Capitol Episodes—Congress Adjourns— provements. | From our Régular Correspondent. | WASHINGTON, D. C., Dee. 24, 1880. , It would require a very large book to record all that Congress has omitted to do during the past week. On Tuesday Sen- ators Conkling and Lamar both returned to the Senate Chamber, and after gazing at each other with fierce, ~portentious, beetling brows, without saying howd’ye, resumed their respective chairs. Nor has the House been without its episode, less. dignitied than that of the Senate, but not | much, less dignified than the episode of last session which cansed the estrange- | ment of Conkling and Lamar. You have doubtless already been fully advised of the way ia ‘which Messrs. Weaver and Starks hurled Lillingsgate at cach other, aad how other members were disposed to. engage in the melce. But the Capitol is | now silent and deserted. Congress has . adjourned for the holidays; a large ma- | + jority, both of members and of Senators, | | have returned to their homes for the en- | joyment of Christmas.

The mildjopen weather of the past week has been very favorable for wheat sowing, land good progress has been made to- wards overtaking arrears. Phe wet clays ave now workable, and on dvicr soils the laud tarns up well. The young Wheats are looking exceedingly well, and the later sowings are coming through the ground with ap abundance of plant. So far prospecis for produetion in the cuar— rent cereal year are fairly good, both in England and oa the Continent of Eu- rope; but there is an area not yct seed- ed, the dimersions of which are not yet ascertained, which must form an important feature in all estimates of the value of present daca in connection with prospects forthe harvest. ‘There is now the world’s surplus of marketable bread- stuffs being more than eqnal to the con- sumptive requirements of England for the year le3°31, and the only thing that keeps prices at their present level is the paucity of supplics on the spot at the im- mediate present. The United States has asurplus of wheat which has recently been officially estimated as being about 4,000,000 qrs. in excess of last year, and stocks in sight are now increasing to a marked extent both on the Atlantic and Pacitie seaboards. Up to the commence- ment of the past week I hear that specnr- lation has beew active in the United States, but there has not been the faint- est indication of a disposition to invest en the part of the British trade. The po- sition is simple.

C, JANUARY 6, 1881, ropean countries is acknowledged te be retarding the movement of the United States surplus to the seaboard, and imean- while England is well supplied from oth- er sougces, and will continue so to be for the immediate future. Even from Rus- sia the floating contingent in the matter of breadstuffs is not much smaller than at this time last year, whilst from Austria and India the supply is liberal. Time is creeping on, and if the eqnivalent of the present position is maintained for another six weeks there will be a very material portion of the United States surplus of breadstnits which will-not find a market four consumption in the cereal year 1880-81. Country-made flour is dearer in some proviircial markets than in Lon- dea, when it comes into competition with American brands of ‘greatly superior strength at comparatively lower rates. The American surplus will soon become | a disturbing element for weakness in the trade; if you send it in rapidly it will cause a sharp reaction in value here, and if you hold it over it will still remain an element of weakness ahead. In Franee the grain trade has assumed a quicker tone during the week, and Sat- urday’s telegrams show a weakening tend- ency for breadstatts. In Germany the trade in breadstuffs has rnled slow during the week, superior been scarce. Rye is quoted lower, and the tone of the market is decidedly casier, highest vaiues having probably been touched. In Helland the markets for wheat and rye have been cheaper during the week. Tn Belgiam markets have been firm for ! breadstuffs, aud oats have maintained previous values, : ~ = +o — The Coust ruction Bonds.

We read in the Old Testament that “Absalom ijn his life-time had taken and reared up for himself a pillar which is in the king’s dale.” This, with the exception of Absalom’s tomb, which is still pointed out in the Val- ley of Jehoshaphat, is supposed to be the only monument ever erected to perpetuate the memory of that self- conceited, effeminate and spoiled sou of David. There is another pillar which Absalom reared with his own hands, and which still stands just as | qualities only maintaining their values. | he leftit, “to keep his name in remem- | At Dantzig good samples of wheat have | branes.” His entire life was spent in building it, having commenced it in childhood, and completed it only at death. Gradually it was built up, and it will remain to the end of -all time: for pillars built of such lasting materials never crumble in decay. Of course, you cannot expect to see this wonderful pillar: therefore Io shall endeavor to describe it to your imagi- nation, that you may learn profitable lessons from it. Fancy a tall obelisk, or four-sided pillar, like those to be seen in any cem- etery, only much larger and made all of one piece, standing upon a broad pedestal calied its base. Then, as in all monuments, there must be Ictters cut deep in the stone on cach side. The first which plays the fignre of a tall and most we will look at dis- handsome man, with long bushy hair falling over his shoulders in’ great abundance. It is anointed with oil and powdered with gold dust, which vive itadditional charms according to the tastes and customs of theage. Un- derneath you can faney you see the following words cut deep in the hard stone, and red, as if they had jast been painted with blood : “Absalom wasa favorite son of Da- vid, the King of Israel. He was in- dulged in every luxury which a palace could afford. He had gold in abundance, many friends, aud held He was great- ly admired by his father’s subjects, but was revengeful and treacherous, ‘banquets at pleasure. He invited his friends to a great feast, and when all were drunk with wine, commanded bis men, whem he had appointed for the evil deed, to slay his brother, the special clject of his hatred.” The next side represents the same tall figure standing at the gate of a great city, surrounded with chariots and horses and a company of fifty men to serve him, Then beneath are words like these: “Absalom, the deceitful, treacher- ous betrayer of his father, full of eun- ning and stratagem, who stood by the gate, and when any man catne near to bow tohim, put forth his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him; thn asked liim his name, and what city he was from, inquired his cause, pro- nounced it good and right, but Jament- ed that there was none to do him jus- tice, and ended by exclaiming: ‘O that J were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I Thus by flat- tering words he stole the hearts of the would do him justice !’ people of Israel.” same tall figure, now bowing very lowly, as if engaged in’ prayer; but behind him can be seen a great army of men of war gathered from all parts of the kingdom; and under this fig- ure cau be read the following words ; “Absalom, the great hypocrite, who pretended to his father that he had vowed a religious vow to God, and that he desired permission to go to Hebron in order to perform this-pious obligation. His father, not thinking that any son could be so treacherous, On the third side is displayed-the | readily granted leave. Nothing could have given David - more joy than to know that his wild! and reckless son had become a devout worshipper of God. Tbe moment he went out from itis father’s presence, however, instead of going to worship God, he sent spies over all the land to raise an’ army that he might rebel against his father and take away the kingdom from him.” At the top of the fourth side ap- pears this great army @el on by the’ same tall figure, riding upon a mule, and pressiig hard after a small band of men, who followed an old man as he fled from the city of Jernsalem, “barefoot” and weeping, and.all his can fancy you see these words: “Absalom’s army fought against his father’s loyal followers by the woods of Ephraim, but the Lord, the God ef David, fought against Absalom, and his army was defeated and broken up, twenty thousand men were slain, and the wood devoured more people than the sword, and Absalom himself fled, riding upon a mule: for he saw that the battle was sore’ against him, and the Lord had caused his sin to find him out.” Next appears the same tall figure hanging in the branches of an oak by the hair of his head, of which he had been so vain, with a crowd of men around him, and one of them in the act of stabbing him to the heart with a dart which he holds in his hand, with these words following : “Let us not fight against God.” On the base of the pillar you may sce the appearance of a great heap of stones, and the words: - “They took Absalom and cast him intoa great pit in the wood, and laid a very great leap of stones upon him.” Such is a view of the pillar of Ab- salom’s character which he built up by his wicked acts in life, without a sin- gle word of good to be said about him, except that he was a very handsome man, with luxuriant and bushy hair. And God has left his character stand- ing asa monument tothe world, that young and old may remember that the violation of God’s commandments will certainly bring punishment, and especially that he who dishonors his parents cannot expect to escape the awful consequences of his crime, but may come to a premature death, and shall certainly lie in a dishonored grave. On the other hand, if a char- acter of good deeds is built up, it will last through ages to the honor of him God’s Word tells us that “the righteous shall be in’ ever- lasting rememberance, but the name of the wicked shall rot.” Neen who reared it. The scales whicb fly off from iron being worked at forges, iron trim- mings, filings, or other ferruginous material, if worked inte the soil about fruit trees, ur the more minute par- ticles spread thinly on the lawn, mix- ed with the earth of flower-beds or in pots, add greatly to the productive- ness of the soil. For colored flowers, they heighten the bloom, and increase the brillianey. Asa slight evidence of what Texas is doing in the way of raising fruit trees, it is stated that a nurseryman in Washington county hastwenty-sev- en men traveling, and holds orders for 70,000 peach trees. The young man who shirks his du- ties as ofien as possible never sueceeds in life. You may sit it down that sooner or later he will be a drone in you bein life a shirk, you may set it down as a fixed fact thatthe habit will follow you through life, and instead of a success, you will be au utter fail- ure. The celebrated Doctor Dumoulin, being surrounded in his last moments by many of hi#fellow physicians who deplored his loss, said to them, “Gen- tlemen, I leave behind me three great physicians.” Every one thinking him- self to be one of the three pressed him to naine then); upon which he re- plied, “Cleanliness, exercise, and moderation in eating.” You may write it down as an indis- putable fact, that when a man talks a great deal about his retigion he is der to catch trade, the great hive of human industry. If A traveler in South Africa witnessed not long since a singular combat, He was musing one morning, with his eyes ‘on the gound, when he noticed a caterpillar crawling along at a rapid pace. Pursuing him was a host of small black ants. Being quicker in their movements, | the ants would catch up with the cater- pillar, and one would mount his back aod bite him.. Pausing, the caterpil- lar would turn his head, and bite and kill his tormentor,. After slaughter-| ing a dozen or more of his persocutors, the caterpillar showed signs of fa- tigue, . é followers weeping. Underneath you] The 'atits made “sanierdie ee Thi Beating himself toa stalk of grass, the caterpillar climbed up tail first, followed by the ants, As one ap- proached, he seized it in his jaws and threw it off the stalk. The ants, seeing that the caterpil- lar had too strong a position for them to overcome, resorted to strategy. They began sawing through the grass stalk. In a few minutes the stalk fell, and hundreds of ants pounced upon the fallen caterpillar. He was killed at once, and the victors marched off in triumph, leaving the fue’s body on the field. ~~ Prohibition. Despite the many and powerful obstruc- tions thrown athwart the path of its prog- ress, the cause of temperance—total ab- stinence—is forcing its way to the frout. Slowly, but powerfully’, the public mind is being arvused to the great evils of the whisky traffic, and is demanding in un- mistakable tones its suppression. Already the Commissioners of Chat- ham, Halifax and one other county of this State, have refused to license liquor deal- ers. The M. E. Conference, of North Car- olina, recently in session at Winston, and the Baptist Convention, recently in ses- sion at Goldsboro, as well as the Grand Lodge of Colored Masons in session in this city last week, have taken advanced grounds upon the subject. This has been followed by a meeting of the State Pro- hibitory Liquor Law Associatioa, which met last week and adopted plang for a general convention of the friends of the movement in this city on the 12ch of next month, and a vigorous prosecution of the work. The issue has bean made up; the line of battle has been drawn. On which side my friend, will you range yourself? For our part, we have long siuce plaut- ed our batterries on the high ground of prohibition. We believe this right. We believe it the one great means by which we are to rid ourselves of the terrible curse of rum. And who would not rid our fair land of this giant evil? It is the one monster upas, towering above all oth- ers aud poisoning with its eidly malaria every fount of health aud happiness. Its work of desolation, degredation and death, meet us all over our land. And year after year this evil is fastening itself upon us more firmly. Indeed, it already bids defiance to the powers of earth and Heaven and asserts with impudent inso- lence its mighty power. No, we should suffer no longer the dom- ination of rum. Like freemen, we should bravely meet the arch enemy of eur com- mon humanity aud in one bold, deter- mined and resolute onset drive him from our borders.—Journal of Indutry. =e Ts THE NEGRO DyinG Out.—It was as- serted some time ago, and has been stead- ily believed by many, that the Negro is dying eut, and that, ere many genera- tions, he will be almost ertirdly removed from the American continent.

The fellowing are the significant figures: 17 counties in Alabama show a white increase of 18.20 per cent., and a Negro increase of 27.60 per cent. The white increase in South Carolina is 35 per cent., while the Negro increase is 46.50 percent. In 25 counties in North Caroli- ha, embracing the heart of the cotton, to- bacco and manufacturing region, the whites increase at the rate of 25 per cent., while that of the Negro is 35.70.—Journal of Industry. ooo A new sort of garter for women is in the market. It is not worn outside the stocking, but “ext to the skin.

By un ingenious contriv- ance the tap of the stocking is tarned un- der the edge of the band ard fastens there. The idea is to make the garter invisible.

To-day’s New Year calls, in Washing- ton, were a repetition of a familiar pro- gramme. The President, Cabinet Officers, Judges of the Supreme Coart- —nearly everybody, oificial and non-official, re- ceived them; bat calls were less nomer- ous than usual, becanse of the intensely disagreeable weather. New Year recep- tions at the Capitol are goed, if for no other pnrpose, to display the imposing reserve strength of the army and vavy. It has been the policy of our goverument to bring chiefs of Indian tribes to the large Eastern cities, in order to impress them with the strength of eur population, the extent of our resources, and the hopelessness of their cause in the irre- pressible conflict. “Mhis policy has had ho apparent effect upon Indian wars, be- cause the savage is unable to distinguish those who have been taught Freneh and waltzing, to qualify them for their exeeu- tioners, and the shop-keepers and dandies who prominade Pennsylvania Avenue. The accomplished “pups of war? from West Point, and the exquisite civilian, look precisely alike when the former are masquerading in citizen’s dress, as is their custom for three hundred and sixty-four days of the year. ‘The way to make tlie army impressive aud effective would be to bring the Indiaus here on the first day of the year, and let them see our military officers in their warlike panuply. They would then realize, from their epauletts, searts, gold braid, and buttons, what ter- ribly destractive fellows they are, and what a numerons reserve we keep at the Capitol, with Pcupsylvania Avenue as our line of defence. But the New Year official ceremonies are instructive and impressive in at least one other way. first day of the year that we have forcign relations; that we, as a people, do net live to ourselyes, nor order the fashion of our bational household; that republican- ism is net such anew departure as en— We are reminded en the lieved it to be; that, in spite of the discovery of a uew Continent, the width of the Atlantic Ocean, and our vanuted mouarel,ial and formalities, we are conipelled to servilely copy that which the ‘effete despotisus” perpetuate ouly as a venerable tradition, When we see the foreign diplomatic corps, the of Russia, Turkey, Austria, Denmark, and the Fee- jee Islands, with their numerous attachees, any one of them with twice as much gold secession from forms gorgeous embassadors braid aud tinsel as our own resplendcut army and naval officers, our minds are carried back to the day of Valleyraua and Mattermich, or further, to the ages of Richelieu or Macchiaviple, when the poli- cies of nations were not discussed, and the secrets of courts were not anticipated and exposed by the press, cabled to the four quarters of the globe for the infor- mation first of all the world, aud finally, for the enlightenment of the Diplomats. When we see the modern embassador in his ardnous and delicate diplomatic work of calling at the White Ilouse one day of the three hundred aud sixty-five, present- ing his compliments to the President, wishing him and Mrs. Hayes a happy new year, our hearts (not our pockets) may swell with the reficction that, in spite of the press, steam, the Athantic Ocean, and the Atlantic Cables, we, also, have the proud privilege of paying six millious a year, at fureigu courts, in support of this venerable, anteqne, useless, mimicry of diplomacy. a Paris Letter. (Regular Cureezpondence.) Panis, France, Dec. 20, 138380. It seems that the paper war which las been waging this week between the T7'ri- boulet and the Gaulris relative to the Jew- ish qnestion is not to be confined this time to *swinged words,” bat is likely to assume a2 more serious aspect. Barou Harden Hickey, the American citizen who was expelled from France a few months ago for his connection with the illustra- ted Tridoulet, aud who is part) proprietor and editor of the daily paper of the same name, has just addressed a strong letter to M. Arthur Meyer, editor of the Gaulris. In this epistle the Baron expresses an opinion that enough black ink has been spilt, and offers, if M. Meyer is agreeable to write the word ‘finis” in red ink. “Since you are so awbitious of the glory of defending the honor of the tribe of Ju- dah,” continues M, Harden Hickey, “it would hardly benciit me to refrain from telling you that Lam perfeetly veady to cross swords with you for my God, who is that of the Christiav. I therefore beg you, monsieur, toreceive two of my friends who will call on you for the purpose of demanding a foymal retractation of the insults that you have writteu with regard to the Triboulet, of which Iam editor-in- chief, or a reparation by arms.” The challenge is couched iu vigorous language but there secs to be some confusion of ideas as to the subject of the insult. In oue sentence the Baron poses as a kind of mediaval crusader, ready to do battle | for the God of the Christians, in the oth- er as the avenger of that clever byt hard- ly sacred oracle, the Tribulet. Theamus- ing fact of the whole thing is that both papers proposes to be tic organs of Le gitimacy. Another vitriol throwing case happened A. thusiastic optionist once hoped and be- manded money for the support of her children, The reply not being to Mad- ame Guillet’s satisfaction, she drew a bot- tle of vitriol from her pocket, and threw part of the contents in the face of he hus- band and that of the girl. Several peo- ple at once attempted to seize the woman, and in the struggle, a good deat of vitriol was thrown about in all directions, Mad- ame Uuillet herself receiving seme of it in her face. All three are badly disfigur- ed. A serions disturbance occurred at L’Orient on Monday evening. About two hundred inen belonging to the Marine Artillery meeting @ patroll of the sixty- second Regiment of the Line,, comprised of ten privates under the cuminand of a eorporal, drew their sabres and com- menced an attack: which threatened the most terrible results. Overcome by su- perior numbers, the soldiers were forced to beat a retreat ou the guardroem, at the gate of Morbikan.’ The sergeant in con- mand turned out his men, and the arrival of the gendarmes soon put an end to the disturbance, not, however, without sev- eral serious wounds on cither side. _ -~—p-+—— (From the Chureh Messenger.) THE LICENSE LAW. Mr. Eptror:—I am glad to find a de- partment in the Messenger devoted to the special consideration of intemperance, This great moral and social evil scems to be so much on the increase, that every well-wisher to his race ought to be ready to consider carefully what can be done to mitigate its controling influence. Now, Tam inclined to think that the and encamp like bivouacs on the prot nades and streets,—for exhibition, in not only forfeit his a pardon” and sympathy, but are blamed, taunted and laughed. at! And with the pliarisaical poinji of self-righteous floarish,—we are loftily waved off with the grave admoni- tion ‘"Physician,—heal thy self” 1! Great Jauns! is it possible that Mr. C, thinks that insult, to some people, is saferand better than humane fairness ? Taking him for authority, it appears that a citizen—when not sober—has no rights and is wholly unprotected by law! But as this theory of Mr. C’s “is too ab- surd for avuything”——except for what it is obvibusly intended—a mud plaster for the mouths (or pens) of snuch—I will not trouble you, Mr. Editor, for statistics in relation to it. Mr. C. says: “I have seen dry goods, agricultural implements, buggies &c on the side-walksof Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York; and custom, if not daw, has sanctioned and encouraged such ex- hibitions. If so. why should such exhi- bitions be prohibited in Salisbury 7” This bold demand for illegal privileges, I will not now discuss; I deny, however, that such usages are encouraged or even sitietioned—but rather cursed by the pub- lic where (in large cities) they have rare, epheineral, spasmodic aud peculiar local existences, through the connivance of. law-officers whese probity is not above price. By a parity of reasoning, many odious usages in large cities,—“sanction- ed by eustom if not by law,”’—might he transplanted here. On the other hand, it isnot necessary to guout of this State to find towns where xo obstruction to travel is permitted, and where the social and business machinery moves more uniformly and smoothly in consequence. Those only who really kaow how to rule are most ardent ia their fealty te strict law. Again,—leaving “egotism and (the other) hardware merchants” ont of the question, I think Mr. C. pats too fine a point en the matter when he makes as- sessmenton the gratitade of the public for the good he has done this town, by transacting business wholly in his own interest. Probably no one is, personally, 80 in- ~ most potent of all causes, for the inerease | of intemperance, is foun] in the existing | license law.

January 3rd, 1857, 2° below THE CHURCHES OF ROWAN, Tha carly settlers of Rowan county were religious people, and in many instanceg the cnjoyment of pertect liberty of censcience was the great object which they were seek- ing when they were making for themselves a home in the western world. The poor Palatines had endured much suffering in their home on the Rhine, and been driven forth to seck a shelter for their families in foreign lands. They, or their descendants, found a resting place in eastern) Rowan. The Scotch Irish tled from the north of L[re- land, in consequence of disabilities imposed on them for the sake of their religion. They found a home in the fertile lands of western Rowan, And with them they brought an intense love for their own peculiar doctrines and forms of worship. 3YTERIANISM IN ROWAN PRI not only in the affectioas and doctrines of the settlers, but in the form ef organized Presbyterian Congregations.

Bran- don, On the 18th of January, 1753, a simi- lar Geel for twelve acres more, “ou James Cathey’s north line,” was conveyed te the same conzregation. From this we leatn that there was an organized congregation of Presbyterians at this point, capab'e o purchasing Jand, and its popular name was the “Lower Meeting House.” The second name by which it was known was “Cathey’s Meeting House,” doubtless because in the neighborhood of the Catheys. Its third and present name, was Thyatira. Whether it was an organized church, with its regularly ordained elders, at that early day, we have no means of determining. It is probable that some of the first settlers, the Catheys, Brandons, Burs, Andrews, Grahams or Nes- bits were ordained elders before leaving Pennsylvania, and exercised their office in planting a church near their new homes, A second thoucht suggested by the name, “Lower Meeting House,” is that there was at that date an “Upper Meeting House,” or perhaps more than one. The “Upper? one would naturally be looked for higher up the principal strea:ns—the Yadkin and Cataw- ba—and was no doubt. to be found in the settlement where Statesville was afterwards built, and which was afterwards divided into the three churches of Fourth Creek, (Statesville) Concord, and Bethany, These four churehes of Rowan, with the seven churelhes of Mecklenburg, constituted the twelve historical churches of Western North Carolina, whose bounderies were defined, and whose organization was completed by the missienaries, Rev. Messrs. Spencer and McWhorter, in 1734. The latter is the date generaily assigned as the time of their or-. ganization, but most of them are really a dozen, or perhaps twenty years older, or contemporaneous with carlicst settlement. From the History of Fourth Creek church written by Rev. E. F. Rockwell, we learn that Fourth Creek was gathered into acon- gregation at least as early as 1751, and their place of worsh*p was fixed upon as early as 1758. The Rev. John Thompson came into this region as early as 1751, and settled near Centre church. He preached at Fourth Creek, and various other stations in Rowan county for about two years, and it is said the peopte came 20 or 25 miles to his ap- pointments. “From the Davidsen settle- ment and the rezion of Beattic’s Ford, they éame; trem Roway, the Brandons, the Cow- ans, the Brawieys. Sometimes he baptised | ascore ef infants at once.” Ife lad one! preaching station near where Third Creek | church is, one at Morrison’s Mill, one pear the present site of Davidson College. As Cathey’s Mecting House (Thyatira) was es- tablished about this time, or earlier, no doubt John Thompson preached at that place also, From a manuscript nap of Fourth Creek Congregation, drawn up by Hon. William Sharpe in 1773, it appears that there were one hundred and ninety six heads of fami- lics, of one hundred and cleven different names residing within ten miles of Fourth Creek church, and belonging to the congre- gation, The number of persons at the usual. estimate of five to a family, would be near- ly one thousand. Out of these were formed in later days, the churches of Fourth Creek, Concord, Bethany, Shiloh, Bethesda, Third Creek, Fifth Creck, Tabor and Clio, or parts of them, now numbering 1097 members. But tnough these were in old Rowan, they are now in Iredell ceunty. Cathey's or Thy- atira is the Mother church of moderu Row- an Presbyterians, In 1753, two missionaries were sent by the Synod of Philadelphia to visic Virginia and Nortit Carolina with di- rections to show special regard to the va- cancics between the Yadkin and Cafawha. The names of these ministers were McMor- die and Donaldson. In the fall cf #755 the Rev. Hugh McAden made a tour through North, and South Carolina, preached at Cathey's Mcetir.g Heuse, and was solicited to remain, but declined. The same year the Rev. John Brainard and the Rev. Elibu Spencer were directed by the Synod of New North Carolina, but there is no report of , form societics, adjust the boundaries ef Congregations, ordain elders and dispense the Sacraments. It was at this period that the seven churches of Mecklen- barg, and the two churches of Rowan— Fourth Creek and Thyatira—were definite- ly established. The next year, 1765, Fourth Creck and Thyatira united in a call for the services of the Rey. Elihu Spencer, and the congregations sent wagons, accompaniad by elderly men, all the way to New Jersey to move his family to Rowan. It is said that he declined to come because the messengers refused to pledge themselves to restore his wife to her friends in the event of his death at an early day. It was eight years more before Thyatira obtained a minister. In 1772 the Rev. Mr. Harris, of whom we knew nothing farther, took charge of the chareh and remained about two years. In 1778 the Rev. James Hall became pastor of Fourth Creek, Concord and Bethany churches, and in 1777 the Rev. Samuel Eusebius Mc- Corkle was ordained and installed pastor of Thyatira, church. Mr. McCorkle was borr in Lancaster county, Pa., in 1746, and came with his parents to Rowan in 1756. He prepared for College under the Rev. David Caldwell of Guilford, and was graduated from Princeton in 1772. He was licensed by the Presbytery of New York in 1779. and then preached two years in Virginia. After preaching about eight years in Thya- tira, he commenced a classical school, about a mile cast of the church, which he called ‘Zion Peernassus Academy.” This school was eminently useful, and Dr. McCerkle’s4 students were thoroughly drilled, and six of the seven graduates of the first class from the University of North Carolina were Dr. McCorkle’s pupils. Forty-five of his stu- dents entered the ministry, and many of of them became lawyers, judges, and offi- cers of State. The signal sa ‘cess of his pu- pils in achieving eminence arose from his faithfulness in discouraging young men who were destitute of respectable talents from following any of the learaed professions. In 1795, the Trustees of the University of North Carolina elected Dr. McCorkle Pro- fessor of Moral and Political Philosophy and History, with the view of his acting as Pres- ident. Gcn. Davie, it seems, objected to the arrangement, and this caused Dr. Mc- Corkle to necline the place. In 1796 the Rey. Joseph Caldwell was clected to the chair of Mathamatics, and presiding Profes- sor, and for forty years wuided the institu- tion in its career of usefulness. But Dr. McCorkle did not cease to labor for the ad- vancement of the infant University. He made many excursions to raise funds fer its endowment, was present at the laying of the corner stone of the first building, and made an address upon that occasion. He did not cease to love the University to the end of his life. On the 2nd of July, 1776, the Rev. Samuel E. McCorkle was married to Marga- ret Gillespie, of Salisbury, the daughter of the patriotic Mrs. Elizabeth Stecle, who re- tieved the distress of Gen. Greene, in Salis- bury, by the timely suprly of money. She bore him ten children, six of whom survived him, and some of their descendants are still living in Thyatira. Dr. McCorkle received his death warrant in the pulpit, being strick- en with palsy while conducting the services ofthe sanctuary. Ife lingered on for anum- ber of years, unable to fulfill the dutics ot the ministry, except by patient suffering for the Masters sake. On the 21st of June, 1811, he was called to his reward, and his body: wag laid in the Thyatira grave yard. About 1792, Third Creck and Unity churches in Rowan were organized, and about the same period, Joppa, sow Mocks- ville church, in Davie county. The Rey. Jas. D. Kilpatrick, from the Washaws in South Carolina was the first Pastor of these churehes that were cut off from Thyatira# Fourth Creek and Bethany churches. In the revivals of 1802-3, Mr. Kilpatrick was an active participant, and warm sympathizer. He labored in this field till March, 1829, when he was called to his rest. His remains are interred in the grave yard of Third Creck church. Two of his sons, Abner and Josiuh, lecame ministers, and two of his daughters married ministers—one the Rey. Mr. Kerr, and the ether the Rev. Mr. Porter. Four or five of Mr. Porter’s sons became ministers. The revival of 1802-3 had vreat effect upon the -western neighborhoods of Thyatira, and they began to desire a sepa- rate church. Dr, McCorkle did not symipa- thize with the camp-meeting movement, but only tolerated it. On the other hand a part of his congregation was fully under its in- fluence. In 1805, Back Creek was erected into a separate church.

The Philadelphia Ledger has een studing Professor Baird’s report of the work of the United States Fish Com- mission, and makes some remarks up- on one feature of that work—namely, the introduction of carp. It says: “The business of water farming h already its rules and its profits. It ‘makes an old farmer stare to be told that a quarter of an acre, laid down in water, will bring him in more profit, in food raising, than a quarter of an ‘acre cultivated in any other way. “And also that corn fed to carp brings in twice or three times the returns in food that the same number of bushels fed to pigs or other cattle does. The carp isa vegetable feeder, so that it can support itself in the vegetable growths and confere of ponds and streams. But it thrives and increases enormously when regularly fed as other stock is fed. It does its own grazing if let alone; but it can be fate ‘tened for the market on bread csumbs or cabbage leaves. Its most profita- ble food, however, is bailed dry corn —that is, corn out of the corn-crib, as juices or boiled in a pot. One comes on the table beef, the other meat. In the one case, the beef taste is preserv- ed; in the other, it is so modified as to become quite a different thing — New York Observer. w. B. P. —_- ~<a Some Old-Fashioned Courting.

Kindly persons offered the young woman the assistance and shelter her forlorn position required, but ber absorbing thought was to ob- tain news of the man for whem she had traveled so far. The police Com- missary undertook to satisfy her on this point, and ‘a few hours later she learned that he whom she had walk- ed so many leagues to see had ex- pired in the hospital ward ‘twenty- four hours before her arrival. — — - - ~ o condition, growth and prosperity-of Kansas to-day with shat it was half a century ago. The present consti- tional ameadment first passed the Senste unanimonsly, and was expect- ted it would be submitted to the peo- ple. The anti-temperance element fought it hard, but when it was forced to a vote it lacked only one of the necessary two-thirds vote. Several vetes were taken with the same result, and everything indicated that it would be lost. In the midst of the excitement a wonan entered the house and appealed tv her husband, a Democratic member, in the name of God to change his vote, and he changed it. Gov. St. John said that in the 2,000 places in Kansas where liquor was sold $7,000,000 were year- ly expended.

The carp breed at two to three years of age, and their growth is as rapid as their fecundity is great. The “four-year olds” in the Govern: ment ponds weigh from ten to fifteen pounds, Asso many farmers have ponds upon their grounds, and so many more might have them, we think that the culture of the carp should become a source of supply iu numerous farmers’ households and be a valued source of income. age Unwholesome Wells, The great trouble with wells is that in the course of years the ground around the house and barn becomes so impregnated with sewage and other contaminations as to effect the water, In the first report of the Massachu- setts Board of Health, Dr. Derby says: “Asa rule, a well receives drainage from a superficial circular area whose diameter is from one to three times the depth of the well, varying with the character of the svil.’ On this principle, no well thirty fect deep should have a privy, pig-pen, barn- yard, or cess-pool within filty feet of jt in any direction, nor should any slops of the house or refuse of any kind be thrown upon the surface of the ground within the area of this cir- cle. Hew many farms are there op which this principle is not violated? It isnot a sufficient reply to say that the family have drank from sych wells with impunity fur a score or more of years. It must be remembered that when the wells were first dug the wa- ter was pure, but the ground has been gradually impregnated with foul mat- ter, which, if it has not already per- meated to the water, will finally reach and contaminate it.

A better recipe than the one given in the Observer of Oct. 19th, fer cur- jng meats, at least fur curing beef, is the following: For 100 Ibs. of meat mix thoruygh- ly 7 lbs. of salt, two of brown sugar, and 4 oz. of pulverized saltpetre. Have the beefin pliable condition, and fit and pack closely, and pound down, with the composition sprinkled be- tween the layers in proper proportion. There must be no interstices, no un- occupied space. Set in a cool place, put on sufficient weight, and if the work is properly done, the juices of the beef, with tlfe dissolved composi- tion, will ia a few days make brine to cover. ‘The difference between meat put down this way or in the ordinary pickle is, to some extent, the differ- "On © sake @e } } > ' Pe ° cnee between a steak cooked inits own! fur the city where her husband lay Stood upon their feet = : - - * J , ‘Over in the woods here, chopping down a coon tree.

A Wife’s Devotion, A rare example of constantey, cour- age and deyotion combined has just been furnished bya brave young peasant womgn, born and bred ina remote hamlet of the Nosges F rance. Marie Hagart, this heroine in hum- ble life, bade adieu te her husband some months since, and saw him start for the yreat city of Paris in the hope of obtaining employment there. But almost upon his arrival in the capi- tal he fell ill, and being without either funds or friends, was taken to the Hospital de la Pitie. The news of his illness reached the hamlet where his wife lived in course of time, and the latter, listening to the promptings of her heart, determined to join her sick husband at once.

Mr. Editor: I see that the two amend- ments to the Constitution, submitted by the legislature of 1879 to the voters of the State, for their ratification or rejection, 12 m’s $5.99 | 12.55 me a isog | has been ratified by a majority of the eg good people of the State, and by the pro- ae clamation of the Governor they are parts of the Constitution of the State. As to the amendment in regard to the fraudu- lent debt of the State, that is final and needs no legislation to make it effective ; but the amendment in regard to the Deaf Mutes, Blind and Insane of the State, this Legislature has the power, and ’tis its duty by wise action to make it both eco- nomiecal and a blessing to the’ tax-payers ERN welfare of those unfortunate beings, as ment in the session of 1379. And the | mover of said amendment feels it his du- ity, although he can expect but little ben- | efit therefrom, being close on the “home- pesretel of three score years and ten, to | state, for the benefit of after generations, | that some of the most potent reasons that | prompted said amendment are the follow- ping: Under the Constitution as it was, the Legislature had no power to restrict ex- penses within proper bounds, and the outlook being so gloomy as regards the Insane-—open to fraud most gigantie—and | when the prospects of the State would ihave been completely damaged by these galvanized philanthropists, the cost inthe | | ‘near future would have been a quarter of a amillion of dollars yearly ; that the Hiit | of taxation would have been entirely in- sufticient for State and county need, and I here say that these prefendiag philan- es ES on ove «=| @ deadly fight to keep their bold. of ths the control of the Legislature with regard (tothe indigent insane, nnd cuts olf all those able to pay, as well as the Deat Mutes and Blind.

Is it any wonder that the treasury should be- — | come exhausted worse than the late Judge Pearson's judiciary. Now, six years ago, the Legislature became very much a eal- vanized philanthropic body, when they C. did not or pretended not to be able to pay 4} any intereston the public debt, appropri- foe San ated only the small and insignificant stam STOVES | of ¥75,000° to build anether Asyluin at aper than | Morganton. ‘Two years thereafter that can buy} small sum showed the foundation laid. | at hi The Legislature of 1876-77 appropriated il repair | for 1347 and 778 $60,000 more for comple- stills on} ting the main building and one wing.

Then the Legislature of 1879 gave them $50,000 more, and at the called ses- sion that was spent, and the building not ready to accommodate one lunatic; and like the horse—leach the ery was for $25,- 000 more. Yes, more! but they did not get it. Anybody can sce that Morganton must be insane, or they think the rest of the State are, to let them filch the hard earnings of the people.

And now let me advertise, that these same galvanized philantrophists will twist, wrangle and howle in our Legislature, to make the laws under the Amendment, in their favor, to keep on grinding the blood.and bones of the hard working people of the State for their special benefit. Will they bull- doze the Legislature? We shall see. The | Amendment says, the General Assembly may provide that the indingest deaf mutes, blind and insane of the State, shall ve cared for at the charge.of the State. May provide;: it gives the Legislatare. diseression to make that provision or not as they may elect. I hope the General | Assembly will not undertake to provide for them at the charge of the State. Ifthey do that Amendwent is and will be worth- less. The General Assembly should recur to first principles if they do. The gyabbers occupation will be gone, and in the near future it will save to tax payers at least 50,000 dollars.’ The Legislature should enact laws making each county pro- vide for its own indigent deaf mutes, blind and insane, that the State Treasur- er acquaint the commissioners of the sum required for their maintenance, and remit the amount to the sheriff when they make their returns of taxes collected for the State. And further, the whole matter of .| sending these unfortunates to the Assylum be left in the hands of the county Com- missioners, with a skilful physician to constitute the Board. And further in any Court where a criminal pleads insanity as amitigation of his erime, the physician should be tendered to give impartial evi- dence in the case, that the county may pot unjustly or wrongfully sustain dam- age; and that the commissioners shall be required to advertise in their several counties from the Ist of September to the first of December, in each and every year, who the county sustains and pro- vides for, and the cost. And the Board so constituted should have exclusive pow- er to send or not, as they may think best for the insane, or keep them at home. For one of the assistant physicians at the inmates of the Assylum, had no busi- ness there. Then it is useless to send them why not keep them at home, and save at least one-fourth of the cost 1 Where they keep them and they would not be inear- cerated in the worst of prisons? for life. and enjoyment of freedom that they can enjoy, that God has given them. ‘To be Raleigh in 1879, said, that two-thirds of to the Xssylum, and it can't benefit them, are pot malignant, their friends would Let the poor insane have all the liberty imearcerated in an Assylum for life is horrid.

And sometimes they are incarcerated by mercenary motives, men and women who are sane, are in for life by their enemics or relatives to get them out of the way. Of which sort the Asylum at Raleigh may not beam excep- tion. And I think there is reasonable ground for the Legislature to create a committee of experts, to examine and it anyare thusincarcerated give them the lib- erty God has giveu them to enjoy. And to examine the roll and call each one, and report the actual number in the Insane Assylum at Raleigh.

CaroLINA WATCHMAN: On yester- day came off the closing exercises of the fall term, for the current year, of the school at Mineral Springs Institute, in Stanly county, exhibiting, as is usual for that institution, marked evidences of the untiring energy and skill of the Teacher, and the good deportment, zeal, and pro- gress of the students. The only cireum- stance’ealculated to mar, in the least, the enjoyment of the whole vccasion, was the inadequacy of the size of the Academy to the accommodation of the large crowd present. This inconvenience seemed to be unneticed, however, and, notwithstaud- ing the chillinegs of the weather, all en joyed it hugely. Those living at a dis- tauce set out for their respective homes to-day, traveling over bad roads, and through a most blinding snow-fall, feel- ing that they had been richly repaid for all their trouble, and carrying with them their hopeful sons and daughters to see loved ones at home, and te enjoy the Christmas holidays.

The writer of this was most agreeably impressed with the evidengesof profound interest in the school, martifested by ‘the people of the neighborhood, All, even those whose heads were whitened by the frosts of more than seventy winters, were in. attendance by nigh well as day. giving their undivided: after to al that transpired, and tendering their hos- pitalities to those from a distance.

The school at Min- eral Springs is evidently blessed with these elements, and hence its success. On the above occasion, the writer had | the pleasure of meeting intelligent gen- | tlemen from the adjoining county of Montgomery, of whom he sought informa- tion conceruing ‘that wolt” which was killed about a month ago, in the big woods a few miles northeast of Troy, and of the true woltship of which many were, fora time, in doubt. Having seen the stuffed hide of the animal in question, he was satisfied that it was that of a vertiable wolf, but desired to know the thoughts of others. He was informed that no doubts any longer exist in the part of country near where the animal was killed ; that j the best judges, and, among them, gentle- men who have resided in conntries where the wolf is common, unhesitatingly pro- nounce him a wolf; that since the one re- ferred to was killed, three or four others have been seen; and that one William Hurley had recently lost more than a hundred head of sheep, which, though killed by carnivorous animals, were not killed by dogs. Now, whence came those wolves? Are they aborigines of the county of Montgomery, or are they imimi- grants from other parts, settling there, and claiming the rights of squatter sov- ereignty?

Let there be delegates from all sections of the State. It is pleasing to note that secular papersare coming out In favor of this measure, and that the movement seems to be growing into ‘enthusiasm. The North State Press says—and we could expect nothing else from that quarter: “Let every Christian man, woman and child take a hand and soon our good State will blossom with prosper- ity and the courts will be rid of two- thirds of the business that pile upon the docket of every connty, and mon- ey will be save to the tax-payers in the way of bills of cost fastened upon the people by the result of liquor sel]- ing.

Canon Farrar, in a recent address entitled “Temperance and Legisla- tion,” published by the National Tem- perance Socity, referring to the ery so often made, that “You cannot make people sober by Act of Parliament,” says: “Gentlemen, it is not true that you cannot, to an immense extent, make people sober by Act of Parlia- ment.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, ina recent interview, gives expression to a sentiment which has gradually gain- ed ground since the election. It is in effect that trade, not the politicians, is to rule hereafter. In answer toa question as to whether Garfield would pursue a pacific course towards the South, or attempt a coercive interfer- ence with our affairs, he said: “The people of the United States will reg- ulate that matter on strictly business principles, and Mr. Garfield will fol- low ‘the course of trade.’ The inter- nal commerce of the United States is by far the most important interest of the American people, and that is be- ing conducted in the most friendly possible spirit. The merchants of New York would sue out a writ of lunacy against one of their number who would write to his customers that he regarded them as a set of bar- barous bull-dozers and an unchiristian set of peeple, who resort to force and fraud to keep themselves in power, and that he would neither scll them goods nor buy their cotton.” ae gn Mr, Nordhoff writes to the New York Herald: “The Southern negro is undoubtedly the most docile, and, on the whole, the best peasant laborer in the world; bat the Southern white does riot Kuow how to manage him.” This is modest. The Southern people who were reared with the negroes -and thoroughly understand them “do pot know how to manage them.” Of course the Northern mau knows all about it. This reminds us of the hundreds of North- erpers who pitched their tents in the South immediately after the war and rent- ing or buying farms began to show the ignorant Southerners how very little they knew about cultivating the soil. The re- sult can be summed up ina few words: the despised Southrons own those farms now, and the boastful Northerners have long ago “busted” and departed ‘to parts unknown.” And now the Northern wise men are to teach the stypid Southern “how toe manage” the race they whites have played with and been on terms of kindness with from childhood.

The Legislature of 1879 passed, in re- sponse to a popular demand, a bill reducing the salaries of the officials about our State capitol. By the constitution, those salaries could not be altered during the term of the) officials succceding to office on Jantary 1, 1881. have begun January 1, 1881, were nominat- ed and elected upon the contract with the public to receive the reduced salaries. By reason of circumstances their inauguration is postponed to January 18th, and there is now advocated an increase of those salaries. There is not one of those officials who was ferced to be renominated, and not one who took a renomination except upon the under- standing that the salary fixed by chapter 240, acts 1879, was to be his salary if elect- ed. It isto be hoped, and it is believed, that the Legislatue will not repeal chapter 240, acts 1879, and thus add many thou- sands of dollars to the salaries these officials have contracted to receive. ee ee The bad weather has cansed but one delay on the Western North Carolina Rail Road—the trains both . ways being prevented from passing over the road by asnow diift iu a cut six miles this side of Salisbary.

A citizen of Nashville has spent a day at Beanvoir with Jefferson Davis sud his family: He refers to it as an occasion o} much interesc and pleasure. served in the army ander General Joseph E. Johustun, aud being a great admirer of him, he bad shared, in a measure, the feeling against Mr, Davis’ admiipistration, buta talk with the ex-President of the Confederacy caused him to feel that in- justice had been done that gentleman in charging that he had acted from prejudic- ed motives. Mr. Davis said that one of the hardest duties he had performed was that of removing Gen. Johnston when Hood succeeded to the Army of the ‘Ten- Having every section of the South when it became apparent that Atlanta must surrender to the enemy. Olher subjects were frecly discussed during the day. A compliment was paid Mr. Hayes’ Administration by another genUeman who was a guest at the t me, whea Mr. Davis rennuked that llayes did not recommend a reduction of his sal- ary. In this connection, he remarked that salaries ef publie officials are too high, and he told how members of Cone gress used to club together iu messes, He furthermore said that oar form of goverb- ment isxafest when the people are poor. “Not poor, for instance, as-the people of Mississippi,” he added with grim humor, “but where there is a degree of depend- ence of the people among theinselves, and especially when officials receive mroderate salaries and live within their incowes.” “Mars. Davis showed her love for her eoun- try in the expression that she would be sorely grieved if one of her children should think of avy other country better than his own Ameriea. She would rot be will- ing, therefore, to educate sous abroad as circumstances have made it proper with their daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Davis will go to Enrope in June for their daughter. Notwithstanding report to the contrary, Mr. Davis does not remember to have seen Mr. Lincoln. He talks freely of men and measures. Andrew Jackson is great- ly admired by him. He said: ‘If Jackson had been born in courts he could uot have been more courtly.” When Mr. Davis had completed his education he weut from Kentucky to Mississippi on horseback, and from Nashville he rode out to the hermitage, making a delightful visit to the General. He mentions Jackson as paving been a mach purer man in his moral character than is generally believ- stand by the right, expecting only defeat, the sooner will they be respected, aud the ' r chances of nltimate better will be thei + sticeess. The gentleman favoring the American with the foregoing did not expect to give any publicity to. Mr. Davis’ views, bat they are suchas can do no harm, and will bo read with interest. ‘Te ‘use the lan- guage of a friénd, the leader of the ‘*lust cause” will never bring repreach upon the people who honored him as their leader and their chief.—Nashville (Tenn) American, Dee, 25. —_————_—_~>o>—___— Be on time ; for prevention is better than eure, All coughs and colds and sueb af- fectious of the throat and lungs as lead ta consumption are cured by Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.

This was i during the time that Dr. McCorkie was pros- jtrated by paral, sis. Dr. Brown was called became lege, and afterwards President of Athens College, Georgia, his life. Between the vears of 1809 and 719, the Rev. Samuel L. Graham, the Rev. Par- sons O. Hays, and perhaps others preached for awhile in Salisbury. During all this time there were not enough Presbyterian Ichurch members in Salisbury to justify an jorganization, at least such was the opinion lof these members and visiting preachers. But in 1820 there came as Teacher to Salis- bury, a man who entertained a different opinion. This was the REV. JONATIAN OTIS FREEMAN, M. D. He soon began to agitate the subject of }church organization, and before the close of the year he collected a body of thirteen }members, had them organized into achurch, hand ordained Alexander Torrence, Thomas L. Cowan and Dr. Alexander Long as Ruling Elders. In the WesTern CAnoLINian, pub- lished by Bingham & White, of the date of Aneu-t Tth, 1821, appeared the following notice: “The Sacrament was administered in the NEw cuuRcH inthis place fer the first time on last Sabbath, by the Rev. Mr. Free- man, assisted by the Rey. Mr. Robinson, of | Poplar Tent Congregation.” The “New |Church” was not anew house of worship, | but the newly organized Presbyterign church }of Salisbury, which had prebably been or- jwanized on the Saturday preceding, Aug. ;4th, 1821. The church building was not | | | finished till five vears later, The church j was composed of the following thirteca jmembers: Albert Torrenee, Elizabeth Tor- lrence, Hugh tHlorah, Mary Horah, Thos. L. Cowan, Elizabeth Cowan, Dr. Atexander | Long, Mary Long, John Fulton,Charity Gay, Mary T. Helland, Ann Murphy and Marga- ret Beckwith. Tradition reports that the church was organized in the o!d Lutheran charch, standing on aspot just inside of the present Lutheran grave yard. The graves let Mr. and Mrs. Cowan are on the site of the old church, For several years this church had no home, but worshipped cither in the Coart Uouse or in the Lutheran Church. Weekly prayer meetings were hetd in pri- vate houses, and fram this originated the custom in this church of kaoceling at its prayermeetings instead of standing as is practised in other Presbytefian church- les. Dr. Freeman remained in Salisbury till 11826, when he removed to Raleigh, N.C. | Just betore leaving he laid the corner stone of the present church bui dig with appro- priate services, During his stay of five years the following persons were added to the church: Michael Brown (1823), Isabella Maria Prown, Jane Troy, Catherine B. Troy, | | | | | varet Dickson, Mary Gay, Mary Ann Reeves, Jane Trotter, Joseph Hall, Dr. Jno. Scott, Wm. Curtis, Mrs. Curtis, with seven colored persons. All these have passed away from carth.

Freeman remained in Salisbury till the fall of 1826, when he removed to- Raleigh. After this he labored in the bounds ef Orange Presbytery and in Virginia, fer a number of years. He was an excellent teacher of the classics, and a number of our promi- nent men, as Hon. Burion Craige and Dr. Josenh W, Hall, were prepared for College by him. He died in Washington, N, C., in 1835, in the 63d year of his age. Dr. Freeman’s son, Edmund B. Freeman, was clerk ef the Supreme Court of North Carolina, from 1836 to 1868, 82 ycars. The Rev. Jesse Rankin, a native of Guil- ford county, was invited to Salisbury as principal of the Academy and supply tothe church. He came in January, 1827, and re- mained till about the close ef 1830, four years. During the period of his ministry here there were twenty-seven additions te the Church, an average of nearly seven each year. For the first fifty years of its existence there was an addition of 406 persons to its commuinion, an average of eight each year. From 1831 to 1886, the Rev. Thomas Espy, and the Rev. P. J. Sparrow, served the Salis- bury and Thyatira churches, each one year. Mr. Espy died, April 16, 1833, and his re- mains were deposited in the Lutheran grave yard in Salisbury, where a marble slab com- memorates his life and labors. ° Mr. Sparrow was- called from the Salisbury church to the Professorship of Lauguages, in Davidson College, whither he went in 1837. He af- terwards became President of Iampden Sidney College. He diced a few years since near Pensacola, Florida. In the year, 1832, a remarkable revival of religion occurred in this church, under the preaching of the Rev. A. D. Montgomery, by which many were added tothe church. From 1836 till 1845, the Rev. Stephen Frontis was pastor of this church, and 44 were added to the church during his ministry. Mr. Frontis died a few years ago, and sleeps in the grave yard of Prespect church. On the Ist of February, 1846, the Rev. Archibald Baker, a native of Robesen county became pastor of the church and continued till 1859, a period of thirteen years, and 156 communhi- cants were added under his ministry. Mr. Baker was a devout, earnest, and amiable servant of the Lord, aud his memory is still cherished by the older members of the church, He was stricken down while speak- ing in Centre church in his native county. and died in the harness. On the 38rd Sabbath of November, 1861. the Rev. Jethro Rumple began his work as pastor of the Salisbury church, and contin- ucs till the present time. During the twen- ty years of his ministry there have been 240 additions to the church. In closing this sketch there are two or three facts that may interest the reader. The tist is, th t from the beginn’ng this church maintained a well conductcd Sabath school, in which many of the most devoted incmbers of the congregation were teachers. The principal superintendents of the Sab- | bath school have been, Thos. L. Cowan, J. |J. Blackwood, Col Samuel Lemly D. A. | Davis. Philip J. Sink, Win. Murdoch, J. J. | Bruner, Samuel H. Wiley and D. MeNeely. | Most of those who are now members of the ichurch, were once pupils in the Sabbath lschool, and reeeived their carly religious | impressions in that nursery of the church. Another clement of success in the church has been its earnest and faithful offiee-bear- ers, embracing many ef the most highly es- teemed and influential citizens of the town. The Ruline Elders have been, as fellows: Alex. Long, Michacl Brown, Sanvl Lemly, Philip L. Sink, D. A. Davis. J. J. Bruner, Win. Murdoch, Thos. McNeely, Dr. J. J. Summerell, J. 8. MeCubbins, Julius D. Me | Neely, E. HE. Marsh, R.A. Knox and Orin D. Davis. The Deacons have been Julius D, Ramsay, J. J. Summerell, M. D., Obadiah | Woodson, Jno. D. Brawn, Jas. S. McCubbins, J. A. Bradshaw, John A. Ramsay, Jno. M. Hlorah, Julius D. McNeely, E. Hl. Marsh, J. Kk. Burke, T. B. Beall, R. A. Knox, Thee. | F. Ktuttz, Sam’l H. Wiley, W. L. Kluttz jand Hugh M. Jones. Another element of success has been that the Church has had few and brief periods /of vacancy, an. very little serious interna! dissension. Upon the departure of onc pas- ter the congregation speedily agreed upon and secured another, and the work thus went on witl oit intermission. Another characteristic of the church is | that it has always diligently fostered schools } and colleges. Its early ministers were teach- fers, and in later days it has maintained ex- cellent male and female Academies where every child in the cougregation has free ac- cess for ten months in the year. As a result many of the youth have been prepared for the higher schools and Colleges, where they have received the benefits of a liberal edu- cation, and have been enabled to enter the liberal professions, and grace the cultivated circles of society. Within the past ten years the following sons of this church have entered the minis- try of the Presbyterian church: Rev. Wm. H. Davis, now laboring in Henderson coun- tv; Rev. Jno. W. Davis, Missionary in Seochow, China; Rev. Branch G. Clifford, in Unionville, S. C.; Rev. J. A. Ramsay, in Rowan county, N. C.,and K. P. Julian, now in his last year at the Theological Seminary. Bryant D. Thomas, who was received into this church between 1826-30, became a minister and preached.in the west. He died a few vears ayo. Third Creek church sent out a number of useful ministers, ameng whom were Abner and, Josiah Kilpatrick, sons of Rev. Jos. D. Kilpatrick; Wm. H. Johnston; B.S. Kri- der; Wm. A. Wood and R. Z. Jehnston. Among the ministers born in Back Creek, were Silas,Andrews; J. Scott Barr; John A. 3arr and RK, W. Shive, of Mississippi. The Presbyterian churches of Rewan have been served by more than fifty different - minis- ters, and have sent eut probably not more than twenty-five or thirty into the work, and not more than a half dozen of these who have served her churches have been natives of Rowan county. ~ Or London Letter. [Regular Correspondence. ] Lonpon, ENGLAND, Dec. 27th, 1830.

Ever since the c the United States, no native or European compete in popular estimation with the Negtown Pippius and Baldwins of the United “States. A story is often told in the colamus of Amerjcans journals pab-| lished in North Western States that, some twenty or thirty years ago, famous pomiculturist, who lived in the State of Michigan, had by judicious graftings raised an apple so déliciona in flavor that he resolved to send a couple of barrels as a present to the Queen of England— the ouly European Sovereign for whom all American citizen who are not of Irish descent, entertain . unbounded respect. The two barrels arrived at Windsor Castle, and their coutents so commended themselves to the palates of their tasters that her Majesty sent a photograph ot herself to the-honest Mich- igan farmer, together with instructions bidding him to supply twenty barrels of his applec annually for cousumption in Windsor Castle. The apple in question is still known in the neighborhood of the locality where it is raised as “the Royal favorite,” and that it is deserving of the name is proved by the fact that no State on the exstern side of the Mississippi grows finer apples thay Michigan, Hitherto the best apples raised upon the North Americau continent were supposed tocome fromthe Western counties of New York State, and especially from the Genesse valley, from Micigan and Ohio, and from the Canadian province of Outa- ria. During the last few years, however, two formidable rivals in pomiculture have arisen in the Pacific States of Cali- fornia and Oregon, where apples, prodig- ious in size and unequaled in flavor, are produced in such abundance that when they find their way—as will shortly be the case—to European markets the old brands of American apples will, in Transatlantic phrase, “have to takea back seat.” In the streets adjoining Covent-garden countless barrels of ap- ples, with “errefully selected, Baldwins” branded upon their heads, may be seen auy morning by interested observers, and I learn from the New York Tribune that these “Baldwins” are grown in Westchester county, close to the City of New York; aid thit vast supplies of the fruit have been sent this winter across the Atlautic in barrels specially for the English market. Bat the flaver of the apples grown upon the Pacific slope close resembles that of the pine- apple, and there is ne reason why they should not be shipped ata profit from San Franciseo to England, secing that, when carefully packed, they are none for being at sea for two COATS: the worse months. as Washington Letter. Congress Again—Wolitical Gossip —Mr. Llaine’s Opportunity—Geit. Malone. From our Regular Correspondent. Wasninetox, D. C., Jan. 8, 1381. Congress reassembled on Weduesday, with barely a quorum in the lower house. Miny members who were in the city did hot go to the Capitel, on account of the submerged and sleety condition of the streets and sidewalks. On Thursday, the House passed the army appropriation bill, and commenced an active discussion of the Inter-State commerce bill; the re- mainder of the week was ehiefly occupied in a discussion of a Lill for the refunding of the public debt. Considering the weather, and the sm: number in attendance, the House has made a good beginuing, and if this legis- lative activity cau be prolonged, much may yet be accomplished in the remain- ing fifty days of the present Congress. Judge Woods has been formally sworn in, and has takeu his scat on the Supreme bench. Senator David Duvis, formerly of the Supreme Court, is expected to in- trodace a bill tc- lay retiring Justice Hunt, and it is thought this vill will meet strong opposition from Senator Conkling, who will do all he can to prevent the present administration making any more uppoint- ments to the Supreme bench. If a vacan- cy shall ogcur before the fourth of March, itis well understood that Senator Ed- minds, of Vermont, will be appointed to fill it. With the return of Congress to the Capitol, gossip as to the condng adminis- tration, the cabinet, and policy, has been revived, Ifa general belief signifies any thing, Mr. Blaine will bo made Seeretitry of State, with power more mearly analo- ogous to the like distinctidh in Europe, than has been enjoyed by any premicr since Seward. What Mr. Blaine's policy will be may be easily predicted by those who are acquainted with his antecedents in both houses of Congress and on the stump. He will, no doubt, make an ef- fort to reconquer for the United Stetes her peaceful prestige-on the seas and, with an accordant Congress, his effort in this direction cannot be without success. It is certain that, as leader of the Cabinet, Mr. Blaine’s ambition will have opportu- nities such as he has not possessed since he was speaker of the House, aud it will not be remarkable if lie brings to the next Republican nominating convention, viose delegates from the late slave States who were alone wanting to make him the standard bearer in the late gontest. General Mahone’s much talked of man- ifesto has proved, in effect, a flasco, since it has failed to throw light upon the only question in which his political personality has any signiticance—the organization of the Senate. This is the season, in Washington, of receptions, hops, and every Variety of so- this country of eating apples grown in| specimen of the fruit has been able to| . ate acess Patti’s Home in South Wales. ‘Patti bas fixed her country home i time since bought a property called. Craig- y-nos Castle, and it is a curious coincidence that Craigy is said to mean, in the patois of the district, nightingale. - The- castle, an Elizabethian structure, is finely placed on the slope of a hill, and on its improvement and that of its grounds the great prima donna has already expended many thou- sand pounds. The castle is two hours’ drive from the Swansea station, but a victoria, with four beautiful pet ponies, soon carries Visitors over the ground, and there is talk of a railroad which will give a station near the castle. A visiter describes its mistress as house is crammed with beautiful things—off- erings to its mistress. Such are the splendid plate and exquisite china and glass used in thetable service. At this retreat.the diva sumptuously entertains her friends, and late- ly surprised them with a splendid display of fireworks by a London pyrotechnist, light- ing up vividly the woods and rocks of her lovely domain. When the display was end- ed, and the moon emerged from the clouds, there was a call fer song, and, stepping out on the terrace window, whither a piano was wheeled, she sang, amid a silence broken only by the low purling of a brook ever the pebbles, “Home, Sweet Home,” a ° The Penitentiary, Raleigh News & Observer.—The health of the prisoners is pow quite good. Du- ring the past year the morality has been more favorable than in the two seasons previous. There were in the peniten- tiary en November L, last, 202 prisoners, while the tutal number of convicts in the State was 993. Iu may be interesting to give some facts in regard to the admission and dis- charge of convicts for the past two years. During the year ending November, 1879, there were received 473, recaptured 23, discharged 283: pardoned, 32; died 105 ; killed 11; eseaped 66; remanded for another trial 1. During the year ending November 1, 1330, there were received 464; recaptured 2; discharged 325; pardoned 40; died 35; killed 1; escaped 135. This left re- maining November J, 1830, 993 convicts of which 301 were in the penitentiary ; 307 on the Western North Carolina Rail- road; 10 0n the Georgia Railroad ; 245 on the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad ; 55 on the University Railroad, and 26 on the Jones and Onslow Rail- road, Of the 993 convicts in the penitentiary and on the roads on the Ist of Novem- ber, 113 were white males; 8380 colored males; 2 white females; 43 colored fe- males. Asamatter of curiosity we give the condition of 464 convicts received last year: Two hundred aud three were mar- ried, 252 single, 2 were widows, 9 wid- owWwers,. The greatest number of prisoners in the penitentiary and on the roads at one time durivg the past two years was 1,135, and the smallest 992, which was in October, 1880. The net expenses of the prison proper for the two years ending November Ist, 1880, were $108,518,13. This ineludes buildings, ete. The building account was $15,880, 16. +e An interesting decision has been ren- dered in the District courts touching the liability of married women whose hus- bands have deserted them. A German woman named Gebaur brought an action against another German woman, named Reimuth, to recover @400 lent the de- fendent on condition that she would pro- vide the plaintiff with a home during the term of her life. Becoming dissatisfied, for the reason that she was used asa domestic, the plaintift left the defendant's house, and brought action fur the money lent. On the trinl, question was raised that the defendant, being a married woman, was not liable for the money lent her, but the cross examination de- veloped the fact that her husband had deserted her nine years age, and that she had heard nothing from him since. The court decided that an absence of seven years or more on the part of the husband, with no tidings from him, raised the presumption that he was dead, and that the wife conld act asa femme sole, aud was therefore, liable. The jury gavea verdict for the plaintiffi—Winston Le- publican, APN aE SREY LEY BETES IETS OBITUARY.

The steam- er picked up feur persons (2 Americo Libe- rians and 2 natives) at sea fromthe wreck of one of the boats owned by Messrs. McGill & Bro. of this place, and brotght them home, From the two Americo-Liberians (one of whom was mate of the pnfortunate boat) we gathered the following pyticulars of the disaster: ‘ <& a. Wellnceday, , + for The boat left Monrovia, the 15th inst. 5 o’clock P.- home, with a cargo of-] and a lot of sails, &., from the wrecked fe poeta, has from the first exepeised + Schooner “Lincols ;” and about 89 passen- gers, more than two-thirds of whom were natives, Hon. J. B. McGill, part owner and manager of the business, was himself on board. ; At 4 p.m. on Thursday they anchored at Bassa. Mr. McGill went ashore in the canoe which the boat carried. He soon returned, and they were off again at 6 p.m. The wind being ahead; they stood out tosea. At 10 o'clock there was asquall. The mate sug- gested to the Captain (the latter had never sailed that boat before) that they “shorten sails.” Ie looked around composedly, not seeming to apprehend any danger. After a little while the mate returned to the captain, but he scarccly repeated the suggestion be- fore a gust ef wind struck the boat, and she was capsized. Mr. McGill, Mr. Wood, and others, who were below, immediately sprang out, the water filled in. The consternation was great. All attention was turned to the canve which was adrift. Those who could swim, having hastily tern off their clothes, swam to it but in their efforts to get in swamped it. The captain and most of the crew held to the boat, the canoe having drifted from them before they could get to it. Several of the bushmen whe knew noth- ing about swimming, and two native women who did net get out of the cabin, drowned at once. Of those who were with the canoe a few were expert swimmers, of whom Mr. McGill was one. They made an effort to get the canoe above the water, but others hung on it ia such away that the attempt was fruitless. It being very rough, and the ca- noe altogether at the mercy of the waves, sometimes turning quite over, it was very difficult even to hold on, ' One after another ceased the struggle for life and yielded to theirsad f.te. Mr. Wood was the first to give up. “I have done all that I could,” he said, and was covered by the wares. Messrs. Hunt, Hoady, Turner and some of the natives followed one after another. Daylight breke upon cight of the number still struggiing to keep their heads above the water. No boat, no land, no help, in sight. Another gave out, and received all the assistance that could be rendered him by his companions in misery; but it Was no use, there wes no foot-bold. .He, too, departed. A krooman followed. Six were now left. An equal number of Amer- ico-Liberians and natives. They encouraged each ether, and seemed determined to held oit. Land was new visible,the cufrent drift- ing them rapidly up the coast. Mr. McGill remarked that the steamer was expected, and if they held on she might pick them up. It was observed ‘some time after this, that he seemed to be gettiug weak; when one of them asked him if he was giving out. Tle replicd, “No, I feel hungry, that’s all.” About 4 p.m., the canoe gave a sudden turn and struck him on the head, rose again, He sank, but His exertions now, however, ceased. Yancy (the mate) and Gibsen (a passenger) held lim, one on each side. His head dropped. They saw no signs of life. They could do no more. Ilesank and join- ed the company of the departed. The greedy sea yet claimed another victim. The head krooman reached the utmost limits of his endurance and followed his employer. Shortly afterwards, the steamer was seen coming, heading right to them, though they were not seen, and would likely have been left un-noticed—for their calls were not. heard—were it not that a passenger, sitting on the rails, saw one as the steamer glided swiftly pass, and cried out: “Man over- board!” As soon as possible the ship stop- ped and a boat was sent to them. At 5 p. m., they were on board the steamer, having every attention given to relieve their suffer- ing condition. On Saturday afternoon they reached home. Nothing has been heard of those who were Icft with the boyt. There is no doubt that they were all drowned during the night of the accident. If so, and the number that left Monrovia has been correctly reported, there were 35 lives lost: viz., Hon. J. B. McGill, owner, Capt. Armstrong, James Yancy and R. Henderson, sailors, M. Barnes, cook, Dweh, (native boy) steward, Hon. G. | 8. Wood, Collector of customs for this port, ——Hunt, Charles Hoadly (?)

The pioneer visit to the west ceast of Af- rica was made in 1818, by the missionary, Samuel J. Mills. From this first effort fer the evangelization and civilization of this part of tiie globe, the republic of Liberia has grown. It was at first a coleny formed by Americans for the reception of emanci- pated slaves, and te be an asylum for ne- groes recaptured by American cruisers un- der the law of 1819 fer the suppression of the slave trade. In 1848 the colony was ele- vated inte a distinct republic. From the first it has sustained peculiar and intimate relations with the United States. Her political organization, original- ly modelled after ours, the Vuited States has. also furnished Liberia with systems of mon- ey, weights, measures, and with various e0- cial and civil institutions, and, like a protectorate powers over this sister republic. The treaty with Liberia of 1826, stipulates that the United States shall not interfere between the aboriginal inhabitants and Li- beria, unless solicited by the republic. Four years ago, our government, “solicited by the government of Liberia,” did send a ship of war to assist in suppressing a native revolt. Liberia preper has an area of abeut 10,- 000 sq. miles, and a population which, with that of the Kingdom of Medina, amounts te 1,500,000. The chief commercial products of the country are palm-oil, rice, gum, coffee, dye woods, sugar and ginger. The Senegal and the Niger are the great water-ways that lead into the interior, and attract trade to that part of the weet oaast, of which Monrovia is the chief seaport. With a railroad to the Niger valley, Liberia would command a large share of the com- merce that approaches Africa from the west. An English company have such a road in contemplation. The French have establish- ed commercial communication with the in- terior by way of the Senegal and Niger. Both these powers—England and France —look with wishful eyes on this little ne- public, and would gladly assume its pretee- tion. Liberia, doubtless feels sufficiently protected already, and, at amy rate, the United States, mest likely, would net look on quictly and see Liberia annexed to eith- er of these foreign powers.— African Ecposi- tory. ——_——~<—- The End of the World. Mother Shipton’s Propheey to be Fulfilled this Year. [New York Sun.] The world to an end shall come dn eighteen hundred and eigty-opne. [Mother Shipton’s Prophecy.) It would he difficult to deseribe all the sinister predictions that have, as by com- mon consent, been concentrated upen the year. The soeth-sayers, divivers, oracke- makers, astrologers and wizards seemed to have combined to cast their spell upon it. Superstitious people of every sort, and some who are not williug to adait that they are superstitious, regard the year 1831 with more or less anxious ex- pectation and dread. As the earth, ou New Year’s day, swings out into another round about the sun, it will go to meet a host of evil omens. It will go cursed by theomancy and bibliomancy. Aeromancy aud meterenancy will glare at it from comets and shooting stars. Oneiremancy will intercept its path with visions of evil, and nomancy will shake the ominons, backward-reading numerals 1881” be- fore it It will be beset with scarecrow figures by arithmancy, with menacing phrases by stichomancy. Yet there is ne reason 4vhy persons of good digestion sould not gotosleep on New Year’: n gl t eonfident that after having encountered the average quantity of storm and sun- shine, the one-lerse ball that we call the world will briug them safe through the perils of its five hundred-million-mile Hight round to the starting point again. Timid persons first began to look for- ward with some alarm to the year that is about to open, when, several years ago, the key to the so-called prophetic sym- bolisin of the great pyramid ef Egypt was rade public, backed by the name and reputatiow of the British astronomer, Pi- azzi Smyth. Otlrers, using Mr. Smyth’s observations and measurements, have gone much farther than he did in drawing startling inferences; but no one can read this beck without perceiving how power- fully it must affeet those who have the slightest leaning toward superstition or credulity. Besides, this record of explo- rations and experiences in the heart of Egypt's greatest marvel has all the charm and interest of Dr. Schlieman’s descrip- tions of his discoveries in Homer’s Troy. Such a book could not well be neglected by the world of readers ; and by the na- ture of the humau mind many of its read- era were sure to be imbued with its omi- nous dagmas. So the belief, or at least the suspicion, spread that tho secret eham- bers of the great pyramid, under divine guidance vy the most mystical eharacter in all history, Melchisedek, King of Salem, foretell, among other things, that the Christian era will end in 188]. Mother Shipton’s so-called prophecy fixes upen the same date for the end of the world. The ominous jingle of her rhymes has prohably done at least much to disturb the equanimity of eredulous would quit work as she should at herage ‘persons as the more claborate vaticiua- (61) she would live years 2 mounment to Pad.” See adve;tiseneut. tions of the pyramid interpreters.

(Itis true that several of the ehief plan ets will reach their perihelia withia a few cara, and that it is rare for them to be gr ouped so close together as they will be: st any one time next year. It is alse true that remarkable instances have been ol iserved between the exist- ence of great storms on the sun, that pre- duee electric. il disturbances and pessibly meteorelegic. ul changes upen the earth, and the prese nce of Jupiter near his peri- helion.

Because, they say, the ravages of the black death in the middie ages follc )wed the nearly ceinci- dent perikelia of four great planets, they predict similar conseguences from the configuration of the plauets now.

Man in his »<tural condition is neces- sarily Dserable. He is a social being: aut must be subject to law—in all his functions he must be subject to pro- per restrraints. Government is a¢es- — sential to the well-being of society as breath is to the body. Every man must suirender some of his rights for: the common good, but the govern- +ment when properly constituted i# limited in its appropriations ef the rights of man.

It hasthe unguestione d right to suppress or abridge a w: “ong or a public nuisaree: These positi »ns were well suppo by numerous and strong illustrations. Now as to tly ,intemperate or immod- erate use of intoxicating drink, if it inflicts antold evil on society, society has the right as a matter of law to abolish that evi!. Society and its well-. being under God is omnipotent, andi it has the great rigiit to protect itself. If spirituous liquors derange society and damage everything affected by: it, goverment has not only the right but it is ites highest duty to suppress. it, and, said he, “the government is false to mz and my neighbor and my children if it does not suppress it.” If I murder a man under the inflpeuce of drink Yam under the. the Jaw hung, and yet that law not oa- ly tolerates but sanctions the cause that brought on the murder.

THURSDAY MORNING'S SESSION. The convention met at 10 o'clock, a.m. and was called to order by the president. A resolution offered by Mr. Johnston, of Rowan, on yesterday, was taken up, whereupon Dr. T. E.

AFTERNOON SESSION. The convention met pursnant to ad- jourument and was called to ord er by the resident. Quite a long list of petitions from vari- “gus counties just recived were announc- ed by. the secretary.

The business committee 1-ported tho f : _ following resolutions: Resolved, That this convertion recom- fnend that county prohibiti6v: associations be organized at once in each county to further the work in thei respective coun- . ties by procuring siguers to prohibition ‘petitions, and in such other ways as the - geod of the cause may require, aud that these associations put themselves in im- . qiediate communication vith the central committee in Ralcigh. _ Op motion the resolution was adopted.

The resolutions were fully discussed and adopted seriatim. . Rev.

The president of the convention intro— duced to the audience Rev. Dr. Skinver as the speaker of the evening. The speak- er Jannched ont at ovee boldly into the subject whithout any formal prelimina- acter and capabilities of our vast country, and gave statistical facts bearing on the industries of the country and their con- tributions to its wealth. He came down to our own State and gave facts of a similar character, and then he brought out an array of figures, official figures that be- wilder, if they do not startle the mind. We regret that we have not the space to give the figures so carefully compiled as giving some interesting phases of the question, Addressing himself to the gentlemen of the Legislature, who had honored him with their presence, he discussed dispassion- ately and in a most oonservative spirit the matter of prohibition, a8 sought by its frieuds jin the State. He quoted the high- est legal authorities, giving their decisions on the right and power of a State to con- trol, and, if need be, to suppress the trade. He addressed himself to all the prominent points pra, and Con, iuvolved in the question. He gave a ieiBrd of the pro- hibitory laws and their el ‘ect in the vari- ous States where they exist, arguing that wherever they were adopted that crime and pauperism were greatl y lessened, and prosperity was proportion jtely enhanced. He appealed to the Legislature to pass the law; that public sen fiment would sustain them; pass a law tliat shall bear ou allalike, the rich, the poor, and all posterity would bless their memory. The crowd remained perfectly «puiet through- out the speech, and manife:ited its hearty appreciation of the splendid effort by frequent and prolonged appzause. _ At the close of the speech a collection was taken up and a handsome amount realized to aid in defraying ihe expenses of the work marked out by the convention. A motion requesting of Hon. A. 8. Mer- rimon and the Rev. Dr. Skin per copies of their admirable addresses for publication was unavimously adopted. On motion the convention adjourned sine die. —— “Carolina Watoliman, THURSDAY, JAN. 20,2881.

Whether or not arrangements shall be made with the last named road, the Mid- land, wo understand, will build an air- line from Raleigh to Salisbury, to conncet with the Western North Carolina fail- road, the new link to pass through Ashe- boroand Pittsboro, cutting the counties of Rowan, Randolph and Chatham, and shortening the distance between Raleigh and Salisbury by more than forty miles. The route lies through the most closely settled portion of the Stue, and is unu- sually rich in agricultural and mineral resources, besides possessing extensive manufacturing enterprises and large ac- cumulated czpitai. It is stated that these three counties will grade the road at their own expense, and otherwise aid in the speedy prosecution of the work. The Midland scheme, as now repre- sented, will probably meet with hear- ty endorsement and have the best wishes of all classes in this sectiqn.

