must,—but what a beauti- ful vatterfly’ is that. ‘Oh! the dear, sweet, tiny thing ; do, pray, try and catch it fur me.’ Ashton was stung to the heart. He had beén on the point of declaring his long cherished passion for Mary Derwentwater, and he felt that she knew not only the depth of his af- fection, but that the words trembling on his lips were au avowal of his love. Her light-heartedness at once changed the whole current of feelings. Often had he heard others say that his beautiful cousin was a coquette, and more than once had she trifled with his own feelings. He had hoped that her conduct was the result only of a momentary whim, but this last act displayed a confirmed heartless- ness of which an hour before he would not have deemed her capable. He sighed, and was silent. ‘Ob! dear, how ungallant you are,’ continued his cousin, ‘the beautiful creature will really escape, and I do so love butterflies.’ ‘It is gone.’ ‘So it is. I shall never forgive you. Don’t ask me to,’ said Mary affect- edly. ‘Then we part without it,’ said Henry carelessly. ‘I leave here to- morrow, and shall visit Europe before I retarn. It may be years—it may be forever that I shall be absent.’ ‘Why—Harry—you jest,’ said his compauvion, struggling to appear com- posed, although she felt how cold and pale her cheek had grown. ‘I never heard of this before. You are not in earnest,’ and she laid her soft white hand—that hand, whose touch made every nerve of Ashton thrill—on her lover’s arw, looking up iuto his face with her dark, and now melting eye. But the chord had been stretched un- til it had snapped, and her influence was goue. He balf averted his head, as he answered coldly,— ‘Ido not jest, especially with a friend.’ The tone, the emphasis, the man- ner, all stung the pride of Mary. She felt that his censure was just, and she Her hand fell from his arm, and emulating his own culdness, she said,— *Then I will not ask you to stay. Butas it is late, and you wil] have your preparations to make, I will not intrude on your time,’ and courtesy- ing, she withdrew. : ‘And this is the being in whom I had garnered up ajl my heart’s best affections,’ exclaimed Ashton, when he found himself alone. This the divinity I have adored with a fervor no mortal byusgm ever yet felt, and she could talk, heartlessly talk of the merest trifle, when she saw that my whole heart was bound up iu her. Ob! would we had never met. But my delusion is over. [ will fly. Mary! Mary! little did I dream that my love would meet such a return.’ Mary hurried to her chamber, and locking the dgor, she flung herself upon the bed, and burst into a flood of tears. How bitterly ghe reproach - ed herself that her monentary cuquet- ty had lost her the love of the only being for whom she cared. She did disguise from herself her affection; she coyld scarcely tell why she had yielded ty the injpulge of that fatal moment: hut she felt that she had Jost igretpievably the esteem and af- feptions of her cousin. She would have piven worlds to have recalled the last hour, Even now ghe might hy seeking him, and throwing herself at hig feet, perhaps, regain hig love. She rose to do go, But when her hand was on the lock she thought that he might spurn her. She hesitated. In another moment her pride had re- gained the magtery, - ‘No—I gannot—I dare not. He will farn away from me. He will degpise me. Ob! that I had \apyer, neyer paid those idle wards,’ and finging om nerself again ou the “bed, she swept Dg and bitterly, =< that evening at the papper “table, byt jn the eold and ~averted looks of- Ashton, she saw on; ly new cayses for pride, The eyen- ing passed off heavily. ‘Aa the time for retiring, .

Never, in his wildest dreams, had he imagined a counten- hers, and to her accordingly, he had given his heart, with a devotion which had become a part of his na- ture. But much as he adored his| cousin, he was not wholly blind to ber faults. He saw that she loved ad- miration, and he feared she was too much of a flirt. Yet his love had gone on increasing, and, he fancied, not with- out a return, Led on by his hopes, he had, during a temporary visit at his father’s house, 8 seized an opportunity to declare his passion, but how the half breathed avowal was checked, we will not recapitulate. Need we won- der at his sudden resolution to fly from her presence, and, by placing the ocean between them, to eradicate a passion fur one whom he now felt to be unworthy of him? Few men could be more energetic than Ashton. Jn less than a week, he had sailed for Europe. Ob! how Mary wept at his depar- ture! A thousand times she was on the point of writing to recall him, but her pride as often prevented the act. She hoped he might yet return. Surely—she said—he who had once loved her so deeply, and who must have known that his affection was re- turned, would not Jeave her forever. Hour after hour she would sit watch- ing the gate for his return, and hour after hour she experienced all the bitterness of disappoinment. When, at length, she read in the uewspaper that he had really sailed, ~ she gave one long, loud shriek, and fell sense- less to the floor. A fever, that ensued brought her to the very brink of tlie grave. Ashton went forth upon the world an altered, almost a misanthropic man. His hopes were withered , his first dream of loye had vanished ; he felt as if there was nothing for him to live for in this world. His mind became almost diseased. He loathed society, then he veered to the other extreme, and craved after excitement, He sought relief in travel. He cross- ed the stepp*s of Tartary—he tra- versed .the deserts of Arabia—he lived among the weird and ruined monuments of Egypt,—and for years he wandered, a stranger to civiliza- tion, seeking only one thing—to forget. He never inquired after America. His family were all dead, and he wished never to think of Mary. Like the fabled victim, in the olden legend he spent years in the vain search af- ter that Lethe whose waters are re- served for death alone. He found it not. And Mary, too was changed. She rose from that bed of sickness an al- tered being. Never had she known the full depth of her affection until the moment when she found herself deserted. The shock almost destroy- ed her, and though she recovered af- ter a long and weary sickness, it was to discard all her old habits, and to assume a quieter—yet, oh! how far more beautiful demeanor than in her days of unmitigated joy. She felt that Henry was lost to her forever, yet she derived a melancholy pleasure in liv- ing as though the eye of her absent lover was upon her, She directed her whole conduct so as to meet his ap- probation. Alas! he was far away ; she had not heard from him for years ; perhaps, too, he might be no more ; then why this constant reference of all she did to his standard of excel- lence? It was her deep abiding love which did it all. Fvuur years had passed when Ash- ton found himself again in America, and sitting, after dinner, with one of hig most intimate friends, at the table of the hotel. For some time the bottle pass in silence. At length his companion spoke. ‘Fou have not seen Mary = Der- wentwater yet—have you, Harry ?” Ashton gnswered calmly, with a forced effurt, in the nagative. “You mast not posjtitively delay it, Do you know how heautiful she has grown—far more beautiful than when you went away, although you thought me surpassingly lovely.’ He paused, I have not heard from the family for years,’ said Ashton at length, feeling that his companien expected gome reply. ed to be; her baal softer,, though | ance more surpassingly beautiful than, -heartlessly flung that affection from 3| visits.” fThep you know nothing of boos posh ys some of the almon dp—wbs, ladies were. Fising to go. Mary was ts man, ike - thus warmly, yout know, withos of having his. heart called in in.us. the bribe of his head. ‘And do you know that my wife suspects you of having worked the réformation ?’—Ashton started, and was almost thrown off his gnard—‘for it began immediately af- ter a long illness, that happened a few weeks after you sailed.” Ashton was completely bewildered. He now for the first time heard of Mary’s sickness. His eye wandered from that of his companion and he felt his cheek flushed in despite of himself. He covered his embarras- ment, however, by rising. His com- panion continued, ‘And now, Harry, let us stroll down Broadway, for to tell you the truth, I promised my wife to bring you home with me. Besides, Mary is there, and I’ve no doubt,” he contin- ed, jocularly, you are dying to meet her.’ Ashton could not answer; but he followed his friend into the street, conscious that Mary and he must meet, and feeling that the sooner it was done the better. His companion during their walk, ran on in his usu- al gay style, but Harry scarcely heard a word that was said. His thonghts were full of bis cousin. Had she in- deed become cold to all other men from Jove to himself? Strange and yet delicious thoughts whirled thro’ his mind, and he woke only from his abstraction on finding himself in Sea- courts drawing-room, and in the pres- ence of his cousin. Mary was on a visit to Mrs, Sea court and did not know of Ashton’s intended coming until a few minutes before he made his appearance. De- votedly as she loved her cousin, she would have given worlds to escape the interview ; but retreat was im pos- sible, without exposing the long treas- ured secret of her heart. herself accordingly, She nerved fur the meeting, and succeeded in assuming a suffi- ciently composed demeanor to greet her cousin without betraying her agi- tation. He exchanged the common compliments of the occasion with her and then took a seat by Mrs. Sea- court, who had been one of his old friends. Mary felt the negiect ; saw he did not love her. That night see wept bitter tears of anguish. ‘And yet I cannot blame him. no!’ she exclaimed, “it is all fault. He once loved me, she Oh my and I me I would give worlds now to win. But I must dry these tears; I must not betray myself. We shall meet daily, for he cannot help coming here, and to shorten my visit would lead to suspicions. I must therefure school myself to disguise the secret of my heart.’ Aud Ashton did come daily, and although his conversation was chiefly devoted to Mrs. Seacourt, he neither seemed to seek nor avuid his cousin Now and then he found himself deep in a conversation with her, and he thought of ald times. But the mem- ory of their last interview came across him at such moment like a blight. ‘How wonderfully Ashton has im- proved since his travels,’ said Mrs. Seacourt one morning, as she and Ma- ry sat tele-a-tele, sewing ; “and do you know,’ continued she, looking archly at her companion, “that I deem my self indebted to you for his charming Mary felt the blood mounting to her brow, and she stooped to pick out a stitch. -#Oh ! you are always jesting, Anne you know it is not so.” “We shall see. I pene. that this afternoon, when we yo to the ex- hibition, he will escort you, and leave Miss Thornbury to Seacourt’s neph- ew.” Mary’s heart beat so she could scarcely answer, but she manged to re- ply, Don’t, my dear Mrs. Seacourt, don’t tease one this way. You know, in- deed you kuow, Ashton cares nothing for me,” and she felt how great relief would have been a flood of tears, could she have indulged in them. Mrs. Seacourt smiled archly, and said no more.

At first both], were embarragsed ; bat each made an effurt, and they svon glided into con- versation on different subjects. What a relief it was to Mary that night, to think that she had been alone, as it were, with her cousin without being treated with neglect. From that day the visits of Ashton to Mrs. Seacourt’s increased in fre- queucy, yet there was nothing mark- ed in his attentions to Mary. In- deed, he still continued to converse chiefly with his friend’s wife, though he did not opealy avoid her guest. Mary grew more and more trembling- ly alive to his presence, and at times, when she would detect his eye bent ov her, half sadly, half abstractedly, her heart would flatter wildly, and a delicious hope would momentarily shoot across her mind; but soon to fade as quickly. One morning, Ashton entered the drawing-room, and found her alone. She was untangling a skein of silk. She arose, and said, baarasment, “Mrs, Seacourt is upstairs; I will ring for her.” “Not for the world, if she way engaged. ure.” with some em- is any I cau await her pleas- yw °y There was a silence of some min- utes. Mary could searcely breathe ; she knew not what to say. Her fin- gers refused to perform their duty, and her skein of silk became more and more entangled. “Shall [help you ?” approaching her, said Ashton, “My patience used to be a proverb with you.” Mary could not trust herself to an- swer, for her fingers were actually She felt she floor, She proffered the silk without looking up. trembling with agitation, could have sunk into the Ashton took hold of one end while she retained the other.

She looked half doubtingly half timidly up. “Mary, we love each other—do we not 2?” There was no answer, but as he pressed the fingers lying passively in his grasp, the pressure was gently re- turved, and, bursting into tears, his cousin fell upon his bosom. Ashton and Mary have been wed- ded for years, but their honey-moon still continues, for they have not yet quarrelled. CHEERING NEWS! JUST RECEIVED JNO. H.