The Lutheran church in Rewan county is composed chiefly, but not exclusively, of the descendants of these German settlers who began §to occupy the county about 17435. Fortunately for the history of this people the Rev. Dr. Bernheim, in his book, entitled “HISTORY OF THE GERMAN SETTLEMENTS AND OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH IN THE CAROLINAS,” has gathered up and preserved the traditions and documents that tell the story of their settlement and religious life. The author of these pages had intended that this chapter should be written by a minister or layman of the Lutheran church, but suc- ceeded only in securing a very brief but most interesting Sketch of Organ church by the Rev. Samuel Rothrock. For the general account hie is indebted te Dr. Bernheim’s interesting volume, which has been freely used in composing this chapter. St. John’s Lutheran Church in Salisbury is entitled tothe distinction of being the oldest Lutheran Congregation organized in the Province of North Carolina. In the year 1788, John Lewis Beard, a wealthy citizen of Salisbury, and a member of the Lutheran church, was bereaved by the death of a daughter, and her body was in- terred in a lot of ground owned by her fath- er. To prevent her remains from being dis- turbed by the march of civilization, Mr. Beard executed a deed for the lot, contain- ing 144 square poles, to a body af Trustees ot the Evangelical Lutheran Congregation of the Township of Salisbury, allowing miin- isters of the High Church of England to occupy it, when not used by the Lutherans. Upon this lot, now known as the Lutheran grive yar 1,$or Salisbury Cemetery, the con- cregation seon aiter erected a log church, or block-house. All this was in preparation for some minister whom they expected in time to obtain. Five year’s later, in 1773, the Rev. Adolph Nussmann, a ripe and thoreugh scholar, and devoted and self-sac- rificing christian, was induced te come from Germany to Rowan county. Atter laboring in Salisbury and Organ Church for a short time, Mr. Nussmann removed frem Salisbury and took charge of Buffalo Creek church— St. John’s—in Mecklenburg, now Cabarrus. At the same time that Mr. Nussmann came from Germany, Mr. Gottfried Ahrend came over as schoolmaster. As ministers were much needed, and Mr. Alrend was qua’ ified, he was ordained to the work of tie minis- try in 1775. Ashe preached at Organ church —then called Zion's church—from 1775 to 1785, it is probable that part of his time was devoted to the Salisbury church. In 1785, Mr. Ahrend removed frem Rowan te Lincoln county. Fortwelve years these two Luther- an ministers, with the Rev. Mr. Beuthahn, a Gerinan Reformed minister, labored among the German ;epulation of Rowan, Cabarrus, L n-oln, Catawba, Iredell, Davidson, Guil- f rd, and other counties. At this time the Rev. Mr. Harris, and after him the Rev. Samuel E. McCorkle, was preaching to the Presbyterians at Thyatira, Rev. James Hall in Iredell, and Rev. David Caldwell in Guil- ford. These seven were breaking the bread of life to the thousands of people in this vast region. Soon a ter the arrival ef Messrs Nussmann, land for nearly ei nt years all correspon- dence with the Fatherland was cut off, and the congregations and ministers of Rowan were left to their own resources. No minis- ters, no books, no material aid or sympathy came to cheer them. Besides this, Mr. Nuss- mann was persecuted by the tories, and forced te seek safety by hiding himself in a secure retreat, not far from his residence on Dutch Buffalo. At the close of the war, Mr. Nussmann re-opened correspondence with friends in Germany, and in 1787 the Lutheran church in North Carolina was put into connection with the parent church. A supply of books was obtained frem Helm- stadt, in the Dutchy of Brunswick, and a call fer several ministers to labor in North Carolina was preferred by Pastor Nussmann to Dr. Velthusen. In 1787, the Rev. Chris- tian Eberhard Bernhardt, a native ef Stutt- gard, wassent te Rowan. His first charge was on Abbott’s Creek, Davidson Co., where he labored tor ayear. Heafterwardslabor- ed for several years in Stekes, Forsyth and Guilford counties, and in 1800 removed to South Carolina. The year 1788 was signalized by the arri- val in Rowan of one who may be called the apostle of the Lutheran church in Rowan. This was the Rev. Carl August Gettlieb Storch. He was sent out by the Helmstadt Missionary Society, and was a native of Helmstadt, and educated at the University of that city. Upon his arrival he took charge of the Salisbury, Pine and Organ churclics. The Pine church—now called Union—he soon resigned, and the next year began to preach in the “Irish Settlement,” once a month, for which he was promised thirteen or fourteen pounds, about thirty-five dollars. His salary for the two churches of Salisbury and Organ was eighty peunds, paper money, equal to two hundred Dollars. The fees for funerals and marriage ceremonies averaged one dollar cach, and may have amounted to fifty dollars annually, the whole amounting to nearly $300. With the simple habits of those carly days, and the cheapness of the necessaries of life, this salary of $300 was more liberal than the average minister’s sal- ary of these days. Besides having charge of these churches, Mr. Storch had charge of a small German school in Salisbury, and gave instructions in Hebrew to some pupils in the Salisbury Academy. Whether he re- alized any income from the schools is not known. Not long after this he married Miss Christine Beard, daughter of John Lewis Beard, and lived in the house on the corner of Main and Franklin streets. After this he removed to what is now known as the Chil- son Place, one and a half miles east of Salis- bury. A few years afterward he gave up the Salisbury church, and moved ten miles South of Salisbury, on the New Concord Road, convenient to his three churches, Or- gan, Savitz’s and Dutch Buffalo. Here he spent the remainder of his life. On the 27th of March, 1831, Dr. Storch died, aged near- ly 67 years. His dust reposes in the grave yard of the Organ Church, where a suitable stone marks the spot and commemorates his life and labors, He was a ripe scholar, fa- miliar with the Hebrew, Greek and Latin languages, and it is said that he could con- verse iluently in tive or six dilferent tongues. Abundant in labor, crowned with houors, and rich in the affections of his people, he departed full of faith and hope in the Re- deemer. His long services of more than forty years, including the critical period of his people's transition from the use of the German to the use of the Envlish language, did much to-perserve Lutheranism from de- cay and extinction in Rowan county. It is because of his labors, doubtless, that the Lutherans are, at the present day, equal in numbers to all the other denominations to- gether in this county. Bat to return. A few months after Mr. Storch’s arrival, in 1788, Rev. Arnold Rasch- en, a native of Bremen, was sent to North Carolina by the Helmstadt Mission Society, and upon his arrival, began his labors on Abbott's Creek, now in Davidson county. We may mention in passing, that in 1791 the present massive stone church was ercct- ed for the Organ Congregation, and an Or- gan of excellent quality was built by Mr. Steigerwalt, ene of the members of the church, Asthis ergan was the first and on- ly instrument of the kind in the county it gave the name to the church, which it re- tains to this day. In 1794, the Lutheran Pastors, Nussmann, Ahrend, Roschen, Bernhardt and Storch, or- dained to the werk of the ministry, Robert Johnson Miller, obliging him to obey the “Rules, ordinances and customs of the Chris- tian Society called the Protestant Episcopal Church in America.” This was a singular preceeding, but the request was made by Mr. Miller, and a congregation in Lincoln county, which desired his services, and it is said was counselled by the Presbyterians. Mr. Miller afterwards seught and obtained Episcopal ordination at the hands of Bishop Ravenscroft. : The number of Lutheran ministers in North Carelina was reduced by the death of Mr. Nussmmann jn 1794, the removal of Mr. Bern- hardt to South Carolina in 18G0, and the re- turn of Mr. Roschen te Germany the same year. Dr, Storch was however re-inforced by the Rev. Adam N, Marcand, who became pastor of St. John’s church, Cabarrus, in 1797. He however remained but two years. In 1861, the Rev. Philip Henkel, from Vir- ginia, took charge cf the Guilford pastorate, Thus far the church seems to have depended upon foreign supplies fer the pulpit. Buta change was taking place that looked to- ward a home supply. On the 2d day of May,1893,the Rev. Messrs. Gottfried Ahrend, Robert J. Miller, C. A. G. Storeh and Paul Ifenkel with a number of elders and deacons, met in Salisbury and formed the North Car- olina Synod of the Lutheran Churel. From this time the work went on inore systemati- cally, From the Annual Report of the Rev. Paul Henkel, in 1806, we learn the state of the church in N. C, at that date. In Orange and Guilford counties there were three Lutheran churches and one “joint” church—that is Lutheran and Ger- man R: formed—served by Philip Henkcl. In Rowan, east of the Yadkin, there were three “joint,”and one Luthera™, -hurches,ser- ved by Rev. Paul Henkel, aicerwards by Ludwig Markert. In the vicinity of Salis- bury three strong Luthcran churches enjoy- ed the ministry of the Rey. C. A. G. Storch for nearly twenty years. This report repre- sents that about twenty years previous to that time there had been a tolerably strong German Congregation in Salisbury, but as the German people and their language were changed into the English, the German wor- ship soon became extinct. The three strong churches mentiened in the Report, were, doubtless, the Pine Church—now Union— the Organ Church, and Savitz’s—now Luth- eran Chapel—once called t!: ment. The Report goes on tu state that near Buffalo Creek, Cabarrus, there is one of the strongest Lutheran churches, served by the Rev. Mr. Storch. About cighteen miles west of Salisbury—I suppose near the pres- ent Troutman’s Depot—there was another Lutheran church, Also in Lincoln county there were eight or nine German Congrega- tions, mostly “joint,” served by the Rev. Mr. Ahrend. There were churches also in Wilkes, Stokes and other counties. In 1805 the Synod ordained Philip Hen- kel to the full werk ef the ministry, and licensed John Michael Rueckert and Lud. wig Murkert. Ata meeting of the Synod, Oct. 22, 1310, held at Orza. Church, there | Lentz); Jacob Benz, (Bentz); Georg Eckel, trish Settle-¢80d W. H. Cone, from Jan. Ist, 1869 to Jan. while at the same time he was a Lutheran minister and pastor of several Lutheran churches. These excussble. irregularities, such as the ordination of Miller and Scho- ber, give evidence of a fraternal feeling be- tween the different churches of that day, and became necessary becattse of the great scarcity of laborers inthe whitening harvests on all sides. At this same Synod of 1810 Jaceb Scherer, and Godfrey Dreher were licensed, and the limited license of Catechets, Rueckert and Jacob Kreison were renewed. Twenty-three churches were reported of which three were in Rowan. ; In 1811, the North Carolina Synod, en- dued with the true spirit:ef missions, sent out several exploring missjonaries to learn the condition of the Lutheran congregations in South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Ohio. The Rev. Messrs Miller, Franklow and Scherer were the Misionaries, and they travelled and preached the gospel in distant regions. In 1813, David Henkel, J. J. Schmucker and Daniel Moser were licensed to preach the‘gospel. In the year 1814, it is estimated that there were twenty-one min- isters in the Synod of North Carolia, in- cluding those laboring in Seuth Carelina, and eighty-five in the whete United Statcs. The remainder of the history of the Luth- eran church, so far as there sketches propose to give it, will be found ina brief and inter- esting accouut of the Organ church, prepar- ed by its present pastor, the Rev. Samuel Rothrock, te which will be added a sketch of St. John’s Chure!:, Salisbury, since its ie organization, and a general statement as to the ministers, churches, and number of Com- municants as they now exist. ORGAN EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CNURCH. Thefirst organizationef acongregation at this place dates back more than a century. The eriginal members were Germans, few in number, but devotedly sttached to the church of their choice. The services, and records in the church-book, were all in the German language. From the German church- book, which is well preserved, we gather the principal items in relation to the history of this congregation. The following isa translation frem the records of the church- boek, and in the translation the German or- thography of names is preserved, and the present English orthography thrown in parentheses. A TRANSLATION, In the year A.D, 1774, the following mem- bers of our congregation cemmenced to build the so eslled Organ Church, viz: George Ludwig Siffert, (George Lewis Sifferd ; Wendel Miller; Peter Edclmann, (Eddleman); Johannes Steiverwalt, (Jolin Stirewald); Philipp Gruss, (Philip Cruse): Peter Steigerwalt, (Stirewald); Michael Guthmann, (Goodman); Christoph Bless, (Christopher Pless; (Leonhard Siffert, (Sif: ferd); Jacob Klein, (Cline); Anton J. Kuhn, (Anthony J. Koon); Georg Heinrich Berger, (George Henry Berger); Christoph Guth- mann, (Christopher Geodinan); Johannes Rintelmann, (John Randleman); Johannes Eckel, (John Eagle); Bastian Lenz, (Bostian (George Eagle); Franz Oberkirsch, (Francis Oyercash); Johannes Jose, (Jolin Josey); Heinrich Wenzel, (Ilenry). A majority of the aforementioned mem- bers united in the year 1772, and resolved to solicit for themselves a preacher and schoolteacher from the Hanoverian Consis- tory in Germany. For in their time, North Carolina, tegether with all the other now free American States, were under the king of England, who was likewise Elector of Hanover. Christoph Rintelmann (Christo- pher Randleman) and- Christoph > Layrle (Christopher Lyerla) were sent to London as deputies from the congregation, from which place they journeyed to Hanover, and through Geetten, the counsellor of jthe Con- sistory, obtained a preacher and school- teacher, viz: as preacher, Adolph Nussman, and for school-teacher, Gettfried Ahrend. Both arrived safely in America in the year 1773. At this time there was hut one com- mon church for Reformed and Lutherans equally, the so-called Hickeri (Hickory) Church. One year the now preacher preach- edin this church, but some disharmony arose, and a majority of the Lutherans re- solved to build for themselves an own church, and thus originated Organ Church. But before this church was built, Nussman left the congregation and devoted himself to Buffalo Creek. Whereupon, the congrega- tion, which befere had ene church and one scheol-teachcr, but now no preacher, pro- cured the aforementioned Gottfried Alirend to be erdained to the office of preacher in the year 1775. He served the congregation till 1785, when he devoted himself to Cataw- ba River, residing in Lincoln county till the close of his life. For twe years Nussman served the congregation aguin, but left the church for the second time. From 1787 to 1788, the congregation had no preacher. Gottfried Ahrend came ence in a while. In 1788, at the desirc and petition of Nussman, a preacher, viz: Charles Augustus Gottlieb Storch, was sent from Germany, who, ac- cording to Nussman’s assignment, was to go to Sunking Quarter, in Orange county. Va- rious circumstances transpired, that he did not wish te go to Stinking Quarter, but re- solved to takecharge of the congregation at Organ Church and the ene ja the town ot Salisbury. Ile entered his services in the former on the 26th day of October, 1787, id est, the 23d Sunday after Trinity, and in the town the 2nd Sunday of November, id est, the 24th Sunday after Trinity in the same year. The congregation at Organ Church promised their preacher a yearly salary of Forty Pounds, North Carolina currency. The number of these who subscribed to the salary, as well as to the new church regula- tions ajounted te 78 persons, The new church regulatious referred to above, were very concise and whelesome in their nature, were introduced and adopted on the tirst day of January, 1789, are upon record in the church-book, but are not here translated. The following ministers have been the successive pastors of Organ Church : Rev.

Though this was the eldest Lutheran Church in North Carolina, there was for a considerable period such a decline as almost amounted to extinction. Still there were Lutherans here, and they owned a let and building that were used by occasional mivis- te.s of their own faith, as well as by other ory Scent ena er organize the oe ee a 20, 1922, and was owing persons, viz: John Beard, Sr., Chas.

About this time a fence was placed around the grave yard, which had lain for some time im a ne- glected condition. In 1825, the work of re- organization was begun again, and Messrs. Jobn Beard, Sr., George Vogler and Moses Brown were elected elders, and Messrs. Na- than Brown, George Fraley and Henry C. Kern, deacons. During the following year —1826—the church was successful in its efforts to secure the Rev. John Reck et Maryland as pastor. He found but fourteen members at his-arrival; but the mext year there where thirty members in full commun- jon. Mr. Reck remained with the church five years and his labors among them were greatly blessed. In 1831, the pastor resign- ed and returned to Maryland. “After this time the congregation had such acentinued and rapid succession of ministers, besides having been at times unsupplied with the stated means of grace, as not to be enabled to command the influence which the regular ministrations of a permanent pastor might have given it.” : The following roll of its pasters is made up, paitly from the pages of Dr. Berheim’s History, and partly trom the recollection and memoranda of Mr. B.

It to these nineteen we add the names of Nussman, Ahrend and Storch, we have a succession of twenty-two ministers that have served this church during the one hundred ond nine years of its existence, an average of one minister for every five years. The church now numbers one hundred and fifty- two members, and it has been greatly strengthened in members and in resources within the last dozen years, THE PRESENT CONDITION of the Lutheran Church in Rowan county—its churches, ministers and membership—as gathered from the Minutes, is as follows: The Rev. Samuel Rethrock’s charge, Or- gan Church and Ebenezer, has 300 members. Rev. W. J. Smith’s charge, St. John’s, Salisbury, has 152 members. Rev. W. A. Lutz’s charge (in Rowan), St Enech’s Church, has 303 members. Rev B. L. Brown’s charge, Lutheran Chapel, Centre Greve and St. Paul’s, has 486 members. Rev. R. L. Brown's charge, Union and Christiana, has 240 members. Rey. H. M. Brown’s charge. Bethel and Christ's Church, has 115 members. Rey. V. R. Stickley’s charge, St. Luke’s, Salem and Grace Church, has 181 members. Rev. J. A. Linn’s charge, St. Peter's, St. Matthew's and Luther's Church, has 350 members. Rev, Whitson Kimball’s charge, (in Row- an) St. Stephen's and Gold Hill, has 150 members. The whole making nine minis- ters, nineteen churches, and 2,277 commu- nicants. To this may be added, the Rev. J. C. Moscr, a member of the Tennessee Lutheran Synod, and his three churches—Mt. Moriah, ot. Marks and Phanuel--embracing 175 members. The whole summing up 10 min- isters, 22 churches and 2,452 members. Ac- cording to these statistics the Lutherans have mere ministers in Rowan than the Presbyterians, Methedists, Episcopalians and Missionary Baptists combined, and probably nearly as many churches and com- municants as all the other whitechurches in the county. In fact a large part of the strength of Lutheranism in North Carolina is concentrated in Rowan county. MARRIED. By Rev. W. H. Cone at the residence of the same in Rowan County, Jan. 12th, Mr. John D.

Nothing, as it seems, there of notable goodness or beauty. A very little strength, and a very little tall- ness, and a few delicate long lines melting in a point—not a perfect point neither, but blunt and unfinished, by no means a creditable or apparently much-cased for example of nature’s workmanship, made only to be trod- den on to-day, and to-morrow to be cast into the even—and a little pale and hollow stalk, feeble and flacid, leading down to the dull brown fibres of reots. And yet, think of it well, and judge whether of all the gorge- ous flowers that beam in summer air, and of all strong and goodly trees, pleasant tq the eye or good for food— stately palm and pine, strong ash and oak, scented citron, burdened vine— there be any one so deeply loved, by God so highly graced, as that narrow point of feeble green. And well does it fulfill its mission, Consider what we owe merely to the meadow grass, to the covering of the dark ground by that glorious enamel, by the compan- ies of those sott, and countless, and peaceful spears. ‘The fields! Follow forth but for a |:ttle time the thoughts of all that we ought to recognize in these words. A/l spring and summer is in them—the walks by silent scent- ed paths, the rest in noonday heat, the joy of herds and flocks, the power of all shepherd life and meditation, the life of sunlight upon the world, falling in emerald streaks, and falling in soft blue shadows, where else it would have struck upon dark mould or scorching dust. Pastures beside the pacing brooks, soft banks and knolls of lowly hills, thymy slopes of down, overlooked by the blue line of lifted sea, crisp lawns, all dim with early dew, or smooth in evening warmth of barred sunshine, dinted by hagpy feet any softening in their fall the sound of loving voices—all these are summed in those simple words: and these are not a!l. Go out in the spring time among the meadows that slope from the shores of the Swiss Jakes to the roots of their lower moun- tains. There, mingled with the taller Gentians and the white Narcissus, the grass grows deep and free ; and as you follow the winding mountain paths, beneath arching boughs, all veiled with blossom—paths that forever drop and rise over the green banks and mounds sweeping down in scented un- dulation steep to the blue water, stud- ded here and there with new-mown heaps filling all the air with fainter sweetness—look up toward the higher hills, where the waves of everlasting green roll silently into their long in- lets among the shadows of the pines ; and we may perhaps at last know the meaning of those quiet words of the 147th Psalm: “He maketh grass to grew upon the mountains.”—John Ruskin. oe Signs of the Times. Not only in Nerth Carolina but throughout the South, aye, and the North, the people are being aroused to the necessity of a step to the terri- ble moral and physical evils which inevitably follow in the train of Al- cohol. The mayor of Philadelphia has enforced the law, absolutely clos- ing all saloous and grogshops ou the Sabbath, and with the result, of course, of diminishing the number of arrests on that day. Arkansas wants x prohibition law. The State Tem- perance Convention of West Virginia met in Parkersburg on the 15th of December Just. The object of this meeting was to inaugurate such plans us seem Necessary to secure an amend- iment to the constitution of that State that will forever prohibit the manu- facture and sale of intoxicating li- quors within the bouads of Virginia. At this meeting the fact was stated that thirty-seven of the fifty-four counties in the State refuse licenses to meu to sell spirituous liquors as a beverage. Resolutions favoring State prohibition were adopted. About one hundred delegates were in attendance, and the temperance work in West Virginia has received a grand im- petus. We should have mentioned previously the good work which Bishop Keane is doing, or has done, in securing the closing on the Lord’s Day of the liquor shops owned or controlled by Roman Catholics in Richmond, V2. Our own State prohibition move- ment, se fur as our observation goes, In Wilming- ton the movement is almost volcanic in its suddenness. A few weeks ago , moves on glorieusly. it secued us if there was no bearing, up against the tide of intemperance. At that time there was a deep under- needed only the occasion for its maai- festation. The eagerness with which the call for the passage of a prohibi- tory law is signed is astonishing. All religious denominations, all national- ities, all colors and conditions of men favor it. Meetings of the friends of prehibition have been called for Tues- day night, 4th inst., (we write before it is held) at the Opera House for white persons, and at the City Hall for our colored citizens. A number of speeches will be made and dele- gates appuinted, by each of these as- semblies, to the State convention at Raleigh on the 12th instant. The feeling is that something must be done, and something that will eradicate the evil. In every city, town, village, hamlet, cross road, where the effort has not been made to get the voice of the people, let there be an effort atonce. ‘There is no time to he lost. The prohibition movement, as thus far developed, is entirely independent of politics, and it is safe to say thet neither political party could de a worse thing fer itself than to place itself in opposition to the measure. —WN. C. Presbyterian. ee eee ee Rev. Mr. Ware, a member of the Detroit Methodist Episcopal Confer- ence has been deposed because he does not pay his debts. Which we must say we consider a step in the right direction provided also every member who subscribes to Mr. Ware’s salary and failed to pay was disciplined for non-payment of debt. However this may be we take this incident as the text fora brief homily. There are, we fear, a large number of consciences which are very lax in this matter of debt-paying. Accounts are heedlessly entered at the stores and debts in- creased without reflecting where the pay is to come from and when a set- tlement is asked four, lo! the dcbtor awakens to the fact that the money is wanting wherewith to meet the obli- gation, This destroys character in business circles and though the effect is not so apparent, it destroys reputa- tion and also character in religion.— What will the business men of the world think of the piety of a man who contracts and piles up unpaid and unpayable debts? They consid- er it a matter of the commonest hon- esty among themselves to meet obli- gations and they brand the man who fails. Is religion te be less honest than business? Is the prefessing Chris- tian to be behind the mere moral man of the world? The type described is guilty of two evils. They virtually steal, for they take another’s goods without equivalent, and they vi-tually lie, for in procuring goods on credit there is involved an implicit promise of pay. Surely a professing Chris- tian ought to be au honest and truth- ful nian, There is cause to fear that this laxity brings religion into great disrepute among honest and upright They ask sneer- ingly what is the worth of a religion that will not even lead a man to pay an honest debt? And echo answers, what ?—WN. C. Presbyterian. We have told it before—we will tell it again: men of the world. More han tfurty-five years ago we heard a Lutheran preacher’s sermon in this town on the duty of paying debts, the conclusion of which struck like the ery of fire. He had summed up the proofs from the Bible, and then pitehed his voice a few keys higher, as he exclaimed, “No, brethren, the man who lives careless of debts le has made and dying in that condition, will wake up in hell.” eee “There is no difficulty in the verse you quote; “No man can come unto Me except the Father which hath sent Me draw him,” except as to the word “can.” No man can come to Christ without feeling willing to come, for willing is coming. But is a sinner ever willing to come to Christ unless God makes him willing? It is a ter- rible mistake too often made, that coming to Christ is something beyond a real willingness. something to do, in this case, but something to be. Heartily to desire to be at Jesus’ feet, is to be there.” -e- Coming is not If children have two ears that they may hear much and say little, adults have two ears that they may hear both sides befure they judge. “You ask me if everything seems to go wrong with me sometimes?

There is nothing that honest men de- sire more than to understand that mysterious race that is so like them and yet so unlike, who shares their homes but not their thoughts, who are so shrewed, so practical and so ir- rational. The poor men yearn te break down the invisible barrier and see into the real life of those they love so well; but the leved ones smile and chatter and say sweet things, and pret- ty things, and ingenious things, and things they have borrowed from men and improved in the borrowing, but never one word of the real thoughts that are working in their busy brains. So the men flatter and lie because they think the women like it, and the wo- men accept it all because they think it is man’s nature; and the men think the women are empty-headed angels ; and the women thiak men are fine in- telligent brutes ; and the classes go on loving and despising one another ac- cordingly, and all for the want of a truthfulness in conversation. a OO OS RaiLroap Coystruction Durina 1880.—The Railway Age presents a track actually laid down in the Uni- ted States during 1880.

It is believed to have been written by De Foe, who was interested in one of the commis- sions sent to England to represent the case of the Dissenters in Carolina, who were then greatly oppressed, contrary to the intent of the charter granted to the Lords Preprictors.— News & Obs. == s Advancing, BY THE REV. CHARLES F, DEEMS, D. D. We need more positiveness. We need the hadit of standing by the things that are settled. To that end each man needs to have some tiings settled for himself. Then, when they ave settled, Le must cling to them, and not to things which are still in question or in doubt. The trend of modern thonght and ex- pression demands attention to this mat- ter. The fashion of thought of late seems to be to regard him the most advanced thinker who has thoughtout the very least. Meu’s abilities have been measured, not by what they know but by what they do not know ; not by what they believe, bat by what they donbt, harangues on the difficaliies which exist in matter and iuamind will attraet atten- tion and elicit applause, while a teacher who instructs in what is not diffi¢ult to comprehend, bat which is of inestimable value in practical lite, is regared as dull and wnadvanuced, This caut of “advanced” thinkers is leading multitudes into bogs, into impen- etrable forests, into pitfalls. Men must “advance !” A speaker who -_— <p —_- GLADSTONE ON THE Trisu DisTURBANCE. —Gladstene in reply to a delegation of members of the House declared that to give a specific form to existivg evils was the first step in dealing with the Jand question. Remedial measures must come after, It was explained on the part of the deputation that 56 Liberals shared their views and many English and Scotch mem- bers expressed sympathy therewith. The members of the deputation dwelt ou the necessity for the adoption of their pro- gramme. They said if sucha measure Was passed the tenants, geverally, would be satisfied and the agitation would sub- side. They insisted that a general feeling of insecurity prevailed among the tenants under the existing state of things and that the great majority of landlords would accept their programme. Gladstone re- plied that the great ebject of the govern- ment was to prowote the welfare of the tenants without inflicting injustice on any other section of the pnblie. TRUSTEES SALE REAL HSTtALE!

There was a rat who learned to read, and had | 4 thoughtful mind— To science and philesophy his tastes were | ‘ all inclined ; ot novels, news, and ities, a thought agen vain. iis Hescorned all tales of scandal, Josh Billings, | and Mark Twain; > _ And even the last dispatches frum the bloody fields of war To him ‘were dull and stupid as the jokes on | mother-in-law, The books‘he took delight in were written by wise Men, sir; For Darwin was his favorite, and next was Herbert Spencer. | Of these he read, on these he thought, and | like he pondered eet tha maystery , _ Of the struget fice in the “realms | | nen 4 “iMtoces How hoofs and claws, and wings and tails, by use are slowly gained— | Races on each ether preying till a balance is | maintaind; | The survival of the fittest, and, since first the world began, | The gradual development of monad,monkey, man, | He pondered deep, he reasoned well, and : then he plainly saw ‘That rats and mice are rats and mice, bat by | this simple law : | Tis the cats that prey upon them from youth | to hoary axe, ; That have checked their onward progress in the rat-and-mousey-stage ; ‘And ceuld the cats be rid “of, again their | race might grow, | As the avalanche develops from the rolling | ball of snow. So he called @ grand convention of the rats and of the mice, And, having them assemb! them his advice: “Come hither, all ye mice and rats, | Whospend your lives in fear of cals, | And listen to a plan I’ve got, | By which we may exalt our lot: Just let us get a little bell | And tie it round each cat’s neck well; : Ther we can hear them when they're coming And run into our holes a-hnmming. Then when cats can’t catch rats to eat They'll soon find ont that grass Is sweet ; | OW hen they eat grass they i de ose their claws, | And hoofs will grow out on their paws; | Their feline teeth will soon drop out, And in their place incisors sprout, And when they’ve eaten it a heap | ‘They all will turn to little sheep. | Then no more cats will be so nice | Por all as little rats and mice 3 | | ed, thus he gave Kur, as is well known to youall, IVs living in holes that keeps us small ; Bat then we all may take our ease | And five about just where we please, And ?tisas plain as any figger We all will grow a great deal bigger; In faet, f think there is no reason We may not grow a foot each season, Thus, fast acquiring size and strength, We'll eat those mutton-eats at length, And, living baton blood and brains, As lions do, we'll all have manes, And grow so fleree and carni-veer-ous Yaat even men themselves will fear ux ; | For if, in spite of all the cats, | Vhere are so many mice and rats, | Pis plain we all are Htted for Great Natiie’s internecine war; | And may, if once we turn the scales, Develop to the size of whales. So do not dgubt me by a look, For all is proved in Darwin’s book. It only needs to bell the cats— j The rest wiil follow—bet your hats.” Then rose an old grandfather rat, whe list- ened with attention: “Let unanimous approval be the sense of | this convention. Heaven bless our fellow-rodent, who, with super-rat ambition, Has solved the problem how we may exalt our lew condition, And circumvent the feline race, and make it | come to pass | That, like Nebuchanezzar, they shall all be sent to grass. Sure our children in his honor many monu- ments shall raise, And our sculptors sculp his image, and our focts sing his praise ; And children shall be named for him like sands alone the seas— More numerous than George Washingtons, and likewise Robert Lees. Meanwhile the crowning glory that a mor- tal rat can ask, To put the oe upon the cats, shall be his valiant task Then the learned rat looked thoughtful, bat | a wild hurrah arose, " atify this pleasant scheme of vengeance | on their foes; When, midst their loud rejoicings, alas! it must be told, A cat sprang in upon them, likea wolf upon | the fold. | Fast for their holes they scam percd, but, ah! | she was too quick ; | She lit upon that learned rat, like many a | hundred brick. Oh, fearful cat-astrophe! oh, luck! His fate was as the June-bug’s o’ertaken by | the duck. Then the hall was all deserted in the twink- | of an eye, And thg rat and mouse conventien stoed adjourned sine die. PTS ES PE Letter from Rev. John W. Davis. | | The following letter was written for the | Orphan's Friend at Oxford, and published in that journal some weeks ago—but it will our little frjends as havenot herctofore read it: Soocuow, Cra, Serr. 6, 1880. Master Jno Weo-lell—My dear Young Friend: I like very much to get letters, and I sup- pose that you do too, I know about the Asylum, for I read the Orphan's Friend, and mine, to send me the names of seme of the boys in the Asylum. Among others she sent me yours, and I now write youa letter. Iam a missionary in the city of Soochow, China. This is a very large city, and there are as many people in Soochow and the villages within ten miles of the city, as there are in the whole State of North Carolina. There are thousands of little boys and girls in Soochow. The boys ge to school, and most ef them study pretty well. Each boy isa class by himsc]t, When he recites his lesson fatal turn of prove iuteresting and instructive to such of Lasked Miss Anderson, who is a friend of j te stands up with his back to his seaside, 1 80 that he can not see the beok, and says his lesson very fast. If hé ean not sey it, the teacher tekes his hand and strikes him iu the palm with araler. Sometimes the boys will not study, and then the teacher makes ‘them go to a corner and kneel down and | stud ys, The boys all study aloud, .and it is a wortder to me that they de not wear their throate eut. If they are qniet the teacher raps onthe table and says a few words to them, and then they Il yell outas loud as the¥ can for about five minutes. Some of the boys-are very sensible, and study with- out being whipped. The way we mission-) aries in China do is te employ a teacher for $5 a month to teach the children their les- fs sons, and we exaniine them: occasionally to see that they are learning, I have several boys and @-few girts in my” schoof who att ways know their lessons, and when prizes _ are offered they always get them. They re- | peat whele chapters of Matthew or Mark, | and say their catechism lessons without miss- ing anything. It is a great pleasure for me to hear them. They hAve a great many very strange notions, They think that every m#n has three souls and six ghosts. Yesterday one of the boys in my school said, “My : brother is sick.” ‘What is the matter with him?” ITasked. “He las ague,” he replied. Then he said very emphatically, ‘He has been frightened. “What?” Who frighten- ed him?” said I. Then the teacher said, “He means that he was startled a few days ago, and one of his souls jumped out of him.” The Chinese often go avd call the souls to ceme back, for if they do not, then the sick person must die. They do not know that each human being has one soul; nor do they know how precious that soul is, and they know nothing of Jesus and salvation for sinners, I have been here seven years and Tam glad that came. The people call me bad names when I have passed by and they are behind my back. They do not care for the “ospel, because they do not know the nced of it, and sometimes I feel badly, It is discouraging in some respects to be the first missionary in a heathen city, for Imust laber long before seeing the fruit of my la- but I never did regret coming to Gina. When vou grow up to be a man you must do something to send the gospel to the heathen. Remember this messsge that I send you from this far-off land—if you try to give the gospel to the heathen you will never regret it. If you waste your time now you bors ; will be sorry for it some day; if you do not become a christian you will be sorry for that on the judgment day; but you will never + be sorty for any earnest prayerfal effort you } may make to send the Knowledge of Jesus to the heathen, The little Chinese boys like to play just as you do. But they have few games. They fly kites and. roll cash, play soldier, spin tops, and they often quarrel; they do not fight very much. ‘“IIow do they roll cash?” you ask. <A cash is a piece of brass er cop- per money. A dollar is worth 1120 cash, The boys set up a brick slanting, and’ hold the cash so that it may drop with its sharp edge on the brick and roll off. He whose cash rolls farthest wins the game. Seme times they throw the cash with its flat side against the wall, so as to make it bounce off. He whose cash bounces farthest has the game, There are all sorts of boys in Soo- chow. Some are very clean and nice look- ing—nearly white; others are ragged and dirty, and their faces are yellow, and some of them almost brown. There are many temples in Soochow that have idols in thém, and the people go and bow down before them and knock their foreheads on the floor. They generally put some sticks of incense or a lighted candle before the idol, and then bew down and pray. Sometimes a rich Chinaman or a rich woman will spend $500 at a time in worshiping idols. Much of this is given to the priests to use in repairing the temples, or in repairing the idols. Some et the id@ls are as big as an elephant; some the size of your little finger. There are 20 or 30 shops in Soochow where new idols of all sizes are made. Idolatry has a powerful hold on China. Don’t forget that as long as you live. Are you willing to go through life without trying to do something to make the heathen give up their idols and worship the true God? You can pray if you can not do anything else. I send you a cash; the letters on it say that it was made in the time of Emperor Kien Loong, from 1736 to 1769—60 years. itis to allow it to be strung on a string. That is the way they carry their cash; they put on 100 and then tiea knot. A full string has ten hundreds. Your unknewn friend, Joun W.

In virtue of the elaborate statistical statement resulting iu census to which the German Empire has recently been subjected, Berlin is now entitled to take the third place in the list of Euro- pean capitols, as far as the.number of her inhabitants is concerned. The old Prus- sian Residenz, which has become the cap- itol of United Germany by the force of circumstances rather thau through any special Titness for that supremely influen- tial position, has nearly doubled her pop- ulation within fourteen years, and is at the present moment, roughly speaking, the dwelling-place of eleven hundred thousand human beings. In many re- specta, however, the moral and_ physical ! condjtjoy ef its designs are sadly in ar- frou ago, in the course highly instructive: Social Science} €euncillor Starke ¢ drew his hearers’: to several amazing facts relating to the: permanent and floating criminal population, as well as to the every day life ofthe lower, mid- dle, and working classes, Javenile crime would appear to be terribly prevalent in!

The j Berlin Society for the Redemption of Ju- venile offenders is unable to spend mere than a hundred a-year upon the objects | for theachievment of which it was found- | ed, whereas a similar association in New York is in a position to devote one mil- lion dollars annally to these purposes. Half the entire population of Berlin is lodged in dwellings possessing only one fire-place ; aud no fewer than three thou- sand two hundred and thirty-nine sets of apartments, totally forlorn a-like of fire- place and chimney, are ocenpied by fami- lies in huinble circumstances. Dr. Starke draws an appalling picture of the immor- ality characterizing the lower classes of Berlin society, and depressing effect upon the public mind, as mirrored in columns of the German daily press. Mayence, one of the quietest old forti- fied cities in Southern Germany, las scel- dom of late years witnessed such a scene of popular excitement as that which took place within its precincts on Tuesday, when vast crowds of its inhabitants gath- ered round the station of the Cologne— Diisscldorf Steam Packet Company to watch with eager interest an achievement of mechanical ingenuity vever before per- formed upon the German soil. This was no less a marvel than the removal, by means of an American apparatus, consist- ing of screw-jacks, of the entire building containing the Company’s local offices to a spot some hundred and forty feet from its original site. ‘The station was first raised nearly six feet by the simultaneous action of the screws, then trausferred to a wheeled platform, and finally rolled to and set up apon the rew foundations pre- pared for fts reception. ‘Teeny hole eper- ation was so skilfully and acenrately per- formed that not a siagle pane of glass in any one of the windows was broken, not a casement set swinging on hinges, or a door thrown The station now stands as solidly as though it had been built there, close by the broad stone steps leading down to the Rhine, just above the bridge of boats, where it is destined te remain until the completion of the new iron bridge about to be thrown across the great German rive CW ALS open. MISCELLANEOUS. How our Cities are Growing We have new the returns of the pepu- lation of all our cities which contain ten thousand inhabitants and over. There are 245 such cities, and their total popa- lation in 1880 was 11,100,201. In 1870 we had 184 cities with a popn- lation of ten thousand and over, and their aggregate population was7,672,293. These cities have therefore increased im number 61 within the ten years, and they con- tain 3,427,968 more inhabitants. Our total gain in population since 1370 has been 11,594,183, and nearly a third of this increase has been in the cities. If we included all the municipalities, those of between eight and ten thousand iphab- itantsas well as those of greater size, we should probably find that our total urban population in 1880 was over eleven aud a half millions, and toward three and three-quarters million more than in 13879. This would make the increase in the cities fully one-third ef the whole in- crease of population in the Union. The cities contained about 3,000,000 in 1870, to 11,500,000 in 1880. They there- fore have been increasing in inhabitants far more rapidly than the rest of the country. While the general gain has been only about twenty-five per cent., that in the cities has been about forty- five per cent. . And this growth of the cities at the ex- pense of the country generally has been becoming morked during the whole of the last fifty years. In 1330 our total urban population was only about one- sixteenth of the whole. In 1850 it had grown to be one-eighth. In 1870 it was one-fifth ; and in 1830, out of about fifty millions of inhabitants, more than eleven and a half millions lived in. the cities. If the cities go on incregsing during the next ten years at the same ratio which the last ten years have shown, and the country as awhole advances in pepula- tion at the same rate, we shall find more than sixteen millions in the cities, to about forty-eight or forty-nine millions, in the rest of the country. A like tendency tu build up the towns at the expense of the country appears in the figures we are obtaining of the Ger- man census taken late last year. It isa modern tendency, and shall we not call it a niodern evil likely tohave portentivas consequences ?1— New York Sui. Mr, Jefferson Davis, Navigation of the Yadkin, eee | The subject of the the navigation of the ;tion that has been in practice some "Yadkin river has been again brought up ae the Reidsville Times, whose editor has been interviewing Mr. Frank Brewn on the subject. Mr. Brown gives him this information : “‘Two years ago through Senator Ran- som, Mr. Brown got an appropriation of twenty thousand dollars from the govern- ment to that end, and last seasion an ap- propriation of twenty thousand more was made. Now lie has had one set of work- ing boats made, a derrick boat with a ca+ pacity of lifting three tons, a quarter boat forty-five feet, for the hands te stay in, that will take care of ‘thirty men, stene boats and transfer boats...

Mr. C. B. Philips, of Norfolk Va., is the engineer in charge. This will oper up transportation for hundreds of tons of the sweetest hay from the meadows along the river that now are shut out from market and hay compresses will be put right up. Besides this three cotton factories are al- ready ia progress to be built, and there are of iron, coal, and lime deposits equal to any in Virginia or Georgia. It will set going too a big thing in the barrel stave business.

The South, and indeed the workl will read with interest a work from so Ligh a source, and it will indeed be a val- uable coutribution to history, eman: ating as it does from one so eminently conuect- ed with the greatest revolution of modern times. But shaj! the record of North Car- Olina in that contest be lost? Shall the heroic deeds of her sons perish? Have we not enough of State pride to make the effort to preserve and perpetuate them ? Are net thu’ surviving comrades’ sufi- ciently interested to engage in the under- taking?) The unwritteu history of that war cinbodies those acts of sacrifice, of suffering and of daring that wonld illumi- nate the name of any people with a halo of imperishable glory. . Shall it be eon- signed to the womb of oblivion? can we not devise some method by which a historical orgauization nay be iustitu- ted and established to perform this great and patriotic work? We believe it could aud would be done if the movement were inaugurated. Will not the ex-Confeder- ates of North Carolina enter into the work heartily 2?) We believe they will.

Then, We find in) our esteemed coutem- the Boston Herald, some talk about “ceasing to patronize a news- and also about “newspaper porary, paper,” : ” patronage. It isa stupid phrase. We consider that anybody patronizes a or that do not newspaper when he busy it; the newspaper is under any obliga- tions toany one who either purchases & copy or advertisement. If it isa wise and sound newspaper, the purchaser or the advertiser gets the full value of his money and the account is even between them. which the inserts an The only situation in word patronage can be properly used in such a case, is where the newspa- per is mean and worthless and the man pays for his copy or for his ad- vertisement more than the thing is really worth. In that sort of cireum- stances there may be patronage in the base sense of the word—the sense in which the Herald employs it. The idea of patronage contains in itsomething of servility. It has no place in the American republic. It ought to be repudiated and detested by every self-resj esting newspaper and every self-respecting citizen.— New York Sun. We subcribe to- the doctrine laid dowu by the Sun.

In view of the fact that the average Congressman is continually grumbling at the cost of conducting the affairs of the government, but, with characteristic inconsistency, he never fails to auginent that expense without any compunction, sive on occasions preceeding election, it will not prove wholly uninteresting to note the amount paid fora single item— that of the govérnment priuting office for the past year. For the. last fiscal year the expenses of the printing establish- ment were $2,000,000. This seems a great deal of money to pay for the print- ing and biuding of public documents. Of this amount the Congressional Record cost about $130,000, and the arranging of a particulafly worthless index to the bound volumes of the same has cost $6,000. Each house of Congress orders “additional copies” of pretty much every work which tho Governmeat Printer has been instructed to furnish. That variety of Congressicnal literature known as “the picture-book” class is the most expensive to. the Government. It is that which Cougress orders with the greatest reck- lessness. Henee, the year’s lithographing and engraving hgs cost $340,000, and much of this sum has beer spent in filling orders for additional copies. If the pab- lic documents distributed by Cor gress- men are worth auything to anybody, the recipients of this species of literature should pay the cost of production. If they are of small value, their expensive and gratuitous circulation should be stopped.—Winston Lepublican. _ rr Gen, Stewart L. Woodford, Weted States Attorney for the District of Co- lumbia, in his lecture on “The New South,” in New York, on the 13th, among other things, said: “As to the material resources of the South,” “its States occupy 960,00) square miles, which is more than one-fourth of the area of the United States. From 1860 to 1880 the South has held its own in regard to population, Agriculture is the princpal Southern interest, and there were defects in Southern farm- ing, which were caused by the former system of slavery and expensive meth- ods of tillage. Freedom, however, has brought with it a degree of econ- omy, and the men of the North will be astonished at the wealth which is gradually being developed in that re- The mineral resources of west- ern Virginia, eastern Kansas, eastern Tennessee, the western Carolinas, northwestern Georgia, Arkansas and Mississippi will yet equal those of Pennsyivanta, the great iron producer. fhe colored people of the South are gradually becoming farmers, and the small white farmers are increasing in number.

Mr. Davidson gtid that year after year the west had responded to the people of the east in their ery of negro domination, and vow, when natural causes were at work torid them of that domination, they wished help to restrain them. IIe had neyer been able to see how people complaining of negro rale could be op: posed to the exodus movement. Mr. Williamson, of Edgecombe, said - that he represented a section that wag pe- culiarly interested in the passage of this bill. Was surprised at the position of the Senator from Buneombe, Mr. David- sen. Ifhe took any interest iu the wel- fare of the State, his remarks were very iiappropriate. More than twelve thou- sand able bodied men had leit his section the eastern part of North Carolina, That unless we wished to ruin the growing section, we were bound to use our influence in keeping the negro there. The men engaged in the business of —per- siading off the negroes practiced the great. est imposition upon them. reply tothe Senator from that the east had helped Would ask who had built) the Western North Carolina Railroad? He dtd like the exodus movement ; it would ruin eastern North Carotina. cotton Wonld say in Buncombe, the west also. hot Mr. Spears—It is admitted by all who favor the bill that its tendency is to pre- vent emigration, and if so, tnen its ten- dency is to prevent. the laborer from ex- ercising his liberty to change his place of abode wlrenever Did not care what Georgia had dove. The ques- tion was what was right for North Caro lina? That this was nothing more than a resolution to tax the poor man in favor of the rich, and that at Teast oue name should be recorded against if. he pleeses. Mr. Respass said the discussion had proceeded further than be had expected ; that it was introduced by a man who had always shown a deep interest in the af- | fairs of this State. He was disposed to respect any resoltion inéroduced by hin. The evil sought tobe abated was great. The agents would freqnently come and cause laborers to leave a given section in great numbers atfer the crops were pitch- ed. Itis the duty of the Legislature to protect the citizens of the State. He sxid the bill was not to prevent emigration, but to tax those parties unduly intlaen- cing it; that if the State did not come to the rescue of the cotton district it would cease to pay taxes. The State taxed drammers, why not the turpentine agents? Mr. Oates said that the Inborers were not only carried away, but were brought back in’the winter time; that they left their wives and children behind them to be taken care of by the counties; that they stail away long enough to keep from paying their poll tax ; that the east had already assisted the west aud now ealled upon it for a return. Mr. Bernard said that like all other bills introduced by the Senator from Wayne, it was important to the interests | ef the people. He did not think the Dill was to prevent emigration from the State. The State canpot pass laws upon that subject. The object of the bill is to tax those meu who are yearly making for® tunes by procuring this emigration ; that it was acrying evil in the State. The men thas auduly influenced to leave, left their wives and children to be supperted. The question of education was involved as the bill was not only intended to help the east, but the proceeds of the tax were to go to the schools of North Carolina. The bill-does not strike at emigration or the liberty of any class to go where their interest leads, but it strikes at the specu- lation_in emigration. Mr. Spears thought that the tenor of the bill was to cripple the inducemeut to leave the State ; that the spirit of the con- stitution was violated in tl county gov- ernment law as it now stands; that this bill had the same tendency, the liberty of locomotion being guaranteed in the con- stitution ; that we ought not to admit that North Carolina was vot willing to com- pete with other States iu paying our la- | borers.

The calendar of general orders being the regular order Logan asked nnanimous consent to take up the bill to retive Gen. Grant. Vest objected. Logan then moved to lay aside all prior orders to take up the bill. Bayard suggested the prepriety of de- ferring the consideration of the propesi- tion in view of the probability of early action upon the general measure to sap- ply what he regarded as a defticicuey by providing pensions for our ex-Presideuts. He thought that a provision for the single individual named could be amply covered ina general law. Logan said it was trne the proposition Was an exceptional ove and procecded to show why the bill should be passed. Hill, of Georgia, said he was bot pre- pared to vote on the preposition to-day and would therefore vote agaiust Logan’s DHT, But his inclination was to vote for the bill if he could do so consistent with his seuse of duty to the public. Ie would not do so, however, for the reasen given by Logan ia its favor, After stating what he characterized as Uiree epochs in Amer- ican history, namely: The settlement of the colonization establishment of the con- The! crat,” and: all stigmas, “Bour bow.” Be it sé: Some time age he had seid, im regard to that distinguished persen- age, John Brown, that he thought he had been properly executed at Harper's Ferry, and immediately, many of -the pertizan of the Country undertook te defend every act-ef John Brown's and tostigmatize i'm (Vest) as “disloyal to the government,” though he had only repeated the declara- tion of the Republicam party made in- open convention in 1860, when they stigmatized’ the same man as criminal, No apprehen- son of such abase would deter him from dis- eharging his duty enthis occasion. He kad no hostility towards Gen, Grant, bat was opposed to the bill because he thought there was something else for the representatives. of the people to do than to provide places for gentlemen, nomatter how distinguished, who had taken the chances of political life: Logan expressed his regret that any Sen ator should attribute partisan motives to the proposition, and he said this with great emphasis because it was one which he him- selt had based simply upon Gen. Grant’s distingtished military record. So far as the killed and wounded were concerne?’, the Republican side had tried to do well by | their own, {The remarks of Logan were cut short by the expiration of the morning hour, and the chair, Edmunds, announeed asthe regular order, the Indian land in everalty bill.] Logan then moved to post- pone the pending and prior orders in order 4» proceed,with the Grant retirement bill.

This, he | said, was ata hasty or ill-considered remark. Whatever his merits or demerits, Gen. Grant would take his place in histo- ry as the great representative man of the revolution of 1361, simply because, from the peenliar circumstances that surround - ed bim, he would be regarded as the one man ou cither side of the line without whom that would not have been suppressed. Whether this reason would prompt him (Hill) to sappert Lo- gan’s bill or not, he was not prepared to revolution say. In speaking as he did, he did nat desire to eater to the opposite side of the chamber, nor did his remarks measure, in the slightest degree, any opinion he might entertain of Gen. Graut personally. Vest said he had objected to a consid- eration of the bijl on principle, and he was equally opposed to any legislation on the subject of the kind Bayard. He did not propose to be drag- ged to-day into any partisan discussion in regard to the late war if he could avoid it. Gen. Grant would, Leyoud guesiion, pass into history as the gragt general of lic (Vest) entertained the for that military skill, and disclatined any inten- sigggested by that struggle. greatest admiration General's tion to utter a word agaiust him peison- ally. The Southern people bad in every way evidenced their adiuiration of Grant as a soldier and of the course pursued by him at the close of the war when upon the field of Appomattox he handed back to Robert E. Lee his sword, aud when, after- ward, he went as au agent to the South- ern States and reported to the President the undoubted loyalty and patriotisin of the Southern people, every Southern heart beat with gratitude to him. When a special office was created for him with the rank of General, no Southern man in- terposed a single objection, and when, at Cairo and other points, after visiting eve- ry Souther State, Gen. Grant attested that the people of the South were as loy- al to the constitution and flag as the peo- ple of the North, Southern people again evineed by Joud acclaim, their gratitude for that testimony. But when Gen. Grant deliberatcly left the place provided for him by the representatives of the people, when he entered the arena of partisan pol- ities, whet he took the chances of political life, he (Vest), held that he should stand the hazzard of the die. This, therefore, was no Democratic funeral. It belonged to the Republicau side of the House to provide for their wouuded aud their dead in the late political coutlicts. When the corpse of Gen.

THE INTRODUCTION AND GROWTH Or METHODISM IN ROWAN COUNTY. BY REV. H. T. HUDSON, D. D. The Approach of Methodism into the Rowan Section, Sa In 1780, the Yadkin Circuit was formed, having only 21 members. Andrew Yeargan was the first Circuit preacher sent to this new field. The church records give no clue as to the boundaries of this circuit, but tra- dition says, it embraced Stokes, Davidson, Rowan, then including Davie county, and the Surry regions. About this time the pio neers of Methodism began to preach at ta- rious pots in Rowan. There being no church editices, they were ebliged to preach in private houses, barns, schoal houses, and under bush arbors, In 1788, Yadkin Circuit is reported as having 348 members, a growth of 362 in three years. In 1784, the Salisbury circuit is entered upon the Minutes of the Confer- ence, being organized into a separate pastor- al charge, Jesse Lee being its pastor. Mr. Lee says, he found a “Society of truly affec- tionate Christians,” in the town of Salisbury. When this society waa organized, he does not state, but likely it was formed between the years of 1780 and 1733. Mr. Lee says in his journal; “¥n entermg upon this field of luber, he was yreat- ly encouraged at meeting large congre- gations of anxious hearers at all of bis ap- pointments, Gracious influences attended his preaching ta the comfort of belicvers and the awakining of sinners; his own soui was greatly blessed while striving to bless others.” While preaching “at Hern’s” his burst “into a flood of tears and there were few dry eyes in the house.” “At C.

Byron vives the secular meaning and | is one of the old churches built in the coun }congregation and laid his hand upon the | pastor, presented one pair of secks as the ter’s the hearers were much wreught upon.” “At Cole’s the congregation was so large we had to go under the shade of trecs, and the fricnds wept greatly.” “At Jersey meeting house, Coil. G's wite came to me and began “At Coster’s an old man rose up and spoke ina melting manner with tears streaming trom his eves: Dam almost ready te depart am not ready to die, and you may judge how T feel.” The force and pathetic power of Mr. Lee's sermons may be seen trom these briefextracts from his journal, Only one churel cditice is mentioned—The Jersey mecting louse, located somewhere on the eastern side of The church in which the old pioneers preached in mest, was the tem- ple of nature, Its roof was the blue terma- ment, its floor the green earth swept by the winds—its lamp the radiant Sun—its seats the recks, stumps and logs. The voice ot the preacher mingled with the tree songs of cra « c ‘ and the neighing of horses tied in the bush- es, und the cries of penitent souls. JERE LEB was one of the eminent Methodist pioneers —aman of vigorous though unpolished mind, of rare pepular cloquence and tireless cnerey, an itinerant evangelist from the British province to Florida.” Tle labored us Presiding Elder 85 years--was cltaplain to Congress —the first Methodist American Historian of his church, beszved money in the South to build the first Methodist church in the New Eneland States, where he be- came the chief founder of Methodism. tic asthe peer of Asbury and Ds. Coke in talent and fraitiulness. Ife died gloriously The prominenee of Methodism in Salis he indicated from the fuct that Bishop As- bury preached in that town, 1785, and held two Annual Conferences there—one In 1786, and the other in i¢87—-the first Contercices held in the western part of the State. fovm Hunn followed Mr. Lee on the Salis- in 1785. He was a man of honor of laying the foundation of Method- ism in thisregion. On one occasion, he was invited by way of fun-making to a ball. He went—was invited to dance—he took the floor, remarking: “EL never engage in any kind of business without first asking the blessings ef God, so let us pray.” Down he went upon his knees, and such a prayer roll- ed out from his eloquent lips as sheok the whole party with terror, ‘Phe gay dancers were thunderstruck—-some fied tram the house, others began to pray for mercy. Tull arose from his knees, gave out an appoint- ment to preach there four wecks hence, and quitely retired. When the appointed time cane round, Hull was there and preach- el a most effective scrinon to a large congre- gation, From that prayer in the bad room a wide extended revival began and spread in all directions. INTO DAVIE PART OF INTRODUCTION OF METHODISM COUNTY, WHICIL WAS THEN A ROWAN, “Beale’s Mecting house was probably the tirst Methodist church built in this section. over Hunter Creek. *Tiniber Rridge.’ a school house, located between S:nith Grove and Olive Branch, was one of in Davie county. “Whitaker's Church” also claims to be the first. So the Old) Church four miles east of Mocksville, known as the “Dutch Mecting house” is put down among the first inall that country.” “Bethel Shurch,” first located about a mile cast cf Mocksville, afterwards moved to Mocksville, as Ty. “It isv ary likely that Andrew Yeargan,scnt on the Yadkin circuit, 1780, was the first regular pastor of all that section, known as the Forks of the Yadkin,” and laid the foundation of the churches already men- tioned. At this period the country was sparse- ly settled, the people rude and almost wild as the native deer. At Beale’s church, tra- dition says the preacher growing warm during Ins sermon, walked down into the head of an old man, saying, “My friend, don’t you want to goto heaven?” To which the frightened mana replied: “Man, for God's sake, go offand let me alone; I,don't live about here, I came from away up in the mountains.” At the same: dearch, in 1795, a Quarterly meeting was ica, and to the question : “How much of the preacher's sal- ary has been paid ¢ Charles Leadbetter, the full amount up to that time. Jolin Cooper, Enoch Matson, George Kim- bie, Henry Ogburn, Wm. Connor, Lemuel Green, Barnabas McHenry, followed Year- gan, and did a geod work in establishing Methodism in this section. After these came such men as Reuben Ellis and Joho Tunnel, men of gifts and piety. About this time, James Parks appears as a preacher and teacher. He had charge ef the tirst Methouist school founded in this section, and known as “Cokesburg School.” It was located on the Yadkin river near Phelp’s opened every Monday, Weduesday and | Hie has) church. ‘tablished u schoo. there.

Parks, became one of the whi bite e ministers, wea “of “aah Ma most bril- Hiant pulpit orators of his day, In 1800, Yadkin circuit numbered 479 members, and Salisbury circuit 494-973 in the two. The year of 1799 is famous forthe intreduction and prevalence of Campmeet- ings. They began in the west wnder the united labors of the McGee brothera—one a Metho@ist the other a-Presbytcrian minister. At this date, these mammoth meetings were union meétings of the Methodists and Pres- ‘byterians, Drs. James Hall and L. F.. Wil- son often labored inthem, The first Camp- meétings héld in Davie were in 1805, at Olive Branch Church, and at Walnut Grove on Dutchman’s Creek: At these meetings great revivals broke out and swept over the ceuntry as fire in dry stubble. The result was the membership ef the church grew rapidly, and new church edifices sprang up all over the Yadkin Valley. School houses and a higher grade of civilization followed in the wake of the enlightening Gospel. In 1807, Iredell circuit embracing Iredell co., was set off from the Yadkin and Salisbury circuits, into a new pastorial charge. As the Gospel spread, other circuits were form- ed. In 1831-1833, Stokes, Randolph, David- son and Wilkes circuits were formed. In 1834, Salisbury auct Lexington constituted a pasteral charge, Thalés McDonald being pastor. In 1836, Salisbury was made a sta- tion, R. O. Burton, being pastor. In 1836, Mocksville Circuit ismade—in 1845, Jones- ville circuit was set off—in 1848, Taylors- ville was set off, and in 1850, Forsyth. The formation ef these pastoral charges in- dicates the growth of Methodism in the val- ley of the Yadkiw. Just one hundred years ago, Methodism entered this g-ction and be- gan its work of evangelization with the capital in hand of 22 commenicants and ene preacher. Out of this mustard seed so small in beginning has grown a Gospel tree, whose fruitful branches spread over a lurge scope of country. eine eee THE KERULTS, Salisbury Station Salisbury circuit, Moores- vill circuit, Mocksville and Davie cireuite, Iredell, Alexander.

First, the late Peter Donb, D. D., did more than any other minister to instill) the peculiar doctrines of Methodism into the minds of the people living in: Rowan and Davie county. Efe preached all over this country for many years to vast: assemblics attending the Campmectings and Quarterly meetings. Rev, John Tillett did more than any oth- er man in putting down intemperance and distilleries ia Davie county. Rev. Baxter Clegg was the most useful and successful teacher. Out of his Academy, located at Mecksvil'c, came many useful ministers, lawyers, physicians, and citizens, Mcthod- ism, both in Rowan and Davie is also much indebted to such ministers as: Revs. J. W. Childs, Abram Penn, James Reid, Joseph Goodman, 8. D. Bumpass, William Barring- er, N. F. Reid, D. D.—all gone to their heav- enly reward, and a host of cthers whose names we have not space to mention, Tue MeEtTHopisT CHUURCH OF SALISBURY. The Rev. J. J. Renn, late pastor of the Salisbury M. E. Church writes, concerning its history as follows: The Rev. Peter Doub, D. D., was presid- ing elder in this District during the years, 1825-29. During these four years 2,733 souls were converted af ‘mectings which he held in person, and more than 7000 in the bounds of the district. About that time ministers from both the Virginia and South Carolina Conferences preached occasionally at the Court house in Salisbury among whom were, Moorman, Travis, Tate, Stork, Martin (who issti living in South Carolina,) and others. This with the deep revival influ- | Stochholders and Directors. ence then working, resulted in the building ot a Methodist church in the town of Salis- ; bury. The first Methodist Church in) Salisbury was organized in November 1851, with thir-! zie) of Salisbury, John C. Paliger—now of Raleigh, and James Glever and wife— now of Davidsow county, One name of the others is lost. The rest were Mrs. John C. Palmer, Mrs. Mary Hardy, Miss Margaret oe ae — Samuel Fraley, er Biles, Mrs. Eunice Miss Sarah Bailey. ain anes This Church was in the Virginia Confer- ence—Charles P. Moorman was the first preacher in charge. The first Quarterly Conference was appointed to be held in the Court House in November, 1832, but the Presbyterian brethern kindly offered the use of their church, which was gratefully ac- cepted, and so the first Methodist Confer- ence ever convened in Salisbury was held in the Presbyterian church, presided over By that singular man, “the stern, the inflexible, the devoted, the self- poised, the brave, the witty, the fearless Methodist preacher— Mos:s Brock,” who was at that time presid- ing elder of the District. At that Quarterly Cenference, moncy was raised, anda comfortable wooden church was completed early in the following year, (1833). “With the exception of one year, the church was a part of the Salisbury Circuit, until 1845. In 1834 it was made a station, and served by Rev. R. O. Burton. It then went back to the circuit. During this time (between 1883 and 1845) it had for pasters, Rev. Messrs. T. McDonald, Tinnen,Yarrell. and others. Rey. Thos. 8. J. Campbell trav- elled this circuit in 1835. In 1845, it became a permanent station, with Rey. 8. Milton Frost, pastor. Presid- ing Elder, was the Rev. Joseph Goodman. This year there was an extensive revival, and ubout seventy-five were added to the church. There was another revival in 1848, under Rev. L. Shell, which greatly strength- ened the chureh. . To be Continued. Letina sees onion emmemeeonrienienmeniioeerae operand MARRIED. In Atwell township, on the 12th inst., by Rev. T. J.

Dispatch of Business in Congress —Senator After the Journalists — Unterrified Womews Rights. Mamunds too Euterprising alyitators (From Our Regular Correspondent.) WaAsHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 22d, 1331. This has been a comparatively busy week in both houses of the natioval Con- gress, and, while itis believed an extra session cannot be avoided, its work will be considerably lightened if Cungress shall continue at this rate daring the few re- maining days of the session. The House passe: the three per cent. refunding bill, and the navy bill, The Senate passed a brace of appropriation bills; awarded $100,000 to Ben. Holiday, who claimed half a million; settled the Kellogg case ; made hasty adverse dispo- sal of Senator MeDonald’s resolution to appeint a regular conmiittee to consider the vights of woman; debated the Indian severalty bill; and, in exeentive session, appointed a committee to investigate the manner in which the Chivese Freaty was made public. ~ Since the invention of wires and cables, the enterprise of the press has left the old fashioned diploma- tist in the lurch, and now, when our grave, reverend, and somewhat surperannated, House of Lords takes up for discussion, in seerecy, this long longed for treaty, they are shocked to know that it has been published in the papers. Alas! what an affromt to all the venerable traditions of appropriation ; diplomacy. Senator Edmunds, of Ver- wont, was decidedly angry, aud he moved of Is | | i lite of, | edify ines, oe te en ae that a committee be appointed to inves- tigate the means by which the treaty be- eame public. There were only foar cor- respondents who obtained copies of the documents, and it is fair to presume that they did not steal what could be obtained for the asking thereof. As, also, each of the correspondents aforesaid are geutle- men, it is hardly probable that they will reveal the sourees from which they deriv- ed their information, even thongh, as Senator Edmands suggested to-day, they should be locked up “between four cold walls for three, six, or nine months, or nine years,” until they told what they have no basiness to tell. The last oeea— sion on which the Senate undertook to find out who “gave away” its secret’pro- ceedings was when the New York Tribune pdblished the Washington treaty. . The inyestigation was, as might Nave tech expected, fruitless. If the Committee on Privileges and Elections has any disposi- ‘tion to inqnire into ancient history, it might summon Senator Edmands and ask him if his copy of the Washington treaty bore avy marks of having passed through | the telegraph office, between the time that he first placed it on his desk at home, and looked at it again several weeks later The unterrified agitators in favor of woman’s enfranchisement, Mrs. Stanton, Misses Anthony, Cousins, and others, have been holding another convention in Lincoln Hall, and, on yesterday, they sat in the Senate gallery, and saw disaster overwhelm the little resolution, offerred by the freshly married Senator MeDonald, in their favor.

He was defeated in the election; and then a band of conspirators, Mr. Hayes himself conspir- ing and conniving with them, setting aside the Constitution and the law, and making use of forgery, perjury, and false counting, secured for him possession of the Presidency to which another man had been elected; and when he had got possession of it, his most sedulous care was to repay with offices and emoluments those authors, and agents of the conspiracy to managers, whom he had been chiefly indebted for its infamous SUCCESS. “How great an insult you are proposing residents of the name of Adams is made manifest by the following words from the son ofthe one and the grand- sen of the other: “T think Mr. elected by a fraud, and I do not mean to have it said that at the next clection [ had iorgotten it.

The report of the progress of this work forthe two years ending D2 reember 1, 1880, has been laid before the Aseahiy. The commissioners, ' in their part of the report, state that ithere isa balance of the apprepria- however, will be appropriated to pay- ing for work that is yet in progress and slate and tin roofing. They fur- ther say that $80,000 is required for the completion of the “wings extend- ing southward from the centre build- ing, the boiler house, laundry room tend worksiop. “With the ¢ passages, heating, ventilation a drainage,” to which add $20,000 for the purchase of the necessary furni- ture and other incidental expenses, in preparing for occupancy, and it ap- pears that the total sum of $100,000 ' will be needed to make this institu- tion available in caring for the insane of the State. The building will then accommodate 250 patients. Mr. Sam- uet Sloan, the architeet, in his report to the commissioners, says: * * We also estimate the cost of constructing the walls of the wings, running north from the centre building and roofing them in, at $60,000. In doing this the walls of the cellar, that have been already constructed at a cost of $10,- 000, would be protected. They are exposed, and dainage, if not ruin, will ensue if they are lett in their present condition. Besides, if these wings are placed under roof the grounds around the building could be prop- erly graded and put in order. The additional cost of completing these wings, including heating and drain- age, will not exceed $40,000 —in all $100,000 in addition to the work done on the cellar walls. With these wings complete two hundred and fifty more patients can be accommodated— in all five hundred if crowded; four hundred being the number. provided for, although the fo: mer number caile accommodated. It may not be amiss to call your attention to the fact that no asylum of the kind has been erect- ed in this country, with all the mod- ern improvements and cenyeniences introduced for the treatment of the insane, where the cost per capita is not far in excess of the estimated cost of your building when completed, presuming the remainder of the work can be done at the same rate that the building has cost up to the present date. AN Arm Torn in Two.—A year ago a young boy named Shuman was quite seriously hurt while playing with a band over a wheel in the ma- ehinery at Hilton’s mill, a few miles from the city. After this accident the band and wheel were raised out of reach of boys, but yesterday a lad twelve or thirteen years old, named Crowell, living near the mill, in spite of two or three warnings, climbed up to the band and hisarm was canght ex- actly as Shuman’s had been. He was carried round with the wheel two or three times, until the lower arm was literally torn away, bone and muscle, at the elbow. Dr. J. M. Miller was called and dressed the wound and re- ports the boy as doing very well and not in danger, in spite of the pain which must have been terrible.— Charlotte Observer. ey a ee A Useful Almanac. We are sorry for it. We were not aware that we had ever showa that we could speak in eight different languages. Dr. Ayer has misjudged us and scut us a neatly bound copy of his Almanac in eight langnages. In addition to the Al- manac he has also sent us a circular giv- ing direetions how to take pills in Chi- nese, which isa very handy thing to have in a printiig oflice. We once heard of a girl who could chew gum in three languages ; but now she is surpassed by Dr. Ayer, who can take pills in eight different languages. If the pills fail in English, we can try them successively in German, Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian, French, Portugese and Spanish until a cure is effected. We do not know of any other pills in the market which offer such advantages. We suppose that Dr. Ayer intended either to flatter our knowledge or set us out on a course of the study of the lan- guages. We like the Almanac.

Let us see what kind of testimony we get from Germany, France and England, especially. The Hen. Edgar. Stanton, United State consul to Bremen, writes: “A fruitful cause of waste and rnin among the laboring classes is the enor- mous increase of the drinking seleons and dancing halls, and the complaints. are universal as to the disposition of the laborers to indulge in excessive drink. Whatever be the character of the laborer in other parts of Germany, in this and the neighbering districts he is, asa rule, improvident and quar- relsome. The towns are ia conse- uence heavily burdened by poor rates.” Consul Eason writes from Dresden: “The cest of living to the laboring classes almost invariably gees pari passu with their wages. They seem to be generally improvident and re- gardless of the future, and spend in beer drinking, dancing, and_ idleness all they earn, Sunday is always re- markable for the crewds of ~ moving in all directions in pursuit of pleasure, such as beer drinking, dane- ing, concert music, excursions by boat and rail.” Consul Gerrish writes from Bor- deaux: “Although wages have increased somewhat, the savings of this-class are diminished. The principal eause of this comes from the pernicious habit of spending their time in cafes. “The number of these drinking places in Bordeaux and its environs is apward of two thousand. The hard earned money as well as the time usually lost in these resorts of idleness and bad manners it is impossible to calculate.” Consul Webster writes from Shef- field, England : .Many a man who can casily eare his fourteen and nineteen dollars & week will be satisfied with earning half that gpm, or just enough to pro- vide him with his food, beer, sporting, allowing his wife but a mere pittance of his wages for herself and children, Any one walking our streets will see where the earnings of the working meg go, and in very many cases the earn- ings of the working women also. The amount spent in drink in Great Brit~ tain in 1877, according to the excise returns, was more than seven hundred million dollars.

Bap Roaps.—The present winter has been exceptionally hard on the public roads leading into town, all of which are fn an almost impassable condition. It may not be any better next winter, nor the winter following that. The evil isa serious one, both to the interest of those who use the roads and those jn avy way dependent on their use. It affects the business interests of the town generally, jo diminishing the anount of trade and #iudering progress in many ways. The population aud wealth of the county Is jncreasing and in that proportion the ne- cessity for good roads becomes more Ur- gent. Common dirt roads, such as we have, cannot stand che strain of hard winters like this, and the growing travel upon them, especially near town 5 and we respetfully submit to the County Cow- missioners to take this subjecc ander con- sideration with reference to devising some improvement likely to meet the wants ef the public. There are geveral places which demand either a thorough MeAd- amised improvement or a plank road. ‘Take the Statesville road for ope mile ont, for instance. The Liuvcolutey road for same distance. ‘The Gold HikLroad dowg to the creck, fudved? there is not a pub- lic road leading inte the town which is pot absolutely frightful toa man witha team, ‘That something ought to be done fo prevent the recurrence of this condi- tion of the highways is beyond all ques- tion.

Even giving Louisiana to Hayes, to which, however, he was not entitled, Mr. Tilden had a wpular majerity of over a quarter ofa willion yotes. Aud yet Hayes was made President. And now again, Garfield goes jn as President with a clear majority of 6,332 votes aguinst him. Gen, Hancock, the people’s choice, must stand by, on the 4th of March vext, and witness the in- auguration of a man whom he defeated at the polls. And this result has frequently pappened siuce the establishment of our government. That it is wrong, and in direct couffict with the great elective principle, no one will deny. The law pught to be changed so that the voice of the people would prevail in the choice of a President. The machinery should be abolished, aud we are glad to see that Mr. Wallace, a Pennsylvania Democrat, has prepared a bill to this end, and that Congress will be called on to consider it. We want no more minority Presidents, and no more disputes in Con- gress as to how the vute should be count- ed, and no move grand (rascally ) commis- sions to defeat the will of the people. The Southern people are a unit on this gubject—they are solid—and their repre- gentatives in Congress should serve them pecordingly. —_——EEP ee presort Baker For February. ‘Our prophet, Baker, comes to the front again for February.

TTT OS ANOTHER Fatal RAILROAp ACCIDENT, —Railroad accidents in this State have recently become fearfully common. It is a new thing and due, no doubt, in large part, to the severity of the present winter. The last one occurred Sunday night last, oa the N.C. Railroad, near Gjbsonville, and resulted in the ixstant death of the conductor, Mr. RK, ‘I’, Halsey, andthe fireman, Amos Hardy, colored. These, with the engineer, Mr. games Murphy, were all on the engine at the time of the aceident. The escape of the latter, with only a brokev arm, is said to be due to his having remained in hig seat. The ac- cident was caused by the breakage of a rail, which threw the train off the track and down a seven foot gmbankment. No precantion could have guarded against it, consequently there is no blame attaching to any one on acconnt of jt. —_—@xqx<—£9>- —_—— Trade marks are said to be rearly as eld as the race.

He is now publishing some of the incidents of his travels in that part of the country, writ- ten up in elegant style, and full of in- terest. The subjoined extract is ont of a conversation between himself and the driver of the carriage conveying him, while traveling from one poiut to anoth- er: “This country is certainly very beaati- ful in summer,” said he, “and there is an elasticity iv the’ atmosphere, a freshness and. purity which stimulate mind and body. Exercise, even in the middle ot the hottest day, does not fatigue one, and the nights are so pleasent that morning always finds one refreshed, but it must be awfully cold here in winter.” “Well, yes; [ cal’clate its a leetle mit, coldet’a where you tame trey,” replica the native ; “but Lizzie‘ Fitch, that’s peen teachin’ school down Seuth, says it pear- ed like she couldn’t keep warm there last winter, and then, when the cold spell got by, it come so hot ’fore school closed for summer vacation she thought she’d melt.” ‘Has the lady quit teaching down there on account of the climate 2?” inquired the rebel brigadier. Oh, no; she’s going back this fall, and take her sister to teach, too—she gits good wages, I guess, aud thinks she’s doing a good work.” ‘*] hope she will return, and take not only her sister, but as many more friends as she can with her,” said the Southérner. “It will be good not only for the children but for herself and her companions.” An ineredulous look was the only re- sponse to this remark, and then there was a jerk at the lines and a gentle ap- plication of the whip to the venerable locomotive power in front of them. After a moment or two of silence the driver tentatively observed that he was sur- prised tu hear that the “school marni’s” residence in the South could) be good for her.” “Tthonght,” said he, “that the rebels took mighty little stock in our women that go daown there to teach, and that they made it pretty hot for em, ‘special- ly them that teach the black ones.” ‘Does the lady of whom you spoke just vow say she was ill-treated at the South —that they made it ‘hot for her?” “No, I gness not; but they say some of fem have a rough time.” “How 2” “Well, Tean’t say exactly haow, except that the people don’t seem to care much for ’em, or notice ‘em tiauch.” Why should they?) If one of them should stop on the way South in New York, or Pennsylvania, would she receive any particular attention frem strangers unless she had letters of introduction ? Or, would a southern woman coming up here, under the same circumstances, fiud it different?” “T don’t know as she would.” . “Come, now; do you think if one of those rebel women should stop over awhile in your village that the ladies wonld call on her, and invite her te their houses, without Kuowing anything about her?” “[ know ove that wouldu’t.” “Do you know one that would 2?” The Yankee laughed a very unsatisfae- tory sort of a laugh, pulled his reins, and said: “Oh, you talk so.” ~ rr tT eA The business men of Shelby have formed an association for their mutual protection against that class of men (and women, too, for that matter), who make debts wherever they can with no inten- tion of paying them. One of the good effects contemplated, is to shut down on “dead beats,” and compel them to make an honest living. We suppose this as- sociation, When it meets, will compare notes, and make lists of their customers. Under ove head they will have the names of allthe “sheep” and under another caption all the “goats.” The sheep will represent honest people, and the gouts the dishonest. ‘T'o call a fellow a sheep ov a goat in Shelby will hereafter have a significance it never had before. But the idea is not a new one: North- erm merchants have been practicing a similar system for years. A merchant in New York with -his “blue beek” before jiint, cin tell you’ more about — the busi- ness men -iu the country than you ever dreamed of, They litterally “know it all”—ean tell who is good, who is doubt- ful, and who isa rascal; so that the chances for practicing a fraud upon them are rather slim. Business men in the country would do well” to” fortity against frauds in the cities by sim- ilar means, and would have to do it, if they did) much promiscuous trading, in order to protect themselves. And so it comes about that all must practice the one Bible precept, “watch.” : > ANCIENT Human Foot Prints.—The Scientific American illustrates a human foot print found in Sand Stone in Union County, Kentucky, supposed to be the oldest human foot print in the world. It has long been kuown at the place wheie found, but the owners of the property would never, until recently, allow it to be cut out and removed. The track is about 10 inehes long, an the toes spread out, as ifthe person who made it bad slipped forward. ‘Phere were several such tracks onthe same stone, but the one illustrated was the most perfect.

He devotes con- siderable space to ihe different tobacco sec- tions of the State, from Asheville, through the great midgl¢ region, down to Sampson. In what he terms. the central belt, extend- ing from Wurren county westward, he says is produced the very fine bright tobacco which is classed abroad as “Virginia Strips,” but which, he insists, we should set the fashion of calling “North Carolina Brights.” Of our Nerth Carolina factories, he says that their product for 1830 is not less than 46,000,000 of pounds, the value ef which, averaging twelve cents, Is $5,552,000, while the tax imposed is $7,360,000.

(1.) Inercase the present license tax to double, or even nore, its present limit. (2.) Let license be | issucd only at the May meetings of the board | of county commissioners, and require all license to be taken out then, and paid) for in advance for one year, This will do away with the three months cross-roads grog- eS a shops, that do so much harm during the cotton season. (3.) Require applicants for license to be permaneat citizens in the com- munity wherethey propose to sell (he liquor, and that they must bring good recommen- dations. (4.) Require cach applicant to file a justitted bond of $1000, that he will not violate the laws regulating the liquor traffic. Fer instance ddte minor liquor law and the Sunday liquor itaw. If he persists in selling liquor to a minors let the parents er guar- dian of the boy have cause for action against that bend. The Legislature might further emact that heshall not sell liquor to an habitual drunkard, or toa man who neglects his family, and; make the bond liable for dumages. (5.) Give the commissioners pow- er.to revoke ary liquor license for eause. These restrictiims and others we mivht sug- vest, if enforced, would work wholesome re- sults.— Goldsboro, Messenger. sgt Be It is amusinje to-read in such Radical | a- pers as the PHitaddl phia Presa that “the Democratic apparition to the bill to retire Grant with the rank of General is another illustration ef: ‘the incerrigible Democratic fatuity and stapidity.” Yes, certainly. “Democratic stupidity ,” we like that. [ad Grant during,his term pretended to admin- ister the office of President in the interest of the Union and not as a mere partisan, and had he since his retirement conducted him- self with deeency towards the South and the Democratic party, the South and the Democrotic. party would have cheerfully honored him. But we will not honor those who do not honor us. The sooner this is understood the better.— News and Observer. Gov. Cornel] in a speech at Albany, N. Y., when Grant was serenaded, said that Grant was “more than Washiugton ; first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Such a sen- timent is atrocivus. Washington lived and died an honest man, revered and hon- ored by the world. No man who regards truth will ever accuse Grant of honesty as long as Black Friday is remembered, not to speak of “whiskey rings” and other infamies.

Thus it is that ran- corous, passianate, luexhonorable polities penetrate into the ranks of our soldiers to sow disunion, discord and distrust. In a short time the army will no longer be- long to France, it will be the army of a victorious coterie, of atriuimphant faction, the army of afew and not of all. And how is such an army to fight, and for what country can you expect it to die? What will happen when it-is known that the blood shed is not for France but only for the Republic?) In 1870, perhaps we were wanting in clever generals, aud in engines of war, but at least fjwe had sol- diers who fought marvellously well. As for the soldiers, how are they to be tanght their duty when their respect for most of their chiefs has been destroyed, and when in their eyes France has been replaced by the Republic?” Allowing for the Anti- Republicanism of the writer’s sentiment there is, without doubt, much that is true in M. de Cassagnac’s somewhat passion- ate language.

Religtowm was almost’ entirely neglected. in the early setthenient-of the American colonies of England. . Some form of the Christian religion was nominal- ly patronized, and established by law in each colony— but very: little<attention. was paid to giving to the.people full_and ‘genu- ine religious privileges. The non-episeopa- lians were generally much befter off than their brethren of the Chufth-of England. The latter were never allowéthto drive ‘in any colony eithera synad_onadishop, There was no power of obtaining epi opal ordi- nation in America. Candidates for the min- istry were required té cross thé Atlaiitic to: receive Holy orders.:"Thisswas-both costly: and full of peril.. -One-in-tive pf all. whe set: out returned no more, It. ip stated, that, in the year 1724, about twenty young men, yraduates from Yule college rio’ Wished to obtain episcopal ordiiatlom: beimiz* diss couraged at the trouble and whargead going to Bogland, either abandepad the ,mipistry altogether. er accepted nag-e sgopal drdi- nation. ‘The non-episcdpal dénomfaations, each possessed their ann Mate in perfec- tion, “It is hard,”s was. theséeomplaint of the “Churchmen” or “episenpalians”” at the time,“that these large and increasing disper- sions of the true Protestant, nglish Church should not be provided with bishops, when. our enemies, fhe Roman Catholics of Franeé an’! Spain, find their account frit to provides them. for theirs. | Even Casada;-whieh is scarce bigger than. some of -auy provinces, has her bishops, not to mention the Mora- vians, who a'so have tlitirs.' "The poor church of America is woerseioff than any ef her adversarics. She has pobedy arpon the spot to comfort og confirm her.clildren—ao- body to ordain such as are willing to serve.” The colonies were all nominally under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Bondon, who lived more than three thousand miles away, and who never pretended to visit America at all. Nearly all the Episcopal ministers were nissionaries in the pay of the Society Sor the Propagittion of the Gospel in Foreign Parts” So far as religious advantages were concerned North Carolina seems to have been somewhist worse off than any other colony, but there was more religious liberty and toleration—and there wéver was any such thing known here as religious persecu- tion, All Christian denominations, during the seventeenth and the greater part of the eighteenth centuries, believed that some. form of Christanity should be established by law as the church of the State. Suchoa thing as the perfect religious toleration and freedom We now c..joy was then uaknown anywhere. The Church of England. until the period of the Revolution of 1776 was the religious establishment of' the Province ef North Carotina,-and up to that dase there was no period when the adberents of that Church cid not constitute at least one halt of the population.” But there were very few clérgy. In 4764, Governor Debbs reported. that there were ‘then but sic clergymen in the Province, althongh there were trenty- nine parishes, and @ach Parish contained a whole county. Governor Tryon, in 1767,.in his teport of the state of feligion in the| ligion was making a very regtitar progress,” He recommended “the greatest caution in the choice of gentle nen sent oyer as minis- ‘ligions tenets that turre-tately~@ppeared in ters, the inhabitants af this Province being strict inquisitors into the moral character and behavior of the clerey: and that the latter will attract but little esteem and do but little good, if their lives are not truly exemplary, and agreeable to their protes- sion.” In 177, the number of the clergy had increased to e/ghteéi, while the popula- tion of the Province probably éxceeded two hundred thousand. Thave been unible to ascertain whether there ever was a fully organized Parish in Rowan county before the Revolutionary war. Rowan was erected into a county and Parish in 1753-—and the name of the latter was 4 SAINT LUKE'S PARISH. Before the year 1768, it is probable that ministers of the Church of England may have occasionally visited) the.county—but there is no tradition, that any minister of that Church had theretofore been located in the Parish? This seems t6 tHe plain from the following + Extract of a Petition from sundry inhabitants of the couaty of Rowan. “To the Governor, lis Majesty's honorable “Council and the Ifouse of Burgesses of ‘North Carolina : soe “The Petitioners eomplains ’t.

Williamson, .i1 dig history of North Carolina, from which [have copied the above, (p. 258) makes We fullov in comments of Vis own, | “The pettioners go on to pray, that means he tu Refer com pel- ling persons chosen vestry nyen.te take the oaths prescribed, or such other means as may produce a regular lawful vestry. There were thirty-four subseribers tothe petition ; siz of them made their marks, and some of the other signatures are hardly legible. When thirty-four such persons could pro- pose, that siz or seven hundred should be taxed for their accommodation, they cer- tainly had need of the gospel that teacles humility.” The “humility”? which these pe- titieners had need of” was universally lack- ing in the christianity of those times. But it is doubtful whether these petitioners pro- posed to do what Williamson charges them with—that is to “tax” other people “for their accommodation.” The proposition to lay a tax does not seem te be even implied from any of the lenguage of tlre petition. Because they wished ‘a lawful vestry” is no proof that they desired the vestry to levy and collect taxes for religious purposes.

More than halt of the Protestants of Ireland have always owed allegiance to the same Religiots Faith. I think it probable, that the following nam- ed persons, livitg in this eounty: before the Revolution, were Church ef England people: John Frohoek, Win.

The Howard family were also bere then, and were members of the Engtish churth. >| Very. tittle is knownabhut the effarts that: were made te organize Episcopal congrega-| ; tions in this county during the period before | the Revolution. The tradition is, that the Rev. Theodore Drane Draig came to Sulis- bury in the year 1768 or 1769, and. almost immediately succeeded in having a chapel erected'in the Jerscy settlement about nine or ten miles east of Salisbury—somewhere near where Dr. Wm. B. Mears new _ resides, Dr. Draig remained here about four years — but failed to organize the Parish ‘upon a legal aud permanent foundation. “For on Easter Monday, 1770, when an election, ac- cording 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 and elected them, not with any -design that they should act as vestrymen but solely for the purpose of pre- venting the Episcopalians from electing such as would have done so.” The Rev. Robt. J. Miller relates this anecdote on the authority of Dr. Anthony Newnan, John Cowan, Sr, and others of the old people of Salisbury. Mr, Miller makes the following comments of his own, “This (election and its consequences) caused much bitter ani- mosity to spring up between the parties, and so, much discouraged the Rev. gentle- man, Perhaps the approach of the Revolu- tionary war had its influence also, but be that as it may, after a four years’ fruitless effort to organize an Episcopal congrega- tion in this section, he left it as he found it, without any.” Dr. Draig was a great friend of Mr. John Dunn, whe is said to have been instrumental in persuading him to come to this Parish. The usual place for holding the services in Salisbury was the large house of Mr. Dunn, situated en what is now the north east corner of Inniss and Church streets—on the same lot where Mr, Phillip P. Meroney resides. Mr. Dunn is said to have been a gogd churchman, His house was decorated with evergreens as regularly as Christmas day would come. To be Continued.

The skins of the fruit by this process become so separated from the pulp that they are drawn off with one motion of the haod. This saves much time, labor, and ex- pense. The new process causes the fruit to dry more readily, and a very slight loss in weight results. orn rr The Value of Hen Manure, If all the dropping from the hen roost be carefully saved in barrels, and every spring and fall this manure be ceai posted with any good soil or muck from swamps, and kept a few months, its value is equal to Peruvian guano, and may, I think, be estimated at fifty cents per fowl per annum, From fifty hens I save about ten barrels of the pure guano during the year. What I save from November to April, I compost in the spring with the soil. First I spread in a circle, soil, to the depth of three or four inches, then I spread another Jayer of soil, and then a layer of manure, till the heap is complet- ed, using about four times the bulk of seil that I do of manure, the last layer being goil, The top of this compost heap J mak flat to catch the rains, then cover it with any refuse straw or hay, then place som sticks of wood or boards against the cover- ing-te keep it in-place, and in two or three months itis ready for use, having becom thoroughly incorporated with the soil, bu as the season for planting is then past most- ly, I leave the heap till the next year, when I use it with what I compost in November Perhaps it would be better to make com- post in March, where the climate will admit, and use the manure ier grops planted th last of May or early in June, butI can dis- cever no loss by keeping it till the next sea- A gill of this compost toa hill of corn will be equal in effect to half a shovelful of sen. stable manure.— Exchange. OO Killing Weeds, Sunday School Times. What the old farmer said about his patch of ground is equally true of the heart of th Sunday-school schelar: “There is no us trying to keep that patch clean just by hoe- ing and weeding. You don’t get donca one end before the weeds arc up again a the other end. The only way is te sow i thick with grain, so there is no room left There is life in the ground ; and for weeds, it will produce something.

Th efadication of evil is most s«fely and surely accomplished by the implanting of good. PERVERTED LIBERTY. Suthern Presbyterian : Some are 80 liberal in there religious ser timents that they feel no special obligation to prefer their own church services and in structions; are more than ready te hear any other preacher than their #wn pastor, re- gardless of the discouragement they occa- sion him and the damage they do their own cengregation, and forgetful of the vows and promises they have made in joining thi particular church. {It seems strange tha they fail to see that this course benefits no church, no minister, no individual—not even themselves; for “gospel gadding” dogs ng indicate a healthy appetite nor afford rea edification.

A knowing Caterpillar. You have seen the ‘“loeper” caterpillar, o “measuring worm,” as it is sometimes call ed, who goes over the ground making series of loops of himself, or measuring off inches. He seems a dull creature enouzh, but he is net as stupid as he looks, and I want to tel yeu how he prepares his winter quarters, so that he shall be safe and warm till spring comes. His life begins towards the end of andl New Mexico, was made known summer, and after eating for three or four “weeks he looks out for a place to settle The home he prefers is a currant er yoose- berry leaf, which he draws together snugly and fastens by a silk thread, which be spins himself, and then he coils himself up and sleeps away the long, cold months. But af- ter a while the leaves fall from the bush and what then is to prevent the little sleep- er from being blown away, or crushed, or killed in some way? That is the wonder of the whole performance, for before the stupid-looking caterpillar goes to sleep he fastens the leaf he has chosen to the branch by several strong silk cords. The leaf mav die and lose its hold, and the winter winds milly how] about him, but the cords are strong, and all the long winter the little péimmock swings safely in the air. Ce ee ht erate ———— Patent Flour. Patent flour is now ‘coming into general use, and many of our readers may be interested in reading the fol- lowing explanation of what it is, and how it is made, taken from the Prairie Farmer : Until recently the best flour was made from Winter wheat, or rather the flour made from Winter wheut, sold for most money because it was white. But it consisted of the most part ef the starch of the grain, while the most of the gluten (the mest nu- tritions part ef the grain) went inte middlings. . In grinding Spring wheat so much bran remained in the flour that it was teo dark to suit the taste of the con- sumers. But the middlings, which sold at 3 low price, has become the fhost desirable part of the grain. Middling purifiers—by which the bran is now separated from the mid- dlings—have made a very great rev- olution in the business of milling. By the new process the wheat is ground as before, except that the ef- forte of the miller. are directed to t excavated with stoue implements. They are almost inaceessible from the plains, Mr. Stephenson, -how- ever, managed to clamber up the rocky precipice, and examined a num- ber of articles that he though remains of their first possessers. A scientist who has traveled in that region and visited ether caves and excavations of asimilar kind says he is disposed to believe that they have been ten- anted within modern times by In- dians at’ war with other tribes, seck- ing safety and advantage over their ‘enemies. He thinks the remains found there arethe remains of the things these belligerents have used, eaten, or worn, and not the relics of the first owners of the rock houses. ooo The Old Blue Chest. ce One day last week five or six wo men with serious faces and hushed voices were gathered in a room ina house on Fort street east.

Our souls can ne’er forget entire, | But need some kindred chance alone, | Tv light again the hidden fire | That circumstance has blown. | Then, as we indistinctly grope Up memory’s dim and winding stairs, | We seem to be the waudering Hope | ‘Phat’s lived six thousand years, } And Fate, from iron-bonded tome, Enuneiates its measured seroll, And the judgment, “Tarry till 1 come!” Is seethed upon the withered soal. | Then, had I known this barren strand ; | ‘This long, low stretch of heathered | shore ; The worldless lines of written sand ; | Lhe moveless, lilac clouds, before? Ah, yes! An artist—nothing more,— | Leaw onee in my distant rambles . Upon this old, deserted shore Of broom, and scdge, and brambles. Her easel stood upou the strand,— It very lonesome scemed to me,— And the brash in her unconscious hand | Was painting a rain at sea. She spoke no words. But words, at best, Ave often brainless, idle things, And bare to thoughts the hollow breast That fools betray to kings. The brush had drawn the heathered land The lilac clouds and rainy sea, And aederneath the uneouscious hand Wrote, Vita, amor, tenebre. T never coud the words detine,— Theit meaning to the sea or land,— “Twere as an angel’s thoughts to mine, So hard they were to understand, We parted where the pearly mew And fated petrel swept the heather ; Just why we did we never knew, Except we dared not stay together. Tiis was six thonsand years agone,— Or so the revkoning seems to me,— And one by one those vears have flown To moveless clonds above the sea. Among their columued walls, and rife, An easel stands upon the lea ; And on the sea-lines of my life Are writen, Vita, amor, tenebra. *Tis strange that while I seek to shun Things that are drear and sad to me, Somehow, I love to look upon This painting of the “Rain at Sea!” And memory hears a distant tone Adown its misty colors driven, Like the symphonies of Mendelsshon, Or Beethoven’s dream of heaven. —Henry C.

A Boy To Tue Cater ComManp.—When Gen. Bonaparte first came among us we were furious with the Directorate for having sent a boy to command us. (It should be re- membered that at this time Napoleon was only 26 years.of age.) He was ashort, awk— ward-lookiag, thin youth, and the Army was scriously discontented with having such a boy placed in the chief command, while Generals like Augerean and Massena were placed under him, but they soon felt the in- fluence of the young General’s genius in es— tablishing order among them; and after the battle of Monenotte, when Napoleon on the following morning visited the hospitals, and addressed words of encourazemeént to every wounded soldier, and saw himself that his wounds were «lressed and his failing strength revived by suitable nourishment, a kind of magic confidence in him came over the spirit of the soldiers, which the subsequent vic- tories of Dego and Massemo, following soon after that of Monenotte, kindled into a spirit of enthusiasm.— Temple Bur. > oe — A large Prohibition meeting was held in the Secend Presbyterian Church en Monday nigh last, and resolutions adopted request- ing our Senator and Representatives in the Legislature to vote for a positive prohibi- of alcoholic liquors.

Wg see in the Tarboro Southerner that in Washing- ton, N. C., the other day, a young dealer in horses, a white man, bouglit a horse that proved “balky.” This so enraged the human proprietary monster that he deliberately struck the horse on the head with a brick, felling the animal to the ground. Hethen pulled out its tongue and gashed it with his knife. His inhu- man and brutal appetite for the blood of something that couldn’t strike back, not yet being sated, he delivered blow after blow upon the ears and head of the poor, bleeding beast, with the sharpe corner of the brick, until the cars were lacerated and the head preseuted the appearance of raw beef. ea Fatan Accipent.—Mr. §. A. Smith, Who was in the city yesterday, informed us that Eddie Dees, a son of Edmund Dees, residing near Etkinsville, Bladen county, Was entting down a tree bear the house a day or two ago, when it lodged against another tree and the butt thrown suddeuly around in such a way as to strike him on the back of the neck, which was broken by force of the blow. Failing to go to his breakfast at the usual time his sister went to look for him, when she dis- covered the dead body of her unfortunate brother, got it out from ander the trunk of the tree with her own hands and con- veyed ithome. It is supposed that his death was iustintancous. Deceased was aged about 13 or 14 years.— Wilmington Star. s Raleigh Neiws—Observer : There is, unfort- unately, not a cotton factory in Raleigh, but there are no less than five large planing ee mills, two foundries, two boiler manztac- tories, and two carriage and buggy manu- industries, employing altogether several hundred work- men.

As he was about to ; return to Paris towards evening, a violent , ' thunderstorm burst over the park, anda magnificent tree, which had been plant- | ed by Napoleon L, in the presence of the ! Empress Josephine, was struck by light- ving. The people inhabiting the neigh- borhood of Malmaison thought fit to in- terpret this natural accident as an evil omen for the Prince Imperial. The tree was seriously injnred, and every effort Was made to save its life, but in vain. It gradually withered and died. Late in the spring af 1879 the intendant of the chateau gave orders that it should be cut down as well as some other decayed timber defacing the park. On the first of June accordingly the shattered Napo- leonic tree was felled to the earth; and that very day the gallant Prince Impe- rial was slain by Zula assegais in far-dis- tant Africa. He strangely enough, was the last Napoleon who set foot in Malmai- son Park, and the coincidence of his mel- ancholy fate with that of the tree planted by his great ancestor was, to say the least of it, & most remarkable fulfilment of a dismal forecast, the offspring of popular superstition. . At the Cabinet Council held this morn- ing at the Elysic, under the presidency ef M. Grery, General Farre’s bill, rela- tive to the reorganizatiou of the army exemption system, was taken into consid- eration. “The bill, was, with certain modi- fications, approved of by the Cabinet. Thus, young men studying for the Church, who, under the new arrangement, will have to serve one year with the colors, will pass that period in time of peace in the military hospitals, instead of actually being uuder arms.

MONOPOLIES. -_—_—— The public is yet slumbering iu an nn- ious condition iu respect to a great Aanger which treatens w rob the people of their dearest political rights. If the people really knew of the power and in- ‘uence of monopolies in the country to control Législatares, State and Federal, pud even the courts, it would at ouce be- seme to them a subject of vital interest, We propose to give, froin time to time, such information ou this subject as we ae fay hands on, for it is high time that all shoald recognize this po.itical adver- aary aud prepare to combat it. If there ina power in the land not ovly able and ‘willing, and in some cases has, subverted te rights of the people to selfish ends, it ought to be known, and the great power of ties people marshalled do cons bat it, " AWe have alluded to this subject before, and design these remarks for an intro- duction tu the following from the N.Y. Lvening Post of February 4th, which is totable, coming as it does from one of the oldest aud must conservative journals iu the country : - “THz IMPENDING SUADoW.” “Great bodies move slowly, and the publie is slower than monopolizing cor- porations. But a time may be conceiyed ot, nag, even may be predicted when the puolic will become switter than corpora- ‘ious, and when those corporations may Mot only be caught up with but even g:yaad to powder by tye public wrath. “This country just now has entered upon a time of great material prosperity, ‘The land laughs with fatness and promise. A burst of suushive has bathed the whole ‘nation with radiance and joy. This may have seemed sudden, although a couenr- Tee of happy events has long been lead- ing up to it. Hence to many persons the general effulgeuce appears like a glad sur- prise, Bat just vow a shadow has crept ever the earth, a chill has filled the air. ‘yie blithe and contident spirit that so laicly prevailed is damped and hesitating. W iat does this mean and what does it pi rend? --1t means that the people, through the sicessof ominousand accumulatingevents, was yetting to see that they ave in danger ot becoming the victims of new aud crush- suy forms of oppression. It means that the words “consolidation” and “combina- tiou” are beginning to be understood. It ficans that the people have come to per- xeive that if to-day they are to be heavily taxed through artificial valuations on a thing they caunot possibly do without, the process may be repeated to-morrow on something else, the uext day on some other necessity ; so that at last their very live-blood will be sucked by the greedy vampires, who grow more insa- tisble with impunity, and who, already swollen nearly to bursting, still plot and strain for further accumulation. “It moans yet more. It means that the people see with growing alarm aud anger that the Lbloodsuckers are fortifying them- selves so strongly in legislative bodies, that relief or protection from those quar- tera, if songht for, may be sought for in vain ; that meu who have been thought to be representatives of the people have be- come instead representatives of corpora- signs, that the corporations, thus snugly und surely entrenched, are fast learning to laugh at public opinion. For who shall Bay them nay with the highest power in the land holding up their hands from be- hind ? . “There is reason, then, for the impen- ding shadow. There is reason for solici- tude when the people, who must use the telegraph, are told they must pay divi. dends ov eighty millions of dollars, when a quarter of that sum would replace af tht the stock of the intlated corporation tepresents. There is reasou for solicitude Wuen the same principle, applied now here, now there, to lines of transportation, threateng to end in imposiug throughont tue country four times the charge for carrying goods or persons that the service is worth. There is reason for solicitude Whea, seeing what may be done, free of fet or hindrance, with telegraphs and ro :troads, monopolists are visibly prepar- ing to repeat the performance in other fi sds sv that at last it may even be that fhy whole labor of the nation will stagger wealer apprecedent and at last unbearable burdens to swell the already crammed purses of scheming monopolists. “All this, we may be sure, is nota sum- er clond that can overcome the commu- nity without causing either special fear ov wonder. It betokeus a real, a mana- cing, a present danger. It implies that a time bas come when the forees of public opinion rust be set at work in earnest to breast and bear back a grievous calamity. Supiueness will vot auswer; to close our &) 98 and stop our cars will not auswey. A moment has arrived when we must ehange all that; a moment when legisla- tors and those who bribe them must ery halt; and a moment when “combiners” and “cousolidators” and all other plotters against the common weal in the interest of corporate mopopoly must be told in trumpet tones, and iu something more than words if need be, “Thus tar shall ye go and vo further.” out ¢ ' ‘ _— a ee Smail pox has broken out at Lroy, N- Y., and spread considerably before meas- ures could be adopted to arrest it.

The streete leading south from the Ayenge suddetly became canals. Sixth street depot arouse out of a lake 5 feeé deep. Enterprising colored men taryed the flood to acvount by runuing ferry boats from one side of the street to other. Cou- siderable loss was sustained by mer- chants and others, as the water covered a portion of the city. Ice was riding the flood, and in some places banking up in gorges. Three hundred feet of the Long Bridge were swept away Satarday night, and the mails for the South were sent in wagons across Aquaduct bridge to Alexandria. Rushing waters aud grating ice were every where, causing great ex- citement. ‘Che-wharves were destroyed.

Oe Cuaren Hitt.—We call attention to the Memorial published in another part of this paper sent to the General Assem- bly in opposition to the policy of taxing the people to keep up Chapel Hill. The appropriation for the purpose of paying the tuition of free students from each county is the point the memorial objects to. Asa whole the subject is worthy of public attention, and the memorialists have set forth their objects in a plain and candid manner. If the Legislature de- sires to do a liberal and fair thing on this subject we thhink the way is open. They can appropriate $7,500 or 315,090 as they think bestyfor paying the taition of two students from each county, giving to the students the privilege of selecting for themselves any college in the State. It is not necessary to mention the details of such antarrapgement. Butitits obvious that it weuld be more satisfactory to those who have to pay the taxes than the present proscription of colleges in all re- spects the equal, not to say the superior, of Chapel Hill. —_-— a > Da For the The Western or Mor Asylum. Watchman. re ganton Dear WATCHMAN: I sce in your issue of Feb. 3d, 1330, what purports to be the official account of the progress of the work and expenses in the future te complete the Morgautou Asylum; and as was said a great while ago, “there is nothing new under the sun.” ‘Vhe ‘weed Ring, L take, Was nO new thing; neither do | think the Morganton ring new. Only ina new place. Now it dow’t take a wagitying glass to look through it: The object is clear to my mind to’ fleece the toilimg men, women and children of the State for the benetit of that ring. Look at it: six years ago there was appropriated, for two years, $75,000, and when the Legislature of four years ago found the foundation laid, and the mouey. gone, they smelt a rat; so they sent a committee te examine and report. What that repert is 1 do not kuow, but | iufer that the commissioners promised if the State would give them $30,000 a year for two years they would complete the main building and one wing; antl the appropriation was made, provid: ed they would do that much. Look at the Laws ef 1876-'77, page 400 and 401. ‘There is $60,000 gone aud the work not completed. ‘Pwo years ago the legisla- ture gave them $50,000 more and it is pot done yet. Now they say it will take $100,000 more to get that part ready for obe or more insaue, and $100,000 imdre for the other wing. If se faulty in their estimates as they were four years ago you the main building amg enue wing, and fur- nish it ready to put-i250 insane. Then youjnay safely say, if they can get the money, they will take $200,000 more for the other wing, to get that ready to take in 250 mute. But pou will have to crowd them, I dott know how much, they say, to get the 500 te -¥es; the intentibu seems to be to crowd them in according to their estimate, and it has not beep re- liable heretofore, it will take $385,000. It does hot take a prephet to foresee that if the Democratic party does not un- load it, the people of the State will un- load the Democrati¢-party ; they will not vote for the Repatljeru party, but they will do like Representative Waddell’s con- stituents did two years ago—stay at home and ‘dig taters.” My opinion is, if the party wishes the hard-working people to sustiin it in the future, they have to un- load. It would be better ‘for the party and the hard toiling ones of the State to take a sufficient quantity of giant powder aud blow it to the four winds. Unless L tm mistaken it will be a cause of vexa- tion and indignation from A to Z for all time tocome. * © #* #& Our correspondeut “B,” who writes on the Western Insane Asyluin, onght to have very conclusive facts on which to base his charges against the Commission- ers who disburse the pnblic funds appro- priated for building the- Insane Asylum ut Morgautou. ‘The Governor and other State officers, as well as the Legislature, | they are respectable men-—believed to be! iatelligent and honest—and should be trusted nutil the contrary is shown.

We agree with our correspond- ent that it is utterly wrong to deceive the people into commencing a work which will cost three or four times as mach as they were told it would cost. There are always, and every where, men © ho can prepare lying estimates for a pablic work; that the sum asked for is barely suatticient to begin the job. Aud havinggeommenc- ed in this way, they keep it until the work is dove, consuming, it y be, ter times the amount of the original estimate. Aud yet there way be no dishonesty ex- cept in the false estimates of the cost at the beginning. This, we believe, is the case in regard to the Morganton Asylum. The commissioners in charge of the work are prepared to show, and have shown, how they expened the money entrasted to them, and the werk done has been sub- jeeted to rigid inspection, and it has not appeared that there was geod cause for complaint, cither as to the quantity or quality. Railing, therefore, seems to be out of place, and so thinking, we have only given so much of var correspondent’s article as would indicate the subject mat- ter in haud.

J.L.G.

A condition of this grant gave~ each county in the State ove free scholarship in the State school. In his late message, the Governor recommends that the Legislature, now in session, shall make an additional appro- priation of $7,500.a year to Chapel Hill, on. the condition that another free schol- arship be allowed to each county, so if this recommendation shall become a law the State will give Chapel Hill $15,000 per apvum, aud be entitled to the tuition of 183 students, tree of charge.

State feel constrained to oppose, not beenuse they cherish any ill-will towards tlie Stateschool at Chapel Hill, but from gouysidcration of rights, and in order ta protect their on in- terests. : ' -We oppose this measure, first, becanse we deem it unwise that so large a part of ihe public money shorld be appropriated to collegiate instruction, when the spe- cial and peculiar want of the State at this jducture of its history is common school education. , When only one-third of the children of the State are at school, when the State is money cnough to keep the public schools iu op- eration @ft wecks in the year, and the appropriation for the education of each child for a whole year is oply 81 cents, it seems nnreagonable that the State should pay S80a year for the tuition ofexea student it may send to Chapel Hill. We object to the measure, in the sec- ond place, because it proposes to educate so poor that it) provides only the youth of the State aba very expen- sive rate of tuition, Each of the eighty- hine Hiil last term cost’ the State atthe rate of $34.27 per students at Chapel aunuin, and if the Governors reconmen- dation shall be adopted and cach of | tie free schalarsiip shall be represented, the cost of each student would be within a fraction of S3da yeur—a higher price than any college ia the State charges. There are three objections waich lie against tie proposed plan for aidiag Chapel Hilland promoting educition, The State is called on to give beneficiary edu- first is, as we have seen, that the cation at Chapel Hillbat too great a cost =a Gost mnnen larger than itcan have the sine nuniber of students taught as well elsewhere. Second, by this planamany enjoy this ebjects of charity. A number of free students at. Chapel Hil last term were able to pay fuition, The same will he truce, aud, perhaps, in aldarger propor- large tion, among these who would avail them selves of the scholarships, and if the ten e@ ey of this increased pamber of free principle shall result in North Carolina, asit has in Virginia, and all State stu- dents shall hav@ a benefaction, enforced by involuntary tax- ation, which the benefit of the well-to-do, and even the richest tami- be fiee, then we will enure to lies of the State. Ju the third place, the fact will be that the number of the poor young men of the State liberal edacation No asked help from either of the denomina- tional colleges in North Carolina in vain who will be aided in securing a will net be mato rialls Increased. worthy youth has ever and the three most. prominent of these colleges ave now aiding, cither wholly or in part, 1650 youug men Who wre pursu- Ing their studies. To detract from the patronage of these institutions, as would certainly da, would) be to deprive them ia atike proportion of the power to help mei, cause of educatiou. We object to the measure, in the third place, beeause we believe it would be de- we believe this.measure these poor-but promising sonng and hence woald not advance the trimental to the interests of education throughout the State. Chapel Hill is but one of several col- leges of the State, imparting the same grade of instruction. If it were educating ws many youths aSalh, the other colleges combined, even then it would be neither Cabarrus stock law fence via Geld Hill,! just nov wise for it enjoy the benefit of special legislation tothe injury of the ether colleges of the State. The faet is, however, that it larger patronage than one of these col- has no leges, and constitutes bit a small part of the educating .foree-of the State in with what all the other col- Bat the injary of comparison leges are doing. such special legislation reaches fir beyond the colleges and extends to every acadeny and high schoolin the State, since they are bronght into direct and wafair com- petition with the that re- ceives students of almostany degree of preparation. We humbly submit, in the fourth place, that the denominational colleges are entitle: to the respect and protection of the State, Tudeed, if we are not greatly mistaken, the developments of the past few years have shown that these cuileges possess a value and vitality, as factors in the great work of education, which do not belong to the State school at Chapel Hill. When for years the State school was in a state State selool may have been a mistake to put av Asy- LADIES who appreciaie elegance aud of suspended animation and did vothing fer the canse of edueation, these instifu- | charity of the State who are not worthy | ie Hill, that Chapel shadowing influence of State prestige and an endowment amounting to $125,000, is unable to sustain itself, while these de- hominational colleges are in an effective and even prosperous -condition: _ Finally, since we -believe this measure will be injurious to the welfare of our colleges, and will, if it beeome a law, inflict upon us the insupportable injus- tice of being'taxed to sustain an act franght with serious evil to our highest interests andin violation of our most sacred tights, we do as_ citizens and re- presentatives ef several Christian denomi- nations, enter our. most solemu protest against the measure as-inexpedient, un- fair and unjust, and en principle we will resist its passage by every legitimate means within oar power. - T.

Such parties as the city employ for this pur- pose should be paid, say 50 cents an hour, while on duty, and the town should be re-embursed by the purties served.

Thomas F, Davis—afterwards Bishop of South Carolina --said to him, that Mr. William Chana— the father of Mrs. Susan W.

Mr. Mills’ family formed the Episcopal part of the former joint Episcopal and Lutheran congregation of St. Michacl’s—which the Bishop had visited in the year 1823. Mr. Mills’ family afterwards constituted the main strength of the Episcopal Parish of St. James. The Bishop reached Mr. Miller’s ‘hospitable mansion” on the 2}st. On the 24th, in St. Andrew’s Church, Burke county, 18 persons were confirmed—“‘a numerous congregation” being present. On the 26th he preached at St. Peters’ Church, Lincoln county, to a small congregation, aid on the 27th in the same church confirmed seven persons. Mr. Miller assisted in the service. On the 28th and 29th, he officiated at “Smyrna” “without any appearance of in- terest on the part of the few who attended.” On the 80th and 81st, he oficiated at Whitehaven, assisted by Mr. Miller,and con- firmed nine persons, and “administered the Holy Communion to a small number of seri- ous people.’ On the 4th of November, he performed divine service again at White- haven, preached on the subjeet of Contirma- tion, and administered that rite to seven more persons.

Parson Dent, and Jonathan Barber had marricd two Misses Swan —aunt and nicce—and the parson on returning to Maryland, lett his nephew in charge of this tract of land, just mentioned, giving him the usc of it rent-free for ten years, Jack Turner, whose wife was a Dent, was the father of Wilson and Joseph Turner a d ‘others, Wilson Turner, (brother of Jack) was the father of Wilfred Turner, and others.

He reported at that time six communicants at St. Lukes, and 58 at Christ Church. Onthe 24th of November of the same year, Mr. Wright accepted a call to the Rectorship of these two Parishes. His salary was fixed at $500.00—one half of which was assured by the vestry of Christ Church. The contract ‘on the part of Christ Church with St. Lukes was signed by William Cowan, John Swan and David Cowan, On the 27th, Bishop Ravenscroft preached in the Court House in Svisbury, which the Bishop said “was more convenient to the inhabitants general- ly than the Church, situated at the extreme ead of the town”—in the old Lutheran Cem- etery.

During that year St. Andrews Church was organized asa Parish, and Mr, Miller became its Rector. Notwithstanding his re- moval to Burke county, (now Caldwell), Mr, Miller did not entirely lose sight of his flock in Iredell, Rowan and Linco!n coun- ties—but for several years continued to make periodical visitations from time to time of the congregations and families com- mitted to his care. He is remembered with great affection and esteem by some of the older people—as coming down on such oc- casions, preaching at the little churches, and other places, catechizing the children, and baptizing a great many, distributing the Bread of Life to the faithful, visiting the Episcopal families as he had opportunity, and iike soine ether old gentlemen of that day, wearing the old fashioned knee- breeches, St. Peters Church, Lexington, (then of ftowan) was admitted into union with the Diocese at the (Raleigh) Convention of 1822.

He died early in the Summer of) 1834, hav- ing ived alone life tull of years and use- fulness in the scrvice of his Master. le was a truly pious, sincere Christian—and_ not— withstanding his apparent inconsistencies of conduct, Was devotedly attached all his life to the church of his baptism; and he was Instrumental in a larger degree than any other one person in’ keeping alive a knowledge of Episcopacy inthe western part of the State. Wherever he went, his ministrations were always welcome. Mr, Miller's descendants are numcrous, one of Wwhom—Miss Amanda Ifaigher—is the wife of Mr. Lewis V. Brown, late of Salisbury, but now of Denton, Texas. Bishop Ives in his address to the Conven- tion of 1835, thus alludes to the death of this venerable and saintly servant et God: “T notice with unfeigned sorrow,the death, during the past year, of the Rev. Robert Johnstone Miller, of Burke county, a Clergy- man, of whom we may emphatically say, Sor him to live w1s Christ, and to die is gain. Brethren of the clergy let us follow his ex- ample of humility, of faith and patience, that ours may be his crewn of eternal glory, through Him who has washed us from our sins in Ilis own Blood.” It was through the instrumentality of Mr. Miller, that fraternal relations were estab- lished between the Lutheran Synod and the) Episeopal Convention, by a mutual inter- change ef delegates from one to the other for several years previons to the consecra- tion of Bishep Ravenscroft.

Juan hour she appeared among the peacocks with red ribbon around her neck, a gay feather over her ear, and a red wollen rag tied around her leg, She strutted about and tried to make herself at home but one of the pea- cocks stepped forward and said ; ‘You are simply deceiving your- self. Weall know you fora hen. While you were acting the part of a hen we all respected you. Now that you are crowding in where you don’t belong, and where neither natnre nor education have fitted you, you de- serve only contempt.’ The hen persisted in trying to be a peacock, and as she strutted around in her borrowed finery the cook ob- served her and said : .‘No hen with her means could have come by those things honestly. She was the best hen in the coop as long asshe remained in her place, but now that she is out of it she will be gossiped about and made misera- ble, and I will therefore wring her neck and cat her.?— Detroit.

Her grief was terrible to witness. “Good heavens!” she cried, “he had his best new trou- ners on add of course they are spoilt !” | f . . together despite the high tempera- ‘ture. Mr. Faraday made another ex- | periment of the same sort. He threw | into a vessel full of water several | pieces of ice. They floated on the sur- \face of the water.

In consequence of this property ice is endowed with singular plasticity. A rope anda knot ora buckle may be made of ice. It may be molded. Theschoolboy who fills his hands with snow and compresses it ina ball, produces the phenomenon of re- freezing, and forms an_ ice ball suffi- ciently hard to prove a dangerous projectile, | relations This explains the extraordinary rigidity of the bridges of snow which are often seen in the Alps suspended over deep crevasses. The Alpine guides, by cautiously walking’ on these snowy masses, freeze the parti- cles together and transform the snow inte ice. If snow be compressed in molds, ice statuettes may be obtained. Fill a hellow ball with snow, pressed in as hard as possible, aud you may obtain ice balls admirably translucid, Ltoston Post. i decanters, all of snow. A gentleman in Paris served sherry wine to his friends before a hot fire in beakers made of suow. Siiow compressed in this way does not not melt so rapidly as might be thought. Ice requires a great deal of heat before it melts. A layer of ice often becomes a protection against cold. If you would prevent anything from sinking to a temperature below thirty-two degrees during the very severest frosts, we know you have but to wrap itin wet rags. The pro- cess of freezing gives to the environ- ing bodies all the heat necessary to destroy it. The water in the rags slowly forms small pieces of ice on the rag, and in the meantime disen- gages heat, which warms the object wrapped in the rags. A tree wrapped in rags, or in moss saturated with water, does not freeze even when the thermometer is several degress below the freezeing point. The slowness with which ice melts is well known. During the winter of 1740 the Czar built at St. Petersburg a magnificent palace of ice which lasted several years. Since then can- nons have been made of ice, aud they have been loaded with balls and fired. They ten times without bursting. Itis consequently indispu- table that ice melts slowly, and may be turned to good account in the polar regions, In Siberia the win- dows have panes of ice, The remarka- ble property with particles of ice are endowed of molding them- selves into different shapes by freez- were fired which ing easily explains how glaciers make their way through narrow gorges and expand in valleys. The ice is broken into fragments which refreeze when- ever they touch. See The Dead Turtle’s Head. When we were boys—that fs broth- er and I—I went down on the creck one day late in the Spring and found a large turtle crossing a narrow neck of land between two holes of water. Quiek as thought I got out my knife and cut down a hickory switch and had it fast of the turtle and twisted a withe and soon arourd the neck my capture, IL besieged mother to covk the old gentleman for dinner as it was hardly sun rise when I got home with him, but she was averse te having anything to do with the “ag!s brute.” She finally assented, on con- dition that I should clean him ready for the pot. - After much sawing with my barlow knife I got his head off and threw it down into the lower cor- had the old tellow ready and in good shape for ner of the yard, I soon cooking, When he was thordugly done my youngest brother and I made a fine dinner off of him, though I co..- fess every wouthful I swallowed feit like it had claws on it. Mother would not taste it. My second brother, Fernando, three years younger than I, had started to will eight miles distant before day- light that morning. ‘To mill and back when one had to wait for his tur was a day’s work then. About home and while I was putting the meal away he went tosce the turtle’s head around which the chickens just coming home sun down brother eame to roost were making a great to do. When I came ont of the smoke house I walked down to where brother stood gazing at the turtle’s head. “What is this?” he asked. “It is the head of a fine old turtle,” I answered ; “I caught him this morning and mother cooked him for dinuer and it was fine ; she saved some of it for you.” With that brother stooped down over the head to get a better view of it and said, “Why brother it has its mouth open, do you suppose it could lite now ?” “Well really I Con’t know,” I an- swered, “suppose you put your finger in and see.” Brother was always a dull boy—so [ thought—and slow of motion; so with great deliberation and perfect equanimity he poked his finger away down into the turtle’s mouth and in a twinkling the ponderous jaws clused down upon him with a sort of death grip. Brother was quick then and ran all over the yard squalling like a Comaneh: Indian and slinging his hands wildly in all directions. Moth- er came out and help me to catch him when. we prized the turtle’s jaws open aud set brother’s finger free. Brother wanted to fight but mother wouldn’t let him. She said, “I do wish you boys would behave yourselves, you yy . ’ . < { Nothing woald be easier than to dine! with a service made of moulded snow ; Wea'd he Ict me tell this story on him are more trouble to me than all my money.” Brother never tasted turtle meat as long as I knew him, ner ‘ ’ "while he remained in this country ;) dragged him up Lome quite proud of but he is in ‘Texas now and I let it out.

His explanation was as follows: Every year in the coming scason he sends to all the wholesale houses which make a business of canning tomatoes clean tubs, with the understanding that the women who ly and painful death is the inevitable con. trim and peel shall throw the skins and par- sequence. ings into these tubs; every day the tubs are _ remevcd, the stuff in them ground up, fer- mented, favored, and sold as tomato caisup to the extent of $18,000. Another singular and decidedly pernicious business is the manufacture on a large scale of cheap candies from white earth or terra alba mixed with a little sugar and glucose. The deputy who investigated the confec- tionery business reports that seventy-five percentum of some candies is composed of these substanecs, and such candy, notably “gum drops,” contain still less sugar. The effect of white earth upon the stemachs of the uNfortunate children who buy these candies is yet to be determined by future autopsies, What is called a tine brand of castile soap has been found to be composed chiefly of this white earth and grease, but the evil effects of such an imposture are trifling compared to the results of turning children’s stomachs into miniature pottery store thus preserved the oxygen can be drawn by a small hand pump. From the fact of the charcoal absorbing oxygen in so much greater proportion than nitrogen, we have here a means of utilizing its discriminative powers of selection in ob- taining unlimited supplies of oxygen from the atmosphere, which contains nitrogen five times in excess of its oxygen, or twenty per cent; whereas by the separating or selec- tive powers of the charcoal the mixed gases capable of being extracted from it contain over sixty per cent of oxygen. It only suf- fices to withdraw this now highly oxygen- ized air into another vessel of charcoal, by the further exposure to which the prepor- tion of oxygen will be increased to a still greater extent. This indicates a most feasi- ble means by which atmospheric air can be decomposed in such a way as to provide a cheap supply of oxygen. One cannot readily recognize the fact, which is nevertheless true, that the condens- ing power of charcoal as applied to am- monia is equal to what would be obtained by subjecting this gas to a pressure of near- ly one thousand two hundred and sixty pounds on the square inch.

In fact, it includes so much that is of value and importance in life, that it may almost be said that, in proportion to its power, does the man obtain his manhood and the woman her womanhood. The abil- ity to identify self with the highest parts of eur nature, and to bring all the lower parts into subjection, or rather to draw them all upwird into harmony with the best that we know, is the central power which supplies vitality to all tne rest. How to develope this in the child mey well absorb the cnergy of every parent ; how tocultivate it in him- self may well employ the wisdom and en- thusiasm ef erery youth. Yet it is ne mys- terious or complicated path that leads to this goal. The habit of self-control is but the accumulation of continued acts. ef self- denial for a worthy object; it is but the re- peated authority of the reason over the im- pulses, of the judgment ever tlic inclinations, of the sense of duty over thé desires. He who has acquired this habit, who can gov- ern himself intelligently, without painful effort, and without any fear of revolt from his appetites and passions, has within him the source of all real power and of all true happiness. The force and energy which he has put forth day by day, and hour by hour, iz not exhausted, nor even diminished; on the contrary, it has increased by use, and has become stronger and keener by exer- cise; and, although it has already complet- ed its work in the past, it is still his -well- tried, true, and powerful weapon for future conflicts in higher regions.—Philadelphia Ledger. fo Squire tan the Courts of es A gentleman passed up the road this week from Raleigh where he bad spent some days and mingled more or less with the members of the Legislature.

Her mavners are easy and grace- fal; she isa fine eonversationalist and a most eaptivating hostess, It is to be re- gretted that one so eniinently fitted to adorn ber own hone—such a queen of the salon—does not have her own residence jin the city, where she would have a more extended sphere to display those social charms with which she is se richly endowed.” We have heard never so many times that “our Zeb,” wade no mistake in this matter.

Tnanguration Matters—The Election Count in the Senute—Senater Conkling’s Speech, (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Wasutycton, D, C:, Feb. 5, 1881. During the week, the electoral coubt question has occupied nueh of the atten- tion of the Senate; the inter-ogeanie canal and railroad projects have had the distin - guished attention of the lobby ; while so- ciety in general is divided between the gayeties of the season, und the prospect- ive splendors of the grand inauguration Jete and festivities to take place four weeks But one thing-is needfyl—propi- tious weather. Unless the skies shall beam more kindly on Washington than now, al] these elaborate preparations for 3B grand processioiy mmaminoth decora- tions, Aud a stupendous ball, must meet hence, multitudinous pilgrimage from the frozen lakes, the praries, Plymouth Rock, the orange groves, and one or twe other locali- ties in the Union, will have its nose frost bitten, The 4th of March isa traditionally bustly day, and ldo not believe that Yeunor himself is able to ameliorate the eager and nipping cruelty of the prover- bial weather. There is mach talk and disenssion of weans for the entertainment of the unu- sually large uumber of visitors who are expected to be in the city during the in- auguration. Many of the military com- panies purpose to sleep in the Pullman ears that bring them here. Seme propose to challenge the horrors of war by bivou- acing in the public parks. Baltimore and Alexandria, are making preparations to accommodate those whom it is thought will prefer to seek lodging outside the overcrowded city. No matter what may be the disappoiutments and the regrets of the oceassion, those who come here to see acrowd will be satistied, if not happy. The question of the organization of the Senate, whether it will be Republican or Dewocratic, has gained additional inter- est from the equivoeal attitude of Senator David Davis. The ponderous Iinoisian does not make a graceful weather-cock, but just now he is thought to be as tickle as those effigies of the “bird of dawning” which ornament the barn mivarets of his western State, They say that, while the Democrats were in power and everything: looked promising for them, this. hugo ia-. dicator voted after the lead of Thurnian ; now, when times are ticklish, he votes with the Republicans, aud many think he will tilt the Ameriean upper honsd of millionaries and bosses to their side. Senator Conkling’s speech on the Mor- Vice-President to count the electoral vote,; was the event of the week. As usual, when jt beeomes noised around that the great New York Seuator’had the floor there was a rush for the galleries, and be- fore the close of his brief speech they were comfortably filled by an attentive and ad- miring audjanee, The radieal ground he took iu sujjport of the again Pkoposition of the resolution and his refusal to follow the Jead of the body of Republicansin their refusal to yote, thus raising the question of a quorum and preventing the disposal of the resolution yesterday was the subject of mach comment at the time and throughout the city last night, CxAS > > ae A bill has beey introduced in the Legis- lature of Connecticut djreeting the Gov- erbor fo appoint 3 conmnission of three to prepare a small book for use jn public schools, showing such facts as seience and experience have verified with regnrd to the effect of aleoholic liquors on the body and braiu, and the relation of aleohotic drinks to personal estate and public well- being, — Republican. ~~ We understand that Hon.

Monday night last, about half-past nine o'clock, a bright light burst forth from the tobacco fabtory of J.H, Mekl- wee, leeated near the depots. Phe struc- ture being of wood clriefly, only a short while afterwards the whole was envelop- ed in flames and lighted up the town and adjacent coumtry with almost the bright- ness of day. Ina few hours the entire building and contents were destroyed, except the chimneys and brick work left standing. ‘The theory of the fire is that, thieves committed a robbery of a portion of the manufactured intentionally or accidentally set if on fire. The children of Mr. Otho Barkley who resides not far off say, that before tobacco and then, men loitering in the vieinity of the faeto- ry, that afterwards they saw tobaeco pitched out the windows, aud af- ter that the fire occurred, Fire had not been used iu the stove after Yor 4otclock, and on closing at night, Mr. Thomas Allison who was one of the employees, says, he, according to custom sprinkled water the floor and the entrance of the pipe, aud is satisticd it did net originate there.

Mr. McElwee, whois 2 most. enter- prising and public spirited citizen, and has dove much for the tobacco interest in this place and section, has the profound sympathy of our community. We are satistied they will lend him a helping hand to again recommence a business for whieh he isso well qualified, and that soon. another and larger establishment will occupy the site of the late eoutla- gration, ee Dispatches from England indicate that the government,is in earnest. It realizes that the country is in’ peril, and tliat the government cannot afford to deal gently with those who are in opposition. A Lerisis was upon the House, and the Spea- Ker usurped authority, confident that: majority of the House would support Inim and cut off debate, which was merely obstructive in its chatacter, by “naming” When the member named declined to take his seat the crash came, wid he was suspended. The hiapority of the House stood faithfully by. the govern ment, and one by one the Home Rulers Were cither suspended or expelled and forcibly ejected. Thus thirty-three mem- bers have been. at least for the time, un- seated.

Kditor Carolina Watehman: We are all alive yet, and nearly all well, no fiealthier season ever having blessed any portion of our country, than the present winter, thus far. For the lust three weeks, the weather, though cold, has been sach as to cause the snow, which has so Jong robed the earth in White, to almost eutirely disappear. Like other portious of our country, we experi- enced, a few wecks ago, a few of the cold- est days known of this latitade, for a great imany years. ‘Traly the present has heen a wintér of the wight sort. No one is now heard murmuring that the weather has been too wang for the sea- sou; and those who have always had s¢ insatiable an appetite for snew, can now boast of having, for once at Jeast, had their fill. Ttis hoped that the intensely cold snap, experienced some time ago, has destvoyed infiuite numbers of these pes- have, for the last many years, been soimarkedly inimical to our gardens and orchards ; and that) the present vear will prove to be one of unn- sua} abundance in cereals, as well as in garden vegetables, and orchard fruits.

Though sorry for all who, through privations and cold, were suffering, we were satified that an oeca- sional snow is, to those who are prepared for it, a welcome Visitor, aud onelt to be aud generally is, hailed with joy. We remembered well the joy which uscd to be awakened in us by its appearance; and, although, as we crow older its charms With us, diminish, vet. we must) confess that we never sce.it falling withont expe- nencing a measure of that delight which Was so vividly felt in by-gone days. It would be exceedingly refreshing to us, to see that some substantial good bad been accomplished by our Lepislature. Already a great portion of:the session is past, and we havewyet to see the first ac- count of any important results. We are looking, with deep concern, for the pro posed act against the distillation of aleho- hol. Weare in favor of a jndicions pro- hibitory act, but are fearful, lest such oan act be made too sweeping, and thereby seperate injuriously.on the people, by de- priving them of the opportunity of ob- taining that whichis necessary aga medi- cine. “The wost learned and experienced medical authorities throughout the eivil- ized world, all bear testimony to the in- trinsie value of alchohol, as a stimulant, in various low stafés of the hnman sys— tem, consequent on disease; and while We would not, on any account, wish to interpose any obstacle to the passage of an aet the effect of which would lessen, by ten-fold, the comission of crimes in our state, we would, nevertheless, ven— ture to express a hape that duce provis- ions will be wade fur the sick. i So meet Other subjects, demanding legislation. filly as muelras that of the distillation of alchohel, grow: out ‘of the Homestead clause of our coustitation ; and it is sin— cerely hoped that, when the act to make drunken men sober +b tl have been passed others will be passed to make dis- honest men honest, orat least, to cause them te cease taking advautuge of others by false pretedse, and to kuow that, wherever they acquire any valuable con- sideration thus surreptitiously, a warrant of arrest awaits them. For thirteen years, nearly, the Home- stead Lawdhas, for the want of proper legislation under it, been a great curse to our State. Tt has been a great instiga— tor of, and license for, the perpetration of fraud; and it is exceedingly strange that so many legishitures should have sat without even ounce seeming to have reco nized the fundamental priuciples on which ali legislation, under this law, should) be based. Legislation, uuder this head, it is believed, should) be so shaped as to teach the people that just as, under cur governincnt, protectiou demands alle— giance at their hands, so does the Home-— stead law dewaud houesty aud fair deal- ing ou their part. It should teach them that, although they can not be imprison- ed, nor their homesteads sold for debt, they can be imprisoned, and punished, for traud. A great many offenses which, before the operation of the Homestead Law, were not very ciimiual, are now highly 80, by reason of the protection of the of- fender in the enjeyment of his property and should be su declared, by statute, in every instance, and punishment affixed accordingly: Such offences are very com— mon. For example, a dishonest whelp steps into a store, and strolling along the counter,asks te ble credited for goods, prefacing his application for eredit, with assurances that, if trusted; le will -cer- tainly pay in a very-shert time; he ob— tains the goods desired, departs, and his subsequent course shows clearly that he had never intended to pay for them. Is not such a fellow guilty of a most tlag- rant and palpable fraud? If so, why has no Legislature, daring the long period of thirteen years, ventured, in its law-mak- ing capacity, to so say? Bat some will say that the Legishiture has made provis- ion for laborers’’ Hens, eheap chattel mortgages, and the issue of warrants of arrest, in certain cases. We admit that such is a fact, but must beg leave to aver in the most solemn and positive manner, that the above provisions are utterly in- ndeqnate to the purposes for whieb they Were intended, and that nothing sbort of of ® comprehensive, and general -act, de- fining and punishing fraud, can possibly harmonize the Homestead Law with the cowmmon geod, and well-being of society. ICHTHYOPHAGvs. Hon. W. M. Robbins, ina public speech in Statesville, took the ground that the Legislature should not pass an absolute prohibitory liquor law, dut should submit the question to the people to say wheth- er or not they want it. This is just about what the Legisfature will do.— Char. Ob. ee Factory Burnep.—Charleston, S.

Gevernor Tryon,being in Salisbury, on the 20th day of May, 1767, went into the office of Jolin Frohock, Clerk of the County Court and Register, “and examined all the Regis- try books, and fully approved of the methed they were kept-in. Cols, Palmer and Wad- dell were in company with the Governor. Cel. Palmer fou dying in.one of the books acopy ofacall to the Rev. (Richard) Sankey, read it to the Governor, and at his Excel- lency’s request, took it with him to take a copy thereof.” See Register’s book 6. p. 397. The Clerk's effice was then kept in the house of Mr. William Steele. I think, that: this call may have been made by a vestry of St. Luke's Parish. Elections for vestrymen were held every three years. And I suppose the polls were usually opened at the preper times. It is probable, therefore, that elec- tions were held on Easter Monday, in the years, 1758, 1761, 1764, 1767 and 1770. Mr. Sankey, seems to have been in Rowan as early as the year 1758—for on the 5th day of September, 1758, he married John Braley to Sarah Carruth, ef Rowan county, (Regis- ter’s book, 7, p. 302). He is said to have been a Virginian and a Presbyterian. But I think it probable, that he had received Episcopal ordination. I cen find out noth- ing satisfactory abeut him. He must have returned te Virginia before the date of Gov. Tryon’s visit. In those days the fecling was well-nigh unanimous, that the Christian religion must be established and maintained as the Law of the State. Nothing proves this more plainly than the “instructions” given tothe delegates from Mecklenburg county in 1775: “13. You are instructed to assent and con- sent to the establishment of the Christian religion as contained in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, and mere briefly comprised in the 39 articles of the Church ef England, excluding the 37th ar- ticle, together with all the articles except- ed and not to be imposed on dissenters by the act of toleration, and clearly held forth in the Confession of faith compiled by the Assembly of Divines at Westminster, to be the Religion of the State, to the utter ex- clusion forever ef all and every other (false- lv so-called) Religion, whether Pagan or Papal, and that the full, free and peaceable enjoyment thereof be secured to all and every constituent member of the State as their in- alienable right as freemen, without the im- position of rites and ceremonies, whether claiming civil or eeclesiastic power for their source, and that » confession and profession of the Religion so established shall be necessary in qualifying any person for pub- lic trust in the State. If this should not be confirmed --protest and remonstrate.” “14. You are instructed to oppose tothe utmost,any particularchurch or set of clergy- men being invested with power to decree rites and ceremonies, aud te decide in con- troversies of fuith to be submitted to under the influence of penal laws—you are also to Oppose the establishment of any mode of worship to be supported to the oppasitien of the rights of constience, together with the destruction of private property.

It was not until the year, 1790, that an effort was made torevive their drogping spirits, Aconvention met in Tarborough,organized a “standing committee” and elected delegates to the General Convention. Shertly there- after the Rey. Dr. Halling ef Newbern, ob- tained the necessary credentials. and was erdained hy Bishop Madison of Virginia. A second convention was held in Tarborouch in the year, 1793. And a third was held in the same town on the last Wednesday in May, 1794—when and where the Rey. Chas. Pettigrew was clected Bishop of the Diocese of North Carolina. For some reason satis- factory te himself the Rev. Mr, Pettigrew never made application for consecration “It is a melancholy reflection,” ‘says the Rev. Mr. Miller, “for me to be obliged to say, that no beneficial effects resulted from all these efforts to revive the spitit and cause of Episcopaey in the State of Nerth Carolina. Yet such was the fact. They were by no means commensurate with the wishes and hopes of its real friends; for the prospect rather became more dense jn ‘gloom. Un- der the pressure of many cptyplicated ditfi- culties, our wonder will geage, that the ef. forts of the few remaining friends of the Episcepal Church in this State— had so lit- tle effect, and that a declination, instead of a revival took place. The clergy were not only discouraged and dispirited, but were obliged in most cases to turn theirattention to other objects in order to procure the necessarics of life. Twenty-three years the stream of time rolled along, and no star ap- peared in any quarter ef our horizon to cheer the gloom that had enveloped our hopes and our spirits. From 1794 te 1817, all was dark and dreary, yet the great Re- deemer had not forgot His gracious promise. It was then that the day-star from. on high visited us in mercy ; when two Heaven-sent heralds of the everlasting Gospel came to Wilmington and Fayetteville, and there laid the foundation of the restoration of the Episcopal Church und cause in North Caro- lina.” The “heralds” referred to were the Rev. Messrs. Adam Empie and Bethel Judd. I cannot better describe the growth and progress of Episcopacy in Rowan county than by giving brief biographical sketches of the ministers who have officiated within its bounds. I will first begin with the name of ROBERT JOUNSTONE MILLER, He was a Scotchman by birth, and was born and brought up, until his fifteenth year, in the Episcopal Church of Scotland, under the ministry of the venerable Bishop Rail, who was upwards of cighty years old, when young Miller left Scotland and eame to America, At what time he came to this country, Ido not know; probably a short time before the Revolutionary war. He re- sided in Virginia fer some years, and gbout the year 1784, connected himself with the Methedists, who, Mr. Miller says, at that time professed to be members of the Epis- copal Church. In the same year he prrode with Dr, Coke to a conference in’ Franklin county, in this State.” Dr. Coke was an or- dained priest of the Church of England who had previously been ordained a Bishop by Wesley, Mr. Miller says, that although dis- satistied with the Methodist. system — he himself being thoroughly persim@ed of the truth of the Apostolic Succession —he never. theless continued with them through the year 1735, in the Tar River circuit, where in some measure he lost his health: for the recevery of which he came up into the west- ern part of the State. He says that during his continuance with the Methodists, they always treated him with respect. and when he withdrew himself trom anv connection with them, in 1786, “they publicly declared that they had ne charge against him what- ever, and that it was his own voluntary act, in consequence of his disapprobation of their system and rules.” About this time the people of the congregation of Wiiteha- ven, comprehending Whitehaven and the lower and Upper Smyrna in LineoIn county, applied to him to take charge of them as a congregation, in the capacity of a lay-reader merely, The people of his congregation were chiefly emigrants fram Pennsylvania and Virginia, They were a mixed people, Ger- man, English, Irish and some Seots original- ly—but at that time very destitute of any regular religious instruction, The most. of them and their fathers were and had been irembers of the Episcopal Chureh. Mr. Mil- ler agreed to become their public reader, to catechise their children and to bury their dead, Both he, and the conzregation mu- tully resolved and agreed to adhere to. the Episcopal Church, to which they were alike bound by the strong ties of hereditary pre- possession,and of love and affection,strength- ened by conviction, A congregation was organized, Church wardens and a vestry were Chosen, and an set of incorperation ob- tained from the General Assembly. Prayer- books were scarce. The congregation had a few English ones, and he procured two of the first edition trom Philadelphia. He also had) printed in Salisbury a catechism, to which he added an explanation of the twe covenants, and the Feasts of the Christian Church, together with some religious terms not gencrally understood, The most. of the congregation were under the necessity of receiving the sacraments from the hands of a Lutheran minister whe lived inthe viein- tv. With him, Mr. Miller formed an ‘inti- mate acquaintance, and with hisainisterial brethren also who lived in the, adjacent counties of Rowan, Guilford and Randolph. Mr, Miller says they pressed him with the plea of necessity to accept ordination from their hands, mentioning that the Rev, Dr. Pilmour had done se during the time of the Revolutionary war. A number of Presby- terian clergy with whom he was intimate, recommended the same course: and his con- gregation carnestly requested him ¢o accept such ordination, assuring him that they would be pertectly satistied with his minis- trations. He consented-to receive ordina- tion from them, not as a Lutheran minister, but as an Episcopalian. In the letters of the Protestant Episcopal) Church in the United States In administering the ordi- Miller says he paid as strict attention to would admit.

It was the third Conven- tion over which B Moore, of Virginia, had presided. Mr. Mil- ler, at’ this convention, was ordained by Bishop Moore, a Deacon and Priest—the first in the morning and the second in the evening of the same day, to-wit; May, 2, 1821. It is reported that when Bishop Moore read Mr. Miller's certificate of ordination, he said to him, “you belong to us.” This ance. dote is told as if Mr. Miller for the first time then conceived it his duty to ebtain Episco- pal ordination. But it is plain from what has been said, that he had never faltered in his purpose to obtain Holy Orders from the Church of his fathers, whenever a favorable opportunity presented itself. He had never ceased to consider himself a member of that Church, Ihave not access to the earliest journals of the Diocese, but I have no doubt Mr. Miller became a condidate for Orders shortly after the correspondence with the Rev. Mr. Empie began, The Rev. Mr. Miller, even after he had re- solved to obtain Episcopal ordination. still continued te administer the sacraments, and to preach to the cengregations under his care, There is an eld record of Christ Church inthe hand writing ef Mr. Miller—from Which several of the first leaves are missing, From this it appears that Mr. Miller was in the habit of administering the Holy Rite of confirmation to all who would receive it at his hands, He administered confirmation for the first time at Christ Church, Rowan county, some time previous'to the year 1820, The record cencerning it is missing. The date of his second confirmation is the third Sunday in April—16th day—1820, when he confirmed 24 persons, The following recordjis preserved of the early communions in the same Church. 4th Communion—datenot given —51 com- municants; 5th—April 16, 1820—44 com- municants; 1820—58; 18—, number not given.

Atthe Convention of 1821, Christ Church was ad- mitted into union with the Diocese. All- mand Hall attended as the first delegate. This gentleman was the ancestor of quite a number of distinguished Episcopal! families in North Carolina. One of his daughters married Mr. Chambers McConnaughey of this county. Mrs. McConnaughey is still living. and has always been a devoted Chris- tian and Church-woman. One of her daugh. ters married Dr. John L. Henderson— whose family reside in Concord, and are members of the new Episcopal congregation there. Another daughter married Dr. Thomas Hill, recently a vestryman of St. Luke’s Parish — but who has §fremoved to Goldsboro.

You can do it very easily by adopting some systematic rules. These may be summed up in brief as follows : 1.

Give plenty of. fresh aie at all) times of i ceppciallyin Sunt- mer. 6. Give plenty of fresh ater dai ly, and never allow the fewls'to go thirsty. 6. Feed them systematically, two or three times a day, and scatter the food, so that they can’t eat too fast or without properexercise. Do not feed more than they willeat up clean, or they will. get-tired of that kind of feed. 7. Give therm a variety of both dry and cooked food; 4 mixture of cooked meal and vegetables is an ex- cellent thing for their morning meal. 8. Give soft teed in the morning and the whole grain at night, except a little wheat. or cracked corn placed jn the seratching place to give them exercise tring the day, 9, Above all things keep the hen- house clean and well ventilated. 10.

Wash your roosts and bottom not crowd many in If you do, look out foy of laying nests with whitewash once a week in Summer, and once a menth jo Winter. 13. Let the okl and the young have as large a range as possible— the larger the better. 14. Don’t breed too many kinds of fowls at the same time, uniess you are going into the business, Three or four will give you your hands full. 15. Introduce new blood into your stock every year or so, by either buy- ing a cockerel or sittings of eggs from some reliable breeder. 16.

It was a success. That is, he can’t see at all by daylight, and vf course, can see just as well by pight. A deer killed in Gasconade county, Mo., a few days since, was acknow- ledged by the oldest inhabitant to be the best of the woods. It weighed 201 pounds; his antlers were 27 inches long and 22 inches apart at the points, and were over two inches in diameter. <2 - o Wuat Makes THe Max.—Many people forget that character grows ; that it is not something to put on, ready-made, with womanhood, but slay by day, here a little and there a little, grows with the growth and strengthens with the strength until, good or bad, it becomes almost a coat vf mail.

There is one specimen of the genus homo whose usefulness or capacity for mischief has never been acknowledg- ed in song or story, That a woman is at the bottom of every intrigue, has been accepted as an axiom ; that headed and dignified statesmen» Gon trol the destinies of nations is @ evident trath; that shrewed, tric business men make money markets fluctuate to the ruin of honest, work- ing classes, is a fact that needs no proofs; but the small boy—a restless, keen, indomitable, energetic medium for good or evil—acts his part on life’s stage, and after regeiving moementari- ly merited: praise or censuresis, to use his own vernacular, ‘laid onthe shelf.’ No epic has chronicled his wander- ings, and they are devious; no bard has celebrated hig troubles, and their name is legion ; and few story writers have given him a chance to make his debut among the ideal existences they create. In real life, however, he makes himself felt and heard, and to a smal] boy I owe an everlasting debt of grat+ itude, A year or two after I attained my majority, I fell desperately in love a merchant of our village, who by his labor and business tact had built quite a fortune. My mother S@eed a com- fortable house in the suburbs, but it had been with great difficulty that she gave me, her only son, an educa- tion. I had just returned home with a license to practice law, and without pausing to reflect that my mother ex- pected me to establish myself in the profession I had chosen and make her a return for the self-denials she had undergone for my benefit, I had not hung out my shingle a week before I had made up my mind to make pro- posals of marriage to my particular small boy’s sister, Miss Josephine Hanby. I thought I had as much right to old Joshua Hanby’s daughter as any one in the village. In fact, I thought in spite of my poverty and her wealth the exchange would be about equal, for I had the prestige of a wealthy ancestry, and although the homestead was sadly in need of re- pairs, I was thoroughly conscious of the fact that I was Beverly Norwood, One afternoon, in the Jatter part of May, after scveral months of devotion on Esq., heir to Norwood Place. my part,’ and enceuragement, as I thought, on Miss Josie’s, I made ny- selfas presentable as possible, and proceeded to Mr. Hanby’s house, de- termined to address the young lady and receive the blessing of mater and paterfamilias before I left. I was ad- mited by Dick Hanby, a bright eyed boy of about ten years. He was Miss Josie’s younger brother, at once the pet and pest of the household. “Ts Miss Hanby at home?” I ask- ed, nervously. “No,” said Dick, looking admir- ingly at my new beaver hat, slender cane and lavender kids. “But come rin Mr. Norwood, she will be in ina minute, She stepped across the street to have her frizzes fixed on Miss Wil- lis’ curling tongs. Come in and wait for her,” he added opening the door wider and sticking his chubby hands in his pockets, as if he was preparing returning through the warm san, dis- appointed. I walked into the esol, elegant parlor, and seated myself in one of the arm chairs stationed in a large bay window. Dick perched himself on the arm of the oposite chair. There was a moment’s silence, which Dick broke by asking, “Are you of the kid glove gentry ?” - The questfon startled me, and I wondered where the boy had heard that expression. I answered, “I don’t know what you mean, Dick. Please explain. “Why, just this,” said Dick, crossing his leg, and steadying himself on the arm of the chair, “Father told sis Joe the other night, that if she fell in love with one of the kid-glove gentry, she might bid farewell to seal-skin cloaks, silk dresses and Jong feathers.” T hoped he would: repeat more of the conversation, but could not make up my mind to encourage the boy to proceed. I replied, therefore, “I hope Iam a gentleman by birth and edu- eation.” “T thought so,” said Dick, with a with the beautiful young daughter of to argue with me on the expdiency of: I took out my knife to assist in on- buttoning them. They were so tight I did not have the full use of my fin- gers. Dick’s eyes brightened, and pulling out his old Barldw, he ex- claimed joyfully. “Swap knives with me and Pil tell you, You are the very man that ought to know it.” “This last sentence was too mach— I confess it, I-passed my new, hand- some knife over to Dick, and pock- eted his rusty Barlow, with one blade. Dick said, patronizingly « “Yesterday Mr. Ben. Dibble (yon know he owns nearly all Dibbleton) asked futher if he might marry sis Joe. Father said he might, and he told Joe last night that when Mr. Dibble pro- posed, she might say yes. Sis said he was too old and agip. Father then told Joe how many nice things he would give her and what a fine lady she would be. He made Joe’s face turn red when he said she had better not try poverty with the poor kid glove gentry that did not know how te work, had no more business with a wife than a pig had with heli- day. He told Joe it was a great deal better to have something to put in the mouth, and plenty of fine clethes than to be Mrs. Norwvod of Norwood Place with an empty larder aud cali- co gown, He said you did not show as much energy. as your father had shown,and that he would have thought you would have worked night and day nntil you had made your mother’s sitygsion what it was years ago. He told Joe to accept Mr. Dibble, and she’s got the pretticst, shiniest ring on her finger you ever saw. Joe hey- self says it is a very fine diamond, and worth everything in your office—” The boy paused, for his sister’s step sounded on the front piazza.— With a bound he sprang through the open window, and I had recovered myself entirely when the young lady entered the room, Her round, rosy face, saucy black eyes, wavy black hair, and retrousse nose did not seem to make as pleasing a fout ensenble as usual, But I did not allow myself to dwell on this, for Dick’s mischiev- ous face was up before me, und his mocking voice seemed to yell “seur grapes” itself. and returned to my office determined when the thought presented I made a short, formal eall, to work as I had never worked before.

Jews and Jesuits. In pleading for religious liberty in the Evangelical Alliance in the Brick his masterly argument before church, on Sabbath evening, the Hon, George H. Andrews claimed that Jesuits and Jews should be exempt from persecution, and, if behaving themselves as good subjects or citi- zens, should have equal privileges with others. But, he said, if, asa people or a society, they set themsel- ves openly or secretly against the Constituion and Jaws of the country, if they are plotting mischief against the State and abusing their lHberty to the injury of the Government that gives them the very liberty they are thus abusing, they justly deserve and must expect to receive the censure of the Government, a ‘ This may result in their expulsion, and they have no right to complain of such a result. These distinctions are significant and important. In the case of the Jesuits there can be no doubt that they are enemies to every Govern- ment which they cannot contro’. Even Popes have found it necesscry to expel them. It is claimed that the Jews are mischievous in Germany, of this we have not the evidence to rently it conflict with the spirit of the age. The Berlin correspondent of Evan- gelical Christendom asserts that there is ne party in Germany which wishes to limit the civil rights of the Jews, but the writer says that the liberal press of Germany is largely in the hands of the Jews, and, of course, is hostile to Christianity. The Roman Catholics unite with the Conserva- tives in opposition to the Jews, who are regarded as enemies of the reli- gion of the people. In this country, if the press was in the hands of the enemy, we would establish presses which the majority would support. We would not de- prive the enemy of the right to print, but we would stop reading what he prints. That would soon stop the printing.—, Y. Observer. Purified Love.

W.'T. Hawkins, of Tennessee, that he was heavy of heart because his affianced bride in Nashville did not write te him, died just before the arrival of a letter in which the lady curtly broke the engage— ment. Col. Hawkins had been requested by his dying comrade to open any epistle which might come to him thereafter, and upon reading the letter in question, penn- ed the following answer :— MY FRIEND. Your letter, lady, came too late, For Heaven had claimed its own ; Ah! sudden change from prison bars Into the great white throne! Aud yet I think he would have stayed To live for his disdain Could he have read the careless words Which you have sent in vain. So full of patience did he wait Through many a weary hour, Not even death had power, And you! did others whisper low Their homage in your ear, As though amongst their shallow throng His spirit had a peer? I wonld that you were by me now, To draw the sheet aside, And see how pure the look he wore The moment when he died. The sorrow that you gave to him Had left its weary trace As ’twere the shadow of the Cross Upon his pallid face. - “Her love,” he said, ‘could change for me The winter's cold to spring.” Ah, trust of fickle maiden’s love, Thou art a bitter thing ; For when these valleys, bright in May, Once more with blossoms wave, The Northern violets shall grow Above his lonely grave. Your dole of scanty words had been Bat one more pang to bear, For him who kissed unto the last Your tress of golden hair, I did not put it where he said, For when the angels come I would not have them find the sign Of falsehood in the tomb. I’ve read your letter and I know, The wiles that you had wrought, To win that noble heart of his And gained it—cruel thought ! What lavish wealth men sometimes give For what is worthless all ; What manly bosoms beat for truth In folly’s falsest thrall. You shall not pity him, for now His sorrow has had an end: Yet would that you could stand with me Beside my fallen friend, And I forgive you for his sake, As he—if it be given— May e'en be pleading grace for you Before the court of heaven. To-night the cold winds whistle by, As I my virgil keep Within the prison dead-house, where Few mourners come to weep, A rude paint coffin holds his form, But death exalts his face, And I would rather see him thas Than clasped in your embrace. To-night your home may: shine with lights, And ring with merry song, And you be smiling as your soul Had done no deadly wrong. Your hand so fair that none would think It penned these words of pain, Your skin so white—would God your heart Were half so free from stain. I'd rather be my comrade dead Than you in life supreme, For yours, the sinner’s waking dread, And his the martyr’s dream. Whom serve we in this life, we serve In that which is to come. He chose his way ; you yours; let God Prononnce the fitting doom ! ‘““We don’t want all this, we don’t want it,” said an attorney to a yoluble old lady on the witness-stand, ‘it is irrelevant.” But COMMUNICATED. tion, The Association met accordi ment, Pres. Wilborn in the : the members were pom except J. F. Beatty, of Gold Hill. Rev. H. M. Brown, of Franklin Acade- my, W. A. Thomason, of Unity, and G. A. Green, of Scotch Irish, were elected to Aetive membership. Messrs. 0. D. Da- vis, County Examiuer, and T. F. Klattz, were elected Members. The Executive Committee reported top- = for discussion, for March, 12th, as fol- ows : : 1. Phe Best Mode of Teaching Spelling: Lead Messrs. Davis and Moser. 2. How to secure a better attendance of pdpils at Scheol : Leaders, Mesars, Wit- a sa Brown. mance of duty, and was. ged. The Topics for the day, viz, “The Best Method of Teaching English Grammar,” and “The Characteristics of the Model Teacher,” were then taken up and dis- comee by the Leaders and other mem- re. From the query Box, several queries were discussed at lémgth, to the mutual eutertainment and improvement of the Association. (This is one of the most valuable fea- tures of the organization, as any teacher may introduce, iucognito, any query he desires to have answered, and thus eb- tain the views of each member thereon. The queries may be on any subject con- nected with School work.) Under the head of new business, “The North Carolina Educational journal” was adopted as the Organ of the Association. On motion, Vice Presideut Moser in the chair, a committee of three, consist- ing of Messrs. .Wilborn, McNeill and Brewn, were appointed to consider the expediency of holding a Teachers’ Insti- tute in this County during the summer to consult with the Board of County Com- missioners and the County Examiner, and to correspond with the Agent of the Pea- body Fund on this subject. The Secretary was ordered to furnish a synopsis of the meeting to the Watchman and the N. C. Educational Journal.

Several Congressional Scenes—But Little Legislation—Some reasons Why Congress- men are Sick and Unfit for Work. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) WasHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 12, 1881. a National legislative point of view, but we have had a scene in the Senate in which Senator Conkling and Butler acted and two scenes in the House, in one of which Messrs. Blackburn and Frye were principals, and in the other Messrs. Cox and Reagan held the leading roles. I had almost omitted to mention the monoto- nous ceremony on counting and declaring the electoral vote. But little busiuess has been transacted; the Senate, the House and the committees of both are behind with their work. If the truth must be teld, the National Congress is dissipa- ted. There are too many wild young members from the country, and too many festive old rakes from the city in the House and in the Senate. If it were pos- sible to get the* essence of candor from these gentlemen, they would confess that their main object here in Washington is not to transact business for 50,000,000 people, but to have a good time; that they regard the work of committees and congressional sessions very much as thoughtless boys de the confinement of the school room. This is the way alone in which so much absenteeism can be ac- counted for, and the reason why mem- bers and senators are listless, sigk, and unfit for work may be explained, nine times in ten, by the fact that they have spent the previous night in de- bauchery, or in what is not much less hurtful, social dissipation. The experi- ence of the reader will bear me out in the assertion that an average man over thir- ty cannot dance all night and be fit for work the next day ; neither can he eat, drink, and earouse at saloons, brothels, gambling houses, or -political symposia, and have a clear head for legislative work. If the average member of Congress is none too bright at best, what must he be when worn out and fuddled! Debanch- ery and social dissipation is prevalent in official and political life to a deplorable extent in Washington. I do not say that it is worse than it has been, or that it is increasing. I donot know. Unfortunate- ly we have, and can have, no statistics. I only know that it is bad, and that I have not overdrawn the picture. During the next four weeks, there will be in this city represestatives from al- most every section of the country. They will admire the lb.auty of the streets, ave- nues, parks, statues, and public buildings and they will go home with the impres- sion that the National Capital is a city of surpassing cleanliness and loveliness. The police force has been doubled, and every effort will be put forth to give the best impression. But all that glitters is not gold. Surrounding the marble palaces that the government has built are numer- ous drinking saloons, and in no city of the Union are the haunts of debauchery so splendid and so prospereus. C. A. S.