The following beautiful lines were written coNTRACT ADVERTISING RATES, and sealed upon the coffiin of Gen. Cleburne, just before burial, by a younz lady of Co- lumbia, Tennessee, near which place the re- inains of the gallant hero lie buried: “Fave the well, departed chieftain ! Erin’s land sends forth a wail ; And oh, my country sad laments thee, Passed to soar through death’s dark vale. Blow ye breezes softly on him, Fan his brow with gentle breath: Disturb ye not his peacetul slumber, Cleburne sleeps the sleep of death ! Rest thee, Cleburne, tears of sidness Flow from hearts thou’st nebly won; Memory ne'er will cease to cheerish Deeds of glory thou hast done !” ~~ Robert E. Lec. BY FATHER RYAN.

EXAMINER ITEMS. INDEPENDENTS. The Radicals say the connty will be full | of Independent candidates this year. And just here, we desire to ask, how do they kuow ? Have those who expect to run as Independents been prowling around seek- ing Radical support? Weare unable to | understand how they would know, uniess this has been thecase. We all kuow that no Independent can hope to be elected without the votes of the Radical party ; and it is very natural to suppose such are making, or have already made, applica- to» for that support. Now, no true democrat will run as an independent, and every ohe who has de- cided to do so, is out of his place in the Democratic party. He should lose no time in going over to the Radical party. There is where he properly belongs. He can do us no harm there; he may do us some while claiming to be a democrat. Our iwpression is that the people of Rowan will make it very warm for Inde- pendent candidates this year. They have been bamboozled in this way until they are heartily sick of the very name. They will at ouce place them where they be- long. No man, whatever bis standing heretofore, will be allowed to disorganize our party and beat its regularly chosen nominees under the false and treacherous name of Independent Democrat. Radi- calism under this guise has had-its day. The people will no longer tolerate it. We believe that Mr. Jarvis is, by all odds, the strongest man in the Democrat- ic party for Governor, and next to him, General Scales. They have the best re- cord, and are less vulnerable, than any of the prominent gentlemen mentioned for the place. Ee It is very natural that Mr. Fowle should have many warm friends who think him the most suitable candidate to head the Democrats to victory in the Gubernato- rial race; but should he receive the nom- ination, they will find out that he is much more vulnerable than they anticipated. eee Mr. J.

They dis- close that houses and land were then sold, leased, and mortgaged, that money was loaned at interest, and that the market gardeners, to use an American phrase, “worked shares,” that the farmer, when plowing with his oxen, beguiled his labor with short and homely songs, two of which bave been found, and connect this very remote civilization with the usages of to-day. TS OO oa Commencement at Statesville. on The Landmark says: The spacious hall was packed to hear what is by unanimous consent pronounced the best musical enter- tainment ever given in Statesville. The con- cert was opened iwth the grand coronation march, from *The Prophet,” piano § hands, with brass quintette. The audience were taken by storm from the beginning, and the captivating melodies followed in such rapid succession that there was no recovery, until the end, from the first delightful sensations. To follow the course of the programme, which was full and varied in the character of the selections, is not to be thought of here. The young ladies of the institution, in their instrumental and vocal performan- ces, evidenced the skillful and painstaking cultivation, which their musical gifts have received at the hands of Mrs. and Miss Kliff- niuller, at once doing credit to themselves and their accomplished instructors. Tothe usual features of such entertainments were added cornet, trombone and flute, played by Messrs. W. H. and E. B. Neave while the parts borne by Messrs. Woods, Baker and Young, on alto horn, baritone and tuba are not for a moment to be forgotton. Not one ofthe party whom Mrs. Kliffiuuller’s influ- ence brought from Salisbury for this occa- sion but deserved and has the hearty thanks of our appreciative people for the pleasure that he or she afforded, and the occasion of their visit to us will be marked in all our annals with a white stone. Where such uniformity of excellence marke the rendi- tion of an entire programme it seems ungra- cious to appear invidious, and yet if called upon to refer to any one selection conspicu- ous for its own beauty and for perfection of rendition, we should point to the fantasie from Verdi's “Rigoletto”—slide trombone and piano, Prof. and Mrs. W. H. Neave. They were warmly encored, as they well de- served, and another enthsiastic encore fol- lowed Prof. Neave and Miss Kliffmuller’s rendering of the Americau-Irish song over- ture, on trombone and piano. EE SO Made Fools and Born Fools. From the Oli City Derick. Did yer know that the Timpkins and I weren’t on good terms?” said Col.

The motion of the | than the subjection of “the noble animal,” man’s best friend, to the abomination of the waged against it, until it is no longer in use, | these views with a sincerity strengthened by countless and daily visible tortures, we esteem it as both a pleasure and a duty to repeat what Peter F. Alba, a prominent veterinary surgeon of Mobile, Ala., says on the subject: | “When the check-rein is drawn so as to | derange the natural incline of the head, it causses a stiffnes of the neck and a pressure of the cervical and dorsal vertebra, changes | the natural position of the windpipe, and interferes with free respiration. The neck being raised curves the vertebre of the back, making it hollow, which has the tendency to draw the hind legs forward under the body, or to thrust the body backward upon them. This deprives the horse of the pow- er of extending himself. Because, by chang- ing his natural carriage you cause a greater demand upon his strength for the resistance against natural motion, and the action will be dweiling and slow. The shoulders being inclined out of position throws the support off the front legs, und cramp the withers, which divides the free movement. of each leg, and impair the freedom and suppleness of his front action: for, as the front legs are kept stiff so is the spring diminished, whieh is the essence of free action, and in propor- tion as the weight on the front legs is inter- fered with by over extension in the front, so does contraction of the suspensory and lat- eral ligaments, the flexor muscles and back tendons, take place. This is the prolific cause of the knuckling over the pasterns and springing of the knees. Besides, as undue bearing is being brought on the lumbar vertebrae, serious strain is produced on the loins and rear parts, and a disorered state of these members is the consequence. Hence come lumbrago, vertigo, spinal meningitis, and other diseases of the spine.” NS gee Where the Islands and Sand Bars in the Mississippi River Come From. From a series of daily observations ex- tending from the early part of February to the latterfpart of October, 1879, taken at St. Charles, Mo., under the direction of officers of the Unlted States Engineer Corps, it has been ascertained that the average quantity of earthy matter car- ried in suspeusion pass that point by the Missouri River, between one foot of the bottom and the surface, amounts to 14,857 lb. per second, or 1,183,731,200 1b. each twenty-four hours. The matter thus carried along weighs, approximately, 100 lb. per cubic foot when dry, giving an av- erage of 12,837,312 cubic feet of earth transported each twenty-four hours du- ring the entire year, enough to cover one square mile with a depth cf nearly six inches. During the months of June and July, the average quantity per twenty-four hours amounted to 47,396,448 cubic feet, enongh to cover a square mile with a depth of one foot and eight inches. The maximum quantity observed for twenty- four hours was on July 3, when it reach- ed the enormous amount of 111,067,200 cubic feet sufficient to ¢over a square mile to a depth of four feet. These fig- ures do not take into account the materi- al that is held in suspension within the lowest foot of the deqth, or that which is being rolled along the bottom. If these quantities could be ascertained within any reasonable limit of approximation to correctuess, there is no donbt bat they would show an amount farin excess of that which has already been determined.— Missouri Republican. eee The Birth Rate in France.

Difficulties of temperature | or purity of water are scarcely factora in carp calture. Providing the water is not too cold, carp thrive rapidly. In fact, no : natural water has been found too warm. for them. Being vegetable feeders,. carp | thrive on the plants growing in the wa- ter, or may be given offal, like pigs, or _ boiled grain, like chickens. A large pond | may be dug on arable land, allowed to grow carp for two or three years, the fish | marketed, and the ground be brought an- der cultare again. The profitableness of carp culture is' shown by the following experience report- | ed in a California paper. A gentleman _in that State bought six carp in January, | _ 1876. One of them soon died. From the the other five he raised the first year 2,- 044 fish, and the year after 2,672. In 1878. he sold two of his old fish, and raised 4,000 from the remaining three. He had’ four shallow fish ponds, costing $50 each, | aud covering about half an acre of low ground comparatively worthless for oth- er uses. For his original fish he paid $30 and $10 for food stuff, making a total outlay of $240. In four years he sold 6,000 left, after supplying his own table with fish for eighteen months. There are thousands of small ponds throughout the country which might, with little tronble and large profit, be con- verted into carp ponds. A I AI The Presbyterians. Day’s Doing’s in Yesterday’s General Assembly. GHARLESTON, May 25.—In the Presbyterian General Assembly, to- day, a telegraphic salutation. was _re- ceived from the Northern General Assembly, and a cordial response was sent by telegraph to that Assembly, The new directory of worship was ordered to be printed and copies sent to every church and presbytery for criticism. On the subject of dismis- sion of office by the elders, the As- sembly decided that an elder cannot demit lis office except where he is unacceptable to the people. The As- sembly declined to revise the- list of delegates to the Presbyterian Alliance. _ CHALEsTon, S. C., May 26.—The Presbyterian General Assembly heard a loug discussion on the overture from the Synod of South Carolina as to the legal authority of the “in thesi” deliverance of the General Assembly and the general power of the Church Courts. The discussion came up on the report of the committee on over- tures reaffirming the action of the Louisville (Kentucky) Assembly on this subject in 1879. Dr. Girardeau opened with a two hour’s speech affirming the legal au- thority of the deliverances in ques- tion. Drs. Woodrow and Wilson will fol- low to-morrow in opposition. The report of the committee on Narrative was read and approved. The report of the committee on pub- lic work of the Church was also read. The debt of the publishing house at Richmond has been reduced to $10,- 000. ‘Three years ago it was $59,000. Dr. Hasen is retained as secretary and treasurer. The Assembly refused to take any action on the overture from the Ath- ens Presbytery on the subject of dan- cing and worldly amusements, the Church already having sufficient leg- islation on the subject. Rev. G. H. Rout, of Kentucky, was elected delegate to the General Synod of the Reformed Church, with Dr. Prior, of Virginia, as alternate. Pita—A New Fiser Praxt.—The American Consul at Vera Cruz has been calling attention to a new fiber plant, a species of cactus commonly called “pita,” which promises to add materially to the resources of Mexico. Someof the fibers ‘are sixteen feet long. The fiber is strong and silky, and capable of minute subdi- vision. Some months ago. a native of Vera Craz seut some of the fiber to Eng- land, where it was woven into handker- peasants is thirtyseven for thirty-fve families. What, asks the Gazette, is to; be the ultimate destiny of France if this de cline ot the population continues f chiefs, which was strong and very beag-! tifal, appearing more like silver tissue | than like linea. The plant grows wile} and there gre millions of acres of it, which you can support yourself, do it, and become an independent man. Salaries exhaust the energies of all men, and very often corrupt them. No greater calamity can befall « young man than to begin life ina public office. An easy clerkship, with a liberal salary, oftener injures than benefits the recipitent. As a rule, it unfits a young man for the rougher work of life, and by taking him away from the stimulating influ- ence of competition, prevents him from acquiring the mental and phys- ical fibre indispensable to success. An these coveted positions are all the more pernicious because they are so often merely temporary. It would not be so bad if the young man who begins life in a rut were permitted to stay there. But these easy clerkships have come to be recognized as re- wards for party.service rendered eith- er by the recipitents or by their friends and come and go with the rise and fall of parties. A dismissed clerk from a political offiee is about as piti- able an object as any one often meets with. During the two or four or six years he has been drawing a fair salary for little work, he has been forming hab- its which unfit him for stronger ‘service, and he is obliged to take up the thread of life where he dropped it to enter upon his coveted clerkship, with fewer friends, less ambition, and worse habits than when he left his original employment, where be had to work hard for little pay, to enter upon an official position where there was little to do and big pay for doing it. Whoever has any protracted expe- rience in political life can call up scores of young men whose early abil- ities inspired high hopes of useful- ness and success, but who would have sunk into obscurity, if not something worse, under the enervating influence of some petty office. Such a position may help him for a few years, but the chances are that it will spoil him for life. a A Remedy for Scarlet Fever. Dr. E. Woodruff, for nineteen years a practicing physician at Grand Rap- ids, Michigan, furnishes the Spring- field, (Ill.) Journal, the following: “Wash the child from head to foot with strong sal soda water, warm, then wipe dry. Then immediately bathe freely with oil from beef marrow or oil from butter, applied freely. Then give freely catnip tea, or some good sweating article, pennyroyal, ect. Re- peat every half hour, or as often as they get worrisome or wakeful, and in one or two days they will be en- tirely cured. I have been called to eases where they have been fully broke out, and in this way entirely cured them in twenty-four hours. I have had thirty caseson hand ata time, and never lost a case in my life. Bat now I am old and about to give up my business, and seeing from the papers that your town is infected with the epidemic I wish to doall the good I can. It isso simple. You do not need to calla doctor. A good nurse can attend tothem. If by open- ing the pores of the skin and sweat- ing you can let off the poison, which isan animalcula, or animal in the blood, the cure is complete. The same is equally good in fevers of all kinds, hard colds and coughs. I take the ground that all diseases are caused by a stodpage of the pores of skin, re- taining the poison, or living animals, lin the blood, and all you have to do at first is to open tha doors of the sys- tem and let them out, or drive them out. All people know a warm bath is good. But you apply the oil to the’ékin, and it keeps the pores open for a long time and gives the enemy a chance to get ont.