Rowan County Teachers’ Assecia- Alt e ‘This week has not been eventful from ; = Hew. era in the history of French: art and artists, to whom the present Government of the Re- public, true to its advanced ‘political prin- ciples, is about to confide the organization and management of the Exhibition of works of art for the year 1881. Im-vivgue of a cir- cular issued ‘a few days ago by Mr. Julis Ferry, all painters, sculptors, étehers, and architects of French nationality having al- ready exhibited works in a “Salon” are re- quired to assemble at the Ministry of Fine Arts, on the 12th instant, for the purpose of electing a committee of ninety from among their own membérs, which’ eémmittee, in concert with the department in question, will regulate the condition¥ tebe observed ‘desiring to-exhtuit their produc’ tious ‘at the proximate*“Salon.” French Govetnments during the present-century, no- matter of what political denomination, have one and all evinced a laudable disposition to patronize and encourage the Fine Arts, but they have also been by no means charry of exercising those rights of control and inter- ference which they assumed to themselves: as a logical consequence of State patronage. To the latest of French Republics belongs the merit of having emancipated itself from official traditions in this regard, and taken the initiativein enabling the artists of France to censtitute themselves a self-governing body. The results of this courageous demo- cratic experiment wili be awaited with live- ly interest by the votaries of art in every civilized country. ; The *Citoyenna” Louise Michel seems to have hit upon a very ingenious plan for rais- ing money for the assistance of her amnes- tied friends in the present severe seasen. She offers an interview at her home, anda poem written in her early youth, to these representatives of the Reactionary journals who wish to interview her at the rate of twelve dollars per head, A writer of the Gaulois -relates that he, yesterday, took Louise Michel at her word, and was well re- ceived, having an interesting hours’ conver- sation withher. She explained that, her mother being ill, she could not spend her evenings out, and that she had devised this scheme for raising funds for the“Amnesties.” In reply to various questions, Louise Michel stated that she was an Anarchist, and that she approved ef Filix Pyat’s regicide theo- ries. She had, however, never hinted atthe advisability of assassinating M. Gamsetta in the words attributed to her, “Quands les cochons saat gras on lgs tue.” She was an Atheist, because she had remarked that all tyrannies proceeded from the ideg of God's eternal rewards. So Catholic, however, had she been that, in her childhood, she would gladly have become a sister of mercy: a re- mark which led to an exclamation of regret from her mother that she had prevented her from taking this step. The verses supplied by the “Citeyenne” to her interlocutor, and also published in the Gaulvis consist of a short poem on St. Just, not without some merit. . The letter addressed by Cardinal Guibert, Archbishep of Paris, to the members of the Chamber of Deputies, in which the Probate maintains that it would be wrong to include the “seminaristes,” of young men studying for the priesthood, in the present system of compulsory military service, is commented upon to-day by the organs of the various parties. The Rappel, in an article on the subject, argues that it would only be fair to the young men to let them sec a little of the world befure adopting a vocation that they cannot discard. Their training, under pres- ent conditiens, amounts to an “intellectual sequestration,” and it is but right that they should be in a position to chose with their eyes open. If, after leaving their regiment, they still elect for the church, well and good. There is a great deal of sound sense in the Rappel’s remarks, though they are pro ably dictated rather by hostility to the Church than by any special solisitude for the fate of the seminaristes. C.A. 8. encanta anna Josh Billings remarks: “The only way te git thru this world and eskape censure and abuse iz to take the back road. You kant on travel the main turnpike and do it. Every man’s experience of to-day is that he was a fool yesterday, and the day before yesterday. To-morrow he will most likely be exactly of the same opinion.— Mackay, “The last thing I should want to do would be to die,” said a girl to her lover. ‘Well my darling,” he replied, “I promise that it shall be the very last thing you'll do,” and she felt comforted. “Why, Franky,” exclaimed a mother, who was taking dinner at a neighbour's, “I nev- er knew you to ask fora second piece of pic at heme!” “Cause I knew ’twant no use,” mumbled Franky, as he crammed his mouth with the “second piece.” It took Sir Isaac Newton less than three years to thoroughly digest the principle of gravitation, while an Indiana farmer has spent eleven years in trying to find out why a cow never kicks until the pail is two-thirds full. Simeon adopted the following rulcs for the conduct of his life: 1. Te hear as little as pessible of whatever is to fhe prejudice of others. 2.

Reading, as an art, might almost be te:m- ed “the art ;” for while it will compare with any of its sister arts in wffording entertain- ment to the narrowest circle of the most cul- tivated, it can most readily and constantly million. Poesey alone rivals painting sculpture, and in all contests fer gupremacy disputes the palm with but poetry, if well tionist, takes.to itself increased charms, and thus reading exalts itself to the’ chief place. Imagine the vast increase of real refined en- -joyment thrown upon mankind if good read- ers were multiplied a thousand fold. Whe, |& Dickens, a Vandenhoff, a. : ing around the English . classics, ‘edmiring thousands hang entranced upon the words, and we begin+te realize what reading is as an art. Unfortunately, for the most part, in our schools reading is taught as a mechani- cal operation rather than an art, and hence the results are what might “be ex pectgd— unsatisfactory. The smallness of the num- “ber of good readers has often been remark- ed with surprise by those who hav espoken or written upen the subject, but the above ex- planation readily accounts for the melan- choly fact. After students have learned to pronounce the words accurately of their reading books, then, instead of giving place to other subjects, the Reading Class should have chief place in the recitation room. Good reading need net be so rare an accom- plishment, for with ordinary application, under proper direction, nine-tenths ef stu- dents might become good readers.— Reo. N. Burns. a ee The Cultivation of the Voice. Generally, the cultivation of the voice, which is an essential part of the curriculum of study, is left te the desultory efforts of the student in his own room, instead of placing the exercises necessary to improve the voice on the time-table as properly belonging to the lecturetoom. True, the noise arising from a class properly drilled might offend delicate nerves, but the beneficial results would more than compensate for any seem- ing irregularities in the class-room. Be- sides, scholars enjoy noise—to them a play, where quietness is enforced, has no charms. Now, this tendency to boisterousness needs but the guiding mind of the trainer to har- ness it into real service. The use of the voice on the playground is to be encouraged, for it tends te health, but in theclass-room, under the skilled teacher, it tends to both health and good elocution. One may have a good voice naturally, but only by proper training can it be made to do its work effi- ciently in reading er speaking. By all means let the voice of students be carefully trained for the practical work of life—Reo. N. Burns. Eat Slower. A respectable, elderly lady patient went to London te consult the very highest au- thority about her dyspepsia and its accom- panying ailments. She waited very pa- iiently for her turn, entered the awful pres- ence, told her pitiful stery, put out her fur- red and creased tongne. The doctor listened and said: “Um! ah! yes, just so!” Then he looked profoundly, awfully wise. “Now, doctor, what shall I de? Ihave tried everything, and nothing does me any good. Can you do anything to help me?” “Yes, madam ; you must eat slower.” She waited for her prescription, but the doctor did not write; and was evidently expecting her to go. He thought she might be hard of hearing, and spoke loud- er, ‘Eat slower.” By an involuntary, but slight movement ing te do but pay the fee. Thetwo ginueas dropped, and she sadly left his presence. Two guineas for two words! But they are richly worth the money. ‘‘Eat slewer” is very wise and very important counsel. There is a time for everything—and as eat- ing is one of the msst important things of our moral life, the time we take to do it rightly isof very great importance. —<—>-—____ Make Friends. Life is very critical. Any word may be our last. Any farewell, even amid glee and merriment, may be forever. If this truth bat burned into our consciences, and if it ruled as a deep cenviction and real power in our lives, would it not give a new mean- ing to our human relationship? Would it not make us far more tender than we some- times are? Would it not often put a rein on our rash and impetuous speech? Would we carry inour hearts the miserable suspicions and jealousies that now so often embitter the fountain of our lives? Would we be so impatient of the faults of others?. Would we allow trivial misunder- standings to build up a wall between us and those who ought to stand very close to us?

Tt was a dull day for trade. The grocer sat by the stove’ rubbing his bald head. His clerk stood at the desk balancing accounts, and three or four men lounged around. It was a serene hour. One hundred and fifty hornets had gone to roost in that nest for the winter. The genial atmos- phere began to limber them up. One old veteran opened his eyes, rubbed his legs and said it was the shortest winter he liad ever known in all his hornet days. A second shook off his lethargy and seconded the motion, and in five minutes the whole nest was alive and its owners were ready to sail out and investigate. You don’t have to hit a hornet with the broadside of an ax to make him mad. He’s mad all over all the time, and he doesn’t care a picayune wheth- he tackles a humming-bird or an elephant. The grocer was telling one of the men that he and General Grant were boys together, when he gave a sudden start of surprise. This was f=llowed by several other starts. Then he jump- ed over a barrel of sugar, yelling like a Pawnee. Some smiled, thinking he was after a funny climax, but it was only a minute before a solemn old farmer jumped about three feet high and came down to roll over a job lot of washboards. Then the clerk duck- ed his head and made a rush for the door. He didn’t get there. One of the other men who had been looking up and down to see what could be the matter, felt suddenly called upon to go home. He was going at the rate of forty miles an hour when he colli- ded with the clerk and they rolled on the floor together. ‘There was no use to tell the people in that store to move on. They couldn’t tarry to save ’em. The all felt that the rent was two premises. A yell over the cheese-box was answered by a war-whoop from the show-case. A howl from the kerosene barrel near the back door was answered by wild gestures around the show window. The crowd went out together. Un- cle Tom was just coming in with his beef bone. When a larger body meets a smaller one the larger body knocks it into the middle of next week. The old man laid around in the slush un- til everybody had stepped on him all they wanted to, and then he set up and asked : yit ? Some of the hornets sailed out of doors to fall by the wayside, and others waited around on top of bar. rels and baskets and jars to be slaugh- tered. It was half an hour before the last one was disposed of, and then Uncle Tom walked in, picked up the nest, and said : ‘Mebbe dis will cure de stiffiress in dat gal’s neck, jest desame, but I tell you I’ze got banged an’ bumped, an’ sot down on till it will take a hull medical college all winter long to get me so I kin jump off a street kyar,’ —Detroit Free Press.

HomicipE iN CHARLOTTE. Harper, of Atlanta, was shot aud killed in Charlotte on Tuesday, by John Farring- 'ton, of the latter city. Harper had been ‘arrested Saturday night before, on the ieharge of having seduced Farrington’s i sister. He obtained bail, and being bag- i gage master on the Air Line, made a trip to Atlanta and returved, aud was met by Farrington shertly afterwards, who, from the published report as given by the Observer, designed to have a friendly talk. Bat Harper repelled hin with oaths and immediately drew a pistol and fired in Lis face, the ball striking Farrington’s ebin and breaking the jaw bone. Far- rington returued the fire and Harper fell on his back, apparently dead. But he rais- ed himself on his elbow and fired another shot at Farrington who was then crossing the street. Farrington stopped, and tak- ing deliberate aim at the prostrate man, fired one more shot, which also took ef- fect, both in the right side. Harper kept ap the fire as long as he had strength, which failed him as he was attempting to cock his pistol for the fifth shot. Harper’s dead body was delivered te his brother, who happeved to be in Char- lotte on business at the time. Farrington is under arrest for a prelim- inary examination. The Observer of this morning says that Farrington’s wound is more serious than was at first thought, and prevented the prelimivary examination on yesterday, “The ball entered the right side of the chin, and grazing the museles of the throat came out at the left side of the throat.

He was to have £60; one-half in efoth, the other in flax, henip, Jinen yaru, &c, We accepted the call, August 30th, 1733. Presbytery met at that church, gud he was ordained and in- stalled the first pastor of that church. He continued the pastor uere until 1759, when he received a call from a copgrega- tion in) Virginia, and teok a dismission from Presbytery to accept it. “He re- ihoved to Virginia accompanied by many of the Hanover congregation, about 1760. The main reason for gotug was to escape the incursions of the savages. He settled at Buffalo (Prinee Edward county, Va.), joined Hanover Presbytery, 1760, contin- ved thereapparcitly as long as he lived— was at the opening of the Synod of Vir- giuia in 1735, and iu the Minutes of the General Assembly is still the pastor in 1739.

Peach, apple, cherry and plum trees in the West Ward of Town are only slightly damaged. The buds are gener- ally green, and clear of the black speck in the center. But the severity of the winter is indigated by the killing of rose- bushes, especially more rare varieties, down to the ground. The cold Friday and Satarday of 1833, killed all the China trees, but strange as it may seem, altho’ the registered temperature at that time was 5° below zero, aud from 6 tu 8° below that point this year, the China trees still live. —_—o NaTIoNAL Bank.—Enconraging infor- mation from reliable sources is to the part of busines men, is commendable, and will serve a good purpose in supplying the beavy demands for cash during the Let our people be prepared to “LIFE INSURANCE” MADE CHEAP.

The sermon was published. uest of the convention and was entitled, Rev. Philip B. Wiley was ordained priest, and the communion was adminis to 51 persons. Evening service was performed by the Rev. G. W. Freeman. The Rev. Mr. Wright was elected one of the delegates to the General Convention. During the tempo- rary retirement of the Bishop; Romulus M. Sanders, a lay delegate, was cailed to the chair, The Bishop's salary was fixed at $1,000 per annum—commencing from June 11, 1829. From Mr. Wright's report to the Conyven- tion of 1832, I extract the following: “A few years age the cpngregations in Rowan had a name to live, and were dead, but by the grace and mercy of God, théy have re- vived, arisen from the dust, and been in some measure purified, and now our princi- ples are better understood than at any pre- ceeding peried. Our services are attended by those who love them, and the blessed gospel is, in general, hontred by the holy walk of such as profess te believe it.” Bish- op Ives, in his address; speaks of “the faith- ful and self-denying labors of Mr. Wright in St. Luke’s Parish, having been very inad- equately repaid.” He reported the congre- gation ef Christ Church, “as to its spiritual state, seeming to be prosperous.’ On Wednesday the 30th of May, 1823, Bishop Ives visited St. Luke’s Church, officiating on Thursday, Friday and Saturday ensuing, preaching to unusually serious and attentive congregations, and confirming 92 persons, “It was a circumstance of unusual gratifi- cation to myself,” says the Bishop, “as it must have been to the worthy and devoted servant of God, who was about leaving this among these who on this occasion, publicly professed their faith, a number of the most deservedly influential gentlemen of the place, and among all a spirit ef increasing solem- nity.

Samuel Fleming attended the Conven- tion at ILillsboro as a delegate from Christ Church. In his repert to the Newbern Con- vention, May 17, 1827, Mr. Wright said that “there was reason to hope, that the friends and members of the church in his charge have not only increased in number, but are advancing in zeal and knowledge, growing in grace and holiness.” The new building ef Christ Church wascon- secrated by Bishop Raven-croft, July 17,1227, infthe presenceof alarge concourse of people, the customary deed having been executed on the day previous. The Bishop was assist- ed in the services by the Revs. Thomas Wright, R. S. Millerand William M. Greene. The latter is now the venerable and beloved Bishop of Mississippi. This Church was situated about 12 miles west of Salisbury, near the Statesville read—about one mile below the point where Third Creek Station, on the Western North Carolina Railroad is now located. In his report of this consecra- tion to the Fayetteville Convention, 1822, the Bishop speaks of the congregation of Christ Church as a “large body of worship- pers, the second in number of communicants ia the Diocese.” On the 15th day of Sept., 1827, Moses A. Locke, Charles Fisher and John Beard,Jr., as Executors of Lewis Beard, executed and delivered to John McClelland, James Martin, Stephen L. Ferrand, Thomas Chambers, Edward Yarborough and Ed- ward Cress, vestry of the Episcopal Congre- gation of St. Luke’s Church, a deed in fee for Lot No. 11—144 square poles—in the town of Salisbury—now the east cor- ner ef Church and Council streets. The following clause is inserted in the deed : “And in case at any time hereafter the congregation of St. Luke’s shall dissolve, then the right to said Lot shall yest in the Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of North Carolina, and his perpetual successors, in trust for the said congregation of St. Luke's, when it shall revive. (Reyistered in Book No. 30 p. 8). The lot is said to have been presented by Maj. John Beard, Jr., a very devoted churchinan whe removed to Florida, where he resided for many years, having died only a few years ago. The present church building was erected in the year 1828, the Rev. Francis L. Hawks being the architect. Mr. John Berry was the contractor and builder. Mrs. Mary N. Steele, widow of Gen. John Steele, gave the ground to make the bricks and burnt them. Before the church was consecrated the Masonic Fraternity assembled there and organized ‘Fulton Lodge”—the Rey. W. M. Green (now Bishop) meeting with them. The building was consecrated by Bishop Ravenscroft, in July er August, 1878, assisted by the Revs. Messrs. Wm. M. Green, Thomas Wright, Philip B. Wiley and Jno. H. Norment. The services “formed an ob- ject of much interest to some and of curios- ity to more.” About this time Mr. Wright ceased to be the Rector of Christ Church, owing to the disinclination of the latter to contipue their unien with the church at Salisbury, upon its original foeting—end “that large and important and able congre- gation”—in the language of Bishop Ravens- croft—remained for sometime without a regular pastor. ’ The 13th Annual Convention met in St. Luke’s church, Salisbury, on Saturday May 23, 1829. The lay delegates from Christ Church were Churles Mills, Benjamin Harri- son, David Cowan and Dr. W. H. Trent— from St. Luke’s Parish were James Martin, Romulus M. Saund«.s, Edward Yarboreugh and John Beard, J:.—Thomas F. Davis Jr., efterwards Rector ef the Parish and Bishop of South Carolina—was present as a lay del- egate from St. James Church, Wilmington. E. J. Hale was present as a lay delegate from St. John’s Church, Fayetteville. Dar- ing the morning service on the first day of the session, the Sacrament of Baptism was administered to four adults; and at night to four infants- communicants at St. Luke’s and 70 at Christ Church, and said “Fears are entertained by some of the vestry that they cannot main. tain a clergyman, even with the aid of Christ Church.

The Rev. Mr. Wright removed from Salis- bury with his family, to Tennessce, towards the close of the year 1832. He was fora short time a student of the law. He was born fin Wilmington; ordained Deacon about the year 1821, and ordained priest in 1823 or 24, He married a sister of Bishop Green, and raised a large family ef children. He lived in the old McNamara house, on Main strect (near the Western North Caro- lina Railroad)next door to the Misses Beard. He was a most devoted Herald of the Cross —full of years and piety—and abounding in missionary labors. During the time he was at Salisbury he officiated constantly in the Parishes of Rowan county, and frequently and regularly visited Wadesboro, 56 miles away. Ile occasionally visited the Mills settlement in Iredell county, Mocksville and Wilkes county. He accompanied Bisho Ravenscroft for days at atime whenever the latter was on his visitations. He is said to have built up the tirst Episcopal congrega- tion of Memphis. He is remembered with great admiration and affection by his old parishioners in this State. THE REY. JOHN MORGAN, Mr. Wright’s successor, must have arrived in Salisbury the latter part of November, 1832. ITé reached Oxford, 6n his way, on Saturday, the 24th, and there met Bishop Ives, and assisted the latterin his Sunday services. Mr. Wright and his family did not leave Salisbury until after his arrival. Mr. Morgan was an Englishman by birth and education—and was never married. Bishop Ives visited St. Luke’s Church, l'ri- day, June 14, 1883, and confirmed seven persons. “He was highly gratitied to mark so many indications of spiritual improve- ment.” Textract fhe following from Mr. Morgan's repert to the Convention of 1834: Baptisms, 26, communicants, 20; Christ Church, Baptisms, 20, communicants, 76; Charlotte, Baptisms, 7, communicants, 3; Iredell county, Baptisms, 10. His field in- cluded Charlotte and Lincolnton, which he visited every fifth week. “We have order- ed an Organ: the ladies deserving the credit of it. The congregation of Christ Church is decidedly improving in regard to the num- ber of those who regularly attend, and I trust in knowledge, grace and zeal.” The same Organ has continued in use at St. Luke’s to this very day. It was built by Henry Erben, of New York. The original price was $700, but he reduced the charge to $500. Mr. Morgan removed to Maryland sometime the latter part of the year 1835. He lived toa good old age, dying on Staten Island in 1877. He was fond of accumulat- ing rare and beautifully bound books; and he took great pride in showing his books to those who called to see him. He was a very charitable man—spending his money, how- ever, without discrimination. He paid a visit to England shortly after leaving here in company with the late Hon. Burton Craige. I heard the latter say, that Mr. Morgan was in the habit of drepping a gold guinea ($5) into the box for the peor every time he entered a church—while other people were dropping in penniesor shillings. Mr. Craige said he repeatedly remenstrated with him about such reckless extravagance —telling him, that at the rate he was going on, the Tegacy which he had lately inherited would soon be exhausted. But his remon- strances had very little.effect. He is said to have given his own overcoat, to a man who was shivering in the cold, and rode home himself without one. Before leaving the State, Mr. Morgan, in December, 1834, cave up the Rectorship of St. Luke's Church, in order to confine himself moré closely to his other fields of labor, About that time he reports the number of communicants at Salisbury at 23, Christ Church and Iredell! 110, Burke county 17, Charlotte 2. On Fri- day, September 24, 1834, the Bishop con- firmed at Christ (Church thirty persons. Mr. Morgan labored with great zeal and success—and he was greatly beleved and re- spected by his parishioners; in tact by all who knew him. He was succeeded in the Rectorship of St. Luke’s by the REV. WILLIAM W. SPEAR, in January, 1835. Mr. Spear had been or- dained deacon, July 25th, 1834, at Hillsboro. Rev. Geo, W. Freeman. Mr. Spear was an educated gentleman, He went to school in Salisbury to the Rev. Jonathan Otis Free- man, a Presbyterian minister—and Pastor of the Presbyterian congregation in Salisbury. The latter was a brother of the Rev. Geo. W. Freeman, who was than Rector of Christ Church, Raleigh, and afterwards the Bishop of Arkansas. The Rev. G. W. Freeman min- istered to Bishop Ravenscroft during his last hours. He was born in Massachusctts the many who have been instructed by her, and the many friends who have loved and esteemed her, not one, perhaps could this day remember in her an inconsistency, or an indiscretion or an unkindness.

He afterwards became the beloved Rector of St. Matthews Church, Hillsboro, where he died a few years ago. Tle was a man of great piety and learning. The Rev. C. J. Curtis, editor of the Church Messenger, is a son of his, and the Rev. W. 8. Bynum, of Winston, married one of his daughters. Sunday, July 24, 1836, Bishop Ives preach- ed, baptized six infants, contirmed six per- sons, administered the Holy communion, and examined the children in the catechism, in St. Luke's, Salisbury.” The Next Rector of the congregation of Christ Church and St. Luke’s, was the REV. THOMAS F. DAVIS, JR. IIe took charge in November, 1836. The congregations had been suffering from the want of regular religious services, and from the removals of some of the most valuable members of St. Luke’s. Mr. Davis in his report to the convention of 1837, prayed to “Almighty God to poor upon these congre- gations the abundance of His heavenly grace. Their Pastor cannot but feel his own insufficency, and deplore the smal! apparent fruit of his labors.” In 1838, the communicants at St. Luke’s were 18; at Christ Church, 78. One of the largest families connected with St. Luke’s Charch had removed to the west during the previous year. Mr. Davis reported “the con- dition of the church in Salisbury as not en- couraging.” “Christ Church was gradually gaining strength.” The delegates to the Convention of 1839, from St. Luke’s were John B. Lord, William Locke and Charles K. Wheeler—the two former attended. Mr. Davis reported 21 communicants at St. Luke’s, and for Christ Church 91—confir- mations at the latter 21, (July 14th and 15th, 1838). “There has been a much larger and more interested attendance upon Divine or- dinances than heretofore. An increased in- terest in the Church then certainly is ac- companied with an increased degree of at- tention to the word of God. The people of St. Lukes, entirely of theirown accerd, have almost deubled the Pastor’s salary, and have in every respect exhibited towards hima kind and affectionate regard.” “The child- ren of Christ Church are well acquainted with the Church Catechisin.” “At Mill's set- The cause ef the church is on the advance in this part of the country.” The 24th Convention of the Diocese met ia St. Luke's Church, Salisbury, Wednesday, May 13, 1840.

ANDREWS, Gen Supt, - IRENE’S AUCTION. “And all must go! Can nothing be saved?” querulously questioned Mrs. Arthur, ber hands listlessly folded across her lap, her air betokening ut- ter helplessness, as she looked pitiful- ly toward the beautiful girl whom she addressed. . “Nothing, mamma,” answered the latter, drawing nearer as sie spoke, and kneeling by the other’s side, while she laid her finger caressingly upon her mother’s pale cheek—“ouly each other; but papa’s death has taught us how much that is. Don’t worry, dearest, I hope the sale will enable us to buy furniture more suitable to the few rooms which for a time must be our home, until I can secure some pupils and get the litthe home in the country, where you are to live sur- rounded by birds and flowers, and forget that the red flag ever waved from your door.” They vere brave words, bravely eppken—so bravely as not to betray the effort they cost the speaker. Six months Irene Arthur reigned a belle in ber father’s mag- nificent home, when, like a thunder- bolt from a clear summer sky, came that father’s failure and death in qaick succession, with the lessons experience only teaci.es, of friends deserting in the hour « need—little by little learn- ing the necessity of standing alone and before 5 seeing hope drifting further and fur- ther in the distance, until the present, with its absolute emergencies, roused | her to action. The small head, set so regally upon the slight, sloping shoulders, held it- self more proudly together, as Irene buckled on her armor for the fray. The hardest part was over now.— t the worst Her mother had been told She must which could betall them. now take her from this spot, hallowed by memory, before the desecrating feet of strangers enter it. A few days’ search and she was re- warded by finding in a quiet house a once her purse and her requiremens, in sad contrast to the with which she had been surrounded her life long, but where, at least, her mother was saved the sight ofa flag, which seemed to her to be dyed in her heart’s blood. suit of rooms which met at elegant luxuriance “Ts there nothing you would wish to save, Miss Arthur?” questioned a voice at her side the morning of the sale. . She turned haughtily toward the stranger, but something in his clear, blue eyes bent upon her witnessed the words held honest meaning. “I beg your pardon, sir,’ she an- swered, unable to disguise whelly the pride these latter days had deyeleped so forcibly —“I have not the pleasure of your acquaintance.” “Tt is for me to beg pardon. I for- got I might not be known to you per- sonally, though Iam the auctioneer appointed by the estate. Your fath- er once did me a great kindness, and though I would not seem intrusive, I would like very much to preserve any article you may desire.” “With many thanks, sir, I desire te receive no favors,” she replied coldly, and passed en, to take one fleeting look ere she fled to the place she must now learn to call home, to be haunt- ed all day by the sound of the auc- tioneers hammer and_ the voice of strangers, desecrating the hall. But when, in the dusk of the eve- ning, a cart stopped before the door, and one by one articles hallowed by association—her father’s chair, -her own desk, her mother’s favorite pic- tures—were brought in, her feelings so long repressed gave way to a burst of tears. 7 1. } - : Who had dene this thing? For one moment the honest blue eyes that p 7: 1 ‘ © C2 had me her own that day rose before her. But no! such delicacy belonged not to their owner’s rank in life. Nor was it a stranger's work. Some one must have known her well to have selected the few things it had been such bitter warlare to part with. mp : . i. They were, indeed, like old friends sent to comfort her, as, in the weary > ‘ et 7p > "Ae , days that followed, her eyes would rest upon them in ber bitter struggle for the daily necessities of life for her- self—the luxuries which to her moth- er had become necessities, Business had thrown her more than once with Earl Kenneth, the owner of the bine eyes. There had been niatters-connected with the sale which compelled her to meet him, until he grew to her almost a friend, and at times she would forget the social gulf which separated them—she, the once wealthy bayker’s danghter; he,a man who" bad risen from the humblest , a ranks, but whose soul was that of a nobleman. The friends she had once known she no longer knew. They rode; she walked, and must stand on the curb to let their carriages drift by. Earl’s cheery voiee and pleasant smile her mother, too, grew to wel- come, with the few choice flowers, or the early fruit he ever laid so quietly in Mrs. Arthur’s hand, growing daily paler and thinner. But one evening as he sat by Irene’s side alone, very calmly, very truly, yet with a certain humbleness, he told her that he luved her and asked her to become his. wife. “J cannot bear to see you struggle,” he said. “Once, as you well know, I could not have asked you to become my wife, and though I have not for- gotten, dear, that I am a man who has only honor and ambition, I yet can take you from this life of toil, can shield you with my breast, can toil for you and yours if you will give me the precious assurance I seek.” Was the man mad? The pride she had forgotten in these quiet months now surged upward as she turned to- ward him with pale face and spark- | ling eyes. “Sir, you insult me!’ “No man insults a woman with his honest love, Miss Arthur,” he an- | swered, the pride in her eye bearing its ‘reflex on his face. “I loved you— nay I love you! My love you spurn. 'I can never offer again, Miss Irene, but remenber—should you ever need it, it is always yours, ready to do for you, to suffer for you, to die for you !” * * * * * * “Why does not Earl come?” ques- tioned the invalid. “I want to see him—I miss him. Write, Irene, and tell him he must call this evening. She wrote in obedience: “Mamma asks for you. She knows If you will drop in occa- sionally to see hgr I will be glad.” It cost her pride a struggle to send even this; but was it pussible it also brought a thrill of something like pleasure that she should meet him once more ? nothing. The weeks had seemed strangely long without him. Why had she thus answered him? Of course the thing he asked was impossible ; but, ah, how cruelly she had spurned him ! Had he forgotten it? She expected some trace of sorrow on the handsome brow ; but when he entered, in obedi- ence to her summons, the frank smile lit up his face, as devoting himself to the invalid, he spoke to her only when courtesy required, Somehow, these weeks seemed to have improved him, too. He had acquir- ed a polish; or was it only indiffer- ence, where love had reigned ? “Men easily forget,” she thought, and, with the thought, she sighed. ihe wipter wore te an end, and slowly the invalid grew weaker and more weak, The shock had been greater than her nervous system could bear, and she sank under it day by day, nutil the exertion to move from her bed to her couch became too great, when, for the first time, the realiza- tion burst upon her daughter that she was soon to be left desolate indeed. Earl, during these months, came and went as of old ; but sometimes Irene asked herself if his words to her had not been a dream. Not once did his eyes rest on her with the old look—not once did he hold for a single moment the little fin- gers within his own; and a sense of empty disappointment, none the less bitter because unacknowledged, bro’t to the proud young eyes many an un- shed tear. But the bitterer sorrow was in store, as. the invalid’s rest ap- proached more and near, until the An- gel of Death stooped and gathered her to his breast. Earl was there at the last, and as she lay so quietly on her pillows—they thought her spirit had flown— she suddenly roused, and laid her daughter’s hand in his. “Take her!” she said, “I give her to you!” Then the eyes closed forever. “Do not mind it ; she meant only as a brother, Irene,” he said, in comfort, days after, the weeping girl, and Irene wondered why she could not as- such accept it. So the weary days merged into weeks, and weeks into month, and the proud young spirit learned its own bitterness. She saw Earl rarely now —there was no longer the invalid’s impatient demands upon his time.— Some of the old friends had come for- ward in this second hour of suffering ; but through all she missed him, and the thought that he had learned for- gettfulness brought her no comfort. )She was thinking of him one evening when he entered. “T am going away, Miss Irene,” he said ; will you bid me God speed ?” The old pride struggled for mastery against the choking in the slender throat, but the words she strove to utter refused to come. : “IT have been studying law during these years of hard work, and am now able to wait for the practice I hope will come. You will think of me sometimes, Irene; and if in trouble remember the words I once said : that I stand always ready to act the part ofafriend. Is even this asking too much?” he added as her silence con- tinued. Had he, then, forgotten all his worda -—the love he had said was hers for- ever—or did its pale ghost lie buried, too? But she must speak ; she must not let him know. “Good-bye!” she faultered ; tlien, in spite of herself, the words she had thought locked in her heart burst from her: “Earl, do not go; I can- not bear it!” “Irene!” Where had his icy in- diffeeence fled now? His face was pale ; his voice trembled in his strug- gle for calmness. “What matters it to you?” “Everything !” she exclaimed, as her pride lay with folded wings at her feet. “Or if you must go, take me with you !” “Irene, do you know what your words mean—that I can take you on- ly as my wife? My darling, is this true?” But in answer she sprang into his open arms, dimly realizing that the color mantling her cheeks was the ab- horred red flag with which she had announced herself to the highest bid- der; but Earl, holding her close to his heart, will yield his prize never- more. Dull of Comprehension. ‘You can’t smoke in here,’ said a Cincinnati man who was pulling vigorously at a conductor to a country- five cent cigar in a ear half full of ladies. The man didn’t seem to hear. ‘T say,’ cried the man of the bell punch in a louder key, ‘if you want to smoke come out here on the plat- form.’ ‘All right,’ returned the passenger, and he stepped out, ‘Didn’t think it would burt nothin’, ‘he said, apolo- getically ; seein’s there aint any straw to catch fire.’ ‘But there are ladics there.’ ‘Oh, yes; didu’t think about that. Might get ashes on their gowns and spile ’em.’ nothin’ ‘It isu’t too much,’ explained the conductor. ‘but ladies object to smoke.’ ‘Well, I didu’t ask any of them te did 1?) They needu’t object before they’re invited,’ ‘You don’t understand. Smoking is disagreeable to ladies,’ smoke, ‘Best reason in the world why the, shouldn’t practice it. Catch me smok- ing it if was disagreeable to me!’ And he tranquilly putled away at his five- center, ~~ The Miocene Beds of Oregon and their Fossils. A writer view, who in the Kansas City Re- has for some time been making collections of fossil remains for Professor Cope, says that although the miocene beds of the John Day River, Oregon, have beer explored for nine or ten years, each year an equal- ly rich harvest has been gathered. In none of his explorations in the fossil beds of the Northwest had he ever found such perfect specimens as those that he gathered in this region. One of his finds proved to be the type of a new genus, and named by Professor Cope Boocherus humerosus, the specific name being given in allusion toa huge projection on the humerus. The skeleton was that of « mammal as large as_ a rhinoceros, and with great pillar-like limbs. The most abundaat fossil remains found have been those of the Oreodon, or extinct hog. Three or four spe- cies have been detected, some about the size of the Texan peccary, and others as large as the wild boar of Europe.. These animals belong to tropical countries. The rhinoceros is quite common in these beds, three or more species being represented, one of them having a horn on each side of the end of the nose. The Hipwa- rion and other ancestors of the horse are also found here. One peculiar genus discovered was an ancester of! the South American I lama, and has been named by Pref. Cope Probothe- rium Sternbergii. Among the carni- vora over ten species of dogs and tigers have been discovered. One large dog had terrible fangs, longer than those of a tiger, and which were sharply serrate-edged like the teeth of a shark. Another peculiar species had a shoulder on the lower caning, against which the peint of the upper struck. This large number of carnivorous animals shows that her- biyora were also abundant ; and that such was the case has been proved, too, by the abundance of the remains of the latter that has been found. Of the rodents, a great number of spe- cies haye been discovered, ranging from the size of a mouse to that of a beaver. Hard-shelled turtles were the only reptiles obtained; and varied in size from six inches to two feet in diameter. One of the great difficulties in the way of working these beds lies in the daz- zling color of the surface, which soon causes the eye to tire, and gives the explorer a sensation like that of snow- blindness. Hence, five hours’ con- stant search has to be counted a good day's work. ‘The miocene beds of Oregon extend over the greater part of the eastern part of the State. Thus far only ,the John Day and Crooked River have been explored. Rich har- vests are in store for the future ex- plorer. All the new genera and spe- cies found here are to be described and figured by the government pub- lications. LEWIS E.

The human body is as immortal as the soul: before the sun shone its components existed; and when ‘that laminary fades away, its elements will stiil be taking on gv9 new forms, Weare attracted by the stars: 1259 it is but natural: for our bodies are eom- posed of star dust, gathered from infinite space aud the heavenly planets are our physical relations, Ministers point the way toa happy im- mortality of the goal, but physicians fail to show us how to secure a healthy, vig- orous body, for even one hundred years, notwithstandiug its eternal star attoms. Their medicine-chest for centuries con- sisted of the lancet and mercary, with which they slew thousands and poisoned many. The medical men of the present day fail to reeoguize and utilize modern scientific truths, They do not believe in ’ the anity of life, in the or in the unity of cure. I shall treat of their benefit on these three points. Light, electricity, galvanism, foree and the nervous flnid which emanates from the human brain, are different forms of heat, the primordial cause of all life. Here is unity of life, reaching even to the 5 Stars, for as they lose their heat they be- come dead, like the pale, cold moon. MID OF Ts not the cause of all disease and death : fons &b the sume 7?

Was) postponed until JERE BLACK QUOTES SOME STRANGE LAN- GUAGE BY THE PRESIDENT ELECT, New York, Feb. 23.—The national anti- wonopoly league held a mecting in the Cooper union. Judge Jeremiah S. Black was the principal speaker. He said that railroad corporations haying been put in possession of the public highways ef the country were bound to run them in tlre in- terest of the public, to whom they belong. Corporations were public servants, but they had violated their trusts for private gains. The voice oi the complaint comes up from all quarters of the country, In speaking ofa meeting he once a ti:nded at Cleave- Jand, Ohio, Judge Black said he heard Gen. Garfield say that railroad corporations wielded such power that the time was fast approaching when a conflict would take place unless the railroad corporations were throttled by the strong arm of the law. The agitation, Judge Black said, that had justcommenced must go on until fifty mil- lians of people know that they were fifty millions strong. The question was what could be done to put an end to the system. The only hope was in Congress. The sec- retary read a letter from Senator William Windom sympathizing with the movement. Resolutions were adopted denouncing mo- nopolies. 3 ers. * _ ae The increase of crime among the New Englanders and their general propensity to ; eral obliquity, Richard Grant White, in a reeent number of the Nurth American, at- tributed to their “imperfect higher educa- tion,” but now in the last number of the same review comes Mr. John D.

Tn seeking it we natur- aly turn to the “great evil,” as the temper- cation” is is to be anee people say, whisky ; which is reported to be the fruitful source of ninetenths of all crime. But here again we ure met by the Maine statisties that are hard to understand, for C. I. Goddard, by a comparison ef the criminal reports for 1851 and 1880, demon- strates that while the increase in population in Maine during that period was but 14 per cent., the increase in high crimes was 379 per cent., and ef other felonics at the rate of 207 per cent. In 1851 divorces were rare, but now Maine leads all of New Eng- land in driving a thriving business in the dissolution qf marriage ties and bastardi- zing children. And, strange to say, these deplorable results have come about during the strict enforcement of prohibitory legis- lation, so the increase of crime there cannot be laid to the door of intemperance. Leok- ing at the matter without prejudice, we con- fess that we cannot account for this increase in crimes in the New England States other- wise than by laying the blame on the natural disposition of the people who inhabit that part of the moral vineyard. Itis without doubt a slander to impute this law-breaking tendency to high education, and certainly it ought not to be attributed to enforced tem- perance. We fear the people of Maine are still making good the old couplet with ref- erence to Gov, Kent. (S.range facts if facts ' they be.] oan nee oe Progress of Prolibition. The following” correspondence of (the Charlotte Observer, will interest the genera ‘tender upon this at pres- L Interesting subject, and seems to ‘outline what the action of the Legis- lature wilt be on Prohibition. Says the correspondent: “The working committee appointed by the late hibition convention in this city held a conference Tuesday evening with the joint committee of the Legislature on prohibition. The working com- mittee was not evefi in tune with its own mind on the subject, and at the first fire forked off from a bill that Judge Edwin G. Reade submitted. pJudge Reade was cor absolute ition, to go into effect the first o May, and be veted on in August, when, if not ratified by the people, all penal- ties for violation be done away with by the courts, and the law simply re- main a dead letter on the books till the Legislature could repeal it. It was one of the Judge’s finest sights at constitutional hair splitting. But it didn’t set the eoulter deep enough for the brethren. It proposed leaving the orchards and vineyards with the people to make brandy and wine for their own use, and for medical purpo- ses. Just like a Presbyterian, said a gentleman to-day. Mr. Gudger antagenized the bill, Fle said Judge Reade only represent- ed in these views a small minority of the convention. He was for an abso- lute law to be submitted to the peo- ple, and believed it was constitution- al; he quoted from several authorities sustaining his position, and from Judge Reade himself, in an opinion he had once given on similar legislu- tion. Mr. McDonald said he was for absolute prohibition, and they would hold the respousible, Polities had nothing to do with it, and ifany party has to be held together by the hoops of a whisky barrel, it deserved to “bust.” Mr. M. isa Re- legislature publican, Such a sudden shelling of the Leg- islative committee rather added tothe uneveness of the evening conference but Judge Reade, with his kindly nature for soothing the down-on a thistle, soon restored the best of {eel- ing in assuring the joint commitice of the full confidence of the prohibition- ists in the good seuse and integrity of the Legislature, whatever its action may be. The joint prohibition committee then gave its views on the subject.— Mr. Tucker was against the frait fea- ture of Judze Reade’s bill. It would dead to perjury in many ways; the people would smear a barrel of wiis- ky over with dried apples and swear He had seen as yet but onc common sense plan proposed it was brandy, and that was Mr. Ball’s,* of Greens- boro, to let the people vote prolhibi- tion or no prohibition, and if carried in the State the Governor to call an extra session and have the law passed, They could do it in a day’s time and gt little cost. Mr. Grainger said the great diver- sity of the friends of temperance only showed they were not agreed among themselves, and it would be difficult for any one to devise a law to satisfy all. Ite was for the most practical and common sense view to be sub- mitted to the peeple. The Legisla- ture should at least remedy the abuse of retailing liquor so as to make each barkceper give a justified bond be- tween one hundred and a thousand dollars, and if so muchas a drink was sold toa man perceptibly drunk he might recover $25 or $50 out of that bond, Mr. Webster said he had a misty idea somewhere about his head that a teniperance law was never worth the paper it was written on, yet he would go for it with the majority, and while never noted for having much love for | Mr. Ball he thought his plan the! wisest—letting the people vote whetl- er or not they wanted it, and if they did, give it to them. st * eye for drug stores and wished them specially guarded against selling ‘the ardent,’ as he believed them a worse hell than the dram shops.” _—_-) Po...

Thousands of such acres of in the hill counties of Missisippi and Leuisiana are covered waif eahe Bermuda is the best_of all grasses for . took -ae-stack-of most-kinds prefer it} uewspaper talk, but” to anything in the grass line tliat grows. It is the first thing in the spring that puts out, and the last in the win- ter to die; and when slightly protect- ed by trees that do not make heavy shade, it remains green in winter, af- fording a fine pasturagé for cattle and sheep. If any one has his plantation well set in Burmuda grass, then he is well prepared to make money, and ean re- stere his lands to their orignal fertili- ty, and can make niore meney than if planting four times the area in cotton. For the farmer of the South the rais- ing of sheep isa more profitable en- terprise. No animal, except the goat, will liveand thrive with so little care and attention ; they are at the same time the best fertilizers, and are also good at weeding, as they feed upon many plants that are pests, and are hard to destroy, Poor land will fur- nish good pastures for sheep, and will improve so readily that it may be brought toa high state of cultivation in a few years. The fleece, under the most unfaver- able conditions, will more than pay for the care of raising the sheep. And Where is anything better to the palate than a nice fat lamb, either fried, roasted, boiled or baked? No other flesh is equal to it, nor so wholesome; for either young or old, sick or well in this climate. But the selling of the carcass should be a secondary con- sideration, although that will pay handsomely in spring and fall. The best animals should be select- ed, those with hardy compact frames and fine wool, and then by judicious crossing—with a pure Merino ram— the flock will soon be all that one can desire. From two or four hundred acres of Bermuda grass will graze five hun- dred sheep, or three hundred sheep and one hundred cattle. Men who own old, poor, worn out with Bermuda grass, and thrown out as worthiess, no longer can make cotton and corn, negroes gone inte the rich river bot- toms to work, think on these things; you are rich if you have one hundred acres of such land, well sodded in Bermuda grass, and one hundred head of sheep. The men who make money in sheep culture are the men who feed well in winter, care for them, and see that they want for nothing. No lazy man ought to own a sheep. plantations, covered The young man who, in 1880, goes into sheep raising, and begins right (slow and sure), in 1890 will bea rich man, if he takes one of these old wornout plantations in Mississippi, sodded ail with Bermnda. I wish I had power to make men know the great blessing they have in those old red hiils in Mississippi; for if they will only cover them over with Bermuda grass and purchase a few sheep and pay the proper attention to them, they can grow wool much cheap- er than cotton, and they can at ail times find a ready market for it.

A remarkable circumstance in con- nection with the recent cold snap was the effect on the fish along the coast, large schools being driven in shore and in shallow water. Strange as it may aeem, it is asserted that the fish, particularty bass and trout, were ob- served to throw themselves bodily out of the water on land. An old negro caught thirty-one very fine large bass in this way at Raccoon Key, near Warsaw. On Saint Catharine’s a net thrown in the water ‘was almost. in- stantly filled by large fish, and fisher- men found some difficulty in hauling the nets in. Others were observed to kill them if the water with oars. This novel occurrence was witnessed generally all along the islands to the southward and in the rivera near the ceast.—Savannah (Ga.)

Thirty year’s experience has firmly rooted Aileock’s Porous Plasier in publie estimation. Their wonderful adaptability to the various Svnitonis of disease is a matvel (inedical men of all scliools. Fur nervons persons and luna- ties, ope or more applied tu the spine produc- ed steep When opiates, even hydrate of chloral, had been of little servire. Now, whem one can- not sleep, its is the common practice to apply a Plaster to the back. You scarcely touch ihe pillow before you are sound asleep. Allcocks Votous Plasters have the curative effect of the Spanish fly blisters, yet make ne sore; and never atfect the Kidneys; are convent eut for all ages and conditions, usidally only producing a “blush” on theskin, and more cer- tainty curative than liniments or blisters, and without prostration or pain of the latter, This is trne even in Croup, Quinsy, Pleurisy, Lang and Phroat Adections, and the utility of this sanitary invention has been warmly wel- comed. They are largety sold imevery part of the world, aud itis believed that not less than five hundred thonsand persons are well, and atteiiding to the duties of fife, free from pain, Whohave an Alleock’s Porous Plaster some- whereabout them, and who, but for the said plaster, would be prostrate pon a Led of ago- ny. Besides, a pecuitar piny, pleasant odor, halo, oratmosphere exiles from them by the warmth oj the bodii, imMper-eptible to the eve, but which envelops the person im a elond of thin vapor, through which contagion cannot penetrate. Jn fact, Allcoek’s Plasters supply an atmosphere like that from balsam) or pine woods, and no doubt attract ozone, When contagious or infeet- ious diseases are about, they should be worn on the chest or buck as preventives, THE ALLCOCK’S POROUS PLASTER soothes pain, reanimates lorpid limbs, seems, in mmapy cases, tu revive the powers of tite Che great demand proves them to be used as a datversalremeay, Chey agecomvententot p pueation, amd safe for ail, being incapable on producing any dnjarions efieets, Dr Valentine Mott, Dr. Johnson, of Hart ford, and Dry Myers, of Savannah, havespoken ef them in the highest terms. Tire great Moti Said: “Phev were all that could be dioped for ina plaster—simple, cleanly and adhesive; pecfect as ardictal supperters of the muscles ; and for peins, because of their countep-insitant qualities, usualy at once ceiving ease.” Loeal weakness of the back, breast und side, always benefited, thas curing lambago in a few hours, sometimes in a few minutes. In serious heart and chest affections their use Causes an absorption or evaporation of water, by which dropsy of the heartand fy drothorax ave undoubtedly been cured. They appear to have a peculiar effect upon the nervous’, aliaying irritability while supply- ing warmth, They scem to accumulate elet: tricity, and aid the circulation of the blood throngh the part where applied, by which healthy aciious are induced, The Porous Plasters are flexible, and found of great help to those who have weak backs or pains in the side, Especially are they val- unble to those who have neglected colds. They are often preventives of consumption; nay, thev are believed to have loosened the grasp of this terrible affliction, and had been mainly instrumental in effeeting a cure. In variable climates they should be worn on the breast, or between the shoulders, of over the kidneys, by those who are subject to take cold easily. This simple plan will sooh produce constitutional vigor that will enable one to resist cxtraordi- nary changes of temperature. Experience has proved the Poron& Plaster to bea blessing to the consumptively iheiined, invariably prednue- ing the most rematkable abatemcnt of the worst Eyiiptoms. ; Principal Agency, 294 Canal Street.

Thomas Fredrick Davis was born fiear Wilmington, Feb; 8, 1840; was a brother of the Hon, George Davis—once a member of the Confederate Cabinet, «us Attorney Gen- eral-——and was educated at tlie University of N..C. Among his seniers were Bishops Green (of Miss.) and Otey (of Tenn.) ; while among his classmates were also, Bishop Polk; of Tenn., the Rev. Dr. Francis L. Hawks, and Judyze William H. Battle. He studied Jaw and was admitted to the bar, and prac- ticed in Wilmington and the neighboring counties for several years. His first wife was Miss Elizabeth Fleming, of Wilming- ton, who died in the year 1838. He was shortly thereafter cenfirmed, and admitted to the Holy Communion. He immiedtatety became a candidgte for Hely Orders, and | was ordained Deacon by Bishop Ives; Nov. 27, 1831, Im 1832, he was ordained Priest. The first years of his ministry were spent in hard missienary work. The town of Wades- boro and Pittsboro were 100 miles apart, and in each of these he gave services on the |alterpate Sunday, driving in a conveyance fiom one to the other during tlie week. He j had now married again, his second wife be- ing Ann Ive Moore, also of Wilmington. She was in the habit of accompanying him | in his missionary drives ; and wherthe ques- | tion was once asked, where tliey lived—the answer Was truly given in these words: “On ithe road.” He afterwards became reciar of j St. James Church, Wilmington, and remain- jed so for about three years.

He stated that it had been an object with him during the year te visit every commu- nicant and to catechise every baptized per- son of suitable age in the Diocese—where there is no clergyman or established congre- gation; and this object he had nearly ac- complished, : Mr. Davis was Chairman of the Commit- tee on the state of the church and wrote a | very eloquent and encouraging report—in which this sentence occurs, “Not captivated by the specious but seducing influences of that to her the ebject of Divine faith is her adorable Redeemer and Head; her only law a simple and entire submission to His will, and acquiescence in His appointments. She j has ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus ) Curist.” Mr. Davis’ report to the Convyen- j tion shows the following as the condition 125; Christ Church, 100; Iredell county, 17. | The ladies of St. Luke's had lately reatized $240 from “a Fair.” The first contirmation at St. Andrew's | tirmed, Communicants reported to the Con- | the latter, nine.

Fisher, Benjamin Sumner and Luke Blackmer, from st. Luke’s Church; Thomas Barber, Thos. Barber, Jr., Jacob F. Barber, Wm. Barber, | Jonathan Barber, Matthew Barber, R. J. M. Barber and Wm. F. Barber, from Christ Church; George Mills, Joho A. Mills, Henry M. Mills, Franklin Mills, Andrew Mills, Isracl R. Mills, Gearge Mills, Jr. and) Chas. | Mills, from St. James’ Church, Iredell coun- ty. In 1858, Mr. Parker reported the com- municants at St. Luke’s te be 74. He de- parted this life, Sept. 15, 1858, dn his 46th sear, having been born Jan. 217 1813. He ff baptised, Nov. 7, 1841, by Rev. Thomas * Davis, rector of St. Luke's Church, was rdained deacon, May 81, 1846, and priest May 10, 1847, by Bishop Ives. s He was married on the — day of 18 to Miss———- who lived only a few months. On Jan, 25, 1854, he was married to Mrs. Ann Lord, widew of the late John B. Lord,and daughter of the late Dr, Stephen L. Ferrand. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Joseph Biount Cheshire, of Tar- boro, who was a brother-in-law of Mr. Par- ker. Mr. Theophilus Parker is the only sur- viving child of this union. The Rev. John H. Parker was a faithful servant of Christ, and was greatly beloved by his flock. The Parish paid him the henor to erect a hand- seme marble shaft overt his remains, which were buried near the church, where he oftic- iated so constantly and acceptably for mere than eleven years. His walk and conversa— tion in this world was that of an humble, obedient, patient, and God-fearing follower of Christ; and “he diel the death of the righteous.” During the years 1537 and 1848, or por- tions thereof, the Rev. Oliver 8S. Prescott, then a Deacon, was the minister in charge of the congregations of Christ Church and St. Andrews, Rowan county, and of St. Phil- lip’s Church, Mocksville. Ie reported to the convention of 1848, that there were 87 communicants at Christ Church; 47 at St. Andrews; 17 at the Mills settlement; and nine at St. Phillip’s Church, Mocksville. In the last named Church he said, “that the Holy days had been observed, and during Lent daily prayers were said.” He was or- dained Priest by Bishop lves, and removed to Massachusetts. He is now and has been forimany yearsrector of St. Clement’s Church, Philadelphia ; where he has built up a nu- merous charitable and most self-denying Daring the next ‘egations were it ames G.

By reference to the reports for the past several vears made br the North Caroli- na Experiment Station, it will be seen that Soluble Pacific Guano (tested by the commercial value) has held the highest rank among the forty cr fifty differeut brands of commercial fertilizers offered for sale in the State. This is a splendid, but not undeserved, tribute to the Paefic Guano Company, which for sixteen years has manufactared an article universally admitted to be un- surpassed in its remarkable effects upon the growth of the great Southern staple. Indeed, so well known is Soluble Pacific Guano, that we have almost ceased to issne circularé except for distribution in the more remote districts and in those recently opened to Railroad transportation. Although we have thousands of testimonials as to the value of Seluble Pacific Gu- ano, we will ouly publish below a few from some of the leading farmers of this and adjoining counties, which will serve to stimulate inquiry amoug those who have not used it, and will result in securing favorable persoual testimony from its old patrons to those who are desireus of learning its results in the past, which results, combia- ed with the solid reputation of the Pacitic Gaano Compauy, are a sufficient guarane tee that the standard will be strictly maintaived in the future. —0:— S.

It is not a slan- der to say that’sewing societies and clubs are often the nurseries of gos- sip that makes mischief in the vil- lage and the church.

He went to Dr. Fant's drug store, and by the aid of antidotes was relicved of danger. Saturday he had Mr. Foster ar- rested for poisoning him, and a preliminary examination was held before Judge Parker Satw nay night.

Ming vRex,” in making his first visit to Salisbury, was as- tonished to find sg many Giligentand en- thusiastic disciples of Momus in the gayly decorated Hall of the Boyden House, espec- ially among the ladies, and he whispered to me confidentially, that they were remarka- bly goodlvoking and pretty. The utmost order prevailed during the night and spec- tators as well as participants went home carly in the morning satistied that they had spent a night of solid fyn, pure delight and genuine laughter.

Within the last week Pennsylvania Avenue has assumed the appearance of a vast oblong amphitheatre, and it may be doubted if ever the Collosseum itself held a larger multitude than will assemble, on each side of this famous boulevard, to see the progress from the White House to the Capitol, of the new President. Ona each side the Avenue, temporary seats and platforms have been erected, and thousands of seats on these have already reserved, and a price averaging Some enter- been abont one dollar per seat. prising renters have built board seats on the roofs of liouses along the avenue, while all the windows in all the hotels, suloons, and shops ‘along the preposed line of march, have already been rented, or are for rent at ridiculously high prices. If the weather shall prove to be fine, on the coming fourth of March, the con- course of people will be immense, but I cannot help thinking there will be room for them. [tis a fill mile and agquarter from the White House te the East front of the Capitol, the side walks on both sides of the Avenue are almost as broad as anold with terraced board seats and windows, will accommodate a host of people. The profanum rulgus will monopolize the side walks, while those who can pay fifty cents oradollar will find seats on the platforms. If the day should prove inclement, those seats will go begzing for less than fifty fashioned street; and these, cents.

Horace Greely lost his hat, overcoat, aud temper, and swore terrifically. The death of Senatoi Carpenter will make a lively seramble for the vancaney. Mr, Sawyer, who has just been clected, comes from the eastern portion of the State, so that the western side will now claim it. Itis of geonrse believed there will be Jots of candidates, including ex- Senator Howe, Boss) Keyscr, Senator Cameron possibly, Gov. Pound, otherg.

(Regular Correspoudence.) Paris, France, Feb. l4th, 1831. A novel kind of soirie was given last night at the Observatory here, the invita- tions, issued by Admiral Monchey, bear- ing the announcement that there would be dancing after the scientific experiments. This had the effect of attracting to the remote building beyoud the Luxembourg Gardey a considerable number of attrac tive young ladies, who mast have been more astonished by than interested in the serjes of Jectures and experiments that formed the chief business of the evening. Among the personages present were M. Gambetta, M. de Lesseps, M. Jules Fer- ry, and several «i the other Ministers. Some of the experiments were novel. A so-called electrophone, the invention of Maiche, was exhibited. Itis, in fact, a telephone which nat only transmits the voice to a distance hitherto unattainable, but neutralizes the neise made by other telegraphic wires during the passage of messages. Thijs noise isso loud as fre- quently to render inandible a message sent through a wire which is in the imme- diate neighborhood of others. M. Maiche has invented some contrivances which, as he shawed last night, completely does away with this confused murmnr, thus enabling his telephone to be worked on a railway line toany distance. He professes to be able to talk with New York as easi- ly as with Versailes, befyeen whieh place | | elected, and, since there will be sharp : and Paris, a distauce of more than ten| miles, the apparatas has been tried with success.

Auerative employ- ment sneceeded sotie time until three carriages drove up together." The worthy follower of Dick Tarpin, nothiug daanted . by the number of trayglers, fifteen in all, demanded a blackmail of eight dollars. The money was thrown ont to hint, but the driver of une of the carriages, alive to the abstirdity of fiftetn people being over- awed by.one ratiaps Jumped from his box] closed with the:rebber, aman ef lercus Jean strength, and finally with some help overpowered brim...

Judgment was given to-day in the vit- rol throwing case which caused so much sensation in Paris Jast Aagust, and of which I sent you the particulars. The prisoner Lannoy, who for some ti:ne had been living with a woman named Marie Dubois, followed her to the Boulevard Moutmartre one evenipg, and threw the c nteuts of a bottle of vitriolover her face. Notwithstanding the efferts of the medi- cal wen, the victim of ‘the ontrage has completely lost the sight of one eye, and is painfally distigured.. After hearing the evidence of Marie Dubois and that of sev - eral other witnesses, confirming the rela- tions between her and Lannoy, the jury retired fora few minutes only and brought in a verdiet of guilty without extenuating circumstances, ‘Phe prisouer was sen- tenced to fifteen years’ penal servitude, 2s Agricultural Experiment Station, Feb. 26th, 183]. To calealate the value of a fertilizer by use of the station figures: Multiply the percentage of available phosphoric acid found by analysis by 124. This gives the valne in cents of the available phosphoric acid found ina 100 pounds, Just so mal- tiply the percentage of ammonia by 13.9 and of potash by 8 and add these products together. The sum is the value of these constituents in 1090 pounds. Maltiply this by 20 and you have the commercial valne of the active ingredients in a ton of 2,000 lbs. This is a fair approximation to the value of the wrticle commercially at the present time, and the figares thus affords au accurate means of comparing different fertilizers.

The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun telegraphs, under date of 25th: Within the last 2- hours a strong feeling has been de- veloped in Congress against tlic na- tional banks. The verge of disaster reached in New York and the resis- tance to funding is charged to an at- tempt by the banks ‘to coerce the government. Friends and defenders of the banks have been in a measure overawed by the tremendous preja- dice that has been generated, and the chances are now that the more the banking interest resists the measure, the more likely is it to clinch the matter. As aspecimen of the feeling arous- ed, Senator Plumb, one of the three Republicans who voter for the Sen- ate bill, said to-day: “I ama nation- al bank president, so I can speak without prejudice. I tell you the crisis has come when we shall see whether the banks run the govern- ment or the government the banks. I think the government has a righit to fix the rate of interest it will pay, and it is no business of any set of men. It makes no difference to the people if Wall street gamblers do lose money or railroad stock stops rising. It would make a difference if the hoes in Western ccrofields should stop, and it is with the producers that the prosperity of the country rests. Let the bottom falk ont of it, if it will. It is an artificial movement to coerce the government.” Senator Bayard said to-day that he thought the distress would be reliev- ed as soon as the bill was passed and had become a law. There was un- doubtedly great hardship being ex- perienced now, and he did not know what would be the resalt. He had done what he could to remove the ob- jectionable elements from the bill be- cause he was a conservative man, and thought it unwise to give a shock to the money market. The relations existing as to currency were so deli- cate he thought it unsafe to experi- ment. He was opposed to the Car- lisle section and thought it a dama- ging measure. Hedid not like to make any predictions as to the near future. incensed at the tarn affairs have tak- proved and accepted by thechairman there en. ‘The Seen . lieve the distress, and. that heis determined can to pretect the public, so pervis-/ banks may e Sei xpect that as fast lock up their money he w out in every possible way: Mire fillan is of the opinion that the a of the banks is hasty and a and that the cirenlation will be. ‘ -out again. Comptroller Knox ism chagrined,-and is absut the or about the department- who openly condemn the banks pédiments they appe the of the ment of the public is to be deprecated and denounced, Persons who havé lately been in conversation with the President profess to believe that he will permit the funding bill to die without his signature. 5 A press dispatch from hence says “There seems to bea growing im-" pression with many members of the House who voted for the fanding bill that the measure was ill-advised, aud some have acknowledged that had- they fully realized the effect. of the” fifth section they would not: have voted forit. It is even intimated to- night that sufficient opposition will be developed in the House (if the bill. - can be taken from the Speaker’s table) to defeat it. Pending action by. Congress, Secretary Sherman will ex ercise discretionary power, with which he is. vested, to reticve, as far as pos- sible, the threatened stringency in th money market.” The LHerald’s correspondent writes as follows on the 26th: The funding billl has but aslim chance of becom- a law. The House has become almost as panicky as Wall street yesterday, and wheneyer the bill is called up it may. be smothered beneath a mass of of amendments—good, bad and ins different. In the present mind of the House these amendments will create discussion. Some of them will probab- ly be adopted, such as one which has been drawn directing the Secretary of the Treasury to issue greenbacks to the same amount as national bank circulation withdrawn. Any amend- ments or changes in the bill will send it back to the Senate, and the time is. = new short that the delay would probs ably be fatal the bill, and might even cause gome appropriation bills to f:il. It is said also that the Ree publicans in the House have very generally determined to oppose the bill, and that they may conclude to filibuster against it. It is the opinion of some cautious and conservative men here that the opposition of the national banks to the bill and the means some of them have taken to show and enforce it, are likely to have far reaching conse= * qnences not of a nature to benefit the country. Some congressmen who were originally opposed to the claase in the bill of forcing the banks to re- deem their bonds with their own bills, are now strongly in favor of if, They say that the events of the past week have shown a hitherto unsuse ~ pected power of combination in the. national banks, and lave disclosed that a number of banks may at any time by combining cause a suddey ig 32 : contraction of tie currency whieh © would derange not merely speculation, bat the legitimate business of the country. They say to prevent this danger is one of the first and most important duties of Congress, and_ that the Carlisle clause, interpreted as the banks have understood it, is the. shortest way that now offers to pro- ~ tect the business of the country im ~ this day of gigantic combinations. against attacks on the general stabilize” ty of trade and industry.

D., Superintendent Heafth of Rowan county. March 9th, 1881. ROWAN COUNTY. BY JR, GERMAN REFORMED CHURCH IN ROWAN. For the origin of the German Reformed Church we must look to the mountains of Switzerland, where Ulric Zwingle began to preach the Gospel in its purity, about the same time that Luther raised his voice for Christ in Germany. As there were differ- ences of opinion between Zwingle and Lu- ther upon the subject of the “real presence” in the Lord’s Supper, as well as upon some of the other doctrines of grace, the adher- eats of the two Reformers did not unite in the same body. After the death of Zwingle, his followers fell naturally im with the churches that were founded and nurtured by Calvin. In Germany, as well as in Switzerland, the Reformed Church is Cal- vinistic in faith and Presbyterian in church government. The Heidelberg Catechism is+ their Symbol, and they practice the rite of Conffymation, though by many this rite is regarded as little else than the ceremony of admitting candidates, who give evidence of conversion, to full communion, The German Reformed Church in the United States dates its origin to about 1740, and was formed by immigrants from Ger- many and Switzerland {who scttled in the eastern portion of Pennsylvania, About this time the tide of German immigration flowed southwardandalong with the Luth- crans whocame to Rowan frem 1745 and onward, were meny of German Reformed church atinities. LOWER STONE, OR GRACE CHURCH, lying ia the centre ef the German popula- tion of eastern) Rowan is the parent of all the German Reformed churches in) Rosvan county. The fathers and mothers of these inhabitants came into this region along with the Lutheran settlers about 1750, and their descendants may still be found on or near the old homesteads. The names of the Re- formed familics were Lingle, Berger, Fisher, Lippard, Peeler, Holshouser, Barnhardt. Kluttz, Roseman, Yost, Foil, Boger, Shup- ping, and others still fuminarin that region. According to the custom of these early days, the settlers united in building a joint or union church. The first church erected by the Lutherans and Reformed jointly was a log ehurch situated about six miles north cojumn will te found oa Mine.

(land forthe Lower Stone Church was par- ichased from Lorentz Lingle for two pounds, | 5 | | | | | | | | east of the present Lower Stone church, which was called St. Peter’s Church. From a want of harmony or other unknown cause aseparetion took phice, and the Lutherans built the Organ Church, and the Reformed built the Lower Stone Church. Both these cimrches were of stone work, and were named, one from its organ, ana the other from the material of its) building. The The decd bears the i) date of 1774 and conveys the land te Andrew Hotshouser and John Lippard for the ase Calvin Congregation.” The Re- formed Church was distinguished from other denominations in these early days by the fret that they were followers af the creat Reformer of Geneva, Joka Calvin, who perfected the Reformation that was begun in Switzerland by Ulric Zwingle. The site of this church is about four miles west of Gold Hill, on the Beattie’s Ford Road. The first structure was ef lous, but they were not long content with so humble a building, judging rightly that a house erected for the worship of God ought to be superior to their own dwellings, The Lutherans had just completed their house of stone, and in the year 1795 the Reform- ed Church set about the erectien of their church of the same material. The corner | stone was laid in 1795, und. r the pastorate of the Rev. Andrew Lorciz. Col. George i Henry Berger, who was a prominent mem- ber of the Rowan Committee of Safety be- fore the Revelution, aud Jacob Fisher, were theelders ef tae church at this time and were post active in the erection of the new church, But many trials and discourage- ments obstructed the good work, and it was not until November, 1811, sixteen years after the corner stone was laid, that the bnilding was completed and dedicated to the worship of God. In the services of that occasian Pastor Loretz was assisted by the Rev. Dr. Robinson, then and for many years the beloved pastor of the Presbyterian Chureh of Popular Fent. Previous to the pastorate of the Rey. Mr. Loretz there were different pastors, whose names are unknown. The Rev. Mr. Beuthahn resided in Guilfor®county, orga- nized ehurches, and preached among them, but supported himself cloefty by teaching a yrociamatian money. | A Ce ee Guilford couaty. BEY. SUTIIER was one Gf the early German Reformed min- isters in Guilford, Rowan and Cabarrus. In the journal of Goy, Tryon fer 1768, he re- lates that while he was at Major Phifer’s in Mecklenburg (now Cabarras) on Sunday, the 12st of July, he Sheard Mr. Luther, a Dutch minister, preach.” No deubt this is aw misprint for Mr. Suther, since there is no evidence that such a ministeras Luther was here, and there is evic ence of the presence of a Rev. Mr. Suther. He was sent out from the old country to preach to the Ger man Reformed peepie in the Carolinas, and was paster of the Guilferd charee during the Revolutionary war. Mr. Suther was a man of learning, ae} aa uncompromising patriot during the struggle for American trecdom, Tis residenee was a mile from the battle ground of the Regulaters in Ala- amance, May 16th, 1771. During the Rev- olution he was an outspoken patriot, and so obnoxious to the tories that he was often compelled to hide himscif from their vengeance. It Is said that there was but one single tory in his entirg charge. Capt. Weitzel, a member of Mr. Suther’s church, commanded a company in the battle of Guilford Court House that was made up of members of the Reformed Church. The records of Lower Stone Church mention Samuel Suther as its paster in 1782, and that he had removed thither from Guil- ford county. This was in the davs of tory ravages, when Col. David Fanning and his troop of marauders struck terror into the region that extends from Guilferd to SAMUEL Germen school in the southcast corner of eres of his death an residing in and hear ' The records that after 5 er Stone church show -Loretz’s time for many r s served by the loving, gentle and patiem Servant of God, the Rev. George Boger. Mr. Boger Was sticceederd in 1831 by Dr. B. Lerch, who- came among this people in the early days of his minis- try, finished his course here, and his dust now rests in the adjoining graveyard. Mr. Lerch was succeeded by the Rey. John Lantz, who, after a few years, removed to Catawba county, and from thence to Ha- gerstown, Md., where he finished lis earthly labors in 1852. Mr. Lantz was succeeded by the Rev. Thornton Butler, who had associated with him for a short time the Rev. Gilbert Lane.; Mr. Lane removed to New York, and in 1868 the Rev. Mr. Butler removed to IHinois and there died. The next pastor of the Lower stone Church was the Rev. J. C. Denny, of Guilford. Mr. Denny was educated for a Presbyterian minister, and was licensed by Orange Presbytery. Seceding from the Presbyterians, he was received and ordain— ed by the German:Refermed Classis, and served some of their churches. in Rowan county for a pumber ef -years.: Finding at length the German Reformed Charch net congenial to his tastes, he again seceded, and was received intetke Baptist Church, and is still a Baptist. The Lower Stone Church, after Mr. Denny's. Secession, was served for awhile by Professors Clapp and Foit ofthe Catawba College, and for the last few years by the Rev. R. F. Crooks, who is now pastor, ; i, ok ed = -yroust WePR ee? formerly called St. Paul's, is an offshoot of Lower Stone or Grace Church. The church was organized ahout 1835 or '40, frem members of the Reformed and Lutheran churches living in the neighborheod of Holshouser’s Mill, now known as Heilig’s Mill. The land for the church was given by Andrew Holsheuser, a member of the Reformed Church. In 1866 the church was removed about three miles further south to a point on the New Concord Road, seven niles south of Salisbury. Here a new brick ehurch 60x40 has been erected. The con- yregation was served first by the Rev. John Lantz. The Rev. Thornton Butler became pastor in 1852 and served them till 1857. He had associated with him for awhile the Rev. Gilbert Lane. Mr. Butler was succeeded by the Rev. J. C. Denny, and he by the Rev. P. M. Trexler, and he in 1878 by the Rev. John Ingle, who is the present paster, SUILOM CHURCH, of the Reformed Classis was organized March 19th, 1871,by Rey. J. C. Denny, with 17 members and has now 384 members. The pastors of this church have been Rev J. C. Denny, from March i871 to March, 1873; Rev. P. M. Trexler, from March 1873 to March 1876; Rev. J. ©.) Denny, from March 1876 to January 1878; Rev, Jolin In- gle from January 1878. ST, LUKE'S REFORMED CHURCII was orvanized Dec. 31, 1871, by Rey. P. M. Trexler, with 20 members, and now has 45 members. Rey. P. MM, Trexler was pastor from Dec. 31, 1871, to June 1877; Rev. Jno. Ingle, from Jan. 1, 1878, to present time. Mount Hope, Shiloh and St. Luke's are offshoots of Lower St&e (Grace Church), MT, ZION REFORMED CUURCII is situated ten miles south of Salisbury on the Concerd Road. Next to Lower Stone it is probably the eldest Reformed church in the county. For many years this church worshipped in the same house with the Lutherans at “Savaces.” But when the Lutherans erected a new chareh about forty years ago, the German Reformed erected a new church also near the old sitcand named it Mt. Zion. They have lately erected a second handsome brick church. This church has been served by x. succession of ministers, in many cases the same who served the Lower Stone chureh. Rev. P M. Trexler is the present pastor, The au- thor regrets that his efforts to get accurate statistics of this church have failed, and that he is compelled te give such a general acceunt of it. Rowan county contains three chnrges of the German Reformed Church: Central Rowan, Rev. Jolin Ingle pastor, 139 mem- bers; West Rewan, Rev. P. M. Trexler pas- tor, 290 members; East Rowan, Rev. R. F. Crooks, pastor, 433 members. Pastors 3, churches 5, members 862... From the total membership we must s@btract about 145 members who belong to Mt. Gilead church, in Cabarrus county. = s wart <> ne a COMMISSIONERS’ MEETING.

Oe ee By reference to the reports for the past several years made by the North Caroli- na Experiment Station, it will be seen that Soluble Pacific Gaano (tested v the commercial value) has held the highest rank among the forty or fifty different brands of commercial fertilizers offered for sale in the State. This is a splendid, but not undeserved, tribute to the Paefie Guano Company, which for sixteen years has manufactured an article universally admitted to be au- surpassed in its remarkable effects upon the growth ef the great Southern staple. Indeed, so well known is Soluble Pacific Guano, that we have almost ceased to issue circulars except for distribution in the more remote districts and in those recently opened to Railroad transportation. Although we have thousands of testimonials as to the valne of Solable Pacific Ga- adjoining counties, which will serve to stimulate ibaa among those who:have not used it, and will result in securing favorable personal testimony from its old patrons to those who are desireus of learuing its results in the past, which results, combin- ed with the solid reputgtion of the Pacitic Gaane Company, are a sufficient guaran- tee that the standard will be strictly maintained in the future. TESTIMONIALS: J. ALLEN Brown, AGT: .

Some persons insist that the finger nails are signs of character. The slen- der tapering nail, they say, indicates a refined nature which is sometimes accompanied by a shrewish teniper. The broad, stuvby nail suggests nat- ural coarseness which may be allied to good nature. Whether these are signs or not, it is true that the care of the nails reveals personal habits as to cleanliness. Nails may be greatly improved, both in shape and color, by proper attention. The best appliance is a nail brush nsed in water softened by the addition of a little borax, and really fine toilet soap. In well-brushed ahd weil-cared for nails the little curtain-like rim which surrounds them is well pushed or rolled back, displaying generally,a delicate little crescent at the root, The skin of the finger shoald never be allowed to grow up on the nail. In paring and trimming the shape given should always be as long an oval as possible. To cut a nail squar- ly off gives the-fingee end a stubby look. The corners should be carefully and closely cut, the center left rather long,so asto give the long oval shape. In cleaning the nails the knife should never scrape off the inner sub- xtance of the nail, as this renders the edge opaque and muddy in appear- ance, whereas it should be transpa- rent. The nail is susceptible of a high degree of polish by rubbing with the towel when drying the hands. The habit of biting the nails is one against which children should be carefully guarded. the very structure of the nail, and once acquired, is one of the most difficult habits to break, This is evi- denced by the fact that some men and women, but- more ~ especially men, have a habit of biting their nails when It is ruinous to reading or studying, of which they are perfectly unconscious, ~=- of SYisdom. Words ¢ He who is never guilty of foliy is not so wise as he imagines, Prosperity unmasks the vices ; ad- versity reveals the virtues. An indiscreet manis |jke an un- sealed Jetter—every one can read it. Some persons mistake noise for ar- gument. They that govern most make least noise, He that too much fears hatred is unfit to rule.

In fillowing these they penetrate very deep into the ground, somctines going as far down as ten or twelve feet. | The season for their appearance and disappearance differs somewhat with the latitude, though not so inaterially as one might suppose. They appear a little earlier in the South than in the North, but the last half of May can be set down as the period during: which they emerge from the ground, in many parts of the country, which they generally leave by the 4th of July. As is the case with a great many other insects, the males make their appearance sey- eral days before the females, and also disappear sooner.

COMMUNICATED. Jackson Hill Letter. Jackson Hint, N. C., March 7, 1881. Editor Watchman: It is presumable that it may not be altogether uninteresting to many of your readers to see some further account of the wolves that infest Mentgom- ery, and a portion of the counties of Ran- dolph, Davidson, Stanly, Richmond and Moore. Careful inquiry reveals facts that go to prove that these wolves are of the aboriginal stack of the parts of country above named; that they are of the largest American species; and that, in point of size and ferocity, they are net at all inferior to the great Siberian Lapsus Vorax. A gentleman of unquestionable veracity informed the writer that he was attacked, and pursued, at night, near the nerthern boundary of Montgomery, about thirty years ago, by an animal making a very strange, and to him unearthly, noise, which animal wasof a dark color, and of the size of a large wolf, and which, at that time, he was unableto name. After the attack, he hastened home, procured his two mastiffs, which werelarge,plucky, and very obedient, and proceeded immediately to the spot where he had been attacked. Taving shown them the tracks of his assailant,they seemed at once subdued and reluctant, and could not be induced te pursue him. A young man of dauntless courage, and more than ordinary physical strength and activity, living in the southwestern corner of Randolph, was, some time during the past winter, the subject of a most deter- mined onslaught by one of thesc welves. He, it seems, had been visitins a neighbor, with whem he had remained until about _by dint of repeated blows and heavy kicks, animal making repeated springs at him,and being as often repelled. The wolf having at length retreated to the roadside, and seeming to be not yet fully satisfied with the preceedings, the yeung man having by this time become fully satisfied as to the business qualifications of the wolf, called aloud for help. His neighbor hearing him took two able-bodied curs and ran to his relief; and upon his arrival the young man related the facts as above stated, adding that it could not have been a dog, since no deg under heaven could have made such a noise asthe animal rcferred to had made. The curs being shown the tracks of the an- imal, which had in the meantime skulked away, refused; as might have been ex pect~ ed, to give hint chase: -:- | in ft On a cerfain pights-year or two ago, according to reliable information, one of the best citizens of Stanly county. ving in the neighborhood ot Mineral Springs Institute, had his accustomed equanimity greatly jostled by the sudden, sharp, shrill and pro- longed squall ofa wolf, which had ventured His dogs, on being encouraged to take him, re- tired by crawling under the house, and could not be persuaded to come out, thus forsaking their friend and master to take care of himself as best he might, and show- ing,as a great many hunters very well know, that dogs will not pursue wolves with any useful effect, Over twelve months ago, a gentleman liv- ing in the region of Troy, while hunting, toa point very near his dwelling. heard his dog, which was acknowledged te be the master of aty other doe in all that part ofthe country, fighting with something, and from the noise that he was being badly hurt; he therefore ran to the spot where the noise was heard, and found he knew his large able dog in what appeared to be a mortal combat witha large wolf The ° : . . . wolf, on secing the man, relinquished his hold on the dog, and scampered away, the nan having had no chance to shoot him without endangering his dog. Near the spet where the fight had occurred he found aden of young wolves. He procured help, and lay in concealment near by, hoping to be able to kill the old wolf when she should attempt to return to her young; but in this he was foiled, since, although she would come within hearing, she wourd not come within sight. Heand his) party captured the pups, however, and tried to tame and raise them, but they proved to he so incor- rigible that they were obliged to kill them, From tie best Tnformation attuinab'e, these wolves are masters of the situation. Their large size, long sharp teeth, superior activity and strength, and acuteness of the senses of smelling, hearing and secing, all conspire to make them formidable oeeu- pants of the forest, and coupled with the fact that dogs will not give them chase, to inuke their extermination almost impossi- They are asshy as the fox by day, but almost as beldas the lion by night; and Ile. should their number become, by any means considerably increased, and by the opera- tion of the stock Jaw, or otherwise, their supply of mutton be withdrawn from the forest, they would not hesitate to appro- priate to the nourishment of their bodies the unwary traveler who should chance to come in their way atter nightfall. ICHTHYOPMAGOS, Se ep ee Washington Letter. Tnangurel Festivities, Paradcs, Dickpock- ets, Processions, Balls, Dills, Babel. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) WasHincron, D.C., Mareh, 10, 1821. We are just through with the inangu- ration ceremonies, fetes, processions, re- ceptions, and balls, and every household- er and his wife, in) Washington, is re- jeiced that the agony is over. T have seen the crowds that flocked to) Fairmount Park during the days of the Centennial Exhibition, and in) Paris at the Interna- tional Fair of 1372. T have seen the two largest capitals of Enrope en fete, but, for a well appointed and) well performed programme of celebration and festivity, IT have never seen anything that was equal, ab initio ad finem, to the inaugu- ration of President Garfield. With the exception of Paris no other city has such wide, smooth, and solid streets for pro- eessional display, and no city has such a spacious and well appointed building for receptions and balls, as the new Nation- al Museum affords. It was the remark of many, that, if this spacious system of salons had been built with special refer- enee to such fetes as was witnessed there Friday night it could not have been bet- ter planned. The iuanguration coimmi - tee spared neither labor nor expense to make the ball sucees:fiul, and the eelat of the occasion borrowed quite as much from their work on the building, and the per- fection of its appointments, as from the brilliant assemblage that gathered in its halls. It will be impossible, in thé space of one short letter, to gointo details. There were over four thousand guests among whom were the President of to- day and the President of yesterday ; Generals Hancock, Sherman, Sheridan, and many other distinguished army and naval officers in full uniform ; Ministers of foreign powers, with their attaches, all in full court dress; Senators and Mem- bers of Congress, Governors and ex-Gov- ernors of States; Ladies by the battal- form, or costume.

Mareh 5th, 1881. Variations in the Cumposition of Some Fertilizer, Bulletin No. 3, A matter of great importance to farmers is illustrated by the following analyses of of different samples of one aud the same brand of fertilizer taken at different times and places. It appears that some fertili- zers are not auiform in composition. Some lots are so different from other lots sold under the same name as to render it improbable that the variations are the results of imperfect mixing. Numerous facts which have come under my observa- tion leads me to believe that this varia— tion is intended iu some cases. This is of course a violation of the law and is’ very nisguiding to the farmers. Three sam- ples of the same fertilizer, claiming to be av special fertilizer fur tobaceo are (I,) ta- ken at Henderson last spring analyzed by Dr. Ledoux, (1) from lotsoid G. L.

We see that the samples represent quite different articles. No.1, the sample from Henderson is the only one which contains enough Potash to entitle it to be called a special tobacco fertilizer. The Lincoln. ton and the Danville samples differ too, No. Hf, Danville, contains more Potash and Ammonia. No. Ll, Lincolnton more Available Phosphoric Acid. No. I, sold at Henderson for $50.00 per tou; II, at Danville for $55.00; IT, at Lincolnten for 343.00. The facts are instructive in’ two ways. First: Farmers cannot always rely upon fertililers as of uniform compo- sition. Numerous good brands have es- tablished themselves as of uniform position. But all are not so, as many facts prove. Farmers should have the compo- sition of every lot guaranteed to them and should verify this by sending sample to Station for analysis. The Department will take numerous samples of each brand at different points this season in the en- deavor te detect these uncertain brands. Second: The case before us shows, as do many other facts, that the articles sold in North Carolina are much superior to the articles sold under same vame in ad- joining States. The sample from Dan- ville is inferior to the North Carolina samples, while $5.00 more per ton was asked for it than for the best-North Caro- lina article. Farmers should buy where they gain the advantage of the protection of the fertilizer control established for their benefit. Ciras, W.

Injecting Morphine. A number of persons more or less promi- nent in different walks of life have died it this city, eays a New York paper, within a few months from the direct effect, it is said, of hypodermic injections of morphine. Most of them had, according to report, begun the injections in order to relieve themselves from pain caused by neuralgia, rheumatism or some other distressing disorder. The effect was so pleasant, so delicious, indeed, and they were gradually seduced into sach use of morphine when they had no need of it, and, soon yielding completely to the habit, were destroyed by it. Physicians say that this has grown to be far from un- '{ catamen among persons of wealth ‘und. po- sition, particularly among women, who, af- ter having tried it awhile, have not had the strength to relinquish the delightful anodyne. Nor is it by any means confined to New York. Theevil has spread all over the land, though it is most prevalent in the large cities. It is said fo have grown alarm- ingly during the last five or six years, and many persons who would never be suspect- ed of the habit are its irredeemable victims. It has largely usurped the place, with cer- tain classes, of the eld custom of taking morphine, Jaudanum, and other prepara- tions of opium into the stomach. The pop- ular notion is that it is not so harmful. But there is very little difference, and the in- jections are thought to be more dangerous because they are more insidious. They can be scif-administered without the least-trou- ble, and are so administered in nearly all where mischief is done. The effect of the morphine under the skin is described as peculiarly and wonderfully agrecable. A delicieus languor steals over the frame, the senses are wrapped as in a voluptuous dream, and a most joyous con- sciousness of perfect yet fascinating repose softly overflows the mind. Even strong men and women have frequently found it hard to resist its allurements, and have not been able to surrender its beatitudes with- out arousing all their will. On this account some physicians will not administer or pre- scribe morphine under any circumstances, fearing the consequences to their patients. Not a few women or the finer type have been wrecked by the habit, and many men, professional and commercial, are steadily ruining themselves by its indulgence. It was hailed as a great blessing once, and so it is, properly regulated; but, like so many- blessings, it may readily be converted into cases serious a curse. +> Grape Culture. The grape ought to be as widely dis- seminated as the apple, and there is no good reason why it should not be. The large vineyards can supply our city pop- ulation, but to supply the agricultural dis- tricts, grapes must be grown at home. This can be dove at se small cost that no man who owns a home with a half acre of land has any apology for depriving his family of grapes. An eighth of an acre in vines will supply a family and leave a surplus to sell. Any well drained Jand that will produce sixty bushels of corn to the acre may be expected to produce good grapes. Well prepared borders, with a good supply of bones are desirable, but by no means essential, A dressing of wood ashes is an excellent: fertilizer, but any manure good for corn will be good for the vines. The varieties which do well under the greatest variety of circam- stances and bear neglect best are such as the Concord, the Hartford Prolitic and the Ives Seeding. There are grapes of much better quality than these, but they are good enough to suit the popular taste and are hardy. They can be relied upon to bear fruit every season in generous quantity. The Ives has a thick skin, and is particn- larly desirable to pack in boxes for winter use. They have been for years before the public, are thoroughly tested and can be furnished very cheaply by any nurseryman. A cheap treilis of chestnut posts and wire will be all the support they need. A four months’ supply of grapes will promote health in the family, save doctors’ bills and prove ar important part of the food supply. —American Agriculturist. —— Par’s EquivocaL ANSWER.—A certain literary gentleman, wishing to be undis- turbed one day, instrueted his Irish ser- vant to admit no one, and if any one should inquire for him to give an equivo- eal answer.

Ricuaoxp, Va., March 5.—The Die- pateh eilitorially says: We would pro- neanee the inaugural an excellcnt one speaking of it as it will strike the North- ern people, for whon, ef courre, it was specially intended. It has as little North. ern and anti-Southern sentiment in it aswe could have expected to find ina document originating in the Ashtabula of Ohio. We cannot agree with the Presideut in the beneficient effeet of making voters of negroes, but we can agree that the abol:tion of _slavery was a biessing, and we concede that ‘hasiates his case forcibly when he says there is in this country ne middle‘ grount between slavery and full citizenship. SavannaH, Ga., March 5.—Of the in- augutal the Morning News says: This address will be read with interest and satisfaction by the patriotic and conser- vative masses of Americans of all parties and all sections of theunion. Itis ad- mired alike for its statesmunship-like candor and moderation, and for the fra- ternal and conciliatory spirit which per- vades it throughout. If we may regard it as an indication ef the spirit and policy which is to govern President Gartield’s administration, itis safe to say that while he was not our choice for president and while we may differ with hlm_ in re- good to measures, he will encounter no illiberal or factions opposition from the Southern Demvcracy. GALVESTON, March 5.—The Galveston News commenting on President Gar- field’s inaugural address, remarks that it is something more than a clever presen- tation of decent latitudes. In summing up the centenial history of the republic he fairly signified that however much he may respect the proper authority of the States, and however much he may es- teem the blessings of local self govern- ment, he leans earnestly aud decidedly to the extreme nationalistic theory of the present union known as the United States. The News says his illusion tothe relation between the whites and the emancipated negroes, is of a wholeas statesman-like and cousiderate as could be expected from a president representing the tradi- tions and professions of the Republican party, His utteranees on the subject of universal education as a necessary ad- junct of universal saffrage are emphitic and worthy of the occasion. CHATTANOOGA, Mareh 5.—The Daily Times says of the address: Inaugural specches and letters accepting the party nominations are generally glittering cor- dons of words so strung together as most effectually to conceal the specitic ideas and the intents of the writers and speak- ers. Garfield’s speech, at the east front of the capitol yesterday, was not. au ex- ception in kind tothis rule. It may be regarded as good or otherwise by parti san er other critics, but it is only rela- tively good or bad, being neither one nor the other in any positive sense. Montcomery, ALA., March 5,—The Montgomery Advertiser comments briefly on the inaugural and says: It is more elaborate than such documents usually are, and, with few exceptions, is highly creditable and conservative throughout. AvuGusTa, Ga., Mareh 5.—The Chroni- cle says the inaugural address is worthy of careful pesrual by anyone interested in the welfare of the republic. It is oue of the ablest documents of the kind ever presented tothe people of the United States—temperate and conservative in its utterances with «a vein of good com- mon sense running through it all. It gives promise of a wise and patriotic adminis- tration of the government for the next four years. WASHINGTON, March 5.—The Stircloses its comments on the inaugural address as follows: If Presideut Gartield will do as well as he promises, if the acts of his ad- ministration shall correspond with the declarations of his pronunciamento, he will retire from office holding a higher place in’ the regard of the whele people than he now possesses, when entering upon his presidential term. He Las very high abilities. Let his stability and pa- triotism and sense of responsibility be equal to the requirments of his high office, and he will gain permanent favor. Let him be President, not of a mere party or section, but of the whole Union and the whole people aud he will prove a bless- ing to his generation and his country. LoutsviLLe, Ky., Mareh 5.—The Cou- rier Journal says: President Garfield’s inaugural address presents a strong con- trast to that of Mr. Hayes’ four years ago. It abounds in astrong and vigorous thonght. It comes as from a man who knows where he stands, knows what his daty is, and mezns to do it though the heavens fall. There is an absence of the partisan eoloring, and palpable conscious- ness, the great office he holds must not be prostituted to please party purposes. There is evidence that be isa mau who knows his country wants rest frow sec- tional unrest, sectional jealously, sectiot - al bitterness, and that as far as in him lies he will labor to thatend. His re- ference to the South will hardly satisfy extreme men of his party.

We have heard the tobacco-user elaine that the weed was food and drink to. him: but never thoroughly believed him until: & British parliamentary report. on adal- teration set farth the following “Sugar, alam, lime, flour or meat, starch, cummin, chromate lead, }moss, wolsasea, bardo ae ws black, gum, refdye; a black dyé comped: ed of vegetables, red licorice, scrips of bewspapers, cinnamon stick, cabbage leaves, aud strawbrowa paper.” This is convincing. Not only is it food and drink, but it is also house and land, paint-shop and literature, with drags, condiments, and chemicals fhrewn in ad lib. Verily tobacco is potent, but a little diffusive.— Boston Trauscript. Tr Ee A Our River Improvements.

North Carolina 1s only feurteen hours’ ride from New York city, and it is claimed that the cost ofa journey trom here to the west will buy a youd farm dewn there. There is probably some mistake as to the eounty referred to in the above. There is no gold mine in Davidson ceunty which will compare with Gold Hill in Rowan, for the quantity of goid taken trom it. The silver and lead mines of Davidson are un- questionably valuable properties, and she has seme valuable gold mines also. We bave no information of the inexhaustable iron deposits of Davidson, though it is quite probable slie possesses much wealth in these. It is not untrequent that we first hear of valuable mines in this section through New York sources. rn Oe THE Czanrs ASSASSINATION. — There have been several attempts to assasinate the Czar of Russia, the sixth and Jast, Mare! 14, proving successful. The tele- graphicaccountis very brief, touching only afew particulars, as follows : Lonvox, Mareh 14.—The Zimes has the following from St. Petersburg; ‘The Doctors’ Bulletty published at 3 o’clock iu the afternoon siated that both legs were broken below the knee, the lower part of the body severely injured and the lett eye tern from its socket. The Grand Duke Michael is not hurt. The agsassius Were disguised as peasants. One report states that one of them was so youghly handled that he has since died. All of the army officers have been order- ed toremain in their barracks, The Council of the enipire under the presi- dency of the Czarowitz was still silting at9 o'clock to-night. A manifesto will be published ta-day, An imperial manifesto was published the same day announcing the succession of Alexander third, as Emperor and Autrocrat of all the Russias, Czar of Polard, Grand Duke of Finland, &c. Ve asceuds the throne as an inheritance from his forefathers, ‘‘assuming the heavy bareen which God has imposed wpon us witha firm reliance upon his Almighty help ;” and with prayers for God’s blessing upou himself and his peo- ple. The remarkable part of this jm- perial manifesto, as its strikes au Ameri- can is, that Alexander the third ‘Com- mands” “all our faithful subjects to unite before the altar of the Almighty their prayers with ours, to sicear tidelity to us nnd to our successor.” It is however in strict accord with the laws and customs of the Country, and will meet with little or no opposition. It depends on the policy of the new Emperor in the aduyin- istration of public affairs whether he will have a pleasant time on the throne, EE OOO The gross weight ef hogs packed in Cin- cinatti this winter is 2,156,000 pounds less than last season.

On this the main vein, or ‘mother lode” of the property, a shaft 125 feet deep has been sunk to test it, and “stoping” has been carried on from this about 130 feet each way. The vein is a decomposed, pyritiferous quartz, and in many places the decomposition has given rise to almost ptue limonite inthe oic, Thereare about five thousand tons of this ore, yielding five dollars per ton, on the dump, and re- serves under ground of about three thou- sand tons more. There is a third shaft, a very large ona, which is now being sunk. It is to be the prominent working shaft for the main vein, and will cut the vein at about 450 feet deep.

THE BAPTIST CHURCHES OF ROWAN. According to Benedict’s “History of. the Baptists,” the oldest church of this denomi- nation in America is the First Baptist church of Providence, Rhode Island. Roger Wil- liams, having been banished from Massachu- setts, by the General Court, by a decree adopted in Noy. 1635, because le taught that the civil magistrate ought not to inter- fere in cases of heresy, apostasy, and for other offenses against the first Table of the Law, wandered into the regiuns outside the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, and tlie fol- lowing year laid the foundations of the city of Providence. In the course of three years a number of families cast in their lot with Williams, and in March,1639, he-and Ezekiel Holliman and ten others, met to organize a church. The whole company reyarded themselves as unbaptized, and as they knew no one to whom they could apply for bap- tism, they appointed Mr. Holliman to bape tize Mr. Williams, and hein his turn baptiz- ed Mr. Holliman and the ten others. The families of these first members probably also belonged to their church, and in a short time they were reinforced with twelve other members. From this beginning this denom- ination gradually spread abroad through New England, and in the middie colonies. The growth was not rapid, for at the expi- ration of the first hundred years, it is esti- mated that there were bat thirty-seven Baptist churches in America, aud probably less than three thousand members. At this period, however, there began an cra of ex- traordinary growth. In 1740, George White- field began to preach in Boston, and multi- tudes were converted to God. Many of these converts became Baptists, and were called “Separates” or “New Lights.” Seven of these “Separates” organized the second Baptist Church of Boston, and their views spread abroad. In 1754, Shubeal Stearns, with cight fam- ilies and sixteen members, set out from Bos- ton for the South. After halting forawhile in Virginia, they settled ultimately on San- dy Creck, in Randolph county, North Car- olina. They were of the “Separate,” or “New Light” order ef Baptists. They were not hewever the first Baptists in North Car- olina. As far back as 1727, Paul Palmer gathered a Baptist Church at a place called Perquimans, on the Chowan river. About 1742, one Wim. Sojourner led a colony from Berkley county, Virginia, and established a Baptist Church on Kehukee cree, ia IMali- fax county, North Carolina. But the Sandy Creek church, under Shubeal Stearns, was the first organization of the kind in Western North Carolina. Ta 1854, the Baptists of North Carolina were visited by the Rey. Rev. Jno, Gane, the Rev. Benjamin Miller and the Rev. Peter P. Vanhorn, who were sent South by the Philadelphia Association. Whea the Rev. Het McAden, a Presbyte- rian minister, visited Nerth Carolina in 1755, he found a Mr. Miller—he says—a Baptist Minister, preach ng and visiting in the Jersey Church. By his labors and those into the workings, loaded, | of the Rev. Mv. Gano, a Baptist Church was pecial atreution to their advertisement of | hoisted to the surface and run tothe mill, | established at the Jersey Mecting House, the Baldwin Dissolved Bowes, which is} thus bringing the ore from the vein tothe} that Call aud gee ther for advantageous terns. highly reconmmended for cotton. Sey The present outlook foreshadows un- usual activity in the mereautile trade, and tome of our imetchants are busily pre paring for the uew season. Several of them have gone North to make their pur- chases, among whom are W. LL. Klutts, of the firm of Klattz & Rendleman, and J. D. Gaskill. Oo Reporter was mistaken in last issue, in saylug the Board of County Comimission- ers bad appropriated S LOU to the “Rowan Teachers’ Association.” They appropri- ated $100 for establishing a Teachers’ In- stitute in the county, during the summer, pursuant tu the new Schoo! Law. 0 The Hook aud Ladder bill passed the Legislature, and the Salisbury H. & L. Company find themselyos an iucorporat- ed body. They hope now to have a bet- ter and more efticieut force. Senator Wilfamson was made an honorary mem- ber, by way of acknowledgmeut for his exertions in their behalf. They will re: orgauize next Friday night at the Mayar’s Office, and those desiring to join the com- puny are reqnested by the ineorporators to net with them on that vcersiou. ——o Mr. Frank Browu has returned from Raleigh, he being one of the 42 who re- mained at his post of duty until the ad- journment of the Legislature.

Mr. Cady deserves great credit for the very practical manner in) which he has conducted this work. Before setting up any expensive machinery, he has wisely gone under ground and opened the mine, carefully estimated the quality and quan- tity of ore to be obtained, and after this examination which has involved months of labor and hundreds of dollars of ex- pense; he is satisfied with the value and extent of the ore, and is now going ahead as rapidly as possible with the work. In two months he will have the mills going, and will then realize good returns for the preliminary outlay. <a The North State Mining Company are writing on paper with a heading which reads as follows: “Oilice of the North State Mining Company’s Railread, from Salisbury to Jeffersou.” We are glad to note this fact, as it shows that the management favor making Salis- bury one of the termini of the new road.

Mr. MeAden expressed the fear that the Presbyterians, who seem to have been the inost numerous, previous to that time, would soon become two weak to call or support a minister, His fears have been realized, About 1768, or ’70, the Rev. Mr. Draige, an Episcopal Minister, effected an organiza- tion of the Episcopal Church in the ‘Jer- seys,” but that church too ceased, in time to occupy the field. The Baptists remained in possession, and the Jersey church became the parent of nearly all the Baptist chureh- es of Rowan. There were other Baptist churches, a hundred years ago on the Uwharrie piver, on AbDbott’s Creek, and in Surry county. But for three quarters ofa century this denomination made little pro- gress in the present limits of Rewan. The churches as they now exist, as well as can be ascertained, originated as follows. FLAT CREEK isa Primitive Baptist Church, and is. situ- ated in the edge of Rowan near the Stanly line on the Yadkin River, and was consid- ed an old church forty years ago. It is probably an offsheot of the Sandy Creek Church of Shubeal Stearns. The member- ship is small. CORINTH is situated at Morgan’s muster greund, about fourteen miles cast of Salisbury, about four miles from the Yadkin. It was organized in 1868, from converts of a mecting held by the Rev. Messrs. Morton, Carter and Lam- beth. This church has the largest mem ber- ship—about one hundred —of any Baptist Church in the county, and has a neat and comfortable house ef worship. Rev. Mr. Hodge is the pastor. MT. ZION, was also organized in 1867 from converts of the same meeting. This church has about twelve members and worships in ’n arber, eleven miles from Salisbury, beyond Dutch Second Creck, Rev. J. C. Denny, preaches there. GOLD HILE church was organized in 1871. This church owns a house, but its membership is net very large. Rev. J. B. Stiers was their first preacher. After him the Rev. Mr. Stekes preached to them awhile. TRADING FORD Church was established as a Branch of the Jersey Church in 1756, and was served by the Rev. Wm. Lambeth for fifteen years, be ginning in 18%3. before the organization, and continuing itil 1869. They commen- ced in the woods, with a school house and an arber, but have now a comfortable building of their own, eight miles east of Salisbury on the Milkér’s Ferry Road. In the summer of 1870, Elders Bessent, Allison, and one other, met as a Presbytery and or- ganized it a full and separate church. Since Mr. Lambeth ceased to minister to them they have had as ministers, Rev. C. W. Bes- sent, Rev. W. R. Gwaltny, Rev. S. F. Con- rad and Rev. Mr. Morton. SALISBURY Baptist CHURCH. On the 11th of August, 1549, the Baptists worshiping in Salisbury were set off asa Branch of the Jersey Cuurch under the min- istry of the Rev. S. J. O’Brien, a talented and earnest preacher of the gospel. The next year—April 21st, 1850—the Rev. J. B. Soloman became minister in charge, and the following month (May 26) the Branch with Mr. Soloman as or, and Jolt A. | Wierman as Church Clerk. There were at that time ten white and eight colored mem- bers—eighteen in all, In August of the same year the church united with the Lib- erty Asseciation In Sept, 1? _Mr. Solo- man resigned, and the church Was vacant until Nov. 6th, 1852, when Rev. Rt, H. Grif- fith teok charge and served it until 1854. In 1856 the Rev. J.C. Averitt established school in Salisbury and served the church for one year. In 1857, the Rev. Wm. Lam- beth, of Salisbury, who had been ordained in 1854, and was preaching at Trading Ford; was chosen pastor of the church. Being destitute of a house of their own, and the war coming on in a few years, the little band was scattered, and services were sus- pended. - é Near the close of the war the Rey. Theo. Whitetie!d preached in Salisbury occasivnal- ly, but for ten years after this time, no rey- ular services were held by this “church. In Nov., 1876, the North Carolina Baptist As- sociation appointed the Rev. J. B. Boone to labor in Salisbury, and rebuild, if possible, this declining church. Seven,métsbers ral- lied aronnd him—only seven of the fifty- seven, who were here in 1855. Onthe 3d of February, 1877, the church wits dissolved | in order to form a new organization, with ethers who were to be added by baptism. On the next day twelve eee ba ptiz- ed, and on the foHowing day, (Feb. 5, 1877) a Presbytery consisting of theRey. Messrs. F. M. Jordan, W.R. Gwa!tny, Theo. White- ficld, Wm. Lambeth and d.

Nearly two years ago, however, a lot near the Ceurt House was secured for $400. Since-that time a more desirable lot, on the corner of Church and Council streets, adjeining Oak Grove Cemetery, has been seeured, and there they expect soon to erect a church. ‘The present number ef member is fifty. Calvinistic in doctrine, Cengregational in povernment, of the ordér called Missionary Baptists,, this church holds up.the hight of the gospel and points sinners te the Lamb ef God. The materials for this sketch have been col- lected from Benedict's‘ History of the Buptist,” notes furnished by Rec. J. B. Boone, and recol- leetivns of Reo. Wm. Landbeth. In closing these sketches of the Rowan Churches, it may be remarked that there are a few small Protestant Methodist church- es in the county and perhaps a Northern Methodist church or twe, but the writer has no facts in possession concerning them. There are also anumber of Roman Catholics in Salisbury, who are visited eccasionally by Priests from Charlotte and elsewhere. Since the'r emancipation the colored peo- ple of Rowan have formed themselves into churches in all parts of the county. In Salisbury there are two Baptist colored churches, one Methodist and one Presbyte- rian, with their regular pastors, and each of these denominations have several churches in the county. Some of these ministers, especially in the town, are well cducated, earnest and pious men, and are laboring to elevate their people, not enly by their regu- lar pulpit ministrations, but by means of schools for their daily instruction, They are now working out the great problem of their social regeneration, and accumulating by their efforts materials that may be prop- erly and profitably incorporated in some future [listory of the Churches of Rowan.

Secretary Blaine’s attention was last evening called tothe published state- went that ho had said “au extra session would be called for May 15th,” and his einphatic reply was: “I have never made such statement, and, furthermore, hare neverheard the proposition discussed.” There is undoubtedly a growing current in favor of an extra session of Congress.

General Grant and Mrs. Gagut yester- day breakfasted with the Président and Mrs. Garfield at’ the White House. The remainder of the day they speut at their hotel and received a few visitors, and in the evening dined with General Beale. It was expected that the General would leave for New York last evening, but the programme was changed, he having de- cided to remain here anather day. Adwiral Porter and ather high naval oiticers called upon Secretary Huut in uniform to pay their respects to-day. Au Indiana delegation did likewise. Secretary Blaiue to-day had a large number af callers. He has a reception but little second to that of the President. The Department was overun with callers.

By reference to the reports for the past several years made by the North Caroli- na Experiment Station, it will be seen that Soluble Pacific Guano (tested by the commercial value) has held the highest rank among the forty or fifty differeut brands of commercial fertilizers offered for sale iu the State. This is a splendid, but not undeserved, tribute to the Pacfle Guano Company, which for sixteen years has manufactured au article universally admitted to be un- surpassed in its remarkable effects upon the growth of the great Southern staple. Indeed, so well known is Soluble Pacific Guano, that we have almost ceased to issue circulars except for distribution in the more remote districts and in those recently opened to Railroad transportation. Although we have thousands of testimonials as to the value of Soluble Pacific Gu- ano, we will only publish below a few from some of the leading farmers of this and adjoining counties, which will serve to stimulate inquiry among those who have not used it, and will result in securing favorable persoual testimony from its old patrons to those who are desireus of learning its results in the past, which results, combin- ed with the solid reputation of the Pacitic Gaano Company, are a sufficient gaaran- tee that the standard will be strictly maintaiced in the future. —0:— TESTIMONIALS: J.

This is not spring poetry but an early spting snake story, and its truthfulness is vouched fors Two gen‘lemen of this city went down to Neuse river recently, fishing. They stayed all night. After supper they lit their pipes, baited their hooks and stuck the ends of their poles in the bank of the river, after which they threw themselves on the grass to have a quiet smoke and chat. The conversation turned on snakes. Said one who pretended not to be afraid of snakes, “I tell you, Bob, (we will call one Bob aud the other Jim), there {ssomeof theall-firedest, durodest, big- gestsnakesaround here youever saw. I saw one here once that wasas large asthe largest part of my thigh, and they told me be was small to some of them. Suppose one of them was to come crawling along here now, what would you do?” Just then a rustle in the leaves was heard Bob turned to see from whence came the noise, Jim quietly slipped up and stuck a pin about half way up io Bob’s leg. That was evough., With a vell anda bound that would have surprised a Comanche Indian, he exclaimed: “Great God, Jim, I’m snake bitten. I saw him just betore he struck, aud he was as big ag my body. Oh, Lord, what shall Ido, And there is not a drop of whisky in five miles of here.” In the meantime, Jim was rolling and tumbling on the ground fairly bursting his buttons with laughter. Bob soon saw the point, and felt it, too, we expect, and quieted down. Abont 12 o’clock that night they were attending to their hooks, and chatting as if there wasn’t a snake in ferty miles of the place. Bob saw his chance. With a little willow stick hecrept up behind Jim, and while he was trying to stick the end of the pole in the bank of the river he wig- gled the stick in between Jim’a legs and exclaimed : “Look out Jim, there’s a snake.” Jim saw it, apd with a yell he leaped forward and landed in about ten-foot water. When he came to the top and could get the water from his 9) aod when nose and mouth he said ; “Bob, by golly, we are even.”— Raleigh Visitor. . TN err tae A Terrapin Farm. The Mobile (Ala.) Register has the following account of a terrapin farm owned by Mulford Dorlon at Cedar Point: This projection of land is on the western shore of Movdile Bay, about thirty miles below this city, and is inhabited principally by oystermen, who reap golden harvests from the many beds which furnish nearly eve- ty eyster brought to Mobile. Mr. Darlon, who keeps a store at this point, has about three acres fenced in with strong pilings. Leading to this in- closure are two canals, one on the bay side and the other on the gulf side, which supply with salt water a nnmber of ditches ten feet wide and 100 feet long. the excavation of these The sand accumulating from ditches is thrown on each side, and used by the terrapins to sun themselves and lay their eggs in, which, if counted would go up in the millions, and can be raked up by the bushel, In the win- ter season the terrapins remain imbed- ded in the mud of the ditches, where they stay until spring time, never touching a morsel of food. A system of sluices enables Mr. Dorlon to keep the ditches full of salt water, or drain them at pleasure, and he is not at all dependent on the tide for that pur- pose. The number of terrapins on the farm, as far as can be ascertained by the closet calculation, is between 20,000 and 25,000,and in the course of thenext three or four years will be something hard to calculate. About May 1, Mr Dorlon makes his purchase of terrapins from the people on the Mississippi sound, and takes all he can secure at $3 a dozen,and that generally averages about 8,000 a vear added to his farm, outside of those bred therein. The inhabitants of Mississippi and Ala- bama hunt the terrapins with dogs trained for that purpose. The dog barks when he finds one, and the hunter immediately secures it by ‘go- ing to the spot where the dog points, “The cost of feeding the terrapins, which, as we have said, is only done in the summer, is about one dollar per tlozen fur the season, and the price er dozen in Nev York has varied from $18 to $8. ‘che food, which consists of crabs and fish, is caught with a seine, in front of the farm, and really very little expense is at- tached to the raising of these valuable land tortoises. Mr. Dorlon begins to ship about Occtober 1, and then on to May 10. He generally sends his to Savannah by rail, and thence to New York by steomer, averaging abent 12,000 a season, and had it not been for a disastrous hurrican, which some time ago washed out Mr. Dorlon’s farm, it would be to day the greatest terrapin farm in the world. He can always ship all he can get, for there is a ready market for these delicacies. __ a A Pennsylvania Boy. Nearly forty years ago, in South Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland conoty, Pa., sars the Pittsburg Tele- graph, lived Joho Hinton. He was an orphan boy, rude and uneducated, and had wandered there from the neighborhood of Masontown, Fayctte county. With no known relatives, he was kicked from one family to another till manhood. Enlisting then in the war. At its close he helped to escort the Cherokees beyond the Mississippi. From Indian Territory he went to New Orleans and shipped as a com- mon sailor on a vessel bound for the East Indies. At the bay of Madras, on the western shores ef the Bay of Bengal, he deserted, and enlisted in a British regiment. He served many years, and during the memorable Sc- poy Rebellion was noted for his dar- ing bravery. At his discharge he was presented with a gold medal Ly the Governor General himself. Ile is next heard of traveling ina caravan from Delhi, westward across the Indus River, through Afganistan and Persia, to Tyrkey and back. In time, from trading, he became immensely wealthy, and was the own- ee er of fiye caravans containing over 13,0 6 horses and camels and fifty ele- phants. In 1854 he visited Cabul, the capi- tal of Afghanistan, for copper, great quantites of which are there mined and smelted, ue attracted the attentionof the Ameer, and he was invited to an audience— an honor never before received by a Christian. A present of a hundred of his best horses and a three tusked elephant made the Ameer his eternal When, yearly it was followed His magnificent retiu- friend. by similar presents, besides camels and merchandise, Johu Hinton has the monopoly of trade from the summit of the Hindoo Kosh Mountains to the confines of Beloochistan, and in real power second only to the Ameer hin- self. About 1870 he was made Mil- itary Commander of the District of Herat, and in 1876 suppressed a local rebellion to the great satisfaction of his sovereign. ‘Trained in the arts of war among the savages of North America, and among the superstitious natives of India, where he became thoroughly familiar with British sol- diers and resources, together with his years of service as the idolized com- mander of the Mohammedan tribes of tens of thousands of half-civilized men, he is today the ablest soldier in Asia. ++ pe Diamonds in Mecklenburg.

Carolina has Besides many new and interesting items of geueral information it gives some facta about our own section which are interesting, Itis gathered that tke number of mineral species now known to have been discovered in this State is 178, an inerease of 38, or more than 25 percent. since 1875, when only 140 could be enumerated. This is stated to bea greater number than has been discovered in any other State; and if there had been means to make a complete investigation ot all the materials in hand, the num- ber would probably fall little short of 200. A pumber of the new minerals were discovered by Mr. W. E. Hid- den, of New York, who it will be remembered yisited this city at differ- ent times last year, in his search for platinum for Edison’s electric light. It was during ‘thi- search that the discoveries were made, and his report of them, which is embtaced in the work, he says: “In regard to the suc- cess of my search for platinum, | will state that at the many places where I operated, I did not succeed in finding any traces of its existence. The five reported localities in this State were carefully examined with- out success,” Among the general list of native minerals mentioned as having bees foe , < repeatedly found in various localities in the State. A very beantiful speci- men was found in Todd’s branch, in this county, in the summer of 1852.

The author says» “Dr. Andrews informed me thata very beautiful diamond, of consi lerablesize, likea small chinquepin, and of a black color, had been foand at the same locality by three persons, while washing for gold, Iu their ignorance believing that it could not be broken, they swaslied it to pieces. Drs An drews tested the hardness of a frag- ment, and it seratehed corundum with facility, proving it to be a diamond.” About 30 varieties of minerals are in this mentioned as being found coupty.—Charlutte Obserrer. ee The Honey Ant. The honey ant makes its store-ves- sels from the budies of workers. First it bites the end of the abdomen, there- by setting up an inflamation, which closes the apertues of the body. Then it feeds the maimed creature with honey, pouring it into the mouth of the living heney-pot, just as the bee pours honey into its crop. The pro- cess is continually repeated until the body of the store-ant is extended to an astonishing size with honey, the skin being stretched to such an ex- tent that it is safficientiy transparent to show the honey within, It cannot for body the limbs are not. escape, its is so lpavy that carry it, and so it remains in the nest sudicient to until the honey is wanted.

It is all practice anyway, and 1 believe that a fifly-year-old doctor is more reliable than one forty-five years old.” “Yes,” said Bilkins, but after they pass fifty it doesn’t make much differ- ence.” “Yes, it does, A fifty-five-year- old doctor is 1aturally more reliable than one fifty years old.” “Now, here,” said Bilkins, “you say that just because I am fifty and you are about fifty-five—” “No, I didn’t think of the difference in our agcs. However, in our case it is different.” “Don’t try to crawl out of it, doc tor, for you meant it as an insinuation. You can’t pull wool over my eyes, for I can doctor the life out of you any time.” “No doubt of it. Let’s go to sleep.” “Sleep, the duce,” said Bilkins, turving over. “Stir a man up and then tell him to go to sleep! I want you to understand that I stand higher as a:physician than you do.” “No use to talk that way when you know that I can doctor the socks off yeu?” “That’s the trouble. You can doc- tor the socks off anybody. I suppose you are not aware that Busley tells it all around the neigborhood that yon killed his wife.” “See here,” snarled Snort, “you are getting too infernal insolent for an old man. I never intended to say anything about it, but I know one thing concerning your medical career that is a blot on the profession. You poisoned Glasons child out of pure ignorance.” “You are a rheumatic old liar,” ex- claimed Bilkins, sprivging up. “You are a wheezing old scoundrel.” “You old carrion crow,” yelled Snort, “I wouldn’t take that from my father.” “Take your bands off. Vl puneh the life out of you. Take that,” howl- ed Bilkins, as he struck the wall with his fist. Then they grappled and began a mouth-to-mouth engagement. They roijed ont of bed, get up, braced, grappled and fell again. Finally the night porter broke open the door, rushed iv and lit the gas. Dr. Snort stood in one corner of the room, hold- ing achair, Dr. Bilkins stood on the bed with a boot in his hand. “Drive that madman out,” exclaim- ed Snort. “Ife has been trying to murder me.” iy “He is an old jiar,’ vociferated Bilkins ; “he tried to poisoned me. Shoot him. Call the police and let them kill hin.” Several cu, disturbed by the noise, entered the*roum, aud the two old friends were compelled to occupy dif- fereut apartmeuts.

[Great applause, Killing his Daughter Because she did not Split as Many ftails as he Did. ATLANTA, March 4.—In Jackson county yesterday, Jesse Cook, accem- panied by his 14 year old daughter, went into the woods to split rails..— +s Cook told his daughter that if she did not split as many rails as he did in the day’s work he would kill her. After a hard day’s work the daughter ascertained that she had not split quite as many rails as her futher. Fearing the unmerciful punishment to. which. » she had frequently been subjected, she did not go home. hunted Ler up and flailed her so un- mercifully with a rail that she died soon afterward. Covk attempted to escape, but was placed in jail. oo or A Hey’s “Broop” or Dogs.—A friend of mine has a female grey hound and litter of young ones. Now that is nothing extrordinary, but that she should be assieted in her maternal du- ties by an old hen is, I think, a very unusual thing. In the kennel with her is a hen, which has taken to the dogs in a most affectionate way, sitting in the corner with two or three of them constantly under her wing; and what is still more extraordinary they know her call, for if they stay away she cackles and they come back. At present her adepted children sre young; whether she is only to take them for the month nobody knows, but I fear when they are old enough tv accompany her about the fields she will find it difficult to make them partake of the delicacies she may be able to scratch out of the earth for them, which weuld no doubt be much appreciated by her own young. At all events, the case is a curious one. >>> Hay For Hoos.—We publish the follow- ing from an exchange: “Very few are aware of the fact that hay is exceedingly beneficial to hogs; but it is true, neve: the— less. Hogs need rough food as well as horses, cattle or the human race To prepare it, you have acutting-box, or hay-cutter, and the greener the hay the better. Cut the hay fine, and mix with bran, shorts or middling, and feed as otlLer food. Hogs soon learn to like it, and if soaked in swill or ether slop feed, it is highly relished by them. In win- ter, use for hogs the same hay you feed to your herses, and you will tind that, while it saves bran, shorts or other food, it puts on flesh as rapidly as anything that can be giv- en them.” a ’ Mr. F.

Interviews With a number of leading men of beth political parties, develops the fact that there isa wide difference of opinion touch- ing the probability of a eall for an extra sessicn of Congress, bat the. weight of opinion is on the side of the extra session. Stalwart Republicans generally think that it shoald be called, aud Democrats believe mcr, that their opponeuts will improve their epportunity. The date generally fixed upon for the extra session is May 1, though there are inany who favor a later date, about 15th of the mouth would sait all concerned better, and think ihe same and sive wmple time for the passage of a funding bil, and the transaction of all hecessary business before the summer solstice, Quite a crowd was present to witness the organization of the Senate to-day, al- though no election for otticers of the body will take place until next Monday.

A number of gentlemen have been men- tioned for the place, but probably all will be disappointed, for the disposition now seems to be to confirm all the nomina- tions sent in and adjeurn as soun as posi- ble.

Washington Repbulican. A roving representative of the Re- publican happened last night to fall in with the Hon. William A. Smith, of the Raleigh (North Carolina) dis- trict, and found him a very entertain- ing and intelligent gentleman. The conversation naturally turned up- on the late dramatic scene in the Senate, and Gen. Mahone’s present position and its effects upon the future | politics of the South were freely dis- cussed by-the-gertial North Carotini- an, : “Whiat effect,” asked’ the Republi- can, “will Mahone’s movement have on the Rourbon clement in Southern polities? Will there be a break ?” “T can’t speak for the Bourbons of of other Soathern States, but fer those of North Carolina I can say that the only effect will be to intensify their hatred for Mahone and all of those who chose to think and act as he has done. He is like the fool of whom Sulomon speaks, who, even though brayed in a mortar, would be none the less a fool. Give the Bourbon of North Carolina all of the offices, and permit him to dispense the patronage of the general government, and he will be one of the nicest and pleasant- est persons in the world; but he will not show any sign of gratitude. He accepts this as his right —the inherit- ed right to rule.” “Es there a Democrat in North Car- olina who could carry the State as Mahone carried Virginia—that is, by avowing himself a Liberal, or in other words, an enemy of Bourbonism ?” “There is only one.” “Who is he?” “Senator Matt Ransom.” “Why do you think Ransom could do this?” “Beeause he is so well beloved all enough Democrats to carry the State for any ticket that he might head. But we den’t need such a man. We’ve got Republicans enough to carry the Old North State, without winking or blinking—plain, honest, stalwart Re- publicans—Garfield, Blaine, Grant, and Conkling men, who, if properly encouraged and given aclear field and a fair fight, will make North Carolina as reliable a Republican State as any of those which cast their electoral votes for Garfield and Arthur.” “What do you mean by encourage- ment ?” “To giye every office from the low- est to the highest to Republicans alone, and to give to North Carolina her full share of the patronage of the Govern- ment.” “ffasn’t this been the policy of the adaiinistrations which have gone be- fore?” “No, sir; not all of them. Mr. Hayes’ Southern policy disorganized us as a party in North Carolina. Had it not been for this policy we would have carried the State for Garfield. By adopting a policy which showed that he thought we were not as good as Democrats he discouraged the Re- publicans and caused many of them to desert the camp. They couldn’t see any use of fighting when their po- litical enemies were sure to be reward- ed with the honors and spoils in any event.” “ITow do you like the policy of the present administration, as far as it has developed 2?” “We haven’t seen enough of it to judge, but we have every reason to believe that it will be a stalwart, straightforward one, and all that we desire.” “Do you, as a Southern Republican, think Mahone ought to be encourag- ed by the administration ?” “T certainly do. He has had a hard fight in the past, and he will have a harder one in the future; and there- fore it should be the policy of all friends of freedom and fair play to hold up his hands, and in every legit- imate way give him and the true men who back him all of the moral and material stipport that they can com- mand.” ; ; “How are Republicans treated in North Carolina? Any social ostrcism or bull-dozing ?” “None atall now: There are 60,- 000 white Republicans in the State, over the State that he could carry off; and they are the equals of the Demo- crats in wealth, intelligence, and so- cial standing. So you see, as a mat- ter of policy alone, they treat us well.” “How do they treat the black Re- publicans ?” “The better class of white people treat them as they are treated any- where, and the Democrats have been particularly sweet on them lately, -their evident intention being to fill the Democratic ranks, which have been depleted by white deserters, with black recruits, Tliey love the darkey when he votes with them ; otherwise not.” : : I Russia’s Dead Emperor. s The Pomp and Pegeant Attendant on the Translation of His Remains, Lonxvon, March 21.—All accounts from St. Petersburg agree in describ- in the grandeur and solemnity of the ceremony of the remeval of the Czar’s remains from the Imperial Chapel, in the Winter Palace, to the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, in the sombre fortress, so called on the left bank of the Neva, the last resting place of the Romanoffs—a scene which only the capital of the Czar’s dominions could furnish. There is but one Neya, with its magnificent quays-—but one city in which people of so many nationalities, So many costumes, varied and pictu- resque, live side by side. The sun shone with extraordinary brillianey. The streets were a sca of melting snow. The houses were draped in mouning. The mournful pageant took two hours to pass a given point. A MOST PATHETIC PAGEANT, Goorge Augustus Sala telegraphs as follows: “I have just been a spec- tator of one of the most magnificent, most impressive, most pathetic pa- geants on which, in the course ofa lengthened career, accustomed to the pomps and vanities of royalty, from royal bridals and feasts to royal fu- nerals, I have ever been privileged to set eyes on. Three cannon fired from the fortress directed the various inourners to get ready to take their places, THE SIGNAL TO START. “A similar salvo about midday gave the signal to start. When the sable standard, bearing in white the initials of the murdered monarch, was unfurl- ed over the fortress, the artillery be- gan to fire minute guns and all the bells in the city began tu toll. The whole route was lined by troops of the gurrisson, immediately hehind whom the public were permitted to stand. No galleries or platforms were erected, as the house-holders were only allow- ed at personal risk and peril to let windows or balconies to strangers, “The police had taken exceptional measures to preserve order, in’ the maintenance of which the public, by handbills, were inyited to co-operate. All the houses and public buildings, too, showed the same amount of sable flags and drapery as when the Em- press, not a year ago, was similarly conveyed from the palace to the for- tress. THE LINE OF MARCH. “The route taken was from the great plain in front of the Winter Palace, by the Admiralty Quay and the English Quay ty Nicholaivsky Bridge crossing which the procession entered the street on the tine of the Island of Vassile Ortroff, acruss the Tootchkoff Bridge and by the Alexander Park to the fortress, entering the gate called ‘Ivaneskaia.’ At the funeral ceremo- nies of the Empress, last summer, the route taken was by the Trinity Bridge, a wooden structure of barges, which is removed at the approach of ice, al- though 4oadways across the frozen Neva are much used. The fortress is almost immediately opposite the Winter Palace. There is a su- perstition among the Russians gainst transporting the dead over frozen riv- ers, and the reute by which the cor- tege passed was some four miles in length. The procession consisted in all of thirteen sections, comprising 172 groups, to describe which would occupy many columns,” ee ea Such is prejudice of taste that the affections are often devoted even be- fore we sce the favored object, when the intimacy is frequently insufficient to lay aside an yndefinable antipa- FOOD FOR THOUGHT, A. judicious silence is better than * truth spoken without charity, For-most men, an ignorant enjoy- ment is better than an informed one, - Ceremonies differ in every country; but true politeness is ever the same, .

Fhe Richmond gud ‘Danville Railroad Cempany has leased the Charlotte and Atlanta Railroad, and has thas secnred & trunk line reaching from Richmond, Va., to Atlanta, Ga. The Baltimore and Ohio Company were scheming to effect a lease of the Air Line, but the Richmond and Danville has goue off with the prize in the face of their competitors. Thig ar- rangement jt is thonght, will couk the Midland scheme via Mocksville to Moorea- ville. And it saws off the Charlotte and Statesville road at both ends, restricting it to simply a local business; for it must be remembered that the Richmond ‘and Danville Co. now own the Western N. C, Railroad also. It ia a recast of Railroad interests in North Carolina which .it is thought will benefit all except, perhaps, the Charlotte and Wilmington road. It will probably block some enterprises hereafter poujemplated; but on the whole the business ney of this place are pleased with the transfer, and look forward with increased confidence to the speedy com- pletion of the Western N. C. Railroad to the Tennessee line at Paint “Rock, and the realization of benefits from a connec- tion with the roads stretching westward by that route. ‘There is a project now on land by the North State Mining Cempany to runa road from this or some other point on the Western N. C. Road via. Wilkesboro to Jefferson. If it starts from this point jt will go by Mocksville. It i is an enterprise which holds ont strong inducements to the Richmond and Danville Comp: any to encourage in the most substantial way, as it will traverse a region rich in agri- cultural, mineral and timber products, and contribute as much or more fr eight to. the trunk lines than the Western.

The revenne law, recently adopted by the Legislature, levies a tax of 23 cents for general State purposes on the $100 value of real and persoual property, and 124 cents on $100 value for school pur- poses—making 404 cents levied by the State for 13881. Last year the tax was 24 cents for general State purposes and 84 cents for scheol purposes—making 32} cents on the $100 value. The increase this year is 8 I-6 cents. The State tax on the poll for 1881, is as follows: Fer general State purposes 84 cents, and for school purposes 374 cents —making $1.21} 0n the poll. Last year the poll tax for State purposes was 72 cts. and for schools 25 cents—making 97 cents. Increase this year 24} cents on the poll, To the above State tax is to added the {county tax, not yet levied. ine Mrs. Josephiue Caire, of Poughkeepsie, N, Y., in a suit for damages, last Monday, against one Frank Gassner, saloon keeper, for selling liquor to her husband after be- ing warned not to do it, was given a ver- dict for $525. Cnire had got drunk at Gassner’s bar and went home and beat his wife—a very common ineident in this ‘Hand of the free.” But-was it nota sensible jury that made Gassuer settle for that beating ? It appeals to common sense, common justice and common right- ousness. Every man who sells intoxi- cating liquers aught to be held responsi- ble for immegiate consequences, as in this case. If Caire had killed his wife, then both he and Gassner would have been guilty of 2 eapital felony. ripe re There is great activity in railrood mat-, ters just new,—new schemes and combi- nations are the order of the times. It stands us in hand, asa cemmunity, to be wide awake and ready to act promptly when an opportunity shall oceur by which we may advance our interests. Our town and county are free of debt ; ovr individ- nal indebteduess is small, ova we have bright hopes of a prosperous fatare. There ig no county in the State, perhaps, ina ‘better position to take advautage of good epportunities for the prometion of ite welfare than Rowan. ee The great concernment displayed by the-Charlotte Observer over the lease of the ‘Air Line” to the Richmond and Dan- ville Railroad Company seems to indicate that the popular opinion of the effect likely to follow is, to send Charlotte “ap the spout.” We don't believe a word of it. If the new proprietors’ shall arrange an equitable freight tariff, not discrim- inating either for or against its customers along the line, as we trust they will do, there can be no just cause of complaint from any quarter. All written matter heretofore passing. through the mails will hereafter be sub- ject to first class or letter rates. Jim Hasaip > vs. Hea’ ~The Raleigh! News talks “concernedly in opposition to the removal of W. W- Holden 86 post-| master, to make room for Jim Harris, the colored jeader of the repulican party of that city. We are glad to learn that a special agent sent to investigate the sub- ject will probably report against making the change. It is believed an arrange- ment has, however, been made to appease the colored supporters of the republi- gan party in the South, by distributing to a few of their leading men some good fat offices, and thus quiet their clamor for a part iv ths goverument. That they hold ap influential position in the republican ‘party ‘must be admitted, and it is about time the party agate duly recognize the fact, and this they will probably do, however distasteful it may be to the white people. nen eee ere Newsern.—The Newbernian speaks in high hopes of the future of the city, and notes s¢vera} important facis in support of {ts qpinign.

THE BULLION GOLD MINE. This mine lies seven miles southeast of Salisbury, and is owned by the Ballion Gold Mining Co., and is operated under a North: Carolina Charter. Jesiah Cope, President,’ and E. H. Cope Superintendent. It will be remembered that during last May, a fire (most likely the work of an in- cendiary) destroyed the mill heuse, (40 x 80,) ten stamp mills, and sll the machinery, which has greatly retarded work at this mine. At present they are only working about twenty hands, which are mainly em- ployed in erecting a new mill house; in which they have a new ten stamp mill, and & new thirty-five horse engine and beiler. This mill house is within fifty feet of the main shatt, and tie intervening space is oc- cupied by an ore breaker. The main shaft is 100 feet deep, and from ita powerful eight inch “cornish” pump lifts abaut ten theusand gallons of water per hour. A thirty-five horse engine and boiler runs this pump. There are six other shaftson the vein, varying from 33 to 55 feet in depth. From the main shaft a large number of levels have been run, at different depths for the purpose of testing. , The vein is what niiners call a “fissure” vein, and are always considered reliable. This one varies in width froin 6 inches to 15 feet and its ores are valued at from ten to thirty dollars per ton. This mine shows a great variety of ores, especially in the way of colors; all shades from black to white; yellow, red, brown and gray, and flesh colored quartz Brown ores and quartz, carrying more er lesg sul- phurets, predominate. There are also found, deposits of white decomposed tale, “shot” with streaks of white honey combed quartz. This decom- posed mass carries a great deal of free gold —a “pan” showing a long rich point. Some little magnetic iron ore is scattered over the place. Most of the time since the fire has been ‘idly traiued children.

For some days we have noticed 12 able-bodied 'negroes, with picks and shovels, under 'the direetion of Mr. Jason Hunt, level- ing the streets where they were cut up during the late winter and dried out by the winds and sunshine of Mareh. These men take their time in digging down the rough hillocks and 1idges and shoveling the loose dirtinte ths ruts. It is a tedions process, and the work when done is of very temporary bot to say questionable value; and the roads really look but little better than before they were struck. We advert to it at present to raise this question, to wit: Is there no cheaper and speedier method of doing this work of road leveling? Surely, in these days of machinery, there must be something bet- ter. We have ceen illustrations of what is called a Road Scraper for this very purpose, drawn by horses or oxen, which is said todothe work of many hands in less time and do it better. We respectfully suggest that the Commis- sioners appoint a Committee at their next meeting to inquire jnto the subject and seport. ‘iron, POs employed in running levels, and prospecting the mine, They will now begin taking out ores and will be milling in about ten days. Some five or six hundred tons of ere is on the dunp. Delays in freight have retard. ed then sone since January. Mr. Cope is anxious to bezin milling ag the prospects for profit are very flattering. ——- ome Harris Iron Mine. This property lics 16 miles north of Salis- bury, in Davie county. Messrs.

Serap- ing away the dirt, elyhteen er twenty inches down, the mica assumes the forin of a vein, and is taken off in large flakes or sheets. Prysmatic crystalline quartz is found in abundance on this and adjoining properties. With proper developement, the “Harris Mine” could be made of su‘ficient impor- tance to induce the erection of machinery, and the prospect of a railroad from Si itis- bury to Mocksville, also enhances its value. Specimens of the iron and mica may be | seen at this office. _____——em-0-<3>-o-<e = THE NEW MINERAL. The Statesville Landmark publishes a correspondence which deprives Prof, Hid- den of the honor conferred on him by the naming of the new mineral lately found in Alexander county, N.C. pondence referred to says: “The green mineral referred to in the Observer, is a variety of sapodumene and was not discovered a few months ago by Prof. Hidden, but was discovered about tive years ago by our townsman, J.

The greafest bar to the success of ratifi- cation, in their judgment, will be the.free use of liquor previous te the day of election. The Legislature has made it discretionary with the county commissioners td license er not, all applicants. We appeal to you, gentlemen, to post pone your giving of licenses until after the elec- tion in August, se that a fair and sober elec- tion may be held. If it is desirable, because for the good of the people, that the prohib- itery law should be ratified, then it would secm that all lawful measures should be used to bring about such a result. We respectfully suggest to the county commissioners throughout the State the priv- ilege and responsibility place upon them by the Legislature, ef license or no license to liquor-sellers in the respective counties. The law says, “which erders they may grant or refuse at their option.” The circular is signed by Rev. Thomas Skinner, chairman of the executive commit- tee of the State Prohibition Association. In the granting of liquor privileges heretofore, when any applicant complied with the law, the county commissioners could not refuse te grant the license applied for; but under the new law the matter is discretionary with the county commissioners, and Mr. Skinner’s appeal is made directly to that tribunal.— Char.

THE LEADING COTTON FERTILIZER. —_—_—_ By reference to the reports fur the past several years made by the North Caroli- pa Experiment Station, it will be scen that Soluble Pacific Guano (tested by the commercial value) has held the highest rank among the forty or fifty different brands of commercial fertilizers offered for sale in the State. This is a splendid, but not undeserved, tribate to the Paefle Guano Company, which for sixteen years has manufactared an article aniversally admitted to be an- surpassed in its remarkabte effects upon the growth of the great Southern staple. Indeed, so well known is Soluble Pacific Gaano, that we have almost ceased to issue circulars except fer distribution in the more remote districts and in those recentl; opened to Railroad transportation. é Although we have thousands of testimonials as to the valne of Solable Pacific Gu- ano, we will only publish below a few from some of the leading farmers of this anc adjoining counties, which will serve to stimulate aes amoug those who have nut used it, and will result in securing favorable personal testimony from its old patroue to those who are desireas of learuing its resalts in the past, which results, combin- ed with the solid reputation of the Pacific Gaano Company, are a sufficient guarau- tee that the standard will be stricly maintained in the fature.

The talk at two interviews just had with him, and reported in the New York Herald, related chiefly to his own State, its growth in trade and population, its canals and railroads, and the local con- tentions over them, Mr. Seymour is no pessimist; he believes in the vitality of Republica institutions and in the con- servatiam of our ferm of government. In the fears expressed by merchants of New York of the loss of trade through the ac- tive competition of rival cities he does not share, nor does such comptition in- spire him with any jealousy. He looks beyoud the present to the still’ grander fiture of this country, and he sees and tells his interlocuter that although other cities may share in the prosperity, New York has no reason to despond. There is room ¢nough and trade enough and commerce enough for all. We are but at the*beginning, as it were, of what we are destined to become. Year by year as the country fills up and fresh industrial forces are brought into the field of labor, the traffic of the railroads, canals and water ways will increase, and the imter-State and international commerce expand. He thinks but lightly of the apprehensions expressed in the New York Legislature and by shippers of the probable diversion of the grain trade of New York to New Orleaus by the channel of the Mississippi. He regards as far more dangerous the im- pending compeci ion by way of the St. Lav rence after the enlargement of the Canadian ecauals. “Doubtless,” he says, “srein can be carried to New Orleans down the Mississippi on barges towed by steamboats cheaper than it can be con veyed to New York in any manner. But when it has got to New Orleans it may be where it is not wanted. Its distribu- tion from New Orleans depends upon the foreign dewaud for it which may vary from year to year.” New York, there- fore, is the better market, and the same may be said of Baltimore, because if can command freight both ways. But the point on which he laid the greatest stress was the expanaion of our internal com- merce. On this head he remarked ; “Let us remember always that, however much it expands, the natural channels for it cannot multiply in proportion. There are but three such chanuels from the sea- board into the heart of the West, Those are the Mississippi, the St. Lawrence and the Hudson.” Outside of these it follows naturally that our internal commerce must be carried along the lines of our great railways. These are not built fora day, or fora term of years, but for all time. Their future and the growth of the cities of which they are the termini are therefore assured beyond all peradven- ture. a Bacon.—Ham and lean bacon, which is usually hard and tough, may be cooked 80 as to be perfectly tender and without waste of fat, by not allowing the water to boil.

His first pair of ists, : tion, a Frenchman who was an adept at their manufacture, exhibited a row of Jarge real imitation pearls alter- nately ; and without close inspection, we are assured it would have been impossible even fora judge to have selected the real from the unreal. Some translations frem_ French and German works on this manufacture have recently been communicated to Land and Water, and from these it appears that the art of making imita- tion pearls is ascribed to one Jacquin, a chaplet and rosary manufacturer at Passy, who lived about 1680. Noti- cing thatthe water after cleaning seme white-fish (Leuciscus alburnus), a species of dace, was of silvery ap- pearance, he gradually collected the sediment, and with this substance— te which he gave the name of essence @orient—and with a thin glue made of parchment, he lined the glass beads of which he framed his rosaries, and afterwards filled them with wax. The methad ef making the round bead is by beating one end, which has. first been clesed, ef a glass tube which then, when blown into two or three times, expands into a glebular form. The workman then separates the bead, places the end which has been heeted on a wire, and heats the other end. This process is called bor- dering or enging. The best pearls are made in the same way, the holes of tke tube being gradually reduced by heat tothe sizeof those of the real pearls, the workman taking each bead on inserted wire, and, by con- tinually turning them = round in the flame of the lamp used, they become so true as te be strung as even as the Oriental pearls. The process df color- ing the pearl is commenced by lining the interior of the ball with a deli- cate layer of limpid and colorless parchment glue; and before it is quite dry, the essence of orient is in- treduced by means of a slender glass blow: pipe. It is then allowed to dry ; the pearl is filled with wax, and if in- tended fur a necklace, is pierced through the wax with a red het needle. The essence of orient, as it is called, isthe chief ingredient in the manu- facture of the pearl. It is a very valusble substance, and is obtained from the fish abovesnamed by rub- bing them rather roughly in a basin of pure water, so as to remove the scales; the whole is then strained through a linen cloth, and left for several days to settle, when the water is drawn off. The sediment forms the essence referred to. It requires from seventeen to eighteen thousand fish to obtain a pound of this substance! Besides the French imitation pearls, as those above described arc called, The new glass wick for petroleum and spirit lamps has been experiment- ed with very carefully, according to the Technisches Organ fur Gewerbe und Haushaulsung, and with highly favor- able results. The flame clings close- ly to the wick, so that lighted lamps may be carried about without fear of their being extinguished by sudden draughts, nor are any sparks libera- ted from it. With anequal amount ofthe wick turned up, a much bright- er hnd clearer light is obtained than with cotton ones. The smoke is re- duced, at least ten per cent. of oil is saved: there is scarcely any waste of the vick itself, and, as no portion is carboined, the troublesome trimming and cutting to whieh ordinary lamp burners are accustomed are useless.

One of them produced and read to Wells what purported to be a warrant for his arrest, and took hold of him to take him te the lock-up. Getting out into the street, one of the company rushed up and seized the lad who had Wells in custody, de- claring ho should not take him to jail. Others whispered to Wells to run, and— whiie the conspiraters were wrangling, or pretending to wrangle, over taking him to the lock-up, Wells broke and run and got away from them. He failed to retura that night to his frieuds, and the uext day was found some distance from the town, frozen to death.

Inthe face of a record of this sort it is surprising to see the Republican party in the United States Senate backing up Senator Mahone, and putting Mr. Riddleberger, one of the principal advocates of Readjustment in Vir- ginia, on their ticket for Sergeant at Arms. Senator Johnson, of Virginia, on the 25th put the issue squarely when he demonstra- ted that the placing of Mr. Riddleberger high in official position would be in effect the endgrsement of the readjyster pre- gramme.

It is without doubt a bitter pill for the Re- publicans to swallow Mahone, who is an ex-confederate brigadier, a former democrat, a readjuster, and has not professed repent- ance for any ef his heresies. But necessity knows no law, and the Republicans want ta organize the Senate in the interests of their own party. It is nothing but a bargain be- tween them and Mahone.

Its standard and uniformity are guaranteed. 2 * The result of its application to the cotton crop for the past thirteen years has proved it to be equal to any fertilizer ever sold in the United States. During this time thousands of tons of it have been used by the farmers of Virginia and North Carolina, Seuth Care lina, and Georgia with highly satisfactory results.

They also agree jthat itis of the highest importance to the farm all the supplies required for the support of the family aud for the hands and the stock employ- ed. It is not generally safe to set at defiance well settled opinions, though it is true that there are exceptions to every rule. A failure of the cotton crop, er over-production and consequently low rates, would fall very heavily on those who lave risked all on cotton alone. —_____~- epee —— THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION, This subject has been much thought of lately, and very properly so. The ques- tiou has often been asked, who is the best man for the Democrats to put in the field for mayor? and whe for commissiou- ers? These are questions, aside from pol- itics, directly interestiug to every citizen of this town; and every one should thor- oughly canvass the subject in his own mind and determine on guod, substantial men, who are competent to take charge of the towa and of its affairs. This, at this time is very important. Our busi- ness is rapidly increasing; the place is growing more important as a market, and our railroad prospects are bright- teviag, and the people are looking forward to more important and advagtageous railroad connections. With these advan- tages crowding upon us, it behooves eve- ry man, who has any interest in the place, to assist in selecting and electing the hest available men to fill the most important town offices. A SUGGESTION. Several gentlemen who have given this subject some thought, suggest that each ward hold a meeting, and express their choice fur mayor, and for the commission- ers of their wards, and let these ward meetings appoint a committee to express their choice. These committees, after being instructed by the several wards shal] meet and constitute a central committee, which shall, after consultation, announce the ticket, as directed by the wards. This plan does away with the odious mass conventions, and will give a free expres- sion of the people’s wishes. The name of Mr. Moses L. Holmes has been frequently mentioned in connection with the mayoralty, and we consjder him the most available man, and cordially suggest that the wards consider his nom- ination. ————'—@9.-—>-——— DEFEAT OF PROAIBITION.—Beston, April 1.—The House of Representatives of this State yesterday struck out of the prohibi- tory bill the section referring it to the peo- ether may has left the country. i ple, and then defeated the bill itself, And, of pecting. They ‘finally settled on’ two shafts, one‘on either of two hills, which are separated by a branch. These two shafts are known as shafts No’s. t and 2. Shaft No. 1 is down one hundred and ten feet, and from it they are now hoiating between fifteen aud twenty tons of ore per day. In this shaft, sixty feet from the surface, a level has been driven two hundred feet on the “wind shaft,” and from.that, one hundred aad eighty feet toward shaft No.2. One handred feet from the surface, they are ruaning a sec- ond tunnel toward the ‘‘wind shaft” iu No. 2. No. 2 is down one hundred and twelve feet, and will be sunk ove hundred feet deeper, from which stoping will be carri- same inapner. The vein on this property is the same as the “Bullton;” deseribed in last paper; in fact itis a confinuation of the sane vein, 4 fissure which extends for miles; and is between four and five feet wide, where they are working. The ore is val- ued at $20 dollars per ton, on the aver- age—some running higher, especially where the vein is ‘‘piuched.” The general formation at 109 feet, is a blue slate; while the “binding” of the vein is talcose slates. At each of the workiug shafts, they havea steam hoist and a Cornish pum» of ample strength and capacity to meet the demands ef the work—aud each is supplied with a twenty-five horse onzine and boiler. It may be remembered that this proper- ty was worked before the war witha Chillian mill, aad that it was a profitable mine then. It lay idle until last Angust, when Mr. Bagley, the Superintendent, took charge. He says that the mine has been a paying one, and that its resources are only beginning to show. It was grat- ifying to learn that the company contem- plate erécting reduction works on this property also, as the result, as far as tested, of the process (at the Yadkin mine) has proved satisfactory. The ores at present are being conveyed to the Chlo- rination Works of the company at the Yadkin Mine. Mr. Bagley is proud of the Reimer, and says that it is as good a mine as will be found in this sectien. —— RITCHIE GOLD MINE SOLD. Creditable information has been given us ef the sale of this valuable property, lying seven miles south-west of Salisbury. It was owned by Messrs. S. R. Harrisou and S. E. Liutean, and was bought by par- ties iu Bostoi, representing a new min- ing organization lately formed in that eity. They intend to begin work on the property at an early day. Oue of the geutlemen who recently visited the pro- perty is to be the superintendent. ee epee The Raleigh News and Observer, of the 6th, in speaking of Mr. Wm. Brandreth, and the North State Mining Co’s. rail- road, only presents the first idea of their proposed route. The latter and more favorable proposition is to build from this place, via Mocksville and Wilksbro to Jefferson. Steps are being taken to offer such inducements to this point as the North State Mining Co., cannot afford to disregard. Se Oe GoLp Irems.— Mr. Nannie, a farmer in Rutherford county, near the McDowell line, in sinking some pits for the purpose of burying some rocks iu his bottom land, found some gold in the pits, and has since worked very profitably for it, taking out over 700 peuny weights from two rods of ground, . The Vein Meuntain Company cut thro’ three rich veins of ore last week, while digging their water ditch. Mr. Gaden, the superiutendent, informs us that the prospects for large returns from this mine brighten every week. Mr. A. A. Smith, one of the proprietors, is expected down ina few weeks, about which time the company will be ready to commence op- eratious.— Lamp Post. COUNTY COMMESSIONERS’ MEETING.

The question was, would it be proper to license these shops in the face of the near approach of the election to held in August next, when the people will vote for or against prohibi- tion, The present law forbids the grant- ing of license far a shorter period than twelve months; hence the ditfieulty with the Board is in uot knowing the will of the people on this question ; aud upon this point it waa argued that it would not be safe to grantticeuse in thie fuce of the fact that if granted now, it would give the liquor vender the right tosell in spite of the voice ef the people, if declared in eppo- sition to license, and on ‘motion the ap- plications were laid over till the next regular meeting. A number of county claiuis were pass- ed, and the Board adjourned. REO. SOS OSE OP PES LOTR SS MARRIED. Ou the 3rd inst., near Dry’s Mills, by Rev. W. Kimball, Mr. A. 8. Lentz and Margaret I. Dry.

For some years my father Jived in an old hall in the neighborhood of a large town, and there I saw the ins) fluence of music upon many animals. | There was a beautiful horse, the pride and delight of us all; and like many others he disliked being caught. One het summer’s day, I was sit-| ting at work in the garden, when old Willy, the gardner appeared, stream- ing with perspiration. ‘What is the matter, Willy ?” ‘Matter enough, Miss. There’s that Robert, the uncanny beast he won't be canght, all I ean do or say.

Well, ubout a week after that I went to the Senate cloak-room one day, and there was Ranson walking up and down like a disturbed ghost. There was a notably nervous twitch at his mustache, and a_ peculiarly perturbed clutch at the coat-tail, and I knew he was in trouble of some kind. So I said, ‘What’s the matter, Ransom ? Ain’t you well ?’ “No Lain’t Vest. You know I neveram. Can’t hardly find energy enongh to transact my public du- ties.” “Nothing worse then than the chronic ailment ? “Yes there is.

It is no stretch of facts, says Don Piatt, to set down Senater Vest, of Missouri, as the best story-teller and mimic in either branch ef Congress. He was telling yesterday, in his own inimitable way, about an interview he had with Senator Ransom. They were taking breakfast together not long ago, or rather, waiting patient till John Chamberlain’s warmed the terrapin over from din- ner. ‘I was mad asthe devil,’ said Vest, ‘and displayed my feelings so well that Ransom wanted oven had to know what was the matter. ‘Matter!’ said J, just Jook at this!’ and I pulled out of my pocket the copy of a coun- try sheet iu imy district: which con- tained a mean, spiteful attack. “Mat.” I observed, with the proper amount of warmth, ‘what relief have we fel- lows got from this sort of thing? lTow can we get redress?

The building, which was covered by insurance, was an old landmark, hav- ing been the homestead or family seat of the Burgwyn family.

Brandreth’s Pills assist nature in all her efforts, tis nature that cures disease and not medicine. Every othe: conise of treat- ment only throws great obstacles in the way of the constitution.

As for honorable member wus people of Nerth Carolina Lie proceeded to criticise and ridicule the acts of the Re- publican Legislture during the years of 1863 and 1869, instancing the fact among others that that Legislature had purchased eight thousand acres of land for a site for the penitentiary. It had authorized the issue of $22,000,000 of bonds for the pur- pose of constructing railroads, not one of which had been built, and had then yrussed an act repudiating every dollar of debts which it had contracted.

How could they forgive him? What was the object for their supporting him? He (Vance) objected to voting for any man who had a surname before the word Demo- erat. He objected to the manner in which the Republican party had undertaken to foist this candidate upon the Senate, be- cause it was in defiance of the whole plan Riddleberger had been taken up in his sins, unrepentant and of political salvation. unshaven, and had been translated into the heaven of Republicanisin without having tasted [Laughter.] The Senator from Connecticut (Hawley) had stated that this movement was going to ‘break up the salid South.

[Laughter.! Had so great an nndertaking ever been inancurated by such small means?

A long discussion ensued, the North Car- olina Senators answering Kellogg's charges, and denying that the State had repudiated any of its honest obligations.

Caleulating persous generally walk with their hands in their pockets and heads slightly inclined. Modest persous geneaally step softly for fear of being observed. — Timid persous often step off the side walk on meeting another, and always go around a stone instead of stepping over it. Wide-awake persons “toe out,” and have a long swing to their arms, while their hands move about misecellaneously. Careless persous are furever stubbing thair toes. Lazy persons scrape about loosely with their heels, and are first on one side of the side-walk and then on the other. Very strong-minded persons place their toes directly in front of them, and have a kind of stamp movement. Unstable persons walk ‘fast and slow by turns, One idea persons toe in. Cross persons are apt to knoek their knees together. ae CTE a Fodder Corn, Probably among all the new forage plants which have claimed’ the attention of American farmers during the last few years, nothing has yet appeared which for practical value equals what is termed “fodder cormm”—that is, any good variety of sweet or common corn sown thickly in drills (hice feet apart. It is also a good crop with which to cleanse foul or weedy soil, as it will grow thickly enoug to ef- fectually smother even quack grass and Canada thistles.’ The land should be plowed deeply and put in good order.

Then she was silly enough to grieve herselfte death, and of course the baby feli to us. Well, one would have thought that that child’s early experience would have been a warn- ing to her, but it does seem as if what is bred in the bone is tolerably sartin fer to come vut in the flesh.’ Leaving Uncle Jushua and Aunt Rachel to finish their talk over fami- ly matters, let us go back a step or two and see what gave rise to it. A few months before, a genteel looking young man applied to the Toboggan school conmittee for em- ployment as a teacher. The commit- teemen shook their heads at first. Mr. Lean Payne might bea proper person, but then he was a total stranger, and Still, his terms were so moderate that it was decided to take him a quarter on trial. There was a good deal of grumbling ut first. Mr. Payne gave the boys altogether too much play, their par- ents thought. Then he would often take a hand in their sport. He could toss a ball or handle the bat with the best of them, and was not above mar- bles, even. Inall of which many saw a woful want ef dignity. But when it was found that the boys were get- ting along faster in their studies than they had ever done before, the grum- bling abated measuredly, and the fa- thers of Toboggan were less scandal- ized when they caught Mr. Payne in a crowd of naisey urchins, ‘taw’ in a crowd, knocking down with the rest on terms of complete equality, Mr. Payne was a strikingly hand- some man. Ie became quite a favor- ite with the Toboggan belles, and would have excited the ire and jeal- ousy of a host of rural swains bat for the tact with which he avoided eveu the appearance of rivalry. His attentions tothe Toboggan fair were so general in their character, that the most suspicious lover could find nothing to complain of in particular. Besides a poor young school master is no great ‘catch,’ and that considera- tion set a good many minds at ease, In one of his Sunday rambles Mr. | Payne had lost his way, and stepped to ask it of a young lady who came cantering across his path. When she reined up her horse and turned her face to nieet the question, the latter was so struck with admiration that for a moment he forgot to pursue his in- quiries; and when he resumed them it was in a manner so confused that several minutes were consumed in ob- taining the desired information ; after . which the two parted exchanging bows ‘and blushes. This was the first but by no means the last meeting of Leon Payne and Patience Bethell. The young school brought no recommendation. 1 were married, Many were the looks of triumph that Cynthy cast at Patience when they met at church next Sunday. Bat there wasn’t much exnitation in Zekiel’s looks as they wandered from her he had won to her he had lost, He heaved an audible sigh, but that may have been because the ser- mon had affected him. Mr. Payne’s quarter was out, and one morning he called on Uncle Josh- ua and Aunt Rachol and asked their con-ent to a quiet little wedding be- tween their niece and himself. ‘Ef you an’ Patience’s fixed it up,’ said Unele Joshua, ‘it is not much use sayin’ no; but I have no great notion of a gal marrying a schoolmaster. It is a low come down for one as might have her pick of all the fellers in To- boggan.’ Aunt Rachel would have pointed the moral by referring to the sad histo- ry of Patience’s mother but since Zeki- el Sawpells was no longer in the case, both the uncle and the aunt had lost spirit. So the qniet little wedding was suffered to come off with but passive opposition. Uncle Joshua and Aunt Rachel bade their niece and her husband a rather cheertess goodby on their wed- ding morning as they stepped aboard the train for the city. But Patience had a brave as well as a loving heart. She put the fullest trust in the man of her choise, and went, withont ques- tion, to share whatever home he had to offer, how humble it might be. On alighting at their journey’s end Leon led Patience through the crowd to where a handsame carriage was in waiting. A coachman steod at the open door, and before Patience had time to chide her husbands extra- vance he had Handed her in and they were driven off. At length the carriage stopped. The door was again opened. Leon stepped out and gave his hand to Patience, who, the next moment found herself ascending the steps in front of an elegant mansion. Before she had time to recover her wonder the deor opened iu answer to Leon’s ring, and giving her hand an assurring pre-s, he condueted her into a sumptuous apartment where a state- ly, white-haired lady grose to meet them. ‘Mother this is the daygl ter I have brought you,’ said Leon. There was that in the wl. ite-haired Jadx’s looks which spoke more plain- ly than words, her approval of her son’s choice, and there was a warmth of welcome in her embrace which drove all the misgivings frem Pa- tience’s heart. ‘But,’ said Patience after the greet- ing was over, ‘this cannot be your home, dear Leon,’ ‘No; it is ours new,’ he answered langhingly, ‘Then you are—’ » What the world calls rich, bnt’ he master hecame a pretty constant visi- added, encircling her with his arms, ' must buy chemicals and mix them. for. himself, using at the same time, all the home materials he has. The question is, in what form can he bay these things cheapest. The best and cheapest eources ofthese substances, now within veach-of our farmers, are, for available phosphoric acid dissolved bones and dissolved S. Cc. phosphate ; for ammonia Salphate of am- monia or potential ammonia in fishscraps, slaugliter-house offal, ete; for potash muriate of potash (for fine tobacco sul- phate of potash) for Hme ground plaster. Where dissolved bones or S.C. phosphate are used it is generally not necessary te buy sulphate of lime in addition as these contain it. Sewe of the costly chemicals called for by formulas supplied farmers by dealers are comparatively unneeded. The money eften put in sulphate of magnesia and sulphate of soda, for example, had better be put in more of the more valua- ble ingredients. I do not recommend buying nitrate of soda ordinarily now either. At present prices sulphate of am- monia affords nitrogen cheaper. Nitrate of seda at 6 cta. per Ib. supplies nitrogen equivolent to ouly 17 percent. of ammon- ia, while sulphate af ammonia at 5} cts. per Ib. supplies 25 per cent. of ammonia. The nitrate has the faether disadvantage too of being so very soluble in water.that it is in large part washed ont of the sail and thus lost to the plants. Lawes and Gilbert established this for their clay soil at Rothamstead by careful experiments. It must be much truer of our soils. Simi- larly I recommend muriate of potash {ex- cept for fine tobacco) in preference .to.the sulphate. ‘High grade” sulphate.of pot- ash at 24 cts. a pound eoutsins enly about 27 per cent. of potash, while the mugiate at 3 cts. per pound centains 50 per cent.