Changing One’s Faith. The reason why a great many peo- ple seem to be always changing their faith, is that they never really have any faith. They have indeed what they call faith, and are often very positive about it. They have gath- ered together a number of opinions and fancies, often very ill considered, which they say they believe, using tbedeep and sacred word for a very superficicl and frivulous action of their wills. They no more have a fuith than a vagrant has a home who sleeps apon a different door-step every night. And yet he does sleep-eome- where every night, and so these wan- derers among the creeds, at each given moment are believing something, al- though that something is forever al- tering. We do not properly believe what weonly think. A thousand speculations come into our heads and our minds dwell upon them, which are not, therefore to be put into our creed however possible they seem, Our creed, our credo, anything which we call by such a sacred name, is not what we have thought, but what our Lord has told us,—Canner. —_——_—~aa- A tragic termination to an amnsing ing incident was witnessed a few days ago at Massegros,in Italy. A man with a dancing bear arrived in the evening, and begged a lodging of a farmer for himself and his charge. The bear was accordingly turned in- to the pig-sty after the pig had been removed to another shelter. In the middle of the night three malefac- tors appeared on the scene, with the intention of stealing the farmer’s pig. The result can easily be imagined. The bear gave the mena warm re- ception promptly flooring the two who ventured into the sty before they discovered the substitution of thé ani- mals. The third rober was petrified with fright at the fate of his compan- ious, but managed to shout for help, and the farmer and bearkeeper were soon onthe spot. They found the first man quite dead, the secohd dan- gerously wounded, and it is believed that the adventure has destroyed the reason of the third.

They were glad to see third termism laid on the shelf; and recognizing Grant as the head of Imperialism, if there be such a party in the land, they were glad that the conservatism of the Repnb- lican party was strong enough to strangle it on the threshold. This was the prominent, intsant form of public sentiment. It remains to be seen what will be drawn out on the con- templation of Garfield as the champiou of the party to be beaten in November. Comparatively he is without personal force in the public mind, and the vote cast for him will be more truly the embo- diment of the Repablican strength in the country than it would have been for Graut or Sherman. b+ ie Gen. ScaLes’ position, as we learn it from his letters and telegrams, is that he is not a candidate for Governor and will diseountenance any effort to nominate him. But if the Convention should de- clare that he is the man to bear the Dem- ocratic flag through this summer's cam- paign, he will do it. That is precisely the attitude we like, that Jarvis and That is the atti- and very much = wish Fowle occupied it also. tude most pleasing to the people, who, as a general thing, can’t see that any one has superior claims up- on them. Those who have served them heretofore, served for a reward which they received, aud there should be an end of obligation on either side. Neither the man who reaps down a field to-day, nor he who ewploys him, ever think of any ob- ‘digation resting on either after the work ‘ isydgne and the wages paid. We actvert to this subject again as wor- thy of serious consideration in) view of the bickering we have had over Jafvis and Fowle.

The Repablican National Con- vention has just done for Grant, Sherman | and Blaine what our state Convention | may have to do for Jarvis and Fowle. There can be no doubt of the wisdom of this course, the Raleigh News to the con- trary, notwithstanding.

JAS. A. GARFIELD, The Republican candidate for President, has been in pubtic life for a number of years, though he is now only about 50 years of age. He commenced as a Methodist preach- er, then a lawyer, then a State Senator in Ohio, his native State; then a Colonel in the Union Army, where he was promoted to Brigader Gencral, Chief of Staff of the army of Cumberland; was promoted again to Major General, in 1863; and has been elect- ed to every Congress since that time. He was promoted to the U. 8. Senate last year. beating A, G. Thurman, whose term expires next March. Thurman is the eblest Demo- cratic Senator in Congress, and if he should get the Democratic nomination for Presi- dent which {s not unlikely, the contest be- tween him and Garfield will be transferred from the boundaries of Ohio to all the States of the Union. - Chester A. Arthur, nominated for Vice President, is a New Yorker, aged about 50 years. He ig-said to be a politician of con- siderable force, especially in his own State, the party bias of every township of which he knows. He was at one time collector ot the port of New York, but was removed by Grant, and hence, it is said, came the disa- agreement between Conkling and Grant. Arthur.is spoken of as Conkling’s contribu- tion to the republican ticket. _ Mr. Garfield has been one of the bitterest enemies to the South on record, never losing an opportunity to denounce us, or failing to improve one to signalize his hatred. In_the course of a speech at Dayton, Ohio, last October, he appealed to the memories of the “Hell of Andersonville,” and said in con- clusion: “I would clasp hands with those who fought against us, make them my breth- ren and forgive the past, only on one su- preme condition: That it be admitted in practice, acknowledged in theory * * * that the cause fur which they fought was, and forever will be, the cause of treason and wrong. Until this is acknowledged my hand shall never grasp any Rebel’s hand, across any chasm, however small.” ee eee ae oles Gus The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that a State may constitu- tionally pass a law requiringall “peddlers of sewing machines and selling by sam- ple” to pay a specified license. Such a statute had been passed by the Legisla- ture of Tennessee, and in accordance.with it a tax of $15 was imposed on the agent of the Howe Sewing Machine Company, which is a corporation of Connecticut, and makesits machines in that State. The company paid the tax under protest, and went to law to test the constitutionality of | the statute. The Supreme Court of Ten- vessee held that the tax was levied on all | peddlers of sewing machines alike, with- lout regard to the place where the ma- (ehines or their materials were made or produced, and that, therefore, the law was valid. The decision is sustained by the United States Supreme Court. ee Major C. Down, of Charlotte, won the nomination for Congress in the 6th Dist. Convention at Rockingham, yesterday. Dark horses are leading this year. They had an exciting race, and Major Dowd Our favor- ite, Johnsou, was the worst fagged nag on the turf. His training failed to bring him out. But he is all the happier for his defeat, or will be in afew days; tor oné day at home is better for the nerves than twoat Washington. SHACKLEFORD, anotherdark horse, beat the “choice” nags on the turf of the 3rd District. He is described as a regular swing cat, a little dried up, wry-necked fellow. We guess the people know what they are about. Sr We think the reason assigned in our last for suggesting the policy of dropping the two most prominent candidates for Governor (Jarvis and Fowle), were plain- ly presented and need not be defended. Norhas auything said by the Raleigh | News convineed us that we were wrong. Similar difficulties have often been re- move ib that way, and-it is about the.on- ly methed parties can resort to under the circumstances. So The tons of Paris green that were used by New Jersey and Long Island farmers in the destruction of potato bugs it was supposed would rid them of the pest for this season, But the bugs appear ip greater number thau ever before, and, to wake it more serious have adopted a new place of attack. They cluster around the vine before it has shown above the drill, and feed npon it antil the seed rots, In uncovering drills where the crop has been too long sprouting, hundreds of young bugs are found clustered around the ten- der stalks. ae They tell a stery about a man out West, who bad a hare-liv, upon which. he -per- formed an operation hiwself by inserting into the opening a piece of chichen-flesh, It adhered and filled the place admirably. This was all right until, in compliance with the fashion, he undertook to thise a mustache, when one ‘side gre thé other feathers. - bas The inventor of friction matehes has jast died at the good old age of 89.

A large part of the lives of our ancestors, of both sexes was spent in the active performance lof physical labors, necessary to make life endurable, which neverigive their descen- dants a serious thought.” All the iron plates, or nearly all, of an old stove designed for heating purposes, dated 1766, may be seen at the old Mich- ael Brown stone house in this vicinity, proving that stoves have been in usea long time. © ro re Says the New York Sun: “If Grant tries for the nomination at Chicago and fails to get it, then that will be a great triumph of principle, and we shall probably never hear anything more about a third term of the Presidency in our day. If Grant is nomina- ted at Chicago and defeated at the polls, then that will be a great triumph of real Republican principles. One of the two things, we believe, will happen. So let all patriots rejoice and be happy! The Sun wasa true prophet that time,and we rejoice with it on the triumph of Repub- lican principles. Col. Haynes of the Statesville American, has constantly predicted that Grant would not get the nomination, and is also entitled to be considered wise in the conclusions drawn from the signs of the timés in ad- vance. ee The Burke Blade says that Nath. Atkin- son, of Buncombe, will be an independent candidate for Congress in the 8th District. We trust that this isa mistake. We like Natt and do not wish to believe ill things of him. Let him study Maj. Robbin’s course in the 7th District two yearsago who would not be an independent candidate though strongly urged to be, and knew perfectly well that.he could win the prize. Let Natt wait awhile and he may also be taken up spontaneously when the proper time comes. He is yet a young man, with brightening prospects; but an “independent” race would dim them at once; and believing he is wise enough to see this, we must discredit the report. <p - - + Keyer'’s Corron Cror.—-London, June &—The monthly cotton circular states that Egypt cau hardly be expected to raise another monster crop, and so far the indications are quite the same way, the plant being very backward.