CaswEeLL.—The Legislature made an appropriation of five hundred dollars for a monument in hon- or of (;overnor Caswell, who was the first of the line. Gov. Jarvis has been at the spot where his body was buried, but found no mark indicating the grave. The citi- zens of Kinston propose to add a thou- sand or more dollars to the appropriation and locate the monument ia the public square of the town, and it is said Gov. Jarvis, who has been appointed to super- intend the execution of the State’s patri- otic purpese, has assented to it. — Te Editer Munn, of the Scientific Ameri- can, says “itis apity babies have no market value,” for the reason that four hundred per cent more babies die in in- fany, than pigs before reaching an age and size fit for the pork barrel. Attribu- ting this difference to the fact_that pigs have a.commercial value and babies Lave not, the cause for pity is apparent. “If,” aaysthe American, ‘the life of pigs, or jambs, or colts, or calves, ways anything jike as precarious, the newspapers weuld be fall of discussions of causes and of aeans of prevention. When haf the babies dio before reaching maturity we talk of reconciling ourselves to the dis- pensation of a mysterious Providence,” And it goes ou further to say that “the ignorance of people in regard to the pro- per care and feeding of children is simply appalling}and the indifference commonly manifested is not unfrequently murder- ous.” We quote further, as follows: “The assumption of parental duties without an etfort to discover the proper care of infancy, now the usual enstom ameng us, is as likely to be fatal as to undertake ignorautly the care of a steam engine; and we trast the time will come when it will be popularly recognized as quite as criminal. That good time for badies would not have been delayed un- til vow if they had been, like pigs, a fac- tor of commerce. If there are so many children that half of them require te be killed to give op— portunity to the rest, the killing ought, at least, to be done with discretion, pick- ing out the least desirable specimens for that fate, as we do with kittens: To lese half, and that at haphazard, is as uuceonomical as it is morallyfintolerable.” of ‘‘HippenrrE.—This isa pew gem dis- covered by Prof. Hidden.” So writes a North Carolina paper after the history of the new gem has beep fully given by the Statesville Americar, — itis net true that Prof. Hidden was the dis- coverer, nor is it right that he should have credit, as in the naming of the gem, which does not belong tohim, We think North Carolina papers at least, should take some care to set this matter right, and that new is the time to doit. The gem was first discovered by a pative of the county of Iredell, J. A. D. Stephenson, five or more years ago, who sept speci- mens of it to a distinguished savant in New York to determine its character and value. Mr. Stephenson himself conduct- ed Prof. Hidden to the spot where it was found, and gave him the specimens which procured for him the honor of discovery.

Mr. Swith is now at work on ‘a half machine for the Atlanta exposition,” where he ex- pects to find more encouragement than he has received at hone. The Avricultural Department of the State should look into this thing. worn it fourths it once. _— 2 It is estimated that the use of intoxica- ting liquors has cest the county of Rowan not less than ten thousand dollars within the last ten years. Jt may exceed that amount as we shall see, when the facts and figures shall be accurately brought out. The county pays more every ycar on account of drunkenness than she receives on the liquor licenses issued. As a money opera- tion it is a dead loss to the county. And as the use of liquor neither adds physical nor moral strength to any citizen, and re. pairs no roads, builds no bridges, nor yields any good results to the cemmunity, com- mon sense would say, put a step to it, and throw the burden of liquor drinking and the liquor traffic on the shoulders of those who practice them. The subject will come up this summer, and eachyoter will have a chance to say at the polls what he thinks about it. a Reports from Chio Island, under date ef April 7th, state the killed by the earthquake there ou Sunday, April 2d, between 6,000 and 7,000. More than 25 per cent ef the entire population, 70,000, were either killed or wounded. Every house, 50 alone ex- cepted, was destroyed. The shocks con- tinued at intervals, so that the inhabitants were in constant dread. The odor of dead bodies in the towns and cities was over powering, and it was feared a pestilence would break out among the living, Thirty women were in one house when the first Shock occurred and net one escaped. Eng- lish, French, United States and Austrian gun-vessels in the harber are doing all in their power to relieve the sufferers and aid the public authorities. The shocks are accompanied with underground reports like heavy explosions, eee FrictioNaL Enecrriciry.—The very first manifestation of electric action ob- served by men, says the Scientific A meri- can, namely, the attraction which an electrified body has for light objects, is the last to be sigually utilized in the arts; and that, too, net in some new and original art by some learned iuvestiga- tor in electrical science, but by a couple of boys, and in an industry which is as old as civilization. The papor quoted refers to what is called frictional electricity by rubbing a poor conductor like amber, wax, glass, &c., by another like silk or fur, the light substances employed to exhibit the phenomena of electrical attraction aud repulsion in the machines used for | this purpose is bran. The boys referred to conceived the idea of utilizing this fact by applying frictional electricity to the separation of bran in the mauufac- ture of flour, and devised a machine for this purpose; and hence the electrical bran separator to which allusion made in this paper two weeks ago, was +> + Fire at MorGanton,—The Blade gives the particulars of a fire at Morganton on Tuesday, April 5th, when the wind was blowing furiously. It broke out in the store house éast of the Court House, oc- cupied by Messrs. Frazier & T irner aud Robt. L. McConnaughey, and burned ey- orything east of it within reach. The losers were Maj. Wilson, on the building in which the fire commenced, $2,500; Frazier & Turner on stock, $500; the Boyden & Means property, $500; Mull Warehouse, $100. Mr. Donald Fra- zier also lost his trunk, wearing apparel, notes, &c., valued at about $500. The The Masons lost their furniture, jewels, regalia, ete., valued at $500.

One of | SrLF Supror?.—Franee: has, been the best customer the United States has bad for surplus meat and bread, and we have been sending over to her exormous quan- tities ever year for some time past; and the trade was continually on the rise, Bat France has coneluded to put restric- tions upon it, evidently for the purpose vf encouragiug home production, It is pot at all surprising, for the conditions which would indnee a State to favor a particular trade in 1870, might have no existence in 1830, and it would be to her interest to abrogate it. At any rate, France has thought proper to lay heavier charges on the importation of previsions and breadstuffs, and the effect ou this country itis thought, willbe a large decrease in shipments to that market. If her farmers fail to supply the inarket the suffeaers will be apt to make it known. The measure will secure to French farm- ersa better price for their products in the proportion it removes American competi- tion. OS Oe The last thing we have seen from Gen, Hancock was a neat letter to a little girl in inois who was 80 glad that the Gen- eral’s birth day waa the same as her own, the 14th of February. This, like all his letters, shows aman with a big, brave and true heart, whose happiness does not depend on high positjon and sounding titles. ROWAN COUNTY. BY J. KR. APPENDIX. ROLL OF HONOR.

Take the walk from R. Murphy’s brick store ov Fisher street to J. D. Browu’s corner on Fulton street,as a sample of the pavements referred to. Rocks are stick- ing up so high and in such numbers as to make it dangerous to walk over them in night or day ; and any one straining an ankle or sustaining other damage in walking over them would have a reason- able cause of action for damage against the Town Commissioners. In wet weath- er they are worse than in dry, for the clay and sand in which the stones are set softers, and the pedestrian has not even the choice between two erils—the mud and stones—beat must pick his way the best he can. We suppose the town is not prepared to undertake a very expensive improve- ment on the sidewalks just now, but there is no good reason why the Com- missioners might not have them well covered with tanbark or sawdust, which former experience has shown to answer a good purpose for one or two years. It costs very little and always elicits the thanks of the community. it is rather bad that citizens have to putup with and be thankful for smiail favers in respect to pavements, the most important sub- jeet to them, consider the heavy avnual tax required of them. when they | oa STOCKHOLDERS OF TUE WN, C.

Bullion Mine. Mr. Cope started, last Monday, the mills at the BuLLION Mine. The ores are rich and all the maehinery new, and Tich returns are expected. — —~—eaaer—__—_ CROWELL GOLD MINE. An exceeding rich “lead” has been struck in the Crowell and it grows ricker every foot advanced. Tlie ores at this mine improve as they go deeper. —— THE HILL MINE, Owned by Messrs. S. R. Harrison and S. E. Linton, is now being worked by these gentlemen. It lies six miles south- west of this city, and its ores are very rich. Fwo shafts are being sunk. Mr. Harrison leaves next Monday and will bring back with him an engine and hois- ting machinery, whieh is to be erected immediately. This isa good sign—it is a detriment to mining here, that so few natives go into it. It is to be hoped that others will follow the lead of these enter- prising gentlemen. ——__--—___ Dr. Eames and Mr. Wm. Brandreth, have returned from Jefferson. They went te that place from here and returned by way of Statesville. Mr. Brandreth was acting as acommittee of one, in behalf ‘of the North State Mining Company, his object being to report the most practical route for the Company’s proposed rail- road. In aconversation with him, con- cerning the Salisbury and Jefferson scheme and Salisbury’s interest in it, he begged us to say to the committee that he was not in position to speak to them definitely, as he was merely out to go over the routes and make a report to the Company, aud that the report woald be made and due consideration given to all parties. He returned to New York last Friday evening. a GOLD HILL, ROWAN COUNTY. Gold Hill, now an incorporated town of five hundred or more inhabitants, lying fourteen miles south of Salisbury, would probably never have been built, had it not been for the existence of its gold. An abre- viated historic sketeh of the mines which gave rise and nourishment to this place may be of interest; especially so, as there seems a prospect of an carly reopening of the mines, Gold was fitst discovered in 1342, by some prospectors, and what is four mineral properties: The “ITunny- cut,” the “Old Fields,” the “Bernhardt,” and the “Randolph.” These we will view first singly, and afterwards celleetively. The Hannyeut wag discovered by Culp and Hunnyent, while panning in a breuch. | Poliowing up the ravine, they found out- “croppings of a vein. From this they took ha rock weighing about a hundred pounis, | [which they erashed in a mortar and pan- ined. It yielded eighty-five penny weights fof gold. On this spot they snuk a shaft | ; a two hundred feet, and run cross cucs, de- velopiug several rich veins. [n those ! ae ay = . the Road. ‘hey } days (1342) the machinery now employed | Y to aet ta furtaering jin mining was unkuown, and thease men | | operated with the primative horse ‘whim,’ iby which they lifted the water and ore trom the mine. For crushing ore, they used what was then known as a horse “drag” mill. With this simple machine- ry, in the course of about twelve years, there was taken from this mine about two hundred thonsand dollars worth of gold. Abont this time (1853-4), the lease under which the property was worked, expired; since which times, yery little work has been done. The property adjoining, known as the “Old Fileds,” was discovered about the same time (1342) by John Troutman, whe owned the land. He leased it to parties who operated it up to 1353. They sunk some thirty or forty shafts, finding veins in all; some very rich and some ordinary. The deepest shaft ow this place will not exceed one hundred and fifty fect in depth, They took out fifty thousand dollars worth of gold. The “Bernhardt” also adjoinin, discovered the same year, and is ca the samo “lead” of the “Old Fields,” and was owned by George Heilig. He leased to Bernhardt & Co., from which lease it took its name. Only four shafts were sunk, the deepest, two hundred and fifty feet. They put up an engine which ran several “whims,” and used the “Chillian” mill, with stirrers, tubs and hand rockers for amalgamating. Their lease also ex- pired in 1853. During this period, some hundred and fifty thousabd dollars worth of gold was produced. The “Randolph” Mine was also discov- ered in 1842, by Peter Earnhart, and was leased toacompany, of which he was the head, A number of shafts were sunk to the depth of three hundred feet, on veins running parallel to the Bernhardt vein. The first engine carried to Gold Hill was erected on this property. It ran five Chillian mills and the amalgamating machinery, and hoisted the water. Their lease also expired in 1853. Not less than one-half million of gold was produced by this company during these few years. In 1853, the Troutman, Heilig and Karnhart properties were consolidated aud sold toa New York company for three hundred thousand dollars cash. They or- ganized the Gold Hill Mining Co, This company continued the use of the Chilli- an mills, but tried many other processes for amalgamation aud finally returned to the simpler processes. The first two years of their control, Messrs. M, L. Holmes and E, Mauney acted as superin- tendents, dming which tine one hundred and fifteen thousand five-hundred and twenty-five dollars worth of gold, net profit, was paid to the company, After this time, the company took charge and ran it successfully ; sinking and driving Was now known as Gold Hill, is comprised of | dred feet. They found contiguous veirs fof rich slphuret ores. = ~ * In 1874 the property passed from their hands, and was bought by Messrs, M. L. and R. J. Holmes, of this city, who are the present owners. The mine has not been worked since the date of purchase. four millions of gold has been taken from these mines since their opening. Tun— nels have been run on veins nine hundred feet, on others three hundred feet. Mr. Barr, who is putting up Adams’ reduction works at Charlotte, N. C., vis- ited Gold Hill three months ago, and es- timated that there were five thonsand tons of tailings on the property. He took a quantity of the tailings from which he reported an assay of $41,50 per ton. This fact is only mentioned-to show the rich- ness of the ores at this miue. “During the most prosperous times at Gold Hill, there were between twelve and fifteen hundred inhabitants in the little town. This is the largest and most valuable viving pro- perty yet discovered in North Carolina. A GIGANTIC SCHEME. A gentleman, represeting a large man- ufacturing establishment of the State of Rhode Island, has been at the Narrows of the Yadkin, with the view of getting a huge water power. It’.fsi*proposed to cat a canal from Stoke’s Ferry to the mouth of the Uwharvie River. The agent proposes to do the work if praeticable. Col. Jno. F. Cotton, from whom we get our inforination, thinks it entirely practieal, and proposes surveying a portion of the route himself and report on the feasibility of tha plan. Sach a work would do mere to develop that section than possibly any other means could accomplish. A rail- road would then be an assurred thing, and the vast mineral resources of old Mont- gomery would be brought face to face with the worid. SDE NP EEE OPI I PS ES For the Watchman.

By reference to the reports for the past several years made by the North Caroli- na Experiment Station, it will be seen that Soluble Paetfke Guano (tested the commercial value) has held the highest rank among the forty or fifty different brands of commercial fertilizers offered for sale in the State. “ This is a splendid, but not undeserved, tribute to the Paefle Guano Company, which for sixteen years has manufactured au article universally admitted te be un- surpassed in its remarkable effects upon the growth of the great Sorthern staple. Indeed, so well known is Soluble Pacitic Guauo, that we have almost ceased to iseue circulars except for distribution in the more remote districts and in those recently - opened to Railroad transportation. Although we have thousands of testimonials as to the value of Seluble Paeifie G@u- ~ ano, we will only publish below a few from some of the leading farmers ef this and - adjoining counties, which will serve to stimulate inquiry among those who have not used it, and will result in securing favorable personal testimony from its old patrons to those who are desireus of learning its results in the past, which results, combin- ed with the solid reputation of the Pacific Guano Company, are a sufficient guaran- tee that the standard will be strictly maintained in the future. - TESTIMONIALS: J.

When Tarrived this morning it seemed to me as if there could pot be a bad man or a scolding woman In abe villiage, but four hours have yiassed, and Jam a-wiser man. I came here to see old Mrs. Brown ‘about a pension she wants from the ‘goverment, and when we had finish- ed our business, I said : ‘61 see you have churches here.’ ‘Yes; but we never have any ser- mons worth listening to.’ «The men look intelligent and smart.’ ‘Humph! They are regular pokes! There is not a man in Farmville who knows enough to even ask boot in a horse trade.’ ‘Bat the women look happy,’ I protested. ‘Then they look what they aiu’t,’ she answered. ‘I don’t believe there jsa happy woman in the whole vil- Jage. If you only knew of the awful carryings on here you would not look for very happy wives.’ ‘What awful things do the men do?’ 6You’d better ask what they don’t o. It isa wonder to me that Farm- ville hasn’t shared the fate of Sodom and Go morrow.’ ‘Do they drink ?’ ‘Do they? Didn’t I sce even old Deacon Harris weaving this way and that as he climed the hill last even- jng? It’s a slippery path, of course, but sober men don’t climb a hill sideways.’ ~ Do they gamble ?” ‘Gamble! What did Mrs. Potts tell methat her brother’s wife told Mrs. Davis not a month ago? Four of the leading men in the place were caught playing checkers for soda water. ‘[hat’s a nice exumple, isn’t it? ‘Is Mrs. Potts nice?” ‘Nice! Why, she’s the worst gos- sip in town! It’s a wonder the men don’t duck her in the mill-pond.’ ‘And Mrs. Davis ?’ , ‘She’s a hypocrite! She’ll talk sweet to your face, and abuse you be- hind your back.’ ‘Mrs. George is well spoken of.’ ‘By whom? I’ve known her fif- teen years, and I never heard a human being speak well of her! She eats opium and lies like a trollop!’ ‘Isn’t Nrs. Henry all right ? ‘All right? Why, no one can tive in the house next toher’? ‘The postmaster seems a good man,’ I ventured to remark. —_ ‘Good man! Why, my husband al- _ways believed he was the very man who threwa yaller deg down vur .well.

Mrs. Brown says that every business man is ready to ‘bust,’ and every family has at least one scandal about them. On my way over to the post office an hour ago I asked a grocer if he knew old Mrs Brown. ‘Know her !

Anoter Western Town Reported Swept Away and Thirty Lives Lost. YaNkTowy, D. T., April 5.—The water has risen to a point a foot high- er than the rise of March 29. caer Yaukten is submerged to-day and the people have been moved to the upper portion of the city. No lives are imperiled, but considerable dam- age must result to property, Intelli- gence has been received to-day from ‘Bonhommo that out or fourteen per- sons ten have been rescued alive and well, A family named Haddeman are undoubtedly drowned. Several other sfamilies are probably lost six pailes this side. The Green Island nt ee peopie have beeu in part reuoved ‘to this place, No lives. were lost there, but the villiage is completely washed | away. Water.and ice to the depth of | twelve teet lie acrossthe village site. The ice probably cheked up the channel of the river a short distance below Yankton, turning the great volume of water across the lowlands on the Dakota side and causing it to flow eastward thirty miles before it re-enters the old channel at Vermil- lion, a point on the river bank which is reported carried away with the loss of thirty lives. This report needs confirmation. The river at this point is about six miles in width. Its sur- face is covered with broken ice. Farther east a few miles the water broadens to fifteen miles retaining this width without exception for forty-five miles. ——_ - ~~ A Dissolute Earl. The Earl of Lonsdale, who recent- ly arrived at New York in his yatch, is characterized by the Times of that city as a nobleman ef that class which brings no credit on his order. “Ever since succeeding toa princely heritage, at an early age, he began tu run a ri- otous course, taking ne part as a leg- islator or any interest in the estates from wvhich he derived his income.— He married a daughter of the late Admiral Lord Herbert—a profession- al beauty—in spite of the opposition of her brother Lord Pembroke, who refused to attend the wedding. ‘The marricd pair entered on a course of extravagant dissipation, and between them they found an income of four hundred dollars insufficient for their needs, and were forced to sacrifice some of their effects to settle up their debts. re The W.N.C. Railroad Injunction Suit. The Charlotte Observer of the 7th, says: The restraining order granted to W. J Best by Judge Eure, prevent- ing the meeting of the stockholders of the Western North Carolina Railroad at Salisbury on the 24th of March, was made returrable before Judge Seymourat Wilkesboro to day, when it is expected that the argument for a permanent injunction would be heard. Maj. C. Dowd, one of Best’s attorneys, stated yesterday, hewever, that the case would not be argued, and that Mr. Henderson had gone to Wilkes- boro simply to make a motion fora postponement, “Then you will not insist on the permanent injunction 2?” asked the re- porter, “Well, we are ready to argue the ease, and the whole matter will come up at the Rowan court. We succeed- ed in preventing the meeting of the stockholders, which answered our pur- pose for the present.” “Well, Lut can’t another meeting be called? There is no injunction af- to-day to prevent it, is there? “No injunction; but the law re- quircs thirty days’ notice fer a stock- holders’ meeting, and before that time expires we can prepare ourselves.” Insuncrion Dissotvep.—It is learned through private sources that Judge Seymour, at Wilkesboro court, dissolved the injunction against the Richmoud and Danville Railread on a restraining order granted by Judge Eure to W. J. Best. This action was anticipated by Beet, as stated yester- day morning in this paper. The cree to decide the the cost and other mat- ters comes up at Rowan Court.— Charlotte Observer. SR I A Two CounTiEs.—Says the Raleigh Farmer and Mechanic: A glance‘at the United States postal report shows many fynny things. There is, for in- stance, an old county, formerly famed as perhaps the most cultured, certain- ly the wealthiest, county in North Carolina, It has but one postoffice. The county is New Hanover—the pdstoffice is Wilmington. There is another county, which by nature is the wildest, and in ‘population one of the thinest of our counties; yet the good people of Wilkes have thirty- seven offices, and we wish they may soon have a dozen more. —_—__— ReErusticay Tarry.—-Ha rrisburg, Pa., April 7.—The Republican eau- cus resolution, endorsing the course of the Republicans in the United States Senate, was passed in the State Senate to-day by a party vote.

Their wonderful adaptability to the various of all schools. For nervous persons and Inna- tics, qne or more applied to the apine ed sleep when opiates, even hydrate of chloral, had been of little servire. Now, when one can- not sleep, its is the common practice to apply a Plaster to the back. You scarcely touch the pillow before sou are sound asleep, Alicocks Porous.Plasters have tie curative effect of the Spanish fly blisters, yet make no sore, and never affect the kidneys ; are conveni- eut fer all ages and conditions, usually only producing a “hlush” on the skin, and more cer- tainly curative than Hiniments or blisters, and without prostration or pain of the jatter. This ix trnéeven in Croup, Quinsy, Plenrisy, Lung and Throat Affections, aud the atility-of this sanitary invention has ‘been warmly wel= comed. © They are Jargely sold inevery part of the world, and it is believed that nut i than five bundredsthousand persons are well, and attending ta the dutics of life, free trom pain, whu have ap Alleock’s Porous Plaster some- where about*them, and who, but for the said plaster, would be prostrate apon a bed uf ago- ny. Besides, a peculiar piny, pleasant odor, halo, or atmosphere exhales from them by the warmth of the body, imperceptible to the eye, but which envelops the person in a. elond of thin vapor, through which contagion cannot penetrate. In fact, Allcock’s Plasters supply an atmospbere like that from balagm_ or pine woods, and no doubt attract azone. When contagious or infect- tous diseases are about; they should be worn on the chest or back aa p tives.” THE ALLCOCK’S POROUS PLASTER oothes pain, reanimates ferpid limbs, seems, in many cases, to“ r@vive the powers of life. The great demand proves them to be used as a universal remedy. They are corivenient of ay « plication, and safe for all, being incapable ot producing any injurions effects, Dr. Valentine Mott, Dr. Johnson, of Hart- ford, and De. Myers, of Savannah, have spoken of them in the highest terms. The great Mott said; “hey were all that could be hoped for in a plaster—ximple, cleanly and Adhesive; perfect as artificial supporters of the mnacles ; and for pains, because of their counter-irritant qualities, usually at once giving eaxe.” Local weakness of the back, breast and side, always benefited, thus curing lumbago in a few hours, sometimes In a few minutes. In serious heart and chest affections their use causes an absorption or evaporation of wa- ter, by which dropsy of the heart and hydro- thorax have undoubtedly been cured. They «appear to havea peculiar effect npon the nervous, allaying irritability while supply ing warmth. They scem to acemnlate elec- tricity, and aid the circulation of the blood through the part where applied, by which healthy actions are induced. The Porous Plasters are flexible, and found of great help to these who lave weak backs or pains in the side, Especially are they val- uable to these who have neglected colds, They are often preventives of consumption; nay, they are believed to have loosened the grasp of this terrible affliction, and had been mainly instrumental in eflecting a cure. In variable climates they xhould be worn on the breast, or between the shoulders, or over the kidneys, by those who are subject to take cold easily. This simple plan will soon produce constitutional vigor that will enable one to resist extraordi- nary changes of temperature. Experience has proved the Porons Plaster to be a blessing to the consumptively inclinee, invariably produc. ing the most remarkable abatement of the worst symptoms, Prinsipal Agency, 294 Canal Street, New York City; end for Sale by all Druggists. 20:1y= pd.

RE Ta Agricultural Experiment Station. Bulletin No. 7, April 2d 1881. Field Frperiments. What does my land need to produce a given erop to the best advantage, is the living, all important questioti with the intelligent farmer. Different soils have very different wants, varying with their original character and with the kind of exhatstion to which they have been sub- jected. It should be the aim of the far- ner to supply exactly what is needed and nothing else. It is only in this way that the highest profits are made, If, for ex- ample, the farmer puts phosphoric acid, ammonia and petash in one of the soeall- ed complete manures at the cost of 840.00 per tony “pon his soil when really only | phosphoric acid is needed for his erop Npon that soil, and this can be had at , 830.00 per tov, for his immediate parpo- | ees att least, he is throwing away $10.00. ‘itis true that very often our worn Jauds bneed all these cletieuts of plant-teod and | the complete manure very generally docs | Well therefore. But it is not by any means julways true that itis the thing which it | Will pay the firmer best to use. 1 very much doubt, for example, whether in the majority of cases he gets any sufficient return fer the 2 to 3 per cent. of ammon- iain the nitrogenous matter to render it worth the tive to ten dollars additional which he has to pay for it. The farmer asks then, how shall I find exactly what it will pay me best to apply to my soil for a particular crop? The laboratory method which has been pro- posed gives a very uncertain reply. The comparison of the analysis of the soil and the plant teaches us little definitely. The analysis of the soil can of necessity rep-— resent only a few ounces of soil at most. Thousands of tons of soil are within reach of the crop. What probability is there that the few onnces will accurately rep- resent the thousands of tons? There are many other reasons why this method ig very unreliable. The practical test with the crop upen the soil is worth more than all the analy- ses of soils the chemist can make. The answer nature makes to the questions put directly to her in field experiments are far clearer and more reliable than the theories of the chemist. Such experi- nents every farmer should conduct for himself. These results would be his sur- est guides in fertilisiug his land. I present here a simple scheme for some such experiments having reference to the elements of plant=food most often needed upon an inexpeusive scale. The question to which the experimenter seeks the answer is, will it pay me best to use phosphoric acid ammonia or potash upon my soil with this crop. Will the return be best with any one of these alone, any combination of two of them or with all three together ? An acre of partially; exhausted soil is selected of as uniform character and as level as possible, It is accurately divid- ed into ten parallel strips. The different substances are applied as illustrated by the diagram, three lots being left with no manure to serve as standards of compari- son. 1, Nothing. 2. Phosphoric acid. 3. Ammonia. 4. Potash. 5. Phos. acid, Am. and Potash. 6. Nothing. 7. Phos. acid and Ammonia. 8. Phos. acid and Potash. 9. Ammonia and potaah, 10. Nothing. Plot 1. receives nothivg, On 2, put 40lbs. dissolved S.

Corn: and cotton will be found convenient crops te experiment with. Though a large va- riety of field or garden crops adapt them- selves to such experiments. If the experiments have been carefully conducted the farmer will sce clearly from the results which element or elements of plant-food were néeded for this crop- Of course many more factots come into the problem in practice and must be consid- ered in drawing the final conclusions. | But the system of experiments present here in merest outline will be fonnd to be in any case very instructive. The necessary chemicals will cost un- der $8.00. I shall be glad to correspond with farmers interested in such cxperiments and will sdpply them with further direc- tions, if desired. Chas. W. DABNEY, Director. —— —— —_——n-0>-e From the Raleigh News. A Prize Worth Contending For. We liave twice before called attention to the “star” premiums offered by the State Agricultural Society to the young men and women of our State. Col. Polk, the secretary, has favored us with the following particulars and rules in regard to them, which we know will be read with great interest by the enterprising young people of the State: THE YOUNG MAN’S STAR PREMIUM. To the unmarried man under 24 years of age, who shall bring to. the State fair the greatest and best variety of the pro- ducts of his own hands, a premium of $50 in gold, THE YOUNG WOMAN'S STAR PREMIUM, To the unmarried lady years of age, who shall bring to the State fair the greatest and best variety of products of her own hauds, a premium of $50 in gold. Vor the next best display by a young wan and young Woman, as above, $25 in gold to eneh. Parties competing for the above pre- minms will be required to observe the following rules ; 1. Each exhibitor mest furnish the secretary with a full list of all the arti cles to be exhibited on or before Satur— day, October 8th. 2. The displays for this premiam must be in position and ready for examination by 12 m. on Tuesday, the lith. .3. The list of articles furnished the secretary, under rule J, must be accom- panied by the affidavit of the party mak- ing the entry, setting forth that the ex- hibitor doés not exceed the age prescri- bed ; that each and every article exhibi- ted isthe product of his or her own hands, and that said articles have all been made since the Ist day of November, 1880. Printed forms of affidavit will be furn- ished by the secretary on application. 4. The nnmes of cxhibiters must not appear on any of the articles. They will only be made known after the premiums have. been awarded. 5. Each display will be made as a whole, and may be arranged under the personal supervision of the exhibitor. 6. Persons iutending to compete for these premiums must notify the secretary on or before the Ist of August, 7. These exhibitions will be subject to the same rules governing entries wade for other premiums, and will not be re- moved til the close of the general exhibi tion. Theawards be will made by commit- tees composed of ladies and gentlemen so chosen as to guard most effectually against injustice and partiality. These judges, as well asthose for all other departments, will be selected aud their services secnred as soon as possible. All awarding committees for the coming fair will be chosen beforehaud and with an eye single te their peculiar fitness and qualifications fur the work to which they may be assigned. Cul. Polk asks that all the young men and ladies, who desire to efter the list for this high honor and this splendid premium, will communicate with him. He will answer all letters and inquiries pron.tply and cheerfully. State papers will please copy, ne Ona certain day, years ago, two men and an Indian squaw arrived at a swampy spot with a wagon. They went to work and stuck up a rude shanty. A man shot a woodchuck and the squaw skinned and cooked it. They ate the woodchuck. Then they all crawled into the shanty and went tosleep. These proceedings, ridiculous as it may seem, are to be celebrated in great style, with much braying of trumpets and beating of drums, Much gunpowder fs to be fired and several men blown up, to cele- brate the slaying of the woodchuck. For the proceedings of those two men and that squaw constituted the founding of Chicago. —Boston Post, eee The velvet loom is the invention of a under 22 Spaniard named Reixach. from that State promptly said that they didn’t believe a word of it, and asked for the name of the martyr.

Tue Comine Ficut AGAINST MABONE IN Vrroria.— Washington, April 11.—Ex- Congressman Goode, of the Norfolk district, has been treveling through Virginia during the past month in connection with the York- town celebration, He rcturned here to-day and says that his inquiries in all parts of the State satisfied him that the result of the coalition between the Republicans and Ma- hone will be to unite under Demoeratic leadership about all the respectability of the State against the rabble that will follow Mahone for public plunder. Mr. Goode predicts that the Democrats will carry the State by an overwhelming majority in the fall election, Another well known Virgin- ian from Richmond reports the feeling there over the coalition to be quite as intense as Mr. Goode found it elsewhere.

Black, who knows more law and politics than most men, directs public attention through a newspaper interview to the novel fact that President Garfield can go into the Senate and make speeches if he chooses, It seems that Number 65 of the standing rules of the Senate, adopted no one knows how long ago, provides for a confer- ence between the President and the Senate, and even stipulates that he shall have a seat on the right of the Chair. The veil of secrecy which surrounded the meetings of the first Congresses leaves it uncertain how generally this rule was practiced by the Presidents, but Judge Black avers that they practiced it upon occasion. Later the rule became practically abrogated by the adop- tion of writing asa means of communication between the White House and the Capitol, and thus through three-quarters of a centu- ry of disuctude has become utterly lost to sight. But itis still on the list of rules, and the Ex-Attorney General thinks Gar- ticld might do well to revive it, and use his gilt of cloquence to stop the present dis- graceful dvad-lock,and get the Senate down to business, In the interest of pure fun—as a Syracuse student would say—we hope the President may think favorably of this pro- position, and embody it in practice. A little discussion on the floor of the Senate as to the exact terms of the Mentor deal between Corkliug and Garfield, would make a charm- ingly appropriate inaugural for this gentle spring season.— Utica N.

Her final de- cline began on Saturday, and frem that time she had not.strength enough to write her wishes. By signs she indicated that she did not wish to see any more strangers. She had a high fever, but by morning it had abated and she lay quietly until the hour of dissolution. At noon she completed the forty-seventh day of her fast.

It is proposed te com- meuce work on the building at once, and in the meantime the machinery has been order- ed. Work on the New Orleans bagging factery is progressing rapidly, and it is promised that its looms will be in motion before mid-summer, | Alluding to these and several other manufacturing enterprises now under way it that city, the New Orleans Democrat hopefully remarks that “these Clearly indieate the tendency of capital, and a Semin Progress in the direction of marin turing industry than has beew wit | nesssed during any season since the war. The Biblical Recorder says: Rev. C. G. Manley writes tothe Central Baptist from Augusta, Kansas, March 17, and tays: The temperance question is the topic here and has been for the last six months.” Already, he assex ts, “we don’t see one drunk man where we saw twenty one year ago. Blear-eyed, bloated drunk- ards begin already to look ruddy and heal- thy. It is a time of rejoicing with God's people.” He closes thus: “Sinee the strin- gent temperance bill that reeently passed our Legislature and goes on to our stat— utes as a law came into existence, a ter- rible wail has come up from some of our local papers in behalf of our churches. What can they do without wine in the sacrament? I don’t know how you do in Missouri. But we (1 mean the Baptists) here in Kansas discard the use of fermen- ted wine in the sacrament almost unani- mously. Weare glad that we can Say in the future entirely.” —~ . It is said that the first cotton sced mill was crected at the South in 1869, and that now there are 51 in operation. There are exported to Europe annually about 130,000 barrels of oil, which doubtless comes back to us, part at least, as olive oil. It is also used in soap, white oils, stearine, and fer hundreds of purposes, The cotton seed cake is a capital cattle food, and made into prop- er shape is a splendid fertilizer. Its com- parative value as attested by the State chem- ist of Georgiatis $37.50 a ton and it can besold for $22 to $25 aton. An ordinary fertilizer that has a commercial value of $87 is sold at $50 to $70 a ten. It is admitted that a ton of cotton sced yields 35 gallons of oil at 33° cents—$11.50, It yields about $5.50 worth of cake and $1.50 worth of lint. It costs about $10 for the seed and $6.50 for working, barreling, ete., making $16.50 cost ona yield of $18.60, or a net profit of $2a ton. In this section perhaps there may be a difficulty in obtaining a large quantity ef the seed, but surely, eneugh can be ebtain- ed to justify running a small mill and mak- ing the profit above estimated. _—_— cc 0 ee H. HW. IL, writing to the Charleston Nezs and Courier, trom New York, says: Dr. Philip Schaff, one of the American reviewers ot the New Testament, told me to-day that the books will be for sale on the 80th of May. All the stories about a stock of books now on hand in New York, under lock and key, are false. The Testament will contain a supplement of a dozen pages, giving the suggestions of the American committee which are not accepted by the English re- visers. The majority of the American sug- gestions were, however, accepted. It will surprise many persons to learn that, al- though almost every verse in the New Tes- tament has been altered, it will sound very much like the old book. Many alterations concern the punctuation simply or unim.- portant words. Six New York publishers are now preparing to reprint the Testament, as revised, within twenty-four hours of its appearance upon the market, which will be simultancous in England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia and the United States. The mar- gin of profit is small, however, as the edi- tion will be sold at retail for 25 cents for paper covered copies, and 40 cents for those bound in cloth. I forgot to say that the American suggestions rejected by the En- glish revisers relate chiefly toe archaic ex- pressions which the Americans wish to have replaced by modern forms and the English prefer to retain. ee *“ Cheek.”’ No, my son, cheek is not better than wis- dom; it is not better than honest modesty; it is not better than anything.

Here follows the truth from the Holston Methodist~a good point: “If prohibition actually increases the evils it is intended to prevent, it isa remark- able fact that liquor mannfacturers, venders and drinkers are usually ar- rayed against it, while the more so- ber and virtuous favor it. The fact is, prohibition does prohibit, and the friends of whiskey know and feel it. Put the question of local option or prohibition in any form, before the people, and the last doggery keeper in the land will ge to the polls and cast his suffrage against it. What does that mean? Does it mean that the devil is opposed to the increase uf dev- iltry? That his imps will vote against the enlargement of his dominions? Nay, verily. It means that the liquor combination has sense enough to know that prohibitory laws do have a ten- dency to place an embargo on the liquor traffic.” rm Mauna Loa--The Great Volcano of the Occident. ~_—_ Private advices from the Sandwich Islands report that the famous volca- no, Mauna Loa, is still in eruption, and has been continuously so since the early part of October. ‘The in- habitants say that the present erup- tion exceeds in grandeur, extent and activity any that they can remember, or of which there is any record. The American residents say that the spec- tacle is magnificent and well worth a voyage thither. The principal cra- ter, some 16,000 feet long and 9,000 to 10,000 feet wide, is constantly belching forth smoke, steam and flame, and occasionally throws up vast rocks, while the lava pours down the sides of the mountains, nearly 14,000 feet high, ia broad streams, Some of the eruptions have lasted thirteen months, and it is thought that the present one will be fully as long, for it has steadily augmented from the outset. It has been com- pared with the action of 1859, when the three new craters were opened on the side of the mountan, the loftiest being ten thousand fect above sea lev- el, though the two lower were the mest violent. one of these rose a column of liquid fire five hun- dred feet high. There are now six craters actiye, and it is said that the chief one throws out occasionally a stupendous mass of flime six hundred feet in altitude. Several of the rivers of lava are five or six miles wide, and From these actually form cascades, and in some instances are so voluminous as torun up hills The lava has also forced its way through subterranean outlets, and tumbled with a hissing, roaring sound into the sea. Mauna Loa has been far more en- ergetic of late years than it used to be, and is now distinguishing itself uni- versally. Some of the lava beds are enormous. The lava streams frequent- cool on top, and when new lava is added the crust breaks with loud explosions. Considerable uneasiness is felt among residents of Honolulu lest their dwellings be destroyed, and the opinion is generally expressed that in no voleano on the globe have finer natural pyrotechnics been seeu than now are there. Railroad Topics. We are pleased with the subjoined criticism of Mr. Best from the Char- Jotte Observer. We think it just and fair: There is with us, and should be, we conceive, throughout the State, no disposition to laugh at Mr. Best. He has unquestionably done the State some service and his worst enemies have yet been unable to show that his purposes were not sincere, though his methods have not been such as to ex- empt him from criticism. It may preve, and is indced now very likely to preve true, that he will not be able to realize the ardent hope with which he closed, smid rapturous applause, his speech before the Legislature in '188%, namely: “To carry them across the Blue Ridge to Paint Rock and Pigeon River,” but there is nothing te show that his desire to do so was You can eell goods without . it; and your customers won't run and hide’ not genuine and his faith implicit. If he has failed through adverse circum- stances of becoming the chief instru- ment in accomplishing this great work for the State, he is nevertheless an es- sential element in the forces that will accomplish it. The Richmend & Dan-_ ville company could never have get ten the road from the State on ace : count of prejudices whieh then an=_ doubtedly existed aud which need not be analized or criticized here. Mr. Best, then, accomplished what the Richmond & Danville road could not do, and now they in turn promise to — {do what Mr. Best could not aceom- plish. When, therefore, the road has ‘been completed and the celebration of the exent te at-its highest, we hope to vole‘for a resehution.. cae : Best for his efforts in helping the State te build a railxoad which she confessedly was not_ herself able. to build, and which must in any event prove an advantage to her. —-——__~=>- __- —__.. Carrying the war into Africa, How the Democratic Senators are Pro- ceeding to do this, Cor. Balumore Sun, WASHINGTON, April 11.—Two no« table speeches were made in the Sen- ate to-day, one by Mr. Call, of Flori- da, and the other by Mr. Vest, of Missouri. Both these Senators earried the war inte Africa. Mr. Call took ag his text the cry fora fair ballot and an honest count, impartial suffrage, &c., charges upon which have been made with so much iteration and re- iteration by Republican Senators, and more especially by those from New Eng- land. He reviewed the laws and regu- lations concerning the elective fran- chise in the three States of Massachu- setts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, and showed what is already gener- ally known, but seems somehow or other to have been lost sight of, that such a thing as impartial suffrage or a fair ballot is nut in existence in either of those Commonwealths, By the laws of all these States thousands and thousands of men, white, not black, areabsolntely disfranchised,and in Massachusetts, as Mr. Call exhibi- ted on the most irrefutable evidence, a system of espoinage and terrorism over the voter is exercised by empley- ers which hag no parallel even in the wild romances fabricated by tbe oute rage shriekers about the South. As to the disfranchisement of voters, if the 40,000 or more colored voters of the State of Maryland who exercise the right to deposit on every election day their votes without Jet or hindrance for the Republican candidates should emigrate ina body to the Republican State of Massachusetts, not 4,000 of them would be permitted to vote un- der its laws. As to the State of Con- necticut, there never was such a tra- versty on popular government as it presents. Mr. Call, in the course of his speech to-day, touched upon the representation in the* popular branch of the Legislature, and read from the apportionment system, showing that tewns and cities of from twenty to forty thousand population were only allowed the same membership as towns of five hundred to one then- sand population. Mr. Call omitted to mention that the large towns are generally Democratic, while the small ones are Republizan. It is about time that the New England Senators were reminded that they should take the beam out of their own eyes befure un- dertaking to remove the mote from the eyes of others. It would be much better if they would take their new ally, Mr. Mahone, up in their own eecuon, and inaugurate the crusade there, where it is most needed, for a free ballot and an honest count. Mr. Vest made both an eloquent and an argumentative speech. In reply to the assertion of Senator Sherman, a few days ago that no Republican commu- nity had ever repudiated, he gave a concise but graphic account of the $5,000,000 indebtedness deliberately repudiated by the Republican State of Minnesota, without one shadow of justification, and also cited the numer- ous instances of repudiation by Re- publican counties and townships ia the northwest. Mr. Sherman was un- able to make any. adequate reply to this shewing but he was much more taken aback when Mr. Vest, quoting from the official correspondence of the Treasury Department, showed that only eighteen menths ago Mr. Sher- man had Jaid down the rule that any federal official in Virgivia, found act- ing with therepudiationists or Mahone party would be removed. $e te a Carolina Watchman.

C. The extension will be made under the name of the North Carolina Midland Railroad. There is to be a meeting at Winston, on the 26th, to arrange for com mencing the work. ee The Mahone treachery is proving to be a sort of pandora’s box to the country It has brought about angry clashing between Senators North avd Senators South, whose speeches tend to increase section- alism. The Republican party is gaining nothing in the South by its corrupt bar- gain with Mahone, and by its persistent effurt to compel the Democrats to ratify the trade. Meaawhile they are responsi- ble for creating a difficulty which hinders the public business of the countty. oo A Goop FeatureE.—The ‘Female Be- nevolent Society,” and the ‘Ladies’ Chris- tian Union,” of Whitestown, N. Y.. which meet statedly for the ‘promotion of their benevolent schemes, have arranged to mix literary enjoyment with their labors by appointing one of their number to read aloud at each meeting. Mrs. PHILo Wuite, by allotment, read an essay on “True Merit,” before the ‘‘ Ladies’ Chria- tian Union” last week, who, though per— sonally unknown to us, is the consort of a highly esteemed former citizen of our town. en pe ee Sap InciDENT.—A citizen of Randolph county,aged 75 years, subject to attacks of billious colic, was out with bis wagon and team of horses, and feeling an attaek coming on, hitched his horses to trees and spread a blanket on*the ground, and it is sapposed, laid down on it. There were marks of a struggle, aga man writh- ing: in pain.. His dead body, without marks of violeuce,. were found ia the woods, as if he had started in. that direc- tion for the house, but fell exhausted on the way. EE SO DEATH OF LORD BEACONSFIELD. ' The telegraph reports the death of this distinguished English Lord, statesman, and orator. No man in England has ex- erted more influence in the British gov- ernment than he for the last quarter of a eentury, having several. times been the chief counselor.of the Queen. He arose from the humbe walks of society, which in acountry where titles and inherited honors have such potential influence, is the strongest evidence of his greatness. a ee THe MrIpLanpD Rat_roap.—As indica- ted in the published reports ef the meet- jpg recertly held in Baltimore to consider the question of pushing this enterprise to completion, it was unanimously resolved to build the road from Danville, Va., via Salem aud Winston, Mocksville and Mooresville, with connections to Char- lotte, and to Spartanburg, S. C. The business men of Charlotte held a meeting Tuesaday evening, and adepted a resolu- tion inviting the directors to run their read to Charlotte, pledging themselves to endeavor to, secure material ..aid,. &c. ‘There was a meeting appointed to be held at Statesville yesterday, with reference to the route for the road, and in the in- terest of Statesville. The main point, to wit: the building of the read, seeins to be settled ; and se fur as we can see at pres- ent, there is nothing likely to prevent it. It is a subject involving weighty conse- quences*to our town .and will doubtless receive the attention it deserves. —_—— OO ee a The disturbances: in’ Russia have not been subdued by- the execution of the murderers of the Czar.. The Nihilists seem more determined and desperate thaa ever, and are menacing the life of the new Czar. The asseciation perimeats all ranks from the highest to the lowest; and the seizure and imprisonment or the execu- tion of suspected persons intimidates no one nor seems to diminish the number. Itis thought nothing short of granting a eonstitational form of government can pave the Emperor from the fate of his father. % Tue Deap-Locx.—Mr. Blair offered the following resolution in the Senate on Tuesday, to wit: Ce Resolved, That in the judgement of the Senate, public interest requires that Con- gress be conveued in public session im- mediately. Mr. Blair said be offered it merely as information at this time. Subsequently he said the business affairs of this conn- try were growing larger every year, and he thought continuous sessions of Con- gress would be po more than adequate to the consideration of public questions. He said De Lesseps was digging his (Panama) canal to-day, and it was becoming a vest- ed right; and unless it was stopped now by some action of Congress, it would never be stopped except by war. And there were other considerations why Con- gress should be called in extra session. It is intimated that this is the plan by which the republicans will seek to break the dead-lock in the Sanate. oro Oooo “Wer or Dry.”—The Charlottes Ob- server of the 19th, shows that the good people of the rising city have a lively time on the subject of Probibiton. The Prohibitionists have a well organized and working Association, comprising among its membership many of the most promi- nent citizens. They held a stirring meet- ing on the night of the 18th, to ratify the pomipations for mayor and’ aldermen. Capt. 'T. S. Vail was chairman, and Col. C. R. Jones, Secretary. Col. Ham Jones, as chairman of the Executive Committee reported the following ticket which he advocated in an able speech, viz: Hon. F. S$. Wolfe, for Mayor; C. Scott, C. A. Frazier, R. M. Miller, John L. Brown, Wm. Houser, A. P. Hunter, D. W. Oats, H. Edwards, A. W. Calvin, John Wilkes, E. K. P. Osborne and D. P. Hutchinson, for aldermen. The meeting was address- ed by Mr. Wolfe, Col. J. P. Thomas, Hon. R. Y. MeAden, Col. H. C. Jones, Bishop T. H. Lomax, Rev. Mr. Price, Chas. R. Jones, Esq., and-several others. “The Wets” held a meeting at the same time in the public square of the city, and was addressed by Col. William Johnston. | He declared that he was honestly opposed to prohibition and to the prohibition law of the last Legislature, though not oppes- ed to temperance. He said there would be no tears shed for the women and chil- dren who suffer by stopping the manutac- ture and sale of liquors, of whem from 40,000 to 80,000 were dependent for sup- port on the business; that Dr. Mott has 250 men employed in the business who receive annuaily about $225,000 which is scattering around among the people. That it would injure the business of Charlotte, and tend to increase crime. This meeting was composed of negroes, in the proportion of about three to one, and was cheered by the music of the ne- gro band. It terminated suddenly: a half-drunk and wretched victim of intem- perance got up to speak when a negro boy pulled the box from under him and ran. +> There are two important problems to be solved within the next few months, or years at the most, by the.scientific men of the ceuntry, and upon which they are now laboring, viz: ‘To prove that steam ougiues, for the ocean, for railroads, and for many other purposes, can be run at less expense by fluid petroleum than by coal or wood. It has been said that four dollars worth of petrolenm can be made to du the work of from sixteen to twenty dollars worth of coal; but the experiments in this direction have as yet been ona sinall scale. The other question, now on trial in Washington city, by Mr. Gamgee, the inventor of what.he calls the Zero- Motor, is to determine whether or not machinery cannot be propelled by gase- ous ammonia, which requires no heat, and consequently no consumption of coal, wood, or any other substance. President Garfield and other dignitaries of the city have inspected the engine of Gangee and aré of the opinion it isa success. But time and real work are the best proofs, and these alone can establish the value of new things of this natnre. an -0-<@> 6 <a The Newbernian claims that Newsbern is the principal corn market of the State. She keeps her railroad busy carrying it off. Shad are stilla little scarce, as compared with other seasons, buat plenty is no name for herrivgs. The seins are catching all that can be wished for. The same paper says “there are now 12 inexhaustible artesian wells in our city. It is the intention of the authorities to double their number, as it is cheaper to bore wells than to buy hose for our en- gines. The pea crop is a subject of en- grossing interest among the “truckers,” around the city, and fears are entertain- ed of damage to it by the severity of the weather some weeks ago.—The Irish potato crop is looked forward to with high expectations. A very large crop was planted. Craven county is becoming a vast truck garden. Think of it: her truckers sowed 600 pounds of graddish seed this spring, and other kinds in proportion. ——_—_—~_»—____ The disturbance caused by a misunder- standing between the Rev.

He has completed it, and it is now in the hands of the Appleton’s of New York, to be: printed. A few leaves with the preface have fallen into the hands of the Mem- phis Appeal, from which it has copied extracts. From these its perceived that Mr. Davis has not ehanged his views of the strugrle in which he bore so promi- nent apart. He adheres to the belief that by the terms of the compact be- tween the States the sovereiguty of each } was reserved, and that the powers not. expressly delegated to the general gov- | ernment remained with them as sover- | eign communities. ‘In his preface he says: ‘‘In all fres gavernment the con- stitution or organic law is supreme over the government, and in our federal Union this was most distinctly marked by limi- tations and prohibitions against all which was beyoud the expressed grants of pow- er to the general goverment. In the foreground, therefore, 1 take the position that those whi resisted violations of the compact were the true friends, and those who maintained the usurpation of un- delegated powers’ were the real e1iemies of the constitutional Union.” The style is extremely simple and easy, and we think it safe to say the book will stand at the head of all the histories of the war yet published. ee OO CLEARED.~-Beaumount B. Burke, a Texas Student, at West Point who, it will be remembered, shot’ and killed John G. Thompson, Jr., of Ohio, also a Student at the same institution, in June last, has been acquitted, The cadets have had a fashion, at West Point, of subject new students to all sorts of hardships, crosses and indignities. Burke, it seems, sab- mitted to it until submission ceased to bea virtue. He moved his boarding house and quit school to get clear of the wrongs intlicted upon him, of which Tompson was the principal author. But when pursued to his new quarters with insults, taunts and threats, he fired the fatal shot, and the jury trying the case have acquitted him. atte a> Kittep.—Arthur Foster, in Massa- chusetts. Arthur and his twin brother, aged 21, entered the house of Abiel Wil- son, on the night of the 13th inst., for the purpose of robbing, and went prepared for desperate work. Mr. Wilson heard them in the house and when they burst open his chamber door he fired on them with a rifle. They fled, bat the dead body of Arthur, who it is said was pre- paring for the ministry, was found a short distance from the heuse. The sur- viving brother made a confession of the facts as related. Wilson hada large amount of valuables under ro other pro- tection than his rifle. _-— a.

County Commiasioners are legally authorized to refuse all applica- tions for licenses to sell. In response to commissioners of Mecklenburg county passed the folowing resolution : Resolved, That this board will refuse to graut license to retail spirituous liquors toany and all applicants, being of the opinion that such refusal would prove a saving to taxpayers of this county in the way of costs incurred in the prosecution of crime and the support of pauperisi. As by the revenve law bo Heense ean be granted for leas than a year, it would seem that thia conrse which is strictly lawful and proper, is also expedient. we are to havea fair expression of the people at the polls in August next, and the law if ratified by the people is to bet come promptly operative, every board of of Meckleburz. Do COUNT.” Read what Gov. Vance has to say on this new repablieau watchword, to-wit: Mr. President, Dr. Johnson is credited with sayiug that patriotism is ihe last refuge of a scoundrel. So it would seem to me that leaving Bonrbonism and turn- ing their faces toward the dawa, is) the last refuge of a needy and dissatisfied pol- itician iv Virginia; and however much of eloquence the eepublican Senators here may undeitake to pour apon this transac- tion, after aii is simply aun endeavor as was candidly ceoniessd by the Senator trom Ohie [Mr Sherman] to stay and strengthen the hauds of a waning party majority. Thatis what is the matter. ‘They say they want a free ballot and a fair count, and that is to be the watch- word. Mr. President, when did that free bal- lot and fair count become necessary ? Has it not always been necessary ? The honorable Senator from Virginia says that he fell out with the Bourbons some years ago, and if there was any cheating of the people in regard to their votes any- where in Virginia it must have been dove some tive tor there has been no election there fur over six months, and how does it happen that vow for the first time this question of a free ballot and fair count becomes necessary to be intro- duced to the American people t [have noticed—perhaps my powers of observa- tion may be at faunit—that a man gener- ally supports his weakest point. If a man is conscious of any particular defect in his character, he is always trying to fool his neighbors in regard to that; and that is why a coward is generally a buily. You will observe that old farmers going arouud their plantation in the spring of the year dv not lay rails up where the fence 1s high enoug:. They lay them up on the low places. The commander of a fortress always strengthens the weakest point, and it is said that the strength of a forti- fication is equal to the strength of its weakest point. So when I hear the lead- ers of the republican party iu this coun- try break ont ona fresh trail for a_ free ballot and a fair count, Latways look out for some extraordinary outrage upon the ballot- box. Why, Mr. President, you remember very well that the words which rang through this country like the sound of a trumpet, “Let us have peace,” just pre- ceeded the time when all the Southern States were deluged with troops. And again it was announced and paraded with another sound of trampets in regard to the election of 1876, that neither candi- date could afford to be counted in by fraud, and that preceeded the great, gi- gantic, clirsacteric fraud of eight to seven. Always look out when a politician turns reformer. There is something going to happen just as sure as time permits it to happen. Now the cry of “a free ballot aud a fair count” I say is raised by the republican party either because they can not raise anything else, or becaase some extraordipary outrage upon the ballet box and the freedom of the citizens of the South is in contemplation. I have heard it whispered that they were going to raise committees to go down South and overturn a number of elections down there and unseat fifteen or twenty per- haps of the Representatives from that sec- tion. I do not knew whether that is real- ly so or not; but I think it would have been so if the President had seen proper to call an extra session of Congress. At all events I warn the people of my coun- try so far as my voice can go that instead of this being an alliance fer the purpose of promoting the purity of the ballot-box and the freedom of the citizen, it is an attempt onee more to subject the people of the Southern States—whv have been freed long enough now to aceumalate a little maney—to subject them once more | to the domination of the carpet-bag rule, ugo, , a The North Carolina Presbyterian: It a request from the central committee of the Prohibition Convention the board of if | commissioners should follow the example | of May, 13s. “A PREE BALLOT AND A FAIR | DERMALT BiG | in order that their little savings in the mean time may be gobbled up for the benefit of “loyalty!” That is what I think it means.—Speech in the Senate, April 7. : ee The Charlotte Observer, the Monree Enquirer and the Greensboro Patriot, all report that the blackberry crop has been spoild by the severe cold of the late win- ter, in their respective seetions.

He expresses himself as per- |fectly satisfied with the country as min- jeral bearing. He examined the Crowell, and saysthat ithasa formation very like the Bodie district in California. We learn that his report on that property will be very flattering. ne HENRY TREXLER MINE. This property lies six miles, a little south of east, from Salisbury, on the Bringle Ferry road. It is owned by Mr. John H. Enniss, of Salisbury, and the heirs of Henry Trexler. The property was worked before the war by Col. Chas. F. Fisher and Henry Simonton. They sunk a shaft some sixty feet taking out quartz and sulpharet ores which yielded them from thirty-five to forty dollars per ton. Others estimate the ores at a great- er value. The vein is from eighteen inches to two feet wide, and was on the improve when the war caused work to cease. Mr. Enniss is having the shaft re- ‘opened, preparatory for work. It lies in | the ‘gold belt,’ and is considered valua- | ble. | as | HENDERSON COUNTY MINES.

This mine is paying heavy dividends. ——— _ An exchange says: Among all its wealth in minerals, the United States cannot reckon tin. Wales furnishes most of what is used in onr country. Ata recent meeting of the Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, Mr. Carri] Lewis, a young scientist, but already of considerable celebrity, exhibited a small piece of tin ore, said to be found in Surry county, North Carelina. The fact that it was a genuine native pro- duct, was, however, réceived by the body with some hesitation. BP CEA EIS EE RAPE CT CL EES Te Mayor and Commissioners of Salisbury: The undersigned, appointed at the reg- ular meeting in February, to draft reso- lutions of thanks, as indicated below, re- spectfully beg leave to report: Resolved: That the thanks of this body, and through us the thanks ef the citizens of Salisbury, are due, and are hereby warmly tendered te Col. A. B. Andrews, of the R. & D. Rail Road, for free trans- portation of a large quantity of fire wood, and te Major J. R. McMurdo, of the W. N.C. R. R., for furnishing at cost at sev- eral times, large quantitics of fuel, for the use of our citizens during the recent severe weather, when we were cut off from our usual supplies, exposed to the rigors of an almost Arctic winter. Much real distress was relieved by these kindly and charitable acts of Col. Andrews and Major McMurdo, and dire suffering, which ocherwise must have been inevitalle, was thereby prevented. In view of these facts we feel warranted in saying that our peo- ple will ever entertain the warmest feel- ings of friendship and gratitude towards these gentlemen, and it affords us pleas- ure, as their representatives, to give ex- pression to these sentiments. . Resolved: That engrossed copies of these reselutions be forwarded to Col. Andrews and Major McMurdo, and that copies be furnished the Watchman and Examiner with a request for publication.

Adam Stirewalt, a eelored simple- ton, also charged with lareeny, submit- ted, and judgment was suspended on payment of costs, The amount of fines imposed was $503. Qnite a number were putin jail for non- nayment ef costs, and the Court made an order directing the Connty Conmissioners | t es | —_ to faria out all such, in accordance with law, until all fines and costs were paid. The docket was much larger than at any former term: of this conrt, and, from the amount ef business before the Grand Jury, itis probable that it will be still larger at the October tern. The grand and petit juries were both held diving the entire week, but at no time was an entire talis jury summoned, and only ina few instances were one or two summoned when some of the regalar panel were excused.

Indeed, so well kuown is Soluble Pacific Guano, that we have almost ceased to issue cireulars except for Gistribution in the more remote districts and in those recently opened to Railroad transportation. Although we have thousands of testimonials as to the value of Soluble Pacific Ga- ano, we will only publish below a few from some of the leading farmers ef this and adjoining counties, which will serve to stimulate inquiry among those who have not used it, and will result in seenring favorable persoual testimony from its old patrons to those who are desirous of learning its results in the past, which results, combia- ed with the solid reputation of the Pacific Guano Company, are a sufficient guaran- tee that the standard will be strictly maintained in the future. —:0:——— TESTIMONTALS: J.

Parts will be crushed quite fine and some will remain in inch pieces. They may be applied to the soil for all ordinary crops, especially for turnips; in this partly broken state, with profit: It is still better, however, to reduce them to a finer state, by fermentation in a compost heap, or by treating with wood ashes. If they are put into a cask and mixed with alternate layers of wood ashes, and kept moist, they will soon go to pieces, and the fine mixture will havé a large accession of potash and be made niovre valuable and better adapted to crops that want a geod deal uf potash. If wood ashes are not convenient, the bones may be fermented in a compost heap with good garden soil. Put them into any fermenting mass of vegetable or ani- mal matter, and the bones will add to the heat and become very fine, After fermentation is over, the whole mass should be shovelled over, and in- timately mixed, and it may be spread broadcast or put in the hill as a con- centrated mauure. money. This way is good enough, though it requires more time than the reduction of bone by sul- phuric acid, which costs money; and requires more careful handling. We have used bones in all these methods, with great profit, for thirty years, and expect to use them while we cat the fruits of the garden; Never throw away any of the bones: <-> — Regularity of Meals, Ifa person should eat his dinner to-day at 12 o’clock,; to-morrow at 2 and the next at 3, and continue in this irregular manner for a ceuple of weeks, his nervous system would be- come entirely deranged, for the reason that the individual has prevented this natural tendency of the nerves to| have a fixed periodic time to demand the food, and as a consequence from such irregularity indigestion is the result and on account of intimate connection of the nerves and the brain, & very serious und detrimental effect upon the latter is produced, eausing mental inactivity and loss of memorv, But on the ether hand, if we should eat our dinner to-day at 12, to- row and the next day at the same hour, we will find that this periodicity has been established, and the little messengers, the nerves, will warn us exactly at 12 that our regular peried hasarrived.

These king snakes here live on garter snakes, which we pick up handy here on the river banks and inthe woods. I generally go ona foraging expedition about once a week. Here’s the rattlers; they fanéy miice. We give little boys two cents apitce for allthey bring. Sometimes the rattlers gét a bird by way of a treat; All the others live on birds and mice, except this indigo snake. He has a partiality for toads and land lizzards, and the youngsters generally keep him well supplied and earn an honest penny by thé operation. “That fellow once cciled around my leg and sent his teeth into the muscles before I could say ‘boo.’ What did Ido? Just gripped him below the head until he opened his mouth, and held him so until I had unwound the whole ten feet of him. I had a bad limb of it after, though, I tell you. Another time, while I was doctoring a rattlesnake, he got me by the thumb and gave me a nasty bite. That time, also, I was very sick, but, as you gee, I’m here yet. “Do they know me? Guess dot. I don’t belivee they havea bit of in- telligence. For all I feed them and care for them, they weuld as lief bite meas any stranger. I can handle a good many of them safely, but its’s oily the knack of the thing—not that they won’t bite, but that they can’t get the chance.

Men and boys have been praised for “burn- ing the midnight{oil.” Now; the “mid- night oil” isa delusion and a snare; The student who is fast asleep at 11 o’clock every night and wide awake at sevant o'dlivk every morning is go- ing to surpass another student of the same intellectual ability who goes to bed after twelve and rises before five. In sletp the plate on which the pic- ture is to be is receiving its chemical preparation, and it is plain that that which is the best prepared will take the best piettte: “Men who are the fastest asleep when they are asleep are the widest awake when they are awake. Great workers are great resters. Every man who has clerks in his employ ought to know what their sleeping habits are. The young man who is up till two, three and four o’clock in the morning, and must put in his appearance at the bank or store at nine or ten o’clock, and work all day, cannot repeat this process many days without a certain shakiness com- ing into his System; which he will en- deavor to steady by some delusive stimulous, It is in this way that many a young man begins his course to ruin. He need not necessarily have been in bad company. He has lost his sleep ; and losing sleep is los- ing strength and grace, “Here is the outline of the histo- ry of a suicide within my own knowl- edge: A young nian; a stranger in New York, in a good situation, ina large boarding-house, has pleasant young companions; spends his eve- nings out; goes to midnight parties, fidm tleven to seven; if his nerves become disturbed, then a little drink; a littlé mistake in business—another drink ; repreof from employer—more drink ; meré mistakes, loss of situa- tion, no help from frivolous compat - ions, money all gone, then turned out of the boarding-house, wandering in the streets, mortification, desperation —shoots himself. “Now, it does not this; but all people slecp are somewhere along this line. They are semewhere in the rapids. “We must begin a reform in this department. People who “call and profess themselves Christians” must refuse te go out in the evening to any amusement, to any etitertainment, to any religious exervises, from whieh they cannot leave at ten o'clock, and be in their beds at eleven.

From Senator Vanee’s Speech, What North Carolina Did—A_ Lesson Luught by the North. At the veginning of the war in 1861, the taxable proje.ty of the State of North Carolina, upoa which this debt was based, amounted to $225,000,000. I have not been abie to obtain in this city, as I expected, the official docu- ments of the State Department of North Carolina, and I state it from memory at $225,000,000, $100,000-, 000 of which was slave property. When the Legislature passed the act I have just had read by the Secretary, the slave property of course was gone, aud the real estate and all the remain- der of the property that had been tax- able was much diminished in value, so that it can be said with truth that the taxable property of the State at that time amounted to about $100-, 000,000, not more. In 1868 further provision was made for funding the accumulated interest that hud not been paid; and in the same year, another session of the Legislature, the maturing bonds were funded. It was also provided that they should bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent, until provision was made for their payment; so that up to the year 1868 every act that an impoverished and almost ruined people could per- form fur the discharge of their obli- gations was done, and was adhered to as faithfully as was in our power. In 1868, hewever, there came what was known as reconstruction. The four- teenth amendment was submitted to the people of North Carolina, and it was announced that unless that amend- ment was adopted the State could not be re-admitted to the Union. The fourteenth amendment contained a provision that North Carolina should repudiate all of her debt contracted directly or indirectly in aid of the re- bellion. So we had either to remain out of the Uniow under the control of the militia which was placed over us by the reconstruction acts, or we had toadopt the fourteenthamendment and drink thischalice of repudiation which was firstputto ourlips. Iannounce repudiate any of her obligations. In the course of two hundred and ninety years, since the ships of Walter Ral- eigh dropped their anchors in Hate. teras Inlet and the first man of the Indo Germanic race ever beheld her glorious forests and her rivers and her bays, for the first time North Caroli- na was compelled to be recreant to her plighted faith; and that she then did so at the dictation of the loyal non-repudiating, debt-paying, honest and virtuous people of the North— the republican party of the North! I speak of those who controlled the North, of course. I commend the fact, Mr. President, to the consideration of gentlemen upon tlie other side. What was repudiated by that section of the fourteenth an endment which we were compelled to adopt in our ewn constitution, aud whieh was adopted by the Legislature which was elected under the reconstruction acts? Not only all of the debt pro- perly created by the State of North Carolina in aid ef the war, (of that we could not so much complain,) but the bonds issued in support of the government of the State during the period of the war had found their way and intercourse among our people.

A dispatch from Washington says: Governor Holden, of North Carolina, arrived here to-day. It will be re- membered that when the Democrats obtained possession of the Legislature of North Carolina they iinpoached and removed Gov.

Grant and reappointed by Mr. Hayes. He was a few weeks s nce nominated by Gen. Garfield for auother term, but subsequently his nomination was withdrawn and the name of Mr. dno. Nichols substitated. This, it is gen- erally considered, was due to the in- fluence of Judge Tourece, who lived in the same Congressional district with Gen.

To begin, we will call the hero Debray and the young lady whose name figures in this narrative, we sfigll catl Nellie, though he was enjoying a good practice in his profession of law. Besides owning some property of no mean value, which, together with the fruits of his own work, made his fortune easy, and gave him prominence among mothers, asa fine parti for their unmarried daughters. Our bero fell desperately in love with the beautiful and only daughter of a wealthy retired merchant who lived at a magnificent country residence a few miles from the city in which Debray resided. The course of their true love ran smooth, and being called off on a business voyage to West India, I never gavea thought to my friend, other than that I consider him hap- py and blessed beyond the lot of most of us poor male mertals, I was away for three years and it being night when I arrived in ny native city, in- stead of seeking my paternal roof, I put up at the hotel. Feeling a weary from my long travel T repaired to the saloon, which, on account of the lateness of the hour, was quite deserted. The bar-keeper and a gen- tleman were conversing and while sipping my toddy } listened in wonder and surprise m the follawing story : ‘You promised to tell me about Debray, Dick,’ said the stranger to the bar-keeper. "Yes, yes,’ said Dick, ‘as soon as I finish waiting on thia gentleman,’ I begged him to proceed and that if he had no objection I would be delighted to hear the story myself, No objection being raised, after lighting our segars and taking comfortable seats, the bar-keeper related as follows: ‘Yes, [knew Debray, and when I knew him at first, there was a sort of particular pleasing general air about him which the French call ‘debonair’ Nature had shaped him on a plan most liberal, had given him good looks, good language and manners that were expressive both of the gentleman and of the student. Ile was not stuck up by any means tho’ it was difficult to put him down, He was voted agreeable and jelly “and was sought after by all of the entertainers in the city. At first he was in the habit of coming in at night and T assure you that I liked him se, T always spread myself to mix his drinks all O. K. Now, gentlemen, I admire a judi- cious indulgence in the liquid, though it is a& poison at once complete and entire for some folks; it is a bully companion, but as a boss it is the devils own chum, Now Debray commenced to increase his doses at such arate he was floored in his wrestle with rum and I was grieved to see him run down hill without putting on breaks and lectured him some times even at the risk of losing my trade. Well he went on and on till he got powerful seedy in his appearance and seemed to have lest all of his high notions of honor and sclf-re- spect. At times he would stop to think and would become dreadful remorsefui and swear to reform himself but it ended by his tak- ing another drink, Now you want to know what saved that young fellow. Well, it wasa woman. De- bray came into the saloon one evening—he had not been drinking that day—and_tak- ing a seat by the table, commenced yroan- ing and calling himself a gone sinner. He was thinking and cursing his luck but it ended as usual by his ordering a glass of whiskey. Ife was holding the glass in his fingers when a young girl, like a spirit with a face wonderful sweet, glided in awl going up to the table took the glass cently away from Debray, saying to him, ‘George it is ever, Tain only “a woman and I coine to you to-day lowly and meek, for I rejected you when I was angry. I thought I was strong my darling but I am weak, and cannot live without you. I come to share with you the terrible bondage with which you are bound. I shall be true to my love and if there is shame in the deed, I will bear it. I have turned from the honie of my childhood, leaving comfort, content- ment and honor; I have come to you and will stay to the end however terrible it may be. I will share hunger and want with you; we will join together in the pleasures and dangers of drink,’ then she raised the glass firmly, and with a face pale as death, said, ‘Here’s to wine and the joy of carou- sals, the songs and laughter.’ Debray sprang up looking like a tempest and taking the glass from her hand, he sav- agely dashed it away. His manner was stern though grand, as he said: ‘I have done with it Nelly, so help me God, I will turn from the ways I have been going and live to be worthy of you.’ It is needless for me te attempt to relate last. The stab is from behind, and, Dr. Gordon says, entered the langs. The un- fortunate affair ig the result of whiskey. } man for hearing Bar-keeper Dick’s story.

From the Asheville Citizen. Our Franklin correspondent, under data of Monday, gives us the following item : “I am informed that Rédmond, the colebrated-ontiaw, of Swain county has _ been arrested, was severely wounded, and will die soon if not dead by this time. He was at his house when some revenue offi- cers went to arrest him. They had con- cealed themselves in the bushes near the house, but wassoon detected by Red- e mond’s dogs that began to bark, where- upon Redmond took his gun and went to investigate the matter, when he was hailed by the party to “halt,” but imme- diately raising his gun to shoot was fired - - upon instantly by the officers, whose balls took effect, and will in all preba- bility result in his death.” Since putting the above in type, we learn Redinond was carried, after being shet, to Charleston, where he died on Friday. He said to Ray, whoshot him: “You have shot me. I never surrendered and never would have done so.” For several years Redmond has been living a peaceful life farming on the Tennessee River some twenty miles below Franklin. He desired to be let alone and to be per- initted to live an honest life. An aveng- ing Nemises followed him, and the vio- lence which he visited upon others hag been visited on him. a ae The Mound-Builders. The mound-builders were a race of people very different in their habits and modes oflife from the Indians who oceu- pied all the country at the time of the adveut of the whites. They are now re- garded as a distinct and extinct race. Of their histery very little is known, ex- cept what can be gathered from the mounds and walls which they built; wost of these-are made of earth or gravel. They are usually found overgrewn by living and decaying trees, from which we have the proof that they have been aban- doned atleast 1,000 years. We have proof also that the mound builders work- ed the copper mines of Lake Saperior, lead mines near Lexington, Ky., and oil wells iu Canada and Pensylvania. The remains of the mound builders are spread over a vast extent of country. They are found in the sources of the Alleghany, in western parts of the State of New York ; and in nearly all of the Westera States, <2 including Michigan and Iowa. They line the shores of the Gulf of Mexico from Texas to Florida, whence they ex- tend through Alabama and Georgia, into South Carolina. From all the facts kaowan little more can be said than this: That. the valley of the Mississippi and Atlantic coast were once densely populated by a sedentary, agricultural aud partially eivi- lized race, quite different from the modern Indians, though possibily the 4 regeni- tors of some of the Indian tribes; that after many ceuturies of occupation they disappeared from our country, at least Has saved many a failing business ; the rest. ; A few days ago I saw Debray loeking Has preserved miny a large business ; ' And secures success in any business. 1,000, perhaps many thousand years be- fore the advent of the Europeans.

Aud yetit is the Southern brigadiers who carry plantation manuers about with them! = ><> W uatT 1s Ir?—Some of our native white Republicans have latterly become politi- cally virulent towards their own race of the Democratic party. They utter and publish bald falsehoods against the Dem- ocrats as if it were God service. What does it mean? Who can e:plain it? Gov. Vance said in the Senate, the other day, that whenever we heard slanderous charges against the Democrats, we might look out for rascality coming from those who raised the howl. It is doubtless true. They are planing some wickednes, and they have taken into the scheme the scallawags amongst us. . — 2 re Recent facts show that the smallest number of convicts in our State prisons, proportionately, is in Maine, where liquor selling is prohibited. While New York has one convict to every 1,400 of papula- tion, Vermont 1 to 1,300, New Hampshire 1 to 1,900, Connecticut | to 2,100 an& Massachusetts 1 to 2,200, Maine has but 1 to 3,200. Furthermore, but three out of every 1,000 in Lowel, were arrested in a given period in the prohibjtery towus of Auburn and Lewiston, Me., while there were 16 in 1,000 in the semi-prohibitory city of Bangor, and 30 of every 1,000 in Lowell, where liquor is licensed. But still more emphatic is the fact that while the tax on the wanufacture and saie of liquors is $1.40 for each person in the United States, in Maiue it is only three cents a head. , >< The Milledgeville (Ga.) Recorder, in a satirical strain, warns the farmers of Georgia against planting all cotton. The cotton crop of the present year is large— toe large by 500,000, aud next year it will be larger. This is the way the Lecorder talks, and there is wisdom in its meaning: “Oh, yes, farmer, cotton is king! A mer-.- chant in this city sold some eptton in Savannah last week at 4} that he bought last September, and lost $20 per bag on it. But cotton is king. Meat is 10 cents cash, corn going up gradually, cottou is down ; but the farmers don’t heed such trifles as these ; cotton is just the thing, of course ; men and women and children and horses and mules can eat cotton and grow fat on it. Put in more cotton, farm- ers! Four or five cents now, who knows but that it will open next fall at three cents? Plant more cotten, plant all cot- fou, aud get rich.” - The National Republican stupidly pre- tends to believe that southern eommani- ties are senselessly prejudiced against northern people coming to live among them. In the present state. of sectional feeling it is no doubt true that this feeling of prejudice exists to some extent both north and south. Avy reader of Wad- deli’s letters will laugh at the idea of there being more of it in onr section than in the perth, White people are the same the world over, and the English-speaking portion of them a little more 80. Numer- ous instances could be recited to show the prejudice of northern people against the soutbrons, But sach cases, north or South are exceptional. Upright and clev- er people rarely have just occasion to complain of their treatment in new homes. Their habits of thought and conduct may differ in some respects from their neigh- bors and cause slight embarrassments for a while; but eommon kinship and human sympathy soou override prejudice with nothing to sustain it, and their new friends often become their best. aa a “Spar Routes,” &c.—Assistant Post- master Brady, is implicated in sta- pendous frauds in the management of of- ficial business with contractors ou routes other than those who carry mails over railroads. Fraudulent routes, and fraud- ulent representations of mail service in numerous instances, runping up iuto the millions in amount, have been discovered, aud Assistant Brady isin trouble. The present Postmaster General James, has ferretted out these frauds, which though long suspected, have hitherto escaped de- tection. It is said the I'weed ring in its palmiest days did not exceed in enormity the operations of the Post Office ring in plundering the public treasury. $$ Among all of the political speeches that have been evoked by the dead-lock in the Senate, says the Raleigh News & Observer, none have been wore oratorical aud im- passioned than that delivered by Senator Vest, of Missouri, on last Monday. It is indeed a specimen of eloquence rarely met with in Senatorial deliberations. In diétion, thought and beauty of language it compares favorably with any speeches delivered in Congress since the Southern Senators left Washington twenty-three years ago. It was indeed a telling speech, and no less remarkable for point than fur eloquence. We make three extracts. Speaking of the bargain between Mahone and the Radicals, he said: “A coalition exists here, open, notorious and unblushing. A coalition based upon community of principle and mutuality of opinion is legitimate. Parties based up- on mutuality of opinion and of principle between their members are legitimate parties, and command the respect, if not the admiration of mankind; but a coali- tion without mutuality of opinion or prin- ciple is contrary to public morality, and should be devounced by every fair-minded and right-thinking man. Where a coali- tion is made simply for power, for office, without community or matuality of opin- ion or of interest, it verges upon a corrupt coalition, if it is notagtually one. When the younger Pitt stood upon the floor of thé Heuse of Commans and denounced the coalition between the Lord North and Chatles James Fox asa damnable and incestious union, and said, ‘In the nanre of the people of Great Britain 1 forbid the banus,’ the whole civilized world said ‘amen’ to that denunciation, and the peo- ple of Great Britian did forbid the banns. They stamped that damnable and incest- nous union under their feet. North and Fox went into retirement, and Pitt as— sumed control of the government. Of all the statesmen, in my judgement, whose names emblazon with glory the pages of English history, the name of Charles James Fox is the first. But he, advocate of human rights; hero of the truth, orator, statesman, and soldier in civil warfare, ever at the front, even he, with his great name aud talents, was stricken down by that fair-minded instinct for consistency, fair play which courses in the blood of all Anglo-Saxon people.” In the course of his defense of the Southern States from the charge of rrpu- djiation he answered Sherman, who had asked when and where had the Republi- caus ever even proposed repudiation, in the following style: “Now, by my troth, these be gallant words. When or where, says the Senator from Ohio, did any community ever re- pudiated when under the control of the Republican party? The Senator read here from a book prepared by a federal official, one Mr. Porter, that $1380,000,000 of State debt had been repudiated in the South. Why Mr. President, does he not well know, do not the records of the fed- eral courts show, that in the Northwest- erp States over 100,000,000 of municipal securities have been ropudiated and are to-day repudiated ? Who does not know that the most terrible financial conflict that ever came off upon this contineut was in the State of Iowa between the people who repudiated their obligations there and the federal tribunals, and that struggle at last came even to the climax the United States, threatened to use the army of the Union in order to enforce the mandates of the federal tribunals. Has the Senator never heard of the Macoupin county bouds of Illinois, the Otoe bonds of Nebraska, the Clarke county bonds of Iowa, the bouds in my own State of Mis- souri, amounting to over $80,000,000 Over $100,000,000 of securities in Hlinois, in Iowa, in Nebraska, in Minnesota, in Missouri, in Kansas have been repudiat- ed, and to-day the struggle is going on between the bondholders in the East and the people of those municipalities in re- gard to the paymerft of those debts ; and yet the distinguished Senator stands here and says no Republican community ever repodiated! Hus he read the history of the State debt of Minveseta? Has the Senator never heard of the repudiation of $5,000,000, the entire debt of that State, which exports in one single year eighty million bushels of wheat ?” His conclusion is in these words; “Mr. President, where is the consisten- cy of this great party that controls the government? Gentlemen, yon have to- day, by accident, control of the organiza- tion of this Senate ; you have planted the flag of Democratic Virginia in the midst its hereditary foes. Sir, there is a legend amonvg the Northmen of the olden time of a Danish king whose banner had waved in triumph over a hundred stricken tields till at last he fell in defense of it with his L fierce warriors around him. His heredi- 80 that General Grant, then President of]; tary foemen seized that batthe-flag and bore it off in triumpb, and at t, with wipe and wassail, his foes eele their unexpected victory. The wine flowed red and the song rose high areand the flag that hang mournfully and sullenly in their midst. Suddenly a hash eame over that baud of revelers. In their midst stood the form of the dead king, and his spirit hand seized that flag and tore it away from his hereditary fues forever. Sir, if the gallant living of Virginia (and she has thonsands as brave as apy that ever rode through shot and shell and sabre-stroke) do not in the coming fall redeem this fag, dear to me as my ewn honor, becanse in Virginia rest the ashes of my fathers—if her gallant living ¥e- deem not this flag from where it stands to-day, polluted by the grasp of those who have always traduced and slandered it, I would expect, under Ged, that the awful majesty of Jefferson himself, father of the Democratic party, would darken this hall and with spirit band wrest that banner from those who have always hated it and give it to loving hands.” J ———$—$< i aire ae Small pox and typhus fever are rather prevalent in New York eity.