The Death Watch Ended--Grant’s Friends Stand Firm, but are Rat- tled on the 36th Round. CuicaGo, June 8.—The convention was called to order at 10:35. The chair ordered the roll call for the twenty-ninth ballot, and it was proceed- ed with. When Alabama was called and the vote was announced its correetness was questioned by a member of the dele- gation. The chair ordered the roll of delegates to be called. ‘Twenty-ninth Blaine, 279; Sherman, 116; Edmunds, 12: Washburne, 35; Widom, 7; Gar- field, 2. Then one of the delegates stated that his colleage was absent sick, and had au- thorized him to cast his vote for him, and he asked whether he could do so. To this the chairman replied: ‘The roll must not be ipterrupted, and that question wonld be decided when it arose.” The roll call went on and when the name of Alexander was ealled and re- sponded to the question was raised as to whether a response had been made by Alexander. It was admitted that it had not been. A second delegate from Ala- bama also failed to, respond, and then when the «delegates were caHed, the names of the alternates for the absent delegates were called. There was res- ponse, however, from only one of them. The chair stated as his mode\of exeen- ting the rule on the subject that in case of the failure of a delegate to respond the name of the alternate standing opposite on the roll would be called, and if he did net respond, then the names of the other alternates of .that class for that distriet would be called. The vote of Alabama was then announ- ced, Grant 15, Blaine 1, Sherman 3. ‘The result of the decision was to get Grant 1 vote. When Virginia was ealled the chair- man announced Grant 14, Blaine.J, Sher man I. A colored delegate challenged the vote. The roll was called in detail, when four responded for Sherman instead of 3, as previously announced. Carter, dele- gate at large, was absent, aud his alter- nate responded tor him. Subsequently the delegate had changed the vote back to Blaine which left Virginia recorded as originally.

Garfield refused the use of his name. In the 35th baHiot Indiana gave Garfield 27, Grant 1, Blaine.2. ‘The totals ef the 35th ballot as anveunced were: Grant, 313; Blaine, 257; Sherman, 99; Edmunds, 11; Washbuarne, 23; Garfield, 50. ‘There was the greatest excitement when the break was made for Gartield. The thirty-sixth ballot was called. Connecticut transfers 2 from Blaine and 9 from Washburne to Gartield ; Georgia transfers I from Sherman to Blaine, and 1 from Sherman to Garfield; Illinois gives Gartield 7, 40f them from Blaine and 3 from, Washbure; Indiana trans- fers 2 from Blaine to Gartield. Great excitement Was apparent in the Ohio delegation and the convention rese and cheered Gartield, as did the gallaries. The Indiana vote stands: Grant A Garfield 29. The Sherman aud Ohio men and New York and Grant men lead iv the applause for Gartield, kissing their hands tu each other iu mutual congratulation. Iowa tvilowed with 22 for Guartield. There wasa scene of great confusion which the officers of tle convention could not control fur a long time. Kansas crane - fers 3 from Sherman to Gartield ; Louiai- ana trausfers 8 Blaine and Sherman votes to Garfield; Maine gave Gartield 14; 6, Garfield 10. The vote of Maryland being disputed the roll was called in de- tail, resulting; Gartield 10; Graut 6; Massachusetts 4 for Grant, 22 for Garfield; Michigan gave 21 for Gartield. ‘The Grant nen generally stand by their colors.

Missouri was ealled in detail and resulted : Grant 20, Garticld 1. Nevada at first gave Gartield 6 but the announcement was charlenged and the call resulted: Gartield 3, Blaine 1, Grant 2. The Grant leaders were doing their best to hold their forces together, appa- reutly with the hope that Gartield could vot get amajerity. New Hampshire gave Garticld 10; New Jersey, Garfield 18; New York, Grant 50, Gartield 20; North Carolina, Grant 5, Gartield 15; Ohio, Gartield 43; Oregon, Gartield 6; Peun- sylvania, Grant 27; Garfield 21 ; Rhode Island, Gartield8 5 South Carolina, Grant 8, Garticld&; ‘Peunéssee, Grant 15, Blaine 1 Gartield 3; Texas, Grant 13, Gartield 3; Vermont, Garfield 10; Virginia, Grant, 4, Garfield 3; West Virginia, Garticla, 9, Grant 1; Wiscousin, Grant 2, Garticld 14, Which gave him 379, just a majority ot all. ‘The audience in the gallaries sprang to their feet as did also the great body of anti-Grant delegates on the floor, with enthusiastic cheers and for a few mo- ments there was a scene of wild excite- ment. The banners of Machasetts, Maine, California, Vermout, Michigan aud other | anti-Grant States, moved towards and surrounded the Ohio delegation. The military band in the hall strack up “Rally Around the Flag,” in which an immense audience joined. When order was restored Wisconsin corrected her vote to 18 for Garfield ; Arizona gave Garfield 2; District of Col- umbia, Garfield 2; New Mexico, Garfield 2; Utah, Gartield 2.

Mr. Logan pledged himself and_ his friends to sustain the nomination, and earestly believed that victory would crown their efforts.

If he really was Lieutenant Colonel of the 3lst Regiment at the time of its de- fection at White Hall, he was really but little to blame if any ; and merits sympa- thy more than censure. He was thena young man with, only (I presume) a purely civic education: he was subordi- nate to Col. Jordan, who had the prestige of being a pompous New Yorker, a gradu- ate of West Point, and the forenost gala day military maneuverer in the State. Indeed I, and all who knew bim, thought when the war broke out, that Jordan’s Regiment would be the model one and the pride of the State. My reference to the defection of the 8lst was not meant to stigmatize the men: they were rather to be pitied. A Regiment is just what its commander makes it. The steady effec- build up such colossal fortunes are as arule among the most valuable members of socie- ty. Their wealth, it should be remember. ed, is not hoarded, but in some form or another is in active circulation all the time. It is only the small rich men who retire from active business as soon as they have amassed respectable fortunes who can be regarded as drones. The millionaires as a rule are constantly engaged in some impor- tant enterprise of industrial development, which is of great practical benefit ‘to. the community at large, and in many cases their fortunes are subsequently devoted to the establishment of some great charity whose influence will remain forever as a monument were reserved after all, for the closing de- bate on the 18 anti-Grant contestants from Illinois. Matters were comparatively quiet during the speeches, although the speakers on each side spoke with more than usual power. But when Emory Storrs, of Chicago, the last of the four took his stand on the edge of the press platform and proceeded in his peculiarly eloquent style to laugh down the arguments of his Opponents, the .enthu- siasm increased each second, When, im- proving his advantage, and%in a voice that overcame the acoustic difficulties of the hall, he spoke of Blaine, and told the sup- porters of that gentleman to nominate him if they could, the tempest opened in good carnest with stirring-eheers and loud verbal was told that the honorable commissioner litical status of every officer in the service, | B and consequently he was asked what party he belonged to and who he ex pected to vote in the approaching clection, Having an- shortly afterwards received a notification of his discharge, notwithstanding he was con- fessedly one of the’ most efficient and relia-| P. ble officers in the service. stance, so fur as we have been able to learn, L Werevany of those who said they were or One Cowes AND ANOTHER Gors.—Mr. F.

From the Detroit Press. It is now over one hundred years since an American philosopher pro- pounded the query; Why is a wo- man afraid of acow?’ and yet no one hos ever succeeded in giving a satis- factory answer, There is once ina while 8 woman who doesn’t seem to have the slightest fear, even when passing a cow with one horn all twist- el out-of shape; but follow that wo- man home and you will find that she kicks the dog, cuffs the children, jaws her husband and knows how to sharp- ena buther-knife and use anaxe, The real woman has a mortal terror of cows, and the real cow seems to have an antipathy for her, Friday forenoon a lady was walking down Cass avenuo when she sudden- ly came upon a cow. The animal was feedin on the other side of the street and the boy sent ont to watch her sat under a shade tree and played ona mouth-organ, The lady halted. The cow looked up. “Lost anything, ma’am?”’ asked the boy as he removed the music from his mouth. . “J_I’m afraid of that cow!” she teplied. “What fur? Cows don’t bite nor kick, same as a hores. All they kin do is to run their horns through you and pin you to the ground.” “Ob | my-—she’s coming |” “No, she hain’t.

Same time ago, one of Arkansas” most widely-known statesmen, who is now dead, was passing along a street in Little Rock, when an old calared man who had once belonged to him, approached, with his hat off and passed a hand over his white wool, as heasked: ‘Marster, gin de ole man fifty cents.’ ‘Dan, you are a robber |’ ‘How ?’ asked the astonished dar- key, opening his eyes, around which roughshod age had walked. ‘Didn’t you see me put my hand into my pocket ?’ ‘Yes, sah.’ ‘Well, you old rascal, you rob me of the pleasure of giving you money without being asked.’ The old negro received one dollar. Bowing almost ta the ground, while tears came from his eyes, he replied : ‘Marster, wid such a heart as you hab,and wid Abraham, and Isaac, and de Lord on your side I don’t see what can keep you out of headen. RUBBISH. On the banks of the Thames, near London, are two large “dust yards.” Possibly we should not have known what a curiosity they are if a kind- hearted weman had not been touched by the dreariness of the place, and out of pity for the workers in their filthy drudgery begun a systematic effort in their behalf. For very small pay they work under contractors, and many, if nct most of them, are wo- men. Besides the coin—mostly small bits, although sovereigns and large bank notes are sometimes found amongst the rubbish, aud other things of great value which, through accident, have found their way into the dust heap— the workers in these yards have all the bits of wood and their daily por- tion of cinders for perquisities. The fine dust or “soil” makes a a valuable manure, the vegetable re- fuse or “ssoft core” is also sent tothe farmers for that purpose, brick-bats, broken crockery and such go towards filling up low places in the city, and the fine cinders go to the brick-yard. Then there are linen and cotton rags for the paper mill, and bottles and corks that go to do their work again, scraps of iron for ballast first re-pud- dling—do you know what that is ?— afterwards, across the sea, old shoes to be cobbled or made over into parts of others, and bones to be made into elegant fans. handles for knives and forks and tooth brushes, combs, chess men and paper knives. But the strangest of all are the use- ful things the chemist finds in this disgusting heap. He burns the bits of bones and with the result be re- fines sugar, or he gets from them the gelatine which is the principal part of the jelley which so many people enjoy; phosphorus for matches, smell- ing salts, blacking, stiffening to make the dress silks appear heavier, and a host of other things the chemist will bring out of the bones. He will make ink and potash salts from some of the old iron ; and from old tin-ware, tin, iron, ammonia, Prussian blue, stan- nate of sodium, steel, chloride of zinc and the cloride of iron. A big caldron filled with bojling woolen rags, pear- lash, horns, hoofs, blood, old iron and scraps of leather, produce the beau- tiful crystals of the Prussiate of po- tassa, so important in medicine and chemistry. Glue, also, is a product of the rubbish heap ; cork cuttings are used in making floor-cloths, and such portions of leather as have es- eaped other hands are turned into cement for iron tools. You might think all the heap was now exhausted ; but no, there are still left some things of value.