EO OS Our esteenied contemporary, the New York Times, printed, yesterday, a letter from one of its correspondents, giving an interesting account of an interview with Gen. L. A. Sheldon, t2e@ second self of Gen. Garfield. Among the subjects dis- cussed was Senator Mahone, of Virginia. “T understand,” said Gen. Sheldon, “that he and his friends do not want to go back to Virginia to do battle in the coming campaign and have their opponents taunting them with the remark, You have gone over to the Republican party, and have nothing to show in return.” This then, is Senator Mahone’s standard of political morality; he is not only ready to barter : principles for offices, but he is not asham- ‘ed of the trade! On the contrary, he ' glories in it, and is anxious to make pub- ‘lie exhibition to his friends of the consid- jeration for which he sold himself! We ‘know that when the slave auction block used to exist at Richmond, the poor ‘slaves, when put up fer sale, took a pride lin bringing a high price; but we never , heard before that this feeling extended to i any of the white men of Virginia. +--+ Escare OF Convicts.—We learn that last Tuesday a gang of a dozen convicts at work ov the Western North Carolina Railroad, beyond Asheville, overpowered the guards, seized the guns and mado a rush for liberty. Another gnard at seme distance, saw the break and fired on the flying men, killing one. Pursuit of the others was at once made, and all save one captured. There have not been many escapes of convicts recently on this road.-— News & Observer. a eS Ex-President Hayes is said to be em- ploying his leisure time in writing a his— tory of his administration. -__—_-~.-—- Foop for the Brain and Nerves that will invigerate the body without intoxi- cating is what we need in these days of rush and worry.

They are taking out brown and sulphuret ores showing free gold without a glass. They are working thirteeu hands, and have sunk a shaft forty feet, and are working on across cut. This is entirely new, never having been worked betore, and was formerly known as the Wormington plantation, nine miles from Salisbury. nena ae North Carolina. Alex. Del Mar, M.E., has returned from a professional visit to the gold mines of North Carolina, during the course of which he examined the miues of Gold Hill, Crow- ell Hill, and Kimball Hill, besides taking a general survey of the gold-bearing lo- calities throughout the State. He expres- ses himself as much pleased with the miuing resources of the vicinity. Many portions.of the country greatly resemble the foot-hill sections of California—the saine furragenous alluviam, the same gravel beds, the same quartz ledges crop- ping out all over the land, the same veg- etation and the same climate. Labor and supplies are, however, so much cheaper in North Carolina than California, as to greatly enhance the capacity of the first named State to produce gold under eco- uoimical couditions. Next week, we ex- pect to be able to print some field notes of Mr. Del Mar’s interesting journey.— NV. OY. Mining Record, April 23d. —— D0 om GERMAN UM MIGRANTS LOOKING FOR DESIRABLE ILOMES IN ROWAN. Mr. J. R. Maemurdo, general passen- ger agent of the Westeru railroad, receiv— edon last Saturday, the following tele- gram: New York, April 23, 1331. Mr. J. R. Macmurdo : Can good white farm laborers be used in your section with fair wages, comfor- table accommodation, and geod treat- ment. Can obtain daily through our foreign emigrant ageney, a good class of people arriving here, and I wish to locate them without waiting for land arrangements. Please enquire among your frieuds aud advise promptly, A, Pors. Mr. Macmurdo called some leading gentlemen together, avd after a brief conference, replied by telegraph that _they might be sent here in’ lots of say ten. Mr, Theo. Buerbaum will actyts in- terpretor for them. The wages for good farm hands are from ten to twelve and a half dollars per month. Farmers desiring good laborers can by this means secure just what they want. Mr. Macmurdo says that these emigrants are not mere adventurers, but that they have some money and their object is to work until they can secure homes for themselves. Persons desiring these laborers will please leave their orders at the Watcu- MAN Office: stating the number needed. These orders will receive prompt atten- tion. The mining interests of Rowan have already begun to drain the farmers of laborers and this proposition comes just in time to relieve them. There remained in the fields, both corn and cotton, during last season, which could not be gathered for want of Lauds. On some farms last year’s corn was not gathered until Feb- ruary of this year, and we saw hands picking cotton in Marek, Let the farmers in thisand adjoining counties forward crders to the above ad— dress for hands. It has been suggested, and Wisely too, that the town of Salisbury shonld organ izea land agency at once, to receive, take care of, and loeate these new coniers.

MANUFACTURED BY PACIFIC GUANO COMPANY. 0 THE® LEADING COTTON FERTILIZER. By reference to the reports for the past several years made by the North Caroll~ na Experiment Station, it will be seen that Soluble Pacific Guano (tested by the commercial valne) bas held the highest rank among the forty or fifty different brands of commercial fertilizers offered for sale in the State. This is a splendid, but not undeserved, tribute to the Paefie Guano Company, which for sixteen years has manufactured an article universally admitted to be an- sarpassed in its remarkable effects npon the growth of the great Southern staple, Indeed, so well known is Soluble Pacific Guano, that we have almost ceased to issne circulars except for distribution in the more reimote districts and in those recently opened to Railroad transportation. Although we have thousands of testimonials as to the valne of Soluble Pacifie Ga- ano, we will only publish below a few from some of the leading farmers ef this and adjoining counties, which will serve to stimulate inquiry amoug those who have not used it, and will result in seemring favorable personal testimony from its old patrons to those who are desirous of learning its results in the past, which results, combip- ed with the solid reputation of the Pacitie Guano Company, are a sufficient guaran- tee that the standard will be strictly maintaired in the futare.

Thirty year’s experience has firmly rooted Atleock’s Porous Plaster in public estimation. Their wonderful adaptability to the various symtoms of disease is a warvel to medical-men of all schools. For nervous persons and luna- tics, one or njore applied to the spine produc- ed sleep when opiates, even hydrate of chloral, had been of little servire. Now, when-one can- nut sleep, its is the common practice to apply a Plaster tothe back. You scarcely touch the pillow before you are sound asleep. Allcocks Porous Plasters have the curative effect of the Spanish fy. blisters, yet make no sore, and never affect the kidneys ; are conveni- eut for all ages and conditions, usualiy only producing a “ilush” of the skin, and more cer- tainly curative than liniments or blisters, and without prostration or pain of the latter. This is trne even in Cronp, Quinsy, Plenriey, Lung and Throat Affgetions, and the atility of thia sanitary invention has been warmly wel- comed. They are largely sold inevery part of the world, and it is believed that not less than five hundred thousand persons are well, and attending to the duties-of life, free from pain, whohave sn Allcock’s Porous Plaster some- where about then, and who, buat for the said plaster, would be prostrate apon a bed of ago- ny. Besides, a peculiar pinay, pleasant odor, halo, or atmosphere exhales from them by the warmth o the body, imperceptible to the eye, but which envelops the person in a cloud of thin vapor, through which contagion cannot penetrate. In fact, Alleock’s Plasters supply an atmosphere like that from. balsam or pine woods, and no doubt attract ozone. When contagious or tnfect- ious diseases are about, they should be worn on the chest or back as preventives, THE ALLCOCK’S POROUS PLASTER oothes pain, reanimates torpid limbs, seems, in many casgsy to revive the powers of life. ‘The great démaad proves them™to be used as a universal remedy. They are convenient of ij - plication, and safe for all, being incapable of producing any injurious effects, Dr. Valentine Mott, Dr. Johnson, of Hart- furd, and Dr. Myers, of Savannah, have spoken of them in the highest terms. The great Mott said: “Lhey were all that contd be hoped for ina plaster—simple, cleanly and adhesive ; perfect as artificial supporters of the muscles ; and for pains, because of their counter-irritant qualities, usnally at once giving ease.” Local weukneas of the back, breast and side, always benefited, thus curing lumbago in a few hours, sometimes ina few minutes. In serious heart and chest affections their use causes an absorption or evaporation of way ter, by which dropsy of the heart and hydro- thorax have undonbtedly been cured. They appear to have a pecutiar effect upon the nervous, allaying irritability while supply ing warmth. They seem to accmulate elec- tricity, and aid the circulation of the blood through the port where applied, by which healthy actions are induced. The Porous Plasters are flexible, and found of great help to those who have weak backs or pains in the side, Especially are they val- table to those who have neglected colds. They are often preventives of consumption; nay, | sw | he Maxims for Everybody. The Sort of man Dawes’ Victim Is.

Fruits, The following, from the Wilming- ton Slar, is amusing: “A gentleman of this city, has a very ambitious cat, with exceedingly peculiar notions as to the “eternal fitness of things.” On Sunday last she drove an industrious hen off her nest of eggs, and at last accounts was still “holding the fort,” and insisting upon it that a hen had no rights that a cat was bound to re spect. If the cat intends to hatch the eggs and accomplish her pur-puss, then we will endeayor to give de-tail- ed statements of the cat-astrophe.” A young gentieman from the good county of Chatham, who holds a po- sition in oneof the departments at the capitol, says that he saw in Chatham, a few days ago, seventeen baby chick- ens and four kittens, all playing to- gether, while the old cat looked on at the preceedings in a very motherly manner, The eggs from which the chicks were hatched had been placed in the nest with the kittens, and the warmth of the latter bad hatehed them. Theold cat resented with spirit apy attempt to disturb either her feathery or hairy darlings, and it is probable that all will grow up to- gether.

During the past week the National Academy of Seievce has held one of its semi-annual sessions in Washington, and its principal event has been a legtare by the distinguished discoverer Prof. Bell, the inventor of the speaking telephone. He recited the wonderful facts discovered by him while engaged in experiments for the improvement of the photephone, and that a vast number of substances, solid, liguid, and gaseous, posseses the proper- ty of emitting sounds upon the falling thereon of intermittent xaya,of sunlight, and that his experiments, to_méasute the emitted sound, has resulted in the inven- tion of an instrument styled by him the spectrophone, chat the scientists say will prove of inestimable value in the field of molecular physics. The acadensigians went wild over the paper. At its copetusion, Prof. Rogers, seid that, in cousideration of the vastness of discoveries aud their’ enor- mous amplitudes, he could pet re- frain from an expression of his great joy, as a scientist, thereapon, He little an- ticipated such glorivus results.

It will be noticed that the Judge suggests that so much of the act as makes it unlawful to manufacture or sell spir- ituous liquors is in-force, and that that part of the law is not to be submitted to the people. If this shall, on eon- sideration, be found to be the status of the matter, the effeet will be to prohibit the county commissioners from granting licenses, and, as under the general law, no sales can be made without license, the act, may, notwith- standing an adverse popular verdiet, be effectual to prevent the «manufact- ture and sale of spirits. It is a nice question, and.one warthy of. serious thought. Sueh was hardly the inten- tion of the Legislature; but what the Legislature means to de, and what it does, are two very difterent matters. — News & Observer. The prohibition convention, a3 we anticipated, is largely attended, there being 450 delegates present, repre- senting every county in the State. Among the members are many prom- inent divines and distinguished pub- lic men, and the eonventien will bear comparison with any like body ever assembled in North Carolina. For the time being party polities are laid aside, and the white and eolored brethren appear to stand side by side in the advocacy of the common mat- ter whieh they have in hand. That excellent and sterling gentleman, Major James McRae, was chosen president, and among the officers of the convention are other gentlemen equally distinguished for their zeal and devotion to the best interest of the people of North Carolina. Sev- eral adinirable addresses were made ou yesterday, and to-day others are expected—among them oue from Judge Merrimon, The tone of the convention is decided and aggressive, and we may look for a hot and spir- ited campuign to be at once inaugu- rated in every section of the State.— ivews & Observer. of using this substance iy an artienlating | The Lenoir Topic gets off the fol- lowing effusion, Spring peety dwin- not be compared with it.

The “flowers fresh, the bloom and dfanch” then hold high carnival, for itis their formal, graud opening. Awaking from her long winter’s sleep, Nature bathes in the dew of the morning, ar- rays herself in the choicest of flowery attire, and is resplendent. When the flowers burstout, and everything takes on new life, a feeling of gladness and delight seems to fill one. Wearied with the confinement of winter, we instinctively live ad fresco, breathing ihe Joyous Spring atmosphere, laden with the perfume of roses, and re- pressing a growing appetite for green trait. The picuie season, too, ap- proaches. On a bright Spring morn- ing, they all go off, the merry maid- ens and devoted swains, to some pret- ty place, close beside a spring, to spend a pleasant day, and catch a cold. An indulgent mother once of- fered her diligent son, who had gain- ed many medals at school, a choice between a picnic and whitewashing the palings, as a reward fur his industry. With a fine judgment, he selected the latter diversion,—Lenoir Tonie. ja y Oo — +-<pe ee Coal cf Deep River. Mr. U. J. Haughton who owns a valuable mining property at Gulf in Chatham county, near the line of the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Rail- road, has, for some time, been raising limited quantities of the coal which ontcrops on his estate, for which he has found an increasing demand, To meet this demand he has sunk a shaft not far from tbe outcrop, and will soon reach the stratum of coal. Its thickness there is five or six feet, and with sufficient power to carry on the work, large quantities of the coal will be raised. Mr. Haughton has order- el a steam engine which will saon be put to work, and it is expected will bring to the surface about twenty tous per day. This coal, which is of the bituminous kind, is of excellent quali- ty for beating purposes, and a ton of it is said to be equal to three cords of good wood. Mr. Haughton will be able to furnish coal delivered on the cars at about $3.50 per ton, and the cost of transportation, depending on distance, being added, many of onr towns will find it their cheapest fuel. If it can be delivered in this town at $4 per ton, it will be cheaper asa generator of heat than wood at one dollar and a half per cord, which is a good deal under the market price.— Fayetteville Examiner, The end of a Carousal. 4 North Carelinian Commits Suicide. oe (From the Atlanta Constitution.} When the Air-Line train came to # halt under the car shed Sunday morning last at one o'clock, there stepped therefrom two Mien, whose able bodied appearance and almost faultless physiques betokened a long and bappy life, but when the clock struck one the next morning, just twenty-four hours later, one of the two lay a corpse in a lonely, dreary room in an Alanta hotel. The two men whose advent inte Atlanta was the precursor ef the deatly of one were T. E. Ebernethy and W. O. Raper. They were companions seeking pleasure in tra- velling from one place to another, and as is too often the case they attempted to vary the mouotony ef the road by drinking, | From an occasional dram they progressed to a spree, in which they were indulging when they reached Atlanta. Disembarking from the train they sought the Air-Line House on Prior street. where they secured rooms and where they remain- ed, except when upon the streets, until the living one left the city yesterday with the corpse of his companion. After being assigned to a room at the hotel, they retired and were unseen again until Sunday when thcy made their ap- parance upon the strects and devoted their time, as it was shown at the inquest, to a search fer whisky. This, it seems, they found, for Sunday night they were both drunk and passed the evening in “taking the town.” About half-past nine or ten o'clock they returned to their hotel, but soon after reaching their roem Raper com- plained of being sick. He manifested great difficulty in breathing, and by his actions so frightened his companion that he sent at once for a physician. To Dr. A. G. Hobbs, at Hutchison’s drug store, the case was represented as though the man was chok- ing to death and he responed, but soon af. ter examining the man he became convinc- ed that he was suffering from arsenic pois- on. Advising Ebernethy to send for aid. Dr. Hobbs did all in his power to relieve the suffering man, and by his keeping up an artificial respiration prolonged his life for quite a while. Though fighting hard to save his patient, the doctor soon became convinced that death would result, and so informed Ebernethy, who seemed greatly frightened. By the bedside of the dying man Dr. Hobbs remained until one o'clock, just 24 hours after he had coine to Atlanta, when death closed his cyes forever. Beside the doctor stood Ebernethy. looking at his dy- ing companion, whose death was caused by whisky, as he turned and groaned with pain, and as the last breath left his asso- ciate’s body he fell upon his knees and swore never again to drink. To Coroner Hilburn the sudden death was reported early Monday morning. Sum- mening a jury, an inquest was begun at once, but beyond establishing the fact that the dead man and his associate had been ona prolonged sprec, but little could be ascertained. The principal witness was Ebernethy, who stated that they came to Atlanta Sun- day morning at one o'clock, and that they had been drinking for quite a while. On Sunday they bought liquor and continued the spree. At a drug store they bought some medicine called headache drops, of which they drank freely, but he knew of no poison his associate had taken. Several bott!es upon which were labels calling the contents headache drops were found in the roem. From these bottles came the smell of whisky, and the label bore the following formulas: Tr. auranti, C, 6 prts.; tr. gentiane, 4 prts.; tr. valer am., 2 prts.; elx. pot. brom., 10 prts.; syr. simpl., 24 prts., spts. frumenti. 64 pts. Ton- ic and appetizer. Dose: Wineglassful. After hearing all the evidence, which was not at the satisfactery, the jury re- turned a verdict in which they said that the deccased had died from the effects of alcoholic poison. Raper was from High Point, N.C., where his body was yesterday sent by Charles Swift, the undertaker. Beyond what his associate says nothing is known of him. _——— Procress and the development of our patural resources are the order of the day. And in vo branch of industry does a view of the present give greater cn- couragment thau in the matter of manu- factufing cottou. It is apparent that those who have deemed our native popu- latiun unsuited for factory work have been very much mistaken. They make prime hands. And those who have con- sidered that we could not compete with the large and established factories of the North are also proved to be in error. New England has her pecutiar advantages and so have the Southern States. The saving in freight isa handsome profit. It costs considerably more to lay down a bale of cotton at a New England factory than it does to place our manufactured goods in the market at Philadelphia, and besides the bulk of our products can be sold at the South, thus saving the entire item ef freight. Nor is this the sole ad- vantage we possess; others equally impor- tant are well known and appreciated by those who manage the Southern factories. We believe that no Northern capitalist has ever lost money invested in a Soutl- ern mill, and they are among our larg. st mill owners. They all make mouey. In- ‘ deed the boom in milling could not be sustained unless it was based’ om some profits, and factories are’ 4 up all through the South. This inspites us with hope for the future of North Care oliua, for no Southern State is: more fa=- vorably situated than we are fer the suc- cessfal proseeution of this industry- We are within the cotton belt and: hare the: best climate in Ameriea. Living cheap)’ aud the people steady, indastrious’ and. thrifty. We are the most prosperous. of the Southern States. Onr State is cut up- with streams affording unbounded. water power. Prof. Kerr bas made a. cartfali statement of the pewer of our rivers. Be-- ginning with the Roanoke River we have an aggregate for the part of the river ly- ing in this State of 70,009 horse power,. which is double as mach as the w utilized foree of the State. - Tar River has not. been measured, bat. its force above the Wilmington &. Wel- don Railroad is not le’s than 83008 to 10,— 000 horse power. The Nense, near. Ral- eigh, gives a force of twenty-two: horse: pewer per foot, which will make, for the: whele river and its tributaries above Goldsboro, about the same aggregate as: the Tar. Haw River is the only stream in this- quarter of the State which has received anything like adequate appreciation. It turns nore spindles than any other river in the State. The force of this stream is not less than 40,000 horse power, and that of Deep River, above its confluence: with the Haw, is nearly as mach, and the: total of these and of the Cape Fear, with: its other principal affluents, will not be less than 130,000 to 140,000 horse power. The Yadkin has 255,000 horse power, a force capable of turning all the 10,000,- 000 spindles in the United States. Its tributaries would add at least 20 per cent. to this estimate, giving a grand total of 300,000. The Catawba, with its chief tri- butaries, will give more than 250,000 horse power. We have not space to go through the list, but the Professor states that the ag- gregate water power of the State is about 3,500,000 horse power, and this force is distributed over the entire area of the State, with the exception of a few sca- board counties, and is thus brought into juxtaposition with whatsoever raw mate- rials or other advantageous conditions may be found in avy part of itg territory, This is equal to the total power, water and steam, employed by all the manufac- tuning industries of Great Britain, the foremost manufacturing nations, and con- siderably excceds that of the United States. Estimated in another way, it is equal to the power which would be pro- duced by the combustion of nearly 4,000,- 000 tons of coal per annuum. The time is coming when these natural advantages will be utilized, and we hope at an early day to see mills dotted along our streams and millions of dollars annu- ally realized as the profit of our milling industries.— News & Observer. ee aye or Eneouragin > = Matrimony. The matrimonial problem proves a very troublesome one to newly mars ried men whose finances become ex- hausted before the house-farnishing is completed. A society to encourage those who timidly hesitate on the brink of matrimony, longing to plunge in but dreading the expense, has been founded in Cincinnati. It is called “The Matrinonial Benefit Company,” and the members are each charged an initiation fee of five dollars. When a member marries, his associates each contribute one dollar to a fund, and this is given to him to smooth the fi- nancial pathway to connubial happi- ness. As there are twelve hundred members, the happy man starts on chis matrimonial career with at least twelve hundred dollars. a Curious Facts. A tree bearing thirty bushels of apples is really sustaining half a ton of water, for water constitutes about eighty-five per cent. of apples. A brick of gold measuring twelve by seven by four inches is worth about $75,000. Such a brick repre- sents one month’s product of one ef the hydraulic wines of California. The rings noticed in the wood ef a tree cut across have been considered an index of the age of the tree—coun- ting one ring for each year, but this does not hold in all species. A tree eighteen years old has shown, when cut, thirty-six distinet rings.

Mr. Gilbert Brandreth, Asst Engineer at the Crowell Mine, has returned from Sing Sing. : The action of the Coanty Commissioners" on last Monday in regard to granting li- cense for the retailing intoxicating-liquors in small quantities, has been the subject of much talk by our citizens. Some are gratified at the result, while others are ‘cursing a blue streak.” Now, we are inclinéd to the opinion that their action was just and right, and that, under the circumstances, there was no other safe action to take. They ar- gued, and justly, too, that in view of the approaching election, which is to decide this question of prohibition, that they could not forestall and force license on the public, should they repudiate liquor at the election. And that if license were granted, they would be in force for nine months after the election, Therefore they i thought it best to postpone the granting of license three months, until after the people decide it, DEATH OF CHAS.

A Woman’s View of it ae The Senate Dead-Lock and its Con- fusing Connections. ‘My dear,’ said Mrs. Spoopendyke, holding a piece of lace to her over- skirt and wondering whe:her she had better plait it on, or full it in, ‘my dear, who is this Congressman Lock who-has just died ?’ ‘What Congressman Lock Mr. Spoopendy ke. ‘Why, I read in the paper this perning that they couldy’t do no business because of the dead Mr. Lock. Did you know him ?’ ‘That ain’t a Congressman,’ said Mr. Spoopendyke. ‘You read that rhere was a dead-lock in the Senate. Wasn’t that it ?’ ‘Yes, and [ read it all through, and when I found that My. Conkling felt so bad about it, I thought Mr. Lock must be a Congressman.’ ‘No he isn’t either. The dead-lock means that the Democrats and Re- publicans can’t agree.’ ‘Good gracious! Have they anoth- er falling out? I shouldn't think the Republicans would fight the poor Democrats any more. What have they been doing now ?” ‘They haven’t been doing anything. Senator Mahone of Virginia, went over to the Republicans, and—’ ‘I see, interrupted Mrs. Spooven- dyke. ‘and Mr. Conkling won’t have him confirmed. Though I can’t un- derstand why they should interfere with Mr. Mahone’s religion. If the po man wants to join the church, 5? asked ‘Who wants to join the church ? Who’s a church? Think Mr. Conk- fing’s a bishop? Got an idea he’s an altar ? S’pose he’s a dod gasted chapel with ivey all over him, a spike fence and 2 chime of bells? It’s Stanley Matthews he don’t want confirmed.’ ‘Tread about him, too,’ rejoined Mrs. Spoopendyke. ‘He’s Mr. Gar- field’s collector, isu’t he? ‘Ne he ain’t. That's Judge Robert- son, Mr. Garfield wants Judge Rob- ertson for collector, and Mr. Conk- ling is opposed to him.” ‘I don’t see why he should be. Though, of course, 1 should suppose Garfield would rather bave a man like Mahone, who is going into the church,’ ‘Where’s your senses ?’ snorted Mr. Spoopendyke. ‘What d’ye want to mix things up for? Tryiug to make a grab-bag of prominent Americans ? Stanley Matthews is candidate for judge? Mahone is a Senator and ‘Rebertson is appointed collector, but like Matthews hasn’t been confirmed. Can you see through that ?” . ‘Of course, I understand that, but I don’t see any excuse for fighting the Demorats, unless they think that Robertson would collect money trom Mahone, and Matthews would send _ him to jail. In that case it—’ wo S ‘In that case it would take you to, straighten ’em out ?’ squealed Spoop- | eudyke. ‘What're you trying to get and go to jail for five vp now, an idiot asylam? are you lasing fora murder and trying to getup an‘insanity pea? What d’ye think: Robertson’s going to collect hens? Got a notion that Matthews is a penitentiary, nese ee to be leased out? Imagine Mahone to le the national debt? Well, they ain’t, theyr’e men, I tell ye. Men with legs,’ aad Spoopendyke kicked out both his own foot bandJes by the way of illustration. ‘Conkling is opposed to Matthews and Robertson. He says they shan’t be confirmed, but he’s a friend of Mahone. ‘That’s what I didn’t see,’ said Mrs. Spoopendyke. ‘Iam glad Mahone will be confirmed, though I don’t care for Matthews and Mr. Robertson. It will te:ch them to repent their sins and not fy isto the face of Provi- dence. I’m giad Conkling is a good Episcopalian.’ ‘Oh! he’s a prayer book ? howled Mr. Spoopendyke. ‘You've furund him out! You’ve got him! All he wants is red cushion and a rack nail- ed up in front of him to be a dod gasted mourner’s bench! Didn’t I tell ye he was a Senator? Do yon know what a Senator is? It’s some- thing shaped like a pie, a measly pie! Understand it now ? ‘And is Mr. Mahone a Senator, too?’ asked Mrs. Spoopendyke, a new light dawning upon her. ‘No, he ain’t a Senator!’ grinned Mr. Spocpendyke; ‘he’s a lightning- red to keep howling idiots from fall- ing overboard, Begin to see into it? he finds any dud gasted old female named Spoopendyke siopping into a eanal he’il slam a church on top of her! Got the idea? ‘Upon my word, my dear,’ remon- strated Mrs. Spoopendyke, ‘you talk extravagantly. Mr. Mahone may fight Democrats, but he would never go round throwing churches at women. 1 don’t know Mr. Mahone, but I don’t believe he wonld doa thing of that kind. As for Mr. Matthews and Mr. Robertson, they know their business best but if they have abused Mr. Conkling, I would never read one of Mr. Matthews’ decisions, and Mr. Robertson might call here every day for a month and he conld never col lect the paper bill. I don’t think it’s right to trust such men with the con- tribution box, and I know the mis- sionary ladies would never permit him to collect the subscriptions,’ ‘That's it” yellud Mr. Spoopendyke. ‘There’s the science of government! All you want now is a saloon in the basement to be the National Capital ! What you need is a gas meter and a yeto to be an improved White House! When Robertson comes tere for the milk bill you pay him, you hear! And when Matthews is justice of the peace for Brooklyn, you have Conkling ar- rested fer stealing coal, you hear? That il fetch it! You’ve got the idea now! All you want todo js to live all summer in the Soldier’s Home to be ia complete administration! If I had your vision (’d get up on three sticks and hire ont as a telescope.’ ‘Of course, Vil do what you say,’ replied Mrs. Spoopendyke submis- sively, ‘and if Conkling’ should take some of our coal, unless it was by mistake, IT should certainly feel like complaining of him. If Robertson comes I will pay him, though the milk is not as good as the first we got. Perhaps Mr. Matthews will fix that when he gets to be just’ ce. Do you think Mahone will come too ? “Come!” shrieked Spoopendyke, “of course he'll come. He’s liable to be here any minute. He’s a burglar, I tell you, and he may come over the back fence to-night. Look out for him—TI think I bear him now !” And into bed and pniled the clothes over his head. ‘Now T understand why they have a dead-lock,’ mused Mrs. Spoopen- dyke, pushing the table against the door, a8 a precaution against the ma- rauding Mahone, and the cxamining 2 pimple on her clbow ; “it’s because these ambitious Senators and collec- tors and justices and burglars fight these poor Democrats all the time. 1 | Suspected there would@e trouble when Mr. Garfield beat Mr. Arthur for the Presidency, For my part, I bad rather be Gen. Grant, and get all the money, though I don’t see why he wauts it, now he’s sold out of the world’s fair, and Mrs. Soopendyke crawled into bed, wondering ‘how she was to tell Mahone from Robertson,and whether Conkling would be content with what he could carry, or if he might not also demand her new cbud- da cluth dress, with cut steel buttons. —Lrooklyn Lagle. eee A bill is before the Freneh Cham- bers to establish a tariff upon honor- ary tithes and to” permit any person to assume such titles a~ he pleases on payment of the annual sum affixed to the same, Thus a mau may put De i before his name for the yearly tax of 2,000 franes; may write Baron for 8,000; Count for 4,000; Margnis fur 5,000; and Duke for 10,60.

Moore, of this place, arrived here last night from Lynehburg, Va., accompanied by a friend, W. JL Stepp, who relates the following sad account of his death, Myr. Moore was employed by the Richmond and Alexandria Railroad Company as forenian of rock work, and was, on last Thursday evening, at work twelve miles from) Lynehbburg, to break a vast rock with Having drilled a bole fifteen feet in the rock, and failing the third time to break the roek with yo vder, he at- tempted to charge it wich nitro-giye ering, pouring itin the hole frome ju. It ignited some way, supposed ce liave been caused by the heat from the for- bottom of the hole. He was blown one hundred or more feet high, the body falling into the James River, ) where the water was fifteen feet deep. The body was thrown with such speed that the’ men who were wear by and saw it thought it was a rock or pow- der keg. There was but one man as- mortally wounded, A search was made for the body, and, failing to find it, but finding a trace of blood from the ptace of che accident to the! sonable—that the object seen flying through the air and falling in the riv-| er was his body. After a search of fonr hours the body was found, the feet aud haads gone and being other: | wise mutilated. Mr. Moore had been ersployed by Western North Carolina Railroad Company for the last six or seven years, at mud cut and other points, until about six weeks ago, when he left to take the position he was filing at the fatal moment. He was twenty- four years old, aud a very excellent young inan, of high Gharacter and standing in this sommunity, where be was raised. He leaves quite a large circle uf friends and relatives to mourn his distressing death, The fu- neral will take place to morrow from the Methodist charch, Rev. J.J. Renn, officiating. Oue of Many. The following story, one of many, is related by the Washington corres: po ident of the Atlanta Constitution : The other evening I witnessed an incident was and eloquent answer to the slanders of the Southern people en the negro question.

Current Comment. —Ex Senator Dorsey has not fall- en in character, but he certainly has in reputation, since the official expo- sure of the Star route raseality. It is to the credit of the country that it is not often that an ex-Senator of the United States is shown to bea vul- gar thief. It would be still more to its credit if the government penished its thieves whenever they were appre- heuded in the commission of their of- fences. To the country at large Stephen W. Dorsey has been known as a Senator of the United States and as one of the leaders of the Republi- can party. of the National Cummittee of that party, and after the election of Gar- field and Arthur the party posed be- fore him in almost suppliant attitude to know what high office he would deign to accept in return fee his emi- nent services in securing a Republi- can triumph. Fle put the crown from him. He would have none of the honors; he was content toserve in the ranks asa private soldier. He did, however, ask oue favor, one single, paltry favor—be asked that he name the Second Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral. It was a trifling request for a virtuous man to make; it was a mon- strous demand when made by Dorsey, for Dorsey was interested in the Star service, and it was, therefore, necess: - ry for his pecuniary welfare that he should centro! the Second Assistant Postmaster Gencral.—Phiiad.

To All North Carolinians at Ilome or Abroad: The General Assembly of North Carolina at its late session passed an act appropriating five hundred dollars tu build a monument to the memory of our first constitutional Governor, Richard Caswell. This sum is entire- ly inadequate for the purpose, and was only intended to assist the patri- otic citizens of the State in their ef- forts to build a monument commensu- rate with the great deed done by him whose memory it is intended to per- petuate. We know that every true citizen of the State, adopted as well as native, will be glad to have the privilege of assisting in raising the legislative ap- propriation toa sum that will more nearly meet the requirements of the case. Therefore we issue this circular, hoping that every one whese eye it may reach will forward to the Treas- urer of the Association any sam which may attest his admiration of the great, many and noble services to the Old North State by that steriing patriot, intrepid soldier and wise statesman whose memory we wish to hand down as a rich legacy to our posterity. His Excellency, Governor Jarvis, is in fall aceord with this object ; and has notified the Caswell Memorial Association of his intention to farther its ends. This Association is permanently or- ganized and now vigorously at work. The citizens of Lenoir are already coming forward with their coutril tions. It is carnestly requested that the honorary vice presideuts of the Cas- well Memorial Association will push the work of collection, so that, if pos- sible, the monument may ‘e ready for the ceremonies of unveiling on the fourth day of July next.

She also said that after he had killed his father he eaid that there were tro more he wanted to kill, mean- ing heraelf and bis twiu brother, and theuv he’d kill himself. As socnu as young Priester saw his wife in the hallway ot the jail he burst inte a passion of tears and inarticalate appeals. With wouder- tal self{-command she soothed him with whispered words, and at his earnest request all of those present withdrew eXx- cept the sheriff, who remained to make it certain that Priester, if he isinsane, would do his wife no injury, although he cer- tainly gave no evidence of any feeling but the most intense devotion and earn- est faith iv her. At the conclusion of this interview, he returned to his cell and cast himself cn the couch, completely prostrated and exhausted. Mrs. Priester seems to be the one to whom, above all others, he relies for comfort and strength. His conduct towards her is more like that of a child seeking consolation from its troables from a stronger person, than a grown man. If he has net the most un- bounded trust in and love for her, he is certainly a most consumate dissenbler. Public opinionas to bis sanity is divided.

From the wrongs of these multitudes came the livings of the circum- locution officers. But when Lord Brough- ham fought his long battle of reform for ; years (1824-25-26) and came off triumph- j ant at last,these officers had to give up many j legal, but most iniquitous gains. “ They knew themselves that the day of darkness was past, and thatdhey, the lecal- ized vultures, who bad fattened on the woes 1ot the people, need not resist the influences of moral life and hght any longer. Moral- ly, Brougham was one of the bravest men. “Even Romilly,” observes Sir E. Wilmot, j page 11, “who had an influence in Parlia- | iment still greater than that of Brougham, | had shrunk from an attempt to drag to | light, (so powerful were their champions) and iniqmities of that court.

It is reported here that the old Ward mine, seven milesfrom Lexington, David- sod County, has been recently prospec- ted. The mine was formerly worked ‘for gold, but the ore lately taken out by Mr. Stith (who thought it was lead) was pro- nounced to be silver, by Mr. J. H. Jones, M. E. of Lexington. The vein is several feet wide, and the ore is valued at high | figures. Mr. ‘I. H. and Miss Alberta Stith owns the property. — BEAVER DAM GOLD MINE. Messrs. J.C. and Charles W.

Beaver Dam is an old mive and has been known as a paying mine for 55 years. The consideration of this sale of stock was a large sum cf money.

OERTEL. | \ | “ tei r ' ie ie aS. eee - A Curative Host in Itself. - Thirty year's experience has firmly rooted Aileock’s Porous Plaater in wublie estimation. Their wonderful adaptability to the. various symtoms of disease is a marvel to inedical men of all schools... For nervous persons and luna- ties, one or more applied to the spine produc- ed sleep when opiates, eves hydraieof ebloral, had been of little servire. Now, when one can- not sleep, its is the common practice to apply a Plaster to the back. You scarcely touch the pillow before you are sound asleep. Alleocks Poroua Plasters have the curative effect of the Spanish fly blistera, yet make no sore, and never affect the kidneys ; are conveni- eut fur all ages and conditions, usually only producing a “blush” on the skin, and more cer- tainly eurative theft liniments or blisters, and without prostration or pain of the latter. This ia true even in Croup, Quinsy, Pleurisy, | bi this sanitery invention has been warmly wel— lcomed. They are largely sold inevery part of ithe world, and it is believed that not less than live hundred thonaand persons are well, and attending to the duties of life, free from pain, whobave an Alfcock’s Porous Plaster some- where about them, and who, but for the said plaster, would be prostrate upon a bed of age- ny. Besides, a peeutiar piny, plersant odor, halo, or atmosphere exhales from them by the warmth of the body, linperceptible to the eve, but which envelops the person in a clou.! of thin vapor, through which contagion cannot penetrate. In fact, Allcock’s Plasters supply an atmosphere likethat from balsam or pine woods, and no doubt altract ozone, When contagious or inject- ious disetses ure about, they should be worn on the chest or back as preventives. | | } | a L our neonday | 4 isat first) chun it] | or without <2 r ro sl one party get to bed. | frigerator, Suddenly seems to be as lagenuily Iskill exceute.

Murdock and Mr. J. H. McKenzie. of the second, fol- lowed by a general discussion freely par- most of the members. sccond topic was adopted: Resolved that this Association considers that the prevalent system of prize giving is pro- ductive of more injery than good. Several Queries on differcnt subjects were then presented and disposed of in diferent modes.

On visiting the wharf yesterday morning every one was busy around the canning establishment, receiving the machinery, material, etc. and getting the same in position, The Ciyde steamer arrived ‘Tuesday night with all the fixtures, and we were somewhat surprised to see so large a quantity as was brought out. In two or three days they will be ready to commence canning operations, We know of nothing which will add more materially to the interest of Newbern than will this establishment.

The clephant has been known to die of grief when, ina sudden fit of madness, he iizs killed his keeper, The way to produce a smile en the face of nature is to plant it with seeds of Howes. Tickle nature in that way and she will laugh with blossums. Some one has aptly compared nar- row-minded people to small necked bottles, because the less they have in them, the more nose they make in pouring it out. A goad book aud a good woman are excellent things for those who kuow how to justly appreciate their value. There ure men however, who judge of both from the beauty of the covering. Rev. Henry V. Vorhees, seven years pastor of the Reformed church, of Nyack, N. Y., has accepted a eall to the Monohin Presbyterian chureh, Princess Anne, Maryland, which was tounded in 1705, Ifa girl has pretty teeth she laughs often; if she’s got a pretty foot she'll wear a short dress, and if she’s got a vcat baud she’s fund of a game of whist, and if the reverse, she dislikes Hl tho:e affairs. One of the modes of punishment in China is to compel a criminal to die of sleeplessness, by keeping him awake aweek, night avd day. ‘Ten days is sure to prove fatal, und is terrible agony for the victiny. He that gives good advice bnilds with one hand; be that gives good couusel and example builds with the other; but he that gives good admo-~ ujGop and bad example builds with ove fisnd and pulls down with the other, The two most precious things on this side of the grave are our reputay tion and our life. But itis to be lamented that the oost contemptible Whisper may deprive us of the one, and the weakest weapon of the other, i An old soldicr’s overcoat was sold at auction. in Pennsylvania the other day for $75.50. It was worn in the war of 1812 and daring a part of the first winter of the rebellion, and is still in a good state of preservation considering its long und severe usage, The swiftest bird, probably, is the eagle of the sea, or frigate bird, often measuring sixteen feet from tip to tip. It hoyers at an elevation of 10-, QUO feet when a storm sweeps over the ocean. If it wishes to travel, says a French naturalist, it can almost an- nihilate space. Itcan breakfast in Afviea and dine in America. This bird reposes on its great motionless wings, literally, ‘sleeping on the bosom of the air.’ An old miner, who has had Sfteeg year’s experience underground says, that he has observed one peculiar fact, that between 12 and ¢wo o’clock in the night, if there is a sions ora bitof earth inthe mine, it is sure to fall. Sayshe: About this time it seems that everything begius to stir, and immediately after 12, al- though the mine has been as a tomb before, you will hear particles of rock and dirt come tumbling down, and Gf _there is a caving piece of ground iy tbe mine it is sure to give way, . a a cr TS 436 Hense Henderson, w'k on'str’ts $4 05 437 Henry Woods 240 438 Sylvanus Hanes we 5 00 439 And.

Many of those who tise it not only dis- qualify themselves for usefulness, bat cause endless trouble and expense to oth- ers. Families are tmpoverished and dis- graced, and the burden of relief falls on friends or the county.

ANNUAL Picnic at THE NaRrows.— On last Friday, the usual annual picnic was held at the residence of Col. John F. Cotton, in Montgomery County. It was more by accident than otherwise that we and our friend *‘Charlie” were present—al- though the urbane and thoughtful eom- mittee had sent us an invitation. Messrs. N. M. Thayer, P. C. Saunders and John W. Cotton, were the leading spirits, and composed the committee. The party be- gau tu arrive by eleven o’clock, and con- tinned to come in until sun down. There were six Counties represented—and hand- Late in the evening the whole party went down to’ the rocks which seem to fasten the river in the narrow detile, and enjoyed the cool breeze, and watched the fishermen at their traps and throwing their nets.

The motion was lost by three tortwo. A lot of claims was then passed, and Mr. J. P. Holtain, bridge inspector, was ordered to brild a bridge over Crane Creck on the new Concord road. The following resolutions was passed. OrFice Rowan Boarp or Epeucatron, Salisbury, N.C. May I6th, 163. Whereas the school law of 1331, see.

Resolved, That we, the Rowan Board of Edueation do most respectfully invite the Boards of Education of the counties of. STANLY, Davipson and DAVIE to unite with usin holding a joint county teachers institute, and to make such an appropriation as will aid the enterprise. Resolved, That the clerk of the board be directed to send a copy of these reso- lutions to the counties «bove named. No other business the board then ad- journed. thea NORTH STATE MINING CO. To-day Dr. R. M, Eames, E.-M., of Salisbury, sailed with Mr. Wm. Brand- reth, of New York City, for London Eug- land. They go on business connected with the Company. This company, by- the-way, probably owns more valuable mineral real estate, than any other five companies in North Carolina. Their pres- pects in the near future are exceedingly bright. Already there is a scramble for the floating stock of the Crowell and Cop- per Kuob mine. a OR a Mr. John H. Enviss of this City has just returned from McDowell county where he has been examining mineral property. He and Mr. Geo. M. Buis of Marion are largely interested in an As- bestos miive recently discovered. They are developing the mine. ae TWO MINES SOLD. Sam’l. J. Pemberton, Esq., of Albe- marle N. C., sold last week, the “Grand Mam” gold mine in Montgomery county, and the ‘Hathcock,” two miles from Albemarle in Stanly county. A New York company purchased both of these properties. ——.——— UNFORTUNATE. We look upon the “Attack and reply” as itis styled, recently published in the Charlotte Observer as unfortunate, yet of not sufficient importance to materially affect the influx of miners and capitalists North Carolina for good and sate investment in mining. The whole thing sifted down means that there is a misunderstanding on the part of Mr. Rossiter W. Raymoud, it appears has pot mach faith in any “process,” aud proceeds to say as much —dashed freely with sarcasm. Prof. H. W. Adams, on the other band, has the faith of ‘Great Heart,’ and is backing that faith with works- aud he wants others to back him. Mr. Raymoud a gentleman who las served the Government as professional geologist, miveraligist and metallurgist, advised the people of this State to be careful about investing in such enterprises as Mr. Adams is engaged in in Charlotte. This was right according to his way of thinking. Mr. Adams untor- tunately strained Mr. Raymond's remarks abd thinks he sees in thema thrust at Southern mines. In this we think him mistaken. Our own experience is that as a rule Northern Journals are disposed to ucourage southern mines. The Tribune, Mining Record, Daily Stock Report, En- gineering and Mining Journal and some Boston papers all cheerfully publish every item of mining uews they can obtain trom this section. The good people of Charlotte have en— tire confidence in Mr. Adams, and they have with their usual generous business | spirit: backed the enterprise, and WC | Wish them abundant success and large | monthly dividends. But we do hope for who are looking to both parties. a | the sake of the mining interest generally that the controversy will end jast where it is, pbever to be resurrected. <> NORTH CAROLINA. North Carolina mining enterprises are coming into favor, and why not?) The Black Hills in Dakota produce only low- grade ores, running from $7 to 812 per ton, and yet large dividends are paid by some of the companies. North Carolina can show gold quartz veins, wide, solid, clearly defined, eucased in unbroken walls that can be woiked at less cost, and which can at a small out-lay be made to | yield any amount of ore of a grade two or three times as high as the Black Hills mines, and yet they have Jain idle ever Western gold fever of 749 de- populated the Southern mining camps. since the New discoveries are now being reported | from that State, and with the great) im- provements in the appliances for saving gold that have been made within the few years there is no doubt but that mining enterprises willbe inangarated in that locality during the coming sammer that will attract general attention. It isa field that intelligent hands cau made very productive.—Buston paper. Se From the Lamp Post we glean the fol- lowing iu) regard to the Vein Gold Mine: They are thoroughly satisfied with the property aud feel that they have not ex- pended their money in vain. Mountain Last week they took up 173 penny weights of gold from about one hundred and tifty feet by 10 teet of ground which had previously worked at Wet weather. The yield of gold week betore last on the same been in character of ground was 43 penny weights above what Dr. Chadbourne had estima- ted new ground to vield. It is hoped, as there is every reason to believe, that this Hattering opening of the Vein) Mountain Mine will) prove but index to the great beds of gold gravel above it, which have bot been reached, but are waiting au the hydraulic force which this company Will ina few day be ready to apply. rr O'S oir Rowan wilis hems.

Day was fast verging into dusk. Indeed, for some time twilight had Jain gray upon ihe scene, and only a silver lite kissed the parple tops of the distant mountain. The Widow Darley sat by the window busily en- gaged in darning a wretched-looking stocking over a mammoth mock or- ange, bemouning with her every stitch her recent attack of rheumatism whieh: ronfined her to the house, when she was thoronghly conseious of the fact that ler services were needed ont of doors.

J said atthe one Was poisonous and-the other a muraerous treatment. the remedial power of nature bad not only to cure the disease, but to eradictte mercurial poisons and supply new streams of blood to exhausted patients. which was tvo much for any constitution; that my plan of Irealtment was to remove disease by purifying the blood with Brandreth’s Pills, for when the blood was thus made pure, the medical force of nature came into full pkey, and, unless God willed otherwise, the patient was sure to re- cover. Brandreth’s Pills assist nature in all her efforts. It is nature that cures disease and not medicine. Every other courre of treat- ment only throws great obstacles in the way of the constitution, [om happy to say that bleed- ing, which I said was always improper, bas heen generally abandoned by the medical pro- fession, and thatthe poisonous qualities of mer- cory have been so far recognized that the use of ithas been forbidden in the United States Army, by the Surgeon-General.

It is thought that Gen. Grant’s influence may yetsave Conkling by returuing him to the U.S. Senate, and this, or something else, does scem to have attected the spirit of the opposition which manifested itself agaipst the Senator a few days ago. The N.Y. Sun, democrat, is urging Conk- liug’s re-election on the ground that Garfield “has set on foot in this matter a system of combined bribery and in- timidation. He has on the one hand, threatened Senators with punishment should they refuse to obey Lis will; and on the ether hand he has held up before them a promise of reward in the distri- bation of ottices should they eomply com- ply.

Cor. of the News & Observer. WapesBoro, May 20th, 1831. My first duty is to remind you that to-’ day is the anniversary of an event in the history of North Carolina that must be forever interesting to the friend of liber- ty and free government, wherever he may be npon the face of the earth, and es- pecially interesting aud dear to every trne-hearted North Carolinian. This day one hundred and six years ago the men of Meckleaberg declared that they were and ought to be free and indepeudent of the English crown, aud proclaimed the grand principles of the declaration of in- dependence as the ground-w ork of their actiou. Let us ever keep fresh in our wenories their noble deeds, and let us and our posterity strive to prove our- selves as worthy deceudants of noble Judge Merrvimon, after some 80 au ancestry. complimeutary remarks to the people of Auson, then said that he came before them, by invitation, to discuss the Wis- dom and expediency of prohibiting, by statute, the manufacture aud sale of spir- ituons and malt liquors.

It embraced as well the pablic economy of the State, aud was interesting to the people frem every standp >! Ilis pur- seuss it frankly and fairly and ina just spirit giving offense to no one.

He = refer- red to the effect of prohibition where it had prevailed, and pointed with confi- dence to its effect la the coanty of North- amplon.

This isa mere summary of his speech, which lasted about two hours, anid was re- ceived with great applause, and inpress- ed the people profoundly. The general verdict of all prescnut is that it isand was the most forcible and mas-erly speech on any subject that has been delivered bere since the war.

The Washington Chronicle thinks that whiskey and late hours have more te do with some people’s bad health in that city than the “malaria” so often com- plained of.

Pretty soon its iuroads will break up the deliberations of that august body in the capitol, and every mother’s son of them will basten home to breathe his native air.” If the malaria or something else would keep Congress from meeting again fer the ensuing four years, it would bea great blessing to the country generally, and to its peace and prosperity particularly.— Charlotte Democrat. aS The Degradaticn of the Supreme Court.

Washington Letter. Why the Heathen Rejoice and Democrats Inagine Vain Things—An Estrangement but no Split—Senator Conkling’s Plans. From our Regular Correspondent. W asHinGTon, May 2st, 1881. Democrats are just now in a state of joy bordering on ecsiacy over the so- called split in the Republican party, but, while Republicans here deplore the ap- parently hopeless differences that have recently culminated In the individual es- trangement of distinguished party lead- ers, they see nothing in the situation to menace the integrity of the party itself. The Conkling-Platt resignation is al- luded to in conversation only incidentally to-day. Everybody seems to think that neither of them will be returned by the New York Legislature. A personal and intimate friend of Ex-Senator Conkling said, last night, that Mr. Conkling would not allow his pame to go before the Leg- islature under any circumstauces. He said that Conklivg has fully determined to retire to private life, and pursae his profession. ‘Conkling is,” this gentle- man said, “a poor man, and the salary of senator is not sufficient to meet his ex- penses. He has long contemplated quit- ting public life, and had several splendid offers in his profession, In fact, he consented very relactantly to his pame being used the last time he was elected ; but he was importuned so ‘strongly by personal friends, to whom he was under obligations fur past favors in a political way, that he was forced to accept the nomination, though greatly contrary to iis inelinaticn. Why, at the time he was elected, he actually said that he would resign the seat before the close of his has term.” Mr. Konkling is still in the city mak- ing preparations to leave Washington permanently ina day or two. He issur- rounded the eutire day with personal friends aud admirers, with whom he cou- verses freely, and seems in the best of spirits. He does not appear at all con- cerned about the tarn affairs have takea. They say he is really giad to get away ‘from the aunoyances and profitiess labor ot political life, and does uot wish to aud iin A yk l decline to be returved. s. -<S- no’s VWorshipers.

Se ENFORCE THE Stock Law.—There are afew citizens of town who practically nullify the stock law by permitting their stock to run at large. Cows may be seen almost every day grazing in the commons back of Mr. Shober’s residence and on the vacant lot beyond the Toll House. This subjects crops to depredation and rnin ; for under the stock law owners of stock are required to keep them on their own premises, which is meant to be a protection to crops not under fence. But there can be no misunderstanding on this point. Thetown police could make a good day’s work by impounding stock thus out in violation of the law, and it is hoped they will doit. Any citizen may drive cattle to the pound and receive the fee. It is not a compliance with the law to pasture cattle en grounds with an in- sufficient fence to keep them in. ee Treatmet of the German Laborers. Ricumonp, Va., May 2tst., 1881. THeo.

A few days agoacable dispatch was received in this city stating that the owners of a steamship line in Hall, Eng- land, had contracted with parties in Nor- way and Sweden to bring about eighty thousand emigrants from those countries to the United States. Mr. Christian Bors, the Norwegian and Swedish Consul, said yesterday that such a contract had been made with the owners of the Wilson linc of steamers. The emigration from the countries he represents to the farming lands of the West is rapidly developing, and the applications for transportation during the winter months were so great that a contract with one company became necessary. The Wilson line offered the greatest advantages, having a fleet of vessels, running between Hull and the principal ports in Norway and Sweden, besides having a mutual agreement with all the trans-atlantic steamship compa- nies. It proposes to carry the emigrants to Hull and then sends them by train to Liverpool, where they will be transferred to steamers fur New York. Mr. Sander-- son, the agent of the Wilson line, said that the emigration from Norway and Sweden during this summer and fall will probably exceed the number contracted for, as a knowledge of the vastness and wealth of this country has become famil- iar to them during the past few years. The emigrauts will be reccived on the company’s steamers at the ports of Chiris- tiana and Bergen in Norway, and at Got- enburg in Swenden. After their arrival at Hull they will be assigned to different steamers belonging the National, Inman, White Star and Cunard lines, which sail from Liverpool. He did not know wheth- er the contract was to take the emigrants beyond New York. a Dirp.—At the residence of his son, L. F.

Be- sides the account of adveutures upon the sea from the days of the Ark to the At- lantic Telegrah, it contains semething like three hundred pictorial illustrations that give much aduitioual interest to the work. Ido not know of any more satis- factory account of the sea in print, and those who wish to understand this subject would do well to buy the book. JETHRO Rt Salisbury, May 24th, 1831. EL Es Mr. D. Remp, of Canada, is in our city in the interest of a book entitled “Jfistory of the Sea.” We have examined the book, aud together read portions of it. We have found it not only entertaining, bat also highly instructive. While it is in- deed a valuable history of the sea, there is sufficient variety of matter to enchiain | the iuterest throughout.

The story was Incorrect in material points, and we give here the correct version of the oeeurrence as it has been told within the past few days by parties who were from the immediate scene. “Absalom Brown, a widower, liv- ing near Vernon Chareh, Union Grove Township, went away fron home leaving his three little children alone on the lot. Lhe youngest of these children, a boy aged sume three years, has all his life been weak and sickly, and the two older children, a boy and a girl, the eldest about ten years of age, cunceived the idea of putting him out of the way, since he had frequently threatened to die, but yet lived on miserbly, with no pro- mise of ever being any better. They aceordingly tied a rope around his neck and swung him up to a joist of the house, where le was found a few minutes later by a colored wotnan of the neighborhood who passed threugh the lot on an errand to another neigh- bor. This woman cut the child down and laid it on the bed, when it began to gasp and finally regained conscious- ness. She then went her way and re- turning homeward some time later, stopped again at Brown’s house, when she ascertained that the brether and sister had taken the young child off of the bed, carried it out behind the garden and buried it. She tuen hast- ened to the scene of the burial, dug the child up, carried it to the house and had the satisfaction of seeing it again return to fe under her treat: ment. Her good offices, however, only postponed the end a little. The shock to the delicate brother’s system was such that on the Sunday suceecd- ing his execution and burial he died, surely enough,” Almcies, | te the second daughter. ne | Mary ied un- Andersoa mar | Dickey and Nee | Mt.

The New York Herald, which so ardently championed Conkling’s side in the Garfield contest, is now devoting some editorial at- tention to the Republican party, to which it pays respects in the following style, which we clip from an editorial in the is- suc of the 23d inst. : The public, we say, looks on with amuse- ment or careless unconcern ; for the publie is tired of the Republican party.

The Re- publican tricksters and jobbers have cried wolf whic they were feathering their own nests, but the respectable part of the coun- try begins to see through them.

NASUVILLE, May 25.—A_ bill was served on the comptroller yesterday by the sheriff of this county, enjoin- ing the funding board from carrying out the requirements of the par at 3 per cent. funding act. The bill alleges that mineral and home railroad bonds anid bonds issued for war interest and War purposes were illegally issucd; that the funding act was procured by bribery ; that members of the Legis- lature were speculating in Tennessee bonds whea the act passed, and that one member received $10,000 and another $15,000 for voting for the act. The bill further charges that the act Is unconstitutional, becanse it aps propriatcs a revenue for 99 years while the constitution prohibite ap- propriations for longer than two years; also, because it confers judicial pow- ers on executive officers to pass upon the legality of the bonds; that by the coupon feature the school fund is di- verted from its legitimate purpose ; that it provides for funding bonds held by certain bondholders but ex- cepts bonds held by charitable and educational institutions; that the act fails to recite in its caption or other- wise the title or substance of the law repealed, revived or ameaded ; that it repeals a section of the act of March 1875, prohibiting the reception of anything but treasury warrants, gold and silver, United States bank notes and old issue of the Bank of Tennes- see for taxes, by making coupons re- eeivable for taxes. The bill further alleges that the act is ambiguous, and asks for a construction of the act by the court. The bill of injunction was presented to Judge Williams Winchester and a fiat granted on the 20th of May. Comptroller Notas, one of the wembers of the funding byard, says no action will be taken to dissolve the injunction until the re- turn of State ‘Treasurer Polk and Secretary of State Nunn. 8 = Thomas A.

There was a want of unanimity in the committee on other matters which were discussed, and resolutions were offeied, it is supposed, in ridienle of the colored con- vention, which was held in Raleigh the week before. In brief the resolutions were, that as the colored people of the State cast the bulk of the Republican vote they deserve a larger share of pat- ronage from the party ; therefore, where the colored element perdominates nu- merically, ia the matter of county elec- tions and offices, none but colored meu should be nominated and elected to said offices.

The administration men met for con- ference last evening. There were fifty- seven present and notes from thirteen more, saying they will vote for the men who will support the administration. Resolutions were adopted pledging all present to withhold their support from Conkling and Platt. There was general despondecy visible this morning among the stalwarts, and an exuberance anong their opponents. The next development will be a vote in each honse at noon to-day, whea the trae situation will be demonstrated. The balloting resulted in no decisive conclusion as to theactual strength of the pumerous candidates voted for.

We hear it stated that in some instances the German -immigtants who have been brought into this section and hired out, have been badly fed and housed, and as a consequence have become dissatisfied, and that some of them in consequence have left for other parts and others have written to friends not to come. Some one in Rowan county has called the attention of Mr. Pope, the immigrant agent to the ilk treatment of some of these people by em- ployers in that county, and he has writ- ten his agent at Salisbary to investigate and ascertain what truth there may be in the reports. We know nothing about the facts, but only know that such reports are current, and we regret it, whether true or false. No better class of laborers could be brought into this country than these Germana, for they are thrifty, in- dustrious, law-abiding people. If they are well treated and like the country, these hired laborers will in a little while become the owners of farms, because they are suber, economical and will from their earnings lay away enough to purchase homes for thenselves. In many sections of the west‘they own und cultivate large tracts.of copiry almost exclusively oc- cupied by them, and are classed as the best of citizens. It will be so here in time. . Bat they will not be satisfied with corn They have been used to better where they came from, and they have come here to improve their condition, not to make it worse. It is the part of policy then, as well as of justice, to treat them well, if it is desired to encourage their coming hither, which we take for granted is the case. We would suggest the appoint- ment at points along the raflroad at which they are landed, of committees to look after them, with some one who can speak their language, to counsel with them and give them such information us about the country as they would naturally desire Rev. John 8. Price, as black as tar, spoke here last week on prohibition, and whites and blacks crowded the court honse.. He is a fine declaimer, his language smooth, eme- theme, a good eld-fashiened temperance talk captivated the whole court house. Some of the first men present pronounced him splendid. One said his speech was un- answerable, but it was simply a declama- tion to arouse mourners, with very little hard fact and common sense reason address- ed to theyminds. We thought this theugh, that could the Yankees only look in there and see that crowd of many of the finest white men and old slave owners of the country sitting attentively and respectfully, and applauding with generous zest every manly sentiment that fell from that negro’s lips, they might well blush fer shame at how they slander the peop!e of the South.— Reidsville Zimes. ES A GENERAL SwInDLE.—The shipment of damaged corn from the West to the South has been generally complained of, and ad- vices from merchants and farmers show that a general swindle has been perpetrated. The matter is made gricvous from the fact that when shipping, a bill of lading is sent out from the West, which is collccted on re- ceipt ef the corn.

It the scheme succeed, who will be so bold asta say “J tried to prevent it?” If it fail of success, who will be hurt? The Goveruer being asked what de- wmoustration.ef inclination and ability would satisfy him, replied, “work and labor done and deposits of bonds or money here in North Carelina as coilat- eral security.” It is understood the par- ties are willing to comply promptly and satisfactorily with this demand. There are always those who are ready to suggest the existence of difficulties when in fact they do not exist. The great difficulty suggested in this case, upon which the whole enterprise seems to hinge is that of again getting control of the Western road aud making it a part of this scheme This suggestion implies that Col. Andrews, Col. Buford, Gen. Logan and those associated with them will re- fuse to permit this grand enterprise for the development of North Carolina to be consumated. We will not believe it till we hear it from theirown lips. Col. Andrews is a North Carolinian, so is Col. Buford. North Carclina has made Col. Andrews what he is, and the Richmond and Danvile Railroad, ever which Col. Buford presides, what it is. When the commissioners of the West- erp road become satisfied of the ability and intention of these Boston capitalists to carry out this scheme, they are pre- pared to give it and the capitalists their hearty co-operation.

We cannot rehearse his speech, but heartily wish that every man and woman in the state could lave heard him. He made the matter.very plain—no one could fail to understand. Do not fail to hear the Judge if you ever have another opportunity. : After the speech, the ladies in the gal- lerries showered huge boquets on the speaker. ——0 A Charlotte cigar store man called yesterday to see a Morganton paper, with the hope of finding the name of some man in Morganton from whom he might pur- chase some Sally Mical pipes, which are known to be a “standard” article in Burke, The. paper was found but it contained no Morganton advertisements, except a cuo- ple of lawyers’ cards.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MINING RECORD. Sirn:—Mining in- this Stateié being losked upon as it should ‘be, and asa legitimate business, The pioneer days of speculators and men who live in expecting tu make for- tunesina few weeks, are things of the past. The great drawback to our mining in- teresta inthis couotry, is the lack of faith, encouragement aud enterprise in the peopie of the State. They lack faith, because of fear of ex- pending money aud employiug intelli- gence to work their mines and prove their fruitfolness. Many of them will ackuowledge to having Leen made “well of” by the wine or mines. But this they geueraliy at- tribute to some rich pocket. Thus it has been that when the rich pocket is ‘‘play- ed out” they have abandoned the enter- prise for fear of expending a little movey to further development. All this is due to their Inck of faith and knowledge in the work. They lack enterprise, because of their lore of sceing two dollars before one is put at risk. The people of the State can take no credit to tlremselves, as re- gards the development of the mineral product or even giving encouragement to those trying to do so. The exceptions in this case are the Charlotte Observer aud Salisbury Watch- man. These papers deserve mutch credit Sa tceeeeetiann teins limeenee“ubeeienetee ate ke aa 2 from Dr. Talinage’s Sermon.

Yet the Record fails to receive auy patronage from the people. Let us hope that the people of the State will open their eyes, and ask them- selves these questions; Are our miming interests a benefit to us? And if they are not legitimate, why do they succeed ? Having come to the necessary conclu- sion, let them look with more interest to the support that supports them. I am an interested party in this great enterpriseand want to see it succeed.

In the years agone, when De Witt Clin- ton county, was the county seat and a right smart village in the woods, or on the way to be, the editor of its weekly paper had some subscribers who paid in wood, others in produce, others in far, and others yet who didn’t pay at all. One of these latter class was named Lem- on, but te squeeze anything out of him was next to impossible. He had excuses at his tongue’s end for not paying, and the longer the debt stood the more rea- sonable his excuses seemcd to his credi- tors. One day the editor met him on the street, and after a gencral grecting began on him with: “Mr. Lemon, you have been owing me for two years.” “Yes, but I had bad luck in my sugar bush.” “But you might have brought me wood.’ “So I should, but I broke two new axes and couldn’t bay another.” “I offered to take it out in turnips and corn.” “T know, but the crows ate up my corn and the Injuns stole all my turnips.” “Well, how are you getting alopg now?” asked the editor. “Pirst-rate.” “Have you got a good run of sugar %” Vig 2 “Corn doing well 2” “Splendid.” “Wheat all right?” “Yes, all right.” “Well, if corn, wheat, potatoes and turuips turn out good, aud you keep well, and you have no losses, will yon pay me in the fall ?” The farmer scratched his head and tvok a full minute to think over it before he replied: “That’s an honest debt and orter be paid, but I won't positively agree to square up this fall until I know what sort of a corn season we are to have!” It is needless to say that he never squared.— Detroit Free Press. —— pe A WoNDERFUL SToRY.—A man in the Whittaker’s Mill section, in Nash county, some time ago, set a turtle hook iu a cer- tain pond on acertain night; going the next morning to see what be had caught imagine his astonishment to see on his heok a large catfish, a hawk and an owl. He accounted for the strange incident in this way: The hawk seeing the fish, swooped down, thinking to catch the fish aud Limself was caught; the owl coming along and secivg the hawk, pounced up- ou him and was caught and held by the hawk till all were in the hands of the successful fisherman. a Tre Liquor DEALers’ ANTI-PROHIBI- TION CONVENTION.—The convention met at Metropolitan Hall just before neon to- day.

Toward the close of the last cen- tury a boy was apprenticed to a to- bacconist in New York City. Ile did netg know how to read, or write, or cipher. Neither lis occupants nor his associates fayored his purpose; but he determined to learn what some one had wittily called the three R’s — reading, ’riting, ’rithmetic. After working twelve hours, he spent his evenings, no’, as his fellow- apprentices did in amusements, but io atudying the spelling book, and arith- metic, and in copying letters and syl- Jables and words. In a year or two he became profi- | cient in these elements of an educa- tion. Then he began the study of French. When he could read in that language, lie took up German. His father was a Frenchman aad his moth- é: a German, a fact which, doubtless, explains why he studied these two Janguages. In three or four years he found himself able to read English, French and Gerinan, but witnout books and no money to buy them, He had, how- | ever, two brothers who also were to- baceonists. [le worked for them at night, after working all day for his own “boss.” From the sma!l wages they paid him he saved up cnough money to purchase a few Looks, Then he gave up nightework and read his new books. When he bad mastered them he resumed Jsis work at bis brother’s shop, and Laight more books. When he became Jacob Lorillard, the millionaire, these books oecupied the place cf Lonor in his library, For they were the memoriats of his early ambition and industry. arate - The Sound of Thunder. Many persons have an indistinet idea of what the thunder. Prot, Tait attempts to ex- plain it as follows: ©The origin of the sound is, in all eases, to be looked for in the instan- taneous and violent dilatation of the air along the track of the lightnin flash, partly, no doub + t | | causes aD , due to the disruptive eficcts of electricity, but mainly due te the excessive rise of temperature which renders the air for a momnnt so Lriliantly incandescent. There is thus an extremely sudden compression of the air all round the track of the spark, aud a less sudden, but still rapid, rush of the air into the partial vacium which it produces. Thus the sound-wave produecd must at first be of the nature of a bere or breaker. But as such a state cf mo- tion is unstable, after proceeding a moderate distance the sound becomes analogous to otuer loud but Jess vio- lent sounds, such as those of the dis-| charge of guns. Were there few clouds, were the alr of nearly uniform density, and the flash a short one this would completely describe the phenomenon, and we should have a} thunder crash or a thunder clap, ac- cordiug to the greater or less proxim- ity of the seat of discharge, But, as has long been well know n, hot mere- Jy clouds but surfaces of separation of masses of diffurent destiny such as con- stantiy eecur in thunder-storms, re- flect vibrations in the air; and thus we may have many suceessiye echoes prolonging the original sound. But there is another cause, often more ef- ficient than these. When the flash js a long one, all its parts being nearly equi-distant from the observer, he hears the sounds from all these parts simultaneously ; but if its parts be at di ferent distances from him he hears successively the sounds from portions | character for: sound of vr. The Folly of the Day. There isa dreadful ambition abroad for being ‘genteel.’ We keep ap ap- | pearances too often at the expense of ‘honesty; aud though we may not be rich, yet we must seem to be ‘respect- able,’ though only in the meanest sene+in mere vulgar show. We have not the courage te go patiently enward in the condition of life in which it has pleased God to call us; but must needs live in some fashionable state, to which we ridiculously please to call ourselves, and ll to gratify the vanity of that unsubstantial, gen- teel world, of which we form a part. | There is a constant struggle and press- ‘ure for front seats in the social am- |phitheatre ; in the midst of which all noble, self-denying resolves is trod- den down, and many fine natures are linevitably crushed to death, What waste, what misery, what bankruptey, come from all this ambition to dazzle lothers with the glare of apparent ‘worldly success, ve need not describe. The mischeivous results show them- selves in a thousand ways—in the rank frauds committed by men who dare to be dishonest, but do not dare ‘to seem poor; and in the desperate | dashes at fortune, in which the pitty ‘is not so much fer those who fail, as for the hundreds of innocent families whe are so often involved in the ruin. | —ITome Journal. | — - ee Johnny Boonspiller goes to school ‘and he loves eggs, but during the re- jcent egg famine, when the price was hat such a point that one would have tu mortgage his house to buy a straw lout of ahen’s nest, Johnny had to give wu» his fiv rite food, About this ‘time, the class, of which he was a brilliant member, was called to give ‘definitions.

It spoils too many hewers of wood and idrawers of water, and douwt make y else of ’em.

Great quantities are used for piano | and organ keys. Diiliard balls are made of vetinloid at half the price of ivory, and are more durable and equally elastic. Large amounts are used for combs | of every variety, for the backs of brushes and handmirrors,and all kinds of toilet articles for which ivory has been employed.

To show that sheep can be raised with ease aud profit, we may mention that Chatham reports some fourteen thousand head, Union some twelve thousand, Ran- dolph some cleven thousand, Haywood 6,400, Macon 7,620, Madison 6,612, Moore 7,720, Orange 6,529, Granviile 6,862 — Coming towards the ocean we tiu dep with 900, Carteret 1,100 Craven near- ly 2,000, Duplia nearly 5,000, Onslow 2,- 518, Sampson nearly 3,000, and Let us raise more sheep.

The wool business in California is eon- ducted with special reference to making money by it. They have large and the busincss is ou a scale to justify employiug herders to watch the sheep aod protect them against wolves and theives. It is all different in North Car- olina ; but if the dogs were out of wool growing could be noy part of our State—in the mountains and pine plaingéspecially.

Why, they are the poor prisoners, not one of whom from the day that he enters prison, is allowed to tonch a drop of alcohol, and who, in consequence of this restriction, are as a class, in spite of | all their other disadvantages, so coni- pletely the healthiest class of people in England that there isa lower rate of mor- tality amoung prisoners than there among professional men, and that as the is death rate stands highest of all among publicans who sell alchohol, so it stands lowest amony the prisoners, who are ab- solutely deprived of every drop of it.” rm Bishop Harris, of Michigan, will dcliver the oration at the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Tniversity of Alabama, at Tusealoosa, on July 8.

Epitor: Please gran+me the space in your highly esterived paper to say a few words respecting the progress of the Prohibition questivun among the colored people. . ; It is certainly gratifying to us to hear such liberal expressions of opinion on this subject from so many legitimate cit- izens of our race. It is extremely cheer- ing to know that the sentiments which are now being so ably supported by many of our influential colored citizens are hav- ing their desired effect among the masses of tne colored people in Rowan, They prove their appreciation of the the temperance movement: by organizing Temperance Lodges and. Clubs, and ia uniting themselves tagether to drive in- | temperance from our land, they pledge their hearcy support to assist iu remov- ing the terrible curse that threatens the vigor? of our race. Tntemperanee is one of the great causes why the colored man has vot made more progress iu the eleva- tion of himscit in the social and ioral lseales of life.

During a recent visit to this enterpris- ing little town in Davidson County we found the mining interest lively. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. R. B. Knapp superintendent of the Eureka Gold Mine and mill. The mine is lying idle on account of the present company’s inability to work its heavy refractory ores—which areof a very high grade —tho battery is ten strong. We also met, Mr. Trueman Coman of New York, who is developing property in Mongomery Co., E. A. Allen, New York, J. H. Jones, England, E.A. Albee, Boston, Eugene Fichet. Washington, D. C., Dr. Jas. Wilkins, Baltimore, Nicholas Popp- lein, and H. A. Hilton, New York, S. W. Neirer, Wilkesboro, Pa., T. H. Salthouse, Ergland. In this vicinity there are the following equiped mines: Silver Hill, Welborn Mine, Nooe Mine, Enreka Mine, Keystone Mine, Hoover Hill Mine, Silver Valley Mine and Conrad Hill. Our stay was very short, but we hope to visit some of these mines during the summer. ee CONRAD HILL MINE. This property, lying in the eastern part of Davidson county, is one of the oldest and best properties ip this section. It was our pleasure to visit it last Tuesday. Afiera pleasant ride from Thomasville, we drove into a well shaded and grass cov- ered grove. Dotted on the gradual slope were some thirty houses, making a strik- ingly lively scene, in comparison to the country through which we had just pass ed. The houses were well built, cleanly kept, and whitewashed ; a beautiful con- trast to the verdaut grove which gradu- ally deepened into a forest. Our party was met by the gentlemanly clerk, Mr. J. F. MeKee, who kindly took charge of us. The first thing to be done was to see the mine: Throwing on a rubber coat we went to the engine shaft house, where we found a large double hoisting }engine, of 30 horse power, which we con- i cluded would be strong enough for us to Stepping on the bucket we were soon landed on the 163 foot level, where the main vein had been cut. There were iseveral drifts started from this point, long the sides of these, great masses of copper and gold ore were exposed. Iu some places there was exposed. solid *prill copper” to the thickuess of two or Further on we came to the Holding a candle in the quartz sparkled like a mass of diamonds.

This mine is iu splendid condition in every vespect ; every thing has been done in a substantial and business like man- ber, aud shows that these gentlemen be- lieve that mining in North Carolina is a practied and profitable busiiess. This is said because some are inclined to look on miuing as a species of gambling and net as a legitimate and thoroughly trust- worthy business. We predict that Conrad Hill will goa bow shot ahead of the mapy mives vow in operation in this section, and that it will bea dividend paying mine very shorthy after the mills start. Mining Movementsin Alexander, Prof. W. E. Hidden was in town Tues- day. He has completed the tunnel on his mining property in Alexander county, and is prosecuting a vigorous search for “Hiddenite.” The tunnel is 261 feet long, 4 fect wide and6 high. He has sunk a shaft to the depth of 26 feet and is going deeper. On the 24th uls., he again struck the. vein in which the “Hiddenite” is found, aud made the first find since October last. Gems to the value of 81,000 were taken out in the space of two days. Some of thein were of wonderful size and brilliancy. Prof. Hidden exhibits a cut and polish- ed specimen of aquaramiue, species beryl, which he found about two months agoat the Ray Mica miue,in Yancey county, while prospecting there fer min- erals. It is a gem of large size and sur- passing beauty, its lustre being equalled only by that of the diamond. Aquarf® mine is found in its purity in Brazil and India, but it is to be questioned if a more magnificent specimen of it was ever found hour.-.-Judges, H J Overcash, Dan’l Beaver, A F Graeber, Chas.

W. W. Harris was exempted from poll tax and road duty for 5 years. Michael Earnhart allowed $3 from poor fund. Sixteen paupers reported at the Poor House.