An English sparraw had by some means incurred the displeasure of a pair of red-breasted robitis; ‘nest- ed in atree near Rawson Hall. A fight took place between the sparrow and robirs on the rear of the roof of the Rawson Hall building. The spar- row foaght pluckily, until all ot once one of the robins flew off while the other kept up the fighting. The robin messenger soon returned with a piece of cord that was soon wound around the sparrow’s neck, and the end held in the bil] of one of the executioners. This done the sparrow was forced off the edge of the roof and briskly at- tacked by the other robin. Thus sijt- uated the sparrow was comparatively helpless and in ashort time hung sus- pended by the neck, dead. After hold- ing their victim and picking him un- til assured,he waa beyoud resurrec- tion, the victorius robins flew to their nest in the tree, singing merrily, as though glorying over their vanquished foe. —__-—-<>o—_—_—_ Dangerous Amusement, As out-door sports begin the girls are sure, this spring, to take their usual turn at rope jumping. Scarce- ly a season passes without several re- ports of girls dropping dead after some long continued effort, as in try- ing to skip the rope a thousand times; and even when not so carried to ex- cess the practice is decidedly hazard- ous. Dr. Peck of the Surgical Insti- tute at Indianapolis, pronounces it a prime cause of cripples among girls, Speaking of arecent operation in which the bones of both legs of a lit- tle girl had been removed owing to necrosis caused by rope jumping, Dr. Peck says that similar cases are of frequent occurrence, though the mis- chief more commonly shows itself in necrosis of the spine. Nota month passes but cases are brought to the institute to be treated fur injuries brought on by the continuous concus- sions upon the bones in this amuse- ment. He advises parents and teach- ers to prohibit the “pernicions pas- time” all times and under all circum- stances. cc 0 Poisonous CigaRerreEs. — Ciga- rette smoking is nowa fashionable hadit, and one which is increasing at an alarming rate among half-grown boys, and it is the opinion of well- known physicians that if this habit is not checked additions to our asylums will bein order. A_ physician, to satisfy himself that there was death in that form of tobacco, had a ciga- rette analyzed. The result was a startling one. The tobacco was found to be strongly impregnated with opium, while the wrapper, which was warranted to be rice paper, was prov- en to be the most ordinary quality of paper, whitened with arsenic, the two poisons combined being present in sufficient quantities to create in the smoker a habit of using opium without his being aware of it, and which craving can only be satisfied by an incessant consumption of ciga- rettes.— Franklin Repository. Wild Dogs in the West. For several years a pack of wild dogs have been known in the Yel- lowstone Valley. They are described as resemb!Ing a cross between a wolf and a spaniel. A more savage pack of wolf dogs are now reported in the wilds of Northwestern Nebraska. It is said that about two years ago two bull-dogs joined a band of wolves near the heard of the Birdwood, and have remained with them ever since. Within the past year a species of dog wolf, supposed to be the offspring of the escaped bull-dsgs, have been committing depredation in that sec- tion. They are said to possess the cunning of the wolf combined with the ferociousness and pluck of the bull-dog, and consequently much more to be dreaed than the common prarie wolf, and are far more bold and savage. The Deadwood Times says that they are becoming numerous and quite troublesome. , One of the best rules in conversa- tion is, never to say a thing which any of the company cao reasonably whish had been left unsaid.— Swift.

H. Marsh, Esq., Resolved: That we stncerely feel that in his death this community has lost a citizen of sterling worth and commeada ble enterprise, his family a kind aad provident bead, the church a wise and prudent officer, and this Board one of its most punctual, and useful and valued members, whose place will not be casily filled. Resolved: That we bear testimony to his unseltish devotion to daty, to és wis- dom and impartiality as one of the town’s commissioners, and to the pleasant, but sadly broken relations which have always subsisted between us. We tender to his bereaved family our beart-felt sy mpaties, and pray that He who promised té be “a father to the fatherless and the. Widow's God” may sustain, comfort and watch over them, Resolved: That these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, and copies be furvished to the family of our departed associate, and to the vewspapers of the town for publication.

J. A. Fisher's dwellieg. houge took fire from a fMtming plank kiln, which first caught, and contuining a large quanity of lumber, and being very near the dwelling, kept it continually set on fire. The hands were all at work in a ticld at some <listance, and it required the utmost cxertion on the part of Mr. Brown and an- other young man present to save the prop- erty frofa' destruction. Mr. Brown entirely exhausted himself on that occasion, and wes immediately taken sick with a pain in the head. The pain has since been a constant source of suffering, and on last Sunday became so scvere that he was forced to resort to morphine for _re- lief. The morphine seemed to have no effvct, and the pain was so excruciating that he became entirely deran While in this seat vcrdar morphine to the amount or 10 ns, Suddenly this powerful sareaett took effect upon him in oe over- whelming manner. Dr. A. J. Roseman was ealled in anit administered a strong emetic, Which relived him of the tremendous dose, and Mr. Brown was brought back from the very verge of the grave. It was a very nar- row escape. A few moments more would have placed him beyond the reach of earthly assistance. The pain, however, still continuing, Mr. Brown was examined by Dr. Whitehead, who pronounced it a case of Cerebral or local inflamation of the brain, caused by the overexertion heretofyre mentioned. This is a very dangerous affection, as an exposure to the sun is liable ‘o result in in- stant death. He will therefore, have to stay indvors for several months. Under this ex- perienced Physician’s judicious treatment he is at present dying very well. N. B. Never put plank kilns or other out fires too close to dwellings. Opiates are dangerous medicines and should Le administered only by a Physician. 8 2 Franklin Zephyrs. ae Juue 7th, the “Enumerator” worked up Frankliaville and its immediate surrownd- ings till boon, at which time we arrived at the residence of our enterprising friend, H. G. Miller, Esq., whose clever politeness we acknowledge with pleasure. We were struck with the great improvements recent- ly made, in the erection by Mr. Miller ofa splendid new dwelling house, and also, of another, just across the street, by Mr. W, A. Lentz. But time presses. Starting up the New Mocksville road, operating on one and the other side, we ar- rived at sundown at the house of Mr. H. C. Bost, the first in the “Pot Neek” region, Duriny the , doing pleasant family for the night. vast damage to cultivared lands. JUNE Stl:—Leaving our kind host, at an early hour, we struck a direct line for the Oid Mocksville road, working up the fami- lies wong ourreute, Crossing said-soad, uncle “Tice” standing in his yard, surround- ed by a regiment of stout, greasy looking freedinen, with their gleaming blades upon their shoulders, upon the point of starting to make an attack upon the golden grain in some of the flelds of that vast river bot- tom. Sending the “darkics” to work, we laid violent hands upon ‘Uncle Tice,” and took the enumeration of his farm, &c. There is land on this plantation, scarcely excelled in fertility by the best lands of Arkansas. Leaving this farm, we pursued a labyrin- thine course up into the farm of John C. Foard Esq., where we were again struck with the vastness and, amazing fertility of those river bottoms. Arriving at the mill about noon we par- took of the hospitality of Mr. T. T. Robison, Mr. Foard’s boss farmer and manager on this side of the river. Finishing up the work about the mill, we struck out for the residence of A. L. Hall. Esq., where we spent the night, having finished up the work along the ronte. JUNE 9th—Working till noon, we com- pleted the “Pot Neck” region. This, it will be recollected, is a small corner, severed from Unity and attached to Franklin. The enumeration of this “Pot Neck” reg- ion, shows a much greater population than we ever supposed it to contain, to wit: 29 families, embracing a total population ot 209 persons, The aggregate value of the farms (12 in number) in this region, is $25,800, on which was produced, in 1879, crops which were worth, at market rates, $9,310. The Foard & Lindsay Mills were valued at $8.000. They were reported as running on fall time the year round, and during the year 1879, the wheat and corn ground, was estimated to be worth at market rates, $15, 480. Consequently, the income, in toll (oac tenth) SSalt amount to $1.548. Besides this, the little village of South River has a flourishing store, embracing a stock of general merchandise, also, ag exten- sive tobacco factory, all owned by Mr. Jnp. C. Foard & Sons. ° During the enumerator'’s stay amongst them he found the people genial, hospitable, and ever ready to anewer the questions.

The origin of the phrase “eating crow” is appropriately revived im these @paven- tion days. An old farmer ov the Hud- son, below Albany, took summer board- ers .v eke out the profits of hie farm. He sold the best of his farm producte, how- ever, and often palmed off on his board- ers “store” articles Bought ata lower price. To their murmurs he replied: “I hiu eat anything, I kin eat a crow.” This remark was repeated so often that one of the gnests finally shot a crow and got the cook to prepare it for dinuer. Pear- ful, however, tuat the fariner might have stomach for sueh a dish, the bird was liberally seasoned while coolting with Scotch snuff. The farmer was father taken back when the dish was plaeed be- fore him, bat had tuo much pluck te give in beaten without a trial . and attacked the bird, with the remark ¢ “I kin do it.” At the sccond bite he repeated, “1 kin eat crow,” and, as he suddenly suspended the operation of cutting the third mouthful and began a fetreat toward the door, he added, “Lut dang ine if 1 hanker arter i itt” Death of Senator Bayard’s Father. James Asheton Bayard, the father of Phomas Bagar@,one of the present Benn- tors from Delaware, died at his home fa | Wilinington, Delaware, carly yesterday /morning. Deeeased was hinself furmer- ily a Senator from that State, aud was 'elected four separafé times. He was the ison of James Asheton Bayard, ove of the inost distingaighed statesmen of his time, aud his ancestors were Marylanders who at one time owned part of the Bohemia Manor, in Cevil county, in that State. The first of the American Bayards was Sanuel,a French Huguenot, whu came to this country in 1647, with a daughter and three sons, from whom all the Ameri- can Bayards are descended. James Ashe- ton, the venerable gentleman who has just died, was in the eights-first year of his age. He was firat elected to the Senate in 1850. He resigned when the civil war broke out, in indignation at the fron-clad oath, which, however, he took; was re- elected iv 1868, and again, to fill a vacan- cy, 1869, be and his son, Thomas F. Bay - ard, being clected the saine day and oc- | cupying contemporary seats in the Sen- ate. James A. Bayard wes a remarkable nan in many ways, stern in manper, yet of such commanding ability tbat bie con- stituents esteemed as mach as they fear- ed him. He had peculiarly great abilities asa lawyer, and setved on the Senate judiciary comnrittee. He wasa man of large frame, powerfal constitation and very absent-minded ways. During his third term in the Senage, having money to invest, he was offered some of. the Credit Mobelier stoek by Qakgs Ames, but refused to touch it, Lesanme he might in Bome way have to vote on matters con - nected with it in the Senate, As a lawyer James A. Bayard was perhaps the finest legul mind in bis native State. He badan in- Yellect of great depth and clearndaa, with - out many graces of oratory. He was an ‘orignal Democrat, haviag Bret rvu for Congress tw 1823 as a “Jagkgou wan.” Hie reports and angnments on eoustitu- tional questivas alwage had great weight and ate still cited es authority.aaBalt- more Sum. — —_—-—__ ~<4 > - —— fron 1x Bus Wage.