Editor Watchman: Dear Sir: The local notice in your last issue, beginning thus: “The Salisbury Band went to Chapel Hill this week, &e., is fully appreciated; but I respectfully ask you to publish the following expla nation, because your notice, wnintention- ally, does injustice to the picked musi- cians from Statesville, Charlotte and Mt. Pleasant, who formed half of the mouth piece performers composing the Band who furnished music for the N.C. Uni- versity at Chapel Hill; and who only went because this was intended as the first effort to form a select N. C. Band that could) compete successfully with bands from other States,—all of whieh have one, or more, large cities which support professional band and orchestral musicians. North Carolina has not one town of the requisite number of juhabitants for this; and consequently —among her nine- ty bands—-there is no “one town band,” that is permanently, nor even temporari- ly, fit to reflect musical credit on the State. For home purposes—in their re- spective towns and counties,—many of them are more than suitable—at times ; but not for the State University. But as a more pertinent illustration I will cite the Yorktown Centennial where each of the thirteen original States will be repre- sented by a brigade of soldiers, and—to be complete—each will be aecompanied by a fine, full band,”’—it must be clear to all that the N. C. Brigade would appear to better advantage, in comparison with her sister States, without music, than as attended by the Band of any “oue town” in the State. And evena picked Band, —of tluent, correct readers and good per- formers of music, must have plenty of fine musie and thoroughly good musical directorship. Both of these cau be fur- nished by myself and brother; and un- der the title of ‘The Neaves’ N. C. Band,” the heart burning arising from supposed geographical discrimina‘ions will be alla.e!. This, in itselt, is of some importance, When il is ecusidered that not one of the ninety is wholly good or full, viewed musicaliy, and each thinks, “Our band is the best in the State.” The ef- fort, or experiment is to be earnestly made, by which N.

From what I had heard and scen, I soon made up my mind that the individual behind me not only wanted to rob me of my mail, but was prepared to rob me of my life. If I resisted him he would shoot me, and perhaps he meant to perform that delectable operation at any rate. While Iwas pondering, the horses plunged into another snow drift, and Iwas again foreed to get out and tread it down before them.

I wasw’t long in making up my mind upon a few essential points, First, the man bebind me wasa, villian ; second he had cut epea the mail bag and robbed it of some valuable matter— Parental Crutzlty. Look at that young lady, nineteen years of age, who cannot read a news- paper without an eye-glass upon her pretty nose! She intended to go to Philadelphia last year to study medi- cine, but the failure of her eye sight prevented her from going, and her brightest hopes of the future are clouded over. At nincteen, tov! Why ? Because her parents were cruel to her. She liked to sit up in the night reading fine print by a kero- sene lamp, and they had the crueity to let her doit. The worst possible cruelty is to let childrea have their own way when it does them harm. There is a lonesome man ina hand- some house, from whom bis wife has fled, worn out by many years of ‘abuse and violence. From biby- hood to manhood, that man was rath- lessly spoiled by cruel parents. They flattered him, laughed at bis outbarts of passion, supported him in his re- bellious and vulgar insolence at school. With his little brain and big passions, it was impossible te live with him on fair terms. It would have been less cruel tou have killed him in his baby inneceuce than to have Jet hia: grow up so. There are many forms of cruelty. Harsh words, harsh biows, hard fre, hard work, all these sre sometimes cruel, but ordinarily the pain they {feet is of short duration. ‘Tie eruel- ty of which we now speak may give pleasure for an hoar, pain for seven- ty vears, and shame for geverations.

Brandreth’s Pills assist nature in all her effurts. It is nature that cures disease and not medicine, Every other course of treat- ment only (hrows great obstacles in the way of the constitution.

THE MINISTER'S STORY. “Look here, Sally !” Mrs. Deacon Farrell brushed the as from her hands, casting mean- while a complacent eye over the well- filled kitchen table, with the generous array of unbaked pies and cakes; the plump turkey stuffed and trussed) for the morrow’s baking, and the ehick- en pie to which her fingers had put | the finishing touches, as she repeated rather more decidedly : ‘Look here, Sally!

What, in all creation, if anybody can tell me does she mean by them ?? Tnvoluntarily she took a step for- ward, but checked herself’ quickly, while a cannons smile replaced the look of perplexity, and she muttered triumphantly, ‘T guess Laia’t agoin’ ter confess my iguorance to the deacon’s wife and let her have her say as she always does. ‘Two terms to the ’cademy, Sally, and not know that! No maa! ‘not while there’s a dictiouary in the house!’ So, sofily creeping into the adjoin- jing sitting room, Sally hastily open- eda big dictiynary on the deacon’s writing desk and began ber search for the mysterious word, ‘G-i-b—here it is!’ and she read aloud to berse!f, with an air of tri- uinph, the following definition : ‘Lhose parts of a fowl that sre re- mevel before cooking—the heart, gizzard, liver &e.,’ ‘ ~th. 9 v ‘That's it—heart, g’zzard, liver,and v so forth,’ she repeated joyfully, as she retraced her steps to the kitchen, aud began with alacrity to fill, aecording to directions, the minister’s pie; keep- ing meanwhile, a running fire of com- ment for her own special benefit. ‘Six gizzards! Well, that is rather ‘steep,’ as Dan Watson would say. But I guess the deacon’s wife kuows ; if she don’t tain’t none of my busi- hess. Six hearts! Them’s small, and tuck into the corners handy. Six liv- ers! Scems ter me they don’t fill up much, and she glanced, with a per- plexed air, at a pile of denuded chick- eu bones that formed ber only re- suurce, ‘Now I wonder,’ with a sudden in- spiration, ‘what that and so forth means? Here’s hearts, gizzards and livers, plenty of ’em, but no and-so- forth, and the pie ain’t more than two thirds fuil yer. It must be,’ and she cast a bewildered look at the half- filled pie, ‘the chicken’s legs! I nev- er knew anyone to put them in a pie, but thar must be what it means and they’il just fll up. No sooner thodght than done. In Went three pairs of stout yellow legs upon which their unfortunate owners had strated about so proudly only the day before; on went the well-rolled dough, covering taem from sight, in- tu the oven Went the ministers pie, Just as the mistress of the house re- entered the Kitchen, and with an ap-, proving look at the snowy pastry, re- morked encouragingly : ‘that pie looks real neat, Sally. L should not wonder if, in time, you came to be quite a covk,’ ‘Tt was Thanksgiving morning, and Miss Patience Pringle stood at the minister’s door, ‘To be sure it) was rather early for callers, but Miss Prin- gle was, as she often boasted, fone of the kind that pever stood on ceremo- ny? Ludeed, she didu’t even consid- er it necessary to knock vefore she opened the door, although she was thoughtful enough to open it softly. Phe minister’s wife was just taking from the oven a newly warmed chick- ed pie, which she nearly dropped frou her hands, so startled was she by the sharp, shrill voice that spoke so close to her. ‘Good mornin’, Miss Graham. Good mornin’. Hain’t been to breakfast yet TL see. We had ours half a hour ago. IT remember my mother used to say that if anybody Jost an hour in the morning they might chase it all day and not cateh up with it then? ‘Thats a good looking pie-—pretty rich pastry, though, for chicken pie! [ dowt never put much shortning in anything of that Aind, its rich enough inside to make up. Bat you’re young and have got a good many things to learn yet. Trunin ter see if vou could spare mea cup of yeast; mine soured and the last batch of beead I made, T had ter throw to the bogs.’ Certainly,’ and a roguish smile flit- ted over the fair face of the minister’s wife, at this specimen of her meddle- some neighbor's own economy, Bat she had learned a real lessou of judi- cions silence, and taking the cup that Miss Fatience produced from veneath her shawl, she bade her visitor be seated while she left the ryuom to get the des red article. As her steps died away, Miss Pa- tience boisciessly arcse from her seat and aproaching the dresser upon which the pic stood, peered curiously inty the apertures in the crust, her sharp face expressing eager curiosity. ‘Vil bet a winepence she didu’t kuow enough ter put crackers in. I wish Tcould get one look just to satisfy my own mind,’ she added. And de- termined to accomplish ber object at all hazards, she ran a knife deftly around a small portion of the edge, and inserting four inquisitive fingers, lifted the brown crust, and tocka glimpse of the contents, A lock of unmitigated disgust past over her face. Dropping into a chair, she actually groaned aloud. ‘Well, L never! and we payin’ that man five hundred dollars a year, ‘e- sides a donation party at) Christuas. Ough! Unsuspicious Mrs. Graham, as she returned with the yeast, was soine- what poziled by the sudden frostiness of her guest, who burried out of the house as if some dreadtal contagion had haunted it, But when the min- ister, in carving the pie that the dea- con’s wife had seut, made two curi- ous di-coveries almost simultaneously, the reasons for Patience’s altered de- meanor was made plain, and the young pair had a hearty laugh that made the old) parsonage rivg like a peal of Thanksgiving bells. The Tuesday following was the reg- ular day for the weekly sewing-circle, and seldom had that interesting gath- ering proved so lovely and auimated as Os) this vecasion. Miss Patience was in the field bright and early, and it was evident ata glance to these who knew her best that sie was well nigh bursting with some inuportant secret that she was only awatting a fitting oppcrtunity to divulge. That opportunity was not | long in coming, for Mrs. Deacon Far- rel, who was a constitutional croaker, SALISBURY. N. C., JUNE 16, i891. took occasion to say, in reference to the hard times—‘ 1 le deacon has been | tryin’ ter collect the church tax and he says he never fonud money go tight in all the years he’s lived here. It’s as hard uow to get five dullars as it used to be to get ten.’ | ‘And no wonder,’ spoke up Miss Patience, with the stony severity of a sphinx, ‘You can’t expect fulks ter feel like pay'n’ out their money when they see it fairly thrown away and wasted,’ Everybody Jooked. @urivus, and some of the young girls began to bri- | dle defiantly, Tue miuister’s sweet | young wile was evidently a favorite | with them at least. ‘What do you mean | ed Mrs. Farrel,. pojifediy. ‘Miss Graham is youug avd inex perieuved | tu be sure; but, as, the deacon was’ say.” yesterday, ste does very well indeed cousiderin’. Patience tussed her head knowing- ly. ‘2 deu’t want to say nothing to hurt her, but livin? next door as L do, 1 can’t always help seein’ and hearin’ things that other folks can’t be ex- pected to Kuow about, and when I see and know things like—’ There was au eiminvus pause, and the deacon’s wife asked, excitedly — ‘Like what ?’ ‘Chicken p.es, with legs and feet of tue chicken baked in! Had a thunderbolt’ then fallen amoung them, it could uot have caused greater surprise to those tidy, thiitty New England housekeepers than this dreadful revelation of tue inchpacity of the pastor’s young wile. ‘Are you sure of it?’ gasped one matrou, breaking the ominous silence. ‘Lam certain of it for a fact,’ was sol- emuly returned, ‘Chicken legs in a pie? ‘She’s a born tool,’ ejaculated the deacon’s wile, indignantly, and Va thankful for her poor husband’s sake that Lsent her over one of my pies yesterday. They had to throw her’s away, of course, and iv’s provi- dential that he didn’t have to go with- oul his Thanksgiving dinner on ac- count of her ignorance and shifiless- hess,’ ‘How did you find ont about the pie?’ inquired one of the girls, Miss Patience bristled defiantly.— That’s nobody’s business Lut my own,’ she retorted tartly. “don’t go around ter find out things that dou’t concern me, Pd have you understand! bat when they areihrown right in my face, as you might say, [ don’t shut my eyes any more’ other people.’ Just here the door opened and in stepped the subject of their conversa- tion, with her pretty face glowing withe haste she had made, and a mis- chievous smile that nobody noticed, so pre-ocupied were they in hiding the covfusion that her sudden entrance had created. Stepping up to the table where most of the ladies were sitting, she salut- ed them cordially ; and then holding out upon the tip of one slender finger a well-worn thimble, she said archly: ‘Where do you suppose I found your thimble, Miss Patience ?’ So pleased was Miss Patience to re- gain her lost treasure that she forgot for a momentall her assumed dignity, and exclaimed joy fuily : ‘Well, I declare, L am glad to see that thimble ounce more! IT told Mary Jane that [felt sure Thad it ou my finger when Torun into) your house Thanksgivia’ morniu’ arter that yeast. Bat when I got home it) wa’ut no- where to be found. Now where did you find it? Her shrill, high voice had at- tracted the attention of all in the room, and everybody, of course listen- ed curiously as the minister's wife re- plied, with an innocent smile— ‘In the chicken-pie that our good friend here’—aad she nodded bright- ly to Mrs. Farrel—‘sent me. I left the pie on the dresser when I went down in the celler after your yeast, and as soon as I came back, I put it on the tab, and when my hu-band ent it, there was your timble in it. How could it have got there? It is certainly very mysterious, anyway. Silence, dead silence, yet, oh, how terribly signifiant to the deacon’s wife and ber spinster neighbor, fell upou the group. z This was appareantly unnoticed by Mrs. Graham, with a playful admoni- tion to Miss Patience to have better care of her thimble in the future, be- gan an animated conversation with the ladies nearest her that soon re- stored the company to their wonted ease and good humor. But poor Miss Patience! She never heard the last of that lost thimble. While the deacon’s wife. to the day of her death, never trusted any hands but her own to make a Thanksgiving pie for her minister. ! ! that?

Interview with the American Consul at Panama— Progress aud Character of the Work. Cincinnatti Times, Mr. Joho M. Wilson, formerly a mem- ber of the Legislature from Hamilton | county, afterward for several years | American Consul at Hamburg, and now occupying the important post of Consul to Panama, is iu this city. | “How long since you left Panama, Mr. Wilson %” said the Times-Star representa- tive, after cordially greeting the gentle- man from the Isthaius. “Oh, abont two weeks.” “How goes the work on the great canal project?” * “Well, there is no great’ amount of work being doue yet. There are about negroes on the ground. The French sur- veyors are runuing lines aud the negroes clearing away the brush aud undergrowth with which the whole country is covered.” “Have De Lesseps’ representatives made any such start as to convince the people that the canal will be bailt?” “Tean’t say that they have. Before the Frenchmen came there was an idea that their advent would make times tirst- rate, and that every one who had avy- thing todo with the work would walk off with a hatful of money. Instead ot that they are managing things very care- fully. They have had very little mouey there, and spend very sparingly. They propose to divide the line of forty-five miles into sectious, aud proceed with each as a separate work. The task isa mach more difficult one than the publie scems to think, Inthe first place they must purchase the Panama Railroad. This will cost them about $20,000,000. It was some time ago reported thar they had done this, but it turned ont that the ne- gotiations had fallen through.” “As to the real work of building the canal ?” “This means forty-five miles of exca- vation, a part of the way through moun- tains three handred and fifty feet above what will be the surface of the canal, and the ent throngh the solid stove. This, eveu is not the most difficult part of the work. They propose to chauge the course ofa river which work alone will require a wall of solid mansonry over a mile and a half long and seventy feet high. These are mere incidents of the undertaking, and form no part of the actual labor of The $90,000,0U0, it is not believed, will anything like complete the vast work? There will probably be acanal built there at some time, but whether the present effort is to succeed or not reaiains to be seen.” “What kind of a country is it down there “The line of the caval is throngh a rough country, inhabited mainly by Chinese. ‘The country is full of malaria, and no haman being can stand it except Jamaica and Chinamen. The latter stand the climate, but die ot home- sickness. When building the Panama Railroad the superintendent of the work said his greatest difficuity was to keep digging the canal. hegroes the chinese laborers from committing sui- cide from homesickness. They would go ffin gangs of halfia dozen at a time aud hang themselves. The labor question is the hardest one to solve in estimating the cost of work. A man cannot do half as much there as ap During the wet season he capaot work, and when here. the dry season comes he must labor un- der a sun that sends the thermometer up to from 125 to 140.” “What kind ef a people are the na- tives?! “They are a mixture of French, In- dians and negroes.” “The government ?” “Panama is one of the nine States that make up the Republic of Columbia. Each State is a sovereign in the fullest sense of the term. A revolution in one State in no way disturbs the general govern ment. Panama elects a President every two years, and the event is one of much importance there as is our Presidential election here. The State also sends its representatives and Senators to the gen- eral government at Bogota, which, in a mild way, is an imitation of our form of goverpment.” ~—>—__—_—_ “If L Was President.” “Now, if I was President,” began Mr. Butterly of Prospect street, the other morning, as he passe his cup over for a secoud cup of coffee—"if I was President of the United States—” “Which yon aren’t you kno,” broke in Mra.

And then a meditative silence fell upon the family and remained there until the mecting arose.—Exchange. ee King Cotton. Probably the one great industry in which the Southern man takes most in- terest, hwever, is the raising aud manu facture of cotton. This is the royal plant that was the glory and wealth of the South in the past, and that is no doubt destined to work out its” financial salva- tion in the future. By all the signs of the times, King Cotton again. has come to his own So profitable is the cotton manu- facturing business that in certain sec- tions Northern capital goes begging, the home corporations having beeome weal- thy enongh to carry on the business. The culture of cotton is resumed, but with a difference. Instead of merely raising and selling the raw material, Southern men see the policy of manufac- turing, both for home use and export, They are filling their mills with the best Lowell made machinery, and are already producing goods of excellent quality. They perceive the bad management of sending the raw fibre to New England to be manufactured and then baying it back. Yhe day is not) far distant when the fin- est fabrics will be manufactured in the South, and ia the meantime the demand for what they already produce is so great that the wills have orders for all they cap furnish for mouths to come.

It was at first booted at by the people, but the Road was completed, waking a length of about eight anda half miles. There are eleven bridges on the road, one of which is over 100 feet long. The rails weigh twenty-five pounds to the yard. The road is well built and equipped. Onc grade is of 125 feet. The cars and engines will at first sight create wonder aud ad- miration. Their perfect proportions give them a handsome appearance. They are constructed very near the ground, giving them great advantages of safety. The The cars have an aisle with one seat on each side in the same manner as ordin- ary cars have two seats, each person hav- ing a seat to himself. The cars are sup- plied with closets, water tanks, are heat- ed by steam, and have all the modern improvements. They weigh but four and a half tons, ordinary cars weighing on an average of eighteep tons. Thetrainsran at the rate of twenty miles an hour with pertect safety. lind the tender, giving it greater adhe- sion to the track. They weigh eight tons aud draw two passenger and two freight cara.

Another freak of fashion is to wear an embroidered butterfly on one sleeve of -a dress, Jewelry seems to run in the form of snakes, lizards and the claws of birds. A pretty girl wears a boanet made of silvered silk, with leaves and flowers of silvery material fastened to one side with a silver turkey claw. What are called ‘theatre bonnets’ are made entirely ef flow- ers. One worn bya lady of fashion is com= posed of a purple pansy, one flower aléne, the centre of the flower being onthe top of the head, the purple and yellow leaves dropping gracefully over her golden hair.

Canton, Onto, June 4, 1881.—Frank Winkler, of Canal Fulton, in this county, coal miner, has received the astonishing in- telligence that hie brother has died in Eng- land leaving $45,000,000 to be divided be- tween him and five brothers and a sister. Winkler came to this country several years ago. His family was of humble parentage and born in Central Prussia, where four still reside, Forty years ago his elder breth- er left home to seek his fortune in some dis- tant clime. He went to Liverpool, and from there to the Cape of Good Hope, where he became a very successful diamond mer- chant and accumulated vast wealth. His family understood that he was Prosperous but that was all. He wrote them regular- ly, saying that he would surprise them some day. About two years ago they ceased hear- ing from him. Being alarmed the family endeavored to ascertain the facts of the matter, but learned nothing until they have now learned that he died on his way home to Prussia and has left them $45,009,000.

It is alleged that for a weck his house has been under a detective's eye, Who reports tothe Attorney General all who communicate with him. Itis said there is evidence not made public that will place Dorsey ina more embarrassing position than he nowis. In 1876 Dorsey was active and instrumental in exposing Blaine's con- nection with the Little Rock & Fort Smith Railroad, of Arkansas, which de- feated him for the Presidential nomina- tion.

A colored man namcd Jasper, living eight or ten miles from town, says that on Friday he and his little boy, about ten years old, were hoeing cotton; that he was some dis- tance ahead of his boy, who was working near the edge of the field, by some weeds and bushes. He heard his boy halloa, and losking around, did not sce him. He then © run to sce what was the matter. On arriv- ing atthe spot he found the lad on the ground in the coils of three Jarge black snakes. On his appearance the snakes pre- pared to fight him, and, seeing that they would soon choke his little boy to death, he cook his pocket knife and cut the one that had made the little fellow a very un- comfortable cravat into half a dozen pieces by inserting the knife next the lad‘’s neck and cutting upward. Hetben caught the others by the head and with his knife cut them intwoor three pieces. He was bit- ten several times.—From the Americus Ga.

All reforms beget opposition, and as it interests large classes of men the opposi- tion becomes in proportiot miore and more violent, The temperance question has engaged the thoughts of neu from: time imouene- rial. Many solations have been proposed tor the enforcement of it, and heace every oue should give the same caretnl tho ight to rid society of the greatest curse that ever afflicted the buwan family. No tongue cam express the evils of titemper- ance, and heave all should reflect apou measures for the eradication of it. Chris- Hanity and etvilization botlestaud array - ed against it, for reasons oly lous to every refeeding mind. Phat intemperance is a crime no oue will deny, as all the great Writers on hiuw treat the que-tioa as ser. led bevond controversy.” Bheekstone in Commentarios, 4th bouk, Raves that draukentess isa crime and jw execu, tor one crime cannot be privifedged by | the commutsston-eof anotaen. Taye iepisva- tire has the ight to suppress tis as any otuer Violation of lw; and the exer- cise of tiis clear and undoubted coustitn- Hloual authoritv, ought to do so, as much sO ads aVvsoh, robbery, burphary, or any other crime or misdemeanvr. No sane reflecting man can galasay the above propositiva ; aad no more cause of come phuut can justly be made against the lace prohibiiou Law than any constitu. tiod daw ever passed by any legislature atany Chae 5 and: here we mighe det the matter rest, We could say inore and wilt dose, as the sabje t demands a fall and free discussion, aad the frieads Kiaow chat the best iaterests of soviety are ad- vanced by feaperanee, Will avail them- slves of all coustitutional measares to seceure the same. We cannot do justice to the subject in this essay, but we will express our opiuion more atlirge ina future article, and) prove that the cause is just and will ultimately prevail. Che recent mauitesto put) forth by the anti prohibidionists will be replied to aud its reasons and conclusions will be shown to have no foundation except in a dis- tempered imagination. Tre will be the daty of the next legislature to pass an as- stiingent prohibition Liaw without sai- initting the same to the people for rvatifi- cation, and in so doing will meet the ap- proval of the moral power of the State.

THE OPEN DRAW-BRIDGE; OR, The Terrible Lesson of a Night. ———— BY BELL BLOSSOM. —_—— ‘There’s no use in talking about it any more, George!’ said Lydia Haw- ken, her voice taking astrange pathos as she spoke. ‘If you don’t give up this encroaching habit of yours, I must give youup!’ George Levison stood silent a mo- ment. He wasa tall, handsome fel- low, with laughing hazel eyes, a lux- nrious brown beard and a forehead bronzed by frequent exposure to sun and air. ; But as Lydia spoke, an ominous shadow passed over his face. _ You are very ready to give me up!’ be said, in a tone of pique. ‘George!’ ‘I thought you loved me!’ ‘80 I did—so I do! Oh, George, | how can you speak so? But—l may as well tell you all- my father will never allow me to marry a babitual drinker.’ ‘That’s all nonsense, Lydia.’ ‘No, itis not nonsense, Just stop and think, George. Where is all this leading you to? What is to be the end of it? She laid her hand pleadingly on the young man’s arm as she spoke. But he drew it coldly away ; evi- dently he was in no humor for coun- sel or advice. ‘Of course,’ said he, ‘if you want to be released from your troth—, ‘Have [ said so, George?’ ‘Not in so many words, but it amounts tothe same thing. And I am not aman to hold any woman to her promise against her will.’ And so George Jeyison coolly off. Lydia Hawkes stood still, looking after him, a mist of tears before her eves, a tumultuous throbbing at her heart. ‘What shall I do? she asked her- self—‘oh what shall I do? ‘Well, child,’ old Mr. Hawkes ask- ed his daughter, when, an hour or so later, she came slowly up to the back door, garlanded with hop-vines and ivy, where the old gentleman sat asmoking his evening pipe, ‘what did he say ?’ ‘He wouldn’t yield, papa.’ Hawkes looked pityingly at his daughter. ‘My darling you, isn’t it? But don’t give up. a man loves liquor better that he loves his promised wife—’ A slight spasm swept across Lydia’s fair face. ‘Don’t papa!’ she cried out quick- ly, as if s»met! ing had stung her, and then she went into the house. Meanwhile, George Levison, walk- ing with his hands behind his baci, strode along the road, his eyes fixed on the grass and pebbles under foot, his brow contracted into 1 frown. ‘By Jove!’ he muttered to himself, ‘it’s getting a little two much. No man likes to be treated as if he were achild in leading-strings; and I for ene won’t stand it!

And it was on the stroke of seven as he issued forth again, with not a very steady step and gait, toward the rail- road draw-bridge, where hekept watch and ward from seven at seven in the morning.

Court adjourned Friday evening both State and Civil duekets being pretty well cleared by that time. A member of the Lenoir bar informs us that more business has been transac- ted during the term of the court than at any previous term since the war. It is the policy of Judge McCoy, | Wherever practicable, to bring the liti- | gating parties together and attempt tu compromise their causes in a man- ner satisfictory to both parties. It | was the success of sucha poliey which | has cleared the Civil doekets of ald jand complicated cases which had been pending for years, involving the htigants in great expense, and causing juumerous family fends. One distress- jg feature of the court) was th e ope- ration of the new law allowing erim- nals to testi! in their own behalf, In consequence of the license whieh this law gives to thieves and villians of all kinds to perjure themselves, the able Solicitor of tis distriet fludts it very dithcuit to convict even those whose guiltisalmostundobted.

A MONUMENT TO HrS MEMORY. From the News & Obverver. At Oakwood yesterday the monu- ment to the late distinguished Chief Justice Richmond M. Pearson was unveiled in the presence of a distin- guished andience. The mouument which rears its shapely form ts the result of the efforts of the ‘Pearson Memorial Association,” to manifest their esteem for their teacher and pay a tribute to his greattiess and ability, The association was formed in by students of the late Chief Justice, resident in Raleigh. The following were the officers: President, Hon, W. P. Bynum; Seerctary, R. TT. Gray, Kxq.; Treasurer, A. W. Iaywood, Esq. Subsequently Judge Bynum resigned, and Gol. Thomas C. Fuller was elected president. The cost of the monument was $2,800, and this sum was raised by the association unong its members, aided by other lawyers, I ~~ Of the thirty-eight young men who have betaken themselves to the law, a number will, as usual, drop out ; but they will find their legal studies no detriment, no) matter) what business pursnits they may hereafter engage in.

Their wonderful adaptability to. the various symtoms of disease is a raarvel to medical men of all schools. For. nervous persons and luna- tics, one or more applied to the spine produc- ed sleep when opiates, even hydrate of chloral, had been of little servire. Now, when one can- not sleep, its is the common practice to apply a Plaster tu the back. You scarcely touch the pillow before you are sound asleep. Alleocks Porous Plasters have the curative effect of the Spanish fly blisters, yet make no sore, and never affect the kidneys ; are conveni- eut for xll ages and conditions, usually only producing a “blush” on theskin,and more cer- tainly curative than liniments or blisters, and without prostration or pain of the latter. This is true even in Croup, Quinsy, Pleurisy, Lung and Throat A ffections, and the utility of this sanitary invention has been warmly wel- comed, They are largely sold in every part of the world, and it is believed that not less than five hundred thousand persons are well, and attending to the duties of life, free from pain, whohave an Allcock’s Porous Plaster some- where about them, and who, but for the said plaster, would be prostrate upon a bed of ago- ny. Besides, a peculiar piny, pleasant odor, halo, or atmosphere exhales from them by the warmth of the body, imperceptible to the eve, but which envelops the person in a cloud of thin vapor, throngh which contagion cannot penetrate. In fact, Allcock’s Plasters supply an atmosphere like that from balsam or pine woods, and no doubt attract ozone, When contagious or infect- tux diseases ure about, they should be worn on the chest or buck as preventives. THE ALLOOSK’S PCROJ3 FLASTER oothes pain, reanimates torpid limbs, seems, in many Cases, lo revive the powers of dite. Chie great demand proves them to be used as a universal remedy, They are convenient ol ap- plication, and safe for all, being incapable of producing any injarious effeets. Dr. Valentine Mott, Dr, Johnson, of Hart- ford, and Dr. Myers, of Savannah, have spoken of them in the highest terms. The great Mott said: 'Phey were all that contd be hoped for ina plaster—simple, cleanly and adhesive; perfect as artificial supporters of the mnecles ; vod for ptins, because of their counter-irritant puatitics, usually at onee giving ease.” Local weakness of the back, breast and side, alvays benefited, thus curing lumbago in a few hours, sometimes Ina few minutes. In serious heart and chest affections their use causes an absorption or evaporation of wa- ter, by which dropsy of the heart and hydro- thorax have undouttedly been cured. ahey appear to have a peculiar effect upon vs nervorns, allaving irritability while snpoly ing warmth, They seem to acemutlate elec trivity, and aid the circulation of the blood thronsh the part where applied, by which heatthy actions are induced The Porous Plasters are flexible, and found fereat help to those v have weak backs yepains in the side, Especially are they val- ble te those who have neglected colds, They Preventives of consumption; nay, —— me 1 d ire often i they are believed to have loosened the erasp of this terribie affietion, and had been mains instrumental in effecting a enre. In. variable clinates Chey should be worn on the breast, or between Che shonlders, or over the kidneys, by those who are subject to take cold easily. This staple plan will soon produce constitutional viver that will enable one to resist extraordi- nary changes of temperature.

We are turniag just now a great leaf in the ponderous tome of our Nation’s his- tory.

I was told at Kansas City last summer that a a vast multitude of them passed threagh averaging $3800 each. A large nunrber who came throcgh Castle Garden aver- aged $1,000 each. Recently twenty fati- lies arrived with $85,000 among them. Mind you, families—not tramps. Addi- tions to the wealth of your coautry, not subtraction. Some of them I saw last Tnes- day at Castle Garden reading their Bib! and hymn books. Théy had Ohrivt-wi them in the steerage and they have Christ with them on the emigrant rail train which every afternnoon at 5 o’clock bears them westward. Our Commissiovers of Emigration take them off the vessel, aud in the name of humanity and God for- ward them tothe place of destination. And soon they will turn the Territories into States and the wilderness into gar- dens if we build for them Churches and establish for them schools and send them Christian missionaries. Are you afraid that this country will be overcrowded on account of this emigration? A fishing- smack on Lake Ontario might as well to-morrow morning fear being crowded as the next ten generatious of our people tear being crowded in America. Do not tell me these foreigners bring either pre- ferences. for other Governments. They are sick of the Governments under which they were oppressed and they want free Ainerica, Give them a mighty gospel of welcome. Throw around them the hospi- talities of the Christian religion. They wiladd their ingaustry and) their hard- earned wages to our National prosperity, aud then we will all go to Christ and this land shall be married. Where do you think the marriage altar shall be lifted ? Let it be on the Rocky Mountains. when through artitieal and mighty irrigatious its tops shall be covered withvineyards and orchards and green fields, The Bos- tons and New Yorks and Charlestous of the Pacitic Coast shall come to the altar trom one side and the Bostous and New Yorks and Charlestoas of the Atlaytiz, coust will come from the other side, aod there amidst them let the Bride of all Na- tious kneel.

Hon. R. P. Dick will leave the city for Concord this afternoon, where he has an appointment to deliver a speech on pro- hibition. The Republican executive com- mittee will be opposed by the Judge throughout the campaign, as .occasion way oifer. An Observer reporter approactied ex- Judge Merrimon with a view of learning his intenCed movements daring the cam- paign, aud was informed that it was this gentlemau’s purpose to be heard throngh- out the State on every oceasion when not at a sacrifice of his legal interests. The Judge will deliver an address on probibi- tion at Gastonia on the 25th iust., and ove at High Point on the same subject on the 4th day of July. lu reply to the question whether in his opinion the leaders of the Republican party throughout the State generally would enter the campaign on the avti- prohibition platform, dudge Merrimoa said that they would not—that the Re- publican executive committee had no an thority to force the issue upon the party, and meutioucd as among tho most able men of that party who are opposing the measure, the names of ex-Judges Albert- sons, Heury, Reade aud Buxton, the for- iner of whom will enter the canvass for prohibition; also that W.S. Ball, Esq., a promivent Republican of Gieensboro, wonld be found on the side of prohibition in the coming contest. The uame of Hon. D. A. Jenkius, of Gaston, was also men- tioned in counection with the above, which leads to the belief that the execu- tive committee in shouldering the anti- prohibition cause assumed a resposibility tor its party which a large majority of the better members of that party will not support. —Char.

CLEANLINESS AND Rest,—Dr. Hall savs the best medicines in the world, more efficient than all the po- tations ef the materia medica, are warmth, rest, cleanliness and pure air, Some persons make it a virtue to have disease, “to keep up” as loug as they can move a foot or wiggle a finger, and jt sometimes succeeds ; but in others the powers are thereby so completely exhausted that the system has lust all ability to recuperate, and stow typhoid fever sets in and carrics the patient to a premature grave. A good bed and cool room are the very first indispensibles to a sure and speedy recovery. Instinct leada all beasts and birds to quietude and rest the very moment that disease or wounds assail the system. eg 0 er It isa very pretty fight which is going on in the New Hampshire Leg- istature, where, by gerrymandering and otherwise, the Republicans have a large majority. The term of Sena- tor Rollins expires in March, 1883, There is to be an election of the Leg- islature in 1882, but that body will not convene under the law until the suinmer uf 1883, three months after Rollins will cease to be a Senator. The Supreme Court has, theretore, given its opinion that the electioa should be held at the present session, which seems reasonable, Rollins fa- vors this because he thinks he can be elect by the members of the present Assembly, William E. Chandler, the political tramp, whose appoint- ment to Mr. Sam, Fhilips’ place the Senate recently rejected, and who is so justly odious for his conduct in Florida in the Presidential swindle of 1876, has put in his claims, and thinks that if the Senatorial election were to be postponed until after the next election, he could manipulate the Stateas he did Florida and get a ma- jority of members pledged to him. He therefore opposes a present election, and as he controls the lower house, he has so far prevented its taking a ballot. He and his friends are now termed the “bolters,” aud they propese to stand out against an election. On the whole it luoks like the Radicals have fallen on bad times. When such a fellow as Chandler cau aspire to a Senatorship, even from a State where the Radicals are as mean as in New Hampshire, it argues badly for that party.

It is not improbable that electric power will soon be used to drive car- riages in our avenues and Central. Park, so great are tlie possitiflities’ uf’ "= s the M. Faure system of storage of electric energy. Already a tricycle, weighing 400 pounds, with its vecue puut, has beer driven through the strects of Paris by electricity at the ~peed of a cab, and it is expected that the same motive power will give such vehicles a speed of fifteen miles an hour, If tricycles and bycyeles can be driven so sutisfactorily by the use of M. Faure’s boxed electric energy, why not ordinary carriages? There is no reason why they cannot be so driven. In fact, it is already an- nounced that an omnibus is to be run by electricity at Berlin, its route be- ing from Zehlendorf to Tetlow, Tn- ventors have toiled in vain to pro- duce a steam wagon that could be safely and economically used on coms mon roadways, but vy taking elec- tricity instead of steam for motive power, they can sacceed in giving us a substitute fue horses to draw our carriages. When people can order a box of electricity from the manufacturer in place of a horse from an extortionate liveryman, riding in Central Park, need no longer be a luxury confined to the rich, and an income of $10,000 a year will not Le essential to keep- ing your own carriage. Sir William Thompson has prouounced the little box sent to Glasgow University by M.

Faure’s discovery reached America, and before any of our contemporaries had suggested any thing of the kind, we pointed out that it would be of vast atility in solving the problem of electric illumination and of the propulsion of vehicles by electire energy. a PRIESTER’s TRIAL.—Priester, the par- ricide, having once been a resident of Charlotte, the subject of his recent trial for the murder of his father is ipterest- ing matter to Charlotte readers. .

It would seem that the snap judgment of the Central Republican Executive Com- mittee for committing the party against the prohibition law is not likely to suc- ceed without a rampus in the family. Judge Dick, one of the foremost mén of the party, opposes it for ove, in terms which show his eontewpt for the proceed- ing. He says: : “The evemies of prohibition call this a party measure.

At 4 p. m. the alumni address was delivered by W. H. Stewart, of Fort Mills, S.C. His subject, “The Obligations of Iustitutions ot Learning to our Country.” At night, lthe anniversary. of the two literary socie- tics of the college took place in the chap- el. The room was well filled. There were six speakers, three representatives from each society, and the prize for the best oration was the beautiful Fowle medal. A committee had been appoint- ed of competent and disinterested gentle- men, asd by their decision of the six cop- ltestants, Mr. Z. A. Morris, of Coucord, N. | C., a member of the Eumenean Society, lreceived tue prize, and to-day, in beauti- ful language, it was given him by Jadge Schenck. The socieues themeelves each presented three medals.

C., called the Holt medal; Mathematical prize medai to Wiley medal, and last the Fowle medal, which was mentioned before. These were presented to the young gentlemen by Judge Schenck in a very happy little speech. He said he would somewhat jmodify the first head in Senator Ransom’s address, aud would say to the young gen- tlemen before him—‘Love the ladies, love all the ladies, love oue lady in par— ticular.” The next matter was the conferment of degrees by the college, aud Dr. Hepburn read the names of two ministers upon whom D.

St. Josern, Mo., June 14.— Sunday wasa terrible dav for eyclones in Sorthwes' Missouri, The atmospheri¢ pressure was very great between 4 and 5 o'clock in th afternoon, and daring that one short hou no less three “tiwisters” dealt death and destruction in as many places. The first that was heard from came from King City and vicinity. This cyclone started near Savannah, in Andrew county. Its course was northwest through Flag Springs and King City. Many houses were destreved and not less than 12 lives lost in Andrew county. At Flag Springs and King City the destrucuion was much greater; loss of life in that city being probably fifty men, women and children, The public school building in King City, a large brick struc ture, Was razed to the ground. Hundred: of horses, cattle, hogs, and sheep were killed, one man losing ten cattle, anothe: ten sheep, and another seven horses. *An- other cyclone started four miles southwest of Rosedate, Andrew county, and passed castward one mile south of Ro-elale. The course of afi the above cyclones was east by northeast. Another started cicht miles northwest of Hopkins, in Nodaway conuty. its course for twelve miles bei south west.

Wwolnel The women of Georgia aud Texas are | : : | prove the law and will support it. are formulating a regular political cam- | Evils exist in a community and. men re- flect upon suitable means to remedy the|: same.” The question comes tp, What must be done? And the solution is, apply to the law-making power, and if adequate re- lief can be ebtained, let it be accomplish- ed; and once a law, the evil ceases. These who become dissatisfied can oppose the €nactment before the Courts; and when the Courts decide, the question is ended for ever. There can be no doubt but that the late prohibition act is constitutional. The question was settled by the Supreme Court of the United States after a full and free discussion upon a review of all the author- ities, which decision bas been approved by the Supreme Court of North Carelina in a very recent case, Having thus settled the constitutionality of the law, all men who abide the same will become satisfied, and if additional legisla- tion becomes requisite the same can be done, and the law made perfect. Intem- perance isa crime, and those who assert the contrary would argue against the sun To cite authorities would be nothing but a useless display of learning, as no valid objection can be made against such an en- actment more than azainst any crime on the statute book. And the statement that such legislation is an alliance with Church and State, is devoid of all foundation. Ail moral men want to see crime banished from society. and ne crime more so than intem- perance, which bas destroyed more souls than anything that could be mentioned. One Church ought to be as deadly op- posed to.this detestable vice as any other, 4s opposition is based upon hostility to a willful violation of law which involves in its cunsequences the most calamitous re- sults. The recent manifesto put forth by the anti-probibitionists is full of errors, and the authors of it are carrying grists to Inyersol’s mill. The temperance question bas been the theme of study and reflection, and many ineasures devised tor the suppression of the same. How can any crime be abolished but by law ? Suppose there was no enact- ment against murder; there would be one hundred homicides where there is now one. So of intemperance. If the Legislature would pass a stringent statute there would not be one sot where there are now many. Civilization demands the suppression of intemperance for reasons obvious to every reflecting mind; and in so doing it is ac- ting for the elevation of the human family all over the globe; and hence Christianity demands it, and will secure the same, for no human influence can withstand its mighty power, All opposition to it will go down to rise no more. The enemies of this reform may check the progress of this movement for a while, but the consummation of it is as certain as any truth in physical science. Let the law be passed, as it will be, and the question will be settled and forever. The statement that Christian organiza- tions are demanding laws for the control of the public conscience, is wide of the mark. The law-makers are only carrying out the wishes and sentiments of a large majority of the citizens of the State who desire the reform ; hence all should so act as to secure the same because it tends to the welfare of all within its influence. It has been said that the subject demands careful theught and reflection, and so it eacs and so it has; for ne subject has been: more profoundly studied than this vice and the measures necessary for its removal trem society ; and the only matter is, that a law should be passed to secure the same, and all moral men would oppose the saine. Tiis is no new problem. Nothing origi- nal can be said against intemperance, as the subject has grown more than threadbare. The only mistake made by the last Leg islature was that it did not pass the law without submitting the same to the ratifi- cation or rejection by the qualiticd voters of the State. The enemies of the law could be heard before the leading tribunals, and their judgment would have been in its favor, and controversy would thus have been ended. The next Legislature will not make the same mistake. Once a law, it will never be repealed ; and its beneficial effects will be felt and appreciated wherever the force of the statute has power. All measures of reform are attended with violent Opposition, and where interest and passion are involved, intense fceling is the result. Religion, truth, justice, and right, will triumph in this as in all contests. The opposition has nething to go on but misrepresentation and abuse, and these el- ements have never yet accomplished any- thing that was desirable. To leave the moral view out of the ques- tion, high considerations of public policy demand the enactment of such a statute, and it would not be leng before the beneti- cial effects of the same would be felt all over the State. Not much more could be said in this es- say, as the subject requires more time and thought than can be given it on an occa sion like the present. The wise. the just, the temperate, the thoughtful will approve of all laws passed forthe elevation and amelioration of the human family ; and the friends of this great movement will never desist until the last vestige of intempcr- ance will have been removed from the State, and what greater benefit could be done than this! Every interest of society would feel its influence and tell with im- mense power upon the moral and material prosperity of the same.

The factory is only in its second year, and the managers expect to manufactare 300,000 pounds of plug and twist this season ; the greater part of which is to fill orders already on file. The factory keeps employed about eighty hands. MESSRS. C. A. HUNT & CO., are also manufacturing tobacco. At present they occupy the old academy building, the only available one in the place. They are working a force of forty hand. Their business has increased to such an extent as to necessitate the build- ing of a large factory, which is now going np pearthe depot. It will be 40x125 feet, three stories high, of brick. WAREHOUSES. Mr. L. C. Haynes is manager of the only warehouse now in the place; but the un- expected success of this one has in- duced Messrs.

A shaft has been sunk and a tunnel to carry off the water is now completed. Ou Friday last Jone, 10th, Mr. James Thompson, aged about 80 years, went to his felds some half mile from his dwel- ling to work, about 2 o'clock p. m., leav- ing his daughter, Miss Margaret Thomp- son, aged about 50 years, in charge of the house. Ou his return at vight he found his daughter lying dead in the yard and his dwelling robbed of a considerable amount of money, about $500. The daughter had been frightfully mangled by several strokes of an axe en her head. The door of the dwelling was opened with a key left ip her charge by her fa- ther when he went to work. The chest where the money was kept, was brokeu open by forcing the lid off. Mr. Thomp- | son aud bis daughter were very respecta- ble, quiet persons; very much esteemed in the community, living a! out 6 miles east of Taylorsville.

The belief was ex- pressed that a great amount of copper lay dormant in the South, which, if prop- erly worked, would be as_ profitable as the lake copper. Major Hoteh- kiss, of Virginia, thanked Professor Egleston for drawing attention to the copper deposits of the South. Very few persons are aware of the great wealih in this mineral with which this State abounds. Forty years ago Richard Tay - lor made explrations and reported on this class of ore. The only. difficulty iv its development them was the lack of transportation facilities. That objection does vot now exist, aud this) industry may be expected to be seen coming promi- nently to the frout. . = © .

Editors Baltimorean: Afew months ago the following statewent appeared in the Asheville Citizen, written by the editor, Mr. Robert M. Furman: ‘We have just returned from our annual visit to Miss Mary Burt, the hermitess of the mountains, and, as few persons ever saw or even heard of this strange woman, a short sketch, embodying all that is known of ker, mnav not be uninteresting to our read- ers. About fifty years ago a prepos- sessing young woman appeared sud- denly in a small mountain village, as if she bad dropped from the sky ; who she was or whence she came, no ove knew, To all questions she re- tied simply: ‘My name Is Mary urt, 1 am a lady and have come licre because it pleased me to do so; other than this concerns no one but myself. She bad no baggage beyoud a few clothes tied up in a handkerchief, but was so lady like in her appearance Point, a tongue of land running oat into Beaufort Haber to which the shipwrecked crew were guided by a fire burning brightly. Here they fuund a party of trading Indians en- camped, who treated them with the utmost. kindness. The men of the party remained but a few days, ship- ping as sailors in a trading Vessel, bound to the West Indies. ‘They would) have taken Mary on beard, but she had such a horrer of the sea that nothing could induce her to trust herself to its waves, and she remain- ed with the Indians, who soon broke up their camp and started for their mountain home, taking her along with them. Gradually her mind recovered from theshock of the shipwreck, and she de- termined to get back to civilization, but not to retarn destitute to her home; so, taking the few cluthes she had managed to save, she one night left the Indian camp, and the next day found herself at the little moun- tain village where she dwelt so long. and deportmeat that when she applied fur work at the house of a well to do . i . * : , farmer, she was gladly received and jt had been wrecked on the coast cf; treated in all respects as an equal. ‘She assisted the farmer’s wife and daughters in the duties of the family, helped with the cooking and washing, the milking and churning, and was eo cheerful and efficient that before many weeks it would have been a sore trial to them to bave parted with her. ‘No one made such light bread as Miss Mary; the butter seemed to eome quicker for her than for any one else, while her skiil in cutting, fitting aud sewing, was something wonderful |tiful mountain glen to the editor of to the daughters of the family. ‘Sbe cuuld sing a song, dance a reel and tell a story so well, that she was soon indispensable at all festival gatherings. ‘Yen or fifteen years passed and the mystery of appearance was gradually forgotton and she seemed to have al- ways been one of the family. ‘About this time she was, after much persuasion, induced to take charge of a country school ne:r by, und, having declined more than oue good offer of marriage, was looked upou as a permanent institution, al- ways to be counted on as ready to as- sist iv all kind offices usually render- ed by good natured old maids, who, having no children of their own to be mother to, become the beneficieut *Aunt’ of a neighborhood. Suddenly, however, her whole char- acter seemed to change and she be- came moody, melancholy and fond of solitude, and, after a few yeais’ teach ing, gave up the school, pirehesed a section of wild land, and had a rude lug hut erected in the mountains, but so far off from all ed weeks without intercourse with any humau being. A dog, a cat, a few chickens and a cow, whose milk sup- | plies the place of tea or coffee, are the obly living things with whom she at such times has any intercourse. ‘Having accidently discovered her hermitage ove summer when trout! fishing, and been indebted to her kindness for a luncheon of sweet po- tutioes and milk, we have every year since given her a call, and found her always an interesting companion, though she has no books and never seus w NeWspaper, except an occasion- al copy of the Citizen which we send ‘The Bible is the only book she pos- sesses, and so faithful has she read it that she is always ready with au apt quotation, and kuows nearly all of it! by heart.

Entering her house, where she was as usual, alone, the stranger said: ‘Mary, do you know me? ‘fT cannot say that I do,’ she re- plied. Seizing her by both hands, he ex- claimed ; ‘Mary Bart Howe, have you forgotten Robert Fletcher ?’ ‘have not,’ she replied, ‘but I supposed you were either married or dead.’ Then the whole story was told to the editor of the Citizen ; Fifty years ago Mary Burt Howe was engaged to) be married to Robt.

It was what might be called a close shave in the ex-pri- 'micr’s case, on account of the news coming in so late. A great deal of i matter that was ready for the forms had to be lifted out, for the sketches must go in, no matter what was sac- rificed.

Hercin lies the secret of the poor performance of ordinary du- tics that we frequently see; the wo- man is content to leave the more se- rious matters of life as the girl left her arithmetic, with the poor conso- lation that she is not elected to do anything with figures, and she is like- ly to regard those able to accomplish creditably the tasks set before them as having a certain mysterious knack, a “slight-of-hand” way of getting along with them.

But whocan bear tosee a brutal ussault, result- jug in the death of a young girl, asin this case, and not resent it with fury. When it shall come to be known that this high crime js certain death to the offender, we shall have less of it. And yet it is an as- tonishing fact that it has not been more than two or three weeks since the negro Taylor was hung for this crime near Reidsville, in au adjoining county to Btokes. So The Statesville American reports the robbery of the dwelling of Rufus Redman, jn Iredell co. The two young men who did it making a find of $100, said to an geld black woman on the premises, that they intended to kill Redman, and waited two heurs after the robbery for his re- turn home, but he did not come. This incident, taken in connection with the recent robbery of Mr. Thompson, in Alezander County, certainly indicates probgbie truth in the story of Henry Gwynn, colored, as published in the Jandmark, of the existence of a secret oath-bound band in Iredell, for the pur- pose of robbery. + oi A Disputed Honor, Ff wo siaultaneous dispatches have heen yeceived by Prof. Swift, of the Warner Observatory at Rochester, New York, by which jt appedrs that another great comet has been discovered. Prof. Sharpless, of Haverford College, Pennsylvania, states that L. T. Edwards saw it with the naked eye on the morning of June 23d, and Mr. Edgar L. Larkin, of New Windsor, IIL, also reports seeing it, and that it is vast. Jt aeema probable that the tail is not less than 15° in length while the head is as bright as Jupiter. The new comet is lo- cated in the constellation of Auriga about 8 degrees from Cape)la, and it is not im- probable that it may be the much expected comet of (81) which should ap- pear not far from that locality. As the two dispatches were received in Roches- ter simujtancously, there is some question us & whether the honor of discovery, and the Warner prize of $200, belong to Mr. Edwards or Mr, Larkin. —_—_—-<+>e____—- A ViLLaGe DESTROYED By Fire,—JLon- Aon, June 24.—A Geneva dispatch says: A village iu Vallajs, consisting of about 300 houses, has been entirely desroyed by a conflagration, One of the houses was get on fire by lightning, and the flames, gndey high wind, rapidly spread over the whole village. ————— St. Louis will be the next city to try the electric light. All the necessary rights and privileges have been granted by the City Council, and work will begin on laying the wires in a few days. The enterprise is in the hands of a number of prominent citi- zens of St. Louis. The Edison system is the ene that will be tested. Nine men have been hanged in Arkansas, by lynchers within @ month. In no case did the sheriff make any determined effort to protect his prisoner, nor have the au- thorities moved to punish the murderers. ——_-a-——_—— From Kansas. Some friend has sent us the Chetopa (Kansas) Advance of June 22d, from which we make the following important selec- tions: We hear it stated that several days ago several beer shops opened out at Parsons in open defiance of law, but Col. True, our County Attorney, who is ever on the alert, snuffed the fumes asthe gale brought it from the north, and was promptly on the ground, and already several suits have been instituted. What the results were we have not at this writing learned. We also hear that a man tried the same game at Oswego, but on Monday he was arrested and fined $300, and his saloon closed. Experience is a hard school, but foolscan only be made to learn anything therein. We opine they will have considerable instruction in this kind of a school inthe near future in Kansas, 4 There has been a conviction for the vio- lation of the prohibitory law at Junction City. William Gibson gave a drink to an old-toper of the town known as “Trish Jimmie,” and was at once hauled up, the jury giving him thirty days in the county jail and to stand committed until all costs are paid. A gentleman named Kelley, of Pawnee Rock, Barton county, was jailed at Great Bend for drunkenness. When he got out he hunted up the man who informed on him, and beat him nearly to death. Mr. Kelley is in jail again, and the cemmunity has made up its mind that he shall stay there awhile, too. Mr, Archibald Drake, the great grandson of Mrs. Andrew Balfour, who was the first postmistress in this country, being commis- sioned for Salisbury, N. C., by George Washingten, once President of these United States, wife of Andrew Balfour, who was killed during the war of the revolution, which was fought several years ago, by the notorious Tory, Col. Fanning, now resides at Chetopa, in this State. We trust the above is clear and plain, as we have tried to make it so.— Leavenworth Times. The above 1s true except that the name of Mr. Drake is Archibald G. Mr. Drake is one of our eldest and best citizens, is what is rarely seen—an honest, conscientious lawyer; we presume, because he came from good North Carolina revolutionary stock. —>_- --—— The 9th Annual Press Convention met in Winston last week. The session was spent very much as former ones have been. W. W. Holden’s address on the history of Journalism in North Carolina is spoken of as being the most attractive feature.

Was the Land- mark there? _ Os > > oO Not INTERESTED.—There are in Dr. Mott’s revenue district about 400 distil- leries, which pay a tax to the government of about $400,000. It takes $275,008 to collect this tax, which $275,000 goes to Dr. Mott and the government officials interest- ed. Is ita very surprising matter that they should desire the defeat of prohibi- tion, and that they should labor for the ' protection of the traffic which affords them such a bonanza? When they try to make us believe that they are actuated by disinter- ested motives they must imagine our cre- dulity is equal to their pretended patriot- ism and disinterestedness. $275,000 a year is an argument the potency of which they recognize and uct upon.—Char. Observer. SunnIEnEnen onan SENATOR HILL ON DAVIS’ THE RELATIONS BETWEEN MR. DAVIS AND GENERAL LEE. In a conversation with a newspaper in- terviewer a few days ago, Senator Ber Hill, of Geergia, defended in most respects Mr. Davis’ “History of the War,” and criticised the policy of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston in the conduct of his campaign from Dalton to Atlanta. In regard te the reported dif- ferences between Mr. Davis and Gen. Lee as to the snrrender of the army, Mr. Hill says: “I have read with a great deal of amuse- ment much of the stuff that has been printed about it. In January, 1865, the two houses of the Confederate Congress created a joint committee te inquire into the condition of the army and the means of continuing the war. I was onthe commit- tee upon the part of the Senate. That com- mittee held secret sessions, and examined almost every prominent man in the Confed- eracy from Jeff Davis down. When Gen. Lee was on thestand I examined him myself, and in great detail. When asked about his holding Richmond, he said he could do go until Grant could get the men and the time to push around upon his flanks so as to threaten his communication with the South. He explained that Grant's forces. were constantly increasing, and that he had unlimited supplies of men and mu- nitions, both of which Gen. Lee lacked. He said that his army was constantly weakened by desertions, After Gen. Lee had explained the situation about Rich- mond, I put the question directly to him : ‘Will the fall of Richmond end the war?’ “The old hero raised himself in the chair, and with a great deal of fecling said; ‘By no means, sir; by nemeans. Ina military point of view J would be stronger after than before such an event, because it would enable me to make my own plan of cam- paign and battle. From a moral and polit- ical point of view, the abandonment or loss of Richmond would be @ serious calamity, but when it has fallen I believe I can pro- long the war for two years upon Virginia soil, Ever since the conflict began J have been obliged te permit the enemy to make my plans for me, because compelled to de- fend the capital. When Richmond falls I shall be able to make them for myself.’ ‘This emphatic statement shaped the re- port of the committee in favor of continu- ing the war, and ought to settle the point conclusively that Lee never thought of surrenderjpg until he found that he could not get his army out and was obliged to.” ‘Was Davis angry at Lee’s surrender ?” ‘Not that I know of. I have talked with Mr. Davis fully once only since the war. Not more thantwo years agol spent a whole day with him, and I never heard him say an unkind word or utter a disparage- ment of Gen, Lee in my life. I believe the relations between himself and Lee were not jonly barmonioys, but cerdial to the last.” BOOK. 7 ee A Couple of Small Sized Epistles for J. J. Mott & Co, —_— We respectfully commend the follow- ing, which we find in the Raleigh News & Observer, to the attention of J. J. Mott & Co. The first is from Bishop Hood, who speaks for the colored people, the second from Hon. W. A. Smith whose Republi- canism wi!! not be called into question : FAYETTEVILLE, Jane 22, 1881. * *** As guardians of the party’s inter- ests, these men have betrayed their trast. In the language of the prophet Isaiah, “They have made a league with hell and a covenant with death.” They have giv- en the devil, 80 to speak a bill of sale for the party, but we give them notice that they shall not deliver the goods. ‘’Nine-tenths of the party in favor of the liquor interest!’ You had as well tell us that vine-tenths of the holy angels are in favor of Satan’s reign. The ene- mies of the Republican party have said many hard things about it, but none so slanderous as this. As a representative Republican, second to no man in work for and devotion to its true intcrests, I hereby declare that neither a fraction nor the entire Republican committee is au- thorized to speak for the party in this wwatter. No convention of the party bas ever discussed the subject, and not even a township ineeting of the party has ever called upon the committee for an ex- pression. I look upon their action as treason to the party’s interest, and their expression as gratuitous impudence. J. W. Hoop. Princeton, N. C., June 20, 183]. Hon. H. A. Gudger, Chairman, Raleigh, NC: Dear Sir:—My opinion is that the Republican executive committee has neitheir the power nor the authority to bind Republicans to vote for or against prohibition. Republicans and Democrats voted for the prohibition bill regardless of party in the Legislature, and will do the same in the coming election. And vow for the Republican executive com- mittee to issue a bull against prohibition, thinking it can gain a temporary advan- tnve by joining the devil against the Democratic party, is a copartnership that older heads would never have consented to.. Any attempt that the Republican committee may make to prove the Deim- ocratic party a temperance party will be a failure, as it has a national reputation to the contrary, and no one in the coun- try will believe such glorious pews even from the Republican committee. I for one am opposed to the Democrats Laviug the henor of being the father of the pro- hibition bill, and wish the honors to be divided evenly upon this question. It is not a party question and cannot be made 80. Yours truly, W. A. SmitH. -_ Garfield and Davenpert. As we anticipated, says the Charlotte Observer, United States Commissioner Davenpert testified before the bribery investigating committee at Albany that Mr. Garfield did net authorized him to make any trade with Senator Strathan to secure LW vote against Conkling in con- sideration for the United States marshal- ship. But there remains no doubt iu the mniuds.of those who read the interview between Strathan and Davenport and Davenport’s account of his conference with Garfield that he knew what Daven- port was doing in the premises and sane- tioned it. Why was it pecessesary for him to consalt Davenport as to the appointment of a United States marshal in New York? Was it so difficult to find some one to fill the posi- tion that they had to gs aroand Washing- ton and New York to hunt upa man will- ing to accept it, when the truth is there were hundreds of Republicans of average competency too willing and anxions to serve their country in that way. Noone ever heard of an office of that kind in these days to go begging. The probabilites are, and probabilities strengthened by the developments in the case, that they were trying to secure some one of influence who might be used against Conkling, and the pay of whom was to be the United States marshalship. To secure this in- fluence was the part of the job assigned to Davenpart, and whilst Mr. Garfield may not have said 80 in so many words, he no doubt authorized his tool to make a bargain of that kind. A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse. ————~.>-__ A Victim of the Bottle. A well daessed little boy between ten and twelve years of age entered the Wes- ters police station on Tuesday and asked Lt. Cadwallader if there was a “large lady in the lockup.” It was his mother for whom he was looking, who left her beard- ing-house the day before in an advanced state of intoxication, and had not since re- turned, The Lieutenant told the boy that his mother had been in the station that night, but that she had paid ‘her fine to keep the magistrate from committing her to jail. With his eyes bathed in tears the boy then stated that the boarding-house mistress had ordered himself and his sister out of the house on account of the miscen- duct of the mother, who was in a perpetual state of intoxication. He further said that the family belonged to Philadelphia, and that his father,a wealthy merchant, had abandoned his mother on account of her propensity to drink. She spent thousands of dollars before the separation took place, and when it did occur, a few months ago, the mother with her son and daughter came to this city. His sister had secured a situation ina store on Lexington street, bat she was afraid the mother would come to see her when she was under the influence of drink, and she would lose her place.— Baltimore Sun. ———_—_ + WasHINGTON, June 25.—A murder was committed here to-night, which will be noted both on account of the place where the crime was committed and on account of the relationship of the actors in the tragedy. A Mr, Christmas, the son-in- law of the famous Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, shot and instantly killed Mr. Whitney, the son of Mrs, Gaiaes by her first hus- band, iu the celebrated Catacazy mansion in this city. The murder was the result of liquor and a business quarrel. “ BLACK-DRAUGHT ” cures costiveness Albany, Jane 28.—The vote in t con- vention to fill the short term torial vacancy was as follows: Potter 45, Conk- ting 31, Wheeler 42, Comell 8, Lapham 17, Folger 1, Rogers—. No choice. The convention then proceeded to vote to fill the long termevacancy, with the fol- lowing result : Depew 50, Kernan 49, Platt 27, Cornell 9; Wheeler 1, Crowley 6, Hos- kins 11, Lapham 8, Tremaine 1. . The chair announced that no election had been had in either case. INDICTED Fog BriBERY.—Albany June 28.—An indictment for bribery has been found against Sessions. He is held in $3,000 bail. ee The Legislatare of New York costs the people of that State $2,000 per day. The tax payers, no duubt, feel that they are not getting the worth of their money, while the legislators are dissatisfied be- cause they can’t draw pay now, as the session has run over the limit fixed by the State constitution. It is pretty safe to predict, however, that among the clos- ing acts ef the session will be a “bill to provide for paying members for extra service,” ctc. There are many cases re- corded of State Legislatures having re- mained in session lopger than the consti- tutional term, but not a single instance in which the membera went home without their money.” > Thus says the Washinug- ton Star. But it should have known or remembered that op two occasions, in 1879 and again in 1881, the North Car- olina Legislature remained at work a week after the limit of its term had been passed, aud that for this eatra service not ove cent of pay was charged for or drawn. News and Observer. od Mr. F. A. Dreyspring, the manager of the Cape Fear Silk Culture Company, lo- cated near Little River Academy, in Cum- berland county, has shown the editor of the Fayetteville Examiner some fine spec- imens of cocoons spun by the worms in his establishment. “They are of varied and delicate shades, according to the species of worm. Thesefcocoons are ready for market, the worm being destroyed (stifled), and are worth about three dol- lars per pound. For the cocoons there is a market at Philadelphia or in Raleigh, N.C. But we are informed by Mr. Drey- spring that the most profitable branch of this industry is that of the reproduction of this valuable worm. The eggs are worth five dollars per ounce, and the de- mand for them in Europe is very great owing to a disease at work there which destroys them in vast numbers annually. To supply the deficiency thus brought about, great quantities of the eggs are carried from China and Japan to Europe. They are brought through the Uuited States, over the Central and Union Pa- cific Railroad, and shipped from New York. This route is preferred on account of the delicacy of the worms which wight be destroyed by the vicissitudes of heat znd cold incident to a voyage through the equatorial seas.” ee The Wisconsin prohibitionists propose to accomplish their object by business methods. A State prohibitory amend- ment association has been formed with a capital of $100,000 in 100,000 shares of $1 each, for the purpose of securing the adoption of a coustitutional amendment prohibiting the sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquers, and for procnring the enactment and enforcement of laws carrying out the provisions of the amend- ment. Any one can become a member of the association by subscribing to one or more shares of stock, and the funds are to be used in advancing temperance retorm by organization, moral suasion, the dis- tribution of temperance literature, lee- tures, etc. The Texas prohibition asso- ciation urge their friends to rally for a struggle, but wish to keep the movement separate from politics. ——~enoor The Credit System Among News- papers. Experience teaches every newspaper proprietor the evils of the credit system in conducting a vewspaper, but it has been a long time since we have seen su forcible an example as the following: “Tn an address upon the powers and duties of the press before the Northern Indiana Editorial Association last week at Wabash, Mr. Richard Smith, editor of the Cincinnatti Gazette, speaking of the evils of the credit system, said: ‘When the Gazette Company changed from the credit to the cash in advance system, there were 880,000 due oni the books from weekly subscribera alone, that had been accumulating fora third of a century. Of that amount not 80,000 cents were col- lected. We employed a man and fur- nished him a good horse and sent him off oa acollecting tour. In six months the horse died, the saddle and bridle were pawed for keep, aud the man returned a considerable balance against the com- pany. We sold the books for old paper and called those credits lost.” ep An astronomer, writing to a Northern paper, says: ‘“Asthe moon will be at her inferior conjunction on the 25th, and as the planets will be but a few degrees out of conjunction, | would advise sea- men to get their vessels into safe barbors till that date be passed. Terrific gales, ac- companied by hail,;will blow in the south- east all along the Atlantic coast. Bril- liant showers of meteors will occur, espe- cially witbin the tropics. The tides will be unasually high in the West Indies, and a hurricane will prevail on the east side of the Rocky Mountains. The mouth of July will be excessively hot, owing to the heated atmosphere returning from the equatorial regions.” ose Tue Commer.—Louiaville, Ky., Jane 23.—Prof. Klein, of Hartford, this State, claims that he discovered the comet now attracting attention, in September last. He says this is the comet of 1783. The Immigrants. — Satissury, N. C., June 29, 1881. To the Editor of the Watchman : Dear Sir: We were mere than t ed to read in the last issue of the lotte Democrat an article headed “Serious Complaint of Immigrants,” copied from the New York Zimes. A paper published in our immediate neig , ought cer- taivly, in our estimation, convince itself whether there is a grain of foundation in such charges as is brought in said article. The editor of the Democrat, if he had ta- ken the trouble to run up to this place, or if he had only written for information, could have easily learned that the article as published in the New York Zines, as far as Salisbury is concern, is but a fab— pteataon of falsehoods from beginning to end. We do not wish to enter into a contro- versy about it, but anybody, feeling the least interest in those immigrants and desirivg to know the truth as regards their treatment, etc., may address a ieee to almost any professioual or basiness man in Salisbury, who, we venture tosay, will give a truthful and a very different state- ment, for they all have tried and endeav- ored tu secure work and good homes for them. In this they have so well succeed- ed that a majority of the immigrants are so mach pleased as to have written for their families and friends to come and make their homes in this section of our State.

Engineer, with bis twoassistants, Mr. Frank Brown and Mr. Reid Whitford, are working a force of about fifty hands in the river, just above the old Locke Bridge. They have two large hoisting scows, rigged with derricks, five large stone scows and a lot of row boats. They clear about twenty cubic yards per day with this force. The chaunelis being opened from tifty to seventy-five feet wide, to clear three feet at average low water. They expect to get halfa mile above Sower’s Ferry by thelast of the month, which will be near three miles of the work doue. The blasting is done with dymauite, fired by av Electric battery. With this apparatus, any number of charges may be discharged at ouce. They generally fire from five to ten charges ata time. The water is thrown from 60 to 75 teet per- pendicularly, and falls back in white spray-occasionally, bits of rock are thrown in all directions, bat generally the charge goes down in the rock. Capt. James told usthat he had ordered, (and the machinery was onthe way) two steam hoists and two steam drills, with engines to run them. These are to take the place of the slow derricks, aud will greatly facilitate the work. The men are, of course compelled to work in the water, and there is trouble to get men to stick, but they are becom- ingaccustomed toit, andthe regular force does not give much trouble. These men are quartered and fed by the government and paid by the month. This is only half the force—the other scows, under Mr. Brown are coming down the vorth fork of the river aud will work, The work is going on well aud ander the present management will continue to eee mae tee ee ’ MINING INTELLIGENCE.

Last Tuesday, iu company with our friends of the Reyister and Sun, aud W.M. Smith of Concord, we made a hasty trip to several of the mines of Cabarrus. The first we came to was the **QUAKER CITY GULD MINING COMPANY OF PHILADELPUIA.” This property consisting of 95 acres, lies eight miles east from Concord. Win. Treloir is superintendent. He bas had long experience in N.C. mines, having worked at Gold Hill in this county, in 13844, aud has beeu more or less engaged in our mines ever since. The Quaker City was incorporated un- der the laws of North Carolina, in 1880, and has a capital stock of $200,000, with as many shares—noin-assessable,. The ores are, after reaching the water line, heavy sulphurets, with an average value of 332.00 per ton. The highest as- say showed a valce of $117.00 per ton. The vein trom) which this ore is taken has an average width of two and a half feet, aud is called the great “Eldorado vein.” On this vein three shafts have been sunk; No. 1 eighty feet, No.2 sixty feet and No. 3 forty-five feet. Ores are being lifted from No, 1. They are running two drifts from the 80 fuot level, twenty feet each way. They havea five stamp battery, with amalgamating machinery, two Raster Mills, with other machinery for concen- trating the gold; one chilling mill, two horse whims, blacksmith shop, mill house 24x60 feet, three frame dwellings aud the usual cabins. , The mills and stamps are going, and Mr, Treloiris much pleased with the pros- pects. They have about 175tons of ore on the dumps. He says he expects the mine to yield dividends shortly. TUCKER GOLD MINING COMPANY. This property, 584 acres, is located seven miles southeast of Concord. It was incorperated auder the general min- ing laws of this State, June 3.1, 1831. The capital stock, $300,000, is divided into 300,000 shares of non-assessable stock. The ores are heavy sulphurets, sulphu- rets of iron, with slight trace of copper. The average value of ores outside of pock- ets, is about $22 per ton; in the pockets the ore is worth seven hundred and tifty dollars per bushel—has turned out that much. On the property are six veins, average width two feet. The widest 5 feet, the varrowest, 14 inches. Work has only been begun since June 3:1, cor- sequently no new shafts have been sunk. There are, however, three shafts down some sixty feet each, the result of the ante-bellum workings of 1843. They have up a mill house, 24x80 feet, a new engine, 30 horse power, and boiler 40 horse power; a ten stamp mill—700 pound stamp; saw mill—52 iuch saw; brick yard aud blacksmith shop. Capt. W. H. Grehard is the superiu- tendent, aud 4 pleasant, genial gentle- man be is, understanding thoroughly his business. He says that the tailings, or sands, are to be concentrated, and will probably be run through the Meares Chlorination Process—their works at the Phoenix mine being convenient for that purpose. We next visited the Phenix, which is a large mine, with extensive machinery, A description of this mine will be given pext week. The “Reed” and “Pioner Mills” mines are also in operation in Cabarrus and we hope to ventilate them at an early day. _—e $200,000 Nor Enoven.—In an essay on the ‘nines and minerals of the State,” published in this paper a day or two ago it was stated that 2200,000 had been in- vested in mining machinery within the past year.

Tees ee Mg ae a RO AN — PREFACE. _ This little book is an accident. While engaged in collecting material for another purpose, the writer was led tO examine the early records preserved in the Court House in Salisbury, and in the coursé of his inves- tigation happened upon a number of things that appeared to be of gengral interest. Mentioning this fact casually-:to the editor of the Carolina Watchman, the writer was asked to embody these items of interest in a few articles for that newspaper. This led to additional research, and to the accumu- lation of a pile of notes and feferences that These the editor thought should be printed in u pamphlet of fifty or a hundred small pages for preservation, and he began at once to print off a few hundred copies frdm the type used in the newspaper. As the work went on, other facts were’ gathered from traditions, from family records, and from the pages of books written about North Carolina, such as the Histories and Sketches of Hawks, Caruthers, Foote, Ban- croft, Wheeler, Lawson, Byrd, Jonés, Wiley, Moore, Hunter, Bernheim, Gillett, and from miscellaneous diaries, périodicals, and man- uscripts. These were inipnded. to farnish a frame for the’picture of Old Rowan, and side lights that it might be seen to ad- vantage. And thus the little pamphlet hxs It was written in installments from week to week amid the in:essant demands of regular professional duty, and without that. care and revision that might bave saved it from expression. Both the writer and the pub- lisher would have been glad to have ex- pended more time and care upon the work, so as to render it more werthy of the noble County whose annals it is intended to re- cover and perpetuate. Still it is believed that very few “serious errors have been made. Local traditions have been com- pared with general history, and have been found te cvincide wherever they came in contact. The writer has been indebted to a num- ber of persons for the facts which he has Miss Christine Beard—a grand- daughter of John Lewis Beard, and of John Dunn, Esquire—now eighty years of age, with a remarkably retentive memory, has furnished personal recollections of the Town of Salisbury, covering seventy years. She has also treasured up the stories heard in her youth from the lips of her ancestors, running back to the first settlement of the County. Messrs. J. M. Horah and H.N. Woodson, the Clerk and the Register, kind- ly gave access to the old records in the Court House, dating back to 1753. Jobn 5. Henderson, Esq., Rey. S, Rothrock, Rey. H. T. Hudson, D. D., Rev. J. J.

McLeod Turner, Keeper of the State Capitol, very kindly furnished, free of charge, a copy ef the Roll of Honor of the Rowan County soldiers in the Confederate Army. The re- vision and completion of this Roll was supcrintended by Mr. C. R. Barker, who be- stowed vreat care and much time upon this work, thanks are due to all these persons. In fact, it has been a labor of love, without hope of pecuyiary reward, with the Author, and all these who have contributed to this performance. With these statements the little bouk is sent forth with the hope that it will be of some service to the citizens of North Carolina, and especially to the people of Rowan. No attempt is made to point out typo- graphical errors. They are generally of such a nature as to be readily corrected by the intelligent reader. The following er- rors may be noted. On page 148 it is stated that no man knows where the grave of John Dunn, Esq., is. Further inquiry, however, revealed the fact that the spot is still known, The correction is given on page 199, ; On page 254 Matthew Brandon is repre- sented as having had two daughters. A fuller account reveals the fact that he had three other daughters—one who married a Mr. McCombs, of Charlotte—another who married Wm. Smith, of Charlotte—and still another who married George Miller, of Salisbury. A daughter of thy last. named couple married Lemuel Bingham, Associate Editor of the Western’ Carotinidn in 1820-23. These were the parents of ths. Binghams now of Salisbury. ae On page 258 John Phifer is represented as settling in Rowan, near China Grove. Further inquiry seems to show that John Phifer never lived in Rowan, but that his widow moved to that place after her mar- riage with George Savitz, ~ | On page 296, 3d line from top, read Strasburg instead of Richmond. On page 367 it is stated that the Rev. W. D. Strobel and Rey. D. I. Dreher were min- isters to the Saliabury Lutheran Churcia. This statement dees uot appear to be cor- rect. It further appears that*the Rey. S. Rothrock’s first term of service in Salisbury was in 1833, and his second in 1836; and that the Rev. Mr. Roscumuller came between Mr. Reck and Mr. Tabler. ~ The reader will observe in these sketchcs occasional references to the Mecklenburg Declaration of May 20th, 1775, and te its signers, with no expression of doabt as to its authenticity. This course has been pursued because the writer -did not feel called upon to settle, or even discuss that vexed question, and he did not feel author- ized to sct at defiance the conclusions that seem to be sustained. by the: bulk of the testimony, and to adopt instead the deduc- tions of critics derived from real or sup. posed inconsistencies and contradictions in that testimony.

Enochville, June 25th, 1881. ar I ea For the Watchman, Mr. Editor ; Since A. D. 1611 the year in which the authorized verdfon of the bible was published, our bible las been comparatively at rest from revision. During the past 270 years, it has gather- ed sacredness. Thousands have believed ifs records, hoped in its promises, walked by its Jight, and died and received its re- wards. It has revolutionized nations, and given stability to governments, by its heavenly light. It has a stronger hold on the affections, and is being read by more people, now than ever before. Future generations will louk back to 1831 as an epoch in tue history of the new testament, At this time great anxiety to know what changes the revisiors have made, prevails. Last month the revised New Testament was printed, and now we have the books. The chapters and verses are not divided, as they are in ‘King James’ bible :” the chapters and verses are numbered on margin. Of course the headings of the chapters are gone. There are numerous marginal readings. Varions changes have been made, espe- cially in the use of the definite and in- definite articles. Terms are trauposed. inany verbal changes are made. In the 9th chapter and 4th verse of John, the pronoun “1” is changed to the plural “We” and makes Christ associate his dis- ciples with him in his work. Some claus- ces and verses are omitted. In the 5th chapter of Johu the last clause of the 3d verse and the whole of the 4th verse are left out. This clause and verse are cer- tainly an explanatory note, and probab- ly John never did write it. That text that speaks forcibly to the tri-unity of the Godhead contained in 1 John 5 chapter and 7th verse is omitted. Its authenti- city has long been questioned. But still the doctrine of the trinity has other proof texts that are in tbe revised testament. The punctuation has undergone some changes. Some declarative sentences are nrade interrogatory by change of puncta- ation. Mat. JL ch. 23 ver. reads “And thon Capernaum, shalt thou be exalted unto heaven?) thou shalt go down unto Hades. So glso Luke 10 ch. 15° ver., “Theu Agrippa said unto Paul almost thou persnadest me to be a christian “Acts 26: 23 The new version reads: “Aud Agrippa said unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make Ine a christian” according te the old ver- sion we thought King Agrippa was almost ready to embeacing christiauity under Paul’s appeal to his belief of the prophe- cies. But according to the new it seems that Agrippa thought Paul’s arguments contemptible or fatile or too “little per- suasious,” to demand his attention. Dr. Young of Europe, Author of “Analyti- cal Concordance” says that in the follow- ing places, Mat. 11 ch: 23 ver. also 16: 13. Luke 10:15, also 16:23. Acts 2: 27 & 31. Rev. 1:18, also 6: 8, 20: 13-14 the unseen world. The new version has the word hell translated Hades, in all the above texts. Bet the revisors could vot relicve us of the harsh word bell, for in the following places the word is found in the new revision viz: Mat. 5: 22 & 29, Mat. 10:28 and 18:9, Mat. 23: 15, also 23 83. Mark 9 :43-45-47 verses. Luke 12:5. James 3:6, 2 Peter 2:4. The word is in the text, while the marginal reading is “Gehenna”—“Gehenna of fire.” The close or doxology of the Lord’s prayer is taken out of the text and placed in the margin. Our old precious tearstained bibles will not be laid aside for the new version yet awhile. The new version may receive an adoption by pulpits and family altars after many days, but not now, J.C.