It walt not help as it was intended to do, his candidacy, but it seems to be expected to help the candidacy of Mr. Garficld. The statement exhibits the gross expenditures, the ordinary expenditures, and “the ex- penditurcs gfowing out of the war in all the various branches of the service either directly or iudirectly affected by the war.” Apparently, however, the Seere- tary has vot takeii inte account the indi- rect expenditures resalting from that or- iginal and peculiar device of the Repub- lican party for conducting the war smoothly and easily, to wit, the gpeen- back and the 5-20 boud. The statement while very perspicaous as to such minor aud irrelevant expenges as the cost of na- tional cemetenes and the litte, gives us no iuforniation as to the epormuds cost of exchange and the triple priees paid for everything becuuse depreciated paper was the enforced medium. The return for net ordinary expenditures, averaging by the statement only about $33,800,000 per annem, is just about half the figures given for this class of expenditures in the Secretary’s annual reports. It is note- worthy that, amoung the necessary expen- ses growing out of the war are included the price paid for Pord’s Theatre iu Washington, $88,000. Of course it is na- necessary to suggest that these immense expenditures were the making of the millionaires who have shown so much activity in keeping alive the war spirit even at this day. The grand totals are as follows; Gross expenditures, $6,796,792,509; ordinary expenditares, $609,549,124 ; expenditares growing out of the war, $6,187,243,386. The priucipal items of th: war expeu- ses ure the fullowing: Interest on the pablic debt, $1,764,256,198 ; pay of two and three year volunteers, $1,040,102,- 702 ; subsistence of the amny, $881,417,- 543 ; clothing of the army, $345,543,880; army travsportation, $336,793,885; pur- chases of horses, $126,672,423; other quartermaster, expenditures, (in round numbers), $320,000,000; army pensions, $4107, 429,193; bounties, (including addi- tional bounties under act of 1866), $140,- 231,473; and in round numbers the ful- lowing: Refunded to States fur war ex- penses, $41,000,000; purchases of amns fur volunteers and regulars, $76,000,000 ; orduanee supplies, $56,000,000; expen- sex of assessing and collecting ioternal revenue, 113,000,000 ; expenses of nation- al foans and currency, $51,523,000; pre- aniums, $59,733,000. ‘The war expenses for the naty (including about $74,500,000 for pay and $6,500,000 for vavy pensions) aggregate ubout $412,000,000. Among the other detailed items of expenditures growiug out of the war are $5,243,034 for national cemeteries, $8,546,155 fer sup- port of national home for disabled volun- teers, and $33,000 for the purchase of Ford’s Theatre, the sceue of President Lincoln's assaaination. 4 —--~a-_———_ Seuaterial Sword Measaring. @pecial to Balttmore Gun. Wasuinetoy, June 1!.—There was another measuring of swords in the Sen- ate to-day between Mr. Hill, of Georgia on one side, and Gens. Butler and Hamp- ton on the other. The former put on the finishing touches to his strong argument in favor of ousting Kellogg, and, in con- clusion, paid his respects tu the two South Carolina Senators, dwelling at length upouv Gen. Butler, whose attack npon Mr. Hill, his friends say, cnt two deep ever to be forgotten. Mr. Hill was severe but delicately so, and, though he indulged in the most scathing sarcasm and pro- voking ridicule, he reminded Gen. Butler that be (Mr Hil!) had exerted himself as much as any one else to secure his (Mr. Butler’s) admission to the Senate, and after intimating that Ms. Buticr’s title w a seat had Leen the subject of grave doubt in the eummittee, he said, with great vehemence, that little did he think, when he was working so hard to admit the Senator frun: Seuth Carolina, that the latter would ever lead off iu # crusade upon Louisiana to keep oat a better title than his own. Gen. Butler uettled at ghis and sabseqnently, when he took the floor, he absolved “Mr. Hill from all political aod personal obligations, and challenged him to offer a resolation to inguire into his rigbt toa seat. Le beeame very dra- matic at this stage, avd, iy au outbupst of elogneves that surprised his friends, he declared that the annouucement of the Senator from Georgia that he had voted to admit aSenator on a questionndle title, either for personal or political reas- ons, did not increase bis trvapect for that Genator’s character.

It is not believed ‘that the party can be rallied for State officers or members of Congress. The election will probably go by defsult.. The resentzhent againet the false position of the Republicans of the State, set forth by the votes of the dele- gation at Chicago, is at white heat, and cannot be allayed. The attitude of the Republicans when the news of the nomi- nation came, was as if news bad been re- ceived of some great and appalling public calamity. Nota cheer was heard. The crowd which surrounded the telegraph office for two days dispersed as from a plague-stricken epot. Denunciations were loud, and declarations that they will nvt support him were freely indalgod in by the Republicans present. Any other man mentioned would have been more acceptable than Garfield. He is regarded as the lineal descen@ant of Hayes and John Sherman, and North Carolinian Re- publicans have had enongh of both. a Grant in 1884. Col. A. K. MeClure, of the Philadelphia Times, telegraphs to his paper from Chi- cago, June 9th, as follows : “Gen. Grant quietly stepped into the Palmer House at 10 o'clock this morning and I never saw him look more gentle or composed. He came unheralded, at least to the multitude, and witnessed with complacency the profuse floral and bunt- ing of the Palmer rotunda and lobbies, which nomination. He chatted pleasantly in passing his acquaintances, walked lets- doors closed against all when he entered. In half an bour he walked out in the same unostentatious manner, and the faces of Cameron, Logan and Storrs were visible as the lieutenants with whom he ed in that brief council of war will prob- ably never be knew to the public, but after Grant had hurried off to the Mil- waukec train both Cameron and Logan siid publicly that Grant wonld be nomi- nated without opposition in 1884. I has- ard little in saying that the confident ex- pectation of Grant and his leaders is that Garfield will be beaten in 1830, and that one term of Democratic rule, under the inspiration of the Confederate brigadiers, will make the Republican party shout a spontaneous call for the return of its old commander, and that the country will elect him by the largest popular najority ever given toavy President since Monroe. Graut is repulsed not defeated; and he no more doubts his election to the presi- dency, if he lives, than he donbted his conquest of Richmond when his lines re- eoiled in bloody confusion from Cold Harbor.

There must be no shuffling, no timeserving, no trim- ming; white men must stand square to the issue and vote down the thieves and unworthy rulers. They cannot afford to parley with those who have robbed and wronged them.

Have the people of North Carolina forgotten the tyranny of military rule by the satraps of Radicalism ? Have they forgotten the Canby reign, and the disfranchisement of thousands of our best citizens? Have they forgotten the swarm of carpet-bag interlopers, sent outand sustained in their robberies by the Radical party?

A prominent member of the Missouri delegation to Ciucinnati: said to-night that under no cirenstauces whatever would his delegation vote for Mr. Tilden vor would they allow him to dictate or even suggest who should be nominated at Cincinnati. There are several Tilden men in the delegation, but they will prove a helpless minority. A gentleman who has intimate relations with Senator Bayard says that the Jatter’s strength has never been properly estimated. He counts on the first call upon receiving 165 votes, reports that the Democrats in) Washing- ten are highly pleased with the status of affairs since the Chicago convention, and all agree that the ouly thing needed to put our suceess in the coming eontest.be- yond question is the selection ef a good name, one of two now prominently men- tioned in connection with the office, to head the ticket.

We must still expect the usual storms, waves of heat, and auroral displays that follow the maximum of sun spots; we have yet to learn whether the coincident peribella of the four great planets will increase and prolong the ele- mental warfare. This is one of the most interesting problems of the day, as well as oue of the most practieal and impor- tant.

And stick he did.’ He cut wood about for citizens and finally all the professors gave him the contract to cut up their winter wood. Professor Royall was in the Chapel one morning and heard a terrible racket outside, like a cannon touch- ed off, and it was Davis who had finished all of a pile of wood exceptsome great knot- ty sticks that he split by boring holes and ramming in powder. He cut six Hundred and odd dollars out of wood during his'térm and graduated only twenty-five dollars in debt for the whole five years. He learned to sing and taught singing school ‘in ‘the country during his spare Saturdays. That made him some money. He gradtdted with honor, and the subject of bis commencement speech was “Hew to the line let the chips fall where they may.” He has got his axe with him and intends to lay it away in’ his study, label it: “With this I cut my way through.’ Tle has already been offerred 9 Professorship in some college.

The improv- ed instrument consists of a wooden box, fastened against the wall, and having the double speaking tube attached to its under surface. The person who wishes to use the telephone places one or both tubes a few inches from thé @ars atid receives the voice of the speaker at the other end of the line so full and distinctly that inveluntarily he starts, looks around to see if the voice does not come from behind him. No effort is required in listening, and the internal mech- anism of the instrument is simple and not easily deranged. It can be used with or without batteriies, but the best effects are obtained with one or two of La. Blanche’s cells. These improved telephones insure the general adoption of the system here. —_—_—__~p Raleigh Obsercer: We have all heard of the Georgia “dirt eaters,” and of the negroes in some of the eastern counties of this State who eat clay. But is not generally known that there are many dozens of negroes in this city who are habitual eatcrsof dirt. Inthe rear of Lovejoy’s grove runs a deep ditch, whose sides are a whitish earth, among which are found small gravel and lumps of hard clay. Every day negro women and children may be seen in this ditéh, pickiag out the clayey lumps and deveuring them. They also eat the white earth which is of the kind used for cleaning hearths, but do not appear to be so fond of it. Very often of these queer eaters will swallow from a quarter to a half pound of the dirt— Strange to say, it is said by those who thus eat it that the dirt produces no bad effect. ee When the excellent Dr. Robinson, an American Baptist minister and scholar, was in Germany, be attended a reception at which many leadicg theologians were present, to whom bis doctrine of conscions conversion and the inward witness of the Spirit was a vovelty.

You know I haven't been out of the room since I came home last night and toolt it off; and Mr. Spoopendyke sailed down stairs and raked the fire out of the kitchen range, but didn’t find the button. “Maybe you lost it on the way home,” suggested Mrs. Spoopendyke, as her husband came up, hot and angry, and began te pull a stuffed canary to pieces, to sce if the but. ton had gotten inside. “Oh, yes! very likely! I stood up against a tree and lost it. Then I hid behind a fence so I wouldn't see it. That’s the way it'waé. If I only had your head, Mrs. Spoopéendyke, T’'d turn loose as a razor strop. ‘I’ don't know anything sharper than you are;” and Mr. Spoopendyke clutched a handful of dust off the top of the wardrobe. “It must have fallen out,” mused Mrs, Spoopendyke. . “Oh! it must, eh! It must have fallen out! Well, I declare, I never thought of that. My impression was that it took-a buggy and drove out, or a balloon and heist- edout,’ and Mr. Spoopendyke crawled'behind the bureau and commenced tearing up ‘the carpet. “And if it fell out, it must be somewhere near where he left hisshirt. Now he slwajs throws his shirt on the lounge and the but- ton is nnder that.” A moment’s search soon established the infallibility of Mrs. Spoopendy ke’s logic. “Oh, yes! Found it, did you?” pant- ed Mr. Spoopendyké, as he bumped his head against the bureau, and finally climbed td a perpendicular. “Perhaps you'll fix my shirts so that it won't fall out any more, and may. be you'll have sense enough to mend that lounge, now it has made so much trouble.

The whole number of delegates is 738 —each delegate, however, is entitled only to half a vote, twe couuting for one; the number of act- ual votes therefore will be 369, and of this number two thirds, or 246— will be neces- sary to fora choice. In many circles it is believed, and some news-papers have given support to the belief, that two-thirds of: the 728 delegates will be necessury. But the facts are as we state them. j er OO SAM’L J. TILDEN AND JUDGE SEY- , MOUR. —_—_— Mr. TinpeN haa written an able letter addressed to the delegates of New York to the Democratic National Convention, declining a nomination for the Presidency. The New York delegates have accepted the withdrawal, and thus it may be fair- ly considered that Mr. Tilden’s name will not be presented to the Convention. Mr. Seysour has written a letter toa Nebraska delegate, iv which he says he is “thinking more of his wife and children than of the Presidency, and that if it comes to a choice between his funeral and the nomination he would prefer the for- mer.” Mr. Tilden writes at some length, brief- ly reviewing the history of his election in 1876 and the manner in which the people were defrauded of their fairly won victory. He says he is not responsible for that fraud, and bad nothing to do in getting up the electoral commission. The old man’s heart’ is with the Demoeracy of the country. He retires as one declin- ing to be elected the second time, and hopes the Democratic wasses will stand _ firmly together on the principles voted * for in 1876. — Phe National Democratic Convention was » promptly on hand at Cincinnati Tuesday, ‘and was temporarily organized at 12.30, by ealling to the chair, the Hon. Geo. Hoadly, of Ohio; Hon. I. 0. Prince, of Masschusetts, Secretary; and several assistant secataries, ~eweading clerks, &c. Our fellow townsman, John §, Henderson. was on the Committee of Permanent Organization. There wasa reat deal of excitement. No decided in- ication as to the ticket. The Tilden men seem to regard his Icttcr not as a renyncia- tion, but as an assurance of acceptance auld he be the nominee. Ohio is nearly evenly divided between Payne and Thur. mgn,and the delegation organized by elect- ,¢dng all Payne,men, by one majority.” The speech of Mr. Hoadley on taking the shair, was a ringing adilress that elicited much applause. He took the ground “that delegates here were representatives of inde- structaL!e States.’ Their duty here was sinsply to declare the party will. The men- tion of Tilden’s naine in connection-with the ’* glectiqn of 1876, elicited prolonged cheer. ing. Phe chairman sgid be was as certain- ‘hy elected as was Washington or Monroe, and * -denoarced the republican party forcheating thie pedple out of their-choice, thus proving “their infidelity to Republican ‘principles.

No election was mede, but it will be ob- served that Hancock and Bayard are in the: lead. The Convention adjourned until to- day, when the nomination will doubtless be made. P.S. Just before going to press to-day at 14 o’clock, the telegraph presented the announcement that Gen. Hancock was nominated on the third ballot. ——— $$$ a Gen. Garfield was serenaded at his hote: in Washington on the evening of the 16th, and was introduced to a large collection of people who participated in ceremonies of welcome and “hail to the chief.” We will do the republican nominee the justice to say, that he made a sensible and patriotic ad- dress. And we do this with the more plea- sure because of the distinct recognition he took occasion to make of the American peo- ple as the only political soverignty known tothem. The credit of this return to great first principles is due to the strength and attitude of the Democratic party. Grantism and Imperalism is melting away beneath the scorching beams of Democratic resentment, and the leaders of the centralizing “strong government” idea see that it will not do, but that they must return to ancient and long established principles if they would stand any chance for popular preferment. Mr. Garfield comes up to the mark in his Washington speech, and acknowledges the people as the great power in the country, and to that extent he did well. —— pa ——_—_—— There was a terrible fire at Titusville, Pa., on Saturday week, in the petroelum region. A tank holding 20,000 barrels of oil was struck by lightning and set on fire. It ex- ploded, and the oil poured out in a vast sheet of flame. It soon struck another tank of 30,000 barrels, which added to the seeth- ing, flaming torrent as it swept on down the steep hillsides, striking and firing other tanks in its course to Oil creek. The creek proved to be no obstruction, The flame swept across it and fired other tanks and buildings beyond, and down it,until it reach- ed Titusville proper. In a reyion like this, crowded with inflamable material the scene was terrific, the flames mounting to several hundred feet in height. Loss estimated at $900 000. No lives lost. oo or There have been three bloody transac- tions in Lancaster county, 8S. C., within a week. The most importupt one occur- red between W. H. Burnett and Thomas Vinson. They met in the public road, and Burnett charged Vinson with having made threats againsthim. Vinson denied it, and they parted. But as Vinson re- turned by the house of Burnett, Mr, B. attacked him again, saying, ‘“‘we must have it out.” Vinson seeing Burnett in the act of drawing a pistol, fired on him with an old shot-gun and killed him in- stantly. —--2- THE Army Worm is destroying crops near Fredrick, West Virginia.

Strange as it may seem, na one has ever penetrated to the locality to verify the source from which the smoke rises. The fact that such a mystery should remain ungolyed in the midst ot such a go-ahead peopje as ours, is the strangest of all. Satem Acapemy.—Hon Kemp P.

If the Democrats of the country are not satified with the result of the Chicago Convention they are very hard to please. The nominations at Chicago do not indeed justify the Democrats in expecting to win with the tainted candidate of a divided party. But they do amply justify the Dem- ocrats in expecting to win with a real rep- resentative of the principles of the Demo- cratic party, upon which this nation was prosperously governed through three-quar- ters of its exis.ence, and upon which, in substance peace has been re-established since the close of the great civil war.—W. Y. World, The Republicans cannot boast of a har- monious Convention at Chicago. The rival factions have been bitter and fierce towards each other, and scars of the battle will re- inain for a long time to weaken and jeop- ardize the supremacy of Radicalism. ‘There may be a guasi support of the nominee by all of the leaders, but itmay be put downas reasonable sure that many of the dcfeated men are not going to give themselves a great deal of trouble about carrying the election. It may hurt them to be beaten, but still they would take such pleasure in telling the winning men, after their candi- dates is defeated, “I told you so.”—Ander- son Intelligencer. ne - What the Democrats Have Done. The New York Jerald is constrained to confess that “like every session since the Democrats returned to the control of the House, this one is notable for the absence of jobbery. The lobby has been starved out in Washington under the economical and sometimes parsimonious management of the Democrats. The subsidy schemers no long- er give dinners to Congressmen, and find it waste of time to buttonhole members. The Democratic tendency to careful appropria- tions is sometimes carried to extremes, but itis welcome to the country, and it is a very ureat change from the laxity about public expenditures and the readiness to grant the public property for private uses which char- acterized the Republican rule, and which occasioned a good many scandals in those days which are now coming home to the paity leaders in ¢ very unwelcome and em- barrassing way.” To this testimony may be added this statement from the Philadel- phia Times, an equally independent source ; “To the Democratic Congress belongs the credit of having broken up and dispersed the lobby, the third house that had become more powerful than the other two, and of having brought Congress back to those wholesome restraints which confine it to the business that properly belongs to it.” The country is beginning to see the necessity of a Democratic administration in all the de- partwents in Washington, and is preparing to provide for it in an unmistakable manner. —____-<>> The passage of Mr. Bayard’s marshals’ bill through the House was the occasion of one of the liveliest ecenes of the ses. sion. Sunset Cox worried Robeson, Kel- ly Conger and others to his heart’s con- tent. He had Gartield’s speech, support- ing the priuciple of the bill, read by the clerk, and twitted the Republicans with going back on their presidential candidate. Referriug to the remarks of Mr. Hawley derogatory to the Democrats, he said : This side of the House has been pru- dent, just and patriotic, brigadiers and all, from the time that it veted for reso- lutions (which. seventeen. Republicans voted against) declaring against the right of secession, Gentlemen on this side of the House don’t vindicate secession, not even the seeession which you Republicans make to-day from your candidate Mr. Garfield.

Beginning on Monday with the ar- rival of the Executive committee, the crowd swelled until Thussday, when it is estima- ted that fully two thousand visitors were on the yround. The public exercises opened with a learned and interestins address on Wednesday morning, by Rev. Wim. E. Bogys, D. D. of Atlanta Ga. The learned speaker discussed the su;posed an: azonism between Chr.stia:iiy and the teachings of Science, conclusively showing that the Bible rightly interpreted was in perlect accord with true science. In the afternoon the Rev. Wm. 8S. Lacy delivered an interesting, spicy and touching address before the Alumni associa- tion, in which he showed the influence of Davidson College upon the country through her alumni, Sketches were given of a num- ber who have graced the highest positions | of honor and trust, or who fell on the battle tield during the late war. Few of the grad- uates present ever knew before how long was the roll of the distinguished sons of their beloved Alma Mater. Wednesday evening was occupied by the representatives of the Literary Societies. Six addresses were delivered, and to the most. finished oration of the six was to be awarded the “Fowle Medal for Oratory.” Few were dis- appointed and many delighted when on ihursday that prize was awarded to Herbert W.

Report oF A COMMITTEE ON THE STATE OF Davipson, CoLLEGE, JUNE 16, 1880. From a careful examination of the papers submitted to them, your committce are per- suaded that this Board have reason to be thankful to God for the large measure of prosperity which He has vouehedsaie to this | Institution. The increased number of its students, their marked diligence in study | during the past year, the large number of candidates for the ministry gathered within its walls, the high tone of morals prevalent gencrally among the young men who resort to this fountain of learning, and the flatter- ing attestations to the scholarship displayed among them from distinguished Professors of Princeton College, the: University of Vir- ginia, and Vanderbilt University. (who de- cided upon the merits of the various papers competing for the prizes)—all these circum- stances, together with the healthful condi- tion of its finances, stump the present asa very flourishing period in the history of | Davidson College. And we should add, as anothe. feature of this Institution, which ought to encourage its friends to stand by it, tha’ it is giving every vear a large amount of gratuitous instruction to indigent worthy young men. : during the past vear have paid) no tuition, sons, besides nineteen candidates for the ainristry. Having referred to the condition of the finances as healthful, we may properly par- ticularize, and state that there has been both an increase of income and a decrease of debt during the past year, and that the general result is that our assets are both enlarzed in their bulk and improved in their character. This reflects honor on the skill and faithful- ness of our Treasurer and our finance com- mittee. ° The collections from interest and bank dividends are this year $3,026.74 more than they were last year. The inerease in this particular is due, in part, to the collection of | overdue coupons, belonging te previous years. Thedebtsof the college are this year $512 less than they were last year. The in- come which is reasonably counted on, and expected for the year to come. exceeds our anticipated expenses. The whole debt rest- ing upon the college is only $1.812.00. and we think there is good reason to hope it will all be lifted in the course of the next two years. And then there is an increase of available assets to the amount of $2,360.00. These stand now at the figure of $88,500 00, while the real estate is estimated to Le worth not less than the sum of $150,0u0. 1 Ayn These statements we think, should great-| 1 hear many murmurs and complaints of | ference for Representative. ly cheer the hearts of all the friends of Da- vidson, (signed,) Jxo.

A great many young men of the present day, seein to be scrupulous and somewhat averse to entering the connubial state, un- sessor of a liberal amount of money, land or other property.

And when you take to vour arms some love- ly being with a view of devoting your life to ease and comfort by using her property as a means of your support, you soon find that vou have madea sad mistake.

And) further, duriug the spring cireuit of 1373! I uaifoimily refused though solicited, to make political speeches, at my courts, as Lhad been iu the habit of doing on every circuit since 1365; lest I might appear to tuke advantage of the sitting member who was compelled to be iu Washington, attending to bis official duties.

Ninth—Resolved that we arraign him for.the fraudulent manger iv which be attempted in his speech delivered at Warren, on the 19th of September, 1874, to shield himself from just censure in re- ceiving the before numed $5,000, by falsely representing, iv said speech, that the Congress of the United States were not responsible for the acts of said board, nor the United States liable for the debts created thereby, when in truth and in fact, as he then well knew, the said Board of Public Works and the officers of said District were but the ageuts and instruments of Congress and the United States was responsible for the indebted- ness by them created.

That no sufficient reason has yet been given for this legislation, so dishonest and palpable in its diserimiuation in favor of the small creditor class and capitalists aud against the great debtor class aud industrial interests of the country. That James A. Garfield duriug the last session of Congress was the con- spicuous defender of this crafty attempt to sacrifice the interests of the people to bond helder and foreign capitalists. That when it was proposed to restore the old silver dollars to the place it had held during our history asa nation asa legal tender for all debts, public and private, he denounced the attempts as “a swindle on so grand a scaleas to make the achievement illustriows’ andas a“shce ne of rascality and colossal swindling.” Twelfth—Resolved that neither great ability and experience or cloquent parti- zap discussion of the dead issues of the late war, will excuse or justify past dis- honesty and corruption or answer asa guaranty of iutegrity and purity for the future. Thirteen—Resolved that believing the statements in the foregoing resolutions set forth we cannot without stullifyiug our manhood and debasing our self-respect support at the polls the nominee of the Republican couvention of this district for re-election, nor can we without sar- rendering our rights as electors and citi- zes, sit quietly by and see a man so un- worthy again sent to represent us iu the national Legislature. That strong in the conviction of right we call upon the electors of the district irrespective of} former or present party attachment who desire hovest government to anite with us in an earnest, faithful effort to defeat the re-election of Geueral Garfield and elect in his stead an honest and reliable man. ae A SpanisuH DENIAL.—A telegram from av official souree in Havana says: ‘Nei- ther the captain-geueral nor the com- wandaut general of the naval squadron has any knoweledge that any American vessel or a vessel of any foreign nation has been detained or searched by a Span- ish man-of-war, aud they deny. there is apy such man-of-war as the Nuncio.” a ee el Diep—Ih Salisbury, N.

O . - ONLY A FARE. BY MARY KYLE PALLas, ‘Fare, ma’am,’ said the conductor. The passenger tovk no notice. She was a shabby-looking old woman, !0) rather rusty-leoking black, with a frayed lace scarf ground her neck, and an old fashioned, heavily worked Jace veil fastened about her bonnet brim. ‘Fare!’ repeated the condyctor again. The passenger luoked at bim, dip- ped ber hand into her pocket, rum- waged in a queer little reticule she earried, and after éxbausting all the sence of which a car conductor is supposed to be possessed, said, slowly: ‘J hayen’t got a penny. I suppose [’ve lost the change, or else I’ve had my pocket picked, and I’m going to —street, tov.’ There was a pause. The conduc- tor lookcd at the passenger and hesi- tuted. It was a damp, misty evening. The streets were ankle deep with mire. It was three miles to street, and the car was not half full. ]t seemed only common humanity to rmit an vld woman to ride to ber destination, whether she bad her fare or pot. But there on the platform, staring through the glass door, our conductor saw the face of a car spy —<a spotter, the men called him— who was watching him with eager, green eyes, unxious to catch him tripping. Poor as his place was, twenty men were waiting for it. His receipts must tally with the number of passengers recorded on the dial provided by the company for that purpose, or off went bis head on Saturday night. Still he could not put the old woman off his par; ouly one alternative remained —he could pay her fare. Now a fare on the road was only five cents, but six o’clock was coming aod he was hungry, and the supper he would have just time to svatch before his evening trips began, woyld cost him ten cents—five cents for bread and cheese, five cents for a cup of coffee. He gave up one of these if he paid that old woman’s fare. You see there was another old woman whom he called granny to be cared for, and clolthes of some sort must be worn, and there were no nnies tospare. But it was the memory of old Granny that arose in bis heart as he dropped in the coin, touched the bell, and nodded “all right” to his passenger; and, as he stepped from his car to take his brief - pest, he handed the old woman to the eypbstoue, and saw er safe upon her way, ‘No, I don’t want anything but the coffee,’ he said, waving away the rest- auraut keeper’s boy, as he pressed the basket of rolls and sandwiches upon him. ‘Take that stuff away.’ The bread was out of reach before he felt quite safe, he was so very, yery hungry. At that moment an old woman touched the car-starter upon thie arm. §Tell me the name of the conductor en car numbder five?’ she said. ‘Phere he sits under the shed, drink- jog some coffee.’ ‘Fhat’s Varoham—Tom Varnham,’ replied the starter, rather eagerly, for he hada relative waiting fora place. ‘ff you have any complaint to make, there’s the office.’ But the pld woman toddled away. Qh, the long, long winter, cold and ergel—a winter full of terrible storms of snow and sleet. Two drivers on the——line were bad'y frozen. Many died of Jung complaints. The con- yetors suffered too, though nat so terribly, and Granny had been sick, and there was money to be spent for medicine and nourishing luxuries, and Tom Varnham’s old great coat was stolen one night by a thief who made his way iuto the crowded lodg- jng house. After that he weut without it, and he often wondered what it would be to he warm, and to sit ata satisfying meal, Life seemed very hard, but to. give yp that poor situation and seek for better was not to he thought of, with Granny on his hgnds. The passengers who rogein car pumber five ofteu snubbed their con- Auctor, tovk him.to task for the in- conveniences they suffered, and ahused jiim at their diuner tables, or as they sat before their warin grates, toast- ing their toes, while he shivered on gue car platfyrm. Perbaps the shgb- by old woman with the worked lace veil may have done jt also, fur she yode inthe car very often, though she never found herself again without & fare. wer <—.e a a te ‘Whai’s the matter?’ asked a pas- senger. ‘Three cars abead stop me ove bart,’ replied tle other. ‘What is it, conductor ?” ‘Conductor of number five dropped down,’ was the response. ‘Some say he’s dead.’ Tom Varnham lay in the midst of a little crowd, quite senseless and very pale. The men were talking about him. ‘He’s been starving himself and freezing, too,’ said one. ‘A sick grand- mother on his hands; and he was a clerk or something, never used to out- of-door work. I’ve seen this coming for days.’ ‘You are the doctor sir,’ asked a shabby old woman, laying her hand on the arm of a gentleman who knelt beside poor Tom, The gentleman looked up. . ‘You said last week that I did not deserve to be called one, Madam Hover,’ he said, demurely. ‘Oh! Dr. Jones! Well, that was when you couldu’t cure me of the neuralgia,’ replied the old lady. ‘But I want you to do something for me. Have this young man brought to my house; ke did mea favor once, and do your best for him, and send the bill to me.’ The doctor nodded, and wher Tom Varnham came to himself he lay in a great old-fashioned feather bed, in a room he had never seen before, and the old woman whose fare he had paid rocked to and fro beside his bed. ‘You are not to talk,’ she said, wav- ing a black fan at him, ‘but every- thing isallright. Your grandmother's board is paid to that rapacious old woman, and you needn’t trouble your mind about anything. Go to sleep. You went without your bread and butter to give me a ride once, and I sha’n’t forget it, though I happen to be a rich old woman instead of a poor one, as you’d thought me.’ Tom listened, found himself inea- vable uf making any remark, and fell asleep again. But hard times were over for the poor fellow. When he was able to work again there was a fine position open for him in a great wholesale house, and he was able to keep a pretty suite of rooms and s servant for old Granny, and to live her, to her great joy. And, moreover, it is well known that old Madam Hover, who has neither rela- tive nor hobby, has made ber will, leaving all her great fortune to Tom Varnham. ‘Don’t ask me why,’ she said to the lawyer. ‘Perhaps you wouldn’t think it much to go hungry ona stormy with winter evening for the sake of a poor old woman. I could have called a coach, and I’d only lost my purse, but he didn’t know that, and I al- ways remembered just how he looked when hesent that bread away. I knew he was a good fellow, and so he is, and I’ve a right toleave my money according to my fancy.’ —__ —__- +> Sentiment versus Justice. The trial of Marie Bierse has been one of the recent sensations of Paris. This woman, described as a somewhat handsome person, about 32 years old, was trained as a singer, appeared be- fore the public with considerable suc- cess, lost her reputation, and resolved upon revenge. She waited for hours ina cab outside her faithless lover’s house, and shot at him as he stepped into the street, seriously wounding though not killing him, After three months imprisonment she is brought before a French jury, with Maitre Lachgud as her advocate. He tried to prove that her mind had beon un- hinged by the treicherous treatment to which she had been subjected. The public prosecutor did not press for the extreme penalty awarded by the law; he merely asked fora verdict of guilty, ‘with extenuating circum- stances.’ Upon this, naturally, coun- sel for the prisoner joined issue, de- celaring that the finding must be one of ‘not guilty’ altogether. It must have been a ‘bad quarter of au hour’ fur M. Gentien while Maitre Machaud was speaking, and a perplexing mo- ment for the court when he concluded by referring to the unhappy woman us one ‘whom the law might consider guilty, but js whom human conscience would only see the martyr to her own heart.’ The president summed up, and the jury retired, In five miautes they came back with a verdict of complete acquittal. Marie Bieres, on her. part, kjssed tne triumpant advo- cate, and was set free.

A strange illness, attrib- uted by some of the emiuent Russian pathologists to the effect produced upon the nerves by all these silly superstitions, has made its appear- ance in several of the provinces of the empire among the hardy and robust rural populations, Nvefficacious meth- od has as yet been devised for treatment in this malady, which generally cul- minatesininsanity. Lhe village priests regard it with indifference, and never try to discourage the demoralizing credulity in which it originates. The district surgeons shrug their should- ers over it, and confess their inability to comprehend the phenomena of its genesis und incubation. Meanwhile, it appears to be rapidly spreading, and largely recruting the ranks of the ‘Chlisti,’ a fanatical sect practices fasting and self-castigation with the most shocking results to its followers, especially those of the fe- ma'e sex. roe re A LEGEND OF THE RHINE.~ which HE WAITED, BUT TOO LONG—A_ BRO- KEN HEART AND A CREEPING VINE. os Once upon a time there lived be- side the Rhine a beautiful young la- dy. She had a lover who loved her, and whom she loved in return. But after he had wooed her—not one year but three—he asked her to marry. him; and she, anxious to show her power, merely auswered : “Wait.” “I have waited three years,” he said, “but at your bidding, I will wait once more—just one more.” Then he went away and became § soldier, and praise to his bravery fill- ed the land; but the lady was piqued by the thonght that he bad been able to leave her for even a year, and when he returned she determined to punish him, though all the while she loved him well. He knelt at her feet, and took her hands in his, and said : “Lady, I have come back to claim you for my wife.” “Wait longer; a patient waiter is not aloser.” “T will wait two years longer,” he said calmly. “If I do not lose all is well.” Then he left her again. She had hoped that he would plead for her, and that she be forced to change her mind; but now he was goue—gone for two long years. How she lived through them she could not tell; but they passed, and again her lover was before her. “T have waited patiently,’ he said. The lady yearned to cast herself in- to his arms, but pride was strong in her. “Wait longer,” she said. “No,” he answered. ‘This is the last time. If I wait now I will wait forever.” At this she drew back haughtily “Then wait forever,” she said culd- ly. He left her without a word. And now her heart sank in her bosom. She wept bitter tears, and repented in dust and ashes. When a year had gone by, she could bear her woe no longer, and sent her little foot page to her old lover, bidding him bear this message, “Come back to ine.” But the message the little foot-pag brought was just this: ‘ Wait.” Again she was left to her sorrow, and two years glided away; then once more she bade her page ride ov- er the mountains to ber lover’s cas- tle. “Tell him I am waiting,” she said. The page rode away and rede back. He stood before his lady and doffed his cap and repeated the message that had been given him: “The patient waiter is not a loser.” “He is punishing me,” thought the lady, and for two years longer she remained in her castle. Her heart was breaking—her health failed— she knew death was near. Again she sent her cruel lover a cnesaage. “Tell him,” she said, “that I am near my ed, and that if I wait long- er befure I see him’ I shall wait for- eyer.” The page returned, and stood be- would ? was all ee Shi breast ; he sighed and hid his face | .

When spring came there was grass upon the grave, and there was also a new plant strange to those who look- edupon it; a plant with dark glossy Jeaves that crept slowly but surely along, clutching fast to every rough surface it met. There had never been a plant like that on earth before. Now we call it the ivy, but this is what those who saw it for the first time said of it: “Tt is the lady whom her lover bade wait forever. In this form she is creeping toward his castle slowly) but surely. So she will creep on until | she reaches the heart she threw away.” Generations have passed from earth The castle is a rain, covered with ivy, and the peasants will tell you that it has crept there from the lady’s grave, point by point, over stone aud rock, through the graveyard and over gates and fences.

It will be apparent to any one, who will ex- amine a SoLiv GOLD WATCH, thabaside from | the necessary thickuess for engraving and pol- ishing, a large proportion of the precious met- | al osed, is needed only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and supply the necessary solidity and strength, The surplus gold is actually needless so lac as UTILITY and beauty are conceryyd.. In James Boss’ PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of precious metal is overcome, and the same solidity and strength produced at from one-third to one-half of the usual cost of solid cases. This process is of the most siinple nature, as follows: A plate of nickle composition metal, especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of solid gold solder- ed one on each side. ‘The three are then pass- ed between polished steel rollers, ard the re- sult isa strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &e., are cut ‘and shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sufficient- ly thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, en- graving and enamelling; the engraved cases have been carried until worn perfectly smooth by time and use without removing the gold.e This is the only Cuse Made withTwo Plates of Soiid Gold & Warranted by Special Certificate. 22:1ly For sale by J. & 1.
